QPR’s home hitman hogs the array of impressive numbers on show from the weekend, ably assisted by stellar showings from Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen. Elsewhere in our regular members’ statistical digest, we examine how Man City’s tactical tweaks influenced two of their key midfielders and analyse how a pair of returning United assets are hinting at major hauls as their minutes begin to build.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    13K casuals got rid of Bony who has Aston Villa at home

    jeez

    1. Just A Wooden Spoon
      11 years, 10 months ago

      And likely to he nailed now he's had a rest.

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      impulsive

    3. Just A Wooden Spoon
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Thinking about it, probably clambering to get Austin.

      1. La Roja
        11 years, 10 months ago

        ...who has Arsenal away. World is going mad

    4. andres
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I think I am selling after the villa game

  2. Danstoke82
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I am pondering swapping Bony for Giroud this week.

    Considering Giroud is playing at home against QPR it seems a no brainer. Bony has Villa at the Liberty though so thats my problem.

    Would this swap be a good one?

    1. La Roja
      11 years, 10 months ago

      see above

    2. akamal84
      11 years, 10 months ago

      i am considering the same move,but my concern is that giroud never completes 90 minutes

    3. A.T
      11 years, 10 months ago

      For no hit and you had nothing better to do I'd say yes.

      1. Danstoke82
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Will be a straight swap so no hit for the move.

        Just can't help but think that Giroud might have a decent week against the QPR defence whereas Im not overly sure why Bony only part figured this week.

  3. Patty
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Either of

    Baines > Zab

    Vlaar > Bavies

    Yaya/Sanchez > Silva/Cazorla

    Costa > Falcao/Giroud/Rooney

    worth a FT

    1. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Zabaleta can't be ignored right now im afraid

      1. La Roja
        11 years, 10 months ago

        this, zaba is playing ridiculously attacking

      2. Patty
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Only turn off is that Baines has STK this weekend, will Zab we rested soon?

        1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
          11 years, 10 months ago

          This

          I'm in the same boat.. I'm thinking he will play Boxing Day then Sagna for Home game v Burnley so probably not worth it..

        2. RubeRx
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 10 months ago

          its a mystery with Pellegrini
          See how Stoke play today and then reevaluate
          Everton looks really poor right now

  4. Christina.
    11 years, 10 months ago

    When is Costa gonna be rested?

    1. Patty
      11 years, 10 months ago

      possibly this game

      1. Just A Wooden Spoon
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Only just had a rest a couple of weeks back no? Jose said he needs mins on the pitch to get back to his best so I doubt it.

        1. Christina.
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Was that before or after Maureen saying everyone will at least miss one game over the Festive period?

          1. Mr Sarcastic
            11 years, 10 months ago

            but that included cup game last week....

      2. Christina.
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I wouldn't mind a Costa Red card tonight.

        Even though I own him.

        1. La Roja
          11 years, 10 months ago

          how about feck off, he is my captain

          1. Christina.
            11 years, 10 months ago

            ...found out Christine is actually Christian...a ladyboy?

            🙄

            1. La Roja
              11 years, 10 months ago

              i beg you pardon?

              1. Christina.
                11 years, 10 months ago

                ...you are very aggressive. could only mean Christine...bedroom issues...

                lol

                1. La Roja
                  11 years, 10 months ago

                  lol

        2. Mr Sarcastic
          11 years, 10 months ago

          That would be easily best result for me too!
          No captain and everyone has him + I want to do some transfers.
          Cue Hazard (c) red after saying this.

    2. La Roja
      11 years, 10 months ago

      when he gets 3 more yc's

    3. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I will Speed dial The Special One and get back to you bud..give me 5mins or so

    4. A.T
      11 years, 10 months ago

      28/12

      1. Christina.
        11 years, 10 months ago

        south?

        1. A.T
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Pardon? 😀

    5. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      halftime
      think it might depend on the results Chelsea get, they have some tricky fixtures coming up

    6. Mr Sarcastic
      11 years, 10 months ago

      That is The Question.
      Will se what happens tonight, but if he blanks....oooohh so tempted to boot him NOW!

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        11 years, 10 months ago

        For who? Already gone cheap with Kane and Giroud

        1. Mr Sarcastic
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Benteke or Giroud

  5. BooYaKasha
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Bertrand + Sanchez + Ayoze >> Naylor + Silva + Giroud (-4)

    Sounds good?

    1. Patty
      11 years, 10 months ago

      not the Sanchez part?

    2. Caesar, Hot Mustache
      11 years, 10 months ago

      no! absolutely not, I wouldn't lose Alexis just yet

  6. And we all have legs
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Guzan
    Baines Bavies Terry (Hutton, Duff)
    Hazard Siggy Sanchez Yaya (Boyd)
    Rooney Austin Benteke

    1.2m ITB, 2FTs.

    Not sure what to do here. Want to get rid of Siggy, probably to Sterling. Need 0.3m to make that happen so thinking of downgrading Baines to Zab or Rooney to anyone but I don't really see any options. Also Im a bit worried about minutes for Sterling and Zabaleta.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Much appreciated 🙂

    1. Caesar, Hot Mustache
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I think Zabaleta would hardly get rested, Rodgers is clueless, so he might keep playing Raheem until he passes out. smh
      you could lose baines for Zabaleta & wait to know if Siggy's fit for the Villa game. I've Siggy, I'm keeping

      1. And we all have legs
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Might do this, cheers.

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Rooney >>> Kane -- Boyd >>>> Sterling

      Play Kane this week Austin next 5 man midfield boom

      Your welcome

      1. And we all have legs
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Damn that's interesting. Cheers.

    3. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      tough one
      you can also do Rooney to Bony and then upgrade Siggy

      1. And we all have legs
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Don't want Bony. Mostly away games till he goes ACON. If he wasn't going that would definitely be my move.

  7. Tshelby
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I think this could work:
    siggy/rooney -> sterling and bony

    The problem is then that i don't have any man u players left

  8. Eye of the Schweinsteiger
    11 years, 10 months ago

    A)Costa and Debuchy/(5.3m defender)
    or B) Bony and Terry??

    1. Patty
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Bony & Zab?

      1. Eye of the Schweinsteiger
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Have Zab

  9. Patty
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Hazard or Sanchez (c)?

    Sanchez has arguably one i the easiest fixtures of the year, however his form isn't the best

    Hazard is at home against a attacking West Ham defence, his form is very good

    1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Haz

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      11 years, 10 months ago

      See how HAZ plays tomorrow but right now it's on Aazzarr

    3. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      he has only blanked 3 out of the last 10
      I'm sticking with Sanchez but I'm totally biased

  10. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I assume Austins ownership took a big leap in the last two days

    1. La Roja
      11 years, 10 months ago

      it did but us owners got feck all as his price is still locked

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      well you didn't expect it to free fall after that performance...

  11. Kuqi Monster
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Best sunderland defender to get considering the usual factors of price, security of starts and suspension risk?

    1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Oshea

    2. La Roja
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Vergini

    3. Delusional
      11 years, 10 months ago

      O'shea

    4. Patty
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Vergini or O'Shea probably, vergini rotation risk, O'shea 4 yellows, however only 2 more games until the ban is over

      1. Kuqi Monster
        11 years, 10 months ago

        thanks guys, leaning towards o'shea at the moment.

  12. andres
    11 years, 10 months ago

    you think hazard will be rested at some point?

  13. akamal84
    11 years, 10 months ago

    anyone going for Eriksen(C) other than me?

    1. Shifty
      11 years, 10 months ago

      not me.

  14. Lyonnais
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I've Costa and Hazard, but neither as captain. Do i want them to score ?

    1. Shifty
      11 years, 10 months ago

      yes, brace each please.

  15. Tshelby
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Siggy/Rooney/Chambers -> Bony/ Sterling/ Debuchy (-8)

    Or wait with Chambers -> Debuchy?

  16. andres
    11 years, 10 months ago

    why didnt hutton play against united?

    1. Holmes
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Suspension

  17. akamal84
    11 years, 10 months ago

    guys oshea is on 3 yellows or 4?

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      11 years, 10 months ago

      4

      1. HVT
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Fingers crossed for laters Innsie, he owes us big time especially after overlooking a few prime candidates!

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Yep feeling pretty nervous atm HVT. I'd take a single goal I think.

          1. HVT
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Me too, due a peno!
            with 3 to go tonight a solid Chelsea win could see me with a nice green before Xmas, here's hoping!

            1. President John F. Keninnsie
              11 years, 10 months ago

              Yep same here! Good luck mate!

        2. Vardy Gras PBFC
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Talking Hazard captaining? Hope Stoke stay generous with their penalties.

          1. HVT
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Never mentioned his name PB 😉

            1. @ocprodigy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              11 years, 10 months ago

              I'm in this boat! Oscar & Costa to play too!

            2. Vardy Gras PBFC
              11 years, 10 months ago

              I'm aboard. Him (c), Costa and Ivanovic need to turn my gameweek around.

              Every time I break into the 10k, I get booted straight back out.

  18. Just A Wooden Spoon
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Love how many Yaya to silva or Rooney to rvp transfers are being talked about, surely people have better things to spend their transfers on than these or are people's teams that good?

    1. Holmes
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Teams are good 😉

    2. Eze Really?
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I was about to post the Ya Ya Silva tfr. Is it not a sideways move? I can do the other also, but RVP is poor ATM.

    3. Darnell
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yes well Toure is on 4 yellow cards so grow a pair mate and have a critical eye. Idiot

      1. Whazza
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Harsh

      2. Just A Wooden Spoon
        11 years, 10 months ago

        😆 go jump in front of a bus, douche.

    4. Black Knights
      11 years, 10 months ago

      People are ridiculously short sighted. If Demichelis scored this weekend, people would be swapping Zab or Clichy for him.

      The non-knee jerk amongst us can see they're very sideways. Rooney to RVP less so, as Rooney is now affectively a midfielder, but people love chasing points ultimately.

  19. rdamjan
    11 years, 10 months ago

    What do you think about Krul to Pantilimon?

    I have Foster...

    1. Holmes
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Sounds good, no other issues I assume?

    2. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Not so sure. Sunderland fixtures dry up after hull

  20. Twelve years a slave
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Why are people getting Sterling?
    Look at his fantasy scores for the last ten or so weeks, hes done nothing

    1. A.T
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Good fixtures and playing oop persuaded me.

    2. John t penguin
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Best left back in the country

    3. Sarri-ball
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'm also thinking sterling.

      Think fact great fixures and he playing through middle

      1. La Roja
        11 years, 10 months ago

        ...for 45 minutes. then a left wing back

        1. Valar(Keith)
          11 years, 10 months ago

          People are overhypin the lwb bit. Doubt we ll see him play in that position much at all this season. That was a throw 3 strikers on panic change moment yesterday

    4. HVT
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Agree,much better performing options out there.

    5. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      playing a false #9

    6. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      11 years, 10 months ago

      He seems to be turning the corner.

      OOP and awesome fixtures

      He will explode at any moment.

    7. HVT
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'm just loling at the amount of optimism here in regards to Raheem, for me untill Liverpool get a striker to actually convert his efforts he's a no go zone.

  21. VADAI
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Clichy + Baines --> Zaba + Terry/Azpi for free?

    I already have Yaya, Haz and Costa..

    1. Holmes
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Clichy could start this week. So keep him. Baines to Terry/Azpi is ok

      1. VADAI
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Same thought... Will do.. Thanks...

    2. HVT
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yea looks good.

      1. VADAI
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks.. Clichy starting was a niggling doubt.. But will go ahead probably..

        1. HVT
          11 years, 10 months ago

          You knew what you bought, need a solid back 5 with him in there.
          Should start next game tho.

          1. VADAI
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Actually it is pretty weak, with Wisdom, Hutton and Duff. Saved a transfer, purely to bolster defence before Boxing

    3. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Good moves. Do you have enough money to hold Baines another week and do something like Clichy->Azpi?

      1. VADAI
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I am just missing both Azpi and Terry if I do that, by 0.1m.. Along with Baines, yes I stand a chance...

  22. andres
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I probably should save or take the chance and sell moore?

    Forster (mccarthy)
    Zab azpi naylor chambers (moore)
    Yaya alexis hazard (downing boyd)
    Bony austin costa
    1ft, 1.0.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'd save mate

      1. andres
        11 years, 10 months ago

        thanks, bench downing over austin?

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah gunners D has been leaky and he is in cracking form

        2. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Over Xmas rotations I would sell Moore when you have the 2fts though

    2. Baggers
      11 years, 10 months ago

      See what happens with Azpi tonight, if he's benched again it may be worth swapping him out

      1. andres
        11 years, 10 months ago

        yeah, tonight might impact obviously.. azpi being benched and/or injuries

    3. Eze Really?
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Why not Costa/Kane Boyd/Silva for 4pt hit?

  23. Little Frank
    11 years, 10 months ago

    If Siggy isn't declared fit who to replace him with:
    a) Silva
    b) Di Maria

    Have Yaya but no United coverage if that makes any difference (which it shouldn't really)

    1. andres
      11 years, 10 months ago

      a

    2. HVT
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Silva just edges it for me

    3. Baggers
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'd jump on Silva, don't trust Utd at the moment and next 3 fixtures are really good for City. Cazorla or Eriksen seem to be common on here too if you don't have those

      1. Little Frank
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, I'm leaning towards Silva based purely on fixtures. Have Sanchez and Kane which I think is sufficient Arsenal and Spurs coverage.

  24. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I am thinking of keeping this until Friday's games. Then Rooney and Siggy -----> Di Maria and Austin. Sound good?

    -------------------------------Pants---------------------------

    -----------------Baines - Clichy - Chambers---------

    -------Sanchez - Hazard (C) - Yaya - Siggy------

    ---------------Rooney - Costa - Kane-------------------

    Subs: Hutton - Boyd - Wisdom

    1. andres
      11 years, 10 months ago

      ADM or Silva maybe

    2. Mr Blue
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Nice moves imo... Just not sure about Siggy this gw, any news on him?
      I might transfer him out, but there are only a few options I can afford so not sure...

    repost:

    Siggy/Rooney/Chambers -> Bony/ Sterling/ Debuchy (-8)

    Or wait with Chambers -> Debuchy?

    1. Mr Blue
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Chambers - Debuchy is not needed imo... Kos is not back and Chambers will play.
      Tbh, I dont like Sterling, but I guess he could explode if he finds form

      1. Tshelby
        11 years, 10 months ago

        He got some really nice fixtures coming

          I know that, but he´s just.. meeh

            Rather siggy then sterling then? Or eriksen?

    Worst game week ever for me, something like 21 points, with 3 Chelsea players to come in, so tempted to rip my team up but January WC is so close.

    Baines owners, what's the verdict?

    1. Mr Blue
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Stay away from the WC... U will soon get one any way...
      Im keeping Baines, not too happy about it.. but transfer him out when they play STO? Naah...

      1. HamezMace
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Baines to Zabaleta looks obvious to me

        1. Mr Blue
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Baines will play STO and new in the next 2.
          Zab could play wba and bench... so not that obvious for me.

          1. HamezMace
            11 years, 10 months ago

            He's done nothing for the last 6 weeks, against similar teams

            Erriksen to sterling or save ft?

    2. citizen_kane
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Baines -> Zabaleta seems like the most obvious move in the whole world atm.

  29. citizen_kane

    Are people doing Yaya -> Silva? Haven't considered it yet. Surely risky, no?

    I mean, it's Yaya. Come on.

    1. Moin

      haven't seen many people do this move..they are considering a Silva--Yaya Double up!

      What?

    3. Mr Blue
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I regret choosing Yaya over Silva tbh, but no point in doing that sideway transfer now.
