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.

      It's fine, move on.

    2. FPL Blow-In

      Nice

    Lukaku ---> Benteke or Giroud? (For free)

    1. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Benteke. Only owned by 1.0% of people. Good captain choice.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Giroud for me. Rare that Benteke scores more than 1 goal when he does score.

    3. Vasily
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I have Lulalu and will do Benteke, but i'm thinking of waiting after this GW. No?

  4. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I'm worried my team is looking deceptively good and I'm about to enter free fall.

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      There are some odd fixtures coming up! Don't be top confident haha

      1. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I mean the opposite! Sanchez, Siggy etc

        1. Oz lotto
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Oh right! Yeah of course

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I hate it when I'm very happy with my team. Easy to be disappointed then ha

  5. joe259
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    RMT guys

    Guzan
    Zabaleta, Azpili, Taylor
    Hazard, Fab, Silva, ADM, Sanchez
    Austin, Kane

    Hamer, Bony, Hutton, Duff

    When is Bony leaving for African Cup? Who would I bring in for Bony?
    Suggestions? Any way to improve the team? i know my forward sucks

    1. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It looks like a great team to me - I would do Giroud or Benteke at the same amount of money. Your mid's look perfect.

  6. Pea Soup
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I have Foster and Gilks at the moment.

    Do you think it's worth taking a hit to do Gilks to Pantilimon?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No

    2. t3mme
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      just no

  7. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Was there any news on Sigurdssons injury yet? Trying to decide if it's worth transferring him out for -4?

  8. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What move would you make this week?

    Hart 4.0
    Demichelis, Ivan, Baines, Hutton, duff
    Sanchez, hazard, eriksen, Downing, Boyd
    Sakho, bony, Costa

    I'm thinking Eriksen to Silva to get some attacking city points. He'll be a false 9 until January wildcard...
    Then do sakho to Austin next week

    Do you guys think they are good moves?

  9. Demel
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I can only do this transfer tonight (because of priçe rises).

    Good moves?

    Yaya & Siggy > Eriksen & Silva

    1. Demel
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Oh and its for -4

    2. t3mme
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      i don't think so

    3. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No

    4. Baby Cuties
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      But none of them are rising or falling according to fiso. Or am I/fiso mistaken?

      1. Demel
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Ah you are right.

    5. Vasily
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Why would you sell Yaya? He's also on pens.

      1. Demel
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Silva looked a lot more threatening and Eriksen looks an almost must own player. I think I might just wait a gameweek and swap out Baines to raise the cash to bring in Eriksen.

        1. Vasily
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I agree with Silva but keep Yaya as well - i would double on city and keep both Yaya and Silva if you can.

          1. Demel
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I already have Demechellis, Clichy and Yaya.

            1. Vasily
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Hmm.. That changes it.. I would sell Clichy as it's more likely for Kolarov to play. At best 50-50

        2. Vasily
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          regarding Eriksen I don't agree.. I have Alexis, Hazard, Yaya, Oscar, Boyd and I might do Oscar > Silva after this week.

  10. RSe
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    One goal for Haz tomorrow please. Make my non Austin captain choice just that little bit easier to live with....

  11. callanderlg
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    is coutinho likely to get 90 minutes from now on ?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If you're thinking about getting him, look at the shots he had today. That should convince you not to 😉

  12. the axolotl
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    how the hell did Southampton not get a peno for jags kicking long. one of the worst decisions i've ever seen. lucky it didn't matter to result

  13. cjw176
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is it worth doing siggy to downing for free even though they play Chelsea?

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nope

    2. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      i'm waiting a week

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Wait for news on Siggy but for the moment no.

    4. cjw176

      Cheers guys

      How much have you

  14. karankachiefs
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Heaton
    Clichy Chambers Azpil
    Yaya Hazard (c) Sanchez Siggy
    Austin RvP Bony

    Wisdom Hutton Marney

    0.5 itb 1FT

    At a loss for transfers to make. any suggestions?

    1. cjw176
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe lose siggy if he's injured

      1. karankachiefs
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Replacement? Not many good options in that price range

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Or go Milner as a punt

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Or Lamps. Risky with rotation though

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd hold for now.

  15. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What changes are needed? 1 FT and 0.8 ITB

    Guzan
    Baines - Apzi - Zabaleta
    Hazard - Sanchez - Downing - Siggy
    Rooney - Costa - Austin

    Myhil - Boyd - N.Taylor - Moore

    1. AH 🙂
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      exact same team as mine , but i have bony for costa and only have .7 ITB ffs

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I was lucky enough to jump on the price rises at the right times

    2. VougieDipond
      • 13 Years

      save ft easy

      1. JAC THE CAT

        Cheers

  16. The Nuttmxn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Best Transfer in the long term for my side?

    Guzan (Elliott)
    Zabaleta, Bertrand, Azpil (Naylor, Dawson)
    Sanchez, Boyd, Downing, Hazard (Cork)
    RVP, Austin, Costa

    1FT, 0.4itb

    Was thinking of doing a boring move of my 5th mid to a playing one like Sanchez of Villa to cover any rested players but that seems awful.

    1. joinho
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Don't need to think long term just till jan wc and with that in mind downgrade Costa to Kane/Bony and upgrade Boyd to Silva/Yaya

      1. The Nuttmxn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Want to WC the last possible week.

  17. MikeTheYid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If I buy Sterling and ADM for Yaya and Barkley I would have this team

    Foster
    Baines Azpi Clichy (Dummet Bartley)
    ADM Sterling Sigg Hazard Eriksen
    Costa Giroud (Kane)

    Next round my move would be:
    Giroud & Sigg -> Austin & Silva (-4)

    With the fixtures in mind, would this be an alright move?

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      With the fixtures in mind, as you say, I would not transfer out Yaya!

      1. MikeTheYid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I get your point, but WBA away ain't very easy. Silva in next round for Burnley and Sunderland..
        Also, Yaya is only a yellow card away from suspension.

  18. Rossamous
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is the "never take a hit for a defender rule" justified if the player you're bringing in is Zabaleta this week? He'll score goals, of that I have no doubt.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      There are no rules.

      I took out Clyne and Bertand for a -8 a few weeks ago, and that payed me back instantly.

    2. VougieDipond
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      bookies don't agree, he is 6/1 to score anytime and 70/1 for 2 or more

      1. Rossamous
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        for the next three games though..

        1. VougieDipond
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          might not play them all, not worth a hit imo

          1. Rossamous
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            True.

    3. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No, the only time you take a hit for a defender is when you can't start 3, then it's like a -2.

    4. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Rubbish rule at the best of times.

  19. Seb Wassell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Downing (che)
    or
    Bertrand (cry) ?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Bertie

      1. Seb Wassell
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Tempted! Feels unusual backing a defender over a midfielder though.

      2. Rossamous
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Playing LM/LW perhaps

        1. Seb Wassell
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          That is a good point.

          1. Fantasy Gold
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            He has CS potential and nearly scored against Everton.

            Downing will be pinned down doing defensive duties.

            Easy decision playing Bertie imho

            1. Seb Wassell
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              I've altered next week's lineup just now with all this in mind. My thanks.

              1. Fantasy Gold
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                No problem 🙂

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Bertie.

    3. RSe
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Same dilemma with Clyne. Think gonna leave Downing out for a week.

    4. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Betrand it would seem to be!

  20. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Any help would be really appreciated. Literally at my wit's end on how to use my FT...

    Begovic McCarthy
    Baines Azpi Clyne Naylor (Moore)
    Hazard Siggy Yaya (Downing, Boyd)
    Costa Bony Benteke

    1.5m itb, 1 FT. Maybe Clyne > Zab? Or take a hit to get ADM?

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd be happy with Clyne > Zabaleta myself. Wouldn't be the worst thing saving it however, giving you two much more quickly than usual and at a vital time.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        My midfield feels very light with doubts over Siggy and Downing having a crap fixture. Don't know how to remedy that though.

        Thanks

        1. Seb Wassell
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          All the reports I've heard myself suggest Siggy was only just ruled out of this weekend, I think he has a good chance of a quick turn around and a start on 26th. You have bench cover if the worst happens, but perhaps Siggy > Sterling if the budget allows? If not maybe look for Milner for the short term,

          1. Seb Wassell
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Those being if Siggy is out.

            1. Fantasy Gold
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              thanks mate

    2. RSe
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm waiting for news on Siggy, hoping it was just precautionary. If fit id save.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        thanks

    3. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy to Liverpool player asap.

      1. Saint Domingo
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Which Liverpool player is that?

      2. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        This is bad advice. Tut

  21. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    My team:

    Guzan Foster
    Baines Azpi Dummett Hutton Moore
    Hazard Yaya Sanchez Downing Boyd
    Costa Austin Bony

    2FT / 0.2 ITB

    Foster/Baines/Downing --> 4.0/O'Shea/ADM, Yay or Nay?

  22. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Would you

    A. do Siggy to Silva and play Austin.
    B. do Boyd to Silva and go 352, bench Austin.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      B

    2. VougieDipond
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      B sounds good for insurance purposes or it could just be points on the bench. I would do A

    3. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Depends how long sigh is out for

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Sig*

      2. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Under the assumption that Siggy is likely to be okay for the Villa match, which would you do? Obviously if he's out I will do A

        1. Oz lotto
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          b for sure. It's what I'm likely to do!

    4. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      At this time of year I;d be tempted to say whichever gives you the stronger bench.

    5. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If you dont do A, your tv could get crushed. Monitor his price closely

        I sold Rooney for Giroud. Had Rooney captain and was painful watching the game

          • 11 Years

          Fair enough.

    This is my team

    Guzan
    Azpili, Zabaleta, Taylor
    Hazard, Fabregas, Sanchez, ADM, Silva
    Bony, Kane

    Hamer, Austin, Duff, Hutton

    Over the course of three weeks:
    1. Guzan to Forster
    2. Silva to Boyd
    3. Bony to Aguero (Bony will be off to African's Cup and hopefully Aguero would be fit by then)

    Any way to improve my team?

    Giroud or benteke?

    1. Barry Woj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I think I prefer Giroud purely because he plays for Arsenal.

    Hart
    Baines Ivan Chambers
    Haz Sanchez Siggy Downing
    Costa Lukaku Austin

    Elliot / Ameobi Wisdom Duff

    Good to save transfer this week or would you do Lukaku > Giroud / Benteke?
