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.

  1. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Siggy & Sakho to;

    A Silva & Kane

    Or

    B Milner/Lampard & Giroud

    1. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A A A A

    2. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      A = no brainer

  2. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I wonder which top players will be dropped.... Only have 2 subs who might play, not sure if Duff is fit.

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

      Duff is fooked

      Get rid for somebody who plays

      1. Every Dog Has Its Day
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Already done Baines -> Zab

  3. Camp No No
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Silva should not need much rest right now, rather he should get some match fitness, right?

  4. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Any advice on this lot?

    1FT - 0.4 itb

    Guzan
    Clyne - Azpilicueta - Jagielka
    Hazard - Sanchez - Downing - Siggy
    Costa - RvP - Austin

    Gilks -- Marney - Dummett - Kelly

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

      I wouldn't mind saving a transfer there. Could drop Siggy, but no-one in that price bracket you want. I'd downgrade Jags, Everton cant keep a cleanie

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Normally jags would be the first to go after that performance, but home fixture against Stoke I think I have to keep

  5. A.
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Have exactly the right cash in the bank for Davis to Cazorla. Fate?

    Gives me a very strong front 8 and lets me bench Downing/Austin this week. Would give quite a benching dilemma next week though.

    Other options include Lukaku to Rooney or Baines and Davis to Zab and Silva for a -4

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd sell lukaku, but wouldn't go near rooney

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

        My other strikers are Bony and Austin, none really stands out to bring in for Lukaku, unless i go uber-cheap and bring in Kane.
        Brought in Lukaku for Aguero as a punt vs QPR, my options if dropping him are anyone except RVP.
        West Ham's next two fixtures are tough, so i'm avoiding Sakho/Carroll for now. Don't want Benteke or Cisse, so my options are Rooney, Falcao, Giroud or Kane. None look brilliant.

    2. Chippo, Hadji, Aloisi.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Baines and Davis to zab and silva.

  6. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    #1 has quite a big lead

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He does , Austin captain as well

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Although it's all very close this year , movement is very possible I think

        1. Back on the horse
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          yeah, and Christmas has a knack of turning it all to sh1t too 🙂

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

      On you ?

      1. Back on the horse
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        on #2 (and me)

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          There is so far to go .and I have an ace up my sleeve ( literally )

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

      I'll get him...

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

    Wow Mertesacker ducking out of crosses. 😯

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Team ducked out of playing

      Awful stuff today

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He is awful.

      Worst centre backs in the league belong to Arsenal and Pool - Mertesacker and Lovren

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

        It really is strange.

        They were probably two of the best last season.

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Lovren was half decent because of the protection provided by Wanyama and Schneiderlin

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

            And Fonte's leadership of the back 4

        2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          it's because they have a consistent pairing in defence at southampton and at arsenal

          lovren is being asked to play with 4 cb's, with skrtel, with toure and all sorts. Awful management

          Mert on the other hand has lost kosc through injury, hard to build a partnership with a player when they keep getting injured - chambers, monreal, debuchy

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

            Fully agree tbh. The same applies for United and Smalling and Jones etc...

            Shows how systems really can gloss playing ability.

  8. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    "Got told at the match, Mignolet won't play for #LFC again. If thats the case, we HAVE to sign a new Keeper in January, Jones not good enough"

    From @Jay_78_ really reliable fella

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

      bit harsh, they made investment in his potential. Only a young GK

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Just stating the obvious

      Both are not PL standard

    3. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Pepe Reina ftw

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Better than Mignolet but he's useless too

  9. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Expected risers and fallers -

    Risers - Kane

    Fallers - Mutch

  10. He Kane He Saw He Conquered
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Guys im dropping like a stone from top 5k to top 20k

    What immediate surgery is needed?

    Panti (Green)
    Chambers B.Davies Naylor (Duff, Bartley)
    Sanchez Hazard Yaya Siggy (Boyd)
    RVP Costa Kane

    i know defence isnt great but can i hold strong this week? 0.0 ITB and 1 FT

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez, Sigurdsson and Boyd all past sell-by, and you don't have Austin.

      1. He Kane He Saw He Conquered
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        cheers mate, any obv choice this week though. sanchez obv should be left as i dont wanna hit and QPR home is self explanatory.

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

          rvp to austin/rooney, chambers to zaba

          1. He Kane He Saw He Conquered
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            not for a hit this week though. save then next week?

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

              I'd hit

        2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Well, you see, there you go again.

          Who did you get in already?

          1. He Kane He Saw He Conquered
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            i didnt get anyone in this week but have only 1 FT. hence not wanting to hit. just curious if any obvious free changes or 2 week plan changes

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

        How is Boyd past his sell by date?

        He is the Spam you put on the shelf in case of emergency. And sometimes it tastes good...

  11. Can’t beat em so&hell…
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I'm in a mess... Can anyone help with some advice?

    De gea - given

    Clichy - chambers - azpil - wisdom - dummett

    Siggy - Sanchez - fab - wanyama - nasri

    Costa - lukaku - Kane

    I'm thinking clichy is now too much of a rotation? I want to get on Austin and downing but am I too late?

    1ft and 3.4 m

  12. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Own Hart, Yaya and no 'Pool players

    A) Siggy and Baines -> Sterling and Demichelis / Clichy (-4)
    B) Siggy and Baines -> Silva and 5.5m def (-4)
    C) Save FT

    Many thanks for any advice 🙂

    2FTs, £5.7m itb.

    I want to take out two of Siggy, Downing, Oscar and Bony.
    I want to bring in two of Di Maria, Silva, Yaya and Falcao.
    (Focused on players who'll play and deliver during Christmas)

    Who would you bring in? If poss why? Thanks guys.

    1. Coaly
      • 13 Years

    Ok to save this week?

      Yeah man, good to go.

  15. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Struggling to pick a Chamberlain replacement

    - Nasri
    - Sterling
    - Di Maria

    I was set on Sterling becasue of the fixtures but he's still only 20 and not a very good finisher. He didn't show much today to convince me to get him.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nasri is a no.
      ADM - worry is the minutes he'll play in a few days
      Sterling - looks like it'll take him lots of chances to score

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly. None of them are standing out. I would be tempted by Cazorla but Arsenal are soo hit and miss and we have some difficult games coming up.

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Your tables favour Sterling, but his conversion rate is soo poor.

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I disagree. I am looking to bring him in. Chose Silva over him for monetary reasons.

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

            Doosra if I was to upgrade Siggy who would you pick from Cazorla, Sterling and Silva?

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Cazorla. 🙂

              1. RSe

      Coutinho, its a punt but a tastey one.

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Never again.

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

    Benteke or Giroud?
    Phil Jones or Debuchy?

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

      giroud jones

  17. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Play Heaton this week or use a FT to do Elliot -> Pantilimon? No other pressing transfers..

  18. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What are the chances of Courtois playing tomorrow?

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

      30%

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

        Excellent. Was actually hoping for lower, but I'll take it

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

        Lol

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

      very high I would say

  19. Evans
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I suspect sanchez will be rested for the QPR game

    He looked shattered today

    1. sy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I can see that happening with two games coming up quickly. Plus he is used to a winter break.

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

      Yep

  20. Triple J
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who you guys think will play next game. Kolarov or Clichy. Hard to say, I know. But will Kolarov be the obvious candidate with his attacking style?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      probably clichy

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Clichy is my bet if fit

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

      I think the next 3 will be Clichy, Kolarov Clichy.

    4. Zod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd expect Kolarov to start two of the next three.

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

        you'll be disappointed if an owner

    5. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Why bother? Did you see Zabaleta? He's more in the box than Ivan!

        1. Triple J
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Not a member 🙁

      1. Triple J
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Zabaleta the best option then? No risk for a rest? I love Kolarov though. Have Clichy but want some safe Man City cover over the festives.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Should be.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            A bit, but couldn't afford Zab and knew rotation would be a risk. When Clichy plays he often gets bonus.

            Is the proposed -4 with it?

            1. Jimjam

      Is Bony > Giroud stupid?

      I know Swans are at home but Arsenal have an easier fixture and Bony leaves soon.

        I think it's a great shout. I reckon sanchez could be rested and giroud is a great differential cpt option this week.
