We delve into the Gameweek 20 data this evening and serve up some of the most impressive numbers from New Year’s Day. QPR, Swansea, Aston Villa and Man City’s strikers arrive under the radar, whilst we also cast an analytical eye over in-form midfielders from Spurs, Leicester and West Brom.
-
Best defender for 1 week only?
-
*non CHE defender
(top post shame) -
Trippier
-
Don't fancy Charlie to notch against his old team? I'm thinking an ARS defender may be the way to go - first choice back 5 and a good record at home to STO. Who do you think is best from the 4, regardless of price? Mert?
-
I fancy stoke to score as well, but looking at Stokes def stats, meet could be a good choice for corners
-
Yeah, plus he just scored a couple of days ago (got the taste etc).
Stats wise, Debuchy looks the better call though I think. Despite his size he is also very good in the air.
-
-
-
-
terry or Az or Iv
-
just gave you Wc feedback on previous page
-
Cheers, meant to say non-CHE defender.
-
DOH
-
-
-
Cresswell
-
Away at Swansea? 😯
-
Baines 🙂
-
For attacking returns. Swans are poor at defending crosses and let fullbacks/wingers drift in often.
Debuchy isnt bad for 1 week either 🙂-
Debuchy good pick
-
Yeah, Debuchy is my current pick, cheers all
-
-
-
-
-
-
do i play ings kane or sterling?
-
Yikes, only 1?
That's tough. Probably Kane or Ings. -
Kane= en fuego
-
Ings is relegation bound, just saying.
-
So was Charlie Austin the year he was FPL top scorer.
-
-
-
Ings
-
Ings

Last chance to bote for my Scout Picks entry!
Oh and anything you really don't like about it suggest a possible solution if I'm selected I'll give it consideration.
We are the people.
Viva La Revolucion.-
Done, I like it
-
-
My team
-Hart--elliot--
-wisdom ---Hutton - Azpilicueta - zabaleta --clyne--
- Hazard - downing - sanchez -silva --Marney --
- Kane - Austin - rooney
2ft and 2.1 in the bank
Who to change? So hard-
hutton about to get killed by fix's
or is this not a WC? then wait a week.
jeez nice team pu Caz< Downing and save 1 FT-
This is my current team still both wild cards in hand not sure where to capitalize
-
-
keep the money and Aguero for Rooney in 3 gameweeks. Maybe hart to De Gea Azpi to Terry?
-
Maybe that's a good plan maybe rooney to costa or someone to Di Maria?
-
Yep. as long as you keep the kitty allowance for the upgrade. Might save you a wildcard and/or a hit.
-
Cheers
-
-
-
-
gd side hard to change,goalies could be well covered by Elliot to ddg if you want to go heavy,not much else to be done...
-
-
AorB?
A sanchez and kane
B eriksen and giroud-
A
-
A all day
-
-
A, by a space
-
A it is cheers lads...
-
-
Do we think Baines will drop to 7.1m anytime soon?
Currently on -79.0% on fplstatistics.-
but at home doubt it still on pens
-
Probably before this gameweek but I'm giving him till wc. Will pick up sooner or later surely
-
-
What to do with Baines?
A. Baines > Terry (double up on Chelsea def. until WC)
B. Baines > Skrtel
C. Keep until WC
Guzan Given
Baines Azpi Zaba Dummet Wisdom
Haz Sanchez Sterling Siggy Downing
Jovetic Kane Austin
1FT 2.7ITB-
See above 😉
-
thanks
-
-
not so bad to double CHE def's but it means you don't have 2 in the front 8?
LIV defense blows so no on Srktel ( can u believe spell check went off?)
Fix things up top and leave Baines alone he is at home and still on pens.
get Costa or Fab don't stick, but look elsewhere than to Baines. IMO GL-
Sterling to Fab?
i don't like Costa 😀
-
-
Baines will be up there at the end of season, trick is to manage the peaks and troughs....bit of a gamble (and he ain't cheap).
-
-
Is it worth having Foster with a rotational GKP if I already have Wisdom in my WC team?
-
My concerns are Pulis will obviously change the style of play but what if he drops existing defenders as part of his strategy?
-
don't double a team like WBA. South is the only viable double choice. (CHE is too loaded up in the 8).
-
This another reason to hold of on wc, will prob know Pulis best team by gw24
-
Thanks. And it may take time for Pulis' Def to settle in.
-
-
-
-
Which 2 to BENCH from this lot?
Terry (NEW)
Debuchy (STO)
Wisdom (HUL)
Zabaleta (eve)
Hutton (lei)
Probably the bottom 2 on fixtures, but Zaba does offer a bigger goal threat and Everton have been dire of late.-
Play zag, debauchee and terry
-
Wisdom Hutton. Top 2 unbenchable, Zab for attacking returns, not as if Pulis guarantees a cs. Hard choice though
-
Cheers. Think I agree, but the point below has me thinking it might make sense to remove Zaba from this equation
-
Can you bring Baines in and bench him though? He's not on my bench. Zero chance of cs BUT I'd be so peed of if he scores on my bench
-
I could bring him in, but wouldn't be benching if I did. Perhaps that makes more sense actually, gives me another freebie for next week (although no idea how I'd be using it!)
-
-
-
-
Zab and Hutton
-
-
Which is best?
A) Zabaleta -> Debuchy
B) Chambers -> Debuchy
If doing B then I can't get Baines (WBA) for free next week.
Hart, Elliot
Terry, Zaba, Wisdom, Hutton, Chambers-
B I wouldn't be rushing to recruit Baines
-
Only a 1 week punt before I WC in GW23, and he's actually got the highest project score of ALL players that week! 😯
If doing A my back 3 this week would be Terry, Debuchy, Wisdom
If doing B my back 3 this week would be Terry, Debuchy, Zaba
Does Zaba over Wisdom justify missing out on Baines next week?-
Good to know, I have him 🙂
If you set on Baines punt then ditch Zab, do you play him over Wisdom though? Just as tricky a decision-
Cheers. My decision this week is either:
A) Zaba -> Debuchy
B) Chambers -> Debuchy
If I do A) then I think my defence picks itself (Terry, Debuchy, Wisdom)
If I do B) then it's Zaba vs Wisdom for the 3rd spot, which probably goes to Zaba. Just not sure it's worth sacrificing not having Baines next week. Given how rubbish EVE look at the moment it just might be!
-
-
-
-
-
Anybody fancy Lampard or Milner?
-
loved Milner benched then a brace just now, but won't Lampard replace Yaya? either seem worth a punt. gl
-
Not really. Silva for me.
-
-
Is there any love for Ward-Prowse?
-
Nice alternative to Boyd
-
If guaranteed starts, he is an excellent choice. I'm not sure he is though.
-
What's hos game time now? I had him first couple of weeks and he ended up being benched. Mane injury secure his mins now?
-
-
Hey guys, the last couple of weeks havn’t been spectacular for me points wise does anyone have any suggestions where to improve?
Forster / Mannone
Clichy / Azpi / NTaylor / Bertrand / Wisdom
Sanchez / Eriksen / Siggy / Fabregas / Boyd
Rooney / Costa / Austin-
2FT 0.8 in the bank
-
go mini -4 WC and...
damn looks like a good team.
(was gonna say switch out 3).
get Cazorla now he's on pens and the fix's
so get Caz and AdM and some rubbish math hurts don't care to do my own. GL
-
-
Decent team could do Mannone to Pants or take a punt on Ospina,
-
Jury out on Rooney. Clichy rotation threat but could have Man U defender as cover if he plays home games. Slight preference on Chadli and costs less than Eriksen. Spare cash for Aguero in 3 gameweeks.
-
hasn't Clichy been to in form to have Kol get those mins?
or is he still only on pitch for tough matches?-
Not Really, Kolorov more forward thinking and Clichy a better defender. If you look at game time, especially last year, it's a perfect rotation.
-

#repost from last night
GW21 side (-4)
Heaton (Forster)
Zab, Creswell, Clichy (Hutton, Clyne)
Sanchez, Fab, Haz (c), Erikson (Downing)
Costa (vc), Austin, Kane
Currently thinking Zab & Erikson > Wisdom & ADM (-4) for GW22 or now (-12)?-
play the WC
-
Saving till later, mainly Aguero return.
80pts clear in MLs so could afford the hits. -
Doing a -12 with wildcard available is a huge no no
-
It can wait till GW22 then. Have funds if ADM rises a couple of points. Cant see too much of a haul against Saints.
-
-
-
-
RMP(robable)T
Lloris
Terry, Debuchy, Zaba
Sanchez(c), Hazard(v), Silva, Eriksen
Costa, Austin, Kane
Elliot, Downing, Wisdom, Hutton-
Lloris staying?
Arsenal tight at the back?
Good side otherwise. Hutton and Wisdom good bench cover for Zab.
-
-
Who are the 2 best differencials to get for the next two gws to gain up some ranks?
-
If I was taking a 2 week punt, Ings would be right up there
-
Maybe Benteke too.
But obviously, by their nature, punts aren't guaranteed to work. -
Would you do either of kane/austin -> Ings?
I can shift austin as am intending not to keep him when i wc, but the question is would it be a good idea?-
I wouldn't.
But you're looking for punts, not me 😀-
Actually am not sure about ADM starting... otherwise i would have gone for Yaya + Eriksen -> Adm + Chadli..
Thinking abt Austin -> Jovetic though..
-
-
-
-
Can take a flyer on Rose, Ings and Crouch/Walters.
-
I like Rose for 2 weeks
-
i have decided to stick with Rose. A flyer admittedly.
-
-
-
-
Debuchy: 9 starts, 0 clean sheets.
Does he really warrant a bandwagon?-
nope
-
I saw his name mentioned several times so I checked his stats. Repulsive!
-
Do you think im better off removing him
-
his stats are not that bad.
Last 4 GWs (bearing in mind we've played LIV, WHU and SOT all away in that period):
Debuchy is:
6th in the ICT ranking
2nd for goal attempts
3rd for goal attempts in the box
of all defenders
His creativity does need some work though
-
-
-
nope dropped Costa to get Azpi and drop Deb or Gibbs for WC.
-
When you put it like that, it doesn't look good.
But, they were tricky fixtures in the main and we didn't have our first choice back 4 for most of them.
And he poses a very decent attacking threat.
And we now have good fixtures
(and breathe) -
No but seems a lot seem to think he will get a cs V Stoke,
Maybe a def punt pre Wc? -
But he does look threatening
-
-
If you had to get rid of 1 who would u drop,
Hart
Or
Zab-
Both 😯
But Hart first, I guess -
hart
-
Thanks
-
hart
-
Hart. Zab a goal threat.
-
-
No replies previously, asking again. Pick one of the following:
1) Boyd
2) Clark (Already playing Hutton)
3) Eriksen - 4-
1
-
2
-
3 it is then 🙂
-
I think your q lacks clarity and hence lack of replies,
I'm not sure what your asking?-
Really? I would think it is straight forward.
Start either Boyd, Clark or Eriksen (-4 for I'll have to transfer him in)-
No
Could be start
Could be bench
And then a -4 in there as well.
1 - for me Boyd deserves his start,
No need for Clark with Huttinhio in there
Chadli effects Eriksens points negatively at the moment do no way of you need a hit.
-
-
-
1
-
-
Morning lads who to bench?
1-Austin (burnley)
2- Siggy (WHAM)
3- Sterling (sun)
Thanks.-
Wow. Benching headache.
-
Yea and I got it so wrong last week eh em!
Any help Tony?-
I probably would never bench any of those guys tbh HvT so I can't pick.
-
🙁
If I added Silva into the mix Tony as stated below?
-
-
-
-
2
-
Do you feel Siggys returns will deteriorate with Bony gone Patty?
-
I don't think so. Gomis will be up for it.
-
This. Gomis is a good striker.
-
Plus he still has hi deadly setpieces in his locker. He aint going nowhere from my team.
-
Even in Wc Chris?
-
Yeah, he stays. As will Bertrand.
-
-
lol
-
Reported
-
Fair enough I was set on losing in Wc for Adm, I bought Bertie ages ago @5m and regretting that move now.
-
-
-
-
-
this and siggy is well rested
West Ham still have to play tonight!
-
-
no he's on restarts
not getting pts in the run of play all the time. gl -
No other options that are any better
-
-
I'd bench Austin by a mile.
Wouldn't even consider Sterling and hammers have lost Alex Song, Siggy will have opportunities-
but WH has Amal, Noble and Nolan to step up
Anyway Swansea also lost Ki
-
-
-
Siggy, but you know he will score or assist.
-
Siggurdsson.
-
tougn one. 2 or 1
-
Thanks all maybe with those responses I could have thrown Silva in there as an option too, other mids are Haz/Sanchez and other forwards are Costa/Kane.
Would Silva be droppable???-
Not me. First Kun, now Yaya is gone, extra burden for him and I like it..
-
-
Siggy
-
-
Would you do.. 2ft
A. Hart and downing to foster and Di maria
B. Zab and downing to debuchy and Di maria
C. Rooney and azpi to costa and terry ( have haz but no united coverage then)
D. Other
Thanks-
do get MU but not sure you have it dialed what else do you have?
-
Sorry do u mean rest of team or other transfer options?
-
-
Not sure I'd want ADM this week. He may not start and Southampton are looking good again, especially defensively.
-
-
Wonder if big duncan can outmuscle the beast akinfenwa 🙂
-
No problem 😀
-
-
Who to bench?
1. Downing
2. Kane-
def 1.
-
Thanks!
-
-
Downing
-
Thanks
-
-
Never bench kane
-
That's universal then.
-
1. fwiw I'm benching Downing and playing Kane & Austin.
-
*tears* *tears* 😀
-
should've done it last week and played Sakho instead.
-
-
-
-
Need to catch up with my ML leader (30 points) and was thinking Berahino or Gomis for a 1 - 2 week punt? Crazy?
Berahino played well in the FA but his not very happy about playing for WBA. Gomis, not that Bony is away, should be given a full 90 min, but doesnt look as threatning as Bera.. Thoughts?-
maybe Gomis at home I think he's on pens too.
-
Too early to be thinking about catch up.
30pts is shie all.-
absolutely
-
True but this the time to punt on a differential then wc
-
I'd prefer Ings.
-
-
-
Berating but only if free transfer
-
*Berahino
-
-
Berahino
-
I think Siggy and Gomis will share pens now that Bony is away. Its never to early to think about catching up. Thanks for your opinions!
-
siggy has never taken a pen
-
however a shared pen that I'd pay to see. cheers
-
He's taken them at international level.
-
He's taken them for Iceland, hard to know who'll be favoured between him and Gomis but if I had to guess I'd say Gomis.
-
-
-
-
With the top five midfielders outscoring all the strikers bar one. Is it now time to fully adopt the 3/5/2 format?
-
si
-
Not necessarily. Sturridge could keep the 3-4-3 alive.
-
so Sturridge is alive?
-
Expected back soon by all accounts.
-
If that's the case ignore everything i just said.
-
-
-
See over next few weeks if worth decimating your side to accommodate Aguero and Sturridge.
-
Yes he could but he's not playing.
-
-
Possibly but there is such good value in the cheap forwards - look what happens when you bench the likes of Kane.
-
I'm suggesting 1 bench player like Zamora. 4.2 that you never play. No different to a 5th mid that you never play. We've all learnt what happens when you bench a Kane!
The top five mids have out scored every striker apart from Aguero. Surely that indicates that more points are to be made from a solid 5 playing midfield? Is it not?
-
-
This has been possible for a long time with the advent of Kane and Austin,
Only problem is who to bench!!!!!!-
I'm only suggesting have one of those in the team. And then bench fodder like Zamora. No point giving yourself a headache each week.
-
-
-
Just dawned on me,
Who's on penos now for Swansea?
Siggy??-
Gomis
-
Thanks lads pity!
🙁
-
-
Gomis
-
-
Best defensive pairings ? Bur/Sun and Stk/Wba....any more ?
-
West Ham/Swansea?
-
mmm..not as good as it was. I think I missed that boat.
-
-
Arsenal Spurs with mid priced pairings. Could be classed as a waste.
-
AVL-STK imo 🙂
-
-
Who do we think is likely to score the most points over the next four gameweeks?:
Austin v bur MUN sto SOT
Ings v QPR CPL sun WBA
Three weeks ago, no contest. Now, a bit closer.-
Not really. Austin.
-
Ta. I shouldn't really whisky and FPL.
-
Guys help needed plz i have activated W/c and i need to stop now as i am going mad. so this as far as i can see looks ok.
Forster(Pantilimon)
Terry Hutton Cresswell(Bertrand)(Van Aaholt)
Carzola Henderson Hazzard Di Maria Silva
Jovetic Kane Rooney.
1.0 in bank and a dilema of a bench plz help.-
Cresswells upcoming fixtures suck (wba def to rotate into hutton)
Probably choose 4 from 5 mids and 1 for the bench (can't look past sanchez surely?
Get ready to make room fro kun in a few weeks- he will be essential. Jovetic won't play much then imo
-
-
-
-
I can't wait any longer - will be a repost - sorry. Well, I wasn't doing this, this week. But there are several howlers, so I have chucked in something else:
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/01/05/the-scout-picks-community-champion-vote-gameweek-21/?hc_page=2#hc_comment_9402298
Please vote early and often. Half an hour to go. 🙂-
Skrtel over Cresswell?
-
Yep. I am playing both.
-
-
-
A. Foster + Naylor
B. de Gea + Wisdom
