Our Sunday delve into the members data arrives once again this evening. We cast an analytical eye over Tottenham’s goalscoring playmaker, Palace’s in-form frontman and the Magpies’ flourishing Frenchman, whilst the worrying form of Villa’s misfiring target man and United’s skipper give cause for concern.

    Anyone think Bellerin is nailed on for Arsenal? Would love a 4.4 route into the Arsenal backline.

      He's not. Dimples.

      I've taken a risk with him, Cameron out.

      I'm thinking this. Only challenge from Chambers until Debuchy returns?

    Bit of a transfer dilemma for me. Want to ditch Siggy but have no idea who to swap him for. Already have Sanchez, Haz and Downing. Chadli would be the sensible option but tough fixtures are incoming. Who would you buy? Have 0.7 in the bank.

    Well...anyone else feeling the desolation? I don't think there is a worse feeling when your WC team does sooo much worse than what you had.

    Sold downing for Haz and costa for Kun. Not real happy but it's the end of the season that counts right?

  8. Zasa

    Non-member here, curious, just how big are these numbers?
    From a scale of 1-10, ten being a big numbers, would you consider them an 8?

      11 years, 1 month ago

      Well 36 is the biggest number there but they've added a few numbers together. It's still not very big though. I went to the University of Numbers and there are much bigger numbers out there. They let me see some old numbers that were bigger than 1,000,000,000,000.

        36 is quite the number, quite huge if I must say so myself.
        UoN? The biggest number I've seen is 46, and that's my ex's shoe size.

        1. Woy of the Wovers

          Did you ever try adding the size of left shoe and right shoe together?

            I never found an opportune time to do such a thing, she left her shoe at my house. The other one, well, let's say it's in a better place now

    RMWCT. I'm happy to wait another week or two to before potentially swapping Cost for Aguero.

    Foster - Myhill
    Terry - Bertrand - Hutton - PvA - Wasilewski
    Sanchez - Hazard - Silva - Cazorla - Elia
    Costa - Kane - Austin

    £0.7 ITB.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I like it except for Silva and austin

      1. MadnessMahn
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling or Eriksen over Silva perhaps?

  10. the axolotl
    • 14 Years

    11 touches in the box by Jesus Navas!

    this irks me a little, because all of those touches were brutal. never saw a player get in so many good positions but consistently not beat the 1st defender with cross

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It boggles my mind how Jesus Navas not only continues to get starts for City but how he is even on a club of that size.

      1. the axolotl
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        agreed. ok, he's a good player, but there's no way mourinho would have him in his team. good not great

    2. Jonny Bananas
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      yep, he was truly awful.

      worse than antonia valencia for doing nothing with final ball - shocking player.

  11. Tomeister

    Do you giys reckon Spurs could beat arsenal or Man U to a top four spot?

    1. Rats Ass

      No.

  12. HellasLEAF

    Suggestions for this move. For a hit..

    Hazard to Elia

    one of Kane or Austin (probably Austin) to Costa.

    Already have Kun.

    Yay or nay

    1. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm considering the same move (Haz & Austin >> Elia & Costa). Also have Kun & Fab (and Kane).

      Keep thinking about Haz + Austin points versus Costa + Elia total points. Favours the former I fear so holding off.

      Costa could blank against City and Haz could get a brace at home.

      Costa + Kun up top is appealing though.

  14. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Did Rooney to Aguaro and Azpi to Chester last night to avoid price rises and falls. Now that Cester is crooked is it worth changing him Bellerin or somebody else for -8 hit. I'll be starting PVA, Trippier, Wisdom and Hutton is my 1st sub? Help please thanks?

  15. Think Tank
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Jan wc still intact. Great, eh? Problem is, since the start of Jan my team has finally started to fire - 78 last week, 78 this week so far (Baines to go.) I can't help but shake the feeling that wildcarding a winning formula will kill the upwards momentum I'm building - sure, I'm still without Kun but don't feel the need to secure his services atm.
    Anyone else in a similar boat? Solution just to wait it out?

    1. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Played mine last week, wish I hadn't. Would hold if you are happy. Play it in the last week available for giggles.

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely.

      Many managers, me included, built their teams with a GW 24 wildcard in mind. My team was good for GW 21 (75 pts), GW 22 (67 with Baines and Wisdom to come) and is good for GW 23 as well. I don't want Aguero till GW 24, today's blank was no surprise and neither will a blank at Chelsea be.

      There are players in my team I was unwilling to lose too soon - for example I wanted Downing this week and I want to keep Baines till GW 23. But they will go with my wildcard, around 50% of my squad will change. So the only reason to go early was (a) fear of Aguero scoring a lot of points in GW 22 and 23, which I discounted, and (b) fear of a runaway bandwagon lifting his price too far, which I decided to risk. He may be 0.4 higher when I bring him in than what he would have been but other players in my team who I am selling will have risen too. I will only be maybe 0.2 worse off. But a lot of points better off.

    Guess everyone has the same team..

    1. the axolotl

      um no. this is probably unusual

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years

      No. I don't have Aguero or Costa.

        Great rank, unlucky with Giroud but correct call to bench,

        Hopefully Baines does well tomorrow, for us both 🙂

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      It's fine but next transfer HAS to be a ManC player out.

  19. Lallana_

    Thoughts?

    Pantilimon
    Bertrand Wisdom Bellerin
    Sanchez Cazorla Hazard Di Maria
    Aguero Costa Kane

    Bench: Naylor, Baird, Lucas

    Cazorla does poorly? Oscar replaces him the week after.
    Di Maria does? Fabregas or Silva can.

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah that is pretty similar to what I am playing around with. The problem with yours that I don't like so much is the lack of depth. I think it's better to run with a more budget friendly fourth mid while also having a decent fifth mid and having a more balanced back five. We will need it soon when there are cancellations from Cup finals, DGWs, etc.

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Good point. I feel as though if that happens I'd be willing to use my transfers to compensate. I can't think of any cheaper midfielders who can do the job.

        Downing? Great price but poor fixtures. Liverpool, Southampton and Utd look more defensive.
        Chadli? Own Kane. Don't like the double Spurs with those fixtures.

        Anyone else like Puncheon or Elia is too punty for me. What do you think?

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I just got rid of Downing. Too bored having owned him for so long and I feel he has been marginalized somewhat lately for West Ham playing out wide and such things. Think he'll struggle for points in the tough fixtures they have to come. Chadli I would much prefer but I am not able to find the money for him. I am looking at Puncheon and Moses as my 4th and 5th at the moment. I may decide to ditch Terry for funds but I feel that not owning a Chelsea defender will just sting in the long run with pretty much everyone having a share with them so I am reluctant to do so.

          1. Lallana_
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            I honestly think Chelsea will continue this amazing defensive run but looking at my defenders I can see a lot of cleansheets still. Leaving the option for a triple Chelsea attack appeals to me. Costa and Fabregas look to keep up their form and Hazard seems like a must.

            Seems like a tough decision. Puncheon for the short-term seems fine but what's your plan B if that fails?

            I got Chadli and Downing right now and they've been great but I'm not keen on either at the moment. Tough calls to make when making a WC 🙁

            1. Walsh
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah I feel good about a lot of other "value" types in defense but I think that going with Terry, Soton, and three cheapies is the safest thing to do so I am leaning that way...but who knows what I'll be thinking as next GW comes closer.

              My plan B would be downgrading AdM and upgrading Puncheon...pretty simple. Depending on how Moses kicks on I might not even need to bother and I can switch him in to the fourth mid spot and start him week in week out. He was nails before he got hurt and if he can stay healthy this go around I have high hopes for him. He is so central to everything positive Stoke do and I like him.

              I think having Downing as a 5th mid is simply too expensive.

            2. Pepereina Pizza
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              what's the concern w/Chadli? The guy scores FPL points consistently.

  20. Gideons Rolling Another One

    Two Serious questions: Costa or Aguero? Or Both?

    1. Declan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Both

    2. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      both

    3. moz_1983
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Both. Aguero will absolutely score shedloads now that he's fit, Costa will continue to score practically every game. They'll drain you of cash but they're dead certs.

    4. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Both if you can, but will be at a price.

    5. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero first imo,
      I'd prefer to have both right now though

    6. Gideons Rolling Another One

    Hey guys. Would appreciate some advice on who to buy to fill the gap. Thanks in advance.

    Foster - Myhill
    Terry - Clyne - Hutton - PVA - 4.6

    A) Stoke (Wollscheid/Pieters)
    B) West Brom (Wisdom/Baird)
    C) Hull (Chester)
    D) Newcastle (Coloccini)
    E) Arsenal (Bellerin - dodgy though)

    1. Rats Ass
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Stoke have good fixtures. I studied their defence carefully last week then bought the wrong bloody player cos everyone else was. Now changed Cameron to Muniesa, who I should've bought in the first place!

    REPOST:

    Hey guys I'm going to play my WC next week, what move should I do this week?

    (A) Downing > Elia/Puncheon
    (B) Sigurdsson > Elia/Puncheon
    (C) Jenkinson > Koscielny
    (D) Courtois > Ospina/De Gea

    Current Team:

    Courtois
    Skrtel Baines Wisdom
    Hazard Boyd Sanchez(C) Siggy
    Kane Costa Rooney

    Subs: McCarthy, Downing Jenkinson Hutton

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Rooney > Giroud. or Jenkinson > Kosc. A and B are one-way transfers.

    2. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Rooney out. Work Aguero & ADM in. Courtios to a 5M keeper.

      Siggy out before downing.

  23. ameenkw
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I have 2 FT & 0.2 ITB ..

    Best 2 players for a one-week punt .. this is my team ..

    Foster/Panti
    Reid/Baines/Skrel/Duff/Hutton
    Hazard/Fabregas/Sterling/ADM/Downing
    Costa/Kane/Austin

    1. djenzio
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      you need Sanchez

    2. Arsenal Deli
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez over ADM or Fab, fund it by ridding Baines

  24. Recoba
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Any price change sites currently accurate with all the wc?

  25. The_FF_King

    Likely risers and fallers tonight chaps?

  26. bazrah99
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Have 7.6m for a mid: Puncheon, Elia, Downing, Henderson or Siggy?

    1. Arsenal Deli
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I like Puncheon at the minute but Downing is consistent

      1. bazrah99
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Actually, Downing's fixtures are terrible so might rule him out.

  27. Arsenal Deli
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Ospina at £4.8m looking good. Szczesny is a clown and until Ospina does something terrible he will be number 1

  28. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this team lads? 0.3 ITB

    Foster Myhil
    Terry Clyne Wisdom PVA Wasliewski
    Sanchez Hazard Sterling Elia Albrighton
    Costa Kane Kun

    Sterling or Cazorla in your opinion? Also, what is the general consensus on Elia?

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

    On WC. Is Berahino over Kane mad? Fixtures for Spurs not great? Is Bellerin or Ospina nailed also?
