We delve into the Gameweek 23 data this evening in our first members article of the week. Liverpool’s flourishing attack, Southampton’s misfiring frontman, Angel Di Maria’s eye for goal and Eden Hazard’s worrying home form are all on our radar.
Broadchurch season 2 is a bit shite.
Old news
Happy valley thou was great
Selling Sanchez lets me have this team of benching headaches....
Foster/Krul
PVA, Hutton, Naughton (3 way rotation) + Bellerin & Terry
Hazard, Silva, Sterling, Downing, Caz
Aguero, Giroud, Kane
3m in bank for Giroud > Sturridge for exampleDon't think I can take the stress of not having Sanchez (c) for LEI. Wouldn't go anywhere near Downing on WC.
Had Downing for ages. Could keep Sanchez, do Downing > Elia or Boyd and bench and switch Giroud > Sturridge
Use that 3m to upgrade the defence.
Who would you suggest?
Cheap - Alderweireld. Quality - Ivan.
For who?
Alan of Hutton.

First time I've been able to get online, I guess the lack of transfers means this place hasn't gone into melt down...
Doosra is about to.
😯 😆
Haha let me guess... More Doos tables ..;)
Something to do with a Barn Door 😉
😀
Oh, come, oh come, Emmanuel ...

Try singing Hava Nagila. It's Levy you need to get to. 😉
Kurt Zouma could be one to watch for a double price rise this week for anyone on WC looking to flip a player for some cash. Only has 15,056 owners in total and was brought in by 2,612 today.
FISO and FPLstatistics have him at 20-30% but I don't know what he started the day on. He managed to slide from 5.0 to 4.6 since the start of the season despite only 4,492 transfer out over the first 21 gameweeks so it shouldn't take much to move him??
I'm not an expert on how value works but I have seen players rise unexpectedly this season and I definitely see him going up once and hopefully twice this week. I'm 0.2 off the team I want - I have Santi and am going to sell when he goes up again - so am really hopeful something like this comes off.Cheers, interesting. Still not convinced. Could so easily be Cahill next week.
Selling Cazorla for whom?Yeah I'm not convinced either, i'M suggesting Zouma might rise twice before the deadline so just get him now and bank 0.1 on Sat morning.. wishful thinking though probably
Selling Cazorla for Oscar so my 3 Arsenal will be Walcott, Alexis and Bellerin and 3 Chelsea will be Oscar, Terry and Hazard..
This is the kind of move I'm looking for...(won't happen though, surely. There are so few double risers this season)
I'm afraid that for low ownership players it's much easier for them to fall in price than rise. I'm sorry to say but you'll be lucky to get one rise out of him, let alone two.
Santi will defo rise again by weekend.
Agree about the rest of them. I can't sell any other mids/forwards as I want them and have value locked in so can't get in someone like Eriksen who might have a chanve of going up.
Bellerin might go up too but I want to keep him. Didn't realise players went up in value much slower than they went down.. meh!!
He's miles away. Not even 1 rise this week.
double-rise days are over.
By the time you catch 2 rises, your true targets have gone +0.1mBrought in Santi on Saturday and he rose 0.1 overnight. He's at 22% now - surely he'll be up .1 by next Saturday...
Somewhen read the wc transfers don't count to the price rises anymore, but could just be a guess...
Adebarndor to West Ham
It's not going to happen 🙂
David Gold @davidgold 1m1 minute ago
Don't go to bed. dgHe wants us to watch his porn channels 🙂
😯
Pff, don't wake me up. Such a time waster.
People who are WCing this week, how are your drafts coming along?
Good I'm prett much there now.. Going away on a stag on Friday night so need to have everything locked down by Friday afternoon!
Wild Card#2:
Begovic, Pantilimon
Clyne, Moreno, Bellerin, Rose, Dummett
Silva[Sánchez], Cazorla, Hazard, Sterling, Ward-Prowse
Sturridge, Falcao, Kane
4.1[1.8] ITBRegardless of stats, not worried about no Kun this week given how easy the fixture is?
Not too much, no. BUT - I still have him ... 😉
Now, now Doos. We all know it's wildcard #37.
I don't know, I like that team (with Silva not Sanchez) apart from the forwards.
How about losing Sturridge, upgrading Ward-Prowse to Ozil and playing 3-5-2?Incidentally, Begovic is due to fall. You might consider losing him and getting him back 0.1 cheaper?
Plus no Chelsea defence? Tasty fixtures
Or is this part of the blank game week plan Doos?Yep. Rose up first, you see. If Chelski go double at the same time as Spurs, I may change.
No Aguero 😯
Get another defender to keep Clyne company.
Meh
Pretty template at the mo
COurtois Kurl
Bellerini Terry WIsdom Hutton Clyne
DOwning Hazard Sterling Silva (Sanchez)
Kane Austin Giroud
what you think??I'd like Aguero personally. Good fixtures for the best player in the League.
I've never met Aguero but he seems a decent lad.
can't go without Aguero and those fixtures
This is what I've picked atm.
Foster Pants
Ivanovic Clyne Bellerin (Wisdom Bruce)
ADM Silva Hazard Sanchez (Ameobi)
Aguero Giroud KaneToo many Arsenal assets to try and get in plus Sterling/Sturridge lookng like htting form, doubts over Fab (had him since start)
Currently....
Krul / Pantilimon
Wollscheid / Terry / Clyne / Wisdom / van Aanholt
Hazard / Silva / Walters / Sánchez / Cazorla
Kane / Giroud / Agüero
I do like the looks of that. Unfortunately I'm about a million short 🙁
I may not change any of my front 8 😯 The only move I want to make is to upgrade Austin to Sturridge, but finding the money for that ain't easy so I may just stick with him...
Any worries over Wisdom's future minutes given his substitution at the weekend?
Not really. Can't see West Brom being two or three down at home after an hour very often.
Thanks. WBA fans were fairly harsh in their assessment (see Twitter). I did not see the match but is sounded like he laid an egg.
when are fans not harsh during/in the wake of a rout? overreactions I think
As Fantasy player I've been chuffed at their recent cleansheets, but apparently they have been playing turgid and this result was seen coming by some.
Zouma or Bellerin?
Bellerin
depends if you have terry/ivan already?
Got Ivan?
belli then
what's wrong with doubling up on a defence? (unless you want their attacking players...oh)
Bellerin... Cahill won't be out of the team too long.
Zouma
if you can afford to be without 3 arsenal attackers, then bellerin for sure
I think this is how I'll be lining up this weekend
................Krul
...Terry - Clichy - Wisdom
Oscar - Caz - Hazard - Wally
....Giroud - Kun(c) - Pelle
Panti; Boyd, Wolly, Toby
though Toby in for Wisdom if he's fit to startNice Sanchez less team. Really do get more bang for your buck without him. Plus I think you've covered his points with the tripe Arsenal
cheers..regretting massively doing Kane > Pelle, but it's still early and the returns of crucial Soton players could benefit Pelle, who has QPR..
How nailed on is Theo?
I personally think he's nailed..we'll see for sure when Sanchez is back but I think that pace is invaluable for Arsene and will make his team a nightmare to defend agaisnt..
I got him in last week and capped him and it worked out alrightHard to argue with that
What would you do with this team this week? Probably going to get rid of Chadli. 1FT 2.1 ITB
Lloris Krul
PvA Ivanovic Baird Baines Clyne
Hazard Theo Di Maria Chadli Ward-Prowse
Aguero Ings Kanedowngrade bains and upgade elsewhere
Chadli to Puncheon?
Adebayor is off to West Ham!!
Ex Arsenal & Spurs
Ex footballer
he loves London
Why leave it then?
does Greater London not count?
West Ham is Greater Essex.
West Ham is a London club..
rejoicing in the streets of north london
still 100k ?
If he goes on loan he might start playing again. He is an upgrade on carlton cole!
Burnley fan and I've got an inside source that apparently we've broken our transfer record on a box of Quality Streets for the recruitment team.
did they buy the confectionary just to spite blackburn so they couldn't buy it?
we sold them the Topics from a 2006 Celebrations box.
having eaten them first and refilled the topic wrappers I presume
there's real luv between you isn't there...
FFP gonna bite Burnley.
they'll limit their european squad to 21 mojos
Currently looking at:
Krul, Ospina
Clichy, Wisdom, Bellerin, PvA, Naughton
Silva, Puncheon, Hazard, Carzola, Mane
Kane, Sturridge, AgueroGet Cazorla!!!!
Any suggestions?
Panti/krul
Terry, clyne, PVA, wollscheid, Baird
Sanchez, hazard, Walcott, moses, puncheon
Agüero, Rooney, Defoe
1ft, 0.3itbRooney to a striker who actually plays upfront.
So Kane or Sturbridge right?
Who would you upgrade moses/puncheon to?Do you have enough for Sturridge?
Go Kane and upgrade elsewhereI can do
A)Rooney > Sturridge, moses > Walters
Or
B)Rooney > Kane or a cheap striker, moses/puncheon > to any mid below 10mlnB
So Kane and sterling?
Not sure on sterling. But, yes, Kane
Check out the other mids
It might be time to lose Rooney... (Giroud?)
I would get giroud, but I don't really want to triple up on arsenal attack just in case I want to buy a defender from them.
bellering or PVA?
Bellerín
Ings (c)
Worth a puntRangers signing 5 Newcastle players on loan
That will go down like a lead ballonharry must be as thick as hsite-looking to take another player from west ham and sending zarate back......
A) Kompany, Silva, Austin
or
B) Wasilewski, Eriksen, Sturridge
??
I cant decide! Help!!Silva and Kompany just have such great fixtures, and I bet Kompany scores in one of them (it's about time)
The new southampton signing - is he a threat to tadic?
Tadic is a threat to himself
😆
- Scout picks challenge gw 22 results
SCOUT PICKS CHALLENGE - GAMEWEEK 22 FINAL RESULTS
I keep apologising but I'm managing to keep up for the most part! GW23 results will be up tomorrow night as I try to make sure I'm back, but for now here is GW22 results...!
1st - Aliminator (76pts)
2nd - Mookie (65pts)
3rd - Walsh & MB10 (60pts)
with Tibbles, Chickenwithpeas (59pts), Milanista and Morior Invictus (58pts) extremely close to getting in the points! Unlucky guys, and better luck next time! However, what an outstanding victory by Aliminator - absolutely smashed it!
FFS Scout Picks & Differentials scored 63 points combined, and thus Aliminator and Mookie have gained an additional bonus point each.
This leads to another (of various) shake ups at the top of the table, and we have the league currently looking like;
1st - Mookie (15pts)
2nd - FFS Scout (13pts)
3rd - Aliminator & Sticky Mockwell (8pts)
with Walsh, Marian Kuna Guero and Milanista lurking behind on 7 points.
Mookie keeps overtaking the Scout Picks one way or another, but I have a feeling GW23 may be the Scouts' victory considering the players they have in their picks. Until tomorrow evening folks...
*** Note: Thanks to Billy Gilmore, I'll be trialing a new spreadsheet over the next few gameweeks which should make my job a lot easier. Please watch out for new instructions which I will try to highlight. ***

You're getting closer week on week to more points!
Really? I haven't been paying too much attention 🙂
I was thinking. Would it not be cool and more interesting for fantasy football if there was a limited number of managers that can own each player? Eg only 1mln ppl can have agüero at the same time?
I reckon this would bring more diversity into the game rather than ppl all having very similar "template" squads.interesting a midway point between template boredom and megadraftitis
I just feel it gets quite boring sometimes when ppl have the same strike force of agüero, giroud, Kane or something like that. This rule would force ppl to invest in players, bring them in earlier to beat other ppl to them and just make the game harder in general.
No this is not American Football and no dude, and no bro.
I can see someone is scared their whole team would get screwed.
A lot of people talk about a draft on here, I've no idea what they're on about, but that could be interesting / unfair
Its a bit like NFL. I reckon ppl are just scared of this making the game more difficult, but I think it would be something they'd enjoy.
Bad calls in my WC a couple of weeks ago 🙁
Baird
Gardos
Wasi
Cahill
In terms of priority to take out, I presume the order would be 2, 1, 3., 4 ?If Cahill isn't playing I'd make him first priority due to price but agree with the rest.
cheers Milanista
So, Lennon @ 6.2?
Yeah, that's one to throw into the mixer. Great fifth midfielder. (I am sticking with Mane, for now)
Shane Ferguson out on loan with a view to a permanent move. Could be farewell to an FPL legend.
Anyone up for a bit of curve fever or haxball? lol
Thoughts on Def???
Zouma\Alderweild\PVA\Naughton\Bellerin
Means my front 7 is -
Haz\Sanchez\Eriksen\Silva (Ameobi)
Sturridge\Kane\AguroSorry I really don't like the defence
Ballsy tho
I'm getting rid of Rooney. Shortlisted Sturridge and Falcao. Who would you go for?
Sturridge. Kid is lethal.
Giroud.
I have Sanchez and Walcottand bringing Kos in for Leicester.
I like Falcao's fixtures, and I do feel he's not far away. But Danny is fixture proof!
How should anyone know without knowing your team? And answer others questions too maybe sometimes?
Thinking of 3-5-2 post WC. Thoughts on this lot appreciated;
Forster, Gilks
Terry, Bellerin, PvA, Wisdom, Naughton
Caz, Sanchez, Oscar, Haz, Silva
Augero, Kane, NaismithLads, if you had to drop one who would it be?
1) Walcott
2) Giroud
3) Sanchez1
1
