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.
Adebayor to West Ham?
Pity the fixtures suck and he's unlikely to have pens. Doosra won't give them up
It will also hurt the Sakho wagon I was planning on jumping on in a few weeks.
Sakho wagon is about to be destroyed by FIFA.
There are more reasons.
It's off now. QPR back in for him 🙂
QPR the latest with interest. 100k a week though, will take some bartering with Spurs to pay a significant portion of that.
I'll alternate 3-4-3, 3-5-2, 4-3-3 up to GW28
Top reply fail 😳
How's the draft looking?
I've missed Doos banging on about Ade
But, from memory whenever Ade goes somewhere, doesn't he initially he do very well? Bangs the goals in
Too expensive for me @ 8.0Not for me, highly tempting
Pity the fixtures aren't great
Dont want him at all.
What's the most unusual reason you have used for selecting/not selecting a certain player?
I once chose not to select an up and coming goalkeeper because he had, several years earlier, tried it on with my girlfriend.
I like to think my Fantasy Football decision put him in his place...😆
That's brilliant
De Gea?
Jack Buckland?
Ha. This happened 10 years ago. This goallie was up-and-coming at the time.
Evening All
After my best week of the season slightly tainted by Jonjo & Bertrand right at the end, I am in need of some advice
Bertrand > 6m Max
Current Team for this week
De Gea
Wisdom PVA Bertrand
Puncheon Cazorla Sterling Di Maria Hazard(v)
Aguero(c) Giroud
Subs: McCarthy Austin Bellerin Hutton
1FT 2.6m
Chelsea defence maybe?
Azpi it is then 🙂
Lost on bottom of last page:
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, NaismithI like it! Similar to mine below. I am tempted to get Erikesen in there though.
Krul
Terry, Clyne, PVA, Wisdom
Can play 4-3-3 so can still wait on Sanchez as he's still the priciest mid?
Fixtures are certainly piling up for some of the clubs now.
Makes you wonder about some of the FA Cup results. Lucky in a way they didn't all win their 4th round games.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/tottenham-hotspur/fixtures
Given the League cup final and the double header in the last 32 of Europa, Spurs need no more fixture stacking this season.
Good luck to Harry Kane, plenty of chances to rack up more goals.Evening,
Is it worth having the benching headache each week with this team?
Panti 4.0
Terry Fonte Bellerin PvA Baird
Hazard Silva Eriksen Cazorla Sterling
Aguero Giroud KaneIs this your WC?
You are going to have to accept (without bleating about it on here 😉 ) that you will have some big bench scores along the way.Not WC, that was last week! I just feel that there are lots of great mids at the moment and going with 5 seems to be the way. I will probably have bench scores some of the time, but if played right, I'm sure it will be fine (he says.. ;)).
Teams Solid Mate
Play Kos (tot), Jones (whm) or Wollschied (new)
Kos
Tough one mate. You love your CB's hey 🙂
Jones but think its 2 points regardless.
They're all decent goal threats so that doesn't help
My other 2 are Lescott (bur) and Naughton (SUN) so they are nailed in my team
Probably Kos but it's tough. Could go either way.
Cuadrado 8.5 huh. Not bad
Mourinho wont trust him unless he can do defensive work.
He actually play as a wingback too, has defensive qualities already
One of his weaknesses after what I've heard. Willian won't be benched, They'll share game time I guess.
He's excellent defensively.
Excellent? Really mate? You might know this better than me
Ah what?!
Was hoping it would be less than that
Is it confirmed?It's confirmed, yes. Balotelli came in at 10, I'd say 8.5 is a fair price for Cuadrado. I guessed around 8.5-9.5 earlier
lol @ Harry
Can't sign Jarvis on loan as he's already loaned Zarate and he can't send him back
(must be after the 28 day no quibble return guarantee period)😯 I've never heard of this. Do you have a link JK so I can have a proper chuckle?
Houdini innit
Can't decide who to drop from midfield to fund Kun move (on WC)
Sanchez Santi Eriksen Hazard Silva
(Have Gru , Kane up front)
A) Eriksen: tough fixtures and blank. But he is literally on fire at the moment
B) Sanchez: no news from injury and Santi Gru for arsenal cover, could get bellerin if I sell him
C) keep it all, play 3-5-2 with KUN Kane upfront and get bellerinErik
Sanchez - replace him well tho
If Sanchez is fit, The Dane imo
Feels so wrong to remove him, in great form
Tempted by C, which is similar to mine above 😉
I wouldn't have Giroud kun kane if I intend to play 3-5-2 though. Those bench points will feck u off week in week out
That's assuming the front 8 all do well each week and there will inevitably be one that doesn't perform. The question is trying to pick the right one!
Question is how u gonna pick that right one? All fixture proof. Avoid imo
This is the million dollar question!! 😀
Silva is the one I'd least like to have long term as I think it'll be back to 4-4-2 from this week but at the same time he has the best fixture this week.
Precisely. It would be insane to drop him this week.

Professional footballers are such boring individuals, so dopey and thick, how on earth these men are multi millionaires by the time there 21 is crazy
When you grow up being drilled to pass and kick a ball to adhere to a certain set of statistics you grow fairly dull.
The younger lads, a lot of them, spend their days training and their evenings playing FIFA.Though I should say they have education programs but a lot of them are centred around sports based sciences etc.
Did you just see Zaha's interview, so uninspiring, every post match interview nowadays seems scripted too , I suppose the ones that make it all the way to the top have to have that in their personality to be disciplined and not go down the wrong track but it's so boring sometimes
One can have personality such as Pirlo or Zlatan, even Bellamy spoke his mind very frequently. But some are exceptional cases, they can be who they want to be because they're so talented. Others have to stick to the script, I agree that they're not very interesting. Then again, they are pro-athletes, I'm not sure what I'd really expect them to say to be interesting. All they know is their sport (some of them do branch out, though).
Zaha wasn't sticking to a script, he was just braindead.
Probably phrased that wrong, essentially you're saying what I meant. They know nothing outside of football, a very large number of them are utterly devoid of anything between the ears.
Don't hate participate
And yet here you are
Some footballers know the difference between they're and there.
*their
It's they're.
Assume this is in reaction to that Zaha interview. If he had a brain he might have done something decent in the PL by now.
well, some will say he was never given a chance
whilst this is true he also didn't help himself at times. which did nothing to persuade either of Moyes or LvG to give him a chanceTo be really honest, players always have their chance. Every day in training. If you want it bad enough, you'll be the first to arrive and the last to leave, every day of the season. Then you'll get chances. I don't think Zaha was arsed tbh.
this is sort of what I meant, he didn't do anything to make Moyes or LvG pick him
Ah, we are on the same wavelength. That's exactly it, you have to make yourself an asset to the team, not another costly space filler.
He's had chances at Cardiff and Palace and hasn't been able to nail a starting spot in either team.
Well he is competing with Puncheon/Bolasie/Gayle for a starting sport who are on fire now. Zaha is only 22 trying to regain the form that got us to the prem, recovering after a year up north frozen out by Moyes, and loaned out to a atrocious Cardiff side. Since Pardew has arrived he has gained more and more game time and the confidence is coming back. Hes back home now where he is loved, and with his future now certain im sure will kick on for us. Great to have him back!! 🙂

How's this looking?
Courtois / Robles
Kompany / Ivan / Wisdom / Cresswell / Kelly
Sterling / ADM / Fabregas / Sanchez / Walcott
Aguero / Giroud / Barnes352 most weeks?
Nice! Like itAlmost every week yea
Don't u like Santi?
ADM > Silva/Santi
I'll give ADM another week
chances of cahill vs zouma starting next game?
60-40 to Zouma or more?
75 25
Great article! But something not quite right here 🙂
"From Gameweek 16 onwards, Kane has netted 25.8% of his attempts – that’s far superior to Austin’s 14.3% conversion rate and almost on a par with Diego Costa’s predatory 25.8%"
I would say quite on par with Diego Costa, but thats just me 😉
Is there any nailed on way into the City defence for next 3 GWs other than Kompany and Hart.
Clichy
Nailed for 1 start in the next 3.
wouldnt bother
Don't go there
Zaba v Burnley + Sunderland. Only one winner
Hi all,
I am in a bad shape in my private league and think about wildcarding (second wildcard)
Is it worth :
Leaving Southampton defenders?
Leaving Sanchez for Cazorla?
Taking Ospina or Bellerin?No
Wait for news
Bellerin
Walters on 74% to rise on fpl stat. Anyone really think he will today or tomo?
Nobody knows. FPLStats just guessing.
Doubt it. Eriksen might though.
Current team:
Begovic (Hamer),
Wisdom, Terry, Koscielny, Duff, Bertrand
Cazorla, Hazard, Di Maria, Sterling, Albrighton
Aguero, Defoe, Giroud
Which option is best?
1. Bertrand------>Clichy
2. Bertand------->Clyne
3. DeFoe--------->KaneCan't decide between 1 & 2
ADM Naughton
or
Oscar Alderweireld + 0.5 for potential Zouma to Moreno upgrade if Zouma loses his place
(Also have BellerinRISK)DM Naughton
or
Oscar Alderweireld + 0.5 for potential Zouma to Moreno upgrade if Zouma loses his place
(Also have BellerinRISK and no other So'ton)What happend there? O.o
Oscar + Alder
How many glasses of wine will I need to do ShawX and Jenkinson to PVA and Kompany and keep Sanchez ?....
3 and wrap it with a cheeky tequila shot.
Good moves
Bertrand fall tonight?
Costa/Remy/Drogba
Hazard/Oscar/Willian/Cuadrado
Fab/Matic/Mikel/Ramires
Luis/Azpi/Cahill/Terry/Ivan/Zouma
Great XI but can they handle 2/3 injuries?Not when if they would have Costa cesc hazard out
Or Matic/Terry
Indeed, especially Matic
There seems to be a Clichy wagon building on here? Has Kolarov gotten injured again? Otherwise I;d avoid, Hull at home screams Kolarov start to me
This.
Yes. Avoid.
Lets start the KolarovWagon then!
don't need to ask me twice
Bertrand to Clichy is an amusingly bad move. Selling a player that's missing the next 3 games for one that will probably play 1 of the next 3, and the away game at that.
What do you think to Kompany?
I think the spot is Clichy's to lose and Kolo will sit this one out.
But I guess either way it's a punt.
Guys, on wc....how does it look?
Forster pants
Terry Baines Jones bellerin pva
Cazorla hazard coutinho Puncheon boyd
Aguero kane giroud
2.3 in the bankNot a fan of the midfield
Is Coutinho a FPL player..10,6,5,7,2,3,10....says he is...
Baines on WC? And coutinho is a doing well but those fixtures.
But somehow I liked it cos it is not template
Who is the best defender to get for Bertrand other than Arsenal & Chelsea defenders?
Clyne/Fonte
Pva
Clyne
Alder
Why do they even want Adebayor ?...Do they know something we don't ?
The Adebayor cycle is:
1. Impress at a new club
2. Wage increase
3. Go off the boil and reveal true lazy character
4. Repeat
Worried about FIFA being a pain in the arse, more like
Quinn and nowt happening. Time for bed
