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.

    Is Haidara a likely starter now that Santon has left? Could be useful replacement for Wasi for GW27

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

      Dummett is a threat.

    2. Del Monte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Dummett

    3. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      thought Dummet was first choice before his hammy injury? Not sure when he's back though...

      1. Henry Hill
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Forgot all about that guy, thanks lads

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

      Haidara will play if Dummet ousts Williamson at centre back.

      I think Dummet is about 4.2 now though, so he might be worth it.

        wilshere: just posted similar. what do u think, is it fair to
        assume haidara is nailed at LFB?
        (given santon got sent bak to inter)
        and when Dummet gets bak from injury, its williamson (and not haidara) who steps out and dummet plays at Central Def.

          Wilshere: this which way would u go: thnx

          1.cameron > Haidara
          2.cameron > Wollscheid

          fixtures
          NEW: STK cry mci AVL

            Well I don't think we know who Carver will favour at CB yet, so it's a risk. I'd go for Wolly out of those, but have you considered Naughton?

            1. Total Foot 5
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              havent yet naughton. but really like haidara, hes coming into his own finaly since he was hailed favorably in france. Haidara played suerb this past gw, 1 assist, very attacking, would really want him and at 4.1 is a steal...]
              why would he favor williamson at Cb and dummet LFB
              when he can have dummet who has alredy played very well at CB and then have a natural LFB in haidar whi proved hes good??

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

                Well I just don't know to be honest. I'd play Dummet over Williamson, but it's hard to judge new managers. Dummet is fairly new to the role, so Carver might consider Williamson to be the safer choice..
                If Dummet came back from injury and went straight to centre back, I'd feel confident in Haidara.

                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  ok cheers. tough one.
                  yud basicaly wait for haidara to start w/ confirmation of where dummet is going if Cb or LFB. or ud go directly to wolls or naughton. i think im dlightly biased towards NEwcastel fixtures over stoke.

    Why does Pulis want Cole when he already has Anichebe? Don't get that; they strike me as similar players

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

      yeah ones who can't score.

    2. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Cover + Competition..

    3. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Agreed. Like for like and Carlton is no better a goalscorer

  3. Essrick
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Foster | Myhill
    Azpi | Clyne | Bellerin | Wolly | PVA
    Haz | Caz | Oscar | Sterling | Punch
    Kun | Giroud | Kane

    1. Del Monte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Very nice.

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

        Thanks.

        Bit worried about how I go about getting Sanchez back in when he's fit though...

    2. Isco Disco
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No Sanchez? And Punch is a bit expensive for a 5th mid

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

        That's my main issue right now.

        Could change Puncheon to Moses?

        1. n-doggg
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          downgrade oscar and carzola for sanchez

    3. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      V. nice.. Azpi burned me good, don't trust him anymore.. Sterling's urgent fixtures are not so good..

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

        Cheapest route into the Chelsea defence! Only reason Luis played ahead of him was because of the injury.

        1. Shah G
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Not 1st choice.. Mour likes Luis for his attack potential will play ahead of Azpi vs weakers team i.e. BUR..

  4. boyler

    Is Clichy nailed on a bit worried with kolarov lurking around

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

      no. avoid.

      1. Shah G
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        This..

  5. southernpacific

    Berty to who? Already have Clyne. I have 5,9 to spend

    1. Del Monte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Koscielny

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

        With Spurs next?

        1. Del Monte
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Got to think long term rather than just the next

        2. Shah G
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Kos is best replacement(with Clyne already there).. Bench n play your stock def or trust his goal threat.. OR Re-double-up with Fonte..

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

            Could just play Wisdom v Burnley and wait on Sanchez news

            1. Shah G
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Get Kos, play Wisd..

  6. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Even Baird is dad, is it worth ti waste a transfer on a 5th defender? Can't believe I am considering going back to Yun haha. But he has blank so...? Play 10 in gw 27 or waste a transfer on a 5th mid

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

      'waste a transfer on a 5th mid' is a sequence of words from which i can parse no meaning

  7. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Is there any news on Man U signing a defender before the deadline? If not I'm downgrading from rojo to jones

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

      nope.

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

      They won't.

  8. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Bench one?

    PvA Jones Punch

    1. Jax

      PVA

    2. Morbius

      JOnes

  9. Boydinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Martin Olsson could be gold in fpl, should be 4.5 right?

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

      prob 5.0

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

      Much better than Wisdom though?

  10. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Oh ffs. Niall fecking Quinn. Bye-bye SSN.

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

      was just going to say just when you thought it couldn't get any worse on comes Quinn

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

    I have a feeling captaining Aguero is the wrong choice this weekend, he hasn't been the same since his injury...but also risky not captaining him.

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

      Newcastle scored 3... THREE!!

      1. womf
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I suppose, but that logic never works in the premier league. I reckon Hazard or an Arsenal player will score more than Kun.

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

          this is the week where Aguero scores well

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

      Yes we could end up being disappointed. Very few will look elsewhere though - and you've still got to make the right call on any differential captain you choose. I'm playing it safe this week.

    3. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Dont overthink this, your fear of what he CAN do will make you keep it on him..

    4. chrisdale98
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      this game is the reason u buy him

  12. Somalion

    Cabral has left Sunderland by mutual consent.

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He never left anyone's FPL team in such a peaceful manner.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I had him. It was JOA's fault, he was sensational pre season 😆

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

          Evs did as well. 🙂

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

        Wreckage everywhere, lives ruined.

        Maybe I'm way wrong here, I thought there was a point where he was decent for them? Probably incorrect, can't remember well enough.

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

      He was there that whole time? 😯

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

        Hiding behind Wickham!

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years

        He went on loan abroad I think

        1. Jax
          • 16 Years

          another awful di canio signing gone.

  13. harrysponge
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What to do with Bertie?

    A) Bertie ---> Clyne (-4)
    B) Bertie ---> Fonte (-4)
    C) Save and lose 0.1

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Who would you be playing if you went with C?

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

        Wisdom, Keane, PVA...

        got Baird + Bertie on Bench

        1. Connor's Calling
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          esssh. Tricky one.

          I'm thinking about a -4 in order not to double up on SUN away at SWA [+to be able to afford Silva] -that said it normally doesnt work out taking hits for defenders...

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

            yep, maybe I should take the 0.1 loss and transfer him out next GW

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

      I would'nt take a hit if you have playable other 3 defenders, what do you think of my Bertrand-situation below?

    3. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Not C, your def cant afford him on the bench..

      1. Shah G
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Look below, now thats a def who can bench Bert..

  14. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Terry, Jones, Kosc, Baird and Bertrand(red) defenders. Panti in goal.
    A) Sell Bertrand (and get who, max 5,7?)
    B) Use Terry, Jones, Kosc - save FT and rethink with 2FT next week

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

      B. I'm not sure you have a good option for 5.7 this week anyway.

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

      i think sell. as your only backup defender is baird, who probably won't play. i'm in the same situation and shipping. if anything happens to one of the 3 defenders, u field 10

    3. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      B for sure.

    4. harrysponge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Terry, Jones + Kosc is great!

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

        Thx, am leaning toward B since those 3 can do fine.

  15. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Given i'm looking at Kane, Terry and Haz to bench for GW27...can i get a Yes/No to the below plan:

    This week:
    Chadli -> Silva
    Bertrand -> Bellerin
    (-4)

    Next week:
    Baird -> AlderW

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      bellerin isnt nailed on

      1. chrisdale98
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        after a clean sheet, great performance and a goal! coupled with great recent performances and getting the nod ahead of chambers. methinks he is nailed for now

      2. Shah G
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He is nailed.. Was very good defensively(and offensively), Chambers is cover for Kos/Mert.. During UCL may get rested but nailed otherwise..

  16. jam
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    ADM - Silva for free? Have Aguero.

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      i'd keep ADM if you can

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

        Sanchez/Chadli/Cazorla/Hazard so he's the only option!

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

      Keep ADM

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

      I've decided to keep for now. The Big Numbers article reassured me somewhat.

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

        *which is this article. Wasn't sure if we had moved on ha

    4. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Silva will not score every week.. Their full backs be back attacking and he'll assist the assister..

  17. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Where to spend extra £2.2m?

    Krul / Panti
    Bellerín / Ivanovic / Clyne / Wisdom / PVA
    Hazard / Silva / Walters / Sterling / Cazorla
    Kane / Giroud / Agüero

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

      there is no reason that you need to spend it

    2. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I went with Kos over Bellerin on my WC (with 1.9 itb), just to be safe..

  18. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I'm torn between sticking

    Forster hamer
    terry ROJO BERTY clyne HUTTON
    sanche sterling hazard di maria, ameobi
    aguero AUSTIN Kane

    Or sacrificing 16 points for a better who will increase in price over the week by about .4

    I was gona bring in jones, bellerin, Dawson/wisdom, giroud

    It's basically shuffling players who r much of a muchness so that I can get giroud for Austin, if he goes up .1 in price (which he will) I won't be able to afford him.

    So the question is, is -16 and giroud for Austin worth it?

    1. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No

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

      um. i'd hazard a guess at ' definitely not, you absolute loon'

    3. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Keep Hutton, get Bellerin+1 this week, get Giroud next week..

      Daily Fail has an 'article' where Theo Walcott 'thinks' he 'might' be back next week

      http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2936876/Alexis-Sanchez-enjoys-dog-s-life-Arsenal-star-recovers-hamstring-strain.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

      That's about as tenuous as it gets, in my book.

        Thank you. His 25% fitness on FPL worries me but if that's definitely come from Walcott's mouth I can't see him missing the derby.

    Tadić (73), Pellè (63) and Djuricic (57) were in the Eredivisie top 6 of most chances created from open play in 2012/13. Trinity

          I've seen him play many times mate. I'm a regular Bundesliga viewer, although admittedly he did nothing at Mainz. I've also seen him plenty of times for Serbia. He was highly rated in his Eredivisie days and has stunted since then, as I said.

          I'd downgrade your defence a lot, and change Tadic to someone good.

    Is there any way to see when a player was injured other than the fact they didn't play?

    e.g. Kolarov

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

      That's a good question, I don't know. Could try running Physioroom through the Wayback Machine? (Serious suggestion)

      Just google the player + ESPN and you can see whether they were in the squad.

    what is the template defence line??

    currently got

    Hart 4.0
    Terry Clyne Zab Hutton Wisdom

    thinking of selling hart, zabeleta, but not sure who to get.

    Courtois is in my consideration, but if I do, I get 3 chelsea + Kane for blank (who all 4 i am not going to sell)
