We delve into the previous two Gameweeks’ data this afternoon after the quick-fire schedule saw a couple of rounds of fixtures take place over the last six days. Southampton and Leicester’s wide men with an eye for goal, Liverpool’s raiding wing-back and Burnley’s in-form striker are amongst today’s candidates, whilst we also asses the lack of impact from a Palace winger and the Saints’ toiling Italian.
Here's an excel doc showing the fixtures up to the first "unlimited transfers break". https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18GZ9ZXpMNiXNrsralMrPjX9TmFWgJxdpcDivWRNOwRE/edit#gid=806071520

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers snapped at the Vatican on scouting trip
The Anfield boss did not attend a live game as neither Serie A giants Lazio or Roma played but Sportsmail understands he flew out to do some groundwork on trying to sign Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic.
He is signing the Pope, he is really impressed with his conversion rate.Open Controls
Anyone else thinking of bringing in Yaya this week?
Open Controls10.7
Ozil an option too, but I already have Sanchez and Walcott so a bit too much Arsenal...Open Controls
A bit tempted but I have Silva and Kun - really hoping to save the transfer if nothing required. See how and where Yaya slots back in first too...

David Villa on loan to Man City, Bony wagon dead 😉
https://twitter.com/MCFC/status/566281409187561472Open ControlsNope, just paying a visit to the ground I believe
Open Controls
If Phil Jones is fit would you still shift him for Alder?
Open ControlsAye.
Open Controlseven with Pool in town this week?
Open Controls
If/when Baines drops, he'll be 0.1 lower than when I bought him. Also injured and after next game has horrible fixtures.
However, have Wisdom to deal with.
Which one merits the transfer?Open ControlsWisdom imo. Everton are getting tighter - looked solid v Chelsea and that is as good a test as any. If Baines adds cleanies to his usual assists and odd pen he may get back on some radars...
Open ControlsCheers. He's a money pit a bit, but at least he's playing, and carrying Kane, Hazard and Terry into the blank, I can't carry any other passengers.
Open Controls
I have no idea about picks for the CWC or cricket in general..If I play is there a way of winging it through auto completes and the like...or even any stats pages ?
Open Controls
I have no knowledge of Cricket, but have joined a prediction league.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreaciated. Only a couple of points between me and my rival:
Krul - Pantilimon
Clyne - Ivanovic - Naughton - Wisdom - Vergini
Cazorla - Mane - Hazard - Silva - Marney
Giroud - Kane - Agüero
Have two FTs.Open Controlsbit early to be making transfers. lot could happen in the next week.
Open Controlsahh, FA cup. This is what happens when you have a long week...
cheersOpen Controls
Obviously Marney needs dealing with asap with one of those FTs - you will need a full squad for the DGWs coming ...
Open Controls
Best 4.5 defender? Already have PVA and Bellerin
Open Controls
What changes would you suggest for this messy team?
Pants
Clyne / Fonte / PVA
Haz / ADM / Sanchez* / Caz
Kane / Kun / Defoe
(Krul / Wisdom* / Wasi* / Marney*)
1 FT & 3m itbOpen Controlswith whom?
Open Controls
worth doubling up on bellerin and kosc?
thanksOpen ControlsI think Bellerin is enough. Save the money for the DGW.
Open Controlssorry got kos... thinking bellerin in for baird...
Open Controlsnaughton, pva, baird, kosc, jones.
want jones out for toby and will get rid of kos probably for chels defender in the double... but rotation risk defenders have been frustrating me recently. was thinking bruce? but rotation risk...
thanksOpen ControlsGo for Toby, I think a Saints defender is essential.
Open Controlsye i agree, but who would be your cheap replacement for baird, thinking bellerin if getting rid of kos soon. got 4.4...
thanksOpen Controls
I'm not a double def man - so a no from me...
Open Controlsok thanks
Open Controls
Best 4.4 defender?
want to get rid of baird Already have PVA and naughton...
thinking dawson and just short for wolly.
thanksOpen Controlsye tempted by that, but worried chambers may get his spot back... also have kosc, but getting rid for terry i dgw...
thanksOpen Controls
would you play double Soton def against Pool (Fonte & CLyne)?
lack of options at the back with other def being PVA, Wasi* & Wisdom*Open ControlsJust hit the auto complete button on CWC but I've no clue of it's any good or not...Anybody willing to share a template...?...Promise I won't win it...
Open Controls
You need the top all rounders plus the best two bowlers.
Wicketkeeper(s) must be ace batsmen.
A.B de Villiers.Open ControlsThat's a start...I have no clue who anybody is but I'm willing to learn...I just need a way in with a half decent template. I'll pick it up as the tournie progresses.
Open Controls
Is not really a set template like fpl. You can think of having 3-4 players playing per match at best. So try using the 42 transfers wisely to get 1-2 good players per match.
Open Controls
Decent template to start off would be: 4 NZ 1SL, 3 Aus 3 South Africa as they all play first
An example team could be: Anderson, Boult, Williamson, Southee, Dilshan, Warner, Smith, Johnson, Philander, De Kock, Amla
Decent English picks include: Bell, Finn, Ali and Anderson. Buttler if needing a wicket keeperOpen ControlsBrilliant...Thanks Demi...I'll put that in and then read up a bit in the coming days and try to learn a bit. As long as I have a fantasy interest in it and a starting point I'll just wing it..for good or bad. It should be fun.
Open ControlsNo worries Wakey. A bit hard to keep track off with the match timings though, and need to change captain(power player) after each match. I'll doubtless forget to do some. But it's only a bit of fun really.. the first match starts at 10pm tonight, England play australia at 3:30 in the morning
Open Controls
Could think of sangakara too... Btw you have the choice of 42 transfers in the group stage. Make good use of it.
Open Controlswhich website are you doing the cricket on?
thanksOpen Controls
Which transfer would you do this week ? (thinking of b)
a) Wisdom > Colo/Haidara/Wolly/Naughton
b) Caz > Ozil
Option (a) :
pros - Maintain TV
cons - if it's so unlucky that Wisdom's replacement is in doubt to play fr gw 27 it becomes a waste transfer (not gonna play him this week anyway)
Option (b) :
pros - exciting move , sure about who's fit to replace Wisdom the week after
cons - tv loss for sureOpen ControlsSo last Valentine's Day I gave my ex-gf some flowers and a really nice poem
"Roses are Red"

Seeing a lot about people quitting FF this week.... Thing is, how long do you really think it would be before you started to regret that decision? I know I'd be back into it for the next gameweek...
Open ControlsWowzers. Nice! Adrián's red card OVERTURNED! 😀
Open ControlsWas never going to be an option - would serve his ban in the cup match.
Open Controls
hmm..good for WH but didn't he prevent a goal scoring chance ?
Open ControlsNo. He was fouled, as we protested at the time.
Open Controls
Good for the team but bad for jussi.
Open Controls
Anyone any thoughts on how best to plan for gameweek 27 & 28, with 2 FT 0.7 in the bank and wildcard still available.
Foster Hamer
Terry Clyne PVA Hutton Wisdom
Hazard Sanchez Walcott Silva Boyd
Aguero Giroud Kane
I was thinking along the lines of:
Wisdom to Haidera for GW 26
Terry and Giroud to Wollscheid and Strurridge for GW 27
And wildcard for GW 28, getting Terry, Costa, Erikson and a spurs def. (assuming Chelsea and Spurs have a double and Costa doesnt pick up yellow cards)
Anything else standing out?Open Controlsye i like, no point doing haidara move as against city as you may as well as see if he is nailed on...
