We delve into the members data this evening after the Gameweek came to its conclusion last night. Stoke, Southampton and Watford’s forwards all come under analysis, whilst Sergio Aguero and Alexis Sanchez make a strong claim for immediate investment on the back of their weekend showings.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Hard to look past those stats on Kun and Sanchez, essentials!

      Can't afford Sanchez just yet but need to make room asap

    Cheers Paul. That Walcott stat surprised me

      Yeap, getting him on WC I think.

      Points surely imminent

  4. BrockLanders

    A) Play Mane away to Watford instead of Henderson as potentially injured.

    B) Sell Henderson for Ayew (-4) Play Ayew instead of Mane

    C) Stop being silly, play Mane and log off PC?

    1. GrumblyBlowfish
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Why would you bench Mane?

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely play Mane.

    Hello. I just wanted to let you know Club Brugge are an excellent team, better than Barcelona. United will win the the Premier League and Champion's League this season, what a wonderful, talented team. Depay is better than Ronaldo.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      You must really know what you are talking about

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Yes. I am also a football genius and Professor of Soccerology at Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          You've got 2 FTs this week mate. Use them to bring Humility and Modesty in to your squad. They're season keepers....

          1. Somalion
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            I prefer Mata and Depay. Much better players than Humility and Modesty. Must play for one of those small teams like Liverpool.

            1. Ginkapo FPL
              • 14 Years

                Yes, but I prefer Mental Fortitude.

          2. Ginkapo FPL
            • 14 Years

            Are they essential? Both CB's I believe.

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear

      But can they do it on a wet Tuesday night away to Stoke?

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Yes. Very much so.

    3. BrockLanders
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Depay was very impressive tbf.

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Yes. Very good. Made our players look foolish, perhaps even infant like.

          Why, man, he bestrode the pitch like a colossus !

      Yep and the 35 stat is a decent budget that I'd never considered. Love this article a lot.

    Anyone got any plans to use the triple captain etc ??

    1. Ludo
      • 12 Years

      Nah. Makes the game too luck-based. Think I'll refrain from using it as a form of protest.

      1. tommys
        • 15 Years

        Even on the last GW and you can top your league by using them? 😛

    Chelsea's interest in hijacking Man Utd's Pedro deal strong. Lot of talks today. But surely it's too late? Shows Mourinho needs more though #telegraph

    1. Somalion
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      "Ed Woodward, the Manchester United chief executive, has been in Barcelona today, speaking to the club and the word is that a deal will be done this week one way or another," Sky Sports' Spanish football expert Balague told Revista de La Liga.

      "I understand a deal between the player and United is already in place and all that is left is for United to put the €30m on the table. They are just negotiating how they are going to pay it, with installments or an amount up-front.

      "They are very close. I'm not sure whether Barcelona will try one last time with Pedro and say 'don't go', but it seems his mind is already made up."

      Manchester United are a better club than Chelsea, wonderful, and he will go there for much glory.

    Am i over doing it with Sakho and Payet, Gomis & Ayew?

    Any decent alternatives for the price?

    McCarthy/Butland
    Kompany/Darmian/Richards/Targett/Muniesa
    Sanchez/Toure/Ayew/Payet/Sakho
    Aguero/Sakho/Gomis

    1. Colonel Wasabi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 3 months ago

      One or other of the midfielders could allow one or other fwd to change to Benteke or the like.
      4 eggs in (historically) mid-table baskets.... I'd try to diversify at least one if it were me.

      However I'm not an 'expert'...

      1. Colonel Wasabi
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Sorry - should have said one or other of the mids to Mahrez.
        Not sure about Sakho playing twice either....

        1. dz1984
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Crap actually have him already, not Sakho (twice)

          1. Colonel Wasabi
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            It's a nice team..but with 4 from WHM & SWA I would still look to switch one out.
            Do you think all 4 will always score well at the same time ?
            Bench choice will be a coin toss.......

  17. Rhys85

    Play Myhill at home to Chelsea or Ruddy at home to Stoke?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 10 Years

      Ruddy

  18. Gaz Downright
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years

    Q: Which player (with 10 starts or more) had the best minutes/chance ratio registered last season?

    1. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero I guess?

    2. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Hint: The only player better than Agüero.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Sanchez

        1. Gaz Downright
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Mario Balotelli

          Which shows how deceiving that stat can be.

    3. Ginkapo FPL

    Last season GW8 was a defining moment for many on here. By GW4 Kun won't be a differential like he was then. Who will rescue us FFSers from our terrible starts this time. In other words, who's our secret weapon?

      Keeping wildcard will safe a lot of people.

      1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        *save, obviously.

    3. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Casual players will mostly baulk at the 13m+ price tag. I think he'll be around 30% ownership at most. If you captain him for a huge haul, that's still a pretty massive advantage.

  20. naits
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    My WC team boils down to this decision:

    A: Redmond + Diouf
    B : Ayew + 5.0 forward (At Ighalo now)

    Whats your take on it guys?

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years

  21. Demí
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Decided i want Kolarov, so just got rid of Kompany again, and won't be making money out of him. Decided to keep Toure too and ignore Silva's rise tonight. No turning back now

    1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Do you still looking to buy Silva during this window or ignored completely?

    2. Richd
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Demi I respect your reason and I need to make my choice before I sleep.

      I want Kolarov, but after Walcott and the whole early wildcard thing, he makes me nervous for the first time ever.

      1. Demí
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Don't know what to say really, it probably depends on the rest of your defence, and how many games you'd be comfortable with him getting benched for. Nobody should be kidding themselves that Kolarov is nailed, as i do see rotation when CL picks up. But i think Kolarov is playing so well now and is 1st choice, he'll start a lot, and when he doesn't, i don't see him coming off the bench much, so your other defenders can hopefully cover.

        1. Richd
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          I'm going for him Darmian and then something like Francis, Huth and Dawson. So probably could handle it. He's so fun to watch as well.

      2. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Kolarov may or may not be rotated but i cant play this game without him, its like having chocoalte cake without icecream

    3. Ginkapo FPL

      You/ve been a hater for ages.

      1. Demí
        • 14 Years

        No way. He's always in my thoughts

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          He was always in my heart

    4. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      I'm doing the complete opposite. See you on the flip side.

  22. BananaNose Maldonado
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    A) Shaw - Depay - Ighalo

    B) Darmian - Mane - Deeney

  23. Four Four Boyz
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Sakho or Diouf folks?

    1. tommys
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Diouf

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years

      Sakho, if you have Payet then Diouf

  24. AshKetchum

    Pelle/gomis/rooney

    Used transfer for gw3 so m -4 already
    Still 2.4 in bank

    Confused if i shud transfer ritchie --> payet
    He played well against liverpool so i thought of givin him another shot

    After 3rd week lookin to get aguero nd another city player (suggestions needed)

    How does it look so far?

  25. The Governor
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Which, of any of these, are likely to double rise this week?

    A) Kolarov
    B) Darmian
    C) Shaw

  26. ipswichboy55
    • 15 Years

    Why so many people shipping Callum Wilson out after two games. Got a feeling he is gonna start getting goals so he is a keeper for me at the mo.

    1. AshKetchum
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Ikr even ritchie was on roll against liverpool!

  27. Amateur Pundit Zan

    Hazard > sanchez worth a hit or a symptom of the madness that has taken hold round here?

    1. Ruth_NZ

      The latter.

    2. BDMC5

      Dont do it is my advice. Im holding Haz this week.

    3. Ludo

      Don't think so. Though I am captaining Sanchez this week...

    4. Taffer

    To WC or not to WC this team

    Schmeichel Hennesey

    Koscielny Clyne Ward Francis Alderweireld

    Walcott Hazard Fabregas Mahrez Kouyate

    Kane Rooney Wilson

    2FTs and thinking of doing this for - 8

    Hazard > Silva
    Walcott > Puncheon
    Kane > Aguero
    Hennessey > Ruddy

    or

    Fabregas > Silva
    Walcott > Yaya
    Kane > Gomis
    Hennessey > Ruddy

    Any ideas would be welcomed
