We delve into the Gameweek 3 data this evening in our first members article of the week. Up front, we assess Bournemouth, Chelsea and Liverpool’s lone forwards, whilst there’s plenty to analyse in the centre of the park, as we take a look at some standout statistics from Villa, Palace, United, West Ham and Norwich.
Good morning lads
RMWC
McCarthy Butland
Azpi Shaw Kolarov Francis Catchcart
Sanchez Maherz Pedro YYT Westwood
Augero Wilson Gomis
In this team which would you rather have:
A) Shaw - YYT - Gomis
Or
B) Gomez - Silva - Diouf
Thoughts please.
Hmmm. Close. In a vacuum, I'd prefer B, but maybe the overall balance is better with A.
B
Sako at 5.5 worth a punt?
Wait a couple of GW's
Potentially. Assess once Palace's fixtures improve.
Currently, there are better options
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Sako played for Hull at the end of last season didn't he? However, his last seasons stats don't come up in his history
No, he didn't play for Hull
Got my oranges mixed up. Played for Wolves, hence why he didn't have a history last year..
Fellaini at striker - good to go at 6.5
Mahrez -> Fellaini if United fail to buy anyone and Rooney gets injured.
Will he start?
Guys,
I don't know how to view stickies, what are the last price rises/fallers?

New post about a very strange team that is leading our league
http://www.triggerlips.com
Thought you were writing about Black United with all non white players. Currently OR1.
yea thought he was going to write about Black United too haha
Oh didnt know about that one. Have to laugh
had a good laugh with my friends as well. Guy must be so smug right now.
As a Wolves fan I'll say the positive and negative of getting Bakary Sako @5.5m
Positive: Cheap, very attacking, a match winner and fun to watch
Negatives: Lots of competition for place in midfield and might not be overly consistently so you need to be patient owning him.
Conclusion: He is worth investment so long as you don't mind so bench appearances and if you have a 5th midfielder like Shelvey who is more reliable.
The moment you have all been waiting for - FG's WC 😀
Butland
Kolarov, Dawson, Gomez
Sanchez, Pedro, Yaya Toure, Mahrez
Kun, Benteke, Wilson
Kasper, Anya, Francis, Nyom 0.1mI like that team tbh - Dawson will come good soon, WBA have a fantastic run of games.
With Kun and Benteke up top...I *might* consider downgrading Wilson (after you bank the 0.1m) to a fodder 3rd striker and upgrading Anya to go with a 3-5-2? If you do go with a 3-5-2, I would also reconsider Gomez in the team as you would need at least 3 super reliable options.
Hello DZ, would appreciate your advice on this joke of a team and the transfer options below
Pantilimon
Kolarov Koscielny Cédric
Hazard Özil Mahrez Chadli
Sakho Agüero Pellè
Subs: Rudd Targett Huth Bentaleb
A) Ozil + Sakho > Silva + Wilson (-4)
B) Chadli + Sakho > Yaya + Wilson (-4)
C) Ozil > Yaya free
D) Sakho > Wilson free
Or of course, save - play Targett/Huth if Sakho and Kosc are out.Hi Shifty.
Gotta be D for me. I also like A if your going for a bit of a risk.Hey FG - exactly what's in my mind at the moment. D for the patient, risk-averse approach. A to live a little 😀
Eriksen -> Coutinho
Or save FT.
Eriksen is facing a knee injury, although very good fixtures.
Seems like a decent idea. If Eriksen isn't going to pay I would not do it.
play* would*
Advice?
McCarthy/ Guzan
Gomez, Targett, Huth, Kolarov, Darmian
Sanchez, Haz, Depay, Mahrez, Barry
Aguero, Gomis, Wilson
Have 1FT and .7 Banked
I would save the trade mate. Use 2 next week
I would go haz--> sliva
Any news on Mane Surely he won't play
who to play? why?
A. Darmian(Swa)
B. Payet(Liv)
what haz have to do for price to rise back to 11.5??
Needs 47K buys. Currently being sold.
A 10+ haul against Palace and he'll be back up to 11.5 before deadline day.
hi mates haven't been on in a week
ive been decent opening but feel my defence was very weak so these team was created
Gks and defense same in both teams
Myhill Butland
Kolarov Bellerin Cedric Richards Francis
Team A
mahrez payet sanchez toure hoolahan
Kun Gomis Wilson
Team B(0.0 itb if I somehow had a 9.4 mid)
mahrez payet (mid less than 9.5) toure hoolahan
Kun Kosta WIlson
which to choose leaning towards b but what mid do I get and how do I get sanchez/haz in?Thoughts on this WC team? Which midfielder is most droppable?
Butland--McCarthy
Kolarov-Williams-Gomez-Francis-Targett
Sanchez--YYT--Ayew--Payet--Mahrez
Aguero--Gomis--Diouf
Appreciate it
Payet- team is in shambles
That team looks pretty great to me apart from the structure is a bit off perhaps.
Team looks fine save transfer
Would Watmore > Wilson be worth a hit
Can't call on your 5th MID or a defender from your bench?
Also---Watmore??
If no to the above, I suggest you monitor prices so you get him in before he rises.
There is one thing that I don't understand for years.
Why do FFS opt to plan things based on 6 weeks?
Why not 4 or 8 Gameweeks?
Can anyone enlighten me please?8 is too much. It's more based on the next 4 with 2 thrown in.
Thanks TM. I think 8 is too much as well.
Which looks better:
A) Costa and Coutinho
B) Benteke and Pedro
Thanks!A)
B atm
Lads I need to start 2 of 3 out of
Wilson Defoe Redmond??
Any ideas?if you would get any chelsea players, rank them in priority:
A. Hazard
B. Pedro
C. Costa
D. Courtois
E. any chelsea defenderACBDE
A
C
B
E
DDepends on who you have in your team. Costa for example would be the most important player to have if you didn't have Kun and trust his hammys. West Brom was a warning. Honestly wouldn't be surprised to see a hatty against Palace.

Twitter full of people who have played their triple captain chip on Aguero this week. I have him but I'd love him not to fire. I'm even tempted to captain Hazard or Silva instead. I doubt I'll have the balls in the end though.
It's ok, we'll catch up when the double game weeks are upon us, hopefully. I lost in ahead to head game last weekend to someone who triple captained YaYa. Annoying but in the long run I'm confident I'll finish ahead of him.
Guys,
I'm torn and I need advice. Last week i sought no advice and decided to keep Rooney ahead of Costa in my WC team, obviously an error.
Now I want to get rid of Rooney so I'm thinking Rooney/Ayew for Diouf and Pedro. Only problem is this will mean a 8 point hit. This is the only combination I'm happy with as it means I get a Chelsea attacker and I don't currently have one and Diouf has good games coming up.
My question is is it worth the 8 point hit? All advice welcome.
Obviously I'll do it after tomorrow nights game in case Rooney bags 5 or something, if I do do it at all.
Team is in a bit of a shambles....So many options...what to do?
A) Coates -> Sagna
B) Shaw -> Kolarov
C) Ozil -> Yaya
D) Mane -> Coutinho
E) Shaw & Ozil -> Sagna & Yaya (-4)
F) Ozil & Mane -> Silva & Chadli (-4)
G) Ozil & Mane -> Yaya & Coutinho (-4)
H) Ozil & Sakho -> Silva & Wilson (-4)
I) Mane & Sakho -> Yaya & Wison (-4)
Ruddy
Shaw, Bellerin, Targett
Hazard, Ozil, Mane, Mahrez
Kun, Benteke, Sakho
Rudd, Huth, Coates, Sinclair
Bank 0.7m, 1FTI like the look of G
F
With both West Brom and Stoke struggling in last nights games despite playing strongish teams are we looking at a low scoring game this weekend?
Surprised at the lack of love for Anya at 4.5. Looks a far better propsect than Westwood to me. Stats promising.
If you could be sure he'd play every week. I looked at him when wildcarding but Watford have many options. For a 4.5 I want someone nailed that can get the odd goal or assist and Westwood is that exactly.
I think he only played 27/44 games in the championship. Not 100% nailed.
who to play this week? why?
A. Darmian(Swa)
B. Payet(Liv)
leaning towards Payet but Liverpool got 3cs now, that D is tight!Bottomed out...

Bank 0.7m, 1FTWC?
It's tempting, but I feel I may have left it too late now.
Given the fixtures this week for Targett, Mane and Haz I'm toying with playing them this week and then wildcarding next.
E) should actually be Kolarov instead of Sagna, and there's also
J) Shaw & Mane -> Sagna & YayaIt's never too late too WC. I've seen lots of WC teams on here which look amazing. Even I'm WCing this week, and I have never used my WC before GW 30 in my "FPL Career"
Hi Jinswick. Happy new season to you!
I'm in a similar pickle to you and have lots of the same players. I'm also getting left way behind with TV (which seems to be moving much more quickly this year - I think?). I've actually just been tinkering with a WC team and am seriously contemplating hitting that button.
All of the options you have listed look good. Id probably go for B) myself.Hi AB, same goes to you!
Funny you should say that about the WC, I've been dithering on that myself this week also and am now talking myself out of it for leaving it so late. If Mane is confirmed fit for NOR then I think it makes sense to save the WC and do either B or C (or maybe H depending on Sakho news). If he's out then i think it probably has to be G or J (or maybe a last minute WC 🙂 )
If not this week, when do you plan on pushing the WC button?I have Mane and Hazard in my team also - so looking at this week in isolation I'm pretty happy with things. But its the rising cost of players and the bigger picture that is pushing me towards the WC. The problem is that the players that I want to get in (Kolorov, Silva, Sanchez, Wilson etc) are all going up so quickly that if I don't act now I'm not going to be able to afford them all.
Dilemma's, dilemma's...Mmmm, I want those 4 also. Since it is now Wed I think it's worth waiting for news on Mane and if he's out then take a 4 pointer to get 2 of the 4 players you mention. The most they are going up this week is another 0.1m each imo, so not disastrous.
Yeah, you're probably right. I have 0.2 left over with my preferred WC team at the moment - so I can probably afford to sit and watch for a little longer.
My headache would certainly ease if Hazard, Mane and Sakho played and scored some decent points this weekend! Fingers crossed
I) looks decent.
I'm in a similar position, did Mane and Sakho to Pedro and Wilson.
That's a nice move, but it would only leave me with Kun for WAT, which feels a tad light.
H or I for me.
Would you have a Man United defender on WC?
Tricky one. Not for me as I don't see any cleanies in the next 3 - swa, LIV, sot.
I can see them keeping CS's against Liverpool and Southampton tbh.
I dunno, I think Benteke will cause them a lot of problems.
Maybe SOT, but i think that's unlikely myself.
Yes - I think they'll remain fairly tight
Play three of the following:
A) Kolarov
B) Darmian
C ) Gomez
D ) Williams
E ) Richards
Or bench Payet and go for a back four?A & C for sure. Then either E or B. E shading it for me
Reckon united will score at Swans?
Hmmm, actually it's very tight between B, D & E. 3 sided coin toss!
ABC
ABC
Which option?
A) Shaw + Butland/McCarthy
B) WBA defender + Fabianski/McCarthy (Or another GK pairing)
Cheers 🙂A) with Kolarov/Cedric
Any danger McCarthy loses his spot once Speroni is back?I have Kolarov.
I said before the season started that Southampton will not keep many CS's with the absence of Toby/Clyne/Forster/Schneiderlin. Never considered Cedric as a good option, I still don't.
McCarthy is just going to be a bench fodder most likely, won't play him.I think they'll still be ok. It looks like they are signing Van Dijk who is decent, and once Berty is back it'll be:
Berty--Fonte--Van Dijk--Cedric
------Wanyama--Clasie
Fixtures aren't too bad either, and Cedric has good attacking stats.Still looks "meh" to me. Clasie is a terrible replacement for Schneidrerlin imo. Isn't defensive at all, more of a Deep Lying Playmaker.
I quite like the Butland/Ruddy rotation, but that will set you back an extra 0.5m
