There’s no doubt Eden Hazard has been one of the biggest disappointments during the opening four Gameweeks of the campaign. Last season’s PFA Player of the Year was handed an 11.5 price tag in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) this summer, but with just a single assist so far, has seen his value drop to 11.4, with over 592,000 FPL bosses transferring out the Belgian since the start of the season.

After averaging 6.1 points per appearance in 2014/15, that figure is down to 2.5 points per outing in the early days of the new season. With Chelsea’s star man once again in the top five for transfers out this week, tonight’s members article compares his statistics to the previous one as we look to see why the Belgian is struggling to scale the heights of Chelsea’s title-winning campaign.

    Assuming both Haz and Payet have another uninspiring display this GW, would you:-

    A. Haz & Pelle -> Cout & Costa

    B. Payet & Pelle -> Cout & Gomis

        No CHE then. Might be the theme nowadays.

          Doesnt really matter when your players are scoring pts 😛

        Only issue here I cannot afford even a 0.1 rise from Gomis for this to happen

          Hazard & Pelle to Sanchez and Gomis ?

            • 13 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            That can be done too. Just thinking that Cout can score good points in GW6 & 7. Cheers for the thoughts guys.

    As a Hazard and Benteke owner this is depressing.. missed the game last night and assumed that the goal meant hazard had found some form. seems he was still poor though 🙁

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      🙁

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        2 managers calling out his poor peformances in the span of 10 days.. not looking good 🙁

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          tbh I just want his FPL points, and I wouldn't care if he's the worst player of the night. But hey, I'm no CHE or Belgium manager though.

          1. Valar(Keith)
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            No points and he's playing poorly though.... worst case scenario at the moment

          2. Valar(Keith)
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            That being said i'm keeping for a week or two and hoping he turns his form around with all these kicks up the ar$e he is getting of late

            1. NABIL - FPL otai
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              Might follow you. Wish his price is kinder, so that it would've affectd my team as much.

              But then again i still got Silva and Kun 😆

              1. Valar(Keith)
                • 16 Years
                10 years, 5 months ago

                if i swap him for Pedro i can get Sterling/City mid for Chadli. Cant afford a City mid otherwise. It is very tempting i must admit

                1. NABIL - FPL otai
                  • 13 Years
                  10 years, 5 months ago

                  Yeah it's tempting. Pedro looks very lively and he's clinical and no ball hog - very good for FPL.

                  See top post. If I ditch him, maybe I'll go Cout way given LIv's tasty home fixtures.

                  But then I started with 3 SOT & WHU due to home fixtures. When will I learn my mistakes.. 🙁

      That daily mail format 😯 .. yuck. They are direct quotes from Wilmot though. so the credibility of the site does not matter

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        We should have a designated poster who does summaries of any football news from the Daily Heil. Saves the rest of us infecting our computers by going there!

    3. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      i dont think hazard had many more points at this stage of last season then look what happened.

    4. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Very concerned as a Hazard owner!

      Do we stick to him or swap for Pedro and save some money?
      Or do we swap for Sanchez who seem to have found his feet!

      These are the kind of posts that should be upvoted.

      Useful information folks might otherwise miss. When people sort articles by "discussion rating" upvoted items come first so it helps those who use that method (think admins/mods/long-time users) to find useful info if you upvote useful info.

    Is it ever worth using WC just so save a few .0s to use for players you might want in the future?

    2. Bggz

    So just a week ago there was a hot topic regarding 'Did we make a mistake selling Rooney' after his CL hattrick.

    Now there's a hot topic called 'Is Rooney no longer a striker?'

    Classic case of kneejerking. It's issues like this that gives glimpses into the kneejerk nature of many who use this site, that are 'encouraged' by hot topics such as these. Ruth got some heat for his recent post, but stuff like this just adds more credibility to his cause.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Hey there Shifty.

      Not sure what you're ranting about lol. But hey, the kneejerkers need something to feed upon.

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        hey Nabil. did you miss Ruth's mega thread?

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          I think so. Have any link?

          1. Shifty

            buckle up! http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/11166214

            Note it's not made a hot topic because of its controversial nature...but it is a hot topic in my eyes. I disagree with his opening question but he does raise very valid points about the culture and mindset of this site (note i use the word site as I do believe we have a very strong core community but majority are non-regulars who come and visit once in awhile to get an RMT).

            1. NABIL - FPL otai

              Thanks Shifty. You're the man.

              Will give it a read after taking my lunch now 😉

              That takes a while to read 🙁

              A different view for sure but too opinionated for my taste : lol:

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Sometimes its overthink. Look at the schedule, the opponents, underlying stats etc.

      I watched 2 full games of Man U. Rooney looked gash. Sold him.

      It doesnt always worked out but sometimes just watching a bit of football and making your own judgement is the way to go.

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I disagreed with Ruth's call for banning RMTs and that FFS bandwagons have a wider effect on the game's price movements, but he's got a very valid point regarding the herd mentality that shepherds the non-regular posters toward a very small crop of players.

        There is a very strong culture of kneejerking on this, but yea at times it is really over-thinking when it can be as simple as 'Rooney is crap - sell' or 'well, Walcott still isn't starting - sell', 'Aguero will come good - keep', 'Hazard is not worth 2 million more than Pedro - swap'

        😀

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          This is perfect-
          'Rooney is crap - sell' or 'well, Walcott still isn't starting - sell', 'Aguero will come good - keep', 'Hazard is not worth 2 million more than Pedro - swap'

          All true and doesnt need endless hand wringing to decide.

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Rooney brace this week would be followed by "Is Rooney essential" .. Agreed.. no one has any patience this year.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Not me with Hazard 😉

        1. Shifty
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          well, Hazard has proven his effectiveness on the pitch and as an FPL pick - there's nothing wrong with being patient with him.

          We were excited about Rooney's prospects in preseason, but just 2 games is enough to see he's lost that touch needed to be a lone striker. These 2 hot topics i mentioned are just laughable and sometimes we really need to get a grip.

      2. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I find that highly unlikely. Anyone can tell Rooney is not in form and when he's not in form we know not to get him. He's a streaky player and is a player who hasn't looked all at home up front for LVG this season.

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Rooney is an extreme example. Any player that has not averaged more than 7 ppg(not sustainable for most over the long term) has been criticized and transferred in/out like crazy

      I agree with the current HT but disagreed about whether we'd regret selling him. It was Brugge, people took it way too seriously.

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        just seen this - sorry for the late reply.

        Yup, the current HT is more rational. The previous HT was a joke. Couldn't believe it was a hot topic.

    thoughts on what to do with transfer this week?

    2.0m ITB
    A. Gomez -> Alderwerield (or some other defender in 5m range)
    B. Payet -> Pedro
    C. Depay -> Pedro

    Current team:
    Butland (McCarthy)
    Kolorav / Shaw / Gomez / (Westwood) / (Steven Taylor)
    Sanchez / Silva / Depay / Mahrez / Payet
    Aguero / Wilson / (Watmore)

        Is Evans going to start? How nailed is he?

          The best they've got ino. Wasn't cheap so can't imagine he's not expected to play.

          1. sleecc
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            So you think Evan is the best among the WBA defenders? Chester is coming back from injury, will this make any changes?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years

              Probably best to wait and see but I'd put Evans above Chester

      @JamesMartin013: @BenDinnery Any Montero update?” [Thigh] scan came back clear. Expected to return in GW5 #Swans

    Considering going All Out Attack GW5:

    Fab
    Kompany Richards
    Sanchez(c) Mahrez Yaya Ayew Payet
    Kun Gomis Wilson

    Bench: Myhill, Darmian, Gomez and Whittaker.

    Good idea?

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Is it madness to start Butland (ars) instead of Ruddy (Bou)?
    Home match against a promoted team should be the obvious clean sheet option, but I really can't see Bournemouth not scoring and as a Wilson owner I want him to continue in his rich vein of form. Stoke are highly likely to concede as they haven't kept a clean sheet yet, but Butland has much higher save point potential and if Stoke somehow keep out the misfiring Arsenal attack then he could easily get a double figure haul.

    1. sleecc
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I have Butland, and I am starting him. I cannot believe teams like Stoke away to Emirates will not want to defend. I think he will get some save/bonus points if no CS.

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      well given arsenal have drawn a blank in 5 of their last 6 premier league games at the emirates, it might not be the worst idea

  16. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Just checked prices after a week and Whittaker hasn't fallen yet!

  17. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard and Mertz are my big concerns atm.
    After Wilmott's and Mou's comments, I am worried for him. Will that motivate him or the contrary?

    Is Mertz match-fit? Was he on bench for Germany?

    I am thinking of swapping Hazard to Sanchez, who seems to have found his feet!
    Or get Pedro and save some money and keeping a Chelsea attacking option!

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      hazard has scored two goals in two games for belgium during the break, so maybe he is rekindling some form...mertesacker retired from international football after the world cup, he should have recovered from his illness by now...

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Yet, according to Wilmott, he was the 'worse player of the afternoon'.

        Added to the concern on Hazard, Alexis seem to be up and hitting. I'm seeing him on the scoresheet for the weekend. Should I go for alexis before he's hit with a price-rise?

        Concerning Mertz, will he start? Gabriel proved very solid last game out!

        1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          if thats your gut feeling, go for it...alexis will score well

          yeah can't be certain due to gabriel keeping 2 clean sheets in a row, but i think wenger prefers mertesacker still...can only wait and see

          1. Eze Really?
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            This. But having a 5.5 defender as a risk is dangerous. Having said that I flew with Kolarov and its paid off so far.

  18. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Injury news on qualifiers?
    Tekkers 45 min? etc.

    1. Gloria Kanchelskis

      Off form. No injury as far as I'm aware

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        This. Belgium coach criticised his performance, see above

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          A mixture of form and injury care then?

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      think that was because he just returned from injury, and belgium were struggling in the first half too...

      mahrez started for algeria

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years

        Thanks and for Mahrez too. i have him.

    3. Valar(Keith)

      Belgium manager confirmed no injury.. just subbed him cause he was the "second worst player on the pitch after Hazard" in his words.. He ll be fit for the weekend

      1. Eze Really?

  21. gunnerboy
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    On a WC. Thinking of going for Cech rather than an Arsenal defender. So difficult to choose though.

    A: Cech
    B: Bellerin

    1. sleecc
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      A, at least very nail.

      1. gunnerboy
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        True, there is always a chance Debuchy will take Bellerins place. With Cech I will never have to worry.

    2. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I like bellerin. But if you have other defenders you like to play, then go Cech

  22. That Fantasy Guy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Hi all thoughts on the following would be appreciated. Tryna get in early.

    Myhill - ruddy
    Muniesa - Richards - Kompany - Francis - Williams
    Sánchez - toure - depay - mahrez - Westwood
    Pelle - gomis - aguero
    0.2 it
    2Ft

    Do I...
    A. Pelle and depay to Wilson and Pedro
    B. Pelle and toure to Wilson and Pedro
    C. Use 1 Ft only and get couthino next gameweek?
    D. Other
    They feel so template though and I'm not overly keen on getting rid of depay yet but I'm open to any transfer advice.
    Thanks

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      A would be my choice

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks

    2. sleecc
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Just Pelle to Wilson, if you want to keep Depay.

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Keep. Toure 1 more week? This could work thanks

    3. Gloria Kanchelskis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      A for me. I don't think Depay is able to pick a pass and takes on too many long range attempts.

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        That's true. Just can't shake the feeling that he will come good eventually but probably not consistently. thanks though. He may still leave my team yet

  23. 50pipsDaily
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Here's my WC defense:

    Mignolet / McCharty

    Kolarov / Noughton / Evans / Muniesa / Oxford

    0.0 itb, good to go?

  24. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Who's the best DEF option to replace Mertz?
    I'd prefer a 4.5 - 5.0 def.. with CS prospect or attacking returns!

    My other DEF are; Kompany, Clyne, Targett, Richards and Butland.

    I'm thinking of Francis/Martin/Ward

    1. Gloria Kanchelskis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      JEvans

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Is he a sure starter and nailed?

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Dawson imo

    3. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      How do you have 5 other defenders?

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I included Butland, just in case!
        Don't want to double on Stoke def.. Else i'd have gone for Muniesa! 🙂

  25. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Myhill / McCarthy
    Kolarov / Gomez / Targett / Francis / Muniesa
    Sanchez / Silva / Pedro / Chadli / Milner
    Aguero / Wilson / Jerome

    1 FT, 0.1m ITB.

    Would you make any changes? Playing 3-5-2 in most weeks.

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Only really Milner in there that i dont particularly like. Get Maherez and then have some cash for upgrades?

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers! Not so sure on Mahrez. Might as well wait for a week on that?

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      would look to get rid off milner soon, tempted by the palace mids once their fixtures turn...there are a number of possible moves you could make, but saving the ft and getting one more gw worth of data will probably benefit you most

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Sako as from after the next GW seems tempting.

      2. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers! Yeah, waiting seems like the right move.

  26. Joggers Nipple
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    I actually have no real question! Just bored at work and thinking future plans

    Butland/ Mc Carthy
    Williams/Kolorov/ Targett/ Richards/Gomez
    Pedro/Sanchez/Maherez/ Westwood/ Yaya
    Aguero/Gomis/Wilson

    0FT 2.9million itb

    Longer term
    Yaya to Silva looks on the cards
    Gomis to Benetke is affordable as well as that move. As much as Gomis has done me well i am still not convinced long term by him. Just thinking out loud. Targett will prob stay, get a 4.5 later in the season when team value up

    Any thoughts at all really welcome.

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I have Silva and Tekkers already so I must think like you. I was probably too early.

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        thanks, can only do now as i went Hazard to Pedro so have the cash. Always wanted Silva but had no money before

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      everything looks in order atm...gotta hope nothing untoward happens so that those luxury moves can become a reality, although we know fpl plans rarely run smoothly 😀

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks, if i can survive a few weeks and have Silva in there i will be happy, maybe KDB if he starts on fire. Prob Silva

  27. Your Mum Zohore
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Hey guys, thinking of using my WC, thoughts about the team?

    Cech (Hennessey)

    Azpi Kos Kolarov (Francis Targett)

    Silva Ayew Pedro Mane Mahrez

    Kun Wilson (Graham)

    Too much MC cover?

    Could do:

    Silva + Kos => Sanchez + Cedric

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Dont WC
      3 MC is fine
      Kos to a 4.5 and Graham up would tempt me

      1. Your Mum Zohore
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Planning go 3-5-2, hence the cheap 3rd option up top.

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I can't see any reason to WC. Your ideas are sideways moves IMO.

      1. Your Mum Zohore
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry, I may have worded my post wrongly, this is my WC team, pre-WC team is:

        Myhill Schmeichel

        Kolarov Cedric Ivan Francis S.Taylor

        Hazard Ozil Cabaye Mahrez Wanyama

        Kun Benteke Sakho

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Maybe me!
          I would not really want the following players in my team.
          Myhill
          Cedric Ivan Francis Saylor
          Haz
          It would be easier to correct your defense rather than WC.

  28. PINKFISH (SANCTIONED AND GA…
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    I know this has been beaten to death but I've just sat through the replay of New v Ars, so have to vent it. If Walnuts gets put in his correct position again, ahead of Ox, I will get hm over Caz. What is it with this nonsense of not using your best C/F in Giroud every game?

    Walnuts should of scored twice in that game actually but couldn't deliver, Sanchez would make a better striker than him in my book. As a winger though, he looks almost top drawer and is better than Ox, who I am not diseminating, as I like him too.

    Lost count of all the yellows, but what I did take from it is how well New defended the barage for most of the game with ten men. The red card was correct as I saw it, as the man only had eyes for the guys leg__Crazy challenge!

    And to finish my long wind__New were very dangerous at times on the break and Ars were by no means dominant as they should of been. One moment when Mbemba came charging out of defense, walzing through the Ars m/f like Pele only to be disposessed on the edge of ars's box before he got a shot away. That would of been some goal.

    Player that stood out for me for New was Thauvin, though a big shout out for Krul.

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Walcott is not a natural striker. He is a poor finisher. His best position is out wide.

      Many disagree i know but just my opinion.

      1. PINKFISH (SANCTIONED AND GA…
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Totally agree and boy he has some pace.

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      You mention the 2 players I think that will really make their mark.
      Thauvin and the Ox are special players and I think the Ox, now over his injuries will eventually make the difference for Arsenal.

      1. PINKFISH (SANCTIONED AND GA…
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, he's solid but Walcott is better from what I've seen in the past and needs to start there and give up this lunacy striker ambition.

    3. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      it's gonna be fun if giroud gets injured, hoofing up balls for theo

      1. PINKFISH (SANCTIONED AND GA…
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Giroud is their best option at present and on his day scores great goals, but to balance that up he should have scored a sitter in the dying stages of that game but Donked it.

    4. Bggz

        and manager said he was so bad, he pulled him at the half

        manager also said Hazard was his worst player on the pitch, but left him because he knows he can turn up near the end of the match, as he did
