After assessing the Defenders and Midfielders over the first four Gameweeks, our latest members articles focuses on the forwards. We turn our attentions to Bournemouth, Stoke and Swansea’s in-form frontmen, whilst we also analyse Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool’s strikers after disappointing starts to the season.
though Wilson will soon rise by .1 in price... But I still wants to look at any other better option(better value). Right now I have Pelle.
I cud have taken wilson @ 4.5 before break but waited to see more options.
Any thoughts lads.
Which Wilson? You refer to the wrong Wilson, I guess.
wilson bournemouth striker
sorry I meant 5.5 ...typing mistake.. 😛
my team for the weekend
Schmeichel
Smalling Darmian Kompany
Ayew Toure (C) Mahrez Sanchez
Wilson Agüero Gomis
Subs : Myhill, Amavi, Coquelin, Souare

how is it ?
Potentially a bit risky doubling up on Utd defence?
McCarthy

Subs Butland Richards Westwood Gomez
0.5 ITB, 1 FT. What to do this week?
I posted this earlier but got called away so couldn't judge the answers. Original post and guesses here:
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/11179323
Diva is the closest with one correct answer...harder than I thought! Will be back soon with the answer.
Quiz question - no googling (as it would be extraordinarily easy to find this out).
Who were the first players from the following clubs to win the PFA player of the year. Small clue, the award was first given in 1974 so not all are contemporary names. Two are still active in the Premier League this season.
Liverpool
Man Utd
Arsenal
Tottenham
Chelsea
Keegan
Hughes
Brady
Klinsmann
LampardTwo correct!
Brady for Arsenal and Hughes for Man Utd.Ok - try again
If not Keegan then Dalglish
Sheeingham ???
DrogbaNone correct.
For Chelsea it's Terry imo
Terry is correct.
yay!
Barnes
Hughes
Brady
Hoddle
GullitHughes and Brady corrrect.
Have just looked it up on Wikipedia. Have heard of all of them, but would never have guessed some of them.
Should be Liverpool, was unstoppable at that time.
Ardiles
Rush
Hughes
Brady
Ardiles
Terry
Keegan
Hughes
Brady
Archibald
TerryOk, I'll give the answers as the most gettable have been gotten.
Liverpool - Terry McDermott
Man Utd - Mark Hughes
Arsenal - Liam Brady
Spurs - Pat Jennings
Chelsea - John Terry
We would have been here for a while guessing the Liverpool winner.Good quiz - cheers
Ayew or Pedro?
Ayew (better value for now)
Hi
Any of you fantasy fanatics know when the champions league game will open?
I think Sterling is ruining Kun.
Against Watford...
Sterling: 13 touches in box, 3 shots in box
Aguero: 4 touches in box, 2 shots in box
Get out of Kun's box!Trying to forge a place for himself..
If those other 10 touches were passing to Kun....
Wonder if KDB will do the same!
It's the arsenal midfield syndrome. All five of those big hitters at city aren't going to score 200 points. They will share the love. You don't want to wish for it, but with big teams a few injuries is the best thing that can happen to a fantasy manager.
I agree with you but surely the striker in each team should get the lions share.
At City yes, Arsenal no. Giroud plays wit his back to goal much more than Aguero and brings his midfielders into play more often. That said City will score 10-20 goals more than Arsenal so their mids should keep up with Arsenal's mids even if not keeping up with their own striker.
Yep I'd agree with that.
Last match he did
Kun searched for the ball and looked lost, especially in the second half when City changed to 442Hold your horses GB its still early doors.
Part of that is because he's been playing as a striker in a 442 some of the time.
Bottomed
Bench one -
a. Morgan
b. Shaw
c. GomezC
Cheers, currently have it on C. Might just stay with that
C), imo.
Gomis or Ayew
ayew
Gomis long term. Think he'll be more consistent and is main man. Ayew short term. Been watching him for years and he's a streak player.
Interesting to know he's a streak player. He looks class though and I'd want him over Gomis
Check out the bonus point scored by gomis and ayew... gomis gonna score no doubt but ayew will be der behind it.. it will be better to have bonus point scorer in team 😉 dats my thought
Gomis.
Very interesting that I have Gomis and was planning to swap him for Ayew in the coming weeks. :/ Ayew gets in the box a lot plus he gets 5 points for a goal and points for CS too. Will be watching them both.
i agree
Ayew easily. Long term. Stats don't lie

Go to m.fantasy.premierleague.com
Log in
Then save the page on your homepage
It's exactly the same as the app I think 🙂Its better than app 😀
Haha I wouldn't know - just see a few asking if it's worth buyin every now and then. There's the answer - no.
Can't find "detailed stats". Is it in there somewhere?
Is this legal ?
I assume you're joking,
But if not, all you're doing is bookmarking a website.Ok thanks. I wasn't joking.
No worries 🙂 it's handy.
I've reported him. Don't worry,
Called the police too?
Or are they knocking on my door for something else.....
I would like to do two transfers with 4 point loss coming GW because of my forwrd line up is bad, A) kane > gomis and rooney > aguero B) kane > gomis and ramsey > pedro C) rooney > gomis and ramsey > pedro any suggestions? » Read
I prefer A
Thank you so much mate..... 🙂
A by a mile
really appreciated ur reply....going for A
A
sure will do A tnx mate for ur valuable reply 🙂
Swap coutinho for an arsenal mid this week? Or leave him on bench, play shelvey and save transfer? Can't afford alexis. Although other option is bringing in Lens for Shelvey.
Thanks.Save
Shelvey is in the form of his life.
Was the best player for England against StMarino IMOBeing in fine form doesn't always guarantee FPL points though.
True. But Shelvey has a decent chance of offering assist and goals as much as any other player given the chance.
Just to conclude saying that in case of doubt, he can play Shelvey.For sure, Shelvey has great stats so it must be a matter of time before he brings in the points.
All good points. Will likely save. Come on Jon jo, don't fail me.
There you go, he failed ya! 😉
Who's the best defender FPL-wise to get in among the below;
A) Francis - BOU
B) Martin - NOR
C) Evans - WBA
D) Ward - CRY
E) Nyom - WAT
F) Prodl - WAT
G) Haidara - NEWA or C
D, G
C, A, D are my top 3 in order.
I could tell you how long a piece of string is, if you'd prefer?
For me, A, C, D in that order
Ok, so the common denominator among the replies would be A, C and D then.
Thanks guys! 😉A) or F). D) as well, if you haven't got the goalie ...
Yep, I've got McCarthy but don't know how long he will be keeping his place anymore. 😀
C
Tempting.. but will have to wait and see if he starts.
Best differential cap option out of this lot?
a. ozil
b. Payet
c. Mahrez
d. Yaya
e. CostaC
B
Hey HOH
Not seen you in a while
trust life is treating you better?Getting there...
How you be?
You back in Knocks & Niggles this season? Draft during 2nd international breakH O H
yes -belated reply
very good thanks-going for one of those 'interviews for my own job today'ie there's a culling on the go-feeling positive ,the book is probably already written and unsure if my face is fitting,hayho
yes happy for knocks and niggles -currently propping up the table with champ and zasa in the early stage of another fantrax with Mr Balders riding high!!
Costa
D), imo.
B.
Did anyone see anything in Ozil as a decent FPL prospect last night? I thought he looked reasonably bright but never likely to play a killer pass or shoot. He seems to play a similar position for arsenal too - can't see him racking up the points.
Thoughts?Agreed
I feel the same about Hazard too this season.
Haz on penalties is what's making me keep him.
I imagine Ozil would be frustrating to own.
He'll be involved but I worry about his attitude to goal scoring, he seems to be the sort of player that prefers getting assists.
Will need to check his contract.
Maybe he's getting a better bonus for assists than goals.. 😀He's been asked to score more goals but he has his own style
if u can afford hazard i would prefer pedro..watch him he gonna score more points than hazard this season .... my assemption 🙂
Help needed.. On WC.. Best cheap rotating defenders and GK's for the upcoming fixtures..
francis and krul
Azpi > Kolorov or save transfer
Could go either way tbh. Its a gut call.
Yes
That Kane stat might be good for Son punts
It's a shame Son's down as a forward, he's an inside winger, no?
On my watchlist..
anyway I'll need a replacement for Pellè soon! 😀
Is getting sterling ahead of silva/Yaya/kdb madness? I think I'll do it even though I have the funds to get any of them ..
I think he's the best City midfield option tbh. I've had him since GW1 and he often gets a stint up front in a 442. Can't ask for more really.
He could well prove to be so. Though I favour Silva, possibly wrongly, due to his central position and previous returns.
Central or LM
yeah sorry, I meant central in a 4-2-3-1 which I envision them playing more often this season.
They have been mixing it up so far so we'll see if that continues particularly with KDB arriving.
I wouldn't say it's madness. But it's strange if you can afford silva with rest of your team.
I'm considering swapping him for Silva with that up front potential. Is that madness?!
This feller looks fit ...
https://twitter.com/CPFC/status/640889889932857344Arent you married?
He will need to be given who they play next up 🙂
This is true ... 😀
That's a problem
Oh dear - going to be tears for my goalkeepers this week I can see it 🙂
Might even go all out for a £5m+ goalie.Fabianski then.
Lindegaard or DDG look to be my options out. Not sure yet.
is Targett going to play this week ?
Is Bertrand back in training?
There seems to be some sort of problem there ...
Which 3rd defender should I go for on wildcard?
Fabianski
Kolarov Cedric [?????] 4.0 4.0
Money is no object.
Currently thinking Evans at WBA assuming he'll play...what do you think?Azpi, Bellerin or Evans. Evans could be a worry with no sub defender.
*chuck Shaw inbetween Azpi and Bellerin
That's my concern too. Have shipped Ivanovic and vowed to avoid Chelsea until they get their act together...
It's a toss up really.
Why do you have Cedric in your WC team may I ask? Fixtures are awful.He was in my original squad. Keeping the faith as they seem to have turned a corner - and the fixtures aren't that bad surely? Good attacking stats too.
Ward or Koscielny, imo.
Yeah, Ward is a good shout for vastly improving fixtures and good goal scoring form - my only concern is that Pardew isn't setting Palace up for clean sheets. At all!
Morning DZ!
Find myself in the position of somehow having watched very little West Brom so far this season. Need to replace Mings (looks away embarrassedly) and think I'd like some West Brom in my defense.
Pick one for me and make a case.
I think I have the money to fit any of them into my squadEvans, new signing, should go straight in to back line.
So Olsson the odd man out and they end up with McAuley and Evans at back?
Wondering because McAuley probably a bit more of a chance of scoring off of set pieces, maybe?I can't say on attacking returns sorry.
Thx, appreciated
Would you, now?
WBA: SOT -107 avl 37 EVE -13 cpl -104 SUN 109 nor -47 LEI 65 mun -433 ARS -268 whm -137 TOT -138 liv -271Still yes 🙂
Blimey.
Sorry Doos but I think your numbers hugely underrate WBAs defence at the moment.
I know you do. And I am sorry - but I think that you are absurdly prejudiced.
I know we don't and wont see eye to eye on attacking stats and I've learnt to live with that, but can I ask what time period you take stats from to derive your team ratings?
Ticker - all of last Season, minus 4 matches, plus all of this Season so far.
End of last Season, 12 matches, and all of this, for defensive estimations ...Thanks for this, and I'm guessing correctly that as we go through the weeks this season you drop the oldest fixture from last season?
So Andy, which one is your pick?
As a fourth (and soon to be fifth) mid who would slot in when rotation favors, yeah, and in case Pulis defensive mojo gets back in gear.
Not gonna happen. Shambolic.
Okey doke,
Which of these (punty) options for a draft league:
A. Montero
B. Sako
C. Moses
D. Antonio
CheersSako
Cheers
A
still no Pedro rise, this is not funny anymore
I might bring him in on Friday knowing he wont rise
:@
😀
Are you planning on selling him
nope
Ok so I saw someone here say that all the FPL's official app does is provide a link for the mobile site. Well that's not true! Even if I am not on WiFi the app loads up in offline mode and I am able to view the fixtures of the WHOLE season, get to see my team etc.
Now getting to the point, I have the link for the FPL's official android app (for free). I hope I don't get sued for this. Can I share it here?better not to do!!! let them google and find it 😀
Well I getting bored here, thought may be pass on some sunshine! Nobody wants it I think.
I was*
Not a good idea. FFS and FPL are loosely associated with each other now. Not sister sites but perhaps their cousins got married. They're linked anyway so no, don't share.
Ok, that's what I thought before refraining from doing so.
Happy FIFA 16 demo day!
Meh.
If only I had the bandwidth to download the demo! ğŸ™
where is it..can u post the link???
It should be on Origin. Download Origin (google it) and it should show you FIFA 16 demo.
Boo!
1 FT. Any changes needed?
Myhill (McCarthy)
Francis, Shaw, Kolorov (Azpi, Huth)
Depay, Payet, Mahrez, Sanchez (Westwood)
Aguero, Wilson, Tekkers
Also, it is wrong to bench Azpi since I can't see Chelsea keeping a CS?
Morning all
dilemma... Sell or keep Bentekke?????????????
thinking of to sell him for Wilson. Worth?
Pls advise pundits!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers
Morning chaps,
Hoping a few of you might be able to lend some advice. I've got 2 FT's but can't see any real obvious more I want to make so therefore probably only looking to use juts one, unless anyone thinks two are needed.
My current team is:
Courtois / McCarthy
Lovren / Richards / Williams/ Targett / Kolarov
Hazard / Sanchez /Ayew /Mahrez / Westwood
Wilson / Aguero / Benteke
0.1ITB, 2FT's
What do you think?
Cheers,Well, Liverpool's defence looks like a mess now.
Lovren out for Evans?Bruce Almighty. 😕
3 clean sheets in 4 😕
not a bad shout, only thing thats is stopping me is the Norwich & Villa fixtures at home after this week.
It is a totally crap shout.
what would you recommend I do Doos?
Did you play Richards against SUN? If not, Richards to Francis.
Otherwise, Targett to Ward.No i played Targett, Kolarov & Lovren.
Really like Francis, helped by the fact he played with Mr Goater himself at my beloved Southend United. Will have a look at the fixtures and look into that move.
As much as I'd love to do Targett to Ward, unfortunately I can't afford it without using the other transfer.Right, well the first is definitely a goer.
BOU: nor 64 SUN 145 sto -81 WAT 68 mci -407 TOT -102 sot -231 NEW 188Don't really follow what the numbers mean? Sorry, even though I've been playing FF for a few years I'm not completely up to speed!
But yes had a look at the fixtures comparison and Francis is definitely the winner. Will do that move.
Cheers for the advice, appreciate it.Just seen Francis is on -95% on FPL stats, hopefully he drops before the end of the week and then can pick him up a little cheaper!
Hazard to Silva
