The first members’ article of the week arrives this evening as we delve into the data from Gameweek 6. We check in on Chelsea and West Brom’s new attackers, assess Everton and Southampton’s lone strikers, and cast an eye over Liverpool’s main performers in light of Brendan Rodgers’ move to a 3-4-1-2 formation at home to Norwich.

    What should i do with Diouf? He didn't feature at all against Fulham yesterday.

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      There is a TV show called Room 101 this would be the best place to bring Diouf

      1. Gan Vaal

        Ditch then?

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          There is some great value strikers out there that will do a better job that him at a much better price

  6. Gigging Order

    Not my usual type of question on here, but I'm getting desperate....

    Anybody have tips on how to get rid of a mouse?

    I've been laying traps of various sorts for a week now, and every morning I come down to nothing, except for more droppings! Including on our dinner table....

    I'm doing everything that's recommended in terms of bait, positioning etc, but still can't catch it!!!

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 27 days ago

      get a cat?

    2. Epic Fail
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Use sticky traps. Works a treat.

    3. PINKFISH (SANCTIONED AND GA…
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Where there's one mouse, there swill be many many more soon.

    4. The Red Devil
      11 years, 27 days ago

      tempt them & stick them 😛

    5. johnbarnes
      11 years, 27 days ago

      call an expert

    6. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      11 years, 27 days ago

      Are you sure its a mouse?

      1. Epic Fail
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Could be the missus?

    7. sminkypinky
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Call Wallace and Gromit?

    8. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Use chocolate on the traps. Mice travel along walls so lay the traps against walls where you see activity. Try to block any holes with wire wool. Don't use poison from shops many are immune and just acts to feed them.

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        11 years, 27 days ago

        I'm afraid as pinkish has stated though it won't be a solitary mouse. If you live in terrace house it's likely the whole row will have them. Make sure any lose food is kept in plastic containers with a sealed lid

    9. Gideons Rolling Another One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Rat poison. Traps won't do anything!

  7. Nerazzuro
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Is Pedro a poor man's Hazard?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 27 days ago

      nope

      Pedro is a good option

    2. Epic Fail
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Yes. Confirmed.

    3. Moorinho
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Currently, Hazard looks like a poor man's Hazard.

      1. Nerazzuro
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Wise words from a gecko. Very true

      2. Heels_Over_Head
        11 years, 27 days ago

        he so lazy

    4. Nerazzuro
      11 years, 27 days ago

      pending injury news, im looking to do Benteke & Ozil to Ighalo & Pedro/Haz

      May go Pedro and pocket the change.

    5. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Only because he doesn't have pens. Otherwise there isn't much in it imo

      1. Nerazzuro
        11 years, 27 days ago

        True, not sure that justifies 1.8 more though. Watch him score a hatty against Newcastle now.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 27 days ago

          I'd agree that Pedro is the better value. I have Pedro myself.

        2. Woy of the Wovers
          11 years, 27 days ago

          At best it's a borderline call to get a better captaincy option.

  8. Heels_Over_Head
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Lescott to Azpi for -4 or take the price drop like a man and do it next week?

    1. Nerazzuro
      11 years, 27 days ago

      depends what u value more. 0.1 or 4pt

      1. Epic Fail
        11 years, 27 days ago

        This. Simple.

      2. Heels_Over_Head
        11 years, 27 days ago

        value both in the long run...

        probably time to start manning up... almost time to stop being hit crazy and discipline down into the season

        1. Nerazzuro
          11 years, 27 days ago

          Interestingly ive only made 3 transfers excluding my WC.

  9. The Red Devil
    11 years, 27 days ago

    when i say
    pelle is flagged at 75%
    i'm asking, should i sell him for wilson/ighalo?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 27 days ago

      you shouldn't feel compelled to as you'll likely round trip back to Pelle in a few weeks when his fixtures get good

    2. Nerazzuro
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Hows your bench?

      1. The Red Devil

        bassong,wanyama nyom

        1. Nerazzuro
          11 years, 27 days ago

          may be good to sell and upgrade bench next week

    3. Epic Fail
      11 years, 27 days ago

      My Magic 8 ball must have been broken, Sorry. 🙁

      Wait for news.

  10. makaveli70
    11 years, 27 days ago

    play Dier- MCI (H) or Sako- WAT (A) ??

    1. Gan Vaal
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Sako surely

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Sako

    3. Piggs Boson
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Sako

      1. makaveli70
        11 years, 27 days ago

        reason?

        1. Piggs Boson
          11 years, 27 days ago

          Dier doesn't have much attacking threat. Sako has it in abundance.

          1. makaveli70
            11 years, 27 days ago

            true, thanx all

    4. johnbarnes
      11 years, 27 days ago

      sako

    5. Epic Fail
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Sako

  11. Piggs Boson
    11 years, 27 days ago

    I could have this for this week:

    Myhill - McCarthy
    Kolarov - Dawson - Cathcart - Williams - Gomez
    Hazard - Sanchez - Yaya - Mahrez - Westwood
    Aguero - Martial - Wilson

    Then Gomez -> Moreno next week. I know it's different but do you like it? Don't know whether to go down the Hazard route...

    1. johnbarnes
      11 years, 27 days ago

      good route imo

    2. Epic Fail
      11 years, 27 days ago

      WC?

      1. Piggs Boson
        11 years, 27 days ago

        No, I used that GW3.

        Just 3 transfers for a hit. Martial, Hazard, Dawson in.

    3. Christina.
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Pedro not a better option now with Costa out?

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Need to see who gets the lone striker spot, don't we? Could be Remy, Falcao, or Hazard. But, I've come around to Pedro of late... he looks greedy.

      2. Piggs Boson
        11 years, 27 days ago

        This is my worry. But Haz looked terrific last game, Pedro was meh

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          11 years, 27 days ago

          I thought the opposite. Haz looked good for about 5 minutes to me whereas Pedro looked intent most of the match, albeit off target.

          Your eyes likely wiser.

          1. Piggs Boson
            11 years, 27 days ago

            I doubt that 🙂

            I just remember Pedro taking lots of long shots. Haz's play was quality.

        2. Christina.
          11 years, 27 days ago

          True.

          Pedro over Hazard allows me to get one of Mata/Mane as my 5th midf.

        3. Christina.
          11 years, 27 days ago

          Had Hazard's shot not deflected into the net would you have felt different?

          1. Piggs Boson
            11 years, 27 days ago

            Most of Hazard's goals over the years have had deflections off keepers and defenders, it's just the way he strikes the ball I think.

            Maybe your right. I don't know where I'd spend the cash otherwise though!

    4. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Looks good.

      I'm iffy on both Haz and Sanchez now, but they'll probably start firing soon since I own neither. Think the big guys will start banging them in sometime in the next few weeks, easier to be ahead of the curve.

      Would go elsewhere than Liverpool for your Gomez exit. Janmaat weeks 9 to 17 looks better.

      I'm on
      Begovic McCarthy
      Kolarov Cresswell Richards Janmaat Lescott
      KDB Payet Shaqiri Mahrez Westwood
      Aguero Martial Wilson

      Plans next few weeks as I can do them
      Lescott- > Azpi
      Richards -> Bertrand
      Shaqiri -> Eriksen/Mata
      Wilson -> Ighalo

      1. Piggs Boson
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Janmaat is a great shout, thanks. Will monitor next GW.

        Nice plan, a Chelsea defender is a good shout.

    5. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Yeah, solid team. I'm tempted to get Hazard in as well this week.
      Who's Cathcart?

      1. Piggs Boson
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Watford defender.

        More CBI than Prodl, and much less YCs than Nyom.

        1. Kevin Twine
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. johnbarnes
        11 years, 27 days ago

        harsh.

  13. Nerazzuro
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Random question. I've always been confused by the fractional betting odds. I use the decimal based ones. Can some kind soul please explain it to me?

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Just use the decimal odds. Would be pretty hard to explain fractional odds in a post.

      1. Nerazzuro
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Want to bet?

    2. Epic Fail
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Although saying that. The worst thing I ever did was to start using the decimal system. I used to be a beast at understanding fractions, then I tried decimals which was so much easier, now I've lost my fractional ability.

    3. Woy of the Wovers
      11 years, 27 days ago

      UK betting industry uses the old system to confuses punters and make more money.

      1. Nerazzuro
        11 years, 27 days ago

        this makes sense as i can never fully understand it. Decimal seems much more transparent.

    4. Camp No No
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I think the only difficulty with fractional really is that there are two systems: one includes your stake in the odds, the other doesn't. That confuses people, as you're not always sure which one is used and have to check it. In England the usual one is one where your stake is not included in the odds, so when you're sait your returns for a bet will be 1/2 your stake, that means 1/2 your stake + your stake.

    5. Camp No No
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I don't understand you guys (Nerazurro, Woy, Epic Fail). Can somebody please explain you to me?

    6. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I compile odds for a few bookies and I highly recommend using decimal odds - it's easier to spot value and generally just saves time.

      1. Nerazzuro
        11 years, 27 days ago

        What do u use to compile the odds?

        1. Kevin Twine
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          A model and my brain 🙂

              Lol, I don't think I should be posting that sort of info on a fantasy football forum.

              1. Nerazzuro
                11 years, 27 days ago

                Just tell me blonde or brunette?

    Thoughts?

  19. SpaceCadet

    Thanks for all the inputs. So if AOA chip is a no-no then who would you bench -

    a. ozil / mahrez / yaya

  20. andres

    Remy or falcao to play during costa ban?

    1. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Probably Remy.

    2. Piggs Boson
      11 years, 27 days ago

      It could be either. I wouldn't try and second guess Mourinho.

      1. andres
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Yeah..

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Costa out for 2 Prem games Remy will play 1 and Falcao will play 1

      How many points do you expect from this 2 game punt to justify it?

    Highest scorer in LAWR 4, but down to 7th. I never have much luck with H2Hs...

        Nice 😀

          ...getting back to Pedro vs Hazard...

          Pedro has corners to potentially counter Haz's penalties...?

          1. Piggs Boson
            11 years, 27 days ago

            True. I'm torn between them.

            I can see a Coloccini conceded pen coming up though 😉

            And when Haz gets returns he gets baps.

  22. Kevin Twine

    Vardy or Martial?

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Both

  23. S.Kuqi
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Bertrand dropped to 5.3. Surely tempting option after Chelsea game. No fear of rotation, far more attacking than Cedric.

    Should be few cs after gw 8 LEI,liv,BOU,sun,STK,mci,AVL,cry

    1. S.Kuqi
      11 years, 27 days ago

      and Clasie should be back.

    2. Whats the Huth
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Agreed. He's looking a very tasty option now

    3. Nickofoz
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I wouldn't say he is more attacking than Cedric. But he is more nailed, more proven, not as much of a card magnet for only 0.3 more

  24. Whats the Huth
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Was planning on selling Huth for jags. But the stones injury throws it up in the air. Who would replace stones?

  25. Van Klinkert Delarosa

    How many players is currently on the 'borrow' time in your team.

    Mine would be Darmian and Sanchez.

    * Borrow time = looking to shift but give them 1/2 more chances.

    1. Whats the Huth
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Huth. He's outta my team ASAP.
      I have Sanchez but I view him as a season keeper... So far. His stats are outrageous

    2. Piggs Boson
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I'm happy to keep Sanchez while other big hitters are't performing. Shifting Darmian though.

    3. PINKFISH (SANCTIONED AND GA…
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Montero, I've been very patient with him and he's hit the beans on toast 3 times.

      1. SpaceCadet
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Complete waste. Just took him out for a hit

        1. PINKFISH (SANCTIONED AND GA…
          11 years, 27 days ago

          Soton should be his cup of tea.

      2. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        11 years, 27 days ago

        You must have a very different team than the rest of us.

    4. Joggers Nipple
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Sanchez.
      Benteke went
      Richards is uninspiring but no priorty

      1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Richard already gone from my team.

        3-2 after leading 2-0 against Leicester was the final straw.

    5. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Clyne only got him last gw and he has 1 more chance

      Oh and Aguero of course

      1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Yeah, this too.

        If he can't scores in his favorite fixture, I'm getting rid.

  26. Piggs Boson
    11 years, 27 days ago

    If Jevans stays injury free, I think he's a better option than Dawson. More baps. Big IF though.

    1. OPTA FPL
      11 years, 27 days ago

      1 game a week, no pressure like at United

      1. OPTA FPL
        11 years, 27 days ago

        he will avoid injuries

  27. TotalJustice
    11 years, 27 days ago

    need some help with this lot guys..

    Schmeichel/ McCarthy
    Kolarov Darmian Gomez* Richards Targett
    Silva* Sanchez Mahrez Ayew Westwood
    Kun Gomis Benteke*

    1FT 0.1 ITB

    1) benteke > Ighalo(good form nd fixtures) /Vardy(leicester scoring loads) ???
    2) Silva > Payet or KDB ??? (If Silva out) for -4
    3) Gomez > dawson for -8

  28. Shiva_venky
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Need a defender. Evans, Dier or Cathcart for a hit ?

    1. Rainmaster
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Why a hit in the first place?

    2. PINKFISH (SANCTIONED AND GA…
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Play the OOP Dier, has looked great lately in Poch's system and a goal threat.

  29. Rainmaster
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Chadli to:

    A) De Bruyne
    B) Payet
    C) Hazard

    1. Joggers Nipple
      11 years, 27 days ago

      A if no other MC mid.
      C if you do have

    2. La Roja
      11 years, 27 days ago

      C

    3. waputs101
      11 years, 27 days ago

      B

  30. Shiva_venky
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Go for Haz

    1. La Roja
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Ok

    2. Rainmaster
      11 years, 27 days ago

      hmm.. I'm not too sure actually how Haz and Chelsea will play in absence of Costa. They seem to be coming back to form but city and in particular kdb looks like they are red hot in form and may provide greater bang for the buck!
