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.
Simon Francis or Naughton for the next 2 months?
Francis has only one great fixture in the next two months, maybe two.
Naughton because he plays for a better team defensively and has better fixtures.
Francis is one of the best 4.5M defender in the game so far IMO. It's a bit of a mismatch comparing him to Naughton. I think Swansea will keep more cs during that period than the team that just won promotion this season.
Good point. Let me change my question. Prodl or Francis?
Naughton.
On WC... trying to be different...
Begovic 4.0
Dawson Evans Kolarov Martin Targett
KDB Haz Pedro Payet Westwood
Bojan Aguero Ighalo
0.0 ITB...
Didn't catch the mahrez train and trying to go without him... (big gamble i know)
Banking on chelsea to form it up
a side from that anything i should improve?
I like this - you know the risks, but i think there is good potential here. Good luck.
I would like to have some money in the bank though.
Hey Shifty, read you off to see Muse tonight? Enjoy. was thinking of flying up but flights so damn expensive from here as you know
Hey Sab - sorry stepped away from the computer. Yea very excited! I was desperate to watch and had actually already purchased tickets for the SG gig as BKK's wasn't announced until a week later.
Thankfully managed to sell off the SG ones. I'll let you know how it goes 😀
thanks!! yea i really wanted to save some cash but at least i have 4 decent def so hopefully i won't face any problem soon...
playing the big catch up game and gotta risk!
Mate i appreciate different but this is a little too much. A Pedro downgrade means Targett up and Bojan shifted for me.
With a 5th Mid like Westwood you need a better striker than Bojan in there. imothanks mate but bojan is on pen and stoke fixture is tasty! so tempting!
Fair enough, there is no definitive right or wrong! Good luck with it
Not sure if doubling up on Chelsea mids is ideal atm. Also taking up a fair bit of your cash.
yea but with good run of fixture + costa out... might be the time... big risk though
Saints have Bert back so Targett has shot his bolt.
yea.. got him at 4.0 so still some room to drop... also i think koeman still to find his best fullback... so mayb a small cchance to sneak in!
Stoke fan? Interesting to see that you've opted for Bojan. Am I not right in thinking he'd be prominently played in the number 10 role with Diouf up front?
yeaa he will be he hav pen in the pocket and i think injury a side he may be a wildcard at tht price!
Stoke turnin in barca B@!
😆
Barca B would beat the living shite out of Stoke. I would generally avoid Stoke players in FPL, like I avoid Sunderland and Newcastle players.
I like the differentials, just be prepared to shift Martin after 4 weeks.
Haz is gonna be up against Janmaat. Janmaat is an attacking full back and he spends more time in the opposition's half rather than his own. Haz likely to score imo
And Chelsea record @ Newcastle?
And Haz record with Costa-less Chelsea?
For every argument there is a counter arguement..
Janmaat is probably Newcastle's best attacker at the moment.. Hazard will have to spend a lot of the game tracking back and helping AzpilicuetaYeah, it's unlikely that Mourinho will let him just wait for the defence to get the ball to him. I remember one time he did just that, Mou wasn't happy.
Thing this is correct and if he doesn't stay more anchored against Chelsk they could run riot.
He was a lot of the problem in the Watford game and left acres of space and was always late getting back.
Any help please chaps? 1.4m ITB, 2FT. Unsure whether to keep or dump Gomis!
Gomez + Gomis > Evans + Martial for free? Or something else?
Mignolet
Kolarov, Darmian, Richards
Alexis, Mahrez, Yaya, Payet
Kun, Wilson, Gomis
(McCarthy)(Ayew, Gomez, Oxford)Gomez yes
Gomis, prob no. I got Martial but easy choice as had Benteke. Gomis some nice fixtures coming up, understand the temptation thoughYeah, Martial could have a field day against Blunderland but I guess Gomis looks the better over the next 6, especially with penalties!
Any other alternatives to Evans you'd recommend?I like Dawson more as hes less injury prone. Others like Evans for bonus. Has to be WBA defender really imo.
Total dull moves could be
Oxford to Dawson and Gomez to that 4.5 Watford defender. Ngsometing, cant recall the name
A real dull use of 2 FT but sorts your team right out
If I have ayew, which forward should I choose fro gw8-gw10 (until in wc)
1 gomis (TOT, STK, avl)
2 rondon (cry, SUN, nor)
Neither for me WBA don't score enough and as you Gomis I'd go for Martial/Wilson/Ighalo/Pelle
Martial fixtures gw8-gw10 are beyond appalling
2 FT
A) Silva + Oxford -> KDB + Zouma
B) Myhill + Oxford -> Begovic + Evans
C) Silva + Gomez -> KDB + Azpi (would leave me with 2 4m def and no money ITB)
Have exact cash to do all 3 so monitoring KDB price / Silva injury
like A) but worried of Zouma rotationBy the looks of those moves you have some cash in the bank? Oxford to Evans only do-able?
1.3m in bank. Certainly is doable but I don't want to double on WBA and think Chelsea will step up now.
Is Cedric ----> Bertrand a no - brainer?
its ok, but later
Bert just dropped to 5.3....and back playing tonight.
I want him gw 9 onwards
waste of a transfer for me, in all likelihodd cedric being dropped was tactical and especially with yoshida making that howler dont think his place will come under too much threat hereon out. Hes at least as attaking as bertie as well...
With no pressing transfers. And after Bertrand plays a full 90min and survives? Yeah. I'd do it. Looking at Targett>Bertie myself soon.
Not urgently.
Not sure on this one. If Cedric plays in the 'easier' fixtures then it's still worth saving the 0.3. Having a defender who's dropped for all the tough fixtures when his team concedes 2 or 3 is no bad thing.
If it indeed goes like that, and you have somebody decent on bench, it can be even good.
How long will silva be out? Worth a hit to change to KDB?
He is said to be fit. Don't think its worth a hit if Silva is fit.
Glad i have KDB though.
Liverpool 5 goals in 7 games
Lewandovski 5 goals in 9 minutesDone to death this one buddy.
Sorry just woke up.
Pool fan here so it double hurts.
Some nice stats on this. More than balotelli scored at Liverpool. More than bendtner in 3 years !
Why did i get blinded by fixtures and go bentteke last week?
It wasn't that bad pick. It turned out badly, because Benteke got injured, but that you could not have predicted.
So LFC have a better scoring rate 🙂
How many goals does ronaldo have ?Hmmm.... it reads quite clearly that LFC has the worse scoring rate, but whatever.
Just looking at the teamsheets from last night. Lennon playing RB for everton?
more like RWB or RM. Wide in a 3-5-2
Order of preference for defence
Azpi
Bertrand
Dawson
Evans
Go on give me your order.Dawson
Evans
Azpi
BertIn terms of value
^This.
I have Bertrand low cos he's not confirmed to play yet. I'd probably rearrange that to be :
Dawson/Evans
Azpilicueta
Bertrand
Evans/Dawson if Koeman confirms him fit and in line to start.Why would you go Brom over Azpi? Out of curiosity.
Think they'll get more CS for the money
A
D
E
BYou've already ordered it for me
Sweet

Dawson
Azpi
Bert
Evans

What do I do here this week?
Myhill - (Butland)
Prodl - Kompany - Kosc - (Williams - Gomez)
Yaya - Mane - Ayew - Mahrez - (Bentelab)
Aguero - Tekkers - Wilson
1 Ft and 4.4 ITB.Early team order and subs check
Butland
Kolarov Francis Prodl
KDB Sanchez Mahrez Payet
Kun(vc) Martial(c) Wilson
McCarthy Gomez Westwood Richards
Will start Gomez if we know the teamsheets before kickoff. Planning on Gomez -> Azpi next week. Would you go Dawson instead?Ditto(below)
I don't think Gomez will start so stick as is.
If you do here Gomez starts (LFC team sometimes gets leaked) then maybe start with him.
Ditto me. 🙂Nice little league we have set up. Hopefully Champ and Epic join soon.
Indeed 😀
Azpi every time if you're not concerned by cost.
Muchos gracias buddy.
Dawson should be in every team right now. I have no idea what's going on with Gomez...and no one else probably.
Double WBA Jafa ?
You miss hazard!
Apparently Silva is fit to play Saturday.
So, any changes from this bunch of misfits?
My hill
Darmian, Williams, Kolarov
Memphis, Sanchez, Mahrez, Silva.
Martial, Aguero, Wilson
Subs. McCarthy, Westwood, Gomez, Richards.
1 FT plus £0.5m itb
?Start Gomez over Williams and let autosubs work their magic if needed. In terms of transfers just roll this one over.
We'll probably know the teamsheet before. Its risky to start Gomez otherwise i reckon.
I was lucky on that front last week, I always worry about a 5 to 10 min cameo with defenders of the team is winning.
If LFC were 1 nil up, I'm sure Rodgers would swap Gomez for the defence shy Moreno to try and hold onto the 3 pts.Fair enough, I just don't think away at Southampton is an appealing fixture at all for Williams.
Williams is a machine 😉
But swa currently are not
They are defensively though:
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/public-stats-tables/view/10340/
Damian to keep his place?
for sure
Where did you get that Silva news?
Demi posted it about 11pm klast night.
From the Manchester Evening News, believe form PeleeOk. Cheers. Good new for us Kdb owners.
how is silva playing good news for kdb? he'll probbably get shifted back out wide now...
To me he looked better when playing out wide against West Ham.
No, looks sound.
Fair play for sticking with Mephis. 2fts next week will help you sort Gomez (if needed)
Memphis to Payet?
I'm still keen to shift Silva with my 2nd FT...
For....?
Seems waste of a transfer if he's fully fit don't you think ?I dunno hey, KdB stealing his thunder and he hasn't played with him yet...
Im keen on Hazard. Penalties, numbers picking up and everyone is going to want Chelsea attackers with their run coming up.
Nice Team. (C)?
Memphis->DaPayet.
I like this too.
Before the play Sunderland?
Surely keep for this game.... ???He hasn't done anything yet. You are overloaded with Man U players as it is.
Aye, I will rectify that with my x2 FTs next week.
Good lad 😉
As a fellow Depay owner I feel compelled to let you know he got an assist this week.
Oh yes. Surely.
Source?
And I like it. Save FTSee above ^
Yep seen it. Thanks
You going to captain Martial?
Yes, which means Aguero will rip it up this week 😆
Good team. If the Liv team is leaked Fri evening and Gomez starts, I'd put him first sub to cover Silva.
I think its a good time to do Darmian to Azpi.
After Sunderland, no?
Disagree completely.
Had a brainfart. Save it Evs.
You miss hazard!
Lack of spots this week I'm afraid.
I'd do Memphis>Payet...how long do you want to give him a chance?
Just this week, then he's out.
His stats are still good despite lack of return. Surely I can't sell before Sunderland.
Where did you hear that?
Memphis to Payet I would look at.
Or Gomez to Dawson/Evans but that can wait.
A) Play Butland (BOU) + Bench Wilson (stk)
B) Play Myhill (EVE) + Bench Ayew (sou)B
That is a weird pairing.
Are we all getting Bertrand if he starts tonight?
Well I am after Chelsea game.
Altough might bring Pelle first for Wilson.I'll wait at least a couple of weeks. I doubt he'll keep a CS at Chelsea and he has a bit of RC history with Swansea.
Currently on my shortlist.
For Darmian next week.
Ruddy l Rudd
Kolarov l Jenkison l Williams l Francis l Huth
Sanchez l Ayew l Silva l Marhez l Fletcher
Aguero l Martial l Wilson
0FT / 1.4ITB, WC intact
On a WC, I would change GKs, Jenko, Huth, Fletcher and maybe Silva because of the injury.
What would you do? When is the best time to WC in your opinion ?Team is fine.
Next week Ruddy to Begovic.
Later Huth to another cheapie or Jenk out. Has he lost his place or something?You've only got 14 weeks left to play it so sooner rather than later. Doubt they'll be many dgws either during this stage of the season.
Gks need changing. Apart from Payet, you are in reasonable shape.Cheers!
Gomis decreased in price today (probably because of Martial). And I've read some of you advising to bench Ayew. Do you really think that Swansea won't be able to break Southampton's defence ?
I have Gomis and Ayew so I'm benching Ayew. I think they could break through but only score 1 goal and Gomis is the tip of the needle
Benching Ayew is nuts. Never bench attacking players like Ayew particularly OOPs.
For me it's either Benching Ayew (sou) or Wilson (stk)
Bench the 4.5 mid.
He doesn't have one.
*sniggers
Don't have one.
Ayew - Payet - Silva - Mahrez - Pedro
Aguero - Gomis - Wilsonid bench gomis,doesnt get bps and ayew plays oop sometimes and has all the other midfielder pts bonueses vs a striker
he obvs doesnt have one
Fpl stats is a nightmare. Bellerin rose which was not expected at all.
Some players have meaning to be dropping for days and don't, buy then some go up unexpectedlyDisagree. Best site for price changes by distance. Enough accuracy to be considered realiable.
plot twost : Bellerin gets injured tonight against Spurs
We've been saying for a few weeks now anything above 90% and especially 95% has a chance and 100% is by no means certain.
KDB tonight then.
it's still a very useful guide.
And for me I enjoy the surprise element to price changes
On wc, this is my team:
De gea 4.0
Kolarov Evans Zouma Moreno Richards
Hazard Yaya Mahrez Payet Alli
Aguero Wilson Martial
0 itb.
Some of my defence is open to rotation risk so I've picked 5 good ones if bench is needed. KDB is tempting but can't find the budget. Thoughts pleaseplot twist : Bellerin gets injured tonight
reply fail ...
Moreno to a 4.5 Watford for me and you are good to go. Nice team.
Thanks
i wouldnt bother with Alli to be honest , theres too much competitoin in spurs midfield spots
FSG believe Rodgers may walk and are interested in Ancelotti as a replacement
Todays loverpool gossip
😆
That bugger not gonna walk away that easy.Yeah. He will get sacked before walking
Bit shame. BR was so promising but he has to go no excuses left.
Agree. I really wanted him to turn it around but its obvious that he has to go
Ancelotti. Top manager.
The best part of Fantasy Football Fix is you can view the price fluctuations of your entire team on one page.
Aye, Totalfpl offer that too + you can add a watchlist of players, unfortunately their predictions are awful!
How often have you been playing buddy?
I was off the grid last season. Been a regular two seasons before that. Some great inputs btw. Keep it up. Missed your league unfortunately.Cheers LR, I'll be sure to advertise better next season!
This is season 4 for me, first season and a half were completely casual for me then I had to get serious to beat my Ramsey-owning brother. I moderated at /r/FantasyPL for a season before migrating here around March this year.
Fix has a watchlist as well.
I've 2 changes I plan to make, and I'll end with 0ITB if these guys don't move in price
Sooo confused what to do sigh 🙁 ..1FT
butland
kolorav azpi jevans
mane hazard mahrez sterling --- chadli
wilson kun deeney
A: save FT and bench chadli..will remove Chadli next gw
- will have 2 fts next gw, decent 11 this gw as I continue my alternating 343/352 strat
B: chadli + wilson >> fletcher + martial (-4)
- chadli has tough fix, my tv is crap so want martial early, will revert to a full time 343 strat
- have had wilson from the start so loose some tv selling him
- I will have to start deeney all the time whereas till now I can rest one of deeney/chadli/wilson
C: sterling + deeney >> fletcher + martial (-4)..will then upgrade chadli next gw
- have lost 0.1 and 0.2m so been holding to them hoping they increase so I can recoup my losses
- city mid is a lottery but sensible to have 3 city players I think
- will revert to full time 343 strategy
- I will have to start wilson all the time whereas till now I can rest one of deeney/chadli/wilson
All the options have their merits , hence the confusionI'd Save.
What's the thinking? I am generally happy with the team but my tv is very bad (100.5) so martial will be upto 8.6 if he gets even an assist vs sland
Make it or break it for me. With current Aguero form I'm more than happy to captain Martial.
No Payet is my main worry.
Butland
Darmian-Gomez-Kolarov (Williams,Richards)
Sanchez-Kdb-Coutinho-Mahrez (ww)
Aguero- Martial (c)- WilsonSame from 7 with Payet instead of Cout for me.
We seem to be making similar transfers too. Good luck.I'm looking to bring Payet in for Sanchez next week which would allow me to have Pelle for Wilson in gw9.
Nice little move you have planned there.
Dont want Azza/Pedro?
Looking to bring Pedro in as well but not just yet.
That's what I'm doing.
You can't have em all. Looks good.
Ruddy-Rudd
Kolarov-Cedric-Dawson-Huth-Saylor
Sanchez-Silva-Mahrez-Ayew-Fletcher
Benteke-Aguero-Sakho
What should I do with this side?
Confirm Gomez-Evans now?
No. Wait for team news. LFC team news comes in early.
If he starts, save the transfer. More chance of a LIV cleanie this week compared to Evans.
Pardon my ignorance, but what is OOPs?
The opposite of POOps
Out Of Position players. Strikers listed as mids or mids listed as defenders. like Walcott and Bale in years gone past.
Got it....cheers
Out of postion. Ie. A player listed as a midfielder is actually playing as a forward. Dier is a OOP defender
Rookie alert 😛 We need more rookies, makes it more interesting. Welcome lad
Thanks 🙂
Run a quick eye over lads?
Myhill
Kolarov, Darmian, Targett
Hazard, Sanchez, Yaya, Mahrez
Aguero Martial Wilson
bench: McCarthy, Westwood, Richards, Martin.
Undecided on captain. -4.Martial? Why you brought him?
Form striker, good fixture, easiest cash I'll make all season if it doesn't work out.
Could easily go to 8.4 if he does well against Sunderland.
Cashing in next week maybe for Pelle.I think he rises to 8.4 maybe on Saturday night.
He could be 8.6 by next week.Maybe, sell at the end of next week. Make 0.3.
Martial I'd say.
Feels wrong.
Kinda thinking Hazard vs Newcastle. But undecided.Every (c) decision this season bar one has been wrong for me.
Im not captaining aguero until he shows form. Martial and Mahrez (Vc)
Members / scouts related question... Where in the members area I can see shots per minute, chances created per minute and goal conversion stats..? I keep them seeing in this kind of articles and somehow can't find them in the members area.

What are Cedric owners doing then.
Hanging on and hoping he starts?
If you may not even field 3 starting defenders this week might be more than worth a hit to correct.
Hanging on. Yoshi didn't exactly excel.
reckon he'll start?
Not an owner, but some are looking straight at Bertrand.
as am I. believe me. but am wondering if worth the hit.
oh definitely not for a hit, do it next week on a free.
