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.

    Cech - McCarthy
    Cedric - Clyne - Kolarov - Huth - O`Shea
    Hazard - Yaya - Mahrez - Couthino - Wanyama
    Kun - Wilson - Gomis

    Gomis + Cech -> Martial + Myhill worth a -4?

    1. Mesh
      11 years, 28 days ago

      I wouldn't

      I dont think so. Id stick for now

    3. trequartista
      11 years, 28 days ago

      I'd keep Gomis. Would consider the Cech swap but keep in mind Arsenal kept 3 CS in a row before the Chelsea game.

    This might be the week, where "No Mata?" questions could actually have some meaning.

    1. HellasLEAF
      11 years, 28 days ago

      I don't even really like Mata as an FPL player but this is a game week I'd want him. He'll do something.

      Probablem is then your stuck with him for poor fixtures.

      1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        11 years, 28 days ago

        So does Martial new owner.

        Both of them are a good one week punt I'd say.

    Is there still a bib theory for the Liverpool lineup?

      Nah. But liverpool line ups have been leaked on twitter everyweek a day before their games. Check on here on friday

    That reaction from Pep after the fifth one went in.....
    😆 😆

    1. ​
      11 years, 28 days ago

      I think its the only time I've ever called a 44 year old man adorable.

  5. trequartista
    11 years, 28 days ago

    Sakho or Pelle?

    1. Rinseboy
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Pelle

      1. Dogba
        11 years, 28 days ago

        Isn't he a doubt?

        1. trequartista
          11 years, 28 days ago

          Assuming he isn't, who would you go for?

          1. Rinseboy
            11 years, 28 days ago

            If fit Defo Pelle for me

            1. trequartista
              11 years, 28 days ago

              thanks! Considering bringing him in for Benteke.

    2. Mesh
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Sakho for the next 2-3 weeks

    3. internal error

      Pelle but i like both and would try to start both.

      1. trequartista
        11 years, 28 days ago

        Looking to bring in one of those two.

  6. Rinseboy
    11 years, 28 days ago

    Planning to drop the AOA chip this week, which 2 defenders would you start from?

    Kolorov Darmian Williams Gomez

    Front 8 is:

    Sanchez Yaya Mahrez Payet Mata
    Aguero Wilson Igloo!

    1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Kolarov & Darmian.

      1. Rinseboy
        11 years, 28 days ago

        Thanks van, that's my current thinking. Even if Gomez starts i think villa could score. The only other worry is benching Williams

    2. trequartista
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Kolarov and Darmian.

      1. Rinseboy
        11 years, 28 days ago

        I suppose Darmian has to start. It's just who is more likely to keep a clean sheet Williams or Kolorov

        1. trequartista
          11 years, 28 days ago

          Spurs don't look too good going forward + always the chance of BAPs/goals/assists with Kolarov

          1. Rinseboy
            11 years, 28 days ago

            Thanks good point re Kolorov attacking threat

  7. Dogba
    11 years, 28 days ago

    Morning guys!

    How's my boys looking? 1FT, thinking I'll save for now. It's not perfect, but nothing that needs fixing in a rush as far as I can see.

    Ruddy
    Kolarov Francis Cédric
    Mahrez Hazard Sterling Payet
    Wilson Agüero (vc) Martial (c)

    Subs: Rudd Westwood Huth Coates

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Looks good to go Dogba. Save.

    2. trequartista
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Are you confident that Cedric starts? He was dropped for Yoshida against Utd

    3. Rinseboy
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Yep save you have playing defenders if Cedric is benched

    4. Dogba
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Thanks guys.

  8. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 28 days ago

    Morning guys. Would you take a hit to improve this team?

    Ruddy
    Huth, Kolarov, Cedric
    Silva, Mahrez, Sanchez, Payet
    Aguero, Wilson, Pelle

    subs: Rudd --- Mertesacker, Saylor, Bentaleb --- 0 FT, 0.8 ITB

    Could easily find myself in a situation with no 11 players to field for a third week in a row.

    Saylor -> Evans (-4) or sit tight?

    1. Dogba
      11 years, 28 days ago

      What did you use your FT on this GW? 😮

      I'd sit tight, Cedric will start.

    2. Abel Xavier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 28 days ago

      if Silva's ok you're good

      1. HellasLEAF
        11 years, 28 days ago

        What if Cedric doesn't start am in the same boat (stupid Saylor)

  9. Jazz!
    11 years, 28 days ago

    Bench which player?

    A) Ayew (sou)
    B) Gomis (sou)
    C) Wilson (stk)

    Thanks

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Ive just taken Ayew out of my team so him

    2. Abel Xavier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 28 days ago

      A

    3. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Ayew out of these.

    4. Jazz!

    Hi everyone,

    Does anyone know where I can the find points for each players, week by week, so far in the same format as the either "rate my team" or "projections" formats.?

    I can't seem to find this anywhere.

    Thanks

    Daniel

  11. Emp
    11 years, 28 days ago

    payet , hazzard , ighalo and bojan to outperform tekkers, kane , targett and chadli by 8 pts or more this gw? First option would be AOA hence attacker vs defender only considering cos it seems like targett will get dropped this week in which case he becomes huth.

    1. Emp
      11 years, 28 days ago

      i have 2 fts obvs ...

    2. Rinseboy
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Don't like the Bojan pick so would do a -4 max.

      1. Emp
        11 years, 28 days ago

        ye but i need bojan to facilitate the other moves obvs 😛 , also on pens great fixtures diouf probably still out and a baps magnet whats not to like ?

  12. Batchain
    11 years, 28 days ago

    So who would be the best mid for the next dozen games just in terms of points out of:

    Coutinho
    Sako
    Payet
    (Some other suggestion).

    Also have Mahrez, Ayew and Hazard.

    1. trequartista
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Payet.

      1. Rinseboy
        11 years, 28 days ago

        Agreed

    2. Emp
      11 years, 28 days ago

      but you need to take into account value as well cos sako so much cheaper than the others.... payet beats coutinho at sameish price for me but sako trumps both for value and coule easily outscore both. Assuming payet and sako were same price id go payet so go payet only if theres absolutely nothing you can do with the excess money which is unlikley :p

  13. Rinseboy
    11 years, 28 days ago

    Who to captain?

    Aguero or Mata!?

    1. HellasLEAF
      11 years, 28 days ago

      not Aguero

      1. Rinseboy
        11 years, 28 days ago

        Excellent record against Spurs could troll this week !

        1. HellasLEAF
          11 years, 28 days ago

          I don't believe in that stuff personally. New season new team.

    2. trequartista
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Very conflicted myself. Just don't have the guts to not captain Aguero...

      1. Emp
        11 years, 28 days ago

        not sure why youd say you dint have the guts given that his captaincy wull be much lower this week meaning you wont get creamed if he crushes

    3. Emp
      11 years, 28 days ago

      mata

  14. Christina.
    11 years, 28 days ago

    Hmmmm, Pedro over Hazard gives me one of Mata/Mane as my 5th midfielders...

    😕

    1. HellasLEAF
      11 years, 28 days ago

      I can also bring Pedro in but hard to ignore Hazard if funds can be found.

    2. ​
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Sounds good for a 352

      1. Christina.
        11 years, 28 days ago

        AOA

        Alexis-Mane-Pedro-Payet-Mane/Mata
        Gomis-Kun-Wilson

        1. Christina.
          11 years, 28 days ago

          *Mahrez

          1. ​
            11 years, 28 days ago

            ah makes sense, take Mata

            1. Christina.
              11 years, 28 days ago

              Won't be this week though....just trying to set it up.

              1. ​
                11 years, 28 days ago

                ah okay take whoever the fixtures suit. Southampton if its soon or Man U after week 11.

                1. Christina.
                  11 years, 28 days ago

                  Jip, probably Mane and then switch to Mata.

        2. ​
          11 years, 28 days ago

          😮 two Manes?? Do it!

          What happens after AOA?

          1. Christina.
            11 years, 28 days ago

            After AOA? Nothing happens...Wilson's fixtures turn sour so he rots on the pine while Mata/Mane has excellent fixtures.

            No fixing required. Might just downgrade Wilson to Ighalo.

            1. ​
              11 years, 28 days ago

              Sounds good, I've not seen your defence but downgrading Wilson definitely seem the way to go if you need to push funds back

              1. Christina.
                11 years, 28 days ago

                Defence is:

                McC/Butland
                Kolarov/Williams/Prodl/Richards/4.9m*

                *=Evans/Janmaat etc.

                😎

                1. ​
                  11 years, 28 days ago

                  oh you're fine then perhaps apart from ButCarthy. I fully endorse your Pedro+Mane/ata move

    3. Sp0rting

              Meh. Gaat wel.

                Mooi man.

      I just sold Pedro-What am I missing?

      1. Christina.
        11 years, 28 days ago

        Why did you do that?

        For who?

        1. HVT
          11 years, 28 days ago

          I think he may be overrated and flattered to deceive early on, don't get me wrong I think he will still trickle points but I'd rather Hazard any day.
          Went for Payet - those fixtures and he looks a boss in the hole.

  15. cricketmad787
    11 years, 28 days ago

    Thoughts on this lot?

    Begovic
    Kolarov - Naughton - Gomez
    Sanchez - Pedro - Sterling - Mahrez
    Aguero - Gomis - Wilson

    McCarthy - Francis - Sinclair - Richards

    2FT and 0.1 in the bank

    1. HellasLEAF
      11 years, 28 days ago

      I'd be trying to fund Gomez to Dawson or Cresswell personally.

  16. trequartista
    11 years, 28 days ago

    Guys, Souare , Nyom or Francis to bring in for Oxford?

    1. trequartista

      anyone?

      1. ​

        Francis, or Nyom, flip a coin.

        1. HVT
          11 years, 28 days ago

          Nyom-better def imo.

    Re: Members' article above. Watched Yoyo v Wham and if I learnt one thing from the game it would be that he is very influential in the box. Looks back to his best.

    1. Rinseboy
      11 years, 28 days ago

      So keep Yaya another week even if I can afford KDB? Did look good on MOTD highlights

      1. trequartista
        11 years, 28 days ago

        Definitely.

        1. HellasLEAF
          11 years, 28 days ago

          Sticking with yaya he looks good and like his price and how secure his place is in the team.

          Let's not forget set piece. He should have scored or assisted at least last week.

    Ruddy-Rudd
    Kolarov-Cedric-Dawson-Huth-Saylor

    What should I do with this side??

    1. trequartista
      11 years, 28 days ago

      How many FT's and ITB?

      1. Butters_lfc9
        11 years, 28 days ago

        Sorry should have mentioned 1 FT with 0.5 ITB

    2. Rinseboy
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Wait on Benteke news and do him to Pelle if fit. Otherwise Ayew to Payet if fund allow

  19. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 28 days ago

    decided against switching Ayew for Payet as other issues / better to hold. what would you do out of the below:

    A) Lovren > Dawson
    B) Lovren > Jenkinson
    C)Save

    Cheers

    1. trequartista

    Panti (schwarzer)
    Azpi Cedric Kola (Morgan, Saylor*)
    Silva* Haz Chadli Ozil (Bentaleb*)
    Benteke* Aguero Sakho

    4 injuries, even though I'll never play 2 of them.

    2FTs. What to do?
    WC??

  21. Mr Sarcastic
    11 years, 28 days ago

    You think Darmian will start next game?

    I need at least one of Darmian & Gomez to play and get 3 defenders out, so I'm toying with the idea of Gomez => Francis / Evans for a hit.
    Francis has very good potential to pay hit back in next two games and Evans could pay me back long termish.

    But hit for a defender... 😕 Toughts?

    1. HVT
      11 years, 28 days ago

      I think Darmo starts. I'm holding and selling after Sund

      1. Mr Sarcastic
        11 years, 28 days ago

        Yeah that's one way to do it, I'm hoping I can keep him and bench for his 3 bad fixtures.
        Change for Azpli is tempting tough.

        1. Surezh06
          11 years, 28 days ago

          swap Darmian > Azpi for those 3 fixtures pocket the price raise and then when Utd fixtures turns good get him back for other 1 def.. Surely he would have drooped in price by that time.
          everybody is gonna ship him out after SUN so fire sale awaits

    2. Abel Xavier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 28 days ago

      I think he'll start. Just a kick up the backside from LVG.

    3. Soundwave
      11 years, 28 days ago

      The only reason to take hit for defender is not being able to lineup (at least) 3 in the starting XI.
      Otherwise, you need CS just to justify the hit + a goal or assist in order to earn more points.
      Better save if you don't have problem to field up 11 players in the squad 🙂

      1. Mr Sarcastic
        11 years, 28 days ago

        Believe me, I know this 🙂
        But but but it's not quite that simple imo. Hit doesn't have to be payed back in one gw. If I don't get 3 defs and take a hit and good replacement gives me 2 points in his first game, I wouldn't be very dissapointed.

        I could use AoA, but not liking to use it in a situation where there is a possibility that I have benched great score by Gomez if it happens that he starts anyway.

        1. Soundwave
          11 years, 28 days ago

          Well, I guess the solution to your problems are Friday press conferences and all the info you can pick prior to the deadline.
          Of course, if you transfer defender with good upcoming fixtures, then it is ok to expect the points for the upcoming period, but we all know those kind of plans always end up in tears in FPL 😀

          While Moreno was MVP in the first game he started, I think it is yet to be confirmed
          whether Brendan will continue to utilize the formation where he and Clyne are wingbacks or to return to line up 4 defenders in front of Mignolet. Gomez could be bargain if he plays, but if there is a slightest doubt in you about his potential time on the pitch, take a hit and don't come back to complain 😉 😀

  22. HVT

    Is Zarate part is Bilics first 11?
    (Draft-not Fpl)

  23. Sp0rting
    11 years, 28 days ago

    Give it to me straight Doc, how bad is it?

    Butland, McCarthy
    Darmian, Williams, Richards, KOMPANY, WARD
    Coutinho, Payet, Mahrez, Westwood, SILVA
    Kun, Gomis, BENTEKE

    1FT + 0.6m

    I ain't gonna make it, am I?

    1. HVT
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Your only posting this now under my post cos your trying to make excuses as to why you lost in our Champs league game!
      😉

      1. HVT
        11 years, 28 days ago

        I think Silva plays so fix Bentekke and you will be fine, you could take a hit for Ward but not sure it will pay off.

      2. Sp0rting
        11 years, 28 days ago

        I didn't even know I was in the comp until Spike told me.

        And then I lost by 2 points.

        Mainly due to my majestic Pelle -> Tekkers move. That went well.

        Congrats, by the way.

        1. HVT
          11 years, 28 days ago

          Cheers, not to worry sporty there's no shame in losing to the 'winner' 😉
          Ouch that Pelle move must have really hurt, unlucky mate-you got totally trolled there.

    2. Rinseboy
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Even with komo and ward out defence should survive. Silva should be fit so probably need a transfer out for Benteke. I think your FT will go to the wire though!

      Silva and Kompany are likely to make it for the weekend according to chatter on twitter.
      If Benteke is ruled out, you can easily shift him to Pelle/Ighalo/Wilson/Martial
      Not too shabby now is it? 🙂

        Hah.

        Pelle -> Tekkers -> Pelle 😆

      Long time no see.

      It's going to be a close call, but I think you have to make an FT 🙁

      So wait on new update for your 4 doubtfuls, ditch the one who is out the longest I guess.

        Hey Dog. How's you?

        Yeah, looks like being the waiting game this week....

    Should I still get payet having missed both his price rises this week or get Hazard / Pedro?

    1. HVT

      Get whoever you think will score the most points in your team for the next while regardless of price.

        +1

      I'm getting Hazard or Pedro because I think they'll get more points over the coming weeks. Trying not to let price rises influence decisions!

    What to do with Silva? Chance he plays?

      Chill it's Wednesday, pressured to come or just get KDB for glass ankles.

      Looks like he'll make it for the weekend. Up to the manager to start him/ keep him on the bench.

    Bafétimbi Gomis dropped in price last night, what a difference a second blank made. He rose in price last week.

      More to do with Martial

    @Trequartista and the other picture-less, get yourself a grav at gravatar.com and it will show up on this site rather than the anonymous scout cap.

      Okay , done 😀

    Why are people talking about dropping Aguero ahead of his favourite fixture? Would you have dropped Suarez before he played Norwich a few years back? (regardless of his form)

    mignolet/McCarthy
    Kompany/Francis/Gomez/Targett/Williams
    Mahrez/Sanchez/Payet/Silva/Westwood
    Aguero gomis wilson

    1. Soundwave
      11 years, 28 days ago

      Keep it, looks good

      1. xarion.22h
        11 years, 28 days ago

        dont you think defence in weak ?? since kompany is injured and Gomez doesnt look like playing

        1. Soundwave
          11 years, 28 days ago

          Kompany will return for the weekend and since you have funds, perhaps you can do Gomez -> Evans/Francis/Cresswell/Darmian ?
