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

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    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
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't

    2. internal error

      I dont think so. Id stick for now

    3. trequartista
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months 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
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months 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
        10 years, 6 months ago

        So does Martial new owner.

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

  3. Mesh

    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.....

      • 12 Years

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

  5. trequartista
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Sakho or Pelle?

    1. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Pelle

      1. Dogba
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Isn't he a doubt?

        1. trequartista
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

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

          1. Rinseboy
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            If fit Defo Pelle for me

            1. trequartista
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              thanks! Considering bringing him in for Benteke.

    2. Mesh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Sakho for the next 2-3 weeks

    3. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. trequartista
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Looking to bring in one of those two.

  6. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months 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
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Kolarov & Darmian.

      1. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months 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
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Kolarov and Darmian.

      1. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

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

        1. trequartista
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

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

          1. Rinseboy
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Thanks good point re Kolorov attacking threat

  7. Dogba
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months 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
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good to go Dogba. Save.

    2. trequartista
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

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

    3. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yep save you have playing defenders if Cedric is benched

    4. Dogba
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks guys.

  8. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months 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
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      What did you use your FT on this GW? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

      I'd sit tight, Cedric will start.

    2. Abel Xavier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      if Silva's ok you're good

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

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

  9. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months 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

      A

    3. Lateriser 12

    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
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months 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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      i have 2 fts obvs ...

    2. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. Emp
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        ye but i need bojan to facilitate the other moves obvs ๐Ÿ˜› , also on pens great fixtures diouf probably still out and a baps magnet whats not to like ?

  12. Batchain
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months 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
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Payet.

      1. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed

    2. Emp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months 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
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Who to captain?

    Aguero or Mata!?

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      not Aguero

      1. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Excellent record against Spurs could troll this week !

        1. HellasLEAF
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

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

    2. trequartista
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. Emp
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months 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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      mata

  14. Christina.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

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

    ๐Ÿ˜•

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

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

    2. โ€‹
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Sounds good for a 352

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        AOA

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

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          *Mahrez

            • 12 Years

            ah makes sense, take Mata

            1. Christina.
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

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

              1. โ€‹
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 6 months ago

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

                1. Christina.
                  • 16 Years
                  10 years, 6 months ago

                  Jip, probably Mane and then switch to Mata.

        2. โ€‹
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          ๐Ÿ˜ฎ two Manes?? Do it!

          What happens after AOA?

          1. Christina.
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 6 months 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. โ€‹
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 6 months 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.
                • 16 Years
                10 years, 6 months ago

                Defence is:

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

                *=Evans/Janmaat etc.

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

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 months 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

    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
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

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

    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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. trequartista
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Definitely.

        1. HellasLEAF
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 6 months 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.

    1. trequartista

      How many FT's and ITB?

        • 14 Years

        Sorry should have mentioned 1 FT with 0.5 ITB

    2. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years

      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

    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

  21. Mr Sarcastic
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months 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... ๐Ÿ˜• Toughts?

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

        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.

          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

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

      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 ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. Mr Sarcastic

        Believe me, I know this ๐Ÿ™‚
        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.

          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 ๐Ÿ˜€

          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 ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜€

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

  23. Sp0rting
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months 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
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months 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
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months 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.

          Cheers, not to worry sporty there's no shame in losing to the 'winner' ๐Ÿ˜‰
          Ouch that Pelle move must have really hurt, unlucky mate-you got totally trolled there.

    2. Rinseboy

      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!

    3. trequartista
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      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? ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. Sp0rting
        • 10 Years

        Hah.

        Pelle -> Tekkers -> Pelle ๐Ÿ˜†

      Long time no see.

      It's going to be a close call, but I think you have to make an FT ๐Ÿ™

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

      1. Sp0rting
        • 10 Years

        Hey Dog. How's you?

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

  24. King Kohli

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

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. Soundwave
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        +1

    2. Farnborough's Finest
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      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!

  25. 11bigboy11

    What to do with Silva? Chance he plays?

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

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

    2. trequartista
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      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.

    1. Abel Xavier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      More to do with Martial

  28. Farnborough's Finest

    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

    1. Soundwave

      Keep it, looks good

      1. xarion.22h
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

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

        1. Soundwave
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

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