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.

    1. Epic Fail

      I sold Ayew for Payet.

      Payet

      I keep swapping between the two and missing each other's points 🙁

        I might have to think this one through and miss out on another Payet price rise

    4. CunkOnFPL

      Payet

  3. King Kav. QC at law

    de Bruyne is good, shall I get him and sell sick note Silva?

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Not if Silva is fit.

    2. st4rt__

      Silva is fine mf.

    3. Weasel Boy

      Apparently silva should be fit for weekend.

      1. King Kav. QC at law
        11 years, 27 days ago

        very helpful good man

    4. rozzo
      11 years, 27 days ago

      KDB is the man. Will be a star this season.

      Silva obviously very good but has historically been more of an assist the assister type.

      I expect KDB to outscore him.

  4. DaddyPig
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Help please.. Should I?

    So, these transfers seem like a fun idea..

    Darmain Hoolahan and Diouf OUT

    Dawson Payet and Jerome IN

    For -4 that is.

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

      You spelt ighalo wrong.

      1. DaddyPig
        11 years, 27 days ago

        No matter how I spell it I can't afford him

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

          Evans over Dawson give you the funds? Either way don't get Jerome.

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

            Just seen it does. Evans, payet and ighalo looks much better.

          2. DaddyPig
            11 years, 27 days ago

            No sadly, I just thought he's there main striker, good fixtures coming up. Very cheap.
            Bad idea then you think?

            1. DaddyPig
              11 years, 27 days ago

              It leaves me 4.8 for a defender

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

                See below.....Evans is 4.8m and a nailed on west brom defender, plus got 2 bonus at the weekend.

            2. Sess!
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              11 years, 27 days ago

              How does it not give you the funds? Dawson is 5m plus Jerome 4.9 = 9.9m........Evans 4.8m plus ighalo 5.1m = 9.9m

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

                Ighalo is hundred times better option than Jerome and nothing in Evans/Dawson.

                Right can't sell those transfers any more than I have. Your call.

                1. DaddyPig
                  11 years, 27 days ago

                  Mate thanks so much for all your help it does work out perfectly actually with 0.0m in the bank!

                  Or I just do Diouf > Sahko and go without Payet?

                  Payet just seems essential doesn't he.

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

                    No I like those three moves a lot. Only downside is losing Darmian before a plum fixture but you'd want rid after this week anyway. You should easily make the -4 back in the long run. Good luck!

                    1. DaddyPig
                      11 years, 27 days ago

                      Thanks, honestly a real help.

                      My Team now is:

                      Butland McCarthy
                      Merts Kolorov Evans Targett Huth
                      KDB Payet Sanchez Mahrez Pedro
                      Aguero Ighalo Wilson

                      Ok to you?

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

                        Solid as a rock. Guess it's a toss up between ighalo and Wilson who you bench?

                        Maybe mert > zouma next week if zouma starts again this weekend.

                      2. DaddyPig
                        11 years, 27 days ago

                        Think I'll bench Wilson this week. Unless I pull out the old All Out Attack chip!

                        Yeah that would be better with Zouma if he looks nailed.

                        Thanks again Sess and good luck with your game week!!

    If Giroud starts tomorrow, i might do sanchez to walcott.

  6. DA Minnion (Former great)
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Benteke s injury is very inconvenient.
    Likelihood of him playing this weekend?

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

      Might get some more news tomorrow. Got to think if he's fit he'll be itching to play against his old club.

    2. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      or is it convenient since Liverpool don't instill confidence and his injury has given you a guilt-free out?

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        11 years, 27 days ago

        True.waiting to hear he's definitely out before I ship .

  7. Defcons are for Kinnear
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Imagine a team (like Man City) that spent money (125m) and trained 20 hours a week played pub teams (Red Lion FC) that spent no money and did minimum training (5 mins stretching before kick off) every week and got really happy if they won.

    Now replace Man City with FFSers and the pub team with casuals. :ozil:

    When FFS has a good GW like GW6 we really know to make ourselves feel like geniuses

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

      Well I'm 2.5m, so I must be like the Jockey pub team from Shameless 😆

    2. ​
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I see GW 6 more like scoring an equaliser after going 1-0 early doors. but still I get your point, not something to get too worked up about.

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        11 years, 27 days ago

        It just occurred to me right now, feel a bit sad now 🙁

        1. ​
          11 years, 27 days ago

          hehe there's some interesting forwards in the draft league if you want to replace Rondon by the way.

          1. Defcons are for Kinnear
            11 years, 27 days ago

            Cheers but I actually want to keep him. You're doing a City to the rest of us 🙂
            Hoping my Chelsea defence pays off

            1. ​
              11 years, 27 days ago

              Does it change your mind if I say one of them's Rooney?

  8. st4rt__

    I'm so excited for this weekend.

    McCarthy (wat)
    Kolarov (tot) - Jenks (NOR) - Darmain (SUN)
    Payet (NOR) - Alexis (lei) - Silva (tot) - Mahrez (ARS)
    Rondon (EVE) - Wilson (stk) - Aguero (tot)

    Bench - Butland (BOU) - Hoolahan (whu) - Williams (sou) - Francis (stk)

        Same my friend.

    2. Sess!

      Strong. Not want to play butland over McCarthy?

      1. Slam
        11 years, 27 days ago

        He has Wilson

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

          So?

          1. st4rt__
            11 years, 27 days ago

            Well it'd mean if Wilson scores, Butland's CS is gone.

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

              But if Wilson blanks and Bournemouth don't score you'll feel better with butland CS.

              1. st4rt__
                11 years, 27 days ago

                True, ah well.

                  Just go with your gut mate. I'm just playing devils advocate.

                  11 years, 27 days ago

                  I had Butland and Mahrez last weekend, Butland 7, Mahrez (C) 22 haha, ok Butland assist was something special 🙂

      2. st4rt__
        11 years, 27 days ago

        I'm reluctant due to Wilson playing, have a feeling Watford Palace could be 0-0.

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

          Fair enough

        2. GENERATION X

          every chance mccarthy gets dropped anyway he is making mistakes

  9. rozzo

    Swansea haven't scored in their last three games. Right decision to sell Gomis for Martial and bench Ayew this week?

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

      Could work but I think they'll score against Southampton

      1. 32chickens
        11 years, 27 days ago

        i think SOU will walk it

      http://theswanseaway.co.uk/2015/09/is-monk-making-the-right-move-by-loaning-nathan-dyer-to-the-foxes/

      yes something has gone off the ball at swansea under the surface
      -loan dyer poor move
      -siggy being found out
      -ki has been injured

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

      Gomis stats have been better the last 2 games than the 1st 4 when he scored a goal a game. Keeping.

      1. rozzo
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Surely the only stats that are relevant are goals and assists and not missed chances?

        1. ⚛Aeneas⚛
          11 years, 27 days ago

          Luck is not a measurable quantity - Shots on target and touches in the box are IMO.. Keeping Gomis with an eye for pelle if he later on keeps up his impressive form and has good fixtures

      2. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Yeah I'm keeping Gomis, losing Ayew.

  10. MrAndersen
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Do you think Martial will go up another 0.1 tonight or maybe later this week?

    1. CunkOnFPL
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Yes

    2. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      definitely not tonight. very, very likely later this week.

    3. Epic Fail
      11 years, 27 days ago

      What rising percentage is he on?

    4. Demí
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Tomorrow i think

    5. Les Bleus
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Nowhere near rising tonight.

    6. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Not tonight

    7. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
      11 years, 27 days ago

      was about to ask the same, I'm leaning towards a yes

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

    QUESTION:

    When Aguero came off injured vs Everton, where did KDB play? Silva was fit and playing at the time.

    If he lined up wide (as I'm imagining) did he drift as necessary? Were him and Silva dynamic in positioning or static?

    1. ​
      11 years, 27 days ago

      KdB plays wherever there is space.

      1. 32chickens
        11 years, 27 days ago

        agreed-so flexible-have been impressed

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I think he played left. But that was the game Sterling missed I think, so Navas was on the right. Sterling is obviously better on the left, so would KDB play on the right?

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

        OOPS

        it was the Palace game.

        you're right Sterling missed that one, but so did Silva so it appears he probably played in the 10.

        now my post is irrelevant.

  12. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
    11 years, 27 days ago

    any word on Diouf and Elphick readiness for this gw ? And Kompany should be back right?

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

      Komoany yes. No idea on the other two.

    2. Hooky
      11 years, 27 days ago

      You should know the answer to all team news questions with that grav 😉

      1. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
        11 years, 27 days ago

        vladerrama the great ha? or because it looks like demi's ? 😀

        1. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…

          Valderrama*

  13. KISSES

    Aanchez out for Payet?

    1. KISSES
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Sanchez even

    2. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Hazard maybe, payet no.

      1. KISSES
        11 years, 27 days ago

        I own Haz and Silva, Sess. What you reckon? Ideally I'd want to keep Silva if fit

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

          I'd have Sanchez over payet any day. Even though that seems silly to say given form.

          1. Ziegler1988
            11 years, 27 days ago

            There's a 3.3m price difference and Payet is the main man. Stats will keep saying Sanchez is due and no one will ever get rid

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

              Yeah I wanna get rid if him this week.....but for hazard.

    3. Epic Fail
      11 years, 27 days ago

      No

    4. Ziegler1988
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Yes

  14. sully29

    Silva will start v Spurs. Yay or nay?

    1. KISSES

      Id love to know, still up in the air at the moment

    2. st4rt__

    3. internal error

      If he is fit then he starts

    4. Weasel Boy

      11 years, 27 days ago

      Apparently he's fit but who knows with Pelle.
      Tough fixture so hopefully.

    Myhill, McCarthy
    Kolarov, Darmian, Williams, Gomez, Muniesa
    Sanchez, Silva, Ayew, Mahrez, Westwood
    Aguero, Gomis, Wilson

    2FT, 2.4 in bank

    No idea what to do with my frees. Any ideas?

    Considering:
    Gomez -> Azpi
    Muniesa -> Dawson/Evans

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

      Yeah good defensive options.
      Not tempted by Utd players?
      Eg Martial or Mata?

  17. ​
    11 years, 27 days ago

    I own 3 of these and the other 2 are available in a draft game, pick 3:

    Rooney, Kane, Martial, Son, Ighalo.

    I'm currently thinking Kane, Martial, Ighalo?

    1. 32chickens
      11 years, 27 days ago

      son ,martial and igloo would be punty

      1. ​
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Any reasoning for Son over Kane other than it'll be punty?

        1. 32chickens
          11 years, 27 days ago

          Son's energy and confidence just seems a good fit with the mix n match spurs midfield-i've been very impressed
          poor old kane is just trying too hard-painful to watch at the moment

          1. ​
            11 years, 27 days ago

            Interesting because Im sat on Kane, Martial, Ighalo at the moment having ditched Rooney but I know Kane will be snapped up and disappear forever if I drop him. This'd be much easier if Son was a midfielder!

      2. Syd.
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Rooney with a Kane in an Igloo would be a thing of nightmares

    Order of priority to get rid? 3,7m itb.
    A) Diouf, injured or lets see?
    B) Gomez, not playing but other def can probably do the job?
    C) Westwood, pimp him up to someone who get more than 2 points.

      11 years, 27 days ago

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Me too.

      Accredited their end of season defensive solidarity to the manager, but it looks like they just pulled their socks up due to the threat of relegation instead.

    muniesa gomez and darmian all dropped. excellent midfield and attack. all out attack look good to avoid -4?

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

      Sure

      1. King Kav. QC at law
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Ok

    Worth doing Silva -> Payet tonight to catch the price rise?

    1. BrockLanders
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I wouldn't if Silva's fit for Saturday

    2. FPL Puppy
      11 years, 27 days ago

      No. If Silva is fit it's worth keeping him. No need to think about price rise.

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

      Keep silva. Hopefully gonna be fit.

  22. Defcons are for Kinnear
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Another thing that many can relate to; I only follow football (properly) due to FPL and I only play FPL due to FFS.

      11 years, 27 days ago

      What made you support Newcastle?

  23. Mull
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Who's more likely to play? Remy or Falcao.

    1. st4rt__
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Falcao tomorrow, Remy weekend. Not like any of this is any relevance to FPL managers.

      1. Mull
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Might take a punt on Remy and wildcard over the international break.

    2. Syd.
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Remy as Falcao is playing tomorrow night

  24. Higuita
    11 years, 27 days ago

    If I do Diouf to Ighalo, left with the biggest benching headache, so will have to do AoA... But that means picking two out of Darmian, Dawson and Kolarov?!

    Front 8:

    Yaya, coutinho, Sanchez, Payet, Mahrez
    Kun, Wilson,Ighalo

    1. BrockLanders
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Just AOA. Think I'm gonna (see below)

      1. Higuita
        11 years, 27 days ago

        And bench Darmian?

        1. BrockLanders
          11 years, 27 days ago

          Yeah I would. Def start Kolarov & Dawson.

          Wish I had some WBA coverage 🙁

    2. Bibelnissen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Bench Coutinho.

      1. Higuita
        11 years, 27 days ago

        After all his attempts against Norwich?

    3. TRIMM-TRABB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 27 days ago

      If you have 3 defenders available then why do you have to AOA?

  25. BrockLanders
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Would you AOA this..

    Butland
    Kolarov, Azpi (Cedric Francis Prodl)
    Hazard, Mahrez, Payet, Mane, Shaqiri
    Aguero, Wilson, Ighalo..

    1. Ziegler1988
      11 years, 27 days ago

      I'd probably start Prodl and bench Shaqiri

      1. BrockLanders
        11 years, 27 days ago

        Bench Shaqiri on his last chance saloon?

      2. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 27 days ago

        This....think you need to give up the ghost on shaquiri.

  26. Les Bleus
    11 years, 27 days ago

    Why was Man City playing with pretty much a first team tonight in the C1 cup?

    1. King Kav. QC at law
      11 years, 27 days ago

      Confidence boost after the weekend loss.

    2. 32chickens
      11 years, 27 days ago

      -to not blow it again
      -a sensible response to loss against westspam

    3. Ziegler1988
      11 years, 27 days ago

      They want the quadruple

      1. ​
        11 years, 27 days ago
