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.
Evening all, would be great to have your thoughts here:
A) Silva -> Payet
B) Butland -> Bego
C) Gomis -> Pelle
D) Muniesa -> Evans (double WBA def)
E) Save
Butland / McCarthy
Kolarov / Dawson / Williams / Muniesa / Ward
Silva / Pedro / Mahrez / Sanchez / Westwood
Aguero / Gomis / Wilson
Save
E
D or E
Cheers guys, looking rather consistent
C, if hes fit
A .. Norwich and Sunderland up next for Payet.
E
Cedric v Williams. Who do I pick this week?
Cedric, Swansea havent scored much lately and Southampton will surely score.
Thanks!
Keep both Coutinho and Benteke this week or;
Got 2 free
A)Coutinho -> Pedro
B)Benteke -> Martial
C)Both
D)NeitherBenteke to Ighalo and upgrade 5th mid?
I have the same two. You can't sell Cotinho, imo. If Benteke is out go for Martial (don't like fixtures after SUN) or Ighalo and keep the other FT if you can.
I'm going for a bath.
speak in a bit x
Enjoy
Showers > baths.
Effort ifof standing up tho
Ah but baths are more uncomfortable if you're tall.
need to replace Gestede and maybe Cameron Jerome in a Draft League. Remy a good add for now or will Falcao start?
I think its about 65:35 in Remys favour
surely a better player to have, even if it's only for 3 matches, than Gestede right?
Ye if you can't find anyone better
ain't any better, availability is low. see my reply to Balders for the rest of my team. have flexibility in formations thankfully.
also Sinclair worth replacing with Sako?
too right-
-CRY v AV
-sinclair not nailed
-sakos SOG
Take both and Sako too.
Falcao not available.
looking at Sinclair + Gestede > Sako + Remy and seems good. rest of team is
DDG - Myhill
Koscielny - Francis - Gomez - Kolarov - Naughton
Sanchez - Mahrez - Ritchie - Chadli
Jerome - Sakhofair enough, go for it. You can always play 343 or 352 if it comes to it.
Didn't realise Spurs-Arsenal was live on sky sports tomorrow. Predictions? Spurs side likely to be stronger than Arsenal's on paper?
Alan Smith co commentating
Harry in the studio.
Oh, 2-1 Spurs.🙂
Not really. 2nd choice premier league players lilely to start for arsenal
Arsenal because they have a much stronger squad
Sounds like they could put out the likes of Chambers, Debuchy, Arteta, Iwobi, Campbell and some others. Fancy Spurs i think
Forgot Rosicky is still injured, he always rips teams apart in cups
Wenger to go out and batter them after our last two results. You can't put a weak line up against Tottenham even if it is the League Cup.
Team news tab, top of the page.
spuds will whoop them easy. 4-0
Costa, Benteke -> who? and who?
2 FTs to go with Aguero. CheersPelle + Ighalo maybe?
Guess it depends on your opinion of Martial really.
Martial and ighalo
Martial, Ighalo
Sakho & Vardy
Not Martial.
Especially when you won't increase your selling value before Sunderland.
Thanks chaps. I had Ighalo and Sakho in mind, so both in the mix from your answers. Cheers.
I did Costa to Martial on Sunday. Its turned out to be inspired. You too can join me in paradise, for just 5.99 a month.
Butland (Myhill)
Darmian, Prodl, (Kompany, Gomez, Richards)
Payet (c), Mahrez, Sanchez, Pedro, Yaya
Kun, Wilson, (Ighalo)
0.1 ITB, 1 FT (can afford Gomez - Evans)
Should I play Ighalo,, if so who for ?. Could safe FT and play AOA.
Any ideas...
I think Gomez to a Stoke Defender is good? I see CS's vs avl/WAT/new in the next 6.
My team is:
McBegovic
Kolarov Gomez Williams Nyom JEvans
KDB Sanchez Pedro Mahrez Westwood
Gomis Aguero Wilson
Have 2 Ft's so will use one at least 🙂I much rather get Payet and Cresswell for Gomez and Pedro..
I'll wait.
If Pedro fails again, I'll sell for Payet or someone next GW 🙂
Thanks anyway thoughSell Pedro before Newcastle?
This is my issue.
Is anyone else looking at taking a two week punt on Remy?
Right here, only thinking about it tho
No
I'm not sure I'm going to get over bringing in Remy and Studge for the DGW late last season, cost me my mini league.
No. Could easily be benched Falcao in at least one of the 3 games.
After last year.
No chance
Bugger it! Another hit!
Feel free to delete this mods. Didn't post properly
😆 I'm alright thanks mate! 🙂
ah good stuff, comfy landing?
I'll tell you on Sat!!
Bugger it! Another hit!
say it again
😯
Slow down!Haha! I know!!
In more ways than one.
Feel free to delete this mods. Didn't post properly

Chill out man. You'll end up 3.3m OR at this rate
Is there a way FFS could collate the most commonly asked questions over the last 24 hours. It's so frustrating reading the same question 3 times on every page. E.g. Is Aguero rising tonight? why did Aguero go off on 65 mins? How long is Aguero out for? Is Aguero nailed? Etc.
We could have a list of the most common questions on the side beneath Watch list where people are directed to the question and can discuss it there. The common questions are easily identifiable so mods could add them throughout the day.
Agree?It's what hot topic tries to do.
The other way to go is a forum instead of a message board like /r/FantasyPL on reddit but the answers get very self-righteous in forumsI suppose Hot Topics do it to some extent. No way am I leaving FFS. Just thinking of wee ways to improve this awesome place
The people who ask said questions generally can't be arsed to look up 2 posts for the answer, let alone check a different thread.
Great shout!
Incredible amount of work and active moderation to compile/collate these questions which are asked in so many different iterations that it would be impossible to automate.
Doesn't need automating. It's like a Hot Topic.
So basically everybody (myself included) has given themselves an Ighalo/Wilson/Payet/Mahrez selection problem.
Could be an interesting week if a few of them blank, looks like a good week for different captaincy options too.
I think I'm going AOA and might captain Ramsey as he's likely to play more centrally, we'll see after tomorrow night.I'm in a similar situation (see above), planning to play all four (Ighalo/Wilson/Payet/Mahrez), and either bench a premium mid or play AOA.
Bugger it! Another hit! 😐
Hope this one pays off. That relies on KDB outscoring Silva (or the latter not playing)
I can't help taking hits!! I love a good transfer 🙂good long term. Not for -4
Bonkers
Apple?
Benteke is out of tomorrow's game. He'll undergo a fitness test prior to Saturday's game.
So sell?
I've bought in Martial. Can't see Liverpool scoring more than 1 goal nowadays.
Pelle Remy Martial or Ighalo is what I will go with
Lump
great oppotunity for the 'discovery' of ings
Why is everyone jumping ship on Gomez all of a sudden? We all knew there was some rotation risk.
As far as I can tell, Rodgers still thinks the sun shines out of his orifice.
rule 1 for me is nailed on players and only have 3 of those in defence
After a lot of transfer help on here from Sess! (Thanks bud)
GTG?
My Team now is:
Butland McCarthy
Merts Kolorov Evans Targett Huth
KDB Payet Sanchez Mahrez Pedro
Aguero Ighalo Wilson
Ok to you guys?Bugger it! Another hit!
That's what DC would say to your gravHa ha!
No worries mate, your front eight is almost as good as any could be at this stage IMO. Prob just need to shift mert next week if Gabriel starts again.
Looks good, who are you benching ?
Wilson this week? Maybe?
That's what I'd do.
Have similar front 8 (Yaya for KDB) and can't decide either.
It looks the best option. Mahrez is the next option but I just can't bench him, even against Arsenal.
Mahrez form is to good to be dropped, might do AOA if Kompany's ruled out.
Darmian owners, what to do?
You stick v Sunderland, reassess.
Stick for now.
Got to stick this week. Selling for Azpi week after.
Good option if you can afford it.
Might sell for Dawson/Evans
But holding at mo.
Limerick
so if gabriel shouldn't have got the red card
how can he be charged about how he reacted to getting that red card
the red card he shouldnt have got?Lol that is peculiar...
Myhill, McCarthy
Kolarov, Darmian, Williams, Gomez, Muniesa
Sanchez, Silva, Ayew, Mahrez, Westwood
Aguero, Gomis, Wilson
2FT, 2.4 in bank
Any idea what to do with my frees?Same front 8 as me......I'm looking to do Ayew & Sanchez > payet & hazard (see below).
Who would you rather have this GW......hazard or Sanchez?
haz as he will be focal point of attack and Newcastle are a mess
agree with this analysis
Hazard.
So if I say I'm doing Sanchez > hazard would you say still say hazard?
If they are no other pressing issues then yes. It could backfire though of course.
My theory is hazard should match Sanchezs points this week then has much better fixtures. Plus pens, I know Sanchez will score soon as I take him out, but one assist in six games for an £11m player is bit rubbish let's be honest.
Sanchez.
This week alone? Sanchez. Any longer than that, Hazard.
Cheers all! Decisions decisions.
Surely this is the week for Sanchez!!
They've been saying they all season!
Aston Villa usually beat Liverpool.
Always worth a punty betAlways bet against Liverpool
swerve
7/1. Might be bigger nearer kick-off
Benteke doesn't play for them anymore
Won't be playing for Liverpool either 😉
All time history...
Liverpool Home
Liverpool wins -- 55
Villa wins -- 17
Draws -- 19Lets keep it relevant, last 4 seasons:
Liverpool at Anfield:
W0D2L2Even that short of a stretch is irrelevant, in terms of the players still on the squads. Almost total makeover vs four years ago and even three years ago.
throw history out window, usually.
hey all, the below is for a draft league (unique player ownership). I drafted pretty damn well if I do say so myself (this was back before GW1 obv):
DDG - Myhill
Koscielny - Francis - Gomez - Kolarov - Naughton
Sanchez - Mahrez - Ritchie - Chadli - Sinclair
Jerome - Sakho - Gestede
looking at:
Sinclair > Sako
Gestede > Remy
Gomez > Davies
thoughts?yes to all but guess you will have to prioritise
sako would be my priority as a keeperthere are no hits or anything, I would do all 3 right now
get em done before others do

Checking up on old fixtures between Mcfc and Spurs
24th of November 2013
A Man City player scores in the first and last minute, without Google who was it?tevez?
navas
6-0Correct 🙂
Were they both intended as crosses?
Edin?
I don't know but I'm hoping it'll be Aguero this time
Who's the best stoke defender to get? Please disregard that they play for Stoke, I am going to get one. IMO the fixtures have gone as follows:
Liverpool - Coutinho wonderstrike
Tottenham, Arsenal, Leicester - No CS Expected
Norwich - Good attack atm
WBA - Close game lost 1-0
Their upcoming fixtures are kind defensively. I foresee some clean sheets on the horizon.
Help appreciated 🙂Butland had kept them from trashing
cameron always seems most likely attack wise
Im glad I have Butland, he even gets assists 🙂
Any news on Silva's injury yet?
Pelle said he should be fit for sat.
Captain, and reason?
A) Payet
B) Sanchez
C) Yaya
D) KunKun. Safe option.
Is it? I had Mahrez last week and that was my first nonblanking captain.
Kun... Why?... Spurs
Payet. On form, decent fixture
you got anything else-preferably anything CHE this w/e
Any injuries of note tonight?
I caught my finger in a door if anyone caresAyew injured
That's a question btw
Do t think so
you out for the w/e
pelle wont start tomorow
stones came off the pitch earlyCheers both. For different reasons.
