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.
The last time Leicester kept a cleansheet was May 16th in the 0-0 away to Sunderland. They've played 14 games since then and face Arsenal who have had the most attempts on goal in the Premier League.
San©hez? 😉
just means Mahrez has to score more... apparently... own him and just want him to go away...
this is why I didn't go sanchez→Payet till now
Hmm it's like the stopable force vs the moveable object. Which incompetence will win out 😀
match abandoned 😛
what abou that
Migs (Ruddy)
Kolarov azpi Williams (Huth Coates)
Sanchez manè Coutinho Mahrez (sinclair)
Kun Gomis Wilson
1.7itb 2fts
a) Huth/Ciates→Evans and save 1 ft
b) Sanchez/Mane→Payet +a
c) Gomis→Ighalo/Martial
depends what formation you're planing on playing.. initial thought is a) as wba defenders are fairly important from here on in
Huth and Gomis out for Evans and Martial I like.
Thanks both
I like A)
About to pull the trigger on my first hit off season Tekkers to Rondon
Why not Berahino?
Looked at him, but apparently wba are playing 4-5-1, Rondon up top, Bera Left.
Imo Rondon is better and massive differential.
@Zasa . Sorry about the info with Benteke in my defence Rodgers said he was fit
http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/10001219/aston-villas-christian-benteke-to-have-scan-on-his-injured-hamstring
No worries mate 🙂 Am waiting 'til the leaked sheets on Friday, thanks for the info!
it will be 4-4-2 with studge & Ings upfront I think
Bot getting oiled and ready
Wrong website? 😉
Balders Bot 😉
😀
Done Benteke and Ayew to Rondon and Payet -4
may the force be with you
Cheers
Just realized how little I have watched WBA matches so far.
I can't think of how Rondon look.
If Bertrand set for a returns to play midweek game, can I imply that Targett has another weekend in him for starting ?
yeah but Swansea could easily score tbh
They play Everton
LOL my mistake
hell if they did it would be even better for my point I think!
I think he means PL match. The Saints will host Swansea on Saturday.
I have planned to bench Gomis and play Wilson.
You made me doubt with my selection.
Not any mids of mine can be benched though.
Alexis - Mahrez - Pedro - Payet - Yayajust because Swansea could score doesn't mean it could come through him. they have a lot of outlets. I still like your plan 🙂
who is your other striker, Kun?
if so, maybe if Silva and KDB are set to start you bench Yaya since he won't be nearly as advanced?Yes, it's Kun who may still get my armband this week. 🙂
Honestly, I'm so scare to bench Yaya.
He could score any week, I feel.he could, but I feel like his biggest games (be it in actual FPL terms or the eye test) came when Silva and/or KDB was out.
So I felt the Costa ban was too short. Oh well...
me too, but I didn't think anything more than 6 would be necessary. 4-5 was the sweet spot to send the "cut it out" message.
I doubt he would get that message regardless of the length of ban.
wrap it up in a brick and toss it through his window?
Now you're talking his language.
😀 Get Henderson to deliver it too
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CDMQtwIwBWoVChMIpcS52_uLyAIVqmrbCh2xJg5j&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DjepGwaBpQrU&usg=AFQjCNHOh7WgZqvkab5uPGSr3V_Csi6fIQ&sig2=2HncvMWnRlR8lR2HEjEhjw&bvm=bv.103388427,d.ZGUHah wow that is amazing 🙂
Toss it at his head and he still wouldn't get it.
Payet, Sagna to rise and Mata close.
Sorry
It won't make a difference to him. He's not changing
Starting Kolorovv and Francis this weekend, no brainier. Who should the 3rd be?
Cedric, Nyom, RIchards
Or go RIchards->Dawson for -4?Nyom for me, but I don't see a clean sheet in those three this weekend really.
I don't either, but not sure a -4 is worth bringing in Dawson, especially since he doesn't get many attacking points or BAPS. I'll likely roll the dice with Nyom
Loving the podcast, as always. Hilarious banter you both have.Don't think that's a hit worth taking either mate. Cheers - thanks for listening Swan 🙂
Cedric -> Evans
for -4?
i did something similar
Food for thought Cheers
Cedric
Yaya, Sanchez, Ayew, Mahrez, Pedro
Who goes for Payet?yaya or ayew
None, save.
Ayew easy
howcome? fixtures or drop in form?
From that lot, Ayew
Rising imminently
Ayew
maybe yaya, as quality as he is, he'll likely be playing deeper with KDB there now. plus getting rid of him gives u the silva/KDB option whenever u like. second choice would be pedro
2 minutes to make transfers or forever hold your peace!
*More like 60 seconds now.
I'll hold off, die another day 😉
I've made 1 tonight, love what I'm seeing from KDB. Think he'll do amazing things for City
Hows Benteke and Ozil to Rondon and Pedro?
Anyone else bringing in Rondon ahead of nice fixtures?
FPL Price Changes: Wednesday 23/09/2015, 02:12:27 AM
Risers: Bellerín, Payet, Sagna
Fallers: Anichebe, Antonio, Arter, Ayoze, Baba Rahman, Bacuna, Berahino, Bertrand, Bolasie, Chambers, Djilobodji, Fellaini, Giroud, Gomis, Grimes, Jelavic, Navas, Romero, Sigurdsson, Wijnaldum, Wilson (MUN)Some great picks for Wakey's falling stars here.
Gomis 🙁
Still, makes him more of a differential I guess! Seems like most of the Martial buyers shipped out Gomis.This
Pretty shocking to still see Benteke at 8.5
I reckon he'll drop by Friday
Nice, KDB didn't rise.
Another Pedro, I think.
Bertrand is an interesting option soon
Yep. Can really see him hovering up bonus this season.
+1
😮 can't believe he's fallen the week he's meant to be back, that is great news.
ready to bring him in two weeks from now
😀
Bugger off payet
Bellerin is a bit of an odd one, I just dont see it as his time yet with
lei, MUN, wat, EVE, swa, TOT
coming up next.At 2 AM on FPLstats
Bellerin was just +92.8
Gomis was -98.0
The price change look easier to happen in the last few days.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.
Thanks. I will have to extend the monitoring span then.
One more drop for Gomis and we lost the 0.1 we made on him earlier or another 2 more drop?
If you bought him at 7.0 like me, one more drop and we will lose 0.1 profit.
2 more drops and we will still lose 0.1 profit as well.
Cheers mate, bought him at 7.0.

Was looking to get bellerin before this price change. Looks like bertie will have to do now.
Diouf > Ighalo for a hit?
or
Silva > KDB for a hit?
I have Diouf and Silva flagged at the moment.
Butland
Kompany Darmian Williams
Silva* Pedro Payet Mahrez Sako
Kun Martial
Ruddy - Diouf* Richards GomezNo to both.
thanks. I'll hold off a week. Diouf might be ready for GW8
Neither for a hit, fine if for free.
diouf to wilson
Feel like its too late to bring in Wilson. Worst thing was i missed his hat trick
never too late with wilson
Price Changes, 9/23/15, 2:13:43 a.m
Risers -
Fallers -Hmm, seem to have encountered a technical error with the A.I. MK III at the ready.
😀
nice
lol
Epic Fail, is that you? 😆
cheers zasa
😆
You should add "I'll be back" at the end.You guy's haven't even seen my final form....

Cheers for reply before on league Balders.
Night all.No worries, g'night Reilly.
Southampton vs Swansea .. predictions ..
Sou 2-0
1-1
This. Pelle and Ki the goals
2-2 hopefully
Pre-match preview (compiled from FourFourTwo).
1. Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City
Against Crystal Palace on MD5, Spurs' starting XI was the youngest of any team in a Premier League game so far in 2015/16 (24y 118d).
Sergio Aguero has scored 10 goals in seven PL appearances against Spurs, his highest goal tally against any club in the competition.
2. Leicester City v Arsenal
Riyad Mahrez has had a hand in eight goals (five goals, three assists) in the Premier League this season; more than any other player.
Only once in the 18 Premier League meetings have Arsenal failed to score against Leicester.
3. Liverpool v Aston Villa
Liverpool have won 24 Premier League games against Aston Villa – only against Newcastle (also 24) have they won as many.
None of the last eight meetings between Aston Villa and Liverpool in the Barclays Premier League have ended as a home win (six away wins & two draws).
4. Stoke City v Bournemouth
11 of Jonathan Walters’ 13 Premier League goals since the start of 2014 have come at the Britannia Stadium.
Bournemouth have covered more ground than any other Premier League team after six matches so far this season (697km).
5. West Ham United v Norwich City
-
6. Manchester United v Sunderland
Anthony Martial could become the first player to score in each of his first three Premier League apps for Manchester United.
Sunderland have only defeated the Red Devils on one occasion in their last 26 Premier League encounters (W1 D6 L19).
Manchester United have conceded just two goals in their last five Premier League home games against Sunderland.
Sunderland have won just one of their last 14 Premier League away games (D6 L7).
The Red Devils have scored with all six shots on target in their last two Premier League games (versus Liverpool and Southampton).
After scoring in his first three consecutive matches against Man Utd in the PL, Jermain Defoe has only managed two goals in 18 PL apps versus them since.
7. Southampton v Swansea City
The last three Premier League encounters between these sides have seen the away team win 1-0.
There have only been seven goals scored in the six Premier League clashes between the Saints and the Swans.
8. Newcastle United v Chelsea
Newcastle United have won their last three Premier League home games against Chelsea.
Jose Mourinho has never won a Premier League game at St James’ Park (D2 L3) – the only other PL stadium he’s not won at is the Emirates (D3).
9. Watford v Crystal Palace
Odion Ighalo has scored 20 goals in 24 league appearances in 2015; more than any other player in the top four tiers of English football.
Palace have won 15 points in their last seven PL away games (W5 L2), two more than they have won in their last 12 PL home games (13 points).
10. West Bromwich Albion v Everton
West Brom have failed to win against the Toffees is their last five Premier League encounters (D3 L2).
On the nine occasions Everton have scored first against WBA in the Premier League, they have remained unbeaten and dropped just two points (W8 D1).Come on Martial and Darmian. Need some returns for once.
Thanks for posting
+1
Just thinking out loud, but after today's utter dibacle, anyone else think Sunderland may just decide park the armored tank, so as to avoid further embarresment?
Settle Gomis on my bench then.
Umm.. or Pedro?Great, great find VK. Thank a ton!
love it.
I think James Wilson and Jesse Lingard will get a run out against Sunderland at the weekend especially seen as they are probably the worst team in the league
It would be a ideal game to give them a start.
Why else are they getting a rest against Ipswich?
Who do think will be dropped to accommodate them?
Will United feature to play with 2 strikers against the lackluster Slumberland?Anything is possible with the philosophy. 😀
they both played for the u 21s on monday night
Indeed and Wilson even managed to score all the more reason i think this would be a good chance to give them a game it would be just like LVG who loves to give youth a chance.
id certainly expect wilson to be back on the bench come saturday
Wilson starting, Martial on the bench would send this place into meltdown
and then there'll be a ridiculously smug handful among the masses.
Not sure what this theory is based on? Are you applying the same theory to City in that none of Aguero, KDB and Sterling will start this weekend because they weren't rested in mid week?
My theory is based on there going to get a game at some stage and this would be a great chance for them
What were City at going all out i dont know only thing i can think of is Pelli is going all out to win Capital 1 cup or he was under a bit of pressure after losing 2 home gamesWilson only started 2 games last season. He may be on the bench but he won't start ahead of Rooney or Martial
They didn't have CL last season. They have to win against Wolfsburg after the Sunderland game.
Dont be daft do you think Wilson will start only 2 games a session for his whole carrer at United or do you think he might improve his tally this session seen as LVG hung onto the lad and his track record with putting faith in the younger squad members?
i'm thinking of having what would be my biggest ever bet on chelsea to beat newc. i'm a newc fan so it's anything but a bias, and at 8/13, i feel like chels are a cracking bet. thoughts?
How big is biggest ever? It looks good to me, but I'm worried the lack of Costa would hurt them.
in the region of 1000e, with a view to lay (betfair), might sound silly but he's awfully overrated imo, has contributed nothing this season, and with him out hopefully it might give remy a chance vs former club. watching newc is just so hard on the eyes. we offer nothing in any position apart from GK and RB. pedro should have a field day! just a bit worried coz losing that would hurt me :/
😮 That's a shedload, don't do more than can afford to lose! In principle they're good odds though.
I just don't like to throw away value when I see it. Would've made a mini fortune in NFL the last 2wks had I gone with my instincts and had the cojones to put what I intended to. Feel like this is another opportunity ☺
pick 3 to play:
a. Darmian(SUN)
B. Kolarov(tot)
C. Azpilicueta(new)
D. Dawson(EVE)
E. Gomez(AVL)
Thanks!Kolo, Azpil, Dawson
ab c/d

a,b,c.. easy 🙂
Cheers! 🙂
This post should have been in hot topics. I copied and pasted the entirety of into my document for thinking about my next transfer.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/09/22/the-watchlist-updated-gameweek-7-the-defence/?hc_page=3#hc_comment_11331452+1 bookmark the spreadsheet if you havent already!
I also have this, which is less detailed but includes goalkeepers:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WN7wHzk8VeoCdPEZM40uFi0UVUVM81RU9dNl5R1GlBc/edit#gid=1197409689*Woops, this is the published link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WN7wHzk8VeoCdPEZM40uFi0UVUVM81RU9dNl5R1GlBc/pubhtmlThanks Balders
Wondering why Cresswell is so low in the BAPs... but I guess it just is what it is.No idea, I must admit I'm shaky on the workings of BAPs but just take the numbers for what they are. Check out KdB on the 3rd tab 😮
Nice work Balders 🙂
What do the baseline BAPs exclude? Just Goals/Assists? 15 of KDB's came from his goal I think, which is probably why he's looking so high up on that table.
Definitely, thanks for the link HoH! Shame what goes for a hot-topic.
Thanks!
United fan here, i actually think Martial will start on the bench against Sunderland.
Good call. Usually managers sit players the game after they score a brace.
Haha it's LVG, but yeah we shall see.
As Rafa would say: you have to consider the player's minutes.
😉
It would not surprise me in the slightest especially with the champions league in med week
Why risk your big guns against Sunderland and a ideal game to give some squad players a go
Martial owner here btwcant see why.. dont expect him to feature at all tomorrow and will be ready and raring to go come saturday.. actually think he will be vital for us as i expect sunderland to come and sit deep and we will need his pace and runs in behind to break them down
Oh come on now United would beat Sunderland with me playing up front
Put yourself in LVGs shoes some players might need some time
Martial was shattered towards the end of the PSV game and the likes of Mata and Depay might benefit from a break too coming into a very important CL fixtureif he was shattered by the end of the psv game he didnt show it against southampton
every game is vital even at this early stage sure he will make changes but martial wont be one of them he gives us what no one else can up top
would be foolish to underestimate sunderland who will bring the bus and if theres any team thats gunna struggle to break that down its united especially without martialI hope so as a owner but i wont hold my breath
I think Mata and Martail might get a breeder and Rooney leads the line for a match
Rondon a good shout at 7.0? Decent shooting stats in the members section...
Hi guys, Looking to get a Saints defender for GW9 and beyond..
Which option would you pick..
A - Azpilicueta & Cedric
B - Cresswell & BertnardJanmaat & Bertrand
A newcastle defender? No thank you
Look at their schedule week 9 and beyond.
A if Cedric starts the next few weeks
Bertrand and Zouma
Bertrand, if he's back
Myhill - McCarthy
Kolarov - Williams - Nyom - Muniesa - Targett
Sanchez - Silva - Payet - Ayew - Mahrez
Aguero - Gomis - Wilson
1 FT and 1.3 ITB.
Muniesa to Evans is a no-brainer, right? (I'd like to save the 0.2 by going Evans instead of Dawson to help elsewhere).yes
Cheers. I'm not in love with doubling up on West Brom, but it just makes too much sense in the short-term given their fixtures. I can upgrade to an Arsenal defender when I need to.
I'd rather save and start Nyom.
I've got him started for now. I just hate being caught with only three defenders and am worried about Targett and Muniesa. If one of the other three randomly pulls a muscle in pre-game then I've got a blank.
But I'll consider holding. Thanks, Walsh.
PS: If I bring in Evans, I'd likely sit Williams instead of Nyom. Even thought the Palace match is a tough one, Watford at home has been awfully stout.Yeah fair play, just think saving is a risk worth taking..you should be fine to have three starters 🙂 Reasonable to make the transfer too though for sure.
Costa and Montero > hazard and Wilson for a hit?
don't know if Bojan is nailed or not, if he is i'd get him instead of wilson.
Right lads, Got a tough one lads.. Costa's suspension has bit me right in the arse and I've gotta take a hit! Already used my FT to bring martial in (and already have 1.8itb)
So
A) Costa --> Ighalo (leaves me 7.7m itb so can switch to a 3-5-2 and do wanyama to haz/sanchez next week) -4 points
B) Costa/Wanayma --> Ighalo/(sanchez/hazard) -8 points
C) Costa --> pelle (and stick to a 3-4-3) -4 points
D) Other
Thanks lads!C for me. Who is the 3rd forward?
Martial, Aguero, Costa currently
YYT, Mahrez, Payet, Ayew
for the midNice. I'd do C still
C
Bertrand at 5.3...very nice option. Easy switch on a WC from Cedric
Yep
Myhill McCarthy
Koscielny Gabriel Evans Huth Gamboa
Hazard Sterling Yaya Touré Mahrez Westwood
Agüero Lukaku Wilson
1.3m ITB
GW8: Yaya or Sterling -> Payet
GW9: Lukaku -> Sturridge
Yes?GW8 yeah, GW9 nah, swapping great fix for bleugh fix.
