Our delve into the Gameweek 9 data comes around tonight, as we cast an eye over City’s weekend goal heroes in our first members article of the week. Arsenal’s midfield differentials and Newcastle’s four-goal Dutchman are on our radar, whilst we also asses a couple of overlooked recruits for our five-man backlines ahead of the weekend deadline.

    Can someone explain to me why there are people on here without Vardy or Payet? What more do these players have to do to convince?

    😡

      Why do you mind? More points for you and me.

    2. dmhomag

      Payet now is overpriced. Non explosive, tough fixtures and... shifted to left back!!!

      Vardy is absolutely on the money in every statistic.

        If sarcastic about Payet then i give you +1, if not then im really not sure what to say.

        1. dmhomag
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Truly I'd get Ozil over him at the current price.

            They are both heavily involved in everything their teams do. Create the most chances in the league,etc. Ozil and Payet if you had to chose is just a coin toss for me. I would personally get Payet cuz i have Sanchez.

      2. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Lol overpriced.....cause you really need the cash with Aguero out..

      3. Reedy
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        He's the highest points scorer in the game 😆

        1. dmhomag
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Kolarov is the highest scoring defender. Declared fit. But out of my team.

          Rotation + few weeks blanking.

          Payet is worth keeping but with fixtures I expect Ozil to outscore him over the next 5.

          1. Reedy
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 9 months ago

            Aye, I sold Kola too. I'm not saying Payet is essential but he's got to be worth his price based on what he's done so far.

      4. Shifty
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Agree, Payet might be overpriced now.

      5. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Hazard wasn't very explosive last season, but he ended as top scorer in the entire FPL. There's a lot to be said for an assist and bonus every week.

    3. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I had Mane over Payet.

      I still think that might be a good idea for the next 5.

      I made a mistake on Vardy, as I didn't fancy his fixtures... And opted for Sakho at the time instead. In any case, I've now used my WC and I still don't have them.

    4. A.T
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I thought having Walcott would be better. Silly me. 🙂

      1. dmhomag
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        The rotation just kills as a fpl prospect.

        1. A.T
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          What rotation 😉

          1. A.T
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 9 months ago

            You're right though, the possibility is always there.

    5. Doolittle
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I really want to own Payet, the simple reason is that I don't want to drop any of my midfield. I'm happy with Sanchez, KDB, Mane and Mahrez, an option would be to switch to a 5 man midfield, but I have had more pressing matters.

    6. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Been going without Vardy since I needed Ighalo as a cheap Kun enabler. Brought in Pelle rather than Vardy last GW, got Vardy for a hit yeaterday.

    7. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      First time Vardy owner this GW, drought incoming.

  2. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Wenger quotes:

    The Arsenal boss said: "He [Aaron Ramsey] is alright but very down because he told me that his hamstring is quite a tough one. He's out.

    "Alexis? You could see he was jaded physically. He still pushes himself too much and finished exhausted. Two games with Chile, plus travelling plus Watford and tonight. It's too much."

    Alexis will 99% start and be rested next midweek in C1C - but still something to keep in mind though.

  3. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone else looking to double up City mids next week?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Got Yaya in for a hit this past week - was a complete failure but happy to keep for NOR and avl.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Was set to bring him in but not sure anymore after getting subbed during ht against Bournemouth.

        Looking to bring Sterling for Deadwood or Silva for Mahrez

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Not sold on Sterling......Silva though would be a great choice.

          Like Yaya though he may see more limited minutes with ongoing ankle problems and CL games.

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Could be.

      Ozil Silva Sanchez KDB Payet

      For the week.....

      1. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Mahrez looks such a great option for the next 3-4 games.

        1. Alittude
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          think yaya is done, having another sook season

      2. naits
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        I reckon you gotta take some hits to manage that?

        1. Prøphet
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          I wouldnt need too, but that midfield looks very tasty. Would be an AOA played for sure. Might do it with mahrez instead of Ozil

        2. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          No..no hits needed.

          1. naits
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 9 months ago

            Indeed very juicy then

    3. Prøphet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I will most likely double up in mid with Silva/Sterling depends if silva is fit. I think i will go with Sterling and then ship him out to fund Agu back i guess. Thats the plan, but plans change.

      Will have to sell either Westwood or Mahrez. Will most likely be Westwood and cause myself a huge benching headache.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        We have similar plans. Agreed with massive benching headaches until Kun is fit.

        Altough looking to play AOA in gw11

        1. Prøphet
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Same as me, that is my plan but i was hoping to save AOA for gw 38 with goals galore 😀

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 9 months ago

            High five! We are going to smash them 😎

  4. Alittude
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Next week which transfer should I make?

    A)Drinkwater to Payet?
    B)Drinkwater to Cabaye?
    C)Francis to Bertrand?

    Want to have all 3 eventually just wondering what would be the best order to get them.

    1. Reedy

    6. Billy Gilmore
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Depends if Mata retains his starting spot.

    7. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Think I'd get Eriksen for the next few TBH, if I had room in midfield. Could always reassess later.

  7. Deece
    • 14 Years

    Play Evans and Martin against eachother or play Hutton and bench one?

    1. Ginola14
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      evans and martin, more likely to be involved with goals

    2. A.T

      First two

    3. Reiko

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years

      BC

  10. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Is Ozil now a viable option ?

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Very.

      Playing better than he's ever played in the prem and very much the equal of the City mids.

    2. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Cazorla is a better option in my eyes as he is on pens

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        That's about all Cazorla has going for him this season. Ozil a far better option imo.

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Cazorla has more SOT and SITB and is just a tad behind in chances created than Ozil

          1. Billy Gilmore
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 9 months ago

            Maybe at the start of the season. In the last 4:

            Ozil: 5 SITB, 3 SOT, 17 CC
            Cazorla: 3 SITB, 1 SOT, 6 CC

            Not even a contest

            1. FPL Daniel
              • 17 Years
              10 years, 9 months ago

              EH mate Cazorla is stat troll. I think last year he had 15-16 SoT without scoring. That is about non penalty goals. Don't go there. I felt in that trap too

      2. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        He relies solely on penalties though - may as well just buy Noble.

        1. dmhomag
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Cabaye

      3. Fitzy.
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Ozil averaging 6 points a game, Cazorla 3 points a game. He'd better start getting a penalty every game for that reason to be valid...

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          See above

          1. Fitzy.
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 9 months ago

            Would rather look at points scored myself.

      4. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        How many of those has he scored this season?

    3. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I suppose he always has been. Just difficult with so many promising mids to choose from.

      1. Ginola14
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        would you double up with sanchez tho?

        1. dmhomag
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Nobody saw a problem with a Kun + YYT/Silva/KDB double up...

        2. I Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          I own both

        3. Reedy
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          This is the other thing...I'm not sure. To be clear I've decided to go without Ozil for these reasons, but I still like him as an option.

    1. Hooky
      • 11 Years

      Can you afford Gabriel -> Bellerin?

    2. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Gabriel -> Monreal given the budget

  12. Costa's Counsellor
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Chances of Sanchez being rested?

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Higher than we'd like judging by Wenger's comments.

    2. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Slim. He'll get a rest next week when the League Cup games are on.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        This....running close to the wind though...^

        1. Hooky
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          At least Arsenal played on Tuesday and he has until Saturday evening to rest as they are the late kick-off. Much needed rest next week and he should be fine 🙂

    3. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Close to nil

    4. Billy Gilmore
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Against Sheffield Wednesday next week - a near certainty.

    5. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      LoL at your gravatar 😀

    6. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      4 days rest at home hopefully should be enough for a guy like Sanchez

    7. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks chaps.

    8. Ginola14

      0%, everton are not to be taken lightly

    Perez moving along nicely for pts....mmmm.

    1. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      NEW in general have options, after the 4 goal machine last week surely he is the better option at that price? Although Mitrovic looks solid too

  14. SuperMario
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Ruddy
    Azpillicueta // Bertrand // Evans
    Ayew // Payet // Mahrez // Sanchez (c)
    Martial // Pelle // Gomis

    McCarthy // Kolarov // Westwood // Ward

    1. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      5m in the bank.. Is Gomis ------> Vardy (c) my best transfer this week yeah???

      1. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Yes.

        Play Kola instead of Berty.

      2. Hasselbaink Forever
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Yup. Maybe a new keeper next week?

        1. SuperMario
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Exactly my thinking, always been something more pressing but biggest flop of the season!

  15. Hiphopopotamus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Morning chaps.

    1/. Who's the best Watford defender to get? Nyom?
    2/. Is Wolly (stk) playing because someone is injured (and he'll lose his place soon)?
    3/. Is Hangerland (cpl) playing because someone is injured (and he'll lose his place soon)?
    4/. Is Kelly (cpl) playing because someone is injured (and he'll lose his place soon)?

    1. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      1. Nyom
      2. ShawX back soon
      3. 4. Unsure

      1. Hiphopopotamus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers Mario. Hopefully i'll get a response for 3 & 4 - they could be really good value over the few fixtures.

  16. Jonty Rhodes

      Gomez -> Spurs defender

      Captain Vardy or Sanchez.

        Gomez - Spurs defender for a hit? Are you sure. I thought the golden rule is never a hit for a defeneder!

      Ayew to KDB

        Ayew has got Aston Villa this week and KDB has Man United! The odds are against KDB

    how many more games to give hazard a chance? had him since the start and was expecting a turn around, time to cut losses?

      Ship him out.

      I think you should have shipped him out already - I had him from the start too, but I shipped him out GW5, and it's only got worse for him since, being benched and told by mourinho he won't play till he works harder. Atm I can't see a reason to keep him tbh

      He was back in form against DKV yesterday, just lacked final returns. So might be back as an option sooner rather than later imho. Will be between him and KdB.

      I'm keeping (if i don't WC) - but shipping him out if i do. I've had enough...

        i foolishly kept him on my WC a copuple weeks ago instead of getting payet because i was hoping for the best. The thing is i know he will start to come good at some point because he has way too much class, but its beyond ridiculous now. Im thinking 1 maybe 2 more matches tops.

      I think he will do well, if the team does well. Willian looks to be the guy in form though.

        he is but i would never buy willian in fpl, his assist/goal stats are horrrid up until now

    Butland Hennessey
    Bellerin Bertrand Dawson Souare Simpson
    Sanchez KDB Hazard Mane Payet
    Pelle Vardy Ighalo

    1 FT and 0.1 mill in the bank

    Time for Hazard to go? Who to though??
    A) Keep him (and save FT)
    B) Mata
    C) Eriksen
    D) Someone else?

    That was one entertaining scoutcast. Especially that youtube comment section 😀

    Just like in total fpl.

    Wenger implying Sanchez may get rested vs Everton?

    I'm fairly happy with this team but typically I can't resist the appeal of tinkering. Any subs here or save?

    Myhill / Ge Gea
    Bellerin / Kompany / Alderweireld / Cresswell / Nyom
    KDB / Sanchez / Payet / Mahrez / Tadic
    Pelle / Vardy / Ighalo

    3.4m ITB

    Ighalo > Lukaka next week?

  23. FPL Mentor

    Good to go?

    Myhill
    Bellerin Alderweireld Darmian
    Sanchez(vc) DeBruyne Mata Payet
    Vardy(C) Kane Ayoze

    (Ruddy, Mahrez, Huth, S.Taylor)
