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.

    Vardy going to go up in price tonight do we think?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Almost certain

    2. Spike ⚽️
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Close with Pelle and Payet

    3. The Farke Side Gallery
      11 years, 4 days ago

      currently on 94.9

  2. Greenbackbøøg…
    11 years, 4 days ago

    So, how about Ozil as an option now? 🙂

    1. Spike ⚽️
      11 years, 4 days ago

      An option for who ?

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Transfer to Liverpool in january

    2. Jeremiah
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Always was a good option 😉

  3. Tansey
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Ayew -> KDB or Pelle -> Bony?

    1. Spike ⚽️
      11 years, 4 days ago

      KDB

      1. Tansey
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Thanks. I know they'll both get points, just wondering if Bony will get more in the next few weeks

        1. Spike ⚽️
          11 years, 4 days ago

          You will want to transfer Bony out again in a few weeks but not so with KDB

          1. Mind över Mata
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 4 days ago

            Does that mean you'd go for Lukaku over Bony?

            1. Spike ⚽️
              11 years, 4 days ago

              No. Bony will be benched when Aguero returns. I don't trust Lukaku

      2. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 4 days ago

        +1

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      11 years, 4 days ago

      a to kdb

  4. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Would you swap Haz for Ozil or Sterling

    Own Sanchez but no city attack, in a draft league and KDB is taken

    1. Rhinos
      11 years, 4 days ago

      I'm gonna keep haz, probably out of stubborness

    2. Spike ⚽️
      11 years, 4 days ago

      For this GW no. According to post match reports Hazard was really good tonight

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Mmmm, ok

    3. The Farke Side Gallery
      11 years, 4 days ago

      I'd keep, he will come good

  5. Rhinos
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Not been paying attention for a while but listening to the scout cast has given me a 2nd wind. 2 points from listening
    1) Whilst I like Jonty bring involved it was great to have Mark and Granville dominating the first few mins. Old school.
    2) Had no idea bout Cedric gate. Personally would never bother emailing fpl, it's only a game, however criticising someone for doing it is much worse, especially as most of it seems to include insults

    1. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Loved the first point...

  6. The Farke Side Gallery
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Right then decision time....

    Is it too early in the week to do Gomis -- Vardy?

    That display last night was appalling and don't want to miss another rise

    1. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 4 days ago

      FTs?

      1. The Farke Side Gallery
        11 years, 4 days ago

        1

        1. Ayew Serious
          11 years, 4 days ago

          Not yet

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      11 years, 4 days ago

      I would. Check for rises tho

    3. fickle
      11 years, 4 days ago

      its a safe enough move i reckon, as vardy doesnt have a midweek game. would have to be a training injury

      1. The Farke Side Gallery
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Or an injury to another player

        1. fickle
          11 years, 4 days ago

          Good point. Common sense was never one of my strong points. 🙂

    4. Tansey
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Do it fast, he's nearly on another rise

  7. fickle
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Butland is forever going to be at 90% to rise

    1. Spike ⚽️
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Nah 91%

  8. John Nerdelbaum
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Bottomed and on the wrong thread

    Love some thoughts

    Myhill
    Kolarov Williams Richards
    Sanchez Payet KDB Mahrez
    Pelle Vardy Lukaku

    McCarthy / Darmian / Westwood / Gomez

    1FT, shedloads in the bank

    A) Save
    B) Gomez > Bellerin to stop haemorrhaging value and downgrade Kolarov further down the line
    C) Anything else

    1. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 4 days ago

      A

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah seeing a lot of people with similar defences saving. Bellerin is tempting however

        1. Ayew Serious
          11 years, 4 days ago

          I bought Monreal last week and still wondering why

          1. John Nerdelbaum
            11 years, 4 days ago

            Still a decent pick

    2. The Farke Side Gallery
      11 years, 4 days ago

      May as well do B

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Thanks - something to mull over.

    3. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Bellerin. He's fun to own.

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Yep, leaning towards that.

        Bellerin + removal of dead wood + not having to play Richards again versus two frees next week.

    4. John Nerdelbaum
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Thanks all

  9. pundit of punts
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Anyone else think that maybe it's time to sell Payet soon?

    CHE,wat,EVE,tot,WBA,mun in the next six. All good defenses. Can't see Payet being consistent vs them.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Get a 5th mid and bench Payet? Or too expensive an option?

      1. pundit of punts
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Too expensive.

    2. MattysFantasyFooty
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Are you not forgetting that WHU have already beat Arsenal, City and liverpool all away this season I'm keeping he could easily get pts in all them games

      1. pundit of punts
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Those defenses were poor that time.

        But the ones coming up have solidified their backline.

    3. Spike ⚽️
      11 years, 4 days ago

      I have him and Ayew. Payet is a much better pick so Ayew to Barklay GW!!

    4. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 4 days ago

      i was about to bring him in for Pedro!? Seems consistent (esp with BAPS) and West Ham have scored 2nd most in the league havent they?

      1. pundit of punts
        11 years, 4 days ago

        That's the thing. Form is there but fixtures taking a turn for the worse.

    5. A.T
      11 years, 4 days ago

      I haven't owned him yet but I can't see a space for him so he'll have to wait. I suppose it depends how much you've got tied up in him cause you'll proberly want him back soon enough.

    6. Art Vandelay
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Yep, it might well prove foolish but I am damn tempted with Payet > Eriksen/Ozil this week.

      1. pundit of punts
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Same.

    7. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 4 days ago

      I don't mind those fixtures bar United away.

      1. pundit of punts
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Brom,Spurs and Watford look tough to me. All likely to be very low scoring.

  10. Ayew Serious
    11 years, 4 days ago

    WBA vs LEI GW 12 score predictions... It's a funny fixture

    1. Tansey
      11 years, 4 days ago

      2-0 Leicester

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 4 days ago

      An irresistible force vs an immovable object, springs to mind!

    3. Spike ⚽️
      11 years, 4 days ago

      West Brom wont like the pace of Leicester's front runners. They folded at Palace for the same reason !

    4. John Nerdelbaum
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Leicester to win - irresistible at present

    5. pundit of punts
      11 years, 4 days ago

      0-0

  11. Pringle
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Any reason not to get Ozil in? He will keep getting those assists week in and week out.

  12. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Bench one of:

    A) Kolarov
    B) Williams
    C) Dawson
    D) Bellerin

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      11 years, 4 days ago

      a perhaps, maybe even c

    2. Spike ⚽️
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Williams

    3. Pariße
      11 years, 4 days ago

      A or B imo

  13. A.T
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Le Big Numbres. One of my favourite articles of the week. 🙂

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 4 days ago

      best by a mile in my book

    2. ​
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Yep, great stats digest before delving into the tables properly.

  14. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Ighalo to Vardy now and save 0.1...or wait til the City and United games have passed (have Kol, KDB, Martial)?

    1. Tansey
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Get Vardy in

      1. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 4 days ago

        I meant their champs league games...as in, wait til Thurs? Or do tonight and risk other injuries?

        1. In Like Flynn.
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 4 days ago

          My guess is you want Vardy irrespective of what happens with them anyway.

          1. Connor's Calling
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 4 days ago

            Hmmm. i do...but with Pedro et al kicking about....surely it's better to wait??

    2. Make United Great Again
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Gonna be a high scoring Derby 😉

  15. Make United Great Again
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Really good performance from Arsenal that. With all that possession Bayern failed to break them down frequently.

    Defensive and attacking coverage from Arsenal is looking a must!

  16. Tansey
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Need City cover. Ayew -> KDB/Yaya/Sterling for -4? Thinking KDB tomorrow night

    1. A.T
      11 years, 4 days ago

      KdB all day long.

      1. Spike ⚽️
        11 years, 4 days ago

        this

  17. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 4 days ago

    With Gayle sent off, do we expect Bolasie to lead the line vs Leicester this weekend?

    1. Make United Great Again
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Maybe. But I think Pardew should give Bamford a chance.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Yep definitely. I was hoping he'd start the season with Bamford.

  18. Hinchcliffe Thumper
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Tripling up Arsenal?

    1. Dr Dream
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Done already.

      Bellerin Ozil Sanchez.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Ozil captain, Wakey?

        1. Dr Dream
          11 years, 4 days ago

          Mmmm..dunno...Tough call this week. Might do though.

      2. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Beautiful stuff Wakey.

    2. Tansey
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Yep. Got Cech Bellerin Sanchez

      1. Arteta
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Same here 😛

    3. MattysFantasyFooty
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Not a bad idea especially when there fixtures after the international break are v good

    4. Make United Great Again
      11 years, 4 days ago

      A. Defender, Sanchez & Walcott?
      B. Defender Sanchez Ozil

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 4 days ago

        prefer B

        1. Make United Great Again
          11 years, 4 days ago

          Probably the best way. But who are people selling to get Ozil? So many mids are scoring well

      2. Hinchcliffe Thumper
        11 years, 4 days ago

        That's a toss. I think there's a chance that Giroud starts next gw, but Walcott's not on bench very long.

    5. Hinchcliffe Thumper
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Ignore their fixtures. They are red hot team. Just beat Bayern 2-0 in sublime style. Have Sanchez and Bellerin myself, but thrid would be hard to justify opportunity cost.

      1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
        11 years, 4 days ago

        And i'm not an arsenal fan, just saying their in good state of mind to perform suberbly.

  19. Dr Dream
    11 years, 4 days ago

    That Ighalo fella is really getting on my nerves now...just can't get along with a Watford forward in my team...

    I can feel a captain Kane on the horizon.

    1. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 4 days ago

      I love him, when your phone vibrates and you see "Watford Goal", say hello 4 points

      1. Dr Dream
        11 years, 4 days ago

        I just don't feel the love.....It's like when you had that good looking girlfriend you never quite liked somehow...

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 4 days ago

          Cause she was either really boring or a bitch?

          1. Ayew Serious
            11 years, 4 days ago

            The good looking ones are usually both

          2. Dr Dream
            11 years, 4 days ago

            Yeah...and all your mates really liked her but you kept looking at other girls...

            It's doomed.

    2. Rhinos
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Igloo will become essential over the winter.
      Sorry

    3. Zasa
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Same here Wakey, looking at one week punts before I WC & it's between replacing him or Ayew for me. Has good fixtures for a while at least.

    4. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Same boat. Dont like him in my team at all.

      Hopefully gone for Vardy this week

      1. Dr Dream
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Vardy's great...He has that "it could have been me" feel to him.

    5. Make United Great Again
      11 years, 4 days ago

      This is why I sold him for Vardy (-4) before enjoying the Vardy haul v Norwich.

  20. KingOllie
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Myhill
    Williams Jevans Toby
    Kdb Sanchez Payet Mahrez
    Costa Pelle Gomis

    Kompany/drinkwater/oxford

    0FT 1.9iitb

    A) gomis - vardy (-4)
    B) take no hits and watch gomis fail vs villa 🙂

    1. A.T
      11 years, 4 days ago

      A

  21. Tshelby
    11 years, 4 days ago

    I'd just like to thank the community for helping me getting this great rank so far and I hope I have provide also some good advise to other people 🙂

    1. KingOllie
      11 years, 4 days ago

      What rank?

      1. Tshelby
        11 years, 4 days ago

        6,718

        1. KingOllie
          11 years, 4 days ago

          Very nice.

          1. Make United Great Again
            11 years, 4 days ago

            Sexy.

    2. A.T
      11 years, 4 days ago

      🙂

  22. Lallana_
    11 years, 4 days ago

    It sucks for Arsenal fans how Bellerin will probably leave them in a few years

    1. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Monreal and him are a top full back pairing

    2. MattysFantasyFooty
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Wow, someone's bitter

      1. Lallana_
        11 years, 4 days ago

        How am I bitter? I'm empathetic. Barcelona took Suarez from us.

        1. MattysFantasyFooty
          11 years, 4 days ago

          Bit different arsenal got him from a free transfer from Barcelona and wenger gave him a massive contract at the start of this season, plus Arsenal don't need to sell their top players now unlike liverpool Tottenham etc

          1. Make United Great Again
            11 years, 4 days ago

            Realistically. Alves is aging..Barca will need a new young Spanish RB sooner or later.

            What better than Hector Bellerin (already looking like a typical Barca RB) who used to be in the Barca set up.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 4 days ago

      😕

    4. KingOllie
      11 years, 4 days ago

      He could be a loyal player? And if Arsenal start winning the prem he'd stay for a good while

      1. Lallana_
        11 years, 4 days ago

        If was born in Barcelona, my dream would be to play for them. They're European giants.

        1. Somalion
          11 years, 4 days ago

          Maybe he prefers Espanyol?

    5. Jeremiah
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Dont be silly 😉

    6. Arteta
      11 years, 4 days ago

      He's not Cesc 😉

    7. Make United Great Again
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Agreed. If Barca come calling he's off

  23. Earn your Spurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 4 days ago

    From GW11 do you prefer

    a> Lukaku
    b> Martial

    ?

    1. Spike ⚽️
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Neither but if Martial gets brought back to a central role it would be him

  24. Hasselbaink Forever
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Great podcast again Mark, Jonty & Granville. Cheers for the mention!

  25. GinjaWhinja
    11 years, 4 days ago

    If I had a WC this week, this is how the squad would look:

    Cech McCarthy
    Jagielka Kolorov Moreno Bellerin Rangel
    KDB Sanchez Barkley Eriksen Gosling
    Pelle Lukaku Vardy

    Unfortunately I'm stuck with my pooascoopa team and I don't have a WC left 🙁

    1. MattysFantasyFooty
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Triple everton? I don't even have one and wouldn't particularly plan to get one soon, There form is way to on/off

  26. Lallana_
    11 years, 4 days ago

    I wonder how Mourinho feels watching Cech and De Bruyne.

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 4 days ago

      He'll say its the referees fault

      1. GinjaWhinja
        11 years, 4 days ago

        They're "weak and naive" - both of them.

    2. Davido989
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Doubt he's bothered about Cech, you can't keep a keeper that good on the bench. And Courtois is better.

      KDB big blow though

    3. Pochecinno
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Dont forget Lukaku and Mata

      1. Lallana_
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Yup! He is pretty hasty with his player.

  27. Total Foot 5

    To me Arsenal seems like the only team starting to look really good defensively. How about double up with Arsenal in defense? Ozil is of course a good option in midfield but there are so many midfielders to choose from. Giroud and Walcott are probably out of the discussion because you never know who will start. What do you think?

      they are all pretty expensive though

        11 years, 4 days ago

        With Aguero out that is not a problem is it?

    2. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 4 days ago

      I think Sanchez and Bellerin are pretty much essential

      1. Pringle
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Yes. I am thinking Bellerin + Monreal + Sanchez

        I don't have United players apart from Martial and no Liverpool or Spurs

        1. Ayew Serious
          11 years, 4 days ago

          OK Martial

      Not at all, although you may want him back after this GW.

      How many other City/United players do you have? I think i'm going to have to wait till their games tomorrow. 0.1 is annoying...but injuries would be more annoying

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Kdb and Kolarov

    4. A.T
      11 years, 4 days ago

      None if you're happy to take a hit for an injury. I'd do it. He's expected to be one of the highest scorers of the GW.

      Don't do it if it will make the world end. Or release all the world's super villans onto our streets at once.

        Don't worry about the second. South Africa just did that.

        11 years, 4 days ago
