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.

    I really want Kane :

    A: Costa > Kane ( can get Coleman next week then )

    B: Martial > Kane ( will have to be Jagielka next week (£)

    C: Forget Kane for now, Costa and Martial both have good fixtures too

    * The appeal of Kane playing Bournemouth plus Villa home on MNF next is my reasoning, plus with Chelsea dire attacking stats and Martial out wide

      i'd want eriksen more than kane

        Midfield is full of performers who in just can't drop, but I do fancy him too

        1. mgilbert86

          he's been out a few weeks but look when he plays, he gets points

        Be glad you got his points, but he still doesn't look amazing to be honest.

      Why are you so keen on Kane?

      1. Jay_
        11 years, 3 days ago

        Fixtures and his been taking a lot of shots and good position's, the only (most important of course) thing missing is goals, and his on pens most of the time, and thus may sound silly but Daniel tells me explosion imminent, and he really knows what his taking about, plus holding onto Costa and Martial when the numbers aren't there seems too reserved, I like to play aggressive,, I may even captain him next week too on MNF

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Hmm, good answer. Hadn't considered him but I might think about it now...

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          I agree. I like the look of Bony and Kane for Costa and Martial coming weeks but without too many hits

  2. Pellegrini Falcon

    KINGOLLIE
    Help me out guys.

    I have Gomis and 0FT.

    Would you:
    A) swap him for Vardy now (-4)
    B) keep for Villa game, then swap for Bony for free next week for the NOR game.

    Ps i do have mahrez if that even matters

    1. Nerazzuro
      11 years, 3 days ago

      Coin flip really. Go with your gut. OR to put it more simply, if you think Gomis wont score and Vardy will then do it.

      1. KingOllie
        11 years, 3 days ago

        it just worries me that Vardy is a big captain choice this week. Although i dont think CP deffence is too bad. I think having Bony for NOR and VILLA is gonna be game breaking though, so tempted to stick to B

    2. Jay_
      11 years, 3 days ago

      Go for A, Gomis and Swans are just blunt, and Vardy and Leicester are on fire, forger the fixture Gomis just ain't doing it

      1. KingOllie
        11 years, 3 days ago

        Yeh im going for A now before price rise.

        Il swap Costa for Bony gw11 instead

    Pick 1 to bench this GW:

    Ighalo (stk)
    Ayew (avl)
    Mahrez (cpl)

    1. finchie89
      11 years, 3 days ago

      statisticly speaking, ayew.
      But i am battling with it too.

  7. finchie89
    11 years, 3 days ago

    I need some help with a transfer

    A) Ayew to Wijnaldum( Watched the swansea stoke game and he was awful and only 1 in 5 games has he returned any attack points) do think it is time too move on
    B) Mané to wijnaldum (i am thinking since a have pellé too and i want a versatile midfield since, southampton next 3fixs after this gw, everton and utd have nice fixs after this gw too.)
    C) Keep the team as it is.

    1. finchie89
      11 years, 3 days ago

      i have a kdb and sanchez, mané,ayew and payet.
      I will keep kdb,sanchez and payet.
      Ayew is out for good after this gw but should a jump on it straight away and catch another midfielder on form or hope for the best.
      Mané is good but i want versatile midfield and alot of midfielder are bringing attacking points...
      I am thinking mata next gw for mané/ayew

    2. ​
      11 years, 3 days ago

      Ayew to Wijy could be good

    3. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 3 days ago

      I do think it's time to move Ayew on but not sure about Wijnaldum, Norwich's balance looked awful in most of the game, though happy with result it is rather flattering. I feel against a better team he and Janmaat not tracking back enough will cause more problems than points gained.

    Trust me, it's paradise. This is where the hungry come to feed. For mine is an FPL generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven't tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it.

  11. Jandal Tan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 3 days ago

    Assuming both are fit and playing, what are peoples thoughts on Coleman vs Baines?

    Looking at the past couple of season performances, Baines appears to provide significantly more assists (14 vs 6), while Coleman has scored slightly more goals (9 vs 7).

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 3 days ago

      Coleman as I'm guessing a lot of Baines' attacking points came from the set pieces he no longer has. Plus Coleman is cheaper.

      1. Jandal Tan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 3 days ago

        Thats a good point, a lot of Baines goals were from when he took penalties, which Lukaku is on now? Will he not take free kicks when he's back though?

    2. Jay_
      11 years, 3 days ago

      It's got to be Coleman I think, will be frustrating owning Baines and they get a pen, surprised Coleman has more goals, makes me want him even more

      1. Jacques The Lad
        11 years, 3 days ago

        Surely Baines won't be on penalties?

        1. Jay_
          11 years, 3 days ago

          That's why it would be frustrating, thinking of what could have been

      2. Jandal Tan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 3 days ago

        Coleman did have more minutes over those two years, maybe due to Baines injuries? Which could be another reason to go Coleman?

    3. OPTA FPL
      11 years, 3 days ago

      Baines is too old now, off pens

    4. PINKFISH (SANCTIONED AND GA…
      11 years, 3 days ago

      Yeah Coleman. Those essential Baines days are long gone.

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 3 days ago

        I prefer Baines. He is also IMO a better penalty take than Lukaku. Hopefully also on set pieces now that Mirallas seems to be out of the equation somewhat.

        1. PINKFISH (SANCTIONED AND GA…
          11 years, 3 days ago

          Need him back for sure and he does deliver a good dead ball and I take your point with Mirallas.also. I still favour Coleman, but it may well be they are both good options, as Everton have been operating under a patch up at the back for most of the season.

          Last week was particularly disappointing.

  12. HurriKane
    11 years, 3 days ago

    If you were to double up on arsenal mid with Alexis who would it be ?

    Ozil or Walcott ?

    Ozil keeps getting better game by game and as we know is consistent when on form meanwhile

    Theo is the more explosive option

    Thoughts ?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 3 days ago

      Ozil

    2. sleecc
      11 years, 3 days ago

      Ozil, still really not sure how nail is Walcott.

    3. Jacques The Lad
      11 years, 3 days ago

      Walcott if you have decent 5th mid in case he doesn't play

    4. Jay_
      11 years, 3 days ago

      Ozil

    5. Jandal Tan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 3 days ago

      I'm liking Ozil at the moment, nailed on and seems to be hitting some very good form, and as you say, more consistent from an FPL point of view, which I like too.

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 3 days ago

        Walcott, Ozil seems a frustrating player to own. He did his best to miss that chance last night.

        1. Jandal Tan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 3 days ago

          Walcotts ppm will be higher, but Ozil will get more minutes. Obviously wont score as many goals, but his assist count and creativity is very good, as outlined in this article!

      Ozil

  13. Jacques The Lad
    11 years, 3 days ago

    Does this backline have too much invested in it?

    Butland McCarthy
    Kolarov Darmian Jagielka Evans Richards

    1. Jay_
      11 years, 3 days ago

      A wildcard could be better if it's not a wildcard it's good

      1. Jacques The Lad
        11 years, 3 days ago

        Nah Its not

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 3 days ago

      No, it does have Evans though, which is worst than over investing.

  14. bibon27
    11 years, 3 days ago

    bring in Wijnaldum for a hit to avoid price rise?

    1. Jacques The Lad
      11 years, 3 days ago

      If money is tight and theres no other pressing concerns, I guess so

      1. bibon27
        11 years, 3 days ago

        but will Wijnaldum continue to score? im keeping him as a 5th midfielder

        1. Jacques The Lad
          11 years, 3 days ago

          Let me gaze into my crystal ball. But seriously tho if the rise stops you from being able to afford him and he's a long term pick then sure, but otherwise take the price rise in your stride

  15. KingOllie
    11 years, 3 days ago

    Yes. Lose kolarov for Moreno

  16. All about the galacticos

      Martial

    2. Jandal Tan

      Pelle, but its basically a (3 sided?) coin toss....

    3. Hy liverpool
      11 years, 3 days ago

      pelle

  17. Dynamic Duos
    11 years, 3 days ago

    See many players reinvesting bits of the extra cash from Kun on several players and leaving nothing in bank, this will be a really headache when they want Kun back, I've gone Cabaye and Costa, so I can go route 101, cheap 4.5 in, Kun in.

    1. Jacques The Lad
      11 years, 3 days ago

      With all the cheap options this season I can't imagine not having money in the bank

      1. Dynamic Duos
        11 years, 3 days ago

        OK still put it this way you downgrade form Kun to Pelle leaving around 5, you use 2 of it to upgrade several players, leaving 3 in bank, you have lots of money in bank, but your now short of Kun, now you need to get that 2 back, get it?

        1. Jacques The Lad
          11 years, 3 days ago

          yup well if people are spreading it over several players each then it might be a bit more difficult but like Jay said below if they're bringing in 3 or so players at the fixture turn then they ought to be able to afford the necessary hits, plus Id personally give Kun a game or two to get back up to speed

          1. Dynamic Duos
            11 years, 3 days ago

            Planning hits and several transfers to essential to get one player, is a bad strategy, trust me 🙂

    2. Jay_
      11 years, 3 days ago

      I'd rather get the points now and worry about Kun with a -8 or even 12 later, Everton and United clean sheets should rake in the points steadily at the back in the next month

    3. Nerazzuro
      11 years, 3 days ago

      A double transfer isnt that difficult to fit him in really

  18. OPTA FPL
    11 years, 3 days ago

    Pretty sure Giroud will start up front for Arsenal this weekend, reasons:

    1) Walcott has been poor last 2 games
    2) Giroud scord 2 goals in 2 games he came on. Wenger needs to start him to keep his form
    3) Walcott needs rested
    4) Giroud has scored 4 goals in last 3 games vs Everton

    But if Ramsey out, Walcot may start on the right, but I bet Giroud will start up front

    1. Jacques The Lad
      11 years, 3 days ago

      Walcott has had plenty of rest and I don't think 4 would be a valid reason. If he's not playing it will be a tactical decision based on how the other team plays, counter attack = wally, possession = Gru

      1. OPTA FPL
        11 years, 3 days ago

        Last game vs Watford, was not possession game?

      2. OPTA FPL
        11 years, 3 days ago

        the staff always analyze the opponents everyweek, and Giroud has good record vs the same Everton team, he should start. it's tactical decision

        1. Jacques The Lad
          11 years, 3 days ago

          If you say so mVIII

        He means 5 minutes to take them out.
        Trust me Cheeseoid, make sure it's for a hit as well.

          Must be playing against each others in the playoffs.

          Then bring them in at 2:14 after the price rise, it'll feel so nice getting to transfer them in again

    Gomis and Gomez need to go. Preferably for Lukaku and Bellerin. One this week and one next. Arsenal play Everton this week, so which do I do first?

    Defence otherwise will be Richards Kolarov Dawson (Creswell on bench)

    1. Futbol Heritage
      11 years, 3 days ago

      Already got Pelle and Vardy, any other forward options better the Lukaku for the foreseeable future?

    2. sleecc
      11 years, 3 days ago

      Get Bellerin first, Lukaku next GW.

      1. Futbol Heritage
        11 years, 3 days ago

        Thanks, and play him ahead of...? Richards [SWA] or Kolarov [mun]

        1. sleecc
          11 years, 3 days ago

          Richards. I'd not bench any premium defenders.

          That's why I lost the will to live! I know have one bit of deadwood in my defence (Richards), and he's a 0.1 buffer.

          Damn my lack of patience though! Hope the 4 points doesn't hurt me!
