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 am not sure I have ever agreed with RMT's choice of bench options

      Very true. It seems to make my choices even more tough. I guess more info does this

    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.

  5. Joggers Nipple
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Morning. Nothing is long term I know but for say the next 6 weeks which 3 forwards would you go for

    Costa/ Pelle/ Lukaku/ Vardy

    *No other Chelsea, Southampton or Everton (yet, may get Coleman)

    1. Hy liverpool
      11 years, 4 days ago

      pelle or Bony / Vardy / Lukaku

      1. Joggers Nipple

        Thanks, i need to rid myself of this Costa obsession i guess

    Have I missed wijn's price rise/did i want to get him anyway?

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

      You have mised it. I was just wondering if he was a sensible option as well

      1. Baby Cuties
        11 years, 4 days ago

        wow, you're team's doing great!

        i feel a stronger person waiting until friday pressers anyway

        so you didnt go for wijn in the end then? or still mulling it over?

        for me, it's either wijn or finally give in and get payet. he shouldn't be scoring anywhere near as many goals as he is

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

          I haven't decided on anything to be honest there are a few places I have considered using the transfer. It is good to wait for the midweek games to be over.

          What if one of the forwards does brilliantly in Europe? Or an injury occurs forcing your hand

  9. BananaNose Maldonado
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Is a consistent backline of Monreal, Moreno and Cedric (with O'Shea and Simpson as backups when needed) just too weak? I have Myhill as WBA coverage.

    That defense allows me to go Sanchez, KDB, Ozil, Payet, Aguero (when healthy), Pelle and Vardy. I'd drool every week with those seven attackers.

    1. Pumpkinhead
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Not too weak. If you added a 4th you could rotate in when one or two have poor fixture it would be spot on.

    2. KingOllie
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Looks fine to me. I normally go for 2 premium, 1 mid, 1 cheap and 1 useless one.
      Klopps liverpool should be decent though, so Moreno is a steal

  12. KingOllie

    Iv given in. Gomis -> Vardy for -4.

    Time to captain the little lightbulb

    1. Pumpkinhead

      I did Gomis - Vardy for a ft. You just missed another price rise though.

      1. KingOllie
        11 years, 4 days ago

        I got in there just before he hit 7.0m!
        Rushed decision but i believe it was the right one over the next few weeks.
        Top of my ML but all the guys below have Vardy and its too worrying

        1. Pumpkinhead
          11 years, 4 days ago

          They have a nice run until gw 13. Very nice play. I often pull the same moves when ahead. Good to ride his price rise too.

          1. KingOllie
            11 years, 4 days ago

            Yeah its a little boring move, but my league is for £200 prize, so gotta do what i gotta do.
            However changes my plans and will force me to swap Costa to Bony for their Norwich fixture, should still work out ok

            1. Pumpkinhead

              No shame in it. Boring moves are often the best.

        Bring it on buddy. Wc'ed last week so may have a hangover this week lol Fixtures looking tricky for a lot of teams

          The WC advantage should carry over to bring you an advantage. My team's a little long in the tooth; needing hits to refresh.

            Haha fair enough. Best of luck mate!

    Morning DZ.

    As a Hazard owner, yesterday's start should;

    A) Give me confidence that he'll start at the weekend.
    B) Prompt me to sell after Chelsea fail to score.

    If sell, then for who?

    A) Mata
    B) Payet
    C) Ozil
    D) Walcott
    E) Wijnaldum

    Thanks.

    1. BeachBadger
      11 years, 4 days ago

      I know that pain. I frustratingly went Haz and Mitrovic over COsta and Wijnaldum on a WC. That backfired spectacularly lol

      IM holding for the weekend at least. If nought else I'll have 2 FT's to spend his worthless cash on 😀

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Lol, wow, Costa and Wijnaldum! That must have hurt. Payet to Haz on WC here. Was brutal 🙁

        Good thing is, money is never an issue when downgrading Hazard.

        1. BeachBadger
          11 years, 4 days ago

          Yeah thats one benefit I suppose. Heres hoping he kicks off soon!

    Is it a bad idea to have selection dilemmas in your 16 each week? I.e I often see people with real selection headaches as to whether to play their defender in a favourable fixture/play their midfielder in an equally as favourable fixture and don't envy such dillemmas.

    Is it best to try and find ideal rotations where you can predict your starting lineup for each gw in advance, or is there merit in having a really strong 16.

    1. Slam
      11 years, 4 days ago

      I think the extra player is always nice 😉

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      11 years, 4 days ago

      11 strong and 4 playing bench fodder is what I aim with my 15.

      1. NATSTER
        11 years, 4 days ago

        +1 .. But, lured by attacking stats, I always ended up with good 5th mid and routinely make a bench decision.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          11 years, 4 days ago

          I had Redmond at the start. Benched him for all his big hauls 🙁

          1. NATSTER
            11 years, 4 days ago

            Oh.. That hurt. Some goals on the bench for me too. 🙁

    3. BeachBadger
      11 years, 4 days ago

      These days theres money to burn with so many cheap players delivering. No harm in having options. Its when money starts getting tight that you want all your cash invested on the pitch

    4. Pumpkinhead
      11 years, 4 days ago

      11 strong and 4 playing back ups. Usually take an extra 0.5 to get a full 90 mins on your bench and I'm willing to dish that out.

      1. flippetyflop
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Thanks guys 🙂 Kind of trying to do this, however with so many good fixtures for some of the cheap 4.5 defenders from gw11 it's hard to regard them as pure bench fodder!

    5. Lallana_

      A guy in my ML is killing it. I think he's rank 64. He's doing well, even with a selection dilemma.

  25. NATSTER

    Leicester and West Ham become two most exciting teams to watch in this season.

    Payet is class. WHU scout did a good job to brought him in.

    Just thinking about who to bench this week and feel I've to play Vardy, Mahrez, Payet and bench one of Pelle or Mane instead.

    1. Pumpkinhead
      11 years, 4 days ago

      LEI, West Ham and Arsenal have been my fav to watch this year. I would bench Mane but it's tight.

      1. NATSTER
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah.. Arsenal have also entertained us well. They always make me wonder why attacking look so easy while Liverpool (under BR) could not even create chances.

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Mane, yeah. But it's a tough call.

      1. NATSTER
        11 years, 4 days ago

        Think Mane too. If I can't find a valid reason to play one, this question will surely keep me thinking until Saturday morning.

        1. fancy111
          11 years, 4 days ago

          L'pools defence last week was solid under Klopp, I wonder if this week it might be a little bit more lose and Mane could sneak in a good game. I'd bench Pelle, last season he was a little unpredictable. I also feel like Vardy is going to have a quiet one this week...

    11 years, 4 days ago

    Who do you think will score the highest next GW, Özil or Wijnaldum?

    1. Lallana_
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Ozil for me

    2. bibon27
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Vardy hat trick

  28. Sadio

    Those with Mane and Pelle, with Mahrez as 5th mid.

    Are you playing Pelle or Mane this week?

    1. okiwatevs
      11 years, 4 days ago

      I'd play Pelle

    2. NATSTER
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Pelle .. still finding reason to backup this decision though

  29. bibon27
    11 years, 4 days ago

    Best 5th midfielder? not more than 7m

    1. okiwatevs
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Mahrez or Wijnaldum

      1. bibon27
        11 years, 4 days ago

        already have both of them

    2. Lallana_
      11 years, 4 days ago

      Wijnaldum
