Spurs duo Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen arrive under analysis in our first members piece of the week. Watford’s budget frontman, Arsene Wenger’s dilemma up front and Leicester’s out-of-position Ghanaian are also on our radar after impressive weekend showings.

    10 years, 11 months ago

    Front 8:

    Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Mahrez, Sinclair
    Vardy, Ighalo, Pelle

    Sinclair and Ighalo ----> Mane and Kane worth -4pts?

    1. EWH2020
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I would be playing AOA this week too if I did this

      1. S.Kuqi
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Next week looks far better for playng AOA

      2. Meinhoff
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Don't take a hit to play AOA, just do Ighalo to Kane

    2. S.Kuqi
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I would probably just do Sinclair to Mane.

    3. _Gunner
      10 years, 11 months ago

      similar to what am doing

      go for it KANE (C)

      1. Jax
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Kane v no manager villa. Won't be easy

    4. Beavis
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I'd just do one of the two transfers and not take a hit.

    5. *sigh*
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Who would you bench if you did both? Just do the first one imo.

    6. stachman
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Save FT or do smthng in defence. Front line looks peachy...

    7. Whats the Huth
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Why get rid of Ighalo? Kane would be a one week punt at the most

  2. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Let's try this again.

    Fabianski and Whittaker to De Gea and who? Rest of my defence is Bellerin, Dawson, Darmian and Richards.

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Simpson. Save those ££

    2. stachman
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Galloway? Everton enters nice fixtures period

      1. Beavis
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Baines incoming

        1. stachman
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Oh. Thanks - wasn't aware

      2. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Not convinced they're as attractive from a defensive point of view without Jagielka.

        1. dennis the menace
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Jags replacement Mori looked more capable than he did when he came on

    3. Jape
      10 years, 11 months ago

      How much money do you have?

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Money isn't an issue. Still got Aguero cash.

        1. Jape
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Coleman or Kompany

        2. stachman
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Then go for Coleman, imo

    4. *sigh*
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Simpson or Yedlin

  3. drughi
    10 years, 11 months ago

    So this is my team for the weekend, struggling to get going this season so might need some advice.

    DDG
    Evans/ Sagna/ Huth
    Hazard/ Sanchez(C)/KDB/Özil
    Vardy/ Pelle/ Ighalo

    Rudd/Fletcher/Richards/saylor

    itb 2.4, ft already used.
    Anything worth a hit ?

    A) Hazard>Mane -4
    B) Richards>VVD/Bellerin -4

    1. *sigh*
      10 years, 11 months ago

      A

      1. Ratatouille
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        A

  4. Jax
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Do people ever think Aguero will be the same again? How many injuries has he had over the past 3 years?

    1. Eden Hazardous
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Each time some or the other person says this when he is injured but he continues scoring

      1. Jax
        10 years, 11 months ago

        And getting injured.

    2. stachman
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Does it matter? I'm back on the box thanks to captaining him during his 5 goal haul... Will buy him back, whenever it's possible..

      1. Catilo
        10 years, 11 months ago

        So am I! After his 5 goal haul FPL world seems right again.
        But I'm gonna wait until he scores ar least a goal when he comeback.

    3. Prøphet
      10 years, 11 months ago

      He always plays the same, i dont see any changes tbh

    4. zøphar
      10 years, 11 months ago

      its like rvp of old.. gets fit- buy, gets injured-sell and repeat

      1. Ratatouille
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I would rather invest the 13M for Aguero in my midfield and I will be guaranteed more returns than relying on a single player who gets injured easily 🙂

          I hope so (non owner of kane)

      1. S.Kuqi
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I think they are better without Sherwood.

        Wouldn't be surprised if they get draw. Teams tend to boost their playing when manager gets sacked.

        1. Jazz!
          10 years, 11 months ago

          What I'm thinking too... And Spurs are very inconsistent

    Kane (c) Pelle ighalo

    Subs...Dawson Francis oshea

    Sounds like a good plan...or not?....cheers

    2. Sess!

  7. Arteta

    Does anyone here have Otamendi?

    1. Eden Hazardous
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Daniel has

    2. Fitzy.
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Daniel does.

  8. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Morning chaps,

    debating a -8 this week, not sure if i should press the button or just panciing because i'm having a rough time at the moment. Could you let me know what you think?

    Current team:

    Begovic / Mccarthy

    Williams / Bellerin / Kolarov / Richards / Francis

    Hazard / Sanchez / KDB / Mahrez / Westwood

    Martial / Berahino / Pella

    2FT, 1.1ITB

    Transfers:
    Berahino > Lukaku
    Williams > Coleman
    Martial > Bony
    Hazard > Payet

    Am I going mad!?

    1. stachman
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Don't... Martial can turn things around, looking at fixtures. Maybr go for a hit, buy I would try with just two of your list. A and D for me looks fine

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        yeah i'm reluctant to lose my United cover. Contemplated taking Martial out but putting Mata in but again on current form that doesn't seem the wisest.

        I'm more concerned about Bony because my closest cash rival has him, but obviously i should be playing my own game.

        1. stachman
          10 years, 11 months ago

          I just can't force myself to concider Bony as such a huge threat. But I've been prooved wrong many times 😉

    2. *sigh*
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Just Hazard to Mane

    3. HammersFan
      10 years, 11 months ago

      just ship hazard for now and maybe berahino.

      Coleman not worth a hit and bony will be gone in a few weeks so keep martial.

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        is it not worth having him for those couple of fixtures though? they are pretty plum...

    4. Catilo
      10 years, 11 months ago

      1. Kick hazard out for payet

      2. Berahino to vardy or bony

  9. _Gunner
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Who to play next week?

    A- Butland

    B- Schmeicel

    1. Meinhoff
      10 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. Jax
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Buts

  10. Gideons Rolling Another One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    So Sturridge, Benteke and Ings are all out - If Chelsea can't keep a clean sheet this GW there's no hope.

    Worth riding out the Azpi .1 drop or sell for a -4. Seems a little pointless. Given my transfer would be Moreno!

    But then Costa is out so could be 0.0

    1. Jax
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Pool will score

      1. stachman
        10 years, 11 months ago

        This

      2. Gideons Rolling Another One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I may just sell for Alders and be done with it. I can ride out a -4 - I really don't fancy watching a CS go to Spurs whilst Chelsea concede again!

    2. Jape
      10 years, 11 months ago

      How do you know Benteke is out?

      1. Jax
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Cos it was on the news

        1. Jape
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Reliable news? Seen nothing on BBC or Sky yet.

  11. Fozzyb34r
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Had an absolute shocker last week, out of LMS and Balders tournament!

    Anyone got any ideas for this weekend:

    Butland
    Darmian Janmaat Berty
    Sanchez Wijnaldum De Bruyne Payet
    Pelle Vardy Lukaku

    Subs: McCarthy Westwood Huth Oxford

    0FT 4.2ITB

    1. Meinhoff
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Good team for this week

      1. Fozzyb34r
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers

    2. Jax
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Seems you have a lot of bandwagoners in your team.

      1. Fozzyb34r
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Wij? That was a panic move after some bell3nd put a fake Leicester line up on here

    3. Prøphet
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I would absolutely play Huth over Darmin. Thats just me tho

      1. Fozzyb34r
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Good suggestion, I might just do that!

  12. megatronaldinho
    10 years, 11 months ago

    as a fan of benching dilemmas, i propose that the term 'benching headache' be struck from the vernacular.

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      + 42.

    2. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Nah, I like it - you may say it's a nice headache to have but it's definitely a headache.

      Now if you were to start on 'essential', 'coverage', 'beast' (when used to describe any vaguely physical player) then you're onto something.

    3. dennis the menace
      10 years, 11 months ago

      or the term "casuals"

  13. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Dawson
    Bellerin
    Nyom
    Kolarov

    Bench one and why?

    1. Nolberto Solano
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Nyom. Because West Ham are scoring for fun at the moment

    2. *sigh*
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Nyom has less attacking threat than other 3

  14. GoonerByron
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Why do so many people like Kane over Lukaku/Bony? Clearly something I'm missing? If he's previously struggled to score all season I certainly don't fancy him much after this week with Ars/WHM/CHL/wba..

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

        1. Jazz!
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Must be a typo

        2. Prøphet

          Its a typeo 😀 its -232

            Correct, sorry.

        -2328.... What?

    2. Emp

      wham chelsea are tough defenisvely?

    3. *sigh*

      Hey why not 2 or even all 3? Go on and live a little.

      1. Catilo
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Because they may have pelle and vardy already 😉

    4. Nickofoz
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Because he has had great stats all season, just lacked final product. His hat trick should give him the boost of confidence he needs and his upcoming fixtures are very good

  15. mojoindojo
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Persist with Costa (got him last week) or get someone else on FT?

    1. Emp
      10 years, 11 months ago

      get someone else better value options with better fixture

    2. Jape
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Get someone else.

    3. Catilo
      10 years, 11 months ago

      He's injured isn't he?

    4. mojoindojo

      yeah

      1. Woy
        10 years, 11 months ago

        thanks EMP

    2. Jax
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Bony won't play tonight

      1. Eden Hazardous
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Even Walcott was on the bench last night

        1. Jax
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Only brought on cos of ox injury. Doubt city will need him

  18. GreenWindmill
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Good grief, Chris Smalling has never reached 100 points before but costs 6.4m? Sheesh. Quite fancy a Man Utd defender after this week but that is way too much.

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Don't fancy Jones/Rojo?

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Well that's where my gaze is turning now - the cheaper but riskier options. Either that or De Gea but I'm not a fan of pricey goalkeepers.

        1. Arvin-ation
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 11 months ago

          I don't think they're that risky.

          Jones seems to be LVG's preferred partner for Smalling, so should play bar any injuries(or LVG brain whacks).

          I think Rojo is pretty nailed too. Young is out so his only competition is Blind, who I doubt will get a look in the team unless anyone gets injured.

          We could have a cheap nailed on option in Darmian if we get more news on Valencia and it's a long term injury. 🙂

    2. Woy
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Darmian still starting XI?

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Risk if Valencia's injury isn't long term

        1. Woy
          10 years, 11 months ago

          OK thanks Arvin.

          Damn, need to work on the defence next couple of weeks.

    3. Nickofoz
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I know. If only United didn't go on that crazy run of CSs in earlier in the season and he would be around 6m now. I'd snap him up at that price. Just feel he is slightly overpriced although there is no doubt he will tick along nicely with bonus points and the occasional goal

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Just feels as though there should be a decent 5.5 option in there. I resent being asked to pay that much for Chris Smalling!

        1. Nickofoz
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Agreed. I'm slightly tempted by Rojo and Jones but I just know they will be dropped as soon as I pick them up

        2. Beavis
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Smalling has arguably been the best CB in the league in 2015.

          1. GreenWindmill
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            10 years, 11 months ago

            I mean in FPL terms - his (and Man Utd's recent) history doesn't justify the price, albeit it does seem to have worked out well. I guess I was hoping for a bargain.

    4. Prøphet
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I am going with DDG for Butland next week

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 11 months ago

        DDG in for Ruddy is a good looking move for me but I don't like having so much cash tied up in goalkeepers.

    5. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah he'd be nowhere near my team at that price.

  19. The Red Devil
    10 years, 11 months ago

    martial to kane/lukaku for a hit?

    1. Emp
      10 years, 11 months ago

      no npt for a hit

    2. stachman
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Give him another chance. ManU had 3 tough fixtures. Can be better from now on

  20. Fader
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Whom to capain?

    Butland

    2. Jazz!
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Bony

    3. Fader
      10 years, 11 months ago

      lol it was between these 2 arghh

      1. Jax
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Can't see Bony scoring huge. Bournemouth leaking goals for fun.

  21. Tshelby
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Don't know what to do with my FT's any suggestions?

    2FT
    2.2 ITB

    myhill,butland
    kolarov, targett, dann, bellerin, richards
    surman, payet, mahrez, KDB, alexis
    pelle, costa, vardy

    1. stachman
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Costa to Lukaku or Kane

      1. Jazz!
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Or Bony.

    2. Jazz!
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Costa + Targett > Bony + Van Dijk I'd say.

      1. Tshelby
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers thanks probably going with Kane over Bony but like VVV

    3. Fader
      10 years, 11 months ago

      id upgrade richards, dann or targett

    how about mata to barkley?
    have martial, don't have any everton

    1. *sigh*
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Good move.Captain potential for a few weeks.

      1. The Red Devil
        10 years, 11 months ago

        would you choose barkley over the likes of- winaldum eriksen cabaye mane? (have pelle)

    2. stachman
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Tough one. I sold Mata in GW3 and regret it since... Everton is tempting tho...

      1. The Red Devil
        10 years, 11 months ago

        same question as above to 'sigh'? or any other mid you'd be tempted to bring? or save & see next week?

    3. Meinhoff
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Why not Martial to Lukaku

      1. The Red Devil
        10 years, 11 months ago

        not enough money! do for a hit?

        1. Meinhoff
          10 years, 11 months ago

          probably not for a hit, do Mata to Barkley then, it's not a bad move

  23. tokara
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Will Micah Richards be available this weekend?

    1. megatronaldinho
      10 years, 11 months ago

      arrah for the love o' jaysus. he gets one point every week. u need to recognise that he's costing u points

        It's true. If you have to play him this weekend away at spurs, you really need some new players in your defence.

    Thinking about doing Ayew > Mane for free?

    Yay or Nay

    1. Jape
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Yay

    2. S.Kuqi
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Do it. Good move.

      1. Whats the Huth
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Absolutely NOT!

    3. Jax
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Ayew can score against anyone. Wouldn't get rid

      1. S.Kuqi
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Ayew serious?

        1. Jax
          10 years, 11 months ago

          It's my Mane thinking right now

    4. stachman
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I'd go for it

  25. Gizzachance
    10 years, 11 months ago

    bench mahrez, or igahlo this week ? cheers

    1. Tshelby
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Igahlo, Mahrez was rested most part of the game yesterday played like 15' but scored

      1. Jazz!
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Played about 40 inc. extra time.

      2. Gizzachance
        10 years, 11 months ago

        came on 84 min ? scored in ex time, maybe he will come of bench again

    2. Nickofoz
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Ighalo. One penalty for Mahrez and he could be in double figures

      1. Jazz!
        10 years, 11 months ago

        ^

      2. Gizzachance
        10 years, 11 months ago

      3. Gizzachance
        10 years, 11 months ago

        cheers

      4. Gizzachance
        10 years, 11 months ago

        wouldnt like to rely on a pen, an would need more than that to get double figures

    1. Dr Dream

    3. Prøphet
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Tired? THey played with second string team. Vardy came on in 60th and Mahrez in 85th

    Massive BMW ads just taken over half of my FPL transfer window!

  28. Dr Dream
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Tempted to bring in both of Mane and VVD for a hit....

    It's always said the we should never take a (-4) for a defender so I've decided I'll do VVD in on my free transfer first and then bring in Mane for the (-4) instead...sorted...

      1. Dr Dream

    3. S.Kuqi
      10 years, 11 months ago

    4. Prøphet
      10 years, 11 months ago

    1. Beavis
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I wouldn't do it now or in GW11.

    2. Jax
      10 years, 11 months ago

    3. Meinhoff
      10 years, 11 months ago
