We delve into the data this evening in our first members article of the week. Watford, Man City and Everton’s strikers arrive under analysis, whilst we also assess United and Newcastle’s attacks before casting an eye over a couple of defensive differentials from City and Liverpool.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Myhill, McCarthy
    Bellerin, Darmian, Sagna, Evans, Hangeland
    Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Mahrez, Westwood
    Lukaku, Pelle, Vardy

    1FT, 4.4 in bank

    A) Hangeland -> Moreno
    B) Darmian -> VVD
    C) McCarthy -> Gomes

    Ta!

    1. Bibelnissen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Save unless Bellerin is out IMO.

  2. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Cech or De Gea?

    Already got Bellerin.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      DDG, better fix and better defence

      1. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, wouldn't agree on the better defence though 🙂
        8 goals conceded for both, with Arsenal scoring 6 more and therefore playing more attacking football, which means their defence is actually better...by this odd logic 🙂

    1. Konig Luther
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      ddg

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        hey Konig congrats on your playoffs win, Bertrand vs Cedric was the deciding factor in a match of 83 vs 80

        1. Konig Luther
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          yeah., hard victory... still need to check the next opponent

  3. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    DDG or Rojo or both for free? Going the other way McCarthy and Cresswell

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Just DDG. Consider Moreno, a saints def or arsenal (if you don't have one of their defs) with the other one.

  4. okiwatevs
    • 11 Years

    Darmian -> Moreno

  5. Captain Beefheart

    kane to Benteki or Bony for one week punt, yeh or nay?

  6. Keep the Faith
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Went to bed last night at 527K checked today after Kane's 14 points and up to 372K, quite happy with that although shows how tight it is this season, onwards and upwards!

    1. TorresMagic™

      16 😛

      1. Saniul
        • 12 Years

        Even his owners don't want that buggy bonus point. 😉

    2. Sz21
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Was pretty much the exact opposite.
      Had just Toby.. knew I was doomed.

      Only bright spark is that there isn't a huge amount in points between rankings it seems.

  7. EricManUtd
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Real benching-headache towards the upcoming GW, as I dont wanna bench Ighalo/Mahrez. So it comes down to this

    Martial (WBA) or Payet (EVE)?

    Currently on Martial because of Utds bad offensive form. Benching him though will hurt being a united-fan..

    Thoughts?

  8. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How nailed on is Nathan Aké? His attacking threat is quite imressive.

    1. Konig Luther
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      the best chelsea player atm.

      1. Saniul
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I'm surprised why they loaned him out when they have only 6 first team defenders.

      2. Jose's Magic Omelette
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hahaha!

  9. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Benteke worth a punt? Surely he will start?

  10. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Just can't decide, who to bench here this week?:

    A) Ighalo (lei)
    B) Sterling (avl)
    C) Yaya (avl)
    D) Mane (sun)

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      None. AOA?

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Already used 🙁

    2. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You cannot bench any of them! If I have a gun to my head, A.

  11. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    OK this will be my team gwk12, going to keep hold of my AOA and bench Cabaye, he has much better fixtures coming up. Thoughts?

    Myhill
    Janmaat Cedric Monreal
    Mane Payet Sanchez(vc) Sterling
    Lukaku Kane Bony (c)

    McCarthy Cabaye Richards Gomez

  12. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best Martial replacement then..
    Lukaku, Bony or Benteke.

    Conversion rate v Chances created

    Vardy, Pelle, Martial
    KDB, Alexis, Payet, Mahrez, Westwood

    My other attackers..
    Have 4.3m in account but maybe I need that for Aguero.

    After bigging up Rojo last week and folks finally following on, I can't wait for his own goal and red card this weekend.

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He was actually getting forward tonight

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, end product is lacking a little, should've scored that volley from about 10 yards out and got a couple of headers on target instead of flashing wide. Quite encouraging though.

  14. Alittude

    I think I'm gonna drink a big glass of milk, then maybe I'll take 3 Viagra

      Hardcore dairy

  15. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    United's stats are horrendous in attack.

    Would you rather play:

    A) Williams (nor)
    B) Dawson (mun)

    1. Saniul
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Williams.

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B and I'm a United fan.

    4. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

    5. I Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same decision for me. I'm on A but unsure.

  16. Slam
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Which midfielder (short-term):

    A) Özil
    B) Wijnaldum

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A.

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A

  17. Saniul
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Well, I've had a couple of (actually four in a row) decent weeks now, finally up in the top 10 (yay!), so I can really sense a slump ahead.

    As for next week, I think it will be a low scoring week other than Leicester attack, so lining up this way:

    Butland,
    Dawson, **Janmaat, van Dijk,
    Sanchez, Mahrez (c), de Bruyne, **Payet,
    Pelle, **Kane, Vardy.

    (Ruddy, Westwood, Huth, Nyom) - £3.7m in the bank.

    My defence is really bad, three away games with two of them difficult. But hardly sure I want to use a transfer on defence two weeks in a row.

    Also, I bought Kane EXACTLY with these two weeks in mind, but not exactly sure of selling him this week. Fancy Lukaku from GW13 myself.

    So, Kane to Lukaku, Payet to some Mane-esque midfielder, a defender from United... or save and go into the int break with 2 FT.

    Much appreciated. 🙂

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, looks good.
      Payet - Wij/Ozil if you must but otherwise I'de save FT

      1. Saniul
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. That is what I am leaning towards as well, though I also don't want to keep Kane.

        1. Slam
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I know how you feel, I've owned him the last two weeks and because of the fact he's saved my game week twice now, I think I'll hold for the London Derby and WHM.

    2. Krul Runnings
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I personally would save, as I think I value that extra transfer over int break quite highly.

  18. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I'm saving the Scoutcast for tomorrow's boring drive to work

    I have definitely missed a trick the last few times

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      But the Scoutcast might make you fall asleep at the wheel....

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Or hopefully get me excited at all the potential transfer opprrtunities I have inevitably missed 😛

  19. Townsends Tactics Truck
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Which 1 to play this week

    a) Dier v ARS

    b) Evans v MAN U

    c) Delaney v LIV

    1. Saniul
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Evans from those 3.

    2. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yikes...next question

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Evans booking and 2 goals conceded imo

        1. Jazz!
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          We can only score 2 if we manage to have 2 shots on target...

    3. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Evans easy

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        nah.

        1. Jazz!
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Ya.

    4. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      AOA chip?

    5. Rains of Castamere
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      0 pts

      0 pts

      1 pt

      so, Delaney

  20. Jazz!
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A) Play Francis (NEW) (Save FT)

    B) Darmian > Moreno (FT) and play Moreno (CPL) (Long term too)

  21. Nerazzuro
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If Bellerin is indeed out, Evans -> Moreno becomes even more easy

    1. Jose's Magic Omelette
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      But Koscielny.

  22. pug_chops
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Can anyone with a good knowledge of football rules help clarify something. On Saturday in the Man City vs Norwich game Russell Martin was sent off for blocking the ball in front of goal with his arm and has therefore been given a ban. I noticed though that Sterling was given an assist which implies the penalty was given for a foul in the build up. Therefore should the sending off still stand? Do Norwich have a case for getting the ban rescinded?

    1. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm monitoring assists within FPL. There is a real inconsistency on what they give and don't give (based on their rules).

    2. Black Knights
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You've made more of this than necessary. His assist was awarded as it was his shot that Martin handled.

  23. The Pep Revolution
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Absolutely buzzing after that performance from City tonight. Finally looking good in Europe. Need to keep that up now.

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Away to Juve will be a test

      1. The Pep Revolution
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah it will be a tough game but play like that and certainly should have a good chance.

    2. Keep the Faith
      • 14 Years

      Was a great game to watch

      1. The Pep Revolution
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah very entertaining. Enjoyed it immensely.

  24. DeadStarComing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    As a Fabianski owner I can't help but notice he has been due a price drop every day for about the last week now (FPL statistics). Anybody else find the whole secret price change thing annoying with FPL?

    I know the argument - same for everyone, but it isn't! Some players seem to change price more rapidly than others. The fact it's secret stinks!

    Rant over... 🙂 . ps. I love FPL x

  25. Hanked
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Aguero's price frozen or will he drop tonight? I'm 0.1 off bringing him back if I go for Rojo

    1. Keep the Faith
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not frozen at the minute but I believe he will be frozen in a price change for 10 days once the flag is removed

      1. Hanked
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, so we expect him to drop tonight then? Sitting at -102% with FFF

        1. Jose's Magic Omelette
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Been predicted to drop for a few days but never quite made it... expecting him to hit 13.0 at least before he returns.

          1. Hanked
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers mate.

            Spoke to my mate who supports United and he considers Rojo more of a medium term rotation risk than I'd previously thought. That's enough to tip me over the edge and settle for Moreno I think.

            Looks like cash won't be an issue after all.

  26. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hi guys- help pls! used my AOA last week- so got have to drop 1 of the following for this gameweek to the bench!

    payet, mane, sanchez, kdb, mahrez
    vardy, pelle, lukaku

    any ideas? I m confused as hell!

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bench Sanchez. He will blank. But you probably won't be able to do it so Payet or Pellè.

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I can t get my head around benching sanchez!

        I m torn between mane as I have pelle coverage or payet....

      2. Jose's Magic Omelette
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Fellow Sánchez benchers unite!

    2. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      identical front 8 to me - i'm leaning to sanchez mainly because he;'s arsenal vs spurs 🙂

      also after bayern munich where he must play maybe not so hot

      and who else could you drop given the opponents?

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Its a tough one.... I m a spurs fan and it almost makes it easier if we lose and sanchez scores... can you imagine 2-0 arsenal with sanchez goal and assist?!

  27. Slam
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    In order to fund Aguero:

    KDB to:

    A) Wijnaldum
    B) Ozil
    C) Yaya
    D) Hold

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      D for Villa atleast. Save too.

  29. Dynamic Duos

    Hmmm I was set on Sterling, but Ozil is now in my thoughts.

    Sterling goal threat v Ozil assists and involvement?
