We roll out the final instalment of our three-part series of Big Numbers articles, focusing on players by position over the last four Gameweeks. Having assessed the Defenders and Midfielders, it’s now time to analyse the options up front, with Leicester, Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool’s strikers all turning in some impressive numbers.
Ramsey at 8.0
watching very closely
indeed 🙂
Has he still got 0 goals & 0 assists this season?
1 goal 0 assists
Avoiding like the plague.
Very much this.
Next gameweek
I won't be touching him with a barge pole if he keeps playing out wide on the right. Hasn't shown any signs of decent form (FPL wise) since his 5.5m season.
With Ozil 1m more and Cazorla 0.4ish more, I don't see why you'd consider him at all tbheach to their own but he wasnt exactly hugging the touchline playing on the right was getting in the box alot very much like mata... i agree his form hasnt been what it has been before but any signs of that and thats a very good price.. more goal threat than ozil and cazorla put together when he's on it
I used to think he was very good. Beginning to now think he's a bit meh
hasnt been great but we all know he's capable
Playing wide right doesn't help, either. Seems to be a confidence-type player.
yep very much so mate but like i said above he was still getting very involved coming in from the right much like Mata
Ramsey?? He's rubbish this season!
hasnt been great but people were saying the same about Kane a few weeks ago and the same people are draining their spuds over him now.. things can change
I'll be watching closely too. Some of the comments above are very harsh.
He had a perfectly good goal disallowed v liverpool in the 0-0 draw I remember, from one of those late runs into the box.
I'm not falling over myself to get him in but after a couple of weeks back when he's fully fit, he'll be worthy of consideration
Waiting for the disbelieving "Payet fell?!" comments...
*looks down* 😆
damn you Payet! I really thought he'd avoid the drop, he hadn't crossed the -95% mark even 😐
That's close enough that you should probably shift a player if you don't want to suffer a drop.
Yeah looking back I probably should've just got rid of him, knew it was a risk...oh well, now I can take my time. Who did you bring in for him btw? I'm looking at Delefeu & Cabaye as his replacement
Unfortunately that remains highly classified Seychellian information. I could tell you but then Balders would kill me. 😉
haha fair enough I understand. I just hope I pick the right replacement, now that I've missed his price drop! still gutted about that but I'll live 😛
Who have you picked (if you can say)?
me? I haven't made the transfer yet, still pissed about the Payet drop gonna cool off first and probably do the transfer tomorrow. the feels 😥 lol
If this was a drop that cost you sale value, you're safe for the rest of the week and can wait for the pressers before making your move - unless your replacement is set to rise one night.
I know who it is 😉
Good detective work El Presidente (assuming you have got it right).
filled it in on our sheet if you want to see 😉
Do you approve?
If its who I think it is, of course I do
Good, good. I like going for something a little different. 🙂
Parm being Modded. 🙁
Hope he gets banned.
Your comment vanished - spooky.
Really spooky. 😆
Can't believe Payet fell
Right, the smallest available national league is French Guiana with 23 entrants, anyone up for making it an unofficial FFScout league?
Don't think you can change your team's nationality in mid-season.
CAR was very popular a few years back - we made it the top country - but FPL no longer publishes lists of top countries.

2.5 itb
Wild card or not? Solutions?
Thanks
not
bony→Lukaku/kane and play willianIf you're not going to play Willian vs Norwich, when are you going to play him?
Yeah 🙂 I've not made changes from last week.
Well, Bony is an easy fix - either Lukaku or Kane.
You'd also want to fix Cedric, maybe get Bertrand, and then also Richards once you have a spare transferI think Everton player is a must in the attacking positions for the next period.
Thanks for the suggestions!
chat sh!t get
a) banged
b) banneda
Definitely a) 😀
A
B, I'm not willing to bang one of you guys.
puyol pants down..
Up*
"knock knock"
"Who is it?"
"Goons."
"Who?"
"Hired Goons."
Probably posted but:
The friendly between Belgium and Spain has been called off amid security fears after #ParisAttacks.day off for KDB and Lukaku so
All these Alexis Sanchez injury and burnout reports make me a little uneasy on a WC, no doubt he's digressed lately both stats and output wise, maybe it's the perfect chance to drop him... 😕
It all depends on what you can do with the money you get from him.
But then again, he's always been a "catch 22" type of player for me, performs when I don't own him, doesn't perform when I do
Maybe.
I did that week 7 on my WC.
Season now a train wreckHaha I bought him for the first time this season after his back to back double figure hauls, didn't work out so nicely for me
Alexis Sanchez injury is just what I need right now… 😕
digressed?
I think this is the worst time to sell him, with the next 4 fixtures, unless he's injured. Seems a bit forgotten in all the Ozil loveWell yes, his stats have digressed dramatically as has his points.
Well yeah but if he's carrying a knock/likely to have a mid season break then I don't think his fixtures are relevantJust hadn't come across the use of digressed in this way before. Not really one for stats so I wouldn't know. Think it's just speculation, don't see him being rested unless he's genuinely carrying something which we should find out in the press conference.
Apparently a reliable source has stated Wenger plans to give him a mid-season break, FWIW...
With Ramsey and Ox just returning from injury , I don't think so
I think you mean regressed, but I understood. He has mate. Nice run for Arsenal but otherwise he looks poor value at the moment
Brace incoming
@Diva, -4? 😮
Yes?
I didn't clock that you'd walked into the GW with only 1FT
Yep, and issues have been stacking up.
Blue Lion's going to have some tough decisions to make this week.
he's already on -8 so he might bench himself :S
I knew he was on -4, but didn't know he had gone to -8.
I don't think my form warrants a start 😛
We're on the Seychelles spreadsheet at the moment if you want to join us for a chat 🙂
Yes?
Yes?
say yes get banged
Banged by whom? 😯
No!
I plan to get Aguero in for GW 14, but what two FT's would you recommend for this week for me to be able to afford him the week after? 0.4 in the bank.
De Gea Hennessey
Bellerin VDV Sagna Moreno Simpson
Sanchez KDB Mane Mahrez Wanyama
Lukaku Kane BonyBony to Ighalo and save.
bony→Vardy
Which one of Lukaku/Kane do you replace after
It's 50 50 all about kun's form tbh
A. Mane > Deulofeu/Bolasie for free
B. Play Ighalo
Myhill Elliot
Bellerin Coleman Cedric Nyom Moreno
Sanchez KDB Ozil Mahrez Mane
Pelle Vardy IghaloB)anged.
this 😀
Am I the only person looking at Milner as an option?
yep
HY you've got mail
I read that as "hi you've got mail"
Close enough but you're version sounds creepier.
😀
probably
His minutes aren't secured enough
although liverpool have a nice run of fixtures from GW14 id be looking no further than Benteke possibly
Too many other strikers for Benteke to be a great option.
Might be willing to take a Lukaku/Kane/Benteke attacking 3 after city this week... Aguero isn't coming into contention until January for me. It does lead to lesser options in the midfield though...
im giving Kun a wide birth too at least until GW18.. im currently on Kane Lukaku Martial and dont see a better 3 going forward as things stand
well this is it
classic case of form vs fixtures, liverpool definitely have the fixtures, just a case of whether they can find form
having said that, i do have benteke myself
Morning gents. Im studying for my masters and seeing as its international break thought I might get your opinions on our current topic. At the moment, we're discussing online 'presence' and what it's like to interact with people and avatars online and how it compares to face-to-face human interaction.I would like to get your thoughts on how you interact with other members here on FFS. Does having a grav affect your dealings with people here? How do you find expressing yourself through words and emoticons? Also, can one truly express themselves without the Ozil face emoticon?
Note this isn't a serious study for a dissertation or anything but Im still interested in your thoughts
How can badgers type
My secretary transcribes for me 😀
As much as FFS asks to minimise emoticon use in the T&Cs I think they're an essential part of online communication. Otherwise its far too easy to misread the intent of a post. Also grav's are great here as its so much easier to remember a grav than a username and so you build more of a mental connection with a grav and their posts and character.
I agree. A smiley face can make all the difference. Do you think people attach deeper meaning to gravs and such? e.g. assuming a person has a witty personality due to a witty username or assuming someones age because their pic is an old man, or such.
Well, "Malcolm Tucker for England" certainly creates a first impression if thats what you mean. Also I think smiley gravs tend to have nicer people behind the keyboard. And dogs are just your best friends, apart from when their JTs dog of course, because JT is a ...
😯 I didn't realise that was in the Ts&Cs. Surprised I haven't been banned! 😯 😀
😀 I think it's where people were making huge images, copying and pasting characters and such. Not so much smileys front and back 😀
😎
Nicce Grav Badger! 🙂
Cheese seems to think I am a dog so I think gravs effect him significantly. 😉
I think occasionally a particular grav acts as a disincentive to engagement for me.Disincentive, as in appears hostile or trollish, or you've come to expect such an image with negative posts and things?
Jose Mourinho gravs get an instant -1 from me
Lol Sepp isn't too popular either I'd wager 😛
Burnnnn.....
You should be more activeLol I will try more mate. swamped these days
I can't remember who it was but I seem to remember there was someone last year who I didn't want to reply to because I didn't want to see their grav. They themselves seemed OK, but their grav freaked me out a little.
I vaguely remember something like that. Someones grav was the stuff of nightmares lol
Also thanks for the grav man. Much appreciated
Wilson!
grav is easier than username to remember
nice grav btw 😀 ...oh emotions
communications online without emotions like *** without soundCheers mate. Do you think you attach more to a persons grav than just an easy way to remember them? Do they make people seem more serious or funny? Or do you treat them all with suspension of disbelief?
like cheese said I think it represent me (sometimes) ... here it make people seem more funny like Diva ( a very nice dog )
With a name like HY Liverpool your clearly representing alright lol also Diva is indeed a very funny dog.
Peoples gravs definitely affect how I view them and I also think it represents me. When I changed my grav to Swiss Tony for a short while I just felt dirty.
Glad to have Dizzy backI barely use emoticons. I can never remember how to do most of them
Haha would you say it's come to define you then Cheese? Just as much apart of you now? I know its weird, for me, to see some people change their grav and username completely on a whim.
Yes. It defines me here for sure. I also like how he generally has a smile and is completely unthreatening. Much like myself.
Of course I know what you look like in real lifeAnother thing thats unsettling is seeing FFS regulars in real life. Part of me always knew Innsie wasn't Roberto Martinez, but part of me also wanted it to be true 😀
You have your real face on google plus. It is quite unsettling
Haha had to put it in there for my blog for this masters
Well I can't seem to stop using smilies and typing lol! Really frustrates me lol 😀
Haha I know the feeling. I always seem to add 'haha' to any statement even if there was nothing funny said
Note my final “lol :D” was meant to be ironic but it is still true
*laughs manically for no reason*I noticed alright lol 😀
Quiz
Who is the best player in the BPL and why?The federated states of Micronesia?
😆
The term "Quiz" usually means there is a right answer, which is not true.
It was a dig at Jazz' quiz yesterday 😕
He was asking questions like 'Who is my favourite player and etc.?'
😆I'm thinking now about ... bla bla
Still not over that are you!? 😆
now : Vardy
why : he scores when he wants ... he scores when he wants Jamie vardy ..he scores when he wantsWrong answer 😉
David Silva
ANSWER - Eden
Reason - Hazardous
Ban
Reason - Chat S*it😀
Robot , Get banged 😉
Check this.
Might be worse but I lost the will to live scrolling through them.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/11/16/the-watchlist-updated-gameweek-13-midfield/?hc_page=5#hc_comment_11848586This^^
Jazz' quiz was a joke 😆
Vardy. Highest scoring playing for a team who at best should be floating just above relegation.
Who is a better option to replace Bony? Lukaku, Kane or Benteke?
Kane, imo.
Lukaku
Vardy... really though flip a coin
The 'best' 2 or more goal market says Kane @4/1, Lukaku@5/1 and Tekkers@18/1.
Is captaining Scott Dann this week insane?
Straight jacket and padded walls for you I'm afraid
😆 its for a draft league side. Dont want to captain Kane but may be forced to.
Brilliant piece here lads - http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/can-an-astrophysicist-change-the-way-we-watch-sports/
Cool piece but I'd hate to see it be used inside the stadiums of the NBA
It would take away from the sheer spectacle of it all, sure. Though it's a very interesting idea, I'd be open to seeing it in other sports.
Payet dropped, guess I'll just wait until Friday/Saturday.
May as well now
Risers, Fallers. Fellas ?
stickies
Slamdog should see this (I'am the star player 😀 )
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QRZng81Dv8PzHcfXnPBfcWXhp5GBrHqWuIVHEGG_AYw/htmlview#
really great stuff BaldersHIstory Schmistory
We'll win anyway 😉*FYI
this is my first season on FFScouthopefully ..Barbados is v.tough one tbh
@player History
😀 nice rank HY
Martin O'Neill. The first Irishman to bring an Irish football team to the finals of a major championship. 🙂
Great to see. Hopre we try and play with some heart when we're there now
Any clearer timeframe for Aguero's return?
Probably no real news until the press conference
He's supposed to be back training this week though and Aguero was targeting the Liverpool game.
Yeah. Last week he was talking bout possibly being fit for Pool game but nothing more definite this week. Seems very unlikely he'll even be in the squad this GW
Yeah so supposedly he's training now, wouldn't mind seeing some pics but I guess well know more of whats been going on in the press conference.
stickies this mornings article, on track for this gw.
Aguero update:
"The City striker will step up his training schedule this week in a bid to be ready for Saturday’s visit of Liverpool after a six-week absence due to a hamstring injury."
http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Team-news/2015/November/Aguero-impressed-by-new-teammates/1447662228
Bench on of these:
Ayew vs BOU
Wijnaldum vs LEIAyew
Wij
Wij
None
Play Ayew.. Probably my (c) if he is certain to play
Has to be Wij
cant get into fpl anybody else having problems
kdb and ighalo or lukaku and wijnaldum
KDB and Iggy
Luka
Will they recover to play this GW?
Bellerin, Dmalling, Ayew, VardyBellerin unsure, but the rest for sure.
Thanks.
Hello DZ!
Listening to Robert Miles - Children and Fable, nostalgia is unreal!!!Steps for me,brilliant band...
https://twitter.com/dele_alli36/status/208128028436467712
He has a point you know...
😉
Guys best option for this team? have 1 Ft and 3.1m itb
1. bony > lukaku
2. whittaker > dann
3. bony and whittaker > lukaku and dann for a hit
4. save ft
bego McCarthy
bellerin skrtel vvd morgan whittaker
ozil mane willian kdb mahrez
pelle vardy bonyI would do 3.
Skrtel against City, VvD possibly not playing, Bellerin possibly not playing either. People don't usually suggest taking a hit for a defender, but I would here.1 or 3 imo.
Keep watch with the fitness of your defenders.
If all are fit, I would not take a hit imoThis.
Cheers
