We delve into the members’ data this evening and assess the main performers from the weekend’s round of fixtures. Palace’s two-goal hero, Chelsea’s ever-improving defence, Watford’s front two and Sunderland’s raiding Dutchman all make the cut in light of their Gameweek 14 performances.
-
Too many gambles in this team?
Butland
Bellerin Kolarov Bertrand
Ozil Hazard Mahrez Firmino
Lukaku Kun Vardy
McCarthy Francis Williams Westwood
Who to captain? Between Ozil, Kun, Lukaku and dare I say it..... Hazard I think! -
Alderweireld, Dier or Moreno?
-
❓
-
To purchase
-
Toby
-
-
Alder
-
-
Alde imo. Still don't trust Pool to deliver many CS and Alde has shown he can deliver attacking returns and baps so can match Moreno there.
-
thanks, my williams or rojo replacement for next GW is sorted
-
-
-
too awesome to be bottomed! rp

I'm trying to figure out what this "JOE.co.uk" Facebook page used to be. It just randomly appeared that I was following it one day.
-
you shouldn't drunk Facebook I think! 😛
-
I think you may be right

-
You're not wrong there......absolute rolled gold!!!

-
yo wtf
-
?
-
that was hilarious
-
ah haha
-
-
-
-
-
Pretty surprised to see that Newcastle have 2 CS in last 4.
8 conceded in last 2 mind.
They've recalled Mike Williamson from his loan so that has to be good news!-
Remember that one of those was Bournemouth who should have had 10 goals. Even then there defense looked terrible.
-
I do remember. I watched that game and I totally agree. I was verging on tears at the injustice! Just an anomaly that caught my eye.
2 CS followed by 8A in next 2

2. Aguero
3 Kane-

Thanks

Kane

Top 3 scoring teams from 14 games:
Man City (30)
Leicester (29)
Everton (27) - impressive considering their hard start-
and United only on 20 surprisingly despite how boring and unimaginative we've been! ❓
-
To be fair you guys have been the last few games...but I don't blame LvG. He's grinding out results until January. Then he'll sign a top attacker.
-
he should have done it this summer, or at least held onto the likes of Chicharito
-
-
-
-
Guys, as a massive fan of what Ozil has done lately and a longish-term owner I have serious doubts about his likely output this weekend.
With all the injuries Arsenal have, it is surely a case of 'stop Ozil, stop Arsenal'.
Big Sam will just have Cattermole et al kick lumps out of him.
I'm picking him, but my hopes and expectations are low.-
Yeah, but the question is can they stop Ozil, to which the answer is no 🙂
-
Anybody (perhaps except Messi) can be stopped if the focus to stop 1 player.
Good point.
A solid reason not to Captain I think.-
I wouldn't captain Ozil this week tbf
-
Thanks mate. I've definitely excluded him from the armband conundrum.
-
-
That is the obvious question yes! With Big Sam's dedication to stout defensiveness and that singular focus (my God, what a miss Alexis is) I suspect they can limit his influence significantly, without extinguishing it
-
-
That sounds like Arsenal is a one man team.
-
I've even gone so far as to make my vice off him and put it on Kane.
-
Makes good sense to me. A CS has been a while coming for WBA and they have shipped some big numbers at home. Would rate Kane's chances of a good output much higher than Ozil's
-
all fairly moot though as I can't see Hazard (c) not starting
-
Yeah, true. Then again, there's always that chance a player pulls up in the warm up. Picking a proper VC isn't a bad habit to get into
-
definitely agree which is why I've done it 😉
-
-
-
-
-
The only way to stop Ozil is to kick him when he's off the ball. Red card incoming?
-
-
2 big decisions this week.
Which would you choose?
1. Start Schmeichel or Butland
2. Choose a captain from- Hazard, Ozil, Kane, Lukaku, KDB, Vardy
Schmeichel/Hazard ATM..-
schmeichel
lukaku
-
-
Any bench suggestions would be appreciated, currently have
Gomes (Elliot)
Moreno, Rose, PVA (Simpson, Rojo)
KDB, Ritchie, Coutinho (C), Barkley (Alli)
Lukaku, Kane (VC), Aguero-
Surely you've got to start Alli over Ritchie?
-
3 Tottenham players? That's one thing I'm contemplating but I also feel Ritchie is due
-
I agree it's a difficult choice, but I just can't imagine benching Alli after the form he's been in
-
-
I agree, Alli needs to start over Ritchie.
-

G2G? Any hits needed? 0 FT
Schmeicel
Cedric Kolarov Rojo
Hazard Mahrez Yaya Mane
Lukaku Vardy Kane
Subs: Butland Lingard Francis Saylor*-
No hits needed
-
-
Morning. Was all set on Sanchez to Hazard BUT had a realization (B)-
A. Sanchez to Hazard. (loose plan of him for 4 weeks and possibly back to Sanchez)
B. Sanchez to Coutinio and next week Vardy to Kane
Getting rid of Vardy?Hmmmm
Butland/McCarthy
Bertrand/ Kolorov/Targett/Richards/Moreno
Sanchez/Ozil/Mahrez/ Stanislas/KDB
Aguero/Vardy/ Lukaku
1FT 0.1 ITB
Any thoughts welcome-
I got rid of vardy last week ( for lukaku).
Not sure if i made the right decision yet but its nerve racking being up against such high ownership and form-
I honestly dont know! I may just go Hazard and bottle the descion
-
-
B imo
-
Thanks, i feel there may be an even ish split on this!
-
-
Probably B.
-
Cheers mate
-
-
If it was for this week, I would have gone with A but over 4 weeks, I think Coutinho(if fit) and Kane will be better than Hazard and Vardy.
-
Thanks. I do feel B is right, just shifting Vardy!
-
-
-
Let's hear some early captain thoughts 🙂
Kane for me-
Coutinho if fit
-
Good pick
-
-
Coutinho or Vardy
-
Still think Vardy can deliver?
-
Against Swansea yes
-
He's also one goal short of the all time top flight record so I doubt he's lost motivation 🙂
-
Fair enough. Good luck Jape 🙂
-
Thanks 🙂 You too
-
-
Vardy(c) hmmm... Will be a good Thailand v Singapore match up this weekend.
-
It certainly will be 😉
-
-
-
-
-
Mane
-
Interesting,
I saw Doosra mention it earlier… I think I'm just glad I own him; nevertheless, I wish you the best of luck.-
Hoping he will have fond memories of his hat trick in the 6-1 win earlier this year
-
Yep. He didn't look to bad against City as well tbf
-
-
-
-
Kane or mahrez/vardy
-
Are you looking to keep both of the Leicester boys throughout Christmas?
-
-
Haz if i bring him in, Lukaku if not
-
Lukaku? MNF? No?
-
For me personally the time of the fixture has little influence with my decision.
+ I've got Barkley and Lukaku in that game so...-
Good to have Everton double up. But MNF is just a bonus to the current form he's in.
-
It's really not an obvious decision between Kaku and Kane for me really tbh.
But it's half gut/half stats to pick Kane
-
-
-
-
kane for me too unless i change to lukaku
-
Either Ozil or Lukaku for me. Have Barkley as well, but fear Sunderland defence could be hard to break.
-
-
Just did Sanchez ➡ Hazard, I know he's not in form but there were signs of improvment against Spurs and he could've easily had a goal if not for that brilliant save from Lloris. BOU is too good to ignore, especially when Bournemouth could be fielding their 3rd choice keeper.
-
See above! Im am torn abit, your logic is sound. hes a good choice
-
Thanks Sab, I would go for it if I were you, but, in saying that if you're set on getting Kane in GW 16 for NEW then I would probably get Coutinho if he gets through the cup game unscathed.
-
-
I will probably do that too, despite having Willian and NOT having Ozil. That is with my FT.
-
I think Ozil's output will decrease with Sanchez out, doubling up is debatable but is definitely an option.
-
-
-
My D
Myhill Butland
Kolarov Bellerin Azpi Souare
1 FT. 3.ITB
A) Myhill -> DDG
B) Other (suggest)
C) Save-
Save
-
-
Right, ok. I think I've decided:
Scenario 1 - If Fonte is out 3+ weeks then…
Use my FT on Fonte - Toby
Scenario 2 - If Fonte is out 1-2 weeks then…
Use my FT on Francis - Rose
Scenario 3 - If Fonte is fit and Firmino didn't get a rest then…
Use my FT on Sanchez - Silva. Benching Firmino and Moreno being my only Liverpool Cover.
Scenario 4 - If Fonte is fit and Firmino DID get a rest then…
Save FT
No more thinking for FPL required this week 🙂 Good night all -
This is going to be my 11 after making a strange transfer.
Butland
Cedric, Smalling, Bellerin, Moreno
Hazard (vc), Willian, Barkley
AGUERO, Vardy, Lukaku (c)
Subs: Mc, Ayew, Mahrez, Richards
Bench?? Captain?-
If Chelsea and Everton don't perform, you're fecked.
-
I agree. But I'm going to sell Willian after BOU. Perhaps, Willian + Ayew > Ozil + cheapie
-
-
Would start Mahrez over Cedric
-
Thanks
-
Agree wit this
-
-
Not loving 2 Chelsea mids. Like the captain.
-
Thanks. I haven't got Hazard yet. Want him and Willian for the BOU game. If The latter doesn't do well, I will downgrade him but I'm pretty confident that the two will score points this week.
-
-
-
@Jigger - refferring to your comment on the FIFFSA article
Who knows if all these RMT's are just mind games or not? 😉-
Was just stirring up the pot ;). Maybe got Nishida to throw a bib at you 🙂
-
Haha I know. 😛
No bib throwing in Team Singapore camp.-
We should get together one of these weekends and watch a game at Robertson Quay
-
Happy to do that.
-
Cool. Let's connect closer to Saturday. No Sunday evening football this weekend. We can try this Saturday or then next weekend, if it works for you.
-
Can't do this Saturday as i'm meeting a friend that's visiting SG. Next Sunday I can do?
8189 3581 🙂-
Cool. Let's target next Sunday.

Hello all. How was Silva last night? Did he get any assists? Thinking of getting him in. Sold KDB last week (don't even ask)
-
He got MotM, no assists.
-
How in the world did he get Motm when KDB has 2 goals and an assist?
-
-
-
Which would you choose this GW?
1. Start Schmeichel or Butland
2. Choose a captain from- Hazard, Kane, Lukaku,-
Schmeichel and Hazard
-
Schm and Haz
-
Schmeichel and Lukaku/Hazard.
-
-
Dont want to spam but 10 mins left before some boring meeting.If time a quick A/B higher up the page is much appreciated DZ
-
A
-
Thanks
-

A

Cheers
-
-
Thanks for replies here and up higher on the page. It seems to have no clear favourite which is fine, confirms to me it is a close one. Its time for me to make the choice myself. Thanks again
-
-
Bench two:
Janmaat (LIV)
Kolarov (stk)
Aldeweireld (wba)
Ivanovic (BOU)
Smalling (WHU)-
Janmaat & Alderweireld.
-
Hardly see you recently. I was told last week you know everything regarding FFScout when I posted a question to ask whether anyone knows how to join the 2 dead zone leagues run by our members. Do you know who are the owners for these 2 leagues?
Classic Dead Zone
Official DeadZone League-
I think they're run by Test Eagles and Messimerized (who doesn't post (much) anymore).
-
Ok, do you know any of the league codes and any entry criteria do join these leagues?
-
The only criteria is you have to be someone who posts in the deadzone, so if you look out for them I'm sure they'll let you in. I don't know the codes myself sorry.
-
Cheers, it helps.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Janmaat and Toby
-
I'd be tempted to play 4, but oh well.
Janmaat and Toby
-
-
prob the hardest decision I will have to make in a while.
mahrez mane kdb ozil deolefeu
kane vardy Kaku
who do I bench.. soooo hard after deolefeu performance last night-
guess no one is replying Cuz they don't know either lol
-
Mane
-
-
Anyone not feeling the Barkley love?
The stats aren't as good, there's the argument that it's a purple patch and he will be able to keep up his High Conversion rate. Which side are you on?-
o/
-
Who's your Sanchez replacement in that case?
-
Coutinho
-
Cheers, as it stands, I am joining you.
Thoughts on Hazard? Fixtures are great and there's the possibility he starts upfront, no stats to show for it though.-
No underlying stats to support Hazard is the reason behind I keep myself away from getting him, but I need someone to replace Mane after this GW. Could be Silva, but Hazard is also under consideration, worse comes to worst I will just keep Mane.
-
I think KdB + Silva could be overkill, especially when Aguero's still in the team injury free. We'll be scrambling for him soon.
-
I transferred KdB out last GW to fund Kun, which caused my rank drop like a stone.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
He went on a long run of blanks before his recent explosions, I'm still not convinced. I think he's going to frustrate his owners over the coming weeks.
-
Exactly my thoughts Innsie. Still remember he didn't get anything when Everton scored 6 past Sunderland and 3 past WBA earlier in the season.
Deulofeu seems very consistent with his assists. Almost like an Ozil.-
I've had Deulofeu for a couple of weeks now, he's probably the one player who I'm super happy and excited to own. Such a talent.
-
Definitely, and the fact that he is at just 3% ownership as compared to Barkley's 33% really makes you wonder why he has been overlooked so much.
Who is your Sanchez replacement?-
A large percentage of Barkley's ownership is due to the casuals near the start of the season when he was doing well.
Ozil. I'm a bit late to the party on that one 😆-
Ah yes, I did see your blog last week. Still keeping Lens though? That's a very strange selection, I do remember him being good under Advocaat, how's he doing under Allardyce?
-
Sold Lens last week. He basically played one game under Big Sam and has been benched ever since. Disastrous pick!
-
-
...your blop?
R.I.P.?-
Dunno Tina. Been busy lately, finished uni for the year and now have a job over christmas. I've (dare I say it) given up on this season and might play a bit punty from here on in, so I'm not sure how much use the blog will be, especially for the regular readers. I wouldn't want to lead people into taking the punts that I will be!
-
no problem. i remember you mentioned uni. results ok? you finished with degree?
-
Results were good thanks, pretty chuffed with them. Only just finished my first year so 2 more to go!
-
aah, congrats! what's the job all about? casual or linked to degree?
-
Just casual. Need to earn some money, it's tough being a student!

Guys good to go and save FT?
bego
bellerin skrtel vvd
ozil kdb mane willian
kane lukaku vardy
McCarthy mahrez morgan dann-
Don't like to bench Mahrez, but also not really sure who to replace with tbh. Other than that, I think gtg.
-
Cheers. Its between mahrez and willian for me
-
I have mane mahrez kdb ozil deolefeu kane vardy Kaku. . I don't know who to bench either sigh
-
Same situation. Between mahrez and deolefeu I guess
-
-
-
-
save. who u cappin.. kane or Kaku for me
-
Kaku
-
I feel like prob vardy is due to blank soon.. mahrez to blank again I highly doubt. that's what killing me. I Wana bench deulefeo but after his performance last night I need to reconsider
-
I might not have the bells to bench mahrez after having him on my bench for his 15 point haul earlier in the season
-
you are afraid to bench vardy huh.. lol I am too.. it's gona be a tuff decision. I am a cfc fan but I would bench Willian if I were u.. easier decision for u than for me with my players
-
-
-
-
-
I'd bench Willian.
-
If I bench him at home to Bou when would I ever play him?
-
Well that's the thing, since you've got him it pretty much forces you to play him this week. I don't rate Willian as a fantasy asset at all.
-
Got him instead of Barkley few gws back purely cause I support the blues and wanted a Chelsea player in my team. Worked out well!
-
-
-
-
-
Interesting to see Ozil and Lukaku in a two horse race for captains pole considering both play against tight defenses.
Between kane/coutinho/mane myself-
I'm going with kane
-
-
How do I look for this GW? Any help is appreciated.
Myhill
Coleman Moreno Nyom
KDB Ozil Barkley Hazard(c)
Lukaku Vardy Aguero
Bench: Alli Janmaat Simpson
no transfers 1m itb. TV 106-
Looks good.
-
Gtg.
-
-
Who would you remove for Ozil?
Butland Henessey
Azpil Bellerin Moreno Francis Huth
Hazard (c) KDB Coutinho Barkley Mahrez
Kane Lukaku Vardy-
Maybe Mahrez, since you have Vardy, and I think not worth to keep both Leicester players with their upcoming fixtures.
-
Mahrez if you can afford it, Hazard if you can't
-
-
So Baines played a few minutes...how did he look? anyone saw that match?
