We delve into the members’ data tonight and assess some of the key statistics from the Gameweek gone by. Stoke and Leicester’s weekend goal heroes arrive on our radar, whilst we also analyse Chelsea’s lack of end product, Aaron Ramsey’s central midfield display and the relentless displays of Watford’s top scorer.

    BJ blah blah blah.

    In years gone by I would have taken hits for Kane and Sturridge last week.

    I'm having a really good season, and I'm sure it's 50% membership and 50% discipline.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      10 years, 10 months ago

      20% membership, 80% own decisions imo.

  3. Özilla Firefox
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Ramsey (c)?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Go on then.

    2. edfiasco
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Tempting

  4. Christmas Cracker

    Name your best differential over the Xmas schedule?

    Theo Walcott. 1.5% ownership.

    1. Dr Dream
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Can't beat that.

    2. Jax
      10 years, 10 months ago

      he's in the same category as Aguero and injurridge.

      1. Jose's Magic Omelette
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Not sure about that.

      2. Bobbydhino - ⚒ Saint Slav…
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Injurridge....love it!

    3. Ayew Serious
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Do you have to own them?

      1. Demí
        10 years, 10 months ago

        No, although i will be getting Walcott this week. Can just be someone you think will score really well, but don't necessarily have the funds/spare transfer to fit him in

        1. Jax
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Will he start though? And what about his injury record?

          1. Demí
            10 years, 10 months ago

            That's the tiny gamble i guess, his start. Don't think he's in the category of Sturridge/Aguero at all. With Ramsey perma-CM now, Walcott looks first choice at RW, and was first choice striker before injury.

    4. internal error

      10 years, 10 months ago

      Firmino will be one

    5. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Well you just ruined that! 😡

    6. Big Sum
      10 years, 10 months ago

      silva

    7. Salah’s Sonnet
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I'd agree, Walcott, or Giroud, or even Bolasie. Alli is a good bet too.

    8. Test Eagles
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Wijnaldum ... he's got amazing stats and still flying under the radar. He'll be frustrating to own, of course, but the upside is that Newcastle have great fixtures and they're looking ever so slightly better now.

      1. Backup Dancer
        10 years, 10 months ago

        If newcastle played at home every week I'd love to own him.

      2. Ayew Serious
        10 years, 10 months ago

        7% and rising

      3. Kurtinho
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Newcastle have terrible fixtures.

      4. dush64
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 10 months ago

        He HAS been frustrating to own.

        Planned very early on to get him for Norwich, but Kun's injury changed plans. 25 pts.
        Since getting him in, I've played him for 2,3,2 and benched him for 6,14.

        Painful!

    9. Kurtinho
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Eriksen at around 3%

      1. Kurtinho
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Wait, no it's around 6.8. Does that still count? Mostly dead teams I'd expect.

        1. Demí
          10 years, 10 months ago

          I'll accept

    10. Ayew Serious
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Zarate
      5.3
      0.9% ownership

    11. A.T
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Arnautovic 2.2%

      1. Jax
        10 years, 10 months ago

        The Wij

    12. Every Dog Has Its Day
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Ramsey. 2.7% ownership.

    13. Jose's Magic Omelette
      10 years, 10 months ago

      You answered your own question. If Damian hadn't gone and done his hammy I'd have brought him in this week.

      1. Jose's Magic Omelette
        10 years, 10 months ago

        (Ramsey)

        1. Jose's Magic Omelette
          10 years, 10 months ago

          *Walcott!

    14. Dukes of Hazard
      10 years, 10 months ago

      If he stars, I think Perez could do well, however i won't be getting him, since I don't think he will outscore the likes of Lukaku and Giroud.

      shawcross ,completely ignored....

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Not completely.

        I bought him for a hit 2 weeks ago and he repaid me by being sent off for a good clean tackle. 🙁

        And then I benched him for his clean sheet against Man City this week. 🙁

        But he could still be a good choice if Stoke keep returning regular clean sheets. 🙂

    16. JØ
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Christian Eriksen. 6.8% ownership.

    17. Stimps

      Benteke

    18. che
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Bolasie, Moreno and Silva all @ 5%, that'll do me

    19. Sadio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Has to be Ramsey

    20. dush64

      Studge. If he actually plays!

    21. Costa in Wengerland
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Silva and Deulofoeu

    22. Eye of the Schweinsteiger
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Looking for it to be Delle Alli with a meagre 3.3 %

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Same, I think this will be huge

    23. Yankee Toffee
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Baines 2.5%

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        10 years, 10 months ago

        too expensive for a player that doesn't have penalty duties anymore

    24. FIFA King

      Rambo

    25. Piggs Boson
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Theo

      He'll likely be my captain this week.

        Sigurdsson, new management should revitalise him

    28. Long Juan Silva
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Theo burned me twice already this season and we're not even halfway through. Not going there again. Giroud is playing alright too, can't see Wally getting that much gametime.

    Butland
    Rose - Bellerin - Moreno
    Ozil - Silva - Firmino- Mahrez
    Kane - Lukaku - Ighalo

    Subs: Henessey, Zouma, Gosling, Simpson

    Got 6.4mill in the bank, who should I replace Ighalo with next week? Also looking to do Firmino -> Coutinho next week.

  6. Salah’s Sonnet
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Hey guys, team is:

    Butland
    Bellerin - Coleman - Alderweireld
    Mahrez - Ozil - KDB - Hazard
    Kane - Sturridge - Lukaku
    __________________________
    McCarthy: Alli, Simpson, Oxford 1FT, 0.7 ITB

    1. You reckon i should just play Alli & bench Sturridge in a 3-5-2 for this week?

    2. Hazard > Ramsey for free

    3. Hazard & Sturridge both out for a hit?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated here after a couple of miserable gameweeks. Thanks 🙂

    1. 42 Rules
      10 years, 10 months ago

      You will need to get rid of Sturridge to make sure you have at least 13 strong playing players during Xmas period.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        10 years, 10 months ago

        haha i know, what i'm wondering is whats best to do? or from the three options i've given 🙂

        Could be a good differential on the likes of KDB.

      I thinking of it

  8. SweeSwee
    10 years, 10 months ago

    With a front 3 of:

    Aguero Vardy Ighalo

    Should I just dump Aguero for one of Lukaku/Kane?

    1. flippetyflop
      10 years, 10 months ago

      yes

    2. Rhinos
      10 years, 10 months ago

      if ruled out but Swansea at home too juicy to jump the gun

  9. flippetyflop
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Play De gea or Hennessey this week?

    1. The Wise Owl
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Tough one. I still think De Gea, Southampton could bounce back.

      1.8 itb to work with

    2. Mickey Tyrion™

    4. Salah’s Sonnet

      Mane to anyone, Ramsey is my preferred option.

  12. Mickey Tyrion™
    10 years, 10 months ago

    What to do with Coutinho? any news?

    hoping he doesn't get trotted out in the 80th and get 10 minutes to pull me 1 point...

    1. fancy111
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I'm hoping he gets a 25 minute run out in their Europa League clash on Thursday

  13. Taribo West on a free

    Ramsey or Ozil?

      None of their pundits are as bad as Hoddle. Ignoring his indiscretions prior to his media career (it's so hard not to go there) he said the other day that, "Chelsea always get out of the group stages of the Champions League".

      Why

        Forcing him to fight mandatory who isnt klit

        1. internal error
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 10 months ago

          And he refused

          1. Rogue Todd
            10 years, 10 months ago

            Didn't really refuse - Klit had a contract clause

            1. internal error
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              10 years, 10 months ago

              IBF dont want him as champ. Maybe its because of what Fury said

              1. Rogue Todd
                10 years, 10 months ago

                Not at all - it's the IBF rules and Fury's team failed to strike a deal with Glazkov's team (e.g. to fight him later, financial compensation etc)

            2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              10 years, 10 months ago

              He signed for the rematch before checking he could.

              Back to pretending to tarmac drives

    3. Dukes of Hazard
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I don't really understand boxing when it comes to this kind of thing but surely it seems odd that a man who won a title less that a month ago is stripped of it? It also seems odd that fighters can refuse fights..

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Politics. Could even be that IBF want their belt to stand out and have a single champ owning their belt rather than Fury owning all belts and diluting their organisation with the others

      good. dude made a stupid comment and then proceeded to shove his own foot in his mouth until he could lick his kneecap.

      10 years, 10 months ago

      Shame it's not all of them, read about some of the things he's said to the media after the win and he sounds like a horrible ignorant person.

      Disappointed he's up for a SPOTY award.

  20. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    10 years, 10 months ago

    So if the FPL gods continue their tirade of wrath against me and Coutinho and Aguero don't feature this week, are:

    A) Dawson (liv), Janmaat (tot) or Drinkwater (CHE) decent cover?
    B) Take a -4 to drop Aguero > Ighalo
    C) Take a -4 to drop Coutinho > Walcott

  21. Hakuna Juan Mata
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Stekelenburg

    Kosc, Delaney (palace CB) , Alderweireld

    Ozil, Mahrez, Ayew, De Bruyne

    Kane, Lukaku, Ighalo

    what would you guys do with a FT and 2.3 in the bank for this team?

  22. Bazzy
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Who would you captain:

    Ighalo
    Mahrez
    Vardy
    Ozil
    KDB
    Aguero (considering he plays)

    1. The Wise Owl

      I'm going with Ozil this weekend.

  23. Mickey Tyrion™
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Think it's possible LVG is just playing a little gamesmanship here? Casting doubt over his back line to entice teams into not just sitting back?

    Every league game I've seen this season, teams sit back against United and try to counter hoping for a 0-0 draw or 1-0 result on a counter. It's part of the reason they can't. Teams are parking the bus vs United.

    I've had a rough night, lost my club chess match and our unbeaten team lost against awful opposition. Massive rank hit inc. (it happens in chess as well as FPL too!)

    Anyone want to give me some advice with my team to take my mind off it?

    Myhill
    Kolarov Bellerin Moreno
    Mane Ozil Mahrez De Bruyne
    Lukaku Vardy Igahlo
    Subs: Sanchez*, Rojo*, Martin*

    2.3 iTB
    2FT

    Sanchez to either Eriksen or Alli seems a good bet, and who to switch Rojo for?

    1. Ayew Serious
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Casual chess players 🙄

      Sanchez to Alli
      Rojo to Aldi

      1. Az
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 10 months ago

        nothing casual about it 😉

        Those transfers seem decent. Lots of money tied up in defence though.... and who would I bench? 🙁

        1. The Wise Owl
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Bellerin, Arsenal have been leaking goals recently.

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

          Why would you be worrying about too much cash in defence. The suggested moves are putting sn extra 0.2 into defence & you would have over 8m in bank.
          Casual answer. 🙂

    2. The Wise Owl
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez to Bolasie? Rojo to Alderweireld.

        i played the sicilian defence, and the guy played a completely insane, all out attack response that I just failed to defend against.

          Always a problem when they go off book. Sicilian is a little bit open to that as well.

          Queens Indian all the way for me.

            Impressive, 158 ecf was my highest. Nowadays I avoid Sicilian because it is so easy for opponents with engine opening preps to take you out of book in very sharp positions where you will not be able to assess accurately below GM level.

    7.8, nailed on striker in a top 4 side with title hopes.

    Plays 90mins whenever he is fit, scored tonight.

    Plays: Bournemouth (A), Norwich (H), Stoke (A), Chelsea (H) and Swansea (H).

    Might even get him now for Kun for a hit. Sooo tempted...

      Good luck with that

      the suspense is killing me, who is it!?

    4. Big Sum
      10 years, 10 months ago

      who is he?

      1. Rupert The Horse

        Martial

        1. Big Sum
          10 years, 10 months ago

          striker in a top 4 side with title hopes?

    5. Man Chest Hair United

      No way not with so many better options

    6. Stimps
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Martial?

    7. A.T
      10 years, 10 months ago

      The hit will cancel out one of the two goals he'll score in those 5 games. One shot on target per game or whatever it is.

    I guess it's safe to say Darmian won't be playing this weekend. Who to replace him with?

    a) Moreno
    b) Alderweireld
    c) someone else, who?

    1. Schwarzer
      10 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Man Chest Hair United

    Any easy to spot weaknesses here? what needs changing?

    DDG, Myhill

    Kolarov, Bellerin, Bertrand, Francis, Nyom

    Mahrez, Deolefeu, KDB, Ozil, Wanyama

    Kane, Lukaku, Vardy

    £3.5 in the bank and 2 free transfers

    1. Mickey Tyrion™
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I'd like a more solid 4th midfielder in there. Can count on Mahrez, KDB, and Ozil. Deolefeu or Wanyama are a little dodgy as a 4th.
