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.

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

    Sturridge, darmain, lanzini.... whoever next!

      Arsenal player tomorrow.

      • 10 Years

      8pts hit is next?

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear

      Mike Smalling?

  2. Schwarzer

    10 years, 4 months ago

    Hey gents, what would you do? 4.3 ITB

    A) Play AoA chip (Gosling v a weakened United backline?)
    B) Firmino > Ramsey/Alli/Shaqiri
    C) Save

    DDG/(Hennessey?)
    Alderweireld Moreno Bellerin
    KDB Ozil Mahrez Firmino
    Kane Lukaku Vardy

    Gosling Wollscheid Simpson

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Save imo.

      Not worth the AoA with that def and I don't think the united def will be THAT open.

      1. Schwarzer
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers, yeah I think I'm overstating the Manu deficiencies. DDG should get some save points at least.

  3. Licious Lizard
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Pick one for the next 4 GW's:

    A: Mahrez
    B: Ramsey
    C: Alli
    D: Wijnaldum
    E: Bournemouth (stanis/king/Gosling)
    F: Other

    Current team
    Darmian, Bellerin, Moreno, Pieters, Cedric
    KDB, Coutinho, Ozil, Bolasie, ____________?
    Vardy, Lukaku, Ighalo

    Cheers

    1. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      E: Bournemouth (stanis

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks.

        JUST because of the United injuries or you think he will have a good run?

    2. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years

      Surman

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks. Although I can't see him outscoring the others.

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Neither can I but he's 100% nailed and can sit on the bench every week

          1. Licious Lizard
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Valid point. It all comes down to how aggressive you are I guess. If you are just looking for that 2p man, go for it. In your case I would just prefer a man, who can be played in the odd game or has a chance of real points in the event of a rotation.

            1. Schwarzer
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              I got Gosling for the same reasoning but not much difference between him and Stan.

              1. Licious Lizard
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                Agree that between those two it is a tough call.

  4. The Bandit

    Wakey

    Last night was a perfect example of why I'm only playing UFPL next season.

    I had Lukaku(c) in FPl and owned him but not capt in UFPL. 9 of the top 15 in UFPL had him as capt and only 3 didn't own him. Gutted when he scored even as FPL capt.

    Incompatible

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah it is a bit. I was the other way around..(c) in FPL and just playing in UFPL. It does leave the game a bit flat not knowing who you are cheering for or who to throw your shoe at.

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      How many pts did your actual (c) in UFPL get WR?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Ighalo 9, same as Lukaku

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          So they didn't beat you on (c) picks then, so not too bad. You must have been praying for the blank though, and you nearly got it.

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Duffalow was a massive diff, nobody else him him but he blew it

  5. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    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

    Im thinking about ditching Deolefeu

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Makes sense. Not scoring enough for a main mid.

      1. Gazpilicueta
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        who would you be looking at as a replacement?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Depends what you want the 3.5 for.

          1. Gazpilicueta
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            nothing, was half marked for Sergio but now i dont mind.

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Ship Wanyama out. Better options for a fifth mid - even at that price.

      1. Gazpilicueta
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        who?

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          The Bournemouth boys. Drinkwater if you believe Leicester can keep it going. Maybe even Anya despite of the fixtures.

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I honestly can't see anything that needs changing urgently man, its a nice team, at a push maybe transfer out Bertrand for Moreno or something.

      Any help would be great below, can never get replies these days lol.

    4. Jose's Magic Omelette
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Oi Gazpi where've you been?

      Please be sure to send me your squad and (c) this week. Important game coming up Vs. Scotland!

      Yeah I think Deulofeu to Walcott, Eriksen or Ramsey could be a good bet. Maybe wait to see how Walcott and Ramsey play tomorrow?

      1. Gazpilicueta
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        ive been wondered where your emails are?! this is my team at the moment, i might make 1 transfer

        1. Jose's Magic Omelette
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Did you not get an email this week?

          1. Jose's Magic Omelette
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            If you missed my email you can always just check out the FPL forum.

            1. Gazpilicueta
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              ok thanks.

  6. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    What happened to Aguero s text he was recovering well? That was last week wasnt it. Did he have a set back?

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Just shows why what a player tweets is as meaningful as what we glean from their reactions to the injury as it happens.

      Scans will always reveal something else and in the end the manager decides.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Aguero seems to think he is fine when he isn't.

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Lyin little troll. Still got him though 😉

    4. Jose's Magic Omelette
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Either that or Agüero clearly doesn't know as much about the human body as the people treating him who have done close to a decade of medical training.

    5. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      He was training though. Is he not now? Or was that just cod he wasn't starting tonight?

  7. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Moreno is mighty close to a rise tonight if that matters.

    1. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      He's in my Dead team if that wins Me any kudos

  8. Hakuna Juan Mata
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Is Kolarov still nailed on even though Clichy is fit?

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Yes IMO

    2. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Well obviously becoming less nailed on

    3. Demí
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Nope. Nailed on means you'd expect him to play all the games in December, which he definitely won't IMO

  9. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Bench boost or Triple captain for double GWK? Which one do you prefer?

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Use both in DGWs as there will likely be at least 2 IMO 🙂

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on your bench.

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I don't think I'll have strong bench at any point, maybe in that case I decide to play bench boost.

        In other more likely scenario idea is to play wildcard in gw before double gw, get many double gamweekers, and then play bench boost in double gamweek.

    3. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Both for different DGW's

      I suppose Bench boost is better if played correctly

  10. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Sameless repost, 0 replies, any input would awesome, 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/Silva/Barkley for free

    3. Hazard & Sturridge both out for -4?

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

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Sturridge is probably out.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        i know mate, he's gonna be got rid of, but whats teh best option out the three listed?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Just Sturridge out. Still a benching headache unless you don't like the replacements.

    2. Gazpilicueta
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I like your team alot, alderweld rocks, coleman is the boy, i wouldnt go hazard, but thats just me

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers man, think i may just get rid of Studge and Haz and take a hit for either ramsey and ighalo or silva and giroud

    3. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Play Alli most definitely ... he could go large against Newcastle.

      Ditch Sturridge, there's no point keeping him, even if sort of fit.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers TE, yeah i really wanna play aLLI, His benched points last week hurt a little, Sturridge is definitely gone.

  11. Jose's Magic Omelette
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    BBC Sport stupid funny stat from earlier.

    "Real Madrid scored more goals tonight (8) than Manchester United scored in the entire group stage (6)."

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      That's not a fair comparison. Man United were given the toughest group. It was a conspiracy by UEFA against United

      1. Jose's Magic Omelette
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        It's not a useful stat, as I said stupid and funny though.

      2. che
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        City fans shouldn't be booing the UEFA theme tune then eh? Should be applauding it

    2. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Also:

      Real Madrid now lead Malmo 62-0. #Ronaldo has scored 47 of them.

      1. Jose's Magic Omelette
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Saw that, ridiculous!

  12. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Man yoo are a joke donkey team

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Facepalm

  13. Man Chest Hair United
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Does Sturridge being out increase or lesson the appeal of Firmino? Looking to ship him this week but maybe i should keep?

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Increase, could easily be false 9

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Like Gomis you mean?

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          No, he's a different breed

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Patience could pay off. Only has 1 less point than KDB in the last 5 games

    3. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Awesome name, awesome grav!!

  14. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Kdb has only scored 9 points more than sterling so far this season.thought it would have been more.
    Thinking A. hazard to kdb or
    B. Mane to sterling
    both for free.which is better.

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling is a good dead/draft team player. Not as good as Memphis though

    2. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      In 4 less weeks...

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Good point.

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        100 mins so not much more than 1 game less tbf

        1. Jose's Magic Omelette
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Would argue that that points to him being less of a rotation risk but Silva has been out in that time so we just don't know.

    3. Dukes of Hazard
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Worth remembering he has been available for 5 games less, although that only reads in 100 (10%) minutes less game time.

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Sterling has only missed one game outright so a bit of a point against him that he's seemingly not always nailed for 60 min?

        1. Dukes of Hazard
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          For sure, I think KDB while prove the better option over the course of the season. Hate the fact my 7.0 million mid in Tadic doesn't play 90 minute, definitely don't want that from an 8.9 mid.

    4. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Well also played 100 more minutes though that's not a great deal but does translate to some points just via playing time that KDB couldn't have gotten having joined 4 gameweeks in.

      .061 points per minute vs .077

    5. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah he got that hat trick didn't he

  15. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Just checked some man city player ratings for the game tonight. KDB scored the lowest with 4/10. Uh oh

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Saving for Swansea

  16. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I dodged Ighalo so far, should i bring him in for his last "easy" game? or leave it now, i left it too late?

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      It depends on your team and if you have any other pressing matters imo. With those stats, I am not even sure he won't keep on even in tougher fixtures.

      1. Gazpilicueta
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        DDG, Myhill

        Kolarov, Bellerin, Bertrand, Francis, Nyom

        Mahrez, Deolefeu, KDB, Ozil, Wanyama

        Kane, Lukaku, Vardy

        1. Jose's Magic Omelette
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I think upgrading Deulofeu is a more pressing concern, otherwise I'd say Ighalo is worth a punt for this week (especially considering our FIFFSA tie).

          1. Gazpilicueta
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            deo to ramsey im thinking. he loves that position

            1. Jose's Magic Omelette
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              I favour Walcott but think they're equally valid choices, the good thing about the Ramsey transfer is you get the benefit of tomorrow's game to help you decide.

        2. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          He certainly looked more dangerous than both Vardy and Kane - and has the stats to back it. But not sure if I would sell either of those for Ighalo. Though I actually believe that Ighalo can match or even outscore Kane this gw.

  17. Squires FC
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Uniteds defensive prospects have taken a hit over the last few days. Schneiderlin, darmain & possibly smalling out is bad news. Ramsey & bellerin to get injured tomoro no doubt

  18. Jimmeh
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Current team:

    Begovic/Butland
    Bellerin/Alder/Moreno/Sagna
    Coutinho; Ozil; Barkley; Mahrez; Westwood
    Aguero;Vardy;Lukaku

    1 FT. 4.1m in the bank.

    Currently looking at Coutinho + Aguero to KDB + Kane, although not set on either - particularly KDB. The likes of Silva, Eriksen etc. giving food for thought.

    Any comments welcome. Also bit worried about no Man Utd cover.

      Most people seem to think the United def isn't going to hold up with all the injuries. Not so sure about that myself, as it has been so solid because of their system more than the quality of players imo.

      Wait for Coutinho news? And personally I don't see Barkley continuing the returns.

    Ramsey, worth a shot? im thinking deolefeu to ramsey, whilst he has his best position

    Did ManCity play a 433 with Silva or Sterling as striker?

    1. Gazpilicueta
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      sterling yes

    Will Mahrez rise tonight? Cedric fall?

    Cheers

      Nop on both counts.

      I'd say no both for both.

    So who watched the game? I see Silva got on the scoresheet but curious to know about his overall performance

    1. Theatre_Of_Screams
      • 11 Years

      David Silva: Was busy throughout the match and fired his side into the lead with an impressive finish from a tight angle. The quality was not always there from the Spaniard, but he perservered and helped drive his side to the three points. (7/10)

    just looked at my transfer history..

    great moves

    gw3 Sinclair to mahrez

    gw10 mariappa to alderweireld

    gw12 martial to lukaku

    can only see one not so great

    gw8 butland to hennessy

    interesting to wonder what was I thinking at the time...

    1. Dukes of Hazard
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Saving yourself 0.5, tbf stoke looked poor defensively at the time.

  24. GuillermoDickero
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Best Firmino replacement?

    A) Arny
    B) Bolasie
    C) Ramsey

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      Don't sell yet

      1. GuillermoDickero
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        He's looked very poor the last 2 games and he's not even nailed on - seems logical enough for me to transfer him out

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          See BF reply below

      Main cog of attack, playing at home, against a team who have recently become shaky.

      Keep for now.

      1. GuillermoDickero
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Could have easily used that argument for Newcastle.

        1. Shaky Defence
        2. Liverpool just hammered Southampton away from home

    3. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Could be playing up front

      1. GuillermoDickero
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Why so?

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Sturridge is injured

            • 11 Years

            What about Benteke?

      Rams

    @Az just seen your comment on the previous page unlucky losing your chess match tonight as for your team I would probably look to get Cech mate.

      Beautiful

        King also an option 😉

  26. Dr Kenneth Noisewater

    Coutinho/ Aguero likely to double drop this week?

  27. Theatre_Of_Screams
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    De Gea --- (McCarthy)

    Bellerin --- Cresswell --- Moreno --- (VVD, Oxford)

    KDB --- Ozil --- Mahrez --- Ayew --- (Lingard)

    Kane (C) --- Lukaku (vc) --- Vardy

    1 FT 5.1m ITB

    Any suggestions please?

    Ayew out for Barkley/Silva/Coutinho

    1. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      If you want to have a gamble, I'd suggest Ayew > Mata.

      Exempt from LvG rotation, playing in favoured role with Rooney out and fixtures are turning nice.

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Ayew->Cout if fit unless you think you want the cash for other upgrades.

  28. JonnyOnionRings

    Thinking of transferring out Hazard. Ramsey looks a great option, and at 8.0 could be a great bargain

    1. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I got in Ozil a couple of weeks back but am tempted with either Ramsey or a possible Walcott resurgence.

      1. JonnyOnionRings
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Ya I have Ozil as well. I had Sanchez also, so I'm not really afraid to double up. Especially watching chelsea, they can't get anything going.

  29. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    A) Janmaat
    B) Francis
    C) Richards

    to Toby Alderweireld

    ?

    Lol, Sturridge out again!? This is ridiculous..

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      *predictable

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Liverpool really should just offload him. Not sure who would ever buy him though..

        This.
