We delve into the Gameweek 16 data now in our first members’ article of the week. Amongst this evening’s topics are West Ham’s wide men, Bournemouth’s goal threat from midfield, Tottenham’s toils up top and Watford’s relentless top scorer.

        he put the armband on mahrez since gw 3 and stick with it until gw 16
        wow

    1. Scoredelario

      A kid in my minileague (literally, he is my friend's son) triple captained Mahrez this week and went second

      Captained Mahrez 3 times including this week.

    Current attack

    Ozil Kdb Mane Hazard Gosling
    Vardy Lukaku Ighalo
    6.1 ITB

    Time to finally admit i was wrong and swap Mahrez back in right? Got loads in the bank so can get him in for Gosling/Mane/Hazard and not have any worries. Thinking Hazard has to go though after Mourinho's sarcastic comment about him coming off. No Brainer?

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Yes Mahrez in. Yes Haz the best one to drop for many reasons IMO

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Probably gonna do it tnite.. Leaves me with a whopping 11.1 million in the bank 😎 😯

        1. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Nice! Gosling is a nice little pick even if he is cheap. Mane upgrade soon if he doesn't sort himself out. He needs to stop scooping and start shooting!

      2. Abel Xavier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Agree on both counts

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks both.. Mane got
      TOT whm nor WAT WBA coming up so i might as well keep him now. This week Hazard to Mahrez and next week Gosling to Sanchez looks like the plan for me. thanks

    Who would you bench?

    ozil kdb wijnaldum mahrez willian
    kane vardy lukaku

    1. Jayss
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Willian or Kane

    2. Abel Xavier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      willian

    3. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Willian

    4. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Willian

  4. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    After watching Mane's last 4-5 matches I am emailing opts demanding they update their stats to include scoops in the box.

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Opta

    2. TorresMagic™

      • 16 Years

      Ice cream?

  5. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone considering Fellaini punt? Can't be worse than Mane...

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Decent option. Picked him up in draft league recently

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Mane is bad but Fellani is worse!

    3. Jøssy ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Nooooooo!

  6. The_Kane_Train
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on bringing in Wijnaldum for a sneaky captaincy punt this GW only?

    1. Abel Xavier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      like it. seems a reasonable week to get punty

    2. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I have. Go for it!

  7. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Butland
    Monreal, Van Dijk, Dann
    Silva, Ozil, Ramsey, Mahrez
    Kane, Lukaku, Ighalo

    Schmeichel, Evans, Francis, Anya

    1FT, 5.5m

    Save or VVD out? More inclined to save due to lack of options.

    1. Abel Xavier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Save. That FT will be valuable next GW

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Probably save, play Evan over VvD

    3. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Save.

    4. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers all

  8. Joggers Nipple
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Any chance that Sanchez could play this weekend or is it just wait for press conference? Want Haz to Sanchez rather than Ramsey. Im odd.

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I really think this season has taught us to at least watch a player returning from injury before bringing him in

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks, this is so true and i need to learn this.

      Wait. 50/50 only because it's Sanchez

    Wijndalum cap punt anyone?

    1. The_Kane_Train
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I'm thinking Sanchez > Wijnaldum and then captaining...

      I also think there were stats floating around to suggest that without Walcott up front Sanchez's goal threat suffers substantially?

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Sounds right. Wij it is!

    2. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years

      C currently on him.

  10. Koflok
    • 13 Years

    Form over fixture.

    Kane - Ighalo?

    1. The_Kane_Train
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Ighalo. Everything goes through him.

      1. Koflok
        • 13 Years

        Woah coming from the man himself..

    1. Abel Xavier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      I'd go Cresswell. Baines must be a prime candidate for rotation in GW 18 or 19, just back from a long lay-off.

    3.2 itb, 1 FT

    Bellerin, kola, small, rose, targett
    KDB, Mahrez, Ayew, Ozil, Barry
    Kane, Lukaku, Vardinho

    So anyone sold on henderson like me? Thinking of doing Barry for Henderson and benching Ayew. Would like to have coverage over the next run of game. May get Simpson for Targett as well(next with FT), so I can have 5 starting players on defense. I know Ayew and Swansea are woeful, but I find it so hard to part with him. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

    1. Jayss
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe get a Stoke or Wba defender

    2. Abel Xavier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      there's never a good time to get rid of Ayew!
      Playing up front, 2 home games and some encouraging early signs from the change of manager.If there weren't so many other great options in that price bracket, he'd be a much more popular pick at 7.1. 5th highest scoring mid.
      I like Hendo but fear he will miss at least one of the xmas games.

  20. Captain Vantastic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Richards to Ward or Woolschcjjd? Got no defensive cover from either team.

    1. Jayss
      • 10 Years

      Wollschied

    Plan is to do Kane -> Aguero next week. But is there a good chance Aguero gets rested for Sunderland (H) and Kane (Norwich) is a better option?

    1. SonOfSteven
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      These sorts of speculations are only making you lose points and time over a season IMO. If Kane scores and plays well, surely you want to keep when NOR is up next? Aguero could score, and could play 59 mins. Or both. Would keep it safe, but use this GW as an indicator.

      If Kane blanks and Spurs plays badly and Aguero looks sharp, not much to wonder about is it?

    Butland (Ruddy)
    Cedric Azpi Kolarov (Nyom, Huth [!])
    Ozil, KDB, Lanzini, Mahrez (Wanyama)
    Kane, Vardy, Lukaku

    For this team,

    Lanzini to Ramsey or Coutinho?

    1. Jayss
      • 10 Years

      Ramey imo, has form

  24. UnitednationsXI

    Morning dzzzzz, seem to be stuck around the million mark (never thought I'd use these words after finishing in 1k last year 🙁

    lloris --- henessey
    janmaat souare cedric* --- moreno simpson
    ozil mahrez hazard mane --- yaya
    kane kaku vardy

    - have a few issues as gk/def all have crap fixtures apart from janmaaat. have 1FT and 0.4m

    A: cedric >> dawson • zouma
    B: hazard >> ramsey (MCI,sot) •coutinho (wat,LEI) •wijnaldum (AVL,EVE)
    C: cedric + hazard >> any mid and def I want (-4) (kolorav? )
    D: cedric + mane/yaya >> dawson + ramsey/wij (-4)

    Will only remove hazard if he is confirmed out. .no point taking a hit as I strong (all though off form) front 8

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      B to Ramsey...Ramsey's ownership is still quite low

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        or A to Dawson is also not bad

        1. UnitednationsXI
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Hence there's an option to do both for a hit :p

  25. AK ⭐
    • 13 Years

    So are Hazard owners finally cutting their losses? If yes, for whom?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I did Hazard to Mahrez...so now Mahrez will probably stop performing

      Probably Mahrez...what a horrible transfer.

        Both of you didn't have Mahrez? I am glad I kept him all along.

        What are your mids looking like?

          Yeah, I sillily ditched him on my WC.

          They're looking like an absolute mess!
          Hazard Sterling Walcott Ozil.

          Gosh...one of the first 2 will go this week. Potentially, both, however I don't think anyone other than Mahrez looks attractive enough for this week's fixture to warrant a hit.

    The 4 leakiest defences over the last 4 GWs based on their average ranking in the league for Shots in The Box Conceded and Big Chances Conceded. Essentially, the 4 worst defences in terms of, imo, the two best defensive indicators. If any of your players are up against a team that features on this table, might be a good idea to slap the (C) armband on 'em.

        I'd say Arsenal went alright against them, and Norwich were lucky not to have conceded 6 in the first half.

        As for West Ham against Stoke, I wasn't expecting much conceded but since they were ranked in the top 4 I wasn't going to knock 'em out of the table based on my personal opinion.

      Always enjoy this table. Taking fix into account though, you have to say Bournemouth defended pretty well. An improvement IMO

        Cheers mate.

        True, but as I said above, I'd rather not mix my personal opinions into this...trying to keep it purely to their average rank and that's controlled by the objective statistics not me. 🙂

        Stanislas turning out to be a very nice pick up for you in fantrax! Got Fellaini too!!

          Yeah both picked up based on stats so I can't argue with your approach 😀

    Louis van Gaal told Javier Hernandez he only had a "one per cent chance" of playing up front for Manchester United, the Mexican has revealed.

    Hernandez ended a five-year stay at Old Trafford in the summer by signing for Bayer Leverkusen on a three-year deal.

    The 27-year-old has been revitalised in Germany, scoring 19 goals already this season for club and country.

    In an interview with Movistar reported by Marca, Hernandez said: "I spoke with Van Gaal and he said that I only had a one per cent chance of playing in my position, so I headed to Bayer.

    "I felt confident from the very first day. I feel important, not just because of my goals, but because I feel that I'll start every game".

      Hernandez is a excellent player and natural goal poacher and I would have loved to see him @ Chelsea ..
