Our first members article of the week analyses a number of key statistics from the previous round of fixtures. We cast an eye over Tottenham, Newcastle and Man City’s midfield and strikers and also assess Watford’s out-of-sorts attack as the Hornets struggle for a cutting edge.

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

    Who would you start? Moreno or Bellerin?

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Moreno

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Bellerin

    Just reading Bonkers hot-topic. Watford 33/1 for relegation. Looks a decent back-to-lay bet

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Even at them odds I think you're being a bit mad

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Really? Not far from the relegation mix, an injury to Ighalo or Deeney and their struggling. Often a side that plummets after a good start to the season, Newcastle last year? Still have to play Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, West Ham and Crystal Palace away from home

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Last season Hull came 18th with 35 points, let's say the safety score for Watford is 38. That's 9 points in 16 games.

          Amrabat now gives them cover for a forward injury, they have a very strong defence which has been massive for them, they won't even be in the running imo

      2. Hibbo

        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        In terms of what Demi is saying its really not that mad.

        The likelihood of relegation for Watford is slim but if you take a view that they will struggle a bit more in the second half of the season those odds will shorten so you could lay for a free bet at relegation or 'cash out' to make a profit on the market whether they do or not due to simply playing the market.

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          I don't bet at all so this is not something I understand

          1. Hibbo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            It was a bit like backing strikers in the top scorer market when Aguero got injured.

            All the other strikers were going to score goal when he was out thus their prices would shorten.

            Then trade out for either a free bet or guaranteed profit whichever you fancy doing.

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      1 point in their last 5 games

      1. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        its quite a good bet imo

    3. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I think I might just stick a quick tenner on that 🙂

      Well, there's free money there right now.

      Back @33-1 on Coral.

    @Sess! Thanks for the answer on the last article, I might look to pick the pair up on the far side of the blank gameweek soon.

      😆

  5. Team Cruel

    Article of the year imo

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I feel like we get similar enjoyment

  6. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    That 108.1 stat will be a lot lower after this weekend.

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I reckon it'll go to 97.8

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        😉

  7. Japan Boy
    • 10 Years

    I'm surprised no-one is talking about Henderson more

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      What's the appeal?

      1. Japan Boy
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Guaranteed starter for a team who create a lot of chances, have good fixtures, set piece taker and cheap

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Great shout but not a top top pick ATM. Will get him in for pool DGW though I'm sure.

          1. Japan Boy
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            One goal and he'll be on everyone's radars that's for sure

    2. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      If GW25 is a DGW and Liverpool reach C1C Final then he could have DGW in 25. So I have HIM ON MY RADAR and I have saved transfer to accommodate this. Think he may be a good diff and his stats aint too bad.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        It's a big IF atm.

  8. BrockLanders
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Defoe or Ighalo? ?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Defoe

  9. Jazz!
    • 11 Years

    Mahrez > Silva being given a booster...

  10. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

    There are some VERY big numbers there.. Smaller type please 😉

      Not a member. Who's the big topic?

      1. L S P

        Rooney.

        All Rooney, All The Time.

      2. Every Dog Has Its Day
        • 11 Years

        Ryan Mason.

        How big the numbers are.

        1. mad_beer ✅
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Too big apparently.

      4. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Lee Cattermole. May even triple cap him

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          I dunno it's close. I might go for Chieck Tiote.

  12. The Raging Bull
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    It hurts to see Silva and KDB in the same side, the former would be a points machine if latter wasn't on the field.

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Silva will be a points machine now... Watch

      1. The Raging Bull
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        i'm not so sure, big fan of his, watching City play, KDB just wants to hit a hollywood pass or cross, which takes Silva out of the equation.

  13. The Curse of Falcao
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Reports tonight in Spain are claiming Tottenham have made a £23m bid for Atletico Madrid striker Jackson Martinez.

      1. The Curse of Falcao
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Tottenham want another striker to take pressure off Harry Kane but Marca says Atletico are unwilling to let Martinez leave for less than the £26.6m they paid for him in the summer.

        Will be interesting too see what happens with this one, if it happens gonna be manic on here IF it happens.

    1. BrockLanders
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      May as well buy Benteke off Liverpool or £20m..

      1. The Curse of Falcao
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        By Martinez's current form yeah lol

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Ben Yedder more likely.
      Though if I were in Ben Yedders shoes I'd look elsewhere.

      1. The Curse of Falcao
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Never seen him play, any good?

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Yeah I sure think so.

  14. scootadee
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    can someone fill me in when the DGW's may be.
    wondering whether to save transfers now or just use them if theres a DGW coming up and therefore would WC before it and BB during it.
    Thanks.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      You can only save one do its no big deal. When they are confirmed the site will be talking about nothing else. Chill 🙂

      1. The Bandit

        1. scootadee
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          yeah i know i just thought if there's one in 2 weeks there's no sense me saving a FT because i'd use the WC anyway. thanks

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            No probs, but as I said.. Little discussion = no news 😉

    Anyone know the FFS Cup qualifying score?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      68

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Members or the other one? I've got 68 in the other one, is that enough?

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Both.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Nothing official. I worked out 68 and a good OR for both will be close.

      1. Sepp Blattered
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Currently chilling on 62.. Hold up since when did the average get so high! (68 is higher than top 10k!)

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          Top 10K means little this week.

          1. Sepp Blattered
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            Ayy lets just drop the average to 62 as a gesture of good will 😉

              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 14 days ago

              Average has little to do with it.
              About 800 members and 1500 FFSer beat you.

        2. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Most on here are talking about Kun (C), Daniels and Williams all the time.

  16. BrockLanders
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Is the Ighalo/Mahrez/Vardy party over then??

    1. The Raging Bull
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Vardy will bring in steady stream of points.

      You get these sorts of predictions when the whole of FFS owns Agüero lol. (Except bowstring with a realistic one lol)

  20. SAY SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Would you prefer:

    KdB, Mahrez and Lukaku

    or

    Silva, Payet and Kane?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Latter by a mile

  21. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Looking at doing Ighalo Walcott and Evans to Kane (4.5 mid) 4.5 defender.

    But which cheapies to go for? Tempted by 4.2 Lindgard since I will never play him, same again for 3.7 Targett.

    1. The Curse of Falcao
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I'm thinking Targett as well but if he drops back to the bench that a slot in your squad gone

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      You'll likely need your squad players to play to navigate the upcoming blank gws that create doubles.

  22. BrockLanders
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Benteke & Rangel to Ighalo/Defoe & Baines for -4 sound OK??

  23. Rhys85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Got 2FTs and fancy using them:

    Myhill
    Dier / Bellerin / Moreno
    Alli / KDB / Mahrez / Ozil
    Kane / Aguero / Lukaku
    (Gomes / Gosling / Ward / Williams)

    KDB -> Silva & Mahrez -> Payet look good? I can afford to just do Mahrez -> Payet.

    Cheers

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      play williams and shift mahrez for payet
      and roll the FT to next week-you know it makes sense

      1. Rhys85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

            He is, but if Swansea concede, which is highly likely, he won't get any bonus.

    3. Demí
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I think he's been up there as one of the best performing keepers this season. Pantilimon was dropped for Mannone. Should be safe for now
