Our first members article of the week takes a delve into the Gameweek 25 data this evening. We assess the improvement from Chelsea and Man United’s lone strikers, analyse the Swansea midfield battle for our attentions and look for reasons behind the downturn in output from West Ham and Watford’s talismen.

      wow, this is all so depressing.

    Billie looks like a younger version of Pelle G.

    Is Ward still a good fantasy pick?

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Decent budget option, but would switch to Dann if you've got the funds.

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks

        1. Gooner97
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          I could get any defender up to 4.7m anyway

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      No, not imo.

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Who'd you get for 4.7m max Doos?
        My actual defence is: Bellerin, Moreno, Cresswell, Simpson, Williams

        I think Moreno has to go

          • 12 Years

          Wollscheid, with GW30 in mind.

          1. bitm2007

            • 12 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            you've already got Palace covered with Hennessey.

        2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Wollscheid? Or have you got Butland? Or a Watford defender?

          1. Gooner97
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            I have Forster Hennessey.

            I was thinking to get Borthwick-Jackson, I think he'll keep playing, he's very good

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              OK. Not for me. 🙂

    Anyone tempted to go triple Spurs and Leicester from GW27?

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'm already there, it's a no brainer

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        This.

        Have triple Spurs already and have two Leicesters

    2. Cradders
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I already am haha but Rose needs going and Schmeichel won't be my consistent goalkeeper

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Leicester yes, but Spurs would be a triple blank in GW30, unless Palace beat then in the cup.

      1. BROOKLYN GOONER
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Exactly, plus the possibility of injuries from the two Europa games in between gw26 and 27. You really need to hold onto that FT this week.

        1. Pooodle
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Ah I see - thinking that triple of both would be great for GW27 though. I'm currently on Simpson and Mahrez from Leicester and Toby and Kane from Spurs, so will get Vardy and Alli in GW27

  7. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Who to bench?

    Butland
    Cresswell Toby Bellerin Williams
    Mahrez Alli Payet Barkley Arnautovic
    Lukaku Kun Kane

    subs: Schmeicel ---- ----- Saylor

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Williams and Arnie

  8. Viprin
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Afobe (C) anyone?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Well, I've got him ... 😀

      1. Viprin
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Then join me Doos,the way Stoke are defending,a possible hatty maybe 😛

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          No, that's nonsense, I'm afraid.

          1. Viprin
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Who's your current (C)?

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              Haven't got one, yet.

              1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                10 years, 5 months ago

                Probably Payet.

                1. Daniel Exeter
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  10 years, 5 months ago

                  Really?

                  Seemed a bit leggy last night

                  1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 16 Years
                    10 years, 5 months ago

                    Yes, really. I don't agree. 🙂

                    1. Viprin
                      • 10 Years
                      10 years, 5 months ago

                      Suit yourself,still sticking with Afobe though I might change it last minute like always

          2. AK â­
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            3 consecutive 3-0s though Doosra.

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              Indeed. But they have been a bit unlucky.

  9. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    bench Alli or Ighalo?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Alli if you have Kane

    2. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Ighalo. I think Alli could be in for a big score, his away record is great.

    3. LC1
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Alli probably

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Iggy

    This may be the first week in my FPL history I have no Idea what to do.

    1. saihtam

    2. Cradders
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I don't know if its a good thing that I bought in VVD before seeing anything on here. All the bandwagons on here seem to fail haha

  11. Eden Hazardous

    @doos , will Carroll start this week?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Depends how quickly Valencia recovers. Also, Sakho now training with the lads.

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years

        Ta

        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I am worried that Antonio will lose his spot, but he is in so good form.

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          I'm not. Not after the Guv'ner's comments last night. 🙂

          1. saihtam
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years

            Link? Or what was the comment?

              1. Hooky
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 5 months ago

                Where did Antonio end up playing after the injuries to others?

                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 16 Years

                  Right DM.

                  1. Hooky
                    • 11 Years
                    10 years, 5 months ago

                    Interesting. Sounds like he did ok though!

          2. Crouch Potato!
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            He looks a more than decent payer, as does your back up keeper.

            1. Crouch Potato!
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              player

                Yup. Our team is building well.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Is Valencia injured, Doos? Got him in Fantrax

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

          Had two knocks last night. Waiting on reports.

          1. Nickofoz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Cheers. How's everything going health wise?

  12. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Cant make my mind up this week!

    My defence is Bellerin - Sagna- Walker - Moreno - Richards

    A, Play 2 defenders with my AOA chip with Stanislas as my 5th mid

    or

    B, Play 3 defenders and bench Stanislas

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'd play Bellerin, Moreno & Richards. I think Moreno is still worth playing this week if you haven't sold him yet.

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers for the reply buddy

  13. Ryan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Tempted to captain a defender this week

    Daniels(STK) - Stoke has blanked the last 4 games, defence has been terrible as well
    Cresswell(nor) - Right up there for crosses and Norwich has blanked 3 of the last 4 and defence is terrible

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Moreno(c) maybe? You will get 2 points instead of 1...

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Sold for Huth. Glad thats been dealt with

    2. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Seriously , yeah this is the week if ever you will want to captain a defender....worth a punt but I am not willing

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        I just don't fancy any of the contenders in my team, Aguero, Kane, Lukaku

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Just notices Carroll could be back for West Ham too. Bodes well for Cresswells crossing stats

      1. saihtam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Ivanovic is also someone it think about captaining.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Would need to buy him in so probably not an option for me.

    4. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Norwich usually score at home.

      I'd only consider the armband on Ivanovic or Azpi this weekend. Still think there's better options in midfield and up front anyway 🙂

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers for the insight. I'll reconsider

  14. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    So whats the go with GW30 ??

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2016/02/05/blank-and-double-gameweek-planning/

      Not sure what the Liverpool result does to the likelihood of their GW30 blank prospects.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Liverpool will still blank if City don't beat Chelsea in the cup.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Ok. And West Ham will have a blank along with Watford?

          1. bitm2007
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            Providing they don't both get knocked out in round 5.

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 5 months ago

              I see, so the game they just played was a reply for round 4?

              1. bitm2007
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 5 months ago

                Yes

                A rearranged Merseyside derby is also a possibility in GW30, if Bournemouth knockout Everton in round 5.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      If you've got 2FT's i'd bring in a Stoke, Southampton or Leicester player this week, with GW30 in mind. Then re-access GW30 after the R5 cup ties have been played.

    3. Kane Train
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks everyone. I currently have butland so i should keep him. Reid in doubt and taargett sitting on bench injured. Should I do Targett > Cedric or Azpilicueta

      1. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        If you have 2 FT go Soton defender, you will need him for GW 30, if you have only 1, just hold fire untill 21 february after FA Cup games.

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Agreed

        2. Belalugozi78
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          but don't sell Targett now, he may be back in short time. Although he is not nailed on I wouldn't sell him just yet.

  15. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Best replacement for Zouma?

    A Azpi - strong CS chance until GW30 versus NEW sot nor STO , then potentially a blank

    B VVD/Cedric - swa CHE bou SUN sto until GW 30

  16. Tvaara

      Transfer out Moreno, a keeper and defender from Liverpool won't get you anything worthwhile IMO, straight swap with Cedric??

      My suggestions, for what they are worth, are to bench Lingard and save your FT if you still retain it. You might think of the possibility of starting Targett ... he'll probably play or never emerge.

    So neutrals kind of want City to beat Chelsea right? So there's Liverpool and Chelsea options for GW30??

      Or if Chelsea beat City, the City vs Norwich game should be on is my understanding.

      I'm hoping for this

        Ahh I forgot to take that into consideration, at least we know we will definitely have 4 fixtures at least that day then? Correct??

        This hurts my head

      I think Chelsea will beat Man City. They have very little to play for except the FA Cup. Nevertheless I'd prefer Man City to win ...... nice juicy fixture congestion! (Foxes fan)

    Not that the pool forwards are, ahem, fit. Should I do firmino--Mshrez?

      *now, *mahrez

      1. Salah Fingers

        I'd keep firmino for the villa game and then get mahrez in the week after when liverpool blank

    Where is the article that the guys mention in the podcast that was written regarding GW30?

  26. Tasko

    Sorry for OT.

    But, are those two fixtures (Liverpool, Everton, City and Newcastle...) announced?

    Or are there some predictions in which GW will they be played?
    Or some other fixture changes, depending on FA cup.
    I dont have much time lately, so i cant read FFS so detail.

    Thanks!
