In the first of a number of members articles over the international break, we delve into the data from the Gameweek gone by. Palace’s approach with Christian Benteke arrives under the radar, whilst we also take a look at Paul Pogba’s first away outing for United, Chelsea’s in-form attacking duo and the performance of City’s playmaker in the weekend win over West Ham.

Thoughts on wildcard team:
Foster Jaku
Shaw McAuley Baines Evans Amat
Sterling Hazard Ozil Bolasie Capoue
Ibra Negredo Lukaku
Got 1.4 ITB, so when Kun back will sell Ibra to get him back.
I won't have both of them in my team simultaneously this season, as i prefer a balanced squad.
Thoughts?-
It's excellent. Some will object to your double Baggie defence coverage but I say they've got the form and the fixtures, so go for it.
However, keep an eye on Sakho going to WBA on loan today.-
Thanks for your comments Andy, the Evans pick just for now.
I plan on starting Shaw McAuley and Baines. Evans will be bench.
Any other 4.5 options available in your opinion?-
At the moment Byram seems a decent punt.
-
-
He's going to Sunderland
-
Sakho? Hope so!
-
Who you talking bout Brock?
-
Sakho. The Liverpool Echo said he doesn't want WBA. Talk he's due for medical today at Sunderland
-
-
-
-
You gotta have a flexible solution to Kun. Ibrahimovic has matched him point for point what if he scores well in his absence?
-
Hi Mikes
Then i will definitely keep Ibra in that case, unitl Aguero maybe hit serious straps again. Would then potentially monitor Ozil's returns, because then i could use the 1.4 ITB to upgrade him to Sanchez.
-
-
-
Schmeichel* - Jaku
Stones* - Friend* - Evans - Shaw - Amat
Firmino - Hazard - Townsend - Redmond - Fletcher
Kun* - Ibra - Gray
Just wait and see after the int.break to do something? 1FT and 4 players out + maybe Gray....-
same problem
-
-
Comments most appreciated!
1) WC for Kaku, Tekkers, Ozil, Sterling, Williams, Souare, McAuley; or
2) -4 for just Kaku and Tekkers
Current Team:
Foster-Heaton
Valencia-Morgan-Stones-Friend-Amat
Haz-Firm-Lamela-Redmond-Cap
Kun-Ibra-Gray-
Very little wrong with your squad. Def shift out Kun and Gray. That just leaves a question mark over Friend's return, but you've got plenty defensive cover for that. So no need for a WC.
-
Only Kun > Lukaku?
-
-
What should I do if Gray is banned? Just bench him or wildcard?
Took a -4 to do Aguero + Redmond to Lukaku + Ozil
0ft, 0.5 in the bank
Foster, Jaku
Valencia, Stones, Evans, Friend, Amat
Hazard, Ozil, Mahrez, Lamela, Capoue
Ibra, Lukaku, Gray-
Depends on ban length. If short I would bench. If longer the price drops might force your hand.
-
As I just wrote to a poster above, your squad is very decent. You've got plenty cover for Gray, as a 442 or 352. Just leave him for now.
-
-
anyone thought about rotating diomande and capoue?
-
They're both good bench material - will start and may fluke you points off the bench. Rotating one in if your other starting X are strong - sure.
-
Plenty on here.
-
2 pts one week, 2 pts the other.
-
-
Benteke out of contention now that I have Aguero cash to burn.
Lukaku and Kane in for Aguero and Gray this GW for me.
Who's joining me on the Kane Train? 😀
Ownerships -
Kane - 13.2 %
Lukaku - 6.2%
Differentials... 😉-
Lukaku's a MNF goldmine..
-
No guarantee that Kane or Lukaku will outscore Benteke just because they cost more
-
And vice versa to be fair.
-
Agreed.
But, better team,better manager better fitness has to account for something.
-
-
-
There's a reason why Kane is a differential at the moment
-
True but he won't soon be one with Dembele back and his fitness getting better.
-
-
Spurs look very sluggish... I won't be touching Kane till Dembele is back and until they look even half as on point as they did last season.
-
Yup, they're very much a wait-and-see proposition, followed by a leap on the bandwagon as soon as it starts rolling!
-
Dembele is back in another GW.
With a few games under their belt, Spurs should start to fire now.
-
-
IMO, wait till Dembele is back before getting Kane in
-
What about Sturridge? He's an under-performing high cost striker being played out of position as well!
-
Not getting starts. Out of consideration.
I'd love him to be an option though.
-
-
-
Jeff Hendrick could be a nice differential at Burnley..
-
Not many price changes then - guess a lot of people activated wildcards.
-
It is nice cause we are not force to make hasty decisions that we could later regret.
-
Indeed. Pretty helpful.
-
-
No price changes at all last night, guessing there was a glitch in the FPL system.
-
Don't remember exactly what other sites were predicting, but there was a lot of borderline stuff and others where % fell a bit due to (I'd assume) wc'ing.
-
FPL Statistics (prob the most accurate price site so far this season) had two just rising (at 100.1% of target) and five just falling (all less than 101% of target) - it's possible it was just an inactive night. I'm thinking there will be only dribs and drabs of changes this break until the Internationals are out of ther way,
-
-
Or waiting for the transfer window to close and players to return from internationals. There'll be a mad rush on the 9th.
-
-
Aguero and Tadic out
Sanchez and Benteke/Lukaku in
It's pretty simple isn't it?-
Not convinced by benteke or lukaku moves yet to be honest.
-
-
Tadic + Aguero ➡ Sanchez & D.Costa (-4) looks like a no brainer, doesn't it?
Although, no plan how I will get Kun back for GW6. But I think I'll figure it out later somehow...-
I was looking at this move. Hazard and Costa too much?
-
I think make the transfers now and get Kun back in on a wildcard is my plan - will have a clearer idea of bandwagons/form by then as well
-
-
How would you bring Kun back into this lot?
Foster - Jaku
Williams - mcauley - valencia - friend - Amat
Hazard - Ozil - sterling - Lamela - capoue
Lukaku - ibra - Benteke
Thanks! -
Alexis over Ozil means I need to WC Kun back or take a -4.
GW 6 WC might not be so bad after all looking at them fixtures...-
Exactly.
Pool,West Ham,Stoke(Berahino?) etc.... -
Hi there.
How's the new FPL season treating you? -
GWs 6 or 8 are the ones I'm looking at
-
-
Zazaaaa in you come.
Off on holiday later today, so just would like some quick thoughts on this WC set up:
Heaton Pickford
Valencia Baines Kone MID Amar
Hazard Ozil Lallana/Redmond Snodgrass Capoue
Kun-filler Ibra Zaza-
*Amat
-
I would wait on Zaza as he might need time to accustom to pl. Also he does not have the stats two warrant that excitment, I would look for someone else
-
Thanks. It's him or Benteke but I fancy West Ham's fixtures more
-
With the added bonus of Benteke surely on pens now, that swings it for me
how much is zaza?-
7.0
-
-
-
-
-
So Lamela escapes FA attention and any prospective ban,... one less thing to worry about 🙂 .
-
It would have been to painful to have them both banned.
-
Yes.. I don;t have Gray in my team.. So only Aguero to take care of now ..
-
was Gray banned?
-
He would be mostly as he has been charged by FA already and had time till yesterday or today to respond ..
-
Thanks for that, really dont want to use WC until halloween time but might have to
-
-
-
-
-
-
David Luiz.
Really?! -
Took a -4 to get here and went Ozil and Lukaku instead of Sanchez and Gray. At least I still have my WC. Reassure me that it's all good...
Foster
Terry - Valencia - Stones
Hazard - Ozil - Tadic - Barkley
Tekkers - Lukaku - Ibra
Subs: Jaku - Friend - Capoue - Amat-
Looks good
-
Looks good assuming Kun get's the ban.
-
-
I visited them Palace forums and had a hard look at stats.
Nothing between Evertons stats and Palace stats.
Nothing drastic between Lukaku and Benteke stats.
But Palace are singlehandedly playing to Tekkers strenghts.-
Remy signing throws a spanner in the works.
Don't know how they'll line up. Remy will surely take some of Benteke's points away.
Moreover, Koeman is a far better manager than Pardew. Should get the best out of Lukaku. Everton will definitely create more chances for Lukaku.-
Right on the button.
-
And Lukaku will create Lukaku more chances for the rest of his team - works both ways 😉
-
-
I'm in a similar situation LR where I can afford to get either but I'm leaning towards Lukaku. His fixtures and better than Benteke's for a start. His stats are slightly better too.
-
are*
-
-
I'll probably have both.
-
love this
-
-
Oh and, where's the Rough with the Smooth hot topic?
Anyone else do Vardy & Sanchez to Ibra and Barkley last week? :'(-
Did only Vardy to Ibra (had the funds from the start)
Had I done Sanchez to Barkley on top of Vardy to Ibra I'd develop suicidal tendencies. 🙂-
Swansea at home and Watford and u made them transfers. hehe
-
Form over fixtures 😉
-
-
-
Exact same transfers 🙁
-
-
Reluctant to use my WC at the moment but feel like it might have no choice!
Foster heaton
Shaw stones McCauley amat holgate
Hazard mahrez capoue deulofeu Redmond
Zlatan aguero gray
Thoughts??-
Well, Holgate will most likely be benched for coleman who is expected back after the break, and I would also consider getting rid of deulofeu, as for stones, well, city should be able to keep a clean sheet at some point, no? a WC sounds like a good option here
-
-
I've been Wildcarded!
Here we go
Foster-Heaton
Nsue-Amat-Collins-McAuley-Jagielka
Hazard-Lamela-Capoue-Sterling-Sanchez
Ibra-Giroud-Negredo
0.3M ITB-
Sounds like it was forced upon you? Were you violated?
-
Drunken transfer bonanza..
-
-
Giroud not safe now
-
YEah, but i have this weird feeling that he'll suddenly be his old self again. But considering lukaku instead. Good fixtures there
-
-
-
Aguero and Lamela to Sanchez and Lukaku is worth a -4 right??
-
I think so
-
you never know with a 4 point hit, and it would depend also what bench cover you had for Aguero. Always a gamble.
I'd do it though. I've also made a 4 point hit to remove Aguero -
I was going to do exactly this but then I thought about it..
aguero will be back in two weeks so you'd have top keep both transfers between now and then and swap sanchez back out.
Or wildcard back in but is this a waste if not necessary. Think im going to just remove aguero and not waste too many points here.
-
-
Wildcard on
Stuck with this options:
A) Barkley + rotation of Capoue and Fer
Or
B) Mirallas + 6.0-6.5 price (Chadli or Redmond or Bojan, etc..)-
def A
-
A for me
-
-
Thoughts on this wildcard team? Thanks!
Heaton Jaku/Pick
Valencia Morgan Masuaku (Evans, Amat)
Hazard Sanchez Barkley Sterling (Capoue)
Zlatan Benteke Defoe
thanks-
Looking solid because it's balanced but what's the plan getting Aguero back to the team? Don't you want Lukaku who has good fixtures? Would probably be better if you go Morgan to Williams based on fiztures.
-
I plan to save a transfer so it's easier to bring kun back in (as you can then make 3 for just a minus 4 hit)
May have ozil instead of alexis and money in the bank to make it easier. Not sure...
-
-
Looks good. Prefer Williams over Morgan. Benteke still a question mark in my book.
-
Who's Masuaku and his price?
-
Hammers wing/full back at 5.0m. Was exposed by Sterling on Sunday but otherwise played very well and looks to have nailed his place.
-
Ok interesting thanks
-
-
-
Nice, I would suggest a defender from Everton: Williams/Baines.
-
Looks brilliant to my eye!
-
-
Thoughts on my Wildcard team ?
Pickford Foster
Shaw Baines McAuley (4.5) Kingsely
Lamela Sterling Ozil Hazard Capoue
Lukaku Ibra Benteke
Best 4.5 ?
Thanks !-
Pickford and Kingsley could both be dead wood by next GW.
-
Other options at that price or not really ?
-
-
-
A) Aguero + Redmond > Ozil + Lukaku (-4)
B) Aguero + Lamela > Sanchez + Lukaku (-4)
C) Aguero + Redmond > Tekkers + Sanchez (-4)
D) Play WC-
A
-
Given that the rest of your team looks alright, I'd say A.
-
A
-
-
So Sunderland negotiating with Norwich for Ruddy. That is the end of Pickford 🙁
-
Damn! Ah well my team needs a bit of holy
-
Noooooo
-
-
looks like Ville Ronka has played his WC....
https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/30327/event/1 -
I hope that Nasri stays at City. If he sorts himself out he still has the potential to be one of the best midfielders in the PL
-
He will be a bench option at best.
-
If he sorts himself and plays better than he has for years.
-
-
Those on a WC,
What's the ideal front 3 right now?
(Ibra/Lukaku/?)-
Ibra Lukaku Benteke
-
Ibra +2
For me atm, Costa and Zaza/Benteke -
Depends how heavy you want to load the MF. Planning a cheaper 3rd ST plus Ibra Kaku with MF of Özil Haz Sterling Lamela
-
-
Shaw + Valencia > Shaw/Valencia + De Gea
surely yes?
