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.

      could be pretty academic right now with 1.5 weeks till the next gw, the transfer window still open and many players playing 2 internationals in the meantime

    Morning all 😀

    Foster/Jakupovic

    Valencia/Stones/Evans/Friend/Amat

    Hazard/Mahrez/Lamela/Redmond/Capoue

    Ibra/Aguero/Rondon

    2 FT's. Nothing in the bank.

    Which move sounds the best?

    A) Mahrez and Aguero to Alexis and Lukaku
    B) Redmond and Aguero to Alexis and Benteke
    C) Anything else?

    Thanks 🙂

      A with Costa

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ozil over Sanchez too to keep Kun in sight

        1. S.Agueroooooo
          10 years, 2 months ago

          This part is essential

          Cheers LMB. 🙂

          I've the Kun move planned out. Can get him with 2 FT's with enough in the bank.

          Lamela + Lukaku -> Januzaj + Kun is what I'm looking at GW 6

  4. Adz87
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Took the plunge into signing up, wildcard active.

    Foster jak
    McAuley Valencia shaw friend Amat
    Hazard Sanchez sterling capoue Redmond
    Costa ibra negredo

    This is as of now, thinking shaw to baines when (if) shaw gets his price rise.
    Jak to Pickford, reassess if Sunderland get ruddy.
    Tad worried about how Sanchez will play now that Perez is there, could become Ozil.
    We happy with Costa and negredo? Could change to something like benteke, Defoe and boost Redmond.
    0itb.

    Quite simply I'm stuck however quite happy aguero has caused people to think more than normal, any comments/ideas would be appreciated

  5. dicky2014

    Who's getting Gerard Deulofeu when he joins Boro?

    1. Andy_Social
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Huh? Whoseddat?

  6. LewanGOALski
    10 years, 2 months ago

    My current team is:

    Courtois
    Baines – McAuley – Friend
    Hazard – Barkley – Tadic – Ramirez
    Aguero – Ibra – Gray

    Jakupovic – Capoue – Shaw - Amat

    1 FT
    Bank: 0.3

    What should I do:

    A. Aguero ➡ D.Costa/Lukaku for 1FT
    B. Tadic + Aguero ➡ Sanchez + D.Costa/Lukaku (-4)
    C. use WC

    (*) if A/B – which out of Costa/Lukaku?

  7. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
    10 years, 2 months ago

    WC Team
    Midfield of Firmino, Ozil, Sterling, Antonio, Hazard
    Defence : Holgate, Walker, Mcauley, Valencia, Amat.
    Striker: Benteke, Vardy, Defoe
    0 the bank

    Will get back Augero in Gw 6 for Vardy

  8. bigbudgie
    10 years, 2 months ago

    A lot of early transfers and hits flying around here considering it's internationals...personally hanging on as long as possible before deciding

  9. Loðbrók
    10 years, 2 months ago

    2FT
    0,9MIB

    Foster / Jaku
    Stones / Morgan / Friend / Kone / Amat
    Sanchez / Hazard / Barkley / Routlege / Højbjerg
    Aguero / Vardy / Long

    Aguero + Routledge + Højbjerg -> Diomande + Mane + Sterling ?

    (Then gw5 Friend -> Baines, then gw6 Long -> Defoe )

    Want to WC gw8, but then I have to go 2 rounds without Aguero. Is that to risky, given teh price rise?

  10. ameisin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    A) Ozil & Sterling
    B) Sanchez & Lamela
    ?

  11. dashdriver
    10 years, 2 months ago

    A) Sanchez + 5.5

    or

    B) Özil + Antonio

  13. shibaz10
    10 years, 2 months ago

    anyone knw exact time price rise?

    (if possible please tell how many hr from now to avoid timezone...)

    17hr 25min? comes out to 2:15am UK TIME?

  14. Twiggy SRFC
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I can buy any striker - already have Ibra, Who'll I get?

    1. George James
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku for fixtures

      Costa or Rooney for Form

  15. George James
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Can someone please confirm if I make 2 transfers now for -4 then decide to wildcard at some point during the international break will the -4 still come off my points or would the WC cancel it out?

    1. dashdriver
      10 years, 2 months ago

      WC will cancel it out

  16. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I am looking to Downgrade Musa, Who is the best pick? can't think of many.

    PS: Not interested in Negredo.

    1. HVT
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Defoe or that list I posted yesterday,
      Diomande
      Stuani
      Borini
      Barrow (punt)

      1. HVT
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I suppose you should include Gray too Moin.

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, I was interested in Gray till the ban thing came up. Defoe is another one on my radar...thanks HVT! 🙂
          Thinking of Zaza punt as well with some good fixtures...only thing is he is unproven

    2. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Teke or Defoe.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks TFF 🙂

    3. noquarternt
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Defoe

  17. HVT
    10 years, 2 months ago

    What's the predicted Boro defence when everyone is Fit?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      No one knows..Fabio/Friend/Chambers to fight for 1 spot?

    2. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Ayala and Friend are the only ones nailed HVT. Barragan/Nsue/Gibson might all be at threat will the Chambers signing.

      Mind helping me out in my conundrum above? 😉

    3. HVT
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks, is Ayala fit now-would he be better than Friend?

      1. BigManBakar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        He's 0.5m more. I don't think he's worth the extra personally, especially now because Boro's fixtures get a bit tougher.

        1. HVT
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks mate

  18. Moin

    Wilfried Bony ✔
    @wilfriedbony
    It’s a new day and I look forward to a new exciting challenge

    Is he heading somewhere?

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Stoke rumored to be interested.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        If that does happen, might bring him in for Musa

        1. HVT
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Is he match fit tho?

          1. Moin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            10 years, 2 months ago

            He was training, and will train with the squad for a full week. I don't think fitness is a issue with him

            1. HVT
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Ok, straight into my team I reckon with Lukaku/Ibra.

      2. rnrd
        10 years, 2 months ago

        If this happens, who will be City's n°9 for the next 3 games?
        Is Iheanacho healed?
        Can Nolito handle the role?

        1. bigbudgie
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Nolito/Sterling dosen't matter the front three will be rotating through those positions

          1. Andy_Social
            10 years, 2 months ago

            This altho Ihe will be a brilliant stand-in for Kun from a FPL perspective.

        2. BigManBakar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 2 months ago

          No one knows. Sterling or Kelechi probably.

    2. bigbudgie
      10 years, 2 months ago

      you would have thought so from that - West Ham or Stoke interested? Everton seem to be in the market for a striker too

      1. Andy_Social
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Everton would want a striker to complement Lukaku; Bony i s too similar. Stoke best fit, I'd say.

  19. CrouchDown
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Do ye think the Derby could be a mourinho shut out? Have shaw, stones, zlatan and Kun (albeit Kun will go)

    1. bigbudgie
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Yes I do think this, especially with Aguero spearhead missing Pep will probably go without a striker.
      I'll be playing Shaw and Valencia but benching Stones.

    2. Andy_Social
      10 years, 2 months ago

      With 5 Mancs in my squad I'm expecting a dire GW. No idea what the score will be but it'll be a poor game and my reds and blues will cancel each other out.

  20. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Question everyone has been asking in the past 24h...

    What to do with Aguero if you already own Zlatan ?

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Most seem to be going with either Lukaku or Benteke.

      1. French Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Citizen Kane to come back firing ?
        Is Dembele back ?

    2. Alan The Llama
      10 years, 2 months ago

      If everyone has been asking it, why are you asking it now?

      Everyone owns both of them, grow a pair.

      1. French Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        have been buried at work and haven't been on ffs since sunday...

        1. Alan The Llama
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Was everyone asking that question at work for the past 24hrs?

          1. French Gooner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            10 years, 2 months ago

            Since you have broken the top 10k in TEN seasons i strongly suggest you stop raging with the attitude Mr keyboard warrior 😉

    3. mojoindojo
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I went with lukaku

  21. Energetics
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Close to finalising my wildcard. Two questions.

    A. Firmino and 4.5 def
    B. Lamela and Baines

    Best 4.5 mid, other than Capoue
    1. Fletcher
    2. Hojberg
    3. Other?

    1. rnrd
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't bet on Lamela. So far he's been OK but his influence still is limited and his behaviour might play against him. I found him pretty selfish and annoyed.

      First series or so-so results for Spurs and he's on the bench imo

      1. Energetics
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Would you rather Antonio?

  22. HVT
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is Sanchez (c) and Ozil too much on a WC?
    One would give way to Kun in time?

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      If it allows you to get Kun back in with 2 FT's why not?

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      You are going for Sanchez (c) against Saints?

      Not worried that he as a World Cup Qualifier match in Chile on 7th and a match against Saints on 10th..so might not play full game or get rested...

      1. Andy_Social
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Hmm, good point. When does Ozil play?

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Tomorrow, that's it..

    3. Vincent Adultman
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I don't think it's too much if one will act as a placeholder. Gives you a couple more games to decide which one you'd rather have without losing any of their points

  23. Goldèn
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Pope or Robinson second choice at Burnley? Cheers

  24. Camp No No
    10 years, 2 months ago

    If Isco moves to Premier League (to Spurs by rumour), at what price would you be interested in him as a FPL asset?

    1. pompeyfan
      10 years, 2 months ago

      £8m or less

    2. The Tinkerman
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Below 8.0 and I'd get him in I think. Providing he is starting every game. They have a few AMs.

      1. Camp No No
        10 years, 2 months ago

        They do, but I'd imagine that if they buy a Real Madrid and Spain international one, they'd play him. May depend on whether it's coach's choice or not, of course. It can get really awkward when the club buys players that it rates high but the coach doesn't like, or that don't suit his tactics. But I see no reason why Isco wouldn't fit in Poche's plans.

    3. RustyBz
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think he'd be that interesting as a FPL asset

    4. Camp No No
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I'm surprised you're _that_ negative about him, but yeah, his scoring numbers from an over dominant and very attacking Real Madrid are not very promising. But then, he's very talented and attacking player, and I think there's a lot of potential in him, if played high enough, preferably behind the striker but even on the flank. Now he's been in a role of assisting the assister.

  25. The Tinkerman
    10 years, 2 months ago

    How's this looking (WC):

    Foster, Pickford
    Shaw, Baines, McAuley, Friend, Amat
    Hazard, Ozil, Lamela, Sterling Puncheon
    Ibra, Lukaku, Negredo

    Shaw will switch to Valencia if he Shaw rises first, so I can make the 0.1m profit. Can get Aguero back for 2FTs, Luk + Sterling > Kun + 4.5 mid.

    1. RustyBz
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Don't like your Kun plan. You'd be stuck with having to start Puncheon or 4 defenders

      1. The Tinkerman
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I'm fine with starting Puncheon. He can be replaced later if needs be. He will start every game in an attacking role and has Benteke to hit now. Tends to pitch in with goals of him own too.

        1. The Tinkerman
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I could easily downgrade Baines and upgrade Puncheon before the deadline. Don't think I will though.

  26. thepeen555
    10 years, 2 months ago

    bony tweeting about a new challenge ahead, wonder where he is going

    1. RustyBz
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Stoke

    2. red devil 7
      10 years, 2 months ago

      wham

  27. FISSH
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Looks like Wilshere is going to Palace or the Cherries!

    1. The Tinkerman
      10 years, 2 months ago

      5.9m, could be a decent pick if he can stay fit.

  28. Christina.
    10 years, 2 months ago

    The two B's defensive stats are shocking.

    Just saying.

    😉

    1. Pasqualinho
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Skewed a bit by their early fixtures, I'd say. But it shouldn't be vastly different from what you expected anyway.

  29. rnrd
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Looks like Ruddy to SUN is not happening.

    4,0 Group Hug

  30. Luxy
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Think Wenger will throw Perez straight in?
