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.

    Kun giving us all a slight headache...

    Haz Firmino Lamela Redmond Capo
    Kun Ibra Gray
    0ITB 2FT

    I want Sanchez or Ozil, and gonna bench Gray If he's banned (play Capo or 4D). I'm thinking Kun > Lukaku, so 4M ITB 1FT. I got a WC, so it'll be easier to bring Kun back.Now what do you think it's the best option here:

    (I'll do these as late as I can, so probably miss the +0.1M jump)
    a) Lamela > Sanchez
    b) Firmino > Sanchez 1.4M ITB (possible play is Ibra > Kun GW6 for 1 FT, but than I'll be without Ibra, but still holding to the WC)
    c) Lamela > Ozil 1.4M ITB (same play as b) opens up)
    d) something else - what would you do?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Redmond > ozil

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      C for me

    so is pardew gonna play benteke and remy up front together or rotate??

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I think Benteke will be nailed. Remy limited minutes.

      1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Remy can play out wide also, right?

        1. Adriano
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Indeed, I remember him playing on the right for Marsielle.

  3. Stats Don\'t Lie

    9 years, 7 months ago

    The new TV deal really screws British clubs. They have to pay like double the prices for players.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      They can more than afford it though.

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, but zenit were rejecting €40m bids from everton. Now hes joining juve for €18m

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          That's a bit more than double then. 😀

    Nice article. Some new names to think about, too.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Like?

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I like the striker with X many shots in the box.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He is an absolute boss.

  5. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I have just enough to do Aguero>Costa, Lamela>Sanchez for a hit, but I'd have to do it before the price rise tonight. I could also do Aguero>Costa and Redmond to Ozil. Or I could just do Aguero to Costa. What do you guys think?

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I would just do Kun out for now.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        There's no rush.

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          So don't bother getting Sanchez?

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Oh, I'd go for Sanchez. But if you go for just the Kun out tranny there is no price change just yet,

            1. ★Kuntheman★
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Yup. Kinda feel like pushing for Sanchez but Lamela has been a good servant for my team 🙂

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I would get ozil

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        For Redmond, right?

        1. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah

    3. AnfieldLad
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      do both imo

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        K thx

    4. BbBb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Do it... Do it tonight!

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I kinda feel like doing it but Lamela has been a good servant for me 🙂

    5. Backup Dancer
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Kun to Costa now, then Ozil for Lamela next week is an option.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers mate

  6. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    What do we think of Tottenham?

    Asking for a friend, his name is Jack.

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He might not agree but I think they're decent 😉

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Brown steamy stuff

    3. faver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      good team without striker

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      That they'll be far too good for Stoke..

  7. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Any word on who is interested in wilshere loan?
    Take it loan deadline is same as signing one

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Watford, Palace, Bournemouth, Lisbon, Benfica

      1. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Jeez that's a big stamp down
        Thought maybe a Southampton or whu would show interest

  8. Licky
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Mané Özil Sánchez Redmond

    Costa Vardy Gray (max 7.0 replacement)

    Not bad.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Not good

      1. Licky
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Working without the WC though.

    2. Adriano
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I like that. It can pan out well tbh, it's only been 3 weeks

  9. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I hate shaving.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Shaving what?

      1. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        🙂

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Grow a beard.

    3. Hinchcliffe Thumper
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Face? Grow a beard. Balls? That's nasty sh*t.

    4. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      < agrees

  10. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Would you WC now with this squad? Tadic and Kun the main exits if taking a hit.

    Valdes
    Kone Stones Shaw
    Townsend Haz Lamela Tadic
    Ibra Negredo Kun

    Foster, Friend, Watson Souare....

  11. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Has to be Kun > Costa surely.

    Kane isnt firing yet
    Lukaku isnt firing yet
    Vardy is a possibility
    Benteke isnt firing yet

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Either that or Lukaku. Iheanacho for the bold.

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah Iheanacho for a punt. I brought in Sterling already so going with Costa then potentially WC GW6

    2. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Kane for me all day and night.

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He hasn't returned any attacking points yet right?

        His fixtures are favourable though.

        1. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          20+ goals 2 seasons running. He has to start somewhere.

          1. Dirty Harry
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            I think I'll wait till he looks like he is actually going to start firing to be honest.

    3. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      This

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Why not Giroud? He and Benteke are proven veteran goal scorers who should be able to produce the goods with minutes starting in GW4

  12. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Kane looks a prime Kun replacement.. Well I got him in anyway so all about enjoying the show now..Stats, what Stats? Gut all the way..

    1. Adriano
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He started slow last year too, maybe this is his "thing"

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        yep thats my thinking.. 2 nice fixtures and best holding price for kun return.

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    would you -8 or would you rather wc?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yep, use the wc. Make sure you use tissue and wash your hands.

    2. MDK
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I think I'd -8

    3. More Tragic
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      -8

    4. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah -8 at this stage is fine.. Save WC.. I used mine already like I always do so just doing a nice -4.

    5. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Could probably fix the problems with a -8 and I believe that the WC is worth a lot more than that. In saying that I think I'll WC and reshuffle the whole squad. Take a hit to get Kun back.

    6. BbBb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Wc, Chase the rises too but don't press the wc button until just before deadline then your transfers count towards the moves

    7. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      -8 would be the max hit I'd take before a WC especially this game week.

      Im holding on and doing a -4 to save my WC

    8. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      -8

    9. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Wc. And save the Fts to bring Kun back and have the squad u want

    10. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'll do a -8 if I spread the Aguero money around, but it mean turn into a -12 if I have to take a hit to get him back in.

  14. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Money no issue, Lamela or Redmond?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Money is and Redmond is the best 4th mid for now. You can then drop Lamela for someone better

      • Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Lamela

      • Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Lamela - no contest

        2. ZaKNaFeiN
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Is it me or is no one considering Vardy as Kun replacement? Guy just scored so confidence should be up, and should get back penalty duties now.

          1. For Fuchs Sake
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            not great fixtures though

            1. ZaKNaFeiN
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Dodgy pool defence and home to Burnley, then ship back for Kun

          2. Champ
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            I have him and am keeping for now. Will be moving him on shortly following Sturridges first hatty 😉

        3. Magic Bean
          • 10 Years

          Anybody sticking by Townsend? Decent fixtures coming so on the fence about offloading.

          1. Champ
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years

            Debating getting rid. Dropping tonight. Thinking of downgrading to Puncheon and using the cash to do Mahrez to Sanchez.

        4. JJO
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          A) Valencia + Terry

            But not sure its clear like that
            Much much better fixtures for combonation B in next 5/6 gws

        5. KingOllie
          • 10 Years

          Which front 3 do u prefer? Or any other combo:

          A) Lukaku , Costa , Giroud
          B) Lukaku , Ibra , Benteke
          C) Costa , Ibra , benteke

                The first option

              Should I WC. If no, any suggestions for the 1FT? 0.4 in the bank.

              Foster
              Valencia - Stones - Friend
              Hazard - Barkley - Lamela - Redmond
              Aguero - Ibrahimovic - Gray

              Heaton - Capoue - Van Dijk - Amat

              1. Dirty Harry
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                If Gray and Lamela are to get charged then yes.

                If not. No.

                Aguero > Costa and bench Stones/Friend if ruled out

              How's this looking?!
              Any good?!?

              Jaku Pickford

              Shaw Valencia Holgate Amat Kingsley

              Lamela Sterling Sanchez Hazard Copoue

              Benteke Lukaku Ibra

                9 years, 7 months ago

                I like the Shaw/Valencia double up, a lot of potential. Valencia appears to be the standout choice though. Is Holgate nailed? You could look at moving Shaw if not.

              2. Raheem S. Archer
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                Far too weak in defence, would be very stuck if Holgate and Kingsley don't start and having 2 4.0 gks , midfield and strikers are top notch though

              What is best cheap GK combo?

                • 13 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                Foster and Jaku

                1. Ibracadabra
                  • 16 Years
                  9 years, 7 months ago

                  Doubt Jaku will retain the starting spot for more than a few weeks. Marshall is a big signing for Hull. Pickford I think will be better for the mid-term.

              Everyone selling kun?? He is just missing two PL games... How much of you are just benching?

                Thinking of benching only. Doing minor surgery for -4 and don't want to go beyond that. Strapping my knees down and keeping the WC in reserve.

                Was going to do Negredo to Tekkers soon anyway so might do Kun to Tekkers then Negredo to Kun later

              Baines (Pens) or Williams (Baps Magnet)?

              Opinion?

                • 11 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                I got Baines 🙂

                1. El Cube
                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 7 months ago

                  I have Baines too. But need to save that extra 0.5 to bring back Lamela & Agüero in for Sterling & Kane which Im planning to bring in this week

              • 11 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Pick A or B please:

              A) Baines + Valencia + Bolasie + Zaza

              B) Holgate + Amat + Lanzini + Lukaku

              1. BlzE_94
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                Anyone?

                • 12 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                A but not with Zaza, can you afford Defoe?

                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 7 months ago

                  Zaza not a good option? Hammers striker for rest of season?!

                  1. Donblaster
                    • 12 Years
                    9 years, 7 months ago

                    Fair enough. Is he any good? I'd be tempted to wait a bit to see how he adapts.

              I'm currently sitting in the top 80k, with concerns about injuries/suspensions and a team value that isn't rising.

              Foster/Jaku
              Stones*/Valencia/Friend*/Amat/Kingsley
              Firmino/Barkley/Hazard/Redmond/Capoue
              Aguero*/Gray*/Ibra

              I'm currently on Aguero/Gray to Costa & Lukaku. It doesn't feel right, though, and I'm not very happy.

              Also considering playing AOA to try and mitigate my defensive injuries.

              Anything you think I might be missing here?

                There's a break. Friend and Stones could still play, 75% chance.
