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.

    So, if Spurs buy Sissoko for €35M, at what price would you take him in your FPL team?

    1. faver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      wont take him until i see him. can play right wing and can play defensive mid. i predict 8.0

    2. Slartibartfast

      4.0

        😆

        A little bit harsh.

        But not much.

    3. Big Sum

      4.4

      Levy will never pay that much for Sissoko surely

      1. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        5 instalments of 6 will be accepted apparently. Doable.

    5. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      6.5

      Personally, I would be hardly interested at all, particularly if Isco joins as well. I can best imagine him providing rotation to Dembelé and/or Lamela, making all three unappealing. If he'd end up playing number 10 behind Kane, well then I'd be interested in having him.

    7. Kroosin'
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Not taking him in unless he nails a starting role.

    8. Andrew

      And Arsenal get accused of panic buying geez!!

    Lost on last page:

    How does this look for wc?

    Foster (Jak)
    Valencia, Baines, Evans, Byram (Amat)
    Ozil, Lamela, Hazard, Sterling (Capoue)
    Costa, Ibra (remy)

    have 0.2 itb to play with. Any changes you'd make or gtg?

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      it's solid

    2. BB-8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Is Byram nailed on though?

  3. BB-8
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Wilshire to Palace and they could legit be a top half team

    1. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      It's all about maintaining fitness for him. They need to sort defensive frailties too.

      1. BB-8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah but with him and the two up front the club seems to be moving in the right direction

    2. Sauzée
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Would be interesting. Arsenal will regret letting him o when Ramsey, Cazorla, Elneny, Coquelin and Xhaka pick up hamstring injuries.

      1. BB-8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        We have plenty to CMs. Need Wilshire to get regular football

        1. Sauzée
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          You know what we are like with injuries though.

        2. Sauzée
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Agree it will be good for him to play!

          1. BB-8
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            When he comes back I hope he can take over from Caz 🙂

  4. Simon69

    Curious to know why people are doubling up w/ Foster & Evans in their WC teams? Heaton love seems to be gone.

    1. faver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      they haven't seen chelsea burnley game where he had like 76 saves or something

    2. Hurrikane
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Lots of people on here play like casuals and pick based on total points and price (more expensive = bigger output! (Lukaku))

      With that said, I've always been a foster owner purely because of clean sheet potential wba had

  5. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Ziyech signs for Ajax

    1. 7alwachi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Class signing, they're gonna walk the league.

      1. pompeyfan
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        not really. Already 3 points off the pace and playing appallingly

        1. Give The Todd Some Love
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Long way to go tbf. Surely you need a more central striker?

          1. pompeyfan
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            you never know, but PSV are clearly the better team.

            I wouldn't say so, we've got Traore, Dohlberg & Casseira. With Zivkovic out on loan and with other options for wingers to fill in if necessary.

            1. Give The Todd Some Love
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              All so young though. Always assumed Traore was more of a wide forward but to be fair his goal record is pretty decent.

              Your squad is ridiculously young in general.

              1. pompeyfan
                • 16 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                Traore is a very good central striker, although he did play on the wing at the weekend.

                They will always be so young because other clubs will buy our players after they've had a good few seasons due to the inequality of football finances.

  6. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    How should WC team looks like to fit in Alexis + Hazard + Ibra + other essential players and to use 2FT later on to get Kun in?

    1. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Downgrade one of your heavy hitting midfielders and upgrade one of your strikers - alternatively, keep the money ITB to upgrade as soon as Kun returns.

  7. MattB
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    With evertons fixtures coming up, is bolasie worth a punt? Guaranteed starts as koeman wouldnt waste so much money on a bench warmer and he is only 6.0?

    1. 7alwachi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Sure, I prefer Lukaku though.

  8. HurriKane
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    If Gray is available he's the best forward for 6.5 for next 3 fixtures right ?

    HUL lei WAT

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      hmmm Meh. Rondon has bou, WHM, stk (all more leaky defences at the moment)

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        And Wba that wont score more than 2 goals in those 3 match

        1. FF Dirtbag
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          if they are both rondon that would be great 😉

    2. BB-8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Remy for me

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Ohhh or this^^ depending on how nailed he is

        1. BB-8
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Can't image him leaving Chelsea bench for Palace's

          1. BB-8
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            Imagine

            1. FF Dirtbag
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              Very true. Would still wanna see how he fits in first. Haven't seen him play for an age, form could be terrible

              1. BB-8
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                Yup, also true

    3. 7alwachi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Definitely

  9. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    I know transfer plans can go to pot etc etc but what are peoples thoughts on these:

    For Next GW: Aguero and Redmond -> Lukaku and Ozil +0.5 mill ITB (-4)
    For GW 5: Firmino -> Sterling

    My team at the moment (1FT):
    Foster Jaku
    Valencia Terry Stones Friend Amat
    Hazard Firmino Lamela Redmond Capoue
    Aguero Ibra Rondon

  10. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    would Sanchez + Ozil for a few weeks be overkill?

    1. 7alwachi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Not at all, might do the same depending on the Agüero and Gray situations.

      1. kennethrhcp

    Wilshire has chosen Bournemouth according to bookies

    1. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Not the best club for an injury free season..

  12. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years

    Are you excited for the deadline day?

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Should be interesting to see where some players end up, namely: Sissoko, Wilshere, Bony

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Yup, hoping to see some shocking transfers, always exciting.

    2. Simon69
      • 13 Years

      Always.

  13. Jimjam

    (Bottomed)

    Current team after -4:

    Foster, Jakupovic*
    Valencia, Terry, Stones*, Friend*, Amat
    Hazard, Sterling, Lamela*, Redmond*, Capoue
    Ibrahimovic, Negredo, Gray*

    A. Stick.
    B. Gray -> Costa (-8)
    C. WC (starred players likely to change)

    1. 7alwachi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      C

    2. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I wouldnt WC that. Stones and friend have 2 weeks to heal. plus stones might play for england?

    1. BERGKOP

      Pretty impressive.

  15. MOUMU
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    If aguero gets banned still thinking of keeping him in the team as offloading and then onboarding him will be difficult for me..is it wise?

    Redmond out--Sterling In and below team with 0.1 and 1 more FT to go whatsay?

    Foster Jaku
    Stones Shaw Morgan Amat Friend
    Hazard Lamela Firmino Sterling Fletcher
    Aguero Ibra Diomande

    Thinking of 3-5-2 till Kun is back..
    any suggestions?

  16. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    My team right now:

    Foster - Heaton
    Valencia - Stones - Baines - Amat - Friend
    Townsend - Hazard - Barkley - Capoue - Redmond
    Aguero - Ibra - Gray

    Should I use my WC?

  17. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    About time Bony moved - what a poor decision it was for him to move to City. He was always going to be on the bench.

    1. BERGKOP
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Good cash though...

  18. Bad Seed
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    When will the Gray issue be black and white?

  19. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Brahimi to Everton, throws a spanner in the works with Mirallas, Bolasie, Deulofeu and Brahimi himself now jostling for two wide spots.

  20. hackneylad
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    One more stab at this, just to put my mind at rest before I pull the trigger - quick thoughts on WC team?

    Foster / Heaton
    Valencia / Williams / McAuley / Friend / Amat
    Hazard / Ozil / Sterling / Lamela / Capoue
    Ibra / Lukaku / Benteke

    0.1 ITB

    Could downgrade Heaton to Jaku and free up an extra 0.3 but not sure... Cheers in advance for comments

    1. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Very similar to my WC team so I like it. Would def downgrade one for Jakupovic. Curious to know why you've gone double West Brom defence? Double up at home?

      1. hackneylad
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks Leif - WBA def double-up seems good value and promising given Pulis style! There's more discussion of this team here:

    Latest WC draft. Rate out Of 10

    Foster Heaton
    Valencia Morgan Holgate Evans Amat
    Hazard Ozil Sterling Ramirez Capoue
    Lukaku Ibrahimovic Gray*
    (* If not banned)

    1. meandurr
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Foster/Heaton will give you a headache, go cheaper bench option.

      Prefer Williams over Morgan, better fixtures. McAuley/Collins over Holgate for same price (guaranteed too, Coleman is back soon).

      Like your midfield, although I recently got rid of Ramirez as he's not returning.

      Lukaku needs to show me something first and Gray's mentality off the pace.

  22. Cal1umz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    My current team.

    --------------Heaton------------------
    --Valencia--Friend--Evans---
    Hazard-Barkley-Redmond-Firmino
    -----Aguero--Gray--Ibra-----

    Subs- Jaku- Amat - Kone- Capoue.

    Would you WC to this team or save?

    -----------------Heaton----------------
    -----Valencia-Williams-Evans-------
    Hazard-Sterling-Sanchez-Redmond
    -----Benteke--Lukaku--Ibra------

    Subs- Pickford - Friend - Amat - Capoue

    Or just do Barkley > Sterling with my FT?

    Thanks!

    What do you prefer guys ?
    A) Redmond and Terry
    B) Antonio/Lamela and 4.5/4.6 deff

    If its B) its Byram nailed or should i look at Souare ? I already have Evans.

  25. TaiwanHC

    Is Lamela getting banned?!

  26. jon.terry.tfh

    Final WC draft. Comments and advice really appreciated!

    Foster/Pickford
    Amat/WIlliams/Collins/McAuley/Valencia
    Lamela/Sterling/Hazard/Ozil/Capoue
    Lukaku/Ibra/Benteke

    0.6 ITB. Save 2FT to prepare for GW6:
    Sterling -->4.5
    Lukaku --> Ibra,
    and then I will play 4 3 3 with Williams Collins McAuley Valencia at the back, Lamela Hazard Ozil in the MF, Kun Ibra + Benteke up front. Thoughts?

  27. TaiwanHC

    My team right now:

    Foster - Heaton
    Friend - Stones - Valencia - Baines - Amat
    Townsend - Hazard - Capoue - Barkley - Redmond
    Aguero - Ibra - Gray

    Should I use my WC to get this team:

    Foster - Heaton
    Valencia - Baines - Terry - Amat - X
    Hazard - Sterling - Özil - Capoue - King
    Ibra - Negredo - Lukaku

    What do you guys think?

  28. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Benteke or Negredo?

  29. Sergio AGUEROOOOO
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    help

    A. Payet & Lukaku
    or
    B. Ibra & Barkley

  30. alfrankofredane
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Really unsure whether to WC. Currently on 191 pts
    potential WC team would be

    Foster, Heaton
    Shaw, Baines, McAuley, Rose, Collins
    Haz, Sanchez, Sterling, Snodgrass, Capoue
    Ihenacheo, Ibra, Negredo

    figured with Bony on his way out Ihenacheo is worth a punt for 2 weeks and then i'll have 2FT for GW6 to shuffle Aguero back in
