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.
I think I need to WC. Currently already on a -4 hit with 0.3 cash left over. Worried about Lamela, Gray and obviously Aguero suspension wise. Team is:
Foster, Jaku
Valencia, Stones, McAuley, Friend, Amat
Hazard, Mane, Lamela, Redmond, Capoue
Aguero, Ibra, Gray
You took a -4 and still have Kun? Hmm, with Kun and most likely Gray out, I would be tempted to WC.
You can wait for news about Gray and confirmation of Aguero's ban, but yeah you'll probably need to WC.
Looks close to WC material.
Cheers guys thought that would be the case, just didn't want to rush in making my WC pending the suspensions but now looks like I will have to.
Was desperate to get Haz in before he went up in price again so decided to jump on board early.
Thanks for replies
Enner valencia of west ham guaranteed his place or not?
5.5 for a wham striker
Nope, hopefully we sell him tbh
God no

Worth a read. I think this is spot on.
Great article that is, thanks for posting! 🙂
Great read thanks
Thanks for this - thoughtful analysis. The one person who should read it is Joe Hart.
Aguero and Gray to Costa and Lukaku...still leaves me without an Arsenal player though
It does.
Coutinho to Ozil worth a second hit?
Thoughts greatly appreciated!

Hazard Barkley Tadic Bojan Capoue
Kun Vardy Gray
2FT £0.7m ITB
A) Kun, Tadic & Stones for Zlatan, Ozil & McAuley -4
B) Kun & Tadic for Costa/Lukaku & Sanchez
C) something else
A for me all the way
no need to make these moves tonight so I'd wait. but yeah, A
Anyone on WC considering Iheanacho? always does well when he gets a chance
Yeah, thinking City will put someone up top. Else could open up for Silva and KDB with Kun in the stands.
I'd get him on a FT. Definitely not on a WC for a couple of games, one of which is United away.
have to say it's a solid differential that. could be sneaky good Iheanacho may take full advantage of this opportunity..
Repost as lost at end of previous article.
Anyone else on a WC and looking to build TV over the international break?
Currently gone template/casual and dropped Kun.
Foster/Heaton
Shaw, McAuley, Valencia, Holgate, Amat
Haz, Sanchez, Sterling, Fer, Capoue
Ibra, Negredo, Defoe
Will maybe look to swap out Defoe and Fer for to Ineanacho and Cazorla nearer GW4.
I like it. Similar to mine below. How do you think Benteke will compare to Negredo and Defoe?
Benteke needs a specific type of team play IMO to be an FPL asset. It worked at Villa. He needs wide fullbacks or Mids that can get a cross in the area. Not sure CP have that game yet.
He tried to be a ball at feet player at LFC which started off with promise (and a high work rate) until the goals didn't come.
Eh? Palace have been putting in more crosses than just about anyone. Perfect match up and Remy will make it even better. Tekkers now also on pens btw 😉
So. Lukaku or Costa for Aguero?
damn.. or Benteke..
When it boils down to it the trade is painfully uncertain. Kun to someone cheaper is a real gut rencher but 13 mil on the bench is even more so !
But you always need a 2 transfer plan to get Kun back in.
I'm going Lukaku.
Costa I think, until the other two show some signs of points returns.
None are bad picks, Costa safer though for me.

WC team. Whats your thoughts?
Foster / Jaku
Williams / Shaw / Valencia / McAuley (Amat)
Sanchez (C) / Hazard / Sterling / Barkley (Capoue)
Ibra / Benteke (Gray**)
0.2ITB
Not sure about Gray or Benteke really. Tekkers fixtures are reasonable thoughif you aren't sure between tekkers and gray, who is your 3rd striker
With Agüero's impending & Gray's potential ban I've decided to bite the bullet & play my wild card. Any thoughts?
Foster, Heaton
Shaw, Stones, Holding, Evans, Amat
Hazard, Özil, Sterling, Wanyama, Capoue
Ibrahimovic, Rondón, Diomande
£7.2 mill in the bank to get Agüero back in place of Rondón as soon as his ban ends!
Need to keep tabs on Stones injury & suspect Holding will lose his place to Mustafa but don't think it's too bad other than that?dont have £7 in the bank. just take a hit when Kun is back!
I'm terrified of not being able afford to buy him back haha!
McAuley and Negredo rising tonight according to FFFix. I'd get them in and think about he team you want to go into GW4 and beyond after the international games.
That could be a good shout, cheers!
That front line is terrible IMO. Also, Wanyama is not a good option. Use your 7.2m in the bank to upgrade them. You can always get Aguero on 2 FTs
It's only intended to tide me over until Agüero is back (3 games). Rondóns fixtures over that time ae decent & he's in top 3 for ICT on the app. He seemed a decent stand in to me. Diomande seemed the best budget option to allow me to boost my midfield. I just don't want to get caught by price drops etc & not be able to Agüero back in
What makes you think Wanyama is a bad pick out of interest too? I thought he's a decent budget option. On 15 pts already & scored over around the 100 pts mark if I remember correctly the past 2 seasons?
Thoughts on this for a WC?
Heaton-Pickford
Shaw-Williams-McAuley-Pieters-Amat
Sanchez-Hazard-Sterling-Antonio-Capoue
Ibra-Lukaku-Remy
Looking excellent, not a fan of Pieters
Really like his fixtures though
They can't defend though
Remy is a risk - not guaranteed to start. The rest looks good though.
Aye Remy is my punt for the moment, just have a feeling he'll do well
Remy might be used as an impact sub. So monitor.
Looks good, except Remy might be a bit of risk. Worth seeing how much pitch time he gets first.
Who has a slim chance in double rising in price from now till deadline?
McCauly, Negredo etcMCcauley and Negredo tonight according to fantasy football fix.
Ibra & Sanchez tomorrowFrom now? I think all of them are a bit risky. Maybe Negredo and probably Sanchez
Hazard etc. were the ones to get early re: double rises until GW4
Minimum news needed to WC for those with a wildcard.
a) Gray suspended
b) Lamela suspended
c) a+b
d) an injury to an another attacker in your team
e) will take a hit or 2 if bad news occurs.
d
d
If c happens and I expect it to, I will take a -4.f) Kun suspended and two or more players not performing
e
WC too important to waste now. GW7/8 looks much better to me.
West Ham have made signing a RB their priority tomorrow, good news for Antonio in FPL. Valencia in talks with Swansea too, potential future cheap 3rd forward when fixtures turn to enable big hitters.
Antonio into MF or staying as a wingback?
Valencia is quite possibly the worst forward in the EPL, what are Swansea thinking
Nice. I think Antonio could be the Mahrez of 16/17. Well not the Player of the Season but you know what I mean.
Sanchez or Ozil ?
Ozil over long term
My thoughts as well. Have Sanchez atm.
Most would say explosive vs steady.
Try to get Sanchez for his purple patch but Ozil is safer maybe.
I have sanchez now. Will downgrade him to ozil to get aguero funds
Ozil is much better value. Use the funds elsewhere
Mahrez (out) - Nolito (in) yay or nay?
Big yay! Watch everyone here get him very soon.
Yay. What price tho?
9m
He's looked good in the games i've seen him.
my thoughts exactly i thought he was a striker but he's midfielder in fpl
A Cazorla and Firmino
B Ozil and Lamela
Foster and
1 Jaku
2 PickfordB and 1
Thanks. Do you think Jaku will keep position or will Marshall become no 1? That is my slight concern
Don't think Hull would change a winning formation. But who knows.

Can't believe how many are playing their wildcards already.
Seems a bit soon to me.Aguero is a big reason for most of them it seems.
Weird.. Sell Aguero for another striker, make some money, buy back again. Free transfers
/\ this
Gives you added captaincy options. Perhaps their squads were close to WC materials and Aguero pushed them over.
Fair enough if they were planning to wc anyway but using it primarily (as your post suggested) to get rid of Aguero is daft
Aguero + poor midfield + short term options for some (like Targett for example in my case)
I think many have been pushed to WCing because of Aguero, but they're not necessarily WCing solely due to Aguero.
Eh new rule on pre-January wildcard so it makes sense. Clear out the dead wood, injuries + suspended Aguero and possibly Gray.
Agreed
Current team:
Foster, Jakupovic
Valencia, Terry, Stones, Friend, Amat
Hazard, Sterling, Lamela, Redmond, Capoue
Aguero, Ibrahimovic, Gray
0FT, 0.3 in bank
Should I:
A)
Aguero & Gray -> Costa & Negredo (-8 hit)
B)
WC to:
Foster, PICKFORD
Valencia, WILLIAMS, EVANS, Friend, Amat
Hazard, OZIL, Sterling, Lamela, Capoue
Ibrahimovic, COSTA, NEGREDO
(Ibrahimovic & Costa -> Aguero & Rooney when Aguero is back.)
Wild card active two teams
Team A

Plss select any1...best combo I have come 1 with
If kun hets banned wil transfer to costa....B
Thoughts on Perez (arsenal)? worth getting?
Not yet. Sanchez or Ozil.
I pefer zaza....over perez
Nope
Kun and Carroll out.
Lukaku and ???? in.
A. Costa
B. BentekeIf price isn't an issue, Costa.
Costa
When will we know how much the Aguero ban will be?
It will 3 games, the standard rate
One is in the cup though so he will miss two prem games
6pm tomorrow
No
Okay 🙁
Soz 🙁
no tea or no doubt?
Mmm tea. Back in a bit....:. 🙂
That's what she said
Should i wc?
I have kun and gray who seem to be banned soon (is it?)
Plus i have tadic ramirez and firmino, the rest being fineI wouldn't. Even for a -8
Wow, I have exactly the same grouping of players there...
I pulled the pin and took out tadic, kun & gray for sanchez, lukaku & tekkers.
I'll keep firminho and Ramirez for a week or two but could get sterling in for firms. Thought about the WC but we shall see...baines, sterling, and a chelsea defender also look needed. Are you WC'ing then?So yeah I took a -8
If on WC think i would get rid of Azpill, fixtures turn sour soon and extra funds will come in handy.
Is lamela safe from a ban then?
He always was
uncertain but looks like it
he was just helping lovren with his contact lens
Watford
Ighalo deeney capoue Success pereyra kenedy

Big options these season?Sanchez rising tonight? FPL stats % dropping all the time. Now at 88.1%
So no
Yes this is confusing me. Surely lots of people arent transferring out so changing algorithm??
