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.

    Is there something I'm missing
    Aguero is 13.1 m, I f I go to sell him I only get the original value of 13.0 m in my bank balance???
    How come

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Cuz he raise only 0.1 when he raise 0.2 you got 0.1

    2. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He needs to rise to 13.2 before you make a profit 🙂 Then he'd be sold for 13.1 etc.

    Sanchez Or Sterling To Join Your Team ?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      both 😉

    2. KingOllie

      Alexisssss

  3. Cheesy-chips
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Foster (Jaku)
    Fuchs Stones Valencia Friend (Paredes)
    Hazard Redmond Lamela Barkley
    Gray Ibra Aguero

    Redmond + Aguero out for who?

    A) Sanchez + Benteke (and risk Gray)
    B) Sanchez, Defoe, Benteke (-4)
    C) Sanchez, Sterling, Diamande (352, risk Gray again)

    Any help much appreciated and reciprocated!

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Same here and think to get Sanchez / Sterling with Negerdo

    2. Champ

      Antonio. Nice fixtures and he's on form.

      1. John wick
        • 10 Years

        Cheers man

  5. BlzE_94
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Can i get away with a defense of McAuley Amat Holgate/Collins Kingsley Love if i have an awesome front 7? 😛

    1. Cynical
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No. Coleman will replace Holgate soon and double Swansea is mad risky with their upcoming fixtures.

      1. BlzE_94
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I'm always going to be playing 3 defenders though? McAuley, Collins and Amat

        1. Cynical
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Only McAuley is likely to produce regular clean sheets though. I like to head into each GW with more confidence in the backline.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nah. You need some defence. They can make an average score a good score

    3. Rider on the Storm
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No

  6. Robert's Son

      Bolasie plays for everton now

  7. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez rising tonight? FPL stats % dropping all the time. Now at 88.1% Hes the only one I'm concerned about being so highly priced ahead of a wc tomorrow.

    1. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      WC transfers dragging it down I suspect. He'll rise, probably double rise before the end of the int. break.

    2. Insert your own Joe Kinnear

  8. N00B

    If Mustafi will be 5.5 , would you prefer him or Terry?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Good value with Arsenals upcoming fixtures but will he start immediately or will Arsene ease him in?

    2. Bleach †
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      none, but if I really had to, then Mustafi

    3. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Mustafi

    4. Cynical
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Mustafi.

  9. djapebronx

    Should I WC?

    foster jakup
    stones valencia friend amat pieters

    aguero vardy gray

    Thanks.

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sure Not

    2. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'm going to say no. Midfield is very nice, although Sterling for Ozil eventually could work.

      Jakup may need shipping at some point too.

      This week prioritise Aguero and Gray (if Gray is banned too) if you can, get them out and plan for how you can bring Aguero back.

  10. Rider on the Storm

    Bottomed
    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 fine

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Gray Gonna Banned Too ???
      Why ?

      1. Rider on the Storm
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Homophobic tweets

      2. Cynical
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Homophobia.

  11. Bullet Eder
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Callum Chambers, 4.5 at Boro. Definitely getting him in.

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He's not even near likely to start. What makes him a better bet than Friend?

      1. Bullet Eder
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        He is after Karanka's comments.

    2. Samirich
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Is he going to play cb or rb? And is he starting straight away?

      1. Bullet Eder
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure which. I would guess centre back, alongside Ayala or Gibson.

      2. Okladomah
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Think some Boro fans find it a little weird tbh. Ayala and Gibson are easily the best centre backs and even Espinosa had a good rep in Spain for Sporting Gijon. I don't see Chambers getting in as first choice here.
        Barragan has shown he's useful at centre back and left back but is actually a right back. I think this is where Chambers fits in - right back covering centre back positions.
        I think this means Nsue has either now lost his position or could now be OOP on the right wing but as a squad player.

        Jaezz is right, I'd opt for Friend anyway as he's the same price and has great BAP potential. His competition is an injured Fabio whereas Chambers just has too much but why would Arsenal loan him out if he's benched? Strange one.

      suicide averted. lives saved. just a normal day here

  13. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    How is Harry Kane for að 2 weeks punt? (stk and SUN in next two)

    Other options are Costa, Vardy, Lukaku (already have Barkley). Have to pull the trigger tonigth if I am bringing Kane in so I can afford Alexis as well

    1. Pointless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez will probably blank next two games then score a hat trick!
      And remember he was playing OOP last weekend.

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kane has looked out of sorts all summer. Vardy starting to play well

    3. COYS Down Under
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kane didn't score last season until the end of Sept. I'd go Costa or Lukaku.

    4. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I would go with Costa if I was you. Kane really has shown no form.

  14. Geoff

    @mods Hot Topic

    Which transfers that have gone through will become sure starters, displacing old players? Whose spot will they likely take?

    Marshall taking Jakupovic's spot seems an obvious one

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Jakupovic is in great form so not sure on that either.

  15. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku or Benteke?

    1. Pointless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku.

    2. Rider on the Storm
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Bad form for both...

    3. Insert your own Joe Kinnear
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      whichever one you get, I suspect the other will do better. Thats the way those guys roll

    4. Cynical
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I have both right now but with the players surrounding him, Lukaku is surely the better option.

    5. Bushido
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Remy

    6. Fingerspitzengefühl
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Both when Kun is out

  16. Carcetti
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Ibra, Lukaku, Cazorla IN for Aguero, Long and Mane/Mahrez? (-4)

    Want Ozil but can only afford Santi for now..

  17. Rider on the Storm
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I need to buy negredo tonite because of his prise rise.
    I will decide later if i need a wc (i think so tonite)
    Sell
    A aguero
    B gray
    ?

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      In other words who is the most likely to get banned?

      1. KingOllie
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        A is deffo banned

        1. Rider on the Storm
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers

      2. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Both will. Kun probably sooner.

    2. Cynical
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kun I suppose.

      Not sure why you want Negredo. He's started well but there are better options like Defoe.

  18. Tee
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is it stupid to have both Sanchez and Ozil for the the forseeable future?

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not stupid but one seems enough for me

  19. COYS Down Under
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone just taking a hit instead of WC? Better to WC him back in with more knowledge of form players I'm thinking

    1. Ridgewell's scores
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      exactly

    2. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yep I'm taking a -4. Maybe -8 if Gray is banned

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah that's what I'm leaning towards but a -8 would been a huge drop in rank at this point wouldn't it?

  20. Still Unsure
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Quick tinker gives me this - initial thoughts?

      Foster, Jako
      Valencia, Williams, Friend, Amat, McAuley
      Hazard, Ozil, Sterling, Lamela, Hojbjerg
      Ibra, Lukaku, Rondon

      £1.4 ITB so could do a straight Ibra to Kun swop once he's back.

    • KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Get on the alexis train.
      His scores come in patches.

      Heed my warning!

      1. Pointless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        This patch ended at the weekend!

    • Patty
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Is Giroud or Perez the better pick for an Arsenal forward?

      1. Rider on the Storm
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Giroud i think

      2. Cynical
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Giroud for now but I'd avoid until one of them is nailed.

    • UpAndAway
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Is Kun as good as done? Any chance his ban gets overturned?

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        No chance.

      2. Insert your own Joe Kinnear
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I think a panel decides, so yes some chance. but the consensus seems to be hell be banned

      just a quick question:
      will Yacine Brahimi be listed as a midfielder or forward in fpl if he was to join Everton? Appreciate any responses

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights

      2. KingOllie

    • Slam
      • 10 Years

      1. COYS Down Under
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        A

      2. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        A from them but I'd still build my team around Sanchez.

        1. Slam

          Really? Interesting idea

        Thanks guys.
        reason in confused is hes described as a secondary striker. Which, the way I see it, means a formation reshuffle
