Our next members article of the week takes a closer look at goal threat from the back. We focus on Fantasy Premier League defenders priced at 5.0 or below as we delve into the Opta data in an attempt to seek out value in our five-man backlines.

    with everyone talking about costa's record against Swansea isn't he a very decent shout for this weeks captain?? i like him over Sanchez

    hazard is a issue though

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sanchez and Hazard for me.

  2. ANDER.

    How good is Diomande as a 3rd striker?

    1. TheEgyptianKing
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      perfect for a 352 spare stirker, plays and is cheap

    2. ANDER.
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Is he nailed on?

      1. TheEgyptianKing
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Right now he is, unless Mbokani plays over him

    3. Dre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Hull now have Keane and Mbokani as competition, so I'd say he's a rotation risk

    4. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Risky

    5. ANDER.
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers guys! I have 1.0 ITB. Tell me a good one less than 5.5.

    6. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      They also have Hendriksen

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

        A good one under 5.5?

        1. Jericho101
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Stuani

  3. TheEgyptianKing

    I hope Gray doesent get banned as ive done my team not to use wildcard and if h is banned it may push me over the edge

    1. Dre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I hope Gray does get banned because what he tweeted was disgusting

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

        A lot changes in 4 years.

        1. Dre
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          The comments were still there available to read in his social media. I think a retrospective ban is justifiable.

      2. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        It was 4 years ago. Ridiculous to ban him now.

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

          Agree completely

        2. Clump
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Similar reasoning would set free Rolf Harris 🙁

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

            You shouldn't compare legal proceedings and a fa ban

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

              Gray is extremely lucky legal proceedings have not been brought against him.
              It fell into the category of a hate crime 4 years ago, and still does to this day.

            2. Dre
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              When he tweeted those comments he was 21 years old, an adult.

              While it might be that he's only getting an FA charge because his profile has increased, what kind of a message does it send letting him off with a warning? And Clump has a fair point, why should it be acceptable because he said it "when he was a different person"?

              1. FCSB
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                this.

              2. @persecuted_by_mods
                  9 years, 7 months ago

                  Exactly, he was old enough. Didn't even bother to remove the tweets or make a new account. Things can change in 4 years, but they usually don't.

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

              great point!

    2. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Took a minus 8 for this

      Foster Jak
      Shaw Stones Amat Friend Evans
      Hazard Sanchez Barkley Ramirez Capoue
      Costa Ibra Gray

      Take the -8 or WildCard?

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

        Good if Gray doesn't get the ban.

      2. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        WC and get rid of Gray, Ramirez and Stones.

        1. Sanchit
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          This

      3. Concrete

    4. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I knew managers made good money, but I just read that Guardiola makes a whopping £290'000 / week. That should be enough to put food on the table.

      1. TheEgyptianKing
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Dont think it will be just food, it will be a whole Buffet

      2. Flynniesta
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Certainly gives him a few more tapas options

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

        food and cocaine

    5. JackG55
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Redmond to Antonio for 0.9mill worth it?
      Rondon, Benteke or Bony?

      1. Sanchit
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Benteke

    6. Jayben23
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ozil / sterling / nolito / cazorla

    7. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Anybody keen for a gamble on Ihaenacho whilst Kun is out?

      His goals per minute ratio is unreal.

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Don't expect him to get any points at OT

      2. Clump
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        It is indeed. It's whether Pep plays Nolito in a false 9 that worries me.
        He looks a cracking shout if he starts though.

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

        Really really considered it

      4. M.A.G
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        His goal/min ratio is insane
        the only problem is his game time
        Pep loves to play False 9

      5. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I might GW5.

    8. TaiwanHC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm thinking to take Aguero out and Lukaku/Costa in. However, another option is to also take Redmond out and Sanchez in. Since I only have 1 FT, the second option will cost me 4 points. So the second option is only profitable if Sanchez gets 5 points more than Redmond.

      So which one would you do?

      A. Aguero --> Costa/Lukaku
      B. Aguero + Redmond --> Lukaku + Sanchez (-4)

    9. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Is this attack a bit light? Waiting for Kun to be back.

      Hazard Sanchez Barkley Antonio (Capoue)
      Ibra Benteke Defoe

      1. makaveli123
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Looks good.

      2. TheEgyptianKing
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I think everyone attack looks lightweight without aguero

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

        Nowt wrong with that.

      4. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        not light in size as well as points for sure

      5. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers guys

    10. Patty

      So the outcome of a formal hearing is that Gray is playing this weekend?

    11. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      apart from agueros 50 points haul vs Newcastle what is the highest score ppl hv got in 1 gw from 1 player?

      1. makaveli123
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Berbatov 50 pts (c)

      2. TheEgyptianKing
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Defoe and berbatov both scored 5 in a match (2009,2011)

      3. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        TC Sanchez in the DGW

      4. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Aguero TC 25 x 3 = 75

        GW34.

        1. McQueen
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          3 points more, I believe he got 26 in GW 34 and Sanchez 25.

          Good times.

      5. Kenzoblu
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Walcott 26 x 2 = 52 vs newcastle (before the TC chip was available)

        1. zøphar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          This. I miss newcastle. biggest hauls have been against them.

        2. AA33
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah Walcott 26 points!

      6. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Hi Everyone, can I get your thoughts on this please:

        Remove one
        A) Stones
        B) Morgan

        Replace with
        1) Baines
        2) Williams

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

          B1

        2. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Morgan to baines

      7. BB-8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Want to fit Bainsey in. Pick one of these-

        A. Heaton Baines leko(non playing 4.4 mid)
        B. Mandanda Baines Rodwell
        C. Foster Williams Capoue (no Baines)

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

          B

        2. Dre
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Not worried about a fit again Hennessy for B?

          C looks the better option

        3. zøphar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          both A and B have risks, 4.4 mid in A and Mandanda in B

          I'd go for C. Capoue an excellent 5th mid

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

        Re the Gray case

        "No date has yet been set for that hearing, with the FA last night saying one will be arranged ‘in due course’.
        But their own guidelines say that all case papers for personal hearings ‘must be distributed to the participant and the commission members at least three days prior to the hearing’.

        That would rule out the possibility of a hearing taking place before the weekend, and the visit of the Tigers to Turf Moor."

        1. Bullet Eder

          walker looked great vs Slovakia .... think he Valencia and baines can be a great defense pairing this season.....

            That will be a costly defence, go for Williams -> Baines, you might save yourself a few bucks.

          Thoughts on Lamela? Do you guys think he still is nailed on with the arrival of Sissoko? Could he be rested at the weekend, because he gets back late from international duties?

            i think he could be rested, especially with the CL game next week too.... i 90% sure im gonna transfer him out for antonio

          Kingsley - Pieters - Valencia - Williams - Galloway

          Haz- Ozil - Snoddy - Capoue - Mane

          Ibra- Kane- Tekkers

          What do you guys think? & what should I do differently ? Thanks in advance

            don't put pieters in until Saturday morning if you want him may drop to 4.4 by then. coleman played today for ireland so galloway most likely goneskie. ditto for kingsley with naylor playing today for wales

              Is pieters nailed?
              And what about collins?

                I believe both of them are. Collins until he makes a mistake 😉

              Galloway doesn't play for Everton anymore, you meant Holgate is goneskie now that Coleman is back?

              Can't believe that everyone is ignoring Josh king .....

        • FCSB

          is holgate still a likely starter??

            Doubt it! Although he did play pretty well. But Coleman is first choice, no doubt.

            He won't, he'll score a brace, come back to UK and score another brace! He's not human, he's a goal machine!! 😉
