After taking a look at the main goal threat from Fantasy Premier League defenders priced at 5.0 and under earlier in the week, we now turn our attentions to the centre of the park.

With the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Eden Hazard and Raheem Sterling high up on our shopping lists after bagging double-figure hauls in Gameweek 3, the need for value in midfield is vital.

This time around, then, we look at the leading contenders in the sub-8.0 bracket over the first three rounds of fixtures.

    Is Baines Mirallas and lukaku too much Everton.I already have the first two.

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Yeah, 2 too many IMO. Baines is a good shout.

    2. Fpl Old Guard

      No I think you can add a fourth and have perfect points coverage!

      1. thepeen555

        4?

        1. Fpl Old Guard
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Fell for it then 🙂

            I thought u was going bonkers thinking 4 possible

            1. Fpl Old Guard

              Ha not as bonkers as some of my transfers

    Sorry I know Im late, but Lukakuuuuuu. Finally he scores.

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 14 days ago

      International. His international scoring has not been in question. Plus it is Cyprus.

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        I dont care. He scored!

        1. The Wise Owl
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          All it takes is a run of good form in internationals to leak into the premier league.

          1. Bubz
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            It's certainly better than not scoring

      2. Slam

        10 years, 14 days ago

        That goal (and hopefully more to come) might help his confidence though.
        And each game he plays, he gains more match fitness...

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Did he only score 1 against Cyprus?

    2. thepeen555
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I will put him in for 1 match in place of bony cause stole have Spurs visit

    RMT PLEASE. Wildcard Active

    Heaton(pickford)
    Valencia/Collins/Baines (Amat/Evans)
    Sterling/Lamela/Hazard/Antonio (Capoue)
    Ibra/Benteke/Costa

    Any changes you will do? any thoughts will be appreciate

    1. Big Red Dog

      Is Valencia playing the derby? Nice team

    3. gudnodin
      • 10 Years

      I am hoping for him to pull through. My only issue is i got no Arsenal coverage. hmm

    4. Fpl Old Guard
      • 15 Years

      Lots of work to do yet, if I were you cancel your wildcard (hopefully you haven't committed to playing it)

      1. Davido989
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Better than Firmino though.

        1. Syd.
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          The new Ronaldo

        2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Were people saying that or is that another you've made up?

          I don't recall any of those claims if I'm honest, and I'd doubt they ever happened in any kind of bulk tbh, particularly as most on here had never heard of Firmino when he joined.

          Firmino's a country mile ahead, and has performed better and at a higher level for longer than Depay ever has.

          Depay started well, then went to turd. Firmino started slowly but is still Pool's best player, imo.

    WC Team:
    Foster - Pickford
    23m DEF
    Hazard - Sanchez - Ozil - Snodgrass - Capoue
    Ibra - Benteke - 9m

    GW6:
    9m -> Aguero, drop Sanchez/Ozil -> 7m/5.5m

    Thoughts?
    Think i'd be happy having the big 4.

    1. Bleach †
      • 10 Years

      Price would be only thing for me, also on pens probably

    2. Dude1234
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Palace will set up to suit tekkers strengths. Could be a real powerhouse

      1. Dark_Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        They really won't score many though, so regardless of how well he does he's only really likely to score 1 in 2 or 3 at best.

    3. 404_FC
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      defoe is better ? (7.1) and gurantee on pens + cheaper , tekkers (7.4)

  13. Magic Bean
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Both Shaw and Valencia doubtful for the derby, hope at least one pulls through.

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      They will both be fit

    2. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Valencia arriving back 24 hours before kickoff from South America, dunno about that. Here's hoping

    3. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Shaw will play. Valencia will probably play too.

      If this were my team, I wouldn't want Stekelenburg, Roberson and Mirallas, think there are better options

      1. Squires FC
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Have done robertson to collins

  16. wolves_simmo

    Long term

    Mane, Coutinho or Firmino?

    1. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Mane

    2. gudnodin
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Mane

    3. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Firmino

    4. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Long term I think Id actually say Firmino

    5. FAITHNOMORENO
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      nothing's long term with liverpool assets

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        why do you say that?

        1. FAITHNOMORENO
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          sorry,answered a comment below this one.

      2. FAITHNOMORENO
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        inconsistency.
        couts will score and disappear,firmino did a lot so far,but not fpl wise.mane looked dangerous,we are yet to learn about him and his true value in red shirt.lallana does a lot of difensive work nowadays,hendo doesn't exist,wijnaldum trying to find himself too.
        even though I am a supporter,it's a mish mash currently.

    6. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Long term: Firmino. Mane needs to prove he can be consistent.

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        I owned him for 9 games last year, got 21pts from him. Points dodging at it's finest. Never again 🙂

        1. Davido989
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Unlucky 😆

    7. Big Red Dog
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Probably Mane

    8. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      This feels almost like the Sancez vs. Ozil debate, but with a little less difference in price. If you like purple patches of explosive hauls, with some real stinker runs thrown in, then Mane. If you prefer someone who is likely to tick along all year and end the season with 9 goals and 12 assists, then Firmino.

      1. wolves_simmo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Yeah I'm torn myself between the two, looking at the comments it's torn on here too!

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Yeah, personally, I prefer to watch Mane (and Sanchez) play, but tend to like the stability of Firmino (and Ozil) on my fantasy team.

    9. Licky
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      I would say Firmino if Klopp starts utilising a striker.

    10. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Don't see any love for Coutinho. He too has his double digit hauls but is a bit inconsistent. I think all of them are going to share points.

    11. Niemi
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      This. Think Mane looked great so far, but Firmino seems to have a lot higher assist potential looking at the stats.

  17. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Sorry for all the questions and thanks for being patient with me...

    1. Syd.

      Sorry but I missed them

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

      That would be a great facial tattoo

  18. Neshi
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Why are people choosing Sanchez instead of Özil?

    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      He scores more points.. Radical I know

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Gray owners, what are you doing?

        All this ban talk is putting me off owning him

        1. THE Wild Rover
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          No idea, ask a Gray owner 😉

        2. KOLASINA(C)
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Keeping for this GW and sell after he will finally receive the ban he wanted to delay.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Costs more money.

    4. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      He may be on a scoring streak which means he is the arsenal asset to have but Ozil will provide greater consistency so it's a toss up, price is a big factor too of course

    5. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Because they think he is a better pick. Others think Ozil is a better pick with 1.5M to get a better player. Personal choice. Everyone will try to convince you their pick is better. Just pick who you think is getter but take into account the player you would have with that 1.5M. e.g. Sanchez/6M or Ozil/7.5M

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Yet hardly anyone can see this argument when I tout Rooney +2.8m over Zlatan. Very selective, weird that

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          10 years, 14 days ago

          I didn't comment on that but tbf I see that as slightly different. Rooney is terrible 🙂

          1. THE Wild Rover
            • 16 Years

            Not in FPL when you look at what you can get for the extra money.

              I see your point. I personally wouldn't feel ok having Rooney even with 2.5M. I want Ibra. I feel ok having Ozil in my team. Again, its personal choice. I Just think Ozil will keep up with Sanchez even without the price difference.

    Gray owners, what are you doing?

    All this ban talk is putting me off owning him

    1. Dark_Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Sold for Bony

    2. Shearer & Sutton
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Keep this week.
      Next week Gray -> Benteke/Bony.

    3. Licky

      I think he's free to play this weekend. I like the fixture so I'm keeping until next week.

    As I am WCing in GW6, I am trying to look at the next 2 GWs only.

    Should I:

    A. GW4: Tadic ➡ Sanchez (-4)
    GW5: Gray ➡ FWD up to 6.6 (ex. Rondon, Remy, Austin)

    B. GW4: Tadic ➡ Ozil (-4)
    GW5: Gray ➡ FWD up to 8.1 (ex. Benteke, Bony, Zaza, Iheanacho)

    ?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      B looks better. You could simply keep Gray.

  24. Dark_Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 14 days ago

    Sanchez and Sterling
    Or
    Ozil and Firmino ?

    1. Worzel Gummidge

      OF

    2. lasmons
      • 11 Years

      I have Ozil, Sterling and Firmino. Best tripple in mid imo. (+ Haz)

      1. Dark_Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 14 days ago

        Nice. Been striving for that but also want Antonio for WHU cover. Stupid game.

      2. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 14 days ago

        If you keep those then no Ibra/Aguero double up for you.

  25. thepeen555
    • 10 Years

    Should I transfer out (on a WC) foster as I have put McCauley in defence?

    I don't like to double up so was thinking of putting Heaton instead - don't want to do it as foster is 4.6 then need to put him back for more

    1. Dark_Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      Wait til foster rises and yes

      1. thepeen555

        Thanks

    2. Niemi
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 14 days ago

      He is rising to 4.7 any moment, so you could sell him for a 0.1 profit. I'm on a WC and keeping Heaton.

      1. thepeen555
        • 10 Years

    I have the money itb after wildcard to put kun in over ibra - quite like my team without both in it tbh

    I could keep ibra but as a united fan the first time I put him in he drew a blank lol

    The issue with arsenal coverage is that the two main routes into their attack are highly priced. Compared for example to Liverpool who I think are equally potent in attack. However with Liverpool the points are spread out more.

  30. Pogdigal Son

    A or B?

    A. Sanchez & Lamela
    B. Ozil & Mane
