Next up this Tuesday evening, we delve into the Opta data from Gameweek 5 in the first members’ article of the week. West Ham and Arsenal’s midfields are put under the microscope, while we also turn our attentions to Tottenham’s attack and Eden Hazard’s form as the fixtures turn against Chelsea.

    Anyone have a quick insight into Bony's underlying stats?

    1. The Enlightener
      10 years, 29 days ago

      I don't, but I'm guessing that can't be all that great.

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Had a look at the members section. Long story short, not good

  2. JÆKS ⭐
    10 years, 29 days ago

    Hardly see Costa in any teams on here, is it just because he has some 'harder' fixtures? Or is it because he barely gets any bonus points?

    He has the form and if he doesn't get a yc against Arsenal, I'll probably bring him in, could score against anyone. Got 3 bonus against Swansea, and just missed out on a bonus against Liverpool, so if Hazard keeps underperforming, I think Costa will get some bonus points since he will be Chelsea's key player then in an attacking point of view.

    1. BB-8
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Have him atm. Keeping him over Ibra gives me Firmino over someone like Chadli/Snodgrass

    2. VS10_
      10 years, 29 days ago

      I think people are mainly concerned about the 3 yellows and knowing that he loves to have a go at the Arsenal CB's a 4th yellow wouldn't surprise anyone. Good pick otherwise.

    3. Bullet Eder
      10 years, 29 days ago

      I've got him for the next two.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        10 years, 29 days ago

        Why ditching after those 2 games?

        1. Volley127
          10 years, 28 days ago

          For his 1 game suspension ☺️

  3. Net Gains

    It's only Tuesday evening and Hazard is starting at a price drop for the third time already this week!!!

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Slightly too expensive.

      1. Epic Fail
        10 years, 29 days ago

        Reply fail to above.

        1. TokyoRisingSun
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 29 days ago

          I do agree that hazard is slightly too expensive right now though 😉

  4. joescores
    10 years, 29 days ago

    Is there a patent to use a WC or you go by your need. Surely you have had learned something in the past. Thoughts?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Make your team good.

      1. joescores
        10 years, 29 days ago

        Fine that's what majority does..My Q was, can you use it better than others? What time zone is the most essential?

  5. THE Wild Rover
    10 years, 29 days ago

    Some big names look like falling tonight, Ibra, Rooney, Barkley and Hazard (again) included

    1. Chucky
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Hazard triple rise next week 😉

    2. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Is it me or are price drops back to how they were a few years back? Last season was once in a blue moon...now they are freefall

      1. THE Wild Rover
        10 years, 29 days ago

        Certainly seems a lot easier to fall than to rise

    3. Belsunz
      10 years, 29 days ago

      did you just include 'big names' and 'Barkley' in one sentence? 😉

      1. THE Wild Rover
        10 years, 29 days ago

        He's still over 14% ownership which makes him a big name in the game

  6. Chucky
    10 years, 29 days ago

    Which pair will score more points over the course of the season? 🙂

    A) Hazard & Payet
    B) Snoddy and Kun

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Kun.

    2. BrockLanders
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Yeah, B

    3. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Think Kun alone will outscore the other two

      1. Sánchez
        10 years, 29 days ago

        Dont be daft. He'd need about 380 points. He's never even been top points scorer ever

    4. Epic Fail
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Are you suggesting going without Kun?

      1. Chucky
        10 years, 29 days ago

        Yeah I will have to downgrade Hazard and Payet to fodder and Snoddy and play 343 if go for B.Playing 352 atm

        1. Chucky
          10 years, 29 days ago

          if i*

    5. Rex Lapis
      10 years, 29 days ago

      B

    6. Chucky
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Thanks all

    7. The Enlightener
      10 years, 29 days ago

      My guess is that going without Kun wouldn't last that long. You'll see him scoring and scoring, perhaps even 5 in one game, and you'll realize just how dangerous it is.

  7. BrockLanders
    10 years, 29 days ago

    Really want Son and Chadli in my team but have a front 8 of...

    Sanchez, Firmino, Sterling, Antonio, Capoue
    Aguero, Lukaku, Austin

    1m ITB.

    Any suggestions or should I just stick??

    1. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Worry abou Austin instead

    2. BrockLanders
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Might change him to Deeney anyway as on WC but also have Holebas and Capoue.

      Should go with my instinct and drop Antonio & Capoue for the above 2.

  8. Rex Lapis
    10 years, 29 days ago

    Which one?
    A. Sanchez Fletcher Kelly
    B. Sterling Snodgrass Walker

    Heaton Pickford
    Baines Holebas Evans Amat ___
    Firmino Antonio Capoue ___ ___
    Kun Zlatan Lukaku

              This conversation gonna look weird in a few minutes

    2. The Enlightener
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Awkward!

  16. JÆKS ⭐
    10 years, 29 days ago

    If 1 player gets 5 yc, he receives a 1 game ban right?

    Do they reset the limit to 10 yc after or is there a 1 game ban for every player getting 5 yc.

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 29 days ago

      The former.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        10 years, 29 days ago

        So if Deeney get's his 5th yc before Costa, he is safe? (for now)

        1. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 29 days ago

          No he's not. Deeney's yc has no bearing on Costa's

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            10 years, 28 days ago

            I'm not following anymore. If they reset the limit of 5 yc for a ban, to 10 yc, and someone else besides Costa is getting his 5th yc first, Costa won't be banned after 5 yc I would think?

            1. John t penguin
              10 years, 28 days ago

              You're taking the p*ss right

              1. JÆKS ⭐
                10 years, 28 days ago

                No I am not, I'm not familiar with the system here in England but from the explanation I got, they will only ban the first player to receive 5 yc and after that, you will get banned when you have 10 yc, or did I get it wrong here?

                1. Jimmers
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  10 years, 28 days ago

                  Every player who gets 5 yellows gets a 1 game ban. 2 game ban for 10 yellows

                  1. JÆKS ⭐
                    10 years, 28 days ago

                    Oh ok tnx!

  17. rdamjan

    Son option?

  18. MartialMatas
    10 years, 29 days ago

    Thought on this defence?

    Heaton Pickford
    Valencia Stones Lovren Holebas Amat

    I know people are getting frustrated by stones but surely the clean sheets are coming

  19. Flynny
    10 years, 29 days ago

    Random question....

    Who would you rather have in wildcard....

    A....Martin Kelly 4.4

    B.....Simon Francis who may soon be 4.4

    Thanks

    1. michudagawd

      Francis

      1. MartialMatas

          10 years, 29 days ago

          Cheers...will scrutinie Francis a bit more....

  20. jurgenklopp.8
    10 years, 29 days ago

    0.2 off this team...

    Foster - Heaton
    Valencia - Walker - Williams - Holebas - Kingsley
    Firmino - Sanchez - Sterling - Snodgrass - Capoue
    Kun - Lukaku - Deeney

    A) is it worth making 0.2 from walker to vertongen or heaton to pickford?
    B) or should i get antonio and ighalo +0.5 in for sterling and deeney?

    1. MartialMatas
      10 years, 29 days ago

      williams to lovrenand heaton to mandanda? not as good but you can afford it.
      Or downgrade Capoue

    2. George Agdgdgwngo
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Downgrade Kingsley to the 3.9 hulk defender at the end of the week

  21. FPL AXE
    10 years, 29 days ago

    Why is it that Agüero still has a red warning triangle on his player profile on the FPL website even though he will be available for GW6?

    1. michudagawd
      10 years, 29 days ago

      He's still suspended until after City's EFL Cup game tomorrow.

    2. TorresMagic™

  24. athreya
    10 years, 29 days ago

    Given the Arsenal Chelsea head to head of recent times it seems positively boneheaded to do Hazard to Alexis. Yet I have done it. Who else is feeling the dissonance?

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      10 years, 29 days ago

      Considering keeping KDB for this GW and doing Sanchez next week.

      Care to share the H2H?

        1 win for Arsenal in last 10 games and that was in community shield. 2 wins in last 24 PL games 🙁

    Finally comes down to this.

    A Sanchez Deeney
    (ideally want Ighalo but can't find the extra. 5)

    B Ibra Chadli
    (this will become A before GW8 with Fts)

    Who to go with for now?

    Best option from these two combos for wildcard, folks?

    a) Sterling & £7.2m striker (or below)
    b) Snodgrass & Costa
