As we approached the new season, hopes were high that Dimitri Payet could prove irresistible for our five-man midfields in 2016/17.

Restricted to just 26 minutes over the first three Gameweeks due to injury, Payet has been sold by a massive 589,000+ so far – only Eden Hazard and Riyad Mahrez have been subject to more sales in the centre of the park.

Since returning to the West Ham first XI in Gameweek 4, though, Payet has been quick to rediscover his Fantasy form.

Impressively, the Frenchman has played a part in all five of his side’s goals over that period. Payet provided two assists against both Watford and West Brom before serving up a stunning solo effort at home to Middlesbrough last time out.

With 30 points accrued in his four starts, then, this latest article for members casts an eye over Payet’s recent displays, assessing them against last season’s numbers before checking out the stats over the last four Gameweeks relative to other midfielders.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    My search for a 5.5 and below defender has ended.. Van Dijk comes in. Will bench him GW 9/10/12 for Pieters/Amat and enjoy owning him till January. The baps potential and goal threat is huge!

      i really am not trying to be top of the page with these posts.. purely accidental. apologies

      Why not buy in GW13?

      1. Valar(Keith)
        10 years, 27 days ago

        i'm on WC now 🙂 .. got Kosc/Walker already and the other options just dont tickle my fancy all that much ie Clyne/Fuchs etc

          His baps potential and goal threat is huge you say yet you're benching him for 3 games??

          1. Valar(Keith)
            10 years, 27 days ago

            yes.. cause his baps potential is huge when they get a CS/he scores and the 3 games in question are che, MCY, LIV so i'll play the odds and stomach any bench points he gets

            1. Jimmers
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              10 years, 27 days ago

              He's just as likely to score in those games as the other games

              1. Valar(Keith)
                10 years, 27 days ago

                not really mate... the tougher the defense the tougher it is to score for attackers. so it's doubly tough for defenders!

        2. Woy of the Wovers
          10 years, 27 days ago

          That's a pricey defence. Bit too much of a gamble that defences will start scoring for my liking.

          1. Valar(Keith)
            10 years, 27 days ago

            I'm taking a gamble on defense because most of the players in my ML have a bad defense. could hopefully make a 30+ point difference over the next 2-3 weeks without em even realising while they are stuck with evans/friend/stones etc

      3 GWs late 😛

      1. Valar(Keith)
        10 years, 27 days ago

        🙂 .. i was stuck with my pre WC disaster of Shaw Evans Stones Friend during that time 😎

    4. JIM BOB

      What happened to Vertongen?

      1. Valar(Keith)
        10 years, 27 days ago

        i got Rose instead 🙂

        1. JIM BOB
          10 years, 27 days ago

          But you're that guy that goes for the safe option?

    5. white lightning
      10 years, 27 days ago

      If Bertrand & Cedric are out I think this will make their defense less appealing.

  2. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 27 days ago

    If Grey played for Scotland do you think he would put that shirt on with pride?

    1. Kalou
      10 years, 27 days ago

      He wouldnt get a game for scotland,we only play strikers who are not scoring!

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 27 days ago

        no idea why we started Fletcher. Guys a dinosaur.

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Dier is having a mare

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 27 days ago

      His play is dire.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      10 years, 27 days ago

      That makes Rooney's sexual exploits seem conservative.

  4. Jimmers

    Scotland 0-2
    They deserve it with that awful strip

  5. Woy of the Wovers

    Rok Kronavater. That's a WWF nickname.

  6. Haggis
    10 years, 27 days ago

    I need to replace the poor fella Souaré. Have 0,3 ITB and was originally going with Adam Smith.

    But now I'm actually looking to Stoke, specifically Pieters or Cameron. Their fixtures are superb, they have a seemingly capable keeper, and probably an extra boost in morale after a point at Old Trafford, I'm thinking this is a perfect time for Sparky's crew to turn things around - especially at home.

    If my read is indeed correct, who would you choose of the two at 4.4 An OOP Cameron in CM or Pieters at LB, stats-wise I can't see any standout choice.

  13. HurriKane

    Townsend has done more in 10 seconds than Walcott did in 70 mins

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 27 days ago

      Walcott is just not that good.

      1. HurriKane
        10 years, 27 days ago

        * Little bit of exaggeration ?

        Lets put it like this decent player in real life but better fpl asset

        - Total pl minutes : 14296(approximately 159 matches per 90)

        - 58 goals 54 assists = 112, goal/assist per 90 = 0.70

    2. HurriKane
      10 years, 27 days ago

      *60

    3. Woy of the Wovers

      Andy Townsend has the easy job.

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      10 years, 27 days ago

      Wasn't exactly hard

      If he did a short sprint it would be more

  14. Gnu

    2-0 down but on the upside - Westworld is being recorded.

    1. BabyB
      10 years, 27 days ago

      Depressing how bad we are 🙁

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 27 days ago

        Yep, I thought we were starting to develop under Strachan but the performance & selections over the last 2 games has been bewildering.

        1. BabyB
          10 years, 27 days ago

          Yeah, refusal to play griffiths is just stupid.

          Limited resources none the less.

          1. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            10 years, 27 days ago

            Yes we have limited resources but I don't know how Bannen & Martin have been getting starts.
            I don't know why I still give so much hope & emotion into watching Scotland, got to wise up eventually. 🙂

    No rashford, no vardy

    What's sturridge still on the pitch for

    Ridiculous

  16. ASHASHASH

    A) Walker, Wally, Deeney
    B) Mustafi, Son, Deeney

    Got Sanchez

    How on earth is Lingard playing at international level? Terrible player.

    1. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 27 days ago

      Can't believe he is still on the pitch

  18. shirtless

    10 years, 27 days ago

    Locking in my transfers tonight. If Kun gets injured I'll take a hit for Iheanacho as I want Shaw & Hazard out regardless. Benteke(c) and relax..

  19. I Member

    What's FIFA 17 like gameplay wise? Better or worse than 16?

    1. Jay_
      10 years, 27 days ago

      Faster pace but slower, unresponsive touches from your player. Just seems like a half second delay. I really don't like it. Going back to PRO for the first time since 06

      1. Jay_
        10 years, 27 days ago

        Genuinely prefer 16, even the graphics are better

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      10 years, 27 days ago

      It's good, and I think better.

      But there is a little input delay that can be a little frustrating, and skills aren't very effective anymore.

  20. Merlin the Wraith
    10 years, 27 days ago

    Any sinister reason why Ozil was replaced half time?

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      10 years, 27 days ago

      Wenger want to have at least one attacking player semi rested

    2. Merlin the Wraith
      10 years, 27 days ago

      Would love to think it so fella.. Sitting on four yellow flags already. Int weeks just a constant squirmfest.

    Is anyone finding the members articles a bit inconclusive?

    "Oh Great, I've been struggling to decide which Liverpool Mid/Arsenal Defender to pick. Time to make sense of all the realms of data and get the inside scoop. Now THIS is what I pay my membership fee for."

    You read the whole thing and get to the so-called conclusion and it basically says: "Choose any one you want; they're pretty much the same as each other."

    Brilliant.

  22. George Sillett
    10 years, 27 days ago

    Speaks volumes that Rooney is replaced as England captain by someone just as average as him.

  23. JIM BOB
    10 years, 27 days ago

    Who will score most FPL points this season?

    A.) Sterling

    B.) Alli

    1. HurriKane
      10 years, 27 days ago

      A definitely baring any injuries

    2. Gazj11
      10 years, 27 days ago

      B

  24. Karan_G14
    10 years, 27 days ago

    Was Walcott bad or did the whole team make each other look bad? His performance is putting me off getting him in. But he looks a different player in the Arsenal shirt right now.

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
