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

        Both are going to be draws, maybe even a surprise win for Swansea. When did Arsenal last beat them anyway? šŸ˜‰

        Rate my team:

        GK - Heaton (Pickford)

        DEF - Shaw, Williams, McAuley (Friend, Amat)

        MID - Capoue, Ozil, Sterling, Antonio (Fletcher)

        FOR - Lukaku, Aguero, Ibra

        I have 2 free transfers.

          Antonio to Son and probably get an Arsenal def

            • 12 Years

            Antonio has Stoke and Sunderland at home in next 4 gws

            1. COYS Down Under
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Form > Fixtures.

              Unless past stats prove the player can't perform in tough games.

              1. Live Lad
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Antonio has both form and fixture.

        Hey all. 2FT 0.1m

        Foster Pickford
        Baines Lovren Smith Holebas Amat
        Sanchez Firmino Sterling Antonio Capoue
        Aguero Lukaku Deeney

        Baines > Pieters
        Baines > Robertson
        Antonio > Son
        Antonio > Snodgrass

        Thoughts? Baines needs to go I think. Thanks!

        1. bigbudgie
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Baines is on his way back it seems, depends how much you trust the Everton defence. Personally I'd be doing Capoue to a real 5th mid (4.4) and Baines > Arsenal / Spurs defender

          1. Geoff
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years

            Interesting. See that's why I asked, I hadn't thought of this at all.

            Son is just so exciting. Do you think Antonio will be worth keeping in the side?

        it still amuses me that people think these flights have a negative impact on player form. yeah these multi-millionaires that have to utilize luxury/privtte travel where they can just sleep or get waited on really lose form as a result of being in the air..

        1. Pariße
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Not form, but longer journeys certainly have an impact on fatigue. No matter how luxurious the plane, you'll probably be tired once you're back on the ground.

        2. Ziegler1988

          “Sometimes the matter of travelling – resting, the schedule changes, doesn’t help. But I’m pretty good. I wanted to play against Peru, to be available, and I endured everything I could."

          1. Twelve years a slave
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            It not about being in the air, more about adjustment to time zones.

            1. Pariße
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              I don't think travelling same distance North-South or East-West makes too much difference. What happens after, maybe, but the flight is more tiresome by itself than the adjustment imo.

        What a miss by Vidal in the first half. Empty goal, 2 yards out, managed to find the goalkeeper šŸ˜€

        MID - Capoue, Ozil, Sterling, Antonio (Fletcher)

        FOR - Lukaku, Aguero, Ibra

        Shaw to Koscielny? Ibra to Defoe? Capoue to Firmino?

        I need some help. I have 2 free transfers.

        1. GS456
          • 10 Years

        2. bigbudgie
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Your midfield needs more Sanchez
          Can you do Ibra > Wilson and Capoue > Sanchez?
          Having Ozil and Sanchez for the next 2 could be worse....then Ozil > Liverpool mid

      12. Pariße

        In spite of American commentators supposedly lacking on the expertise, they certainly know how to almost perfectly pronounce the surnames, the English ones are one of the worst at it.

        Bolasie to Snoddy? Simple transfer this week??

        Also thinking Antonio > Walcott/Son for a -4

        1. Jason Bourne
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Thinking Bolasie to Snoddy next week myself. Antonio is a hold IMO.

        2. janowsc
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Sounds good to me. I want Walcott myself but can't fit him in my team...

        3. bigbudgie

          First one defo second one not for a hit....wait a week

          • 13 Years

          Im doing antonio > son (-4)

          Ihave exact money so its now or never but id have preferred to wait a week and look at it next week

        5. GS456
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Cheers Lads. Might be worth the hit to get one of them in, -as funds are tight around both son and Theo

      16. Krafty Werks
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Pickford (Jaku)
        Walker, Holebas, Coleman (Amat, Kingsley)
        Sanchez, Firmino, Sterling, Antonio (Capoue)
        Kun, Lukaku, Deeney

        2FT's - 0ITB.

        Jaku > Cech, Lukaku > Callum Wilson (prefer to Austin with Bournemouth's fixtures), Antonio > Son...then GW9 Capoue > Snodgrass making 3-5-2 a viable option over next 7 weeks with Hull's great run of fixtures.

        Any comments much appreciated, thanks.

        1. janowsc
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Keep Lukaku. Upgrade your D somewhere not to burn a transfer, but I'd save your front 8 as is imo.

        2. Ziegler1988
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Capoue to De Roon and roll the other FT

          1. Krafty Werks
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Why De Roon over Capoue? For the 0.4 right?

            1. Ziegler1988
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Yeah, then put it into your 4th defender later

          Difficult to plan transfers like this. Better go with the best long term options. Hull have good fixtures but they are not a great team....

          1. Krafty Werks
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            The Wilson / Snoddy rotation looks really tempting for next 6/7 that's all and the Kaku money allows both the Arsenal defensive cover i really want (can see a few cleanies coming up for sure) and also allows the introduction of Son appears on fire....mmm?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Long term Austin fixtures better and he's =3rd SoT last 3 GWs behind Ibra and Aguero.

        Morning DZ
        Opinions on the weakest link in this team:

        Pickford / Jaku

        Kos / Williams / Lovren / Holebas / Amat

        Sanchez / Sterling / Antonio / Firmino / Fletcher

        Lukaku / Kun / Rashford

        1. COYS Down Under
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Rashford is the weakest link.

          Antonio is next weakest but has decent fixtures still.

        2. Amateur Pundit Zan
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Save

          Rashford next 2 make him the weakest but not worth a transfer to shift as no options leap out

      18. white lightning
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        My ft will probably be Valencia out & Holebas in (not done yet) which leaves 0ft & 1.0itb

        Foster (Jaku)
        Bellerin, Walker, Holebas (McAuley, Amat)
        Sanchez, Firmino, Antonio, Snodgrass (Capoue)
        Aguero, Costa (c), Rashford

        My question is = play Rashford or Capoue

        Thanks.

            I thought he had a minor injury...waiting for more news...

              What do you think of Lee Grant if Heaton out is confirmed?

          Might be keeper-less as I've already made my FT. Not sure Jaku> Pickford/Grant is worth a hit.

          With Shaqiri back they might actually earn a few.

            Hopefully, but I really hope Bony doesn't take them.

              Could've had a hat-trick if he didn't miss the open net šŸ™ Came in to the match with a bad flu. Got tackled hard early on, then landed awkwardly on his ankle, off to the sidelines on a cart. Comes back on, fights through it, scores a brace, & then gets stretchered off due to the same ankle problem.

              God damn legend, scores our last 5 goals as well. What a warrior.

            Any suggestions for who to include in scout picks this week?
            Are Aguero and Sanchez 'essential?'

              Not sure on the rules around team numbers or £s
              You could get walcott over Sanchez and do a lot with the money given the sanchez rotation. But having both maybe better still.
              Unless we hear of a rest i think Aguero is essential

                Fair enough, will have a think and decide soon enough.

            who to upgrade?

              • 11 Years

              Capoo is the first priority.

            2. Amateur Pundit Zan
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Capoue to walcott

            3. I am 42
              • 12 Years

              isn't Watford has some nice fixtures ahead?

              1. Amateur Pundit Zan
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Hard to argue that walcott, who also has good fixtures, is not a significant upgrade.

              2. COYS Down Under
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Watford have nice fixtures. Capoue unlikely to score though.

            Chile - Peru finished at 2-1. I never watch these games, glad I did šŸ™‚

              Best & more hard fought WCQ's by far, imo.

                It looks like ti certainly, no bad teams, anyone can qualify.

            Where do we think Antonio will be playing? Same position?

            I'm wondering if it's time to ship him.

            What are owners here doing?

              Sunderland and Stoke at home in next 4. Still most attempts for Mid last 3

                9 years, 8 months ago

                I'm considering using one of my FTs to move to Sanchez or Son.

                Would you hold?

            2. Kiwivillan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              I have Sanchez Antonio Son Firmino Capoue. No plans to change midfield next few weeks. Does that help?

              1. Geoff
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Swap Son for Sterling and that's my midfield. A little.

                Foster Jaku
                Baines Lovren Smith Holebas Amat
                Sanchez Antonio Sterling Firmino Capoue
                Aguero Lukaku Deeney

                Thing is I have 2FT. I'll ship Baines out, but sounds like you think I should maybe hold the second FT
