Our usual post-Gameweek delve into the data arrives, as we assess some of the most impressive performers over the previous round of fixtures.

Sunderland, West Brom and Tottenham Hotspur all supply us with a pair of standout options, while we check in on City’s key creator and a Southampton differential as the fixtures turn in the Saints’ favour.

          I'm generally quite helpful. Just thought you'd get the South Park reference 🙂

            Ah haven't caught up on the joys of South Park for a while. My bad

    Im gonna regret not getting alonso arent i?

    1. fiveyears

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Biggest problem for me right now is lack of Chelsea defence. Getting Spurs for next week, and want Arsenal defence over Christmas - may sacrifice Mustafi for him.

      1. KingOllie
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Iv got vertonghen but i deffo want him for the next 3.
        By then alonso wil lbe too expensive.
        Ah well i guess

        1. davies
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Selling or benching if he gets booked this weekend?

          1. KingOllie
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Hes on 4 yellows? Ahhh fak.

            Id get alonso then 🙁

        2. fiveyears
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Can't have em all! I think 2 from Arsenal/Chelsea/Spurs is fine.

          Zouma returning is the dream.

    2. preseasonblues
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm fearing the same. I've shifted all my money into my midfield and attack leaving me with my most expensive member of my defence around 4.7m. Toying with dropping Eriksen/ Firminho as a makeweight next week.

    3. elmes85
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't worry too much, yeah he is scoring consistently but his price reflects that. I have no Chelsea cover in defence but it's not really caused me any headaches. If you have money in the bank then by all means upgrade but don't tinker your team at the expense of hits.

  5. davies
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Already on -4... Worth it to put me on -12?

    Firmino/Arnautovic > KDB/Can

    Leaves me enough to downgrade Capoue, and bring in Alonso next week...

    1. MTPockets
        9 years, 4 months ago

        No

      • Simon Says...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        No way.

      • Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        You have not even read the article.Yet you are contemplating a further 8pt hit. Don't do it.

        1. davies
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Eye test, KDB is some player

          1. Belalugozi78
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Firmino plays poor West Ham defense though.. do what you want, but nobody here agrees with those moves.

            1. davies
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Aye I know, cheers everyone.

              Just sick of my team.

      • Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        No. Just buy Alonso if you want him

        1. davies
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Can't afford

      • Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years

        KDB madness all over the place

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Defoe & Allen > Origi & Hazard?

      1. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Not bad... but how many games Origi will play? He will be in danger when Sturrigde comes back

      2. Kroosin'
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Don't sell Defoe. He is getting you points.

    3. St. Joseph
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Currently got lucky with Alexis(c) in the last 2 GW.

      Will he make it 3 in a row??
      Starting to doubt him delivering this time.

      1. fiveyears
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Think I have to trust him given the last two weeks

      2. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        You start to doubt after 2 nice performace in a row? So if he blanked this two games you would captain him now?

        1. St. Joseph
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Just have a feeling.

          No one is delivering more than 2 streak double digit haul.
          🙁

          1. Lone Wolf FPL
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            no one but Alexis

            1. St. Joseph
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              How is he doing last night in CL?
              Looked sharp?

              1. Lone Wolf FPL
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                I haven't watched it just know that he had an assist

          2. DantheManinaPan
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Mathematically, you're looking at this the wrong way. Yes, the chance of him getting double digits three weeks in a row is very small, if you look at it from the start of the three weeks.

            He already has done it twice though, so now he only has to get one double digit score to complete the three in a row.

            If anything, already having two in a row only increases his chances of getting a third.

      Beat this for sheer dumb luck.

      Lad in my uni league decides, apropos of nothing, that WILFRIED BONY is in for a haul this past weekend, so much so that he uses his Triple Captain chip on him.

      Bony doesn't play a minute, so is unable to collect his expected 6pt haul and the TC chip passes over to his vice-captain. Sanchez.

      115pt GW score.

      1. KingOllie
        • 10 Years

        Lmao. I have people like this in my mini league every week. I used to get mad, but i know il finish above them by end of the season regardless

        That's great!

        Not quite as good, but the official FPL twitter account said that 4 people had Stekelenburg as vice captain when their tripled captain didn't play in the week that he saved 2 pens, earning them each 51 points!

        Ahh, looking forward to the carnage on here when Firmino scores a brace after people have sacrificed him to get Sánchez, who only ends up with an assist.

          Got both. And Haz.

          How do you do the shades thing?

      5. Viprin
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Mane (C) set for a haul

      6. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Any Sanchez owners NOT (c) him?

        2. preseasonblues
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Think I'm going Hazard

        3. n-doggg
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Hazard

        4. wander
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I have him but will be going for mane.

          West Ham are a mess at the moment

        5. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          too risky imo. he had very nice last 2 GW so there is no point of NO (c) him. Hazard was really close to blank vs City. If Sanchez continues his scoring you could see some red arrows there

          1. Hurricane Gilbert
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Just because he had 2 awesome gws does not mean he will continue to get hauls though. He looked a bit tired in midweel according to some here.
            Besides you can't compare City away with West Brom at home. Mike Dean referee, Chelsea due a pen ;-(

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Sanchez or HAZ tbc yeah.

      7. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Not sure if it's worth getting Cedric for a hit. Means I'll have to play Amat (SUN), Evans (SWA), Amat (wba) etc etc if I don't. Isn't too bad but I still don't fancy a cleanie there ... 😕

        1. Z
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I took a hit for Holebas>Cedric, money only allowed me to get him on Sunday. He looks to be a very good long-term prospect.

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yup, for sure. Cheers.

        2. BB-8
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I was considering Cedric but now I think Brunt might be even better. Check out the fixtures after gw 18

          As if one Amat wasn't bad enough... 😉

          1. Jazz!
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I meant this week, next week, then the week after. Should've made that clear 🙂

        4. Hurricane Gilbert
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Soton defence not as solid on the road, and full back rotation likely. Don't understand the Cedric hype.

        5. tisza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          way Swansea are defending Amat could score a -4 on his own.
          Plus the way Bradley is rotating, Amat not guaranteed starts.
          Someone's going to take the fall for shipping 10 goals last 2 games.

        AOA the right call?

        Heaton
        Alonso / Rose
        Sanchez (VC) / Hazard / Mane (C) / Siggy / Can
        Costa / Kane / Anichebe

        Pickford / Evans / Pieters / Amat

          It isn't a bad week to do it tbh but are there any better ones coming up?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years

            Can't see any on the horizon tbh

        2. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          now it's the best time as Cou is out and Can is on form. yes, do it but I keep my AOA for time when I'll have problem with my defenders.

          1. Pocky
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Likewise Mlexer Elblag, I don't find it to be that great a chip for getting extra points, however, it is handy to have in the back pocket as and when a defensive crisis hits.

            1. TokyoRisingSun
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Fair enough. I consider Evans vs Chelsea and Pieters vs Arsenal to be a bit of a mini-defensive crisis 😉

              1. DF
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                Correct. Good use of aoa

        A) bring in alonso for holebas and play Anichebe and alonso?
        B) bring in sig for Allen and play sig and holebas?

        Rest of my starting eleven will be pickford,
        Kosc, lovren,------
        Hazard, Eriksen, sanchez, firminio, ----
        Kane, Austin

        Anichebe on bench/starting.

          personally i think you should get alosno and then next week dump kosc for another chelsea defender.

          IMO the chelsea double up at the back is going to deliver 12 points or more every 2nd week sometimes more often

            Yes to this, been putting it off because I hope that Zouma will somehow become a regular at the back.....

              could be a while before hes back. If he starts to get his place back 1 simple transfer will do it and you will have the cash.

              I still think you need attacking cover for Chelsea and would lean to costa.

                Totally agree, on Costa and Alonso for now. Will bring in Azpi for Walker if the Zouma scenario doesn't materialize soon.

          Start Holebas over Amat.

          Everton have not been scoring goals and Bolasie is now injured.

        3. Sotamendi84

          Thanks. Do you reckon holebas over diomande perhaps?

          Joe Allen probably the closest so far

        No Michu, Ramsey, or Mahrez to be had.

        Cash truly is King this season.

            6.5, I think.

          Probably not if you're the only person that has him...

        Pedro and Fuchs (worst transfer I've made all season) out for Alonso and a differential midfielder? 8.8m to work with but this comes at a -8 hit :S

        Choose:

        A) Azpi (Baps Magnet)

        B) Cahill (Goal Threat)

        I have Alonso this is for Double up on their defence.

        Appreciate your thoughts!

        1. Ibracadabra
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          *Own goal threat?

          Kidding... A) Azpi but I wouldn't spend 12m on CHE back four, think Alonso is enough.

          1. Ibracadabra
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

          Neither.

        4. HuttonDressedasLahm

          Luiz for the "fun" aspect

        5. Sotamendi84

          Luiz for the free kicks

          I was thinking similar myself, I think Cahill might have some rotation threat, so Azpi edges it for me.

        • 10 Years

        Stoke haven't conceded more than 1 goal in a game since GW 5, surely reduces Sanchez's captain appeal?

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Not by much unless Butland does a Lazarus 😉

          Spot on. The points chasing on here over the last few weeks has been insane. It was Siggy last week (who I warned had a crap fixture and that people should look to Eriksen) and Aguero aside, it's Kane and Sanchez this week at the expense of players with cracking fixtures: Clyne, Firmino, Mane, Austin, Siggy, Lukaku to name a few.

          Give it 2 weeks and we'll be screaming out for gunners and hammers: Ozil/Iwobi/Giroud/Bellerin/Koscielny and Payet/Antonio/Carroll.

        Afternoon all!
        Feel like I need Siggy, and need to sell Deeney asap!
        In my shoes what would you do

        Pickford
        Alonso Smith Holebas
        Sanchez Hazard Firmino Milner
        Deeney Austin Kane

        Grant Allen Rose McAuley

        1. Kane to Costa for 1 week
        2. Allen to Fer (bench Deeney/Milner)
        3. Allen and Deeney to Siggy and Iheanacho (-4)
        4. Hold and save?
        5. Something else

        1. Your Man With The Hair

        Is it worth loosing Firmino for Costa & Sanchez ??? & may get Can as a LIV coverage...........

        What do you guys think???Need some quick help

        1. PurpleCobras
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          What striker would you be ditching? Sanchez and Costa are hard to ignore right now.

          I don't like the idea of Can as pool coverage.

          1. FPL ElasticO

        0.8m in the bank. Drop any of these defenders for a -4?

        A. Holebas
        B. Friend
        C. Wilson

        1. Your Man With The Hair
          • 15 Years

          Not for a hit, no.

        2. Speédy
          • 9 Years

          i would get defoe for a -4 if in the price limit

            • 15 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Don't think you can transfer Defoe for a defender
