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.

    What gw's are we looking to bring in players who's team have a good run?
    I will be treble Chelsea next week (have to wait to get alonso)
    Gw16+17 Valencia
    Gw18 monreal
    Gw20 chadli + which ever wba def I can afford

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

      Don't think I'll go United defence until they're showed signs of improving at the back, irrelevant of fixtures. GW18 Bruntinho is going straight into my team

      1. Carlton P
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Why 18?his two fixtures before 20 arnt the best
        Valencia is home to boro and Sunderland, he's looked good since coming back too

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

          I thought GW18 was Hull, my bad. Yeah he's coming in GW20.
          Valencia is an explosion waiting to happen, could be a great pick. Didn't actually realise how good United next 8 are after Spurs

  2. FPL ElasticO
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    This is my current team after transfer in Costa for Kun....

    Heaton
    Walker / McAuley / Alonso / Gibson / Kingsley
    Firmino / Walcott / Hazard / Siggy / Fletcher
    Anichebe / Kane / Costa

    Definitely want to replace Walcott for Sanchez but short by 1.4m .... Who do I sacrifice for this move??? Need some suggestions quickly....

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

      second keeper please,ideally walker to 4.5

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

        This. Walker looks like the best move, although he's almost certainly going to get 2 clean sheets over the next 3

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

          Then that is not a wise move. 😉

          Although I am worried of Walker getting rotated over the next GWs.

      2. FPL ElasticO
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Second keeper Pickford..... Thought about this move but Spurs fixtures are too tempting for CS ..... really hard to ignore.....

        Who are the best 4.5 DEF to have????

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

          ideally a fit friend,but you already have gibson,a nailed on nathan ake looks great too,dont see ant other way to get in sanchez

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'd replace Siggy or Walker. Tough call though. Possibly more to lose from Siggy, but then the 6.0 mid replacements are considerably better than sub 4.7 defenders.

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

        Really? There's a few good 4.5s and I personally don't think there's anyone cheaper than Siggy I would like in my team

    3. box of horses
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Ask the question:

      Who are you more confident of getting points?

      Walker & Walcott?

      Or

      Some cheaper defender and Sanchez? What about Amat from Swansea. Could be risky and rotate with Kingsley but has played the last 3. And Swansea have a good run. Or a cheap Watford defender. Prodl or something.

  3. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    My team for GW 15

    Pickford
    Cedric McAuley Holebas
    Can Mane Hazard San(c)hex
    Austin Costa(VC) Kane

    Subs:Grant,De Roon,Holebas & Love

    Have used my FT got £2.1 ITB left over worth doing Williams > Alonso for a -4 hit?

    1. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Oops Subs:Williams*

    2. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sounds good to me

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers mate will make the change on Friday.

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

          Looks like Alonso will be going up tonight just so you know

          1. Lecky Legs FC
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Ah ok thanks for the heads up I haven't looked at FPL Price Predictor today will make the change shortly.

  4. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    captain sanchez or hazard???,usually wba the better defence ,but on current form ,stoke dont look like conceding more than 2 goals

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

      Sánchez more likely to be involved in the goals, though.

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard.

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

      I think stoke will be smashed to bits by arsenal.

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

      Throw Real Madrid in there as well

  5. Carlton P
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Would you rather
    A) Brunt l Gibson l Valencia
    B) Evans l chambers l monreal/6.1

    1. TorresMagic™

      a

    2. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B imo.....

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

      A by a very large distance,gibson could be a fit friend tough,will save you 0.3

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

        This. If Friend is fit he's a better and cheaper option

    4. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers guys, Ive currently got Evans and chambers but unsure whether to go for another pricey defender or upgrade Evans and chambers

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        E and C are fine. Get a quality defender like Alonso to strengthen the defence.

        1. Carlton P
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I meant a 6.1+ aswell as Alonso, will have him next week

  6. Paris Ganja Man
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    My defence currently:
    Alonso Amat Holebas (Pieters , McCauley)

    A.) Pieters > Lovren
    B.) Pieters > Cedric
    C.) Assume Amat will play and save FT
    D.) Look to offload Holebas instead

    1. Chris_White

  7. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on the team for GW 15 and future GW. 1FT and 0.6mITB. Obvious concerns are no chelsea which could hurt me badly.

    Heaton (Valdes)

    Williams, Lovren, VanDijk (Evans, Morgan)

    Sanchez, Firmino, KDB, Redmond (Gundogan)

    Kane, Austin, Wilson

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

      make way for alonso and hazard /costa,maybe even all 3,lots of red arrows on the cards without them

    2. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I might be tempted to move on KdB for Hazard. Wilson for Origi, Redmond for ????, Gundogan for a fodder all goo moves.

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        i like KDB as a sort of differential good fixtures in 3 of the next 4

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Will you ever play Morgan again?
      I'd try to lose him and probably Williams for Alonso and whoever down the track.
      8th attacker is too expensive.

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Morgan to barragan
        Williams to Alonso

        For a hit

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Would make your defence a lot better. Still need to deal with no Chelsea attack where the big points may arrive.

          1. Bruno Bruno!!
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            which would you say is more important to deal with immediately the attack or the defence

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Attack. You probably wouldn't play Barragan.

  8. Pumpkinhead
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Best 6.0 and under mid?

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

      philips,can,snod

  9. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Guys gtg.....

    Pickford
    Coleman Holebas
    Sanchez Walcott Hazard Fer Zaha
    Austin Costa Kane

    Foster|Amat|Pieters|McAuley
    1.9 MN itb.....

    1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Armband on Sanchez right now and playing AOA as you can see.....right decision?

    2. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      i would bench zaha,southampton at home will be hard to crack

      1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        zaha is up against a porous hull backline if i am not wrong...that's why i brought him for the week and playing AOA.....

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

          oh sorry,messed the fixtures up

  10. Going Home
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Current team after Stones - Cedric this week is:

    Boruc | Karius
    Soares | Koscielny | Williams | Pieters | McAuley
    Sanchez | Hazard | Eriksen | Allen | Siggy
    Defoe | Costa | Deeney

    0.4 ITB and 1 FT

    Thinking about the following:

    A) Deeney - Austin, with Can and Jones/Valencia in for Allen and Williams next week
    B) Williams - Amat, with Carroll and Antonio in for Allen and Deeney next week

    Either of those better or have I missed something else? Can't see myself bringing Kane in as Hazard, Sanchez and Costa are a must in my book

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

      Wouldn't get Can in as it's just going to be even more benching problems for you. Austin looks the best move although I wouldn't transfer him in myself (if I didn't already have him). Iheanacho maybe?

  11. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Good news for Clyne/Lovren and Austin owners:

    Matip and Tadic look set for returns this weekend

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

      We'll still concede. Carroll in front of the Kop

  12. ArsenalBankai
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What is the outlook on Siggy? Is he a season keeper or are we just riding his bandwagon? How are his stats?

    1. A good option, but nowhere near essential IMO

  13. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Do you think Pochettino will start Kane today?!

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

      Not sure if Tottenham cares about Europa?

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

        My prediction would be No.

    2. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, any trophy is good for Spurs and winning the Europa may be the best way back into the CL

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nah, reserve team likely.

    4. On the bench in case needed for a last 10-minute onslaught I reckon

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

      Yes, keep him sharp

    6. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Looks like a great chance to give the young guns a run out i think his priority has to be the Premier League now he cant a

  14. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What price do we think Alonso will peak at? If/when he gets into the overall dream team then the casuals will start mass transferring him in. I reckon 7.5

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

      6.6-6.8

    2. Bleach †
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      7.5 is way too much lol 😀 😀

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

      Lol he wont get to 7.5

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

      6.7

  15. Depleda
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Choosing between getting Costa or Hazard in is just too hard!

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

      hazard and kane + ibra

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Would you ever captain either?

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

        Thanks. I have Kane so thinking Defoe and Hazard as can't afford hazard and ibra. I would happily captain either Costa or Hazard if I had one yes. Im tempted by Hazard this week but Sanchez seems to be the best bet

  16. WhySoSerious?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    a) Francis to Alonso for a hit
    b) Holebas to Alonso for a hit
    c) Play Francis
    d) Play Holebas

    Also, what to do with Gundogan? Is there any good 6.5 and below replacement? Not anything worth a hit in this week right? Have Capoue on the bench.

    Thanks!

  17. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you bench out of

    A) Phillips (che)
    B) Redmond (MID)
    C) Anichebe (swa)

    My default has been to go 3-5-2 and bench Anichebe, but he's playing Swansea. Phillips in great form but against the best defence in the league. Also I fancy Southampton to score at home vs. Boro.

  18. Philip Jones's Diary
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bench issue for this week, do I:

    Diomande vs Crystal Palace at Home
    Chadli vs Chelsea Away

    Any help is appreciated!

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

      chadli wont start anyway

    2. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I would go for Diomande(plays upfront and up against Crystal palace who only know to attack,may get an odd assist or goal..)..but thats me and my thought!!

      1. Philip Jones's Diary
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks for the help there guys, 100% the right decision in the end.

  19. King H
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Rondon to Nacho for a -4 ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Swansea next week for Rondon.

  20. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    front 8
    hazard firm walcott siggy redmond
    kane ibra defoe
    who to bench,or play AOA????

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

      Siggy / Redmond

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

    Pretty bleak but play:

    A) Amat
    B) Holebas

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

      B

    2. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Same dilemma....playing Holebas myself(may get an odd assist if lucky!!)

    3. Minion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Holebas. As an Everton fan he has every chance of a clean sheet. We've forgotten how to attack and no Bolasie is going to make that even worse.

    4. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Holebas for sure. I don't have such luxury and stuck with Amat.

  22. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is it insane to consider Pedro and Cech put for Hazard and Heaton for -8?

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

      Yes

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves

      I think you know what is coming, but it needs more Sanchez

      1. Squires FC
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I need a differential over my ml rivals so gonna go with ozil

  26. Dele
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    So this weekend I have Kane & Ibra starting up front...

    I already have Alonso and Hazard in my team.

    Costa vs Ibra their fixtures are pretty even over the run up to christmas! Do I swap Ibra for Costa? for a -4 hit.

    My only worry is a clash Kane vs Ibra this weekend and I really cant see them both scoring in the same game.

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

      Not for a hit this week. It will almost certainly result in him getting a yellow card and you having to take another hit.*

        This is my exact predicament! It would be typical FF to get him in and then he gets booked.

        But surely there is no way Costa can survive until the new year without picking up that dreaded yellow card?

        Or is there..

    OUT: Aguero and Gundogan OR Aguero and Matic? (if Matic, can't afford Austin below)
    IN: Austin OR Iheanacho, Sanchez OR Hazard?

    Any help greatly appreciated!

        Cheers mate - appreciate the help. Matic/Gundog such a toughie. I've a lot of injuries atm, so need to make sure I've got 11. Still can't decide.

    2. Ha.

      Aguero and Gundogan should go,keep Matic if you have him,he is getting those unlikely assists regularly..
      Bring in Iheanacho as he can be a great short term buy + Sanchez(more explosive)

        Thanks buddy. I think this is probably the best bet. Matic seems a certain starter when fit, and should be back this weekend. Gundog is a 50/50 starter with Yaya back in the frame. Iheanacho should bag himself a few goals as the focal point of their attack, and citeh have some nice games coming up. Don't really want to be left without a citeh attacker.

            All done! Sanchez captain. Fingers are crossed.
