Our usual post-Gameweek members article arrives this evening, as we cast an analytical eye over some of the standout performers over Saturday and Sunday’s ten fixtures.

Spurs’ red-hot frontman chalks up some outrageous statistics on his way to a hat-trick against the Baggies, while Dusan Tadic is more sinner than Saint after spurning chances aplenty. Elsewhere, Robert Snodgrass shows the benefits of a central role under his new manager and we check in on the impressive figures being produced by Arsenal’s overlooked wide man.

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

    Oh Benteke...such an enigma. Although to be fair, it is only Bolton. But he's doing his best for me not to oust him.

        Yep....his goals for Belgium against minnows started his last flurry.

      Doesn't matter who the opposition was, strikers feed off confidence.

    Allen 5.1 >Davies 4.3 to free up cash? Bench back up anyway....

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      I'd go Carroll

    2. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Do it when you actually know what to do with that extra cash.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Do you have 2 FTs?

    4. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Don't be surprised if the lad nails a spot. Was man of the match last game. Ran the show.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 17 days ago

        He was brilliant. Hopefully becomes a star for the Ev.

        1. Clump
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 17 days ago

          Can't see him dropped on that form Berbs.
          Serious potential bargain at his price.

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 17 days ago

            Another goal and I think I'm jumping on that ship.

    5. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years

      1 FT but have no other issues if Costa and Giroud both play....gives me cash for Costa>Kane if I need to next week

        You could just do it next week if prices don't change?

    • 10 Years

    I really hope Sunderland go down this season. Most miserable team in the history of the PL. Staying up by the skin of their teeth every year

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Load up on them towards the end of the season, simple.

    When I go to someone's profile and click the link to see their FPL team, it always takes me to my own team... any ideas?

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years

      Your team is generic

      1. Morgs
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 17 days ago

        +1

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      FPL site issues. Do it a 2nd time.

    Anyone considering Giroud > Benteke if declared out?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      I just bought Baines so that seems foolish

    2. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      People are selling Benteke...

  9. Hooky

    Lincoln goal yes! Well deserved

    Full Time - Crystal Palace 2-1 Bolton

    Palace now face Manchester City in the fourth round

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      They'll knock us out

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 17 days ago

        I think we might just scrape through in this one

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 17 days ago

          The fact that we would probably have to scrape by Crystal Palace speaks volumes about the state of this team...

      2. FPL Puppy

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Thinking of getting Benteke, he looks really good tonight

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Found his level

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      I'd look half decent against Bolton.

    3. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Ibra -> Benteke (-8)?

  13. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Which Everton player would you rather transfer in for the coming fixtures, Baines, Coleman or Lukaku?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Baines or Lukaku

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Baines

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      You could make a case for getting all 3. Got Baines yesterday but think I should've got Coleman.

      1. Jimmy Boy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 17 days ago

        Swaying towards Baines simply because of pens

  14. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Would love some thoughts on this team lads, exercising team value as much as I can:
    Heaton (Robinson)
    Alonso Baines Brunt (Williams, Chambers)
    Sanchez(c) Alli Lallana Phillips (De Roon)
    Ibrahimovic Kane(vc) Lukaku
    0.2 ITB

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Wow.

      You are good to go.

      That front three *drooling*

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 17 days ago

        Cheers mate! My TV is much higher than everyone else in my ML, hope that helps me catch-up! 100 pt gap.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Good to go. Given you're nearly maxed out in money I'd either try to save a FT for two later on or use your next transfer to downgrade Williams to Love for example. Would give you enough for something like Lallana to Coutinho

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 17 days ago

        Will do. Considering Pedro too!

    3. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Overkill defence though

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 17 days ago

        Can't see why I'd need to upgrade elsewhere with a cheaper defense

  15. Transfer Window
    • 12 Years

    Is Giroud available to play this weekend ?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      He should be fit

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Latest is not ankle injury but toe injury which kept him out for 4 weeks in past. Wish I hadn't done Ake>Baines yesterday as now can't afford Giroud>Lukaku

    3. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      No confirmation, still being assessed. But looks promising.

    4. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Well at least we can be certain he will do all he can to get back on the pitch having fought his way back in the starting line up, he won't want to lose that now ! I just hope this injury doesn't lead to missing games and end his run of form. Trying to remain hopeful that it's minor and they haven't ruled him out yet which is promising I guess.

          For sure, strong defence.
          Kante isn't helping.

    For any of you seeking enjoyment of the lighter side of FPL, an well designed post on the previous page jogged my memory of Applebonker’s The Art of Team Selection post from Dec 2015. It is a 10 on the unintentional comedy scale.

    2 FTs and looking to free up some cash by downgrading 5th mid (Capoue). Which is the best option?

    A) De Roon (4.4)
    B) Tom Carroll (4.2) - just moved to Swansea
    C) Tom Davies (4.3)

    1. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      A. Absolutely nailed.

    2. JaydenLFC87
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      De Roon is the new Capoue

  20. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Hello guys, please share your thoughts on this. 1 FT and exact money in the bank to do Giroud to Lukaku before Lukaku price rise. Would you pull the trigger now or just wait and hope Giroud is fit for the weekend.

    1. Morgs
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Yeh I'd say do it. Lukaku carries no rotation risk and doesn't have a potential injury hanging over him

    2. JaydenLFC87
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Go for it

  21. JaydenLFC87

    Does anyone know if Ake will get any gametime for Chelsea??

    Current team for this week below -

    Grant

    Phillips Sanchez(C) Alli Lallana
    Aguero Costa Zlatan

    Jaku De Roon Chambers Amat

    Any Suggestions? Thinking Amat to Baines?

    Courtois | Pickford
    Jones | Holebas | McAuley | Pieters | Amat
    Hazard | Sanchez | Alli | Phillips | de Roon
    Ibra | Giroud I Carroll

    1. FPL Puppy

      Carroll -> Lukaku?

        Yes

      Is Caroll to Lukaku possible?

    Hi all. Some thoughts on the following please. My team is :

    Foster - Pickford
    McAuley - prodyl - pieters - Alonso - browning
    De room - hazard - Sanchez - Phillips - pogba
    Ibra - aguero - Barnes

    I have 0.5 itb and 2ft
    My original plan was to do hazard and prodyl/pieters - > coutinho and baines. But cannot believe I'm about to say this but I'm a bit concerned about Aguero with pep.
    Has also might shine with Costa not there and I don't have enough funds to just get baines.
    Any suggestions?

    1. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      I shipped Kun for Kane and used cash freed up to partially fund a move for Baines. I didn't like doing it but I can't deny how much cash he absorbs for what has been pretty average production this season so far. I hope that changes just cause I like watching him when he's on point but Pep messed that team up pretty well this season, real shame. Anyway, I also have Haz and not really looking to ship him so didn't consider the alternative move you suggested.

        Benteke bound to score this week now.

          There has to be a lesson from Conte.

        More want Everton def cover and with pens he looks like the 5.5 option over Coleman...hence my Williams thoughts for the lesser £'s
