Our final Tuesday evening article delves into members’ data, as we take our usual scan of some of the standout numbers over the weekend’s ten fixtures.

We compare Gabriel Jesus’ displays with those of Sergio Aguero at Manchester City and check up on the recent performances of Swansea City’s and Manchester United’s in-demand midfielders.

The impact of Philippe Coutinho since returning from injury comes under the spotlight, while we also analyse the frontmen at Everton and Crystal Palace after a weekend of wildly contrasting fortunes.

    Play Pickford(SOU) or Heaton(CHE)?

    Pickford may be back, either way he will play from start or not at all.

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      TOPS! I'm so important right now.

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Exactly.

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          So who would you start?

          1. michudagawd
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            The player that will play.

            1. ILOVEBAPS
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Pickford then for me. With Heaton to come on if he's benched.

          2. Netley Lucas
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Think SUN/Jordan/Man may clean, not to sure about The Heat, or the SOT CHE may bring to the game?

    2. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'm going for Pickford (but haven't thought an awful lot about it to be honest, just feel like a no brainer)

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers. I just saw his flag changed colour so thought I'd ask the question.

    3. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      With mannone in form,pick won't be rushed in

    4. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Mannone will start one last time after two clean sheets, so probably won't be a decision that comes into play. That said, Pickford in the slight chance he gets the nod. I think Pickford will come back in after Mannone concedes in a match.

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        You would have to think that would be the case. Way too harsh on Mannone to be dumped after CS.

    5. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, start Pickford and Heaton can be the auto sub if necessary.

    6. BRFC1883
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'd go Pickers

  2. Netley Lucas
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Sess, I reckoned you had the best side last week, how's it looking this week?

  3. GXNG
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    A) Baines+Snodgrass
    B) 4.5 def+ Barkley

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      B. Hull defender? Barkley a good differential

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Only this if you have Coleman already.

        1. GXNG
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Have Holgate...

    2. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A easy

    3. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A without a doubt.

    4. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A

  4. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    5th defender bench fodder to start only GW 28???
    A)Mawson
    B)robertson
    C) Maguire
    D)FM(not sure about 4.7 for 5th def

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Many on here thing Maguire, for his "shots", I think Robertson is the class act here, some of his balls have been... right up there lol, see the stat's or watch the games?

      1. Speédy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Havent seen hull play much ,more on the stats with them

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Well it's funny, Harry doesn't look much of a scorer (this site will tell you he is) but Robbo does look like a quality assist, lol

    2. Athletic Bilbo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Robertson is indeed the class act. Maguire is thrills and spills, good fun to have on your team I guess

  5. ILOVEBAPS
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Any brave souls? Alonso Captain??

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      6 points fixed.
      6*2 = 12 you definitely are getting

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Despite his attacking potential, he still won't score in most games so I'd feel uneasy captaining someone just for a clean sheet.

    3. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Ibra Alexis siggy before Alonso for me

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        It is certainly a risk but I've seen worse.
        Looking at San(c)hez to bounce back this week.

  6. SKENG
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Anything worth a hit here? Did Lallana > Siggy with my FT, 2.4m left in bank.

    Heaton
    Alonso Coleman McAuley
    Alli Eriksen Siggy Phillips
    Zlatan Kane Lukaku

    Jaku Fletcher Amat Holebas

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nah G2G.

    2. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'd rather have done Phillips to Siggy but everything looks good, except Phillips of course. 😛

      1. SKENG
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Surely Phillips looks the better option over the next weeks considering fixtures and no blanks

        1. fedolefan
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Only on paper. I hope he does well too though as an owner. Liverpool have Leicester next too.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Your team is very reliant on spurs scoring, it xould be worth looking at Kane > Costa or Eriksen > Hazard to get some chelsea attack, particularly as Spurs add Thurs night europa league games into their schedule, but not worth a hit imo.

  7. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Captain Defoe.

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not for me but a decent option. Will be playing a SOU defence without VVD (or Fonte). Is having a stellar season too.
      I'm banking on Alexis to show up Hull.

    2. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He's my vice captain right now behind boring Lexi.

    3. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      quite a differential but why not against a leaky Soton defence with their minds somewhere else...surely nobody wants to get injured before a final

    4. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Southampton will feel vvd absence,could be a great punt

    5. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Really good shout. He is a bit of a differential in my ML and i have the C on him now. Sunderland not too bad at home and Southampton have been conceding a fair bit.
      Not sure if i want to push it incase Sanchez or Ibra haul. Could be a good week for a punt. I don't have Lukaku so need to peg back some points.

  8. Mini Mane Mo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Who would you choose?

    A. Valencia
    B. Coleman

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      B
      No blanks

    2. GXNG
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Valencia 2 blanks so B

    3. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Goalman

  9. ILOVEBAPS
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Save or use my 1FT? 0.3itb

    Pickford
    Coleman Alonso Baines
    Eriksen San(c)hez Alli Phillips
    Ibra Defoe Lukaku

    Heaton McAuley Capoue Kingsley

    Obviously I want Siggy but cannot decide if AlliSen > is wise.

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Save as Alli's got two home matches after this week... eventually you'll get Siggy in on GW27

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Will get Siggy if not this GW then 27 for sure.

      2. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        This. I don't get the rush to bring in Siggy. Alli is a great option for the next two weeks. By GW27 you'll know if Siggy still makes sense or Snod makes more sense or Antonio makes more sense, etc.

        I'll take Alli with liv and STK over Siggy with LEI and che.

    2. liiusions
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I did Alli->Siggy fwiw. Probably the midfield option for the next 4 GWs

  10. liiusions
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    If Arsenal were playing on Sunday this captain decision would be so much easier ...

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Why? Because you don't like having your captain play first, or because you'd worry about Sanchez resting for Bayern?

      1. liiusions
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Nothing worse than your captain blanking in the early game. Saying that the only time I've done it in the past year or so was Sanchez and he got a brace vs Sunderland

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Same, only time I've had my captain in the early match was Costa vs. Leicester, but he got me 18 points so it wasn't bad at all.

  11. Ben the Mee
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else worried about Wenger cutting San(c)hez's minutes to save him for the mid-week match against Bayern.

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      only if they are winning comfortably...Ars's top 4 position is under threat

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not really, dumping to save 0.5 after HUL.

    3. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Only if Wenger wants another bench frustration show

    4. liiusions
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Siggy(c) won't get subbed off

    5. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I don't think so, for two reasons - first, that Wenger needs to keep Alexis happy and Alexis is only happy when he's playing, and second, there are three full days of rest and recovery in between. Maybe he comes off in the last 10 minutes if the match is already won, but no more than that.

  12. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Rose at 6.0m again, hopefully 5.9m in time for GW 26. I love my 5 point something defenders. When is the cutoff for that 2 match ban for 10 yellows?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Would love it if he got to 5.8... Would be tempted to start him instead of Phillips & go 4-4-2

  13. FPLEL
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I want to get rid of Stanislas but I'm not sure how. Help me please!

    A) Stan -> Phillips
    B) Stan -> Snod
    C) Stan + Ibra -> Siggy + Costa -4
    D) Save FT and play Fletcher

    Thanks.

      B but I think Stan will play

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years

        Cheers, what makes you think that?

        1. liiusions
          • 11 Years

          They got battered playing a new system without him

      b

    5. Athletic Bilbo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Depends how confident you are with the rest of your team. Stan will get some minutes, more threat. D for me. But definitely not C, no no no not this week

  14. Pigeon
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Not sure what to do after gw28 have 0itb

    Heaton
    Brunt Baines Chambers
    Sanchez Eriksen Siggy Phillips
    Kaku Ibra Costa

    Jaku Yoshi De Roon Am at

    Need to get rid of Chambers or Yoshi so should I try and get a United or Chelsea defender and downgrade Sanchez or downgrade one of my forwards?

  15. Netley Lucas
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    3-4 3 back in vogue?

    1. FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Strikers are really stepping up. Even the cheapies.

    2. Ryan

      Has been for some time.

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        So we all lose Alli or Erik then... nah, not for me.

    3. liiusions
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Quite happy with 352. For me it's essentially Hazard vs Costa/Kane and I'd rather have Hazard atm

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Nice side, really must link mine up hic

  16. ASAP Rocky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    1 FT. 0 ITB.

    Thinking Lallana > Siggy + Llorente > 6.0 forward? Look ok?

    Grant - Mannone

    Alonso - Walker - McAuley - Baines - Love

    Lallana - Sanchez - Phillips - Alli - Davies

    Ibra - Kane - Llorente

  17. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Start one of Phillips(whu) Allen(CPL) Pieters (CPL)
    Ive been starting Phillips of late.. however, got a feeling Stoke is gonna do well this week though and Allen has looked a bit more threatening of late

    1. Athletic Bilbo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Who is in the grav? If stoke do well then Pieters may be the man rather than Joe

  18. machickenz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Which teams have blanks coming up? So like what players should I avoid trying to get or get rid of if I have?

    Heaton, Randolph
    Baines, Alonso, PVA, Pieters, Love
    Alli, Hazard, Siggy, Stanislas, Phillips
    Ibrahimovic, Lukaku, Jesus

  19. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Heaton, Pickford.
    Alonso, Walker, Funes Mori, Brunt, Amat.
    Eriksen, Sanchez, Snodgrass, Phillips, Whelan.
    Ibra, Kane, Lukaku.
    1ft, 0.3m.

    1. Eriksen to Siggy.
    2. Save.
    3. Other?

    1. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Save. Nice team.

  20. Butters_lfc9
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Have 2FT any ideas as to how should I use them? If I move out Giroud> Lukaku I would have to downgrade Lovren to a 4.1 priced player. With this in mind should I look at swapping Giroud for Defoe instead so I can keep 2 transfers for GW26 when there will be more info about GW28

    Foster
    Alonso-Lovren- Holebas
    Sanchez-Alli-Stanislas-Phillips
    Kane-Ibra- Giroud

    Pickford-Capoue-Amat-Pieters
    0.4ITB

    1. jon.terry.tfh
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Why would you want to keep Lovren? Liverpool's defence is in shambles. Stanislas is being dropped too so I would prioritize in getting rid of both of them.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Use Stan & Giroud to get Phillips & Big Andy Carroll in?

  21. smix
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Eriksen to Siggy. Good move ? Are there any FA cup games etc I need to wait for before pulling the trigger ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      FA Cup is the weekend after.

  22. smix
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Also is Snodgrass a definite starter ?is he on set-pieces at west ham?

    1. KUN+10
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I have only seen him taking some corners.

    2. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Snodgrass should take a large majority, if not all of West Ham's free-kicks and corners but penalties are in dispute between him and Noble.

  23. Butters_lfc9
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Move Giroud and Lovren to
    A)Lukaku and Ake, hoping Ake gets gametime as Chelsea get closer to the league title
    B)Defoe and Coleman

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      B, unless you have Ake as 5th def... He isn't going to get many games

      1. Butters_lfc9
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Defence is atm, Alonso, Pieters,Holebas, Amat

  24. Joggers Nipple
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Bored as I have done my FT already. Next week I will sell Sanchez, probably 2 blanks. The other choice was Ibra but he has better fixtures around the blanks. So,

    Sanchez to-

    A. Siggy (Chelsea away)
    B. Barkley (not sold)
    C Erik/Pedro (seems wrong to get in players who might miss 28)
    D. Antonio (urgh, triple West Ham)
    E. Someone else

      No point bothering until 2nd leg Europa games are played tbh. If I don't take a hit this week, I probably won't make a transfer until just before GW26 deadline.

        True. I will wait and see.

    Snodgrass or Antonio a better pick?

      Doesn't seem to be much between them. At least based on the one full match we have for Snod he played awfully advanced. So I'm tempted to go with the cheaper of the two.

    Next 4x GWs set to be very interesting with all the FA Cup games, LC final, Europa League & Champs League kicking back in plus 2 blanks for some big players, sanchez, ibra, jesus etc... All you can really hope for is to get a set of 4x green arrows as the casuals get hit with the blanks & suddenly find themselves only being able to field 5 or 6 players & potentially take lots of hits to resolve, screwing up teams even further for the run in with no planning for double GWs.

      Kind of, yeah?

    Is there an argument for goinf Wally (HUL) over Siggy (LEI) for one week only? Wildcarding next week.

    1. Jinswick

      Or even Mhikitarian (WAT)

      Ah so you are going with the early wc then to get through the blanks and using free transfers to prepare for doubles?

      Also still prefer siggy. Hull lot more sounds at the back than Leicester right now

        I'm not against wildcarding early - I wildcarded 4 weeks ago and have gone up 260,000 places since..But now would it not be sensible to wildcard after the blanks? Then you could load up on GW 26 and 28 players and wildcard in 29 or 30 in readiness for the DGWs. It seems odd to do it now.

      Or why not a city mid? Sterling or sane vs Bournemouth would be juicy.

      You surely have Jesus right if you're asking about 1 week punts?

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Can't afford him without a hit, but looking at doing Benteke -> Jesus (-4) also. Worth it?

        1. fedolefan

          Only if captaining.
