Our usual post-Gameweek delve into the Opta members’ data arrives for your Tuesday night perusal now, as we cast an eye over a pair of Belgian frontmen with contrasting recent fortunes and highlight a couple of in-form wingers with Gameweek 28 fixtures to follow.

Elsewhere, we check up on a couple of Spurs attackers in light of the return to 3-4-2-1 before assessing the recent showings of West Brom’s six-goal centre-back.

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

      Are you going to talk about Sterling vs Aguero Jonty?

        You can leave questions in the hot topic and they might cover it.

    Is Aguero or Sterling raising tonight? Or will it be fine to wait and see if City gets a DGW? Thanks.

      1. Club de Wahlina

    Let's put a bet on how many times Jonty says 'hokey kokey' tonight

    I'm betting 6

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends if he sees this post or not... I'm going to say 2

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Trump calls it the Hokey Pokey

  5. hackneylad
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Jaku Pickford
    Alonso Coleman McAuley Maguire Mawson
    Eriksen Mane Siggy Phillips T. Carroll
    Kane Ibra Lukaku

    Won't bore everyone with all the headache-inducing alternative permutations... but I have exact money for Phillips to Sterling tonight (before Phillips drops). It's simple. It's clean. And I'm really tempted.

    That would save me a load of hits (which would come with any other moves) / hokey-cokeys (Lukaku-Kun-Lukaku) / taking out good players (Kane/Eriksen) / lost value etc. Is Sterling enough City cover regardless of tomorrow's result, or is the potential stress of watching Kun in a DGW when I don't have him too much to bear?

    Short version: if getting Kun involves lots of hits and complications and team is already set up well without him, is Sterling enough City cover?

    1. S.Agueroooooo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same boat

      1. hackneylad
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Glad I'm not the only one. Have been considering about twenty different configurations of hits and whatnot, and giving myself a migraine in the process, then suddenly realised the Phillips --> Sterling option was there and maybe enough on its own. Which way are you leaning?

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Go for it. Phillips isn't worth losing sleep over. Not like he'll do much even if he is fit for gw28.

      1. hackneylad
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah it's more going without Kun that worries me - doing this tonight shuts off any realistic avenues to getting Aguero in, but feels like it might be the best option

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes just stirling in your case

    4. hackneylad
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers all. The optimist in me thinks that even if Kun explodes, Sterling (who I'll prob captain if he has a double) will likely be somewhat in the points and so potential downside of not having Kun is limited. We'll see if I feel that calm when the games begin...

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Me in the catch-up position, I am getting Kun. If your sitting pretty in your league- no need. Btw, Phillips is at -77% in FFFix so he won't drop tonight most likely

    5. Vlad
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      do it mate.. i can't see any downsides to that transfer

  6. Lovren an elevator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know if Mkhi will be fit for the Bournemouth game?

  7. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Good plan or too many hits? (Getting Sanchez GW 29 is a priority).

    GW 27 Eriksen, Costa > Sterling, Kun for -4
    GW 28 Sterling > Mane / Cou / Barkley
    GW 29 Mane, Kun > Sanchez, Costa for -4

    But if Phillips is out than swap for King in GW 28 so it would be a hit there too.

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Really don't like losing Mane week 29 as he has good fixtures and is class. Sanchez can wait until fixtures improve week 30 or so; otherwise looks good

          I've seen a few looking to bench Baines @TOT, oh for a pen... let's pray lol

      2. Zlat-man
        • 9 Years

        Same. Choosing brunt and baines over mcu and coleman has prevented me to top my ml 🙁

        1. Delima
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Brunt 75 pts in approx 16 games
          McAuley 108 pts in all 26

          I don't get it. Brunt is the better pick, just stick with him.

            points dont lie

      3. Viper
        • 16 Years

        In the last 5 weeks they've got me 82 points 😯

  9. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Against my better discipline, since it seems so sexy, I am looking to get talked out of this -8 insanity:
    Jaku Heaton
    Coleman Alonso Baines Daniels Mcauley
    Alli Mane Siggy Philips T Carroll
    Kane Kaku Defoe. 4.4 itb
    Defoe will fall tonite:
    So would you do Defoe to Ibra tonite; and then if City beats Hud:
    Alli to Sterling for DGW to free up enough to do Kane to Kun... all for -8 this week???

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fatherly advice would be a simple Kane to Kun tomorrow if he has a DGW...

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No point getting ibra for one gw. Just do defoe > aguero and raise the funds how ever you need to.

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So Alli to budget Mid for a hit to get the funds.... hmmm... maybe King or Fraser. Sterling and Kone doesn't get me enough... good shout Sess...cheers

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          King worth consideration given he has pens, potentially OOP, cheap (just about benchable as a 5th mid) and has a game gw28.

        2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Actually can do Alli to Sterling to fund Defoe to Kun... may do this tonite and hide behind couch tomorrow

          1. Sess!
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            If exact money then worth the risk.

      I'm looking at alternatives to getting rid of Kane

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Kane at home and in form... rather lose Defoe ... who are your forwards ?

    • Lone Wolf FPL

      Getting 2 City players is risky and safe.
      Risky as Pep may rotate but safe as if he bench one of them other may play both games so it's like getting 2 lottery tickets instead of one, right?
      He can bench both and that would be a disaster..

        No Jesus and Nacho out of favor... Kun is safe and even Sterling is as he is Pep's front row teacher's pet.

        • 9 Years

        Tough one as Pedro will rise tonight... with DGW likely- wait tomorrow and do Alli to Sterling tomorrow... unless you want a differential to catch up... then Phil to Pedro tonight and Alli to Sterling tomorrow for a hit if they have a DGW

        1. VFORVANDETA
          • 9 Years

        Yes.

      2. Sess!

        Not if you bought him for 7.8.

        1. kumast
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yes thats true. I assumed he´d bought him for 7.7.

          1. Sess!
            • 15 Years

            Yeah can't give the correct answer without knowing what he bought him for.

              For the record I think you're right in your presumption that it was less than 7.8
