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.

    Raith Rovers had to play a Centre Forward in goals tonight as their 3 keepers were all injured

    Wouldn't be good from an FPL aspect

      Reverse OOP to the max.

      Aberdeen has 19 shots (with a miserly 1 on target), 71% possession and 18 corners (last checked at 85mins). They got beat 1-0.

        Yip now only 24 points behind Celtic and Celtic have a game in hand

      Scottish football...

        At least the majority of footballers are actually Scottish....That's where England are going wrong...

          Yeah cause Scotland are brilliant at football

    4. GHB

      Yep took the early price on this before it dropped to 7/10

    Bench two??

      McAuley & Yoshida

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

        Play Coleman and Baines vs Spurs?

    2. xHolmesyx
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Baines and Yoshia imo.

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

        Mee too.

  3. RohanVaswani
    • 14 Years

    Bought Alli for 8.2. Should i drop him for Sterling for a -4? Already got in kun this week..

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on the rest of your squad too.

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

      No need to do it tonight.

    Seems to be quite an even split in regards to TC Aguero or not.

    For those who are tc'ing him how many points would you expect minimum?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      15

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Might at least get a goal and 3 bonus in one of the matches. Might be looking at 9 + 2 = 11 x 3 = 33.

      1. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not using TC though.

      2. UnitedFan
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You'd want more than that for TC

        1. I Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I mean 15 x 3 not 15 total. That's minimum.

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

            I know 🙂

            1. I Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah I would want more but I'd be relatively satisfied with 45 points. Could do a lot worse.

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

                Agree. You have to be realistic too

          2. FPLtfs
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            1 goal and a couple of bonus in each game, or a brace with 3 bonus. Not unrealistic. Just like the Mane hatty against Leicester 😉

        2. FPLtfs
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          What you want and what you get might not always conform 🙂 But I agree, and will save tc.

      • 9 Years

      time goes by I am less and less confident about it.. that's a bit sad for me since I really liked the idea.. but now there is a possibility of a TGW for Ibra and Sanchez is the ever reliable option..

      but if Aguero were 2 play both matches fully I am convinced he would outscore ibra and sanchez in their dgws...

      about how many points well 2 double figures would be ok...

    4. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      11- 1 Goal+ One Assist
      9- 1 Goal

      9+11=20

      TC=60

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

    Lol Mcauley! 😀 He is the player I have longest without interruptions in my team (since gw3) and I am sorry he has no DGWs since I'll probably drop him because of that... gave me a bunch of feel good points.. it's kinda special when u lose the defenders CS and then a guy that shouldn't score scores.. it feels like u cheated somehow to get those points..... long live Gareth Mcauley a guy that at the age of 37 after 21 years of professional football career figured he would've been a decent striker if he ever wanted to...

      Dirty points.

    Imagine your captain become keeper if he is injured or got red card and then he also get some save point..crazy..

    1. UnitedFan
      • 10 Years

      Anyone have John O'Shea back in the day?

    2. bojack
      • 9 Years

      I love it when it happens in the top flight. I seem to remember Wimbledon taking a pasting off someone and going down to ten with Vinny Jones in goal late on.

      -----------------------------------------
      Pickford Coleman Daniels Antonio

      1 FT, 1.5 ITB

      A) Alli, Costa > Sterling, Aguero -4
      B) Phillips, Lukaku > Tom Carroll, Aguero -4

        I have either B) or Kane/Eriksen to those 2. Still confused 🙂

      2. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        A for me, Jay. Doing Eriksen, Costa -> Siggy, Aguero (-4)
        Both options in B might play in 28

      3. Jay_
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers lads, Phillips being ruled out for a while would make B easy.

      4. xHolmesyx

        Would someone mind telling me the best way to determine when a particular player is going to rise/drop? I understand there are websites which can give you a good indication?

        9 years, 1 month ago

        Gw27 Erikson + Costa > Stirling + Aguero -4
        Gw28 Alli > King
        Gw29 Rondon > Kane
        Gw30 Snodgrass > Sanchez somehow!
        Good plan?

      6. Kanga roo
        • 9 Years

        Bench Coleman or Evans? Currently benching evans.

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

          Very tough, but I'd say bench Coleman out of those

        Granville on the Scoutcast

        Must've had a good score this week

          I saw his score afew days ago and knew he would be on

        Hey guys, thoughts here?

        Foster
        Baines - Coleman - Valencia - Azpi
        Siggy - Mane - Snodgrass
        Kane - Ibra(c) - Lukaku

        Grant - De Roon - Amat - Stanislas

        1.4 in the bank. Thanks!

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years

          Ibrah to kun C.

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            😯 Not Kane?

              1.4 m. He can't afford kane can he?

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

          Baines to Holgate could fund Kaku to Kun I believe- then Hokey Cokey Hokey Pokey the next week with Lukaku
          Just another choice if you want Ibra for Bournemouth

          1. bennyp
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Hmm. Looking at Mawson too. Think i'd rather drop Kane for Kun.

      9. The Bandit

        Can't wait for tomorrow's game to finish so I can just get moves done with 😀

        1. UnitedFan
          • 10 Years

          Same here. Sanchez to Sterling and that's it.

        2. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          it will be a bit of an anti climax if city get dumped out

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

        Sell 2 of:
        A) Stanislas
        B) Friend
        C) Holgate
        D) Carroll
        E) Phillips

      11. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Is Alli to Sterling (week 27) to Coutinho or Barkley (week 28) worth taking a -4 to do ?

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

          Yes if DGW IMO

      12. UpAndAway
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ibra is the only player that can make way for Aguero in my team? Worth it?

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          If DGW the yes

        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        A) Friend (stk)
        B) Maguire (lei)

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Neither certain to play. Not sure what your question is?

          1. davies
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Who people would rather play this week

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Both are flagged so I would not play either but if fit Maguire over Friend

      14. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Is Zlatan, Kun and Sterling worth a -8?

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yes if City get a DGW

        2. The Bandit

          What's the rest of the story?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Could be good but need to know rest of team to comment

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            And who he sold!

            1. FPL Maldini
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Out Lukaku, Ali and Kane

              Then get them back pretty soon

              1. dunas_dog
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Alli to Sterling and Kane to Aguero if DWG confirmed would be my suggestion

              2. The Bandit
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Should pay but could blow up in your face. I'd keep Lukaku instead of Ibra bearing in mind It will save you 4pts and Lukaku plays in 28 when Ibra blanks

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

          My Post early today:
          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???

        5. Judas
          • 13 Years

          yep

      15. davies
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sell Defoe or Phillips to fund Aguero?

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

          Phillips but need to know rest of team! I am selling Defoe because of fund needs

        2. Cesc's old mullet
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Phillips probably. Horrible fixtures coming up

        3. Belli2007
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Phillips is injured is he not? When is he expected back?

          1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
            • 9 Years

      16. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Have 4.7m for a defender. Prefer it to be long term. Which one would you get?

        A) Stones
        B) Pieters
        C) Cedric (4.8 - Somehow find the funds)
        D) Anyone else?

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Exclude Funes Mori and Mawson please.

          1. dunas_dog
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Sorry posted before saw this. Robertson then

            1. fedolefan
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Robertson long term? I honestly, don't fancy Hull to keep very many clean sheets at all. I know they've been tight, but they need points against the smaller sides and will be more open. Those Liverpool, United games can blind people.

        2. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          D Mawson

          1. Belli2007
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            If you wanted to take some time to make a decision then Stones for DGW??

            1. fedolefan
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah, Stones looks good long term. Just worry how many clean sheets he'll get though. They concede pretty much every game.

        3. skeyrd

        9 years, 1 month ago

        I was all set on ignoring Aguero for his double gameweek and opting for Sterling instead, but the Scoutcast has me reconsidering it.

        My team is :
        Heaton Pickford
        Coleman Baines Luiz Francis Amat
        Hazard Mane Eriksen Phillips Capoue
        Ibra Lukaku Rondon
        2FT, 1.3 ITB

        I need to take GW 28 into account with my transfers as well.

        So here are the options I'm considering :

        A. Lukaku, Hazard -> Aguero, Sigurdsson this week.
        Aguero -> Lukaku next week.

        B. Phillips, Eriksen -> Sterling, Sigurdsson this week.
        No transfer next week.

        C. Phillips, Baines -> Sterling, Funes Mori this week.
        Sterling -> Sigurdsson next week.

        Anything else I'm not seeing?

          A for me

        2. skeyrd
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          really like A, B close second

          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          A. Get Kun

      18. GE
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Already done Stanislas -> Siggy.

        Worth it to Alli and Lukaku -> Sterling and Aguero (-8) assuming City DGW?
        Or just do Lukaku -> Aguero? (Would in both cases do Aguero -> Lukaku before GW28).

          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I am in a similar dilemma- see above. I am chasing so thinking seriously about -8 to get Ibra, Kun and Sterling. Nobody has endorsed it so based on some other options I would say A (1st choice); I may do my -8 ... but only because.. YOLO

            Some other opinions*

      19. skeyrd
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        good to go for the week? likely going kunless

        Foster
        Coleman, PvA, Pieters
        Eriksen, Sterling, Kdb (c), Allen
        Costa, Kane, Lukaku

        Randolph, Lanzini, Funes Mori, Robertson 0.8itb 0frees

        maybe play Robertson over PvA or Coleman?

        Cheers all, can you tell me when are you people planning to use TC ? is Aguero with this possible DGW nailed to use it ? or should I wait? ( I am 1.in my league, 62. points ahead of 2., all boosts and WC still avaible, any ideas/plans for using that triple captain please?

        1. skeyrd
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          its a high ceiling play but i dont trust kun this season enough to use the first tc in the first dgw with likely sanchez one down the road

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

            yes, I am thinking pretty same, this season is weird for Aguero, I hope that Alexis will keep form until end, I will probably wait for his dgw with good fixtures, thank you

        2. Kane Toads
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'm not planning on using TC on Aguero if he has a double in GW27.I feel game time too risky for TC. I will wait for a DGW for Kane/Alexis. I got 75pts for Alexis TC last season.

          Yes 1 goal each game with 1 assist over both games with bonus should return at least 20 points x 3 =60. Rather have points in bag now as who knows what injuries may happen by next double game week

        4. Kane Toads
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          ....also check the others in your league as to their TC status. If close opponents have used theirsome it gives you time to wait.

      21. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I could actually do ...

        Kane and Phillips ~> Kun and Sané

        Then bring Kane back in for Southampton and then Sane to West Ham midfielder

        Is Sane nailed enough?

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yep, nailed and playing really well.

      22. Numb

        If City get through tomorrow, FFS should do an extra Captain poll....

        Are you Triple Captaining Aguero?

        Yes
        No

            Yep, much like the regular Captain Poll!

            Or just have two Aguero options on there.

            Aguero and Aguero (triple captain).

        A) Kolarov

        B) Sane

        For a City triple up with Kun and Sterling

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Sane here, cover the front 3, it's where it's happening.

      24. Flynny

        Just watched the scout cast. ..

        All 4 of them seriously looking at triple capt Kun......

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I normally avoid the group think but in this case it's a bit too tempting.

          1. Flynny
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Enjoyed the show Granville.

            I think you may have convinced me to give it a whirl too....

        2. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Fixtures, form v MON... tempting you Flynny? sun STO? lol

          1. Flynny
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            It's extremely tempting....may not be a better time....

            I'm not even sure if my rivals will fathom that city have a dgw......not sure if that helps or not....

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

          It's dangerous stuff... making me consider an 8pt and using Aguero TC too 😆

          1. Netley Lucas
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            SAS & TC too Lawro?

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

              That's what I'm looking at but only toying with it at this stage 😀

              Also tempted by Arnie as it makes things a little easier and I think he's being undervalued

              1. Netley Lucas
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                His run @TOT was brilliant, MID a bit bus-parky then @citeh though, nah, Sane 3rd option here.

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

                  Unfortunately I'm probably priced out of Sane. It would be either Ibra and Arnie or Costa and Sane... pretty annoying... will probably just end up doing Costa and Alli --> Aguero and Sterling

      25. HazardAGuess
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Which to do (after the FA Cup Replay, of course)?

        A) Phillips > Sterling
        B) Phillips > Sané

        AND

        1) Sterling/Sané (C)
        2) Ibrahimovic (C)

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

          Kun is the most important City player it get

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

            to get*

      26. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What is more important ?

        A) Owning 2 City attackers and 10 playing in GW28

        B) 1 City attacker and Zlatan but only 8-9 in GW28

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

          B

        2. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          How does that work?

          1. FPL Maldini
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Selling Lukaku but then having to get him back

            I have issues with Stanislas and Phillips too

        3. skeyrd
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          A) ---even if the city attacker doesn't match zlatan the extra player in 28 can make it up for it

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

            Not much playing week 28 so I doubt the extra player will make much difference
