Our first members’ article of the week takes a look back at the four fixtures that comprised a somewhat reduced Gameweek 28.

Bournemouth’s hat-trick hero is placed under the microscope as his transfer bandwagon picks up pace. We also cast an eye over Liverpool’s latest source of midfield returns and check up on a Swansea defender whose eye for goal continues to reap the rewards.

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

    Carroll to costa worth -4? Just thinking west ham could do well given LEI's midweek exertions..

    1. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      So keep Carroll...

      Agree with Leicester shout- post midweek CL win letdown coming

        Leicester are poor away from the Crisp Packet.

    INJURY UPDATE: We can confirm that @HKane sustained ligament damage to his right ankle during Sunday's FA Cup win against Millwall.

      • 15 Years

      Dial-up, possibly pigeon carrier?

      1. Kudo Warrior
        • 13 Years

        Horseback or foot messenger I'd say :/

    2. Pea Soup

      I'm sure I read that tweet yesterday.

      I reckon Leicester might just win tonight against sevilla

    4. LC1
      • 11 Years

      I can see a Nasri red card this evening

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yea him and Vardy have history...

        1. Demí
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Wouldn't be surprised if Schmeichel saved another pen

          1. HVT

            • 15 Years

            No way-Now that's ludicrous!

            If I was a gambler, I'd bet on it...

    6. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Red flag yesterday Gambler... already did Kane to Costa yesterday for a rise. But I would bet he gets a second rise ...

    7. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Costa will ride to 10.6 tonight

      1. zøphar
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        He already did last night

      2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Already there

  3. HVT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    If you were wc this week, what player would you most like to bring in, i.e. Who do you see as the highest scoring player in FPL this week???

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      * wc int break

    2. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Aguero

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

        I have Kun but not sure I would bring him in for a WC; hope he is highest FPL though - are you captaining Kun PS?

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Son, Barkley

  4. Caleb's Kitties
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Carroll to costa worth -4 this gw? Got hazard

    1. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No

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

      no

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

      Seems crazy.

  5. sonova
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Thinking of going Aguero + Phillips to Costa + Hazard?

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

      Can you do Costa and Sanchez or Gabbi and Hazard for diversity

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

        Cant stretch as far as Sanchez and I dont like Gabbi v Spurs(a)

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

          How about Costa and Alli ??

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

            I already have Alli, Lukaku and Mane

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

              Foster(Grant)

              Coleman Alonso Jones (Amat McAuley)
              Mane Alli Antonio (Phillips Capoue)
              Llorente Lukaku Aguero

              Think City will be blown after tonight and Phillips has a tough schedule ahead.

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

                Phillips to Hazard this week
                Kun to Gabbi next week ??

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

                  Dont have the funds to leap direct from Phillips to Hazard, hence downgrading Aguero in order to make that work.

  6. Pea Soup
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bottomed.

    Whom do you consider to be the best defender with a DGW for £4.7m or less?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yoshida

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

      Mawson

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

        He has a DGW?

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

        No, I didnt read properly, as usual.

    3. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years

      Stones.

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        He said 'Double' gw Karan!

        1. Professor Abel X
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yes...

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

          Man C have Man U and WBA to rearrange.

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

      Fabio Kone Yoshida - 4.4 or lower

  7. Shifty
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    somehow have had Mirallas in my team past 3 GWs.

    Keep or twist for pne of Alli / Sanchez / Hazard?

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

      Twist for any of those three

    2. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Twist.. tho this week looks tempting to hold.

      1. Shifty
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        think i'll take those 18 points in 3 weeks and run tbh. Rotation risk but still very fun to own.

    3. Frank Koscielny
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm in the same situation. Wouldn't bother using FT to get in Alli when they're playing SOU and Kane is injured. I have Sanchez and Chelsea cover, but if I did't have either I'd go for Sanchez. Incoming haul against WBA

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

        Hope so but West Brom will park the bus and might keep it low at home and Sanchez off on the left is less of productive; Wally may outscore him

  8. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy is a bit of a pr*t isn't he? Acts all hard and dives to the floor when Nasri didn't even touch him

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

      You've only just noticed this?

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        last tonight just re-affirmed it.

    2. Brap.
      • 9 Years

      Like most English players these days innit

  9. HVT

    Cracking article btw Paul!

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years

      always is

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Agree, look forward to these every week!

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          yep, that introduction is most definitely a pulsating read!

  10. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is the Sanchez hype all a bit premature? He obviously doesn't give a pineapple about Arsenal anymore, and is back to playing LW?

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

      Have you seen him play football though? My word.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        ive also seen Hazard play football 😉

        1. Frank Koscielny
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Sanchez on another level in my opinion

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

      Might be the wrong way of looking at it, but I'd rather have him and score 2 than not have him when he scores 10+...

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I get ya, but is he worth a hit for Coutinho. Hard to say imo

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

          I probably wouldn't be taking a hit on him this week.

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A bit harsh - I'm not getting him in this GW though

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I will be another fool taken in by the hype.

  11. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

    A heads up to all Olsson(Swa) owners.
    He has been left out of Swedens international squad as his foot injury wont heal in time. This of course suggests there is no way he is gonna play this weekend.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      yep, my main ML rival went Olsson over Mawson last week. Lovely jubbly

  12. Tshelby

    0.5 ITB

    Heaton, Valdes
    Mee, Brunt, Cahill, Baines, Yoshida
    Siggy, Sane, Mane, Pedro, Obiang
    Luk, Kun, Llorente

    What should I do?

    Baines out? Llorente out? Sane/Kun out?

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sane to King?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      See how tonight goes and Llorente news.
      Rather lose Brunt over Baines atm.

      1. Frank Koscielny
        • 9 Years

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

      Why Kun/Sane out... trying to predict Pep's rotation??

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Any news on Firmino?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Klopp seems hopefull

  14. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Jaku Grant
    Walker Alonso Coleman Evans Amat
    Lanzini King Mane Siggy Deroon
    Kane* Lukaku Aguero

    1.3itb 0FT

    A. Kane to Costa for -4
    or
    B. Kane + Lanzini to Gabbiadini + Sanchez for -8
    or
    C. any other move if y'all can suggest

  15. TorresMagic™
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    In what order would you play these?

    Brunt(ARS) Mawson(bou) Holebas(palace)

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      mawson, holebas, brunt

    2. Pigsinblankets
      • 10 Years

      3,1,2?

    3. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years

      That order

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Haha, 3 answers make it 6 points each.

    5. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Mawson
      Holebas
      No way I'd play Brunt

    6. Frank Koscielny
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      1. Holebas
      2. Mawson
      3. Brunt

    7. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights

    8. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      231... Mawson has scored multiple times recently...when is the last time Holey scored?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Too long ago. Doubt any keep a CS.

    9. JJO
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      all 3 will concede so it desnt matter realy
      Brunt if he plays in mid again and probably will

  16. F4L
    • 11 Years

    Man City - Pool predictions? 2-2

    1. LC1
      • 11 Years

      2-1

      1. Ha.

        2-1

      2. Frank Koscielny

        1-2

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      3-2... very mediocre defenses and wide open offensive styles... the over under must be 5 goals

  17. Whazza
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    "Yet to find the net since arriving from Rennes, the Polish international has produced 13 attempts on goal since being handed his debut in Gameweek 24"

    I'm fairly sure Grosicki has scored?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      2 assists.

    Jaku Heaton
    Alonso Williams Brunt Pieters Amat

    Kane Lukaku Kun

    Kane and Brunt → Costa and Vertonghen for -8 or Wildcard this mess?

    1. Forza Juventus
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Just do the Kane transfer, no need to -8 there and definitely no need to WC.

  19. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Everyone who is left with the wildcard when are you thinking of using it?

    Does it make sense to hold it till when the DGW fixtures are announced?

    My team doesn't desperately need it but I could need it in the next couple of gameweeks and I want to make full use of it. GW36 looks to late I probably want to use it by GW 32-33 and not later than that.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Around 31/32, when we know the fixtures

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If you have bench boost, it will be harder to get full value from that chip if using earlier. If your team needs a WC then that's another story.

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Depends on which CL night is a DGW

  20. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Kane falling tonight...
    Who are you getting for him AND Why?
    (A) Costa (rose last night)
    (B) Defoe
    (C) Deeney
    (D) Gabbi - get a week early??

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

      I'd get A if I were you

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

        Cheers Ha
        Got him... just seeing what people are doing after he already rose

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

          Don't think a player rising is any reason not to get them. Won't exactly be short of funds either.

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

            Agree... just one factor

      I think there will be an adjustment game with Kane out.

    5. Arctic monkeys

      Spurs to struggle 1-0 or 1-1

    Will likely have a front line of Costa - Lukaku - Llorente this GW. (After I take out Kane sadly)

    Who would you guys take out for Gabbiadini in that scenario next week? Between Lukaku and Costa, for GW30 onwards.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Llorente

    2. JJO
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Lorente surely but you probably dont have funds to do that

    3. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Why not keep them both, and get Gabbs for Llorente?

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

      Kaku maybe if funds are low... Kaku doesn't have a DGW in 34

      1. Forza Juventus
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        In an ideal world it will definitely be Llorente...just a bit unsure how easy that will be to do avoiding a lot of hits, as Sanchez is firmly on my radar.

    Coutinho > ?

    A) Sanchez (paired with Gabbiadini)
    B) Hazard (paired with Gabbiadini)
    C) Alli (paired with Costa)

      I have none of their players in my FPL team, so 1-1 with random scorers/assisters.

      Should be a walk in the park for Atlético in all honesty. Korkut's only just arrived at the BayArena and faces a defensive crisis for this match - Tah, Toprak & Lars Bender are all apparently out, while Benji Henrichs is suspended.

  26. Whazza

    Interesting reading. Barnes seems like the perfect 4.5 player, which means we should go 352...

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      but if hes sat on the bench every week, he aint helping

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

        8th attacker, so his job is to come on when needed.

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

          Also a good option to play if you get an injury/suspension

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

      I almost did this yesterday and then I went boring and got Costa... Costa has the second DGW that Barnes Doesn't have and I was only getting Barnes to get Sanchez which would have been for a hit. I am insecure about Sanchez on the left this week away.

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

        Can we look at it this way? Hazard and Barnes over Costa and T.Carroll. Can have Alexis either way.

          Hazard over Costa anyday for me

    A. Kane to Costa for -4
    or
    B. Kane + Lanzini to Gabbiadini + Sanchez for -8
    or
    C. any other move if y'all can suggest

        Would Vardy be a good differential?

          Depends on your ML's

          I'm steering clear

      Rondon to Gabbi?

        This makes most sense

      2. Whazza
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Definitely on the cards, but not in a hurry as they play Spurs away

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years

      I have a similar-ish team and thinking -4 to get out Mane/Sane and Brunt for Sanchez and Valencia

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

        Good idea, Valencia over Walker though?
