We turn to the Opta data next for our regular post-Gameweek check on the top performers over the weekend for members.

A host of midfielders catch the eye this week, with assets from Liverpool, Spurs, Leicester and Stoke all impressing. The growing influence of Burnley’s playmaker is also highlighted as we also check in on Manchester City’s left-back debutant at the Vitality Stadium.

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

    So, save the pennies and go with :

    Salah over Mané
    and
    Allí over Eriksen

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Salah or Mane?

      I can afford either

    2. Ballistics
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      That's what I'll be doing on my WC team.

  2. Avo24
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Trippier or richarlison for long term?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      both have uncertain futures

      1. Avo24
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Trip is more nailed I guess if aurier doesnt sign. Any suggestion for 5.5 def or 6.0 mid?

        1. Dr. DOOM
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Ritchie looked dangerous

          1. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            this

          2. shearer9
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Stats pale in comparison to Brady's. However, an attacking full back in the same price range like Bavies is a much better choice.

        2. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          if Aurier doesn't sign, then Trippier is probably still my favourite 5.5 defencer. At 6.0 mil mids, there's a lot of uncertainty; Richarlison looks good with good stats, but has only returned once. You could go for Atsu and save the cash imo

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Aurier is going to sign. Got his work permit sorted today.

    3. DaddyBellay
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Isn't Davies a sure starter?

      1. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        nope

      2. Fire Chief Moe
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Until Rose is back yeah, no idea when that is but dont think its anytime soon

  3. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Salah or Mane?

    I can afford either

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Salah for me

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Mane

      1. Meppelfield
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Club Mané 🙂

    3. Ballistics
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Salah is the furthest forward of the front 3.

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        But Mane's stats are much better?

        1. shearer9
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          How? Salah is top for shots on target and has better minutes per attempt.

    4. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Both

    5. Mikeakazidane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Mane !

  4. Dr. DOOM
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Foster
    Cedric - Bailly - Naughton
    Salah - Erikson - Mooy - Pogba
    Morata - Firm - Luka

    Elliot. Carroll - Mbemba - Schindler

    Hows this WC team looking?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      very good, I just don't rate Mooy

      1. Dr. DOOM
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I can afford a 6mil mid though

        1. shearer9
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Then get whoever's more likely to play out of Bavies or Tripp.

          1. Dr. DOOM
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            For Naughton?

            1. shearer9
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Nah for Mooy. Attacking returns and clean sheets.

  5. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    What to do with this lot:

    Foster Elliot

    Valencia Stephens Daniels Suttner 4.0

    Eriksen Pogba Antonio Phillips Carroll

    Kane Lukaku Gabbiadini

    1 FT, 0 itb

    I think I could even save 1FT this gw, and see what to from there. Not sure about wildcard just yet.

  6. sodom85
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    What is the best choice?
    1.DDG + cedric + hegazi + 0 itb
    2.F.Forster + jones+ hegazi + 0.4 itb
    3.B.Foster + cedric + jones + 0.7 itb
    Thanks.

    1. Dr. DOOM
      • 8 Years

      3

  7. Lovren an elevator
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Who is the long term first choice LB for spurs?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      there wont be one simply if Rose is fit

      1. Lovren an elevator
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        So its either rotation or just Davies if Rose gets injured again?

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          at the moment, I would say so

  8. Ballistics
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    On a WC

    Is 23 mil an acceptable amount to spend on 5 defenders?

    1. Dr. DOOM
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I spent around 24. I find it acceptable.

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      nah, I like cheap but that's probably going a bit too far - depends who they are I guess

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        just get nailed ones you wouldn't mind keeping for ages, you don't really want to take -4 on defenders at any time if you can help it

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          you can do that fairly easily with 24m

      2. Ballistics
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Jones Cedric Kiko Naughton Mbemba provisionally with 2 mil extra to upgrade if I don't take Kane into GW4.

        Hoping for an emerging cheapie in the last days of the transfer window.

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          yeah, I'm not convinced that two of them are actually nailed - and Jones is probably a transfer waiting to happen. I personally hate forced defender transfers, it's usually a waste of a FT/-4

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      depends , I've spent 23.5 and its good

    4. ONE PUNCH MAN
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      acceptable

    5. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Bit cheap imo but could manage it if playing 3 at the back with something like 5.0, 5.0, 4.5, 4.5, 4.0.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        yeah, this is the minimum but I don't think Mbemba is nailed - 5.0, 5.0, 4.5, 4.5, 4.5 is pretty doable

    6. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years

      Y

  9. ONE PUNCH MAN
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Hello everyone

    What are the chances of Morata rising once and Kane falling twice before this deadline?

    Cheers

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'll be pretty surprised if Kane falls twice

      1. ONE PUNCH MAN
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        why?

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Because he's not fallen once yet. In fact likelihood of fall has decreased the last couple of days on fplstatistics

          1. ONE PUNCH MAN
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            i think he would likely fall in last 3 days,when most are likely to use their transfers after the matches are over.

        2. SADIO SANÉ
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          wildcards - a lot of people taking him out are doing so using wildcards, which don't count - difficult to FPLstats to account for that I think

          1. ONE PUNCH MAN
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            true

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Morata double rise is likely.
      As for Kane, something weird is going on with his price change. He might drop once but that will be it.

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah can't really understand how he's gone back to -85 from -97

      2. ONE PUNCH MAN
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        i think that is just a prediction tool, and their accuracy have certainly been down this season.Probably FPL has tweaked the tranfer+price rise/fall algorithm this season.

    3. Ballistics
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      On Sunday I thought this would happen but now I'm thinking maybe not.

      1. ONE PUNCH MAN
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        same here.

  10. athreya
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    If Renato Sanches joins Swansea does that threaten Tom Carroll's starting chances?

    Any swansea fan or German/Portuguese football aficionado can throw some light on this? Thanks.

    1. NIGHTHIKER - I Kane, I Shaw…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Seems like Clucas and Fer have been playing better than Carroll of late, so I fear it could be TC dropping out.

      1. athreya
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        That's a bummer for my team then. Now the GW3 WC doesn't look that smart:-(

  11. mighty mouse
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I've just become a member because I use this site so much. I'm still feeling my way around but it looks very in depth. I should have joined ages ago.
    I've used my WC this week and will change Lukaku for Kane before the next games. Just keeping an eye on prices.
    Rate my team please people
    Forster ( Elliot )
    Alonso Naughton Zanka Hagazi (Mbemba)
    Pogba Salah Mkmitaryan (Carroll Mooy)
    Morata Firmino Lukaku

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I like it 🙂 Would maybe do Forster to Foster and Hegazi to Cedric

      1. mighty mouse
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thx, I'll look into it buddy

      2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Or Forster to Foster and Mbemba to Mee

        1. athreya
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I think it is worth keeping Forster. He consistently brings in save points and has higher CS probability than Foster. The extra 0.5 is definitely worth imo.

    2. athreya
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Good team but defence is a bit dicey with Mbemba and Hegazi offering little protection if the other defenders don't play or start returning 2s.

      Downgrade Mooy to RLC and wait on TC (see my post above).

  13. Big Sam Time
    • 8 Years

    Need a good 3rd choice striker no more than 6.0 :/

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Abraham best bet. Maybe Calvert Lewin but not sure how long he's first choice, esp if Eve sign a striker

    2. ONE PUNCH MAN
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      abraham or vokes

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Playing or as sub?

      I've Calvert Lewin. Could be worth a punt if Everton don't sign another striker.

    4. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Joselu?

    5. lugs
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      imo Ayew is a solid choice , i reckon he will easily get over 100 points this season which would be a decent haul for someone priced at just 5 million

      1. Big Sam Time
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Atm iv vokes. Im looking for a playing 3rd choice

  14. Dr. DOOM
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Bailly good option for my most expensive defender, or are there any other better options?

    1. ONE PUNCH MAN
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      would rather have someone with attacking threat at that price.

      1. Dr. DOOM
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Only others i can think of are Alonso (too expensive) and Kola (very less CSs).
        Any other suggestions?

        1. ONE PUNCH MAN
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Baines when Everton has nice fixtures.

          1. Dr. DOOM
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I see. Will stick with Bailly for now then. Cheers.

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Bailly a solid 6.0 def (or 6.1 or whatever). Would have him over Kompany etc

  15. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Foster, Elliot
    Alonso, Hegazi, Mee (Mbemba, Rangel)
    Mané, Salah, Alli, Pogba (Loftus-Cheek)
    Kane, Firmino, Abraham

    Where does this team need improvement?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Many laughed when we paid 34m for Mane and 25m for Gini too mate.. both worth way more now.

        Must admit 35m seems way too much but I'll reserve judgement till he plays for us - Klopp improves players.

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          9 goals 6 years

      Good for him.

    3. A.T

      Sniggers

    4. ONE PUNCH MAN

      too much money for a bench player.

  17. Black Panther

    Renato Sanches close to joining swans on loan 🙂

  18. NIGHTHIKER - I Kane, I Shaw…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    On WC:

    Gomes // Elliott

    Alonso // Maguire // Jones // Lowe // Mbemba

    Alli // Salah // Pogba // Richarlison // Carroll

    Kane // Morata // Joselu

    Thoughts would be appreciated! Trying to make up ground with lower ownership players like Richarlison and Joselu, sacrificed Lukaku.

    1. athreya
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Good team. TC might be benched when Renato signs. Also try to upgrade mbemba to Naughton.

      Like the Joselu and maguire picks. Why Gomes?

  19. jimmy.floyd

      I think Naughton

      Nice team, similar to mine

  25. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    On WC:

    1) Going without Kane and Lukaku.
    2) Alli/ Eriksen for the Spurs attacking threat
    3) Mkhi and Pogba double up for Utd attack

    Gives more balance to the team overall. How does it look? Request comments please:

    De Gea/ Elliot
    Alonso/ Trippier/ Naughton/ Morgan/ Mbemba
    Alli/ Pogba/ Mkhi/ Mooy/ RLC
    Jesus/ Morata/ Firmino

    Thanks!

      Think you'll find yourself struggling to pick a captain every week

    I'd be delighted with £40m for Ox if I thought there was any chance we'd A) reinvest and B) reinvest well. ....

        I won't make the same mistake Jason Bourne did.

      Be kinda funny if they used it and Sanchez money to get VVD and Lemar 😛

      I'm more expectant of 6 - 8 Ligue 2 players

      1. Wilshere Knowledge

        I'd say even the latter is optimistic.

      Arsenal should try and sign Fabian Delph , they badly need a decent defensive midfielder , he's English and they could probably get him fairly cheap since he doesn't seem to have much of a future at city

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        He's more of a box to box imo. And injury prone. And complete shit.

        1. lugs

          8 years, 7 months ago

          he's not shit , and he would do a much better job than either Xhaka or Ramsay deployed as a defensive mid imo , he is injury prone though so he should fit right in at Arsenal lol

    What looks better?
    A) Mbemba, Alli, Morata (rotate Mee/TC)
    B) Davies, Brady, Kane (4-3-3)
    I'm on wildcard so can hold off making the move back to Kane til after he drops

    What's the latest with the transfers? I read the Aurier tweet this morning but nothing else.

    Liverpool must have money to waste then if they are spending £40mill on AOC.

    The only 'top 6' club he is capable of getting in the first choice starting XI is, err, Arsenal.

      £140 odd million for Coutinho, course they've got cash to burn
