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.

    Do you think that the likes of Mark/Wild Rover realised that they would be getting puny, miniscule price rises before they hit the Wildcard button?

    It slow pace of the price rises this season seems to have taken a lot of wildcarders by surprise.

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

      I only hit the wildcard button after a couple of days of deliberation. Haven't got any price rises, but because there are so few, I think we should be targeting them even more. A bit regretful that I didn't decide sooner.

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

        Was increasing team value one of your reasons for wildcarding?

    2. A.T
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I haven't given it much thought tbh.

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      There are 10 days to go till the deadline. Plenty will happen between now and then, transfer window, national duties, etc.

    4. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      And anyway, a lot of people aren't wildcarding just because of price rises. They are doing it because their teams are a mess, like myself.

    5. A.T
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Some have been surprised by the slow price rises

      1. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I reckon a few. Will be some regrets for sure.

      Still waiting for your statement fella.

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

          That's more like TriggerLips' statement. Disappointed.

    7. Diva
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I doubt it would take them by surprise. The first international break has been a bad time to wildcard for price rises for a few season now.

      1. Diva

    What world do we live in when Chamberlain's price is 35m and could reject Chelsea?

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The Klopp era

    2. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Think he rejected Chelsea out of respect for Arsenal fans and he also knew that Lpool wanted him too

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Incorrect.

        He rejected Chelsea because he doesn't want to play as a wingback and most probably would've been on bench most of the time.

        At Liverpool he can play in middle and more chances of gaining a starting soit

        1. La Roja

          really ahead of Henderson or Can? - even before Lallana comes back?

    3. sahilgunner
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      More than anything else he would have rejected Chelsea because he certainly knows he ain't getting game time there.

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

    Can anyone advise who they think the best forwards are in the 7.1m and below field?

    Saving wildcard and may need gabbi replacement at some stage.

    Are Tammy and ayew viable? Is jrod worth the saving? Or is Chicha the man?

    Thanks

      Vokes and Cook.

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Still Vokes? Even now they have wood? I need wood. Badly

    2. noquarternt
      • 11 Years

      Tammy. Big fixtures coming up and looks like Llorente might leave. Wait for the end of the window of course.

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

        Bony is more likely to join than Llorente is to leave.

    3. ONE PUNCH MAN

      Chica with some tempting fixtures.

      1. Pocky
        • 17 Years

        Chica

    4. 404_FC
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Chicha or Abraham , both nice fixtures

    5. ACmonster
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso, if you don't have him

  4. HLaw/91
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What price do we think Renato Sanches would come in at for Swansea if he signs on loan?

    6-7?

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

      6.5

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

        Wait no 6m he shouldn’t be anymore than Jese

        1. HLaw/91
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I wonder if he'll get to go forward much at Swansea

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

            Doubt it

    2. Ramboros
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      5.5

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      6m

    4. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you want him? Looking at his stats he's played 95 games in his career and scored 5 goals!

      Unless he's an assist king, which I can't see the stats for?

      1. Camp No No
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He's also quite young, so it's very likely he'll still improve.

        Although it is unlikely he'll score more goals+assists per 90 at Swans than at Bayern. For obvious reasons.

    Plan to hold WC for now

    Ryan Elliot
    Jones Stephens Daniels Mee Long
    Salah Eriksen Pogba Gross Carroll
    Lukaku Firmino Gabbiadini

    4.5ITB 0FT

    Would love to spare one more transfer just in case anyone gets injured after the international fixtures but looks like Daniels and Gross are going to drop tonight.

    Make a move now or hold?

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

      Hold. Im in a similar position - your team isn't bad at all, just maybe not bang on. Still early days yet and was reading on here, that most hits taken for transfer is right after the 2nd international break. Id wait till then, I think playing your WC could now back fire.

  6. EL_FENOMENO
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane getting away from a drop. Can the unthinkable happen and keep his price over the IB ?

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

      Pray he scores for England

      1. Camp No No
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Who are England playing?

  7. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would anyone be ballsy enough to go for this front line? Only trouble is lack of captaincy...

    Alli, Eriksen, Salah, Mkhi, Pogba
    Morata, Firmino, Calvert-Lewin

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

      Probably not. But could be fantastic.

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

        I dunno... I kinda feel like playing a bit more for fun this season anyway. If I need to get Kane I can always drop a Spurs mid and Morata

    2. Pocky
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I looked at something very similar, love it, but like you say, the lack of an outstanding captaincy option probably rules it out.

    3. tajulariff
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I have 5 out of these 8

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

      Tempting, isn't it? I'd probably downgrade one of Mikhi or Pogba to, say, Pedro and squeeze Tammy in instead of DCL. I'm an Evertonian and DCL is great, and Koeman clearly loves him, but once everyone is fit, even if we don't sign another striker (which we probably will), he'll only be sub.

  8. pakornk
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Rose was right-why do Spurs keep signing players we have to Google?

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

      right cause you can name every 19 year old other clubs sign hahaha.

      Do you question Dele Alli's transfer now he's well know?

    1. ONE PUNCH MAN

      has to be nailed.

      1. Respect My Authoritah

        Not sure. Good player, but have to see if he fits in with the ethos

    2. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years

      Dawson still a much better option.. they score most of their goals from set pieces

    Arsenal have no plans to replace AOC & no money for major signings, but only way Sanchez leaves is if #AFC get massive money & replacement

    They spent ovee 50mil on Lacazette but surely they have plenty in the bank?

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

      Wenger was given 150m to spend over the summer apparently

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

      We've spent a total of £4 million when you look at our net spend this summer. Now Gibbs has gone, we've actually made money. Load of rubbish and lies if we don't have enough to buy anyone. Over 100 million in the bank.

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

        Was just looking at this site for the last while and all the net spend by different teams. Apparently (including the Gibbs deal) Arsenals net spend has been 20m

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 13 Years

          No Ox, Toral or Hinds on there.

        2. Rostah
          • 11 Years

          Sorry I'm an idiot, Ox deal puts Arsenal in the profit

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Started the summer trying to break the world transfer record for Mbappe.

      Then make £27m in profit on transfers.

      Now we have no money.

      Assassins needed.

    4. Ode
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They have but the board only cares about financial success. No ambition, that's why we still have wenger in the club and don't spend money on players like other clubs

      I would be happy if that happened to be honest.

        Looking at his profile, he says one of Ozil and Sanchez will leave.

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Personally, I think Arsenal should sell Ozil, Ox, Wilshere, Sanchez and Mustafi and buy VVD, N'Zonzi and Lemar. Then play:

      Cech
      VVD Monreal Kos
      Bellerin N'Zonzi Xhaka Kola
      Laca Lemar
      Giroud

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years

          Think he could do a Luiz type role for Arsenal.

      3. ONE PUNCH MAN
        • 11 Years

        why play Laca on wings?

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Bit like Sanchez. Get him in the game, but also he is the one who can run in past Giroud. The team should have a Plan A (Laca running in behind) and a Plan B (lump it into Giroud)

    5. ONE PUNCH MAN

    Ayew more nailed, but Calvert-Lewin looking very good for Everton!

    1. A.T
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If Efc don't sign anyone DCL becomes a good option but still a rotation risk. If they sign anyone decent you Maya's we'll forget it.

    2. Syd.

      Ayew

  15. The Head-Ake
    • 9 Years

    DDG - Elliot
    Ake - Kolasinac - Yoshida - Hegazi - Hunemeier

    Kane(c)- Lukaku - Quaner (0 FT and 0.4 ITB)

    GTG?

    What is the limit of hits you would take and not use WC instead?

    1. A.T
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      8 max and even then I'd be tempted. The wc has always been a tad overated imo.

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

        I am on -12 at the moment and looking what should I do, never went over -8, and would like to save WC for next int break

    2. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      16 in extremis, 12 normally.

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

        Those are big numbers

        So its about -8, for up to -16 if necessary

      Depends what you're using it for too. -12 hits are a bit excessive, not to say I haven't done it or it can't work but how many points extra are you seriously expecting from changing one good team to another? If it's absolutely necessary there's no way I'd hold a wc if I had one.

        Well I could work out it with my ft and maybe one hit, but than I saw prices are changing and made some transfers that could wait I guess, now I hope to cover that -12, especially if next week be a low scoring one

    5. tisza

      would -12 and 2FTs.
      Tend to work on the assumption i'd be wanting to change at least 7 or 8 players before i'd wildcard.

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

        It makes sense, that's my limit to I guess

    6. Diva

      -16

    Apparently Newcastle have had 4 Spanish players score for them in the PL. I can name three - who is the fourth?

    - Luque (the glory days when Milner played for Newcastle and they were in Europe)
    - Perez
    - Joselu

    1. Siva Mohan

    Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be paid £125,000-a-week by Liverpool. Turned down a £180,000-a-week new Arsenal contract. (Source: @SkyKaveh)

    all for CM spot?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge

      Lets be real here. You have to be a bit dim to think Ox was offered £180,000k.

        Seen that figure quoted a few times. Goes in line with what others are earning at Arsenal..i.e. Walcott

    2. FPL_Hazards

      really cant see where he plays unless we're selling Emre Can

    3. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He wasn't offered 180k by Arsenal. That's the club making the player look the bad guy when they're just inept to conduct business.

    4. XabiAlonso

      Turned down big bucks at Chelsea too

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 14 Years

        £220,000-a-week

    5. Old Man

      Yeah why not? To be honest £infinity = £infinity +1, and no-one will remember his salary. He wants to play and he wants to win things. That's my rather simplistic take on it.

  26. Scout

    Can players go up from now until next game week still?

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

      yeah its just slow going, nobody making changes for next week

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

        A few days won't making any difference will they? If I make transfers after the transfer deadline

        1. Scout

          Or after international break

    1. Davido989

      Considering City are bidding for themselves, I think it's a mad world too.
