It’s time for our post-Gameweek members article next as we assess the data from the previous round of fixtures.

Manchester United and Spurs midfielders feature in our analysis, as do Stoke’s weekend goal hero and Newcastle United’s new frontman.

A Burnley centre-half and West Ham wing-back also catch the eye, while we also check in with a pair of two-goal frontmen from Arsenal and Man City.

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

    Anyone else watching Coutinho closely tonight? Differential instead of going from Mane to Salah. Feel Coutinho will be on bench tonight and start vs Burnley on the left wing.

      For sure. Im on a WC and have him in at the moment

  2. HD7
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Now this is a tricky one:

    On Wc:

    Elliot
    BDavies Jones Cedric D. Luiz
    Eriksen Silva Ramsey
    Firmino Kane(C) Kaku

    Subs: Foster, T Caroll, Chalobah,

    *Luiz to Kola next week

    So:
    A) Cedric Kaku
    B) Alonso Morata

    Suggestions?

    1. Sharkytect
      9 years, 1 month ago

      On a wildcard I would avoid having players you plan to take out the following week. Just put kola in now.

      1. HD7
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Okay and about a and b ? 🙂

        1. Sharkytect
          9 years, 1 month ago

          B for me

      2. Pegboy
        9 years, 1 month ago

        ^so much this^ I saw loads of WCs last week that had Lacazette with a plan to bring in Kane this week. Not only did they miss Kane's points, they also have one less transfer to deal with Pogba, Mane etc etc.

        Especially true if you're going to waste a transfer just to play Luiz for one week.

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Agreed. If I WC (looks like it), I'll put Kola in there and might bench against Chelsea. Although I'm planning on going 4-3-3 as well with 3.9 Hune so might have to start him.

      And out of your options, I'd be going B

      1. HD7
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah but I am a Kaku fan...seems captain material right next to Kane...remember he can be explosive at times... Morata is still being tested.

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

          Being Kaku fan then easy choice. It's just a game and not that big of a difference either way.

          1. HD7
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Btw now I saw a draft... it seema the only way to get Morata is with Azpi and will need 4.4 reserve midfielders... so Kaku Cedric it is 🙂

    Any UCL Fantasy players here? A friend of mine found this post on FB. Any truth to this?

    UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football returns today as the matchday one fixtures get under way.

    The game was due to launch last week but unfortunately production was pushed back due to technical issues.

    In order to be fair to everyone who wants to play UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football this season, scoring will now start on matchday two to give everyone a chance to submit their team.

    Matchday one will serve as a 'warm-up round', so pick your team now. There will be unlimited transfers ahead of matchday two.

    Good luck!

    Your UEFA.com Fantasy team.

    Pogba injury is the last straw. Wildcard active for me.

    Please let me kniw you thoughts

    Foster, elliot
    Davies, cedric, jones, löwe, kiko ferminia
    Hazard, alli, choupo moting, doucoure, carroll,
    Kane, jesus, firmino

    Praying that one of those cheap midfielders turns into a joshua king/mahrez

    1. Sepp Blattered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Midfield atrocious

  6. The Head-Ake
    9 years, 1 month ago

    DDG - Elliot
    Ake - Kolasinac - Davies - Clark
    Alli - Salah - Mooy - Carroll
    Kane(c) - Lukaku (0.0 ITB, -4)
    (Hunemeier - Pogs - Elliot - Quaner)

    So obviously I was a little hasty with the transfers due to the price rises. Pogba is "the" slap on the face. Can I go ahead with this team for this week or should I take a -8 for anyone?

    1. Fantasy 11
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pog to silva

      1. The Head-Ake
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thing is, Silva may not score more than 3 points so would it be worth it?

        1. Fantasy 11
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Let's see tonight.. due a goal for 6 matches

          1. The Head-Ake
            9 years, 1 month ago

            That's never how FPL works

  7. trinzoo
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Stephens/Pogba > Moreno/Alli for a hit ?

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

      If no funds Pogba -> Mkhi (or you have him already), that looks like a valid option.

  8. Assisting the assister
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Really stuck on what to do - 1FT .4 ITB.

    Thoughts very welcome.

    Foster/Elliott
    Cedric Kola Jones Mee Hunemeier
    Mikhi Erik Atsu Willian Carroll
    Kane Kaku Bobby

    A. Atsu>Gross
    B. Willian + Cedric< Bavies+Brady (or Gross)
    C. Hune >Mbemba (just for when he's back)
    D. Save

  9. Fantasy 11

    A) Fab + Aguero
    B) Morata + Silva

    Which is a better choice. Thanks

    1. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 1 month ago

      City options are a real nightmare under Pep, B seems more secure with silva playing every prem minute so far

  12. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    9 years, 1 month ago

    WC:

    Fab | Elliot
    BDavies | Jones | Ward | Cedric | Gamez
    Mkhi | DSilva | Eriksen | Mooy | Carroll
    Morata | Kane | Vardy

    Thoughts? I know going without Lukaku is dangerous, but Pogba being out does change the dynamic of United a bit.

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No Liverpool attack?

      1. FPL Pillars
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No Mane left for Liverpool

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Iiii see what you did there.

          I'd find a way to get Firmino in for Vardy, but LEI's fixtures are too good to ignore.

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

      Curios why Ward over Mee? I have no clue which one is better, it just seems a lot of people have gone Mee.

      Don't like DSilva but I guess he's good place holder for Pogba. I'd find the funds for Mkhi (I'm going Elliot and 4.0)

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Take a look again - Mkhi is there 🙂

  13. Afghanistanislas
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which of these looks best:
    A) Mane > Salah
    B) Mane and Chicharito > Ritchie and Jesus
    C) Lukaku, Mane and Chicharito > Firmino/Vardy, Salah and Jesus (-4)

  14. FPL Pillars
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Yoshi is he likely to miss out on weekend or come back into the team?

    I heard partly why he didn't play at weekend was due to international fixtures with Japan.

    1. Chris_White
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Likely to come back in. Main reason for absence was the long travel, you'd think.

  15. Borran
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What do you think about Dummett --> Clark?

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Quite possibly the dullest transfer possible. Except maybe 4.0 GK to 4.0 GK...

      Seriously though Newcastle defenders (if you don't have elliot) seem like a good shout atm

    2. More Tragic
      9 years, 1 month ago

      boring but practical

  16. S.Kuqi
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Antonio ➡ Mahrez
    Lukaku ➡ Jesus

    2FTs

    Y / N ?

    1. Kirton Hoops
      9 years, 1 month ago

      no from me , have you got no other issues in your team, Antonio & Lukaku don't look like problems if they were in my team

      1. S.Kuqi
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It just feels so boring when pretty mch every owns Kaku

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No way. Both good long and short term in any case.

    3. Neevesy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No. Why get rid of Kaku and Antonio?

    4. BALOOO
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hell no

  17. creative
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Any advice?

    A) Salah & Morata
    B) Hazard & Firmino

    1. Kirton Hoops
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A purely as we don't know enough about the fitness of the two in B

      next week you might get a different answer though

  18. Positive vibes

    Hi, any thoughts on Joselu as 3rd budget strikers?
    Need to replace Chica. (Have Kane & Lukaku)

    Thanks.

    1. More Tragic
      9 years, 1 month ago

      why do you NEED to replace Chica?

      1. Positive vibes
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cause I need funds to replace Heg with Bavies.

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

      As good as any

    3. Hot Fuzz

      Beast if you ask me but he wont work out if shifted out in a couple of weeks need to stick for a while

  19. wolves_simmo

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this WC?

    Elliot - 3.9
    Davies - Mendy - Maguire - Dunk - Lascelles
    Salah - Choupo - Pedro - Chalobah - Carroll
    Kane - Lukaku - Jesus

    Will play 4-3-3 most weeks, got attacking coverage of City, United, Spurs, Liverpool & Chelsea

    1. Kirton Hoops
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure I'd want to play double newcastle, unless your happy with the way the fixytures rotate between Brighton & Newcastle and I wouldn't be confident in the amount of minutes Pedro would get .... and I wouldn't want to rely on a stoke forward...

      That front 3 is great, but IMO sucks too much budget from mid & defense

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

        I cant justify dropping any of that front 3 with fixtures coming up plus like most are finding there's nothing in the 5.5-8 price range for midfielders that jumps out.

        1. Kirton Hoops
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I wish you luck.. you will definately get goals 🙂

    2. Good Times
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mendy is a good pick but perhaps get otamendi and upgrade Pedro to Alli if it's possible?

      I've tried going 3-4-3 with the same attack check it out a little below.

  20. Louis Van Gaalstones
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How's this WC team look:

    Lossl,
    Davies, Wimmer, Alonso, Mings
    Mkhitaryan, Eriksen, Jese
    Joselu, Lukaku, Kane

    Elliot, Carroll, Mbemba, Doucoure

    Thinking Davies/Jese >> Kiko Fernandez/Hazard when Hazard inevitably comes back firing.

    1. Louis Van Gaalstones
      9 years, 1 month ago

      3.3 itb btw

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

        wouldn't left that much money ITB. Upgrade Jese for someone better as a placeholder for Hazard and plan ahead how you'd bring him in. I think he's too expensive but it remains to be seen. Really love the guy so might bring him in anyway.

        1. Louis Van Gaalstones
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah good shout actually, thanks

  21. Positive vibes
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hi, which one is better? Why?

    A. Firmino + Groß
    B. Joselu + Mkhi + 0.3m

    Thanks

    1. ElliotJHP
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A) Groß is gonna be the boy and will outscore Joselu x

    2. Hot Fuzz
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B just because gross will be a one week wonder ( love firmino though)

  22. ElliotJHP
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Could I have some thoughts on this #Wildcard side?

    Elliot/Gomes

    Long/Femenia/Maguire/Jones/Davies

    Zaha/Mkhi/Grob/Chalobah/Salah

    Kane/Morata/Jesus

  23. Reckoner.
    9 years, 1 month ago

    1) Krul, Mendy, Naughton - Elliot plays every week, Naughton & Choupo-Moting rotate

    2) Lloris, Pieters, Mee - Choupo-Moting plays every week, Lloris great fixtures, Pieters & Mee rotate

  24. FPLord
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A. Dann, Stephens > Wimmer, Davies -4
    B. Play Dann + hopefully Stephens and save FT

    Will be priced out of A by next week and have Mee to rotate with Wimmer...

  25. KUNingas
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Daniels (HUD) + Antonio (wba)
    B) Bavies (SWA) + Ritchie (STK) -4

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

      A, not close. Daniels good fixture. Find another way to bring in Davies.

  26. Jimjam
    9 years, 1 month ago

    De Gea, Elliot
    Davies, Monreal, Danilo, Cedric (Hunemeier)
    Alli, Salah, Pogba (Carroll, RLC)
    Lukaku, Jesus, Chicharito

    2FT, 0.5 in bank

    Want to try to save my WC but my team is going to need some surgery before long.

    OPTION 1:
    Pogba -> Mkhitaryan, and leave it at that for now.

    OPTION 2:
    Mini-surgery for a -8 hit. Have exact funds for:
    De Gea -> Fabianski
    Monreal -> Jones
    Pogba -> Mhkitaryan
    Chicharito -> Firmino

    OPTION 3:
    Hit the WC button.

    Which do I go for?

    1. Hot Fuzz
      9 years, 1 month ago

      option 1 is just fine
      i gonna put pogba on my bench because i am very tight with my points 🙂

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

      Good looking team and no way that needs WC.

      Keep Monreal. Good fixtures GW6 and 7. I'd do DDG -> 4.0, Pogba -> Mkhi. Gives you options for next week with MIB (still short Chica -> Firmino?)

  27. FleckyT
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alli or Eriksen? I really want Eriksen but the three match ban and 0.2 less is really playing on my mind...

    1. The Head-Ake
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Alli

    2. Cube
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Alli

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If they were even and the ban didn't play a part - Eriksen. But if you need the 0.2 its Alli is a great pick still.

    4. Live Lad
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen won't be subbed of till each game is decided. He will be involved in most Spurs goals.

    5. Drum8888
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Eriken still imo, form is better

  28. Cube
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which option is better?

    A. Lukaku, Chicarito
    B. Jesus, Rashford

    1. Stevie B
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think that A is better.

    2. Good Times
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B is better but can't guarantee rashford minutes

      1. Stevie B
        9 years, 1 month ago

        because of rashford minutes I think that A is better.

    3. seanysheep
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

  29. Stevie B
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Willian and Suttner to Choupo-Moting and Ben Davies

    or

    B) Willian and Lukaku to Salah and Vardy?

    Thank you!

    1. Good Times
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't sell lukaku

    2. ELO
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just did A myself but opted for Brady instead of Choupo

  30. Drum8888
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Jones
    B) Mendy

    1. Good Times
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mendy

    2. Kirton Hoops
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mendy.. Unless the difference in price can be utilised elsewhwere ?

    3. Jersey
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mendy
