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

    What would you say about:

    This week Mane to Salah
    Next week Cedric Chica TC to Kolasinac Chupo Joselu -4

    ?

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Nice

    2. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Could work will wqit on Salah news only a cold but you never know

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Chica to choupo is actually impossible

    4. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I'd be wary of Joeslu's minutes. Gayle always likely to be given 20 minutes or so

  2. BoooomXhakaLaka
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Morata and De bruyne or Jesus and Hazard.
    My front 2 is kane and Abraham and I don't know whether to go a top mid and top fwd or go morata Jesus Kane and have Brady and Choupo M.

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      1 more safe.

    2. Pjanić At The Disco
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Jesus + Hazard

  3. tattywelshie
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Foster (Elliot)
    Bertrand, Suttner, Kolasinac (Naughton, Long)
    Redmond, Mkhi, Ramsey, Ritchie (Carroll)
    Kane, Lukaku, Firmino

    1 FT, 2.3 ITB

    A) Save
    B) Suttner > Bavies
    C) Bertrand, Ramsey, Redmond > Bavies, Erikson, Choupo/Gross (-8pt)

    1. Effendi007
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      B

  4. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    I can see the potential for a Zappa/Alonso double up after GW7. Would be like two attacking midfielders who would gain 8 CS points if the CBs actually manage a shutout.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Good shout especially if Chelsea are as solid defensively as they were last year

    2. Gianfranco Zola
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Zappa? Moses is first choice until he's dropped

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Only if zappa becomes first choice

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Would like to think that that will happen sooner rather than later

      2. Hot Fuzz
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        I can see that happening Zappa is a frikkn Beast πŸ™‚

    4. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Cahill a better shout with the information we currently have available.

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Cahill fifth choice centre back behind Christensen and Rudiger I'd like to think

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 days ago

          Think away! Just get Mendy for now, and you'll probably end up keeping him until he's injured or suspended.

          1. FPL ZB
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 days ago

            Luckily I'm not thinking of changing my backline until the GW7-8 WC. Hopefully the roles of the league wingbacks will become a bit clearer

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 7 days ago

              I saw you were thinking about it a page or two ago. Either that or your were looking for affirmation for what you already have.

              I think people are getting held up on the 'wingback' label. If I'm not wrong, Valencia did well from a full-back position this week (from this article), people like Maguire and Cahill can be better value than wingbacks at the same price (if they exist) too.

              Just be wary, that's all I'd say.

      2. Hot Fuzz
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Cahill?

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 days ago

          Chelsea centre back

          1. Hot Fuzz
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 days ago

            Ha πŸ™‚ that not what i meant i thought you compared Cahill with Moses, Zappa or Alonso thats it, just a misunderstanding.

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 7 days ago

              I did

  5. Cooper123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Best way to free up 0.3?

    A) Bailly to Jones
    B) Mounie to Joselu

    Concerned that Jones won't start forever. Joselu's stats are good but haven't actually seen him play so not sure how promising he has looked.

    1. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Probably b josulu seems to be heavily involved in Newcastle attack plus a decent differential

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      B
      Huddersfield look defensive

    3. Cooper123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Thanks both.

    4. Lanzini girls just want to …
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Wouldn't go near any of those players in B

      1. Cooper123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Well it's one player in B because I already have the other one.

        Obviously the alternative would be finding another 2 or 2.5 from somewhere to bring in Firmino but I'm not looking at doing that.

  6. Gianfranco Zola
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Skysports says Zaha could be in contention for the Sot match. Going straight into the team when he's fit.

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Their fixtures are appalling

  7. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    How to sort this front 7 mess?

    Pogba Eriksen Mkhi Salah Mane

    Lukaku Firmino

    2 FT, 0.0 itb

    1. Gianfranco Zola
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Mane > Alli easy

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        I was thinking Mane Pogba Lukaku ➑ Choupo-Moting Alli Kane for a -4. Worth it?

        1. Hot Fuzz
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 days ago

          ten million options, but i believe your got it it just here, Alli Kane and someone like Moting sounds great for a -4 πŸ™‚
          Trust your guts dude you got it

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Pogba Mane to Silva Alli.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        you confident in Silva's gametime?

    3. Gianfranco Zola
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Pogba > Silva

    4. Konstaapeli
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Downgrade Pogba and Mane, Get one premium forward, one decent mid and one fodder.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Mane Pogba Quaner ➑ Choupo-Moting Morata Carrol?

        1. Konstaapeli
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 days ago

          Something like that. Or the one below. Haz + Chomo sounds juicy too.

      2. Konstaapeli
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        1 premium forward in addition to Kaku & Firmster

    5. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Pogba Mane to Choupo Hazard

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        bit early for Hazard? Not really confident in Chelsea's fixtures tbh

    6. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Tough one ... Pogba and mane out to Alli since you have no kane and Ramsey or Antonio to hit fixture's

    7. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      cheers all πŸ™‚

  8. whatsgoingon
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Which one is better?
    1) mane to salah
    2) mane to mooy/grob +chicharito to Jesus (-4hit)

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      1

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      1

  9. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Took a -8 after my WC πŸ™ but I think longterm it was good decision

    Cedric Mee Lacazette
    to
    Davies Mbemba Kane

    Team is now:

    Foster
    Davies, Jones, Alexander-Arnold
    Eriksen, Salah, Mkhitaryan, Loftus-Cheek
    Kane (c), Lukaku (v), Firmino

    Elliot, Carroll, Naughton, Mbemba

    -8 worth getting Kane and Davies in?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Over coming weeks I may now do:
      Foster > Krul and just play Elliot

      Allows me to upgrade Mbemba to a 4.5 def .

      Thoughts on this?

      1. MTPockets
        9 years, 7 days ago

        I did this on my wc. Hope it works out.

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Not a few hours before they play.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Did it over the weekend to beat the price rise on Davies

  10. HD7
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    A)

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

    Subs: Foster, T Caroll, Chalobah,

    *Luiz to Kola next week

    B)

    Elliot
    BDavies Jones Azpi Cedric Kola
    Eriksen Salah
    Firmino Morata Kane

    Subs: Foster, T Caroll, Chalobah, Mbemba

    Suggestions A or B please?

  11. BigBelch
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    So had to WC

  12. Kushal
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Should i switch to ronaldo (c) or stay with neymar (c)

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      switch. I did when I had Lewa's 8 points

  13. BRONALDINHO
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Is doing Sanchez, Chaloba/Carrol & Chicharito to Salah (if fit), Gross & Jesus for -4 crazy?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Not really but Gross is unnecessary IMO

  14. Eze Really?
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    It will cost me 4 points to do this, but I now have bench cover for rotation.
    Elliot, Foster
    Alonso jones bavies maguire (Mbemba)
    Mikhi Choupo Erik Antonio Fellaini
    Vardy Firmino Kane

    Views?

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Very good team and balanced. You may have a MF benching headache

      1. Eze Really?
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Yeah I know but rotation will surely come into play and the likes of Firmino Kane Alonso Erik Fellaini Mikhi are all risks

  15. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Need to downgrade Yoshi in order to get Kane with my 2FT's.

    A. Yoshi ----> Naughton
    B. Yoshi ----> Mee
    C. Yoshi ----> Other?

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      A

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Clarke

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Have Elliot as only keeper

    3. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Both are good. Mee has great fixtures long term.

    4. Pjanić At The Disco
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Clarke if you don't have Elliot
      Naughton if you have Elliot

    5. Sjaugen
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Any rotation pairing lined up?

  16. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Got 2 FT this week so can shift out Pogba easily enough.

    Have Lukaku so may just leave it at that for Utd and get someone like Ritchie and use balance to upgrade lokilo.

  17. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    need to get rid of Mane and Pogba- I have Eriksen and Firmino. Please rank:

    A) Salah
    B) Alli
    C) Mahrez
    C) Siggy

    Thanks!

    1. Pjanić At The Disco
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      ABCD

    2. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Based on price and form I would rank the same way you did. πŸ™‚

  18. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Reckon this site is one Mendy assist away from another bandwagon

    1. willl
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      To be fair if he is nailed I think he is a very good option. Plays high up and crosses a lot, if no other city option is really standing out he could be good.

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Kola bandwagon hasn't even properly started with 2 assists

    3. Harry (C)ane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Yup he has good crosses so bound to get plenty of assists.

  19. willl
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    A) Kane + Sigurdsson/Coutinho
    B) Lukaku + Alli

    Which gets more points long term, thinking A is the better option but can't decide between Coutinho and Sigurdsson with so little to go on.

    1. VFORVANDETA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      A.Coutinho looking good if he start.

  21. Harry (C)ane
    • 13 Years

    Thought on Jrod? Keep or sell?

    Have 0.4m ITB so 6.3m if I sell.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Joselu? Would do it for free

    2. Sjaugen

      I'll second Joselu

  22. smix
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Current forward line of -
    Eriksen Mkhi Salah Choupo
    Lukaku Morata Firmino

    Used the FT for this week. Is this fine ? Or is Kane essential to get in for a hit ?

    1. Sjaugen
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      It's fine. Gonna be two hits for Kane?

      1. smix
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Yes -8

  23. Sjaugen

    Any advise as to tinker vs saving a FT?
    DDG Elliot
    Trippier STEVENS Daniels Suttner 4.0
    Alli Salah Mkhi BRADY Carroll
    Kane Lukaku ABRAHAM

    The tinker options are
    Stevens to WHU defender or max 5.4
    Brady to Choupo-Moting
    Abraham to Joselu

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I would be tempted by Abraham to Joselu, but I'm with your defence I would save as could be a couple of transfers needed there. When do u plan to wc?

      1. Sjaugen
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Yeah, I'll be in deep if I do Joselu, and both Stevens and Trippier are benched

    2. Anathallo
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Stephens to Jones?

  24. βš”β˜…Vibudhβ˜…βš”

    Best defender upto 4.9 on WC?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Lots of decent 4.5m options, Simpson mee naughton

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Naughton?

    3. Greenbackbøøg…

      Evans

  25. Bulldogs FC
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Any ideas how to sort this defence?

    Bavies, Mee, Francis, Hegazi, Yoshida

    Thinking of getting rid of at least one of Yoshida/Hegazi. Who is more likely to start next game?

    1. Anathallo
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      That is unpleasant. I think Yoshida is highly unlikely to start, Hegazi is 50-50 for me... Needs major work though...

  26. stevenzhang
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    A or B?

    A) Firmino+D.Silva+Mee
    B) Firmino+Ritchie+Mendy

    1. VFORVANDETA

          Er...who do you mean then? Because Mat is our full-time dev on the case and responding to your comment.

            Ah okay. I didn't know this Mat was THE Mat.

            How can we report technical issues to FFS? I've had issues in the past but the responses I've had from mods (and you, sorry) haven't helped me answer this question (nor solve the problems). Thanks

              These days we can normally investigate asap.

              Server and HomeCrowd issues are being investigated at the mo.

                Still having issues on Google Chrome on Android where when loading a page, it skips to the bottom. I reinstalled Chrome and it worked for a few days but it is happening again. Anyone else getting this issue?

    What's the general opinion on Mkytarian?

    Nailed? rotated?

    Can't really find a better option in the 8-8.5 bracket

      Pretty much nailed, might get the odd rest, but at that price point you can't complain for the probable points return IMO.

      Check out every Scoutcast since the beginning of the season πŸ™‚

      I bought him last week, though I'm not expecting returns anything close to Eriksen, for example. I am considering Mahrez too now that the fixtures are turning.
