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

    Why do the scoutcast consider firmino in a lower striker bracket to Lukaku?

    Weaker goal stats but stronger involvement stats. So far winning him more points. So why Lukaku OVER Firmino when £3m is buying you nothing, whereas 3m invested upon midfield buys significantly higher scores

    1. Greenbackbøøg…

      Lukaku will outscore Firmino through out the season

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Could prove correct. I think there's an over-attachment to Lukaku and/or Kane, considering their prices.

      Would you also pick Welbeck over Lukaku? Lukaku will score more goals in the long run.

        This really isn't an appropriate example for obvious reasons

    4. Anathallo
      • 16 Years

      I think Lukaku will score more points, Firmino wasn't explosive even as a midfielder last year (although he does now have penalty and improved BPS), but it's a big question about re-investing and I'm asking the exact same thing below. If I pick Firm over Lukaku I can have Eriksen instead of Ramsey.... But Lukaku has the ability to go big like few other players.

    5. Cok3y5murf

      Lukaku will easily outscore Firmino over the season, just like last season.

      Firmino is playing in the same position as last season, a false 9/playmaker. Even Salah has more goal threat than him. He's only been reclassified as a striker in FPL. Considering he'll be getting 1 point lesser for goals and no clean sheet points this year, but possibly with penalties all season (Liverpool scored 7 last season), unless he gets like twice the bonus points this year, he's going to finish with the same PPM as last year. There's nothing to suggest otherwise anyway, unless he plays much better this season.

    Wimmer worth monitoring?
    Got 90 min in his first possible apperance although Shawcross was out?
    Is he making way when Shawcross is back or is it martins iny?

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

      Cameron is out now as well.I think 1st choice back 3 is Wimmer-Shawcross-Indi

      1. Carlton P

        Zouma??

  4. LC1

    De Gea
    Dawson Cedric Jones
    Salah Eriksen Gross Ritchie
    Kane Lukaku Firmino

    Myhill Mee Carroll Rosenior

    Good to go?

    Or anything worth a hit?

    Thank you.

      G2G. Any chance you could have a look at my dilemma a couple down?

  5. Laserface
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Considering i have no United,City or Leicester coverage , Which duo will score more FPL points over the next 6-7 weeks ?

    A. Vardy+Mkhi
    B. Jesus+ Chupo

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

      Very close. With no United coverage I'd be tempted to 'cover' using A.

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

      Any thoughts on my question below?

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

      A

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

    I'm seriously thinking about selling Lukaku as it allows so much of an upgrade elsewhere...

    Do you prefer:

    Vardy (or Firmino if you prefer) and Eriksen

    or

    Ramsey (or another 7m) and Lukaku?

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

      Firmino Eriksen all day

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

        Thanks.

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

      A.

      In my opinion: Vardy and Eriksen are good value. The jury's out on Ramsey, and Lukaku may or may not be worth more than his price tag.

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

        Thanks. I think Vardy is a great option potentially but he has burned me before. Firmino will probably drip in points but I don't really fancy him.

        I have 2 FT, and tempted to make my other enforced change and give myself 1 more week to decide.

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

          Same. I've only made 2 transfers so far. I only make transfers so I don't waste them haha. Wish I could save 3 or 4 FTs! 😀

          I may downgrade Laca to Vardy this week. Maybe get Mahrez instead/as well. Or I could just get Mendy and save again!

          I much prefer Vardy to Firmino at the moment. Although if Milner is still disfavoured, I suppose that nailed penalty taking is a massive plus for Firmino

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

            Yeah penalties are the main attraction for Firmino, but Vardy has pens and more goals I would suggest...

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

              Does Vardy have pens? Set Pieces tab says Mahrez, but I'm not sure.

              1. Sims
                • 9 Years

                vardy's on penos

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

                  Cheers Sims. Any evidence/reasoning for this though? When was Leicester's last pen?

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

                    This weekend, Vardy took it and buried it.

                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 7 days ago

                    Vardy's last goal was a penner

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

                      Great cheers. No internet in my new house, but I'll be watching MotD tonight. Probably avoiding Mahrez now then 🙂

    3. LC1
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Firmino & Eriksen over Ramsey & Lukaku.

      Do you have any other United attacking coverage?

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

        Yeah I have Mkhi, which makes it a bit easier.

    what does Jose mean "Playstation football"?

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

        Classic Jose

    2. ZaZaZu

      Tricks with a lack of focus on keeping formation

  8. VFORVANDETA

    Anyone going to triple Spurs for next 4/5 games?Kane Eriksen Bavies look very nice.

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

      Already have Eriksen and Bavies and am debating Kane in for a hit.

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

      I have Kane, Alli, Bavies

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

      Yes I'm doing it. Even looked at Ali eriksen and Kane but Davies is great value

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Already have. Hoping they all stay healthy after match today.

    5. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      What I've got 🙂 Brought in Bavies before rise, fingers crossed no injuries!

    6. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Kane, Alli, Eriksen. Had Bavies early and ditched to bring in Kane. Keeping two spurs kids was a high risk high reward punt

  9. 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

    Your Suggestions A or B please?

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

    Tempted to get rid of lukaku on wc as going to captain Kane every week. Gives me an amazing defence, how does this look? Too weak upfront?

    Elliot (krul)
    Kolasinac alonso Davies mendy (4m def)
    Salah mkhi eriksen (2 x 4.5m)
    Kane firmino Joselu

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

      Will Joselu get enough minutes?

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

        I think so. Don't think Rafa trust mitro and Gayle is out of the picture atm

    2. Pirlø's Pen
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I think it might be a little light up top. Maybe one of those defenders needs to go to upgrade elsewhere.

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

        Seems to be some value in defence, but maybe overdone it! I could drop mendy and kol to jones and 4.5 def to get vardy instead of Joselu or firmino to morato/Jesus

    3. *sigh*
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      See below!

    4. Nailed Jesus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I was thinking something similar with Kane,Firmino,Vardy,Coutinho,Mkhi,Silva with all the big hitters at the back.

  11. Turbolag
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    With Mane out for the next 3, how many minutes do we expect Salah to get in that span? Might he not be rested?

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

      90 90 90

    2. BabyB
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Mane is out for the next 2 games.

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

        3 isn't it? or does caracao cup count?

  12. Miguel Sanchez
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    When do we expect Pogba's price to drop? Saturday night? He's on -3.9% at the minute

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I think the threshold is adjusted to slower drop when player is injured. Plus the wildcard factor.

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

      He was on +40% earlier, so I'm concerned at how quickly that is dropping

  13. M00N
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Seriously considering going 4 at the back, what do you think is best?

    A) Alonso and Choupo-Moting (or any 5.5 mid) Play 433

    B) Coutinho and Morgan (or any 4.5 defender) Play 343

    Lowe's starts under threat given his early withdrawal ?

    1. Pirlø's Pen
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Yes imo. Malone the better player from what i've seen.

  15. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Dullard one - but is Eriksen worth the 0.2 over Alli at the moment?

    Have neither - the extra cash can make a difference at this stage.

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Depends if/how CL affects his minutes.

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

      It's a real 50/50 call. I had Ali and switch to eriksen on wc this week so only 0.1 difference but bit nervous it's now Ali's turn to score! Eriksens stats are so good tho

  16. Pirlø's Pen
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Views on this WC team, starting to settle on it!

    Gomes
    Alonso Davies TAA
    Alli Mkhitaryan GroB Moting
    Kane Morata Jesus

    Elliot Wimmer Carroll Hunemeir

    1. M00N
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Not sure on TAA and Groß, but thats only because I need to see more before I'm convinced. Everything else looks good.

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Jesus to firmino
      use that to upg elsewhere

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

    Thoughts here guys?

    Elliot, Foster
    Davies, Jones, Stephens, Mee, Long
    KDB, Salah, Pogba, RLC, Carroll
    Kane, Lukaku, Gabbiadini

    2 FTs, 0.4m ITB

    A: Pogba > Mkhi
    B: Pogba + Gabbi > Eriksen + Joselu

    Option A would allow me to get Kolasinac in next week by downgrading Gabbi. Could even downgrade him this week.
    Thanks!

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      I prefer Eriksen in either case

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

    is this worth a -8?
    Pogba Mane Chicharito > Alli, Doucoure Kane ?

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

      or Jesus instead of Kane?

    Thanks in advance! 😀

    1. The Head-Ake

      B imo

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

      which mid though upto 6.6?

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

      A. I would love B if Stanislas was healthy because he's my favorite cheap mid and rotates really well with Naughton.

  22. The Head-Ake

    A) Pogba ➡ David Silva

      Failed

      B) Pogba ➡ Mkhi

      1. The Head-Ake

        B

  24. FISSH

    What do you guys think?

    DDG/Elliott
    Alonso, Davies, Naughton, Lascelles, Smith
    Eriksen, Ramsey, Grob, Choupo, Carroll
    Morata, Jesus, Kane

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years

      Time will tell

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

      Too much cash in front 3 for me. Better value in firmino and upgrade mid or defence. Also wouldn't have ddg...too expensive. Presume this is a wc?

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        DDG is more nailed than any of Utd defense

      2. FISSH
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Yeah it is a WC. Would probably sell Jesus then. DDG stays I don't see any other better options.

  25. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Is Evans nailed?

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

      Yes

  26. rnrd
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    WC draft with the big 3 IF Heaton is out for months

    3-4-3 or 4-3-3

    Pope / Elliot
    Bavies - Kolasinac - Mendy - Wimmer (or another 4.5) - Mbemba
    Mjytharian - Antonio - RLC - Gross- Caroll
    Lukaku - Jesus - Kane

    1. M00N
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      There are better 4.5m GKs than Pope and the midfield is very weak .

    2. *sigh*
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Not sure on Pope, Gross and Mbemba but rest looks fine. Rather have a different keeper for 4.5. Cho Mo instead of Gross? Mbemba is injured I believe?

  27. *sigh*
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

      #1 but Silva -> Mkhi/Mahrez

        Annoyingly 0.1 short. Thought about going #1 and hoping Silva rises another 0.1 as hes getting closer to a rise and snapping Pogba/Mhki up. However not keen on planned transfers straight after WC.
        Cheers for the input J.
