The time has come to roll out our regular post-Gameweek members’ article and check up on some of the stand-out performers across the most recent round of fixtures.

Much of our focus turns to midfield, where Arsenal, Man City and Everton’s big hitters finally hint at the form of last season.

West Ham and Newcastle’s budget strikers also catch the eye, while defenders from Man City and Bournemouth shrug off slow starts to make significant bids for our attention.

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

    Sterling a short term pick?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Yes but could be a great one

    2. justmatt
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Could be a decent one while Kun is out.

  2. Bony N Clyne

    re-post as i was bottomed out.

    Hi All, long time lurker (first time poster). Having a lot of troubles on my wildcard so figured i'd bring it to you guys for help.

    a) Hazard, Ramsey and Yoshida
    b) Coutinho, Silva and Van Dijk

    currently have B but with Morata probably out and chelsea's schedule.. i like hazard as a differential. I'm 6th in my 40 person mini league (winner gets 5k). This is a big decision for me. Appreciate the help!

    1. The Head-Ake
      9 years, 27 days ago

      B with Cedric instead of VVD.

    2. Nani R U OK? R U OK ? R U O…
      9 years, 27 days ago

      B

    3. Krionos
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Welcome! I fancy Hazard to do damage against CPL, but I think B has better potential long term.

    4. Chunnam
      9 years, 27 days ago

      5k!? That's hell of a mini league

  3. sunzip14
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Salah to Coutinho on a WC, Yes or No?

    1. HALFSPACE
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Absolutely not

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Not for me.

    3. Nani R U OK? R U OK ? R U O…
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Can u have both?

    4. Kuyt Hero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Yes for me

    5. DA Minnion (Former great)
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Yes . I wish I had.

    6. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Yes

    7. Emp
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Nah

    8. The Knights Template
      9 years, 27 days ago

      nope

  4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Can't really gauge an answer without the whole team tbh.

    That's one heavy mini league!

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      9 years, 27 days ago

      @ Bony 'n Clyne *

  5. HALFSPACE
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Yedlin or Wimmer as an Elliot owner

    1. Feloh
      9 years, 27 days ago

      wimmer

    2. Bobby Digital
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Is there any reason why people are picking Wimmer over Cameron?

    3. The Knights Template
      9 years, 27 days ago

      a wimmer way

  6. TheTwelfthMan
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Confused about which Man City midfielder to pick? I've written an article covering an in-depth statistical analysis comparing de Bruyne, Silva, Sane and Sterling, with every underlying stat you'd need. Do give it a read.

    http://the12thman.in/fpl-man-city-mids-analysis/

    1. HALFSPACE
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Sterling all day long

    2. Fuchs Mane Kante
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Sane for me.

      Biased though as had him for last seasons explosions.

    3. George Sillett
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Good read.

      1. 32chickens
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Slouchy what's up
        Were you 'enable'd?

    4. 32chickens
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Nice
      B.Silva to spoil party?

      1. TheTwelfthMan
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Don't think so, doesn't seem like Pep likes him that much. Has only started 1 so far I think.

    5. Feloh
      9 years, 27 days ago

      sublime article, someone hulk this. Sterling for me too

    6. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Really enjoyable read.

    7. MTPockets
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Cheers. Maybe worth noting that none of Sterling's goals have come while Jesus was playing.
      (same for Sane in PL, but he scored in EFL)

    8. Bobby Digital
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Good atricle, appreciated the one on forwards too.

    9. SC not pearls before swine
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Great article. I think it's worth looking at Manchester City's 2 champions league matches as well. Maybe there's something specific to Sterling's game that Pep thinks works best in the premier league, but I think it's more about just getting every player their rest. I don't really think really Sterling is any more secure than Sane as they both have 5 starts in all competitions.

      Some champions league stats:

      Sterling has played 67 minutes total, both times as a sub, and scored a goal against Shakhtar. 2 shots, both in the box (2.69 per 90), no chances created.

      Sane started and played the full 90 against Shakhtar and was subbed on for the last 20 minutes against Feyenoord. He hasn't scored or assisted, but has taken 4 shots, 3 in the box (3.3 and 2.5 per 90) and created 1 chance.

      Silva started both games, but was subbed off both times. He hasn't taken a shot, but has 2 more assists and has created 5 chances total (3.08 per 90).

      De Bruyne has played the full 180 minutes, has a goal and an assist, but his underlying stats aren't incredible, 4 shots, 2 in the box, and 4 chances created.

  7. 1 Flew Over Lukakus Nest
    9 years, 27 days ago

    RMWCT please guys:

    Elliot Pereira

    Bavies, Jones Cedric (Ward Wimmer)

    Salah Sterling Sane Richarlison (T Carrol)

    Kane Vardy Jesus (or Lacazette if you think 3 Man city attack too much)

    cheers

    1. @NF_Janner
      9 years, 27 days ago

      I think Jesus is a must for the time being so perhaps choose between Sane and Sterling? I would think about getting a chelsea player, maybe downgrade one for a chelsea defender?

      1. @NF_Janner
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Or Ramsey?

  8. ooooo
    9 years, 27 days ago

    A) Azpi and Tuanzebe as 5th def
    B) Luiz and Lowe as 5th def

  9. A Team Of James McCleans
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Ryan (Krul)
    Kolasinac Davies Otamendi Ward/Clark
    Eriksen Salah Sterling Brady (Fellaini)
    Kane Jesus (Crouch)

    Thoughts on wc team? Starting to come together but still have a lot of doubts

  10. JJJ
    9 years, 27 days ago

    jones is still flagged?

    is he a risk?

    1. I Member
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Pulled out of England squad. International injury most likely.

  11. Waynoo
    9 years, 27 days ago

    I don't know what to do

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 27 days ago

      If your not sure what to do don't do anything.

    2. Krionos
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Me neither. Life's a bitch.

    3. The Knights Template
      9 years, 27 days ago

      have a cuppa

  12. Duffy Dunk
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Having in mind form, fixtures and everything, which mid up to 5.7 would you rather have?
    A) Choupo
    B) Gross
    C) other?

    1. Up the tics
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Choupo

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      9 years, 27 days ago

      A

    3. Krionos
      9 years, 27 days ago

      Gross. Involved in everything for Brighton

  13. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Sanchez looks like Forest Gump in that pic.

    1. The Knights Template
      9 years, 27 days ago

      certainly getting his gurn on

  14. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Just saw Mark in the street. 😯

    I heckled him.

    I shouted "You can't run from a Loftus-Cheek, mate!" and legged it!

    Hee hee 😆

    1. Feloh
      9 years, 27 days ago

      IDGAF. no one else does too

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 27 days ago

      How do you know it was Mark? Was he wearing a 'I messed up my WC' t-shirt?

  15. Emiliano Sala
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Who do you think will start most games as RWB for spurs?
    Aurier or trippier?

    1. @NF_Janner
      9 years, 27 days ago

      That fact that this is even a question makes me avoid both

  16. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 27 days ago

    FAO Mods.

    There is a spelling mistake in today's hot topic.

    Jonty has spelt "MAGIC BEANS" as "BUDGET ENABLERS"

  17. thorvaldsson
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Trying to dump Morata Ritchie and Britos which way should I go? Someone has to remain.

    a) Alonso/King

    b) Hazard/Abraham

    c) Sterling/Vardy

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      9 years, 27 days ago

      keep Ritchie
      c

      1. thorvaldsson
        9 years, 27 days ago

        To get C I would have to lose Ritchie and keep Britos.

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          9 years, 27 days ago

          so find another way
          but c out of those is the best combo

          1. thorvaldsson
            9 years, 27 days ago

            Vardy/KDB for Morata/Siggurdsson and I get to keep Ritchie.

            1. Lone Wolf FPL
              9 years, 27 days ago

              like it too

    2. I Member
      9 years, 27 days ago

      C

  18. Lone Wolf FPL
    9 years, 27 days ago

    Foster, Elliot
    Kola, Davies, Cedric, Mee, Hune
    Eriksen, Silva, Ritchie, Brady, Carroll
    Kane, Lukaku, Firmino

    1 FT, 0 ITB. Think I will keep Firmino as still think he is underpriced and want Liv attacker as they love big games. Also he has already been rested.

    What do you think of this team? Any obvious missing? Any suggestions? Cheers!

    1. HALFSPACE
      9 years, 27 days ago

      One of Salah/Mane is a must for me

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        9 years, 27 days ago

        Thanks but as long as I have Firm I don't think double up Liv esp with those fixtures is a must.

    Best price change predictor? Some huge differences between FF Fix and FPL statistics.

    Thanks

      Fix are useless for prices, only good for rank predictor. FPL stats best for prices.
