Key midfielders from Man City and Spurs are assessed, while we also analyse Liverpool’s attack since the return of Philippe Coutinho.

Meanwhile, our new expected goals numbers highlight how Wilfried Zaha thrived up front upon his return to the Eagles’ fold.

    Repost after posting to DZ.

    Vardy's last 5 games before Pearson's sacking returned 1 goal and 2 assists.

    Vardy 1st 5 games following Pearson sacking...3 Goals and 2 assists. Went on to get attacking points in first 17 fixtures under new manager Ranieri.

    Vardy's last 5 games before Ranieri's sacking returned no attacking points.

    1st 5 Games following Ranieri sacking...5 goals and 2 assists

    Possible upturn in Vardy's form coming?

    1. Pierce34
      9 years, 5 days ago

      He hasn't become a bad pick overnight, I fancy him to get returns soon. Same with Firmino, I expect both to end up with a similar number of points, and a few runs of blanks to frustrate owners here and there.

      1. mikess
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Firmino is looking like a decent punt from 10 onwards

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Firmino will get more fpl points this season imo

      3. jia you
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Piece, have you watched Leic in the last two games, they're dreadfull, really lacking in midfield. Vardy is not the issue, just harder to score if he's not getting a regular supply.
        He has scored 7 points in 3 games since I've bought him. He's most likely gone after this weekend!

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          9 years, 5 days ago

          This, total lack of creativity for him

          1. mikess
            9 years, 5 days ago

            Like there was prior to Ranieri's sacking?

            1. jia you
              9 years, 5 days ago

              Different situation with Raniere, players werent playing for him! They seem a worse team now, Drinkwater is looking a huge miss for them.

        2. Pierce34
          9 years, 5 days ago

          I haven't, so fair points. I don't know, I expect a response now though. He seems to like firing managers!

          1. jia you
            9 years, 5 days ago

            Perhaps but they need Mahrez to push on and Gray to add some spark or they're gonna continue to struggle!
            Depends on who they bring in as manager I guess also. I'm not waiting though if Vardy blanks this gameweek! Morata is calling 🙂

    2. Alexis Nonsense
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Overthinking it

      Maybe, maybe not

      depends on who they bring in to take over

      1. mikess
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Shakespeare wasn't exactly an inspired choice tho

  3. BIG TONES
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Looking forward:

    A) Fernandez/Naughton
    B) Daniels

    1. FotnikPL
      9 years, 5 days ago

      A) only to rotate with Burnley defender. B) to play every GW and more likely attacking returns

    2. mikess
      9 years, 5 days ago

      B, they have some nice fixtures coming up

  4. liiusions
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Give Kolasnic and Ritchie one more week or move one of them on? Got 1FT and no other fires to put out

    1. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 5 days ago

      One more week for me (I have both).

      If in doubt, roll a transfer over.......

    2. FotnikPL
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Keep Ritchie. I have Kolasinac but he will be the one to sacrifice to upgrade Firmino to Morata. Arsenal got couple of CS recently but were bit lucky as well. I expected more from him but playing on the one side wuth

      1. FotnikPL
        9 years, 5 days ago

        with Sanchez is not handy. Bellerin looks better at opposite side of the pitch. So basically think about swapping him to Luiz/City def or even lower Daniels or Maguire (depends on new manager) and upgrade elsewhere

    3. BIG TONES
      9 years, 5 days ago

      I have both and giving them another week.

      Ritchie maybe two.

  5. Reuser
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Which two to play this week?

    Ritchie (CRY)
    RLC (new)
    Carroll (LEI)
    Naughton (LEI)

    And which goalkeeper (if fit)?:

    Elliot (CRY)
    Myhill (sou)

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Ritchie Naughton Elliot

      1. FotnikPL
        9 years, 5 days ago

        This

    2. Positive vibes
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Ritchie, Carroll
      Elliott

    3. Deulofail
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Naughton, Ritchie, (Elliott, RLC, Carroll)

      1. Deulofail
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Wait...

        Elliott Naughton, Ritchie, (Myhill, RLC, Carroll)

  6. Positive vibes
    9 years, 5 days ago

    For next week (GW 10):
    Lukaku, Cork --> Morata, Richarlison
    For free, Yes or No?
    Thanks.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Yes

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Would look to get in Aguero.instead though

  7. Scotty B
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Elliot
    Cedric Jones Alonso
    Salah Shaqiri Eriksen Ritchie
    Lukaku Kane Abraham
    Fabianski Bellerin Carroll Tuanzabe

    1 FT & 0.1 ITB

    Time to be bold, it's going to have to be Salah > Sterling isn't it this week? Then maybe a Liverpool mid back in next week?

    1. TheGloriousViking
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Keep Salah.

      Richie + Eriksen + Bellerin
      to
      Sterling + Silva + Mee/Ward/Fernandez/Naughton

      1. Scotty B
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Don't fancy a -8 this week

        1. TheGloriousViking
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Ok fair enough, could pay off though getting two City midfielders with good fixtures and crazy form for Eriksen with tough fixtures and a meh player:)

          1. Scotty B
            9 years, 5 days ago

            Or just sell Eriksen for free

  8. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 5 days ago

    What are Davies owners doing? He has good threat but has bad fixtures and doubtful he will play this weekend, Rose looming also.
    A) Keep and trust Carroll/Ward or similar on bench if no-show this week
    B) Sell for ft
    C) Sell for a hit

    1. Jasօn
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Holding for now... worried about the return of Rose but Davies is fire when on the pitch and Poch would be mental to just drop him...

    2. La Roja
      9 years, 5 days ago

      If he is out this is GW then I will sell him. Because by next week, Rose will be up and running. There will a rotation week in week out

    3. FotnikPL
      9 years, 5 days ago

      A) + wait & see how Poch sorts out his LB spot

  9. Feloh
    9 years, 5 days ago

    is kun really ready to start on Saturday?

    1. FotnikPL
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Wait for press conference

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      9 years, 5 days ago

      no-one knows

    3. Ode
      9 years, 5 days ago

      No one knows, I think there's a 50% chance he will start

      1. Arctic_Orangutans
        9 years, 5 days ago

        I’m expecting 30mins vs burnley and fullish game in league cup

  10. kirwy
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Elliot
    Monreal, Fernandez, Davies
    Eriksen, Salah, Silva, Groß
    Kane, Lukaku, Rodriguez

    Bench: Foster, Carroll, Britos, Mee

    2 FT ... £0.2 itb

    ***

    Davies a rotation risk. Salah about to drop. JRod needs to go. Considering:

    JRod > Morata
    Davies > Cedric
    Salah > Choupo-Moting

    –4 and £0.0 itb

    Good moves?

    1. FotnikPL
      9 years, 5 days ago

      I don't like the idea of getting rid of Salah. After Spurs he will score double digits I suppose. Also Cedric is just for 3 GWs. Daniels better mid term IMO.
      Ah, and you're worried about Salah drop in price but on the other hand you want to bring in Cedric who might drop soon as well...

      1. kirwy
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Good thoughts. Might reconsider and lose Eriksen instead. Daniels a good pick. Cheers!

        1. TheGloriousViking
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Yeah would keep Salah too and go:

          Morata Richarlison Daniels
          or maybe even better
          Morata Choupo Jones

  11. Dybala10
    9 years, 5 days ago

    What move would you make first? (Bear in mind likely minutes and fixtures)

    A) Jesus > Aguero
    B) Vardy > Morata

    1. Ode
      9 years, 5 days ago

      I would wait until Friday

    2. Deulofail
      9 years, 5 days ago

      B. Aguero not certain to start. Also B is the biggest upgrade (not just in price, but in points potential)

    3. La Roja
      9 years, 5 days ago

      B

    4. FotnikPL
      9 years, 5 days ago

      B

  12. Tshelby
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Play 2 or bench 3 :

    A) Carroll
    B) RLC
    C) Fernandez
    D) Duffy
    E) Mee

    Cheers

    1. FotnikPL
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Play A+C and Duffy 1st sub

  13. Fuchs Mane Kante
    9 years, 5 days ago

    To Mee or not To mee.

    That is the question.

    1. Ode
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Ward

      1. Fuchs Mane Kante
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Ward has two left feet.

    2. TheGloriousViking
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Definitely Mee, but not for the Man City fixture.

  14. CloudSky
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Thoughts here? Thinking of saving transfer and getting a bit more info re: City/Morata/Kane.

    Elliot
    Davies Luiz Otamendi
    Hazard Sterling Choupo RLC
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    Fabs Richarlison Hunemeier Ward

  15. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Popelys Gull @ 28/1 winner 14.45 Weth.
    Three Little Birds @ 20/1 winner 14.20 Ling.

    Where's that annoying Seagull when you need him?

    1. George Sillett
      9 years, 5 days ago

      I wish the gull had been stopped Cooking Fat.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        9 years, 5 days ago

        🙂 Same.

        Kentucky Fried Gull on the cards!

    2. Squashed
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Still with cantonas trawler

  16. Cantona90
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Kane or Lukaku to Aguero? I have 0.5 in the bank to get either back if need be.

    1. CL4PTRAP
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Kane depending on price bought would be harder to get back. Got to be Kaku. Even with Eriksen in my team, that's the move I'd consider.

      1. Cantona90
        9 years, 5 days ago

        I have eriksen and Kane too. Lukaku has Huddersfield this week though but Kane is more explosive and underlying numbers are better. I was leaning towards Lukaku out because United park the bus against big teams and they have hard fixtures coming up

        1. CL4PTRAP
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Same dilemma. Likely to go Kaku just to force a decision for the following 2 games and maybe beyond. He does well, I ride it out. If he drops me, it will make parting ways easier.

  17. Mr. Jenkins
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Davies to 4.5 so i can upgrade to firmino from gw10 on top?

  18. Miguel Sanchez
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Play one:

    A) Atsu (CRY)
    B) Gross (whu)
    C) Carroll (LEI)

    1. mikess
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Atsu I think

    2. FotnikPL
      9 years, 5 days ago

      A

  19. Tmel
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Time to ditch Kola? If so, who for? (Not Jones or Spurs defender)

    1. Ode
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Keep for Swansea H

    2. Deulofail
      9 years, 5 days ago

      No decent replacements at the moment. Wait a week to see if anyone makes themselves desirable, otherwise stick with Kola.

      1. Deulofail
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Otamendi is a possible exception if you have a City slot available, but I would still stick with Kola for the time being.

  20. GoonerByron
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Have Davies, Lowe and Mbemba in my defence alongside Jones and Naughton... Only 1FT, am I going to have to use it on a defender this week to make sure I get 11 out?

    1. La Roja
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Yeah

    2. BIG TONES
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Yes

  21. the snazzy viking
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Few questions for my team

    Lacazette ➡ Morata for free? (current forwards are Kane, Jesus and Laca)

    A) Yes, no brainer
    B) No, Laca can get something at Goodison

    Play one:

    1) Loftus-Cheek v new
    2) Wimmer v BOU

    Play one GK:

    C) Fabianski v LEI
    D) Elliot v CRY

    Captain one:

    3) Kane v LIV
    4) Jesus v BUR
    5) Morata v WAT

    Thanks!

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      9 years, 5 days ago

      I'd rather have Morata depending on tonight - good luck with the other decisions 😀

    2. Deulofail
      9 years, 5 days ago

      A. Morata great value if fit, and going to become a popular option over the next 13-19 weeks!

      2. Bournemouth lacking a cutting edge. I wouldn't usually advise relying on CSs for points, but RLC isn't certain to start. Next week, I would say RLC with Zaha in front of him is more promising, but this week, I would play it safe.

      C. Haven't checked stats, but it seems Fabianski is getting some saves in. Tough call though.

      5 > 4 > 3. I would back Chelsea to return to form, and Morata is the main man for goals in the team. Jesus and Kane still good options though.

    3. Positive vibes
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Get Morata imo.

    4. the snazzy viking

  22. Flynny

    0.9itb....good to save my transfer here?

    Jesus seems a risky captain option so likely to go kane...

    Kane (c)Jesus vardy

    Best defender 4.5 or less for the next three or four GWs?

    1. BIG TONES
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Fernandez?

  24. Fuchs Mane Kante
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Pepe will start both Pound Sterling and Ham Sane.

    Everyone round here Acknowledges, i am always right. Right.

    1. TOBY1
      9 years, 5 days ago

      I hope you are right. I think you are right too.

      I have Sane Jesus Silva...

      I think Bernado will get a start soon to rest one of those. Think it could be sterling but probably the league cup.

  25. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Elliot, Foster
    Mee, Cedric, Naughton, Lowe, Creswell
    Salah, Sterling, D Silva, Atsu, T Carroll
    Kane, Jesus, Vardy

    2.0ITB. I'm thinking of either swapping Vardy for Morata or spreading the money a bit more and maybe getting Richarlison for Atsu and getting a better defender in for Lowe. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

      Impossible to say. Salah has given us more data. But as soon as I try to compare their potential I'm at a loss.

    5. Positive vibes
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Salah imo.

    6. Adams6
      9 years, 5 days ago

      I WC last week and went Salah. He always seems more involved in everything further up the pitch and his pace is making up for lack of Mane now I think. The promise of penalties from Klopp has also helped me to go with Mo.

    7. CRO KLOPP

    Elliot
    Jones Kola Davies
    Carroll Richarlison Salah Sterling
    Lukaku Jesus Kane
    (Speroni Simpson RLC Mbemba)

    Any advice on the best move to make with this? I have 2FT and 0.4ITB but will probably hold off on more wholesale changes until next week when I downgrade Lukaku. Would prefer to keep Kola in for eve, SWA, so would Simpson be my best transfer out this week?

    1. Positive vibes
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Hold. Maybe Lukaku --> Morata next week.

      1. Tmel
        9 years, 5 days ago

        I already have 2FT so may as well do something...

    2. Virgil Hilts
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Could do Simpson to Naughton or a Burnley def, but a little bit sideways maybe

      What about using your 0.4 to move Mbemba to a playing 5th 4.4m defender. Wimmer has some decent fixtures as do the two Brighton 4.4 defs

  30. Afghanistanislas
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Which of these would you rather:
