Our usual post-Gameweek members’ article is up next as we check in on some of the standout performers across the previous weekend’s ten matches.

There’s cause for optimism in north London after Spurs and Arsenal hit a combined nine goals, while our new expected goals data offers plenty to ponder at Manchester City.

Elsewhere, Man United and Chelsea’s Belgian big-hitters have struggled to convince as Watford’s Samba star continues to catch the eye.

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

    Thoughts on below chaps?

    Elliot
    Alonso Jones Bavies
    Antonio* Ritchie Sterling RLC
    Sergio(c) Kane Laca

    Foster Lowe Mbemba Chalobah

    0FT and 0.8 ITB

    A) Antonio ➑ Richarlison-4
    B) Antonio Alonso ➑ Salah Duffy -8
    C) Other

    1. ONE PUNCH MAN
      9 years, 4 days ago

      do you really need a hit? if yes A looks good.

      1. La Roja
        9 years, 4 days ago

        If Antonio is out, then yes I’ll have to pull the trigger for -4

        1. ONE PUNCH MAN
          9 years, 4 days ago

          wait for the conference then.

    2. B) Now is the time.

    3. Hy liverpool
      9 years, 3 days ago

      a

  4. George Sillett
    9 years, 4 days ago

    For all those waiting to see who Pep selects tonight it is meaningless. You still won't be able to work out who starts at the weekend.

    1. ONE PUNCH MAN
      9 years, 4 days ago

      lol so true.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 4 days ago

      True, neither will minutes played however an injury is a different story

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 4 days ago

      True.

      Injuries are a possibility though.

    4. FDMS All Starz
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Not necessarily, if Jesus starts instead of Kun, then Kun is pretty much guaranteed to start weekend, and if sterling doesn't play full 90mins, he should play too or if sane doesn't play at all but sterling does then he might field the same team

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Not necessarily. Footballers are athletes they can play more than one game in a week

        1. Ode
          9 years, 4 days ago

          It takes approximately 5 days for a professional football player to fully recover from a 90 minute match. The more fatigued you are the higher chance of injury

          We know that Pep might be unpredictable with the rotation but i'm sure he knows that players also need rest

          1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
            9 years, 4 days ago

            I agree but don't think it's as black and white as "if X starts then Y will play" etc.

            1. George Sillett
              9 years, 4 days ago

              Absolutely nailed it.

        2. FDMS All Starz
          9 years, 4 days ago

          But when he has so many players at his disposal why would he do that

          1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
            9 years, 4 days ago

            Why would he play Sane for 3 games straight playing the full 90 in the middle game?

        3. Seanigula
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Yes, but if Kun doesn't play today is he gonna get rested again at the weekend? Unlikely. Whoever plays today may also play at the weekend, but getting today off would seem to favor a weekend start.

          1. George Sillett
            9 years, 4 days ago

            Natural logic says yes but it doesn't necessarily mean that they will start at the weekend.

      2. George Sillett
        9 years, 4 days ago

        This is not Pep's logic .

    5. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      9 years, 4 days ago

      True dat

    6. Going Home
      9 years, 4 days ago

      What do you mean? He managed Sterling's minutes last week in UCL and... doh

    7. Monkey Hanger
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Agree. After last weeks, 'Sterling subbed at 70. Guaranteed to start'. We should have learnt, don't try to second guess Pep it will end in tears.

    8. Paul
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Ain't the match tomorrow night???

    9. Sedemuda
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I think he'll start Kun tonight in the hope of breaking the record at home.
      Like you say whatever he picks obviously gives us no idea of who starts on Saturday.

  5. Guadlajara
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Help needed

    Elliot/green
    Mbemba naughton cedric mee rosenior
    Sterling hazard carrol richa Brady
    Lukaku kane aguero

    Feel midfield and defence way to light. Will my strikers make up for it?

  6. FDMS All Starz
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Would you recommend Pedro in my draft team?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Yes

    2. Paul
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Yes I have him...good chelsea cover

  7. grooveymatt65
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Hi guys how does this team look? i was thinking of doing Zaha/Sterling to Richarlison and Lukaku to Aguero? i have 1.5 itb

    Fabianski Pereira

    Monreal Naughton Jones Simpson Rangel

    Salah Silva Zaha Sterling RLC

    Lukaku Kane Abraham

    thanks

    1. Ha.
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I’d make those moves

  8. ooooo
    9 years, 4 days ago

    rp
    Ryan
    Azpi Otamendi Ward Davies
    Salah Silva Richarlison
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    Elliot Jones RLC Carroll

    A) Davies + RLC to Dunk + Choupo(play everyweek except hard ones)
    B) Davies + Jesus to Dunk + Aguero(depending on today's game)

    1. ooooo
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Anyone able to help?

    2. Whats the Mata?
      9 years, 4 days ago

      B depending on tonight

      1. George Sillett
        9 years, 3 days ago

        I don't think tonight has any bearing on this at all .
        Aguero starts - could be that Pep is just giving him more minutes to get him match fitter.
        Aguero doesn't start - people will assume that this means that he starts at the weekend but this isn't necessarily the case.

        1. ooooo
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Bring him in anyway then?

        2. Guba
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Or Aguero starts, gets injured and then you know not to bring him in?

          Better to wait and see considering there's no benefit to doing it now before the game.

  9. L S P
    9 years, 4 days ago

    My lot:

    Fab
    Luiz / Stones / Cedric / Ward
    Hazard / Sterling / Choupo /
    Lukaku / Jesus / Vardy

    Elliot / Simpson / Tarroll / Stephens

    2 FTs / 1.6 ITB

    Players I would like to potentially bring in: Lacazette, Richarlison, maybe Sanchez (but keeping Hazard for now), Salah...

    Mostly considering Lukaku/Stephens->Laca/Richarlison and hope Sterling/Jesus start against WBA...

    Suggestions?

  10. Rinseboy
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Kiko or Bruno and why?

    Cant decide, Brighton look a bit more solid, is Kiko attacking tho?!

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Would get Duffy or Dunk over Bruno - he's missed a couple I think?

      I prefer solidity in cheap defenders - any attacking/BPs is a bonus πŸ™‚ Watford have been fine apart from City/Chelsea/Liverpool where you wouldn't play them anyway

      1. Rinseboy
        9 years, 4 days ago

        thanks Klop. think Bruno was injured in those games otherwise would have been highested scoring Brighton defender?

        Cant decide who more likely to keep clean sheets out of Watford or Brighton though!

    2. Football Weekender
      9 years, 4 days ago

      If you’re looking at BHA defenders then orget Bruno and go with Dunk. Very good value at £4.4m.

  11. Mattymo23
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Do I WC this lot (already on a -4)?

    Fab Foster
    Kola Ota Jones Mee Suttner
    Cout Silva Pedro Dacoure Carrol
    Kane Kun Joseul

    to

    Fab Ryan
    Ota Jones Mertesacker Daniels Mee
    Cout Salah Sane Dacoure Surman
    Kane Kun Diouf

    1. L S P
      9 years, 4 days ago

      No

      1. Mattymo23
        9 years, 3 days ago

        May I ask why?

  12. Scotty B
    9 years, 4 days ago

    So Jones isn't injured then. Keep?

    1. Royal5
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Ofcourse

    2. Pumpkinhead
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Next two aren't great but after that he has some decent fixture. Plus you never know Man U could park the bus as usual against big teams and pick up a cleanie.

  13. EL_FENOMENO
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Kane + Aguero + ?

    Who's the best third striker option ? Premium Morata, mid Vardy/Bobby or cheap Tammy and upgrade midfield

    1. Ha.
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Tammy and upgrade

    2. Going Home
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Like Bobby for the next two weeks. Bit s**t or bust, it could kick start his season (like I hoped bullying that Portuguese team would, before Liverpool forgot to turn up at Wembley)

  14. Recoba
    9 years, 4 days ago

    1 shot on goal... thats great value

    1. Royal5
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Otamendi?

    2. La Roja
      9 years, 4 days ago

      David Nugent?

    3. Ode
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Kane had 2 shots on goal

  15. Pumpkinhead
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Sterling and Atsu or Salah (c) and Rich -4?

    Have SIlva and Aguero

    1. Ha.
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Take the hit

    2. Royal5
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I'd sell Silva over Sterling. Actually I did.

      1. Pumpkinhead
        9 years, 4 days ago

        I have too much invested in Silva - plus like his nailedness* - Sterling is more explosive (I do see the advantage)

        1. Royal5
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Sterling is just soo much.more involved when he plays. Also O got a decent bench atm so if he doesn't feature it's really not that big of a deal. Had to sell one of them to make room for Aguero.

          1. Pumpkinhead
            9 years, 4 days ago

            The bench makes all the different. Just hoping Silva can continue to be consistent and chip in the weeks that Sterling explodes.

    3. La Roja
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Yesh

    4. Pumpkinhead
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Could do Sterling to Salah and play Shaqiri and Atsu.

  16. Scotty B
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Elliot
    Bellerin Cedric Jones Alonso
    Salah Shaqiri Eriksen Ritchie
    Lukaku Kane

    Fabianski Abraham Carroll Tuanzabe

    2 FT & 0.1 ITB

    What would be a good 2 FT punt this week? Ins and outs?

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Bellerin to Stones and Ritchie to Richarlison

  17. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Anything need doing here? 1FT. 1.5mil itb, WC intact until GW12

    Foster/Elliot
    Jones, Daniels, Naughton, Yoshida
    Eriksen, Sterling, Ritchie
    Kane, Lukaku, Jesus

    (TC, Stephens, 4.0)

    1. Stoic
      9 years, 3 days ago

      I would get Richarlison

  18. Paul
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Repost

    Really need some help out here. Cheers in advance πŸ™‚

    Elliot
    Ward Kola Bertrand Stones
    Eriksen Sterling Choupo
    Kane Lukaku Vardy

    Foster Ritchie Carroll Long

    1FT 0 ITB

    should i do

    A) Lukaku & Eriksen > Aguero & Coutinho
    B) Eriksen & Ritchie > Coutinho & Richarlison play 3-4-3 bench bertrand
    C) Lukaku > Morata
    D) Any other combo
    E) Save

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Tempted to keep. Or just Lukaku to Aguero.

  19. Davido989
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Do we reckon Trippier is nailed? 4 assists already.

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 4 days ago

      No. Himself, Aurier and then Bavies and Rose will be rotated as wing backs this season imo.

      1. Davido989
        9 years, 4 days ago

        That's frustrating. He's a great pick other than that.

        1. He did the corners, last match. Well. πŸ™‚

          1. Davido989
            9 years, 4 days ago

            Yep..and I have a 5.6m defender slot available on my WC.

            1. Pumpkinhead
              9 years, 4 days ago

              Might as well - Can easily move down at that price if rotation gets annoying.

    2. Pumpkinhead
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I rate Trippier (liked him at Burnley) I think he'll get most of the starts but Aurier is always there in the shadows.

    3. Royal5
      9 years, 4 days ago

      No. Not with Aurier around. But he's still a good pick imo

    4. Football Weekender
      9 years, 4 days ago

      He’s had good returns but surely the wingbacks at Spurs are prone to rotation. Trippier/Aurier on the right, Davies/Rose on the left. If your fine with the rotation risk then go for it though, when he plays he’s capable of double digit returns.

    5. Ha.
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Nope. I believe Poch prefers Aurier.

  20. TheBusDriver
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Dunk or Duffy?

  21. DAVESAVES
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Hello!

    Elliot Fabianski
    Davies Jones D.Luiz Ward Mbemba
    Silva Sterling Richarlison Choupo-Moting King
    Vardy Aguero Kane

    Sterling > Salah for -4 or GTG?

  22. koval24
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Playing WC: Fabianski/Elliot - Otamendi / Jones / Mee / Duffy / Hunemier - Eriksen / Salah / Richarlison / David Silva / Surman - Aguero/ Kane / Ayew
    Any advice? Thanks

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Looks good

  23. FFSbet.com
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Anyone else think Mou will play more offensive?
    Whats the point in parking the bus if you are 5 points behind and probably more after Spurs game.

    1. Pumpkinhead
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I don't think he has the players right now. SO many injuries. Could play Martial, Mata, Rashford, Kaku but Matic will be left solo in the midfield.

    2. Ha.
      9 years, 4 days ago

      No. There’s little point, but that’s Mou for you.

    Elliot (Krul)
    Bavies Jones Otamendi (Fernandez Rosenior)
    Salah Sterling Richarlison Gross (Carroll)
    Kane Aguero Vardy

    WC still available to get rid of Vardy Sterling Bavies Krul for Morata Dilva Ward Speroni as well, what do you think?

    Thoughts on

    Jesus+Sterling+Bavies to Aguero+Coutinho/Salah+Famenia(-4)?

    Current team

    Fabianski Krul
    Davies Mee Daniels Cedric 3.9M
    Hazard Sterling Richarlison CM RLC
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    2FTs, 1.2m ITB.

    Thanks.
