We roll out our usual post-Gameweek members’ article now, assessing some of the stand-out statistics from over the latest round of fixtures.

A couple of north London-based midfielders arrive under analysis for contrasting reasons.

We check out Chelsea’s frontman on the road, while the recent form of Manchester City’s Brazilian striker, as well as Palace and Brighton’s key midfield assets, are also under investigation.

    Have Cedric and only 0.3 itb just the exact amount to upgrade to Jones.

    Problem is Cedric has Burnley at home, that’s a Cs there and jones has Chelsea who is probably gonna concede. Smart idea would be to save and go into international break with 2 FT.

    But if jones increases, will be priced out of my range. What should I do? Please suggest.

    1. mikess
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Jones at even 5.6 is still a bargain and easy to fit in imo

    2. Brap.
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Tattoo this on the inside of your eyelids:

      JONES TILL HE'S INJURED

    3. I Member
      9 years, 8 days ago

      I would probably do it now. Will cost you an extra transfer next week.

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Same boat! Can’t decide! You will have 2FTs if you wait so Cedric > Jones will be easy to do you will just have to get a 0.2m less player than what you currently have as your 2nd FT. Therefore losing out on 0.2

      1. Pep says
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Why 0.2?

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          9 years, 8 days ago

          If Cedric falls (4.9) and Jones rises (5.4) the move will be 0.5 more instead of 0.3 tonight

  2. HD7
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Simpson or Kola for next week? And why please

    1. Live Lad
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Kola if you have the cash. He is practically an attacking winger. 6.0 nailed-on Arsenal attacker! Defense not very solid but with 3 CBs (good ones) and keeper, CS will come.

    2. Live Lad
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Oh you have both and asking who to play? I would still play Kola if fit.

      1. HD7
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Thanks 🙂

  3. ch
    9 years, 8 days ago

    if Kane is fit, would you do:

    Cedric,Silva,Lukaku -> Chilwell, Hazard, Kane for -8, or at least Cedric,Silva -> Chilwell, Hazard for -4?

    Thanks

    1. mikess
      9 years, 8 days ago

      I think Chelsea and United will be low scoring

    2. Pep says
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Chilwell mightnt be nailed just yet so it's risky but if he is nailed it's pretty sound. You won't have Kaku for Gw12 then though.

    3. Turns
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Would wait on Chilwell until next week. V good option if nailed

  4. mikess
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Afternoon, 0.8itb 1ft. A bit confused...

    Foster, Elliott Davies, Jones, Mee, (Hegazi, Mbemba)
    Salah, Eriksen, Sterling, Atsu (Carroll)
    Kane, Vardy, Jesus

    A) Hegazi > Duffy, Chilwell or Daniels
    B) Atsu & Jesus > Sane & Abraham -4
    C) Atsu > Gross
    D Jesus > Morata or Abraham
    E) Save

    1. mikess
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Poor formatting, sorry

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      9 years, 8 days ago

      A

    3. Karan_G14
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Save for this week and look at Lukaku for GW12.

      1. Turns
        9 years, 8 days ago

        What he said

    4. Pegboy
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Save or B

  5. Karan_G14
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Worth getting Jones for Davies before IB?

    Have Carroll (BHA) or Wimmer (LEI) who can come off the bench this week if Davies is benched.

    2 big friendlies for England expecting he’ll start both or atleast once.

    1. mikess
      9 years, 8 days ago

      He'll start one I think. Mou won't let him start both with his injury risk

      1. Karan_G14
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Worth getting this week or keep Davies till IB?

    2. drughi
      9 years, 8 days ago

      nah keep

    3. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Keep for now.

    4. Pegboy
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Keep, but I think Davies is 50;50 to be benched against Palace

  6. The Big Fella
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Are the press conferences ever on Thursday for the PL if the first game is Sat i.e. as is the case this week? I reckon if Kane plays tonight he will be bought in by the bucketload before Friday and I want to hear the press conference to see if he will play or not this weekend or if he has "reinjured" himself before bringing him in. If he goes up though, I won't be able to buy him!

    1. ShaunGoater123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 8 days ago

      no spurs press conference will be Friday

  7. HD7
    9 years, 8 days ago

    For next GW:
    Elliot or Fab
    Simpson or Kola

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Fab Kola

      1. HD7
        9 years, 8 days ago

        For me Brighton is more dangerous in attack than Bmouth hence Elliot. Kola or Simpson is harder

        1. VFORVANDETA
          9 years, 8 days ago

          Yeah.Tough one.I rather play Kola because more attacking threat.

          1. HD7
            9 years, 8 days ago

            I hear around about Puel effect of clean sheets... otherwise I am with Kola more attacking as you said

  8. Not so Shaw
    9 years, 8 days ago

    I'm tempted for the first time this season to save my FT and roll over, thoughts?

    Elliott
    Azpi - Maguire - Mee - Ota
    Zaha - Sterling - Atsu
    Morato - Kane - Aguero

    Bench: Fab - Kola - Brady - Romeu

    Then next week do something like Kola & Brady to Moreno & Richarlison

    1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      9 years, 8 days ago

      I'd look at Atsu option

  9. Catastrophe
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Any ideas chaps? 1 FT, 0.2 in the bank

    Elliot
    Cedric, Jones, Davies
    Sterling, Silva, Salah, Carroll
    Jesus, Morata, Kane

    (Foster, Hegazi, Mariappa, Cheek)

    A) Silva -> Sane
    B) Hegazi -> Burnley DEF
    C) Jesus/Morata -> Abraham (dependent on how tonight goes), upgrade rest of team later...(i.e. double United def)

    Cheers.

      B or C

  10. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Not terribly exciting but

    Vardy, Carroll > Abraham, Gray (-4)

    ?

    1. le flem
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Not worth -4 imo

      1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Would give me 1.8 itb, which may allow for upgrades elsewhere... and to be honest I need it

    2. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Just Vardy to Tammy?

    3. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      9 years, 8 days ago

      I'm keeping Vardy this week as he has got Stoke. Then maybe shift after that in the break.

    4. Feed tha Sheep
      9 years, 8 days ago

      I wouldn’t do that for free

    5. Turns
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Stoke next for Vardy and scored last week. Roll FT and do next week

  11. smix
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Fab
    Davies Jones Lascelles
    DSilva Salah Sterling(c) Sanchez
    Jesus Vardy Diouf
    Elliot Ward Surman Duffy

    A. Hold & save FT
    B. Get Kane ?

    1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…

      A if Kane is not fit
      B if he is for this weekend

  12. Ajax Hamsterdam
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Hello all

    Am thinking kola and otamendi to Jones and walker ( from gw12), good move ?

    Thanks

    1. Tshelby
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Not sure on Walker would just keep Otamendi

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Thank you 🙂

      2. Live Lad
        9 years, 8 days ago

        This!

        Sideways and they will score similar. Otamendi cheaper.

  13. ragonian
    9 years, 8 days ago

    I want to fund Jesus > Kane...who do I sell –

    A: Kola (poor fixtures & injury concern, plus MCI)
    B: Davies? (constant rotation threat)

    Thanks

    1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      9 years, 8 days ago

      B

    2. Tshelby
      9 years, 8 days ago

      A

    3. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 8 days ago

      A

      1. ragonian
        9 years, 8 days ago

        thanks, think both will have to go at some point!

    4. The Big Fella
      9 years, 8 days ago

      B - Kola will be fine and the fixtures aren't that bad actually. Davies might not even play so that's a lot of money to have sat on the bench every other game!

    5. Live Lad
      9 years, 8 days ago

      I would wait TBH to see if Davies is the first choice. I would sell Kola this week and buy back if needed.

  14. Tshelby
    9 years, 8 days ago

    If Kane remains fit should I look to improve my defence or just carry the FT onto the next GW?

    Elliot, Ederson
    Luiz, Cedric, Duffy, Fernandez, Mee
    Sterling, Richarlison, Salah, RLC, TC
    Morata, Kane, Kun

    1FT
    0,2 itb

    Not sure on Luiz anymore and Ederson wasn't the best pick either..

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Save and get DDG in Gw12.

      1. Tshelby
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Cheers!

  15. Udo

    Would appreciate rating of my team:

    Elliot, Foster

    Cout, Sterling, Erik, Salah, TCarroll
    Aguero, Calvert, Morata

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 8 days ago

      6/10 Foster Alonso Mbemba Martina and Calvert needs to go.

  16. Jabba12
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Please advise guys
    Elliot (Hart)
    Stones Alonso Naughton (Dunk Mbemba)
    Hazard Brady Sterling Gross RLC
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    1ft 0.5 ITB
    a) Brady>Gray

  17. okan58

    1 FT
    Bank 0.6

    Elliot
    Cedric - Jones - Otamendi
    Richarlision - Eriksen - Zaha- Sterling
    Jesus - Kane - Firmino
    Subs: Foster, T. Carroll, Mee and Rangel.

    Any suggestions?

    1. Tshelby
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Rangel -> Duffy ?

      1. okan58
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Sure? 🙂

        1. Tshelby
          9 years, 8 days ago

          Mee and Duffy rotate well and no other pressing issues or just safe it

          1. okan58
            9 years, 8 days ago

            Ok, thanks.

  18. BIG TONES
    9 years, 8 days ago

    With a lack of obvious captaincy options, I'm thinking of going Vardy (c)

    Alternatives would be:

    Salah (whu)
    Eriksen (CRY)
    Jesus (ARS) - May not start.

    1. Tshelby
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Why not Salah? West ham defence isn't that great

      1. BIG TONES
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Yeah definitely considering it, and I did captain him last week.

        Just think he can be a bit wasteful, and LEI seem like they are on an upward curve under new management.

        1. Tshelby
          9 years, 8 days ago

          You think Vardy can score more than two goals?

          1. BIG TONES
            9 years, 8 days ago

            Do I think any of the above options can?

            Realistically expecting either 1 goal or assist from Vardy/Salah. I would take that.

    2. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Erik?

    3. Karan_G14
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Harry Kane?

      1. BIG TONES
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Not an owner, probably obivously from my OP!

        Forward line is
        Vardy (stk)
        Jesus (ARS)
        Lukaku (che)

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 8 days ago

      If you've read the article, I doubt you would consider Eriksen 😛

      I would probably slightly prefer Salah over Vardy - not that Vardy is a bad pick, either.

    5. Monkey Hanger
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Could be another week for a punt if Kane isn't a definite. As was pointed out on last night's Scoutcast almost all of Richarlison's pts come away from home. And Watford play the form side Everton away. Any takers?

      1. BIG TONES
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Don't own Richarlison, but still wouldn't be tempted to give him the armband to be honest.

        Fair play to you if you do though!

        1. Monkey Hanger
          9 years, 8 days ago

          Had him vice last week for a one pter at home, my captain Jesus scored the same. If Kane plays he gets the armband for me, if not I will be giving it to the young Brazilian.

          1. BIG TONES
            9 years, 8 days ago

            Cool man, best of luck!

  19. Karan_G14
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Best 4.5m defender from GW12 onwards?

    A) Kiko.F
    B) Duffy
    C) Dunk
    D) Francis
    E) Simpson
    F) Chillwell (if he starts again this week)
    G) Mee (Have Pope & Ward)
    H) Any other?

    1. ch
      9 years, 8 days ago

      F

    2. Pierce34
      9 years, 8 days ago

      I don't trust Bournemouth defence unless there's attacking potential, like with Daniels or Adam Smith.

      Chilwell would be very tempting if nailed.

      Watford and Brighton sort of alternate between good and bad fixtures. I'd say pick the one that rotates with Burnley the best. I have Dunk for what it's worth but would've got Duffy if I didn't need to save money.

    3. mikess
      9 years, 8 days ago

      F if that happens , B and D

    4. Monkey Hanger
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Fernandez.

    5. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 8 days ago

      B

    6. BIG TONES
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Chilwell for me if it's clear he is starting under new management.

      Might be OOP as well.

    7. RAFA THE GAFFA
      9 years, 8 days ago

      B. If not then F

    8. Dybala10
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Surprised at the lack of Femenia love. Once Kaboul and Prodl are back he will be a great option.

  20. Pierce34
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Looking beyond this week, who scores more in the next few?

    A) Sanchez & Choupo-Moting/Gross

    B) Sterling/Sane & Ramsey

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Sanchez Gross

      1. Pierce34
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Thanks, was leaning towards B probably but I can't make up my mind.

    2. sunzip14
      9 years, 8 days ago

      B

  21. GREEN IS GOOD
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Demari Gray? What's the story there. Ta.

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 8 days ago

      New Mahrez.

      1. Pierce34
        9 years, 8 days ago

        I remember seeing him in a league cup match in early 2016, and thinking he was the new Mahrez even then - not sure why he hasn't got consistent playing time since then.

    2. Brap.
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Massively massively massively greedy, to the total exasperation of his managers & teammates

      Unsustainable in a team with another ball-hog like Mahrez unless he learns to pass

  22. Fernando Torres
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Elliott Krul
    Daniels Laselles Jones Naughton Mbemba
    Sterling Salah Eriksen RLC Carroll
    Kane Jesus Morata

    0.2 ITB and 2 FT. Thinking of getting rid of Jesus, what would you do?

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Wait till tonight and then decide.

  23. The Polymath

    9 years, 8 days ago

    Is Gomez of Liverpool worth bringing in?

    1. sunzip14
      9 years, 8 days ago

      I prefer Moreno

  24. HNI
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Is Sterling+Oatamendi enough City cover?
    Was wondering to do Jesus to Abraham this GW so can do Richcarlison to Hazard after Che done with Liv A and Rich also tough fixtures beginning

  25. HD7
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Next GW team, right order?

    Elliot
    Walker Jones Kola
    Sterling Atsu Eriksen Tarroll
    Kaku Kane(C) Jesus

    Subs: Fabianski, Simpson, Chalobah, Mbemba

    I was gonna make Kola to Daniels, but decided to save ans have 2 FT in the Int Break, good idea?

    1. sunzip14
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Would play Simpson ahead of Jones

      1. HD7
        9 years, 8 days ago

        Have faith in United with 3 at the back more than in Leicester

  26. FCSB
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Elliot
    Bertrand Otamendi Trippier Yoshida
    Salah Sterling Choupo-Moting
    Vardy Kane Lukaku

    Foster Brady Carroll Gamez

    1 FT, 1.1 ITB

    Assuming Kane is fit and ready to go at the weekend who should I transfer out??

    A. Yoshida
    B. Trippier
    C. Sterling
    D. Brady

  27. JoeSoap
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Woul you save FT? (assuming Kane is fit - 0.3 in bank)

    Elliot
    Duffy, Otamendi, Maguire,
    Hazard, Salah, Richarl, Gross
    Kane, Jesus, Vardy
    Fab, Ward, RLC, Mariappa

    1. sunzip14

    Any changes I should consider to my current WC team?

    Elliot, Fab
    Jones, Ota, Azpi, Ward, Duffy
    Eriksen, Sterling, Richarlison, Gros, RLC
    Kane, Lukaku, Abraham

    Others I'm looking at:
    Salah, Sane, Zaha -- Eriksen likely being the fall guy
    Abraham > Murray?

    1. Turns
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Abraham > Murray for me

  29. Turns
    9 years, 8 days ago

    Would appreciate a rate out of 10 for this team chaps:

    Fab
    Jones - Maguire - Naughton - Cedric
    Salah - Sterling - Alli
    Kane - Lukaku - Vardy

    Subs: Elliot - TC - Chalobah - Mbemba

    Roll the 1 FT too?

    1. SuperMane Returns
      9 years, 8 days ago

      7/10....bench is quite weak.

      1. SuperMane Returns
        9 years, 8 days ago

        How much in the bank?

    2. Turns
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Bench is terrible. Needs sorting soon. 0.4m ITB

      1. SuperMane Returns
        9 years, 8 days ago

        TC to RLC can be done for free with no cost.

  30. Harmonica1967
    9 years, 8 days ago

    For this gw;

    Elliot or Pope?

    and then pick 3 of

    a). Jones
    b). Dunk
    c). Stones
    d). Ward
    e). Francis

    Thoughts appreciated!

    1. SuperMane Returns
      9 years, 8 days ago

      Elliot at home to Bmth deffo.
      Dunk/Stones/Ward
