Men In Black – Gameweek 16

Our brand new series, plundering the new Referee data soon to be available to our members, continues with an analysis of the Gameweek 16 appointments.

We scan the assignments and attempt to pick out the key pairings, assessing the data to decipher the potential impact of certain whistlers on their respective fixtures and the players in line to either suffer or benefit as a result.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Sane and Brady Out

    Ramsey and Fabregas In

    Thoughts??

    1. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Not Fabregas.

      1. damiang2233
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Have 6.9m to spend who instead so?

          Do you have Richarlison or Gross?

          1. damiang2233
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Have Richarlison ya not Gross

            1. panda07
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Could go for Gross and use the 0.9 saved elsewhere

                6 years, 6 months ago

                Agreed just dont think Brighton are in a good spot at the minute??

                1. panda07

                  I don't have Gross myself but planning on getting him in over the next week or 2. He's great value for money at 6m and I don't see him being rotated too much over x-mas, whereas I can see Fabregas being rotated more.

        2. noquarternt
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Richarlison for sure.

          1. damiang2233
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Already have richarlison

            1. noquarternt
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Not sure then. RLC and use the cash elsewhere? That or Groß or Shaqiri would be my choices.

    2. Weilong7
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Shaqiri perhaps?

  2. Ciro Di Marzio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Been away for a while and come back to see a lot of people transferring Sane and Sterling out. Any reason for this? Surely they're still good picks.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Sane is awful

      1. Ciro Di Marzio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Lol. He was essential 3 weeks ago.

    2. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Many want Cout and Hazard more I guess.

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      There are two new bandwagons now. Still good picks.

    4. justlikehoney
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Everyone finding a way to get Hazard and Coutinho it looks like. Those two have better fixtures over the next three than City. Plus a lot of people went double/triple City and looking to get rid of one. Agree though Sane and Sterling are still good picks in the long-run.

      1. Arctic_Orangutans
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Well not convinced by coutinho, very patchy and seems to pick up knocks. Hazard on the other hand is essential right now

        1. vinniebolton
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Agree, big hauls following by many blanks in a row, same every season

    5. Ciro Di Marzio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Fair enough, cheers for replies. Think I'll be keeping both for now, haz would require -4 and I don't really fancy Cout.

  3. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Who to captain out of this lot?

    Courtois
    Alonso Otamendi Tarkowski
    Salah Coutinho Sterling Richarlison
    Kane Morata Wilson

    Elliot RLC Mariappa Mbemba

    1. gwitbrock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Coutinho, Kane vice.

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks for the reply, I had the (C) on Coutinho but I don't think that he trained today so I'm looking at Salah or Kane now

    2. Athletic Bilbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Nice options. I’d go Liverpool if hadn’t got it on Hazard

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers mate, I'm leaning towards Salah but worried about a Kane haul against a dodgy Stoke defence

        1. Digital-Real
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          the only problem with Captaining Kane is his Wembley stats. Not good.

          1. panda07
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            True that, but I can see him exploding at Wembley some week soon

        2. Athletic Bilbo
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          I sold Kane this week. Sick of it. Let him haul, my mid is ace

          1. panda07
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Could be a good move, I'm looking at doing this myself but will have to get him back in for the double GW 22

            1. Digital-Real
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              be easy to bring him back in for GW22. As AB said, let him haul.

  4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Haz or Kane as cap is doing my head in!

    1. Athletic Bilbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Form

      1. Arctic_Orangutans
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I think both will have similar scores but I’d go Haz

    2. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      the one who won't be on the bench @ ko time

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Kane

    4. Athletic Bilbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      It’s a derby I think Hazard plays

  5. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Is Mahrez on pens? Could he be worth the 1.2 over Ramsey?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Think Vardy missed the last?

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Think Vardy is on pens

  6. Athletic Bilbo
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    KIko should be safe against rise at 19000 to threshold, 50.6 on fplstats right?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      He should

      1. Athletic Bilbo
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Been some weird, unexpected leaps recently. Most are on Zeeg I guess

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Should be safe I think

  7. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Kiko over Zeeg in the scout picks?

    what is this

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Assured starting birth for one and better in BPS

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        but then Zeeg has 5 baps in his last four whilst Kiko has 3, and not to mention that he is almost nailed

        I suppose he generally does better in baps Kiko, but Zeeg is more attacking to get the baps!

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Holebas is also a worry for Zeeg

          1. the snazzy viking
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            of course, but he's as much as a threat to Zeeg's place as Janmaat is to Kiko's

            I think both will start most matches and the same amount

            and also Silva bought Zeeg from Portugal so he must like him, so why not play him week in week out rather than playing Holebas

    2. Athletic Bilbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Both be rested at some point. Still prefer kiko

  8. Weilong7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard and coutinho rising today?

  9. Sancidino
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    What would you do with this team? 1ft, 0.1 ITB
    Fabianski/Elliot

    Otamendi Moreno Daniels Alonso Ward

    Salah Hazard Richarlison Ramsey Carroll

    (K)ane Jesus Niasse

    Thinking about getting rid of Jesus, Morata, Firmino?

    Cheers!

  10. Teahupo'o
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Worth getting Alonso?

    Pope
    Otamendi Mustafi Maguire
    Hazard Salah Pogba Richarlison
    Morata Kane Wilson

    (Elliot, RLC Zanka Gamez)
    1FT 1.3ITB

    B) Mustafi ➡ Christensen
    C) Mustafi Wilson ➡ Alonso DCL -4

    1. Teahupo'o
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      It's Ramsey instead of Pogba btw.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Pogba is banned.

      no need, my bench is super strong

    De Gea > Pope to free up funds for Hazard?

    1. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      do it next gw when he starts

      1. amsemp

        Is Haz a rotation risk then? Due to rise tonight though

      2. Magic Bean

        How are you so sure on this?

        1. Eton Rifles

      1. fattfattygavgav

        Based on this guys name I'd bench B or C then.

  17. Pep says
    • 8 Years

    Ward 1st sub ahead of Daniels? Have a feeling I'll be calling on both players this weekend regardless.

    1. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I'm benching Ward and playing Daniels.

  18. MadeinIreland
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Suggestion on improving this team please - I have 2 free transfers but no money ITB.

    Foster
    Otamendi, kolasenic, Daniels, Christensen
    Salad, Hazard, Richaldson, Sane
    Kane(c), vardy

    Elliot, Wilson, Carroll, Meemba

    I'd hate to not use at least one transfer and lose it even if to improve the subs bench but not a lot of money to play with.

    Cheers...

    1. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Wilson > dcl

      1. MadeinIreland
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I did think about that but worried about his longer term prospects with Naisse and Bolaise about to figure perhaps and Sam looking for a new striker. It would give me some much needed funds but I think Wilson is just as likely to score as him.

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I'd play Wilson instead of Daniels and then get rid next week before his dodgy fixtures.

      You could maybe just do a boring Mbemba > Mariappa this week as he's playing at the minute

  19. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Play Vardy or Ramsey?

    1. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Vardy

      1. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I have lost all confidence in him

        1. Eton Rifles
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          play Ramsey then 😛

    2. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Benching Ward Daniels and one of these 2? What kind of super 15 have you got?

      1. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Elliott, Krul
        Ward, Daniels, Morgan, Alonso, Gamez
        Ramsey, Couts, Salah, Gross, Hazard
        Murray, Vardy, Morata

        Not exactly super 15 but benching dilemma, especially this weekend

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Bench one of Gross/Murray

          1. Digital-Real
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            against Huddersfield? Murray likes to score with his head! and Gross is involved in over 40% of Brighton goals.

            1. JÆKS ⭐
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Madness to bench Ramsey or Vardy though, but well wait until tomorrow, Coutinho might be out

  20. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Is Zeegalaar nailed? Is Kiko worth the extra 0.2m over him?

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      nailed? - in a way, should start around 90% of games
      Kiko worth extra 0.2m? - no, both are as good as each other, if anything I think Zeeg is slightly better and more attacking, so it's a no brainer to save that 0.2

  21. Legomané

    Schmeichel

    Any news on Morata? I heard today he took a knock in training

    1. Eton Rifles

      nil by mouth the last I heard

  23. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years

    If the two derbys are postponed due to the weather is it very likely that those clubs could join spurs and westham in having a DGW in GW22

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years

      Not necessarily 22

        Can you flag please? I'd like to know the record of the referee in charge of the Arsenal game.

          Bobby is short for Robert. Same guy.

      Bobby Madley

    Ota or Niasse 1st sub?

    1. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Ota

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Ota

    3. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Niasse.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        But he is likely to start on the bench, isn't he?

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Exactly. Could come on for a 1 pointer.

          This is not even close for me. Why aren't you starting Ota?

          1. Dušan Citizen
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            No Komps for us and we are conceding a lot recently. Starting Christinsen, Lowton and Naughton

              • 11 Years

              I'd start Ota over Naughton and Lowton

    Firmino or Vardy? Or other suggestions... have morata and Kane. 10.5 available

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Laca or DCLish

    2. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I'd get King if he doesn't have those 3 fixtures

      Quaner. Go 3-5-2 and invest in midfield.

      Looks good to me. Might be tempted by Jesus > Morata if finances allow though
