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.

    Otamendi ahead of Daniels?

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      It's close in my opinion. Otamendi has scored quite a few headers this season, however, so that edges it for me.

    3. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

  2. Ambrosiana Inter
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Too much palace too much trouble?
    Curtuois
    Mee,Vertonghen,Dunk
    Loftus,Zaha,Hazard,Alli
    Kane (C) ,Morata Benteke

    1. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Could work

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Good news is they are playing Bournemouth this week... personally don't like Benteke but not many cheap striker options to choose from at the moment I guess.

    3. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Just realized lascelles is fit,so in for dunk

    4. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure why anyone would willingly put Bentekke in their teams

    Opinions on:

    Azpi + Sané --> Christensen + Coutinho (-4)?

    I'm currently leaning toward making the above transfers I think... Christensen looks great for 5.5, and Sané's form has dropped off the last few weeks.

    Hennessey, Speroni
    Azpi, Daniels, Mee, Dunk, Simpson
    Hazard, Salah, Sané, Richarlison, Loftus-Cheek
    Kane, Morata, Niasse

    1FT, 0.0 ITB

    1. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I see what you mean. I do think your hit could be worth it long run

  4. That Fantasy Guy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Hi all

    I don't have a playing keeper and my moves I want to do are for a hit:
    Sane -> Coutinhno and Elliot -> Henessey - 4

    I can also do either one of those moves for free but if any rises/drops from now on I cant do the sane ->coutinho move.
    So do I...

    A. Take the hit
    B. Elliot -> Henessey only
    C. Sane -> Coutinho only

    Cheers

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Is Henessey nailed to play? Just returned to training on Thurs and Speroni was excellent last week.

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        No idea but sounds like he is first choice

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I don't think Hennessey is a guaranteed starter yet.

      I would do Sané to Coutinho for free. Coutinho and Liverpool in great form, Sané's form has tailed off a bit. If I could do it for free I definitely would (and I'm considering it with another transfer for a hit, see above).

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        So youd rather have no keeper than take a hit for a keeper who might not play? ?

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          I'm doing that

          1. That Fantasy Guy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Going with no keeper?

            1. Mini Mane Mo
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 4 months ago

              This...Rolling with Speroni and hope he plays. Elliot is my other GK

              1. That Fantasy Guy
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 4 months ago

                Cheers

    3. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'd do A but to Ramsey or Sterling to be able to afford Pickford/Gomes/Pope

  5. Blue Gaffer
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    1. Gross and Morata to Murray & Hazard
    2. Benteke & Sterling to Quanar & Hazard
    3. Gross, Azpilicueta, Dann and Ottamendi to Hazard, Mbemba, Tarkowski, Rosenoir - 8

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Not dure haz worth so much

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't sell Sterling at this stage, and option 3 is not worth -8 in my opinion. Of the above options I'd go for option 1 I think. I currently own both Hazard and Morata, but I think Hazard looks like the better one to own of the two at the moment.

  6. Ambrosiana Inter
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    What s the beef with morata?

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He is a saussage

  7. DaveZubie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Play 3 from this bunch

    1) Mee
    2) Daniels
    3) Naughton
    4) Duffy
    5) David Silva

  9. Al

    Firmino or Morata?

    1. That Fantasy Guy

      8 years, 4 months ago

      Morata

    2. Magic Bean

      Morata

    3. Rider on the Storm

      Hard to say, same pb

  10. Rider on the Storm
    • 14 Years

    Jesus :
    A out for morata
    B out for bony and get coutinho with a hit
    C keep

    1. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      A - or possibly B with a different striker, but wouldn't get Bony personally

  11. Magic Bean
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    For all you price change predictor geniusus - do you think Sane will drop before he plays Sunday? Could survive no?

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      not really genius to look for numbers around 100

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Not that simple anymore, there have been fallers at 70% this week

        1. Magic Bean
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Exactly, this is the reason I ask. Thanks boss!

          1. Rhinos
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            well I'm clearly not one of the geniuses then

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't be confident he won't drop tonight, 81.5% and 3 red chevrons

    3. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No he won't drop

    4. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I would be shocked if he didn't drop by Sunday.

  12. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Best moves? 2 FT...

    A) Moreno -> Kiko

    B) Vardy -> Firmino

    C) Vardy & Choupo -> DCL & Coutinho

    1. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      C

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers! That's my plan just worried about the Coutinho not training situation

    2. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      A for me.

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks

  13. DementedFlamingo
    • 16 Years

    Just saw on FB that snow could impact Sunday games. Any locals with further knowledge/details?

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      it's unlikely but impossible to say, just depends how icy the pavements are

      1. DementedFlamingo
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Well sort it out by Sunday then 😉 Cheers

  14. Naboo
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Which to play? And what order for bench?

    A RLC
    B Niasse
    C Dunk

    Appreciate any views and insight. Cheers

    1. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      In that order imo

  15. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Bench one:

    Ward
    Simpson

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Simpson

  16. Teror
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Already have Sane. Do I... Pogba >

    A. Sterling

    B. Ramsey

    1. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling for me

    2. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      B - arsenals fixtures are so tasty up until February! And Ramsey has hit great form.

  17. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    With 2 FT should I do Cresswell + Morata > Kola + Firmino or sort out my Elliott/Speroni situation?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Sort out your keeper and then use the 2FT for the midweek games

      1. CrouchDown
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks for reply but unfortunately don't have enough in the bank to upgrade keeper so would need to use 2 FT

  18. BENFICA É MERDA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    1 to play out of:

    Otamendi (mun),
    Duffy (hud),
    Daniels (cry)

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Ota

  19. Rhinos
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    having just googled it I'm fairly confident Zeegelaar is 1st choice lwb now, sure Holebas will get the odd game but that's gonna happen with most wing backs over xmas. Watford's fixtures are so so good, worth the .2 saving over kiko hopefully

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'm looking at one of the for next week but I prefer Kiko

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        *them

      2. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        any reason?

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Go on the lads.

  20. nicecat
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Fabianski / (Elliot)
    Mustafi / Otamendi / Daniels / Ward / (Mbemba)
    Hazard / Salah / DSilva / Richarlison / (Carroll)
    Kane / Morata / (Niasse)
    2FT, 0.2ITB

    Mustafi to Gomez or Kiko?

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Kiko seems more nailed because TAA will start some of the games so I'd go Kiko

      1. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Janmaat says hi

        1. panda07
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          I still see Kiko as being more nailed than Gomez

        2. panda07
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          TAA and Gomez have already been sharing game time whereas Janmaat hasn't had much of a look-in. Can see Gomez and TAA splitting it close to 50/50 over Christmas

    2. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Kiko 🙂

  21. Cadenza
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Am I benching the right players?
    Fabianski
    Gomez Christensen Mustafi
    Salah Silva Coutinho Richarlison Gross
    Morata Kane(C)

    Am I GTG?

    Courtois Elliot
    Alonso Otamendi Tarkowski
    Salah (C)outinho Sterling Richarlison
    Kane Morata Wilson

    Elliot RLC Mariappa Mbemba

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I certainly wouldn't be capping Coutinho after he didn't train today

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers mate but I'm not too worried about that and if he doesn't play I have Kane VC

    2. Drogba Legend
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      G2G, who is your VC incase Coutinho doesn't play? Only other thing would maybe be RLC over Wilson but probably favour Wilson

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I've got Kane VC so I'm not overly worried if he doesn't start. Cheers for the reply mate

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          What if he comes on late?

          1. panda07
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            If he hasn't trained due to injury I reckon he won't play at all. Would you go for someone else as captain?

  24. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Currently benching Niasse and Mee out of the following.

    A) Niasse
    B) Mee
    C) Daniels
    D) Kiko
    E) RLC

    Stick?

    Thanks.

  25. Numb
    • 11 Years

    Just thinking - United would probably be quite glad of the opportunity to postpone the game on Sunday so that it can be rearranged for when Pogba is back from suspension...

    1. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      For sure.

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      How bad is it? Very likely to be postponed?

    3. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      and would give Silva more time to recover. Best make other plans for Sunday tea time then

  26. Drogba Legend
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    G2G to save FT?

    Fabianski
    Azpi - Otamendi - Mee
    KDB - Hazard - Salah (C) - RLC
    Morata - Kane - Crouch

    Elliot - King - Hunemeier - Moreno

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah saving your FT looks a good option. I'd look at upgrading Hun and King over the next week or two before the Christmas rotation starts. Maybe Hun > Kenny
