We delve into the Opta data next, rolling out our usual post-Gameweek members’ article.

Both Merseyside clubs play a part in our assessment, while we also check out the contrasting fortunes from West Ham and Watford’s goal scoring midfielders.

Southampton’s in-form frontman is also among our featured players, as is a certain Man City wide man after a weekend return to the scoresheet.

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

    Why are people selling Kane?! I get that Burnley can defend well, but Tarkowski MIA?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Ward, lowton, Heaton, mee....

      They've all gone missing but still getting clean sheets.

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Havent shipped more than 1 at home the whole season. Mee back, Ward might be. 13 mil a lot for a player you probably wont captain in the next 2 followed by a blank.

      1. gwitbrock
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Only played one top 6 team at home though. I'm on board with dumping Kane for next three btw just def always a worry he'll just decide to bang 2 or 3 in.

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Always a worry but cant win if you dont risk it.

      2. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I'm definitely captaining vs. Burnley. Going to be a shots on target fest

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          It always is with harry. Just need some to go in.

        2. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Pope probably getting another 11 pointer, yeah. Cant see other than a City captainer myself.

    3. Stockport Hatter
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Almost 13m with an output worth around 7.5m maybe??

    4. bennyp
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      The week you think Kane won't score is the week he will....

  2. Emp
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    anyone know what the story with the huddersfield strikers is ? is there a first choice between de Poitre and Mounie?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Wagner said he's lucky to have two no. 9s and both will be needed over the busy period. So both rotation risks imo.

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      There isnt.

  3. AF90
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Play Gomes or Foster?

  4. Ed
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Masuaku or Ogbonna?

    1. estheblessed
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I did ogbomna

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Kenny

    3. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Oggy

  5. istanbul05
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Kane, RLC to Firmino, Sterling (-4)? Yay or Nay?

    Fabianski,
    Otamendi, Jones, Mee,
    Haz, Salah, Cout, Richarlison, RLC,
    Kane, Morata.

    Subs: Elliot, Niasse, Kenny, Mbemba.

    1. estheblessed
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      You definitely need one city mid.

    2. Cityzen Kane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Very similar to mine.. So I'd say go for it

    3. istanbul05
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Only concern would be triple Pool...

      1. Cityzen Kane
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yep.. That WBA game was a killer but then look at BOU game. Swings and roundabouts with them

  6. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Anything worth a -4 this week?
    Have £1.3m ITB

    Fabianski
    Bellerin Otamendi Ake
    Salah Ritchie KDB Sterling
    DCL Kane Firmino

    Elliot Carroll Tarkowski Zeegalar

  7. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Would you get Depoitre or DCL, Depoitre slightly cheaper and better goal threat or DCL better security of starts?

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      DCL easily

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'm getting both, with Kane

    3. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      DCL

    4. The Dribbler
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      DCL

    5. hogree
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I gambled on Depoitre but DCL much safer

    6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Depoitre has the better Fixtures I’m looking at him, feel I may of missed the DCL train

  8. The Dribbler
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Hi folks, do I

    A: take a hit for Silva to Sterling
    B: take a hit for Daniels to Masuaka
    C: save

    Courtois
    Jones, Kabasele, Naughton
    Rich, Silva, Cout, Haz, Pogba
    Morata, Firm

    Elliott, DCL, Mee, Daniels

    0 FT, 1.1 itb

    1. estheblessed
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I just did a)

  9. Chop1234
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone know if silva is back anytime soon?

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      See tweets

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years

      No one.

    3. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      If Silva was back it would probably be on the Hot Topics just so you know in the future

  10. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    likely or not that kane will play both of these dgw games ?

    thanks 🙂

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Likely.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years

        thank you monkey

    2. Ram sey Coq uel in
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Personally I can't see harry playing both these games, they're only two days apart for a start and also llorente going back to Swansea, surely he will play most if not all that game and save harry for West Ham

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

    Best striker with budget upto 8.4mil?

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Roo

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

        Nasty fixtures though right?

  12. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Are Holgate and/or Chillwell to be considered nailed?

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Don't get nailed for that money.

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        disagree, Dunk / Ogbonna / many others nailed for that price range...

        1. Monkey Hanger
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Picking hairs I know, but they are slightly more expensive. No one 4.3 or less nailed imo.

    2. gwitbrock
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Both somewhere around 75-80% I'd say. Getting very hard to call anyone truly nailed nowadays to be fair though. Think Kenny more nailed while Coleman out, and Chilwell def more nailed than Fuchs right now, and rightly so.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Chilwell played AML behind Vardy last game

        1. gwitbrock
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Yes has played at left midfield two of the last 3, played left back the game before last. Played left wing back tonight with Fuchs at LCB. What I said was nothing to do with that. Puel likes him and he's playing well so imo he will find a way to play him at least 75-80% of the time on current showings, and one of Fuchs/Albrighton/Gray will be the ones to miss out when he does, depending on the formation.What's your point? That you think he will play every single game?

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I don't think Holgate is nailed. Keane was injured so maybe he comes back but who knows what Big Sam wants

  13. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Sacrifice one...

    A) Coutinho

    B) Morata

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      B

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      depends for who really ?

    4. estheblessed
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      That's easy b)

    5. QueefParkRangers
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      b

    6. gwitbrock
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      If you have Coutinho and are thinking about getting rid of him you are playing this game all wrong, it's as simple as that.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        mmh i wouldnt go that far. I have him and will replace him with sterling in order to upgrade richarlison to pogba. never intended to get coutinho long term to be honest

        1. Pigeon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          then you're thinking wrong

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            why ? pogba is nailed and united fixtures are awesome he will get as many points as coutinho and sterling is more essential every gw that goes by. if i played with a midfield 5 i would try to get coutinho but with 4 I cant have them all unfortunately 🙂

            1. Pigeon
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              as a United fan, I think Coutinho will get more points

        2. gwitbrock
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          The only scenario in which it becomes a viable option to dump coutinho to get pogba in is if Pogba comes in firing for the next three fixtures and Coutinho has a significant drop in form over those three. Even then it would be a punt though. Doing it now is like dumping your great, beautiful girlfriend because you think she might start get fat or start cheating on you next month. Sorry fat people, just a silly example 😉

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            see you point but i ll take the gamble, I want sterling and pogba end of 🙂

            1. gwitbrock
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Anyway obviously my answer to your question would be Morata for sure 🙂

              1. gwitbrock
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                *his question. the question. whatever.

    7. Ghost86
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I’m in the same situation need to get rid of one to get a city mid

    8. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I flogged Morata after owning one week to get Hazard few weeks ago. Only got because of fixtures but he's really not great value

  14. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    A) Kane + Coutinho

    b) Haz + Firmino + 2 mil

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      B) sounds better.

      I have Kane, Haz, Cout

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I have those 3 too

  15. schmileyg
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Surely it’s a straightforward Kane - Kun followed by Kun - Kaku the following week?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      on paper yes....but aguero hasnt exactly hitting top form has he ?

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Why would you want out of form Aguero with a slight injury or Lukaku against Burnley?

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        It's not Burnley though....it's half of Burnley defensively speaking...

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          As was the case this past few weeks. Still conceded only 1 in the last 4 games.

        2. Monkey Hanger
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          If Ward is out you can argue it is one fifth.

      2. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Because he was furious at being subbed last week and will be fired up to put in good performance against poor defensive team. Due brace if not hat trick

        1. schmileyg
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Lukaku will have 3/4 home games in a row

          Aguero will get a full game and against a team that will have to field have a team tomorrow and will be demolished on Saturday following that!

          Seems a no brainer to me.

          Followed by a free hit on the DGW to bring Kane back in for then!

          1. schmileyg
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            And pogba back will change the game for Lukaku

  16. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    DDG, Christensen and Hazard should be rester tomorrow, right?

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure about DDG but the rest yes

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I'm thinking DDG will too.

    2. estheblessed
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes. Romero will play

  17. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Are Pope/Elliot owners just holding out for now?

    Hoping Pope can get some saves over the next 2 and then Elliot's fixtures are okay.

    I know longer term I need to change but hoping for the best right now.

    1. gwitbrock
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Oh yeah you're fine to hold if no other issues. Adrian in for Pope is an option though, good next two then Elliot has Brighton at home for the blank week. Frees up a little cash too

      1. gwitbrock
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        *I mean if there ARE other issues, I guess

    2. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Pope is fire and forget

  18. MidasBoys XI
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    In the likely hood that David Silva misses next game who is likely to play instead of him?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Gundogan/Toure/Bernardo.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Any one of 5 or 6.

  19. 824545201

    Aguero will score 4 goals against Bournemouth. Bookmark this. Don't @ me.

  20. Give The Todd Some Love

    Safe to do Kolasinac to Ogbonna?

  21. estheblessed
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    G2G:

    Pope // Elliot
    Ogbonna, Azpil, Otamendi, Kenny // Ward
    Salah, Sterling(c), Hazard, Richarlison // Surman
    Firmino, Kane // Niasse

  22. Jolly Good
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Zaha vs Swansea or Pogba vs Leicester ?

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Zaha.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      pogba by far !!

    3. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      1-1 so far. Both are away games if that matters.

      Have my mind set on zaha -> pogba but feel like I should wait a game given Swansea look shambles. Plus gives me additional flexibility in case next GW throws up additional surprises or injuries

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        i see your point good luck 🙂

  23. Moses _H
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Help appreciated guys. Is -8 a lot to make these 3 changes to ur team?
    Ramsey --> KDB
    Gross --> Sterling
    Kane --> Firmino

    1. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Changes look good, but you will want kane back for gw22

    2. gwitbrock
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I like it.

    3. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Its fine but you need a plan to get Kane back

  24. Football Rambler
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Thinking Mahrez > Sane for a hit.

    Should I do it? Already have Sterling

    1. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      yes

    2. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yup, I prefer clarity on silva as he is more nailed when back

  25. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Kane to Aguero?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yup with route back to Kane week 22

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      knuckles kane....morata....coutinho...how many top players are you trying to get rid of ? 🙂

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Hahs maybe none by the end of it all

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          i wouldnt trust aguero to nbe honest. if it s to get a city mid (assuming sterling) then transfer out coutinho

  26. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Smalling or Jones?

    Thinking Smalling as less injury prone, more attacking and with Bailly out possibly more nailed. Against Jones perhaps more baps.

    Which would you get and why

      Jones more nailed & more BAPS, but Smalling is not made of glass and does attack on corners and such. 50/50
