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

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Kenny or Dunk

        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        If I double on WHU, @GW21 I'll have to play with 2 defenders, which is not nice.

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

    about to pull the plug on kolasinic to masuaku following tongihts game anyone got any reason to not do?

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

      No but Ogbonna might be better option to consider

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

        ta gone with masu for extra attacking potential ;p

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

    Niasse to DCL/Depoitre for a -4 or wait till next week to do it for free

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

      ?

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

      If you can wait just wait. DCL vs Chelsea so not expecting much

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

        THats my theory too as I wouldn’t start either of them, hopefully I’ll be able to still afford them both once the FT becomes available, thanks!

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

    There are better big numbers than those for Firmino...

    Last seven matches in all competitions including CL....Six goals and three assists

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

    Jesus plays 120 mins

    Is there not a better time to captain Aguero vs Bournemouth?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      sure, but after that game do you really want him? Aguero is just a tainted option this year and he's not even in good frm

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

        Newca5tle up next...
        Then W6tford

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          And he may not even play 60 minutes in those games

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

        +1 but to be honest knuckles reading your post you really want to do it so go for it or you ll regret it !!

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

          push the transfer button now 🙂

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

          Tempted for old times Sake

    2. camarozz

      It's pep tho so the unexpected usually happens unexpectedly one would expect 😉

  6. DaveZubie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Silva likely to be back for the weekend? (I know we don't know why he's gone, other than personal reasons)

    Would you do Silva -> Sterling for free? (Silva is a differential in my league)

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

      nope

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

    So owners with Coutinho/Salah and no city mids what transfers are you making?

    Who to sell to get city mids?

    A) Kane
    B) Morata
    C) Coutinho

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

      Kane and RLC to Firmino and Sterling for me.

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

      Triple pool might be too much for me

    3. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'm keeping Couts and Salah so probably Kane to Austin and richarlison to Sterling or KDB.

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

    Jones or Smalling?

    1. BRFC1883
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      jones all day long bruv

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

      Went for both to avoid that decision...if pressed I'd probably back Smalling now Bailly is ruled out til Feb

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

        Jones better defender ,

        Smalling will get the odd goal as more attacking threat

        I’ve gone Smalling

    3. shortymak
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      smalling cos of sp danger

  9. Thunder Warrior
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford to:
    A) Austin
    B) DCL

  10. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Looking to get rid of Monreal, but is it stupid? (just don't fancy his chances for CS in the next 4) Thinking of bringing in Jones og Smalling and cash in those 0,2 in SV for Monreal. Would also help me bench Mariappa in next GW.
    1 FT
    0,3 ITB (reserved for Adrian though)

    Team is:

    Courtois
    Otamendi, Masuaku, Mariappa
    Salah, Sterling, Hazard, Zaha, Richarlison
    Firmino, (K)ane

    (Speroni, Monreal, DCL, Klavan)

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

    Austin as a one GW punt? He may score big vs. HUD.

    Then switching him to DCL.

    1. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Don’t use 2 transfers on a one week punt

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

        Think to play my WC now, so it won't be a problem.

    2. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes. I'm getting him in I think.

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

      Shouldnt just be one week, he's a good long term pick

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

        Agree, mate. But I'm going to do this next GW:

        Richarlison, Austin > Pogba, DCL

        Think this way I'm going to win more points.

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

          Go for it. Big Austin fan here though, I won't be dropping anytime soon

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

            I like him too. But think Pogba's the better pick.

            Don't you agree with me?

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

              Not until I watch him over the xmas period. United fan btw, and love Pogba, but straight back from suspension he's only worth getting in over someone who's out of form, I wouldn't be dropping a goalscorer in form just for the gamble. It would completely depend on my position in my mini leagues though I think. Not a bad move and I hope it works out!

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

                Watford aren't in form, so think Pogba is a good shout. Furthermore, Saints fixtures look really bad.

                I've just played my WC and now my team looks like this. What do you think?

                DDG
                Otamendi Christensen Ogbonna
                Hazard Salah Coutinho Sterling(C) RLC
                Kane(VC) Austin

                Elliot Dunk Quaner Long

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

                  You're on your wildcard right now? if so I'd lose Kane to firmino, Quaner to Calert Lewin and RLC to Pogba. I wouldn't be bothered about Southamptons fixtures, the boy gets goals. My opinion. Good luck with the WC.

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

                    Oh... my bad. I've got not RLC but Richarlison. Kept .8 ITB to afford Richarlison, Austin > Pogba, DCL.

                    If I ditch Kane, it won't be a problem to do these moves now.

                    But don't you think that he [Kane] could explode? He has the qualities, god damn...

                    Thank you for the suggestions! 😉

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

                      I think Pogba is a better pick than Kane, but not than Coutinho. I would do the same moves as I'd said even though its Richarlison. Leaves a bit of money in the bank to bring Kane back for 22 in two transfers if needed. Always a worry that Kane will explode but he and Purs are very clearly not in form and so we as managers need to act on that and drop players when required.

    Safe to pull the trigger and do Kolasinac to Jones now?

    1. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      United play tomorrow

      As do Chelsea, what if someone gets injured?

  13. Fudge
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Is Mariappa nailed?

  14. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Any news on Arnautovic injury??

    I'm considering for a hit

    Richarlson ➡ Arnautovic

    One is on the slide. Other on the up.

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

      Came on as a sub in tonights game.

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

        Oh didmy catch up with the football tonight. How did he play?? Would above transfer be wise?? Need a few differentials now I'm afraid and Richarlsons gone off the boil of late.

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

          Didn't*

            • 10 Years

            Was on in the background wasn't really watching. Not for a hit.

  15. FPL Mentor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    RMT

    Gomes
    Christensen Mee Mariappa
    Salah Coutinho Sterling Sanè (C) Shaqiri
    Kane(vc) Austin

    (Elliot, Firmino, Ward, Mbemba)

    Good to go?.

  16. IWR
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Is having 3 DGWers in place now too much?

    Have Son and Kane and want Ogbonna as well.

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

      Get them in now if covered for blank. Kane and Ogbonna and contemplating double up on Masuaku

    2. golly28
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Not if you have cover the week before

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

      Nope. Well placed to end up with six...Make sure you have 3 outfield and one keeper on your sub bench for the blank...

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

    Harry Kane is third highest shots per match in Europe just behind Messi and Ronaldo....just need to start going in now...

  18. shortymak
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Kane to Aguero (C)?
    Ya or nah

    1. golly28
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I was considering it. Not sure though as I think Aguero will be rested at some point

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

        was rested tonight so will start

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Was just about to ask this... looks like a very decent shout! Aguero is pretty much starting all the league games now so I think he’s the deal as a possible massive haul captain and place holder for Kane until GW22....

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

      Kane C for me atm

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

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

    3. golly28
      • 13 Years

      Really worried about Kane and that he’ll go on fire again

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

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

    Finish this sentence, I will be upgrading RLC to...

    1. KDB (already own Sterling + Aguero)
    2. Pogba (no united attack)
    3. Coutinho (own Salah obv)

    1. golly28
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      1 for me. Not sure on Aguero

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Already own him and I’m not taking him out before Bournemouth at home after Jesus has played 120 mins

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

      ...Coutinho, and I will be basking in the glory of my decision forthwith.

  21. DaveZubie

  24. WVA
    • 9 Years

    Masuaka or Agbonna

  25. ooooo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    How would this team look?
    DDG
    Christ Ota Ward
    Haz Salah sterling Pogba RLC
    Kane Firmino

    Elliot Ogbonna Dunk Quaner

  26. GP 50
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    What is going on with Niasse? He went from being most useful Everton asset to being out of the team completely..

    DDG Elliot
    Alonso Mustafi Kabasele Daniels Ogbonna
    Hazard Salah Zaha Richarlison Surman
    Kane Vardy Niasse

    I have 2.0 itb,
    did Vardy-Austin
    plan to do
    gw20 Zaha-Pogba; Richarlison-Silva/Sterling (-4) (Silva if he is back, Sterling if Silva doesn't come back to UK)
    gw21 /
    gw22 Salah-Dele; Surman-Lanzini

    Should I do this and hope Niasse gets some minutes in next few GWs and replace him after gw22 or take a hit to replace him with DCL, Depotrie and lose funds for surman-lanzini?

    1. GP 50
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      actually, 2.0 itb was before vardy-austin, now 4.4

    2. Monkey Hanger

      Is Salah to Dele a joke?

        nah, I know it sounds crazy to put in Dele now..

        I've had Salah for 10 GWs, he was phenomenal, but he's not gonna keep this pace through Christmas and continue until the end of the season, so i want to transfer him out for gw22, get Dele, he's gonna have a burst of few good GWs(hopefully then) and then ship him out as well for Coutinho/KDB, depending on the funds, injuries etc..

        I have +70 in my ML, so I can take a gamble like this to try to increase the lead.

          If it were -70 I'd understand this a little more. What Jay was talking about on the scoutcast was not just any old gamble to increase your lead, but a calculated risk in removing a big hitter who is out of form but COULD find form at any minute. Removing the best player in the game is not advisable at any stage and in any mini league position. Good luck though.

    Didn't get Lingard few weeks ago because of job security but seems like very low risk trade atm

      Was considering Richarlison > Lingard

      Utd with Pogba back will score a lot more and he’s been very good lately...

        That's who I'll be selling as well. I think I've got as much as I need out of Rich since GW3. I jumped off Capoue last season before his points dried up. Feels like similar move

    G2G?

    De Gea
    Ota Kabasele Ogbona
    RLC Sterling Richarlison Salah Hazard
    Kane Morata

    Subs: Elliot, DCL, Daniels, Mbemba

    Kane or Sterling as C?

        Thanks. Hope for a brace from him. How is your team doing.... last 2-3GWs were very bad for my team

          Just red arrows last week , been flying before that, Utd & city conceding late cost me 12 points + bonus’s ...

          I’m considering Aguero in this week for Kane ... not sure yet, might bottle it and roll FT..

            I think that the main reason is that I have bet on Hazard and Morata while people in my league have Coutinho Salah double Alonso some of Dunk and Kenny which has done them too much good. However it only makes it more interesting for me to play the catch game 🙂
