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

    If someone said you could have the below team for -8 would you take it?

    DDG
    Otamendi, Christensen, Jones, Masuaku
    KDB, Salah, Sterling, Richarlison
    Kane, Morata

    Elliot, RLC, DCL, Chilwell

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

      Depends what the existing team was but it certainly is very strong.

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

        Mee > Jones
        Naughton > Chilwell

      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Looks beautiful, the only player it's missing is Hazard, but then you can't have them all

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

        Yeah I’m filling that space with KDB - equally as good imo

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

          I agree. Seeing as you have Morata you should be fine enough for the coverage of Chelsea's fixtures

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

            That’s my thinking also

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

            Then I basically rotate between the remaining bench players each week
            DCL, RLC, Masuaku, Chilwell

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

              Looks nice. Good luck 😉

    3. minges
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      very similar to mine so I like it 😉 good luck!

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

        Yeah your team looks great!
        Basically same except

        Monreal & Hazard
        vs
        Otamendi & KDB

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

          made some transfers so now im

          DDG
          Ota Christensen jones Ogbonna (monreal, kiko)
          Hazard Salah Sterling Pogba Richarlison
          Kane (Depo, DCL)

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

      I think people will end up going Morata I've Hazard simply for this reason
      There are options in midfield rather than Hazard, but same does not apply upfront.
      When I lose Kane after 22 I might go Morata Firmino and spend the cash elsewhere.

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

        Yeah Morata is holding that slot done really whereas Hazard can be KDB, Coutinho, Sane etc

  2. Winners900
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Hey looking for a duo tough between Alonso vs Pogba really, bot extremely great options, but cant fit in both.

    So
    A) Alonso+Shaqiri
    B) Monreal+Pogba.

    Really close imo. I think if Pogba perfomes well his price can easily explode 0,5 because of his name and he is Manchester United player.

    Thouhgts on which combo?

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

    Any ideas for this team?

    Pope
    Otamendi, Christensen, Dunk, Tarkowski
    Salah, Sterling, Richarlison, Hazard
    Morata, Kane

    Speroni, Kenny, DCL, RLC

    1FT, 0.5 ITB

    1. Straitpizza187
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Tarkowski to a West Ham defender

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

        Masuaku?

  4. Straitpizza187
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Kola - Jones or Otamendi?

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

      Otamendi

    2. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Jones all day, city defense is a joke.

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Otamendi.
      Attacking potential plus Jones is a walking injury.

    4. AllanM
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Otamendi is as nailed on as they get. Best defender to have over the busy period. Man City don’t concede many chances.

  5. jia you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    If Morata gets booked in the cup, will he be suspended for the weekend?

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

      Yes.

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        cheers, thought as much.

    2. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Batshuayi starting Morata benched or not in squad

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Fair point, Conte will likely wait until the weekend to play him!

        1. Bruno Bruno!!
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Conte confirmed Bats starts

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

      Believe batman is starting

  6. FredrikH
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Cresswell injured or spared vs Arsenal? Wondering over Ward -> him.

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

    Likelihood of Jones rising tonight? I've seen players rise around where he's at

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

      There's about a 1/3 chance

  8. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Just got Rooney in for kane In GW18, considering getting rid as part of a hit.

    Rooney to Firmino
    Silva to Sterling (-4)

    leaves me with the following

    Pope
    Alonso Mee Otamendi Gomez
    Sterling Salah Hazard Richarlison
    Morata Firmino

    Fabianski Gross Niasse Duffy

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

      Why get rid of rooney now?
      Just get sterling in..

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

    Sorry repost from bottom of last page....

    Is Kola relegated to Arsenal B team for cups and europa?
    Is there any chance of him starting friday v pools??

    Masuaku in for:
    A) Kola (bought for 6.2 so drop will affect me)
    B) Kiko (bought for 4.5 so can afford 1 drop)

    TV aside if Kola is likely to play Friday I wud want to keep..
    Any suggestions??

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Wondering about Kola too?

    2. mazkills
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      just ditch kola and free up funds...invest in jones/smalling/monreal later if need be

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

        Other def: alonso / ota / jones..
        So i think i will do kola to masuaku..
        Yes?

        1. mazkills
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I just grabbed Masuaku and he gave me points...West Ham defense looks a good shout. Go for it

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

            Cheers..
            Kola to masu then before kola drops tonight!!

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

    Start DCL (CHE) or RLC (swa)?

    1. mazkills
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Tough call...logic may say RLC, but I'd want to roll the dice with DCL. Chelsea not so impregnable atm, and DCL has form on his side...

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

      RLC

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 8 Years

      RLC

      1. Rainer

      1. Rainer

        DCL it is 😛 TY!

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years

          the best tongue twister ever to greet FPL 😛

    5. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Benteke suspended so RLC might play a more advanced role. Can't see DCL having much success

      1. Fresh_From_Desh
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I'm backing the guy who's just scored a goal!

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

    West Ham or Huddersfield defender and which one?

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

      Westham

  12. Rawslang
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Just finished work so apologies if it's been asked.
    Any price changes due tonight for:
    Silva
    Kiki
    Sterling
    Agbonna?

    Thanks

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

    Naughton out a must this GW or save transfer?

    If so, Smalling or Jones?

    May need to use Silva or Richarlison > Sterling instead...dont want to take -4 on defender.

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

      Time for Naughton to go for me. Getting rid can enable me to do Mee > Jones

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

    A) D.Silva-Sterling-RLC-Salah-Lingard
    Firmino-Kane-DCL

    Or

    B) Pogba-Sterling-Richarlison-RLC-Salah
    Morata-Kane-DCL

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

      Why include 5 the same in both options?

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

      Fixed

      A) Silva Lingard Firmino

      B) Pogba Rich Morata

    3. mazkills
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      basically lingard silva vs pogba richarlison + striker...

      If Silva out this gw then B obviously

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

    Think Aguero Will start vs BOU?

    1. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I think he will start and haul

  16. Gnu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Might sound like an easy answer but option A has decent fixtures and likely to play in them all - B) may get rotated.
    A)Zanka
    B)Robertson.

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

      A

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        For assured starts TSV?

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

          That and the fixtures win it for me

          1. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Cheers.

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

      Robertson might(!) miss 1 game until Moreno is back. Like him as a pick, especially if you'll have cover in GW21 in case he misses that one.

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        21 is the slight worry as I have Ogbonna.
        Other 3 are Ota, Alonso & Fernandez so should be okish.

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

          Hard to find 3 more nailed defenders than that. I'd be tempted by it for the potential upside.

          1. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Cheers.
            one for Robbo, one for Zanka - don't think I'm any the wiser. 😉

            1. bench boost for every gamew…
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Robbo seems fine until Moreno is back, and i suspect that will not happen any time soon. I would go Robbo, Liverpool are actually getting cs a plenty if you think about price, at 4.6 i think he offers great potential. He wil be a tranny out over in the new year but if he gets Swansea (which is highly likely)and Leicester and Burnley i think 2 cleanies is possible. Moreno was said to be out approx 6 weeks, and that was 14 days ago, so add at least 21 days from today. Zanka has nice fixtures but will Hudders keep cleanies?

  17. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Any news on Bony?
    Chances of Abraham getting another run in the side?

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

      Hamstring injury, no chance he makes it in my opinion especially as he has a poor injury history record. I would be highly confident of an Abraham start.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        cheers, that's what I was thinking.

  18. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Pope (Elliott)
    Kiko* Jones Christensen (Kenny, Duffy*)
    Salah Hazard Sterling (c) Richarlison (RLC)
    Morata Austin Kane
    0.7itb 1ft

    What move next?
    Considering...
    A. Kiko to Oggy/Masuaku.
    B. As above plus RLC/Morata to Kdb/DLC for maverick hits.

  19. mazkills
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Once again any news on Silva? Or just eat the price falls and rise and wait for presser, then transfer him to Sterling eventually.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      the longer no news is brought to light the more I would be worried to be honest. Could be worth ditching him before this GW

      1. mazkills
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Front seven of:

        Salah/Silva/Richarlison/Hazard/RLC
        Kane/Firmino

        Silva > Sterling make sense?

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          yep. See what Pep has to say in his presser though, if you are prepared to take the drop tonight

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

          If u do that we will have identical midfields..
          I wud do that..i am on sterling cap now..

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

      Tough one. I’d eat the drop this week if you can and wait for news on Friday. If it’s still uncertain I’d lose him for another City MF.

  20. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Not sure what to do if anything

    DDG
    Otamendi Naughton Ogbonna
    Salah Sterling RLC Richarlison
    Aguero Kane Firmino

    Foster Grob Ward Mbemba

    1FT. 1.2 in bank.

    1 - Save FT
    2 - Mbemba --> Zanka/Schindler
    3 - Grob --> Lingard
    4 - Ward --> Jones
    5 - Ward --> Christensen

    1. *Reformed-Character*
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      4 or 5 flip a coin

  21. FredrikH
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Kane + Ward -> Aguero + Otamendi. Already have KDB. Too much a risk with Aguero? Thinking til Kane DGW.

    1. Postman Ty
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't be getting Aguero in, especially not for Kane. At this point I'm just holding Kane as an explosive differential. Might reevaluate after the double.

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

      Selling Kane away against depleted Burnley defence? I have the C on him atm

    3. *Reformed-Character*
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku and ota instead ? I like either move to be honest

  22. *Reformed-Character*
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on Kane rashford hazard to lukaku debruyne Morata -8 ?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      3 good players out for 3 good players. Who knows how it'll turn out

      1. *Reformed-Character*
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Not sure I put rashy in the good category 🙁

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          its a difficult one. When he starts, he's one of the best strikers in his price bracket, but 4 Gws in such a short space of time, I would probably agree with you, he doesn't look the best option in the short term. Kane's next 3 look like he'll be lucky to reach 10 points on recent form , and there's Hazard. No doubt he'll be in the points in the next 3, still prefer him as an option compared to Morata

          1. *Reformed-Character*
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Agreed on all those points, hazard needs to stop mucking around with these fancy flicks! I do rate de Bruyne as a better fantasy asset

      2. *Reformed-Character*
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks for the input by the way

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

      No way for -8 IMO.

      1. *Reformed-Character*
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks, I'm blinkered by believing debruyne is absolutely essential. Thoughts on hazard to debruyne for free ?

  23. Blue Devils
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Please help guys. i really can't make up my mind ...

    Pope (Elliot)
    Jones, Mustafi, Gomez (Naughton, Mariapa)
    Salah, Zard, Sterling, Richarlison, (Will Hughes)
    Kane, Morata, RLC

    2FT, 1.3 ITB

    A: Richarlison, Pope to Pogba, Adrian
    B: Naughton, Elliot to Smalling, Adrian
    C: Naughton, Mariapa to Smalling, Masuaku

    (C) was my original plan but i have few new concerns...

    - Pope fixtures turn very ugly while adrian's superb (including DGW)
    - Richarlison might miss out this weekend game as his grandma passed away...

    Appreciate your comments

    DSilva & Naughton > Sterling & 4.4 West Ham?

    Shoot now before any price change risks in half hour?

    Best trio?
    a) Alonso Jones/Smalling Sterling
    b) Christensen Jones/Smalling KDB
    c) Christensen Jones/Smalling Sterling + 1.8 ITB

    Also who's more locked?
    Jones or Smalling?

    Any stats for De Bruyne in the absence of Silva?

    Wondering if he would be even more influential in attack, or more likely to be marked by defenders to cut off supply.

    Captain?

    DDG
    Azpilucueta Otamendi Ogbonna
    Salah Shaqiri Haz RLC Richarlison
    Kane Kaku

      Salah, Kaku or Haz? Kaku will score but one of theother will get higher but also chance of nothing so i would go Lukaku.
