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

    Main issue is I want Sterling. However I cannot do this easily so shall I wait a week and assess Morata? Plus I think Kenny in for Kiko is needed first.

    Speroni
    Otamendi Dunk Ogbonna
    Hazard Salah Coutinho Richarlison
    Kane Morata DCL

      I don't think that midfield is feasible on a WC

      With so many midfield options, you've got to go a 5 (or minimum 4) in midfield

      I currently have the same forward line as you, and Hazard, Salah, Sterling and Richarlison in midfield.

      Downgrade Bellerin to masuaku and upgrade King

      Almost current form players!
      mee to Ogbonna; pls consider Burnly's hard fixtures and Hammer's DGW in 22

      Meh. I'd change a lot here. 5/10

      3/10

      Rooney -> Calvert Lewin
      Carroll is useless

      I'd go big midfield and wouldn't have Kane on my WC.

  3. Woy

    Aguero (C) locked

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I was happy to see him not play. Now Kane> Kun seems a solid move. I won't make him Capt though. Too much chance he gives 57 mins and Jesus comes on. Good luck.

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He'll probably start, but will he bother scoring? Massively off form

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

      I was considering Kane > Kun (c) but poor form and risk he gets subbed early.

  4. Goat

    why is Lanzini suspended?

    Best combo to replace Tarkowski and Niasse(9.5 combined) with?

    A. Crouch + Ogbonna
    B. Robson Kanu + Ogbonna
    C. Quaner + Cresswell
    D. Calvert Lewin + Mariappa

    Also looking for the most nailed pair
    Cheers

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie

      A/C

    2. Sune

      D

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Well, D is the most nailed pair. Potentially the best option if you can bench Mariappa every week.

      If you need the defender to play, probably Quaner + Masuaku + cash ITB

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

        dont need the defender to play every week, but must be playing if that makes sense

    4. torshov_bulls

    5. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      all kinds of not nailed there. Rooney+ 4.6. So I guess Ogbanno, but Burnley on 3 cs (Iknow fixs).

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        yeah bit of a mixed bag but i cant have 3 non playing bench players

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

    Could use some help if anyone is willing.

    Writing a story for work centred around players on 4 yellow, the suspension tightrope here has 29 players on 4 yellows, the Premier League website has 25, am I missing something? Is the PL site not updated?

    Any help here greatly appreciated.

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

      the 29 include yellows received in league cup too

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

        Thanks mate, all makes sense now! Stupidly forgot that the PL site wouldn't account for the league cup bookings!

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Has the PL website hasn't included the yellows from cups?

      Which players are missing?

    3. TheCurseOfRaheem
      • 13 Years

      Just noticed Rojo should also be on the list.

  10. torshov_bulls

    Kane and Richarlison for Aguero and Pogba? No hit.

    Pogba rested, will surely play most of the Christmas games.
    Aguero fantastic captain option against Bournemouth.

    But have this nagging feeling Kane will explode against weakened Burnley-defense..

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Not the worst idea. I wouldn't do it (and haven't)

    2. Live Lad
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero is only good for one game. He won't start all the games.

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

        Yeah, it's a one-week gamble.
        Arnautovic for Richarlison?

    Well guys:
    plans to get minimum 4 hammers Spurs in GW 22?
    Who will they be?
    Will you be using a chip in the GW?

    I have Kane
    Will get Adrian and Vert next week
    GW22 Erik and maybe Lanzini.
    They have good fixtures until a WC

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

      Kane Eriksen Ogbonna
      Possibly TC Kane

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        TC Kane dangerous 2 games apart

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

      max 3 (too close together)
      Kane, 1 spurs, 1 hammers
      TC Kane if in form.

    3. CL4PTRAP
      • 11 Years

      Thinking of Spurs double def, Vert and Sanchez, Masuaku and Kane TC.

        See above

  15. @fpl_phenom

    This squad worth a -8 ?

    DDG
    Ota Christ Jones Ogbonn

    Morata
    ————————————
    Elliot DCL Quanar Hune

    1. Baz
      • 16 Years

      depends who you bought. If Ogbon or Pogba then no

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

        Kane RLC Richarlison out.

        Quanar KDB Pogba
        In.

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

      Would have to have Morata as a lone striker

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

        With that midfield I’d be ok with 1 Premium striker

  16. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Would you make these transfers for a hit?

    kane bony silva > kun austin sterling

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      with bony and silva perhaps not playing, you would need two transfer ins anyway.
      Can you bring in Austin and Sterling without a hit?

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

        Unfortunately not, would need to fund those moves with another transfer

        1. GOTHAM City F.C.
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Go for it and perhaps consider playing FH during GW22 if you need Kane. I am doing that.
          Any suggestions on my post below?

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

      Could work.

      I really want to get rid of Kane as well. Would have to make a plan how I'd get him back for the double if I decide to go for it (likely Morata out). Austin has looked good but does it make sense to get him and start only in next gameweek and bench for the other 2? Or are you planning to play him against Spurs and United away?

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

        Not sure tbh. Cant see too many other good options to replace Bony, which is why Im considering Austin. DCL is my third striker

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

          Yep, there isn't. I was considering Rashford if I go that route. But Pogba similar price and nailed so bringing Rashford who isn't nailed doesn't make sense.

          DCL/Austin do rotate quite well. Still not sure about Austin, he passes the eye test but his limited minutes is a worry.

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

            Game time a major concern. Even considering Abraham to replace Bony. Swa look terrible but next few fixtures are good

  17. boc610

    wengers demotion of Kola is further proof he has gone full Abe Simpson.

  18. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Too much value tied into Kane bought for 12.4 and valued now at 12.8 - couldn't bring him back for the DGW

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      amen

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

      will drop during blank week

      1. Daniel Exeter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        But still, not enough to warrant taking him out.

        I get the move from Kane to Aguero, but for those who got him in early, I don't see it being feasible

  19. Eze Really?

    Tempted to get Firmino and/or Arnie.

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years

      I feel like if more movement up the ranks is wanted - riskier choices are the way to go now.

  21. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Suggestions please.
    a. would you play Depoitre or RLC?
    b. would you play Gomez or Mariappa?

    DDG [LEI (A)]
    Otamendi [BOU(H)] | Christensen [EVE (A)] | Gomez [ARS (A)]
    Hazard [EVE(A)] | Richarlison [BHA(A)] | Salah [ARS(A)] | (V)Sterling [BOU(H)]
    Depoitre [SOU(A)] | Laca [LIV(H)] | (C)Aguero [BOU(H)]

    GK (3.9) | RLC [SWA(A)], Mariappa [BHA(A)], Duffy*[WAT(H)]

    Thank you!

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

      Both tough calls. I would go with rlc and mariappa

    2. korbendallas82
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A. Depoitre over RLC. Play him when he is hot.
      B. Mariappa. Liverpool away lets in goals, gunners will score. Not so sure about Brighton.

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 8 Years

  22. _Make

    Looks as if Southampton aren't going to have any fit first-choice fullbacks. This strengthens the case for keeping Kane for GW 20.

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

      Bertrand injured?

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

        Well, Scout Tweets say he's a 'concern'. He may be fine by 20 but it's worth monitoring.

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

          Cheers. Big player for them defensively and offensively.

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

      Because Kane is a winger so he will be up against weaker opposition?

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

        This is a completely classic case of overthinking way beyond reasonable doubt.

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

          The fewer first-choice players you have in a team the weaker it is. I think it's perfectly reasonable to believe that missing two of the best players not just from a team but from a defensive unit is going to have a detrimental effect on that team, especially as Southampton have been poor defensively recently.

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

        Do you think this is a logical response or are you just trolling? 😉

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

          Nope. Not trolling at all. I think you are genuinely overthinking things.

          Firstly Bertrand is nothing more than a doubt.

          Secondly Southampton can easily play 3 at the back or Yoshida RB to cover Cedric.

          It will make no measurable difference whatsoever. So basing your Kane in or out strategy with this information in mind would be foolish.

    Hazard -> KDB for my 1 FT... thoughts?
    0 mill in the bank.

    Team at the moment:
    Courtois Elliot
    Monreal Jones Kenny Daniels Duffy
    Hazard Salah Silva Richarlison Loftus-Cheek
    Kane Morata Calvert-Lewin

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years

      aye, steady points and cheaper.

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      With Silva probably out, it is a easy Yes.

  24. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Is the consensus here that Morata will be on bench again this weekend?

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

      I doubt it. Chelsea didn't look very incisive without him.

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

        They did fine without him the last two games

    2. CL4PTRAP
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Said what? Morata must start surely. Watch match for clues I suppose.

    3. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years

      Haven't been here much this week, but i reckon he'd start this weekend.

        Sterling might be the most popular captain pick.

          yep, just saw the captain's poll!

    Mahrez for:
    A) Sterling -4 points
    B) Pogba - 4 points
    C) Hold this isn’t an upgrade

    Rest of my mid is Son, Gross, Richarlison, Doucoure

      Wouldn't do for a hit unless you captain.

    Kane, RLC & Kiko > Firmino, Sane & Masuaku. for a -4
    Can add Maguire to Jones for another -4
