Our post-Gameweek members’ article brings a host of midfielders under analysis as we check out some of the standout statistics from the previous round of fixtures.

Chelsea and Man United’s wide men catch the eye, as does a Potters’ playmaker under new manager Paul Lambert, while we also assess some improved performances up front, with Arsenal’s summer signing now profiting from an upturn in pitch-time.

      no

      I don't know, it's a win-win situation for me - Arsenal fan, but also I want a blank in GW28 to mix things up.

      Yes.

      Absolutely 😀

      Like the casual I am ..for the umpteenth time ..what happens if Arsenal win ? 😉

          ManU-Chelsea won’t be blank 28 for sure

            It could be if they drew each other in fa cup and went to a replay, as gw28 would be when the replay was played, so they wouldnt be able to fit the league game in as well. I think the same also applies to man city if they draw in 5th round and need to go to a replay. The caveat is that i may be wrong.

      Hi guys, which move do you prefer

      A) Arnie & Son -> Mahrez & Shaq
      B) Arnie & Firm -> McArthur & Kun

      I am more tempted by B, more risky but more points potential I think

      1. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        A. Both have a chance returning points.

      2. I Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        A

      3. Chazz69

        8 years, 1 month ago

        A

    7. Ramboros

      Does anyone know whether Mkhitaryan was ineligible for today's game?

          Oh there we go thanks

    8. Infamy, Infamy

      If Arsenal win tonight, tempted to activate WC. Have 7-8 players I want rid of and I no longer need to use Free Hit in week 28.

      Any thoughts?

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You will need the free hit in 31 or 35.

      2. Revival

        8 years, 1 month ago

        Nah keep the Wildcard and use before the bigger DGW. You can always take a hit this week and remove 2-3 players who you don't want long-term from your team

    9. BobB

      Reserve keepers out for both sides, otherwise pretty much full strength

      Mkhi dropped

        Injured. With Fabregas.

      3. Chazz69

        Who cares lol

        Chelsea are without Cesc Fabregas (hamstring) and Alvaro Morata (back)

    13. @NF_Janner
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Fab (Elliot)
      Alonso, Christensen, Jones (Robertson Ogbonna)
      Salah Sterling Son Lingard Arnautovic*
      Kane Firmino (Niasse)
      1FT 0.7ITB

      The plan was son -> Mahrez but Arni is now injuried.

      Any ideas? Who is the best Arni replacement?

    14. Sickboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Lingard & Arnautovic to Pogba & Choupo-Moting seem good?

      Can Mkhi play tonight vs. Chelsea or it's against the rules 'cause he already played for United in that competition?

      1. lilmessipran

        Think I will be dumping Chelsea players come GW28 regardless, given they face Utd, Chelsea and Barcelona before a likely blank in GW31.

        1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

        When is Courtois back?

        1. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          From earlier FFS line-up article: Courtois (ankle) is another who will be expected to face Bournemouth in Gameweek 25, with his training ground injury described by the club as “minor”.

          1. HonestBlatter

        Well that was encouraging. Christensen got through a pre match interview without hurting himself on the mic

                  I remember the good. As I swapped to Alonso after that 😉

                    8 years, 1 month ago

                    I think between them my dealings with him Alonso Morata and Haz have cost me a net -50 points minimum

          • Tazah
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            With regards to shaq, I see chuopo as better option.. Cheaper and playing oop... I had him earlier in the season and he was outsourcing shaq...... Why the hype guys?

            1. tm245
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              They are very close on the surface:
              Shaqiri 9 returns from 21 starts, one double figure haul
              C-M 7 returns from 20 starts, three double figure hauls

              So Shaq more consistent, C-M more explosive. Not sure about the underlying stats for different periods of the season, though.

            2. Rik Waller
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Shaq more nailed and new manager might not like Choupo

          • It’s gonna Ben Mee
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I hope this game is settled by penalties and that Haz plays to the very end.

            How good of a prospect is Gudmonsson, based on positive numbers, fixtures? More than, say, someone who mostly sucks? Or actual investment?

            1. Revival
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Burnley have scored 19 goals in 24 games, maybe look elsewhere for more attacking returns

            Alderweireld back -> Return to wingbacks -> Son getting dropped to bench?

              Or Eriksen dropping further back

            2. Naboo
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Why drop the second most in form player in your entire team? Eriksen to fall back

                • 12 Years

                Eriksen is better than Son, to me. Form, no form.

                I Think there is Also usually a blank in 35, right ?

                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 1 month ago

                  35 will be for fa cup semi finals I believe

                    • 10 Years
                    8 years, 1 month ago

                    Which could still mean up to 4 games (8 teams) having to be rescheduled.

                    1. THFC4LIFE
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 9 Years

                      8 years, 1 month ago

                      I reckon it will be 2 or 3 games at max, assuming at least 1 championship side makes the semis

                      1. THFC4LIFE

                  Very good point. Slightly worried myself but can always switch to Azpi the baps monster

                Alonso is poor in defending so don't know how that will play out. Hope Emerson is restricted to cup games

              Thoughts?

              Arnautovic & Pogba > Willian and Sane (-4)?

                  Ibe out of those. Mili’s fixtures very rough if you intend to play him

                Which bench fodder on wc?

                A) Quarner
                B) Crouch

                Playing Doucoure as 5th mid

                    Quaner is a 0-2 pointer. Prefer Crouch out of those.
                    Unfortunately is looks like Niasse won’t get a move either.

                  Can see the Gunners hammer and tongs from the start.

                  Early goal hopefully, playing the half time/full time _Gooner win @ 7/2.

                      Why Mkhi?
                      Not sure to start this week and some tough fixtures after that.

                    Christensen starts so likely benched at the weekend and plays in the PL next mid week? Or is that logic wrong?... he’ll probably only play 58mins anyways though 😆
