Marcos Alonso (£7.0m) is now without an attacking return in Fantasy Premier League since Gameweek 4.

Despite proving a hugely popular figure, there has been a drop off in his offensive potential in recent weeks.

In this members’ piece, we’ve taken a look at whether or not his owners should be worried about his place in their squads.

    Wrong place..

    Fraser and Wilson for two weeks then for free Neves/Hughes/5.5m and Arnie/Mitro seem ok for a WC?

      Knockaert Hughes Kenedy are who I would look at

      On WC as well and planning may have both of them. Keeping some money in the bank for Wilson -> Arnie in GW11. I can't say I like any of the options in Fraser's price bracket though.

      Sounds good in theory but 2 weeks ( 3 really) is a long time in FPL, good chance you’ll want to make some other kind of change before that double swap.

          This is one of those observations that are taken too far.

          Sané will play when Mendy isn't playing, but that doesn't mean they aren't going to start any games together. Mendy's injury last season occurred in a game where he was starting alongside Sané.

            60 points in the first 8 gameweeks is enough to justify it.

      Mate, tried to tell you on last post last page, TAA is cheaper than PVA so you would not be .6 short as PVA is 5.5 and TAA is 5.2. You can not be short in this situation as the player coming in is cheaper than the player you are getting rid of. You might be confusing the price somehow.

          ohhh I see, thanks mate, I was so confused. Would have helped if he replied back, was only trying to help him. I did not see the ITB part, I thought he was able to get Salah in with 1ft from the way he explained it, so was struggling to work out how he could not afford a player that was cheaper with his other FT.

    should note that Alonso had a long ordinary spell (about 12 GWs) after a bright start last season before refinding his scoring form.People were getting similar pts from Christensen until that Xmas debacle (which i think was when Alonso refound his form)

            It's about the biggest points makers in each position, although I absolutely understand the sentiment. The only reason i really considered Mané in this situation, looking at it critically, is for coverage for those two epic fixtures.

          I agree Liverpool's fixtures are better but City's are great too. If Salah is fit I'm going for him but I'd rather have Sterling than Mane.

          Is that a big enough sample to say they're worse than Huddersfield and Cardiff though? And Burnley were dealing with Europa hangover as well... Don't think there's much between any of them really they're all just cannon fodder for these big teams

              It's apparently a crusade now when you disagree with the consensus and give your reasoning in a couple of ongoing debates :eye roll etc:

              re. the previous post. Yes, it's the last 3 games only. You can ignore HUD and CAR being tighter of late than people are giving them credit for and SOT and BUR being a bit of a disaster away from home if you please. Always looking for edges and I think having teams who have conceded twice as many of late and an additional home fixture gives MCI an edge here

                    Agree it is absolutely no guarantee of anything. But there's an enormous movement towards Liverpool players and we have a ready made player already performing week in week out in sterling. That makes Salah/Mane the gamble for me, given MCI comparible fixtures

                😀 lighten up 🙂 you said yourself that Spurs would struggle to score last week because of CL hangover, but now it's because Cardiff have an improved defence!? Just looking at who did/didn't let goals in in the last few games is a bit simplistic imo.

                  Ok!

                  I'm not just looking at that. There's a huge list of pros and cons. I just think that people have overlooked that MCI may have equally or more favourible fixtures across three games. No need to leap on a questionable Liverpool right now. Can just watch it unfold and in the event they outscore the form MCI players can act on it then

      Having Mendy means Pep doesnt need a left winger at all on the pitch. Playing Delph means someone else is needed for width. Basically Mendy allows Pep to have a single player do the job of 2 players. Hes nailed on for that simple reason. Sane can play with Mendy on the pitch but he is more at risk than when Mendy is out.

              I would not worry too much about TAA game time, it could just be top 6 sides he dropped for. I would be surprised if he suddenly dropped him as he has been playing well. But Robbo the better choice, so yeah if that gets you Robbo and is free I would do it (if all is well with him).

                    I have robbo, however both Scotland games look like they took a toll. He was made Capt and I thought he played awful, in particular today where he was made to look very ordinary. I just wonder if he is tired ?? Klopp team as a whole look a bit leggy but got some great fixtures coming up......

                      Yeah Scotland weren't great from what I saw in first half, but he hasn't got the same level of player around him at Scotland. I think he will play unless injured. He the best option for Pool in that position, and that was Scotland's last game, so plenty of rest. I own him too, so am hoping I am right.

      you can try to get Mendy for Duffy, but that would probably mean losing Dilva, so not sure about that

        Not on a WC, this would be my team after a -4.

        Tbh ill definitely be playing Ryan for the next 5 gameweeks, and if Brighton defence looks like its improving I will probably just do Hen > Button for when Ryan leaves for the Asian Cup at the start of 2019
