Ross Barkley‘s (£5.8m) 17-point haul against Burnley has already made him the top transfer target ahead of Gameweek 11.

At the time of writing, he has been signed by 173,000+ managers as Chelsea prepare to host Crystal Palace.

But is Barkley worth bringing into our teams or is recruiting him for our squads simply a kneejerk reaction to a double-figure haul?

That’s the question we hope to answer with this latest Members’ Article.

    Who to sell to get in Mendy?

    a) Trippier
    B) AWB
    C) Bednarek

    Current team

    Foster
    Trippier-Alonso-Robbo
    Hazard-Salah-Richarlison-Madisson

      A

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Probably A

    2FT and 0.1ITB

    a) Patricio > Fabianski
    b) Walker > Mendy
    c) Patricio & Walker > Fabianski & Mendy (downside being that using both FTs makes it harder to get in Salah or Mane next week)"

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A

  3. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Which one sounds better ?

    1. Hart Trippier to Button Mendy, means keeping TAA
    2. TAA Trippier to Balbuena(Or other) Mendy, means keeping Hart and having no Pool def = also means benching problem 😉

    Current def is Alonso/Trippier/TAA/Doherty/WB

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      1

    2. CRO KLOPP
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      You don't have benching problem in 2 ( WB and Doherty)

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Doherty over Trips

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          If you do option 2 you then play Alonso Mendy and Balbuena or not?

          1. Atimis
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Should be 😉

            1. CRO KLOPP
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              I have same defence with 0.4 itb and 2 ft, could go for Trippier to Mendy but don't want TAA long term

  4. JCrosbie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    ...Quite happy with team but will lose a potential transfer: any suggestions with 0.1m ?

    1. JCrosbie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Fab patricio

      AWB Mendy doherty Alonso Robbo

      Kennedy Salah Hazard Fraser (Masuaku)

      Aguero Arnie Wilson

      You asked this on the last page and I answered it.

                U don't know the meaning of "end " so ha

                Poor comprehension/poor memory/ wasted time checking

  5. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Who to replace Mitro?

    A) Arnie
    B) Murray

    1. JCrosbie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I'd go A

      1. JCrosbie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Murray will go in dry spell

        Whilst Arnie can score against anywhere and out of no where

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Check Murray's stats and you'll go A

      1. Patch
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        You made one transfer already, did you get rid of Jiminez?

    3. Patch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      One week too early...give Mitro one more chance before you break up

      1. Jules Rimet

    Hello guys. What would you do with this lot?

    Patricio
    Robertson, Alonso, Yedlin
    Salah, Hazard, Maddison, Richarlison
    Aguero, Mitrovic, Wilson

    subs: Button --- Doherty, Hojbjerg, Wan-Bissaka --- 2 FT, 0 ITB

    A) Yedlin & Richalison -> Mendy & Murphy
    B) Yedlin & Mitrovic -> Dunk & Arnautovic
    C) Yedlin & Mitrovic -> Mendy & Ings
    D) Yedlin & Richalison, Mitrovic -> Mendy, Murphy & Arnautovic (-4)

      1. Blame it on Traore

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Sorry about that. C for me mate, I think

          1. Jam0sh
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            No problem, thanks

  8. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Sorry to ask again
    What are the best moves you see here?

    Patricio
    Alonso robertson taa awb bennett
    Salah hazard maddison hojberg romeu
    Aguero vardy wilson
    1 Ft
    1.1 itb

    Thinking about:
    Vardy + taa + awb to arnie + mendy + laporte for -8
    Sell aguero or vardy?
    Vardy got great fixtures and aguero's 60 minutes hurts
    Anyone have better idea?
    Thanks

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Don't do a -8

      1. JCrosbie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I'd agree, not worth taking 8 pt hit unless injuries

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Save FT or TAA to Laporte

    3. Toby Lerone
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Fabianski in? I'm thinking of doing that move

    4. Saka Punch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mad to Barkley, TAA to Mendy?

  9. Wolfenix
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Who would be a better GK for the mid-term? Fabiansky or Ryan?

    1. JCrosbie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mid term to long term would be Fab

      Which you don't want to be transferring gk for short to mid term

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not much between them
      Ryan has been fairly lucky to keep 3 cleans in a row so I'd day Flappy

    3. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Fab. Long list of good fixtures.

    4. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Both decent options but Fabianski, I think

  10. Jules Rimet
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Who are you captaining:
    Hazard or Aguero, and why?

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard if he looks like playing because I think he'll score more points

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Aguero. Home game

    3. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Which do you prefer?

      A --- Fraser + Jiminez
      B --- J Murphy + Arnautovic

      Thanks

      1. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        *should have said A is to rotate. B clearly have better fixtures...

        1. Blame it on Traore
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I'd play the fixtures and go B, I think. Maybe wait for an update on Arnie first though

          1. Champ
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

      accidently activated my free hit chip this week

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        It's so annoying it doesn't have a deactivate button like the others

      2. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Easily done. The web page is poorly laid out.

    5. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Got arnautovic already and have Aguero.
      Who's the best sub 7m striker to get for a while?

      1. Jules Rimet
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Very good question

      2. Bullet Eder
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Wilson

        1. Jules Rimet
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Even with Fraser?

          1. Bullet Eder
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            That is more difficult. I have both and am looking at shipping Fraser. Wilson is staying in for sure.

        2. FF Dirtbag
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Even fixtures wise?

        3. Pino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Willson is the best cheap striker. Season keeper for me.

      3. JCrosbie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I have Wilson for next 2, il cross that bridge when I come to it ha,

        Prob mitro if Wilson is not on form

      4. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Murray

      5. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Kamara, go 2 up top

      6. Blame it on Traore
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Probably Wilson. In spite of the upcoming fixtures, he's in sensational form

      7. Toby Lerone
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Jimenez?

        hazard if fit, kun, mendy? dunno, probably others too

      3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        3 city probably

        1. Patch
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Perhaps Sergio, Kun and Aguero

    7. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      TAA + Lacazette out for Laporte + Arnautovic (-4)?

      1. Bullet Eder
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Looks good

      2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        It's a no from me

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

      4. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I'd probably just keep Laca for now

        1. Pino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          If I dont sell Laca O have no founds for Laporte, but I can go for Stones ( cant afford Mendy)

        Martial nailed? Is Arnie fit? I'd hang fire for now

          can’t see Martial to be dropped for a while from now on
          Arnie should be ok, but surely I’ll wait for some news on him

      Thoughts on what to do with this team? 2 FTs and 0.3 ITB.

      Fabianski - Foster
      Alonso - Mendy - TAA - Doherty - AWB
      Salah - Hazard - Richarlison - Maddison - Hughes
      Aguero - Wilson - Ings

      Currently on TAA + Hughes to Laporte + Camarasa or TAA + Hughes + Ings to Bruno + Camarasa + Arnie.

      Thanks guys!

          I'd be doing something involving Kane out.

          Contemplating Salah/Mane/Haz (two 4.5's) in a 5-3-2.

          RAM at the back, Kun/Arnie up top.

          Thoughts?

          Just worked out my GW7/8/9/10 transfers have cost me 16 points taking into account captains and subs. Lol.

          GW7 Fernandinho>Rich (down 4!)
          GW8 Auba>Jimenez & Cairney>Haz(c) *would have (c) Salah (down 4)
          GW9 Mane>KdB (down 13)
          GW10 PvA>Laporte (up 5)

            Other than week 9 they are all sensible moves

              GW9 was to move Mane at cost price of 9.8. He didn't play and dropped. The 0.1 saving allowed Laporte in this week. Shame him and Auba both fired after I'd sold otherwise I think it was all sound. Not to mention the Fernandinho 14 pointer!

          Hows this WC team looking?

          Fab 4m
          Robbo Mendy Alonso Duffy Yedlin
          Salah Haz Pereyra Kenedy Murphy
          Kun Arnie Murray

            Probably wouldn't get Murray. Looks ok

            1. Robbie Slater
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah I'm not 100% sure on him. I know hes taking all his chances at the moment and that can't continue, but struggling to find better for the price and with as good fixtures.

              Any suggestions?

              Could downgrade to 4.3m fodder striker and upgrade Pereyra to Dilva?
