We take our regular look back at the Premier League line-ups from the weekend just gone, analysing the systems and personnel used by the 20 top-flight clubs and seeing what lessons could be learned ahead of Gameweek 6.

The article has taken a slightly different format this week as we harness the use of the average position maps in our Members’ Area.

The figures in brackets given after each player name correspond to the numbered shirts in the position maps.

Members can read on for further analysis, while those wishing to subscribe can still do so by clicking here – memberships cost £17.50 for the remainder of 2019/20 and a video of the benefits can be accessed here.

    Who thinks Mendy will play instead of sterling against Watford?

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      Some idiot will

    2. n-doggg
      • 14 Years

      Instead of sterling?!

    3. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      That would be a pretty strange move

      1. Zimo
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Indeed. But still quite possible. Zinchenko might be moved up and Mendy as fullback. Sterling definitely needs a rest.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      Jarvish knows

  3. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 22 days ago

    Di Maria in the mood!

  4. Miguel Sanchez
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 22 days ago

    Di Maria 2-0 PSG

  5. n-doggg
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 22 days ago

    Greenwood, Mount and digne
    To
    Tammy, Cantwell and Pieters

    Worth -8?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      Not sure about losing Digne before SHU and Mount might not be out that long. no from me

    2. My name is an echo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      That looks horrible

    3. james 101
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      Nope

      1. n-doggg
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 22 days ago

        Common sense prevails

  6. The Overthinker

    7 years, 22 days ago

    Fpl chef's account hacked and the hacker took a lot of hits

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      Who or what is an FPL chef?

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 22 days ago

        Their cook mate. It’s obvious.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 22 days ago

          You're right. Should have known.

    2. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      literally who?

    3. james 101
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      There’s definitely a use of chips joke in there somewhere too...

  7. Jones Kusi
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 22 days ago

    Which transfers would you recommend?
    2 FT 0.7 ITB

    Heaton Button
    Robertson VVD Montoya Digne Kelly
    Salah Sterling KDB McGinn Dendoncker
    Pukki Haller Greenwood

    1. My name is an echo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      Time to lose a Pool defender

      1. Jones Kusi
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 22 days ago

        And do what?
        I am considering to bring in Ota now when Stones is injured. They also got good fixtures.
        Or maybe a Burnley defender and upgrade somewhere else

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    what a goal by bale

    1. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      Will be ruled out

  9. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 22 days ago

    Lol @ Real Madrid

  10. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 22 days ago

    The way they're playing, my Dinamo Zagreb will absolutely annihilate Man City

  11. Moderately content penguin
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 22 days ago

    The top ten of FFS league is fascinating - one Salah Sterling combination only. Duopoly is not the only way to go!

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      Chips have also been used.

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 22 days ago

        By the fpl chef, presumably.

      2. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 22 days ago

        But there again I imagine quite a few Salah Sterling teams have used chips.

        Obvs Sterling last week affects things but the necessity of that particular pairing isn’t just possibly absolutely necessary? Lots of Mane and KdB (less than Sterling last week) in there.

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      Maybe but playing all your chips it the first 5 weeks as I assume they have ain't wise either

  12. Miguel Sanchez
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 22 days ago

    Ridiculous goal by Bale 2-1

  13. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 22 days ago

    High foot and hand ball, poor Bale!

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 22 days ago

    Disallowed

    Alright everyone.

    I’m one of the admins for a fantasy specific whattsapp group. It’s a mixture of high quality articles, RMTs and general nonsense (much like this site).

    We’ve just had 3 openings come up to get the numbers back up to where we want them to be. Since I joined the group my OR has been consistently better for the past two seasons, if you’re looking to improve your rank, meet some new people and have a laugh feel free to apply.

    If you’re interested send me an email at simonalcroft@outlook.com With your name, age, team you support, where you live and include any recent fantasy articles you’ve put together (these don’t need to be current; anything you’ve done in the past will do) along with anything else you think will help your application.

    Thanks

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      You have to apply? 😀

      Criminal record checks ?

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 22 days ago

        Don’t give him ideas

        No way they’d get 3 candidates from here if that were the case

    3. Defcons are for Kinnear

      Is there an interview too. I can't do Tuesday evenings as I play squash

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 22 days ago

        Is “play squash” code for “doing a bank job”

        1. el polako
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 22 days ago

          Maybe hand not bank.

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      Can't think of anything worse than whatsapp buzzing all day with RMT's and Scotty A and B questions . Oh I can...having to apply to get into such hell 😆

    Handball law needs re-wording!

  17. LIARS POKER

    Thoughts on this 3-5 heavy midfielder WC team (would do it next week) - 0.6 itb left over

    Pope - Button
    TAA - Soyuncu - Tomori/Mings - Lundstram - Rico
    Sterling - Mane - Son - KDB - Cantwell
    Pukki - Abraham - Greenwood

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    If it was in the pl that would have stood

    VAR officials too scared to over rule anything

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 22 days ago

      VAR was right there.

      The rule is he handballed it, ref missed it, VAR got it right.

      VAR not the issue with this one, the law is.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 22 days ago

        Thats right but in pl the refs would more likely not even consult VAR as has happened so often this season

        At least the ref took a look at the replay. He ruled it out as that's the law. Important thing is he had a look
