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 7.

As was the case last week, we are harnessing the use of the average position maps in our Members’ Area and highlighting some of the key stats from each game.

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

    Really looking forward to the Chelsea run of games with the Mount and Tammy double up. Havent been able to enjoy their attacking displays so far as I havent owned any of their players but thats changing now 🙂 Maddison and Haller out.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Fair. Will probably join you soon. Almost falling into a punt on Perez. Desperate to lose James this week but want to bank the 2nd FT for I imagine more important things. So sorry about you having to lose Maddison 🙁

  2. Calafiornication

    Any news on Mane ?

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Back In training tmoz I read mate

    2. COYS Down Under
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Looking for the same.

  3. GreennRed
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Is Zinchenko definitely done as a nailed on City player? Just gonna go Otamendi but if he's good for another week I'll use FT elsewhere.

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Want to know the same. However, I made a mistake... so I’m stuck with Zinchenko and Digne for one more GW at least.

    2. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      im wondering the same. i hate those sideways moves so putting off zinc to ota

    3. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Definitely done as a nailed on option

      I don’t think he’s over though , will get starts including I think this weekend
      Just make sure bench is strong and potentially have to sell him soon

    4. GreennRed
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Cheers lads. I have spare cash but Otamendi looks most nailed on back. Zin dropped to 5.5 and Ota up to 5.5 now. In a week could be 5.3 and 5.7. No point in wasting 0.4m.

    5. Mr.SHaMBLes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      I didn't want to risk it so I downgraded to use the Cash elsewhere

  4. iL PiStOlErO

      B

    2. Follyfarmer

      So pukki or maddison then?

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Yes and just cant decide. Didnt own Pukki before, but leaning more to Maddison with those fixtures.

      2. Bggz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        lol i was playing spot the difference

        id go maddison now

        1. iL PiStOlErO
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          Thanks and I hope it will work if going with Maddison

    CHO is back

    Be interesting to see what happens here

    Lamps seems to absolutely love Mount - 90 mins every game - so Mount, Tammy, CHO attacking 3?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      For sure very soon. Willian/Pulisic/Pedro in there over Kovacic when they want to go for it. Mount super safe it seems then it’s just a case of 2 of CHO and who I mentioned above. I think your 3 is correct 90% of weeks though

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        CHO at 5.9 could be ridic value

        Mount has been unreal and is portably underpriced at anything up to 7.5 - but CHO should be every bit as good if not better

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          Mount’s playstyle screams FPL gold just haven’t had the chance to get my hands on him yet. CHO’s not so much just yet but if mount’s price skyrockets he’ll be a good alternative or double up option

        2. arndff_
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          If you have to choose between Mount and CHO, who would you pick?

          My plan is to do: Dendo to Mount (-4).

    2. DeathoftheParty
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Gunna have to go after dem goals... Cause they cannot defend.

  6. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    My current squad:

    Pope (Button)
    TTA, Otamendi, Lundstram, Kelly, Montoya
    Sterling, Salah, KDB, Mount, Cantwell
    Abraham, Pukki, Barnes

    Which change should I consider next?

    1. FPLShaqiri
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Looks like you could use a better defender for this week, as I guess Kelly is starting for you. If you're happy to remove Sterling to Son, you could make an upgrade, but your team looks very nice. Montoya to Tomori could also work

  7. FPLShaqiri
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Struggling a little bit this week to decide what the priority should be. I have 2FT and £0.6 ITB

    Pope
    AWB Otamendi Maguire
    Cantwell Mané Mount KDB Sterling
    Kane Pukki

    Button Montoya Wickham Lundstram

    Players I am considering removing are AWB, Maguire, Kane and Wickham (price dropping).

    If you're wondering why i have double MU defence I was one of the GW3 wildcarders, and tbh they've kept as many CS as Liverpool and 1 more than Everton over last 4 weeks so it's gone ok. But it was always a 4 week play-the-fixtures type of risk... and now the 4 good fixtures are up. Obvious thing for me would be AWB+Mag to TAA+4.5 (probably Tomori).

    It does however feel like Abraham time. I've been patient with Kane, and he's got a return in the last 3 so not in a massive rush, although I do think his low xG suggests he's been lucky, and ignoring Augero/Auba could have gone much worse than it has.

    So boring defender transfers or something more creative, maybe involving Kane or Wickham? Or even Sterling, although my gut says hold, there is obvious reasons to drop him, plus price is dropping.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      AWB and Maguire gotta go. Downgrade and use that money up top.

      1. FPLShaqiri
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        As in upgrade Wickham? The issue with that is that it would mean benching Cantwell which I'm not sure I want to do most weeks.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          No. Just do it slowly. I meant move the funds from defense to midfield + attack.

    2. lespaul
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      So shaqiri can't even get a game in the coca cola cup now ?

      1. FPLShaqiri
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        The man is injured, he'll be back

        1. lespaul
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          Oh is he

    3. MTPockets
      7 years, 14 days ago

      I wouldn't want 2 mun defs. Kane gets a lot of stick but tbf he's getting returns and fixtures are ok

      1. FPLShaqiri
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Cheers - yeah that's what I was thinking with Kane. Just needs one chance or a penalty and he's probably getting bonus too. Looking at fixtures I might target GW10 vs Liverpool as the week I remove him. My team is kind of dictated by the GW3 wildcard - I couldn't resist Kane with Newcastle at home...

    4. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      downgrade kane to auba and get tammy?

      1. FPLShaqiri
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Interesting use of the word downgrade

        1. Bggz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          theyre the same price! shows how much interest ive had in kane. assumed he was 12 ish

          1. FPLShaqiri
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 14 days ago

            He's a bargain this year 😉

    5. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Think Cantwell Pukki week in week out is a stretch. Away form is looking worrying.

      I'd keep Kane for now and perhaps move onto Vardy from him in 9. Still lots of firepower.

      But with that itb I'd just get TAA and your choice of budget defender from the two Uniteds.

      Then in 9 Kane can become Vardy and you can upgrade Cantwell or Wickham perhaps

      1. FPLShaqiri
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Cheers! Cantwell is rotating with Lundstram/Montoya, but I think it’ll be Cantwell most of the time. Feel like I’m missing the Abra train a little, but agree removing Man U defence is the priority. Hopefully Kane can match or outdo Abra. Will revisit Kane in week 9/10

  8. I Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Feeling fairly settled on this WC draft now so go ahead and rip it apart.

    Pope, Button
    Alexander-Arnold, Otamendi, Soyuncu, Lundstram, Rico
    Sterling, De Bruyne, Son, Mount, Dendoncker
    Firmino, Abraham, Pukki

    0.8 ITB

    1. LSK
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Nothing to rip apart. Firmino over Salah and Mane is a risk but he’s in form and allows upgrades elsewhere

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        This

    2. Doctor Evil
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      I like this a lot

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Basically my team but I have Mane, Aguero and Cantwell instead of Firmino, Sterling and Mount.

        I also have Digne but I think I prefer your team

  9. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    This set up look good for weekend?

    Pope
    TAA Otamendi Van Dijk
    Salah (c) Sterling De Bruyne Mount
    Abraham Pukki Greenwood

    McGovern Cantwell Rico Diop

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      One of my favourite teams i’ve Seen for this GW until I saw greenwood. Any of your bench over him and it’s up there with the best.

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Cheers will probably play Cantwell!

    2. GreennRed
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Cantwell in for Greenwood?

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks- Yes probably sensible to play him

    3. LSK
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Yep good team but I wouldn’t play Greenwood

    4. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      g2g

  10. King H
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Digne to Rico
    Dilva to Mount
    Greenwood to Abraham

    -8 do I do it ? Will leave me like this ..

    Pope
    Trent Aurier Rico
    Salah Sterling Kdb Mount
    Wilson Barnes Tammy

    Button Cantwell Lundstram Kelly

    1. Soto Ayam
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Is Rico guaranteed? I'd keep Digne rather than lose 4 points on a maybe. Dilva not really necessary as have cantwell on the bench,. Just keep your ft and have 2 next week?

  11. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Andy's latest youtube video talking about the fallout of his team being hacked and how he is going to deal with 90+transfers being made by the hacker.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BPG2uOoM9I

    Fair play to him for trying to be positive about how he is going to proceed from here.Hopefully he can use his skill to make the best of a bad situation.

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      oh 5hit, maybe hes reusing his pw from other sites. 2FA for EPL!

    pukki - vardy
    button - greenwood - lundstram - cantwell
    2 FT 0.2 ITB

    im in a quandry
    i want abraham but would have to lose Vardy to get him
    id like Mount and happy to lose James but im .3 short
    im ok to lose Zinc for someone like diop, even the Leicester def

    what do i do?
    abraham is the priority over the rest

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Guess you have to decide btw Vardy and Abraham
      Think I'd do something like James/Zinc to Mount/4.5m def this week

      1. MTPockets
        7 years, 14 days ago

        or if desperate for Abraham - James to 4.5m, Zinc to cheapo, Greenwood to Abraham
        But involves a hit, and looks like James isn't flagged any more

        1. Bggz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          .1 or 2 short for that but thanks

          think i might put it off - so zinc to ota so i dont waste a ft and see how vardy gets on

          1. Bggz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 14 days ago

            wondering how the maddison injury might affect vardy too

  13. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Any injuries tonight?

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Don't think so.

      I can not remember anyone of fpl significance having any problem anyway.

  14. Mr.SHaMBLes
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Evening all. Is VVD to TAA worth a hit?

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      No

      1. Mr.SHaMBLes
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks 🙂

  15. Flynny

    Hi. Am I good to go here? 0ft 0mitb... just need to decide on captain...

    Pope
    Vvd ota soy (guilbert rico)
    Salah (c) sterling kdb James (Cantwell)
    Haller abraham pukki

    Thanks

    1. LSK
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Yeah gtg. Keep it on Salah imo

  16. LSK
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Already taken a -4 so is this gtg? Not worth getting rid of AWB for a hit when he has Newcastle next. I’ll switch him to a 4.5 after the international break.
    Pope
    Otamendi VVD AWB
    Salah (c) KDB Anderson Mount
    Pukki Aguero Abraham
    Button Cantwell Lundstram Dunk

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      gtg
      and when you get rid of AWB maybe you can upgrade Anderson if he doesnt hit form

      1. LSK
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Cheers. Yeah I’m planning AWB and Anderson to Soy and Maddison after the international break, leaving enough to do VVD to Trent if I have no pressing issues the following week.

        1. iL PiStOlErO
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          Nice plan

  17. Talkaboutluck
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    2FTs to boot

    (A) Ceballos + Sterling -> Mount + KDB
    (B) Ceballos + Haller -> Mount + Barnes

    Currently have Tammy and Aguero as my other forwards.

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      B

    2. GreennRed
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      A

      1. Talkaboutluck
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks guys. Was thinking about it. Would you fancy instead

        Ceballos + Haller + Sterling -> Son + Mount + Vardy for a hit

        Leicester vs Newcastle looks tempting

  18. aspilcueta
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Really struggling this week lads. Too many players I want to bring in.

    Adrian
    Digne - TAA - Zinchenko - Otamendi - Lundstram
    Salah - Sterling - Mount - Pepe - Douglas Luiz
    Barnes - Haller - Greenwood

    I want KDB, Son, Auba, Alonso & Firmino. Not sure about order of importance.

    0.3 ITB. 2 FTs.

    Thoughts?

    1. aspilcueta
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      I want out with Digne, Barnes and Haller, and probably Zinchenko although I think he will play this week.

      1. LSK
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        The players you want rid of are cheaper than the ones you want to bring in though. I think Digne to Alonso is the only one you can afford?

        1. Warby84
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 14 days ago

          Pepe to Son Digne to Alonso

          1. aspilcueta
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 14 days ago

            I’d like to keep Pepe. He’s outshooting everyone bar Aguero.

            I’m game to downgrade Sterling or Salah if necessary.

            1. Dthinger
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 14 days ago

              He's way too expensive

              1. aspilcueta
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 14 days ago

                I’m not sure he is. He will point more once he gets his rhythm. He’s on set pieces too, and playing further forward than Auba.

                1. Camzy
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 16 Years
                  7 years, 14 days ago

                  I reluctantly sold Pepe this week for Son. Fixtures are better for Son. And raw comparison has Son on top as well. I gave Pepe 2 weeks and he didn't do enough for me. I'm welcome to switch back again at some point, but the next 3 are clearly better for Son and bagging that price rise is nice too.

  19. camarozz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    No way Sterling is gonna drop 0.1 by deadline is there??

    Have exact money to do Mane➡️Sterling if he does.

    1. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      I'm hoping but it seems a stretch. It'd be nice to get him back at a profit when I shift Kun back into midfield in a couple weeks

    2. jtreble
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Not very likely I’m afraid.

  20. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Haller to Abraham for a hit is tempting...

      Do it

        • 13 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        On -4 already so I probably shouldn’t...

        Can do VVD and Wickham to 4.5 and Abraham next gw and keep Haller also.

    I know I'm late but what's everybody's plan for getting Reece James into their squads?

      I plan to avoid.

    WC draft, good or bad?

    Pope, Button
    TAA, Otamendi, Aurier, Tomori, Lundstram
    Salah, KDB, Son, Mount, Yarmolenko
    Firmino, Abraham, Greenwood

    A) Auba
    B) Abraham

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 13 Years

      A

    2. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      If cost is irrelevant then obviously Auba.

      Think Tammy with good fixtures and worth saving almost 4 mill

      1. YEAH PITCH!
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks all. The 3.6 mil difference is appealing. Abraham due to go up tonight I think.

    Is Digne and Haller to Pereia/Alonsa and Tammy worth a hit

    or

    Zinc and haller to Otm and Tammy for a hit

    Hi
    worth to bring Abraham for Haller (-4)?
    thx

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Long run probably

    2. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      I think it’s a good move. But Haller has a nice fixture this weekend, he could cause Bournemouth problems. Its just a case of gut feeling

      1. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        That was my feeling too. But he just isn't getting shots away and the heat map is worrying. Lots of link up play but little in the box.

        Really reluctantly I'm doing the move now for a hit.

  28. DAZZ

    7 years, 14 days ago

    Now its quiet nice chance to ask for any potential moves.

    Pope Button
    Otamendi Robbo TAA Montoya Lundstram
    Sterling Salah KDB Mount Cantwell
    Abraham Pukki Greenwood

    0.1 ITB Willdcard still available. Anything worth a -4? Ive had a great start. Sitting 30K overall

    1. YEAH PITCH!
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Nice team

    2. Garth Marenghi
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      A -4? No

    3. Arctic monkeys
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Nice team. Tempted to start Greenwood ?

    4. LSK
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      No need for a hit

  29. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Hmmm. Lascelles is down to 4.4M. That looks interesting.

    I know they have few tough ones coming up, but starting GW 10, he'll look an absolute steal!

    Whom should I get rid of for 2 FTs?

    A. DSilva
    B. Digne
    C. Haller
    D. Barnes
    E. Pepe

    1. Dthinger

      Digne and Pepe
