We delve into the Gameweek 3 data this evening in our first members article of the week. Up front, we assess Bournemouth, Chelsea and Liverpool’s lone forwards, whilst there’s plenty to analyse in the centre of the park, as we take a look at some standout statistics from Villa, Palace, United, West Ham and Norwich.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    101 pts after three games. I really want to use my wildcard during the international break but I have itchy fingers.

    Think I'm going to have plenty cold showers before 11.45am saturday to try and stave off the wildcard cravings 🙂

      That's my team there if anybody fancies critiquing 🙂

        Hold off for one more week, you are fine.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Holding!

      2. Tommy Wiseau
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Rooney to tekkers mane to silva?

          • 11 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          I really wanted to have a city midfielder for this weekend but I ended up with sterling as it was between him or toure.

          Rooney is the first player gone after GW4 though 🙂

    2. JustClasie
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I would WC if i were you.

  2. An Púca
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone keeping faith with Depay? Just don't see where the goals are going to come from at Utd and tempted to take a hit and move him on to Pedro before the price rise

    1. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I'd keep him...He looked dangerous against Newcastle

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      If I was selling (I'm not) it certainly wouldn't be for a hit

    3. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Yes..

      1. An Púca
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks all. Just anxious about Pedro moving up in price as won't be able to afford him if he goes up bu 0.1m even

        1. Pariße
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Pedro is protected for now...and I'd give him a few more weeks before seriously consider a player for 9.5m

    4. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping and monitoring Pedro/Ayew

  3. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    How smart is Hendo > Mahrez -4 considering there's an international break coming up after the GW?

  4. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Tonight's possible rises:

    Mahrez
    Lukaku
    Gomis
    Sagna
    Kouyate
    Defoe

    Tonight's possible fallers:

    Sanchez (AVL)
    Naismith
    Mason
    Tiote
    Welbeck
    Crouch
    Fryers
    Davis
    Federici
    Surman
    Mutch
    Johnson (NOR)
    Angella
    Bony
    Hazard
    Cook
    Ings
    Remy
    Ritchie
    Ki
    Tettey
    Gosling
    Sidwell

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I don't understand how Hazard has not dropped already... crazy.

    2. Root
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Glad to see Hazard being sold by the masses.

    3. COYS Down Under
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      C'mon Ritchie, drop once more.

    4. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Surman @ 4.4m..........

    5. Too Mane Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Let Ritchie drop. See if I care. I'd let him drop to 4.0 before I sold him. The man is going to hit form and prove everyone wrong.

    6. Rödallegabomb á´¿á´®
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      How accurate have they been so far? I know they've been pretty spot on, but does anyone have a percentage?

      If Hazard is going to drop tonight, I may play my WC in order to buy Silva for him, then buy Hazard back in place of Chadli. That way I can afford Hazard, Sanchez, Silva and Aguero.

  5. Who Let The Dirk Kuyt?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Would you rather have Shaw or Azpi for the next few weeks if money wasn't an issue?

  6. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Worth saving my transfer after using my WC last week?

    Rutland
    Kompany Darmian Williams Gomez Richards
    Sanchez Silva Payet Mahrez Westwood
    Aguero Gomis Diouf

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Sakho to Diouf for FT, lads?

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        reply fail lol?

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Haha, apologies...!

    2. Who Let The Dirk Kuyt?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Would save

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. Might look at Sanchez+Payet to Ozil+Pedro after this week depending on the performances.

    3. pelle>>maradona
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      yup, team looks set for next week, maybe get in coutinho for Payet if you have the funds.

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah Coutinho or Pedro depending how they go this week maybe. Means I'll have to downgrade Sanchez to Ozil or Silva to Yaya though.

  7. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Gomis -> Wilson this week??

    Allows me to afford Pedro or Benteke the following GW

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Gomis has scored 3 in 3 brother.

      1. Stimps
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        not one bonus point though, seems like he will have to score a brace or assist to get the bonus

        1. deathorglory
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Lol greedy or what?!

  8. Tommy Wiseau
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    When will pedro price rise how long is it locked for?

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      28/8 I believe.

  9. leo_messi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Is this team good enough for this week???

    Butland
    Gomez - Kolarov - Richards
    Mahrez - Pedro - Silva - Sanchez
    Aguero - Diouf - Wilson

    sub: McCarthy - Westwood - Darmian - Jenkinson*

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Errr..very...

    2. Who Let The Dirk Kuyt?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good. But would still rather start Darmian over Richards, if it was me

    3. The Raging Bull
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      pretty avg to be fair 😉

    4. Root
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      11/11 GW 4 Scout Picks.

  10. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Good evening. Have we learnt much from the Capital one cup games? I assume it was mostly B teams from the premier league outfits. so largely irrelevant.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Sunderland played a full strength side, and conceded 3 to Exeter. More a confirmation than learning something new. 😆

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Wow. But Exeter are the flair side

  11. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    With Liverpool fixtures and Sakho concerns, would you use WC to do Ivan and Sterling to Azpil and Yaya so you could get Benteke in for Sakho?

    Have already done Deeney to Wilson for -4 so I would avoid that hit too by playing my WC.

    Also, how injured is Kosc?

  12. Harper_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Was drinking some coffee right now and suddenly came up with some inspiration for a team name: Bony and Clyne
    Probably been used to death but was surprised that I hadn't thought of it before!

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      How about "Red man walking"

    2. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Nice!

  13. tschmitt6711
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    I feel like it might be a good week to bench Payet. Any thoughts?

    Currently fielding:

    Butland
    Smalling Kolarov Gomez
    Sanchez Yaya Payet Mahrez
    Aguero(c) Gomis Wilson

    McCarthy Targett Richards Obertan

    1. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Bench for Targett.

      1. tschmitt6711
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks for the reply. I hope Targett plays as a wingback again. Higher chance of attacking returns.

  14. Uncle Gamst
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Thinking of using WC to hopefully build TV and improve on a horrendous start. Probably should have moved earlier as Kane already down - 0.1 and Yaya & Wilson + 0.1

    Taking out:

    Schmeichel, Romero, Huth, S Taylor, Mane, Ritchie, Hazard, Kane

    New Squad:

    GUZAN,

    SAGNA, GOMEZ, Cedric

    YAYA, PEDRO, SANCHEZ, Mahrez

    Agüero, WILSON, Benteke

    Subs: MCCARTHY, Bellerin, Francis, Wanyama

    Think there's decent rotation of GKs and defence plus a strong front 7

    Please let me know what you think

    1. pelle>>maradona
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      get in some Swansea cover if you can, rest looks good.

      1. Uncle Gamst
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks - any ideas re Swans?

        I'll have nil in bank

        Gomis MUN wat EVE, sot
        Benteke WHM, mun, NOR, AVL

  15. Seb Wassell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    To avoid price changes on both, is it worth doing Pelle > Costa for a -4 hit?

    1. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I'd do it. Costa's more likely to score this week IMO

      1. Seb Wassell
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. I do have 0.5m in the bank, but had planned on saving that to replace keepers (inevitable - Mccarthy & Myhill)

  16. waratard01
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone got suggestions for a downgrade of Azpi for the upcoming GW's? Not liking the chances of him scoring again or keeping a clean sheet.

    1. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      On the contrary I think due to the fact that Chelsea haven't kept any CS's yet they're certainly due one or two!

  17. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    How much importance do people put on their 8th attacker?

    Is it worth compromising your starting XI for a bench player?

    It's basically Shaw with Graham on the bench, or Cedric with Jerome on the bench. What would you go for?

    1. The Raging Bull
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Maiga over Jerome or Graham

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Errr....

        AlNassr FC ‏@AlNassrSaudiFCe Aug 24
        #ALNASSR signed a 2 year contract with former @whufc_official's forward, Modibo Maiga. Congratulations! #NFC

        1. The Raging Bull
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          oops!

    2. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I prefer the 4.5 mid to be honest...

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Better options there for sure, but I'm set on 352. 🙂

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Actually, forget it. I'll just go 3 way rotation with Deeney.

      1. Root
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Way to go.

  18. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Lescott hasn't been playing in the premier league yet didn't play tonight in the cup. Is he on his way out of WBA?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      He had been linked with Villa, which would be mighty strange.

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Sounds like a bust up somewhere down the line. Wasn't he player of the year for them last season ?

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure but I really would like to transfer the bugger out of my side.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Oh aye..get shut. He's obviously finished there..

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Just so many other transfers which seem more important just now.

    3. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      He's on the way. WBA waiting to offload him before signing a new CB (possibly Jevans)

  19. Tommy Wiseau
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    I've taken a -8 hit this week and have this team
    Mignolet/ McCarthy
    Richards/Kolarov/Darmian/Oxford/Targett
    Silva/Sanchez/hazard/Redmond/MahreZ
    Aguirre/Wilson/Defoe
    0itb

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I like it.

  20. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Who's the better pick for this week
    Gomis or benteke.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Benteke.

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Dunno..Gomis just can't stop scoring.

    3. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Benteke.

      And I own Gomis.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        So do I.thinking of getting rid for benteke.probably a bad idea.

        1. Seb Wassell
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Whilst he's scoring I'd hold. Form for strikers, fixtures for defenders in my book.

  21. pablospicks
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Tempted to use Bench Boost on the back of my wildcard last week where I had 32 points left on the bench. All 15 players playing with good fixtures apart from Mccarthy. Unlikely I will have all players fit/starting throughout the season.

    Top of my cash league and can win £45 for August with it, decisions!

  22. zaydon
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    im going with aguero,costa and benteke upfront .. who else have them all

      Very nice. I'm jealous.

      1. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Nice but then not midfield with Silva Sanchez Pedro

        1. zaydon
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          I HAVE silva and coutinho and shaqirir

      2. zaydon
        • 11 Years

    Hey guys quick question

    Butland
    Kompany Gomez Richards
    Sanchez Silva Marhez Depay
    Kun(c) Gomis Sakho

    McCarthy Westwood Darmian Huth 1FT

    A) Sakho ---> Wilson
    B) Sakho Depay----> Wilson Pedro -4

    Cheers

    1. MagnetBPS
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Give memphis one last chance, so A

      1. Kevtheotter
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Terrified not having an Chelsea

        1. Kevtheotter
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          And he is looking pretty bad

  24. MagnetBPS
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Any suggestion on how to improve this team??

    Butland Myhill
    Kolarov Darmian Gomez Prodl Baker
    Pedro Sanchez Yaya Mahrez Westwood
    Benteke Aguero Wilson

  25. COYS Down Under
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Best striker aside from Aguero? Is it Benteke at the moment?

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Well he has scored one goal...

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Which the refs came out and said wasn't one.

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Has Benteke scored a legal goal yet for Liverpool?

      1. User
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Yes if this counts from a friendly match: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33759920

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Costa I'd say, Lukaku in form but poor fixtures after Spurs.

  26. Gravless wonder
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Who would you bench from:

    Ayew Pedro depay mahrez toure
    Aguero Wilson gomis

    I brought in Wilson for the price rises but it creates a dilemma

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Ayew

  27. You've got red on you.

    #OFFICIAL: Aymen Abdennour has signed for #MUFC. Transfer fee will be around €25M-€30M, he'll sign a 5 year deal, will be announced soon.

    had this retweeted onto my timeline and apparently this guy "announced Pedro to Chelsea and otamendi to Man city before everyone else". He says it should be announced in 3 days

      If true, I think they could have done better. I'm not sure he's anything above Rojo. That isn't a bad thing, but surely they're looking for worldclass.

      Was mighty against Arsenal last year, whether he's any good in a high line, I don't know.

        he's a very pacey striker, not a great finisher. Watched him few times for BD.
