Our delve into the Gameweek 9 data comes around tonight, as we cast an eye over City’s weekend goal heroes in our first members article of the week. Arsenal’s midfield differentials and Newcastle’s four-goal Dutchman are on our radar, whilst we also asses a couple of overlooked recruits for our five-man backlines ahead of the weekend deadline.

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

    If u use AoA chip and one of the mids doesn't play, does a def get autosubbed in? Or does AoA formation prevent it?

    1. NATSTER

      Yes, your sub will function normally.

      nope...normal substitution takes place..

    Would you bench ?
    1. a) Francis (TOT) b) Sagna (mun)
    2. a) Hoolahan (WBA) b) Aeyw (avl)

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1: A
      2: A

      It's strange that I choose to bench both home players, but I think it is the way I will do.

      1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
        • 11 Years

        ^this....but i am not sure sagna will play after kolorav is passed fit!!

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I think we may observe Sevilla game.

          If Zab starts midweek, I guess it will be likely for Sagna to start in Manchester derby.

            Cheers guys. RMT suggested to bench Sagna and Hoolahan. I was gonna play both. :O Yes need to get rid off Sagna soon anyways..

    Just a quick morning poll.

    Who would you bench ?
    A: Mahrez (CPL)
    B: Pelle (liv)
    C: Mane (liv)

    I'm with C, but I have no valid reason for why I bench him over B.

    1. Lateriser 12

      • 13 Years

      B

        Additional cleanie and goal point.

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          That could be good reasons to play Mane.

          From the display with Spurs last week, the player likes Mane could be more danger for Liverpool DF.

          If I'm not wrong, Pelle probably edges on having more goal involvement stats though.

      1. NATSTER

        Thanks. +1 for Pelle on the bench.

        1. Ginola14
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          no other benchable options?

          1. NATSTER
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Not sure.

            KDB - Sanchez - Payet - Mane - Mahrez
            Costa - Vardy - Pelle

            Do you think so ?

    3. Pompel
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm benching C) - have all three

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I do now too. But the reasons for playing Mane sounds good too.

        It will keep me thinking.

      Very good DF.

      I sold lord Alek last week and probably hard for me to return.

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thankfully had enough cover to not sell.

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I had Richards and Dawson to start last week.

          Others two are Targett and Simpson who might not start.

          So, Kolarov -> Bellerin in the end. Luckily, it paid off immediately.

          I actually can do Targett -> Bellerin, but I was too greedy with 0.1 sale value. ðŸ™

  6. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Pick 2 from below to replace Sagna and Gomez?

    A) Alderweireld

    B) Bertrand

    C) Coleman

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A + B

      1. Ginola14
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        a for defo, he and vert look immense, and id be tempted to punt on c as you can always swap to b if needed

  7. Jay10
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mane,Mata,Pelle,Payet,Lukaku,Bony,Martial all will have good fixtures after GW9,I wonder which one are the right ones. And would you upgrade Mahrez to Mane?

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I did a while ago.

      1. Jay10
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I think it's a good move but then again you are missing out on a 6.5 player and losing the price rise. And probably,you wont pay extra to get him again.

        1. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Its fine i guess. It was between Pelle + Mahrez or Martial + Mane for me.

          1. Jay10
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            So you got Martial. Aren't you concerned that he played on the wing and United aren't as attacking as you would like?

    If you did/do not own Payet, are you bringing him in now or hiding behind the couch and hoping? GW3 WC decision to go Ayew over Payet has been costly.

    1. Moin

    Morning chaps,

    Off to the states tomorrow morning so need to do any moves today, if any. Team has taken a kicking he last few weeks with lots of players I would like to move on but thinking holding might be sensible for the fixture swing. What do you think or recommend?

    Begovic / McCarthy

    Kolarov / Williams / bellerin / Francis / Richards

    Hazard / Sanchez / KDB / mahrez / Westwood

    Pelle / berahino / martial

    1ft , 1.1 itb

    Cheers,

    Walcott to Wij

    Worth a hit?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      yup

    2. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not worth a hit. Can you just do the latter?

    3. pompeyfan

      Walcott out? Have I missed some injury news?

    Hi guys,

    A)Pick 3 out of those..

    Kolarov/Bellerin/Evan/Cresswell/Janmaat

    B) Bench 1 out of...

    Lukaku / Pelle

    1. Benster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A: Kolarov/Bellerin/Evans
      B: Pelle

      1. Ginola14
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        A, id go with B, C, and E
        B, bench pelle

  15. Benster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Struggling with who to bench from my front 8 this weekend:

    Mahrez (CRY), Payet (CHE), Redmond (WBA), De Bruyne (mun), Sanchez (EVE)

    Costa (whu), Vardy (CRY), Pelle (liv)

    A: Mahrez
    B: Redmond
    C: Other?

    1. 50pipsDaily
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B or C, Pelle

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        +1 ... With recent performance, it's logical to bench Pelle and play Redmond too.

        1. Benster
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I kind of see your point, but not 100% sure how logical it is. Redmond does get the odd goal and has been great for me, but Norwich aren't playing that well and WBA are notoriously stingy at the back (I have Jonny Evans too).

          On the other hand, Pelle has a number of double figure hauls and is capable of more than the odd goal. Last away match was against Chelsea where he got a goal, 2 assists and 3 bonus points so can I ignore that?

          1. NATSTER
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Agree that Pelle is capable for double figure points and it should not be ignored.

            Anyway, I'm not sure if the last week away performance is a one-off as Southampton usually perform well at home rather than away.

            If you plan to start Evans, I would play Pelle and hope for the best of both end. 🙂

    3. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      i would say mahrez(insane isn't!!)....bcoz vardy is enough cover for lei..and by doing this you get the chance to play redmond(who is banging in the odd goals..)...but thats me..

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes! Giroud is more effect than Walcott

      1. Ginola14
        • 13 Years

        I would, sanchez is one to keep all season long

        1. karvs155

    What to do this GW? Shall I just save?
    Myhill (gomes)

    Sanchez KDB Payet Mahrez (Hoolahan)
    Lukaku Vardy Pelle

        • 10 Years

        I just hate that Cedric played 59 mins last GW, but will monitor on that

          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          that was harsh for a cedric owner....but maybe it was a tactical change(he is very much in the team!!)....i just think koemen doesn't play fantasy football!!!!!

    2. Moin

      • 12 Years

      let him him gain form first

    3. The Left Duke #3
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No for me. He looks fat and slow and on the downward. Plenty of better and cheaper options

        Interesting. Nailed on penos i guess.

        1. Gregor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          He's not gonna score a penalty every week.

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …

      Sanchez

    5. The Left Duke #3
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      has to be Sanchez in current form

  24. The Left Duke #3

    Bench 1 this GW and who would you ship in the future to free up funds?

    Sanchez Mahrez Coutinho Yaya Hazard
    Pelle Sakho Gomis

    1. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yaya i guess, Gomis to be shipped out.

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ya Gomis and Sakho are in the last chance saloon at the mo. Brought both in and have done nothing for me. Need to sort DF this week though so stuck with for now

        1. Reiko
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Have observed Gomis ever since he came to Swansea. I'd say Bony is better.

    who is the best defender to bring regardless of price

    1. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bellerin atm

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kolarov.

    3. AppleDunk
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bellerin for long term

    4. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bellerin, Kolorov. Kompany if back. Maybe time for Man U?

    5. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      toby,mcauley,zableta,bellerin

  29. Joggers Nipple
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If i could work toward a team like this by gw 11/12 any thoughts? Man U defender over Coleman is my main thought?

    Butland
    Coleman/ Kolorov/ Bertrand
    Sanchez/ Mata/ KDB/ * Maherez or Barkely
    Pelle/ Costa/ Vardy

    A bench of awfulness

    1. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Team looks good. See if u can have both Coleman and a ManU defender in the team.

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Missing Lukaku and west brom deference too but cant have them all. Coleman is a slight punt but looking for some attacking returns, for me i think it will have to be Man U or Coleman. Will see!. I also dont have Bellerin.

    Who to play ?

    A- Cedric
    B- Francis

    Who to bench?

    A- Pelle'
    B- Ighalo
    C- Yaya

    1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      play cedric
      bench ighalo

    2. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Tough questions to answer. Heard that Yaya might play a bit further up this week, so rather would bench Ighalo this time.
