Spurs duo Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen arrive under analysis in our first members piece of the week. Watford’s budget frontman, Arsene Wenger’s dilemma up front and Leicester’s out-of-position Ghanaian are also on our radar after impressive weekend showings.
Richards&Costa to Van Dijk&Bony(C) for a hit?
Seems reasonable!
yes
Who are your other Def 1st?
Would have to play Dawson vs Leicester and I know Vardy, Mahrez will score. Dawson fixture change so have to bench him in coming weeks
Personally I would play Dawson and take stock next week, so just Costa to Bony, but I perfer Kane
Season long which two do you prefer?
A) VvD and Ayew
B) Monreal and Mahrez
I think on paper B looks a lot better points wise but i think as its season long they are also more risky in terms of starts (Gibbs to randomly come back in for example) and then just the Tinkerman. Thoughts?b
I like B
A I think..
Both if possible!!
B.
B
Fabianski and Whittaker to De Gea and who? Rest of my defence is Bellerin, Dawson, Darmian and Richards.
Will Bony start in Saturday if Silva is back?
Hart
Zab Kompany Otamindi Kolarov
Yaya Ferandinho
Naval KdB Silva
SterlingI doubt Bony will start if Silva will be in..Maybe Sterling will play up front
If bony doesn't play when Kun is out and against Norwich, then he should really go back to Swans
Probably will start. But he might not get 90 mins.
Surely Navas will be the one to drop out?
He'll start. Sterling will play over Navas
Yea, more than likely . Navas has been on exceptional form the last few games (unfortunate to miss out in the Derby)
There's a bit of doubt for me that's putting me off getting himIm having doubt also, it might also be hard to be sure when right time for Kun, gw13 he might play and be subbed so you get little from Bony and/or Aguero in that match
I think Silva comes on as a sub with Sevilla game midweek
2ft, 2m in the bank
Butand
Azpi, Kolarov, Dawson
Sanchez, KDB, Ayew, Mahrez
Costa, Pelle, Vardy
Schmeichel, Richards, Francis, Westwood
A. Costa to Bony or Lukaku?
B. Ayew or Westwood to Mane?
Play Evans or Vardy? Not as silly as it sounds right? Or log off?
come on man....Vardy's scored in 7 straight games
Who do you prefer over next 3-4 weeks?
Kolorov or VVD? Leading my mini league by a small margin and most have Kolorov!.VvD
Kolarov for me
VVD
VVD
Kola
Kolarov
Who is better for the next week?
A- Lukaku
B- Bony
C- Kane
Bony
Kane
Costa > Kane ?
I was thinking Bony but I'm having doubts he'll start if Silva is back
28 million striker benched when there is no other striker?doesn't make sense right?
You'd think so, Mental. He probably will but I have a nagging doubt. BOU apart he has been awful
i would say aguero also has been awful before newcastle.he was out for a long time so he needs some time to regain the swans form and imo he's better than a lot of people think here
I have seen this question so many times, just glad I will have all 3, but Kane if one
Just this week Kane
This, after that his fixtures aren't so impressive
So it seems the Bertrand love has ended. And the new bandwagon is Paul van dyke...
berty firmly holding his spot in my team.
Van dyke is firmly in my essential mix now...
Lol. I like it ^^
I have Cedric but van Ds goal threat is too good to ignore IMO
If i ever ever have 2fts with nothing to do Bert to him would be my move
Paul Van Dyk, there's a name. Loved that guy.
Who to bench from this lot?
Payet,mane,mahrez,sanchez,kdb
vardy,pelle,bony
(AOA chip burnt)Pelle
Or Vardy.
Actually def not Vardy.
Pelle or Mahrez. But you have yourself in a right pickle.surely can't bench pelle against burnmouth?maybe vardy or mahrez?
Vardy is on fire. I would not bench him.
Against Bournemouth?! Bit early in the day to be drinking mate! 😉
Mahrez
Maherez ( see my essay below, thinking this way too!)
that's my thinking also.Cheers
Mahrez
Bench points and benching dilemmas.
I never usually have this problem as i play 3-4-3 with a Boyd/Westwood/ Drinkwater as my 5th mid.
As i am new to this problem maybe i am reading it wrong?
-If i bench my 5th mid who is 'good', someone like Maherez and he scores points and my 4 playing mids do too its no problem.
- If I bench Maherez and he scores while one of my mids dont yes this is annoying but the scoring player is still in my squad
- With possible rotation/ injury/ bans having a good 5th mid in place is useful
- My own natural reaction to having a Maherez as 5th mid is ' then why bother having him?'. This would make sense with Aguero fit and or Costa firing but with all this cash flying around why not ride with a strong front 8?
I have no answer to this but just interested in others thoughts.Im trying to justify this by the way-
Sanchez/ KDB/ Ozil/ Mata/ Maherez
Vardy/ Lukaku/ Pelle
with a firm eye on Mata to Payet if LVG keeps messing around with his pitch timeI always go 343 with a cheap mid and my head was turned with extra Wguero cash. Now it just grieves benching dilemmas.
I'm going back to a cheap mid ASAP in prep for Segio's returnTrue. I m never usually in this situation but may go this way until Aguero is back
Who is the best captain option out of...
Kdb
Or
Kane...
ThanksProbably Kane
Kane as he has pens. And i fancy Spurs to destroy villa.
Harry
You're a wizard
Kane
Wow...thought you'd all say kdb!
I thought my captains were disaster this year and then I checked the stats:
Agüero (6 times - 74 points - average 12.3 points)
Rooney (2 times - 14 points - average 7 points)
Vardy (1 times - 10 points - average 10 points)
Costa (1 times - 24 points - average 24 points)
Take a punt on Lukaku/Kane or just keep Ighalo?
Take a punt
Short term Kane
Longer term TrolkakuHi Don.
Kane has to be a supe captain choice this week mate. Go with him.
I like to take into account the 'week after' syndrome. Rarely will a player follow up on a hat-trick.
Lukaku has played every single game of this Season ...
keep.
Tough one. Ighalo is a good formation enabler but id just end up benching him most weeks
I'm keeping for now.
Sterling in 3-5-2 or
Kane/Luaku in 3-4-3?343
B
B
Thanks chaps.
Interesting, I was really tempted by sterling potentially playing up front against Norwich. Obviously no love for that here though...I'm definitely keeping Sterling for the next two games.
"I'd have to opt for worse"

Need Help!! My current team
Begovic Butland
Francis Cresswell Monreal Kolarov Gomez**
Payet Mahrez Sanchez KBD Yaya**
Pelle Vardy Ighalo
0.4 ITB with 1 FT
Who should I bring for Gomez and Yaya?
I plan to do Gomez--> Rojo (want Man U coverage) and Yaya --> Barkley/Mane ==> -4 Pts
Any comments is appreciated!! ThanksI would hold Yaya and just sort Gomez. Man u nice but not worth a hit imo
Keep Yaya. Not worth the hit.
One piece of advice I'd offer is to be wary of how you're spreading your leftover Aguero cash around, especially if you don't have a WC.
If you spread that extra 4-6m over too many players you may find it too hard to get him back in once he's *fit again.
*I use that term lightly, I know he has glass ankles and cheesestrings for hamstrings.Very true. Too easy to get 4 defenders in the 5.5 range now. Hard to release that money. A Pelle/ Lukaku/ Kane to Aguero with one mid downgrade much easier
mine will be a nice and easy bony,pelle to ighalo and aguero
Sod it! I’m taking a hit again, but it’s going to give me a defence that I think is very strong for this week.
Myhill (Butland)
Kolarov - Bellerin - van Dijk (Moreno - Francis)
Sanchez - KdB - Payet - Mane - Mahrez
Pelle - Vardy (Ighalo)
Azpi & Richards are gone!
I obviously won’t be pushing any button until after tonight’s C1C
I was too itchy and got VvD yday. Couldnt stand not transferring anyone for a week and a half 🙂
Good team, a few players different only. I will AoACheers mate! Yeah, he was banker of a signing this week, but I'm taking a punt on Kolarov for the next couple of weeks (minimum), on the basis that I feel he'll outscore Azpi significantly
*crosses fingers *I absolutely have to agree with you. My defense at the moment is looking ok, but i was thinking of shipping Cresswell for Kola, but that means i cant get DDG for Butland next week
I'm glad someone does. Most people will talk you out of a hit, but sometimes I think it's worth taking the risk. Got to play your own game!
2ft, 2m in the bank
Butand
Azpi, Kolarov, Dawson
Sanchez, KDB, Ayew, Mahrez
Costa, Pelle, Vardy
Schmeichel, Richards, Francis, Westwood
A. Costa + Westwood to Lukaku + Mane
B. Costa + Ayew to Lukaku + Mane
C. Costa + Ayew to Ighalo + Mane leaving me 6.8m in the bank and can do Vardy to Aguero when he's backA or B. I transferred out Westwood last GW. Still have Ayew though. Gonna bench him this week.
Costa & Ayew -------------> Kane & De Bryune for (-4) ??????????
Don't ditch Ayew, he has some good fixtures coming up
No. Keep Ayew
With clean sheets back in fashion this season is 4-4-2 or even 4-5-1 the way to go?
3-4-3 fpl heaven 😉
Nooooooo... CS are not completely back in fashion. I always prefer to go heavy inn attack
Just blown my own trumpet lol, what a great team 🙂
Myhill
Janmaat Cedric Monreal
Mata Mane Payet Sanchez
Lukaku Kane Bony
McCarthy Cabaye Richards Gomez
Not as great as mine.
🙂
Not too shabby
Really nice Team
I have to choose one from your front 3 .... Who do you think is the best option?Kane imo
Start Fabianski or Butland?
Butland.
But
Captain for GW11
Sanchez
KDB
Lukaku ( Never cap never bench right) ?
Pelle ( same as above) ?
Payeti would go pelle,they can win 5 or 6 easily
So could City
i can see kdb rested after 60 mins
Pelle I suppose.
I'm going Pelle
Tough one, isn't it? i think you may be right including Pelle in the NCNB pile.

Hey Doos. Thoughts on Ighalo -> Kane (C) this week for a FT?
Will wildcard in two weeksTop, top move, imho. 😀
Cheers!
I am going for Sterling 😀
Fair enough. I think my Father-in-Law is too ...
Well who doesn't like £ ?
Or him! I'm doomed
Don't have him!
Neither do I, just yet ... 😀
What does this numbers mean?
They are the teams' HOME and away ratings, for Pasqua's ticker ...
got it, thanks.
How can CHE have such high scores then? Is it based on previous seasons too?
Last 38 matches
Yes it is - although last season's scores become much less relevant as time goes on.
Yes, indeed. To be precise, 28/38 of last Season, plus the 10 games of this. So always the last 38 games.
Now I got it! Thanks!
Much obliged. Looks like Bony > Kane > Pelle for the armband (if going for a forward).
Not sure about Bony, and I may well sell Pellé:
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/11091/
You would think I'd learn, after Agüero, but no ... ! 😆 😉Don't you worry that Sakho will be rested or/and Bournemouth will continue being themselves?
Don't sell him. You're mad!
Doosra, can I ask why you are consider Pelle out for Kane as opposed to Sakho? Is it purely down to freeing up more funds?
Thanks. Am torn between Pelle or Lukaku out for Kane this week. The latter continues to frustrate and can see Sunderland shutting up shop next game.
Bigger the tastier
That's what she said
Pelle
Thanks all and thanks Doos for tables. I think I will put the armband on Pelle. For now...
Good luck! 🙂
This
Bony or Lukaku? both have good fixtures for the next 2 weeks
Bony - Norwich, Villa
Lukaku - Sunderland, West HamNorwich & Villa are much easier than Sunderland and West Ham
I'm aware of that, but I'm not sure if i can trust him
Well Bony has better players behind him.
Bony for the next two, Lukaku long term.
bony
Tempted by Bony, can we trust he playes 80+ minutes next 2?
Well Lukaku didn't score against Norwich yesterday, so what does it mean? 😉
News about Costa? Tnx.
He is being replaced by Kane 😉
🙂 I`m going with Lukaku probably... But I must take a hit for this:(
Yeh it will be worth it
Kane won't get a hat trick every week
Mourinho's comment on Costa's injury "How did the injury happen? I think he punched himself." Queer thing to sya but made my decision whether to buy him a bit easier.
Popular midfieders have more PPG than strikers this years, is it new or is same every season?
always post at bottom of pages, as usual. weird
Most Seasons. That's why expensive forward lines are a no-no, imo.
