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.
Have I got my team selection and beech order correct?
DDG
Moreno. Kolv. Bellerin.
Sanchez. Ayew. Payet. KDB (C)
Ighalo. Vardy. Pelle (VC)
Mahrez. Prodl. Williams.
I'd play Mahrez ahead of Ighalo.
I'd play mahrez over ighalo.
Don't listen to these. Ighalo is the better option.
Sorry I forgot Watford were so free scoring at home.
True. And the Baggies defence is awful.
They got a CS against Sunderland and Norwich. Amazing stuff. I personally think they're over rated. Leicester will score.
Aye. Terrible defence. Don't know why anyone considers Pulis defenders.
West Brom CSs are the worst.
Yes.
Mahrez over Ighalo.
Is this team good to go for next week?
Myhill
Cedric - Azpi - Janmaat
De Bruyne - Mane - Payet - Sanchez - Mahrez
Pelle - Martial
Subs: Butland - Ighalo - Mert - Moreno
Took a hit this week, to take Costa and Walcott out for Pelle and Sanchez. What transfers should I be looking to make? Think I am happy to keep Martial at least one more week, but Bony for a hit could go well if he has a good game.
thoughts?Merte ahead of Janmaat...
Kane, Lukaku or Bony ? First 3 to win
Bony for next two then switch to lukaku/kane after having another couple GWs to pick the best option.
Bony
Are you getting Aguero as soon as declared fit or waiting for 1-2 games?
I got stung with that one last season. It was about a month before he was back up to speed.
As soon as my budget allows it
You could wait but his price will go up
Costa and Sakho to Bony and Kane for a -4?
absolutely
DDG or Lloris?
DDG easy
llris
How come? 🙂
cheaper, more saves
and bonus
DDG
Lloris
DDG
ATTENTION FFS COMMUNITY!
I need your help to beat scouts atleast 16 points margin.
I'm expexting scouts to have atleast Kolarov,Lukaku,KDB,Bony,Kane VVD and Bellerin.
Suggestions for differentials?
Giroud,Özil,Sterling. Any other?
Erikson, Yaya, Tadic
Nice shouts. Especially Tadic.
Tadic gets subbed early a lot
Mane
I'm getting him aswell even if he is in scout picks.
Silva possibly...when's your deadline though ?
On thursday but possible to tweak a bit after friday pressers.
Fletcher, Sissoko, Tadic
Thanks.
Rose
Kompany too perhaps, Silva if he's fit
Is he nailed to start?
Yeah for this week atleast. Bagged an assist in a 5-1 win last week and kept a cleanie the week before. No reason to drop him yet and he's better than Davies.
Hopefully you are right.
Eriksen, Tadic, Wijnaldum
Don't know how this actually works, but shouldn't this be played like 'get the players you think will score most'?
Meaning if this is a season long battle, 16 points difference certainly don't need differentials.No. Community champion who beats scouts by biggest margin will win voucher.
Yes, I was a community champion two weeks ago and I regret not going for more differentials, eg Sterling instead of KDB. My advice is more differentials the better.
I'm looking for combination for 5 safe picks and 7 differentials.
That's 12 🙂 Anyway, 4 or 5 safe picks is more than enough.
Haha 🙂 never been good at maths
Okay then, Barkley maybe.
Will be most likely in my squad
Otamendi, Smalling, Barkley, Coleman, Mane, Tadic, Yaya, Giroud
Cheers. Lots of great options there.
^^^^^^^
Richards, Wilson, Shaw... 😉
Haha 😀
I would do something like this
LLoris
Berty Otamendi Zouma
Tadic Erikssen YYT Barkley Mane
Giroud Lukaku (Kane) take your pickZouma is odd one 🙂
but I think need to cover atleast 5 of their picks like Kane,Mane,Kolarov and VVDi would try to go differential city vs scout picks, that way you either lose or win big time 🙂 Go big or go home. At least i say it now, but not in your shoes 🙂
You could get Kane over Lukaku. Berty will get an assist i believe this weekend.
Just thinking out loud thoCheers for this.
No problem, hopefully gave you some good ideas.
I'd say Kompany and Yaya Touré worthy differentials.
You need to take some chances as you've suggested.
Maybe take a chance that Monreal is going to deliver more than Bellerin.
Eriksen, Sterling, Giroud, all good differentials, although the latter may come into their thinking following the Walcott injury.
Bit of a challenge here..which one looks better?
a)
gw11: VVd (BOU) + Mahrez (wba)
gw12: Ayew (nor)
gw13: VVd ((STO) + Ayew (BOU)
b)
gw11: Dawson (WBA) + Mane (BOU)
gw12: Mane (sun)
gw13: Bellerin (wba) + Mane (STO)B
Thanks!
B
I have a similar scenario. Thanks for typing it out though. Think I'm leaning A.
Although, didn't realise Dawson got to play for Leicester 🙂
VVd or Mane is the big question for me and feels like I just can't ignore Mane.
If I get VVd, I wouldn't be able to get Bellerin for gw13.To me this has more to do with ayew vs mane. Ayew seems to be at the forefront of everything that Swansea does. Mind you that isn't much but it leads to bonus. Mane on the other hand is one of several offensive options at SOU, meaning less bonus and possible cold streaks. Don't have the stats to back this up but makes sense in my head 🙂
I like vvd as a differential too given his low ownership compared to bellerin
Is Jose fired already...?
No. Stupid question.
Hazard missed intentionally
😆
You'd know about it if he was.
Anyone knows the injury status of Clichy? FPL states he'll back this week?
Pellegrini confirmed yesterday that he's still injured.
he wont start this week for sure. has been out for months, will be back in the team slowly. I dont know he has played any minutes for reserve team yet
Kolarov has 3 more fixtures
Alright thanks, considering getting King Kolarov on the WC
Kolarov then a switch to everton/utd/arsenal def after next two games could work.
Interesting, could well get some Everton/Utd. Have Bellerin already
Pick 3: Moreno(CHE) Coleman(SUN) Bertrand(BOU) Simpson(wba) Bellerin(swa)
Coleman, Bert, Bellerin
I'm on this too, cheers
Moreno has Chelsea away
No brainer? 😛
coleman bert bellerin
Bench Moreno and Simpson
Who would you bench 1st?
Quite comfortably Coleman, Bertrand, Bellerin. I mean come on, that's not even close!!
Simpson is a son of a beetch
Leicester kept one CS all season and are bottom of chances conceded in the box last four games. I'm surprised you even had to ask which three to play tbh it's that clear cut.
Just like San Marino
This is San Marino's time to rise like a phoenix and take out the FPL/footballing world! :-p
Bertrand, Coleman and Bellerin
Ta
Coleman, Bert, Bellerin
Cheers
To play this week, right ?
Coleman, Bertrand, Bellerin
Of course 🙂
Shame you dint get a consensus 🙂
Well it was a pretty daft question.
Appreciate it
coleman bertrand bellerin

Hi,
Current midfield:
Payet - Hoolahan - Hazard - Sanchez - KDB
2.3 ITB
A) Save
B) Hoolahan -> Tadic
C) Hazard -> Eriksen
D) Otherc
Hazard > Ozil/Eriksen/Sterling/Yaya/Mane
Take your pickD) Hazard > Mane
Sell Haz for anyone
Started watching the scout cast but as it started Granville was in mid speech. Did the start get cut off? would the audio version be the full version?
Granville is having a stormer lately in the scout casts . loving it..
Who cares
Oh yeah - that's annoying
I think I'll just wait for the audio version and hope its in full
Haven't listened to the audio version for months, might have to give it a go I suppose.
Gives me a reason to go for a long run I suppose. Makes it easier when you can listen to something.
The live stream cut off about ten minutes in last night before coming back online about five minutes later.
Seems the video scoutcast is missing those first 10-15 mins.Cheers for the info. Hopefully the audio has it all.
I've still not got more than 2 points from a GK all season thanks to the combined uselessness of Schmeichel and then Bego and then Fabianski 😎
Got a spare FT.. think i'm just gonna get a heavyweight ie
DDG or Cech and be done with it.
Which one would you prefer?I've got Fabianski as well, 1 cs since I got him in GW3. Pathetic.
I had Schmeichel all season and then swapped him for Begovic pre WC.. and missed Schmeichel's CS.. then swapped Bego on WC for Fabianski and missed Bego's CS 😆 .. Im pretty sick of that position now :
Neither. Myhill.
stelelenburg 5 mil at home to bourn then got a few decent fix comin up
sun, stoke, city, villa watGot 3 Soton already 🙂 .. Basically between DDG and Cech.. i'm sick of chasing GK points and Hennessey makes getting one of those 2 a not too expensive affair.
Both are good options. Buy either and keep long term. Personally I'd buy Cech from them as I think Arsenal defence is slightly more stable than ManUtd.
Myhill owners are very happy 🙂
I'm a happy Dawson owner 🙂 .. would not want to double up for the next few fixtures and Dawson is one of the key members of my defense 🙂
Get away from DDG - I'm looking to get him in 😉
DDG all the way
There is a good lesson here though Valar.
This season I really don't think it will pay to rotate gk's for easier fixtures as if you look at it the gks that have scored double figures have done it in fixtures that you would not expect them to get a cs.
With the extra bonus points for gks I reckon we will all be just keeping gks from teams capable of backs to the wall cs against opposition teams that are better than them and looking forward to the more difficult fixtures in the hopes of them picking up the odd 12-15pt haul.
I really think this is a very significant shift in the game and it will lead to the death of rotating gk's in the future.Im doing Ruddy ---> DDG this week after tonights games.. Excellent fixtures and DEF looks good..
If Walcott is out for a few weeks, Giroud could become a good differential.
Meh
Sanchez upfront?
Fantasy gold
Won't happen. Especially with ramsey and ox currently injured too.
Ozil on the right and Cazorla as no. 10?
Could happen too.
If walcott out for month or longer maybe. Anything less is too short term.
He's been a half decent option even when benched.
Will have a point to prove too
1 million dollar question.
Kane, Lukaku or Bony?
Of those, Kane
Kane or Pelle? and why?
Pelle. Because he has more shots, more goals, more points, more assists, better service
This.
Shots on Target?
In the box
Lukaku for the fixtures
I brought in Lukaku. I am expecting anything from 6 to 36 points over the next few GWs. I've learned not to get upset when owning him... Pelle on the other hand.... (I have both going forwards)
For long term.
Kane for me
Definitely not Bony then. Kane.
not sold on Kane (owned him in early weeks)
Lukaku - potential to gain team value and profit
Bony - short term option, could be explosive
I can't decide too...I owned Kane as well in early weeks and it was frustrating. So I'm leaning towards lukaku at the moment... but you know how it's going to end
if you are looking at long term, Bony is out.
as Lukaku is considerably cheaper, I'd lean towards Lukaku atm.I think I'm going with Luka, cheers
Bony.
Phony
I think I'm going with Kane. Slightly concerned about Lukaku playing 120 minutes last night, he could be exhausted, and though I will WC when Aguero is back, I don't want to be left in a position where I have Bony but don't know whether he'll start with Aguero being eased in, or whether he'll be dropped.
I think it's safe to assume Bony won't start once Aguero is back (and fit), unless Bony has had crazy performance during GW11-13, in which Bony owners would have benefited already and he would be shipped out for Aguero anyways...
Mata > Sterling and play AOA will give me this...
Begovic
Kolarov - Bertrand
Sanchez - Sterling(c) - Payet - Eriksen - Mahrez
Pelle - Lukaku - Berahino
Bench: Bellerin - Dawson - Nyom
Sound like a plan?Wouldn't play aoa to start berahino over Bellerin personally
Have gone from 1.5 million to 163k in the last 4 gameweeks. Kudos to Sanchez, Aguero, Sanchez again and Mr. Kane!
Whose your captain this gw 😉
Well played Jax
Cheers! Thinking Pelle this week
Considering you've been the golden goose of captaincy picks I'm now having serious doubts about Bony.
A) Costa > Kane
B) Costa > Bony + Wanyama > Mané (bench Mahrez) (-4)
C) Costa > Bony
D) Save ft
Cheers.A

I'm not so sure those injuries to AOC and Walcott were that serious. Anyone who watched the game last night disagree?
AOC-All out crocked?
It looked precautionary to me, and they said he had "a tightness to his ham string".
You'd never know how serious a muscle injury is. Can be damaging, can be for a couple of days. Waiting for the official news.
Waiting for actual news is underrated on here.
Encouraging people not to sell so his price doesn't dive before I swap him for Ozil 😉
Ulterior motives eh. 😉
Just felt the need to curb the panic selling, as Ozil is bound to rise soon.
True, and Wenger set Theo on without warming up first.
Yeah that seemed kind of dumb considering it's Walcott!
Yeah Walcott's one looks like he's just pulled his calf muscle a bit (not worth running around on all game vs Sheffield wednesday), AOC's looked a little worse but not horrendous.
Pantilimon out, should I bring in De Gea or Stekelenburg?
DDG or Lloris.
I prefer a Saints defenderCheers and yeah want to bring in VVD too
DDG
Thanks
DDG
Kane scored a hattrick and he is a good player now. I have to find a new differential.
Kane--->Costa or Gru?If Theo is confirmed out for 1 month+, I think Giroud would be a very good shout.
Don't ditch players you want when they hit form, just to find a "differential"! It's GW11! Just do what you believe will get you the most points.
This
Right...
Origi?....Only striker they have left now...
Think you should keep him for this weekend at least.
No.. Don't adopt that strategy.
Who would you bench this week? Tough choice!
Mahrez (wba)
KDB (NOR)
Sanchez (swa)
Payet (WAT)
Wij (STK)
Pella (BOU)
Vardy (wba)
Martial (cry)Wijnaldum.
Home game? No way
Martial or Wij I reckon
Wij
Wij
Martial
bench boost is another option as im having to bench Dawson.
however, Richards and no second keeper makes it a bit of a waste...I have the same problem with Richards and McC. I will sort it out and play bench boost when fixtures are favourable.
Mahrez
argh, not conclusive as i expected...
Surman, Costa, Targett -> Barkley, Bony, Van Dijk (-4)
Surman keeps on dropping need to get rid of him
Front 8 then
Barkley, payet, mahrez, kdb, sanchez
pelle, bony, vardy
= bench headache's
DDG (Butland)
Francis (Sou) Tomkins (Wat) Dawson (Lei) - (Martin / Hangeland)
KDB Payet Sanchez Ozil Mahrez
Vardy Bony Pelle
1 FT Ship Martin / Dawson > Galloway / Simpson ? (This will free cost for premium def which I badly need) Any hits for better defence ?
Also, AOA ?? Don't know who to bench .... Cheers matesAoA.
- new article posted
LOL chelsea and arsenal out
hahahahah
And who's next for today? M.City? Liverpool?
Costa >> ???
Bony
Has he been conformed OUT?
Seem to be 70% chance playing next GW!It's only Wednesday. Wait for team news
Bench and (c)? Please help..
Butland
Bellerin, Smalling, Cedric
Sanchez, Ayew, Payet, KDB(c)
Pelle(vc), Bony, Vardy
Subs. Mc, Mahrez, Dawson, Richards
Yaya, KDB or Sterling?
