Having assessed the stand-out Defenders over the last four Gameweeks yesterday evening, we now turn our attentions to the centre of the park. Arsenal, Tottenham and Bournemouth’s playmakers feature in our analysis, whilst we also take a look at some in-form protagonists from Everton, Liverpool, Man City and Newcastle as the search for a Dimitri Payet replacement intensifies.

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

    Hey Costa !

    It's just a friendly. 🙂

      "Friendly" is not in his vocabulary I'm afraid.

      Cheeky bet on the Welsh @ 3/1

  6. KOLASINA(C)
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Would you rather have:
    A) KDB Sanchez Ozil Mahrez
    Ighalo Lukaku Aguero

    B) KDB Sanchez Deulofeu(someone under 7.1) Mahrez
    Vardy Lukaku Aguero

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      I'd rather have Vardy than Özil.

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

      A for me

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Thug one,

      Surely too soon to bring in Aguero already imo
      Ighalo some easy fixtures but Vardy in the form of his life

      Think I'd rather have A there

      1. KOLASINA(C)
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Vardy has some bad fixtures, he won't be scoring 38 goals in one season. I'm tempted by A

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          What's your defence with that team?

  7. Woy of the Wovers
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Did I hear correctly that Sad Ol' Mane scored twice against a team from Madagascar?

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Once I'm afraid. Hopefully he is back to his old form

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Were the penguins used as officials in the game. They always struck me as a bad bunch.

  8. Saniul
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Without Bale and Ramsey, that Wales team looks really dreadful IMO. Would that XI be able to stay in the Premier League?

    1. Mr. Grv
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Hmmm I think nope . They wouldn't .

  9. Costa's Counsellor
    • 10 Years

    Is Dzeko any good now?

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Brilliant, as he was at City

  10. Pochecinno

    10 years, 3 months ago

    Hi guys. Awfully quiet in here tonight.

    Quick poll:

    a) Mata
    b) Coutinho
    c) Eriksen

    Which is the better pick?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      C easily . we all spurs arnt we?

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

        Yes Spurs fan here, but I don't let that get in the way of of FPL. I've had 3 Arsenal and no Spurs players up until now!

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Me neither mate. Brain over heart at ff but erekksen playing very advanced. Annoying a bit as he assists the assister but I do prefer him out the options you gave..wait on coutino he could be worth it if he carries on

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Cou-cou-tinho.

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

        Excellent!

    3. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      None appeal to me I'm afraid.

    4. Funkyav

      C if u dont have Kane

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

        And if I do?

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

          Cheeky A

        2. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Doesn't matter. Cout>Erik>Mata imo. Siggy and wijnaldum worth a look

          1. Costa's Counsellor
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Wij is good.

    5. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Good evening mate, erm, all of a similar ilk funnily enough so just pick the one you like and have a drink.

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

        That's the reason for the poll!

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Yes, but my point was they're so similar that you may wish to pick the one you prefer from a football watching perspective. So who would it be?

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

            As a Spurs fan I obviously prefer watching Eriksen, but I think that is always a bad reason to choose player!

    6. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      What is the rest of your team? And how much do you have to spend?

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

        Am on a WC and am looking for a budget of about 17m for two mids. I still fancy Mane which leaves 9m for this slot. (Already have Ozil in that bracket)

        1. Costa's Counsellor
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Ok, and are you keen for a cheap 5th mid or will you rotate?

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

            Cheap 5th mid

            1. Costa's Counsellor
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 3 months ago

              Then I would go for

              Sanchez Mahrez Ozil KDB/Silva and Drinkwater

              1. Costa's Counsellor
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 3 months ago

                Or trade any of them for Wij to get Kun funds

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

                Cool, thanks mate.

    7. JÆKS ⭐

    Why did Matt Ritchie fail in the PL?
    (By fail meaning, not being that successful as hyped in the preseason)

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Never was all that good.

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

      Personally wouldn't trust a Championship player until he shows his worth.

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

        Yeah, but he was in almost everyone's GW1 team

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

          Not mine 🙂

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      The season isn't over yet but my guess is his role is impinged somewhat and Bournemouth are no Leicester... yet.

    5. skeyrd
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      If bournemouth had a striker capable of finishing then he might have had success. He consistently puts in great crosses. Also, season isn't over yet...lots of players start slowly adjusting to the prem

      Don't worry about that, just bring the wads of cash.

    4. Woy of the Wovers

        Aye, 2 good striker for him to service too. Vedad Ibisević is a very good goalscorer on his day.

        Have no idea how Medunjanin has missed out though, one of their classiest players.

    Whelan our captain, sh$ te player, best we can hope for is he kicks a few players and upsets Bosnias tempo. O'Neill has done a brilliant job of reducing our expectations. Never seen such a journeyman side represent the country.

    1. Henry Hill

      Takes up a valuable Arsenal place.

      It will take an Arsenal spot and he won't get many points.

        1st point is valid, 2nd is missing the point. He's looking for a nailed on, 90-minutes, 5th mid who will regularly get him 2-3 points if it's needed in emergency. Now Coquelin only fits this bill because he's cheap, but like you said, takes an Arsenal spot and he also gets booked a lot.
