Our first members article of the week delves into the Gameweek 13 data this evening. We assess the downturn in form of a trio of premium midfielders, as Alexis Sanchez, Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard’s displays arrive under our radar. Harry Kane and Roberto Firmino’s weekend showings are also analysed, whilst we take a look at Bournemouth’s midfield improvement since Eddie Howe switched tactics in Gameweek 11.

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

    I've asked this twice already and will probably ask again before Saturday, but:

    A. Pelle > Lukaku
    B. Pelle > Kane
    C. Pelle > Kun and KDB > Delefeou (-4)

      id do C, A then B

      Looks like I'm a little early to the party

      Up to you really.
      Ive brought Lukaku in for Pelle this week.
      Have Kane already..

      Hoping the Kun doesn't go too mad in the next few weeks.
      Prob bring Kun in a few weeks.
      No mad rush hopefully with Kane/Lukaku providing solid returns.

      A or B. It's potluck

        This.

    Don't think Alexis Sanchez is a guy who would want a rest.

    1. Sz21
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He doesn't really get the concept one feels

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He's not but he'll get one at some point - big question is when

  3. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Takeaway from tonight.

    Sanchez still as essential as ever backing up the stats!

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not if he only scores in Europe 🙁

  4. Flynny

    Who to captain out of....

    Sanchez

    Kane

    Kun

    (don't have lukaku)
    Thanks

    1. semiconductor

      im currently on kun

    2. Rasping Drive

      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I have had the band on Sanchez since Saturday. Tend not to change it unless there are injuries. Fancy him to rip Norwich a new one.

    3. ThreeLeftFeet
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I feel a well-rested, on-form, confident Sanchez (those two goals tonight will help!) against Norwich could be a good choice; potentially great. I'm going for him as captain.

  5. semiconductor
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    i need the best defender for 6m or less

    1. Aldy, great pick, can score but spurs dont seem to keep clean sheets
    2. rose/walker, cheaper options for spurs
    3. zouma, seems nailed, can score and great fixtures
    4. stones, great performance and fixtures
    5. dawson, a west brom def but very bad fixtures

    other options??

    i have bellerin, moreno, wolly and simpson and ddg as keeper

    p,s. on my WC

        thanks, im really considering him but need more convincing

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Well, I would trust Spurs to keep more cleansheets than Everton long term so on that basis. Alder.

          1. semiconductor
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            thanks a lot....im considering 1 or 2 currently but since im on WC, looking for best options

                10 years, 1 month ago

                I wouldn't trait Chelsea's defence at all. I have had Azpi for weeks. It's been a shambles.

                    No worries, hoe you get a triple digit score with your WC

                      hoping so...trying to improve it and hoping it looks good

    3. Bibelnissen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      WBA fixtures turn for the significantly better really soon, and your other defenders rotate well up until then.

      But I'd probably Rose for now.

      1. Bibelnissen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Actually yeah definately Rose. Or at least a Spurs defender. Rotates PERFECTLY with Wollscheid and will keep Simpson on the bench at all times.

        1. semiconductor
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          so would u go aldy or dawson??

  6. Nice Baps
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    KDB price drop forces me into my Aguero move before CL. I need a big sofa to hide behind.

    KDB to King Vardy to Kun

    Feels good to have a bench mid again after benching Mahrez and Barkley for the big scores

    1. Sz21
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ideal scenario..
      He goes mad during the Champs League and then pulls up early on Saturday ruling him out for 2 weeks (so as not to be too mean to him)

      1. Nice Baps
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        You know it

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you haven't already made the transfer, wait on it. You can still do Gosling (who is just as attacking and more nailed than King) and get Kun.

      1. Nice Baps
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah did see that but Eddies comments swung it for me.

    Hi boys in a class....
    Quick question, might wollscheid rise and Williams drop tonight?

    FPL stats say yes total FPL say no

    Thanks

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years

      Total Fpl is useless

  8. andy85wsm

    In 24 hours some of us could really be ruing those Aguero transfers...

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I was already expecting him to play some part so we'll see.

        Aguero playing, Firmino worries - not the greatest early hit I've ever made

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          What's wrong with Firmino ?

          1. andy85wsm
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Just not sure about him now I've transferred him in. Just hoping he gets the minutes.

            1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/477170/Roberto-Firmino-Liverpool-signing . The fact he is trying to convert him suggests he is fairly nailed on for the time being ?

              1. andy85wsm
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 15 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                That might actually be more worrying with Benteke and Sturridge around

                1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

                  Well I tried to help and made things worse . Batman out 😎

                    No no.

                    "But Klopp is a huge fan and has been full of praise for Firmino since he took the Anfield job.

                    Klopp had seen the Brazil star's talents first hand in the Bundesliga at Hoffenheim and was suitably impressed.

                    The former Borussia Dortmund chief said: "I’d say a year ago for a few months for sure he was the best player in the Bundesliga.

                    “When I heard Liverpool took him, I thought ‘good choice’.”"

                    Nailed on.

                      10 years, 1 month ago

                      Firmino will be nailed when fully fit. One of the first names on the team sheet. He just isn't fully fit right now.

                    2. andy85wsm

                      • 15 Years
                      10 years, 1 month ago

                      He hasn't been so far though....although some said he was still looking for match fitness.

    1. Nice Baps
      • 13 Years

      Yep - but see above

        That would be kinda handy alright.

      Makes sense to wait.

    People considering Kane are you worried about a Spurs European hangover?

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nope

    another question, im on my WC. best 5th mid

    king or gosling??

    i didnt follow bournmouth much and was set on gosling but seen too much love for king

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Toss a coin

      1. semiconductor
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        i just didnt watch both so i was hoping for some opinion lol

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I can't believe that anyone would have any convincing argument for either. Unless they gave birth to them of course

          1. semiconductor
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            lol good point

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd go Gosling with fixtures heating up over the Christmas break. He's more nailed than King, and that's what you need from a 5th mid: reliable starts for when one of your other 7 attackers is rested.

      1. semiconductor
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        thanks a lot. i agree. im currently on him

  12. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
    • 11 Years

    Lanzini or King?

    1. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      two different prices but if it doesnt matter, go lanzini

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        This. It's not even close, really.

    What happened to Terry tonight ?

        Cheers . Zouma being nailed on for the next couple would be nice

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

          but he has played 90mins for the last 6 fixtures....

          1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Some were at right back with Ivanovic out and lets face it with Terry and Cahill at the club he is not going to be 100 % nailed . I hate having that nagging doubt that he is one bad game away from being dropped

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

              21pts in last 5 games for him. He's a big threat in the box. I'm seriously considering him.

  14. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The thing is if I get Firmino, I'd have to lose Sanchez or Lukaku to get Kun in the future. As opposed to Vardy.

  15. bennyp
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hey lads! Seem to be on track for my best season yet 🙂 Thoughts on what to do here?

    Hennessey - (DDG)
    Moreno - Dier - Simpson - (Kompany# - VVD)
    KDB - Mane - Barkley - Sanchez - (Drinkwater)
    Kane - Lukaku(c) - Vardy

    2 FT and 0.5 ITB

    I'll play Kompany over Simpson if fit, any other changes to make?

    1. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      since u have 2 FT, its better to use 1 at least. so either use them to get kun if u r willing to or replace mane imo

      1. bennyp
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thinking Mane straight swap to Coutinho??
        No need for Kun at the moment with those 3 strikers on form

        1. semiconductor
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          if coutinho is fit, id do it or better if u can afford ozil

          1. bennyp
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            I could swap Sanchez for Ozil... Can't do Mane to Ozil unfortunately..

            1. semiconductor
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              i wouldnt get rid of sanchez all season unless he is injured

  16. Rhinos
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Watford's short term fixtures are immense, thinking of getting Abdi, he'll be a differential at least

    1. Larry Legend
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure if he's the Watford man, does he get in enough attacking positions? For me of your going Watford, it has to be Igloo or Deeney.

    2. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      i agree with the fixtures but not abdi to get

  17. Godot - Fashanu Zealand

    Is Zouma nailed?

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years

      yep coz terry stretchered off

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years

      Is he less than £5.0m?

      1. The Raging Bull
        • 12 Years

        5.4m

    I feel for the people who sold Sanchez. He'll get back to his best to haunt them.

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Despite blanking in last four transfering him out before nor,sun,avl is bit odd one.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Did he get subbed off early for a rest today at all...??

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

          No. He gets tired if he rest apparently

        2. Jose's Magic Omelette
          • 12 Years

          No

      Feel like Ritchie is starting to justify the season hype. Looks like he would be a nice piece in a 5 man midfield.

      1. Larry Legend
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Francis however... I have still got him but I'm not sure they well ever get a clean sheet. Sunderland defenders look better right now.

        There are others also to consider from BOU, King and Gosling. BOU vs EVE could be a goal fest.

    Hi guys,

    Who do I get for Pellè replacement? Can't afford KÜn. Own Lukaku and Vardy already. Obviously Kane is the top choice, but what about Benteke punt?? Like Watford's short term fixtures, but don't trust the, to score many.

    Thanks...!

    1. Larry Legend
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kane for me

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kane.

    3. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Just get Kane

    4. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kane or Giroud

      1. semiconductor
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        this

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Benteke isn't nailed unfortunately.

        of course he's nailed. When fully fit he starts

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers, lads. Hadn't contemplated Giroud. Isn't Walcott due back soon, though...?

    5. AverageJoe
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Giroud scores quite often

          No worries

  23. Sergeant Garcia
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If you have to bench one, who would it be: Mahrez or Vardy?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez

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

      Mahrez

    3. Jose's Magic Omelette
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy

    4. Sergeant Garcia
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers! One of the two will move after this GW, me thinks.

    5. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez.

    6. Fergietime
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy

    7. GoonSquad
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez only because Vardy will take PKs til the goal streak ends.

    San(c)ez all the way.

      Nah, I'm not afraid.

  25. The Raging Bull
    • 12 Years

    Anyone think Bou vs Eve could be high scoring?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yup. Lukaku to beat the 5 goal heroics of Aguero imo

    2. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yeah 1-5

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

        3-5

  26. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    9 shots inside the box by Dan Gosling over the last three Gameweeks is more than any midfielder.

    🙂

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

      How many on target???

      His teammate (King) stats are much better.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        King might get dropped

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

          scored in the last game, he's a starter.

      2. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        in what way are they much better?

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yup. Has been on my radar for last two weeks and will become my 5th mid when time is right.

    Guys,

    So I'm a student and managed to get tickets to Spurs vs Chelsea at WHL this weekend. Any advice?
    Never attended a football game in Europe and the stabbing of the West Ham fan has me scared. Is there really a police escort or something in derby games? I just ask because the ticket/official website predictably gives no important information..

    1. Taffer
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It will be fine - just make sure you know where you are going after the game as WHL is notoriously hard to get home from.

    2. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't worry about that sort of thing and enjoy the game. Best not to cheer too much if you're sitting in the wrong end though.

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

      Don't be scared in the slightest...If you went out on a Saturday night amongst 40,000 drunks in a town centre you'd have a much higher chance of ending up in a fight.

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

        I think I'm more scared because I'm brown, have been racially abused in London very recently.

        Thank you though fellas, very reassuring.

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Tough one then, but don't go to the Chelsea end, at least.

        2. Rains of Castamere
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          That post made me sad. It's 2015 for crying out loud 🙁

          Listen mate, just go and enjoy the game, try and get there early and just stick to the main streets and not side streets. It's a midday kick off so there won't be too many drunks. Just wear neutral colours, no white or blue, and relax. You'll be fine.

      2. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        use the force youll be fine

  28. Camp No No
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    From all roads to the Spurs defence, why (not) to choose the one that goes through Walker?

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

      Cheapest and nailed on. Trippier has been a wreck.
      I have Alderweireld myself, but I got him cheap.

      He averages a goal every 2 years, so if its this weekend goal that you chase you may be disappointed.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        So, he is nailed on? He looks like it, by his history. Just his performances put me off.

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

          Yes very much so. The RBs on the roster are Tripper, Dier, Toby. Trippier has turned out to be incompetent (thus far) and the other 2 are doing too well in other positions to move there. So however bad he performs, he will play.

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks. I might just get him then.

      2. Camp No No

        Thanks btw.

  29. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years

    I think the time might have come to part ways with Ayew. Which mid, besides Barkley, could I bring in for 7.3M max?

  30. Slam
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Captain Kane or Lukaku?

    1. yemzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Lukaku
