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

    Presumably we'll hear about coutinho fitness by the weekend or are they playing tomorrow?

      said yesterday that he should be fine for the weekend as not as bad as feared.

      don't think he'll be invovled tomorrow which is even better news for owners.

      Was just going to ask the same.
      Worried that KdB is my man over Cout.
      But gamling on Kun's return for a KdB comeback

      There is actually talk that he won't risk at the weekend due to a mild hamstring strain.

      Players are returning from injury and there is enough cover for Coutinho.

      A.
      Get a vital (didnt use 'essential'!) player in who is rising in price, rid of player who is out and falling in price. No more bench headaches with 'proper' 5th mid

    Who to captain this week?

    Myhill
    Bellerin / Moreno / O'Shea
    KDB / Ozil / Firmino / Mahrez
    Aguero / Lukaku / Kane

    McCarthy / Wollschield / Janmaat / Westwood

    I'm really struggling between a few candidates.

    1. 32chickens

      luka

      1. 32chickens

        Thanks. I was king of swaying that way myself too.

    2. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku

  4. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Does this defence look weak?

    Bellerin Moreno Evans Ake Souare

    1. Paulie Walnuts
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd want a Spurs defender

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Me too but this where I'm going

        Stekelenburg
        Bellerin Moreno Souare (WILLIAMS, Evans)
        Sanchez Ozil KDB Mahrez (Lingard)
        Aguero VARDY Lukaku

        Williams KDB Vardy >> 4.7 Coutinho Kane

        1. Paulie Walnuts
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Ah i see...

          Why do you need to get rid of Vardy so soon?
          Is it a hit?

          1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
            • 11 Years

  5. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Team check. Good to go?

    Butland
    Bellerin Alderwield Moreno
    KDB Sanchez Firmino Deulofeu
    Aguero Lukaku Vardy

    McCarthy Rojo Westwood Francis

    1. Paulie Walnuts
      • 10 Years

      Nice team...

    2. Arteta

      G2G 🙂

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

      Rojo over Toby worth some thought?

  6. Kane Train
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Barkley or Deulofeu ?

    Rojo, Mertesacker or Smalling ?

    1. Paulie Walnuts
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B, C

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Barkley, Smalling

    3. Arteta

  7. YouReds
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Which 3 to play?

    1) Moreno vs SWA
    2) Kolerov vs SOU
    3) Coleman vs bou
    4) Ward vs NEW
    5) Evans vs whm

    Top 3? Correct order?

    1. Paulie Walnuts
      • 10 Years

      123

    2. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I might be tempted to play Ward over Coleman personally

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

        It just might come down to him not playing ðŸ™
        *Pardew
        *Kelly
        *Ward played crap on Monday

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

      Ward over Moreno for me

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

      1,3,4

    5. YouReds
      • 11 Years

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

    Who are the players who were performing well and as soon as you got them has done absolutely nothing ?

    Pelle and Ayew for me (combined 1 goal in 8 matches between them for me)

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

      Mata a while back

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

        Guess KDB should count as one too. He has got for me 5,3,5,3,2

    2. St. Joseph
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pelle, mata, kdb, mane

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

        these were all good options about a month back. dont know why they faded away

    3. Paulie Walnuts
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pelle and KDB

    4. DaveVak
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pelle is a classic one. This and last year.
      For me last 3 years it was Lukaku whom frustrated me most. This is why I brought it in only this week...let's see now

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

        yeap pelle one was so frustrating.

        4 goals and 5 assists in 5 games before i got him

        1 goal in 5 games after i got him.

        what a troll ðŸ™

        Mane yee.
        I think I've shipped him out twice

      KDB

      1. Arteta

      Bony, Pelle, Martial

  9. Kane Train
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    My team thoughts ? Would you do Mertesacker > Bellerin & Sagna > 4.7 def

    Butland
    Mertesacker - Sagna - Moreno
    Mahrez - Ozil - Sanchez - Coutinho
    Vardy - Aguero - Lukaku

    subs: Hennessey , Simpson, Gosling , Wolls

  10. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    On wildcard:
    A) Galloway, Sanchez, Firmino, Lingard
    B) Bellerin, Erikson, Coutinho, Lanzini

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

    Lukaku or Sanchez captain?

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

      Best answers you're going to get are a flip a coin answers

    2. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku

  12. DaveVak
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Bench one of:
    A. Mahrez
    B. KdB
    C. Ayew (Don't like this. Liverpool tend to lose the match after they beat a big gun, my gut says it will not be different, and he'll be the main culprit)

    2. Got Nyom, Naughton, Van Dijk in defense:
    A. Play Nyom
    B. Play Van Dijk
    C. Naughton out for a hit

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

      1C, despite your reasons!
      2A

  13. white lightning
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on playing Ake over Mahrez. Thanks in advance.

    Butland
    Smalling, Bellerin, Kolarov, Ake
    Sanchez, Ozil, Deulofeu
    Lukaku (c), Aguero, Vardy

    McCarthy, Mahrez, Redmond, Richards.

    (a) go with above or
    (b) play Mahrez & bench Smalling (3-4-3)

  14. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years

    Is Ramsey back this week? He probably play central along with Cazorla

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

      He is match ready, as shown vs Zagreb yesterday.
      But let his awful finishing stay you from recruiting him to your team

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        cheers

    2. DaveVak
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He's ready, but not in his preferred position.
      Ozil/Sanchez are the main guys at ARS.

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

    Any views please on best captain option?...don't have lukaku..

    Out of..

    Kane

    Kun

    Sanchez

    Thanks

    1. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kun IMO

    2. DaveVak
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez

    3. Jøssy â­
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I have all three, and I was on Kun, but am now thinking it's gonna be Sanchez after hit got back to goal-scoring ways last night.

    4. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kun

  16. EWH2020
    • 12 Years

    On a wildcard which draft is better?

    A)

    Butland, Hennessey

    Lukaku, Aguero, Kane

    B)

    Butland, Hennssey
    Moreno, Bellerin, Wollschied, Simpson, Cathcart

    Money no object, who would you bring in for Williams to be 3rd/4th defender
    Myhil/ Butland
    Rojo/VvD/Bellerin/Huth / ?

    My current options are

    Ward
    Alder
    Dier
    Rose
    Moreno

    Any other suggestions?

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ivanovic

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Moreno if you want to play it safe 😛

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

          Didnt look at CHE to be honest, since i dont trust their defense yet. Unfortunately.
          I have 0 players from Spurs and LIV. Tough decision to be quite honest.

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

            Yeah, a CS against the might of Norwich means little.

            1. Eden Hazardous
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              I was kidding mate - Even I have gone for Moreno

          2. Eden Hazardous
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            I have gone for Moreno

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

              I could have picked Moreno up for 4.8, but decided against it. Playing too safe at the moment.

              1. Eden Hazardous
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                4.9 is a bargain if he gets some assists

  21. Kevtheotter
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Was planning on getting Kun in this week but don't think I can drop anyone for him. Should I just sort my defence out or save?

    Butland
    Bellerin Evans Rojo
    Marhez Sanchez KDB Ozil
    Vardy Lukaku(C) Kane(vc)

    McCarthy Richards Huth Deadwood 2.3ITB 1FT

    A) Downgrade KDB/Sanchez and Vardy to Kun -4
    B) Richards or Huth out
    C) Save

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

      Team looks excellent, I'd save. Also, I'd bring in a Spurs defender after Chelsea.

    2. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      C and see how Aguero gets on in the coming weeks!

    Lukaku leading captain poll again, last week I made mistake when captain Vardy, currently on Kun (C) this week, or just play safe and follow the crowd?

      Go with ones gut

        who was your captain last week and this week?

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

          Lukaku and probably Lukaku

          I ranked gw13 Kane>Lukaku>Vardy on the head
          Gut is Lukaku>Kane>Kun>Vardy this GW

          1. OPTA FPL

            wow, plz dont lie me

              It's more of a broken clock/twice a day thing

    2. Paulie Walnuts
      • 10 Years

      Last week wasnt a mistake... he done well, he scored.

      Aguero this week for me.

      1. money face bandwagon

        agree. i am always happy when my captain scores..if i captained the top scorer in my team then it is a bonus

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

      Lukaku(C) - no guarantee but Bournemouth are absolutely shocking and Lukaku should bully them

    4. GoonerByron
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku again for me.. He's been doing well and could really bully Bournemouth.

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        people with Lukaku captain, do you have Kun?

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

          No.

        2. money face bandwagon
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          yes

    5. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku seems to be the man with form and a fixture, whereas Kane plays CHE who could do well but could also park the bus and Aguero is just coming back..

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

      Out of these 3, I'd go Lukaku. Don't think Vardy, nor Kun can score more than 1 in these matches.
      Only other real option to rival Lukaku for me, and only because of how he destroyed the opposition last night, would be Sanchez

  23. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Rest of team is:

    Sanchez Ozil Mahrez Lindgaard
    Kane Vardy

    Which combo do people prefer?
    A - Aguero and Barkley
    B - Lukaku and KDB?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Paulie Walnuts

    Butland ( Hennessey )
    Bellerin, Moreno, Nyom ( Simpson, Wolls )
    Coutinho, mahrez, Sanchez, Ozil ( Gosling )
    Vardy, Aguero, Lukaku

    Worth downgrading Vardy > Ighalo and Gosling > Lanzini

      Looks good to me, and no don't do that

        Going good, you?

        I've already given my dad his early Xmas present but other than that I've barely thought about it - I'm sure it will be an internet job 🙂

        I have an idea for the missus but haven't looked into it too much yet.

        1. SuperMario

          Good stuff..

          Hopefully be an Xmas period that finally shakes the casual FF players up from the dedicated 🙂

    There's a new option or my midfield dilemma:

    A. Erikson + Coutinho + Smalling
    B. Sanchez + Lanzini + Smalling
    C. Sanchez + Lanzini + Rojo

    Much of a media buzz in the countries you guys are for "Black Friday" ??

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

      FPL should do a black friday:
      50% chance of half purchase price on transfers. (WC excluded)
      Imagine the hits!

  29. RustyBz

    Can you all stop selling Kompany. Could really do without a drop.

    1. Sjaugen

      Towers is trying to. They red flagged him
