Our first members article of the week analyses a number of key statistics from the previous round of fixtures. We cast an eye over Tottenham, Newcastle and Man City’s midfield and strikers and also assess Watford’s out-of-sorts attack as the Hornets struggle for a cutting edge.

          Wasted time earlier in the week comparing ighalo and Kane to decide who to sell.

          Could have just read the article and arrived at the same conclusion.

              Just doing my bit for FFS and helping to sell more memberships.

              Great article, green arrow guaranteed. I'll tell you next week what the right thing to do was 😉

          How funny it would be if Mahrez trolls his sellers this week

          1. Nerazzuro
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            Plan to sell next week but a big haul would make me reconsider

            It would be the least funny thing ever!

              • 11 Years

              You spelt most wrong

        4. HammersFan
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Any reason why De Gea or Lloris isnt on the watchlist?

          Surely a better option than Boruc, Bunn, Howard, Hennessey, Fabianski, Mignoet. Makes no sense unless Im missing something?

          1. theoldgit
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            I asked that question over a week ago.

            I accused admin of taking their eye off the ball and giving bad advice.

            The fob off I got from Andy was, " We can't be perfect all the time".

            Your wasting your time asking questions like this.

            1. HammersFan
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 14 days ago

              Bunn better than De Gea!!!

              I rarely look at it tbh but some of the picks seem...odd

              1. theoldgit
                • 16 Years
                10 years, 14 days ago

                Odd is an understatement.

                I wont be wasting my money next season to get advice like this.

                good
                OR is sh!t need come back just like you did from 500k to 100k in 5/6 GWs ... WCed last week and hoping for come back too

                1. NABIL - FPL otai
                  • 13 Years

                  Well done. To us 😉
                  OR at this stage is still nothing. As long as we're not THAT far off top 10k I think we should still be optimistic.

        6. marquinhos
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 14 days ago

          Jags or Bainsey?

          1. Najoman86
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            I'm pondering the same question myself. Tough call.
            Replacing Kolarov?

            Jags is the cost-effective option. Baines the premium-priced option with what has now become questionable attacking threat (2 assists over the weekend)

          2. The Hound
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            Baines. Jags better bps but Baines attacking threat is worth it.

        7. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years

          Butland sale price 4.9 fantastic

          10 years, 14 days ago

          So , I was bored yesterday , so I found out the average xA per match for all teams in the last 6 matches , here are the results-

          TOT 0.57
          MCI 0.77
          WAT 0.82
          WBA 0.84
          MUN 0.87
          AVL 0.9
          SOT 0.95
          STO 0.97
          ARS 0.98
          CHE 1.04
          NOR 1.04
          SWA 1.07
          WHU 1.15
          CPL 1.18
          BOU 1.2
          EVE 1.2
          LEI 1.21
          LIV 1.27
          NEW 1.35
          SUN 1.43

          Note :
          I know xG is a better measure for goals scored , so take these numbers with a pinch of salt
          6 fixtures is a very short sample size and susceptible to variance
          I have not accounted for fixture difficulty but as soon as Mr.Caley updates his data , I will update the numbers for fixture difficulty

          Lastly , what do you think of this?And should I make one for xG too? And should I add fixture difficulty

          1. Amateur Pundit Zan
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            I think you need more disclaimers. If I lose points because of this you could be liable. If you like I can ask our legal department to turn it into 40 pages of incomprehensible prose that you have to agree to before receiving the information 😉

            In terms of the content I like these measures as it helps to connect actual performance (goals conceded) with some underlying stats to give an indication of whether it is down to luck. Fixture difficulty is important as a rating of 1 away to city is better than 0.9 at home to WBA.

            1. Eden Hazardous
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 14 days ago

              The thing is I added fixture difficulty yesterday but realized the data I had for the whole season was not updated till GW 22 , so as soon as I get my hands on it , I will update 🙂
              I was pretty satisfied even without fixture difficulty added as the ranking meets my eye test (bar Man City)

              Thanks for the response tho.

          Which gws are usually the blank ones. I know the cc one but what weeks are the fa cup?

            • 12 Years

            30 and 35

              Yeah that could leave a headache in the fallout after gw34. Glad they have nothing to do with gw 33 though which was a sudden concern.

          Dont know what to do with the below. 2FT 3.4ITB

          Schmeicel - Butland
          Azpi - Evans - Bellerin - Moreno - Toby
          Silva - Mahrez - Alli - Payet - Ozil
          Kane - Ighalo - Lukaku

          Azpi + Mahrez + Ighalo -> Simpson + Stanislas + Kun. Would u do for -4 now or just Azpi to Simpson this week and free next week?

          Thanks in advanced!

            Probably don't take hit

              10 years, 14 days ago

              Yeah thinking just Azpi to Simpson this week and if all goes to plan, the other two next week. Hopefully price changes dont affect the plan!

            Coin toss, the three you want have lower ownership than the three you own so if you're trying to gain ground the -4 could be worth it.

                    I had Baines in my team and a bet on him to score. I was devastated by what happened.

                    Well I can laugh it about it now...at the time I was not impressed. I mean you get him because he's on pk etc. then I see this nonsense...

            I've been impressed with what I've seen of late. Over the coming fixtures I expect a few decent hauls.

              • 10 Years

              Looking at fixtures i odd though considering all his hauls are against tough opposition?

          Are the FFS cup cut-offs determined?

          71 surely enough right?

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years

            Later today is the plan. Safe by my calculations.

          2. Zasa
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 14 days ago

            Definitely, apparently it's likely to be a 67/68 cutoff score

          3. Jay_
              10 years, 14 days ago

              66 for me, gutted

              So i reckon 72 safe for both comps

              It may be boring, but McCarthy->Elliot? Gets rid of dead weight (atm, i know he could get his place back) and gives you a potential DGW player whos nailed on and getting save points.

              From what you listed, A. Just not sold on Everton defense.

            Kdb to barkley or firmino?
            Need to do it to get aguero otherwise will have to play ighalo.

            1. HammersFan
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 14 days ago

              Barkley, it the move I did, although I dont have Lukaku. Firmino could be a good pick although he only seems to play well against the better teams when the have easier fixtures next.

                No aguero then

                • 10 Years

            10 years, 14 days ago

            Really want Kane over Igahlo. Can't make it happen. 0 FT and 2.6 ITB.

            Butland Hennessey

            Dawson Moreno Wollscheid Monreal Daniels

            Payet Mahrez Ozil KDB Alli

            Aguero Lukaku Ighalo

            Logic dictates that I should wait and do this in a couple weeks. Seems rash to play WC to make this happen now?

            PLEASE help. Thanks!

            1. Jay_
                10 years, 14 days ago

                Just wait a week, then KDB> Silva, Ighalo > Kane, you keep a City mid for potential dgw then

                1. Zoostation
                  • 11 Years
                  10 years, 14 days ago

                  Good advice. Seems completely unnecessary to force this now.

                2. Birds of Prey
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 14 days ago

                  Sounded good but that math doesn't add up. Wait a week since Ighalo is at home and Kane is away, can't hurt.

                  1. Zoostation
                    • 11 Years
                    10 years, 14 days ago

                    Ya puts me .5 out.

                    Kane is on the road next two and Ighalo at home for them.

                    Will have to hold off and reevaluate

                  2. Jay_
                      10 years, 14 days ago

                      Mahrez to cheapie like Gosling or Warson will be your best bet and upgrade Alli to your 4th mid, as you say though, well worth waiting a week, Mahrez and Igalho two good fixtures they could come good

                      1. Zoostation
                        • 11 Years
                        10 years, 14 days ago

                        Not sold yet on losing Mahrez.

                        I know it's trendy on here to consider dumping him now but if he finds his form again I don't want to miss out with his ownership.

                  downgrade Ali to a cheapie

                10 years, 14 days ago

                Hey guys, just checking I got the bench right for this week 🙂

                De Gea
                Alderweireld Baines PvA
                Barkley Ramsey Alli Wijnaldum
                Aguero Kane Rooney

                Elliot Payet Daniels Williams

                As a Westham fan, we were very poor v Newcastle. Even at home I expect a close game with city. 0-0 or 1-0 either way. Lack of a decent striker is really going to hurt us I feel.

                1. Hy liverpool
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 14 days ago

                  Payet over any of your milfs

                  1. HammersFan
                    • 10 Years
                    10 years, 14 days ago

                    Barkley (swan H)
                    Ramsey (che H)
                    Alli (Palace A)

                    Wij (Wat A) would probably be the best switch as he is much better at home, although was impressed by him against us last gw. Best Newcastle player.

                2. NABIL - FPL otai
                  • 13 Years
                  10 years, 14 days ago

                  Payet over Alli or Wij imo. He's still 'unbenchable' atm

                  I think Bilic's strategy is better when you guys play away games, i.e those victories at supposedly difficult way fixtures. When at home where you need to break the defence or bring down the parked bus, maybe the players bar Payet are geting hard times. just my 2 cents.

                  1. HammersFan
                    • 10 Years
                    10 years, 14 days ago

                    Yep and we have no decent option up front. Was really hoping we could have got Austin.

                    Sakho and Carroll injured most of the time
                    Jelavic is just awefull (although to be fair scored a nice goal last gw)
                    Valence to inconsistent.

                    At least Carroll was great for bringing the likes of Cresswell/Payet into the game for crosses etc. Jelavic just doesnt compare for being able to hold up the ball.

                    Alli looks good and plays struggling Palace. Wij would be the one to drop I think. Cheers 🙂

                Currently have Moreno on the bench, would you play him before any of the following?

                A) Dawson
                B) Bellerin

                Anyone keeping ighalo and why? Apart from the fixture reason.

                  My only reason is the fixture and I have a strong front 8 , so can bench Ighalo in the tougher fixtures

                  This week will be my 4th week in a row without taking a hit, that's a first in my entire FPL career, really boring playing like this though

                        That's what made me stop, I see all the good players like Mark and Triiggerlps very rarely take hits and since December those two are slowly making their way up to where they belong

                    Who to bench: Ozil, Alli, Antonio, Arnautovic, Mahrez?

                    Also, play Zouma or Cresswell?
                    Thanks

                      Antonio or Arnau. Maybe Antonio since I think LEI - STO will be an open game.
