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.

Wild Rover
I won't cheat 😛
Hey, looks like someone beat me to the punch 😉
*Cue a gif
Y u be stereotypin?
Too hard basket it seems.
Someone call 911 😯
Literally mental to do this.
Erm....how come he is not last?
There is 15k teams after him when he is on -9000 points?Okay.
That minuspoints thing looks quite popular then.
Might be the way to go for me too next season.
I'm sure my luck with bench points would complitely change then.
Mikkelpop
Well done 🙂
Plan to do Hennessey->Elliot by the deadline, barring any other news or injury. Anything else needed here?
Butland, Elliot
Bellerin, Dann, Moreno, G Johnson, Simpson
KDB, Ozil, Mahrez, Ali, Payet
Kun, Lukaku, Kane
2FT 0.8M ITBHenn -> Ellliot to burn 1 Ft. Hmm you got me thinking.
We have the same front 8. Consider dropping KDB as well (madness I know).Cheers. Yeah, KDB on his last legs for me, but waiting to see if City make the cup final before selling
good move.
I guess no, your team looks good.
Cheers mate
As no other issues and 2ft seems good
Cheers

Did not expect that after 4 matches , when we had only 1 winI saw ! we timed it pefectly
We did! 🙂
Now to win Group A in FIFFSA!
e
D
Alli looking good and Palace slidingThanks all 🙂
Morning All. Itching to use my 2nd FT but is it better to hold? (already done Kolorov to Baines)
Butland
Baines/ Moreno/ Olsson
Ozil/ KDB/ Ramsey/ Mahrez
Lukaku (c/vc) Aguero (c/vc) Kane
McCarthy/ Stansislas/ Rose/ Ward
0 ITB 1 FT
Plan was next week-
Ramsey to Sanchez
Kane to 7.1ish forward.
A. Stick to plan
B Use the FT.
ThanksMorning SAB.
A for me. Consider Ramsey -> Payet. Very nice team btw.Cheers, its ok. ?s over Rose, KDB, Ward and Mahrez but nothing too urgent i guess
Maybe Ward and slightly Rose but the rest are fine.
Who are you looking at for the 7.1mish forward? Also , would you want to lose Kane with nor up next?
I need to sor the Kane, Lukaku, Aguero front line. Need to make a choice. Too much up front for me.
Kane to Watford forward to Austin when he gets starts is a loose planWatford;s next 3 fixtures after this GW
CHE tot cplyeah, that spot is open for a ess than 7.1 m player until Austin is up and running. Will look at some fixtures i guess
Morning SAB. A for me too. Your team looks fine for this week.
thanks
Sort by assists. Have I been blind to the fact about number 2? This is last 6 matches played.
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/public-stats-tables/view/13131/You've missed his run for the year
Quite possibly.
What to do with my 2 FTs? Burn one? Never did that in more than a decade. Just 0.1 itb.
Butland Henn
Dier Dawson Moreno Wolly Ward
Ozil KDB Payet Mahrez Alli
Kun Lukaku Kane
Contemplating dropping Henn, Ward or KDB but not sure who to get.
Thoughts are really appreciatedWork on your defence. Daniels in for Ward maybe for his attacking prowess
Can't afford that now 🙁
People saying Henn maybe dropped? maybe shift him? Only as you have 2fts.
No real issues, im giving KDB more time, Ward could go but stumped on decent upgrades. Targett?Henn to be dropped? Never heard about that. I think it's not east for a manager to bench a goalie. It will surely demoralise the player a lot. Unless it's certain I think he's a hold. A good show against TOT and he'll be naield for starts like usual and the next 3 fixtures are really good.
Yesterday I've considered Dawson & Moreno -> Kos & Targett. 😆 Think it's too radical and maverick nowTo be fair only seen the Henn thing on here. I dont know if it real!
KDB ➡ Silva, the boring move 😆
Or maybe Simpson for Ward?I've actually considered that. Might be the best move but surely not popular here.
Ward -> Simpson eh. Hmm really nice. Considering Targett as well. Cheers
My thoughts are your thoughts above:-)
Burn one? Don;t think KDB -> Silva is good?
v.solid imo
Wolly/ward→Daniels or might be KDB→Firmino/Barkley if you feel puntyNice thoughts. No Firmino please. Liverpool stink atm 😛
😀
he played v.well against arsenal 😉Indeed 🙁
But then he needs another 10 games to score again 😉just like KDB !! I would wait for Firmino @7.7 rather than 10.8
A) play Alli, bench Willian
B) bench Alli, Willian > Firmino - 4ptC) Play WIllian.
Away to Arsenal?
He might score. ARS - CHE usually high scoring.
I wouldn't get Firmino for a hit
A for me
Which 3 would you play?
A) Moreno - nor
B) Bellerin - CHE
C) Huth - STO
D) Walker - cpl
E) Francis - sun
CheersACD
ACD
BCD
Do you think we can keep a cleanie?
There's always a chance althoguh very slim. He's still very attackign tough, and I just love MNF or last fixture of GW 😉
You're a big MNF fan 😆
Play Huth twice ACDC
Thanks guys, scared to bench Bellerin but think its the right call
Morning all, any suggestions on my team?
DDG
Simpson Dawson Moreno
Mahrez Payet KDB Ozil
Kane Lukaku Ighalo
Hennessey, Surman Bellerin Cresswell
2FT, 4.2ITB
A) Kane ➡ Aguero
B) Ighalo & KDB ➡ Aguero & 8.0 mid
C) Ozil/KDB out
D) Other
E) Save
Thanks.B) with Firmino/Wij
I'm not a fan of Firmino, he seems inconsistent. How about Barkley instead?
He seems inconsistent too 🙂
b with Firmino/Barks too for me James😆
Cheers guys 🙂
A for me
Thanks again SAB 😆
I like B but not this week. MAybe next week is more ideal.
A much as I love Cfresswell as a player, I think he's producing enough FPL-wise. Try dropping him for someone solid this week and play that guy over Moreno.
fwiw I'd play Cresswell over Moreno or Simp this week.*not producing. Ignore all wrong spellings.
Hmm I might do so, after checking City's scoring record in away games.
They are a beast at home, but away games? Maybe Pellegrini is having trouble.
Any stand-out replacements for Cresswell though? Saints looks solid again (2 CS in a row) but their fixtures are bad, and I don't trust Chelsea defenders yet.
I don;t know man, CS are vry hard to predict this year. People mentioned Daniels, PVA, etc. they may b e good too. Sagna or a MUN defender might be solid, but too pricey if they are not keeping CS.
Not considering MUN defender since I have DDG. Sagna with rotation risks is too pricey for me. Might follow everyone to get Daniels.
So you threw another choice for me. It's gonna be a transfer headache for me this week 😆
Anyway thanks for the thoughts 🙂np man
A and keep 1FT.
Good to go?
Schmeichel
Toby, Francis, Bellerin
KDB, Ozil, Mahrez, Payet
Aguero (c) Kane, Lukaku (vc)
Butland, Stanislas, Collins, Ward
0.4m in account. 1ft.
Any suggestions for next moves after saving this GW?Save
yep
Hey everyone,
Thoughts on my team? Any changes you would make? 0.4m itb
Who would you bench this week?
Butland, Hennessey
Jagielka, Alderweireld, Monreal, Simpson, Daniels
Ozil, Payet, Barkley, Mahrez, Gosling
Lukaku, Kane, Aguero
Cheers 🙂Good team. Save FT if you have only one.
I'd go Henn Gosling Simps Daniels
WHat'ss all this shouting?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4AQoIgUJB0Did we find out anything about the FFS cups today?
No. Mark is sorting it out today. 68 for both the minimum in my calculations.
Isn't it so often just 1 point above your own score.
Not for me. Normally safe or well off.
Anybody have any good stories of transfers that the community told them not to do, but they did it anyway and it actually paid off?
I have one. Got Walters last season on a WC and people said don't.
He then scored a hattrick.I went with Wijnaldum / Hazard / Firmino this season and people said don't .. they were right 🙂
😆
😆
and now I have Firmino again ... might captain him again this week 😀
good luck with that. But I would advice you against (c)ing a GW opener. Might be long weekend for you.
Kane(C) last week 😎
Well done.
Tht's because you don;t have Kun (c) 😎
🙂 I'm not the only one who is thinking about this things
probably lukaku thenLukaku (c) is better imo
cheers nabil
Luk (c) for you too ? or kun again?Kun
Form (even a bit) over fixture = theme of the season.
Check out teams 67-70
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/cup/8/teams/
Cheaters never proper 😛Lol
May be an honest mistake.Only one had his manager name.
No issue this time.Fair enough 🙂
Aha with that many teams you would think one might get a decent score..
Play 2 from
a. Cresswell
b. Nyom
c. Danielsbench C
Bench A..City will cause them problems
Bench a or c, tough choice
Thanks guys
I have just checked the scores of Arsenal vs Chelsea and since 2013, there has not been any games were both teams have scored.
Should i take a punt and play Ivanovic? I hate seeing a 6.5 defender on my benchIf you have Ivan you should him week in week out.
Not sure about your stats, but when people mention ARS - CHE I always remember 5-3 (RvP hatty), 3-2 (Kanu hatty), Drogba terrorising Senderos, etc.
The last game also should have seen more goals if not for the referee's dumb decision to send off Gabriel and Santi.*play him
Chelsea 3-1.
Bias opinion, but Chelsea have won most games in the past few years.
Thoughts on what to do with this team please:
Forster
Bellerin, Alderweireld, Evans
Payet, Ozil, De Bruyne, Alli
Kane, Aguero (c), Ighalo
(Hennessey; Mahrez, Wollscheid, Ward)
1 FT, £1.7 itb
Probably gunna do Ward -> Baines (and bench Alli)
I don't want to take hits, my only chance of winning money this season is in h2h and a last man standing leagues.I'd save FT.
Why the Baines love?
Good fixtures, return to form, possible DGW, but I guess it'd be better to wait a week and see if a DGW is confirmed next week.
Is Rooney worth a gamble now?
I think so.
But fwiw I think he just loves to score against NEW (proven stat) and in a big game like that in Anfield, so I'm not sure if hes going to do it again. SOU is keeping CS atm, and STO has Butland.yep. but for who? kun kane kaku ?no
so no 😀this. a lot
THIS
Only have 2 of the three mentioned.
Only if you want to gamble on something different.
Anyone think, as I do, that Arsenal will keep a CS?
If Costa doesn't play, very strong chance.
This. If Costa does play though I can see him causing problems for their defence
I agree, at times they don't like being bullied.
He is the kind to provoke someone like Koscielny and get him sent off
Totally
Any obvious moves for this week?
Butland
Bertrand-Alderweireld-Moreno
Ozil-Alli-Mahrez-KDB
Kane-Aguero-Lukaku
Hennessy-Ward-Stanislas-Simpson
0.3ITB, 2FTI'd be tempted to swap Bertrand out for Jagielka, but not necessary at all. Maybe Hennessy to Elliot and save the other FT
Think the Hennessy trade might be the way to go, don't really like or trust evertons defence
Diva , can you write a blog post on firmino please ?
A little out of box but I had Butland since GW1. He's done great. Price still rising.
Sell for Elliot? Gets me 0.9m which I can use to upgrade Mahrez to Barkley/Wijnaldum.Depends on your second keeper
Funny thing is i considered something similar. Everyone saying i should upgrade McCarthy to a playing keeper as dont have. Much to do with the teo frees.
I started thinking maybe it was better to keep mcCarthy and downgrade Butland. Kept thoughts to myself as knew everyone would hate the ideaI have no problems with picking a 4.5 GK with good fixtures and playing every week. I did that with Butland and look where it got me
Rudd
Mind you got Butland so cheap that its probably not worth it as losing so much value if sell.
Think people are crazy to be buying him now though at current price. Guess you can understand how they would be frustrated with all his points, but keeper points fairly randomIt's ironic that the reason for selling is that Stoke is so much better defensively now that Butland is getting fewer saves...
I've activated my wc & have been keen to include Mirallas & after reading an article on newsnow where Martinez after the Chelsea game said that Mirallas was outstanding & was Everton's best player then to me he seems nailed for the short term at least. I've also picked Firmino over Wijnaldum as the former is oop/plays Nowich & the latter plays for a team that seems to struggle away. However Wijnuldum is playing in the hole so I'm still tempted as even though they're playing away but he's up against a tired Watford who seem to be on the decline.
Have a look & see if you like. Thanks in advance. 1.5itb.
Butland (Elliott)
Baines, PVA, Fuchs (Toby, Targett)
Ozil, Payet, Mirallas, Firmino (Alli)
Aguero (c), Kane, LukakuWhats the latest nonsense surrounding DGW dates? Hard to keep up with all the misinformation
Diva had a very good blog post about it. I think the link is in his profile. I have it saved at home and at work atm so can't access it.
Hasnt it been busted, something about a couple of rules in the handbook
No idea
Thanks for that link Perchinho tharpts exactly what i wanted
no problem
Who to bench?
Firminho, Payet, Silva, Barkley, Alli
Lukaku, Kane, Aguero
Thanks!Alli
Alli
Thanks, Alli it is
8.5M?! Good signing if he keeps them up though.
http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11709/10136618/striker-steven-naismith-secures-norwich-move-from-evertonDo you think he will? I have doubts
He could well be a good option for all the casuals looking to offload Ighalo. Has goals in him when given a champnce
Howard
Bellerin, Moreno, Toby, Dawson
Payet, Ozil, Mahrez
Lukaku (c), Aguero (vc), Kane
Subs: Butland, Alli, Willian, Richards
No FT, 0.4 itb
Benching correctly? I would drop Bellerin if I have to play Alli or Willian. Captain?
Thanks!Captain choice so tough this week
Dont like Lukaku and dont like Aguero but have no one else either
Those midweek cup clashes next week put me off the pair of them. Everton in particular will give that cup game priority while ebven Aguero could see less minutes because of it, especially as they are trailing 2 q to everton after first leg
http://Www.triggerlips.comKane?
Not sure i trust Kane away at Palace.
I'm going Lukaku because Everton do well against the smaller team, are a high scoring team and Swansea played poor last game despite getting the CS. Might change my mind later this week though.
