We cast an eye over the members’ data now, assessing some of the top performers over Gameweek 4’s fixtures. Chelsea and Everton’s improving frontmen are assessed, as are West Ham and Man City’s standout weekend performers, whilst we also analyse a couple of new recruits at Goodison and the Bet365 ahead of some fine fixtures.
Antonio
Sanchez
Bolasie
Firmino
Pick two...GO!
Antonio and Firmino for me
Firmino and Sanchez, obviously.
Antonio is probably the best value of all 4 though
Antonio Sanchez
Sanchez Firmino
Huge dilemma
Which one
a) Antonio, Sanchez, Stones
b) Payet, Cazorla, Walker?B but with Baines/Valencia
Firmino and Sanchez defo
bolasie antonio
Firmino and Antonio
Bolasie and Sanchez.
But then I always have them even when they play kak...which has been quite often over the years for Bolasie.
BTW...that midfield 4 may well be as good as it gets right now imo...
Antonio + firmino easily
SF
You should be able to fit them all in your midfield.
That will be mine next week. 😉
Sanchez Firmino hands down
A, F
Please rank in order of dropability
A. Aguero
B. Ibra
C. Hazard.
D. Arsenal coverage
E. Liverpool coverage
F. Lukaku
Impossible to have all 6.
5 is possibleFDEBCA
Ibra out of you can afford Sanchez and Firmino
ozil and firmino - sanchez may require another drop off that list
CBDEFA
Of basing it on say the next 5-6 gws then I would say Hazard with a view of getting him back in once his tough fixtures clear.
*If basing
Can be done actually ... Just tinkering with my side, will look like this:
Pickford/heaton
Baines/evans/kone/kelly/smith
Cap/haz/lalla/cazorla/snod
Kun/ibra/luk
With 0 left itb, but covers abcdef
nice, but you missed
g. Antonio / Payet
Sanchez captain... who's with me?
I'm thinking Benteke or Zlatan
Doesn't seem like the kind of game he'll prosper in tbh - Giroud/Ozil to do well.
I'm going for Kane, but if you don't have him, I reckon Ibra is the standout - Watford are very very poor at the back this seasonThis
going zlatan, watford's defence is shoddy
Zlatan
The beast Costa
maybe Hazard
Sorry, previous post fail
Huge dilemma
Which one
a) Antonio, Sanchez, Stones
b) Payet, Cazorla, Walker?
Best mids if you're on a WC?
Hazard, Firmino, Snodgrass, Ozil/Cazorla/Antonio, Capoue/4.5
Antonio, Hazard, Firmino/Mane, Capoue and Sterling/Ozil/Bolasie
Hazard sanchez antonio firmino capoue
Hazard - Lallana - Cazorla - Antonio - Capoue/4.5m
Hazard, Cazorla, Firmino, Antonio, Capoue. Perfect midfield IMO.
I know its early but is 46k a good rank at this point? still have my WC
I think you know the answer.
maybe i did wanna toot my own horn there.. haha
still..i would imagine lots of people on this site have a much better rank
terrible
46k is a pretty brilliant rank at almost any time.
Unfortunately, you are only one poor week away from being outside the top 500k! I saw someone say they jumped from 1.1m to within the top 100k this past gameweek...
That'll be me this week
It is but way too early to think about it... I was chuffed with my 22k rank last GW until I dropped to 256k in one week
I went from 300 k to 600k this week .don't toot your horn too lovely.
Good rank but at this stage it means nothing as you'll have ten or even hundreds of thousands of players around you on either the same rank or separated by only a handful of points.
The chips also make your rank fools gold as you'll never really know your true rank until the end of the season once all chips are played and out of the game.
I get you though, it's fun to build your ego even if you know it's not real. I do it too. 😉
I'm on 16k, which is a shock tbh
Ok revamped question.
A) Sanchez and Bolasie
Or
B) Firmino and Anonio
Go!B
B)
B
Really? Arent you worried about sanchez??
Of course. I took that into account. I decided the combined points of B would outweigh the combined points of A, hence my pick.
B
I might be going with them 4 😛
B
Really don't get all the Snodgrass and Cazorla hype.
snoddy will fade off as the season progresses..and Cazorla is a terrible pick IMO
Caz On pens. That's basically why.
That is a terrible comment IMO. Cazorla is a very good pick, he is on penalties and the majority of set pieces. We have seen quite a few penalties this season and Cazorla himself has scored 2 of them.
In previous season he has been priced at 8.5-9m, I consider a player with this much responsibility in a top team to be a bargain at 7.5m
Ignore the stats from last season where he only got 3 assists because he was injured for the majority of the season. Instead look at the previous 3 seasons, double digit assists in 2 out of 3 of the seasons.
I can't see how out of all this you say he is a terrible pick? If it's the fact he is playing deep then that argument again is flawed as he is allowed to roam further forward when playing alongside Xhaka in particular. He peppers in 3/4 shots regularly a game.
Cazorla pick analysed perfectly. This is why I want him.
My only concern would be him playing deeper once Ramsey comes back into the fold.
Snodgrass is very cheap and takes all the set pieces (and is rather adept at them too). A great enabler with the cost of Aguero/Ibra to consider.
Cazorla is taking pens (of which there have been a lot this season) and is the cheaper alternative to Sanchez and Ozil who had a badly timed blank in the last match.
both Snodgrass and Cazorla are very good picks priced as they are . . . great value.
Thoughts?
Zlatan and hazard to kdb and costaHell no. Tf you thinking?!
dear god nooo
Seems a little like chasing last week's points. Costa ban impending and KDB to likely be less effective with Ageuro back. Hold.
Wrong move at any time in my view unless both injured.
no
Please rank these four in terms of how many points you think they will score this weekend:
A. Sanchez ( Hull away)
B. Ibra (Watford away)
C. Sterling ( Bournemouth home)
D. Lukaku (Boro home)
I've put them in the order I think so it will be interesting to see how much you change them around!
Thanks guys!8

wildcard this week,
Pickford:
Walker Kingsley Baines
Sanchez Hazard Antonio Bolasie
Ibrahimovic Lukaku Benteke
Jakupovic: Capoue Smith McAuley
thoughts guys?
Not convinced Kingsley is nailed
You're going to struggle with those keepers.
I am really hoping Redmond has a good weekend. He's the perfect FF asset.
Midfield playing striker, and only £6m, and playing for a very good team. Just not happening for them at the moment.Europa is a huge problem. I wanted to keep him long term, but can't afford him anymore. Bolasie seems a better option short term anyway
Don't get duped by that "on paper" striker lark. Plenty of other mids are playing a higher avg position than Redmond and don't even get recognised for it.
Redmond is no further up the pitch than even Tadic in his own team.Here's the best "furthest forward" mid for this weekend btw...away team...http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/matches/855206/
He is but as an owner I'm worried about Europa League affecting his minutes/form (what form!)
I'm still not convinced he's very good.
If he doesn't perform for you this gw I'd be looking to get rid of him. 5 gws is ample time to have a non performing player in your team, and at his price point there's plenty of performing alternatives.
If he finds form later you can always bring him back in.
"Mourinho confirms Phil Jones has suffered lateral knee ligament damage and is expected to be out for a month. Did it in training recently"
The new Diaby
Do we think Shaw will play this weekend?
Yes
Hazard > sanchez worth -4?
http://imgur.com/a/g1PN2
ta
No. I don't think that's even worth it for free.
nope
Wouldn't even do it for free...
Get both if you can.
no
Not a chance
They play each other next gw.
no, it's silly.
What happens when Gundogan is fit? Rotation or Silva/KDB shifted wide?
I think he'll rotate with Silva
Good question. I assumed he would rotate with Fernandinho and play deeper?
I think he's more of an 8 than a 6. At Dortmund he played alongside Bender/Weigl/Kehl who are more defensive minded.
ah thanks, that helps
He's a DM, right? It would be Fernandinho to go, wouldn't it?
It will make Aguero even more essential and City's midfield more of a minefield.
From gw6:
1. Lukaku firmino sterling walker
2. Lukaku ozil sterling holebas
3. Aguero bolasie firmino holebas
Which one is better?

Who is clouser to Man Utd starting XI Rashford or Mkhitaryan (for PL ofcourse)?
I think that Rashford must play, he makes team sharper, but his natural position is not on the wing and Rooney and Ibra are untouchables, so I m not sure...
He'll start this weekend probably on the wing. At some point Mou will put Rooney there instead.
The extra .2 is worth mcauley over evans....im on wildcard..is it worth it to lessen the risk of injury
You're on the wrong horse altogether. Hole as is the one IMO.
*Holebas
Depends where else you can use the 0.2
Just my exactly my extra itb...should i just keep it
Don't think so
Hi guys,
Please rate my WC team.
Foster, Pickford
Baines, Walker, Galloway, Holebas, Amat
Haz, Caz, Sterling, Firmino, Capoue
Zlatan, Lukaku, Deeney
Zlatan to Aguero next Gw.
Comments appreciated! 🙂
Noob question.
Aguero was my UCL captain, but didn't play. He plays tonight.
Q. Can I still change to Ronaldo?
Thanks.Yes.
But you should really be asking yourself why you captained Aguero in the first place over a Barca attacker.Don't have one 🙂
delet team
30 from 3, 8 to play. But I agree.
UCL is the best game imo
Have you tried changing it?
It worked. But Uefa site plays mind games 😛
Barkley -> Cazorla?
I would
Not yet. Wait for the Friday's presser.
why Barkley out ?
He will score big this gw 😉
I think ive managed to gather a decent team with kunbraku
Foster
Williams stones Valencia kingsley amat
Hazard lallana Snodgrass capoue Antonio
Lukaku ibra aguero
Yes mf lack big hitters except hazard but Antonio lallana seemed to be good budget buys and Snodgrass and capoue can rotate and who Is to say capoue can't continue his scoring streak.
Thoughts?I like it a lot.
Been playing around with the same. It's basically either that or 4.5m defs. e.g.
Heaton - Pickford
Evans - Pieters - Robertson - Holebas - Amat
Hazard - Cazorla - Lallana - Antonio - Maloney
Aguero - Ibra - LukakuI think benteke match lukakus output
If you were arsene wenger would you start giroud this week
Trying to get into his head but it's not easy.If I was Wenger I wouldn't even be talking to him today let alone be planning to play him.
why?
Second year in a row he's got himself sent off in the first game of the CL....That would drive me up the wall.
This. After yesterdays shameful incident I would not even send him a christmas card
He was the one who impacted the game the most.
I'd start him every week but I gave up trying to work Wenger out many moons ago.
Yes. He is the first choice striker and its not like he has to worry about playing in the next champions league game!
Yes and he trusts Giroud.
Wenger on the red cards: "The ball was on the other side, I did not see what happened. I think the first yellow card [for Giroud] was very harsh already, it wasn’t a foul. The second, he tells me he has done nothing at all and Olivier is honest so I believe him. And Verratti told me as well that he has done nothing, so I said look, ‘go together to see the referee and tell him you did nothing."Did you see the replay of Marquinhos pushing Giroud into Verratti?
Yes! Dirty little pr*ck ...
If I was Wenger I'd retire and just swim in all that money I didn't spend all these years.
Giroud should play every week. Did u see the impact he had on the game yesterday after he came on. Created space for Sanchez to make those forward runs. Even impacted the game defensively by allowing Sanchez to track back and help Monreal on the left flank - something which Iwobi was not doing at all.
A) Ozil, Antonio & Firmino
Or
B) Sanchez, Fer & Firmino
What do u think
Hazard and Capoue are my other two midsA
Who's the best 4.5 defender? Is it still our pal Friend?
Evans or holebas
Holebas and Robertson could be good picks in the coming weeks.
So nobody considering Lukaku as captain this gw ? 😀
no except 763 people voted the poll
Always captain the latest fixture is my rule.
A) Kane + Bolasie
B) Lukaku + Cazorla
Kane vs Sunderland at home after what Lukaku just did to them is the option I'm leaning towards currently.
Ozil or Nolito captain this week? and why??
Which one of Haz or Sanchez to keep?
Thinking Sanchez will get more points with those fixtures, or is Haz essential, especially with pens?
