It’s time for the first members article of the international break now, as we delve into the data from Gameweek 7.

Alexis Sanchez, Sergio Aguero and Zlatan Ibrahimovic come under analysis after their Gameweek 7 armband failures.

Paul Pogba’s improved displays without Wayne Rooney in the Man United XI and Nacer Chadli’s start to life at the Hawthorns are also assessed.

    Antonio & Rashford -> Walcott & Wilson, no hit.

      I've got 2ft so I may sell, but only as I think there are better options.
      Wouldn't say he was finished and wouldn't be surprised if I get him back at a later date

      1. Bazzalona
        • 14 Years

        Wrong flipping post.

  4. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    If we believe Baines is still on penalties, is he a player you should never bench? Am in doubt between him with city away or Smith (HUL) or Holebas (mid).

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Who are the rest?

    2. super711
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      good point
      gotta play Smith tho
      if u don't play him v hull at home then......

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Current defense

        Baines (mci), Kos (SWA), Smith (HUL)

        Bench: Holebas (mid) and Amat (ars)

        1. super711
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          kocsielny Smith and toss up between baines and holebas

        2. King Kohli
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Bench Baines for Holebas

  5. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Antonio owners, what's your plan? Are you keeping due to good fixtures, or you think he's finished?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Holding on for two more games

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1. LC1
          • 11 Years

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

    2. Bazzalona
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Probably selling but he's not finished

    3. Costa's Counsellor

      SON

    4. King Kohli

      fine
      but if maverick
      valencia to mustafi

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

    5. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Valencia out. Antonio to Son/Walcott maybe (I already own Walcott and Antonio, and I would keep Antonio if I'm getting Son this week)

      Anyway, great team IMO, well balanced structure.

      1. Clifford☯
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks ! Tempted to get Son.might get him in before Deadline.

    5. Sylas

      Undoubtedly!

    6. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm considering getting him over Walcott and reinvesting in defence

    7. DA Minnion (Former great)

  10. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    All talk about ARS/TOT defs, anyone considering Fuchs? 5.4, CSs, assists, bonuses, and great fixtures right around the corner.

    1. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      After Tottenham game he should be on the radar, but now 2 out of 3 really tough games.

    2. HNI
      • 12 Years

      Leicester are already on holiday this season...

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        3 CSs already

        1. Sylas
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          This + they are undefeated in the Champions league.

    3. Ziegler1988
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Shhh

    4. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      yeah.
      also if you had him already you'd have likely benched v liverpool and man utd anyway so would be enjoying his returns

  11. HVT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Either of these wortha hit?
    A-Tonio > Son
    B - Rashford > Deeny/Defoe
    Thanks

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Debating B with Deeney myself but i'll likely hold

      What was your FT mate?

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Valencia > Kos, not sure if I've got my priorities right but it's done now, I'd take the hit in a heartbeat if I thought it would pay off, but I'm not so sure.

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Great move.. yeah i think you gotta hold on to the 4 points with this one..

    2. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nein

    3. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, not for a hit.

    4. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I would do B if had to...I am taking a hit for Rondon-->Deeney...Playing safe cost me Koscielny as I thought saving instead of taking out deadweight Baines

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Do you see Rashford as a deadweight?

        1. HNI
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          He isnt consistent..and being in a already inconsistent team hardly helps...Manutd will finish in top 4 but Rashford although very good is more dependent on self confidence than others..

          1. HVT
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            I hear ya and slightly regret my 'Rash' move the previous week to move Tekkers > Rashy, I seem to get over concerned about offsetting Ibras 'hattie' V Stoke!
            πŸ™

  12. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    How would you improve this team?

    Jaku Pickford
    Walker Williams Holebas Evans Amat
    Sanchez Firmino Antonio Capoue Fletcher
    Kun Ibra Lukaku

    2FT 0 itb. Would you take a hit for an Arsenal def?

    A) Ibra + Capoue ---> Deeney + Son/Walcott
    B) Ibra + Capoue + Williams ---> Deeney + Son/Walcott + Mustafi

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      If you can afford do Ibra+ Fletcher to Deeney + Sterling...Capoue is season keeper for 5 mid imo

    2. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A with Walcott

    3. Humlesnurr
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A with walcott

  13. HNI
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    When does the 5 YC card suspension tightrope reset? Although I dont have Costa, for the good of my rank what to know how many games he has to get a Yc...

    1. King Kohli
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Think after 31st Dec, not sure

    1. HNI

    2. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. HNI
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Agreed..better than people whining or saying is 100 a good score this week...Meh never see them when they score 29 like I did last GW

        1. HVT
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I peaked just before the 3pm KO on sat, thought I was heading for the tonne!
          Lol!

    3. PvA
      • 9 Years

      Int break and last gw was bad for many people

  15. Chasing Waves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Heaton.

    Clyne. Evans. Pieters.

    Antonio. Cout. Sterling. Sanchez.

    Rashy. Kun. Lukaku.

    Foster. Capoue. Williams. Amat.

    0.1 and 1ft. Think I'm gonna save ft as Sterling and Clyne to he assessed. Any suggestions? Ta

    1. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Save for now, maybe look to lose Rashford

  16. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Best captain gw 8
    A) guero (EVE)
    B) Costa (LEI)
    C) Firmino (MUN)
    D) Walcott (SWA)
    E) Benteke (WHU)

    1. L S P
      • 10 Years

      if only there was some kind of poll that 100s if not 1000s of people voted in to answer this question...

      1. HNI
        • 12 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        No captain poll atm, and I'd like to hear what people think on that matter πŸ™‚

      3. Humlesnurr
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        That would have been awesome!

    2. Miguel Sanchez

    3. ANON.

      1. WALOR

        A

    4. Humlesnurr
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero (C) should be mandatory

  17. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    RMT

    Heaton
    Bellerin, Stones, Evans
    Alexis, Sterling, Coutinho, Capoue
    Aguero, Lukaku, Deeney

    de Roon, Kaboul, Amat

    Stones, Evans and Capoue all on my hit list

    1. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      It's ok, like you say need a proper 4th mid in and defence needs some work. At least you have Bellerin though

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Didn't you use to say that going without zlatan is pointless?

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Mmm yes he did but he also said a lot of other things too .........

  18. Viprin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone keeping Rashford? Do you still think he will still be nailed although Martial scored?

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

      For sure.. Martial will take Lingards place

      1. Viprin
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Martial not so good on the right isn't he?

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          He's really a natural number 9 as is Rashford but both are supremely talented and offer a lot attacking from wider areas..

    2. Chasing Waves
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I have him and will hold against Liverpool. Local lad and big game he could easily produce even if not from the start. If he blanks I may look to ship.

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Only had him for the Stoke game - bit concerned he seemed on the peripheral somewhat.

      Have to say toying with a downgrade to Wilson for his fixtures and use cash to beef up elsewhere. That or Deeney. Will depend on state of squad come Friday.

  19. HNI
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    WHich of these would you rather have for near future?

    1) Antonio + Firmino + Rondon
    2) Snodgrass + Firmino + Rondon (-4)
    3) Snodgrass + Mane + Rondon(-4)
    4) Antonio + Firmino + Deeney (-4)

    Currently thinking 4...

    1. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Snodgrass, Mane, Deeney

      1. ANON.
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        If that's not possible then 4 probably

      2. HNI
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        That will be -8 which i think isnt good...I will go 4th then...

  20. Viprin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Pick 1 to bench
    A) Walker
    B) Smith
    C) Kos
    D) Holebas

    1. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Quite tough, D probably

  21. SUICIDE SQUAD
    • 9 Years

    thinking bolaise for snodgrass
    could do with the 0.3 funds
    wise or no?

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Keep Snoddy

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      wise in a week

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I have Snod and its an interesting call. May be on pens if Hernandez keeps losing pitch time along with the free kicks, plus better fixtures coming. What concerned me about Hull was how they collectively seem to fade badly in games - they really need a new manager and stability fast.

  22. SUICIDE SQUAD
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    apologies meant snoddy for bolaise

  23. applebonkers
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    very minor detail, but noticed john stones got a big bps score in the loss against spurs. maybe his point ceiling could be 7 or 8 going forward

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Mustafi's impressed me as well.

      1. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        he seemed to do all koscielny's defending, very impressive

    2. GENERATION X

      Watching the way City play with Bravo and passing about on their own byline I have reservations about him and cleanies. Plus he is not really one of those 'up for the set play' type guys. If he hits a long ball its gonna be to wide guys.

      I guess if you had a nailed Kolarov at LB he would be of interest...

      He is like Blind. He makes many passes as well as a good amount of CBIs so a potential BPS magnet.

      On the other hand, if City score 4 goals in a game, they will likely have 3 or 4 attackers that are high on the BPS which makes it even harder for Stones.

      Stones' point ceiling is 2 points

        I can see 3 clean sheets in the next 6.

    Foster (Pickford)

    Bellerin Shaw friend (Baines, amat)

    Sanchez Antonio sterling capoue Firmino

    Aguero lukaku (diomande)

      Cheers Özil. Beginning to think Mr. Lallana might have to make way for Mr Walcott or even Mr. Sanchez.

    Hmmm, if I can afford Bellerin - is it definitely worth getting him over Mustafi?

      I think so, will only take a handful of assits to achieve a better points / cost ratio and there are so many options in the front 8 that we shouldn't be scrimping on a big defender or two.

      Yes - I'd love to own him for next few fixtures he looks primed for point. Two stop move though I can only get to Kos.

    Valencia and Puncheon to Mustafi and Snodgrass for a (-4) ?

      Don't transfer Puncheon if possible this GW, since he's playing West Ham

        Yes....but I have been monumentally unlucky...and somewhat over the top with taking hits.

        last year I was 435,313 after GW7 and 42,853 after GW8, somehow I can't see a jump of 400k places happening this year.

      Dropped from 80K to 300K in 1 gw... hope that counts

      look on the bright side.
      This last Gameweeks highest scorer jumped 1.5 million place into the top 100k.
      anything is possible.
