Next, we turn to our post-Gameweek members article, casting an eye over Spurs’ main men in defence and attack as the Harry Kane exodus picks up pace. Meanwhile, over on the other side of north London, a Gunners’ winger is assessed ahead of a very tempting schedule.

Chelsea’s recent struggles in attack also come under analysis, while we check out the impact of Michael Carrick on United’s big-money signing as the competition for places in our five-man midfields continues to escalate.

    Any suggestions?

    Pick
    Alonso Walker Lovren
    Sanchez Hazard Siggy Eriksen
    Costa Kane Anichebe

    Jaku Holebas Fletcher Love
    2FT 0.4 ITB

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years

      Eriksen -> Lallana

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years

      Costa to Lukaku

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Costa --> Ibra. Downgrade Lovren to fund it

    4. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Maybe Jaku to Heaton/Foster?

    a group of us from the knocks and niggles league set up a sub £9 mill league on fpl
    from a quick scan of comments it seems over past 10 ish weeks a lot of those teams have outscored our main team.
    Mine has even done it despite leaving armband on coutinho for two weeks after his injury and having firmino VC.
    when I look at the squads they all look great except the front line, but most have some cash in bank that good get a premium forward
    this could mean one of a a few things.
    1 we are all just bad managers in fpl normally
    2 there has been a spell of 7-9 mill players scoring well
    3 there may actually be something in having 15 strong players.

    anyone any thoughts on it as next season I may be tempted to go down this route

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      1 and 2 are far more accurate than 3 imo.

      By the way, shameless plug but I started a week later than all of ye and I'm 3rd in that league 😉

    2. Baz
      • 16 Years

      wouldn't be confident captaining a player

  4. dark91
    • 10 Years

    I am using the phone app and can see already the (cup) section in my leagues but not the opponent. Is it any different from the computer ?

  5. jayzico
    • 15 Years

    Prob been asked a zillion times on here. Sorry.

    How nailed is Phil Jones?

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Not extremely.
      Possibly slightly.

    2. AA33
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Pretty nailed. Mourinho himself has said that this defensive pair are doing very well. Bailly will soon depart for AFCON

      • jayzico
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Thanks guys, may leave my Rose> Jones transfer then. Problem is Jones goes up tonight and this transfer leaves exact cash for Kane>Kun next week

      Took my eye off the ball a few weeks ago and been chasing price falls/rises and bandwagons ever since.

      Desperately need some help to get back on track...

      Jaku, Pick
      McAuley, Holebas, Friend, Amat, Pieters
      Sanchez, Hazard, Firmino, Capoue, Fer
      Costa, Kane, Defoe

      Got 2 FT and £1.8 ITB.

      1. FPL_Hazards
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Fer needs to go
        Hazard a doubt and not in form if you want to raise funds

        1. Super Pav
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          For -4pts I can do

          Fer, Hazard, Firmino OUT
          Mane, Eriksen, Sterling IN

          Means I can play a strongish 5 this week without Costa, then bench Capoue without feeling bad when Costa's back!

      Taking everything into account, from value/price/nailed/attack/bps etc, which Man U defender would you suggest?

      Jones?

      1. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        If it got to be, it got to be Phil Jones

      2. Baz

        tony v

      3. Irish Madridista ⭐

        Tony.

        1. FPL_Hazards
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          worth £0.6m more than Jones?

          1. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            Yep, attacking potential and more nailed.

            1. FPL_Hazards
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              hmmmmmm i had Jones a few seasons back, he scored a goal - was around Xmas time actually

            2. kalmoffit
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              Where is this fabled attacking potential?

              1. Irish Madridista ⭐
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 29 days ago

                Same place David Luiz's attacking potential is.

                Underneath the obvious stat lies many other stats.

                1. kalmoffit
                  • 12 Years
                  9 years, 29 days ago

                  I had him when he was a winger. He didn't get any points then, either.

                  1. Irish Madridista ⭐
                    • 15 Years
                    9 years, 29 days ago

                    Haha fair enough, I don't own him either, sold him early on this year, but he does have more assist potential than Jones has goal potential imo.

                    Watch Phil nab the next 90th minute winner now.

                    1. kalmoffit
                      • 12 Years
                      9 years, 29 days ago

                      I know. Valencia will get an assist now I've dissed him

      4. Professor Abel X

        valencia

      5. AA33
          9 years, 29 days ago

          Valencia then Jones

        • kalmoffit
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          Jones for this month

        9 years, 29 days ago

        Have been busy recently. Posting after a long time.

        Anyways, rate my moves this gw.

        Costa+Kane+Vertonghen ➡ Ibrahimovic+Benteke+Bellerin for -4.

        Gives me -

        Pickford - Jakupovic
        Bellerin - Alonso - Mee - Amat - Lenihan
        Sanchez - Hazard - Alli - Sigurdsson - Carrick
        Ibrahimovic - Benteke - Defoe

        Then GW 20 I can do Defoe+Alli ➡ Aguero+Phillips for free.

        Thoughts?

          • 15 Years

          Nice. not getting Costa back?

          1. pundit of punts
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            Ibra has form and sublime fixtures and I cann't go without Aguero when he's fully fit.

            Got a good defense in place. So I hope that can cover Costa's points. he doesn't do big hauls anyways.

            1. Christina.
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              3 x 12 pts scores so far this season.

                • 12 Years
                9 years, 29 days ago

                Don't put doubts in my mind.

                I hate the guy anyways. lol

      7. elmes85

        Any realistic chance of Pep starting Iheanacho this week?

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          I think so.

          1. Ten Season Wonder
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            I HOPE so.

            He's wasted on the bench

            1. ★Kuntheman★
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              It worries me. If he's not getting gametime when Aguero's not there, and then not getting gametime when Gabriel Jesus arrives...could see him leaving. 🙁

      8. AA33

          FPL Cup fixtures have been released!

            • 13 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            I've drawn a dead team with Rose (c) !!!!!!

            He scored 65 last week with 9 players (also has Jay-Rod)

            1. AA33
                9 years, 29 days ago

                Nice for you 🙂

            From next week Livp have a difficult week followed by a good week:

            CITY/sun/manu/SWANS/CHEL/hull/SPURS/leic/ARS/BURN/City

            1. FPL_Hazards
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              saw that yesterday, our home games against top teams, away against easier teams

                • 15 Years
                9 years, 29 days ago

                I dunno what to make of it. Doing my head in.

                1. FPL_Hazards
                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 29 days ago

                  I only have Lovren and i'm probably ship for Brunty

            2. Irish Madridista ⭐
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              I'd fancy Pool to score in every one of them except for maybe manu depending on how tight Mou keeps it.

              Wouldn't be getting Lovren in though 😛

              1. Christina.
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 29 days ago

                ...and City? You reckon once Kun is back they will start clicking?

                1. Irish Madridista ⭐
                  • 15 Years
                  9 years, 29 days ago

                  I don't think Kun back will have an effect on Lallana / Coutinho's points, lets put it like that 😀

                  Not saying Pool will win most of those, but I fancy them to keep scoring at least.

                2. Irish Madridista ⭐
                  • 15 Years
                  9 years, 29 days ago

                  You getting Kun in?

                  Or just Ibra - Costa - cheap?

                  1. Christina.
                    • 15 Years
                    9 years, 29 days ago

                    No idea. My season is over. From chopping and changing I've missed the Hazard, Alexis and Ibra hauls. You couldn't have made this sh*t up. lol

                    Sell one...he scores...buy back...he stops...and the one I sell scores... 😕

                    So, to answer your Q, getting Kun I don't think is an option for me.

            3. pundit of punts
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              Avoiding Pool for now.

              Although Siggy ➡ Lallana is an easy swap if need be.

          3. Ten Season Wonder
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            HI and good tidings one and all...

            I have 2FT so is this (-4) a sensible idea? (all three are rising tonight)

            Costa > Zlatan
            Allen > De Roon
            McAuley > P.Jones

            will leave me with this team;

            Pickford
            Rose - *P.Jones* - Holebas
            Alexis - Hazard - Walcott - Lallana
            *Zlatan* - Kane - Iheanacho

          4. Christina.
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            a) JRod + Rondon
            b) Phillips + Tekkers

            ?

              Tough that.. Would lean towards A.

                  lol

                  Heaton should stay though. I vote B)

            4. pundit of punts
              • 12 Years

              B

              As they both are nailed.

              J Rod will surely have his minutes curtailed over the festive period.

              • 14 Years

              would be B for me. JRod did something for the first time in ages and Rondon isn't exactly profilic

            1 FT left after doing Costa to Ibra. Considering Toby > Valencia, any reason why I shouldn't? I know Toby is likely to play but I genuinely think Valencia could be "due" some attacking returns soon...

              I'm stuck between Tony V and Jones, cant help thinking the latter because he is cheaper. It not like Tony V is up there with Clyne/Rose/Alonso/Dave et al

            Hi Lads. Should I pull the trigger on Costa -> Ibra today?

            Team is:
            Foster
            Holebas Lovren Alonso
            Sanchez Hazard Lallana Eriksen Capoue
            Costa Kane

            Pickford Anichebe Amat Lowton

            Costa to Ibra this week and plan on downgrading a mid and getting in Aguero for a -4 somehow after. Good plan? Cheers.

              Yes

              Hmm I cant afford the straight swap of Costa to Ibra. Downgrade my mid now for the -4 or I could ignore Ibra.

            Hands up if you didn't qualify for FPL Cup 😀

            \o/

              What was the requirement to qualify?

                Top 2M more or less last GW.

                I rank top 70K but ranked 3M for the week 🙁

              Had the Gameweek rank covered by 10k but lost in the random draw :(.

            9 years, 29 days ago

            So if I've got this right two of (depending on semi results)

            Man City V Man Utd
            Leicester V Liverpool
            Hull V Burnley
            Southampton V Arsenal

            Will make up the first double gameweek and have a blank in GW26. When historically is that double normally played? before or after the blank?

            1. FPL_Hazards
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              often after the blank which makes it very hard to prepare

          9. FPL_Hazards
            • 13 Years

            FFS wll be shaken up when Kun returns, love FPL

            1. Chris_White
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              Gabriel Jesus will make things very interesting. I think he'll be a Guardiola favourite.

            2. The Man Pastore
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              He will be straight back in my team

              1. FPL_Hazards
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 29 days ago

                depends, cant see him being rushed in, but depends on which position he plays, if up top WITH kun he could be essential

                1. The Man Pastore
                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 29 days ago

                  I was talking about Kun

            3. The Man Pastore
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              He will need few months to get used to the premier league. Aguero is a safe starter till the end of the season imo.

            Evans Alonso Barragan Holebas Amat
            Alexis Lalana KdB Phillips Capoue
            Costa Tekkers Ibra

            I can live with that.

              Not a huge lover of Philips + Capoue, but looks good!

              Kdb & Lallana or Theo & Hazard?

              Pickford Jaku
              Bellerin Azpi Alonso Nyom Amat

                  Not keen on City. Will do Payet and Origi to Coutinho and Benteke in a few weeks.

              Unless...

              Phillips/Lalana/Tekkers->Redmond/Coutinho/Rondon

              Ha

              • 11 Years

              Phillips / Capoue is a no no for me.

              Looks to be OK for New Year's clash with City

            Not long until Kun is back

            And for first time ever back as a massive differential

            1. n-doggg
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              That's why it didn't both with Kane > ibra. Saving transfers for the man

                Sensible

                I went to Ibra but just a 2 week thing

              he will disappoint.

            Okay, so here are my routes to Ibra. Pick one:

            1) Firmino--> Lallana
            2) Sigurdsson--> JRod
            3) Iheanacho--> Anichebe

            Thanks 🙂

              Losing Kelechi should be priority, but hate Anichebe pick.

              So 1
