Next this Saturday, we catch up on the member’s area statistics over the last three rounds of fixtures with our usual post-Gameweek article.

We assess the lay of the land at Arsenal as a result of Olivier Giroud’s first-team return before analysing Tottenham’s man of the moment and Manchester United’s pair of form players.

West Ham and Everton also play a part in our thinking ahead of some fine upcoming fixtures.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Rojo subbed early. Injury?

    Courtois
    Azpi, Vertonghen, Jones
    Phillips, Sanchez, Eriksen, Lallana
    Ibra, Costa, Benteke

    Subs: Pocognoli, Wasilewski, Carrick, Nordfelt

    0 ITB

    A) Azpi > Baines and Benteke > Giroud
    B) Azpi > Baines and Carrick > Yaya ( 5 man midfield)
    C) Azpi > Baines and Carrick > Coutinho/ Dele

    Help plz

      C easily for me

        B and C doesn't add up money wise, you're clearly changing something else too so impossible to advise

        1. Ozil Gummage
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 21 days ago

          Forgot to mention B and C mean switching benteke to a 4.3 mill striker, in other words a useless one and leaving Costa plus Ibra up front

    3. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      a) Rondon + Siggy -> Giroud + Philips (-4)

      or

      b) Siggy -> 7.7 mid for free (Walcott, Sterling, Lallana, etc)

      1. Ozil Gummage

      Lots of very thick fog in the NW - small possibility Preston v Arsenal could be affected

      For GW21:

      Should I field Baines (mci) or Pieters (SUN)?

      Baines is on pens but clean sheet is unlikely...

      Stoke away to Sunderland, with Defoe's form...

      Thanks

      1. AndyCook
          9 years, 22 days ago

          Baines for me. Playing Pieters will at worst hurt you maybe 4-5 points. Baines has a higher ceiling on points

          1. AndyCook
              9 years, 22 days ago

              Not playing Pieters sorry*

            People here suggested that Alonso might be dropped, and that is painful for Alonso owners

              Yeah...not good for either if Alonso and Ake start rotating

                There's definitely more than zero chance 🙂

                If Conte's sticking with three-at-the-back (which he will), he'll stick with wingbacks. Given wingback requires a LOT of running up and down, he's gonna need cover in those areas in case of injury/suspension and occasional resting.

                There's not really anyone else in the Chelsea squad who could be a wingback.

                Azpi could probably be converted...but he's now cemented in the three.

                Doubt Ivanovic could do it...too old, not enough speed/stamina.

                None of the other mids could do it.

                So reinforcements required. Step forward Nathan Ake!

            Smith would be back in the team saving me a transfer so I'm all for it!

            Seriously though, for his development he should stay for the rest of the season.

          Is it just me who has very little interest in the FA cup today?

          The teams don't treat it as a big competition, even in the lower leagues most teams see it as a chore.

            • 14 Years
            9 years, 22 days ago

            I suppose it depends if you support a team playing in it. Also gets better the further the competition goes.

          Would anyone do it?

            • 14 Years

            Presuming Capoue is your 5th mid, in which case no way.

            Am doing Siggy to Stanislas for a hit but only to afford Origi > Giroud.

            Not sure about the Capoue > Stanislas for a hit, I'd wait a week

            Zlatan, Costa and Giroud atm. I don't think we're going to get quite enough bang for our buck from Aguero any more while Kane is a little bit over shadowed by his two midfield mates right now.

            Heaton, Pickford
            Alonso, Jones, Pieters, McAuley, Amat
            Sanchez, Hazard, Lallana, Allen, Puncheon
            Kun, Costa, Negredo

            1 FT 0 ITB- around 80pts off top spot in mini league.

              Can easily make up 80pts in DGW if you save the WC

              No. Downgrade one of Allen and Puncheon and upgrade the other would be the best move in my opinion.

                  you could use a premium defender from chelsea or spurs.
                  holebas collects yellow cards easily.
                  you should be able to rely on your subs, so amat should go. i had him for 19 gws and it was like i had noone there.
                  snodgrass is the best at hull but if teams mark him well hull have no hope, and so does he.
                  at the first chance replace pickford.
                  you could downgrade aguero to costa in order to upgrade anichebe to a better 3rd forward like rondon, negredo, origi

                Heaton Grant
                Alonso Ake Baines Friend Brunt
                Sanchez Stanislas Alli Lallana Phillips
                Ibra Rondon Costa

                1. Heaton home vs SOU or Grant away vs SUN?
                2. got Friend before last GW, didnt like him starting on the bench, came on (played well and could have got assists) late enough not to get cleansheet.. do you think he ll get starts next 3 GWs or change to another MID defender? it was between him and chambers for the price 4.4
                3. Thinking of bringing Giroud instead of Rondon, at least for GW 21. Who would you trust more regarding points output?
                4. Which 4 players would you bench for GW21?

                Thank you

                So is FFS split on Giroud nailed vs Giroud not nailed?

                  He's obviously not nailed.

                  Alexis has been our first choice striker for most of the season.

                    So that's one in the not nailed camp.

                      There's a chance he doesn't start against Swansea, let alone 10 games from now.

                  Doubt he's 100% nailed.

                  Wenger will mix it up. Sanchez and Walcott up front when pace is needed, Giroud for the other occasions when you need a target-man.

                  He's pretty secure for now though.

                    Do you need a target man away to Bournemouth though?

                  More split around very likely to play in the short/medium term vs may not play in the short/medium term. I don't think anyone (honestly without FPL bias anyway) thinks he is nailed.

                What's going on with Walcott? Is he coming back soon?
