Our post-Gameweek members article assessing some of the top performers arrives once again this evening.

With many Fantasy managers now looking to wield Wildcards, we cast an eye over in-form and in-demand attackers and also assess some of the stand-out assets in defence ahead of Friday evening’s deadline.

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

    Guys am I missing something? Aguero has been on fire and from the sounds of things he only took a bit of a knock and should be fit for the weekend. Everyone seems to have Jesus in their teams; is he actually guaranteed to play? Seems a bit of a gamble when there's so many other good options....

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero might be out for the rest of the season, even if the injury is not serious, he should be out atleast for the weekend fixture.

    2. Your Man With The Hair
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A lot of it is driven by Jesus' price. Aguero to Jesus helps enable a transfer for Sanchez.

    3. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Didn't they both start last weekend?

    4. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero
      Jesus (+£4.2m)

      If they both play, they'll share the points imo..

    5. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      4 million less and pep loves Jesus, he instantly dropped Aguero last time!

  2. GuillermoDickero
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Becoming gradually more settled on this as the week goes by

    Cech, Pickford

    Alonso, Stephens, yoshida, holgate, maguire

    Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, Eriksen, king

    Anichebe, Jesus, Kane

    About 0.2ITB

    Thoughts? I've gone lighter defence, big midfield

    1. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm trying to find away around anichibe but threre doesn't appear to be any other half decent option

      1. Your Man With The Hair
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        He is a big lad to be fair.

    2. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Identical to my set up at the moment, though I have Koscielny in place of Maguire.
      Considering dropping one of Alli/Erik and Cech for Sané/Cab to allow upgrade Kos>Cahill and Yoshi>Vert...but don't know if I can lose a Spurs mid..too consistent!

    3. mojoindojo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Same front 8 as mine. I Caballero Kosc Vert to Pickford Holgate Maguire.

      Tried to upgrade Anichebe but couldnt find a way.

      1. mojoindojo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Got sane instead of Alli

    4. jazzy g
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I got similar team apart from maguire I got cedric

  3. Gurra
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    A) Gabbiadini & Albrighton
    or
    B) Anichebe & Pedro

    Have Hazard

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      C) None

    2. _Make
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      How much ITB before Pedro? Pedro + how much?

      1. Gurra
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        only 4.6 so Anichebe is the only option

    3. Rones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Think Jonty on scoutcast has convinced me to go with B...

  4. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Start Walker or Yoshida?
    Not both

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      What if Walker comes off the bench for a 1 pointer? Wouldn't risk it

      1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Exactly, that's why it's a toughie!

    2. _Make
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yoshi is fine. DGW and somewhat of a goal threat from set pieces.

    3. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Y

  5. Your Man With The Hair
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Am I correct in saying that you can no longer tell if your rivals have played their WC until the GW kicks off, whereas before you could see at the bottom of their page? Same for number of transfers made for that GW...?

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You can see the number of transfers the person is making but if he's playing his WC, the number of transfers will appear as 0.

      1. Your Man With The Hair
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Okay, so in that instance you can't tell if they've activated their WC?

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yep! If the number of transfers is 0 and their team value keeps changing.

    2. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      If you want to really geek out, check it periodically and you can see if there are changes to the TV/ITB while the transfers remain at 0...

      1. Your Man With The Hair
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Now that would be sneaky. Very useful. But sneaky!

    3. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      My rival very kindly made his 3 transfers separately over the course of Friday / Sat morning on GW34 - was so easy to work out each move...screen grab is your friend 🙂

    4. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You can check his transfer history, it has info what chip he has been used & when

  6. mjh1610
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Will Robles play this week or should I transfer him out for a -8 hit? Will be doing bench boost this week so need to think about that as well.

  7. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Chec
    Alonso Yoshida Stephens Gabriel
    Sanchez (c) Hazard Eriksen Alli
    Jesus Kane

    Willy Gabbi King Holgate

    Do I play Alonso or Gabbi?

    1. The Hobbit
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Play Gabbi and Alonso, bench Stephens. I am in a very simmilar situation, and benched Steph. He is in my team for gw37, and for 36 I have Yoshida playing, IMO thats enough. Not worth playing Steph if u bench the likes of Alonso.

      Also, King will punish u for benching him. 😉

  8. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    On WC

    A) Costa & Redmond

    B) Hazard & Gabbi

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Haz but not gabbi !

  9. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I hate Tadic.

    Statistically he's a delight and an explosion waiting to happen. Always.

    But with Gabbi's form and threat of minutes from Austin, Long, Rodriguez, is he the best option?

    Most creative, most shots, most attacking, and probably the most nailed on midfielder of the lot?

    Talk me out of it!

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A very frustrating asset to own, have had him a couple of times this season, I kept waiting but he never explodes.

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I had him over a 6 week period where he got me 1 assist and a loss of 0.5, such a pain

    2. _Make
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Just JWP and save some £££ and heartache.

      1. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Think that this is the way to go...

      2. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        And if I do that that means Tadic and Anichibe turns into JWP and origi...

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Wouldn't go Origi honestly, keep Anichebe and invest the £ elsewhere ..

  10. foley_fd
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Would you TC Sanchez this week, even if you know your main rival will have him has captain?

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A risky move, you can play your TC next week of you aren't bench boosting​. If you play BB next week, I'm looking at TC one of the Spuds guys or Hazard for the last gameweek.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I've been considering that but GW38 is likely to be a dead rubber for Chelsea and Spurs.

        1. foley_fd
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yes, my thoughts exactly.

          But am losing the impact of the chip if I play it this week. Tough call.

        2. My Name Is Pepu
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          One loss for Chelsea and it's gonna go down the wire 🙂 imagine scenes in that last GW ..

    2. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      My guess is that, given the way fixtures have worked out, he will be the most TC'd player this season (i.e. Man City too early; Zlat injured before United's double etc.)

  11. trinzoo
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    A) Kosc, Verto, Stephens
    B) Monreal, Davies, Toshida

    1. _Make
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A all the way to the points bank.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A,unless you can put the price difference to good use.

      1. trinzoo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I fu**** the options 🙂
        A) Monreal, Verto, Stephens
        B) Kosc, Davies, Toshiba 😀

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Still A, as Davies game time is a slight concern with Rose back in training.

          1. trinzoo
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Thanks!

  12. Lone Wolf
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Play Yoshi or Stephens?

    1. _Make
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yoshi

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yoshida all day long ..

    3. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yoshi wasn't made captain for the last few matches no?

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Because Romeu is back from suspension I reckon?

  13. martyhan
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    GTG? 4.2 itb and no ft

    Pickford
    Monreal Yoshida Stephens
    Sane Hazard Alli Sanchez
    Lukaku Kane Gabbi

    Subs Hennessy Zaha Davies Holgate

  14. AJ24
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Bench:
    A) Erikson
    B) Sane
    C) Ward-Prowse
    D) King

    Other Mid & Forwards are:
    Sanchez, Kane, Gabbiadini, Jesus

    1. _Make
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Has the be JWP with this lot. Don't be seduced by the (tough) DGW.

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Normally​ people would bench JWP, but I'd personally bench Gabbidiani, really doubtful about his minutes on the pitch.

      1. _Make
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        This is a good option too.

        1. AJ24
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          It is hard as I have Stephens, JWP and Gabbi and actually thinking about it, DGW probably means very little. Hard fixtures!

  15. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Monreal (Or Gabriel) in for Bailly + Jesus in for Aguero for a -8 looking like the best bet this GW then?

    Pickford.
    Yoshida, Davies, Stephens.
    Sanchez (c), Hazard, King, Alli.
    Gabby, Aguero**, Kane.

    Henn, Holgate, De Roon, Bailly**.
    0ft, 1.1m.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn't take a hit to get Monreal in, maybe next week. Wait for pressers and you can do an Aguero to Jesus transfer then.

  16. BRONHOM
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Repost (kinda)

    Heaton (DDG)
    Alonso, Robertson, Yoshi (Bailly, Gibson)
    Alli, Eriksen, Siggy, King (Zaha)
    Kane(c), Lukaku, Gabbi

    A. Lukaku to Costa?
    B. Figure out a way to get a Hazard?
    C. Save?
    D. Something Else

  17. anish10
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Hows this template WC looking, anything you would change?

    Willy Pickford
    Alonso Davies Monreal Holgate Stephens
    Alli Sanchez Hazard King Carroll
    Kane Jesus Costa

    0.1 ITB

    1. Flynny
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It's great.....same front 8 as me...you must have amazing cash as your defence is stronger than mine

      1. anish10
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks bud. TV is 107.1

    2. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good. Bavies might be a risk. But Rose has been slated to return for the last few weeks now... Could be a risk.

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      One of the best I've seen, although Davies is a slight concern with Rose back in training.

      1. anish10
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks, yeah will monitor Rose's come back

    4. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Davies to huth?

    5. Deus
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Great build, the best front 3. Maybe take a risk and bring Vardy as differential instead of Costa?

  18. Individual
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Morning all

    Am I over thinking this? Defence is kind of shot;
    Yoshi Holgate Stones(yf) / Bailly (yf) Barragan (not starting)

    Can buy anyone... But for a -8.
    Been considering Monreal in... It's surely a 0 to bring him if looking at the hit in isolation? Has 2 games so if he gets 90in both = 4 which cancels out my hit, right? Silly season or an objectively OK move?

    Thanks!

    1. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kos over Monreal providing he's fit?

      1. Individual
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Hey man, yep, could do, main issue is a) fitness and b) if I do Kosc I can't bring a chelsea def in (unless Ake is playing!) in 37. So Monreal is my man I think, means I can get Azpi at least.

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Can you do Barragan to Vertonghen? Spurs most likely to keep CS, also sets you up well for next week.

      1. Individual
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        No, got Kane Eriksen Alli. Good suggestion though 🙂

        1. Individual
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          (front 8:
          Eriksen Ali Sanchez Haz King
          Jesus Kane / Anichebe)

    3. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Wait for news bud. Are you already on a -4? Monreal is definitely a good shout, is it for Bailly or Barra?

      What d'you reckon to my dilemma below? Cheers 🙂

      A. Caballero -- Cahill Vertonghen -- Eriksen Sané (0.0 ITB, 5 doublers)
      B. Caballero -- Koschielny Vertonghen -- Alli Sané (0.1, 6)
      C. Cech -- Koschielny Yoshida -- Alli Eriksen (0.0, 8)

      ____ (Pickford)
      Alonso ____ ____ (Stephens Holgate)
      Sanchez Hazard ____ ____ King
      Kane Jesus (Anichebe)

      1. Individual
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Hi mate
        Def waiting for news, it doesn't matter which one goes tbh as the other is going for a Chelsea player in 37! On a -4 already yeah, did Jesus and King for Zaha and Tekkers.

        Of those I like B for the balance actually!

        1. Legomane
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Cheers bud.. reckon I'll prob stick with C- not sure I can lose Alli or Erik before WHU! Reckon our front 8 is just about optimal given funds situ.

  19. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Should I own Morrison or Carroll for last mid?

    They will be benched 36 and 38 so they'll only play BB 37.

    Morrison has Chelsea home and Man City away.
    Carroll has Sunderland away.

    Morrison actually scored a brace in the Chelsea fixture last year, so currently on him as he's DGW and more of a threat with 5 goals this season. Also back up for pens and on some set pieces. His this the right call? It's DGW lottery after all, got to be in it to win it,

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      West Bromwich is on a holiday, Swansea are fighting for survival. Most importantly, Tom Carroll is the cheapest FPL midfielder. That little £ can help you elsewhere during this crucial stage.

    2. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Chelsea is crap last year

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        True, even New Castle battered them last year ..

  20. martyhan

    Best replacement for Gibson? Money no issue

    1. rnrd

      Chelsea defender or Arsenal defender or Aldy/vert

    5. _Gunner
      • 11 Years

      Who are your other defenders?

  21. Legomane

    Thank goodness that's the notable price rises over till Friday by looks of things- can take account of the pressers from here on in - and hope that Kane/ Sanchez/ Jesus rise again before rival makes his moves 🙂

    1. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Ha I've been slightly sabotaging too... Hoping a rival with TC remaining forgets the Friday deadline and have been asking him what moves he's making on Saturday so he doesn't realise... Haha

      1. Legomane

    Best chance of a clean sheet ? Hill at home to Sunderland or man city home to palace ?

      that's close. I'd say Hull

    2. _Gunner
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Hull

    4. My Name Is Pepu

    What's your thoughts on Gabbiadini guys?
    I can't stop going back and forth regarding putting him into my WC team.
    In one hand, the guy has 5 games in 3 GW on the other, fixtures and prospects aren't that good for Southampton :-/

    What is your opinion?

    1. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I decided no for 36, assess minutes and form for 37 (he's still a good value 3rd striker for 37/38)

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A template question if I ever heard one.
      I have been doing the same as you.

      1. rnrd
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        yeah and Puel should stop making changes at the 58/59 mark just by consideration for FPL payers 😀

      Yes you are right but against two leaky defences ... Looks a tough call for me

    Are most people TC this week? I still have TC and BB left but am slightly disappointed with Sanchez at mo.

    Anyone tempted to reverse? TC 37 and BB 36?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      yes

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You can BB 37 & TC Spuds or Hazard 38.

        Are u thinking though that Haz and Spurs players could just not be there on GW38? If 1st and 2nd are decided?
        Youngsters given a chance?

  26. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights

    8 years, 7 months ago

    Blind (5.2) or Huth (4.9)?

  27. FPL ElasticO
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Which Saints player is good to have in WC team for the two DGWs???

    Not finding Gabbi a strong DGW asset....

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      a lot are going with both stephens and yoshida for budget reasons

    2. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sometimes none is the right answer. Or some random like Bertrand or Boufal

    I'm liking the look of this WC, only issue is I've had to drop Eriksen for Pedro, but Chelsea have much tastier fixtures so I'm OK with that. Thoughts?

    Willy Pickford
    Alonso Kosc Vert Yoshida Stephens
    Sanchez Hazard Sane Pedro King
    Kane Jesus Anichebe

      Your TV must have been through the roof to be able to afford that. Pretty much the dream.

        It's actually not as good as many on here, around 105 mil... Eriksen > Pedro saves 2 mil so I'm able to have Alonso + Kosc instead of Azpi + Gabriel...

          I can't afford any Chelsea defender. With basically the same midfield and attack i can only get blind gabriel stephens yoshida bavies

            I see, what is your TV?

    Think a lot of us are hoping Spurs beat West Ham on Friday or a lot of templates might just go out of the window.

    Caballero & Jagielka or Cech & Holgate ?
