The time has come to roll out our regular post-Gameweek members’ article and check up on some of the stand-out performers across the most recent round of fixtures.

Much of our focus turns to midfield, where Arsenal, Man City and Everton’s big hitters finally hint at the form of last season.

West Ham and Newcastle’s budget strikers also catch the eye, while defenders from Man City and Bournemouth shrug off slow starts to make significant bids for our attention.

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

    Sterling a short term pick?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes but could be a great one

    2. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Could be a decent one while Kun is out.

    re-post as i was bottomed out.

    Hi All, long time lurker (first time poster). Having a lot of troubles on my wildcard so figured i'd bring it to you guys for help.

    a) Hazard, Ramsey and Yoshida
    b) Coutinho, Silva and Van Dijk

    currently have B but with Morata probably out and chelsea's schedule.. i like hazard as a differential. I'm 6th in my 40 person mini league (winner gets 5k). This is a big decision for me. Appreciate the help!

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      B with Cedric instead of VVD.

    2. Nani R U OK? R U OK ? R U O…
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      B

    3. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Welcome! I fancy Hazard to do damage against CPL, but I think B has better potential long term.

    4. Chunnam
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      5k!? That's hell of a mini league

  3. sunzip14

    Salah to Coutinho on a WC, Yes or No?

    1. HALFSPACE
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Absolutely not

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Not for me.

    3. Nani R U OK? R U OK ? R U O…
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Can u have both?

    4. Kuyt Hero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes for me

    5. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes . I wish I had.

    6. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    7. Emp
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Nah

    8. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      nope

  4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Can't really gauge an answer without the whole team tbh.

    That's one heavy mini league!

  5. HALFSPACE

    Yedlin or Wimmer as an Elliot owner

    1. Feloh
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      wimmer

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Is there any reason why people are picking Wimmer over Cameron?

    3. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      a wimmer way

  6. TheTwelfthMan
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Confused about which Man City midfielder to pick? I've written an article covering an in-depth statistical analysis comparing de Bruyne, Silva, Sane and Sterling, with every underlying stat you'd need. Do give it a read.

    http://the12thman.in/fpl-man-city-mids-analysis/

    1. HALFSPACE
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling all day long

    2. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Sane for me.

      Biased though as had him for last seasons explosions.

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years

      Good read.

      1. 32chickens
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Slouchy what's up
        Were you 'enable'd?

    4. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Nice
      B.Silva to spoil party?

      1. TheTwelfthMan
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Don't think so, doesn't seem like Pep likes him that much. Has only started 1 so far I think.

    5. Feloh
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      sublime article, someone hulk this. Sterling for me too

    6. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Really enjoyable read.

    7. MTPockets
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. Maybe worth noting that none of Sterling's goals have come while Jesus was playing.
        (same for Sane in PL, but he scored in EFL)

      • Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Good atricle, appreciated the one on forwards too.

      • SC not pearls before swine
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Great article. I think it's worth looking at Manchester City's 2 champions league matches as well. Maybe there's something specific to Sterling's game that Pep thinks works best in the premier league, but I think it's more about just getting every player their rest. I don't really think really Sterling is any more secure than Sane as they both have 5 starts in all competitions.

        Some champions league stats:

        Sterling has played 67 minutes total, both times as a sub, and scored a goal against Shakhtar. 2 shots, both in the box (2.69 per 90), no chances created.

        Sane started and played the full 90 against Shakhtar and was subbed on for the last 20 minutes against Feyenoord. He hasn't scored or assisted, but has taken 4 shots, 3 in the box (3.3 and 2.5 per 90) and created 1 chance.

        Silva started both games, but was subbed off both times. He hasn't taken a shot, but has 2 more assists and has created 5 chances total (3.08 per 90).

        De Bruyne has played the full 180 minutes, has a goal and an assist, but his underlying stats aren't incredible, 4 shots, 2 in the box, and 4 chances created.

      RMWCT please guys:

      Elliot Pereira

      Bavies, Jones Cedric (Ward Wimmer)

      Salah Sterling Sane Richarlison (T Carrol)

      Kane Vardy Jesus (or Lacazette if you think 3 Man city attack too much)

      cheers

      1. @NF_Janner
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I think Jesus is a must for the time being so perhaps choose between Sane and Sterling? I would think about getting a chelsea player, maybe downgrade one for a chelsea defender?

        1. @NF_Janner
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Or Ramsey?

    9. ooooo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A) Azpi and Tuanzebe as 5th def
      B) Luiz and Lowe as 5th def

      Ryan (Krul)
      Kolasinac Davies Otamendi Ward/Clark

      jones is still flagged?

      is he a risk?

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years

        Pulled out of England squad. International injury most likely.

    12. Waynoo

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        If your not sure what to do don't do anything.

      2. Krionos

      Having in mind form, fixtures and everything, which mid up to 5.7 would you rather have?
      A) Choupo
      B) Gross
      C) other?

      1. Up the tics
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Choupo

      2. Lone Wolf FPL

        A

      3. Krionos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        Gross. Involved in everything for Brighton

    14. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez looks like Forest Gump in that pic.

      1. The Knights Template

        certainly getting his gurn on

    15. FPL Virgin

      • 9 Years

      Just saw Mark in the street. 😯

      I heckled him.

      I shouted "You can't run from a Loftus-Cheek, mate!" and legged it!

      Hee hee 😆

      1. Feloh

        IDGAF. no one else does too

      2. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        How do you know it was Mark? Was he wearing a 'I messed up my WC' t-shirt?

    16. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Who do you think will start most games as RWB for spurs?
      Aurier or trippier?

      1. @NF_Janner
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        That fact that this is even a question makes me avoid both

    17. FPL Virgin

      FAO Mods.

      There is a spelling mistake in today's hot topic.

      Jonty has spelt "MAGIC BEANS" as "BUDGET ENABLERS"

    18. thorvaldsson
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Trying to dump Morata Ritchie and Britos which way should I go? Someone has to remain.

      a) Alonso/King

      b) Hazard/Abraham

      c) Sterling/Vardy

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        keep Ritchie
        c

        1. thorvaldsson
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          To get C I would have to lose Ritchie and keep Britos.

          1. Lone Wolf FPL
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            so find another way
            but c out of those is the best combo

            1. thorvaldsson
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Vardy/KDB for Morata/Siggurdsson and I get to keep Ritchie.

              1. Lone Wolf FPL
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                like it too

      2. I Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        C

    19. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Foster, Elliot
      Kola, Davies, Cedric, Mee, Hune
      Eriksen, Silva, Ritchie, Brady, Carroll
      Kane, Lukaku, Firmino

      1 FT, 0 ITB. Think I will keep Firmino as still think he is underpriced and want Liv attacker as they love big games. Also he has already been rested.

      What do you think of this team? Any obvious missing? Any suggestions? Cheers!

      1. HALFSPACE
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        One of Salah/Mane is a must for me

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks but as long as I have Firm I don't think double up Liv esp with those fixtures is a must.
