Our usual post-Gameweek members’ article arrives this afternoon, as we take a look at some of the main performers over the previous round of fixtures.
Key midfielders from Man City and Spurs are assessed, while we also analyse Liverpool’s attack since the return of Philippe Coutinho.
Meanwhile, our new expected goals numbers highlight how Wilfried Zaha thrived up front upon his return to the Eagles’ fold.

Repost after posting to DZ.
Vardy's last 5 games before Pearson's sacking returned 1 goal and 2 assists.
Vardy 1st 5 games following Pearson sacking...3 Goals and 2 assists. Went on to get attacking points in first 17 fixtures under new manager Ranieri.
Vardy's last 5 games before Ranieri's sacking returned no attacking points.
1st 5 Games following Ranieri sacking...5 goals and 2 assists
Possible upturn in Vardy's form coming?
He hasn't become a bad pick overnight, I fancy him to get returns soon. Same with Firmino, I expect both to end up with a similar number of points, and a few runs of blanks to frustrate owners here and there.
Firmino is looking like a decent punt from 10 onwards
Firmino will get more fpl points this season imo
Piece, have you watched Leic in the last two games, they're dreadfull, really lacking in midfield. Vardy is not the issue, just harder to score if he's not getting a regular supply.
He has scored 7 points in 3 games since I've bought him. He's most likely gone after this weekend!
This, total lack of creativity for him
Like there was prior to Ranieri's sacking?
Different situation with Raniere, players werent playing for him! They seem a worse team now, Drinkwater is looking a huge miss for them.
I haven't, so fair points. I don't know, I expect a response now though. He seems to like firing managers!
Perhaps but they need Mahrez to push on and Gray to add some spark or they're gonna continue to struggle!
Depends on who they bring in as manager I guess also. I'm not waiting though if Vardy blanks this gameweek! Morata is calling 🙂
Overthinking it
Maybe, maybe not
depends on who they bring in to take over
Shakespeare wasn't exactly an inspired choice tho
Looking forward:
A) Fernandez/Naughton
B) Daniels
A) only to rotate with Burnley defender. B) to play every GW and more likely attacking returns
B, they have some nice fixtures coming up
Give Kolasnic and Ritchie one more week or move one of them on? Got 1FT and no other fires to put out
One more week for me (I have both).
If in doubt, roll a transfer over.......
Keep Ritchie. I have Kolasinac but he will be the one to sacrifice to upgrade Firmino to Morata. Arsenal got couple of CS recently but were bit lucky as well. I expected more from him but playing on the one side wuth
with Sanchez is not handy. Bellerin looks better at opposite side of the pitch. So basically think about swapping him to Luiz/City def or even lower Daniels or Maguire (depends on new manager) and upgrade elsewhere
I have both and giving them another week.
Ritchie maybe two.
Which two to play this week?
Ritchie (CRY)
RLC (new)
Carroll (LEI)
Naughton (LEI)
And which goalkeeper (if fit)?:
Elliot (CRY)
Myhill (sou)
Ritchie Naughton Elliot
This
Ritchie, Carroll
Elliott
Naughton, Ritchie, (Elliott, RLC, Carroll)
Wait...
Elliott Naughton, Ritchie, (Myhill, RLC, Carroll)
For next week (GW 10):
Lukaku, Cork --> Morata, Richarlison
For free, Yes or No?
Thanks.
Yes
Would look to get in Aguero.instead though
Elliot
Cedric Jones Alonso
Salah Shaqiri Eriksen Ritchie
Lukaku Kane Abraham
Fabianski Bellerin Carroll Tuanzabe
1 FT & 0.1 ITB
Time to be bold, it's going to have to be Salah > Sterling isn't it this week? Then maybe a Liverpool mid back in next week?
Keep Salah.
Richie + Eriksen + Bellerin
to
Sterling + Silva + Mee/Ward/Fernandez/Naughton
Don't fancy a -8 this week
Ok fair enough, could pay off though getting two City midfielders with good fixtures and crazy form for Eriksen with tough fixtures and a meh player:)
Or just sell Eriksen for free
What are Davies owners doing? He has good threat but has bad fixtures and doubtful he will play this weekend, Rose looming also.
A) Keep and trust Carroll/Ward or similar on bench if no-show this week
B) Sell for ft
C) Sell for a hit
Holding for now... worried about the return of Rose but Davies is fire when on the pitch and Poch would be mental to just drop him...
If he is out this is GW then I will sell him. Because by next week, Rose will be up and running. There will a rotation week in week out
A) + wait & see how Poch sorts out his LB spot
is kun really ready to start on Saturday?
Wait for press conference
no-one knows
No one knows, I think there's a 50% chance he will start
I’m expecting 30mins vs burnley and fullish game in league cup
Elliot
Monreal, Fernandez, Davies
Eriksen, Salah, Silva, Groß
Kane, Lukaku, Rodriguez
Bench: Foster, Carroll, Britos, Mee
2 FT ... £0.2 itb
***
Davies a rotation risk. Salah about to drop. JRod needs to go. Considering:
JRod > Morata
Davies > Cedric
Salah > Choupo-Moting
–4 and £0.0 itb
Good moves?
I don't like the idea of getting rid of Salah. After Spurs he will score double digits I suppose. Also Cedric is just for 3 GWs. Daniels better mid term IMO.
Ah, and you're worried about Salah drop in price but on the other hand you want to bring in Cedric who might drop soon as well...
Good thoughts. Might reconsider and lose Eriksen instead. Daniels a good pick. Cheers!
Yeah would keep Salah too and go:
Morata Richarlison Daniels
or maybe even better
Morata Choupo Jones
What move would you make first? (Bear in mind likely minutes and fixtures)
A) Jesus > Aguero
B) Vardy > Morata
I would wait until Friday
B. Aguero not certain to start. Also B is the biggest upgrade (not just in price, but in points potential)
B
B
Play 2 or bench 3 :
A) Carroll
B) RLC
C) Fernandez
D) Duffy
E) Mee
Cheers
Play A+C and Duffy 1st sub
To Mee or not To mee.
That is the question.
Ward
Ward has two left feet.
Definitely Mee, but not for the Man City fixture.
Thoughts here? Thinking of saving transfer and getting a bit more info re: City/Morata/Kane.
Elliot
Davies Luiz Otamendi
Hazard Sterling Choupo RLC
Kane Jesus Vardy
Fabs Richarlison Hunemeier Ward
Popelys Gull @ 28/1 winner 14.45 Weth.
Three Little Birds @ 20/1 winner 14.20 Ling.
Where's that annoying Seagull when you need him?
I wish the gull had been stopped Cooking Fat.
🙂 Same.
Kentucky Fried Gull on the cards!
Still with cantonas trawler
Kane or Lukaku to Aguero? I have 0.5 in the bank to get either back if need be.
Kane depending on price bought would be harder to get back. Got to be Kaku. Even with Eriksen in my team, that's the move I'd consider.
I have eriksen and Kane too. Lukaku has Huddersfield this week though but Kane is more explosive and underlying numbers are better. I was leaning towards Lukaku out because United park the bus against big teams and they have hard fixtures coming up
Same dilemma. Likely to go Kaku just to force a decision for the following 2 games and maybe beyond. He does well, I ride it out. If he drops me, it will make parting ways easier.
Davies to 4.5 so i can upgrade to firmino from gw10 on top?
Play one:
A) Atsu (CRY)
B) Gross (whu)
C) Carroll (LEI)
Atsu I think
A
Time to ditch Kola? If so, who for? (Not Jones or Spurs defender)
Keep for Swansea H
No decent replacements at the moment. Wait a week to see if anyone makes themselves desirable, otherwise stick with Kola.
Otamendi is a possible exception if you have a City slot available, but I would still stick with Kola for the time being.
Have Davies, Lowe and Mbemba in my defence alongside Jones and Naughton... Only 1FT, am I going to have to use it on a defender this week to make sure I get 11 out?
Yeah
Yes
Few questions for my team
Lacazette ➡ Morata for free? (current forwards are Kane, Jesus and Laca)
A) Yes, no brainer
B) No, Laca can get something at Goodison
Play one:
1) Loftus-Cheek v new
2) Wimmer v BOU
Play one GK:
C) Fabianski v LEI
D) Elliot v CRY
Captain one:
3) Kane v LIV
4) Jesus v BUR
5) Morata v WAT
Thanks!
I'd rather have Morata depending on tonight - good luck with the other decisions 😀
A. Morata great value if fit, and going to become a popular option over the next 13-19 weeks!
2. Bournemouth lacking a cutting edge. I wouldn't usually advise relying on CSs for points, but RLC isn't certain to start. Next week, I would say RLC with Zaha in front of him is more promising, but this week, I would play it safe.
C. Haven't checked stats, but it seems Fabianski is getting some saves in. Tough call though.
5 > 4 > 3. I would back Chelsea to return to form, and Morata is the main man for goals in the team. Jesus and Kane still good options though.
Get Morata imo.
Thanks all
0.9itb....good to save my transfer here?
Jesus seems a risky captain option so likely to go kane...
Fab (Elliot)
Luiz bavies Jones wimmer (ward)
Hazard Silva richarlison (rlc carroll)
Kane (c)Jesus vardy
Thanks
Good to save!
Best defender 4.5 or less for the next three or four GWs?
Fernandez?
Pepe will start both Pound Sterling and Ham Sane.
Everyone round here Acknowledges, i am always right. Right.
I hope you are right. I think you are right too.
I have Sane Jesus Silva...
I think Bernado will get a start soon to rest one of those. Think it could be sterling but probably the league cup.
Elliot, Foster
Mee, Cedric, Naughton, Lowe, Creswell
Salah, Sterling, D Silva, Atsu, T Carroll
Kane, Jesus, Vardy
2.0ITB. I'm thinking of either swapping Vardy for Morata or spreading the money a bit more and maybe getting Richarlison for Atsu and getting a better defender in for Lowe. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
WC after gw 9
Elliott degea
ward Jones Dann Daniels Gomez
Silva sterling erik salah richarlsn
Firmino morata diouf
Gtg?
Tarrol and Tammy.
Gtg.
Defender too weak imo.
You know what, gotta say it's been a nice day on here today. Good discussions + people trying to help each other instead of being dicks and lolling
Night all!
Good night, good luck for GW9.
Atm I dont have any pool mid,and on gmwk 10 I m planing to buy one,so Coutinho or Salah?
Cheers
The million dollar question
Both!
Salah
I feel its like last year ali or eriksen question
Impossible to say. Salah has given us more data. But as soon as I try to compare their potential I'm at a loss.
Salah imo.
I WC last week and went Salah. He always seems more involved in everything further up the pitch and his pace is making up for lack of Mane now I think. The promise of penalties from Klopp has also helped me to go with Mo.
Cheers all and GL
Elliot
Jones Kola Davies
Carroll Richarlison Salah Sterling
Lukaku Jesus Kane
(Speroni Simpson RLC Mbemba)
Any advice on the best move to make with this? I have 2FT and 0.4ITB but will probably hold off on more wholesale changes until next week when I downgrade Lukaku. Would prefer to keep Kola in for eve, SWA, so would Simpson be my best transfer out this week?
Hold. Maybe Lukaku --> Morata next week.
I already have 2FT so may as well do something...
Could do Simpson to Naughton or a Burnley def, but a little bit sideways maybe
What about using your 0.4 to move Mbemba to a playing 5th 4.4m defender. Wimmer has some decent fixtures as do the two Brighton 4.4 defs
Which of these would you rather:
A) Eriksen, Ward, Fernandez
B) Richarlison, Zaha, Davies
A
7 years, 25 days agoA. Jesus&Morata&Kolasinac
B. Aguero&Morata&Moreno(or other 4.5 def)
