We delve into the Opta data next, rolling out our usual post-Gameweek members’ article.

Both Merseyside clubs play a part in our assessment, while we also check out the contrasting fortunes from West Ham and Watford’s goal scoring midfielders.

Southampton’s in-form frontman is also among our featured players, as is a certain Man City wide man after a weekend return to the scoresheet.

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

    Looking at Jay Egersdorff's FPL history really pisses me off. Not because of how good it is, but 3 seasons in particular...

    2009/10: 101
    2012/13: 1,001
    2016/17: 105

    2 places off top 100
    2 places off top 1000
    6 places off top 100

    That shit would haunt me.

      Someone finishing 2nd should suicide? 😮

      Only winner is #1, so you got to be happy with whatever you are achieving 😉

        Suicide is a bit harsh, but FPL is a serious game tbf

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years

          It is? 😮

      You've worsened it respectively by one place each time. A 101 finish is only one place off the top 100 (not that that makes it any better)

    i really dont like firm, im willing to accept he may get the odd good haul but overall other players will do well,

    what do you think of morata to quaner, richar to sane, rlc to sane for -4? to give

    pope
    mee christ ota
    salah sterling sane pog haz
    kane dcl

    subs, pereria, duffy, holgate, quaner

    1. FootballFanatic365
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      keep Morata

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Quaner is a waste of time bandwagon

      1. Johnny Leghorn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He's a playing enabler.
        Very different.

    3. BbBb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane to Firm and keep Morata 😉 it's not about liking someone, it's about the points they will get you for the money they cost (value)

    If silva is out for the wkend, thoughts on this free transfer ?

    silva > pogba

    Tnks guys.

      I’m doing the same bud

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan

      Is he out though?

    4. Batchain

      Terrible. How can you justify that?

      1. Ronnies

        sorry bruv....

  4. GAMBIT
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Assuming we all have Kane and DCL, who is the striker we're looking to downgrade Morata to?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Quaner long term.

      Austin short term.

      1. GAMBIT
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Why Austin short term? Just a fixtures thing or are we worried about Gabbiadini becoming first choice again?

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Austin

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not Quaner because i like points

    3. BbBb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Morata and downgrade Kane imo

    4. Awesom-o
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Just been looking at this.

      Austin 6.2 - fixtures hit and miss
      Murray 5.8 - nice fixtures but team in poor form who will be looking to bring another striker in
      Depoitre - 5.2 - he's in good form with very nice fixtures

  5. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Does anyone fancy a challenge?

    How would you get Sterling into this team without losing Sanchez?

    Speroni - Hennessey
    Ogbonna - Dunk - Hegazi - Mee - Ward
    Sanchez - Hazard - Salah - Coutinho - Richarlison
    Kane - DCL - Quaner

    2 FTs. £0.3m ITB.

    50 FPL points for the best answer!!! 😀

    1. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Gotta be downgrading Coutinho

      1. Lazaretti
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Coutinho

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, I was originally planning to do that, but his numbers look just too good at the moment.

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years

      Hazard - > Sterling

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        And go without Chelsea coverage?

    3. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ward to mbemba richarlison to sterling. If not enough cash hegazi to kenny. Would need your sell values to be exact

    4. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Question mate, why the hell are you holding Sanchez? And I'm speaking from experience after holding Deli Alli until this week! Holding will kill your rank with so many better options!

    5. Splatter\\\'s Omerta
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez > Sterling. Alexi's output really not worth the cost at the moment (one foot out the door?).

    6. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Richarlison is probably going to miss, so him to Sterling and Sanchez to KDB

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

        Why is Richarlison going to miss?

    9. Awesom-o
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Sanchez just isn't worth the money

      Sanchez to Sterling
      Richarlison to Pogba

    10. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane to Bobby, Richarlison to Raz.

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years

        brilliant moves! (last week)

    11. The Butch
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane to Morata and Richarlison to Sterling, easy

    12. Batchain
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard to Sterling. Richarlison to Pogba.

  6. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Next GW think to do:
    Richarlison, Austin > Pogba, DCL.

    G2G? On a WC now:

    DDG
    Otamendi Christensen Ogbonna
    Hazard Salah Coutinho Sterling(C) Richarlison
    Kane(VC) Austin

    Elliot Dunk Quaner Long

    1. Pranav Santhosh
      • 9 Years

      Would plan to save FT week after wildcard

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years

        As I wrote, I'm planning to take a hit:

        Richarlison, Austin > Pogba, DCL

    Any news on Silva?? Anyone?!

    1. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Someone posted a Pep comment on the last page. Essentially, Pep "doesn't know"

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

    Is alonso banned for 5 yellows and won't play vs. Everton? FA website says so but no flag on fpl that I could see?

    When does 5 yellows not mean auto ban? Or is this always the case longer season rolls on?

    Kane on 4 yellows could he miss dgw through suspension if picks up yellow in GW 20?

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Banned for cup tonight

      1. FootballFanatic365
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        gr8 point

    2. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Will serve his ban tonight in the cup.

      As for Kane, I think the suspension moves up to 10 yellows before the dgw but I'm not sure

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        if Kane avoids a booking this weekend he will be ok

    3. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      purposely picked up a yc at the weekend so that he'd just be banned for the cup game tonight 🙂

    4. Nezwolf
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks guys!

      Managed to find the following on the FA website...so kane should be fine barring any yellow cards this weekend.

      For example, a Premier League player earning their fifth caution of the season on or after the 20th League Match would not earn any ban. However, if they received ten cautions by the 32nd League Match, a ban would apply

    captain sterling or kdb?

    would Silva out boost KDBs appeal?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years

      KDB

      1. Rinseboy

        cheers Dingo can I ask why over Stetling?

        1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Because he will score more points.

    2. FootballFanatic365
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      KDB for me

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I own both and will be captaining KDB
      If Silva is out which is lookimg more likely as we hear no news, gundogan sits deeper allowing KDB to get forward more than usual

    4. Sune
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Both great options. Would go with KdB though.

  11. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Got it down to 4 options.

    A) Kiko to West Ham
    B) Kane and RLC to KDB and DCL (-4) (Morata to Kane for DGW)
    C) Morata and RLC to Pogba and DCL (-4)
    D) Save

    Hennessey
    Christensen / Jones / Mee
    Hazard / Salah / Sterling / Richalison
    Kane / Morata / Austin

    Speroni / RLC / Kiko / Kenny

    1ft, £.6itb

    1. Rinseboy

    Putting Daniels on the bench ahead of RLC was an error last week and cost me 6 points!
    At least I won't have that problem this week looking at my bench: injured Ward, suspended Duffy & non-playing Niasse, I hope my starting XI turns up!

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan

    Selling Kane to get good mids is tempting but we have to get him back anyway. There will be hits between now and the DGW. I have been tinkering and my plans cost -8 or -12. Might as well stick and add DGW players slowly. Have Ogbonna and Kane currently. Might add a West Ham defender next week. Then Lloris and Eriksen before the DGW without any hit.

    Anyone bring him out and in again? What are your transfer cost?

    1. Patch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Won't you just transfer him back in for whichever big hitter you then have (i.e. Aguero, Morata etc)

      Will it be that difficult...I guess we don't know the injuries that may arise next few GWs but if we try to roll FTs then by DGW it shud be minimal impact

      1. Live Lad
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        We have 4 FTs between now and DGW. Kane will have taken 2. Without hits we can't have more DGWs players and the mids we want like Sterling, Pogba, Sane. Might work for your team but not feasible for mine.

    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I want to be Christmas number one in my mini league. How about these for some bold moves?

    Lacazette, Silva*, Hazard OUT
    Kun, Sterling, Pogba IN
    -8

    Three pronged theory here is that;

    1) Lacazette is a bit rubbish/Kun could explode
    2) Sterling is a must have/Silva unlikely to play
    3) Haz not been pulling in points last few weeks/ #Pogback

    Thoughts?

    1. Arctic_Orangutans
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’d leave hazard

  19. Dele
    • 9 Years

    Morata > Quaner
    &
    RLC > KDB

    Yay or nay?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yay!

      1. Dele
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Would leave me with

        Pope,
        Otamendi, Alonso, Gomez
        Sterling, KDB, Salah, Hazard, Richarlison
        Kane, DCL

        Elliott, Mee, Quaner, Hunemier

        Not sure if this feels weak?

        1. GAMBIT
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I don't like Quaner and Hunemeier because they both could realistically not play

            Your right I think it kills the depth of the team.

            I don’t really feel comfortable moving away from 2 big hitters and DCL for some reason.

            Maybe Morata, Richarlison > Firmino & Pogba would feel better.

    Which option do you prefer for weeks 19-21

    A Richarlison Kane
    B Pogba Aguero (-4 and cash in bank to get Kane back for week 22)

    1. Dele
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’d say A... Aguero fitness is a concern.

    2. GAMBIT

      Aguero hasn't been very Aguero like of late

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan

      • 9 Years

      yes, a bad one 😉

  22. UshFPL

    Lukaku or Aguero in for Kane?

    1. FootballFanatic365
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      keep

    2. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane > Aguero
      Aguero > Kane

  23. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Richalison Salah Silva RLC Atsu > Sterling Salah Silva Sane Pogba

    with big Harry Kane up top(for now)

    WC - make sense?

  24. Jönny

    Would you take a 4 point hit for any of these moves?

    (1) Kane, Richarlison, Kiko -> Firmino, Sane, Alonso
    (2) Kane, Richarlison, Kiko -> Firmino, Coutinho, Alonso
    (3) Kane, Richarlison, Kiko -> Firmino, de Bruyne, Christensen
    (4) Kane, Richarlison, Kiko -> Firmino, de Bruyne, Jones

    Who to play?

    A) Kolasinac (liv home)
    B) Mee (spurs home)
    C) Mariappa (Brighton away)

    1. Sune
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A has been dropped by the look of it

  26. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anything worth a hit here?

    If Silva looks to be out, would you do Silva > Pogba / Sane (-4)

    Courtois
    Otamendi Jones Mee
    Hazard Salah Sterling Silva*
    Kane DCL Quaner
    Elliott Cork Kenny Duffy

    0 Ft 4.1 ITB

      Adrian

  29. Winners900

    8 years, 1 month ago

    Can someone help me with the best combo?

    A) Monreal+Pogba
    B) Alonso+ Shaqiri

    It almost feels so close that I'm tempted to pick A because of Pogba's pricerise potential. I feel Alonso is the clearest seasonkeeper her though.

    Thoughts?
