We drill down into the post-Gameweek Opta data now, rolling out the first members’ article of the week.
The impact of Arsenal’s new playmaker is put under assessment, along with a host of in-form targets in the bottom half of the Premier League table as the relegation battle starts to heat up.

D- Ibe, and play Ibe over Mili IMO.
Thanks Mou Mkhi is back
Have to admit he looked great against Everton, but let’s see if he can do it against a proper side
Yeah , more monitoring required , but gut says he's back
Saying that I bought him in last night lol
JWP coming in under the radar could he be worth a punt?
Think he’s a great shout, cheap, seemingly nailed and on set pieces
More of a casual transfer atm I think. He gets these points sometimes, mostly due to set pieces, but they aren't predictable enough. Liverpool next, and likely no GW31 fixture.
Could change my tune over the next couple of GWs if it turns out he does have a GW31 fixture, but then again his run of good fixtures isn't quite long enough, so may as well get Milli or anyone else who's cheaper.
Benteke being overlooked? 😮
Will have a game in GW31 if Huddersfield don't get past Birmingham tonight and United in the next round.
Never fall for that trap again
Ignored
I don't really use the word never, but in this case i have to say never again, i'd rather have only 10 players.
he really doesn't look like the player he was at villa anymore. Plus I think Palace bought a new striker, who could compete for minutes I guess
Never pick, never play, never captain.
Who'd you rather captain out of this lot?
A: Salah (sot)
B: Sanchez (new)
C: Kane (ARS)
Salah for me
c
A
A
Salah!
His EO will be ridiculous this GW, even with the fear of reduced minutes I don't think its worth the risk not captaining him.
c
A, or is this a trick question?
Salah - I could see Luverpool ripping Southampton a new one
A
Cheers!
start Ayew (BUR) or Lingard (new) this week? Lingard likely to be dropped?
Well if Lingard is to start it's a no brainer . Taking my chances with him one last time
Lin
I'd go Ayew personally - but JL hath wronged me
Mo Salah, the Egyptian King! 🙂
*Pharaoh
* looks for Jarvis's jizz comment 🙂
Least there's something I can do that Jarvish can't!

but yeah Mo well worth the praise

What are we thinking for a Man City defence.
I’m concerned Otamendi could be saved for CL games now, with Stones and Laporte getting more regular PL games.
Anyone else concerned by PL/CL rotation, especially for City.
Vince says Hi
I’m saying that Ota is their top defensive asset right now, and likely to be saved for CL.
Kompany I’m not sure, but I’d never risk him as an FPL pick.
Yeah - I'm not sure City CBs are a great call right now...
Yeah Otamendi's on the chopping block. Starting him this GW and then reassess.
WC defence is tough!
Would steer clear for now, some other good options anyway
Kiko GW32-34 (BOU, BUR, hud), very surprised more folk aren’t talking about this.
You can get him now for only 4.3m....
Already got him 😎
Ahead of the curve 😎
Better to save 2FTs for GW32 so you don't need a hit to get him in
lol, he could well reward his only owner soon
Bonus magnet
Now that he is almost back to fitness will he oust Janmaat ?
You may have to wait just a little longer Jaf
Yep, risky.
Doucoure, JWP or Allen as fifth mid?
First one
Doucoure
Would you stretch for Deulofeu over Doucoure, or is it not worth the extra cash?
I think it may be, that being said it's only been two matches and doucoure is nailed on and is doing well for his price. Gonna wait a week on deul and save my ft this week.
Better to get Deu now or never I think. (or at least not until GW32)
I'd have to move son out this gw for him and it's his home form that concerns me.
Fair enough. I wouldn't bother with Deu then. I'm not either, as much as I do want him.
Tempted, but as an Everton fan, I know he can disappear for a few weeks. Easy to miss his points.
That said I’ve got Lingard...
Yep. With a username like mine, I know that all too well. But he still tended to look dangerous. I think the team organisation was as much the trouble as anything else. At Watford, he seems to have more responsibility to influence the game through the centre if he likes, and he can express himself through means other than delivering delicious balls from out wide. Only time will tell if this continues, of course, but I think it's promising given that he's a bigger player for Watford than he was for Everton.
Agree. I’m 90% on swapping for lingles
Definitely is. Easy. Definitely. But what is a "fifth mid" to you? Does that mean you will be benching him most weeks? If yes, then no.
Just means the cheapest midfielder of my 3-5-2
And he will play every game? Never rotated with a defender or a forward? In which case, Deulofeu is worth the outlay.
All better than Lingard
I’m going with Doco, or Delafeou - that team is set up to score
Doucoure
start one:
A- Ogbonna (WAT)
B- Duffy (stk)
C- Quaner (BOU
...Martina nailed for Everton, Sam seems to like him.
Is his place under threat from Coleman anytime soon?
Baines?
Everton defender Leighton Baines' recovery schedule put back again
But Sam Allardyce has been satisfied with stand-in Cuco Martina's form
https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-defender-leighton-baines-recovery-14238988
“It is difficult to say exactly (when Baines will be available), because there have been that many times he has been due to come back well before now and that has not happened,” he said.
“I would have thought... end of this month, with any luck.
“Then you have to get game time and training time, even though you have recovered from the problem you had.
“You have to do several days’ training with the first-team, then try to get a game with the Under-23s or behind closed doors.
Thanks mate, great info
No worries. I simply Googled for you. One day, I'm sure you will return the favour
Of course
Martina plays as a LB, Coleman is a RB
I f***ing hope so
If it helps I just did Christiansen > Martina
As mentioned, Big Sam's happy, very little competition until Baines back (4+ weeks), decent fixtures and guaranteed GW31 game.
All good stuff if you overlook Everton defence being a fairly ropey FPL proposition
Can’t be overlooked IMO. Martina was WOEFUL last week.
Thanks all.
RLC back any time soon? Have had so many other troubles that I still have him
Unlikely it appears. Many still have him though, Will leave sometime soon. sometime....
I As a fellow owner I think he's done to be honest. Hodgson said not long ago that he was back with Chelsea and facing surgery on his ankle.
VVD or Davies
Eriksen or KDB (have Sterling)
Firmino or Auba
How about this for a -4?
Chupo > Walcott
Lingard > Delufeuo
Otamendi > Fernandez
B is definitely the best. And I would actually rather do it for a hit than a FT (would perfer to save the transfer or get the hit out of the way). So I'd say go ahead with Delufeup, whoever that is, but selling Choupo is a bit of a waste, and Ota > Fernandez is foolhardy imo
Sorry didn't realise you mean all three. Not worth it for me. Maybe Bauer/Shawcross/Martina instead of Fernandez for the GW31 fixture, and you have a better argument, but selling Lingard is the only pressing matter, if it's really even that pressing at all
Really don't rate Chupo. Although I didn't see the last Stoke game. Somehow ended up buying JRod & Chupo a cuple of weeks ago. Both failed so far.
prefer just the first and save 1
Can't afford the first one alone.
Keep choupo - Wally is going to be extremely frustrating to own, Everton are ragged, misdirected and devoid of confidence.
Everton did look terrible against Arsenal. Just really not sure about Chupo.
GTG or should I change something?

Wanted to do Lingard->Walcott but have missed the rise/drop and would need to take a -4 which doesn't seem worth it.

Save ,we have same front 8 and I will also bench him and save,then with 2 ft decide will you go 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 or you will have benching headaches every time
Opinions please, hold or make changes? 1ft 1.3itb ddg alonso ota duffy salah sterling son ling walcott kane wilson subs. holgate, christ, quaner
Wc?
Top 15k and leading ml for 2months but others are catching fast
Hold.
Lingard and 1 defender all you need to sort.
Alonso or Christensen out?
Alonso was rested
Mkhi or Pogba?
Christ to mbemba to save cash or to bauer?
And ling to who? Im confused
In GW31 can we play wild card and free hit chip??
Hence there’d be 2 weeks to play with actual team and get some price rises...?
No
No - max 1 chip per GW.
One chip per game week. You don't make any profit on players you bring in on your free hit.
Mahrez replacements?
Or will he start against City? Cheers
Missed training again today. Doesn't look likely.
Wouldn't count on him playing
Play:
Quaner v Bournemouth
Dunk v stoke
Albrighton v city?
Dunk
Thanks
DDG (Myhill)
Alonso - Jones - Duffy - Gomez (Masuaku)
Salah - Walcott - Hazard - Grob - Sterling
Kane (Depoitre - Quaner)
2 FT w 0 ITB
I would like to replace Masuaku and perhaps downgrade Depoitre.
Any other thoughts or comments?
Current rank is 66K. Nothing to write home about but enough to talk to wifey about...SMH
Alonso owners, what are you doing with him this weekend?
Keeping ( want to save)
Are you playing him though?
Yes
Looking forward to his 15 pointer.
Season keeper
Snap
Keeping, playing.
Can't see Conte resting him again in a hurry after last night's horror show.
No, I suppose you're right. From that perspective it couldn't of gone better for us as Alonso owners. Chelsea are in a bit of a muddle in general though.
I would argue for a different result had Alonso played.
Although he played the previous horror show.
Having a drink or 2 on him for returning 15 points
No issue with keeping him at all
This weekend do I play VVD or JWP? I think there's an argument for both imho.
Tough one. I'd probably go with JWP
Patrice Evra off to West Ham on a free transfer...
What price we talking? (£4.5)
Lucky he will be so far away from the fans at the London Stadium.
😆
Adrian
Alonso - Mee - Otamendi
Salah (vc) - Hazard (c) - Lingard - Shaqiri - Sterling
