With another seven days left until the deadline for Gameweek 4, there’s plenty time to ponder the numbers in our Members section. While some Fantasy managers still contemplate pressing the wildcard button, we take a look at some of the most notable attacking statistics on offer so far – in the first in a series of three articles, we begin with the defenders.
Ravel Morrison... 🙂
Open Controls
Studge Soldado and Giroud is my front 3
Open Controls
No.
Open ControlsNah unless your going to lose money on one of them I wouldn't pull the trigger. Im looking at tekkers in for soldado if he has another blank against Norwich.
Open ControlsCheers all, think ill leave it then.
Open ControlsThe transfer I keep thinking about most is Soldado to Benteke - but no, there's no way I can justify it.
Open Controls(And I have the same front three as you.)
Open Controls
Chaps, current WC side as follows.
Boruc
Coleman Zabeleta Enrique
Ozil Walcott Nolan Toure Michu
Giroud Benteke
Davies Chester Ward Fryatt
Fryatt clearly a sleeper but 4.4m
Would you go
A) Nolan and Fryatt
B) barclay and Bent
Do like Nolans track record.
Help plsOpen ControlsStrikers are too important in FPL to not use one of them.
Open Controlsteam looks decent as is
Open ControlsDon't think Sturridge will get as many points after Suarez comes back and he is also a bit of a crock. Soldado I do like but wanted a bit more balance to side and like 5 man midfield. Think long term its still the option even if the big players haven't scored much yet.
Open Controls
Get rid of Michu and put Hernández if you want a Swansea player Yaya Tour'e is doing well but they are playing Man U the following game week.
Chelsea have great midfielders but which one will play on a regular basis ? I have Lampard but mite change it to Willian later.
Gareth Barry is cheap also check out Spurs Lamela and Eriksen are both good player.Open Controls
Soldado hasn't looked great so far but now he has better players providing for him, that could change,
Sturridge will keep scoring all season IMO, unless Suarez cocks it up.
Can't you get Tekkers in for someone else?Open ControlsSorry... for the post above.
Open ControlsI love this site.
It makes me feel extremely intelligent.Open ControlsHAHA brilliant... mine was an even more ironic, delayed joke to RONH's on the previous page.
Only extremely intelligent people would have got that though. 😉Open Controls
Is putting Migs, Zabaleta, Ivanovic, Enrique and Coleman as the back five vastly over compensating in defence or with new bonus point system, a wise move?
Open ControlsNo. There have been a low number of goals per game scored this season to date. It may remain lower than previous seasons, but not as low as in the 3 weeks gone.
Open ControlsIs it time then for the midfielders to step up to the plate?
Open Controls
Too much IMO. I do believe investment in defence is important but Migs plus 3 top defenders should suffice.
Open ControlsI'm on wc and have had RVP in since beginning but have started to look at teams without, maybe I should stick with him and a slightly under balanced team for another couple of weeks.
Open Controls
you should read this: http://totalfpl.com/Articles/182/less-goals-this-season-yes-but-to-what-extent
addresses your questionOpen Controls
Have taken -8 to get this lot
Boruc Mignolet
Coleman, Zab, Ivan, shaw, Mbiwa
Walcott, Silva,Brady, Kim, Coutinho
Welbeck, Sturridge, Giroud.
If sturridge is confirmed to start for pool I will probably leave it but does this lot require a wildcard? Or just leave at -8?Open ControlsNo offence but where did all your money go? I can't see the value in your team.
Open ControlsValue? Currently worth 101.9. Guess having Silva, Walcott and Coutinho has eaten up some funds, hence considering a wildcard
Open Controls
Kim and Brady can cover Studge
Clyne or Chambers to start next game/s please?Open ControlsIt's a toss up I'm afraid. Chambers played very well for u19s the other day, not sure whether playing in that game will affect Pochs decison. Just keep an eye on the press conference
Open Controls
if I was to wildcard I would do this team ..
Mignolet
Zabaleta Coleman Fonte
Ozil Oscar YaYa Hernandez
Benteke Sturridge Giroud
Boruc Whittaker Chester Brady
Rmwct plsOpen ControlsWhen has Yaya ever consistently performed on an FPL basis?
Open ControlsAre you just picking the top scorers plus Ozil?
Open ControlsI think oscar yaya will smash it all season mate .. who would u rather put in there ??
Open Controls
I got a new phone; huawei ascend y300
It's pretty cool 😎Open Controlsiphone 5C 😉
Open ControlsI had the Iphone 3.
I think Iphones are massively overrated.Open Controlsthey are crap
Open Controls
why don't u share an image of that..... 🙂
Open Controlsnice...
i don't know much about huawei though... is it good.... haven't used any.....Open ControlsThat is exactly what I said to the guy in the shop when he suggested it to me.
He said they were was massive in the states & they would be here very soon too.
I like it better than the Iphone 3 already.Open Controlsgood then.... guess the salesman is also good 😉
States always differed from others though.... can't see too much motorola here either....Open Controls
The huawei ascend y300 os the only phone in history that has named itself 🙂

Best 4 midfielders atm? Ozil or Walcott?
Open Controlswalcott
umm tough one for best 4. i'd say walcott and 3 of ozil/lamela/eriksen/oscar/lamps/michu/coutinho/nolan/hba/silva. i know that was real helpful but it's hard to tell which mids are the best bet at the moment. which is why I feel now is a poor time to wild cardOpen Controlsare we talking about 4 midfielders in real game or FPL....
why are people talking about Ozil already.... i thought he'll be a provider like Wilshere, will he not?Open Controls
Walcott, Ozil, Silva, Lampard
Open ControlsWalcott and Michu.
Can see Lamela being up there once he's got a couple of games under his belt.
Coutinho to probably become the other once shifted to the hole.Open Controls
I work for three.co.uk
any1 need a new contract am ur man lol
best deals with new.phones .
just thought I would share that lol
and no its not in india . its Glasgow city centre 🙂Open ControlsI'd be more tempted if it was in India.
Open Controls
Hi All,
Looking at midfield punt player.
Brady vs Hernandez (SWA)
Brady has good fixtures and is on pens but will he actually be worth it?
Hernandez on a bit of a bandwagon and got a cheeky assist vs Man?Open Controlsfor all of you who still haven't signed up, you are welcome to participate in the FFS FA Cup if you'd like. it's a H2H tournament modeled after the real FA Cup for all members of the FFS Community. more details can be found here: http://uefacouncil.wordpress.com/2013/08/29/ffs-fa-cup/

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jplHESdeS_K5MO2eNYUJtATU2O5gDaJzliMfXZw1OBo/viewformOpen Controlsis dzeko to welbeck a decent option? is welbeck on form?
Open ControlsHe's on form considering he's Welbeck.
I'd avoid.Open Controlswho should i transfer dzeko to so? i have 0.6 in the bank as well
Open ControlsBit early to say but Lukaku might be a good option. Not this week though.
What about - and this is a bit random - keeping Dzeko and relying on one of your subs to supplement his points if he doesn't play. How would this tactic have worked last year?Open Controls
Not a Welbeck fan, however not as bad a move as most on here seem to think. Considering the exact move myself. The fact is that if Utd open up Palace, then Welbeck ashe did against Swans is capable of high returns. A big upgrade from Dzeko in terms of fixture.
Open Controlsmaybe lambert
Open Controls
Mccarthy of Everton? Thoughts?
Also will this affect BarkleyOpen ControlsToo defensive.
Remains to be seen - if you've already got him, I'd keep him. If you haven't, don't.Open Controls
evening to all.
anyone willing to take a punt on how many cleanies swansea will keep over their next 10..?
with everyone getting hernandez in, i feel like a differential and ben davies seems to be the go. as he can sneak in some assists and even goals every now and then.
your thoughts?Open ControlsWent for Williams myself last week. They have some nice fixtures soon and I can see enough clean sheets to make it worthwhile.
Open ControlsI think their fixtures look delicious and may get Williams in at 4.9, Davies will rotate with Naylor.
Open Controlsyou think naylor will rotate?
davies has been solid ever since he got the nod. i feel he has made the position his now.Open Controls
my thoughts? = 4. CPL, WHM, CAR, STOKE.
Open Controls
Giroud or tekkers? with Sturridge and Soldado?
Open ControlsDo people think Nani will start against Crystal palace
Open ControlsDude, I know. Amazing. You can hardly tell though and the '.' is a wonderful addition!
Open Controlsthat's crazy! have you tracked down the guy that did it?

How about this?
New one. I knew there was another Joga Bonito (Gravless B@stard haha)Open Controls
Hence this P of yours ???
Open Controls
Any reason why I shouldn't be really happy with this wildcard team?
Migs Lewis
Zab Coleman Vidic Collins Chambers
Lamela Walcott Fellaini Barkley Brady
Sturridge Giroud Benteke
1M in the bank for may be Fellaini > Silva/Coutinho/Michu
(Chambers and Barkley potential rotation risks but not worried)Open ControlsWouldn't want 2 weak midfielders in a non RVP team
Open ControlsBut I don't think they'll be weak midfielders. Price isn't always a sign of a weak player. I'm confident of them outscoring 7m+ players.
Open ControlsCheap doesn't necessarily mean weak. And when RVP starts scoring for fun and people captain him then non RVP owners will feel immeasurable pain.
Open Controls
fellaini and barkley are why you shouldn't be happy
also too much in defense unless you're planning on play 433 weeklyOpen ControlsFellaini is a great player and he will be the only nailed on way into Man U's midfield. He'll score plenty this year and looks a bargain at that price.
Open Controlshe'll only score from set pieces as he'll be playing DM
Open ControlsDo you not think that Carrick and Cleverley will be playing DF at the moment and Fellaini in behind RVP?
Open ControlsCleverley should be nowhere near a team that were champions last season. Also Kagawa and Rooney are far better CAMs than Fellaini is.
Open Controls
OK. He'll only score from set pieces. Of course.
Open Controls
Zab's fixtures aren't great. I'd be tempted to downgrade him to Mert/Kos and upgrade Vidic to Evra.
Are you not concerned about Barkley's playing time with Everton having signed 2 mids and only got rid of 1?
I'd prefer Benteke to Sturridge but that's just personal preference really.
I'd be keen to monitor Fellaini's average position before taking a punt on him at 8.5 too but with Rooney out and Kagawa seemingly out of favour - it could pay off
No glaring issues.Open ControlsI have both Benteke and Sturridge.
I have no confidence in Arsenals defence and feel that Zabs assists will make up for potential lack of cleanies with the tough fixture list.
I agree Fellaini is a risk. His inclusion is based on the next game being his debut, he'll be out to impress and it's home vs palace.Open Controls
I'd have Walker over Zabaleta and I'd start one of those mids in place of Felaini, but no other complaints.
Open ControlsThanks for all of the input lads.
Open ControlsI would do Fellaini to Lampard, Brady to JWP.
Frees up funds and would rather have the players. Could do Barkley to HBA.Open Controls
Predictions on when Mata will come good?
or will he even be a part of Mourinhos plan?
Should we just be steering clear of all things Chelsea?(other than defenders)Open ControlsMign
Mert coleman enrique (whittaker baker)
walcott lamela HBA coutinho hernandez
soldado giroud
need to ask about hernandez i feel good about everyone else but I'm not sure if hernandez will continue to score as much as he did in these first 3 GWS. thoughts? suggestion? any and all would be appreciated trying to build a solid team that will last up to GW12 at least without any major changesOpen ControlsA) Hernandez
B) Moses
C) Ramsey
Ta 🙂Open ControlsA. More offensive than C and more nailed than B.
Has better fixtures than both soon too.Open ControlsComment fail below! A punt on Moses might be fun.
Open ControlsProbably Hernandez.
Open ControlsThanks all
Open ControlsA makes most sense
B if he nails his place (unlikely)
C . . . Well I currently have him and I'm a bit bothered about seeing how he functions in an Ozil midfield (when Arteta gets back you'd imagine his game time will be pretty restricted - but then his form's been terrific, so who knows!)Open Controls
Hi guys, can I get some thoughts on my team? I have no FT left and have 0.4m in the bank, I know I need to sort out my defence (Toure still in there) but would like to get some other opinions.
Mig (Lewis)
Zab Kos Chester (Toure Brayford)
Walcott Silva Lampard Mirallas (Kim)
Sturridge Soldado LambertOpen ControlsA punt on Moses might be fun.
Open Controlssorry for a repost but,
Dzeko to welbeck or lambert?Open ControlsGave my views above.
Open Controlsyes sorry, but is welbeck completed nailed on for the moment?
Open ControlsIf he is nailed of for that game I'll be happy enough. Rooneys status will shed more light on things, however his current England form must put him in with a real shout. Will wait until I know more.
Open Controlsok thanks
Open Controls
don't go for welbeck now.... take lambert or any others...
wait for sometime and take Rooney when he's fit.... none can be a replacement of RVP other than Ronney ... [just my opinion]Open Controls
Give Welbeck a whirl, Dzecko can be too frustrating.
Open ControlsBlimey! I keep failing with replies this morning, I'm logging off before I embarrass myself any more!
Open Controls
morning lads , could you run your eye over my latest WC draft,
and give a view on the option ,basically going 4-3-3 with
Mignolet 4m
Chester Evra Walker Coleman MERTESACKER
Walcott Hernandez Brady Ward-Prowse BEN ARFA
RVP Benteke Giroud
or mertesacker & ben afra > clyne & lampard ?
thanks 🙂Open Controls- Champions league key players
Fantasy football scout daily hot topic
The Champions league group stages are nearly here. Who are the key players to watch out for? Especially looking for the hidden gems.Open Controlsfor for what? 😉
Open Controls- Open Controls
Bernard
Bruno
Ambrose
Are pretty decent budget options.Open ControlsGOLKEEPERS:
Hildebrand - I believe he represents the best value for a 4.5m gk in the game. Great fixtures and value.
Wiland - Only starting 3.5m gk in the game. Shame Kobenhavn (team he plays for) are in a group with Juventus and Real Madrid.
Diego Lopez - Many will be disappointed, the 3.5m Real Madrid gk is set to only start in La Liga games while Casillas plays in the CL games according to a recent report by Marca.
DEFENDERS:
Uchida - 4.0m Schalke def, not completely nailed on but starts more often than not. Nice cheap route into Schalke defense with a favourable group.
Ambrose - 3.5m Celtic def, only starting defender at that price in the game.
MIDFIELDERS:
Bruno - 4.0m mid whose scored 5 goals in 6 games so far this season. He's also OOP.
Josue - 4.5m Porto mid whose scored 2 goals in 3 games so far.
FORWARDS:
Lima - 5.5m Benfica fwd. Now this guy is worth it. Nailed on and in 3 games so far in the Portuguese league has 1 goal and 1 assist. Excellently priced and is in a favourable group too with a great first fixture.
Markovic - Not sure of game time but a 4.5m Benfica forward could be worth it. 2 goals in 2 games off the bench.
Musa - 5.5m CSKA fwd, been scoring nicely in the Russian league, he's one for matchday 2 when CSKA face Viktoria Plzen at home.
Think I've covered the best budget options in the game here 🙂Open ControlsHear me know & believe me later... Schalke's Julian Draxler, will be great CL Fantasy value.

struggling to find any good cheap midfield options for 4.9m or less, ideally 4.5m!
any ideas?
its to fund rvp inOpen ControlsJWP is all that would interest me even with the risk involved
Open Controlsthat was my thought but saints fans on twitter said he isnt nailed on though
Open Controls
JWP is the best bet.
Open ControlsMarveaux NEW
Didn't start the first match & subsequently had his price drop to £4.9.
Lots of chances created thus far & appears to be nailed on. (Feel free to correct me though...)
As for JWP... SOU has a glut of midfielders & honestly I don't think he's a long term play.Open Controls
What do people think of the prospects of Lee Camp, Carl Jenkinson and Lescott getting game time over the next few weeks? Camp, in particular, could be a good shout with Foster out.

Morning all, how are we?
Anyone reckon Soldado or Studge to Bentekkers is worth a -4 this week? (Studge if it turns out he's actually injured)
