We bring Gameweek 7 under the microscope this evening to highlight some of the most significant statistics from the weekend’s action. Newcastle’s in-form forward, United’s young pretender, Liverpool’s front two and Swansea’s attacking threat are amongst a number of stand-out statistical selections across Saturday and Sunday’s matches:
Good morning all 🙂
Open Controls
What about Toure and Lukaku in for Eriksen and Giroud?
Open Controls
Keep Giroud. he has NOR and cry next.
Open Controls
Great team.....
Keep 2 FTs for GW9 when you can re-assess how many ARS you want ?
Or you could splurge FT on Cowie and upgrade to a defender with game-time. Someone like Rosenior HUL would even release some extra 0.5 funds although money isn't your problem !
Perhaps best to leave well alone for a week or 2 ?Open Controls
Migs (Boruc)
coleman, Zabaleta, Fonte, Davies (Chester)
HBA, Michu, Ozil (Brady, JWP)
Giroud, Soldado, Suarez
As you can see I have a few problems with my team.
Soldado and HBA to Lukaku and Oscar sound like the best options?Open Controls
This is so hard ....
There are no bad picks for a front 3.
Just ones that will succeed and those that will fail. 1m+ in rank, I can't afford another failure ...Open Controls
Hmm, on a WC, which Southampton defender is best?
I currently have Shaw but am tempted by either the budget prospects of Clyne or paying that bit extra for Fonte/LovrenOpen Controls
clyne is an absolute steal
Open Controls
As a long time Lovren owner on a WC I think I'd get Clyne.
Open Controls
Clyne, what a steal thanks for this! Didn't even notice his price
Open Controls
Rate my potential wildcard team!
Mignolet Davies
Faye Evra Vertonghen Baines Ivanovic
Ramsey Barkley Morrison Januzaj, Brady
RVP Aguero, SuarezOpen Controlsthats one serious ass strike force but lets face it that midfield despite great form aint gunna last the pace
Open ControlsMidfield is very cheap thanks to the Big Strikers and Big Defence, but its not too bad
Personally I wouldn't want to own 4 of Barkley, Morrison, Januzaj, Brady, 2 of those at most for me, but I can see why you've done it.
The likes of Oscar, Michu, Yaya, Silva are all decent expensive midfield options who you'd expect to outscore the above 4 in the long termOpen Controls
Don't like at all I'm afraid.
No back up gk.
You've gone with too many expensive defenders when you'll find cheaper versions exist often within the same team.
Midpark is full of uncertainty: Ramsey, Morrison, Jan - do you expect consistent returns from these players?
Forwards: you must be the only one with RVP. Aguero - been there, done that. Not for me.
3/10.Open Controls
Ramsey, no. Hard games in quick succession coming up. Rvp mega no, not worth it at all. There are loads of strikers who'll out score him this season. Aguero not consistent and rotated. Negredo has been more impressive, and not yet exploded. Mega expensive defence, Dawson is cheaper, United leak goals, Terry over Ivanovic. Weak midfield. Missed the points on all those players, unless you had some already. Baines is already risen. Unless Barkley keeps getting fouled for free kicks, he's not worth it.
It's a mix of old expensive previous fpl big pointers and youngest new talent, but the best buys are somewhere inbetween, those who will improve on their previous season(s) and are nailed on. People who got Oscar and Yaya got it right, or got lucky. People like Lukaku, Sturridge, as well.Open Controls
What price will RVP be by the start of next GW?
Open ControlsIf I had to guess I would say he will definitely fall to 13.8.
Open Controls
Have 5.5 in the bank and could easily use some of it to do Sturridge -> RVP if I wanted.. But other strikers look far more dangerous at the moment!
Open ControlsSturridge to rvp would be madness unless you're attracted to expensive buys, like people think something is better because it costs more. He looks disinterested. People said Moyes ruins forwards. Then the swansea game. And now..he's not even feeding off scraps, he's in limbo.
Open Controls
trying desperately to get michu in... in order to do so i need to do either:
1. Rooney > Lukaku
or
2. Ozil > ramsey/paulinho/7.7 m worth of someone else.
Which should I do?Open Controls
Giroud & Nastasic > Lukaku & Terry for free? Lukaku is tough to ignore but Giroud's fixtures are good too
Open Controls
Jafa have you been picked up by a beach soccer team yet? Would you fancy joining me and Newman in the Japanese team? I'm hoping we can get plenty of DZers in our squad.
Open Controls
1. Rooney to lukaku AND hba to oscar/Michu/yaya
OR
2. Rooney to sturridge AND hba to januszaj/amalfitanoOpen Controlsif u hav ur heart set on ditching wazza then its gotta be a without a doubt
Open ControlsThere's always the option of keeping Rooney and just changing HBA
However, I only have £1.1m
Which gives £8.4m to spend on
A replacement ....
Unless it's a budget mid I'm at a loss....
Basically I'm struggling this yearOpen Controls
Will RVP come good? need some reassurance. What has moyes done to him. he seems to be playing lonely up front. Under fergie he was involved with alot of play.
Open Controls
i lost rvp a few weeks a go and never looked back..
Open ControlsStatistically he looks alright this season, although the last couple of games have been a little disappointing. It depends if you think United will turn it around and start scoring goals again.
Open Controls
When saf was under pressure they wud go for tight games n win 1-0.
Moyes history at Everton seems to show similar pattern so dnt think man u will be banging them in anytime soonOpen Controls
You'd only pay 14 mill for RVP if he was in a high scoring team and he did it every single week...United are miles away from that right now. They'll do well and no doubt but they aint head and shoulders above everybody else...and nor is RVP...He's a 10 mill player and that's all...
Open Controls
not an issue of management...delivery and service to rvp has generally been very poor.. been dropping deep to get the ball hold it give it out wide and get himself into the box on a regular basis and either nani runs directly into a huddle of 2 or 3 defenders or valencia runs full throttle towards the corner flag then stops and cuts it back..
Open Controls
Getting silly now this RVP transfer lark...He's now lost 450.000 owners and still only dropped by 0.1...FPL towers need to take a look at that.
Open ControlsDear dead zoners,
Want to get some serious discussion going on Silva vs yaya toure
I think this yr yaya is going to out score Silva as he is getting more shooting chances & playing higher up the pitch
Also I think yaya will play every match he it likely to be rested unlike Silva who for champ league might be rotated
What do you guys think?Open Controlsnot even a discussion to be fair yaya is spanking silva in terms of points so far and will continue to do so
Open Controls
Hardly fair when Silva's been out injured
Open Controls
Here's some stats: http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comparison-tool/
Silva looks the further forward.Open ControlsWell Silva is still a little bit higher up the pitch (not a lot in it). A quick look at the comparison tool in the members area also suggests there is very little in it with Silva a lot more creative and Yaya offering a little more goal threat. I think Yaya's set pieces has really helped even the scores between these two.
Open ControlsThanks Ryan, for me when man city need a goal yaya steps up n drives them on like he did for negreados goal but if they winning easily he doesn't push fwd.
I need to choose either
1. Silva
2. Yaya
3. Oscar
As a hba replacement
Am favouring yaya not explosive but think will gt steady points
Quick poll pls?Open Controls
I think you're right..in his case it's not just the stats but the stuff you can't measure...When he get's in the box it's with real intent and conviction and he's only after one thing...scoring...and he does it well...Silva's a great player but it's all a bit airy fairy by comparison (sometimes)...
Open ControlsThanks wakey so who wud u pick out of the 3 choices above as hba replacement
Open ControlsOscar...You'll be replicating a lot of teams now with Yaya and whilst this may be the best season he's had in FPL i doubt he'll outdo Oscar given the same minutes...I'm going Oscar/Michu/Wally/7.0/5.0...(Paulinho and Barkley for now)...
Open Controls
the people without toure will make a case for silva...they are kidding themselves and u.. people still refering to yaya as a defensive midfield clearly not watching city games hes bombing forward at every oppurtunity creating and scoring not to mention smashing home free kicks now with fernandinho doing the donkey work behind him.. get him in.. and btw i dont have yaya as i fancy michu to soundly outscore him over the next month or so just giving an honest opinion
Open Controls
I am going to captain this kid for next gw with some of the skill i see in this vid he might just be a sensation in the league this year he looks real explosive.
He has to play next game with passes and attempts like that he is (C) materiel.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQs31vriCawOpen ControlsI will link my team so you know i am a man of my word.
Open Controls
kid is an absolute joy to watch.. just cant let myself get too excited about his future until he puts pen to paper on a new contract though..
Open Controls
you know this is just a friendly, right?
Open Controls
anyone gonna take a chance on coutinho again? He's burned me, but Moses has been effective in that role, and with two strikers in form to pass to it can't possibly fail...i just like him. It's still early. But I'm planning ahead. He's a differential, for some reason loads had him at the start, and I don't see any getting him in unless he does a Ramsey.
Open Controlsshowed flashes of brilliance last season also prone to going missing in games aswell though much like ben arfa.. was always ridiculously over priced at 9m imo too.. sturridge or suarez is all the pool cover u need
Open ControlsYeah i have them both, and having another is greedy. But I'm trying to stick to players I like, as though no point chasing will benefit me, and liverpool play free flowing football, out of a cup, no european competition. If they score, it's basically suarez or sturridge or Moses, or Gerrard on a penalty. He was overpriced though, same with siggurdson in his second season though after his post january signing form for swansea. I'm sure he was 9m for spurs because I bought him and he was rubbish.
Really think Liverpool will have a lot more routs this season like last.Open Controls
For me, Coutinho value will be found in the SAS
Open ControlsDefinitely. Though, on the other hand, they are assisting each other at the moment, Moses isn't feeding them. Exciting and nailed on. I wish he'd drop to 8m though.
Open ControlsYeah a bit too expensive to splash out on. And I don't want to put too much money into midfield at the moment
Open Controls
Morning All
What's this beach volleyball thing that everyone's on about? I've been out of the loop for a few days, haven't even watched MOTD from Saturday yet.Open Controls

Red, are blue lion and rumple good choices? do you they have your recommendation?
Open ControlsBlue Lion seems a good guy, on regularly. Have to admit I don't know Rumple so will leave with you? Not sure if he is DZ or not but Blue Lion is.
Open Controls
hey Tokyo Red....
I didn't expect to see u so soon .. Said u were off to bed...
by the way, thanks for remembering that .... U are a good guy... 🙂Open Controls
Cheers guys.
Yes, I'd love to play for the Samurai Blue if there's a place going Ryan. Should be great fun - thanks to the chaps at EUFA for another great competition !Open ControlsI will sign you up for us now.
Open Controls
looks interesting lads i wudnt mind a crack at that myself if possible iv a solid team going on and a wildcard still intact.. if theres no room no worries at all.. cheers
Open Controls
billy, as manager of team Japan, we would welcome you with open arms
Open ControlsThanks Newman, nice to see you again.
Open ControlsJapan are taking the deadzone by a storm!!!
Open ControlsIf only we could have gotten Triggerlips and Acqua.....sigh.
Still a great group of gents, though.Open ControlsYou need Corrigan and Camzy in there! A lady please.
Open ControlsIs Camzy really a deadzoner though? not on late usually, it seems.
Cant say I know corrigan at all.Open Controls
I'm not sure, they are probably too elite for us 😉
Open ControlsToo true! Uptights!
Open Controls
I'm interested. Pick me! Pick me!

Nate - The Greatest One
Where are you?
What have you done?
Why have you ditched the Tehau Brothers? I thought we had the anti-Forca bond.Open Controls
He nearly signed for the Solomons, but it turns out he doesn't hate Senegal nearly enough.
Open ControlsWe have The Special One in charge himself. That surely is a serious statement that we mean business!
isn't it?Open Controls
Haven't put me in yet 😉
Open Controls
Last chance for siggurdson and eriksen against villa. They're away, no sitting back by home side, right. 60% possession and 4-0 last season. Benteke maybe back but who cares! I should have stayed away from spurs. Given how awful spurs are at home and Hill don't concede, that fixture could either be 4-0 or 0-0. And then they've got everton, newcastle, many city, man united...hard to know with spurs, last gameweek was the surprise of the season.
Open Controls
quick one;going forward whose best?
1--terry 45p 10bonus (terry going up 2nite)
2--ivan 31p 2bOpen ControlsTerry at the mo
Open Controls
i got ivan, but was trying to manuever a way to get JT.did not get jt at beg cause was afraid of rotation.mistake.jt is a magnet as cb for bonus p + can score like ivan.
Open ControlsWill Liverpool play 352 when Coutinho and Johnson return?
Open ControlsI'm hoping so...that's why Johnson's near the top of my shopping list
Open ControlsWhat I'm wondering is if Coutinho takes Moses place does Moses start, and where...?
Open ControlsI think Moses drops out. He hasn't exactly won the spot on the field.
Open Controls
I thought they played it because of Johnsons injury and no ones capabiltiy to go forward from a defenders position on the right than him.
I believe Rodgers will change it to the 4231/451 of last seasonOpen ControlsNoooo.
Dont spoil it.
Deep down I agree, but I'm hoping Sakho was bought for 352 so GJ becomes a ridiculous bargainOpen Controls😉
Open Controls
latest statements from rodgers says something else. He said theyve been doing this for some time on the training ground, and this is how he hopes to get the best out of SaS, and when they link so insanely well together too, i guess he cant change back to normal ways. Also with so many good centerbacks and the quick and attacking-minded wingbacks the tactic is perfect for the liverpool squad. Moses and hendo to be benched. Coutinho will be a good fantasyprospect, no doubt. Just have to see if he will be essential.
Open Controls
Next detailed discussion benteke vs lukaku
I think lukaku has better service & better next 3 games
But benteke is on pens with gabby prone to fall cud b profitableOpen ControlsBoth for me.
If any player appears a high chance of being the dominant outlet for his sides attack, I get them.
Both these do.Open ControlsI'm looking at getting Benteke in too. Already have Lukaku
Open ControlsI have negredo Suarez and lukaku. Plan is to pit in benteke for negredo. Seems sensible
Open Controls
What are the latest Poaching Stats from OPTA?
Triggerlips? Nate? Anyone else?Open Controls
Have been thnkng of doing this transfer before today's price rise
Negredo and Nastasic > Terry and Lukaku
Shld i go through it or wait for any injuries in the break??Open Controlsjealous of all those first ramsey owners who got the points and the 1m handed to them.

How they get 1m?
