As always, our first members article of the week delves into the data from the previous batch of fixtures. This time around, the displays of Chelsea’s wide men, Liverpool’s lone forward, Southampton’s new playmaker and the Hammers’ attacking improvement all come under analysis.

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

    any city fans here? what are the chances the jovetic starts the next three games if everyone is fit?

    1. The King
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Aguero should be fully fit after the international break, same with Dzeko. So it'll be between Dzeko and Jovetic for the second striker spot.

    2. wheato
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Most people took the gamble with him knowing Aguero was doubtful for the first few games.

      The brace last night simple locks him in for a start against Stoke. Probably.

      I'll be monitoring the internationals with 2 FTs and looking to shift him on then.

        "Locks him in" "Probably" lol

        1. wheato
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Nothing is 100% these days!

  2. Liastro ⭐️
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    2FTs...0.0m in the bank.

    Krul - Foster

    Cahill - Chambers - Naylor - van Aanholt - Wisdom

    Fabregas - Ramsey - Mata - Siggy - Marney

    Rooney - Costa - Dzeko

    Thinking Chambers + Dzeko -> Clyne + Jovetic. Thoughts?

    1. andres
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Betrand instead?

    2. wheato
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Same 2 to Colo and Ade.

  3. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Surely Boruc plays in the LC for Soton, yes?

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Gazza I reckon. Boruc is having a sulk somewhere.

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        That will do as well.

  4. Artemon
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Have 2 FTs , so have to use 1 of them othewise will lose - suggestions?

    Krul (Elliot)

    Lovren - Debuchy - Jones (PVA - Moore)

    Ramsey - Mata - Fabregas - Sigurdsson (Marney)

    Costa - Rooney - Jovetic

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Lovren's not worth the money at Liverpool.

    2. andres
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Downgrade lovren

    3. The King
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Liverpool can't defend, shift Lovren.

    4. wheato
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Lovren > Colo

      1. Artemon
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Agreed that its Lovren that should go. Not sure if Colo is the answer, would mean doubling up on Newcastle...

  5. Koflok
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    So

    A) PvA Jovetic (-4)

    B) Cahilll Naismith*

    *up to 6m striker

    1. andres
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      A

  6. andres
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    A ade, de jong/tadic
    B jovetic, lamela

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      B

      1. andres
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Jove too short term?

        1. Podge
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          It's a bit risky alright but there's points in him if he gets the minutes.

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

  7. Bøss ⭐
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    anyone considering wild carding over international break? if so, why? (poor start?)

    There are players I'd like, and some slight tweaks I could make and tinker with but I could probably get by without them and save it for later instead.... it is tempting though!

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I was planning on it but have gone off the idea now, not much a hit doesn't solve.

    2. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I always regret it when I do it early. Three GWs done the line you will want to tinker and do it again but you would have lost it. Just save it.

    3. wheato
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Previously the benefit was team value building.

      With the change in formula, I don't see the worth.

      Unless your team is toilet, nothing a couple of hits won't remedy.

  8. Geoff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    hey all, would appreciate some advice on this (2FT 0.5 bank)

    Krul Foster
    Clyne Pieters Caulker Chester Moore
    Ramsey Fabregas Mata Siggy Marney
    Rooney Costa Giroud

    Giroud out for who?
    Chester out for who? Colo?

    Thanks in advance

    1. MrPenguin11
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Giroud to Adebayor

      Definitely Coloccini

  9. MrPenguin11
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Krul(Begovic)

    Wisdom Clyne Coloccini (Terry, Chester)

    Eriksen Sigurdsson Mata Ramsey(El Ahmadi)

    Rooney DCosta Jovetic

    0.4 in the bank; already traded Jones for Clyne; no FT

    looks like Begovic is going to fall in price; should I take a 4 point hit to trade him out for Mannone and avoid the price drop?

    How's my team look? Thanks.

  10. snowman
    • 16 Years

    is chester only suspended for 1 game?

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      yeh

    2. FPL Bargain
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      yes

    3. Domo
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yep

  11. Honeybadger
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Did Terry Eriksen Zamora to Dummett De Jong Jovetic... -4, had 2 FT. Bad move?

    1. laGan1n1
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      yes

      1. laGan1n1
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        dont sell Terry and Eriksen

  12. Feanor
    • 16 Years

    Finally got around to renewing my Membership.

    Man, these are some really BIG numbers.

  13. Elwood
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Dzeko or Jovetic for the next 8?

    Why is Jovetics price protected?

    1. andres
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Why next 8?

      1. Elwood
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        No point in planning any further than 8 games.

    2. wheato
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Neither.

      It isn't.

      1. Elwood
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        On TFPL is is protected.

        1. wheato
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          I'm pretty sure it's broke as nobody is aware of the new formula for price changes.

        2. Tangogooner
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          I see, but does that mean there is no price rise?

  14. RoyaleBlue
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on this team?

    Krul
    terry naylor pva
    haz ramsey siggy lamela
    roo aguero C naismith

    foster marney pieters baird

    1.3 mil itb so can do lamela to fab next gw thoughts?

    1. FPL Bargain
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Good. Ramsey and Aguero good captain options since you don't have costa

      1. RoyaleBlue
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks I preferd Aguero over Costa

        1. MrPenguin11
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Aguero might not be getting too much playing time, but then again he does not need much to collect points

  15. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Caulker looks essential. Hatrick incoming, you heard it here first guys!

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      This wouldn't be the first time I heard it...

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Nah its been said by many dreamers already

    3. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      to be fair he has had good chances in both games to score.

  16. FPL Bargain
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Giroud & Mata > Aguero & Henderson now?

    1. FPL Bargain
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      -4pts

    2. wheato
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      No.

    3. pundit of punts
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      No.

  17. HUMZAH96
      11 years, 4 months ago

      WILDCARD.

      When do you plan on using it?

      1. FPL Bargain
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        April

        1. Tinchy Sneijder
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Two Weeks

      2. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Whenever.

      3. Podge
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Week 8

        1. FPL Bargain
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          is there a reason?

          1. Podge
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Fixtures go bad for ManU and good for Spurs and Arsenal

            1. FPL Bargain
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 4 months ago

              thanks

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        When I need to take a -12 just to keep pace with the pack.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Second international break probably

      5. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        When I have four or more red/orange flags. Shouldn't be too long.

    • Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Is FPL transfers (round) in/out working correctly?

      Seems like Siggy is very high

    • FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I think whoscored index should be used for assigning BP. This is good the way I see it. Lamela on 3 BP too

      King for leicester nailed on?

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Talk of him being sold

      2. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        nah

    • Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      So how do we think Eriksen will do at home to Liverpool?

      1. Kerz
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Pool defence shaky, Spurs in good scoring form. I'm sure he'll fare well

      2. Tinchy Sneijder
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Good, Liverpool couldn't defend an invisible man from a blind assassin

    • Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Any changes here gents?

      Krul (Foster)
      Terry, Clyne, Jones (Wisdom, Hutton)
      Mata, Siggy, Eriksen, Ramsey (Marney)
      Rooney, Dzeko, Costa

      1. Tinchy Sneijder
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Template team pretty much, so no

    • Tinchy Sneijder
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Rooney- Costa-Aguero after International break?

      Yay or Nay

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Nay

      2. laGan1n1
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Roo, Balo, Kun

    • Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Dzeko > Jovetic? Too knee-jerky or a shrewd move?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Only for a hit

        1. Kerz
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          I have 2 FT... No issues except for maybe Caulker who's worth keeping for 1 more week imo.

          Reckon I should switch Dzeko for Jove or not?

      2. Kip
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        good move imo

    • FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Best budget striker = Ings.

      You know it

    • Jimjam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      A) Bego & Kelly -> Courtois & Dummett (-8)
      B) Dzeko -> Jovetic (-4)

      Either worth it, or should I sit tight?

    • Feanor
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I laughed when Caulker missed that sitter against Spurs cause he was on my bench. But it actually might have stopped him from going down this week. I hah-hah'ed myself.

    • FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      So it is clear we need to sell Mata. The question is:

      Upgrade him to Hazard
      Level up with Sterling
      Downgrade him to Tadic, De Jong, other?

      1. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Why is it clear that we need to get rid?

      2. Don Andres
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Why? Injury?

      3. The Shadow
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Hazard if you can. Sterling if you can't swing the cost.

      4. wheato
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        It's folk like you why he's losing value.

        Keep.

      5. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Because of ADM, no longer a starter. Liability for 9m, no thanks

      6. cramps
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        since when was this clear? bur, QPR lei is a three game run that could only get better if all the games where at home

    • El capitaino
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I kinda love that 73 people have already sold Balotelli.

      1. RoyaleBlue
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        People on wild cards probably

      2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Does a wildcard sale count as a sale ?

    • bodsc
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Anyone eyeing up a Balo - Costa - Aguero front 3?

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Balo hasn't played yet so it's a fair bit premature.

      2. Tangogooner
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Yep but expensive
