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

    I think I MIGHT take a hit to do Begovic + Chambers > Krul + Colo this week..Begovic surely won't get more than 1 or 2 points vs City and with the rest of my defense being Azpi, Kolarov, Hutton and Baird it's possible I can't even field 3 defenders if Chambers doesn't play!

    would be a -4 that really just needs to score 4 or 5 points between the pair to be worth it

    also looking at PvA instead of Colo but I could see QPR scoring so would be relying on attacking input

      always funny when I get top spot without counting posts 😆

      Double Toon D is a trail to tears.

        yeah technically given the points the way I laid them out, it doesn't matter if Sunderland concede given the points I think that Chambers and Begovic will inevitably contribute

      Id go for it.id prefer pva tho.im not a huge fan of double defence.x

        11 years, 4 months ago

        I'm not as well which is why I'm hesitant, but still it doesn't change the fact about the points so it really doesn't affect the plan if Sunderland is playing QPR

      I would always look at how long you are keeping the new players as they don't need to make up the four points in one game although it is a bonus! I would definitely take a hit as the transfers look good for the next six at least. Both have decent fixtures so a close call but maybe hedge your bets with Sun as PvA looks more attacking.

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        agreed, nice to have some confirmation because I typically don't like taking hits involving def/keeps, not to mention a hit that involves only them!

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

          No worries, yeah sure many would shoot me down but think it will pay off over the next six. I am looking at the same keeper transfer as the cash will come in handy!

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            yeah will have 1.4m in the bank! and then even more when I do Yaya > Di Maria..should make getting Kun in very easy when I want to

        2. JT's Dog
            11 years, 4 months ago

            Why do you not think you will have three defenders
            Hutton azpi and good chance kolarov will play
            If you just do chambers to collo to give you guarantee of three then you could pull in 4-8 points plus 4 from saved hit

            And stop copying my name 😉

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

              I'm fairly confident that both Azpi and Kola will start, both being at home and Azpi being on good form, but it's just that lingering doubt

              and youuuu stop, I did it first 😛

      2. Bubz
        • 12 Years

        I'm doing Bego + Chambers to Krul + Naylor

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

          Swansea do have nice fixtures, but Stamford Bridge is looming and Hutton has Anfield that day, perhaps I'll bring in Naylor later on for Baird

            stick with Dzeko unless he's injured, probably sort out Chambers..rest looks fine, save a FT if you can for the international break

      2. La Roja
        • 13 Years

        Dzeko to Jove

            None of us are clear on the Stoke defensive situation. Wouldn't go there personally just yet. Wait and see who manages to nail down a place.

          Palace: Hennessey, Mariappa, McCarthy, Delaney, Binnom-WIlliams, Williams, Guedioura, Bannan, Thomas, Murray, Gayle.

          Subs: Kettings, Hangeland, Boateng, Kaikai, Garvan, Puncheon, Gray.

              Seems like Palace are the least popular fantasy team.

          Does anyone know what is up with TFPL and the price changes? Seems to be all over the place with % and Fiso seems to be totally crocked.

          A two parter for you guys

          What to do you think is more important CS points for your Defenders and Goalkeepers

          or

          Goal and Assist points for your Midfielders and Forwards

          and is okay for 1GW only to sacrifice a potential low points tally from your Defenders to get a high points tally from your Attackers

          Any ideas would be welcomed

          TIA

          1. HUMZAH96
              11 years, 4 months ago

              Goals are more important BUT that doesn't mean you should go for 3 premium strikers and leave you defence full of 4.5 players, there is a balance.

              And no, don't sacrifice defence

            • edgardavids
              • 13 Years

              Since last year a CS will also mean Baps for the defender

            2FTs this week

            DDG/Gilks
            Cahill-Dummett-VaAn-Caulker-Debuchy
            Arnie-Eriksen-Mata-Ramsey-Sig
            Rooney-Bojan-Costa

            Over the long run, I probably need to find replacements for Caulker, Arnautovic and Bojan, Debuchy and maybe Eriksen and DDG. What do you guys think?

            In the terrible place of wanting United to win, just to prevent additional matches at Stadium MK. My job really stretches my loyalties sometimes.

              Why don't you just not go to further cup matches if you're that strongly opposed? Better than your team losing, surely?

              11 years, 4 months ago

              I'm a newbie to this level of fantasy chat, any hints about my team? This week I'm going for

              Guzan (Hamer)
              Terry, Skrtel, Davies (Lovren, Wisdom)
              Siggy, Ramsey, Fabregas, Sterling (A. Young)
              Costa, Jovetic Zarate

              My transfers are basically getting rid of Giroud, Fletcher & Sanchez

              1. Ginkapo FPL
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 4 months ago

                Are you sure about Jovetic and Zarate? Both could just be flash in the pans. That said Jovetic could go either way.

                1. monkfish102
                  • 11 Years
                  11 years, 4 months ago

                  I just remember Zarate in a rubbish Birmingham team a few years back scoring 9 in 17 (or something) as they got relegated.

                  I think he'll play a lot at West Ham, and get assists if not shed load of goals

                • 14 Years
                11 years, 4 months ago

                Quite like the punt on Zarate actually.

                Decent.

                Get Young out too asap

                1. Ginkapo FPL
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 4 months ago

                  Young not out for a hit surely? I always think its best to leave your subs alone unless absolutely forced. A transfer on someone who isnt playing anyway always seems a waste.

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

                    not immediately, just asap

                You've really hit the big time coming here 😉
                3 thoughts:
                1. I think Skrtel will disappoint.
                2. You have to play one of Young or Zarate.
                3. You don't want to leave Lovren on the bench.

                Suggest you downgrade Skrtel to a 4.0 to upgrade one of those attacking players. Then play Lovren.

                1. monkfish102
                  • 11 Years
                  11 years, 4 months ago

                  Why Skrtel and not Lovren? Just price? I had a look at 4 mil defenders and apart from Wisdom no-one took my fancy.

                  I'm riddled with indecision of forwards. Costa may be a lump but he'll play every week and should score a few. Balotelli? Rooney? Sturridge? RVP? Aguero?

                  I ideally want a good mid-ranger to put in alongside Costa

                          Nobody has answered as none of us know who is nailed on for the Stoke defence bar Begovic. Not sure why you are desperate to bring one in most want to jump ship! Surely worth waiting a few weeks until the dust settles.

                              Thanks for the reply, I have no other option but Stoke (it's complicated but I have a plan)

                              I need to get rid of Cameron as he's not starting, but only have 4.9 to replace him with, as Cameron went down in price.

                              If I had that 0.1 I could have got Peiters or Bardsley but no...

                                  Because LVG doesn't rate any of our other keepers and rightly so.

                            I feel sorry for Kagawa and Hernandez. Great players.

                            Kagawa must be think where did it all go wrong.

                            Playing with that lot vs MK Dons 😕

                            de Gea
                            M.Keane, Evans, Vermijl
                            Janko, Powell, Anderson, James
                            Kagawa
                            Hernandez, Welbeck

                            Or it could be back four with Vermijl RB, Janko RM.

                            Nice to see Pereira on the bench but why isn't Pearson involved? I'd like to see him in the first team, FFS.

                            1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
                              • 11 Years
                              11 years, 4 months ago

                              Same. Wanted Wilson & particularly Pearson to play. Looked brilliant every time I've seen him.

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

                                Wilson's been injured. Problem is LVG is relying on Giggs ATM to fill him in on our youngsters. That fills me with no confidence whatsoever.

                                If Powell impresses he may well make the bench at the weekend.

                                1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
                                  • 11 Years
                                  11 years, 4 months ago

                                  Tbh, it's a much more senior team than I expected. I thought we'd see a bigger splattering of youngsters in there...

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

                                    Getting Evans fit for the weekend. Giving Kagawa and Welbeck a look with a view to using them at the weekend.

                                    1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
                                      • 11 Years
                                      11 years, 4 months ago

                                      Agree on Evans & Welbeck. Kagawa's destined for a return to the bench, and Anderson being there is a waste of time.

                          expect him to be playing at right wing back only 18 built like a brick shithouse

                          saw him a couple of times for the u21's and really stood out

                          I have Caulker, Mutch and Bojan in my team, seemingly they are all dropping in price tonight. Should i give a hoot?

                          What shall I do with Ash Young? Di Maria going to take his place?

                          Anyone going with Naismith as an every week starter or rotation with a cheap 5th mid until he stops scoring.... or is the upcoming return of Kone and potential signing of Eto'o too concerning?

                            Naismith is playing well, Martinez will keep playing him IMO.
