We delve into the Gameweek 5 data this evening in our first members article of the week. Wayne Rooney’s new role for United comes under analysis, as do Burnley and Leicester’s displays up front, whilst a couple of north London-based frontmen are also placed under the microscope after their contrasting weekend performances.

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

    Team for GW6

    Forster

    Bertrand - Van A - Trippier

    Fabs - Sterlz - Siggy - Di Maria

    Ballo - Costa - Ulloa

    What you think lads?
    1.1 in bank but 0FT
    Anything need changing for a -4 hit?

    1. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Was thinking same - v similar. Gut says leave welbeck out til gw8 and save the 4 pts

  2. Guy Demel's SH

    11 years, 2 months ago

    Bias and optimism is tempting me towards siggy --> downing. Maybe in a few weeks...

    1. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Nope. Don't do that. Siggy will be back.

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        This

      2. Guy Demel's SH
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        GW 10 perhaps

  3. Demí
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Remember all that worrying in pre-season about Sigurdsson playing out wide?

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yes...

    2. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, Swansea's pre-season form didn't help things 🙂

      1. Demí
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Indeed. Much better with one upfront

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Indeed. Didnt help that Monk was talking up the 4-4-2 either!

        2. suddenorgan
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Routledge and Dyer are so much better in those roles rather than wingers in a 4-4-2, great on the counter

  4. Sky Blue Sun
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Want to do Terry>Baines in GW8. Any moves that are needed before then? Possibly Krul or Chester out? Could I get stung for not owning Di Maria?

    1FT £1m ITB

    Krul (Gilks)

    Naylor Terry Bertrand (Chester Moore)

    Sigurdsson Ramsey Fabregas Sterling (Marney)

    Costa Pelle Rooney

  5. Takedog1
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Ulloa or pelle?

    1. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Pelle imo

    2. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Pelle long term, Ulloa for rise & form

    3. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      both

  6. Balos boys
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Who will score more goals next gameweeks

    A) balo (great fixtures)
    B) falcao
    C) rooney

    Allready have balo

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. CunkOnFPL
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      C, more points

    3. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'm thinking Balo

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

    Current front line: costa pelle BALO

    Balo to:
    A welbeck
    B falcao
    C aguero (involving moreno to duff/chembers)
    B keep balo for the next two

    1. r0binh0
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'm in a similar boat. Would expect Balo to outscore both Welbeck and Falcao over the next two. C probably depends on whether you have other issues in your squad and therefore if the 2 transfers could be better used elsewhere.

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

          Thanks, didnt notice your other comment there... 🙂

          Welbeck is a must but after two gws... Not sure if I want him straight away.

          With the extra cash could get a che defender maybe

  8. r0binh0
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Squad in good shape, Evans the only problem. 2FTs.

    a) Evans -> Chambers/Van Aanholt and Balo->Agüero

    b) just Evans -> Chambers/PVA and sit on the 2.4m to get Baines in for GW8.

    1. CunkOnFPL
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      b with Balo > Kun

      1. r0binh0
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        so a) then? 🙂

        1. CunkOnFPL
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Evans out this GW, bring Kun next

  9. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    GW8 onwards, who becomes the priority?

    Baines or Aguero?

    1. Exilizer
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero obv.

    2. r0binh0
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      both!

    3. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Both babe

  10. Game of Stones
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Wow, Downing's stats looks good! http://www.squawka.com/comparison-matrix#premier_league/2014/2015/gylfi_sigurdsson/126/126/863/46/p|premier_league/2014/2015/cesc_fàbregas/126/126/306/0/p|premier_league/2014/2015/stewart_downing/126/126/78/49/p#assists/chances_created/key_passes/goals_scored/total_shots/successful_take_ons#total

    1. aaroneous
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Already picked him up! Hoping he runs Man U's D as ragged as Vardy did. West Ham have been pretty impressive in the offensive 3rd, which says a lot for a Big Sam team

  11. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Play Caulker, Duff or Moore?

    Krul
    Ivanovic / Clyne / Caulker
    Di María / Siggy / Fábregas / Ramsey / Sterling
    Costa (c) / Pellè (vc)

    Gilks / Naismith / Duff / Moore

    1. Reed_Rothchild
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Duff

    2. itz only game
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      i think duff

    3. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Duffy easily

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

      Cheers!

  12. itz only game

    lamela , pva , zaha . who to play this week ?

    1. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Lamela for the NLD

  13. Zasa
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Never done one of these, so I'll just go for it. This is for Gw8 btw, god forbid I lose more TV!

    RMWCT

    Mannone
    Baines | Clyne | Duff
    AdM | Fab | Sterling | Siggy
    Costa | Aguero | Welbeck

    Bench: McCarthy, Moore. Wisdom, Boyd

    1. itz only game
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      looks good

      1. Zasa
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers 🙂

    2. Reed_Rothchild
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Get Lukaku instead of Baines

      1. Zasa
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I like that actually, Chambers in then?

        1. cramps
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          i wouldn't. welbeck vs lukaku is a 50/50 shout. both have great fixtures, but welbeck is cheaper. baines vs chambers is a no brainer as baines is on pens and is almost guaranteed to get at least one over the course of those games.

  14. Gurra
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    What do you think?
    *Who to captain?
    *Any Transfer to do?
    *Lineup like this?

    Mannone

    Ivanovic --- Clyne --- Wisdom

    Hazard --- Sterling --- ADM --- Siggy

    Costa --- Rooney --- Naismith

    Subs: Krul, PVA, Dummet, JWP

    1. BlueIncognito
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard --> Fabregas
      Naismith --> Ulloa
      Captain Costa
      Good to go

      1. itz only game
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        id just do the naismith to ulloa if u can afford it

  15. BlueIncognito
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Wish I didn't have to WC so early on 🙁 Just screwed around making a new team and it's perfect but would cost me -28 to make lol

    1. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I think now is quite a good time. go for it.

      1. BlueIncognito
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        -28? I'd be crucified if I told everyone I actually did that

        1. turboLuck
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          If you're confident in the team you want and you land up hitting 80/90 points, then 80-28 is still not a bad score plus you have a great team? Depends on your confidence though 😉 Good luck.

  16. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Guys, I'm torn between saving my transfer and wildcarding! What do you reckon?

    Begovic
    Lovren Bertrand Duff
    Fabregas Ramsey siggy sterling
    Naismith Costa rooney
    Guzan Henderson cdavies Coloccini

    1. BlueIncognito
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Don't see any reason you'd need to WC

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Naismith to ulloa?
        Ramsey to adm?
        Siggy to herrera?

        1. aaroneous
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Naismith transfer is good but the rest aren't necessary. I'm a Spurs fan and worry Rambo will tear us apart the way we've been playing. Siggy was away to CHE and got screwed by Bony red. He'll be back

  17. seanie3
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    is my WC good to go

    Forster (McCarthy)
    Baines, Clyne, Chambers (Wisdom, Duff)
    Fabregas, Di Maria, Sterling, Siggy (Boyd)
    Costa, Rooney, Ulloa

    leave 0.7 in the bank

  18. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Which three to play out of these:

    Clyne, PVA, Naylor, Wisdom, Duff

    1. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Clyne, Duff, Naylor

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    C.Kouyate will be out for 6 weeks. He will probably miss 5 games and might be available for Aston Villa at home 8 nov. dg

      Has the game of his life against Liverpool and misses the game against United. Sound.

      So Downing will play DM now? I was planning to get him currently on WC

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Why will he be DM ?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Don't be an idiot. Poyet will come in.

        1. Demí
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          What position does Poyet play, is he attack or defence minded?

          1. Guy Demel's SH
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            More defensive than offensive.

            • 16 Years

      Massive blow

      1. Demí
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Don't know why Allardyce didn't sub him off when he was struggling, you don't mess with groin injuries.

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          He went down, got back up, and went back down again, Allardyce should have taken him off as soon as he went down the 2nd time

          1. 32chickens
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            by that stage weren't they out of subs?

            1. Guy Demel's SH
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              Yes. Should have taken him off first time. Easy with hindsight of course.

    6. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Oh that's a shocker...Wham looking so good but they really are a bit threadbare in depth..

    7. Guy Demel's SH
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Gutting. Time for Poyet to step up perhaps. Looked very classy pre season.

    8. Back on the horse

      who?

        come on ,son of the manager-qualitteeeee

    9. Guy Demel's SH

      Back in Nov earliest and then away in Jan for ACON 🙁

    10. 32chickens

      really sad -was looking forward to a bit of blowing bubbles

  20. conners88

    • 12 Years

    Aguero & Boyd > Ulloa & Di Maria for -4 pt hit?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero out for a hit, now I've seen it all!

      1. conners88
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        you've seen it all?

        Aguero currently is non-essnetial.....di maria is fast becoming essential.

        I am currently sat in top 45k

        1. cramps
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          if you ship aguero ahead of their run of fixtures you will soon be lower on the rankings. i would find a way to fit them both in if you consider di maria essential.

        2. cramps
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          and to ship aguer for a hit is madness

    2. itz only game

      🙁

  22. Mr Smith
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Those Siggy stats are a tad concerning 🙁

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'm wondering about this... Is he becoming worse?

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Doesn't get the full expression in the current line up.

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Not concerning at all imo. Away to Chelsea then a red card for his team the following fixture. Give him 2-3 more to deliver otherwise consider shifting.

    2. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Keep for the next two then reassess over the break.

    3. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Stats are deceiving when they're not interpreted correctly.

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

      What stats? He had 10 men and was unlucky not to assist...

      1. Mr Smith
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I assume you can't read the above article but the stats were based on the last 3 games not just the last game.

    5. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I could imagine a shift to 4 big mids and one big fwd (Costa) if it carries on.

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Eg

        4 of Di Maria, Cesc, Haz, Ramsey, Sterling, Sanchez

        Costa

        2 of Welbeck, Pelle, Ulloa, Naismith

          No way Ramsey, I'm holding Siggy for the next couple of decent fixtures but planning my exit to be replaced by Walcott.

      Swansea had 2 great chances in the game before the red card and he would of assisted both if the finishing was better

          Higher the number, better the fixture on his season ticker I think.

  28. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Have one free transfer, any of these sensible?

    A) Naismith to ulloa / vardy
    B) Ramsey to adm
    C) siggy to herrera

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      A and B both are

  29. zotter
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Advice please what to do:

    2 FTs. Nil in bank

    Begovic (Elliott)
    Moreno. Pva. Bertrand. (Moore. Hutton)
    Chadli. Hazard. Sterling. Di Maria. (Boyd)
    Aguero. Costa. Welbeck

    A. Moreno to someone
    B. Pva to Chanbers
    C. Hazard to Cesc
    D. Aguero to Falcao
    E. Use both FT for something. What?
    F. Just use FT on changing Elliott or Moore?!
    G. Let one FT go to waste?!

    1. Gargamel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Let it go to waste.

      It's the ultimate rock n roll move of fantasy premier league. Next to winning the whole thing it's the best thing you can do.

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Moreno to Clyne

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Not feeling a double up on saints defenders !

  30. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Which 2 of Moore (cpl), Naylor (sun) and Naismith (liv)?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Last 2

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      The latter 2

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Nnn ...

    4. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      So u think Moore can't keep another CS? Sunderland scored on their every home game (vs United and Tottenham,btw)

      1. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Leicester have the worst defensive stats in the league I believe.

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Still got faith in them. They kept CS vs Stoke away, and now it's Palace 😀

      2. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Less about that more about the fact that i;d never play a defender over a striker, the striker has far more upside, so for me it's Naylor v Moore

        I'd pick Naylor for that one
