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

    A) Forster/Hamer
    B) Heaton/Mannone

    Thinking of Tadic + Ade to ADM + Ulloa.
    Allows me to do Ivanovic to Chambers and Ballotelli to Aguero. Hm.

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      If you're going that route I'd go Ade>Welbz & Balo>Aguero this week and then Iva>Chambers & Tadic>AdM next week.

      1. Davido989

        Can't do those moves first. ££

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years

          Reverse order? 😀

            • 15 Years

            My brain is hurting from these solutions

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

      don't take out Tadic this week because they're playing QPR

  3. st4rt__
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Costa, Pelle or Ulloa captain for this week? Incredibly difficult...

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

      Costa / Pelle really....

      Pelle is the differential

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

      I've got the same toss up too. However I have eliminated it between Pelle and Costa. If Costa is looking likely to get 70+ minutes it's costa captain. If it looks like he won't then its pelle captain.

      1. st4rt__
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Costa's bound to get at least 70 minutes, it'll be Remy mid-week I imagine and Costa will get a rest before Villa, I'll probably flip a coin haha

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

          yeah, I really want to do Pelle (c) but Ill probably just end up going with the safe option

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

      Costa no doubt.

  4. Clam. ☘️
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Naismith --> Ulloa worth it for a -4 hit?

    1. Wells - Anti-Dentite!
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yep.

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

      Not for me.

      1. Clam. ☘️
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Why not? I'd imagine he'll score more than Naismith over the next two GW at least.

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

          Naismith could score against useless Liverpool defence. Can do it for free after.

    3. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No way. Do it for free next week, Naismith has a good fixture coming up.

    Hi all..

    What cheap mid(s) are looking like the best idea at this current time looking at form and fixtures...
    I need to sell either Ramsey or Lamela to a cheaper mid to fund better strikers...
    Surely I sell Lamela over Ramsey?? I also have Welbz

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Lamela to Chadli?

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

        not chadli

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

        thought about him but Spurs dont fill me with confidence

    2. Patty

      How much ITB?

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

        0.1

        Im looking at Rooney & Lovren ---> Costa & Bertrand (free)
        or
        Rooney, Diouf & Lamela --> Costa, Pelle & Chadli/ anyone cheap mid

        1. Patty

            ill post below which is easier

  6. Davido989
    • 15 Years

    A) Chambers ADM Ulloa Aguero.
    B) Ivanovic ADM Pelle Ade.

    What's the scouting report on Vardy? Flash in the pan or someone to put on the watchlist?

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 15 Years

      He's probably the third striker you'd want from Leicester sooo.... 😉

        The league I'm in Ulloa and Nugent are not available.

          what do you mean not available

            It's a draft league. Those players are on other teams. I cannot get them.

            1. Patty
              • 11 Years

              ok that's a cool concept, how do you join one of those?

                • 14 Years
                11 years, 2 months ago

                Some of my mates got together and organized one through Google Docs. We Skyped for the draft. We're using FPL scoring system.

                  In the same boat. I dont think Vardy is the way to go though.

                  Ha, same over here. Contemplating dropping Bony for Vardy. From the highlights he certainly looks the real deal. At the heart of everything good for LEI that game. Still, gonna give him another game to see if he's the real deal. 3 away in the next 4, too

    2. Patty

      Not a fan of Downing as 4th mid.

      1. Evans

        Who s scored more points ? Hazard or downing ?

        1. The Machine
          • 12 Years

            Dow

      2. John Nerdelbaum
        • 13 Years

        Difficult to squeeze much more out of that 4th spot. Anyone take your fancy instead?

      Dyer

    2. Evans

      Downing

    3. John Nerdelbaum

    On trend
    ADM , Ulloa

    2. The Machine

      I like their fixtures. He'll get something

      Routledge missed a one on one this weeked (kind of). Would have been a siggy assist

        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        EVS ive NEVER played my WC early in a season ever and been top 10k for 5 years..

        Im now 700k which is scary but I do think its worth keeping for those cancelled games in winter?

        1. The Machine
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Id go A bug saving wildcard for those games is not a good idea. There probably aren't many cancelled games anyway. Just a few dgws coz of the fa cup

    2. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      A is solid

    3. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Ive gone from strongly thinking of doing A tonight as it leaves 0.0 to thinking Ill do B instead as it setsme better long term... Chadli tho, is there a better option and is it Ramsey or Lamela..

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

        Jesus I have had a look at the WC

        Forster // McCarthy
        Bertrand // Naylor // Wilson // Moore // Chambers
        Fabregas // Sterling // Di Maria // Krankjar // Boyd
        Costa // Aguero // Pelle

        Tempting????

    Where can I improve my wildcard team?

    Heaton, Mannone
    Kaboul, Chambers, Pieters, Bertrand, N Taylor
    Fabregas, Sterling, Di Maria, Sigurdsson, Matic
    Costa, Rooney, Welbeck

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Matic is quite expensive if he's gonna be sub most games.

      In two minds about Rooney

      1. Beans on Toast
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        not sure about Rooney either. I'm 0.1 short to do Rooney, Matic and Pieters to Aguero, Cork Wilson.

        1. John Nerdelbaum
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          What about Kun, Cork/Boyd and Duff/Wisdom

          1. Beans on Toast
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Defence rotates pretty well. Good enough for the forward upgrades.

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

      Ive just contemplated a WC and you need some Aguero over Rooney in there

      1. Beans on Toast
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yeh, could do Matic to Cork, Pieters to Wilson (is he nailed?), but need 0.1 more. Maybe Kaboul to a 4.9.

  19. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    those looking at Baines in for GW8, presumably for many of you it means a Chelsea defender out (like Ivan), does that mean that you're going without Chelsea defense altogether?

    while in theory it looks fine as they're a bit all over the place, they are still Chelsea and will eventually shore up, no?

    1. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      If I remember correctly, we started shaky in defence last season, I'm almost certain Filipe Luis will come in for Ivanovic on a perm sooner or later.

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

        fantastic value when he does, i would think at Azpi/s expense though

  20. Rafinho
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    My current team:

    Krul - Guzan
    Ivan - Moreno - PvA - Hutton - Moore
    Di Maria - Sterling - Tadic - Siggy - Boyd
    Aguero - Costa - Welbeck
    0,2 ITB
    2FTs

    I feel that I need some Southampton's defence coverage, and with their fbs going forward a lot Bertrand is very tempting to me.
    Tadic is frustrating mi a lot, should I give him one more chance vs QPR or get rid of him now?
    Would like to have Fabs and Pelle in my team, I can't find a space for Pelle with my current forward line though.
    I don't like my current GKs too (Krul especially).

    What would you recommend for me? Currently set on Ivan & Tadic -> Fabs & Bertrand
    Cheers

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 12 Years

      No way. Keep Ivan and tadic this week
      Moreno > Bertrand

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

        I like Moreno's attacking potential though 🙁 and Lpool's fixtures of course.
        thanks for response, I will keep Tadic for this week

        1. BlzE_94
          • 11 Years

          I'm keeping moreno too but on the bench this week

  21. Hits Magnet
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I'd love to get Pelle in for the next few weeks but who do I drop from Costa/Falco/Welbeck?

    I've got DiMaro but no other Chelsea or Arsenal coverI, so is DM enough Utd cover ???? No choice really (since Tadic doesn't seem to be transfering his stats into points)

    So Falco or Pelle?

    quick question folks, got both already but unsure which one to play this weekend, leanisng towards Baines myself. Would you go with

    a). Baines

    b) Lovren

    Thanks

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Bench lovren. Likely to be goals for both teams so if revert to attacking potential

      Plus never bench baines 🙂

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

    I'm brainstorming for GW8 already and I need a bit of help...

    The strongest XI I would field for that week would be -

    Begovic (McCarthy)
    Clyne - Reid - Taylor (Pieters & PVA)
    Siggy - Cesc - Sterling - ADM (Zaha)
    Costa - Ulloa - Pelle

    Obviously a problem with the Stoke/Swansea fixture so I was thinking - Forster for Begovic & Taylor for Baines (FT and -4 hit)

    Opinions?

    for mirallas owners leave him for one more game since he is a rotational risk?.

    1. Mílanista

      I wouldn't be worried about rotation for him this GW, longer term its an issue.

    Wisdom or Chambers this GW?

  30. bodsc
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Heaton/Mannone
    Clyne - ShawX - PVA - Duff - Wisdom
    Fabregas - ADM - Sterling - Siggy - Boyd
    Welbz - Aguero - Costa

    Is a really tempting WC.

      What's your current team? That's the template WC which is not a bad thing either.
