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.
Hey Lads.
Quick poll, if you were on WC would you have Hazard or Fab?
I squizzed my WC after a poor week in sheer frustration.
here's my team:
Forster Gilks
Baines Clyne Taylor Duff Moore
ADM Hazard Sterling Siggy Boyd
Costa Pelle Wellbeck
2.7M ITB (For Pelle to Lukaka in a few weeks time)
Thoughts?
Id invest that 2.7 because who knows what will happen in a couple weeks time Lukaku might get injured or another option might emerge
Invest it where? Defence, Mid? Upgrade Boyd but I might not play that 5th spot mid....
Naismith --> Pelle for a hit, worth it?
Yes
U should have done it already u missed the price changes! Prob still worth it though!
Willing and want to sell Adebayor for a hit.
A) Welbeck (have Ramsey)
B) Pelle
C) Ulloa
D) Lukaka
Pelle or Ulloa if you have a good use for the money
B
Just done Ade to Pella for -4 for a friend, gotta believe hes gonna score vs QPR even tho Ade normally scores vs Arsenal.....
Just see more goals for Southampton and maybe a goal and assist this week, without even thinking about the next 2 weeks
A
would you then sell Ramsey to Hazard for an additional -4?
Wait and see
Thinking of doing Caulker + Krul OUT and Bertrand + Heaton IN with my 2 FTs. Sound moves? Team is linked
Might rather go Forster and Duff
I thought about this but think Bertrand's additional attacking threat over Duff edged it. On the other hand, I could perhaps use the additional funds...
Up to you, either choice looks a good move
Cheers
Fantastic start to the year for you, well done.
Sound moves, but I might prefer to go with Mannone, playing Foster this week. Tough call.
Bertrand in seems smart though, nice little double up.Thanks! Appreciated 🙂
Don't think I want to double up Sunderland defence and Burnley seem good for a few cleanies so would like a piece of that in my teamI'd still play Foster this week though but figure I make the move now while I have the luxury of a second FT
Ah, you do have PvA, whoops.
I might also be tempted to go Forster/Shackell. I know that's more expensive, but both are great options imo.Hrm I might just consider that. Cheers
A) Krul -> Forster
B) Rooney/Wood -> Pelle/Welbeck, -4 (benching Henderson)
Too early to sell Rooney so I'd go A
B, goalkeeper always 2nd priority
Who to play in defence this week?
Duff - Azpili - Clyne - NTaylor - Wisdom
Thinking Duff - Azpili - Clyne
But WBA to keep out Burnley at home may be a good shout?
Sorry for reposting:
De Gea
Ivanovic Duff Clyne (Wisdom Bruce)
Sterling Hazard Ramsey Siggy (Elmohamady)
Costa Rooney Naismith
1FT / 1.5M ITB
Want to get Pelle in instead of Naismith for a 4pts hit.
Who should I downgrade? I really want to keep Hazard in...If you're feeling brave you could drop Ramsey for a few weeks and hope he blanks? I hear he might be playing deeper so could affect his output
Who would you take instead?
8.1M max
Mirallas or Tadic?
All this for a hit, yay or nay?
Rooney --> Aguero
Adebayor --> Lukaku
Coleman --> ChambersAnyone else only planning on adm for the nice fixtures? When it stiffens up he's a gonner. Can't wait for Walcott.
Think he'll be fixture proof
I can see his fpl returns mirroring ozil like last season.
Not a chance. I feel he feels like he's got a point to prove this season. Expecting big things. Season keeper
Too early to say really.
I think you're forgetting that he's Di Maria, will probably be the man that scores in tough fixtures
He's looked super dangerous. His speed and skill. He's my United cover.
Nah, when he arrived i doubted him, i was well wrong, hes the real cheese and onion mccoy
Ok thanks for thoughts, he has looked good granted.
Give it another 2 weeks later then he's out for the season again. Perennial sick note.
Ramsey Fab Sterling Siggy
Pelle Costa Roo
0 FT
take a hit to do Ramsey->ADM ?
or next GW for free?Dont take a hit
No hit. And I love ADM, and Ramsey. I got rid of Ramsey two weeks ago for ADM though. See what the weekend brings.
Next week. Or at least keep it in mind for next week, depends on circumstances an' that. And your back 4
Just planning ahead with my transfers, what will I be looking to do over the next couple weeks?
Transfers this week done, just need to decide on Fab/ADM. Will I be needing the extra £0.4m that comes with Fab?
Bego
Terry Clyne Lovren
Sterling Siggy Ramsey Fabregas/ADM
Costa Rooney Ulloa
Bench - Duff, Marney ChambersADM for United cover. You have some Chelsea love on your team already.
Alright fair enough. Who would I be looking to replace next week then? I'd have 100k in the bank so not much to play with...
See what Rooney does, his new role in the hole might slow his point production down. In that case address that. Midfield looks good. I think Lovren is your other problem. Chelsea D isn't cashing in yet, I think they'll tighten up soon though.
I guess downgrade Terry, maybe double up on Soton with Bertrand? Their fixtures still good for 6-7 weeks
Dont think you will need that cash, if required, you have Rooney who can be downgraded 🙂
What about if I wanna upgrade him to Falcao 😛
Then you have expensive defenders to downgrade 😎
Mannone or Heaton?
Mannone
Tough but would probably go Heaton
Mannone
Thanks all! Mannone likely to continue atleast till Jan?
Probably i guess, who knows really
This site is less good without forca and unreal, who the fk complains about what people say in an open forum
Mods!
They practically begged me to become a mod, or at least help with their teams
I declined 😎Metaphorically speaking
+millions
I do wish controversial characters weren't banned. They are very amusing!
Was a nasty attack on poor muppet, did they remove?
Apparently. Baffles me.
Moving on...
Might as well get rid of the T/C's as well.
Well ive not read them but yeah probably some of hem
Play Naylor or Duff this week?
Duff imo.
Defence
Adm, siggy, sterling, fab
Costa(c), welbeck, xxxxxx
Its alrdeady so obvious!Unfortunately...
Whos your other striker of choice then?
Bench two:
Duff Clyne Wilson PvA NaylorWilson, Taylor
Thanks 🙂
Acqua, what moves you make this week?
Di maria ulloa
This
Need a defender around the 4.5 /5mark. Have Moreno, Naylor, Clyne, Hutton
A, Burnley defender
B, Double up with Bertrand
C, Something elseA
Van Aanholt or Shackell 🙂
Duff
Chambers!
Yep, good shout. Wish he wasn't on 3 yellows
Tottenham must really be missing scott parker these days, bad sale
Wisdom v Moore without price difference being a factor?
Moore imo given the great fixtures coming up
I suppose what u should do is look at the fixtures of your other defs, then see who has better games whem youre likely to play them, wba or Leicester
Hey guys,
I would appreciate some up votes on my Scout Picks please!
If you have any suggestions on any improvements I could make if I become the community champion, then let me know!
Thanks!
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/8364752already voted! 🙂

I voted for you mate...
Cheers bud!
Ive not voted before but i like you sarjeant, im gunna vote for u then look at the team
Haha! Cheers mate!
Why'd you like me anyway? 🙂do you want me to tell u why i like you
I'm curious.
Well, most of the posters here that i recognise irritate me, you dont, and you always seem friendly
Which to choose?
A) Rooney
B) Aguerro
C)Pelle
Have Costa and Welbeck
Thanks!B
C
Hi, help please
Who would you bench in this front eight:
A. Diego Costa
B. Pelle
C. Welbeck
D. Siggy
E. Ramsey
F. Di Maria
G. Fabregas
H. Sterling
ThanksD
Are you sure? Siggy controls the attack engine rooms and he plays Sunderland next, the team will be smarting from their loss to SOU and ready to explode!
I refuse to answer on the basis u have all those players
You can then imagine the dilemma I have in DEFENCE, have benched Duff every GAMEWEEK. Horrendous!
Pelle to kun, rambo to boyd
Your teams crap if you have to bench 1 of those each week.
Haha
why do you have all of them? might as well downgrade someone...
Yeah, who do you suggest I downgrade..... With tears in ma eyes of course
Sigurdsson is what logic suggests, considering you'd be inclined to bench him most weeks with that front 8 🙂
Ramsey -> Sterling for a - 4
Yes or NoNo
Nope
no
no
No.
No
De Gea
Ivanovic Duff Clyne (Wisdom Bruce)
Sterling Hazard Ramsey Siggy (Elmohamady)
Costa Rooney Naismith
1FT / 1.5M ITB
A - Ramsey + Naismith to ADM + Ulloa 4pts hit
B - Ramsey + Naismith to Mirallas/Tadic/Lamela + Pelle 4pts hit
C - Ivanovic + Naismith to 6.2 max + Pelle
D - Any other suggestion?Naismith ---> Ulloa?
Yes that's another possibility, but I would like Pelle in this week actually... A is crap then..
Yep, shoulda been able to think of that yourself freemlan
Should I captain Kun or Costa?
Costa as of now
Costa.
Costa
Ramsey to Di Maria worth a hit?
Tempted but not sure.*Repost alert!* 😛
Nope.Noob
Don't think so.
no
no way
Of course its not, i mean it might be but fk taking rambo out for a hit unless hes lost a limb

- Dead team challenge
::::: Dead Team Challenge - GW5 Leaderboard Updated :::::
Before I begin, just to let you know that a mistake was made last week which has since been corrected, so apologies to The Casual for that...
Also we've added a green & red (& the ever elusive grey) arrow feature to allow people to track their weekly progress up and down the leaderboard table... and there is also a new 'week by week ranking' tab as well...
So...
Congratulations to our current leader, Hymie who is on an impressive 310pts, which equates to an amazing Overall Rank of 4.6k...
Highest scorers in the GW were GreenWindMill & RonMadPirlo, both with a cool 60pts (honourable mention to PorkPieSausageRoll on 59pts)... which would have given them a weekly rank of about 77k...
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1raAyvT8NYalwe4_-1EqJZBOOcbwjmixKpFu18ySKGVQ/edit#gid=1705963376
You can also click on the 'teams' tab and scroll through to check your team individually... the teams are listed alphabetically so that should make it easier to navigate...
Thanks...Zep youre such a post counter
Guilty... 😉
Only do it for worthwhile posts...
Don't want this one to be lost at the arse end of a page...Although if they delete anymore comments, it will be...
Looks like a great effort on your part, wish i was involved!
Next year mate...
Awesome stuff Zep. Looking forward to later in the season when my Hazard (C) starts to come off for me.
brilliant effort Zep! 🙂
big green arrow up to 219th 😎
If there are any other features anyone wants then let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks Zep for coordinating this!
Hope to stay within the top 50 😀
Cheers Zep (and Billy), great work once again.
I am wondering how my team looks. I forgot which players I picked xD
Ah..found it 🙂 Poor Giroud 🙁
Finally i have more points than my dead team... 318 vs. 297... 😀
