Our first members article of the week delves into the data of the nine matches played out so far. A number of forwards come under assessment this evening, with Liverpool, United and West Ham’s new frontmen all analysed, whilst we also take a look at City’s resurgent Bosnian, Chelsea’s midfield and Swansea’s worrying lack of impact in the final third.

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

    Thanks for nothing Duff.

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Literally. 😀

    1. Screaming Midget
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I never expected us to keep a CS - we won't get one vs Leicester either, so bench him.

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Will do, I'll be playing Moore so hopefully your lot fail to score again (sorry!)

    2. Coaly
      • 13 Years

      yeah feck off duff

      naylor and wilson on the bench is painful

    3. applebonkers

      cheapest player in the entire game (at least originally). chillll

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Is 1 point too much to ask for? 😆

    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Begovic
    Ivanovic • Bertrand • Moreno
    Sterling(c) • Sigs • Di María • Hazard
    Rooney • Costa • Vardy

    A) Rooney -> Pelle (free)

    B) Rooney + Hazard -> Aguero(c) + Tadic (-4)

    1. joe259
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Option A

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      B

      1. colin1981
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        definitely A

    3. bennyp
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      B. You have Costa for chelsea cover + you need Aguero + Pelle is in form

  2. joe259
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    This is my team when Walcott will be ready

    De Gea
    Terry, Chambers, Clyne
    Walcott, Sterling, Siggy, ADM, Fabregas
    Costa, Pelle

    Hamer, Taylor, Duff, Weimann

    Pls RMT

    1. joe259
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      worried about lack of city cover

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

        Get Mangala, he did brilliantly for me this weekend.

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

    I wonder how far the Ozil and Di Maria comparisons will run...

    Club record signing near the end of the window, hailed as a new hope for their team. Absolute assist machine and key player for Real Madrid, but not the greatest goalscoring record.

    Premium FPL price, followed by good performances and points hauls in their first couple of games in the league, prompting a major bandwagon.

    Is ADM likely to tail off in the same way?

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      There's a lot to be said for sideways passes to Ronaldo, before he does something crazy. 'Assist'. 😉

    1. joe259
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      ADM will be like Michu in his first year with swansea

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

        Playing as a centre forward?

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

      Hope not. He is a considerably better player.

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

    No clean sheets so far but QPR bur to come. Thinking W.Ham Def for 2 weeks.

    Good idea?

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I think so.

  5. Screaming Midget
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Noticed quite a lot of people expecting Walcott to shit points the second he's back. Surely, Wenger will do his 30-60-90 that he's done in the past? That's at least 3 games after he's actually passed fit.

    1. joe259
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      seriously? i was going to get walcott

    2. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      he won't become a proper first teamer until at least the november break (GW 12)

      ANYONE BASING THEIR TRANSFERS ON HIS RETURN IS MAKING AN ERROR

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

      Still he's a monster. I'm throwing a welcome back party as soon as he's back in full training!

    4. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      just thinking the same thing

    5. roscola
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Spectacular turn of phrase there 😀

      (Good point too)

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

      people acting like he's coming back from a hamstring strain, rather than a career threatening injury for a pace player. why the rush, wait and see how he looks

  6. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    anyone else leave PVA on the bench this week? urgh #why did I play Duff

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Played Duff over Naylor myself.

    2. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Naylor & PVA here... Sigh... My (bad) 'luck' this season

  7. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Just looking at some teams with an extreme turn of fixture difficulty after the international break

    Arsenal
    Leiscter
    West Brom
    Man United
    Everton
    Swansea(when we go deeper)
    Tottenham

    GW 8 really does look like an ideal time to WC

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        haha wildcard wildcard

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Nope! 👿 Decided. Ain't broke.

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I see what you mean on swansea. Might a good idea to cash in on siggurdson around then.

      Everton Baines is the man if everton remember how to keep clean sheets

      Leicster Vardy, Ulloa, Moore, schmeichel

      Arsenal god knows which midfielder to pick but at least chambers is cheap.

      Tottenham the usual array of attacking potential in the middle - vertonghen might be a good shout at the back though

      West Brom who cares? 🙂

  8. White Hart Kane
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Best mid to bring in for 7.4 or less? Can't quite afford tadic

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Mane.

  9. joe259
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    is silva worth it?

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      i don't think so

    2. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He will get points, thing is when he's in your team he's never that satisfying and for one reason or another u soon want to get rid. He doesn't do a lot wrong I guess it's because he's comsistant rather then explosive.

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Would love him in a dead team challenge but just an uninspiring pick imo.

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

      his minutes are very re-assuring so that's nice as opposed to aguero and dzeko. it's just that goal threat issue, same as ever really. never scared of not owning him really, so on that basis probably more no than yes

    5. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He is ideal for the ultimate fpl game always creating chances in fpl he is the one you might captain but never do.

  10. joe259
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Sorry for the repost
    This is my team when Walcott will be ready

    De Gea
    Terry, Chambers, Clyne
    Walcott, Sterling, Siggy, ADM, Fabregas
    Costa, Pelle

    Hamer, Taylor, Duff, Weimann

    Pls RMT
    Worried about lack of City cover. Suggestions?
    In the bank: 0.5

    1. joe259
      • 13 Years

      De gea>Howard?

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

    Tough one, any advice greatly appreciated. Got to get Rooney out but I have 3 Soton with JWP, do I:
    A: Do Rooney to Ulloa this week given Soton are away and then do JWP to Tadic next week
    B: Do Rooney to Pelle and JWP to another mid (budget 8.7) for a hit
    Thanks in advance!

  12. The Machine
    • 12 Years

    would be interesting if both pelle and costa reach 5 yellow same weekend

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Bench Costa and sell Pelle would be the norm.

  13. Optimus.
    • 14 Years

    That Falcao number 😆

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years

      My Captain, this week and next 😯

    2. MJ6987

      Comes into my reckoning now

    3. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Eh?

    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Concerned Aguero's good fixtures coming up all come after CL games..... 😕

    Roma (h)
    Villa (a)
    Spurs (h)
    CSKA (a)
    West Ham (a)
    N'castle (cup)
    United (h)
    CSKA (h)
    QPR (a)

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

      I think that's better than the other way round - being rested the weekend before is a bigger worry than being tired the weekend after.

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Fair point. 🙂

    2. joe259
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      but is he worth it?
      any other man city player?

  14. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Time to use my WC?

    DDG/Gilks
    Cahill/Duff/Dummet/Clyne/Chester
    Siggy/Ramsey/Sterling/ADM/Marney
    Pelle/Rooney/Costa

    0.0itb

    Bad keeper. Only 3 nailed defenders with Cahill's value rapidly dropping. Ramsey And Rooney out. Not sure what to do from here, bad fixtures for my three nailed defenders as well (Arsenal, Leicester and Spurs) Marney also injured just to rub salt in the wounds 🙁
    Rooney is also about to drop and I don't like making my transfer early to get in Aguero before UCL fixtures

  15. Ludo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    More people own Gareth Barry than Dusan Tadic.

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Wow

      Some serious casuals playing this game.

      1. You Must Be Jokin Ere
        • 13 Years

        I know someone who plays 4 4 2 with proper right backs left backs etc...........

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Does he have Matic & Henderson in midfield?

    2. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      😯

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years

      Barry>Tadic 😛

  16. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Which is the preferred transfer for this GW?
    A. Dier >>> Bertrand
    B. Chester >>> Wilson
    C. Chester >>> Moore
    D. JWP >>> Dorrans
    E. JWP >>> Boyd
    F. Dier & JWP >>> Moore & Chadli (-4pts)
    G. Dier & JWP >>> Taylor & Downing (-4pts)

  17. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    if you had this front 7, you'd just get a cheapie mid right?

    Ramsey, Siggy, ADM, Sterling, Chadli

    Costa, Kun, Welbeck

    1. Screaming Midget
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      That's a front 8.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        well, you get my point

        need to get a cheapie in for Rambo, right

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yep. Unnecessary, and headaches every week.

    2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      thats 8

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        yes, I know 😳

        1. Screaming Midget
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          😀

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

      For Ramsey I suppose? Yep.

    4. tm245
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Quite a luxury to have that problem. Might want to save the transfer even if it costs you 0.1m?

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        well I've not got Kun atm, gonna get him for Rooney so saving not an option

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          So then no hit to ship Ramsey as you don't need that spot in gw7, imo.

    5. The class of 92
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    you may want to think twice about falcao 😆

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Mata for Rooney will be better for Falcao I reckon

    2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      why?

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Look above

  19. El Libe
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsey--->Ozil/Fab/Silva or just play Downing against Qpr?

  20. Jimbo123
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    A.) Chadli

    B.) Tadic

    C.) Lamela

    Can't have Tadic so would Silva be a decent pick for Ramsey? Would be for a -4.

    1. The Hound
      • 14 Years

      Which 3 saints u got?

      1. Clam. ☘️
        • 11 Years

        Clyne, Pelle :shades:

        And.... JWP :rolls:

  22. The Gambler.
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Got Di Maria, so....

    A) Rooney > Falcao
    B) Rooney > Pelle

      Well one of them plays for a top 7 side and has been scoring goals for fun over the last couple of years, and the other is some injury-prone Colombian guy who hasn't scored all season.

      1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        the Colombian guy also scored goals for fun in the past couple of year in harder leagues than Pelle played in

  24. CFC1990
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Need some advice.

    My plan was to WC for GW8.

    Krul (swa)
    Ivanovic (ARS), Taylor (NEW), Duff (lei), Moore (BUR)
    Fabregas (ARS), Sterling (WBA), Sigurdsson (NEW)
    Rooney (SUS), Costa (ARS), Pelle

    Elliot (swa), Clyne (tot), Ramsey (INJ), Mutch (INJ)

    Would just swapping out Rooney be okay?

    Who would you swap him out for?

    Is Ulloa the best choice with Burnley at home?

    0.2m itb 1 FT

    Please do help.

    Many thanks

  25. Steve McCroskey

    Evening everyone.

    I have Rooney and Ramsey; what's the general consensus? Rooney to Aguero and Ramsey to Tadic?

    thanks

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Template move this week.

    2. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Sounds the best moves on paper.

  26. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsey -> ? £9.0m

    a) Tadic
    b) Mata
    c) Chadli
    d) Ozil / wait for walcott
    e) A.N.Other?

    (Foster Krul Bertrand Vlaar Coloccini Ivanovic Wisdom Di María Sterling Sigurdsson Ramsey Marney Diego Costa Agüero Berahino )

    1. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Oh Silva was the other option

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

        I'm tempted by Silva

          Tadic seems a sensible long term option that you can leave in a focus on other areas of the team.

    Good to go?

    DDG/Gilks
    Cahill/Chester/Dummet/Clyne/Duff
    Mane/Sterling/Siggy/ADM/Marney
    Aguero/Costa/Pelle

    On -4. Should I WC and fix defence or is this fine for now?

      I can imagine one.. but a Leicester one is more likely. Sensible move.
