The season could barely have started brighter for Raheem Sterling after the youngster grabbed two goals and an assist in the opening three Gameweeks for Liverpool. With Daniel Sturridge sidelined ever since, however, Sterling has struggled to replicate his early form, scoring just once and earning a pair of assists in the subsequent six Gameweeks.

Despite a weekend showdown against Newcastle on his agenda, Sterling is the most sold player in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, with over 65,000 owners parting company in order to acquire the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Dusan Tadic and Cesc Fabregas.

In our second members article of the week, we take a look at his displays with and without Sturridge on the park in order to ascertain just why he’s failed to deliver.

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

    Evening lads, potential risers and fallers tonight?

    I've no idea what site to follow these days!

    Five of the bottom 6 in the Championship have been Premier League teams within the last 5 years.

    Three of them have played in Europe in that time period too.

        Carson Yeung and the Venky's are prime reasons why foreigners with a lack of insight into the game have no place in football club ownership.

    Lost on a previous page:

    Bego
    Baines Monero Bertrand
    Downing Siggy ADM Sterling
    Costa Pelle Naismith

    Gilks Albrighton Colo Chester

    2 FT 6.5m in bank.

    Opinions on shipping:

    Siggy -> Sanchez? Sounds crazy but Swans fixtures aren't the best.

    Any other moves you would advocate?

  5. The Hound
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Was torn between hazard and aguero (c) after watching city tonight and more importantly silvas injury, am now leaning towards hazard. Aguero has more potential with silva playing IMO.

    1. oscardo
      • 13 Years

      this

      1. Doar1986

        I think hazard this weekend, he's due

  6. schlupptheweek
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Did my first hit of the season unfortunately but I felt that Cazorla and Silva needed replacing with Eriksen and Ramsey. I'm risking captaining Ramsey

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Madness.

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

      Did you slip in the Schlupp?

    3. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nought wrong with transfers but too risky (c) punt IMO.

    4. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      You Schlupp!

      Nah all the best ... gutsy move and i hope it pays off, would be good to have Ramsey back on the radar!

    5. Breadbin
      • 15 Years

      Welbeck is the man this week.

      1. Test Eagles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        On paper he really should be the (C) choice of the week, but he just hasnt been banging in goals regularly to warrant this.

        1. Breadbin
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Pick the right weeks, this seems like the right one.

          1. Test Eagles
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            I bloody hope so Breadbin ... so far he's been disappointing to say the least!

    6. drughi
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      good transfers but risky captain choice as ramsey is just back from injury

  7. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

    Who's sh!tting the YCs now :(?

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Cleveland steamer style.

    2. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Fabregas, Pelle and co. in the same gameweek would send the site in a spin. Good time of year to have a strong bench.

      Oh ... and Lee Catermole ... man I'm nervous 🙂

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        More reason for me to save FT

  8. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    that yellow card for pelle is a real buzzkill. could miss the leicester game at home now

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Wait and see if he does...

      Tactically that's the game SOT will want him to miss.

      1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        was hoping to bring him in for costa so i can afford alexis...

    2. A.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Lets hope he can hold out for 3 more games without a yellow until their tough run for fantasy managers perspective.

      Southampton might prefer him to miss the Leicester game

      1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        awkward as a prospective buyer

    3. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      So he's on 4?

      1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        yeah

        1. The Hound
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Damn he better behave at the weekend!

      oh well, sakho in!

  9. Yinyang 42

    I'm regretting my Sterling - Silva transfer now ðŸ™

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Awful luck. Sorry.

    2. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      You might have waited til after the Cup tie??

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Not defending his move but Pellegrini shouldn't be playing Silva in such a mickey mouse company.

    3. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch, in future don't bring players in who have midweek game. Wait for news and if defo out move him on.

    4. Yinyang 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I got impatient and just made the transfer early ðŸ™

      Now who is best to get in to replace Silva? Maybe Sterling? 😉

  10. Ivz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Welbeck, ivanovic to Costa, dummet ?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I would not do that.

      1. Test Eagles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I agree with this guy ^ ... great GW to have both Ivanovic and Welbeck.

      2. Ivz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks.. wanna give the armband to Costa this week.. nervous abot not having him home to Qpr..

        1. Guidinho
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Welbeck could easily get a brace, Mou may give Costa limited minutes. Just timing this weekend maybe not the best.

    2. drughi
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      terrible

    3. Takedog1
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      madness

    4. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Worst moves ever.

    5. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Don't take out two players who have potential for really decent scores this week.

  11. Nickofoz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is sterling -> Tadic on a FT this week a bad move?

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No.

    2. FionnMac
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It's not a bad move, but there will be better. And I'm a Tadic owner

        thx. i just dont have any che mids. and if dcosta doesnt play, mayb best haz for some che presence as i have welbz? or feck it, and go fr form suarez and risk no che if dc doesnt play..?

  13. Doar1986
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Harry Kane ? 4.8m surely due a start now ?

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, in Europe against some crap Romanian team.

      1. Doar1986
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Scored again tonight tho, in better form than ade and saldado?

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

      He is definitely knocking on the door. Will be nice to see him given a chance in first team PL. good for England anyways.

      1. Doar1986
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Do you think he's worth a punt, I have costa and Aguero

        Just trying to find some differentials as all the teams in my mini league are starting to look the same.

        Also, how cone Barkley doesn't get mentioned much on here, thinking of putting him in for Siggy with Swanseas difficult fixtures comin up

    3. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed ... how he doesn't get more EPL time is unbelievable.

      His stats when he starts are outrageous ... whilst they have those two plonkers walking around sipping brandy and hitting Row Z! At least he really wants to be playing, all else aside from Eriksen and Lamela look so disinterested!

    4. Mouth
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah Pochettino not afraid to give his youngsters a go if they deserve it.

  14. paatmaan
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    aguero --> costa?

    know it seems a bit crazy but with costa back against qpr, he should score a few. and city's form isn't good at all right now.

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Im thinking the same transfer, itsnot crazy , but the masses on here wont like it

        1. VougieDipond
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          opens the door to loads of other transfers with the spare cash

  15. Raddy
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    How bad did the Silva injury look? He tried to play on after which I guess must be somewhat of a good sign..

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think I've ever seen Silva go off with an injury and not be out for at least 3 weeks.

    2. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Well it didn't look lengthy as he walked from the pitch and played on for a bit but id wager he's out for the weekend.

    3. VougieDipond
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Stuart Brennan ‏@StuBrennanMEN 21m21 minutes ago
      I will be surprised if @21LVA is fit for Sunday. Knee opened up so likely to have tweaked ligament. Just keep fingers crossed.

  16. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    What would you do in my situation? 4k rank, should I play it safe and armband Costa or Sanchez or go for a punt and armband Haz? Instinct telling me Haz will score well if that helps..

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Probably play it safe given your rank.

      1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate. I'm a bit thrown ATM. Very undecided.

    2. The Hound
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going haz. No more of a punt then Sanchez. I own both.

      1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Sanchez is in form though.

        1. The Hound
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Hazards playing well and looking dangerous also. Been a bit unlucky with fpl points. Sanchez is a good choice, I just believe haz will get more this week.

    3. The one who has a knock
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      is captaining Costa safe? Might not start

    4. Guidinho
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think you can say that Haz is a punt, we are talking the probable top scoring midfielder by the end of season. If anything Costa is the punt imo, Mou might be careful with the minutes he gets either starting/going off early, starting from bench.

  17. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years

    How does this look for the weekend then? Just did Davis -> Obertan

    Begovic
    Clyne Chambers Wisdom
    Fabregas DiMaria Sterling Siggy
    Aguero Costa(c) Pelle

    Gilks; Obertan, Naylor, Duff

      No, 1 away

    4. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 12 Years

      if only there was a forum where people were discussing this right now...

  19. Spin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Why are so many taking out Ivanovic when QPR at home is his next fixture???

    1. Van Dal
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Casuals

    2. The one who has a knock
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe they think he is suspended

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Money constraints. Especially with Hazard, Alexis, Kun emerging

    4. Spin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Grand job, if thats all it is then fine.
      I'm thinking to bring him in so was wondering if there was something I was missing
      Cheers all

  20. The one who has a knock
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I have exact cash to do silva > fab, but Oscar will give me more options next week.

    1. The one who has a knock
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Meant to end that with Thoughts? But my iPad had other ideas. Thoughts?

    2. thepuntmaster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Is silva out? If so then yea if not hold him

      1. The one who has a knock
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, cheers you are right, I should wait until Friday like I always tell people. *logs off*

    3. owls on the up
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Oscar looks a good pick guess it depends what u can do with extra funds, what about haz?

      1. The one who has a knock
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        0.2 short of haz

    4. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      u reckon oscar will start and have at least 70 min having played midweek 90 min??

  21. Kirby
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling Fabregas ADM Siggy Downing

    A) Play the first 4

    B) Downing > Diame (playing him and dropping Siggy to bench)

    Got 2FT and 0.0 ITB.

    1. emperikal
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Play Downing and bench Siggy

      1. emperikal
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Same midfield as me btw and that's what I'm planning on doing

        1. Kirby
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Ah okay cheers.

          One consideration I've got is to downgrade likes of Downing / Siggy to Boyd, having 2FT again next week to use the cash to upgrade elsewhere (likely defence / midfield).

          1. emperikal
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            I was planning on the exact same moves but going to use one of my 2 FTs to do PVA > Chambers and will reassess next week what I want to do with Siggy/Downing. I got Downing initially a few weeks back as cover for Siggy's games so trying to stick to that plan for now

            1. Kirby
              • 15 Years

              Ah makes sense, would be nice to have them both this GW incase any players are injured or left out.

              Yeah Downing has been my fifth mid but he's not done anything for me, I'd prefer a decent fifth mid but not viable if I want to upgrade my defence and keep Costa, Aguero and Pelle!

              Cheers and nice rank 🙂

      they suspect him of match fixing. he puts a bet on himself to get a yellow in every game. refs have caught on

    Hi Guys

    So, I am really tempted doing this move with my 2 FT's:

    Sterling & ADM -> Mane & Sanchez

    Should I pull the trigger?

    Team:

    Krul
    Baines, Bertrand, Hutton
    Sterling, ADM, Siggy, Fabs
    Costa, Aguero, Welbs

    McCarthy; Moore, Boyd, Dummett

      Every time I see this grav I think it's Pepin.

        Lol same

    2. Kirby

      Don't think I would.

      Sanchez is temping but not at the expense of ADM.

    3. Walsh

      Find funds elsewhere to shift Sterling to Sanchez. I would not fancy losing AdM right now.

      Drop sterling that's what I did!

      I really don't want to lose ADM, especially since I have had him since he entered the game.
      But the only other way is to sell Fabs, and I think he is going to score more than ADM over the season. And also had him since gw. 3.

      .. just really need to get Sanchez in, as my ML rivals are catching up with me due to his goals!

    Have to say I like the look of aarons off Newcastle nice cheap midfielder I reckon he will get lots of game time soon.

      Hes been decent the times ive watched him, if he gets starts could be a great pick, especially if Newcastle keep this up.
