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

      Rarely any player is captained after a blank 😆

      I'm doing it, I think I started this idea a couple days ago.

    Is it worth bringing in Pelle for Berahino but needs me to downgrade Ivanovic for a 4m ?

    Foster
    Ivanovic - Clyne - Baines [Wisdom/S.Taylor]
    Fabregas - Tadic - Di Maria - Siggy [Boyd]
    Costa - Aguero - Berahino

    No FT

    B) Sterling / Ivanovic > Hazard / Terry

    C) Sterling / Ivanovic > Hazard / Coleman

    D) Sterling / Ivanovic > Sanchez / Terry

    E) Save transfers

    Very interesting article on Diego Costa and whether he will maintain his goal scoring.

      It's that conversion % that worries me. However we saw similar things with Ramsey and Yaya. It will regress at some point, but no point worrying until it does!

      1. Just A Hat
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        It shouldn't do that much, most of his chances are because of good positioning and fantastic passes from Fabregas - he can't miss most of the time

        1. Barry Woj
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Oh yeah, I've still got him in my team! But it will regress because that kind of thing nearly always does. Something like 25% is normally considered really good for a striker. Hopefully it will be the same amount of goals with more shots!

    2. Shifty

      stopped at comparisons with Zaki.

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

        You got further than me then - I stopped at "goal.com" 😉

    3. pompeyfan
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      it start by comparing him to Zaki, Macheda, Robinho & Michael Johnson. I must've missed all their goals in La Liga and their champions medals.

      Then it mentions Micky Quinn and I stopped reading

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

        too bad Quinn is mentioned at the tail end of the article, rendering your time wasted. Someone should delete this post.

        Biggest pile of crap i've seen/read in awhile. Considering i visit animalsbeingdicks.com for fun.

    Siggy>Downing

    This gw or next gw?

    1. Point Magnets
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      this wk. due points.

  7. Habozekry
    • 11 Years

    Why is everybody ditching Sterling ?!

    1. johnbarnes
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      because people are ignorant.

      1. Habozekry
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I think that's a proper answer

        1. Habozekry
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I'm not a member so I cannot see ... but you can give me a sneak peak

            His stats have crashed.

            1. Habozekry
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Ok, but sometimes I trust my sense more than the stats regarding the upcoming matches

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

                on the pitch, he's still influential imo. crucial to the Pool attack.

          2. AAAAA
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            I'l tell you why I didn't buy him.

            He has started shooting from poor locations. Nobody is finishing his chances. Basically liverpool aren't scoring enough. Consider him when Studge is back

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

          Have you got a table for everything? 😀

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

            I think so, now. 🙂

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

          Fair enough, but he's first in chances created and has 10 goal attempts. He's such good value and a consistent point scorer.
          I know you've been steadily on Downing's corner. What do you think of Siggy>Downing? Better this gw or next gw?

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

            This week, imo. And a reasonable move, imo.

            1. johnbarnes
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Any tables to suggest on Downing?

            1. johnbarnes
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              cheers

    2. Point Magnets
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      because those people are inexperienced in fpl and probably low ranked

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

        Because hazard will go buck mad

        1. TokyoRed 東京赤
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          "buck mad" is a cracking expression

    3. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      he didn’t score last week?

      1. Point Magnets
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Neither did Hazard, DiMaria, Fabregas, Siggy, Tadic, Eriksen, Chadli, Toure, Gerrard etc etc

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

          imo it won’t be a surprise if Sterling outscores the mids he’d been sold for
          the only mid that is very likely to outscore him this week is Sanchez but i don’t think it’s worth a FT to do that move

    4. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      chasing points.

  8. BurnySizz
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    What would you immediately change in this team? I'd like to get Costa back either this week or next got 1ft and 0.2 itb

    Begovic McCarthy

    Ivan baines kaboul duff clyne

    Siggy fab sterling Tadic boyd

    Welbeck pelle aguero

    1. Kurtinho

      Team looks great. Save transfer and reassess next week.

  9. Gooner Kebab
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Larsson to 7.2 mid?

    He's my 4th mid, so needs to be scoring >1pt to outperform 🙂

    Downing is the obvious one, any other candidates?

    1. Barry Woj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Mane for a few nice fixtures?

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

      Felliani

    3. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Current mids: ADM, Sterling, Siggy, Larsson, Alby.

  10. Trigg ⭐️
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is Tadic & Sterling to Downing & Sanchez (-4) a good move?

    I feel like it's almost a waste, having just done Downing > Tadic last week 😆

    1. TokyoRed 東京赤
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Bit of a waste, good to have Sanchez but I an keeping Tadic & Sterling. I have Downing as well but lots less confidence in him, will perform for the price I suppose.

      So stick.

    2. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Feck no. Steady those knees. Not for a hit.

  11. Rassi
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Would you bench Downing (stk) or Siggy (eve)? Currently benching Siggy but not sure at all. Might just flip a coin.

    1. TokyoRed 東京赤
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Let me know what comes up, same dilemma.

    2. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't bench Siggy against Everton's defence

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

    Repost. Which one would you do for a hit? cheers

    a. Siggy + Moreno > Sanchez + chambers
    b. Bego + Sterling > Courtois + sanchez
    c. Moreno + sterling > Terry + Sanchez
    d. Naismith + Siggy > Costa + Boyd

    Awaiting the Silva injury news....

    If he is out, what would be the wise move?

    A) Silva ---> Downing? (Allow funds to upgrade Henderson to Wally when ready)
    B) Silva ---> 9.5 max
    C) Silva + Henderson ---> Sanchez + 5.1 (-4)

      Ranked 1k, so just behind you 🙂 Costa all day long. He's back this week, if he's not played then vice Welbeck and hope for a decent differntial return.

  21. flashmcintosh
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling & Welbeckz -> 6.9 & Pelle?
    Despite Pelles fixtures, hes just too hot.

    Whos the 6.9? (got siggy).

  22. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
