While Gameweek 15 is shaping up to be one to forget for many Fantasy managers, our analysis of the weekend’s statistics for members offers some insight to distract us, notably the growing influence of Yannick Bolasie and West Ham’s efforts to maximise the formidable weapon that is Andy Carroll.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    1) Aguero > Bony/Sakho
    2) Aguero + Austin > Bony + Sakho (-4)
    3) Aguero + Eriksen > Bony/Sakho + Yaya (-4)

    Options 1 and 2 gives me no ManCity cover

    Thoughts? (Currently have double chelsea defence)

    1. ALegendJ
      • 11 Years

      I would be careful with Zaba coming Christmas schedule

        Why so?

          rest here and there with Sagna available

    I wish flipping sky sports would change their system.

    You can never change the captain the day before. Has to be on the day. Then I end up forgetting. Has ruined the game for me. More annoying then anything!

  5. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

    A) Benteke and Yaya
    B) Di Maria and Lukaku

      A for me

        • 15 Years

        I just presumed he was back this week for some reason . Happy days and Thanks for the replies lads

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

      A is clear cut

  6. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero to

    Benteke or Rooney?

  7. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Toure the new best Man City option? Silva and Dzeko could be decent too.

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

      Toure the best/safest option, Dzeko bit risky but could be great value in December..

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I feel city will need Toure to chip in with more goals in light of Aguero injury.

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

        ah a Sunderland fan, perfect

        Do you see Brown keeping his place after that 0-0?

        no chance Coates come back?

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Jones is the threat to brown, not Coates. Reason being that jones will go RB (or LB Rivellere switching back on the right), either way that would see vergini put into his preferred position at CB and brown dropping out.

          If it had been a few weeks ago, this would have been a certainty to happen, but brown has picked up his performances so can see poyet keeping same team. He certainly won't drop vergini.

          Coates won't get a look in.

    Chances of Clyne not playing tomrw night?

    Yun first sub.

    🙂

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

      He will play

      1. super zlatan

        🙁

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      of course he will start.

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

        Clutching at straws. 😉

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

      Clyne to outscore Yun has better chance

  9. Punty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    You can say what you want about Liverpools and Arsenals defense after Liverpools start and last season, and Arsenals game against Stoke, but I still don't think that is good fixtures for Rooney and that's why I opted for Lukaku instead..

    Rooney has in the next three LIV avl NEW

    Liverpool: After Lucas started as DM and Gerrard has been used as AM Liverpool has conceded 1 goal in 3 matches, while Lucas in top of all players in PL in terms of tackles etc, as many suspected the problem was more with having no DM than the defense in itself.

    Aston Villa: Haven't conceded more than 1 goal per game since Tottenham 6 gameweeks ago, Vlaar also back next game, not sure if that helps or not though.

    Newcastle: Haven't conceded more than 1 goal per game since playing Swansea away in GW7, and have also gotten 4 CS in that time.

    In addition to these questionable fixtures Rooney is very low on all stats going forward compared to most strikers in the game

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

      Hah confused Arsenal and Aston Villa in the beginning! Too late for me

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      So you went for Lukaku over Rooney right? Lol

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

        At least for QPR to see how City line-up, if Dzeko looks nailed and good I'll swap for him next week

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

          The main point being, I don't think Aguero -> Rooney is a straightforward safe transfer, many better options

          1. Egg noodle
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Rooney is a poor option I agree, but Lukaku is hopeless.

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

      Lukaku will troll you, be warned

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

      Sakho.

  10. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    What's the deal with Pienaar? Likely to return to the left side of the mid? Mirallas is killing Baines

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

      I sold Baines purely because of Mirallas

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

        Me too, and that city-game

      2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I will be too if he keeps getting the start ahead of Pienaar.

    2. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      mirallas is self employed
      never works for the team a jot

  11. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Chambers to

    A)Hutton
    B)Bartley
    C)Naylor

    1. super zlatan

    If i sell aguero I wont have man city and united cover. Should I be worried ??

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

      Only city player I would want is yaya.

      But with 4 YC and ACON on the horizon I'm rethinking.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        ACON is still a month away and loads of games before then.

    2. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A)no
      B)yes-keep kun ?

      a question for you

    3. Willis.
      • 14 Years

      No

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

    Currently have 4 suspended and 1 injured player. All those four players have one-match bans, so I could go on without replacing any of those, but then i would need to upgrade my bench.

    Guzan
    Azpi, Wisdom, Schlupp, Yun
    Hazard, Alexis, Wanyama, Cattermole
    Rooney, Agüero*

    Bench: Fabianski, Fabregas, Austin, Chambers

    What to do? Keep all the suspended players? Atleast I'm keeping Fabianski, Austin and Chambers. Uncertain what to do with Fabregas.

    A) Aguero, Cattermole > Lukaku, Siggy
    B) Aguero, Cattermole > Bony, Mirallas
    C) Fabregas, Aguero, Cattermole > Yaya, Lukaku, Siggy
    D) Fabregas, Aguero, Cattermole > Yaya, Bony, Mirallas
    E) Any other suggestions?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sell Chambers and Aguero. Chambers' race is run

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

        Yeah, but I believe he will be used elsewhere after Debuchy returns. If I sell those two, I would still have to play Cattermole or Yun next GW?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Neither will start again this year, take a hit if you need to but don't keep Chambers

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

            Thanks for your feedback. Will probably get rid of him, just uncertain if I should do it this week or not.

  14. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Was planning on fabregas > yaya and Aguero > costa as my transfers this week, but really not sure whether costa is worth it over likes of Dzeko/benteke. What's everyone thinking?

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

      Going Benteke and Yaya!

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, I think I'll def get benteke gw19 but might go without until then. Hopefully bony will cover his points.

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

      If I didn't have him I wouldn't get him. Sakho or Carroll looking better. Chelsea need a reboot, because currently they aren't carrying much threat

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

        Hm, is Sakho going to start next gw? It is tricky now considering Carroll back..

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

          I'm getting Lukaku, he plays every week. West Ham situation, well nobody knows

  15. South Bank FPL
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Bentekkers or Lukaku as Kun replacement?

    If Bentekkers, I could also get rid of Berahino which is a big plus. If Lukaku I would have to play Boydinhio.

    Thoughts?

    1. South Bank FPL
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Could just go to Kane though but would be for -8 rather than -4

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

      I went for Lukaku for this week but swapping to Rooney next week I think.

      1. South Bank FPL
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, had considered him. I think I'm going to wait and see how he goes tonight before counting him into my plans.

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku is way to expensive for that inconsistent returs. Bony, Sakho, Austin and even Benteke over him imo

      1. South Bank FPL
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. I do like the idea of Benteke as it frees up cash to use elsewhere which could be handy given the busy period coming up.

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

        He's returned points in 6 out of 7 "easy/good" fixtures this season, and blanked against top teams, untill JAnuary he has good fixtures..

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Last season was the opposite. He always blanked vs. the "poor" teams. And Mirallas back probably won`t help much as he is the most selfish player in the PL.

        2. South Bank FPL
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Thats my point for concern I suppose. He seems like potentially good now, but past Jan??? Or should we not be thinking that far ahead?

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

            Nah I'm planning up to January WC

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

      Lukaku looks great for the next few.

      1. South Bank FPL
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed.

    5. South Bank FPL
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Just realised that if I go Benteke, I will have 3 Villa players.......any think thats an issue?

  16. World XI
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking of bringing in Cissokho instead of Hutton who is on 4 yellows. Sensible decision?

  17. RabMac
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Mirror saying Aguero is out for a month with damaged knee ligament. Glad I ditched him last night. 😉

      Yessss

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

    Would we be considering yaya as much if he hadn't scored the penalty?

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

      Probably since that we knew already that with Aguero injured Yaya was on pens

      1. Volley127
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Is penalties enough to justify a midfield at that price? I'm unsure.

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

          Yaya will step up and when he does I'll be there to (C) him:)

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

          that and the fixtures yes imo

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      when aguero went off I knew they were getting a pen. I was tempted by him a couple weeks back

      It's not just about that, there are players you would change on a wc that you wouldn't take a hit for. If you played your wc how many players would you change? More than 5? Hit it

      1. Dempsey

    Krul Foster
    Baines Bertrand Chambers Naylor Hutton
    Sanchez Fabregas Siggy Downing Boyd
    Aguero Costa Austin

    2 FT
    0.2 ITB

    Thinking of Kun to Rooney and Fab to Yaya

    I also feel like I have to get rid of Chambers but don't know for whom

    Cheers

  21. FPL Mike the Knight

    1. The Bandit

      Costa 100% I'd rather have the big dog than Bony

    2. Egg noodle
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Bony purely because he has a much lower chance of being rested.

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

      Costa, if you forget price.

    4. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      neither
      costa quiet in a good team
      bony class in a team that's not clicking
      sakho or carroll would be my pick-next 2 fixtures especially appealing

    5. Pigvig

      Rooney?

    Ooops. I accidentally just confirmed a 12 point hit. Was playing around with my team and hit confirm rather than cancel (on an app on my phone so easier to do than on the website)

    This is what I have been left with:

    Heaton, Guzan

    Baines, Bertrand, Dummett, Yun, Bartley

    Fabregas, Yaya, Sanchez, Siggy, Downing

    Berahino, Costa, Bony

    Do I need to wildcard to sort this out and get my points back or just leave it as it is.

    Stupidest thing I have ever done FPL wise.

    1. RabMac

    Yes or No ?

      Only do the Krul > courtrois one if you dont have a playing keeper.

    A) Aguero, Chadli, Albrighton > Yaya, Bony, Boyd (Keep Fab, no Haz)
    B) Aguero, Chadli, Fab > Yaya, Haz, Benteke/Dzeko

      Exactly like mine 😎

        Nice one 😀

      Looks great. I'd want Downing as the 5th mid though to cover for others, or even as the 4th mid as he's great value

      1. RabMac
        • 12 Years

        I have choice of upgrading Siggy or Downing to Yaya and can't afford them all unless I gimp my defence.

      Solid but I think bony/benteke/Dzeko could do the job of costa or Rooney and save you some dollar to invest in your defence.

      1. RabMac

        My defence is

        Elliott Pantilimon

        Azpi Clyne Chambers Wisdom Duff

          Well chambers needs an upgrade for a start.

            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            If I upgrade Sigurdsson to Yaya instead of swapping for Downing, I can upgrade Chambers to any defender up to 5.8K.

    Just had a look at Triggerlips' team, 18 points with Rooney + Clyne to go. That's brutal, unlucky in many regards.

    If you're there Triggerlips I'd be curious to know how you plan on cleaning up you Fabianski/Chambers/Fabregas/Aguero mess?

      Thats better than a lot of people 😆

    Anyone else going with Benteke for Aguero replacement?

      Im close to going for this.

        Only issue is I would have 3 Villa players....
