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.

    I really wish people weren't selling Fabregas, I'm happy to bench him but I'm going to end up losing value 🙁

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

      Shocking top page comment, apologies.

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

      Think I'm getting rid tonight as looks like he's gonna drop. Sorry dude.

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

        YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!

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

          If you are planning to keep him then why are you worried about his .1 drop?

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

            This. If anything you should be happy. Less people will own him, and you will climb the ranks if he gets points.

        2. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I think he might not drop till tomorrow.

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

      Should be of no concern if you aren't selling

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

    Lukaku has scored or assisted in these games:

    ARS, wba, CRY, AVL, BUR, WHU, HUL

    And blanked in these games:

    lei, CHE, liv, mun, sun, tot, mcy

    Think he could do pretty good in "easy" fixtures untill January, but I'll probably get trolled!

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

    So despite having an absolutely terrible score this week, my team for next week actually isn't looking that bad:

    Guzan
    Baines, Rose, Wisdom
    Bolasie, Mata, Downing, Siggy, Hazard
    Kane, Costa

    (Foster, Dummett, Aguero, Chambers)

    Might just need to shift Aguero if he starts plummeting.

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

      Would like to lose Rose as well actually.

  4. RC27
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Just a quick one... Would you do Aguero, Austin and Chambers - Bony, Rooney and a 4.8 def?? If so what def would be best?

    Thanks in advance

    1. Goodnight Kiwi
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Naylor of Swansea mate

      1. RC27
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I've go Naylor

        Currently have Naylor, Hutton, Moore and wisdom

        1. Goodnight Kiwi
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Caulker or Yun?

          1. RC27
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Cool thanks bud Yun is nice and cheap he'll go well with the other cheap defs lol

  5. Goodnight Kiwi
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Stacking with City until Jan WC
    Is Kun, Sterling, Dummett -> Jovetic, Yaya and Zaba (-4) too much?

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

      no it's not

      1. Goodnight Kiwi
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers Bemba

        1. RC27
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          They're good moves imo

          1. Goodnight Kiwi
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers mate. Even with -4 think I can recoup this week. Would be playing Dummet v Arse and Ster v ManU otherwise.... Ta RC

  6. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Will Haz go up in price tonight ?

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

      yes

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

      I would say no.

    3. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      That's that sorted.

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

    Chambers to

    A)Hutton (4YC)
    B)Naylor

    1. Goodnight Kiwi
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Naylor for me

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

    What is your front 7/8 probably going to look like next week? Taking a hit?

    For me (-4):

    Yaya Toure Sigurdsson Sanchez Hazard Downing
    Austin (banned) Sakho Costa

    Rotating Austin and Sigurdsson

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

      I'm guessing 50% of top10k will have that midfield, including me..

      I have Lukaku and Bony instead of Costa and Sakho, and double Chelsea-def instead.. didn't pay of this week but neither did Costa:p

    2. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      same here, but with Kane and "somebody" instead of Sakho and Costa

    3. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I might, but leaning towards just Aguero out for someone. Lots of options, though

      Bony
      Benteke
      Sakho
      Carroll
      Dzeko
      Cisse

    4. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard, Sanchez, Downing, Siggy
      Costa, Kun's replacement, Bony

    5. Sparrer
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Likely exactly the same.

  9. jackluhg
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed last page..

    thoughts on Benteke for Aguero replacement?

    1. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It's a decent bet. When on form he is a very good FPL pick. Bony seems to edge it right now though

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

      Im for it

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

      Just did it. Gonna use funds to get in Sanchez and Yaya in the next 2 gw since this gw I lost 4 players...

  10. vova
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Kun to Rooney
    Fab to Yaya

    no hit

    yay or nay?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      These are exactly my moves, so yay 🙂

    2. Anaheim
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

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

    Should I do it ?

    Aguero Boyd Krul --> Costa Downing Courtois (-4)

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

    Just noticed that the difference between rank 10k and 100 is 77 points, and the difference between 10k and 200k is 83 points. its also 67 points between 1 and 100.

    Incredible how out-stretched that top!

    I'm currently 1 point behind top 10k... so close yet so far!!! 🙂

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

      I'm 8 points behind top 10K but hopefully all these hits people are taking will help me out next week. 😀

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

      Nice, I'm nearly into the top 20k messed up a transfer gave me a negative swing of 10 points

      Did a -4 for Costa from Bony

      What was I thinkng!!

    3. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      and 100pts between 1st and 1k....

    4. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Been in the top 10k for most of the season but never been above 6k 😯

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

    Likely risers and fallers tonight?

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

    Lukaku surely wont blank against QPR?

    Benteke looks good to go after that fixture.

    Not many other options striking out, Bony probably.

    If your feeling punty, then Carroll

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

      cant decide between wilfried, romelu and wayne. Dont know if I feel this tekkers thing

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

        Benteke is a top striker I think, better than Lukaku but playing an away QPR team, gotta be Lukaku I think.

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

      It's Lukaku. He will blank against QPR. His new owners will dump then two goals at Southampton

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

    45 points, 2 to go, Wisdom on the bench.
    Hopefully a little green tomorrow if Rooney doesn't go mad.

    1. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A little green arrow?

      I've got 20 points and I feel there are people doing worse than me

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

        Sure. But I am just talking about tomorrow.
        Was wondering if I can rise from where I am now.

  16. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Transfers done. How am I looking chaps?

    Adrián
    Wisdom // Ivanovic // Baines
    Yaya Touré // Sigurdsson // Hazard // Sánchez
    Kane // Bony // Costa (C)

    Subs: Gilks Boyd Hutton Moore

    0FT 1.0 ITB

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

      great

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

      Very noice.

  17. NED KELLY
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on kun?

  18. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I know we are not informed about the assessment on him yet.

    But .. We are quite confident that this weekend is too soon for Kun, right?

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

      Definitely

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

        how legit/reliable is this guy?

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

      Thanks

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

    Apart from the unfortunate few who had nearly all the sent off/banned/injured players there seems to be a lot of unnecessary panic. Aguero and Chambers are the only ones who must go unless you can't field a team in which case a hit or two should sort things and many will be doing the same

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

      Yeah, 65k out on Fabregas, 30k on Austin etc..

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Exactly this. I've never quite worked out people's aversion to the odd hit here or there.

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

      Agreed the Hits even themselves out over the season IMO and a lot will be taking them this week may play my wildcard though but it's a tough choice at this stage.

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

      Pjanic

  20. BeachBadger
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    6.2 for a defender already tripled up on chelsea. Who would you get?

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

      Koscielny?

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

        I'd only get Debuchy if I went Arsenal. think I'll stay clear for now.

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

        Terrible choice at the moment he had Achilles problems and we arsenal are in a crisis

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

      Kompany

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

        too expensive

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

          Ah, Cresswell? But only good fixture for 2-3 more weeks if I remember correctly

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

            yeah not a bad bet. fixtures arent terrible overall

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

      Shame you can't squeeze 0.2 more for zabaleta/Kompany.

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

        Well I could go without yaya I suppose but I'd rather have him. Tempted by Kolarov and leave him on the bench every now and again lol

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

    City will allow the swelling around Aguero’s knee to go down for up to 48 hours before he goes for a scan. Only then will they know exactly how long the striker will be out, but Aguero has privately expressed his fears after saying ‘he felt something strange happen inside’ the joint.

    Apparently he has told friends he is out for 1 month?

    1. Beavis

      Yeap he sent me a text earlier.

    2. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      that sounds like an ACL injury imo.... out for season?

  22. PMC3
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Why aren't Newcastle starting Cisse? He has scored a goal every 66 minutes this season, which is better than Aguero, Costa or anyone else that I have checked.

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

      When he is benched he scores.

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe he feels better about coming on later? Or the manager just wants it that way.

  23. BLACKSHEEP
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Chambers ------> Clichy
    Fabregas -------> Hazard/Yaya (which one...)
    Aguero ----------> Costa

    (-8)

    I have a lot of issues... even with this i still have austin and chadli...

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

      hazard for sure next week chelsea are at home v hull potential captain choice

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

        Hazard has scored in the last four homes games.

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

          he's also not scored away in the league all season. 0.o

    2. BLACKSHEEP
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      On the other hand i could just ride out the storm... and not transfer fabregas...

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

    I was looking at the potential Aguero replacements:

    Lukaku pros against QPR good fixture after it
    - cons its lukaku but then plays sot, stoke, new all potentially awkward

    Carroll - pros back on form and when on form looks unplayable on paper two nice fixtures next sun and leic
    - cons injury prone and rotation during christmas schedule?

    Costa - pros has the class
    -cons not on form recently and a yellow away from a suspension - red card waiting to happen

    Rooney - pro on form has okish fixtures after liverpool
    cons - will he be played as midfielder - will LCG continue counter attacking style that seems to suit him?

    Other man city striker? Its a lottery with them

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

      sunderland are pretty though to break down, I went with lukaku since he makes it easy to do Lukaku
      -> Dzeko/Jovetic later if one of those look good

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

        Costa is a yellow away from suspension?

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

          He's 4 away from suspension.

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

      costa has done his suspension already

  25. Gaz Downright
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Problems:
    Alderweireld (Doubtful)
    Fábregas (Suspended)
    Austin (Suspended)
    Agüero (Doubtful)
    Krul (Injured)

    1. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Got 2 FTs so might bench Fabregas and swap out the two As up front

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

        I´m looking at austin -> Sakho and Aguero -> Costa

    2. @ImpressiveTackl
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      manageable

    3. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      1/2 FTs? 2 gives you 11 out. A hit or two should sort you out Gaz.

  26. kirwy
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Guzan
    Baines / Azpi / Hutton
    Hazard / Sanchez / Yaya Toure / Siggy / Boyd
    Costa (C) / Benteke

    Bench: McCarthy (GK) / Yun / Moore / Austin

    Verdict, gents? 🙂

    1. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good to me, except for the Villa double up

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

        Cheers! My only option is Yun so have to stick with Villa I guess 🙁

  27. Jay Jay Okocha
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    About to pull the trigger on Aguero, Chambers > Bony, Hutton. Any reason to wait?

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

      Yeah, they are shit moves 😛

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

      No rush. Patience.

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

      unless a drop in value would prevent you from making the transfers I would wait

      1. Jay Jay Okocha
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I have a newborn, no time to check risers/fallers. Are any of those 4 at risk tonight?

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

          Hutton is rising.

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

      Hutton isn't gonna score again and one yellow away from a ban. Surely better options.

    Fellaini has not travelled and trained with the first team this week he is set to miss out against Southampton according to latest rumours

    I have narrowed my Aguero replacement down to Lukaku and Dzeko. Might consider Rooney depending on his performance tomorrow.

      Get Lukaku again QPR, then you get a week to see how City line up (Dzeko vs Jovetic etc and how they look)

      If I knew Dzeko would get the minutes next week, would have to be him against woeful Leicester.
