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.

    Why is Yun protected ?

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

        Cheers is that better than total FPL

  2. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years

    Adrian - McCarthy
    Baines - Chambers** - Hutton - Saylor** - Duff*
    Sanchez - Hazard - Mirallas - Downing - Boyd
    RVP - Aguero** - Kane

    +1FT, +1.4m

    .
    How's Kun, Chambers ➡ Costa, O'Shea (-4) + 3.3m?

    I can then afford Fabregas/ADM next GW.

      3rd defender is needed so looks good.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Hopefully Saylor and Duff are back soon...

          • 16 Years

          Duff might be back this weekend according to physioroom. I have him but don't have much faith.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Saylor should be fine for GW17.

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

    Obertan + Aguero > Yaya + Sakho (-4)?

    Would leave me with 2.6m ITB for defence upgrade next week and -

    Guzan
    Baines, Clyne, Wisdom
    Yaya, Hazard, Sanchez, Downing, Siggy
    Costa, Sakho

    (Jakupovic)(Austin, Yun, S.Taylor).

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Not bad actually. It would give you a strong bench player for the xmas period!

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

    Question please lads

    So for the first round of the FFS paddy power cup, I got 31 points (no hits) and my oponent got 32 points (excluding hits of -8 for the GW.)

    With regards to the cup, are the hits taken into account? Or is it only the gross GW points excluding hits that determines your score to go through?

    Cheers!

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

      Hits matter. So you're 7 ahead.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Net score.

    3. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      32 still beats 31 or am I reading this wrong? No need to factor in hits taken I'd imagine.

      1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        read it wrong, 'excluding hits of -8'. Nothing to see here/

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        No he would be on 24 after the -8

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

    This WC team looks rather sexy ...

    Pantillimon
    Jagielka, Jenkinson,Clichy
    Fabregas, Hazard, Mata, Yaya, Sanchez
    Costa, Sakho

    Subs - Elliot, Hutton, Yun, Ayoze

    Is it worth WCing this in?

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on what your team looks like now. Not sure about Jags tbh. Clichy has rotation worries and Mata might be on borrowed time till ADM returns of Falcao is in the starting 11.

  6. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Sell or keep Aguero?

    Everyone must answer.....

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

      Sell

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

      Ive sold

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

      Keep

    4. thetinkerman
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      May as well wait until midweek. We'll have definitive news on his injury and more time to consider the replacement.

      If he's out for more than 2 weeks (likely) then I think selling is the way to go

    5. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Wait for news. But it will probably be SELL

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

      wait but sell by deadline 🙂

    7. melvinmbabazi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Wait for news

  7. KeepCalm
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Not a fan of taking hits but felt it had to be done...-8

    Just did

    Chambers, Chadli and Aguero > Zaba, Yaya and Tekkers

    Feck it, YOLO

    1. Super Silva
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Should of waited till city's game in Champions league.
      Good luck

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

        Heard yaya was suspended? could be wrong

      2. jackx13
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yaya is suspended for CL. Only worry is Zaba.

      3. megatronaldinho

        should of. would of. could of.

  8. Gooner97
    • 12 Years

    Woudl you rather have Sanchez or Tourè the?

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez

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

        +1

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

      the next few GWs?

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

      for december run of fixtures Toure

      but he has 4 YCs (whereas Sanchez has 2)

      Sanchez probably better long-term pick with ACON looming... Yaya short term

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

      Toure will get more points in the next few weeks

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

      Sanchez not been the same since being shifted out to the wing IMO

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

      Alexis

    7. melvinmbabazi

  10. jackx13
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    What do you guys think of this:

    Aguero+Eriksen+Boyd -> Sakho+Yaya+Hazard-4

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

    Play Yun & Marney or take a 4 point hit on Fab -> Hazard in order to bench Yun?

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

      think hazar will ake the 4 points up on yun tbh and he's a viable cptin choice so worth it in my opinion and i'm normally anti hits

  12. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Strongly considering swapping Baines for Ivanovic after QPR

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Might as well. He's due to drop tonight. Chelsea lose one game and people start selling him. Fickle lot, FPL managers.

  13. melvinmbabazi

    Heaton
    Baines-Ivanovic-Clyne

      Courtois

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

    Having a decent round I with 43 points and DDG still to play. Hope to get into 10k tonight or at least next week.

    DDG (Hamer)
    Baines, Hutton, Bertrand (Chambers, Naylor)
    Sanchez, Downing, Siggy, Yaya (Ameobi)
    Aguero, Ings, Bony

    Chambers > Zaba
    Aguero > Costa (C) (-4)

    Will wait to see CL results though. Then get in Dzeko or Tekkers for Ings next week.

    Good plan?

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

    I seriously think Dzeko could be a great Kun replacement:

    Nailed on.
    Silva almost back. (service)
    Relatively cheap. (8.1)
    Fixtures.
    City's form.
    Flat track bully.

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed. A bit surprised many are opting for Yaya over him despite being more than 2M cheaper. It's not as if Yaya will get 5 penalties in a row.

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

        ... Or will he? 😯 #troll

        1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Well, I'll be left licking my wounds but am sure Hart+Dzeko[+maybe City defender] will outscore Yaya 😆

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

        😯 you fecker......

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

      it's the easiest switch for City attack that's for sure. If he gets a strong return in CL, will presume attention on the boards will be on him. because that's how it works here.

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

        If he plays 90 in midweek, that'll give a good indication to his minutes over Christmas. With Silva back, he'll get great service in those plum fixtures and SHOULD score plenty.

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

          key operating word, IF 🙂 owned him enough times over the past 2 seasons to know how frustrating he can be.

          if you do get him, i suggest you not watch him play.

    3. Sidd5
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      He obviously is , someone i am thinking of getting.

  24. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    The latest word coming from Argentina is that Aguero apparently has distension of the lateral ligament and that he's out for a month.

    Lateral ligament injuries are pretty rare (MCL and ACL are the common knee injuries) and apparently Aguero was only set to have a scan late yesterday so I'm not sure I believe this. Furthermore, LCL (Lateral Collateral Ligament) injuries usually tend to be longer than a month (3 weeks - 3 months depending on severity, which would mean Aguero only had a minor LCL sprain.) Not sure I buy it, worth noting though.

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

      Yeah I think is bs Somalian. Too soon for the news imo

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I just don't see how the Argentinian camp were supposedly made aware if City themselves are waiting for results... Would love if it was just a sprain but he looked in quite a bad way.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years

      Cheers Facer

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        😛 Gotta fill in when he's not about 😉

  25. Oz lotto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    With regards to Aguero.... His injury could be an ACL which would be season ending but even if it is a medial collateral ligament it's still a 4-6 week injury. The only thing that will stop me from selling is a mild strain - but one does not become tearful from a mild strain. Who is with me?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years

    Should I WC with this lot or take a 8/12 point hit..

    Fabianski* Gilks*

    Baines Azpi Yun Duff* Hutton

    Fabregas* Chadli* Sanchez Siggy Marney*

    Aguero* Costa Austin*

    My 12 point hit would be Fabianski, Fab, Chadli & Aguero -> Pantilimon, Yaya, Hazard & Dzeko/Benteke

    Leaning towards Lukaku over Rooney/Benteke as my Aguero replacement. Anyone feel the same?

      Lukaku/benteke/Bony/Sakho all seem to in the mix , Picking right one is kind off a lottery.
