We delve into the Gameweek 20 data this evening and serve up some of the most impressive numbers from New Year’s Day. QPR, Swansea, Aston Villa and Man City’s strikers arrive under the radar, whilst we also cast an analytical eye over in-form midfielders from Spurs, Leicester and West Brom.
WC team for the future..
Foster/Myhill
Alderweirald/Wisdom/PVA/Terry/Hutton
Hazard/Sanchez/ADM/Downing/Boyd
Aguero/Costa/Kane
What would you change? 0.4 ITB
Downing replacement?I would make it exactly the same as my wc team if it was mine.
Nothing.
Oh wait, a Downing --> Siggy.0.4 ITB. Can only sell Downing for 6.0
Fair enough.
Solid team anyway.If Krul drops to 4.4 would it be worth doing Myhill to Krul?
Nah. Foster always gets injured.
Panti | Heaton worth a look.Yeah I saw that. But do I want double Sunderland defence?
Is doing Downing and Costa out for Cesc and Giroud possible?
Probably is. But I wouldn't want Giroud.
Great team, although I prefer panti/manonne as a keeper combo and I'd have chadli or Siggurdson over downing.
Don't trust having double spurs attack.
Panti/Mannone = 8.7m
Foster/Myhill = 8.5Fair enough.....just panti is the best keeper to own on fpl for me.
Best replacement for Yaya??
A ADM
B Silva
C Sterling ??I'm keeping
You do realise he will be gone for around a month?
A imo.What do you mean 'gone'?
African cup
African cup!?
Thought that was every 2 years. Ok, I'd ship him.
African Cup of Nations
😆
A
My last chance for a couple of votes.

My team for this week's scout picks.
Good night allWhats all this Messi talk..?
Coming to Utd
Utd couldn't even afford Falcao.
United has plenty of money and the debt is all but irrelevant.
You were saying?
I doubt he will leave. Remember Barcelona cannot sign a replacement either.
Luis Enrique will go before Messi does.
Any good movie to suggest before going to bed?
P.S. I am not in the mood, so maybe something to cheer me up
How long will you stay up for?
I can't sleep, so as long is needed.
A Serbian Film.
+1
Probably saw them all
The movie is actually called "A Serbian Film".
thanks
Srpski film
Oh lawd!
Now you see me
already saw it, but thanks
please lads be constructive
Snowpiercer
Will check it, thanks
A Human Centipede is worth a look
Any comedies lads? Thanks Grim, will check it
Pineapple express
The Trip to Italy?
Sorry don't like it. To morbid movie for my likings
Theory of Everything
If you know the right places.
It'll get you out your slump. Saw it today, class film.Will check it. Thanks Chris
In all seriousness, the films that cheer me up are:
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Get Him To The Greek, The Break Up, Wedding Crashers.
All very funny.
Knocked Up delivers instant cheeriness.
Maybe it is my fault have seen a lot of films. Already saw it but it is good suggestion
I figured you would have but it's good anytime.
Hard to know what type of comedies you like. I was pleasantly surprised by 22 Jump Street. More childish but The Lego Movie is very funny or the South Park movie. I'd classify them as easy going.
Me, Myself and Irene and There's Something About Mary are good for relaxed viewing as well as the American Pies.
Kings of Summer
Are there any good strikers these days?
Only Akinfenwa
Yes, just filter the forwards to those costing 5.6 or less.
NOt really, I've not been playing FPL long (last 3 seasons) - has there ever been a season like this where arguably none of the premium forwards are essential?
Nope, we've always had van Persie, Aguero, Suárez, Rooney etc. Terrible this year.
Nope. 🙁
Only Costa/Aguero/Sturridge/Rooney/Falcao/RVP/Kane/Austin/Benteke/Pelle 🙁Only terrible value/(only essential one)/Injury prone/Playing in Midfield/Rotation prone/poor value/decent value/average value, lost a bit of form/out of form/not a value choice anymore
this
That's why I said "nope"
Messi
How on Earth is Akinfenwa a footballer???
how is mignolet a goalkeeper?
https://vine.co/v/OdxEH563T1zOnly thing he can pick is the ball out of the net.
Nobody ever dared tell him he wasn't
😆
"You're on the bench next game"
"What's that coach?"
"Uhh.. I asked if you have a french name..?"Crazy a man that size is playing pro footie. Good on him.
Wildcard team for later on..
De Dea / Krul
Wisdom Pieters Ward Hutton/Cissokho Debuchy
ADM Sanchez Hazard Siggy Boyd/Jedinak/Bolasie
Costa/Sturridge Aguero Kane/Austin
What do u think?I like mine more.
I like yours more.
Similar to mine.It will probably change a bit in the coming weeks though 😆
Yeah. Mine too.
I have my defence and mid pretty much worked out, subject to what happens over at WBA.
Strikers are a struggle.
Good for u...
Probably have Aguero, Hazard, Samchez and Di Maria there too-Too much money spent on GKs
-No Chelsea defence
-Palace defender? 😯
-Pieters not worth the cash. Get Cameron if you want Stoke defence
-What have Arsenal done defensively to make you want to own Debuchy?I am probably doing Debuchy to Azpi and Krul to Hamer
Dedea looks good
Hi all....thoughts on this wildcard team please...
Panty. Heaton.
Terry. Bertrand. Hutton. Wisdom. Bruce.
Hazard. Sanchez. Adm. Chadli. Downing.
Kane. Giroud. Costa....with money to replace Costa with kun..
Is that any good?I'd honestly put Balotelli in my team if Rodgers would start him every game.. looked very good in the 10 minutes he got today..
You do realise they were playing a League 2 team?
And I still didn't think he was great... He gave a nice ball to Stevie G at one point though.
I do, but this is a very different liverpool-side to the one pre-united-game, creating alot more chances now, think Balotelli would do good in an attacking liverpool-team, which he haven't had a chance to play for yet
They are not even a top League 2 team.
What about all the minutes prior to that where he's looked crap?
As I said over, any player looked complete crap in Liverpool before the United-game when Rodgers did a U-turn and started attacking again
Sure he lost the ball most times that he ran with it ! Not great for a supposed 16 million pound player playing League Two opposition....
Anyone care to rank Giroud, Falcao and Austin in order of points scored between now and the end of the season?
GAF for me.....FGA
GFA.
FAG 😯
Not even wrong
GAF
AGF.
AFG based on minutes played
FAG based on qualityHe wants points
Guzan - Pantilimon
Clichy - Terry - Wisdom - Alderweireld - Taylor
Sanchez - Eden Hazard - Siggy - Johnson - Chadli
Aguero - Costa - Kane
i have 0.9 itb
is that ideal or should i buy ADM or another suggestion ???Lads, which combo is better for the next 3 GWs?
A) Chadli-Rooney-Mertesacker
B) Di Maria - Berahino - Mertesacker
C) Di Maria - Rooney - WasilewskiC
What to do with this bunch?
Forster
Terry Hutton Wisdom (O'Shea, Dummett)
Hazard Fabregas Sanchez Yaya* (Lallana*)
Austin Kane Carroll
1FT. 2.3m.
Yaya to ADM? WC? Or just cry?The latter
Cheers Jose
I would try to hold the WC, maybe Yaya to Siggy then next week Carroll to Costa/Rooney
I bleemin' took Siggy out last week 😀
Swallow that pride, Carroll surely has to be changed and unless Tekkers smashes it this week then it's only Rooney or Costa until Kun is back
yaya+lall > ADM+Chadli for sure
Carroll-> Costa (marginal. depends on price bought)
even -8 will pay you back.
don't WC yet, it's not that badAlready have 3 Chelsea
May consider the -4the -4 is obvious! they'll only get 4pts by just playing!
Itd mean benching a striker.
Would you bench Austin (bur), Kane or Eriksen (cpl)?
Other options to bench?
Siggy home to West Ham, Silva away to Everton ...
I'd bench Siggy.
Hmmm will think about it
I don't bench strikers
Kane.
Differential choice.
Could work, does feel riskier than Eriksen though
Eriksen, gun to my head.
Probably Eriksen to spread the risk
On this, cheers
very tough.
I guess Austin since Burnley are quite tight in defence
Best going forward: money is not an issue.
1.eriksen
2.downingEasy. Eriksen
easy chadli on fire 2.0 cheaper
Have had Naylor almost all season, only 2 good home fixtures till GW31, time to sell?
(on wc)
Probably, but shouldn't be your priority
Yup
I was thinking the same thing.
Lots will sell. I'm going to hold
Guzan - Pantilimon
Clichy - Terry - Wisdom - Alderweireld - Taylor
Sanchez - Eden Hazard - Siggy - Johnson - Chadli
Aguero - Costa - Kane
i have 0.9 itb
is that ideal or should i buy ADM or another suggestion ?????maybe adm and barnes get Aguero when he's back
Thanks for the new article title Paul 🙂
Best midfielder to own besides Fabregas, Hazard and Sanchez?
Angel di maria
Who start with? Chadli (CRY Away) or Danny Ings (QPR Home)?
Who would you bench?
A) Zabaleta
B) Baines
C) Hutton
I think they will all concede. Currently on CNah, bench Baines m8
If you think they'll all concede then maybe go with the one most likely to provide attacking return. Therefore, I'd go Zaba..
Ah sorry I read your post wrong. I'd bench Baines.
You just said "the one most likely to provide attacking return" Hutton more likely to get attacking points then Baines!? 😯 😆
and baines is on pens so hutton
Aston Villa defense looks solid these days. Baines playing city and everton is just hopeless now
Yeah but Leicester are bouncing back and should score at home against Villa.
@ Jose:
Are you for playing Azpil against Newcastle, dude ? 🙂a serbian film
i've seen them all
ah the joysGreat, innit?
i did try to watch it once. got through five minutes and had to re-evaluate life
😀
lol heard dark things about that film. Is is that bad?
Attempts to be shocking for the sake of it. In reality it is a brutally poor attempt at a film pretending to be standing for the Serbian governments treatment of its citizens.
One of those movies where after seeing the initial depth it will go to to try and shock you you are no longer surprised by what it throws at you. It is pitiful.Pretty bad because it shows a lot of stuff we haven't been desensitised to unlike things like Saw which we expect now.
hahaha
Guys, rate Falcao, Costa, Kane and Ulloa for number of points scored in next three game weeks, starting with least.
I reckon UFCK****
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2897904/Louis-van-Gaal-Wayne-Rooney-not-play-time-want-make-team-Manchester-United-youngsters.html
"Wayne Rooney may not play all the time... I want to make a team out of Manchester United youngsters"What? The same genius who spent around 150m on players, wants to build a team around youngsters? Typical LVG that.
people in Brendan Rodgers houses shouldn't throw stones 😉
Another hypocrite to be fair
I'm not sure what your point. United needed immediate investment to get back on track and in the CL where we belong. This doesn't conflict with his desire to have a young team.
Keep in mind that Di Maria was our oldest purchase at 26 years old (28 y/o Falcao was a loan).They belong in the CL? 😀
18 consecutive years in it until Dithering Dave came along, yeah I think so 😉
Filoshofee.
Schmoking a pipe, schmoking a pancake
yeah, united's squad didn't need any investment to get back on track
11, 13, 12
Good..... Yeah????Is this the game where we guess your age?
No it's the temperature for the next 3 days
Great site this..good questions followed by witty answers. Just fun to read, no need to even post that much.. Keep it up boys and girls..good night all.
I am Lorde, ya ya ya
yayayaya, I am Lorde, Lorde Lorde Lorde
George Costanza
Keep Lording it 😉
Living up to your name tag again
And again..not original to mock my name..
I just upvote stuff to stir sh1t 😉
You startin?
Youwantshum Epic?
I'll giveitya
A) Chadli and Falcao
or
B) Boyd and RVP?
A will give me a big benching headache every week 🙂A. I don't think RVP is worth the extra, the only obvious advantage is penalties but United aren't getting many.
I'm leaning that way, cheers
Holy mother I just did it. I activated my January WC. With the other one in hand I hope this will help me climb the ranking over the coming weeks without too much of risk. What do you think of my current draft?
Panti Mannone
Terry Alderwereld Wisdom PvA Wasilewski
Hazard Fabregas Sanchez ADM Boyd
RVP Giroud Kane
0.3 ITBrvp and giroud are both donkeys.
try something elseGiroud is a very good footballer better suited to being an SS than a CF. Criminally underrated on fantasy sites it's hilarious.
RVP, a donkey? lmfao...
I luv pringulz
Team, me or the chips? :S
