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.
In two weeks I'm going to have Chadli and Kane vs my foster and wisdom. Fml.
What do you do in situations like this ?!?!?
play the 2 attackers
and foster for saves
Drop wisdom
If spurs are going to score against your keeper you want the points so two players increase chances
a) Giroud/Pelle + Chadli
b) Austin + Silva
I´ll try this with a new crowd. Any reasoning would be appreciated, thx.
Regardless of rest of team.
Do you (and why?) think that downgrading Fabs to Chadli, which allows me to upgrade Wasilewski to Terry and Toby to Bertrand/Clyne would be more then made up in points?
This of course means Terry would play every week and Bertrand/Clyne almost every week. Rest of defense would be the likes of PVA, Hutton, Cameron, Lescott most just above 4m so 1 of these would be picked every week.
With Fabs instead of Chadli and no Terry I would have to play 2 out of 3 of cheap defenders cause Wasilewski would just be benchfodder.My advice keep fabregas. I have been burnt by so many premium defenders, baines, Zab, Moreno , azpi, they just are not always worth it.
This is the strategy from two years ago and I feel it's right this year too.ok... Well you have a point as I too have been burnt this season by the likes of Baines, Kolarov and Zaba.
But I am so very tempted to do the Chadli route as he is just 20pts behind Fab and Terry I feel is quite secure, but it is a cunundrum and I´m lost
If Chadli carries on scoring it would be a genius move but the question is, will he keep on scoring? You know what you are getting with Fab
Also very true, Fabs is without a doubt the safest choice... Sigh
Cheap options aren't necessarily bad. Wasilewski is a bad option and I don't understand why he is in so many teams - you may as well field 10 players. All the others, given the right fixture are more than capable of keeping a CS and shouldn't be dismissed because of their price tag.
True chea aint automaticly bad, but Wasilewski would never start and just be benchfodder
My point being if you can squeeze in cheap options from good teams (non lei, bur, QPR) and keep Fab. Do it.
Ok. Thx.
I am on WC also.
I think that's a good idea if you ask me.
Ok, thx
What do you prefer?
A. Giroud + Fabregas
B. Costa + Chadli
A
A, but it is decently more expensive right? B is better value, IMO
I like B more, more explosive and slightly cheaper

Thoughts on this future WC team?
Foster - Myhill
Terry - Clichy - Alderweireld - Hutton - PVA
Sanchez - Hazard - Di Maria - Sigurdsson - Boyd
Costa - Falcao - Kane
(1.8 ITB) to do Falcao > Aguero when he is back 😀Clichy not nailed on enough
Very good Team Value right?
Good chance I'll play my WC before the deadline. If so was wondering for a little help.
A) Best 5.2 GK combo?
B) Best fourth choice MF forB) Best fourth choice MF for 7.0 or less
C) Best placeholder until Aguero's return?
Thanks!9.2 GK combo. Christ, I've not even had an ounce to drink tonight.
Chadli or Siggy? Had Siggy all season but its getting hard to ignore Chadli. Also got Kane.
Chadli
Just to let you all know I will be going into celebrity big brother next week
One raider?
Huh
day 2 (thick geordie accent)
john terrys dog has peed in the jacuzzi and eminems not best pleasedBut eminem forgives him for the brilliant night of passion the previous night
tv gold right there
Double SoT defence for WC or mix it with one Chelsea in there?
No don't. You will just end up whinging.
Please avoid.Clyne, bertrand and terry is the ultimate defence imo
What the hell is field work? Sounds like aguero has gone on a geography school trip in slapton.
LOL! Collecting flags 😀
Training on the field
Any reason not to ditch Yun& Bony for Terry and Kane right away?
You know there is no reason.
Well I suppose unless you are aiming for the wooden spoon?For a hit? When are you planning to use your WC?
Dunno how people can answer these questions with incomplete information...
Would you do Baines Siggy > Wisdom ADM for -4?
No
Sorry I made a mistake in my post before:
a) Giroud + Chadli
b) Austin + Sterling
Foster
Zabaleta,Baines, Trippier, Hutton
Adm, Hazard, Silva, Sanchez, Sterling
Austin, Benteke, Kane
Which 2 should be benched this week?
Tekkers & Hutton.
rp
1 FT, 6.3m itb
thinking just Bony > Giroud and stick with the rest for now..planning on WCing in 2-3 weeks I think..
......................Guzan
...........Zaba ᵈ Terry ᵈ Hutton
Silva ᵐ Hazard ᵐ Sanchez ᵐ Downing
............Austin ᶠ Bony ᶠ Kane
Gilks, Demi, Marney, ChambersLooks like a fine idea
Your team is pretty decent, but are you comfortable having that much in the bank? Seems like a waste. Would you not rather Costa? Arsenal have City away...
City just conceded 5 goals to Brom, Burnley and Sunderland so not too worried there..
that money is likely going to Austin > RVP/Falcao next gameweekSurely Chelsea's fixture's are slightly better than Arsenal's though?
I don't think Costa is worth his price, would rather have Hazard and Fabregas when it comes down to it.
Come wildcard my front 8 will look something like this depending on money:
Haz - Fabs - Alexis - Siggy - Boyd
Kane - RVP - Aguero
Team Value = 107.7M (plus 0.3M itb)
ITB all sold = 104.5M
3.5M floating in the market!
Are Giroud buyers not worried about rotation with Walcott back? Wenger wasn't happy with him at all after the QPR incident
I'm taking a week punt before Agueros return and Giroud or Falcao is the choice. Don't make me nervous !!
he's better than Welbeck, a player that Wenger didn't even want on loan, let alone for purchase..
Well we are now
He Ade a real impact when he returned from injury though?
He is the only striker they have who can score. No offence to Danny boy I know he tries hard.
Anyone out there playing 3/5/2 week in week out?
5 premium mids (you know the ones)
1 premium Striker / 1 budget + 1 mega budget that you never play
Thoughts?I've been doing that most of this year. Think it's a solid idea especially with the number of midfielders outscoring forwards.
I have considered it but I am confident the likes of Siggy and Chadli will score just as well as ADM, Silva and the like. May as well use that extra money in attack
Not a good idea with the budget forwards scoring so much
After many days of mourning I've just logged in to fpl again to remove Kane from his position as first sub. May that decision now rest in peace.
This toure headache is doing my head in. I need to make a decision and then stick with it.
Wildcard for gw 23.
Is it madness to bring in Boyd or Sessegnon for Yaya when I can afford literally anyone else?
I already have Hazard, Sanchez, Henerson starting.who is your 5th?
Albrighton. Haven't had the chance to get rid yet.
Then I´d look at a big gun.... AdM played 30mins So he could be starting and get subed around 60m....
Fabs is a safe choice, Chadli has some fine fixtures, Wally is another name or even Silva or Sterling but I´m not at all sure about themThanks mate. So many options 🙂
fab? or you already have 3 chelsea?
I'm planning on doing Fab, Hazard to surprise my mini league opponents on the last week of wildcard so don't want to play this hand too early 🙂
hmm points or surprise? 😀
When does Walcott become a legitimate option?
after another game or possibly 2
When he has a couple of games under his belt in the starting lineup imo.
Last thing we want is to have him coming off the bench for a few games.Oh apologies just realised that's been talked about about two minutes ago.
Depends if its a bench move to avoid loss of coin..
Fab, Silva, Milner, Walcott, AJ...
Plenty other options.
Not Milner, AJ, or Walcott yet.
Boyd's a great 5th midfielder, but I'm not sure about Yaya to Boyd. I'm going for ADM if he's fit, or Sterling.
Ings or Austin...
Ings. Fixtures couldn't be better.
I prefer Austin still, at least worth a couple more chances...especially if you have Boyd as cover maybe?
u won't be playing boyd much would u?
Any idea on how to get Hazard into this team? 4.4 itb
Guzan Gilks
Clyne Zabaleta Terry Hutton Wisdom
Sanchez Fabregas Silva Downing Siggy
Costa Austin Kane
A) Fab to Hazard
B) Terry and Downing to Bertrand and Hazard -4
C) Costa and Downing to Falcao/Giroud and Hazard -4
D) Wildcard
Ta!Zab & Downing to Haz and ???
Wow.
My team was so similar .
I chose to wildcard
Best Yaya replacement for 2 weeks:
a) Fab
b) ADM
c) Silva
d) Chadli
Also, Rooney --> Costa worth a hit ?B or D
People WC ing this week, keeping Austin or shipping?
Can't decide. He's a placeholder for Aguero so just deciding if he's worth sticking vs his old club or bringing in giroud or rvp or falcao for a week ? What you thinking ?
@flapjack
was thinking Ings.
lot of love for Giroud though. If you keep sanchez would you still get the frenchman?
Last time I had Giroud he nutted someone as my captain. Feel a little cautious about going down that road again
#lad
On the other hand it's almost impossible he'll do something on purpose like that again now.
Planning on a front three of Aguero, Giroud, Kane
Are they any more cup games this week?
Everton v West Ham tomorrow.
Cheers. I'll hold off transfers till then. Or is Yaya and bony about to drop?
Don't think so. Not according to fpl stats. Not 100% sure tbh
Yeah might as well wait to see if downing gets through unscathed
Hard to tell with active WCs but I don't think so. Does that game impact your changes?
I have downing so I should wait in case of injury. I'd need to make 3 changes otherwise which might change who I bring in
Fair enough
How's this..,,,
Foster
Terry - Hutton - Skrtel
Sánchez - Hazard - Chadli - Saggy
Rooney - Kane - Austin
(Heaton - Boyd - Baines - Dummet ) 5.4 itb
Tempted to captain Austin...?Nice team. But brace capping Austin I think. Haz is the safe bet.
A bit brave
Don't captain austin
Hazard will sufficeThis
After his team just got bummed 3-0 by Sheffield Utd ? Nah
GtG 🙂
I'm quite confident with Austin this week, I'm secretly happy with all the sellings and benchings. Not sure I'd captain him over Hazard or Sanchez this week though.The Hazard 1 goal limit (in my head) makes Austin appealing..
Burnley vs Qpr has 3-2 QPR written all over it in my headI can see Burnley QPR being high scoring as well. Hazard does have an edge in that his goals are worth 5pts, and he benefits from the CS point. Newcastle are Pardew-less and hit by injuries as well. It's difficult to weigh it all up.
Yeah Haz is my captain at the moment.. I'd love to chance him blanking and get a nice differential captain score though.
Sure enough Austin will get at least one to make it a safe bet
Nice group of defenders you have there. Risky to bench Haines though
*Baines
Just got rid of Zaba for Skrtel .. Zaba was a nightmare
Keeping Baines for next week.. Everton look so bad I can do without him vs CityYeah I was just thinking of his attacking potential and pens. City seem a bit lembargo at the moment too. Bit hard to know who to bench
Lethargic
Those going with Spurs / Chelsea / Pool on their WC..have you seen their schedule over the next 2 months?
Haven't been on much the last few days.. are many using their wildcard already..?
Talking about drafts in general. Loads of RMWCTs going around. C1C, FA Cup + EL/UCL commitments mean they hardly get 2 one week breaks..it's like the Xmas period on repeat
How about a sneaky vote for me post. Everyone else does it.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/01/05/the-scout-picks-community-champion-vote-gameweek-21/?hc_page=1#hc_comment_9400817Not many votes going around this week
well why not. If you feel like it I would like more input on my post up higher on this page.
So how's my team looking for next week ? Still unsure about my def/bench order?
Adrian
Zabaleta, Hutton, Terry
Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Sigurdsson
Austin, Costa, Kane
Boyd, Naylor, Davies 0ft and 5.2 itbSeems fine as is...
The only thing that might backfire is Siggy before Boyd but it is a coin toss and with Song in Africa you probably are correct on thatCheers cap
