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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Chances of Giroud boy starting?

      very big

    Hi everyone, just wondering what price we're expecting Messi to be? And will he effect Hazard's output? Thankyou and God bless.

      Lol. Wait a bit.

      Messi is not leaving Barcelona lol..

    With Sam Vokes back is it likely Barnes will be benched?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Yep, I think so

    2. Little Frank
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Vokes is being gradually eased back, you may get another week out of Barnes but longer term Vokes is the preferred partner for Ings.

    I have: Haz, Terry and no United.

    Yaya -> ?

    a) Fab
    b) ADM
    c) Eriksen (have Kane)
    d) Sterling

    Thanks lads 😀

    1. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      ADM definitely

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 16 days ago

        Thanks mate, what are his chances of starting?

    2. janowsc
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      I have the same issue. What to do with Yaya this week? Should I take a hit to get Kane or is it not worth the wait? I'm thinking ADM, but will he start?

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 16 days ago

        Yeah, it's tough. I would be reluctant to take a hit with such a short time for it to pay off, but a minus 4 could be ok I guess.

    Anyone else thinking about doubling up on West Brom and Sunderland defence?

    In light of the articles on GK and defender rotation (and the potential WBA Pulis effect), I'm looking at the following back 7:

    Foster Panti
    Terry Clyne Wisdom Vergini Hutton

    Would double up for strong fixtures, or spread the love with one GK/def from each team otherwise.

    Thoughts?

    1. RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      MY WC back seven is at the moment:

      Foster Panti
      Terry Clichy Cresswell Wisdom Dummett

      I feel happy to double up with one but not both

      1. dush64
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 16 days ago

        That was my thought too. But looking at WBA and AVL (the other two rotating DEFs), the team that rotates with them best is SUN (way better than other options).

        My have another look and avoid too many double ups.

    2. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      PvA best Sunderland option

    3. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      I went with no doubling which can be done while rotating.

      I might double South but not WBA and Sun. IMO GL

    What to do with my free with 3.7 in the bank? Have no idea.

    Guzan (McCarthy)

    Wisdom Zab Aspi (Taylor Oshea)

    Sanchez Hazard Silva Downing (Boyd)

    Austin RVP Kane

    thanks guys :))

  7. Lallana_
    • 12 Years

    Play Downing? Or Use FT to do Yaya Toure>ADM and start ADM?

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      who is off the bench? I'm starting him but not so confident.

  8. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    not WCing for a couple weeks but here's a squad I'm tinkering with..

    Panty ᵍ Foster
    Clichy ᵈ Terry ᵈ PvA ᵈ Bertrand ᵈ Hutton
    Wally ᵐ Haz ᵐ ADM ᵐ Siggy ᵐ Boyd
    Kane ᶠ Kun ᶠ Falcao

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      You think Wally will outscore Sanchez?

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 16 days ago

        I think Wally plus the 2m+ I get from the swap will outscore Sanchez in a team that will likely see Ozil and Giroud also starting all the time..

        unless of course Sanchez plays up top in a 4-4-2 of sorts which I doubt

        1. Birds of Prey
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 16 days ago

          according to this site Giroud not nailed.

          1. Shifty
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 16 days ago

            Giroud is nailed on. End of discussion.

          2. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 16 days ago

            they're wrong. Wenger didn't even want Welbeck on loan, let alone permanently

        2. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years

    Messi is not leaving Barcelona 😆

    1. FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      People actually believed he was?

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 16 days ago

        yep lol

  10. Teror
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    ADM or Chadli? Leaning towards Chadli as ADM has been out injured for time and was looking poor before that injury.

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      so was the whole squad..he will link up brilliantly with Falcao and RVP now

  11. King Huth
    • 13 Years

    Any help out this team? was doing really well but couple recent PUNTs have been backfiring... caps one are concern and * are the one i really wanna take out... who should i deal with first?

    guzan mcarthy

    TOURE clyne hutton wisdom caulker*

    sanchez YAYA silva downing hazard

    rooney austin* benteke

    0.0 ITB 2FT

    Replacement ideas?

    Yaya --> ADM/Walcott/Sterling ??

    Other of interest: Trippier + Ings...

    Thanks for your help!!

    1. Jay_
        11 years, 16 days ago

        Yaya > Chadli and either
        Austin to Ings or Toure to Terry

        Next week Downing to AdM

      • Birds of Prey
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 16 days ago

        Guzan and Hutton is a rough double after this week.

        Clyne inj possibly

        yaya/AV player> AdM +1.5 itb

        then maybe DDG or Courtois

        1. Birds of Prey
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 16 days ago

          or Yaya > Fab

          1. Birds of Prey
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 16 days ago

            and save a ft and fix keeper following week. gl

    2. Jay_
        11 years, 16 days ago

        Has anyone from this forum ever made it very far in the FPL cup ? And has any 2 regulars on here ever drawn each other ?

        1. Birds of Prey
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 16 days ago

          I've lost the last 2 years by a combined 4pts. I'm curious too how far has someone got?

      • EmreCan Hustle

        Good morning DZ.

        Current front 8;

        YYT Hazard Sanchez Downing Boyd
        Rooney Austin Kane
        1FT, 4.5m.

        YYT>

        A) Fab
        B) Wally
        C) Silva
        D) ADM
        E) Sterling?

        Thanks.

        1. Birds of Prey
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 16 days ago

          A C D in that order. imo

      • Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 16 days ago

        Best move here chaps?

        A) Zaba/Chambers -> Trippier
        B) Hart -> Heaton
        C) Eriksen -> Chadli

        Bank 0.1m, 2 FT

        Hart
        Terry, Zaba, Wisdom
        Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Eriksen
        Costa, Kane, Austin

        Elliot, Downing, Hutton, Chambers

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 16 days ago

          B

        2. Jay_
            11 years, 16 days ago

            Any 2 of those are good moves , it's shame A and C didn't leave enough itb for Downing to AdM would have been perfect

            1. Jinswick
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 16 days ago

              Yeah, A & C leave me 0.2m short of Downing -> Santi or Austin -> Giroud. Annoying.

              1. Birds of Prey
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 16 days ago

                I picked up Cazorla he's now on pens and Giroud might still be in the doghouse ( I smell a halftime sub-in).

          • Shifty
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 16 days ago

            B I guess but I don't like that switch, don't really rate Burnley's defence.

            They didn't rotate at all during the festive period and I think they will start to tire and will def be in a relegation battle no matter what.

            1. Jinswick
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 16 days ago

              Cheers Shifty, it truth I don't really like any of them but with 2 FT I need to use at least one.

              How about Hart & Chambers -> Lloris & Debuchy

              I'm WCing after GW22 so only 2 weeks to consider.

              1. Shifty
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 16 days ago

                I think I replied before that I would just do Chambers > Debuchy if long term but if 2 weeks...

                Hart > Courtois? Don't see Chelsea conceding against Newcastle or Swansea.

                1. Jinswick
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 15 Years
                  11 years, 16 days ago

                  Already have 3 CHE lads and I don't have the cash for just a Chambers -> Debuchy switch 🙁

                  1. Shifty
                    • 12 Years
                    11 years, 16 days ago

                    Hmm tough one. Probably Hart > Heaton then if you want to make a transfer for a player who plays...otherwise Chambers>Ald even if you bench Ald this week...then have 2 FTs to take a couple of punts next GW before wildcarding in 22.

                    1. Shifty
                      • 12 Years

          Why is van aanholt an option again ?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 16 days ago

            Cheap, attacking and with has fixtures. i.e. the holy trinity

            1. Jinswick
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years

                11 years, 16 days ago

                haha ok thanks. Was he injured before?

            • 12 Years
            11 years, 16 days ago

            because he scored midweek.

            that aside, he looked good before his injury

          3. Birds of Prey
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 16 days ago

            scored in the cup Sat. Gonna rise I bet.

          Guzan Given

          Hazard Fabergas Sanchez Silva Adm
          Giroud Kane Ings

          That's it I'm done! For now anyway

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 16 days ago

            don't have Guzan in a WC team

          2. Birds of Prey
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 16 days ago

            Guzan gonna get hammered http://totalfpl.com/ worst fix's for next 5 games

            might not double South rotate Wisdom w/? or Alder>3.9 lokks like you want to play a 3-5-2 so I might also Ings> Barnes unless Vokes is going to start which is still down road. Then upgrade Giroud. IMO GL

        5. KeepCalm
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 16 days ago

          Is it wise to take a hit to bring in ADM or Silva for Downing

          Im benching downing and playing Hutton/Zaba anyways

          1. WipWapJaws
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 16 days ago

            I wouldnt

          2. Birds of Prey
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 16 days ago

            prob not if you are benching him if you get Silva-AdM who sits then?

            1. KeepCalm
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 16 days ago

              Probably Hutton will sit. Zaba has more attack potential

        6. WipWapJaws
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 16 days ago

          Who is likely to cover Yaya while he's away?

          Sorry if this has already been covered

          1. KeepCalm
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 16 days ago

            Lampard will play more I reckon

        7. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 16 days ago

          Decent chance of Chambers starting against STO?

          Flamini, Ramsey and Ox are doubts so we are short in the double pivot.

          1. Shifty
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 16 days ago

            I swear I'm going to move away from a 3-5-2 when I use the WC...but thoughts on starting and bench order?

            Guzan
            Terry P.Jones Hutton
            Sanchez Hazard Silva Sigurdsson
            Costa Kane Austin

            Downing, Clyne, Wisdom

            Cheers folks.

              wisdom should be 1st sub...rest looks good..

            2. Jinswick
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              11 years, 16 days ago

              Haha, sabotage!!

              Looks good - my only change would be your defender order. Wisdom has a plum fixture so I think I'd be starting him. SOT are the best team defensively in the league and Clyne offers a very good attacking threat. If fit I would probably start them both over P Jones and Hutton

              1. Jinswick
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 15 Years
                11 years, 16 days ago

                Oops. just realised SOT are away. In that case I think I'd start Wisdom and have P Jones as 1st defensive sub

              2. Shifty
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 16 days ago

                Thanks! That's the price of a decent 15 I guess. Going to leave quite a few points on my bench this week 😎

          Am I missing something?

          Ings has A form in the watchlist, yet there are several strikers that have outscored him the last 6 GW's and he hasnt scored over 5 points once in his last 7 games.

            probably fixtures tip it in his favour but for those with Austin already, i wouldn't pair him with Ings. Relying on QPR and Burnley for 2 striker spots is a disaster.

              Fixtures are future though, form is past.

                which is what it puts him higher up the watchlist right? That's where I'm getting at. The watchlist takes into account potential as well as history.

                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 16 days ago

                  "Ings has A form in the watchlist"

                  Jack was talking about his form rating, not his actual position on the list.

              true that

          I swear I'm going to move away from a 3-5-2 when I use the WC...but thoughts on starting and bench order?

          Guzan
          Terry P.Jones Hutton
          Sanchez Hazard Silva Sigurdsson
          Costa Kane Austin

          Downing, Clyne, Wisdom

          Cheers folks!

          Seems like everyone on here is convinced Di Maria will start.

            This is the only question I need answering before this GW starts. What do you think?

            1. Lallana_
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 16 days ago

              I honestly don't know. He has plenty of time to get fit for next gameweek but who does LvG drop? Mata? He's been doing pretty well.

          2. Jay_

              RMT thinks he won't , I know people knock it but twice this season it has been right for me in big calls

              1. FPLEL
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 16 days ago

                Why wouldn't he start? Is he still carrying a bit of an injury?

              2. Lallana_
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 16 days ago

                LvG went on a nice run when Di Maria was injured. He's a great player but I think he'll ease him in.

            Play Bertrand (mun) or PVA (LIV)

            Gomis nailed on ?

              I actually heard he was leaving swansea...

            @ Shifty, what's the thinking behind starting Hutton over Wisdom?

            1. Angin out the Begović
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 16 days ago

              I think thats a 50/50 to be but i like Wisdom more

            2. Shifty
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 16 days ago

              I thought WBA were playing away. I shall right that wrong and start Wisdom since I already have Guzan 😆 Not sure what to do with Clyne though

          6. Ravager

            Panti (Guzan)

            Kane Costa Austin

              do you mean Forster? he rotates with Hamer
              https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mMrxb451yZkEyGzLHoStfiWA0MBz6aY9d4bygxgKxOU/edit?pli=1#gid=34946745

              is Davies nailed--nice at 4.4 but there is also Yedlin coming in and he played 15 mins

              what about a 4.2 like Cameron or PvA or 4.4 McNair

              who is 5th mid?

                sorry meant Smalling but maybe not nailed either.

            Just saw Gerrard scored a brace. Well done to the guy who had bet tenner at 17/2. Enjoy your ill-gotten wealth 😀
