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

    Pick 1:
    1 - Clyne (5.7)
    2 - Bertrand (5.7)
    Thanks.

    the winter wild card, when is it expiring?
    GW 23 is ending feb first. is it to late to use it after gameweek 23?

  3. agueroooooney
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    Will ADM get many minutes this gameweek?

    Current team:

    Pants

    Hutton - Wisdom - Mee

    Sanchez - Fab - Haz - Sterling

    Kane - Giroud - Austin

    (Forster ------ ADM - PVA - Alderweireld)

    Currently have ADM as first sub as I'm unsure if he'll play much, any other suggestions for benching?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Done the same!

    2. jernej93
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      My benching dilemma: Austin, Sterling, Kane or ADM 🙂

      Leaning towards Sterling

  4. FEASTER
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    How is my WC looking? Any glaring mistakes?

    De Gea (Hamer)
    Terry Bertrand Alderweireld (Hutton PVA)
    DiMaria Fab Hazard Chadli (Boyd)
    Falcao Austin Kane

    This would leave me with the funds to move either Kane or Austin to Kun in a few weeks. Good to go, or do I need to sacrifice elsewhere (probably Falcao) to keep Sanchez?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Had the same for a while, but doubts on Man U game time for 2 big hitters put me off.

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Falcao => Kun. Already have ADM. Maybe Chadii => Siggy as Kane is on fire.

    3. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      ADM and Falcao seems like overkill, Man U aren't exactly prolific at the moment. Also Austin's fixtures look bleak and he has lost form.

  5. Hernanred
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    Best midfielder for one week only? Not Hazard or Sanchez...

    1. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Chadli

    2. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Silva

  6. Van Dal
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    I can actually see a few big names dropped for Chelsea v Newcastle.

    Azpi, Courtouis, and Costa at risk.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Would be hilarious if that happened

    2. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Given Man City have closed the gap, I can't see Jose resting players in the league.

    3. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Costa and Cortouis are not going to get dropped

  7. Crouch Potato!
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    It appears the deal to sign Zarate on loan to QPR has now been completed,

    http://www.claretandhugh.info/zarate-on-his-way-as-qpr-agree-finances/?

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

      they should jus do it on permanent basis since Big Sam already said Zarate aint good enuff!

      1. Crouch Potato!
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 16 days ago

        I think there is a lot more to matters than Zarate's ability.

    2. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Threat to Austin's game time?

      1. Crouch Potato!
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 16 days ago

        Certainly in terms of playing 90mins each game, Zamora away from home would be the the one rested I would think.

  8. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    Mmmm

    Foster/Bego

    O'Shea/Trippier Debuchy/Toby Terry

    Some lovely rotations in there...affordable as well.

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

      Foster/Adrian would do better..I guess

    Well, I wasn't doing this, this week. But there are several howlers, so I have chucked in something else:

      done! but would prefer Rooney instead of Falcao

  11. Pompel
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    Ditching Chambers or Saylor for 2 week punt before WC'ing. Which defender is the best until GW24

    a) Debuchy
    b) Trippier
    c) Dann
    d) Cresswell
    e) PvA
    f) Skrtel
    g) Other

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Rose a big gamble

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

        Thanks, that's one that escaped my attention. But not guaranteed to start, is he?

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 16 days ago

          A gamble yes but pairing him with an Arsenal defender could work to the end of the season. I think he will play if the knock he got Thursday is not serious.

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

      Between b or e for me

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

      Walker

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 16 days ago

        Do you think they are capable of a few CS's ?

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

          They Might..but Walker would be a pure punt..as he can get cs+ attacking return but on the flip side get nothing as well

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

        Spurs definitely got a chance of clean sheet next two GW - you reckon Walker should start?

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

          I think he would..he was rested for the FA Cup as well

        2. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 16 days ago

          Walker was the one they were raving about because he kept Hazard quiet and move over to room behind Rose.

    4. Pompel
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      No one fancy Dann - he scored against So'ton and twice in FA cup ?

  12. The Governor
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    Has Chelsea conceding 5 at Tottenham decreased your confidence in investing in their defence, or has it done the opposite?

    Mou will clearly not tolerate that again. Could we see Chelsea tighten up over the next few weeks?

    1. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Maybe less rotation back there I spose

      tbh - it's done neither for me. I'm happy with having Azpi, would probably prefer Terry. Chelsea will keep clean sheets

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

      Opposite, Mourinho will be driven to improve his defence

    3. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      I've no idea what to make of it. Very strange.

    4. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      It was such an anomaly of a game I'm not sure it would change my view.

    Would you bench any of this players?
    Sanchez-Hazard-Cazorla-Sigurdsson-Downing

    1. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Depends who your strikers are?

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

        Austin-Rooney-Carroll

        1. Daniel Exeter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 16 days ago

          I presume that's big ol' Andy?
          Which means benching either Downing or Carroll for me

          I'd go 352, Play Austin and Rooney

          1. Holmes
            • 12 Years

    2. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Depends on your front 3 - probably Downing.

    3. King Kohli
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Downing if you had to pick one.

    4. A.T
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Downing

    5. Holmes

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Pantilimon Foster
    O'Shea Hutton Lescott Terry Bertrand
    Boyd Fabregas Hazard Sanchez ______
    Kane ________ RVP

    Fillin the blanks. 14.6m for 1 striker & midfielder

    A) Giroud + Chadli
    B) Ings + ADM (will have to shave off 0.4m from somewhere)
    C) Any better suggestion

    1. jernej93
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Don't go with ADM, too much United cover. When Aguero is back downgrade RVP to him and bring ADM in MID 😉

      Or bring him now if you are confident about doubling MAN United

  17. jernej93
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    Foster (Myhill)
    Terry - Bertrand - Hutton - PvA - Wisdom
    Sanchez - Di Maria - Hazard - Siggy - Sterling
    Austin - Costa - Kane

    Who to bench this GW? 🙂

    When Aguero is back:

    Costa -> Aguero
    Sterling -> Fabregas
    Downgrade Austin or Sanchez if he is not in form (for some other Arsenal MID)

    Thoughts? 🙂

    1. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Bench Bertrand, PVA and Austin

  18. Patty
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    Best option for short term until aguero except giroud & kane

    1. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Costa

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

      Costa or Falcao

  19. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    Is Wisdom nailed on?

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

      Who knows which WBA defender is nailed on atm?

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

      New manager, who knows

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

        Probably not even him at this stage.

    3. grapesland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Would think so

  20. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    Who's more important to own this gw. Costa or Kane ? (shipping tekkers)

    Can get kane for austin next gw

    1. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      I would say Costa based on the their fixtures. Palace will be raring to go under Pardew and wil not be easily beaten at home.

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

        Half of newcastle squad is flagged.Can see a real mauling there

  21. FISSH
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    anyone else doubling up on Soton defence? I am really considering getting Bertrand aswell as Clyne.

    1. Christina.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Not me.

    2. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      I'd hold on until after the United game

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

        yea, won't be making the transfer this week

        1. Daniel Exeter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 16 days ago

          What is your defence?

          I probably wouldn't double up - 1 goal and it's bye bye points. Pick one.

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

            already have Clyne mate.

            Ivan, Clyne, Hutton, Bartley, Caulker

            Bartley and Caulker got to go really.

            1. Daniel Exeter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 16 days ago

              I'd probably try and get a City defender over doubling up

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

                City? na not sure about that.. Lots of rotation and not that solid.

    3. Hasselbaink Forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      They did great for me early on, had Clyne gw1 added berty gw5, they were a big part of me getting ahead in my mini league so I'm very tempted. Will obviously have at least 1.

  22. only2
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    Austin -> Kane for a FT?

    1. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      I did it early in the GW but thinking it might bite me; can see Austin scoring against his old club and Spurs won't have it easy away at Palace.

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

      MBK has it spot on, Austin just as likely to score

    3. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Both are good options (in theory) for this GW
      Seems sideways this GW

    4. grapesland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      I am holding, maybe next gw I'll do it

  23. only2
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    yeah, but then next gw qpr play man united and spurs are home to sunderland. Spurs way better team to give support too. Think it should be a good move.

    1. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Long term it's definitely a good move, QPR's fixtures are horrific, maybe save it until next GW as you've missed Kane's 2 price rises now.

  24. Tony Warner Fan Club
    • 12 Years

    Four red arrows in a row. Not a very good December ðŸ™

    Bring on the new year!

  25. FISSH
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    MAN, sto, SOT, sun, hul, TOT, ARS

    is it time to sell Austin after this gameweek? I think so..

    1. Hammers Select
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Aguero time

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

      Probably

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

      Other than Southampton, all are leaky defense.

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

        don't kid yourself mate 😆

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

          Seriously mate. Do you think United, Stoke, Sunderland etc etc have solid defense? O_o

  26. Hammers Select
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 16 days ago

    Who are your wildcard essentials?

    For me it is Cahill, Aguero and ADM

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      for real? Kun of course once back.

    2. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      A WBA defender, Aguero once he's proved his fitness, Chadli is looking irresistible at the moment.

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

        hard to choose between Kane and Chadli.

    3. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 16 days ago

      Bit surprised at Cahill

      Mine is Aguero and a solid defence rotation.

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

      Pantilimon
      Terry, Clyne, Hutton
      Hazard, Sigurdsson

    Lamela -> Eriksen or Coutinho? It's Ultimate FPL so will keep whichever one for the rest of the season..
