Gameweek 8 saw a handful of the key Fantasy targets produce some of their best performances of the season. Our members area is brimming with statistics to help piece together the story behind them but, as always, here’s our summary of just some of the figures that leap out.
Merts for now. Think Bould likes the height. Reminds him of himself
Open Controls
I had made my mind to ship Michu & Suarex this week. Should i look to keep Michu now he seems to be playing upfront? Bare in mind i also have Routledge
Open Controls
Bego
Baines, Wilson, Saylor
Cazorla, Bale, Sterling, Nolan
RvP, Ba, Berba
Mig, Hughes, Gorkss, Pienaar*
talk to me people!
*idiotOpen Controls
Looks set to me.
Ba or Caz (C)?Open ControlsBa at the moment.
might even risk Nolan again as it could be his last game for me.Open ControlsDon't push your Nolan luck!
Ba is looking dangerous at the moment, he will probably be my (C) this week to, unless Tevez becomes 100% nailed on to start vs Swansea.Open Controls
How will we know about Tevez though? If he gets no time in CL?
Ba could have scored with a bit of luck, even with 1 player short.
Bloody OG.Open Controls
yeah. only WC'd last week so i planned a little in advance.
looking to bring in Morrison, Sagna and Crouch in the coming weeks.Open ControlsI almost wildcarded last week. Sooo glad I didn't because the draft I was mainly considering involved getting rid of Mata, Noble and Tevez!
Open ControlsCrouch in for Berba?
Open Controls
Pienaar will play.
Open ControlsThey must appeal the card Sporting.
Open Controls
Christina, following some of your posts..
I'm in agreement regarding RVP to Rooney
After watch them both i just think Rooney is just more capable of points plus cheaper. With the transfer I can then get aguero in as well.Open ControlsYeah, thing is I don't know if we will be any wiser on Citeh strikers after this weeks CL.
Open Controls
So many options... not sure which one to do!?! I wish I could do them all but there's not enough Willy to go around!
A) Ruddy -> Begovic
B) Jussi -> Begovic
C) Hazard -> Mata and Suarez -> Rooney (-4)
D) Barfa -> Mata
E) Suarez -> Ba
F) Suarez -> CrouchOpen Controls
All, my team is -
Foster Begovic
Baines Hughes Demel Clyne Cuellar
Sterling Hazard Guthrie Cazorla Michu
VP Aguero Berbatov
With 0.8 in the bank my plan was Michu to HBA, seem like a good idea? If not how can i get Newc coverage and what other options can you see?Open ControlsFoster ---------> McCarthy
Berbatov --------> BaOpen ControlsInteresting actually. Just gutting that I oonly got Berbs last week.
Open ControlsBegovic can play right through to January WC.
Ba will outscore Berbatov through to January WC.
Easy decision in my opinion.Open ControlsOr, if you don't want to do the GK move, would Michu -----> Walters give you enough spare cash to do Berba ------> Ba?
Open ControlsThanks mate, defintly food for thought.
Open Controls
Yeah, Michu to Ben Arfa seems solid enough to me. 3 nice home fixtures in the next 4 should see him pick up the points.
Open Controls
am I missing something here, why is everyone in such a rush to get rid of berbatov?
Open ControlsIts not a rush to sell berbs, i only just got him, but im thinking Ba is great and will outscore berbs
Open Controls
thinking of the following:
baker ramirez michu out
shawx noble nasri in
4 pts hit
yay or nay?Open Controls
Keep Michu, he's a forward now and will score goals. I almost regret getting him out now.
Baker+Ramirez out yes. ShawX Noble template transfer, yay.Open Controlsbasically i want to take a punt on nasri in silva's absence
he might be a huge differential
also intersted in stoke fixtures
so noble is mostly to raise funds
option 2:
nasri kightly and clyne in
baker ramirez and michu outOpen Controls
Silva not absent anymore. See Twitter feed. 😉
Open Controls
dont get Noble for a hit... he will get about 4 goals over the entire season
Open Controls
agree, probably that's the case lol, if for consistency go for nolan long term but of course + 1.0 extra which worth it if can get the funds though ....
Open Controls
Not a single comment from last page, so.. (sorry)
Bego/Jaask
Jenk, Raf, Baines, Demel, Davies
Caz, Haz, Michu, Sterling, Pienaar
RVP, Tevez, Lambert
2FT. Michu -> Walters / Morrison? and Lambert -> Berba / Crouch? Pretty please!Open Controls
Had my best gameweek of the season so far. Now I mustn't squander this upturn in fortunes...
Begovic/Jussi
Davies/Gorkss/Baines/Demel/McAuley
Michu/Sterling/Nolan/Cazorla/Ben Arfa
RVP/Tevez/Berbatov
Only one FT this week - Michu has done me well but thinking of ditching given possible ban and tougher games.
Only question is for whom? Bale or Mata??? Or some 3rd option I haven't even considered.Open ControlsBen Arfa's on too many 2's this season. He can shine every now and then but he doesn't have as an advanced role this season as last.
For you I'd say
Barfa + RvP out
Mata + Rooney inOpen Controls
So David Silva might be in against Ajax. So I think he will be available next match against Swansea.
Worth to bring in? I can not fit City Strikers into my front three.Open ControlsSo
Should I bench Fletcher vs Stoke away and instead play Sterling vs Everton away?
Everton looked a bit out of sorts even up until Pienaars red card. Without Fellaini they're an easier team to meet. Then again, Fellaini is due back on Sunday..
Thoughts?Open Controls
Whats the situation with Dempsey and Siggy, are they competing for the same spot?
Open Controls
Morning chaps. Anyone putting any faith in this story about Ade wanting out:
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4600676/Emmanuel-Adebayor-feels-his-Tottenham-days-are-numbered.html
Obviously that would make Defoe infinitely more ownable.Open Controls
For the next 6 GW's
A) Hughes
B) Simpson/Saylor
C) WilsonOpen ControlsFirst prize:
Cuellar/Simpson/WilsonOpen Controls..all 3
Open Controls
Also i have Begovic.
Cuellar is a decent option as well. Now choose will ya!Open Controls
b and c have equally "easy" fixtures try to fit both in your team
Open Controls
Gotta be B)
Open Controls
Hello!
SaylorOpen Controls
Gonna find it incredibly hard to hold onto Giroud this week with so many amazing fixture runs for Ba and Crouch.
Open Controls
Giroud has the nicest fixture out of those three this week. Gotta keep him for one week longer at least?
Open ControlsRight! I am seriously considering bringing in Crouch for Suarez
Open Controls
i just did that
Open Controls
I'll probably get Ba in for Berba GW11
Open Controls
What to do with my 2 frees??
Foster Bego
Baines Rafa Taylor.S Demel Nelsen
Michu Santi Pienaar HBA Sterling
Agureo RVP Berb
cheersOpen ControlsWhere are China Mag and Heco when you need them!
Open ControlsThe cavalry arrived!
Open ControlsRight. NewC defence? Saylor nailed on? Worth 0.2 more vs. Simpson(is he nailed on?)
or should i save some more dosh and go Wilson?
Also how bad does Colo's injury look? Puts me off the NewC defence if he aint fit.Open ControlsThese being my options.
Bego Jussi
Rafael Gibbs Clyne Gorkss Baines
Yaya Michu Pienaar Sterling Santi
RVP Tevez Berbatov
0.7M
A) Rafael > Saylor + cash for midfield upgrade
B) Rafael > Wilson + more cash for midfield upgrade (already have Bego)
C) Rafael,Tevez > Kun(c) + Wilson (-4)
D) Pienaar/Michu > Lennon
E) Rafael,Yaya > Bale, NewC/Stk defOpen ControlsColo wasn't fully fit prior to the game - I think that substitution was just a precaution - can't see any reports of him being out.
Simpson, S Taylor and Santon are all nailed on when fit. Simpson will get you the odd assist whereas I'd expect S Taylor to score 3-5 goals over the course of the season so I think he's worth the extra cash.
Comparing Newcastle defence to Stoke is tough - they're both great options at the moment. I've got Begovic and S Taylor at the moment and am quite likely to go for shawcross / wilson for C Clark next week.Open Controls
Feel like I should be captaining Cazorla this week but I can't bring myself to take the armband off van-Persie. Thoughts?
Open ControlsNeither for me.
Open Controls
Jass , Cerny
Baines , S Taylor, Demel , Rangel , Clyne
Santi, Hazard , Bale, Kacan, Pienaar
RVP, Jelavic, Lambert
2 free transfers and 0.7m in bank.. what shld i do ? any advice..Open ControlsRangel --> Stoke defender for sure.
Not sure what I'd do with the other, but depending on what you fancy will determine whether you go for Wilson / Shawcross / Huth.Open Controls
Have to save a transfer this week right? Be stupid to even consider wasting a free I think.
Begovic
Baines Gibbs Gorkss
Cazorla Puncheon BenArfa Morrison
RVP Giroud Aguero(c)
Foster Sterling Rafael CuellarOpen ControlsSave it. I would probably start Sterling over Puncheon/Morisson.
Save.Open ControlsAye save the transfer mate. No point in making a transfer for the sake of it.
Open Controls
How to solve the Yaya problem? Keep him for next week and then out? .2 to spend.
Open Controls
Hmm, nearly ready to hit confirm. Liking the coverage! Looking good? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/688/lookingoodf.png/
Open ControlsCan you ladies please join me on the NEW POST...
Open Controls
Not looking good for this week but made up some ground on the league leader. My predicted version of his team for next week:
Mig
Cuellar McCartney Gibbs
Hazard Bale Michu Santi
Ba Tevez Fletch
Me:
Jassk
McAuley Rafael Baines
Hazard Santi Michu Sterling
RVP Berba Giroud
I've no bank monies but that defence isn't looking too hot and I don't have/can't afford a Gareth Bale with one transfer.
RVP out for one week for a Tevez/Aguero and Michu to Bale for four points?
GW 10 swap Hazard for Mata
GW 11 swap Aguerp back out for Robin
Yes?Open Controls- Open Controls
How does Routledge & Suarez > Walters & Ba sound for a 4 point hit?
Exact money but none look set for a price change anytime soon so will hold out as long as possible to do itOpen Controlsalright chaps,
Vorm - (Federici)
Baines - Hughes - Walker - (McCartney) - (Stam)
Cazorla - Dyer - Morrison - Noble - (Pienaar)
RVP - Aguero - Berbatov
1 FT 0.9 bank
thinking Federici to Begovic, Dyer to Walters for a 4 point hit?
CheersOpen Controls
11 years, 7 months agoWho is Verm's more nailed on partner... Mert or koscielny? My feeling is they may be rotated based on opposition
