We cast our analytical eye over the weekend’s data after last night’s match at Selhurst Park drew a line under the numbers from Gameweek 8. Plenty of big names impressed – Arsene Wenger’s new playmaker, City’s attacking twosome, a revitalised Belgian’s display at the Bridge and a certain Uruguayan all come under the spotlight…
get out Kolo

Seems like nobody has faith in RVP anymore. Dont get it
Open Controls
Just has not been consistant.
Open Controls
Really?! He looks like a 13.9 player to you?
Open ControlsConsidering he was the man last year. Has 4 goals this year don't forget. Explosion is imminent in my opinion but don't get me wrong. Im happy people like you are thinking like that
Open Controls
Now rooney is up top as well they will share the goals , rvp is no longer the main man he shares that role with wazza.
Open ControlsI thought like it at the start of the season too. It's worked out well for me. I suspect you'll soon be wishing you'd thought like me.
Open ControlsOne of us will. 😀 Do you Suarez?
Open Controls
Cheaper strikers have scored more points, what's not to get?

Getting both Hazard and Oscar is overkill, right?
I'm not liking my Eriksen alternatives when I already have most of the likely candidates.Open ControlsI would take Hazard
Open ControlsEven if you already have Oscar?
Open Controls
Might not be a bad idea for their run of fixtures.
Open ControlsThanks, that's what I'm thinking. Can't afford to let Eriksen drop, so might have to take the plunge tonight.
Open Controls
Oscar for me. Hazard had some very lucky goals and still looks like the provider whereas Oscar is getting assists and being selfish at the same time.
Open Controls
Iv had both for 2 weeks now, as well as Suarez & sturridge. I'm up to 2,000th. Go for it.
Open Controls
2FTs. Any ideas? 0.1m in bank.
Migs - Lewis
Vidic - Dawson - Wilson - Clyne - Burner
Ozil - Eriksen - Michu - Brady - Barkley
Rooney - Sturridge - Giroud
Vidic out? Eriksen out? Perhaps Chico + Hazard/Oscar in? Any ideas?Open Controlseriksen may come good
get rid of vidic and wilsonOpen Controls
Eriksen out surely
Open ControlsOscar
WilliamsOpen Controls
Yes bar any injury
Open Controls
These are long term transfers for an eight point hit, should i go for it?
Vidic, Mata, and Eriksen > Silva, Hazard, ClyneOpen Controls
-8 doesn't seem worth it this week, hmmm idk
Open Controls
Understand why you would want to. All those players do need out.
Maybe hold back the Mata > Silva until next week and do the other 2. Mata won't drop more than 0.1 if he drops at all this week and Silva not looking like rising.Open ControlsCheers mate, do you think i should start RavoMo over Mata then?
Open Controls
Are people expecting a goalfest in City vs Chelsea...or just loading up on Chelsea players early?
Open Controls1-0 chelsea
Open ControlsA clean sheet would be nice
Open Controls
Not necessarily a goal fest but I'm expecting both teams to score.
Open ControlsNah city will have a letdown after the long euro trip
narrow chelsea winOpen Controls
the latter i'm sure. i want rid of Eriksen but have reached the max quota of Arsenal players. gettin in a chelski mid a week in advance seems sensible enough
Open ControlsLow scoring game. Any transfers in are to catch prices of Hazard, Aguero, Erikson (going the other way) I think for future pay back
Open Controlsah i see...seems like some are taking hits though.
Open Controls
City can't defend away from home.
Open Controls
there any quick 'n easy way to seek out old articles? wanna re-frisk the fixtures but goin back by older posts is slow and typing Fantasy Scout Frisking into google will likely see me red flagged by some government department and/or put on a register
Open Controlshttps://www.google.com/search?as_q=frisking+the+fixtures
will do the trick, without incurring a red flag. But I wouldn't worry, you've probably already got one.Open Controls- Open Controls
cheers fellas. helpful as always 🙂

@Evs
2nd transfer?Open Controls
Mine?
Chico in for Vidic. Not happy about that either, deffo cleanie v Stoke. (If he plays)Open ControlsI'm struggling to scrape 0.2 off my current team if I get Haz... help required.
Evra Nasty Dawson Clyne Burner
Ozil Michu Haz Barkley Ravel
Suarez Rooney Lukaka
-0.2 off.
Need to downgrade either Evra or Nastasic... GJ (for Evra) and Figueroa (for Nasty) are candidates. Both leave me with enough dosh to get Aguero for Norwich...
Thoughts?Open ControlsHave you heard anything on Ashley Williams' potential return? could do with him being fit.
Open Controls
Not been following much of the threads this week. I assume the Erikson exit strategy has been discussed a few times.
My view is that he needed to go next week anyway, why take a guaranteed price hit for one week where he may or may not play, probably will only last max 65mins if he does against a Hull team proving quite resiliant. So transfer before price rise.
So where to go?
I am fortunate in that I have funds to upgrade so my leading candidates are are Hazard, Oscar, Michu, Silva and Paulinho?
I'm leaning Hazard based on the stats plus continued form into tonight. Chelsea rotation no doubt will be a nightmare with either Oscar or Hazard but just not convinced Michu worth the money this year. Silva stats crush all of them but I want to get Aguero next week and don't particularly want to double up and may not be able to afford the Rooney > Aguero transfer if Aguero double rises which is likely.
I know a lot of Paulhino love on these boards and he is a top quality player but don'y tink he has a killer instinct in front of goal. His stats flatter to deceive fro what I have watched.
Thoughts or links to where this has been discussed before much appreciatesOpen ControlsMichu for the next 5 weeks. He had a stinker last game but prior to that he had like 5 shots against Southampton.
Open Controls
Everyone is asking about hazard or Oscar so Chelsea won't score this weekend right?
Open ControlsIts the Erikson exit strategy imo. I think a lot of people had planned transferring out Erikson after this week but not worth riding the price changes for a potential no show for Erikson
Open Controls
Pretty sure im gonna bring in Aguero for Roo before the Norwich game but am I the only one worried about his game time? Seldom plays the full 90
Open Controlsroo has stoke then fulham
big score incoming in good formOpen Controls
Who the hell knows if he's going to start with CSKA 3 days later.
Open ControlsYes for 2 reasons
1. Arsenal aside all nice fixtures for him
2. Hes has scored well despite united being dodgy so far, , so just think of his potential when they click.Open Controls
Doing the same move at the same time and will captain Aguero home to Norwich.
Aguero will get rotated from time to time. Old Arsenal aside, this has always been the reality of the big 4 clubs. The top players on form still score well despite that. Sunderland away up next after Norwich.
Difficult to lose Rooney as he is looking sharp but Aguero makes a better captain choice especially at home imo and I need someone to supplement Suarez for the harder away games such as Arsenal next weekOpen ControlsIf guaranteed 75 + mins, Im much more confident with Aguero for the armband. However, he has only played 90 mins one time this campaign. On the other hand, he is the third highest scoring player even with the limited game time... Will have a midfield of Michu Ramsey Özil Barkley and Brady so if he gets rested once in a while I will still have cover
Open Controls
I intend on doing the same transfer but the only thing is I have a nagging feeling aguero will be rested with dzeko and negredo playing Norwich over the tough European game
Open Controls
Sorry lads if been discussed before but is Vidic injured ?
Open ControlsApparently so
Open Controls
Will make the decision on Friday after Europa as I have enough cash in bank despite Collins drop.
Who to get in from Chico, Dawson and Clyne? I have Shaw alreadyOpen Controls
Don't know why I'm still holding RVP but I guess its because he only has 27% ownership now.
Plus I think he will score 5 in the next 3Open ControlsThis season is diffeenr SAF played rooney far deeper so rvp was main goal scorer.
This season rooney and rvp will share the goals , so rooney is better value.Open ControlsRooney is still playing quite deep and RVP had most of the chances against SOT and probably could of had a hat trick
Open Controlsrooney had as any chances as rvp on sat , they interchange positions.
Open Controls
Rooney could have had 2 goals and if he had scored his one on one chance it'd mean RVP would have only had 2 goals. Coulda woulda shoulda. Rooney is perfectly adequate, RVP at that price needs to be outscoring him by at least 4 points every single game.

God I hate this Oscar vs. Hazard decision, who couldn't Hazard kept to his usual potential but no points routine. He's never done anything for me when I've owned in the past but I can't help feeling drawn in again this time round.
Open Controls
After this week,
RVP and Januzaj -> Aguero and Silva for free
Ahead of NOR and sun
Looks very promising doesn't it?Open ControlsI've done it. Hazard is now a part of my team and my transfers are done. Roll on the weekend!

Hey guys, in a quandry, here's the team:
Migs - 4.0
Terry - Vidic - Dawson
Ozil - Michu - Ramsey - Lallana
Giroud - Suarez(C) - Lukaku
Bench: Brady, Coleman, Chester
1.1 in the bank 0FT
Looking to Migs>Boruc for a -4
Most guys in my mini league have Boruc and I don't think Migs will CS... Plus it will free up enough cash to buy Aguero and Benteke and Hazard in the next 2 weeks.
Opinions??? Is it worth it? Or am I good for the week.Open ControlsTell me what you think ? Have 2 ft .... I can spread the rest over the coming weeks but any good ?
