We roll out another instalment of our new weekly article for Members this evening, offering an in-depth statistical analysis of the main captaincy contenders for the Gameweek ahead. Each of the top four supply us with a player apiece this time out as we crunch the numbers to determine whether there really is an alternative to a certain Uruguayan for the armband:
I reckon Hazard will get a rest for UCL next week as already qualified.
No way you rest Hazard in this form, if games are must win.Open Controls
with his current form, mou can't afford to rest him though..they need to keep winning games
Open Controls
Thanks for assuring me guys!Haha
Open Controls
Mourinho is not so stupid to rest a player right after a performance of the season. Players need games to continue form. Once you drop a player to the bench for a rest, you might upset rhythm, consistency, fitness.
Fully expect him to start but might get taken off early depending on whether Mou wants him to start in the CLOpen Controls
Will Oscar play tomorrow?
Open Controls
I hope so
Open Controlspersonally i don't think mou will risks oscar as many midf are waiting to play eg schurrle,willian,mata,de bruyne
Open Controls
Mignolet (Boruc)
Flanagan Dawson Clyne (Coleman , Rosenior)
Ward Prowse - Ramsey - Hazard - Cabaye - Whitttingham
Aguero Suarez (Rooney)
I have 1.1 million in the bank, any tips guys?Open Controlsclyne -> to another cheapo?
Open Controls
Team for GW 15:
Mignolet
Chico - B. Turner - Vlaar - Ridgewell
Nasri - Oscar - Ozil
Lukaku - Giroud - Suarez(c)
xx - Barkley - Chester - RavMo
Still have 1 FT and 3.6m. Will bring Rooney in for Giroud next week. All set?Open Controls@no association:
i know ravel only suspended for one game..but whu has difficult fixtures coming..atm my team is:
mig
chester, terry, gabby, coleman
brady, whitts, haz, gerrard
aguero, suarez
subs: steele, rosenior, ravel, rooney
by doing ravel -> brunt, i can bench chester n play 3-5-2..the only concern is if brunt going to start or notOpen ControlsBrunt is not that effective this year, if you are going to do it, maybe try another player.
I'd keep RavMo if i erer you. He proved that he can score at Spurs & Norwich..and he's THAT attacking. Chester for me has decent fixtures ahead.. you just gotta play him this week and hope that luck favours you.Open Controlsthanx guys
Open Controls
Hey CvN, saw your comment on the last..
It's tough for me to lose ozil as he's on form atm so im still sticking,
i think you have spare cash to get rambo right? that maybe enough arsenal cover me thinks..
Btw brunt is nailed on imo.Open Controlsi know..i've been tinkering with my teams for a few hours before the price rise..should've done oscar -> hazard last gw instead of gerrard based on fixtures (liv has 2 home fixtures,while chelsea plays 2 away games)..only has 0.7 in the bank as i upgrade clyne -> coleman..wba has 3 nice fixtures coming
Open ControlsGerrard is not a bad pick as well..
I might be wrong but I got Ivan and had enough of his potential points so shipped him out and got ward (yes I'm still loving and bragging my genius move) so for me i'd like to squeeze in a big gun and maybe terry + brady/witt out for a chep defender +upgrade mid could you do tricks with it?Open Controlsatm i'm keeping terry as chelsea has 3 nice fixtures in the next 4..though i'm hoping that mou will not rest him..brady also going to be out of my team soon..cheers mate for the suggestion
Open Controls
Im going to risk playing Schurrle over Amalfitano this weekend? Is that a bad idea?!!?
Open Controls
Walcott to Yaya?
Open ControlsYaya's price puts me off. I have him though and not that happy about it for some reason!
Open Controls
Good to go this week or does this require a hit.No FT an 0.1 in bank
Marshall
Ward Dawson Zaba
Haz Barkley Sess Ramsey
Lukaku Aguero(VC) Suarez(C)
Subs:Davis,Chester,Collins,Ravel.Open Controlsi think its fine, you has your bench in case any player not playing
Open Controls
2 FTs and not too sure what to do with it. 0.6 itb.
Panti Lewis
GJ Dawson Fonte Wilson Faye
Ozil Ramsey Oscar Sess Ravel
Suarez Kun Lukaku
A. Oscar > Hazard
B. Oscar > Lampard & Dawson > 7.2(Terry/Zaba?)
C. Anything else?
Ta.Open ControlsKeep a transfer for next week, hazard is 9.7 now can u still afford him? Maybe work on defence
Open ControlsArgh..0.1 short. I paid my price for overlooking FPL for the last 2 days.. 🙁 Do you think Wilson will get the starting spot again? Fix him or Dawson?
Open Controls
can't afford it now.. 🙁
Open Controls
i just do oscar -> lamps as you can't afford haz
Open Controlshardly thinking about it..
otoh, if i do Dawson > 5.1 (Williams, O'Shea, etc.) i can still get Hazard this week for free. How about that?Open Controlsi like williams..have plan to get him in actually, but get coleman instead to catch the price rise
Open ControlsGood for you.
I found another route! Leiws > Gazzaniga to fund that 0.1m.. How about that now? 😀Open Controlsthen you will have gazz, fonte, panty n aguero playing against each other..
Open Controls
see my reply to Cruizer above, mate. How about that? 😀
Open ControlsI like the idea but
the thing with dawson a bit of easy fixtures but he might lose his place
the thing with fonte bad fixtures ahead but he's nailed on..
errr...ok Dawson out.. 😀
Who do you fancy getting?Open ControlsWilliams.
But i found another route for Hazard.. ! Lewis > Gazzaniga to fund that 0.1m.. How about that now? 😀Open ControlsI'd stay clear from it. I was thinking the excess money on the first plan was to at least upgrade panty or lewis.. Thoughts?
Open ControlsSorry mate, just did it. The excess money is to get the best players.:P
I know my current GK pairing is disgusting, but thin i can fix it with the Winter WC.Open Controls
Broke and low on options.
How do we feel about Nolan>Redmond(NOR)? Will he continue to start?Open Controlsbrunt 😀
Open Controls
sad news 🙁
Open Controls
Hey... Plzz rate my team - thoughts on any weaknesses???
Howard, gazzaniga
Jags, mertz, walker, gabbidon, clyne
Yaya Ramsey hazard cabaye jonjo
Roo aguero Suarez
TksOpen ControlsI won't Double up EVE Defense no matter how good they are. I might be wrong. It's either Coleman or Howard atm for me.
The rest is good, a few template players + punts.Open Controls
I have exactly 11 to pLay this week. 1ft and not sure if I should use or save it.
Migs
Terry - Ward - B.Turner
Hazard - Özil - Ramsey - Lallana
Suarez - Aguero - Lukaku
Sub: Lewis, RavMo (susp), Clyne (doubt) , Vlaar (doubt)
I can do Lallana -> Yaya. But not sure if it helps this week.Open ControlsSave it imo.
Open ControlsIt's Southampton vs Man City this week.
Switching Lallana -> Yaya might be a sad move if Lallana gets something from this match.
Should I wait a week?Open Controls
Save the free transfer. Yaya can wait a week.
Open Controls
Looks good for the week. 0-0 Cardiff v Palace and you're golden.
Open Controls
Vertonghen not likely to feature this weekend?
Open ControlsJust a case of needing to know if he will play or not.
Open Controls
In a jam...
Migs
Zabs, Terry, Merte (ward, chester)
Nolan, Gerrard, Ramsey, Cabaye
Lukaku, Aguero, Suarez
2FT, .1m Bank
Nolan > Redmond
Zab > Evra
(bank 1.9m for Mert > Coleman GW 16)Open ControlsGet rid of Nolan asap.
Evra is really an enigmatic FPL pick atm. If you at his History, he's a steal now at 6.3. But i'd avoid now since United D is THAT inconsistent.Open ControlsDefinitely have Nolan as my priority here. With Man U's fixtures I feel a bit better about him. Better than Zabs as a rotation risk+fixtures. Merte>Coleman most likely for 16.
Open Controls
Howard if you're not going Coleman/Jags way.
Open Controls
My draft league team for the weekend. Am I good to go? Thoughts and opinions appreciated as ever...
Mignolet
Coleman Terry Evans
Walcott Mirallas Amalfitano Hernandez Gerrard (c)
Lambert Crouch
Not used: Brady Deulofeu Schurrle Shawcross Vertonghen Bony RatOpen Controls
Hey what you think of transfers Oscar, Clyne >> Hazard and Chester?? 1FT, 0.3 ITB
Pants (Mcgregor)
Coleman, Moxey Baker (Clyne, Olsson)
Oscar Yaya Ozil Ramsey (Whits)
Suarez, Remy (Rooney)
Happy to sit on Rooney and Olsson for the week. Will get lukaku after gunners game as i think it'll be tight and possible 2 pointer from himOpen ControlsI can't stop thinking Oscar will be good to go and Hazard will get a rest. Will be a sad day for many.
Open Controls
Clyne to who next week?
A) Distin (double up on Everton defence)
or
B) Koscielny
*other defenders are Coleman, Terry, Luna & ChesterOpen ControlsKoscielny I think.
Open Controls
Hello gentleman? Smart move to swap Ozil for Hazard and with the funds left, transfer Remy for Giroud? -4 hit...
Open Controls
Do Ozil to Hazard. Save the -4 and keep Remy one more week. Giroud will start again Saturday.
Open Controls
I'd keep giroud for now.. he was rested so will start... can get any touch in the box to finish off the hard work from Ramsey, Ozil, etc..
Ozil to Hazard isn't going to get you much more but if you have Ramsey then I can see the reason to go for HazzOpen Controls
ozil in or out for this game week??
thinking of bringing in hazard??
any advise
team:
pantimillion
ivanovic distin fonte (gabbidon)
ramsey ozil toure barkley
suarez aguero remyOpen ControlsSeems a sideways, knee jerk move to be honest.
Open Controlswht about barkley???
in or out??
thinking about shelveyOpen Controlsbarks had a good game against utd I'd hold off .... shelvey wont get you much more except a 3 game ban
Open Controls
exactly both Haz and Ozil will get more or less the same in the short term... but as you have Rambo and you need some attacking Chelsea it's worth it for the long term no doubt.
On a free it has it's meritsOpen Controls
Szcz
Caulker, Walker, Terry, Chico, (Coleman?)
Brady, Ramsey, Cabaye, Gerrard (Morrison)
Suarez, Lukaku (Rooney)
Do I play Coleman and if so who does he replace??
Advice appreciated 🙂Open Controls
Oh Dear.. with Wanyama out Southampton will just not be the same defensively. Time to bail out
Open ControlsNeed to take a hit to put 11 players out.. team is
Marshall (Davis)
Terry GJ Gabbidon (Clyne Rosenior)
Hazard Gerrard Ramsey Brady (Ravel)
Suarez Aguero (Rooney)
1 million in the bank
0 FT
How do i do it?
A) Rosenior to Burner
B) Ravel to Redmond/Whittingham
*Considering the player i'm removing wont start it is equivalent to a 2 point hitOpen ControlsYeah.. only problem would be the doubling up with marshall. though next week i'll be doing Clyne to Distin so i'll rarely need Gabb/Burner anyway.. Ravel is a good option once back i agree
Open Controls
why do you say its a 2 pt hit? You will be deducted 4 pts no matter if he starts or not .. ?
Open Controls🙂 .. as in the player i'm gettin in is gonna get 2 points for playin(unless he concedes 2/gets a yellow). since i was gonna get 0 in that position anyway it accounts to a -2 point loss even if the player i get in does nothing at all
Open Controlseither way A is better Car have Pal .. 0-0 all over it .... or 3-3 ... only you double up on car def ..pity vlaar is injured
Open Controls
C) Pozuelo ha. My tip to keep his place once Michu & Bony back. 4.2mil powerr
Open ControlsYup.. but they've got a very important Europa game b4 the norwich game so can see rotation in that and then there's EVE che avl MCI mun.. meh. Can afford my man Pablo but decided to skip the swansea mid entirely
Open ControlsI don't know the Swans formation but they have Shelvey, Michu Bony De guzman, Dyer and Rangel ... off the top of my head ... seriously is this Poz guy good enough to keep his place? If so he's on my watchlist
Open Controls
Howard/Kos/Coleman or Scez/Jags/Coleman?
From GW16 on.Open ControlsWay to mix it up, like a rubix cube
Open Controls2nd one. I'm getting Howard n Distin due to budget constraints. Perhaps wait till WC for ARS def
Open ControlsArs do have tough fixs but both options are 2 eve and 1 ars all defenders. I'd say the first one, Howard gives you a great option for goalkeeper,and I'd rate Kos over Jags, not by much ... the more you look at it the less difference ther is though
Open Controls
What did people think of Coutinho's performance against Norwich? Didnt see much of him on the MOTD highlighta although his stats in general and for that game are very impressive.
Open Controls
id bank my money on gerrard rather than coutinho. gerrard almost had a goal at least. whereas coutinho is just creating em, assister to the assist. if that assist is converted that is
Open ControlsThanks for the feedback. He had a goal against Everton and the assist against Norwich. He may explode and last season taught us that he is very consistent at home with points
Open Controls
Nelson Mandela
R.I.P.Open ControlsWanyama out for 6 weeks. That would, for sure, hugely impact The Saint defense.
What's about their attacking? Will it be impacted too?
I just decided to keep Lallana for another week vs Man City, but not too sure now.Open ControlsSouthampton wont keep a CS till Jan without him and Boruc.. He is key to their defense. With Schneiderlin out too i'd have no faith whatsoever in their attack or defense
Open Controls
Hey Guys!
This is my first ever post to the site, but i have been an avid follower since last season. I dunno what took me so long to get involved but here i am! My defence has broken my heart for the past 2 weeks.. any suggestions how to fix this...
(Boruc), Migs
Baker, Flanagan, Collocini, Coleman, (O' Brien)
Walcott, Lampard, Ramsey, Brady, (Januzai)
Aguero, Suarez, (Rooney)
1 FT, 0.9 in the bank.
I know i should dump my liverpool defence but i have something telling me they'll come good this weekend!!Open Controls
I would remove Baker this week and Flanagan the other...Get a Crystal Palace defender they are getting the CS...
Open ControlsBaker or Flanagan to Gabbidon/Burner for this week
you might be able to scrape through with that
make sure your midfielders are yr first subsOpen ControlsCheers mate! Palace defense is definitely on the cards, i'll give flanagan one more week and then he's out! I would probably have gotten Hazard in also but i don't want to hop on that bandwagon just yet.. i'm praying Wally will give me a serious differential... big gamble i know!
Open Controls
10 years, 5 months agoAs I Hazard owner,I'm getting a bit itchy about whether he'll start tomorrow or not.He is a due a rest and Mourinho's penchant for rotation wont help
