The final instalment in our series of Big Numbers articles focussing on Gameweeks 1-3 is rolled out this evening. After assessing the fortunes of defenders and midfielders, we now turn our attentions to the men up front – Chelsea and Southampton’s summer signings come under assessment, as do Everton’s in-form budget striker and the contrasting fortunes of a pair of Manchester-based front men.
He's fixture proof?
just thinking could get another striker with easier fixtures for the next 2 weeks,,, although i have aguero before his price went up by .1 .. make it harder to get back into the squad..
I'm thinking about bringing in Aguero for a -4... 😯
this
Fixtures don't have too much importance since someone has to score in those games.
When Agueros fit he can score against anyone and city will surely score goals. That Stoke result is out of their system
Telegraph game. Who should I get for Sturridge?
Can get any FORWARD OR MIDFIELDER apart from Aguero
(Got Hazard, Ramsey, Lamela, Siggy, Rooney, Costa)
I am thinking Sterling but anyone better?
Thanks
Nope, go Sterling.
Cheers Parm
Has Falcao been granted his work permit yet? I'm pretty certain he hasn't got one.
Why are you asking then?
I'm pretty certain doesn't make me 100% certain and would like to know. Usually like most people I ask questions to get an answer.
Will definitely get sorted before the weekend.
Forgot about this!
Don't think he needs one. Got a Spanish passport or something
Every non EU player has to get a permit. He has Colombian citizenship so therefore has to have a work permit.
He was seeing about getting a "fast tracked" permit. No new yet.
*news
Sturridge>Balotelli
There are so many options right now in attack. Are those of you on wild card losing your minds? Am glad I am keeping simply because I can't choose.
There's really not, for me anyway. A lot of the names hyped up around here are a bit crazy I think.
The forwards alone are doing my head in.
I hit the wc button today. Couldn't help myself 😀 Aguero - Pelle - Welbeck all sorted. Very happy with it.
WOAH!!!
Nice price for a strong front three.
My thinking exactly 😀 And I got my perennial favorite Aguero back in where he belongs.
😯 😆
Don't like the Pelle pick if I'm honest.Good thing it's my team and not yours then 🙂 Think he's been a menace in the box and has adjusted to the Prem pretty well. With their upcoming run I think the price is right for him and I back him to go on a little run. Think that team is starting to gel. They looked wonderful at Upton Park last game.
It's a bargain if it comes off, no doubt. Was laughing at the random WC choice out of nowhere BTW, not the Pelle pick.
😀Hehe okay then 🙂
How many are actually quality options though?
Naismith definitely isn't.
How is Naismith not a quality option? 5.4 and he's the top scoring striker.
Costa MUN Aguero Balotelli
Welbeck Pelle
Naismith
Only three spots...Costa = ongoing hamstring issue
Aguero = obvious choice
MUN = Rooney or Falcao obvious
Balotelli = horrible conversion rate
Welbeck = crazy value, obvious choice
Pelle = done nothing to warrant a spot
Naismith = not even properly nailed with Europa on the horizon, properly crazy choiceCosta also has an ongoing goal scoring issue...
He won't be handed goals on a silver platter every week. Everyone seems to be forgetting that Everton were absolutely shocking.
Aguero Costa Naismith.
If Costa is injured Rooney/balo
YEP! must've changed my WC team 10 times the past week or so……still not happy with it!
Anyone think Villa will give pool a tough game now with Studge out thinking of playing Hutton over Siggy Madness ?
😆
Ahh there's always upsets ???
0-1
0:0
Joke post?
Yes, that would be a mad decision.
No SAS has to hurt Liverpool's attack surely?
SMB to the rescue
Any Liverpool-supporter should be a bit concerned at least, we lost and drew them last year.. I'm a confident and concerned supporter.. at the same time
We beat them at villa park! I don't think it'll be a goalfest on Saturday though. Will settle for a 1-0,
We did?? Hurray!
Hello guys hope all is well! rate RMWCT pleasseee!!
Fabianski/ Given
Ivanovic/Moreno/Clyne Duff/Wisdom
Sanchez/Fabregas/Sterling/Sigurdsson Boyd
Rooney/Costa/Naismith
*0.5 in the bank for potential Rooney---->Falcao move in future
i know Fabianski isn't the best goalkeeper choice this game week but i'm trying to think long term here and i havn't got Ramsey because EVERYONE has him and i'm just trying abit of a differential in Sanchez.
thanks guys!!
You will need more than .5 to do Rooney to Falcao
like, already
Don't like the fact you have to play Boyd or Naismith every week.
Sanchez to Ramsey, Rooney to Agüero.
You think Aguero is a much better pick over the next two?
Hope you have 0.6 for Rooney to Falcao ?
ok guys what about this?!
Fabianski/ Given
Ivanovic/Moreno/Clyne Duff/Wasileski
Sanchez/Fabregas/Sterling/Sigurdsson Boyd
Rooney/Costa/Naismith
*0.6 in the bank for potential Rooney---->Falcao move in futurePretty awesome actually
Any ideas with what I should do here?
Krul / Myhill
Cahill / Jones / Dummett / Wisdom / Bruce
Hazard / Mata / Eriksen / Sigurdsson / Marney
Costa / Rooney / Dzeko
2FT's and 0.5m ITB
Was definitely considering Mata ---> Sterling
But do I need to alter the front-line with Costa doubts? And Jones' injury too?
mata -> sterling is a no brainer
jones -> moreno
A) http://snag.gy/vL4NV.jpg
OR
B) http://imgur.com/tH18lPy
Thanks!Sturridge out. Mario (c) in. Job done.
For the rest of the year:
A) RvP
B) Balo
C) Rooney
D) Falcao
Is none an option?
All likely to get injured at some point so none for the rest of the year would take a punt on Balotelli this week if not go Rooney.
How worried are people about Rooney starting?
Also, is the general view still that Costa is basically fit?Not worried at all.
Re Rooney that is.
No idea on Costa as he has a hamstring injury.
Costa will play me thinks...
Rooney will definitely start. It's Falcao or RVP people have to worry about
Not worried at all. United's captain and will surely start. I'm waiting until Friday for all pressers before deciding anything though
Balotelli-Aguero-Jovetic
Who to replace Jov with? Have 1.5 itbAde and keep the 1.5.
But he's 8.6, would take me down to 1.0
I am looking for answer to this , and thinking Ade or welbeck.
I'd wait a week on Welbeck
What will the liverpool back 4 be?
Same as vs Spurs
Manquillo Skrtel Lovren Moreno
As of now.Nah skrtel won't play.
Manquillo sakho Lovren MorenoSakho has been benched for Skrtel when he has been fit.
Source for Skrtel being fit then?
This^^^
I thought it was only minor, I assumed he would be back by now. My apologies. But when all fit I stand by my deduction. 😉
Ye I prefer skrtel at the moment. Just depends if sakho can take his chance
He's still injured and Sakho kept a clean sheet
^ this
FIFA demo is finally downloaded goodnight people.
Morning chaps.
...........................Krul
................Terry, Clyne, Chester
Sigurdsson, Sterling (VC), Ramsey, Fábregas
............(C)osta, Rooney, Jovetic
Gilks, Hutton, Naylor, Albrighton.
Will wait on news regarding Costa, Jovetic, Ramsey, but am I good to save FT if all play?
Cheers.
Nice team if all play then save.
Thanks mate.
If injury doesn't force your hand, I'd save - you're in pretty decent shape for now
Yeah that's what I thought. Thanks, good to hear it from someone else!
Begovic-Myhill
Debuchy-Jones-Caulker-Hutton-Duff
Fab-Sterling-Rambo-Siggy-Marney
Costa-Rooney-Jovetic
0.7 itb
main problems are jovetic and Jones
who do I ditch and who to replace with?
Thanks in advance!Save until Friday when pressers should reveal news on Jovetic/Jones, but I'd look to bring in a S'oton defender and one of Welbeck/Pelle/Ade should either of them miss.
Thanks, will do
Rmwct
Vertonghen Luis Enrique Ward Gamboa
Lallana Delph Matic Fletcher Routledge
Ulloa Drogba Soldado😆
One of the best I've seen.
Thanks. Plenty in the bank if injuries or bamdwagons.
Looks like what Gary Lineker left on the pitch against Ireland at Italia 90'.
Thanks man.
Lallana might actually be decent pick now, would swap him for Young or something
Such a good team you don't even need a keeper! 🙂
Coupla WC questions:
1) Begovic or Forster
2) PVA or RobertsonForster Robertson
Forster, PVA
1) Begovic
2)
Wilson
1. Bego (The SOT FBs are better options)
2. PVA for me.begovic
pva
What move would be more urgent? Set on doing both moves but can only do one before the deadline
Jovetic --> Welbeck
or
Sturridge ---> AgueroJov,bench Sturridge
Done both for a hitThe latter
Cheers lads
Hope you went for Aguero first!? Every game Arsenal played early saturday last season against top team ended with letting in 4-6 goals..
Rank these in terms of 'need' - Aguero, ADM, Ivan... and best cheaper alternatives? On a WC
Aguero
Ivan
AdmIvan, Kun, ADM
Cheers chaps. Best alternatives to ADM? Already have Siggy, Fab, Sterling... thinking Tadic at this stage
To replace Jovetic;
A) Pelle
b) Adebayor
Thanks!
Will Mata or dzeko fall tonight?both on -95 on fpl?
What would you rather have:
Defence of - Coleman, Terry, (Duff) and......
A) Bardsley + Wilson (rotating)
B) Lovren + Wisfom (Lovren playing every week)
?B
B, would go with Moore for a more secure starter.
What will the Man U back line be?
Shite.
Rubbish
We don't even know how many defenders the will have..never mind who?
Milanista?
Doos, you keeping Sturridge? He's injured for 2-3 weeks 🙁
Dunno. Agonising. 🙁
Hello
GW 04:
Begovic
Chambers, Clyne, Ivanovic
Mirallas, Ramsey, Sterling(c), Sigurdsson
Costa(vc), Sturridge*, Naismith
Green; Davis, N Taylor, Dummett ... - 4, 2.6 ITB
What to do?Sturridge>Balotelli
That's my move atmWon't be mine. Sorry, but thank you very much.
Sounds like Sturridge has to go based on the injury news. Kun, Falcao or Balotelli imo
Even with the additional - 4?
Can't you bench him for this gw, somehow
Sure I can. But there is team value to consider.
Yeah, wouldn't be happy about the extra -4 if it was my team but I wouldn't want any of the bench players coming in and hus price is bound to drop. Its one goal to break even and you can afford anyone.
Yes, I think that you are right. I am leaning, rationally, I hope, towards Welbeck. On the grounds of team value as well as form.
Welbeck's an interesting option, 6.9m for a non-donkey Arsenal's striker. Going to leave you with a lot of cash to splash!
Anybody think Fazio may be due his debut this weekend ?...or for that matter...Which other newly acquired defenders should be in line for a debut ?
The Saints boy?
Alderweirld
What about Lescott...played in that behind closed doors lark the other day...will he show his hand ?
Is he a good shout Doosra ?..only seen his stats and no more...
Not yet.
IDK why Fazio hasn't come in yet for Swans. Haven't heard much surrounding him if he's injured or what but I thought Monk bought him to come in for Chico's place. Odd.
What's even odder is that he plays for Spurs...
Hi all, should be good to go for the weekend even with Rooney in my team and Jovetic a doubt? If Jovetic don't start I think Larsson could do something against Tottenham? Hopefully..
Schmeichel
Clyne Ivanovic Lovren
Sigurdsson Chadli Sterling Fábregas
Jovetic Rooney Balotelli
Subs: Krul Larsson Dummett Wisdom
So Demi reckons Man United will line up 442 diamond. Don't think they will but it looks bloody good on paper.
Maybe if they totally change the philosophy and speed of their game.. DiMaria and Falcao (when he starts playing) should be good, Rooney is out of form, Van Persie is horrible, Herrera looks like a lost kid, was shocked when I found out he is 25 years old.. and the defense is meh..
9 years, 8 months agoany point in keeping aguero in my team considering his next 2 matches?
