We delve into the Gameweek 5 data this evening in our first members article of the week. Wayne Rooney’s new role for United comes under analysis, as do Burnley and Leicester’s displays up front, whilst a couple of north London-based frontmen are also placed under the microscope after their contrasting weekend performances.
i'd wait til he gets 90min under his belt.
He'll be eased into action against Everton and Basel, should be good for WBA I reckon
Yep all over that
music to my ears as a sterling owner...I think he is better value this season 🙂
I agree, but why not have the both of them? The best part is that Rooney's fixtures get difficult when he returns, straight swap for me
ah that's the advantage of the holy trinity 😉
ill monitor the situation, but happy to have kun over him for now 🙂Fair call
Costa, Kun, Welbeck, Pelle, Rooney/Falcao, Lukaku, Ulloa... No room I'm afraid when others are doing the business. He's really expensive and injury prone, add to that the fact they're in the CL... I'm staying away. Sterling is enough Pool for me 🙂
Appreciate the thoughts Innsie, but I don't particularly agree with the term 'enough'. Liverpool are one of the most attacking teams in the league, and there is no harm in doubling up given the fixtures
I would like to see us be able to string some passes together before doubling up...we're woeful atm.
Thanks Billy, will assess how you guys go in the Derby
Fresh off the wildcard I'm hoping to save my transfer, but with Rooney's deeper role is it worth selling him for Kun for free?
A) Rooney > Kun
B) Save FT
Thanks in advance 🙂
Before a juicy home game is not the time to do it... I'd wait a week mate...
save.
Tempting. Very tempting.
Might be one week too early thou.save
although I myself would do it 😀Cheers all, looks like I'll save.
B
Any idea what to do with this lot?
Krul (Gilks)
Cahill Williams Clyne (Wisdom, Hutton)
Sterling Di Maria Eriksen Ramsey Sigurdsson
Costa Rooney (Wood)
0.1 ITB 1 FT
Cheersbank it imo
save it mate.
Cheers, I was thinking the same
I have a strange unexplainable urge to do balo to falcao for a hit.
Crazy?yes, imo.
yah
I have a strange urge to take a crapper in my boss' coffee cup. Doesn't make it right.
what's the most favorable GK rotation atm?
Heston and someone
went up from 141k to 40k 😎
Forster
Clyne, Naylor, Wilson
Di Maria, Ramsey, Sterling, Siggy
Kun, Costa, Welbeck
McCarthy. Boyd, PVA, Janmaat
0ft, 0.1m8k to 5k here! Great team. Well done on the Welbeck (C) punt!
nice one mate!
cheers, he really is dat guy.😀
Worth mentioning here that if Baines didn't score that late penalty, my gameweek was going down the drain 😉
haha great pick though. was extremely close to getting him on my wc just before he exploded with two hauls 🙁
Don't think your team needs him tbh 🙂
I was going on about him in the previous week, but as was the case with Pelle, most stayed away. This time, however, not due to his ability but his fixtures (liv and mun to follow)*cue baines attacking returns in both fixtures 😉
but i think i prefer going cheap at the back this season, harder to build value so maximising front 8 output is essential imo.
922k to 459k here 😆
looking good FG 🙂haha solid climb mate.
thanks lad 🙂
Rank dont mean much yet
yeah, hopefully - cheers for the encouragement beric
true, it takes about 8gw before the points between rankings start to spread a but imo
LOL?
LOL indeed
😀
De Gea
Ivanovic Duff Clyne (Wisdom Bruce)
Sterling Hazard Ramsey Siggy (Elmohamady)
Costa Rooney Naismith
1FT / 1.5M ITB
A - Ramsey + Naismith to Mirallas/Tadic/Lamela + Pelle 4pts hit
B - Ivanovic + Naismith to 6.2max + Pelle 4pts hit
Any suggestion? Thanks 🙂still don't fancy Naismith ---> Ulloa 😉
if you really want Pelle then Naismith + DDG ---> Heaton/Mannone + Pelle (-4) ?Thanks man! The 2nd choice looks good 😉
I'll do Naismith + DDG ---> Heaton + Pelle (-4)
Do what aarons telling you to do goddamnit
this guy finished in the top 1,000 the last two years in a row... so he may know what he's saying 😉
RMT please .. Suggestions to make it better ?
Forster
Pieters Clyne Wisdom
ADM Fab Sterling Siggy
Rooney Welbz Costa(c)
Subs - Elliott,PvA,Marney,Moore
0ft 2.8 itblooks good - no need for a hit imo
Get Baines before week 8. No rush.
ManU are a better team when Rooney plays in a deeper role. Its what SAF did for his last few years. About time one of his successors figured it out.
Unfortunately, not good for fantasy results.Costa kun welbeck
hmmm... that looks good
i'm on a budget & fixtures kick... Costa Pelle Ulloa
history says your choices are wiser
Chambers is worth 0,4M more than Duff?
in a month
this
Til Xmas, Debuchy out for 3 months
whoever I choose, Dont think I can waste 1 FT for them til Xmas
After a terrible GW my team is:
Foster (Krul)
Terry Clyne Chambers (Moore Jones*)
Di Maria Ramsey Sterling Siggy (Marney)
Rooney Costa Naismith*
1FT 1.2 ITB
Thinking I'll do Krul to Heaton next GW but for this GW either:
A) Naismith to Ulloa and play Chambers (TOT) or Moore (cpl)
B) Jones to PVA and Naismith to Welbeck (-4) (Will bench Chambers for next two GWs and play PVA (SWA and STO) and play Chambers thereafter
C) Jones to Duff and Naismith to Pelle (-4) (Duffs next two are wba and lei)
D) Jones to Duff and Naismith to Welbeck (-4) (leaving me with enough for Terry to Baines for GW 8)
E) Save
Any help would be much appreciated1) do not waste a transfer on a GK... just do not do it... it doesn't matter... it won't matter... unless you have 2FTs and nothing to do, do not use a transfer on a GK... the difference between the highest and lowest GKs who played full minutes last season was 20 total points over the season... it just doesn't matter
2) A is fine and avoids a hit
3) B, C & D are okay and well reasoned hits... like D the best if Baines doesn't rise too much before you can make the transferThanks for the reply. I'm thinking that in this case the GK transfer is worth it as Newcastle seem incapable of a CS and Burnley seem to have them in abundance. Yes I'm also leaning towards D because it also leaves me with enough to do Ramsey to Fabregas if need be
D works for me.
Regarding GK:
1) GKs that don't get CSs often do accumulate points from saves which is part of why the difference is minimal at season's end
2) Newcastle are a team that runs hot and cold. They're never consistent in quality over an entire season. Would expect the tide to turn and Krul to show some resilience down the road.
3) I just start a WBA keeper every week and won't think about it until the January WC (when one has to consider some teams will not play every week due to scheduling and you have to have two keepers), I've gotten two clean sheets in games in which someone rotating keepers would have benched Foster (at Southampton & at Tottenham). Currently, Guzan-Given or Heaton-Giks would have been a better choice than Foster-Myhill, but over the course of the season, they should all have approximately the same numbers.That's all very true, I've just been fed up with Krul of late but it's true I have bigger fish to fry. Thanks for the help.
Greetings people.
Yesterday I had just enough money itb to do Naismith & Ramsey -> Pelle & ADM for free, but found out now that I'm 0.2m short of it already.. 🙁good thing, cos if I remember correctly that wasn't the best move you could make 😉
Maybe, it open the doors widely for Naismith -> Ulloa instead, and Roo & Ramsey -> Kun & ADM for free next week. 😉
but the thoughts of not having Pelle against QPR is really frightening 🙁
Get welbz instead
Still got Ramsey, not a fan of Ulloa with that form and fixtures?
Yeah of course, and his price! He looks great but i think danny will outscore him
I like that thoughts. Cheers
Who is the most attacking defender for burnley and Leicester?
On a wildcard and wanted to pick up one of them b/c of their schedules.
Already have PVA, Clyne Bertrand, and wisdom (might ship him out)
Too much Southampton love?
Also, thinking Krul has to go..
Cheers!
Trippier.
this
If your in a Wildcard I wouldn't have Wisdom.
If it was me, I'd have - Clyne, Bertrand, Chambers, Duff and Moore. Play the first three each week, and went Southampton have a bad fixture, play either Moore or Duff.Id have that but pva instead od bert
Funny you should say that.. I just put in chambers based on your last comment.. Duff for 4.1 seems like a no-brainer..
I was looking at Forster.. But for .1 more I'd rather have Bertrand's attacking returns..
Trippier. On set pieces too. Bot not sure if he's worth 5.0/4.9.
This weeks fixtures are horrible for UFPL! 🙁
Hopefully my week is as good as it was for the last set of horrible fixtures...GW4
Thank you all for the replies, here's another one..
Why no Ozil love on here?!? I'll admit I Havnt been a huge fan from an FPL perspective, but if he keeps playing in the hole.. I think it might worth it!
Any gunners on here that think Wenger will keep playing him there?!I don't think he will play there against spurs or chelsea...ramsey and soon walcott are better options imo 🙂
You seem biased to Ramsey 😉 and I've had him to this point with no complaints.. As soon is Wally is back he's on my team.. I guess I can get away w no are sneak cover for the next 2 weeks.. Hmmm..
Other option is to stay with siggy.. Just looking for better options ATManyone out of our front 5 could all do well...wally wont be back 'til earliest gw10 imo, so id have one arsenal player at least 🙂
Ozil could'should come good. Wenger loves him, have faith in him and he's yet to lose any minutes. But fantasy wise, it's better to stay away for now and turn to Ramsey instead since Ramsey is taking the shots and is usually better positioned in the final third.
Who to bench? Have heaton too
A - Ivanovic
B - Duff
C - Clyne
D - Wisdom
Thanks 🙂Has to be B or D.. I'd say Duff.. For some odd reason I fancy WBA for a late goal at home..
I guess Duff to spread the risk 🙂
Done with transfers for this week... next week's problem children are Moreno & Eriksen (both benched this week).
basically between these two choices over then next two weeks
a) Moreno -> Chambers & Eriksen -> Hazard
b) Moreno -> Chelsea defender, ManCity defender or Coleman & Eriksen -> Mirallas
Have Baines & Costa if that effects the choice.
Part of me still wants to stick it out with Eriksen, but he's not making it easy.A sounds great imo
yeah... seems like Hazard should get going sometime in the next few gameweeks
thanks for the reply !
I would be worried about Mirallas minutes...monitor that?
I'm not. Am familiar with how Martinez rotated last year.
He'll play 80% or more of games when healthy.
When he comes off the bench, he'll be motivated to score because of Martinez's policy that if you score one week, you're guaranteed to start the following week.
I carry eight quality attackers up front, so I don't mind having one coming off the bench.and thank you for the reply 😀
To the person on here who, 2 weeks ago, said to avoid picking up players who play for your favorite team because when they lose you feel even worse.. thank you..
Picking up Balotelli and Moreno was not my finest hour.. 😉
Oh well they're gone now!
For god sake, what happened to Muppet? Please don't tell me the mods banned another great poster?
?
😯
I thought he'd just gone to bed, lives in the US...this
Really? Haven't seen him for awhile and people were asking the same question a day ago
? he was on for ages a couple of hours ago, just go back a few pages 🙂
He was on like twenty minutesz ago
all over page 17, a bit at the top of 18, then left
No awhile as in days, I only logged on now but okay. I just really miss the banter from posters like Forca and stuff
Is the DI Maria Bandwagon really on?? Have already got tthe top 4 mid/fielders, but thinking of doing ramsey to Maria???
Thoughts plssss? Still not convinced with uniteds formyeah the bandwagon is in full motion...i'm not doing the switch personally but most others seem to want to do it...
same.
Thanks .. Will wait for a week, with the north london derby, believe Ramsey is due a big performance...
May drop rooney to get di Maria....I wouldve liked to wait but hacdc the exact funds for my transfers so went for it. Certfainly not confident that adm will beatt ramsey this week, long term tho i think adm will win
I did the very same today
doesn't matter if his team wins or loses, only matter if he scores fantasy points or not
he is instrumental now to most of united's scoring opportunities
is he essential? no
is he going to score some points? yes
is he worth 9.8 in the context of your fantasy team? your choice
i now have both Ramsey and AdMExcellent analysis Thanks
I'd do it if I were you.
He looks increddible
Since people are dropping Ramsey for AdM this week, who will they drop for Ramsey in two game weeks?
Time will tell if that becomes a neccesity or not
well.... there's always Walcott 😉
😀
whichever out of Siggy/Fabregas/Sterling/AdM gets the least points over the next few weeks! 🙂Probably get wally instead
I'm curious with Walcott, Sanchez & Welbeck if Wenger rotates who plays as striker.
W&w for 16 dtw
Ftw
all right then
cheers for the response
Love it.
In the end, maybe Welbeck is the man to get he stays upfront even when Wally returns, and the midfield got rotated.There will be injuries, so no hurry to think about this...and maybe many other alternatives, Wally, Sanchez, Özil etc.instead of Ramsey. Never thought would say this, but Ramsey is might be playing deeper...
RMWCT
Heaton/Bego
Naylor/Clyne/Duff/Baines/Wilson
ADM/Fab/Siggy/Sterling/Downing
Costa/Pelle/Welbeck
Only thing that worries me is no Kun or other City coverage, might have to plan long-term to get him in...Looks good..but don't like Downing...Baines maybe later? Difficult fixtures ahead.
thanks for feedback
...If I were you would consider Forster instread of Bego, but not sure about it... Bego definately spreads the risk, but something to monitor.
Do Heaton / Giks & save yourself 1.0 to spend elsewhere... doesn't mean you have to spend it as everything else on your team looks fine for now except
Should have Chambers instead of Wilson for fixtures after GW8
See my two replies above about GKs (here http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/09/22/the-big-numbers-gameweek-5-4/?hc_page=19#hc_comment_8369405 and the one two down from it)cheers mate, saw it already, thx
About Rooney...probably many of us face this same question...
I have no other pressing concerns currently in my team, so should I...
A. Rooney to Pelle FT
B. Rooney and Terry to Aquero and Naylor for a hit
C. Rooney to Falcao FT
D. Save the transfer...
Pelle vs QPR is tempting, fixtures and stats look good for him...Aquero could be explosive, but
a but worried about his minutes, fixtures look good...Falcao will come good, would be a punt and differential...views? If Rooney will be playing nro10, could actually continue producing points, doubts about it but still possible...on some corners, set pieces etc.
views? Thanks!D
a
A or D, don't do the hit one.
Save
D
D. Wait for a week, RVP maybe dropped looking at his performance
Any idea when City have a good continuous run of fixtures??
Wth just look
sorry mate was feeling too lazy 😛
This is the best article
Golden boot?
1=costa,welbeck
3 naismithCosta
Sturridge
AgueroAguero
Costa

Aguero
Ulloa
RVP is a differential with 2% ownership. Any takers?
anyone completely out of his mind...
No he is now shit i hear hes going mls soon after thanksgiving
MLS? That'd be pretty pathetic, where'd you hear that?
Not me. Out of form, out of sorts, and eventually will be out of favour. Serve him well.
Naismith to Ulloa
A. Now
B. Later (when?)
C. No/Never and get Pelle instead.
taget Pelle
Thoughts on this team:
Krul (Gilks)
Wisdom - PVA - Ivanovic - Clyne - Caulker
Hazard - Ramsay - Siggy - Stirling - Marney
Rooney - Ulloa - Costa
0.7m ITB.
Traded Mata > Sterling
and Naismith > Ulloa
before the price drops/rises.
Any suggestions for the follow week or which defenders to play this weekend?
Clyne - Ivan - Wisdom
Actually ^, mixed up WBA and SUN opponents.
ah good. Yep, first thoughts with these three.
Clyne, Ivanovic, PVA
9 years, 7 months agoBrought this up last night as well, thought I should share with the DZ too
With Sturridge in line to be fit for the Merseyside derby, how is this for a subsequent run of fixtures:
WBA,qpr,HUL,new,CHE,cpl,STO,lei,SUN
