As we brace ourselves for the second international break of the season, our Sunday members regular delves into the Gameweek 7 data. United’s record signing, City’s in-form frontman and Swansea’s resurgent striker are amongst this evening’s topics, as we also analyse the recent displays of a number of favourably priced midfielders across the last few Gameweeks.
Yes, Caulker.
Excellent team.
Basically, get rid of Caulker, it's a good week to do it. Or just save the FT and do it next week.
Tomkins is only good for next gw and then we have harder fixtures. Also remember yesterday was our first clean sheet and a tomkins assist is rarer than rocking horse shit
Good point, their fixtures do get a lot tougher after next GW.
I'll probably get him in at a later date.
He got an assist against Liverpool as well...?
Hi
Which solution do you guys suggest?
A. WC?
B. Ballotell -> Augero
C Balo -> Pellie
Begovic Gilks
Dummet Clyne Rafael Hutton Wisdom
Fab ADM Chadli Siggy Davies
Costa Ulloa Balo
6.2 in bank
B
B
Sorry, bottom of last.
Does anyone know if Mangala could/will be rotated
It's possible with Demi about but reckon Komp n Mangala will be first choice.
He should be nailed on. Great option imo. Big threat going forward as well
Demi for Champions league and cups and Mangala for league games? Who knows
What would you do with this bunch of misfits? I'm thinking Moreno & Dzeko > PvA and Aguero. Any suggestions?
Begovic McCarthy
Baines Moreno Clyne Naylor Moore
Sterling Siggy Fabregas Tadic Boyd
Costa Dzeko Pelle
1 FT, 3m itb. Any help would be very much appreciated.Not sure whether your move is worth the hit. But I don't see anything else that can be done either. Maybe Dzeko to Welbeck, and give Moreno another chance.
Definitely Dzecko > Aguero. I'm keeping Moreno though.
3m ITB...
Well, I can't afford Dzeko > Aguero sadly. Will have to get rid of Moreno to fund it.
So if you were to pick 5 players for the next 6 or so weeks, with 1 defender, 2 midfielders and 2 strikers, who would they be?
For me;
Baines - needs no explaining, AVL bur SWA sun WHU in the next 5
Sterling - looked a little off the last few but has still managed 17 points in 3 games, looks better with Sturridge in the side and has qpr HUL new cpl STK in his next 6
Di Maria - him and Fabregas both have dodgy fixtures but he looks more threatening on goal, and looks more reliable than Ozil/Sanchez.
Aguero - seems set to explode, unlucky to only have 2 goals in the last 2 weeks and is finally looking fit.
Costa - Goals.I'd be tempted to go with Ivan over Baines
Yep, just that his next 5 over Ivan's look so much better
cpl mun QPR liv WBA
+1
Ivanovic still might be the defender to have...
For me:
Baines/Ivan
Di Maria & Sanchez
Aguero and Costa
Money no object then I completly agree.
Bertrand, DiMaria, Fabregas, Costa, Pelle
Re Aguero : another poster pointed out that he'll come back right before next GW with a serious jet-lag, this bothers me ... (I have him)
Baines Fixtures/Massive attacking threat
Hazard Best player in PL/Back to his best Siggy With Bony/Bonuses he will rack up assists/Bonus points
Aguero Fixtures/Can score so easily when not 100% Welbeck Fixtures/Value to afford Kun as well
Agree with all. Maybe sturridge over aguero but pool's form is bad
Ivanovic
Sanchez, Sterling
Kun, Costa
I may just save FT with this lot
Forster (4.0)
Clyne Baines PVA (Chester Hutton)
Hazard Siggy ADM Tadic (king)
Falcao Costa WelbEck
Falcao scored..high 5 pal! 🙂
Yeah save but keep in mind that Liverpool play QPR next. If you have any money then Falcao to Studge could be good..Hmm not sure, Falcao seemed good to me, Studge will probably eased in, 60 min start with etc
I was thinking about Falcao to Aguero earlier but with him playing WBA next i'm holding.
If you think Liverpool won't get much against QPR then save FT. Nothing seems pressing..
Guys is Duff nailed on??
Yes, but for 0.3 more get Shackell
No, i already own Duff, just got worried bout his game time
For time being he's nailed, however Keane's been playing for developement team & made a sub appearence Sat (albeit for Trippier)
Looks like ADM will be this year's Yaya in the sense that he will keep scoring jammy points* and annoy those who don't just embrace him and bring him in early!
*I'm not saying he's not a good player but he has had some luck with some of his goals and assists. Feel free to disagree 😉
I thought that disguised cross yesterday was brilliant!
To be fair;
Di Maria; 2.8 shots/game, 3.2 key passes/game
Yaya 2013/14; 1.8 and 1.2
Yaya was jammy in the sense that he did nothing for 89 minutes then popped up with a FK or screamer.
20 goals from 27 shots on target would have to down as one of the most incredible stats ever.
Or a penalty after Aguero was subbed off.
Isn't that Cesc this year.....
Don't disagree at all...but..just have a look at how many goals involve an element of luck somewhere along the line, it's a lot higher than we'd like to think.
Just sour grapes from me 😉 could always do Hazard > ADM
I would be worried once he hits top form
and once United can find some kind of consistency
I thought he'll be this year's Yaya/Ramsey for me but gave up and got him in last night before his rise as I had the exact cash
He has been getting lucky goals and assists but then he might start getting assists from the chances that he intentionally creates and the his last 2 goals have been class.Agree. Not to mention some of his passes. Class player. Did u see that flick to mata? Beauty
I think he's far from this year's Yaya, and that's just what non-owners are labelling him 😉
He gets into great positions, he gets forward A lot, he takes quite a few shots, some/most(i'll have to check again) are in great positions like in the box, he's on set pieces.
He's really nothing like Yaya, imo. Sure, his points so far have been mixed in the sense that some have been "dodgy" or lucky, but it's just unfortunate that some of his other solid attempts haven't resulted in goals/assist.Fair point well made. Looks like I'll need to make room 😉
guzan and wisdom
or
foster and huttonB
The latter
B
i think im set for the WC team.
McCarthy / Foster
Duff / Hutton / Moore / Ivanovic / Bertrand
Boyd / Sigurdsson / Sterling / Di María / Hazard
Agüero / Diego Costa / Naismith
£0.0m in the bank.
suggestions?
Need a bit help here. Thanks in advance!
Which is the best move with 2FT, and 2M in the bank?
A) Dzeko + Rafael -> Welbeck + Baines
B) Dzeko + Rafael + Moreno -> Aguero + Naylor + PVA - 4
C) Just Rafael to Baines, and keep Dzeko against Spurs
best keeper to partner mannone
is forster waste of a southampton player.Fabianski
Quick Q = pick one please to bring in going forward
A Silva
B Baines
C Pelle
D Aguaro (involves downgrading Ivan and an -8 pt hit
Already did Falcao to Welly have one more FT
Ivan>Baines
Any1 going yaya?
Ridiculously over priced this year
I bought in Wellbeck before his price rise which may have been a bit rash
Who would you bench out of
Tadic, Pella, Siggy?
Hoping Costa gets a random rest for the Palace game...
siggy
3.0ITB 1 freebie
Krul, Elliot
Ivan, Clyne, Moore, Hutton, Duffy
Siggy, ADM, Fabregas, Sterling, Marney
Costa, Welbo, Pelle
Transfer for gw8:
1. Moore>Baines
2. Other transfer (Which one?)
3. Save
harry redknapp has to be the biggest spoofer in football.always has been yet he somehows manages to charm his way into football journalists hearts. He also now has the biggest defensive dud in the premier league who cant be dropped because of his massive wages. For QPR to be as bad as they are, with that squad, is unforgivable.
Have used my WC.
A :
Clyne/Bertrand/baines
Chadli
Costa/Aguero/pelle
Or
B
Aspi/Bertrand/baines
Hazard
Costa/Welbeck/pelle
Thx for any answer 🙂Do you guys think an article on budget alternatives would be helpful? These alternatives may not necessarily be the better option, but they definitely allow for cash to be spent elsewhere or for you to obtain "cover" at a lower price if on a budget...AAAA's post sorta sparked the idea and thought it would be interesting. A nice way to evaluate these alternate options myself by writing.
CheersYes...... Certainly in the midfield area to get some differentials
All the ones I have so far are in midfield 😆 Hard to think of FWD ones with most teams playing one up front. Only one I can think of there is Ulloa-Vardy, but not that much of a price difference.
Go for it!
Cheers
How'd your GW go? Did you captain ADM again?
A repost from the DZ for anybody who may have been following it..
OOP..not really..but they are.
I'll do it a bit earlier this week. The list of mids who played further forward than their respective strikers (avg position) and how they did for pts this week. Familiar names once again (mostly) from familiar teams
Eriksen (11pts)
Siggy (10pts)
Sterling (5pts)
Lamela (2pts)
Bolasie (2pts)
Ozil (2pts)
Spurs, Swansea and Palace once again coming up with the picks whilst Soton's Tadic was slighty further back this week Ozil something of a newbie to the list (pants)...
Worth mentioning
Hazard (11pts) and Chadli (6 pts) remained right on the shoulder of the striker after frequent visits to the list....also..and significantly...After being last weeks furthest forward for United ADM (13pts)this week split RVP and Falcao for advanced avg position to make a mockery of his publicised starting position....again.Is this becasue the striker is deep or becasue the mids are forward?
In the case of Spurs and Swansea the mids push on ahead of the striker who plays deep in an attacking four..So Siggy, Dyer and Routledge often frequent the list and Chadli, Lamela and Eriksen for Spurs...Meanwhile Bony and Ade are playing closer to the centre circle on avg..(Bony actually played a bit higher this week)...Bolasie on the other hand just goes out on a limb and plays very high as does Tadic...
Krul,
Ivanovic, Clyne, Duff,
Sigurdsson, Fabregas, Sterling, Di Maria,
Costa, Welbeck, Pelle.
Subs: Mannone, N Taylor, Boyd, Wisdom.
1 FT, £3.1m in the bank.
A) Duff -> Baines for free
B) Ivanovic -> 5.9 DEF, Pelle -> Aguero for a 4 pt. hit.
C) Something else.
Thoughts?
b, moreno
but could be sideways
Thanks. Don't really want to take a hit, but I guess I need Aguero.
A) Alexis and Ulloa
B) Downing and Aguero
C) Siggy and Falcao
Thanks!B or c. Would prefer b
Can't you get Siggy and Aguero?
I could do for a hit, by going Moreno, Alexis and Ulloa -> Schlupp, Siggy and Aguero. Really regretting ditching Siggy a couple of weeks ago...
C mainly cos falcao being supplied by adm and that if pelligrini keeps playing kun for 90 mins then aguero is going to break...
What GK has the best short / medium term fixtures?
Forester saints goalie
Long term AdrianAdrian slipped my mind. Think I'll bring him in - thanks.
Guzan might be a good option too
Hi Davies, is Mahraz nailed on?
p.s I like Guzan.
Not nailed on - but a fan favorite who will see a lot of game time
Hi Davies, I'm looking to possibly get Schlupp in - is he a rotation risk? Thanks.
Oh, and I'd probably go Forster.
Yeah, he's a rotation risk. As Nige has shown previously, he doesn't care who he drops and next to nobody is safe - especially the versatile ones (Schlupp).
fabs/ bego for me ,a tad pricy at 10.1 but perfect rotating fixtures all season...
Hi Davies. Are Leicester fans called MoLeicesters?
I would say Fabianski.
Pva or Colo to baines?
Colo.
colo
Colo
Do you think Baines will rise in price more than 0.1 until kick off ?
Nope
No. He should rise 0.1 though.
The thing I like about ADM is he's a massive differential in UFPL and gets enormous hauls. Has 50 points already and that's without baps.
Baines
Good post.
destiny
Sorry that was a tick
Tomkins it will be, then. Thanks to all - really cleared my mind. 🙂
Nice pick Doosra.
Obrien? is he back soon in the team?
Nice Doos!
My turn, Ivan ---> Tomkins Pelle ----> Kun
OR
Keep my team Kunless but with Ivan and 2FTs next week.Who for?
My guess knowing Doos (not knowing him at all) would be for Naylor
So I decided to freshen things up and hit the WC button. I didn't really have to, but the team just felt stale and I wanted Di Maria and Hazard. Can anyone suggest how I may be able improve, particularly in defence?
Mannone / Guzan
Clyne / Chambers / N. Taylor / Wisdom
Sterling / Hazard / Di Maria / Sigurdsson / Wanyama
Costa / Aguero / WelbeckGet rid of Chambers & Wanyama
Maybe for Robertson & ObertanMannone fixtures are not great
Imo thats a relatively template team, why don't you get Kun as a differential since you used your WC, and downgrade one of your mids if you have to?
What to do? I think I need Costa now, a few points ahead at the top of my work league at the moment so can afford a few transfers I think.
Mannone (Krul)
Baines - Clyne - Dier (Wisdom, Duff)
Di Maria - Downing - Fabregas - Tadic
Aguero - Ulloa - Pelle
2.1m in the bank.
One way would be:
Ulloa > Costa
Tadic > Sig
Baines > a 4.6m defender
Worth it?
9 years, 7 months agoAnything need fixing here? (Other than keepers!)
Krul/Elliot
Moreno/Taylor/Caulker/Wisdom/Hutton
