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.
Ivan or Baines
Probably B
Yeah it seems to come down to them. I think I've made my choice though. Everton can't buy a CS at the moment yet Baines keeps racking up points. If they can find some defensive form (when sweet, sweet Seamus comes back no doubt) Baines will be essential (maybe).
Except Coleman will be better.
No doubt. Sweet, sweet Seamus is a beast.
For me Baines
Proven year in , year out
Maybe clyne
What to do here with my 2 FTs??
Bego
Clyne / Bertrand / Duff
Fabregas / ADM / Sterling / Tadic
Welbeck / Aguero / Costa
4.0; King / Moore / Wisdom
save until break is over and if no injuries, upgrade king or duff but save one for more dire times
Cheers, you wouldn't try to crowbar Baines in?
Then i would gettadic out for mahrez or someone like that
Im hoping falcao starts producing. Would really help
Chambers you have really buggered me up by getting ruled out for the next game. Tough finding 4.9 defender with quality fixtures coming up. Any suggestions?
Bench him
I don't have him yet. I was planning on him filling the slot this week. Need a defender for next week and preferably a few weeks more
Surely keep him, it's only one game!
See above
Not impressed by him at all. Allways late into tackles and seems to get plenty of yellow cards.
That's what does it. But he is very cheap for an Arsenal defender. Would have slipped in a treat
Not sure he is good enough for a club like Arsenal yet. I will keep him for fpl though.
I would consider getting him anyways Cheesoid if you have nothing else pressing. Let him sit on the bench for a week. Not as if any other teams are keeping clean sheets anyways 😉
A fair point. My defence is a weak point I had kind of hoped to address with my 2 ft's. You never know something may happen over the international break to provide an opportunity
I'm gonna have to play Taylor at Stoke now instead of Chambers at home against Hull. Not ideal but not the end of the world.
If I do nothing it is Clyne - Duff - PVA so really needs a 0-0 between Southampton and Sunderland.
gone up 500 places to 3.2k after getting 66 points! If only i wouldn't have changed my captain from ADM to Costa an hour before it got locked in 🙁
Swapping from Aguero to Ulloa took me down to 62. What a cock up
That's just crazy.
I felt punty
Is Di Maria's assist today credited to Shots off Target or Chances Created? Or both?
Wouldn't be too surprised if Smalling is now United's 6th choice centre back...
ADM is becoming the Yaya of last season for me. 🙁
Thinking of countering him with Sturridge from gw 9 onwards.I may get him for DGW31.
I may do the same like I did last season. 🙁
Sturridge plus Agüero & Diego Costa?
Yep.
Yeah. Can do if I downgrade sterling to downing and shawl to Oviedo
*Shawx
Is Oviedo likely to take Pienaar's spot?
I think so. Was there (and was excellent) last season before the leg break
Yeah I remember that. He is just within my defender budget so is a tempter
Leave it one more match - need to see how if he starts first
Good enough reasons to WC?
For
- Poor rank (400k+)
- defence/GK need fixing
- ML rivals have same forward & midfield templates, but their defences are killing me
- probably 4-5 transfers from my ideal team
Against
- can field full team (already got rid of injured players)
- can fix the team with hits over 3 weeks
Don't see I can make grounds on ML rivals especially if take a few hits. Very temped
What would you change in attack?
Kun, Welb, and change to 343
Defence: baines, Bertrand (double up sot), better GK than krul
59 points gets me a third red arrow in a row. Talk about a tough crowd...
Top 5K average around 60.
58
Top 5K not 10K
My mistake
how do you know the average for top 5k?
I got 59 and dropped out of top 10k. Current top 10k average around 62pts.
Well, I went from 4709 to 5968, so I guess it makes sense that it was more than 59.
I gained around 800 places with 59.
What to do with this lot?
DDG/Gilks
Chester/Cahill/Duff/Dummet/Clyne
ADM/Siggy/Sterling/Downing/Marney
Costa/Pelle/Aguero
Thinking of doing Cahill to Baines. Thoughts?
Thanks 😀Seems a reasonable move. Chelsea defence is obviously very good, but Cahill is looking fourth best in terms of bonus so far.
Naughton by name Naughton by nature. Naughton the field for long again today.....
Quick fire round... Welbeck or Pelle?
Welbz
No bias Arsene?
Non at all 😉 but really I think it will be close between them, both have good fixtures coming up. Both are good picks, I just think Welbeck will offer better value.
Better player in a better team.
Which is? You can certainly argue that saints have been the better team
I fancy Pelle more over the next four.
Hmm...thanks
Dafuq was Forster doing there.
Double SOT defence is looking really crap.Three home fixtures in their next four matches tho
Fingers crossed.
Need to find £2.2m for Aguero over the next couple of weeks, but would have to downgrade one of these five:
1) Ivan
2) Fab
3) Pelle
4) ADM
5) Sterling
Which one would you cut?
Or 6) keep them all and grab Welbeck and Baines instead?
Pelle
I'm thinking keep ft to I can get aguero in after Spurs for free. Got 4.6 in the bank with
Heaton
Clyne pva iva
Sterling fab adm siggy
Costa pelle ulloa
Gilks Chester Hutton marney
Shall I save it?Why wait? Despite their fantastic keeper, Spurs aren't impenetrable.
Wait so I don't take -4
Fair enough.
Begovic, Gilks
Baines, Clyne, Hutton, Duff, Wisdom
Di Maria, Fab, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Isgrove
Costa, Pelle, Dzeko
1 FT, 2.7 ITB
I'm thinking of saving this week, but I want Chadli by next week. Who do I dump? Isgrove, and give myself benching headaches every week?Looks like you're heading for a benching headache if you want Chadli... 🙂
Like they say a 'good headache'
A. Rose & Ulloa --> Welbeck & Hutton
or
B. Rose & Moreno --> Baines & Hutton
or
C. Sterling --> Hendo to free up funds for both Baines & WelbeckB
Finding Chadli very hard to ignore...
You and me both.
just had a quick check on wiki and he was a goal every 3 pretty much for his previous 2 clubs. Looks like Pochetino is playing him to his strengths.
Almost plays like an attacker. Considering downgrading Sterling to him after QPR.
True. He's not about some odd goals anymore. He's being consistent now.
A new most attacking team for the season..really got to get a piece of that...
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/4689/
and for the week..
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/3846/
Dang. Didn't realize that.
Top two have 5-0 drubbings written all over them...
It's really a top 3. Put a decent striker at the head of that third team and...
indeed...
Wham really gettin it together. Sam likes his stats, he'll like those.
Problem is only one player for City is currently worth having.
IMO:
For the season - MUN
For the week - WHM?
Hmm... Aguero
Making the difference...Silva ?...A blank yesterday will kepp the wolves from the door but Silva and Aguero is tried and tested.
Yeah I have Silva, disappointed with the lack of returns from his showing yesterday. Getting Aguero in for GW8.
Would you do Begovic to Adrián this week?
No way is that worth a FT
Begovic has been pretty poor for me, plus look at West Ham's fixtures until January.
Next week! Or get Cech if Courtois is out
Don't think Courtois is that seriously injured to be out 2 weeks. As for shipping Begovic, I'll probably keep him for one more week before I rage-sell him.
I guess, not convinced though...
His ownership is soo low, he's almost a diff.
WHAM are more attacing this season mind
I've been looking at Guzan, Lloris and Fabianski
Is Mane getting on any set pieces?
He took a free kick in tadic territory today.
He took one free kick today if I remember corrrectly. Dunno about corners.
Nice. Cheers both
Hey Trigger,....you around?
Saving FT then bringing in YChambers for Morenocleansheets
Really hope Spurs can get themselves sorted soon, Eriksen could be a huge bargain at 7.8m
yeah, the next game is likely to throw up a blank though. and hopefully more PRICE FALLS
Who to replace Balotelli with? Got 10.2M. Already have Pelle.
Welbeck for me, either that or find the money from elsewhere to upgrade to Aguero/Costa depending on who you've already got.
Best defender for 6.4 or under. Cannot pick any Chelsea. Thinking arsenal with those fixtures
Mangala
you got any spurs defence? after City the fixtures get pretty nice
No spurs, ya they could be a good shout. Is mangala nailed on?
Ulloa for Sakho or Papiss Cisse?
Cisse
Sakho
De Gea, Gilks
Terry, Pieters, Taylor, Hutton, Wisdom
Fabregas, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Marney
Costa, Aguero, Pelle
1.2M ITB. 1 FT.
What would you do?Save transfer
Tadic is frustrating to own. Just seen the highlights. He reminds me of Silva Coutinho Eriksen, in terms of fantasy football
He's only got 2 or less points twice this season. Not that bad.
9 years, 7 months agoWho is the #1 defender I should have in my team if money is no object?
