Monitor – Gylfi Sigurdsson

A pair of assists and two bonus points in Swansea’s home draw with Newcastle elevated Gylfi Sigurdsson to the top of the midfield standings in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game at the end of Gameweek 7. With 46 points accrued, the Icelandic international is second only to Diego Costa overall and, having started the season at just 6.0, he’s now climbed in cost to 6.8 – his rise in price of 0.8 is greater than any other player so far.

Averaging 6.6 points per appearance under Garry Monk, Sigurdsson has been snapped up by over 44% of FPL managers as he seamlessly settles back into life at the Liberty. Indeed, Sigurdsson’s Fantasy exploits have so far exceeded his displays from 2011/2, where, under the guidance of Brendan Rodgers, he served up seven goals, five assists and 11 bonus points in 18 appearances – averaging 5.7 points per match.

As the transfers in continue to pick up pace over the international break, we compare his displays over the two periods to assess his impact since returning to Wales.

      4. though don't fancy the double up on villa much, anyway you could include a Soton defender in there?

      Thanks.

      Annoying though; 0.1m away from making this bowel-shattering 12-point arse-smack of a move:

      Falcao --> Kun
      Bojan (yes, yes...) --> Welbeck
      Balo (...I know...) --> Pelle
      PVA --> Baines

                You're very welcome.

                It's funny, I was also considering a 12 point hit:

                Kun --> Falcao
                Welbeck (yes, yes...) --> Bojan
                Pelle (...I know...) --> Balotelli
                Baines --> PVA

                Worth it?

        Jesus I may spend 100 on those moves.

        Day or two you'll be set to go.

        U have to do them all at once? Can't spread the hits out?

        Even I wouldn't spend 100 but u get me I'm sure

        1. gruffyboy
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I'm not sure - think Kun/Welbeck could rise by another 0.1m in the meantime?

          1. Sparrer
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Yes, very possible

      3. Diva
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        You're only hopes are Falcao and PvA, but I guess just about everyone one else is moving more quickly than those guys so you could be disappointed.

        1. gruffyboy
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Yep - I was thinking of binning Sterling for Downing instead of Falcao --> Pelle but that seemed even riskier - could afford it though...

      4. Galfadez
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Just do it without the Falcao to Aguero trade

  5. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Hang on, isn't Sturridge back in full training???

    How the hell do I get him next to Aguero and Costa?

    1. Sparrer
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      With a midfield of of Downing, Chadli, Hendo and Siggy.

      You know it makes sense...

      1. Sparrer
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        of of of of of of of. Apparently.

    2. The Hound
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't be too concerned. Decent player but over priced IMO.

      1. Sparrer
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, useful as a drop down if Kun busts a flush, otherwise a wait-and-see-er.

        See also: Theo Walcott.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero -> Studge if needed.

      Hope both will rotate perfectly... injury-wise.

      1. Sebbo29
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Injury rotation, interesting concept 😉

  6. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    best Situation? thnx

    1.Guzan + 4.0 (hamer) + 4.5Def (Wilson)
    or
    2.guzan + Manone + 4.0def (moore) allows to rotate both gk for favorable fixtures for vito.

    1. Sparrer
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      The second one

    2. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      would prefer NO.2 but with Foster + Guzan, perfect home/away rotation

      1. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Sebb , do u think AVL have easier fixtures than WBA? i had originall Foster + Manone but then was thinking of switching to foster + vito, no?

        1. Sebbo29
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I just think that Sunderland have the toughest run of fixtures out of those 3 teams so WBA and Villa makes most sense to me (I know next week is a bit tough with games vs. EVE and MANu but after that it looks fine), and what do you mean you had Foster and Mannone and wish to switch to the same...?

    3. Diva
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I prefer 2.

        DiMaria. Sterling. Siggy. Walcott

        Barkley being expected to return soon could put a dampener on that over the course of the 6 weeks.

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I'd go with Berahino. He seems a real talent to me and the source of WBA's goals. On pens too.

        1. Sebbo29
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          yes good point, he is one to monitor

    5. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years

      C or D, but I'm monitoring B too.

  10. FortunesAlwaysHiding

    Ideally I would like a Chelsea defender for my draft side. I would look to trade out one of my mids...

    Begovic
    Bertrand/Mangala/Moreno/Tomkins
    Walcott/Barkley/Ramsey/Moses/Lampard/Tadic/Mane
    Austin/Adebayor/RvP

    Without low balling other players in my draft, which do you think would be a reasonable offer for Cahill/Azpil? There is no rules regarding prices/playing positions etc...

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe Tadic or Mane, or even RVP. You could tempt the owner with SOT's upcoming fixtures. I wouldn't touch Walcott, Bark and Rambo although they are all unavailable atm.

    2. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Am I missing something?
      What is this?

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, one player who owns Cahill has an awful midfield made worse by losing Ozil. If you were to give up one of Tadic or Mane, who would you pick?

      2. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        It's a draft league game.

  11. Costa Nostra
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Those of you bringing in Azpi this week, what are you thinking for the following week @Man U? Surely there will be no CS? Azpi offers very little attacking is my only hesitation. Don't think I've seen him in on corners.

    1. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Also, even though Felipe Luis isn't starting in league as of now, there's always that chance when you flip on the tv on Saturday morning that he will be in the lineup instead of Azpi . Soneone talk me into him or out of him please!

      1. The Hound
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Threat of rotation, no attacking threat. I don't like him as a pick....

    2. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Playing United and Liverpool in the next 4. As bizarre as it sounds. I may just hold on to Moreno 😆

      1. The Hound
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Me as well, but he's seriously trying my patience!

        1. BeachBadger
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          He's annoying alright. but to be fair, couldve easily had 2 clean sheets the last two weeks bar a wonder strike from Jags and rash challenge by Lovern

    3. Zasa
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      May not be as attacking as Ivan, but is a BAPs machine. The games in which neither scored or assisted, Azpi has outscored every time.

  12. Costa Nostra
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    So... I'm still not sure. Lol !

  13. Costa Nostra

    I'm thinking about Moreoi too but now with Lovren out....Liverpool D looking very weak!

        Simple question TL....

        Azpi or Moreno?

            Wait a week and get chambers

          2. The Hound
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Arsenal are running out of defenders, pool are not great at the back, azpi has no attacking threat. U got saints? If not try get baines or maybe jags if can't afford. Spurs may also be an option.

            1. Costa Nostra
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years

              I have Berty and Chambers already. Looking for a good attacking D for around 6.0

                If go man gala or jagielka

                  9 years, 6 months ago

                  Go Mangala. Everton stink in defence now. Particularly with Stones out.

                  1. The Hound
                    • 12 Years
                    9 years, 6 months ago

                    Yup my planned trade In two weeks is Moreno to mangala. A lot can happen though. Thinking it may be worse in the meantime with lovren out.....

                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  9 years, 6 months ago

                  Mandala is a central D...no attack at all, right? Jag is on fire actually, but I just don't trust Everton as far as I can throw them. This decision is hell!

                  1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 6 months ago

                    Not true. Mangala said himself he gets goals and nearly scored against Villa last week.

                    1. Costa Nostra
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 9 Years
                      9 years, 6 months ago

                      Well he best start backing that talk up !

                      What about kolorov fir 5.9 ? The guys money...takes free kicks from close range as well!

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sahko is the clubs best defender he's just not first choice with Rodgers.

  14. Venom Snake
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone have an educated guess as to when Ferdinand is likely to drop, if at all during the break?

    1. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      is the price predictor at FFF reliable?

      1. BeachBadger
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        None of them are but it seems the best of the lot so far

        1. Sebbo29
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          if you trust this one then Ferdi will not drop anytime soon. 87.9% progress with 0.03% progress/hour gives us around 400 hours, which would be at least 2 weeks

          1. Venom Snake
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Thanks for that!

      2. Venom Snake
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Apparently it's the most accurate

  15. The Man Pastore
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is Mangala nailed on?

    1. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Hope so. Think I'll be bringing him in this week

    2. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty much unless he puts in some poor performances. Demichellis is lurking

      1. Venom Snake
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Worth investment your reckon?

        1. BeachBadger
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          DOnt know man. Good fixtures but you could get Azpi at that price. And long term they seem to have a better run up til Christmas

    3. The Hound
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking in a few weeks he's my Moreno replacement.

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        They wouldn't have bought him for that amount of money if Pelligrini thought that Demichelis was up to the job IMO.

        1. The Hound
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          He's just getting a bit old. 34 ain't he?

  16. Marknlard
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Pleased to see Szczsz drop. Am stupidly thinking of getting him in for Begovic.

    1. The Hound
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      With kosc potentially injured would be madness.

      1. Marknlard
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        You're probably right.

  17. FortunesAlwaysHiding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Any chance that Luis will replace Azpil or Ivanovic at some point? Seems to good a player to be sat on the bench. Playing CL and cup games seems little reward for the money Chelsea splashed out on him.

    1. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      If he replaces anyone it will be Azpi. But as of now, it's no go for league.

    2. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      None unless the others slip up I think. Wil be a bargain when he gets his chance though.

    3. The Hound
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He cud replace terry or Cahill as well tbh, Ivan would cover at the centre. Deserves a chance though. My guess is it will happen when one of the four gets an injury.

    Anyone using FFF? I haven't signed up. It half sounds like the machine wants to run your team and where's the fun in that? Or do they have some useful tools that are worth experimenting with?

      I put my team in yesterday so I can observe price changes. Its quite good actually. I think I will only really use it for price changes though.

      1. Diva
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Do you think it more accurate than the others for that?

          • Has Moderation Rights

          Based on a sticky in last nights DZ yes it is more accurate.

    The most boring international break ever, No bandwagons, no price changes, so pleased used in the first international break

    1. Zasa
      • 9 Years

      Here's to hoping they crack the code before January

  21. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Morning DZ.

    Sterling +Pelle>>Chadli+Sturridge(-4)?

    Have Mane for Southampton cover. Also have Costa and Aguero.

    Would give me a midfield of;
    Fabregas(could become Walcott soon) Mane Chadli Siggy Boyd. Too weak?

    Thanks.

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Pelle out ahead of two home matches v lower teams???

      For a player yet to do ANYTHING?

      Sterling at QPR to Chadli at City????

      I think it is bedtime.

      1. Sebbo29
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        would have to agree here, no way i would trsf out Sterling or Pelle let alone both - with those upcoming fixtures...

    2. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Mght be weak but thats a heavy hitting attack.

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        What I want soon but NOW??

        THOSE moves?

        1. BeachBadger
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I wouldnt do it now. And def not for a hit

          1. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Excellent season so far sir keep it up

            1. BeachBadger
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Cheers mate. Couldve been so much more though. Can't really complain though 😆 You seem to be getting back on track too

          2. Sebbo29
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            nice line of greenies there bru, attaboy!

            1. BeachBadger
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Cheers mate

            2. BeachBadger
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Due a red soon 😆 You're ticking along nicely yourself

              1. Sebbo29
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                Thanks mate, not complaining but had a horrendous GW 4 when I captained Sterling iso Costa - missed the hattie and BR rested his best player - OUCH

                1. BeachBadger
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 6 months ago

                  Yeah that hurt a lot of people. I missed his double the week before but luckily had a decent captain. Not getting in Di Maria on my WC really cost me. Shame Aguero didnt bang a hat trick last week either lol Little lucky things like this going the wrong way always make you think of what might have been lol

                  1. Sebbo29
                    • 9 Years
                    9 years, 6 months ago

                    Yep so true lol
                    And GW 5 was the other way round: C on Costa and he got only 1 pt with Sterling getting 10. Those 2 decisions cost me 25 pts 😉

                    1. BeachBadger
                      • 10 Years
                      9 years, 6 months ago

                      Haha sure we'll get it right one of these days 😀 Good luck mate

                      1. Sebbo29
                        • 9 Years
                        9 years, 6 months ago

                        Thanks u2!

    3. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      ...off injury Sturridge too

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers, just asking. I think Sturridge will score loads of goals soon. He plays best when he's back from injury. These moves could be worth it. But I do agree, this week is probably too early.

  22. Angin out the Begović
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    DO you think Héctor Bellerín will get 2 games now chambers suspended ?

    1. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Chambers only suspended for 1 match. If Kos is out though Chambers will go centre back. and then he will get gametime probably

      1. Angin out the Begović
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Chambers is out till 25th

        1. Angin out the Begović
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          and Monreal cant play on the right correct?

          1. BeachBadger
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Monreal could potentially play on the right but unlikely I think Bellerin is preferred. IM no expert though. Not sure

        2. BeachBadger
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          No games this weekend. Chambers only misses one game

        3. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Only suspended for 1 game.

          Yes he can but Bellerin started in the UCL and played well. Might be given an occasioanal run the PL now.

          1. BeachBadger
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            That was it. Champions League. I knew Bellerin was playing but I couldnt remember when lol

            1. Angin out the Begović
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              dam thought he could potentially play the next 2 for arsenal

              1. BeachBadger
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                If Kos has a bad injury he might well do

            2. NABIL - FPL otai
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah that game against Dortmund he was a standout from a very lackluster team performance.

  23. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Wasn't on here yesterday much...

    Why did Gibbs start?

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'm guessing because it was an easy game?

      1. BeachBadger
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I would think this too. Chambers started as well and I heard he was terrible

      2. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Why start Welwank and Fat Bald Scouser then?

        Why not Berahino and co.

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Shrek missed enough chances for every male Brit alive...

          • 12 Years

          Doesn't mean they should start a complete B team. Better to mix in some fresh players in with the standard team

          1. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            How shit we have been and have become I'd start all kids/youth over the overpaid shit we call our first teamers.

            Night pal

  24. bigbudgie
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Wild Card in tact, 2 FTs done for a -4

    Bego
    Chambers Hutton Moore Clyne Duff
    Siggy Sterling ADM Fab Boyd
    Aguero Welbeck Costa

    Looks like 50,000 other teams out there I know

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      More like 500,000 😛

      Very good team, nonetheless.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        identical to my own except for two defenders,
        Game needs a reshuffle

    2. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      nothing wrong with a good template - it then comes down to the captain choice to get a possible differential

  25. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    So who will replace Stones in that Everton defence?

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Distin or Alcaraz. I have a feeling it will be the latter.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        If we could clarify before the next game it could just be the bargain defender I need.

        1. BeachBadger
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          4.3 😯

        2. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Beware about possible rotation though. Not sure there is a clear leading contender.

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Someone pasted yesterday that he is very sure it's going to be Alcaraz. Can't remember who.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah something about Distin not being on good terms with Roberto Martinez. I guess he wasn't too pleased about loosing his spot to Stones.

    2. Angin out the Begović
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nobody

  26. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    What the current templates seem to have come down to are simply Baines and Ivanovic in or Fab and a cheapie or two in at the back.

    I'm more than happy having Baines AND Ivanovic in over Fab, with the second highest mid in the game in Chadli as his understudy.

    The chances of a Wilson/Hutton/Fab 30-40pt week are a lot slimmer than an Ivano/Baines/Chadli 30-40pt week.

    He say she say of course, and if things change I will do accordingly.

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Team value has allowed a lot for me too but I earned that right eh?

      Welbeck is just within reach .2m off ATM. Costa. Aguero naturally

    2. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah template seems to be forming that way alright. I may take a punt on Alcaraz if he comes in.

  27. rasmus14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Should I take wilson and sterling to baines and chadli/henderson for -4?

    1. Zasa
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No. Not right now.
      Wilson to Baines, yes. Who are your other mids?

      1. rasmus14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        di maria, fab, siggy, and cattermole. i can only get baines by freeing up a couple mil. i have aguero, costa, and pelle also.

        1. Zasa
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Fab for me is more expendable than the others. Downgrade him to Chadli/downing.
          I'd check out the Cattermole situation later & play out Pelle too see if you could swap for Welbz

    2. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      would not take out Sterling before QPR and other good fixtures. Can you take out another MID i.e. Fab?

      1. rasmus14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I don't think I can give him up, maybe I will have to wait.

    You guys reckon this back line is a bit too much investment?

    Adrian | 4.0
    Baines | Azpi | Clyne | (Chambers , Duff)

    Total = 31.8m

    1. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      not too much imo, still leaves you with a good front 7 I reckon (Chadli, Siggy, ADM, Sterling, Welbz, Pelle, Costa) - or similar

      1. Zasa
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Pelle to Aguero & you've got my front 7 for the coming weeks 🙂

        1. Sebbo29
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          well even better then 🙂

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No. But with this defence Chambers wont get a chance to start 🙂

      1. BeachBadger
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Mightnt be a bad thing 😆

        Good point, see him as a good replacement for any of my big hitters if there's an injury concern or when a downgrade becomes necessary

        Plan for the worst they say ;).

      nope

      Mine will be

      Forster, 4.0
      Baines, Ivanovic, Chambers, Duff, Moore

      Total = 35.5m

      BTW I think you did your math wrong

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        31.8 for the named ones...plus 4.0m keeper

      2. Zasa
        • 9 Years

        Very nice backline, & yeah you're right w/ Gilks it'd be 35.8

          Getting Baines this week for PVA and will sell Naylor in a week or two for Chambers. With Forster covering the Saints back line its the way forward imo.

          1. Zasa
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Good moves, good moves.

            Though Forster would have been my pick a few weeks back.
            Do you really fancy his chances for a CS? Come GW 13 - 21, he's got terrible fixtures.
            Facing top 5 opposition in 7 out of those 9 fixtures.
            Wouldn't you rather spread the risk & get Alderweireld instead? He'd fit perfectly in that defense, any of Moore or Chambers can watch his back for those tough fixtures.

              Yeah thats the problem with having only 1 keeper. I'll be hoping he can get plenty of save points to make up for it.

              Clyne or Bertrand are great but then it gets hairy when rotating them with Chambers. Perhaps they rotate perfectly I don't know. Its just the way my team is set up at the moment. Nothing wrong with having a different keeper and having Clyne/Bertrand.

    5. Stupendous

      Baines. Ivanovic. Clyne here

      Soon potentially. Baines. Ivanovic. Mangala/Kompany

      1. Zasa
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I'd fancy that farther down, though w/ your TV, go for it mate.

    6. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      NOpe. good for the long run where chmabers can replace Clyne for the bad fixtures

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        This. U talk a lot of sense.

        1. BeachBadger
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers mate. I try to look at things logicaly. Doesnt always work out though 😛

        Great minds

    If you had to pick one from Mane or Tadic, who would you go for chaps?

    1. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I personally like Mane - could be a nice differential, Tadic not too convincing imho

    2. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Toss up at the minute. Mane a bigger goal threat I feel but Tadic has all the stats and most set pieces. Neither has delivered yet though

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Still Tadic, and I got him - due to set pieces. But I can also see him becoming like Modric - pre-assist expert and that's gonna be frustrating.

    4. Zasa
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Tadic, though his lifeline is shrinking as his good run finishes Gw13 for me.

    Night dz...may these next 8days fly by!
