We turn our attentions to the weekend’s nine matches now and delve into the data in our first member’s article of the week. Chelsea, Man City and Tottenham’s goalscoring midfielders arrive on our radar, whilst Swansea’s in-form frontman and Andy Carroll’s impact on West Ham’s style of play are also amongst this evening’s topics.
This. On 28 but with only 3 Soton players left. This gameweek has been so bad for me...
I don't think it does, they're each independent events, no causal relation
someone mentions something about that b4 the gw but of cos we know its independent event.
though its really unlucky that we have come to the worst situation where all 4 never play and to make it worse chadli is not even flagged back then.
Did Tottenham say anything about the potential length of Chadli's absence through injury?
Been nothing from Poch, but apparently it's a minor injury according to a spurs guy in the know
Michael Bridge @MichaelBridge_ 9h9 hours ago
@realdealdanny Ade and Chadli are minor injuries. No idea on Younes and Capoue.cheers.
More uncertainty then. I'm definitely waiting on transfers until the end of this week!
Great to know. The big decision of the week is whether to keep Chadli or Tadic. I think it's time for Tadic to go.
haha, I am just after you 😀
Don't normally do this but, since it's unlikely to ever happen again: Currently ranked 43rd in the world!!
Excellent stuff!!
Great work mate, keep it up!!
Whoa massive. Keep at it fella.
Superb! Keep going.
Fair play Duff, that's just brilliant!
Well done, give yourself a pat on the back!
Nice!
Nothing wrong with being proud of a rank like that
*43th
*43rd
Top, top, rank. Wish you all the luck to keep it going! 🙂
Speaking of which Doos I'm up to 2nd in LAWR main 🙂
Wow! - Nice one - haven't looked, yet. 🙂
Well while we are at it
Doos I am first in my kennel club
Thanks guys! Feels very surreal seeing my team on the first page of the rankings - that's definitely a first!
Any left to play or from bench
Could go higher
Superb. Link to your team isnt connected to your username tho.....
It's a duff link 🙂
Ba boom chaa
Reeepost
Begovic > Fabinaski
For - 4 pts
YES
NOLots of options with 2FT's (and a cheeky hit but I can't see past Clyne -> Azpi for free.
Krul
Azpi, Baines, Chambers, Hutton
Fab, Sanchez, Downing
Costa, Aguero, Pelle
Bego, Boyd, Wanyama, Chester
That'll do, right?
Other options include:
Bego, Clyne, Pelle -> Elliot, Azpi, Bony for a -4 hitGood stuff, have you considered Naylor/Bartley?
Instead of Azpi?
Thoughts on Kane? I have Sakho currently but considering the switch as an easy way to get Aguero in?
See previous page -
Austin better as more assured of starts and takes pens...
BUT Kane great form and cheaper... If he continues to play then great optionI think he's a good option. Better than Austin for me as you'd expect him to have more chances to score from
Unless Pelle convinces me otherwise tonight, with form and fixtures Xmas schedule, I will do this later this week:
Clyne, Pelle, ElAhmedi --> TERRY, SIGGY, AUSTIN (don't worry about the hits)
Look about right, or is anyone keeping their Southampton?Ditching Pelle. Keeping Clyne - everyone seems to forget that Southampton have one of the best defences in the league so far this season, potential attacking returns and the odd clean sheet. Clyne (or Bertrand) is a season keeper for me...
They have had easy fixtures all season though.
Sorry, but I can't be convinced that their defenders continue to represent value.
Pelle, maybe.MCI ars MUN burn EVE cpl CHE ARS mun
That's a seriously tough schedule!....
I am keeping Clyne.
Who do you think will keep
More clean sheets over next 6, SOTH OR CHE?Well, Chelski should ... but ...
do the last 2 without terry. i will at least give clyne one more gw or sold him to terry for a free
Looking to remove 2 Saints defenders this week. What's the consensus amongst you good folk:
A) Baines & Yun
B) Terry & RangelA, easy
B for sure due to fixtures and spread
That was my thought too. Plus a little concerned of gametime if Leighton's not 100% and they have 3 league games in 8 days.
Cheers
b
B for short term..after a few weeks change to baines when he is fully fit and have played city away.
Kept my transfer last week to specifically have two to get in Costa this week. So why is Wayne Rooney haunting my thoughts
Would he be a better option.help.If you had Hazzard I nearly would...
Have fab.just feel Rooney is the way to go. Gonna get Costa in the next couple of weeks too to have those two and aguero up top.
Because he scored and picked up bonus points.. Tough call Rooney or Costa I guess it depends if you have Chelsea or Man U cover in midfield if Chelsea might be worth a punt..
Costa on 4 yellows and doesn't pickup bonus points very offen but nice fixtures
Rooney playing deeper cheaper also nice fixtures
I've put him in this week but already have Costa and Aguero

Guys, I have expensive ml in UCL, leading with 264, 2nd: 263, 3rd: 251.
I used my WC already and now got 2 injuries and 2 defenders not nailed. I need help!
Moya / Soroko
Rakitskiy / Suchy / Lichtsteiner / SIQUIERA / FILIPE LUIS
Hazard / James / Mario / REUS / LUCAS
Luiz / CR7 / Alexis
Reus is definitely out but there is no expensive replacement, so looking for upgrading def.
SIQUIERA/FILIPE/REUS > JUANFRAN/TERRY/KOKE (-4)
What do you think guys? Does it make sense to improve defenders from the same team to have 100% they start for hits ? Really appreciate your help!Do it defo as u can sub out players so sometimes 5 at the back also serves as best retort
I can even go further, giving Messi form.
SIQUIERA/FILIPE/REUS/alexis > JUANFRAN/TERRY/brahimi/messi (-6)
-6 is not too much giving such improvements, right ? And it all will be details...
Which is the best - 3 Chelsea players - combo ?
a) 2 def + 1 mid
b) 2 def + Costa
c) 1 def + 1 mid + Costa
d) 1 def + 2 mid
e) 2 mid + Costa
For me its c but i want your opinion too . ThanxI m going towards E
Hazard + Oscar + Costa
Worth a gamble with those fixtures..
Not fab coz I do not have the bench to support 2 suspended players
what team is likely to keep CS
Swansea Swansea Vs Crystal Palace
QPR QPR Vs LeicesterSol Sol why why??
i am thinking to get either Yun or Bartley 🙂
maybe both qr and lei
Both but Swans more
Any idea on which GW Yun leaves for Asia Cup of Nations? And Bony & Yaya for ACON?
Mid January.
I do not want to sell downing..
Hes played really well
Any consensus on the injury..
Any west ham fan ?
And for those asking about McNair.
Yes he will play until he makes a mistake..
Example : fellaini over hetrara due to form and not just name
reposting
Guzan
Rose,Clyne,Baines,Dummett,Wisdom
Di María,barkley,Downing,Sigurdsson,Oscar
Augero,Pellè,Sakho
Should i do
A)Barkely>Hazard
Augero>Costa
B)Barkley>Wanyama
Pelle> Costa
Rose> Azpilicueta (take -4 hit)
2FT
please suggest.I like B but save money with Boyd instead of Wanyama then maybe Austin in for Sakho if Sakho out injured for a while
B
Check out my latest article
http://www.90min.com/posts/1579970-the-8-most-underrated-premier-league-wingers
Morning. Looking for some advice please
Clyne, Chambers, Chester, Wisdom, Dummett
2FT £0.5 ITB and some serious surgery needed on that backline. Unwilling to downgrade any of my mids and forwards to free up funds and have 3 Chelsea already. Any suggestions?
Who are your three Chelsea players?
I know you don't want to downgrade any forwards, but would be easier to see your team.
Naylor is a shout - Swansea have some nice fixtures, only problem is he is on 4 YCs.Rest of team:
Guzan, Gilks
Fabreags, Hazard, Sanchez, Sigurdsson, Boyd
Aguero, Costa, AustinI'd probably lose one of Haz / Fab so you could upgrade Clyne to Ivan/other Chels defender and get some nice clean sheet points.
Although that three worked quite well this week.
Southampton fixtures:
MCI ars MUN burn EVE cpl CHE ARS mun
That's a seriously tough schedule. Do you think they can continue their defensive form?No
i dont think so. i would go for Chelsea defenders if i can
nope. i doubt they can keep up but it remains to be seen whether their replacements can keep cs or not.
favorite replacements are swans westham chelsea DEF.
Swans are decent at home but many already has naylor so he is not really a replacement for many.
cresswell/tomkin look the standout option for westham but they are not keeping CS.
Personally am not fully convinced abt chelsea def but i think they are the most sensible option to replace soton def.
so i would say either pay 6m+ for che def..if not u will risk the fact that u might be worse off after the soton def saleAbsolutely agree. For me it is upgrade to CHE or downgrade to SWA/QPR cheapie for fixtures and rotation.
I will go for Terry I think.haha gd luck! and may terry score a goal for u
They don't need to, they just need to continue to offer value for money, which I think they will, so I'm keeping Clyne and selling Bertrand.
Thankfully it has obviously been low scoring at towards the top, as 33 (with Bertrand and Tadic to play) has only dropped me from 440 to 492. Pre-planned transfers still look good?
Tadic and Welbeck -> Downing and Costa (-4)?
Any news on Downing? Expected to play next week?
Tadic & Ulloa -> Sigg & Austin
Good move?
Yes
yepp
both SWA and QPR fixtures excellent and have both shown form... makes sense.
Seems ok
Yep.
Cheers guys!
Current team -
Adrian - Gilks
Baines - Clyne - Bertrand - Hutton - Moore
Sanchez - Fab - Siggy - Tadic - Boyd
Aguero - Costa - Sakho
2FT and 0.1 ITB
What would you do with 2FT this week with that squad? Will shift one of the SOU defenders. Quite keen on getting Hazard in
Currently thinking -
A) Fab, Tadic & Bert > Hazard, Bolasie & Azpi (-4)
B) Fab, Tadic & Bert > Hazard, Oscar & Yun (-4)
C) Bert > Naylor
D) Tadic, Bert & Sakho > Hazard, Yun & Kane (-4)
Thanks in advanceI feel I must share a great bit of skill I witnessed this weekend
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYLblymhp28Nice 🙂
Giru or Bony ?
bony always
Bony imo
Bony at the moment.
1mill in bank for Moore upgrade next game week any suggestions?
Fab (McCarthy)
Azp Chmbers Yun (Saylor Moore)
Hazard Sanchez Downing Siggy(Boyd)
Rooney Costa AgueroWould Wanyama -> Dyer be like Frying Pan -> Fire?
Probably, I'd look at other options.
I know but top scoring MIDS under 5.4m are few and far between.
Is it for a 4th mid? I'd probably try to find funds from elsewhere to upgrade. It is tough, I'm trying to fund a Costa move and can't see any options other than Downing.
Swansea wingers is going to be like a merry-go round. But the fixtures are quite enticing.
I wouldn't be too confident with his minutes with Montero in there now.
Depends on whether you want a benchwarmer or not also.
Still gutted that ADM that one-on-one 🙁
Form is dropping ... 🙁
Question is: what to do?Im keeping for they fixtures. I think he'll come good. Hes slowly ticking over.
Keep for next 2 and move on to Yaya?
Welbeck ? One more week ? Or switch to bony
I'm ditching.
One more week
1. I've used my FT
2. Giroud will be eased back in - after this double weekend I'll ditch for Costa
Switch to Bony I think.
Join us 😎
Wilfried, Wilfried.. Wilfried...... Wilfried.if u are getting bony u need to get him right now for the next fixture to maximize your benefit of that move. otherwise you are just missing out on an opportunity to get good points
Trying to do something this week:
A. Clyne to Cresswell
B. Welbeck to Carroll
C. Berahino to Austin
D. Pieters to Caulker
E. Pieters to McNair
F. Clyne to Clichy
G. Tadic to Willian
What is your top 3 transfers of this list?C, D, A
A and C. Don't like Caroll, Caulker, McNair, Clichy and Willian.
OK, it's going to be Bego + Clyne -> Elliot + Terry
Have you seen the STK fixtures?
liv, mun, ARS, cpl, CHE
😯Or Cahil.
Or Azpi.Or Bottom of the Page so no one reads it. Feck.
I would avoid Terry, and I'd still fancy both Baines and Coleman over any Chelsea defender.
Cheers bub.
Already got Baines so looking to spread the love.I just don't like JT 😉
9 years, 5 months agoBaines, Chadli, Downing & Henderson are all listed at 75% chance of playing. That means, theoratically 3 of them should play.
None of them played!! I haven't even got enough substitutes.
At 22 now with 3 people left to play.
