In light of Sergio Aguero’s knee injury, we delve into the data to highlight a number of forwards’ weekend displays. Wilfried Bony and Robin van Persie’s fine form arrives under the spotlight, whilst we also assess Diego Costa’s recent toils for Chelsea. The Gunners’ weekend scorers and Tottenham’s in-form Dane are also amongst this evening’s topics as Fantasy managers look to spend that left over budget from the Aguero fall-out.

apologies. im on a bustrip with my office. going on a river rafting trip.
*burpSounds like fun. Try not to lose anyone overboard. I'm sure you appreciate your co-workers 😉
beer overboard!
Do you know what difficulty level the river is? anything 4 or more should be challenging. Might struggle to hold a beer
nice!! Thanks fort the advice last week Christina! Oscar over Silva payed off...
and by any chance do you know Ms. South Africa?cool. unfort i dont know her. 🙁
finally looking like DZ. Hence my return 😉
Yep. Like the slow pace. Less scrolling is always a good thing
Anyone opposed to doing the following transfers?
Diego Costa --> Austin
&
Boyd --> Yaya ToureShould've added that it's for a hit.
Although check price changes. It might be more profitable to leave it till later in the week.
Ok, thanks Ryan!
They look like solid moves imo
Some opposition. While I'd recommend you get Austin and replace Boyd, A) Yaya in my opinion is wayyyy too expensive at 10.7 (last time I checked) and B) Costa will keep scoring so. You should bring in Austin for one of your other strikers. Don't know who your other midfielders are but there's Eriksen, Mirallas, Mata, Cazorla, Downing, Siggurdson, etc..
Thanks for your opinion, but with all the spare cash from Aguero I can afford him and with Aguero out I think they'll rely on Yaya more than ever. My front 8 ATM reads:
Sanchez - Hazard - Siggy - Downing (Boyd)
Costa - Benteke - Sakho
Good moves but Costa could rise. Give it a few more days.
Ok, thanks!
Poor in my opinion. Yaya is going to get a ban sooner rather than later. And Costa is clearly a better option than Austin. He will score more.
Thanks for your opinion! I know Yaya is on 4 yellows but who knows, he could go through the next couple without picking up a booking and for me that's good enough. Not sure about that, Chelsea's upcoming fixtures don't read too well and I can always get Costa back on the January wildcard.
good moves
Thanks Moin!
So that's 3 for and 2 against, looks like I'm going ahead with the transfers!
One more against here matey
Your move is to get rid of one of the worlds best strikers who is leading the the line for the best team in the league for a guy who plays up top for QPR
Also City aren't the free scoring team there were last year
Oh and it's -4?
So if I just have Baines today. Will I lilely drop in my OR at present? (As in after bench effects etc) or would I joke around the same
I would say a clean sheet to stay where you are
Cheers that certainly would be lovely
As long as Caulker can have one to it would be truly spiffing
No you'll either stay the same or go up in rank depending on how Baines goes
Heaton
Baines azpi naylor wisdom yun
Yaya sanchz hazard siggy marney
Costa bony austin
1ft 0.3 in the bank
Suggestions pls???Save
Save
Save it. Azpi -> JT if that guy's still out.
The FPL cup will start in Gameweek 18. Waiting for this! 😎 what does winner gets?
A slap in the puss
😯 Doesnt sound good...
P.S. Thanks for terminating "Mission Dzeko" 🙂Did I? No problem I wish I could have prevented my own transfers
My transfers this week were frankly terrible. Yaya, Azpi & Rooney in for Fabregas, Chambers & Aguero for a hit. The only good thing was my captain choice. Now I am half tempted to take another hit to bring in RVP & Downing this week.
all good long term moves theyll pay off over time . dunno about the hit though
That is the issue isn't it. Just regret last week really.
0.1 short of doing Siggy -> Eriksen straight swap. Aarrgghhh...
That always seems to happen.
This game can be so cruel 🙁
siggy was shite yesterday swap for downing?
Downings fixtures about to take a major turn for the worse
Back him to score more than sigg he was awful yesterday
just chelsea away really, dont see ars at upton park as a tough fix for downing necessarily
when was the last time sigg did anything pissing me off now
Siggy vs Hull (A), Aston Villa (H) & Liverpool (A)
Downing vs Leicester (H), Chelsea (A) & Arsenal (H)
I wouldn't do that
Green
Cresswell | Clyne | Baines
Hazard | Sánchez | Sigurdsson | Yaya
Austin | Bony | Dzeko
Foster | NTaylor | O'Shea | Albrighton
1 FT & £0.3 ITB
Dzeko >> £8.4 striker .. who?
Thanks!Goroouuuuuudd 😀
This or Kane and then upgrade Siggy with spare cash
Giroud
Donkey >> Donkey ?? 🙂
giroud
We have the same frontline and I think I'll be going for Giroud. Although you might benefit from having a West Ham attacker (I already have Downing)
giroud
actually, SAKHO/carrol ! cap him this week
Giroud
cheers fellas!
sakho to Austin or clyne to mangala/demi?
Sell Clyne
I did Clyne > Clichy last night
Pity he will share game time with Kolarov over the xmas period
I'll just have to beef up my bench
clichy rotated or not,?
mangala on 4 yc
for which city def..
feckit. downing is killing me.
rooney at CM is killing me. bought RVP earlier today. 🙂
He scored a goal at least. Definitely time to sell though
indeed. grooming him into the next scholes 😡
hi doc
rvp is temptingeasy captaincy choice for next GW
Pretty fortunate to get that haul though.
Siggy ➡ Hazard worth a hit? (have Costa and don’t have Bony fwiw)
I'd be worried going without Haz every week.
yeah, i know the feeling
Bony or Giroud?
Have both Siggy and Sanchez
Bony
Which city def to get cnt afford zab
Hart or Demi
Thanks now who to cpt this week...
Demi probably
sterling had tons of chances today playing up front. crazy
Since it is quiet
Foster
Caulker - Clyne - Azpi
Boyd - Siggy - Hazard - Sanchez - Yaya
Costa - Rooney
0.2 in bank 1 x FT
I will have no subs who will play unless Duff comes back. What would you suggest?
I find it interesting that I have the exact cash to do
Duff -> Demi
Yay?
Or transfer out Chambers instead and bank 0.7m?demi looks nailed for now
don't get rid of chambers; he'll be playing until kos is back (january)Yeah he's my choice of City defender.
Will leave me with Clyne Chambers Boyd bench. Useful for the festive period.
Althogh I was hoping I can do Eriksen - Sterling later on for a 2 week punt.
duff out is a priority, chambers will get a start with kosc injury etc
Cool.
Its a yay from me. Chambers might yet keep a starting spot (possibly CB?)
Yeah hes likely to be.
Its just that whether my bench is *too strong* with Clyne and Chambers
Duff to Demi for sure
Thanks bro
When is M.duss expected back? Hurting to have an injury on the bench..transfer out worth a hit?
He's staying on my bench for now.
Wait till Friday if possible for further news.
yeah. on any other day he would have had 3.
i might go carroll and sterlingcarroll was impressive against sunderland
how about Sakho?
decent, but big andy was the man
could form a formidable partnership for the hammers. bye bye enner
Sterling? are you sure?
Which one is the best move for me?
A. Fab -> Haz
B. Costa & Siggy -> Giroud & Hazard (-4)
C. Siggy & Naylor -> Erik & 4.6(-4)
Guzan Elliot
Baines JT Naylor Hutton Wisdom
Sanchez Yaya Fab Siggy Downing
Costa Austin SakhoA
I don't like any of those moves.
so what do you reckon, Think Tank?
I'd most likely save the FT to be honest.
Failing that, a City/Che defender in.
Haz -> Fab was my worst transfer. EVER.
guess the gained TV influenced you 😉
Got mad when Haz dropped 0.1. And guess what? Gained nothing from Cesc so far. Yikes.
forgot to add
D. Naylor -> Demi/Zaba
A.
B is kneejerkery.
C likewise.A is sensible but B looks goooood.
Gru? Seriously?
Come back tomorrow with a clear head 😉I wish LR is here to back me up. 😛
I'd save tbh. Hazard's away this week.
P.S. big matchup this week 😉
Carlton cole dropped in price.
That implies people picked him in first placeQuestions need to be asked.
Cometh the hour, cometh the Yun.
Hope not!
#colemanbainesBlimey, Tank. Double trouble 😯
Just hoping Everton don't get sucker-punched with one shot on goal against them, like Hull.
I suspect QPR might offer something more than Hull - going forward anyway - not sure a cs is on the offering though.
A Yun clean sheet then him auto subbed in for Zaba would be welcome but think my mini league rivals might kill me
There hasn't been a "surprise" result yet so we're due. EVR home form not too flash either.
Nah, Baines' show. 😉
My worst mightmare x 10000000
start
Clyne vs EVE (H)
or
NTaylor vs HULL(A)
Thanks!Clyne
Clyne
Tricky one. These are the sort of games SWN get a cs.
Clyne
i'd go with clyne
Thanks guys
naylor ^
a.Adrian-->hart?
b.montero-->eriksen?
Time for some stupid moves, any of them looks okish?
A) Coleman to O'Shea and Rooney to RvP
B) Coleman, Benteke and Tiote to Demi, Kane, Cazorla/Nasri/EriksenIgnore. They are really stupid moves with no backbone...
why? -8? benching headaches?
-4 but benching headaches
i like B with Eriksen or Nasri
Coleman >> Zab A no need to change Rooney to RVP
a but I don't think Sunderlands fixtures are good enough tbh to be investing in the defence how much do you wan't to spend on that spot max?
4.9
B w Eriksen
Stick or twist with Chadli?
Chadli seems to only play Europa & Cup games.. twist..
twist
this
Twist.
Get rid.
Did anyone watch the Swans v Spurs game? How did Kane play? I have him and thinking a captain option for me this week? Did he play up top or just behind Solardo? Thanks
Highlights only
Quite well, looked lively
Not sure about that
Behind Bob Salado
You're welcomeThanks
up top .. was dangerous during set pieces..
Amazing awareness (just that knack for the ball) which I believe you either have it or you don't. Involved in both goals. His constant pressure on the ball forced the mistake by Bartley which led to the winning goal, so work rate is there. Still as an owner, I wouldn't go as far as captaining him next week even vs Burnley. I think just owning him at this point is differential enough as it is.
He played well. Could have had 3. Played up top mostly from what I saw, didn't see Soldado do much.
Bony was unfortunate also.
Fabregas ➡ Hazard for free - Yay or Nay ?
Yay
not this week imo
This, I think.
contemplating same move.
Dzeko >> Carroll(C) vs Leicester(H) this GW
&
Carroll >> Giroud(C) vs QPR(H) next GW
Yay or Nay?
I brought hart in for de Gea yesterday, good shout? Or wasted transfer?
brought him in for Forster. MU defense to dicey. God, DeGea is on in it though.
sounds like a waste to me.. other area sorted?
9 years, 4 months agoIs it me or are things a lot quieter now?
