QPR’s home hitman hogs the array of impressive numbers on show from the weekend, ably assisted by stellar showings from Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen. Elsewhere in our regular members’ statistical digest, we examine how Man City’s tactical tweaks influenced two of their key midfielders and analyse how a pair of returning United assets are hinting at major hauls as their minutes begin to build.
He scores when he wants 😀
hope podolski and one of campbell/sanogo starts v qpr
Yeah, all 3 of them deserves to start and get some minutes now
cameo enough
Do any of you walk around the house in a chugging motion repeating "Yayayayayayayyayayayayyayayayayayayyayaya Toooouuuurrrreeeeeee", as if you were a train?
And I mean one of those old kind of steam engine locomotives rather than one of these fancy Dan Japanese trians that float above magnetic rails.
drug or alcohol?
Both.
its realy hard to say. neither is awesome 🙂
ready for a yellow card and ban next game choo choo chooooo

He really misses them.
How many points do you guys have this gameweek?
34. Captaining Bony screwed me over.
I did the same.
Bizarrely, I'm going to do the same this week!!I've already dumped him for Giroud. Was lacking 0.1 for Yaya > Silva + Sakho > Giroud so just had to man up and get rid of Bony.
62, 3 che to play.
this ! 😀
60
33 till now
plus costa + fab + Ivanovic to play
hoping for the best
67
63, triple Chelsea attack left 😮
70 + Costa, Haz, Azpi to play
54 with 3 CHE to play.
70, + Hazard and Costa left, Naylor from the bench With 5 points
60 with 3 with azpi, oscar and costa to play. Plus i get 2points from the bench.
with 3 of
58 with 3 chelsea to go (including Haz as captain)
54 with three Chelsea to play
Do people only post their score when its good or did everybody just have a great week ? 48 points here and 2 to go
I think you are correct. 33pts for me with Costa (c), Hazard and Begovic left.
73 w Costa n Haz.
Since I can't do Siggy Sakho > Downing Austin without doing a 3rd transfer and a hit (0.1 over the budget)
Thinking Sakho Clyne Siggy > Milner JT Austin for a hit.
Team is Guzan/Alnwick - Clyne/Naylor/Vergini/Hutton/Yun - Hazard/Yaya/Sanchez/Siggy/Boyd - Rooney/Costa/Sakho. Been floundering for the past 2 weeks, just inside 20k.
Any other suggestions?
Should I Clichy > Zaba with 1.1 ITB or upgrade one of Chambers, Siggy, Boyd or Hutton? (I have good money locked on Chambers and Siggy)
I'd upgrade Chambers as I think his time is up
Right then.
2FT's and bugger all transfers I want to do with my team.
Looks like being Krul -> Panti (HUL) and play him over Guzan (swa)
Help please
Baines + Yun > Zaba + Debuchy for free?
Current team:
___________Guzan____________
Baines____Azpilicueta___Dummett
Siggy__Sanchez_Hazard____Yaya
Austin_____Benteke_______Costa
Subs: Elliot, Downing, Wisdom, Yun
2 FTsdont bother with yun, maybe siggy to silva and baines to zaba ?
Holding Baines for 1 more I think?
Do one of the cheap trio to a Sun defender?
cheers mate
sounds positive for Siggy
Adrian / Gilks
Baines Azpil Chambers Zabaleta (Hutton)
Haz Sanchez Nasri (Downing Boyd)
Costa Austin Benteke
...with 0.5 ITB, looking at doing Adrian out for the festive fixture. Guzan looks best - what do you lot reckon?
What would y'all do?
Pantil
So, since Arsenal were so poor yesterday, can we see major rotation v QPR, or have they got literally no-one else??
Podolski is always wheeled out for a couple of Christmas crackers
Strikers is a place where they have options for sure, but mid and defence is short
Not alot to choose from on the bench. Podolski maybe the only contender for one of the top 3 attacking places (Walcott a cameo on boxing day surely)
Arsenal can't afford to drop points against QPR. I think they will start with almost the same team.
Kos (if fit) on for Chambers
Podolski on for Sanchez
Also think they will plan to rest a few players if they go a few goals up
62+ Fab/Haz/Azpi
Also got trolled by Rangel coming on for 10 mins while Clyne pines.
Taken from City's Bluemoon Forum:
" I personally would be very surrpised if there aren't significant changes between the 2 games. Certainly that is the indicator from last year when Pellegrini made 6 changes from the team that played Liverpool to the one that struggled against Palace.
At the back Zab, Lescott and Kolorav were replaced by Clichy, Nasty and Boyata. In the middle and up front Nasri, Ya Ya and Negredo were replaced by Milner, Garcia and Dzeko. He used 3 subs in the game - Negredo, Nasri and Kolorav.
Interestingly YaYa was on the bench and not used. "
Injuries etc this year may influence Pellegrini's thinking but....
Guzan / Given
Baines / Azpi / Hutton / Naylor / Moore
Yaya / Hazard / Sanchez / Siggy / Downing
Costa / Kane / Austin
1.4 ITB, 2 FT, playing 352:
Guzan/Siggy > Hart/Henderson
A) YES
B) NO
http://www.espnfc.com/liverpool/story/2211326/daniel-sturridge-key-for-liverpool-resurgence-says-brendan-rodgers
There he goes again, pinning all this hope on Sturridge publicly.
He is right, though. Whether all this pressure on Sturridge will backfire remains to be seen....
Is Duff still out for the forseeable? Get rid?
If you've got the transfer free then do it. A squad is important the next 2 weeks.
Chambers > Kolo Toure a decent move if Chambers looks to be out of the XI for Arsenal?
Any captaincy warnings for us this week? 😉
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/12/20/the-pre-match-preamble-gameweek-17-3/?hc_page=11#hc_comment_9205918Haha touche. I still very nearly captained him but went for Costa instead. Hope you didn't listen to me!
Ignored you completely... 😉
A few facts about Santi Cazorla over the past 4 GWs:
- 9 key passes
- 13 goal attempts (Most from midfielders)
- Out of the 13 attempts, hit the target 5 times (Second most from all midfielders)
- Involvement in 22 goal attempts
- Received 3 big chances (Most from midfielders) – converted all 3
- Created 2 big chances (Second only to Stewart Downing)ANDDD, I post it on the old post 🙁
GARRY Monk hopes to have Gylfi Sigurdsson, Leon Britton and Jefferson Montero back in the fold when Swansea City host Aston Villa on Boxing Day.

Apologies to everyone on here for acting like an idiot
just frustrated not putting austin in anyways time to move on
guzan
terry clyne baines chambers
sig haz sanchez erriksen
kane costa any changes or keep thinking erriksen to sterling
Fairly stuck here
Pantilimon (HUL) [Fabianski (AVL)]
Hutton (swa) N. Taylor (AVL) Wisom (MCI) [Yun (ars) Dummet (mun)]
Yaya Sanchez Sterling Silva [Boyd]
Costa Austin Bony
0 FT and 1.5 itb
Want to get Zaba in but will need to do a couple of swaps, anything worth a hit there? My back line is looking weak
what is the probability of zab being rotated again during the festive period?
High. He will miss one on the balance of probabilities.
Which one is least likely to be rotated?
- Terry
- Cahill
- Ivanovic
pick your poison
Hutton (swa)
Dummett (mun)
Yun (ars)
I have to play one :/
Sunderland defender of choice?
Hi all....who would you captain for boxing day out of.
Giroud...qpr..h
Sanchez...qpr...h
hazard or Costa....hammers ..hhazard
Despite Chelsea having tougher game?u don't reckon giroud could bag a couple v rangers?
There is one thing you can be certain, is that Chelsea will play a better game vs west ham than arsenal will play to QPR.
Giroud is not very good, any other team besides liverpool would have destroyed and punished arsenal.
Sanchez might be rested and you dont want to risk a 5 min cameo
Also, check hazards points at home gamesMate....I like your thinking.....
advise me on chambers......Is it worth swapping him for zabaleta for 4pt loss?
do u reckon chambers will play v qpr....or will bellerin or kos play.
am ahead in my mini leagues so can afford 4pts and want zabaleta for citys next 2 home games.He will play vs qpr I would look to try to get zaz in but not for a hit especially for somebody with qpr at home
Hi need some advices for next GW
Heaton (hamer)
Chambers Jags Taylor (yun hutton)
Mirallas(inj?) fab Sanchez hazard (cork)
Bony Austin RVP
1FT 0.4ITB
Not sure what I should prioritise this week
if mirallas still injured I guess he has to go...
if fab does nothing this week i'd like to switch him for Silva...
but should I play it safe and give more bench options (since im struggling to field a full team) Cork > Boyd
9 years, 4 months agoGoals against City, Everton, United, Newcastle and Liverpool for Giroud this season.
