With Gameweek 21 done and dusted, we dig deep into the data in our regular Sunday evening article. A trio of in-form midfielders at Arsenal, Man City and Swansea are amongst tonight’s topics, whilst we also assess United’s alarming attack, Burnley’s raiding right-back and the main men for West Brom and Palace as Tony Pulis and Alan Pardew kick-start their respective stints at the helm with a victory.
24-48 hrs I heard as time frame to know more.
Advice on WC team welcome 🙂
Krul (Hamer)
Terry, Bertrand, Clyne (Wisdom, Wasilewski)
Hazard, Sanchez, ADM, Chadli (Marney)
Kun, Costa, Kane
0.0 ITB
Thanks
Anyone but marney
solid
Thanks Both
Best team u can have at this moment...
Anyone else notice this article is posted under the wrong thing? can non-members see it?
Good spot. I'm sure they can! Lucky sods.
shush..no we can't
I demand a percentage refund
Probably a teaser with tenner price out
I did notice actually, lucky.
Need. To. Sleep. Wilcdard thoughts?
Price rises forcing my hand for a WC team... thoughts?
Foster
Wisdom - Clyne - Bertrand
Chadli - Sanchez – Hazard – Fabregarse
Kun - Kane - Costa
Myhill - Hutton - Wasilewski - BoydWould debate Hutton to Van Aanholt due to turn in fixtures. Good WC team though
Any chance that Hamer could keep starting?
I wouldn't bet on it.
not worth the risk for mine
It's a possibility
Basically torn between two WC teams. One has Panti and one Forster. Can have both in the to catch price changes while I decide.
Would mean that my second keeper would be McCarthy though (as Hamer would be at 4.1).
Does that make sense to do?What buy and decide later? Of course.
I'm in the same boat lol
Haha, happy to help if you need a second opinion.
Also, it means I can't afford Hamer as my backup keeper, that shouldn't be too bad right? (I'd feel bad if he somehow retained the #1 spot).
My team is currently full of plyers I dont really want but maybe I do and were going up in price lol
Bit if 3 are rising I'd have a proper think quick
Panti rose yesterday, caught his rise.
Other two rise today and I've been thinking on the team for ages but can't decide. Guess I'll roll without Hamer for now.
seems unlikely from what I read, but who knows. Might catch a price rise in meantime with all the moves. Not a safe longterm bet, to me.
Yup. He would be just a cheap backup but I can't catch the price rise if I'm looking to play it safe with my options.
I ask myself, why get Schwarzer?
Is Schmiechels injury worse than they are saying?Wasn't there talk of schmeichel getting dropped about half a dozen games in to season.
Maybe this is their chance to make it happenCould be or maybe Pearson doesn't have faith in Hamer. I'd guess the former.
Hamers been good,better than Schmiechel (who's name I can't spell).
You'd think Schwarzer would've been thrown in if Pearson had no faith.
I hazard a guess that he needs a sub from Hamer.I think it was too early to play Scwsrz anyway. But I'd guess schmichael is the loser. All off the top of my head as I've never really taken an intetest in them before 😀
That makes sense. Great point!
I'll run with Hamer on my WC.
What harm, eh?
If he doesn't play he's a £4m non playing if he does bonus.Well yeah, I was going to.
Thing is, I'm not sure of my WC yet. Two options: one has Panti and one Forster. Already caught Panti's rise yesterday and keeping Forster in the squad to catch his today. Means Hamer will cost me 4.1 and become unaffordable later. That's the right move here, correct?I've had him all season an it hasn't done me any harm 😀
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/dec/11/kasper-schmeichel-broken-foot-leicester-city
A month ago. So optimistic was 4-6 weeks out.
It could be worse, is it?
Chris Baird at 3.9 for West Brom. Has played last three. Has a history of getting a goal now and then. Worth a WC shout?
He could well be, but I would be very nervy with him as I have read some bad things about his actual ability to play good defense. Could be a position that Pulis buys before the window closes.
Well, he would be a 5th mid type with upside....he's a better or equivalent pick to Whatshisnameski on Leicester at 3.9 no?
Erm 5th D type
Defo. Gamble.
I think so
Thanks for all input chaps.
is it actually possible to get ADM, Aguero, Sanchez, Hazard and Costa all in to a team without having to have 2 terrible mids and a bad defence?
Yeah of course.
you can get it but you have either a bad defence or boyd + an unplayable mid
Quite easy.
I could do it with 2 transfers.I guarantee your defence would be terrible (no city or chelsea) and 2 average mids
that is not the definition of terrible defense.
Pants, Heaton
Terry, Bertrand, Wisdom, PVA, Hutton
Hazard, Sanchez, ADM, Coutinho, Boyd
Aguero Costa Kane
Can be done. That's my team.
Hamer Pantilimon
Bertrand Trippier Terry Wisdom Baird
Chadli Hazard Sánchez Di María Boyd
Agüero Kane Costa
Ur defense is not terrible without city or chelsea as long as you can find a smart defense
Yes,
Kane, backup keeper, SoTon, and no playing 5th mid
I could do this:
Forster, (Pants)
Cameron, Terry, Clyne, (Wisdom, Hutton)
Sanchez, Hazard, Chadli, ADM (Boyd)
Aguero, Kane, CostaYes
Yes. I can manage the following:
Foster/Myhill
Terry, Clyne, Wisdom, PVA, Wazza
Haz, Sanchez, ADM, Boyd, AJ/Hendo
Costa, Aguero, Kane
(Some would call AJ terrible; but reasonable team is possible!)
I've done it pretty easily, and my TV isn't amazing either.
Front 8 is ADM, Haz, Sanchez, Downing, Boyd, Aguero, Costa, Kane.
Defence is Terry, Bertrand, PvA, Baird, Wasi.
I have them all as well 🙂
Best © for next week?
I'll be on Hazard or Kane I guess.
very tough week to pull a good one out. I'm going with kane again and possibly aguero if I bring him back in
I'll go with Agüero.
Probable risers tonight:
Hamer
Bertrand
Wasilewski
Boyd
Sanchez
Probable fallers:
Benteke
Dawson
Gilks
Begovic.
Lots of Hamer love considering he probably won't play next GW
I'm sad as a Gilks owners...Just a few casual transfers here and there along with people on WC hoping a 4m keeper might keep his spot.
feks sakes...i'm gonna lose money on Gilks by the time he goes on my WC!
just hamer rising on FFF
Fpl stats is usually a little better for risers, what are their fallers?
same you've got above
They werent on the ball last night.
Is it better to bring in some player just cos they are rising over someone who may be a short term punt..
Worth getting in Boyd or any other risers today?
Gilks falling doesn't help either.
Guzan, Gilks
Zabaleta, Cahill, Wisdom, Naylor, Clyne
Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy, Sterling, Downing
Austin (6.1), Costa (11.1), Kane
2 Ft's, 3.0 in account..
2 WC's available.
Time for a WC?- Liverpool's Young Guns
Liverpool's "young" side. If Rodgers gets fired, whoever inherits the team is lucky, especially if it's Klopp. Hope Rodgers stays though.
Sturridge
Coutinho Sterling Markovic
Rossiter Henderson
Moreno Sakho Lovren Flanagan
Ward
Bench: Ibe, Allen, Balotelli, Manquillo, Ilori, Origi, Luis Alberto
Reserves: Borini, Coates, Suso, Aspas
I'm sure those listen in the reserves will be gone along with Alberto/Balotelli.
Other than the front 4 they have limited potential
henderson limted potential? please. in my eyes he should be england's next captain and an he's an absolute workhorse.
Moreno can't be dismissed so easily either.I'm not saying they are bad but they will never be champions league class
Every team needs workhorses, and hes improving. Clearly he has potential to be champions league class. Very comparable to Milner, imo.
The Milner who is a Man City squad player.
Hes still champions league class.
COuldn't agree more about Sakho Lovren Flanno and rossiter. But henderson is the one I take issue with. he will very quickly be world class. give him some more time
Not so sure about the captaincy claim though
after rooney I can't see who else takes the armband to be honest? Tom cleverly? haha
It doesn't say much for the state of english football thoughCleverley isnt even in the squad. I havent thought too much about who it`d be, i just dont think Hendo is the man for the job, as i dont think hes the man for the LFC captaincy either.
Get your red goggles off, Henderson is terrible
You will see the best of Henderson when Emre is next to him in midfield. Players like Henderson, Carrick, McCarthy, Noble etc are brilliant.
He's a workhorse I'll give him that but he's nowhere near top quality. It just shows how poor England's midfielders are that he's one of our best...
Hes not.
Henderson will never be world class IMO but he's not terrible.
Bit harsh on Ibe, Origi, Manquillo, Rositer and a few others considering their age
I have no issue with our team on paper. we have lacked a quality striker and lovren is a potato. that's our 2 biggest issues and both can be pointed at poor poor transfer business.
You also forgot lallana.Frank De Boer would be perfect. BR should stay if we get cl
Our team is about 4 players away from being sorted
XXX
Manquillo XXX Sakho Moreno
Henderson Emre XXX
Sterling Studge Couts
Migs, Skrtel, Allen, Lucas, Lallana, Marko, XXX, Ballotelli.Brenda should stay either way. Manquillo is not good enough to be a regular starter for us at this point.
Flanagan and GJ aren't better than Manquillo.
I`d rather have Flanno than Manquillo. Better defensively and more reliable. Manquillos just all over the place and hes not good offensively. Johnno just a disaster.
Mignolet doesn't deserve to wear that hideous purple kit at all. What was he doing with that AJ shot?
To be fair, a lot of wind affected the shot.
Migs should be #2 keeper. He is a good shot stopper, that's allbring him on for pens and that's it. otherwise, keep him where he belongs. Much rather see brad jones (Aussies bias) defending corners than migs
I reckon Balo will be sold in the summer, although would like to see him and studge up top.
I'd take: Trapp(GK), Schar(RCB), Kondogbia(DM), Milner and Lacazette/Vietto if Mario is sold
Not being funny but that team is not overly impressive , considering the talent you need these days at the top of the prem
I agree. I think it was over exaggerated with too many youngsters
I don't think it's that impressive but it has the potential to be great!
Lovren Flanagan Ward will be at New clubs in 18 months
Rossiter won't make lfc first team for a good 3/4 yearsWill be hard to get higher than you are though without getting some world class star quality
When your rivals are buying the likes Aguero, di Maria , Sanchez etc
As arsenal fan we had that for years ,trying to build a team .10 years ago maybe it worked now days the city's & uniteds just get the cheque book out
We started to do same now with Ozil , Sanchez
I dont think Rossiter should be named as "the one" for the future. Too many have been in his spot before and never been able to make it. The step from where he is to first team football is way too huge to say "hes going to make it". Also Suso left already, and a few more of that lot will too come summer. Still a great young squad, but youth was never going to be an issue under FSG/BR management.
Klopp is very unlikely tbh.
Also I heard Suso is leaving for Italy?Off to Milan, for free.
Reeks of Brendan, that.That's bad. Reeks of Pogba maybe.
Lol, no. Hes more than likely the new Pacheco. Hasnt done all that much the times hes been given a chance, and although he did alright for Almeria, if he really was that hot no way Milan woulda gotten him.
He is, signed for Milan apparently. I dont think Klopp is very likely either, but if we were to be in the market for a new manager he would be very attractive.
You need champions and leaders in the team to win something.
Y are ppl so concerned abt getting a playing 5th mid when u can play ur 4th def as 1st sub?
Can und abt boyd and maybe wanyama...but the rest are poor options tt give u a solid 2pt which u can get some ur 4th def
Totally agree. Ran this the other day on my computer and the defenders were all in and around Boyds scores.
Y do u hav 2 rite in shortnd form lke u r doing ? 🙂
ms tr e
Grown up in a short form society haha
Hi DZ
Hit WC last week and put Debuchy in. Livid.
What will be Arsenal's back 4 now? Want to invest.
Thanks
Bellerin/Chambers Kosc Mert Monreal
Think Bellerin and Chambers will rotate, likewise Gibbs/Monreal, although Gibbs was injured todayThanks Demi, so basically Mert or Kos or risk rotation
same here except I already used my FT getting aguero and also have Alderweid (hamstring injury)
I feel the pain
Injuries happen. Either Chambers or Bellerin will deputize while he's out. Gibbs first choice LB but he's always a dead person. You know the CBs.
Thanks Walshy. Also thank you for recommending i keep downing over siggy. Paid off nicely this weekend.
😀
Play:
A) Chadli (SUN)
B) Ings (CRY)Ings
Ings
Gonna captain PVA because Kane is the template captain this week therefore he will blank
Don't think there will be a template captain this week
kane and haz will be far and away the top choices in the top 10k I assume
Aguero will be top I think. I'm going Costa
good call. but then eriksen will score 4 goals and you'll get 0
Been playing with WC team for 3 hrs now!!
Foster(guzan)
Ivan,trippier,Bertrand, (baird, PvA)
Sanchez, silva, ADM,Haz(boyd)
Aguero, kane,gayle
0.5 itb. Will I hit the button??????Who would you rather own out of Ings, Pelle, Carroll and Berahino for just this week?
Ings.
ings
Carroll
carroll is a fun differential
Berahino. Red hot. Next, Ings.
Pelle cause there's always the off chance you may keep him.
Hmm cheers. I had gone with Pelle.
Carroll.
First year playing, WC tactical question, please:
So, if I WC yesterday, and Hamer is projected to rise in price tonight, should I transfer him in to get the price gain, and then I could move him out for another keeper before the freeze (if I choose to do so). I currently drafted Panty and already have Heaton (from a while back). Thanks!Correct.
Though very unlikely he rises twice, mind, so will probably not even matter.
Ah, right. The transfer fee. I did it, but now see pants is 4.6, and I may have gotten him for 4.5, so I think I actually may lose .1 on this if I go back to pants!
Thank you, Walsh.
the double rises aren't as common this year, and since transfers that happen due to a WC don't seem to be affecting the price, I agree that it is unlikely to happen in this window. He may come into a lot of squads as a bargain keeper, but a ton of those transfers are going to be WC and won't affect price.
I think I made a boo boo.
Hey chaps. My Debuchy punt would have worked out well but there you go. Who shall I get in for him? Current other defenders are:
Terry - Bertrand - Wisdom - PVA
I was thinking Jones.Gardos? Rojo would be my pick of the United defenders i think, should be back next game
Didn't think of Gardos, cheers.
Lescott
Don't want to double up just yet.
Can't see why not, but good luck with your decision Horse!
whats this about wildcard transfers not counting for risers/falls?
how does that work? some people do their transfers and activate wildcard just before the gameweek starts
that's why I advise making transfers and then pressing wc just before the start of the gw
This.
I was wondering how FPL differentiates
why is that advice worth following?
more confused than before..
You can make the transfers and just not push wildcard so it would theoretically count as hits but the transfers would still count towards price rises. Get in whoever you want and don't hit the wildcard button until Friday night so that you are giving your guys an additional +1 in the grand scheme of transfers in. If you WC straight away your transfer isn't counting towards their overall potential to increase in price.
Even counting for dead teams, there are still a million or so people playing the game, I'd guess. Your +1 won't make a difference, I'd think
By that argument you might as well never vote in an election too.
Many will argue that as well.
I've never voted before 😀
I don't BTW, though, but I also know that part of my voting and preparing for an election is general "good citizenship" and it is setting a model for my kids that I hope they will carry on. I can't make same argument about FPL
i see
may be good advice, but since 99% of people who play their wildcards will do it the conventional way, (being that they are not wise to ways of the Bemba-Da) it is unlikely to be enough people who are doing that "press WC just before GW" thing for it to make a difference.
would this mean it looks like you've taken a 20-30 point hit to your rivals..? 😀 till you sneakily activate the WC sat morning
If they are foolish enough to think you would do that, then yes.... 🙂
Or unless you forget to execute the WC button and you actually _do_ take a 20-30 point hit...
Surely all these people buying Boyd, Hamer etc are on the WC yet they will still rise.
First half of the season went well when I broke all the usual FPL rules - taking hits, early transfers, having no bench......I changed tact over Christmas and had a shocker. I've reverted and gone this route so that the only decision I have to make most weeks is (duff/Wisdom) and who to give the armband to, I'll deal with injuries as they arise........low maintenance FPL is the way forward for me 🙂
Wildcard played......
Forster (Pantilimon)
Clyne/Terry/Duff (Wisdom/Baird)
Silva/Sánchez/Hazard/Downing (Marney)
Kane/Costa/Agüero
Who is better for next TWO GWS ??
A- Clichy get Assissts
B- Skrtel get CS or GoalB
B - dont go near that rotation risk imo
WC Team. Overkill in Mid? as crap defence. Who do I take out?
Forster (Hamer)
Terry, Wisdom. PVA (Bruce,Hutton)
ADM, Silva, Hazard, Sanchez, (Boyd)
Aguero, Kane, Austin
To afford from 7 I have to sacrifice defence so WC to this or upgrade defenceTerry out and spread it around. Simple.
Thanks. Il give a go
i love JT in my team and personally couldn't take him out. but bruce is a liability
I've loved having him as well but I'd rather sacrifice a defender and spread it around than one of the heavy hitters he has in there or something like Austin out.
Downgrade Silva you don't need him with Aguero back.
I am of a similar opinion
Just folded and got aguero in..... and di maria 🙁
WCed last week, made an aguero transfer yesterday, wake up today with debuchy and Alderweid injured
also have pietersen, is his injury serious?
*pieters
With Toby Alderweireld seemingly out for at least a few weeks, which would be your preferred option?
A) Bertrand + Puncheon (short term differential in view of fixtures and Pardew effect (lol))
B) Gardos/Chambers + Tadic
Leaning towards A, though B will give me an easier time when switching to an in form 4th mid
Yay or nay with two free transfers.
Austin > Aguero
Downing > Albrighton
Zab > Bertrand
Thank you.Would just do Zab to Bertrand for the time being.
@Psychobingo How you holdin up pal?
Ey. Er, im doing "fine". Got back to my own flat and trying to keep myself occupied, but you know. things still arent great, but im trying. I dont know what else to do. Thanks for asking though.
Skrtl + Chadli
or
Hutton + Tadic/Erikssen/Sterling
Any suggestion?A easily. much more goal threat overall and tadic, eriksen and sterling are all too erratic
A
Costa Downing
or
Austin Fabregas
Such a hard decision as costa scores a goal almost every game but austin is 5m cheaper
9 years, 3 months agoany word on how long azpi is out?
