With the final double Gameweek of the season almost upon us, we turn our attentions to the Opta statistics to assess the recent form of Arsenal and Sunderland.
Using the team profile data, we take a look at both sides displays from Gameweek 30-36 – a period of time that saw them play six times apiece and one that coincides with Dick Advocaat’s arrival at the Stadium of Light.
Err, hasn't Hazard started every PL game this season? Isn't he going to play every game like Terry and Ivanovic?
Probably not. And Ivan may not either.
Rival has Ivan and I wanna sell Hazard for Sanchez/Ramsey so I really hope you're right about them two.
But I think they'll both start.
Tough to call isn't it. With the game not having any real importance it seems a perfect opportunity to rest him.
Rest him for what though. A night out when the season is over. I don't get these rest theories. Give him a day off. But not a rest.
Everything mourinho has stated hints that hazard is in line for a rest. This does not mean it will happen but the fact he has played every game also does not mean he will play this one. So he is a doubt.
He certainly has
Not played every minute but started every game
Worth the risk in starting Cesc?
Or bench him and start Siggy vs CTY?
Siggy -> Sunderland mid, bench Cesc for GW38.
Play sterling (CPL) or vardy (sun) this week?
Tough, but I'd play Sterling. Can't see Liverpool not scoring in their last home game of the season.
Thanks
Easily Vardy. Sterling and Liverpool's form is terrible, Vardy's form is good and Leicesters form is great. Both have favourable fixtures.
Sterling.
Sterling easily
Thanks all
Bench one
A) Huth (sun)
B) Skrtel (CPL)
A by far.
+1
A
A
Any of you care to share your reasons? Aren't palace more likely to score than Sunderland?
Mind you I've had Skrtel on all week.
I prefer to play the home defender as statistically the home team concedes less. I'm also factoring in Liverpool's last home game of the season and Sunderland needing a result.
That along with the fact that I'm playing Schmeichel in goal is enough to sway me I think
Which of these looks best? I already own Sanchez & Özil
A. Hazard -> Ramsey
B. Hazard -> Cazorla
C Skrtel -> Koscielny
D. Kane & Hazard -> Gomez & Giroud -4.
B
I like C
I'd do C, Viper, as you're likely to captain Sanchez anyway. Hazard is a potential captain in GW38.
How does captaining Sanchez effect the move? As I wouldn't be captaining Hazard?
I'm assuming you're bringing in an Arsenal player that you're not going to captain as you already have Sanchez? If I was selling Hazard (who you may wish to captain in GW38), then it would only be for someone like Sanchez who would be my first choice captain for this DGW.
Seems a waste losing Hazard for anyone other than Sanchez. If you're thinking of captaining Ramsey, Cazorla or Giroud then go for it.
Ah ok. Yeah I'll be captaining Sanchez. No need to take risks here.
I've no problem bringing in Koscielny but for some reason I'm a little uncomfortable losing Skrtel!
Thanks!
yup, can understand that - I'm playing Mignolet this week.
Good luck with whatever you go with!
Cheers. GL!
A
I would do c
A, if you can reverse it for 38
I can indeed reverse it! Is it not a bit all eggs in one basket though?
I don't like any of them to be honest
Can I go E , one of your cheapy defenders to Bellerin
That would mean Benching one of Terry, Skrtel,,PVA or Hazard though.
Hmm tough , I'd (as above) bench hazard ....but highly risky
Bale to Chelsea. 😉
Can see that happening. They'd be frighteningly good if that happened.
Bale behind Costa with Willian and Hazard each side, daaayummmmm
That would be absolutely delicious. Would be interesting from a FPL perspective too.
In my team straight away
Bale, Hazard and Costa. Now that would take up a fair chunk of the funds along with all the other hitters like Sanchez, Aguero, Silva etc.
Wouldn't need Costa imo
Yeah i would probably drop him too in that case.
Pick one to partner Aguero and Giroud:
A. Benteke
B. Kane
C. Sunderland player (if so, which one?)
C, (same question back at you!)
I'm leaning towards B.
B
Sunderland forwards have been woeful.
I'd go with Benteke.
benteke been in good form
kane 1 goal in six,,.but got last home game v hull
sun forwards a gamble,not many goals,then its who?
Not all Hazard sellers are selling because we think he won't play.. Personally, I just think he may not do much this week and will get him back for gw38 if required
What's the rest of your team, WR? Are you happy with it for GW38?
Yep, very
Panti (Migs)
Terry Skrtel PVA (Schlupp McShane)
Gerrard Sanchez Rambo, Silva (Cork)
Aguero Giroud Vardy
No hits, £2.1m in bank 🙂
very nice, yep, no other concerns there except Migs outscoring Panti this week :p
Yeah, crossed my mind, but no clean sheets but a save point in each game should give him 5 or 6 I think 🙂
That's hard to afford though
Getting Hazard back you mean? True but I don't expect any more big hauls now
I'm selling because I need Sanchez.
My thinking too; that and my ML rival sold him last week so makes it a little easier. Pretty sure he'll come back in for 38 regardless
i think hell play ches last match for sure....now whether they do a utd v wba like a couple of seasons ago is another thing
I've actually strengthened by squad a bit through fear he doesn't play.
I kinda hope he doesn't.
I would take a Hazard 1 pointer this week if it means he scores his customary 11 or above vs Sunderland in the last GW.
Yup, definite captain option for the final GW.
Yep. His points this week will be covered by the DGW players anyway
Would hate to go into that game without him
Berty or Skrtel -- Kos?
Bert
Berty for me due to GW38.
I'm looking at Berty to Kos myself if I ignore Giroud
Berty
Really struggling with this week.
I'm 24 points in front of my rival who has Giroud. We both has Sanchez and Ozil. We also both has Terry, PvA, Hazard, Kun and Kane. So seven players the same.
What would you do:
1. A -4 hit to bring in Giroud to cover him (giving us 8 players the same)
2. No hit - Bertrand > Kos
I don't think you should be worrying with a 24 point lead. He'd prefer to go Sanchez(c) but knows you will, so will do Giroud(c). For that reason, I'd take no hit and do Bertrand -> Koscielny. Sets you up nice for GW38 too.
Would mean I'd be playing Vardy instead of Giroud(-4).
I'll also be hiding behind the couch.
Keeping Vardy is also nice for GW38.
I have Pants, Bertrand*, Skrtel, Yun, Silva, Boyd, Vardy to his Krul, McShane, Rose, Toby, Henderson, McCarthy, Giroud
What's 2 nights behind the sofa? 😆
Two more than I'd like.
Seriously lot of money riding on this cash league... Its a stressful time lol
I'd go 2
Thanks le god
Tidy 130 quid profit over the two nights thanks to that offer on 365. Lovely stuff.
Get some pints into ya
Saturday, need to get the exams out of the way first.
This was meant to be a reply.
Good man, good luck with the exams!
Cheers. 🙂
I made £78.75 so am happy. Could've made more, could've made less 🙂
Nice one. My Ronaldo FGS @ 4.00 racked up most of the profit for me.
Very nice - did you have a couple of in-play bets then? I backed RM before kick off, then in-play went for the draw. Once it went 1-1, I hedged my bets so that I lost a little profit but meant I wouldn't lose if Juve found a winner.
I backed the draw in-play 30 secs before RM scored their goal .... would've been bloody nice to back the draw while the score was 1-0. 🙂
Just went with under 6.5 goals as my deadball tonight and put the rest on Ronaldo FGS as a punt, worked out well.
Last night, I played it a bit safer and went Barca or draw before the game and the rest on Bayern as soon as the game started.
Nice one. Didn't think of making sure the deadball bet won, regardless. Still new to this malarky 🙂
I managed to not make a profit
"Juve's midfield actually cost 50% the price of Lallana. Vidal = €12.5, Pirlo + Pogba = Free, Marchisio = homegrown."
On that note, goodnight
lol, depressing for Pool fans
It's interesting, the way they play with essentially 4 CMs.
Quite standard Italian fare. Many don't have time for wingers
Didn't Pogba cost some tribunal money
So 50% of any 25 million midfielder.
nice misleading headline bbc
"US stripped of London 2012 silver over Gay drugs ban"
i was trying to think what gay drugs they could be talking about
Poppers?
it was one of my first guesses lol
Or maybe the U.S. Authorities banned drugs in a very camp voice
Nice fact from Long Juan Silva
All winners of Olympic 100m gold medal since 1972 can trace a common part of their ancestory back to a small region in West Africa.
Chasing but not far behind. Need help please. Only 2 Gunners at the mo. Want to be set up for GW38
Mignolet (Myhill)
JT, PVA, Ivan, Toby, Sclupp (no idea who to pick)
Sanchez, Haz, Hendo, Rambo, Bolaisse
Aguero, Kane, Vardy
1 FT 0 itb
Going round in circles. Help please
Ivan >> PVA
Bolasie >> Ozil -4
Bench Vardy
Sorry bench Hazard
Already have PVA but maybe Ivan to okore for funds and Gw38
This way you could play 5 in Midfield GW38 and bench Kane or bring in Mata maybe for a punt for one of your Arsenal assets
Yes. Thanks. Good thoughts. I want to be set up for 38
Sorry just seen you have PVA Ivan to someone else Vlaar maybe if that fits
Thanks. Yeah perhaps. Will want to bench PVA and Toby in 38 so cheap Villa defender may work
This way you could play 5 in Midfield GW38 and bench Kane or bring in Mata maybe for a punt for one of your Arsenal assets
Ivan > Kosc
And that's another circle I'm going around. No hit there and have my 3rd gunner. Not sure of cleanies thiugh
Spent £195 million on their front three and knocked out by their own academy player.
Real Madrid for you.
Knocked out by themselves.
They've been in shite form.
He started off at Atleti so no surprise he was motivated to knock them out 😉
1 la liga and 1 ucl in the last 6 years only
What big club gives their academy players a fair chance any more. Only a few, with the odd player here and there.
What's worse is that they all hoover up the young talent from all over the world, attracting them with big money only to stunt their development.
The smart one wait at a smaler club until they've made their name, like Christian Eriksen. Shame most can't see past the money.
DC united vs Orlando in 55mins, anyone know where i can see the lineups?
Their twitter pages maybe, if they have ones.
They're in the MLS, not the past 😉
cheers guys
Skrtel>Kos + Mata>Ramsey
or
Skrtel>Bellerin + Hendo>Ramsey
Both -4
thoughts? Crazy not to get Giroud? He's gonna off the boil int terms of fpl scoring
why not keep skrtel this week?
g2g lads?
Panti - (schmei)
skrtel - bellerin - ivan - pva - (dawson)
Caz (c) - Hendo - Sanchez - hazard - (Boyd)
Aguero - Kane - (vardy)
1ft and 1.0 itb.
Do I play Vardy????? Or swap him for a sunderland striker?
Same here 🙁
Am I crazy for wanting to do:
Hazard & Skrtel -> Gerrard & Koscielny -4.
I'm currently 14k so would be nice to break into 4 digit territory. My mini leagues are all but wrapped up with 100+ leads.
I already have Panti, PVA, Sanchez & Ozil
I'd then reverse Gerrard -> Hazard in 38!
would save the hit
I'd like to own Gerrard this week. A goal is inevitable
Just do Haz -> Gerrard??
If u have Giroud & Aguero so who is best Striker to get with them for Next 2 GWS 37 & 38 ??
Benteke probably
Any ideas on this lot?
Mignolet - Myhill
Ivanovic - Bertrand - Moreno - Wolly - Duff
Sanchez - Hazard - Silva - Puncheon - Gomez
Aguero - Giroud - Vardy
1 FT and 0.3m in the bank.
Thinking of going all out and doing Hazard+Wolly+Vardy ➡ Ramsey+PVA+Defoe for -8? Crazy?
Ramsey and Defoe, not sure Pva is worth a hit esp considering his gw 38 fixture
Moreno and Wolly don't play anymore. Would have to play Duff. So was leaning towards a DGWer.
not crazy, all dgw players but you could be in trouble for gw38
Don't drop Vardy. Inform player in an inform team. + you already have Gomez. I'd just do Hazard and Pva. But dropping haz for a hit is a bit risky..
Any ideas?
Pants
Ivanovic Clyne Skrtel
Silva Hazard Sanchez Mane
Aguero Kane Vardy
Wasil Ibe Dawson
1FT 0.0m ITB
Thinking Silva + Clyne -> Kos + Ozil (-4). I could take out Hazard this week instead of Silva although i would have to take a hit to get him back next week.
Don't like the fact you're losing Silva for a hit. Some are taking a hit to bring him in!
I think I'd lose Hazard. Worry about him next week then.
Hazard -> (C)azorla =O
Thanks both, guess i'll take Hazard out then
Who scores more this week?
A. Skrtel & Cazorla
B. Koscielny & Hazard (Boyd)
A
A
Terrible what happened to Bale. Apparently hospitalized after being assaulted after the match.
Really? 🙁
Say what?????
:O
No way??
I felt sorry for him the whole through the game.
(I know he's on crazy money a week etc. but it's easy to tell that he's on the periphery there)
Not even a peep about it on twitter. I call BS
Source? I don't see anything in Google News yet...
Source? That's insane if true and will be àll over the news.
http://www.managingmadrid.com/2015/5/14/8603211/gareth-bale-was-not-assaulted
Some clown on twitter apparently. I have no idea why people do this, it's completely beyond me. Last year Kagawa was supposed to have been carried off with a serious injury during a Japan game - I was watching the match and he was running around as usual. I came on here and it was being reported as gospel. Nuts.
Nuts was for the twitter clowns, not CF 🙂
I have Sanchez and :O
3rd arsenal?
A) Hendo to Cazorla
Or
X) Clyne to Kosc
ML won comfortably. 62 points behind top 1k. Seriously thinking of going all out these last GWs, even though my chances are pretty slim.
Schmeichel
Moreno Duff Alderweireld
Ramsey (c) Sanchez Cazorla Gomez
Aguero Kane Vardy
Hazard Schlupp Terry
As you can see captaining Ramsey and benching Hazard and Terry respectively. Crazy? Don't really want to risk a finish outsite top 10k (currently at 5k).
I like it all except play Terry over Toby, love the 3 Arsenal mids and Gomez over Hazard
Thanks. It's actually more like Vardy over Hazard though.
With no SUN defence and most people doubling up a Vardy goal could give u that massive swing / green your looking for, combine that with Ramsey out scoring Sanchez your laughing
Cheers mate, that's what I'm going for. No point in playing it safe at 5k this time of the season. Good luck to you this DGW!
Is Hazard -> Gerrard too much of a fanboy kneejerk?
I've done it and I don't really like him
I already have Hendo and skrtel. Too much faith?
Do it
Lost 27 points due to glitch in internet service.
Back at it
Pantilmon
Bertrand Ivanovic Koscielny
Fabregas Gomez Hazard Sanchez(c)
Aguero Giroud(vc) Kane
Mignolet Albrighton Morgan Rose
GTG?
How did you manage that? Transfers or Aguero (c) etc?
Looks a bit weak especially if Fab & Hazard don't play full games as predicted.
Son came home from College; COD crashed internet; Aguero(c) and Pantilmon did not go through. Shock team Saturday morning.
As far as lineup: maybe should have Ozil and Benteke instead of Fab/Haz and Giroud.
Play
A. Schlupp sun A
Or
B. Dawson che H
Or
C. Berty
Leaning~b
8 years, 11 months agoHad Hazard for 2 years straight ...and am sure the run stretchs back further into the previous season
This week he's bench fodder
