In our first members article of the week, we assess the displays of West Ham, Leicester and Villa’s forwards as the search for a Callum Wilson replacement intensifies. We cast an eye over Southampton, Spurs, West Ham and Arsenal’s midfields and also analyse the impact of Brendan Rodgers’ decision to switch to a 3-4-1-2 formation in the last two Gameweeks.
b
For this week or the whole season? I'd actually go Murray for this week, Ayoze if season-long
Up to gwk 17/18. Likely B then.
B
Perez, imo

who wants plan B ? loool
Planning to WC
from:
Butland (Ruddy)
Azpi Kolarov Nyom (Huth, Cedric)
Silva, Ayew, Ozil, Mahrez (Wanyama)
Martial Aguero Sakho
-------->
Myhill (Hennessey)
Azpi Kolarov Pieters (Francis, Martin)
KDB Payet Sanchez Mahrez (Morrison)
Aguero Sakho Ighalo
Thoughts/Changes?
Vardy over Sakho imo.
Sunderland & Crystal Palace ;o
Ighalo -> Vardy and downgrade Azpi? otherwise very similar to mine! (down below) 🙂
Will keep Azpi. Ighalo will probably go with Arsenal in the second week.
100% not
Nyom, Huth, Cedric, Ozil are replacements that I need to make.
Why not WC?wait till GW11 ... youe team is not that bad
Personally I wouldn't do it.
You're swapping two starting keepers to two that are rotation risks/non starters.Then keep the Keepers?
Yes, definitely
After that, do you still not recommend the WC?
I'd still say no.
I would get rid of Ozil and Ayew though. Definitely get Payet in and Sanchez if you have money to spareIf you don't have the money for Sanchez have a look at Mata/Mane
Spurs defender instead of Pieters?
Aldy?
Yup either him or Davies imo
Hold WC imo.
Any thoughts on my team
DDG (Myhill)
Kolarov Bellerin Darmian (Sagna, Evans)
Mahrez Payet Alexis Barkley (Drinkwater)
Aguero Vardy Pelle
Total Value: 102.7m (& rising)
Thinking of taking out Barkley & putting in Tadic
morning
had to get in a wilson replacement last night, already had vardy
was between sakho and pelle, went for sakho
fingers crossedShould've gone Pelle! 😉
Pulled the trigger on my WC, got low team value so this is my current draft with £0.5ITB
Myhill - Krul
Dawson - Bertrand - Nyom - BDavies - Francis
De Bruyne - Mahrez - Sanchez - Payet - Morrison
Aguero - Sakho - Vardy
How do you rate it? Only thing I'd want is Hazard/Kolarov but overall pretty happy. Any suggestions welcome, thank you 🙂Looks good. Very similar to mine. You can fit Kolarov in by upgrading Bertrand and maybe losing Francis or Krul.
This. Others looks great.
Krul + Bertrand --> Hennessey + Kolarov done
Don't WC. Soi many uncertainties , Not the week to WC IMO
Too late for that! Haha
Kolarov/Janmaat/pelle
Same front three as me 🙂 Although i'm not really a fan of the defense, mainly Bertrand and Davies
Upgraded Bertrand to Kolarov and Davies at 4.5 I couldnt resist! Who would you go for for 4.8 or less?
great team, ive got about 10 of the same.. nice front 7 but like me youre doubled up leicester and west ham-- fingers crossed
🙂 Theyve both been playing some very attacking football so hopefully goals to share!
I'd put Sturridge in over Aguero.
Any suggestions for this WC? 0m ITB,
Myhill (Hennessey)
Kolarov Janmaat Dawson (Nyom Hutton)
Sanchez KDB Payet Mahrez (Drinkwater)
Aguero Pelle Vardyyea dont play janmaat this week
I won't obviously.
very solid imo
Nyom/Hutton→Moreno/souare/BaviesCheers. Is Davies nailed?
I'm not a fan of Hutton but I guess there's no other good 4.3 def
O'Shea 😉
I like it a lot, Jasong 🙂 Great frontline, & a solid midfield (big fan of the KdB pick). Now that backline is a real concern for me, & I echo what everyone else said here as I'm not a fan of Hutton at all. Wouldn't be too comfortable relying on one of Janmaat/Nyom/Hutton each GW, imo.
Looks like funds are pretty tight though, and to keep that team flexible, I'd downgrade Drinkwäter to Wanyama & use that extra $0.2m to upgrade Hutton to Bavies.Woops, Wanyama's at 4.4 😯
Would downgrade Janmaat to Bavies then, Drinkwater to Wanyama, & upgrade Hutton to a 4.8.
For me it's clear.

Ivanovic on the bench Azpi and Baba in. He won 0 of 7 tackles and was blame for the goal. Bench materialjose said baba is not suited to english football.. no clue why he bought him 🙁
If you ask me he was at fault for the first goal two. Just let his man drift past him. Low on confidence definitely.
I think I would give Zouma a go at fullback.
Terry cahill zouma azpi defense would be solid imo
Choose 3 to play:
A. Kolarov(NEW)
B. Dawson(cpl)
C. Evans(cpl)
D. Azpi(SOU)
E. Gomez(eve)
Leaning towards ABC atm. Thanks!ABD, Palace away hardly a good fixture, spread the risk IMO
This
Thanks, Nick!
abd
Thanks mate!
ABC, imo.
Thanks, Zasa!
I would go ACD
Damn it Shaqiri felt in price and I slept over and not replaced him. This year price drops are brutal. I had 5 this week I think. Early transfers from now on
They have made a complete mess of price drops this season imo.
Someone said he was at +12% on fplstats. Bonkers drop
Yeah -12% and dropped. Nonsense. Shouldn't the yellow slow it up? Man can't catch a break. Not rewarding the patience managers 🙁 this year
Will Wilson drop 3 times? What do we think?
I was hoping to only lose 0.1 but I can't see it now tbh 🙁
I won't be able to afford my next target if he drops once more. Here is hoping, but he felt really fast twice
Would you play Cedric or Huth this week?
Huth
Thanks 🙂
both won't keep CS ... probably Huth
Huth, imo.
Cheers all. Playing Huth means tripling up on Leicester. I'm a massive fan this week 😆
Best 4.4m (or less) midfielder?
Wanyama or Fletcher?
Wanyama, imo.
Wait on Wantama he's dropping tonight/tomorrow night
Pedro -> Walcott (-4) ?
....maybe 😉
Or -> Silva (-4)
0.1m short of KDBthis if fit...if not keep him
are you keeping mané Jin. ??
Unsure - short term fixtures are iffy but I still think he's a great option. Slightly concerned he gets rested for LEI also given he plays in Africa 2 days before that game.
Depends if I plan to WC in GW11 or not. If yes then I may get rid for the next 3 weeks. You?he plays 4 days before Leicester btw ...
I'm WCing GW11 so him or Coutinho→cabaye/Payet would be my move
I don't think that's worth the hit
I am considering Wally too but the fixtures worries me
No for me. Maybe to Silva if he's fit.
play
a) Williams ( Tot H )
or
b) Evans ( Cry A )
leaning~a tbh ..B for me here, HyLiv.
B imo
Submitted a community article!
Nice one, Le Moin! Looking forward to it 🙂
Nothing great, just an introduction to Indian Super League Fantasy Game...
Cool man, just in time for the break. You should be getting a fair amount of followers then 🙂
Good work mate! What's the topic?
Very General, Introduction to Indian Super League 😆
Would love to play it,Moin ! Good Initiative
Create a league man..and join me!
though ISL's fantasy will be way more tough than FPL 😉I have created a league, details will be out in the article!
@Dougal Mcguire
WC right? Are you playing a 4atb formation? If not, then I'd HIGHLY urge you to downgrade your defenders big time, IMO.
Now if you are playing 4atb each week, I'd look elsewhere for defenders then Azpi, Kosc & Srktel, tbh. A lack of any sign of defensive solidity from Chelsea with the underlying stats to support that. I think Kosc picked up a knock and in any case I'd much rather go with Bellerin/Monreal who have been two of the most threatening full-backs thus far & are paying forward with one the best attack in the league right now. Not to mention their knack for BPS each game (more so for Ballerina).
Would also consider a City milf in there.
In a 4atb set-up, Spurs simply can't be ignored, it's a new season and old declarations of past form are largely irrelevant. Spurs currently boast of the best defenses so far & have a kind schedule to suggest their motor will keep on pushing even the best attacks (their underlying defensive stats truly are superb). I'd ignore Palace & West Ham, decent fixtures but both teams have extremely shoddy & unreliable defenses. I can't see this run magically transforming their unavoidable woes in the back.
My go-to defenses on a 4atb WC side would be: for the next 6 matches
For the short term: West Brom (cry, SUN, nor, LEI) Gw12 onward is tricky, imo.
Long-term:
ManCity: (NEW, BOU, mun, NOR, avl, LIV) - Kolarov
Swansea: (TOT, STK, avl, ARS, nor, BOU)
Arsenal: (MUN, wat, EVE, swa, TOT, wba)
Southampton: (che, LEI, liv, BOU, sun, STK)
Spurs: (swa, LIV, bou, AVL, ars, WHM) kinder fixtures after Gw9
and would try to consider specifically Janmaat (no other Newcastle defender) as a rotatable 5th defender as they have great attacking fixtures (mci, NOR, sun, STK, bou, LEI)
Although they have great defensive fixtures on paper, I'd be wary of Chelsea defense for time being.janmaat is great shout
cheers zasaNice! Agree with your points
Thanks guys 🙂 Just hope he actually reads this though!
Alright, you've convinced me FFS, won't WC 🙂
Butland (Ruddy)
Azpi Kolarov Nyom (Huth, Cedric)
Silva, Ayew, Ozil, Mahrez (Wanyama)
Martial Aguero Sakho
1. Ozil -> Payet
2. Ayew -> Payet
3. Silva -> DeBruyne
4. Two of the 3 for a -2.Can you afford Ozil -> Walcott? I'd do that if so.
Aye I can. Will do it if no one else gives me something else to ponder on.
1
1 for me
Save, imo. Or would consider Jins' idea 😉
Only #3 if Silva's confirmed out.
If you can do 2 & 3 for a hit of just -2, then crack on!! 😆
anyone with Kun, not capping him?
if something happens to Silva I'm tempted to cap KDBMe. I'm either on Payet on Vardy. Still debating
o/ KdB here
Don't have Silva and KDB so Kun(C). Tempted on Payet or Mahrez though.
on kdb atm but that last minute before deadline has made me captain kun everytime...sigh
Any reason why I shouldn't sell Pedro for a hit? Has been very poor, quite frustrating to watch
There's a good case for keeping, largely in part due to the fixtures. It has a high possibility of being a punishable hit tbh. Yet.... 😉
Good fixtures coming up.
A) pedro / gomis / wilson -> sako / sturridge / vardy -4
B) gomis / wilson -> sakho / vardy
C) wilson -> ighalo

Which of these for longer term?
A. Moreno and Alderweireld/Gabriel
B. Alderweireld and Gabriel
C. Davies and Bellerin
D. Evans and Gabriel
Thanks!A
C, imo.
C for me too
Thanks! If Gabriel nailed on, would you still pick C?
Nope 🙂
Thanks! I believe he will be nailed on, so considering B or D of these...would like to own Bellerin though, but that would pairing him with a 4.5 defender e.g. Nyom instead of Alderweireld/Evans...
*mean...
My bad, yes, I would still pick C 🙂
No.
If Gabriel was nailed then I would get him and Ben Davies and use the rest of the cash elsewhere.Davies nailed on longer term...? Not like another Gomez type case?
None.
C
Anyone going Wally for real...?
Yeah.
Sometimes you gotta take that leap of faith 😉
http://i.imgur.com/W5L8gTd.webmYikes 😯
😮
I was expecting a scary face after the fog. But that was cool.
I bought him last week
I am considering him in for Shaqiri. I was planning Sako but he could be on the bench, than Morrison but he is so unexciting transfer in. I am all set on Wally now, but GIroud playing the Utd game and trolling all of us? 3 games in a week for Wally? Really?
United is a massive game, surely Wenger will play his strongest side?
Yes, next week.
Has there ever been a worse fantasy game than the UCL fantasy this season? It is just ridiculously bad!
I quited 2 seasons ago. This is my 2nd season not playing it. It was too much nervous because they are AMATEURS !!! Just give it up, not worth the trouble
I can't even sub players of my choice.
Same crap every year
The McDonald one was quite bad too.
I wanted to joint again this year after not playing last season the first matchday started at 4:45 AM Australian time so i stayed up to midnight waiting for the game to go live and it still wasn't so i gave up
Morning DZ,
Just in case you missed all the action last night.

And if you are wondering why Hazard got dropped, it is because he were getting rested prior to his massive haul this week. 😎Biggest mistake ever was getting in skrtel over dawson 2 gws ago. Got swayed by liv fixtures and it has cost me 12 points and counting
Ouch..
Morning everyone.Who would you bench?
Clyne Eve
Francis WAT
Nyom bou
CheersClyne
Ta
Wat Bou feels like a 0-0 match...Clyne with Everton's form as well
Cheers I'll drop Clyne
Clyne
8 years, 7 months agoBest chance of success from who?....
A) Borini
B) Ayoze Perez
C) Murray
From these 3 for a draft league game.
