After delving into the Gameweek 5-8 data for Defenders yesterday afternoon, we now set our sights on the midfielders. Arsenal’s in-form duo arrive under analysis, whilst we also cast an eye over City and West Ham’s summer signings and analyse the recent displays of Southampton’s wide men as the fixtures turn in their favour.
-
At least this makes the captaincy decision for next week a bit more interesting. Sanchez for me.
-
I never get it right when it's 'interesting'.
-
Kolarov if Kompany returns 🙂
-
KDB
-
Sanchez for most I would guess, walcott, hazard and the southampton boys are good bets also
-
(C)osta or (C)ane
-
Has there ever been a reset of the votes on the captaincy poll? Seems like this would be a good week to do it.
-
Theo
-
-
For someone who doesn't own Payet yet, is bringing him in ahead of Tadic/Mane this week a good move? I can get the other in subsequent weeks, so purely asking for this week. fwiw, I see both games having over 3 goals
-
Over 3 goals??/
-
Yeah Palace - West Ham and Southampton - Leicester
-
-
Get Mane
-
It was a pop quiz here the other day: "guess who has the most bonus points this season?"
Yup, everyone guessed Payet correctly-
There's a certain "Charlie Adam circa 2010-11"ness about him, isn't there?
-
-
Payet looks a season keeper so I'd find a way to get him but go mane short term
-
Cheers all. The crux of the matter is if Mahrez starts I think. With him, Mane could explode, without, I don't see him going too crazy
-
-
I never got on the Aguero bandwagon. Oh how you guys slaughtered me for that!
-
So you missed his 50 points then?
-
Yes, at the expense of *more* points form the strikers and midfielders scoring points consistently.
-
Same here, I got more from having consistent strikers than having 2pts Aguero.
-
Not sure if that can compensate for 50 points from Aguero...
-
Don't mean to brag, but I brought in Aguero just before his megahaul 🙂
-
-
-
-
-
Don't we feel stupid! Those points sting like crazy
-
Aguero "bandwagon"
-
You still have Kompany?
-
Yes, but he's getting subbed out this week - there are no mantras I live by!
-
-
Surely the words "aguero" and "bandwagon" don't go together!
-
I imagine you missed the Messi bandwagon too.
-
-
The bright side
Aguero tweets updates on his injuries
Pellegrini is very forthcoming in pressers-
Is it time to bring Facer out of retirement for another article?
-
-
Is Dan Edwards Facer?
-
Might be. All I know is that Facer isn't Ben Dinnery.
-
We'll be hanging on the Dinnery's every word now.
-
-
-
-
-
And it's only half way through international week so plenty of time for scan/ proper diagnosis
-
-
Looking forward to Sturridge doing a Jonny Evans and trolling everyone who gets him for aguero. Steering well clear. Non existent 2nd half vs Everton and clearly not fit yet
-
I sure hope so!
-
-
Now that Aguero looks to be out for some weeks, should I keep sterling and give another chance or sell him?
-
Wait for aguero news. Like all of us
-
keep
-
Same dilemma .. I'm keeping
-
Yes I am, Sterling could play up top with Bony.
-
At least we have a shortlist for possible replacements. Ie noone in their right mind would consider Rooney
-
-
Will Aguero's injury have any effect on Sterling's gametime and positioning ?
-
Bony has played in the games aguero has missed
-
I imagine Sterling's starting spot is at risk after last week.
-
-
Brace yourself. Klopp incoming
-
So excited FPL wise
Displeased completely as Everton fan-
😆
-
same
-
-
Spurs to win 3-1.
-
-
The first decision point will come when Pelle is due to rise (likely to be soon now that Aguero is flagged)
-
Yep. Let's hope it's after the weekend some time, Tuesday at best.
-
-
Begovic (DDG)
Kompany, Kolarov, Cresswell (Evans, Targett)
Payet, Mahrez, Ayew, Eriksen (Redmond)
Aguero, Martial, Ighalo
2.5 ITB
Redmond > Sanchez, Kun > Pelle for a 12 point hit?-
How is that 12 points?
-
He's already on -4?
-
In which case this new set is only -8
-
Well, yeah.
-
-
-
Already on -4
-
It's only -8 then - sunk costs.
-
Total for GW is -12, that's what matters
-
No it isn't.
-
Yes it is? The old -4 doesn't get erased just because I do more hits later on.
-
-
I agree with Numb.
The -4 has already gone and nothing can be done about it.
The decision now is whether the other two transfers are worth a further -8.
-
-
-
-
I suspect that 4 have already gone.
-
-
Bonkers
-
Redmond is playing Newcastle! Just start him and bench Kun this week
-
-
Costa will be motivated after the ban, home to villa. Th aguero>costa swap is mighty temting
-
It will be especially so for those that don't want 5M+ in the bank.
-
But Chelsea are depressed
-
-
Could definitely see Mahrez getting benched again this week if Ranieri is looking to tighten things up away from home.
-
Ouch... hope not , then down to 3 playing mids... Will keep though,, but getting rid of Sako
-
And I can see Mahrez asking for a move in January if he's only starting every other game!
-
Because he was a nailed on starter last season....
-
-
I'm still shocked he's getting benched while he's playing so well, maybe he's trying to take him out the shop window? seems very strange
-
-
How do you think KDB will do in Aguero's absence?
-
Around the same. Those weeks at the start when Kun was off form, City were good. The key players are more Silva and Kompany
-
-
If Kun is out long term surely Bony is a great shout?
-
A friend has messaged saying Kun was in tears when he was stretchered off, anyone confirm?
-
-
he did the same last season missing a month ?
-
Thanks for the link. Doesn't look good at all.

-
Jurgen Klopp press conference at 10am on Sky Sports News.
-
Sam Allardyce has reportedly accepted the Sunderland manager role
-
Oh dear
-
great...bye bye Sunderland.
-
he will keep them up, but they will be so boring
-
-
Sore necks for the Sunderland fans
-
great appointment
-
Coates could become a valid budget option again then
-
-
Anyone think Sterling could be deployed up top? Or will they just blindly keep the faith the Bony?
-
I think it may suit City's style more than Bony would
-
lol. Pelle is not Rodgers. Definitely Bony up top if fit
-
not definitely.
-
-
It could happen
-
-
Chances of yaya being fit for next game ,really need him fit next week
-
Waiting on news too. Nothing yet. Plenty recovery time
-
-
Klopp parody interview is a good chuckle if you want a laugh this morning
-

Cant wait to read about Klopp on Moving Target here
-
"It is the biggest honour I can imagine," says a beaming Jurgen Klopp.
-
It is a special club
-
Utd suck
-
😆
He will say exactly the same when he signs for Chelsea or Real Madrid later. -
A bit lacking for imagination then
Germany manager winning world cup
Barcelona manager
Madrid manager
Bayern Munich manager
Making Cobham FC into a premier League quality club
Lots of options -
Poor Buy...he has already become Deluded
-

-
It looks like Mr Klopp will be having the final say on transfers at Anfield…
“It’s enough for me to have the first word and the last word. We can discuss everything in between,” he said. -
Sigh. Another 10 days of looking at "How long is Aguero out for" question here 😀
-
I have payet, KDB and sanchez in my team, who should i make captain and why?
