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.
Studge will be the new Kun! Re think
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Costa? Wut?
Lol@me.
Did an early transfer Gomis->Pelle.
Now contemplating Aguero->Gomis for a -4.
fml. :tonguedownonthesideemoji:
Why the hell would you buy Gomis at this point?
Brilliant fixtures till around GW15?
Is that why you sold him in the first place?
No. Pelle first choice. Gomis 2nd choice. That's why.
No one else seems interesting also.
Bony, Costa or Lukaku?
Fair call.
Might go Lukaku but have been burned by him many times.If you do get Lukaku don't judge his value on the next two games. He has such an amazing run starting in GW11.
Problem with Lukaku is he can blank in good games and tear it up in tough ones.
Exactly this. If I do get him then he doesn't go out till Christmas. He's so unpredictable.
His last 4 fixtures were tough for attacking returns.
His next 5 are identical to Leicester's last 5, which implies goal potential.
Already taken a hit and have Aguero. WC?
Might as well
Wait and see. His value's going nowhere any time soon
Guys still got a wildcard to play and am a aguero owner should i press it?
See above.
Haven't taken a hit tho
Still same answer. Distribute the funds.
Ok thanks
Guys, surely Aguero's got a chance?? Aren't people getting a bit too panicky?
Nobody knows anything about the injury yet.
Doesn't look good, I'd estimate he will be out for 4 weeks, possibly more, possibly less. Highly highly doubt he will start at the weekend.
It doesn't look at all bad from this: https://twitter.com/beINSPORTSUSA/status/652300950816837632
Although it is Aguero...The stretcher is the worry for me.
The stretcher will be fine for next gw
He could easily just have grade 1'd it in which case it's no panic
His next game after Bournemouth is 16 days away, plenty of time!
dont see the point to buy gomis ..even if you don't own him and he scores u get to watch the celebration 😉
Hit the button. Any likely double risers?
Just bring in those who are going to rise first. Then hope for a double.
Absolutely no chance from now.
Can afford a 0.1 drop on Aguero so waiting for the official tweet. Thank God. Hoping he's fit for the CL game at least, would gladly suffer a drop on him for differential status in the derby.
You can afford a 1.0m drop too.
Not impossible either...The derby match is 16 days away yet.
Assuming Kun is out for a few weeks, whatcha reckon?
A) Kun -> Costa
B) Sinclair & Kun -> Walcott & Kane (-4)
C) Sinclair & Kun -> De Bruyne & Lukaku (-4)
Would likely bench one of the LEI lads this week away to SOT if going with B) or C)
Rudd, Rudd
Bellerin, Kolarov, Huth, Coates, Targett
Sanchez, Mane, Pedro, Mahrez, Sinclair
Aguero, Pelle, Vardy
Bank 0.6m, 1FT, both WCsC) with Bony. Seems the perfect player to have for the next few weeks if Aguero is out.
Yeah, that is tempting. But there is a slight concern he might not start even with Kun out. They could go with Sterling up top and KDB--Silva--Navas behind. Also, away at MUN I expect LVG to park the bus.
C looks best. You can do C with Martial too.
Some reports are saying 'Hamstring strain', which might too be too horrific FPL wise given that it's over a week til the next game anyway
*please be grade 1, please be grade 1*
Please include link to any reports.
Aguero + Sinclair > Pelle + KdB for -4?
That looks pretty solid to me. Who would you benching from your front 8?
Mahrez (sou)
Also gives me protection against another injury given I have Sanchez and Ayew.Similar position to me (see above). I expect Sanchez and Ayew will play, but nice to have a better back up than Sinclair (I also have him).
I think I'd go for it with KDB and Pelle - both on fire and with great fixtures this week. Mine's a little less obvious as I already have Pelle. Watcha think?Yup makes sense. My current 8.0m fwd is Martial so no brainer to get Pelle in. I have Hazard and Sanchez so did not have room for KdB, which was making me uneasy. What's your forward line-up?
Replied above. Martial and Lukaku in same boat as their fixtures get better from GW11.
Or just Aguero > Bony?
G'mornin,
So Kun looking like out for a few GW's 🙁 Will at least free some funds for Sako replacement - need a more secure starter. If doing Kun -> Pelle, who's the midfielder to get:
a) Sako -> Mata -4
b) Sako -> Mane -4
c) Sako -> Walcott -4
d) Sako -> Cabaye -4
Might also save FT if Mahrez is expected to start next GW.
Opinions much appreciated!
I'd say Theo.Him being a mid and playing as a fwd in real life boosts his fantasy potential.Can be a solid differential as well.Might consider cabaye too been in good form lately and scored a banger last night!
But always some doubt on Theo's game time - a known fpl troll. But if getting him for a purple patch, I could climb the rankings. Didn't know Cabaye scored last night, he's certainly good value. But maybe not the best fixtures for the next 4 GWs
Already taken -4. Aguero, Alexis and Hoolahan all doubts, this isn't good...
Its usually good to wait until end of international week
I had to or I couldn't of afforded Pelle.
Alexis played last night.
Alexis just scored for Chile on 89".
He should be fine.
Alexis and Hoolahan will be fine I imagine...
I guess we are boring, so we came up with plans to manage Aguero's potential injury.
Btw, the incident looked like the one he had in the game with Crystal Palace.Wait... Kun is WHAT?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04xOsNW7zTAAt least kuns injury makes it the easy to get sturridge in
With hammys pinging all over the place, you can bet Sturridge will be next.
Thats true. Might be. Pelle against leicester better choice
Pelle is the safe no-brainer , no doubt about that.
dont think I can really go wrong with berahino....Has Leceister sunderland and Norwich up next! Gomis---> berahino (-4)? Already at a loss with gomis due to his price drop.
Goddamn why did I transfer early.!!
Needed to?
Eagerly waiting the Aguero replacement Hot Topic!
Strongly considering Costa if Aguero is out for a few weeks. He could easily deliver at haul against Villa.
Pretty good Captain too for this GW..This is the problem now, losing Kun and getting someone like Lukaku your defult cap will now be on Samchez
"Sergio Aguero is believed to have torn his hamstring in Argentina's defeat over Ecuador, could be out for some time"
https://twitter.com/DanEdwardsGoal/status/652304268578418688
Don't know if this has been posted yet?
Not sure he's torn it going off the footage
Looks like he's strained it to me but I'm not a doctor/physio so I'm probably wrongWho is Dan Edwards?
exactly
He is the main man...hamstring expert
With Aguero out surely Bony is a good shout? Or Maybe Sturridge better?
Neither. It's Lukaku for me.
Bony is but may Pellers will play Sterling up front and through the middle
Sterling has looked very poor. And can't fininsh, not even Pelle is blind.
Wouldnt getbony, sturridge, yes, but has 2 difficult games. Maybe in 2 weeks and see first kloppis tactics
Depends how long he is out for.
Bony has so far started ever game Aguero hasn't, and only those games. City's next 4 fixtures are pretty decent.
Whos better kun replacement in your opinion?
Lukaku or pelle?
Pellè easily
Well I could do either of these:
A) Bench Aguero - and play Vardy (he was planned to be my first sub)
B) Aguero out for a hitA
A
Such a classic Aguero injury. The only silver lining is this:
GW8, NTI -11551, 25 points.
GW9, NTI +130561, injured.
😀I would have exact money to do kun ighalo to pelle sturridge for -4
Or just kun to pelle?Kun to Pellè for now, first get news on Aguero
Over 2 weeks until the Manchester derby. I'm willing to bench Kun for one game rather than go through the hassle of getting him out and in again.
The problem is who gets to play in his absence? I've a multitude of great choices on the bench like Westwood and two defenders who have yet to get a cleanie between them this year and have bad fixtures 🙁
Already used my FT (Martial > Pellé)a 2 point defender is better than a -4 for someone who probably won't score!
You could well be right. Think I've already bought the striker most likely to score 😉
lukaku or pelle for aguero replacement?
Pelle
If you don't have Mane then Pelle def.
So now we're back with the armband dilemma. Probably has to be Silva (BOU) or Pellè/Mane (LEI) for me.
Pelle for me if Kun confirmed out.
KDB for me
Pelle I think, KDB (VC)
(C)olarov
8 years, 6 months agoTime to get silly! Kun, Sturridge and Bojan to Bony, Pelle and Costa (-8)
