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.
i'm not even sorry
Imagine picking one of those to bench every week....
Scary.For sure....but temporary headache until Kun is fit - downgrade Ayew/Vardy to fodder and upgrade Sturridge to Kun.
Oooft.
If Aguero is our best replacement
A) Martial
B)Lukaku
C)Pelle
Thanks
C or Bony if you fancy a City based punt
Did think that but Southampton got good fixtures Everton in a few weeks
If Aguero is out that long. I would guess no more than a couple of Gws
Vardy
Pelle
Forward already are Vardy and Gomis
C
Sturridge?
Needs to prove he better than Pelle for now
I know Lukaku going to fire soon
Looking at fixtures Aguero to Pelle the best option I reckon but Bony very tempting too. Costa no thanks. Sturridge possible too
Bony's rubbish.
He's clearly not rubbish just taking his time to fit in
Been 9 months now. How much longer, especially when he adapted well to life in the PL at Swansea.
He has been rubbish.
I'd give him until he actually starts consistently starting games and then judge him, especially since he has always succeeded when given a chance.
That's never gonna happen now though. He will always just be a backup.
better to doube up in MF with KDB and Silva (+Pelle) than risking Bony
Hi all....would sensible move here with this team, if kun is out be kun to pelle?...Cheers..
Team is
Begovic McCarthy
Kolarov clyne Dawson Francis oshea
Sanchez mahrez payet kdb Westwood
Kun ighalo martialSmall part of me is tempted by Sturridge purely because of the new managerial affect and such, it's a shame their fixtures are horrid.
effect*
Tempted too
Aguero down. Paaaaaniiiiicccc
I could find myself going from owning 0 Southampton players last week to owning 3 Southampton players this week. Funny how things work out 😛
Bottomed last page:
Butland
Kolarov Dawson Azpi
Sanchez Silva Payet Mahrez
Kun* Pelle Vardy
Subs: Evans Wanyama Gomez
IF kun is out:
A. Kun to Lukaku for -4
B. Let Evans play and do transfer next week for free.Thanks for all your advices. Very helpful 🙁
B
Forward line of
Pelle. Gomis. Vardy
Too lightweight?Nah, just have money ITB for when Aguero returns.
no, only expensive striker that is tempting is Sturridge imo
Costa? No?
No chance.
Da fck, Aguero you fool. Ffs
Never mind the kun injury...
Northern Ireland qualified for the euros!!!!!!!!!!
Yeeeeeeeeoooooooooooooooooooo
GAWANice one!
Aguero ---> Davis 😉
He was amazing last night to be fair 🙂
I am going Maginnis - OOP goalie!
Great news. I'm old enough to remember them beating Spain in the '82 World Cup finals.
Thanks Granville. Amazing achievement by the green and white army. Belfast was buzzing last night!
Stuart Dallas means im a NI supporter now
...and Arcanadas lost it, Armstrongggg!
Well done NI. 1 NI manager sacked this week and 2 doing great. We don't breed great managers here in the ROI for some reason.
So, that was a short lived advantage...
Have you read what klopp said yesterday? Man i love the guy already
What did he say?
This. Link please? 😀
Wonder why Kun hasn't been flagged yet
Morning Nick!
What are you thinking? Surely he is going out?Hey mate!
Tough to say, but it doesn't look good 🙁
Thinking Aguero -> Pelle with my FT if he is out.I'd be tempted to play the WC if I had it now Nick. Just a thought. 😉
Just because of one injury?
It's a player who's over 13 though, more than one-eighth of your Total team value. If he indeed is out for long, you could take advantage by spreading out the funds.
Yeah that's true. I guess it just depends how long he is out for really. I'd still rather make a downgrade to Pelle and WC for the fixtures I reckon.
What's your plan if he's out?Not sure at all. Lukaku/Pelle tempt me, but I have Mane and Pelle's just too frustrating to own. I might go for Lukaku. Sturridge/Costa are the ones I might look at, but too punty right now.
Yeah fair enough. Pelle has improved massively from last season, imo, and is in a purple patch right now. I think he's a safer bet than Mane personally.
Yeah Sturridge tempts me, although he looked very much off the pace in the derby. He'll probably get injured again soon anyway 😀Those hamstrings are weak!
Every part of his body is! 😀
he has now
Good spot, hadn't refreshed my page 😛
Thanks for reminding me. Done now.
Cheers 🙂
No problem
On wildcard picking a cheapish mid to rotate. Go for Barkley and just bench him for next two weeks? Rest of my team have good fixtures until then anyway. Or do I go for a Palace mid?
Barkley's a bit too expensive to be rotated imo. Fancy one of the Norwich mids?
Opinions on WC team?
Butland Ruddy
Kolarov Bellerin* Azpi Evans Francis
Sanchez KdB* Mahrez Payet Wanyama*
Martial* Vardy Pelle*
* is who I bring in
Huth>Bellerin
Sterling>KdB
Sakho>Martial
Kun>Pelle
1.7ITB
Anyone thinking of WCing? My team is a mess at the moment
Yes - sadly in January
Poor 'ol Kun. Just outrageously cursed with injury.
So a firesale beckons and replacements in his price bracket (9-13m) are low to the ground. Seems better now to have Martial and two cheapies unless Bony is worth considering,which I'm not sure he is.
Pelle hands-down the best replacement if you don't have him. Not that I think he'll need replacing.
Pelle or Lukaku over Martial, no question.
Someone post yesterday wishing for Sanchez injury and he jinxed Kun,....
For me the best thing about this news means I can get to 3-5-2 viably. I think we have to think Kun is out for a while - can't have 13 million on the bench...
Agree with this.
Yes or No?
If you owned Zouma alongside a D of Dawson, Gomez, Richards and Kolarov, would you swap him out for a STH defender this week?
Yes or No? (best of 13)No
it wouldn't be a priority
Is that a No?
If that was my defence, I would hold for AST and play him with Dawson and Kolarov.
Sanchez (c) then?
Pelle is tempting
Agreed
Sturridge...? Especially now with the Klopp effect...? New Lewan
Benteke will be the new Lewan
this would be great
Hey Daniel! Now that Aguero is out are you finally going to use a proper adjective in your name?
Rumours that Doosra sold Aguero before the Newcastle game and had already spent points bringing him back before the international.
If true...ouch.I think you're right that he brought him back! Ouch!
He's used to the odd hit or 300 so highly unlikely to ruffle his feathers.
Doosra spent 8 to change his whole team around to get Aguero back in. He's lost his head.
A week after he used his WC as well.
He's like the site mascot. Richly entertaining.
Entertaining. Sky rocking entertainer
He also stated us Aguero captainers were "lucky". Of course nobody predicted such a haul, but he is one of the best players in the league with incredible explosive potential at home to a shocking side 😕
He's going t be crying into his cornflakes this morning.
Who do people think could get dropped by klopp?
I think Sakho will finally oust Lovren. I think Rodgers only played him because of his price tag in the hope that he would come good and live up to the 20m.
Interesting thought. I have Milner in a draft league and just hoping he remains nailed on haha
Can't see him losing his place, work horse that lad
Sakho had already ousted Lovren before his injury, just like he did last season.
Yeah you're right, but the whole Sakho/Lovren thing has never been clear. One would be first choice, but a few bad games and the other would be in
if no injuries I can see Milner getting dropped
Noooo
Lallana to cement a place in the starting line up prehaps.
Wasted talent.Moreno war rubbish so maybe new chance for Gomez
Moreno v good going forward though
I think Moreno is suited to Klopp's style much more than Gomez is. LB isn't even Gomez's preferred natural position.
this
Can't see him being dropped
A - Aguero to anyone this week for -4
B - play Ighalo (ARS), sort Kun next week for free
?B
B, doing the same
Probably A, depending on the length of the injury. If he is out for 1 week then B, but anything longer term you want to be shifting such an expensive player
Same dilemma here. I recon we have time to see what Klopp does with pool strikers.
If we pick the right striker - good odds on him performing better than Ighalo +4
Why are people not considering on bringing in Lukaku for Aguero...for those who are considering to remove Aguero
still a couple of bad fixtures
I'm bringing in Lukaku I think. Fixtures mean nothing to him.
I am actually. Lukaku's known to perform in big fixtures and hitting blanks in the easy ones.
Wait for the Aguero news of course but Lukaku is top of my list of replacements. I'll give you the full list if you're interested:
1. LukakuLukaku is who I had in mind too. Don't trust him but there's only Martian. Igloo is too lightweight and there's no one else.
Funny thing is, I'd have exactly the front 3 you stated if I went Aguero to Lukaku.
Good signs? 😛
Klopp first interview @ LFC
I believe in a playing philosophy that is very emotional, very fast and very strong. My teams must play at full throttle and take it to the limit every single game.
Need Suarez back...Lallana will be the man for Klopp
Barkley> KDB for a hit??
Yah or nah??
you'll want him back after a couple of games though
agueros dead
8 years, 6 months agoCoutinho + Aguero + Rantie > Mane + Pelle + Sturridge (-8) and AoA chip is suddenly tempting....
Would have front 8 of...
Sanchez - Payet - Mane - Mahrez - Ayew
Sturridge - Pelle - Vardy
