After assessing the Defenders and Midfielders’ form over the last four Gameweeks, our next members’ article now casts an eye over the frontmen. With Sergio Aguero owners likely to need a new replacement as a result of his hamstring injury, we delve into the data to highlight a number of in-form protagonists.
No reason at all to make a change.
Cheers trigg
Although its up to you. They do have Bournemouth at home the week after.
I made the drunken Aguero > Pelle switch last night, when logic (and a sober brain) would tell me there was no pressing need to push the button.
Don't make me regret it Pelle!!! 😐
Haha this is why waiting till Friday pressers for the first drink of the week is crucial.
True dat!
Final draft for the day ... how far away am I?
Butland, Elliot
Bellerin, Bertrand, Dawson, Hangeland, Billy Jones
Sanchez, Haz, Yaya, Mane, Payet
Pelle, Ighalo, Vardy
Looks good. Is Yaya fit?
Hope so - I might get Wally if he isn't.
Very nice, how much ITB? Could upgrade Jones, also is Hangeland a sure starter? Might be worth getting Ward instead as he should be back soon.
0.9 ITB.
Jones just has a nice fixture when the other 4 all seem to have tough ones.
Elliot may not be first choice too long. Darlow expected to be fit soon.
Do we know if he will be first choice, when fit?
There was an article explaining how Darlow is second choice to Krul. I don't have the link, sorry.
Ah, cheers. I'll look for it! Might get Hennessey instead.
If Pelle is your first choice striker on a WC, do you rate Vardy over Lukaku? Or have you gone Vardy because you dropped Mahrez?
I like this team, looks close to my WC team but went Wally over Payet and Simpson for Billy Jones and the 7.9m keeper combo 😐
I like the double up of Mane and Pelle, good job!I'll probably get in Lukaku in GW11 or 12. I need to chop and change a bit, but that's fine.
I would have liked to wait 2 weeks but I'd be playing with 9 😆Same issues here, Krul was the straw that broke the camels back.
I guess it depends how long you have had Payet for but with his fixtures ahead you could look at replacing him (probably would have to be for either Wally, Eriksen or Mata?)
Tough decision to drop Mahrez? That is what's frustrating meI never had Mahrez 😎
Had Payet for ages and he shows no signs of slowing down.
Never had Marhez? Ouch, unlucky
Worked out well last week 😉
Shame about the previous 6 GWs where you missed out on 60 points though 😉
How do you know who I played instead of him?
Irrelevant, he's still the top FPL points scorer and if you've never had him in your team you'll have lost a lot of ground
Those who had him last week got to play their first sub anyway
Team not linked so I'm guessing I'm doing better than you, even without Mahrez 😉
We'll see by the end Trigger, I finished up 1476 in the world last year if you beat that then fair play to ya
And Chelsea won the league last year 😆
Yes exactly, because they were the best team last year
The best teams will finish at the top this year, there's little to no luck over 38 gameweeks 😉
Like it a lot. Good job
Cheers! Guess I might be done, then.
Is there anything of substance to suggest that Pedro will be dropped long term? He still offers that pace and directness from midfield that CHE lack.
Probably chop and change until Jose finds something that actually works.
what is the new Breadbin nickname? he has another account here?
Why? Did he get booted??
Nothing other than they have other options.. Fabs, Oscar, haz, Willian with costa up front!
What to do with this team?
Butland MCCARTHY
Azpilicuetta, Francis, GOMEZ, KOLAROV, SAYLOR
Sanchez, Payet, Mahrez, Westwood, PEDRO
Martial, Vardy, AGUERO
A: Aguero, Westwood -> Pelle, De Bruyne (Play AOA and hope Pedro starts)
B: Aguero, Gomez -> Pelle, Bellerin (3-4-3 and hope Pedro starts)
C: B and with an additional hit for Pedro -> Hazard (total – 8)
A for me.
B.
B. Westwood will come in as 1st sub. Or -4 and get Pedro out.
Thanks. Westwood up against leaky Chelsea could go well.
I dont like selling Pedro for a hit before Villa at home, but maybe its the right call.
Hmmm lots of hits happening so maybe C but not Hazard. De Bruyne instead.
Thanks. Yeah, its a hit bonanza.
You fancy De Bruyne to keep it up?
RMWCT
Begovic Hennesey
Bellerin Bertrand Williams Bavies O'Shea
Sanchez Hazard De Bruyne Payet Mahrez
Pelle Vardy Ighalo
0 ITB
What do you think?
Wow..awesome
Haha cheers, thats what you like to hear
Haha thoughts on my predicament below? Initial plan was to WC in gw 11 loaded with manu and eve players
Responded.
Thats 7 of my front 8 and I also have Bellerin and Bertie, so happy that you got good reviews!
Haha yeah this could become a bit template, hopefully it pays off and i start climbing the leaderboards.
Gtg
That midfield!
Bottomed
Would you do any of these for a hit?
a. Jerome to vardy
b. ozil to sanchezMost probably B.
Neither
Nowrich have newcastle this weekSanchez explodes so is the only one worth the risk,but of course he might not
Sanchez is obviously playing out of his skin, but Ozil is not too shabby at the moment either. Surely not worth a hit to do that?
Would you WC this team? Already on a -4 and will take another hit getting rid of kun..but Is -8 enough for a WC?
Butland ruddy
Kolorav azpi huth ---- jevans Francis
mane payet sanchez mahrez -- fletch
Martial kun deeney
- lots of doubts of whether mane/jevans/Kolorav would startTake the hits IMO.
Thanks Eden..could be a horror week if the likes I mentioned don't start
I would WC, players like Deeney and Kolarov also need getting rid of IMO.
Pelle or Martial? (No other Southamton or United cover)
Pelle.
Pelle
Thanks guys!
Where did all these smug people with wildcards come from? Well played those who refrained GW3.
Tbh what was more surprising was where all the early WCers came from..
and it really is still early and i'm not comfortable playing it.. looks like there's no other option this week though
WC defense
Azpi Kolarov Bellerin Dawson Francis - 1.5ITB
Thinking Soare +0.5 over Dawson? Anything else?That defence is great,I would spend it elsewhere
This
I'd get rid of Azpi, keep Dawson
Any price changes last night?
1 fall Mcnair
Cheers, Poch.
Np mate
McNair dropped.
Hey DZ.
Just need sure on my Kun replacement. This is my team
Cech Scwarzer
Azpi Kolarov Bellerin Cedric Saylor
Sanchez Mahrez Sterling Mane Drinkwater
Aguero Sakho Ighalo
2.0 ITB 1 FT
I was initially going finally rid myself of Sterling but then Kun happened. I wasn't really considering Pelle as I have Mane and had my eye on a couple of strikers before Kun injury even happened as Sakho replacement. Namely Lukaku and Costa. So really I'm asking
1)Lukaku, Costa or Pelle?
2)Keep Sterling or out for hit?
Cheers guys1) Costa, Mane is enough SOU cover, and Chelsea cover for their upcoming fixtures seems like a good idea
2) Keep sterling, He may get a more advanced role now Kun is out2) yes I've heard this so will an inclined towards keeping (reluctantly)
Costa is a v good option. I'd keep Sterling this week, he has to play, right?
I think so yes. I was so confident of getting rid of him though, particularly after City smashed Newcastle AFTER he was taken on at halftime
Hold your transfers! Sanchez has had a curse put on him
http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/4160/extra-time/2015/10/12/16258672/peru-fans-curse-alexis-sanchez-shirtutm_source=FB&utm_medium=en_gb&utm_campaign=sanchez_curseWise advice, but not because of the mumbo jumbo curse nonsense.
Jerome expected to start this gw or mbokani?
Hard to tell
Grabban is also back in the good books. Stay away I'd say
So Jerome > Vardy for -4?
On WC. Need help.
Which is better?
A. Gomes, Coleman, Bertrand, Mane and Payet
B. Elliot, Jagielka, Cedric, Hazard, Mahrez (Have Vardy)
Do the defensive upgrades outweigh losing Hazard?
Thanks.A I reckon. Hazard has done nothing so far, yes he has good fixtures but Chelsea's form is awful.
Cheers. I'll have Costa anyway.
Oh if you have costa then A 100%
Hazard has 1 goal 3 assists
3 joint highest in chances createdCosta has done nada
Rest of the team.
Hennessey
Dawson Bellerin Simpson
Alexis KDB Fletcher
Costa Pelle VardyI prefer A but apart from the GK the defensive differences aren't massive upgrades so if you prefer the B Midfield its not worth the sacrifice
Cheers. So Hazard and Mahrez over Payet and Mane?
I said if you prefer them. Honestly if I had to order them in preference it would be Mane, Payet, Mahrez, Hazard.
You could use the extra cash to upgrade fletcherThanks.
Already used FT to do kun to pelle. Would you take a hit to do any of these? 5m itb
a. Jerome > vardy
b. ozil > sanchez
c. any others?
bego
kola skrtel whittaker
kdb ozil haz payet mahrez
pelle Jerome
McCarthy ighalo morgan gomezNo. Looks fine.
So no hits needed? Play ighalo or Jerome?
I think Ighalo could score against Arsenal. So him.
Cheers EOTE
No hits needed
Thanks poch
Bench one captain one:
Sanchez - Sturridge - Mata - Walcott - Pelle - Payet - Mahrez - VardyOne of the Leicester players
'To bench
Jesus talk about making it hard for yourself!
I'd bench Mahrez and Captain Sanchez or PelleI know right! Was kneeling towards that, thanks.
Rather you than me. I guess it's a good problem to have though.
Captain Sanchez/Pelle
Bench Mahrez/Vardy
A: costa / Barkley
B: lukaku / fabregasA.
A
A. Stay away from Fab for now
A) sturridge
B) bony
C) costaC I'd say.
Bony
I've done A myself but I love a gamble.
C
I can get in KdB for Yaya if I do Mane to Tadic.
Could work out.Keep Mane
Yaya is also explosiveTypical case of overthinking!
Cheers - I'll leave it!
Yaya will have pens now Aguero is out. Keep Yaya.
Wildcarding & going with 2 Newcastle (Janmaat & Wijnaldum) & 1 Chelsea (Costa) player...is this madness??
Yep.
If Costa's counselor says its madness then you better believe it
Not really. Janmaat is well loved round these parts and Wijnaldum looks like a really good buy for the Toon. Costa is a scumbag but I don't think that diminishes his FPL appeal
Got no problems with Janmaat if fit... he has looked VERY attacking. Problem is he has looked even more attacking than Wijnaldum.. who has played well but i cant see him being a great fpl option.
Not at all.
Elliot instead of Janmaat and save 0.6 mil? Obviously no attacking points involved though.
*0.9 mil
Gabriel , Hangeland , Davies
Are any of these guys expected to start for the foreseeable? nothing worse than a wasted transfer in defenseGabriel probably will, although who knows when Kos is back. Don't see the appeal of Hangeland or his teammates at all. Anyone can keep a CS against WBA and Watford. Spurs fans seem to think Rose will get back in shortly, maybe even this week.
Cheers mate.. Gabriel instead of Bellerin will mean i can overlook the last two. The problem is if i go for him and Merte becomes first choice in a few weeks Bellerin will be totally out of my price range.. i do honestly think he will start more often than not though
What he said
Gabriel!
Arsenal fan i assume? Sure about Gabriel.. a lot have doubts about him on here. Though i have a feeling people's experience with Gomez(totally different scenario though in truth) is putting them off him
Yep. Koscieny suffered a minor hamstring injury against Olympiakos so Gabriel will start the next game for sure. When Koscielny is back I think Mertesacker will be the one dropped. Gabriel has been absolutely superb for us so far, yet to concede a goal in the league with him on the pitch. Wenger would be mad to drop him, I say go for it. He's in my team already.
Davies looks pretty nailed so far. Hangeland should be too. Gabriel is the worry.
Aguero 100% confirmed out?
Yes
Woke up fancying Costa as my Aguero replacement, hmm...
Currently gave no Chelsea in WC team but it's nagging me
I think it's easy to consider Costa too because of the lack of strikers on form, I already have Pelle/Vardy, soo...
WC team ... Which one do you prefer?
A
Butland Gomes
Bertrand Bellerin Francis Toby Souare
Sanchez KdB Payet Walcott Mane
Lukaku/Bony Pelle Ighalo
B
Butland Gomes
Bertrand Bellerin Francis Toby Souare
Sanchez KdB Payet Mane Cabeye
Costa Pelle Ighalo
CheersA
Hi Guys, need your advise on my team.
Mignolet (McCarthy)
Darmian Kolarov Williams (Gomez, Richards)
Mahrez Sanchez (c) Ayew Payet (Yaya)
Vardy Pelle Martial.
Already done Gomis > Pelle. Should I take a -4 hit to Gomez > Dawson?
Thanks!Nope. Who knows...Klopp might love Gomez and play him over the others. Hold him for the time being.
No point... Save yourself 4 points
Any reason why I can't find Diego Costa in the comparison stats tool?
try Diego da Silva Costa
He's right there under Diego Costa.......
Yes he is...... thanks
NEED SOME OPINIONS !!!
Who wud U pick among
Adam Johnson (SUN),
Howson(NOR),
Herrera (MUTD),
Kone(EVE) and
Abgonlahor(AVL)
picking for a draft league..none..if I had to pick 1 then still wouldn't pick anyone of those
haha... very slim options available...
Of those Konr but yeah probably none
Don't get the sudden Costa love in this site these days. Being suspended and losing his weight has suddenly made him more appealing?
It's mostly value bias and because he plays for Chelsea.
He's appealing for a numerous reasons, we aren't playing great but that'll change at some point and I guess Costa's a somewhat differential, nice fixtures, and there's not exactly a great deal of replacements, especially if you already own Pelle/Vardy like myself.
Would still prefer Hazard for a Chelsea attacker for those fixtures and especially when his temper seems to an issue.
8 years, 6 months agoHi....haven't taken a hit yet...is it worth doing mane to Westwood for a hit and benching ighalo v Watford...or do I stick with what I have......
If I get mane as well as Pelle I'll end up with 2 saints for their next game at lpool....
Currently on
Begovic McCarthy
