Our first members article of the week delves into the Gameweek 13 data this evening. We assess the downturn in form of a trio of premium midfielders, as Alexis Sanchez, Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard’s displays arrive under our radar. Harry Kane and Roberto Firmino’s weekend showings are also analysed, whilst we take a look at Bournemouth’s midfield improvement since Eddie Howe switched tactics in Gameweek 11.
id do C, A then B
Looks like I'm a little early to the party
Up to you really.
Ive brought Lukaku in for Pelle this week.
Have Kane already..
Hoping the Kun doesn't go too mad in the next few weeks.
Prob bring Kun in a few weeks.
No mad rush hopefully with Kane/Lukaku providing solid returns.
A or B. It's potluck
This.
Don't think Alexis Sanchez is a guy who would want a rest.
He doesn't really get the concept one feels
He's not but he'll get one at some point - big question is when
Takeaway from tonight.
Sanchez still as essential as ever backing up the stats!Not if he only scores in Europe 🙁
Who to captain out of....
Sanchez
Kane
Kun
(don't have lukaku)
Thanksim currently on kun
I have had the band on Sanchez since Saturday. Tend not to change it unless there are injuries. Fancy him to rip Norwich a new one.
I feel a well-rested, on-form, confident Sanchez (those two goals tonight will help!) against Norwich could be a good choice; potentially great. I'm going for him as captain.
i need the best defender for 6m or less
1. Aldy, great pick, can score but spurs dont seem to keep clean sheets
2. rose/walker, cheaper options for spurs
3. zouma, seems nailed, can score and great fixtures
4. stones, great performance and fixtures
5. dawson, a west brom def but very bad fixtures
other options??
i have bellerin, moreno, wolly and simpson and ddg as keeper
p,s. on my WC3
thanks, im really considering him but need more convincing
1 or 4
who would u get??
Well, I would trust Spurs to keep more cleansheets than Everton long term so on that basis. Alder.
thanks a lot....im considering 1 or 2 currently but since im on WC, looking for best options
sorry meant 1 or 3
Good luck fella!
I wouldn't trait Chelsea's defence at all. I have had Azpi for weeks. It's been a shambles.
*trust
appreciate all ur comments mate. thanks a lot
No worries, hoe you get a triple digit score with your WC
hoping so...trying to improve it and hoping it looks good
WBA fixtures turn for the significantly better really soon, and your other defenders rotate well up until then.
But I'd probably Rose for now.Actually yeah definately Rose. Or at least a Spurs defender. Rotates PERFECTLY with Wollscheid and will keep Simpson on the bench at all times.
so would u go aldy or dawson??
KDB price drop forces me into my Aguero move before CL. I need a big sofa to hide behind.
KDB to King Vardy to Kun
Feels good to have a bench mid again after benching Mahrez and Barkley for the big scoresIdeal scenario..
He goes mad during the Champs League and then pulls up early on Saturday ruling him out for 2 weeks (so as not to be too mean to him)You know it
If you haven't already made the transfer, wait on it. You can still do Gosling (who is just as attacking and more nailed than King) and get Kun.
Yeah did see that but Eddies comments swung it for me.
Hi boys in a class....
Quick question, might wollscheid rise and Williams drop tonight?
FPL stats say yes total FPL say no
Thanks
Total Fpl is useless
Concentrate on your class! 🙂
In 24 hours some of us could really be ruing those Aguero transfers...
I was already expecting him to play some part so we'll see.
Aguero playing, Firmino worries - not the greatest early hit I've ever madeWhat's wrong with Firmino ?
Just not sure about him now I've transferred him in. Just hoping he gets the minutes.
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/477170/Roberto-Firmino-Liverpool-signing . The fact he is trying to convert him suggests he is fairly nailed on for the time being ?
That might actually be more worrying with Benteke and Sturridge around
Well I tried to help and made things worse . Batman out 😎
No no.
"But Klopp is a huge fan and has been full of praise for Firmino since he took the Anfield job.
Klopp had seen the Brazil star's talents first hand in the Bundesliga at Hoffenheim and was suitably impressed.
The former Borussia Dortmund chief said: "I’d say a year ago for a few months for sure he was the best player in the Bundesliga.
“When I heard Liverpool took him, I thought ‘good choice’.”"
Nailed on.
Firmino will be nailed when fully fit. One of the first names on the team sheet. He just isn't fully fit right now.
He hasn't been so far though....although some said he was still looking for match fitness.
Yep - but see above
Or be smug that we're on our WCs....
That would be kinda handy alright.
Makes sense to wait.
People considering Kane are you worried about a Spurs European hangover?
Nope
another question, im on my WC. best 5th mid
king or gosling??
i didnt follow bournmouth much and was set on gosling but seen too much love for kingToss a coin
i just didnt watch both so i was hoping for some opinion lol
I can't believe that anyone would have any convincing argument for either. Unless they gave birth to them of course
lol good point
I'd go Gosling with fixtures heating up over the Christmas break. He's more nailed than King, and that's what you need from a 5th mid: reliable starts for when one of your other 7 attackers is rested.
thanks a lot. i agree. im currently on him
@ WR
Your an inspiration.
Just eating some cheese here now, thanks.
Don't blame me if you have mares all night 😛
Don't do drugs kids, do late night cheese
Lanzini or King?
two different prices but if it doesnt matter, go lanzini
This. It's not even close, really.
What happened to Terry tonight ?
Stretcher
Cheers . Zouma being nailed on for the next couple would be nice
but he has played 90mins for the last 6 fixtures....
Some were at right back with Ivanovic out and lets face it with Terry and Cahill at the club he is not going to be 100 % nailed . I hate having that nagging doubt that he is one bad game away from being dropped
21pts in last 5 games for him. He's a big threat in the box. I'm seriously considering him.
The thing is if I get Firmino, I'd have to lose Sanchez or Lukaku to get Kun in the future. As opposed to Vardy.
Hey lads! Seem to be on track for my best season yet 🙂 Thoughts on what to do here?
Hennessey - (DDG)
Moreno - Dier - Simpson - (Kompany# - VVD)
KDB - Mane - Barkley - Sanchez - (Drinkwater)
Kane - Lukaku(c) - Vardy
2 FT and 0.5 ITB
I'll play Kompany over Simpson if fit, any other changes to make?since u have 2 FT, its better to use 1 at least. so either use them to get kun if u r willing to or replace mane imo
Thinking Mane straight swap to Coutinho??
No need for Kun at the moment with those 3 strikers on formif coutinho is fit, id do it or better if u can afford ozil
I could swap Sanchez for Ozil... Can't do Mane to Ozil unfortunately..
i wouldnt get rid of sanchez all season unless he is injured
Watford's short term fixtures are immense, thinking of getting Abdi, he'll be a differential at least
Not sure if he's the Watford man, does he get in enough attacking positions? For me of your going Watford, it has to be Igloo or Deeney.
i agree with the fixtures but not abdi to get
Is Zouma nailed?
yep coz terry stretchered off
Is he less than £5.0m?
5.4m
trying to know that if terry is fit
I feel for the people who sold Sanchez. He'll get back to his best to haunt them.
Despite blanking in last four transfering him out before nor,sun,avl is bit odd one.
Did he get subbed off early for a rest today at all...??
No. He gets tired if he rest apparently
No
this, madness
Damn, wish Bournemouth had better fixtures, those numbers!!
Feel like Ritchie is starting to justify the season hype. Looks like he would be a nice piece in a 5 man midfield.
Francis however... I have still got him but I'm not sure they well ever get a clean sheet. Sunderland defenders look better right now.
There are others also to consider from BOU, King and Gosling. BOU vs EVE could be a goal fest.
What idiot and amateur made this utter stupid UCL fantasy?
I hate it.Epicfail, what have you done?
Hi guys,
Who do I get for Pellè replacement? Can't afford KÜn. Own Lukaku and Vardy already. Obviously Kane is the top choice, but what about Benteke punt?? Like Watford's short term fixtures, but don't trust the, to score many.
Thanks...!Kane for me
Kane.
Just get Kane
Kane or Giroud
this
Benteke isn't nailed unfortunately.
of course he's nailed. When fully fit he starts
Cheers, lads. Hadn't contemplated Giroud. Isn't Walcott due back soon, though...?
Giroud scores quite often
Link to Mark's team?
Click my profile, go to my team and then mods league 🙂
Cheers Andy
No worries
If you have to bench one, who would it be: Mahrez or Vardy?
Mahrez
Mahrez
Mahrez
Vardy
Cheers! One of the two will move after this GW, me thinks.
Mahrez.
Vardy
Mahrez only because Vardy will take PKs til the goal streak ends.
I bet all the Alexis traders will be couch hiding come this weekend 🙂
San(c)ez all the way.Nah, I'm not afraid.
Anyone think Bou vs Eve could be high scoring?
Yup. Lukaku to beat the 5 goal heroics of Aguero imo
yeah 1-5
3-5
9 shots inside the box by Dan Gosling over the last three Gameweeks is more than any midfielder.
🙂How many on target???
His teammate (King) stats are much better.King might get dropped
scored in the last game, he's a starter.
in what way are they much better?
Yup. Has been on my radar for last two weeks and will become my 5th mid when time is right.
Guys,
So I'm a student and managed to get tickets to Spurs vs Chelsea at WHL this weekend. Any advice?
Never attended a football game in Europe and the stabbing of the West Ham fan has me scared. Is there really a police escort or something in derby games? I just ask because the ticket/official website predictably gives no important information..
It will be fine - just make sure you know where you are going after the game as WHL is notoriously hard to get home from.
Don't worry about that sort of thing and enjoy the game. Best not to cheer too much if you're sitting in the wrong end though.
Don't be scared in the slightest...If you went out on a Saturday night amongst 40,000 drunks in a town centre you'd have a much higher chance of ending up in a fight.
I think I'm more scared because I'm brown, have been racially abused in London very recently.
Thank you though fellas, very reassuring.Tough one then, but don't go to the Chelsea end, at least.
That post made me sad. It's 2015 for crying out loud 🙁
Listen mate, just go and enjoy the game, try and get there early and just stick to the main streets and not side streets. It's a midday kick off so there won't be too many drunks. Just wear neutral colours, no white or blue, and relax. You'll be fine.
use the force youll be fine
From all roads to the Spurs defence, why (not) to choose the one that goes through Walker?
Cheapest and nailed on. Trippier has been a wreck.
I have Alderweireld myself, but I got him cheap.
He averages a goal every 2 years, so if its this weekend goal that you chase you may be disappointed.So, he is nailed on? He looks like it, by his history. Just his performances put me off.
Yes very much so. The RBs on the roster are Tripper, Dier, Toby. Trippier has turned out to be incompetent (thus far) and the other 2 are doing too well in other positions to move there. So however bad he performs, he will play.
Thanks. I might just get him then.
Thanks btw.
I think the time might have come to part ways with Ayew. Which mid, besides Barkley, could I bring in for 7.3M max?
Captain Kane or Lukaku?
Lukaku
8 years, 5 months agoI've asked this twice already and will probably ask again before Saturday, but:
A. Pelle > Lukaku
B. Pelle > Kane
C. Pelle > Kun and KDB > Delefeou (-4)
