We delve into the members’ data tonight and assess some of the key statistics from the Gameweek gone by. Stoke and Leicester’s weekend goal heroes arrive on our radar, whilst we also analyse Chelsea’s lack of end product, Aaron Ramsey’s central midfield display and the relentless displays of Watford’s top scorer.
If I do Sturridge > Lukaku, I know for a fact Lukaku will stop scoring.
Please don't then. Ta.
I thought that when i got him in this week and he scored...
Henessy myhill
Dier darmain Moreno RICHARDSON Taylor
Hazard/sanchez mane coutinho mahrez BARKLEY
Aguero Kane VARDY
The big question is, do I stick with this team or replace Richardson to Zouma, Barkley to stanislas and vardy to lukaku?
Who is everyone brining in this week?
the points
alder
Thought it was KDB put looking at Silva or Strerling now
Gosling
Sterling.can't control my knee.
Any spurs fans about ?
Do they play full strength teams on Thursday nights?
Just considering getting Toby in to save the 0.1 Rojo drop.
We have been pretty full strength recently. Fullbacks get rotated though
So Rose could be safer if I'm intent on moving tonight ?
Yeah. But as Jax says below we're already through so Toby might not play.
they're through so doubt it.
Save transfer or try to avoid Coutinho drop?
Myhill Gomes
Kolarov Monreal VVD Nyom Dier
KDB Ozil Mahrez Barkley Coutinho
Kane Lukaku Vardy
1.2 1FT
Save , you have benching dilemmas already
Not really 🙂 top of a 150 mini league and in the top 8k. Dropped like 4K since I didn't cap Mahrez like I wanted to.
You could be 1st but you still have benching dilemmas 🙂
Cedric to Danny Rose is my transfer
The 2 bonus points has made me waver a bit but Southampton don't have fixtures or form .
Rose has good stats and decent fixtures , can't see anyone better (that I don't have)around that priceRose is good
So here's my dilemma - Sturridge needs to go, that's a given. If I didn't have Kane or Lukaku it would probably be the easiest decision of the season but I do so who do I go for?
Giroud - I'm likely to have Ozil and Ramsey come the start of this GW - not sure it warrants a triple on attack
Vardy - With fixtures I don't feel I can justify it
Ighalo - I like this weeks fixtures but not sure about ones after. Stats are ridiculous though
Martial - Nah
Benteke - Not sure I can put myself through it with Liverpool. Origi around and possibly Firmino to play up front again
Go Giroud and bring in Eriksen instead of Ramsey?
I really like Ramsey as an option though. I could get Giroud and bring in Silva/KDB?
I don't know enough about City to know whether both will play or which is the better option when they play together, what puts you off Eriksen?
If you can afford to bench him in GW17 until you have a free transfer than Ighalo could be worth it for this week?Possibly. Must sleep now but we'll resume this tomorrow and you can tell me what the stats say 😉
No idea comparing all those, but probably worth checking before you pull the trigger. I do know Eriksen has better stats than his popularity on here suggests.
Anyway, night!
Vardy - Dare I say, Vardy and Mahrez are pretty fixture-proof at the moment
Indeed. Likely to be nailed all over Christmas as well - certainly an option.
What about kun if if fit
Ah yes, left him off the list - completely forgot.
I mentioned this same question to the guys when Scoutcast was off air. If I go back to Aguero that will be 8 points spent doing:
Pelle --> Aguero --> Sturridge --> Aguero 🙁
Aguero is your man , annoying that probably won't be fit for this weekend
Agüero IF fit?
Ighalo, he's such a beast, always feel like he's gonna score when you watch him, I don't expect his returns to be dramatically affected
I'd punt, especially if none of the main options take your fancy. Or try and hold until Aguero is back, that's what I'm trying to do.
Punt on who though? Aguero and Sturridge haven't gone well...
Ighalo and bring in a good 5th mid to rotate over Christmas period?
Ighalo looks the best right now. Has the best form and the stats have been ridiculous all season.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, City in next 5 games. I know they've not all been on top form this season but still, that's some ugly fixtures.
Has to be either Vardy or Ighalo. Both great options overlooked because they aren't fashionable. Giroud is too risky and Benteke would be a bad move.
Gomes (sun)
Kolarov (SWA), Cedric (cry), Evans (liv)
Coutinho (WBA) *, Ozil (avl), Mahrez (CHE), De Bruyne (SWA)
Kane (NEW), Lukaku (nor), Vardy (CHE)
Myhill (liv), Martin (EVE), Drinkwater (CHE), Francis (MUN)
4.2m itb.
Is it actually worth swapping Francis to Smalling?
Ramsey then.. Interesting.
Im due a save but it will be hard to beat the bandwagon!!
KDB, Ozil, Hazard, Mahrez, Westwood..
Kane, Vardy, LukakuFantastic fpl player in that position!
Was there any Aguero news released before or after the game?
None
Heely good news.
nope. would have heard it by now.
No 🙁
It's painful holding. We must though.
Who is the best pick from the WBA defence? Just go with Evans for price or pay up for Dawson/Macauley?
Cheers.Huge night tonight for FPL...
1.5M players lost a MUN defender due to injury
123k lost Sturridge (again)
I think that's all?
Hits hits hits???nah I distanced myself from crocks e.g kun, sturridge.
Champions League and Europa still to come...
Indeed...!
Everyone could have lost a player come Friday
Except for Sharon, she'll never lose a player....
I've been giving it much thought but can't bring myself to a decision yet.
What to do with Aguero, i mean i can bench him this GW and play 3 5 2 if Coutinho's fit. But after that with the tight schedule ahead, even if he is fit to play Sunderland i wouldn't feel safe owning him at Xmas.
what to do:
A- Aguero to Lukaku -4 and have the boring strike force Lukaku Kane Vardy
B- bench him this GW and play 3 5 2 or even 4 4 2 and wait and see.B
Am I seeing things?? Sturridge and Darmian injured?
Don't hav them but means there will b few hits taken this wk I presume?
Tink il save.Smalling injured as well
Any word on Sanchez being back for the Man City game?
bit early mate. doubt it though.
Kane or De Bruyne (c)?
harry de bruyne?
Kevin Kane 😉
KDB Swans are horrid
Ronaldo is incredible... Such an awesome footballer.
Malmo.
...is incredible. 🙄
That's definitely the cause of his almost? or greater than? 1 goal per game in the CL
Yes. Big hauls against the likes of Malmo in the group stages. Hides in the knockouts against the top clubs, unless he scores a penalty.
*Rolls eyes*
I guess, but have you seen Hazard? Incredible!
Messi and Neymar are better
Irrelevant.
Enjoy the great players as they are.Not irrelevant if i took your post to mean Ronaldo is superior to both
Not sure how you got that,
- No mention of him being better than either of them
- No mention of him being better than any other player
Just enjoy them. No need to always debate who's better when someone mentions any of the 3.Yeah, but most people know he's incredible. Just thought by singling him out you might've been suggesting he's your preference of the 3.
I do enjoy them thanks x
He really didnt do that. Man just scored 4 goals, You took the post as a slight to the barca pair. Sarcastic right?
This
Fantastic. We've been lucky to see Ronaldo and Messi in the same generation of players. Nobody better.
Agreed. Just a shame that every time you mention one, you only get people saying the other is better (Not a dig Demi).
Would be nice/good if everyone appreciated that Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar are all absolutely incredible
No doubt he is a great footballer and incredible athlete but I just can't get passed his selfishness and arrogance.
Playing Malmo in a nothing game when he could've easily been rested just so he can clock up the goals. Lets see if he steps up against Munich or Barca.
Not celebrating when a teammate scores, instead cribs to the ref for not getting a pen. Done this on multiple occasions. Even in the CL Final he did nothing and when he scored the 4th which was a pen he celebrated as if he won the comp on his own.
He's only out for himself. Can't stand him.
Had Mane since GW1 but now it's time to get rid.
Need a City mid. Would happily take any of KDB, Silva or Sterling but I have to choose one and it's going to be KDB. I can always swap to Silva later.Same boat here but can only afford sterling without a hit.
Note KDB's home form.
HUGE points at home (53) vs away (18)
Massive difference, and could be a great differential (c) - compared to Kane.Cheers, didn't realise this and it explains a lot
Thoughts on giving him the armband?
Risky with so many on Kane (c)... But could be huge.I'm between the two of them
That's 8.8ppg at home.
You can make a similar (albeit not that great) difference for almost any City player, because City: home 23 goals, away 7 goals.
Correct - I think that he is being overlooked due to his poor away form & the recent battering at Stoke.
I'm really tempted to captain himI wouldn't be crazy about having City attack now though. 3 out of next 5 are away, against Arsenal, Leicester and Watford. The home matches are juicy, though: Swans and Sunderland, but with Allardyce Sunderland seems to be tightening up, and Swans might be about to at least try the same seen that their attack is not getting them goals and Monk must try to stop losing somehow in order to save his job.
But I would consider captaining a City attacker this GW, for sure.
As he's at 10.8, hes not really worth buying now if you don't think he's a captaincy option.
Rose and Davies to rotate over Christmas period?
Tottenham fans out there?I doubt it. tbh, I don't know why anyone is suggesting Rose has more chance of getting rotated than any other player
Full back is a very rotatable position and Bavies is pretty decent
http://www.transfermarkt.com/danny-rose/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/50174/saison/2014/wettbewerb/GB1/verein/148
I suppose last year's games don't show much because those games in December he was benched for look like games where he came back from injury
would like trippy to get some time -walker on 4 yellas
Has there been any actual proper news on Ageuro or just based on not appearing tonight?
nothing new no
Thanks
Didn't train
Praying for good news on Sergio
GTG?
Cech (Hennessey)
Kolarov | Smalling | Alderweireld (Simpson | Bennet)
Ozil | Mahrez | De Bruyne | Barkley (Wijnaldum)
Vardy | Lukaku(v) | Ighalo(c)
Don't convince me to captain Lukaku.
Rojo to Moreno or Alder?
Alder
Man U's defence is non existent, can't remember seeing a team with this may injuries in the same area, worse than Everton's.
With defence being their only strong point to date this season, I'm looking forward to them plummeting down the league over the xmas period 🙂
Horribly unlucky.
Varela Blind Carrick BJ is down to third choice backline...
A Theo bench appearance tomorrow, or do you think a start?
I re-watched the Arsenal game and he was looking very sharp when he came on. Deserved an assist for his contribution to Ramsey's goal. He was causing problems.Bench i rekon. Too soon to start
Is a City player a MUST this gameweek?
i'd be very concerned without one but you cant have everyone.
KDB is anyway
Have to take a hit because of Lanzini and Sturridge.
KDB and Ighalo in
It's a gamble either way. They could score huge, but it's a lottery who'll get the points.
Could come from any one of 5-6 players.probably. should win 2 or 3-0.
What are Andre Ayew owners doing with him?
Waiting until I have nothing better to do than move him on
Was going to sell but City's defensive woes of late and the injury to Darmian mean I'm holding for another week.
His fixtures after city look good and there could be a new manager bounce
I wouldn't be too excited if the new manager was Moyes.
Was initially gonna sell but because of Sturridge's injury I'll be doing Studge to Lukaku and benching Ayew. Will be playing Gosling instead of him
You think Gosling is more likely to return points than Ayew? No Kompany a bigger miss than Smalling/Darmian i think
Not sure about that. Bournemouths underlying stars have been really good and are at home
Yeah, but Andre Ayew is 10x the player. Surely bench Gosling?
Keeping as with Sagna, would like to get rid but bigger issues keep arising.
Value this season means it's no biggie having 7m on the bench.Yep
Like other have said, more pressing transfers. Not losing money and decent threat off the bench incase of rotation this winter if i dont get rid of him soon. Defence needs sorting before then thoigh
Mid ozil bruyne cout mahrez ayew
Sturridge has a red flag now!
Standard.
that'll be on his tombstone.
Noob question - can a player rise and fall in the same GW? Asking re Smalling.
yes
cheers
Yes.
