DDG (Butland)
Dann, Azpil, Cedric (Kompany, Monreal)
Ozil, Mahrez, Cabaye, KDB (Mane)
Ighalo, Lukaku, Vardy

Got 1FT and WC to play before the 19th. Also in a mini-league where highest points for December wins cash. Please make suggestions 😀

A) Cedric --> Zouma for now and Play WC next week
or
B) something else
or
c) Play WC now

Is Ollson nailed? Seems to be a great budget pick. 4,3 and great fixtures.

Get Ramsay now, or wait after City?

Is it just me or does next GW look like a low scoring one?

Hennessey
Begovic
Alderweireld Evans Francis Cathcart Monreal
Firmino Mahrez Wijnaldum Hazard Mané
Lukaku IghaloAgüero

So mane and firmino out but the question is for whom ?
Silva, Ramsey, Couthino, YYT ?
2ft, 1.4m in the bank.

Gomes, Hennessey
Bellerin, Moreno, ROse, Dann, SImpson
KDB, Ozil, Mahrez, Deulofeu, Ali
Kane, Giroud, Lukaku

1FT 6.1M ITB

Wouldlike to get Ramsey in GW18, but would require me to sell Bellerin, which I'm willing to do.

a) Dawson
b) Wolly
c) Zouma
D) Save FT and do 3 transfers next week for -4

I don't know why I got Kane. did it as all ml rivals have him

but check his scores, only 2 double figures all season and one of those was gifted to him by the Bournemouth keeper.

I might keep him for Xmas, but he also might be gone again come sat.

again, 2 scores over 8

De gea, Hennessy
Moreno, bellerin, alderweild, wollshied, simpson
De bruyne, Ozil, mahrez, coutinho, Westwood
Lukaku, Kane, Vardy
2ft
Thinking Westwood to windilum and maybe bellerin to a Chelsea defender?
Any ideas I've had a horrid weak

Just woke up, had Kane C. Are you taking the piss mate? Two weeks I put my faith in you over Lukaku. Will never trust a spud again. Out of the top 10k I go..

Amazing how one transfer can make or break a gameweek. 25 points lost due to bringing Kane in for a hit.

Bottomed.

Is there an argument to not get Lukaku? Only 3 easy games left for him before fixtures turn. Probably won't (C) him against Leicester. Everton have a game on the 26th and 28th, could get rotated? Best too avoid then?

Regret =

Going against my gut and doing Aguero -> Kane, rather than Francis -> Ake. Then watching Ake get a CS and 2 bps, Stanislas score (he'd have come in for Aguero) and then Lukaku score again (would have captained him if i hadn't got Kane)

All this and now i don't Aguero anymore.

Urgh.

Didn't see the match, just now checked the shot maps (from whoscored.com, the following stats are NOT from the member's area!!!), and it seems like Villa may have some big positives to take from the Arsenal match, despite losing.

Arsenal average, this match included, 16.8 shots (15.6 away from home) and 11.9 SiB (11), and averagely concede 10.4 shots (10.6 away) and 5.1 SiB (5.2).

Villa held them to 8 shots and 7 SiB, and themselves got 18 shots and 7 SiB, being just the 4th team in PL to outshoot Arsenal this season.

They also held averagely 5.9 SoT (5.7) Arsenal to just 4 SoT, but themselves only got 2 SoT (arsenal, on average, has conceded 3.7), which tells pretty directly why they lost.

Arsenal lead from 8 minutes and this was an away match after a big tiring midweek CL clash, which two factors partly explain why they ended up losing shots, but I don't think they explain them to an extent that this wouldn't have been impressive from Villa. E.g. Bournemouth played ManU in similar conditions and drew both shots and SoT, and lost SiB.

Dier, Walker or Rose?

Shocking week. Dunno what it is about Christmas and me having bad weeks. Every year!

Rival: 4 seasons, never finished in top 500k
Me: last 5 seasons, never finished outside the top 10k

Guess who's leading our Minileague? 😆

Another awful GW. Down to 387k. What to do here?

DDG Henn
Bellerin Rose Moreno Cedric O'Shea
KDB Eriksen Coutinho Mahrez Bolasie
Lukaku Kane Vardy

Thinking about Cedric to Wolly for free. Good move? Or something else?
1.8 ITB

Who are people replacing Kolarov with?

Spurs next three:

Southampton (a)
Norwich (h)
Watford (a)
Everton (a)

Not easiest of fixtures, I've commented earlier in the week based on my observations of Kane against Chelsea and West Brom that he was playing far deeper than usual. On several occasions in the last few games, you see him often in wide areas when the ball is played up and not in the danger areas, other Spurs Midfielders are ahead of him making runs into the penalty box. As a Striker his role is to get into the box to increase his chances of scoring a goal. He's not doing that which will limit his scoring opportunities.

I also think he's out of form, and on occasions he's been few yards short of the ball when played into him in the box. Infact he was player earlier in the season when he wasn't scoring, at least then he was getting his shots off in the box, just unlucky not to score.

Is it time to look beyond Kane and bring in another striker?

My captaincy picks each gameweek.

GW13: Kane - 26
GW14: Sánchez - 8
GW15: Kane - 2
GW16: Özil - 12

The feels when your sister is doing better than you

Ighalo has difficult fixtures coming up. His price is likely to rise.

Fixture proof?

Kane --> Ighalo?

All hail moyes, muppet.

Any help would be appreciated

DDG. McCarthy.
Mahrez. Walcott. Barkley. Ozil. KDB.
Ighalo. Kane. Lukaku.

2 free transfers. £3.8 ITB.
Don't really want to spend much more. As I'm planning doing Theo to Sanchez when he's played a full 90min game. So need some cash ITB.

Thinking doing either Kolv or Bellerin to Ivan perhaps?

not much of a music person but just heard the weeknd - the hills (yes im soooo late) for the first time

ill happily take red arrows to listen to this song every dayyy

Hope this makes you guys feel better. 🙂

Mahrez, Willian, Hazard and Vardy left tomorrow

The potential of a great GW is still there, but more than likely it'll be a low-scoring game 😕
