Our first members article of the week analyses a number of key statistics from the previous round of fixtures. We cast an eye over Tottenham, Newcastle and Man City’s midfield and strikers and also assess Watford’s out-of-sorts attack as the Hornets struggle for a cutting edge.
For those with Payet, it's not quite the no brainer. Especially as the options are Firmino, Barkley, Silva...etc. You just don't know who to sell him for.
What i do with Mahrez depends on Sanchez' form
My thoughts excatly. Had 1 FT to burn and pretty satisfied with my defence.
Wanted Payet in despite tough home fixture. Wanted to keep Alli who has stats and fixtures, refuse to drop KDB or Özil so think it was time to sell Mahrez
Who do you replace him with?
Agree with Jazzii! Payet owner here.
And for me, Mahrez's appeal was never entirely about his pens. He may no longer be scoring points like a 10M midfielder, but he's not 10M. I don't think we've seen enough yet to decide he's not going to keep delivering value for money.
Yup dropping for Sanchez in a week or so.
TIme to WC? Kinda hard to figure out how to get my players into team comming weeks....
Team:
Butland - Ruddy
Clyne - Bellerin - Toby - Ward - Sagna
Özil - Ramsey - KDB - Alli - Mahrez
Kane - Lukaku - Ighalo
I have this week
Hold on?
RP
4O-50ish points behind ML leader.
Do I hold with a couple of differentials (Moreno and Simpson) or make my move now and remove KdB, Marhez or Alli?
Looking at Firmino, Silva... Who are your differential tips?
Not much room for differentials yet. Stick with the stronger team and negotiate the blanks.
Nice one, cheers, Woy
I've just done the same last week dude.
Took out Mahrez and Lukaku because the ML leader (I'm in 2nd by about 20) is holding them.
Bought in Kane and Alli because he doesn't have them.
I think it depends on the team which you are chasing; sorry for sounding obvious.
Sell Myhill to?
A. Forster
B. Lloris
C. Howard
my other GK is Elliot
Keep for the next few games
B) is the choice otherwise.
Play him this week and hope he starts
but I have 2 FT
Myhill Elliot
Bellerin Johnson Cresswell Moreno Nyom
Silva Ozil Payet Mahrez Alli
Kun Lukaku Ighalo
and I don't know what to doB is a season keeper (pun)
A
Struggling since GW1 and tired of being on the wrong side of 500k (yes, it's come to that).
Yesterday shipped Mahrez, KDB and Kolarov for a -4.
It's time to go hard or go home.Who did you get ?
Payet, Barkley, Baines.
You should be searching for bigger differentials if you're applying the "go hard or go home" Ownership of Payet and Barkley is already huge.
Hows this looking?

Hi everyone
Is Zouma & Ighalo ➡ Targett/Bennett & Lukaka worth -4? Cheap defender will be 5th
Have Kun and Kane as other 2 geezers up front
Yep. Don't get Bennett, NOR signed a new CB.
Same situation La Roja. Dang it is hard! Not sure to be honest.
I'm tempted to just give Ighalo one last chance vs Newc.I will probably pull the trigger.
Watford look terrible vs Swans and they arent doing well last 4 weeks anyway.
Newcastle on the other hand however, improving and looking much better with Shelvey.
Lukaku vs Swans
tough one, but not having lukaka could hurtYep. Sound reasoning. Go for it.
P.S. My situation is a bit different in that it is for Kun.
Butland
Moreno - Toby - Bellerin
Ozil - Mahrez - KDB - Payet
Kun (c) - Lukaku (vc) - Iggy

Good to go this week?All good.
Non FPL related
I have an ACL reconstruction surgery and partial meniscectomy 5 days ago
I can now flex my knee 98 degrees and I can walk without that much pain with a leg brace and crutches.
I've been trying to walk without the crutches and it worked surprisingly well.
Should I attempt to not walk with the crutches at all today, and is my rehab fast or slow?
I'm a 16 year old male who is fairly athletic if I say so myselfI am not hooked to any CPM machine
Is it wise for me to continue my rehab without it?
Walk with crutches, otherwise you may have issues with your backbone. (you won't walk normally, even without big pain)
I would suggest walking with crutches if the doctors told you to do so.
I know at your age you always feel the need to speed up the healing process/ get back into sport quickly, but I'd give it some time.Okay then
They told me to, so I probably shouldn't be doing it
Cheers!Yep I was the same as you, trying to get back on the pitch asap.
But listen to the doctors, they know best!
Take your time .
Your going to need that knee for a good few years yet , these little war wounds and aches and pains build up over the years
Give it lots of time to heal
This is my current team
Butland,
Alderweireld, Dann, Konscielny,
Ozil, Payet, KDB, Mahrez,
Ighalo, Kane, Lukaku.
Subs: Hennessey, Moreno,Dawson, Alli
ITB 3.4
How get Aguero from this team? Who should I transfer out to get Aguero?Mahrez > Stanislas/Gosling; Ighalo > Kun
It's not worth using WC if there are only 4 teams playing twice in a DGW, right ? Like in the first possible week due to the League Cup.
Depends on the 4 teams. If its City, Eve, Liv and New, you'll likely have enough cover already. Wildcard might be needed after a dgw rather than before.
What about trying to get 14 DGW players a GW before and play BB on the DGW?
Need help please for my 1FT
A: Kane to Lukaku
B: Kolarov to Baines
C: Walcott to Barkley/Payet
C Payet
C Payet

Morning, my best option here Mahrez > Gosling and free up some funds?

Ighalo is starved and sees a lot of attention these days
Love it
Only no Lukaku could be concern, have the same forwards and I am concern 🙂
Looks ok to me. Watch your 2 Gks situations
We buying on Rooney?
Nope, Kane Lukaku and Agüero the main 3. Rooney just lurking in behind along with Costa
We???
Baa BaaaaThat back heel was sick...
I did. Kun Kane rooney is my front 3
Need help regarding Transfer:
Myhill, Hennesey
Bellerin, Dawson, Moreno, Cresswell, Huth
Kdb, Ozil, Mahrez, Alli, Stanislas
Aguero, Kane, Lukaku
2 Ft .2 Itb
A) Hennesey -> someone cheap
B) Get Firmino/Payet/Barkley in place of Mahrez/Kdb
C) Wait on Ozil news and decideHennesy to cheap and save the other ft
I would keep Hennesey and look to offload the other keeper, Foster will take over very soon
When's the time to get in charlie austin ?
GW 26 imo
Now?
When he starts scoring.
What to do here ?
Myhill
Bellerin Moreno Walker
Ozil Mahrez Silva Payet
Ighalo Kun Kane
Hennessey Gosling Souare Zouma
1.3m ITB & 1 FT
A) Ighalo & Zouma ➡ Lukaku(c) & Targett/Bennett -4
B) Mahrez ➡ Mirallas
C) Zouma ➡ Jags
D) OtherE) Mahrez ➡ Firmino
Mirallas could be a good punt. Same with Firm.
I would just do A with Targett. Sets you up for the future. I know loads will say Ighalo(NEW) bla bla bla but he's had 3 shots in 3 GWs and WAT have gone to shits.Yes I fully agree. I think A makes sense although Fimino looks tempting
I have exact cash for Mahrez > Firm. Tempting indeed.
but don't have Payet either. Might wait a week.
A looks tempting but not sure about that hit. Probably C, just.
A looks good only if you're sure Lukaku will outdo Ighalo by 4 points this week, both have good fixtures.
If you're set on Mahrez out, I think I'd want to punt on Firmino if the DGW happens before GW27.
2FT
Costa + KDB to Lukaku + Payet?
I have Aguero. This would also free up cash for Ighalo to Kane in forthcoming weeks.yes
What would you do with this lot?
Butland
Walker, Bellerin, Simpson
KDB, Arnautovic, Mahrez, Özil
Lukaku, Aguero, Kane
subs: Hennessey --- Alli, Wollscheid, Ward --- 2 FT, 0.9 ITB
A) KDB & Arnautovic -> Silva & Payet
B) Walker & Arnautovic -> Targett & Payet
C) Arnautovic -> Barkley and save FT
D) Something else
After struggling the entire season I've activated my WC.
What do you think of the following team:
Butland (Boruc)
Koscielny Baines Alderweireld ( Daniels, Targett)
Yaya Toure, Alli, Firmino, Wijnadum, Mahrez
Aguero, Lukaku, Rooney
Still torn between Rooney and Kane.
Any thoughts?Good team. Kane for me
I can see a lot of 8 pointers from your midfield
Acqua around?
Looks like we are out of the tournament.Bloody fecking Williams. !!
Sorry, lads
Btw , you can send me an email now 🙂
What has happened to the 1 premium striker-1 mid priced striker-1 budget striker template? Kane-Lukaku-Aguero is an expensive template.
This season happened.
Wide range of mid-priced midfielders enable this template.
This. Also no decent mid strikers I feel.
Rooney costa lukaku kane aguero giroud.
Pick 3 of those
@Acqua #Dubnation faltering a tad. Will they beat Bulls' rrcord? Not convinced.
Not sure. But they absolutely spanked the Cavs.
Let's see if Lebron bounces back vs CP3 and the ClipsPaul is playing like Rondo for the celtics way back! Quality! Clippers will beat them. What do you think about Jimmy Butler's 53 points? Will get better imo. Insane PG/SG he is.
Clips love to choke though. I doubt they'll beat Lebron and the Cavs.
The backlash is on. Cavs to win IMO.I will do my bestito scorch them for 50 points 😉
They aren't too deep, Barnes and green injuries exposed that..
Even if Bogut gets injured it will be a blow.
It doesn't matter... Curry makes it look Stephertless 😆
Henneseey Elliot
Kosc Dier Evans Willian Ward
Silva Ozil Payet Alli Stanislas
Kane Kun Lukaku
2 FT .5 ITb No idea where to go from here...
Seems like selling Ozil or Lukaku would be an error.
I like Forster and Wolly, but want to wait for fixtures to clear.. Do I eat a FT?All the love for Targett is ipunderstandable. Even if he stops being a regular starter does it really matter when he is 3.7?
It might come the blank Gameweek, when you will likely need every available outfielder.
Question is how likely is he to keep his place?I think the gamble is worrh it mate. He saves you loads of cash. He showed Koeman he's good and he might start him more often - not every game but he will see game time.
For those of us with 2FTs and no idea of using it, might just keep him for budget flexibility next 4-5 weeks and and if he drops out, shift for the blank week for someone with good fixture in the blank GW. It breaks the cardinal eating an FT and creating the need for one down the line but might be worth it as many things change in 4-5 weeks and we get an idea of who we want to shift out from our squad.
Cardinal rule*
*of wasting
He's ditchable on a WC too.
I've been scouring the Souhampton forums. All depends on whether they persist with the system which i think they will.
Irrespective if it means Sanchez + Target or Non Sanchez + 4.0, difference is still worth it.
All right so I have a wee question for you lot.
Kdb to Barkley ? This leaves me enough to do Donkey to Aguero ! BUT .... I can't afford it unless I downgrade Arnie to a cheap 5th mid. So that means 3 transfers and a -4.
Do I do it ? Or do I just wildcardDo it. I did 3 transfers for -4 just recently.
Similar situation. But I have Ighalo and 1FT. Anyone else besides Barkley you could get to do it in 2 trades?
I want Barkley because of everyone's fixtures tbh. I was gonna just wildcard but now I think I will just take the hit and keep the wildcard for a rainy day
Hi all...1FT and 1.1m in the bank...any transfer stick out?
Courtois
Alderweireld - Fuchs - Daniels
Payet - Ozil - KDB - Mahrez
Lukaku - Aguero - Kane
BENCH: McCarthy, Ward, Fletcher, S. TaylorSave.
How do we combine BB and WC to maximize points in a huge DGW?
WC to get 14 DGW'ers a week before? But tough time getting points before and after the DGW? Please help.The general consensus is to WC one week before and then play BB the week after.
If you know of the DGW's a bit in advance you might load up on DGW players through normal transfers and then ship them on WC after you've played BB.Thanks! But will the BB be useful if we can't get more than 11 DGW'ers? Very difficult to get more than 11 thru normal transfers.
A few hits before the big dgw and BB. Maybe WC after the dgw to fix the mess.
Aguero stats this season:
8 home games: 9 goals 1 assists
7 away games (1 sub): 1 goals 1 assists
Better hope City improve their away form.Lukaku (c)!!!!
This
Kun has been unlucky with peno decisions in away games. He prospered in away games last year.
dont forget bout WH the giant killer too
8 years, 3 months agoLeicester are clearly regressing (chances created are going down). Mahrez isn't on pens. They're not going to score anywhere near as much as they have been. Dropping Mahrez is a no brainer for those without Payet imho.
