Our first members article of the week takes a delve into the Gameweek 25 data this evening. We assess the improvement from Chelsea and Man United’s lone strikers, analyse the Swansea midfield battle for our attentions and look for reasons behind the downturn in output from West Ham and Watford’s talismen.
Who to get in for Moreno? 2.9m in the bank.
Any def is better
Southampton def
Ivan maybe
I'm going for Cedric
I dont have firmino. Would you buy him (and use 2 ft)?
not now. Blank GW 27.
Yep, thats what i thought last gw. B...ut he may score 15 points again
Forster
Ivanovic | Williams | Daniels
Sanchez | Ozil | Payet | Alli
Aguero | Kane | Austin
Hennessey | King | Cathcart | Simpson
I bought Austin, but now I see the error of my ways.
He might get over his injury and find a starting place soon, but until next week (Austin --> Vardy); I have to hope he can be a super-sub.
G2G?
You holding onto Austin this week, or are you confident that Vardy can breach the ARS defense? I brought in Austin, too - not sure what I was thinking other than there really weren't any slam dunk options last week.
a decent bet that liverpool wont have a blank in gw30 then. that's 1 extra point for moreno owners
Why is he going to get 2 points that week?
Umm he'll get 1 instead of 0...
We can always dream that he will get 2
Okay I think I'm going to punt on a differential striker. Who would you rather get in?
A) Rooney
B) Costa
Rooney
That's what I'm leaning towards United look good going forward (what?) and Rooney has the stats and the form.
A
Hold on...has Antonio played right back or wing back last two games (tonight included)?
Just something billic said and average positions last match. Any hammers fans confirm what the status is?I mean I'm worried he's been shifted from midfield to cover injuries.
Byram ineligible? Presume he played in the cup for Leeds
me too ! what is going on? he played today when moses came in , not sure what happened!!!???
Played right back tonight after Joey O'Brien went off injured, Tomkins was injured and Byram was cup-tied. Byram will be available at the weekend and will probably start at right back unless Tomkins is back. The whole team shape was a shambles against Southampton, Tomkins was playing at right back in that game, although Antonio was sitting quite deep in the first half despite being on the right wing, probably due to Southampton dominating the first half. So to sum it all up Antonio should still be starting on the right wing
(C) Firmino - is it madness?
Who is he up against
Villa away.. Otherwise i'm just gonna play it safe a cap'n Kun
Villa have shown signs of improvement of late
Not that I own him. Was looking to maybe bring him in.
It was inspired last week - why not?
Scared. I captained Kane at the 11th hour last week and it ended up costing me. Dropped down to 165k.
May get hooked after 60 mins to give Sturridge another half-hour
Was pretty sure ... but with his false nine position at threat, I'm not sure now
At the same time, he's a mid so there's more chances for points. I could just go for the super punt and captain Payet. Now that's a steel balls choice.
He is so off the boil, in spite of today's assist. That would be true madness!
Firmino has the best form in the PL playing the false nine - would Klopp really mess with that?
even if i don't (C) him, it's still good to have him in the squad for that match
For sure...
villa stronger than sunderland so trickier this gw
I captained him his last and it didn't feel like madness, just carried my balls around in a wheel barrow last weekend
The more I think about it, the more I realise that if I maticulously plan for GW30 to get as many players with a game as possible, I will almost certainly have to Wildcard in GW31. My preference would be to Wildcard in 33/36.
Hmmmmm
Liverpool lost. What does this mean for GW30?
If Man City beat Chelsea we have a game
for Chelsea
and vice versa
City or Chelsea blank if no draw in FA Cup.
So if they draw in the 5th Round do we still get a game in GW30 for the loser?
Replay won't get played in time it seems. Replay would happen in GW30 instead.
Wow
We really need a winner from that game then
I think Chelsea will win this game at the bridge
Thanks guys.
Don't mention it
What's the situation with Stanislas?
Do we think he is going to get his starting place back or struggle?BOU was deemed to have played much better after his entrance on Sunday... I may have him in my 11 next week.
I think he'll get back in (probably this week).......just easing him back
Moreno to Borthwick-Jackson....what did I just do
You went Moreno to Borthwick-Jackson
Thanks just needed to hear it back
I think you've cracked the code, Holmes!
It's really not that bad, good money spinner and assume you only have him to hold third spot on your bench?
If he scores 1 point he's no worse than Moreno has been.
Very good point
if I had frees galore, I'd have done the same.
Oh no. I can't even find solace this evening with my blankie and my old tapes of Barnes, Beardsley and Aldo
🙁

'Premature ejection' always a killer in the 80's!
🙂
Advise please;
Schmeichel
Azpi, Dann, Moreno
Payet, Ozil, Mahrez, Firmino
Aguero, Kane, Lukaku
Subs; McCarthy, Dawson, Smith, Westwood
0m in bank 2 FT
I'm thinking Westwood to Lingard then go AOA.
Use 2 FT to sort out blanks next week ?Dawson -> Cedric, save the other for further blank/ DGW news.
Sounds good to me
so Costa (c) in for Kun?
I answered your last post
haha nah
Would you play AOA chip if you still had it?
Toby (mci) Bellerin (LEI) Dann (WAT) in defence.
Mahrez Ozil Alli Payet Firmino
Kun Kane Vardy
CheersDefinitely would if I was in your position, Tough fixtures for Toby and Bellerin and with Palace out of sorts at the moment. I would probably go AOA with Dann and Toby at the back, although I don't see any of those guys getting clean sheets
Sturridge looked sharp tonight. If only he could stay fit!
He looked a bit disinterested
Anyone watch the game tonight? How did Andy Carroll look?
Tall
You know when something shouldn't make you laugh as much as it did - your post.
🙂
Like Red Rum
Very active but lacking in decent service.
Carroll was looking good before his last injury but has been terrible since he has come back. No hope of a start with Valencia in good form and Emenike just signed as well as Sakho nearing a return from injury
How's this for a WC team?
Forster -- Lloris
Fuchs -- VvD -- Azpi -- Bellerin -- Daniels
Ozil -- Mahrez -- Arnie -- Alli -- Siggy
Kun -- Costa -- Vardy
0.0 itb
Current lot:
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/3556943/event-history/25/I like it apart from Costa. I'd go for Rooney.
I don't like the gk combo and the defence is too expensive
Have you clicked confirm? Monster DGW coming. WC followed by BB...
You gonna WC to get players in for the DGW or to clear up the mess after the party?
Don't ask me, I'm crap.
Either is fine.
I seen you use 'fairy nuff' earlier.
I thought I was the only one 🙂
I'd go Kunless on a wildcardNever go Kunless when Kun is fit.
No Kun-man no cry
I just think you can take a punt on a forward for 2/3 weeks and then get him, no point in owning for a game against the best defence in the league and then a blank
True, but as we know; Kun is Kun 😉 I really see your point though.
Ah, that's a fine point.
Like it a lot.
Would go Antonio instead of Arnie but the rest looks good
So for those without Costa who's your captain this week?
Aguero
Lukaku
Other
?Aguero
Aguerooooo
Kun or Mahrez for me.. It's so up in the air that I'll just go with whoever I think has the highest ceiling / explosiveness and hope I hit.. I considered Ighalo purely on fixture.
I feel perhaps I'm discounting Lukaku too much. But Aguero is Aguero...
I'm going Ivan although I do own Costa
You're a mad man - love it 🙂
Were Chelsea game not on tv I'd prob go kun though. Bit worried Costa will get subbed early with PSG 3 days later
Kane atm
King Kun
Aguero..probably. Maybe Firmino. Maybe Payet...Probably Aguero though.
I think I'm going Lukaku over Aguero.
I am thinking the same but I will probably fold faster than superman on laundry day when the deadline approaches
Talk of folding....Before the Scoutcast was even over I changed it to Lukaku and it's now back on Aguero 😆
Did my question get asked ?
Leicester defenders? Yup
Good stuff I will listen to it tomorrow I'm going to try and go to bed at a respectable hour 🙂
Did they mention whwn the cup draw would be. Saving listening to it until I'm back in work
I believe Mark said he's going to write it shortly - could be up tomorrow.
Cheers
😀
Same here. It's on Aguero atm. I was just talkin tuff🙂
a boring aguero probably. fairly sure spurs will win the match though
Lukaku
Ozil
Lukaku
Pick 2 or 3 from these to play this GW
A, Bellerin
B, Sagna
C, Walker
D, Moreno
E, RichardsMoreno and Bellerz
Moreno and Walker.
It hurts to see that big 25 with Alli,Eriksen and Kane
Just going to get in Mahrez this week for a hit and (C) him! 🙂
So how many weeks into the United job does Mourinho wait before calling Mata in to tell him to clear off?
Can't see united having anything to do with that clown
Really.i think it's a cert.
This, please.
SCOUT PICKS CHALLENGE - GW23 RESULTS
One a day, until we're caught up! For those who didn't see, exams went well 🙂 I've spent the past few days catching up with work and treating my (previously very upset) beautiful girlfriend for lack of attention in the past few weeks...!
***** SCORES ON THE BOARD *****
1st - TL (88pts) [3pts]
2nd - The Red Devil (87pts), Kalmoffit (79pts) [2pts]
3rd - Ameenkw (77pts), SH@KTIMAAN (76pts), FantasyFootballFrog (75pts), Jay_, Hearts of Olofinjana (74pts) [1pt]
with Costa just missing out on 73pts!
The FFS Scout Picks and Differentials scored a fairly low 64 points this gameweek, which means in additional to the top 10% receiving a bonus, we also have;
Costa, Zasa, SPFC, How Now Brown Cow, Barry Woj, Pochecinno and Konig Luther
receiving the bonus points! Unlucky to Dusan Citizen and Scratch (64pts)....! Worth noting Dusan Citizen was also disqualified in the previous round for doubling up with Kolarov and Aguero...killing himself off here isn't he?!
Top 3 haven't changed, but Kalmoffit (13pts) is now dead on their heels! Your top three;
1st - Dusan Citizen (16pts)
2nd - IanP1970 (15pts)
3rd - Balders (14pts)
Until GW24 results tomorrow night...!
Spreadsheet: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oyuz31n7ppeccuu/Scout%20Picks%20Challenge.xlsm?dl=0I'm so bad at this 😀
Thanks fella and congrats on the exams! I only cottoned on to your challenge the last few weeks (entered twice only so far) but will give it a go from the start next season if you run it again 🙂
Looks like I've got 5 players now for GW30 and 6 FT. 🙂
Did Payet have any shots in the game today? Serious question I didn't watch the game
He was non existent for large parts of the game but he did hit the post with a free kick and provided the assist for the winning goal
Hasn't quite looked the same since his return from injury, not as much as a goal threat from open play. But still deadly accurate with his free kicks and likely to get assists from open play as well. If you don't have a west ham midfielder though, Antonio would probably be a better option and would also free up some cash
ahhhhh, so long Moreno, its been a long and frustrating ride
I have ogbonna, payet and Antonio. If only this was an fpl gw game...
which teams is guaranteed to play in gw30?
Stoke, Saints, Leicester, Newc
thanks
Bradford, aldershot, accrington Stanley and Falkirk so far unless I'm mistaken
8 years, 2 months agoIve just been blocked from FPL Price Changes on twitter for telling them it would be best to just tweet about Price Changes rather than anything and everything.
