After delving into the Defensive data over the last four matches earlier this week, we turn our attentions to the centre of the park. With double Gameweek shopping in mind, we compare some of the West Ham, Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle midfielders, before casting an eye over the upturn in form from Leicester’s talismanic wide man.
Cech, Robles
Samlling, Rojo, Sakho, Clyne, Clichy
Barkley, KDB, Bolasie, Sanchez, Firmino
Aguero, Lukaku, Welbeck
Bank: £ -4.5m
Anyone got some spare change?
No
* copies team, and gives you change 😀
😡
Don't worry I am far too poor to afford that team 🙂
.5 off actually 🙂
Clyne -> Moreno/whoever @ 4.7 and you're G2G. Or Sanchez -> Ozil
Ha, I wouldn't really copy ya, got a good plan already, your SV must be 104.2 if I'm .5 short?
I'm still debating the GW36 WC anyway so might not look anything like this. I'm on 104.4, I've got some stock in Firmino and Aguero.
Yh I'm currently on the 36 too, already got Hennessey and Lukaku in, so Funes and Barkley in for Mahrez and Wolly in 33, gives me 3x EVE plus Henneseey and 11 doublers in 34. Would need a -4 in 35 to bring in Kane(c) though. But just imagine the liberation of hitting that WC button in 36 when everyone else is stuck 🙂
Nice I'm slightly regretting my Barkley -> Wijnaldum move now. Though for a -4 I can get 5 out then 10 out then 11 out for gw35. My only gripe is my gw34 team will be full of compromises
Will give you it if you tell me what ya think of this:
Robles, Elliot
Clichy, Bellerin, Reid, Sakho, Rojo
Sanchez, Payet, Firmino, Mata, Milner
Kun, Welbeck, Lukaku
You have a good front line by the way 🙂That looks decent tbh, I'd probably punt on Bolasie/Barkley in for Mata, I can't help myself with DGWs. Also I'm not a fan of Milner but I can't argue with the rest.
Millers output his last 8 games has been very good. Punt I know but on pens I think. Could get Barkley Bolasie and with extra FT since I might wildcard now get Mata for GW34. Better?
I reckon Bolasie could go big in 33 so Bolasie -> Mata in 34 could be a great move with your floating FT.
FINALLY a person including MATA in the draft! 🙂 Cudos mate! Not alone anymore.
😆
It comes down to Firmino vs Mata for most people.. and GW35 plays a part 😛No one mentioned Mata here 😀 gw 35 doesnt make a huge difference since i will be shipping MATA right after dgw. So, you can take your pick who would you get. It Matas not.
Yes 🙂
Jokes
* copies team, and has Bank: £ -5.4m🙂
Aguero to Martial or Kane ?
Could save you some cash.
I might.. 😉
Options for downgrade imo
GK: Scheichel / Ruddy / Elliot
DEF: Klose / Simpson / Fuchs / Koscielny or Bellerin / Kirchhoff / Reid
MID: Lanzini / Alli / Mahrez / Sissoko / ( BRADY!! 😀 )
FOR: Martial / Mitrovic / Wickham(?) / Deeney*boilk* I might throw 😉
😀 😀
Sanchez + Smalling + Cech
out for
Ozil + Koscielny + DDG
and how much more do you need to save? 😛tons, maybe I should just jump on a pole and do Aguero -> Mitrovic.
If only the best team in the league had a few cheap players...... 😉
I know right, I hate Arsenal players being so expensive!
Oh you 😉
I'm really surprised more are not going kun less. Makes bringing kane back in a lot easier gw35
You've got Man U still in EL instead of Liv on you're DGW Tracker Balders BTW
So... The Arsenal fan, FFS analysis guru says Sanchez over Ozil? I was tempted to go this way.
Do you consider that a punt, or common sense based on what you're seeing on the pitch lately?
Great side by the way, if only you had 4.5M down the back of the sofa. 🙂I've not owned Ozil all season so I can't really be the voice of authority on Arsenal 😛 I just prefer goalscorers to assisters.
Fair enough.
And quite shocking! 😐
Barkley -> Lennon can save u 1.5 bucks.
In form + fresh legs (isn't playing friendlies).
So Xavi has started the tapping up of Mahrez of already, tut tut
It sounds like some reporter just asked him randomly if Mahrez could play for Barca . He could hardly say no he is a sh*te one season wonder
How many Crystal Palace players are we getting next week?
One. Dann (nap).
I think 1 would be typical.
REPOST
Current Team: 2FTs, 2.5 itb
Butland Schmeicel
Toby Bellerin Williams VVD Saylor
Mahrez Alli Payet Arnie Siggy
Kane Vardy Aguero
Which is better for just GW32? WCing 33
A- Siggy + VVD > Sanchez + max 4.6 def
B- Siggy + Williams > Ozil + Ogbonna/Reid
C- other transfer?Repost
Any love for John Terry ?
- Last season in the PL for him
- Chelsea would want to finish higher
- DGW approaching
- good GW35 fixture when many teams blank
- attacking potential ( the last few games he played he tried getting into CF positions in the dying minutes)
Has there ever been any love for John Terry?
Not from the East End .
Just Ivanovic I think is worth it IMO.
thanks !
How rotation prone/ safe is this back line for the next few weeks?
Bellerin, Rojo, Sakho, Evans, Janmaat
considering you have 2 injury prone players in rojo and evans not very safe
Do you think they could at least last until end of gw34?
yep i'm sure they will but it's risky during the dgw. They could start both but there just is no certainty in my view
Could easily get 10 DGW games from that lot. But I'd pick Dawson ahead of Evans - well actually I wouldn't touch WBA.
Just a little heads up for those who may not have noticed. Flanagan is not in the Europa league squad so Moreno owners can expect a lot of rotation around gw's 32-35.
Clyne owners too? Is Sahko the only nailed on Liv defender?
I'd expect it to be Clyne + Moreno in Europa and Clyne + Flanagan in BPL..
or milner and flanagan perhaps like in a previous game?
perhaps indeed 🙂
do you think cb's may get rotated 1 game due to the europa league? skrtel is back and whilst he is terrible he would want to protect lovren/sakho maybe?
Yup I think so.
Not touching Liverpool's defence myself, but if I was to, I'd go Migs/Clyne.With the ammount of games in such a short space of time you'd have to wonder if only Mignolet is safe.
Nah milner was just covering due to injury.
I'm not sure KoL, can Clyne play both sides? Sahko seems the safest probably.
Hi
What are peoples thoughts on a TC Lukaku GW33? I'd need to WC early for it. Think Payet GW37 would be better?I'm considering it.
Could be very nice
Those are the two options for me....I currently have 2fts which is swaying me more towards the Payet option
You who intended WCGW36 do the DGW33 changed your plans or do you stick to the plan?
I have seen a lot of WC teams with Reid in them. Is he nailed on?
Yep
But are West Ham worth it defensively?
Well, considering our dgwks, I think Reid is for the price.
I was thinking of Cresswell if I was going to go any wham def. He has that threat which makes him the only one worth looking at apart from adrian
This
Not with Payet.
I traded Daniels for Coleman in a draft league. A good move?
Decent
Yes on number of games alone
Yup.
Cheers guys. Just a bit of reaffirmation needed.
Morning chaps.
General concensus WC this GW then?
Casuals head gonna be spinning..casuals likely to not even care, they will just make transfers and it will somehow work out
WC GW33 take 3!!! Your thoughts guys, would appreciate them very much.
De Gea - Elliot
Bellerin - Rojo - Coleman - Simpson - Clichy
Ozil - Firmino - Mahrez - Payet - Iwobi
Lukaku - Kane - Aguero
Iwobi wont get enough minutes, Lingard or Lanzini as your cheap mid instead? Coleman too expensive and slim cs chances in GW34. Rather Liverpool defense?
Yup had Lingard instead of Iwobi before. Had Clyne instead of Coleman before DGW33 announcement. 🙂
Good catch. Still deciding, thanks. 😉
Drop aguero
Keeping Aguero for now, thanks.
Amazing fantastic!
Thanks mate. 😉
Are you going to be? If not then it's not too bad but if you are then you need to drop lei and spurs players imo
OK, how does this look please. WC GW32 :-
Cech, DDG
Rojo, Bellerin, Sakho, Clyne, Funes Mori
Ozil, KDB, Firmino, Shelvey, Lennon
Aguero, Lukaku, Mitrovic
No changes until GW35 with 1 transfer needed, then go heavy on Wat for GW36-38
Thoughts positive and negative please 🙂looks good
How about all those that will WC in GW33 agree to activate the WC towards the end of the week. That way it will drive up the prices of the players we have bought. ...... won't it? Slightly underhand trick though!
WC dosent effect price changes I believe
They do if you take hits and then WC only after the price change deadlines.
Now that's sneaky
Me likey
It doesnt. BUT! You can make -24 worth of transfers, DONT press WC until price raises have occured. Press WC in the morning, voila. Your transfers affected the price rise!
For gw33 and gw34 which would you prefer?
A) Aguero, Alli, Flanagan
B) Kane, Coutinho, Funes MoriIs there a template WC draft for lazy people?
Yeah, the one above with Shelvey & Mitrovic...
Lol 🙂
Everywhere, if you scroll few pages 🙂
Silva (bou) or Siggy (stk) for Oscar? Which one should I ship out?
Fabregas was bang at it last game. Fancy him over all other Chelsea options at the mo.
Silva outThanks Disable 🙂
I am WCing now, any advise before I pull the trigger?
Mignolet l Robles
Bellerin l Jags l Rojo l Ward l Clyne
Sanchez l Marhez l Payet l Coutinho l Sissoko
Aguero l Lukaku l Welbeck
0.5 ITB
I will have 4 DGW player for GW33 and 14 for DGW34
Would you rather have
Would you rather have
a) Coutinho (TOT STO)
b) Antonio (CPL) ; Ozil (whm)
B) also means I can monitor on Coutinho or Firmino with Sturridge around for DGW34
Thoughts on this for wc33 and plan?
* means no gw35
Robles*, Elliott
Clyne, Sakho, Dann*, Janmaat, Bellerin,
Payet* (c), Firmino, Ozil (vc), Bolassie*, Sissoko,
Martial*, Aguero, Lukaku*
2.0 ITB
34: Dann to Smalling
35: Bolassie to Chelsea player, Martial to Defoe (-4)
36: Save
37: Aguero to Costa, Sissoko to Antonio
38: Antonio to Sanchez and captain him
This way I have 5dgwers in 33, 15 dgwers in 34, 11 players in 35, 11 dgwers in 37 and 3 Arsenal to play Villa in the last gameweek.
