Next up this Tuesday evening, we delve into the Opta data from Gameweek 5 in the first members’ article of the week. West Ham and Arsenal’s midfields are put under the microscope, while we also turn our attentions to Tottenham’s attack and Eden Hazard’s form as the fixtures turn against Chelsea.
1-3 Dembélé
1-4 Aubameyang
Rodríguez back to regularly being roasted again.
Saved WC....How's this lot looking?
Foster Jaku
Friend Valencia Walker Williams Stones
Sterling Ozil Capoue Firmino Lamela
Aguero Costa Diomande
not bad but that Diomande..
Lamela and diomande have to go, and i don't think Sterling is all that worth it either, rest is good though.
Not sure tbh. I got rid of friend,stones,williams,Valencia, and lamela on WC this wk so don't know where that leaves me!!!
when is the scout cast?
Tonight.
Shaw out for about 3 weeks? Did I read correctly in one of last posts? Any news on that ?
thanks good man
Hate that Firmino is playing in this
Yup. Queue injury
don't worry. will be subbed early.
Due to injury.
Surprised he has started to be honest.
Team for GW6:
Foster Heaton
Alderweireld Shaw McAuley Kingsley Holgate
Zaha Alexis Capoue Fletcher Antonio
Ibrahimovic Kane (c) Lukaku
I'm looking for a possible -8 to
Zaha Alexis Capoue Firmino Antonio
Aguero Deeney Lukaku.
Is it worth it?
not for Zaha and Capoue as your 4th/5th rotation
Considering you're not on WC, you have to take kane out cos of injury and you can bench zaha for antonio. Good move
Firmino and Coutinho link up play >
Talk me out of doing Özil -> Sanchez for a hit, please.
Foster
Baines Valencia Walker
Sterling Mane Antonio Özil Capoue
Kun Kaku
1.9 ITB
Not worth it for a hit right?
Honsetly ozil has not done anything to warrant his 9.5 mil price, looks out of form
That's why it's so tempting. 13 points so far for 9.5 mil...
Okazaki has scored 6 goals for us now since he joined, from memory at least 3 of the 6 were cleared "on the line" (but over the line). Weird scoring record.
Weird reply fail. Don't take the hit though, do it next week.
Cheers weirdo
I'm having the same dilemma. Ozil price to drop soon which makes it a bit tight for me (1.6 ITB).
I ditched Sanchez from WC team (for Ozil) when news hit he'd be on the bench and it's haunted me ever since...and 2 weeks is a lifetime in fantasy football.I guess I'll give him one more chance. Would be annoying if he outscored Sanchez plus a hit. I'm not affected by the price drop nor Sanchez potential rise but if it would have an effect I would transfer him out now. Money talks.
Mixed feelings about Firmino starting. Glad hes fit but c'mon Klopp, any need to risk him tonight?
Needs to keep match sharpness missed the last game so an hour tonight will be good for him
It's not like he's been off for months though.
Nor is a run out tonight going to kill the guy
It could.
This
Well i'm on a WC so i'll get someone else if he croaks it
my thought exactly
probably was not even injured...more of just a rest over the weekend. I know what you mean though...give him a rest here!!!!!
A rest vs Chelsea away?
hmmm, good point...never mind.
*grabs my coat*
Benteke or Deeney?
Deeney, cheaper, better stats and much better fixtures.
cheers. need money to fit kun and thinking about to take a hit for Benteke -> Troy or Heaton -> Pickford
Ighalo
Gouffran 😯
Great strike!
Doing rubbish so far, any help with the WC more than welcomed
I know... Capoue 4th mid but my team value is bad and I want Zlat if possible
WC
Pickford-Jakupovic
Holebas-Baines-McAuley-Francis-Amat
Firmino-Sterling-Sánchez-Capoue-Fletcher
Ibrahimovic-Deeney-AgüeroIbra kun and sanchez is too much for me, apread the money around and keep 2 out of 3
WC draft #14. What do you guys think of this version:
Heaton - Robinson
Walker - Baines - Lovren - Holebas - Amat
Sanchez - Firmino - Sterling - Snodgrass - Capoue
Kun - Lukaku - DeeneyLooks nice
I preferred draft-13.
No Antonio?
Complete template.
Why Robinson?
Thoughts on this defence?
Heaton Pickford
Valencia Stones Lovren Holebas Amat
I know people are getting frustrated by stones but surely the clean sheets are coming
Clean sheet came last week but we still had 1 pointer
he's definitely gone for me.
This
Hmmm worried by chelseas fixtures.
Would u prefer
A. Costa and snodgrass
B. Sterling and deeney
Already have Aguero and capoue (5th sub)
I will give one.more chance.to Hazard so as Chelsea against Arsenal. I reckon Costa will.find the net but may be booked. Arsenal are rubbish against Chelsea. Costa will find opportunities.
On WC. Amat or Kingsley?
Amat - Kingsley has more competition lurking.
Cheers!
Okazaki 2-0.
Okazaki destroying Chelsea
BVB 4-1. Aubameyang!
Okazaki 2-0 lol
WOW, it happened again! 😀
he probably takes his job back hahaha
best mid up to 7.8...rest of team is:
Jaku/Foster
McCauley, Valencia, Friend, Kone, Mee
Sanchez, Capoue, Antonio, Firmino
Deeney, Lukaku, Kun
would also consider downgrading one of the 4.5's in defence to upgrade to 8.2
cheers!Deeney to Okazaki
🙂
Bolasie
Cheers, Kalmoffit.
not sure i'm on the Bolaise bandwagon especially considering I have Lukaku, but decent choice
Are you benching Capoue then?
that would be the plan. concerned if Capoue stops producing, it will be difficult to upgrade considering his price
Get spurs cover. Lamela is the best value imo
cheers, but been there done tthat...took his early points and sold. not guaranteed playing time
What's your current team value? 101.6 any good?
102 is about average.
Mine isn't too great then! Hopefully Sterling, Antonio, Lukaku, KDB and Capoue rise again!
Similar.
102.5 - probably drop to 102.2 after all WC transfers are done.
101.6 is very good.
103. Zlatan will drop. So will lose a bit there
Sure
So whats the deal with Ozil this season? He makes my WC look so much better than it does with Sanchez and his cost.
Slow start. Give him some matches and he'll find the rhytm.
nothing..still early. probably will get out of a funk, just don't know when
I have him and will probably keep him until their fixtures turn south. Will cost me at least one hit to get Alexis though.
Lost set pieces to Cazorla.
What are Shaw owners doing? Thinking of switching him out for a hit got £0.2m itb
Ah thank you TM. Maybe I stick rather than a hit then. Collins will come on if Shaw doesn't play
Sold on WC even before injury. Utd are kak
Okazaki has scored 6 goals for us now since he joined, from memory at least 3 of the 6 were cleared "on the line" (but over the line). Weird scoring record.
I always think you look better when he plays. 70 minutes of tireless effort before he gets hooked off knackered.
We do, I don't expect he will get too many minutes now with Slimani around, but we will see. It's hard not to love him, he runs himself into the ground so hard that he rarely finishes a game, great smile too.
Thought he was key to Vardys success last year. He dragged defenders everywhere.
Is that all? Thought he'd scored way more
*6 last season, clearly my memory/maths is worse than I thought. So that will be 8 total 😀
He doesn't score many, but he works his ass off for the team every time he plays.
not to sound racist, but he does remind me of Ji Sung Park. Quiet man, dynamo on the pitch
Stupid Bournemouth are gonna lose. 🙁
Played btts in Leeds-Blackburn
WC team, feedback plz...
Francis, Holebas, Mcauley, Kingsley, Friend
Firmino, Sanchez, Antonio, Capoue, Fletcher
Ibra, Kun, Lukaku
- worth doing Ibra to Costa and upgrade defence?
- worth doing Firming to Snodgrass and upgrade defence?I don't like your keeper choices
Heaton, Jakupovic 🙂
Got to be my favourite article on this site!
Never read the Pre-amble? 😮
absolutely this
One of the best, sure. But this one is full of raw stats, got to love that.
I dont like it because it makes me want to buy every person mentioned in it
I know, but at least it gives you some underlying stats, otherwise you would want to buy evrybody that had decent points return last GW. Now you can filter out some of them.
Those who transfer Early. Are you not worried about midweek matches causing injury?
Or possibly even in training?
What will happen to your plans if some can't play..
Unfortunately, early transfers are almost a must these days if you want to stay on top of your team's total value.
Early transfer were the only way to afford the players I wanted due to imminent price rises, most good players dont even start in these matches
Risk yes, but this year (at least up until now) TV seems to be important. Imagine what you could do with an extra million?
