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.
Anyone watching the Liverpool game? How's Firmino playing?
Sensationally good I hear. Coutinho just as good.
Cheers, looking forward to seeing the highlights for a proper look
Where's the highlights on??
They'll be on http://www.footytube.com/ - last round of the EFL were on it anyway
Which one to get?
A) Coutinho
B)Firminho
C) Mane

Sorry B

Whats up with Firmino ?
Liverpool scored 4 against arsenal and he was not involved in any. Scored 3 and again no goal tonight
Think Mane is a better option than him.You don't want him scoring so everyone on wc puts him in. Let him do it right weekend
*at
Yep. This. I want different players for the WC templates.
Scored 4 against Leicester. 2 by him.
2 vs Leicester though. so he does get involved
Firmino just had a shot saved point blank.
Assist tonight.
Mane for me, too. Looks the better pick.
who is more important to have
sanchez or
zlat?For the short-mid term alexis. I aim to have both soon.
Klaven goal Coutinho assist
Coutinho goal Firmino assist
Origi goal Coutinho assistcomplete Coutinho domination 😯
Arsenal 2-0, Perez pen
New penalty taker 😉
Got to bench 2 from..
Holebas Walker baines pieters
Firmino coutinho sterling cazorla capoue
Benteke aguero lukaku
Leaning towards benching pieters although he is only man at home, the last man can't be from defence. my head says capoue but I can't have another week of bench heartache. Please help!Cazorla + Pieters
Thanks guys gonna have to be pieters and cazorla first sub.
Can't bring myself to bench Benteke against Sunderland, they were truly awful against Everton the other week.
(surely capoue can't do it again though! )
Out of that, I would bench Benteke!
(Cue a hat-trick ..... )

I kid you not, a bloke has just walked on to the pitch, in to the dugout and tried to give Arsene Wenger a pie. No word of a lie
Good effort
Lie
No. Pie
What a lovely gesture
Which would you prefer from GW 7:
A) Ibra + Cazorla + 0.4 ITB (currently have)
or
B) Deeney + Sanchez + 1.8 ITB (-4 Hit)B
Cheers
Arsenal have now been awarded 5 penalties in just 7 games across all competitions this season.
Bias for Arsenal.
#CazorlaEssentialWho's gonna take them now though? Cazorla is said to have told pals he's "sick of taking pens"
Wish it would be Penzil.
Alexis wants to match Ronaldo & Messi so I vote for him.
But he should practice a few hours per day first.
Costa on, RLC off.
Costa on.
Booking incoming!
Can we talk wildcard keepers?
Foster seems to be the popular pick but his fixtures are about to take a turn for the terrible.
Jaku and Pickford is another option, but carries the threat of Marshall looming over Jaku.
Perhaps Heaton is a credible alternative, but his fixtures are nothing to write home about either.
Perhaps it's worth shelling out on a premium option. Cech has the fixtures, the team, and 5.5 is attainable.
What do you reckon?Ive gone Pick and Jaku but its not ideal. Neither keeper secure. Mannone not far off returning. Marshall obviously #1 long term
Bad fixtures = save point for Foster
It's either Heaton/Pickford or Jakupovic/Pickford for me.
Lloris or Cech. I have Stelkelnburg though
I'll stick with the cheapies, thanks though.
Certainly eyeing Cech - but might wait a couple of GW's before upgrading GK. But then planned transfers never work.
Heaton and Pickford, cheap and guaranteed save points
Had Heaton from the start and I have Jakupovic pencilled in - Hull have got a ridiculous run of fixtures from GW 8-15.
Don't worry about the fixtures, except as to whether your keepers rotate well if necessary - you'll probably want to keep them till your second wildcard without wasting transfers on them (unless they get injured or dropped).
Just choose 2 of the 4 cheaper ones that you named - they'll probably score as many points as more expensive options.I have Cech & Jakupovic at the moment.
Perez took arsenal peno. Presume carzola is not playing then??
He isn't.
Nah he isn't
Take Antonio on WC?
Or he will be back to defence soon?
What do you think guys?
Costa yellow card is all I'm asking for tonight
He would miss the Arsenal game in that case yeah?
No
No he is on 3 yellows. Needs 2 more
Costa big miss!
Costa miss of the century
🙄
Costa lol
Costa miss 😯
No Costa, why??
No risers tonight?
Jaku
Is Britos a sure starter? Need a 4.4 defender...
Yes, looks that way
Great, thank you 🙂
This is where I am at on a wildcard.
Pickford | Jakupovic
Valencia | Clyne | Smith | Holebas | Amat
Sanchez | Firmino | Sterling | Antonio | Capoue
Aguero | Lukaku | Deeney
The questions are simple:
- Is Pickford/Jakupovic too risky?
- Is Clyne 0.6m better than Lovren, as it would allow me to switch to Foster/Heaton.
- What's the general consensus on Ibrahimovic/Sanchez?
I have the same team but have Lovren, Evans and Babies instead of Valencia, Clyne, Smith.
Yes
No
Sanchez has better fixtures, is playing up front more or less and Arsenal score more goals.Who are you going to bench this weekend?
One problem at a time please!
If Deeney will be benched in general then maybe WC for a cheaper 3rd striker?
RMWCT
Foster Jaku
Baines Dann Lovren Friend Amat
Firmino Antonio Sterking Capoue Barry
Aguero Zlatan LukakuPerez wagon
Sterling + sanchez ?
Kdb + antonio
For this GW.2 goals for Perez tonight. Nice!
Costa looks so sharp this season.
7 years, 7 months agoLovely finish from Divock.
