It’s time to delve into the Gameweek 8 Opta data now, in our first member’s article of the week. A host of midfielders jostle for our attention, as we check in on Southampton, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Stoke’s top performers.
-
Is the Stoke presser tomorrow?
-
Shocking top of the page comment 🙁
-
-
Currently have Coutinho Firmino and Clyne
I am toying with removing Clyne and adding Lallana, is that mental or worth a go ?
Still not overly convinced on Pools defence but 3 pool mids could prove very fruitful with those fixtures-
Not worth it imo. Restricts your options for other mids
-
I just see goals, goals and more goals at the expense of conceding a few silly goals themselves
It's almost a case of we will score more than you so it doesn't matter type of tactics
-
-
I think you have it right at the moment
-
cheers for the input both
-
Way too much for my taste. I own two and think that's a bit risky.
-
cool cheers
-
-
-
Could someone please explain the bet 365 in play bet ? . Any recommendations on how to do it ?
-
Need £100 in your acc.
I've put the pre match £50 bet on 'UNDER 4.5 2nd half goals' which is very safe.
Then, punt the other £50 on whatever you fancy in play. If that bet loses you get the £50 back as cash. -
If you're going for risk free profit the golden rule is the in-play bet has to be greater than evens
-
And obviously cover the opposite outcome with your other bet
-
-
If you want a literally free bet.
Then do 'Barca & draw' in the prematch bet.
And back City in play.-
I've done City or Barca, and backing draw inplay
-
Over 0.5 safer than under 4.5 second half goals with the line ups :). Draw in play was good value but can't see it
-
-
Thanks lads
-
Krul beat me to it Adam !
-
Also take these offers whenever you can . Doesn't take them too long to stop sending the e mails when they know that you have twigged the way to play it. Make sure that you use the full 50 notes - there's no point messing around with fivers. Demi's approach is bombproof.
-
Thanks a million Slouch 🙂
-
50 on over 0.5 goals pre match
Then 50 on 0-0 in play
Winner winner chicken dinner 🙂

What would you do with this?
1 FT - 1m ITB
Heaton, Pickford
Bellerin, Stones, Kaboul, Evans, Amat
Sanchez, Sterling, Coutinho, Capoue, de Roon
Aguero, Lukaku, Deeney
I was thinking of Sterling ➡ Walcott-
Did the same, I think it's a sensible move, especially if you plan on KDBing in a couple of weeks like I am
-
-
Imagine if City pull off a convincing win today, might mean Aguero is no longer nailed on in any competition
-
Barca are finally at full strength with Messi, Neymar and Suarez back starting for the first time in about a month. With City lacking Kompany, and Kolarov in there, I expect Barca to win convincingly. However, if City can play the Atletico Madrid game, be strong defensively, and and counter quickly (Sterling is critical here), they could pull it off.
-
Don't think City'd defence is sturdy enough to pull that off, we'll see
-
Minor correction. Sergi Roberto is out, and Mascherano is seemingly playing right back. That is unusual, but he is versatile.
-
-
Maybe longer term.
But if they beat Barca and Aguero only has a cameo/doesn't play that nails him for Southampton
-
-
Pick 7 players to start tonight and a captain lads !!
Marcelo ( 5 points ) Pareja ( 5 points ) Hummels Koscielny Savic
Carrasco Robben Ozil
Walcott -
All this speculation about Aguero. Just want Pep to come out and say. "he took a little knock in training and we thought it was best not to risk him from the start tonight"
-
The fact he didn't is pretty damning
-
Given that Iheanacho is also not starting, it does suggest a tactical move. Still, quite a surprise.
-
-
''Aguero's not good enough for City, he'll be gone in January''
-
Haha.
You can be sure we'll get some news from the post-match presser. -
What if it's just a tactical decision. Wouldn't affect fpl then, no team like Barca in the prem
-
The previous weekend already showed Pep is a unreliable with regard to his comments pre-match. Wouldn't take his word for it. 😉
-
What was unreliable about what he said?
-
I meant his comments about only thinking about the next match and seemingly indicating his best team would play against Everton. Only for Kun to be rested.
-
Just realized if he actually meant it and we are seeing it today with Kun missing from the starting lineup, he is no longer first choice??? #jumpingtoconclusions
-
I was trying to draw this conclusion out 😉

UCL dilemmas:
1. Areola or 3 pts
2. Grimaldo or 5 pts
3. Switch (c) from Ronaldo to Lewa?
I'm thinking yes, no, no-
Yes No Yes
-
thanks!
-
-
Areola
No
No-
on this myself. thanks!
-
-
yes, no, yes
-
thanks! 🙂
-
-
-
Who have you got playing in UCL tonight?
Walcott Robben ADM Godin Juanfran to play here.-
Asenal - Ludogorets
Bayern - PSV
Rostov - Atletico
Predictions ??-
2-0
3-1
0-1
-
-
Areola, Lewandowski and Alaba. Grimaldo stays on bench.
-
My 2 DraftKings lineups are:
Moraes, Gibbs, Kurzawa, Moura, Ox, Mertens, Robben, Lewandowski
Sommer, Gibbs, Kurzawa, Griezmann, Ox, Cavani, Hahn, Walcott -
Areola, Luis, Grimaldo, Carrasco, Messi.
Kimmich, bench
-
-
Rested for the weekend. Armband sorted 🙂
-
Aguero has not even emerged to warm up with City's other subs. Something amiss there #MCFC @mirrorfootball

@DiscoMirror 39s40 seconds ago Barcelona, Spain
Aguero has not even emerged to warm up with City's other subs. Something amiss there #MCFC-
what the.....
-
Oh dear....I shouldn't have made my transfers already 😳
-
Uh Oh
-
A) Godda knock and they don't want Barca to know
B) Toys out of pram
[it wanted to correct "pram" to "Prem" OMG IT'S A SIGN!!]
-
-
Stick or twist C: 20 min to go
go Captain w/ Neymar or Suarez MCI, or stick with CRonaldo's 14 pts? -
Aguero is the only one of the seven subs not out warming up. #MCFC
-
Second half to be the highest scoring half @ 1.95 pre match
Draw/Barca HT/FT inplay @4.33
That'll be me -
Asenal - Ludogorets
Bayern - PSV
Rostov - Atletico
Predictions ?? -
Buzzing for the game tonight.
I will be content with a draw. -
talksport reporting a bust up between aguero and guardiola after he returned from international duty and again tonight
-
it is adrian durham though, take it with a pinch of salt
-
Can you imagine if Guardiola does a Joe Hart on Aguero? Would shake up FPL in a pretty major way.
-
-
I wonder if the Spanish La Liga version of fantasy football is popular...
Choosing between Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Neymar, Griezmann, Bale, Benzema etc must be impossible!-
I think no,
Scoring system is different
-
-
Which makes more sense:
A) Sterling, Antonio> KDB, Allen
B) Antonio, Rashford > Lallana, Austin
Thanks -
Kun > Stuani ? -8
-
Wilson or Austin, whichever you don't have
-
-
Aguero is the only one of the seven subs not out warming up. #MCFC
https://twitter.com/StuBrennanMEN/status/788807763019333632 -
Baines > Lovren to fund Payet > KDB next week?
-
Aguero bviously hasn't taken the news well, when told that he will be on the bench. Again.
Could be another Carlos Tevez situation. -
Hi guys, my team
Heaton
Williams, Walker, Holebas
Firmino, Sanchez (c), Walcott, Snodgrass
Austin, Lukaku, Aguero
bench: Pickford, Amat, Capoue, Evans
I have no FT left but I'm considering Snodgrass > Lallana/Siggy for a -4 .. worth it do you think?-
Wait for Aguero news. I'd keep Snodgrass though.
-
Give Snodderific last chance home to Stoke
-
-
Pep interview on BT, says no injury
-
Really?!
Oh my goodness. I cannot actually believe he would drop Kun for this game. EVER
-
-
Anne @Annemcfc9320 7m7 minutes ago
@StuBrennanMEN he didn't warm up Sat either, I think he is carrying a slight knock #imo
#TrustInAnne-
I trust Demi more.

@City_Watch 4s5 seconds ago
Pep tells @btsport that Aguero is benched because he wants more bodies in midfield tonight.-
I'm truly amazed.
-
pheeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....................
-
big statement that
-
doesn't explain why he isn't warming up though
-
-
He looked annoyed at being asked about Aguero
-
Had Aguero and Capoue to KDB and Austin mentally prepared
-
-
Do you think Sterling starts on the weekend? Tempted to sell him
-
Gotta wait for this game to end then it's deep thinking time
-
-
Bolasie to Lallana worth a hit ? Already have Firmino
