Our first members’ article of the week arrives now as we delve into the Opta data from Gameweek 9.
Chelsea’s continued improvement since the move to 3-4-3 comes under analysis after a 4-0 thrashing of Man United.
West Ham, Swansea and Stoke midfielders find their way into our assessment, while City’s weekend goal hero and the form of Sunderland and Palace’s mid-price frontmen are also considered.
I feel its right
A. Hazard & Allen
Or
B. Payet & Moses
Moses good price but isn't he rotation risk as Willian is back?
Snoddy dropping tonight? I have exact money for Kun&Snoddy out for Costa&Coutinho.
he isn't. don't sell Kun! especially before WBA!
Don't think he'll have much joy there tbh. He's out of form. WBA are very tight.
too early to say that imo
Unless he gets dropped by Pep, two games is too soon to be dropping Kun
Snoddy (4th mid) out so:
A) play Evans (4-3-3) / Fletcher vs City save FT
B) get Moses / Zaha / Stanislas / Allen
C) get Bolasie / Redmond for -4
B) Allen/Stanislas/King/success
who?
Would avoid Moses, huge rotation issues. Can you afford shaqiri?
should I replace Costa? why?
no. good player. best in Chelsea atm. almost score 1 or 2 vs MU
What to do with Antonio?
A) Replace for maximum 7.0 (Chadli, Redmond or Shaqiri)
B) Get rid of him (for Sigurdsson/Tadic/Arnautobic) and Defoe (for Austin/Wilson) for a hit
C) Keep another week and do B) for free.
Regretting getting Clyne instead of Lovren for Baines now.. Could have done Antonio>Siggy/Tadic/Arnie for free then.
B
B- siggy + Austin
Would say arnie but if your taking a -4 to put a player on 4YC then you could be shooting yourself in the foot
Which one??
A. Smith + Lallana
Or
B. Cameron + arnie(4yc)
My 3rd defender (smith or Cameron) will rotate with Evans, apparently Bournemouth work really well with West Brom
A dasher, get it done man!!
Thanks, stokes fixtures keep on making me have second thoughts. Then there's Holebas as well I could get along with arnie.
Would you rather have;
a) Sánchez + Walcott + Liverpool midfielder
b) Coutinho + Mané + Arsenal midfielder
Firmino + Coutinho + Walcott
I have Mané, he is going nowhere
b if with Sanchez
otherwise a
B
b)
Dawson goal
Start Capoue or Allen this week?
Allen
Already have Deeney and Holebas
Cash in on Capoue imo, Allen all the way
Choose:
A) Holebas
B) Pieters
Holebas is more of an attacking threat but fixtures don't look good for CS after Hull.
Appreciate your thoughts!
still A
Looking at the same 2 players and thinking holebas. Much more exciting as well!
Same question for me, with smith added in, plus the fact that if I go with smith, I can only go for lallana as 4th mid, but if I go for pieters/Cameron/Holebas, I can get arnie.
I prefer Cameron more over pieters, so I would rule pieters out. Also make sure if you're rotating 3rd/4th def, that fixtures work well e.g. Smith and Evans works really well with Bournemouth and Wets Brom fixtures.
I already have Francis from BOU and Foster from WBA so for me it's Holebas & Pieters/Cameron think I'll go with A as he's more attacking.
Holebas on 4YC aswell dasher. Can't be getting him and arnie, I've got holebas, that's why I went siggy over arnie
I should know this but I am right in saying the red flag increases the transfers out needed for snoddy to go down in price? Should be safe for couple of days?
Yes, as far as I remember, he needs 2x the normal net trades out in order to drop. Keep monitoring I would say.
Play Rose(LEI) or Friend(BOU)?
Rose by a mile
Antonio worth keeping or did he play right back again?
Mitro goal and immidiate YC
Decided to keep Son for one more week. What to do next?
Heaton
Mustafi Pieters Kone*
Sanchez Firmino Son* Allen
Kun Lukaku Costa
Pickford Evans Amat* deRoon
*Need to go in the next few
A. Kone -> Holebas
B. Save
A looks good
Kone to smith if you can. If not then holebas
A, son> siggy, Amat > bmouth or just keep
Worth playing WC?
Team:
Foster Jakupovic/
Holebas Morgan Stones Friend Amat/
Walcott Sanchez Snodgrass Allan Capoue/
Zlatan Kun Lukaku
100% no
I was thinking Kun, Snodgrass, Capoue out for Wilson, Coutinho, Sterling/Mane
My gut says stick with Kun thiugh
Who to bring in for Collins in this backline:
Collins Walker Evans Williams Love
A) Pieters
B) Smith
C) Fuchs (only caveat is that the extra 1 needed may be more helpful elsewhere)
Holebas this week, maybe Williams > smith next week
New post
Need to replace snoddy and fancy chadli but only got 6.4m, would you do:
A - snoddy to de roon (play capoue this week) then next week Capoue to chadli
B - snoddy to shaqiri/stanislas and forget chadli
Forget Chadli - tough fixtures and a lot of work to get him in the team
B with Stanislas
Wish Pep would start Nacho over Aguero.
He'd be a total bargain
Sturridge goal 2 0
Any help with this state of a team:
Cech Pickford
Williams Lovren Walker (Pieters Kingsley)
Sanchez Antonio Sterling Lallana (Fletch)
Aguero Deeney Lukaku
Sanchez + Antonio > hazard + Coutinho/Firmino possible?
Actually quite like your team
Maybe next week but not before sanchez v sunderland
How is this move please peeps
Pickford (Jaku)
Walker Bellerin Smith Jagileka (Love)
Coutinho Sanchez Capoue Walcot (Barry)
Kun Lukaku (Deeney)
Barry + Deeney > suggestions
2 Pool Mids seems reasonable but Redmond, Austin, Wilson look possible
2 FTs and 0 ITB
How is which move?
Hi,
this is my full team:
Madanado,Steelkenburg
Baily, Stones,Walker, Amat, Mculey
Lallana, Sterling, Capuoe,Son, Walcott
Costa, Aguero,Austin
I have 2 FT, I need a replacement for Bailly.I'm thinking of putting shaw or an evertnon defender, what your'll thoughts.
hi there,
a difficult choice i think so i want your opinion
a)antonio>mason
b)antonio>king
thanks
In: Hazard, Francis & Mee
Out: Sterling, Valencia, Jagielka
Yes or No?
For the funds that they take up it's just not worth it in defence, Sterling is fading & Hazard looks to be having a resurgence
7 years, 5 months agoYes if you feel it's right. Personally would have kept him for next 2 gameweeks against everton and stoke.
