Our first members article of the week arrives this afternoon as we take our usual delve into the previous Gameweek’s data.
We start by assessing Olivier Giroud’s impact on the goal threat of Alexis Sanchez, at a time where Chelsea’s midfield big-hitter is failing to impress. Elsewhere, Liverpool’s resurgent Brazilian, Sergio Aguero’s recent barren streak and West Ham’s new-found source of creativity all come under analysis ahead of Gameweek 23.
I still think Rose is the best option, but he's on 8 YCs, so it has to be Walker imo. (Though I have Rose myself)
We said this about Costa!
Walker has clinical assists
Kane missed a sitter off a rose cross Vs WBA in the first two minutes
Walker seems more reliable now , no denying that , with high bonus potential as well.
Was edging to Rose few weeks back but I think Walker has just edged this . Only thing is Walker is the most owned defender in the game where as Rose is a huge differential . It comes down to that .
Welcome All 🙂
Stats confirming the eye test here. Might take a punt in 51
Thinking he could thrive in the formation
77k Timbo.....slowly, slowly.....and yourself?
Pogba to 51 next week for me. Nice that he won't blank in 26 or 28 too.
51?
Sanchez,Kane,Alli,Zlatan.. best captaincy shout ?
Do you have to decide right now? I'd wait for the weekend games to shake out.
Going Alli myself atm
There's no right answer this week. All good options.
Kane/Sanchez.
I know I won't captain Ibra but don't know who I will captain amongst the other three.

For those looking for Who to captain
Just put your options and Click on Pick one and Hope 😀
Lots of unusually small numbers there. Tells the story of the gameweek really.
Yeah the 'big' numbers is bit of a lie this week. I took nothing of interest from that article.
Fake news.....FFS taken over by Trump
Forster
Baines Walker Alonso
Phillips Sanch Cout Eriksen
Ibra Lukaku Defoe
Pickford Holebas Fletcher Amat
1) Holebas -> Brunt and bench someone for him
2) Holebas -> Someone else
3) save FT
Just save
3
3
Thanks all. Thought as much, just in that midweek Ranieri mindset and want to tinker
Am i ok to save FT? Planning on committing to 3-4-3 and downgrading Lallana -> Carroll as i dont seem to be playing him, but may wait a week and re-assess.
Heaton
Alonso Baines Brunt
Sanchez Erikson Phillips Stanislas
Kane Ibra Giroud
Pickford Evans Lallana Amat
You may want to keep Lallana around, as Stanislas' fixtures take a turn for the south after this week, whilst Liverpool have a peachy Hull game in wk24.
Thanks Prokoptas, just realised Liverpool's next fixture, going to wait
Or downgrade Stanislas after this GW and play Lallana vs Hull
Wait 2 weeks
Save.
Anything to change here or gtg??
Heaton
Alonso McAuley Coleman
Sanchez(c) Alli Lallana Phillips
Zlatan Kane Lukaku
Grant Adam Holgate Ake
0ft .3itb.
Cheers all.
Looks good
GTG
Cheers.
Maybe play Holgate ahead of Lallana? Might be overkill though, great team
RMT please. Did Lallana + Origi to Eriksen + Carroll with 2 fress
Heaton
Alonso, Cedric, Evans
Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Phillips
Ibra, Costa, Carroll
*Pickford*, Fletcher, Amat, *Holebas* ...0FT 0.1ITB
A couple of minor concerns: I think Cedric's CS potential might take a hit without VVD in the lineup, and obviously Hazard hasn't been firing of late.
I'd be tempted to move Hazard for Kane/Lukaku eventually and make the 3-4-3 switch. Also, Cedric to Brunt?
But overall pretty good.
Would like to do Cedric to Brunt but 3 WBA already. Really need him to play cos I have no bench cover for this week
6/10
Nice team.
Think Hazard should go next, that way you can upgrade Holebas without getting rid of Cedric, though i agree with Prokoptas that Soton's clean sheet potential is probably gone without VVD.
If you haven't already done the transfers then Hazard + Origi to Erikson + Carroll is better

Zarate signs for Watford
They were playing the system well that he had a suspension to serve and waited till after their coppa Italia tie as it counted! Zarate was once a budget striker at Birmingham. Not as successful at West Ham. Not convinced he will do much
FA Cup game will be his second game in that suspension.
Fitness and Physical nature of the league is a concern but he did well at West ham whenever played.
Heaton Mannone
Alonso Daniels Jones (Chambers Amat)
Sanchez Eriksen Alli Lallana (Fletcher)
Ibra Costa Rondon
1 FT, 1.8 ITB
Anything worth changing Or GTG ?
Good to save the trade this week I think
Save
play pedro or lallana?...
Pedro
Afternoon All
I have the following;
Heaton
Van Dijk, Azpilicueta, McCauly
Alli, Eriksen, Lallana, Philips
Carroll, Iba, Lukaku
Subs:- Jakupovic, Allen, Ake, Nsue.
Now Nsue has gone to Birmingham, I have used my transfer this window for Alli over Hazard. I have £2.2m in the bank.
What would you do? Nsue for Brunt? But then I have two WBA defenders? Maybe Baines?
Might need to sort VvD? And Ake. And Nuse.
But Nuse first correct...get Brunt, yeH...
Thanks.
Think I might feel more comfortable going with Sanchez as captain after this.
Still unsure if I should sell my Hazard bought at 9.8 for Eriksen /Alli. I lack itb to upgrade Lallana into one of them
Sanchez is my captain until end of season, unless injured.....he's on line to beat Lampard best season....
In a similar spot, I think hazard will come good but the extra cash would be great for my defence ...
Latest thoughts on the Triple Troll Donkey Double Up frontline - is it a go?
Lukaku Giroud Carroll?
Lukaku - Giroud - Benteke
They gonna kick some a**
Ass = donkey, correct....
Yeah 😀 😉
😉
Which one isn't a Donkey?
Benteke not fully qualified yet...
RMT PLEASE ?

I'd sort Holebas, how much you got?
2 m
Can you afford Alonso, Azpil, Walker, Rose, Coleman, Brunt? Someone like that?
I'd probably go for that....
gamble with Aguero, really want the home fixture next week and he's a bit of a differential at the moment !
Pogba has failed me but such a nice home fixture, just don't think he's ever bringing a huge haul home.
Yeah I would keep them both for now.....upgrade Holebas or can Diomante become Carroll with the extra 2.0m?
No cant afford but could wait a week and then go Pogba -> Llalana and Diamande -> carol and play 442
Capoue in a 3-5-2 is most definitely not a Y
This
First priority Get Zaha next week, get out Capoue from that 3-5-2
True...
Holgate or Yoshida, who is more nailed?
Probably Yoshida now, with Fonte gone and VvD injured.....
Jag rumoured to be Fontes replacement.
Holgate a banker for me either way. 3 starts 3 cleanies in last 3 hes played.
Gotta like those apples
True....
Yoshida prob more nailed, but I prefer Holgate as i don't fancy the appeal of Yoshida when he won't be partnering Fonte or VVD
I want Lanzini just because no one in here seems to have him.
Its this kind of decision making which leads to me being rubbish 😀
Nobody wanted Antonio two weeks back, heck most were transferring him out, then he pops with theee assists and another one in two games.
If Lanzini gets a goal or assist the next game, that will be three in a row . Expect him to be passed around if that happens .
If I ask A or B and 5 say B I'll go A everytime.
It's this kind of decision making which leads to me being rubbish
Pretty sure you've a decent record tho?
I'd be nowhere in hof. Far too gambly
Seems like a decent shout. Has no blanks, on penalties when Noble is subbed, and takes corner kicks as well with Payet out
Oh what to do with this lot?
Foster
Alonson Azpi Brunt
Sanchez Eriksen Phillips Pedro
Ibra Carrol Aguero
Pickford Can MDawson Amat 0.2ITB
Save FT
Thoughts on Lanzini? He's flourishing atm like a Wild Steelbloom Petal
I am thinking of getting him. Good form, West Ham playing better and no blank weeks
Baines or Coleman???
Does this ever stop....
No. Baines I think.
Walker or Rose?
Baines due to being on pens
How much was Ronaldo in FPL in his 31 goal 2007/08 season?
Think he got upto 14m
thanks - having started from...12m?
Actually can't remember exactly.....someone will know....
Someone always knows.

or Pogba in place of One Phillips so that we don't crowbar the same player 😉
Last Phillips should be Sanchez
Is it a good thing to have all 4?
Sanchez Eriksen Phillips Stanislas here.
I miss having Delly Alley.
cedric out for everton defence now that VVD is out for 3 mths?
Holgate
Funes Mori
Williams
which one of the 3?
Funes Mori for price and certainty of starts
sub cedric or change backup from amat to holgate?
VVD confirmed out?
FM
Any pressing issues with this team?
Foster (Pickford)
Baines Alonso Jones (Lovren, Amat)
Sanchez Alli Phillips Stanislas (Leko)
Aguero Ibra Giroud
Plan is to get in another Spurs player soon, either wing back or Eriksen / Kane, Leko to a playing bench mid, and watch and wait with Kun for few more weeks.
My problems with that team are Kun and Lovren
his next 3 look decent though so may as well wait on Kun. Agree with Lovren, maybe get Bruntinho in for him
Fair enough on kun, though I still wouldn't keep personally
May i have clean sheet predictions for Sunderland-Tottenham and Stoke Everton?
Spurs should get one. That's it out of those imo
spurs, maybe everton
Spurs were all over the gaff on the weekend but I somehow doubt Sunderland will make them look so poor.

United would get on TV even if they were playing schoolboys...
Any BGW/DGW info amongst that Sess?
It's all up in the air at the moment.
Have they ditched Friday nights already?
Ibra vs Kane vs Sanchez
Who to captain. Normally go with Sanchez, but with Giroud in the side, he is scoring less I think....
Sanchez might be scoring less but still scoring incredibly condistently with the odd haul. He's my captain
Stats say it's not hindering him. All great choices. Hard to split them.
I guess Ibra and Kane have a bigger chance of a brace vs Hull and Sunderland.
Football is crazy so you never know!! Looks like its going to be a last minute gut feeling decision
Kane could easily net another couple against Moyes' nobodies. Especially if Lescott starts because he looks bigger than Troy Deeney. At least two stone over.
Thoughts on this:
Heaton / Pickford
Jones / Cedric / Baines / Amat / Friend
Phillips / Sanchez / Eriksen / Alli / Lallana
Ibra / Lukaku / Anichebe
1FT, 1.5 itb
A. Anichebe --> Carrol
B. Lukaku --> Costa (Is this too sideways)
C. Anything else or hold?
how is A possible with 1.5itb
In fact I have 1.9 itb so pretty easily son
7 years, 3 months agoThoughts on Rose vs Walker for the rest of the season? It seems like Rose is a nice differential and he's got some nice attacking numbers, but it seems like Walker just keeps finding ways to bring returns...
