Our usual post-Gameweek delve into the Opta members’ data arrives for your Tuesday night perusal now, as we cast an eye over a pair of Belgian frontmen with contrasting recent fortunes and highlight a couple of in-form wingers with Gameweek 28 fixtures to follow.
Elsewhere, we check up on a couple of Spurs attackers in light of the return to 3-4-2-1 before assessing the recent showings of West Brom’s six-goal centre-back.
Why did you put it there? 😕
Can you remove it please? you are famous aroud this parts, pull some strings full brunt's sake.
Help greatly appreciated!

Would you still go for Sterling in my position? (:

Game over man, game over.
Is Snodgrass a decent option after Chelsea at 5.8?
I've had a look at the stats but not seen him play much since moving to West Ham.
I'd say he is a good option, I only watched about 15 minutes against Watford he took a couple of corners and a fk and missed a huge chance. Points are coming for sure.
ok so Lukaku unlikely to score away to a defensively sound Spurs side so what about this:
Lukaku >Aguero (C)
Alli > £5.7M GW28 Starter
Gw28 Kun back to Lukaku
Heaton
Alonso Coleman Valencia Brunt
Mane Eriksen Alli* Siggy
Lukaku* Ibra
Pickford Carroll Maguire Philip
Sounds a solid plan
Compact the team up, looks good seeing you don't have Kane.
What do you mean compact the team TM ,
just think Kun is gonna be the heavy hitter, Sterling and Sane more likely to be rotated because they are wingers.... If Aguero is rested in the cup thenI will go with above,
any suggestions on the 5.7 minfiekder to enable Kun?
He's being fickle.
He's saying delete the blank line between each position.
Oh right ye cheers
Heaton
Alonso Coleman Valencia Brunt
Mane Eriksen Alli* Siggy
Lukaku* Ibra
Pickford Carroll Maguire Philip
Anyone who plays 2 games in the next 2. Spaces = tl:dr as it all looks the same.
That's a nasty situation... but probably the best you can do. An alternative would be just Alli --> Sterling(c) and hope for the best!
Just an observation for anyone looking at a midfield makeweight. Maloney got an hour for Hull at 4.3. This guy could be a gem if he gets that every week.
Well spotted.
I think Tom Carroll is a better cheaper option.
yeah he is best cheapest for 28 without a doubt
Goal and assist in 18 minutes vs Swansea GW2.
dead ball guy and snoddy gone
He was a great option when he was at Wigan... I wonder if he'd get any freekicks....
you would think so. not a lot to lose really as a 5th guy so long as he gets minutes in gw28. he helps me get aguero and sterling without losing ibra or lukaku. as jak says tom carroll also does a job
Watch listed.
27 - Kane to Aguero (Eriksen to Sterling - 4)
28 - Save
29 - Aguero to Kane (Stirling to Eriksen for free)

Thoughts??
Dingo, commented on the last page. Your plan is solid and the direction many are heading. I think it covers risks and sets you up good with the blanks.
Thoughts on these?
A) Kane+Eriksen > Aguero (TC) + Sterling
B) Kane+Hazard > Aguero (TC) + KDB
B is so tasty
B
Looks very good to me. Overall I'm not convinced I'd be transferring Eriksen out on a hit... your defence looks good for GW29 which can be tricky. When do you plan on getting Sanchez back in?
What do you guys prefer? 🙂
Heaton
Alonso / Coleman / McAuley / Brunt
Mane / Alli / Sigurdsson
Costa / Ibra / Lukaku
Pickford / Phillips / Carroll / Amat / 2.9m in the bank...
A) Costa --> Aguero
B) Costa + Alli --> Aguero + Sterling(-4)
C) Costa + Alli + Phillips --> Aguero + Sterling + Arnautovic(-8)
D) Ibra + Alli + Phillips --> Aguero(TC) + Sterling + Sane(-8)
B
i agree
B
B + TC?
Yep definitely an option. It's just I feel forced to play it in D) where as with B) I can be a little more liberal 🙂
B
B & TC Kun
Any reason why you only put the TC chip on option D? Is it because it makes the hit worth it?
Option B.
Lawro
Kane/Lukaku + Phillips to Aguero + Sterling (-4) or
Lukaku + Alli + Phillips to Aguero + Sterling + Sane (-8)
Sorry, that should read:
Kane + Phillips to Aguero + Sterling (-4) or
Kane/Lukaku + Alli + Phillips to Aguero + Sterling + Sane (-8)
Wow the latter looks so tempting... I think I'd have to go for that assuming the Phillips news isn't good!
I put the TC on the last option just to show that I'd gamble everything on City... I can't go D) without going TC on Aguero imo. Not to say I won't TC him anyway 🙂
Sorry, I had a power cut, hence the delayed reply.
Yeah, option 2 looks strong, with risk involved.
Just gotta decide if I do the Kaku to Kun to Kaku move, or just Kane to Kun.
Tonight's discussion on the Scoutcast has pushed my more towards TCing.
D Lawro, risky as heck though...
I don't see selling Ibra as a good option this week - a risk too far.
I'm really magnetised by it... I know it's irrational but it's certainly tempting... probably my only shot at getting anywhere near the top 50 say! 😀
Play safe mate, you don't want Ibra going mental lol
You go Lawro- you only live once!
You are inspiring my original -8 ideas...
Think of all those players (and there aint many), that have pissed away more chips than you.
A well managed use of chips and DGWs will see you climb higher, and I think Ibra gives you that as well. Do you think Sane outscores Ibra by 4 points? And won't you want Ibra back anyway?
B
Thanks for the replies everyone! 😀
After thinking about this a lot for the last few days i've decided this week to get Siggy in and I have no City cover... I think it's the right option. Aguero is NOT going to score more than 2 goals over the DGW and with a blank then in GW28 I just can't see the obsession with getting him in for hits ... There, I said it... Thoughts?
If thats the case then your making the right moves. Big trust to have in Sunderland and Stoke backlines.
Could easily put 2 past both those teams though....
I really doubt it somehow. Fixture pile up (possibly less minutes on pitch), risk of rotation, being played in a slightly different role all make me believe he's not the threat he was before under Pellegrini. Of course I could be wrong but i'm going with my gut
That McCauley profile pic is truly one of a kind, almost shrek esq...
Is Mason likely to rise in price tonight? 99.4 on stats with delta 129 and 102.2 on fix
Damn auto select! * Mawson
Alfie? Looks on.
Any ideas for upcoming GW27 and GW28?
Foster Jaku
Coleman Baines Nyom Chambers Amat
Sterling Mane Alli Siggy Fletcher

Aguero.
Where can I see who's rising on a particular day?
Or falling?
http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/
Over 100 means very likely to rise, below -100 means very likely to drop
http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/

Bear in mind these are estimates only.
Thanks both of you
TC Barnes, VC Kun, 1st sub Ibra? Or too risky? 😛
Ridiculously risky. A warm up injury to Kun and your TC is wasted
Risky any week.
Oh benchwankery as Barnes is banned, I get it LOL 😉
Thoughts on below?
Grant
Alonso PVA McAuley
Eriksen Alli Phillips Mane
Costa Lukaku Ibra
Jaku FMori Hojbjerg Amat
2.3m ITB & 1FT
A) Phillips ➡ Sterling
B) Costa Alli ➡ Sterling Kun -4
C) Costa Alli Philips ➡ Kun Sterling Chadli -8
Eithrt B or C. All depends on Phillips(autosub) vs Chadli -4 and GW28 prospects.
B) looks like a bit of a no brainer to me.
This
Have exact money for Defoe > Kun and Alli > Snodgrass (-4). Do today before Defoe falls and hope that Man City progress? Or hold and do Lukaku > Kun tomorrow?
Rather lose Defoe tbh. Risky with game tonight though.
Hmm. Thinking I'll bite the bullet and sweat it out for the next 24 hours.
Do it. If City lose they will still have 2 good games, including no blank in 28.
Price changes an hour away.
What's your predictions?
Don't care much as no transfers tonight.
FPLStats has been pretty good recently so 2-4 risers and Defoe, Giroud, Francis possibly falling. 50/50 on Phillips falling.
How does this front 8 look for this gw lads?
Sterling hazard siggy zaha Phillips
Kun llorente lukaku
Looks okay, not tempted te Haz>Sane for a 4?
Would be for an 8. Or I could keep Defoe and not get llorente and do hazard to sane instead
Yes but treat every hit as separate, a 4.
Sane ... will Mark get him or not?
TM's bum must be like a chewed orange with all the pressure and mind games 😀
Fark hahaha

Any wisdom please?
A possibly.
No mention of Llorente in the scoutcast.
I'm strongly considering putting him in next week vs Hull. Then he has Bournemouth GW29 and a swap to Gabbiadini GW30 when Soton's fixtures improve.
DGW took over. Gets a mention for the blanks.
I'm losing 0.2 selling value on Phillips and Kun.
Would you do Defoe to Kun tonight ?
How do you lose 0.1 on Kun?
Either way it's a no from me
If you have to, but Kun could feature tonight, he gets crocked and you face issues.
*Defoe
Yep, if City lose they will have no blank in 28, home to stoke.
Has there been any article on the DGW opponents for potential TC candidates like Zlatan, Kane, Kaku, Costa, Alexis? Whether to TC Kun this weekend (assuming they beat Huddersfield) comes down to how tasty the fixtures for the lot above will be. Anyone around here with more info?
Thanks TM. Are u planning to TC Kun this weekend or playing the waiting game?
No plan yet.
Jonty did talk about this on the Scoutcast 'last' night.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fBuLkXS530
Very hard to see it getting better than STO/sun
Im bringing in Aguero this gw. But for who?
A) Lukaku
B) Zlatan
Definitely not Zlatan anyway
Lukaku has two games though, Zlatan 1 in the next two
Zlatan could outscore Kun this week with that fixture/his form
True, has to be Lukaku then, but that will cost me an extra transfer to get him back in 28.
Zlatan was a favourite for the arm band before this DGW (likely) was thrown upon us, don't ditch him this week. Shame to sell Lukaku as you'll want him straight back the week after but him if it has to be one of them.
Seriously considering TCing Kun when I was nowhere near behind the idea when the possibility of City DGW arised. Can easily see it ending in tears. Why does that bum have to be in charge of City... 🙁
Sane 1% ownership.
That decides the Sane vs Sterling debate for me
Sterling then
Yeah, must be a good reason nobody's picking Sane. Sterling it is then.
Exactly 😉
Sterling only 11%
Should reach around 17% if DGW confirmed
Is Mata expected to start this gw?
Don´t go there, not a certain starter..
But if you have him, yes
So I guess Aguero's game time is a worry due to CL and FA cup games, may not be the best TC pick.
How about Sanchez when he has DGW. He'll be out of CL by then too. I'm saving it I think
I'll probably save it but I really think, fixture wise, this gwk won't be matched.
If it was Kun/City of old I wouldn't even have to think about it
That's for sure.
But not on penalties and Pep can't risk an injury to him since Jesus is out. I think he will definitely start both games but can see him taken off early for itchy nachos
If Aguero is rested in the cup replay, 100% TC for me.
That 7 day rest before Monaco and benching him for the MID cup game looks most likely imo.
2nd guessing of course but Aguero TC feels much better than Carroll TC.
Although I TCed Bolasie 😎 who outscored Carroll 12 to 9 😎
I TC Carroll too and still bitter...
Just did Defoe to Aguero. Time for a Huddersfield win.
Would you have missed out by 0.1 otherwise?
If not, absolutely crazy transfer.
Didn't want to loose SV on both him and Phillips.
Too late to be worrying about TV/SV but good luck.
Cheers for wishing me luck, but isn't the worry about TV/SV continue as long as a the second WC is still available ?
No problem if they lose, no blank in 28 then
Yes but Zlatan is the better option in 27 with no DGW for city.
Did you do Zlatan out for Aguero?
No, but it would have been Defoe to Zlatan instead of Kun. Got rid of Zlatan the GW before to get Lukaku.
