We delve into the Gameweek 32 Opta data this morning in the first members’ article of the week.
Man City’s in-form front man is amongst a host of candidates under analysis, with a pair of Palace attackers also on our radar ahead of double Gameweek 34. We also assess Spurs’ weekend hero as the transfers-in escalate before taking a look at the downturn in output by Arsenal and Swansea City’s main men.
This seems to fit nicely:
Arsenal v Saints - GW 35/36
All other outstanding fixtures in GW37
so arsenal could have 2 doubles in a row?
I hope so, would TC Sanchez in 36 but not in 35...
Bottomed
Any extra moves needed here?
2.3 ITB
0 FT
Heaton, Valdes
Yoshi, Valencia, Cahill, Bavies, Baines
Obiang, Son, Alli, Zaha, Siggy
Luk, Kun, Origi
Maybe Siggy out? Or give him another chance?
Cheers
Siggy to who is the question?
Keep him for Watford game then get rid for hazard
Like that idea
Give Siggy a chance this GW
mind helping me below?
Son -4 or Davies -8 to accommodate kane?
Son
Give it another week. Son just scored 19 points. Janssen was the fall guy for Kane, too. Poch surely can't drop Son!
why not wait another week?
Who are you shipping out for Kane anyways?
Hold
Gtg?
Hennessey
Valencia Baines Walker
Hazard Ericson Zaha King
Aguero Kane Kaku
Jaku, Carroll, Olsson, Maguire
GTG, captain?
Kane. Brought him in for a hit so hoping he repays me,
All or nothing at this stage. Chasing 50 point gap in main cash league.
g2g, capt is.... Kane?
As per above! 😉 Who would you guys be picking? Kaku?
Yep. I'm not bringing Kane in because I have triple Spurs already, so I'm going Eriksen (c) I think hoping he accounts for Kane in terms of assists and also exploiting the space Kane creates... great record at home with Kane in the team!
A. Play Pickford (WHU) or Jakupovic (stk)
B. Play Valencia (che) or King (tot)
C. Captain Kane (BOU) or Lukaku (BUR)
A Pickford
B Coin Toss, maybe start Valencia with King 1st on bench in case of now show
C both great picks playing for the golden boot, I'd go Kaku
mind helping me below?
Play jaku king lukaku
I'm a dope. I let Gibson rise this wk and now I'm 0.1 short !!
Grant to Valdes only option iv left now. Gives me 4 dgw players. Should I?? It's either that or barragan for Mawson instead of Gibson.
I'd do grant to Valdes
Barragan decent I think, because you never wana be doing a goalkeeper transfer. What about Hennessey instead of Valdes? has an OK 35 as well (BUR) and is cheap at 4.3, so you don't feel too bad about leaving him there. Fairly decent 37 fixture as well (HULL) if you wana leave him for the BB.
Yeah just looked at that.
Not a bad idea.
It will be for free nxt wk ,have all the other dgws I want and did Vardy to Kane this gw.
Yeah I have him, I reckon he's a good option to just sit there til EoS - if you have a wildcard handy (I used mine last weekend) maybe get Valdes in for the short term.
Good FT.
Good advice.
Think anyrhing more than 1 Middlesbrough may be overkill.
Gibson only attractive feature is the one DGW and that could go belly up.
Hennessey has a plum 33 & 35 fixture not including his 34 DGW.
I have all but ruled out any Middlesbrough defender.
Sahko Ward offer more potential but for sahko being fixtute tied against Liverpool which could effect all cry pal defence for that DGW.
Only other options is Man Utd and those are mote expensive and roatation risks.
Winging it maybe the way to go for GW34 but Hennessey a good shout for sure and get him in for this weekend should that be your plan.
I have Valdes... tempted by Hennessey
Which is better for this team? 1FT, 1.7 itb
REPOST
Pickford (Mignolet)
Alonso Davies Holebas (Valencia, Amat)
Sanchez Tadic King Alli (DeRoon)
Aguero Origi Lukaku
A- Save FT and do Aguero + Mignolet + Origi > Ibra + Valdes + Negredo/Benteke
B- Origi > Benteke
C- other transfer?
A
A is very good I reckon as a -4.
However, Tekkers has what will probably be a heavily rotated Leicester at home... and decent stats... maybe I'd do B and play more aggressively, especially at this stage of the season, if I were you.
Yeah am convinced by B also for this week, then do Aguero + Mignolet > Ibra + valdes either way
I'd definitely do that route as well mate - good luck
Why not to B) now and then the other two elements of A) for a -4 next week?
yeah I think am doing this
Thanks mate
B Keep Kun Imo
Then how to get Ibra?
Kane or Lukaku is a tough decision this week!!!
Thoughts?
Both for me.
Sorry I meant Captain?
I have both
Lukaku
Yea you can't captain both!
See my post above. I'm going Kane.
Both
Drop Sanchez or Kun for Kane?
I'm leaning towards dropping Sanchez now...
Sanchez for sure.
I'd say Sanchez aswell
Sanchez
RP.
GW 33 Aguero > Kane done!
GW 34 options are (still have WC so Alonso would be back in GW36):
A) Alonso, Origi > Barragan, Ibra -4
B) Alonso, Siggy, Origi > Valencia, Zaha, Ibra -8
C) Evans, Siggy, Origi > 4.0 (5th def), Zaha, Ibra -8
Cheers!
A
Pickford
Alonso Davies Pieters
Sanchez Alli Eriksen Sigurdsson
Aguero Lukaku Origi
(Heaton Valencia TCarroll ASmith)
1 FT 0.1 ITB
Chewing over some (K)options....thoughts appreciated.
A. Aguero Davies > (K)ane Gibson/6.3 (-4)
B. Origi Sanchez Davies > Kane Zaha Gibson/5.5 (-8)
B but keep it to -4?
But Alexis could bounce back vs Boro....
Do you need to do Davies out? Don't get that part of B!
Oh got it - erm, I'd do Zaha for Siggy actually bro.
Rage transferred Alexis and Gabbi to Zaha and Kane for hits.
Now regretting moving Alexis out.
Hmm, I think you're sorted til the DGW is announced for us mate, you can just get him back in - we've hardly got the best run in. I think Zaha and Kane is more than decent as a pair to own with the current fixture list. Dw, it's a good move!
Alexis was unlucky not to bag some points in Arsenal's 3-0 demolition of West Ham.
I'm holding at least for another week.
I can get this team with WC
Worth it ?
Pickord Jaku
Rojo Davies Yoshida Stephens Pennington
Hazard Alli Zaha Sanchez King
Ibrahmovic Kane Lukaku
Have fun benching one of that attack each week (first world problems)
Haha
Downgrade King and upgrade Stephens or Yoshi to a Boro mid so you have your assets on the pitch, not on the bench. Jaku to Hennessey, too, for DGWer in 34.
Cheers
Is is possible that both Son & Kane could play? I'm looking using 2FT
Sanchez & Llorente > Son & Ibra
Otherwise I could try and drop in a United/Palace mid for the DGW..
I'd expect Son to start this week. But he is and will remain a rotation risk (as he has been all season). One big (FPL) return won't change that
I think Son will start. I'd use 1 FT this week elsewhere and have 2FT to use before the DGW. Can you do Llorente out for Tekkers maybe?
Took your advise with Benteke- cheers!!
Nice one mate 🙂
Heaton/Valdes
Gobson-Valencia-Alonso (Holebas-Yoshida)
Sanchez-Son-Ali-Redmond (T Carrroll)
Carroll-Kaku-Ibra.
1ft 0.2 itb
Leaning towards keeping Sanchez but a forward line of Kaku-Ibra-Kane is very appealing.
Soooo What transfer to make. Any suggestions appreciated
A) Redmond >Zaha
B) Heaton > Pickford. Freeing up 0.9
C) Sanchez + Carroll > Zaha + Kane -4
D) Save
5) A N Other
A) Carroll to Ibra -4? Save transfer next week
B) Carroll + Davies to Ibra + Fabio next week -4
GTG?
Pickford
Valencia Davies Holegate
Sanchez Alli Coutinho Sane
Zlatan Kane(vc) Lukaku(c)
Yes that's a good front 3
Loving the fact people are selling Sanchez Lukaku and Ibra.
Just assures the fact I am one step ahead of 99% of people on here.
Who are selling Lukaku and Ibra? 😮
What's your rank?
+42 🙂
40k. Terrible season.
feels like 1% of people on here are probably ranked inside you...
Sanchez is a tough one - currently a lot of cash tied up in an asset providing limited returns. I'm keeping, but don't consider myself "one step ahead". Bold statement
What do you seek to accomplish with a comment like that? Of course you are one smart manager in a world of idiots! You're the expert and you can predict the future! All hail the mighty Chapelle!
Chappie working out his transfers
http://cdn-static.denofgeek.com/sites/denofgeek/files/styles/main_wide/public/5/38//chappie-poster.jpg?itok=Tw_a0xLO
Bet you don't own all 3.
Quick poll!
Best long term option of this lot
Ward (not gteat fixtures)
Bailly (rotation risk)
Holgate (everton defense??)
Gibson (only DGW34 attracts)
Do you guys rhink that Cry Pal will struggle away to Liverpool without Sahko. Something that may have to be factored in meaning DGW potential significantly reduced.
Appreciate any feedback.
bailly
Need a keeper money no option who shall I bring in ?
Valdes
Hennessey a very decent alternative with better fixtures 33 & 35.
The DGW is all Valdes has in hos favour.
Best move here lads?
A) Brunt -> 5.1m
B) Son & Ibra -> Zaha & Kane (Lukaku -> Ibra next week)
C) Sanchez, Son & Barnes -> Zaha, Redmond/Townsend & Kane (-4)
Grant
Valencia, Bavies, Brunt
Sanchez, Eriksen, Firmino, Son, King
Ibra, Lukaku
Jaku, Barnes, Stones, Robertson
Bank 0.0m, 2FT, no WC
A
A to Gibson
Who are the teams that will have DGWs before the end of the season?
The ones who haven't yet played 32 games (plus WBA)
I'm all set for doing Sanchez and Llorente to Kane and 7.1. I already have Zaha - who should I get considering I still have a WC. Barkley?
Son?
That would then be 4 Spurs players. Actually see that WHu are playing Sunderland this week so might look at Antonio
Hi, I saw that a lot of people (including FFS PODCAST) are talking about Spurs coverage because so many people already have 1-3 players and Kane is nearing a full return. On the podcast they were discussing how similar their PPG (points per game) are but it struck me that if we are talking about 'coverage' then really what we are interested in is their PPG in the games when these players (Kane, Alli, Eriksen, Son) are all featuring. Also because we're interested in mitigating the risk from not owning Kane, we are specifically interested in what happens when Kane DOES get points. So here are three sets of ppg that tell you exactly that:
To what extent do other fielded attacking options mitigate Kane's pointscoring?
PPG: Home and Away (N9)
Kane: 11.1
Alli: 8.1
Eriksen: 8.1
Son: 6
PPG: Home Only (N5)
Kane: 13.8
Alli: 6
Eriksen: 8.6
Son: 5.2
PPG: Away only (N4)
Kane: 7.75
Alli: 10.75
Eriksen: 8.25
Son: 7
What we see (albeit based on a small sample: N9), is that over the course of the 9 games featuring all 4 players, when Kane notches attacking returns there is no attacking alternative mitigating over 74%. However, when differentiated for H/A we see stark differences. At home coverage is even less effective with Eriksen the most effective mitigator at just 62%. Away from home we see that all three options have been very effective but that Alli comes into his own and comfortably outscores Kane.
Order of preference for GW33: Eriksen, Alli, Son
(N9 is games where Kane registers at least an assist)
Interesting post! Differences at home are stark!
I'm not sure I've ever considering shipping a player who just scored 19 points and has a home banker next, but Son & Ibra -> Zaha & Kane(c) is might tempting! Thoughts on my post above?
Sigh....
Just looking back to the start of the season and my team once the dust had settled on the transfer deadline.
I was aware that Palace had been instructed to play attacking football and went for go.d for a while with that (it worked) and I was more than a little convinced that Lukaku and Bolsie would yield big pts this season (Bolasie would have had plenty of assists by now)
We usually laugh at our early season teams but I bet I was bang on the money with this (GW5) had Palace continued with attacking football and Bolasie not gotten injured.
Courtois
Valencia Mcauley Walker
Sanchez Bolasie Zaha Hazard
Ibra Benteke Lukaku
Baines Amat Capoue
Sadly....
Those with Aguero, what's the plan?
Want to sell for Kane but something is stopping me...have a bad feeling about it. What are others doing?
Keeping, why sell someone who is scoring in a attacking team?
I generally like to keep players that get me points on a regular basis
apologise for being facetious, but theres an epidemic on here at the moment of wanting to get rid of hight scoring players for other players who they think will get high scores to. for example people saying , without question, eriksen and son have to go.
its barmy
Aguero has scored in 4 games in a row, ridiculous to sell
Exactly the same feeling whoa !
Something is stopping me..!
And i only just got him in 🙁
Gave me 18 pts
alli (C)
Anyone holding back on Aguero -> Kane? I'm very wary about selling an in form Aguero, we all know the damage he can do!
he doesnt seem as explosive Im more worried about Kane getting a haul
Hear you. Just feel wrong to sell. I am holding waiting on DGW news.
Spurs fixtures after this weekend are not the best either.
So hoping Alli will cover me till then. Fingers crossed
They're here!!!!
Arsenal and Soton DGW36 Confirmed
https://www.premierleague.com/news/368656
7 years, 27 days agoAny idea when all these extra fixtures are actually going to land? The season's going to be over soon and 2 clubs have 2 fixtures still to be scheduled. Crazy - and really annoying for planning my glorious comeback run-in.
Currently focusing on Man Utd, Palace and M'boro for next week, although it does present a slight problem this week, with only palace having a reasonable fixture. I'll probably drop Costa for Benteke this week, although having been burned by his woeful form earlier in the season, I can't quite bring myself to do it...
