Our post-Gameweek members article assessing some of the top performers arrives once again this evening.
With many Fantasy managers now looking to wield Wildcards, we cast an eye over in-form and in-demand attackers and also assess some of the stand-out assets in defence ahead of Friday evening’s deadline.
1) Eriksen & sane (have Kane & alli)
Or
2) Sanchez & albrighton
Alternatives?
Don't see any mid priced midfielders I can potentially swap with ericksen
A) Blind, Sanchez, Sane, Anichebe
B) Yoshida, Ozil, T.Carroll, Costa
(Rest of team:
Willy, Pickford,
Monreal, Alonso, Stephens, Holgate
Alli, Hazard, King
Kane, Jesus)
B
woah.... I'm currently on A, just stressing out about not having Costa... Seems like A is more balanced - i.e. three top 6 players, but B has Costa..
I went for Hazard instead of Costa for my Chelsea coverage!
Hoping it pays off!!
Which Spurs midfielder for my wc team?
Alli
Alli
Eriksen
Eriksen
Alli if you can afford him eriksen when your tighter on budget
Eriksen
I went for Alli
Erik gets more bonus points
A real cause of concern for anyone still holding Swansea attacking assets:
"Ashley Williams: Everton defender will not do Swansea favours - Britton"
Or, to put it another way, former colleague believes that professional will not jeopardise his job by favoritising former over current employer in breaking news shocker.
Honestly, is this what passes for sports journalism these days? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39787525
what would u expect him to say
I would expect him to say exactly what was in this article, in those words, in pretty much exactly that order, including such original footballer insights as:
"He gives everything every time"
"It's a big game for us"
"We all know the quality he's got so it's going to be difficult to beat him, but hopefully on that day we can come out with a win"
"[hopefully I will be able to] give him a little bit of stick"
Swans will win...its never easy to play agst them at Home
if not for King, i would take a punt on Siggy
(British) Sports journalism today seems to have little actual analysis, plays to the gallery and is jingoistic.
This Euro 2016 preview calling for Walcott to lead the line for England as he is would do great was particularly amusing
http://bet.unibet.co.uk/football/premier-league/arsenal-man-walcott-could-be-perfect-centre-forward-england-win-euro-2016
In fairness to the sports journos interviewing the players is a nightmare and that is just the ones with an OK command of English as thier first language.
Jeff Shreves : Happy with the result does the manner of the close win really show what show what Spurs are about this season?
Kane: 'Well obviously at the end of the day'
Then there are the guys with little or no English
Aguero: Happy
Costa: Happy
It is riveting stuff.....
Oh, my, that is a corker too 🙂
Morning all Please RMWCT.
Cech. Pick.
Stephens. Davies. Gabriel. Huth. Yoshi
Sanchez. Haz. Alli. Albrighton. King
Kane. Jesus. Gabbi.
0.9 itb. Where would you spend it!?
Thanks all!
Davies > Verto.
My team exactly haha
Yikes! What you got itb?
What's your rank I'm 329k 🙁
i have the same but with Caballero and Blind over Huth. You could even upgrade Pickford to Cab for the DGW there
Get rid of Davies - too much of a risk. Blind maybe for a start.
Davies still a bit away isn't he?
Cech / Willy
Alonso / Koscielny / Davies / Yoshida / Holgate
Sanchez / Hazard / King / JWP / Carroll
Kane / Costa / Jesus
0.3 ITB
Davies will become someone else for 37 in case Rose is back.
I know spurs mid is missing but I decided to go Costa, not Gabbi. Have good feeling about JWP too.
RMWCT.
Spurs mid essential, Costa isn't
JWP will be rotated
I had jwp went away due to rotation/ fall out with puel.
Was jwp involved in this ?
He was dropped to the bench for the hull game and didn't even feature from the bench in spite of Puel hooking 2 players before the hour...can't know for sure though
The Stephens v Holgate dilemma is my final quandry.
Stephens Holgate
Number of potential games 4 2
Likely to start 3 2
Likely points 3-8 2-8
I have them both in the wildcard at the moment so stephens price increase is not relevant
Both will be on the bench for me this week.
I would have both
I can't have both because my defence and goalkeepers will be
Cech-Cabellero
------------
Monreal-Koscielny-Luiz (Huth - Holgate/Stephens)
Costa or Eriksen till the rest of season?
Have Alli, Kane & Hazard
Costa probably
Thoughts on costa to Jesus this week then bailly to alonso next
really?costa has boro at home and just off the back of a 19point haul
16 *
Save transfer and maybe do it for gw37?
No reason to get rid of Costa this week. great fixture
While Palace have been giant killers this season.
Costa to Jesus sounds risky.
Jakupovic (Grant)
Gabriel / Robertson / Yoshida (Baines / Amat)
Alli / Sanchez / King / Son (Carrick)
Agüero / Kane / Lukaku
0FT / 0.4ITB
1) Was Gibson to Gabriel a decent move?
2) Captain Sanchez?
3) Consider a hit to bring in Costa for Kun or Kaku?
Got bottomed on the last page:
Gabriel Blind Yoshida Stephens Bavies
Is it worth making big changes to that line?
Could get in Huth, or Holgate to free up a few funds
Huth DGW fixtures are tough
He has good single gameweeks on either side though and is always a threat from set pieces
When would you play Huth ? You will only be playing 3 defenders in the single game weeks - who will you bench in DGW36 Gabriel or Soton boys? In GW38 they all have good fixtures and arguably better than Leicester. You might as well just get Holgate and save the cash
Playing him against Watford this week is not the worst idea in the world.
I will have him as first sub in case Luiz is out v Boro
Maybe Davies to one of those two as it seems rose is close to a return
Morning!
Caballero - Pickford
Alonso - Koscielny - Vertonghen - Stephens - Holgate
Hazard - Sanchez - King - ___ - ___
Kane - Jesus - ___
Which trio for the free spots:
A) Alli + Albrighton + Gabbiadini
or
B) Eriksen + Sane - Anichebe
??
Same problem, currently on 1.
A
Choose only for GW 36
1) KDB + Haz (c) + Kane
2) KDB + Haz (TC) + Kane
3) Sanchez (c) + Haz + Kane
4) Sanchez (TC) + Haz + Kane
5) Sanchez + Haz + Kane (TC)
6) Save TC for GW 38
Sanchez + Haz (TC) + Kane
yeah certainly an option too cheers
I have the same dilema, im really swaying with hazard TC...
Which alternative will score the most from now till the end?
a)
36: Gabbiadini (Liv, ARS)
37: Gabbiadini (mid, MAN) + Kingsley (sun)/other 3.9
38: Gabbiandini (STO), Yoshida (STO)
b)
36: Yoshida (Liv, ARS)
37: Vertonghen (MAN, lei), Anichebe (SWA, ars)
38: Vertonghen (hul)/Yoshida (STO) + King (lei)
b also implies Koscielny instead of Monreal all the way
hard to answer but probably B
Yeah I know it's a bit messy
But it's basically whether I go 3-5-2 with Anichebe, affording both Koscielny and Vertonghen at the back or if I go 3-4-3 with Gabbi (AOA this week) but only Monreal and a 3.9 defender
Starting to feel like Gabbi is going to turn out a flop like Negredo was in the DGW... Is he even guaranteed to start?
starting to feeling exactly the same.
Plus, we don't know where Austin is at, but the guy might get some cameo along with Long's cameo too and this means Gabbi time is under threat. The more I see it, the more I am tempted to avoid
Not to give too much away to non-members but, is anyone else surprised by Erikens avg. position here?
cmon, throw a crumb to us filthy non paying proles!
Can't be further up than Alli I guess...
Please tell me it is surprisingly deep? I have just about convinced myself to go Pedro over him in the WC and this would help.
Thanks
I could't say but, I'd be going for Eriksen...I know Pedro scored this week but...
Which would you prefer?
A) Eriksen, Azpi, Gabriel
B) Pedro, Alonso, Kosc
Chelsea fixtures tastier than Spurs too...
Own Sanchez/Hazard/Costa?
Rest of team:
Pickford Willy
Vert Yoshi Stephens X X
Sanchez Haz Sane King X
Kane Jesus Anichebe
Nice team. Eriksen Alonso Gabriel? Slight risk on Gabriel but Wenger has been singing his praises
Thanks, 0.2 short on that unfortunately - that's why I'd need Azpi instead of Alonso - tough!
Damn yea I'd probably go for A then!
Thanks for your help 🙂 I may have found a way around it which would mean SAne > Pedro instead of Eriksen > Pedro, leaving me with:
Pickford Willy
Cahill Monreal Vertonghen Stephens Holgate
Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Pedro King
Kane Jesus Anichebe
What do you reckon??
I think Sane and Pedro are equally at risk of rotation BUT, can you upgrade King to Sane by dowgrading defenders>?
I think King will have to stay so it's a question of Sane or Pedro now haha.
A) Sane Azpi Gabriel Yoshi
B) Pedro Cahill Monreal Holgate
Forgot to mention, probably a key point is whether you're chasing or fending off?
fending off, only 3 points in it!
Anyone think rashford is worth a punt over gabbi!?
Too risky rotation wise right?
Avoiding both
Caballero Cech
Gabriel, Yoshida, Stephens, Holgate, Alonso
Hazard, Sanchez, King, Alli, Albrighton
Kane, Jesus, Gabbi.
Trying to get a secured Arsenal def as well as a Spurs def. Considering between:
A) Gabriel, Yoshida, Gabbi (0.0 itb)
B) Monreal, Davies, Anichebe (0.6 itb)
Trying to get a secured Arsenal def as well as a Spurs def.
- Pretty sure Monreal will play 4/4 of the games, doubt Gabriel will play 4/4.
- Doubt Davies will play 4/4 (Rose coming back), but Vertonghen is too ex.
- Gabbi inconsistent, but you can't get anyone better in that price range with 4 GWs.
- Reckon Anichebe won't do anything.
Thoughts?
It seems you want to go ahead with A
A for me too
Cheers. Will probably stick to that for now!
I would get rid of sanchez get costa in for gabbi and get Koscielny in for Gabriel
Plenty of cheaper options then sanchez available with good single gameweeks like firmino/coutinho or markovic if you are stuck for cash
Problem solved
But now the problem is he has no Sanchez?
I don't see it as a problem, because strengtening the squad elsewhere will protect against Sanchez getting double figures at least, if the arsenal manage a couple of clean sheets
Play one this week
A) Gabbi and Yoshida
B) Sane and Cahill
Gabbi Cahill
Can't do it unless I do Sane to Alb
b then
Cheers
Certainly Jakupovic has a greater chance of a CS than Caballero this GW....
Use next GW's free transfet to make that move, instead of during WC this week??
Nah, just as likely for a clean sheet imo.. I'd rather Caballero now and have the FT next week
Palace have defeated Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea recently though. They seem to turn up for the big games
Waste of a FT that you may need imo..
I wouldn't expect that a Hull clean sheet is guaranteed because Sunderland have been relegated
WC'd last week and it was my worst GW rank of the season! Have used my 1 FT on Benteke -> Jesus...
Is this team G2G?
Caballero
Yoshida* - Monreal* - Alonso
Sanchez (c) * - Ozil* - Hazard - Sane
Jesus - Costa - Gabbi*
Pickford - JWP* - Blind - Holgate
0FT, 0.2 ITB
* = DGW players
Point in play. You got 3 Arsenal players all because they had an extra gameweek than Spurs whereas of you'd gotten 3 Spurs players, it probably wouldn't have been your worst gameweek.
Why no Spurs anyway?
Wanted to get the Arsenal players in now for the back to back doubles, was hoping we could get something at Spurs, Sanchez + Ozil double up a nice differential if it comes off etc etc.. It wasn't to be 😛
Hopefully will improve in the next 2 GWs..!
Okay, final question!
A) Yoshida, Pickford
B) Stephens, Caballero
Would be for second keeper.
B
B
B
is CECH the other keeper?
Yeah, Cech first keeper.
rp
Current XL for this gameweek
Heaton
Davies, Yoshi, Gabriel, Cahill
Alli, Sane, Hazard (c)
Costa, Benteke, Jesus
Willy,- Baines, Zaha, Obiang
Really thinking about play with 5 in the back with Baines and bench Benteke, madness?
Dont fancy a city CS??
No Crystal still got something to play for + they seem to score against big teams lately and City defence still not really proven worthy
Imo naturally
Same what I am thinking
Considering whether to bring in Willy for Jaku on the WC or use the FT next week
Safe imo
Yep, never bench forwards. No wc?
I wish I had one.. Taking hits but they seem to work out just fine
Jesus starts 100%?
Almost guaranteed
100%
1000% if Aguero not fit
almost certainly but one thing i would be concerned about is pep didnt want him to play the full 90 mins at the weekend and he did. he's definitely not fully match fit.
He didnt need 90 minutes to score goals
I think its selling lukaku that could bring pain for many, not whether you own sanchez or not
One away goal in 2017.
Shall I take Blind and Lukaku out for Alonso and Jesus for (-4)?
Most definitely
On WC and BB in 37. Please choose one:
A. Vert + Redmond
B. Huth + Pedro
C. Holgate + Sane (would also need to find 0.1m from somewhere)
Cech, Pickford
Alonso, Monreal, ..., Yoshi, Stephens
Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, ..., King
Kane, Jesus, Anichebe
C
Chasing 30 pts in ML. No WC.
Heaton, Jakupovic
Valencia, Davies, Robertson, Stephens, Wilson
Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, King, Carroll
Kane, Vardy, Jesus
Plan:
GW36: TC Sanchez
GW37: BB (Valencia -> Cahill, Wilson -> Holgate)
Does this seem wise?
Are we actually sure Bravo is out?
Reports of a 1cm term in his calf muscle, expected recovery time of 3weeks. Doubt we'll see him again!! At this stage of the season, he won't be pushing himself to get back challenging for a start, he'll take it easy and enjoy an early summer holiday
7 years, 18 days agoGabriel Blind Yoshida Stephens Bavies
Is it worth making big changes to that line?
Could get in Huth, or Holgate to free up a few funds
