Time to roll out our first post-Gameweek delve into the 2017/18 members’ data and assess some of the stand-out performers over the opening round of matches.
Tottenham’s top scorer misses chances aplenty as the transfers-out pick up pace. Man City’s front two and Liverpool’s summer signing from Roma arrive for analysis, while Chelsea and Palace’s left wing-backs also make the cut thanks to forward-thinking performances.
I'm trying to decide between B and C
Ramsey is not tempting me too much. Im keen on Eriksen, he looked great and fires a lot of shots, RLC should be nailed, but not to keen on -4. Hmmm.. difficult
See hot topics. Lots of discussion on this.
I went for Redmond in the end.
Ramsey. Tough fixtures?+
Chelsea, Lpool away, next 4
Pogba or Mhki to replace Zaha?
Mkhi is effectively 8.5 now
yeah i did it last night haha starting to doubt myself and need to be grounded, when is he set to rise
He already has...
oh yeah nice one, so in terms of my squad value and for the future, can i do anything with them price rise values or does my team value just go up thats all?
Every 0.2m rise means that when you sell the player you get 0.1m extra. It can be a good way to squeeze out an extra 0.5m or 1.0m to spend on your squad further into the season...
ohhh right i get it now so it has to be 0.2m rise? and say for example mhki or mounie (players i have) blank this week then do well the following could they get another price rise so quick after the first one?
Yeah, you only get half the difference, rounded down. So, if they go up 0.5 you get 0.2 as it is half of 0.5 rounded down...
A player can go up a maximum of 0.3m in one week. It is determined mainly by transfer activity so players could in theory rise 0.3m every week until they hit 100% ownership
They can keep rising though, theoretically if all 100% were to dump a player in one day he would only drop 0.1m, then the rise can start anew!
Interesting point... We could end up with Xhaka at 16m
yeah i understand now man thanks.
if Lukaku has another brace, would nearly bank money on it he would get another price rise
If he scores a brace again he will be going up at least 0.2m maybe even 0.3m
Having said that he already has massive ownership so maybe it wouldn't be so clear cut
yeah and he is at the stage no where it goes up much slower than say 40-50% for example, hoping he does?
How did you get on last week man?
Very poor... 51pts with a Kane, Jesus, Abraham fail... KDB captain and Hegazi on bench... I feel good for this week though! You?
oh grim enough, i had Kane and KDB aswell nada, 65 not bad but not great aswell, did Zaha and Gabbi > Mhki and Mounie for -4 :///
In the same boat but Pogba for me. Champ. League and national team fixtures is a worry though..
I prefer Pogba but after last MU game not so sure. Most here will say Miki but it's not so obvious to me. Right now it's 50/50 for me but I prefer Pogba pick a bit more.
went for mhki to hell, wait until you see him this weekend do nothing get subbed 60mins
I have gone bold, Lukaku Mikhi & The Pog
I don't know why but I hate Ramsey pick as Zaha replacement. Most here seems to make that move but I don't know what to do.
Can play Mee but Zaha will loose 0.1 by Saturday for sure. Plan was to use 2FT next week like Zaha, Ritchie > Pogba, Atsu or something like this but don't want to make hits after first GW for God's sake!
Have that in mind if one of the ideas was to downgrade Ritchie to Atsu so maybe Zaha > Atsu now (even bench one of Newcastle mids) and upgrade Ritchie next week?
What do you think?
yes hang this week
Zaha drop will be a problem..
Take the hit.
prefer Zaha > Tadic/Redmond/Mooy than taking hits right now
Not rating Ince?
I'm going to absorb the hit, play RLC and bank the transfer. Then if I want to downgrade elsewhere in the squad the 0.1 won't matter. I don't want to take a -4 at this stage in the season and switching to another 7.0 when the field looks so poor is an error, I think.
zaha to tadic sound good?
may be a good pick too
Close between Tadic and Redmond stats wise, I went for the latter, but both decent. Tadic maybe a little riskier as he often flatters to deceive, I may be biased from past experience though.
Or is Ramsey/Ritchie better than both??
So you didn't do Zaha to Mkhi?
Morning lads. I did not take a hit on upgrading Zaha, but i have the masterplan ready.
Zaha -> Cork and 2,5ITB and play a 4-3-3 with Mee coming in from the bench.
Next week:
Wijnaldum -> Alli or Eriksen (Alli will not rise atleast) and play a 3-4-3 with Mee on the bench again.
Team atm:
FoRster (Elliot)
Valencia, Walker, Bertrand, Mee (Löwe)
KDB - Willian - Wijnaldum (Zaha) (Carroll)
Mounie - Lukaku (C) - Lacazette
Sounds good?
similar plan here mate 🙂
Good stuff!
Im on to something similar, really like to catch Eriksen price rise, he just looked to good
Ye well - if Eriksen rises so be it. Then i settle with Alli. Will not take a -4 hit after first week with my squad. I made a strong bench to cover injuries and be able to switch formations.
Good stuff.. Why Cork and not RLC?
This
I can't see a Week i want to play RLC. I might consider playing Cork in one of the home fixtures. And then there is the price rise/fall. If CP gets smashed again this week and the next, then RLC will drop at some point (it's all a guess).
Does not really matter. Just want the most secure 4,5m mid who will not drop over the next many weeks.
A) De Bruyne, Ward-Prowse, Danlio
B) D. Silva, Willian, Kolasinac
Will Danilo start do people reckon?
No can see Sane starting ahead of
him now
Sane was all over the place yesterday
Sane can't defend, and Everton won't just sit back.
Yep, Mendy isn't fit yet. Wasn't in the squad for the reserves.
Hope so.
I'm pretty comfortable with him until the international break. He is safe in 4 at the back formations, slightly less so in a 3, but still ahead of Sane IMO. Definitely from the start, though if they are needing a goal with half an hour left Danilo > Sane seems a likely move.
What u think of going
Kane, Zaha, Alonso to Lacazette, Eriksen, Kolasinac?
Not in one transfer ofc.
That would give me this:
Foster (Elliott)
Stones Daniels Kola Bertrand (Hünemeier)
KDB Eriksen Salah (RLC Caroll)
Lukaku Lacazette Abraham
Looks good
Pg 29
Anybody has link for Mark squad ?
Thanks in advance
370.....I believe
Which transfer looks better?
A) Zaha and Ritchie --> Pogba and Atsu (-4)
B) Zaha and Fraser --> Pogba and RLC (-4).
Foster elliot
B.davies daniels stephens
Kdb zaha* willian redmond
Kane lukaku firmino
Elliot t.carroll fernandez k.long
1FT 0.0ITB
Thoughts on zaha to arnautovic? Or groß and save 1.5?
I would save - Arnie doesn't look 100% yet and was badly off the pace at United
I'd sell, purely due to price drop tonight. But Willian and Redmond are my top 2 picks below his price... Id go Groß, makes things much more flexible for you going forward.
Decided not to take a -4 in upgrading Zaha to Mkhi, gambled on Redmond. Looked the most likely from Southampton. For GW2:
DDG
Danilo, Yoshida, Dann
KDB, Willian, Redmond, Fraser
Kane, Kaku, Firmino
Bench: Elliot; Suttner, Carroll, Long
Undecided on captain, between Kane and Kaku. Suttner may come in for Dann but think Dann is a bigger attacking threat.
Looks good.
hmmm maybe I will do the same..
Stats wise it's close between Tadic and Redmond, but Redmond passed the eye test for me. Looked the most dangerous. Plus I've been fooled by Tadic's stats before...
That strike force is best in the world! Captain Kane and play Suttner over Dann..Can advice me below on my Zaha quandry as I have Mikhi already
Nice. I went for the -4 still.
Little bit of regret this morning
I essentially decided I'm unlikely to get Mkhi on a WC, and it's not worth a -4. I could easily be proven wrong though. Just don't think United will score 4 each week, that was the first time they'd done it under Mou. He is a pragmatist, once they go 2 up, or if they are comfortable at 1 sometimes, I still expect them to back off more often than not.
Brilliant team!
I was 90% I was going to save a transfer after GW1 but Zaha had the audacity to ruin it! Transfers done; line-up question below:
DDG
Monreal / Stephens / Yoshida / Mee
KDB / Salah / Mhki / Fraser
Kane / Lukaku (C)
Bench: Elliot // Abraham / Carroll / Rosenior
Currently opting for the 4-3-3 listed above, but would any of you prefer to play Abraham over Mee, for example?
I do like him & probably made a bit of a boo-boo picking him so early on, but a goal at United will be hard to come by. Agree?
I think a Mee CS (+unlikely but potential attacking return) is a lot likelier than an Abraham goal, so I'd leave the 442
Leave it
Jesus or Kane capitain this weekend? (or a midfielder?)
Kane
But Chelsea lost first gameweek, then needs to win! So Jesus is more comfortable, because he had a plenty of good shots and Everton has already a win.
I'm captaining Harry Kane this week and there's nothing anyone can say to stop me.
Monkey!
How about Pochettino stating he is injured at press conference ?
You make your point well...
- He has a clause in his contract which dictates that he is not allowed to score in August. Something to do with goal bonuses.
- He has been bricked into his house by accident. He won't be able to get out for a fortnight.
-His dog ate his scoring boots
-Spontaneous combustion?
#1 draft pick, kane or lukaku?
Lukaku
Right now it looks like Kaku, but even IMO. Wouldn't like to predict top scorer over the season.
Help needed with selecting one of 4 possible replacements for Zaha
1) Tadic (GW1: 2 Chance Created, 3 Shots) - On Fks, Corners [WHU hud WAT cry]
2) Redmond (GW 1:5 Chance Created, 2 Shots) None [WHU hud WAT cry]
3) Ramsey (GW1: 1 Chance Created, 4 Shots) None [stk liv BOU che]
4) Ritchie (GW1: 1 Chance Created, 0 SHot) On Penos, Fks, Corners [hud WHU swa STK]
Went through all imp stats, saw highlights and found tadic and ramsey most inform but Ramsey gametime and Tadic cutting edge are worries
Thoughts?
Watch the games. (Google: full matches and shows) See who you think looks most dangerous. For me it was Redmond. The stats were too close between him and Tadic, and I'm not gambling on Rambo starting. JWP and Bertrand also took corners, and Yoshida?! Is surprisingly on direct free kicks in central areas.
Think Yosh will continue taking FKs?
ritchie for me, was never going to have many options against spurs and hes got great fixtures. whats your opinion on this? im
not sure whether to keep danilo and swap gabi/zaha for mounie/pogba
or
take -8 hit and get rid of danilo/zaha/gabi and get cedric/mikky/mounie - do i take any hits or just swap zaha for a cheaper option?
I don't know what I can't stand more... 10 RMT's per page or 10 "Who shall I get for Zaha?" posts per page. I thought this incessant posting of exactly the same topic would end once the season started but alas, I was very much wrong... I guarantee if you are about to post about who you should get for Zaha, it is already on this page and the previous one and the one before that...
Can we talk about something else now please?
who should I get for Zaha?
RMT
Zaha (Zaha)
Zaha - Zaha - Zaha - (Zaha) - (Zaha)
Zaha - Zaha - Zaha - Zaha - (Zaha)
Zaha - Zaha - Zaha
Have you thought about bringing in zaha for zaha?
I'm just worried about his price dropping. Set to lose 1.5m if he drops by the weekend. Might have to take a 56pt hit to get them all out...
I'd go for Wilfred Zaha-Peters myself. Bargain at 4.5m.
I put in some stats and fixtures too for better read :p
It's so easy to miss the good posts now as I am constantly just trying to skim over the 15 identical Zaha posts per page...
Haha true. Can you look at my post above and looking at stats and fixtures help decide best pick?
Of all of those I would go with Ramsey, better player in a better team. Game time possible a worry but he should start...
Sigurdsson looks a good signing for the Toffees once their fixtures ease
Yes he does, do you have any plans to get him in? I think 8.5m might just be a bit steep for him with players like Mkhi and Pogba in the cheaper bracket and Salah only 0.5m more.
I also don't know if he will be on pens at Everton with Wayne and Baines there but having said that he is always good for an assist or a goal.
Pick on to play please 🙂
A) Ake
B) Mee
C) RLC
Cheers
Ake for me
Thanks - Currently leaning towards him.
Although I can see Palace scoring against Pool and RLC could be involved.
Also the bookies favor a Burnley CS over a Bournemouth CS.
A
Thanks
Sorry if this has already been asked but who should I get in for Zaha this week?
Cheers
😀
4 strong options
1) Tadic (GW1: 2 Chance Created, 3 Shots) - On Fks, Corners [WHU hud WAT cry]
2) Redmond (GW 1:5 Chance Created, 2 Shots) None [WHU hud WAT cry]
3) Ramsey (GW1: 1 Chance Created, 4 Shots) None [stk liv BOU che]
4) Ritchie (GW1: 1 Chance Created, 0 SHot) On Penos, Fks, Corners [hud WHU swa STK]
If it can help you decide share with me too lol
I think Ince could be a good option too. Tadic would tempt me but had a very painful time with him in my team last year...
Plumapiedra won't be impressed with this... Mkhi if you can.
How good does RLC look and who should be I transfer zaha for?
I preferred him with slightly longer hair but he's still a 9/10 in my book.
Looking at the stats
Willian had 1 shot in 90 mins
Doesn't bode well really?
Watch the game, he was Chelsea's best attacker even when down to 9 men. Alonso also impressive, so was Morata when he came on.
Willian should have had 2 assists, but Morata tried to steal a goal on the line and was ruled offside. Everything went through him.
It reminded me a bit of Chelsea 2 seasons ago, no matter how dire things get for Chelsea Willian always performs.
Cheers, good to know.
Phew
against Spurs who will win? what do you think Kane for captain?
Don't settle on Ramsey, folks. He was a good fantasy asset playing alongside Ozil in a 4141, or wide right, but it's not the same as this double pivot in the 3421 Wenger has adopted.
Yes, against Leicester he looked very attacking. I think that was more to do with the score and Arsenal throwing the kitchen sink at them in search of an equaliser.
I know he's the same price as Zaha but spread your net wider.
https://twitter.com/JamesOlley/status/897726504515272704
Wenger says Mertesacker back, Sanchez not likely to be ready but should be fit to face Liverpool. Mustafi & Coquelin fit.
I'll try to post official longer quotes later.
Good news for Kolasinac 🙂
Indeed. Unleash the LWBeast!
Who should I get in for Louis Saha?
Steed Malbranque?
Stupid question here.
Don't you get the money from the price rise when you sell the player that has risen in price while you had him?
You do but you get 0.1 for each 0.2 that the player rises
i just asked the same question and:
"Every 0.2m rise means that when you sell the player you get 0.1m extra. It can be a good way to squeeze out an extra 0.5m or 1.0m to spend on your squad further into the season..."
Thanks a lot guys!
tricky bench issue - please bench one:
Mooy (NEW)
Jrod (bur)
Dawson (bur)
Mee (WBA)
Dawson
When do we think Zaha will drop?
Kaku or Kane captain this week
Kaku. The chance of him grapping some goals is bigger than with Kane IMO.
Kane might prove me wrong though
a) ince
b) atsu
c) Ritchie
which do you prefer ?
6 years, 8 months agoZaha out for...
A) RLC and Eriksen -4 (Eriksen set to rice)
B) Ramsey (tough fixtures, half fit?)
C) Ince
D)Ritchie/Atsu
