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.
Who do u have?
KDB + Aguero, Salah + Firmino, Mkhi + Lukaku
Nice
Nice. Rest of the team?
Elliot, Speroni
Kolasinac, Yoshi, Stephens, Lowe, 4.0
Carroll, Loftus Cheek
Not bad, I like it. Little risk not having spurs ofc if any of them explode, but they are just a transfer away.
Thinking of downgrading my City attack to either of Jesus or KDB. Worried about rotation. Who do you have?
See above
Better than my Newcastle double attack(temporary).. I want a spurs double with Kane and Son soon
no kane?
No Spurs at all
Doubling isn't an issue for sure, you've picked decent teams for it.
I think I'd prefer to be doubling on Spurs instead of Man City but that's all preference
Think I'll be doing KDB to Eriksen/Alli soon
Feel like Eriksens a must
foster/elliot
danilo/dawson/bertrand
KDB/mane/ward-prowse/zaha/carroll
kane/lukaku/gabbi
who should i swap zaha for? should i get rid of gabi too?
Big risk taking Kane out for a hit.
Tell me about it. But it's a bigger risk pricing myself out of Mkhi and Lukaku I think
Yeah you could be right there Bubz.
A) Lacazette, David Silva, Loftus-Cheek/Carroll rotation
B) De Bruyne, Ramsey, Mounie
which do you think is better?
B probably.. don't love either but both could work.
Well already got Alli, Salah, Morata and Lukaku in my team so had to budget a bit to fit in City and Arsenal unfortunately.
B
Play Hegazi or TAA?
TAA. On corners and free kicks.
but 0% chance of a cleanie
This is why we're nice to the gravless - http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2017/08/15/the-big-numbers-gameweek-1-6/?hc_page=2#hc_comment_16205602
Great post
Is it donate to the gravless day today?
Yep great post about a great side
lol not quite great enough in their prime, now on the decline...
Excellent post. Thanks. 🙂
he wasn't gravless when he posted it
not that it matters
I can see the player I sub this week getting the most points, options are:
Yoshida Stephens TAA
Willian Ramsey Ritchie
Thinking probably Ritchie again but could derisk the saints double up by benching stephens? Thoughts?
Ritchie in for Zaha?
Could do worse
Some much needed advice please. Already used my free transfer and i still have zaha so gonna have to take the 4 point hit. Any advice on who to swap him for? Rest of my mid is ritchie alli kdb (carrol). I have 0.5m in the bank. Maybe willian? Gross?
Definitely get Willian
Willian or a Southampton mid.
Or Wijnaldum?
Not Willian imo. Bad fixtures, bad team atmosphere, will be replaced soon by Pedro, Hazard or a new signing
Wijnaldum for me
Who is a better pick?
A- Ritchie
B- Ince
Ritchie. Better side
Neither looked great at the weekend but I have and would still go with Ritchie. But from Hudds and Newcastle the standout midfielders were Mooy and Atsu
How about M. Phillips? In a one week everyone has suddenly forgotten him...
Would it be too early to play a wildcard? There is no way im taking a hit to make more trasnfers.
A WC now is ridiculous.
If i want to wildcard early when should I?
Hold off as long as possible, I've never made it past GW6 lol
gw 3 or 4
If he needs to wildcard he needs to wildcard, sometimes sh*t happens
no, do it 🙂
Depends what your team is. Gw6 is the next best time if your team is ok.
I've heard GW6 banded a lot, why is this? I'd be logically assuming as close to 19 as possible...
You should have played it before the rises. Might as well go one more gw
I think im going to wait for after GW3 as there is an international break then
Im expecting Klopp to say at some point
"the thing is if I dont play Moreno , he releases the pictures to the newspapers.
not cool!"
I hope Moreno gives some pictures to TAA too 😛
is Rob holding going to start this week for Arsenal? I think it ridicoulous that they would rather play two left backs at centre back
If Arsene continues with the 3-4-3 formation, then I think we'll be looking at:
Bellerin - Holding - Mustafi - Kolasinac - Ox 🙂
Mertesacker will play.....
My gut says OX moves to rub and drops bellerin, was poor
RWB
Monreal will definitely play
LOL mate that's PATHETIC.
Kola -- Xhaka -- Ramsey -- Ox
--Monreal - Kosc - Mustafi
Have now Ramsey with Willian... and Atsu as a sub, wonder if it is better to put Willian as a sub?
Suppose I best captain Lukaku now that I've brought him in. This is going to be such a classic case of troll behaviour when he blanks to Swansea
he seems to get far more stick for his trolling that kane does, a player who has yet to score a goal in August in the prem league.
I've sold Kane for him so a Kane brace and Lukaku blank will be the absolute double troll of the century
Hey Bubz. Why did you start with Kane?
I don't really know to be honest. He wasn't in any of my drafts up until the last couple days before the deadline and then I somehow ended up with him in there and no Lukaku
Yeah he wasn't in there for me but I'm all set to get him in GW 3 as per the plan. But if Lacazette scores again this weekend it'll be tough to get rid of him.
I honestly think Alli and Eriksen are the ones to own from Spurs this season. 3m cheaper than Kane and they are almost as prolific. My plan is to get one of them in for Burnley and probably double up on them at some point
Kane really out to have a hatty on the weekend
I expect Chelsea to really tighten up this weekend
What's your defence like with that line-ups, Bubz? 😀
It's not too horrendous...
Elliot/Speroni
Kolasinac, Yoshida, Stephens, Lowe, 4.0
Not too shabby.
Shabby??? It is threadbare! 😉
Definite troll now you've bought him bubz
Is Mbemba nailed for this week?
Y i think so, but Mounie will score a double. Let him warm your bench once more 😉
Anyone else regretting already not jumping on the already risen players?!
If I'd known Zaha was out last night I probably would have moved for Mkhi
mkh
Nah - that's -4 points I would rather have than jumping on players showing 1 good performance.
I am downgrading Zaha to 4,5 Cork/RLC (already got Carroll), and then next week i go WIjnaldum -> Eriksen (if he does not rise). Otherwise i do Wijnaldum -> Alli.
I've got Hegazi but dont know if I should get Ake instead...
Already owned 4 - FT intact
fabregas price still not down?
my replacement carroll better perform nex week or it will be bad decision that I sold him
a) Zaha > Ramsey
b) Zaha > Arnautovic
c) Zaha > Pogba (-4) via DDG > Foster
I'm probably going Ramsey.
I don't think Pogba is worth it. I have a spare mil and am in a similar boat having missed the Mkhi rise. Pogba doesn't seem like an alternative, I'll regret not having Mkhi all season.
On a separate note, I think you should downgrade DeGea at some point anyway.
Hey you can still get him, just have to pay the extra! No big loss. Yeah was always planning on running a cheep keeper rotation, but he was the most nailed/economic way into their defence with the early fixtures.
a
foster/elliot
danilo/dawson/bertrand
KDB/mane/ward-prowse/zaha/carroll
kane/lukaku/gabbi
who should i swap zaha for? should i get rid of gabi too?
thinking of possibly getting mounie and pogba but unsure pogba will return points
Wont surprise me if both Danilo and Gabbi get dropped...may be in a bit of a pickle this week
a) ince
b) atsu
c) Ritchie
which one do you prefer
ritchie. set piece taker and steady on assists/goals last season in championship
Foster
Alonso Stephens Jones
Alli KDB Pogba Zaha
Firmino Lukaku Gabbi
Elliot, TC, TAA, Rosenoir
1) Stay put, play TAA & have 2 FT next week with more info
2) Get out Zaha for Atsu/Mooy/?
3) tips appreciated
Play TAA very attacking and on set pieces like owning a premium midfielder
question is what to do next week with 2 FT & Zaha price drop
zaha is out for 4 weeks. Trade him for ritchie, who has good fixtures, then u can upgrade TAA to 5.5 when clyne takes his spot again
Zaha >
A. Ramsey / Winjaldum (-4)
B. Mkihitaryan (-8)
Already have Lukaku & Salah
Personally I'd try to avoid hits early this season, but if you have to then go with a (-4). Ramsey not nailed, Winjaldum could be a good punt 🙂
Willian
Wow! Zaha's % owned is plummeting now that Sky have confirmed he's out for a month!
zaha to ramsey last night.
You're right. Looks like he might drop tonight.
Help please guys - decent first week (78 points) but now have this lot for this week.
DDG
Kola / Ake / Mee / Stephens
Willian / KDB / Alli
Mounie / Lukaku / Jesus
Elliot / Zaha / Carroll / Hune....
Thinking of dropping Zaha for Tadic or Redmond (think Soton will beat West Ham) and playing instead of Willian or Kola.
Also considering ditching KDB for Salah as Palace look very open.
you should have gone zaha and kdb to salah and mkh
Are Kolasinac and Bertrand the best use of 11.5mil on two defensive spots?
Bertie for fixtures and price.
Plenty of options at 6.0 besides Kola.
I like both but went for Stephens/Valencia myself with decent returns. Still 11.5m for the pair.
As a gooner, I just dont fancy Arsenal keeping clean sheets very often.
Southampton and Man U have decent fixtures.
Bertie and Jones and pocket the 1m
i went bertrand and kompany
GTG?
De Gea
Kompany - Yoshida - Dawson
De Bruyne - Salah - Willian - JWP
Kane - Lukaku - Rodriguez
Elliot, Mee, Carroll, Long
Thanks!
Looks solid!
bench one from
a. ritchie
b. lowe
c. moreno
C
you are starting lowe ???
Yeah of course
cheers
hope he is on penos
Same!
C
Moreno.
cheers all
Pretty average team lol
Foster Elliot
Daniels PVA Bertrand Mee Long
Tadic KDB Willian Ritchie Carroll
Firmino Kane Lukaku
Who to play week 2?
It's not that difficult - bench TC, Long and Daniels?
O I really love this team so comfortable with it, it's -4 but still
DDG
TAA Stones Bertie
Mykhitaryan Salah KDB Ritchie
Laca Luka Gabbi
Elliot Mee Carroll Long
no spurs will be your undoing.
I am probably going KDB to Eriksen next week and Jesus in the week after or maybe WC gwk3.
Did you get rid of Kane?
No never had him
just why spend 10m on KdB when there are proven higher scoring alternatives for less money
it just don't make no sense
Madness to hold Zaha until after deadline?
I got rid of Iwobi already, not sure I want to take a -4 for any of the ~7.0 options.
hold
zaha is out for 4 weeks and will fall in price.
not madness, depending on your team. But keeping him for long isnt exactly wise
Same here, used FT on Fab. And yesterday I ended up doing -8 so I could upgrade Zaha to Mkih. The 7m options looks weak.
Can I have feed back on my team please 🙂 don't think I need a transfer but would like any opinions:
Foster
TAA, Dawson, Daniels
KDB, Miki, Ritcie, Alli
Jesus, Rodriquez, Lukaku (C)
Elliot, Bertie, Yoshi, Milvojevic
1FT 0 Itb
um bertie on the bench?
I wont bench Bertie.
Nice team but would you not play at least one from Southampton.
I was thinking of playing him instead of Dawson, but have a funny feeling Dawson will score this week!
Fair enough. I've Dawson too. He's a good shout.
Arsenal attackers??
Apart from Laca there is no one worth it until Alexis comes back
i would play bertrand and bench TAA.
6 years, 8 months agoI now have double City, Utd and Liverpool attack. Not bad baskets for my eggs to be in though
