Up next, we make our regular post-Gameweek assessment of the Opta data for our members.
The improved performances of Alvaro Morata, Jamie Vardy and Raheem Sterling come under close scrutiny, along with Man City’s relentless attack.
We also check out the impact of want-away midfield big-hitters Alexis Sanchez and Philippe Coutinho, before casting an eye over Marcos Alonso’s downturn in output as the Fantasy exodus on him picks up pace.
jrod and kdb????
I'd be considering a WC honestly or take a hit and downgrade KDB to silva or similar and use the funds to upgrade jrod
There's no point of wasting a WC so early. Also JRod has WAT next, and then I'll sell. I'm considering to fix the defence maybe
in that case just KDB, there are other midfielders outperforming him for points at better prices. his deep position is poison for FPL points
You shouldn't look at it as a waste. the KDB will free up some money for a -4 hit but that Team needs a lot more than 2 transfers. If a WC is needed, it's not a waste. We've had enough weeks now to gain a good assessment and with upcoming fixtures, you should be looking to make the most with a WC. Failure to do so will most likely lose you some ground before you finally do trigger it.
In my opinion, some areas for concern would be:
- Relying on West Brom Keepers
- Defence is very weak. Phil Jones is your only 'solid' Defender (considering the side he plays for).
- KDB money could be better utilised on other midfielders that score just as well
- JRod. Forget Fixtures, West Brom do not score enough.
Also not a fan of Ramsey or any Arsenal but I can understand the logic given their fixtures.
Just my opinion.
KDB>Silva
What if it could backfire? I'd like to get an Arsenal/Spurs defender first
JRod & Ramsey to Anyone with legs & Silva?
Oops KDB to Silva is obvious
Just look at ARS fixtures. JRod has the last chance this GW vs WAT anyway.
Not in bad shape, only 2 or 3 problems.
KdB and JRod are questionable.
Do you think the defence is good this GW?
Jones is the only defender that would give me confidence of a return (that's including those on your bench).
I maintain what I said above.
how has pogbas price not fallen yet? who is keeping him in their teams with no injury return date?
Me 😆
FPL dialed down the algo this year, so there's been an overall drop in price changes. He's red flagged, which further slows price drops. And I suspect that dead teams are overpopulated with famous names from Man Utd.
If you use your free hit in the blank week, you're quite likely to lose 0.3 or 0.4 TV I reckon
what brings you to that conclusion?
This
if you have highly owned players who aren't playing, then people without the chip will sell en masse, and their price will fall
But gain 50 points
I've had two drops all season.
There's no shame in that, it can happen to anyone.
Best mid for max 5.9 m to complete this front 7? Thanks
coutinho mkhi kouyate 5.9
kane lukaku lacazette
gross , atsu or one of the stoke guys . kouyate isnt a great one my friend do gross + atsu
Shaqiri
Elliot
Davies III Monreal III Kolasinac III Jones
Mhki III Silva III Carroll
Kane (C) III Lukaku III Morata
(TAA III Gross III Chabaloh III Krul
To extreme to have 2 Ars defenders?
Midfield to weak?
Apreciate inputs.
A lot of trust in Ars defence, could work out, I wouldn't have the balls yet tho.
Is it worth to keep Atsu or should I switch to Ritchie?
I'd keep for now and see how Ritchie will hold onto his set pieces.
Both were gash @bri, observe for now.
Thanks
Depends on rest of your team.
Atsu is quite good value for 5.0
Playing with WC options, How does this look like? Should the money from the bank be used? 4-3-3 with Mee/Wimmer (if/when fit) rotating.
Foster - Elliot
Bavies - Jones - Hoedt - Mee - Wimmer
Salah - DSilva - Mkhi - RLC - Carroll
Kane - Morata - Vardy
0.6 ITB.
id take cedric over hoedt all day better attacking returns . upgrade carroll to atsu
Soton doesn't score much. Hoedt seems to get more baps and get bonus points if they keep cs.
Foster to Fabianski and your good. WBA fixtures about to turn, Fabianski better option and rotates quite well with Elliot.
What to do with Firmino?
A- Firmino > Vardy for a FT
B- Save ?
Save, too sideways
Do you think he will start this weekend?
If you haven't sold yet give him 1 more chance @new
I am only afraid he might not start, or Sturridge will get some minutes
I am holding now for Newcastle (no other pool players) and then decide.
I'm on B. Mane returning could increase output
We need him to play more minutes first. Not only 62 mins like last week
He will do. Especially away from home when his work rate is more important. Has both Mane and Salah running past him now which will make Firm far more effective
isnt mane still suspended
Think he is back, according to FPL too
I'm in the same position - looking at the fixtures I'm thinking I might want to make this move next week for definite, so why not make it a week early? Depends how confident you are in Firmino vs New
I am not confident with Firmino now at all.
Wasn't good yesterday and was subbed early last GW and missed easy chances
Use
Thoughts on this for a hit:
Hegazi & Firmino -> Monreal & Vardy
Not for a hit.
Bobby to Vardy is a pretty sideways move.
So it’s hegazi for Monreal -4
The only thing is, do you think its worth it if I think Firmino won't start at the weekend?
Yes, if you believe bobby won’t start with certainty the move may be worth it
Also depends on who’s your first sub
firmino to vardy only
hegazi has a good fixture . stick . firmino straight up for vardy is good
Repost from dead article.
DDG Elliot
Davies Dawson Yoshi* Mee Mbemba
Eriksen Mkhi RLC Carroll Chabolah*
Aguero Kane Lukaku
I have 1FT and 0.0 itb
Should I save to have two FT over break? That's my intention.
Although I still do have a WC in my pocket, my team set up its inflexible as it currently stands.
Could do Yosh to Cresswell and week after Dawson to Cedric but not sure now.
Apparently my fodder is -97% to fall *FACEPALM* - Might be wise to use my FT
I feel like if Rangel hasn't fallen in a few weeks then Long shouldn't fall
Foster / Elliot
Jones / Davies / Kol / Dawson / Mee
Mhiki / Astu / D Silva / Ramsey / Carroll
Lukaku / Vardy / Kane
0.2itb
A - Wildcard this team
B -Stick for now?
Who are you unhappy with?
1 - Dawson
2 - No chelsea
3 - Carroll > RLC
So I'd stick this week as Chelsea are playing Man City, then use 2 x FT's next week or use your WC then. It doesn't look like you need to make too many changes for a WC though.
stick for sure
people are wildcarding to get this team:)
you have a perfect team for this week .
Yeah only some smallish changes but Chelsea Hazard / morata is essential next week.
If you have Lukaku and no Kane, and you are planning to captain Lukaku this weekend anyway, is it worth getting Lacazette instead of Kane for a one week punt? Both are similar anytime scorer odds, and if you have Kane but are not captaining him you’ll probably be worse of if he does well than badly anyway with all the captainers there will be?
You dont ever sell Kane when he's on a hot streak IMO.
I would only get Kane if I was going to captain him 4 out of 5 gameweeks. When not captained you should be able to pick 2 players that score > Kane + A.N.Other
If Kane gets 13 points and Kaku blanks, and Laca blanks, then you're losing out a lot either way
im doing aguero to lacazette as a one week punt . then going back . kane just got 5 goals in 2 games
Do you think my defence looks good this GW?
Mee Jones Daniels (TA-A, Mbemba)
I have 1FT, 0.9ITB but I'd like to get an Arsenal/Spurs defender tho.
No. Can see two blanks there.
Who'd you get? Also, do you think TAA will start?
Daniels to Monreal
And play Mee(EVE) or TAA?
Definitely save the free transfer.
It's not good but it's ok enough save and upgrade next week
Would you do KDB to Silva this GW then?
No I would still save as that could backfire, and you may have a need for that second transfer next week which isn't immediately obvious.
daniels to monreal or daniels to davies
Naughton to cresswell 1FT done .
Why?
Coz I have 2FT and got nothing else to do. Also cresswell has better fixture and can get me points on both side of the pitch
Risky
Why and how
Might not start
naughton has good rotating fixtures
Solid move, I think Cresswell could do very well with those fixtures.
Foster
Davies, Jones, Cedric, Naughton
Eriksen, Salah, Brady
Morata, Lukaku (c), Aguero
Elliot - Grob - Mbemba - TCarroll
1 FT, 0,2 ITB.
Anything need adressed? Kinda want some city defence coverage after this GW.
if mendy is indeed out for the season then danilo is the guy
Delphinho
Comments on this post week 7 wild card squad please ?
Would you take Fernandez and Jones over Naughton and Maguire? Either means double Swansea defence but best rotation with Ward of Burnley (unless Wimmer fit by week 8)
Fabianski Elliot
Azpi Naughton Davies Maguire Ward
Coutinho Sterling Ramsey Shaquiri Loftus- Cheek
Morata Vardy Kane
If your happy with the rest of the squad , I would take Laca this week and bring in Morata next week
I'd go Fernandez over Naughton yes, BPS-magnet and 0.1 cheaper. Jones has got 3 very tough fixtures in the next 5, but he's been playing out of his skin (and deservedly gotten some bonus) so he'll probably is 'nailed' now. Leicester fixtures are better and Maguire has more attacking threat tho, that's why i've gone for both and ditched cedric instead.
People now selling Kun, he is in decline on fpl stats, don't understand this , unless people are bringing him back next week
Hokey kokey?
Yeh maybe this is what is happening.
They see that he played 80+ mins midweek, missed a pen, and has Chelsea next.
Easy switch from Aguero > Lukaku too.
I'll probably hold as I'd like 2 x FT's next week.
Yeh but City's fixtures are great so if I had I would definitely keep.
I'd prefer Aguero to Lukaku any day of the week. But there will come a time when Pep plays silly beggars and starts changing things.
I honestly not sure what to do. Get rid of Jesus or Mahrez or both? Do i need Arsenal or Liv attack? 0m ITB and 1FT. Thanks all.
Foster
Danilo - Daniels - Jones
Alli - Choupo - Mkhi - Mahrez
Jesus - Kane - Vardy
Lascelles - T.Carroll - Rosenoir
Jesus to Laca
+1
Considering it but means i'll be without City attack and Liverpool
I get why people are getting rid of Jesus, sure. Substituted after +/- 60mins a lot and didn't play last GW. I don't think this has anything to do with Pep not having faith in him. I think it's the opposite, he rates him very high. Last GW they didn't need him to beat the push-overs at palace. He only get's hauled off when the match is dusted and done, so he can get a deserved rest to keep playing himwhen he needs him. I think he'll start against Chelsea for sure. I remember last year as well, when he took a penalty from Yaya (even on his birthday!) and with Kün missing quite some spotkicks, who knows who'll be taking the next one. I can't wait for it to be Jesus and his sellers getting punished. You're 0.1 short of Mahrez/Daniels > Ramsey/Azpi. Maybe downgrade Lascelles when you can sell him for 4.6?
Lukaku, Firmino & Alli vs Morata, Vardy & Salah (have Kane and Mkhi, no other cover for Pool/Che/Lei)
MVS
Shelvey's return puts question marks over Ritchie which is a shame
Maybe atsu is the better Newcastle pick now?
Is Shelvey more of a threat to Perez?
He means set piece wise
Ritchie on pens is the main attraction, I think
De gea
Kolasinac, Bdavies, Naughton
Eriksen, Salah, Mhiki, Silva
Lukaku, Hemed, Morata
Elliot, TC, manquillo, Hunemeier
1FT, 0.2 itb
Gtg or upgrade Hemed to Vardy/ Lacazette and downgrade eriksen?
Mee @ -97.1
Has been for about a month.
Since a month ago
Jesus owners, what is your plan? Do you stick with him or you are changing ships?
He'll start vs Chelsea. I'd review after that game.
I can see the temptation to switch to Morata or Lacazette though.
I don't fancy lacazette at all.
Morata, maybe
I am from sticking group, I still believe he's their main striker. The reason he gets subbed off early is to give him rest for the next match.
Yep, that's right. He's Pep's golden boy.
Morata. Done.
I'm in the same boat as you. However, I also have Morata. I can see people making the switch, but I can't wait for Jesus to punish the non-believers. Only get's hauled off when the game is already done and dusted so Pep can keep playing him all season. Imagine the scenes if he takes penalty's from Kün (like last year he took one from Yaya)
Who scores the most tonight ,
A Dybala (OLYMPIAKOS)
B Messi (sporting)
Dybala
have dybala as captain
Cheers guys.

Mee Kola Bavies
Salah Miki Silva Richarlison

Really to get rid of Stephens but think to save my FT for this gw and make 2 FT during int break?
WOULD LOVE TO GET SOME ADVICES
Save transfer
Silva and Vardy OR Kun and Gross?
Other forwards would be Kane and Morata
Silva and vardy
Ta
S & V for me
Ta
I have Silva, Firmino, Kane, Morata.
Would still prefer Firm ahead of Vardy.
Silva and Vardy from your options
Hmm interesting. I had Firmino until the week before last, currently have Jesus
Mkhi + aguero -> coutinho + lukaku -4 worth it for this week? Transfer aguero back in week after
Not worth at all
How about aguero's to lukakau only? Would reckon mkhi to get atleast an assist
Good idea
I don't really like it, but at least wait until Man Utd have played in Russia tonight.
Say it's late in the season and you own Kane, and not many own Aguero.
City play in the blank week, you play your free hit.
Everyone without the chip goes Kane -> Aguero, and Kane drops 0.1 or 0.2.
Surely this could well happen to several members of your team?
This where points over team value comes in.
Might decimate your TV before the pre-DGW WC though
But if you've got Kane in your team for a double are you going to take him out for the sake of .2m?
If it's late in the season it's all about as many points as possible not scrabbling around for TV.
This. Hopefully by then you have +£106/7m selling value.
Sell Jesus and Firmino
Buy Kane and Chicharito
Yes or no please?
Kane Chicha Aguero
Could work out, Whm have nice fixtures and Kane is on fire
My thoughts! Thanks
Can't afford King?
Interesting this. A few weeks ago, I'd have said Jesus + Firmino would outscore Kane + Chicharito, but now Firmino is going through a tricky patch, and Jesus isn't lasting for anywhere near 90 minutes. Worst still, Kane is a valid captain option again.
I'd get Kane but perhaps go cheaper than Chicharito and use the fund to get a premium defender in.
Or upgrade 1 of Mooy or Gros
Cheers!
This. Not mad on Chicharito as an option personally. Wood could be worth a shout.
