Our usual post-Gameweek members’ article is up next as we check in on some of the standout performers across the previous weekend’s ten matches.
There’s cause for optimism in north London after Spurs and Arsenal hit a combined nine goals, while our new expected goals data offers plenty to ponder at Manchester City.
Elsewhere, Man United and Chelsea’s Belgian big-hitters have struggled to convince as Watford’s Samba star continues to catch the eye.
😎
Yeah, with no Pogba, United have been absolutely awful. I'll consider bringing Lukaku back in December
0 FT
Bank 0.6
Elliot
Cedric - Jones - Otamendi
Richarlision - Eriksen - Zaha- Sterling
Jesus - Kane - Firmino
Subs: Foster, T. Carroll, Mee and Rangel.
Any suggestions?
I'd be tempted to do Jesus > Morata
Gtg
A lot of people talking about needing a Liverpool mid due to upcoming fixtures. I dont see it. Yes, youll be a little nervous this gw but their only other home games in the next 6 are Southampton (who they always seen to struggle to score against) and Chelsea. Personally im happy going without
Salah will have a point to prove vs Chelsea
start Elliot (bur) or Gomes (STK) next week?
How long does it take to score AGUEROOOOOOOOOOOOO
Antonio has a rib injury says Bilic.
Speroni
Kola Ward Bavies
Sterling Salah Richarlison RLC
Jesus Kane Lukaku
(Elliot Jones Carroll Mbemba)
I have 2FT and 0.3ITB, willing to take a hit. What should be my priority moves?
Not sure you nèed to take a hit. Lukaku to Morata? Kola to otimendi?
Kane Aguero Morata
Keeping these 3 in my team for good cant be doing with rotations! Think these will score most goals
Captain this week??? Mo salah
Salah my thought as well.
Need help, A or B
A. david silva, aguero, vardy
B. Pedro, jesus, firmino
a
Silva, auguero, Firmino
WC advice please,
De Gea (Elliot)
Daniels, Mee, Dunk, Mariappa xxx
Salah, Sterling, Richarlison, xxx (Carroll)
Aguero, Kane, Morata
A. Zaha, and Moreno (or any other 4.5m)
B. Stanislas and Jones
DDG has Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal and City in next 7. You might think twice. How about Pope and upgrade somewhere else
He also has Mourinho as a manager, clean sheets ahoy over those games.
I like A....quick question, you sticking with Sterling? I'm on a WC too and in same boat and have similar team
For my free hit this week:
Salah or Coutinho
Morata or Lacazette
Ryan or Pope
Ward or Gomez
Otamendi or Yoshida
Salah
Morata
Pope
Gomez
Otamendi
Thanks
Would love to see Aguero benched tonight, but surely he'll start vs West Brom? Him and jesus
I hope they give him a run out tonight
To get him fitter for Napoli
After his rest at the weekend
Moreno or Mee?
Are you feeling punty?
Liverpool fixtures are good and they CS at home all the time
I am doing Gomez, but I have Lascelles and Duffy.
This is as my 5th defender in a 433 in place of mbemba, for a hit ... Sounds nuts but I've done all the numbers and it actually looks like a decent plant. Mee safer but Liverpool fixtures are tempting
Those fixtures fit like a glove, in my team. 🙂
I am also replacing Mbemba, for a hit. I have 2 FT this week. 🙂
Could pay off. Mee is a sure starter for a solid defence, though. So if it’s for the season it’s gotta be Mee.
I know. Mee is the far safer bet. I think it's the sensible one.
Mee or Lowton then?
Mee is about to drop so, Lowton if you can afford him.
Same price as each other. Ward is the 4.7 one
Right! Lowton using the same logic.
Mee
Mee
Cheers all. Guess my 5 minute flirt on moreno is over.
Lowton or Tarko, Mee looks like a dropper. But I'd go with Moreno
Sell me moreno 🙂
My team has only conceded once at home all season. My upcoming fixture run includes 3 home fixtures in the next 4. I'm second highest for baseline BAPs amongst defenders and chances created in the last 4. I'm top amongst defenders for crosses and successful crosses in the last 4. I'm owned by 2.6% of managers and cost 4.5. Who am I?
Posted by Over Midwicket this morning. Answer is Moreno btw 😉
Read it too earlier, the reason why i chose Moreno.
I was getting Moreno anyway and I haven't seen the original post, thanks for that, now I'm fully convinced it's the correct move, now just have to decide which defender to sell 🙂
Haha. This makes a strong case.
Mee will never drop. Perma -96% or something
Yup, have Ward at 4.6 on WC but would love to switch to a 4.4 Mee
managers who use chips should not be considered for manager of the week prizes..anyone agrees?
Not really. But a team that has been created say gw 10 should be disqualified for a weekly prize in gw 10.
No sorry
They have balls to use t now rather than during DGW. Of course it counts
I agree, although the week just gone is the first time I can remember that it isn't a chip team as team of the week
So no-one wins in double gameweeks?
Getting a bit stuck with eildcard draft, need some input on this current 4-4-2 draft :
Pope - Elliott
Trippier - Jones - Otamendi - Lejeune - Dunk
Eriksen - Salah - Sterling - Richarlison
Kane - Agüero - Ayew
How's she looking?
Options to upgrade Ayew to big hitter (Morata?) and play 3-4-3 or 4-3-3 would be be to downgrade one of Eriksen or Salah to Groß or Atsu and Trippier to 4.5. Agüero to Jesus also a possibility
I don't think that your midfield is good enough.
Ryan rotates better with Elliot, as you know, and Heaton has already been out for along time. You might be lucky with Lejeune, but I prefer Lascelles.
I was kinfd of happy with that midfield - let me guess , you'd like Couthino over Salah, and not sold on Rich? Carroll or other 4.5 is 5th mid btw.
Ryan an option, have seen you mention him yes 😉
No money left for Lascelles
Correct! 🙂
Think you'te the only one om dere who doesn't fancy Richarlison at that prøve ☺!
*price
If I could have had Richardson at the beginning, I would have. But now I have:
Eriksen(c), Coutinho, Silva(vc), Sterling, Ramsey
So, no thanks!
Now that is tasty
🙂
Pope Elliot
Azpilicueta Davies Stones Ward Wimmer
Hazard Eriksen Sterling RLC Carroll
Kane Jesus DCL
Really struggling with 2FT this week...almost wish I could save another...
A. Hazard DCL > Richarlison Firmino
B. Hazard Jesus > Coutinho Aguero
C. Hazard Sterling > Coutinho Salah
Money ITb?
0.0
Focus on Davies or Pope. Ryan does rotate well with Elliot as Doos says above.
Will the fire near Etihad have any impact on the game tonight ?
Which looks the better option for this week and the next few weeks?
Ozi + Sterling
Sanchez + Richarlison -4
S and R
SanRich
Richez
Thanks for the replies.
Suggestions
DDG
Jones/Otamendi/Maguire Sterling/Silva/Gross/Richarlison Kane/Lukaku/Vardy
Myhill/Tarroll/Schindler/Mbemba 1.4ITB 1 FT
Save?
Or
Sterling+lukaku
To
Salah+Aguero
(-4)
I'm ready for next game week?
Elliot
Alonso Kolasinac Ward
Salah Richarlison Loft Sterling
Kane Aguero Firmino (c)
Foster Davies Atsu Hun
What if Sturridge starts?
This
It might happen but they need to field the best team and build confidence.
Doos why you keen on Ramsey this week?
I love hog stats tables they are really good
Your
- cheers! 😀
Mum
Have you got your own fix ticker as well?
Oh, yes. Want a copy? Leave your email. 🙂
Doosra,
May i leave my email as well for a copy of your ticker? And just how do i do that??
Sorry i'm 59 and a little technically unsavvy.
Ringwraith
Yes, surely. Just write it here, if you don't mind. I will monitor this slot for half an hour. 🙂
And thanks a ton!!
You're welcome. Sent.
I would love a copy to gutta_girls@hotmail.com if you don't mind. 🙂
Have a look at his shots and heat map. He’s virtually playing as a second striker arriving in the 6 yard box for every attack.
Probably because 355 21 281 332 675 278 902.
What's these numbers for
He is taking the piss. But he should have just said:
ARS : SWA 460
🙂
Are ok we got a comedian in the room
My team:
Elliot Woodman
Otamendi van Dijk Mee Wimmer Mbemba
Hazard Salah Silva RLC TC
Kane Jesus Vardy
2FT 0.0ITB
Is Vardy to Firmino the move you would make?
I would keep vardy maybe better now
Having 2FT, what would you change then?
To be honest it looks good
Wimmer >> Dunk.
Whats your ideal midfield?
Choupu, Richarlson, Sanchez, Eriksen, Salah for me!
Eriksen(c), Coutinho, Silva(vc), Sterling, Ramsey 😉
- and I will have this.
Cout over Salah?
Yep.
rare occasion that I agree with this bloke
Eriksen captain vs Manu?
I don't have Sánchez. 🙂
Huh?
I would captain Sánchez this week, if I had him. Not ready to trust Ramsey with the armband. 🙂
Eriksen vs Jose’s bus. I wouldn’t Doos
I am not sure that Jose's bus has been serviced, recently.
Would you not captain Kane?
Selling Rashford?
No, Vardy. For Okazaki.
wow
Doosra... I know you prefer Coutinho to Salah. Would you mind telling me why? I will bring one or other in this week and on the stats I really can't separate them by much, if anything Salah might be slightly ahead (although it depends what period you look at).
There's little doubt (I think) that Coutinho is a better footballer. But is he clearly a better FPL asset? Any comments much appreciated in advance.
Salah is ahead - THIS WEEK - mostly, he's not.
Coutinho's on some corners. Salah is not a good shotmaker, however many he strikes, and unlike Sánchez, is not positionally good enough to make his shots count. That is why his shots are high, but his goals are where they are.
Also, Coutinho, like another midfielder I own, is preternaturally accurate. 🙂
Thanks.
I know very well how poor a finisher Salah is, I watched him play at Chelsea (though he has evidently improved a bit since then). But the volume of opportunities he gets kind of compensates I think.
I feel like Coutinho is the sophisticated pick. But this might be a time when it's better to go with crude effectiveness. 🙄
The fact that Salah may be on pens also helps his cause. FFS says he is but I won't be confident of that until I see it happen.
Yeah, that is the worry/hope. 🙂
Didn't Klopp say that he is the first choice pen taker.
No. People have inferred that from what he said.
When he said it it was more of a joke, at the press conference a few days after the Egypt triumph
Agreed abt the pen thing.
Also bringing one of them this week, and I think I will get Salah.
And 5 goals in 9 games is bad?
Interested also
Reasons behind Eriksen (c)?
Sterling - Rich - Salah - Gross/Choupo and 4.5 fodder (Carrol, RLC)
wow exactly my midfield ... makes me feel better about my team !
This week Salah, Coutinho, Sanchez, Silva, Mahrez...would need a pretty rubbish defence and attack thoughto get that.
Or a free hit. 🙂
Sané, not Silva
Probably Eriksen, Salah, D.Silva, Richarlison and Loftus
Depends whether you want the strongest possible 5 midfielders irrespective of the effect on the rest of the team, or the best midfield within an ideal balanced formation.
I am currently playing 3 in midfield (Sterling, Eriksen and Doucoure), but 4 would probably be better.
Spurs mid, Salah, Pedro/Sterling/Ramsey, Richarlison
Don't fancy a 5 man midfield since I kinda rate Kane + 2 of Aguero Morata Lukaku up front. Salah and Richarlison in midfield are nailed for me. Dilva/Eriksen + Gross/Moting for the 2 other spots looks fine
My wildcard midfield will be:
Salah, Silva, Choup, Gross, Richarlson
Actually unsure. Good selections tho.
Currently on Hazard, Salah, Richarlison, Choupo and Gross
Sanchez (c) / Hazard / Coutinho / Richarlison (RLC) is my midfield this week.
And your attack is?
Kane & Vardy. I'm playing a 4-4-2 formation.
2ft and not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
Fabianski Elliott
Cedric luiz mbemba ward Davies
Silva choupo-Mot coutinho sterling RLC
Jesus vardy kane
Davies downgrade and upgrade RLC or Chupo?
This is a repost. For more opinions
On WC this gameweek
Out: eriksen mkhi firmino kaku bellerin rangel coupo
In: salah richarlison kane kun femenia ward surman
team right now
elliot
ward stones yoshida femenia
silva salah richarlison
kane kun morata
sub: foster dunk surman carroll
any changes needed?
I don't have any united cover. i thought with the free transfers every week, i can rotate between kun, lukaku and morata.
With this team, i'll be stuck on 4-3-3 formation for the most GWs.
Are Cedric and Daniels ever going to fall? Have both been -96-98% for the last 3 weeks...
Unlikely with those fixtures.
Thoughts for thic WC team??
Fabianski (Elliot)
Cedric/Naughton/Ward (Simpson/Mariappa)
Sterling/Salah/Zaha/Ritchie (TCarroll)
Kane/Lukaku/Morata
Can't stretch to Richarlison from Ritchie?
I can if i Ward -> Mee
Seems logical to me. The upside of Richarlison from Ritchie is worth more than a few baps for Ward over Mee.
Also I prefer Duffy to Simpson.
Thanks for your advice!
Right,
Kaku and Bavies to Morata and Azpi/Luiz?
Which one? Luiz gives money ITB to get Kaku back at some point, but Azpi gets points and may be RWB
Don’t spend those kind of funds for a Chelsea defender as long as Kante is out.
Luiz
Quick question - How does price increase for players work. ie I bought Kane for 12.5m and he is know worth 12.7m....if i were to sell him now wouldn't i pocket 12.7m?? For some reason it just shows i get the 12.5 back!
You get 12.6 back.. half of whatever he rose in price
I suspect many are in the same boat but is bringing in Aguero for Jesus just a 50:50 guess or is there more scientific approach to the decision?
People try to justify it to themselves when we know Pepe doesn't play by any rules.
What would you do!?
I'm in the both camp. Saves the headache but on the flipside its one less striker from the other teams.
So, would you get Abraham or save the cash and get Hemed for 5.0m?
Abraham is as low (in price) I would go for a 3d striker.
6 years, 6 months agoTime for Lukaku to punish his sellers!
