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.
On a WC lads, would love your thoughts on the following
A) Couts / Salah
B) Aguero / Jesus
C) Sane / Silva / Sterling
D) Otamendi / Azpilicueta
Salah
Kun
Sane
Otamendi
Salah
Aguero
Silva
Otamendi
Salah
Aguero
Sterling if nailed, but Silva in reality unfortunately
Otamendi
3 for 3 for Aguero Salah Otamendi....cheers lads.
The MC mid is a mystery though
Anyone else planning on getting Daniels in next gameweek?
Yup yup yup. Just waiting on that price drop 🙂
for sure
For Huddersfield in gw 12. Would like him to drop before that.
If both are satisfied:
- We know for a fact Bavies won't play vs CPA
- He drops to 4.8
Went Yoshida.
Absolutely
week 12 perfect time to swap spton defender for him
they need to show some form first
Not for me I don't like the look of Bournemouth at all this year.
Ayyyyyyy or beeeeee?
a) Silva, Sterling and play 4.4def/RLC/Carroll
Or
b) Silva, Choupo and Azpi
beeeeeeee
Beeeeeeeee
c) Silva, Richarlson, Luiz
Bottomed.
A) Save FT
B) Lukaku + Jesus -> Morata + Aguero
C) Lukaku + Sterling -> Aguero + Richarlison
Elliot
Jones Mee Cedric
Salah Silva Sterling RLC
Kane (c) Lukaku Jesus
Foster Naughton Mbemba Chalobah
B and C would be -4
Not sure if RLC is a cert
Elliot
Ota - Luiz - VVD - Ward
Haz - Sterling - Richarlison
Kane - Jesus - Vardy
Subs: Fab - RLC - TC - Wimmer
2Fts, 1.0m itb
Just Haz to Salah(C) looks good and rolling over the FT?
Thoughts?
Im considering that move myself. go for it!
thoughts on my lot on post below?
I'd do that. Maybe Jesus to Kun as well if we know Kun will start, even though we probably won't ever know.
Cheers both 🙂
Have a very similar team and went for Salah (replaced Hazard). In next 3-4 gameweeks will definitely pay off
Whats the best move here people?
Elliot / J.perreria
Cedric / Azpil / Jones / Stones / Huneimer
Hazard / DSilva / Richarlison / RLC / TC
Kane / Jesus / Vardy
0ITB 1FT
Haz to Salah primary move.
Id keep Jesus.
But if he plays 90' tonight, Kun(C) for a hit might be worth
I think I would save, but possibly look at replacing Jones
Jones has travelled with the Utd squad to Swansea
cheers guys.
Real Madrid president says Harold will cost £220m. His last season in the PL?
I hope not!
how many lamelas can you get for that
I completely forgot he existed
Haha!!!!
Does Jack Cork have any attacking threat or is he just a one game wonder?
He got an assist against Chelsea so I got him as a bench player in a GW4 wildcard lol
One game wonder. More chance of Tom Carroll getting the odd assist
That's what I thought, cheers.
Do burnley having any attacking threat in general?
Hey everyone, any news on Phil Jones' injury?
Permanent
But he's probably fine, travelled with the squad
Apparently some noise on here saying he travelled with squad tonight
🙂
Travelled to Swansea by plane for EFL cup so looks to be fine.
Wait for Jose pre/post match interview tonight.
Start one:
(A) Maguire (EVE)
(B) Bavies (utd)
(C) Cresswell (cry)
Maguire
Ryan
Azpi Otamendi Ward Davies
Salah Silva Richarlison
Kane Jesus Vardy
Elliot Jones RLC Carroll
A) Davies + RLC to Dunk + Choupo(play everyweek except hard ones)
B) Davies + Jesus to Dunk + Aguero
B but both are good options
I'll see after the game tonight
Play:
Jones or RLC?
Jones
People seem to think Kompany returning would push Stones to the bench. I just don't see it, I think it would either be 3 at the back, or Otamendi benched
not to worry, kompany won't be fit
Hope not, because I can't afford Otamendi
Keep us updated
Best Defender up to 4.7? Thanks all!
a - Kiko
b - Bruno/Duffy
c - Gomez/Moreno?
Between A and B and I really have no idea which one to pick
Mee
already got Ward Deano! cheers
A
Gamble with C
Captain poll for this week:
A. Coutinho
B. Ramsey
C. Sterling
A
A from those
Captaining Ramsey could be the most frustrating thing ever
A potential going away present after last week’s haul!
A from those
A new option has emerged!
Ayyyyyyy or beeeeee or now even seeeeeeeeeeeee?
a) Silva, Sterling and play 4.4def/RLC/Carroll
Or
b) Silva, Choupo and Azpi
Or
c) Silva, Richarlson and Luiz
A for this week, C for long term.
Just when I thought these mindless pick my team for me posts were as annoying as they could get.
so that's Veeeeee sign from you then
"What's he say, Doc?"
""Kill me" Over and over again. "Kill me.""
You are aware that 99% of the posts are people asking for advice between choices that they're struggling to decide on.
Or is it just the ayyyy, beee, seeee choice you are so upset about?
I'm hoping it'll catch on 😉
Haz/Vardy to :
A. Sanchez/Firmino
B. Salah/Firmino
B
I'd keep for this week
Keep for Everton
Even Arsenal were able to put 5 against them
Play...
A) Jones (TOT)
B) RLC (WHU)
?
wait on news today on JOnes
Does Haz tend to play deep when Chelsea play 343?
It wasn't an issue last year, so I don't see why it would be an issue now.
I think too many people get obsessed with how deep players play when they are watching the games rather than just the highlights.
Part of the front 3 surely?
If Naughton was ever rested would it be Rangel to step in for him?
If u have rangel from gw1, major respect
No but I have Naughton and could free up a juicy 0.1m by selling Mbemba
a) Haz to Salah
b) Vardy to Bobby
c) Haz + Aguero to Kun + Salah for -4
I’d like to see you do C!
Bavies, D Silva, Lukaku to Kiko, Coutinho, Aguero -4?
Keep Silva?
possibly but prefer more explosive returns. Have sterling atm and content with him.
Sane is pretty explosive right now
Just Bavies and lUKAKU
Need to remove city mid to get aguero?
Whats your other 2 city players?
Did similar. Kaku, Silva, Beavis > Kun, Salah, Yoshi
how come you going Kiko over a Brigthon defender? trying to decide myself!
If Kun breaks the record tonight I can see him benched this week.
Still don’t think Pep has him in his plans and if not for that penalty, we’d all be forlorning his performance.
Aguero has started every single game, apart form one as long as he's been fit. Not sure where you're getting this.
So what is everyones opinion on squad value? I am not letting it rule my picks but do keep it in mind. Surely if you are 3/4 or even 5 mil up at the 3/4 mark of the season, its only good for you?!
Also is there a table showing squad value in order? I am at 102.6 so jist wonder where I rank.
It's good to have a high SV no doubt, but I prefer waiting to make my moves.
Good example is I could've got Agüero in last night with 2FTs and the logged in to find I've got a new flag in my squad. I didn't do the move and now I've a flagged player I would've need to sort with a hit or play the utter shite off the bench.
This
Yeah guess that is the argument against early transfers. The main thing would be to take advantage of the thurs/fri price rises if you wanted to stay safer then.
Getting in season keepers before they get more expensive is the most important important part of building team value. I'm very happy to only have used 5.0 on Jones, 8.1 on Silva and 12.5 on Kane, but for a lot of the other players I have no use of them going up 0.1 or even 0.2 and 0.3 in terms of team value.
But surely the keepers are ones you arnt too worried if they go up as you are planning to keep hold of them anyway. Its the players that you plan to keep for 4/5 weeks which go up 0.2 and allow you to spend extra 0.1s on replacements. Over a season they add up.
If you want Elliot, Otamendi, Jones, Silva, Richarlison, Kane and Morata in your team right now, that will cost you £2.3m compared to the start of the season. Most people have a team value way below £102.3m. That's why the 0.1 here and there is useless in comparison to joining in on the season keepers early.
Those non-season-keepers are the ones you want to gain value in order to sell for profits. It's all about getting on players at the right time and selling high (sound a but like a trader, here). So the odd 0.2 really does make a difference over the season
Also avoiding price drops are key. 0.1 loss = 0.1 loss however 0.1 gain = 0 gain
Squad value is overrated. I try to avoid early transfers, try not to take hits, wait to see who's injured and who's likely to play. To me, that extra information is worth more than having a couple extra mil to splash around at the end of the year.
Think about it this way: Just put together your ideal team, then find the one player you could safely downgrade, and downgrade him - instead of settling for lesser players in multiple positions. For instance, when the DGWs roll around and the people who have taken hits and made risky transfers all year to gain value have Sanchez, you have Ozil. The rest of your squad is the same as the other person, and Ozil - in a short stretch - could easily outscore Sanchez, and you haven't fretted about team value all year.
Which is best?
a) Duffy
b) Moreno
c) Kiko F.
Kiko
C
Lukaku to lacazette or log out
See no reason to get Laca atm
I won't do it
No way
Go home
Should I do Sterling to Salah (-4) to have a Liverpool player?
Elliot
Walker Jones Simpson Kola
Sterling Atsu Eriksen
Kane Kaku Jesus
Subs: Fabianski, Carroll, Chalobah, Mbemba
Yes
Hi
Hola
Gutted to end up playing with only 2 defs in last 2 gws. What would you change
Ederson Elliot
Alonso Fernandez Davies Mbemba Hunemeir
Ritchie Gross Silva Tcaroll Salah
Kane Jesus Vardy
1FT, 0.2 itb, ready for hits
The answer is in your first sentence.
Enlighten me man
Get defenders that are playing.
You really need some defenders for your bench.
One of Alonso or Davies needs downgrading to fund upgrades on Mbemba and Hunemeir (or just one of them)
Alonso -> Otamendi?
I wish I could do it man but already got 3 city players. How abt
Davies+Mbemba- Moreno/ Gomez+ kiko
Ah hadn't spotted that sorry! I'd go Duffy over Moreno/Gomez just because of the possible rotation with Liverpool full backs - especially because you're making the change so you have a bench! 🙂
Pick two:
a) Cedric (bha)
b) Dunk (SOU)
c) Mee (NEW)
B and C
6 years, 6 months agoPlay...
A) Jones (TOT)
B) RLC (WHU)
