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.
zaha
Zaha
Kola and montreal to who?

Bottomed
Thoughts on below chaps?
Elliot
Alonso Jones Bavies
Antonio* Ritchie Sterling RLC
Sergio(c) Kane Laca
Foster Lowe Mbemba Chalobah
0FT and 0.8 ITB
A) Antonio ➡ Richarlison-4
B) Antonio Alonso ➡ Salah Duffy -8
C) Other
do you really need a hit? if yes A looks good.
If Antonio is out, then yes I’ll have to pull the trigger for -4
wait for the conference then.
B) Now is the time.

For all those waiting to see who Pep selects tonight it is meaningless. You still won't be able to work out who starts at the weekend.
lol so true.
True, neither will minutes played however an injury is a different story
True.
Injuries are a possibility though.
Not necessarily, if Jesus starts instead of Kun, then Kun is pretty much guaranteed to start weekend, and if sterling doesn't play full 90mins, he should play too or if sane doesn't play at all but sterling does then he might field the same team
Not necessarily. Footballers are athletes they can play more than one game in a week
It takes approximately 5 days for a professional football player to fully recover from a 90 minute match. The more fatigued you are the higher chance of injury
We know that Pep might be unpredictable with the rotation but i'm sure he knows that players also need rest
I agree but don't think it's as black and white as "if X starts then Y will play" etc.
Absolutely nailed it.
But when he has so many players at his disposal why would he do that
Why would he play Sane for 3 games straight playing the full 90 in the middle game?
Yes, but if Kun doesn't play today is he gonna get rested again at the weekend? Unlikely. Whoever plays today may also play at the weekend, but getting today off would seem to favor a weekend start.
Natural logic says yes but it doesn't necessarily mean that they will start at the weekend.
This is not Pep's logic .
True dat
What do you mean? He managed Sterling's minutes last week in UCL and... doh
Agree. After last weeks, 'Sterling subbed at 70. Guaranteed to start'. We should have learnt, don't try to second guess Pep it will end in tears.
Ain't the match tomorrow night???
I think he'll start Kun tonight in the hope of breaking the record at home.
Like you say whatever he picks obviously gives us no idea of who starts on Saturday.
Help needed
Elliot/green
Mbemba naughton cedric mee rosenior
Sterling hazard carrol richa Brady
Lukaku kane aguero
Feel midfield and defence way to light. Will my strikers make up for it?
Would you recommend Pedro in my draft team?
Yes
Yes I have him...good chelsea cover
Hi guys how does this team look? i was thinking of doing Zaha/Sterling to Richarlison and Lukaku to Aguero? i have 1.5 itb
Fabianski Pereira
Monreal Naughton Jones Simpson Rangel
Salah Silva Zaha Sterling RLC
Lukaku Kane Abraham
thanks
I’d make those moves
rp
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(depending on today's game)
Anyone able to help?
B depending on tonight
I don't think tonight has any bearing on this at all .
Aguero starts - could be that Pep is just giving him more minutes to get him match fitter.
Aguero doesn't start - people will assume that this means that he starts at the weekend but this isn't necessarily the case.
Bring him in anyway then?
Or Aguero starts, gets injured and then you know not to bring him in?
Better to wait and see considering there's no benefit to doing it now before the game.
My lot:
Fab
Luiz / Stones / Cedric / Ward
Hazard / Sterling / Choupo /
Lukaku / Jesus / Vardy
Elliot / Simpson / Tarroll / Stephens
2 FTs / 1.6 ITB
Players I would like to potentially bring in: Lacazette, Richarlison, maybe Sanchez (but keeping Hazard for now), Salah...
Mostly considering Lukaku/Stephens->Laca/Richarlison and hope Sterling/Jesus start against WBA...
Suggestions?
Kiko or Bruno and why?
Cant decide, Brighton look a bit more solid, is Kiko attacking tho?!
Would get Duffy or Dunk over Bruno - he's missed a couple I think?
I prefer solidity in cheap defenders - any attacking/BPs is a bonus 🙂 Watford have been fine apart from City/Chelsea/Liverpool where you wouldn't play them anyway
thanks Klop. think Bruno was injured in those games otherwise would have been highested scoring Brighton defender?
Cant decide who more likely to keep clean sheets out of Watford or Brighton though!
If you’re looking at BHA defenders then orget Bruno and go with Dunk. Very good value at £4.4m.
Do I WC this lot (already on a -4)?
Fab Foster
Kola Ota Jones Mee Suttner

to
Fab Ryan
Ota Jones Mertesacker Daniels Mee
Cout Salah Sane Dacoure Surman
Kane Kun Diouf
No
May I ask why?
So Jones isn't injured then. Keep?
Ofcourse
Next two aren't great but after that he has some decent fixture. Plus you never know Man U could park the bus as usual against big teams and pick up a cleanie.
Kane + Aguero + ?
Who's the best third striker option ? Premium Morata, mid Vardy/Bobby or cheap Tammy and upgrade midfield
Tammy and upgrade
Like Bobby for the next two weeks. Bit s**t or bust, it could kick start his season (like I hoped bullying that Portuguese team would, before Liverpool forgot to turn up at Wembley)
1 shot on goal... thats great value
Otamendi?
David Nugent?
Kane had 2 shots on goal
Sterling and Atsu or Salah (c) and Rich -4?
Have SIlva and Aguero
Take the hit
I'd sell Silva over Sterling. Actually I did.
I have too much invested in Silva - plus like his nailedness* - Sterling is more explosive (I do see the advantage)
Sterling is just soo much.more involved when he plays. Also O got a decent bench atm so if he doesn't feature it's really not that big of a deal. Had to sell one of them to make room for Aguero.
The bench makes all the different. Just hoping Silva can continue to be consistent and chip in the weeks that Sterling explodes.
Yesh
Could do Sterling to Salah and play Shaqiri and Atsu.
Elliot
Bellerin Cedric Jones Alonso
Salah Shaqiri Eriksen Ritchie
Lukaku Kane
Fabianski Abraham Carroll Tuanzabe
2 FT & 0.1 ITB
What would be a good 2 FT punt this week? Ins and outs?
Bellerin to Stones and Ritchie to Richarlison
Anything need doing here? 1FT. 1.5mil itb, WC intact until GW12
Foster/Elliot
Jones, Daniels, Naughton, Yoshida
Eriksen, Sterling, Ritchie
Kane, Lukaku, Jesus
(TC, Stephens, 4.0)
I would get Richarlison
Repost
Really need some help out here. Cheers in advance 🙂
Elliot
Ward Kola Bertrand Stones
Eriksen Sterling Choupo
Kane Lukaku Vardy
Foster Ritchie Carroll Long
1FT 0 ITB
should i do
A) Lukaku & Eriksen > Aguero & Coutinho
B) Eriksen & Ritchie > Coutinho & Richarlison play 3-4-3 bench bertrand
C) Lukaku > Morata
D) Any other combo
E) Save
Tempted to keep. Or just Lukaku to Aguero.
Do we reckon Trippier is nailed? 4 assists already.
No. Himself, Aurier and then Bavies and Rose will be rotated as wing backs this season imo.
That's frustrating. He's a great pick other than that.
He did the corners, last match. Well. 🙂
Yep..and I have a 5.6m defender slot available on my WC.
Might as well - Can easily move down at that price if rotation gets annoying.
I rate Trippier (liked him at Burnley) I think he'll get most of the starts but Aurier is always there in the shadows.
No. Not with Aurier around. But he's still a good pick imo
He’s had good returns but surely the wingbacks at Spurs are prone to rotation. Trippier/Aurier on the right, Davies/Rose on the left. If your fine with the rotation risk then go for it though, when he plays he’s capable of double digit returns.
Nope. I believe Poch prefers Aurier.
Dunk or Duffy?
Hello!
Elliot Fabianski
Davies Jones D.Luiz Ward Mbemba
Silva Sterling Richarlison Choupo-Moting King
Vardy Aguero Kane
Sterling > Salah for -4 or GTG?
Playing WC: Fabianski/Elliot - Otamendi / Jones / Mee / Duffy / Hunemier - Eriksen / Salah / Richarlison / David Silva / Surman - Aguero/ Kane / Ayew
Any advice? Thanks
Looks good
Anyone else think Mou will play more offensive?
Whats the point in parking the bus if you are 5 points behind and probably more after Spurs game.
I don't think he has the players right now. SO many injuries. Could play Martial, Mata, Rashford, Kaku but Matic will be left solo in the midfield.
No. There’s little point, but that’s Mou for you.
Quick quiz(no cheating 😉 ):
Who are the only five unbeaten teams at home? 😀

😀
Shouldn't Burnley be in there?
Nope.
Watford?
0-6 City
Lost in GW2.
Utd, City, Liverpool, Arsenal, West Brom
Correct! 😀
Copies my hard thought and steals my thunder 😉
Is this good enough for next week with a -4?
Elliot (Krul)
Bavies Jones Otamendi (Fernandez Rosenior)
Salah Sterling Richarlison Gross (Carroll)
Kane Aguero Vardy
WC still available to get rid of Vardy Sterling Bavies Krul for Morata Dilva Ward Speroni as well, what do you think?
Looks great. I don't think I have the TV for that team.
It's not that high, 102 or something I think, but cheers! Wildcard can be postponed then!
yeah looks really good
Cheers, like the wildcard team as well but might be just needed more in the future
Should I do Sterling to Salah (-4) to have a Liverpool player?
Team is:
Elliot
Walker Jones Simpson Kola
Sterling Atsu Eriksen
Kane Kaku Jesus
Subs: Fabianski, Carroll, Chalobah, Mbemba
Not imo.
So I will C Jesus ?
Planning something similar. See below.
I've Captained Alonso the last two weeks and I will be doing the same again this week. Please fill in G/W 10 points prediction.
G/W 8 2 points
G/W 9 2 points
G/W 10 ?
-2. 😉
😯
1 pt
Impossible
32
Is the correct answer. 🙂
Gnome magic sent to your team for a monster haul this week.
🙂
I forgot to add they're playing Bournemouth.
I almost did it this GW but got Morata(C) in for a hit and got same points.
18 pts
2 points
2 at most.
