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.
No.
Answered your own question... 🙂
Cheers guys
One more, for the road. 😉
Which is the team which has lost the MOST matches, at HOME?
Place?
He said AT HOME!
Easy, Swansea
Yep.
Anyone for Fabianski? 😉
Sold him 🙂
Good man. 😀
He's been a gem for me roatated with Elliot
Didn't expect that. 🙁
That is, or should be, the real purpose of these little quizzes ... 🙂
Swansea?
Correct. 4.
Another one 😀
😆
Might double up on Brighton with Ryan if Brighton keep a couple of clean sheets in the next 3
Welcome to my World ... 😀
A) Aguero + Dunk rotating with Ward
B) Jesus + Choupo Moting with Dunk on the bench
A
A easy
How would you rate this WC team / any feedback?
Fabianski - Elliot
Otamendi - Jones - Kiko - Mee - Dunk
Eriksen - Sterling - Coutinho - Richarlison - RLC
Aguero - Kane - Abraham
0.0 ITB
V good
Looks very good. Just monitor Jones this week.
Will do, thanks.
Love it. Everyone except Fabianki IMO, and I personally prefer Salah man over Coutinho.
Any particular reason?
You can play Elliot pretty much every week. I might even go Speroni if I was on a WC. Else I prefer Ryan/Pope, even as a double up.
Salah's going to deliver more effectively and consistently than Coutinho IMO.
I phrased that weirdly. I mean I might go
Speroni +Elliot - and play Elliot every week.
Ryan/Pope + Elliot - even though you already own BHA/BUR def
Is Speroni first choice keeper at Palace now though? Could be good on a WC as you say to upgrade elsewhere but not sure who I would tbh.
Same with Pope, is Heaton back soon? Haven't checked so I've no idea.
Cheers.
Could always make the 0.1 up by switching to a 4.5 GK and upgrading Coutinho to Salah.
Thinking Eriksen -> Salah and Choupo -> Richarlison
Davies/Ota/Monreal/Ward/Clark
Eriksen/Haz/Sterling/Choupo/RLC
Kane/Jesus/Ladapo
Thoughts fellas?
Not keen on losing Eriksen but could be a good short term move
My thinking is I want to give Hazard a little bit more time (got him in just 2 weeks ago on WC), and if he shits the bed I can downgrade him and get a Spurs mid back in.
FT or hit ?
No hit.
Go for it.
Trippier taking some corners and FKs too
Duffy or Dunk?
Dunk
slam dunk
Dunky
Duffy.
Duffy, better with baps so far, more goal threat
Differing views on goal threat here. I assumed Dunk was more likely to score.
Which 2 players should I sell? Then I can decipher who I can buy...
Elliot
Bellerin Cedric Jones Alonso
Salah Shaqiri Eriksen Ritchie
Lukaku Kane
Fabianski Abraham Carroll Tuanzabe
alonso, bellerin
I’d sell Alonso + Shaquiri...
Hello!
Playing WC: Fabianski / Elliot - Otamendi / Jones / Mee / Duffy / Hunemier - Eriksen / Salah / Richarlison / David Silva / Surman - Aguero /
Kane / Ayew
Any advice? Thanks
Jesus+Sterling+Bavies to Aguero+Coutinho/Salah+Kiko(-4)?
Good or not?
yep
Not a fan
Alternatively could do Jesus to Aguero only.
No
Alternatively could do Jesus to Aguero only.
I wouldn't imo
Alternatively could do Jesus to Aguero only.
Dont like it. All of those players could very likely play at the weekend.
Bench one
A) Maguire ( EVE )
B) Jones ( TOT )
C) Cedric ( bri )
Cedric
Cedric
B
Want to say Jones,not sure about that though
B
Definitely play C
Leaning towards B. I think Spurs will score
Waiting for other replies
Stat of the day: Liverpool have conceded 1 goal at home, and 16 (the most) away.
Moreno this week.. ignore him at your peril.
Moreno next week.. keep him at your peril.
Gomez yo hair. 😉
His BAP potential might increase this week, might play CB.
Increase??? He is already the fastest earner ... 😀
Do we not think A Robertson will start this one vs HUD over Moreno?
He got both Crystal Palace and Burnley at home, and LIV have Champions League midweek next week.
Play him this week for CS and next week for attacking returns
Following on from Doosra's theme :-
Which is the only team in the English main leagues other than Man City to be undefeated this season ?
Wolves
Nope
They wish.
Everyone will google that!
People who bet on football will know this.
[cough] Shrewsbury town.....? Just a guess mind.....
It's the guys at the top of the third, ain't it?
Yep League one or as us oldies think of it The Third Division. ☺
😆 Can't remember their name ... a senior moment ...
Clue - Paul Hurst
Oh, it's the Shrews ... Boris is right. 🙂
I'm awarding it to you Doos as you didn't have the League One table in front of you at the time. ☺
I know Exeter City were doing well cos they’re quite local to me...?
Yes doing well but have been beaten.
Wrexham?
Boris nailed it when he Googled it . ☺
I happened to have the league one table open on another tab....
Honest 😳
Shrewsbury.
Quick question. Do you think that Stones is good value if the budget can't stretch to Otamendi?
I know Kompany is back soon but I can't see Pep dropping him.
Kompany has been due back a while. I think he’s broken.
If I couldn't afford Otamendi I'd definitely consider Stones.
Ok thx
Otamendi is better because of goal threat and BPS, but Stones is a decent option.
To be fair, I think goal threat is about equal between the 2. Stones has the two goals in champions league, scored a couple in the preseason. Otamendi has gotten more shots/goals in the league so far, but the sample is small enough that it could just be random. They're both in the box on set pieces.
Yeah i really tried to fit him in but it just doesn't work without downgrading a premium mid & that's not happening so Stones is the only option
Would you do Jesus + Davies to Aguero + Dunk?
Ryan
Azpi Otamendi Ward Jones
Salah Silva Richarlison
Kane Aguero Vardy
Elliot Dunk RLC Carroll
Yes I would
And captain Aguero?
Yes
First check how city fields in cup games then decide.
Personally I prefer Aguero .
Don't think the cup game will make much of a difference. He could play Aguero just to get more minutes.
Play one:
A- Atsu
B- Bertrand
B
A
B
Those with RLC, are you playing him vs Wham?
Probably
G2g ,already took a hit as mid was week .
Forster Mee,otamendi,Jones,Naughton,mbemba Coutinho,silva,Richarlison,Atsu,Eriksen
Aguero,Morata,Tammy
Is there a need of any major urgent change ??
1.6 ITB but saving in case Kane becomes necessary
With Dyche seemingly the top runner for the Everton job, is it time to ditch Burnley defensive assets?
I'd like to see Giggs have a go, can't see Dyche moving personally.
Reported.
Seconded. 😀
Perfect opening PL coaching role for him.
Me neither. Why leave Burnley to go to Everton? Burnley are 8th in the league, Everton 18th. It's simple maths.
If he goes, definitely - the man's a genius, behind that bluff exterior.
I would like to be a fly on the wall when he meets Keane again, though ... 😆
Cant see Burnley being dumb enough to allow Dyche to leave mid season. Think Unsworth will get a result against dire Leicester and that will give the Everton board some more time.
This.
What’s Pogba up to when is he back?
Time for would you rather
A. Kane, Morata, Aguero + Ritchie
or
B. Kane, Morata, Lukaku + Richarlison
Tricky one, eh?
a
What if I told you I could get Kane, Morata, Aguero + Richarlison but it means a -4
I'd do this.
Given NEW fixture(s) I'd wait & do it for free, but -4 not the end of the world.
What if it was actually a -8 but I told you guys it's a -4 since everyone hates hits around here 😆
A of these 2
Sane or sterling or Silva
I prefer sane as explosive as sterling but more nailed due to mendy absence. Though Silva more nailed than sane less explosive
Would like to know preferences and reasons
I would go Sané if he doesn't play tonight.
Depends on your bench & patience. Are you happy to ride out occasional no-shows and cameos?
I am a bit surprised y Sterling preferred to sane
In the community
He's been more nailed, and scoring. I think Sane's a far better footballer and have an aversion to Sterling, but pts win fpl.
This.Silva is nailed and can be a steady point supplier ,sane & sterling are explosive but not nailed
I’ve just stuck Silva in.
That’s all the City I’m willing to take at present....
But y mark prefers Sterling
I don’t want to start messing around with my team to put players in that I’ll always be worried about playing...
Best defender for under 4.8 mill?
Naughton
I have him and I hope there's a better one than him!
Ward
Ward.
Mee
I like Tarkowski...
Dann at 4.7 could be good
Not sure if it's been mentioned but evening papers suggesting Jones is fit and in squad tonight
Is giving Aguero captain too risky any week?
Ya but may payoff as Kane and lukaku lock horns
my team atm:
Elliot (Forster)
Walker, Kola, Suttner (Lascelles, Mee)
Mkhi, Gross, Sterling, Choupo (RLC)
Lukaku, Vardy, Kane
Thinking of switching Suttner to Duffy as it seems his place in the starting 11 is 100%, and Mkhi to Richarlison for a -4 hit. Leaves me 2.1m in the bank to potentially upgrade Vardy in a week or two.
Good move, or am I not investing enough in my midfield?
to Dunk*
Needs Salah
Just do mkhi for now put mee first sub no need to take a hit
yeah, seems like the sensible thing to do.
think I might take a hit next week, though.
vardy > abraham and rlc > salah sounds pretty exciting >:-)
Can't wait for the scoutcast tonight hopefully it will help with my transfers this week
Can't believe the arrogance of Giggs thinking that he should be able to walk straight into a PL managerial post. Surely he needs to cut his teeth in the lower leagues first.
I know it's not FPL related, but agree 100%. Even if not the lower leagues, then an assistant manager/coaching role or even taking charge of the U-23s for example rather than sitting out waiting for his "name" to land him a role.
He did learn under LVG for two years, which is a nice resume builder, but ever since then he has had no continuity.
+ 42. The bloke's an absolute menace.
Zidane says hello...
But agreed.
Zidane managed Real Madrid's B team for 2+ years though! Giggs couldn't manage organizing a Christmas party.
Hilarious really. These Utd players are quite rightly legends at their own club but they don't seem to realise nobody else gives a sh1t
Which one to play this weekend?
A. Jones - TOT home
B. Choupo - WAT away
B
Which 1
A) Ryan
Azpi Otamendi Jones
Salah Silva Richarlison Choupo
Kane Jesus Vardy
Elliot Ward Dunk Carroll
B) Ryan
Azpi Otamendi Ward Jones
Salah Silva Richarlison
Kane Aguero Vardy
Elliot Dunk RLC Carroll
What's more likely - Burnley CS or Choupo G/A? Pretty similar odds imo.
Nobody really knows on Aguero vs Jesus this week.
Kiko or Duffy, who's offers better rotation?
6 years, 6 months agoRitchie - Richarlison (-4)?????
Could do it for free on GW 12 WC ,and Ritchie has decent fixtures in Gw 10 and 11
