We turn to the Opta numbers next and roll out our usual post-Gameweek members’ article looking at some of the standout players across the previous round of fixtures.
Sergio Aguero, Jamie Vardy and Eden Hazard’s run of goals arrive under analysis, while we also cast an eye over Spurs and Everton’s recent displays in attack.
Meanwhile, cut-price midfielders from Brighton and Watford are finding form as both sides prepare for a run of four home matches in the next six Gameweeks.
No
Nice, two matches down and we safe
FA Cup and still to go.....
Bottomed. Best option til end of season in FPL?
A) Sane
B) Arnautovic
C) Ramsey
Ta
They all have their issues. Of that bunch, Ramsey.
Arnie imo
Arnie
Sane
Reckon Karius could keep his place in the Prem until the end of the season?
Klopp said he would
I don't think so - one mistake and the mig is back
Stat attack - Liverpool have made 59 changes to their starting XI so far this season in the league; only one team have made more in their opening 16 games to a Premier League campaign (Man Utd; 68 in 2001-02).
He will
What a performance. Very proud
What an outstanding performance from eriksen and dembele
Serge aurier though. Really, really poor
Glad he’s banned for the 2nd leg
Yeah. Right back is an issue
Not really
Dier was no better
Yeah, he had a couple of dodgy moments.
Great performance. Poor from Aurier, Sanchez didn't play that well either. I want Toby back ASAP!
Thought Lamela was really good as well, great to see him back playing football
Is this mad...
Son + Alonso + Romeu (4-4-2) ->> Eriksen + Long + Arnautovic (3-5-2)
Son To erikson not needed imo
Change Long to Lowton ?
It is a bit mad ...
Son no longer nailed with Lamela and Lucas Moura around?
More rotation going forward I guess. Lamela have been really good, so I can see him getting quite a few minutes in the next games.
Shaqiri or Arny?
As a West Ham fan arnie was running like usain bolt v Watford looks on firm so arnie (I gave Shaq from 2 weeks back can't afford arnie )
Shaq also plays GW31if that's relevant
thanks mate.
Too risky to have Son now
I guess after that 4-0 none of my UCL Fantasy assets of Man City will start next game vs Basel - Ota, Ederson, Sterling, KDB - cue a rest...
yeah i had the same 3 above except gundogan instead of ederson. gundogan with an unexpected brace!
Was the Spurs game any good?
Sounded like a good game. I was watching the City game which to be honest was a case of City just going through the motions as they are on a completely different level than Basle
Fantastic game.
Good game, Juve ain’t the same without Bonucci and Barzagli...
Also, Spurs not the same without Berbatov
Great game - juve missing key players but huge result for Spurs - Gonzalo missed pen for his hat trick but Spurs also had chances to win
First half was incredible
Only 11 GWs left, trailing 120pts in my ML... Time to start thinking differently? Gundogan for instance?
Think differently, but be cautious of him in particular. Not nailed on, likely to have a blank gameweek coming up. Assist machine though.
He has goals in him too, two great goals today!
120 pts in 11 is still far from safety for your rival, don't do anything too crazy. I've cut a 100 pt lead down to a 60 in the last 3 gws. Good luck
LIV have 3 home games from next 4 so I think Firmino & VVD worth backing if people above you don't have? I assume they all have Mo
I've gone Pickford GK until season end hoping Sam bus parking begins again soon
Both are gambles as defensively both been poor but if it pays off happy days
u r not going to catch up 120 pts. mate. That would be a miracle.
Great to know Aguero has been over-achieving isn't it?. Doesn't make me feel any better for not having him when he over-achieved though unfortunately.
Destroyed my season... First time I didn’t have him too in like 4 years... 🙁
Yep wiped any gains i made in my ML in that game. Closed the gap to 40 in a couple MLS and now back to 8o in one and over 60 in another. Need differentials now. Do have all my chips tho.
2 from:
-firmino
-auba
-vardy
Defo Firmino and I have a feeling with ARS good fixtures after city Auba with mesut and Mkhi feeding him he could go large
Already have vardy, don't know whether to swap for auba or not
I'd stick with Vardy.
Better option?
A) Mee, Robertson, Eriksen
or B) Van Dijk, Davies, Mkhi
Still searching for the holy grail I see. Davies being a rotation risk isn't great. Does Mee> Lowton allow VVD?
Scoutcast justification society!
Only kidding, all fair... but slightly amusing!
Any suggestions to improve this current WC team?
Lloris Foster
Monreal VVD Hegazi Naughton Lowton
KDB Sterling Salah Eriksen Walcott
Kane Firmino Niasse
Lloris > Fabianski & upgrade def
I desire Spurs defensive cover, and they rotate well. If a wing back was nailed, sure. I can't see there being a big points difference between a CB and GK so this seems the best option. (I have been considering it, thanks)
Poss no goalie for GW31 at the mo but looks good - maybe Hennessy 4.3 as he may play GW 31 saves you a transfer ? Saves west brom double up
Grrreat point. I haven't checked their fixtures but Foster covers Lloris well. (If I kept them long enough). I obviously have time to react to the FA cup.
Doucoure over Walcott is an option too. Could put more funds into defence... would love to squeeze Vardy in but alas.
Morning guys 🙂 could you pick a team for me?
a) WC Team
Foster - De gea
Naughton - Dunk - Francis - Dummet - Mariappa
Mcarthur - Salah - KDB - Ward prowse - Sterling
Kane - Firmnino - Aguero
b) Current team
Speroni - De gea
Alonso - Otamandi - Kabasale - Daniels - Dunk
Mcarthur - Salah - Lingard - Walcott - Sterling
Kane - Ayew - Aguero
c) Any ideas other player I should focus on getting
ll I want from the FA cup games is for Southampton to beat WBA and/or United to beat Huddersfield. Not much to ask for happiness 🙂
If there's an upset in another game, then only Southampton to beat WBA will do so I don't have to waste a transfer to sort out the Speroni/Hennessey combo (or go without a keeper in GW31).
What would be the ideal situation for you?
Leicester lose
If that happens, I expect I'll see Auba in my team in GW29, and Mahrez before GW31. Already got Wilshere and Vardy, so I wouldn't mind this Leicester losing either 🙂
Wow. I really love wilshere as you can see my username
But how on earth you bought him for fpl?!
Got him after his run of 8 games being the best player in the Arsenal team, with news of Auba and Mikhi's imminent arrivals, I figured a new formation would allow him more freedom going forward and there would be a new impetus with the new players to mix within the final third.
Then he played 15 mins in the next 2 matches lol.
Don't worry
He is nailed
😐
Hope so
*If there's an upset in another game, then only United to beat Huddersfield
Only 3 games to be on in GW31.
Because FH chip? Or because no FH chip?
Basically what Pras says below. Maximum carnage and people wasting the FH chip instead of getting away with playing 6-8 players.
No upsets i.e. max disruption resulting in 3 games only
This would lead to masses to FH and get in the big guns like Wat/Stoke defenders, Hudd attackers etc.
While I can go with my 6-7 players and save FH
Good point, but I see masses using FH chip with 4 or 5 games to get Wilson, Benteke (and Mane etc). And to be fair, these players could score big, and it'll be difficult to go into the GW without enough lottery tickets.
Only 3 games means people will get more benefit from their FH chips compared to if they use the chip with 4 or 5 games (assuming they have more players in the latter case), so I'd like enough games to find the balance between tempting people to use it and the benefit of using it.
Also I think I can get 11 good players with 4 or 5 fixtures to maximise my benefit from NOT using the chip haha.
"Only 3 games means people will get more benefit from their FH chips compared to if they use the chip with 4 or 5 games" - HOW?
Eg. Liv - Wat - 3-0 (Only need Salah, Firm, VVD) - So people with 2/3 WAT with FH is a waste
Similarly, EVE-STK - 1-1 (Only need Shaq, Wally/Siggy). People with STK def is a waste
These are assumptions of course, but dont see how having more games helps those who dont FH
Well would you be more tempted to use the free hit chip if you had fewer players playing in GW31? I would.
If I can get 11 players (15 starters) with a FH chip. This is a bigger swing from 4 players than it is from, say, 7 players.
That's all I mean. The more players you would have missing without the FH chip, the more benefit you can get from using it.
so sad granville isnt in the scoutcast
Gardening leave.
Firing squad :'(
Thoughts on these moves over the next 2 GW's ?
GW28: Alonso + Otamendi + Lingard -> Mawson + Bauer + Shaqiri (-4)
GW29: Wilson -> Aubamayang
Leaves my with the following team for GW29
Pope
Bauer Mawson Gomez
Shaqiri Salah Sterling Son
Aubamayang Aguero Firmino
Fabianski Gudmundsson Duffy Mee
Anyone bringing in Eriksen concerned he may be rested in the Huddersfield Home game 3 days before the CL 2cnd leg?
Is son to Walcott now worth a free transfer?
Thanks
Why would you do it now?
Not now - but in a week's time.
Son is now rotation threat and it's guess work to know if he will play any given match...
Walcott nailed and plays gw31
How to get in Kane?
A) Lapado + Hazard + Alonso ---> Kane + Mili + Bauer (-8)
B) Aguero + Hazard ---> Kane + Eriksen (-4)
C) Aguero + Jones ---> Kane + Bauer (-4)
C
I want to see City and PSG play 180 minutes of footy.
Breaking News: Granville punished with a 3 cast suspension following ruckus with fans...
What would you do if this was your team?
Adrian
Martina VVD chilwell moreno
Salah shaqiri walcott
Kane kun vardy
Subs: Speroni jones b.silva
My early thought is to bring firmino and toby for kun and moreno.
And next week b.silva to mahrez
Seems good?
I’d have a party.
Decent team.
Exaggerating
B.silva and kun and moreno should go
Moreno jesus how long have you carried him for
I thought he will get his place back and bought him 5 gws ago 😐
For 2k I done MC win league /PSG champions league / Villa championship.
Wolves gonna do me.
Wc time any thoughts?
Foster-Lossl
Daniels-VVd-Naughton-Lowton-Simpson
-KDB-Salah-Haz-Sterling-Mili
-Kane-Firm-Mounie
0.1itb.
Thanks all.
GKs and defence made my eyes water
Not flash to be honest. I was expecting a beefy attack after seeing that defensive setup
Mounie to niasse gives you a gw31 player and saves you 0.9 to sort your keepers?
Ayew + Sanchez > Doucoure + Kane ? Exact money...
DDG
Otamendi Jones Bauer
Walcott Salah Sterling Sanchez
Aguero Firmino Ayew
Bench:
Elliot Milivojevic Ogbonna Holgate
I'll be doing something similar with Sanchez and Murray for the same frontline. I'm holding until I see what City look like closer to deadline. If it looks like Aguero will be playing, I'm doing it for a hit.
Hearing Jesus is back on Monday for an FA cup match.... what do we do now Kun owners???
Wait and see if he gets through it.
Leave transfers as late as possible.
Rotation has to be an issue with Chelsea so soon after Arsenal league game.
Yes
6 years, 2 months agoNo injuries at Tottenham, any for city?
