Time to roll out our first post-Gameweek delve into the 2017/18 members’ data and assess some of the stand-out performers over the opening round of matches.
Tottenham’s top scorer misses chances aplenty as the transfers-out pick up pace. Man City’s front two and Liverpool’s summer signing from Roma arrive for analysis, while Chelsea and Palace’s left wing-backs also make the cut thanks to forward-thinking performances.
Done similar....
Danilo and zaha to lowe and mhki.
Not ideal first week hit - but I think sensible medium term moves...
Thinking similar.
Why not Zanka? Just the penos?
Mkhi will bite people badly when the CL starts I think.
Mourinho loves to rotate when it comes to the CL - and he loves to rotate his attacking mids the most (Mata, Martial, Rashford, Mikhi)
I think Lukaku is safe as he typically likes his spine of the team to stay the same:
de Gea
Bailly
Matic, Pogba
Lukaku
Pogba is certainly more nailed, would be very surprised if he outscores Mkhi. It's possible of course. I'm expecting Man Utd to best the swans 3-0, wait and see is a great move. If you have problems though, probably worth a hit now more than ever whilst prices are at base level.
Mkhi is going to get rotated and that's what's putting me off him.
Mou had never given him a consistent run of starts.
That's why I went Pogba, he will start every game he's fit, time will tell how it pans out
Moi has also pulled him off after 50-60 mins on a number of occasions
He has now had a season to acclimatise.
Should play the majority of mins to champs league....thats when wildcard kicks in...
Although now he will more than likely get a run of starts.
Will Jones keep his place?
Yeah I just said above:

Mikhi was absolutely brilliant in the Europa League aswell last season, even with poor league form. He suits the European style of football more than the PL.
When it comes to rotation between league and Europe, Mikhi will be the first to be benched for Lingard/Martial/Mata. Just far too much competition.
This
Sure, but why are we looking beyond the next 3-4 Gameweeks with him? I'm not, I'm getting him for here and now, riding out United's fixtures and then looking again when he becomes more of a risk.
I think he'll start vs Swansea and Leicester - I might get a dcent points return and 0.2 in profit by the time Gameweek 4 comes around. I'll have another look then.
Lukaku changes the dynamic.
Mkhit with Lukaku as striker is the game changer. He will do well with pace up front.
Rotation is an issue though I guess
Amusing how everyone jumping on Mkhik, his problem has been consistency, kind of hard to gauge that after 1 whole game
Amusing how people want a player who will do well and garner points? hmmmm.....
His stats at Dortmund were very impressive. He's more settled, Utd will score more, it's logical...in my opinion.
He was consistently good for some of the first game.
Amusing how you judge a quality player based on a patchy first season in a new league who now he seems to have found his rhythm ?
Sure I agree but I'm not committing to him long term I'm getting him while he and United have some confidence and good fixtures. Plus I'm already getting a first rise from him. Get anything vs Swansea or Leicester and he'll go up 0.2 over the break and then I would perhaps look elsewhere to avoid paying 0.3 over the odds. Getting him now protects against that and with no one tempting at 7.0 it made sense.
Can see your point Mark.
My only way in would be to sell Gabbiadini (WHU) to afford him.
Otherwise I'm looking at Ramsey.
Tough calls.
KDB -> Miki ? 🙂 (FT)
I did that as I had other city coverage in Jesus.
Zaha & Gabbidini to.....
A. Brady & Firmino
B. Miki & Mounie
C. Miki & Firmino
*C. Mooy & Firmino
C
C
No brainer if you have the cash
Unfortunately I don't so my dilemma is picking between Mikhi and Firmino (A or B)
C
I read B as "Micky Mouse"!
Really liking my team for this gw and get to save my ft. feel a good start to this season coming in. With 2ft I'll get in some Spurs assets next gw what's your thoughts?
Heaton
Walker, Bertrand, Daniels, Moreno
Mane, Salah, Mkhitaryan, Ritchie
Lukaku(c), Aguero
Elliot, Quaner, Dann, Carroll
Which one to bench?
A) Bertrand
B) Daniels
C) Jones
D) Mee
E) TAA
Wow, that's one tough call!
I haven't brought Jones in yet (have Dummett) and might not for this reason. OR.. 5 at the back lol
E
D.
Zaha to tadic?
Best 4.5 Defender to pair;
Have
Ake, Yoshida, 4.0, 4.0
I'm leaning to Zanka?.. has decent fixture
Is he nailed for now?
Wow very budget defence
its basically comes down to
RLC & Danilo
or
Mkhi & Zanka/Lowe
geez thats weak
Will give me this front 7!
KDB, Salah, Mkhi, Willian,
Lukaku, Jesus, Firmino
and will try bring in Jones to stregthen.
good piint hah
?
Strongly advise against that weak a defence + no spurs cover
Anyone has VR ID ?
Contemplating Ake > Jones. Thoughts?
I'm looking at that next week!
Any Kane(c)'s this week?
Chelsea in disarray
Here. This article convinced me. He's due.
Kane (C) or KdB (C) for me. I love taking captain punts at the start of the season.
Very tempted to do Zaha -> Mooy. Mooy (C) every week a couple years ago in A-League fantasy brings back good memories 😛
go it mate mooy is a beast
That penalty against Liverpool today wow. I could do that.
Foster elliott
Kola Stephens Dawson dummett* mee
Jwp Carroll Willian debruyne zaha*
Lukaku Kane firmino
Thinking jwp and zaha to rlc and mkhi ?
I don't know why one wants rlc in their team.. Is he good?
He is, and he was playing up front for most of the game. However, without Zaha I fear Palace will have no effective attacking threat.
So dump benteke?
A. Zaha + Gabbiadini -> Mkhitaryan + Mounie
or
B. Zaha -> Ramsey
Exaclty what I'm looking at and I'm not sure where to go with it 🙁
Ditto.
Plus I'm thinking Zaha + Gabbiadini -> Mooy/Atsu + Firmino
I'm actually considering that too. Option C 😉
Not Atsu though. He ain't nailed and I heard he rarely performs
He had a great pre-season, no?
Tough call isn't it
I'm giving Gabbi a week
Anyone got the link to Mark's Team? or the league that the moderators take part in? i like having a nosy at their picks from time to time. 🙂
Appreciate it if anyone has it.
Does Valencia Zaha >> Davies Mikhi (-4) a good move?
I also have Lukaku and Kane
Tadic worth it?
Whose more nailed on Moreno or TAA?
TAA until Clyne is back from injury and match fit. Moreno faces more threat to his position at LB.
Zanka or Lowe?
Morning, night owls! Just listened to the scoutcast and am tempted to follow Mark's lead in replacing Zaha with Mkhi in for a hit, with Jones as the enabler. What do you think is the best move for my squad? Do we reckon Jones is nailed for now?
Foster
Bailly Bertrand Dawson
KDB Willian Zaha JWP
Kane Lukaku Firmino
Elliot Carroll Suttner Hunemeier
A) Bailly/Zaha -> Jones/Mkhi (-4)
B) JWP/Zaha -> RLC/Mkhi (-4)
C) Just Zaha -> Ramsey (free)
Probably C
I've not ears the SC but does Mark have Pog too or not?
Mark has Lukaku, Jones and Mkhi now, so no room for Pogba
Zaha + Ritchie >>> Miki + Atsu?
Zaha Replacement
A.) Ramsey
B.) Redmond
C.) Mooy
C
A
Resigned myself to taking a hit with Zaha, so which do you prefer of these?
A - Zaha & Danilo > Mikh & Zanka/Lowe
B - Zaha & JRod > RLC & Firmino
Thanks.
I'm looking at A..
Zanka or Lowe?
Ramsey or Tadic and why?
So who do I put in for Zaha? Nothing itb, so has to be 7 or less.
Taking into account Danilo was my placeholder for Trippier.
A) Zaha > Mooy/Ince
B) Zaha > Mkhi, Danilo > Lowe
Where can I see that damned highlights from the last GW???
Zaha > Tadic. Do it now or wait another day?
Not fancy Willian?
Night all.
6 years, 8 months agoZaha is probably out till sept 10th, that's too long to keep. Try and rectify this with 1 transfer, if you have 2 issues e.g Danilo Zaha I probably would recommend a hit.
Mhki looks like the 9.5m man FPL thought he was last year, Utd will probably score 30 more goals this year than last. Fancy him? I do.
If you have to take a hit, look at what Mark has done. Valencia > Jones. Sideways? Yes, but with a massive 1.5m banked. Zaha > Mhki.
Mhki looks like he's underpriced, just like Firmino. These two should be your top attacking targets. It's all about bang for your buck guys.
