Our brand new series, plundering the new Referee data soon to be available to our members, continues with an analysis of the Gameweek 16 appointments.
We scan the assignments and attempt to pick out the key pairings, assessing the data to decipher the potential impact of certain whistlers on their respective fixtures and the players in line to either suffer or benefit as a result.
I don't trust Morata, highly overrated and YC waiting to happen with his theatrics
Have you not been around today? The general thinking is Morata will start on the bench
Why would he be on the bench?
not exactly current affairs are you? he pulled up in training, though has travelled. With shit loads of fixtures ahead, Conte could easily bench him as precautionary measure.
Had to take scans (see tweets)
Besides that, he has played a lot of games, think he will sit this one out, thought he would have been rested midweek, Conte has mentionned before that he will rotate his entire squad
Agree
Morata starts. Off @ 60 imo
Why would Conte risk him if he is an injury concern though
I think it is time Morata get some rest,Hazard was rested.
Playing a lot of 90min games in a row,even if healthy he may be rested.
Just guessing
If he was an injury concern he wouldn't travel at all
If there is any risk, he won't be played imo. West Ham shouldn't be a hard game and Morata is too important for chelsea to lose over this busy period. Maybe om the bench and brought on if needed
Conte wants a piece of the Wenger / Lacazette action
* fake news action
Sane>Coutinho?
I would for free
Sane has Swansea during the weekday!
That's the move I have done this week I do think Mane will out score coutinho this week if you have the funds do Mane
Coutinho may outscore Sane this weekend, but midweek I reckon Coutinho has a good chance of being rested while Sane will be tearing apart Swansea
What do you reckon guys? I have 2fts.
A) Morata and Moting out for Hazard and Lewin
B) Fernandez for Mariappa (making money for future moves).
C) Schmeichel for Gomes.
Bottomed
2 FT's
DDG & David Silva > Speroni & Hazard? I'll leave me 0.0 ITB
Repost second to last post on previous page.
Hi All,
So last week took out Speroni and Morata for Courtois and Jesus ended in nightmare. So done Sane >Coutinho this week for free should I hold out make no hits this week?
Team
Courtois
Ward Daniels Alonso
Salah Hazard Coutinho Rich RIC
Kane Jesus
Elliot C-Lewin Moreno Hun
sane to ramsey or coutinho ? or keep sane
Do you think Sane will start mid week vs Swansea. If yes, then keep. If no, then it's a decent transfer
Still worth transferring Coutinho in?
Or is it too risky due to the fact he wasn't pictured training?
I've done it this evening for Sterling, for better or worse...(FT)
Pool have different training programmes for players. It's complex. Don't read too much into him not being pictured.
Alright cheers
Pens for pool just too much a draw
Think Man.utd will score in last 15min with high balls to Felaini+Ibra+Lukaku waiting them very close to each other.
Have no idea how game will go,will Utd defend from start or press higher up.
Any predictions?
City will put on a masterclass.
Looks like that but Mou may put masterclass defending with Jones back and try to hurt them with long balls late in the game.
City cant cover those 3 beasts from getting almost all long balls.
I hope City hit them for six again
Kiko or Zeegs?
See HT, I'm looking at Kiko for the baps and giggles
In the Kane vs. Salah vs. Hazard debate, does it make sense to dismiss Hazard due to the fact his ownership is so much lower that a haul should see a rise without captaincy?
And to the 'captain who you think will score the most points brigade', I have no idea who will, I'm just trying to use a process of elimination 🙂
It's low because he's not been back long as you know and others have been firing. I get your point but it's the quality of the player, his form and his opposition that surely matter most rather than covering ownership risk?
But all players involved in the decision are equally as good vs. Opponents equally as bad so ownership might just be a deciding factor.
Hazard is in great form but Kane hasn't exactly been going through a drought either
There's something wrong with Spuds though, Wembley, maybe wages, Rose, something's not right. I get the Salah pick, something about Klopp, he just doesn't give me full confidence in capping any pool. Funny how we decide things?
Yep. Any little thing at all can decide it 🙂
I don't think it makes sense to dismiss someone based on ownership.
I am getting more and more nervous with Salah C. It's derby so anything could happen.
Have Hazard and Kane also.
Pickford 11 pointers incoming
I'm going Kane. I've dismissed Hazard on the above.
If I'm not gonna captain Kane at home to Stoke then I shouldn't own him so the chips are down
Bench one:
A) Femenia
B) Mee
C) Loftus Cheek
B, especially if you have Richarlison
Femenia
A
B
Speroni Hennessey
Ota Daniels Mee (Moreno Mbemba
Salah Sane Haz Rich (RLC)
Kane Morata Wilson
1ft 0.7itb
What to do? Was originally thinking save transfer but could be worth bring in Christensen now.
A) Daniels > Christensen
B) Moreno to ???
C) Save transfer
Mbemba > Zeeg or Kiko
(2 or 3 rest/rotations and you'd be stuffed otherwise)
Sterling -> Ramsey?
nah
Not for me
Prefer Sterling
Best 4.5m defender that isn't Moreno, from Brighton, Bournemouth or Burnley?
Thinking a Watford defender
Tricky knowing the pecking order when all are back, Kabasele maybe?
Probably zeeg or hudds def
Dunk can't keep scoring OGs, right? I like Zeegelar. He started back to back games within a few weeks and I heard rumours of a rift between Holebas and Silva.
4.5 is tough because all the good ones have been snapped up. Haven't looked at Adam Smith for a while though... Is he a good option? He has been in past seasons
*within a week for Zeegelar
Play one:
a) Tarkowski
b) Mariappa
c) Carroll
A
Did;
Jesus/Sterling/Ota
>
Morata/Coutinho/Kola
For a -4 in a blind drunken rage last night... only just checked. Thought it was the team I was playing in my head to head league.
Thought, ouch hope City batter Utd... Now I don't know what to think.
Will the old guard captain Kane again or have they been stung too many times?
Yep.
Apart from Sterling & Kun he's the only nailed starter this gw
Sanchez?
* that lots have
They'll captain Kane, if you're referring to Mark and Jonty.
TM?
Same as Mark.
Andy is going Hazard. 3rd time lucky for him?
Don't forget to check your own team.
Just put (C) on him,anything over 2pts is bonus.
I'm going for him (again).
Hattrick home to Stoke last season (I know, I know, at WHL) and Stoke are awful away to the big teams. They always seem to roll over
The Wembley thing is a myth. It's all about Tottenham turning up. The players that were rested and the result against APOEL should hopefully turn things around
Even Poch admits Wembley is a problem now.
Only because teams come to perform at Wembley. A brace against Dorund and Liverpool tell me that there is no Wembley issue. Spurs have to lift their game compared to WHL and after the APOEL game I think (well maybe a little hope because Kane captain lol) that they will
Listen to the bean. He's talking sense.
Of course Wembley is a problem. Henry admitted to the Emirates being a huge problem in it's first year for Arsenal because of the bigger pitch, same problem for Spurs
Spurs played some of their best games ever at Wembley in recent times. CL exertions have obviously played a huge part in that. Enough players were rested that I personally feel a turn in PL form is coming. Also, it's December now lol
*that being recent poor percormances
The 4th best in the league for conceding the fewest shots in the box over the last 4.
They've conceded 13 in their last 5 away (at least two in four of those games with seven at City)
Wembley is not just a normal away game, the opposition will always try and raise their game.
This. It is a huge occasion for them.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "It is not an excuse, but when the opponents come to play against us at Wembley it's a massive, historic day [for them], and that is a massive motivation. You're not only competing with the opponent but with the extra motivation too."
Just as Geoff Cameron returns, to do a 'job' 😆
You all speak too much sense and hope you're all wrong 😛

Thanks!
Want to pull the trigger on Jesus to firmino but have a feeling he will be rested.. What do we think are the chances?
Sturridge has a pretty good record in the derby if memory serves.
You could be right
Came off after 70 midweek, just had a rest GW13.
wouldn't go for him personally though!
Yeah, had a rest versus Chelsea and then only played 72 other night...
He was rested 2 weeks ago wasn't he and brought off early in an easy game in midweek. He'll start
OK thanks...he's more likely to play than Jesus anyway
Is Morata still essential in our sides? I'm not convinced in him as a player and will never captain.
He's the only premium striker who's getting returns consistently.
No I think hazard and a defender is enough coverage
Iv resisted the Coutinho hype.
Sane + Mustafi OUT
Ramsey + Alonso IN
Have Salah and you can't deny Ramseys form and Alonso stats suggest goals are imminent.
Wish me luck.
Nope, wish you the worst...I got Couts 🙂
Sane to Ramsey :O I must be missing something
Look at Ramsey? Scoring points consistently and rarely benched. Coutinho could get benched at any time and have pool cover.
Sane on 4 yellows. Playing out wide and city not scoring 5/6 a game of late. Plus 2 tough fixtures in 3 games.
Got rid of lukaku when it seemed wrong but proved right. Game of choices.
I just rember Ramsey of the last two seasons. Sanè's performances have still been solid and he is a better player than Ramsey in a stronger team. I get the Ramsey hype, he's been consistently scoring lately but history says it won't continue.
I may also just be convincing myself of keeping Sanè
2FT Sane>coutinho? Its about the price change as well. Sane will go down and coutinho will go up so it might affect me to not make the swap right?
You shouldn't leave it this late. Do it now.
Dangerous game 😯
Too late
guys please 2FT Sane>coutinho? Its about the price change as well. Sane will go down and coutinho will go up so it might affect me to not make the swap right?
Do you have city cover even after the move?
no...i dont know who to pick between coutinho ramsey and sterling!
Decide tomorrow, you've missed the changes
Start RLC or Otamendi?
Gtg lads? 2FT, 0.1itb:
Pope
Azpi,Monreal,Otamendi
Coutinho,Salah,Sterling,Groß,RLC
Morata,Kane(C)

6 years, 4 months agoWhat does everyone think about morata captain? Don’t trust salah or hazard for some reason
