As we brace ourselves for yet another international break, we turn to Saturday and Sunday’s fixtures and delve into the data in our first members article of the week. We assess Southampton’s chief creator and main frontman as the points start to dry up, cast an eye over Chelsea’s penalty box predator, Man City’s talismanic Argentine and Newcastle’s recent defensive displays as the clean sheets keep coming for Alan Pardew’s men.
Wait for after the break to make transfers or make them now?
Later is better but it may cost you some cash.
I'm trying to do it as late as possible. Hope the price will not change too fast.
Is it too kneejerky to drop Tadic for someone like Downing or Chadli? Don't have Pelle but do have Wanyama (as my bench mid).
I'll be dropping Tadic soon I think, Saints have a horrid run.
I just can't work out who to replace him with
Need him gone
International break 🙂 Its gonna be a good one
which is the best ?
A- becnh Berahino next GW and play 3-5-2 Dowing - ADM - Sanchez - Siggy - Fábregas
Costa & Pelle save FT
B- Berahino > Austin and play 3-4-3 and Bench Dowing
A
A
Hey all,
Current squad of:
Krul (Mannone)
Chambers, Clyne, Dummett (Wisdom Saylor)
Fabs, Sanchez, Downing, Siggy (Boyd)
Costa, Kun, Pelle
Got 2.7m ITB, so is Chambers -> Baines a no brainer of is there something else I need to sort first?Yes. No brainer at all.
Does anyone know why Cameron played 82 minutes ? Injury or just a substitution ?
Came off the bench for an injured Bardsley
he started on the bench, came on as a sub for injured bardsley
Replied last page, Bardsley got injured, I don't think Caneron is anywhere nailed.
thanks
Woohoo, International break, get in!!
*celebration music*

Why do I love QPR players so much? It was Taarabt, Caulker and now Austin.
Could have got Sakho easily!!!
Blue stripes. Can't be their play. Or their points ... 😉
😆
67 points and a slight red arrow this week. Still 440, but suddenly a bit concerned about my midfield. What to do with this team?
Foster/Krul
Baines/Bertrand/Chambers/Wisdom/Naylor
Sanchez/Fabregas/Tadic/Hazard/Marney
Aguero/Welbeck/Berahino
1FT, 0.1 ITB
I want to get Costa in, and I think the only way to do it is Hazard and Welbeck -> Downing and Costa. Thinking maybe save my FT and assess next week?
Cheers.
Can u keep hazard and bring some1 in for tadic?
Not really to get Costa. I could do Tadic, Fabregas and Welbeck -> Siggy, Downing and Costa over the next couple of GWs?
Can you do Fab + Welb and afford that move?
No I've had Fab since the start, so I'm just short. I could do it if I also do Tadic -> Siggy, which I might look at with Saints' run.
*Fábregas and Welbeck
Also one of Bertrand or Clyne has to go.I haven't got Clyne Doos 😉 I would do the Fab switch, but I am 0.2 short. Might do Tadic -> Siggy to allow it.
Right. Sigurdsson on the rise again, btw.
Those 3 moves would leave me 0.8 ITB, so I think I'll wait out the rises with Siggy away to City compared to Tadic and Fab's fixtures.
OK. 🙂
Anyone getting Ivanovic in?
No, not right now.
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/1026/Thanx mate... but, I've already done the trade last night 😛
Not for me, sticking with Baines as my one big hitting defender.
Held him too long. Just sold last week and I was so glad.
Not again.
Am I right to put Wanyama and Chambers on the bench?
_____________Guzan_____________
Baines______Dummett________Clyne
Fabregas_Di Maria_Downing_Sanchez
Austin______Aguero(c)_______Costa
Subs:
Elliot, Wanyama, Chambers, Wisdom
0.1 in the bank
i'd put wanyama on for downing
To get in Costa will take a -4 hit:
ADM out, Chadli in
Berahino out, Costa in
Krul (Elliott)
Baines, Ivanovic, Clyne (Moore, Hutton)
Sanchez, Tadic, Downing, Chadli (Boyd)
Aguero (c), Costa, Pelle
Thanks
@Innsie
I know!. It was a harsh truth when i realised that yesterday. Oh well, patience is the game!Sure is. 😀
What?
Patience is the game
Yes, but ... ?
I played the undefeated leader of the Graveyard Shift this week. Beat him too 😎
Any chance Ben Davies gets some game time at Spurs with Naughton banned for 4 games, and Walker still out, I know he's left sided, but they don't have any other cover do they?
He's only suspended for 2 games and Dier will play.
Forgot about Dier...oh well, if Spurs do decide to shake things up he could be a bargain
Sakho or Austin? Discuss...
Use your member.
It says Fabs gonna get more points than Sanchez!
Austin 100%
I think I'd actually go for Austin; both have excellent fixtures, but Austin looks really good, and Carroll could threaten Sakho's game time.
I doubt Carroll will. But Doos should know better.
No, he won't - until Sakho starts blanking.
In the festive season? games come thick and fast!
Sam is always TOO reluctant to change a winning(drawing?) team. 😕
Sakho 100%
Austin but next GW
Is fab really injured?
no one knows
Is there much between hazard and fab?
Hazard seems big point earner but inconsistent with it.
Fab seems a slow and steady point earner. If they were both to get the same amount of points this season, I would prefer fab purely on the basis he is worth starting every game week. But then hazard also takes pens. Who has a coin?
Cesc
Best thing to do is go for Oscar. He puts up the points in exactly the games you expect him to score in, like clockwork. 9pts vs VIL, blank vs ARS, .... 13pts vs palace, blank vs united, ....10 pts vs QPR, blank vs liverpool...
Next 7 fixtures are amazing too: WBA sun TOT new HUL sto WHMno need, you see how many shots hazard had on target this weekend but got blocked. Plus penalties. He will have double Fab's points by the end of the season... I hope.
Who to captain next gameweek?
1) Aguero
2) Costa
3) Hazard
4) Sanchez
5) Ivanovic
6) BainesWisdom
I will have Hazard as captain, I think.
Know it's explosion imminent but the prob is which gameweek?
Btw how do you think Wisdom vs Hazard would fare?Murder in the Cathedral.
Agguers
Aguero
Costa or Aguero. Everyone else is an also ran
i'll let the scout decide for me between aguero and hazard.
I'm going Aguero, but I don't have Costa. Would be a toss up between the two if I did.
Tempted to get Creswell in for Chambers. I already have Downing and Sakho though :\
That's pushing it with the hammers, hold out and assess form between the two attackers. Then decide who to drop for Cresswel who is an excellent option.
Yeah, I'm probably going to go Creswell and Dyer in and Downing and Chambers out but on paper now that doesn't sound so good 😀
Maybe consider Sakho > Austin? I will never have both Sakho and Downing, but i would definitely have one of them and Cresswell.
That's what's putting me off Sakho.
I own Downing.
I might shoot myself in the foot though...To be honest, someone said it before but Carroll may be a threat to Sakho's game time. I love Sakho and hes been good to me but I reckon if I could switch him and Downing, i would... Long term of course.
nooo I love Sakho : )
Keep him then! Maybe hold out on Cresswell for the time being and see how you go with Sdownkho
ha ha yeah
It is working at the moment!
I just got offered Falcao in exchange for Balotelli in my draft league... would you accept?
- LVG has said that Falcao doesn't fit into the "balance" of his team, and he's also injured 2-3 weeks at least. I'm guessing his loan spell might be ended earlier than expected. Might still be worth the risk if things turn around though.
- Balotelli hasn't been great, but he did have a nice looking partnership with Sturridge against Spurs that looked promising.
Seems mad not to make this trade, but its also madness to sell a starting Liverpool striker for one that is injured and could leave United soon.
What would you do?! 🙂
Need some advice, I wanted to get ADM in but for Downing but it ruins my defence. Where would you invest in next and in who?
Guzan, Jackupovic
Clyne, Bertrand, Duff, Wisdom, Hutton
Siggy, Downing, Fab, Sanchez
Aguero, Costa, Pelle
2.9M ITB
Thanks
Hi Guys!
After taking the lead in my leage early on, I have lost out a bit over the last few gameweeks.
So, something has to happened! Time to show you excellent pundits some trust, and perhaps you can give me some tips on what to improve on my team.
Krul - Mannonne
Baines - Wisdom - Duff - Naylor - Hutton
Tadic - Di Maria - Sterling - Fabregas
Berahino - Costa - Pelle
What would you do in my shoes?
Except for the simple bullet between the eyes 😉
Any and all feedback will be truly appreciated!
Get Aguero.
'It has taken over 16 years, but finally i have come to the conclusion that the boss can bring us no further. Like a relationship that goes on too long, arsene and arsenal are now hurting each other. When that newsflash comes on i will cry like a baby, but it is time for Arsene Wenger to step aside.'
Who said that?
Some fan on Sky Sports news comments section
When I briefly supported Charlton, EXACTLY the same things were been said about Curbishley.
Charlton have never recovered from his loss. Not even with the best efforts of Chris Powell.
BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.
Wise words here (is that a first Doos? ;))
😆 😛 😉
🙁
Costa is yet to be booked in any of his 6 home games for club and country this season.
In away games...
4 Premier League Games - 4 bookings
2 European Qualifiers - 2 bookings
2 Champions League Games - 0 bookings
Probably something to do with needing to compete in a more physical way away from home.
I guess we can expect a suspension for the Spurs home game then 😉Flawless logic 🙂
Now I just have to decide whether to transfer him in for WBA, sun, BLANK taking into account he'll lose a point against Sunderland for the predetermined yellow card!
... and that is a small bloody miracle, seeing the way he plays.
Agreed, it's one of the small comforts I take as a non-owner - he puts himself in potential red card territory every time he plays.
When I was with the lads on Saturday, I suddenly noticed the small niggles he got involved in, as well as the reckless shoulder charges.
He'd have loved to have played in the 70's.
Nah, the way he behaves at times id be betting on him picking up the suspension (or even a red) sooner rather than later.
Well, I'm only giving him one game without a card there!
is Aguero a must have ?
Yes, I'd say so
Aguero, Costa and one of Pelle/Berahino/Sakho seems the way forwardYes
I don't think anyone is truly essential, but he's about as close as it gets.
This, i remember When rvp scored 30 or so goals, i didn't have Him. It was a torture everytime waiting for him to blank. Well, he didn't blank Many times then. Now when i have both aguero and costa, this game is much more enjoyable..
Good morning.
What do you think about these choices to get Costa?
A: Sell Pelle + Fab -> Costa + Chadli
B: Sell Welbeck + Di Maria -> Costa + Downing
C: Keep all MF ... Sell Pelle + Welbeck + Clyne -> Costa + Austin + Yun
Team now with 1FT & 0.0 ITB
Forster - McCarthy
Clyne - Chambers - Naylor - Moore - Baines
Siggy - Sanchez - Fabregas - Di Maria - Boyd
Pelle - Welbeck - Aguero
I still prefer Sakho over Austin.
Me too
Why?
Me too, even though I wouldn't have either of them.
Can't really see why anybody would want a QPR striker.This
Moi aussi
I see Moore played 37mins for Leicester -- does anyone know if this was tactical or injury related? Trying to figure out if he might start next GW. Third defender slot really a problem but don't want to waste transfers at the back at this stage...
De Laet was being ripped apart by Mane is what most people suggested
Ok thanks.
Thinking of Ivanovic and pelle to dummett and aguero. Look ok?
I would do it
Maybe ditching Ovan before a run of god fixtures might be a bad idea but I do think its a decent way of getting Aguero
I can't wait for 15 Dec until 1 Jan, 5 games in 14 days. Although I usually do worse then rivals that go on leave and leave their teams unattended.
😆 I know just what you mean!
For god's sake Tina, it's thAn
Oh,I notice you have been abstaining from sex for a week than.
Grumpy as hell.
🙄That'd be my horrible transfers 😉
😆
*thaN 😉
