In our new series of โMonitorโ Members articles, we turn our attentions to Matthew Etherington. The Stoke winger has been a mid-price Fantasy favourite for the past two seasons now but so far heโs yet to make any sort of impact, with just one assist to his name after six appearances.
Analysing both the OPTA and our own ICT stats, we dig deep in an attempt to ascertain just how and why heโs failed to produce the Fantasy returns so typical of those last couple of campaignsโฆ
Bit of advice please....
Worth a 4 point hit for:
Walcott & Brunt > Ramsey & Mata
Struggling to fund it with Mata set to rise so need to do it soon if at all!
Cheers
Wouldn't bother to be honest. Yet to see convincing evidence that Mata is worth the asking price.
Need some help please...
Have both aguero and adebayor, and both are doubtful now. Is it worth keeping them and hoping they start or get rid of them to ensure a points haul.
Rest of team is Given, Vorm
Enrique, Bose, Komp, Gabbidon, Simpson
Young, Silva, tiote, Anderson, Dyer
RVP, Aguero, Adebayor
Maybe chance your arm with Sturridge for one of them. Don't see Harry risking Ade so perhaps for him. More concrete team news would help matters - Aguero dropping in price may influence your decision also.
Im getting rid. Take whatever profit you made from them and give Suarez, Sturridge, Dzeko or RVP a go.
You already have RVP, my bad.
Suarez or Adebayor? Who will be more worth getting over the next few weeks?
Any Norwich fans know if De Laet might come back into the starting lineup, or is he benched for the forseeable future? I want to get rid, but not this week if he'll start against Swansea.
done well without him recently so probably not unless injuries / suspensions i am unaware of.
RVP worth a 4 point hit...havent takin any? will be for aguero and one of Brunt moses or suarez
dont get rid of suarez, great fixtures coming up and also ran Man U ragged last season at Anfield.
I'm thinking of doing Ade > RVP, but need to downgrade Young for this. This leaves me with 6.5m for a mid. Thinking of Ramsey or Petrov??
Ramsey. Plays higher up pitch. In a team that score more.
Anyone think NEW could steal a CS?
Does anyone know when multi-game GWs might start? I want to save my WC for then....
That Spurs V Everton re-arrangement is still up in the air isn't it? The bad weather normally instigates the dgws in any case.
Unless your talking about the christmas period of matches where you get double GW, usually according to last year the most double GWs were around after Feb.
Right, I think I've finally nailed my wc transfers. Revised team:
Begovic/Vorm
Simpson Taylor Enrique Bosingwa Kompany
Ramsey Nani Petrov Dyer Silva
RVP Sturridge Rooney
+0.4m the bank
Am thinking this gives me enough flexibility to swap RVP/Rooney with Aguero/Suarez etc over the next few weeks whilst the rest of the team offers enough flexibility for rotation.
Thoughts?
My brains pretty much fried these days Teddy, but thanks for the complement....
I like it. Although I think I'm going to do Aguero/Ade instead, love spur's fixtures.
I'm on a WC too, basically seems to come down to Chelsea or spurs, you've gone Chelsea, I've gone spurs ๐
Good luck!
Did have Ade and VdV, but too much uncertainty with both this weekend. Bos has been in from the start while I have options to change Sturridge if he doesn't play/deliver (with Gabby for example).
good luck to you too....just hope Ade or VdV don't score now ha
Anyone know anything about Aguero I want to ship him out for suarez but would like to have him this week, anyone know whether he is fit?
He's had a groin injury. He says he is making good progress. I think he will play.
All signs point the other way
http://twitter.com/#!/aguerosergiokun
I take his recent tweet as positive news and until he is actually ruled out I'm sticking.
Yer gonna owe me a pint, mate ๐
I think the quote at the bottom tells me all I need to know, really ...
*sigh*
Yup. ๐
Lol you just saw the "he should be fine for city" and thought why the hell are all these guys worrying about Aguero when he should be fine.
This RVP obsession reminds me of the Torres fixation in an early gameweek. An obsession based on fixtures, with no form to back it up. I sadly fell for that one - have no intention of a repeat. If RVP does start to do well, then I'll bring him in. I'm quite willing to take the risk of being late to the party.
I mean people are swapping Rooney out for him - wha???
U might be on something here. I was set all week on RVP but this concern me. But he still has a lot of shoots on target, not like Nando
I know Jimski, I think they're nuts. RvP has failed to deliver a few times already when it seemed likely that he would. Rooney is much more reliable.
Seriously. I'm going to pity those Rooney-ship mutinees when he scores a hatrick and a brace the next couple of weeks...steady as she goes...not jumping on that RVP to Rooney bandwagon, although I do agree RVP is a great bet...
RVP is in a bit of form to be fair. Some club goals and Int goals. But swapping out for Rooney is big risk.
He's in quite good form and has been for the last year or so. Torres wasn't and hadn't for the last ye........
If your concern was the arsenal midfield I'd understand but still they scored 3 & 3 in the last 2 "easy" fixtures
Ramsey in, but for who?...... Moses or Taarabt?
I'll throw Sinclair in as an option as well
๐ฏ Feck me! Mind you - keep Sinclair ... I think! ๐
Thanks Guys, You've confirmed my thoughts. Taarabt it is. It'll be hard to swaloow tho, if he bangs in a brace this weekend against Slackburn.
Just feel I need to make a transfer else I'll lose a freebie!
Also got Odemthingie (for some reason) good home fixture though. I'll keep him, for time being...
Either will do, imo ...
Taarabt will have to go next week anyway and u could keep Moses more gw's and is cheaper. If we go with that logic Taraabt should be sold, or use the transfer for other player
I started this fortnight almost certain to transfer out Dzeko. Now he is set to be my captain. Strange ...
Very true - but I have done three transfers ... ๐
Still trying to work out the 3rd tranny. Walcott & Baines out but who else? I really should get a life ๐
Still debating having him this week and then out for Suarez next week...
IMHO, Suarez is just as likely to score against Utd as Dzeko is against Villa.
๐ฏ I really don't agree with that at all!!! ๐
We'll see... ๐
I agree so much, I'm giving him the armband.
Rooney > RVP (Play Dyer)
or
Adebayor > RVP, Nani > Ramsey 4 point hit
Bleughh
Neither.
Game of ffia 12 on ps3 anyone?
I can only do it on the wii, without the nunchuk malarky, as that just confuses me... although I get confused anyway. Sad but ture ๐
AND he's been at the sauce! True - but sad!!! ๐
I may have been sampling some fine red from Waitrose (their cheepest but ๐ )
Wine is never sad especially after a good old chin wag with the wife ๐
Time for bed for me soon though ๐
True - but Magnificent!!! ๐ We went out to see a fillum - then into Davy's to destroy their pink Sancerre. Fillum was crap, mind. ๐
Did you know my wife is all but Irish? We played charades with my son tonight, they both said "movies", I said fillum. Dire times indeed!
Glad the Sancerre may have made for the crap movie ๐
Too many people online play as Real Madrid/Barca. But have managed to improve my defence now. Only conceding 1 or 2 a game. Still waiting for that elusive CS.
Wildcard team (should I or shouldn't I)
Vorm (Ruddy)
Bosingwa Enrique Simpson Barnett Naylor
Nani Silva Petrov VdV Dyer
RVP Rooney Sturridge
or
Fit in Nasri and double up on City midfield...but match against Aston Villa isn't a walk in the park. VdV and Van Persie are going to be there short term (as far as I can foresee) as well as Sturridge, at least until Aguero and Adebayor are back to health. Thoughts?
I don't see value in doing short term moves in a wc team. You should be setting your team up for the next 10-15 weeks, bar the injuries. Depending on the next 2 gws, RVP could be a keeper as could VDV. Decent team though ๐
Cheers 4vets....Yeah, the only thing I see changing is bringing Aguero and Adebayor back, ditching VdV for Ramsey.....the core of the team will be the same. And you're right, the Dutchmen could be keepers, depending on the form they (and their teams) show in the next couple of weeks. If anything, I'll have 3 free transfers by the time that time does come around, ready to make any necessary adjustments. I'm happy with the core of the squad until the transfer window rolls around. Thanks for the feedback
Why are people selling Adebayor? He might still play this week and then plays Blackburn and QPR.
Dunno - lot of panic about ...
Panic on the streets of London
Panic on the streets of Birmingham
I wonder to myself
Could life ever be sane again ?
The Leeds side-streets that you slip down
I wonder to myself
Hopes may rise on the Grasmere
But Honey Pie, you're not safe here
So you run down
To the safety of the town
But there's Panic on the streets of Carlisle
Dublin, Dundee, Humberside
I wonder to myself...
+10293
hamstring tear is not that easy to shake off.
Fair enough you must have some powerhouses on the bench. I have Dyer, so Ade must go this week.
I have Dyer also and he will play if Ade doesn't. You must have a fully sorted team if you've not got anything else to worry about.
Not really but I need my strikers to do well. Cant afford for 8. something to be sitting on the bench while Dyer gets a 2 point. Im gonna take a punt on sturidge. Thank you Ade for the nice profit but now I'm gonna deal and take the money.
I've checked some statistics in mean time and I saw that Dzeko is awful at home, way much better away. Hmmm.... I might sell him after all. Villa or not Villa, I don't care.
There are lies, damn lies and ...
He might be different as a lone striker with Silva and Nasri feeding him directly.
He has way much shots and shots on target away from home. Maybe he is good when they set up away from home, but not so good when the team is trying to defend and he should unlock there defense. That means Villa will defend and they could defend quite well too
Aguero plays, you heard it hear 1st
Panic over!!! ๐
plays what? Fifa/Pro Evo/FM on the weekend while city play?
Well, Anderson's playing much better than Ramsey.
Are you absolutely bloody sure??? ๐
I am. Ramsey has been lucky because his performances have been a bit shabby.
No, not you - I mean the feller above! ๐
A good ol' reply fail. Haven't one of those recently due to the new layout ๐
Errr - not mine, sir!!! ๐
That's why I'm asking! ๐
Based on fixtures I think so. I don't see much potential for anything more than 2 pointers for Anderson for the next 3 games.
Any chance of purchasing Liverpool v United ticket from anywhere?
OK - I must lay my weary head to bed ... ๐
Or even bilaterally ... ๐
I had time and tried to make WC team. Well I don't have it, but seems fun:
Schwarzer, Vorminator
Naylor, Saylor, Bos, Schawcross, to be decided
DVD, Silva, Petrov, Ramser, Dyer
RVP, Rooney, Sturridge
WOW what a team. Granny are you out there? I think he is wild carding this international break.
You think Fulham and Swansea is a better rotation?
this is my actual WC team Daniel:
Begovic/Hennessey
Ward ShawX Warnock Simpson Barnett
Silva Bale Petrov Sinclair Tiote
Rooney Suarez RVP
thoughts?
Hi Fratboy. I like your GK combo, rotates well but I wouldn't double up on Hennessey and Ward, Wolves just aren't reliable enough at the back just yet...big Mick will get them more solid sometime soon though I think.
Tierney instead of Barnett IMO.
Drop Rooney for Adebayor and upgrade Bale to Nani if you can.
Just a few thoughts!
thanks man, Rooney is more a mini league concern of mine, if I don't have him and he scores I'll drop. With Adebayor a doubt as well that seems riskeeee to me! I'm not overly keen on the Wolves idea though....food for thought though thanks ๐
Sorry, forgot Adebayor is a doubt......Sturridge maybe for Chel cover? Would free up nice cash
*squeak* *squeak*
I had 2 free changes this week, I just brough in Woodgate for Smalling and now have 0.9 in the bank. What would you advise?
Vorm/Kenny - who would you start this week?
Woodgate/Bosingwa/Simpson/De Laet/Ward
Nani/Silva/Dyer/Taarabt/O'Hara
Aguero/Adebayor/Rooney
I could do Petrov in for O'Hara? but given the doubts over Adebayor and Aguero, I feel I should wait until as late as possible for some injury news. I think RVP for Aguero would be an obvious choice wouldn't it? or I was thinking swapping ward for someone to strengthen in defence? Thoughts?
I'm very happy with my Rooney to Sturridge transfer this week. To hell with all this "Form vs Fixtures" debate this season. I simply don't fancy Rooney for his next 3 fixtures.
With all my extra money, money, money I will get VdV next week, but only if he plays in the hole against Newcastle, otherwise it's hello Stevie G. for three plum fixtures doubled up with Suarez until my season defining WC after GW11.
I don't think many people fancy Rooney...
Gerrard is a BIG call, you not think he's too pricey?
My preference is VdV at the mo, but am worried about this Defoe nonsense.
Have the money for Gerrard if I so wish. If he starts vs Utd, he looks tasty for NOR, wba, SWA
I'd back Rooney to score in any game to be honest. I understand your logic though.
RVP or Struddige? and why is everytone so sure suarez is gona bang in a few this week and dont say cause he did last season!
RvP if you can afford.. sunderland + stoke at home over next two sounds worth all the hype
Help.. need advice from some sane people.
Already taken a 4pt hit over international break.. currently considering another to bring in RvP for one of Aguero/Rooney.. more likely Rooney.
Comments?
Is Sturridge anywhere close to rising?
