Paul With clean sheets proving hard to come by for many teams, Goal Threat from the back is an ever-crucial facet when eyeing up Fantasy defensive options.
In this latest article for Members, we focus on defenders who have played four or more league games this season, selecting the top ten performers and, when applicable, compare their stats to last term’s in order to ascertain whether there’s been an improvement or a drop in their offensive threat…
Can someone please tell me what is the current situation with Demba Ba? Is he going to start?
I think yes
SWP to Ramsey or Adebayor to Sturridge?
Have RvP already...
Vorm (Given)
Simpson Boswingwa Kompany (Brown) (Senderos)
Silva Moses Nani SWP (Dyer)
RvP Suarez Adebayor
SWP playing awful Blackburn at home - keep him for that!
Ade is 50/50 - dont push panic button yet.... he even playing through the injury last time and has had 2 full weeks to recouperate.....
Wait for more Ade news...
But if you have to.... I would suggest Zamora instead.... his points per game is one of the best and seems to be fit again...
Ada is more 25/75 not to play...
I think i'm just tempted to make a change in truth, so you think it might be wiser just not to make a transfer?
Wait till you hear more today... Ade wont drop between now and tomorrow morning...
Dyer aint a bad first sub either.....
And chances are you would want to get Ade back in again anyway....
My advice, hold off for now (but what do i know!?)
Anybody aware of the situation of Balotelli? He looks fit to go but will he play?
Morning Chaps/Chapets!,
Thank god the Premiership is back, I really hate international weeks - especially watching England!
Your views on my potential transfers would be lovely!
My team currently:
Vorm, (Given)
Bosingwa, Kompany, R.Taylor, (W.Brown, Ward)
Mata(VC), Silva(C), Jarvis, Ramsey, (Dyer)
Rooney, Agbonlahor, Suarez
I have made one transfer so far this week (Anderson > Ramsey) and still have one free...
Can you see any reason for changing any other parts of the team, I was thinking Rooney > RVP with fixtures coming up, but that leaves me short of United cover, which I've been stung before on....
I would say RvP but I understand your point on being short of United cover, I would say go RvP, but it could also be just as wise to save the transfer. Perhaps only think about bringing RvP in if you captain him?
Right my team has slight problems. Have Aguero, Adebayor, Brunt and De Laet all of who mightn't play and 0 in the bank.
I was going to get Suarez next week anyway so wondering should I just swap Aguero -> Suarez this week or/and swap Brunt to Petrov/Ramsey.
What do ye think?
It's a tough one, 4 players doubtful is never a good position to be in, I assume you have one transfer.... Look to plan the transfers over the next 3/4 weeks.... Suarez after this game week has a nice run of fixtures....
Hold fire on Ade and Aguero until the last min, see if there are any reports (Like Rooney in previous GW)
De laet, has he played recently? If not ship out before you lose money on him!!
Brunt, I haven't seen much of him so coudnt comment.
Brunt is fit
Why is everyone ditching taarabt? I've been holding on to him expectant of a large points haul at home to blackburn!
Any thoughts on who out of Silva & Nasri would be the better signing?
Nasri, comes on and does wonders.
Silva, steadily churning out the points.
Call me boring, but I'd rather have Silva. I am quietly confident that he will outscore Nasri this season unless Mancini really shakes things up in the team.
It's a coin flip really.... I personally have Silva - hes picked up 48 points in 7 weeks with only 1 game below 5 points - Mr consistent!
There's been talk that Nasri might be taking City's penalties.
I'd expect a sharp rise in his price if that turns out to be true.
Several weeks in and I have the front line that I wanted day one of the season...
Rooney/RVP/Suarez
Although I admit I was in a cafuddle over Carroll/Suarez... seems much easier a decision now 😀
Thoughts on who to play - Dyer against Norwich or Gabby at City?
50/50 Call. Though I would play Gabby, Villa aren't a walkover. I think Man City will win it but if Gabby shows the same form as last GW then I see him scoring.
Stuck on last Defender spot
Got Boswinga,Enrique,Woodgate,Simpson
Thinking BAE at 5.0m or think Defence strong enough? and go with Taylor from Swansea
Taylor from Swansea for me. Definitely decent enough already
Thants what im thinking cheers. leaves me a team of
Given,Ruddy
Boswinga,Enrique,Woodgate,Simpson,Taylor
Nani,Silva,Bale,Ramsey,Bannan
RVP,Suarez,Sturridge with 1.1 in bank
Which two will score more points this weekend?
Simpson (TOT)
Enrique (MUN)
Dyer (nor)
Johnson (SWA)
anyone know what impact Craig Dawson (if fit) will have on McAuley in the WBA side? cheers
This is such a classic fpl addict question, I bet even WBA fans don't really know or care 🙂
Yes, I'm an addict! 😉 And ok, cheers anyway!
Some of my friends won't play this game as they feel it's somehow cheating on the team you support to feel good when someone in your FPL team scores against them, a few of these guys are gobsmacked that people I've persuaded to play FPL who had previously little interest in football can now name the entire Wolves team, the entire WBA team etc.
+1, so true that.
I'm not sure how it'll affect McAuley's playing time but I think Craig Dawson is a full England international in the making. He should already be first choice for WBA.
ok...! Hmmmm...this ruins my plan! Was thinking of buying McAuley!
Is Craig Dawson that guy that played for Hull? Brother of Dawson at Tottenham?
Nope, that's Andy. Craig Dawson is one of the stars of the current England U21 team.
ah, ok.
So you would recommend to stay away from McAuley?
Well, I don't know what Hodgson thinks... 🙂 McAuley seems to have done well so he might be worth a punt. I think WBA could keep a cleansheet this weekend but the following 3 games don't look good for them.
If he loses his place you can always sell him again.
True. Cheers mate.
I would just like to point out that I was Super Hans on FISO long before you found this site.
Get some originality in your life.
Mac, just a quick tip...dont let anyone talk you out of Gerrard, if you want him, get him.
So many times people say not to get someone (I went Rooney > Sturridge after the Stoke game, posted on here and some called me crazy) and they come out and kill it after you dont get them and you are stuck wondering 'what if?'
Go for it! 🙂
+1 go with your gut not the sheep.
Don't you spend about 30 posts a day talking people out of transfers? 🙂
I agree with the sentiment fwiw,. just surprised to hear it coming from you.
Alrighty, can I see some?
Here's one from the last page, I could find more but it doesn't seem a very productive use of my time.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2011/10/13/the-numbers-game-threat-from-the-back/comment-page-7/#comment-2102925
Well, how exactly does that work?
He already did the transfer...
Are you serious? You said "I'd try and talk you out of it but it's too late" and you're presenting that to me as evidence that you don't use posts to talk people out of transfers?
Here you are actually mocking someone, on the same page, for bringing Gerrard in!
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2011/10/13/the-numbers-game-threat-from-the-back/comment-page-7/#comment-2102922
😆
I'm quite confident that anyone bored enough to read through this exchange will be quite convinced with the little evidence I've presented so far. You however would still argue the toss were I to find literally 30 examples of you literally saying "do not get Gerrard this week". So there's no much point me wasting my time. Prosecution rests.
Of course he should do what he wants, but if you come here looking for opinions most people will agree that Gerrard at 11m is complete rip-off.
He didn't come on looking for opinions, he wanted those about a different situation didn't he...
+1, especailly with so little game time he has.
Mac, you will either be foolish, or heild a hero!
Oh yeah I'm not convincing myself it's a sensible decision or that he's good value for money I just feel like a punt. I'm not going to get offended by people telling me it's stupid, you're all probably right.
If it's not going to cost you 4points to get him in, and you are looking long term then it could work out nicely for you. C-O-U-L-D
Nothing wrong with giving sensible advice to other people even if you don't follow it yourself.
Anyone think Augero and Adebayor will make it this weekend?
morning lads im debating whether to rid of ade for sturrige or not with all my injuries
looking ahead to next gw who would you prefer to have?
ade away at bla
or
sturridge away at qpr
Would it be studpid to stick with Sessegnon? I just read a lot of praise from the team coach, and they were even considering changing the formation just to suit him!
I've got two free transfers this week, but don't know who to buy/sell! Any suggestions? Team is in the link...
my team after the wildcard (bad idea after all):
Given-Vorm
Enrique-Shawcross-Kompany-Simpson-Taylor(Swansea)
Silva-Cabaye-Moses-Ramsey-Murphy
Rooney-Suarez-RVP(C)
A. Suarez or Sturidge ???
B. should i switch suarez for sturridge or aaron hughes for kompany in order to get petrov/taraabt in the place od moses ??
Hating on this Adebayor situation right now. Redknapp says he's doubtful, but then went on to big up how well Defoe's been playing and that VDV is class in his preferred position (just off the striker). Leaves me to think that he might go Defoe and VDV up top .. anyone else feel the same?! And btw I have Adebayor!
Yep, looks like it's definitely going to be VdV and Defoe this weekend. I'm a Spurs fan btw and fans on the message boards seem resigned to us playing without Adebayor this weekend. Hopefully he'll be back for the next game though.
Who out of Young or Nani to be sold for a Man City Mid? I think this could be another toss up
Yep - it's one of those that only the power of hindsight can help you with. If you like I can pick one for of them for you - at least then you'll have someone to blame.
Thanks, but I am happy to take a gamble. Was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts of which was most likely to start the next few games. I know Young had an injury but I guess he should be fit again now
They are both fit and will start at Anfield
Logically (if that comes in to it at all...) then Nani will be the next to be rested, bearing in mind Young was rested last time out. Nani played both games for Portugal, while Young only played 60 mins. Those are the facts but I doubt whether either will be rested for tomorrow.
Do we think dzeko will start this weekend??...
does anybody think rooney will be affected by his 3 match ban & realistically not playing in the euros??
is it worth getting rid for rvp or wellbeck/hernandez?
cheers
I think that's what a lot of us are thinking right now. Get rid of him and he gets a hat trick vs. a dodgy Pool defence. Keep him and gets a yellow card and 1 point. Tough call...
i would stick with rooney. Who really knows if Hernandez or Welbeck will start. Chic might be just ahead but you know rooney will start. Hope you have some Arsenal cover though or bringing RVP in might be worth it.
It'll be Roon and Welbeck starting as Chicharito came back late from int. duty - we may see him come on later in the game
Rooney's temprement, and away at Liverpool of all places - you couldn't make it up! Too high risk for me, I've got rid and swapped him out for Suarez. Will bring him back in for the Sunderland game.
Can't decide on my keeper for this weekend. I've had Given in all season but think im might bring Vorm of the bench.
Yep, another cleansheet for the Swans this weekend I think. First away cleansheet.
is this a strong enough team if hypotethically both adebayor and aguero dont play.. 0.0 in the bank.. thinkin of saving my transfer
Vorm
Kompany Bosingwa Simpson Enrique
Silva(c) Mata Nani Dyer Moses
Suarez
Ruddy Aguero Adebayor Brown
gonna start both of em for sure.. but incase they dont start that’ll be my team
or do i do adebayor to sturridge freein up cash for moses/dyer to ramsey/petrov next week
which combo is best?
1 mata and ade
or
2 vdv and sturridge
Probably VDV and Sturridge
But, both are very good options, I have all four 😉
If England do not take Wayne Rooney to Euro 2012 I think they'l have a much better chance of progressing to their second ever final.
It's pretty simple to me just wait until the draw - if England get a hard group then don't take Rooney. We'll need every option we have. If England get a piss easy group then take Rooney, he's going to be a nice asset for the latter stages.
If we get an average group I'd still take him.
I dont know, with players like Bent Sturridge & Welbeck vrying for a place on the plane I think it would be harsh to leave one of them out (providing the the latter two dont dip in form). If they do take Bent Sturridge & Rooney and the former score 3 goals apeice in the group stages, would you drop one for Rooney? or Bench him? I think there are too many risks.
I would assume England would be seeded along with Spain Holland & Germany, there is not going to be an easy group in the Euros imo. I think every team who have qualified will give England a good game.
r u crazy! We have to take rooney, he proves week in week out at utd he is world class, I hate the pr1ck but we need him - u get 23 players!!!!!!
Agree. I don't think it shows much confidence if you pick a squad based on the assumption that you're going to get knocked out in the group stages.
Rooney should and will be in the squad full stop! Our best and most influential player by a mile, could be a blessing in disguise having a fresh Wayne Rooney for the knockout stages (should we make it)!
Honestly, I think you's stand a much better chance without him.
I think if the 3 players mentioned above and Carroll are score regularly then you dont need him. play as a team and rest all your hopes on one ego inflated individual.
Ditch Hernandez or stick? was doing Javier to Ade but now thats not possible and nobody else really appeals..
Suarez?
Whats your thoughts on Kenny (QPR) or Vorm (Swansea)?
To play or transfer? Play Kenny if you're picking one then transfer in then Vorm.
1) Moses -> Ramsey
OR
2) Dyer -> Ramsey
OR
3) Aguero -> RVP?
