Mark With template midfields and forward lines now commonplace, recent goals from Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Joleon Lescott demonstrated the value of points from our defenders as a method of boosting Fantasy ranks.
In this latest article for Members, we use Opta data and our own ICT Threat scores to examine the defenders who have presented the most potent threat so far, whilst discussing any worthy options who are potentially due improved returns before the season is out.
assist ??
Shirokov OUT Kroos IN this week, bloody hell, could really have done with those points.
I think many took him out after hearing he was unlikely to start... Sometimes I think taking this game more seriously than others is ironically our downfall.
Absolutely it is, casual players always have benefit of not over-analysing, ignorance is bliss in situations such as this, just so frustrating Fantasy UCL.
2 goals in 60 seconds! 3-2 Zenit!!
Milan:
Abbiati; abate, silva, mexes, antonini; seedorf, van bommel, nocerino; boateng; ibrahimovic, robinho
arsenal:
Szczeny: Sagna, vermaelen, koscielny, gibbs; rosicky, arteta, ramsey, song, walcott; van persie
Antonini!? GTFO Allegri
3-2 is better for Benfica than 2-1 anywayyyyy
thats 12 points lost.. Cant even rememebr who suggested shirokov out..
He was supposed to be injured, I took him out too.
Good game 🙂
The co-commentary is cracking me up on Sky Sports 2.
He's not a fan of that keeper is he? Haha.
When you support Arsenal and Inter, you have no problems knowing who to cheer on tonight 😀
Damn it, why is Lescott over Richards now tempting me, it shouldn't, especially with Kolo back. Then again Yaya over Silva in order to fund Taiwo - Agger/Johnson is also tempting.
Also pick 2 to start and 2 to bench from
Taiwo, Evans, Caulker and Dempsey
I have Richards and only reason why I'm sticking is because I think he'll be up the field more than Kompany - but I wouldn't swap for Lescott.
Kompany if you own either... stick if you currently have Richards, IMO... Richards > Kompany later.
Do you think Ryan Taylor is worth bringing in for Simpson, or Simpson more nailed on?
I still believe Raylor is at risk when the mid is reshuffled with the return of Tiote and Cabaye. Surely Santon has LB sorted now.
I believe people in here have been saying that Simpson have been more nailed on than R. Taylor all season. But since Pardew can't seem to stop playing him, and since Taylor won't stop scoring, I'm not sure what to do.
However, with Cabaye and Tiote now back in the midfield, it will be interesting to see if Pardew still manages to keep a place for Taylor.
If the pitch Real Madrid play on is anything like this, they will struggle.
No shit.
Milan formation anyone? Don't know too much about them recently, 4-3-3?
--------------------GK----------------
-------------Back 4--------------------
-----------Van Bommel--------
----Nocerino------------Boateng-----
--------------Seedorf----------
---------Zlatan----------Robinho
4-3-1-2 I think, with K.P Boateng the trequartista.
Thanks legends.
.. Do you think Ryan Taylor is worth bringing in for Simpson, or Simpson more nailed on?
(When Taylor is definitely back)
Oh my lord, I transferred Ole' Shirokov out cause I thought he was jured. Boo hoo
There was a good source saying he wouldn't play: ESPN soccernet on Monday quoting one of his teammates saying that Shirokov had definitely been ruled out of the match with Benfica. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1021633/zenit-starlet-kanunnikov-set-to-replace-danny?cc=5901
But obviously something changed -- to the frustration of us managers who try to pick teams based on solid information!
Vermaelen anytime at 11/1? What ya reckon?
Very surprised that Chamberlain or even Arshavin aren't playing considering how narrow Milans midfield will be.
This is Gibbs first game back, Rosicky will do a lot of his defencive work,Oxlaide would not.
True, but what makes Theo undroppable? Oxlade is the form player.
Oxlade is a youngster and Wenger is scared of creating another Wilshere style injury. If he doesnt have to play him then he wont.
Plus Theo has champions league form. He carried us through the Udinese matches and some of the group stage.
Stop it, i am trying to jinx theo so he scores. Rubbish player! 😉
Yep. Frankly I think Walcott is undroppable for Arsenal, he's a consistent performer for us, is not as bad as people make out (though way short of his promise) and we have no other proven options there.
ANYone Playing Assou ekotta against Arsenal?
Me, probably.
if i sub out a guy playing on the 22nd in UCL.. can i bring him back after the games played on the 21st?
Nope
Well done Zenit, I had that completely wrong--- I thought you'd be rusty after no games for so long-- turns out Rusty stuff beats Frozen stuff. and once again I underestimate homefield advantage.
Our announcer said Malafeev... zenit goalie, should be back next time.
You reckon? I have Malafeev and his replacement was comfortably the worst goalie I've seen in the 3rd millennium.
Malafeev should recover from his injury---- is what the announcer said. and I think you are a little too FORGIVING of Zhevnov- add another thousand years. lol
Ah only out for injury - OK - I have some confidence in him returning.
Unlike the worst goalie since 1000 AD.
Anyone else take shircov out cuz u though he was injured i did ... :L
*Did anyone else take Shirokov out of their team because they thought he was injured?
do you have nothing better to do then correct people go out and get a life...
No need for that. Mull has been a mine of info over the last few days.
Why not just bother to typre properly? Your other posts haven't been that bad.
I type without looking at the screen then i dont borther checking it....
We only pick up on this stuff when the board is this slow 😀
