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.
Eerie - I reckoned Milan - Arsenal would be 1-1, several other people here and offline have said 1-1, and Bet365 had it down as the most likely scoreline (6.0 odds).
Lay your money down 😉
Do you guys think that Johnny Evans is pretty much nailed on for most of the season?
Glued on - Pritt stick though.
depends how well he plays
Good question. Looking to possibly bring him in in a couple of weeks myself. Will be interesting to see who plays in centre of defence now that Jones and Smalling are fit...
No one can possibly answer with any real insight though. He's playing ok and Utd have injury issues but who knows if Smalling, Ferdinand, Jones and Rafael are all fit at the same time.
I think it might be wise just to keep him until he is dropped as opposed to replacing him now.
Put it this way, at 4.6 he can be a slightly pricey 5th defender and the best one in the game at that.
Blimey this board has gone from one extreme to the other in terms of number of posts.
Anyway, what do you think of the Ox for the rest of the season?
Ox, McClean, Valencia, Sigurdsson, Bale looks an interesting midfield but I feel Sig may have peaked.
Yeah wouldn't go in for Sig now, he's had an awesome run. Wouldn't ditch him either if I had him already.
I think Ox's gametime is in danger when Gervinho returns, meaning Walcott, Gervinho, Ramsey, Arshavin, Rosicky and Ox will have to somehow fit into the front midfield three. And that's assuming Wilshere doesn't barge in too.
Also, Vorm (away to Stoke) or Mignolet (away to WBA)
Stoke have failed to score in 9 games this season compared to West Brom's 8.
I am still thinking of going with Mignolet though due to Sunderlands form and Swansea conceding 3 at home to Norwich.
Mignolet
14 Feb 19:56 CET Cris (4.7) Adriano (5.8)
14 Feb 19:45 CET Lombaerts (5.0) Cris (4.7)
14 Feb 19:45 CET Artur (5.2) Malafeev (4.9)
14 Feb 17:52 CET Xavi Hernández (8.9) Fàbregas (9.4)
14 Feb 17:52 CET Xabi Alonso (6.5) Özil (9.8)
14 Feb 17:52 CET Shirokov (6.4) Nocerino (5.1)
Some fails right there look at the time i got rid of cris and look when i got rid of shirokov...
Just tell me when you make transfers in future 😉
The Cris transfer is just bad luck; Adriano represented such good value that we all just had to get him. It was the correct move to get rid of Shirokov as he was thought to be out by everyone and an article said that he wouldn't make it.
Lol cheers and sorry for having a pop at you 🙂
ok folks can someone please answer me these questions three
1) 2 to play from Taiwo, Evans, Caulker and Dempsey?
2) Agger or Skrtel to replace Richards in GW29?
3) Worth doing Silva ➡ Yaya or not getting Tony V in order to allow me to lose Taiwo and double on Pool defence?
Are you getting Ba this week?
nope not getting Ba in. Am planning nothing this week then Gerbil ➡ Yak GW27 and carrying my other FT over. GW28 is Aguero ➡ Rooney and that's where questions 2 and 3 come in.
Cool. I just had a look at the Blackburn fixtures and I can see why Granny is holding on to Yak and why you are buying him. Some decent fixtures! Nor/Wigan/Black/Bolton and even Wolves have some nice fixtures and i can see some of these teams getting some good results.
Re your point 2/3....call me crazy but I'm considering GJ!
Can't afford GJ. Basically I can do Gylfi ➡ Valencia in GW28 as well but I'd have to lose Richards to get a Pool defender in. If I didn't get Tony and/or went from Silva to Yaya I could get 2 Pool defenders in.
I think the timing of selling Dempsey/Sess (and their possible dip in form) will be vital for many of us. Everyone has basically the same players so it might be time to gamble.
If I get it wrong then it's the end of my season. Tosey was thinking of trebling up on pool Defence.
Arsenal firm favourites? The bias didn't take long to start on ITV.
They didn't say that did they? I didn't hear it.
I didn't hear that either.
It was just about the first thing Chiles said as the video was ending. I'm fairly sure anyway.
Chiles is a first class moron. Never listen to anything he says, i have no idea how he is presenting a football show.
"if they win tonight they will be firm favourites"
My bad
That is such typical meaningless airtime filler that sends me to sleep.....
Wish they had more tactical analysts on big football matches, TBH I think some of the regulars here would do a better job than most of the pundits.
Eve Granny. You sticking with Yak or swapping for Ba? Mark getting any sleep?
Sticking with Yak, whatever. Aguero is the one I don't trust. I'll take my chances without Ba I think.
Spoke to Mark the other day, he's finding life at home very tough 😉
I told him sleep deprivation is something you eventually get used to.
The going rate is 30 days of sleep and 300,000 FPL places for each child isn't it? 😀
Granners, I'm also going Ba-less I think, will get Yak in after City away and 'take my chances' with the most lethal scorer in the PL if you take goals:shots ratio. Aguero is worth keeping for the next games, if you're gonna sell/drop him before then there was no point in wc him in.
Haha, good chance for you reel him in! He is having an amazing season. I will be shocked if he does not get a top 1k finish come the end of the season.
I was ready to get Ba in for a 4pt hit, but I'm having doubts though...
GO ARSENAL GO!! MAKE ME PROUD! Or at least not embarrass us.
With Gibbs back, do you think he'll be first choice LB in the league games?
I got no Zenit players, I had Shirokov at end of group stages. Did not keep him. Meh.
Luckily for me it was Valentine's day yesterday so I had to do my duty (which was fun) rather than fretting about last minute changes to my team.
If a baby results then I'll have to persuade my amour to call him "Roman", which may be tricky.
By the way, great choice of name for your son, Mark!
URGENT GUYS. RB (Recovered Balls) predictions for Hubocan and Lombaerts?
HAHAHAHA....
Seriously though, enjoy the game. Going down the pub. Come on you Gooners.
CAN EVERYONE STOP CRYING ABOUT SHIROKOV ❗
THANK YOU
Google wiziwig
2 transfers this wk, who d'you think makes more sense
yakubu & Valencia 4 Ba & Mc Clean OR
Yakubu & Enrique 4 Ba & 3.9 defender (still leaving me 4 other good defenders)
Cheers
No, you read that the wrong way round, i have enrq & yak already
reply fail 😛
ah in which case none, keep Yak but bench him and you'll want Valencia back in 2 weeks, I took him out last week, I regret it now. What is your full team?
Vorm/Krul
Richards/Ekkoto/Enrique/R Taylor/Caulker
Valencia/Sinclair/sess/Bale/Dempsey
Yak/Augero/RVP
Cuurrently 60k, finished top 2 k last season!!, had a disaster start this seas
Keep 1 free, do Enrique to Bad K if you can afford, if not Lescott/Luiz/Ivanovic
Thanks, but can't resist offloading yak to get Ba in. Ba at home to Wolves is too good to resist, will capt him as well, reckon he will take it out on a dismal wolves, after losing at spurs. I think he could get 6!!
Guus Hiddink has been offered the job as coach of Anzhi, and want a decision within the the week, could be a indication of AVB's future given he'd be the most likely person to replace him if he's sacked. Or it might pave the way for Jose to come back in the summer. He shouldn't be let go imo, but who knows.
15 RB's for Luisao, will take that! 3 points from nothing!
Taking the armband off Messi and giving it to Uncle Clarence was a joke, but I didn't expect it to fail that spectacularly 😆
Why would u have given it to Clarence?
C'mon zlat!!!!
Prince. !!! Wow.
Boateng goal. When he scores goals they're always incredible, what a goal! 1-0 Milan.
Yeah, his goal against Barca comes to mind too.
+ tons
What a goal by Boateng!!!
Well, at least RVP is going to have to score now, no one would believe me if I said I was seriously tempted by Prince over Kroos, and since Kroos came in for Shirokov, Kroos has rather a lot to live up to or I will be Kross!
I believe you, Johnny.
For a change. ;-}
Is anyone not watching the Champion's League game?
Anyone playing Europe league fantasy football ???
I hate that bean pole ibrahimavic
Grrrrrrrrrrr
He is quality
Although never performs against English teams
I think his horse tail hair annoys me the most. If you lift it up you will find a tea towel holder
I see that Ibra's 1920's spiv look seems to be coming on nicely.
Headers and volleys!
