While Sunday brought a rather tepid conclusion to the weekend’s action, the lack of incident allowed us more time to digest the numbers behind the Gameweek so far. In this latest foray into the depths of our members data, we offer further insight on the performances of Adel Taarabt, Raheem Sterling and David Silva not only for this weekend, but the last four Gameweeks and season so far. As for Glen Johnson, well, we’ll let the numbers do the talking…
thanks..looks like a good replacement for fellaini if he confirmed to be suspended for a few games
Open Controls
i would wait for news update on fletcher's injury..next gw play against southampton, although not an easy fixture, but he has the chance to score
Open Controls
Sold Ba last week and kinda regret it. Took a punt on Defoe which may still come good. Would love Ba this weekend though!
Open Controlsi did ba -> fletcher just before the dgw, and feels regret doing that move 🙁
Open Controls
Both offer more potential points than Fletcher and both will always play. Ba seems to be more consistant.
Open Controls
I don't have enough cash to bring in Mata or Silva for Fellaini but really want one of the 2 in for this week. I just brought Rooney in for GW17 for a frontline of RvP/Rooney/Berbatov, so I am not inclined to bring in either Tevez/Aguero. Thoughts on Silva or Mata for Cazorla ? Leaning to Silva >> Cazorla. I get ARS have a good holiday schedule but I just am not convinced by ARS's attack.
Open ControlsGood evening DZ- which for the next month: Torres or Suarez? ( have Mata and Sterling).. Thanks!
Open Controlsnone
Open Controls
Is Torres a good option over Tevez until the Jan WC kicks in? I have no other Che or City cover at the moment.
Berba > Tevez/ Torres
Felon > 9.5 or less mid. (Already have Sterling and Punchy).Open Controls
I wouldn't touch Torres. Especially after he's been jetting half way around the world, and especially since he looked more like his old self in that game.
Open Controls
I'd say so. Simply in virtue of him being nailed on and not at risk of rotation. Regaining some confidence, (though yesterday's display didn't inspire).
Is that an either or choice? Cause I'f prefer Mata and Berba to Torres and any other 7mil mid.Open ControlsTevez. No one knows what's in Mancini's head but it is completely obvious his best combination is Tevez/Aguero. I disagree with your point above on Silva. A strong FF history and he bossed the game y'day. The FF points are coming. So, Tevez or Silva for me.
Open Controls
Torres is overpiced for what he offers. Tevez comes with too much rotation
Open ControlsHmmm... Thanks Phaze 1. So just hold Berba over Xmas and hope for something other than 2 points?
Open ControlsBenteke might not be a bad punt with 2 home games in the next 3.
Open ControlsI'd prob roll the dice with Suarez over Tevez and Torres. Is nailed on and has good fixtures. Bound to score a few with the amount of shots he takes on goal.
Open ControlsGood point. Means I would need one of Mata or Silva/Yaya over Xmas too.
Not sure I could afford it as I'd have to rape my team.Open ControlsTeam rape is never fun. I'd had Tevez over Torres but not crazy about either right now. I've gone for Silva, Santi and will have Mata in a week along with RVP, Suarez and Ba. Downside is my Defence is pretty light
Open Controls
tevez..i already have mata so reluctant to double up with torres
Open Controls
Anyone watching the NFL? How are the 49ers only winning this by 7!?
Open Controls
is taarabt's price due to rise very,very soon? getting him in & wonder if i have to do it asap.
who to drop out of afro, walcott or sterling (have enrique & suarez already)?Open ControlsYep, he will probably rise tonight... although i'd make sure you get the decision right rather than worrying about a poxy £0.1m
Open Controls
To Taarabt or not to Taarabt? I'm still not completely convinced, it was only one performance and he's on the suspension tightrope. But for 5.4 he's surely worth it, right?
Open ControlsPlus, his fixtures aren't great.
Open Controls
so Fellaini is pretty nailed on for a 3 match ban. lol
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2249181/Marouane-Fellaini-headbutt-Ryan-Shawcross-cost-games.htmlOpen ControlsEnrique -> Clyne so I can do Fellaini -> Bale/Mata next week? Only problem is I'll have to Ride the following defence till the jan w/c
Clyne, Nelson, Hughes, Ridgewell, DaviesOpen ControlsIs the Jan wildcard the one where you have to use it in January or something?
Open Controls
Just looked at the price change.. As expected benteke went up but why the hell didn't bale go down? Second day in a row he was supposed to go down and didn't..
Damn it!Open Controls
Mate, see my reply to the Portuguese&Proud post below
Open Controls
So Bale price is still the same... again
Open Controls
should i change my mid and forwards to
punch snodgrass mata michu sterling
rvp roon suarez
until my jan w/c? good?or should i ignore roon and get someone cheaper and upgrade punch?Open ControlsBegovic Jaaskelainen
Cameron Shorey J.Enrique Sagna B.Davies
Bale Fellaini Snodgrass Taarabt Michu
Tevez RVP Suarez
what do you think is more urgent for next week?
A) Cameron-->Clichy/Zabaleta
B) Fellaini-->MataOpen ControlsShorey (mci)
Cameron (tot)
B,Davies (MUN)
even if you had to play one of these 3, and i can easily bench Fellaini and still play a decent midfield as long as Bale playsOpen Controls
B, hands down.
Open ControlsB. mata is a season keeper for me, unless people brave enough to gamble on torres.
Open Controls
Taraabt or Ya Ya for the next 3 weeks?
Open Controlstorn between those two players too..and puncheon perhaps.
Open Controls
Does Fiso have something against letting Bale drop in price???
I dont get itOpen Controlsscroll ^^
Open Controls
fellaini > taarabt, yaya, punch?
or
fellaini & enrique > silva & 5.5 def? (4pt hit)
current front 8 is:-
mata fellaini michu walcott sterling
ba RvP suarez.Open Controls
Is Michu fine????
Open Controls
No. Try clearing cache?
Open Controls
Hi guys, how was Ba's goal against ManC last night?
Was it the flukey kind, or the kind that makes you want to captain him against QPR next week?Open Controlsmissed it, but i think every team should have better options for captaincy this week, namely suarez, kun, torres, mata, santi, rooney and of course RvP.
Open Controlswas a decent goal and he had a few chances to score more
Open Controlsit was a very good header
Open Controls
Thanks for the reply guys..
I guess its between Ba RVP or Suarez for me to captain.
But Ba at home vs QPR is sooo tempting... And the fact that it wasnt a jammy hoal against ManC makes me even more convinced to captain himOpen Controlsba could be a decent captain choice
Open Controls
Bego/Bunn
Baines/Enrique/Clark/Nelsen/Gorkss
Michu/Mata/Fellaini/Sterling/Sessegnon
Fletcher/RVP/Suarez
2FT, 2m in the bank.
Do I go:
A - Fellaini+Fletcher > Puncheon+Aguero(C)
B - Fellaini > Silva(C), carry a FT over to GW19.
C - Fellaini+Fletcher > Puncheon+Tevez(C), allows me to go Sess > Bale possibly in GW19.
Thoughts?Open ControlsI like C because you can get bale next week. I'd prefer Aguero over Tevez in a vacuum but thats not possible.
Open Controls
Okay guys, now that the Fellaini match ban is almost imminent, i think we have an arguable decision here...
I know the consensus agree that Mata i the obvious replacement but Hazard is now on the same price (9.5) anf should also be considered. In terms of "fpl form" both have scored equally in PPG (4) in the last 5 game weeks and it seems like Hazard been getting more minutes (Mata more prone to rotation?)
Lets discuss why we are so quickly to dismiss Fellaini>Hazard.Open ControlsMata is involved in way more goals. End of story.
Open ControlsI dont think it is as simple as that...
How do you explain that both Hazard and Mata have scored excatly 20 FPL points in the last 5 gameweeks? And mata didnt start in one of those games, whilst Hazard have started all.
Im not giving a conclusion, just wanted everyones opinion on why Hazard is so much a terrible choicr than MataOpen ControlsHe's off pens, doesnt attack as directly as Mata does. Mata on most set pieces, makes Chelsea tick.
Most of Hazard's points came early on in the season, now Mata is delivering consistent pts. Its quite obvious.Open Controls
hazard plays on the left side of the midfield while mata just behind torres, which means mata has more scoring chances than hazard
Open ControlsThanks for the response guys...
Guess mata is still miles ahead of hazard then..Open ControlsFellaini Walters -> Mata Taarabt for -4 hit.
Perfect.Open Controls
Plus points for Fellaini to Yaya:
1. Nailed on for every match between now and GW22
2. Cheap & safest route into City
3. Hitting some form, as are City
4. City fixtures are decent
Negative points?Open ControlsForm? HA!
Open ControlsBetter than it has been and two goals in two shows he's getting forward again?
Open ControlsNo. His goal was lucky, dont expect more than 2's and 3's and maybe a couple of random bonus.
Open ControlsI'll take lucky goals and 3 x bps (which is what he started to pick up this time last year.......Mancini will know he needs to start pushing him forward, especially as Garcia and Barry can play the def m/f role now....
Open ControlsYou're just making excuses because you cant afford Silva.
Surely if City win by 3+ goals Yaya wont get bps, he only gets them in close matches.Open ControlsI can have Silva, I can have anyone......just don't like taking hits 😉
Open Controls
agreed to all your points, though one of the reason i want to get him is because not enough funds to get silva
Open Controls
1. GW 21 / Jan 5th he's leaving.
2. He's a DM.Open ControlsYaya doesn't really have goal scoring form. He just pops up and scores randomly and is almost impossible to predict. The way you get value from him to to just hold him for long periods of time and hope he pops in 1 or 2. Buying him as a punt is a waste of money.
Open Controls
Until I saw him last night, I didn't realise just how much Demel lacks any attacking threat. He doesn't go up for corners, his crossing when he does venture forward(rarely) down the flank is woeful.
Needs to go.....Open ControlsAs bench fodder goes though, he's not bad at all, gets a fair amount of CS for a 4 million defender.
Open ControlsYeah true but jeez he is hellish to watch.......never expect a single point more.....
Open Controls
Here you are 8 hours later still posting about Demel..lol
Open Controls
Fantasy God is being kind to us. Afro didn't get the red card he deserved on the field, his price still rose and direct replacements (yaya, taarabt, or silva if you have the money) are made available.
Open ControlsNot really, at 7.7. million it's hard to find anyone in that bracket anywhere near his quality, and to bring in the big boys as replacements, many will have to take hits. Hardly kind from the Fantasy Gods!
Open ControlsThis.
Ive been stratchin my head to figure how to get in a CHE cover for the AVL match now i can justify Fellaini>Mata for a hit. 🙂Open Controlsdowngrade walters, imo.
as an arsenal fan, it's strange to see people banking on him in FPL rite now. you might consider replacing him too.
a chelsea fan without mata or torres. come on lah!Open ControlsHello! I only left them out because of the blank.
Im definitely getting mata or hazard back in and tripling during the DGW
Im doing Fellaini Walters > Mata Taraabt
Looks good ey?Open Controlsdefinitely mouth-watering transfers you got there. but i went afro > yaya since i think having a City player is more essential atm.
Open Controls
I agree. I kinda see this as a blessing in disguise. Reckon Everton might hit a bit of a speed bumb now and a chaance to try some other options until Jan WC...
Open Controlsyep, i know the last time they had their best start to the season like this year, they went on to reach UCL spot.. but i think other teams have improved vastly too, so history might not be repeated that easily.
Open Controls
Need Cazorla to rack up 10 pts tonight..........
Open ControlsThis is sad... Im contented with a sceczny CS...
Open ControlsOn 30 pts with sceczny and gervinho to go... Im happy if i finish with 40 this week :'(
I still think gervinho will score as many points as Cazorla though this week! (3pts)Open Controls
I have Giroud.
If those 10 points contain 2 assists for Olivier then I hope Cazorla gets 10 points tooOpen Controls
I've been going about this all wrong. I think I'm gonna start encouraging anyone ranked higher than me who asks about Yaya to buy him.
Open Controlsalready bought yaya. although i'm ranked below you, so it might be of little interest.
Open Controls
Probably been asked many times already, but will Fellaini fall tonight? If not, when?
Open Controls
With rotation in Man U defense now, and Tottenhams upcoming fixtures, what do u think about Rafael to Vertonghen??
Open ControlsNow City are out the CL, is Zabaleta more nailed on? He's certainly above Maicon correct?
And can play RB & LB?
Reckon he's as good away into the City defence as anyone....Open Controls
11 years, 4 months agowhen will yaya going to african nations cup?not enough cash to get silva
