This evening we roll out the final article in our three-part series assessing the stand-out attacking statistics over the first three Gameweeks. Having cast our analytical eye over the Defenders and Midfielders, we turn our attentions up front.
when did UCL fantasy come back
Open ControlsTeam good to go? (Will Entail 1 hit as I plan to do miralas + dzeko >> Brady+ Rvp )
Boruc (foster)
Coleman Ivan Chester (murner ward)
Wally taarabt coutinho Brady (kim)
Soldado lambert Rvp.....0.8m ITB
Could perhaps Downgrade foster/Ivan >> myhill/koscielny and upgrade Brady?Open ControlsRMUCLT
Hildebrand Kaminski
Lahm Alaba Ivanovic Maxwell Ortlechner
Hamsik Vidal Oscar Josue Bruno
Messi Ronaldo LimaOpen ControlsNeeds more zlatan
Open Controlswho is kaminski? Lahm and Alaba?maybe would be better a bayern mid?
Open Controlslol no
@loco
Kaminski i a 3.0m non playing Anderlecht goalkeeper. Lahm and Alaba are great attacking threats, Bayern have a plethora of options in midfield and I don't want to have rotation worries if I can help it.
Plus Bayern's defence is sound.Open ControlsOk,Boateng for Lahm and use the cash to get other playing keeper?
Open Controls
Jordi Alba*
Open Controls
Nice like it ...very strong defence..can understand why... Kaminski plays for??
Open ControlsJust a non playing Anderlecht goalkeeper
Open Controls
more zlatan needed
Open Controls
how is ids WC team??
mig 4m
zab walker chester coleman mbiwa
ozil lamps yaya hernandez ward-prowse
giroud soldado benteke..
ny changes?? nd who do u think shud i captain?Open ControlsLike the strikeforce
Captain soldadoOpen ControlsBenteke for the Captaincy
Open Controls+1. If you dont have RVP then definitely Benteke
Open Controls
Like defense enough.
Walcott a better idea than Ozil IMHO. Goals gets bonus and assists have not thus far.
Don't like Lampard and Yaya, and really don't like having them both there. Lampard is 35 and has't scored more than 12 goals in consecutive seasons in 8 years or so (and he had more than 12 last year), not to mention having only 1 assist last year. Yaya is reliant on scoring from free kicks and midfielders get no bonus for playing well or assists, so he will not keep producing as he has.
Strikeforce is a solid non-RVP template.
As you are on WC, consider if you'll want Suarez after GW5 or not, and have a plan if you do.Open Controls
Who would you prefer to take Welbeck's place for the game tomorrow?
Milner? Young? Other...Open ControlsGosh, what happened to your username... smileys everywhere
Open Controls
If we're looking for a draw, play Milner. If we're looking to win play Townsend. They won't have seen him so wont know how to stop him.
Open ControlsI felt Gabby Agbonlahor was worthy of that spot in the easier fixture, so i'd have liked him involved.
I guess Young has done alright before. He'd be my choiceOpen ControlsMilner. He will work hard, and will get crosses in. Young will just lose the ball.
Open ControlsI'm one of the few people who actually quite like and rate Milner. Plus Young is pish.
Open Controls
Having a hard time with this WC..
1: Zaba or Evra? Thinking Evra myself, partly because i prefer United to City in my team 😀
2: Walcott, Coutinho and Soldado or Sturridge, Øzil and Lamela? Really tough one imo..Open ControlsZaba
The one with soldadoOpen Controls
Who to start this gw
A). Chester
Or
B) collinsOpen ControlsCheers lads
Open Controls
Has anyone actually read the silva article?
Seems like he basically had a tight hamstring so asked not to play.
Internationalitis imoOpen ControlsHoping its no more than precaution. I need him to play
Open ControlsSame here. My guess, hardly unbiased, is that he will play.
Open Controls
Perhaps it is, but it would still be a good excuse for Pellegrini to rest him and introduce Jovetic to the fold.
Open ControlsHe's officially had an MRI scan? Far more reliable news than the Sturridge news
Open Controls
Read the article mate?
He's definitely not injured properly.
I think a light hamstring may be like a tight one when they get taken off, rested a bit then boom back for the gameOpen ControlsGlenn Johnoson out for 5-10 weeks.
No worry for Kolo Toure Owners, if needed Kolo Will pla RB, and Sakho or Skrtel CB!Open ControlsUCL Team:
Willand-Courtois
Mangala-Ambrose-Alaba-Litchteiner-Marcelo(injured but if only one game out i'm sticking)
Draxler-Ribery-Bruno-Oscar-Bernard(or Djuricic/Josué)
Messi-Ronaldo-JacksonOpen ControlsIs that Jackson Martinez upfront?
Bernard > Josue
Draxler not a very good fantasy option change him.
Not bad defence.Open Controls"Draxler not a very good fantasy option"
10 goals last year, not too bad.Open ControlsPoo off
Open Controls
Yep the colombian guy. Shalke group seems fine and Draxler is a wonderkid imo!
Open ControlsJackson Martinez
Love him, he got me a nice (c) haul last season when everyone else's Messi (c) blanked
Gone for Villa this year thoughOpen Controls
draxler is a great option
Open Controls
Out of curiosity (and because posting is free), what are people's team values thus far? Currently, I'm sitting at 101.6
Open Controls101.8 on a WC, think it could shoot up closer to the weekend
Open Controls101.9m. on wc. will drop once I settle on final team.
Open Controlsnice. wish I had the points to show...
Open Controls
100.4 🙂
Open ControlsPpl are too caught up in team value. Points are the most important factor
Open Controlsexactly. wish I had my current players since gw 1. win win.
Open ControlsPoints are always the goal. But, I don't remember how many times my first choice trades were out of reach by .1 because I was making my trades a day before deadline. It yields more flexibility.
Open Controls
Can't wait to have Van Persie, Suarez and Benteke up front in the next few weeks 😎
Open ControlsApparently we maybe turning a corner economically.
Due to the efforts of the Great British People.
According to a privileged Etonian MP and his Posse of bankers.
Well done everybody!Open ControlsIf Johnson is out for an extended period, is this my priority for a transfer or do I concentrate on the Dzeko problem?
Open ControlsSilva owners shipping or keeping?
Open ControlsHazard Injury...
any updates news ??Open ControlsSoldado.
Why? On pens and no injury risk. Plus he is gonna bang them in.Open Controlsnot a factor IMO
Really not sure why people think Suarez' return will suddenly cause Sturridge's goals to dry up. All it does is make Pool more of a threat, no striker created more chances than Suarez last season, and Sturridge will play through the middle with Suarez likely to take Aspas' spot.Open Controls
sturridge
Open Controls
Not seeing a lot of love for David Villa in UCL, any reason why?
Open Controlslewandowski, ronaldo, messi, neymar, rvp, etc.
Open ControlsMessi Ronaldo upfront usually you means you need a cheaper option upfront and there's a great one this year in Lima at 5.5m
Plus David Villa is a bit overpriced and in a slightly tough group.Open Controls9.0 is not that overpriced for a forward of his quality
Open Controls
form me cr7,messi and ribery are must haves. no cash for him.
Open ControlsIn my team
Open Controls

Open ControlsGaston coming on as sub for Lallana, so far
Open Controls
No, Shelvey!!! *loudest voice.
Open Controlsin two weeks when you need money to buy Suarez... not now, please
Open Controls
Who on earth let Cleverley take one!?
Open ControlsFound it interesting that Lamela took one when he came on. Though Eriksen will take those off his hands now I guess.
Open Controls
so suarez falls over his own feet...gets peno...slots it...get player send off with some rolling on ground and scores a second screamer...all for uruguay vs peru. can't wait.
Open Controlsthe one with a beard.
Open Controls
UCL team :
Courtois, Artur
Alaba, Lichsteiner, Toprak, Schar, Ambrose
Isco, Kaka, Draxler, Payet, Bruno
Messi, Ronaldo, Villa
Thoughts?Open ControlsI like it, but maybe Vidal over Isco?
Open ControlsDoesn't Vidal play in a deeper role though? I know he's on pens but I don't think that justifies his price trag (granted I'm not sure where he plays, don't follow Serie A at all)
Open ControlsVidal is no longer oop, or cheap
Pogba is a better cheaper optionOpen ControlsI'll bow to the Juve expert here, Pogba nailed on?
Open Controls
Do my funds look evenly distributed?
Mignolet - Boruc
Zabaleta - Vidic - Coleman - Collins - Chester
Hazard - Walcott - HBA - Hernandez - JWP
Benteke - Soldado - Sturridge
Bank = 0Open ControlsWildcard? Nice team
Open ControlsI'm on my WC also and had Barfa and Hernandez in my team but Barfa just wasn't doing it for me even though he is a safe choice and there is not much more in that price bracket. I like the team though
Open ControlsHow do you copy and paste?
Open Controls
RMT my ucl team pls!
de gea / courtois
lichtsteiner / maxwell / alba / ambrose / david luiz
bruno /vidal/ hovath /josue /oscar
ronaldo / messi / danny
1$ in the bankOpen ControlsDanny is a noop, he plays in midfield. downgrade a defender and upgrade Horvath imo.
Open Controls
RMWCT please
Migs, (Daniels)
Evra, Zab, Mert, (Collins), (Chester)
Walcott, Lampard, Erikson, Sessegnon, (JWP)
Benteke(c), Giroud, SturridgeOpen ControlsAnyone think Sturridge will NOT play vs swans?
Open ControlsHe kept missing games randomly last year due to injuries so I expect the same this year.
Open ControlsI don't like it at all SZ. He's got that feel of 2 weeks playing, 2 weeks injured with niggles all season for me. I hope I'm wrong.
Open ControlsEvening vets. Good start to the season for you. Keep it going pal
Open ControlsI wouldn't mind at least one green arrow!
It's my best start since I can remember though.
You're there or there abouts... as always 🙂Open ControlsI'm just trying to not knee jerk and have faith in my players.
But patience is wearing thin with mirallas and coutinho......:-(Open Controls
Please share the joke MJ. This isn't some useless friendly England are playing...
Open ControlsProbably just my skepticism.
Seems strange that they knew he had the injury prior to the United game and yet Sturridge still played the full match.Open ControlsThink LFC have just taken the opportunity to give him the two weeks rest to make sure he's ready.
Open Controls
I have him on my wc. selling though. where there is smoke....
Open Controls
I have Oscar, Silva and Sturridge. Injury concerns. Do i need to Wildcard?
Open ControlsIs everyone expecting a Hull clean sheet vs Palace?
Open ControlsCardiff is it
Open Controls
I'm on my WC...would it be stupid not to include RVP?
