We cast our analytical eye over the weekend’s data after last night’s match at Selhurst Park drew a line under the numbers from Gameweek 8. Plenty of big names impressed – Arsene Wenger’s new playmaker, City’s attacking twosome, a revitalised Belgian’s display at the Bridge and a certain Uruguayan all come under the spotlight…

Anyone else terrified of not owning Aguero? That being said, I am debating on whether Silva is better value. They're both injury prone but are the focal points of the best offense of the league. Silva also likely to get more minutes. Aguero would make my team very top heavy as well.
Open Controls -
Giroud, Ozil, Lukaku or Sturrige for captain? I have serious ground to make up.....
Open Controls-
Ozil.

Starting a new comment about this.
Really makes no sense to me to do this Rooney->Aguero transfer for GW10 that seem so popular. City have a CL game 3 days later that will decide whether they qualify for the knock out stages and Aguero will most likely be rested for that game. I can see a Dzeko Jovetic pairing. Also Rooney has Fulham, normally a great fixture for him.Open Controls-
yes holding rooney for now
Open Controls -
Might just do it now and forget about it...
Can do Erikson, Nasty and Rooney -> Rambo, Ivan and Aguero for -4.
Would be able to afford tomorrow. Mighty tempted given Wiltshire knock helps RamboOpen Controls -
Risky business.
He *could* also start and score a hattrick.Open Controls -
Normally great, other than when he gets sent off?
Open Controls -
I do not want either to be honest Lukaku at 8 and Benteke at 8.8 screams value for money to me. Sturridge won't stop scoring too. My plan is to make no transfer and ditch Rooney in the near future. Thoughts ?
Open Controls -
So far, we haven't seen Rooney getting a double digit score.... I, too am thinking of replacing him soon....
aguero may have blanks and come from the bench but, he seems to be in a form where he can have a blast, which Rooney's lacking till nowOpen Controls -
If aguero plays 45 mins amd gets subbed off.. he could easily still be the highest scoring player for the round.. man city look like theyve got more goals in them than anyone, so personally I feel like I need the most attacking teams best striker in my team.

d) Lallana (good stats)
e) Hazard (already have Oscar)Open Controls -

Anyone gave a thought about Snodgrass..... isn't he DUE 😛

Which would you choose...

B) Vidic, Mata, and Eriksen >Clyne, Silva and HazardOpen Controls-

Then bring Silva in the next GW if you still want him.Open Controls

Hazards run for Toerres' second goal was DISGUSTING! Almost enough to bring him in just for that!

Anyone else getting Hazard?
Would you prefer:
Ramsey & Ivan (got Girou, Ozil but not Chels attack)
Or
Hazard & Shaw (no Chels def, but doubling up on SOT)Open Controls -
Keep Evra or Nastasic?
Open Controls-
nasty.
Open Controls -
Keeping Evra is not something ManU will be able to do by the end of the season.
But for you, I'd probably say they both have tough fixtures coming up, Evra is more nailed on in general yet Nas is nailed on more now with City injuries. Evra for now me thinks.Open Controls -

So. Diego Costa. Suddenly prolific this season.
Played 2 friendly games for Brazil already.
Now Spain want him and FIFA are saying friendlies dont count when tying yourself to a nation. Never mind he is actually Brazilian.
Should this be allowed?
I really hope they dont get to do this.
Just because they had to play 4-6-0 at the Euros they're stealing players now.Open Controls-

Not as bad as Belgian born.
To me, birthplace should be the sole deciding factor.
It isnt club Football. What has Costa got to do with Spain anyway? Residence means nothing. I'm Scottish. If I go to japan for 5 years, does that make me Japanese?Open Controls-
you're 100% right , Decisions like these should not be tolerated
i mean if you played for one national team then switch to another , it means you don't have loyalty to both teamsOpen Controls

2 FT with only .2 in the bank. What to do....
Migs (Steer)
Walker, Vidic, Koscielny (Burner, Chester)
Ozil, Michu, Moses, Brady (JWP)
Suarez, Giroud, Rooney
Other than JWP, I don't see a MUST transfer this week because of great fixtures. Problem is I want Ravel to replace JWP but I'm .1 short. Does it make sense to drop Migs for Boruc this week, save some cash, and not let a free transfer go to waste? Boruc has great fixtures coming up and the extra cash could help me upgrade midfield next week. Thoughts? Thanks!Open Controls -
Feels so good to finally getting rid of expensive Cech, had him since the start!

I thiink I'm keeping both Evra and Nasty.....
Eriksen + Barkley OUT
Hazard + Brady INOpen Controls -
Could I please get some help? Here's my team:
Mig (Marshall)
Dawson Zabaleta Terry (Ward, Brayford)
Eriksen Ramsey Ozil Michu (Kim)
Lukaku Giroud Sturridge
2FT and 0.8M in the bank.
I'm going to hold on Eriksen and Zabaleta, I think they'll play this week-end. I think I need to sort out my bench. Kim and Brayford are no good. Who would people suggest as replacement? R. Morrison for Kim maybe? What about Brayford? Who's a good budget defender who's got some chances of CS?Open Controls-
kim to brady
clyne is best budget def imoOpen Controls-
Thanks.... Yeah, I was thinking of Clyne. Was in my GW1 team but ended up out because of injury. Brady and not Morrison? Why?
Open Controls

Actually, I can't, not enough mullah. Brayford to Clyne and I'm left with 4.7M... I lost 0.4M on Kim. I suck!
Open Controls-
That sucks! Yeah, I also got Kim, and he's annoying me week in week out...
But got more pressing transfers every week, haha.
Get Morrison then, pretty good bench material!
Btw, Im also keeping faith in Eriksen this week, but he must go after this week!Open Controls-
My thoughts exactly. I'm pretty sure he'll play, but if he doesn't do something, anything, he's out.
So if I have 2 FTs but only use 1 this week I'll have 2 again next week, right? I can just do brayford to Clyne now and wait until I decide what to do with Eriksen to get rid of Kim.Open Controls-
Yeah, you will still have 2 if you save.
Sounds good! I also had 2 FTs, but just got rid of Cech for Mcgregor, Cech took up so much money. But have Ward,Davies,Chester in defence so think I must use the last FT also. Maybe Davies->Clyne, leaves me with 2.7 in bank, and then I can afford to get in for example Aguero next week.Open Controls-
I may ditch Marshall sometimes too but he's a safety net. Now I'm thinking of getting rid of Zabaleta frankly. Useless...
Open Controls-
Maybe get in a def from swansea for their fixtures!
Open Controls-
None of them in big form though. Not sure... I don't know. I have Michu, not really thrilled by his returns recently. But I guess they did keep 2 CS in a row... playing West Ham at home... that might work... Chico...

is there any midfielder worth getting for Eriksen up to 9.1, not being Michu, Oscar or Hazard ? I'd also need some nice argumentation to bring Silva in again into my team.

Any fantasy-MLS followers around? I'm still alive in the Cup as we head to round 8. Zusi and Cahill seem safe and reasonable transfers, although i also don't have Camilo and expect him to battle hard for a goal. Thoughts for 2 of those 3. I won't do anything until I see who my opponent is tomorrow, but am trying to plan ahead.
if considering a wild punt, anyone tempted by a Chivas player and their double game week? If so, who? Any game scream loads of goals? It's always hard to know what to expect from teams that have been eliminated but I kind of feel like a non-game is going to be the fantasy gem.
And, what is everyone expecting from Seattle-Galaxy? Goals? Defense? Blowout? Which way?Open Controls-
No Chivas. They suck.
I got in Camilo, Keane, Morales and Borchers if that helps.
LA will win.
I fancy RSL to batter Chivas tmrw. Get Morales if you don't own him.Open Controls-
I've already got Keane so covered there. I transferred Morales out back in gw29 when they didn't play. It's worked out well enough, but definitely worthy of a look to bring him back in. Good call.
I know Chivas have struggled (to put it kindly) but can't help but think that they may pull something out of one of these last games. But cooler heads should prevail.
Thanks!Open Controls
