We delve into the data once again ahead of tomorrow’s fast-approaching Gameweek 26 deadline. Hull’s new Croatian frontman and Palace’s debutant are amongst the assessed, whilst we also examine City’s recent goal drought, Tottenham’s Togolese talisman and a couple of in-form wide men who racked up the weekend returns:
Terry and Giroud to Coleman and Dzeko/Sturridge for a hit?
Open ControlsDo it. Get Sturridge if the game is confirmed on.
Open Controls
New idea popped up in mye head. If Fulham game is postponed and Noone does not play. Good idea use all funds and do 1FT = Chester --> Azpi to double up on Chelsea defence? Week after do AJ --> Sterling since Liverpool will have double gameweek at some point.
Open ControlsWBA could easily score and then are at home to Everton the week after. They are strong, yeah, but it is a risk, obviously...
Open Controls
Need help picking my bench for this gameweek, was thinking;
Kosc, Wars, Shaw
Mata, Hazard, Yaya, Lallana
Suarez, JRod, Benteke
with Mannone, Collins, Pozuelo and Olsson benched...
Good to go?Open ControlsCollins over Ward if starting.
Open Controls
What are Suarez/Sterling/Studge owners going to do if Pool game is called off. My team already has Chester/Chambers/Erikesen/None in who are all doubts to start/feature. Fielding 7-8 pre transfers is a shocking thought.
What would you do?Open ControlsI own Sturridge and Suarez but have already taken a -4 so I'll have to use my (average) bench. Post your whole team and I'll give you my opinion on it.
Open ControlsBoruc Davis
Kos Coleman Ward Chambers Chester
Hazard Mata HBA Sterling None
Sturridge Suarez RVPOpen ControlsThought you have Eriksen? Instead of HBA?
Open ControlsSorry, yeah, HBA (not Eriksen) to Sterling last night.
Open Controls
sad sad times.. just completed my Liverpool triangle yesterday by getting Sterling. FML moment
Open Controls
Need to shift Bardsley plus one of Clyne and Chambers. £6.2m budget although I don't necessarily want to spend it all. Should I...
A) Wait and see which Soton def is benched and sell him for Reid if he starts (Have Adrian)
B) Sell Bardsley for Ivan (double up with Cahill
C) Other transfer
D) Save it until we have a better idea about gw29? Can play Cahill // Kolarov // Clyne/Chambers so no real rush which leans me towards D
Ta 🙂Open ControlsI noticed that Suarez was drawn out wide right for a lot of the Arsenal game. Has that been a BR tactic off late, or was that a decision taken for the Arsenal game alone?
He was significantly less involved in the final ball and the move finishing. Anyone with a keen eye been following Liverpool's games the last 3 days?
I'm curious as to whether this is a recurring trend and is the reasons for Suarez's small dip in goalscoring threat.Open ControlsI didn't watch the Arsenal game but have watched most of Liverpool's games before that and I haven't really noticed him out wide much. I think Sturridge generally occupies a more central position which may force Suarez wide on a few occasions.
Open ControlsI read an article saying Rodgers moved Suarez out wider to deal with Ox/Sagna. More worrying is that now over the last 5 games, the position maps show Suarez dropping as deep in possession as Rooney.
Open Controls
The tactics are quite fluid at the moment. Sturridge has to play as CF, Rodgers knows that's his best position. Chelsea were silly playing him wide all that time.
Suarez points could and probably will dip slightly in the last few months because of this.
However Suarez is just so good you can't rule out FK goals, amazing volleys flying in etc., plus his assist potential remains high with Sturridge seemingly finishing most chances so clinically.
I wouldn't sell Suarez by any means, but the automatic Captaincy has lessened slightly.Open ControlsPrecisely my thinking.
I'm considering going Sturridge over Suarez for the arm band. But do you think BR will haul Sturridge off early again this game 'cause they have Arsenal next?
Could that influence a choice between the two for (c)?Open Controls
I think we should prepare ourselves for a Liverpool blank in GW29. Surely Wenger will rest his big guns in the FA cup in preparation for CL.
Another 5-1 on the cards 😉Open ControlsArsenals second string youngsters always seem to thrash people in the FA cup though
Open Controls
Marshall
Fonte Azpi Ollson
Yaya Hazard Lallana Mata
Ade Suarez Studge
Mannone Livermore Kosc Gabbidon
2FT 0.5 in bank
I'm at a loss as what to do here.Open ControlsMarshall > Adrian or Gabbidon > Demel. Save the other one.
Open Controls
Save if you can play a decent team this week. Kos good fixtures next three
Open ControlsThis
Open Controlsteam if Pool game is on:
boruc
coleman shaw demel
haz mata silva sterling
suarez sturridge ade
team if Pool game isn't on:
boruc
coleman shaw demel kos ward
haz mata silva AJ
adeOpen ControlsIt's not pretty but thats more down to lack of SAS rather than Kos stinking up the team. Think you need a chelsea defender though so maybe go for it if the game is cancelled
Open Controls
Boruc, cheapie
Coleman, Azpi, Chambers, (Mert, Evans*)
Hazard, Mata, SIlva, Lallana (Eriksen)
Suarez, Dzeko, Adebayor
2FT. What to do? Evans to Olsson looks a decent option at this point but only really a safeguard. Anything else I could do to maximise points?Open ControlsNeed to get rid of Chambers. I dont know how nailed on he is. Same for Dzeko although he will probably start this week.
Open ControlsChambers very likely to start though. Dzeko will go soon enough too, but for now I'm keeping for these tasty fixtures. Maybe get rid during the blank
Open Controls
Any cash ITB ?
Open ControlsAs close to overdrawn as I can be 😉
Open ControlsIf it was me I'd downgrade Eriksen and get Sturridge in but I doubt you want to lose Ade or Dzeko this week. Get rid of Evans for a WHU def or Olsson.
Open ControlsYeah holding on to them for a week or two alright. Ft will be very useful next week too. Eriksen will be downgraded as soon as I can justify spending the cash elsewhere. Like when agueros back. Cheers man
Open Controls
Evans to Demel/Olsson or Cahill if you can afford him
Open ControlsI wish I could afford Cahill haha. cheers mate
Open Controls
Sturridge and Suarez out leaves me with this bunch..
Worth a -4 to tidy up anywhere?
Boruc
Shaw - Coleman - Cahill - Ward
Silva - Hazard - Lallana - Johnson - Januzaj
Adebayor (C)Open Controls4.9 in the bank I should add.
Open ControlsI'd be tempted by Johnson > Mata but fixture-wise it's probably not the best week to get him in.
Open Controls3 assists in 3 and not yet back to fitness is a nice sign.. but I'm not sure he'll be good value for money in that United side. I might save that cash to do Johnson - Yaya after the blank.
Open Controls
Januzaj to Mata leaps out at me but we will know tomorrow if the game is off so I'd not worry before then
Open Controls
Next three games a re decent
Open Controls
A.Johnson replacement:
A. Silva
B. Yaya Toure
C. Mirallas
D. Other
Current MID: Hazard Mata Lallana A.Johnson Noone
Thoughts appreciatedOpen ControlsLiverpool game is at risk for being postponed 😯 😯 😯
Will we know it before the deadline today?Open ControlsApproximately how many hours to go, TW? Different timezone here.
Open ControlsI'm in a different time zone too btw (USA - PST) 😀
if you mouse over the time stamp on a comment it'll tell you what time (UK time) a comment was posted. pretty helpful
but deadline is in just under 19hrs I believe and we should know about the Pool game 4.5hrs before thatOpen ControlsCheers. Will try it, thanks mate.
Open Controls
😯
This is sh*te. I have SaS.Open Controls
Morning DZ. Need some help.
Which 2 players should i prioritize in getting rid with my 2 FTs this week?
A. Bony
B. Kolarov
C. Terry
D. Eriksen
E. NooneOpen ControlsEriksen. And maybe Noone, you will have the teamsheets
Open Controls
When's Aguero due back?
Open Controls2-3 weeks ... he won't play before the blank.
Open Controls
Complete madness to captain Kolarov if Fulham match is postponed?
Open ControlsWhat are Suarez/Sterling/Studge owners going to do if Pool game is called off. My team already has Chester/Chambers/Erikesen/None in who are all doubts to start/feature. Fielding 7-8 pre transfers is a shocking thought.
Boruc Davis
Kos Coleman Ward Chambers Chester
Hazard Mata Eriksen Sterling None
Sturridge Suarez RVP
What would you do?Open ControlsIf the Liverpool game is off, I assume everyone captains Hazard ?
Open ControlsKolarov and Mirallas my only outfield players at home 🙂
Open ControlsI'm similar, I had about 37 players at home last week.
Open Controls
Terry and Eriksen -> McShane and Hazard?
Open ControlsIF the Liverpool game is on is Rvp-Sturridge worth a ft?
Open ControlsYessssss!
After a hard day of work I can finally put Flappy Bird down. The girlfriend fluked a 76 which I'd been desperately trying to beat - well I just scored 100. Tempted to wake her up to give her the news, haha 😀Open ControlsIf you do you will probably have another flappy bird to contend with 🙂
Open ControlsHave been stuck on 97 for a few days 🙁
Open ControlsI've stuck the corner of a post-it note over the score counter. It kept distracting me and I was getting excitable whenever I got near a record score. Seems to have done the trick.
Open ControlsWow good idea. I always do the same, when I'm getting over 40 or so I take a wee glance at the score and usually die 🙁
Open Controls
I tried it, and couldn't get higher than 1.
It's difficult sometimes being so old. My seven year old was in the 30s last time I looked 🙁Open ControlsNo, I have some wine to finish 🙂
Open Controls
who's the best west ham defender 4.5 or less? demel?
Open ControlsYep. Collins/Tomkins/McCartney all rotation risks. One of the CBs will be first choice but we won't know until Reid is back fit and starting.
Open ControlsIf Reid starts tomorrow we have the answer before deadline
Open Controlsso if Reid starts then you reckon the other CB is the best option?
Open ControlsYeah 'if'. Not so sure he'll be back starting after they've got 3CS in a row but we will find out before deadline, yeah.
Open Controls
What's the best android ap for live score updates, pref with scorers and assisters? I don't there is a FPL one is there? Ta
Open ControlsI use the football app which is good not sure if it's available on android though, it also has a live game feature.
Open ControlsCheers, just downloaded them 🙂
Open Controls
What is going on with Eriksen? Why is everyone getting rid?
Open ControlsBetter options out there tbh
Open Controls
Zab or Ivano?
Open ControlsIvanovic long term, Zabaletta short
Open Controls
Who to play
Ward vs Everton (A)
or
B.Turner vs Villa (H)?Open Controls
