We delve into the data from the previous Gameweek and beyond in our assessment of the main midweek protagonists. Tottenham’s clinical marksman, Liverpool’s faltering frontman and a pair of Villains come under analysis this evening, as do United’s off-form forward, the Swans’ Spanish creator and Newcastle’s shooting displays, with the Magpies now failing to score in each of the last four:
-
What if we get a draw from these two games on this weekend?
City vs Chelsea
Arsenal vs Liverpool
Does it mean we have to keep carrying our FT and can't plan the major part for GW29 yet?Open Controls-
We won't be able to plan properly until it is decided if the postponed games can be played midweek, for those not in CL/Europa.
Open Controls-
those = only Liverpool 😉
Open Controls-
🙂
The other games are somewhat important too 😉Open Controls-
😀 I understand, especially Noone, Mannone and Mirallas owners like me.
Luckily for Natster his concern are for those 4 teams only. 😛Open Controls-
Not just those four I do concern, but I think our money are heavily invested on players from those four and our FPL points mainly came from players from those four.. 🙂

Navas likely to be benched vs Stoke due to Nasri being back? Need to decide whether to move him out this week or save the ft and do it next week.

Gouffran and Remy are back, Luuk DJ anyone? their fixtures are good and newcastle need goals right?
Open Controls-
Will Luuk start now with Remy back? Do you think Pardew will run out the both of them and go 4-4-2?
Open Controls-
gouffran - Luuk - remy ? that look promising to me
Open Controls-
I would be a little nervous about putting Remy on the wing but they had to have a formation of this type in mind when they transferred in De Jong so what do I know. They couldn't have looked worse since they lost Cabaye so why not? They need Colo back desperately.

Avoid NEW imo. Still suffering from the trickle down effect after losing their best player.
Open Controls-
Well yeah this is advisable, but it is still fun to speculate and think about what they will look like for the rest of the year 😉
Open Controls-
I know 😀
Fantasy wise, the only player i'd consider is HBA, becaue he's a proven quality, explosive and peni duties. But atm he's not nailed on, out of form & we have a lot of other candidates in our midfield. Wish he's at a different team.Open Controls-
*because
*peno
😆Open Controls -
B'Arfa! 😯 "The Taarabt of the North East"? Not for me ta.
Of those, Gouffran......................... except I've just noticed FPL have him as a striker.
OK so, No Newcastle unless B'Arfa starts playing as if he's a footballer of some reputation and skill again.Open Controls

How's it looking? Hoping to keep all my "blankers" and just hope my other XI all start.Open Controls-
Looks really good Freddy. Only thing I would consider changing is Sterling v JRod. Gut call there - could have a reasonable argument for starting either. Definitely save your transfer. Hope there isn't a hurricane to feck up your GW 🙂
Open Controls-
Cheers Walshy! Hoping there are no major injury concerns after the cup... Sterling vs J.Rod is a tough call. May end up fielding the latter just in case West Ham concede, Rodriguez may very we'll be involved 😀
Open Controls-
Really and truly is a tough one that. Surely Pool will put up 3+ at home but Sterling is such a supplemental piece of their offense and so dependent on service he could easily blank. JRod sort of the opposite regarding his influence on his team's attack but couldn't really imagine them putting any more than 2 past the Hammers at home. Hope you make the right call.

Weimann will return to starting this GW then.
Very cheap @5.8m. 🙂Open Controls-
Was a massive differential last year, when everybody went with the Beast. Risk it if you want.
Open Controls-
Have you any idea how he has played in the last few NABIL? I've not seen the games.
Open Controls-
Me neither. Never played the full 90 minutes in the last 4, and only a sub in the last game. I'd avoid.
Open Controls -
But I can recall he forced a great save from Marshall. So he's taking a fair amount of shots like usual 😛
Open Controls-
I think I'll swerve him, got him in after his injury (the first one) and wasted a valuable striker spot for a number of weeks, which started the rot for my season.
I blame Benteke. 😡Open Controls

Ok. I had a look and this are my wishful FA CUP results on this weekend.
> Sunderland to beat Southampton .. CPL vs SOU green to go on GW29
> A cupset. Cardiff lost to Wigan .. CAR vs FUL to be played
> Man City won over Chelsea .. CHE vs TOT to be played
> Everton lost to Swansea .. NEW vs EVE to be played
> Arsenal lost to Liverpool .. Just that I’m a pool supporter. 😉
How likely will it be -- x of 5 ?Open Controls-
Sunderland beating Southampton and Swansea beating Everton seem unlikely from that lot
Open Controls -
You missed the BIG one. Who for that?
Open Controls-
City to beat Chelsea
Pool to beat Arsenal or at least draw. Don't see an Arsenal win here with eyes on Europe midweekOpen Controls
-
-
All are likely to happen, except the last one 😉
On a serious note, all results you mention are favourable to most FPL players - i'm sure not all will happen. I hope you're right on every occasion except for the first (Mannone owner and no Soton) and last prediction (SaS here!).Open Controls -
Arsenal should lose this match for their own sake. Or at least play seriously second squad. If they give 70+ minutes to Öz and Groo, that tells just that they are determined to lose to Bayern.
And frankly, I think they have a chance against Bayern. Wenger is traditionally difficult to Pep, and Arsenal beat Ribéry-less Bayern last season. Victory in the first match, and they've got all chances.
Sunderland - Southampton, less likely. I can see Southampton aiming to win the Cup as their only chance to any title, and they're significantly better than Sunderland.
Everton lost to Swans... not. I wish that too, but unfortunately can't see it happening. Cardiff needs victories, probably will be difficult.Open Controls-
I think so that Arsenal should put Bayern on top of this week priority and try to win the first game. The line-up tomorrow should tell us more for how Wenger thinks.
I have not thought about Southampton's target, but I feel you are probably right here. The clash of City v Chelsea and Arsenal v Liverpool just make it better for Southampton's chance to trophy. They should field their strongest team and try to win.
I'm still being hopeful for the Swans to win probably by new manager's effect.
Cardiff ... You never know which Wigan will come to the field on any week. They can do anything.Open Controls

Glad to hear you have been on the up recently. I have sadly faced 3 straight reds...so hoping to reverse my recent form. The two postponed games completely destroyed my GW sadly. Oh well! Turn the page and look forward to next weekend 😉
Open Controls-
Ya, my decision to go with no City cover and to hold on to Kosc really helped. I hade a huge boost in the rankings last couple of weeks. If i had done well the first month i would have surely had a really good rank now. Oh well,maybe next season.

Evening gents
If Pool had a blank in GW29, would you keep Rooney or still ship for Sturridge?
Next 5:
Rooney: cry, blank, wba, LIV, DGW
Sturridge: SWA, sou, blank, mun, TOTOpen Controls-
-
Cheers, I just feel the second I sell Rooney he's gunna bang in a brace..
Open Controls
-

Would you be able to use your transfer on each to avoid benching them? If Pool blank in 29 you will have to keep Suarez due to potential huge loss of value and seems a bad job to bench Sturr also. Can you transfer Rooney out in 28 for a lad and then transfer Sturr out in 29 for a different lad? Should be able to keep a 3-4-3 formation followed by a 4-4-2 for those weeks I reckon?
Open Controls -
TBH Acqua I'd get rid of Rooney if Utd had the only game that week home to Fulham.

OK, maybe that was the tiniest of exaggerations, but you get my drift.

If WHam have a game in GW 29, who is the better AJ replacement.?
Nolan or Adam?
Tripling up on SS Gerrard a little too much?Open Controls-
Rather have Nolan over Adam in the battle of the old men.
Given Liverpool's strong fixtures upcoming and Stevie's consistency can't see how tripling (doubling - everyone owns #7) is too much. Only thing is that with City having a deluge of DGWs coming up you may be better off going with Silva or someone instead.Open Controls
