We delve into the data of the Gameweek 27 fixtures this evening in the first of this week’s members articles. Cardiff’s new midfielder, Hull’s Croatian marksman, the form men up front at Liverpool and City and Norwich’s weekend match-winner are all on the radar:
Is it worth swap RVp for augero in gw30 before the dgw? I still have mata for utd coverage or I could do Lallana out for silva
Open ControlsLallana out for Silva is madness.
Open ControlsAugero in for rvp then?
Open ControlsYes, but I would wait on it. What does the rest of your team look like?
Open Controls
Yes IMO.
Silva hasn't really had a great season FPL wise.Open Controls
Am trying v hard to get rid of silva
Open ControlsThere's always one 😛

Open ControlsThanks AA7..... you're my favourite 🙂
Fingers crossed, he is quality and they need a spark... he links up well with Adebayor too so should should should...Open Controls
Steve Bruce has done a fantastic job at Hull. I'd be shocked if they were relegated, something most were tipping them for at the start of the season!
Open ControlsSame with Pulis at Crystal Palace. Cardiff, Fulham and West Brom are the teams I think will get relegated so far.
Open Controls
Help Please! Ive 1 Ft and 5.1m in the bank. I need rid of dzeko today. Was half think of doubling up on Chelsea defence and getting Terry in for chambers and lambert in for dzeko for a hit of course
Boruc
Ward. Koscinly. Coleman. Chambers. Azp
Hazard. Lallana. Sterling
Adebayor. Suarez
Mannone. Dzeko. Silva. MataOpen ControlsFor a hit?
Open Controls
I can field 9 for gw29 without any hits os this enough or worth taking a few hits to field 11?
Open ControlsWho would you have on the bench with 9 playing?
Open ControlsKos Coleman suerez colback Collins mannone
Open Controls
Is it just me or are both Hull and West Ham players more attractive than Man UTD players in DGW31?
GW29 has so few good fantasy options playing I don't already have it seems sensible to sacrifice that GW and add a further 3 players free for DGW31.
What are others doing?Open ControlsChester, Nolan, Demel, Carroll, Aguero, Toure, Rooney are good picks for that DGW IMO. I'm sure I missed a few players. I have Mata but I'm not convinced he'll do much.
Open ControlsYeah, I also have the Mata conundrum. Loathe to get him out as a sideways move for another DGW mid but no way in hell he's with me for GW32 unless he scores!
I'm putting out 8 in GW29 🙁Open Controls
Mcgregor in for Marshall for me
Open Controlsexactly the same as i am planning
So many short-sighted people in here wanting to get 11 bad players playing for GW29
I'm gonna have 6 max with 7 double game-weekers already in my teamOpen ControlsIt's reasonable logic. 25 starters over 2 Gameweeks makes it immaterial as to whether you play 7 in GW29 and 18 in GW31 or 11 & 14 over the same two GWs. So going with the better 25 players with better fixtures is a good strategy. Beware the rotation factor, however. There's typically more resting required within a DGW.
Open ControlsThere is no guarantee that u will earn back the lost points in the dgw. Ppl always commented gw29 are all bad players..but forget abt the fact tt palace and manu has game on gw29 as well as a dgw coming up. Nt to mention the fact tt actually alot of other players lyk hazard lallana etc are all good players and are playing. Its not tt tough to get 11 out with proper planning and oso get a decent num of dgwer for gw31
Open Controls

How about looking at this table for a more in depth statistical analysis of the reason behind the different conversion rates for Sturridge and Suarez?
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/4606/Open ControlsPS, sort by Liverpool and look at the last columns
Open ControlsIt's purely a result of him playing wide. Now Sturridge is on the end of all the 'big chances' through the middle with the 1-on-1s etc, whereas Suarez's shots are now coming from oblique angles.
Open ControlsI honestly wish I'd looked at this table last week when deciding to go with Suarez.
Open ControlsI admit I've not had time to watch any game recently so I was relying on stats! Any chance of this trend changing you reckon?
Open ControlsSuarez and Sturridge seemed to play in the center equally last game. The game before that though Suarez was on the left wing most the time. The front 3 of Liverpool's attack interchange a lot.
Open ControlsYeah, this was my understanding too, just suprised that Suarez is choosing/being asked to play a more supporting role in certain games.
Open ControlsIt seems they do that, but while when Sturridge was starting wide, he would inevitably cut inside. The number of times we were attacking and I was like "where the hell is Suarez?" was alarming. Camped out on the LW far too much. I don't think Sturridge stayed wide at all all game.
Open Controls
I'd expect Suarez's rate to improve – he's too good for it not to – but as long as Sturridge is playing central then he's the better option.
Open ControlsSuarez might do better next game if Rodgers drops Coutinho and puts Allen in. Liverpool seem to have better control of the game with him in which seems to benefit Suarez.
Open ControlsThat's because Gerrard was absolutely dreadful defensively. If we play 4-2-3-1 then Henderson can't be allowed so much freedom. Gerrard on his own defending the back four is an accident waiting to happen.
Open Controls
Suarez is undoubtedly the better player but Sturridge is red hot finishing so if you were Rodgers why would you change things and upset the apple cart?
Having made the balls up of going with Benteke over Sturridge to avoid doubling up with Suarez when Aguero was injured I'm now contemplating dropping Suarez when Aguero is back for DGW31 to free up funds.
Might drop Ade too. Jelavic in 31 followed by a stream of DGW's for other cheap strikers is better than 1 game per weekOpen Controls
Is Lallana the best MF option to come in for Silva? Only needs to be for next two GWs as wildcarding immediately after that.
Open ControlsYep
Open Controls
Aguero , RVP , Suarez
Think I'm going the Harrods front line after the blanksOpen ControlsAll this planning, saving of FT's and optimization ahead of GW31 - you've gotta remember that at least two of your key players will be out injured by then 😉
Open ControlsTeam ATM is
Marshall Mannone
Ivanovic Ward Coleman Burner Clyne
Mata Eriksen Lallana Hazard Pozuelo
Suarez Sturridge Adebayor
I have 1FT and 0.7 ITB
Plan for GW 28:
Clyne to MOlsson OR Eriksen to Snodgrass
GW 29:
Suggestions?
GW 30:
Try to bring in Aguero for Ade possibly depending if Kun is back or not
GW 31:
Load up on City and Utd players for the DGWs
Any ideas what else I could do especially for GW 28?
Cheers in advance 🙂Open ControlsLiv vs sunderland @ GW29
highly unlikely eh guys??Cuz of the Uefa rule of no match telecast on UCL day or will they prepone to monday??Open ControlsWill be postponed
Open Controls
I know that I am getting ahead of myself here, but with my abysmal team for GW29 I prefer to focus on GW31.
Which would you choose:
A) Yaya + Kolarov/Demel
B) Silva + ZabaletaOpen ControlsA) Lol
Open ControlsCheers. Is it just me though, or does Pellegrini prefer Clichy against tough opponents? Ok, it can be argued whether United at Old Trafford is a tough opponent, but I see a potential rest for Kolarov in that match.
Open ControlsI suppose but Pellegrini played Kolarov LM against Barca so that is always good to see
Open ControlsTrue, thanks. And United's fullbacks, like Barca's, are eager to rush forward, sometimes leaving a lot of space for a player like Kolarov to take advantage of.
ATM I'm 0.1 short of getting Aguero, Yaya and Kolarov though, but I'm confident that Yaya will drop at least that before GW30. I'm also confident that I will get some injuries along the way that will derail my plan altogether, but thanks for the feedback anyway.Open Controls
Is it definite that there are only 5 games in gw 29?
Or could some matches be scheduled to still be in the same gw?Open ControlsUnlikely. They'd need to be scheduling them immediately if they're going to happen. I think we'll be going with just the 5.
Open Controls
Just on the topic of Suarez vs. Sturridge:
There is one thing in particular why Sturridge is outscoring Suarez. This is because Sturridge is playing in a central Striker role but Suarez on the other hand is playing a sort of left CAM role. If these 2 stay in these positions Sturridge will be the better option. Sturridge has got red-hot finishing also which is always a plusOpen ControlsI think it's very simple. Sturridge's conversion rate has been much better than Suarez's recently. I'm pretty sure that's really the only reason.
Open ControlsSturridge has simply been more selfish than Suarez lately.
Open ControlsWith good reason, looking at his stats.
Open Controls
I shared this yesterday:
http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/latest-news/155973-analyse-swans-win-with-chalkboards
The average position shows Suarez as center forward, with Sturridge as a right CAM. Actually Sterling played much further forward than Sturridge against Swansea. If you look at touches and involvement, you also see that Suarez was much more active in the final third.
Football is a game of margins and lately the margins have been going more Sturridge's way. Suarez is pure class however, and I'm confident that he'll give me a brace or two before the end of the season. Having said that, I'm a believer in SAS and am planning to keep both to the bitter end (or until Sturridge gets injured or Suarez sent off for something stupid).Open Controls
Morning guys. Glad I held back on getting in Nolan for AJ. Got Lallana instead. What else would you do or is the team good to go. Can only field 10 this week. 9 if Koscielny doesn't play. Any transfer needed for a hit or leave it as it is?
Kelvin Davies, Boruc
Ivanovic, Ward, Koscielny, Bardsley, Demel
Lallana, Mata, Yaya Touré, Hazard, Álex Pozuelo
Sturridge, Adebayor, Suárez
0FT 2.2 ITBOpen Controls2 options for me for the upcoming GWs:
(A)
GW28: Chester & Silva ➡ Ivanovic & Snodgrass
GW29: Kosc & Mirallas ➡ Fonte & Lallana (-4)
(B)
GW28: Chester & Silva ➡ MOlsson & Lallana
GW29: Kosc & Mirallas ➡ Fonte & Snodgrass (-4)
WC after anyways.
So (A) or (B) ?Open ControlsA, just

Mornin all
Trying to make a long post short ................... if you could have two City players from GW30 onwards, who would they be ?
I'm assuming Yaya + Aguero would be everyone's cuppa, but you ever knowOpen ControlsI actually prefer Nasri to Yaya.
So Nasri and Aguero for me.Open ControlsIntersting. I assume because of his differential value?
I like him too but with City almost deffo out of CL, will he not be rotating with Navas?Open ControlsThere's obviously a rotation risk, but when he plays he's always a goal threat and he was a key player when City were scoring freely a couple of months back.
Also, Aguero will probably take the penalties away from Yaya when he returns.
I'll be taking a punt on Nasri.Open ControlsThx. helps the budget out a treat too
Open Controls
Forgetting about gw29 who is the best forwards apart from Liverpools for 28?
Open ControlsAdrian
Azpi coleman chambers ward flanagan
Hazard noone lallana
Suarez ade(c)
Mannone rvp mata silva
If i do silva to snodgrass that gives me 10 outfield for week 29 and means i can save my transfer to get in a couple city players for the start of the doubles.
Seem a good idea?xOpen ControlsAnyone notice how much Luka Modric looks like a heroin addict?
Open ControlsMadness I know but have 2 FTs and think I'm gonna just bench Mata and Yaya.
I'm gonna bring in Scott Dann or Ryan Bennett for Bruce this week.
This gives me at least 11 players this week and 9 GW 2.
Too much of a headache trying to bring Yaya back with Agero comeback on horizon.
Team GW28
Adrian
Sagna Azpi Shaw Ward
Hazard Lailana Noone
Ade(c) Suarez StudgeOpen Controlshow does this front 3 look after the blanks : Aguero, Sturridge & Ade
Open ControlsNasri or Navas to accompany Kun & Yaya after the blanks?
Open ControlsLove all the "for gw31, should I swap x for y or z?"
We are one step short of "next season, should I draft Michu for 7.0 or wait till he hits form?"Open Controls6 of the top 10 most purchase players today don't have a game in GW29 😯
Open ControlsGuess they will be GW29 droppers.
