Paul We analyse the numbers from Saturday and Sunday’s matches as Fantasy managers assess their options ahead of the double Gameweek. United’s misfiring Dutchman, Hull’s pair of strikers, a couple of Goodison Belgians, Cardiff’s new Spanish centre-half and Tottenham’s toils up top are all on our radar in the first of this week’s members articles:
Gabbidon --> Zab (-4)
or
Play Ivanovic
Jelly vs Lukaka
Jelly has better fixtures over the next 3 and a lot more differential appeal. I fancy hit to out score Lukaku.
BUT Hull have a GW34 blank, whereas Everton have a DGW. Is that enough to make Lukaku the automatic pick? I'm on a WC and could always use my FT to bring Lukaku in ahead of his second DGW, but it I am wary about planning the use of all my FTs (1-2 of my 3 FTs up to GW34 are already planned)
Jelly edges Lukaku in RMT for the next 3 as well
Luka should never be classed as an auto pick. Outside of his run good when he first came to everton he hasn't done a whole lot apart from some dodgy assists. He's a better player than Jelly though and plays for a better team so I'd still give him the slight edge
I only say he's the automatic pick because of the lack of other strikers really. I almost feel like he's in my team by default. I'm really tempted to look elsewhere but 6 games in 4 GWs is very difficult to overlook
Agree. He in mine for the same reason. Other options would be punts at best and only carry simialr upside. Rooney/RVP play for a shocking united who don't creat alot even with players like Mata and Kagawa???? Unreal how bad moyes has them playing. Jely/Giroud etc just don't impress me.
Any news on Aguero or should I sell him for Lukaku now?
I know it's not easy but I'd be tempted to wait. If he's declared fit, it really is a game-changer, even if he only gets 20-30 mins vs Fulham and then plays vs United
Okay, how does Mata and Lallana to Gerrard and Nolan in the meanwhile sound. If Aguero has no positive news by the deadline I will ship him for Lukaku.
Doubt he will be risked vs Fulham unless it's a draw after 60. Saved for United at best imo.
Is dzeko actually an option for this gw? It looks like I'm going to have to have a mid range striker to go with Suarez and lukaku, and he seems the best option?
He won't start both in the double I don't think, but he's a good pick
If any other striker was at city I'd back them over Can't hit the target Dzeko. The dude is actually terrible. Prob misses the target from good chances more than any other striker. That being said he gets alot of chances and will score some by chance and this could be the lucky week.
Better pick than other options.....caroll, jelavic, borini?
Lallana to:
A) AJ
or
B) Nolan
Is Zab being on 8 YC a worry for anyone else? I'd had to have to take him out before his double in GW34.
Can't believe I'm asking this but is Demichelis the better option?
No.
Isn't the threshold increased to 15 at the beginning of April? He needs to get booked in 2 of his next 3 games to get banned if this were the case
That makes me feel slightly better about it. Its either Zab-4 or double Chelsea this week. I'm not sure it truely makes sense for just the hit but it gives me a chance to finally remove Whittaker
Why?
Not worth it. Get Chester if you want to waste a transfer on a defender.
FT done, worth to take a hit get rid of bruce and/or mata?
Mannone (marshall)
Coleman azpi BRUCE (fonte ward)
Hazard MATA yaya aj (punch)
Luk suarez studge
1.0
I'd rather do Mata to Gerrard.
Mata -> Gerrard would be the move. I can't do it as it would be -8
Just need you guys to tell me its gonna be ok with my current team. The way things are going Gerrard and Yaya will get 5 Pens this weekend but I don't think theres much I can do about it now.
Mannone
Zabaleta, Flanagan, Terry
Mata, Silva, Mirallas, Hazard
Lukaku, Suarez, Sturridge
Boruc, Azpilicueta, Kim, Ward
If Che doesnt concede against Ars we r looking for at least 6 for Azpi +4 for the hit=10pts
Zabs has Fulham and Manutd. Is he going to cover that? What if Richards plays the Ful game?
I took Mata out for Gerrard this week, until either RVP or Rooney get injured, Mata will be lost on the wing, when he gets put back in the 'hole' I'll consider getting him back.
Picking which 3 EVE players to go with is proving rather tricky with my WC - 5 clear candidates, but only room for 3!!
Baines
Coleman
Distin
Mirallas
Lukaku
Which 3 are you going with?
Soon as I saw Mirallas on the list I knew you were not serious.
Harsh.
most shots in the box of ALL midfielders 😯
He is VERY frustrating to own though, but every now and then his shots do go in! 🙂
He's not nailed on and almost never plays 90 mins. No real chance of assist points as he never passes the ball. Just a terrible player to own. If I could I would have got rid a while ago but always had other fires to put out. Do not do this.
There are options for Martinez in the EVE midfield for sure, but he is at least as likely to start as Pienaar, Deulofeu, Osman, McGeady & Barkley imo. He's started the most so far (24 of 28 games this season).
Shooting rather than passing is actually a good thing for fpl (see Sturridge). Granted, he's very wasteful, but at least he is taking shots!
So does Dzeko. If he could shoot this would be great for his owners but he can't. Least would be nice to get an assist every so often to keep things ticking over.
Baines, Coleman and Lukaku.
Surely there are only 3 clear candidates? Baines, Coleman and Lukaku.
Despite the hatred for him on here (a lot of which is justified), I still think Mirallas is a decent pick - 11th highest mid in fpl, most shots in box of all mids, plays almost as advanced as Lukaku and is on some freekicks.
Yeah, this concerns me a little also. Definitely max of 1 EVE attacker.
But, thoooosssse fixtures! 🙂
Guys, assuming no other pressing matters, would you do A. Johnson to Gerrard for free? (Along with S&S)
Have just enough for this WC team - thoughts?
Manonne
Baines, Coleman, Williamson
Yaya, Silva, Gerrard, Mirallas
Suarez, Sturridge, Jelavic
Gazzaniga, Terry, Chester, Ki
Solid. Between Chester and Williamson for final place in team.
You reckon it's worth downgrading one of Baines/Coleman/Mirallas so that I have enough cash for Gerrard -> Hazard next week?
Mirallas is easiest to lose.
Kinda want 3 EVE for their next 4 weeks though, and none of the other EVE mids appeal at all. How about Mirallas & Jelly -> Delph & Lukaku?
Would leave enough for Gerrard -> Hazard.
Rotating Chester, Williamson, Delph and Ki for one spot isn't actually that bad....
Who to play this week, Cahill or Hazard?
Ummm Hazard.
Any ideas on this lot?
Mannone / Boruc
Coleman / Chambers / Ward / Olsson / Ivanovic
Yaya Touré / Mata / Noone / Lallana / Hazard
Suárez / Sturridge / Lukaku
1 FT, £0.5m in the bank.
Don't mind 1 hit.
Cheers in advance 🙂
I'd maybe do Olsson & Lallana > Nasri & Reid.
Not sure I want WH defence.
Drop Mata for Silva or Gerard or if you want to live life on the edge swap Lukaku for Gerard Deulofeu
Lukaku stays.
Ditch Mata and Chambers.
Does Ivan and Lallana -> Zab and Silva fall within budget?
Mata to Gerrard and possibly Lallana to Nolan/AJ. Please keep me posted with what you do because my team is very similar and I am in a bit if a muddle.
I think you need to take a hit for Lallana & Chambers/Olsson out!!!
----> Nasri + Chester maybe or AJ/Nolan/Sterling + Distin?!
Cheers all. 🙂
More thinking needed between keeping Mata for 1 more or selling.
Why getting Kolarov in for the DGW when you actially get a player with only one match, probably fulham as he seems to play the home games? And rotated away against United?
is Resonoir nailed on ?
Wish it was the weekend already arrghhh!
Team for the DGW:
Mannone
Terry Coleman Fonte
Y.Toure Hazard Gerrard Mirallas
Suarez Sturridge Lukaku
Only 8 DGW players 🙁
Is that a west country accent?
Uh oh looks like I have to bench either Cahill (swa(a)) or Gerrard (MCI) in Week 34
Well that's as simple as it comes.
Any changes?
MANNONE
COLEMAN COLLINS KOSCIELNY
YYT SILVA JOHNSON STERLING
STURRIDGE SUAREZ LUKAKU
Hazard, Terry, Ward
Fewer capital letters is my best recommendation.
Collins might only get a few minutes. Didn't start last game.
Is Silva likely to outscore Mata by at least 4 points over the DGW? Trying to weigh up whether a hit is worth it.
Quite possibly the way they're playing respectively.
If you could get him without paying anything extra, and without getting a -4 for it, would you get Baines over Coleman?
WC team looking ok so far? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45786544/Screen%20Shot%202014-03-17%20at%2022.55.15.png
Yeah. I prefer Gerrard over Silva though personally.
Morning all!
A - Silva + Distin
or
B - Nolan + Baines
?
Which do you think is better?
A) Azpil -> Zabaleta (-4)
B) Burner -> Bardsley (-4 and bench Azpil)
C) Do nothing and play Azpil
I'd be tempted with A - fairly nailed on to start both and has 2 extra games over the next 4 weeks.
Can you stretch to Coleman/Baines?
Cool - A is what I'm leaning towards - I think it has the most upside doesn't it.
I've already got Coleman but no, I can't stretch to Baines...
Id Keep Azpi and not sure Bardsleys worth a hit with Sunderlands fixtures this DGW. C.
Wcarders don't waste money on a United or City striker. Downgrade to Lukaku and get both YAYA and Silva in the mids
Pick 1 to start this week please
1) Distin/Zab
2) Hazard
Is jrod to jelavic worth -4 or should I bench jrod and just play hazard for no hit?
Play jrod and bench hazard? Really?
General consensus seems to be Mata to Gerrard/Silva.
Cant help thinking this a bit of a knee jerky reaction to the liv game, granted man u have looked relatively poor but surely he is worth persevering with for the double?
If the only way to afford to the city liv big hitters then ok but lots seem to be ditching Mata regardless.
Hoping this backfires to be honest
Man U sucks. Moyes has Mata looking like Cleverley. Would you wanna pay 9.5 mil for cleverley even in a DGW?
no i woudnt dream of bringing him in but already own him, just think its a bit disrespectful taking him out for a hit this week
disrespectful? Never seen anyone take it this way. There are many players who have more upside than Mata even with a -4 head start and its only Logical to remove him. Don't think Mata cares much about how you treat him in FPL
i meant its not taking man u seriously enough if you prepared to ditch him ahead of a double, you only have to recognise my grav to know im no man u fan, just think he could bite all those ditching just coz silva scored his one in 18 and gerrard scored some pens.
My point is not that he gonna do that well its just that i think he worth keeping rather than ditching for a hit
I love having 21 games between my players in one gameweek...
Mannone
Baines - Coleman - Azpili
Yaya - Silva - Nolan - Gerrard
Lukaku - Suarez (C) - Sturridge
Boruc - AJ - Molsson - Ward
