Paul We delve into the data offered up by Saturday and Sunday’s 10 fixtures this evening. Newcastle’s weekend goal hero, Villa’s foraging frontman and Liverpool’s talismanic South American are all under analysis, while we also cast an eye over a trio of midfield playmakers plying their trade at United, Swansea and Tottenham:
Those with Mannone / Adrian, what are your plans for GW33 and 34? Terrible fixtures!
Mannone - tot, (eve mci)
Adrian ----- LIV, ars
I dont have Adrian but I would go Mannone for both. Tottenham not as free scoring as Pool and Mannone has a DGW the next
Yeah... Tottenham is better than Liverpool ... 😀
but still its ****.
And that DGW has all the potential to be like (-1, -1), lol... better to play Adrian I think - "damage limitation"
I really wish I could do a transfer on the GKs, but can't due to other major concerns.
Could well be -1 x 2 alright haha but thems the risks.
what about speroni ?
Well, he was specifically asking about just Mannone and Adrian
Mannone is better he got 16 bonus till now
Originally, I had plans to do Adrian > Speroni after this week, but as it seems, I can't afford to lose a FT on goalkeepers. Saving the FT would be crucial to prevent a -4 hit later after GW34.
So, I am viewing it as a hit transfer. Is Adrian > Speroni worth a -4, when I would pretty much play him only twice - GW 33 and 34.
had em both on my wc lol. never checked on it but that said, i probably will play mannone for his save point :p
I am actually thinking of doing Adrian > Mannone for that dgw as I only have the 1 playable keeper.
Really? I would suggest not.
I have him and am scared to play him. Goal fest for City and Everton and you would end up with negative points.
Had I the privilege of another FT, I would have surely done Adrian > Speroni to cover up Mannone.
But if I am only going to have one of the cheap keepers from now until the end of the season surely Mannone with his extra games is likely to score the most points? (Ignoring individual gameweeks and treating the rest of the season as a whole).
Would you take a hit to get YaYa this week....
or
Wait till next week (no hit)
(have Silva)
Yaya against Arsenal defence.. and on pens.. get him!
"Swansea have lodged an appeal against the decision not to impose a suspension on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after he scored a hat-trick against them in the second game of DGW31, netting his delighted and slightly embarrassed owner Isacki 21 points."
PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN
In other news, Silva nets 20 goals against Arsenal to justify claims that he is a better than Yaya Toure.
Lol.
What reason did the FA give for not suspending AOC?
Haha, you said slightly 🙂
How did this post became green? Has the world gone mad?
In other news, I have a guest writer for my Gameweek Preview this week.
The famous Forca 😎
Should be a good 'un
Save a transfer or get rid of someone?
Mannone / Boruc
Coleman / Chambers / Ward / Olsson / Ivanovic
Yaya Touré / Gerrard / Noone / Nolan / Hazard
Suárez / Sturridge / Lukaku
1 FT, £1.3m in the bank.
Thanks in advance. 🙂
def is weak
2 spots each week are taken. Can't be that weak?
Chambers out will need to happen sooner or later.
You'll want shot of Olsson soonish too. Perhaps save and do a double next week when you might have more pressing matters.
olsson and chambers are not good take distin
Isn't Clyne out with a hamstring tear, though? Someone said last night...
No idea. S'ton don't really care about defending now.
Nolan out? To Eriksen, maybe?
Nolan playing Sunderland can't be a bad fixture even if away.
Cheers all. 🙂
Great, well balanced team. I would be tempted to hold, and maybe consider AJ for the DGW in for Nolan, although I don't really fancy him and prefer Nolan to score well over these last couple of months. I would look at getting rid of Chambers, even if he starts, Southampton don't do defending anymore. Would be tempted to get Dummett myself, or punt on Baker, with Vlaar being the more nailed on option.
Will have to wait for midweek games. Transfers may be forced if Gerrard gets cautioned.
so close to mine i will have to say good have
manonne/boruc
coleman baines chester bardsley vlaar
gerard yaya hazard johnson mutch
suarez sturridge lukaku
probly toot emplate to make some great improvements in rank?
maybe get rid of chambers
What is everyone's general strategy/philosophy on defenders? Do you go for the defender with the best chance of attacking returns or the best chance of BAPS? Would you rather the occasional massive haul or more consistent points returns?
Go for the a central defender from a team with the best chance of a cleansheet. If he also has attacking threat so much the better
BAPS for me in general, though the likes of Coleman can't be ignored. Wish I had Skertl too after I suggested him as a cheeky punt for the DGW.
having baines + coleman says it all 🙂
one with best chance of baps and one with the occasional haul...eg Terry+Coleman
Attacking returns, it's all about thrills not bead counting.
Attack returns always. Often you pay a small premium but the potential gains make it very profitable.
How much do people care aboout Eriksen though? Pool cant defend, expect it to be a high scoring affair! worth bringing in?
they sure can, 0-3 MU. 0-5 spurs.
that said, arent there any other bettter 6.5 than eriksen?
Not until the Welshman returns. Considering u have lallana!
HAD lalllana, sold him for a 1mil profit and get gerrard in lol. wc it might be, still bites! gerrard is now chasing lallana SGW, Sigh
Gerrard will have been subbed off 2 mins before the first one which Suarez scores and the second to complete back to back hatricks, before going on to net twice more, and having a hatrick of assists for Shrtel 3. 😉
Arrgh!! phew that spelling mistake woke me up. Nice dream though.
Mannone Adrian
Baines Coleman Azpilicueta Chester Dann
Hazard Silva Yaya AJ Mutch
Suarez Sturridge Lukaku
1.5 in bank
1 FT
A) Save Transfer.. next week Adrian to 3.9 OR AJ to Snoddy to free up 0.6 million. Gives me enough to get Demichelis for Chester OR Aguero for Sturridge
B) AJ to Lallana and forget about the Aguero/Demichelis plan
Yeah.. leaning towards saving. i could even do AJ to Eriksen next week and Adrian to 3.9er.. gives me the needed cash for aguero/demichelis too
Getting Snoddy now would be like chasing points. The rosy fixtures for Norwich are almost over. Look at their terrible, terrible fixtures over the last 4.
swa WBA ful though..
they need to get as many points as they can over those 3 to survive as the chances of gettin points after seem impossible. think he could mirror the points scored by the premium mids over that run tbh
Yes, 3 fixtures, and then again a transfer...
Well, I am actually planning to rotate my forward line using FTs to maxmize points - Rooney, Sturridge, Giroud and Lukaku will be transferred in and out near the end of season. So, I would prefer a Spurs mid - since they have some rosy fixtures till the end. I would go with Yaya, Hazard, Paulinho/Chadli/Eriksen.
If you would like to capitalize on the remaining Snoddy fixtures, go right ahead - just remember 2 of them are away matches and the team is Norwich.
hehe.. point taken. i may end up with Charlie adam 😯
I like A better.
Cheers both.. one last thing. Ive got Sterling and AJ at the moment with 2 FTs.. getting mutch in for sure for one of them as my luxury transfer.. do i get him in for AJ or Sterling you reckon? if i get him in for AJ i get the cash required for the Demichelis/Aguero moves straight away and can swap Sterling for Snoddy if required next week
cheers mate.. i guess tomorrow will give me a better insight on how nailed on sterling is. if he does look good then it may be better to keep. thanks
A toss of coin. I'd ditch AJ. Never looked convincing in the last 3 games.
Cheers.. yeah. i guess even if sturridge looks like he wont start i can just start mutch who is bang on form
Considering most have Hazard, Suarez and Sturridge is anyone here planning on getting more than 8 DGWers for GW 34? seems crazy benching any one of those anymore(you can maybe add a chelsea defender to that list)
Feck.. i already have 8 😯 .. i wanna swap AJ out for someone with more potential though
Going with 6 only. Solid 6 - Aguero, Yaya, Kolarov, Baines, Coleman, Lukaku.
Not sure about Mannone - he can get negative points in both fixtures - might play Adrian as damage limitation.
That means, I can't have Sturridge. but I will have - Suarez, Ivanovic, Hazard + one mid - to be decided [transferred in place on Nolan]
Aguero in for Sturridge is the big question.. not sure if i have the b@lls to do that even though i'll have the cash to make the swap. got sturridge at 9.1 and he's not showing any signs of slowing down
Getting Rooney in for Lukaku GW 35 seems so much less riskier 🙂
Exactly - that's a given, Aguero or not.
Even if I get Aguero for Sturridge, Lukaku > Rooney is a must.
Aguero will have 7 fixtures instead of Sturridge's 5 - so if he remains fit, points will be maximized. [Note: I am not talking value for money at this tad end of the season]
Is Kolarov solid?
Yaya kun silva
Coleman baines lukaku
Mannone
Maybe ward and aj if he returns form...dun see any other addition atm that would benefit the team more. So 8 or 9 is the max imo.
6 for me at the minute. Likely 7 with Aguero and maybe another one or two if I ditch Gerrard and and Sterling by then
-------------------- Mannone --------------------
Baines - Cahill - Kolarov - Ward - Chester
---- Haz - Yaya - AJ - Nolan - Noone ------
Kolarov & Nolan out for my 2 FTs. To whom?
A. Demichelis + 6.3 mid
B. 5.7 def + Eriksen
C. 4.1 def + Nasri
D. 4.3 def + Lallana
E. 4.7 def + Mirallas
F. Sth else - combined funds for up to 12.2
?
Tnx! 🙂
Well, personally I would not ditch Kolarov with those extra fixtures, and the team being City. Neither Nolan, especially for his Sunderland fixture. I fancy Nolan to outscore AJ. So, I would ditch AJ. I don't think you'll really need AJ for DGW in 34. Sunderland are stuttering.
So, I would do AJ > Eriksen / Sterling given your team.
However, if you are keen for booting them out, then why don't you go for Kompany/Zabaleta & Sterling?
I currently have no Man Utd. players, should this be a cause for concern over these next 2 weeks? If you were to own a United player who would it be? The only one I'd want would be Rooney, but I don't really want to change my SLS front 3 either..
I have 2 MUN players now, Evra and Mata. I wish I had none.
It's Rooney or nothing.
That is the problem, a United player would be great but there is a cost to getting Rooney in. I think its not the worst idea to assume United will continue to be inconsistent and generally unreliable.
If I was to take a punt on a United player it would be in the defence. I think Jones is virtually nailed on now baring injury.
Thats based mainly on the fact that he could play anywhere across the back-line and as a DM. He's so versatile that if there is any injury anywhere else Jones will be needed.
Also Moyes has said he will receive more game time as he looks to next season with Vidic and probably Evra leaving United. Jones will get his opportunity ahead of next season.
Bit of a benching headache this weekend even without making a transfer. Currently benching Silva but that's surely not the right choice?
Boruc
Azpil / Distin / Bardsley
Hazard / AJ / Mata / Lallana
Suarez / Carroll / Lukaku
McGregor / Silva / MOlsson / Chester
I would bench AJ or Carroll before Silva
What player(s) are you planning to get after the double? I'm thinking Lallana or JRod
Players with something to play for if possible.
after the double it's all about relegation dog fights for cheapos and title/top 4 fights for the premium players.
PLanning for DGW 34 and stocking up on Chelsea and then Arsenal after GW34
Mannone
Ivanovic Coleman Zabaleta
Yaya Hazard Gerrard AJ
Suarez (c) Sturridge Lukaku
Marshall Johnson (NOR) Ward Bruce
1 FT, 0.1m ITB
Currently decided to bank my FT this week and use it later to prepare for the later DGWs. Any thoughts, please? Thanks.
Soo... they took off Aguero's red flag randomly, got him protected and now put it back on. so he''s not gonna fall below 12 million for sure now. Fpl really need to monitor their flag system properly next season. this BS has happened time and again all season.
When did the red flag get removed?
With Kosc out for 3 GW's (according to this morning's Guardian ) what are his owners doing?
There are not many defenders who have a good GW32 who have good fixtures afterwards .................are there?
Is mutch good enough to play week in week out? the sea of blue in the season ticker coupled with their survival fight makes it temptin to do so!
(Note: the posts aint exactly flying by right now.. so it does look like im on some insane post frenzy when i am actually not 🙂 )
Well, I have been insanely replying, since I am not sure if there's anything to post.
Except that I am delighted of Koscielny's red card - I so much wished his price to fall before GW35. Lol!
This exactly isn't the answer to your post. Pardon me if you please. 🙂
Well he's the best player at the club imo. Hasn't helped his cause so far
Why are everybody writing off Sunderland players?. You do realise that with the maximum attainable 9 points from the extra 3 they could move from 18th to 11th. I see them giving their best in the coming weeks. Off course it could all be just me.
Not like "writing off" but they have a huge and mammoth task ahead of them - playing che, mci, mun, tot and EVE.
Basically, they have only 4 games to save their season - WHM, CAR, WBA, SWA - they are presently on 25 points, if they win all of them it makes 37 - short of that magic 40. If they lose any one of those 4 fixtures, then its over...
Pepe Mel seen at City Ground this morning. Wishful thinking.
Manu fans will rather liv or city win the title?
Morning fellas
Yes , I know I'm late to the party ......but who do I bring in Yaya for ?
A) Mirallas
B) Nasri
C) Mata
You are late. Do you still have Robert Pires or Jay Jay Okocha?
Mata for me because he blanks and the others double in GW34.
considering Gerrard to Nasri for the double
misread the question... I did C in GW30
I did C.
^
I think I will get Rooney in for tonights game.
Lukaku out; Rooney in?
I would keep Lukaka for tonight! good chance of a brace v Newcastle me thinks 😉
2 goals and an assist for 16 points in his last game vs. NEW (GW6)
Lukaku plays Newcastle away.
Rooney plays Man. City home.
I would have kept Lukaku.
chances of Ferdinand and Januzaj featuring tonight? rival has Hazard and Azpi on bench
Morning fellas
Morning all. Who do we think is gonna be the midfielder differential down the stretch to the end of the season?
Chelsea have a great run of games so I'm thinking it will be one of Oscar and Schurrle
Who is best Koscielny replacement, have 5.9
A) Azpili ( have JT but fixtures looking good for double up)
B) Demichelis( not very good fixtures but have extra games innit)
C) Flanagan and upgrade somewhere
D) Davies from hull
I have had B for the last few weeks (many mocked when I got him in) and he has been fantastic.
B) defo
Am also contemplating the Chelsea double up in similar circumstances (I have Azpi, getting rid of Mert for 5.9)
JT makes me wanna hurl. Do I value pts and baps more than my integrity? 😉
integrity? one guy in my mini-league has been refusing to buy Suarez based on moral grounds. Needless to say, he isnt doing well.
Double up on Chelsea or Demi for me LR
I pity the fools re. Demechellis http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/02/24/the-suspension-tightrope-bagged/?hc_page=2#hc_comment_6860940 🙂
I would expect Demichelis to get periodic rests once Nastasic is fit. I think he's Pellegrini's favourite of the two, but it might cancel out his doubles. I would go Azpi, myself.
Second one on this list...http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/3832/
Arsenal's Bacary Sagna looks set to sign on a free transfer for Manchester City this summer. (Source: Daily Star)
Err
Arsenal should sign Micah Richards
Wow
I direct your attention to:
(Source: Daily Star)
It's on Metro too.
Here come City raiding at us again.
That continues the exodus of Arsenal players to City: Nasri, Kolo Toure, Adebayor...
Clichy
...Vieira, Clichy, Niall Quinn, 'Rocky' Rocastle...definitely a feeder club.
You forgot Seaman as well.
Do any of the players that move from Arsenal to City ever become much better players though? They all seem to move on at their peak and grow stale at City..
Who is most nailed on in City's midfield? Navas, Milner or Garcia?
is this a serious question?
Just pick from Yaya, Silva and Nasri
I wouldn't discard Navas so easily, he's a quality player and can make as much of a difference as Nasri can?
I hope you only asking for interest sake. Avoid all 3
None of them are nailed on, are they?
The only one out of those three worth looking at is Navas but he's far from nailed on
Screams of 'coverage'
Help a brother out 😀
A) Gerrard + Nolan -> Mutch + Hazard (-4)
B) Nolan -> Mutch, do Gerrard -> Hazard next week
C) Save transfer
Boruc - Mannone
Coleman - Baines - Azpili - Williamson - Ward
Gerrard - Silva - Yaya - AJ - Nolan
Suarez - Lukaku - Sturridge
I'm thinking of (c) Hazard against Palace this round, so I think he could be worth -4 to get in.
A or B, depends if you feel the hit is worth it
Palace tend to be a bit more solid at home though right?
Then again.. Same could usually be said for Arsenal.
United Vs City Score Prediction?
Please don't predict in a way which will benefit your FPL team...
My Prediction: 2-1 to United...
