Paul In our second members article of the week, we turn to our own ICT Index for inspiration. Assessing player performance for Influence, Creativity and Threat in accordance with the relevant Opta statistics, we create a Members table in order to analyse the top-scoring midfielders over the last four Gameweeks:
One transfer left this week (already did Evra >>> Zabaleta).
Ruddy
Zabaleta-Chester-Baines-Azpilicueta
Nasri-Gerrard-Mirallas-Hazard(c)
Lukaku-Suarez(v)
Mannone-Flanagan-Lambert-Bentaleb
My closest chaser in the league has Yaya, Mutch, Lallana. The next guy also has Yaya, so it would seem that hanging on to Nasri is a good differential. Is Silva worth a look over him, though? Also - any other changes you see in my squad? Mirallas is no longer nailed on but keeps producing. Any ideas welcome 🙂
I actually think the opposite. Yaya is your biggest threat. Neutralise the threat and get Yaya in. Let the chasing pack take risks on differentials.
That Hazard over Suarez captain move could cost you dearly. Just sayin'. . . .
Would you (c) Suarez or Yaya?
Suarez all day and all night, and all afternoon, and all dusk, and all dawn.
Suarez (C) for me. Away to West Ham. Again for me its the playing safe option. Let the chasers take the risk.
You never know though but I always go with safe option when at the top.
Not many posters in the UK as its 4.30am so its the same peoples opinions all the time!
I'd have to take a hit to get Yaya. What do you think is a good option, then, Mutch for Mirallas?
Possibly. I think you have to have Yaya for the double. Not sure about a -4 this week.
Agreed that Yaya could wait until the DGW if you don't want to take a hit. He is pretty much a must for that DGW, though. That can't be denied (unless he gets injured).
RMT pls
Mannone Coleman Azipilicueta Ward
Mirallas Erikson Mata Yaya
Rooney Sturridge Suarez(c)
Planning to bring silva and lukaku for dw in place of runi and mata.
nice team to go for 2 weeks?
Puncheon looked good against Chelsea. Anybody thought about him?
Snodgrass âž¡ Puncheon & Sturridge âž¡ Aguero for -4 NEXT GW looks good?
Not the worst idea I've ever heard. Just not sure about Aguero's gametime for the DGW, or in general. I have my eye on him, though, 'cause he could be a nice pickup if fit enough to really give it a go.
I know this has come up hundreds of times on here but which City players will you guys be getting for GW 34 and why?
Have Yaya Demichellis and Zaba.
Kun yes but very costly and not sure of gametime after injury. Also might leave my team short elsewhere. dzeko no silva no nasri no.
Yaya, not interested in others, maybe if Aguero is fit enough to get 120 mins, i would switch Suarez to Aguero for DGW
Suarez? Never to be removed.
I have removed suarez many time, but only when I think it will surely pay off, havent captained suarez since ages too 😀
Hope you have a high rank to backup this strategy?!
I used to play(still playing) Espn fantasy, started my FPL team in GW27, so rank need not to be told 😀
But it has paid off, Captained Yaya in DGW which was huge success for me
Maybe I took such risk bcoz of low budget team
I see yeah that makes sense.
Have Silva and yaya. Will add Demi or Aguero depending on how much Aguero plays at the weekend.
already have silva, planning to get kun
I already have Silva and Yaya. Feel pretty good with that. (keeping Aguero in mind for a possibility, but I think Lukaku is a better bet considering fixtures and health)
I already have Yaya and Silva. IMO those two are the only ones that could potentially be considered 'must have's' for the DGW. So far I'm not convinced by any of the others, the defence in particular doesn't appeal to me because of the Liverpool clash. Dzeko is probably the best of the rest for the 3rd spot.
Leaning towards him but he is one of the most inform MF atm. & will be in relegation battle against Palace this GW. Goals are likely to come in that game. Tough decision.
reply fail??
Most explosive differential this week?
Eriksen
Good differential but how explosive? Maybe 2 assists the most
Considering Gerrard to Schurrle but will probably save the FT so my vote goes to Schurrle
Exactly my thoughts! Thinking of switching gerrard to schurrle but I have Hazard cahill and Ivanovic
Delph
Aguero off the bench 😉
Whelp, players. I'm out for now. It's been real!
A lot of Mutch love out there and I kinda understand it, but people seriously need to put it in perspective. Benching the likes of Yaya Toure and other big name/big team players over him is crazy.
I guess a possible 20 min. run out for Kun tomorrow should give us an idea about his sharpness coming back from injury.
Thanks for the replies. 🙂
Updates on Ramsey and Aguero?
Who should I bench out of Colemon, Mirallas & Bassong this week? Leaning towards Mirallas as he hasn't been starting recently.
Yup
Um hum
Who do I bench - Ward or Chester?
tough I say chester.
But im playing chester haha
How does this look then?
Mannone
Baines Coleman Ward
Silva Yaya AJ Gerrard
Dzeko Suarez Sturridge
Bench - Chester Livermore Baker
So much for Benteke(c) then.
😕
Any "OOP" at Villa now that Bentekkers is out and Habby is a doubt?
I guess not?
*Gabby
Will be interesting to see
What to do with a FT?
A) Adrian to Harper
B) studge to dzeko
C) snoddy to Mutch/aj/puncheon
Mannone Adrian
Baines Distin Dann Chester Azpil
Yaya Silva Hazard Snoddy Noone
SLS
2FT 0.6 ITB
I have 2 frees this week but struggling to see a transfer. 3.9 in bank
Foster (Adrian)
Kolarov, Coleman, Ivanovic, Olsson (Shaw)
Yaya, Silva, Snodgrass, (Lallana, Januzaj)
Suarez (c), Sturridge, Lukaku
Thinking Adrian to Speroni just so I have a double gameweek keeper. Anyone doing a more boring transfer?
see above, i am thinking of not using mine at all. Dullard
It would feel so wrong not to use it! Glad i'm not the only one struggling to see a transfer though
3.9 million in the bank. Unless thats going towards Aguero, I'd use that.
Januzaj and Kolarov out is what I'd do. Consider getting Baines and a mid priced mid.
Yeah, I am happy with Januzaj on the bench just now and have a feeling Kolarov will play this week. Plan on shifting him for Baines next week
The simple fact of the matter is that we just don't know whether these two will start games. Surely it would be better to have nailed on players. I think at least one of those two has to go this week.
Are people overlooking single game week players next week just to have the likes of Puncheon, Ki or AJ? The Saints game vs Cardiff looks prime for the likes of Lallana, J-Rod etc Arsenal West Ham could also be profitable
Definitely not. Think people will be a bit more cautious after the last one haha.
Any advice on this this lot?
Mannone
Baines,Azpilicueta,Molsson
Yaya,Silva,Gerrard,Lallana
Suarez,Sturridge,Lukaku
Adrian,Coleman,Noone,Bruce
1 FT and 0.2m in the bank.
Save a transfer. Not a lot you can do this week. The standard Suarez captain is probably the way to go once again. I'd consider starting Coleman as well but its a close one between him and Olsson.
Cheers Ryan.
Saving FT will probably come in handy for the Aguero move next week. Really not sure between Coleman and Molsson. Coleman is at home and that makes me feel nervous benching him. Arsenal are injury plagued and may easily have an off day at the Goodison.
Ferdinand and Vidic did a decent job midweek. What do people think will be the mainstay United back 4 for the rest of the season? Looking for possible investments for some sweet fixtures and a tasty DGW
I think Jones is a certain starter in the PL at the moment (baring injury of course). He does get the odd goal/assist as well.
Yeah he seems well nailed on. Maybe have funds for him or Rafael.
They'll chop and change.
De Gea,Evra and Jones are probably the safest the bet.
Yeah lots of options now. Will likely go Jones I think.
He'd be one hell of a punt / differential. Could go well for you.
Here's hoping. seems logical. Ditching Baines Coleman and Lukaku post GW34 cos of evertons bad fixtures. In come, Rooney Jones and Gibbs, cos they have the best fixtures I think.
Gibbs? Shirley not?
Times are tough haha. Potentially. COuld swing for someone else too like a potential DGWer but hard to ignore Arsenals fixtures.
Its not a bad idea to have save a transfer for after the DGW. I might actually do that myself.
All depends on Aguero for me. If he's a no go. I'll have a FT to save. If not I'll probably still take a hit to get Rooney in. Money is tight thanks to Ade sinking like a stone
Hi DeadZoners,
Would you play Olsson (WBA) or Evra (new) this week? Obviously assumes the latter does play.
I'd play Evra.
Newcastle don't have any attack atm.
Is Remy back?
Evra hasn't come off the bench all season so I'd start him. No big deal if he doesn't start as your sub will come on to replace him.
I sold Evra. He was the cherry on the cake for me this season.
😡
Who should I play out of:
AJ (tot)
Noone (CRY)
Chester (SWA)
??
Need to use at least one of my two FTs.. Any suggestions?
Marshall (mannone)
Azpi coleman davies (fonte ward)
Hazard yaya gerrard AJ (punch)
Luk suarez studge
2FTs, 0.3
aj to eriksen
My team:
Marshall (Mannone)
Mertesacker, Distin, Azpilicueta /Olsson/ (Chester)
Hazard, Yaya, Eriksen /Lallana/ (Noone)
Suarez, Sturridge, Lukaku
Lallana(mci) vs Olsson(WBA)
Who to pick out of these two and is the rest of my team set? for GW 33
Who do people think are the players good enough to consider transferring in just for next week's doubles?
Everton - Baines, Coleman, Lukaku
Man City - multiple defenders, Silva, Nasri, Yaya, (Aguero if fit)
Palace - if you haven't got any yet, don't bother
Sunderland - ditto?
Agree/disagree?
Your season similar to mine. Since playing our 2nd WC it was red arrows all around.
Depends what your plan is for the rest of season...ML to win? H2h's? Our overall rank is blown out of the water, so I'm tempted to gamble with (c) and differentials and have some fun in the process.
But yes, those are as template as you get. It's not going to gain us much in rankings as I think the 130k odd of players ahead of us know what they are doing.
Yeah, this is traditionally the time of season that my ranking rockets upwards, but this season has been appalling. My trouble is I've tried to play the fixtures and tried to avoid "chasing points", but unfortunately that strategy hasn't worked at all. (Should have just bought the obvious people and stuck with them really).
I finally cracked and got Yaya in this week. He cost me 30k in rank in the dgw.
I would maybe even consider going without too much Everton if you're only getting them in now. Fixtures pretty sour post GW34 so you'll want a quick exit strategy.
Palace - Puncheon.
While not spectacular options..
Mannone AJ Puncheon Dann are worth having over many SGW players
What 3 players do I play this week (the others on the bench)?
A. Mirallas
B. Snodgrass
C. Bassong
D. Coleman
E. Mutch
F. Ward
I'm leaning towards playing A, B, C.
I'd be tempted with the 3 attacking mids.
So A, B, E.
Yes, that actually sounds reasonable. But I'm hesitant with Miralla due to both gametime and the more difficult team Arsenal (though Arsenal has been letting a lot of balls in the net lately).
So maybe I should do B, C, E.
The case against Mutch though is that I have Speroni as my goalkeeper.
Morning folks...can i get some opinions on how to best use my FT?
Adrian (mannone)
baines vlaar evra (chester shaw)
hazard silva michu snoddy (barkley)
suarez rooney lukaku
The only transfer strategy i can think of:
A: save FT as i expect evra to start..in the event he doesnt, chester might keep a cleanie
B: evra >> zabaleta
The plan in gw34 is to do rooney + michu >> aguero + AJ
Mannone
Azpilicueta - Coleman - Zabaleta
Gerrard - Hazard - Silva - Toure
Lukaku - Sturridge - Suarez (c)
Gazzaniga - Ward - B.Johnson - Bruce
Bank = 0
FT = 1
Johnson > Delph or save FT?
Save.
