Paul We delve into the data from the weekend’s eight Premier League fixtures this evening. Palace, Sunderland and Tottenham’s chief threats are brought under analysis, whilst Chelsea’s young Egyptian and Fulham’s Colombian goal hero are also assessed after impressing in back-to-back appearances:
Lukaku -> Giroud
madness or genius?
I have eyed that transfer up for weeks. Se what happens in the next match then make a decision. Ade could also be a decent option with fixtures
I've been looking at it for a while, too. Giroud seems a better bet than Ramsey as a route to the Arsenal attack. But today's game will be a hint as to whether it is a decent idea.
Good Day All!
any update on Yaya?
Thanks!
Update will come at the press conference tomorrow, although I don't think things look good. Groin is usually 3 weeks out...guess the more pertinent question is who to replace him with? Has to be Eriksen for an in-form mid, but there is the prospect of another DGW nagging away at me. Not seen much mention of Nasri on here...
What do people think about Matic as a punt, even if he is a defensive midfielder?
- Cheap at £6m.
- 4 assists in his last four games.
- 5th highest midfield player in the past 6 gameweeks, when looking at chances created (13).
- Nailed on.
- Always good for a clean sheet point.
Could be good when going for a 5 man midfield, which I've seen some people are.
I think you have to define a D/M more clinically next season.
Gerrard_ who most definitely is one but is still on set pieces so still a good pick.
YaYa_ much in the same vein as Gerrard....no one else springs to mind.
Then you have the box to box D/M.
Ramsey_don't need to say too much about him, proved many wrong. Others who have done well don't spring to mind atm.
Generally though, being a Ramires season keeper, I can confidently say avoid all D/M's in FF no matter how much you rate them unless of course you believe Matic can join the elite exceptions above.
Thinking about it YaYa is more a box to box of course, but you see where I'm coming from. :):
Aguero.
So what's everyone doing with Yaya?
Cheers
ASSUMING yaya is out for the rest of the season, who are you getting in? I got silva and eriksen already, want mata next week but not this one.
Nasri not too bad a shout either. Would like a chelsea attacker, even thought about Salah since he's cup tied but his finishing was so awful
Probably Yaya ---> Sterling/Schurrle, then maybe bring in Mata the week after
Yaya to Gerrard this week and then Lallana to Mata next week for me
I'm in the same boat as you. I'm thinking of getting Mata this week as I don't see any reason why United can't do well against Everton, Mata is sure to be involved if he's playing in the #10 role.
I'm thinking Mata.
I'm going to back Ukraine to win The Eurovision Song Contest this year, no matter how bad the song is.
Bookmark this.
Who died?
This forum that's who! Trust me to have the one quiet day of the week when this place is doing nothing. Guess there isn't much to talk about.
Yes I scrolled back a page and could not believe how long ago the last post was.
Oh well Great Britain wakes up soon. :):
Has anybody still got Hazard? I have him and Yaya and think I might hold him and ship Toure if the news is bad. Annoying that The Grumpy One has decided to go all quiet, but does anybody else hold out any hope for him starting at the weekend?
Play Lukaku or Play Puncheon for next week
I'm looking for an escape route now for my Palace players but against the Hammers I would swing towards Punch.
Don't fancy Luk against Utd.
I'm playing both.
Would you play Distin or Ward this week? (Already playing Coleman)
I would put a couple of eggs in a different basket. Ward.
what would be the best move??
(prepared to take a hit somewhere)
marshall (mannone)
azpi ward coleman (fonte davies)
silva yaya eriksen punch (aj)
luk suarez aguero
1.4, 1 FT
If Aguero goes well tomorrow are people going to stick with Suarez(c) away to Nor or move it to Aguero(c) home to WBA?
Thanks for the 3000 places fpl 🙂
Who would you play from Coleman, Baines, ward, Cahill, Flanagan this weekend?
Currently playing Baines, Cahill, Ward!
Ward/ Cahill/ Flan
Mirallas to Eriksen this week makes the most sense, right? Only other real option is Rambo, but I'd have liked to have seen some form before getting him in and sounds as though he may not even feature tonight. Anyone else I'm missing from that bracket (8.4 or less)?
Hmmm, could go with Sterling (pretty nailed-on now with Hendo out) and give me money to get 2 MU for GW37
Sterling is in a group of high scoring potentials. It could be his week, or it could be Coutinho or Suarez or Gerrard.
Eriksen is the main man for his team.
I planned to sell Sterling but after his performance against City I think I should keep him till the end of season.
Also Hendo out for 3 matches and Sturridge injured, he may be 100% nailed on.
What do you reckon?
What points gap does everyone reckon is too much to bridge? I'm 60 points behind my rival in my main league (iPad at stake) but is that too much? I'm not sure whether to chase him with captain differentials or just try and get a good rank/win the rest of my mini leagues..
I'd say thats close to borderline. You'll need a lot to go your way. Not beyond reach.
60 pts is possible to catch with the other bit of this dgw and gw37 to come but I would personally make the odd punt on captain now, for instance Aguero/Silva over Suarez may work out, Norwich scrapping for existence and at home....but still a ballsy move if you do it. Good luck.
Probably depends on how similar your teams are. I'd give it maybe 2 weeks and if no ground made, consolidate. if you got it to 30-40 points with a couple of weeks to go its definitely doable!
Aguero (c) insteadnof Suarez for next game week could be the first push in the right direction!
His team:
Speroni
Ivanovic Azpi Delaney Fonte Demel
Hazard Silva Yaya Puncheon Sterling
Sturridge Suarez Dzeko
My team:
Boruc
Baines Coleman KOscielny Cahill Turner
Yaya Gerrard Eriksen Puncheon Snodgrass
Suarez Aguero Lukaku
All depends on the leader and how different the teams are.
Both teams are posted just above in reply to Icon.
The leader has played for 7 seasons and his highest rank to date is 86k. Always finishes between 86k - 200k. He's having a big season though, currently in 4k!
I'm 143 ahead in mine and I'm still taking nothing for granted. I've seen a sixty point lead overturned in the last gameweek before.
C'mon dude, you have it in the bag! 🙂
That must have been a massive shock to the leader at the time!
Haha. Yeah, in all probability. I don't let myself celebrate before it's finished these days though, since witnessing that.
And yeah it was. Wasn't me involved but my mate overtook my cousin on the last day when Chelsea thrashed Wigan. Think he captained Lampard that day and had another couple of Chelsea goalscorers. 🙂
Who would you play out of Ward and Evra this week, other two are Cahill & Baines?
Toughie that. I don't envisage a clean sheet for either in the Utd/Eve game.
Ward. Evra always an attacking threat though, (as you know).
I know, and United's away form has been pretty solid, just wondering if it's daft to play Evra when I have Lukaku up top or to swap him out for Ade? I've whittled lead in ML down to 10pts and don't want to make any dodgy decisions so close to the end.
If Yaya is out for the season.
Who to bring in?
A. Gerrard
B. Eriksen
C. Nasri
Midfield atm: Mata Lallana Yaya Amalfitano Silva.
Tough one, but I'd go Eriksen with his fixtures.
Really tough indeed. I just have a feeling about Gerrard in the run in.
But surely I can't ignore Eriksen's form and fixtures!
Yeah definitely. I might use the cash from Yaya > Eriksen. And upgrade Lallana to Gerrard the week after.
Nasri__just.
Yaya to eriksen this week. Snodders to mata next. Simples!
What changes would you do to this team ?
Mannone
Azpili Koscielny Distin Dann Dummett
Lallana Eriksen Silva Yaya** Sterling
Lukaku Suarez Aguero
0.7 in bank, 1 FT available
Yaya > Gerrard if the big man is out.
😯
Perhaps subliminally 😯
You do know what happened the last time Lukaku played MUN?
Yep, Everton beat us 1-0 at OT, with Lukaku being awarded one of his notorious 'did that flick off Lukaku's eyelash' assists!
I guess it's the time before that, you're referencing?
Different teams, last match of Fergie's reign; was an odd game - would not expect anything similar, tbh.
Get Mata then and hope he doesn't get injured etc.
Yaya to Gerrard this week
Lallana to Mata next week
Not sure about Rooney with his injury. If he's fit, lukaku to Rooney sounds reasonable
Billy, what's this you talking about baines injured... what have I missed?
Nasri or a city defender? Would be happy to get sterling/mata for yaya if crocked and get a city defender as I don't see many other great defensive options, whereas suddenly we're spoilt for mids
Souls also mention that I have silva and Kun
I think I'd prefer an Arsenal defender. Great fixtures to end the season.
Easily a City defender over an Arsenal one. They have better fixtures and are a better team.
Adrian, Mannone
Coleman, Sagna, Flanagan, Chambers, R.Bennett
Gerrard, Silva, Mata, Barkley, Delph
Suarez, Lukaku, Dzeko
I already used my FT for Yaya to Mata.
Here's the thing: I've got 5.3 in the Bank.
What do I do with the cash next week? Dzeko to Aguero or spread it around? Tell me what you think or any other tips.
Cheers
You could do a cheeky Delph to Amalfitano in time for WBA double.
Delph has a double himself though
One is away at city though, wouldn't fill me with confidence.
Okay maybe, but how about Dzeko to Aguero? Is it worth it? Or should I use the money to upgrade elsewhere?
Got a serious benching dilemma this week! Who would you bench from
Cahill ward Flanagan baines coleman
Eriksen mata silva punch mutch
Lukaku suarez aguero!
Currently on mutch, baines, coleman
@Icon - my reason for not going Suarez(c)...
I have a 64pts gap to bridge with Demi/Punch/Kun(me) vs his Zaba/Jedi/Silva to go. I was doing fine with Punch/Eriksen until Silva came to the party for him( 😡 )
I need to be different to stand a chance. Yes, the chances are Suarez will match who ever I decide to (c), but this way I'm having fun and at least might have a sniff.
Fair enough, hoping Kun does well too (just not as well as Lukaku).
At least you have a very strong differential (c) for next week
You're losing to someone with Jedinak?
lol
Yeah.
Darth Vader
Yaya to Eriksen this week
and Lukaku to RvP next week if fit?
My 3 closest rivals have silva, I have Nasri. So, do I go Yaya to Silva or go with Eriksen, who none of them have?
silva
