We delve into the data once again this evening and assess some of the standout statistics over the weekend gone by. Arsenal’s fit-again midfielder, Chelsea’s Brazilian schemer, Sunderland, Swansea and West Ham’s frontmen, Palace’s defence and Everton’s raiding right-back are amongst our main topics this time around:
Fonte > Alonso / Evans / Smalling (lasty two are a bit lucky dip as we dunno who'll play)
Open Controls
+1
Open Controls
AJ to Puncheon.
Open Controls
Coleman to Smalling/ Kos then Lukaku to Rooney?
Open Controls
I'd wait until next week so it's only a -4. You will also get a better idea of how essential he is
Open Controls
next week Eriksen ----> one of DGW Hull boys
Open Controls
with Terry and Cech out for this GW. And Jose claiming he'll field a weak side sensible to play Ward over Cahill?
Open Controls
What is week though? Oscar,Schurlle,Ivan did not play at all last night. Salah was cup tied. he has Cole and Schwartzer in def.
Open Controls
I'm still playing Cahill over Ward in my team.
Open ControlsMourinho's tactics rely more on the team as a whole rather than individual players. That said, Liverpool away with Luiz and a different keeper than usual, you're relying on attacking threat to get points. I'm in the same situation with Ivan and Dann. I think goal threat rules since neither will get a CS
Open ControlsSo go with Cahill over Ward then?
Open ControlsReally confused atm
Open Controls
Cahill and Ivan at cb with az rb cole lb is a v solid line up, no need to panic
Open Controls
Me again....
Manonne
Ward/Coleman/Demi
Erik/Rambo/Mata/Nasri
Podolski/Kun/Suarez
-4
Boruc/Punch/Terry/chesterOpen ControlsYou're done
Open ControlsDon't see any problem with it. All set to go
Open ControlsLooks good. Shame you cant put that terry money to good use.
Open ControlsNo use bothering with def at this stage.
Open Controlsyeah not worth a hit anyways. I may play chester over ward too.
Open Controls
really similar to mine, only difference is i have baines and kompany instead of ward and demi in def, while you have nasri to my holtby in mid.
Open Controls
May have caught a break at last in my ML, leader has been consistently 25 odd pts ahead for months, have very similar teams but have taken an 8pt this week to shake things up, will have 8 dgw players, currently he has two, he also has Cech, Terry and Silva....hoping for a last 3 week push, I did Lallana, Lukaku and Gerrard to Ramsey, Mata and Rooney, I'm almost positive he has Ramsey in with his FT, so is the sensible play here to (C) Rooney over Ramsey?
Open ControlsAre you still behind? I say captain Rooney.
Open ControlsNah, match him. I think Arsenal will run riot vs Newc.
Catch him next week as he will most prob will take a hit to field a side next week anyway, therefore further reducing his lead.Open ControlsAagghhh! Tough decision, both have logic. Cheers.
Open ControlsI would go Ramsey.
Open ControlsBoth are good choices and captain hindsight will defo win but I'm doing Ramsey over Rooney
a) He was majestic v Hull (when last time could say that bout Roo?)
b) Newcastle seem to have pretty much given up
c) Monday night game so if everything goes t its up at weekend there will still be hope 🙂Open Controls
Hey all, I'm currently starting a back 3 of Azpi, Shaw and Coleman this week.. with Olsson and Williamson on the bench. Should I take a -4 hit to do Olsson --> Evans/Smalling/Alonso/anyone
Open Controls
who is the better pick?
a) salah
b) arnautovicOpen Controls
Terry+Suarez >> Koscielny+ Rooney(-4)?
Open ControlsNah. Play bench in place of Terry.
Open Controls
who are other strikers ?
Open ControlsAde and Aguero.
Open Controls
Draft league team decision for gwk 37. Play Carroll (TOT) or Jovetic (eve/AVL)?
Open ControlsJovetic. He will see gametime.
Open ControlsThat's the way I was leaning despite my obvious partiality. The guy is talented and I can't fathom out why he isn't starting ahead of Dzeko.
Open Controls
Rödallega (c) 😎
Open Controlshe actually is a decent option 😀
Open Controls
Fulham fighting for survival with nice fixtures vs HUL, sto, CP
Open ControlsWould be mainly for the namesake though. I will certainly get him for the last game if I don't have much to play for, which is unlikely.
Open Controls
Many here are considering MU assets for the last 4 games of the season especially with a DGW37, and seemingly easy fixtures (NOR, SUN, HUL, Sou).
But now that Giggsie is in charge for the next few games, I wonder who he will actually field? Will he play the same 11 every game, or rotate everyone (yes, even Rooney) for the last 4 games with nothing but pride and warming up for the WC left to play for?
Is it going to be a veritable minefield as to who plays in the last 3 GWs? Who know who he actually prefers? With Moyes gone, I reckon it is a relatively level playing field for all to get gametime now, even the likes of Kagawa and Giggsie himself 🙂
In goal, De Gea, Linergaard (2 choose 1); in defence, Vidic, Rio, Evans, Smalling, Jones, Evra, Buttner, Rafael (8 choose 3); in midfield, Fellaini, Carrick, Mata, Kagawa, Valencia, Young, Januzaj, Cleverley, Giggs (9 choose 3); in attack, Rooney, RVP, Hernandez, Welbeck (4 choose 2).
Thing's I WON'T miss about Moyes (although the forseeable FPL future may be just as murky)
1) "we have a few niggles and knocks"
2) "we will have to wait and see"
Things I will miss about Moyes:
1)
But seriously, I still rate Moyes as a decent manager, just not suited to the job at MU - wrong man at the wrong time.Open Controls
Pellegrini optimistic on Yaya - anyone doing Silva to Yaya for -4 this week?
Open ControlsDont have the dosh and dont think he's worth the dosh.
Open Controlshe's must have for DGW
Open Controls
Yes. No brainer.
Open ControlsYup (Mirallas > yaya)
Open Controls
next week for me.. tough fixture this week
Open ControlsI'm thinking of getting Rooney next week for Lukaka. Silva on the other hand isnt going to give me any points
Open Controls
Suarez vs. Nathan Ake
Captain materialOpen ControlsAke has shown some consistency lately. Looked sharp against Everpool, and seems to enjoy playing away from home. Might be worth a punt.
Open Controlsin light of Mourinho's comments, I find it hard to look away from Suarez for captain
Open Controls
Ramsey vs a Newcastle side that have conceded 14 and scored 1 in their last 5 games..?
Open ControlsArsenal have many goalscorers
Suarez still the main man at PoolOpen ControlsLiverpool have just as many..
Skrtel 7
Sterling 9
Suarez 29
Sturridge 20
Gerrard 13
Coutinho 5
Arsenal:
Ramsey 9
Giroud 14
Podolski 8
Nobody else has more than 4 except injured Theo with 5.
Plus, it's Newcastle home, and Chelsea home. I'd prefer Newcastle..Open ControlsYou want to take a guess how many goals Suarez have scored against the top 4 this season(Ars/Chel/Citeh)?
Let me help.
ZERO. ZIP. NADA.
He has 3 assists.Open ControlsChelsea B team is not a top 4 team!
Open ControlsB team?
So Terry is out and so is cech? So what.
Ivan,Oscar and Schurlle(17min) were rested last night. Still they managed to keep Athletico scoreless.
Mour will pick a decent team and prob play without a striker.Open Controls
Morning guys! What would you do with this lot:
Mannone
Ward, Azpilicueta, Demel
Gerrard, Nasri, Lallana, Eriksen
Suarez, Aguero, Lukaku
subs: Marshall, Puncheon, MOlsson, Distin
1 FT, 3.5 ITB
Considering getting in Rooney, Ramsey and Koscielny/Zabaleta/Demi.
Lallana -> Ramsey
Distin -> Demichelis
Lukaku -> RooneyOpen Controls- Open Controls
looks ready to go for the double!
Open ControlsI'm thinking of getting him this week and wait anothr week for United players
Open Controls
He should be back but will he be less effective with Aguero back?
Open ControlsNot my worry then.
Kun(c)Open Controls
Waiting until next week regardless.
Open Controls
Morning fellas! 😀
So, anyone following me into madness and shipping Suarez? Or just Christina? 😉
..or did Podolski break his leg overnight?Open ControlsThe way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if he did. I'm not ditching Suarez til 2016 i think when he moves to Real Madrid 😉
Open ControlsHaha Liverpool can keep him 😉
2 goals and 4 assists in 5 games.. A decent return but nothing spectacular worth 14m.. Can't see him running riot until Newcastle GW38 either.
Considering a 2 week punt on Podolski and then Rooney to Suarez last week of the season!
Whatcha think BsloeB? 🙂Open Controls2 goals and 4 assists being called not spectacualr just goes to show you how good he's been and consistent. But yeah with only 3 GWs left others could well be worth a punt. But they are punts and Suarez is the real deal. People are bigging up Palace too much I fear. They're better than before, but I dont think they'll hold out Suarez and co if the title is on the line.
Podolski could be a good shout but I feel unless you're using the money wisely elsewhere I'd stick with Suarez.Open ControlsAgree its a massive risk but what would this game be without those? 😉
I just really fancy Arsenal at home v Newcastle, and I don't trust Suarez to deliver massive points in the next two. He'll probably score, but not that much more than some others and less than some players.. Just a case of picking the right punt if I go for it.. Podolski looks good but I dunno how nailed on he is with Ox playing well and sitting on the bench.Open Controls
Sold him yesterday 🙂
Open ControlsOoooh what's your front 3? 🙂 Feeling confident? 😉
Open ControlsRooney Aguero Podolski
Not so much after the Chelsea news 😆 But nahh I'm confident it'll work out over the next two gameweeks, if not this one.
Have a sweet team now. Hits are great. More relaxed now since my rank went wayward after leaving my team dead for a month 😆Open ControlsThat's what I'm thinking 🙂
Ah, you know Chelsea are going to just sit back and defend anyway regardless and I don't think it'll be as weak a team as people expect.
The only question is... Will Podolski play and score well over the next two...Open ControlsHe will! Have faith 😉
Ramsey, Podolski, Rooney and Matata to smash in over the next two. I hope 😀Open Controls
at home against Chelsea B team and Mark Schwarzer, no way
Open Controlsinsanity
Open ControlsSuarez hasn't scored a goal against the top 4 this season, don't expect him to do too well vs Chelsea and then its Palace away where there won't be many goals, and then I'll have him back for Newcastle 🙂
But what's Podolski's prospects like? 2 very easy home fixtures, Arsenal look good, will Pod keep his place?Open ControlsSuarez vs top 4 teams this season:
Fixture / goals / assists
Ars(a) 0 0
City(a) 0 0
Chel(a) 0 1
Ars(h) 0 1
City(h) 0 1Open ControlsHey, you can expect a lawyers letter! Thats my hard work!
😉Open ControlsCredit to Christina! CREDIT TO CHRISTINA! 😯
😉 thanks christy 😉Open Controls
true but he is suarez...double digit score and a red arrow is likely my friend...
maybe get rid for gw37 cos of the dgw...but this week when theres only one game?Open ControlsYup, that's why its a risk and why not many will do it, but I don't see a double digit return against a defensive Mourinho's Chelsea.
And Arsenal have the best fixture possible this week, its worth the same as most DGWs when a team plays v Newcastle these days 😛Open Controlstrue, they are abysmal lol, but watching this guy called the true geordie after each loss is hilarious!
Open Controls
pod will keep his place and ramsey + ozil + cazorla have the ability to get the ball to him in the box where he finishes with such aplomb...good prospect
Open ControlsI like the sound of that...
Always like Podolski, just thought he was a bit of a lazy sh!te 😛
Now my season is potentially resting on his German shoulders..Open ControlsI might just cover my basis with Ramsey AND Podolski i think. Gives me another week to assess Rooney/ManU
Open ControlsKi/Luk->Ramsey/Podolski
I still think Podolski might score well with 60 odd minutes each vs New/WBA. His low ownership is just to good to be ignored.Open ControlsI'd be going with Ramsey, Rooney and Podolski 😉
Open ControlsAnd Mata for that mata.
Open ControlsNice. I will join you next week with Rooney.
Open Controls
You're chasing, aren't you?
Open ControlsI wasn't, but now I am 😆
Open ControlsBefore or after punts?
Open ControlsI benched Ramsey for Nasri..
Rival had Sterling and Baines..
We were neck and neck, now he's miles ahead (~50 points ahead).
I set myself the initial target of top 10k, now I'm like 9k, so with 20 more points I could be in the top 5k, that's what I'm chasing now!Open ControlsOkay, so his punts worked and you chickened out from your Ramsey punt.
Well, now you're going very balls out and it may work, but watch out you may be chasing rainbows.Open ControlsPretty much 😛
Here's hoping for a pot of gold at the end of it so!Open Controls
haha yeah...wenger doesn't play him much because he doesn't have the typical arsenal skillset....doesn't really get involved in the buildup and at times appears unmotivated, however the upturn in gametime should give him confidence, but as I said the main thing is finally there are players who can pass it to him (ramsey has set up his last three goals)
and hes a great guy!!Open ControlsI thought the typical Arsenal skill set means injury proneness.
Open ControlsSold.
Both for me!Open ControlsThink you just convinced me to commit insanity Aaron 😉
Thanks a million for the replies 🙂Open Controls
Any news regarding Sturridge? Took the risk and played him last week.... wasn't exactly worth it.
Open Controls
Gerrard, Lukaku => Ramsey, Rooney (-4) is then plan - good plan?
Now Terry injured and we are getting Suarez against Luiz in penalty area.....not so sure about ditching Gerrard anymore 🙁
Well I wasn't happy for that move even earlier, but Gerrard is the one to go if I get Ramsey (Eriksen, Mata, Nasri other mids).Open ControlsPlay one of the following:
A) Januzaj (NOR)
B) Puncheon (MCI)
Just not sure of Jan will start!Open Controls
Morning
Lallana-Amalfitano & Lukaku-Aguero this week for -8 ? Or next week for -4 ?
FT used on RamseyOpen ControlsDo you have to do the first one too? That's not going to be worth a -4 in itself. Lukaku-Aguero might be worth those -8 though. But that's a big punt and in case you don't do it, you should only regret if Aguero indeed scores over 8 points more than Lukaku. southampton has been conceding lately and have nothing to play. I'm not in rush to offload Lukaku. These are the times - i.e. the times when we sell him - when he starts to banging them, traditionally.
Open Controls
Sure
Open Controls
Yes I did the same transfer for a hit.
Open Controls
yes
Open ControlsIt's a risk to get any ManU player now. This is very complicated. Lukaku is sure to start, motivated and fit. You cannot say that of Rooney.
Open Controls
Rooney and the entire man utd team may not be motivated but will be driven to finish with some pride after Moyes being sacked. It is a risk yes but could pay off.
Open Controls
You misunderstand that dressing room. Will become exceptionally poisonous.
Open ControlsDoosra. There's a big case here that you might be wishing some things to happen because you got gutted about a move that was not unexceptional in modern football. Just because you wish they are less motivated when getting rid of a disliked manager doesn't mean they will. And seriously, there's little doubt he was disliked. Probably one of the main reasons he had to go.
Open Controls
Best replacement for terry? Currently have Coleman zaba ward Collins
Open ControlsWith Terry injured, does anybody think that instead of risking to play Luiz in defence against Suarez, Mourinho would move Ivanovic back to CB and start Cole, who played very well at Madrid, so well that Mourinho took time to point that out in his post match presser?
Open Controls
Defence is in a right mess, which 3 would you play out of these:
A. Cahill (liv)
B. Azpi (liv)
C. Collins (wba)
D. Ward (MCI)
E. Kos (NEW)
?Open Controls
I feel very confident going into the GW with a front 6 of
Mata Eriksen Ramsey
Suarez Aguero Rooney
Weird thing is, the less confident I am beforehand, the better I tend to do. Here's for breaking that pattern.Open ControlsWhich has more upside?
A) Luk->Pod -4
B)Terry->Kos -4Open ControlsA

A has a better chance of a big haul.
