After kicking off our series of Big Numbers articles with a look at the best performing Defenders over the first three Gameweeks, we now move further up the pitch. This time round we focus on midfielders, with a trio of summer signings all showing plenty of promise in their new surroundings.
Zaha looks good for a price rise 😯
No!! Mustn't!!
Already 😕
How many goals do we think Eto'o will score this season?
8-10
Six
7
Begovic (H) (Myhill)
Clyne (H) Debuchy Pieters
Mata (H) Eriksen Ramsey(H) Sigurdsson (A) Coutinho (H)
Rooney(H) Costa(H) Naismith(A)
(Myhill, Wisdom, Hutton)
1 FT, any ideas?Personally I would do Mata to Sterling
Is MNF on sky? NYG @ Detroit Lions
I'm sure you can find a stream somewhere.
Mata to Sterling, yay or nay?
Yay. Must be safe now
Damn everyone asked that two weeks ago..
I think anyone selling Mata this GW is mad.
Sterling does look, however a great option for this GW.
Certainly not for a hit, is my advice.
Isn't there a good chance he won't start?
I would call it a small chance. Falcoa may start on bench more likely, imo.
I think it's FFS herd mentality selling Mata on the chance he may be benched.
VG has made no indication that this will happen. Maybe he will during his presser, but i doubt it very much.
Mata has scored (iirc) 8 goals in the last 9 games as CAM. I may be completely wrong, but there is no way I am selling. 🙂
*yea
Thinking about doing rooney to aguero after chelsea match, thoughts?
WAIT
Until after CHE match or longer?
Problem with waiting is Aguero form is good and his a safer option than falcao or balotelli,Not to mention already 0.1 Price rise
\i would do it before the Chelsea game and get Aguero v west ham instead. If he is still fit
Balotelli or Rooney for the next two game weeks?
Roonpig, sadly.
I am toying with the idea with Balottell myself
Right. Zzz time ... thanks, all! Domani. 😀
Hasta la banana
Night
Have both Costa and hazard as doubts but still want to do Mata -> Sterling. Would you do it now (I have Siggy as first sub so still pretty satisfied if one of them doesn't play) or wait to make sure at least one can play.
Or just do Hazard -> Sterling/Fabregas?Are these on FTs?
1 FT
If you have only 1 transfer then get sterling
but would you do it now to not risk price changes or wait until either Hazard or Costa is confirmed fit?
I would wait especially with price rises virtually non-existent this year
Grrr was planning on playing Jones this GW. What's the latest?
Looks like a grade 1 or 2.
Didn't look in too much discomfort whilst coming off but I did notice him grimace/ gesture to the physio as the sub was made.
Wait for news, doesn't look great for this w/e.
Jovetic and Dier doubftul. De Jong out.
Feck. I might have to take a hit. But I fecking hate hits.
What has happened to Dier??
bandwagon lost it's wheels I reckon. seems that a few are selling.
coloccini jovetic mata > moreno welbeck sterling?
No brainer.
for a -8, or is it best to do a -4 and hold back on coloccini to moreno?!
I'd be tempted to just do Mata to Sterling and then wait. Welbeck v Man City isn't great. What's your bench?
This would make a great grav...
http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/77463000/jpg/_77463746_023814356-1.jpgyou could that into a great Vitruvian man with a little work.
Yeah, good idea... 😀
I've been tinkering away on my WC for far too long tonight. Thoughts on this final draft (for tonight at least!)
Krul / Elliot
Ivan / Lovren / PVA / Naylor / Moore
Siggy / Stirling / Fab / Ramsey / Zaha
Aguero / Costa / NaismithLooks nice. 🙂
Finally... Someone not kneejerking Moreno over Lovren...
Reckon we'll find out Costa news tomorrow?
Prob not until Chels press conf (thu/ fri?)
I think we won't find out at all like last time
'Diego Costa has been passed fit for Everton.'
My concern isn't if he'll start or not.
I'm more worried about him starting and the injury recurring.
It's putting me off captaining him for sure.If he's given the all clear, certain captain for me.
Risky
Which of these options would make you sleep better at night if they were on your team?
A. a defense with Ivanovic, Clyne, Moreno
B. a strike force of Aguero, Costa, Welbeck?B all the way. Ivanovic historically hasn't scored much more than the other Chelsea defenders and it will revert to normal soon. The other 2 are nothing special either just above average so far.
Although the injury proneness of the forwards you have there could be a concern I guess.ta
A. because of injury concerns
Schneiderlin or Larsson
Costa or aguero
Costa (cheaper)
A) haz aguero
B) silva costaWhat are people doing with Eriksen now?
Possible replacements Tadic or Mirallas?Tadic seems to be the sharper option at the moment, something about "in the hole"
I'm in with Tadic
i also have eriksen from ajax in. Are you giving him benefit of doubt gw4 or dropping him before? he was only subbed lastgw, maybe he was tired, or just a bad game.
Taking a 3 week punt on my 3rd striker to play beside Costa and Rooney before I get Sturridge,
(A)debayor
Well(B)eck
Dze(C)koA on fixtures
B
Do you have the money for (B)alotelli?
No I don't. Currently with Dzeko and have .5 to go to Adebayor and 1ft
Quick fire
A) haz aguero
B) silva costa
A if you're prepared to ride the Hazard rollercoaster.
A
Haz and Costa for me
B for me. Alot more Value there
Any news on the suspected Costa injury, 2nd week in a row?
Not yet. Await presser, but this info wasn't correct last time. So play him and have good first sub I'd recommend
Hmm... Welbeck...
I have a funny feeling I'm going to get him in on the WC this week. He's just too good not to have, regardless of who Arsenal are up against. Man City, Chelsea, etc. are still conceding goals.
That price-tag!!Mmm... I've currently got Rooney - Adebayor - Jovetic... Was going to get Costa/Balo for Jovetic this week but Welbeck is pretty tempting.
Immediate fixtures are putting me off. But 2 goals tonight....Certainly stil tempting
Yeah. City, Spurs and Chelsea in the next 4 might keep me away from him, for now.
Away at villa hasn't seemed to profitable so far this season either. If you have Ramsey in your side like me I don't want any more Arsenal for these ones
True. Atleast we know he won't rise heaps in price too 😉
On that point Innsie, even if he gets heavy investment over the next few days is he likely to rise before the weekend??
No idea mate. Price changes are up in the air atm.
Agree with all of this. I got him in. Bargain.
I think I'll just see how he gets on against City.
Think I will take out ivan and rambo on my WC...
Madness but ok ... who's coming in for them??
ADM and a cheaper defender to fund naismith to welbeck...
That's what I want to do!
Ivan > ShawX
Naismith > Welbeck
(Honestly, I'd rather wait and do that in two weeks but I can never follow through on planned transfers)
Gutsy move w/ Rambo. Don't think I'd drop him unless injury.
Could we have our first 4m starting keeper?
Could Alex McCarthy oust Green at QPR after a good string of performances for Reading in the prem a few seasons back and being very highly rated at championship level.
He rejected Liverpool at the end of this transfer window to sign for QPRHe looked fantastic at Reading. Good shout.
He could oust him later in the season, but I think Green's place in the league is secure for now.
This reminds me of David Marshall, really surprised no one snapped him up after his performances last season for Cardiff.Agreed ... he was a monster!
One of these players for next season I think. Unless he gets an opprotunity with a Green injury then he may be able to take over
So I will play clyne and moreno every week need a pair of 4.5 defender to rotate for the third spot...
Have nego in goal.
Suggestions please 🙂I'm in same boat.
I've gone Naylor & PVA but was tempted by Coloccini.Yeah think swansea is a good option, not sure who to partner naylor with...
Robertson (if fit) and Taylor.
Who is robertson..?
Hull.
Colo and Naylor
Sage Sheep on Contentment:
Most do not truly know what they want.
Achievement will not bring happiness,
Wealth will not bring happiness,
Possession will not bring happiness.
We desire that which makes us happy,
Yet we should desire happiness.
Why seek a false means,
When what we truly desire requires none?
True happiness is found within
In the present moment
In absence of thought and desire
In the nothingness and peace.
We need only to let go of thought.
Begovic/Krul
Hutton/Terry/Coloccini/Debuchy/Caulker
Sterling/Fab/Siggy/Ramsey/Albrighton
Rooney/Costa/Riviere
2 FT
Thinking of going
Debuchy > Clyne
Riviere > Welbeck
and then next week Rooney > Falcao
Yay? Nay?Good use of 2 FT. The Rooney > Falcao plan is quite premature since the latter hasn't even played for United yet, reassess after this weekend.
Appreciated, thanks!
I tried building a team with a Strike force of Dzeko, Naismith, Welbeck for a laugh. Felt like a cartel leader with all that cash. 😆
Did you have Sanchez, Hazard, Yaya and ADM in your midfield?
Had to keep Siggy though 😉
