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.
Hello Bony owners what are you doing?
Considering -4 swap Bony to Welbeck
My other forwards are: Sturidge(!) & Roon
Shouldn't you be prioritising the injured one?
ok
Sturridge >> Balotelli
Keep Bony.
should be Sturidge not likely to play this will be bigger concern ... so Stu to Balo maybe (I dont have funds to Kun ):
Hi guys, how are we all?
Any price risers tonight or just Rooney falling?
Moreno, Clyne.
You said that last night 😉
Sorry. Regurgitating. But they do look the most likely.
Would be annoyed if Moreno rise, seems like he has another day at least.
There'll be three times as many fallers as risers. Bookmark.
It's usually 4 or 5 times.
I am the Oracle.
I am the Walrus ...
You are the Ape-man.
Goo goo gu chu.....or something like that 😆
Nearly!!! 😀
Stones is terrible
I'd have played Chambers at RB.
Same
Clyne surely!
Haha yeah but of those in the squad 😉
Guys calm down with this Jones stuff. We have no idea about the severity of the "injury" and he has 6 days until the next game.
Could be a cramp for all we know.
He's dead bro.
The way he was moving would imply a hamstring injury, not cramp. Particularly as there were no traditional attempts to alleviate cramp.
He seems to walking off the pitch fine, though.
You may be right but I'd keep until further news.He seemed to be walking*
He was stretching his foot back wasn't he?
His head fell off
this welbeck love will have crashed and burned by GW5
Another poor attempt at keeping his price down. He will smash it at Arsenal but I can't get him yet. Probably for Rooney next week
haha i think you're reading a bit too much into it. I think hes going to get rotated with sanchez and sanogo, and he has city next.
The sheer amount of people with him in WC teams is staggering when he hasnt played a game for arsenal yet.He is nailed on and as striker as well until Giroud is back
You're failing to consider this is Wenger we are talking about. He bought Bendtner and played him sometimes ...
....when they had other viable options.
I can see Wenger thinking it's a good idea to play Sanogo over Welbeck some games, also doubt he will hit the ground running and fixtures aren't the best. Naismith all the way, until Welbeck starts banging them in and nails down a spot
Just no.
We'll see
I second this
Same can be said about the fella in your grav, but in a shockingly poor team. 😀
If one is on a WC, one plans for the future 🙂
I think you're wrong.
I think maybe you know you're wrong too.
Sounds like you have history.
nah. i just tend to avoid players who rarely score or assist 😛
Two goals for England?
*when he was out of position.
when he plays as a striker he scores
This Welbeck move kind of makes me think of when Sturridge went to Liverpool from Chelsea
+1 I think it will work for him.
hehe see so much love for him!
Hope it does work out for him, and you guys, completely agree about Falcao - staying well clear until he starts getting regular 90's, then he's in.
Can Andy Townsend please feck off?
Would actually prefer Michael Owen.Hang on, that's too far.....
I wouldn't go that far 😯
I'd prefer if they played audio recordings of cats being disembowelled.
That's always fun listening to.
Especially with the parents.
Link?
No links, just a fun Thursday night out in the estate.
😀
Wash your mouth out 😯
*vomits everywhere*
You're sick.
Andy Townsend is a tool
If only Robbie Earle hadn't sold his tickets to some fitties.
If only big Ron hadn't trained malky mackay
WOAH.
Stop the bus
Grav test?
Very hat like!
😀 It's a rainbow hat
More Chimplike.
But now so rainbow!
Hot!
Although the new one is a bit better 😉
Get in Cahill! Jones too busy holding his arm up for offisde
Great defending. First time I've been able to say that about England tonight
He was right to be fair. Great work from Cahill.
and he was offside
yeah he was but play the whistle!
Agreed
Well that was a dissapointment
Indeed. Hope you can make it tomorrow night.
Doubt it. Work 4 nights Off 4 nights. Not gone to bed with wife tonight for this. Won't go to bed with wife on last night as it helps me orientate myself back to night shift. Leaves me 2 nights of sleeping with my lady. Any less does not a healthy marriage make.
Understood. Rank 'em well, mate! 😀
I will have a go. It's a shame it really fitted in to my last night of work last night well too. I will mess up these rankings I know
Would you rather:
Mata > Mirrallas
Ramsey > Tadic
To fund Jovetic to Balotelli
Cheers 🙂
MnM
Haha hmm You don't fancy Mata against QPR?
Mirallas
Cheers
Mata to Mirallas.
Are you not concerned about rotation, Doos?
Martinez rotated Mirallas and the other mids and wingers like crazy last season, even when they didn't have fixture congestion. Now they have 7 games in 22 days.O.0 :s
duelofeu is gone though
Replaced with Atsu
Cheers
can you do mata to tadic?
Wish I could 🙠wouldn't be able to get Balo otherwise.
Rooney played a good part in the goal
That 10 yard pass was world class
It was the best available.
LMAO
😀
he played a part alright
A Rooney brace this week will throw a cat amongst the pigeons...
So will a Falcao brace!
So will any brace tbh 😆
I'm beginning to think Rooney might be past it. A bit early too at his age.
I'm inclined to agree with you.
Especially if Mata gets assists on Rooney's brace
Morning guys.
Didn't see the game last night. I'm guessing the Welbeck bandwagon is up and running (if wasn't already after his transfer).
In reality, did he play well though?
He did ok .. took his chances well.
If he is a starter at Arsenal which I think he will be .. at his price he is well worth it .. he will get chances and will put a few goals away imo .. all about gametime imo
Shinned goal in, made a few blunders. 9 FPL points all the same.
40 yarder or shinned you won't here anyone on Here complain .
Thanks guys.
Used my transfers this week already, so I guess I'll see how things go before I bring anyone in.
*13
Thought it finished 1-0 😳
Wenger would have taken him off. 😉
Shinned goal? Like Rooney's against Man City?!
When he gets his chance down the centre, he will get so,e form of returns.
He may spray 100 crosses/passes wide, or trip himself up 9 times out of 10, but you only need that one chance to get points.
Aka Yaya. I'll wait to bring him in for Arsenals lovely week 8 onwards fixtures.
RMWCT?
Guzan
Hutton, PvA, Wisdom
Ramsey, Fabregas, Sigurdsson, Sterling
Aguero, Falcao, Costa
(Given, Boyd, Duff, Moore)
Thx!Falcao bench role this week imo.
That defence is like Gibraltars.Gibraltar 😆
nice, but maybe rooney over falcao
Absolutely dreadful back 7
That defence is amazing.
Understand the cheap defense with that front line and mid.
But
Guzan and Hutton horrible fixtures. Krul and someone but think you have all the playing 4.0'sPvA > Dummett 😯
That defence is aids, and not the good kind.
Re jig to lose Falcao and spread some over the back, United have only had a week and a bit to sort their form, and with all their new players, that will take some time to say the least.
Dear Jagielka owners, a word of warning:
http://www.ftbpro.com/posts/toby.bryant/1251450/who-should-start-as-centre-back-for-everton-against-west-bromThere are Jagielka owners?
Believe it or not 😉 is a cheap route into what was meant to be one of the best defences in the league
They had/still have crap fixtures though...
Take a look at this:
http://statsbomb.com/2014/08/epl-2014-15-season-preview-everton-2/
Not likely to be one of the best defences in the league this season.
Rubbish. Distin is 37 years old. Why on earth would he first-choice over Jagielka?
Just checked last night price change.
Amazing price system... 🙠ðŸ™only cameron get down on 4.3 and i will buy him 🙂
Cahill. Legend.
1 minute silence for those who wildcarded in international break for the sake of TV
People do that?!
BREAKING NEWS: Welbeck is 1.1 million quid underpriced on FPL!
*2.1
21*
lol. Wouldn't touch the buffoon if he was 5.5.
Amazing how a change of club can instantly change people's opinions on a player.
Arsenal signed him so he must be good!
No, he's going to be nailed on so he's good for FPL. We're he nailed on at that price for Man Utd we'd all get him.
will he start for 80 min minimum next gw? or will he be slowed into rotation making him usefuk for transfer in only in 2-3 gw time?
I think he'll start personally but that's just my opinion, I don't have him yet - burnt my transfers early and he has tricky fixtures so I'm praying for a slow start from him!
ok...i've got Jove and still in doubt if jove will be fit for gw 4, or drop for Naismith, Weismann the austrian, or Welbz....what do u think?
if jive is fit, id keep jove as i think hell start ahead of dzeko to play along kunIf Jovetic is confirmed out I'd trade for Welbeck with Naismith my second choice and Weimann third. Arsenal striker at that price is a great bargain in my view.
chers thnx. so you're high on Welbz o start asap for Arse and not eased into rotation right? w/ risk of sanogo and podolski gtime.
others (punt) to ponder Jove> are ulloa 5.6, jelavic 6.0, diouf 6.4,
pelle 7.5, ....what do you think...?
he was good at United
lol
Even if Arsenal had a nailed on cardboard cut out of Thierry Henry up front I'd have him if he was cheap like Welbeck.
I don't give a shit how good or bad he is, he will get goals because of that lovely arsenal midfield, and at 6.9, he's fantasy gold dust!
You wise?
Welbz best no 9 in England
If it has come to that...
Who else has just signed Welbz in FPL? Looked class didn't he!
In my team now. All aboard! Never in doubt! Choooo chooooo!Who for?
Costa
Costa who may only be out for one week or no time at all? And is the form striker in the league?
You bite too easy 🙂
How would you know? 😛
I have a gift for those who are looking for a bite 😉
I hope you took a hit.
Mistake!
Will get injured stepping off plane
i was thinking in adebayor, but welbeck is tempting
Great that you've snapped. 😉
My front 3 ATM Sturridge-Aguero-Jovetic
Sturridge>Balo
and
Job>Welbeck?Jov*
Wait for fitness news...
Yea, I would wait on fitness news
Haters gon hate
Does this mean anything?
Potatoes gonna potate.
https://vine.co/v/Oze6nwi5pDe
King ZlatanNow that I think about it, Arsenal were probably the worst club that ManU could sell Welbeck to.
True 🙂
They didn't want to sell to a competitor so had to before Burnley came in for him
Worried about the relegation battle ?
Haven't looked on here or any other football opinion site today...So being completely objective...
Wilshere was poor tonight.
In fact, he's poor in most games. Just don't "get" him. World-beater on football manager, distinctly average in real life.
He does have his moments
As do most players. They're few and far between. Can beat the first man, but never a second or third. Either gives the ball away or falls over.
Everyone slates Michael Carrick for passing the ball backwards/sideways, but sometimes it IS necessary in that deeper role. Wilshere could have benefited from a bit of it tonight.
I don't see it either, but there must be something
Madness to do Ramsey > Sterling (and keep Mata for now)? Fixture-wise Mata could still produce the goods if nailed. Ramsey has terrible fixtures in the next four weeks.
Form over fixtures for attackers IMO
Mata to Sterling is no brainer 🙂 i would keep Ramsey
Madness indeed. Mata not even nailed.
This. I too think Mata will be benched if RVP, Falcao and Rooney start.
AdM will take his spot in the 352. Might play if we go 433. But no certainty.
What evidence do you have for this?
It couldn't be more obvious. He's not good enough.
😯
Can't even get capped for his national team.
Dropped for half a season and sold to a rival club by a top manager.
I don't understand why people can't see it.
One of the most overrated players I can remember.
I've got all 3 Sterling, Ramsey, Mata ... and Mata will be first overboard if he doesn't play vs. QPR
Don't plan any other transfers.
I've also considered dropping Ramsey (currently on WC).
Fixtures are terrible in the short term. ADM or Fabregas if I do? Already have Sterling and Hazard...
No. Sterling is the one 'essential' right now. However, try and keep Ramsey (due to ownership %), take out Mata.
Seems an unanimous vote. Cheers guys.
I would get Sterling in for either. I'd keep Ramsey as he's guaranteed more minutes on the pitch and is still ticking along on key passes and seems to always be in the box irregardless of where his starting position is.
Love Mata as a player, and he could still deliver, but if you had to sell one...it'd have to be Mata.
I have one FT and I think my team suddenly looks in a bad shape with Jones, Debuchy, Mata.
Currently on
Krul Foster
Cahill Debuchy Jones Moore Bruce
Mata Ramsey Sterling Siggy Marney
Costa Rooney Naismith
I think i will wait to see how serious is Jones injury and then maybe shift Mata to Fab or Rooney to Augero??
What do you guys think? Thanks.
Mata to anyone
If you replace Marney with Fab nor far from my team, who is then the go to mata replacement?
their goalie is nearly as bad as hart
😀
Hart is head and shoulders above him
Which DEF looks better to you guys?
a) Bego,
Ivan Clyne NTaylor Duff Wisdom
b) Krul,
Ivan Clyne NTaylor PVA DuffB
I'd agree.
B but Stoke cover looks a strong idea. I have B but Moreno over PVA
It does. I'm finding it very hard to take Begovic put with Leicester and QPR coming up
I have the same dilemma but unless I downgrade Moreno or Kun I can't. Considered Moreno to Pieters but Pool defensive cover looks very tasty too ðŸ™
