Mondogoal Picks – Gameweek 4

Having navigated through another international hiatus, we return to domestic action and begin pondering our Fantasy line-ups. Mondogoal’s daily and weekend contests await, giving us another opportunity to find profit.

Mondogoal is a brand new daily and weekly Fantasy Football game which, in addition to the Premier League, covers all the major top-flight leagues – Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Major League Soccer (MLS). You can play games for each one, or even global contests that span across all the leagues. Mondogoal’s contests for the Champions League and the Europa League also start next week.

Check out our strategy guide for some tips on getting started and read on for our selection guide for the weekend contests.

Saturday’s Picks
With eight encounters on the agenda, Saturday boasts a raft of Mondogoal talent. Arsenal’s clash with champions City is undoubtedly the headline act but perhaps a fixture best avoided when it comes to selecting teamsheet talent. Aaron Ramsey’s (16.3m) fitness is a concern, while City could also be without Stevan Jovetic, leaving us looking to both David Silva (11.9m) and Sergio Aguero (9.7m) when backing Manuel Pellegrini’s side. Not surprisingly, Danny Welbeck is the value option on show for the Gunners – he’s available for just 7.4m going into Saturday’s game and, at that price, is worthy of consideration if you’re backing goals for the hosts.

Chelsea’s meeting with Swansea at the Bridge is another hard-to-call contest, and with Diego Costa (12.3m) an early injury doubt again, it might be time to look to Andre Schurrle (9.7m) as a midfield prospect. We’re tipping the German for a start and to provide a major goal threat to the Swans’ rearguard. Ramires, at just 6.1 this week, also looks a bargain after netting in the Goodison win.

Ronald Koeman’s Southampton will be buoyant after the 3-1 triumph at West Ham last time out and will face a Newcastle side who leaked three at home against Palace. That spells returns for the likes of Dusan Tadic (7.1m) and Graziano Pelle (5.6m) – the latter, in particular, looks a sure-fire bargain for our front lines after opening his account at the Boleyn Ground. I also like Ryan Bertrand at 6.0m, as a defensive pick from this one.

Stoke are another side who will go into the weekend brimming with confidence – their unlikely win at the Etihad will set them up nicely for the arrival of Leicester to the Britannia and I see Mame Biram Diouf (10.4m) providing a decent differential up front following his incredible solo effort against City. There are worse picks than Victor Moses (5.9m) as a midfield enabler, while the Potters will also be backed for a clean sheet against Nigel Pearson’s men: Phil Bardsley, at just 5.4 in Mondogoal, has to be a temptation for our backlines, although for 7.1m you can acquire Ryan Shawcross and his 8.79 Mondogoal points per game (PPG) record.

Elsewhere on Saturday, there’s some mid-price value to be had from Sunderland’s encounter with Spurs at the Stadium of Light. The hosts’ Seb Larsson (7.5m) and Nacer Chadli (7.7m) for the visitors present decent options – the latter boasts an impressive 12.49 Mondogoal PPG record thus far. We also fancy Aiden McGeady (6.8m) to continue his run of form with another start for Everton at West Brom.

Sunday’s Picks
There’s an obvious clamour for Man United’s assets ahead of their Old Trafford clash with QPR. Radamel Falcao, at just 8.8m, is a huge draw who will surely tempt plenty of Mondogoal investment for weekend and Sunday contests. Marcos Rojo is a far less explosive target but he’s set to make his United debut and, at just 7.3m, offers a cheap route into a defence which will be backed to earn a shut-out against Harry Redknapp’s men.

Monday’s Picks
In contrast, few Mondogoal managers will gravitate to the assets on show in Monday night’s floodlit clash between Hull and West Ham. Having said that, new Uruguayan marksman, Abel Hernandez, is available to us for just 4.3m but, according to Steve Bruce, is likely to miss out on his debut due to work permit delays. Nikica Jelavic, at 6.3m, also offers some value here having notched a pair of goals already this season, while Curtis Davies at 5.9m looks an option for those backing the Tigers for a shut-out.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        Stop suggesting Pieters to everyone. He's MY differential. 😉

        1. Sarri-ball
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Must admit I was tempted to pick some1 different in bardsley

    2. fordy049
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9 years, 9 months ago

      Henderson or Sigurdsson? If i don't get Sig now I wont be able to afford him in the future but they are playing Chelsea this weekend and Liverpool have decent fixtures

  2. YuvalSpurs

    9 years, 9 months ago

    My team for this GW:

    Krul(Myhill)
    Cahill-Clyne-Lovren-Wisdom(Bruce)
    Eriksen-Ramsey-Siggy-Di Maria (C) (El Ahmadi)
    Rooney-Costa (Jovetic)

    0FT 0.3 ITB

    Should I take a hit and take Jovetic out or stay with this team?

    1. Joletouriste
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      stay with this team

  3. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Lovren or Moreno???????

    1. BAZIM
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Lovren

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Tough one, I think Lovren will get more gaps but Moreno get some assists. Moreno low ownership.

  4. adp1113
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Question for Liverpool fans, who is the best most nailed on LFC defender to pick for fantasy? Lovren? Moreno?

    1. Kessler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Almost certainly Lovren! But personally I think Moreno is A) a differential and B) will score more goals and assists!

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      They are both nailed equally, no threat to their places. Keep an eye on Manquillo, at the moment he's getting rotated with Johnson (who's injured currently). If his performances can keep Johnson out, he'll be on the FPL bargains.

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Enrique or Flanagan could take the odd game off Moreno.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I really can't see it. Enrique is done I think. He'll find it very difficult to get back in to the team. Flanagan on the other hand may sneak in, but I see him being involved in cup games this year.

          1. Billy Gilmore
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            More likely featuring at RB imo.

      2. adp1113
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Jose Enrique not a threat for Moreno? Who is more likely to miss EPL games because of CL football?

        1. mod33
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Agree Enrique experienced in the prem will take some games off Moreno with the champ league about to start. Lovren is a must have every game (like Kompany)

        2. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Now that I can't tell you. It's tricky. Obviously you want your best players available for CL, but I think priority will be to be back in there next year. Conclusion....

  6. TheSteel

    I'm just so happy the international break is over

    1. Game of Stones
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Same!!

    2. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Can everyone please stop transferring out mata.his value is gonna drop and I don't want to have to make a rash decision because of everyone else'seems rash decisions!

  7. Game of Stones
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Begovic - McCarthy
    Bertrand - Coloccini - N Taylor - Moore - 5.5

    Who is the best defender for that price tag? Lovren/Moreno?
    Not really too tempted by Liverpool defenders tbh...

    1. BAZIM
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Try Shawcross, great line of fixtures coming up and good goal threat

      1. Game of Stones
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Trying not to double up on defenders

        1. BAZIM
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Ah, yes, that's true. Then let go of the price tag and try Van Aanholt (you have Coloccini else i would have said Janmaat) they both have great attacking stats. Could be a goal here or there in place of a clean sheet and the difference in bonus points in the event of a cleanie

          1. Game of Stones
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah, might be a option - if I get PVA, then I can do Colo > Janmaat as well

  8. anish10
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Okay I'm set:

    Krul Elliott
    Clyne Moreno Pieters Naylor Wisdom
    Siggy Ramsey Sterling Hazard Zaha
    Costa Aguero Naismith

    0.4 ITB

  9. Mindless Freak
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Who to replace Mata with? In the 9.0-9.5m bracket. Silva?

    1. anish10
      • 13 Years

      FAB

    2. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      keep him for QPR

    3. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      ADM

      1. Mindless Freak
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Could Schurrle start against Swansea?

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Course he could. He might not, though

  10. Koflok
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Balotelli (c)

    or is he out as well?

    1. Ser Football 42
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Why would he be out ?

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Got a bug

  11. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Falcao and Chadli

    or

    Di Maria and Welbeck ?

  12. The Consultants
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I already did Terry, Jovitic, and Mata - Costa, Sterling, moreno. (-4) - I'm REALLY tempted to take another -4 to do Rooney - Balotelli. . With Sturridge out I think he is going to TEAR up Villa.

    Admittedly I"m a Liverpool fan...

    Thoughts?

    1. no1baj
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      As a Liverpool fan, try to avoid getting our players in. If they don't perform then you're double disappointed...

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      If you really think he will tear Villa a new arsehole, and Rooney will blank against QPR, do it.

    3. Azathoth
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Let your mind decide , not your heart.....

    4. mod33
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not worth it!

  13. GoonerByron
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Any 5.5 Man Utd defender 100% nailed on?

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Evans, especially with Jones out.

      1. GoonerByron
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        It's for Ultimate FPL so I'm looking from now until Jan.. 😐

  14. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Dammit Diego. A frontline without him is very tempting - but the doubts also make me much happier about having a strong, Sigurdsson-shaped bench.

  15. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    My current front 8:

    Fabregas Ramsey Lamela Sigurdsson Mata
    Rooney Costa Naismith

    Think I can save FT?

    With the uncertainty over Sterling starting against Villa, I don't see any point in making any transfers this week. Not really interested in any player other than Sterling just yet.

    Thanks.

    1. dicky2014
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Why wouldnt Sterling start????

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Bib theory suggests he won't. But no concrete evidence either way.

    2. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      There is no uncertainty over Sterling.

      1. mod33
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        This ^^ he will start for definate especially with studge out

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Seems people had a different opinion on the previous page and quickly changed their mind 😉
          This is so confusing.

      2. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Meaning? Will he start or not?

        1. mod33
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Yes for definate he's the main man! A none Sterling owner started this rumour I'm guessing

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Cheers. I agree with your reasoning, but the bib theory isn't exactly a rumour, its proved useful before.

            1. liquidfootball2
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              It would be strange if he missed out, as this is probably a far more difficult game given Villa have a bit of confidence and a good recent record at Anfield. I would have thought a squad team easily good enough for FC Ludicrous.

  16. Cauthon91
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Does anyone know if Alderweireld is nailed on?

    1. A Defender's Nightmare
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

  17. dicky2014

    My first 11 this weekend all play at home 🙂 Going to be my lowest scoring week isnt it 🙁

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

    2. VougieDipond
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      If it isn't next week will be a sore one

    3. theloveburglar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      no next week will be

      1. dicky2014
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Apart from Chelseas away game, the games next week arent that bad.

  18. gaz1185
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Final changes to the WC. I'm still unsure on my GK's though, I have 10.2 to spend on the pair - any recommendations?

    Lloris

    Moreno | Evans| Clyne

    Di María | Chadli | Ramsey | Sterling | Fábregas

    Diego Costa | Naismith

    Bench: Krul | Duff | Wilson | Welbeck

  19. Seamy
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Whats peoples opinions on Moreno, haven't seen him play?

    Better pick than Lovren?

  20. Saniul
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    If Moreno is subject to an odd rest from Flannagan or Enrique, why isn't Lovren subject to the same rest threat from Skrtel/Sakho, whoever is third choice.

    Don't get the logic here.

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Fullbacks expend more energy than CBs so perhaps more necessary to get a break once and a while.

    2. SW6
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      CBs don't need as much rest.

  21. I am 42
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    1) Jones to Moreno, Terry Dier Moreno (-4)
    2) Jones to Wilson, Terry Dier Wilson (-4)
    3) Jones to Others, Terry Dier Others (-4)
    4) Terry Dier, Wisdom or Duff, bench Jones

    thanks all

    Which is better

    A Collocini, and PVA

    B Manquillo and 4.0 ??? Duff, Moore, Wisdom

    B) Costa
    C) Pelle
    D) Fabregas

    1. VougieDipond

    Guys, think I'm sorted with my wildcard.

    Begovic (McCarthy)
    Moreno Clyne Chester (NTaylor Moore)
    Fabregas Siggy Stirling Di Maria (Boyd)
    Balotelli Costa Welbeck

    £2.6M ITB to get Kun/Falcao in. Di Maria is a short term punt over Ramsey given injury concern and fixtures.

    Good to go for this week?

  26. BAZIM

    Costa / Naismith / Welbeck

    Is Ivanovic a must have?

    1. dicky2014
      • 9 Years

      YES, worth every penny.

    2. the cromulent one
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      No one is a must. Attacking returns from defenders are inconsistent at best

  28. YuvalSpurs
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Any chance Alderweireld starts over Clyne?

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nope

    Hello,

    Any changes required to my WC team

    Krul
    Ivan (c), Dier, Duff
    Blind, Sterling, Ramsey, Fabregas
    Falcao, Costa, Naismith
    Sub: Foster, Siggy, Caulker , N Taylor

    I hope it can be a good week for me

    1. gravless
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling, Costa, Ramsey and Falcao may not start

      1. dicky2014
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Why wouldnt Sterling start? He is my (C)

    2. Badgevilla
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Blind out Siggy in,

    3. BAZIM
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Siggy instead of Blind (he is a defensive mid no chance of him foraging forward with the attacking lineup at United, plus, LVG would want things tight so as not to lose another game). And, I don't think Caulker should be on the bench (IMO). ManU will sweat out any goal with Caulker and Ferdinand at central defence! Mark my words
