Our first members article of the week delves into the data from the previous round of fixtures. We cast an eye over the displays of Liverpool, as well as Arsenal, Leicester and Southamptonβs new strikers and also analyse a number of favourably priced midfielders from Spurs, Everton and Burnley over the season so far.
Duff
Duff π
Duff
These responses remind me of Eastenders!
Normally Clyne, but having Sigurdsson would make the decision tough. I would play duff.
Never bench clyne !
Clyne
Thank for response guys but still.................. the dilemma.
Transfer options...
A) Terry β‘ Berty
B) Bony β‘ Pelle or Welbeck
C) Mata β‘ Sterling
D) Save the Transfer.
Any thoughts please guys?
B. Pelle
B-Bony has been a total waste of time at the minute. Gomis is detrimental to his game time. I'd go for Welbeck and pocket the cash.
Bony ---> Pelle looks good - something not quite right with Bony atm π
Decent fixs though for the Swans
It's a tricky one to ditch I think.... And he's at home.
I can see a goalfest at the liberty stadium this week tbh. Rethought it and keep him. Save it or spend it elseewhere ( besides the above options)
maybe save FT then? hard decision this one, so may be best to wait it out this GW... π
A this week
B next
B, Bony to Pelle
Just had a look at your team, your front 8 is good for this week.
Wisdom and Bruce are problems, maybe consider getting Duff for one of them so you can keep Terry for AVL next week?Bruce is a massive problem, but as long as others are a cert (ish) to play in defence I could carry him for a bit.
I have no LFC cover which is a tad worrying, and I'm also concerned about Matas game time...
Plus Bony isn't firing, but seems mad to sell him at home v Sot plus decent fixs.
Really tricky.I'll be very surprised if Mata doesn't start this week, and if he does then he has the potential to score well. You could lose him for Sterling next week possibly...
Bony needs to go IMO but keep him this week. Then you'll have more time to assess the replacement options (Pelle, Welbeck etc).
B with Signore Graziano
Who?
I'm sticking with mata atm and he is repaying the faith. I think he was unlucky not to get 2 goals against QPR and his away record looks good and he's takin more advance positions, also can be a good differential.
Do you not think they may play Rooney in the Mata position away from home ?
More dog in him ?
Surely Falcao starts this week ?3 strikers looks a bit heavyweight imo. Also why change a winning formation, I think falcao will start instead of rvp. Anyways Mata can also score coming off the bench(like 2goals against Norwich last year) !!
D-you've waited this long Evs, 1 more week ain't gonna kill you.
It looks Pelle/Wellbz/Ade will be the way forward.
B toss a coin
I would give Bony another Chance...I would go with A
Thanks guys, I'm still not sure...
There maybe a wee repost on this over the next day or so πD = Presuming you still have WC and don't need major surgery this week.
All will play, this week is likely to be a low-scoring week, save for better fixtures next week.Yep still have WC.
I don't think it will be a low scoring week, some plum fixtures in there.
United, LFC.
looks like a save to me.
berty has a tough fixture - might as well wait another week
bony has a good run of fixtures
mata played well, should keep his place this week.if pushed to a corner, probably mata as the falcao starting is iminent and not sure what happens then
Sve it or sort out defence, taking Terry out night be good plan,will give more money for your next transfer
Bony could do well, Mata could do well
Terry > Bertrand
Likelihood of chelsea CS?
keeping in mind that chelsea are likely to park the bus v man cityI actually think pretty good.
Jose always goes more defensive v bigger teams.not high, but they could nick one...
Pellegrini knows he has stop Chelsea..they simply have to score. 1-1 or 2-1 either way for me.
I'm not feeling it. Terry looks a step slower this year and that is the difference between being caught flat-footed by Aguero's pace and using his positional sense and experience to stop threats and even make up for others mistakes. Chelsea not only have leaked goals, they've given up a lot of chances.
@NABIL,
You said on the last page that the Merseyside derby isn't famous for goals, I disagree. I posted this a few weeks ago.
The numbers next to each match is the average number of goals across the past three seasons in all competitions.
Derbies:
Manchester Derby - Man City v Man United - 4.25
North London Derby - Arsenal v Tottenham - 3.42
West Midlands - Aston Villa v West Brom - 3.33
Merseyside Derby - Everton v Liverpool - 3.14
London Derbies - Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, QPR, West Ham, Palace - 2.71
North West Derby - Liverpool v Man United - 2.37
Tyne-Wear Derby - Newcastle v Sunderland - 2.33
West London Derby - Chelsea v QPR - 2.00
Other Notable London Derbies:
Arsenal v West Ham - 4.50
Tottenham v Chelsea - 3.42
Tottenham v West Ham - 3.40
Arsenal v Chelsea - 3.14have a +1. interesting.
Interesting..but with these kind of stats, alot can change.
For example, a freak 6-1 Man City victory is included. QPR's defence is woeful and the 2.00 figure will be highly inaccurate I feel.
However, I do agree, the merseyside derby and north-london always seem to provide goals throughout history.
How's this team guys
Guzan (manone)
Terry chambers Blackett (Hutton Wilson)
Siggy Ramsay di Maria Fabregas sterling
Costa adebayor( Naismith)
Feel like I've covered most bases but I don't have a Southampton player, sort or wanted Bertrand in but I'm 0.4 short. Still, what do we think?Should I play clyne or Cahill?
Cahill, IMO.
Clyne
Clyne
Why did Moreno lose his assist??
Begovic
Cahill/ Naylor/ Chester
Hazard/ Ramsey/ Siggy/ Sterling
Rooney c/ Costa/ Pelle
Gilks/ Dummet/ Wisdom/ marney
1FT 0.9 ITB
Thinking dummet to duff and no hits.
Anything else people would do?
repost 2Nice team there, I would do that transfer. Though Chester has some worries on his starting berth
thanks mate,
Yeah i will play instead of chester likely. Will just see if chester plays next week.
So this is my team…what do you think I should do? 1 FT and 1.7m in the bank
DDG
Terry Chester Caulker Moreno
Sterling Ramsey Schurrle Siggy
Rooney Aguero Naismith
A) Terry + Schurrle —-> Ivanovic/Baines + Chadli/Mirallas
B) Chester + Schurrle —-> Ivanovic/Baines + Chadli
C)Terry/Caulker + Schurrle —-> Duff + Di Maria/Sanchez/10.3m
D) Terry + Schurrle + Naismith ----> Duff + Chadli + Costa -8
Open to any other suggestions.
Cheers πDifferent crowd ... same result from me π
C - Terry & Schurrle > Duff & DiMaria
And then get Costa in next week, definitely!!this too.
Cheers lads π
I like A
B) is a really sound move, imo. Still Ivanovic, although that will change in a week or so. Perhaps Clyne or Shawcross?
How about Baines instead? Don't fancy Clyne or Shawcross, tbh.
Problem is if I invest in Baines/Ivan I'd want to keep for AVL/Derby. If I get ADM, he could potentially be a 1 week punt and then downgrade so I can afford Costa. Might be hard to get Costa in if I invest in the defence.
Might just end up doing B, but with Duff. Leaving enough cash for Costa, if I downgrade Terry next week.....toughie.
D. but with Moore instead of duff and do the costa transfer next week
I have 1 of each option. Well, taht was conclusive π
Thanks lads π
Replacement for Terry? Must be 5.0 or under to allow transfer in of Chadli.
Other defenders are Clyne - Robertson - PvA - Mooretripier, naylor, collo
Bertrand or Morgan
Chambers?
Hey Doos, you reckon chambers is 100% nailed on? The new guy Bellerin can play rb as well.
Wilson! Look at those fixtures! Or maybe double up on Soton with Bertrand
stil pondering about shipping balo out for rooney for a hit - would you do that or am i good to go?
mcarthey (STK)
Collo (HUL) duff (SUN) moreno (whu)
Miralas (CRY) (VS) sterling (whu) siggy (SOU) tadic (swa)
Costa (mci) Adebayour (WBA) (C) balotely (whu)
Begovich (qpr), fabregas (mci) bertrand (swa) moore (MUN)
if i bring in rooney he is also a good captain candidate.balo doesn't inspire much confidence - could be worth it in the long run π
his goal yesterday really annoyed me - i was all set to change - but he is so childish that a goal might make him interested again...
Yep. I'd do it. Can;t believe you got Fab on your bench π―
well, other option is tadic - and i can see a goal fest in swansea and jose is surely bringing a giant bus to city and parks it in the middle.
close call
how many will mess I score tnite?
im sure he will score, can easily get a hat-trick...
REPOST:
Here is my team, along with 2 FTS, 0.8ITB.
DeGea
Wilson PvA Duff
Hazard Siggy Ramsey Sterling
Ade Rooney Costa
Bench: xx, Clyne, Marney, Hutton.
Any ideas as to how to spend a FT on this team?
Keen on keeping Haz.replied on last page...
Cheers AR, but DeGea has a plum fixture this week, would it be justified to go for Froster?
yeah probably not...the Hutton ---> Naylor suggest is probably better π
in all honesty, your team is great, really no need to do anything πCan I just lock that FT in my cupboard? π
P.s. I have just fallen in love with that Villa defence.yeah, as I said, no need to make a transfer...wasting an FT, what an achievement π π
Thanks, yeah AR. Truly an achievement! π
your team is fantastic IMO.
maybe hutton for a long term defender like naylor but honestly - very good team.thanks mate. Looking forward to keeping hutton, villa look great defensively.
Guy here's my team for gw5...need any changes? was thinking ivanovic to baines just for one gw
bego
ivan clyne Moreno
siggy sterling hazard tadic
costa Naismith rooney
subs myhill puncheon colo mooreWaste of transfer imo. If bringing for long term, then its fine
In UCL, Is 36pts decent score for MD1?
think so - how many you got left? π
5- Alaba, Rakitskiy, Brahami, Martinez and Messi π
nice - im on 35 with Messi Ibra Fabregas Brahimi Azpilicueta and Marquinhos π
Would have crossed 40pts if didn't downgraded Bale to Kagawa and upgrade Benat to Raul Garcia π
Are you switching captaincy to Messi?π
not sure - tempted but may well just keep it on cr7 πI am probably changing... Set the threshold to 10pts
You got more high scoring players though π
Folks...any suggestions for this team
Krul
Cahill / Clyne / Pva
Ramsey / Mata / Sterling / Fabregas
Rooney / Naismith / Costa
(Guzan / Boyd / Moore / Wisdom)
1 FT & 0.6m itbhow about Cahill -> Naylor this week and this allows me to do Naismith -> Pelle next week ?
ooo I like that π
get Naylor or Wilson or rather anyone else in that range?
maybe Wilson - cracking fixtures and should come good soon π
cheers mate...but do you think he's shoved off competition from Huth ?
I think so - he has been playing well too π
ok then I'll go for it...should I wait till Saturday ?
Is Cahill gonna drop ?
I would bring in Pelle this week. Swans are in shambles in the defence.
You could definately save this week too, and do both next week.not enough money itb to bring in Pelle this week...also if i save FT then i'll have to play Cahill which am reluctant atm
Rather I can get Duff in place of Wisdom this week and get the above transfers done next week for a hit
Rooney ---> Falcao π
nah, save FT imo πsave!
Only one player in the first 11 playing at H next round, guess who it is?
siggy
Marney
Aguero?
I only say that because i'm in that same position π
Saw that on the poll Diego Costa is most voted captain choice. I personally am thinking of captaining Sterling
Who should I captain?
A. Sterling
B. Costa
C. Siggy
D. Someone else (got no spurs or MU attack)
From these, Costa.
Others: Aguero or Rooney
Any Mods around?
Everytime I open an article using my phone, some random download starts. The last two were snapea something and mobogarden. I have no idea what they are as I cancel the downloads.
And sometimes the app store automatically opens.
Once I also got rerouted to some site giving info about some apps, don't remeber the name now.
Never had this issue before but this jas been happening for the last couple of weeks.Siggy is a risk with Saints defence. Forster is a cracking keeper.
Can't see goals in the City/Chelsea match, so Costa appeal is limited.
Sterling is a good shout but many [including myself] were burnt by his non-starting berth.Thats why you need captain Rooney
Reply fail to Patdowser 2 posts up
Ade (C) FTW.
who to bench?
Ramsey Mata Sterling Siggy Fab
Rooney Costa NaismithSiggy from that lot
Ready to go?
Krul
Pieters / Kaboul / Taylor
Di Maria / Sterling / Ramsey / Siggy / Zaha
Costa / Rooney (C)
Gilks / Clyne / Ferdinand / ZamoraGTG
Ta
Debuchy to someone else (-4)
or play HuttonPlay hutton
Hutton
play hutton π
I have grown dissillusioned with Dzeko and looking to transfer his out this week.
a) Dzeko to Pelle
b) Dzeko to Ade (and captain this week)
C) give him one more week as City are at home (appreciate it's a tough game)
Also how do you get a picture on your profile?A

Excellent thanks, looks like Pelle it is then
Profile updated and probably the first Crawley Town fan on the site
Hello
Please help me bench one:
Ramsey, Sterling, Fab, Siggy, Herrera
I am thinking if benching Ramsey - am I mad?
I would say none of the above, who is your third striker?
Should be him or Herrera
Herrera [3rd striker pending]
Thanks.
I have Naismith as my 3rd striker. Should I bench him instead?Tough call, after his (Naismith) performance last week I would say yes, but for me it's a coin flick between him and Herrera, who won't get forward as much against he was allowed to against QPR on a regular basis.
Thanks. Can you please explain why you think Herrera won't get fwd as much? I really think Herrera played excellently against QPR
Fab
With Kaboul being named spurs captain yesterday surely he's as nailed on as you can get.
Good option at 5m?Yes
to both?
Yes
kaboul named spurs captain? π―
that's lovely π
red card magnet - noI was surprised, thought it would be Vertongen, or Lloris.
He does pick up a few cards, but think Spurs will improve defensively over the next few weeks.
Bertrand (5m) a better option at Saints
I have Clyne already, and don't want to double up.
Which option?
A) Dummett to Duff
B) Play Hutton or Moore and save transferA
A
Balo scored π
Would you save a FT this week with this team?
Krul
PVA Clyne Robertson (Naylor Wisdom)
Sanchez Fabregas Sterling Siggy Lamela
Rooney Costa (Vaz Te)
1.5 ITBYes
Hi all, after 4 weeks of inconsistency, I'm planning on using my WC to get this team:
Guzan/Heaton
Duff Hutton Bartley Alderweireld Ivanovic
ADM Sterling Siggy Rambo Cattermole
Costa Kun Ulloa
*Could probably change Alder & Cattermole to another 5.0 & 4.5 respectively
Thoughts?
Thanks!Bartley isn't nailed on.
Heard Amat was injured, he could probably replace him. He's only 5th option for defense anyway.
Thanks for the feedback!
I don't like Bartley or Cattermole (card magnet). City's (Foxes) fixtures perk up after week 6, so I'd suggest Moore and Boyd. The cash released should be useful.
Thanks for the feedback!

Any transfers needed for me guys?
Hehe
You need to link your "View gameweek history" page
looks good π
Link your team π
Two questions:
1. Who would you play out of Cahill and Coloccini?
2. Who would you cap out of Rooney and Adebayor?Cahill and Rooney
1. Colo
2. RooneyColo has better fixture on paper but Newcastle suck at the moment and it's always tough to bench a Che defender.
Cahill, and toss a coin for the (c)
