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 Southampton’s new strikers and also analyse a number of favourably priced midfielders from Spurs, Everton and Burnley over the season so far.
Go with your gut
Who's the armband with on your team?
Tossing up between Rooney, Eriksen and even another Mario punt
no WC? yay! 😀
I may buckle at the last minute. But for now staying strong!
GL w/o Rooney in that decision.
go for shrek
You going with him too?
don't even have him 😀
I would though if I did have him...
Top scoring FPL player
GW 1 Chester 15 pts
GW 2 Chadli 15 pts
GW 3 Dyer 16 pts
GW 4 Diego Costa 17 pts
GW 5 Eriksen? 18 pts? 😉
Rooney
Emnes? 😉
Wayne. 😉
'Eskey
And if you really want to follow that order, Emmanuel Adebayor! 😆
nice one 😀
Chadli again.
Krul
Caulker / Clyne / Wisdom
Ramsey / Mata / Sterling / Fabregas / Siggy
Rooney (c) / Costa
(Elliot / Bojan / Chester / Kelly)
1 FT & 0.5m itb
Looking to save FT...
play Chester over wisdom..
Same with my team, and i have Naismith, so with him, which one to bench?Chester may have lost his starting place at Hull...
Drop Ramsey for Naismith if you're feeling brave
i'd do one of wisdom/chester/kelly to duff
there's a chance wisdom will lost his place to gamboa, and you'll end this gw with just two defenders
Rp
1. Cahill and Naisy > Moreno and pelle/Welbeck/Valencia/jelly/Hernandez (-4)
2. Haz and Ballo > Fab and Aguero (-4)
3. Haz > Sanchez/Yaya/Di Maria/ Fabregas
and also
a) Balotelli or b) Aguero (-4)
I don't like any of those transfers. Maybe just Cahill-->Someone?
ACheers arv - Moreno then?
Man Utd fans, how do you rate Blackett? Is he a good fantasy pick or just a temporarily option?
Jones is out, only competition is Smalling. I rate him above Smalling and I think LVG does too. Should be safe in a 4 at the back formation and a 3 at the back formation.
Once Jones is back, he wil no longer have a place in the starting XI, IMO.In other words, he's only a short term option. Thanks!
😆 , yes.
LVG said after QPR he only played due to injuries to Smalling and Jones..
Cheers Hooper
ask MRU 😉
lol
Haha 😉
any thoughts about midpriced midfielder to play alongside Siggy, Sterling, Ramsey?
Tadic?
Chadders
Mirallas
Tadic or mirallas
Fabregas the best option, not kindly priced though. Tadic is decent in that bracket
IMO Chadli is just as good as any midfielder up to 8M, but is quite cheaper than the favourites like Mirallas/Tadic.
So him.
Do we think Chambers will get a run in the ARS side now?
Yeap.
yeah he is nailed on now imo 🙂
How did Bellerín play last night?
ARS def was awful, so presumably he wasn't great
Cheers. Chambers should be straight back in then.
average...caught out of position high up the pitch, made some loose passes in dangerous positions and was outmuscled by grosskreutz
talented player, but inexpierenced at the top level...Thanks AR
with that Dortmund result, surely chambers nailed at RB position this gw 😀
I wont say 100%. Bellerin is the guy. Just think Wenger may give the boy some experience against the weaker teams, as we may need him anytime this season, being short at the back
cant see it - chambers is much more able defensively, and that is what we need...chambers had tonsillitis, but should be fine for the weekend...
Folks,
Wich pair would you suggest for upcoming gameweeks?
1) Agüero and Sterling ( with 0 in the bank)
2) Balotelli and Di María (with 1.1 in the bank)
3) Ronney and Sánchez (with 0.1 in the bank)
Thank you!
1. I'd be concerned about game time for both, with Champions League, and injury records
2. I don't rate Balotelli
3. Sanchez looks good, but like Hazard not picking up FF points.
I prefer option 3 though.
Have a captain problem this week! Should i go ADM who I have given the armband to for the moment or should Sterling, Aguero or Costa get the captaincy?
ADM
I just hit the button.... :Shock:
😳 😯
WC button?
login button?
Got me. Things are moving too slowly around here... 😳
😯
The Cancel transfer button? 😉
* buffon? 😯
Jensen Button?
Benjamin Button
Who to play this week;
Clyne (Swansea Away)
or PVA (Burnley Away)
I'm thinking PVA has a better chance of a clean sheet, while both have equal attacking threatI'm playing both, but would probably pick Clyne first
Who else do you have in defense?
My back 5 is - Moreno, Caulker, PVA (Clyne and Moore)Quite shit 😆
PvA - Caulker - Colo (Chester, Kelly)Thought you said you were playing both Clyne, and PVA?
Sorry, it's Clyne not Caulker
clyne. considering that he's in form
Soton have a better defence, Sunderland have a weaker opponent.
Toss a coin.Probably best, maybe I'll just drop Hazard and play 4 at the back!
Clyne I reckon
I have limited my transfer options down to this. What would you do? 2FT
A. Dzeko, Cahill --> Pelle, Baines(c)
B. Dzeko --> Pelle and have 2 FT next week
C. Dzeko --> Adebayor(c) and have 2FT next week
I like A, but I'm a sucker for Baines sometimes. You know NBNC though, right?
Hmm no?
Ah not bench not captain. Dont agree though
Which DEF to bring in?
A. Chambers
B. Duff
C. Wilson
Cheap and cheerful
ThxB for me
Thx
Ramsey -> Di Maria (-4) would you do it?
God no
This
never
no
No
Cheers everyone 😀
No. For free next week though
Hi everyone, am I right to save the transfer?
Lloris (WBA)
Moreno (whu) | Baines (CRY) | Pieters (qpr)
Siggy (SOT) | Sterling (whu) | Tadic (swa) DiMaria(c) (lei)
Balotelli (whu) | Welbeck (avl) | Costa (mci)
SUBS: McCarthy ||| NTaylor (SOT) | Clyne (swa) | Boyd (SUN)
Good team. Save.
i'd play clyne over pieters and (C) on costa
Taking a lot of risks this week.
No Sterling
Benching Fabregas
Keeping Mata
Playing Siggy vs Clyne
Lamela(c)
This won't end well I'm afraid.
Thanks.I like all of it. Unsure about Lamela(c) though.
wish I was H>H with y'all.
I bet you wont go with all of these come Saturday!
Meh - can't have them all.
For?
Wise
No reason not to
WTFCurrent front 8: Rooney Costa, Mata, Lamela, Ramsey, Sigurdsson and Fabregas, so imo, Fab is the most likely benching option. Your thoughts?
You playing 4 at the back?
Sorry, forgot about Naismith.
Naismith over Fab-- in the name of football pull your head out.
Don't bench Fabregas.
If you don't want him I'll have him!
Bench Lamela if anyone - but there is only 7 players there, who is the 3rd striker?Can't bench Lamela--he's on the band.
I'd like to have this team--nice job there. Only one to go is Lamela.Can we coin the term "unbenchable"? As in Fabregas and his impending 30+ assists?
Am I replying to my own replies. Eden you got me all jacked there. I wish you luck, and Fab only gets 20+ excuse the hyperbole.
I would prefer to bench Mata. Rooney is captain of MU, Falcao is over his "jetlag" and RvP is dutch like van gaal. Mata might not play, perhaps 45 mins.
MU is so dicey if they start Falco does that bench Mata, have him and DiMari, but can't sift it out over there. Get rid of Mata after Sun.? Thx for any opinions.
1. If you're lucky he's benched again (pfft)
2. City away so could make sense, though you're starting XI should be great in order to bench him.
3. Wouldn't say that's taking a risk
4. I think most are doing this
5. Not a bad option, Spurs will probably trash WBACheers. Front 8 listed above. Forgot to.mention Naismith. Thoughts?
Not bad! Like Naismith
abort because of A+B+C (actually not so bad there). E is nuts too.
I'd rather capt. Fabregas. He's an 8pt. machine, players like him, shouldn't be an opponent concern ever.
So if Amat is out for six weeks does that make Bartley at 3.9 first choice or have they bought someone I missed? Could be a steal if this is correct
Fernandez will start
And he will be 100% nailed on.
Federico Fernandez will step in I think
Swansea vs Soton ??
What do you think will be the result?1-2
maybe one of 1-1 / 2-2 / 1-2
can't see any clean sheet on this gameYou just told me to pick Clyne over PVA 🙂
For his attacking threat of course.
PVA will concede too i thinkFair enough,
Burnley do look dangerous on the back of two 0-0 draws
0-0
2-0
0-0
2-3
Has the look of a 0-0, 1-1 about it.
Big difference in FPL terms!
Yep, hard to call hence a draw.
3-2
1-2
1-0
I cant see a cleansheet.maybe 2-1 either way.x
Thoughts on Bony?
Slow start and Gomis knocking on the door.
Have held onto him so far, but wavering.Boot. Gomis is taking his points.
Sell.
i'd prefer pelle
bony gametime so far (76 63 75 15)
compare to pelle (90 90 90 90)
pelle has form, fixture, game time and 0.9m cheaper over bony
i'll do dzeko to pelle later
Urrgh.... from the Gargatron
Total captain score 32
Captain score if you had swapped all C / VC 48
Captain score as % of overall score 11.72%
Highest possible captain score 110
78 pts dropped from poor captain choices.Wonder what rank you'd be if you hit the right captain choices?
Gargatron says i'm 34pt behind first place. Doesn't tell you how much higher that person could have been though.
OK, so Debuchy is staring at me from the heart of my defence....
Do I switch to Chambers or downgrade to Moore to free up cash to upgrade mid/forwards. Krul and Henderson going soon too.
Bego/Krul
Terry/Debuchy/Duff/Wisdom/Hutton
Fab/Ramsey/Siggy/Henderson/Sterling
Rooney/Costa/Naismith
Any help appreciated..Isn't Chambers a risk as well, with Wenger talking up Bellerin?
Yep, my thinking exactly. I fancy CHEEP
Debuchy->Bert
Hendo->Boyd
Naismith->Pelle.
Start with Debuchy this week, the other two trades next week.Nice ideas, ta. I have 1.5m in my back bin too, Boyd was in my thinking for Hendo and was thinking poss Clyne for Debuchy but Bert is a good shout, ta.
😛
Who are you captaining this week?
Form or Fixture?Fixture - Falcao
Currently on form Costa. Chat on here is swaying me to fixture Rooney but trying to stay strong
Wazza
Fixture over form for you?
Yes.
If you say form means Costa then hell no.
City will have Yaya toure back and we saw what Fernandihno did against Arsenal. Yaya and Fernandihno in midfield looks too strong.Form obviously means Costa!
I am tending to agree with what you are saying though. Rooney for me I think.
fixture
Both if you consider Ade in form
Sort of, yeah. Probably a good choice then.
Rooney's got both.
(although not so much form if you compare to Costa.He's got a bit of form. Costa is clearly the "form choice" though. If they both had a similar difficulty fixture you would go Costa.
Both,Rooney
Ziggy
Hmm, doesn't that go against your 0-0 or 1-1 prediction?
😆
Jack Off! Feck. 😡
He actually could be a punty choice. Anything swans do are likely to come off him, and they have been scoring goals lately
My thinking too.
Rooney for me. A bit nervous because I think Leicester will be more of a Burnley than a QPR.
Ade (c) if feeling punty
Currently have Ade Costa Dzeko - but considering Dzeko -> Rooney or Pelle , Rooney (c) evenRooney atm.
Do we think Chester has lost his place?
No, if Bruce plays 3-5-2
I think I will give it one more game to confirm.
Not if Bruce reverts back to 3 at the back.
Krul ellliot
Wilson pva taylor chester hutton
Dimaria sterling ramsey fabregas marney
Rooney costa pelle
0ft 0itb
Good to go or worth a 4point hit to lose chester?x
hOLD
Ta.x
Somehow I feel Bellerin will get the nod at RB for us next week. The boy is class and lacks experience. We are short at the back, and he needs to play a part this season. Wenger might just risk him against the weaker teams to gain his confidence.
May be wrong though. Difficult to gauge a man as Wenger!You don't rotate full backs in the league. Never. 1 out of the two will start and will be nailed. Seems Chambers.
Maybe in the league Bellerin will get his chance.*Maybe in the league cup Bellerin will get his chance.
Kolarov/Clichy say hi
*You don't rotate full backs in the league. Never.*
Kolarov n Clichy says hi! 😉That is an exception
Don't compare Kolarov and Clichy with Chambers/Bellerin
The only difference between the pair would be the vast experience due to the age. Chambers/Bellerin are a promising pair.
There isn't a hard and fast rule. Chambers is needed against Chelsea, but Hector could provide his raw pace against the stubborn Villa defence.
Completely my opinion though
he wont play ahead of Chambers - that is for sure
will play the capitol one cup game against soton in the midweek, so that should help him... 🙂
He might play ahead of Chambers if Wenger is sensible. Chambers is our only back up at CB (apart from Monreal :/) so he might want to keep him safe on the bench.
You don't spend 16 million on a player and let him sit on the bench. Chambers has played well whenever given the chance, he's strong and actually stays in position.
Any good sites for price changes? Total fpl is not accurate anymore.
none are atm
No-one knows ... quite literally!
2.7 and 1 FT
Should i do Chester - Duff ?
Chester got dropped last game right ?
Begovic
PVA Clyne Chester
Hazard Ramsay Eriksen Siggy
Costa Rooney Naismith
-------------------------------------------
Gilks Henderson Ward MooreI'd take a hit to do RAmsey-->ADM....shame I don't have enough cash.
😯
Good job. Rubbish trade for someone who has very little goal potential imo.
Think his goal potential will increase over the weeks....he's pretty much United's only pacey attacking outlet, ATM.
Why's that? You really rate ADM that much higher than Ramsey?
Coming from someone who has had Ramsey any time he's fit over the past 18 months he looks pretty terrible at the moment. His points in FPL have been down to luck so far.
I'm switching Ramsey this week.I sold Ramsey for Sterling last week to afford Aguero, but I kind of regretted it when Sterling was benched and Rams got an assist 😡
You won't regret over the next few matches I reckon
Lads, I used my WC after GW4 and made this team:
Forster / Given
Taylor / Clyne / Duff (sub: Hutton, Moore)
Chadli / Wilshere / Di Maria (C) / Sterling (Schneiderlin)
Aguero / Costa / Lukaku
As Wilshere is doubtful - what would you do, just pick Schneiderlin to the starting team or change him ?
General RTM would be great as well!
DiMaria on captain as Chelsea-City might be low goals.Some fairly bizarre choices it has to be said. That mid park has some serious issues.
Could you open thought ? 🙂 Wilshere to be changed ?
Wiltshire, Scneiderlin, Angel of Mancs are not ff options. Chadli, I suspect is something of a false dawn.
I'd have Fabs, Ramsay, Ziggy and a uber like Boyd in there el prompto.
Wilshere + Di Maria looks a bit knee jerky to me. I'd swap DM for Fabregas and perhaps change Wilshere for Siggy.
I changed Wilhere to Siggy but do believe DM will keep the form for long + dont have any other MU player...
Would no-one consider Siggy given his form ... has only blanked once and playing at home?
I feel a big haul coming on again, despite all the Soton love!See above.
Ha ... brilliant! If they can score at Stamford Bridge they can put a few past Soton at home you'd expect. I have a funny feeling Dyer will go a little silly too!
His form has dropped off - and he is being asked to play out left by Monk.
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/1373/
9 years, 9 months agoCosta's getting a lot of love on the captain poll, but is he really the best choice for this week? My gut says Rooney.
