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.
-
So much for Oblak being injured... 😡
No keeper to bring on tomorrow...
53pts with Messi, J.Martinez & Fabregas to play...-
Is Oblak injured? His inclusion cost me the Tevez points as I had to do moya>Oblak and Tevez>Llorente :/
-
Nah he played, I was told he was out for a few months and never checked it myself...
Played Moya on good faith... not anymore...
-
-
-
Is Hendo, Sterling and Balo too much for WHU ?
-
if they play like they did this evening and against villa then yes. If they play like they did against Spurs then seems reaosnable
-
-
Debuchy & Mata > Berty & Di Maria for Free?
-
Do it
-
-
Are people with cr7 (c) twisting to messi?
-
Nah I'm happy with 18pts...
-
I was happy but then I looked at the fixture, it's there best one! Not so much I'm not happy, just concerned others may (c) messi for a Hat trick or summat.
-
I usually stick around 9-10pts... Messi needs two goals to beat it... I'm not risking it personally...
-
Yeah u r talking sense. It's a nice score without been exceptional is the problem. Perhaps should stick and aim for solid first week.
-
-
-
-
May as well. It's only UCL.
-
I take all my fantasy v seriously lol
-
😀
Well personally I'm not hesitating to switch. In my mind Messi is guaranteed at least a goal. But won't be surprising if he scores 5.
-
-
This
-
-
yep
-
Ibra maybe...
-
-
Thoughts on this lot?
Elliot ■ Krul
Moore ■ Debuchy ■ Ferdinand ■ Clyne ■ Chester
Hazard ■ Ramsey ■ Sterling ■ Albrighton ■ Sigurdsson
Rooney ■ Dzeko ■ Diego Costa
1 FT, £0.2m in the bank.
Sell Dzeko & Debuchy for a hit?
Thanks in advance. 😀-
■ is a rotation risk, change him to ☻
-
Hahaha nobody takes tm seriously loool
-
lol
-
-
dzeko > ade
-
Him or Pelle seems the idea atm.
-
Tbh Debuchy, Ferdinand, Chester worries me more. Get a credible third Def before tinkering with the forwards.
-
You are probably right. Can't afford differential forwards scoring little also.
-
Now that I see Albrighton, think a -4 is in order. Get a safe third defender, say Naylor, then drop Dzeko for Pelle/Welbeck. Or even Albrighton -> Zaha.
-
-
-
-
-
V similar to mine. Been hovering over wc.
-
How many changes would you make outside defence to your side though?
-
2 and entire defence.
-
Might copy you next week then 🙂
-
-
-
-
dzeko to ade/welbz (welbz might allows for Rooney>Aguero imo)
no need for a hit imo.-
When do I get rid of Debuchy? Not sure on Ade long term over Pelle/Welbeck.
Guess I could get Duff for Deb if funds are an issue.-
What was the score for LMS this week?
-
38 is safe. Plenty of hits dropped it a bit.
-
-
You can get rid Debuchy for free next week, i'll admit it's slow but it saves points.
I'd go Welbeck - they wont plat Dortmund away every week and will get plenty of chances and is seriously cheap.-
Cheers. Will see if Adebayor gets rested on Thursday.
-
-
-
-
-
Thursday Feyenoord are finally back in Europe after a 6 year absence. 🙂 🙂
I'm so excited!-
Imagine how I'll feel if leeds ever make it back!
-
-
Krul elliot
Rio chester taylor pva hutton
Mata sterling fab ramsey marney
Costa rooney dzeko
2fts 0 itb
Dzeko to pelle
Worth doing mata to dimaria for security of starts?x-
hold mata if anyone will be dropping out of the united line up it will be rvp x
-
On form yes.on favoritism.im not sure,not sure if its worth the hassle?x
-
-
yes - I think they're good moves
-
-
Ivan surely can't keep those stats up. Ridiculous. I've for gone for Baines this week instead....hope it's justified but fear it won't be.
-
Ivan's stats are phenomenal. Right up there with the best forwards and midfielders, then there is the clean sheet potential as well.
-
Yeah it's scary....might be shuffling Baines straight back out if Ivan does something I'm next couple games.
-
It's why I sold Mata.
-
-
Unfortunately now much clean sheet potential at the moment, but I'm still holding for the moment.
-
The annoying thing is Ivan's outrageous attacking-mindedness is probably a big contributing factor into Chelsea defence being surprisingly porous.
Very annoying for Terry/Cahill/Azpi/Courtois owners :angry:-
😡
that's more like it
-
-
-
-
Ospina should get a start over Szczęsny at the weekend.
-
should get a start over that tube every weekend
-
-
Debuchy on 91% and red flagged, will he fall?
Basically are Fiso over-estimating or under-estimating fallers?-
he was nearly at 100 on saturday.. they then readjusted for the flag and brought him down to 60 or so.. so ud have to assume they've adjusted for the flag. still very unreliable but i'd say it'll be a fall tomorrow at the latest
-
cheers
-
-
-
Jelavic to wellbz for a hit?
-
😯
-
out of the frying pan and into the fire
-
I'm guessing you never watched Arsenal tonight 😀
-
all about Ulloa
-
I have 7.2. Don't want jelly stinking up my team 🙁
-
-
Sorry for the re-post guys, didn't get any replies the first time around.
I was considering a newer/more adventurous strategy this time in FPL since the prices aren't fluctuating all that much and it's easier to buy back players. Essentially I would look for more short term payoffs (within 1 or 2 GW).
Having said that, I'm thinking of taking a -4 hit for : Chester + Ramsey -> Baines + Chadli
Fixtures look great and B+C stats look strong. This will mostly be a 1 week punt, looking to have Sanchez/Ramsey/Welbeck back in the team for the goalfest that is the North London Derby.
The downside is that selling Ramsey is dangerous, but I don't think he's the most explosive player, and AVL seem pretty tight at the back.-
* by Fixtures look great I mean this week's fixtures for Baines and Chadli specifically, not over the next few GWs for either.
-
I'm thinking along the same lines but about fabregas>Baines (with wisdom and Boyd the makeweights)
-
Fabregas > Baines? are you serious? Fab is a MUST have IMO
-
-
-
Schneiderlin Scout article coming out tomorrow compete wit heat and positioning charts.
-
Let me guess...his form isn't sustainable?
-
Excellent news. I'm torn between him and Dyer....
-
great news...I already have him in my team so really want to see this stuff...
-
-
Anyone got any idea if Bertrand is gonna rise tonight?
-
If anyone tells you they do, they're just guessing. Price sites are broken
-
Fiso isn't broken. Is it?
He's not rising though.
-
-
Think it's confident to say no.
-
-
People's opinions on Blackett? LVG seems To have faith in him
-
Get de gea.
-
He's playing because of injuries.
-
True. Didn't think of that!
-
How far off is Jones?
I reckon Tyler's ahead of Evans and Smalling in the pecking order now though,-
It's something to watch!
-
Near the end of September was the last date i think. Tyler's done okay, better than Evans infact and may well be good for another gameweek or two. When Jones comes back though, it's time to get rid. I don't think LVG would drop Evans before Tyler tbh, and with Shaw eventually going to LB, it'll be a headache if people keep him. Rojo, Evans, Jones, Blackett and Smalling for two spots
-
Rojo is always gonna have a spot surely. Being a new signing...
-
Rafa and Tony flop at RB like they've been doing for last couple seasons, Jones/Smalling stuck out there. Shaw won't lay off the cake so that's Rojo on the left. And Jonny is just .... Jonny. Blackett nailed for the season 😀
If only

-
Anyone done their ACL and not have surgery?
-
Did anyone else have problems today with the UCL site? I suggest letting this guy know what you think of the poor service.

I had a similar conversation with him this time last season and he's continued to bury his head in the sand.-
Anorak went on a bit of a rant there 🙂 .. nice
-
lol awesome
-
-
find out where he lives
-
Good work lads 🙂
Gave up with it last year after a couple of seasons playing. Such a hassle -
I picked my team a few hours before and went to bed, unfortunately doing that meant I wasn't around for lineups, so I'm left with Moya's 0pts staring at me with no sub keeper... 🙁
-
I would have preferred that situation. Would have got me 3 Roberto points and kept me from getting rid of Tevez 🙁
-
Unlucky mate...
-
-
-
You made a valid point about the site being so graphically heavy. Even when the site is running as smooth as its supposed to, my computer struggles to load the site. Whoever is in charge of www accessibility wants sacking.
-
-
Toying with pressing WC button, and just worked out I can do this team (3-5-2). I like the attack, but is it too unbalanced?
Heaton (Gilks)
Clyne, Chambers, Naylor, Duff, Moore
Siggy, Ramsey, Fab, ADM, Sterling
Aguero, Costa (Zamora)
(0.0 in bank)-
seems balanced enough. Don't know if i'd go for chambers, but he could be a steal
-
-
Terry > Bertrand or Baines. Only 1FT
-
Swansea are a tough team.. cant see a CS for Soton this week tbh. Baines on the other hand... however you gotta think long term and where you'll use that cash etc
-
Cheers. Yeah it's either keep Rooney long term with Baines or have kun and Bertrand.
-
-
-
@ Think Tank
Good spot on the 'inspirations' typo on my work. Cheers man, fresh eyes always notice things 🙂 -
Am I crazy to want to wild card and have costa, adebayor and lukaku up front?
-
No. There is more to a team than 3 forwards.
-
not at all
-
Yes.
Need one of Agüero/Rooney IMO.-
Not convinced wiv Rooney and aguero will be Injured soon
-
-
rooney/aguero over lukaku
-
-
My defence:
Begovic
Jones Clyne Naylor PVA Wisdom
Jones ->
A) Rojo
B) Duff//Burnley Def
C) Anyone else?-
Is Duff nailed on??!!
-
-
Only had Moreno and CR7 (C) so i'm pretty pleased. Stick with Ronaldo (C)?
-
You only had two players on your team from all the games today?
-
Nevermind, I skipped over Calhanoglu's name by mistake :/ and i've already subbed out Moya
-
Ah okay. Just was read that and thought how in the hell hah 😀
-
-
-
-
what are the %age chances of this couple starting at the weekend ?
a) Falcao
b) Mane
all opinions appreciated-
50%
10%-
why so low on Mane Sess ?
-
They just won 4-0. Koeman has no reason to instantly change it and would be ultra harsh on whoever he left out. 30 mins off bench for mane I reckon.
-
-
-
I think less than 50% for both. Would be hard for Koeman to drop anyone from a team that won 4-0, and Mane wasn't on the bench either. May be a subs role for him.
Falcao didn't play because of Jet Lag, but seems that LVG may just give him another outing off the bench, i can see him starting after Leicester though.-
ok. cheers guys, so dont make the mistake of hoping Falcao will start then.
-
-
-
Bartley likely to get a run for the next few weeks?
-
no
-
No they signed a centre back from Napoli who will come in.
-
-
Welbeck or Pelle? Consider the Dortmund game as an aberration before evaluating.
-
I'm also wondering how much of this weekend was about the quality of Pelle vs the incompetence of Newcastle.
-
Pelle.......form, fixtures and can actually finish.
-
Do you think he'll score vs swans or can I wait another week for him?
-
-
pelle, don't get the love for Welbeck at all.
-
-
Need to get rid of Chester. Want Naylor, and no wiggle room on the budget.
Any prospect of him rising tonight, or am I safe to wait until after tomorrow's games?-
I doubt he'll rise. What do FISO say?
-
FISO says so, 113%, but I have no idea what that actually means these days.
-
Then maybe it could happen, but who knows how accurate they are.
-
-
Neither Swansea nor Hull have European commitments so what's the difference in waiting?
-
Injury in training.
-
If he rises, I can;t afford him.
-
-
-
Who to captain Adebayor or Rooney?
-
Both look like good options.
I'm captaining Rooney. I'd probably captain Ade if I had him.-
Ye it's a tricky one, also considering Di mario.
-
-
I've got Ade at the moment.
-
As an extension of this question, Rooney or Eriksen for captain?
-
Rooney better odds of scoring I would think.
-
-
-
Ronaldo(c) and Moreno 24 pts
6 others - 12 points.
What a fail.
Need Martinez, hazard and Ivan to come good tomorrow.-
Good luck, mate!
-
I changed my (C) from CR7 to Messi. Gotta gamble! haha
-
-
Wilshere injured now too. Why always Arsenal
-
serious?
-
Doesn't say how bad yet http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsene-wenger-condemns-below-par-arsenal-4272482
