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.
Hi all. On wildcard.
How does this look
Bego (hamer)
(Moore )Clyne Evans duff (Hutton)
Sterling fab Ramsey siggy mata
Rooney costa naismith
Gonna go 3 5 2 . Zero in bank
Thoughts welcome.
Naismith is too expensive to be benching most GWs
No he's not
At 5m he's one of the cheapest possible nailed on strikers
Looks good but would try and get Di Mario in there some how, I swapped Ramsey for him may be fool hardy but so far so good.
Which defender should I get to replace Jones?
Got £6.1m in the bank to spend.
Cheapo Leicester/ Burnley and use money elsewhere
Would you wildcard from
Degay, Myhill
Wilson, Duff, Colo, Caulker, Chambers
Mata, Siggy, Sterling, Fabs, Ramsey
costa, Rooney, Naismith
To
Degay, 4.0
PVA, Moore, Duff, Chambers/!wilson, 4.3
Siggy, Fabs, Di Maria, Arfield, Ramsey
Aguero, Costa, Pelle?
Shall i just turn off my ipad?!
No way should you WC. A lot of sideway/vanity transfers. The WC is worth far more than that! Thank me around approx. GW30 when you can max out for the inevitable back to back DGWs 😉
Ha OK. Thanks for the sanity check. How about going the other way and save tranny this week with 4 pointer the next Mata, Rooney, Sterling out for Aguero, di maria, Hendo in?
What does Nigel Pearson do on his laptop during Leicester games? What could be so important?
I'd leave it this week tbh
What?
FM2013
netflix
Really need to no,is it worth doing mata to adm for free.have no wiggle room on price.first to 5.x
Yes do it. Long term it's a good move
Of the two, ADM definitely.
I'd leave it this week tbh
Wait til next GW
mata will outscore adm x
Just done that meself
If you were wildcarding right now, which GK would you go with?
Asking for a friend.
2 burnley chaps or heaton and mannone
Forster McCarthy
Alternatively Begovic over Forster
This
Forster.
forster
Those saying Forster, happy to double up on Southampton's defense?
I don't dislike the idea, I'll say that. Their fixtures make it a sensible move.Don't think I trust the Soton defence THAT much, not yet at least
DEBOOOOSH out tonight for sure, but who is the best option to reach him?
Hazard > Di Maria worth doing?
i just did ramsey to di maria so yeah
I would stick with hazard
Now is as good a time as any to sell Hazard. Don't blame me if Hazard gets 11pts.
I did this.
I do not have Fabregas though
3 out of these 5 for this GW.
Terry (MCI)
Clyne (SWA)
Caulker (STK)
PvA (BUR)
Coloccini (HUL)
Krul is in goal.caulker clyne terry
Hmm what I'm doing atm. I have a feeling about PVA though.
could well get a cleanie too
PvA, Clyne, Terry.
Which two defenders should I bench this GW?
Lovren (wha), Naylor (SOU), Coloccini (HUL), PVA (bur), Duff (SUN)lovren and colo
If you're going to bench your most expensive defender and play that rabble instead, then you need to think about selling him.
Best way to go this week? 1 FT and £0.7m in bank.
Begovic - McCarthy
Clyne - Azpil - Pieters - PVA - N Taylor
Di Maria - Fabregas - Siggy - Sterling - Zaha
Naismith - Costa - BaloSave it this week
Really? Even with Swansea v Saints? Chelsea v City? More worried defensively
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?only other concern is hazard....
That looks good. Or Cahill to baines?
GW5 captain?
Rooney for me.adebarndoor
This is me embarrassed :red:
:embarrassed:
:blush:
:redface:
:rolleyes:
:help!!!!!!:
:laughoutloud:
Thanks 😆
:towliecomment:
😆
:feckit:
: oops :
without the spaces...
for all non Costa captainers, who are you giving the armband to this week?
ade
Naismith
ballsy, I have him myself but dont think my nads are big enuff
Can't understand costa away at city leading the pole. We haven't seen if he's fixture proof yet.
7 goals in 4 games.. he's not exactly a bad option
this is the very man I'm thinking about. Got Falcao in too early and I really need to look at a 1 week change I think
id be confident of falcao starting against leicester.. then 2 home games on the bounce after u dont wanna be selling him.. ok u bought him early but suck it up and keep hold over the next few games he will likely score very heavily mate
Cheers dude, after his 2 points (c) at the weekend its a tough one to just sit with him and hope that he does something.
Roonpig
siggy!
Might just go Rooney again. Adebayor also an option.
Rooney.
The poll is up on the homepage.i know where the poll is, it doesnt talk to you does it ?
It does.
naw, it doesna. do one and stop being a numpty
This is the thanks I get for being helpful. 🙁
your not being helpful at all. you know fine well I know where the Captain poll is, if thats all I needed to know I would just look there and be done with it. I wanted to hear from people I know in here to see who they chose not just a poll made up from anonymous users
I was letting you know it was up incase you didn't know it was up yet as I'm nice like that. It's not always up.
ok, i knew, I had checked before I came here, I always do, it doesn't even have Naismith (who I considered) as an option so I wanted to ask to see if anyone else was considering him. I thought you were trying to be a smartass.
He was.
You will need to get kevin bridges to translate that sentence
ade
Thanks for the replies all
Keeper for this week Krul or Mannone?
mannone
Cheers, seems weird not using a keeper with a home game against Hull but Ncastle are s###e
thats it mate and i have him unfortunately he's all i have
Krul, and pray.
Hahaha
my plan exactly
Reluctantly yes. I have both
So who to play between bertand and N.Taylor and Duff and Moore
Already going duff,Need another 2And i got wilson
play bertrand and n taylor and hope for an unlikely 0-0 . Amat is out for a few weeks so that might unsettle the swans defence.
I'd go Bertrand Duff Wilson
N Taylor very close behind WilsonI got begovic so double on stoke or go for N.Taylor?
Yeah in that case I'd go Taylor
And Thanks for the response.
I am mulling over this move:
Sterling out (despite fixtures and liverpool look awful - not only that he has the danger of "rested" hanging over him
Chadli in (in form has ok fixtures west brom next but arsenal and man city amongst them.
Should I hold fire or wait for two weeks?
Thanks in advance.How much rest does Sterling need the lazy git.
Hold fire.That really annoyed me that he was rested not even from an fpl point of view just from common sense.
Villa hard to break down so need sterlings pace. As for the CL liverpool are probably going to qualify from their group unless they have a disaster. I didn't get the logic.
Could be worse. You could have captained him like I did.
I dont even want to log into my fpl page so that i don't have to see it hahaOh I jammied my captain choice. Changed it with 10 mins to go from sterling.
Sterling does not look the same player without Saurez/Sturridge around him to me.Im keeping though, i think he will score well anyway. Good fixtures and sturridge isn't out that long
If you think he'll be rested regularly, then by all means sell. My hope is that BR will have learned his lesson and not drop him again. I think two subpar games is too small a sample to say Liverpool are awful.
It's when BR starts over analyzing it and talking about things like "the project" that I feel worried owning Sterling. Plus as someone else pointed out Markovic is suspended for Europe so this is the reason he was picked instead of sterling. I am not sure how long the suspension lasts though.
Liverpool were described by Gerard in the CL today as "could do better". Plus he normally talks them up!
I have no clue how they will perform v west ham who are open but very attacking.The problem is its only a couple games into the season and he already needs to be rested? We're midwaythrough September!
Exactly! I wouldn't mind if it was the busy Christmas period or a do or die CL game next but to rest your best attacking in form threat only 4 games in is mental to me.
After Thursday sterling will be out forever
Ozil is such an average player!
The guy is world class, just lost his mojo. Let's hope it isn't chronic like Torres
Judging by your history, so are you.
at least nobody gives me 200k a week to perform
Same here. But I also know why.
The new Arshavin?
if that's the case then am buying him for the liverpool game
Guys should I change something into this team?
DDG
Lovren-Wilson-Kaboul
DiMaria(VC)-Fabregas-Sterling-Siggy
Naismith-Costa-Rooney(C)
sub: Schmeichel,Schneiderlin,Clyne and Taylor
1FT no money inb....ThanksNothing needed. Very strong bench.
thank you...
Duff (Burnley) nailed on?
Does M. Keane pose a threat??the only reason why I got shackel instead of him. If you have Duff keep him until he gets dropped.
Looking good for this week I think...?
Bego
Baines. Duff. Moreno
Siggy. Sterling. Lamela. DiMaria
Naismith. Costa. AgueroI've seen worse.
Aguero injury tomorrow night?
Don't!!
Wenger: "....and that was the paradox of the night."
Crikey, he speaks better English than I do 😯Ah but I bet you have better eyesight then him...."I did not see it" etc 🙂
iTeam trannys for tomorrow's CL games, choose one from each please!
A) Ibrahimovic (Ajax away)
B) Lewandowski (City home)
C) Diego Costa (Schalke home)
--------------------------------------------------
A) Hazard (SCH)
B) Robben (MNC) - [subject to confirmation that he will be play]
C)Iniesta/Rakitic (APO)Real to win, Ronaldo anytime. Check
Juve to win, Tevez anytime. Check
Liverpool to win. Balotelli anytime. Check
Dortmund v Arsenal draw. Feck!
how much would you have won?
Not sure...
4/11
5/6
8/13
13/5
£3.50 on 😆Fractional odds FTL
Decimal odds FTW
Why anyone prefers the former over the latter is beyond me; it's far easier to immediately see what odds are bigger/smaller when in decimal formagreed - But I think it is because people like the sound of the fractions or something!
Only £50 actually
Really bad. So bad that I can't describe how appallingly bad that bet was.
£50.88
🙁
There's always one. Unlucky
A couple years ago i lost a big multiple to an injury time goal in one game. All other results were correct. I still dream about what i could have done with that money
Please tell me you had singles as well...
Nah. Was only about 16/1 overall anyway
Bring on tomorrowChelsea to score 2 or more
Barca to score over 2.5
Messi to score each half
Bayern win and over 2.5
Porto cleanie
...and many more potential winners
Sorry but Arsenal aren't Dortmunds class a home win was the way to go.
soooo, do we know how long Debuchy is out for?
He's out for long enough.
Probably about two weeks
*months
are you just guessing or did he say? I read he was quoted saying it was "bad" and ankle sprains are tricky as is (like 2-3 weeks minimum for a mild one)
Hoping to get this nearer the top of a new page as last one is no man's land...
Good to go for Sat? Cheers.
.Bego
Duff. Moreno. Baines
Siggy. Sterling. Lamela. DiMaria
Naismith. Aguero. CostaUnlucky 😆
Damn its slow here. Good thing usually
Would want Fab in there
Fab to Lamela for a week
Have the money to get right back.
I really fancy us beating Chelsea so having three Chelsea is not for me this week.
Will think more after Bayern!
Looks fine.
Evening lads,
DDG (Myhill)
Cahill, Lovren, Chambers (Vlaar, Dummet)
Cesc, ADM, Sterling, Siggy (Hendo)
Rooney, Costa, Naismith
Any changes needed here, and who would you recommend? cheers!Who are tonight's likely risers/fallers beyond the probable Duff/Ferdinand+caulker changes?
Adm. Siggy. Naismith maybe
Hi guys.
