We delve into the Gameweek 5 data this evening in our first members article of the week. Wayne Rooney’s new role for United comes under analysis, as do Burnley and Leicester’s displays up front, whilst a couple of north London-based frontmen are also placed under the microscope after their contrasting weekend performances.
Haven't seen this been discussed on here lately...
With Sturridge in line to be fit for the Merseyside derby, how is this for a subsequent run of fixtures:
WBA,qpr,HUL,new,CHE,cpl,STO,lei,SUN
I am itching all over the place.
I WANT MORE INFO!!!Same. Can't believe he has gone under the radar
same has liverpooless suarez
The fixtures would help
thinking him over aguero tbh
Lush
Never gets more than a goal a game, too expensive for those returns
-1
Haha..reason? 🙂
just don't think it's true and even if so far too risky to predict
I'll happily pay the price for him knowing that he can easily notch more than once given the fixtures
He could, it's a 50/50 though, I feel there is more value elsewhere
a fall to 11.2 would be handy too
That 1 million in the bank for Rooney to Sturridge next week looks like a match made in heaven
Sterling is enough cover
Remember there will be pleany European teams to slot in there tooPleanty
That's what worries me, but Sturridge should be immune from rotation though. Sterling will be the one in danger because he is young and Rodgers needs to protect him
Can he afford to rest him, am not so sure
As a owner I hope he doesn't
Less alternatives to Sturridge than Sterling.
wait for after the derby
Exactly what I'm doing
I like him but with Sterling on form and Diego Costa(form) & Agüero(fix) occupying my forward line I really can't afford him.
Fair call, I have Baines so can't really afford Aguero
My thoughts exactly.
Broken again by November,nightmare to own ,im out....
How's this WC team
Forster / McCarthy
Baines / clyne / chambers / Moore / wisdom
Fab / siggy / sterling / ADM / Boyd
Aguero / Costa / ulloa
Lovely stuff. Fab/Rambo is a tough choice to make
I just think fab will deliver more regularly, maybe not explosive returns but I can accept that
Very good, Ivan over Baines if you can afford.
0.2 short
10/10. This is the team I want.
Great stuff, 9/10. Duff/Hutton over Wisdom
Not enough funds, to be fair with baines, clyne and chambers nobody will get a look in
Same team as I plan to have GW8 apart from I'll have welbeck over Ulloa and duff instead of clyne. Going without chambers/Baines for next two weeks tho cos of fixtures. Something worth considering.
I will want them in gw8 and I am happy to play wisdom this gw
Fair enough. I must admit an injury or red card is going to scupper my plans so it's a risky strategy.
Is this a good move(next week): hendo,Silva and naismith --> marney, sterling and welbeck?
If so my team will look like this:
Krul Mannone
Clyne Pieters Taylor Wisdom Vlaar
Sterling Fab Ramsey Siggy Marney
Costa Aguero Welbeck
Thoughts!?Like it, Liverpool cover is required
Does anyone think either of Fabregas or Naismith are going to rise or fall tonight?
No.
If Fab doesn't rise tonight he will any day now. Doesn't look like Naismith is dropping tonight but it won't be long.
Dunno, ask their other halves.
Unlikely IMO. Naismith looks like a flop(py)Cheers guys 🙂
well ramsey fall last night so with many more transfers out today i wouldnt be surprised if naismith falls tonight
anyone else tempted to drop siggy???
`yep
Honeymoon period well and truly over
No
Was thinking it and playing Schneider but just brought Pelle in so gunna play him, don't think I need both saints
i put both
Crazy talk. Blanked against Chelsea away and Soton when Swans only had 10 men for half the game.
Trouble is everyone expects him to score every game, which isn't realistic. He's only a 6m mid for feck's sake!
I'm really starting Duff over Lovren this week, aren't I?
I forsee the much maligned MosesWagon starting its engines once again at the weekend...
It only takes one lively performance and goal to lure them in then 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 0
2011/12
/shudder
He won't enter the fantasy land of milk and honey imo....
Have been flirting with my WC for a while now.
Current team:
Foster - (Heaton)
PVA - Clyne - Moreno - (Chester - Wisdom)
Sterling - Hazard - Mirallas - Di Maria - Sigurdsson
Balotelli - Costa - (Naismith)
Potential WC team:
Heaton (Hamer)
Mangala - Clyne - Baines - (Duff - Wisdom)
Downing - Di Maria - Ramsey - Sterling - (Sigurdsson)
Lukaku - Costa - Welbeck
Opinions?Obviously i'm just trying to sway you towards the template but i'd downgrade Downing to a £4.5m and try to squeeze in Agüero.
I genuinely prefer your current team.
Defence is way off the mark IMO. Surely come to bite me on the arse in the future?
5 decent mids seems like a waste of cash when you'll normally play 3-4-3
Just dump Balotelli or Naismith
any particular players you wont own all season except for a dgw maybe? For me I wont own sterling or ADM the ownerships are just too big for me to jump on now. Im sure there will be a few guys who wont get Costa all season if they don't have him already.
Bojan 😉
I don't understand this, there are 33 weeks to go.
Though I will never buy Yaya.
Probably Naismith. High ownership now, missed the boat early on, Europa league starting with Everton looking like they'll go deep in it and not completely nailed on.
Anderson.
Be careful, I didn't bring in either Ramsey or yaya last year and their high ownership coat me a really good rank
West Ham
(Sorry Doos)Nobody as such, going to get Fabregas in this week even though his ownership is almost touching 50%!
A lot of players aren't good for fantasy football.
Zabaleta- can't see him in my side.Nonsense talk. You need them to keep up with the Joneses. You have many other spaces for differentials.
Kun or Sturridge,absolute sicknotes....
I wish you could reverse transfers.
Already regretting doing Evans > Baines and Balo > Pelle.
I think Balo will score and ADM will punish me again.I like the Balo to Pelle transfer, not sure about the first
Yeah. Knee-jerky rage is my reason.
The first is injured so kinda necessary. 😛
Yeah but my backup was ok. I should have bought ADM
Hah that is true, but I'm not sure this is the week to get Baines
Both are decent enough moves
Just done Balo to Pelle, QPR at home then a decent run of fixtures, Wots not to like
i have a feeling Balo could do well too
Who to start
A) chambers - tot
B) PVA - swaChambers
Think arsenal will keep a clean sheet?
why would sunderand keep more???
I have the same dilemma and currently on Chambers. There is no point of having him if you don't play at home unless this is against top scoring team with Spurs are not at the moment. I can see Arsenal v Spurs as a low scoring game unlike Sunderland v Swans.
True true, how about Naismith-Liverpool or ullua- palace?
Marginally Ulloa due to security of starts.
Who should I get rid of, Coloccini or Kelly?
kelly
Kelly
coloccini he is awful
Aguero out, Pelle in. Madness?
I have been tempted myself but gunna give him another few weeks.
Yes that is madness.
Insanity
Unless you have something ridiculously good to use the money for
Zaha to Di Maria. Love Aguero, but rotation around CL games will always be a concern. That, and Pelle' home fixtures are tempting me to make the move.
Seen worse transfers than those two, no doubt.
Probably don't think they're worth it with Aguero being a prime captaincy candidate for the week after this and fixtures clearing up etc.
Aguero, having kept him for a tough clash, now dumping him for a decent set of fixtures?
Do you think he'll play over 70 minutes?
Would only 70 minutes stop him being productive?
What I am bringing him in, the fixtures have turnwd
Madness to do it this week imo
I'll see who starts in the Carling Cup.
That character Louis Litt is so irritating yet funny
having seen what the money would be used for yes
Not a fan of the Di Maria move?
i mean yes to the transfer
Ah i see. This Pelle guy looks pretty impressive. Will see how the Carling Cup pans out.
Yes. This is the week to get Aguero. Newcastle had 25 shots against hull.....25!
glad davies is being found out at last, such a championship defender
I did Roon out for Pelle to allow Mata to ADM. Makes sense to me.
Got 2ft this week.
a) Mata to Di Maria
OR
b) Naismith to Welbeck
c) Both of the aboveC.
C
Do A but wait on B. If Naismith gets a rest in midweek then i'd keep him for the Derby.
Alright, thanks.
Just be aware that Naismith might drop in price soon - don't know if that'll affect your planned moves or not.
A
What should I do this GW?? 😯
A. Eriksen-->Di Maria (Will leave me with 0.0 ITB, Will also leave me with 3 united players, Fixtures getting tougher for United)
B. Rooney---> Aguero (Easy fixture for Aguero, Rooney playing in the "hole". Less attacking potential for him. Will be unable to fund for this move if I do A)
C. Chester---->Naylor/Pva/Chambers (Any of these players will be benched this GW. Since I have Dummet I only have 3 nailed defenders. A replacement for Chester will help in the future.)
Im thinking A at the moment but not keen on Uniteds upcoming fixtures, could see them losing to WHM, also have DDG. Thoughts?Time to bring in aguero
B
Sorry B is wrong ignore it.... Mata to Di Maria?
I just realised I can afford this if I WC 😯
Mannone/Hamer
Baines/Clyne/Duff/Moore/Hutton
Sterling/Fab/Siggy/Downing/Boyd
Aguero/Costa/Sturridge
The knees are jerking!
double pool, no united
One week later, 34m of flagged strikers 😉
That helps 😀
Don't use your WC!
I'm not, but really tempted!
Waaaayy too top heavy.
Cheers Lucy, just shocked to find out one can afford it!
That actually looks pretty good, might have to go back to the drawing board with mine
Theo due back after the international break. Nice.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29314861Yep, I think i'm keeping Ramsey for a few weeks now as a Walcott placeholder rather than getting Fábregas.
My thoughts exactly, going to keep Ramsey instead of getting in Di Maria and get Walcott later
De Gea ( Mccarthy)
****************************
Manquillo - Clyne - Wilson - (Wisdom) - (Moore)
*****************************
ADM - Siggy - Fab - Sterling - (Boyd)
*****************************
Pelle - Costa - Balotelli
****************************
2 FT and £1.5m in bank
How do I improve?De Gea to Forster
If you get a mail from an African prince with a business opportunity, it's just me. Wanted to give you the heads up.
RMT/10?
http://i.imgur.com/XyWisSD.png
(1FT; £0.8m ITB)
Cheers lads.8.5. Naismith 😉
Yes, Naismith* 😉
* May or may not tear Liverpool a new one.
8
8/10.
Not sure I like baines vs Pool... 8/10
and naismith.
Naismith out, Ulloa in
If Naismith starts in midweek then yes.
Welbecks to Ulloa or foolish before north london derby?
I wouldn't.
Foolish IMO. 7m for a starting Arsenal striker is incredible value.
lol
Playing a 3-5-2 right now
Should I drop Sanchez and pick up Pelle for a 3-4-3?
Have Forster and Bertrand though already
Forster set to rise tonight?
Thinking of doing Pieters and Krul to Chambers and Forster.
Thoughts?if there for free reasonable moves
What transfers should I prioritize?
A) Krul -> Forster
B) Rooney/Wood -> Pelle/Welbeck -4 (Benching Henderson)
C) Krul/Rooney/Wood -> Forster/Pelle/Welbeck -8 (Benching Henderson)
I would do A. Wouldn't want to lose Rooney against Villa
Certainly not C, a hit for a keeper 😀
Yea, seems a bit silly, I know. Could pay for itself this week, but history suggests it won't.
Please talk me out of this. I'm really afraid of Di Marias price rise.
Ramsey, Hazard -> Fabregas, Di Maria
Current team:
Begovic
Taylor, Cahill, Clyne, Moreno
Ramsey, Sterling, Siggy, Hazard
Costa, Rooney
Subs: Krul, Naismith, Wisdom, El AhmadiOh yeah, for a 4p hit
Not worth a hit.
Crazy, Hazard has the potential to explode vs Villa, Ramsey to Di Maríá seems reasonable but I presume you can't do that by itself?
Nope, gotta fund it from somewhere. 0.2 M short
anyone else not getting ADM?
Ancelotti.
me hoping for a nice 2 pointer and a ramsey goal!!!!!!
Me
finding it hard to squeeze him in and wondering if he's worth the butchering
o/
Me 0/
I'm not, used my transfer
Not sure yet. His fixtures are becoming tougher but he is always going to be Utds go to man in attack, just becasue he's the only ball carrier they have.
Me, probably
Me. Have too many pressing issues.
Costa ownership is almost 2m
😯terrifying. him hitting the post from a fabregas pass was not fun
And the other 1m have probably retired already !
Which?
A) Naismith-liv
B) ulloa-palaceWhat should I prioritise? Getting rid of Eriksen for Di Maria before the NLD. Or getting in Aguero for a less attacking Rooney
aguero imo
I would give both one more week.
So you are saying use my transfer somewhere else?
I would save if those are your only "issues".
NLD is usually goal filled....i would not be getting rid Spurs or Gunner Assets
