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.
Forster - (Gilks)
Terry - PvA - Moore (Coloccini) (Ferdinand)
Fabregas - Sterling - Ramsey - Siggy (Marney)
Costa (c) - Rooney - Pelle
1 FT - £1.0 in the bank
Think I need Di Maria, Ramsey the likely transfer out
Would you take a hit to upgrade Ferdinand/Coloccini to Duff or is my defense okay for this GW?
Ramsey out before the derby is madness.
Yes ozil took his place last game but that's no guarantee he won't be put back next game.Not owning Di Maria is scary, but your right Ramsey has the potential to score a decent amount of points on Saturday
On Wildcard lads, some final touches
A) Baines, Azpilicueta, Moore/Wisdom
B) Jagielka, Lovren, Azpilicueta
C) Baines, Lovren, Wilson
Schmeichel / Foster (very good rotation)
Chambers, Duff , XXX, XXX, XXX
ADM, Fabregas, Sterling, Siggy , Ramsey
Costa, Welbeck, Ulloa
ThanksIm having the same problem. The problem I think with this choice is that every week you have a benching issue.
See my proposed teams abovewith injuries, cards, rotation issues, last minute injuries (like sanchez this week) a strong bench is a must
Could disagree more! I hate an a benching dilemma, what's more I can count on two fingers in eight years playing this game when I'd wished to have 'strong' bench. You want as much as possible in your first 11
All of those are too expensive for me but A if pushed.
u mean too much money in defense? i was to consider kun but then he is an injury waititng to happen i dont want to go through last year's mess. Only other striker i would consider is falcao
You need a saints defender in there. Clyne/Bertrand, Azpi, Moore. Baines is good if he gets you attacking points (penalty this weekend) however Everton have been swiss cheese for clean sheets. Liverpool, Man U and Aston Villa up next. Would be surprised for a clean sheet against any of them.
i have southampton keeper
fair point for everton defenseI had double Southampton all last year with Lovren/Fonte and they raked in the points for me. Ride it until it slows. Both Clyne and Bertrand have proven to be an attacking threat too. Clyne with the wingback and Bertrand with most touches in the offensive third of a defender. Otherwise I think your team is very strong. I don't think this issue will make or break you. Take a chance.
What do you think?
*Who to captain?
*Any Transfer to do?
*Lineup like this?
Mannone
Ivanovic --- Clyne --- Wisdom
Hazard --- Sterling --- ADM --- Siggy
Costa --- Rooney --- Naismith
Subs: Krul, PVA, Dummet, JWP
Send me your log in
Naismith out Ulloa in. He's fixture proof so far.
Any tips? Already took -4 hit
Krul (Myhill)
Clyne Duff Wisdom (Moreno, Rose)
Sterling Siggy Fab ADM (Clattermole)
Ulloa Costa Rooney
3.1 in bank
good to go
Rooney vs. Falcao vs. ADM
Who'd you go with for the medium term?ADM
Evs did 2 transfers already
Vardy and...?Why would he have got Vardy?
Bony out
Guys, what change to make?
Bego
Ivan, Moreno, clyne (Wilson, Hutton)
Fab, Siggy, ADM, Sterling (Zaha)
Ballo, Costa, Naismith
Ballo to welbeck, Naismith to ulloa for a hit?
Not to different from my team mate
Deffo pop Ulloa in there for Naismith
Im stuck on the Balo decision aswell mate
Just the first
Almost with the same team…I'd do Naismith to Ulloa. Don't take a hit, ride out Balo. I'd play Wilson over Moreno this weekend. Everton will score on Liverpool and not sure if he's got any attacking points in him.
Team for GW6
Forster
Bertrand - Van A - Trippier
Fabs - Sterlz - Siggy - Di Maria
Ballo - Costa - Ulloa
What you think lads?
1.1 in bank but 0FT
Anything need changing for a -4 hit?Was thinking same - v similar. Gut says leave welbeck out til gw8 and save the 4 pts
Bias and optimism is tempting me towards siggy --> downing. Maybe in a few weeks...
Nope. Don't do that. Siggy will be back.
This
GW 10 perhaps
Remember all that worrying in pre-season about Sigurdsson playing out wide?
Yes...
Yes, Swansea's pre-season form didn't help things 🙂
Indeed. Much better with one upfront
Indeed. Didnt help that Monk was talking up the 4-4-2 either!
Routledge and Dyer are so much better in those roles rather than wingers in a 4-4-2, great on the counter
Want to do Terry>Baines in GW8. Any moves that are needed before then? Possibly Krul or Chester out? Could I get stung for not owning Di Maria?
1FT £1m ITB
Krul (Gilks)
Naylor Terry Bertrand (Chester Moore)
Sigurdsson Ramsey Fabregas Sterling (Marney)
Costa Pelle Rooney
Ulloa or pelle?
Pelle imo
Pelle long term, Ulloa for rise & form
both
Who will score more goals next gameweeks
A) balo (great fixtures)
B) falcao
C) rooney
Allready have baloB
C, more points
I'm thinking Balo
Current front line: costa pelle BALO
Balo to:
A welbeck
B falcao
C aguero (involving moreno to duff/chembers)
B keep balo for the next two
I'm in a similar boat. Would expect Balo to outscore both Welbeck and Falcao over the next two. C probably depends on whether you have other issues in your squad and therefore if the 2 transfers could be better used elsewhere.
Thanks, didnt notice your other comment there... 🙂
Welbeck is a must but after two gws... Not sure if I want him straight away.
With the extra cash could get a che defender maybe
Squad in good shape, Evans the only problem. 2FTs.
a) Evans -> Chambers/Van Aanholt and Balo->Agüero
b) just Evans -> Chambers/PVA and sit on the 2.4m to get Baines in for GW8.b with Balo > Kun
so a) then? 🙂
Evans out this GW, bring Kun next
GW8 onwards, who becomes the priority?
Baines or Aguero?
Aguero obv.
both!
Both babe
Wow, Downing's stats looks good! http://www.squawka.com/comparison-matrix#premier_league/2014/2015/gylfi_sigurdsson/126/126/863/46/p|premier_league/2014/2015/cesc_fàbregas/126/126/306/0/p|premier_league/2014/2015/stewart_downing/126/126/78/49/p#assists/chances_created/key_passes/goals_scored/total_shots/successful_take_ons#total
Already picked him up! Hoping he runs Man U's D as ragged as Vardy did. West Ham have been pretty impressive in the offensive 3rd, which says a lot for a Big Sam team
Play Caulker, Duff or Moore?
Krul
Ivanovic / Clyne / Caulker
Di María / Siggy / Fábregas / Ramsey / Sterling
Costa (c) / Pellè (vc)
Gilks / Naismith / Duff / Moore
Duff
i think duff
Duffy easily
Cheers!
lamela , pva , zaha . who to play this week ?
Lamela for the NLD
Never done one of these, so I'll just go for it. This is for Gw8 btw, god forbid I lose more TV!
RMWCT
Mannone
Baines | Clyne | Duff
AdM | Fab | Sterling | Siggy
Costa | Aguero | Welbeck
Bench: McCarthy, Moore. Wisdom, Boydlooks good
Cheers 🙂
Get Lukaku instead of Baines
I like that actually, Chambers in then?
i wouldn't. welbeck vs lukaku is a 50/50 shout. both have great fixtures, but welbeck is cheaper. baines vs chambers is a no brainer as baines is on pens and is almost guaranteed to get at least one over the course of those games.

Captain Costa
Good to goid just do the naismith to ulloa if u can afford it
Wish I didn't have to WC so early on 🙠Just screwed around making a new team and it's perfect but would cost me -28 to make lol
I think now is quite a good time. go for it.
-28? I'd be crucified if I told everyone I actually did that
If you're confident in the team you want and you land up hitting 80/90 points, then 80-28 is still not a bad score plus you have a great team? Depends on your confidence though 😉 Good luck.
Guys, I'm torn between saving my transfer and wildcarding! What do you reckon?
Begovic
Lovren Bertrand Duff
Fabregas Ramsey siggy sterling
Naismith Costa rooney
Guzan Henderson cdavies ColocciniDon't see any reason you'd need to WC
Naismith to ulloa?
Ramsey to adm?
Siggy to herrera?Naismith transfer is good but the rest aren't necessary. I'm a Spurs fan and worry Rambo will tear us apart the way we've been playing. Siggy was away to CHE and got screwed by Bony red. He'll be back
is my WC good to go
Forster (McCarthy)
Baines, Clyne, Chambers (Wisdom, Duff)
Fabregas, Di Maria, Sterling, Siggy (Boyd)
Costa, Rooney, Ulloa
leave 0.7 in the bank
Which three to play out of these:
Clyne, PVA, Naylor, Wisdom, DuffClyne, Duff, Naylor
Aguero & Boyd > Ulloa & Di Maria for -4 pt hit?
Aguero out for a hit, now I've seen it all!
you've seen it all?
Aguero currently is non-essnetial.....di maria is fast becoming essential.
I am currently sat in top 45kif you ship aguero ahead of their run of fixtures you will soon be lower on the rankings. i would find a way to fit them both in if you consider di maria essential.
and to ship aguer for a hit is madness
aguero should do well this weekend id give him another week at least
Have a cold already. The abysmal weather is coming up.
ğŸ™
Those Siggy stats are a tad concerning ğŸ™
I'm wondering about this... Is he becoming worse?
Doesn't get the full expression in the current line up.
Not concerning at all imo. Away to Chelsea then a red card for his team the following fixture. Give him 2-3 more to deliver otherwise consider shifting.
Keep for the next two then reassess over the break.
Stats are deceiving when they're not interpreted correctly.
What stats? He had 10 men and was unlucky not to assist...
I assume you can't read the above article but the stats were based on the last 3 games not just the last game.
I could imagine a shift to 4 big mids and one big fwd (Costa) if it carries on.
Eg
4 of Di Maria, Cesc, Haz, Ramsey, Sterling, Sanchez
Costa
2 of Welbeck, Pelle, Ulloa, NaismithADM, Cesc, Ramsey, Sterling
PelloaNo way Ramsey, I'm holding Siggy for the next couple of decent fixtures but planning my exit to be replaced by Walcott.
Swansea had 2 great chances in the game before the red card and he would of assisted both if the finishing was better
Which two to go with Costa; Welbeck, Pelle or Ulloa?
Pelloa
Costa & Ulloa
Pellbeck
Going to work now, so I'll post it one last time, vote for me 😉
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/8364752Sarj - I'm sorry, don't like the team. ğŸ™
Do you think the 100+ who voted for you all liked yours, Doosra? 😉
No offence intended, obviously.I never read the teams personally, just vote for the posters I like most.
😯
I voted for you. 😛
You are very kind - thank you. 🙂
Well, they sure didn't like me, Demi. 🙂
