As we brace ourselves for the second international break of the season, our Sunday members regular delves into the Gameweek 7 data. United’s record signing, City’s in-form frontman and Swansea’s resurgent striker are amongst this evening’s topics, as we also analyse the recent displays of a number of favourably priced midfielders across the last few Gameweeks.
I guess Mutch to Chadli would make things better. Just to much dead wood
You could use it. But if not Mutch to Chadli would be a good move. Or see if you can work out how to get Kun into that front 3
He must need to downgrade a mid to get Aguero into that front 3. Hasn't made much value(in fact he has lost money.
lovren>Clyne. Mutch>ADM later for free. you can still survive with that team yknow.. dont waste the wc.
*bertrand.
I think those would be good transfers for him. I like him to be competetive to keep me on my toes. Beating someone not as good as yourself is less rewarding
Wild card
I would WC if I were him. I think I will be prepared for a new look opponent next GW
WC Picks - A or B?
A] Clyne // Pelle // Guzan
B] Ivanovic // Naismith // Forster
(have Baines and Bertrand)A
A for sure.
A
Thanks...I was leaning towards B. Any particular reasons for 'A'?
How'd Tadic look vs Spurs?
Still a good pick for upcoming fixtures?yeap whipped few good crosses. just saints doesn't have that luck, and good news for spurs tho they defended well.
What a boss Chadli is this season 🙂
👿
Southampton couldn't get going. They panicked at the end and subbed Long on for Wanyama to try and have some pressure on Tottenham defence but they ended up resorting to longballs which Kaboul cleaned up. Tadic was clearly frustrated by Spurs last night....not sure how his owners would feel.
Got 2 FTs and can't see any easy moves. Any help?
Bego (McCarthy)
Ivan Clyne NTaylor (Duff) (Moore)
Sterling Fabregas Siggy Di Maria (Boyd)
Falcao Ulloa Costa
1.1 itb, 2 FTsbego>guzan? your team seemed good enough to save ft but you have 2 so... other option is to get Baines but doubt youd have enough funds..
Falcao or Ulloa out seems the call. Begovic to Lloris after the City game could be a decent move too.
Terry owners with 2fts. are you keeping or getting rid?
That may be too niche for the deadzone 😉
I have Cahill and one ft and will be swapping for chambers next week
Have 1 FT, 1.7 itb. Happy to take a hit this week. Ferdinand is the first who has to make way, and one of chester/kelly. Any suggestions?
Begovic
Clyne - PvA - Kelly
ADM - Sterling - Tadic - Siggy
Costa - Aguero - Welbeck
Gilks -- Marney - Ferdinand - ChesterI don't think a hit is necessary. Save and get chambers next week with one of the ft
Have you seen the fixtures for my defenders next week?
4 of them play Southampton, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool
Ferdi>>Azpi ??
Then Chester/Kelly>>Chambers after this GW maybe!
I'm thinking either Aspi, Jagielka or Mangala. Although I'd really like Baines.
If only Newcastle would go ahead and sack Pardew employ Pulis and I can keep Krul happily
This.
I'm still hoping Krul will be my new ward, whom I held on to all season last year despite the pre pulis palace horror showThey will never employ Pulis you know. He doesn't suit Newcastle as the fans expect them to win with style not grind out results. Personally they should be happy if they are winning imo but it doesn't seem to work like that there
If Everton do poorly over the next few games would there be any chance of a Moyes return?
Would that be a good or a bad thing?
Good I believe
Not sure. Martinez has been OK so far there. They have had a rough start to the season so far may be the season starts now for them?
They simply have to get results now
Surely not? RM was great last season and he's missing key players in Barkley and Coleman + Distin's getting old and no Pienaar.
They had a rough start so 'should' do better with the easier fixture list that approaches. They will be expected to win most of those games
Highly doubt he would get sacked. Remember, Everton over-achieved last season.
lol
No.What if they lose the next 5 matches?
Unlikely and purely hypothetical so what is the point?
See below to the point of this discussion
You could say that about pretty much any manager couldn't you? Would LVG be sacked if he lost the next 5 matches on the bounce after spending all that cash?
I'm just wanting to know if Moyes would be the one they turn too. Would be a nice comeback
Well there is certainly no bad feeling as he did a lot of good work there so possibly
Well I don't think anyone on here would know
All I'm asking for is opinions
Does a failed stint in charge of Man U raise or lower your salary? Everton are not a rich club
Well I'd expect him to have his old Everton salary which is probably less than his United one
I thought Man U gave him a big pay rise. He may be looking for a bigger challenge than Everton now I reckon his next team will be abroad maybe a team in the Europa league or something like that. Rangers might be a neat fit once they go up to the top division in Scotland again
Fair point that. Moyes might be too much of a big dog now.
If it were me it would be like admitting failure going back and he is a good manager
It's a shame though, I would have thought it'd be like 'going home' for him. Pride may yet get in the way though
I would wildcard every GW if i had !! :-/
It always tempts you until it is gone
Did fab + duff...> Ivan + chadli...hope it will make some sense long term......
Repost 😉
Do you guys think doing:
Chester to Baines
DDG to 4.5 (Foster, Krul etc) for a hit is worth it?
Would leave me with a defence of:
4.5
Cahil/Baines/Duff/Dummet/Clyne
If I do this, it would mean that I would be unable to upgrade Downing in the future (0.1 itb)No, wait for a week Aston villa are good away from home + Benteke is back, even though Everton would score they can concede.
My concern is Downing though.
Why is that??
Well, he is my 4th mid and I would only have 0.1 itb. He is only 5.6 and it would be hard upgrading him in the future.
That's the issue with Downing...he'll prob be the 4th mid but not sure how long term a pick he would be. Don't think those transfers are worth a hit considering you might be stuck with Downing-Baines for a long time if the only way to upgrade downing is losing Baines - there will always be that temptation to drop a 7m def!
Well I could always do Cahill to Baines and will have the cash to do Downing to Chadli in the future.
and to be fair I would be always tempted to drop Cahill over Baines 😛
Begovic, Elliot
Terry, Coloccini, Chester, Wisdom, Duff
Di Maria, Fabregas, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Jones
Costa, Pelle, Welbeck
1FT, 4.2 in the bank
Chester to Baines the right move?No, Colo to baines. You have a great team tho.
I would do Chester to Baines. Hull have tough fixtures
I suppose you could make a case for either. Chester's fixtures are pretty rancid even assuming he stays in the team. Coloccini is absolutely terrible though but at least has a decent fixture next week (Leicester H).
Would probably bring Bertrand in for the other one if them the week after.
I hope that Everton (ie. Baines) can bring in the points with their "favourable" fixtures. Couldn't believe he didn't slot that penalty. I am the only one with him in my ML, it hurt.
Are any other Baines owners happy in what they saw yesterday? Yes, he missed a penalty, and its no surprise that he is an attacking minded fullback, but a lot of the play went through him and he is almost like everton's playmaker on the left...
He got a nice assist and could've had a few more, and with easier fixtures coming up you would hope he can get some clean sheets as well as attacking returns.
Did anyone else feel justified in their decision to have Baines last night?
Proud owner of Baines here. Have him for last 4GWs and he has been productive. Confident that he wont disappoint in coming weeks 🙂
Keep Hendo or Sell for Tadic?.
Both good fixtures.Hendo's impressive haul have caught me in two mindsKeep Hendo. By far Liverpools best player imo. Sterling is yet to convince
I already have sterling. Im afraid to miss out on soton's good fixtures. And people around here seem to rate tadic very highly, must be for a good reason dont you think.?
He's a good player, looked fantastic against QPR but ordinary vs Spurs. QPR tends to do that to players....
Lamela, Tadic, DiMaria (arguably), Crouch, Downing, Sakho
Whoa, I'm pondering getting Hendo for Sterling and you want to dump him for Tadic? This Tadic love will never subside, will it? He has 2.9% ownership, all of which is probably from FFS.
Well if tadic is not convincing enough i can swap hendo with pelle upfront. What do you guys think
My team is (2.3m ITB)
krul (elliot)
chambers naylor pva (hutton moore)
Hazard ADM Siggy Sterling Hendo
Costa Aguero Vazte
my current team
Mannone, Krul
cahill, PVA, Wilson, Colo, Rio
Hazard, ADM, Sterling, Eriksen, Marney
Costa, Pelle, Jelly
1 FT and 0.3 in banks
I want to getting Baines in
so which one?
A. Eriksen and Cahill to Siggy and Baines for a hit (4)
B. Eriksen to Siggy. next GW: Cahill to Baines
C. Eriksen and Colo to Downing and Baines (-4)
D. Save FT
any thoughts?I'd do A and get it over and done with. Good fixtures for both.
I would be focusing on getting Jelavic out personally.
Hi DZ. 55 for the week, but dropped from 140k to 230k - go figure. Have 1.5 banked and I guess I definitely have to fix my defence, quite happy with front 7 but defence is killing me week in week out.
Krul* Elliot
Clyne Bardsley* Wilson* Chambers Wisdom
DiMaria Tadic Sigurdsson Sterling Marney
Costa Aguero Pelle
Thoughts?Bardsley--->Mangala?
sorry for late reply. Fair shout, thanks Arvin.
Thoughts on Fabregas -> Di Maria?
Siggy a season keeper??
I don't see any better option at that price for a player that is a proven FPL scorer if given the minutes.
It certainly looks that way
A "season keeper" until he stops scoring points or gets injured. He certainly is staying in my team for now.
With Chambers out (5 YC's) next GW, who takes his place - Monreal or Bellerin?
Probably Bellerin
Thoughts on what to do with this side?
Krul foster
Clyne Bertrand Naylor pva duff
Cesc siggy sterling tadic Di Maria
Aguero Costa vaz te
2 FTs and 0 itb.
Considering dumping tadic and vaz to for
A) sakho and chadli
B) naismith and chadli
C) Welbeck and 4.6
D) cisse and downing
E) something else...Ideal frontline for coming weeks?
Looks like I can get any frontline but not sure which one. Current frontline is Costa-Pelle-Luka.
Costa-Aguero-Welbeck
Costa - Aguero - Wellbeck or CAW/WAC as it will be known
WAC has a nice ring to it
seems dc, welbz, pelle or kun
Cheers! Will start modifying my front from this week 🙂
Doesn't mean any of us are correct
Atleast on paper, it looks productive... Everyone can't be wrong 😉
Have you not been on here before we are more wrong than right!
Agree 😀 Thats why will modify slowly starting with bringing Welbeck. Think same is the case with Tadic here...
Best Defence pls? thnx...still tinkering w/ it. ready to zzz.
1.Aspi - Kaboul - Chambers - Moore - Wisdom
2.kaboul - bertrand - clyne - moore - wisdom
3.Aspi - Bertrand - Hutton - Moore - Wisdom
4.Kaboul - Bertrand - NTaylor - Chambers - Wisdom4
2
1 u dont think good w/ having che, ars, and spurs def? chambers has great run fixtures, hopefully no yc
Chambers' YC put me off... He gets one every week, possibly someday will get RC too. Think Che will concede against bottom half teams...
cheers. im btn 1 & 2...just not sure how necessary it would be for a Che def. yes, they have nt kept it as tight as prev yr, but could start to.
4 is the most well rounded.
Time for bed. Good night everyone and remember winners don't do drugs
GN 🙂
Druggies DO winners though
Not that I would ever know in my past
Who here has watched much of Burnley so far?
I want Baines, but need to take -4pts hit to get him (I'm £0.1m shy of a straight swap!).
O'Shea --> Baines
Begovic --> Heaton
Is Heaton is a good
Begovic
Iva Moreno Clyne
Siggy Sterling Fab Chadi Tadic
Pelle DCosta
Bench: Uloa Duff Wilson Krul
3.0 M ITB
Am I need to change MD to Di Maria? or keep them all?
Any suggestion is my pleasure
What will happen first, Baines fall or Chadli rise? I need another 0.1 to make this happen
I'm think about Chambers + Sterling > Baines + ChadliEvening/morning all!!!
What's the buzz?104.0m lovely
I could slag off every single FFS member and MOD ATM and nobody would be here to see it...
I won't and I wouldn't....
Talk lads.
Good week?
Ulloa still ticking me offIn fact am I THE ONLY person here?
Somebody please highlight this in dark green and post it on a Sat morning!
9 years, 8 months agoWhat would you do with this team?
Forster - Krul
Terry - Duff - Lovren - Caulker - Dummett
Sanchez - Fabregas - Sterling - Boyd - Mutch
Naismith - Ulloa - Costa
4.8 in bank. Just short of Mutch to ADM
It isn't mine it is my mate who I play in a H2H league. Got to be wilcarding over the break you would think?
