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.
Put it this way... I did a pretend WC team & he was in it... Excellent choice behind Ivanovich
My mate put him in for his WCT a couple of weeks back and his scores are basically the difference between us right now.
I think that we are too quick to identify the 'best route to x defence' and forget everybody else.
Azpic is a very good alternative if you can't afford Ivan.
I am just concerend if Mou suprisingly put Luis instead of Azpi sometime. I was thinking to do Cahill to Azpi.
Ironically I was thinking more about when Remy comes in for Costa!
After reading an article on Chelsea, I think their Premier league starting back four will always feature AzpilCheers. So do u think I should do Cahill to Azpi?
Seems a bit of a wasted tranny, unless you need to free up cash.
I agree, Mou loves Azpi and I think Ivan would be the one in Danger if Luis got a start...
Actually, I think Ivanovic is Mou's favourite defender and only sure starter.
And Terry being club captain? So maybe Ivan into CB and Luis starting instead of Cahill? Chelsea are just swamped with talent EVERWHERE!!!
Ivanovic can play CB as well though. I would have Terry is the one who may need a rest the most?
I don't think any of them need a rest at this stage. Not for a while IMO.
And when they do it'll be domestic cup games with the likes of Zouma and Luís coming in.
I really don't see it happening.
Azpilicueta is such a tenacious player, and Mou loves that. He's gone up against some quality wingers and always dominates. Luís will not come in for those tough fixtures when he's yet to really stake a claim in other comps.
If you can Afford Iva then he is first one in the team.
I can save £1.2m for the switch from Ivan to Azpil.
I think he's a good choice.
*buys azpi for a hit
😆
in all serious made a post about him today earlier asking if anyone was interested. looks an absolute steal with chelsea defence inevitably gonna tighten up
I couldn't agree more.
I have 2 FTs and am thinking of doing the most boring moves of all time.
Moreno -> Azpic
Rodwell -> £4.5
I already have ADM and Agüero so no need to look at any big hitters this week.looks good to me, moreno must go for sure, do you need to do the second one to fund the first?
A: Chadli and Aguero
B: Di Maria and Pelle
which one would you prefer?B
Can I get some feedback on this lot? Would be greatly appreciated, everyone. Thanks a bunch.
Adrian / Gilks
Baines / Clyne / Chambers / Wisdom / Moore
Di Maria / Sterling / Siggy / Chadli / Boyd
Aguero / Costa / Welbeck
0.8 ITB.I personally would upgrade Gilks...
Will do if money and transfers aren't an issue.
Thoughts on the squad?
I'd be tempted by Wilson > Azpi over Morono > Baines if Chelsea's fixtures were a bit better...but it doesn't seem to matter all that much to them
Lol see above
morono 😆
Soooo many strikers performing well this season..loving it...
Haha, that's the problem. Kind of gets me tempted to take a couple of budget strikers but then I get tempted by Aguero once again.
I'm ignoring Cisse, Ulloa & Naismith. Not interested in the long term
It's a choice though isn't it (you can add Sakho and Jelavic to that list plus one or two others)..The choice being cheap and fixtures or premium pick and forget...
And a lot of options in midfield too. I'm still playing with 5 mids..
Bit of help please....
Many of you will be aware of the site Fantasy football fix, I wasn't until the poster Marr alerted me to this.
I wanted to do some basic research into looking into this site, but you need to input your FPL password/Email to access their articles (which look/sound very interesting)
Does anyone know if this is safe? Or should I just avoid?I bit the bullet and did it after seeing multiple posts.
It looks fine so far!So you believe safe? Nothings 'hacked' or whatnot into your fpl account?
All I want to access (predominantly) is their price change section, apparently pretty reliableNope, it's all good.
They use the password to get your current squad details (including stuff like what price you bought players at) to be able to suggest stuff to you.
Personally didn't like the suggestion made by their algorithm but the price change seemed good. Really gonna test it tonight.
Please tell me you're not serious. Let me guess you have to enter your NI number and your mothers maiden name to access the season ticker
Read above. It logs into FPL to pull out specific data on your team.
It's safe... so far.
Table on Everton's options for their kind run of fixtures.

Hope it helps, and if it does, make sure you vote for it! 🙂
I can see Luka isnt in list, grrrr..... 🙁
What? He's on top of it 🙂
So good to see Jags above Baines 😀
They're pretty much on par for goal threat 🙂
good posters around i see. any thoughts lads?
Forster
Clyne, Janmaat, Wilson
Di Maria, Sterling, Siggy, Chadli
Kun, Costa, Welbeck
McCarthy, Boyd, PVA, Naylor
1FT, 2.9m. Janmaat really that important to go? i'm keen to savepva:arrow:baines
possibly a good shout with his fixtures turning
Needs more Villa, Berisha and Broich.
😀
Repost from before... Could do with some long-term advice if possible guys.
Current team is:
Begovic - McCarthy
Ivanovic - Clyne - Shawcross - Moreno - Moore
Siggy - Fabregas - Sterling - ADM - Boyd
Costa - Welbeck - Ulloa
3m ITB with 1 FT.
Long term, I'd like to bring in Walcott and one of Sturridge/Aguero.
For Sturridge/Aguero - I have to upgrade Ulloa. I'm personally thinking of slowly downgrading my defense (Ivan, Shawcross, Moreno are all replaceable I feel). Looking at Chambers and Oviedo as interesting picks right now.
For Walcott, who do I go for? If I could've found a way to fit him in over Siggy, I'd have done that in a heartbeat. But that seems difficult right now.. Thoughts?Anybody care to give me a run down on City's match this weekend ?...I'll take it as a given that Aguero looked on the verge of a hat trick or two in the near future but how did his mate Silva look ?
Like he always does. All fart and no poo
Aguero profligate and Silva invisible as usual.
Silva is never invisible...he may be a bit wishy washy with FPL pts sometimes but he's the heartbeat of that team.
I agree.
That team dies out without Silva.
Last season, they kept chugging along when Aguero and Yaya were both injured. But when Silva got injured, they starting losing everything.He dictates the way they play and the tempo..take him away and you just have a very good set of players without the style of play..
Absolutely. I've been saying this for ages but most people can't seem to look past Yaya / Aguero.
On another note, would you trade out Yaya for Silva in a draft league? I have Yaya but I'm thinking of swapping him for Silva.
standard. hugely influential but blunt as a fantasy option. he had a couple of shots from what I remember but they were tame, unconvincing efforts
Shame he fluffs so many...
Now, I can officialy say I am the champion of Early Bird Cup by AZ 😀
I'm looking for ways to get Aguero and just read this info.
Aguero’s fixtures from now until next International break.
11 Oct v Brazil @Argentina
14 Oct v Hong Kong @Hong Kong
18 Oct v Spurs (H)
21 Oct v CSKA (A)
25 Oct v West Ham (A)
29 Oct v Newcastle (H)
02 Nov v Man Utd (H)
05 Nov v CSKA (H)
08 Nov v QPR (A)
Time for Pellegrini to carefully manage his top striker?
Wow. That's a schedule.
Ok, I will captain him vs Spurs
Is the Newcastle game in the league?
It's a Cup game.
Rested during both CSKA matches. And probably Hong Kong.
Its the same for the top 4 striker every year
Whats the 29 october? Micky mouse cup? He wont play that so there is one restGreat team city but the whole team rotates bar silva and kompany,who are not the best scorers,for me it saves a lot of headaches by ignoring the whole outfit altogether,and as response to the above post jovetic is back in the picture as well so its probable kun will get some days off...
"Mission Aguero" aborted!!!
Had I realized this before bringing him this GW, I think I would have reconsidered.....
Looking at that I may go for Falcao instead.
The spurs game us an interesting one, but I think he's more likely to be rested for CL. Also Newcastle us capital one cup. So that's another one he'll miss.
Guys help me with this one please.. 1FT
A) Swap Balo for Pele
B) Swap Balo and Chambers for Pelle and Baines. -4
C) Keep Balo, play Wisdom in defence and save FT
A
A
A from those
Don't like any of those
You not like Pelle? I don't know much about him..
Welbeck perhaps?
Current ADM-less team is :
Begovic - Gilks
Terry - Clyne - Chambers - Hutton - Duff
Fabregas - Sterling - Siggy - Downing - Marney
Costa - Pelle - Aguero
I seriously feel I need to hop on the ADM-train before he reaches £10.3 before next GW - would you WC this team?
Thank you Christina for turning my attention to Sakho before the weekend. I enjoyed his points 🙂
Baines in for free or Aguero in for a hit?
Disasterous week -> 50 (-4) Wildcard active. Couldn't afford Siggy so I had to let him go. Really hope it doesn't bite me too bad
Sorry, mate. 🙁
Got him for 6 and now if I want him back he's 6.7 🙁
50 (-4) is not that bad. A good week would be 60 pts
I fell over 100k places from 60k:(
You can't afford someone who's scored more points than the on fire DiMaria & Fabregas but is a fraction of the cost? Ok...
Pretty much 🙂
Alonso is ripping up the Bundesliga. I would love it if Bayern vs Madrid came up in the CL and Alonso helped orchestrate a comprehensive drubbing
Team for next week
Forster
Baines Azip Naylor
Siggy Fab Sterling ADM
Welbz Costa Pelle
Kasper Duff King Chambers
Pliz rate my team. 0FT 1.3 ITBScott Dann has more PPG than Baines
Anyone captaining Aguero vs Spurs? 🙂
I would if I had him.....definitely.
I got him, but my concern is he goint to Argentina and Hong Kong on int. break and then it's first game of the gameweek. Maybe he will start from the bench?
concerns me also - tempted to hit the WC button to ship him out again for a while
He's not going to Argentina - The Brazil game is in Beijing. Still a fair way but relatively speaking not as much impact on the body-clock as both games are in China.
for a maximum hall of 12-14 points at a cost of 12.1?
nopeSo who is your choice?
the one that is tempting me most is sterling. back on form against wbrom, was very unlucky not to get a huge haul and sturridge will be fit again.
and its QPR who have the worst defence in the leagueCosta - I imagine.
Maybe i should of suggested this guys..
Welbeck or Pelle?Both. I have, and very happy.
Pelle for me
Didn't get Aguero on WC two weeks ago, now have the urge though. Who to downgrade out of hazard, fabregas, sterling? ADM obviously locked in my team.
Alternative is sticking with pelle & welbeck up front. Fixtures look good but worried about their consistency.Hazard to Chadli or Siggy
Yeah you're prob right. Lost siggy on WC so would be annoying to get him back. Might go chadlii.
Hazard > Chadli / Siggy ?
Pelle > KunWill prob have to downgrade two mids.....May get a southampton mid to retain their attack given fixtures along with chadlii. Saying that without siggy gonna get punished every time like on sat. Just a good job hazard got the points too y'day. Cheers.
See post above re Aguero's upcoming game schedule - has made me think twice, at least
Ok cool, maybe this isn't the week to get him. He looks so dangerous though at the moment.
He should've scored two or three against Villa, so he certainly is in form. If you don't have him, I'd hold
I've made my decision!
I'm not getting Baines and will get Kun after GW10 with Costa Pelle Dat Guy until then.
Will go Moreno ---> Wisdom after QPR game, along with Ivan ----> Azpi
Wait two weeks then downgrade Sterling to Chadli if he continues to fire or Henderson if not and Welbeck to Aguero (C) just in time for Man City at QPR.
😀
PHEW!!!Chadlii looks good after city game.
I may copy this. 😉
So which of these would you go for:
A) Ivanovic, Baines Pelle
B) Chambers, Bertrand, Aguero
(Chambers will only be out for one game of course)
Cheers!Finely balanced. I think A. 🙂
Cheers Doos!

Are people actually doing transfer already? We've got 12 days. Unless you're bang on the money and can't hold on, it's not a good idea
No....just planning. Always best to have an idea of transfers though just in case a chance of getting priced out of them due to rises/falls.
Welbeck in for Ulloa on Saturday night. Risky I know, but a combination of not wanting to see Ulloa in my team any more and catching the Welbeck price rise created an itch I just had to scratch 🙂
And Welbeck will certainly be playing twice for England.
Welbeck is pissing me off. Almost wanted him to get sent off on sun so had a reason to take him out, saying that he has the fixtures now so I expect points.
Got 12 days to kick ideas around until hopefully saving the ft anyway
If waiting costs you - say - 0.3 (in drops and rises), it might not kill your transfer plan this gameweek but who knows which future transfers it prices you out of?
I'm not saying this is a cast-iron reason to move early. I'm undecided on the price you can put on avoiding an injury risk. But I do get surprised when people rule it out of their thinking altogether. To me it seems a bit short-sighted to only consider this week's transfer budget.No way! Barring injuries I am holding until next GW, all the main FPL fixtures have easy ish games next week.
HAZZZZZ!
Krul Elliott
Clyne Bertrand Chambers PvA Duff
Hazard DiMaria Sterling Siggy Boyd
Aguero Costa Welbeck
Any changes worth making (I'm already transfering Krul out sooner rather than later).What to do with this lot?
Mannone Gilks
Clyne Moreno Wilson PvA Hutton
Fabregas ADM Sterling Siggy Henderson
Aguero Costa Naismith
1 FT, 0.5 in the bankAnyone playing Chadli vs City?
I can see them setting up similar to how they did at The Emirates and getting a goal on the counter.would like him but don't have a space. Sterling-Siggy-Haz-ADM. cannot justify losing any of them
Well its him or play one of wanyama, wisdom (MUN) or hutton (eve) so yes im playing him
9 years, 8 months agoAzpilicueta.
I know that £6m is hardly bargain basement territory for a defender, but Chelsea have just recorded a second straight cleanie, against Arsenal too, and are starting to look like the shut out kings of last year once more.
Yes, fixtures aren't great, but that can often be a good thing with Mourinho sides as defence comes first so we are looking at a season keeper here. He's also played 90 minutes in EVERY PL game so that Luís risk in negligible.
Azpic picked up 18 points in his last 2 and is £1.3m cheaper than Ivanovic (who picked up 13 in the same period).
I'm not saying I think he'll continue to outscore Ivan, but i don't think there will be a huge amount in it with Ivan slowing down (Goals) and Azpic picking up (BAPS).
