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.
What do you think about this trade offer in draft fantasy football?
I've been offered Rooney for Berahino.
What makes it interesting though, is that I have: RVP and Falcao already. (Plus Jones who I'd have to drop to accept the trade). How mental would a front line of RVP, Rooney and Falcao be (and it's a 15 team league)
Is that you LVG ? I've told you before buy a defender
haha. well my defence is looking alright actually. midfield is the problem and not much i can do about it:
Position Name Team Weekly Total
G McGregor Hull 0 19
G Tremmel Swansea 0 0
D Mertesacker Arsenal 1 12
D Cahill Chelsea 5 22
D Chester Hull 6 16
D Jones Man Utd 0 12
D Huth Stoke 0 0
M Ramsey Arsenal 0 24
M Puncheon Crystal Palace 2 23
M Ben Arfa Hull 0 2
M Ward-Prowse Southampton 0 17
M Sessegnon West Brom 2 10
F van Persie Man Utd 1 18
F Berahino West Brom 6 34
F Falcao Man Utd 6 17Might leave it actually. I don't like two weeks without a game, especially with a rubbish midfield. And Berahino is alright
Problem with draft games when your team is crap. Hard to change.
It's all a matter of perspective. Every player is a differential. We all have crap teams because there are 15 managers in the league. And you can always offer trades to change things up.
We definitely don't have the template mids in our game. It's fun playing it along side the regular fpl game
A Welbeck red card would have really changed FPL on here.
A Costa wouldve even more
Did he deserve one? Didn't watch the game.
No ... Was just responding to your " chnaged fpl " comment
Only difference is that Welbeck should have been sent off. Curious to see if Wenger had anything to say about that challenge, going on his usual rampage when Sanchez got tackled in the first half.
Atkinson put himself in a corner with his bad decisions all game though.
If he had sent off Welbeck then people would wonder why Cahill didn't get sent off for pretty much the same thing.
I did Ulloa>Welbeck last night though, so when I saw the tackle I was properly bricking it because that should have been a red.I dont think Cahills one is -as- bad, but its definitely pretty close and both could have been reds. Welbecks one is definitely a red though. Think about it, if thats not one, then what is? Atkinson is shocking.
Indeed it would. Got lucky there.
I am up to 1,265 rank now btw. Still on track for the big one 😆
Chaos at its finest
Yeah and same with a Cahill red card. Along with that result.
Lads
Should I wildcard ? O ITB
Krul
Baines, Naylor, JT
Downing, Sterling, Hazard, Siggy
Aguero, Costa, Welbeck
Elliott, Bruce, Moore, Marney
Would like to fit MUFC player in but ive missed the adm boat plus their fixtures are not the best.
Stick for now.
Don't think you need to wildcard at all
Stupid to even ask
+1 .all these "should I WC" when their teams just need one or two players changing is becoming very annoying
Wouldn't be crazy to WC IMO.
But I would try and find a way to get ADM in.
Defence is too expensive. And you have no rotation with rubbish subs. But your starting XI is really strong (apart from the lack of ADM. Can't have it all I suppose...)If I do it will be the expense of sterling
Ye. Def a good choice IMO. If you have the funds to upgrade
ADM is my favourite player to watch this season, love his skill...
Who's yours?AdM.
He's absolute class.That back heel pass to Falcao ...
Jeeeeez
Did really enjoy DDG's goalkeeping antics today though, he stopped them losing 3-2.I honestly can't believe RM sold him. He was probably their best player overall last season.
Not a big enough name and they wanted the flavour of the month so they needed the space, pretty standard RM.
David 'The Merlin' Silva.
I do like watching him, and Hazard.
ha...see below..
so far ADM.
But if Wally can bring goals and wins for Arsenal then he'll be my number 1Walcott? Fantasy gold, but he`s not really an enjoyable player. Literally only knows how to run straight forward and sometimes not even that, not very skillful. ADM, Haz, Silva, these are the gems of the bpl.
aye but as an Arsenal fan he brings much more attacking threat than Cazorla
Yeah totally agree, he`s the best fpl player for Arsenal. But he`s not really that good, like as a real life footballer. He fits in well with Arsenal though, with his penetration and pace.
ADM, Sterling, Pelle.
In the PL... probably Kolarov.
Downing
Hibbert
Hazard and Silva..i really couldn't choose...ADM is gonna run 'em close though.
Really enjoy watching Di María, has everything in his locker.
Otherwise, Silva yesterday.He doesn't lose the ball...
Joe Allen.
Ozil at his best but he hasn't really playing like that often this season. ADM or Silva would be my picks.
Alexis Sanchez. The lad is a beast.
You just enjoy it when he pulls up his shorts
Surprised no one has said Lallana. His goal yesterday was sublime. Definitely one of the most entertaining players to watch.
I agree with you. Super slick player who has a surprisingly high workrate.
I do like him, just not more than ADM/Silva/Hazard.
Mirallas is class tooToo much up and down, but entertaining to watch on his best days
PVA or Wilson out for Azpilicueta?
Neither. Azpi is a rotation risk. Luis will play occasionally.
ShawX to Baines or Ulloa to Welbeck?
Feeling like Giving Ulloa another week, which is NOT how i feel about ShawXShawX to Baines. Ulloa has nice fixtures and Welbeck isn't essential IMO.
that's what I was thinking.
well i have a bit of extra cash so I am going to wait out the international break in case Aguero/Costa hamstrings implode
Dave 😎
The save.
Kitson
ADM essential?
Yes. Beating Costa for PPG. Even though it's early days, he could easily continue with a goal and an assist a game.
an assist and a goal a game. not very likely unfortunately.
Unlikely but even a goal or assist a game is great!
even that is unlikely season long 🙂
So what do you think of this WC team?
Forster, Hamer
Baines, Ivan, Bertrand, Moore, Wisdom
Fab/Sanchez, ADM, Sterling, Siggy, Boyd
Costa, Naismith, WelbeckGood team, but I'd find a way to get Pelle in for Naismith up front.
I think your defence is way too expensive. I think it'd be a lot nicer to have Manonne as your backup keeper for 0.5 more.
I don't like Moore. Don't think Leicester can defend. Prefer Duff (Burnley). But this isn't a big deal. They'll probs be benched every game.
I prefer Fab over Sanchez just because of form.
Falcao out for Pellè?
lol
Heaton Hamer
Ivanovic clyne chambers Moore duff
Siggy fabregas Di Maria sterling Boyd
Falcao Costa Pelle
2FT thinking
Chambers to Baines
Falcao to webeck ...... Sound ok ? Or any other suggestions ?
What are non Di Maria owners doing? He now has goal threat stats to back up his obvious quality. I'm going to have to accept I was completely wrong on this one.
He does have tough fixtures 9/10 but I'm not sure that will be enough to halt the train.
Currently thinking I may ride it out until week 11 but interested in others thoughtsI'm starting to think it was the wrong decision not to buy him, if only for the price rises, even if i think there are better and cheaper options.
Concerned as a non-owner myself. Tough to see who I bring him in for too.
Same, other than Tadic my midfield all delivered something and I'm not ready to get off Tadic yet.
I think I will hold this week, hopefully save my transfer. Next week I have the option of doing Cahill + Tadic > Chambers + Di Maria for free (with a 0.5 buffer to ride out price changes)
Non ADM owner here
Yes, also looking at week 11 ........ His place will be taking by sterling
I think he made a huge difference today as so many captained himExactly on the same boat as you. I just don't know who I can bring him in for as I have a midfield of Sterling, Silva, Siggy, Fab, Wanyama (perma-bench). Maybe Silva but Man City have better fixtures than ManU.
Get him and keep him. He's obviously awesome and has taken to the Prem like a duck to water.
Who to bench GW8?
A) Ulloa
B) Pelle
C) Costa
D) ADM
E) Chadli
F) Siggy
G) Fab
Ulloa on the bench currently.Chadli. Dont expect Spurs to get much v City
Chadli as playing city
That makes sense. Thanks!
I have 4.8m in the bank! Where to spend it?
Begovic - Krul
Lovren - Williamson - Davies - oshea - Bertrand
Siggy - silva - di Maria - sterling - Marney
Ulloa- welbeck - Costa
Thinking Marney to a premium mid but not sure whoGood team up front. If money isn't a problem for you, I'd be looking at getting Baines in for one of those cheap defenders.
Spend it all on hats
Get any Chelsea defender.
As the americans say:
DEFENCE, DEFENCE, DEFENCE
Aguero to Sturridge allows me to bring in ADM...
pool have good fixtures, Aguero ownership is still quite low, so his points aren't too devastating for the non-owner. ADM on the other hand...
Would anyone ship Tadic Chambers or Welbeck? Have 2 FT and love the rest of my team.
not really. just ride out the chambers suspension, the others have great fixtures ahead.
Right. Might have to upgrade Boyd or an uber def then.
A keeper change perhaps? Chances are one of your squad will get injured during the break.
Cant think of one that I would want.
Agreed on injury likelihood so I can afford to wait and see. Thanks.
just thinking that if Baines had scored that penalty he would have ended up on about 17 points today, instead he got 2.
You should have stuck in at school GD.
how. missed the fact they conceded. lol
13 maybe ?14 & that's my final offer. 🙂
-1 for 2 goals conceded ?
Baps may have been affected...
Yep, -1 =13.
🙂;). bit of a bummer really but Baines looks like a great option. Just hope Everton can tighten up a bit.
i wS just testing everyone Gnu. can always trust a fellow Scotsman to count the beans properly. *cough*
Always seem to have some left over.
Any reason I should not use my 2FT and do van Aanholt and Quinn to Baines and Boyd before the price change?
When do these Di María shot assists stop becoming flukey?
That's three now I think.It is. That said, he could have had a lot of "real" ones. He`s just so good, literally everywhere.
Some of the crosses he whips in are just so delightful, once Falcao and van Persie are in form he'll be rolling in assists.
Yeah, he really is exellent. His goal today and v Leicester has been the only "pure" ones, if you can call it that, but he could have had a lot more if his team took better care of it. I knew he was good, but seeing him 90 minutes week in week out really just lets you see how good he actually is. Technical ability out the he-ho, absolutely incredible.
wooof,that DeGea save at full time
@Accounting on Chris...Thanks for the reminder about why I play this game..It's because I love watching my favourite players...so for good or bad...Tadic > Silva
Silva Siggy Hazard ADM midfield..nice...That is decent, but does need more fabregas
Naismith was lucky to score that. Awful technique. All about the cross
Got 2 FTs
Thinking of doing:
Sterling -> Henderson
Duff -> Baines (or other big hitter defender).
At the moment...
Mannone/Guzan
Clyne Rose PVA Wisdom Chester
Di Maria Sterling Chadli Siggy Albrighton
Agüero Costa Lukaku
Any obvious trades I should make? (1FT 1.1 in the bank)
Maybe get rid of Chester? Or Albrighton? Lukaku to Pelle/Welbeck?Nice assist there from ADM
One free transfer this week. £1.2m in the bank. What to do?
Bego, McCarthy.
Moreno, Alderweireld, Taylor, Moore, Duff.
Sterling, Fabregas, Sigurdsson, ADM, Boyd.
Diego Costa, Falcao, Pelle
Was thinking Falcao > Welbeck & Moreno > Baines for a -4 hit. Or just Moreno to Azpi but then I have 3 Chelsea with no Arsenal or Everton coverage.
None of them. Save.
Because Moreno has QPR?
What site is currently has the most accurate price changing info ? Fiso or any others thx !
Fiso for drops, fplstatistics for risers.
Shawcross, Fabregas, Tadic to Azpilicueta, ADM, Chadli + 1m. -4.
Leaves me with Ivano, Azpi, Costa as 3 Chelsea.
Yay or nay?Don't bring in Chadli just yet, wait a week.
Fab and Tadic have plum fixtures next gw.
I'll stick for now.
Best 9.0m midfield for next GW?
Sterling
Sterling has qpr next
Question on Di Maria stats. Are the Falcao and Mata assists credited as Chances Created or Shots off target. Or both?
Similar question but the goal against QPR. Shot on Target or Chance Created?His assist to Herrera's goal vs Leicester was also a shot... seems like its the only way he gets assists
