With West Brom and Man United set to see out the Gameweek tomorrow, we delve into the data from the nine matches played so far. Unsurprisingly, Man City, Southampton and West Ham’s in-form front men are on this evening’s agenda, whilst we also cast an eye over a couple of improving north London-based midfielders.
Any option that involves selling Costa isn't worth it IMO. Get in Aguero some other way
Have to forget Aguero if no other way, I just have. Pointless moving Costa out for him.
Don't sell costa unless you're sure he's injured. Find a way to have both.
Really want Eriksen but really no space for him
i got chadli instead and i am so sad.
Stuck with him for a while. Obv he starts scoring as soon as I sell.
Costa, Siggy > Lukaku Eriksen. mmmmmmmmm
wtf...
Was looking at Costa -> Lukakakakakaku with his fixtures as well, but I think Costa will be back next week.
Which 2 do you prefer?
1) Tadic and Jagielka
2) Baines and downing2
Tough call, probably 2, jags very flukey to score twice in three games. That's his season quota done!
yeah I'm more banking on Everton grabbing a few CSs over the next few. Not sure thats very likely with what we have seen so far
Who captained Tadic
Someone very brave. Yes the Scout have been talking him up for a few weeks but the points haven't reflected it.. until this week!
Just done Shawcross & Costa to Pella & Baines for a rare hit and pocketed 1.3m.
Both have amazing fixtures and are bang in form for teams on the up. Had a bit of fear about losing costa but even if he bags the odd goal in the next few tough fixtures I can't see him bagging braces or more.Kaboul or Rose?
Rose
I went with rose
Rosé. So much nicer on the terrace, this Autumn! 😉
Who was the ref for the Swansea Stoke game today?
In any case, Skrtel should be scared if he refs a Liverpool game. Skrtel always gets away with worse fouls than Shawcross got today.
Oliver
So many midfielders to choose from:
Eriksen, Fabregas, Sterling, Siggy, Chadli, Tadic, ADM
Dammit!Makes the game much more entertaining than the Yaya/Ramsey/Hazard stuff last year
Walcott, Silva, Lallana, Hazard, Sanchez, Barkley....
Lallana?
Members I implore you to check out Eriksen's goal threat over the last two weeks. He's going straight in.
😀
But, who to sell?
Fab, ADM, Sterl?no,no and no 🙂
for who. I have ADM,Sterling, Hazard. I wish he was the same price as siggy
You just gave it all to non members and in my opinion should be banned immediately.
Haha
It's very easy to see if you watch the games (or use Squawka...) 😛Really? Didn't expect that response. Sorry if I annoyed you. I don't think I gave much away, he has after all scored in the last 2 weeks.
He's pulling your mane. 🙂
I hope so, I'm a lovely horse really. I would prefer if he pulled on my Tadic.
tadic to eriksen?
Alright well I don't exactly know for who. Pretty much all my gambles have come off this season so I'll watch the Man U game and decide, but even with the arguments presented to keep ADM, probably him due to fixtures.
Bottom of page, Advice on this please?
Krul(Elliot)
Baines/Clyne/Moreno(Hutton)(Wisdom)
Siggy/Tadic/Sterling/ADM/Fab
Pelle/Costa(Wood)
I have two issues.
1) Getting rid of Moreno, doubling up on Everton defence, bringing in Coleman?
2) Either Costa > Aguero or Wood > Berahino/Sakho and ADM > Barkley
Dropping ADM for Barkley is a bit nuts, considering Barkley hasn't made a move for points yet..regardless of whether it helps you get Aguero in.
You seem a bit knee jerky...you have a solid team there, Moreno aside.
I was always going to get either Barkley or Walcott in though.
Just done Ulloa and Ivan -> Pelle and Baines. realy happ with those moves. Think baines will quite easily outscore Ivan over the coming weeks.
Ivan's stats fell off a cliff after week three, it's like he doesn't attack anymore!!!The last 3 seasons IVA has been exactly the same. I captained him 1st game week last season in a double game week 🙂
repost: bottom of last page:
Lots of people asking about Costa. I have done some research.
Marca reported Costa as being "rested"in their match report. Have also read this a few times from sources on twitter.
Jose has not said Costa is injured, Chelsea have not reported him as injured.
"Costa isn't injured. He can play. Jose wants to rest him for two weeks to prevent a future injury. Found this and Maribor games ideal."
This is a quote from a Chelsea fan on twitter who is followed by some journos that may give it some weight. (Ben Dinnery has also said the same thing but I am sure this guy just does research on twitter and google like I have done)
I know it is nothing concrete but thought I would share anyway so please don't shoot me down in flames for not having proper official sources other than the Marca comment. I believe he will play against UtdOf course he will play against United..
Great work. Thanks +1
thats what the general consensus on here i think aswell. He might have had a knock but Jose has decided to give him a weeks rest because hes always banging on about doing it
mou: “I say Maribor, no chance; Man United, very little – but very little,”
admittedly a manager isnt as reliable as some random bloke on twitter
Jose is probably less reliable!
The point i'm trying to make is there is a chance for him to play that is all.
coupled with friday just looks like a classic case of hoping out loud
people were asking the question so i thought I would share. as my OP said i know it is nothing concrete. Of course I do hope as will many others. The reason I spend time looking for information is because I hope.
This throws a spanner in the works,
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/chelsea-vs-maribor-jose-mourinho-faces-big-dates-without-diego-costa-9804937.htmlagain does not say he is injured.
Well he ain't on holiday.
the debate is rest v injury.
where you the guy that was bullying people on friday night about Costa starting?
Were*
certainly not
apologies then
nope, my only comments were a video with Costa training on Thursday. Never once told anyone to play anyone
Any chance of Sterling being given the other assist nah? Been working all day and only just got back in apologies if this has already been discusses
Nothing to see here. One clear assist and two clear cases of assisting the assister.
? none of the assists were contencious
This is my only question for this week guys
Captain? Aguero or SiggyAguero
You smoking grass?
Im 1488 overall but lol im still happy.. Still think Siggy will outscore Kun
To me he isn't a captaincy option that I'd considered maybe that makes me blinkered.
The stats speak for themselves. Aguero
siggy arguably better at home than aguero is away
Kun has scored in every away League game this season, and will probably continue....
Done it for me. Thanks lads. Aggy it is.
Stats aside, its still nice to hear a consensus.
Kun
Chambers is the best defender for 4.6 or less isn't he
should be on paper, but arsenal defence not exactly inspiring confidence. they need rid of mertesacker imo
They're all as bad as each other, including chambers.
Your hating the cheapies I'm sitting looking at my back 7 in tears at how shite they are lol
It was a good tactic at the start but there's value in a decent one now I think. You still got a wc?
Aw yeah. I'm keeping the wildcard a while yet I'm in no rush to use that.
No...11th on this list carries a bigger goal threat, fewer cards and good fixtures ...http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/3832/
Click the ICT threat and he goes up to third with a game in hand...plus good fixtures.
The one below him has a decent volley on him as well
Thanks ,
Opinions on this if anyones got a minute
A. Ulloa > Sahko
B. Ulloa > Berahino
C. Downing > Boyd
Ulloa > Welbeck
includes a -4
Rest of team
Forster (Hamer)
Clyne - Baines - Azpil (Naylor, Duff)
Sterling - Siggy - ADM - Fab (Downing)
Costa - Pelle - Ulloa
A
Downing > Boyd for me
A on form id say
I cant get Aguero in without dropping two of Sterling/Fabregas/Ivan
Biggest headache I have ever had playing this game. I think I will have to leave it this week and reassess next week. Logical?Good time to get rid of Ivan though.
Don't know about that, he's still up there with the attacking stats and is going up against some leaky defences.
I thought his goal threat had dropped ? No?
I'm not a member but I remember someone saying he was still up there yesterday. If it has dropped I might sell..
Next week aginst Wham looks like a pretty big Aguero outing. I'd say get him. Why do you have to drop two?
Because there's too much money tied up in the defence and midfield.
Krul
Baines Clyne Ivan
Sterling Di Maria Fabregas Siggy
Costa Welbeck Pele
Holding costa?
Certainly. People are bonkers to sell him
Selling Fabregas makes me feel sick. I really can't bring myself to it... ADM is hard to sell as well.
Would you do:
Moreno to Jag (save 1 ft)
Moreno + Fab to Baines + Eriksen
Moreno + ADM to Baines + Eriksen
Tough oneA, IMO. If it ain't broke...
B will score more.
who scores more over the next 4 games?
1) Tadic
2) Eriksen
barkley cheaper then both
Likely to score less also.
Eriksen imo
Repost
Foster - Mannone
Clyne - Chambers - Naylor - Hutton - Moore
ADM - Fab - Sterling - Siggy - Boyd
Costa - Aguero - Pelle
2 FTs, nothing itb
Was thinking of doing Naylor -> Jagielka and Sterling -> Eriksen
Already have Pelle so I don't think getting in Tadic as well is wise.
Good moves?
Not my cup of tea, getting rid of Sterling is a horrible move imo.
And getting rid of Naylor when next game is LEI doesn't sound wise either.
I would do Mannone > 4.0, probably will get dropped and Foster has good fixtures except in GW 12 & 13 were Mannone doesn't help at all. And save the other FT. Good team!
who are non-aguero owners going to captain next week?
Pelle or Welbeck
Baines
Chester -> Baines now or wait?
For free?
yes
Looks good!
late now, price unlikely to rise soon.
I am doing my best with transfers later and still stuck in the middle.
Last week I brought Downing for 8pts
This week I bought Baines for 15pts
Before that I brought Pelle for his 9pts against QPR
I surely deserve more upturn in the ranking no?
Of course you do.
Not if the rest of your team is shite.
lol
Rest of the team is great, I have 8 from 11 in dream team I beg your pardon
You have Lamela. 'Nuff said! 😛 😉
Shearer sticking up for diving as usual.
he was a bit wasn't he. moses is a disgrace. any allowance for his dive just encourages others
Costa > Aguero could work if you can't afford both in your team or don't want to take hits. It all depends on your front 3 and who can 'cover' Costa's points in the next few. Personally I think a frontline of Aguero, Pelle, Welbeck would be a good way forward due to form and fixtures. Can save up those precious transfers and react to the games ahead.
Thoughts?no one is essetial so you could do that but seems silly to lose costa for man u and qpr
Jose says he has very little chance for Sunday, but we'll see. I just ditched costa and it was tough, but this is the 2nd niggly injury of the season already. The thought of him missing odd games with CL fixtures and injuries makes it easier to come to terms with
Anyone who sells Costa for Aguero is mental
Why?
Because he will play vs United. We've all been here before with JM. Also people would just be scampering to get him back vs QPR.
Not if they did it last Friday.
I did that and I am fecking menthal . 😉 😛
It wasn't mental v Spurs.
Totally agree. Costa is not "essential," especially when Mour won't play him. The best imaginable front line, when Costa is playing, includes Costa and Aguero. But that does not mean that no front line can match it in points, especially if the savings lead to points elsewhere in the team.
I like your thinking 😉
It really depends, can any of the Chelsea midfielders rival Costa? If so then getting rid of him may be profitable, but Costa clearly comes with a fear factor given his ownership and therefore heavy captaincy. Huge risk without the reward to go for it in my opinion.
Larsson out for Downing or Barkley? or anyone below 7.3?
Chadli
Is Costa -> Pelle worth a -4? I think the 3 week reports might not be far wide of the mark and Pelle seems like almost as good a shout anyway, not to mention the price rises.
You have to wait for more news
I guess you're right. I'm just sceptical that any news we get will be of much truth / worth and I'm not keen on missing out on Pelle's increase in price much more
Things could become clearer after Maribor. I take your point though
F***ing hate Apple's advertising to the retards in society.
iPhone 5/5s KEY advert - Look at this, your thumb can go from here to here, it's so convenient
iPhone 6/6+ KEY advert - Look, it's HUGE, so HUGE, it's amazing.
Truth is, they are a cult - or bandwagon. They are pretty much the same as Samsung/HTC but seem to cost about £250/£350 more over 2 years.
Was looking at them. But HTC One M8 it is for me, sexy phone.They are not the same. Really.
I guess so, Android are better 😉
You carry on, mate.
if you hate someone because they are succesfull , says more about you.
Not sure how you drew that conclusion from my comment.
Logs off...grrrr...
Your top line is really uncalled for.
Would Tadic + Baines consistently outscore Fabregas + Jagielka?
That's the dilemma I face.no. of course not
I meant Eriksen + Baines...
still. fabregas WILL be a consistent points scorer throughout league.
I reckon so
9 years, 8 months agoA. Chester to 4.1 defender(won't play for a few weeks) and Costa to Aguero(-4)
B. Hazard to Eriksen/Chadli and Costa to Aguero(-4)
C. Sterling to Eriksen/Chadli and Costa to Aguero(-4)
D. Forget about Aguero
