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.
Lads- ivanovic and costa out for Coleman and Aguero in....? What u reckon? Cheers
Got Baines?
No- current team
Foster Schmeichel
Ivan/ Craig Dawson / Bertrand / chambers/ duff
Siggy/fabregas/downing/sterling/tadic
Costa/welbeck/pelle
lost at the bottom
Considering some options before next week
A) Krul > forster
B) Terry > Baines/Ivan
C) Get rid of welbeck and take some hits to get Kun alongside pellet and costa*pelle
Southampton start a terrible run of fixtures in a few weeks time so I wouldn't bother bringing Forster in for Krul. If you're going to get a keeper now it should at least be someone with decent fixtures until the January WC.
villa's run is looking pretty good isn't it? especially with vlaar back, do you guzan is viable?
Yep, Guzan is the best bet for around Krul's price.
This injury doubt will hang over Costa all season!
You never be sure when captaining him
Costa is the new Kun 😀
When people say wait for Costa news, what news? We never know till match day either way,
Need a new keeper, 5.0 to spend but hoping to find cheaper alternative. Fixturewise, Leicester and Villa look nice, but i`d basically be very surprised if any of them could find a cleanie at this point. Thoughts/tips?
I'd go guzan, personally
If there is one position where you will likely get what you pay for it is at keeper in this game.
WBA look good for the next 3 and theyre pretty tight (few chances conceded), but the idea of changing keepers again after 3 games doesnt really appeal that much
Guzan. Villa have just ended a bad run of fixtures and were defensively solid in the first few games before said fixtures so they should be able to get a few clean sheets.
Their fixtures arent really THAT good, and they look absolutely horrible at the moment. Might just go with Forster and double up on Soton for the next month.
Forster's 5.1 isn't he? I was working on the assumption you couldn't afford him
Oh, feck. Thought he was 5.0. I have nothing in the bank and Begovic at 5.0 is the one going. Theres really not a lot of lucrative keeper choices atm, unless you go big. Heres to hoping Greens sick another week then.
Sterling, Moreno, Bego > Erickson, Baines, Guzan for -4?
Would be first hit of the season....yes no?
Funny, those are the 3 players I'm targeting too.
Although, I've got Sterling slotted in for the season.
2bp's on a dodgy assist... yes please.Eriksen (not Ericksen) isnt worth the hit over Sterling.
never take a hit for a keeper...
McCarthy owners, how did he do against liverpool? Is this his chance to claim the spot with Green missing that game?
I watched only the second half but he looked good to me. He was confident in coming out to claim the ball when he needed to and made a decent stop or two by my eye. Seemed pretty quality to me.
Not at fault for any of the goals, made a decent save on Lallanas shot but the rebound was in a dangerous area, not sure about him keeping his place as Green only was sick, not injured. Hoping he will as i actually have him, but honestly dont think he will.
Two own goals scored on him. Green will probably get his spot back.
Lol neither of those were his fault
That's the point. Hard to judge him off that performance. I don't think Green will get dropped again but who knows...
I too think Green will slot back in once hes fully fit. McCarthy did nothing wrong, and nothing really stood out. Keepers tend to lose their place only through injury and a string of poor performances.
I have Costa, Pelle and Welbeck...don't know who to drop for Aguero. Such a headache!
Ideally Costa will be the best to drop but Palace at home is such a great fixture.
Drop Costa now and get him back when Pellè/Saints' awful fixtures start.
Yeah Costa has good fixtures when Pelle's aren't so great in a few GWs. Good call.
Siggy --> Chadli, or should I wait until GW 10 when Swansea's fixtures take a turn for the worse?
Wait one more GW.
Thanks, probably the wisest thing to do.
wait
Best option to get Baines:
A) Cahill+Kaboul to Baines+Duff
B) Cahill+Sterling to Baines+Eriksen
C) Cahill+Fab to Baines+Eriksen
D) Cahill+Welbeck to Baines+Sakho
E) Cahill+Kaboul+Begovic to Baines+Chambers+Manonne
Baring in mind that I want to get Walcott when he becomes a starter (We might have a few weeks to wait)A
Not sure what to do. Need to upgrade DEF somewhere. Got 2 FT's. Suggestions?
Forster Gilks
Moore Wisdom Hutton Wilson Pva
Eriksen Sterling Silva ADM Marney
Costa Pelle AgueroLove Silva but with Aguero in your side I would downgrade him
Tadic or someone else?
How about Eriksen?
Got him.
Ideas to free up funds: Forster > Guzan (Southampton's fixtures plummet in a few weeks) or downgrade one of Silva/Sterling for someone like Tadic/Siggy/Barkley.
Upgrading defense is a bit more difficult as the best options are either very expensive or of the bargain basement variety. I'd look at getting rid of PvA first given his fixtures and the hammering they took yesterday.
Hey lads, team is;
Vito | Krul
Cahil | Berty | Duff | Dummett | Yoshi
Cesc | Schneiderlin | Siggy | Sterling | 4.5
Costa | Kun | Naismisth
2 FT, 3.2 ITB
Would you do,
Cahil, Yoshi, Nais to:
a. Baines, Chambers, Welbeck
b. Pelle, Wisdom (have to do before prices rises)
c. other?
I think you should ditch Costa and Kun and sign this dynamic duo instead https://twitter.com/EurosportCom_EN/status/477719824953786368/photo/1
How to squeeze Baines in here?
Clyne, Moreno, Cahill, Wisdom, PvA + 0.2ITB and 2FTI`d lose Moreno
Moreno & Cahill to Baines & Chambers?
Thanks. Hadn't thought of Chambers.
Is a straight swap from Sigurdsson to Tadic worthwhile?
Too knee-jerky?
Yes Sigurdsson has Leicester next, but fixtures really sour thereafter (eve ARS mci).I`d keep Siggy this week and ship after
I would do that swap right now.
Lukaku and Silva to Aguero & a mid < 8.1 (maybe Barkley) for a 4 point hit thoughts
With Eriksen, I think that's a great transfer.
Already have Erik 🙂
Ha! Nice.
Sort out your link in that case.
What about Tadic?
Baines or Coleman
Which 1 of these 2 will i bring in?Baines because he take penalties and a lot of free kicks
Auto Complete says Baines
Waiting to see how this week pans out (with injuries and whatnot) but the plan right now is:
Costa>Aguero
Di Maria>Ramsey
Week after:
Sigurdsson>Eriksen
Thinking of abandoning my double SOT defense to bring Tadic in for 3 weeks before bringing in Wally.
Clyne Ox -> Hutton Tadic (-4)Post GW13 looks ugly for the SOT def so, getting a head start ain't all bad.
Although, their form & fixtures are hard to ignore.
Would you take a -8 if it means you are bringing in Baines, Aguero and Pelle?
No.
If you have a time machine and are going back to before gw8, then yes.
Otherwise, it is hard to say whether it will pay off. What players would you drop?Who are you getting rid of & are you captaining Aguero?
With this weeks fixtures I would prioritise Baines, Aguero then Pelle. I wouldn't risk it personally, but if you have to do all 3 at once I could see it paying of by this weekend. Depends who you are taking out too of course
Dropping Caulker, Ulloa and Costa or Falcao.
i started PVA this week. it was him or robertson and i'd already used my free on a blackett-jag upgrade (which i suppose might go some way to tinting my perception.) -2 in an 8 nil loss is kinda not terrible. it really could very easily have been worse. look at today's own-goal fest. red card for someone on the receiving end of such a demolition wud also have been unsurprising.
I've got PvA coming in for Moreno.
I sold PVA this week Kiwi. Don't see the point in getting him with upcoming fixtures. Better out there at that price bracket surely....
@ O'Shaghnessy:
Nice week. And great season so far. Congrats on being #1 in Canada. Keep it up!
Nice. I'm 30th in Australia in UFPL!
Wow. Just looked at his OR -- go for it all, man!
Mentioned last night that the DZ is easily the best time to be on the site.
Arguing here is a big part of why we all excel.
Tempered excitement though, with all the Costa-captainers & auto-subs yet to be factored in.
Oh, & let's not forget ADM & RVP yet to play...
Nice! I'd be #2 in Canada if my country was correct 😉
Why, what happened?
Where do you *live*?Guess I signed up initially years ago under England and won't let me change now sadly. I'm in the Toronto area. You?
Lived around College & Dovercourt area for years...
College & Dufferin / College & Bathurst
Nice! I'm out East in Durham. Good to know there's other fellow FPL fanatics locally though. Now I know who I'm chasing 😆
I have budget exactly for these moves. Should I do it now?
Costa + Sterling + Moreno ->> Aguero + Eriksen + Baines
Alternative is to keep Costa, but I’m doubt if any news will be available soon enough.
Welbeck + Di Maria + Moreno ->> Aguero + Milner + Baines
no
Is it because of Costa?
yes
Is baines likely to go up anytime soon?
Not today at least. Come Thursday there's a good chance I reckon
He went up last night (along with Tadic & Aguero). Even with the rush to get them, they should only rise once more this week.
Morning DZ.
I ended up with Sterling and StevieG and I want to ship one now for Tadic... Seems like chasing points but he is still a huge differential atm that could help me go up in OR
What you guys think?Gerrard to Tadic is a great transfer imo.
Was thinking of keeping StevieG as a differential as well 😉 and selling Sterling for Tadic but he keeps on getting points!
Do you guys think that Sterling might get rest more often from now on.. Pool in CL and most of midfield players back from injuriesAm confused on what to do as well. Hopefully some more will be known after the midweek matches...
Not a wise plan imo. Sterling is dominating the stats for midfielders and will always play in a more advanced position.
Yeah that's what I'm worried about, I think I have at least a day or two more to decide before Tadic will rise again?
I'd sell StevieG. Sterling is more than enough
Is Chadli -> Tadic a good move or a bit too knee-jerky?
Bit of a knee-jerk reaction. Chadlii was playing against Citeh after all and Saints won't win 8-0 every week.
Yeah, I thought as much. Thanks Ryan.
Knee jerk
Don't do it
PvA and Siggy --> Jags and Downing for free look good to you guys?
No I don't like that trade. I don't think Jags is worth the price and Downing has started to drop off slightly. I also think its a week too soon to get rid of Siggy. Maybe just sell PVA?
Siggy is at home to Leicester next
Didn't mean it as a reply
Yep, thats why its a good idea to keep him for that fixture.
Prob is I have no one to replace him with. I'm just reaching for moves right now. I even thought about selling Sterling and PaV for Baines and downing.... I'll try to squeez some value from hutton.
Siggy still have ok fixtures to keep. Jags and Downing are not urgent buy.
tx guys. I have 2FT but can't really bring in the players I want right now.
best option?
1.sterling - clyne
2.tadic - Jags/or Kompany
*rest of def for bth above: baines - bert1
1
ok
Krul, Foster
Baines, Azpilicueta, Caulker, Clyne, Moore
Di Maria, Fabregas, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Boyd
Pelle, Welbeck, Costa
0.2M & 1FT
Suggestions as to what moves to make?
Easy. Caulker to Chambers. QPR are toilet and Arsenal have good fixtures coming up
Thanks
cant believe Gerrard got most bonus points this season (10) with 2 goals and just one assist
A. Chadli + pelle
B. tadic + welbeck
Which pair would you rather have?A
A
B
A
Cheers, that's what my gut says. But brain thinks welbeck better option.
B) & it's not even close for me.
Pelle & Welbeck are pretty close.
Then, I think the stats favour having Tadic over Chadli big time.
(Not to mention Tadic is on spot kicks & pens)
Which to get next week?
A Sanchez
B hazard
C admA
A
C.
C
