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.
Do I need to use my WC?
Ivanovic Bertrand Colocinni Lovren Bruce
ADM siggy Fab Sterling Ahmadi
Pelle Costa UlloaTo get in Kun that is..
No
Heaton (McGregor)
Ivanovic Bertrand Moreno Naylor Duff
ADM Sterling Fabregas Siggy Arfield
Costa Pelle Welbeck
This week: Mcgregor, Fab ----> Guzan, Chadli in time for good fixtures this GW.
Next week: Welbeck, Arfield -----> Aguero, Obertan
OR
Next week: Welbeck, Moreno -----> Aguero, Hutton
What's the verdict???Only hit would be -4 next week.
Trying to get Aguero for GW10 vs qpr.
1 -miralas to chadli for free
2 - miralas and begovic to eriksen and guzan for -4
?option 3 - miralas to barkley
option 3 i think. Probably bringing in barkley myself for downing
Barley is an fpl tease, looks good very rarely delivers the points. Look at his history
thats my fear - while eriksen is always up to something
Is my best move to save my 1FT?
____________Mannone_____________
Baines______Chambers________Clyne
Fabregas_Sterling__DiMaria_Sigurdsson
Aguero______Welbeck_________Costa
Subs:
Elliot, Wisdom, Hutton, Boyd
Save unless you want S'ton attackers.
Mannone to Foster, maybe?
The funny thing is that Aguero's stats at home this season had been far inferior to his away numbers. That's why small samples can be so deceiving. His double digit shots yesterday will complete flip that around.
This is his big season.
I can see 30 goals. Pellegrini is managing him well. He has figured out how to get the best out of Kun.
Check the guy on previous page.
4th in the world, 96 points + boyd + ADM this week and...
he doesn't own aguero!!!!!!
UCL Fantasy.
Who is the better option on paper?
A) Koke (8 pts)
B) Gerrard (10 pts)
C) Modric (7 pts)
D) Carzola (4 pts)
E) Kagawa (6 pts)
F) Pogba (5 pts)
G) Sterling (3 pts)
Cheers.
Koke
Why am I leaning towards Modric?
I have 2 FT's.
I am doing:
Siggy to Tadic
&
Lovren to 4.6m?
Is there anyone better than Chambers at that price or below? I know Arsenal are struggling with injuries but who else is a decent cheap pick?
Vlaar
Hutton.
Schlupp
1st thought is, keep Siggy.
2nd thought is if you're chasing you need to do some bold moves. Tadic is a good move although I would want both..
Hutton, Chambers, Wisdom/Dawson, Colo, PVA, Wilson are all alternatives. I'd say the first 3 are the best for now.
How's chadli looked lately? Can't afford eriksen unfortunately!
I barely noticed him playing against City
I know it isn't an exact science, but assuming there is a normal number of DGWs...
How much do you think a wildcard in hand is worth at this stage, in terms of points?
30ish
I'd take that!
Then again, you can make 8 transfers for 28 points anyway, so your number is possibly a bit high since there are a few you'd keep regardless.As TM says, it all depends on when. Perfect timing would be a shake up in fixtures and form from 2 or 3 teams. Non wcers could keep up.
imagine innjuries + DGW...WC is quite a plus at that moment...thats why I am saving mine this time
30 at most. Depends on the week. This week it worked.
I don't like this Costa thing...people without Aguero will get easy swap now 🙁
At least most will need to take a hit and if Costa is back against QPR, maybe another hit then.
Scary part is that if he doesn't feature against united, his price will plummet and it will be risky
to captain him against QPR (possible cameo if no football in two weeks).
Just worry about your own team
Or...
Everyone else swaps him out, gets aguero, then when costa comes back they swap again and in the process lose something like 0.5m even I they had him from gw1! Don't worry about others, focus on how to get the most points yourself and the rest will take care of itself
People who are rushing to get Aguero in because he got lots of points. Didn't you already know he's capable of getting lots of points?
lol True!!
was my planned transfer for this week, couldn’t sell Falcao before wba for him
That's why I captained him
Is anybody considering Sterling >> Barkley to free up some funds? What is the view on Barkley?
I seem to remember barkley being a bit like wilshere. Plays alright but not enough end product for FF
Which decent priced mid would you go for? Eriksen perhaps but he's a bit pricier?
Eriksen is pricey (8ish). There's Chadli, Downing, Schneiderlin.
I have Downing and keeping for now. He has improved a lot from last season in terms of productivity. Of course, Barkley could do too but I'd monitor him first.
Downing to barkley im doing
That he is a rotation risk and was a bit of an assist the assister last season. Sterling stills looks good and has fixtures to match. I'd hold on to him.
I'm still keeping Sterling...thinking Silva --> Barkley
No. Sterling is great. Why would you offload him of all people?
Early transfer question.
Team at the moment:
Mannone
Baines, Bertrand, Rose, Hutton
ADM, Fab, Siggy
Costa, Aguero, Pelle
Bench: Krul, Downing, Jedinak, Duff
If Costa is fit should I Mannone/Krul -> Fosterwhy not just save the transfer...
Poor fixtures on my goalkeepers
I would do that. Mannone may lose his spot and Krul is poor...
Selling Costa allows me to upgrade Chester to Baines without a hit.
And I get Pelle in with the bargain. What's not to like?
It's a good bet Baines and Pelle will outscore Costa and Chester this year.
And I won't have to deal with the weekly hamstring drama 🙂go for it.
Looking at his fixtures in the long term I wouldn't swap him. Price means it's difficult to get him back plus a few hits might also be needed. Baines and Pelle's fixtures dry up soon enough. Costa & Aguero are the only season keepers in my book.
I'm in the same boat and debating. (Aguero owner)
Aguero related post
I agree
Krul, Mannone
Baines, Terry, Clyne (Dummett moore)
Hazard, ADM, Sterling, Siggy (ElAhmadi)
Costa, Welbz, Pelle
Pretty template team I know..
Considering Costa is potentially injured for a game or two, and considering their fixtures over those next few are tough, and Considering ADM has 3 v tough fixtures in next 4... Is this a good move?
ADM and Costa --> AGUERO and Tadic?
What would you do instead.. 0 ITB and only 1ftKeep ADM.
Just Costa->Aguero and downgrade Terry..
Who would you rather have for the next three?
Fabregas - Man United (away), QPR (home), Liverpool (away)
or
Sanchez - Sunderland (away), Burnley (home), Swansea (away)Sanchez
3.9k at the moment with ADM, DDG and Duff off the bench. Big drop expected?
Very likely.
Doubt you'll drop significantly.
Though there's the captaincy issue... Yeah so probably.
Huh?
Three players to come in, surely you'll rise?VC issue...
Quality over quantity. Nearly everyone has 2 left. DDG is his differential.
Most beat ADM + 1 with their 2 and the vc situation on top of that.
somewhat big
If Man U keep a clean sheet you won't drop too much.
I wouldn't say that big going to go out on a limb here and say 8-10k would you take that?
Considering I was 25k at the start of the GW, I would!
That's the spirit!
You gotta take a green arrow every week as your goal!
So you have 3 players coming in? you should be fine I'd say, a minor drop at worst.
Going from 200k too 210k is a Minor drop. What is a Minor drop for people in the top 10k?
15k
As you are 3.9k I think if you are 6k at the end of the round that would be a minor drop considering how tight it is up there.
New plan
Bego
Hutton Chambers Moore Clyne Duff
Siggy Sterling Fab ADM Boyd
Aguero Costa Welbeck
this for -8
Bego > Guzan
Moore > Baines
Fabregas > Tadic
Genius or madness? I'm 16K and top in my ML by 21 pointsPS nobody else has Tadic or Baines
Bego --> Guzan for a hit is a waste of a transfer..
need to free the money up if I want to get Baines
Thing Jags is just a flash in the pan? Or more big points coming
He is probably doing it to have funds for Baines
This, the other sound good. If you don't need funds from 1st trade i.e.
I will be doing this same transfer but only because I have two free and nothing else to use them on. Ah, the luxury!
nah
personally would just do Guzan and Tadic if you must. Baines the week after.
Arsenal back five against Anderlecht, probably.
-----------------Martinez
-Bellerin--Chambers--Mertesacker--Gibbs
Three of these five have a combined number of 19 appearances for Arsenal.
Time to get Anderlecht attackers in your team. 😉Agree-let me down badly this weekend in LMS 🙁
Why isn't Martinez on UCL Fantasy? 🙁
The bandwagon is so full this week it may tip over.
it always is, but some are worth jumping on!
Nah there are a lot of bandwagons that are surprisingly empty. Where is the Coleman bandwagon for example? I'm one of the few on it!
I'd love Coleman but I feel Baines is worth the extra .2.
Exactly, that is why his bandwagon is so empty. I am going with both.
I wish I could afford that.
There is a convoy of bandwagons
Will the slower price rises give a greater advantage to hit-taking transfer hogs that focus on team value?
It isn't that bad these days.
Yes
If you are heavily focussing on something with diminished importance then isn't that a bad thing?
i don't know... saw someone with a pretty good OR already concerned that their team value is adrift of others and its impacting his options
i understand the sentiment, but when we're often holding players for weeks to squeeze at .1 gains (which means you gained nothing in team value when you transfer them again), having the right players that are going up in TV may be of greater benefit later in the season (for those who can become more disciplined about transfers as the season progresses)Maybe. I guess it depends on your approach. I like having a few good value players rather than squeezing in all the big names.
I'm not sure myself. I'm just playing the way I have fun and rolling with it.
More curious how this pricing system change impacts how others do. Moves are so slow, then sudden.
Anyone thinking Everton might use
Barkley and Lukaku for PL,
&
Etoo and Naismith for Europa?
Because they are currently 13th in PL and they need to win all the relatively easy fixtures to gain their ranking..Yeah. That was probably their plan from the beginning till Barkley got injured
Nah doubt it.
Lineup on Saturday when everyone is fit is about right I think.They seem to play their full-strength team in Europa though 😕
hmm..coming Europa game will make things clear...If they do play full strength team..owning an Everton player is slightly risky then..
Champions league place up for grabs to the winners. If they continue with full strength teams in EL, think that's a signal of intent from Martinez. More chance in EL than breaking top 4
Jumped to 22k from 48k in overall rank. I don't have Aguero and a lot of people have him as vice captain coming in. Think I can still get a green arrow?
Small green perhaps.
You should.
Cheers
Did everyone catch the 2 most idiotic own goals in a single game?
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/soccer-dirty-tackle/sunderland-defender-scores-perfectly-taken-own-goal-154931702.html
Really want Falcao to come good tonight..I don't have him but it'd be good to throw a cat in amongst the pigeons....Going to have to improve a bit though.
Jumped from 180k to 5k this weekend. Just shows that its still very tight in the top 300k or so and picking the right captain seems vital.
Its a Marathon not a snickers.
wow..great score! mine only from 133k to 18k, with boyd and adm to come
The guy that got the Best score after the first day in this GW went from 2.2M to 150k
😯
Wow nice I also went up from 35k to 3k with ADM to come but this will change slightly once all the Aguero VC points come in
Same. 170k to 4k now. With wisdom n adm left i wonder where i will be after the gw. Will be happy with 15k
Who is best Everton player (fpl-wise) who isn't a defender?
Lukaku and Barkley. Given wealth of striking options I'd go Barkley
tough one
Mirallas (when back to health), Barkley & Naismith are all relatively cheap, but will all be rotated periodically to accommodate all players getting starts, Europa, etc.
Lukaku will get his points but I think he may be a little over-priced for what you get
be advised that Martinez has a strict policy that if a player scores in a game, they start the next game, keeps both subs and starters quite motivated
Everton fanMirallas imo
So only Di Maria blank can keep us nicely rank ? 🙂
Costa cameo.
Yep. Really hope he blanks
