As always, our Sunday members’ regular delves into the data of the matches played out so far. This time around, Arsenal’s attack, Swansea’s in-form frontman, the Hammers’ raiding left-back and Southampton’s new wide man are amongst our evening assessment.
Id only ditch Sterling if it is for Hazard or Sanchez
Pool are really struggling without Studge though and we have BUR at home (don't get much better than that).
Would ideally like Sanchez, but that would mean a hefty downgrade elsewhere. I do have 2 freebies, but can't see an obvious move.
Any ideas?
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/7412/event-history/9/Arsenal are struggling as well, it's really only Sanchez then the rest. Trying to find a way myself so im not help 🙂
True. An Aguero 3 match ban would have been ideal.
Your trying to hard , you need to wait for a eureka moment
I almost want Costa/Aguero to get ruled out!
i have ramsey in my team...should i keep him??....i m worried about his game time...he ruined my this week also by playing 3 min
If you kept him this long, why get rid of him when he's finally back to full fitness?
Yeah, I was waiting for this last night, but he didn't drop. Hopefully tonight.
Reply fail.
Bottomed out...
What's everyone's all PL team ATM?
For me...
DDG
Coleman Kompany Terry Baines
Schneiderlin Ramsey
Silva Fabregas AdM
AgueroNeeds more Sanchez. You'd be soiling yourself over him if he was playing for United
I really wouldn't be. Tailor made for you lot.
Not really - he's a class above Arsenals "lot" at the moment.
Nah. I do rate him don't get me wrong. But you lot are overrating him because you're not used to attackers who actually work hard. Ramsey is a far more important player for you though. If you put in that peformance against a top side Sanchez nets you nothing and you lose.
Im not used to attackers working hard? Youre right, I only ever watch Arsenal.
Serves my point that. 😆
/sarcasm
Except we didn't put in that performance against a top side.
Comparing how one performs in different games is idiotic.
We're definitely struggling right now - but we have about 8 first team players injured, it's expected. Looking like crap but we needed a couple of wins to pull us out of the rut - which we've gotten now. I'm expecting the side to start picking things up now, especially with Walcott coming back.
Solid. Much as I love Ramsey, based on the season so far, I'd have to slot Matic in ahead of him.
He's twice the player Matic is though. Not all about form.
Maybe Schnerderlin to Costa and Coleman to Clyne. Pretty much agree

Ownership - 0.02%
Last 2 GW Points: 8, 4
Price: 6.3mOn the bench when Herrera returns?
He is playing decent..if he performs well against City and Arsenal..who knows..
Got 52 in tough GW .... Sanchez punt paid and saved me in the last two weeks.. so whats up with the scores guys
Your thoughts on this please. I'm considering:
1. ADM to Sanchez (with aim to bring back ADM within a few weeks) or
2. Sterling and Siggy to Sanchez and Boyd (Downing is currently my 'fifth' midfielder.
3. Neither of the above1
ADM to Sanchez looks good..
I also have Downing and Siggi which will work well in nxt 3 GWs weeks I'll be playing Downing next 3 then sell and Siggi will become my 4th mid again
I've just sold Sterling for Sanchez and thinking of Hazard to replace ADM
Is it a sign of an early midlife crisis when you spend about 300GBP on a fruit and vegetable juicer?
The juice comes out if you just squeeze 'em hard enough.
That's expensive!
You will know thats its not full mid life crisis if you use it for 2-3 weeks and then give up and now it gathers dust in a cupboard 😉
Pity Costa didn't drop last night 🙁
Morning by the way 😀
Morning Evs, what's the plan with Costa this week?
I don't have, but if fit wish I had.
If I get hit it may mean a hit.
Either for baines, or..... Errrr..... Not sure 😆
Dai Maria? No.
Grrrr.... 😡
Morning,
now Costa wont drop I guess..Evs do you have a plan?
Whats your take on all these template sales.Costa is the tricky one.
I'm kinda hoping Jose hides him until after the next international break.
Also, de Gea and lack of Southampton def/gk is hurting mePS - template sales?
I assume you mean Sterling & co ?yep they all after Sanchez and Hazard
Hazard not for me.
Fabregas is doing just fine.
I will be looking at Costa & Azpi/Courtois come gw12.
That wil be my Chelsea trio
Im thinking of doing very little, maybe just bringing Chambers in.
If Siggy is ok...
De Gea ➡ Forster.
Are you staying away from Costa v QPR?The problem is if i get him ii have to lose Pelle who seems just as dangerous.
That is why was thinking Hazard just for the QPR game. If costa plays and they go mental then at least fab and Hazard would cover itBut i will probably just get chmbers and hide behind the sofa when chelsea play
How big is your sofa ?
Keep me a spot, I'll bring the beers 🙂
Morning, mate.
I want to get Sanchez and I want to keep ADM, Sterling (as opposed to Tadic/Siggy) Baines, Costa and Aguero. It's impossible.
Well, not impossible...but I dont want a rubbish 4th mid!I could fit all of those. But I don't want him.
Ramsey 🙂
Cool
Obviously I mean for free. Can you get Sanchez/Costa for less than -8?
Not this week but why would I bring Costa in this week?
I never said you would, obviously its a lot more simple to fit them in over a number of weeks
I could fit them in with a -4 next week if I wanted but would have to sell Fabregas.
If Pelle switches to Aguero up top with Silva in behind, Milner could be a top option.
Can't have em all..how far off are you? 4th mid how rubbish 5.5 rubbish
Yeah yoy cant have them all, but the problem is I'd rather the ones I dont have over the ones I do 🙂
Havent looked at it properly yet but Id imagine around 5.5
Can't have 'em all. Sell either Sterling or Adm
Morning fellas! Any ideas what needs to be fixed first in this lot? Would it be madness to downgrade Costa before QPR to free up some cash?
Begovic
Baines, Naylor, Bertrand
Siggy, Cesc, Eriksen, Tadic
Pelle, Costa, Aguero
subs: Gilks, Chester, Rio, Cattermole
1 FT, 0.1 ITBYes it is madness as you have held him through all his drops. Wait for more news.
Naylor to Chambers?
Cheers. Could be one of the best moves I can make this week.
Nothing much wrong - wait on injury news or Rio to Chambers.
Can't do straight Rio - Chambers swap. Pity.
sterling, siggy => sanchez, downing?
Forster (McCarthy)
Chambers Baines Clyne (Moore Naylor)
SIGGY ADM Sterling Fabs (Boyd)
Aguero Welbeck Pelle
1FT, 1.0
Yes !
It is for a hit tho...
Not the week to get rid of Sterling. I would rather do ADM to Sanchez that's it
those selling siggy don't seem to be looking at his schedule 29 November to 10 January
fine by me
pretty sure the groin will be healed by then
I'll sell Chadli for him in 3 weeks when their fixtures turn 🙂
Chadli--->Fab?
Sig.
I can buy him back for the same price i sold him las night 😉
I'm holding if he is declared fit. I expect him to get something against both Everton and Arsenal
thanks for the interesting set of responses lads and ladies
Points prediction. Chelsea - QPR
1. Diego Costa
2. Hazard
3. Fabregas
My are: 5, 15, 7
6, 2, 9
0, 11, 3
No way Hazard will get more than 3pts *Proud Hazard Owner* 😥
Cant be so unlucky
Oscar anyone?
Hazard is insane
Nah.
Fab is all you need (and a fit Diego of course)Hard to see past Fab, especially at original price of 9.0m
Is it worth buying Fab for 9.7 though Evs?
Trickier choice.
Who would be his competition at that price for you ?Current front 8 is
ADM - Sterling - Siggy - Chadli - Boyd
Aguero - Pelle - Welbeck
5.1 ITB.
The plan was Sterling and Siggy > Sanchez and Hazard but I'm 0.1 short now. I could get Fab (or Oscar and upgrade a defender next week) instead of Hazard OR I could just hold Sterling...Fabregas.
Look at his stats.
I bet he's hurting you?Not really. Sold him 2 weeks ago to get Baines (alongside Kun and Costa at the time). Baines has out scored him 22-14 in that time so it's worked out pretty well.
Thanks as always Evs!
What if Diego isn't fit?(which he isn't)
Then.
Fab - choice 1
Haz - choice 2
How long is Remy out for?Agreed. Not sure. Sounded like he could be back this week. So short term though.
True.
But sometimes 1 or 2 week punts are the way to go.
Especially if you have no other pressing issuesTrue. I always seem to have issues though. 😆
Really? Fab over Hazard?
Yep
Why? 😆
Consistency? Almost guaranteed of points?Not laughing at your opinion btw, just that I was sorta expecting an explanation 😛 🙂
All what you said 😀
o/ Picked him for my punts article, and will do so again this week.
Top option and differential...can't affor dHazard?See my reply to Evs above. 0.1 short after Sanchez' rise today 😥
So I think I will be getting sanchez... For whom?
Sterling
ADMSterling out of that pair
Has castle up next... Dont expect any returns from ADM against city
ADM, you should hold Sterling for the Newcastle game imo
Why are people so confident Costa will play? 😕
I'm not.
If he need more recovery time, is there a better game to exploit this for an extended rest ?Seems strange that nobody is planning to sell and some are even planning to buy!
Best to wait for more news before doing either
This. Think he might return after internationals
Jose originally said mid-Nov. Was miffed off that he'd be ready for the Internationals.
Sterling > Ramsey?
A) Yes
Or
B) No?No
No interest it seems from people about bony?
Fixtures turning sour.
On my watchlist but no pressing urge to bring him in at the moment
any news on siggy??
at 7 in the morning... probably having breakfast I'd imagine
🙂
lol
😕
Get Baines.
🙄i will admit i have made a huge mistake not getting him.
have i missed his big points now though?

Stoke Southampton could be a bruising encounter
Is the basic key to Sterling that he needs a healthy Sturridge? or does he just need Balotelli to either (a) go away or (b) get a GPS locator for the net?
he is playing at wrong position...he should be no. 10
Needs Studge.
Just needs someone to not ruin every meaningful attack.
Rodgers still backing Balo. He won't be dropped I guess
A).
Forster
Clyne, Janmaat, Wilson
Di Maria, Sterling, Tadic, Chadli
Kun, Costa, Welbeck
McCarthy, Siggy, Naylor, Hutton
1ft, 0.1m
any ideas here?Siggy/Chadli > Boyd, Janmaat > Baines?
Nah that doesn't sound too good actually. You can probably save if Costa is fit...yeah im keeping my front 8 i think good cover for costa (as long as siggy is fit) and allows me to bench sig through his tough fixtures and still have him for CPL, QPR
Everyone is going on about Swansea's tough fixtures.
Ars/Eve/Citeh could easily all concede to Swans.
In fact they probably will.yeah i'm well aware it can backfire and know that those 3 defences aren't great. i'm hoping/risking that siggy blanks in them 3 so i can get an advantage on the pack
looks good..would save this week in order to have 2 ft the week next
What would you do with this lot assuming (big if) Costa is fit?
Guzan Foster
Baines Clyne Chambers Wilson Hutton
Fab Sterling Tadic Siggy Boyd
Aguero Costa Welbeck
No obvious route to Sanchez for now. 2fts.How much in the bank?
Wilson--->Alcaraz? Tadic--->Mane + Sterl/Fab--->Sanchez? No idea...depends on what you're willing to riskZilch in the bank, not taking out Fab and I'm not sure those trades will give me quite enough for Sterling to Sanchez - but I like Wilson to Alcaraz anyway!
Maybe Wilson--->Bruce to free up cash.
Wilson out to an uber and save 2 fts for intl break?
Nice team, looks like the only transfer needed. I'm seldom if ever in such a position!
Siggy --> Barkley punt
Decent option, ta
Lose the 1 FT.
Sterling -> Eriksen?
something like that to keep your fund sorted for a few weeks so Sterling or Tadic's place can be filled by Walcott when fit and startingThat could work
behold the beginning of my mad plan, Week 2 BC (Before Chelsea defender bought to replace S'hampton defender)
Foster
Baines Coleman Clyne Bertrand Chambers
Di Maria Hazard (Diame) (Siggurdson) (Henderson)
Aguero Pelle Sakho
1.1 ITB for either Terry or Azpi to replace Clyne or Bertrand
Henderson to downgrade when I have a spare transfer and stop taking hits (week 11)
Hazard to Walcott when Wally's readyalways good to render the crowd speechless
Sterling Only five points away from being the top scoring midfilder this season.
He has also had some of his best scores away from home and has yet to blank two games in a row.
He already has eight bonus points this season
Yet he is being sold in droves despite playing Newcastle nextthen you should keep him
Of course im keeping him
🙄
His form is starting to slip. Which it never has before, this Season.
You are the voice of reason Trigger but this is a very emotional place and reason and logic doesn't come into it. Liverpool are struggling and people want last weeks points earner Sanchez.
Yes chasing last weeks points is why most fail in the long term. But they never learn
I look at the ticker. See who the main man is and try and squeeze him in. Look forward not back is key.
So we shouldn't get Sanchez this week?
And that too for Hazard
Well it appears they are selling him for a guy who is 5 points closer than Sterling to being the top scorer, has yet to blank two games in a row when starting, already has 9 bonus points, and has Burnley at home next.
Any Oscar love on these boards?
Tempted.
maybe read the page you're posting on before posting?
just above you:
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/10/26/the-big-numbers-gameweek-9-3/?hc_page=20#hc_comment_8661623He is too inconsistent. Been monitoring him for four weeks, now.
He plays and has good fixtures and has been chalking points up. Looks like great value to me.
So....
ADM is a season keeper.
Cesc is a season keeper.
Welbeck is a season keeper. 😆
Sterling is a season keeper. 😕
I'm telling you people, BAINES is a season keeper.
🙄Milner
Anyone being a season keeper is a fallacy. Costa showed that in the last two weeks.
It doesn't help if your manager is called Maureen and you sleep with a nurse and end up contracting diarrhea due to the hospital food.
had him since week 1, no need to tell me
Courtois is a season keeper keeper.
😆 Nicely done, Sir! 😀
Howard is a seasoned keeper.
Peppered Reina is a seasoned keeper
Wey-Hey! 😆
*over-seasoned
Happy I got him in this week...although, Moreno did outscore him 🙄
Yes - who to get from 'Pool defence? I see that they have been doing some work, at last.
Or was it because two got dropped before?just say no to 'poll defense... they tease once in a blue moon like they've turned the corner... then go back to conceding goals late in the 2nd half...
fool me once, shame on you
fool me twice, shame on you
fool me 7 times in 2 seasons and I ban myself from owning you people ever again... ooops... think I missed a "shame on me" in there somewhere 😉
Just got one out! No idea...but Moreno seems alright, grabbed 2 bonus this game week. More than their centre back.
Baines is a defender, not a keeper.
Tut, tut...
Forster (McCarthy)
Clyne / Chambers / Wisdom (Taylor / Moore)
Sterling / Fabregas / Chadli / Siggy (Downing)
Costa / Aguero / Pelle
1 FT. 0.2 ITB. Really stuck. Any ideas greatly appreciated.have newc's defence looked a bit better in recent weeks?
Yes since STaylor returned.
All yours for 3.9. A cheap playing defender. Great value.
Nope it's their attack which is getting them through
Aye.
MOrning/evening all. Does Ivan have to serve a ban for his red card on the weekend?
Heard he serves it during the Cup this week. Back for next GW.
No
No, mid week cup tie
Cheers for that
9 years, 7 months agoThoughts on Sterling -> Ramsey this week?
