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.
-
How come all the sanchez hype now? I understand he's hit a decent bit of form but very expensive considering, that much on arsenal player is quite a bit seeing as they are the most frustratingly inconsistent team to support, also his chances have been quite lucky per say
-
Its out of control
-
Once something gets going on here it does become unstoppable :L
-
All the positive reinforcement on here tends to snowball
-
It buids up so much that when the player then gets two points , the forum meltsdown and everyone wonders why they ever transfered them in
-
I can't wait.
-
-
-
-
I was caught up breifly but I don't think Arsenal have the greatest run of fixtures and still don't look especially fluid in general, so its passed
-
He's been the focal point of everything Arsenal does up top, it's been like this for a while now. Just hasn't converted to fantasy $ up until last week.
If international form is a good indicator of club prowess, I'd say people were just blindsided by his price & AR of course. -
COS PRICES AND BURNLEY N THAT
-
Agree, have your own plan and stick to it. Use this place to sound it out. Have gone for Hazard and Welbeck this week. I know not as in vogue as Sancez but like to think i know what im doing. With all that said, Sanhcez is a great player, just a bit to much price wise for me
-
Are you saying 8 goals in 11 games is down to luck? Until Sunderland I didn't hear much about luck and even at Sunderland work rate and forward positioning were factors as well as luck.
-
B4 start of season everyone think sanchez is great no? And now he has hit form and is the focal point..burnley next..everything looks good.
He is abit expensive so i will not break the bank for him. But if u can afford, why not? Not everyone has aguero or costa(i have though) so they are in a easy position to get him.
-
-
Got so many options and that's without even factoring in that Costa may actually start the QPR game. Just some preliminary ideas if you could give me your thoughts.
Forster (hul)
Bertrand (hul), Wilson (WHM), Dawson (lei)
Cesc (QPR), ADM (mcy), Sterling (new), Siggy (eve)
Welbeck (BUR), Aguero (MCY), Pelle (hul)
Subs: Boyd, Naylor, Moore
2 FTs, 3.8m itb
A: Naylor + Siggy > Chambers + Sanchez/Hazard
B: Naylor + Sterling > Baines + Hazard
C: Siggy + Sterling > Hazard + Ramsey
D: Siggy + Sterling + Welbeck > Hazard + Sanchez + Sakho/Berahino
Cheers guys and of course any other suggestions more than welcome. 🙂-
D is for a -4 of course.
-
B looks really good.
-
a
-
-
Help please.
How's about ... Sterling + Moreno -> Sanchez + Chambers ?
Stronger for points ?-
Just moreno imo
-
0.0 ITB.
I will be able to do those trades before Sanchez rise and Sterling drop only.
Hesitate.
-
-
Yeah good transfers if for free.
-
-
Whats the most accurate site for price drops?
Miaow!-
None it seems w/ a ratio of 2/30 corrent
-
*correct
-
-
-
Boardwalk Empire series finale tonight. Sad times. 🙁
-
never got into it for some reason
-
1st season probably the least good of the lot but after that it really picks up. Last couple of seasons have been incredible imo, top quality television.
-
-
Right in my home state 🙁
-
stopped watching that show after they killed off jimmy
-
Ha, same here. Loved it, but they went too far.
-
-
-
Anyone else looking at Sánchez slightly concerned by his current conversion rate?
-
What's wrong with it? Perfectly normal number.
-
Look at his shots on target to goals.
-
-
He had a pretty bad conversion rate last season at Barca too from what I remember, translated into 19 goals & 10 assists on the wing
-
That's interesting because my concern is whether he is currently over-performing.
-
-
-
To free up fund for Sanchez :
a) Welbeck > Berahino/Sakho
b) Sterling > CHadli-
a if you must
-
c) ADM > Sanchez (directly for free)
-
Does taking Welbeck out for Burnley at home seem like a good idea to you?
-
I need Sanchez,,that's why I'm asking to sacrifice Welbeck or Sterling.
-
You don't NEED him though.
-
-
-
Neither, go without Sanchez.
-
-
Sakho off the bench 😎
-
Ulloa off the bench 😆
-
Hutton off the bench! LOL!
-
Good chance of CS
-
-
Sometimes we succeed despite ourselves.
-
-
It's fine to bring in Sanchez for next week. I may bring back adm for week after. Points in the bag that count.
-
If you've got money in the bank to afford it then sure, but can't keep losing buying players back at more than you've sold them for
-
Yeah 100% right Dave. I also lost a lot on Costa to Aguero last week but it paid off. At least Costa and AGM are cheaper. 8 or 900 k lost though if I buy them back.
-
-
-
Is the baby being thrown out with the bathwater?
Babies even
Sterling/Siggi/ADM
These players are template for a reason, they are good fantasy assets who will not be easy to buy back with their elevated prices.
It tempting to see a shiny new toy and cast aside old favourites, however people havevery short memories, and none of the above players have done anything wrong to justify throwing out-
Of course. Its the nature of the game but sometimes the transfers you don't make are the best ones
-
Indeed. Why didn't you comment on my post a couple pages back which said the exact same thing? 😀
-
What elevated prices? Sterling is dropping.
-
Exactly.
My defence needs transfers that what I'll be doing. -
Certainly disagree with ADM out. The other two I can sort of see. Liverpool are pretty woeful and Sturridge won't be back until after the international break. I downgraded Siggy this week as it was either him or Costa and I'm not 100% happy about it since he's setting up most of Bony's chances, but on the other hand he has had virtually zero goal threat recently and has tough fixtures.
-
Next 3 are tough after that its a great run of games, its weighing up the short term vs medium term gains I guess
-
Hopefully I will be able to get him back in for Chadli by that point if he looks like scoring well again.
-
-
-
While I do agree with you about ADM and possibly Sterling, although I dropped him 2 weeks ago as I don't trust his returns without Sturridge, I have to say now that Siggy is injured, he needs to go. Going into this week he has blanked in 4 out of 5 games and even though he got an assist this week, it was only a 4 pt. return. Enough is enough for me and most others.
There are so many other great choices out there, that will he really be missed that badly? He is good for assists and not proven himself as a goal scorer in the PL. I think most are looking for better, more consistent options going forward and blanking in nearly 5 out of 6 isn't a good consistent option.-
Agree Costa, and when you can make Siggy into someone like Hazard it makes good sense
-
-
Then how are u gg to get in players like eriksen sanchez etc?
As much as i agree on playing safe but sometimes u really might have to take a risk somewhere to max ur points. If u are brave enough to have done adm->sanchez last week u would be 10pts ahead. Nth points to an adm blank for all the tough fixtures..in fact he could get points..just that maybe sanchez could do better -
Solid advice Triggerlips although I'm becoming a little weary of owning Sterling. Don't think he's worth the coffers at the min
-
Randy Marsh is Lorde you know. Who knew!
-
Kneel before me, little cookie

What to do with 2FT? cheers as im planning on doing tonite
1. 2FT sigur + sterling> Oscar + Mane
2. 2FT sigur + sterling> Tadic + Mane (double Sou mid!)
3. (-4) sigur + sterling + downing > Cesc + Mane + Boyd/Obert-
They all seem like awful options to me
-
yes the first two look better than the replacements
-
-
1 out of those options
-
None of the above, rest of team?
-
zasa rest of team: chadli - adm - welbeck - dcosta - aguero
-
-
-
Which is the best 9.5 mil or under forward?
-
Pelle
-
Pelle
-
Pelle
Lukaku
Bony VsX

Pelle....end of story.

-
Bego Mccarthy
Baines Clyne Bertie Moore Hutton
Sterling Siggy ADM Tadic Boyd
Aguero Welbeck Berahino
1ft 5.5 itb
About to pull the trigger on
Sterling Siggy >Hazard Sanchez -4
Thoughts ?-
Wow. Thats some big guns you're bringing in! I kind of like it. Sterling has a great fixture but Newcastle looked better today and Liverpool have looked awful. Think its a risk that could pay off
-
Yep siggy form and Sterling playing in awful Liverpool big factor ,I need to bring in a Chelsea player for QPR, could have waited to do Sterling > Sanchez but I think playing BUR he will cover the -4, problem is then Costa gone for a while
-
-
Do it
-
-
Anyone any current two or three way defensive rotation schemes?
-
It doesn't work Tony..pick one or two from the top of the season ticker for the next few weeks and save yourself the brain ache...
-
I don't disagree with the tactic but I do think defensive rotations work.
-
Best just picking the best players in the best defenses with the best fixtures.
-
Defensive rotation is to minimize transfers as u have players with good fixtures long term through rotating.
There need to be a mix though..like maybe clyne baines + rotation.
I start with a rotation of chester(baines gw7) ferdinand clyne taylor wisdom and have worked well so far..so rotation works especially the big teams not keeping cs
-
-
Soton was top of the ticker for the first ten GW's (same as last year funnily enough) and have proved the best picks (same as last year funnily enough)...No promises but it's certainly as good a way as any...
-
Well yeah sure but the fact that I knew I'd have 2 budget players with decent fixtures this week (Dawson/Naylor) got me at least the 1 cleanie, ditto few weeks ago with Lescott/Wilson.
Maybe I'd rather have Chambers tbh but it's not as clear as "it doesn't work".
-
-
-
-
-
Still yet to see a red arrow 😯 Surely the streak can't last much longer?!
Here's the current squad:
Foster - Krul
Baines - Bertrand - Clyne - Naylor - PVA
Fabregas - Sterling - Di Maria - Siggy - Downing
Costa - Welbeck - Pellé
2 FT this week and unsure what to do with it. Contemplated getting in Hazard or Sanchez for Sterling but otherwise I don't know. Is this the time I squeeze in Kun for Costa?-
same here 2ft. lloks good, maybe the sanchez mov e, altho sanches both goals were quite lucky.
would u drop sigur due to injury and not so good fixture or downing?-
Well I got Downing a few weeks back with the intention of playing him the next few weeks to cover for Siggy so I'll just bench this week and reassess
-
think im dropping sigur and sterling for my 2ft as i too got downing in case i need to play him for the DC injury.
-
emprerikal what do u thi k best w/ these 2 ft?
1.2FT sigur + sterling> Oscar + Mane
2.2FT sigur + sterling> Tadic + Mane (double Sou mid!)
3. (-4) sigur + sterling + downing > Cesc + Mane + Boyd-
Answered above. Out of those I'd say 1. Also perhaps consider Downing for the next few over Mane and get Hazard?
-
yep. if i get haz, then id have to do sterling + sigur > Haz + 5.6 (diame/SDavis/ or jedinak)
what do u think?
rest of team: chadli - adm // welbeck - dcosta - aguero
-
-
-
-
-
I'm yet to see a consecutive arrow whether it's been red or green 😯
-
Haha that's a feat in itself!
-
I've Costa and wanna get rid as I just can't see him playing vs QPR.
-
Ugh.. I've kept him through the drops as well. Want to get rid but desperately awaiting more news before pulling the trigger
-
-
-
-
haha. i had 7 str8 green arrow till this one. unless guzan goes nutz w saves, it stays red 🙂
-
-
Sanchez rose just before I went to get him in... Priced out of that now 🙁 🙁
-
10.4 now ??
-
Blessing in disguise that.
-
Could very well be
-
-
shit
-
Bloody hell that's annoying.
-
Are you f**king kidding 🙁
-
0.1 short now. So annoyed.
-
Who were you selling
-
Sterling and Siggy > Sanchez and Hazard. 0.1 off now 🙁
-
Good just sell one and buy Sanchez then. Forget Haz
-
No Chelsea for QPR is asking for trouble.
-
-
-
-
-
-
That's made my mind up then, saving the transfer
-
damn , he sneaked up quick
-
-
Can't have em all Innsie
-
Hazard it is then
-
Or that
-
-
-
That's ridiculous he rose already. Price rises are so temperamental this year.
-
-
Is Sturridge gonna be fine for this week like what the fpl website predict ?
-
Too early to say. I wouldn't go off the fpl site though.
-
-
How bad was Lukaku today! Very bad. I'd love it if Eto started in the prem instead. Genuine captain choice unlike Lukaku.
-
Is sterling likely to fall anytime soon? Also is fpl statistics good for fallers too?
-
See below
-
-
Risers: Clyne, Berahino, Sanchez
Fallers: Sagna, Delph, Kolarov, Vertonghen, Gazzaniga, Westwood, Chiriches, Donacien, Kingsley, Stambouli-
Costa safe for tonight.
-
Surprising to be honest.
-
Not at all, was nowhere near on FFF.
-
-
-
Go on, Berahino son. 😎
-
Cheers
-
Why would they buy Clyne..far too late and may as well have had Toby for what was left of the good fixtures...
-
Because he's still at the top of the TS list which is all many look at.
-
Aye...only about two or three more good games to come..may as well have saved 0.5...
-
In hindsight yes, but you can't keep people from points chasing, can ya?
-
-
-
-
Price rise time hasn't changed with the resetting of clocks?
-
It's been 6:43 pm in California and is STILL at 6:43 in California until next weekend when we turn our clocks back.
-
The clocks have already gone back in UK which is why your games started an hour later today.
-
-
-
I didn't do my transfers thought it was another hour that's just cost me .1
-
Same. Can't make the moves now.
-
They should have put a warning on the FPL site I can still afford but feel disheartened now
-
At least you can still afford it!
-
-
-
-
Who the hell has: Vertonghen, Gazzaniga, Westwood, Chiriches, Donacien, Kingsley, Stambouli and is dropping them finally????? Mind boggling.
-
-
Sahko ranks 3rd among forwards for points per game, so with this in mind - Costa out for Sahko and Siggy out for Sanchez worthwhile?
-
Sahko deemed injured up to a month, not a prosperous move IMO
-
Is he a confirmed out for a month? I saw him go off with a head knock vs City...
-
That was the shoulder injury - same play. Scans tomorrow. Out for up to a month.
-
-
-
with shoulder injury is he likely to miss at least for a week or two ?
-
-
Risers: Clyne, Berahino, Sanchez
Fallers: Sagna, Delph, Kolarov, Vertonghen, Gazzaniga, Westwood A, Chiriches, Donacien, Kingsley, Stambouli -
Hope sterling runs riot this week
-
He's the hero we deserve
-
-
The La Liga trio: Sanchez, Di Maria and Fabregas
Honorable mention to Costa 🙂-
W/ a Vargas cameo tomorrow
-
-
Costa survived! 😀
-
635th in GW rank.
-
Great effort
-
-
sterling to hazard / sanchez ?
I don't have costa-
Arsenal v Burnley
Chelsea v QPR
both home wins you'd say
-
-
-
Mane: is he now assured 90 minutes?
he had 90 min, but in the 8-0 that he only played 26 min, was it due to slight knock? thinking of going for him and saving the cash instead of tadic.-
Was because he returned from international duty with Senegal
-
yep thnx. forgot, think senegal game was on thu. so he is assured then...
-
-
-
Think i might get Costa back later in the week :O
-
cling on to the template as others rip it apart
-
Or Rooney
-
Is sticking with Siggy comfortable for you ?
-
