As always, our Sunday membersโ regular delves into the data of the matches played out so far. This time around, Arsenalโs attack, Swanseaโs in-form frontman, the Hammersโ raiding left-back and Southampton’s new wide man are amongst our evening assessment.
Best move here?
A) Pelle -> Welbeck (and save a transfer)
B) Sterling -> Ramsey (and save a transfer)
C) Hazard & Pelle -> Sanchez & Welbeck
D) Sterling & Costa -> Sanchez & Welbeck
E) Sterling & Siggy/Chadli -> Sanchez & 5.0m (Boyd/Amalf)
F) Siggy, Sterling & Costa -> Sanchez, Downing & Welbeck (4 points)
Hazard, Sterling, Siggy, Chadli, Albrighton
Aguero, Costa, Pelle
Bank 0.2m
I wouldnt take Pelle out
+1
Crazy.Hmmmm, none of the above really appeal, but I feel like I need an ARS attacker.
Any ideas?Sterling->Ramsey/Walcott
Feels 1-2 weeks too early for Walcott given he's had 0 first team minutes in 9 months. Sterling -> Ramsey is the current favourite of the above, assuming Costa is fit.
I'm looking at the Walcott option as well, being the idiot I am. Cameo off the bench is more than enough for him to do the damage, espeically when Sanchez is playing as a creator as well.
But, are you serious?http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsenal-boss-arsene-wenger-eager-4512840
I will take my chances."“I am very happy he is with us, but he has had 10 months out. I have to find a way of bringing him back slowly over the next three or four weeks."
Then get Ramsey.
Or grow some balls.
๐
Have you got a head to head vs jinswick or something? ๐
๐
I am not even starting walcott yet in my draft league where he's been warming my bench all season!
๐
Well persoanlly I have made sacrifices to get Sanchez in. D may be an option if Costa isn't confirmed fit. It won't be popular round here because of welbeck's form, but he is surely worth the cash while he starts.
Don't like selling hazard and pelle though, that's for sure. Don't do that one!(E is also an option IMO)
Your Dilema is the main reason i took Costa out. With Costa and Aguero it makes the team very inflexible
Maybe you need to forget about Arsenal cover this week. Costa could easily outpoint the arsenal boysAlbrighton to Boyd (Seriously)
Chain only as strong as its weakest link
What about Milner though?
Yes ask him about milner!
Feels like a waste, especially since I'd bench him.
Siggy carrying a groin injury and with 3 tough fixtures up next - might be a good time to get rid (i.e. E above)
Costa and Siggy to Welbeck/Sakho and Sanchez?
Would have to be Sakho. Possibly an option if Costa is ruled out.
I'm in pretty much the exact same boat as you with the same playing front 7, 2 FTs and marginal bank. Will be interesting to see what you decide!
Currently feel like we have unfashionable picks that will probably do well regardless and that we would do well not to tinker.
This team got me 38 points this week. But I don't think that it needs work. Do you?
Begovic (4.0)
Clyne Coleman Wisdom (Hutton Duff)
Sterling Tadic Fabregas Sigg (Milner)
Aguero Costa Pelle
Milner sticks out like a sore thumb for me, only worry really
Looks fine, a low scoring gw for most.
Wait on injury news.
Gotta get Milner off the bench in to the starting XI.
Haha, Zasa seems to disagree?
Only the muppet's opinion matters.
This, you can't argue w/ the facts. Erase my post.
Really don't know what to do here...dont like the look of my team.
Forster (hul)
Baines (SWA) Wilson (WHU) Bertrand (hul)
ADM (mci) Tadic (hul) Sterling (new) Siggy (eve)
Costa (QPR) Aguero (MUN) Welbeck (BUR)
Boyd Moore Taylor
2 FT's, 0.2 ITB. Wanna ditch half my teamADM -> Sanchez/Hazard and save the other surely the play here?
Can't afford Sanchez and I cant agree with ADM out.
Can afford to chop and change a bit to play the fixtures this season though, and with mcy and ars in his next 3 I'd be surprised if he scores massive there.
Shame you can't afford Sanchez, but ADM -> Hazard is a good short term (and probably long term) move imo.
QPR, WBA and away to a porous LIV in the next 3 should = goals for CHEMan City and Arsenal arent exactly tight at the back though. ADM is my best midfielder ๐
I feel the same about ADM but I think Hazard might score more points in next 3/4 GWs I'm close on pulling the trigger
Id rather ADM over all of my midfielders though, not sure it is worth the switch. Hazard has been doing little FPL & stats wise so far, but could easily explode. Hmn
If you're willing to drop Costa, then Costa--> Pelle/Valencia/Eto look alright....then there's the option of Sterling--->Hazard/Sanchez.
I wish I could get Pelle, would make things easy. Wanted to do Costa/Tadic > Pelle/Sanchez but didnt wanna take a hit..now cant afford it ffs
It's quite funny how quick things change, little while ago that midfield looked like killer - now bit out of date (I have 3 of those too).
Maybe Tadic, Sterling => Downing, Sanchez ๐ and keep ADM.
Definetely not sure about Downing tough.
Is Sanchez worth this?
Tadic, Sterling => Downing, Sanchez (c) -4
Let's me keep Costa, but then again I could get Ramsey for free and keep Tadic for few weeks.
And saying that, I would probably keep Sterling for this week then...I would actually rather lose Costa than do that, but it a game of opinions.
Not with a hit and not with Downing as a 4th mid I assume.
he has fixtures, just missing some talent ๐
i m inclined to do it myself...though i have 2FT
Got Hutton playing for me tomorrow. Does not get more exciting than that
That's very exciting.
Considering he is playing tonight for all the other owners.All revved up for our h2h. Don't worry, I'll make sure to take a few hits so you can have a fair go.
Not the ones in australia
Guzan for me. Hoping for lots of saves, a clean sheet, a pen save and a goal maybe..too much?
Bottomed out...
@triggerlips
What do you think of Milner? Great differential, right?
U know I have him
Mate I'm fkin ready for weekend
Been on the vino and derby bids all nightVids
YoutubeWell then you must've watched that overhead kick a time of two.
Wouldnt touch him with yous
Rukawa was asking though...
lol
Been on the whiskey.
Machine gun farts are the best.
Early thoughts on my team for next week?
Guzan
Chambers, Baines, Bertrand
Chadli, Fabregas, Sanchez, Siggy
Aguero, Costa, Pelle
Subs: Given, Wisdom, Boyd, Dummett
1 FT and 0 ITB
Save?With Ozil and Giroud out long term and Arteta unlikely to be a regular starter (I hope), who do we think will be on pens for ARS?
Surely it's between Sanchez and Welbeck?
It'll be Podolski if he's on the field I believe. Maybe Sanchez or Ramsey otherwise. Ramsey is first choice for Wales. I don't remember Welbeck taking any penalties at United, don't see why he would start at Arsenal.
I would bet Welbeck if Arteta is absent.
Rate these in order of season long fantasy prospects:
Walcott, Eriksen, Silva, Ramsey, SigurdssonWalcott
Siggi
Ramsey
Eriksen
SilvaNot easy, but let me make the comparison under the presumption that they remain fit through the season.
Walcott, Eriksen, Sigurdsson, Silva, RamseySiggy
Walcott ( he is never a long term prospect though)
Ramsey
Eriksen
SilvaSiggy top even if prices are irrelevant?
Starting from now?
W (when starting)
Sig
E
R
Sil
(That is taking price into account, otherwise Sig and E are bottom 2)disregard price
I don't think that is possible really in a game with a budget
Its for my draft-style league not on FPL.com but using the points system
Ah that changes things a lot. OK then
1. Walcott,
=2 Ramsey/Silva
=4 Sig/Eriksen
Ramsey
SIggy
Walcott
Eriksen
Silva
If Mourinho says something like "Costa will 100% start against QPR" I might need to wildcard!
Which he is not going to say ๐
Unless he is reading this ๐
Might just do Cisse and Luka to Rooney and Valencia ๐
Nice easy match for rooney eh
Nothing is easy for them atm ๐ Pelle might have forgot abt Rooney's return ๐
With Walcott back in the team how do we expect Arsenal to line up? (assuming he starts)
Will Cazorla retain his spot?My thoughts:
1. Sanchez is safe.
2. Walcott and Sanchez on opposite sides gives too little support to the guy playing the ball (the 10).
I think that Sanchez will continue as 10 with Cazorla on the left and Walcott on the right. Lemme know what you think.Sorry just saw this cheers..
Honestly I haven't the faintest idea, but I would assume Wenger will make Sanchez play centrally given that he thought about this when he bought him
Krulliott
Baines terry clyne duff CAULKER
eriksen sterling adm tadic siggy
Aguero welbeck VARDY
0.1 in the bank
2 fts
The plan was t make some crazy luxury trnsfrrs in mid. Now im thinkin of just swapping caulker for chambers n benching siggy if out. Sound?Still holding on to Caulker, get rid of him. Siggy will be fine
Its his farewell tnite no matter wat ๐ .. just decidin between chambers or a benchwarmer like saylor
Chambers for sure. You'll need to get rid of Terry(no cs) or Clyne(bad fix) soon so Chambers will be a good player to have or a rotation option if you stick with them
Caulker has been such a joy to own.
I might do that switch to Chambers myself, but not sure he has good cs odds for a while except this gw10.
Might even end up being the last Caulker owner alive and keep him until january - and enjoy points galore gw13, 15, 17, 19, 20. What could possibly go wrong ๐Chambers definitely a good option.
If I were wildcarding now I'd have him as a 4th def and play 4-3-3 with a hugely expensive front 6!Good option - yes.
Great option if on wc - yes.
Great option when using one transfer for that - not so sure.
Team for next week:
Mannone,
Baines, Clyne, Chambers,
Sigurdsson, Fábregas, Sterling, Di María,
Agüero, Pellè, Welbeck.
Subs: Krul, Wisdom, N Taylor, Boyd.
1 FT, £1.2m in the bank.
What to do, lads? £0.1m short of Sterling -> Chadli, Welbeck -> Costa. ๐ Anything else I can do? Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Why would you want to get rid of Welbeck before Burnley ?
Who else can I sell for Costa then? Definitely not selling Agüero or Pellè.
You might get lucky with a Costa price drop
Fiso says he's -181%
Fiso is terrible this season. Should have dropped otherwise.
Go without Costa.
Ok lads I have 2ft but 0ITB anyone got any advice
My original thoughts were to bring in sanchez, chambers, Barkley for sterling, JT and Siggy
Krul,
Baines, JT, Naylor
hazard, Sterling Downing, Siggy
Costa, Aguero , Welbeck
Elliott, Marney, Bruce, » ReadDon't get rid of Siggy unless he's definitely out, don't get rid of JT before QPR,
I've had JT since the start and he is beyond frustrating to own. He's on the same points as Wilson @4.5
Anyone else feel this game gets a lot easier after around gw12 when most players have 1000 minutes under their belts and you can have more confidence their form isn't temporary?
Krul
Jagielka Bertrand Clyne
Sanchez Hazard(C) ADM Fabregas
Aguero Berahino Welbeck
Bring on GW10
That midfield...
Hazard(c)? ๐ Other than that, looks great...
Hazard -> costa! Hazard frustrating this year
I've been waiting for an excuse to give Haz the armband, now or never
YOLO
After an average GW I need some help:
Foster (Mannone)
Baines Bertrand Chambers (Dummett Wisdom)
ADM Sterling Tadic Siggy (Boyd)
Costa Aguero Welbeck
2FT, 0ITB.
I'm think about Costa and Sterling to Sanchez and Pelle, but that would give me 3 Southamption and 3 Arsenal. Welbeck and Mannone could also become problems.
Easier to go up the rankings?
Fail.
๐
#Epicfail
I find it easier to go down.
Is Rooney back for next GW?
yep
His flag has been removed so I presume so.
Yessir & all the more reason to protest the AdM backlash
It's a pity he didn't drop to 10.0
Looks like Sakho's goal scoring run has come to an end then.
Why?
still find it hard to believe that westham has a goal machine in the team
His scoring run is based on goals everytime he starts. So he can still continue it in a few weeks!
He's due a 10 week blank.
Sterling to Sanchez sounds logical but I've got Siggy and Costa which makes it tricky as we haven't a clue if they will be fit
Hot Topics. Sigurdsson should be fine ๐
Wasn't on here last night so didn't get the chance to gloat. 58 with Guzan left ๐
Really wanted to do this after two poor weeks.about the same as me then
(Assuming Hutton outscores Guzan by 20 points)I hope he won't. Our FFSHWC match depends on it.
I got my applications declined for that one. *sob*
Morning DZers. Assuming the injury isn't serious, would you trade Welbeck and Sterling for Sanchez and Sahko?
Nah
Sell Welbeck ahead of burnley at home?
Nah, I'd look for another way to get sanchez if you're set on himI think that's too big an assumption with reports saying he may be out up to a month.
Thanks both. Haven't seen the reports on Sahko, cheers for the heads up.
Out for a month most likely mate, not keen at all
Sterling has done a big pile of nothing the last few eeks hasn't he? Sturridge better hurry up & get fit!
Blame Balo.
I was saying this last week but nobody listened..
I'm pretty sure everyone in the world is blaming balo for everything.
Moore Duff Chambers Clyne N.Taylor
Next few fixtures are horrible for my defenders. Any tips for transfers?
2 FT, 0.7m in bankGet a West Ham defender
McCarthy Clean sheet Penalty save and fluke goal from a goal kick
Surely not too much to ask?Anything is possible
*Guzan
It is perfectly fine but I'm really scratching my head as to how Hutton will get his 25 point haul
I'm assuming some substitions after 60 mins are required hereMcCarthy injured celebrating his 61st minute goal. Green comes on and concedes four to Hutton
I'm glad you have sorted it all out.
Yes perfectly likely scenario.A goalkeeper getting injured celebrating a fluke goal against his opposite number... Damn the goalkeeper's union would love that ๐
You're pushing for the first two, I can see the latter as probable
sterlin, fab, tadic > hazard, sanchez, amalfitano.
for a -8?not for -8
Really you want or drop the top scoring midfielder?
dont know why, still feel fab has been lucky.
Taylor to Chambers a bit of a luxury move?
Or hold?
I was considering it, but Arsenal's fixtures aren't brilliant.
I'm doing it.
What's everyone's all PL team ATM?
For me...
DDG
Coleman Kompany Terry Baines
Schneiderlin Ramsey
Silva Fabregas AdM
AgueroYou mean in real life?
Not sure but Sanchez is in there. Can we just have a front 8, baines and coleman, with no central defenders? ๐Thats pretty much ow i would have it muppet, maybe-
Schnerlin to Costa and Coleman to Clyne
