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.
Which premium player to bring in?
A) Costa
B) Hazard
C) Sanchez
Costa v QPR (if fit)
Who'd you recommend getting rid of? Got Pelle, Aguero and Welbeck.
No idea. Same strike force as me.
If you have three cash, Welbeck.
I'm not convinced hes a goalscorer.Neither am I. But for around 7M getting an Arsenal attacker surrounded by some of the best playmakers, his value is great. Costa is pure goal scorer so I see where you're coming from.
Pelle
What?!
Really?
A little premature. Few weeks time. Maybe . . .Hmm, OK maybe Welbeck, but before Burnley (H)? Tough to take any of those out to be honest (that's my three as well). Hope Costa is still out!
Ditto 😀
Hazard
costa if fit then sanchez.hazard is not worth it.
I have none and want all! 😀 B, C, A for me at the moment, penalty takers are king.
In fact i think i'll be doing Siggy & ADM/Sterling > Sanchez & Hazard
Only reason Costa is at the bottom is the uncertainty over his condition at the moment. That and the fact i'd find it hard to accommodate him at the mo
Hey guys, what are your thoughts on doing:
A) Tadic to Sanchez
or
B) Pelle to Costa
Both would be free transfers
CheersI'd prefer having Sanchez and Pelle
Cheers, leaning towards that myself
So for how long is Sigurdsson out? Any news?
Damn, would be a groin injury. If only he stayed on a few more minutes.
If you cant afford haz OR fab , oscar is a brilliant , cheaper and different option
I'm looking at oscar. Will check the stats out.
where do you check the stats pal ?
He does look tempting, but Chelsea just have so many options in attacking midfield, there's always the worry he won't start, and he'll be more likely to be subbed off early. Even with the Spurs debacle today, I think I'd rather have Eriksen at about the same price.
🙂 I'd pick oscar tbh . will 101% start VS qpr
This week sure, but long term? Just dunno about him.
has anyone gone for this?
ADM Sterling Fab Sanchez Siggy
Sahko Berahino Aguero or costaLooks good...apart from the word "or"
which would you keep from them 2 going forward
How would you prioritize these?
Get Ulloa out
Get Sanchez in
Get Baines inSanchez
Ulloa
Baines
Too early for Walcott still this week?
Yeah. Walcott will get his first start vs utd IMO.
I agree. After the International Break.
i think he'll be ready to start after the international break.
will he play for Engerland?
Doubtful
I asked this yesterday but in the lights of today's events:
Would you rather do:
Sterling, Costa and Welbeck out for Oscàr(already have Hazard), Aguero and Sakho
or
Sterling and Welbeck out for Sanchez and Sakho?
Will mourhino really declare costa fit right before international break? Is only qpr
Potentially.
It's not.
What's the cut off for LMS?
can't believe we (Liverpool) are sitting in 7th place the way we are playing. Ahead of Spurs and Utds and on same points as Arsenal. Top 4 finish seems very possible still.
We're only a quarter of the way through the season, anything is possible.
Once again people are writing off anyone that isn't the team placed in 1st right now. Sure Chelsea are looking great and easily have the best squad but anything can happen. They'll have a bad patch like everyone.yeah exactly. i am more amazed how we are doing pretty well in the league the way we have been playing. it is a very positive thing. seem to be winning games where we play badly which is something we could never do in recent years. i think if the new signings find some form and the team gels a bit we can easily push for top4/
All of those have also been equally poo, any hope of upturn in form is probably mirrored by their fans.
we aren't playing well but it will come, survive til the window and get a striker that can create his own shot. we're 2 pts off the 2 pt average that rodgers wants
yeah we badly need a striker and/or sturridge to stay fit. we depend too much on him. wish we had of got Bony. would have been perfect
agree if we were after a target man type we should have got him but i think we need creative one like sturridge to pretty much cover him since he always gets injured maybe someone like lacazette
Any thoughts on this??
Sterling and ADM -> Sanchez and Oscar (free)
Good call? 🙂Nah.
Thanks
no way
Consistent, thanks
Not for me.
Keep both imo.Cheers Evs
Who do you have your eye on in midfield at the moment?Sanchez.
Maybe Ramsey.
I have no Money for any of these minds.
If Siggy is injured I suppose I'll have to get Chadli 😥Thanks pal
We're all awaiting the return of Theo "Mr Points" Walcott.....
Why do I get the bad feeling it will turn out bad this time around?It won't he'll be dynamite
Will he even be nailed on now that Sanchez has gone there?
Never know with Wenger.
I'd play Walcott right and Sanchez left with someone in no.10.
We'll see I guess!
This is likely to happen
Its just too early at the moment, Sanchez is fit and in form. Walcott's had a serious injury and won't be starting for at least a couple of weeks. Going to wait and see how he performs before considering him.
Where do you think Southampton will finish this season?
Top 8.
6th
5th or 6th/ well deserved too after loosing most of their team from last year.
8th 9th
they've had the easiest fixtures out of all the teams so far
Did Jose give any reason about Costas absence before or after the United game ?
He got infected with the black cancer that the colonists use.
Is this supposed to be funny, because it is anything but.
It's odd to see Rafa marking Drogba but they have
Ivan, JT, Cahill, Drogba, Matic all over 6ft
We had Smalling and RvP and RvP was on the post
Big problem for us IMOoh the big Belgian bloke
Fellaini as well?
yeah, forgot him, but still it's 2 big players v maybe half a dozen
Big problem for us. We really need a Hummels type defender
A big guy who can organise
What happened to that Vidic bloke?The number of defensive injuries doesn't help though. How often do any of Chelsea's defenders get injured? Hardly ever!!
true this was first time Jose had changed any of his back 5 in the PL and that was due to suspension
But our defenders are injury prone
I couldn't believe how much bigger than Utd Chelsea looked in the flesh. They are fecking huge.
It's incredible
Hazard looks like a midget stood in their team line-upthey make every other team look like david
Maybe not Stoke or West Ham
Which keeper would you bring in for Mannone? Already got 3 Soton.
A) Lloris
B) Courtois
C) Szczesny
D) Adrian
Cheers.Lloris or Adrian
Should I play:
A) Rose (villa)
B) Bertrand (hull)
C) Hutton (SPURS)Bertrand
Berty
Anyone else doubled on Southampton defence or gone for Forster as lone keeper?
Need to start thinking of an exit strategy.
GW13, Clyne or Bertie > Creswell looks lovely
Downgrading one to Chambers is obvious.
Already have him.
Got Forster as keeper with exit strategy to Adrien in GW 13. Happy to hold Pelle but think they wont be able to keep the bigger teams from scoring (still could conceivably win mind you). Clyne/Betrand offer some attacking returns but I expect these to be limited, I think if Southampton play well against the big teams the BPS will probably go to the CB as cant imagine the Full backs being as adventurous
I have Clyne and Bertrand. Will probably hold onto one as still have attacking potential. Too early to plan replacement with International break coming up.
Eventually I'm planning my front 8 to look like this.
Haz | Sanchez | BARKLEY | WALCOTT | OBERTAN
Costa | STURRIDGE | Berahino
Not too shabby IMO.needs more Aguero
I'm hoping Sturridge will be a better or equal option.
Hope being the operative word
he wont be might be a better option then costa though
Team is:
Foster/4.0
Baines/Cahill/Clyne/Duff/Dummett
ADM/Sterling/Downing/Siggy/Marney
Aguero/Costa/Pelle
Which transfer would you rather do?
A. Siggy ----> Chadli
OR
B. Sterling & Cahill -> Sanchez & Chambers (-4)
Since I have 0.0 ITB if Siggy drops 0.1 I won't be able to do A.
why ivanovic banned only 1 game whereas rooney was banned for 3?
ABUs
rooney straight red
Not a straight red.
two yellows for Ivan....straight red for rooney
Rooney straight red
Sterling to Sanchez
or
Naismith to Sakho
or
Sterling to Tadic/Mane
Thoughts?naismith to sakho but keep an eye on his injury
Can't wait to lose Naismith...he's a 1pt magnet
Is Rob Green back?
Probably will play im really hoping he don't
Siggy>Oscar
Yes or no, and why?no.rotation risk with the return of ramires
There really isn't any rotation risk for games against weak teams - especially at home
Depends on what other Chelsea cover you have. If none then possibly. Consider Eriksen.
Cheers. I also have fab.
I've looked at Eriksen bit I'm not convinced by him or Spurs
yes. one is injured and the other has QPR at home
Not having any Southmpton defensive cover hurts.
Still, you're having a meteoric rise lately! Cream rising.
Dread to think how low I'd be had I not tripled up...
The doubling on Forster / Bertrand has really gone well so far.
How did you week go Evs?
GW16
Arsenal v Newcaslte
5:30pm kick off
Bringing back any memories?wally went mad??!
Hat trick and 2 assists
Got lost on last page...........
1 FT..0.7 In the bank..WC available..
Begovic
Baines Clyne Wisdom
ADM Sterling Fabregas Siggy
Aguero Pelle Welbeck
(Gilks, Duff, Ferdinand, Albrighton)
Soggy to chadli worth it? Or should I be moving deadweight like Ferdinand and Albrighton?
Any other ideas?Oscar stats vs hazard/fab over last four GWs makes interesting reading.
VAMOS THE SESS ! where do you find these stats ?
Members area.....only £15. Well worth it!
it kept secret at camp Argie. written on spools of bog roll....
😆
Van Persie's goal today cost me my accum and €1000. Utterly devastated all evening
