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.
I think rooney will be a better pick then Costa for the season, or am I crazy?
Haven't seen Rooney's name mentioned for a while!
If Costa could stay fit then definitely not. Otherwise we'll have to see
Siggy to Chadli
or
Taylor to ChambersNeither
Cahill is getting really frustrating to own. 2 CS lost in the final minutes in the last 2 games, and when Chelsea do keep a CS he always gets a YC getting rid of any potential BP's
I'm staying away from Chelsea defenders unit they can prove they can keep CS. I had Cahill all of last year and did well, but dropped him 3 games into this year. Don't regret it.
Which players in your team haven't moved out since the beginning?
For me its Krul, Foster and Siggy.only sterling and clyne
Siggy and Fab for me
Costa. Siggy. Mannone. Wisdom.
Top players to have:
Di Maria --> Tougher fixtures but if you see the man play he's desperate to get goals and assists. Love how he takes most corners, regardless which side of the field it's on.
Fabregas --> Mr. Consistent. Back in the premier league and great value with good fixtures.
Sigurdsson --> When fit, for his price you can't go wrong. High chance of getting bonus points when he assists or scores.
Sanchez --> Brilliant year, on form, great fixtures. Great goalscorer.
Sakho and Berahino --> Worth the risk at being priced at under 6M. Amazing form, decent fixtures.
Aguero --> Destroys Man Utd, has the highest goals per minutes play, can assist
Pelle ---> Amazing form, main man at a dominant Southampton side
Avoid?
Sterling --> As a Liverpool fan, I looked at our fixtures and I'm afraid Sterling might get rested for a few games, could they be premier league games? Perhaps. Until Sturridge comes back I'd avoid.
Hazard ---> Decent fixtures but for value for money I'd say Fabregas, Sanchez and Di Maria are better options.
Coleman --> Seems like more of a punt having him over Baines. His price is too high for what you getSterling could play as a striker soon again... Won't get benched as he wont play the cup game
If Coleman gets 10 cs's and 5 goals that's already equivalent to a 15 goal striker, and for 6.9m. Bargain if you can fit him inI'd take Hazard over everyone of those guys you've compared him to! 😉
While Sterling hasn't been a points magnet, don't think Rodgers can risk not playing him in EPL league if they want any chance of UEFA CL next year.
Great article bro.
Ok then, what would you do with this team? I've tinkered (badly) and I'm not feeling it at all....
Krul Green
Baines Ivan Clyne Wisdom Duff
Fab sterling Tadic Siggy jedinak
Pelle welbs Kun
£0.8m in bankbaines and ivan is killing your team. think pick one, prob baines, and d/g ivan to someone like hutton
Ivan out for cheap/chambers, sterling out Sanchez in?
Why all the Sanchez love? His 2 goals were off the back of poor defending.
That's what I just said!!
What transfers to do?
A) Sterling and Ivanovic to Sanchez or Hazard) and Chambers +1,4m ITB
B) Sterling and Siggy to (Sanchez or Hazard) and Diame
C) Sterling and JWP to Hazard and Jones (Burnley)
D) Ivanovic to BainesD seems a little weird considering its QPR up next
Ivanovic got a red card...
he only misses midweek cup game
Ok....
Which players in your team haven't moved out since the beginning?
For me its: Krul, Foster and Siggy.sorry for the double post :l
Hazard is the only player I've had since the beginning who is still in my team. Urgh!
Siggy/Cahill/Clyne/Sterling
If you asked this last week it would be:
Siggy/Cahill/Clyne/Sterling/DDG/ChesterOh and my 4.0 GK
Krul, Foster, Naylor, Duff, Bruce, Sterling, Siggy
😀Bego, Hamer, Costa, Sterling, Marney, Clyne, Chester, Wisdom....
Cesc, Siggy & Costa.
Hutton and Moore and only played Hutton in 1 game I think
Begovic Wisdom Ferdinand Albrighton Sterling
Clyne as well and Gilks so 7
Costa Clyne Sigurdsson Sterling Fabregas
And gilks
Begovic, Gilks, Duff, Moore, Fabregas, Costa...
Bartley Wisdom Baines Hazard
Clyne wisdom chambers Krul Begovic sterling
Krul, Foster, Taylor, Duff, Chester, Sanchez, Eriksen, Wanyama and Costa
I'm really worried about having no Chelsea cover next week if Costa doesn't start... But I would have to get rid of ADM if I want Hazard and I really don't want to do that.
i would defo want either fab or haz for next week. esp over ADM
But then look at ADM's fixtures after next week...gold...
Yep exactly why I don't want to get rid of him. Could do it for a week and swap back but that could be huge waste of transfers.
Chelsea/City was always going to be bad for ADM..but you're half way there now.
yeah but Chelsea playing much better. Man Utd are playing pretty bad still. a good run of fixtures doesnt matter so much the way they are playing
ADM has still been getting solid points no matter how bad they're playing.
I was quite impressed today tbh..much better than previous performances.
I'm worried too it's my biggest problem
Repost...
Foster/4.0
Baines/Cahill/Clyne/Duff/Dummett
ADM/Sterling/Downing/Siggy/Marney
Aguero/Costa/Pelle
A. Siggy ----> Chadli (I can sell Siggy for 6.4)
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.I'd rather have Siggy (if fit of course) than Chadli.
So would I :/
But fixtures are getting tough for Swansea.Not really, Everton and Arsenal have hardly been tight. Its only the City game then back to some good games.
So what move do you recommended?
Don't know to be honest but B has merit.
WTF Spurs
Should I sell siggy?
Will Siggy drop tonight?
Doubt it very much
West Ham ... A name made up of 2 things ISIS Hate
So what's going in with Siggy and Costa?
Eloping to the south of France to raise 2 adopted African children I heard.
Siggy, Siggy, Siggy in every single post 🙂
Advice lads !
Foster (Courtois)
Baines , Ivan , Clyne (Berty , Azpi)
ADM , Fab , Haz , sanchez (Yaya)
Aguero , Costa , PelleU need to use your wildcard mate 😉
Yea sure
16 points from Ivanovic in the 6 games I've owned him, including 3 late CS losses and a red card. What an absolute ****
Joke?
So it's your fault, then. 😉
Yeah I broke him.
Baines has absolutely smashed it in that time, 8 PPG from GW4
get rid for baines
In the past I preferred Baines, but after Ivan's early performances as a second striker and Everton's dodgy defending I've been firmly in the Ivan camp.
i didnt have ivan early and feel i really lost out but got baines in 2 weeks ago so feeling happy i got him for his streak.
ivan looks like he has dropped away with returns recently. you not tempted to do the switcherooo?Its tempting but no way am I doing it before QPR. Feel like I should be patient as the attacking points are bound to come eventually.
I ditched Terry > Alderweireld a few weeks back to fund Dzeko > Agüero.
The whole Chelsea defender being essential isn't working the same as last season.I ditched Terry for Ivan in GW4, not doing the business. Fabregas instead of Ramires with Matic has damaged the defence.
yeah but fab has been outstanding. more goals, less clean sheets. like liverpool last year
He has, doesn't help when I don't own him! 🙂
You're having a tough time this season Milanista...
Worst thing is I actually think FFSers should be doing well. Its been a fairly obvious season compared to the Ramsey/Yaya trolling of last season yet I keep making a complete hash of it by the tighest of margins.
It's all karma for that Euro 2012 fantasy travesty in the final!
😆 Champiiiiiiiioooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnsssssssssssss 😎
Bastards....
yes terry has also been very frustrating to own
Something wrong with updates? I still have Costa in.
loooool
There's a game tomorrow
Mourinho mind games.
he is in the computer!!!!
Poor QPR and Villa 🙁
Oh, right. GW not over yet. Sorry.
REPOST
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?Siggy Siggy Siggy, can't you see
Sometimes your skills just hypnotize meDe Gea
Baines Clyne Chambers
Eriksen Hazard Sanchez Siggy
Aguero Pelle Berahino
Good to go? A bit worried about siggys injury. Want costa but no idea whats happening with him. Conflicting reports over his fitness is confusing haThat's a lovely looking team there
Good point made earlier about when he will be back. If he plays against QPR then he is also available for Spain so I can see him being 'rested' for the next game too.
Thanks lads. Im hoping he is rested this weekend
Gerrard out Hazard in
leaving me with cesc hazard and costa(c) for (QPR)
good or bad idea?I would t buy Hazard or captain Costa tbh
Just my gut feel
Hazrad or Sanchez, yes
Random false fact of the day
Mauricio Pochettino and Juan Mata are cousins.What's a false fact of the day?
A fact. Which isn't a fact. On a day.
QPR v Villa score predictions?
I reckon 2-1 to QPR0-0 hopefully
Hope Mccarthy starts and 0-0, I think 2-1 QPR aswell
2-2, should be plenty of goals
Anyone getting in Rooney before he rises?
Sterling > ADM done. Nothing ITB now. Giving me
Bego
Berty PVA Morgan
Sigs Tad Fab(c) ADM
Costa Kun(v) Pelle
(McCarthy Boyd Naylor Duff)Do you want to play a game? Listen to how many times Jermaine Jenas says "you know".
Or brendan Rodgers saying "as I said"
Brendan comes across very false in front of the media. Very cagey.
He seems very untrustworthy to me. Rickie Lambert is probably thinking the same thing
I know multiple tranfers for minus points are not popular here, but...
Coloccini, Sterling, Chadli & Costa --> Chambers, Hazard, Sanchez & Sakho/Berahino (-8)
I'm sooo tempted... 🙂 What do you think???Berahino, pull the trigger
Surely you have to stick with Costa now if you haven't sold?
Would you go into next week with the same Costa situation? Mourinho saying he has a chance?
I dont get the Mourinho bashing. It's not like he lied, he said there was a small chance. Costa trained on Saturday so I fully expect him to line up against QPR.
Costa owner who kept him btw
Actually I quite like that. 8pt hit not ideal but decent options.
Yeah, i'm a bit nervous about Costa. I can sell him today for 10.7 and Sanchez & Berahino will rise tonight. So that's 0.3 swing. Would Hazard(c) for next w/e
Ou and thanks for replies 🙂
Guzan or Foster?
Depends.. You have any defender from wba / avl? I went with Wisdom this gw and plan to buy Guzan few weeks later
