A number of midfielders are amongst this eveningโs members piece, as we take a look the in-form options at Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham and Tottenham. We also cast an eye over Diego Costaโs recent form, assess Sergio Agueroโs displays compared to recent campaigns and take time to assess QPRโs in-form frontman after another impressive showing in yesterdayโs narrow defeat at the Bridge.
what transfers do you guys recommend i make over the next few weeks?
Begovic
Baines, Clyne, Bertrand
Sanchez, Fabregas, Tadic, Siggy
Aguero, Costa, Sakho
Appreciate any thoughts ๐
triple southampton might not look too clever in a couple of weeks
yes that's true but who would be the best replacement
walcott for tadic, n. taylor for clyne (from GW13 swans have good fixtures)
replacement for Ivanovic up to 5.7 value?
rest of defence is Baines, Clyne, Wisdom,Hutton
Chambers
Cresswell
Chambers, gibbs
WORLD NEWS - issue 2: http://youtu.be/UWR-2zJUICc
so I've kneejerk Sterling -> Sanchez.
Should I kneejerk Siggy -> Chadli now?
Planning to do Pelle -> Bony in a few GWs
A-Downing and baines
or
B-Dorrans and Sanchez??
Hey guys, I kinda want to get rid of Sterling but have no idea for who. Can you please help me out?
Krul Foster
Baines Bertrand Rose Chambers Hutton
Sanchez Fabregas Sterling Siggy Boyd
Aguero Pelle Berahino
0.1 ITB
1 FT
Cheers ๐
Tadic maybe
or ship out Siggy for Downing and bring Siggy back in a few weeks.
Tough on there pal. I downgraded Ivanovic to do the Sterling > Sanchez, but can't see how you can do it without 1-2 hits.
He already has Sanchez dude
Finally got Tadic in. Swapped him for Sterling. His form/fixture looks way better..
I want to get rid of Tadic soon, he pulls all the strings but rarely gets on the end of things.
Going to replace Sterling. Which is best?
A) Oscar
B) Sanchez & Chadli -> Boyd (-4 pt)
C) Sanchez & Siggy -> Boyd (-4 pt)
D) Sanchez & Welbeck -> Kane/Jutkewicz (-4 pt)
I didn't realise the sky game man of the match could be different to that chosen by the commentator during the live game on sky, as that always been the case?
yes
Thanks, it seems very strange.
Sky motm is a fecking joke
Foster, Krul;
Baines, Clyne, Bertrand, Hutton (inj), Moore (dropped);
Sanchez, Hazard, Sterling, Tadic, Cattermole;
Aguero, Welbeck, Berahino. 1FT (£1.1m)
My knee is saying I want Chambers before the rise and I want to get rid of Sterling, but my head is saying leave it. What should I do?Sterling should go, his price is decreasing at full speed
Unless you dont have any issue with money
Downing is a budget alternative if you dont have yet
Hows this team
Bego
Clyne Chambers Naylor Dummett Moore
Fabregas Sanchez Adm Siggy Boyd
Aguero Costa WellbeckSave transfer
Similar to my own, so I like it
Looking at the season ticker, should we not all be seriously looking at bringing in a MCI defender? And if so, who do we think should be coming in?
No, no one but Kompany is nailed
fair point. Shame as their fixtures do look appealing.
Clichy could be good value at 5.3m but there's the Kolarov rotation to bear in mind. I think the others are too expensive for what they return. It's a shame that there's no really reliable points winner in their defence.
What are your thoughts on Jamie Redknapp? To me, he really does come across as someone who says the obvious. However, he does know a lot more about football than his old man!
I have no clue what he has doing there. Did he ever win a medal in his career?
I find it especially hilarious when he's sat there on Champions League nights alongside the likes of Souness, Hoddle, Seedorf, Henry etc etc
So Jamie, tells us about your Champions League experience?๐ True.
The living epitome of everything that's wrong with football coverage on television in the Sky era. I find him almost impossible to watch or listen to.
Don't like him as a pundit at all, like a wee boy trying to impress his elders is how he comes across to me.
Mentioned earlier that Souness seems to have an open contempt for him, also got my knuckles rapped - didn't I SD ๐I love SuperSouey ๐ Can listen to the guy talking about football all day
Should I do Costa, Sterling -> Pelle, Sanchez for free?
I own both Pelle and Sanchez, but I think Pelle has a proven scoring record which suggests he could grab goals vs any opposition. So I think it's a good move for free.
Nowhere else to find money to fund that midfield trade besides losing Costa?
Not really. Well I could do ADM/Fabregas, Sterling -> Sanchez, Chadli. But don't know about that either.
Is Milners gametime in threat due to Nasri's return?
Yes
Yes. Though he may survive
Been very surprised by how good he's been tbh. With Silva out will be Navas who makes way.
Great player imo. Allways work hard for the team.
I'm a lurker not a poster, however, which Premier League player reminds you most of yourself? Mine would be James Milner, unspectacular but very reliable. Yours?
Stuart Downing. Fails to achieve what he's capable of
Until recently
Torres when he played. I have a similar playstyle to him.
Pre Chelsea move?
Mine is kinda obvious.
I played semi-pro in my younger years and people called me Carlos as I was fast, 5ft 7 and a bullet shot :-D... so I'll go with Kolarov
Just noticed... Carlos looks like a dark Danny Devito!
smaling , clumsy but lovable
Not if you talk to Utd fans
i tend to literally bites off people during my playing days ( 6yo ), so id say im a suarez,
not taht i have a dribbling skill like his though
Juan Sebastian Veron. Touches of brilliance but a little inconsistent and erratic. We were born on the very same day too ๐
Ha, I share the same birthday as one of my idols and although I modeled my game on him I was a pale comparison, Graeme Souness.
Yeah, that's a tough one to live up to without being banned from Sunday league football ๐
๐
Golden rule, let them know your there in the first few minutes and who's boss, usually worked..... usually. ๐
maybe do it even slower then. Get him for those nice back to back home games with no hits
to walsh
Aww just for me ๐
Yeah...probably more sensibile to do that....
Hi all,
Howard, Gilks
Chambers, Cahill, Clyne, Wisdom, Naylor
Sanchez , Sigurdsson, Sterling, Marney, Mané
Costa, Welbeck, Aguero
0 in the bank, 1ft
Advice please.
Sterling about to drop again..
Downing or Chadli in maybe??
Hiya lads, not got off to a great start this season but i have to be happy with moving from 918, 309 to 467, 477 in just this gameweek don't i?
Is it realistic that i can still do well? like top 20k by end of the season?
Team for next week is:
Krul
Chambers - Bertrand - Wisdom
Eriksen - Fabragas - Hazard (v) - Sanchez
Aguero (c) - Costa - Sakho
__________________________________
Hamer: Moore, Hutton, Albrighton
Comments/advice much appreciated.Of course that is realistic still pretty early days. Team is looking solid.
Cheers Walsh, liking my team at the moment, nice words of encouragement too ๐
Yeah plenty of time to get up to that level. Honestly can't see a lot I would change about your side, would probably save the transfer unless you get any injuries.
Cheers man, yeah just hoping nobody gets injured between now and next gameweek haha, should be fine though.
You keeping Eriksen? I have him but think he's my week link at the moment. Did you watch the game today? Do you know why he didn't return after the break?
Yeah i think i have to really against Stoke at home, and i did watch the game today and had absolutely no idea why he didn't play second half, i expect him to start though next game, if he blanks or doesn't feature much i'll be shipping for Downing. He could of easily got something second half if he'd stayed on i reckon as well, and he would of had an assist if Adebayor could finish a 1 v 1 ๐
i've gone from 219k to 2.9k in 3 weeks so yes ๐
Wow! nice going Champ, and cheers, hope so, just setting some realistic aims.
I've gone from 550k to just under 3k in six weeks so anything is possible.
See a lot of people getting rid of Sigurdsson. Isn't it a bit harsh? 1 goal, 7 assists from 10 games from a player under 7M is a good return. Yes, there are other options but is Downing a better player? For me, no. He just has better fixtures.
Siggy isn't actaully shooting in recent matches... it is really clear in the member's area. And tactically, Downing is the better fantasy football player at the moment.
A switch to Bony in a couple of weeks should cover the Palace and QPR home games ๐
Im looking to get rid, but only to bring in Sanchez. Otherwise I wouldn't think about it for the reasons you mentioned. To be fair, Sterling will have a better run of fixtures after this week too for what its worth.
Just do sterling--> sanchez to avoid price drop.
Will monitor again after int break
Agreed. Happy to keep.
Gone top of my ML and am fine tuning my squad. I have a midfield 4 of Downing, Hazard, Fabregas and Sanchez and they can all assist/score but perhaps Fabregas isn't as explosive as the others (allowing for Downing's value).
Walcott is clearly high on my watchlist but I think it won't be until after the international break that he starts regularly. Would you consider bringing in Di Maria for Fabregas for free or wait for Walcott?
Cheers!Yes, if you have the money rattling around
Do you fancy Utd to score 2+ vs Palace?
Also worried about which Liverpool team will turn up vs Chelsea.
The international break comes at a great time for Walcott to get some more time to train and find his feet. That said, he's still a big question mark to me even though he looked GREAT in his cameo against Burnley. If you can do Fab to AdM for free this week though, I'd make that swap, as I think he's a far better option and could easily have a double digit game against Palace this weekend. Sort out what to do about Wally later when you actually want him.
Hey Walshy, yeah it feels a bit of a luxury transfer but every man and his dog has Fabregas now and I'm thinking Di Maria should match or better his returns while freeing up a Chelsea spot in my squad.
Great use of the Costa funds bringing in Hazard and Alexis TS.....i would certainly consider bringing in ADM for cesc and spreading the big hitter 'cover' Cesc's fixtures better tho i reckon, high risk however does equal high reward in these sorta decisions.
Thanks. Despite taking hits to bring them in and I don't think I was ever too worried because of the goal threat they have. Sterling is struggling at the moment but he's right up there too and I think the Newcastle game was the only "behind the sofa" moment.
Losing Fabregas is a different kettle of fish. I've made 0.4m if I see and as a result can't see me buying him back so it is quite a permanent move. Thankfully, there's Walcott, Di Maria and Oscar who I think have a good chance of matching his scoring.Think long and hard about it bud. I sold Cesc as a make weight for Baines and really should of dropped Sterling....i've been trying to work out how to get a Che mid back ever since.
Will do, sure. Di Maria's price is on a downward trend so no rush by the looks of things. Good luck too!
๐ cheers
Hi all,
Before I start...I'm one of the gutted ones that didnt go Sanchez this week! Payed the price.
Now looking to rectify with the following move:
Siggy+Sterling -> Sanchez+Boyd
No hit.
Is this a goer?
Cheers,Yep seems decent. Is Boyd going to be your 4th or 5th mid?
Boyd would be my 5th mid, Chadli is 4th
All good
He's my 4th till I sort the 5th regretting the move because of that.
It was a rage knee jerk transfer at 5.00pm.Cheers
Did these moves last week (except Obertan instead of Boyd), so I'd say yes. Mind you, Arsenal have now played Hull, Sunderland and Burnley and other defences may not be so generous.
Very true. I havnt actually watched Sanchez, but is he starting to show that he is a must have regardless of fixtures/defences?
Absolutely. I'd say he's playing a little sharper than Hazard at the moment, and more clinical in his finishing. Wenger has even switched to a 442 to allow him to play through the middle - wish I'd know that before the weekend... I'd have captained him in a heartbeat!
Thanks for that. Yeah, I have Hazard as well. I havnt been convinced by him (even after 10 this week) by the potential for explosive points has kept him in my team all season.
Will go for Sanchez then by the sounds of things. Ive already missed out with the price rise and points this week. Got dominated in my ML because of him being made captain.
Crikey same move as myself.
Yeah. Im just gutted I didnt do it last week. Worried the Sterling transfer will come back to bite me though.
Do it.
About to. Thanks all. Heres to Sterlo keeping quite for a while longer!
Sissoko worth a 2 game punt with wba & QPR? Will replace Milner.
Not for me.
Not sure Milner will play at QPR after being taken off and Nasri back
I would have my concerns as well, especially with UCL, but I wouldn't really want Sissoko under any circumstance.
He's playing more centrally and Newcastle full of confidence, plus low ownership, thought it might be worth a punt. Thanks for the replies
Cheers mate. Good luck in whatever you decide ๐
id prefer downing
Have Downing already.
chadli?
He's the other option. I know he's scoring but is generally a pretty poor footballer. Cheers for answering
Stick with Milner - he played well again today
I got him in after the Chelsea game, big fan of his but Nasri is back and I see him losing minutes immediately. Cheers
Anyone work(ed) behind the counter in a bookies? Reckon I was left short on a payout but dunno if I'm able to question it tomorrow?
Question it with the manager for defs.
What was the bet?Will do, just a small accumulator. Over 1.5 first half goals in Real - Granada, Juve, Atletico and PSG.
I very much doubt it. There is a chance i suppose. They may have been 'up' by the same amount when they closed up last night. You never know your luck.
More likely the f ucker serving you pocketed it though!Yeah it's unlikely I get anything, it was only a tenner so it's not really that important, just it feels like throwing a tenner away. I'll chance my arm anyway
Once was paid out 90 quid too much so can't really complain!
Benteke being out for three weeks is good news for Southampton defence owners ๐
He was on my shortlist to replace Pelle in two weeks time ๐
Mine too. Was very sad to see that red. He was looking like his old self again today too. Oh well.
Thoughts on Oscar?
Sterling -> Oscar worth it?That's a move to seriously consider.
No Chelsea mids for me atm..
Are there any issues with game time?Yeh gametime worries me a bit as he has been up and down but he is playing well + Chelsea has good fixtures.
Anyone knowing if Begovic is likely to drop tonight?
Yep he is according to one of the predictor sites anyway
According to FFF he is. Better hurry if you want to sell him!
http://fantasyfootballfix.com/price/Don't like the idea of telling them my password. Do you trust it?
i need PVA CS tomorrow ๐
Not likely.
ok ๐
he might score a goal though ๐
As long as Palace win, I won't object ๐
I Need Mannone to be benched
Far more likely - got Krul coming in?
I need a forward for 8.6m .....
i need a heroooo
Pelle, Sakho, Berahino
got Pelle, whens sakho back?
Bony from GW13 but this is GW11.
hmmm
pelle/bony/sakho/berahino
Got to be Bony from GW13
This.
