A number of midfielders are amongst this evening’s 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 Costa’s recent form, assess Sergio Aguero’s displays compared to recent campaigns and take time to assess QPR’s in-form frontman after another impressive showing in yesterday’s narrow defeat at the Bridge.
any jon stewart/stephen colbert/john oliver fans on here?
John Oliver is sooo funny.
Hi All - had a good week myself, 95 points, my best so far!
Any tips moving forward?
Forster / (McCarthy)
Clyne / Baines / Wisdom / (N. Taylor) / (Duff)
Fabregas / Di Maria / Sanchez / Downing / (Boyd)
Pelle / Welbeck / Kun Aguero
1 FT, 0.0 ITB.
Thinking of saving the FT and have two for next week. Going to have to replace Clyne/Forster very soon when they run into their tough fixtures after a few weeks.
Thoughts?
Congrats on your week. I'd save as well. Good team. Who are you captaining ?
Tossing between Pelle / Aguero / Baines.
Thoughts?
you should be fine to roll over. You have the main suspects for this week already
My thoughts too, thanks for the tips!
2:13am and I'm trying to decide who I want to use my FT on. Shouldn't really be this hard.
Current defence - Luis - PvA - Clyne - Naylor - C Dawson, Luis bound to lose his place for stupid reason, who to bring in? Is Baines a no brainer or am I late to that party?price changes already happened for tonight. Baines still has decent fixtures ahead. Maybe if you want to be different you can go Coleman
Best?
1. (-4) Cesc + Welbeck > Sanchez + Sakho
2. (-4) cesc + Welbek > Pelle + 5.2(Jedinak/SDavis/orBoyd)
3. (-4) cesc + sigur > sanchez + 5.5(Moses/Bolasie/orBoyd)1 or 3 maybe with Moses
I don't like any of those. Save and do it for free next week.
I second this though 😉
think pelle is a must have thats why. he has LEI at home, and that could be a goal fest. uneasy not having him and cant get him in w/out a hit,
yeah he's brilliant hey. You been watching last week tonight on hbo? He's really come into his own. Really funny and insightful social commentary
werkself
I cannot begin to explain how pissed off I am at myself for choosing Rose over chambers couple GWs ago. What a difference.
Murphy's law for getting that Jags goal and haul, MR. 🙂
Lol jags is a bap whore I love it
So everyone's rushing to get ADM suddenly? Meanwhile I've been planning on ditching him for Sanchez all week. Hmmmm
AdM has CPFC at home while Sanchez has SWA away
Wrong GW to be ditching ADM for Sanchez.
I'd hold him, Chris.
Wrong week to make the switch. Sanchez could do well again this weekend, but Di Maria has a great fixture
ADM is worth holding onto. I do want him in my team but I'm prepared to wait till after the Arsenal game. So Don't buy, but don't sell either.
Wrong week to ditch should have done it last week.
If u did it last week youd have been given the same answers!!
Trust me.
Sanchez is in danger of becoming fixture proof..
ADM certainly not.
Right so shifting attention to my UCL team now....if anyone out there is playing it this year....have Draxler to sort out and nothing itb. Looking at Kagawa as an even replacement but a little nervy on whether or not he will start but also not keen on waiting to do the transfer after the lineups are out and the site possibly not working. Any ideas?
the site should be fine with the line-ups as many like myself played one matchday and forgot about the team. So I do not expect much traffic. Yet, nothing is guaranteed. I'd have a ready plan of what I want to do and wait for formations. especially with Kagawa losing his place with Gondugan and Reus returns
Yeah was thinking maybe it will be okay....but can't put anything past the incompetents who run that site / game. Good idea though, cheers mate.
if you could push up to koke then get him, assist machine...but if you can't id prefer calhanoglu to kagawa, as shinji hasn't really hit form yet 🙂
I would but I already have Koke 🙂 I have Bellarabi so I don't want to double on their attack as they have not exactly been firing lately. I thought Kagawa has been looking very bright for them lately...though I think he did get removed against Bayern with cramps so I am just concerned they may not risk him on Tuesday.
Ahh the inevitable begovic fall, it finally came
I think you may do well to go back to your old grav, MR. I think this new one has brought you some bad luck...just an idea.
Lol been meaning to change it for ages but I cbf 😆
Here's hoping he can (finally) deliver that elusive CS at White Hart Lane this weekend.
I think I'm just going to play Green instead. He's getting more points
who will take alcaraz's place?
Distin the forgotten.
ahh cool. He must be getting on. Been around for ages
will cesc rise to 9,8 this gw?
He already has
sorry.typo 9.9?
a) Sterling --> ADM this week
b) Siggy + Pelle --> ADM + Berahino next week
And great to see another huge victory for Team NZA
A....easy transfer to make, that, GK. Aye - as we march into the finals 🙂
A
Why would you want Berahino next week? yuk.
Thanks very much all, appreciate it. Just seeing if anyone was still waving the Sterling flag
Berahino at home to Toon - see he could easily score there Baps...Sorry. Would bench next week Baps. Just was my way of not getting a -4 hit
I suppose but not the best fixtures. Could have easily scored v Lei this week too but didn't.
hey dz. am i correct in thinking of..
mannone + schneiderlin for fabianski + downingYes
Would get a different keeper
who would you get in MR?
tossing up between fabs and green, but i can't bring myself to get a qpr keeper.Probably Adrian
very good shout indeed, didn't even think of him. cheers.
sounds good mate, nice grav too 😉
cheers AR. i guess yours isn't too shabby either 😛
Looks good to me
Swansea facing a set of stiff upcoming fixtures. Perhaps Adrian ahead of Fabianski? Schneiderlin has Leicester at home too though. Maybe look at other transfers this GW?
yeah ARS and mci the next 2, but i think heaton is sufficient cover with HUL and sto. after that swansea's fixtures look tasty. schneiderlin failing to make an impact on fantasy, plus fixtures turn bad after avl, whilst downing has the form and fixtures on his side.
i don't really have any other pressing issues to be honest, save the free you reckon?If you can afford it, perhaps look at Schneiderlin to Downing only & roll the 2ns FT to next GW/International break?
Calamitous GW has seen an overall rank go from inside top 10k to outside top 30k. Brutal with no Chambers, Downing or Sanchez.
Sterling has finally been culled. Downing comes in
Begovic (McCarthy)
Clyne Bertrand Naylor (Wilson, Moore)
Fabregas ADM(vc) Downing Sigurdsson (Boyd)
Aguero(c) Costa Berahino
What to do with the other FT? 3.0m in the bank
A. Berhaino > Pelle
B. Sigurdsson > Tadic
C. Other?
Thoughts appreciated
Clyne/Bertrand > Baines
Southampton have Leicester at home for the upcoming GW - inclined to keep both Clyne & Bertrand for another week. Thanks Acruzen
Will Cresswell be the Chambers of this week?
Wouldn't surprise me tbhNor I. He's looked bright. Damn those towers for not putting him in the game at 5.0.
5.5 for a West Ham defender, they had to know that was absurd.
Only 3 of my team play CL this week
Looking at a cheap replacement for Berahino from GW12, pick one -
Sakho (Bare in mind I'll have Downing aswell)
Austin
Weimann
Ayoze
CisseAustin and QPR seem to be on the rise.
Has to be Sakho due form and fixtures.. he will be my replacement
Austin is in great form.
Sakho ahead of all those other options, for sure - even with Downing
Sakho if you don't have Downing. Berahino is in great form but would need to be benched GW 12 + 13. Austin or have a look at Ulloa from GW12... some nice fixtures too
Do you think Mannone will start today after 2 times doing blunder previously?
I have Krul in the bench....I think Krul will come on for you.
1. Welbeck & Downing
or
2. Sakho & Siggy
2
Welbeck and Siggy > Valencia and Downing
Worth it or not ?Not at all
Prefer Sakho to Valencia
for free, yes
actually i would just do the striker trade and roll one over
Sterling => Oscar? Yay or Nay
What does the rest of your midfield look like? Any other CHE cover.
The move is good this week thoughI have Fab, ADM, Tadic and Downing
Very nice. Looks good then. Maybe have a look at Chadli too
Sanchez or ADM? I have neither right now
Form says Sanchez, fixtures say ADM, pick your poison
Form over Fixtures is what i hear.
ADM
I'm getting in ADM asap now and keeping. Feel he is pivotal to Man U while many other options at Arse could pop up in form as Alexis is doing now (Walcott, Welbz, Rambo)
So Aguero got be a green arrow from yesterday...hope not many in the top 1K buy him this week but it seems plenty are buying (and selling Costa)
I'll be overtaking you after auto-subs... 🙂
For now anyway 😉
Any replacements for the Bera? Or should I keep for 1 more week? 0.2 itb
Keep.
Keep if you need a hit to replace. Shift if its for free... Sakho.
This is my current team.
foster,
baines, clyne, Chambers,
Fabregas, ADM, chadli, Sterling
Pellets, Welbeck, Aguero
subs: begovic, Moore, duff, boyd
if i want to rid sterling for Sanchez, which player should go to compensate for Sanchez price?
should i switch augero and sterling to diego costa and sanchez.. i also have berahino idk what to do about him? any advice would be nice
Aguero is the best player in the league, would be crazy. He should have had 4 goals yesterday
hold steady on kun and eject sterling imo-what would that leave you?
For those in the top 10k or thereabouts, what is your Team Value right now?
I am sitting at 11k OR and am pretty happy with my season thus far except a few captain misses, but I am worried I am sitting below average on TV as I am sitting at 102.6 right now.
104.4 here
104.6. Sold Fab and Siggy in recent weeks so it would be quite a bit higher.
105.1
105.2
103.9 for me, holding Sterling is hurting..
102.7 it'll shoot up this week though
105.5
😯 well played Muppet. That's going to come in handy.
Cheers. I certainly hope so.
103.8 here. But no Fabregas all season so far...definitely regret picking Mata over him at the start of the season.
During the international break , I am considering doing
Clyne Bertrand Tadic Welbeck >
Duff Chambers Downing Costa for a -8
Will captain Costa home to WBA to cover the hit
Will lose the Saints just before fixtures go very hard
Duff good fixtures Chambers good until Xmas
Downing good form fixtures
Would leave me :
Bego
Baines Chambers Duff
Downing Hazard AdM Sanchez
Aguero Berahino Costa
*Excuse the long post , boils down to is Costa worth breaking up team for ? I'm leaning towards yes as great fixtures coinciding with Southampton badI'd fancy Southampton's chances of keeping a cleanie against a Benteke-less Villa. Maybe lose one defender but I'd keep one for sure, not worth losing them for a hit. I'd consider downgrading Hazard instead of breaking up your team.
After villa they have 3 tough games and Costa won't have WBA home again , thanks for reply though , still very early days got this gw to get out of the way first im way over thinking 🙂
couple of things
-people seem to suggest that SOT are nearing the end of the world-they seem fairly fixture proof and after those 3 fixtures they play burnley?And what about saints fixtures before 'big 3'?
-de costa -is he all that or has he blown his gasket-see big numbers article-would tend to back up my view that with operations being muttered out ,that this is not a time to bank on costa or break ateam up for the same.It's tricky with them because they have a run of 3 hard , then 2 easy then 3 hard again , it's Costa ownership what worries me ,,I got lucky this gw but his fixtures are so good I feel it's silly to ignore , I got Tadic for his 23 pointer I fear lots of 2 pointers to come before next haul and Clyne and Bertie surely can't keep this CS run up ? Thanks for reply appreciate it , it will be a lot clearer after next week , or maybe other problems will arise
sterling to Oscar or downing?
Downing
can anyone tell me how barkley looked against swansea..?
i currently have him in based on last season, his price, potential and fixtures. but if he isn't playing anywhere like he was last season i'm thinking of switching him out.
