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.
Bit of debate for the evening: If you could use a debit card to spend real money on extra FPL money, would you? What's the most you'd be willing to pay for an extra £0.1? Just wondering.
1
Billion
Dollars.....(evil laugh)
Not too much tbh
Would completely ruin the game, it'd make it a pay to win sort of thing.
Well, that's a fair reflection of the Premier League nowadays I guess..
If you want to ruin the game, no chance
The game is never that serious to spend actual cash. But that's just me.
Well my mates and I have a bet on our league, so that is sorta spending actual cash. Not for me though Im winning 😆
Agree that it would ruin the game, but plenty would pay if reasonably priced.
Why do people still take what Willis posts seriously?
I don't. I just find it funny 🙂
I find it funny reading all the serious replies to his trolling comments. Especially when they get into a one-on-one debate 😀
Btw, are we in the final of the hokey pokey?
Unless Zaha gets 30 goals.
Good. I should be up and running again next week.
Sorry about this week.The final's in GW12 so you can have this week to recover.
That's silly though...why no final this week?
3rd v 4th. Don't know why the final couldn't be on the same week tbh.
Bunch of amateurs.
🙄
The 3rd place game is this week
Yeah, that's stupid. Probably doesn't want us to steal their thunder.
😎
Suspense and theatrics
We've got a bye next week. Final is GW12 so just make sure you rest up over the international break 😉
Will do.
It's like Zaha and Mannone(or 8) vs 80 points or something, so yeah, we're through.
Because he is an Estuary.
If I was Mark i'd ban him. Giving bad advice because you're not very good at FF is one thing, but doing it on purpose under the guise of help?
There are many, many more I would ban before Willis.
Not sure you can ban someone for that. Pretty slippery slope to get on imo.
A bell needs to be hung round his neck, though ...
Not an anchor...? How kind of you, Doos 😉
Price changes tonight please?
I have it on good info that there will be price changes tonight. Don't worry.
Thanks (and bookmarked)
any reason not to get rid of ADM + Moreno for Sanchez + Chambers??
ADM should outscore sanchez this week imo
i think sanchez will outscore ADM long term though. more of a goalscorer
I agree with you, but I don't think it makes sense to make that switch this week.
Losing AdM for any mid in the game ahead of Palace at home is not something I would even consider.
this. I am buying him this week
I wish I could....I am looking at taking a hit to bring him in the following week...I need to make three transfers to get him in.
Fixtures
LEI and BUR in the next 5...
I want Caulker back!!
QPR are going to be kak against one and all I fancy.
Well several results and performanes already disproe that.
disprove
Care to point out which games you might be talking about?
Scores of 2, 6, 9, 6 in his home games so far (apart from LIV where I wouldn't play him) are pretty good.
Have they won a game yet?
Last week Jafa! They've won 2 actually 🙂
I was talking about QPR 😉
So was I 😕
They've actually been solid at home so far.
They gave me a good scare when Austin scored on Saturday
Morning fellow Gaucho
Too many NZers around right now. Makes our work easier
Yeah we can wind a few up ha ha always the same ones who post though we're are the rest of em
They were very solid against Chelsea
Yun is just as decent a pick imo.
Chambers hurts more then Alexis.
Oh so much so, I would have had a happy week otherwise
Why?
To me it seems many in my ML gained 20 odd points on my even though none had Sanchez. They all had Chambers.
A defender that scores & keeps a CS(not to mention score an assist) in the same GW is massive to a rank.
Just look at Evs(64) and Trigg(58). "Decent" scores, even without Sanchez.Yes, but you could have had him. Even the Kiwi would buy him at 4.5 ...
You can't have em all Doos. An it's not if Arsenal were keeping CS. They even conceded 2 at home vs Hull.
They have played Sun & Burnley the last 2 games. Prob the weakest teams in the league. Let's see what they do now.
Chambers hurts a lot...
In top 280 Man United fans
Is it warm? Stuffy?
Funniest thing I've read all day...
There is no one higher than me in the Celtic fans category.
A lot easier among casuals
Congratulations, must be a new world record.
Although I imagine you're now very sore....
I'm the leading person in my country - Kiribati. It's well boring here.
Was just looking through some options to possibly replace sterling with, and found some flair picks in Navas, and Fellaini. Anyone else looking at these guys for a short term (4 games pick) with their respective teams tasty fixtures?
Navas always looks quite involved far up the pitch, and against man city, Man U just kept bombing balls up to Fellaini all the time. They were always looking for him to bring it down. Anyone?
fellaini looks interesting...
Fellaini maybe, not so much Navas. Nasri is a better option.
I must have been watching a different game this morning, but I thought Navas was atrocious. Fellaini is a red card waiting to happen and I don't think he is nailed. Pass on both for me.
+1. Navas was very poor today imo, plus he's always a threat to be rotated.
Navas didn't look that hot today, and Fellaini isn't a bad player, but don't see him being a good FPL points player.
While i don't have Oscar, think he is a good punt for Sterling. Only risk is that he may not always play, but you have the same risk with Navas, Fellaini, Nasri, ...Oscar is a good shout as well. I already have hazard and costa tho, so that's why I was looking elsewhere. Always seems that once you put Oscar into your team tho he goes missing. Maybe it's different this year.
Navas didn't look great this morning, but he won't have shaw on top of him every week tho as well, and he still got 3 shots away. Same with Fellaini, he won't have kompany hiding in his back pocket all game prevented those close range headersPreventing* sorry. Bloody phone
ADM will outscore Sanchez over the next four gameweeks, people.
🙂
starting this week 😀
The arsenal one?
I agree.
Yup
Could do for sure...not over the season though..
have both anyway. Both will score well
I'll take both please.
Thoughts on Geoff Cameron? I transferred him in earlier this GW. ( I had to get someone in he 4.5 range)
OOP-good call-has concreted his place in DM but will come up with attacking goods occcassionally
goodcall
Stoke have a tough patch of upcoming fixtures. I think there's value to be had elsewhere in DEF. Add the fact that Cameron isn't a certain starter... risky pick IMO
I think he is a certain starter. Was by far the best player on the pitch for stoke imo. Whelan is also injured for the next month or so, meaning he will slot in easily in that mid-field spot. Try telling me a better option at 4.5 or under. I already own Foster and Dummett
I wouldn't mind doubling up Dummett and Steven Taylor 😛
I would...... 😯
From the perspective of a double Stoke DEF owner (Begovic & Wilson), they've offered minimal returns so far this season. Cameron at the price appears to be value, but the lack of Stoke CS, mean he's no better value than a Burnley, Aston Villa, West Ham, QPR defender- all of whom have better upcoming fixtures than Stoke. Just an opinion though
Villa have conceded 2 + goals in the last 5 or so games. No west ham defender at 4.5 or under is nailed. And im not touching a QPR defender...
And I already have Duff so I don't want to Double up.
Fair play in that case. Believe me, I'd love nothing more than a couple of consecutive Stoke clean sheets!
Easily could've scored this week, had a sitter right in front of the net. Besides that, solid pick he is playing well
Isn't it a good thing that he had a chance to score? Look at it from another perspective 😛
oh yea def I meant it in a positive way, as in he will probably keep his starting role and possibly score in the future.
If you still have Costa and not Aguero .
a) keep Costa
b) switch Costa to Aguero
c) accommodate both at the expense of weakening your other positions
C
C probably
C. No brainer
C until the trail runs cold for 1 of them.
D. Wait for Aguero injury/merciful god
On 26th December we have 1 GW and on 28th we have another...they could've just given us one big DGW as a Christmas Present
2 GWs in 3 days is even better
this.
I like DGW's
Lads
What site are you boys using to gage price rises and falls?
Fplstats
Fplstats
Replied to u last page btw mate
Cheers buddy, just clocked it.
fantasy football fix
^ this
Steven Taylor is for now safe right? They seem to be winning games so why would he go back on the bench right?
It was an actual post below, not a reply fail... Think I'm grabbing him for my FOX team
you don't change something that works so at 3.9 could be a steal
just realized, Steven taylor was captain on Saturday so surely will remain in the starting team I would guess!
Liking those Chadli numbers
Not liking those Costa numbers
Getting rid of Costa ?
Not yet, but certainly thinking about it
Same here
chadli numbers have been great this season.he's quite underrated here
Thought Spurs were very poor again today. Not a great team at all. Lucky goals. Very crap forwards
I watched the game and it's misleading. Forgot he was playing until the goal. Thing is you can have a touch in the box when going to retrieve an overhit cross from the other side.
Spurs in general are a bit poor atm
But Chadli is still getting me points, I'll look at moving him on in a few weeks when fixtures turnDoes seem to be getting the breaks. The corner just floated over everyone's head and arrived at his feet. Suppose that what it's all about, arriving at the right time.
I'm very tempted by Kane in a Naismith swap.
You need to jettison Naismith fast
I am not regretting shifting him for Berahino
Very true this. He was lucky to score tonight!
Chadli or Downing??
Is it close?
Yes it was a close call for me on Friday between those two, went Chadli. Hope it was the right decision.
Downing based on fixtures. Chadli based on goal threat.
Chadli without a doubt
Sterling- Downing done!!
A day late I suppose..
Hope he does well.
Gives some extra money to upgrade elsewhere anywayGood move, I reckon. He used to play for Villa so I can see him being up for this one in particular.
Seeing the mammoth scores on here this weekend was kinda depressing.
Seems the community has a load highly ranked early doors including 2nd overall as it stands.
Only the people who did well post their scores. Always been that way.
This. Always annoying just gotta scroll a bit faster..
only the high scorers post right? Like how it seemed for the past 2 weeks there were no Costa owners...but Friday presser, it seemed like 100% of the site owned Costa.
If you were to guess, what value will Sanchez be on saturday morning?
10.8
10.8
Do you tihnk QPR can do a "West Ham" against MC?
No
They can do a Sunderland vs saints tho
nope
Facing Aguero on the form he is in, no hope
Never one to follow the herd..but..i seem to have become all template all of a sudden
Krelliott
Chambers Baines Toby (Wisdom Duff)
Hazard ADM Downing Sanchez Chadli
Berahino Aguero Pelle... the herd is following you! 😉
I have almost the same team as you Wakey, but have Coleman at the back and 5th mid fodder.
I do very early transfers for £'s..It's starting to show in some teams now.
Can't work out why folk are selling Fab for Hazard though...madness...
Haz looks like he has points in him, penalties as well. I have Fab and doubt I'll make the switch until Fab picks up his 5th yc
I've had Hazard for over two years so he's part of my FPL furniture. But I wouldn't be in a rush to ditch Cesc for him.
Yeah, I had Haz all last year and caught the captain hattrick against NewC too.
When Fab gets his 5th, Haz ownership could explode. Till then, Fab can do no wrong.Fab to Haz could also be for fear that Haz may be out of reach if ownership picks up and a few price rises occur, especially with people stretched for funds with Sanchez now gaining a following.
Guys... Hazard to Sterling (-4) is good right? I just pulled the trigger because I was worried Sterling's price might rise.
Sounds great ....
Phew, cheers Randy.
Risers and Fallers?
Risers: Chambers Jedinak Dummett Diame
Fallers: Rodwell Skrtel Begovic Sterling Mirallas Evans de Jong Januzaj Gomis
Need a forward for 5.2 or less
A) F. Campbell
B) Ayoze
C) Kane
D) Vardy
E) Naismith (is there still something in him)A
I'm thinking this too. Only one nailed on and in a decent team.
I went kane.... puntingggggggg
could be bargain of the year if Poch has sense
I almost bought him last night. But he's likely to play more in Europe and be a sub in the league.
C
Anyone planning to get Costa after the international break?
Im in two minds either ADM for Eriksen or Costa for Pelle
leading towards Costa due to fixtures WBA ,Sunderland, home to Spurs
o/
Just don't have a clue how to fund it!
Am just leaving that up to the ff gods to reveal the path.
I was contemplating it, but I am sort of liking the idea of going with a monster midfield right now. Hazard is so much less of a headache and with pens he should steadily tick over. Also so many wonderful cheap striker options right now. Who knows though, a lot will happen between now and then 😀 What are you thinking of doing? Going to bring him back in?
I've planned so that I can do a straight Welbeck > Costa swap next week 🙂
You would. Hmm..been going without him for a while now and have quite enjoyed it but don't know if it will catch up to me. Something to ponder for sure.
With the value of Downing and Chadli in midfield, the option of squeezing Costa in as well is almost too good to ignore 🙂
Hah yeah. good problems to have honestly. Can't go too pear shaped either way. Or at least I think not 😀
i could do the same but gonna grab sakho and adm this gw instead
Ahh I've already got ADM. No Chelsea mid gives me a few more options compared to the majority of you lot 🙂
true but on the downside you have no chelsea mid 😛
😛
This is what I'm looking at doing, more or less, instead...very tough call.
tough indeed
Pelle is my problem.. who do I replace during saints tough run? I'd be selling him at 8mil Costa would be the best replacement i guess
Me, but it means a drastic restructure , minimum 8 point hit if I want to keep the 3 amigos
maybe. Might downgrade the fabulous one to make up the costa selling pelle
I thought this was a season of slow risers and fallers.
How come Sterling has managed to plummet 0.5 in a week?
I'm starting to think is it even worth getting rid now because of the .5 loss!
Same, I don't know who I could bring in for a hit for a max of 9.0 that is guaranteed a start this week.
My options are:
a) Ramsey - being eased back in after injury
b) Walcott - being eased back in after injury
c) Silva - injured
d) Oscar - don't think I want Hazard, Oscar & Costa
e) Nasri - being eased back in after injury
f) Eriksen - Spurs look poor and I have Chadli
Walcott outta them
Yep exactly. This is the thing! All the players around him I don't really want and now the .5 drop it's even harder to get the player I want in (Sanchez)
I'm trying to find out when Sturridge is due back, after Chelsea, Liverpool have a nice 4 week run of games. If Sturridge is back for then, it would be worth sticking with Sterling ..I think.
Downing?
Will he continue on this purple streak tho? Worried I've missed it.
They do have some nice upcoming fixtures tho to be fair.
Harsh seems unfair
eh?
The high ownership means dropping can happen very quickly
Will it slow up now he's back to his starting price?
Yes - It will now - because, as you say, he's back to his original price. He needs 140k NTO for his next drop. It'll still happen with the rate of sales he's getting - but he won't get there as quickly.
Sorry I don't know. His ownership is still high though (44%), so there are still lots of people who could transfer him out.
Combination of Liverpool being awful at the moment combined a number of form players catching people's eye
Di Maria's new position gets a no no from me 🙁
where has he been playing?
hopefully he gets a more advanced, central role against weaker oppposition. Fellaini is restricting his favoured position
Yeah lets hope so, he isnt in the game on the wing.
for those who have NOT WC, plannng to WC:
1.now for gw 11
2.gw 12 for the intl break
3.after gw 13 no time set.could be next yr.3
shirokov: when and if so, how r u planing to to bring sanchez?
4. Duno reali
I took my third -4 of the season yesterday, WC still intact. Won't use it unless it's a must
3 DGWfest or mass injury/suspension crisis
Looking at my team is causing me a headache , Bego Clyne Bertrand Tadic Berahino Welbeck have all done a decent service but need to go soon , I am already considering a 8 or 12 hit after the break to set up my team nicely
Madness.
BL
You: Bertrand, Chambers/Siggy and Heaton
vs
Me: Duff, Downing and Forster
😯Looks like it's Downing vs a defender capable of getting assist then
wow. So pretty much comes down to siggy vs downing. That's brilliant. You two are probably representing half the community each.
#team siggy
