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.
Interested to hear what's people's game plan? I have currently opted for a big front 7 with a cheap rotating defence. I thought I was on a good thing but no chambers and no Baines has hurt me.
Current team is
Forster
Clyne Wisdom Duff Dummett Yun
ADM Sanchez Fab Siggy
Kun Costa Pelle.
Is the uber defence a viable option or should I downgrade a mid or forward?
I've decided this year to sacrifice a big hitter upfront to enable a Coleman/Baines double-up.
There are lots of viable cheaper attacking assets this year (Sakho, Berahino - maybe Austin and Kane too)Agree but all are inconsistent over a whole season not sold on Coleman but really want baines. Which of my front 7 would you drop?
Siggy to Downing to upgrade Clyne.
Other option is Pelle to Sakho/Berahino
I decided to do without Costa, due to his ongoing injury niggles.
Cheers think tank I was thinking Siggy to downing to upgrade 1 of my cheapies to chambers. clyne is earning his keep
people are selling maria when he is playing agt palace lol..
shhhh
He could be a great captain option this week
No need to point out everything
ADM season keeper for me if he keeps performing like he does. He's on every set piece. Getting his fair number of goal attempts and those passes forward ๐ฎ
Was crap past 2 games. 1 assist in 3 for an assist king. Sell when everyone's selling!!111
Hazard stepping up.. Nice
Pelle+welbeck+ivanovic/sterling >> aguero+sakho+wisdom/downing (-8)?
Yay or nay?
Keep Pelle this week.
keep Pelle, captain candidate this week. mental to sell.
Thanks lads
Worth doing Fab -> Adm for a hit?
My mids are haz,fab,downing,sanchez,boyd. No costa.You have Hazard too, so yes for me.
If you have Hazzard could be a good move how much do you loose on fab?
If i remeber right he was 9.6 when bought him.
I think Hazard to Maria would be better...
Thanks all!
Keepers and forwards bot changing
Kaboul Bertrand wilson chambers duff
Sterling Fabregas tadic siggy Boyd
2 FTs, 1.2m in the bank. How would you fit in sanchez (can't do siggy to downing)Wilson to Dummet and Sterling -> Sanchez if possible.
Kaboul > 4.0 free up enough?
I sold Sterling and Tadic.. Don't like the idea of selling Tadic tbh, but I would do it within two weeks anyways so I decided it made sense, and kept Siggy.
same logic I applied Don. Feels wrong, but made sense. Hand was forced with Sterling dropping rapidly, Sanchez rising, and selling Sig would mean two 4.5s in my team. Hence had to sell Tadic for Downing - best option at that price.
Couldn't afford if either of them rose - and rose they did.Hope it turns out well for us ๐
Hi guys,
Anyone have any idea on Sturridge's return date? I thought he was due back this weekend but Physio Room still says "no return date"?I won't be surprised if he's rushed back and then injured again - which is what happened with his latest injury.
Rodgers is a crap manager who has no fecking clue how to manage his resources.
๐
if your team is failing to score but choose to play an individualistic showboater, while a proven PL goalscorer warming your bench something is wrong.
Then playing Sterling on random positions when it's clear as day what his best position is, or when resting your best player for an 'easy' PL game yet fielding him for 180min in the fecking C1C...not sure what he's trying to do tbh.
Ha, I do rate Rodgers, but Suarez did cover a lot of gaps last season.
Really debating on keeping Sterling if Sturridge is due back soon. Even if I have to suffer another price drop over the coming week. With Sturridge back, surely Sterling will pick up a few more points..
Heard on Talksport this morning that the word is early December on Sturridge.
Ah balls!
either way, doubt Rodgers plays him again prior to the upcoming international break. Also wants to keep him from being selected for England.
So should be eased back into action towards the end of this month.
Rank - 32,079
Points - 565
Begovic
Chambers - Bertrand - N.Taylor
Sanchez - Hazard - Tadic - Siggy
Aguero - Lukaku - Welbeck
Myhil - Boyd - PVA - Moore
1.9 in the bank and 1 FT
Any advice welcomeLukaku to rooney or costa
Why write the points btw?That's a good plan and one I am considering
Just trying to give as much information as I could incase somebody recommended I took a points hit for more than 1 transfer
Lukaku and Welbeck could do with a shift.
Who would bring in?
Is that some sort of humble brag about the points?
Lukaku > Pelle.Just trying to give as much information as I could incase somebody recommended I took a points hit for more than 1 transfer
Moses only have 3 assists? ๐ฎ
What to do with this team? 1ft .3itb
Adrian
Baines, Clyne, Chambers, Naylor, Moore
Sanchez, Fabregas, Tadic, Sigurdsson, Boyd
Aguero, Costa, Berahino
Sigurdsson to Chadli or Date I say Januzaj?
Naylor to ?
Save ft?Januzaj is a crap pick. Judging from his performances. He's taken 2 steps back and that's sad as a United fan.
Would save.
He's a crap FPL pick yeah. But to say he's taken 2 steps back is a bit harsh! His final ball has been poor but other than that he's still causing defenders a lot of trouble and wins loads of free kicks.
He was exciting when he was taking defenders on last season, but now it seems he'd got abit of the Valencia about him - 1 trick. Thankfully he has that bit of pace to win free kicks...but I would like to see more development from him.
He still plays with his eyes glued to the ball rather than watching what's around him. Past 2 games he's often found himself plastered to the sidelines by defenders where he can't be influential.
Cheers. Just Man U's home fixtures tempting me to get a player in. With Rojo having his shoulder injury is McNair an option?
Nah just avoid Utd's defence. Rooney or Di Maria from Utd and that's it really imo.
nope, just avoid United defence personally. That's a transfer out waiting to happen anyway.
Any chance Sterling to drop low as 8.0?
2 more drops incoming by Sunday morning guaranteed.
Could be real steal when Studge is back and priced something around 7.9-8.3.
a blank against chelsea and 8.1 atleast will surely be possible by GW 12.. that's when i'll prob be tempted to get him ๐
My thoughts excatly.
he's still a fantastic FPL prospect but unfortunately, Liverpool is wayyyy out of sorts. Never seen a team flip on its head as much as Liverpool compared to last season.
@Christina
nothing in the mail ๐
I send you the website link...
I just checked. It's there. Third line...
๐all good
just a delay in sending but got both mails come in now.
cheersno probs.
have a look at the link i sent.
it's good.ta
so i just headed to the site.
first thing i notice on the right hand side in the comments feed -FORCAYeah. Only place is welcome. And of course he is throwing his wait around now that he scored 105pts this week. Going on about how he was 30 pts behind me and now he is 40pts ahead of me.

Thanks to all those who replied last page btw
what are you gonna do? Looks like your gonna have to drop Tadic or Kaboul who both have good home fixtures
Kaboul probably. Will start Bertrand chambers and duff all with reasonable fixtures
Please Mannone dont play, i have Krul as me sub keeper.
i expect Mannone to be dropped, Panti deserves a chance surely
Poyet has hinted at it.
Ye think Mannone might be gone aswell think you could be in luck
any1 buying Kane? he's gotta start now surely, thinking of doing Welbeck to Kane after Europa League game
Wait for him to get starts surely?
nah i fancy the punt, great differential if it pays off, means i can get upgrade midfield the week after ๐ 4.8 is gonna be a steal if Poch has any common sense
Fair play. He'll be a great enabler if he does.
i like welbeck but been looking for a cheap striker since i missed out on Berahino and Sakho but luckily ive got Downing so Kane could be a gem if gets going and if hes not starting i can play 3-5-2 with ADM Cesc Downing Siggy and Walcott (when i get him) aguero n pelle upfront
I keep thinking Kane could be a good punt
He probably will play the full 90 in the Europa league game.
Too much uncertaincy. Best striker at Spurs atm but not sure if Pottechino feels same.
Probably those who bought McCarthy.
Done my Ft, is this lot good to go? Dump one of siggy or Naismith or stick?
courtois
baines clyne chambers
sanchez hazard chadli downing
pelle Naismith aguero
subs myhill siggy colo moore
Siggy pretty expensive to be on the bench
The midfield is a bit of a benching headache really
Siggy, Sterling - Sanchez, Wanyama
I know it's a late move but I feel I need to get Sanchez in2 FT
Is Eriksen to Downing a good shout?
It would give me the funds to do Alcaraz to Baines.
I'm a little worried about spurs's good fixtures so my alternatives are alcaraz to creswell or Jagielka which I can afford already.
I wouldn't want to get rid of Eriksen this gw. I wouldn't bring him in but I'd be worried he could 'explode' this gw
+1
Yes that's my worry. What would you do in my position? £1.8m and 2ft in the bank. Alcaraz out. Eriksen and Tadic are the mids I would consider selling...
don't know then. I wouldn't want to get rid of either of them. I'd want to make room for Baines somehow tho
Sterling + Siggy to Downing + Chadli
(No hits)
Yes or no?Yes
@nigel tufnel easy the best grav pic I have seen
Thanks, mate. One of my all-time faves.
New crowd, hopefully new opinions...
Sterling, Siggy & Welbeck > Sanchez, Downing & Sakho (-8)
Worth it?
I could just do Sterling & Welbeck > ADM & Sakho (-4) and forget about Sanchez...
Wouldn't fancy having 2 West Ham attackers myself. Fixtures are good....but West Ham.
Mmm I'm thinking the same. Although they do look like one of the better attacking sides this year!
Must be some other way to get Sanchez in? This is not great
Morning guys,
Did Sterling/Siggy > Sanchez/Boyd transfers last night and now regretting it ...
Krelliot
Baines - Bertrand - Chambers ( Chester - Moore )
Sanchez - Fabregas - Tadic - Boyd ( Isgrove )
Aguero - Costa - Welbeck
Stay patient and downgrade Welbz next week, to upgrade Isgrove the following? Or wildcard and sort out my bench fodder?Mid is a tad weak for me, but, I wouldn't touch it now for a hit or wildcard. Stick it out.
I'm wondering how much longer I can give Isgrove. I've checked his twitter account. Seems to be enjoying himself watching films and playing video games.
Theo:
“It’s amazing to be back,” he told Arsenal Player. “I know you don’t really want to be putting dates in the mind but this date was always in my head that I might get on and have a go.
“It was quite emotional. Everyone’s been very patient with me and they still need to be patient as it’s not going to happen overnight. It was such a great feeling.
“I want to help this team but we need to be patient. I’ll be patient and the boss will be as well. I just want to do what I do best and that's just to enjoy playing football.
“I feel very quick, very strong and very powerful. All those rumours of Hector [Bellerin] being slightly quicker than me are not true at all!”GW 13
Sterling + Alcaraz to Downing + Baines
(No hits)
Yes or no?
Yes
Need to get Sterling out, already have Chadli...who do I bring in? Not enough funds for Sanchez either.
depends who else you've got. I'd be looking at Sanchez, Hazard, AdM etc..
Oscar?
*smugness alert*
I think what I'm most pleased about this season is the pick of Wanyama, tbf I've been quite lucky with him coming off the bench a couple of times, but I always felt that he would contribute more attacking wise this season with Koeman's tactics.haha, very nice, and not entirely untrue ๐
๐
Thanks for the warning. Most of these ferjies don't bother
Begovic (Myhill)
Lovren Clyne Wisdom, Tomkins (HUTTON)
Sterling Eriksen Downing (Fab,Siggy)
Aguero (C) Costa Berahino
Got 2 FT. Looking to Sterling & Eriksen ->
A) Tadic & Oscar?
B) Bego & Sterling -> Heaton & any suggestion?
is Rafael fit to play v.s Crystal Plalace ?
Looks like it but you never know with him. Have to wait for Friday pressers
Cheers mate
Currently have (AFTER 8 POINT HIT)
DDG Gilks
Clyne Chambers Wisdom Colo Chester
Sanchez Fabregas AdM Downing Marney
Aguero Costa Sakho
0.2 bank
If I play my WC I can bring Baines into the team by downgrading DDG and a couple of the other defenders (means sacrificing Soton defence though) giving me
Foster Myhill
Baines Chambers Wisdom Dummett Yun(?)
Sanchez Fabregas AdM Downing Boyd
Aguero Costa Sakho
0.3 bank
Is it worth activating my WC essentially to recover the 8 points whilst accommodating Baines?
ThanksI'm going to say no.
Ok thanks
No way. It's tempting I know but it'd be a waste.
Thanks ๐
Fabregas or Hazard? And why?
Oscar ๐ .. Cheaper than both. On direct freekicks.. playing in the hole.. looks nailed on now. 36 points in 5 games ๐
This
I currently have Costa and ADM. If Costa blanks next week and Rooney plays well, I will do Costa ---> Rooney. Then I plan to sell ADM to bring in one of the Chelsea midfielders. So that player will be my only Chelsea cover. Is Oscar enough?
Fab, consistency
This
haz, costa still away from fitness
3 different answers is your answer
Krul
Chambers, Terry, Clyne
ADM, Sterling, Siggy, Fab
Aguero, Sahko, Costa
Hutton, Wisdom, Marney
Which would you go for as i have 2FT:
A) Terry > Baines
B) Sterling + Siggy > Sanchez + 5.3m (milner? jedniak?)
C) Sterling + Siggy + Terry > Sanchez + Milner + 4.5m mid for -4B Milner
