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.
Reading the papers this morning and looks like Bojan had a good game..Sheesh.
Bojan...there's a bandwagon that was destined to fail 😆
Yeah, nice to see he had a good game though...Back to the reserves next week.
Hey Wakey.. what are your thoughts on Oscar? popping up on any of your tables? cant afford FAbs/Hazard so thinkin of punting on Oscar for a few weeks before swapping for Wally/Sterling. On Wildcard
Oh yeah..Great pick. He's been up there for a few weeks. Better pick than either Cesc or Hazard imo..or at least on a par...http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/4382/
Cheers wakey.. getting him in with the intent of having a short term fling. May end up keepin him for the foreseeable if he does well over the next 2/3 though. thanks
Not Wakey but hope you don't mind my penny's worth ..If you don't already have Fab/Haz than yeah worth a punt.
Cheers mate..
nicely priced now too... Not going near him tho, he is far too inconsistent, and basically not good enough really
When do players price rise/drop?
When managers get excited.
And when do managers get excited? Could I expect some change tonight?
Just a reminder that I'll be posting a community article at 10am to launch the search for Gameweek 11's Scout Picks community champion.
...spoiler alert - good selection last week with Magerost doing rather well and currently beating two out of three scouts...He's also currently in poll position for a £100 Amazon voucher.
Last week was a good week to be a community champion not many gw scores will beat his 70 0dd. Decent chance for the 100 pounds
they'll be plenty more good gameweeks to go. Great week for Scout Picks this week again.
Have just enough to do Welbeck to Aguero.
I guess I should wait until after the Champions League game right? No chance if them rising/falling is there?
Correct wait till wed night
Thanks D
I'd wait but I imagine Aguero could possibly rise.
Morning folks. Anyone know why Eriksen was withdrawn! Should owners be worried?
Was considering downgrading Ramsey to Eriksen to allow Hazard > Sanchez, but now I'm seriously considering downgrading Costa instead. I get the feing he's on the down (in addition to or maybe as a result of his injury problems). That would allow a direct upgrade of Ramsey > Sanchez and leave cash spare to upgrade Chadli/Siggy > Wally
Could also do Siggy > Downing and lose hazard for Sanchez but I don't like that option
Yes. The managers of Spurs and Liverpool are both barking mad. Howling at the moon.
Think it was tactical he was having a quiet game. Chadli looks best spurs option by a mile unless Kane gets a run
I have Chadli. His goal was very welcome yesterday.
How long can his rate of goals to shots last?
His rate of shots is pretty good though as far as I know. You could say the same for Costa, except his shots have dropped
😎
Who scores more?
A) Costa + Downing
B) hazard + Sakho (+0.8m)
2nd one.
Also known as B
A
We're agreed that Sakho will score more than Downing, right? Downing's points seem to rely on him playing centrally, which might not happen all the time. Even when he does, his conversion of chances is poor.
Then it comes down to Costa vs. Hazard. Costa will score more goals, but for each goal Hazard scores, it's worth an extra point and he's far more likely to get bonus.
Not trying to convince you, just thinking aloud
B can also include any budget striker so it's flexible long-term. A means sticking with Downing
A
For how long? This GW? Over the season? Next 4 or 5?
Sakho more likely to outscore Downing once he's back, Downing won't play as part of a front 3 anymore.
But unless Hazard finds another FPL gear, Costa will outscore him by quite a margin.
A...just.See above regarding Hazard vs. Costa.. not sure it's so clear.
Put simply, Hazard PPG 5.4, Costa 7.0, but Costa to miss more games surely?
Sounds argument with the extra point for Hazard, but Hazard is no longer Chelsea's star man. He's been very unselfish this season and his assist potential has been solid, but his goal threat not as great as I'd like it to be.
Costa is their man man now, their big finisher to put away all the chances their star studded midfield creates.
He'll comfortably outscore Hazard, imo.
P.S I don't own Costa and I have Hazard, not planning to get Costa ATM though.
For the foreseeable future, you should go with Hazard though...I can see Costa's output dropping a little for now + the injuries and all that. The loss here is outweighed by the gain you get in Sakho over Downing.
So B.
Good luck!
Hope that was helpful and not confusing 😆
For foreseeable future... until January WC I guess. B would leave me with:
Hazard Sanchez Siggy Chadli Boyd
Aguero Pelle SakhoThat looks better. Go for B.
A
B looks more tempting - it depends what you do with the 0.8, I guess.
Well that spare cash plus what I would have in the bank already would allow me to upgrade Siggy/Chadli to Wally.
Or I sell Pelle and get Costa back.
Cheers all. Leaning towards selling Costa. Strange change in heart considering I kept him this long.
Last Man Standing safety score currently 41 before hits.
So 41 = safe?
lucky me 😀One game & autosubs to go.
41 currently safe but unlikely in 24 hours.bummer
i'm on 41 all out, no hits
Right then, let's spit it out.
How essential is Sanchez?
Worth a 4pt hit to get?
Even if that involves selling Tadic or Dai Maria?
I told myself Sterling to Sanchez wasn't worth -4 this week
Lost me 10 points.
I'd dump Tadic for sure. He's had his explosion and his good fixtures are drying up
Leicester at home......
true
I'd still rather have Sanchez than Tadic it all depends on the other player involved
sell away with tadic imo
Depends I your team. He won't continue to dominate as per last 3 weeks.
Tadic can go, hold ADM.
Nope.
Wouldnt lose either of them for a hit for him evs, i dont think hes essential....burnley at home man, we all knew he would do well this week
Everyone's feeling the pinch then?
For Tadic, yes
ADM probly not
I did Tadic and Welbeck to Sanchez and Pelle.
and he was lucky v @Sun
depends on how much you think he's going to rise. I think you should hold off one more week if you can eat the rises-you know di maria and tadic will punish you if you get rid of one of them.
He does look extremely dangerous though
Tadic has 1 goal so far from great fixtures, Sanchez is definitely worth it.
and that was a gift
Cheers lads.
All depends if Sakho is fit now, as he'll be in for Welbck.
Anyone else out there ignoring Sanchez?
swa and UTD are likely to be tough games. going to reassess after them.
Would love to get him but just cant seem to fit him in.
Kane or sakho?
Kane.
Sakho
Morning! All out at 71. Not too bad 🙂
10 pm here
87 all outNice one! Seems heaps of peeps had a plus 80 week.
I took a C punt on Fabs.Ta
Same thinking sort of (c) hazard
2nd GW my rank plummets w 37 points :/
70 here.
69 and a red arrow. tough game
66 here and a red arrow 🙁
Must be hard at the top!
I got a small green and stay in the top 10K.
89 and out, up to 433 OR!
Awesome! Kick'n ass
88 1 to go.
69 all out
Repost:
Now that things are calmin down.. Please help, I seem to have all the wrong players, suddenly..
Chester + ADM -> S.Taylor + Sanchez
Eriksen + Sterling -> Downing + Sanchez
Any of those look good? Or should I just ignore Sanchez :O
Team:
Krul Guzan
Baines Chester Moore Wisdom Duff
ADM Sterling Eriksen Siggy James(Leicester)
Captain Costa Pelle Aguero
2FT .1 bank2nd one imo
ADM has a decent fixture next week.
So latter sounds better.I like both.
S.Taylor game time not guaranteed once Williamson returns.
Perhaps the second option only if you have lost faith in Eriksen.Definitely the latter move

Current mids
Fabs ADM Siggy Downing Sterling
Siggy + Sterling > Boyd + Sanchez -4
Or save FT?
May have missed the boat on Sanchez
Thanks
As you have Downing I think I'd do it.
Cheers
Nah sounds good to me
The transfer sounds good or my current Mids? 🙂
The transfers
Ok cool
Sounds good
Looks good. I've just done the same
I used to be poor and so I bought a thesaurus.
Now I feel more impecunious.@shariv67
I appreciate that one!
(Pecuniam means money in Latin for any non-Latin speakers on the forum)
Anybody thinks this is worth a 4 pointer?
Cesc + Welbeck > Sanchez + Sakho
Rest of the team:
Forster
Baines, Bertrand, CDawson (Naylor, Moore)
Haz, Cesc, ADM, Siggy (Boyd)
Aguero, Pelle, WelbYes should pay off long term if not immediately.
Yes I think so.
I am debating losing Costa myself very soon, for BonyShould have just kept Austin. 🙁
I'm still happy with Saido, though I could switch later as QPR's fixtures take a nice turn
I've moved onto Kane. Lol.
Keeping an eye on that one
see no reason to part with Saido atm
was unlucky this week, is still scoring well at home and has pens.
If Kane nails down a spot things may change,Might WC soon so can get rid of Kane very easily then if needs be.
If he starts v Stoke I'll be so pleased.
Nothing wrong with Berahino.
Can't lose Cesc. Although you do have Haz...
Gonna get Costa soon, don't really wanna have all 3 even though they will score well.
I do
Do it. Not too sure of the -4 but you should have Sanchez.
Early Check for GW11 :-
Lloris
Baines Chambers Clyne
Sanchez Hazard Diame Tadic
Pelle Aguero Welbeck
Krul Duff Boyd Moore
Looks ok? 1 FT 0.7mn ITB.Looks good.
Cheers
Lloris AND Krul is quite expensive. how many times are you going to start Krul ahead of Lloris? and how many times is it going to pay off?
Well it didn't work out this week. Spurs at City away I started Krul who got 6 but Lloris got 8 due to a penalty save. Can't seem to pick the right guy atm.
Ditch welbeck
Thinking welbeck > sakho on a FT. Need to somehow get ADM in as well.
Good team
Cheers mate! 🙂
Bego > Heaton ?
(Consider post break fixtures)
Nah Burnley are properly awful.
I know they've been bad but they was resolute the beginning of the season and have great fixtures , Stokes go sour
Yeah I'd get rid of Begovic, but there are better keepers for 4.5. Krul or Foster for example.
Pretty sure Pellegrini isn't the Spurs manager!
Did Demi write this?
It says it was Paul.
Not officially no. But that doesnt mean he isnt really.
Arsenal fans have said for at least the last five years that we should play 4-4-2. Wenger is such a stubborn git.
Anyone ignoring Sanchez?
Considering it......
Nope. Just got him in now.
same, got him in about an hour ago and let myself out of the Sterling noose
Nope
nope just got him in
Yep ignoring for me and hoping the other big hitters make up for it
Eyes firmly on Walcott.
Any news on Eriksen (subbed at half time)
He was having a stinker and had been booked. Don't think there was any injury.
Krul/Elliot
Chambers, Clyne, Baines, Taylor, Wisdom
Di María, Chadli, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Marney
Pellè, Agüero, Diego Costa
0.0 ITB
Trying to fit Sanchez in...
Any thoughts on Costa and Sterling out for Sakho and Sanchez -4 ?
Am getting Costa back after the breakSeems risky. I wouldn't be dumping Costa just to get him back soon after.
Find another way imo.Can't see any other way, can't lose Pelle, Baines or ADM now
Same problem with me Gaz.
Has to be either Pelle or Costa. I've stuck through Costa all this time, have to keep him.
Wish I bit the bullet and got rid earlier (of Costa)Me too, but can't get rid of Pelle now, Pelle -> Costa after the break best option I think
Who would you ship Costa to in the meantime? Sakho?
Yep
Unsure w/ this one, anyone can giv it a look? thnx..
1.FT Haz>Sanchez
2.FT Welbek>Pelle
3.FT Dcosta>Pelle (allows to upgrade FT Haz>sanchez gw11 and FT Chadli>9.1 Walcott gw12)
4. (-8) Haz>Sanchez ; Welbek>Pelle ; Chadli>Moses (4thMid)
* option 4 i like a lot, Have not taken any hits so far. cost me sanchez that. not sure if too much.
team: adm - haz - downing - chad - *obertan
welbeck - dcosta - aguero
2FT and £0.
Howard,
Clyne, Chambers, Wilson
Tadic, Siggy, Sterling, DiMaria
Ageuro, Costa, Pelle
(Gilks, Chester, Colloccini, King)
Thinking Sterling, Tadic, Colloccini -> Sanchez, Downing, Dummett for -4. Can't see how to get Sanchez in without a hit whilst keeping a decent starting 11.
Have 2 FTs. Tadic & Downing for Sterling and Siggy? Already have aguero costa berinho ta adm fabregas..
Sounds good. Do it
Is there any point doing Siggy > Downing when Siggy fixtures are good in 2 weeks? Had Siggy from the start at 6.0.
No, don't do it.
Keep him.
Cheers lads, he stays
Sterling is going, ADM or Hazard in? Was leaning towards Hazard earlier but ADM is involved in everything for Utd.
ADM
Di Maria is in some proper shit form right now. Hazard.
You really think he's in bad form?
Dire. So many bad touches, crap corners and keeps kicking the ball too far forward when dribbling.
Still could have assisted at least twice today and could have scored. Away to City with 10 men.
adm,easy
ADM
Do you have any other Chelsea?
I think you'll want United cover tbh. We probably should have scored today and ADM is easily our best player.Ivan and Costa.
ADM had me nervous quite a few times today.Hazard has engaged in so much points dodging this season
I almost had no hair left after the Swansea game
I have number 1, might as well add number 2 🙂
Massive goal involvement for ADM.Great. Indeed.
Number 4 screams explosion imminent
He does. He is my biggest worry, this week.
Thanks all
Chadli and Aguero points have brought me back into the top 100k.
If i average 55 points a week for the rest of the season, as I have so far, top 100k is in the bag right?Chadli and Aguero have halved my ML deficit.
It's more about how your points compare to everyone else's!
i know. but i mean, historically what has 55 points/week gotten rank wise?
