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.
Stuart McCall resigned at motherwell
Most people won't know anything about them, but crazy that fans have forced him out after what he has done for them. Team with average 4000 qualifying for champ league qualifiers and Europa league every season. Operating on a shoestring due to complete imbalance of funding in scottish football.
Fans are idiots, hope he gets chance in England again
Thoughts on Lennon as a manager ? . I thought he did a good job at Celtic especially in the Champions League and he is now managing Bolton . Scottish football's stock has fallen dramatically
We (Celtic) are basically a feeder club for poor to mid EPL teams now.
Ki, Wanyama, Hooper, Ledley, McGeady, Forster etc.
Lennon was a good manager for us. I don't think anyone in England wanted him because of his (unjust IMO) reputation as a Roy Keane type, but I reckon he will do well at Bolton.Way above our level
Hard to say what kind of manager he is. Got lucky with rangers situation, not sure a couple of good results in one champ league year proves much
They have been pretty crap. Accies are flying on half the budget/crowd
Yeah, we punched above weight for while, but also got lucky with some poor performances getting results. Accies are just doing typical new team performance, will drop down to bottom six after xmas. Squad is tiny and one or row injuries will tell on them. Actually think dropping down a division wouldn't be bad for us
Despite a poor captain, a good week recovered today
Krul (foster)
Baines - clyne - wisdom
Hazard - chadli - siggy - fab
Aguero (c) - pelle (vc) - Costa
Hutton, Bruce, cork
.0 inB
1 FT
Should I save? I know Sanchez is important but I honestly would like 2 FT for internationals and don't want to destroy my team.
Thoughts are appreciated and happy to give feedback on teams in the DZ too
What to do lads?
Guzan
Baines Clyne Wisdom
Sanchez (v) Di Maria Fabregas Sigurdsson
Welbeck Aguero (C) Pelle
Bench: Dummet, Moore, Marney
Is getting rid of Sigurdsson for Downing harsh? He has 1 goal and 7 assists in 10 games with Bony playing well with him.Yep, keep siggy mate
NO DONT KEEP SIGGY
Thoughts on what to do with this team:
Bego (McCarthy)
Baines Clyne Chambers (Wisdom Duff)
ADM Sterling Chadli Siggy (Boyd)
Aguero Costa Pelle
1 Ft .3 in bank willing to take hit(s) if needed.
-4 for this team?
(Sterling+Siggy+Welbeck>Sanchez+Downing+Berahino)
______________Guzan_____________
Baines_______Chambers_______Clyne
Fabregas_Sanchez___DiMaria_Downing
Aguero(c)______Costa_______Berahino
Subs:
Elliot, Boyd, Wisdom, DummettI would keep siggy if you had him early as his fixtures get better and he has been involved in ~ 55% of his teams goals. Berahino seems risky for me however he has been performing and playong him and downing every week coukd be dangerous
My two proposed moves leaves me with this team:
Krul
Chambers - Baines - Bertrand
ADM - Sanchez - Hazard - Mané
Aguero (C) - Pellé - Berahino.
(McCarthy - Boyd - Moore - Bartley).
Apart from the terrible bench I would only change one other player.
Right, transfers done

Tripling up on Saints defence is courageous.
Had it since GW4. 4/6 weeks its worked a treat.
5/7 even
Great job, their defence has been unbelievable thus far and it should continue for the next 2 GW's.
Its the only thing keeping my rank from being a complete disaster 😳
🙁
Its ok, nothing but green arrows from now.
That's the spirit 🙂
Nice team.
Start planning your sou escape routeIts been planned for some time 🙂
tinkering w/ this, Best move pls? cheers
1.FT Haz>Sanchez
2.FT Welbek>Pelle
3.FT Dcosta>Pelle (allows to upgrade FT Haz>sanchez gw11 and FT Chadli>Walcott gw12)
4. (-8) Haz>Sanchez ; Welbek>Pelle ; Chadli>Moses (4thMid)ARS (swa-MNU-wba-SOU-stk-NEW)
SOU (LEI-avl-MCI-ars-MNU-bur)

STK (WHA-tot-BUR-liv-ARS-cry)
As you have Costa then 1.
2 is a little short term unless you want to keepthx. im strngly leaning 2. pele ag Lei can be a 30 pts affair if C. option 4 too nuts given its an 8 ot afair? i have taken no hhits so far.
why not option 3? u wouldnt want to loose dc?3 could work. I'm tempted with doing DC > Sakho to bring Sanchez in
Can I get away with saving my FT or is something pressing on the agenda for me?
Begovic McCarthy
Baines Moreno Clyne Naylor Moore
Hazard Fabregas Tadic Siggy Boyd
Aguero Pelle Welbeck
1 FT, 1.1m itbI'd get adm or Alexis in
The question is.....how.....lol
Drop hazard
don't need 2 chelsea mids
I like it for the next 6-8
this
one of them to ADM/Sanchez
you have the funds to do it with 1FTYeah it just feels wrong
you could get away with it
but i wouldn't save it
No AdM or Sanchez might sting.
Siggy to
a) ADM (CPL ars HUL STO sot LIV)
b) Cesc (liv WBA sun TOT new HUL)
c) Hazard?
(for -4)Leaning adm over Alexis as my raheem replacement.
same here
Anyone doing a Westham double up? (never thought I'd hear myself say this! 😆 )
Don't have either of Downing or Sakho but would not double up. One of em is more than enough for me.
It could be worse, I was briefly looking at Downing, Sakho and a defensive replacement for Clyne when Sotons fixtures turn but I stopped myself
😆Yep, carroll and nolan when they are back
Yo! Ho's and Bro's
Best defender for 4.5 or less?
Naghton, Collins, duff?duff with those fixtures
Amazing how much better Southampton spent a big wodge of cash than Spurs did last year
And Liverpool this year...Not one bad buy at Soton...
i still think they overpaid for shane long
rest of them have been brilliantYeah, maybe. But as a group they paid under the odds maybe. Good job by Koeman.
To all those who have made transfers already, who have you gone for?
Sanchez and Austin
Done last night as had exact cash.
did Eriksen+Sterling=> Sanchez+Downing half an hour ago
had the exact funds + 2FT
Sanchez and Pelle
sanchez
Sterling & Welbeck > Downing & Costa with 2 FT
Krul/Elliot
Chambers, Clyne, Baines, Taylor, Wisdom
Di María, Chadli, Sánchez, Sigurdsson, Marney
Pellè, Agüero, Sakho
Transfers done , Costa and Sterling out, Sakho and Sanchez inExact same that I will probably do. Not tempted to wait until Sakho is confirmed fit?
I'm on the money so I will have to gamble he's fit
Ah I see, he should be fine. Good luck!
Cheers
Important question. If this was your team, what would you do and when?
De Gea, Gilks
Baines, Bertrand, Chambers, Hutton, Wisdom
Fabregas, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Marney
Costa, Aguero, Pelle
0.2 ITB. 1 FT.Marney captain... now
See above you, getting Costa back after the break for Pelle
currently lining this up for -8 😯 :
Sigurdsson->Sánchez
Sterling->Downing
Welbeck->Sakho
best defender for 4.7 or less? thinking chambers or dummet but is dummet safe when santon returns?
if you buy chambers now you'll get this gw's points included. it's a special that FPL have on at the moment 😉
Wisdom
Fraser Forster should be England No.1, just saying.
He is incredibly consistent and a great shot stopper, it takes time watching him to realise just how good he is.
Fraser Forster only became a decent keeper since he moved south of the border . The SPL is rubbish and players only become good when the play in the prem . Fact
Defo
Agreed most GK's never have to save a shot in the SPL 🙄
Agreed
At least Superdunny realised I was being sarcastic
🙂
Went right over my head
I thought you all were.
Do you think that Kane will be playing first team for Tottenham next week? does poc really have any other option but to bring him in?
The lad deserves to be playing. I fail to see what more he can do to prove himself
think he might play in europa and on the bench next week
If he starts getting first team football at 4.8m, how could anyone resist
no doubt but I have my concerns over whether he will be nailed on until he starts a couple in the prem
And you're right to.
Downing (c)? Aguero probably rested
doubt aguero rested
Rested for?
Surely. Against CSKA man 😉
he will play v cska and then again at the weekend I reckon
Nah. City playing at home. Jovetic is back. Pelle could easily lineup some good front 4 without Kun leading the way. He took him off after 80 mins in Manchester derby for christ sake 😀
Lol
🙂
Is this madness
Sanchez to Adam
Siggy to downingYes, absolutely insane.
Sanchez-> Adam?
Not at all.
wtf
Genuinely just lolled.
Charlie Adam is essential
I assume you meant ADM. Wouldn't do either move.
😆
Keep FT for international break or do you have any other suggestions? 1FT, 0.0M ITB.
Guzan
Baines Clyne Wisdom
Sanchez (v) Di Maria Fabregas Sigurdsson
Welbeck Aguero (C) Pelle
Bench: Dummet, Moore, Marney
When are fellow Eriksen owners shifting him?
Is he near dropping?half an hour ago
Don't think he's anywhere near dropping atm.
Has OR updated? I don't seem to have moved since yesterday so can't tell.
yes it has
It has, I moved 100k in the right direction for a change.
Hi, what do people think of this wildcard team? One change to it could be fab -> chadli and pelle -> costa. Any thoughts much appreciated!
Guzan, Foster
Chambers, Jagielka, Taylor, Dummett, Clyne
Fab, Siggy, Sanchez, ADM, Boyd
Aguero, Pelle, SakhoAnyone considering 3-5-2 with all the mids available?
Never
Never ever.
Not when Sakho, Berahino and Austin are scoring so well - all better options than Downing the best midfielder in their price range, IMO.
Can I be on one of those really good bandwagons from the start please.
Harry Kane.costa > kane
1 deflected shot for a spurs side that was piss poor today
no bandwagon for melol
