As we brace ourselves for yet another international break, we turn to Saturday and Sunday’s fixtures and delve into the data in our first members article of the week. We assess Southampton’s chief creator and main frontman as the points start to dry up, cast an eye over Chelsea’s penalty box predator, Man City’s talismanic Argentine and Newcastle’s recent defensive displays as the clean sheets keep coming for Alan Pardew’s men.
Anyone think tadic will rise again by the end of this coming GW?
He's being sold.
Mm thought so. Was shocked to see him rise yesterday
That was just leftovers that bought him before LEI. Now loads are selling.
At least I can afford a drop now after yesterday's rise 😎
Gday peeps,
What would you do with this lot?
Guzan Gilks
Clyne Chambers Baines Hutton Wilson
ADM Fab Sterling Downing Boyd
Costa Aguero Naismith.
1FT 0.9 in the bank.
Comments much appreciated, thanks in adv.Naismith to sakho or Austin?
Worried about Sakho and Downing?
Fabregas and Pelle >>>
A] Costa and Chadli
B] Costa and Siggy
C] Austin and Hazard + £2mA
B,imo.
B. Swansea fixtures about to come good again
B
Should I save FT this week? (1FT, 0.1 ITB)
DDG; (Gilks)
Bertrand, Jagielka, O'Shea, Coloccini; (Duff)
Sanchez, Fabregas, Downing; (Siggy, Marney)
Aguero, Costa, Pelle
My biggest concern is not owning Baines.
Also which two to start among O'Shea, Coloccini, Downing, Siggy?Save I reckon, or downgrade Bert and upgrade Jagielka if you want Baines. Alternatively you can go Fab - Chadli and upgrade Bert to Baines.
I would start Siggy and O'SheaI'm thinking of downgrading Pelle to Austin/Sakho to do Jagielka to Baines.
That would work too but sold on either of Austin or Sakho in the long run.
Will Cisse's price drop soon or I can wait till next week?
Id be getting rid ASAP tbh, even a swap for perez is looking a great move
But Eriksen was immense under Sherwood, how come he is so shit under Potch? I think he's one of the most talented player in PL ......
he hasn't been passing to Chadli enough
no one else is scoring
Simple. Poch is sh!t.
Haven't been utilised properly, often shifted to wings where he is not good enough.
Its simple. Luxury players like Eriksen, Mata, Silva, Toure, etc need everything to be built around them in the AM position. When they are out of position or given too much defensive responsibility they become ineffective.
Add Ozil to that list 😛
He was shit before Sherwood too. Many forget that.
Well the opposite can be said about Chadli too 🙂
😉 😉
Heaton (Guzan)
Baines Ivanovic Bertrand (Dummett) (Duff)
Mane Hazard Chadli Sanchez (Arfield)
Pelle Aguero Kane
Any FT you can see here gents?
I'm thinking Ivan ---> Chambers
Pelle ---> Costa
and Mane ----> Siggy in the next few weeks.I'd rather get NTaylor rather then chambers now tbh
this
Went from This
Fabianski (Krull)
Coleman, Clyde, Jagiielka, (Dawson, Shlupp)
ADM, Chadli, Downing, Tadic, (Diame)
Pelle, Costa, Berahino
To this
Fabianski (Krull)
Baines , Clyde, Coloccini, (Yun, dummeet)
ADM, Chadli, Downing, Sanchez , (wanyama)
Pelle, KUN, Austin
Using WC what do you think of the new lineup ?? Is my defence a lil too weak here ?Yes or No?
Pelle+Tadic+Fabregas > Costa+Sanchez+Boyd (-4)Not this week. I rate Southampton as being among the league's top 3 attacks and Villa being among the worst 3 defenses going into this game week. At least this is what the statistics say.
Help on the previous page would be appreciated too! 🙂
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/11/09/the-big-numbers-gameweek-11-3/?hc_page=19#hc_comment_8807077Ah yeah, I forgot to say that the saints trades would be next week, with only the Fabregas>Sanchez part this week!
Who would be your 4th/5th mids?
Downing Boyd
What happened to WHAM and Sakho/Downing this week?
Did Sakho look rusty after his injury?
Downing has pretty decent stats from the weekend, just a minor blip I reckon. Sakho had 4 SiB just all off target. Rustiness....maybe.
Yeah, looking at last 4 weeks.
Sakho's shots on target are shocking.
😯
Both got in good positions and were unlucky not to come away with attacking points
Hmmm, I'm nervous to double up with Sakho AND Downing.
West ham could of had about 3 goals in the opening 15 minutes alone. Look very good going forward but just lacked the finishing in that fixture. Downing was immense
apparently downing was v good and unlucky not to get an assist
not sure about sakhoTheir stats were strong. Just unlucky I think.
Best move here with 2 freebies and 0.0m in the bank?
A) Wisdom -> Dummett
B) Pelle -> Austin
C) Wisdom & Pelle -> Azpil & Austin
D) Chadli & Pelle -> Sterling/Oscar & Austin
Krul
Baines, Chambers. Yun
Sanchez, Hazard, Chadli, Siggy
Aguero, Costa, Pelle
Elliot, Wisdom, Hutton, AlbrightonDo a boring 5th mid swap and roll the other FT over imo
Not a lot out there for 4.3m. Gibson?
Any ideas? 1m in the bank
Foster
Bertrand Wisdom, Baines (Duff, Chester)
Hazard Di Maria Sanchez Downing
Aguero Pelle Sakho
Cheers 🙂
Thinking Chester--->Chambers/Cresswell?chester to tripper
actually you have duff. not sure cresswell is worth it or chambers in our leaky def
Not your way of playing, but save imo. 😉
yeah this
Chadders on your bench...
😯
Just proof that balance is vital. No use having big hitters in every position in front 8.😕 feckin annoying.
agree. it was useful though having this cover when costa was out and if(when) he gets that fifth yellow
Taylor is your man. Wish I could get him in
Unless Southampton are some sort of miracle team, they'll have 8 more clean sheets at most in the next 27 weeks. Odds of them having clean sheets is going down... move on people...
That's awful logic. They'll get less CSs as their opponents are about to get much more difficult.
^
One of the things I hate most is people using previous good results as an indicator of future failings!
Exactly
I m keeping saints defence
May sell pelle and mmget costaBut as billy says, the future fixtures are indeed a concern. Just the logic that
hmm didn't even finish my sentence but I think you know what I'm saying!
Fair enough.
I went and submitted an article on it.
Already made 2 transfers yesterday, just in case 😮
before Trigger wretes an article about next GW or something LOL
*writes
This is when we finally realise Triggerlips has been copying you!
Lads thoughts on this team please? Dont mind the choices, will be benching one of austin, chadli,
siggy according to their fixtures
4,5, 4.0
Baines, Chambers, NTaylor, Duff, Yun
Fabregas, Sanchez, Siggy, Chadli, Sterling
Aguero, Costa, Austin
any thoughts please?Teams good but with falcao coming back..
Adm could turn it around
Not having him is my concern
Rest is setwell i could get adm instead of sterling and downgrade austin to zamora! or someone around 4,4 (he will be the bench folder anyway)
awesome side save ft
Heaton
Clyne Bert baines
Fab ADM Sanchez downing
Sakho aguero (c) pelle
Elliot Boyd s Taylor chambers
1ft 3 mil itb
What's the best movie ?costa + chadli in
pelle + adm outI van do a direct pelle to Costa swap
I will still have .1 leftwhy wait then ? 🙂
get on it then. Not ideal to lose pelle now but for free to costa, do it.
Ty both of u 🙂
raging bull. Scorcese. De niro. Epic
🙂
😉
Epic. Still get shivers down my back thinking about that movie.
same. Ridiculous he didn't get an oscar for that but gets one for departed 😕
The problem with selling clyne for me is that i do not see any gd replacement that even warrant a transfer.
Spurs utd pool arsenal and even chelsea are not reliable at all..even cheaper option like stoke westham villa are not doing that well defensively
Guess i might be keeping clyneM keeping both him and Bertrand ..
Have baines s Taylor and chambers
Will get Naylor instead of chambersGood move!
Swansea?
Sorry. Already has n.taylor wisdom baines clyne and getting yun too
Then get dummett for wisdom asap
Don't take a hit ...just do it when u have nothing to do with a transferThanks! Newcastlw on the up
Yes Swansea have great fixtures
I'm getting Azpilcueta for Clyne
Could be a gd move if chelsea finally keep it tight
Wanted to give myself break for fpl and did Welbeck => Austin yesterday.
Was willing to take 0.1 rise to my chin, 'cos couldn't see quick double rise for him.
But oh they said he'll get another rise sooner than friday before deadline - just do it.
Now I can spend next two weeks waiting for injuries & frustrating about low amount of Austin transfers.
If I see that guy who feckd this thing I'll just punch him in the face!
I wonder where's that mirror...fantastic post
although, if you are going to employ multiple personalities in your posts, you should consider becoming a Newcastle fan 😉
By the way where is Paulinho?? 😆
I'm really surprised he hasn't been given a chance this season. Surely he's worth a try.
Me too. There was a little bit of wagon last year i guess.
Is there a transfer here to make that I'm not seeing? 1FT 0.0 bank.
Begovic
Clyne - Jagielka - Rose
ADM - Sanchez - Tadic - Siggy
Costa - Aguero - Sakho
Gilks -- Dummett - Marney - Kelly
Begovic has one more week in my team, wouldn't mind ditching kelly but don't see any good replacements at that price.Begovic to krul
Kelly to yun
And use of the money to upgrade jag to baines ..chadli in, tadic out
I am planning (and have cash) to do Tadic-ADM
But should I do it this week or wait a week?
Basically
ADM v ars
vs
Tadic v VILLA(oops, Tadic is away from home too)
Keep tadic this week. I think adm is bein sold anyway
Wait
Wait
Yeah that was my undoubted plan, until I saw the arsenal game last night!
Wait, you may even change your mind after another week of information
How many hits have people taken so far? up to 3 atm
Same. We have the same points too 😉
nice 😀
You're ahead of me in rank as you WC'd so have one less transfer made. Grrr
😎
1
conservative TFF
Never a fan of them to be honest. Like to play it safe 😉
Same here, though I'm becoming far more open to the idea of taking multiple hits to get the team in line with where you want to be, instead of constantly straggling along 2-3 FT's behind the team you want.
I agree, but I haven't felt the urge ever since game week 2 🙂
Yeah the need for hits is definitely dependant on the state of your team. Thats the thing with a strong start and a good WC.
Just 1 here too.
5
with 668 total pts
impressive.
thanks , lucky i guess. can u help me with my post above
5
2, thinking of taking another next week
a heap 11 or something 🙁
6 atm and planning to do another next week.
Help me i can't play safe. 🙁2
4
Is it time to bring Sterling back in the team?
I'm considering it but can afford hazard so think I'll go that way instead
Just 1 hopefully gonna save this week and take a hit the following to sort out Southampton overload
@TFF, can I get your opinion on my team please? You're always pretty well-informed and insightful!
I'm not a fan of the moves you posted above. Check my reply 🙂
But I can see you have made a transfer this week. Welbeck to Austin, I presume?And thank you for your kind words 😀
Yeah, I did Welbeck>Austin, made sense.
Though now when I'm going through my options I keep thinking that I should have gone Welbeck>Zamora and gone for the ADM-Sanchez-Costa-Aguero-Baines-Siggy combo instead in a 352.
I'm contemplating Fabregas>Sanchez now before his rise. Though I think ADM might outscore him and his lower cost leaves more doors open in my team.Zamora isn't nailed. Harry will play 4-5-1 away from home more often than not, like he did against Chelsea with Austin as lone striker.
I think Sanchez will score more than ADM. Form over fixtures,imo. I really like that move. But I'd be a bit hesitant to pull the trigger before the internationals are over.
And by the way, what do you reckon here?
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/11/09/the-big-numbers-gameweek-11-3/?hc_page=19#hc_comment_8807077
It really does seem to me this season that anyone can score against anyone (Except southampton!)... Following the fixtures with attackers has been somewhat fruitless.
Mate
I presume u r on double saints defence and holding
What's ur take on pelle ?
Would u do straight swap pelle to Costa ?Nah I've just had Clyne all season.
Re Pelle, keeping him for the villa game.
If he does especially well vs Villa, I may keep because he is a confidence player.
Pelle seems to have been a little found out recently. I'm looking at alternatives at present.
I too am doubled up (Bertie & Forster) on Southampton Defence and considering who to go.
😯
I think the opposite. Sanchez, pelle, di maria siggy. Played the fixtures with all these and it's worked a treatMaybe it applies more to smaller teams. They are scoring more than usual against big teams.
Look at Leicester and QPR for example. Looked great against the bigger teams, poor vs lower teams.
Is wellbeck and clyne > bojan and baines worth -4? Basically the only way to get baines in without dismantling my team totally.
Bojan I wouldn't take based on 1 game
Could go for ayoze Perez over him
Austin if he's in budgetGet Zamora/Perez instead. Even Flecther will do
Not quite sure about bojan. How about ayoze?
So I gave up on my second team minileague idea after being advised that FPLtowers don't like this kind of thing.
I wish there was a legal way to have a second team. Maybe it could be ineligible for prizes or something / not included in the main league table.Is this saylor nailed on?
Well he seemed to have cemented a place before injury. However, if newcastle do well without him (as they did last night) who knows?
Out of the three Chelsea good point scorers, what two would you have if money wasn't an issue?
A) Fabregas
B) Costa
C) Hazard
The Chelsea fixture list to Boxing Day is pretty impressive. I currently only have Fab, but thinking I need more.Costa
Costa and Fab (especially given you have him already)
Not worth being disappointed every week with hazad
