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.

audacious & most definitely bodacious
Austin is owned by 68k managers and he needs 87k new owners before next price rise 😯
Think that might be a mistake.
Cleaning up Last Man Standing.
Safety score likely to be 56 with 54/55 a chance.
Blimey. That will take out a few. 🙂
Under 900 this week.
Good to see average isn't enough this week. 🙂
Survived another week! 🙂
0 is not a big number
No, indeed not. Unless you look at its possibilities ... 😉

Anybody knows what happened to Bardsley?

Not bad scores for my GK and 3 defenders over the last month eh?
wow. Never happened to me. I always have a 50% cs rate.
Yeah doubling up on Clyne and Forster has been gold for me. Baines has been awesome too and Duff and Naylor have both chipped in when they've been needed 🙂
lol at 1
Had to include it so I could get the 27 points from the other 3 in there 😛
haha, wisdom... *facepalm* lol
Wisdom? I have none of that! 😉
lol, thought that 1 was wisdom 🙂
Guys...need advice on the possible improvements for this team ?
Guzan
Baines / Clyne / Rose
Fab / ADM / Sanchez / Downing
Aguero / Pelle / Berahino
(McCarthy / Wisdom / Boyd / Saylor)
1 FT & 1.3m itb
Does Fab ---> Siggy/Chadli to fund Berahino --->Costa make sense and work?
no 0.9m short but how about Fab -> Siggy/Chadli & pelle -> Costa ?
Doosra I am relentlessly narrowing that gap. From 10 points behind to 9 😀
At this rate I'll be level with you by the time the jan wildcard comes.😆 Well, I am taking a hit this week ... 😉
does rank affect ur decision making?
when i was 170k a few weeks earlier i feel more daring to make moves like fab->tadic and then tadic->downing and reap rewards
now that i am in top 1k i felt more cautious to avoid uncessary hits/sideway move..It shouldn't. Definitely not at this stage
I think that's the time to take more risks otherwise you will float around in the same position.
sometimes non action could be as good as making a move. Just need better sense of when to move/not move on to/from certain players
Winston Reid worth getting as regular 4th defender?
Thanks everyone who helped me with the decision to keep Costa! Dream week for me, up to #79 🙂
Wonderful, Tinkerman! 🙂
Our league has six above 700. 🙂
#competitive😎
Quite so! 😀
Indeed!
I am only 16k, and languishing on page 2 ... 😆
Still good for this point in the season, plenty of time to go!
Great work. Keep calm. Get some tissues for that bleeding nose
Tell me about it!
Wow. Well done Tinkerman, keep it up!
Nice! 🙂
Fantastic Tinkerbell 🙂
😎
Well Done!
fantastic. Will be supporting yourself and Innsie to push on!
Well done. Going to be tough to catch you in the mods and contribs league at the moment.
He isn't a stayer, you have him easy.
Who would u lose to get costa
1) adm
2) fab

Arsenal topic...
Do you guys think/hope this is a year when Arsenal is out of top4 finally?
I hope this will happen for the safe of this team and their fans as this could trigger to getting rid of Wenger I believe.
Too many years they have scraped for that 4th spot and CL place which kept him at Arsenal till date.
I know he had some good times and result with them but older he gets more stubborn and selfish he is...
It's difficult to watch their mediocre players because they have one world class player right now only and this has been a case for a very long time now... One/2 max
I don't care about his philosophy and priorities, this team and fans deserve better! I'm not even Arsenal fan..Sake*
The only problem is this season it seems no one wants to finish in the top4 the way they are playing so Arsenal might scrape it again
Anyone kind enough to comment?
Is this worth getting Sanchez in via A or B?
A) Eriksen & Welbeck out for Sanchez & Zamora (would mean I basically have to play Wanyama or Zamora) -4
B) Eriksen & Welbeck & Terry out for Sanchez & Austin & Trippier
C) Forget about Sanchez for now and replace Eriksen with someone else like Chadli or Downing
Krul Elliot
Baines Terry Chambers Wisdom Hutton
Di Maria Hazard Sigurdsson Eriksen Wanyama
Agüero Pelle Welbeck
1 FT, 0.0 ITBLeave it a week. Arsenal will bottle it against a poor utd side
I'd have suggested C, but he's likely to rise 0.3 during the break anyway, and it'll get a lot more difficult for you to bring him in later. So, probably make the move now, so you don't have to worry about Sanchez later.
Not a fan of dumping Terry (now) or playing one of Zamora/Wanyama every week, but of the two prefer the Zamora option.
Tadic and Frazier Campbell out
Chadli and Austin in
For -4
Yes or no?
Good Morning guys , Choose the best plz ?
A- ADM & Pelle > 4.3 M mid player & Aguero for - 4 pts i have Fab, Sanchez Dowing & Siggy
B- Same A + Berahino > Austin for -8 pts
C- Bearhino > Austin keep ADM and not getting Aguero
The only way to get Ageuro Selling Pelle & ADM 🙁
I've taken an 8pt hit. Waiting was not an option due to upcoming price changes. I know most will say they are crazy moves but it's not knee jerk. I think they are good moves, you may not. But I feel happier already. 🙂
ADM, Fabregas, Welbeck to Hazard, Sanchez, Austin.Being decisive is rarely a bad thing.
Always feels good after taking hits, doesn't it? 🙂
Good moves and should pay off long term imoHuge improvement. Top man.
Berahino to Austin
Pellè to Eto'o
Tadic to Hazard
wil be mine.
I've been an Eto'o owner for 2 weeks now and live every day with uncertainty whether he will start. Like the moves tho
He who dares Rodney
Oh thanks a lot. Now I am going to spend the entire international break watching only fools and horses 😀
Decisive moves. Very nice WR.
3 assist threats > 3 goal threats.
All this talk about explosive and consistent players confuse me. Do we really think that it is some kind of inherent property of some players to deliver points in a consistant or explosive way? I think it is more correct to assume that the chance of a player to score or assist is constant through a game. That Fabregas has delivered points steadily though the games this season is more of a coincidence than a property of this player.
Generally if two players are going to get similar points through a season, a goalscorer will be more explosive than an assister.
A goalkeeper is going to be the least explosive of all because save points and clean sheets are often inversely related.That is a good point
its not a coincidence..its the style of playing of a player. Fab's deep position will mean that he seldom go into the box or have alot of shots on target, thus not explosive players. But nevertheless his corners/freekick always return in an assist or 2.
some players are more suited to play in a particular type of games, hazard is a "flat track bully" becos against weaker opponent he finds it easy to dribble past defenders or get penalty. some player also depends on form..rooney is a known streak player for example
When will Walcott start playing 70+ mins? After the break?
Krul, Janopovic, Moore, Duff, Chester, Boyd, Wanyama, Sakho.
Those are the names you need to see on your teamsheet if you want to shoehorn in
Costa Kun DiMaria Fab Sanchez Baines Clyne
0.0
Now I wait...and wait
....
I'll reply in 2 weeks
If people can continue to sell ADM that would be great
Yes agree. Will look to bring him in after Arsenal game.
Think I will 😯
...see you in two weeks
Ditto...
Where did that two weeks go
Brrilliant. Just seen your history Tano. Havent been on for 17 days & you post your team up then say see you in 2 weeks. Was it really worth it?
You said goodbye about 2 hours ago!
My red phone rang. It's the phone marked "FFS hotline".
I had to come and help out here for a while.Haha, mental.
Im trying to sort this dude out downstairs with now interweb while in Africa...
Doing well this year, top 2.5k, and I'm leaving for 3 weeks in December to Africa, no internet 😆 Will be interesting to see my team when I get back
We do have interweb down here....
Xstina. Just let it go. Enjoy your 2 weeks brother & get the f away from your computer. Leave us geeks we'll still be here when you return
🙁
Where in Africa?
wtf
I won't have access
Country?
Tanzania
Ahh, nice. Get a change to slip over to my beloved Zanzibar?
Can you net get a mobile modem for your stay? Might we worth it.*chance
I think Airtel is big in Tanzania, but Vodacom(SA company) is also involved in the country.
Just give us all your password and we will sort it 🙄
Stay clear of Ebola
pwoahh
This is my team. Anything you would look to do for a hit?
Begovic
Baines - Chambers - Duff
Hazard - Sterling - Walcott - Siggy
Aguero - Costa - Austin
£4m - Boyd - Wisdom - Alcaraz
Bank £0.4mSterling out Chadli in
Walcott out after international when he tweeks a hammy
Not with Sterling's fixtures and the emergence of Sturridge potentially after the international break.
Nothing worth a hit. You shouldn't have got Walcott so early
this
Henderson>Barkley???pls help
No. Someone else.
who for under 7mil
Downing
Oh I just read your answer below. What is your team then? Maybe Boyd if you don't have a 4.4
not a good idea. Maybe Chaldi/Downing if you want to sell Henderson.
got Chadli,Downing and Siggy
I might be tempted to keep Henderson one more week and have 2 fts in that case.
Think i'll hold for now thanks mate
good luck!
I gargatroned myself and I found out I bench over 10 points a gameweek 🙂
And I'm extremely bad at choosing captains.
Total captain score 114
Captain score if you had swapped all C / VC 180
Captain score as % of overall score 17.70%
Highest possible captain score 278
Captain score as % of your highest possible captain score 41.01%
Number of different captains 6
Number of different players 28
Three most owned players Clyne (11),
Foster (11),
Coloccini (11)
Most captained player Diego Costa (5)
Total score of autosubs 4
Total score of unused subs 140
Unused sub score as % of of overall score 21.74%
Points spent on transfers 12Seeing you normally have 15 playing players, it isn't a surprise 😛
True I guess 🙂 Also managed to bench 65 points in the last two gameweeks, so I guess that adds a lot.
These things happen. I threw away 5 points this week so no major damage.
yeah, I just need to start making the right decisions 🙂
and yeah 5 points is ok I guess, up to 10 it should be reasonable
that's only 2.5 pts per player, right?
Actually 3 (it seems to be almost 13 points a week, when I have a better look)
IF the only way to get Agüero is Selling ADM & Pelle Would u do it ???
Yaaay
Naay
ADM & Pelle > 4.3 M player & AgüeroHell yes. Aguero has got captain written all over him for the next 10 GW
not for me, I don't think there are any playing 4.3m players, and as good as Aguero is he won't outscore ADM, and Pelle.
In your opinion, what's the better moves;
ADM and Welbz > Chadli and Costa
or
ADM and Welbz > Sanchez and Austin/Sakho
or
ADM and Tadic > Sanchez and Chadli/Downing
Thanks
a adm, pelle => costa, siggy (-4)
B pelle => austin
C other?
Forster (McCarthy)
Chambers Baines Clyne (Moore Naylor)
downing ADM Haz Alexis (Boyd)
Aguero Sakho Pelle
1FT, 0.7.
So I managed to not do a -4 yesterday, or any transfers for that sake.. the first day is the hardest right? Do we have a Anonymous Hit Takers-group here? I want my 1-day coin!
Well, I did one yesterday ... 😉
