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.
Is there any way to find out the ownership of players in certain ranking bands? i.e ownership of hazard in top 10K.
Cheers
FPL discovery has some charts which show it but it's only for a few players I believe.
Cheers. That Smarty Pants sure is a clever dog. 😆
FPL discovery I think.
Cheers Mr Smith.
Cheers guys. All the info is available in the Google spreadsheet which is attached to the Transfers and Team selection post.
Would be great if those stats were widely available on the site
Am I mad to end up in a position where I need to play one of Wanyama/Zamora/Wisdom/Hutton each week?
Krul-Elliot
Baines-Terry-Chambers-Hutton-Wisdom
ADM-Hazard-Sanchez-Siggy-Wanyama
Kun-Pelle-Zamora
The way I see it is that u have to play either Zamora or wanyama. That need addressing
Evening all. I had another decent week, but am still struggling to make up any ground as all my rivals have Sanchez. I’d like to wait out the international break and see how Theo etc are looking at the end, but having watched my planned changes fall part already due to price changes I'm worried if I leave it any longer I am going to struggle to get him in without losing another big hitter.
Current team is:
Krul
Baines, Chambers, NTaylor, Wisdom, Hutton
Di Maria, Fabregas, Sterling, Downing, Boyd
Welbeck, Aguero, Costa
I still think Sterling could prove good value when Sturridge gets back, but his price falling means its getting harder and harder to replace him. So at the moment I’m thinking:
Sterling, Welbeck, Chambers - Sanchez, Sakho, >4.2m defender. (4 point hit)
Good/bad move? I’d welcome any thoughts...
Cheers!
Have you considered those moves but dropping Fab instead of Sterling?
Interesting. I have, as Fab has done nothing for a while. But Liverpool just look so bad at the moment. I also can afford to get Sterling back in (his price will prob drop further) whereas couldn't do the same with Fab...
Would either do just the first two, or swap the last one to Naylor --> Saylor / cheapie
Would rather not have to mess with the defenders but need to now to pay for Sanchez - problem with trying not to knee jerk is that you end up missing the wagon completely! Will Chambers start when Koscielny is back?
So Tadic owners, great stats once again but no returns...are you going to continue to fool yourselves into thinking holding is a good idea?
Don't see many 8-0 results on the horizon!
Nope, time to bank.
Hes got one more week for me, then he's out for siggy or chadli.
I think Villa away will be a tough one for them.
Might ship for Chadli in all honesty, whilst I'm grateful for that 23 point haul he's done nothing since.
This - if my defence wasn't a disaster
1 more week for me. Then I'll get Downing or bring Siggy back.
Mertesacker talking a lot of sense in that interview.
Oh god, here comes monkey man Keown.
Absolute jerk that man.The Missing Link
Read an interview with Wenger where the journalist was happy to put that down as Ruud's fault
Is Yun a safe pick?
I hope so.
Key word there
What do you prefer next gw?
A. Austin + Baines (-4)
B. Pelle + ClyneNext GW alone, it's tight.
Close one, so I vote B for the lack of hit.
A
Fab & Welbz to:
A) Sanchez & Ayoze (3 goals in last 3) 2.1 itb
B) Sanchez & Austin 1.0 ITB
C) Chadli & Costa (.2) ITB
CURRENT FRONT 7:
ADM, Hazard, Downing, Fab
Welbz, Kun, Pelle
C.
Although I don't really know enough about Ayoze Perez to comment on A.
Pelle to Austin?
Done
Bosh!
Do it, I know you want to 😀
Going to.
Good, I don't want to be the only one here with a QPR forward 😀
I'm considering the same move before the rises/drops
Tick tock
He looked very good against City. It's just there may be other issues that need addressing over the break...
Then you take a hit 😀
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, tempting to beat price drops/rises....
who's keeping di maria despite the price drop?
I might. See my post below.
Yep...
I'll keep any mid with his stats and avg position...http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/matches/755405/
Yup. Waiting for Walcott, so can live with a few drops
I might buy him.
thanks for replies. is he better option than cesc do you all think?
I'm holding on.
Re-post:
How much money are we talking about missing out on by not doing a ADM/Sanchez switch?
A swing of 0.2-0.3?0.3m most likely.
Thanks!
Is it time to unload Welbeck? If so, for who?
A) Austin
B) Breathing
C) SakhoA, certainly not B
Breathing
Ooops, I meant:
B) Berahino
You're happy to replace Welbeck for any forward that's breathing 😯
Bojan > Aguero (-4)??
🙄
Don't you roll your eyes at me, Mr Peas!
😀
Yes!
The only way that wouldn't be a good move is if Kun picks up an injury for Arg. Wait til after internationals if you can afford to
Or if Kun blanks and Bojan scores a brace.
Atleast Aguero can't be rested next GW because of jet lag. Argentina have both their friendlies in the UK 😀
It's about time that they put our fantasy interests above monetary gain and playing in front of actual argentines
He was in Hong Kong last time. Many Argentines there?
Haha! Though they'll get more moolah playing here compared to Argentina 😉
Lad in my mini league: "can't believe you haven't got onto Wanyama yet, thought you were supposed to be good at this game?"
Does he have a point?Easy money
No
He is a great budget option. But no, not really, when would u play him!
2 goals, an assist and 5 BPs in the last 4 weeks!
Combative CDM card-magnet.
All he's done is:
1) Noticed he's in form
2) Noticed he's cheaply PRICED for a midfielder
And so put 1 and 2 together and got 4.That's what I figured.
There will always be that one champion of the casuals.
He's in form atm but his overall stats are 3 goals & 1 assist in 10 games. Add to that, he's a huge rotation risk. So my answer would be no.
Hi lads who would you have pelle or Austin
Pelle.
If you don't care about price, Pelle.
Cheers people
If I could afford Pelle I would keep him but looks like I need to get rid of him for Costa if I need Sanchez, Hazard, Aguero and Baines in my team.
Does fpl still give a ranking for mini-leagues? If so how do I see it?
I think they ditched that with the overhaul a couple of years ago.
ADM or Cesc
For Downing or Chadli?haha my exact dilemma. I'm about to pull the trigger on cesc for downing I think. (but it was going to be ADM out half an hour ago so not too sure!)
Aaagh. Gun to my head? Still not sure!
Toss a coin maybe. It's that close.I know. Argh!
ADM out of the 2, but it's still a bit trigger happy.
He's a superb player who could quite easily get double figures vs Hull and Stoke.Ok but if I don't, I can't get Costa.
Really quite stuck with what to do with my team:
Courtois
Colo, Clyne, Wisdom
ADM, Sanchez, Fabs, Chadli
Aguero, Pelle, Bony
Hamer, Naylor, Hutton, Cattermole
0 IT, 1FT.
Is it worth planning for Costa or just dump Bony for Austin?
Mini league leader is 16 points ahead of me in second
He has made a transfer already .has 2.4 in the bank now, had
Zero this morning.
Team is
Smeichel
Baines chambers terry clyne
Di maria fab downing siggy
Costa aguero berahino
What did he do?
Any ideas.how many transfers done today?
He has just done the one transfer and now has 2.4 in the bank having had nothing this morning.
Don't think it's di Maria out because he only got him in for this week.ADM or Fab to Chadli would be my guess.
Don't think the sums add up though
I would do Berahino to Ayoze, Terry to Collocini and upgrade downing to Alexis
Terry -> Yun maybe?
Could be.Terry is poor.
That's just the right money to have done Costa to Pelle (if he only very recently got Costa in/back in)
Though that would be an odd move!
But who would drop Costa for Pelle now? Doesn't make sense. Must be big Terry downgrade or Fab to Chadli.
Yep, booting Terry makes more sense and would work out if he's got a 3.9
Don't think so though I have pelle unless he wants to block me.
Thanks guys will be interesting to see what he did.
I do enjoy a good puzzle!
ADM + Pelle + Rafeal out > Ageuro + Chadli +Yun in for - 8
Yay
NayI think -8 seems a bit extreme when getting rid of ADM. Although Aguero could get those points back fairly quickly.
When do we think Walcott will start games again?
next gw. he's with england.
Surely not starting for England though?
Might start if Woy gets another hiding from the missus.
Probably start against Scotland I reckon
anything wrong with having both baines and coleman??
Yes lol
Burnley, QPR, Crystal Palace and Sunderland are the only teams to have conceded more goals than Everton.
you dont buy these 2 for the cleanies. who would you buy instead of baines?
I would buy Baines. I wouldn't buy Coleman atm.
I would rather have Ivan than Coleman, similar attacking threat and better chance of CS.
Yes. Lots of cash on two defenders on a team that hasn't kept many CS. I'd go Baines only.
I have both and it's working very well. 96 points in 7 games together.
Not at the minute it seems. Though they got out of jail with a Coleman Baines penalty combo last night
dat pelle stat 😯
which stat?
Is Fab injured? Surely be back fit in two weeks?
Not clear. Think JM just toying with us, as we no longer believe him about Costa.
think so
Hey guys! Really good week, how about you?
Here´s my team: Heaton, Baines, Chambers, Clyne, Siggy, ADM, Hazard, Alexis, Pelle, Berahino, Aguero - Gilks, Duff, Cork, Taylor
Already made Berahino to Ayoze and it allows me to do Pelle and Hazard to Diego Costa and Sterling after next gameweek
What do you think of this plan?
ThanksMy defence is starting to stagnate a bit and I am not happy with 3 of my mids + forwards. I do not have Baines and all those around me do.
Would you WC if this was your team?
DDG* Hamer*
Clyne Chester* Moore* Wisdom* Chambers
ADM Siggy Tadic* Sanchez Marney*
Aguero Costa Welbeck*
1FT 0.3 banked. Starred players will be lost on the WCYou have a lot of the main men. I wouldn't WC
Take a -4 for Baines or ignore him?
Hold or make a move?
Forster, Guzan
Baines, Clyne, Duff, Hutton, Wisdom
Sanchez, ADM, Fab, Siggy, Downing
Kun, Pelle, Berahino
1FT, 0.1 ITB
Thinking Berahino > Austin to make some cash and good QPR fixtures, but think it might be a waste. Any thoughts would be appreciated.I like your proposed move, though you'll want rid of Pelle soon too
I did that exact move.
With these budget strikers, you have to play the fixtures as well as form. Austin has both.True. Though Newcastle away atm isn't easy. But I'd do that move.
I'm considering doing Pelle to Austin (poor fixtures and average form versus great form and fixtures) tonight so I can afford Siggy/Chadli -> ADM/Hazard.
What do you think?
Fixtures/Form have led me from Austin to Ulloa then Berahino. I've gotten one goal from my third striker because of this. I'm not sure what to think now.
Who would you have in your team
A siggy
B downingI have both, but think Siggy is a little better
I bring him back after he city game
Siggy if you already have them. Downing if buying to save £
