KPI Analysis – Forwards, Last Four Gameweeks

What a terrible top of the page. Sorry folks!

who are your mids?

Shouldn't have sold him. When do you plant bring in Costa?

I think Siggy over Chadli next week. Don't fancy spurs vs. everton or chelsea.

It's crazy. I was having a conversation with someone about arsenal's defence too. How Wenger and Van Gaal can go into a season with hardly any defence is beyond me.

Injuries..

with all due respect not sure why there’s so much talk about United, imo every nailed on player they have is overpriced

They should be challenging for the title with the squad they have, injuries or no injuries.

Yeah, spent £150m and still have half a team of youngsters, whilst the other half is full of highly over-paid players past their primes (rooney, rvp, carrick, valencia, etc).

Its funny how much every lambasts Liverpool for spending £16m on Balotelli - who could yet come good when paired with Sturridge - when United have spent nearly double that amount to have Falcao play 250 minutes for them, on loan.

Thanks!!

Agree 100% with this post I'm thinking about sterking good fixures and sturridge back.

agree. until wally starts and plays 75mins+ consistently I wouldn't pick him. It'll only end in tears when he is rested or subbed early

i’m looking at Naylor if he gets away without a YC from the City game

I'm thinking of getting caulker, he still has goals in him

Yes Trippier does sound good. What about Chambers?

naylor, caulker has some good home fixtures

Thanks

makes sense to me.

looks good, but why are you playing Wisdom over Wilson/Dummet?

Too little Chelsea.

Keep for this week at least

Chadlee. Sterling if you have the money with Sturridge coming back.

Why when there are some nice cheap options. can't help but think Austin is special considering where he has come from!

I think most people already own Siggy and are reluctant to double up on the Swansea attack.

im considering him but i think siggy will be enough. if pelle blanks against villa AND city then i might be more tempted by bony

I am an Everton supporter and I can't help but think he is overrated and injury prone. Like to see us get 45mil for him in January.

Barkley is a rotation risk with EL being so important for Everton

Osman, Pienaar, McGeady, Naismith, Eto'o, Mirallas, Besic, Atsu, etc, are all competition for one of those 3 spots behind Lukaku.

Florence?

I'm also an Everton fan and we'd be absolutely mad to sell Berkley in January.

He's such a dynamic player, one of the few genuine playmakers in the league, the sort of player who can make things happen out of nothing. And, if you think he's not doing well enough I don't think you appreciate how hard it is to do what he does.

I dread to think how slow these pages are going to be next week!

What'd the rest of your team look like?

Austin might be the exception (only watched him vs City) he looked great but i’m not sure they can create enough chances for him. Most of the chances he got was defensive mistakes from City.

Naismith has competition. Austin has been such a breath of fresh air considering where he came from. I must say a learnt a lesson with Ulloa.

Eventually another cheap striker must become a Tevez, or a Rooney rather than an Ulloa etc. Austin has been steadily improving over this time in the PL, so maybe it's him . . . you can't keep ignoring form, and most of us need the 3rd striker to be cheaper than the three you have chosen. Personally, I think Pelle is just a more expensive Ulloa by the way - already fading

imo Austin is better than those two. The fact that he has PKs i him, no serious competition up top, and looks very lively recently definitely edge it for him.

Thing is, now we've had 11 GW's to look at Austin, an we know a lot more than we did about Ulla and Naismith at the time. For instance:

- qpr are only bad away from home
- Austin has the 5th highest shots per game in the league (!)
- qpr can compete with anyone on their day - see Liv, che, mci games
- Austin has good underlying numbers over 11 gws, not just 3-4 like Ulloa and Naismith
- Austin is on pens
- he is 100% nailed on and most attacks are aimed at him
- his next two home games are against poor away defences - lei and burnley

My decision to bring him in was based on many factors, not just current form or the fact that he had 1 good game. Check whoscored and all the member tables over 11 games as well as over 4 gws. They all tell the same story: tht Austin is a good choice

Ah nice, just came on here again 5 mins ago, let's see what you came up with to counter 😉

Or Ben Yedder for that matter

Yeah fine - don't know about Duff personally.

Can't see it. Also, hasn't he said he intends to sign a new contract imminently? Think after this Int break

just save FT this week and do it for free the week next?

save it. If Fab gets the dreaded yellow, you'll have the answer gift-wrapped.

do it now..

Heading to the game mate?

Can't believe people don't have Kun already. Take whatever hit you have to and get him now.

Now for a hit. And captain Aguero

Do it and go enjoy

Thanks all. Pretty happy now with Baines, hazard, adm,aguero and costa. Just worried about sanchez but you can't have them all!

Ha I like it! It's a nice change 😀

A rm what?

well if you want you can Rate My Talk? 😉

Please RMT, it is linked 😉 :p

how about the International Matches?

Bristol Ladies have beaten Barcelona Ladies ... that Ramblas has a lot to answer for ... 😉

Well since I have had the most Captain Fails..I wouldn't suggest you to follow my advice...I would say Costa..he's like a ball magnet inside the D..

I'll be captaining aguero most weeks from now on unless he gets injured or form drops off. Class above at the moment

Agreed.

Although Costa has had a break during this international week, Kun is more match-fit, is in better form, on pens and hasn't travelled far at all this international break with games at Upton Park and OT.

Aguero as default captain.

Aguero. What you and and they said.

Hazard for me

Fader your team is great you know this. Well played very balanced squad.

yay

Yun should be next.

He's a differential for a reason. He's crap

I'm probably starting him in both of his coming home games 😀

Surely he is surplus to their needs at the moment

Not going to happen. But I can see Reus joining them in the Summer

Heard a lot of Bale to United as well, mostly made up stuff both of 'em on the back of his injury and Isco deputizing nicely.

There's always another flavour of the month cheap striker available - Berahino, Sakho, Perez, Kane, Ulloa, Naismith, Bojan, Cisse...

Or alternatively a hit sorts it all out.

Probably another cheap striker. I'm thinking maybe one of the ones that is scoring a lot of goals whilst most of the premium picks spend their time limping around injured.

😆 Good morning!!! 😉

I've no idea what context you're posting that in but I always enjoy clicking a link and being greeted by Peep Show 🙂

Yes, he's very tempting and if he does anything against City people will be going Pelle > Bony in droves.

Only worry is he's been dropped before and Gomis just scored.

Better options available.

Cresswell is a poor man's Baines

What can you possibly mean? 😛
