KPI Analysis – Defenders, Last Four Gameweeks

Wow. Top of the page. Wish I held that for my long ass COsta post 😆

He's gotta show some form first. But if he does, he could be a nice little differential similar to how he turned up towards the very end of last season.

Hmm, have you found out if Nasri is more effective against teams with tall or short fullbacks? Because Southampton's fullbacks are short but Sunderland might play Vergini who is a lot taller and heavier than the average fullback.

That price range for mids is definitely interesting, w/ Wally, Sterling,Oscar & co all could show some signs of life by then.

That said, Sterling could yet be of use on our teams if BR opts for a partnership up top (i.e Borini/Lambert + Balo) & it could very well open up pockets for Sterling later on.
I think Nasri is just too risky for the time being & his competitive price tag just sways me away for an odd goal from him.

Even if he's glued-on the team, is there much FPL potential in him. He would have some tough competition & I'd say it'd be a bold move in any case to opt for him. Would rather Wally at that bracket for an Asrenal double up, at least Wally will likely be nailed & hold more attacking weight than Nasri.

Just my 2 cents 😉

nah never liked him. what about jesus navas?

That would be glorious. Probably pretty spot on for a WC team. Siggy in for Chadli would maybe be my only change.

Jeez. Looks mighty tempting for a -16 there 😆

Guzan
Baines *Chambers Azpi
ADM *Hazard Downing Siggy
Aguero Costa Austin

Just 1 week and 0 points away 😛
Can actually afford Chambers to Terry but would be 4 from Chelsea

Pretty much where im at right now Innsie..

Fab
Baines Clyne Chambers
Hazard Sanchez Downing Siggy
Aguero Costa Pelle

cash in the bank for Azpi in for Clyne next GW

Oof, I can see your thinking on the Chelsea double up back. I'd also feel safe at the end of the day having secured cleanies in the back, (devils advocate) but would you really throw in the 12.3m for that? When with more attacking fullbacks providing plenty of attacking threat & could argue more value (i.e Cresswell, maybe Debuchy fit, Reid) as well as the fixtures + CS potential.

Investing a JT, could make the difference between your Chadli & a fit & firing Giroud
or a Chadli vs an in-form Sterling w/ Pool showing signs of life

(this is the devil speaking of course, not me)

Just one transfer away from a team that I have been working to get for the last 4/5gw.

Krul
Clyne, Baines, Chambers
Sanchez, ADM, Fab, Downing
Sahko, Augero, Pelle.

Just need to do Pelle to Costa and I'm done. 2.9 itb. Could also do Downing, Baines, Pelle to Sterling, Costa, Yun. Don't know if it's worth it though.

I say take the hits. Totes worth it m8

Looks like you'rein the same boat as a lot of us due to the international break. Wait for news in the pressers but yeah it might be best to just ride it out this week

After this week, Pelle -> Austin and Forster -> Guzan will help me gain money to upgrade Chambers -> Baines.

Quite like this plan .... for now. All might change with the Friday press.

Don't like it. Wouldn't want to sell Baines. Fab looks pretty certain to play and Boyd can cover for AdM if he's out. Would rather save and go into next week with two frees and reassess.

Defence a bt rickety for this week if Baines is out but not much you can do on most of these injury fronts but pray and hope

Moore out for Dummett as dull as it sounds unless Hutton is declared fit by Lambert.

Definitely wait for press on Fri.

If lucky, that 1FT could be save as the team look good enough for this Gw.

Berahino -> Austin is tempted, but not sure if it should be done this week.

strongest midfield ive seen with Aguero and Costa up top..good work

If I was in your position, I'd obviously be concerned about my defense as others have pointed out, but in tandem I'd be worried about the value Berahinho would add to my GW score.

I could live w/ one unlikely cleanie in the back, two is pushing it, but w/ a striker showing no signs of promise & facing very difficult teams in the coming GW's. He would be a transfer waiting to happen & I'd rather get rid sooner than later, especially if Austin is knocking on my door offering Belgium Waffles & Bera is lying on the floor moping teaching his dog tricks (nothing bad about that)

Austin or a declared fit Sakho would make way in no time, that's another chance at a goal & that outweighs the chances of a cleanie if i was to make a defensive transfer this week

Reading this back, not sure if I stumbled upon myself, or if I even made sense. We'll see

On a wing and a prayer. I have 3 of them myself. Hoping Hutton can stay on the bench though if Baines plays lol

I find this worthy

Same Sakho problem here

Do it, I dare you Muppet

Yeah it's a nasty one. I was rumbling along just fine even iwth all the flags til now.

I have no idea.

I think it's kinda tough to find clean sheets so far. I would always feel comfortable that Chelsea have a chance to keep a clean sheet regardless of opposition. Can't say the same thing about any other team in the Prem.

Great fixtures and an easy swap from ditching SoUthampton defenders. Starting to tighten the noose too.

I did Pelle & Fab for Costa & Chadli and -4 a week ago b/c had to beat the last Chadli price rise with 0ITB. No regrets

I'd make the move now. No Sturridge = No big hauls for Sterling

Would hold fire with all the injury doubts this week.

i have a bad feeling Sterling will drop again tomorrow. From what i have read, Fab will play and ADM is a good chance also...

Sorry but missed the 'fun' part. Is it something to do with those numbers & the kid?

CD

Or just one in fact

Ballon d'Or starts with B and ends with r. So does Bendtner.

Goals for Denmark:

Bendner: 26
Ronaldo: 0
Messi: 0

Haters will say Bendner is Danish.

Caulker

Rickardinho?

I like all the slight misspelling of names 😆

I think Wanyama isn't a dcent option for a 4th mid. Would look to upgrade him.

No

Nope, nadda.

Wait for the pressers soon

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Aguero ->Bendtner

A

A

B

I've got Chadli. Then again, I have Sakho so didn't want to double up.

I'd lean Downing, but just, due to fixtures and price. Also count me in the group that thinks this Chadli run of goals can't continue. Either way I would rather see you spread those transfers out over two weeks and do them for free rather than take a hit.

Downing

I think you could be in trouble with Baines.

definitely save excellent side.

play sakho though incase he makes it. no harm if he doesn't

Panic when all of them are confirmed at the pressers, & you can't field an XI
Don't kneejerk a panic attack

😀

Nah, I'll buy McNair if anyone. Good luck with Azpi.

No

Im no sure of the logistics of draft games but I fancy Eto'o now and Hernandez in the long run

There's alot MMM, do you have any Chelsea, Hammers, or Swans defense right now?

Naylor?

Caulker/Yun
Creswell/Reid
Rangel/Williams

Yep. I think ADM and Fab will play. Baines may be okay but I dont think he will be risked

Not sure about Baines. The other 2 should be.

The consensus seems to be that Baines has the lowest chance of starting out of them.

According to the physioroom, Fab's injury is a 'slight' doubt, AdM's as well
Though Baines is the anomaly & has written "hamstring injury", this would indicate that's it the more serious of the three, nothing certain.

Either way, presser will clear all our minds soon enough

Will be a bloodbath.

🙂

Least damaging type of hamstriing injury. Usually given 2/3 weeks to recover I think

Not as bad as Grade 2 injury.
