We turn our attentions to the weekend’s nine matches now and delve into the data in our first member’s article of the week. Chelsea, Man City and Tottenham’s goalscoring midfielders arrive on our radar, whilst Swansea’s in-form frontman and Andy Carroll’s impact on West Ham’s style of play are also amongst this evening’s topics.
I'm hopeful on 1,3 and 4 cause I have them and I'm not selling.
Anyone know the name of the song that was in motd2 pre game trailors today?
might be in there
Just an early look at next week if you'd be so kind. Assuming everyone is fit...
Forster
Baines, Bertrand, Naylor
Haz, Cesc, ADM, Siggy
Aguero, Pelle, Sakho
Subs: Boyd, Dawson, Moore
2 FTs, 1.3 itb
A: Bertrand + Pelle > up to 6.8 Def + Bony
B: Bertrand + Pelle > Yun + Costa (c) (Chelsea triple up)
C: Bertrand + Pelle > up to 4.7 Def + Rooney (c)
D: Bertrand + Cesc > Yun + Sanchez
Feck me you can make a very strong argument for any of those four choices, Beavis. I like A or C most. A with Terry or C with whoever rotates best with Naylor and Dawson.
Cheers mate, big decisions this week with the 2 frees.
Yep. Put myself out the misery it would have done my head about with mine own as you see below 🙂 Hope yours pay off.
D for me (because Sanchez).
Yeah it's been a pain not owning him recently but Arsenal have some tough fixtures up until Xmas. Think he will continue to score well but seems unjustifiable to remove any of the midfielders?
Was just thinking you could always get Cesc back for ADM/Haz or even Sanchez back out if need be. But whilst you haven't got Sanchez it's harder to twist him in with his higher value.
Yeah Sanchez is constantly going up. Have had Cesc from the start though so would lose 0.4 or so on him. Bit painful!
B.
I think this is best long term tbh but as a United fan with our next 2 and Rooney' history of going on hit streaks I am getting tempted by C.
C is good too.
It looks like an opportunity to gamble especially with Costa on 4 yellows.
How many games does Costa have to get through?
I'm tempted by Fellaini in for Chadli.
Sounds stupid but it'd be for two games, set up well enough on the wildcard to have a punt.Not the worst idea in the world. Now that we have easier fixtures I'd rather see Herrera start but Fellaini probably deserves to so will continue. Could be a decent option for the next few if Chadders is out, otherwise just save. They'll come in handy!
Yeah.
If Chadlis out he's gone from my team.
Lots of good options, but I would say B edges it because Costa scares me.
Is B (chelsea triple up) really that profitable? Seems like an 'all eggs in one basket' type move.
I like C
Has anyone seen a single report that states Downing could be out for 4 to 6 weeks? I've looked and can't find one
Same :/
There's always bs floating around here on Sunday nights
The source that first said that Sakho Downing Song and Valencia didn't travel said that Downing will not play in 2014 anymore.
Besides that no other reports. M still on WH forums. will say if found morebut where is it? what source?
Soooo, 19 points and a 3.2 million gameweek rank! Anyone worse?
close ... i'm sitting at 21 points but have 3 players (Forster, Clyne, Hutton) to go and 3 points coming in off the bench. (and i took a -4 hit to get this wonderful squad)
Oof that's a good one. 2.4m here but like you I have several playing tomorrow (thankfully)!
Any bench points coming?
At 2.8m myself with 4 pts coming on.I have Chambers coming in:cool:
And my 5 players are all against each other so that doesnt helpBetter than just 2 players to go 😉
16 points and a 3,294,136 gameweek rank. 3 Transfers (-8pts).
The best week ever :-)!!!
Ouch!!
Jesus... I though I was bad.. And I am!
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/9131/event-history/12/ is currently in last position in Last Man Standing with 11 points, but he does have 4 points coming off the bench and 4 to play.
A) Pelle, Chadli, Clyne -> Costa, Boyd, Shackell (-4)
B) Pelle, Fabergas -> Costa, 6.3 or less
C) Pelle, Clyne -> Giroud, Trippier.
Stuck on how to get Costa in, even with 2FT. The main issue is the lack of viable budget midfielders.
Goodnight and best of luck tomorrow. But judging by this GW Weiman well score 2 and the Soton full backs and Pelle will get YC. Tadic well be taken off at 58 mins with a knock. Have I missed anyone?
Jack Cork will score a hatty 🙂
Pelle Chadli Moore Forster > Austin Siggy Bartley Fabianski/Guzan
For -12.
So many injuries only 8 players ( hoping that 3 Soton players wil play tmrw) this GW.
I am in very bad situation i have duff moore baines downing sakho and tiote and still have forster and bertand.Any clue on what to do?.1FT And used wildcard
Take hits or Pray they recover.
I would take the first option.
Wait for news
I'd wait a couple days and then only transfer those unlikely to play, at least to field 11 players. That means keeping 2 soton players. Baines should be OK from reports earlier today.
Too early to tell for surethanks guys,i can take -4 but i still dont know who to ship.So waiting till friday to see any new news hopefully they will be good news.
Can anyone advise how was Kane today?
Is it worth doing
pelle - kane
downing - hazard
cheers9 goals in 10 matches for Spurs.
He is their best option at front.Spurs are a mess but he looked a handful today by my eye. They didn't really kick on until after Hull went down to 10 men but the boy just keeps on scoring.
if i get hazard then i wll have sanchez adm hazard siggy
alternatively i can go for oscar + wallcot and get rid of siggy in couple of week
this is my team
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1199809/event-history/12/I like it. I wouldn't bother thinking about Walcott from an FPL perspective yet.
Pro to wildcard this week: It was a terrible week for many many players so therefore it could induce more transfer activity which includes other people wildcarding and taking hits.
Advice appreciated -
Adrian - Gilks
Baines - Clyne - Bertrand - Hutton - Moore
Sanchez - Fab - Siggy - Tadic - Boyd
Aguero - Costa - Sakho
2FT and 0.1 ITB
What would you do with 2FT this week with that squad? Will shift one of the SOU defenders.
Currently thinking -
A) Fab, Tadic & Bert > Hazard, Bolasie & Azpi
B) Fab, Tadic & Bert > Hazard, Oscar & Yun
C) Bert > Naylor
D) Something else...
Thanks in advanceWhy Fab out??
He is the most consistent FPL player this season.I feel like hazard is going to outscore him most weeks going forward
maybe but i think over the entire season Fab will outscore him and he is one mil less.( if you got him at 9)
On the injury situation the manager said: “We hope they are not too long or too serious. It’s the worst international break I’ve had in my time at West Ham United.”
BFS. Only hint that I have found. Sorry.Ah, cheers, G B.
I think that I have found my replacement for Sigurdsson.
Who's that Doos? Getting yourself a shiny new Montero?
Nope. Doubling on Arsenal.
Ah. Oxlade?
In one. Savvy - I'm impressed. 🙂
😎
Who?
Arteta?
Siggy doesn't need replacing imo.
He's been under performing all season on stats yet he's been getting the points. Also he's just played 3 very very tough games on the bounce.
This is completely untrue. 🙂
After GW 3 his ICT has been poor (except 1 gw). I just think with these tough fixtures now gone where he wasn't expected to get anything, Swansea will now score goals and he is almost always involved, at least with assists.
Sorry, but ICT is rubbish. I have been monitoring him all Season.
He has been on a steady downward slide ...I guess we'll see. If he doesn't score well over the next 2 I'll consider removing but for now I still have high expectations!
He is (C) Material at home!
Fine. I had him for that one, too.
Only blanked once at home all season! and that was the game were Bony got sent off, Swansea didn't end up scoring that game
Well, he has two at home now.
I have a priority this week. We will see.
Doosra surely there has to be a forward with a high conversion rate at the end of Chamberlain's crosses ? . Looks like another Tadic to me due to Giroud + Welbz ?
I'm buying him for the first time this GW...
Foster/Gilks
Baines/Clyne/Cameron/Duff/Dummett
Siggy/Downing/ADM/Sanchez/Marney
Aguero/Pelle/Costa
2FT, 0.3 ITB
What to do?
A) Pelle + Clyne ➡ Bony + Chambers/Naylor/Cresswell
B) Pelle + Clyne ➡ Austin + Azpi
C) Pelle ➡ Bony and save FT
D) ADM + Clyne + Pelle ➡ Oscar + Naylor + Rooney (-4)
Cheers, feel free to leave any other suggestions. 😀A
A
So Austin was denied a clear penalty for QPR. Sums up my luck.
Yep. Effing annoying.
Didn't need to hear that. F**k.
Where's that come from?
Don't remember them having any shouts at all, if anything we could have had one!
WC yay or nay?
Regret not pulling the trigger last week 😛
Bego Hamer
Baines Clyne Chambers Duff Moore
Sanchez Haz ADM Downing Marney
Kun Pelle Austin
CheersNay!
Thanks for the enthusiasm!
What do you want to do?
I too regret not pulling the trigger last week. 33 points with only Pelle left! 🙁
With Chadli out I will get Wanyama of the bench to form triple Saints attack alongside Pelle and Tadic. It went well for me against Sunderland.
Hopefully 8-1 this time 🙂Sod it. Transfers done, don't feel like thinking about it all week and can't absorb any price changes. Welbz and Pelle out for Rooney (c) and Kane. As if anyone cares.
I care. Well in. 😀
Hope there is a bit of space for me on your Rooney ship. Though I fear my hairline is receding before my very eyes, I should fit in well and good.
Looks good
Cheers UD. I hope so! Firmly on the Kane-train now. I quite like him versus the other budget striker options and think he has proven himself rather nailed at the moment!
Looks to be the case. Am still considering Austin but am finding it hard to go beyond Kane at his price. A bit fearful of Ade but really there's no good reason for Kane to lose his spot
That's what won out in my mind - couldn't see a good enough reason or scenario to see Kane losing his place over the next handful of gameweeks. And if he does, well that's why we get a new transfer every week 🙂
Nice transfers imo
Thanks mate.
Very good transfers.
😀
I'm keen on pulling the trigger early on Welbeck to Rooney but with the uncertainty with Downing and only 1FT can't quite bring myself to do it yet
In all honesty I wouldn't mind playing Boyd in place of Downing this weekend if need be.
Yeah I was just thinking the same providing Downing is not long term, not sure how long will have to wait for that news but I spose I could rectify it next week if need be
So does everyone think Nasri is a daft choice?
I fancy him. 😆Stinks of coverage...
But he's quite good. I don't see how Oscar is a better pick. Obviously needs must in this case.
I think both are bad picks if that helps.
I don't really like Oscar either. Better to go cheap and use the money elsewhere.
You will get bored with that squeaky little voice at breakfast.
😆
Im waiting a few weeks to see if he does anything
Maybe, but still not yet. Needs to show form first. Could pop up with a good spell once Silva is back. Still just a monitor for me at the moment.
It has finally happened.
Marc Wilson, you perpetual waste of space with your poxy Megamind forehead and beard, get out of my team.Haha
Anyone ever used Chromecast to watch streamed football from laptop on their TV?
Yes. It didn't work at all. Chromecast biggest waste of money I've ever spent. IDK if it was the device, my tv, or my internet connection, but it doesn't stream fluidly and was unwatchable.
I've never tried Chrome cast actually, always plug in an hdmi to my laptop from my TV and stream though, I imagine it's not particularly different.
It is. I have done the hdmi cable too and it works fine but the Chromecast is laggy as hell.
I think I'll stick to this then! 😀
Is this a stupid question but do you have to keep the laptop open? Lol
Might try that with the HDMI. Been reading about the Chromecast thought I'd ask on here to check public opinion.If you go on power options and change the settings for what happens when you close the laptop lid (I've got it on do nothing), then it works with it being closed. Except with sky go, there you have to keep it open.
Yikes what a crap GW. 3 left tomorrow to save it though.
Since everyone's sharing tonight, I did Sterling -> Jedinak. This is obviously a prelude to greater things...hoping to recapture ADM soon.
Said it earlier I'll say it again, Jedi is like a half priced Gerard. If only Warnock would stop being a daft jackass and start Zaha weekly Palace have a lot of pens in them between him, Bolasie, and now Gayle. Lots of pace in the box.
Haha, you didn't get that from Warnock did you? Still remember excitedly rushing Jagielka in when Warnock called him 'the new Gerrard' or something similar.
But I like that assessment. 🙂
😀
In fact I'll do one of these for a -4, to give me a captain for next week. Which should I do first (will do the other a week later)?
1) Pelle -> Bony
2) Mane -> ADMReedy - you're about Bony?
I think so yes, his form is appealing.
Wouldn't mind keeping Pelle either tbh...but I do need a captain for next week.
Hmmm. One more look at this?
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/939/TBH, I haven't found time to get my teeth into the Members' stats yet...still find it all a bit daunting. Are you more for Pelle, then?
Which is better?
A- Begovic > Fabinski
B- Rafeal > Yun
C- Rafeal > Blackett
All for -4pts cuz I did Berahino> Austin last nightWouldn't take a hit for a keeper but I understand the frustration as I too am a Bego owner.
B
Having a pretty poor week. Chadli to save the day and not even being in the squad kinda sums it up 😆 Seems like most did though as not many of the main men delivered. Anyone know the average score for top 10k or higher?
its below the average amazingly
😯 wow that is incredible. Just goes to show it was a bad GW all round. Here's hoping for a saints shut out will help but then again. MOst probably have 2 Southampton defenders too
Decent week for me Currently on 63 with Hutton to play and Oshea 9 point to come off bench
Krul
Hutton
Chambers
Chester
Fabregas
Siggy
Eriksen
Oscar
Aguero
Rooney
Costa (c)
Bench: Oshea, Ameobi, Wisdom, Elliot
Hey ya people.
So Chester didn't play. 🙁 All my 3 outfield subs are coming off now..Chester was on bench Bruce prefers Davies/Dawson as a pair
Screw me. Time to get rid. Thanks ya.
Yeah NABIL im getting rid to
Let's do this!
Clyne to score in the 61st min with a bullet header concussing himself in the process. Taken off as a precaution. Then villa to win 2-1 with forster and tadic getting sent off.
Oh and Pelle blank.
ThanksJust once both teams score I'll be happy, unless defenders score 🙂
As a Clyne, Pelle and Hutton owner, I tend to disagree 😉
Happy days. I can afford the Ox in place of Downing. Sorted. 😀
Enjoy the Siggy points. 😉
not afraid of losing gametime because of walcott ?
Not really.
was kinda waiting to hear an explanation , you don't think that walcott will play enough to make you worry , or you think Ox will play somewhere else or what exactly
asking too many questions because im thinking to make that move too btw
Ox wow very bold Doos. Good luck. Hope he can turn some of his flash and pace into points for ya.
9 years, 7 months ago4 yellow flags, anyone got an idea on their chances?
1- Baines
2 - Duff
3 - Downing
4 - Sakho
