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.

        • 13 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers.
        Don't know if i should get rid of Kane after todays score tho.

        I could do Chambers to Bartley but is he nailed? and Kane to Austin

    Here's a small number.

    12.

    The number of touches (not pen box touches, touches) that RVP had against Arsenal. Three of those were taking corners and one was the kick off!

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Doesn't sound small, though I have no context. I imagine many strikers have low touches in some games every so often?

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Did seem quite clear he was still off the pace during the game though

      2. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        8 touches in open play? It's small.

        For context James Wilson came on and made 19 touches in 24 minutes.

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Falcao back in training and should be fit for the weekend, hopefully in place of RvP

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Even then, i'd give Wilson a start over him.

    3. Rafa is a Geordie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I saw that stat on MOTD. Terrible how far he's fallen

  5. Jay_
    11 years, 8 months ago

    I want YaYa but just cant afford him

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Steer clear

  6. cravencottage

    Why didnt Kaboul play today?

  7. Jubilanus / BSC Small Boys …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Is sterling going down 0.1 tonight.

    1. Declan
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Yup

  8. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez played down the middle for a lot of the game though with Welbz on the left (with regards to the article)

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez looked menacing without having many clear-cut chances

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I saw Sanchez always cutting in from the left. Welbz was everywhere (but poor as usual)

    3. Vardy Gras PBFC
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Wilshere should have squared to Sanchez for a tap in too.

  9. Fantasy Gold
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    I'm fuming that nobody asked Poch about the Chadli injury post-match today.

    Don't these interviewers know how important this info is?!

    🙁

    1. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Was about to ask this! Is there any kind of info on the injury? I assume not because nobody even knew he was injured until the lineups came out 🙁

      1. WoodsyOwl
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Goal.com knew about his injury yesterday, said he's having a scan. Didn't suggest how serious it is.

        1. Tiki-Taka
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Cheers, guess we will know more in the next few days hopefully

          1. WoodsyOwl
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah, you'd like to think the issue will be addressed ahead of their Europa League match on Thursday.

  10. Kevtheotter

    Re

    Baines and Chadli... Back next week or miss another one? Cheers

    1. WoodsyOwl
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Baines should be back next week. Martinez said if he didn't make the West Ham game yesterday that he'd almost certainly be back for their Europa League match on Thursday. Just got to hope he comes through that unscathed!

  11. cravencottage

    Which do you prefer?
    Kane and Hazard
    or

    I'm currently starting Bertrand over Chambers this GW...madness?

    1. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years

      not madness, i wouldn't though

      1. Chris_White
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Hmm I guess WBA are looking pretty poor atm, probably a better chance of a CS for Arsenal..

        1. Sponge-worthy
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          yes..i'm gonna sell bertrand soon..pelle's gotta go first..

  13. Timtastic03
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone watched any of Everton's games recently? How've Barkley and Mirallas (just this gw) looked?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Mirallas was very poor, but hard to read to much into that with it being his first game back after a long lay-off.

      Barkley bright in spells but not an option imo.

  14. AH 🙂
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Cant understand why people would bring HARRY KANE into the equation . so many negatives when buying him

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      He's great value IMO.

      1. Timtastic03
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Only worth considering if you have 8 players up front imo - no 4.4 benchwarmer

  15. Fantasy Gold
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    It makes me laugh how Wenger said after the United game that he was 'speechless' and that it was 'one-way traffic'.

    LvG's gameplan was clearly to let you have the ball and to counter-punch. It's called tactics Arsene, maybe you should stop being so naive

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      How many times has Park Ji Sung tore the shit out of Arsene's defence on the counter? Will he never learn?

    2. Timtastic03
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      They did create loads of chances though, just didn't finish any

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Most of the chances came about by mistakes from our inexperienced backline.

        The 1st half was their opportunity. They blew it and from the moment we scored the 1st it was game over

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      To be fair, we also had all the chances. Man U went 1-0 up without a shot on goal...

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah geat, if that helps you sleep at night....

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          *great

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 8 months ago

            What's the problem? We obviously had most if the game, and we list because of stupid defending. But to say LvG was brilluant with tactics is crazy consudering the chances we had, and the way in which Man U scored.

            1. Fantasy Gold
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 8 months ago

              I'm not saying LvG was brilliant, I'm saying that was an intentional game-plan.

              Wenger seemed to think you just steamrollered us and deserved the 3 points.

              Yes, we were lucky a few times. But Wenger's naïvety played right into our hands

              1. Wilshere Knowledge
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 8 months ago

                Wenger doesnt understand that possession and territory doesnt equate to dominance, and he obviously has no defensive understanding at all. I really think his mental faculties are failing him in old age.

                Counter attacking is always the way against us, but you guys didnt do it very well. Once we failed to score, you defended well, albeit it is fairly easy when we are so predictable.

            2. Willis.
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 8 months ago

              Tactically, Van Gaal was spot on. Only reason why Arsenal had a shiteload of chances was because of Utd's injury-ravaged back line.

        2. Timtastic03
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Yes, the result worked out for United but Arsenal clearly deserved more. That first lucky goal played it into their hands

  16. Lazarus Star
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Found away to get Di Maria, but means losing Tadic, Berahino and Jedinak for ADM, Zamora and Boyd plus -4.

    Yay or No Way?

    1. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      NW

    2. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I'd say so. On balance that makes sense.

    3. WoodsyOwl
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I'd look for another way if possible. I wouldn't be at all comfortable with one of Boyd and Zamora playing every week.

    4. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      team would be;

      Forster (Heaton)
      Clyde, Baines, Chambers (Dummett, Hutton)
      Fab, Sanchez, ADM, Downing (BOYD)
      Costa, Aguero, ZAMORA

      On paper not liking that 5th Mid & 3 Fwd rotation.

      Will def wait until after Mon night's game. (Can just see ADM being my thorn if I dont have)

  17. Plury111

    Hello guys! Please give me advice... I am really strugling

    My team-
    Heaton (Gilks) - Baines, Taylor, Chambers,Clyne (Duff) - Alexis, SDM, Hazard, Siggy (Cork), Aguero, Pelle (Ayoze)

    When does Costa go up?
    Thinking about Clyne and Pelle to Yun and Costa

    Answer me please, thanks

  18. Tinmen

    Is Bartley any use guys?

    Is he nailed on to start for long?

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      • 12 Years

      i'd like to know this too

    2. Chris_White
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Probably for a couple of weeks. I'm thinking of buying him to fund Pelle > Bony. Just gotta pray that he continues to start ahead of Amat until Fernandez is back.

  19. flippetyflop
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Best downing replacement? Don't really want to get Montero as I already have siggy

    1. WoodsyOwl
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I've got exactly the same issue. Downing's my 4th midfielder and I can't stretch beyond 5.8 for a replacement. Absolutely no one stands out. Got to hope he's back in the next couple of weeks.

  20. Federico
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Forster up to 5.4 was a nice surprise, handing me an extra 0.1 before i sell him 😀

  21. Wirtzle Gummidge

    Seeing Rodgers not looking smug and rather down is one of my favourite past times.

    Forster (McCarthy)
    Dummet Clyne Wisdom (Hutton, Moore)
    Siggy ADM Fab Sanchez (Boyd)
    Aguero Sakho Costa

    1.3m. 2 free transfers.

    Ideally want to sort out the defence and bring Terry in.

    Could do Hutton + Cesc to Terry + Oscar but meh.

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years

      That is a big meh. Can you do Forster to a 4.5 and Clyne to Terry?

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Forster to Krul. Does that help getting Azpi/Terry in?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Pricetag will get Andy his fair share of games. Valencia too. Sakho will only stay in the team if he scores. Zarate making noises as well
