Anyone watching khan fight ?
Yep 🙂
are these OK moves?...
Boyd --> Walters
Dzeko --> Papiss Cisse
also, does anyone know when players leave for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations? thanks
Juz do the dzeko one
so Papiss Cisse a good choice?
I would prefer benteke tbh.
Cisse less expensive tho, considerably--and Benteke hasn't been in good form for a while; Walters a reasonable choice for 5th midfield spot?--wouldn't play him in the tougher fixtures, but probably for the more favorable ones
Haha not v sure about walters but bolasie is a decent option too. The reason i say not doing is becos i will not want to waste a transfer on that.
Yeah cisse on form..but i prefer benteke home games during christmas. Cisse is certainly an option i agree
I remember people said they will leave after Gw20.
I'm hesitate to sell Boyd.why though--on Boyd? schedule getting tough, and it might help to have a 5th midfielder more likely to garner points
Cisse doesn't always start. Avoid
Not great moves tbh imo.
Cisse isn't a regular starter, and Stoke have Che, eve, Man Utd and arsenal in next 5
GW 18 onwards..
a) Nasri Downing Costa
b) Yaya Siggy Jovetic
c) Silva Sterling 8.5m FW
*Benteke/Giroud/JoveticJovetic injuried..silva no1 to pass the ball to..yaya no1 to help him earn penalty..sterling on poor form..
All the above shows that its too hard to predict. Maybe A is the best option but benteke instead of costa
Start with Downing and work from there. I wouldn't want costa for the busiest fixtures either, he'll definitely get rested - I'll probably do Costa>Benteke in gw18 or 19 fwiw
So keep Downing despite the fixtures (che ARS WBA swa)?
just rest him for the che game
Makes sense. I can play Clyne (cpl) that GW
not B cause jovetic isnt fit
Yaya playing up too against palace if you ask me. We'll certainly see him further up the pitch imo.
Big returns on the wayUp top*
Even if he plays in midfield its inevitable that he shoots more, as now he won't have to pass to anyone up front any more 😛
@Think Tank, regarding Kane.
Kane stats:
- Scored in 2 of his last 3 aways (avl & hull... only failed to score at chelsea)
- A goal every 129 mins in aways (only Aguero, Cisse, Drogba, and Sakho/Valencia/Cole better that).
- Goal or assist in every 86mins in the league in aways.
- Goal or assist every 94 minutes in all competitions (in over 1000 minutes)
- Only 4 strikers with 5 or more away appearances have better chances-per-minute
Spurs:
- Spurs have a better away record (3-2-2) than home record (3-1-4).
- Spurs are 5th overall in attempts at goal away from home, despite having relatively tough fixtures (whm sun ars mci avl hul che)
- Adebayor has been sent home to Togo for "personal reasons", so Kane is now nailed on with great fixtures: swa BUR lei MUN CHE cpl SUN wba (can bench him vs che)
- Soldado played 70 mins in EL. If Soldado is out then Kane is on penalties.
Seems silly to ignore such great value at 4.9m, especially when not many strikers are on form... only one striker (i.e. Ings) has a better than 5.4ppg average in their last 4.
He's £5m.
😉
Rick, your opinion on my post below.sure, i'll get to it in a moment. will just reply here first
i keep forgetting that. he's 4.9 in my team, hopefully a strong performance tomorrow can see him rise as people get him in for BUR lei. Would love some cash from him 😀
Spurs have good fixtures for a while too and with Adebayor back in Togo for personal reasons he seems likely to get 90 mins until the Jan wildcard
I'm looking at Eriksen as my yaya replacement in gw21 when Yaya leaves for AfCon. cpl SUN wba ARS gw21-24 looks perfect.
Not that i'm planning that far ahead, but it was something i noticed 😀
There may not be many on form, but there's a hell of a lot doing better than Kane is.
And bargains really aren't necessary atm.
I agree, but he was an enabler (for Yaya) a couple of weeks ago, and I have no reason to sell yet.
But you're trying to talk others into getting him.
Exactly
No, I'm not trying to convince anyone, just laying some stats out there.
You were trying to sell him to someone on the last page...
Last 4 gameweeks - 3 shots in the box, 9 touches in the box.
Everything else is window dressing imo.Carroll by comparison: 12 shots in the box, 44 penalty area touches.
to be fair, hul EVE che CPL... a couple of those fixtures were very tough, and not many strikers get touches in the box against Hull due to how deep they defend. That Palace game is a worry though. Hopefully it'll improve.
Not convinced by him.
He's an enabler, but would rather Austin for 1m more.
i have him, too
I have both as well, and pleased I do for next week, but nervous about not having bony tomorrow tbh. Think he'll outscore harry
he probably will, but he's also almost twice the price!
On the discussion Demi vs Zaba- I don't think Zaba will be rested again for a while. With all 3 star Strikers injured, City needs attack minded fullbacks & Zaba is much better than Sagna in that area. He had his rest & it's only 4 games from now on to FA Cup on 4th Jan where he'll obviously be rested. The dates of next 4 fixtures 20th, 26th, 28th, 1st. I think he'll play all of them. If you don't agree with me please do tell me why do you think he'll be rested again?
Just get Demi....no need to worry. just as likely to the attacking points as Zaba
Not sure about that. Surely Zaba is more of a threat going forward? Bdw. who is better in terms of earning Baps between them?
This. Demi is also more likely to pick up BAPS.
Here is what i wrote throughout a discussion a the previous page:
The only one I can see Zaba being rested for is BUR, and I have Hutton(SUN) or Kane(MUN) as 1st sub that week, and decent cover most other weeks too, so I would still buy him even if he were to get benched one game.
Will be watching Baines like a hawk. Another blank and he'll be out of my team I think.
I like having def's who have attacking threat, as they can clean up baps with a goal or assist even if the CS goes, whereas Demi or Mangala would be a nailed-on 2 pointer if one error happened.
I can get CS potential from a 4.2 def like hutton or wisdom, but CS potential PLUS attacking threat is what you want when you go over 5-5,5mAlso, not that it matters, but I did say yesterday that I thought that Zaba would get rested for Leicester and Burnley but play the rest... and so far I'm right 😀
Yep, I think he'll definitely miss one of the games from boxing day to new years.
Demi for me.Kompany could return sooner than expected though, and then you're stuck with Demi. Think long-term with defenders.
Yep, but he could also return after he is meant to, there are two sides to the coin 😛
HOME vs Burley on 28/12 looks like a good fixture to rest him.
City might be able to get goal without him.Thats the same week Hutton has SUN, so I can take that
Someone convince me that Azpili is nailed on.
I am considering Azpili+Chambers>Debuchy+ClichyHe isn't nailed on but still the 1st choice LB & he'll start next GW for sure.
Sorry to ask again mate but can you prove it or give me your rationale?
He was the 1st choice up until now. Jose decided to rotate/rest him. Luis got the opportunity but far from impressive. Azpi will play the next game. That much I can assure you. It's his place to lose.
Then I will keep him and transfer out Debuchy and a donkey called Dzeko.
no one is sure about that..he doesnt look like he has lost the place yet atm,but definitely at risk..arsenal defence is not a good option..get clichy that's it..
Jose said no one would play all matches over Xmas.
Azpil rested today.That sounds promising. Next week should reveal all TBH.
If Zabaleta who is more nailed on than Clichy was subbed dont you think Clichy might be at an even bigger risk too now that the mysterious and legendary Kolarov is back?
Clichy was always going to be rotated over christmas
https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=823835724318004
Made me laughschadenfreude is the best 😛
guys.....yaya is going to be the most important player in the game from now until jan1. do what ever it takes and get him in!!!!
what about downing?
cant compare the 2
I know. I have the force of nature myself but downing keeps returning points. I'm starting to consider selling Siggy for him.
Its tempting yeah. Pondering about it too
Yellow card incoming.
Lucky not to get one today.
Nonsense
Yeah Downing better than yaya at least. Would rather have alampard any day than Toure
Boyd & Dzeko > Yaya & Barnes
Gives me ...
Foster
Zabaleta , Ivan , Caulker
Yaya , Eriksen , Hazard , Sanchez , Oscar
Austin , Bony
Foster , Chambers , Barnes , wisdom
me likes
Can your budget not stretch to Pozo/Kane?
Benteke to Carroll, madness? Dont really have any other moves to do 😛
Awful fixtures for Carroll after next week.
Same decision to make myself., thinking of saving the transferand Leicester looked quite solid today
Giroud? Dont know how Benteke played, so not sure whether taking him out is wise or not
No funds for Giroud.
Might just save the transfer, nobody really strikes me as must have and the 2 transfers can come in handy to freshen up your team
Probably plenty of people discussing this already but I'm looking at getting zaba clichy or demi....
What would be your pick?
Thanks for your thoughts...Zab probably!
None of them. I think there will be heavy rotation. If you must get one though then get a CB. They won't be rotated as much
This. Mangala and Demi will start at CB until Company returns, which is apparently in the new year.
Demi of the two since Mangala is on 4YC.
Clichy has played 9 games straight
With all the injuries and suspension..its probably wise to save a ft whenever possible n resist making unnecessary transfers
Noted 😛
Very much my thinking.. Lots of injuries about with the cold weather too
Any thoughts lads?
Thinking of saving a transfer but open to suggestion..
Foster
Baines - Terry - Dummet
Hazard (c) - Sanchez - Yaya - Siggy
Rooney - Benteke - Austin
(Heaton - Yun - Brady - Hutton)
Nothing in the bank, think I should shift Benteke or hold?Sakho might be a good option. Cheaper too.
Possibly.. Sketchy fixtures though
is their a chance that yaya will start up top next game?
Up top as in striker? If so then he could be +OOP
No Pozo will start up top
I think Pozo will but, he could play far more advanced.
What game week will Yaya depart for ACoN? How many weeks until the yellow card suspension count rises off of 5?
January is when I suppose they will be "written off."
after Jan.1st
Why didn't anyone tell me Berahino was due to drop grrrrr
I rang but you never answer your phone
I rang but you chose to sleep.
i didn't ring but you never answered
I rang but you gave me the wrong number!
Should i take note of azpi/luis situation and steer clear of ben davies with rose lurking around?
Rotation isn't much of a problem with defenders as they tend not to come on as a sub. You have two sub defenders that can easily cover for you
It is when you have dummett away to arsenal coming on to cover him. Other choice was yun at Everton.
Not if you have duff and moore like me 🙂
I try to always pick players who are 100% nailed, or at least close to it. You're only a couple of injuries or red cards away from a mini-crisis, and you don't want players getting rotated when that happens. Davies seems like a red herring or a mirage to me.
Good point. Anyways Can u suggest a good option to replace duff for 4.5
Ive shortlisted to Yun Chester Coloccini Revirelle
I wish I'd done this. Could have saved some problems without Luis and Davies.
Are hits included in the current overall rankings?
Yes
Yes
yes
Who will be the TWO highest points scorers out of these 3 in the next 5 gw's?
A) Baines: sot STO new hul MCI
B) Terry: sto WHM sot tot NEW
C) Zabaleta: CPL wba BUR SUN eveB and C
D. Clichy (and cheapest too!)
Rotation with Kolarov
Granted he'll probably be rested one game over the holidays, but I'd say he's no more at risk than other City defenders. And he has started 9 straight premier league matches.
See below 🙂
A and C
Baines could get anything between 9 and 60 points.
Terry will get about 24.
Zabaletta similar to TerryAC
A wide range of responses. Baines is off-form while Chelsea are in CS-mode, but something is telling me to keep Baines and get Zabaleta for Terry instead of him. MNF will be interesting watching for sure.
I guess it all depends on how many pens everton get and whether Mirallas gets injured again 😛
Chelsea's away form is concern, they have only kept one clean sheet till date. Always concede that "one goal"
Otherwise, Zaba and Terry for me too.Same with Everton... 10 goals conceded in last 10, with only 2 CS's, and only conceded more than 1 twice. Nightmare.
Yeah - Would save too .
Pretty decent and nice to have those 2 fts for the tight schedule aheadThis, for Gimli
Evening lads. Anybody watching the boxing tonight?
I've seen a few Zabaleta vs Demi vs Clichy questions here, and I think there's two very important things some people overlook:
1) Zabaleta might get rested for one game over Christmas (in fact it is very likely), but when he is rested, you can be sure that he won't come on as a late sub for a 1 pointer.
In contrast, Clichy is likely to not play more than half the games (since Kolarov's attacking will be needed without a striker), while Kolarov himself is the ultimate 1pt troll, often coming on for 2-20 minute cameos.
2) Demichelis might be nailed on now, but there's no telling how serious (or not) Kompany's injury really is. He looked fine walking unhindered off the pitch, and could return earlier than expected, forcing you into a FT or (-4) when it could have been avoided.All possibly true , but sure , you can never be sure .
Thinking best to wait another gw , before venturing in on any of themGood points. I'm a Kompany owner and will definitely wait for more news, but things aren't looking good at the moment.
FPL 2014 is turning out to be a Mexican soap opera. So many injuries plus defensively solid teams resting players make it impossible to predict the next move. Damn. I am loving hits at the moment though.
Not taking a hit is becoming one of the best differentials 😀
sorry i have to disagree with the rotation part..its a known fact that zaba and to a lesser extent azpi (which probably explain y he is 6m instead of 6.5) is a risk in rotation..if u want little rotation get their captains like kompany and terry.
as for injuries u can actually minimize the damage by saving FT whenever possible..for all the injuries and suspensions i have only spent 1 hit to swap out krul..others are all dealt with or using my benchAgree in the main, but selective hits can and do pay .
A hit this week for Fab to Haz , if he was to be a Cpt choice is a prime example
Austin romping away with the early transfer poll, although im not convinced. However should he be clearly leading all polls by the weekend i may have to wimp out and get him.
At least he price protected so not rising any time soonIf I may ask, what is it about Austin that you don't like?
Seems to have it all going for him right now as an FPL option... home fixtures, form, pens, team is playing reasonably well of late, and he's cheap too. Would seem like a no-brainer as your Dzeko replacement if I say so myself.I dont like he playing wba who look defensively quite good at the moment. Solid.
Austin has already scored against Chelsea, City and Southampton. WBA not a problem imo...
WBA only got CS's against a terrible hull team, and i doubt they would have kept Benteke out had it not been for the red card as Villa were doing well until then. QPR home games are manic too, and would at least be fun to watch with Austin captained, especially in the absence of any clear-cut choice.
Why my posts always beig deleted in the dead zone? There is a hidden mod who is really getting on my goat this wee
Has there been one today?
Demi gone undercover ?
The mods don't seem to enjoy jokes much eh?
I think if you added Hazard, he would be in the top 5
Clyne -> Demi this week.? Already have baines and azpil and the exact money to do it.
Yes or No?
Yes
Rooney (c) looks an easy choice. (avl)
He's scored against Villa more than any other club.
Out of 25 games, he's scored 14 and assisted 6.
Scored more goals at Villa Park than any other ground.Hutton banned too
By the way Davies.
Calling yourself a Leicester expert is a travesty. You might have a fox on your grav but you no expert.
It was obvious to all and sundry that moore had lost his place and only played last week due to Morgans suspension. Yet you told me on this very forum that Moore would like
Y start against city
Fan yes, expert not 😉Hence the removal of the expert tag...
I didn't say he would likely start, at all. I said, that I'd like him to start and thought he would, IMO.Busted! 😛
Que a 9 save game from Guzan, then a winning goal from Fellaini off an Evan's assist. The FF crowd goes mad with frustration.
Cue Rooney grabbing a brace as expected.
I think you'll both find that its "queue", but as you were... 😀
3 different spellings of the same word 😛
I think you're wrong and Davies is right.
Indeed. You queue up in a line, but a cue is a signal for an event e.g. for actors
Ohh... I have Rooney too, thanks for reminder 😆
Espn team and FPL team are turning into headache 😀Stick the armband on him and be done with it. 😉
Dont have any other option except Yaya, might go with Rooney then 😀
£0.1 short of Dzeko to Rooney.
How annoying!I don't have Rooney soooo. Sanchez (C)
75 points with Baines and Rooney to play
Felling Excited 🙂
How many points did you guys get?We got points for not boasting
😆
Well there's something I thought I'd never see. TL coming off his high-horse to condemn a fellow-boaster 😀
Excellent. Quite happy with my 63 ( 3 Swans to play )
Lack of Baines could cost though , Rooney not so much.72 with rooney siggy taylor mirallas baines 🙂
39
Why are my posts being deleted? Is there a rogue mod about or is this being sanctioned by those above!

Do you see an expert tag next to my name? Didn't think so, mate..Ex-expert?
