In light of Sergio Aguero’s knee injury, we delve into the data to highlight a number of forwards’ weekend displays. Wilfried Bony and Robin van Persie’s fine form arrives under the spotlight, whilst we also assess Diego Costa’s recent toils for Chelsea. The Gunners’ weekend scorers and Tottenham’s in-form Dane are also amongst this evening’s topics as Fantasy managers look to spend that left over budget from the Aguero fall-out.
Don't have 3 defs next week.
Dzeko > Austin (got Costa and bony)
Moore > Demi
Best I can do you think?It's for -4
Looks like good choices
Yeah. Maybe consider Kane over Austin if you want to take a punt.
3/4 home games for Austin so I think I'm keen but yeah it's not a bad thought.
Who's the 5th mid ?
Marney.
Yeah I could just play him as opposed to shipping dzeko.
If it allows you to field 3 defenders then it's OK
looks very good. nice moves
Cheers all. If dzeko is only going to miss a week I'll keep otherwise I'll take the hit.
Is Austin suspended for the West Brom game or is he available? Seems by RMT that people think he is back?
He is. Back.
So Chambers and Azpi should both play next week right?
yup.
Yes
Probably yes
Yes
Cheers folks
Should i
A) Chambers -> Demichelis
B) Fabianaki Chambers -> Hart Yun -4 (1 week too late)A
Don't take a hit for a keeper Or defender unless you don't have 11
YEah true. Thus 1 weeek to lae. Should've done Fab -> Hart this week
Is Bartley a defo starter for Swansea?
CheersFor the time being, will be rotated though
sakho: any west ham fans around or anyone saw wha this gw...how did sakho look and play? heck i was thinking of even C him next gw LEI na dnow thinking of bringing eriksen BUR and benchin either sanchez liv or downing LEI or sako LEI
Who has the biggest chance of a CS? Chambers (Pool away) or Clyne (Everton home)?
Clyne.
Will tell you tomortow
Chambers
Clyne
Spectrum?
Do Eriksen. Marney is going to be useless, next few weeks. You need a plethora of big hitters, imo.

Thanks Doos pretty conclusive from the feedback. Main concern obviously is the benching dilemma
Well, I have learnt to live with that, every week. Sometimes, it may be taken out of our hands.
Just one cautionary note - I am getting Cazorla. 🙂
This may be a stupid question but, what is that rank that is above your Overall rank (Gameweek 1) What does it mean?
People who started in gw 1. Some people start after.
Cheers.
Well, anyone care to chime in?
Guzan/McCarthy (dead)
Ivan/Baines/Duff/Cresswell/Naylor
Eriksen/Siggy/Downers/Haz/Alexis
Dzeko (sigh)/Bony/Austin.
Thinking of actually just saving FT and playing 352 for next week. Thoughts?I would save as well.
Nice team. I would not want Dzeko.
Well, i wanted him before he got injuted.
Dzeko out, midfield & defense are solid
Only anomaly in your team at the moment imoJust save that mid is well equipped to score big next week , captain Austin , that's actually a nice team without Dzeko
3-5-2 works. Having 2 FT is always useful, but so is having your benched stocked as full as possible each week at this time of year.
Chadli > Silva worth a hit? If I don't do it I will have to start him.
I'd get rid of Chadli.
Doing Clyne to a Chelsea or City player but no idea who.
Clichy - Cheaper, attacking but threat of Kolorov (which didn't happen even though fit)
Zabaleta - Attacking but another rotation risk
Terry - Solid, had a 'his break' mid week after Jose's roation talk.
Cahill - Stats betters (see article) but hasn't been rested recently.
Thoughts?
Im doing the same thing, going for zab i think, just had his rest vs leicester so shouldnt be rotated too much in the near future
Terry for me, rather opt for the safe call here
So tricky as City have the better fixtures but are more rotation prone.
Risk/reward!if u get clichy/zab then at least they'll never come on for a few mins if they dont start, they either start or dont come on at all, so should be ok if u have a good 4th def
Personally doing Clyne to Demi as I already have Azpi.
A or B?
A. Yaya, Bony, Sakho
B. Downing, Van Persie, AustinB
B, tough call though
I rate Austin higher than SakhoB is more explosive and A will get you steady points imo
B
Best goin forward:
1.Mangala 6.0
2.Demi 5.9Neither, imho.
Who would you get from the City defence Doos?
Clichy or Hart.
What makes you say that Doos?
2
City rearly keeps clean sheets without Kompany.
2 by a small margin.
B, but I'd be poking the city defense with a barge pole right now.
Hart would be the only one I'd be keen onha! but w komp injured, looks like both mangala (red card potential) anddemi nailed whereas the rest fb not. thus demi best, no? i have guzan so it be a waste for hart given avl fixtures.
Too many future headaches I can't wrap my head around
I can't really help you on this one porteno 😉
Morning all,
a question I've been mulling over, if you could only have 2 out of Costa, Fab and Haz, who would you take?
I'm swaying towards Haz and Fab, Costa is just a red card waiting to happen, I can see him getting targeted more by defences as the season goes on.
all comments welcome.
Haz is all you need but Fab and Haz if you want two...
Hazard
& Costa , if only because there are loads of midfielder options and very little strikers screaming to be signedtrue about striker options, I have RVP, Bony and costa at mo, if I release costa for a cheapy forward, (thinking Kane) I will have just that little extra to have a midfield of Sanchez, Erik, Fab, Haz and Cazorla, I think Cazorla is hitting form now, might be a gamble though I know.
Good fixtures for all over Christmas im thinking, if its a mess and blows up in my face, I can always sort it out on Jan wildcard.
Hazard a give-in
I'd like Fab as some solid backup with Hazard, nailing the assists as always
Costa wouldn't go anywhere near my watchlistHaz & Fab = more points and more money ITB for other players
I've been wondering the same thing; I want to keep Azpi in defence along with two of these. Currently I'm on Fab + Costa but I'm seriously starting to consider something crazy like Costa+Jedinak -> Perez+Haz...
The player I think I'd most like for next week is Andy Carroll
why more than sakho? did u watch the wha game, how did both look?
Just on the stats since he's been back , very good
And Leicester concede the most headed Chances , well just a shed load of chances generally
Agreed
thnx makes sense the headers fakt. im stuck. as i have very good options and nt eriksen BUR.
\who would u bench out f this front 7, if u were to bring eriksen
sanchez liv - haz stk - downing LEI - yaya CRY
dcosta stk - sakho LEI - austin WBA
Let them get RVP
RACING goal. watch argentinia stadium go NUTZ. mercy racing of avaleeneda fans are just brilliant. 50 k people en el cilindro CHAMPS
Siggy + Costa > Eriksen + RVP worth doing?
Hell yeah!
Meh
Sounds a bit last week
yup, chasing points. but moves are ok
Eriksen i like, RvP not so much
Urgent help needed before price rise. I can just afford clichy and eriksen. Or should I do Silva and Caulker? I have no other city or spurs cover??
A
Like many I'm torn over the Spurs & Wham options.
Eriksen or Kane.
Downing or Sahko.
1 from each team is option so it's
A) Eriksen & Sahko
or
B)Downing & Kane
I have A and I'm very happy with it but B is a good option too. I got rid of Downing a few weeks ago and have regretted it since
Eriksen
DowningDowning & Kane imo
Cheers guys
Doosra has a point though, would feel more comfortable having the midfield options
Kane & Sakho aren't too convincing
Austin wins the battle in the budget forward battle imo
I have no City cover whatsoever so looking to get some cover in with my FT this week. I have 3 options but unsure which is the best option: (1.5m in the bank)
a) Azpi > Zabeleta/Demichelis
b) Chambers > Zabeleta/Demichelis
c) Forster > Hart
If going for A or B which is the better option? There is a good chance that Zaba will get dropped for 1 of the next 4 league gamesC)
Its something I only thought of a few minutes ago. Up till then I was thinking Chambers to Demichelis. Now it has me thinking...
Best forward for 8.4m?
Already got Bony & Austin...
giroud, kane or sakho
Giroud, Benteke, Sakho. Probably Sakho the safe pick. Benteke for flair
Giroud, Carroll, Sakho
Austin.
Sorry - you got him. Sakho, then.
Welbeck
Giroud or Sakho
Cheers guys
So I need to get rid of dzeko. My options are:
A) dzeko to bony/giroud/Austin/kane
B) dzeko to Austin/kane, siggy to Silva (-4)
C) dzeko to giroud, clyne to Clichy (-4)
D) dzeko to Kane/Austin, duff to any man city defender (who?, -4)
E) Another optionA could also include Carroll
sorry that doesn't help!
I think Austin is a good shout, has good fixtures too and frees up nice bit of cash for a transfer next week.
I wouldnt take a hit for Silva, just back from injury...
Clichy is not nailed but no one knows whats going on in the city defenceJust Dzeko to Bony for me here
No need for the hit
best striker to own for next week if money is no issue?
Money no issue? Surely RVP?
I have RVP and Costa, and am stuck on the 3rd, (probably Austin)
Rooney loves playing Aston Villa so he'll be my captain
Should one ditch Sigurdsson for Eriksen for a hit now?
I'll lose 0.5 in value, but Eriksen seems far better investment.
Eriksen rising tonight
better to look on it as banking .5
Mata or Eriksen (have Kane)?
Eriksen
Eriksen. Not convinced Mata will continue his output. Would rate Rooney or RVP more
What's the chances of Chambers starting at home to QPR on boxing day ?
Strong I think. Too many injuries. Even if Kos comes back chances are some other Arsenal defender will get injured, lol
Chambers worth keeping?
I'd think so, until Koscielny returns
Fabianski / Pantilimon
Baines / Zabaleta / Azpilicueta / Wisdom / DUFF*
Hazard / Sanchez / Siggy / Downing / OBERTAN*
Bony / Lukaku / Austin
1FT / 3.6 ITB
Who should my main priority be out - Duff or Obertan?
Can just afford Obertan > Eriksen, but that leaves me with no extra funds anywhere else.
Alternative: Obertan > Mirallas
Duff might be more of a priority with 2 defenders with rotation risk? Thinking of maybe Jones, or the Man City double up with Demi?Your defense is solid (its actually 1 away from my defense and I am thinking of going Chambers to a Man City defender) so I dont see the need to get rid of Duff. Upgrade Obertan. Eriksen is a good shout for his next 2 fixtures
What to do with Silva and Siggy? Brought in Silva this week....
Keep Silva, why get rid?
Same with Siggy, great away game coming up to break the trend.
If not, then I'd ponder on taking him out. No real rush imo
