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.

why not yaya this GW?
-
Because I'm happy with my mids.

Enjoy. -
Silly question. Is Dzeko confirmed out?
-
Hate to transfer him out and he has a slight chance for Palace.
-
Same.
-
-
Yes
-
Source, please?
-
-
-
Okay, I'd be foolish to disregard that. Thanks
-
-
Need to know this as well
-
yes
-
Source please?
-
Pelegrinos mouth 😛
-
Many a thing is said in the immediate aftermath. Has he had a scan?
-
I have no idea tbh
-
Maybe check Ben Dinnery at twitter
-
lols
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
I think , like most of us ,I over focused on city's fixtures . Its just to tricky to work
out where the points will come from now , if at all , with all the injuries
May look elsewhere-
look at spurs (Kane and Eriksen)
-
Well no one saw Dzeko getting get injured in warm up. I think GW 16-20 he would have really been a good source of points
-
Me to 🙁
-
It's emotional, I saw him on twitter in the starting line up and breathed a sigh of relief ... only to find out at full time that he didn't fail to score but he failed to start.
-
-
-
Same here. Buyer's remorse now though. But a small part of me is still insisting Dzeko in was the right decision.
-
Small part? Of course him getting injured in the warm up doesn't make it any less of a good decision. On top of that Sakho Costa flopped too, although RVP didn't go down so quietly. 🙁
-
(I say those strikers as those were my alternatives if not Dzeko)
-
-
-
Clichy & Yaya for me
-
Not worried about Kolarov getting a start?
-
He's played all but 13 minutes of the last 810.
Rotation will affect everyone but I'm pretty sure Clichy will make up the points for the odd games he may miss.
-
-
-
-
How long is Courtois out for?
-
So who else here is going without bony and man city cover?
-
No-one
-
Who do I get? Can't afford anyone
-
West Ham - Downing and Sakho both cheap
-
I have downing already
-
how about bolasie
-
-
-
Austin is your man
-
I was thinking that.
-
3 home fixtures in his next 4
-
-
-
-
-
No Bony, happy with Costa & RVP for now.
-
Same here. Austin a good 3rd striker?
-
Very 🙂
-
-
-
-
Can't wait for the next week I don't have to take a hit.
-
Join the party, we're naked
-
-
who fancies big benteke for next GW?
-
Considering him as Costa's replacement GW 18 onwards
-
-
A bit late to the party but. Eriksennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
-
Never to late 🙂
-
Juhuu hopefully Baines scores tonight to boost me to 5k mark.
Nice rank bud
-
-
Dive right in mate, we're all naked
-
-
Best duo: thnx
1. eriksen + sakho/carrol
2. haz + kane
CHE (stk-WHA-sou-tot-NEW)
WHA (sun-LEI-che-ARS-WBA-swa)
TOT (BUR-lei-MUN-CHE-cry-SUN)-
2
-
Haz + sakho/carroll
-
2
-
-
Best 9.4 midfielder to go with Haz, Sanchez and Siggy?
A. Silva
B. Downing
C. Eriksen
D. Other-
Had the same choice and went Silva.
-
eriksen
-
No shots yesterday concerns me.
-
His goal record is concerning too.
But I feel like I need a City attacker with their fixtures.-
Lampard?
-
-
-
-
B. Downing (+ cash)
-
Silva has the best fixtures, I just wonder who he's going to cross it to?
Downing probably the best value though. -
Would want silva but he's only just returned so I'd wait on him. So C
-
B, if he doesn't score much I'd be less annoyed
Erik too inconsistent for my taste, but he could score big -
Cheers all, think I'm going Silva.
-
-
Been a long time since I've been happy with my team, good to have that feeling again:
Hart
Baines Chester Bertrand
Hazard Sanchez Silva Siggy
Costa Giroud Austin
Gilks Wisdom Marney Moore
(WC not used)-
Great looking, all the reason too 🙂
Bench would be only real worry tbh -
Nice team.....wish I had that feeling.
-
-
Austin is back for (WBA) right?
-
Yes.
-
Thanks.
-
-
Yessir
-
-
Teams pretty sorted - just one dilemma.
Play
Taylor (hul)
Wisdom (qpr)
I think wba look reasonably solid at the back, however I also think QPR carry greater goal threat at home than Hull.........your thoughts?-
taylor - qpr will score
-
Austin owner I assume 🙂
-
YES!!!
-
-
-
Taylor.....definitely.
-
Same here Bartley vs. Yun. In your case, go Taylor. Austin is back
-
Taylor. Much expected of Austin 🙂
-
Thanks guys, I'm currently on Taylor.
I don't own Austin so didn't have that judgement skew....... do agree that QPR are more likely at home than hull.
-
-
Hull have scored 2 goals in 7 games.
-
Done.
-
-
Taylor.
-
-
Hey guys any idea what I should do? Rose>Zaba maybe? 1FT 1.8M in the bank
Green
Baines Clyne Jenkinson
Downing Siggy Sanchez Hazard
Costa Rooney Austin
Subs: McCarthy, Boyd Rose Hutton -
With 10 points only between the top GK and the GK in 7th, is there any point wasting money on the expensive ones?
My Foster/Myhill combination has got my 58 points so far this season and comes with the hassle of not having to decide which one to pick then regretting my decision!-
Me* even.
-
Foster/West Brom have performed much better than expectations this season. But you're defo right, no point wasting more than 8.5/9m on keepers.
-
Alan Irvine is a specialist in defensive coaching.
-
-
-
Keepers are over rated.
-
It's common practice to pick a cheap rotation round these parts.
I got burned by Heaton this week, but still feel I made the correct choice with playing Foster.-
That is world class optimism 🙂
-
-9 optimism!
-
Playing poker for 10 years will have that effect 😀
-
-
-
Its a good point well made. I waste* so much time on this game that anything that removes decisions is arguably worth a few points!
*invest
-
-
Dzeko > RVP, yay or nay? 'Bout to pull the trigger before price changes.
Guzan (krul)
Ivan Baines Wisdom (Duff, Bruce)
Sanchez Hazard Siggy Downing (Wanyama)
Austin Bony Dzeko
4.9m ITB 1FT-
Nay
-
Any suggestions?
-
-
You don't fancy Costa?
-
Not really, not explosive enough for me ... and since I'm chasing and my rival has Costa, it's not an option since 7/11 of our starters are already the same lol
-
-
I'm just 2/3 yays away from hitting confirm!!! Need that push lol
-
-
Would you replace Dzeko with:
a) RVP
or
B) Austin-
I love how this is even a question 😀
-
😆
-
-
b + money
-
Woah there Diva, who else you got up top?
-
Bony and Kane. 🙂
-
Think I'd choose Chauly here Diva
Though ideally I'd have both
-
-
Depends what you can do with funds but Austin is easy pick, I'm going RVP coz I already have Austin
-
Improve a defence that already has Azpilicueta and Baines, or improve a midfield that already has Hazard, Sanchez, Fàbregas and Downing... 🙂
-
Diva spend up top - Costa
-
I would not do this, & especially not this week mate
RvP would be my choice in the big hitter section -
Thanks, but I'm happy without Costa at present. Sold him three weeks ago and have jumped up the rankings in that time with three green arrows. (Plus I'm already maxed out on Chelsea). 🙂
-
-
-
-
BBBBBB!
-
A) with that info
for B, Have to know what could yo do with the rest of the cash -
Thanks for all the replies!
-
-
What to do with this lot:
Foster | Krul
Baines | Berty | Chambers | Dummet | Duff
Chadli | Haz | Sánchez | Siggy | King
Bony | Costa | Kane
1 FT, 3.1 ITB?
a. Chadli ➡ Downing
b. Chadli ➡ Eriksen
c. Chadli, Berty ➡ Yaya, 4.0 DEF
d. Chadli, Baines ➡ Yaya, 5.9 DEF (probly Demi)
e. other-
d
-
a & b look good
-
A or B look good.
-
e. Chadli/ King, Costa to Austin, Yaya
-
-
Right then i'm swapping Dzeko to Giroud
Also think i've lost patience with Costa, worth -4 to swap him to Rooney?-
no but worth putting rvp in.
-
Patience? What is it that you're waiting for.
-
-
How many points do you need for a 5k rank?
-
About 920
-
I have 916 points (6k rank) and have Lukaku and Baines left. One goal from Lukaku and I'll be there?
-
I'm in the exact same boat. Same points, Lukaku & Baines left.
-
-
-
Dunno if this is of any use, but anyway:
Overall Points 916
Overall Rank 5,997-
I think we're in a ML together :O
-
I highly doubt that as I'm hardly in any MLs 🙂
-
You're right 😛
One of my rivals has same points/rank as you - also a member!
-
-
-
Same points as me 😀
-
Nice, now all we need is attacking points from Lukaku and Mirallas tomorrow 😉
-
-
-
920
And Google *Gargatron* Chrome Extension it'll answer this & a lot more for you.

Foster (Myhill)
Baines Zabaleta Dummett (Wisdom Yun)
Sanchez Hazard Oscar Siggy (Boyd)
Costa Bony Kane
1 FT. 3.6m ITB.
My main issue is a lack of a captaincy option this week. So should I do:
(A) Oscar to Yaya (c).
(B) Kane to Austin (c).
(C) Bony to RvP (c)
(D) Save FT.-
a
-
Captain Hazard?
-
Away from home?
-
-
A
But If you go D, Sánchez (C) could be good-
Cheers.
-
-
-
bony or costa and why?
-
Bony because Hull are pony. And Bony rhymes with pony so he'll get a hatrick
Also Costa away from home is nothing to get excited over. Costa's good but I'm unsure if he can do it on a wet Monday night in Stoke.-
great answer!
-
-
Costa has scored over 6 points once since game week 4, scoring 7 in game week 11. He's got 2 bonus points since then also. I think he'll be rested one of the games over christmas too.. If you think a player scoring the odd 6 is worth 11.1 go ahead.
-
-
Is Fer an adequate replacement for Austin?
My forwards are Rooney, Bony and Sakho. I really want Austin but cannot convince myself to take any of these out.-
no but not worth taking any forwards out either.
-
Really worried Austin will rack up big numbers against West Brom. QPR rotate well with Palace (I also have Jedinak) so getting Fer will facilitate me getting rid of Boyd
-
-
-
gotta be done tonite. who is more essential for next gw? stuck here, thnx.
1.eriksen BUR
2.Mci Def in either Demi or Mangala CRY
*if eriksen, i will either bench downing LEI, sakho, sanchez liv, or haz stk.-
Wouldn't bench either of those tbh
-
what is your current defence?
-
you wouldn't want to bench any of them so City defender this week and then have another look at Eriksen
-
this, but if you gonna take Eriksen now u would do it cuz of next two games BUR and lei.
Next week he will have lei MUN CHE
-
-
guzan - *hamer
baines - chambers - wisdom - hutton - *moore
sanchez - haz - sigur - downing - yaya
austin - dcosta - sakho
itb 1.4-
id go for demi then
-
thnx.
would u take a hit to bring eiksen BUR and bench either sanchez, downing, or haz?-
no - all 3 have good potential next week 🙂
-
thnx. last thing, if i dont bring erik no , then he'll be .1 too expsenive 4 me next week. defo, not worth it to bing him now for a hit and bench sakho/downing or haz?
have nightmares of when i didnt b ring for a hit sanches and he had that massive haul 🙂

Clyne or Clichy for Christmas period??
-
clyne
-
Clichy
-
-
Why can't you vote up your own posts?
Ever heard of self respect? -
Yaya Silva Eriksen Cazorla.
Whos worth my AgueroCash and FT for Siggy this Week and why??!-
Sanchez - easy run plus in-form.
-
zabaleta rising ?
-
-
anyone fancy a little go at James Wilson?
-
I like women thanks.
-
Falcao will get a few starts.
-
-
Why ditch Siggy everyone?
His next two games look pretty lucrative...-
It's the curse of "What have you done for me lately?"
