In light of Sergio Agueroβs knee injury, we delve into the data to highlight a number of forwardsβ weekend displays. Wilfried Bony and Robin van Persieβs fine form arrives under the spotlight, whilst we also assess Diego Costaβs recent toils for Chelsea. The Gunnersβ weekend scorers and Tottenhamβs in-form Dane are also amongst this eveningβs topics as Fantasy managers look to spend that left over budget from the Aguero fall-out.
-
Any news on who City will play up front over the next few weeks.
Is Jovetic definitely out?-
yes
-
So Pozo at 5.0 worth a punt then?
-
maybe
-
Nah, he doesnt have it
-
Annoying as it is with City's fixtures, I think the situation is one to monitor unless you're happy to punt and have a FT to burn if you need to correct. I suspect a Silva false 9 might be the way they go. But that's just an educated guess.
-
Nah. Kane, Austin, Sakho all better budget options imo
-
-
-
Apparently Pellegrini has been talking up False 9 with Nasri, Milner or Silva.
-
impending Bandwagon then
-
If they were to ever do this, id assume its Silva in the false 9. I dont like either of them in that position tbh.
-
-
-
Dzeko , Oscar > Giroud & Yaya -4
Gives me...
Foster
Zabaleta , Ivan , Caulker ,
Eriksen , Hazard , Sanchez , Yaya
Austin , Giroud , Bony
Mannone , chambers , Boyd ,wisdom-
Wow! Great rank leaf! π
Like the idea of Oscar out for sure, though the hit for Yaya doesn't sound too appealing.
Ideally, YYT would improve that midfield tenfold.
Have you considered RvP? Or Downing?
-
-
Who to play?
A) De Gea (AVL)
B) Adrian (LEI)-
de gea
-
10.5 on Gk's π―
-
A on great form, B has the better fixture - I'd go B personally but its a coin toss.
-
-
is falcao fit soon?
-
He`ll probably never be fully fit again
-
-
Captaincy looks tricky next weekend, can see a lot of variance as there's not really a clear cut option.
Who are people thinking of?-
Downing seems like a good punt against LEI, but RVP are on my cards..
-
Eriksen or bony
-
Sanchez
-
Austin. Home menace, week off.
-
Rooney has a great record at Villa park - that's all I need to know.
-
I think these responses highlight your point π
We're all taking a punt this week π-
Yep 6 different names out of 6!
I'm still on Costa atm, but I do fancy a punt on Kane.-
I think Costa is the safe choice, and that's usually the best choice......
-
-
-
How does his record look when he plays in the midfield though π
-
If he could stop picking up yellows and killing his bap chances I think he'd have a few more owners......
-
-
He does. But its United, and its away. I guess if you own him this is a good a week as any to gamble on it.
-
-
-
Kane is the only person in my front 7 playing at home this week, it's not going to be a great week...
-
who have you got?!???
-
Sanchez, Hazard, Oscar, Siggy, Costa, Bony, Kane. Might draft in Yaya for Oscar.
-
not bad although you could do siggy for downing or eriksen if you have the money. Both west ham and spurs look good a the moment imo.
-
Spurs looked kak today. Eriksen did nothing all game apart from take a corner and that late shot.
That said, DEM FIXTURES! π― :p-
eriksen was good throughout and when soldado came off he played more central. Therefore if Kane starts alone up top he will get the points against a leaky burnley side at home.
-
Yet Eriksen had a G and A despite that....draft him in now
-
-
-
-
-
Yaya, Downing, Austin, Kane (H) π
-
Yeah wish I had Yaya, Downing and Austin this week.
-
-
-
anyone here would go for Eriksen + Carroll (headers ag LEI)/ sakho
instead of Haz + Kane?
given the fixtures.
CHE (stk-WHA-sou-tot-NEW)
WHA (sun-LEI-che-ARS-WBA-swa)
TOT (BUR-lei-MUN-CHE-cry-SUN)-
haz + kane
-
Haz + Kane will score more IMO
-
cheers
-
-
So Bony rising tonight ?
He better do.-
I thought typically Bony's rise in the morning.......
-
I'll get my coat
-
π
-
-
-
Looks like it.
-
Bony see, bony do
-
-
RMT
Foster - Krul
Naylor Clichy Yun - Chester Wilson
Siggy Silva Sanchez Eriksen - Marney
RVP Sakho Costa -
Thoughts on what to do here?
Foster Krul
Baines Azpi Clyne Hutton Wisdom
Yaya Sanchez Downing Hazard Siggy
Austin Costa Sakho
1FT 0.5 ITB-
Looks good to me though i'd like to have 2 heavy hitter fwds but your mids make up for it. Its a benching headache though.
-
I know, tempted to squeeze in Bony somewhere but would mean a -4 unless I did Costa
-
thanks though m8
-
-
-
Dzeko to carroll for free for Leicester game?I would like RVP but not for a hit and also I will stil hav 5m to play around with. Got 72 with baines to go so team doin ok. It's not all bout most expensive players...
-
Could work out. Foxes are absolutely abysmal. Looking like Palace same time last season.
-
-
Interesting ...
The possibility of a new role for Milner is intriguing. ‘We will work this week with the players to see who can play best in that position. It can be Silva, it can be Nasri, it can be Milner,’ said Pellegrini.
‘We must decide which is the best one. I always said James is a very useful player for the squad. At some moments he wants to play more but wherever he plays he is important. That is why we’ve kept him here.
‘Pozo is not a striker. We must try to find another way to play because our strikers will be out for at least one month more.’-
Meh. Milner doesnt interest me even if he were to play the false 9. Good player, terrific team spirit but just not a fpl prospect. Even at that low price.
-
even at a good price playing oop up front with a team full of top draw assisters?
-
Yeah. Hes just not the type to bang goals.
-
-
-
Should have kept Negredo
-
It is interesting. I'm saving my bank for another week to see how it shakes out
-
Milner playing OOP as city's striker in those fixtures is pretty great value. If he plays as a striker vs CPL and WBA then I'll probably consider Siggy>Milner for the BUR SUN fixtures.
Thanks for the information! π -
Thx, didnt know that:)
So we shouldnt rush to take more city options to replace Dzeko or so.. and wait one week to see the new roles in the team?
Maybe only defence options are ok to be done this gw and midfielders next week -
Very interesting. Was thinking of bringing in Yaya but holding off a week to see how this situation shakes out looks more prudent.
-
-
Anything to change?
Heaton
Azpi / Baines / Yun
Sanchez / Siggy / Haz / eriksen
Rooney / bony / Austin
Bench: guzan / Clyne / Naylor / Boyd
1ft 3mil itb
Originally was thinking Clyne to Demi but do you guys see anything else? Or save?
Thanks fellas.-
baines> clichy
siggy > yaya-
Not worried about Kolarov taking his minutes?
-
-
Save imo
-
-
Guzan
Baines, Kompany, Azpi
Yaya, Sanchez, Hazard, Downing
Austin, Sakho, Bony
McCarthy, Mirrallas, Wisdom, Naylor
Kompany > Demichellis (want to get him out before he drops)
Anything else that needs changing for next GW?-
No gtg
Captain??-
toss up between austin & sakho
-
Me:toss up between austin &yaya
-
forgot about yaya!
do you think i should just bench kompany for this gw and play naylor (hull away) then have 2ft the week after or just make the change?
-
-
-
-
-
Hi DZ,
Please help my team below
Guzan Elliot*
Baines Azpilicueta Clyne Chambers Wisdom
Yaya Hazard Fabregas Siggy Downing
Bony Austin Kane
Plan to do Clyne -> Clichy and Siggy -> Eriksen for -4
Yay or Nay?-
Fabre→sanchez + clyne→clichy
-
-
Repost
Brendan rodgers→klopp
Thoughts!-
The Klopp who's team is 3rd bottom in the Bundesliga? That Klopp? π―
lol, jokes aside, I think he'd be my No.1 preference as replacement, but it would probably only happen in the summer. I don't think there's any manager in the world who I enjoy watching interviewed, absolute gentleman but great charisma and humor too, along with some mad moments to spice it up too π
Rodgers should get until the end of the season though, partly because none of the best managers jump around mid-season.-
I could manage the team better then Rodgers π
-
A dead squirrel stuffed with cheese could manage the squad better than what Rodgers has done this season...
-
-
Cheers rick!
You're right
-
-
-
did rooney to RVP.
can't believe shrek played in the double pivot π-
π
-
I think that is a sensible transfer at this point if you have nothing else pressing and enough money to do so. Nice move, SJ hope it works out!
-
cheers walsh
gives me an easy captaincy option for next GW as well
-
-
-
Make sense to do siggy and benteke to Kane and silva for a hit or stick?
Courtois
Baines cresswell zabaleta
Mirallas downing hazard Sanchez
Austin benteke costa
Subs myhill siggy dummet Moore-
I'd advise against those transfers. I'd probably save with that team.
-
Was looking for you earlier Walsh as I always respect your advice, but you wasn't around and I was about to go sleep (just jumped back on cause I can't sleep) was really toiling with what to do for the best
-
May I be of some help now?
-
This was my dilemma. . Thought I was all set on a City def this week for Chambers but I can do Marney-Eriksen before the price change tonight which would leave me .4 to do Clyne to Demi next gameweek if I go the Eriksen route then would have to be done tonight. What should I do? Eriksen or City def this week?
Guzan Elliot
Baines Clyne Azpi Chambers Dummett
Haz Sanchez Downing Siggy Marney
Costa Austin Bony
After a bit of feedback decided to go with the Eriksen move, hope I did the right thing.-
Very difficult call. I get the appeal for a strong front 8 for this month but I don't usually like to play that way. I'm really not sure what I would have advised to be honest as I am not a tremendous Eriksen fan. I would have considered losing Siggy for Eriksen instead of Marney though, possibly. Eriksen just one of those frustrating players to own in my experiences, but it could work a trick. I think a big problem with most of the teams I see on here is the double Swans attack and it seems like time to move on from Siggy with Bony firing them in for fun.
But, what's done is done and your team does look very nice overall and I do like your plan to get Demi in quite a bit!-
Thanks mate appreciate the honesty, could leave me with a benching headache for sure but Marney was on 4 YC and with rotation likely to kick in over xmas it leaves me with a strong 1st sub, also gives me a chance to make a bit of money and can also go back to a cheap 5th mid with the Jan WC if need be.
-
Yeah I see where you're coming from completely. Good luck with it!
-
Cheers guess it also allows for a possible 352 as well. Going to try to sleep now. Good luck to you to.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Stick definitely. Too sideways
-
-
How am I looking for the upcoming GW lads?
Guzan
Demichelis - Azpilicueta - Yun Suk-Young
Sanchez - Hazard - Yaya - Eriksen
Rooney - Lukaku - Austin
Had exact funds for Baines + Siggy > Demichelis + Eriksen so pulled the trigger (-4).
May be a controversial move but Baines and Siggy have just not been bringing in the points lately. Wanted City and Spurs players for their plum fixtures.-
Bench: Schmeichel - Wisdom - Boyd - Chambers.
-
Not a huge fan of that hit, Kurtinho, but could pay off. Looking good otherwise.
-
-
drama. la Academia of Racing of argentina about to become champs.
Diego milito came back to lead them to become.
best fans in argentina to make a fiesta in the Cilindro stadium. just you tube them to see them. 50k doing a circus there what scenes.-
milito reminds me a bit of francescolli. obv enzo is better.
-
-
Tempted with Costa>Rvp someone talk some sense into to me.
Already have Haz and Ivan-
Getting rid of Costa is a good move in my opinion. I like that transfer quite a bit.
-
Indeed, no appeal at that price whatsoever.
Gotta stay pro-active in these dire times π-
RVP has even less appeal at his price though... see the kane vs rvp debate below. lot of money to sink into one player that
-
-
-
Costa's underlying stats have actually improved compared to the start of the season according to the above article... the only difference is his finishing isn't as clinical. I'm sure the goals will come
-
-
RVP or Kane for the next 3 weeks? (Who scores higher in your view)
-
RVP should do, but Kane's fixtures are amazing so he could very well score more. You've got to consider their price as well. Kane is 7.5m cheaper, and with than 7.5m you can get an awful lot of upgrades elsewhere in your squad...
-
Also, Kane is playable every fixture until the last Jan WC week
-
+1
-
Also, Kane does very well in the baps when he gets a goal, like today... Hard work, lots of tackles, crosses, shots, touches in the box, etc...
It helped him outscore Rooney and Bony today for instance...
-
-
RVP I would imagine.
I mean if the lad is back on song then we know what he can do and he has had double figures last 3 out of four games...
Kane yet to score over 8.-
Kane had that glancing header just wide, the top corner curler, and the late 1v1 chance that was saved... could sooo easily have been more than 1 goal today
-
... not to mention that he might have won a penalty as well, which he may have converted himself (not sure if that was before or after soldado going off)...
-
-
-
Ofc, it stops me from doing Duff > Demi for next week but City might concede to palace and also RVP gives me a captain option this week. Just can't captain Kane.
-
-
I could really really really really do with a Phil Jagielka gal tomorrow, please.
Thank you.-

I could really really really really do with a PΜΆhΜΆiΜΆlΜΆ ΜΆJΜΆaΜΆgΜΆiΜΆeΜΆlΜΆkΜΆaΜΆ Baines goal tomorrow, please.
Thank you. -
* Baines/Coleman goal π
-

RVP
but at the price of 2 and a half Kanes-
reply fail.
"RVP or Kane for the next 3 weeks? (Who scores higher in your view)"
-
-
Draft league match up. Who will win?...
A: Lukaku + Barkley
B: Howard + 1 point-
A imo
-
which iirc is you! π
-
A-:)
-
-
-
-
Too late to buy Downing?
A: Boyd -> Downing
B: Boyd + Siggy -> Downing + Eriksen
Front 8 now as follows:
Yaya - Sanchez - Hazard - Siggy - Boyd
Costa - Bony - Kane-
No. He looks to be a wonderful pick.
-
It's never to late to buy Downing, he's involved in a lot but it would put you in a benching dilema with 5 good mids.
I wouldn't want to bench Costa or Bony in any match.
Kane's next couple fixtures are prime (BUR, lei) even after ManU & Chelsea they have Palace, West Brom and Sunderland. -
He's been a-lo-mode since Gw8 ;
Always a good choice, great value
I say go for A either way. Solid prospect for this coming week.
No need for the latter move IMO
-
-
Just enough money to do Rooney β‘ RVP.
Rest of the team:-
Adrián . McCarthy
Baines . Taylor . Dummett . Clyne . Hutton
Boyd . Sánchez . Sigurdsson . Downing . Hazard
Rooney . Diego Costa . Austin-
RVP pending to rise in 10 minutes.
-
go for it
-
-
Is it worth taking a hit to bring in carroll and kane for Perez (who scored against gunners and is coming off the bench for me which is nice) and dzeko?? hav bony and 5.8m itb and would like to hold on to it a while longer, also hav milner sice GW2/3 so recent article is interesting too.
-
With this midfield & a staggering 7 hits accumulated in hits for injury & impulsive reasons,
would you take one to stay below par with some homies?
(Marney) Hazard - Sanchez - Siggy - Oscar* (0.2m ITB)
A) Oscar --> Eriksen (-4)
B) Oscar --> Downing (-4)
C) Stay put you worthless condom!-
Preferred Eriksen.
I'd lose Siggy rather than Oscar though.-
π Could only afford Siggy --> Downing
Think I'm being a bit knee jerky in any case, gotta show some resolve every once in a while
-
-
I've been away this weekend..so sorry for this in advance..is Oscar injured, Zasa?
-
...yes...?
-
π
-
I'm confused by that response! I thought he was fine...if he's not injured no way I would consider transferring him out for a hit.
-
He's practically injured at that price for me π Cheers though, pessimistic sally over here, ignore me π
Ayway, how's your team Walshy? Any news?-
Haha yeah he's been a bit disappointing of late certainly, but that's Oscar he runs so hot and cold. But again, definitely wouldn't get rid for a hit. Team is great! Thanks for asking π
-
It seems to be that way, Eriksen-esque in the sense that he rewards the patient folk. Might have to grease him out
Cheers mate, always great to hear from ya π-
You too bud.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
A
-
Cheers π
-
-
C) They dont worth a hit,
unless Oscar is injured-
Aye, back to reality
Sunday night jitters, sorry folks
-
-
-
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 β‘ Downing
b. Chadli β‘ Eriksen
c. Chadli, Berty β‘ Yaya, 4.0 DEF
d. Chadli, Baines β‘ Yaya, 5.9 DEF (probly Demi)
e. other
Guess I'l wait after tomorrow games-
I like the look of B.
