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.
Christian Eriksen, I love you.
Man, I thought you're straight 😆
Arvin is a girl mate 😉
haha my bad. Love you arvin 😆
😮
😀
Never return points for me 🙁
🙁 Gotta get him just right 😉 Got him for a hit last week - did jack. Happily repayed my faith this week!
Eriksen (c) this week?
Possibly - more likely to be given to RVP.
Borginho must be leading the draft league by now right... ?
Nah, he's in 3rd. Pushed me down to 4th 👿
Eriksen should have been mine! argh!! 😡 😡
😆Davies traded Ivanovic for Kompany this week. 😆 Before the game, and now it's gonna go through with Kompany injured. 😆
He tried to wiggle out of it though, asking if it should be rejected. 😉
I would love to have Eriksen...I made THE worst round 1 pick. Bloody Daniel Sturridge. My position is pretty impressive considering how much he's done for me, or how much he hasn't.
Did Siggy, Clyne > Eriksen, O'Shea today. Thoughts?
O'shea?
Sunderland defender
oshea might be an option for me due to the timing of his HUL and BUR fixtures. solid moves
Whoever asked me about podcasts, I replied on previous page
i recently started listening to podcasts recently too. so useful to fill dead time 🙂
shame the downloadable Alan Watts series costs like £20 though, i'd love to listen to him for hours during my commute, such a brilliant mind!Mine is mostly football and I don't even pay full attention. Just to occupy my ears haha
😀
Are you from brazil btw, or why the flag?No I just haven't changed grav since the beach soccer world cup competition on this site, ages ago
haha ok. reason i asked is because I am born in sao paulo and figured there was banter-potential there 😀
Anyhow, as you were 🙂
On Yun, any reason to start him irrespective of fixtures? QPR def is so awful, just bench him and play others?
Depends on who is the others? I play him instead of wisdom(qpr)
If others have bad fixtures and he has a good fixture
I had thirteen points last week, from him and Green.
How would u rank the following midfielders?
Siggy downing lampardLampard, Downing, Siggy
Downing, Lampard, Siggy
Downing Siggy Lampard
this
Seconded
Thirded
This, unless Lampard has a more forward role some next week
Dowpard lamy sigging
Haha thanks for all the replies!
Guys, really need your help here!
What to do with Clyne, Azpi & Chadli?
Thanks in advance =)keep Clyne.
Azpi -> JT
Chadli -> Erik/Siggy/DowningAlready have Siggy, Just did Sterling (yes don't ask me why) to Hazard, might take a hit to do Chadli => Eriksen
Play Azpi, Keep Clyne and Sell Chadli asap
Thanks man, I guess I'll keep Clyne for now
True. Get rid of Chadli.
I'll start worrying if Azpi starts in midweek
Who to drop for Haz?
A. Sanchez
B. Yaya
C. Fab
D. Siggy
E. Downing
F. No oneC
should've followed my instinct and did Fab-> Haz for another hit last week 🙁
No one
Fab
C
D. Should've got for C last GW.
see above. What a disaster it proved to be.
D if you can afford easily, C otherwise
I can if I do Costa -> 8.3. too bad Bony is 8.6
C looks better then
Siggy imo..if u can wait on hazard..sell downing instead next gw!
fair shout here, Haz doesn't score away much, downing has hard fixtures after the next
Hmm...something different. Cheers.
Don't ever sell downing.
D ... it's his time to go.
Thanks all for the replies.
C
Thinking I'd be as well off to save the FT this week, whatchu think folks?
Foster Elliot
Baines Clyne Hutton Chambers Yun
Sanchez Yaya Hazard Siggy Downing
Rooney Bony Austin
Nothing itb.
Which defender to consider under 6.2m?
thanksDemichelis imo.
would you get mangala over demi? lol
No need I think, save that .1 😉
4 YC and card magnet
demi
Azpilicueta, Demichelis
Phil Jones
Who is the player that always does well except when you own him?
For me it is Eriksen this season. Lukaku lastCaulker. scored when i sold him.
and boyd. i owned him for 1 gw, did a -4 for yaya, and yaya blanked with boyd scoring 😛just brought him in after he failed in my original team, hoping for some points in his next 2
Eriksen?
yeah
Never own a spurs player this season. Or else it'd be Eriksen.
Naismith.Yaya?? 🙁
I'm not sure one week counts haha
😛
Rooney. He knows I don't support Man U.
Eriksen. Used to give pts last season though :/
No one from last year I guess
Dzeko & giroud. Never got them right in the past
Newcastle defense 🙁
Well... My week..
Heaton (Krul)
Dawson (0), Azpi (0), Taylor (0), Baines, (Duff)
Sterling, Boyd, Downing, Yaya, (Fabregas)
Rooney, Costa (Austin)
3 0'S.. JESUS. Still managed 46 with Baines still to play. Few questions.
1) Why didn't Azpi play?
2) Why hasn't Dawson played the last 2 weeks?
3) what transfer(s) should i do with 1FT and 0.8 ITB?1. Rested
2. No clue
3. Rooney to Bony?Azpi rested I'm guessing.
Dawson dropped, McAuley took his spot.
I'd do Dawson to a good cheap def like O'Shea or Chester. Davies from Spurs only 4.4 too but he could be rotated.
De Gea should've got 3 BAPS...but with 89 points I'm not complaining...a boring 1-1 draw for Everton - QPR would suit me...
baines goal, one of austin yellows reversed so he scores too
i'd take that if baines gets the everton goal (unassisted) and the qpr goal is a lukaku OG 😀
😆
Great week mate. 89 is brill
67(-8) Baines to go hereThanks man! I will get 2 more points with Rangel to come off bench for Dzeko
What to do with this lot lads....
Adrian
Baines. Bartley. Kolarov
Yaya(c). Siggy. Sanchez. Hazard
Austin(v). Benteke. Rvp
McCarthy. Duff. Wisdom. King
.3 itb 1ftI think Siggy time is up..rest looks good..Kolarov is a dangerous punt
I agree with Siggy but AGAIN TV hit. .3 I think
Siggy to Downing. I
Both would be great. They rotate h and a brill
Save, or get a playing keeper.
Um.............
Kolorov to Demichelis?
(spelling!)
demi demi
reliableGot Kola in Fri night ;(
He will start v Palace!!!!!Ok, maybe Siggy to Downing. If not, hold
Oooh I can do this.
Costa & Boyd ➡ Kane & Yaya (C) for -4?Don't see Costa getting owt next week and Kane a goal maybe brace. Yaya is my c
Do it imo352?
Do it... Costa seems not getting bonus ans scoring not more than one goal which Kane is capable as well.
Yep. I'd do it.
Not for -4. Costa to Kane and then Boyd to Yaya next GW?
yaya (c) will smash that -4 this week
No way
I'll think. Cheers all.
Carroll or Sakho for Dzeko?
Carroll
carroll imo..
Valencia will start next game in place of SakhoWhere'd you hear this?
Very predictable. Valencia will not be on bench always.
He will be until Jan.
Carroll
carroll
-sakho going to acon
-bfs in luv with carrollCarroll it is.. cheers all..
Sakho for sure
if baines was fouled in the penalty area and got a penalty, which he then scored, would he get a goal and assist or just a goal?
Just the goal.
only goal
just a goal
Can't assist yourself. Goal only. No assist. Whoever played him into the box from home team should get assist.
Just the goal + 3bps
Costa & Siggy ➡ Giroud & Haz for -4?
Would give me this:
Guzan Elliot
Baines JT Naylor Wisdom Hutton
Sanchez Hazard Yaya Fab Downing
Giroud Austin Sakho
0.3 short to get Bony instead of Giroud...Not very keen on it. Wait one week may be and do it for free later
Yeah, probably the best move. Fixtures are not with them this week.
Strong midfield!
but lousy strikers 😆
Strikers that could get 30+ this week
Let that happen.
Benching nightmare
I plan to play 3-5-2 right until Winter WC.
So ur benching Giroud?????
Can't bench the other two this week!!!
Fab should have gone last week.
Downgrade to cheapie maybe Bolasie and sit on cash til Janplease don't remind me of my bad mistake 🙁 Why, Fab won't play this week?
Away at Stoke. Fancy 0-0 or 1-1
Rather Fab than Costa tbf
Play 2
O'Shea (new)
Wisdom (qpr) (have austin)
Yun (WBA)Well, Oshea and Yen
latter two
not ideal. yun, and flip a coin on the other.
derby could have fireworks, as can any game at qprI'm playing Yun, who for the last spot Wisdom or O'Shea
RVP seems to be killing it at the mo, but with very little convo around peeps bringing him in. Any reason not to bring him in for Dzeko???
Options are;
A.) Dzeko to RVP for -4
B.) Dzeko to Bony
Cheers lads!his price.
for a what does the first transfer involveHe scored one, from a position where he couldn't miss.
Fair points, but a proven superstar in a top side (can we believe in them again?) with reasonable fixtures and 24 points (total) in the last 2 GW's..
Best defender to bring in for 5.4 or less? preferably with a home game this week?
Naylor is away though, howver could easily pick on up v hull
Davies for a few games?
Thanks to everyone in the DZ for some good chats. Time for me to retire to my dormitory though. Catch you here later for Baines' double-hattrick though 😀
Looking forward to it!
Think I might ditch Hazard this week....3 away games in the next 4. Prefer Silva.
Finding a way to bring him in this week 😯
bold move, i condone it, though i won't be doing it myself.
lol
You just watch mate 😉
Nice rank btw. Azpi and Zab, oh my. 😆 🙁Cheers. Don't remind me... 🙁
he will break this away drought soon
That seems a bit too clever for its own good. Ive seen hazard play away games this season where he was simply unlucky, he's not that worse off away. And Silva's points are far from reliable.
Got 5 million in the bank and itching to spend it on a boyd upgrade but this is definitely a case of save a transfer right?
Pantilimon
Baines Terry Dummett
Sanchez Hazard Downing Siggy
Bony Austin Costa
4.0 Yun Wisdom Boyd
5 million in the bank
1 FTYep save for sure.
This has save written all over it Valar 😉
Siggy > Eriksen
Probably save but
Siggy to Yaya
or
Dummet to Zaba
would tempt meThanks all
Help - I feel like my squad is a mess, particularly in the def/mid. I kneejerked RVP last night and am regretting not giving it more thought.
A) Clyne>Zaba (-4)
B) Siggy>Downing (-4)
C) Clyne>Yun / Ameobi> Downing (-8)
D) Save
0FT 1.1 ITB
Foster/Jakupovic
Azpi/Wisdom/Dummett/Clyne/Moore
Fab/Sanchez/Siggy/Boyd/Ameobi
Costa/RVP/BonyAmeobi > Jedinak
Against City and for a -4 hit?
You're top-heavy, and those moves wont really fix that. Id say ditch costa, this week or next. Great cheap options who will outscore him. Then you can proper sort your MF
Thanks - this makes sense. I am thinking I might give Costa one more chance (also saves me a -4 hit). Thinking Kane or Austin.
Got 3 GWs (3 TFs) until the Jan WC....
I'm thinking of doing Baines to Clichy this week, but I will see how he plays against QPR first. How likely is Clichy to keep his place?
rotation
Could anyone help me with my benching dilemma, not sure who should be out?
Silva,downing,eriksen,siggy,haz
Costa,sahko,austinSiggy
siggy, Sakho might now even play
Is sakho hurt
rotation
Ah, ok, thanks
Am I the only one when trying to make a decision, if I get 1 vote for each option, I go with the on with the highest overall rank? 🙂
lol - I don't even look at people's rank. At least those that comment with a reply on my posts(if I'm asking for help). I just value poster's opinions on how sensible I see their opinion, how strong their argument is.
doesn't help though if they just say c haha
* This . But do respect opinions of certain Posters with known credentials.
Usually just go with the opinion that leans towards my favoured moves thoughAye, irrelevant really.
I just look at what people's aims are & how they've achieved them
Generally just thankful people have replied tbhSame here. I'm too lazy to look at people's rank 😆
+77 😆
Bought Azpi and he was benched. Is he still nailed?
Oscar to Silva is a confirmed transfer...have Hazard
Dzeko to whom? should I double up on RVP and Rooney?Don't double up. Get Carroll/Austin/Kane. In that order, I reckon.
A) Hart & Boyd
or
B) DDG & Walters
?B
