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.
Save FT or Siggy -> Downing?
Save.
my thinking as well sigg has been shite!
Save
Cheers, chaps.
Re-post
Dzeko >> Carroll(C) vs Leicester(H) this GW
&
Carroll >> Giroud(C) vs QPR(H) next GW
Yay or Nay?
Nay wasting transfers
Just Giroud he could score ok v rubbish Liverpool
Yep
nayyyyyyyyy
Just get Giroud - Arsenal looking good going forward.
I like that.
cheers fellas.. you are awesome.. Giroud it is! 🙂

save or any suggestions? Looking to get giroud and Sanchez in next weekSanchez should be already in imo. How you get him in is a real dilemna though. Baines or JT will have to be jettisoned for Naylor or Hutton.
Baines to 5.5 or less
Then Rooney and siggy to Giroud and Sanchez for Qpr at homeOr Rooney and siggy to Sanchez and 7.0 striker?
Thanks lads 🙁
Jeez...Bony, Downing, Kane are annoying blighters. 😡
baines out for zab yes or no
Nay he is rotation risk
No from me. Baines only a little dearer, no rotation threat and on pens.
I want a city def who's not rotated
Hart the safest. Then Demi/Mangala.
Get Hart
Joe Hart
cnt afford hart demi it is then!
No.
at least wait till the game before deciding
Suggestions needed:
A) Bertrand to Kompany
B) Bertrand to Demichelis
C) Bertrand to Zabaleta
D) Save
Kompany is injured.
Demi seems the only nailed on one, so B.
Surely Mangala is nailed on.
4 yc
Doesn't his red reset that
This.
Is Clichy nailed on?
A) looks quite risky for my liking......I would go C, but B should be even more rotation free for christmas time.
baines out for zab yes
No
No
No way
what do you suggest for this team, any help will be appreciated 🙂
Fabianski
Baines Wisdom Yun

A) Yaya, Austin > Downing, RVP (-4)
B) Yaya Austin > Eriksen Rooney (-4)
C) Baines > Azpi/ Demi
D) Costa > RVP
E) Save
any other suggestion
Don't sell Austin!!!!

this is mine, id save... or siggy>downing?sounds good thank you for the advice Dusan
D
What is your problem with Austin? Everyone is trying to get him in this week for his upcoming home games if they don't already own him, and you are trying to get rid! Ditto for Yaya. You gave awful advice yesterday telling someone to do "A) Austin and Yaya > Bony and Eriksen (-4)"
Your team is OK, good even. Don't go ruining it. I'd either save or do Duff>Demi and get Demi in the team. Should be looking to get some Man City defence either way.Your posts suggest you are too fickle for this game. Just because one of your premuium players doesn't get a 10+ haul every week doesn't mean you should get rid. Transfers are valuable, use them wisely
thank you all for your feedback.
Dzeko---->RVP
+
A) Benteke---->Sakho
B) Lukaku-----> Carroll
C) Hazard-----> Mata/Sterling
Cheers 🙂I'd just get Mata, forget RVP.
Boooo 😉
Cheers TTNot for Hazard tho crazy talk
A
whatever u decided, do not ditch hazard
😯 Hazard out
Lukaku can get a haul today...
considered RVP in, Dzeko out but i don’t like what that move does to my team but you probably have a better TV than meDzeko to Bony/Giroud
Cheap mid to Mata
B assuming he doesn't change our minds tonight
Benteke > Carroll
I presume de Gea will never get bonus points if he didn't get any yesterday
that’s the thing with GKs from big teams, at least he gets you save points though, unlike Hart and Courtois
pen save maybe
After reading this article, Sakho (c) is just too risky?
Oh, why oh why did I get him in, now I'm already looking foor exit route after next game 😕Get rid matey.
Play but dont captain this week
Why sakho risky
Transferring out Herrera. Lots of cash.
Sanchez
Yaya
or other
???Sanchez for sure
Sanchez
Yaya
Yaya
Hi DZ
Have a Dzeko sized problem - punished picking him over RVP.
Guzan Elliot
Chambers Clyne Wisdom Saylor Hutton*
Hazard Sanchez Sigurdsson Downing, Marney
Costa Bony Dzeko**
6.0 in the bank, 1 FT
A) Dzeko > RVP, United form with RVP spearheading the attack
B) Dzeko > Carroll, play the immediate fixture
C) Dzeko > Austin, home form given fixtures
D) Dzeko > Giroud, individual form
A or C IMO, depends how you'd use the extra cash if you get Austin.
Yea if I do go Austin, will start beefing up the budget picks in the coming weeks. Not sure if worth a hit, unless Saylor > Terry/Cahill/Zaba.
RVP makes sense.
Personally would go Austin and start making Mareny and STaylor betterThanks. That's the plan of course, if do go Austin. Probably be a slow gradual process over the weeks, don't think it's worth a hit.
Can't believe I'm disappointed with a 78 point GW. Just disappointed compared to key rivals in my ML i guess - primarily because only I picked Dzeko, the rest went RVP/Kane.
RVP
You can make it easy and just go A.
I like to complicate things, so I would probably
go C) Austin and possibly upgrade Siggy to cover City with a mid (Silva/Nasri/YaYa)
Def not B/D, you got Downing + Sanchez so I wouldn't double up on WHAM/Arsenal
btw aren't you glad you didn't bring in Azpi for a hit and took the safe route (Wisdom) this weekCheers Ruberx. Yeah, was always leaning towards keeping Wisdom, but thanks for reminding me amidst the price frenzy.
Got obliterated by my rival who had the exact same team as me + Eriksen & RVP for my Dzeko & Sigurdsson. FML.

Is Moore > Yun worth a hit to cover Clichy or Azpi not playing this week?
RMT
Guzan
Baines, Azpi, Clichy
Sanchez, Hazard, Yaya, Downing
RVP, Bony, Austin
McCarthy, Boyd, Duff, Moore 0FT 0.2m itbCan't see Azpil not playing.
Do Moore > Yun next week then for free if nothing else pressing?
Is Ben Davies nailed on for atleast next two matches? (bur lei)
I would say so
I wouldn't say so
Look at his minutes...
Sure but nailed on means definitely going to start. Like say, John Terry
Was badly out of pos for bonys goal
Prevented a definite goal with a perfectly timed last ditch tackle on bony. Plus he's been praised by a lot of spurs fans in the last couple of matches. Solid defensively
Ok then crack on
Personally I wouldn't buy a spurs defender anyway 😉
I was suggesting him last few days. Rose was dropped weeks ago he is nailed alright but just the Christmas period there is always risk of rotation
Was Rose dropped or was he injured?
Dropped I'm sure
Morning fellas! 2 FT's and trying to figure out how to get best out of them. Missed the Eriksen boat last night to get rid of Siggy but that would have felt a little like chasing the points.
Guzan
Naylor, Dummett, Baines
Siggy, Downing, Sanchez, Hazard
Rooney, Costa, Bony
subs: Gilks, Chester, Cattermole, Hutton -- 2 FT, 1.5 ITB
Chester -> Demichelis a sound move?Good move. Rooney may need to go soon if he keeps playing CM.
Cheers Inssie. I think Rooney will get minutes further forward on the pitch but surely ditching if keeps playing deep.
Eriksen(BUR) captain??
Good option definitely
ill see if he plays midweek first
An option.
I will be going RVP againwe always think they would do great against weaker opposition.. then we all BURN!!
Spurs home form + article above putting me off.
Austin (c)
I remember when sports personality of the year used to be sports review of the year. Those were the days
Can someone ask an open question for a change please? 😕
Like?
What will it take to win FPL this year?
How/what/why, etc, etc.
Getting fed up with the same Downing or Siggy questions.
cpt this week,?
Yes, that is a good one.
Yaya, fwiw.
Nice meta post
As in metacognitive?
Got aguero money burning a hold in my virtual pocket.
But I have a madcap scheme to do ameobi to nasri to give me a ludicrously expensive home and away rotation of oscar / Austin through Xmas schedule. Can be undone with 2ft to give standard 3-4-3 or 3-5-2.
A for for it, yolo
B no you need to pimp up your defence
C do something conventional like upgrade oscar to yaya or ameobi to downing
D it's fine save
Team is
Foster
Azpi, naylor, Hutton, dummett, yun
Sanchez, haz, oscar, Erik, ameobi
Rooney, lukaku, austinC ameobi to downing, then small pimp up of defence?
It's a sensible move but the Austin downing rotation is putting me off. They both have horrendous fixtures and easy fixtures in the same week
B
B
If ADM returns.. would Mata still be nailed on?
Doubt it
they WON more games with out ADM thou.. hope Mata nails down his place and then he would be a great FPL option..
How can they though ADM has been doing pretty well as well
They were extremely lucky
I think United are as bad/good as Liverpool with an exceptional keeper and better strikersThat sentence completely contradicts itself
I think there's an oxymoron or two in there.
lol didn't see that
I meant they played as bad/good as LiverpoolLol I know mate just kidding
don't think so, even though it seems LVG can't have enough left footers in his starting 11
He's playing very well at the moment. But cant see lvg dropping rooney or rvp . So yeah he' s the most likely imo
Have Courtois and Elliott in goal and 1FT - leave, or ship one out?
Depends how long Courtois is out. I'd be tempted to get Hart.
What's the call on Siggy and Benteke guys?
I am somehow confident that Tekkers will pay off
Didn't see the Swansea match but have heard Siggy was badyep, time to ditch, having bony alone will do
wasn't bad at all. was lively and created a lot of chances
This^ Was so close so many times.
Oh. Will check the highlights out soon then
shite all game
i think siggy shld go now. what do u experts think if i do siggy - nasri for free? nasri could outscore siggy until jan wc?
team ftw:
panti
clichy cresswell dummet (wisdom chambers)
haz sanchez eriksen nasri (boydinho)
austin rvp (c) costa
*0 ITB
Thoughts appreciated thanks!I think it's time and Nasri is probably the best pick in this price range
thanks man..altho i would want silva who will definitely be 'in the hole'..0.6mil short!
Nasri looks in good form to me with good fixtures. He is no heavy hitter but neither is diggy
Going to need to play my 5th mid next week. It may be a little uninspiring but how about Boyd to Ameobi? At home to Sunderland there has to be goals doesn't there?
You would expect so. Have chosen Panti as my keeper over Alnwick for save points. 🙂
Isn't that always the way
Ameobi is a good punt/enabler for the next 3 GWs
Could look at Kane tooIf it were Kane it would mean losing Austin as he is suspended probably. Seems kind of a shame as Austin despite suspended does continue to be good. Although it would fix my shortage of players issue
Austin is eligible to play this week.
Any ideas for my 1FT & £1.4itb much appreciated?
Pantilimon
Baines, Clichy, Wisdom
Yaya(vc), Sánchez, Hazard, Downing
Austin(c), Costa, Sakho
(Alnwick, Siggy, Dummett, Hutton)
A) Baines ➡ Azpi (affords me a Sakho upgrade to £8.2m striker)
B) Costa ➡ Bony
C) Save
D) something else?I'd save
C, save
A
Not a fan of Baines with Mirallas in the squad either huh?
Nope - got rid of Baines for Azpi a few weeks back and rank has risen as a result.
Last chance for him tonight. No attack points and he is gone.
C.
C
Bench in order O wise one?
Yep attacker before defender and Hutton is suspended
Yep 🙂
Sweet. Thanks to you both.
I wouldn't be trying to look for a Sakho upgrade.
Save, and then next week look for a nice way to shift Costa. That's what I'm doingCheers big ears 🙂
cpt choices this week?
hey help me!!
my team as:
Heaton(hamer)
cissokho,taylor,dawson,bruce,chambers
sanchez,yaya,hazard,jedinak,chadli
costa austin bony
want to get rid of chadli!!
2ft..any idea??
- RvP
- Austin
- Eriksen
IMO this is the hardest captaincy decision of the season. I've got a lot wrong though, so whatever 😀
YYT seems a pretty obv captain choice for everyone who has invested so much to get him
I he had done something this week I would agree but without I don't think so.
Agree. Is hard to pick him after a blank vs Lei.
Brought in Dzeko for Aguero....Fail!!!
Which one now.....Bony / Sakho or someone else?
8.5 to spend.Bony
Bony.
Bony
someone else. Kane and boost MF?
Austin red-flagged? He's not still suspended is he?
Flag will be removed after QPR play.
Ah of course.. silly me
Will be removed after he plays tonight
