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.
Good morning.
Sup with Azpilicueta ~ David Luis?? I got Azpi.., (for now.)
He's had his rest, should feature over most if not all the festive games
There was always the threat of being rotated for the odd game.
*Filipe
An ideas on this lot?
Green Mannone
Baines Clyne Wisdom Hutton PVA
Siggy Yaya Hazard Sanchez Oscar
Kane Austin Bony
1 FT 1.4m left
A) PVA ----> B.Davies (if Rose plays in COC)
B) Siggy -----> Eriksen (benching Oscar this week)
C) Save FT
D) any better suggestionsDouble Spurs is probably 2 many. PVA? Held on to him this long wow. I would get rid of him
Never had a chance to remove him due to other pressing transfers.
Can you see a better option than Davies for 5.7?5.0-6.0 defs worth having are pretty thin on the ground.
I am thinking of get Davies myself once they have cleared Che/Ars back to backI think I'll get him this week and hope that he plays the next two.
Anyway Jan WC is only 4 gw's away
I transfered in Clichy. What do you think about him?
Clichy will get rotated with Kolarov imo.
If Kolarov was still out injured, Clichy would have been a no-brainer.
PVA is propriety, need the whole squad playing imo, so A
*priority
Ideas?
Already spent 2 free transfers this week, wondering how I look heading into the festive period!
I do need to chase some differentials, thanks in advance.
Hart - Eliot
Zaba - Terry - Taylor - Colo - Wisdom
Sanchez - Fabs - Siggy - Downing - Milner
Benteke - RVP - Austin
Thoughts on who to start this week? Obviously Milner over Tekkers if he assumes the number 9 role that will be tried this week in training.Bench Siggy out that lot
Guzan,
Baines, Clyne, Dummett
Hazard, Sanchez, YAYA, Downing
Costa, Bony, Austin,
Krul* Wisdom, Boyd, Moore - 1FT 1.0 ITB
How to use FT
A) Krul to Adrian or Hart - as Guzan has MUN and Krul inj..
B) Clyne to MCI or CHE def?
C) Moore to 5.0?
D) other?
Thanks,Krul to Hart easily
Clyne to Azpi would be my choice
I love weeks like this, Azpi gets rested and some people are selling, most likely for Luis too, this is only going to end one way 😆
Looks like your stirring
Glad someone got it 😉
😆
With both playing and Ivan getting a rest?
You think Azpi will get one, as long as Che. keeps CS, nd Luis playing good?
imo Mou will rest every defender one game... so next out is Ivan/Cahill/Terry.
I agree
I think Cahill and Terry will play all league games
Guess we have to wait and see then huh? 😉
Actually Cahill might as he is being rested in the cup
That is not going to happen, 4 games in 11 days coming up. How old is Terry again? 😕
Cahill is the one more likely to play all games, Terry with his age might be rested but I'm not sure if Mou would want to play Ivan at centre back when he has his first choice pair fit. Ivan has been doing well at right back and there is no reason to change it.
When players like Azpi, who have serious fitness and are young, get rested you know Cahill and Terry will also get a game off. Anyone who tries to convince otherwise is only trying to convince themselves 😆
Will be interesting if che def takes turn to be rested..confusing the public
Panti eliot
Azpi chambers wisdom hutton yun
Fabregas sanchez yaya eriksen siggy
Sakho costa bony
1ft 0.6 itb
Was keen on ben davies? Or just hold?x
So is Dzeko still going down in price tonight even though he's injured??
B)
Been badly burnt in my reluctance to get Hazard, even though Chesea's fixtures are turning sour is he worth getting in at this stage?
Current team is:
Foster Krul
Baines Azpi Reid Wisdom Naylor
Sanchez Yaya Siggy Downing Marney
Costa Austin Bony
Thinking about Costa -> Kane and Marney -> Hazard for a -4
yay or nay?Not for a hit.
Milner an actual option? Cheapie.
Not really.
Nah
Not really, with all the Aguero cash better options out there
I think I would bench any of those players ahead of Hazard to be honest. He is captain material next week as he was this
Reply fail sorry
Check out hazard Away record..but for the lack of captaincy options he have to be in contention
The cool kids are putting the armband on RVP
And the upside of rvp punt is even if he fails the other obvious captain options would not score too big..so its a well calculated option
just looked the defender (azpi, zaba) get rested this week
the defender become always starting in the boxing day with the full fitness?Probably
At least the next game anyway.
Why is Vergini on the watchlist and not O shea? Vergini is more expensive, ha gotten less points and has 4 YC.
Haven't done this for a long time. RMT please
Guzan
Clichy, Baines, Dummett
Yaya, Downing, Hazard, Sanchez
Costa, Bony, Dzeko
Subs: Given, Wisdom, Boyd, Hutton
1FT £0.5m ITB
Going to do Dzeko > Austin this week
Anything else I should be looking at?Your winning hockey medal while making the transfer.
Another 😀
Dzeko to Austin for sure.
Use cash to get in Hart or improve DummetThanks Sab, I could get in Terry/Cahill for Dummett next week
Get
A) Bony
B) GiroudBony
Bony.x
a
Bony
Bony too much Swansea since I have Siggy and Naylor?
bony two weeks ago sure, no Giroud
You mean now you would choose Giroud?
I think the Bony ship might have sailed, he is still a very good option but you won't make up any ground in the top 10k by picking him now. He is also off to AFCON in 4-5 games and has 3 away games in the next 4.
Arsenal has scored a lot recently, so I'm going to double up on them (Sanchez & Giroud) rather than the Swans ( already have Siggy ).
What do you guys think about dropping siggy and costa for hazard and giroud?
Current Team:
Clichy, Baines, Wisdom, Taylor, Hutton
Jedinack, Fab, Sanchez, Toure, Siggy
Costa, Austin, Sakho
1.3 ITB and 2nd place in my league is gaining on my lead with hazard as captainGood players to get in but selling Siggy might come back to haunt you, especially I've you're losing a lot of value on him. He has good fixtures coming that last for ages and there's very few in that price bracket to compete.
Indeed
I think i'd go fab --> haz and downgrade jedinak/wis-tay for funds
Guys, any suggestion as to whether any changes needed for this team ?
Guzan
Baines / Azpi / Yun
Hazard / Sanchez / Yaya / Downing / Siggy
Bony / Austin
(Mccarthy / Lukaku / Wisdom / Saylor)
1 ft & 0.9m itb
Nicely spread with form players. I'd stick it for a week and accrue another FT.
thanx for the advice mate....btw am i wise in playing Siggy over Lukaku?
No.
On paper I'd say so, but Siggy's not been doing it for me over the last month or so and JM personally looking to upgrade for someone heavier. I'd go Lukaku.
there's no good option other than Costa, Rooney & RVP who all are very xpensive for my liking
Lukaku play instead of siggy
but Siggy will be playing against Hull
Azpi> Clichy for sure or> ivan
Lukaku> Carroll for a week?
Bony Azpi> Rooney Davies is a thought if considering fix's for Bony IMO GLam staying away from Rooney as i think ADM is the best mid option from United
wouldn't make any changes
would plan to get giroud/costa sometimegiroud is worth considering...though not too keen on Costa with Haz in there
64 points with Baines to go. I guess I should be quite happy about that.
Have allready made a transfer for next GW. Is there any other pressing concerns worth to fix with a hit? Should I play Jedinak or Boyd over Taylor?
Foster
Clyne - Baines - Clichy - N. Taylor
Sanchez - Hazard - Yaya
Costa - Bony - Austin
Subs: McCarthy, Boyd, Jedinak, Hutton
0.6 ITBgood team good selec no worries
Got 2.6m rattling around and begging to be used. Trying to weed out some of the weaker areas of my team...
A) Siggy > Silva / Mata
B) Welbeck > Lukaku / Bony
C) Adrian > Hart/ De Gea
D) Chambers / Clyne > Clichy/Zab/Komps
E) A combo for -4?
Any preferences?
C for Hart
combo of a and b
take -4!
Cazorla's second goal against Newcastle was good 🙂
Cudicini doesn't agree
Worth taking a -4 hit to transfer Costa to RVP?
I don't think so no - very jerky for me
No
No. RvPs goals can easily fall in someone else's lap. And Costa is a steady point machine. I would love to see him get more hauls, but I'd rather spend the extra money on a premium midfielder.
Ok cheers
Not away to stoke.
Is Chadli being eased back in or totally out of favour?
His numbers were good prior to the injury.
If he is out of favour how about Chadli to Lamps?Not lamps. Maybe when ACON is on if he gets more mins.
4 games being a sub...does not look like eased back to me esp he is only injuried for a few weeks.
Lamps is an interesting option. Downing is the safe one
Seems out of favour. That could be a good move. Risky though
Cool thanks chaps - going to rest my itchy finger and give Chasli more crack in case he starts.
If he is sub again he becomes downing or Lamps.I brought him in for -4. With 2 points in the next 4 GWs, it was a pleasure to ship him out before this GW.
Looks like he is out of favour. Get Downing if you can, Lamps won't play every game
de Gea (Gilks)
Chambers, Azpi, Naylor, Yun, McShane
Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy, Eriksen, Boyd
Austin, Bony, Costa
1FT and 2.6 in the bank.
Anyone I need to desperately get rid of, or am I good to go?Mc Shane to a Man City defender would make sense
Best replacement for Bertrand?? Have. 1 mil ITB
Terry
Those City fixtures....
I have Yaya and Clichy, but I'm itching to bring in a striker as well.Good luck with that
Haha. I probably stick with the three I have. But I think a City player or two will be nice to have during christmas.
Captain Pick
1. Yaya
2. Bony
3. Persie
4. Hazard
5. Anyone ???
if I had him I'd pick RVP
Had Yaya (c) this week, cost me a lot of points... 😀
But I think I will go for him again, he could/should have scored...
Sakho/Downing is tempting, but too risky maybeAustin
Carroll/sakho
SanchezDef RVP out of that lot
3
RvP if you have him. If not, I would go Yaya.
Of the above, Bony.
Other options include Austin and Sanchez.
Think Hazard and Giroud looks better
You're right. I thought hazard and giroud got better looking
How did your week go so far Woe?
Not great here Azpi and wrong (c) has coat me along with
Downing/Erik/Rvp all doing well.Did ok. Defenders came in
81 (-8) not to shabby with Lukaku to come in.
Austin (C) maybe
Probably
Him or Yaya? Tough deciscion.
So Azpi and Fab had their promised rest - with Stoke next are Hazard / Costa now at risk?
Could be, yes... tbh I think anyone could get rested once.
Also Ivan/Cahill/Terry
Yaya the best attacking City option?
He is, to me.
silva/nasri are very tempting too
