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.
So, now to spend the whole week watching City training sessions, who will perform the best upfront, Milner, Nasri or Silva.
Alright, for once my top of the page post was actually worth it. You should make this a hot topic, mods!
And then see Pozo starting 🙂
He also says:
"and also ask Patrick Vieira if anyone from his development squad can step up."
Could be pretty much anyone I guess, will be interesting to see
Praying it would be Kolarov 😀
Morning,
Liek many i've been burnt by Dzeko and the azpili rest this week! However unlike many i have a terrible score! Any ideas with what to do with the horrible lot after this evening?
Krul / Fabianski
Wisdom / Yun / Baines / Azpili / Alcaraz
Haz / Sanchez / Siggy / Mirallas / Aissaidi
Costa / Austin / Dzeko
1FT 2.2 ITB.
Appreciated,Alcaraz-Demi
Agree on Alcaraz to Demi, would also ship Aissaidi to someone playing
Yes this should be your move after
hmmm def worth considering, although will be really bottom heavy in defence?
Also Dzeko needs fixing i think?I did miss Dzeko all 3 ideally need to go
your first move would be to move Dzeko, maybe to Bony, Lukaku, Benteke or Sakho...
Azpi will be back this weekend and Fabianski alsoAgree need to ship Dzeko really quick, can't decide between Bony or Giroud.
Panti. (krul)
Terry. Bertrand. Baines. (wisdom. naylor.)
Sanchez. Sigurdson. Hazard. Downing. Yaya.
Austin. Kane. (costa).
1FT 0.0itb
I don't like it. Would love to save a free here but have real concerns about benching costa (wish yaya had been booked). And I'm desperate to sell Bertrand who has outstayed his welcome by about a month.
What would you do?
(pos - 8k)Team is fine. Bench Siggy,play Costa
Yep. Done that - sort of knew I would. Costa on the bench is just attention seeking theatre really. What about berty? Play him over wisdom? I've had wisdoms points on the bench 2 weeks running
yep would play Berty over Wisdom. Austin bound to get a goal or two at home (I hope)
this, all good imo
Hmmm RVP and Silva or Rooney and Yaya?
RVP and Silva.
That's a lovely position to be in. Classic old school fantasy!
Don't think I'll spoil it with a pick.
Rooney and Yaya
RVP and silva
First
RVP & Silva. Differentials!
RVP & S
Sorry. bit of a repost as no replies last page:
Foster
Baines/Wisdom/Naylor
Sanchez/Siggy/Hazard/Tadic
Costa/Bony/Austin
Bench: Krul/Yun/Marney/Chambers
1 FT 4.8 ITB
Tadic -> Silva/Nasri/Eriksen for my FT? Think I'll wait until next week to get another premium defender as a few of my cheapies have a good fixture this week.Tadic to yaya for me, i know the 4 yellow card thing. I dont own him and its a worry
silva or nasri
Eriksen short term, City player long-term and I am tempted to go with Nasri, would also leave you with some more cash to upgrade DEF, just not convinced that Yaya is worth the money and then there is that card thingy
Sounds like a plan. I would then spend some cash to upgrade Chambers.
Does anyone know why Janmaat is not flagget? He got his fifth yellow this weekend, didn't he?
Must play in the league cup ?
Ah, Newcastle are still in it, are they? Cheers!
Misses Cup game
Maybe Newcastle playing midweek, against spurs i think
1. What do you think of Yaya? Got him last week, couldn't watch the game and his blank. Is he a still a solid option until the WWC?
2. If Lukaku blanks today, is Lukaku>Giroud a good transfer? Seems to be a lot of threat from Ollie G in the box.
3. Do you rate the Bertie>Zab transfer?
4. Bony is a great FPL asset, and if I were you I wouldn't sell him, regardless of his low shot conversion rate. He's very dangerous, I'd rather have him than Wazza - for example.1) I wouldn't sell, his goal threat is still good, and you must have known he was always more than capable of a blank
2) Giroud is looking good, who are your other strikers? He's possibly the best in the price bracket aside from Bony
3) Yes I do
4) Yes, he's in my team until ACON.My strikers are Costa/Lukaku/Bony
Milner a genuine option? how much is the little scamp?
Eriksen (c). full stop end of story
Don't come crying here when he blanks.
RVP*
I'm tempted
tempting, but the Dane is not the kind of player that gives you multiple hauls in a row, and TOT is not the type of team either, good to have him but captain is too much imo
Would appreciate some thoughts on this lot...
Fabianski
Baines / Bartley / chambers
Downing / Siggy / hazard / Sanchez
Austin / Costa / rooney
Bench: bego / Boyd / duff / Hutton
1FT 2.2m ITB
A) Chambers -> Demi
B) Siggy -> Nasri
What do you reckon, A or B?A, not convinced by Nasri.
A but only coz you don't have Bony
Best cheap keeper to get in right now until Wc
Have Guzan and Manone right nowGiven
Count of monte histro here?
Hve two transfers...what's best option?
A. Boyd > Downing and save a transfer
B. Boyd and Adrian > DDG and Downing
C. Costa > RVP and save other transfer
D. Costa and Adrian > RVP and Hart
(Rival has RVP and costa)A sounds good
Milner @false 9 isn't tempting at all? Doesn't always mean because he's further forward he'll do well. I'd rather just get Sahko or Austin who are more likely to outscore him
Nice 5th mid though if you can afford him.
I suppose. Just too punty for my liking personally
Yeah I'd want to see him play their first at least 😀
Yeah. Getting him in based on quotes would be bonkers
Wastes a mid spot in my eyes. Doesn't appeal to me
This
I'm pretty sure I will go Dzeko to Austin this week, will probably captain him too.
Get Eriksen or Burnley?
Lol. Get Eriksen or Downing?
Still Eriksen due to the fixtures
Erik
Eriksen he will outscore all 11 Burnley
Eriksen til the jan WC due to fixtures maybe
RVP (c) for the next two...and no City...
Maybe Silva is the way to go?
I was all set on Mata -> Silva, but changed my mind.
Play ?
A) Siggy against Hull away
B) Lukaku against Soton awaylukaku
Right, now that I can finally get rid of Chadli, who should I replace him with?
Siggy, Sanchez, Hazard, Boyd, ???
10.4m ITB
Downing seems like the sensible option at the moment as that'll leave me with some decent cash to change my forwards next week. Costa, Welbeck & Bony are my forwards.Downing then upgrade Welbeck
Agreed. Cheers.
I'm in the same boat. I wish I could jump for Downing, but I already have him. His value is nuts.
Best Pellè replacement?
I can't quite stretch to him, but QPR have a very attractive run of home games coming up.. so Austin?
G2G for the upcoming week?
Hart
Azpi Zabaleta Wisdom
Haz Sanchez Yaya Downing
Costa Austin Bony
Thoughts?
is Mata a good option?
I have him, but I wouldn't buy him now.
Yeah, managers seem desperate to keep him on the bench if at all possible. I'm waiting to see whether he can keep his spot.
1 ft this week current squad is
Foster / krul
Taylor/Williams/azpi/wisdom/Bruce
Downing/eriksen/siggy/Sanchez/fab
Costa/rvp/Kane
On a decent run but really need to sort out my defence krul, Taylor, and wisdom I feel all need to go
Who are my best alternatives? Only got 0.1 itbWisdom is a great enabler from a price persepective. He's a sub 4.5 who can actually be relied on to walk away with the odd points haul. I'd keep him just so you can spend the money elsewhere.
krul --> 4.0 mil keeper
taylor --> bartley
wisdom --> clichy
So, are we all getting Milner now based on recent Pellegrino-quotes? 😀
Nah.
(A). Rooney/ Bertrand
Or
(B). RVP/ Bartley (Swansea)B
Done and Done (thank you)... Here's my GW17 linup:
Heaton (Hamer)
Clichy, Dummett, Bartley (Wisdom, Yun)
Yaya, Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Downing
RVP, Costa (Kane)
0.0 in the bank, TV 106.4
A little light at the back, but I can live with that... for now;-)
i need one
1. ERIKSEN
2. DOWNINGeriksen after next week
1
1
rooney-terry/rooney-silva/giroud-yaya ?
Might do Sigurdsson to Milner 😯
Made a rookie mistake - forgot that there were league cup games on this midweek, and did my Chadli to Eriksen transfer last night! Hope he comes through unscathed, or better still gets a nice rest!
