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.
I bet Kenny is having to really force that smile
Most of it is directly his fault.
He did buy Suarez tbf ?
Precisely.
Suarez nearly won them the league last year. If only Rodgers was even slightly smarter with his back line
Suarez has nearly crucified Liverpool.
That's the most contrary Doosism I've ever seen, methinks.
You can't blame Suarez, who single-handedly dragged them into the champions league for the first time in 5 years, for their failure to cope with his departure. They're no worse than they were before his arrival, surely?Immeasurably.
Liverpool have alienated a huge number of people.
And the team is well and truly fecked.
And they have a crap manager.Liverpool defended the indefensible many times with Suarez due to his talents
Balotelli did something nowhere near as bad (though arguably more stupid) and they want to crucify him
30 goals a season will do that. The victim culture proffered by LFC is startling at times.
I tend to restrict most of my LFC conversations to FFS, about the only place where I can get a balanced view from the likes of Billy, Berbino and RCAExactly so. And even here ...
Yaya + Costa > Silva + RVP (-4)
YES or NO?
no
actually dont know
yep
wait, don't sell yaya
This is what im considering. Or Eriksen instead of Silva
No way
NO
all aboard my captains bandwagon...
no
BCR - nailed, in form, explosive
Definitely not affordable
A B C. None of them is overpriced., Austin and Bony on pens, Costa has good fixtures coming up, Austin a run of home games and Bony is in great form
R), A) & S).
They are my three.

Those are my reasons.As you should be! 😉
A C R
Apologies, A H R
got to think those 3 will produce
kane is ridiculous value for his price
ABC
Kane isn't exactly setting the world alight and may be a rotation risk and RvP is a tad expensive. (Needs more Lukaku though)I owned him before it was cool! 😀
and before his points right?
A - mainly fixtures, I believe he'll pick up his points.
B - decent fixtures too, talented player who will score (+ on pens)
C - I personally still prefer Costa over RVP (may prove me wrong in the coming weeks), but Costa is the main man upfront for Chelsea, a team that will probably score every game.
BCH... because I have it!
A

R
No reasoning necessary.

Evs? 😆
Luis was chosen over Azpil for the game v Hull because Jose says Luis offers more width to the play.
Team for Derby - Best possible team, no reason to rest people. Only player from first team from Hull who will not be there is Cahill. He looks tired and will be rested and zouma plays.
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2chslt_mourinho-game-always-under-control-hd_sporti think there will be younger players involved. And possibly remy
Any wider than azpi and your in the stand
🙂
Clyne > Demi for -4
Yay or nay?
Nay
Got exact cash for Siggy -> Eriksen. Worth it till jan wc?
Sure, if its for free
I would like to know peoples thoughts on why Liverpool have been so poor.
I put it down to Rodgers inability in the transfer market. He has signed 19 players and I would say 14 have been flops.
Only good ones he has signed are:
Sturridge
Coutinho - inconsistent though
Lallana - hasn't had a proper chance yet
Can - shown promise
Moreno - looks promising but has he got the discipline to make it in the premiership
He has signed a lot, a lot, a lot of poor players...
Didn't even sign Suarez, only real success has been Sturridge...Suarez is the main reason
Yeah I agree. They should have spent more and got a world class striker. Balotelli has potential and has shown glimpse that he can be great. However his attitude and mind set let's him down.
He sign quantity, not quality
Today showed a lot about what us bad about them.
Allen is lower premier standard at best.
Henderson is squad player
Sterling has terrible first touch and lacks that special something
Gerrard can't play holding role, SAF would not have been in any doubt about dropping him
Centre halves are crap
Oh and they don't have a real strikerLambert is a good striker but Liverpool need another amazing one.
Siggy --> downing for free?
Sensible rightDid it myself
probably missed the boat, Downing has tough fixture coming
But his form is so good, I can still see him getting results in most of his fixtures bar maybe Chelsea
Who should be the priority
A) Eriksen
B) Downingneither but A
In a draft league - thinking of trading off Yaya to someone. He's great but I have a solid team (and midfield). I'd rather lose him for a good player in return right now than lose him for a while during ACON. Plus, I have 5 great midfielders apart from him and am much weaker when it comes to forwards.
I can probably get Lukaku or Giroud for him - who should I get? Or should I just not do that move?Fabregas owners, are you getting rid of him for Hazard?
I purchased him at 9m so reluctant.Never understood why people are ditching Fabregas. He is Mr. Consistent
I have never owned him.
I took the plunge a couple of weeks back. Still confused about it but let's see how it pans out.
Hoping his usual drop off in the second half of the season starts happening soon.Fabregas' last matches:
2 9 3 3 6 suspendedAnd your point is?
drop off already started
I got rid of him the week before he got that 2pointer.Haha fair enough. Can still pop back in though. Hoping it stays like that for a bit 🙂
I wouldnt, but not an owner
I captained Hazard this GW after swap to that swap... feel with Hazard's explosive he might be worth holding on to now. He is far more (C) material than dependable Fab.
Thanks. It is a tough one.
"his Fantasy returns are purely down to a lack of clinical finishing"
I don't think that's right. I think he's not been in the right positions. That Hazard goal is a prime example: you'd expect your striker to be on the end of that cross, not a winger. Costa was a couple of meters away being marked by two defenders. His movement is what is letting him down.Well, it is more complex than that.
Defenders are now physically checking him, because his overall lack of accuracy has been noted by opposing managers.
So the next time that he is up against a small defence ......next time he's up against a small defence he may get a brace and everyone who has kept him through his 2,6,0,6,6,1 run will justify their faith in their 11m outlay and the rest of us will be fine with similar returns from Bony et al for 3m less.
Or van Persie, in my case. 😉
4m less, then 😉
I do kinda want RVP though...
well how many similar goals did ramsey score last year? was it giroud fault he wasnt there?.
Not sure what the connection is there. Last year Ramsey was a mid price midfielder, Costa is a premium striker. If Costa was a 7m midfielder he'd be the bargain of the season, but he ain't.
Best route into Man City defence? Leaning towards Mangala atm
Mangala is car crash. So reckless
I've got Hart and have made a case for Zabaleta in the last couple of days but Mangala at 0.4 cheaper looks pretty decent value too.
yeah he looks nailed... does have the occasional brain snap though... but he is definitely first choice
I still think Zabaleta. He's had his rest now so he should be fit and ready to go (also Mangala is 1 on 4 yellows I think)
Pick one to play next GW:
A) Dummet (SUN)
B) Yun (WBA)
C) Chambers (liv)
other defenders are Wisdom & Azpi
Thanks
really happy with the look of my team ATM, got nothing in the bank so not sure who to trade Clyne to ps. Would've been on 100 if I played wisdom 🙁
DDG (myhill)
Terry, Clyne, Cissokho (Wisdom, Moore)
Downing, Erik, Oscar, Hazard (Wanyama)
RVP, Bony, Lukaku
Kane or Austin?
Austin
Let Evs back on the ScoutCast before he retires FFS!!!
Subtitles this time though please! 😉
"He Who Must Not Be Named Jonjo"
Haha 😆
Could be time for evscast
Stand in host! Brilliant.
*that feeling when you realize that there are no more people who started in gw2 ahead of you in the OR anymore*
😎That's my one target this year
Current lineup for next week, transfer ideas please
Jakupovic - (Guzan)
Baines - Taylor - Azpi - (Moreno - Duff)
Sanchez - Haz - Downing(c) - Sig - (King)
Teke - Austin - Dzeko
1 FT and 5.5 in the bank.
Dzeko -> RVP?
Dzeko -> Rooney. Sig -> Nasri -4
Others?
Chadli - mata?
Gutted, but looks like Oscar will be on my bench next week.

Stumped for captain choice this week, what are people's early thoughts on armband for next week?
Eriksen or Kane
Austin for me
How Hamilton beat McIlroy to the award is a bit of a joke.
How either of them were even nominated is a joke.
Winning 2 majors and being world number 1 doesn't deserve a nomination?
Golf isn't a sport
Golf isn't a sport
exposure, I needed to Google Mcllroy
evs i'll hire you as my director of football next season. Choose your own hours and i'll pay you in lager or hugs, your call.
Can if have a hybrid 😉 ?
you want beer hugs?
Of the top 3 in SPOTY, not 1 competes in a sport 😯
did Liverpool come in the top 3?
Suggestions on my team with 4.4m in the bank and a FT
Guzan (Mannone)
Dummett Jagielka Wisdom Clyne (Chambers)
Fabregas Sánchez Sigurdsson (Jedinak, Boyd)
Bony Diego Costa Berahino
Should I sub Fab>> Hazard?Berahino > Kane
Jedinak > Silva
No. Berahino to Austin.
Thanks for replying, fairly new to this...
Was wondering if to go through to Hazard but didn't want to double up on chelsea players. Want to get rid of Chambers too as well
Who to transfer in this GW until January WC????
Whoever it is make sure they are nailed for a start, you'll easily run into a problem with getting 11 out...
Lights out.
Night lads !Good night, lovely boy ... 🙂
Night Evs.
Is Costa to RVP for a -4 madness?
no
No..An in form RVP playing alongside Falcao with Rooney behind is a well worthwhile gamble...Not the same as saying Costa is a bad pick but his YC's are killing him...
Yess
