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.
Why is Yaya a captain option? Because of penalties?
Yes
yes and being a boss
Sadly so.
Because he is playing in a more advanced role now Aguero is injured.
Has he though? Felt like he was playing v deep this weekend.
He might have been at times but he switched around with Lamps and Fernando.
Also I think Fernandihnio will start instead of Lamps this GW pushing Yaya forward as well as only one striker starting as Jovetic and Dzeko are injured.
If he gets an advanced role yes, but this is never known before you have to decide so not for me
Penalties make a difference, not sure I'd be captaining him though.
Thanks for the response guys.
I'm happy owning him, despite his high price. Doubt I will captain unless I see a convincing argument.
The only reason to do it is sheep mentality, and fear of falling behind.
Austin still for me, unless someone can give a real good argument before Saturday, which I would more than welcome!
West Brom one of the best away defenses
Up to 21k with Baines, Yun and Mirallas to play tomorrow, and hopefully add to my 70 points.
Good times.
Luvverly!!! 😀
Ta Doos, am I ahead of you yet? 😉
Nearly! 😉
Gah! A good week for you then, Sir?
No. Truly awful. 🙂
🙁
Playing again next season then?
Nah definitely giving it up.
Nice scoring that kudos
Thanks Spectrum, a good weekend for you too I hope?
Not bad mate back up to 120 form 154 so can't complain 68 with Baines to play
A nice haul from Baines should get you closer to the top 100 then, nice to see a regular still in with a chance of winning the thing!!!
*Looks round to see who is on the boards 🙂
That Eriksen goal was a blow cost me a vital h2h match but hey ho
very nice!
64 points with flukaku and jags to go...
aguero --> RVP (C) paid off. All aboard.
Your link is old it seems
Didn;t get round to ditching Chadli last week after the Aguero and Fab dilemma. Kind of tempted to keep him for another game...but I'm just going to get trolled by a late cameo again right?
Who should I get in for Chadli? Not sure about Downing, with fixtures going south soondowning is in fine form... goal and 5 key passes... and now he is aiming his corners at carroll too
but Arsenal, Chelsea coming up?
I think he'll do well against Ars
West Ham will perform against these two like they did against city. There will be points for Downing.
MOTD2?
In 8min
On after the News.
Who do I need to get rid off first?
Guzan | Myhill
Cahill | Baines | N.Taylor | Wisdom | Dummett
Hazard | Sterling | Sigurdsson | Downing | Marney
Costa | Bony | Austin
1FT and 5.2m ITB
A) Sterling --> Sanchez
B) Sterling + Cahill --> Sanchez + Clichy (-4)Just A looks good
A
Best defender out of this lot chaps? I don't have any City, Arsenal or Chelsea defensive coverage -
Terry, Cahill, Azpi, Mangala, Demichelis, Zabaleta, Gibbs, Debuchy
zabazabahhh
Azpi
Cahill
Clichy potentially? Mangala over Demichelis though.
Sagna had a good game - might play next weekEveryone has gone for someone different 😆
Hey lads! Hope your GWs are going well.
Siggy > Eriksen or save FT?
Cheers in advance.
save
Thanks
Nvm... I'll come back in the DZ...
I'm considering the same. Only thing I'm worried about is losing all the value tied up in Siggy but it may be time to jump on the Eriksen bandwagon with his upcoming fixtures
best use of Ft pls:
1.FT sigur>eriksen (BUR)
2.FT chambo>demichelis (CRY)
*IF 1,id have to bench 1 of these: sanchez liv - haz stk - downing LEI - yaya CRYattack: sakho LEI - dcosta stk - austin WBA
I've seen alot of people ask about trades for Demichelis, but why would you not pay the extra 0.1 and get Mangala instead? More nailed-on and greater goal-threat...
Greater chance of getting sent off - looks really clumsy. And he's in the tightrope
On*
The Demi trade is conditional on Kompany out in most cases
More likely to get red-carded too!
4 YC's and as bad ass a player as Costa...If he makes it to Christmas without another one i'll plait fog...
Evs still around?
Do you prefer a fronthand or backhand?
You'll be getting both if I ever hear you speak of 'your last FPL season' ever again! 😆(grabs popcorn)
Why is everyone going mad for RVP?
He was so close to being dropped.not watching matches, just looking at points scored.
points scored is what matters 😀 but form is there too
playing like he did 2 seasons back and at the WCyeah, nice points.
though I do not quite agree with your assessment. Still not near where he was two years ago. His movement and link up play is still dodgy.
Wlll monitor it - might get him back if he really returns to form, but still doubt him 🙂
Still feel he'll be dropped / rested over xmas. Got to be looking at cheap frontline for xmas I reckon, Austin, ings etc ??
Kun Hangover
I think he has picked up his performances. That said I don't think he's playing well enough for his price imo.
Got to rember that Falcao came on today and LvG has already said Rooney is nailed on too. A lot of money if he gets rested.
Main league rival has Mata and Rooney.
I have Eriksen and Kane 😎
JONNY SUTT
Kane was my first sub but he's not coming on due to only azpili in my 3 man defence not playing. Annoyed cuz I'm 1 point off being top of my ML!! The guy at the top started Kane !
You talking to yourself
For a draft league, I'm thinking of trading Yaya out. Can get Giroud or Lukaku instead. Who would you get? Small chance I could get RvP as well.
Remember, this is likely for the rest of the season.RvP
Gonna be my first attempt as well. In case that doesn't happen?
Which of the other two would you go for?
(Already have Rooney. Sanchez/Costa/Aguero won't happen. Don't see many other options, Bony makes no sense cause ACON.)Forgot to mention, Sanchez is classed as a forward in it haha.
What to do with this lot:
Foster | Krul
Baines | Berty | Chambers | Dummet | Duff
Chadli | Haz | Sánchez | Siggy | King
Bony | Costa | Kane
1 FT, 3.1 ITB?Chadli to Eriksen surely?
King.......to Downing, or at least somebody better than King.
who would you drop this week?
Bertrand or Chadli?Chad
Got exact cash for Lukaku ---> RVP, so would have to do it tonight........right move for this week's FT?
Green
Baines - Azpi - Dummett
Sanchez - Hazard - Downing -Siggy
Costa - Austin - Lukaku
Krul - Boyd - Yun - HuttonI wouldnt, cuz I dont trust in RVP yet
But if you do...
Cahill or Clichy for the foreseeable future?
Currently have Cahill but I want to use my FT to do Sterling --> Sanchez now that I have the funds having got rid of Aguero...Just gonna throw this one out there....
With exception to Smalling, Clark, and Tomkins (who aren't nailed-on), only Caulker, Ivanovic, and Cahill have better minutes per goal attempt in the box than Mangala... 😯
I haven't watched him alot, but has he generally "looked" a threat in recent games?do attempts matter if you never score?
well his career numbers suggest 1 goal every 10 games or so...
Yes, to his opponents limbs.
Tempted to get back on the mata wagon
United got decent run of fixtures through to mid JanuaryWhat's the situation with Di Maria?
ADM won't be out forever......
Bar his open goal and debatable assist, how was RVP today? Thinking of doing Dzeko > RVP ...
Great- looking back to his best !...and it was an assist as he said in his post match interview "He got a touch so he wants the assist"
Quite a bit offside though
Oh yea miles off side, but if the goal is given so is the assist.
Good, looked hungry.
But ye he did good look from the bits I saw
This is how I'm looking for next GW:
Guzan
Azpi Clichy Jenkinson
YYT Hazard Siggy Sanchez
Costa Bony Austin
Krul Wisdom Duff King
Shall I save my transfer? Not interested in housekeeping with the January WC just round the corner.
Azpi and Clichy safe?Not sure they are safe, but any move to lose them would be risky!
Save the transfer do you think?
Yeah
So captain next weekend looks hard, if you have no City like me 😕
RvP
Kane
SanchezRVP
Even City points are hard to predict at this stage.
Yea, i might just stay clear until we have more info
A fit Dzeko looked too good to be true.....shame.
RVP
RVP
Get some City.
Easier said than done 🙂
rvp
Sanchez
If you had Rooney , Would you get rid for RVP with 1ft
No.
doosism 😀 that's a thing now
🙂
Should Sanchez (Liverpool a) be benched instead of hazard ( stoke a) and why this GW????
Madness!
Play both!!What
Neither
That's crazy talkSome players you just don't bench!
My front 8 are
Sanchez Hazard Downing Yaya Eriksen
Kane Bony Sakho
1 has to be benched!!!!!Bony then imo
My current team is:
Forster (need change but can wait)
Hutton, Terry, Baines, Yun, Duff
Sanchez, Downing, Hazard, Siggy, Jones
Costa, Bony, Austin
1FT, 4.5m in bank...
I had a nice plan, to get Yaya for Siggy... (I know that he have 4 YC, but think that he gonna be great because of lack of FWDs in City)... Now I m not so sure in that move now eny more, because of RVP... Is he top priority now? But in that case I can t bring Yaya so easly
What to do? Cheers!So, finally dumped Tadic (had him all season)
Too early for a G2G for next week??
Pantillimon
Baines Clyne Yun
Hazard Sanchez Eriksen Yaya Downing
Austin Bony
Elliott Berahino Trippier BlackettLeague Cup.
Nasri - Sanchez - Siggy - Downing - Hazard
Costa - Austin - Lukaku
Bench Siggy next GW, right?
