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.
Milner as striker?
LOL.
PozoSee below
not assured starter. probably silva in false 9 tbh.
- - - - Silva - - - - -
Nasri - Yaya - Navas
- - Fernando/inho - -
Oh dear
I'm a sucker for this kind of news.....I'm now thinking my draft team needs to do Willian ----> Milner for -4.
Hmmmmm
Guti
Sorry repost. This is my last chance to do it today before rises.
Dzeko to RvP??free? yes.
For free yes straight swap
If you can afford it, then absolutely yes
Yep!
Clyne or Chambers to Clichy?
Kompany >
A) Mangala (nailed on & goal threat from corners but yellow card magnet)
B) Demichelis (nailed on, least attacking threat, cheapest)
C) Zabaleta (rotated with sagna, most attacking returns)
ThanksD) Clichy - most minutes played, bonus magnet
he'll defo get rotated with kolarov now he's back wont he?
Clichys appeal is diminished now that Kolorov is back.
Kolorov will be used in some of the "easier" home games against teams that sit back and try keep it tight as he is more attacking minded
2 mins ago I would have said Mangala, but 4YC's is worrying.
I was thinking of Mangala too but I now see he is one yellow away from a suspension so I think B and C are better options.
I'm in a similar predicament as I've no City cover I'm thinking of one of the following:
a) Azpi > Zabeleta
b) Azpi > Demichelis
c) keep Azpi
ugh, just as I was starting to like Mangala I see that he's on 4YC's.
Decent goal-threat but not worth it on 4YC's.
Zabaleta or nothing as far as I'm concernedhes not a goal threat.
hes a red card threat.
this.
I was looking at him but those 4 ycs
It's Zaba or Demi for mei think i'll go with zaba if anyone. hopefully baines makes a strong case tomorrow though
Is Zaba nailed on though? I'm sure he is but worried about Sagna
Need ideas please!
Guzan - Jakupovic
Baines - Taylor - Azpi - Moreno - Duff
Sanchez - Downing - Sig - Haz - King
Austin - Benteke - Dzeko
1ft and 5.5itb
Dzeko -> RVP?
Dzeko -> Rooney? & Sig -> Nasri? -4Dzeko to RVP
Just that?
I really needa swap out Moreno too..You dont need to get rid of Moreno this week, especially for -4. With Azpi and Baines you only need 1 more defender and Taylor has a nice fixture this week. Hull are muck
Is Eriksen essential? Spurs did not convince me today, prior to his goal I would say that his 5 points were more than he deserved.. Overall I have feeling that spurs are quite bad, but they get their wins somehow. Should I be getting him in?
Have: Lukaku, Costa, Bony
Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Downing
Maybe for Siggy?
Definitely not essential and I'm an Eriksen owner. Two good fixtures to come but he blanked at home to Palace.
Only 3 SIB over last 5 games.
I wouldn't want 2 Swans attackers though and you have BonySwans also have nice 2 fixtures and I can see Siggy getting some points. Honestly I think that Siggy is playing better than Eriksen, he is just not getting it done.
partly his fault, partly because Bony has been a bit wasteful.
Certainly not essential and I'm an Eriksen owner. He could certainly be a good option but I wouldnt go minus points for him. If you could get him for Siggy might be worth it
Gonna through it out there, I'm seriously considering Costa out for Carroll
Only a one week thing that is mate
Perhaps, 3 of Chelsea's next 4 are away and Costa's yellow cards and lack if bonus frustrates me, West Ham however are on a run and i see Carroll bullying every defence he comes up against
Not crazy at all. Costa numbers past 5 weeks not great and Carroll has real competition up front.
Competition that will sour him on. What better way to impress by bullying Chelsea and Arsenal
Carroll is worth a punt!
SOMEONE F*KING HELP !
I have the exact money to do : Siggy + Naylor --> Eriksen + Zaba (-4) , but not keen on the hit .....
So which shall i do first ?
Only one of those 2 is rising tonight so him.
F**cking should have two asterisks. Otherwise it looks like a spelling mistake. Just siggy to eriksen, don't take a hit.
Oh the irony.
This won't help, as I can't decide as to whether Siggy to Eriksen is worth it...Eriksen very inconsistent...(1,1,2, 10, 1, 2, 3, 14), but Siggy is too...at least he always looks part of the action and you know to pretty much drop him away from home.
Gets City defender in, maybe CB. I got zabs in this GW instead of Clichy and got a big fat 0 instead of an 8.Are you keeping zabs ?
Zabs to Clicy? Bad idea?
Yes because Zabs was just rested and therefore won't be rested again anytime soon , while Kolarov will play because he is more attacking and therefore will play against the weak sides.
yes
So Zabs to Kolarov then 😀
Best combination for this GW and why please: (money not an issue)
A) Bony, Sanchez
B) Bony , SIlva
C) Costa , Sanchez
D) Costa , SilvaA or C. Probably A.
Sanchez the clear pickEven though he has Liverpool away?
Lpool away is like Burnley at home now! 😛
Damm right there!
C
does no-one fancy Silva?
Always looks good, doesn't come out on FF.
C, Chelsea likely to score more goals
although Costa has not been involved in many recently.
Not sure about who to start with at the back guys?
Guzan
Cahill | Baines | Dummett
Hazard | Sanchez | Sigurdsson | Downing
Costa | Bony | Austin
Bench: Myhill | Naylor | Wisdom | MarneyRight so Dzeko's a gonner from my team, but the question is, who to bring in?
I'm thinking of either Kane, Sakho or Bony, all 3 are possible. I do have Siggy and 2 Swans forwards might be too many.
Hmmmm not sure. Thoughts?Sakho
He's the one I don't really know much about, haven't watched West Ham in recent weeks, is Carroll a threat to his points?
yes
Bony
Bony first.He'll still score goals.
Austin. Nailed-on goalscorer.Sakho, very good, is he guaranteed nailed on. I like Kane, hard working, might not stay nailed-on and he doesn't score enough goals yet.Agreed, but if Ade off to AFCON and Soldado still trying to tie his laces then yes Kane will get opportunites - nice thrid striker IMO if you need to vary the 3-4-3 to 3-5-2.
Ade doesn't have afcon since togo didn't qualify
RP
Dawson has to go this week right?
West Brom have 2 CS in the 2 games McAuley has been back for. With Hutton banned my options for this week
Baines (sot), Naylor, (hul) Cameron (CHE)
Surely Dawson to a City defender is my best move, and bung Cameron onto the bench?
for sure. Zab's your man
Best defender to get in for 5.6m?
Best midfielder for 9 million?
Clichy
Rotation with kolorov
Given Man C's striker crisis, will YaYa be playing even further forward over the next few games, especially against the lower teams?
I think he stays back just as much.
The sensible thing is to save my FT this week right?
Guzan Given
Baines Terry Naylor Wisdom Yun
Hazard Yaya Sanchez Downing Boyd
Costa Bony AustinVery similar to my team, after my FT this coming week, but a bit better…Hence I say stick!
Yes, cracking team.
Nice team. Save the transfer
Thanks everyone
cheers acqua, jk and marooney. Save or panti indeed. Or there's green. Great fixtures...
I bought Foster 2 or 3 weeks ago. Got 2 CS already.
I have Dawson for weeks
He scores, then gets dropped and 2 CS without him
Thinking to get Pocwhathisname in wc.
I need a little advice, my team is a mess.
Foster Krul
Baines Bertrand Wisdom Hutton Yun
Sanchez Hazard Cesc Sig Boyd
Costa Austin Dzeko
2,1 in the bank
What would you do?
Best defender to get in for 5.2m?
My rival has just bought Mata - is that a good move? Will he not be benched soon when di maria is back?
Best 9.4 mid to go with Haz, Sanchez and Siggy?
A. Silva
B. Downing
C. Eriksen
D. OtherEriksen defo atm
Downing
C
silva
Hmm big mix then!
Sorry if this has been posted, but does anyone have a guess about risers or fallers tonight? Thanks.
downing, eriksen, bony, ddg, heaton, rvp, clichy rising
sterling the only meaningful fall
according to fffRisers:
Eriksen, Downing, Clichy, Bony, RVP. DDG, Heaton
Fallers:
Baird, Sterling, Mane, Rodwell, Adebayor, LallanaThanks for the responses, money is tight but I might have at least until all my players are done tomorrow to figure out transfers.
Regarding Mangala's card situation... he got YC's against EVE(A) and HUL(A), and one vs NEW in the league cup. Against Saints he got a YC and then a RC...
Was his red against Saints a straight red? Or a 2nd yellow? I'm assuming that it was a straight red or else his previous yellow would have been cancelled?Have you ever seen the guy play?
Such a mindless brute, will likely pick up another red card soon...Do you ever make posts where you don't patronize the person asking a question?
Of course I've seen him play, but I don't think he's any more likely to get a red than Cahill was against Hull...Cahill has a cool, calm, head. That was a 1-off. Mangala however...
The red card against Southampton was Mangala's first ever red card.
http://www.whoscored.com/Players/68852/History/Eliaquim-Mangala
Its stupid to compare, but Cahill has 2 in his career, and could very well have gotten one vs Hull.
CB's get sent off sometimes, its the nature of being last man.
You must be the most frequent poster on this site. 243 pages in the last 30 days 😯
yeah, i've been meaning to cut down on that
I thought I posted a lot 😆
The vast majority of my posts are answering questions from others, not asking RMT's and things.
I also find it useful to formulate analytical questions or generic posts as they help me focus my ideas and thinking about stats, players, fixtures, etc.. as well as helping me to remember things better and of course getting feedback. This is my first season and I want to keep the green arrows rolling in 😀I'm sure you will end up doing very well this season!
Thanks, likewise 😉
worth getting demichelis for duff for -4?
depends who your defenders are
Zabaleta in for a hit?
Hart
Ivan Baines Wilson (Vs Chelsea... Who I'd sell)
Eriksen Downing Sanchez hazard Boyd
Costa bony sakho
Cheers guys.I can sell Duff too... For Zabaleta or Demichelis.
Demi probably safer. I see Sagna getting the game on the 26th, 3 games in a week
Kompany out for 4ish weeks?
Out till new year
Pick 3 out of these 5 please for the upcoming GW…?
Baines | Cahill | Naylor | Dummett | WisdomBaines Cahill Wisdom
Re: mourinho rotating players, anyone have an inkling of who he'll bench in the coming weeks? Already have hutton and duff out, so if ivanovic doesn't play I may not have enough defenders...
Ivan is quite unlikely to be dropped.
ivan and terry got rested vs sporting so i think they'll be safe.
i expect cahill to get a rest vs Derby, and azpi to get rested in gw19, but other than that full houseCheers man, i'll focus my attention elsewhere then
Thanks Rick!
Why do you think Azpi will be benched GW19?3 games in 6 days, and Luis has to get games somewhere. I could be wrong of course, but I'll stay away due to the risk, however small.
Fwiw Luis was really poor against Hull, so I'd expect Azpi to play if fit about 95% of the time.
Scholeseque from Rooney in the way he arrived late there
That's what happens when you play DM
Rooney is such a tw@
Didn't even thank Valencia for doing all the work
He did let him have his bonus point.
