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.
Chaps, a bit unsure who to drop from these four lovelies for next week. All four are in my draft league squad....
A) RVP (ava)
B) Giroud (liv)
C) Austin (WBA)
D) Lukaku (sot)
See how Lukaku plays tomorrow and its between him and Giroud.
If Lukaku blanks tomorrow, drop him.
Lol how are you even thinking about benching RVP
Really between Giroud and Lukaku to be honest.
Probable risers tonight:
Downing-De Gea-Eriksen-Bony-RVP-Heaton-Clichy
Probable fallers:
Sterling-Mane-Rodwell-Baird
Would you spend 3 points to play Naismith tomorrow (UFPL) - or are we assuming its a cameo from the bench at best?
Repost from last page 😀
Foster (qpr)
Baines (sot)/Rangel (hul)/Dummett (SUN)
Sanchez/Hazard/Siggy/Downing
Bony/Costa/Lukaku
Gilks/Marney/Cameron/Hutton
1 FT 3.4 ITB
A) Cameron --> Zab/Demi
B) Save FT
C) Something else
If I was to do A, who would I bench. Would be better to save my FT?C. Siggy to Nasri.
Nasri too inconsistent, Can't ignore my terrible defence.
i am not sure you want double swansea attackers... i would look to shift siggy...
siggy --> eriksen/mata??Giving him one more chance against Hull.
martin place shutdown. Hostages and isis flag confirmed. Keep your fooking jihad rabble out of here psycho morons 🙁
Christ.
I fear this may not end well.
yeah doesn't sound good 🙁
Horrible news. Anyone here live in Sydney?
yeah just up the road from where i am working right now
at the lindt coffee shop on martin placeReally? I thought the surrounding streets were evacuated
they are... i can walk there in about 10 minutes... not that i would right now
Hope everyone is safe in Sydney. Got my friends in Aus. Sad news...
Fooking hate these fantatics.
indeed. So much violence, for what?
Instill fear and grab world attention which in turns brings more money to these outfits.
I don't know much about what's going on, but given what is known about isis (that they are actually financed by US in the same way Al Qaida were in the 80's and continue to be), has anyone considered that this might be a 'false flag' incident to create a climate of fear and win support from Nato-allied countries for an invasion of Syria?
For nothing. Absolutely nothing.
i take it RVP is going to be comfortably the captain poll winner?
No, wouldn't have thought so.
He'll be up there but not one stand out option next week
Another lucky win for United. Still not keen on Rooney or RVP
Their attack isn't lucky
A) Rooney / Zabaletta
B) Van Persie / Wisdom
a
My gut says now is the time to get RVP however fitting him in to my team is far from straight forward, if I could afford to do a straight swap for Costa I would but that price tag is just too high
im saving a transfer this week and will assess next week. may ship costa for him but not this week.
Think I'll do the same I've been taking too many hits lately
Kane looks menacing from corners
Not just from corners, he's been Spurs best player for the last month or so
News update from previous page on Sydney

Hey lovely folks any advice would be appreciated. Climbed up the ranks in GW 8 but haven't moved since!
Forster
Baines, Naylor, Yun
Haz, Cesc, Sanchez, Yaya
Rooney, Kane, Sakho
Subs: Mccarthy, Siggy, CDawson, Moore
1 FT, 0.6 itb
Looking to sort out the defence, not particularly happy with 2 dropped player and my GK. Would u address it this week or am I okay to save? Maybe even something worth doing in the attack?Save.
Thanks PoP
I would just be changing a defender or Sigurdsson. Might be a good time to sort out one of the dropped players before things get hectic again over Christmas.
Thanks. Looking at Chelsea or City so would require 2 transfers. Save and do it next week or any good budget options you recommend?
Bit out of touch on budget defenders I'm afraid! Wisdom has served me well though. But saving and doing something with 2 frees sounds wise next week.
May be the best option. Considering Ben Davies though...
I have your keepers and am about to Forster>Hart. I think you have exactly that right?
0.2 off unfortunately 🙁
I would address the GK - I think there will be a few price rises and Forster fixtures don't look appealing.
So if you have to do a GK transfer, now might be a good time.Can't afford Hart or Courtois this week though, any other appealing options?
DDG? price rise tonight though.
RP from earlier.
Foster - Hamer
Baines - Azpilicueta - Naylor - Saylor - Hutton
Sanchez - Hazard - Eriksen - Sigurdsson - Marney
Rooney - Sakho - Austin
Got 1 FT and 6.8m in the bank.
A. Naylor ➡ Mangala
B. Marney ➡ Yaya
C. Marney ➡ Nasri
D. Marney ➡ Silva
E. Save
F. Other
Thanks. 🙂B or even Siggy to Yaya.
Got Siggy since gw 1. reluctant to lose him.
He's a fantasic enabler at that price.I understand your reluctance, B then.
Cheers.
B looks good
b
B or E
But who would you bench? 😯 Siggy has Hull, the worst team in the league at the moment. Hull have only scored 2 goals in 7 games so I would keep NaylorHmm...good points.
Food for thought. Cheers.
Got 2.6m rattling around and begging to be used. Trying to weed out some of the weaker areas of my team...
Adrian - McCarthy
Azpili - Chambers - Baines - Yun - Clyne
Hazard - Eriksen - Sanchez - Boyd - Siggy
Sakho - Welbeck - Rooney
A) Siggy > Silva / Mata
B) Welbeck > Lukaku / Bony
C) Adrian > Hart/ De Gea
D) Chambers > Clichy/Zab/Komps
E) A combo for -4?
Spurs have been soooooooo lucky this season!
Them and United
Yea, 4 winning goals in the last 10 mins of games
RVP or Costa?
If you currently have neither then RVP.
I currently have Costa, bony and Kane.
...and can afford him
Kane had a great game
MOTM
Yep he got it in the sky game
He looks good
Bargain at 5 millionHe really is but i would still shell out the extra for Austin.
Yep, Spurs best player last few games. Could even captain him next weekend..
If you had a choice Eriksen or Kane ?
Defo. He might even got penalties, when Soldado is off.
Can't recall Eriksen ever take one.
Start Naylor or Yun for next GW?
yin
Yun
Naylor
I did -20 for jokes and my team looks awesome having previously looked average. My new team is:
Pantilimon (Gilks)
Williams Clyne Dummett (O'shea, Hutton)
Yaya (C) Hazard (VC) Downing Sanchez (Di Maria for one week on the bench)
Bony Giroud Kanewoulda:
Clyne> Clichy
O'shea to Davies avoid double-uplooks nice, but weak defence and benching problem with front 8.
How did yaya look today? Worthy of investment?
he was good , walked his dog, took a bath very realaxed
I'm not convinced.
Played yesterday
Looked like his usual languid self had a few pot shots but never looked like scoring
Do we concur that Saints, Pool, Spurs and The Toon will put out close to full strength sides midweek and Chelsea will have their reserves, who will still be class?
No.
Jziz, a typing horse !
I guess we wait and see
Fabregas > Hazard a good move?
Cheers 🙂
Not with an away game coming up which Hazard will use to catch up on some lost sleep.
🙂
yes
Yea, I have both but if I had to pick one it would be Haz
Yes if its for free
Good move for Hazard's explosive nature. If you have pressing concerns elsewhere attend to those first though. Hazard transfer should wait for a home fixture IMO.
Can we get a scout to confirm the YC situation for Mangala?
FPL says 2 yellows and 1 red(which was 2 yellows)
Does he get a ban after 1 more or has he seven that ban already for the red?
If it is counted as 2 yellows then Chambers is on 8 now right?He has 4 yellows
2 in the PL and 2 in the CupHe is on 4 Yellow Cards - he got booked twice in the League Cup (against Sheffield Wednesday and Newcastle).
Ah I see. Nothing to do with the red
Makes sense now 🙂
Gutted to be losing 0.5 on Siggy but eriksen can score away from. Plus by having bony I will stil get all the assists
Is Fabregas, Costa and Hazard too much Chelsea.
Should I sell Fabs?Yeah prob.
I have all 3 as well. Happy for now but if one had to go it would be Fab
no I had that at start and should have stuck by Haz.
Did rooney play in midfield today?
Yeah.
Yep, the reason why I won't get him
Yes
In the double pivotSo RVP by far the best bet?
Yes
Yes CM alongside Fellaini. It will only be for 1 game tho. Back up front against Villa
Unless Falcao or Wilson play up top with RvP
i'd be seeing Falcoa to start possibly.
Yea me too
Yes - and to good effect. Man Utd looked more cohesive with him there - but FPL wise it's more beneficial for RVP than Rooney. However ADM coming back should probably see him more advanced.
ISIS b*st*rds.
1 FT, 4.2 ITB
Heaton / / / Krul
Ivan, Wisdom, Yun / / / Chambers, Moore
Sanchez, Fabregas, Mata, Downing / / / Boyd
Costa / Lukaku / Kane
Three contenders to leave my team are Krul, Moore and Lukaku.
Could be:
Krul -> Hart / DDG (Heaton is looking at some very tough fixtures)
Moore -> Mangala / Demi
Lukaku -> RVP / ?
Or maybe Boyd -> Nasri for City attacking cover?Ben Davies worth a punt at that price?
Possibly, could find himself rotated over Xmas with Rose fit again though.
Definitely. But tell nobody 😉
Could be. Looks like he's first choice now.
Cazorla goal was superb. He looks fired up
A meerkat on speed
Piece of art.
Chambers or Clyne out first?
clyne
Clyne probably. I'm keeping Chambers until the QPR game on Boxing Day - his price is protected until 21st and he should play next weekend if Kos is still injured.
