QPR’s home hitman hogs the array of impressive numbers on show from the weekend, ably assisted by stellar showings from Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen. Elsewhere in our regular members’ statistical digest, we examine how Man City’s tactical tweaks influenced two of their key midfielders and analyse how a pair of returning United assets are hinting at major hauls as their minutes begin to build.
Tough one champ. Its how you bounce back that counts
Hart
Baines Naylor Hutton
Sanchez Yaya Hazard Siggy
Giroud (C) Austin Kane
4.0 Downing Wisdom Dummett
4.1 ITB / 0 FT
Anything worth a hit?
Nope
Dont think so... Maybe Giroud to Rooney 😉
😉
nope
Looks good
Nope
nice team davies. nothing worth a hit. assuming Giroud came in? My transfer target as well, with the C.
Im getting cazorla this week and may even captain him. And im going to rotate him home and away with austin. Seems expensive for a rotation but no point having 5m in the bank and i still need to upgrade both rooney and lukaku to cheaper options
Rotating cazorla is crazy if you ask me
I could get bolassie instead who also rates well with austin but i dont think that will improve my score.
Downing, kane etc who would be the perfect rotators have all the same home fixtures as qpr
Cazorla is a good buy
Could be great. Good luck!
How does this looks?
Heaton
Baines Clyne Terry
Sanchez Yaya Cazorla Sigurdsson Downing
Rooney Austin
Bench: Carroll Hutton Duff
Heaton to Pantilimon for -4pts?😳 First RF 😥
He is on 4 YCs .. consider that too
When does that get extended? Only 2 more games isnt it?
I will have him this week then can happily bench him for the next 2 taking us clear of the danger zone
Any advice on this? 1FT - 0.4 itb.
Guzan
Clyne - Azpilicueta - Jagielka
Hazard - Sanchez - Downing - Siggy
Costa - RvP - Austin
Gilks -- Marney - Dummett - Kellyremove Siggy would be my advice
Save this week
Next week jag + siggy out unless something comes up. Which it willNeed 14 (if you're confident with your keeper) all playing ahead of Xmas rotation. You're good, pending Siggy news.
Ben Davis or Danny Rose?
Morning all
Who would be the pick of the bunch for budget defenders i.e. 4.5 or under, until the Jan WC?
Currently have Bruce, Wisdom and Vlaar, looking to move Bruce if it looks like Siggy will be fit.Thinking someone like O'Shea atm
he is a good option
He has 4 yellows, maybe opt for Vergini instead.
Didn't realise that, good idea
Liverpool has most decent fixtures till then
Playing 4-3-3 next week 😯
Hart
Baines Zabaleta Azpilicueta Naylor
Sanchez Hazard Silva
Costa Austin Bony
Downing Boyd YunLooks good! Heavy Duty Defence
nice defence!
Not afraid Downing may do something at Stamford Bridge?
Not really. Chances are someone gets rested and he comes in anyway though.
Thanks for letting me know Innsie. 😉
Letting you know what?
I'm playing you in LAWRL 7 gwk 18. 🙂
Oh haha, I don't let H2H matches influence my team selection so I'm not bothered about that 😉
How's your team looking?Not as good as yours I'm afraid.
Good 😉
I have the same defense as you, but I have Siggy instead of Silva. Haha, still wondering whether to 4-3-3 or 3-4-3.
I made the Siggy > Silva transfer yesterday 🙂
Was thinking the same. But this is only Monday...
Btw, great team Innsie!
Sorry for re- post
Who will score more over the next 5 - Hazard / Silva ?
Need to bring one of the two these week or is it worth a hit to get both?I have both but think Silva will score more
Haz
Suggestions please...
Pantilimon (Guzan)
Clyne Zabaleta Azpilicueta Naylor (Wisdom)
Sanchez Silva Fabregas (Downing Siggy)
Austin Bony Costa
0FT 0.5 ITBSave your transfer - looks decent
Stick, also play 3-4-3 with Siggy starting and have Naylor as the first sub incase he (siggy) doesn't start
Nothing worth a hit. Start siggy over clyne
Thanks guys!
Draft league semi final squad gwk 18. Good to go?...
Pantilimon
Debuchy/Naylor/Mangala
Lampard/Barkley/AJ/Lamela
Giroud (c)/RVP/Lukaku
Bench: Walcott/Austin/Bertrand/Tadic/Caulker
Any advice lads!!!
Guzan (McCarthy)
Zaba / Azpi / Jags ( Moore / Duff )
Haz / Sanchez / Siggy / Downer (Boyd)
Costa / Bony / Austin
1 FT, 4.2 ITB
1) upgrade my defence duff/ moore
2) replace boyd with 8.5 mid to cover rotation
3) retain boyd ...siggy out
4) any other better idea ..please 🙂Get rid of Jags.
duff/moore out before siggy or even jags
I m itching to kick him out but every gameweek i have other pressing issues... 😛
This Jags nd Howwy cost me gud points.... :\
Siggy > Silva?
actually right now thinking boyd to sterling and duff >> 4.3
Boyd > Sterling is a good shout...duff > 4.3 not worth a hit imo
Do siggy > silva and have less headache from benching problems
duff > vergini/reid
Out of the Paddy Cup...Not owning Austin Cost me..
I think im out to. Having 8 of my players score 12 pts between them has cost me
How does this looks? 🙂
Heaton
Baines Clyne Terry
Sanchez Yaya Cazorla Sigurdsson Downing
Rooney Austin
Bench: Carroll Hutton Duff
Heaton to Pantilimon for -4pts?
not for a hit
Can pay off in next 2, no?
Possibly, but hits for keepers doesn't sit well with me and reckon the trade up your sleeve will be more beneficial
Having Carroll and Downing must be a bit of a headache? I'd save the transfer as Heaton might pick up save points and/or a cleanie. You never know.
Brought in Carroll last week, will bench this week and start from next onwards 🙂
Heaton's fixture and Pantilimon's fixture are exactly opposite fixture wise, so thought those pts can be easily recovered
hit not worth it. maybe if u want... take a hit for baines to zaba...
Baines to Zaba for hit will badly backfire 😀
Not worth a hit. Who you going to captain?
Santa 😎
Thoughts on this?
Foster
Cahill Baines Hutton
Hazard Sanchez Downing Eriksen
Costa Rooney Austin
Hamer Boyd Wisdom Yun
0.1 ITB and 1 FTLooks pretty decent as is
Guzan
Azpi Clichy Jenkinson
Sanchez YYT Hazard Siggy
Bony Costa Austin
Krul Wisdom King Duff
0.1 ITB, 2 FT's.
Literally clueless on what to do this GW. Anyone know Siggys situation?
Would appreicate some input! CheersSiggy looks like being out. maybe Eriksen?
Would mean making another transfer, who would you suggest?
I'm toying going YYT> Silva, frees up a lot of cash...
De Gea (Alnwick)
Azpi / Baines / Wisdom / Chambers / Yun
Haz / Sanchez / Downing / Yaya / Wanyama
Bony/ Costa / Austin
Tempted to go Yaya > Silva and upgrade Chambers/Yun to Zabaletta/Clichy
Thoughts? Thanks
I have thought the same but swapping 2 City players with Silva being more injury prone would be a gamble. I thought Siggy/Silva Rooney/ Giroud
cresswell and carroll > o'shea and benteke for a hit?
y changing carroll?
No stick
I know Whm have Che next but, have you seen their sched afterwards?
I understand your want of Benteke but, not at the expense of those two.
Giroud or Cazorla?
giroud
cazorla
Gee-roo
Cazorla
caz 4 yc
Horrible, horrible week. No bad luck, just my decisions.
Team is like.
Adrian,
Baines, Azpi, Hutton,
Downing, Hazard, Eriksen, Sanchéz,
RVP, Austin, Lukaku.
Do Lukaku ➡ Giroud, or save?Save as Lukaku has a decent fixture. I think you will do better this week looking at your team. 🙂
Save imo
do it if not for a hit... Ars vs qpr could be a goal fest
Same..my decisions cost me
and I swappes armband from austin to sanchez literally at the last minute....
And I swapped from sanchez to costa last minute
Cue costa red card
Lukaku is more donkey than Giroud. Get giroud and captain him
whole of the everton looks like playing donkeys rite now.....
Bad decisions hurts more than bad luck i find
Id go for it. Seize the initiative and lukaku is a disaster, i have him tooThis!!!
Time for Costa to reassert himself as the 2nd best striker in the league. Hat trick tonight.
Here here
"Hear, hear" is an expression used as a short, repeated form of 'hear him, hear him'...
It represents a listener's agreement with the point being made by a speaker.

Hear hear.Looked this up the other day...
Figured something good could come of my Wikipedia time wasting.
I'm for this
sunderland defender for dummet/wisdom/hutton?? Can anyone help me with the fixtures of these teams?
When does the yellow card limit get extended? Just 2 more matches to survive?
Yes, 31st Dec I think.
If a player accumulates five cautions between the opening day of the playing season and 31 December in the same season, he will be suspended automatically for one match.
If a player accumulates ten cautions between the opening day of the playing season and the second Sunday of April in the same season, he will be suspended automatically for two matches.

best cheap defender (4.3M) for next 4 GW???
I went with Hutton
Hutton has decentish fixtures
oshea for next 2games
AVL has the best run up to the Jan WC.
Hutton
Mutton

I'm doing an awful lot better this season when I haven't been able to follow players' price rises/falls.
When the price change websites weren't working at the start I thought it would be disastrous.
But now I think maybe it's better not to know.
Been able to make transfers (mostly) on fixtures and form rather than maximising team value.
Anyone else feel the same?I agree. I'm pretty happy with my rank even though my TV (104.0) is actually pretty low compared to most.
Well I think the consensus has same feeling.
Ha ha Mr s
this. my team value is pretty pox but my rank has flown up in recent weeks when I haven't tried to build value
Feels crazy given his current form, but are these reasonable arguments for getting rid of Downing?
1) I have Carroll and Downing and would rather not play either this week for che, and then they have ARS the week after which isn't great.
2) None of the strikers I'm looking at (Austin, Tekkers etc) for the run in to the Jan WC have a decent fixture this week, which puts me off trading Carroll out this week
3) I plan to WC as early as possible (since I still have the other WC) and WHU have horrible fixtures, so I'll probably be getting rid of at least 1 (probably both) of Downing and Carroll anyway.
Front 8 is:
Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Downing, Siggy
Costa, Carroll, Kaneyeah that's madness foe me mate. Arsenal can't defend so I wouldn't count that in as a poor fixture. As you mentioned... his form in general is just too good.
Makes sense if you're not going to play him next two gameweeks and then play winter Wildcard very early jan. Know you have another Wildcard (don't know how you managed that!) but unless your team is a mess, you may want to delay pulling the trigger as there are players returning from injury, ACON, ac, transfer window etc
Cheers. Are there many big players returning from injury though? The only ones that spring to mind are Aguero, Walcott and maybe Ramsey, and we should have enough info by 10 Jan to make a decision on them I think.
Fixtures also swing for a few teams in GW21 (e.g. ARS & MUN get good, MCY & WHU get poor)
I'm not convinced.
Downing and Carroll are both bang on form.
West Ham have won their last 3 home games and have beaten Liverpool and Man City at Home this season - ie so Arsenal wont scare them.
After Arsenal they have WBA and HULL at home in the next three.
Are you sure you dont have a more pressing transfer issue??Fair points AB - this is my squad right now. No major issues so think I'm between these:
A) Yun -> Zaba
B) Downing -> Silva/Sterling
C) Save
Whatcha think? High on my wish list over the next 2 weeks are Sterling, Silva & Austin.
Hart
Terry, Chambers, Hutton
Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Siggy
Costa, Kane, Carroll
Elliot, Downing, Wisdom, Yun
Bank 4.4m, 1 freebieNice team. If it was me, Id probably wait for news on Siggy. If he is available I'd save the transfer and then look at Siggy --> Silva/Sterling next week. That would leave you a free trade to deal with any injury / suspension.
Cheers. I think that's definitely the sensible route.
I have a feeling Sterling and Silva will both do very well over the next 3 weeks though. so I am tempted with this plan (assuming Siggy is fit this week):
GW18: Downing -> Sterling (bench Carroll)
GW19: Siggy & Carroll -> Silva & Austin [4 points]
GW20: Either Chambers -> Kolarov or Eriksen -> Nasri (a 1 week punt before I WC)Yeah, I like the look of Silva and Sterling too. Good luck with that plan. I'm still not sure that Downing and Carroll deserve the chop - but Im a Hammers fan so my view is probably biased!
i am benching Sakho and playing Siggy 🙁
What website do you all normally use to check out the fixtures that are non premier league? I use BBC most of the time and the trouble is you need to select the teams individually.
WhoScored.
Sign-in & they default to your specific time zone.i directly go to the club official website
Can someone please explain the price protection concept? For example, why is Austin protected now? Thanks.
Flag removed
Austin? Flag? wtf?
oh now I got, so old news that didn't even remember it 🙂
So what? Why does that protect him?
Does anyone feel that with Agbonlahor suspended, Tekker will do well being the lone striker now
Who will create chances from him though?
Delph,
i personally find that Agbon makes things difficult for Tekker...*for 😯
I don't think it impact him that much. Agbonlahor floats around and doesn't sit too centrally
Benteke always does well it'll have little to no effect.
Hart
Ivanovic - Dumment - Bertrand (Wisdom)
Sterling - Hazard - Siggy - Yaya (Bentaleb)
Austin - Bony - Costa
Should I upgrade Yaya/Silva?wait for siggy news
Okay. Thanks 🙂
Meh, if that's your team, I'd probably just bank the FT.
Phew. Thinking for a hit. Neway, thanks. I'll wait for Siggy news.
9 years, 5 months agowhat a gw. Captained bony's cameo and benched skrtel and debuchey for rafael and mcauley in draft league 😆
