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.
Had him from the start. 😎
kane
yup, him and Downing
getting him on WC soon
22nd: Stoke v Chelsea
26th: Chelsea v West Ham
28th: Southampton v Chelsea
3 games in 6 days.
Some FT players will be rested for Chelsea.
Really? I thought same starting XI every game.
I think resting Azpi is just the start...with so many games he will change it round.
Damn, I thought my Chelsea players were nailed on 🙁 better get them out then
😀
that's 7 days.
It's not that bad if you think about it. It's like when Chelsea have a UCL tie, BPL game on the weekend before hand, UCL game midweek and then another BPL game on the following weekend, three games in a week.
Moore > Vergini
For free?
Gives me a full team for the tough period.Full squad*
Yes
Nice 😀
Yes
Cheers Christmas Pirlo 🙂
Panti and Fabianski rotation is luxury.. Luckily Fab got 8 pts since Panti got 10 on my bench. Panti (HUL) over Fab (AVL) this week, right?
Yup, it's what im doing
Sunderland only keep clean sheets in away matches or difficult home matches.
But Villa have a decent record of scoring away, haven't they? If I play Fab I'm sure Villa will score
how much does falcao cost?
10.5
All week tossed up fabianski or panti, ended going with fabs - only 2 pts difference but feel smug having 2 high scoring GK's, its rare for me to get just the one!
Okay - transfers set.
Sanchez---->Cazorla, Carroll----->Giroud.
No way
Why not?
Sanchez to Cazorla? Risky.
Sanchez will by far out score carzola
Totally agreed.
Hi All,
I want to get Austin in (Not till after Arsenal away as his stats away arent great) but do people think a front line of Austin, Costa & Kane is to weak?
No - i think it looks good.
No not if you have a big 5
if Kane was 9 million would you still think it was weak?
True, but its his first decent run in the PL so the question is valid.
Thanks chaps 🙂
A guy here had Bojan-Austin-Sakho and rank something like 15k 😀
That upfront isnt week unless those cheapie stops scoring 🙂Good shout 🙂
Mine is Austin, Kane and Bony - and I really don't think it's too weak atm -> Offers me Baines, Ivan, Yaya, Hazard, while the money is there for eg Sanchez.
Too weak, fam. It's one of Austin/Kane for me dude. get yourself a Dzeko (when fit) / Giroud / Bony type player to round it off.
What are your thoughts on having Sterling over the next few GWs? Very decent fixtures but I guess there may be rotation to factor in...
nah, Liverpool are awful
I'm considering for sure could be a good differential
I was thinking the same thing to be honest. A MF up front with decent fixtures - worth a shot.
until he starts scoring goals, i would prefer downing though
Rooney to Kane
Coleman to Zaba
Tiote to Cazorla
Risky?Nope. All ok.
I'd keep Rooney(NEW)
His position 🙁
How did manage to have Tiote in your team??
😆
On WC, had no Burnley slot left and only Tiote was active player for that position 😛
Any advice much appreciated, worried I don't have Hazard so was thinking maybe Costa=>Kane and Boyd=>Hazard ?
De Gea (Elliot)
Azpilicueta Baines Clichy Betrand (Yun)
Sanchez Fabregas Siggy (Downing Boyd)
Costa Rooney Austin
1FT and 1.8 ITB
Rooney to Kane instead?
Any advice on this team? Thanks!
Fabianski (McCarthy)
Zabaleta jagielka Clyne (wisdom) (duff)
Hazard sanchez Yaya boyd (mahrez)
Costa Austin bony
Forster
Chambers, Azpilicueta, Zabaleta, Duff, Hutton
Hazard, Sanchez, Downing, Sigurdsson, Boyd
Costa, Rooney, Benteke
I'd like a selection of Silva, Kane, Milner or Austin. Unfortunately I have no money in the bank and only 1ft
Siggy and Rooney/Costa out I was thinking
Any ideas?
Austin can wait next week... You could save the ft and do Rooney for Austin and Siggy for Silva next week
Guzan
Azi,Clyne,Baines,
Downing,Silva,Oscar,Eriksen,barkley
Rooney,Giroud
sub:Sakho,Wisdom,Dummett
Good to go?? 3.7 LBH and 0 FTBaines to a City defender?
that thought running in mind for ages..but having a gut feeling baines will score big when ship him out and not for a -4..
Guzan
Zaba // Baines // Clyne
Silva // Sanchez (c) // Hazard (vc) // Downing
Costa // Bony // Kane
Subs: Given // Boyd // Duff // Cresswell
0FT GTG?Yes
Repost here.
What would you do about this lot? Save the FT as I don't think there's an area that needs urgent sorting out?
Maybe I will be looking at Baines > Zaba or Sanchez > Sterling / Eriksen / ADM / Silva.
Need to get Pants man to rotate with Adrian ahead of tough fixtures.
1 FT, 0.2 ITB
Adrian McCarthy
Baines Azpi Chambers Taylor Hutton
Sanchez Yaya Hazard Siggy Downing
Bony Giroud Austin
strong team (cheap bench) vs benching headaches
benching headaches used to be something I would avoid but for me lately it just seems that every week I am badly in need of a strong bench at the moment , luckily Boyd came to the rescue a few times lately ! ( tho have done boyd to silva this week ).
that leaves me silva,sanchez,fabregas with downing and siggy as my 4th/5th mid , costa kane austin upfront and still £3.1m to spend ( azpi clyne baines at the back)
Tempted to run with a strong bench to cover injuries/christmas rotation etc till perhaps the end of january wilcard / aguero comes back etc any others thinking likewise ?At this time of the year I like to have 2 strong bench options. Other times of the year, I go cheap as possible.
With Duff and Marney in my team, I've not had too many benching headaches lately. With the Christmas schedule arriving, you certainly make me think that Duff out could be right - a strong squad will be handy over the coming GWs.
Is Clark from Villa nailed on? He started even with Vlaar back. I like the lad and I think he has goals in him
Anyone.?.
He should play, but Hutton is the better option imo.
Hutton is card magnet and Clark is goal threat. I like the lad. I think he is capable of 15 pter and Hutton just scored for the first time in 3 years or so. Also he easily gets red cards, I had enough of all those red cards this year in my squad
Good points, I have Guzan so I wont double up on Villa defence anyway... Go with your guts and get Clark then? Could pay off!
Yes those are good pts but I am scared of rotation. Vlaar is injury waiting to happen so it is Clark or Hutton, for me. I really prefer Clark but anyone knows why he wasn't playing beginning of the season? He was injured or out of favour? Who played above him?
I'm looking at Clark too
You think we are on to something ?
Not sure, if he stays nailed on he is a good option.
Too much of a risk when Hutton is the same price. When's Senderos back?
Judging by average position, was Scott Sinclair subbed for one of the corner flags?
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/matches/755466/
Also, this talk about Zaba playing false 9, I missed the game but stats seem to disagree.Milner played false 9
OMG how much Kolarov was attacking
What I thought, some rubbish posted on this site too once in a while
Could it mean he did not touch the ball? And therefore got a kind of default position?
Idk 😀
Looking at the game stats, he did indeed not touch the ball. That answers my question from the other page too, I guess - the average position is the average of all the touches a player has over the game.
Also other question not answered by no one
Any chance Alcaraz to start some of this games due to festive rotation ?
Please and thanksI mean Distin is 100 years old, no chance he plays all those games in a row. Stones and Alcaraz in for Jags and Distin this GW or next one imo
I think Jagielka will play all the games. CBs doesn't require rest.
One of Stones/Alcaraz will replace DistinThank you Sarnab
Really tempted to take a hit just to sort out my awful bench. It's bound to get some action on Boxing Day and two days later so could be more like a -2
Playing Wisdom at the moment with Yun, Moore and Obertan on the bench
0.3 ITB
a) Moore ➡ Hutton
b) Obertan ➡ Boyd
c) Leave it. Not worth a hitI have a dilemma for the bench too.. On the other side I am thinking that everyone will be in the same boat so is it worth it ? Aren't those wasted transfers? How much pts that bench is gonna produce even if it plays?
I think a lot will have Boyd / a playing 5th mid. Hutton has good fixtures and he's nailed on for the festive period
Yun - 0 or minus
Obertan & Moore - 0Well this is good arguments. Go with your guts mate
Thanks
Moore > Hutton a decent shout bro
Cheers. Even for a hit? It will just be a relief to get rid of Moore
Well, he'll shirley play so you're looking at only a -2. And Swansea aren't the sort of team who'll smash other teams and Villa haven't looked too shabby this season so I can't see Hutton finishing with 0 or even minus points. But in truth I'd usually avoid hits unless I've got loads of players out or if i think it's a really calculated gamble that'll pay off with the player scoring, etc.
Sky Game.
Sanchez(C) > Costa (C) worth a transfer? worried sanchez could be rested boxing dayThey need pts meaning Sanchez plays IMO
He won't play one of the next two. Remember Wenger did Ozil in last year by playing him too much. Sanchez is headed the same way.
He "should not" play 2/2, but the lack of options (see below) means he could.
Worrying times again at the Emirates...will they ever have an empty injury list ?
Lol, no way.. I would be happy with only 5 injuries...
Alexis could get rested, but the lack of options in Arsenal says he wont... its too soon for Walcott to play, and Wenger just seems to hate Podolski... It´s a big risk playing Alexis 26th and 28th tho, so I hope he will get rested (even as a owner)
Its a difficult one - I think he needs a rest but not sure he when he will get it!
Only 2 options really. Walcott is not fit to start.
So no1. Podolski plays instead of Alexis
No2. Couquelin plays as CM and Ox plays instead of Alexis.Cheers Mr Blue
Keep captain on sanchez home to qpr surely, rather than use a transfer
Just worried about him getting rested Zan
switching my captain from austin (all week ) to sanchez (saturday ) was an epic fail !!
I was on Downing 🙁
ouch
I try to avoid my team on saturday, always backfire. Did Maria to Hazard few weeks back which didnt worked. Did Benteke to Carroll last week, it went wrong too 😐
How would ADM to hazard a few weeks back not have worked? ADM got injured and Hazard produced some hauls at home.
Best Sunderland defender to bring in? (Not pants, defender please)
Vergini or O'Shea
Vergini or Oshea IMO. YC means Vergini is the better one imo. But this time of the year it is a lottery with all that rotation
On the other hand OShea injury record scares me. How long he will be fit? What do you thinkCheers
I am thinking my bench will be well tested over the next 2 GWs - have 3.1m ITB and wondering if any defender is worth a -4 for the next 2 GWs would be Moore --> xxx (currently have Azpi Clyne Baines )
Really difficult dilemma. It could be, but with the WC so close is -4 really worth it?
Tbh I dont thik Azpi, Baines or Clyne will get rested... But I guess Azpi could get another game on the bench... dont think its worth -4 tho, could backfire if the player u bring in get rested 😀
Exact money for Rooney, Moore -> Giroud, Zabaleta (-4).
Yay or Nay?nay
Fecking yeah. What is your rank ?
6k
Only thing holding me back is my Siggy yellow flag.
Could work...
3 or 4 more GW's till the WC available ?
3
3 I think
A.) 51 points + Willian and Cahill to play
Or
B.) 50 points + Cesc and Azpi to play
???B
Bench Chambers or Clyne this GW?
Play both if possible. But don't worry the rotation will solve that dilemma for u
It's got to be just one, as I want to play Azpi and Zaba. But you're right one of those two could be rotated!
Cheers
1) Foster to Panti as FT
2) Alcaraz to Oshea/ Vergini/ Clark
3) Save the transfer
And if possible why? The team as in below with no defenders on the bench
Foster
Baines Ivan Azpi
Hazard Alexis YYT Downing
Austin Kane RVP
bench> Boydinho, Alcaraz, Yun
0,8 ITB
Thanks lads
9 years, 6 months agoPantilimon is one of the best value for money bargains going at the moment
