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.
Siggy due another fall in price tonight?
Not even close
1FT
Baines --> Debuchy ? Allows £2.7ITB to upgrade a mid next week then
Save 2ft and can always pull the trigger next week.
Baines has higher ceiling
Will mirallas play and will bony play?
Play what?
Spin the bottle
If bony will get rested I'll swap for giroud
the fool
Bony for sure, Mirallas likely
Who's price is rising tonight?
Kane
Kane
Should I -
Yun >>>> Hutton
Coleman >>> Zab
My back line
Hart
Coleman Azpi Reid Yun SaylorOr both -4
Or OShea and Zab -4
Decent backline already. I'd be tempted to save the transfer.
Just worried about rotation for Azpi and only Yun Saylor and Reid all have tough fixtures
Only Kane rising tonight.
What about fallers?Mutch
and fallers?
Can't access the rules on my phone, so can someone tell me the WC window dates kindly?
After the start of GW20 (ie. for GW21 on the 10th Jan) up til the deadline for GW24 on the 7th Feb
Need to get rid of Moore but if I did it this week I wouldn't play whoever I bought. So do it anyway so I have cover for any no shows, or save the trannie?
What's your budget. I have similar , but 4.2 mill is meh without Yun so considering just changing my Krul
4.8 Ben Davies?
Having a free transfer to get rid of an injured/rested big hitter could be far more useful than Alan Hutton or Wisdom coming off the bench
Same dilemma. Leaning towards saving and then bringing in Hutton or Clark for Moore unless something else piques my interest
May as well save and do it Boxing Day
I'd save the transfer unless price rises/falls would incapacitate you.
Although it depends how much i trust my conviction. I've often planned to do something boring the following GW, like fix my bench, but having 2 FTs to use means some other transfers will then look much more appealing and you won't get rid of Moore at all!Think I'll stick. Cheers all,Moore may even get rotated in 😉
Best 5.3 or under Mid? (all nailed)
1.Ki
2.jedinak
3.ameobi2, if only b/c he's on PK duties. Ki has played all games, so more likely to be rested. Ameobi ... meh
walters .
yep forgot about walter, good mention.
Any changes?
Hart
Azpilicueta, Clichy, Jagielka(bavies)
Siggy, Sanchez, hazard, downing, Mirallas
Bony, Austin, Costa
With West Ham away to Chelsea, should we expect a repeat of last season's 19th century football style?
Hahahaha I remember when Mourinho said that, I almost died of laughter 😀
WHU is a different team, but I could see a little bus parking
Any word on Sigurdsson from Monk, or are we still clueless?
And also, after returning back to my usually way of picking an unsuccessful captain who do I opt for on Boxing Day?Sanchez is this weeks Austin
No and Sanchez he might be rested
So could many players. We do have vice captains too... If he's really got chronic fatigue as diagnosed by FFS
He was only rested last week ffs, bloody foreigners and their Winter breaks!
I was taking the p*ss when you said you usually get a captain fail so I posted the name of the player who everyone thinks will be rested 🙂 I was only trying to have a joke with you tbh . I agree with Flapjack its possible but nobody knows its up to Wenger
I was joking too by the way, but may still go for Alexis.
RVP again perhaps lol
Lol he only scores when I don't captain him 🙁
Hazard.
As a matter on interest , what device are you lads using to view this website ? Im on PC and i dont scroll through the pages like some of you , I just use the little chat bar thing at the side and whatever commet interests me , I click it 🙂
iPad mini 2
Me iphone. I just go to the latest page and blast away.
A potato
laptop
If only Sakho/Austin rotated nicely.
They do apart from next week but I fancy Austin v Arsenal
Austin has eleven goals and we're not half way through the season. I wouldn't rotate him.
Is there an optimum time for me to play my Jan WC considering I own Bony, Yaya and Yun? Or should I just take a few hits?
You gotta just play it by ear tbh, I'd prefer a minus 4 than an early wildcard. Still got my season long wc
Same here. Feels like it's wasting away though.
whats happens if my captain and vice dont play :')
U get nothing doubled. (VC) should always be as nailed as they come...
Since postponements screwed me last year my VC is always from a different match than my C.
Nice little tip IMO.
Liverpool coverage from here.
Discuss.
Fawning and sychophantic, generally.
Stay well clear of defence, sterling is an option, stay clear of the others IMO.
Coutinho?
Not for me, is wasteful.
Staying away.
Sterling is on my watchlist - but thats it at this stage.
Get a defender maybe.
Badger, Can't seem to see a decent move and I've got 2 ft's. 1.5m itb
Anything you suggest?
Foster
Naylor Baines Clyne
Eriksen Siggy Yaya Fab Hazard.
Bony Ings or Austin.
Krul Wisdom Jenkinson Ing/Aust
Getting a replacement for Krul is my plan atm.Toughie. Maybe Jenks out to Zab?
Cheers, Sound move but... with the risk of rotation Zab just doesn't strike me as a safe bet.
Is Siggy to Cazorla affordable?
Yes, as is Nasri.
Both have been tempting.
If Siggy is fit I'd be happy holding but Carzola is looking back to his best.If Siggy is still a doubt by the weekend id definitely get Cazorla. You have Yaya for City cover and no Arsenal cover. Bringing in Caz before QPR looks your best bet. Maybe even captaining him
Yeah, thanks A(rchie), your right, I need Cazorla much more than Nasri.
Would you do Siggy to Caz anyway, I'm not losing value as I sold him a month or so ago and bought back at 6.8m.
I'll lose Bony shortly so was quite keen to keep him.
foster to hart
Can't afford. I'd use Krul at the same price anyway.
Foster 4.6m but I only get 4.5m for him, so .1m short.
if i were u, i would then replace ings or siggy (because u got bony already).
i too have 2ft and still have no idea what yet to doCheers, got a few more days to chew over that move.
Who would you rather have this GW:
Giroud or Cazorla?
Giroud personally... reckon he'll score another brace...
Might captain him too...
giroud without a doubt
Giroud; and it's not close
Will Austin or silva rise tonight?
nope
Hello hello hello 🙂
Would like to get an opinion please.
Foster - Krul
Zaba - Clyne - Naylor - Hutton - Yun
Hazard - Yaya - Siggy - Eriksen - Downing
Costa - Bony - Austin
A) Costa ---> Benteke
B) Siggy ---> To someone
C) Costa ---> Giroud
D) Save FTWait and see how tomorrow goes.
Sound advice, cheers.
If u decide u wanna get rid of costa for either of them two, then I own them both but prefer benteke for his nailed on ness, pens and fixtures. I wouldn't get rid of siggy at all unless ruled out for a spell....
Didn't know Benteke was on Pens. Great news! Thanks dude. Yeah I'm apprehensive about getting rid of Siggy as I had him since the start.
how come that people doubt Baines, who scored similar to Ivanovic (actually slightly better)?
Both played same amount of minutes and surely Everton will start keeping clean sheets at some stage?
he has way more points than Zabaleta, who seems to be rested every now and then.
Baines is only trailing a SOU duo.He's had a bad patch so people are on the anti wagon. He will 100% come good again though, for me he stays.
same here.
I have Hart, Azpi, Baines.
thinking about upgrading one of Chambers/ Dummer / Wisdom to either Terry or Zab.Its about owning him or any other player at that right time though. Those who ditched done the right thing. Once he starts firing in we will jump on.
But if he fires 15 points next game or whichever game, ure already too late. Better to be ahead of the curve. Yes if you took him out 6 weeks ago and brought him back now then that would have been great but u couldn't predict that. It's not worth the transfers in and out. For me he's always got the most potential out of any defender.
Any guesses as to who will be rested on Boxing Day?
van Persie?
Sánchez?Falcao . not rvp
You reckon? Wilson will probably start over one of the two, can see Mata on the bench with Di María in his place.
rooney
wilsonn...rvp
boxing dayand then for spurs game :
mata
rooney....falcaoDepends on how Newcastle goes really, if we can get van Persie off around 60 again he might start again against Spurs.
+1
I'm not saying your wrong but dropping an expensive loan signing after he finally recovers from injury and scores ? .
He played the full 90 minutes against Villa and van Gaal has already said he can't play twice in a week, van Gaal should save him for Spurs.
Did not see that quote sorry .
Not having a go, just saying 😉
van Gaal won't want to overplay Falcao so soon, after all the frustration so far we need him fit for the new year.
Reckon there will be a few spanners thrown in unexpected. Got a feeling Costa might.
With Rvp off after 60 I expect him too play. With Sanchez looking tired today I expect him to get a rest.
Great insight.
Well it's stating the obvious but he asked....
Sanchez b/c they are playing QPR
Can I save the FT this week?
Hart
Baines Azpi Wisdom
Sanchez Yaya Hazard Siggy
Bony Giroud(c) Austin
Elliot - Boyd Duff Caulker
Playing Wisdom is a worry but can't see a worthy transfer to fix it...Looks good to me
looks awsome mate
wish i cud afford ur midfield n defence !It's funny you say that, cos so many people on here have 2m+ more than me ITB, which is depressing...
Definitely save.
Looks good Zep,
Wisdom or Caulker but Wisdom seems the pick.
Duff would be the one to shift but no obvious options better than Wis/Caulk.
Most important player to own for the next 3 GWs?
Austin IMO...
At least another 3 goals in the next 3, I reckon...Even in the away games? Good to hear considering I'm an owner. Anyone else Zep?
You think?
Absolutely... 2 great home games and Arsenal, who are hardly solid atthe back...
Austin is on fire, what's not to like?
Hopefully benteke! Maybe yaya if he doesn't get booked though.....
Might get him in as previous post. Own Yaya, anyone else?
Diego Costa
Controversial. No way is he starting all 3 in the first place.
Are we thinking Zab and Clichy for boxing day and Sagna and Kol for home Burnley game?
So what's the word on Siggy? I'd love to keep him for Villa at home, if he's not injured.
DDG
Clichy Clyne Hutton
Siggy Hazard(C) Yaya Sanchez
Austin RVP Sakho
Hamer Boyd Wisdom Yun
1FT, 2.7M in bank
1 - Sakho--->Benteke/Giroud/Kane
2 - Siggy--->Silva
3 - Yun ---> O'Shea (play him over Hutton)1 - Benteke
Or save.
Which of the following is a better combo for the next 2-3 weeks?
a) Sanchez & Sakho
or
b) Silva & Giroud
b imo
Cheers, was thinking the same.
