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.
2 FTs Wisdom+dummett > saylor+Debuchy?
Other defenders are: Baines, Azpil and Yun
RICARDOAVFC
Team for week 18
Hart (Krul)
Clyne Hutton Lescott (Dummett & Moore)
Sanchez Hazard Yaya Sigurdsson (Downing)
Costa Kane Austin
£3.0m in bank.
Sigurdsson out for Silva -4?
Yes get silva
Is there normal press conf before next round?
should be. just bring them all forward 24 hours i would think.
Thanks
Is Clark from Villa nailed on? He started even with Vlaar back. I like the lad and I think he has goals in him
Ok to save free transfer this week?
Pants
Azpi Baines Hutton
Hazard vc Sanchez Yaya Siggy
Costa Giroud (C).Austin
Alnwick Downing Wisdom Yun.
Just keep it... Maybe consider Siggy - ? if he´s not fit.
Thanks mate even if he is out not sure what to do. Downing would come in. But could do -4 for one of Adm silva or sterling and downgrade Baines? Thoughts?
I hate taking hits these days, pretty much anyone could get rested... Baines wont get rested tho 😉
Better safe than sorry.Cheers blue
There a good place to get a summary of last night's risers and fallers?
TotalFPL was good for that but now seems to have given up.Kane up mirralas down
has sanchez run his course?
run of not many points
how did he look yesterday?
tired, i think he needs a rest
likely to be rested
9,5,9,2 isn't really a 'run of not many points' though...
lol, not sure how i missed he'd got those!
just seemed like he wasn't scoring many
lost... only effort is is went down easily to get the free kick that resulted in 1st goal
The FPL site doesn't work ?
does for me
On Mondays even they don't feel like working...its a general feeling for Bot/Human
Like many others on here I think of two possible transfers.
A. Baines > Zaba
B. Lukaku > Giroud
C. Save
I prefer B, but both moves could backfire. Everton is not on form, but then they are playing a "tired" Stoke team at home. What do you think? My weakness in this game is that I keep players far too long.wait why would stoke be tired?
Everton have two days more rest
B
Not A imo, Baines will play the next two games.. not so sure about Zabaleta tho... he could get rested vs BUR.
Giroud looks good
Didn't Zaba already have a rest the week before>?
Yes
but he is not a superman to play 3 games within 6-7 days periodSure, but he could just get another one on the bench... Play both 26th and 28th, naah.. I dont think so actually... Both Kolarov/Clichy and Zab/Sagna will rotate imo...
This is why I'm keeping Baines and anyway he has good fixtures.
Cheers! B it is then. Will keep Baines for now...
After watching back the city game was it just me or did anyone else notice that it wasn't Milner playing the False 9 it was in fact Zabaletta!
What a beast awesome performance had 2 attempts on goal and should have scored!Yup! all of us here during Dugout Discussion were saying this only...Zaba was the forward! in the first half
Suppose it's best kept to ourselves Moin!
How you doing in cup mate?Yeah!
I'm out this week...my stubbornness of Not getting Austin cost me...got Lukaku instead who scored an own goal and got me 0 points..my opponent had Austin 17 points for him..Ouch!
I should be ok I'm ahead with (c) Haz to play totalling 3 Che whereas he has 2 Chelsea.
Hope to get someone big next round!Ooh Nice!! Yup..next round will be more competitive...All the Best!! 🙂
Srsly? Who played in Zaba's place?
No one really, did you see his positioning?
I'm I ok to save transfer?
I have .4 in bank for Hutton in for Yun next week
Joe Hart
Azpi Ried Coleman
Yaya Sanchez hazard Siggy
Costa Kane Giroud
McCarthy Downing Saylor Yun
Lol@ that Zaba Ownership post.
Kolarov on 3.3% ownership 😎If Kolarov was nailed on..his ownership would've been 97.3%
will lol at you back when lolarov is on bench vs Wbrom
😎
If you could have any 3 defenders between now an Jan wildcard who would you jump on?
Other than City I'm not seeing any valueDoes panti count
Yeah, wherever you see clean sheets/bonus etc
Best defender for the next 2 games for 6.1 or less? Mangala?
he's the only one i don't see being rotated for the next 2 so I'd say yep
Demi is safer, no?
Yep agree
Opinions please,
Azplicueta, Welbeck, and Barkley to Zabaleta, Austin, and di Maria -4
Looks great to me.
Cheers
change Di Maria to Silva/Sterling/Milner/Erikson.
Manu not playing that gud.maybe avoid -4hit too... Barkley>> Di maria
barkley next game home vs stokes... maybe change after that gameWas tempted by Silva before this weekend, so now my judgment is cloudy! Have Eriksen, and surely ADM over sterling and Milner?
not sure about azpi > zaba personally
Really want Benteke in for the next 4/5 GWs
Who would you take out to make room for him?
A, Rooney
B, Costa
Thinking A myself
I'm thinking A personally, but are Villa good enough to fuel him?
For the festive season I expect him to play every minute and Villa have good fixtures
He would be removed with my January wildcard
This was my ,ogic. I transferred him in two weeks ago, and didn't expect much from the United game. Good fixtures
Rooney
A)
rooo... too deep to score
i did rooney -> teke last night.
That Bentekke goal must be close to goal of the season,
Sheer power and class, the beast is back and has the fixtures to boot just a pity the team around him is so ordinary.Yep, if he goes somewhere else in January he'll be FF gold
Is there any speculation to suggest he might? I have him for his fixtures over Christmas but would love it if he joined a team with good suppliers...
It was a really nice goal... such skill and class, looked easy... 😀
yup! he deserves a better club..where he can get good balls..awesome finesse shot by him!
captain choice for boxing day??
Sanchez
I'm worried about rotation.
Me too.
So I'm undecided about my VC.
Currently on Rooney(NEW) but I have Hazard too.Yeah this is tricky, the big problem is that both Hazard and Alexis could get rested...
So I think Hazard (C) and someone like Yaya (VC) is safer.. I actually hope (as a fan) that Alexis will get rested one game
Nah. Hazard is more important to Chelsea than Alexis is to Arsenal. Arsenal play better without Alexis anyway.
That´s a bold statement 😀
The other way around imo, Alexis is far more important for Arsenal. The real concern is if Walcott could start and Alexis rest.. but I think its too early for him. And I dont think Alexis will get rested for anyone else but Walcott tbh.Rubbish. The signing of Alexis has been a step backwards for Arsenal.
In previous seasons, although Arsenal were shite, they were at least enjoyable to watch. This season they've been shite and awful to watch. Alexis takes too long on the ball and holds up the play. Precisely the reason why Barca ditched him. He's detrimental to good, quick passing football.
Sure he's managed to score some goals but they've come at a cost to his teammates' goals. Ramsey, Cathorla, etc have all underperformed this season because of Alexis.Wow
I guess we have to agree to disagree then. U have some good points, I´ll give u that... he can hold up the play sometimes, but he is just pure class...
Cazorla had a bad year last year too, was that Alexis fault too?
Ramsey had a brilliant year, but injuries and a lack of confidence this year is tough for him, so much to live up to.
Imho, I think you are wrong Sir.. but thats ok 🙂As a matter of fact, Cazorla is much better this year thanks to Alexis... 😀
?!? He has carried arsenal on many occasions this season?
Hazard will start 100%
He hardly ever misses a league game
Won't start
Hazard
Hazard
Giroud or Haz
This
Giroud
i'm also thinking of giroud 🙂 but silva is in good form
Haz
sorry WHU has a decent defence
What? You think Chelsea will blank at home? lol
Hazard (c) siggy (VC) if he is fit
Sanchez in the team
afternoon mates
Foster(Gilks)
Baines - Clyne - Chambers (Dummet, Waslewski)
Haz - Silva - Sanchez - Sig (Downing)
Costa - Bony - Austin
just bought in Silva for fab and Austin for kane this week
0 FT, 0 ITB
Thoughts?The latter move could have waited.
Baines->Azpi/Abbazabba was the greatest priority.
why kane > austin now??
I wish Kompany wasn't so injury prone
I wish Kolarov started every game....
I wish Baines would start scoring points again
I wish that he didn't and Barkley went on penos!
Would you keep Clyne for the next GWs?
I can sell him for a City defendersell him then..don't think
Im keeping him for his attacking threat. Bought him at 5m anyway
if you have kept till now keep..here and there few blanks,but overall consistent scorer.
Morning peeps!
Anyone considering doubling up with Yaya and Silva?
Reasons?Many..reason..both will get points, simple
Hell no - Silva isn't heavy enough and I don't like the fact that your username is linked to mine with such a silly move. 😡
Which Man City defender should i buy, Zaba or Clichy ?
Both will be rotated, just pick one
The Zabs
Zaba although I prefer the nailed on centre backs.
Mangala and Demi ?
Mangala for me
Yes.
who do you think is nailed on when Kompany is fit?
i think Mangala is more likely to lose his place
Although I have no authority on this matter I'd hazard a guess at Mangala.
Mangala unless you're happy Zaba/Clichy potentially being rotated
Morning gentleman, what do you think about this?
Siggy and Baines --> Di Maria and Mangala(-4)
Currently I have no City defence or United coverage.No
Thanks for the opinion, Willis 🙂
I'd wait on Siggy news. If he's good, just do Baines >>> Zabaleta.
I will give it a little more time on Siggy although I'm wary of losing value 🙂
I honestly don't think value matters a great deal this year. So few big strikers that are doing it consistently and so many budget options. I haven't looked at a price change website in ages.
I like it
Thanks!
Top 10k ownership:
Hazard 79.5%
Costa 77%
Captaincy:
Hazard 8.4%
Costa 14.3%
I have both but neither as captain. Do I want them to score big? Yes or NoSame boat... I probably want blanks from both of them.
Although I think FPLDiscovery have some statistical way of saying whether it would ge good for them to score or not.There is a stats way for doing it for sure. I've seen someone on here do it before, just forgotten how they did it.
I want 2 pts from each of them...
Still points added to your team and the 10% from teams that don't own both your gain points.
you always want points for your players 🙄
Siggy -> Silva would've been worth -4 after all huh. Does everyone have 3 Chelsea players tonight? Azpi, Haz and Costa (c) here, Costa brace tonight would be perfect!
have 2
Hazard and (C)osta
Either brace or red card from CostaRed card would be horrible. I'll take the brace
Yep although none cap'd.
Same here.
I'm sure many (c) Yaya this round!
Most have two I guess, but "everyone" dont have 3 right?
Azpi, Haz and Costa for me...2 here..oscar and Azi..
I have 3..
i want Azpi --10+
Haz & costa 2 each...
chelsea losei dont see chelsea losing with above points for each player lol 😛
Same 3 with Haz (c)
This we in my draft league played 4-3-3....but Siggy was a no-show and I only have Chambers on the bench.
Will it auto sub and give me a 5-2-3 formation? Or is that not allowed?Auto sub 5-2-3
Really?
Any news of a Xmas Scoutcast? It looks like Granville may catch up too Mark 😮
Has falcao done enough to secure a start in UTDs next game?
I'd be surprised if not
nah..Rooney playing Deep didn't help them..so Rooney and RVP may again start
he did better than RVP in every game he played imo(not sure that’s enough though)
Think so if he's nailed I'd rather him over Rvp/Rooney/Adm but those injuries.
Would be true to BFS's character to approach the Chelsea game "18th century" style again and get another result 😆
It was 19th century but the irony is the 19th C was full of 2-3-5 formations and a bagful of goals per game.
