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.
Sky Game.
Sanchez(C) > Costa (C) worth a transfer? worried sanchez could be rested boxing day
They 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
Can't believe doing this but giving pool players a chance with Xmas fixures
Bertrand/Boyd to toure/sterling
I'm doing the same think they got nice fixtures coming i will get siggy out and sterling in
Let's hope works
Just with Xmas fixures and fact got money going to upgrade Boyd
nothing wrong with it
Sterling good option for sure
Which one is better for next week, having a Man City defender or a Sunderland defender ?
Surely city if got thst extra money
money is not a problem, Mangala or Vergini ?
Sunderland have better fixure this week
But going forward city got a great run.
City defender
man city, mainly because they are playing attacking game..even if they concede, there is a chance of attacking points
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...
Foster to Panti. Pants has a couple of good fixtures and he has something like 40 points over his last 6. Fantastic value
2
wow thats a cracking defense..i would do A
I like 2, however, are you cool with giving Baines yet another chance? I don't think I am. I'll be shipping for Chelsea def, I think. You could free up a lot of cash by going Baines -> O'shea.
He has Stk at home, after that I could go with City defender. I think that will be my next transfer. The problem with Alcaraz transfer is that I don't know who will be rested and when he will play. I think I am gonna need defender next week, when SAFC have worse fixture that this week.
Hmmm.. Dilemma dillemmas.
So mainly people saying sort out the dead wood this time of the year?Yeah I see what you're saying. I didn't really consider that. It may be a waste of a move to transfer a nailed player this time of year. Perhaps go with A, at least you know it won't be a waste.
that is true. But goalkeeper transfer seems like wasted one. Maybe wait till WC to change keeper. And maybe Guzan will be better option instead of Panti, now after reassessing the fixtures .
Hmmm....
Conclusion will wait for more news and press conferences. Maybe there will be some clue will and who can be rested
Cheers all
cresswell and carroll > o'shea and benteke for a hit make sense?
Carroll on form. Id keep him
nope
Nope. Hold - West Ham on the up
Vlaar and Benteke might be better...
Will Sturridge play again this season ?...seems to be taking forever.
Yes I'm sure he will play a game or two and then limp off with a hammy or groin problem never to be seen again for 3 months....
He's a shocker....
Liverpool with Sturridge...Arsenal with Wilshire and Walcott...They can't really complain because it's been going on for years with them, same with Aguero and Silva keep limping off for City.Do you remember Darren Aderton for Spurs years ago? The lad must have only played a years worth of footy in his whole career !
Yeah, I remember....They called him sick note. I have very little sympathy when managers bemoan their luck with some of the players they choose to buy, or stick hold of. Some just don't have the physical make up to be able to stay relatively injury free for any amount of time. They can either stick with them or buy players made out of old WW1 battleships like Mourinho does..
Over 30,000 career minutes (around 350 full games)
He got a bit of an unfair reputation.Did he really...crikey...Did he get all his injuries in his prime then ?...
mmm..too late for those fixtures then.
Heaton (Mannone)
Clyne Ivanovic Chambers (Wisdom, Yun)
Hazard Sanchez Siggy Downing (Boyd)
Rooney Costa Austin
1FT and £1.0 ITB
Would you rather have Silva or a City defender?Silva for me but depends what swaps would be
Looking at team would need a hit to get silva
City defender could get for free upgrade chambers or clyne
Guzan
JT Chambers Naylor
Hazard Sanchez Yaya Siggy
Austin Costa Kane
xx Boyd Hutton Yun
1FT, 4.6 in bank. What to do?I would be tempted to upgrade defense. Get City defender IMO
And wait on Siggy news. If he isn't fit than Silva looks like good option
WOW your ranking. You are crazy man. Good luck
You are crazy this year regarding captains, just checked. Austin? WOW. You shark. Who is your next captain mate?
Haha. Thinking Yaya. Probably beacuse he is nailed on to start.
Hazard better option but I fear he maybe benchedI am not sure about YYT potential next week. I am tempted by Sanchez. His stats are worrying me. I think WHam aren't pushovers so Hazard will play IMO. He could be rested, if rested for the SoT game
RMT, Who should I captain this week?
--------------Guzan
Baines, Zabaleta, Clichy, Azpi
-----Hazard, Sanchez, Yaya
-------RVP, Austin, Kane
McCarthy, Downing, Boyd, Moore 1.1 itb 0 FT
Haz
Hazard captain
hazard @ rvp
RVP.
Thanks all, I'm torn between Hazard and RVP
Some advice please guys?
1FT and £2.1 ITB
Foster Myhill
Terry Baines Wisdom Hutton PVA
Fabregas Sanchez Downing Siggy Marney
Costa Rooney Austin
Thinking getting rid of Siggy but to who?I'm thinking Sterling?
Cazorla, Erikson or Sterling maybe
Bring Sterling or Cazorla for a hit? I have money and I will update my mid (replace Catermole - already have Downing - Haz - Yaya). sterling fixtures seem easier but Liverpool is... Liverpool..
wait on Sterling.
Say your only goalie is Adrian, who has che, ARS next two. Would you
A) Rotate with Hamer, which gives TOT, hul, WBA, AVL, STK next five
B) Swap Adrian with Szceshny, who has good fix' next four
C) Stick with Adrian until GW 23, when fix' become real nasty.
I have no Arsenal defensive cover.A
I have Adrian, no playing replacement and only .5 ITB.
Not sure what to do.
A looks decent for you and remedy on WC.
In my h2h draft match I'm currently 50-50 despite having kept the same number of clean. Sheets as much opponent and despite having scored 5 goals to his one.
Feels wrong.Thats why the captaincy rule is horrible.
I don't think Silva will repeat his latest big points haul over Xmas.
There must have been six or seven Man City players camped around the Palace penalty box.
The finishing strike could have come from any of them.
Nasri, Yaya, Milner, Navas, Lampard could just as easily bag a couple.
Dont agree. He was moslty injured, now its time to play 🙂
That was Silva's 1st goal at the Etihad since a year.
Is there enyone else who doing transfer: Downing out for Silva for free ?
Siggy > downing
mirallas > yaya toure
clichy > Wasilewski
(-8) and captain yaya
yay or nay?YAY!
no.
Some seriously pimped up defences about at the moment.
Im still budget with azpi, naylor, dummett, hutton, yun
Anyone going even cheaper?
AARRGGHHHH SIGGY'S PRICE FELL
What's the word, chaps? Sell, sell, sell?
how do we pronounce your name?
Mystique or Mistake?Exactly the same as Mistake.
I assume yours is the orthodox kind of Shifty?
Keep, Keep, Keep
Keep
Typically the time to sell is before the price drop
When Bony is away for ACON, will siggy be taking those pen?
He could, but I think Gomis is ahead of him...
Foster
Azpi Hutton Naylor
Hazard Alexis Siggs Eriksen Downing
Austin Costa
Krul Dzeko Dummett Duff
£1.9m ITB 1FT
My initial thoughts were to drop Downing (Siggs if not fit) to the bench and do Dzeko > Giroud and revert back to 4 3 3 but I feel naked without one of Yaya and Silva. So do I:
a) Dzeko > Giroud, keep Eriksen
b) Dzeko & Eriksen > Yaya & Kane (-4)
c) Dzeko & Eriksen > Giroud & Silva (-4)A
RVP>Falcao yay or nay?
Nay
Nay
😯
Hi, for next week.
Yun >> O'Shea (Home vs Hull) ?
