-
Giroud or Benteke?
Giroud has better fix this week, Benteke long term + should get more minutes and on penalties.
Silva or ADM?
Silva has better fixtures, but ADM should start all of next three.-
Silva, Mata and ADM competing for a spot
-
But Silva plays for city, Mata and ADM for united 😯 😉
-
he's saying pick silva... the other two are competing
-
-
-
Tekkers and ADM I think. Silva's haul was a flash in the pan
-
giroud and silva
-
Tekkers and AdM from those
-
Thanks, looks like it's either Silva & Giroud or Benteke & ADM then.
Not sure which one tough.
If Siggy is fit, might go for Sakho, Costa => Benteke, Giroud after all.-
I dont see how you got any favorites from those comments everyone seems to have a differing opinion... Great question though... I think Giroud's fixture against QPR is tempting, and he does supremely well at home but long term I would go Tekkers.
-
😯
One says Silva
One says Silva & Giroud
Two says ADM & Benteke
Nobody said Silva & Benteke or ADM & Giroud.-
I dont even see how ADM is an option when there is Silva -> Plays for a better team, in a better position, in better fixtures!? I feel like Im taking crazy pills!
-
-
-
I've done Silva and Giroud then I'm going to switch Bony for Benteke next week. Bony still has a good fixture this week and should be back after being rested.
-
-
Yeah but Benteke is playing in arguably one of the poorest sides in the league, and the lowest scoring one. Sure, his being missing is partly to blame for that but Villa will never, ever tonk anyone so he'll just be sneaking a goal here and there.
Silva will play every match. Too many injuries for Pellegrini to tinker. Only ones at risk of rotation are Clichy/Zab/Kolarov/Sagna.
-
-
Pantilimon
N.Taylor - Hutton - Clyne
Fabregas - Sanchez - Hazard - Sigurdsson
Austin - Costa -Van Persie
Guzan - 1.Boyd - 2.Duff - 3.Wisdom
0.0 itb, 0 FTs left 🙁
I have doubts over the following starting due to injury and rests: Hazard, Siggurdson, Sanchez, Costa.
Seeing how my team would collapse with that bench, where do you think a -4 hit is necessary to improve depth and starters? :/-
Only Duff. Cheer up, pretty good team!
-
-
Hey late DZers
Quick yes or no poll.
Fabregas looks like he is squeezing out a massive turd in the article picture?
Cheers-
Looks like he's about to blow Costa 😉
-
Is it's name Costa?
-
😀
-
-
-
Hi guys
Pant
Jenko Cahill Baines
Yaya Sanchez Hazard Siggy
Costa Austin Sakho
Bench: Green, Wisdom, Boyd, Moore
2 FT, 1,2m ITB
Suggestions?
Thinking about get Hutton for Moore but no sure with strikers-
Wait for news on Siggy and Haz
Upgrade one of your defs or bench-
Thanks 🙂

Here goes my unpopular opinion..
Sanchez getting rested is a myth on these boards..
Absolutely no concrete evidence, no sources
Pure speculation based on his performance. Yes he looked weary and its an entirely possible that he may be rested but there may be another explanation.
He had a huge birthday bash on Fri for his 26th birthday, him and Arsenal were clearly hungover. I'm dead serious not trying to be funny.
Most importantly, I think Wenger sticking him on the wings limits him drastically (especially the left flank which is not his natural position and you can tell it affects him)
No coincidence that Giroud coming back along with having Cazorla in a central position, has affected his output. Alexis is at his best when is allowed to roam.
In addition, the Chilean media had reported a few weeks back (during internation break) that he was particularly looking forward to playing this fixture against his Chilean teammates at QPR (Isla and Vargas) This is not Galatasaray after already qualifying for the knockout round in the CL.
I don't think Wenger can afford to rest him right now, he doesn't have Ramsey or Wilshere. He clearly doesn't trust Campbell and probably too stubborn to start Podolski.
Hopefully we will get more concrete information later in the week, but I honestly would be surprised if he doesn't start.-
this - he won't be rested. would be madness especially against a QPR that are finding their goalscoring rhythm (charlie austin is at least) so they need as much attacking prowess as they can get because god knows they can't defend
-
thanks oz, I'm not gonna convince many on here but thats not the goal, just pointing out its all he said / she said
-
-
Great story.
But he's still getting rested.-
feckin costa
-
Rvp = 2
Costa = 2
🙂
The positive is that RVP only played 60mins, likely to start NEW(H). Might captain again-
I would
I'll captain Gru-
Solid option.
-
Gru?
-
-
-
-
according to you?
-
It's just logical.
QPR are shite and West Ham mid week will be hard.-
+1
-
Like I said its clearly possible.
So lets say he does get rested. Who starts?-
Easy.
-----------Gru --------
Welbz - Santi - Ox
- Flamini - Coquelin -
Gibbs - Mert - Chambers - Debuchy
Szczczczcesny-
Even a sneaky chance of Walcott playing and Ox starting CM
-
I can see Walcott maybe but Coquelin really?
I know he got recalled, so he is just going to jump everyone else in the starting lineup?
Wenger only put him last 10 min to try and secure the win and didn't work out so well.-
Everyone else injured....
-
-
-
-
Pod
-
I think the team above more likely.
For some reason he doesn't like Pod. Even though his goals per mins ratio is outstanding.-
i reckon welbz will be rested too, him and sanchez played awful lot lately. if they cant get a rest vs QPR, then when will they?
-
Perhaps if Wally is fit.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
So Sanchez(c) again? 😉
-
Absolutely 😀
-
Good Luck 😛
-
-
-
Arsenal play better without Alexis. He will be rested.
-
lol
-
Ok make sure you sell him for a hit
-
Haven't had him all season bud
-
-
lol lol
-
-
he was playing against liverpool, which is a good team..not to disrespect qpr, but sanchez should be playing much better this gw..i think sanchez will start, though would be subbed earlier
-
You make a good case BUT there are 3 games in a short space of time, 1 is at home which in fairness should be a formality, the 2 aways are against teams Arsenal are fighting with for a CL space, unless he plans to play him in all 3 then you have to look at it logically without fantasy emotion and think which games he is needed for most.
Obviously it's all speculation, Walcott also needs a game, do you play him at home to a team without a point away or against 2 teams that will leave it all on the pitch to try and take that 4th spot?
Wenger can't afford to rest him, he can't afford for him to get injured either and he's played a lot of games, there is no window for a rest other than this and FA Cup weekend.-
Walcott is def an option but unfortunately we don't have much update on his status either. Just pointing out that it's mainly all rumors and nothing is for certain. Wenger hasn't been particularly good about rotating his players either. Guess we'll only find out this Friday.
-
Are there any press conferences today?
Seriously tempted to turn Boyd into Walcott to cover both possibilities.
Walcott can easily turn into Silva the following week if it goes wrong.-
Im sure Sean Dyche is too 🙂
-
Haha, very good.
-
-
-
Wenger said Alexis fitness in the red zone, if he gonna miss one of the xmas games logic dictates it will be this one.
Its not enough evidence for owners to drop him but as a non owner im more than happy to stear clear-
That was before the Southampton game and he ended up scoring the winner, Dec 5th
-
-
-
-
Resting players over the Xmas period really isn't Wenger's MO is it. He didn't do it last year except where injury forced his hand. We don't know about two years ago as they had no Boxing Day match, but look at RVP's last season. If ever a forward needed a rest, it was RVP playing every minute going into Xmas, but there he was, playing every game over Xmas nonetheless.
-
I honestly don't know Ruberx. He may start and get subbed early, surely he won't play 90 in both of the next two games. For now, the doubt around him starting has made me look elsewhere for the captaincy, but if he starts then surely he's a great captain for the week. Sometimes us FPL addicts try to second guess the actual managers, and it doesn't always end well 🙂
-
-
Hey guys, to get Silva i need to replace Wilson with a 4.2 or less defender. Who's the best option? 🙂
-
sunderland defender or hutton
-
Hutton
-
I could've done Hutton (4.3) yesterday but Siggy dropped 0.2 so I'm 0.1 short. Has to be 4.2 max.
-
The options appear to be
Yoshida (dropped from next gw?)
Yun
Bartley (will he get gametime?)
Saylor (leaning towards him)
Leicester defenders (er, no)-
They are all bad but Saylor (NEW) is the best choice I guess, second best maybe Wasilewski, OK it's Leicester but at least he seems to be nailed
-
-
Saylor
-
Reluctantly agreed. Won't see much pitchtime anyway, like Wilson who was permabenched.
Okay, cheers guys
-
-
-
-
-
Hi
Benteke or Giroud? At least for 3-4 GWs-
Gru
-
giroud
-
Tekkers
-
Benteke
-
Giroud this week, Benteke after
-
this
-
-
Tekkers
-

Just logged in
Assuming no news on Hazard's injury?-
nope

Good to go? Used my 2FT but willing to take a hit to do Hazard>Silva if he's out for a while. -
H All,
i will u do changes to this strikers:
Costa, Sakho, Austin
with 2 FT and 1,2 ITB
Will be gratefull for suggestions 🙂 -
My back 4 scored 41 points this week 😯
-
Terry Zaba Clyne and someone?
-
Panti, Zab, Terry, Naylor
-
-
My whole team scored 40 😛
-
-
If Hazard is fit, should I do Foster > Pants or save my transfer?
-
save for sure
-
Depends on your team. I'd probably save my FT though.
-
save
-
I think that would be a one - week punt considering his fixtures after HULL(h) ... better to save or bring Guzan
-
See my post below 🙂
-
-
Best cap option for boxing day?
A) Hazard
B) Costa
C) Kane
D) Sterling
E) Lukaku-
A if fit
C if not-
Same here..
-
-
I rank them:
Hazard
Giroud
Bony
Costa-
If i had Gru i would defo captain him over Hazard. Wham much tougher opponent than QPR and Hazard will not always get big hauls at home
-
-
Ccccccccc
-
C or A
Mind helping me out below? -
I would surprisingly say D.
-
-
Sorry, how rude.. here's the full team
Foster xx
Baines Clyne Naylor Caulker Moore
Yaya Alexis Hazard Siggy Boydinho
RVP Carroll Austin
0 banked, 1 FT.
Save? or suggest something.-
Save
-
would save but monitor Haz/Siggy news, 2 FT will be invaluable during this hectic schedule, esp. if you have zero itb
-
Save, looks good mate
-
mind u, monitor siggy news
-
yeah of course monitoring Haz and Siggy.
-
I reckon Haz could miss Wham game but thats all
-
Silva could be a short term option then until Jan WC if he's out.
-
true
-
-
-
-
-
-
Save FT
Mind helping me out below?
-
-
Good Morning/Afternoon fellas.
RMT :
Foster
Zaba | Baines | Chambers
Yaya | Alexis | Hazard | Siggy
Costa | Austin | Kane
Subs : Jakupovic |Downing | Cresswell | Hutton
1 banked ,1 FT
Good to go & Cap who?
Thinking of doing either
A) Cresswell > JT
or,
B) Jakupovic > Panti ?-
Save the transfer.
-
I'd save it unless siggy is out
-
wait for injury news, hazard and siggy both doubts
-
-
Yaya/Sakho -> Silva/Giroud worth -4
Cheers-
It could easily backfire.
-
-
Christ. Villa's fixtures are sick 😯
-
Villa struggle to score and Swansea, Sunderland and Palace aren't the easiest of opponents.
So I disagree.-
I dunno... Tekkers goal impressed me this gw
-
He isn't going to get a foot of space and be 1v1 with Johnny bloody Evans every week though. 😛
-
-
-
Did Costa>Giroud
next week Giroud>Benteke if I don't need my FT -
Get Delphi and cleverly in pronto!
-
-
Team A: Rooney, Sigurdsson
Team B: Giroud, Silva-8pts
Who win?-
If Siggy is fit, A easily.
-
B is better over the next few fixtures but A for this gameweek
-
Thanks; so if I say:
Team A: Rooney
Team B: Giroud-4pts, then?-
Is this for 1 week or what?
-
Till Jan WC you can say
-
Probably B then.
Rooney playing CM atm.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Simple rule for the holiday period 😉
Don't buy anyone unless you know they WILL play
Don't sell anyone unless you know they WON'T play
Simples-
In that case I should keep Coleman 😀
-
Nah, funnily enough I reckon he is one who will get some rest. Getting rid of Liam Moore is all I'm doing.
-
Oops, that was Acqua. Yes you should 😉
-
Really? Taken off at 60mins at the weekend...
-
Yep, I think he will need more than 30 mins rest to play two on the spin and Falcao complicates things further. I wouldn't sell but I wouldn't buy either at this time of year
-
I think it will be:
NEW - play
tot- play
stk - rest-
minutes? that's a different story.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
This.
Fancy RVP this week WR? Might captain him again just out of spite.-
Have a glance over my post about Newcastle
-
Link?
-
-
-
RF above. Fabs was the right capt UFPL choice 😎
-
Aye 😉
Replied above.
-
-
-
Why I kept Baines and sacrificed Costa instead
-
-
What are Hazard owners doing?
Lets assume Mourinho says something along the lines of "its a sore one, he has a chance to play but we will see"
2 away games follow west ham and dont really want someone that expensive sitting on bench.
Winter wildcard soon so can get him back easily enough.
For me transfer out is the best thing to do unless of course he is confirmed fit-
Keeping him unless he's deemed to be out for more than two gameweeks. Hazard>Silva or Sterling is the plan for a hit if that happens.
-
that a value thing?
Im thinking those 2 too, think i will do it though unless defo fit, Sterling is gonna get a big haul in one of these chrimbo games-
Or yea, Sterling/Silva/Fab in for siggy...just adding on to my reply below.
-
I honestly think Lallana might be the man to have from Liverpool. Rodgers just needs to consistently play him.
-
Maybe, but he'll get a rest too - so be it on your own head.
-
-
-
The way i've set up my team, downing would be on the bench the next 2 games anyway - so probably just play Downing as most of ML rivals will be playing Downing anyway.
Might consider getting Fab in for Siggy GW18 if it looks like Haz will sit out a few GWs, but definitely not selling.
In short - make use of my squad. It's deep enough.

0 FT, 0.9 ITB
Adrian
Zabaleta Azpi Chambers
Sanchez(c) Yaya Hazard Siggy

Morning, i got a good 91 points haul this GW but as most it came with an injury to Hazzard, my question is should i ship him out for 1GW for Eriksen Fabregas or silva-(Great fixtures) as im playing catch up pulled at least 30 points back this gw and dont want to lose ground, team below.
Forster
Clyne Azpilicueta Naylor
Hazzard Yaya Downing Sanchez
Costa Austin Bony
Subs- Guzan-Yun-Clark-Boyd
1FT 0.5 in bank.-
So let me get this straight.
You don't wanna lose ground yet want to ship Haz?
Errrr... no.-
stoppd reading at got 91 BUT
-
Oh Sorry!!
-
-
Only for next fixture as i know the others only have defence cover for man city???
-
-
I'd hold steady. Chances are your rivals have the same problem and won't sell.
-
-
94 points... Not quite enought to get into the top 1k 🙁
On 1016 points anyone know how far of I am? Chur -
Morning FFS!
Despite (C)osta solid 82 points, unfortunately I was not able watch the match. How was Costa doing please? Thinking about gettind rid of and this might be just that moment.-
Missed a breakaway and a good chance that almost gave me a heart attack.
-
Thanks I will hold on the fire for just one more GW maybe.
-
-
-
ive currently got Sanchez as captain this week. I see talk on the boards of a potential rest. Seeing as I had the epic fail of a bony captain this week which, had I went elsewhere for the captaincy could've seen a very decent ranking for Christmas, I'm wondering if I should go for a safer choice.
So do we think Sanchez will really get the rest or should Costa be given the armband. I've brought in di Maria this week aswell but I think it's too soon to give him the armband-
Both Costa and Alexis will be rested.
-
no-one really knows, for me I find it more likely that they will be rested for 28DEC but should still play on boxing day
-
cannot see playing relegation cannon fodder at home then missing an away game against a top 4 side, most likely starts both but if misses one it wont be west ham away
-
So he'll play both. RVP's last season at Arsenal they played AV, Wolves, Fulham, and QPR in succession over Xmas. RVP and others played them all.
-
-
-
Right now it's speculation. Speculation fuels belief. Before you know it the masses are convinced belief is truth. It's the season to hold off decisions for as long as possible until actual info comes out.
-
The Shadow has spoken! Believe his wisdom 😉
-
Thanks, and thanks all for the thoughts. I agree with a lot of what you are saying here
-
-
-
I can already see that this week, all the questions will be about what to do with Costa, Hazard, Sanchez and Siggy.
-
no flies on you
-
Luckily only have Sanchez and Sigurdsson, not really bothered 😀
-
i don't see why any one of these should be thrown out because of a rest. If they are rested for boxing day then surely they'll be back after so are people then considering to get them back? Seems a waste to me. Most players will be rested for one of the following 3 anyway so imo it is best to just stick with those players. Aim for all should not be 3 great GWs in a row but instead 2 out of 3 good GWs.
-
And Baines
-
-
I think it makes the most sense that RVP will play against NEW and tot, and be rested against stk.
Van Gaal doesn't want his Dutch pal to get bullied at the Britannia, and think he will get mins against both Newcastle and Tottenham.
Just not sure about how many mins he gets in each.-
and just like that a myth is born 😛
-
-
Re. Rx's post. I think he'll start. The ffs collective have a habit of coming to conclusions about rest and rotation based on nothing more that swapping thought bubbles and assumptions that somehow gain authority with every nod in agreement, soon enough it becomes dogma through repitition. You could say it's a bit religilous 😉
Obviously wenger is worried about burn out but i expect that will be managed through early withdrawals when possible.
Of course he was buggered at anfield. He will never give up the chase that's just his style. I was the same when i played. Chased everything on instinct. Never conserved energy. In a game where the opposition keeps possession AND attacks all game the chasers pay the price. What he has going for him is unbelievable stamina and fitness. He's been playing through a niggling groin injury all season.
Start more likely than not imo.-
100% agree but add to that Giroud coming back has defo slightly dented his appeal and im happy to stay clear
-
Thanks for posting this Champ
It's only my first season so I'm not familiar with the habits of some people on these boards. I trust that you have experienced similar scenarios in past seasons.
I def agree with your point on his style could induce a burnout. I've been watching him for a long time, and one of the things that he has struggled throughout his career is being able to sustain enough energy for the last 10-15 mins of the game (the most crucial time period) Maybe playing in England this year will make him realize this.
