With Gameweek 21 done and dusted, we dig deep into the data in our regular Sunday evening article. A trio of in-form midfielders at Arsenal, Man City and Swansea are amongst tonight’s topics, whilst we also assess United’s alarming attack, Burnley’s raiding right-back and the main men for West Brom and Palace as Tony Pulis and Alan Pardew kick-start their respective stints at the helm with a victory.
is Alberto Moreno Niald on ?
He'll play vs villa
I need him for WC
Most likely nailed on atleast while Lallana is out injured. Once hes back who knows.
Baird v Wasil?
Baird by a distance.
Wasi. Especially if you already have Wisdom. Too early to tell if Pulis will play him.
When the earliest will we know DGW ?
might not be one this season
the only ones will be whoever gets to the league cup final.
depends on the cups and cup replays ecc
Anyone thinking doubling up on wba Foster-Wisdom is not such good option even if u did it for Costa-Kun-Kane? Cheers
A couple of weeks too early.
I have had them both from the start
I was considering doing that for my wildcard. I don't see a problem with it providing you can rotate both of them with other players for the weeks their fixtures don't look so appealing.
I think it's a fantastic option as long as you have good enough rotation mates to bench them when needed.
Cheers guys
To be honest. Even if its not to save cash i would have done it. Wba n sun has the best fixtures tt i m confident they will get some cleanie there
Who would you rather have?
Terry + Hutton + Chadli + Costa
OR
Ivanovic + Bertrand + Fàbregas + Austin
B - Although I own Terry
So is it okay to be without Costa in the long term?
No way u will really know. But from what we see from the 1st half of season u can try ur luck in not having him
Fair enough. Thanks.
B
Hey guys,
Two questions, do you think Silva/Toure's GWP suffers under Aguero? And therefore not worth owning?
And ADM...giving me real concern. QPR fixture looks juicy but the form...makes me think either I should bench him and play Chadli or trade in someone else.
Thoughts?Even if they do suffer they are still worth owning depending on fixtures
Relax. Give adm a game more.
Silva would have a few assists if city finish his chances againt evertonTheir assist potential increases but Silva's goal potential goes down. Yaya isn't really affected in terms of goals.
Secondly, keep ADM. He's just come back from injury & those fixtures are tasty.Ok I'll keep ADM for the QPR game 🙂
Cheers all.
Watching the game yesterday actually reinforced my opinion that I needed AdM even more. Was thinking of going without Man U coverage but AdM was central to everything they did.
Also, I believe RvP's injury will be beneficial as Falcao and Rooney look hungrier than RvP and will only benefit from AdM's delivery
what time do price changes happen?
in an hour
between 2 and 3am UK time if i'm not mistaken
Just an hour from now
thanks folks
Think I'm going to go Costa and Boyd over Fab and Austin just as it'll be easier to bring in Sturridge when he's back.
and easier to trade him out when he goes down again 🙁
yes forehead how you doing
I think that event may be too far away and speculative to influence that decision for me. I'd just go with whichever pairing you think will get more points. Even if you go the latter you can just as easily save a transfer one week and get Sturridge back in for free anyways.
Yeah fair point I'm keeping Austin and Fab.
Carroll vs Aguero this week will kill me
deciding which one to get for the week? do you think aguero will rise again before the deadline?
I have Carroll already and have enough to bring in Aguero
I think Aguero will rise by .2 by Saturday morning
It's a wildcard week, things may go very quiet again on price changes as last week. Wouldn't be surprised if Aguero doesn't move again till Saturday. Many of those bringing him will do so on wildcard.
Which teams to get CS from next GW to end of season ??
arsenal, southampton, chelsea, west brom
Chelsea, Saints, West Brom.
Captain for this week?
Kun
carroll
ADM
PvA
ADM might be worth a punt.
Repost and off to bed
Any improvements here or just hit the WC button:
Foster (Hamer)
Terry, Wisdom, Dummett (Wasilewski and PVA ofc)
Siggy, Haz, Sanchez, Chadli, Boyd
Costa, Kun, Kane
CheersDon't get hamer for me but apart from that it's good
Myhill for Hamer - Schmeichel is due back next week. This way if Foster doesn't play you know Myhill will.
Good tip, cheers guys
- Season triumphs and disasters
Time for some DZ talk with your host oz lotto....
What is your one biggest triumph and one biggest regret this FPL season?
GO!Triumph: 7 green arrows in a row and counting
Regret: wildcarding in gw4
Triumph: Getting Terry in and from that week on, he went on to score 3 goals in 4 games.
Regret: Not captaining Costa the week where he scored a hattrick and basically everyone had captained him.
And also taking a -20 hitwow -20 you are cool
Nailing the armband during those early Costa hauls was nice.
Getting Baines and then Zabalets during the cold spells was not so nice.biggest triumph..reaching 214 OR, a personal best. biggest regret was getting rid of yaya before the christmas period for eriksen. yaya is the one player i cant stand to have in my team, i let my heart rule over my head
if i can have a second regret it would buying and captaining giroud for his red card
Triumph bringing silva in the week he started to do well and regret bringing in Reid for a 4 point hit to never play him and get rid of him the next week.
triumph: captaining Costa and Aguero for 1 of their big returns and getting pelle before his brace as a punt
regret: selling Costa for jovetic (you know the week), putting off buying aguero, taking a -12 hitTriumph: Captaining Austin 'that' week'
Regret (still going on): not having HazTriumph. Getting in early on most of the in form people, making my own decisions all the way instead of considering what other people are doing.
Regret? Selling Harry Kane for Dzeko before the Swansea game, then proceeding to get Giroud for QPR in his stead and captaining him.. Solid 60 point swing atleast that.You can't regret that Giroud decision it made sense
No, i dont regret getting him OR captaining him, that was just very unlucky for me. But that stemmed from selling Kane for Dzeko in the first place. Sigh.
Captain Costa's hat trick or Agüero 4.
Worst: too many to list. Every player I've took out has scored the following week.i think your regret is just simply that you are tony hibbert :p
Triumph - Tadic 23 + Aguero (C)
Regret - Messed up my WC early on and it didn't improve my team
Triumph - 13 green arrows and getting to 882 by Christmas.
Regret - drafting in Giroud for Rooney for boxing day and giving him the armband - cost me 40+ points and I was so on tilt I forgot to confirm my team for the next round and played Heaton away to city missing out on another 6 points......
Triumph: Captaining Aguero in GW 8 and Sanchez today
Regret: Transfering players in and out on my wildcard and losing a lot of TV
Triumph - Clawing back a crap start to be in with a shout of winning mini league.
Also Bony as a clever differential
Regret - Not buying Aguero during his 1st stint due to not wanting to sell Baines!that one hurts. but who would have known baines would be such a let down
Getting Sanchez during the De Maria mania.
Starting with two defenders who were new to their teams.
Triumph - reaching top 10
Regret - not buying Sanchez when i had the chance... This will probably cost me big in the end...
Triumph - Tadic 23, Austin(c) for hattrick
Disaster - Forgetting to swap Baird back to Wisdom before GW1. Not wiseAlso not getting Bertrand or Clyne early when I know I should have
Triumph: sticking to my original plan of wildcarding in GW7 as the fixtures swung wildly (OR ~1.6m at end GW6) and consistently using RMT for trade decisions. OR today is 441.
Regret: starting with Bojan in a rotating 3-5-2 setup.
Triumph: Captaining Aguero and Austin for there hauls
Regret: Making awful transfers for the entire Festive period (Zaba, Giroud, Tekkers...)Also selling Costa before his hat-trick for a hit, then selling him for a hit again while he went on to get another double digit haul and i got a Giroud red 🙁
Triumph - WC in GW8 resulting in rank from 200k to 12k, and creeping into top 1k few weeks ago.
Regret - Defense including Zab and Azpi returning total of 4 points in 3 gameweeks, pushing me back to 2.5kTriumphs:
Bringing Terry in instead of Azpi
Being in the top 1k in my second year playing by getting on important bandwagons before they start
Regrets:
Bringing Zabeleta in for 0 pts over 3 game weeks
Benching Kane for 18pter
Triumph: getting Baines for 40pts. in 4 GWs and selling him for Terry who got me 7 CS's and 3 goals in 10 GWs
Regret: going 20 GW's without a Chelsea midfielder
Triumph: Played wildcard in GW8 to refresh my team. And got 101 points in that GW. And now I'm in top 500 OR from 199,915 (GW7).
Regret: Already played January wildcard 🙁
Triumph: Bringing in Tadic for one gameweek (8-0) then selling straight away and wathcing as everyone else jumped on and blanked for weeks.
Regret: Getting drunk and switching the armband from Austin to Sakho the week Austin scored a hatrick.I like these. How could you sell Tadic the week after a 23 pointer though, especially with the insane price hike he got.
Biggest regret - knee-jerking to activate my January Wildcard this week instead of waiting at least till after the League Cup Semi-finals as I had originally intended - I will just have to hope that I don't lose too many points as a result and learn from the experience.
Biggest triumph - still to come, I hope.Actually, my biggest triumph so far this season has probably been starting two fairly successful mini-leagues as successors to older ones that had become defunct.
Never created my own mini-league before!
Thoughts on this WC team?
Forster (hamer)
Terry, PVA, Koscielny (Wisdom, Trippier)
Sanchez, Hazard, Chadli, Fabregas (albrighton)
Aguero, Kane, Austin
2.6 in bank
Not sure if i should trade austin and fabregas, koscielny out for costa, sterling and hutton
Fabregas to ADM
I would add another strong defender.
Thoughts on Reus > Chelsea
I've read he is going to Real Marketing?
Can he play on the right?
Chelsea need more of a Muller, imo.yeah reus on the right
don't see that happening, he'll be off to madrid
He's on his way to Madrid mate.
Hes brilliant, would be a monster signing for every team in the world.
Chelsea not allowed to buy me thinks. Financial fair play.
50, 38, 28, 20
Luiz Mata Lukaku KDB
They have whooped FFPHmm.. Mourinho said no one was coming in though.
Haha each and every one of those prices are about double what the actual players are worth. So insane that they got that kind of money.
Luiz is absurd
As is Mata/Lukaku, but yeah Luiz is absolutely shocking.
40, 38, 28, 17 actually. But you are right that Chelsea are in a solid FFP position. Plus Wolfsburg have offered €30m for Schuerrle apparently which is what makes Reus a possibility.
Rojo nailed on once he's fit?
surely
Yes
Yes, Van Gaal wants a left footer at LCB.
For sure.
wasn't planning to WC this week but have 0.0 in the bank when I pick my drft
hate dem feels
Your draft will change once again after next gameweek anyway so I wouldn't be too bothered by that 🙂
pretty set on Haz, Fab, Sanchez, Walcott, Kane, Pelle, Aguero as my front 7 from gw 23
Then you will just have to go without a premium defender.
I can fit Terry & Bertrand in at the moment.
might have to WC this week
Or rather, downgrade one of your premium defenders if you need to.
Whats stopping you from wild carding now?
well i brought ings in for a two week experiment before WC. shame to cut it short but might have to
is azpilicueata out for more than a match and will zouma start ahead of cahill, i wonder. luis has potential. in other news, i benched clyne and bertand for azpi and debuchy the wknds partimers.
Unlucky! No news on Azpi yet I am 90% Cahill will be back next GW
yeah was thinkng similar
Foster Hamer
debuchy azpi bertr clyne vananholt
sanchez hazard di maria chadli silva
costa kane berahinowho to bench. not a bad problem really.
chadli
RMWCT
Pantilimon Hamer
Terry Bertrand Wisdom PVA Wasilewski
ADM Sanchez Hazard Downing Boyd
Costa Aguero Kane
If only I had a million more then could have Heaton n Chadli over Hamer n Downing 🙁
And why are people going Bertrand over Clyne?It looks fine.
Costa or Ings in for Aguero?
I have the exact money to make the upgrade from Ings. I am relucant to do it however!
I personally would do Costa to Kun and use the funds somewhere else. Unless Ings ends up moving to a better team in Jan which usually hurts fantasy output in my experience.
On a wildcard – any and all feedback welcome… RMT
I realise it’s a weak defence though good fixtures coming up and hate 3 x Leicester players but think I need them at this stage to afford the strike force.
Pantilimon (Hamer)
Bertrand, Terry, Cameron (Wisdom, Wasllewski)
Hazard, Downing, Silva, Sanchez (Albrighton)
Kun, Kane, Costa
0.0 ITB
Any opinions here?
PVA + Foster
vs
Panti + WisdomI'd go with the Foster one as he's the most nailed on of the entire WBA defence.
I'd like all of them. Double rotation.
Thoughts on this team?
Hamer
Terry, Clyne, Bertrand
Sanchez, Hazard, ADM, Silva
Aguero, Austin, Kane
Foster, Boyd, Baird, WasilewskiYum, yum
I'd do ADM to Chadli and keep ££
Monitor between ADM Fabregas SterlingHmm I just think ADM will come good with those fixtures.. Still something to consider, cheers.
Very nice Chris. Not keen on Silva though.
Yeah, not convinced myself with Aguero back but not sure on options...Chadli perhaps.
Our teams are almost identical. I'm kicking it off with Chadli and then looking to bring in wally a week later.
Bertrand is approaching never bench never captain realm.
everyone is benchable in my opinion
no way
Or Clyne or Fonte.
Kun Owners ( who brought him in today) raise your hand.
I knw you're out here.o/ did it yesterday, woke up finding 2 injuries in my team, WC used last week
\○\

Is having Hazard Sanchez 9.0 9.0 and Boyd too heavy in midfield?
depends who the 9.0s are
No
That's what I have.
Probably common. 9.0 May not even be high enough. Not enough for the likes of ADM and Silva.
Silva & Austin -> Aguero & Boyd to catch Boyd's rise tonight?
Really want Boyd for the WC and fancy Aguero to do well vs Arsenal. Seems idiotic though. Thoughts?replied stupidly below
thanks.. i forgot to mention it is for a -4.
I do think that Silva's stock is only going to drop with Aguero's return though
Im undecided.
I have the money in the bank to do costa or ings to aguero but feel they will both outscore him
I'm off to bed now guys peace out.
peace
not at all. silva's impact FPL wise will drop now the master is back
reply to THUG LIFE
why would it? surely it increases if pelle keeps him in the hole. It decreased when he was shoved wide
historically silva hasn't scored particularly well with aguero on the field (the last 3 seasons)
Forster, Hamer
Ivan, Bertrand, Wisdom, Hutton, Wasi
Sanchez, Hazard, Chadli, Downing, Boyd,
Aguero, Costa, Kane
£1.7m ITB
Please RMWCT...any big weaknesses?
Thanks
