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.
If you still have your original wildcard (as I do), how do you make sure that when you click 'Play wildcard' that it uses the January transfer window wildcard, and not your discretionary one?
Auto picks the Jan one
It picks the January WC automatically.
It will play the Jan one automatically
Thanks all. I'll click with confidence then.
Help
A - stick
B - RVP to Aguero for a hit
C - push wildcard button , even though really can't be arsed with all that this week
Foster
Ivan , Zabaleta , Trippier
Adm , Hazard , Sanchez , Sterling
RVP (c) , Austin , Kane
Mannone , Boyd , Caulker , WisdomA - stick
a stick
B
Bench is: Austin, Clyne and Bertrand
Ouch
Phew, that's nasty
Whats the consensus on Aguero?
Get him in now or go without for a week or 2 more?Gonna wait and see
If you're going to get him in for costa you may as well do it now.
Wait if it's not in for RVP, I'd get if it is though.
He could run amok against Arsenal
I got for Costa on my WC last night.
The label on my medication says KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN. I haven't seen my kids for 3 days now and I'm feeling much better.

Ok where are you getting this gold dust from?
sadfaceotter on twitter. worth a follow. i just started. quite the back catalogue 🙂
😆
Ba dum, pish!
I just took a 4 point hit to do..
Zabaleta -> Bertrand & Benteke -> Aguero
Should I hit the WC button and make 1 or 2 minor changes or just take the hit? This will be my side without the WC..
Pantilimon
Bertrand Terry Baines (Hutton Wailewski)
Hazard Fabregas Siggy Sanchez (Boyd)
Kane Aguero Austin
Depends on the changes but looking at your team I'd say u might as well save the WC
Gilks -> Foster
Fabregas -> ADM
Not sure what else..
Pretty good team
Not much else to worry about in that side this week so I would stick.
1 FT..0.7 ITB..what should I be looking at changing or perhaps use the wildcard?
Hart Gilks
Azpi Hutton Colocini Trippier Wisdom
Sanchez Hazard Sterling Silva Siggy
Rooney Austin Kane
YAYA?! who shall i replace him with:?:
Foster Pantilimon
Bertrand Vlaar Cresswell Ivanovic Wisdom
Sánchez Downing Hazard Yaya Touré Boyd
Costa Kane Austin
£3.4m
I'm thinking ChadliADM imo..
did he look good today?
He wasn't played in his preferred position but he's likely to be at heart of the goals United do get imo..
Naturally want to say Di Maria but heard united were uninspiring today so can understand a few would be put off.
First Draft of my team on the JAN WC, thoughts please!
Forster/Gilks
Bertrand-Terry-Wisdom-Naylor-Hutton
Downing-Sanchez-Hazard-Chadli-Boyd
Kane-Aguero-Costa
1.1 ITB. Appreciate all thoughts!
Mid looks light to me but that's the problem with Aguero and Costa...
Wildcard dilemma:
A) terry, Cesc, Austin
Or
B) Ivan, Boyd, Costa (Boyd as 5th and Downing as 4th mid)
ThanksA
Everything look OK here?
____________Foster____________
Bertrand_____Trippier____Debuchy
Hazard_Di Maria__Chadli_Sanchez
Kane________Costa________Kun
Subs: Ospina, Boyd, PVA, Baird
Very similar to my team,looks good to go
Hold on debuchy is injured
Sorry Debuchy is meant to be Terry...transferred him out
Don't like Kane and Kun playing so wide.
Worth using WC or wait another week? 🙂
Guzan - Mannone
Azpi - Zab - Wisdom - Naylor - Moore
Sanchez - Silva - Hazard - Downing - Marney
Austin - Costa - Aguero
I will ask again, any sensible reson why i shouldnt get Jones of utd
Injury prone?
as I said on the previous page
because he's an injury waiting to happen and frankly I'm not 100% convinced he's nailed once Rojo is back fit
Smalling was much better than him todayThat more like it , so when is Rojo fit
i only want him for 2 gmeweekshe's fit now, but needs match fitness
If it's a short term punt before you wc then go for it, but I wouldn't want him long term
Nah keep, some nice fixtures.
He's a good choice. If I had space he'd be one of the options
There isn't really Triggs, he's a fairly reasonable choice if you fancy MUN's CS potential with the upcoming fixtures. And easy to hop off if its not looking fruitful - providing you can spare the transfer.
I regret bringing him in on W/C, just yielding 2 points. Hope the next fixtures work out better. I'd prefer Skyrtel versus Villa. BP magnet.
Clumsy injury prone
And manu hardly keeping csi just want for 2 weeks until wildcard
Smalling was worse today wasnt he? and Blind would move out of defence when Rojo backI can see QPR scoring vs manu . Personally I would avoid
I disagree tbh, Smalling was good, Pelle is the sort of striker Smalling likes. The fact that he only had to pass the ball 5 yards helps
Very little goal threat.
And that is a high price to pay for a defender in a team whom halfway through the season still dont really know how they work as a team together.
But that said if money isnt really an issue, which it might not be, its not ridiculous.if it's a goal threat defender from United you want then Smalling is the man to get
He's made of bread sticks.
He does seem a reasonable punt at that price but there's not a lot evidence to back it. However, He's on my watchlist from GW23 onwards.
Just Leicester and QPR thats all i want him for. Just want to know if he nailed
because;
Phil Jones made his customary surging runs forward, with all the restraint and composure of a young farmhand being pursued downhill by his own, runaway tractor and faced with the imminent prospect of having to hurl himself over a dry stone wall into a pigsty.Apart from his face? They look reasonably solid but it is a punt.
Anything to alter for WC... thanks
Foster, Krul
wisdom PVA Clyne Terry Cameron
Cesc Haz Sanchez DiMaria. Downing
Austin Aguero Kane
Seems fairly template...
Team is
Krul Foster
Clichy Zab Hutton Lescott Duff
Siggy Sanchez Hazard Silva Marney
Falcao Costa Kane
1 FT , 0.2 itb
A) Zab + Falcao --> Tripper (punt before WC next week) + Augero
B) Clichy --> Bretrand
C) Use WCJust do Clichy to Bert and save Falcao assuming that he is Ok for this GW... backline does look a bit iffy though so if you decided to WC wouldnt blame you
For a 1/2 week punt prior to WC
Out - Moore/Zabeleta (Zab likely to drop in price)
In - Skirtel/Bertrand/Terry /Cresswell
Berti, JT
Thanks. Moore or Zab out? Currently starting Zab, Hutton, Baines.
Whats the deal with Tadic then lads?
Minutes have been limited as of late
Elia really keeping him out the team?
Contemplating Tadic over Adm as fourth midAnyone?
Might start now after impact today but not a risk I would take until he's nailed on again.
Really struggling to choose between Bertrand and Clyne-just feel Clyne is a better option but nothing to back it up other than gut feel.....
Best single GK till end of season ?
A Panti
B Foster
C Forster
D Ospina
Definitely not B or D.
Torn between A and C myself.why not B? Because of Wisdon or Baird?
Not just that. A keeper doesn't rotate (Wisdom / Baird would be rotated). We're all thinking WBA will be good because of Pulis but they weren't anywhere near that before.
Panti/Forster are proven assets.
C.
The statistics on errors leading to shots reveal as much. Remarkably, while United are among the most error-prone teams in the Premier League, no other side has conceded fewer goals from mistakes. Van Gaal’s men were going unpunished and that was unsustainable. Worryingly, those mistakes are a direct result of their style of play
Filoshofee.
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11096/9641881?yup, it's been it coming for a while, our errors leading to chance why was incredibly high. At some point we were bound to be punished
DDG is brilliant, he is not a miracle workerI know I'm a Pool supporter and unbiased but ye are very lucky to be in the position ye are 🙂 They say the sign of a good team is grinding out results when playing poor but not in this case 😉
Panti or Forster? Assuming that price isn't a factor.
Panti has 4.9 PPG while Forster has 4.1 (though Panti only came in from GW10 onwards).leaning towards Panti at the moment
Forster at 5.4, might as well get Berti or Clyne for potential attacking pointsYeah. If I do Forster I won't really have a slot free in midfield though.
A) Terry Gardos 3.9
B) Clyne Jones Pietersor C) Clyne Luis Cameron
Pieters went off injured today. Not sure how bad.
Can't believe I forgot that, thanks.
Best Defender for 5.4 or less for the next 5 GW?
Fonte. For next 17 gameweeks.
.2 more sorry
Had Clyne since GW 4. Would u double up with Fonte?
Gardo
2 ft, 0.1m itb.
Adrian, Foster
Zabaleta, Azpi, Debuchy, Hutton, S.Taylor
Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Sterling, Siggy,
Costa, Austin, Kane
Currently considering the following before WC'ing before G23:
A. Creswell & Jenkinson for Azpi & Debuchy.
B. Aguero & Wasilewski for Costa & Debuchy
C. Something else.
What do you all think?
Cheers guys!!Azpi prolly play (hopefully)
Debuchy wait for news.
Aguero priority!Debuchy's looks bad. If i do C i'll have to do it before 2am. Was probs going up
Silva(ARS) - Chadli(SUN) - Sanchez(mci) - Hazard(new) - AdM(qpr)
Costa(new) - Ings(CPL) - Kane(SUN)
who would you bench for the gw.. already did alderweireld(on my wc, i did him instead of bertrand....) to guess who.... Bertrand 😀Wow that's tough! Chadli probably
all should start
GW22
Bench one please...
Sanchez / Hazard / Silva / ADM / Downing
Aguero / Austin / KaneADM
Like it
Wow...
Probably ADM. I know that sounds silly but you could make a strong case to start any player thereThks a lot
Ive Cesc instead of Silva and I've Austin on Bench...
Austin or ADM... big big big question
Thks
Just took a 4 point hit. How does it look?
Zabaleta & Benteke -> Bertrand & AgueroI like it
Hold Zaba one more week... unless u need money to by Sergio
Really unsure whether to use WC this week or not, had a good score this week.
Leave it for another week? 🙂
Used mine purely so I can still afford the inevitable Aguero hike
GW 23... wait one more week
Panicked and pushed the flashing wildcard button... What are your thoughts?
Foster/Guzan
Cliche, Terry, Bertrand, Hutton, Duff
sanchez, Silva, Hazard, downing, Wanyama
Kane, Berahino, AgueroPrefer Berahino to Ausin/Ings?
Other than that looks good.Wouldn't be bringing in the likes of Berahino Duff, Wanyama on a WC. But fixtures good I suppose
Dont like Duff Wanyama or Berahino or double up on Villa(would prefer WBA double up) personally...
Mike Ashley should appoint Ronald Koeman as head coach. Period
Haha, good one
