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 , Wisdom-
A - 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 Chadli-
ADM 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)
Thanks-
A
-
-
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 today-
That more like it , so when is Rojo fit
i only want him for 2 gmeweeks-
he'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 cs-
i just want for 2 weeks until wildcard
Smalling was worse today wasnt he? and Blind would move out of defence when Rojo back-
I 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 WC-
Just 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 mid-
Anyone?
-
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 worker-
I 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 points-
Yeah. If I do Forster I won't really have a slot free in midfield though.
-
-
-
A) Terry Gardos 3.9
B) Clyne Jones Pieters-
or 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 / Kane-
ADM
-
Like it
-
-
Wow...
Probably ADM. I know that sounds silly but you could make a strong case to start any player there-
Thks 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 & Aguero-
I 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, Aguero-
Prefer 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
-
