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're looking to invest in Southampton, bear in mind that Monday's game in Manchester was the first of 3 long away trips in a week.
They travel to Ipswich for an FA Cup replay mid week then up to Newcastle. They may be a bit knackered by the Newcastle game.
They may also, I don't know, rest a few players...
They will, though I reckon they'll quite fancy the cup this year. They can't rest all the players and even some of those they want to rest may travel. Just saying that Saints may not be out of the woods quite yet.
I dont mind at all, they nulify Arsenal and United attacking force
Clyne or Bertrand? Bertrand looks better in the compare players department imo
Both good options flip a coin
ty!
Whoever hit 5,8m first. Bertrand it is!
Clyne was injured and lost a bit of value bare in mind if it was Bertie injured it would have been the other way round
I meant for who sold them already and dont own either atm.
I tend to like Clyne, but Bertrand price rise makes me lean toward him
ty!
RMWCT
Forster/Panti
Wisdom, PVA, Cahill, Ward, Bertrand
Downing, Haz, Fab, Sanchez, Boyd
Kane, Austin, Aguero
How does this look? Plans on getting Alder spoiled yesterday, and too much of a chicken to get Gardos.. Getting Cahill instead of JT as a differential, is he just as nailed on as he used to be?
Planning to double up on SOT-def when they have nice fix with bert+forster.Getting Cahill instead of JT as a differential,
Stupid phone...
Getting Cahill instead of JT as a differential,
😆
Holy moly
Stupid phone...
Getting Cahill instead of JT as a differential, ~ sorry, but this is so laughable
Just get JT
Your three posts are very laughable...
just because i wrote multiple "
just because i wrote multiple "less-than" sign, chimpy 😕
Did you use a " < "?
Yes Billy
Just leave a space after it in future. Otherwise the comments system reads them as html tags and doesn't show anything until after the tag ends with the " > "
Hmmm, noted
Cheers BG
Hahaha, bloody phones eh. Well, Terry has scored a couple of goals lately, but i doubt he´ll keep this pace up. A bit sharper than Cahill attacking wise i guess. But everyone in my ML will have JT.
Thanks for the input man 🙂Not because of his goals mate. All about his nailedoness
Gotcha. Thanks 🙂

Hazard Sanchez ADM Downing Boyd
Aguero Pelle Kane
3m ITB which iv kept aside for Walcott----> Downing.
Cheers.
Morning all. Any defenders worth a hit over playing Wisdom you think? What do you prefer?
A. Play Wisdom
B. Clyne/Bertrand (-4)
C. Baines (-4)
Baines could pay off, but Everton have been a bit ropey as you know.
I am a Baines owner, so looking forward to seeing if they can play as well as they did against Citeh.Evertons form make me keep wisdom on the field 🙂 SOT-def is tempting though.
Id say A.Play Wisdom? I think Everton will score but been finding clean sheets hard to come by and Wisdom may be involved in any Baggies goals.
Thank you all!
WC Draft
Krul Elliot
Terry Gardos Bert Wisdom Waselski
Sanchez Hazard Downing Silva Boyd
Aguero Costa Kane
1.0itbUpgrade Gardos to a Saints def that you know is secure with the left over money.
Anyone managed a strong team with both Costa and Aguero? Very reluctant to drop Costa at the moment.
Aye im happy with mine
Oh, you have Costa as well... I know who I'd rather own between him and Sanchez.
What's your team KOL?
Krul Foster
Pva Dummet Hutton Wisdom Terry
ADM Hazard Tadic Boyd Walcott
Aguero Costa KaneSilva over Walcott for now
Happy without Sanchez?
Not one bit ha
I'd rather go Austin, Sanchez than Costa, Tadic
Forster Hamer
Clyne Terry PVA Hutton Baird
ADM Sanchez Haz Chadli Boyd
Aguero Costa Kane
Not sure if you think it's strong or not but this is what I'm going withThat's just out of my price range, think being a bit late to get Kane has cost me.
Just get a cheaper goalie than Forster?
Without Fabregas, ADM and Silva. So is that still strong...
Foster Hamer
Clyne Fonte wisdom Hutton Wsilewski
Fab haz chadil sanchez (albrighton)
Aguero Costa Kane
yeah happy with mine.
Panti - Heaton
Hutton - Wisdom - Berty - Clyne - Cresswell
ADM - Sanchez - Hazard - Boyd - Downing
Costa - Kun - Kane
Nope. Can only manage it with Siggy as 4th mf and cheap defence. I'm sacrificing him for Terry and Fabs.
This fits the bill, although im not sure if its any good
De Gea / Hamer
PVA Terry Clyne Reid Wisdom
Chadli Downing Hazard Sanchez Ward-Prowse
Kane Aguero Costa
I have Kun, Costa, ADM, Haz, Sanchez, and Terry, then I have a fairly OK cheap set of rotating defenders that I'm pretty happy with.
All i need yesterday was RvP to outscore Sanchez 🙁 At 11.4 I cant bring him into my team without wrecking it else where. This is going to be a hard second half to the season.
You have RVP? Surely that's a really easy route to getting him? Or is he a placeholder for Kun?
Yeah RvP is now Kun
You didnt get him all season?
Last night is the first time ever Sanchez in my team 😆I had him before his injury then just didnt get him back in 🙁
Alexis injury? When it happened? 😯
It was sept/oct time
I've missed his 141 points all season, so frustated as an Arsenal fan 🙁
At leats youre and Arsenal fan. I dont even like them 🙂
Ive just checked it
Ankle injury - 75% chance of playing just for 2 days on October
Bad luck KOL 🙁
Really struggling to pick a WC team.
Defence especially.
Is their a standard WC team? or any defenders considered essential?
Standard template is:
Terry, Bert/Clyne, Wasi, PvA, WisdomThis
Not that I am fan mind.I like it, Terry and Bert will play nearly every week
Then pick one of the 3 cheapiesCheers guys, PVA a bargain at 4.2m.
Will I hold my WC a little long?
For a hit I can get Trippier and Kun in for Austin & Azpi
Would leave me with:
Guzan,
Baines, Zabaleta, Trippier
Hazard, Sanchez, Downing, Boyd (Siggy)
Kun (C), Kane, Costa
Thanks 🙂
Yeah I would save it.
Will I do the hit?
I wouldn't. Azpi to Terry possible?
this triple chelsea pick is hard 🙁
terry,
fab, haz
or
fab,haz,
costo
help me please hmm
Me
Terry Ivan
HazardI went for the costa option
Terry, Hazard, Costa. Maybe these tales of Fab running out of gas in January are keeping me away.
Gone - Terry Haz Costa.Its ok
hay girls, RVP or Azpili out ?
A)Azpili>JT
B)RVP>Aguero
team are;
Guzan
Azpili* BDavies Wisdom
Hazard Alexis Silva Fabregas
Kane Austin RVP
Elliott Naylor SDavis Duffid probably wildcard
u'd. i'dnt
I'd WC too
Guzan Elliot RVP Azpi Davies Naylor Duff Davis out!
You dont even have 3 decent defenders mateyor i could hold on for 1 more week, and hit that WC when the int break kicks in.
Kick Downing out of YWCT
Why? Hull.
Morning all.
Please RMT if possible. It might be pretty template I'm not sure
De Gea / Hamer
PVA Terry Clyne Reid Wisdom
Chadli Downing Hazard Sanchez Ward-Prowse
Kane Aguero Costa
All your advice is appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Looks good pretty template which is not a bad thing imo. Like the Wp pick for 5 th mid but not sold on Downing after this week
Yea West Hams run really does drop off, and ill be stuck with downing and reid. Good point!
Cheaper mf to get Costa. I currently lost Costa to have 4 very strong midfielders.
Anyone else waiting till GW24 to bring in Aguero??
Didn't dare wait.
My poor TV has cost me a lot, RMWCT, zilch in the bank:
Panti Krul
Terry Fonte Cameron Wisdom Wasikowski
Sanchez ADM Hazard Fabs Albrighton
Aguero Ings Kane.
Better to have Gardos/Boyd over Fonte/Albrighton? Could save .2 to upgrade to Alder when needed.Wisdom to PVA
Panti/Krul to Foster/Myhill
this frees a little cash upNot to bad would go pva over Cameron
Only avoided him as I'lloyds be playing Panti a lot, not sure about double up...
Yeah could do. What to do with the cash, upgrade Albrighton?
Would just save, those 0.1's come in usefull later
You will have to use a tranny to get him put anyway. Very poor fixtures around the corner.
Hi everyone
So is Benteke to Kane the most obvious transfer ever this week??Definitely a good tf
I'm keeping. Liver pool awful at defending corners
Yes. And Captain him.
Happy with this I think?
Pants
Terry Bertrand Fonte wisdom wassi
Sanchez hazard ADM Chadli Boyd
Kun Costa kane.
Anything need changing?Nice team, looks fine
Thanks Sab still unsure of Costa over fab
Terry, Haz, Costa is nice. Has done me v well so far
You could do with a 2nd GK 😉
Yeah it's hamer atm no money for a rotation. I rate pantillimon I had a rotation and kept benching his points
Is it worth getting a Hull defender?
No unless it's Bruce for a 5 th d
My current team:
Foster/Krul
Terry/Baines/Zab/Naylor/Wisdom
Sanchez/Hazard/Eriksen/Silva/Marney
Costa/Austin/Kane
Worth WCing for this?
Foster/Heaton
Terry/Bertrand/PVA/Wisdom/Naylor
Sanchez/Hazard/Fabregas/ADM/Boyd
Aguero/Austin/KaneYes worth a WC. Not sold on Ntaylor in there
Who would you go with?
Go with the Gardos until Toby is back then switch back to Naylor maybe
Already got Bert. reckon the double up is worth it? I'm always reluctant on a WC to bring in players I am planning to ditch.
I think it is but I can understand not wanting a 3 week player
All set for this week? Benching order right? Used a -4 for Aguero so the wildcard is still intact for the end of Jan.
Defence selection is tricky this week.
Adrian
Terry Hutton Wisdom
Hazard Sanchez Silva Downing
Aguero Costa Kane(c)
Hamer, Boyd, Vergini, N.TaylorWouldn't captain Kane this week
Why not?
Choose the one you think will score the most points in the nxt 11 GWKs
A. Fab
B. TadicA
A
Silva or ADM? already have Aguero but no UTD cover
ADM|
ADM (says an ADM owner)
Does anyone think Debuchy injury would merit holding on to Chambers?
I ditched Chambers on WC just before the game. and I'm massively wishing I had not. If you have him, keep him
Yes, keep him now if you're other defenders can cover his absence
Nah, get rid.
He is a part player now... At his price there are better options IMO.Sorry to clarify. He may play, but would get rid on a WC for example.
May not be the most important transfer until then.
All this WC template defence shebang is confusing me a bit
If I understand correctly, 'we' are banking on returns from Leicester and Burnley in GW 22, and God knows who in GW 23 (Stoke are home to QPR and OK, cameron's name keeps popping up, Hull are home to NEW but I don't see Hull defenders in the template.......)
From GW24 all is fine and dandy, but there are gonna be some glum faces the next 2 weeks (mine included, I'm on a WC and don't quite know which way to jump)
Well Heaton with his saves are the only Burnley def Im interested(I've owned him since GW 5).
Leic are useless I think, people just getting Wasiface as enabler I think.What's your back 5, Christina ? (assuming you're WC is still to come)
Im on my WC as I type this...
*farts
*sips coffee and waits for more news*
Yep Wasi is in my squad as the 5th defender who played last week, prob this week then in all likelihood wont get near the first 11 for a long time
Im considering Baird/Bruce over Wasi but I guess they aren't nailed on.
Baird is a nice shout. Tempted to switch Wasi later if he nails starts
I've been toying with exactly that pair, but the lack of baird love on here had me assuming it was a one week wonder. Similar problem with Bruce, as when the DC's return to fitness down Hull way then you gotta assume he's toast
Then you're left with one, maybe two non-playing 3.9'ers
That said, i think I might go with em 🙂One of those are enough for me.
Ah, OK
Cheers
For the removal of doubt, you'll bring em in this week to first play in GW23?
YEah, but I'm probably going to just go with one 4.5m keeper which will allow me to avoid the 3.9m defenders and have Pva as my cheapest def at 4.2m.
Ta
Any Pieters news? Only just seen this morning that he got injured!
Oh sh!t c@k3s.
He was in my WC squad.
Which team is most likely to keep a CS this week?
Spurs.
West Ham
Panty/ Hamer
Ivanovic Berty Hutton Wisdom Bruce
ADM Hazard Alexis Downing Albrighton
Costa Kun Austin
Not sure what else I can do with this? Was tempted to keep Austin over Costa, but fixtures aren't great for QPR and Costa could always run riot at some point.I think Downing --> Chadli would be a nice move this week.
excuse my silly question but If I activate my WC now, I still can do unlimited transfers until this saturday morning (before the new GW starts) right?
That's correct.
thank you sir
