Our Sunday delve into the members data arrives once again this evening. We cast an analytical eye over Tottenham’s goalscoring playmaker, Palace’s in-form frontman and the Magpies’ flourishing Frenchman, whilst the worrying form of Villa’s misfiring target man and United’s skipper give cause for concern.
fabs imo
General opinion here before this GW was Terry, Haz and Fab
I have Ivan, Fab and Costa and I don't think I can drop anyone, so I'll live in constant fear of Hazard until the end of season.
Seems i'll be doing the same with Costa then...
My provisional WC for now. Never use my 5th midfielder.
Pantilimon
Bertrand Wisdom Bellerin
Sanchez Cazorla Hazard Di Maria
Aguero Costa Kane
Bench: Naylor, Baird, Lucas
Defense obviously a worry (Berllerin, Baird, Naylor, no Chelsea) but that's the price with 4 heavy mids I guess.
Might downgrade Cazorla or Di Maria when I figure out which cheap midfielder to go with and get Terry. I might even revert back to Austin!
Plan right now is to do: Cazorla>Oscar or ADM>Fabregas using my FT next week.
Poch making me wonder about keeping Kane on WC now.
The nutter.Kane's been on fire all around. Not just in the PL. Big reason I'm keeping him.
Which is the very reason you don't run him out on the wing to accomodate Soldado, FFS. Managers can quite easily ruin players.
Hopefully he see sense. Could go for Giroud and Downing over Kane and Cazorla but I like the latter at the moment. Saves a bit of cash.
Learned a thing or two from LVG about playing their best players out of their natural position.....
😯I can't believe these guys get paid what they do to be so inept. Some days I wish I didn't even bother with football. It's going to the dogs.
Managers job is simple really... put your team in the best possible position to succeed, by using each players individuals strengths in their most comfortable position.
Understand where you are coming from, almost feels like a slap in the face to all Man U
fans that have been watching Rooney for years as a #9 and now you have this dutch master trying to convert him to a #10... its a bit late for that sir...
Yeah this. He did it couple more times before. Just foolish.
He's an idiot. He wanted to play more attacking with Kane and Soldado, but instead of playing 4-42 he played Kane in the hole and almost screwed it all up.
4-4-2*
Soldado. FFS.
if it aint broke dont fix it
if it ain't broke, break it 😀
It was broke though. They lost to Crystal palace the week before. Agree he shouldnt have moved Kane though
You can't underestimate Levy's influence.
I'm not saying he picks the team but he certainly exerts influence. AVB was sacked because he wouldn't play Adebayor. Tactics Tim was sacked because he wouldn't play Lamela.
Levy bought a bunch of high priced players 18 months ago with the Bale money (Lamela, Chadli, Soldado, Eriksen, Paulinho) and he wants them played. He can't stand to be wrong.Said it time and again the brass at Spurs needs to go far before Poch.
You hava a point there, but playing Kane in midfield is mental and can't blame it on anyone else but Poch.
have*
so is playing Rooney as a #10 and ADM as a #9 LMAOO 😆
Got to hand it to Southampton. Lost so many players in the summer, new manager and had a short-team last game yet they still won. No Mane, Wanyama, Schederlin, etc.
Agreed. What a season they're having.
They really are a solid team front to back.
Always had a soft spot for them. Hope they get into Europe.
over United.

Who to ship out for Aguero.... Austin / Costa / Kane? Tricky decision.
i just shipped austin for costa. so i wudn't lose costa. austin frees up more funds than kane and his fixtures are iffy
Austin
I've been adamant about Costa's value but jeez..60% ownership..that's frightening..
call michael j fox.
Most of that are dead teams.
Not really. 68.1% in the top 10k own him: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ql7fX6JxGCrRjrRZysj42ndlDrj_ruNIoKFc6VQrOcQ/edit#gid=448393843
Wow, didn't expected that high ownership in top 10k
Yeah, me neither. It's scary. I am the 32%.
64.8% of the top 1000. Last week it was 78%. I don't think it will continue falling now. 😉
To be fair, I think not having him from weeks 8 to 17 worked well. Last 5 weeks, not so much...
Hurts not owning him. Thought I was clever going down the Hazard, Fabregas, Terry route but it didn't work. Costa burns me when I own him though...grr...
Go double Sunderland Pants and PVA or Pants And Cahill
Siggy Down
Welp I've just figured the WC out with money to spare so I'll be holding off.
Relief. 😎
I kicked Ospina out on the last day of wildcard. But if he starts again, I think Pantilimon has to go.
Risers: Phil Jones, Henderson
Fallers: Sigurdsson, Hammond
Siggy fell 😯
Cheers for this LudoJones? 🙁
I was actually considering him. Just had enough cash to get him too. Maybe it's meant to be.
Where did you get them Ludo? Still not showing up on totalfpl 🙂
Thanks for doing them!
Annoyed Jones rose..was planning to get him on WC, will have to think about shuffling!Aye, I was flabbergasted.
In the meantime I fell upon Sinik in the chat it seems
Should've gotten Jones.
Oh well. Cheers for this.
Ramsey is such a beast when he plays deeper like he did today.
Fantastic player.Best game I've seen from him in ages.
4141 crap has encouraged him to go forward while Arsene moans about him being disciplined. Run him out as the one of the deepest two in midfield and that's what you get.
Coquelin + Koscielny were the difference back there
Yeah, Kos has missed almost half the season but has 5 out of the 7 clean sheets
Pretty bad game week for me this week 🙁
Apart from the bit where Arsenal beat MC away from home to go above Spurs 😀
Horrid 😡
How's your points mate? I've got 34 🙁
Ouch!
44 (-4)
Terrible for me
An ugly 42 with Foster to play. I own Costa too!
Who else had Chester starting and was watching that game when he got subbed out? Start to a bad fantasy day, as I had Sanchez and Aguero (C) after that.
G2G in two weeks time grrhhh
Pants
PVA Jones Bertand
Sanchez(C) ADM (VC) Hazard Chadli
Aguero Costa Kane
Heaton Boyd Cahill Wisdom
WC Team:
Begovic Foster
Terry Fonte Wisdom Van Aanholt Duff
Sanchez Hazard Sigurdsson A.Johnson Boyd
Aguero Costa KaneYou looking to trade Charlie?
Sent you an offer.
How abt Ivan? Anyone except Eriksen or Rooney
I keep expecting to see you've traded Rooney 😆
The 300k man has got to pay back at some point innit.
Think he would if he wasn't played out of position. The problem is LVG is so stubborn it might be too late by then.
I wish he could open his eyes a bit.
I've decided on this team.
Foster [Hamer]
Bertrand, Terry, Wisdom [Wilkinson, Wasilewski]
Hazard, Puncheon, Sánchez, Elia [Boyd]
Agüero, Costa, Kane
Had to comprise a bit more than I wanted in the midfield but hopefully having Aguero, Costa, Kane upfront will of set that.Who would have thought the biggest success of my WC and highest scorer on my team would be Giroud 🙁
Lol I got 32 all out...
35 here. shocking week. Best thing to come out of it is saving my FT 😆
Going to plan to get Costa?
Yeah downgrade ADM and upgrade Giroud if he fires again.
Wow!
Thought I was never going to catch you this year, Insie, but you are giving me hope 🙂You're welcome... 🙁
Sorry! But I have to have my targets - and you're one of them
It won't take you long to catch me, the way things have been going for me recently 😆
You can't keep that record up. I'll have to get in the top 5k minimum
My WC teams are almost always amongst the worst scoring of my seasons. I always want another WC the next week. 🙂
The value comes through in the following games though so good times to come for youYeah heres hoping that proves true again alright.
My only attacking return comes from Fab 🙁
WC failWC fail is right. Here's hoping the players kick on from here and COsta stays quiet 😆
A Costa owner here who still only got 42
Wow even with Costa. I guess Id probably still be complaining if I owned him aswell 😆
32 with only Foster to come. I think wild cards should be banned 😆
I concur 😆
Doubled my OR - from 5k to 10k 🙁
i agreed with you then and agree with you now..
i posted several times a kun blank was inevitable, bringing him in this gw was prematureNah! Ahead of the WC is the way so you get the price rises and have a chance to build a different team if he fails / gets injured
Nice one. I can't believe what a difference Coquelin seems to be making.
Makes me want to invest in the Arsenal defence. Are Ospina and/or Bellerin likely to keep their places?
RMT please
Krull/Panti
Terry, Skrtyl, Monreal, Jones, Wasilewski
Sanchez, Oscar, Downing, Silva, Boyd
Aguero, Costa, Kane
Please tear it apart
Which players are likely to double rise before next gameweek?
Elia
Elia and maybe Puncheon
Thanks all.
Foster, Myhill
Terry, Clyne, Wisdom, Wasil, PVA
Sanchez, ADM, Hazard, Boyd, Johnson
Costa, Aguero, Kane
0.0m in account.
1ft. Any changes?
Really bad week AGAIN.
My 1st WC has been a fail. Aguero a let down.
More patience would have been ideal.
Expected much bigger price changes last week too which makes the WC choice even worse.
My team last week would have killed my WC team this week.
At least I went with Costa over Austin (very lucky to change last minute )Like that team alot. Save the FT.
I also have Boyd and long term thinking of shipping him to a 4.2 mid. I never ply him. Those extra 0.1's can rally help in defence
Mates, what is this LAWR league I keep hearing about?
Underground fight club?
First rule of LAWR......
Oooooh elusive, not I'm intrigued. Please do tell!
Click my FPL link for more info.
Ah, cheers TM.
Must need some serious credentials to join that league then eh?
A league ( & cup) set up by Doos & Ginkapo.
I see, thanks Gnu. Guessing it has some strict requirements to join then
Just a case of asking I guess, wouldn't be till next season now though.
WIll do mate thanks.
Darn, needed another big ML to motivate me
Cheers
Should I bring in Ospina for Forster? Currently doubled up on soton with Bertrand in def.
RMWCT:
Pant - Krul
Terry - Kosc - Fonte - Wisdom - PVA
Hazard - Sanchez - Chadli - ADM - JWP
Aguero - Kane - Giroud
Would have 0,0 itb. and would def make a better team for next gw.
Hit the button?
WC week and cant decide. thoughts?
a) forster, clyne and Punchy
b) forster, rojo and Elia
c) DDG, clyne and eliaI've got my doubts over Elia.
He was never prolific before and not many come to the premiership and up their scoring rate. You could also argue the keeper should have saved one and the other was a deflection.
In other words ....... Acheers
WTF happened to City today? Soooo glad i had Kun(c), Silva, and Zaba. Zaba is the new Baines.
Guess Yaya is that important to them. Wow.Manchester City have played 4 games without Toure this season and have not one one of them
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/11353942/Manchester-City-0-Arsenal-2-Five-things-we-learnt-from-the-Etihad-as-Gunners-record-excellent-win.html*won
one one 😀
I know! its early!
good excuse to play the WC and cut losses on them. thanks for the article
Even knowing that i will keep with Aguero though. Time to dump a Zaba and maybe even Silva if holding them
You know, watching the game, it definitely seems as though they miss Yaya. He's such a presence in the middle of the park.
They must get him a cake this year.
Ha, exactly!
Thinking of bringing in an Arsenal defender. Does Monreal posses any nailed-on-ness? They've only lost 2 of the 13 games where he's played 90 minutes. They've had 7 clean sheets this season in the EPL, and he's played 90 minutes in 5 of them.
At 4.8 he looks good for the kind fixtures ahead. But, will he play?Baps magnet too. Big rotation risk with Gibbs around though.
Thanks Innsie, may try to work Kosch in. Really don't want any surprises if I go for an Arsenal defender.
no one knows for sure
Thanks, think I'm going to steer clear.
get ospina?
GTG? using WC
Forster
Cameron - Berty - Clyne - Jones
ADM - Downing - Alexis
Kane - Costa - Ings
Hamer - Terry - Punchy - Hazard
the reason for benching Hazard is because I don't imagine him doing much vs city
Hazard over Cameron, obviously.
but stoke have a good defence and are home against a struggling QPR and Haz is against city and has failed to live up to standards recently
Cameron isn't even nailed-on. Came on for 5 mins during the last game.
i can afford muniesa or Wollscheid, would one of them be better?
I think you are crazy to bench Terry and Hazard at home!!
even against city?
City did just lose 0-2 to Arsenal at home. IMO Chelsea at home will be much tougher.
Terry is understandable, Hazard is madness. He's the next best captaincy choice after Alexis
wow.... cameron not nailed and even if he was you play hazard over him 100%,downing has bad fixtures, triple southampton is a bad idea and look how to get aguero in.
i think stoke have a better chance of keeping a cs that hazard has a chance of doing something vs city and if he doesn't play then haz will come on, liverpool have a shaky defence so i think downing will cause problems and vs. swansea at home southampton have a really good change of keeping a cs
a WC should not be one week only, you have to look at the big picture.
but in defence i still have terry berty and vlyne who have very good cs records, and in mids i have alexis haz punchy and ADM
Hazard bench... I wouldn't risk it
are you saying that i should play him?
Chelsea are always tight in big games, I would play JT.
who should i drop then?
Who do you think will win in this Cup round???
Me: 46 + Baines to play
Opponent: 44 + Wisdom & Foster to play
Evidently it depends on whether WBA keep a CS. I'm hoping they do, since I have wisdom, but I'd say it's 50/50 as to who wins your H2H.
9 years, 5 months agoAs i expect almost everyone has 3 Chelsea players, my thought's were, which 3 do people believe is the trio?
I currently own: Terry, Fabs and Hazard. I have no idea who to drop if Costa hits form again
