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.
Best mid-priced midfielders?
Need to pick 3rd, 4th and 5th mid on WCT for a total of £18.2 (Already have Downing 6.1 and Sterling 8.3).
?? Your defence and forwards must be ridiculously expensive?
You should have Sanchez and either Fab or Haz but you don't even have enough for them
my 5th is Lucas at 4.3 nailed no assts/goals though.
How do u have so little money?
Johnson, Puncheon, Walters I guessAguero, Costa, Sanches, Hazard draines the pot.
In other words, you guys are telling me to downgrade one of them? But who?
Trippier to Bellerin or Jones
Why trippier out?
burnley can't defend
He gets assists tho!
last season and this GW..
Jones gets a lot of bonus points, and Bellerin is a cheap route to arsenal defence
Jones
Jones, Bellerin is great, but not nailed with Chambers sniffing around the first team.
Isn't it a massively unfair advantage to receive the kick-off in overtime?
Agree - its as if the coin toss decides the winner
The luck of the coin toss. Pro ball differs from college ball in its OT rules. In college ball both teams run their offense until one outscores the other
It used to be much worse when a field goal won it even for the first team.
This. The rule change makes overtime fine in my opinion. If your defense can't step up and prevent an 80 yard touchdown drive on the first possession in overtime you deserve to lose.
Strange sport. When I flicked over, there were 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter. 20 minutes later, there's 10 sconds left in the 4th quarter...
In American Football, the players have the ability to manipulate time, Inception style.
Yep. Why dont they just do spot kicks from about 40 yards?
Most american footballers dont kick so would be quite exciting.
Anyone else smell something fishy?..?
Greenbay fooking threw that game
Fixthought crossed my mind - last TD in normal time seemed to happen too easily
And the 2 pt conversion.
The on side kick fook up.
The interception dive
No fooking safety at the end
3rd and 19 conversion?.
Hmmmm
Nah, the fix was the Cowboys making it to Green Bay the previous round, beneficiaries of the worst officiating ever. Green Bay just flat out choked at the end of today's game 🙁
Doesn't matter when you throw a game like that away you don't deserve to win.
The mother of all comebacks. It's time to party in Pioneer Square. PS. Weed is legal here.
Lost on last page, pick one from:
1) Oscar
2) Sterling
3) Tadic
Oscar
1-
Oscar.... is the CORRECT ANSWER!!
Chadli > Elia will backfire right?
It might work, Elia very good and lot of injured mids in Southampton
Absolutely.
Not over the next few GW i believe, maybe over the season.
Jerk it, you know you want to 🙂
near bottom of last page- some may find these stats interesting:
Of the top 10k, by mid-day Saturday:
28% had used their wildcard
71.8% still had theirs
0.2% were active
It would be interesting to know the current 'active' %? Has Aguero's performance today made a lot of people hold off?
You would think so. Plus no obvious bandwagons.
Tempted to play it now... Hard to know.. How can i see tonights risers and fallers lads?
fplstats are the most accurate
Repeat post: Oscar or Fabs?
Both?
Already have Haz and Terry. So only one?
Fabs by miles. Nailed on to start
fab
Is Oscar not nailed on after some great games?
The allusive hot topic. Thanks Ginkapo
Ruth dropping truth bombs
Until the w/e, I thought Oscar was rotated often but looking at his pitch time, he's only missed 4 games and rarely subbed before 75 minutes.
i think owning him means you need to (a) watch the starting lineup news pre-match when Chelsea play Saturdays and (b) have a dead-cert 5th mid / 3rd striker
Courtois will play against Man City right?
Chelsea play 3 times before City game so a lot can happen
good point I think I really jumped the gun.
Who's to say? No rush with the results Chelsea are having with Cech in the team.
You can save 1.5m by going with someone like Foster or Krul. Save points will nearly match Courtois' returns.
don't think so.
cech kept 3 CS in a row after courtois conceded 5 in one match.
the cynics might say Cech getting a nice january run out to keep him at the club
yeah, heard that. but i believe there's no coincidence he's been dropped after conceding 5.
most don't agree, you right
How nailed on is Elias?
I have a friend called Elias. Not sure he's nailed on.
We don't know. Probably nailed for the next 2 GW's at least.
he is koeman's favourite.
nailed on at least until mane back
The latest blog. If you're an arsenal fan...
http://hindumonkey.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/five-things-we-learnt-this-weekend-kind.html?m=1In relation to my post on the last pg. Option A it is
Panti, Krul
Terry, Clyne, Bruce, Bellerin, Wisdom
Hazard, Sanchez, Sterling, A.Johnson, Puncheon
Costa, Aguero, Bojan

Darts
Baseball (unless I'm at the game)F1
anything throwball
anything basketballNFL and F1 are competitions but I get what you mean.
But on this, Motor "sport" isnt sport. If man powers bike (tour de France) thats a sport. If engine powers bike, its not sport. A 30 stone man could never out run me, but they could drive faster. Thats just stupid.
Gold is half a sport. Tom watson was leading the open aged about 67 a few years back on last day. Thats just stupid.
To be sport, a natural advantage should lie with younger overolder, men over women, ffit over unfit etc. Darts, F1, show jumping, not sports.
Sailing = folding bed sheets into wind
Archery = big darts
Equestrian = only sport for the horse
Curling = mopping
F1 = marathon for guys too lazy to run
Of proper sports, worst for me are
1. Rugby
2. Ice hockey
3. Throwing events in athleticsSo you dont agree with Lewis Hamilton winning SPOTY?
Uch thats a pile of pi5h award anyway, but no, I dont agree ge is a sportsman.
Your problem with Rugby is?
Its just boring. Half the battle is who can eat the most
you have to be young and fit to be a f1 driver
But do you power the vehicle like a cyclist?
And is the car not a huge factor in who wins?
yes it is. i don't like F1 either. just wanted to point out you cannot be a5 30 stone 67 year old f1 driver
1. Cricket
2. Rugby, American football etc. (anything with a ball that isn't round)
3. Cars going round and round a track seemingly forevercricket seems to be getting a lot of mentions but i feel sorry for anyone who can't recognise the genius in what AB de Villiers did today
Special knock from a special man. Will go down as one of the greatest
Being Scottish, Im not a cricket fan, but it beats baseball anyday and can be ok in world cup at least
Agree so much with this. AB was unbelievable
Well I hope he's better at cricket than he was at managing Tottenham.
There's probably nothing wrong with the sport, I just can't be bothered to get into it. And they go on about it on the radio all the time
1. NFL
2. Baseball
3. Boxing1.F1 2. Curling 3. Woman's football.
1. Triathlon (or any running past 50 km) 2. Ice-dancing (or any dancing) 3. Sailing or Cricket
1. Tennis
2. Snooker
3. Handball
We don't have darts or cricket on TV here, 2 extremely boring sports.Handball isn't all that bad to be honest.
It isn't, but I never watch it when it's on TV...I used to, but I guess it all depends on how good your local teams or national team is doing.
Where is here? Tennis is one of the best individual sports there is imo
Here is SLO 🙂 I can't watch tennis, because it's too long and I don't think it offers enough entertainment for me to sit in front of a TV and watch the whole game.
Amercan's love sports that they can tune in and out of, like football and baseball. You can go eat 5 hot dogs and down 3 Coors and make it back before the next quarter starts.
Actually, you can have those delivered to you at your seat in the stadium. Not that anyone actually drinks Coors... 🙂
Who do you think will score the most point tomorrow in UFPL? And who has the highest ceiling for points tomorrow?
Baines
Berahino
Wisdom
Naismith
ThanksLeighton, because he's getting back.
Thoughts on this first draft? 🙂
Foster - Myhill
Terry - Bertrand - Bellerin - PVA - Wisdom
Fab - Sanchez - Eriksen - Puncheon - Marney
Aguero - Ings - Kane* Aguero - Ings - Costa
Looks good. But are u sure on Fab over hazard?
Looks nice, I wouldn't trust Puncheon personally. Also do you think Bellerin is first choice now?
I like it.
Bellerin no good long term. Difficult to get decent replacement for that price too.
Tempted to hold off on my WC one more game week, thoughts?
Panti Guzan
Bertrand Terry Zab Hutton Wisdom
Sanchez Hazard Di Maria Downing Siggy
Kane Costa Austin
1FT 2.5 ITB cheersHold. No brainer.
Do something like for a weeks punt Zab to Kos or Austin to Bojan.Thanks mate was thinking that maybe giroud/cazorla
Yeah that would be good too if you can afford it. Siggy to Caz affordable?
yeah. hold
Need some WC help.
Currently looking like this:
Foster Krul
Cahill Fonte Van Aanholt Wisdom Wasilewski
Sanchez Hazard *** *** Boyd
Aguero Costa Kane
A) Is Cahill/Terry worth the extra cash over Azpilicueta? Azpi will be back for City game right?
B) 13.3 left so pick two out of Downing, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Henderson, Johnson or Mane?
Would say Yes to A. Been burned for 3-4 weeks because of Azpi. He *should* be back and playing but I just can't risk that anymore.
I'd probably pick Chadli with one of Downing/Siggy. Would pick Siggy but not sure how well he does without Bony.I'm considering doing Terry to Azpil to save .5 myself.
b-lets get rid of downing(fixtures)siggy(fixtures+form)mane(on his hols) and you're left with hendo+johnson-hardly inspiring
how about tadic,punchy?To get Tadic and Puncheon, I would have to get Azpi over Cahill/Terry
lol @ shaughnessy
What thoughts on Bellerin?
He could become a great option if he can nail that spot. Looking great going forward and defensively at the moment.He could be good for team names next season
Bellerin I've WoodHe's simply put the best RB on the team. I'm going for him and hoping he plays. His confidence is growing and tough to pass up a 4.4 Arsenal defender.
He is the best natural RB without Debuchy around.
I'm waiting a week and taking a call. Could free up some cash through him!what was your thinking behind bringing in costa this week btw?
I hadn't owned him since like GW3 and ever since the Spurs game he has looked the business. I just thought it was time to bring him back in. I also couldn't afford Aguero..thankfully..who I would have brought in instead of him if I could have.
nice.
I'll maybe get him for Naylor...
I'd wait a week. That sounds good though.
Is it really time to get rid of Siggy? He's still amongst the top point scorers in midfield and considerably cheaper than most.
Personally not sure where he stands without Bony.
With so many options in midfield, not sure if one can afford to not be sure.Good point. Still, he will get points and considering his price, it might not be a bad idea to hold.
Yeah. I got rid purely because I was on WC and had the money. Managed to swap him and Demichelis for ADM in my draft league as well (picked up Rojo off the market). Pretty happy with my decision TBH.
With no real goalscorer ahead of him I'm questioning it, reluctant has had him pretty much since the start
Same. One of my only players since GW1 (and Naylor coincidentally)
Hmm best defender at a max of 5m for a one week punt only?
Trippier/Wsidom
bellerin or pva
bellerin
Gardos or Bellerin
Bellerin or Monreal
Zab > Koscienly a good move before WC in GW 24? 🙂
of course
Yes, Arsenal or ManU defense GW23
Yup, then you will want to keep Kos for the LEI game.
May swap to Bellerin when on WC when we know more about his nailes on-ness 🙂
Arsenal double up is tempting me. At least for next week.
Ospina anyone?
certainly an option.. good fixtures new number 1
Will he keep his place?
He is Colombia's number 1 after all, certainly knows what he is doing between the sticks!!its his to lose now put it that way.. chesney has well n truly burnt his bridges with wenger..
No way. Don't want to make another transfer on a GK the rest of the year.
on a side note, today every time he took a goal kick think it was our fans shouting..'ooooooooooSSpinaaaaa' 😀
So fans like him? Does this mean anything?
Managers view more important 😉
They do, but it's just in good fun. Makes no difference to Arsene though.
They do that.
It's lovely.
Baird nailed on for West Brom?
Nope, but would be nice
Simple question - WC this week or next week? Have 1FT and £0.2m in the bank
Hart
Coleman Cresswell O'Shea
Silva Hazard Fabregas Sanchez
Costa Kane Austin
Bench - Wisdom, Marney, Hutton.Nope. Coleman -> Kos or Austin -> Bojan then WC last week 🙂
What about Hart and Silva vs Chelsea, these are two I'd prob get rid of in my WC. And I might get Giroud for the home vs Villa, but I'd miss that fixture if I WC next week...
If I WC next week I think Hart>Ospina or Hart>DDG could be the play?
Who is the best punt for only one GW?
A. Di Maria
B. Cazorla
C. Moses
D. Eriksen
E. Cabella
F. EliaCaz
B or F
A or B imo
Caz for sure, and I'd ponder on keeping him for even longer
A. And if he isn't then he really has to go
Anyone know what percentage of the top 10 k have someone playing tomorrow night.I'm just under 5 k with baines to go.
Always remember auto subs
FPL Discovery does.
0,8 on average left
Cheers
Guzan & Zab > Ospina & Kos (-4) for one week before WC?
Madness? Don't like taking a hit for a defender but Villa are awful 😀Nope.
No hits just before WC and never for a defender.This but def do one of those transfers
This.
What's the target NTI for the first price rise of 0.1 in a single GW this season?
10k , 12k , 15k or 20k ?Anyone?
With Elia in mind, have there been any other players with poor goal to game ratios prior to joining, the premier league that managed to then go on a decent scoring rate? His previous record suggests that yesterday was not the norm
plus one should have been saved and the other deflected, was hardly clinical
Any chance everton game gets called off
no-its not bad at all over here.
wheres over here
northern england
Thats good, i suppose if just very cold, bit of ice about it?
penistone,close to lucy land in sheffield,yes snow on ground here because we're a bit higher but 5 miles down the road no snow,
everton on liverpool seaside always warmer
don't get too hopeful of cancellation is what i am saying..
