We delve into the Gameweek 23 data this evening in our first members article of the week. Liverpool’s flourishing attack, Southampton’s misfiring frontman, Angel Di Maria’s eye for goal and Eden Hazard’s worrying home form are all on our radar.
Keep Sanchez?
for now yes but i wouldnt hold him if we here his out for more than 1 week
I don't know, I think Wenger will say nothing so Tottenham will not know if he's available till the teamsheets.
Hold until more information becomes available.
Thanks!
I think I am going to drop and pay a heavy price for it. But I am worried he won't start for 2 or more GWs and he is too expensive to rot.
Why should you pay a heavy price? His situation has changed with Ozil and Walcott back and he's unlikely to be the points machine he was in the first half of the season with them absent.
He might start this weekend but it would also be no surprise to see him on the bench or even not in the squad. Predicting the time needed for a hamstring strain to recover is difficult, could be 1 week, could be 3 weeks. Return too soon and the chance of recurrence is high.
Its a big risk to sell imo. Fair enough if he's injured, but if he's back for Spurs then you're without arguably the best player in the game for some excellent fixtures.
The price you bought him at is a big factor also.
Alderweireld not back in training? stupidly bought him on my WC ahead of bellerin after seeing the link saying he'd be fit for qpr saturday morning.. oh the regret 🙁
I heard he was going to be back for the QPR game.
that's what Koeman said on Friday
tbh, depending on the rest of your defense you may not have wanted to play Toby vs QPR anyways..as long as the rest of your backline is good all you did by getting him in now was save yourself a FT down the road
Defense good enough.. just hoping he's back soon. Not confident in Wisdom starting tbh. hoping Sanchez back atleast
It's only Monday.
Using my wildcard
Krul/pant
Terry bellerin pva wisdom yoshida
Eriksen sanchez sterling haz silva
Aguero kane austin
What about
Sanchez & austin > cazorla & giroud
Is it good overall?
Verry good.
very*
I dont like austin with his fixtures. I think giroud is a great option
Same here, but we all can't have the same team right. I Have the Giroud - Sanchez combo, can't fit Cazorla in.
4 ars plyers ? :O
Ideally
No i already have
Sanchez & bellerin
And thinking of
Sanchez & austin > caz & giroud
4?
Come on guys
Sanchez austin bellerin (2 ars players)
To
Cazorla giroud bellerin (3 ars players)
Better now?
Yes!!
Austin fixtures aren't too bad & he'll be needed for the double gw.
I fancy a double up on Bony & Aguero when Bony back from
The ACoN.
Steady on ol' boy!Its amazing how quickly things change in fantasy football. A couple of weeks ago costa and essential were. Now not so much. Personally i think sanchez will still be top scoring midfielder, if he stays fit
I think getting a three match ban helps!
Last Man Standing
Safety score = 53
44 knocked out, 464 left
9% out next GW or bottom 42 or equal.
Good luck to those still standing.
Still in by the skin of my teeth
Great GW for you. We are on the rise. 🙂
This 🙂
Thoughts on the below if you may 🙂
A) Bellerin, Sterling, Giroud
B) Koscielny, Lucas, Sturridge
Would give this:
Panti 4.0
Terry Fonte BELLERIN PvA Baird
Hazard Silva Eriksen Cazorla STERLING
Aguero GIROUD KaneI think I would be pretty satisfied with a defense of
Panti - Krul
Terry - Clichy - Alderweireld - Wisdom - Wollscheid
with Berty > Clichy being the move..
Pelle could view the match as must-win with Chelsea playing a battered Villa given they weren't able to make up ground at Stamford BridgeNice backlline. Clichy will forever remain under the threat of rotation though.
benching Wisdom ?
Kolarov to start v Hull
even if he does, I'll have Wisdom or Wolly (depending) as first sub to potentially come in with a CS themselves
Those not on WC, how many games would Sanchez need to be out to get rid?
1, 2, more?2 but unlikely to find out
Well you will know for the second at least.
I wouldn't want him missing Leicester, so 2.
I reckon if he's going to be out for Leicester at home, you should ship him.
2 I'd consider it, 3+ I think you'd have to.
2 for me, I'd want another Arsenal mid if he will miss the Leicester match.
I've already got rid of him, with Giroud, Welbeck and potentially Walcott I'm not convinced he'll score enough points to justify his price.
3+ but he will not be out that long
Think I might just go Bertrand --> Kompany because I can afford it. Any reason not to go through with this?
City havent kept many clean sheets but in fairness kompany hasnt been fully fit
Man city defence isn't worth the investment imo.
HULL, sto, NEW, liv, LEI, bur, WBA
Fixtures don't come much better than thatThey had Sunderland and Burnley at home over Christmas, conceded 4 goals
If they stand much hope of winning the league, Pellegrini surel yhas to get them to tighten up at the back. Kompany getting back to full fitness should help.
Man City haven't kept a cleansheet since December! They have a habit of conceding to small teams.
True...
nope, I would if I could afford it..that's why I'm going Clichy..
interesting that if I had opted to keep Kane instead of punting on Pelle I would be 20k places higher and have easy cash in bank for the move 🙄
oh well, roll on a Pelle hatty at Loftus Road!🙂
I might be doing the same
go clyne, save the money
Other than him looking rusty not really.
My problem is I can't afford without downgrading either Pelle or Sanchez.
I'm thinking of Bertrand > Ivanovic.
GW27 puts me off
Little bit annoying that but I do like the 3 fixtures in between.
True... why Ivan over Terry btw?
Already have Terry. 😀
sounds like a good move to me.
Thoughts on this potential WC team?
Foster (Myhill)
Robertson Bellerin PvA Baird Wisdom
Silva Sanchez Hazard Di Maria Caz/Eriksen/Sterling
Kane Gayle Kun
0.2 ITBDI Maria to Cazrola/Eriksen/Sterling. Bit light at the back.
So you're saying pick two of Caz/Eriksen/Sterling?
Yep! 🙂
What if I went with Di Maria/Sterling and Mane?
Sterling and Mane gets me:
Foster (Myhill)
Clyne Bellerin PvA Demichelis Wisdom
Silva Sanchez Hazard Mane Sterling
Kane Gayle Kun
I waited waited and somehow left myself little bit dissapointed. This ate actually small numbers 🙁 nothing impresses me 🙁
You getting the scoutcast Daniel 😉 ?
Sure do 😉
A) Cazorla and Sturridge
OR
B) Sterling and GiroudB. alot less funds dont think its a fair comparison
B
B
B
Puncheon -> Mane for free ??
It's QPR afterall!!!good idea. What about Silva ? 🙂
Not convinced on City yet and he is too expensive
I might be doing Albrighton -> Mane
I would love an uproot if you would consider it chaps. 🙂
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/02/02/the-scout-picks-community-champion-vote-gameweek-24/?hc_page=1#hc_comment_9637255i like your team except Krul, Foster is not very expensive and has Burnley.
How does one 'uproot'?
Oh bloody hell.
I suppose you'd have to leave town. Hilarious.
What to do?
2 Free transfers at disposal
Heaton Pantilimon
Bertrand Terry Van Anolt Wisdom Hutton
Hazard Di Maria Sanchez Chadli Boyd
Aguero Kane Giroud
0.5m in bank
Got an Eye on Silva, Sterling, Sturridge, Clichy, Remy, Bellerin.
not sure how to play it this gameweek?
Any thoughts?Di Maria to Silva? Also you're probably going to want to ditch Bertrand.
Yeh i was gonna ditch Di Maria, but then i realised west ham have alot of injuries, as both CB's have hamstring injuries.. could mean a leaky wham for once.
Could do Bellerin and Sterling for Bertrand and Chadli?
hmm too many options, need help here
Do you know if bellerin is nailed??
No m8
so having slid about 100k in January and from a 20 point lead to an 80 point deficit in my ML I decided to asses where I've been going wrong. So, my resolutions from now to the end of the season
1) Don't sell a value player just because you're chasing (Kane will be coming back DGW to be captain)
2) Take sensible punts (Pelle may have had fixtures, but 0 form and Walcott had barely played) Giroud or Caz would have been obvious place to go
3) Don't ignore obvious captaincy choices just to be different (ignored Austin v WBA and Sanchez v QPR
4) If you think a hit is necessary then take it, but don't do it for the heck of it (unless you're Wakey and it's one of your rules of playing FPL)
5) Remember that FPL is supposed to be fun, whatever the outcome may bethe wc went bad?what was your team in the end?
56 points last GW
Panti/Mannone
Kos, Jones, Naughton, Wollschied, Lescott
Sanchez, Wally, Hazard, Puncheon, Moses
Aguero, Defoe, Pelleyou are fine for next weeks
Austin v WBA was not obvious in the slightest
And Wally scoredWally scored
Giroud scored and assisted
Caz scored and got 2 assistsIn form at home against a team leaking goals? Yes it was
I wouldn't say they were leaking goals...they hadn't conceded more than 2 since August
Pelle hattie at Loftus Road! 😉
also I'm still happy I got Wally in, just wishing I capped Caz instead..but at least he didn't blank!
he starts vs Spurs as far as I'm concernedShould have stayed a dullard.
Dullardness is key
6) Stop faffing about, and be decisive. 😉
very good advice sir, very good indeed
No, he's talking to himself. He's currently on the 17th version of his wildcard. 😉
only 17?
I was on 100 after 2 days 😉
Stop over thinking things
Consider your options, make your decision and Leave it.
Bet you th ones you considered first had logical reasons, then over time you took them out without thinking why you chose them first
Bench one.
PvA Jones Puncheon
PVA
After CS assist and 3 bonus?
I just fancy the other 2 more for this specific GW.
why was Wisdom withdrawn at 60 min?
WBA went 3 at the back I believe
ok cool, better to hear that they were 2-0 down and decided to chase the game than Pulis lost faith in Wisdom and he loses his starting place
Supposedly Wisdom was booed off by some of the supporters
No surprise, he looks like heavy weight boxer trying to play footy
I'm guessing they went more attacking
ok cool, better to hear that they were 2-0 down and decided to chase the game than Pulis lost faith in Wisdom and he loses his starting place
Is anyone going for ospina in nets at 4.8, and should I take I risk on zouma??
Alternatively I could get arsenal cover through bellerin, thoughts??
No, and no. Neither really worth it.
I have Ospina and Foster
Thoughts on my WC?
Player(s) in Player(s) out
Foster Guzan
Myhill Given
Bellerín Dummett
Wollscheid Duff
van Aanholt Baines
Wasilewski Tomkins
Cazorla Sigurdsson
Agüero Costa
Gayle AustinWouldn't have Wasi on a WC team with his GW27 blank.
Won't get many better options at 4mil
How option would you play him?
Will you even have a full team in GW27?(
Huth?
...and with Huth likely to take his place!
Missed that one!! still think he has a one game ban, guess i need a new cheap defender
Does anyone else think getting bellerin is a big risk, if hes rotated it could leave you in trouble gameweek 27
You've got 3 weeks to find out how likely that is, not too risky. In my opinion you shouldn't be relying on him as a 3rd defender, instead using as a good rotation option.
a) Bench 2 please
Lescott (bur) Kos (tot) Jones (whm) Naughton (SUN) Wollschied (new)
b) bench 1 please
Moses (new) Puncheon (lei) Defoe (swa)Christ. 🙂
I posted this before you posted (or at least before I saw it) 😆
😆
He's busy getting prepared to beat Liverpool tomorrow.
He was a redeemer , think that ship has sailed with JK
a) Jones, Wollschied
b) Moses
😀 ...
Jones, Woll
Moses
Blind worth a punt as a 5th mid?
Maybe until carrick comes back, I have James ward prowse as a fifth midfielder
Nope. Isn't he a defensive mid? Those players usually suck in fantasy. He got a couple assists this weekend would not bank on that happening regularly.
Sanchez + Austin to Giroud + __________ (have 10.3). Also have Silva, ADM, Hazard, Cazorla.
RMWCT:
Panti
Terry PVA Bellerin Naughton Haidara
Sanchez Hazard Di Maria Oscar Silva (changing to Walcott after City-Burnley)
Kane Aguero Austin
Have 5 good mids and 3 strikers - going to hold Austin until the blank, have a feeling he is going to re-emerge as a fantasy prospect again over next 3 and I have a lot of value tied up in him. Also with injuries and rotation more prevalent now its no harm to have a good sub, especially as there isn't many expensive must haves at the back. Anyone care to convince me otherwise?
Trying to make some $$ so I can upgrade Haidara to someone more reliable at the back. Pity Baird got dropped - have a sneaking suspicion he will be re-instated but too cowardly to put him in..
Any other budget defenders I should look at?
I like Haidara - the fact Santon's going on loan to Inter Milan means he has a very good chance of keeping the LB berth.
yeah its just Dummett will come back and either take Haidara's spot at LB or Willamson's in centre..
I'll proably risk him for lack of any better options..
Wisdom can't surely be in danger, can he? I didn't watch the Spurs game and while on here I am being told he was subbed off as they switched to 3-back to attack, supporters booed him off? this is the first time besides Liverpool that Wisdom didn't play 90
Don't think they have many other options at rb
Gamboa
I think he is too attacking for pulis, that being said he played well against lfc when wisdom was ineligible
WBA fans don't want him to play at least.
http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2015/02/01/west-brom-fans-react-on-twitter-to-andre-wisdoms-performance-v-s/
http://westbrom.com/forum/index.php?topic=14038.250sounds like a lot of 'match day complaining' following a 3-0 rout to me, something along the lines of which dissipates after the initial shock and frustration have passed..
A little worrying. I've looked ahead and I can cover him in the event he makes way but anyone relying on him will have to be careful.
yeah the rest of my defense will be solid so it won't be the end of the world to sell him on..just annoying that things could potentially (I'm not convinced yet) change so abruptly..
my guess is just Baggies annoyed following a 3-0 rout and looking to blame someone
Remy to start next week again?
Ok, which one of these combinations should I play?
A) Foster + Lescott (away to Burnley)
B) Pantilimon + PVA (away to Swansea)
Other defenders are Phil Jones and Naughton (plus Bertrand on the bench)or one of each?
Each team.
I would play Panti and Lescott
Burnley concede a lot of headed goalsPanti and Lescott it is. Makes sense now.
we will be playing the same back 4 then virtually, I'll likely play Kos over Jones
Bit worried about playing Naughton as I have Defoe
RMWCT?
