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.
Is Ibra joining united yet?
8.5 for Cuardrado, worth it?
Adm elia out for Santi Coutinho?
Worth it?
Those who would get rid of Sanchez if out for 2 but keep if just for one.
This is a reminder that we will get to see the GW 25 Tuesday squads before the deadline. Arsenal play Tuesday.
When is the chelsea double gameweek going to be?
It depends on Leicester cup result (I think)
what are the options?
Leicester lose GW?
Leicester win GW?
Ta very much
that's my understanding. If Villa beat Leics in the FA cup 5th round, then i believe Sat 7th March is free for both of them; making it a GW28 double for them
Would mean Chels playing Sat, Tues, Sat, Tues (champs league) though i think...Thanks a mill
We are used to that mate. Problem won't get any easier later in the season.
Most likely GW 28 (7/3) if Leicester are knocked out of the FA Cup.
Otherwise GW 29 (18/3) would be the next space.
I am a spurs fan considering 3 arsenal players in my team. A sign of how hard i am trying this season

EXCLUSIVE @Cuadrado has signed - and you can snap him up on #FPL for £8.5 from midnight GMT: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/
8.5?
I'll pass when Oscar is 0.2 less
Is it worth it for that?
Probably not
Will he help improve Costa's output?
3 shots/game, 2 key passes/ game.
Better than Willian, same as Oscar, but a rotation risk through the right and the centre with both?
8.5m, a tad over-priced in my opinion
So he is 8.5m. Definitely a wait-and-see prospect, for me. Great player though.
lol @ great
Ok, very good
Lol @ very good
🙂
Hmm, so where does he fit in exactly, given the front 6 seem pretty settled...
ahead of Willian on the right IMO
Still prefer james
Oh sit down
I got it.
RMWCTPLZ:
Foster / Hamer
Terry, Jones, Belarin, Baird, PVA
Sanchez, ADM, Hazard, Tadic, Boyd
Kane, Aguero, AustinAustin is probably the only player i would want to change and Sanchez if injured otherwise nice
If you're buying Hamer for 4.1 don't bother, he's the most likely to drop in price of the cheap keepers. Get a non playing 4m instead.
Baird is too risky now I think they've signed Olsson.
Don't like Tadic.This. In fact Hamer is non-playing now; Schwarzer got the nod last game.
o0 awesome thanks
why is everyone getting mané now when they cudda just got him last week on WC and banked 1 point in a dumbass hipster move?
Because then I couldn't have captained AJ in an even more dumbass hipster move.
Ouch. AJ owner here too. I'd dump him but I think I've bigger fish to fry.
A simple AJ -> Mane move here. Though I do like Sunderland's fixtures still. Shame in a way.
who's AJ? pardon my lack of knowledge.
Adam Johnson
holy mackerel 🙁
Going to do AJ -> Cuadrado.
So who's the southampton attacker favorite on the site?
Confused between Mane, Elia and JWPIf only someone would write a hot topic about it...
what a great idea
I got JWP last week and watched him during the game on Sunday.
Wasn't too impressed with his runs, seemed to not be interested in doing lampard style runs and rest of team seemed to be focused on getting it wide for full backs so he didn't seem a target for passes when in front of goals.
Cheap and on some set pieces is about it
Well none of them are strikers, but best attacking potential prob tadic
Best Bertrand replacement? Got koscielny and Jones.
Fonte, Clyne or a Chelsea boy
Thinking terry now
Clubs maybe.
Alder if back.
Who's clubs?
Auto correct. Clyne
anyone still got Chadli? And if so, what are you doing with him?
-Guess he'll be ready to start this week (given 30min run on Sat) but Spurs been winning without him...
-He's currently my 4th non-player for GW27 so he's prob going to have to go at some point...
thinking of either:
a) Sterling (free +but playing double SUN defence away at Swansea)
b) Silva (4 point hit involving Bertie -> Bellerin)
what do you think?what about Mane?
nah - not sold on SOT attackers for now. any view on A or B?
not sure on either tbh but if pushed I'd go B
I reckon Swansea v Sunderland has 0-0 written all over it
Going very shortly.maybe even this week
Thierry Henry signs for QPR live on sky sports
I'd never watch a game of football again if that happened
It would be like if Jesus came back just to star in a McDonalds advert
how bad is a transfer window they had to do that?
Thoughts on Premier League teams likely to sign Cahill? Thinking Everton/Stoke/Crystal Palace.
Would love him at Everton, if only because I did that same move in FIFA.
Not happening. Off to China
Kirsty is so fit
How do you like this defense?
Terry/Bellerin/Alderweireld/Moreno/PvA
Its good. Almost too good as you'll always be benching one and usually two
Bench one
PvA Jones Puncheon
A. Wisdom and Mane
B. Ivanovic and downing
C Ivanovic and Mane -4
How much did Chelsea pay for cuadrado and how much did they get on Andre ?
22 for Schurrle, 23.5 for Cuadrado I think. Excellent business.
Anyone looking at Haidara as a Bertrand replacement?
Best signing, Cuadrado or Bony? In real terms and FPL terms ?
bony in both
Assume cuadrado signing will mean Oscar Willian rotation?
willian cuadrado rotation
Willian can't play centrally
Yeah but Cuadrado can
ehhhhh remains to be seen..don't think he'll play centrally
bony
Any opinions on Cork as a fifth midfielder? Seemingly nailed on and only 4,3. Think I'm going to get him.
Might as well get Albrighton
Albrighton doesn't play, Cork should soon
Adm Elia out for Santi Coutinho?
Yes or no?So is Alderweireld good to go for next GW? Been out of the loop lately, sorry. Would like to lose Gardos ASAP.
Koeman should let us know this week for sure but last Friday he said that he'd have Toby, Schneiderlin, and Wanyama back for QPR
he only said he's hoping to have them back. which is not the same thing.
semantics, I wouldn't go off that word for GW24 anyways, go off this week's word
So basically Chelsea have swapped Schurrle for Cuadrado +5m.
Great bit of business again by the club.
Schurrle is the better player.
I don't think so.
Nah
this
I'd be inclined to agree.
No way
agreed, they missed a trick with him. Careers are easily ruined by going to chelsea
Careers ruined? lol
He's now playing with the second best team in Germany, a team who will want to be challenging Bayern next season.
25m for a squad player 😯
Could say the same for City. And they didn't even recoup any of the 30m they paid for Bony by selling other players.
Bony isn't a squad player I don't think
Well he's not going to be a first team player, so what does that make him?
Bony is definitely going to be nailed on alongside Kun ahead of Dzeko and Jovetic. 4222 returns.
of course he is...
25m+ incoming from the Negredo sale in the summer.
Not really, Cuadrado is an inferior player, they sold a world champion for a guy who played in an awful league with weak defenders.
Cuadrado is the better player.
Chelsea really getting around ffp by flogging lots of loan players for big money
They still have marin, Moses, van ginkel aamongst others they could flog for good money.Very well run, they players they have out on loan along with the ones they have recently sold (Lukaku, Mata, Luiz, Schurrle etc.) means that they are in a very healthy state financially.
Also Romeu, Piazon, Atsu, Chalobah, Kakuta, McEachran...
It's actually not a bad business model given the new rules.
Surprised nobody wants to take a punt on Marin for a permanent move.
Jedi Mourinho
Play Puncheon(lei) or Moses(new)?
Puncheon
I might play both
I have Defoe but I think Sunderland v Swansea is a nailed on 0-0
Punch.
Cuadrado to make his debut this weekend?
From the bench I reckon
Will Cuadrado be eligible for CL?
Don't think so. Fiorentina were in Europa?
they are playing Spurs soon so yeah they are still in Europa.. no CL for him.
He hasn't played CL. Chelsea can register up to 3 additional players, one of which may have played EL for another club. UEFA CL Regulations:
18.19 One player from the above quota of three who has been fielded in a UEFA club competition group stage match for another club in the current season may be registered, provided that the player has not been fielded:
a) in the same competition for another club; or
b) for another club that is currently in the same competition.
Yes
No? He have played in Europa League. Does that not ban him from CL?
See above
Well, well, well.
Inter Milan have a midfield of Guarin, Medel/Hernanes, Podolski, Kovacic/Brozovic and Shaqiri; and they still lose week in week out in a mediocre Italian league.
Weird.it's a team game, you can have the some good individuals in the world but if they don't work as a team they are useless
Chadli to cazorla for a hit
Yes or no
Would leave me
Panti (krul)
Terry baines fonte
Hazard silva cazorla downing
Aguero kane Rooney
Baird wasilezski Albrighton
