When Villa will play Leicester
This Sunday
Any Coutinho owners around?
HE'S SO ANNOYING.. To own in FPL
sticking?
Hello! 😀
No, I'm ditching. I was benching him for Saints anyway, but I'll sell instead.
Wasi & Coutinho -> Wolly & Siggy, assuming no injuries.Oooo sounds good man
I'm so sure he's gonna get a haul as soon as I sell him though hahaThat's the sort of thinking that leaves crap rotting in your team for far too long! 😆
Lol that reminds me of Benteke
kinda stuck with him... 🙁 need to save up transfers.
Saved one yest 😀
Mane is a good replacement if Soton go back to scoring goals normally againy, the problem is for me, if hes nailied on or not? want to look at the situation a little more. Gylffi back too soon, and downing when hes fixtures gets better, so think holding is ok. Think I'll end up with both Downing and Mane, to fund sturridge/costa in my front three
He's been producing the numbers lately. Don't think he was 100% yesterday
Never buy, never buy
Anyone else feel like doing a 'Pearson' on their team right now?
Haha Miguel Fearsome looked all rosy smiles with the chairman yesterday
Nigel*
Damn autocorrect
Depends on tonight. Pelle, Chadli & Austin to Kane, Sanchez (c) & Defoe for -8.
Currently 8pts up.
So got lucky with a big green arrow in Ultimate FPL captaining Walcott with 14 points but guess most people will be changing their captain fails tonight... Do I stick with Wally's guaranteed points or swap to Aguero, Hazard, Di Maria?
id swap to Hazard, go large or go home
I know this is not a popular view, but you only need to look at Jordan Ibe to see how overrated Raheem Sterling is.
How does Jordan Ibe make Sterling overrated?
Why are you degrading Sterling? They're both incredible talents.
I disagree, I don't think Sterling is nearly as good as everyone makes out
to paraphrase George Best:
can't shoot, can't finish, no left foot, can't hold the ball up, can't head....but apart from that he's okhes still a kid, clearly gonna be good
I will concede that he has youth on his side
You've seen Jordan Ibe play two matches and you agree he's better than Sterling?
Also he's not a striker. He's a winger who was forced to play OOP. Describe him as a winger then you understand why Madrid are linked to himnot that he's better yet. he just looks like he'll be a more rounded player IMO
what are you smoking?
I dont get this random hatred some people have for Sterling. Sure, hes not the most prolific and he does lack end product. I for one have been a critic of that aspect of his game. But hes recently turned 20, has been integral of a top side for the past 2,5 years. Hes blistering fast, hes got skills, and while he does have ways to go with his finishing, hes still getting into scoring positions and putting away some of them. Hes by no means the finished product and while Ibe does look to have a good chance of developing to Sterlings level (or possibly even above that), i think youd be well adviced to remember that Ibe has played four BPL games. Sterling has 83 games and 16 goals. At the age of 20. You think on that.
Harry Kane has 16 goals in about 20 Premier League games, and is pretty much the same age. Sterling having already played 83 games says more about Liverpool than it does about him.
Harry Kane has 16 goals in 35 BPL appearances. First off, if youre going to slander, i would recommend getting the facts right. Secondly, one is a striker and the other is a winger. Comparable? I think not. And the discussion was between Ibe/Sterling. Kane has nothing to do with it.
16 in 35 is still a bit better than 16 in 83 isn't it? Considering Sterling has played up front all season.
It has something to do with it when you defend how good Sterling is by saying he's young. So many players were already good by 20, how long do you give someone 'potential' for?Hes played up front for 8 games, if thats "all season" for you, then by all means. Ofcourse age has to be taken into consideration when talking about how good a player is. Youre just here to slander Sterling and youre coming off as a deuche to me, so im just gonna take a pass.
Exactly, age does need to be taken into consideration. That's why I used Kane as an example. I could've used plenty of examples of players having scored more than 16 goals by the time they're 20. Liverpool have a lot of them.
Once he does anything more than run fast, i'll give him some credit. You calm down in the meantime, you'll hurt yourself.You say that, but you got Kane`s stats wrong by quite some margin, so forgive me for not immediately trusting you. And i wouldnt say "a lot of them". Few top clubs have had bigger talents come out of their own ranks in the last 10 years or so, and im going to repeat myself, hes only just turned 20 years old. You wanna rant about Sterling and convince yourself that hes horrible, you go right ahead - such is your right. But im not wasting any more energy on you.
Why are you reminding me that I got the difference between 20 and 35 wrong? Neither number are anywhere near 83, which was the point.
I don't want to rant about Sterling, I was showing you why 16 goals in 83 wasn't impressive.
I have always believed Sterling to be overrated. His only real 'talent' is that he can run fast, but this isn't the Olympic 100 metres. People will say he's young, but younger players than him have been better than him by now. He can't shoot, he has no ability to bring people into the game, he doesn't know when to pass etc.
Suarez made him look good, but then Suarez could make most of us look good.
After my incredible punt last night I was wondering what some of your best were?
I still think mine was captaining Lambert when he got a brace against Villa just after Southampton got promoted.Bringing lescott(City) in a few seasons ago I recall a midweek game.
He scored/CS/3 baps 🙂
van Wolfswinkel 😆
a few years back I put in Yakubu got me 4 goals in that GW
Captaining Michu in his first ever PL game (on my FPL debut) 🙂
Thread over. You win. I owned Michu but never considered captaining him.
I only captained him cause I liked his name. And cause I knew QPR were shite 🙂
punts don't qualify as incredible unless you captain them 😉
Buying a Hull player that scores is incredible 🙂
Captaining Hazard last season when everyone was captaining Suarez and he scored a hat at home to Newcastle.
If I remember correctly, Suarez also blanked.
Last season: Captained Hazard on away game and he scored a hattrick
Last 2 seasons: Captained Fellaini and he scored a brace
Long time ago: Had 3 Reading players and they trashed opponent 8-0 or something... Doyle and Hunt were one of them.getting Riviere in my team in the beginning of this season and not selling him till 4 weeks was my best punt till now. 😆
😆
😀 Class
Snap!
Baines (C) vs WBA and West ham for his braces in PL. even more sweet since I love LB
even better it was against West ham because I brought in for a hit and captained him, such was my confidence
Mignolet C in GW1 2013/2014 - saved penalty, CS
Morning all!
Does anyone here know where Yoshida has been playing for Southampton recently?
ThanksCentre back in Toby's absence, and now covering left back with Bert suspended and Targett injured.
He isn't part of the first 11 when everyone is fit and available. (which is soon)Brilliant, thanks.
And sorry to ask another, but what about Gardos?Gardos is behind Yoshida in the pecking order it seems.
Clyne Fonte Toby Bert- is the first choice back 4.
Last game they had to play- Clyne Fonte Gardos Yoshida- after Targett went off injured.
If you're looking for cheap Saints, Toby is the way to go when he is fit.Thanks - am actually looking at what my main ML rival has done. He'll beat me this week but has made some bad long term decisions, I hope!!
Thank you!😆
Result! 😉
Everybody else unhappy about last night?
As an Ozil captainer I'm gonna go with no 🙂
In hindsight, Silva to Sanchez (C) for a hit was a mistake (particularly as I would have captained Walcott), but it made sense at the time, and sets my team up nicely (barring injury). Can't be too disheartened with 25 (-4) with 6 to play.
Very. Had the armband on Aguero for last 2 days and switched to Sanchez last minute. Should have just gone to sleep
Sanchez cap was a good move, anyone suggesting overwise is a captain hindsight whether they admit it ir not
The term 'Damp Squib' comes to mind.
Depends on how tonight goes
Who have guys left to play?
Terry/Haz/Silva/Adm/Aguero (5)
Really need something tonight.Same as you except Fonte over ADM
i make you fav to win then 🙂
I do. Also have Naughton and Forster to play
7 here.
Krul, Ivan, Clyne, Puncheon, Silva, Haz, Kun.similar. need a saints cleany
I really need a saints defender in my team
Azpi jones
Hazard ADM Ameobi
Aguero
Cap Sanchez 24points so farFoster, Terry, Jones, ADM, Hazard and Aguero.
Same as you except Jones over ADM
5. Clyne, Hazard, Oscar, Mane and Aguero
Terry, Haz, Oscar, Mane & Kun
Big fat red incoming due to a hit. 🙁Ivan/Jones/Haz/Mane/Foster/Aguero
Those, except Di Maria. Pelle and the two Hammers
Terry, Haz, ADM, Mane, Aguero.
Would love a Mane and/or ADM haul.
Terry - Hazard - Di Maria (feck off) - Jones - Aguero - Mané
Foster
Fonte
Hazard ADM
Aguero
On 26....not overly confident of a green arrow toniteYep, all those and Jones. Need an ADM and Terry miracle to start getting back on track.
Barring any injuries, right to save this GW?
Foster
Terry/Jones/PVA
Sanchez/Walcott/ADM/Hazard
Aguero/Defoe/Kane
Bench: Myhill/Boyd/Wisdom/Bertrand
It will be hard to steady my knee for 10 days, but having a spare transfer for the blank/DGW will be key.
Definitely save. Like you say 2 FT is gonna be key.
Saving next is partly how I justified the hit this GW. Prob does not make any sense.
I did the same to get Sanchez.I think it made sense at the time, I'd be getting Sanchez this week if not, and then I'd probably end up taking a hit for the blank/DGW.
why key, you only got 3 chel spurs so can bench, personally not fussed bout getting any QPR so you only need one ft for Eriksen
I agree with this.
Who would you get outside of Eriksen and Kane?I'd get Rose or Vertonghen I think. What would you do with a FT this GW? I can only really see Di Maria out, or maybe Wisdom (may as well hold Bertrand now). I'm very wary of being roped into having 3 Arsenal mids, Sterling is a bit up in the air at the moment, so I think I should probably just keep ADM til the DGW.
I'd be wary of Davies playing one of the games tbh, and Vertongen is at a price where accommodating him can be difficult.
I'm ditching my deadwood (Coutinho for me, maybe ADM for you), and sorting my bench for the blanks.I might save for this week to assess, but you're right that I need to sort my bench. Might end up doing Jones to Vertonghen.
yep stick although if ADM puts in another limp display the finger will be getting itchy
If Chelsea get a DGW in GW28 you may need one more chelsea player and eriksen as well so 2 transfers needed.
Thinking about it, I really need to ditch Wisdom for the blank!
possibly but he could yet play and good defenders at that price aint easy to find, maybe wolfschield
Cheers all, will probably save and see what needs doing after this week.
My 4th and 5th defender are currently Hutton and Wisdom. Can't sleep tight with them in my team 😀 And because I will go with Ivanović over Terry I can't keep both, I have to downgrade anyway .. Haidara - Yun good combination? Or should I go with one of them and just downgrade the other to 3.8/3.9 defender? 🙂
You'll probably need your bench to cover for the GW27 blanks.
Haidara is a good option, IF he retains his place with Dummet back fit. Yun isn't a good choice because he has a blank in GW27 when you would need him.
wisdom isn't nailed on anymore
Keep Hutton
sanchez to ozil.... a no brainer??
Not for me.
Sanchez should be fit by next GW, and he is still the best Arsenal option going forward.Certainly what I'd do if I had no brain, so yes.
haha
Ahhh... not on your Nelly
OK, thanks lads!!!
I am gonna do it. Will also help me bring the 53 year old Costa back into my team
"I don't think there is any coach more sophisticated than me any more..." - Sam Allardyce
Discuss....
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/9709638/west-ham-boss-sam-allardyce-claims-he-is-as-good-as-any-other-manager-in-the-premier-league
Loved LVG conference . Completely owned BIg Sam and the journalists about long ball play 🙂
?...He made himself look like a complete arse...
dont care atleast he has the guts to stand up against media and defend the team which moyes didnt have the courage to do ultimately costing im the job
I do think its pretty ironic that LvG slams West Ham for beeing a long ball side, considering the way United have played a lot of this seasons games.
And i do think making such a statement in itself makes the point invalid.
NotBigSam on twitter is more sophisticated
I'm United fan but one has to be stupid not to admit LVG went all rafa benitez in that press conference.
Fact.
Oooooh! 😀 I talk about facts. The great demise of the Rafalution :/
He's won the playoffs twice and that's more or less it as far as his managerial achievements go!
Those early Bolton teams were terrible. Almost anti football. He's improved.
Sorry but I find comments like this quite bizarre, I suspect you really didn't watch Bolton games back then, more like listening to some ignorant journo who threw some mud and it stick. BFS is right when he says ' how can you play long ball with Jayjay in your team'
The first season in his career that his team play attractive football and he thinks hes Guardiola. Making the most of his moment in the sun. Fair play to him I guess. Live it up while you can Big Sam.
Bless him. He's getting his words mixed up again. Think he meant to say soporific. Bless.
Big Sam 1 - 0 LVG
Who needs Kane when you have Balotelli, amirite.
Chim Chimeny, chim chimeny, chim chim cheroo, who needs Anelka when we've got Kanu
this is more proper, and actually real.Haha, thats good. I was only sticking it.
So is Sanchez still worth his FPL price with Ozil now in the hole and Theo back?
Yeh. 1 game is 1 game.
Özil is not sustainable as an FPL option, he`ll decline soon enough. Much like last season. I am however curious to see how they`ll line up with everyone g2g. Ramsey getting injured last night might have "helped", from an fpl perspective, i`m inclined to think that Santi will pair up with Coquelin with Özil/Sanchez/Theo in a trio behind Giroud most games, but who can really tell.
Ramsey injured makes Cazorla more nailed on, but a worse option IMO, (although still a good option I must add.), because it leaves him a lot deeper.
I think Ozil will continue to get returns with lots of runners in the team.
agree w u...ozil taking the corner from cazo is a pain 🙁
Ozil was only taking corners from the right hand side. Cazorla was still taking them from the left. 🙂
thanks
but when sanchez is back...what would happen hahaSanchez was back, and his appalling corners seem to have finally seen him removed form duties. 😀
i suspect sanchez was a striker last night
so not taking pen, but when giroud is around...sanchez may take the corners
I honestly havent seen the appeal in Santi thus far, and the Ramsey injury makes me agree with you that he`ll sit deeper now. However i dont think it ruins his FPL-appeal that much, he takes the odd long range effort, the odd setpiece and penalties, which was where most of his points came from anyway.
You may be right, i just dont rate Özil at that level. I actually find him quite overrated. That said, he certainly is the flavour of the month.You should have seen him in the first half.. some of the passes he made were ridiculous.
He hasn't had the chance to play in an Arsenal team with lots of runners, and so far the signs have looked very positive. Keep an eye on it, he'll be template soon enough! 😉I did see the game and i am well aware of his passing abilities, which i agree can be quite spectacular. I just dont think he has the skillset to dominate against decent teams in the BPL. I mean he quite fell off in the second half when Leicester pressed higher. For the record i do think Özil is good, very good in fact, but i still think hes overrated.
Fair enough! 🙂
I just dont think a player that requires so many special type of players around him to function to his best ability should be labelled "great" or "world class". That said, hes still a good player and he could very well be very good for Arsenal given the surroundings, and thats really what matters in the end. Hes a clever player with great vision and passing abilities, so youre right, if Walcott/Alexis primarily stay injury free/in the team, he could be great.
thx for ur input!
i know lots of gunner fans like ozil but ....not to non-gunner fans haha
Cazorla more nailed than Oezil?
this.
Ozil will never play the hole. he never did before his injury. he was pushed to the wing.
imo Sanchez is the only most nailed. He will take the hole or replace giroud when required.Thanks. SO for now just sit tight and hope he comes good. Has Cazorla's position changed with Ozil and Theo back? Is he still likely to score a haul?
Its pretty much as before, id assume.
Cazorla is having to play the Ramsey role now, which means he does seem a lot deeper.
He did still create 3 chances from open play, have 2 shots, and was the Arsenal player who completed the most passes in the attacking 3rd.You are a wise and giving gentleman. Thank you for your knowledge.
😀
Remains to be seen. Ozil does have a habit of starting with a bang and then regressing to a frustrating level of scoring.
It's that time of the year. We must drop one of the elite players, to move forward.
Well said sir
Ozil is on left wing but he has improved a lot physically. Let me show you something
That doesn't sound right 🙁 I don't want you to do that.
Its debatable. I would expect him to be the most reliable and highest scoring arsenal player so provides a solid captain option. But depends what you do with the other 2m if you got any alternative i suppose
exactly the right money to do
defoe > costa
sanchez > ozil (have walcott also
yay or nayI wouldnt, simply cus Costa doesnt have a game the following week. If Sanchez doesnt make it, id maybe look at Özil, but Defoe has WBA at home.
just thinking costa at home to burnley raring to go
Yes its certainly a great option for this week, if you can muster 11 the week after and can stomach £11m on your bench its not bad at all.
Wait for 28 with costa
Tricker not working on my iPhone ?
Best Wasilewski replacement for the blank?
A: Bruce
B: Yoshida
C: Baird
They'll stay on the bench after the blank.Haven't seen the fixtures but Baird due to the fact he has the highest chance of playing out of these three I guess
A
Sheesh... I'd probably go Yoshida considering the team and the amount of injuries they get.
Sheesh indeed ... I have no spare cash and don't intend on using the selected player beyond the blank GW. I'm pretty happy with the rest of my defence.
So thats 1 vote each!
With Sanchez Cazorla Ozil nailed on its between Giroud Theo and Welbeck for CF spot right ?
Girouds lack of versatility is going to negatively affect him I think.
Do you think theo will keep his place. ?
I wouldn't say any of them are nailed on.
I don't think anyone is certain to be nailed, especially not caz
If i were a betting man id say only Sanchez were truly nailed on from that lot, atleast the least likely to get rotated out of that bunch.
If adm fails tonight thinking of doing adm > yaya for next gw
Ohhh.... me too! Though I have my doubts they will improve remarkably just like that!
Yes, I'm excited to get Yaya back in my team
Is YaYa back next GW?
Yes. gw26
Ta
Seems like I finally made a decent transfer with my last minute di Maria --> Ozil transfer with a minute to go (after half an hour deliberation).
Cue a di Maria hattrick tonight and essential status...You spelt Falcao wrong
But I didn't do Falcao to ozil 🙁
You'll wish you did Aguero to Falcao though
😆
Di Maria will probably never score a hattrick for United.
Have 2 free transfers. Suggestions to improve the team?
Foster, Myhill
Terry, Jones, PVA, Keane, Toby
Hazard, Cazorla, Eriksen, Oscar, Colback
Sturridge, Aguero, Kane
Thoughts?
How mental is it to bring in and captain costa when he has a blank the next week?
Dat differentialCould be genius, if you have the bench to cover him. I wouldn't recommend it though.
Will he come straight back in though? Depends on how many Spurs / Chelsea players you have for the blank as well, I think GW 27 could be a great opportunity to get up the ranks with many players not fielding an XI.
He'll come straight back in and go absolutely mental
mental to get and cap against burnley? Pretty damn sane id say as long as you have a god plan for 27
Mental, hit someone and get sent off.
Yes, differential, but let's be honest you probably wouldn't captain him anyway with Hazard (BUR), Aguero (NEW), Kane (WHM) and even Sanchez (cry). So yes it is mental imo.
If you can play 11 during the blank, do it. Most of us cant
Bit early to be talking about next GW transfers but Sanchez + Giroud > Ozil + Sturridge is looking very tempting if a bit knee-jerk.
ILOVEBAPS
Check this out https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B9aN06_CQAINpx-.png
this was before yesterday and its quite clear with dribbles and shooting %. He is even having a go from long rangeCheers, sure were a lot of numbers! Can't say I understand but I think it means he is good at passing.
Hahahahahaha! GOLD! 😆
lol
Hi everyone - is £5.2/5.3m too much to spend on a 5th midfielder?
Specifically thinking ahead of the gameweek where Hazard and Kane are benched and worrying that I will be lacking firepower.
Thanks!All depends whether it would compromise the rest of your team.
Hmm. I'm not sure I know the answer to that!
Other than Ozil and Hazard, none of the midfielders above 8m are tempting 🙄
Fabregas when fit, what about Yaya?
Without penalties, not sure. 10.8m is too expensive
Alexis, Eriksen(after the blank)?
Bony
Strike that from the record 🙁
It seems like 'Sanchez or Ozil" is the question to which nobody has a definite answer.
Sanchez all day long but if you dont have 11.3 to spare then Ozil a good pick
sanchez. Definitively 🙂
You know the fantasy gods are against you when...
You get the captaincy wrong for 10 consecutive weeks!
Can confirm. Without having checked im pretty sure im like 1 for the last 7-8 weeks, toss in the Giroud sending off against QPR and it makes pretty horrid reading.
Sanchez has a GW off then comes back as striker against LEI and blanks.
you go "eenie meenie miney mo, screw Walters I'll give Victor Moses a go"
Since gw9, your captain choice has amassed a dizzy total of 7 goals.
fa cup 5th round replays can affect gameweek 27. am i right?
Don't think so as GW27 is on a weekend so I wouldn't expect any Cup replays to be scheduled here - although I'm not sure what will happen if anyone with a Euro game on 24/25 or 26 Feb needs to go to a replay.
I think the replays are one cell too far to the right - They'll normally be 10 or so days after the initial tie which would put them in the same week as the Euro matches.
9 years, 3 months agoWhen will we know about Chelsea's double gameweek fixture?
