We delve into the members data this evening and assess the weekend’s ten fixtures. Everton and United’s misfiring frontmen, Villa’s aerial assault under Tim Sherwood, Palace’s improvement since Alan Pardew took the helm and QPR’s in-form wide man are amongst our Gameweek 26 topics.
Should be an interesting captaincy selection this week. Aguero away at Liverpool or an Arsenal player I would say
I'm going with Aguero away at Liverpool..becuase Thor (Man City) has got his Hammer (Toure) back!
Mew Mew Toure?
Good week for a punt IMO.
Looks that way. Probably not the worst week to go for a punt either.
Mine is currently on Aguero. Other options would be - Silva or Sanchez and I don't really fancy either for the captain right now. Silva has been consistent but I don't ever see myself putting him as captain ahead of Aguero.
Clyne 😎
Would ADM be a decent shout?
Fairly consistent points recently. On a normal week I'm not sure I'd trust him but don't think you'll lose much by going for it this week
Too inconsistent
Can see both Arsenal + City having a UCL hangover, similar to Chelsea. There are not many obvious picks this week. I even contemplated captaining Moses. A player in which I don't have at this stage.
3, 5, 2, 7, 8 - not the WORST scores in history but not great. Still a decent choice this week I reckon if you don't want to go Arsenal / Aguero.
Lol
Dullard choice of Sanchez, Giroud or Kun for me, I think
Never rule out Kane. Blank or no blank
So much this! 🙂
i think he is off penalties this week.
how about ADM?
I won't let any of you talk me out Sanchez this week, I'm determined to catch his next haul 👿
+1
1. Cazorla
2. Sanchez
3. Dawson
Di Maria in his swansong game for me.
Probably Giroud here
Sanchez for me I think, his home consistency is very impressive
Lamela or Vertonghen for 3rd spurs player next week?
Neither
you rekon Rose or Austin are better options?
Austin I reckon.
Vert for me - guaranteed minutes.
Vert
Vert
Hang on, are you all saying Vertonghen, or are you French and suggesting the QPR keeper?
Vertongnghnen
that's what happens when you ask people to spell utit properly!
HELP
GW27
Krul
Fonte | Koscielny | Haidara | Wollscheid
ADM | Mane | Sanchez (c) | Moses
Aguero | Giroud |
Panti, Yoshida, Hazard, Kane
2FTs 1.9 ITB
Thinking Kos ➡ Bellerin to free up some cash which will eventually be used to get Silva back.
Not interested in upgrading Yoshida yet as I have just enough cash to do
Mane ➡ Eriksen for DGW28.
Actually debating doubling up on Southampton @wba rather than NEW vs AVL.
Toby's injury appears to be much worse than expected, I honestly don't think he will start even if he trains this week.
Any other bright ideas? Need to use one of my FTYoshida --> Rose this week
Interesting, but still would have to downgrade Kos to get Eriksen. Guess it doesn't really matter if I do it this week or next.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen,
How are we all in FPL land today?Better than yesterday. One day closer to the weekend.
Thoughts ?
DDG
Hutton Clichy Dawson Wolly Berty
ADM Sanchez Boyd
Defoe Aguero
Subs: Pants Chadli kane Hazard , 1 FT 2.2 ITBMy thoughts are type Wollscheid and Bertrand instead of Wolly and Berty.
Other than that looks decent enough for this week. Being able to play 11 this week is handy. Not sure about Chadli for the double but at the same time no point getting rid now probably.
What Chelsea do you own and who are you selling this GW?
Personally own Terry, Oscar and Hazard.
I'm dropping Oscar and with Matic out, I am now considering Terry also. But a little apprehensive about the later.I own Hazard.
Not selling anyone this week 🙂Bottomed.
Team is:
Panti, Foster
Terry, Berty, Monreal, PvA, Wisdom
Sanchez, Hazard, ADM, Mane, Albrighton
Grioud, Aguero, Kane.
1.4 ITB, 2 FT
Thoughts on:
Wisdom ----> Naughton
Albrighton ----> Moses😆
Oops!
Oh, and I don't plan on selling any Chelsea players at this stage.
Hazard will cost me .2 to swap for a decent midfielder to have a 3 5 2 formation this week. I will get him back ASAP after GW 28 where I bring in Erikssen and Austin to go with Kane.
Own Terry and Haz, keeping both.
Need Costa to get his yellow cards in C1 Cup and GW 28 so that I can get him back after his 2 game break.
Hazard, Oscar and Costa. Selling Oscar and Costa
I would do the same in that position.
Own Terry and Hazard. Hazard is staying and probably Terry too.
Own Hazard, Oscar and Fab. Selling Oscar and Fab.
Let's try this again 😛
Team is:
Panti, Foster
Terry, Berty, Monreal, PvA, Wisdom
Sanchez, Hazard, ADM, Mane, Albrighton
Grioud, Aguero, Kane.
1.4 ITB, 2 FT
Thoughts on:
Wisdom ----> Naughton
Albrighton ----> MosesLooks good.
Meh. Don't like them.
Can you suggest something better?
Looking at the first one myself
No plans for the DGW?Not really. I still have my WC so I haven't really been planning ahead 😆
I'd rather have Dawson over Naughton and I also don't like having an expensive 5th mid as most weeks he'll be stuck on the bench. May as well get someone cheaper and save some cash which will no doubt come in handy at some point in the near future.
Already have Foster, doubling up on WBA didn't really work out as well as I hoped. Getting a cheap mid does seem to be a good idea, but the fact that I still have my WC changes thing's, doesn't it? Cheap 5th mid's will get me 2 points next GW. Moses might get me 5-10
Didn't know you still had your WC. Go for it then.
I have never had my WC at this stage of the season, when should I use it? 😯
I use mine in GW 3/4 every season 😎
4 clean sheets in 6 recently.
Good plan
I would be interested to know how many of the top 10k have Kane Giroud Kun as their forwards.
I don't so top 9,999 to go
By the end of the day we might be down to 9 500!
I don't either 🙂
Aguero, Kane, Defoe here.
96% have Kane, 90% have Kun and 32%(?) have Giroud. So I guess around 30% must be having that upfront
kane kun defoe here
+1
Aguero Kane Defoe here
Is Silva needed now? After Liverpool an excellent run of fixtures for City
Gw27 - Save FT play with 10
Gw28 - Defoe to Austin
AdM to Eriksen
Caz to Silva -4
Yes or no?Silva and Cazorla are both needed right now playing for teams on the improve.
No-one is ever really needed but yeah he looks in decent form and City's fixtures couldn't be much better. I'm also eyeing up Nasri in for Eriksen after the double.
Am a bit stuck on defense for GW27 and forward, current team is
Panti Hamer
Terry Clyne Hutton PvA Baird
Sanchez Hazard Silva Øzil Boyd
Aguero Kane Giroud
2 FT £0.0 itb
Need to ship Baird and maybe PvA, but no funds limits my options. Currently looking at these possible options
a) Baird -> McShane/Bruce
b) Baird + Terry -> Dawson/Naughton + + 6.2 defender (Bertrand, Moreno?)
c) Baird + Boyd -> Dawson/Naughton
d) Baird + Øzil -> Sterling + Dawson/Naughton
Views and comments much appreciated, guys!A)
Wait and see on the others. Terry and Ozil still good picks IMOThanks - not so keen on selling Terry to be honest, would be for upgrading to Ivanovic in a few GW's. But Øzil-> Sterling is tempting since three Arsenal attacking players is too much, but then I might also ship Giroud soon anyway
Tricky without funds eh. I have to say I prefer B from those.
Thanks - as said above, not too eager on selling Terry, as I will have to use a transfer later to bring a Chelsea defender back. Still leaning towards a) myself
I like B.
If so - Bertrand, Moreno, or other?
Bertrand
Baird->Dawson
PVA->LezcottCan't afford that, I'm afraid 🙁
For the next GW only:
A. Koscielny (EVE)
B. Naughton (bur)
C. Wollscheid (HUL)
D. P. Jones (SUN)
??D
A
D
Kos out of that lot although Lez Dawson are better options.
D off injured within 20 mins
I'd go C
I love weeks like this one coming, everybody's bench will look something like
Hazard...Terry....Kane, and teams will be filled with weird and (not so) wonderful players, expecting low scores and be over the moon bench fodder scores 🙂Captaincy will decide if it's a good week or a bad one for most people.
True. Any insights? Surely it's time for Sanchez to step back up isn't it?
Possibly. No real standouts this week which makes getting it right so crucial.
Really? Why? You will either be on Sanchez or Aguero like all of the game so what the captains do will mean very little.
This is the week where the strength of your whole squad is key.If you're going to punt on a captain, this is the week to do it with limited options.
Many of these 'squad players' will get 1 or 2 points, relying on the likes of Stoke defenders and cheap 5th mids is hardly inspiring. This is a week for taking risks. Aguero is away against a tight defence and Sanchez isn't really the main man anymore and isn't in FPL form. Gambling with the armband on the likes of Cisse... Ings... Even the likes of Caz/Wally/Ozil... Could be season-defining if they explode. Aguero/Sanchez blanks wouldn't really surprise me so if you choose to captain someone else and they do well then you'll fire up.
Simply owning players like Walcott, Ozil and Cazorla will be more than enough, going against the grain IF they turn up will hurt you a lot more.
Luckily for me my cheap squad players are in defence and my 2 strikers are Kane and Austin so my attacking 5 of Silva, Cazorla, Walcott or Ozil, Sanchez and Aguero should be enough to get through the week.
Gambling on a captain has two outcomes, not sure this is the week to be taking the biggeSt risk.It all comes down to how willing people are to take risks, I guess.
A week where Chelsea has no fixture, City away to an inform liverpool is not a week to take a punt on captain? Ok...
And I suppose City struggled to score goals last week and Chelsea's players made the game week?
Nice name, suits you...
I'm not sure how you can be much more confident captaining another Arsenal player over Sanchez. Remember taking a risk also increases the risk of a captaincy fail and having a bad GW as a result. With the poll likely to be split over Sanchez and Aguero I think there can still be massive gains to be made over picking the right one.
My judgement is probably just clouded from the last couple of months. 🙁
Ryan has finished in the top 10k once in 7 seasons. I think you can safely ignore anything he says. 😉
Amoeeeeeeeeeeeebi assist 😎
...and 2 bonus points 🙂
...and a red card 🙂
...and those with three WBA defenders handsomely rewarded 🙂
I'm thinking of following you Jafa but I have this nagging doubt over how you'd rotate the defence on a weekly basis. Surely you'd have to either start all 3 WBA defenders or none at all. Can't be half pie and only start one or two of them. Its either all in or all out.
These are the moments Boydinho lives for 😎 It will be fun to cheer on the likes of Haidara though for once instead of moaning the fact that theyre in your starting line up
Sterling or Sturridge surely good picks, for those who have them?
Wollshield nailed?
Yes.
I was thinking Pieters for the extra 0.1m.
Are price change's sites accurate now?
Rises are pretty good, falls are still off.
To a certain extent. Not enough to be considered totally reliable, though. More of a 'guideline'.
Anyone considering Ki for gw 27? (as 5th mid, to play in Hazard-/Erikssens place.)
Good pick 🙂
Thoughts on Sakho (c) this GW? Alternative would be Kun or Sanchez I guess.
Good punt!
Go for it 🙂
Sanchez for me, Sakho enough of a diff without going nuts
Need to catch up big time in my ML 🙁
I prefer Cisse but I like it.
Would appreciate some input, thanks fellas
Forster Foster
PVA Baines Bellerin (Wisdom)
ADM Silva Cazorla Boyd Ozil
Defoe Kun
Bertrand in for a hit? (Bench PVA)Cresswell has a good fixture too
But then chelsea and arsenal after..
At about 400th OR, would you play it safe or go for Ings (C). Pretty much a must win for Burnley and they do play some nice football.
At this point in the season, I would have gone for what I think will get the most points. You do have a better chance of rising more by going for diffentials, but the risk is also bigger. I save these punts for last GW - or before a WC.
I need 2 of Clichy, PVA and Wisdom to play to field 11.
Is it worth a hit to take Wisdom out for a playing defender?Yep.
Thanks, hopefully I can pick a clean sheet!
nope, i think clichy is going to start this week
I hope so, still would need PVA to play too though.
If you had to pick:
Walters or Moses?walters
Moses. Better stats and now on pens
Moses
Moses,
his numbers are solid and it seems he could well be on penos as from now on
Tomkins is an interesting one - very good threat on set pieces.
How secure is he - short and long term?
Very. Collins doubtful to get in as long as Tompkins keeps performing
bertrand is my only playing defender, provided he starts. others are:
wisdom, baird, pva (terry)
have 1FT, 1.8 itb. i'm open to any suggestionGet rid of Wisdom and hope that PVA plays.
Why would he not start?
Has Doos been around lately? Hope he's okay.
Wow just came on to ask the same thing
Strangely, no.
Disappearance of mighty Doos
🙁not in the last week
...typical....he goes AWOL now that I'm busy winning the FA cup tea thingy...
🙄...where is his side kdick..monkey breath...Ginkapo?
Coming from you lol 😉
It's hard to follow without the names being added to the next round. I was looking at Reedys team this week as I thought I was playing him. I fired my parting shot only for him to politely remind me he had got knocked out in the first round.
Yeah, it's a shambles.
😕Talk about feeling red faced 🙂
Link to the draw please?
Cheers, Out to an 81 this week. 😆
No problem
Some big casualties already...
Link to the spreadsheet please? I presume I lost my tie.
PVA owners
Are you ditching him this week? Reckon he will gain his spot again?
The fact that they had a cs vs Wbrom tells me that he will be on bench until they concede 8 again 😆Don't have a choice really, going to hold and hope!
meant if you had a choice
Well yes, if I was on a WC or had 4 FT then I'd get rid.
4 FT...
That just sounded so good that I started to dreamImagine! Sigh...
I'm ditching him. I want 10 players who are guaranteed to play and PVA has a rough fixture anyway.
*11
who are you replacing him with?
Have naughton and Wolly. Not sure who else in that price range. Haidara?Check the community articles section over the next couple of days... 😉
Cheers 🙂
Dawson is all the rage it seems.
Newcastle just conceded 5 goals, I wouldn't go there.
Probably Dawson or that Stoke chap. Most likely Dawson though.agreed, have exact 4.6 for Dawson. Will probably will pull the trigger unless any injuries by Saturday
He's 4.4. The WBA one.
I wonder how many people have got the wrong one!?
He needs to have his own code name. Like Naylor from Swansea.
Cawson
and Mawson
^^This
oh my bad, wrong dawson price checked.
hold, have other priorities
This is my thoughts. Everyone saying how annoying it is that they got a clean sheet when he was benched (which it is I know), but perhaps that's the reason they did keep a clean sheet.
If I was an owner I'd probably get rid if I hadn't nothing more concerning to do.Well im ditching him or Wisdom. I think Wisdom is more of a concern.
I'd have thought so. Seems he has dropped completely under Pulis
Keeping. Rather get Austin for free next week rather than punt on another crap defender this week.
Im not sold on Austin with those fixtures. Plus Gru, Kane, Kun. I dont wanna touch that line.
What is yours and who will sacrifice for Charlie?All Defoe owners will get Austin, Gru owners will hold
makes sense
Ings*
his fixtures are horrible
Yes, that's why I will get rid of him after GW27. Thinking of captaining him as well.
Ings or Sakho?
Both good options IMO. Ings have been in better form recently, though and I think Burnley will go all in, must win for them. But they have horrid fixtures, for longetivity i'd go for Sakho.
Absolutely, doing the same.
Ditched for Haidara
Who should i prioritize to lose?
Bruce or PVAPVA if either. Bruce came off as they needed more creativity in search of winning goal
which will bring in more points?
A) Bruce + Defoe
B) Giroud (or any other strike punt under 9.0)B
B
ok, so i have 10 players, and will use ft to do defoe > giroud and still field 10, rather than wasi > bruce and field 11
B
Giroud, Diouf or Sakho
how about pelle? its a one week punt since ill be getting austin in for dgw
Clean sheet chances for saints and baggies?
That game has 0-0 written all over
That would be beautiful
Krul
Wollscheid | Jones | Clyne | Koscielny
Puncheon | Silva | Sanchez | Boyd
Defoe | Agüero
Foster | PVA| Hazard | Kane
1 FT & 2.6 ITB
Puncheon >> Downing/Sigurdsson/Mane/Coutinho/Moses/Herrera?
Please suggest, thanks!Downing or Coutinho
why not Defoe to Giroud?
With Ramsey still out for a while, Cazorla is quite nailed-on isn't he in the double pivot role? Was thinking of shipping him out asap, but may keep him for a while if he keeps playing and is on pens.. Thoughts?
Erikson next week for me
You need to worry about gayle and that backline sir
Last season Ozil scored twice in different fixtures against Everton. Could be a good sneaky (C)
was looking to ship him for Sterling myself, may have to rethink 🙂
Crazy diff pts
