With Chelsea and Tottenham out of contention this week, Fantasy managers are eyeing up the premium price bracket for potential replacements in the centre of the park. Whilst Spurs’ double Gameweek 28 will surely persuade Christian Eriksen owners to hold, the Blues’ pair Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas have been subject to significant transfers out this week after struggling to pick up the points in recent matches.

Fabregas, in particular, has afforded his 33% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) owners cause for concern after serving up just two assists since the turn of the year. Hazard’s single strike and two assists in six has been boosted by nine bonus points, but with the Belgian’s goal threat very much on the slide, there are a number of options available for those looking to freshen up their five-man midfields.

In our second members article of the week, we cast an eye over four pricey midfielders – David Silva, Mesut Ozil, Raheem Sterling and Angel Di Maria – whose recent form is very much on the rise. The quartet have all delivered returns in three of their last four league appearances and are starting to find consistency as the battle for our Fantasy attention heats up.

    Fellow wally owners, I guess we are going to ride this out one more week? Disappointing punt

      I capped Wally 3 times in the last 4 so he's technically gotten me 40 points (2 caps for 30 points and then not featuring and giving my vice Aguero another 9) 😆

      I'd keep for 27 if I owned but would probably turn into Eriksen for the DGW.

      1. Manu5
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, eriksen will be replacing him next week, and maybe Sanchez to Silva as well

    so today didn't reveal a hell of a lot for me, but I'm now thinking I'll keep Wally one more match (and turn him into Eriksen)..I just have to hope he starts..probably PvA > Dawson and save the other FT..even if PvA is set to start, United will definitely score at home

    2FT, 1.3m

    ...............Krul
    ..PvA, Toby, Wolly, Clichy
    Sanchez, Caz, Wally, Boyd
    ........Defoe, Aguero

    Panti, Haz, Kane, Terry

    1. sinik

      also have to hope Toby starts to have 11 but whatevs 🙄

    2. Walsh

      Good plan.

        has Lucy said anything about Toby this week?

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years

          Who cares? Only person that matters is Koeman.

            I don't have Southampton notifications on my phone and don't routinely sound out info since I just wait for Friday so was just curious 😉

              Fair play - didn't mean to sound like a poopyhead. Just genuinely means nothing what any fan of a team would say on the fitness of a given player, really. All will be revealed during the press conference.

                yeah course!

                fk man, are people going to start tip-toeing around me because I was annoyed at yesterday's spoilers ? ffs 😐

      Yup, you best move here, play it safe
      Wally, I'd be concerned about in the immediate future though

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Wally is out..just a question of whether I lose my nerve and do it this week or wait until next

        tempted by Wally > Silva now and Sanchez > Eriksen next week (which I know you're against 😉 )

      How confident are you that Clichy will start GW 27/28/29?

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        very/not/somewhat

        I think he'll become Rose or Vertonghen for the DGW

        1. FionnMac
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          which 2 transfers would you prioritise for the DGW (with 2FT)

          Clichy>Rose/Vertonghen
          Cazorla>Eriksen
          Defoe>Austin

          Cheeky hijack of your post, hope you don't mind! Thx

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years

            Bottom 2 would be my initial gut reaction.

          2. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            11 years, 1 month ago

            don't mind at all, this place should be a hive mind in the end..

            is Cazorla your only Arsenal? I have no idea in that one (as you can see I have 3 Arsenal and want rid of two by DGW)

            if it's among only those 3, certainly the top 2 for me..Sunderland play Hull (a) in the DGW and QPR have Arsenal and Tottenham at home..Austin could easily put up a 4 tbh (though you never know I guess with pens?)

            1. FionnMac
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              I have Sanchez and Bellerin also. Thx for response!

      2. StefanZuce
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I dont think he will be starter at all.. Clichy usually plays vs strong opponents and City has few very easy opponents next few gw's, also his form is dropping as we saw in game vs Barca. Better option is Kolarov (he will play most likely and he is way more offensive).

    Chaps......I'm just in from a gig. What happened with Arsenal tonight?

    Did any of them play well or was it just an all round naive Arsenal display?

    1. tokara
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez and Cazo scored highest on whoscored

    2. Nobodinho

      They were overconfident.

    3. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A few played well, though not many. Could be repercussions on Sunday. Though it's difficult to pinpoint what they may be.

      1. Jimbo123
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Giroud off at 60? :/

        1. Nobodinho
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          6 attempts 0 on target.

            • 16 Years

            Got himself into good positions then? 😉

          2. kalmoffit
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Strikers miss chances. It doesn't mean they'll get dropped. Though with Walcott kicking his heels, it might happen

  4. The Left Duke #3

    Best DF to bring in for Wisdom?

    1FT & 2.2, ITB & have Terry, Kosceilny, Hutton, Wollschied already.

    1. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Lescott/Dawson IMO

      Toby Alderwereriereddfeld if you can

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Soton or WBA defender.

    3. StefanZuce
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Noughton from Swansea. Swansea doesnt concede too much and they play with no pressure so they will play slowly and will wait for the chance to score so Swansea def is good to invest in. Also they have relatively easy fixture next few gw's. Wouldn't recommend any Villa def player because they have to play way more offensive if they want to stay in BPL.

      1. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years

        Naughton from The Honeymooners...........anyone? anyone?

  5. sinik

    have there been ANY indications about Toby playing vs West Brom or are owners just holding their breath and waiting for good news from Koeman on Friday?

    Their fans are hilarious. One week they hate Wenger and the next they love him.

            legit tempted by Walcott > Di Maria or Silva this week and Sanchez > Eriksen next week

            but cooler head will probably prevail 😆

            1. Lallana_
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Arsenal are a strange side though. After a poor result they usually do well after.

              1. sinik
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                well Wally because he's clearly not a starter according to Arsene (at least as far as we can see: 20 vs Boro, nothing vs Palace, 30 vs Monaco) and Sanchez because of price point vs alternatives in the side (like Ozil)

                1. Lallana_
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  Due to the pressure of the fans I wouldn't be surprised to see Walcott included in the starting XI more.

                  Regarding Sanchez there is a huge decline but his goalscoring killer instinct is what makes me want to keep him. He's also second on pens (I believe) after Cazorla. I'm guessing Cazorla will be getting rotated more now which is good for Sanchez.

                  Getting in Eriksen in next week is a good shout. Silva is also a great shout with the fixtures!

                  1. sinik
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 12 Years
                    11 years, 1 month ago

                    yeah so it's opportunity cost..does Sanchez plus whoever I have to keep due to funds outscore Ozil (for example) plus replacement player that has 2m more allotted to him?

                    1. Lallana_
                      • 12 Years
                      11 years, 1 month ago

                      Not now. Keep Sanchez for a few more gameweeks but get Walcott out for Eriksen next week if he disappoints again.

                well it wouldn't be today anyways..after that semi-shambolic -12 the other gameweek I'm playing slow and steady the rest of the season..fook money!

                and what is that they say? "the brave lead the blind"?

                  I pulled a -12 not long ago and it worked out for the positive for me. It was a huge highlight of the fantasy season. Still riding a rush from it. My -4 paid off last GW as well. Too bad I've taken a ton of other hits that probably did more damage than good. Have trouble in that department.

              I know so little about football this weather its a bit of a joke that this year is my best season at fantasy 😆 BTF I hadnt really been trying previous years

            It is likely Liverpool will lineup as:

            Mignolet
            Toure Skrtel Lovren
            Ibe Can Allen Moreno
            Sterling Lallana
            Sturridge

            Rodgers fancies his chances in the Europa League.

              could be Nasri's day if he lines up down the right..Lovren is garbage and Moreno will hardly drop back

              1. Lallana_
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                I hope Rodger's lines-up like this against City. Lovren is crap at the moment. Aguero's pace will destroy him.

                Mignolet
                Toure Skrtel Sakho
                Markovic Can Henderson Moreno
                Sterling Coutinho
                Sturridge

                1. Lallana_
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  Moreno does drop back by the way! He works pretty hard.

                  I think Fonte was papering over the Lovren cracks last season..Lovren hasn't looked like anything all season really..

                  1. Lallana_
                    • 12 Years
                    11 years, 1 month ago

                    I think Southampton's CBs have always looked better than they actually are due to their midfield. Schnederlin and Wanyama are class defensively.

                      also probably true..honestly you could say much of Koeman's results this season are really down to them holding it down..it's no coincidence they looked frail when both were out injured

              Thinkin' about it. I don't think he was one of the poorer performers. I mean, the whole team laid a collective egg really. But if I had to say some guys deserve to be spared an abundance of criticism, he would be one of them.

              I dropped Skrtel a few GWs back, and wasn't too happy about it, though the fixtures were getting tough. Good thing was that I put Ivan in his place.

              A whiles back i had a baines sized hole to fill, torn between terry and ivan. Plumped for ivan just cos i could. So terry starts scoring weekly and ivan does nothing. When i finally swap to terry on jan wc they switch. Fookers

                I played that game of sorts last season. Mostly with Terry. I think he started off real hot last season and had a relatively rough period once I finally decided to get on board.

                I think, in general, that he is more donkey than instinctive goal poacher. But, with that said, he is under rated in the Fantasy game. If that makes sense. For his points to price ratio he is good, in this game.
                In real life Chelsea have Costa, City have Aguero, hes not at that level for sure.

                  A little like the other donkey Pelle. His team supplies him and makes him look good.

                    Giroud is WAY better than Pelle..Giroud has more than decent close control and hold-up play..he's really not an out and out #9, more of a support striker that Wenger plays out and out..

                  This is where true fans are measured. Sometimes you have to take it on the chin or perhaps even call a spade a spade. You may even need to root for a few poor results to initiate a positive.

                1.8 I think. Probably would stay up to 5m.

                  PVA to Alderwield would be nice. On a normal week it would prob be worth punting on him playing but hard with so many missing.
                  Im going Wollo from Stoke as a place holder for a couple of games until we see Alderwield back

                    Guess I need to find someone worth playing most weeks. Coloccini & PVA/Zouma are becoming harder to play.

                That's a tough one. It really depends how often you think Zouma will play the rest of the season. I kinda think playing time will be spilt pretty evenly between Zouma/Cahill, even though Zouma's been really good by most accounts. So I'd probably sell Zouma.

                  Leaning that way. Wish I avoided him on WC & could use the FT on Defoe.

                  I'd agree here, and it's also a long term move as I'd rather have Ivan as my Chelsea defender tbh.
                  PvA may still get the odd game, and nothings confirmed on him yet

                      Ah touche, and aye, I'd use that FT on Defoe on that case. Many good replacements for him right now and next week even

                                    I learned yesterday that people on here just like to wind up. Muppet is a good guy, just having a bit of fun..I wouldn't take it personally.

                                    There are others on here much worse in their wind ups, trust me.. 😉

                                      You might be right. Once is a muppet always a muppet. Not taking personally mate, just frustrating after a horror show

                                      understandable..we've had quite a few ourselves as Muppet will also attest

                              Not sure there is anything worse in sports than when a team you support just doesn't seem to get up for a game and/or just can't seem to get it together.

                                Arsenal fans should be well used to it.

                                    We don't have an established pattern of unarsed performances though. This is a recurring theme at Arsenal.

                                      You don't have an established pattern of unarsed performances in CL that's cos your team failed to qualify it and seems this will be established pattern of unarsed shitty performances

                  Not a good week to bring Sterling or Silva in anyway so I guess I'll just save the FT and play Walcott. Again.

                    Di Maria if LVG makes it clear Rooney is playing point, alone.

                    City could really open up Liverpool too tbh..especially if Lovren plays, what with Yaya there..

                    Who you bringing Sterling or Silva in for?

                    That does seem sensible and he may well start against Everton.

                    Not considering Eriksen?

                    1. Not Irish
                      • 12 Years
                      11 years, 1 month ago

                      Would be for Walcott. Already have Eriksen.

                        Oh okay. Fair enough.

                        Would you bring in Silva or Eriksen for ADM in GW28, muppet? I'd be holding onto them for a while afterwards too.

                          Probably worthwhile. Not sold on AdM.

                            I agree, but sorry I worded the question wrong.

                            Which one (Silva or Eriksen) would you bring in for ADM from GW28 onwards?

                              Classic give and take. Eriksen has a DGW so the obvious short term option. Silva may be better long term.

                              1. Nickofoz

                                11 years, 1 month ago

                                Fair enough, yeah. What I think I might do is if Eriksen starts both Fiorentina and Chelsea I may just go for Silva.

                      you'd hope so..

                      but he played 20 vs Boro, 0 vs Palace and then 30 vs Monaco..it's no longer rest/precaution, he's just not being picked..

                        aye, but id hope there is some sort of shake up...would be very disappointed if he doesn't start, like most arsenal fans i imagine

                      Where's Wally? (Sorry couldn't resist).

                      Chance he might start ahead of Giroud?

                        😀

                        well giroud's confidence looked visibly shot when he was subbed off and theo gave us a potent outlet when he came on, looked very one-dimensional without him or ox, and would hope both start on the weekend...but im just guessing, you'll have to ask wenger for the facts 😉

                        fpl perspective...if you have him, keep him, if you don't have him, leave him 🙂

                        Lescott worth the 0.6m more over Dawson for you? why?

                            so is that statement a

                            a) PvA to Lescott is a better transfer because he's the better Brom option

                            OR

                            b) PvA to a West Brom defender because they're a good add AND Lescott is the best available

                              Think Lescott is one of the best options around.

                    I would save your FT and start Boyd over PvA

                    You have to play Boyd over PvA imo. Even if PvA starts he'll get less points than Boyd probably.

                    Otherwise I'd save, then do Defoe -> Austin and ADM/Cazorla -> Silva/Eriksen next week.

                      Do Defoe -> Kane instead then.

                    Good ideas I have 2 ft tho so does that swing it?

                      use one for PvA > a defender (Dawnson/Lescott popular) and save the 2nd

                      Oh, of course. PvA -> Dawson for me then save the other.

                    In that scenario do Defoe to Kane, bench him and play Boyd and hope PVA plays? Thx

                      keep Defoe, United's defense still isn't anything special even if we're at home..better to have 2 points and a FT in the bag then do an early transfer

                  Bellerin to keep his place? Didn't see the game so I don't know how he played.

                    He had a shocker too. Doubt he will play week in week out. I expect chambers to start vs everton

                      🙁

                      I guess the only thing going for him now is that (hopefully) Wenger realises Chambers is completely crap at FB!

                        Wenger has to realize it's him who is crap first

                      In general i think its time to shift these Bellerin/Zouma/PVA/ Wisdom players. Need people on the pitch.

                      Naughton
                      Dawson
                      Wollo
                      Alderwield soon

                      Think we should be adding one or two of these to a

                    he was awful but then again so was everyone 🙂

                    given he isn't reliable defensively and the hectic schedule i can't see him playing every game...not worth taking out yet though...

                      Fair enough.

                      Hmm, yeah. Do you think he will start this weekend?

                      Cheers, AR?

                        have a feeling wenger will revert to chambers....in his post match presser he said we were a bit suicidal defensively, and bellerin + gibbs were caught way too far up the pitch on numerous occasions, so it wouldn't surprise we to see the more defensively stable full-back pair of chambers and monreal return to the xi...but its just a stab in the dark 😀

                  2FT / 0.9 ITB

                  Pantilimon (Heaton)
                  Clyne / Naughton / PvA / WASILEWSKI
                  Sanchez / Cazorla / Silva / Boyd
                  Aguero / Giroud

                  Bench: Haz, Terry, Kane

                  I think I want to gamble on PvA to hold 2FT in the DGW.

                  Wasilewski > 4.8 or under.

                    Very similar postin to me.

                    Going B ( I have Foster)

                    I would suggest A or B for you.

                    Toby later, cant gamble on another non starter

                      Thanks, that makes sense. I think I'll probably go A for the 0.1 saving and the fixtures look good.
