Our first delve into the members data this week sees us assess the recent displays of Sergio Aguero, Diego Costa and Olivier Giroud and take a look at the “Sherwood effect” on Christian Benteke as Villa prepare for double Gameweek 31. We also check out the form of Swansea and Tottenham’s playmakers as the fixtures turn kind for both clubs.
Come on Atleti!
Do you have a bet on it?
Kind of. Backed a Spanish team to win the CL in my ante-post accumulators
You do some strange bets - yellow card bets, what was the last one? 12/1 for a gk to get motm.
Love this article! Thanks Paul 🙂
Good article
Well played Arsenal, I'm proud we gave it a go
Last time Oblak was in penalty shootout (last years Europe League finals) he saved 0, wasn't even close....
thanks for remind me 🙁
Torres yc
What's the likely Arsenal DGW scenario now?
Best to wait for news.
With the Villa game being rearranged for GW31, it shows people on here don't have a clue. 😆
+1
We'll surely know in the next couple of days if it's in GW31
I hope so.
Feck knows
Might bite the bullet and start Cawson vs MCI. Don't want to waste both FT this week
Probably not a waste spending a transfer if you can avoid that.
PVA > Toby?
If Giroud had been fit all season Arsenal would be right up there with Chelsea imo
And if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.
arsenal are doing brilliant as is Giroud, but let's not push it
Hmmmmm was more Arsenal's defence that was losing them points than anything
This.
Kos was the big miss.
And if i squrriel i would gather nuts.
I think they would be ahead of Chelsea. Offensively, they are better than Chelsea if 100% healthy.
If Aguero had been fit all season, Yaya had not gone off to the AFCON, City would have been up there with chelsea.
If Suarez didn't leave, and we signed Messi, so would we
If leeds had got 3rd all those years ago and Billy Bremner had never retired wed be up there too
...and according to Rodgers Liverpool would have a real chance in the CL this season if they hadn't been ignominiously knocked out in December...
For Arsenal 4th place in the PL is one trophy and last-16 of the CL is the other trophy. And they have been remarkably successful in achieving those objectives. 🙂Ifs and buts for all teams of course but everyone goes on about their weakness at the back but I reckon having Welbeck up front all that time cost them just as many points as their defence.
Area Turan is class
Arda*
One of Africa's all time greats.
what area.. 🙄 😆
area 42
*51
Right fellas for the day that's in it.trying to think of eleven players named Patrick or paddy who would have qualified to play for Ireland just because that was their name.I v got obviously pat bonner in goals and then pat Nevin paddy crerand Patrick van anholt and Patrick Kluivert .any more?
Bamford, Kluivert, Vieira.
Patrick Roberts (Fulham)
Patrick Bamford (chelsea youngster)
Aah been said
Patrick vieira.pity he hadn't been irish
Pat Jennings
Patrik Berger
Very good.
Pat Rice. 😆
Good one
Two keepers.that's okay.
Would Patrice be acceptable?
Yeah I think so.evra ?
Yep
Also paddy Kenny, pat Jennings and (I think) patrick mboma
Pat Rice
Hart
Alderweireld. Cresswell. Ivan. Kelly. Upson
Ozil. Hazard. Silva. Sinclair. Gibson
Aguero. Kane. Sturridge
Any suggestions?
Ramsey worth considering?
Next GW - Sanchez and Austin > Ramsey and Costa/Giroud?do you know Austin have a double gameweek?
I don't think it matters. Giroud is on fire right now. He will outscore Austin regardless of DGW.
really don't know if worth... i would stay with Austin
same position but Austin to Giroud for me,
watched Austin last weekend, QPR is HOPELESS
Any suggestions on where to use one of my 2FT?
Pants / Heaton
Terry Clyne Naughton PvA Yun
Sanchez Hazard Silva Eriksen Boydinho
Kun Giroud Kane
Thought Alexis was poor tonight. Poor passing, too many touches, slowing attacks, running around like a headless chicken.
Ozil was measured but incisive. Surprised to see Mesut being singled out again
Should have won a pen though - then with 45 to score a third instead of 12... But hey ho
He is the designated scapegoat of this site
This times 100!!
They were both poor. I lost count of how many times Ozil played poor passes standing straight up in walking fashion.
Why didn't ramsey start? Only saw 2nd half...
After that I'm off to sleep no more Footie for me until the frantic Friday night rush,
Who am I kidding I'll defo watch Chelsea tomorrow xDyou clearly don't watch football then
How do you work that out lol
Chelsea have been knocked out mate. 😆
😯
145 - Santi Cazorla had 145 touches tonight; the most by a player for an English club in the CL since November 2009 (Mascherano). Control.
Santi.
he was great.
Ozil was probably my pick from the game though.Only one shot tonight. Still relevant fantasy value?
Not fantasy value playing that deep
Started in the pivot, and ended up as the defensive midfielder. Not ideal. 😆
He was great. Should've started next to Ramsey.
Nice work Paul
Eriksen, Cazorla and Sterling are all disappointing right now
If you owned all three which would worry you more?All have reason to be concerned but all have reason to be optimistic - probs sterling but he's capable of points and was at the heart of most attacks yesterday
ThiS article is a squirter
Love it
Bring in jenkinson or double up with Toby?
I'm doing the double myself.
Hutton or PvA out for Naughton?
Yes? No?PvA. Keep Hutton now.
Why? At least PvA has some attacking threat
Clearly you want to keep PVA. Ship Hutton. Bacuna probably starts over him now anyway
Ship Hutton. Even with the DGW in mind.
Tune into Sky Sports 5. Pens on the horizon
What are Hutton's chances of starting in your opinions? Do I play:
A) Boyd
B) Hutton
I don't follow Villa that much but with Bacuna's performance on the weekend I can't see him being replaced, so Boyd.
Boyd is your 4th mid? Always play the mid over the defender IMO.
Cazorla or Sanchez out for Mane?
Sanchez
cazz
Time for pens.
What are Puncheons chances?
Wait for pressers.
Raul Garcia misses.
Terrible miss.
Oblak save
Seriously right now who is the best arsenal midfielder to have on your fantasy football team?
Yo man! Cazorla in my opinion
Woahhhh look who it is! Haven't talked to you for ages. Cazorla? I think his fantasy prospect has faded since him playing deeper.
Haha! i know! hows it going man! Yeah i agree but he always delivers something, arsenal mids are a minefield, but i just reckon Caz is the man due to pens and assists alone.
It's going alright mate. There is a lot of hard decisions to be made in fantasy football that's for sure. I see what you mean by caz, on set pieces got to be had. I got Sanchez at the moment... Don't know whether it's a waste of cash.
What a dreadful peno
2 terrible pens
