new post on Austin replacement
hi TL hru mate
In the same boat. Austin > Remy and save the other FT.
Who're you eyeing up as a Naughton replacement?Not even thought about Naughton replacement, have two frees but will just use one on remy, have three decent defenders for this week
Cheers. Nice work with your blog.
good score!
- Remy is a risk worth taking
For me Remy is worth the risk for several reasons:
- He's now first choice striker for the best team in the league who haven't yet guaranteed the title.
- Scores a goal every 91.2 mins (Costa = 103.1)
- He has previous for scoring. Last season he scored 14 in 2097 mins. In comparison Costa has 19 in 1945 mins this season (for a better team)
- In the next 3 games weeks has QPR away and a potential DGW
- The only other Chelsea options for me are Fabregas, Willian and Terry (or Ivanovic depending on the defender you own). Chelsea aren't keeping clean sheets right now so most of us wouldn't back the doubling on defence. With 2 goals and 4 assists all season Willian would be a bit of a punt. Fabregas would be the best option out of those 3 for me but he's not exactly setting the world alight right now.
- For a lot of us we're replacing Benteke/Austin so have a slot for a cheap forward. If Costa was fit we would probably be looking at him and if he's confirmed fit for the double we would make the transfer later anyway. In this case get Remy in now and potentially get a double game week player. if Costa is confirmed fit you can make the transfer later (which you would do no matter who you decided to bring in for Austin/Benteke)
- If you're going to captain a Chelsea player you'll captain Hazard any way so if Remy doesn't score massive points it won't be such a loss
- If you do want a captain differential then what better one than Remy 😉
We really just need to hold fire right now and see what Mourinho says about Costa. If he's confirmed out for the double then Remy seems like a no brainer to me for that 3rd Chelsea spot we're all looking to fill.
There is the chance Drogba may get a start and people are already earmarking the Arsenal game but for me there's no doubt Remy is ahead of Drogba in the pecking order and Mourinho has already said he deserves to get some more games.
All in all I think Remy is a risk which might pay off and if he doesn't I don't think you'll lose much.If Costa confirmed out, would you get rid of Aguero for him?
wasnt all this said in the scoutcast?
Surprisingly Triggerlips not everyone listens to every scoutcast
😆
Some of it was as far as I remember yup
That's a tougher one - in that case I'd want to be more sure Costa was out injured for a month or more.
With Austin I'm happier to make the transfer knowing that Costa might be back
I'm going to give Austin one more week then reassess the Costa situ for the double. If he's def out for the double I'll get Remy. I'm worried moving now could see Costa play one of the games in the Double
"In this case get Remy in now and potentially get a double game week player..."
very good point for those intending to play the WC in GW34.
Thanks Andy!
Posted last page...he was a wildcard punt for me in gw24 when Costa was out, 2pts, 1pt, 1pt, transferred out, lesson learnt
Interesting. I'm going to look at his stats
That is frustrating I can imagine. 2 goals in last 2 games now though with limited minutes.
I'm not saying he's going to go crazy and start scoring hat tricks but he's worth the risk for me.
Great article
Just confirms my next transfer
That goals/min ratio is a bit misleading due to sub appearances 🙂
Agreed that it's not the same as comparing Remy v Costa with the same starts etc but still a good indicator that he has an eye for goal.
I'd say the last 2 weeks have helped a bit with this.thanks for the encouragement to do Giroud>Benteke(c) btw 😀
No probs 🙂
Remy is the standout option for me. His stock has understandably faded somewhat in the minds of fpl managers due to his lack of game time this season, but if we look back at his time at Newcastle and QPR there's no doubt he has the ability to produce the goods.
The only question is whether or not he'll play both games in the double? Hopefully the Presser will tell us more but as it stands I'm one of those who thinks Costa will be out for some time. Why gamble on an average forward whose form is unpredictable when you you can bag Chelsea's nailed on forward for a bargain price? As for Drogba, after watching him against Stoke I'd be amazed if he started another game this season.
terry, iva, haz for me. before 22nd nov they had kept only 3 cs in 11, then went on to keep 8 in the following 11. after that they have now kept 2 cs in 8. who knows what's gonna happen in the following 8 games.
For 1 game - which Drogba has a good chance of starting in - it's not a risk, it's just stupidity.
I already have my mind set on doing haz, fab and remy for the dgw. I'm not getting a chelsea defender
I think you're spot on here; well justified. but the main point is the bit about waiting on further news. I kinda hope Chelsea lose points over the next two so that Mourinho is tempted into rushing Costa back
Guzan (Krul)
Terry Clyne Alderwield (Dawson Naughton)
Hazard Sanchez Silva Eriksen (Boyd)
Aguero Austin Kane
1.2m ITB, 2FT.
All out of ideas. Dawson, Austin, Eriksen and Aguero are issues.
i think kun is your issue this week-get rid and buy into the murray ride,cash freed up
How many points is a rank of 10k?
I'm ranked 9,570 and have 1796 points. So look around that mark.
What a gameweek to have zero double gameweek players.
Yep I even benched my one player. Season over in terms of overall rank
So it seems that was the GW to play your wildcard. Bollocks.
haha yep I think so, Benteke and Phillips HUGEE
Not really. Short term gain. A wc left with villa and qpr players who have a blank will soon become depressing
But you can look back on the (C) 42 or what ever it was
It's kinda early but would you rather:
A) Kosc -> Bertrand (got Clyne already)
B) Austin -> Remy/Murray/Gomis
C) Save
Would you not want to keep double SOT for the Hull home game?
C or Gomis
And that was deemed the worst DGW, prior to the Saturday kick offs.
What is GW34 going to bring 😐A Mahrez hat trick.
It's a shame he's stopped getting starts - would get him in as a 5th mid and play him that week
Started vs West Ham. Hoping to see Pearson give him more minutes. I've got him and want to play him, too,
1FT, Naughton* PVA, Sanchez, Giroud all with blank 33
Eriksen out of form
Sanchez and Kun
Should I move one of these on this week? If so, for who?
Thinking save this week, then Sanchez Boyd to Coutinho Puncheon next week, or Eriksen Giroud to Cout Rooney/Sturridge/Remy
I would be keeping Eriksen ahead of villa and Newcastle in the next 2. I would save this week or remove Naughton to someone who plays in GW33?
agreed newcastle by the sea and villa en sherwood have the look of excellent revival destinations for erik
Assuming Liverpool have dgw34. Thoughts about this transfer. 2 FTs
Koscielny -> Sakho
Austin -> Remy
Have decent bench coverage if and when Liverpool have blank in gw33.i would not rush
looking at your squad you have overall good position to protect even though the squad looks (at first glance) shot with holes.
I would wait on kos and not enter into the rotation and leaky which is liverpool.
remy -i wouldn't trust maureen on this one-he's as likely to play izzy brown for 15 minutes at the end of a game just to confound us!!Thanks mate. Appreciate your opinion.
Should you not be assuming Liverpool won't have a DGW ? 🙂
Liverpool don't have Can or Skrtel, no Gerrard.
Don't be getting those hopes up for a Liverpool double gw!Really hope there isn't a Liverpool double.
Would be okay in GW37 but trickier in GW34 with no WC
My concern is that it opens up to more DGW players. I'm sitting 1st in my ML and with no WC. I'd have to take hits. I'd rather there was a smaller pool of DGW players to pick from.
Who to bench?
A. Alde
B. Bellerin
C. Terry
D. Fontebellerin
-benteke likely to pop up
-burnley for all their industry cant score just now
Aguero or Giroud out this week for Remy?
As we're not playing you this week..;)
Hard one to call, Giroud has that blank in33, but current form would you really want to drop him, only to bring him back?
Aguero out, takes balls. There is a reason he's so expensive. But again on current form, there is only one choice. Ageruo out.agreed and enjoy giroud scoring
i'd get murray rather than remyI have a Wc so I can repair things down the line, I'm getting a bit sick if sitting on the fence with aAguero, this 4-4-2 is killing his output.
he's playing water carrier,yaya is as lazy as tite
aguero needs to play with a decent foil like jovetic but he will remain in the dog house
get rid of kun.
Giroud
😀
😆
Anyone else feel sick for not doing Aguero to Benteke?
It was my plan for the whole international break, then I waited till Friday, and bottled it. Talk of people on here (c) Aguero scared me, despite thinking Palace would win 2-1
Red arrow for me instead of being top 500
Season over . 🙁Same here mate, we seemed to miss a trick there for sure.
Yep I bottled it for similar reasons. The number of people captaining him scared me too so I decided to sell Sanchez instead 🙄
Ouch, that's worse, I got no attacking points from Arsenal and Bellerin third sub!
You knew Benteke was going to do well and knew the exact City score - I'd go with your gut next time then.
Also you're still in the top 2k - having a great season, all is not lost!I know. On a normal week I'd have done it on Saturday night, after Aguero failed last week, but because of the break, I waited
Oh by the way, I bought Sinclar instead 🙄
Ouch - that is a bit unlucky mate.
I was being a bit sarcastic about knowing the exact score but in terms of going with your gut you should do it.
I went back through my posts last night and my initial instinct was Aguero to Benteke but ultimately didn't have the guts. Oh well I had Austin (c), got a bit of a lead in mini leagues I'm happy.
You can still make top 500!
Is it time to get rid of Sanchez now in preparation for a blank and the game against Chelsea? This would free up funds and then allow me to get Arsenal back in time for GW 35 and dGW?
If you've kept Sanchez this long then away to Burnley isn't the time to be getting rid. Free up the funds next week if you need to.
Cheers, Andy.
Sanchez to Sigg and Austin to Giroud and going 352 for their blank was my plan. What you think of that plan?Giroud has a blank same week as Austin though so probably need to re-think that
I am holding for this week and might just bench him for the blank as well. Would be tough to bring him in without a hit given his price.
no no no
sanchez class
arsenal form
play him then assess
I can see Chelsea putting a few past a tired Qpr team this week.
They're poor defensively at the best of times so this could be 4/5.It's the most tempted I've been to captain Hazard for a while I must admit. Still think I'll end up on Kane though.
You doing Austin > Remy this week Andy?
99.99999%
Unless Mourinho comes out and says Costa will be back in a week and confirms that then it's pencilled in for sure 🙂And if you had to lose 1 of Giroud/Aguero for Remy this week based on Costa being out for 3/4 weeks?
Aguero if you can field a decent 11. Giroud against Burnley could be devastating
No issues there mate, just can't call it tbh.
Urgh - what a horrible decision.
I'd probably say Giroud if you have a decent enough 5th mid because Burnley is a decent fixture.This doesn't make sense? Get rid of Giroud because Burnley is a decent fixture? haha
Oops. I meant keep Giroud 🙂
Mmm and I went the opposite below, God bless the English language and all it's interpretors!!!
Confusion!
But I think you mean lose Giroud on account of his blank and odds are Aguero will score soon.... 😉
Thanks Andy/all.
hazard steps up in and into the pen box in the absence ot the 'recognised' striker
Agree with this, Aguero to Remy looking nice
Seem to be going all out attack, which is a good reason to keep Austin, but something tells me to move him on now
Austin > Remy
Aguero > Sturridge for this game week?
I need to take a punt to break away from 2nd place in my ML who has killed my league and looking at the fixtures, I fancy Sturridge to do quite well against a rubbish Newcastle defence. Plus Aguero will free up a lot of cash to get me ready for the next DGWs.
Thoughts?On paper seems logic but personally Id question Sturridge fitness.
This is what concerns me, but if he plays he could bring in a big points haul. After missing the Benteke giveaway last night I'm nearly brave enough to let go of Aguero as he is costing me in a big way.
Im aware that Sturridge might well have a blank incoming but I feel I could use some Liverpool coverage for MNF v Newcastle?kun to the murraywagon to free up cash then assess after this gW?
Agree but you need to wait on pressers, Daniel is a punt a call you will have to make Dan.
Cheers for the feedback guys.
Ill wait until the pressers on Friday.
How about this for a move?
Austin & Eriksen > Remy and Mane (-4)?
yes and liverpool's current health
there's trubble behind the scenes
avoid
Fwiw I'm keeping Aguero. His record against United is quite good actually and even though I'm a United fan, I expect him to score. Sturridge might have a potential blank in GW33 if they win against Blackburn, so you would have to transfer him out as well. I would hold.
i'm a citeh fan
sofa beckons-pelly couldn't organise a trip to the pub...Well he won you the league in his first season and got you in group stages in Champions League for once, so...
I think it's harsh on him. Every team faces a tough period and as much as I don't want it (sorry), I think it'll pass.
So I have 5 players unavailable for GW33 and have only 1FT.
The players being PVA, Naughton, Giroud, Bellerin and Alexis.
What would you do in this situation? I am thinking either Naughton or Bellerin out for the FT, but would you take a hit to remove another one? Was thinking Giroud out for Gomis/Remy. Is it worth it?I think you need to... Remy / Gomus/ Murray
Benteke and Austin got me back into top 500.
Do the top 100 capt the right player every week lol
If only i had Kane (c) instead of Aguero 2 weeks ago I reckon i'd be top 200.
Onwards and upwards.See above
Opposite
I think folks are dismissing CHE's defensive capabilities too lightly. Perceived wisdom is that CHE aren't keeping any CS. I don't believe Mourinho's approach has changed, and CS can be subject to the whim of luck - Charlie Adam's goal is a good example. I'm actually very likely to go with Terry and Ivanovic for the DGW, in preference to bringing in Remy. I think that has a great chance to pay off big, and that Remy is likely to be rotated with Drogba (or at least be substituted early).
My 2c. Thoughts, anyone?
I think Mourinho should play Zouma...
Agreed. With only a few weeks left, City slipping up and their main striker injured, I really think it's time that we'll see some narrow 1-0 wins. I have no interest in getting Remy at all.
Does that mean you won't be confident captaining Hazard?
Having Ivan + Terry double-up really messed up my my last two GW's, so ditching Terry on that reason alone 😉
You make a good point - especially about Adam's goal. I think Stoke had something like 2 shots?
My preference is usually always with attackers so I think I'll go Remy anyway but double decence might pay off.
Simple question:
A) Siggy and 4.9 or less defender
B) Puncheon and Phil JonesDefence now is:
Myhill
Terry/Bertrand/Alde/Jones/DawsonOh that makes more sense. I'd be tempted by Puncheon myself.
Yeah sorry, I have him so it's basically that Puncheon would save a transfer. If I get Siggy, I'd have to downgrade elsewhere to afford Giroud after his blank.
Why on earth would you want Jones now?
A with Schlupp maybe?
I was thinking Schlupp, but his attacking stats aren't actually great, and I can't see many cleanies for Leicester. DGW is tempting though, particularly after this weekend.
Read on here yesterday that Schlupp could be dropped
Really? Think I'll steer clear and just go with Puncheon, a stats comparison of him and Siggy is very close.
Yea, Konchesky was mentioned now they've changed formation
Yeah, not much between Siggy and Punch. I suggested Schlupp coz I expect him to do better than Jones. But seeing that you already have Jones, makes sense to not transfer him out.
His attacking stats are crap as he's playing LB. Gives him basically no value imo.
Cheers all, think I'll go with Puncheon.
After have the worse week in history (24 points) and slipping from 1st to 7th in my mini league, I need some major help/advice with my team which is as follows:
Pantilimon Davis
Clichy Bertrand walker ivanovic monreal
Cazorla mane erikson Henderson moses
Costa Kane aguero
Think I need a overhaul but don't know where to lookWhy the feck do you still not own Hazard? Lose Costa too.
Not had hazard all season, been top of my league and within the top 5k. Don't want to get him out of stubbornness! Costa is obviously going but don't know who for
specsavers
😀
Costa to Remy and Cazorla/Mane to Hazard.
Costa to Murray/Gomis/ Remy
Moses to Boyd
Get Hazard
Walker to Dawson
Clichy Taylor/Williamsyup
i'd be more 'concrete' on costa to murray=cash(and points) will flowFew times you've promoted Murray, 32..., confident he'll score points over the next few weeks? I'm tempted to get him in for Austin
sorry concrete-moved to another place
his goals per min are now matched with padrew's faith
=bingo
I am 2nd in my ML cash league, with the TOP3 being rewarded. I am 70 pts behind the leader and 30 pts ahead of the 3rd guy.
What should be my strategy - attacking the lead by punts, or more of securing the 2nd position, as the leader is quite far ahead of me and catching him will be v. difficult..?go steady and enjoy second prize
this week save FT and watch 3rd like a hawk,goad him/her ,take the proverbial,wind them up so they loose their rag and do some silly
but stick tight...
maybe I've done this before??
Don't think I can remember a gw were i've got 67 points from 2 players, benteke (c) and austin, well chuffed! 😀
Would you bench Bellerin or PVA this week?
PVA
PvA
PVA. May bench both here.
Or start both and bench someone else from this team
Myhill
Terry, Bertrand, xxx
Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Silva
Aguero, Kane, Benteke
PVA, BellerinBench xxx
🙂
Myhill.
no you can't. So still PVA.Cheers
Just remembered I signed Benteke in December and after scoring 1,2,2 i said NEVER AGAIN.
Haha glad I remembered this now, the week after i pulled Aguero > Benteke 🙂No one considering Oscar for the double?
He's not nailed
