With the previous Gameweek finally coming to its conclusion yesterday evening, we now take time to delve into the data. Amongst tonight’s topics are Chelsea’s stand-in striker and in-form wide man, the City midfield, Palace’s form players at both ends of the pitch and Villa and Arsenal’s clinical frontmen.
Forgot to include Ericksson starting.
Any help guys?
id do hutton to aldewereid today before alde rises or hutton drops and bench dawson prob cos of the double up or maybe pva
Thoughts on this plan?
Current squad:
Panti
Terry - Vert - Alder
Sanchez - Haz - Eriksen - Mane
Aguero - Austin - Kane
Krul; Mahrez, Dawson, PvA
3.7ITB + 2FT
GW32: Austin > Remy
GW33: Eriksen > Silva
GW34: Vert + Mane > Moreno/Sakho + Sterling
GW34 squad:
Krul
Terry - Moreno/Sakho - Alder
Sanchez - Haz - Silva - Sterling - Mahrez
Aguero - Remy
Panti; Kane, Dawson, PvAThis is assuming Liverpool have a double in GW34 🙂
I would be inclined to keep Eriksen in GW33 with his fixture - Newcastle away. Especially given that you'll be taking a hit in GW34.
All things being equal, perhaps save the GW34 FT?No hits involved in this plan. I currently have 2FTs. Sick of Eriksen haha.
Ah nice! I missed the 2FT in the rundown above. Go for it!!
Remy ahead of an additional Chelsea MID alongside Hazard? If Costa is slated to return midway through the DGW - Does Remy become less attractive as a FWD option?
My current thinking is that Fabregas/Oscar (replacing Mane) ahead of Remy may be the way to go
I'd go with Terry, Iva and Hazard i think. Unless Costa is guaranteed to be fit for the start of GWK 34.
Would probably have Ivan/Fab/Hazard for the double, unless Mourinho confirms that Costa is 100% out. Double Chelsea def was all good and well until they started struggling against everyone
Agreed! Although I have Terry instead of Ivanovic.
The possibility of Drogba getting the nod ahead of Remy is also of concern...
Chelsea won't win any of their games in the DGW.
Almost as funny to think that Leicester will win both of their games in the DGW 🙂
I'll take 4 points. 😉
They'll beat Leicester easily.
Just like last time we played, yeah?
Is the Remy move people are planning not a little premature? Costa could be back for the the double
premature is the wrong word, i mean a waste. Sorry, hungover.
I'm thinking the same, SAB.
I think I prefer a Chelsea MID double-up over the uncertainty of Remy's starts
It's a matter of needs must. Think it's fairly safe to assume Costa will be missing given the nature of the injury, but there is a small degree of risk in it.
What would you guys do with this team with 2FT
Ospina
Terry-Zouma-Bertrand
Sanchez-Hazard-Silva-Eriksen
Aguero-Austin-Kane
Wollscheid-Boyd-naughton+0.7
Thinking of replacing Naughton, what do you guys think and who for?
Not convinced on Remy but Fabregas is looking like a decent option again. Thoughts?
Even with Chelsea's recent defensive troubles, I would still have JT + Ivan over Remy/Fab
I'm not sure if I should get a Chelsea defender or not. Got triple Southampton and I want to see how Southampton do this weekend. Zouma is a problem I need to get rid of though.
I know its early, but how would this look for a DGW team? (Assuming DGW 34 for Liverpool).
3-5-2
Davis
Skrtel, Ivan, Terry
Hazard, Silva, Coutinho, Henderson, Mane
Aguero, Kane(Or someone else)Looks great.
Problem is fixing the team after the DGW, I plan to WC to this team but will probably have to get rid of some of the Liverpool players. I don't mind sticking to a 3-5-2 formation though. But then again, Liverpool have QPR at home after the DGW.
Do we know when the Liverpool DGW will be announced? I would like to plan my transfers if it's during GW34.
Naughton >>
A - Morgan
B - Schlupp
🙂Schlupp - attacking threat
Benteke/Austin were really safe picks for the DGW because they're the main goalscorers for their side. If you fancy they have a chance of scoring...it's likely to be them. I'm going to be wary when picking my Liverpool attackers because of the distribution of goals and assists this year. Skrtel's goal threat and BAP potential is fantastic. May get him.
I think Henderson is the one to pick for assists. Goal scoring is a gamble.
Luckily I'm a Liverpool supporter so I'm decent on knowing how Rodgers will lineup! He said recently in the media he wanted more goals and today he fielded an attacking lineup which did well.
Who would you prefer for the DGW, Coutinho or Sterling?
Sterling. Easily, imo.
Sterling. His attacking returns only diminished because he was moved to wingback. Coutinho is doing well but he looks more for the pass than the shot.
6 goals / 8 assists / 19BPs @ 6.6m - worthwhile consideration for cheap(er) Liverpool coverage.
He assisted Coutinho today (albeit it was the FA cup)
Henderson's been thriving this season. Doesn't have to defend for Gerrard anymore. I expect him to get higher numbers next season as being the main captain.
Agreed! Could be the go-to man for Liverpool MID coverage for the remainder of the season & a worthy consideration for a starting MID berth at the start of next season (price-dependent, of course)
That's the big decision for their double, Henderson or Coutinho.
Thinking one of them plus Moreno and Sturridge along with Ivanovic, Hazard and Remy for the best coverage of both teams if they are in 34.
Anyone going a different route?Going Skrtel and Sterling probably.
At the moment I plan on going with Skrtel + Henderson + Coutinho, not 100% sure on Coutinho though, I may end up switching with Sterling. Sturridge hasn't done enough for me to consider him, and I would have Skrtel over Moreno any day of the week.
Yeah, I'm not overly keen in Sturridge but over those two games I fear him hurting me the most.
Would prefer Skrtel but would need the extra funds to bring Giroud and Ramsey in for 35/36/37 so in my case it's dictated by those moves, Moreno seems to play every week or may look at Glen Johnson of he's back and nailed.
Skrtel/Henderson & maybe Sturridge
Austin replacement:
A- Berahino (LEI, cpl)
B- Murray (sun, WBA)
C- Gomis (EVE, lei)
D- Other
Thoughts appreciatedI'm doing C, then will probably get rid after the Leicester game when I WC.
Murray and keep for home game v Hull too
Thanks guys... food for thought! I'm still no closer to deciding...
I've got a sneaky feeling that Schlupp will be dropped.
I will hold back on this transfer then for GW33 Morgan if this is the case...dropped for who do you think?
Konchesky, most likely.
Schlupp was woeful on the weekend. He can't defend in a back four.To be fair he plays for a team that generally can't defend 😉
That's a given. But, he's on another level. Going forward, too, he lacks composure.
Thoughts on what to do here..
Fabianski,
Ivanovich, Clyne, Rose,
Eriksen, Hazard, Silva, Siggy,
Giroud, Kane, Aguero
Subs: Myhill, PVA, Boyd, Naughton
2.4m, 1ft, WC available
Will prob WC IN gw 34.
Save this week and then double transfer next week before WC?Save FT this GW - double down the following GW.
Solid looking side for this GW
Last Man Standing
Safety score = 53
Players left = 84, players knocked out = 33
30% or bottom 26 out next GW.
Well done to those still involved. 🙂Cheers.
Cheers TM.
Panti, Krul
Terry, Clyne, Moreno, Schlupp, Robertson
Hazard, Silva, Sterling, Henderson, Mahrez
Aguero, Costa, Kane
😎To many Leicester players 😉
I like the Robertson pick though, although I'm not sure if he is nailed.I might avoid Schlupp and just keep Mahrez. Don't really want to remove Dawson.
Hopefully he recovers from injury and starts the next few. At his price, he's a shoe-in for the DGW.
Who? Mahrez?
Robertson.
Mahrez, too, though. Need him to start seeing out games.
If Brady is fit he will start over Robertson.
What're you basing this off?
SB likes him, he's more reliable, knows what to expect. Robertson is very unpredictable and is woeful at Defending.
Fabregas or Remy for 3rd chelsea spot ? (have hazard and terry)
I would have Ivanovic over Fabregas and Remy
I'd just stick with those two. I'm going with Ivanovic and Hazard probably. Just got Hazard at the moment.
Pants
Ivan, Terry, Kosc
Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Mane
Kun, Kane, Austin
Krul, Boyd, Dawson, Wolly
2ft, 1.5m
Whats the ideas lads?Austin out to whoever you want.
Downgrade Austin.
Play a 352 with Sterling as the fifth midfielder.Nvm, do this.
Or Boyd>Henderson
Keep FT
Anyone else plan on using their WC on GW 34? I'm worried that by doing so I would be stuck with 3 Liverpool players with the Chelsea game around the corner.
Is Sturridge nailed on to start when fit , or will he continue to be rested and rotated ?
Aguero to Sturridge has been tempting me. The blank has turned me off though should I do Austin to Murray instead? Or save FT?
Myhill
Ivan, Terry, Fonte, Pva
Hazard, Silva, Eriksen, Manè
Kane, Aguero
Krul, Austin, Koscielny, Cork 1ft 2.1 itb
Austin to Murray.
Best keeper to pick up out of Fab or Davis to team up with Panti the rest of the year. Is the Cech emergency loan a legitimate concern with picking up Davis?
Hear ye, hear ye.
Ragnar Lothbrook greeds you with a question.
Pants, Krul
Ivan, Kos, Berty, PVA, Wasi
Alexis, Haz, Silva, Mané, Boyd
Benteke, Austin, Kane
1FT, what to do with it?
Austin or Tekkers out
Thanks tips, for who is the question.
Austin out. Murray in.
What do yous think of getting Courtois to go with Haz + Ivano or Terry. He's cheaper than both DEFs and you could play him the rest of the season with no risk of rotation. I know both DGW fixs are away, but still...Leicester
Very high risk of rotation IMO (especially once the title is wrapped up), clean sheets at the Emirates are rarer than flying pigs, and Leicester play with the attacking abandon of a team that can't defend, and are fighting for their lives.
Thanks Bengal. So who are you bringing in for the DGW from CHE? Haz, Ivan and ???
Another attacking player.
Depends on whether Costa/Fabregas are fit and if Cesc avoids suspension, but most likely Fabregas, Remy or Costa.
I wouldn't be surprised if Cech got a couple of starts late in the season to round off his Chelsea career.
Good point - especially if the title is wrapped up.
What to do with this??
Myhill,
Iva, PVA, Dawson,
Hazard, Sanchez, Silva, Ericksson
Kane (c) Austin, Aguero
Panti, Yoshida, Hutton (inj), Ameobi
2FT, 0.4 itb
A: Thinking Austin -> Gomis
B: Somthing else??
Any advice appreciated!Ericksson > Eriksen and save.
Austin to Vardy
Vardy has Chelsea during the DGW.... Its more like a single GW plus 2 points.
Chelsea haven't been keeping many CS lately...
In your opinion who is the best DGW striker to have for GW34 (assuming that Liverpool has their DGW in 34 too)
Vardy
Think I might have to get him, then switch to 3-5-2 for the rest of the season.
I think I may go without a DGW striker, but no doubt it has to be Remy/Costa (depending on which one is fit)
What about Sturridge
Costa if fit, Sturridge
Any reason not to do Foster + Austin ➡ Davis + Gomis now?
Vardy has a DGW
I have a WC.
So wait on the news on when the DGW happens for Liverpool, if it happens on GW37 then go ahead with Vardy and save the WC for then, If GW34 then you can take punts
I'm not going for Vardy... He plays for Leicester 😆
and Austin plays for QPR, and Benteke plays for Villa.
Don't tell me your trying to compare Vardy to Austin and Benteke 😆
Benteke only 5g 2a going into DGW.
Vardy has 2g 10a so far.
Don't be a fool. DGWs are the perfect time to take punts.Fair point. But Burnley away and Chelsea at home could be difficult. I won't be touching him. Going with 3 pool + 3 Chelsea instead
That's fine but LEI are fighting for their lives.
Don't laugh at people that think outside the box.
Look at what happened when people bought Phillips for the DGW... they got rewarded immensely.
Would anyone consider him in a single gameweek? Probably not, but there is a lot of upside in DGWs.Just saw that Vardy is 4.5 😯 I thought he was around 5.5-6.0 for some reason. May go with him then...
Those without wildcards. If Liverpool double is in 34 how many DGW players will you have or will you aim for?
I can get 6 (Liverpool/Chelsea) with a hit. Wouldn't be adverse to taking another hit to get 7 but I think that would be my lot, don't want to butcher my team too much without a wildcard to fix.Let's wait and see when the DGW is first before speculating
That's no fun Acqua! 🙂
Scout tweets say by tomorrow morning we should know.
More importantly the Hull City website says it will be announced today.
That indicates that contingency plans have been made in advance. And that suggests GW34.
Despite when it is, I'm looking at having Haz, Ivan +1 CHE and Hendo, +1 or 2 LIV (Sterling, Sturr, Skrtel)
Possibly Vardy to make funds for Sturr.
Double game weeks are quite funny actually. I probably won't take a -8 to get a 7th player (Hull or Leicester).
But....I am now thinking that I could bottle the Remy move - get in Vardy instead. Wait on more Chelsea news and if needed I'll take a -8 to get the Liverpool/Chelsea players I need.The scout news doesn't sound good for Remy for DGW.
No? The scout tweet is based on one newspaper report subsequently quoted by 2 other papers.
The report makes it clear that while Costa might like to get back for the Arsenal game it is quite unlikely.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/11520671/Chelsea-news-Diego-Costa-desperate-to-recover-in-time-for-title-decider-against-Arsenal.html
I think someone just read the headline rather than the content.
The chances of Costa being back that week are slim and none.
How can you have seven? Max of three per team.
LEI and HUL also have DGWs
A 7th DGW player
Ah gotcha.
Can get six without hits Probably Terry, Hazard, Remy, Skrtel, Henderson, Coutinho but is it worth a hit to bring in one from Lei or hull?
It could well be, double game week players are great!
I'm not convinced there's another Benteke/Austin in there but a punt on someone like Vardy or Nugent could be worthwhile.That would mean dropping Aguero or Kane. I know it's not a popular view but I think Aguero has been unlucky and could explode at anytime and Kane is a fixture for the season so barring injuries I think it's down to the six.
I doubt it's with a hit for a defender although Robertson is the most tempting. What do you reckon?
Terry, Ivan, Hazard, Skrtel, Henderson, Sterling/Coutinho and maybe a 7th if one impresses me 😉
Which to get for the next 2 gwks only (WCing gwk 34)?
A. Remy (qpr, MUN)
B. Gomis (EVE, lei)A
Two weeks only I'd probably go for Gomis. No wildcard for me so it has to be Remy and keep for the DGW
I also tempted by Remy, but, he wears gloves in April. WTF!!!!!
Needs to man up.😆
RMT
We good to go?
Panti
Ivanovic Alderweireld Dawson
Hazard(vc) Sanchez Silva Eriksen
Sturridge Kane(c) Berahino
(Heaton, PVA, Zouma, Moses)
9 years, 2 months agoWhat to do with this??
2FT, 0.4 itb
Myhill,
Iva, PVA, Dawson,
Hazard, Sanchez, Silva,
Kane (c) Austin, Aguero
Panti, Yoshida, Hutton (inj), Ameobi
A: Thinking Austin -> Gomis
B: Somthing else??
Save other FT to ship Sanchez and somebody for GW33.
Realize i run into problems with defense GW 33 with PVA and Yoshida not a cover option.
Something else?? Any advice appreciated!
