Our attentions turn to the weekend’s matches as we delve into the data this evening. We cast an eye over Villa’s in-form duo, assess a couple of Sunderland prospects and analyse the goal threat of Hull’s weekend hero and Liverpool’s little Brazilian as the two go head-to-head at the KC tomorrow.
-
Early ideas on this lot?
Schmeichel - Pantilimon
van Aanholt - McShane - Duff - Terry - Skrtel
Hazard - Henderson - Sterling - Cambiasso - Fàbregas
Vardy - Agüero - Giroud
1 FT, £3.6m in the bank.
Save the FT this week?
Bench Cambiasso?
Cheers in advance.-
Maybe fabregas to Sanchez or ozil
-
Bench Cambiasso. Seems obvious?
Fabregas -> Sanchez-
Might wait a week. Palace are pretty useless in defence.
-
I'll have to see how affective Fabregas is against Leicester, should be a good guide as to his prospects against Palace
-
-
Jose could take the shackles of the boys if they win on Wed...
-
-
See how Liverpool get on. May want to ditch the double midfield.
-
Gonna be hard to ditch before qpr at home.
-
True that but if they cant produce on a dgw with 2 easy games yiu really have to question holding on to them. Esp with Chelsea looming. Also Had missed seeing fab on the next line. Thiugh a potential title winning match at home to palace on the cards there too
-
-
-
I would save FT this week.
Then Cesc to Sanchez and Sterling to Ozil-
The likely scenario, cheers.
-
-
Cheers all.
-
think you are GTG w/ your arsenal cover for at least this week. Save the transfer.
-
I'd save for sure TM. Liverpool aren't setting the world on fire but they're miles better at Anfield so you may as well stick with the mids and load up on Arsenal next week. Also, someone may get injured or sent off which could force your hand.
-
Cheers BK.
-
-
vardy to tekkers maaaan
-
-
Would Balo start tonight? Personally, I think he will.
-
I certainly hope not.
-
Don't see why not. Sturridge still not fit and Lambert won't get a look in.
-
Unless he opts Sterling up front and beef up the midfield
-
With Lallana back its a possibility.
-
^this. Mario was and is terrible
-
Yep, that would like be grand for Sterling (c) here
-
-
-
-
-
What to do here lads?
Mig
Skrtel JT Clyne
Sterling Hazard Cesc Silva
Gru Kane Kun
Myhil Wolly Cawson Sameobi
1 FT & 0.1 ITB
A) Cesc to Rambo
B) Cesc to Ozil
C) Save FT-
C) Mainly because I'm not sure who is best between Ozil and Ramsey. When in doubt save a FT.
-
Agreed. I will most likely go for Ozil though. More nailed on than Rambo I think
-
I'd do the same. In saying that you might be more keen to get Sanchez if you can find a way to get the funds.
-
-
-
C
-
C
-
-
Mr coutinho it is now your time to shine. I bought u in after watching u play extremely well in real terms and scoring a couple of screamers. Since then uve treated me to a couple of assists and bugger all else. U seem to be able to score in the cup though. Tonight my friend, I want double digits!
-
Incorrect spelling for Sterling there
-
I kinda want him to do something as he was my transfer, cheeky 7 points maybe. But I don't want much more because he's not my (c) and my main rival has him (c) and just 40 behind.
-
Obviously Sterling is my captain. The reason why I want Cou fail is simple. I do not have him 🙂
-
I feel the same about hendo and n doye, blanks please
-
-
-
-
-
If you were to have a team made from animals what animals would you play in each position?
-
Pass
-
Logically an Elephant in goal would be tricky to score against.
-
Jungle cat in goals surely.
-
-
Whale
Lion / Lion / Lion / Lion
Cheetah / Gorilla / Gorilla / Cheetah
Bear / Messi-
Bear for hold-up play, obviously
-
Yeah A kind of Carsten Janker kind of player
-
-
-
Donkey up top seems to be the default 😆
-
It works for Arsenal
-
-
Octopus
Gazelle gorilla rhino giraffe
Cheetah aardvark lion mouse
Giraffe alpaca-
Nice team. Octopus would be handy
-
2 giraffes?
-
Yeah I noticed that afterwards. I must really like giraffes....
-
Giraffe might be good in the air but how good would he be on the deck? Could a horse offer a better mix of allround pace and power?
-
Moose?
-
U may laugh but 6 goals and 4 assists in 8 appearances is not to be scoffed at!
-
-
Think a horse would work v well actually. Thanks for advice.
-
More of a Alan Shearer compared to a Peter Crouch kind of player
-

does anyone have a ars defender in their dgw plans? I currently have bellerin and sanchez looking to get either ozil or ramsey as my 3rd player.
-
Yes, I'm planning Gru, Ozil and Kos.
I think those 3 are most nailed on along with Sanchez.-
yeah I want to see if bellerin continues to start the next couple of gw's. He might not start the 2 dgw games though.
-
-
Ospina...wish I had went for Kos but dont have he funds
-
I can't stand how Ozil turns off for long periods of the match...but he is on corners on some set pieces. Rambo is cheaper....
-
-
I might be over thinking this but im protecting a 20+ lead (hopfully more) in my $ML...
-I've got no Arsenal attacking cover atm
-Both of my rivals have Southampton D cover
-Rivals have no Arsenal attacking cover either, hits likely.
A. -4 Vardy and Terry to Giroud and Toby
B. Sterling to Rambo
C. Somesing else
Thanks-
I maybe wrong but I think Toby has an issue with his shoulder. U need arsenal. Ramsey would be ok I guess, I'd prefer ozil though.
-
Toby started and played 90 on Saturday...
-
Yeah I was reading somewhere that he played through the pain barrier after damaging his shoulder but at what cost sort of thing. Since I can't remember where I read, it's worth looking it up cos not sure how reliable.
-
http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/32473929
He can't really exacerbate the injury, it's just extremely painful.-
Ok cheers dude, knew I'd read something...
-
-
-
-
-
-
Just put a £10 treble on pool, Bayern and barca @ 3-1. Easy £40 right?
-
No away team in the prem is easy money, especially Liverpool vs fighting for dear life Hull, but 10 pound is sensible stake for a treble.
-
-
No price changes tonight?
-
FPL having a night off.
-
Winding down until the end of the season
-
-
I'm normally well on top of all price changes right till the end in fpl, but this season been playing a different game, not checked sites for months. In comparison in previous seasons was checking daily!
-
Me too. Not checked at all since totalfpl became rubbish
-
-
-
Which players from the likely teams to be relegated do you think will be poached by premier league in the summer. Charlie Austin seems like an obvious one. Some mid table team will pick him up I am sure
-
Ings has been linked with many clubs already
-
Your question underlines how well Burnley have done to even compete. Don't think many of their players will go except maybe ings.
-
I can see Boyd going to someone like a West Ham or Aston Villa
Charlie Austin to a non-top-six club
Leroy Fer could end up somewhere in the Prem League too i reckon
-
-
Austin and ings will defo need up at a villa or Everton sort of club.
-
I feel like Austin would be a great fit at Newcastle
-
Aye he would.
-
Then he could get injured for the season
-
-
-
Isn't Ing's being linked to Sociadad?
-
Maybe not heard ought, would be shame to lose him from league IMO. Good goalscorer.
-
Maybe a trip abroad will be good for his development?
-
-
-
-
Austin, Ings, Trippier, Fer. Maybe Pantilimon/Mannone too.
-
This
+mat. Philips
-
-
Austin should get a move where he'll be the main man, Swansea or Stoke would suit. Competition might be a bit too stiff at Everton, Pool or Spurs.
Ings will go somewhere but apart from one brief purple patch he hasn't impressed me much, Burnley's underlying problem is they can't score goals yet he's been ever present all season.
Would expect Matt Philips, Caulker and Trippier to get snapped up by lower table PL clubs.
Also expect Adam Johnson to leave Sunderland for prison. -
Keiran Trippier and George Boyd.
-
-
I'm planning to do sterling to Sanchez.
The question is should I do it this week or next? Liverpool have a better fix but arsenal's is also decent so it is a tough choice.-
Its a tough call alright. Not many GWs left now, its more about points than being conservative so saving the FT is not as important imo.
-
I'm not thinking about saving transfer... Simply who will score better next week
-
-
See what Liverpool do in their next fixture. If they seem poor again I would just do it this week
-
Yeah sounds about right
-
-
Both are good captaincy options this week, it'll be dumb luck as to who scores better.
-
Thanks for help. Deadzone can always be relied on
-
have you got silva scored?
-
-
-
This team has had a horrific week so far. What would you suggest
Pants - Davis
Ivanovic - Clyne - Bellerin - Schlupp
Hazard - Silva - Sterling - Cambiasso - Puncheon
Aguero - Kane - Costa
What do you suggest for next week?-
Clyne & Costa > PVA & Giroud
-
Costa+silva→benteke+sanchez ?
-
Thanks for those. Will have a look at them
-
keep silva, yyt is out and u koe wats coming
-
-
a good defender around 5.5?
-
Smalling
-
Kolarov, Stones, Alderweireld, Cresswell, Smalling, Lescott
-
Monreal or kolarov (5.7 if you can)
-
Stones? Some good fixtures coming up. Or, just get ahead on the DGW with Monreal (although you might prefer attackers for Arsenal), or O'Shea, PVA.....something like that. Not much to go with in that price zone, but some decent options.
-
thanks everyone. Yeah I was thinking stones and I already have bellerin and PVA
-
I have Baines (got him in for the last two games) and am looking forward to staying on the Everton train. They're riding a high right now. Could prove to be a wave worth trying to surf FPL-style, or something like that.
-
-
-
Any early ideas for this team?
Davis, Myhill
Ivan, Terry, Skrtel, PVA, Wollscheid
Hazard, Sanchez, Silva, Sterling, Lucas
Aguero, Kane, Vardy
0.5 ITB
I'm thinking Silva out for Ozil perhaps? That move precludes me from Arsenal defense for the DGW, assuming I get Giroud in-
You can roll out a great starting XI this week ... maybe hold the FT and next week do Silva / Sterling and a Chlesea defender > Koscielny & Ozil / Ramsay or Vardy > Giroud
-
Silva → rambo
-
silva to
-
silva to rambo jay
-
-
-
what's your point mr hy?
-
A shame he couldn't accept my apology. I did call him a junkie, so happy to wear a little bit of banter here 😉 Thanks Champ.
-
good on ya mate 🙂
irks me crap like that. so ya thought burnley would score. nothing wrong with that. if we had crystal balls would all be millionaires
-
-
-
Haha ... yeah i do now 🙂
I thought I might be made to eat my words at some stage ... I gave a massive apology to the community yesterday for my ill-advice, so I'm happily taking this on the chin 🙂
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/10186812
Did you end up with some Leicester points in your team this week?-
Fair play to you Mr Eagles.
Glad I ignored... 🙂-
Haha ... cheers GNU.
I feel I'll become the Anti-Christ of FPL ... whatever advice I give, do the opposite and you're good to go.
All in good fun.
-
-
-
-
Wickham for the DGW?
-
I literally laughed out loud at that. But, you know, it might not be that insane. Either way, what a d$%k for doing this kind of stuff again. Why does only get his act together at the end of the season? Something is up with all that, and I don't like it!
-
Guess he was hurt or something last season? Can't remember exactly. Just know he came firing out the gates for the run in. If he's gonna do that again, could be gravy train.
-
He was on loan in the Championship then was recalled and fired them to safety.
-
That was it. Thanks.
-
-
-
"The Closer" ... loves an end-of-season dance to seal a new contract!
I'd seriously consider him for the DGW
-
-
It is that time of year...
-
I bought him early in the season 🙁
-
y not defoe?
-
Wickhams form seems better
-
Form.
-
but that goal seem fluke
Defoe had 2 clear chances, could have scored too
then again its too early to decide who to bring on, i would go Defoe...that guy is a predator-
At 32, his predator days are limited.
Wickham had more shots on goal on the weekend too.-
I tend to agree, Wickham is raw talent with a lot of potential (albeit not met that yet) whereas Defoe, whilst undoubtedly a quality striker, has slowed a little and probably doesn't have the motivation to re-sign a contract and finish the season on a high.
-
-
Arsenal away part of dgw and Stamford bridge gw38... i'd probably avoid spending a striker slot on a Sunderland.
-
-
-
-
-
Re Ian, yes I've got Silva
-
friends call me champ 😉
why not do what im doing? silva to sanchez/rambo this week. sterling to sanchez/rambo next week...-
Hey Champ, double or nothing is starting to get close. 😉
-
Them's fightin' words TM 🙂
-
😯 where you at now mate?
-
19 behind.
Court + Moreno/6 + 19
vs
Schm + McS + Skrtel + Fab + Vardy + Camb
-
-
-
-
-
Who to ship for Sanchez?
1. Sterling
2. Fabregas
3. Silva-
Let them play another game.
Perhaps wait a week. -
2
-
-
G'day guys
A. Sterling and Ramsey
B. Henderson and Ozil-
b for me
-
b
-
id have ozil over ramsey regardless of price
-
-
Front 8 for next week - bench one: Hazard Fabregas Sterling Ramsey Aguero Kane Vardy
-
+ Henderson (currently on him)
-
Hendo atm.
-
-
Fabregas
-
I have similar except Sanchez and Silva instead of Fabregas and Ramsey. Currently tossing up between Hendo and Silva for the bench.
-
Henderson
-
Mmm Fabregas, Palace are decent away from home they won't make it easy for Chelsea
-
Crazy I know but I'd bench Kane.
-
-
Morning lads. Whether to keep Bellerin or not is the question? Should I take him out so I could later bring in Kosc or do we think he is nailed on?
-
No-one really knows, if he was nailed he'd be a very popular choice, but a lot of people seem to think he might only play one game of the DGW. Monitor this next few weeks and see what Wenger does with him ... if you can leave your Arsenal defender until the last FT then make the decision then. I'd be leaving enough in the budget to afford Koscielny if you could, though.
-
Alright. Makes sense. Cheers.
-
If anything, I would say that Kosc would be rested for the midweek game, since he has been carrying a foot injury all season. 3 games in 8 days?
-
-
-
Pondering the same thing.. Not sure on this but feel that it might be the time to ship
-
-
Question about general strategy.
If you have a player whose value overall is excellent, how many weeks of bad form do you give them before selling?
I think most people are too impatient, but I am the opposite, probably too patient. Earlier in the season I kept Downing for ages , living off his early season form.
or does it depend on other factors like stats, performances or team played for?-
I do that too. Giving players with good value time. Before it used to be 3 GWs time, now I'm looking to change that.
-
Yeah I would agree that 3GWs is very low, since pretty much every non premium player will go through barren patches much longer
-
-
If there are new options in form, move them on.
Sold Kane on WC & happy so far. It's a sprint now, the marathon is nearly over.-
Yeah this is where my patience is questionable. There's no way I'd sell kane
-
His ownership is an issue but the members area isn't his friend along with the fixtures.
-
-
Currently mulling over Kanes spot, moving him on on the WC makes good sense.
-
-
If i think about it i guess reputation and past performance influence me to hold onto players, maybe too long.
If Silva, Giroud or Kane blank in a few i persuade myself they will come good. If it were Pelle, Benteke or even Eriksen i get rid quicker. -
Depends on how many pts a player has returned. For example, likes of Coutinho and Mane have provided good returns, so its fine for me to keep them till end. But Kane havent returned many pts since I got him, so taking him out wont be an issue.
Its sort of favouritism, attachment to a player.
I also try to bring players whom I like so that its easy to hold them for long.-
You got Kane late then!
-
Yes, because I dont like him 😛
-
And coutinho/ mane early.... I've had them for blanks only haha
-
-
-
-
Depending on priority and form of the current available options. Eriksen stays long in my team due to fixtures(not that i want to)
-
-
Greetings from Colombia, which of the following would you do?
Myhill / Panti
Terry / Skrtle / Bellerin / Schlupp / Rose
Ozil / Hazard / Hendo / Coutinho / Mahrez
Vardy / Aguero / Giroud
A) Save transfer -> transfer Bellerin and mid to XXX and Rambo
B) Vardy -> Benteke
C) Something else-
Probably A. I love bellerin but think the chances he plays both dgw games are low
-
I'd keep Bellerin for now and see how this pans out ... you never know when Debuchy might drop like a bag of potatoes again ... and to be fair Bellerin has kept clean sheets when he's played recently, Wenger is astute enough not to tamper with a winning formula.
Could be wise to have an exit strategy though.-
You might be right. A lot of upside in having 3 arsenal attacking players though
I sold him so biased
-
-
-
B
-
Save if Vardy's okay to play Newcastle
-
-
Bring in sanchez or ramsey? Price not a concern since left a few weeks
-
Probably have to go with Sanchez
-
Sanchez
-
Thanks guys 🙂
-
-
Vardy playing second game??
-
Depends on his foot and manager.
-
He had an injection before last game and there was talk of resting tired players. I am not confident and I own him
-
fantastic grav
-
cheers
-
-
Hope not
-
-
In the members area, is there a way of making stats graphs for a player?
For example, I'd like to pick a stat like shots in the box, and then look at a player's trend throughout the season to see if they've suddenly stopped or started getting chances.-
Don't use the members area too much but THREAT seems a decent way of measuring this.
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/player-profiles/harry-kane/
You could look at each GW individually.-
Thanks. I think doing it week by week might make me cry, but I could do it in units of six weeks maybe
-
Use GW range. May as well start from GW11 where he got full minutes.
-
How do you know I mean kane? Haha
-
I'm a mod. 😛
-
-
-
-
-
KPI is what you want. You can compare Kane's last 6 GW's to all his previous GW's if you want to see if his form has dropped.
-
Nice
-
-
-
Hi guys, is there any Moreno news? Can't find any anywhere so I'm guessing he's fit to start.
-
No idea ... hoping he comes on at the 75 minute mark (once Sterling has a hat-trick, all assisted by Henderson) and gets a yellow card.
-
I hope that goes the same way as your advice
-
-
-
Mignolet
Ivan, Bertrand, Bellerin
Hazard (C), Sterling, Hendo, Silva
Kane, Remy, Kane
Krul | Boyd, Clyne, PvA
1FT, 2.0ITB
Thoughts here lads?-
Remy is the main issue would look to move him on.
-
Guessing it's Kun.
-
Crap 😀
One of the Kane's is Kun, yep haha.
Cheers, TM. Giroud or Benteke?-
tekkers and you can still get two more arsenal. gonna have to cross ya fingers on bellend
-
So your not a fan of Giroud champ?
And yep, just gonna have to hope Bellerin holds his place and starts both of the DGW games
-
-
I got Giroud on WC when I had the choice last week & benched him.
-
Fair enough. Think I'll probably go with him
-
-
I guess it depends on whether you are going to keep Vellerin as one of your 3 Arsenal for gw37. If yes, Benteke followed by two Arsenal mids, if not I'd go for Giroud.
-
Yes, I plan on keeping Bellerin and hoping.
Why should I only get Giroud if I ditch Bellerin? Don't see the logic there.
Cheers-
Probably to do with possible rotation
-
-
-
-
-
-
Arsenal dgw is the main one with Remy to Giroud for starters. You wait on Arsenal & take a punt on Benteke.
-
Yeah I think that's what it's down to. Which one would you go for?
-
It's a tough call. I might have both but at the moment I've gone Giroud... I might regret not getting Bentrke but that's still to be pondered....
-
Another option over the next 2 weeks is Silva sterling Remy > ozil Ramsay benteke?
-
Yep that's another option. It's tough. Another option is
this week: Remy -> Benteke
next week: Sterling -> Ozil
GW37: Clyne -> 4.6 def, Kane -> Giroud (-4)-
Double Southampton def is too much Imo but not a priority. Kane looks good for last 2 weeks if I remember. I'd be taking a hit sooner than gw37 personally. I don't fancy 2 ManC now so that's why Isuggested silca out. Aguero out would let you get Sanchez. Again, I shifted Silva and kept Kun.
-
Yeah it is, not a priority though as I can always bench one of them.
Kane has HUL and eve. HUL looks good but everton away not so much. How about this?
GW35: Remy -> Benteke
GW36: Sterling -> Ozil
GW37: Keep Kane and do Silva -> Sanchez, Clyne -> 5.6 DEF-
I don't have fixtures handy as on mobile in bed (can't sleep!!) but I'm sure I prefer hit in 35 or 36 for some reason.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Also what I'm waiting on is if Sterling blanks again I'd consider a hit for Arsenal mid... Ramsay for me.
-
Yeah I plan on shipping Sterling next week. Actually looking at Ozil, looks more nailed and plays just behind Giroud. On set pieces too
-
-
-
Does Remy to Benteke work cash wise?
-
Yep. I can afford both him and Giroud
-
-
-
Should I stick with Panti/Myhill as my keeper pairing? Def is Skrtel Morgan Ivan PvA McShane
-
Seems a waste after WCing but Myhill has very tough games & Pants isn't great.
-
Yeah thinking along the same lines. Stuck with Myhill at first because I needed money for Arsenal players. Now i feel like a FT is justified if my new keeper gets at least 2 clean sheets or so.
-
-
-
Evening lads,
Any injury updates on Moreno or Vardy?-
Not really.
-
I heard Moreno was in training? Good sign?
-
Well yes. That would be a good sign
-
-
-
