We delve into the Gameweek 3 data this evening in our first members article of the week. Up front, we assess Bournemouth, Chelsea and Liverpool’s lone forwards, whilst there’s plenty to analyse in the centre of the park, as we take a look at some standout statistics from Villa, Palace, United, West Ham and Norwich.
0FT, worth taking any hits?
Should I WC after this GW perhaps?
Pantilimon (Schwarzer)
Azpi Kolarov Cedric (Huth, 4.0)
Haz Ozil Mahrez Chadli (4.5)
Aguero Benteke Sakho
Decided that I don't want to sit on Payet, and will be removing him, best replacement?
I'll have 7.8 to spend, and already have Mahrez.
oooh, thanks, just what I need, thanks Doos!
Redmond
Definitely has to be considered, but I've been burnt before...
Depay > Coutinho this week sound good?
Ya Ya Za Za
Thoughts on my WC team?
Ruddy - (Rudd)
Kolorav - Gomez - Shaw (Richards - Steven Taylor)
Sanchez - Silva - Pedro - Redmond - Mahrez
Aguero - Gomis (Graham)
I have nothing in the bank, Any improvements that need to be made?
If you only went for one.....
A) Coutinho
B) Benteke
What happens when Sturridge returns?
Still a bit to go before that happens
He's on course to be fit for United match.
Where are you Breadbin?
My weekly post for my son's side.
You guys expertise better than mine apparently!
Romero McCarthy
Muneisa Kolarov Darmian Huth Saylor
Payet Mahrez Ayew Sanchez Silva
Aguero Benteke Grabban
174 pts and 21k ATM.
Cheers for advice
Hello, I'm here.
Save transfer, lovely team. Romero may need to go soon if De Gea stays. Lots of flexibility with 2 transfers next week.Thanks mate.
No Chelsea cover. Dad says will be a must soon.
But it can wait a week.
Which Def to play this weekend??
A) TARGETT
B) RICHARDS
Leaning towards A..
A
What to do with this lot? 1FT, 0.2M ITB.
Courtois
Darmian Williams Kolarov
Yaya Toure Sanchez (v) Mahrez Chadli Depay
Gomis Aguero (C)
Bench: Richards, Prodl, Rantie, McCarthy
Play Richards in place of Williams.
You think? Sunderland seem more prolific in front of goal than Utd right now. It's also a nice safety net in case Depay blanks...again.
😀 I'm expecting ManUtd attack to slowly improve. Sunderland attack is rubbish.
That no doubt explains why Defoe is only 6th on the forwards' list ...
What to do this week?
Butland, Myhill
Bellerin, Targett, richards, Kompany, Darmian
Redmond, Sanchez, Payet, Surman, Silva
Diouf, Kun, Gomis
A) save FT
B) Look for replacements for Payot or darmian?Get Mahrez for Payet
Not give him another week?
Mahrez:
-cheap
-will keep rising
-on formI'm scared when I will jump on the bandwagon he will quit being on form
Is my starting 11 right?
Mignolet
Cedric, Kolarov, Gomez
Sanchez, Yaya, Ayew, Mahrez
Aguero, Gomis, Wilson
McCarthy, Payet, Darmian, Huth
0 FT 1m itb
Cech (Hennessey)
Azpi - Cedric - Francis (Huth - Coates)
Hazard - Ozil - Ayew - Mahrez (Mane)
Deeney - Aguero - Wilson
Pick one
A) Do nothing
B) Coates > Kolarov for -4
C) Mane > YYT for -4
D) Deeney > DioufB
Deeney will have a tough game but his fixtures after are nice.
Koscielny is price protected for as long as he is red flagged, is it? Is that how it works?
Do not want to lose value on him but do not want to take a hit to get him out. Ok to wait and see?
Needs more transfers to drop. Only protected when the red flag gets changed to fit.
Which is better?
A) Pedro + Redmond
B) ayew + coutinhoB
Can you do both?;)
B until more info available.
B
If both play each gameweek
Conclusive. Thanks guys - was keeping me up at night. Midfield will be
Sanchez - silva - coutinho - ayew - mahrez
Happy with that
Thoughts on my WC team?
Ruddy - (Rudd)
Kolorav - Gomez - Shaw (Richards - Steven Taylor)
Sanchez - Silva - Pedro - Redmond - Mahrez
Aguero - Gomis (Graham)
I have nothing in the bank, Any improvements that need to be made??Ruddy/Rudd doesn't seem like the best combo anymore.
The attack seems fine but Gomis' fixtures turn a bit worse.
Shaw vs Gomis? Maybe start Richards
I like it
I like it a lot. Also considering the exact same midfield but think I might go for ayew+coutinho over Pedro+Redmond. Am also running 352
Pick one to play this gameweek?
A) Darmian (swa)
B) Williams (MUN)
C) Morgan (bou)
Other playing defenders are Kolarov and Gomez.
Cheers!
A.
A
I feel Morgan has the highest chance of a clean sheet
I'm not sure I fancy any of them for a cleanie! Darmian maybe best attacking prospect but also loves a YC!
B
Going to decide after Depay's performance today.
A) Depay -> Cout. Hold Gomis this week.
B) Depay + Gomis -> Shaqiri + Tekkers (Those juicy home fixtures)
C) Depay + Gomis -> Diouf + Coutinho
Chadli/Gradel over Shaqiri?
Your opinions hold much value.
PS
Got one free transfer. Other will be a hit. Don't mind taking that as i am one transfer ahead.One transfer ahead ?
Keep Depay and GomisBut those pool fixtures..
I think I'm also in the same boat. Need to decide whether to ditch Depay or Ozil. Can decide this tonight
A. Not worth the hit to remove Gomis.
this
Depay to Chadli FT
Yay or Nay?Shaqiri?
Did he look good on the weekend? Haven't seen any of the games
No he didn't...he looked knackered.
Nay...unless you plan on using that 1.5M elsewhere
No.
All being well with price rise\falls. I would expect to have the below team in the coming weeks -
Can I get a rating out of 10 for this??
Butland
Francis\Williams\Gomez
Coutinho\Silva\Pedro\Sanchez\Mahrez
Aguero\Gomis
Mccarthy\Watmore\Richards\Targett.
8.5/10
Needs a Man City defender. Swap Williams to Sagna?
I'm also not convinced that having a non-playing forward is the best way to utilise squads, though I know a lot of people on here think otherwise! You could swap one of your mids to Westwood and then upgrade watmore to the forward from the same team (e.g. coutinho out, westwood in + watmore out, benteke in).
If you're on a WC then be aware that Swans fixtures turn for the worse starting from now. I have Gomis and probably keeping for this weekend but he is on my radar to be ditched. If you downgrade Gomis to Wilson (and do the Liverpool move above) then you can upgrade your defence.
I am in a very similar situation to you with a lot of funds taken up by a powerful front 8 and am thinking along these lines...
Scott Sinclair's such a troll.. Does nothing first two games, gets dropped to the bench for the 3rd when he would have came off the bench for me then gets another hatrick last night!
They were playing Notts County, but of a different prospect to the PL
I know but still annoying! He's now the second highest scoring striker in The Sun game 😠Ha
@Doosra...Where do you stand on the Pedro pick ?
He doesn't like it
What about you...what do you think ?
Will likely be very good. I'm holding out to have an proper look though.
it's a wait and see for me
😆
is Jordan so common a man's name that liverpool's team containing three of them is to be viewed as anything other than normal? i'm suspicious
Would it be nuts to consider buying Pedro and Hoolahan in place for Ayew and Payet for 4 point hit? Would give me...
Butland
Kolorov, Darmian, Gomez, Richards
Pedro, Silva, Sanchez, Mahrez
Aguero, Gomis
Subs: Ruddy, Huth, Hoolahan, Kone
I wouldn't do it
Completely bonkers! Your team is fine as it is.
don't like it at all. Ayew & Payet are huge attacking threats. Pedro has just joined and Hoolahan is not nailed on as he will likely get rested at times
Don't do it!
A. start Darmain and bench Sakho
B. start Sakho and bench Darmain
C. Sakho >> Diouf or Wilson?
Please suggest..
Thanks!C to Diouf
^This
This.
C to Wilson
C to Wilson
Butland - McCarthy
Shaw - Kolarov - Gomez - Ward - Richards
Silva - Sanchez - Payet - Mahrez - Westwood
Kun - Benteke - Vardy
.3 ITB 1 FT
Tempted to slip in Wilson for Vardy, even though they're both on good fixtures.
Kneejerk?
Vardy > Wilson is a good shout. I'd do it because you have Mahrez.
Mind helping me below
Someone mentioned the above average number of clean sheets over last 3 game weeks last page. Just random statistical outlier or is it a function of nearly every team playing 451 these days?
i'd call it 4231 cos the pedants are out in force these days and it's better not to tempt them with little scraps
Morning all.....
Connsidering I have no attack from Che, Liv or Ars, who is more essential for the next few GWs?
Coutinho
Benteke
Costa
Pedro
Sanchez
??
I'd say Sanchez. Explosion imminent.
Liverpools fixtures are crazy though and tekkers %40 ownership is worrying me
I'm with GB. Sanchez.
Casual Liverpool fans *mostly*
Sanchez for me. He's looked good.
Who are your attackers? None from those three? Wow.
Anyhow, Sanchez will score the most points from those. Valuewise im not sure which id choose
The New Gerrard? Looked proper happy in the post-match interview after debut at the Emirates..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKJEB_6p3mo&app=desktopHappiest post-match interview ever
Reminds of a younger Gerrard who also had a similar physique. I think he'll become good but there will be no next Gerrard for ages. Maybe Can though.
It's always nice to keep your FT. Your transfer will be useful next week when we have more information. You never know if a member on your team will be suspended, get injured or even arrested too.
Yeah 2FT for the break should be more valuable then some kneejerk jump. Too bad the Wilson price jump might tilt the odds.
Please RMT for next week:
Ruddy (Myhill)
Mert Azpi Cedric
Hazard (vc) Sterling Ozil Mahrez (Bentaleb)
Aguero (c) Gomis Defoe
Took a hit to bring in Aguero this week, WC still availableDecent that. Ruddy/Myhill isnt great but other than that is looks good to go.
(Nice to see other people struggling with the sinking ship named Bentaleb as 5th mid)
What rank are you because that is pretty decent without using a WC?
890,000 😀
I'm seeing no LIV or MUN coverage. Don't really like ARS def or Özil.
Might have done a Mert -> MUN def
Özil -> sideswap to Ramsey might be an option. He was all over LIV in the second half on Monday.I am an Arsenal fan, I had Rooney till this GW and shipped him before his price gets lower.
I am getting Coutinho/Benteke on my WC when I play it
