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.
A) Mane > Pedro (have Haz) -4
B) Mane > Anyone else 9.4m or under -4
C) Leave him alone
Probably best to wait and see if he's recovered/if there's any news on Thursday
Repost would love a few views on this
Hey guys quick question
Butland
Kompany Gomez Richards
Sanchez Silva Marhez Depay
Kun(c) Gomis Sakho
McCarthy Westwood Darmian Huth 1FT
A) Sakho ---> Wilson
B) Sakho Depay----> Wilson Pedro -4
Cheers
A, give Depay another chance
This too knee-jerky?
Chadli & Pelle > Pedro & Wilson (-4)
Appreciate fairly good fixtures for C&P this week...
Latest news on Sakho? Do west ham even have another striker?
Yes...The mighty Andy Carroll....who's injured as always.
... and off to Sevilla, apparently. The sooner, the better, imo.
Is he really. Why on earth would they buy him ?
Feck knows. Persistent rumour though - in-house as well ... 😕
Modibo Maiga and Elliot Lee. And Lanzini can play there.
I thought Maiga left?
So did I...
Nope. Like many stories about us, was complete bollocks.
Payet -> Barkley
?
Hold on Barkley until closer to November, their fixtures turn sweet.
Just conscious I can upgrade my defence by a nice round figure if I bring him in now, where as by November I will probably have .7m to upgrade my defence with!
Why? Could turn out to be a pointless transfer if they score the same amount.
And that's the aim of the game, guessing who will get more points! And by the way if they get the same amount of points it's far from pointless as owning Barkley would allow me to play round with £1m more!
How many Europa League players do you own? (Spurs/Pool)
Out of those two, zero. Southampton included, two (soon to be one).
Why do you ask out of interest?
Curiosity.
I forgot about Saints...I suppose you have to hold off transfers until after Thursday if you have too many...
1
1. Gomez.
May or may not acquire Coutinho ...Oh. Wanyama also.
2
Toby
Trying to decide if I should WC to get Tekkers in and Sakho out.
Would really appreciate a few quick replies before bed.
If you had to pick one of these...
a) Ivan, Wilson, Sterling and Sakho -4
b) Azpil, Wilson, Yaya and Benteke WC
A should get you through this GW
I like B but I'd rather get Darmian than Azpil
Schmeichel (Hennessey)
Huth Cedric Kolarov (Oxford Muniesa)
Hazard Depay Ozil Wijnaldum (Fletcher)
Wilson Aguero Sakho
3.1 ITB, 1 FT
A) Wijnaldum > Mahrez (leaves 4.2 ITB)
B) Wijnaldum > Pedro (adds another big hitter)
C) Fletcher > Mahrez (need to find some kinda attacking rotation)
A
A, for a more balanced team
Myhil McCarthy
Kompa Darmian Williams Richards Gomez
Mahrez Depay Yaya Chadli Westwood
Kun Sakho Gomis
4.8 ITB
Best transfer for next GW:
a. Sakho âž¡ Wilson
b. Depay âž¡ Haz/Pedro/Sanchez
c. both for a hit
d. Sakho/Gomis âž¡ Costa
e. other?
thanks in advanceD or A
either way get rid of Sakho over GomisD. Sakho > Costa
Keep both Payet & Shelvey or shift one for Mahrez?
1FT to use and 0.4 ITB - means if it's Shelvey that goes, it has to be done prior to price changes
Cheers!Shift shelvey imo
On my WC, final decision is this:
A: Toure + Wilson
B: Chadli + GomisA
A
So many are saying A, but the only thing that puts me off is dropping Gomis who is in fine form and feel harsh to drop him?!?
Yaya just looks much more enticing than Chadli. I have Gomis in my team and I'm keeping him.
Take his goals away and really he is pretty sh1t. I do have him but between the choices you gave A is definitely the best option.
A
A
I get that A is the best option but can anyone explain the reasoning behind it!
Both will give you points potential and £££. Gomis is not that great imo and I have never had love for Chadli, ever. You are better off with someone like Redmond imo
Which three?
A) Sanchez 4.5 4.5
B) Ozil Azpi 5.5B
B
Cheers what 5.5 defender would you get?
for 5.5 = Clyne, Skrtel, vertonghen These are great buys in my opinion.
for 5.0 = Sagna, Williams, Naughton, Dawson, Lovren, alder, walker, pieters
for 4.5mil + = Richards, Ward, Gomez, Cameron, Davies
Sanchez, 5.0, 4.0. Sod this love for 4.5 defenders.
I sense that lots of people are taking a gamble with pedro when they could just get silva for another 0.6. It baffles me when people go for the mystery player rather than the consistent one.
Or they have both
If I sign Pedro it will be with Silva and instead of Hazard.
So I'm a college (university) student in America. I'm thinking of studying abroad for one semester. Would UK be good? Tell me why or why not. *this should be fun*
That type of question is for the student room.
You should quit school and focus on FPL 100%.
Solid advice tbh
Done.
You should study in New Zealand.
Cos Hobbits. That's why.
Anywhere abroad will be good, apart from NKorea. You're a student.. Go enjoy the UK, it has lots to offer. Rosy cheeked girls, warm beer, bad teeth .. What more could you want? 🙂
Sounds like paradise.
I take offence to the bad teeth. It actually just means she can remove her falsies so she doesn't catch them on your ?~@# !!!
Who would you bench from:
Ayew Pedro depay mahrez toure
Aguero Wilson gomis
I brought in Wilson for the price rises but it creates a dilemma.
Alternatively would you recommend:
A) depay to Sanchez (-4)
B) depay to coutinho (-4)
C) gomis to benteke (-4)
I want to get benteke and Sanchez by GW6 and think this is a chance to get the four points back immediately (this week)Ayew or Wilson.
A and bench Ayew
I would bench the Swansea pair if only one need to bench I would say Ayew
Why take a hit to swap Depay out if you have a bench headache. Just bench Depay, problem solved.
Never take a hit to bring someone into your benchI would bench either gomis or Ayew and start the player I took a hit for
Id take a hit because not sure both Swansea players or depay will score points as defenses are solid, so worth a hit of benteke or Sanchez as it can have immediate returns
I'd say Liverpool have a better fixture than Arsenal so Gomis to Benteke or Depay to Coutinho would be the shout....the latter probably being the less risk (as Utd away and Gomis in form) but you want Benteke
Coutinho would be great but the bench headache would remain. Benteke means I'd just bench depay this week and get rid of him next.
drop gomis. United haven't conceded yet.
I've got 10 players in the 3pm kick-off on Saturday...talk about make or break your weekend 🙂
The Sunday's games look mediocre, plenty of good teams playing at 3 o clock for once
-4 to get Mahrez in? Would mean I need a 4.0 defender to make it work (Saylor probably). Hmmmm, tough one. Not played WC yet.
How do you need a 4.0 defender to bring in a 5.9 mid?
Because I stupidly have 3 Leicester players, none of which are Mahrez (Schmeichel,Schwarzer and Huth). So the one that makes sense is Januzaj at 5.5 (don't ask! ) and Huth (4.5) out for Mahrez and Saylor.
Oh dear, that's all sorts of awkward.
Normally I'd say no for such a low value transfer. But I'm a Mahrez advocate and his next 3 matches are bread and butter....
So.......... Good Luck!Cheers!
Start Darmian or Richards?
I'm going Richards
Darmian
that's tough, who else you starting?
Kompany and Gomez
very hard call tbh. any option in going 4 at the back?
Midfield is Marhez Sanchez Silva Depay
Depay will probably be Pedro come game day
Can see swans scoring. I have to pick 3 of
Kompany Richards Darmain Target Gomez it's toughplay bench boost chip?
Saving for Dgw who would you play? Or maybe I should play 4 and bench payet
defo bench Payet over any of those defenders, cannot see WH scoring myself
it's still tough to even pick 4 of them!
Hmmmmm
need to go to bed soon, but have to decide to WC or take -8 (already on -4) by doing Sakho to Wilson.
my current team
Kasper Hennessy
Kolorov Bellerin Cedric Huth Francis
Hazard YaYa Hendo Mahrez Bentalab
Aguero Kain SakhoTake the hit. I'm doing the same.
think with Wilson in there my team is strong enough not to WC?
prob gonna loose 0.1 value on haz, francis, huth and hennessy by the end of the week too...I've no problem taking hits this time of the year for the price rises. You'll catch a couple of form players plus build the coffers!
wish I'd done it before Wilson went to 5.5..... ah well..... hopefully the money I make on him will make up for any price drops I would have avoided playing WC....
Hold for now
I was almost gonna do the same for a hit but have decided to hold, you should go with a 4-4-2 this weekend. Huth Bentaleb and Sakho on the bench. Wildcard next week i guess.
yes but I have Hendo who is most likely injured
Is Wilson for Pelle a good transfer for this week? Southampton have a good fixture but I don't trust their form which is why I'm leaning towards Wilson.
for free or a hit?
I did for free better fixtures pelle and saints looking average norwhich might win
for free but I could then do Payet to Pedro for a hit if I wanted.
I'm considering the payet to Pedro for -4 myself
I've already done this. Mane potentially injured and Tadic tired equals no service for Pelle. However you should've done it when Wilson was at 5.4
I wanted time to think about it before making a switch. Losing 0.1m isn't the end of the world for me.
I had to move else couldn't fit other transfers in.
It's still a good move at 5.5 though
I think I would wait a week.
So keep Pelle for Norwich and then have two transfers for GW 5?
Yep. You can always do Pelle > Wilson then, if you still think it's a good move - Wilson then has nor/SUN/sto/WAT to Pelle's wba/MUN/SWA/che - much more clear cut in his favour!
Cheers Ludo. That's a better idea than my initial one.
mane to coutinho for ft
Like it
go for it!
Play Williams or Darmian?
Williams
Darmian
Darmian
Close, if Swansea keep a CS, and there is more than a 50-50 chance of that, Williams will almost surely get 3 bps. Utd overall have better chances of a CS though.
depending if you have attackers from the opposite team
I've got Depay and Gomis.
Current lineup is (4-3-3)
********************************************************************************
Guzan (SUN)
Kompany (WAT) Darmian (swa) Targett (NOR) Francis (LEI)
Sanchez (new) Mahrez (bou) Silva (WAT)
Diouf (WBA) Agüero (WAT) Gomis (MUN).
*********************************************************************************
Subs: Hennessey (che) Payet (liv) Williams (MUN) Anya (MCI)

A) Save transfer
B) Payet > Pedro and Darmian > Gomez (can just about afford it but not for long) **** - 4 ****
C) Payet > Pedro and Williams > S.Taylor (already have 4.0 Targett) **** - 4 ****
D) Payet > Pedro and Gomis > Wilson **** -4 ****
E) Payet > Pedro and Diouf > Wilson **** -4 ****
Thanks!I like Payet, I think you should keep him.
A or B
Which one?
A, and play Payet over Targett, imo.
Actually, over Francis.
payet will come good just 1 off day Option A
A, though if I had to do one then I'd go with D.
Not a fan of Darmian > Gomez when you already have Targett. Realistically Gomez will eventually fall out of the first 11, it's just a matter of when. Also, United's defence has been pretty solid thus far.
Williams > Taylor is a massive no. That leaves a choice between Gomis and Diouf, in which case you'd probably have to get rid of Gomis given Diouf's fixtures?Yeah I think we are on the same wavelength but do you really think Gomez will be ousted soon?
Probably not soon but it's enough of a risk that I'd be a bit cautious at least. If all your other defenders were nailed on then it's no problem but having Targett too would put me off. That'd be two transfers waiting to happen at some point.
No harm in waiting and seeing how Gomis, Diouf and Wilson do this weekend either.
A. Captain Aguero and you will have a decent gameweek.
team rn:
Romero, mccarthy
shaw-koralov-targett-richards-gomez
Ayew-sanchez-silva-westwood-mane
sakho-aguero-diouf
Mane --> Coutinho (A)
or --> Bank FT (B)wait until friday and see if any news on Mane and if he plays midweek.....then make a decision, obv if he is injured get Cou, if not bank
mane to coutinho ?
you could do worse.
West Ham will have a better away than home record this season I think - if I had Payet I'd hold for sure
Reply fail
but good advice, and i dont own Payet.
Have a feeling that payet will surprise a few on here this week.
Remember Tadic at home to Sunderland last year! Haha!
Had him as captain last year on that gameweek. I had a feeling that soton would do well but i didn't see that result. The best thing was that it was a last minute switch which made it all that much sweeter.
Kun and Gomis likely to rise in price?
yes and yes
Would you do now Rooney&Kane to Kun&Gomis then?
yh i would
9 from 11 of my players have home fixtures this GW. Most I've seen in a while
Aye, fixtures look good this week. Which inevitably means it will be our worst week yet.
That's not possible.
How's everyone looking for GW4?
I did my transfers on Sunday before the final whistle of Watford v Saints....and a hit
Nothing like a frustrated knee jerkCosta or Hazard?
Costa
Costa
In a world with infinite money, Hazard. In this world, Costa.
