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.
Simple one.
A- Pedro
B- Sanchez
??
B
the one with more than 1 PL game
I hear ye on that one. But i can't shake the niggling feeling that Pedro is going to turn it on and prove excellent value at 9.5m soon to 9.7m
you may be right....and i can't shake the feeling that nearly all of last year i had Sanchez in my team and right now i don't. and i'm scared when (not if) he comes good...
Right now I'd go with Sanchez. Proven more and can always be easily downgraded to Pedro if things change.
This Costa to Atletico news, is it true?
As true as Neymar to United
At least they have Falcao to do the job.

Bull
Mane to
A) Mahrez
B) Chadli
C) Shaqiri
A
A
Shaqiri looks like one to keep an eye on, but Mahrez is just so direct at the moment.A. There's a point where a bandwagon just becomes the smart move, even at a late stage. Mahrez has reached that point.
thanks guys, has to be done i suppose
has to be A
Play Gomis or Sagna -4 ?
play Gomis. form over fixtures, sometimes that works. usually.
gomis
Gomis, definitely.
Gomis
Do you think Sinclair will start next game?
Nope. Grealish did very well tonight, by all accounts, and that's his competition.
Why I started with Sinclair? 🙁
No
Butland (Ruddy)
Ivanovic Targett Francis Huth Koscielny*
Hazard Mahrez Yaya, Wanyama Mane*
Deeney Rooney Kane
1FT, 1.2ITB
Rooney & Kane to Kun & Gomis is what I'm thinking now; but I also have two "doubtful" players.
Anyone think it's a good idea to drop hazard for sSnchez (with no other chelsea attacking cover) for Alexis and -4?
I think it's better to drop hazard to silva and upgrade another midfielder or get costa with that extra money
can't get silva because I already have Yaya, kolarov and aguero. hazard is dropping .01 tonight. Any other suggestions?
I see you're in quite a predicament. I guess you could drop down to pedro or sanchez. You could stick and hope that hazard doesn't drop or he does something in the next game. If he doesn't do well and doesn't drop then you'll have 2 FT so that you can work Silva into your team by taking either yaya or kolarov out.
0.1 is not worth -4. Not a good enough reason to take a hit.
No, that is a high variance play. I've watched Chelsea's first 3 games, Hazard is playing well.
You'll miss him when he's gone
Am I right to stick this week and have two FT for the international break. 0.7 ITB:
Butland ( McCarthy)
Richards Shaw Kompany ( Prodl, Gomez )
Sanchez Yaya Payet Mahrez ( Westwood )
Benteke Aguero Gomis
Thanks!
Yeh looks good - stick
Kinda what I thought. Thanks for confirming.
play westwood over payet
and gomez over shaw
Interesting take on things. I will take that into consideration.
How's this looking for gw4?
Butland - (Schmei)
Kompany - Gomez - Kosc - (Williams - Oxford)
Yaya - Mane - Ayew - Mahrez - (Bentelab)
Aguero(c) - Tekkers - Wilson
0ft and 4.9itb.
Waiting to see on Mane....Any other changes?
I should probably play Williams and captain him, Utd can't score.4.9 itb. Take out Kosc, put in Azpi or Darmian perhaps.
actually no screw it, that team is fine.
ur good to go save the xfer or upgrade oxford if u have spare cash with no plan to use it
Williams > Mané right now starting or not imo, but some people prefer to play the attacker always, which is fair enough.
cant agree with that.. i know mane hasnt got any attacking returns but the stats are good and he could easily exxplode.. williams is a likely 2 points 6 at best
SHampton not firing yet (that is a changed 11 now, might taje them some time), Swansea are the opposite. I get it not being optimal game theory but would ignore that in some cases.
If Swansea keep a clean sheet vs utd, who don't score much so this is not really so unlikely, Williams could get 8 or 9. He does well with baps. I'm starting him.
I am tempted by that...but they do have norwich at home..
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 ➡ Wilson
b. Sakho ➡ Costa
c. save
d. other
thanks in advanceFinally shipped Mane, one less headache. He will now score a hatty...
let us hope so 🙂 im gonna ride out another price drp with him..
It was the logical thing to do. He hasn't done enough to warrant a place in your fantasy team. Also only 4.5% have him so even if he does score a hatty, only 4.5% will profit.
Also got Mahrez in finally, so killed two stones with one bird
had mahrez from the off and can understnad getting rid... prob my last week with mane even if he gets his hat.
Sakho may be the next on the chopping block
he went this week 🙂 diouf will do what sakho should have been doing
haha a move I am considering...
Hi Guys, some great team ideas here
I wanted your thoughts on mine
Mig
Skrtel Shaw Cameron
Ayew Mahrez Silva Sanchez
Benteke Aguero Gomis
really going after 3 striker formation - would you make any transfer? I have 1 FT and 0 ITB
THANKS!!ur good. im not a fan of sanchez but he could come good... id save the xfer since i presume u know what ur getting with sanchez and still went down that rd.. i think hazard will outscore him heavily over the next few weeks.
Ok some questions...
1. Pedro is price locked for a few more days right?
2. Would you rather have (long term)
- A) Darmian, Shaw, Payet and Benteke
- B) Darmian, Targett, Pedro, Lukaku
- C) Shaw, Targett, Pedro, Bentekec
That's my thoughts too (Y)
targett gonna be idle after next game so if there is option D i might look at that. how long is long term over next 7 game id take benteke over lukaku.. over season id take lukaku...
For a while really. I prefer Benteke to Lukaku and just have Lukaku left over from wc for the monies.
Targett is bench fodder, no big deal, I'd get a 3.9 if there was one which would let me keep Darmian over Shaw (I got Darmian for 5.6 and shaw for 5.5 and that .1 is a big one)
I would rather keep Darmian over Shaw so that's the issue here really I could even keep Lukaku another week and if he gets something the weekend sort it out next week
Ruddy, Gomes
Kolarov, Ivan, O'shea, Huth, Ward
Silva, Mahrez, Mata, Payet, Westwood
Aguero, Pelle, Gomis
Good?
Morning yall whats new on here?
'ello DZ how're you all today?
I am skeptical on Gomez, you can let me worry about the folly of my ways.
Louvren decent alternative? Don't want to spend 5.5 really....but want a Liverpool defender ASAP.
cheers.I have Skrtel!
I think hes worth 5.5
Gomez, Migs, Skittles, Clyne. Once you have all of them, get Lovren.
Skreetle and Migs are alright alternatives
ugh, thanks all. i guess.
Clyne I'd say
Sounds like you want Gomez!
After recent performances I don't really see him being dropped
Rogers brings Moreno on with him on the pitch and it's all good
I have found a potential alternative to the headache decision which has been driving me crazy all day, thoughts?:
Original options:
A: Gomis + Chadli
B: Wilson + Toure
New alternative:
C: Gomis + Toure (but have to downgrade Kolarov+Morgan ---> Sagna + 4.0 defender)B. Still stronger
Sagna is not an alternative.
I replied to you on the last article, not a good idea
I agree with your comment on the other article.
but to be fair my rotation is so good with the other 4 defenders that it doesnt matter if the 4.0 played or not. but ye Kolarov over Sagna seems essentialFair enough, if your other 3 defenders are good enough you can go with Sagna, but beware the necessary transfer or having Sagna rot on your bench.
D: Gomis + Coutinho (includes Kolarov)
D by a mile
actually not by a mile but still D
Makes no sense?
allows me to keep gomis and gives me liverpool coverage?
But Budget??
Im just not sure about the whole Wilson vs Gomis thing.
My other strikers are Aguero and Diouf
B
D
Overthinking it if it involves dropping Kolarov
so its still B then.
Does my option D above tempt anyone?B, all day every day.
sorry for reposting

Who are the best future buys from those that have fallen?
So far I can see Bertrand, Wally, Baines, Moreno, Firmino, Clichy, Mings, Oscar, Fabregas, tadic, kane and rooneyDefinitely Fabregas
tick, tick, tick tick tick, tick, tick tick, tick tick tick tick tick tick.
Janmaat as well
good enough.. dont fancy ur keepers this week. but maybe norwich can get a 0-0
Already used my FT on Sakho to Diouf, wish I never done it now, I'd rather have done Hazard Sakho to Shaquri Costa -4 and avoided Hazard drop and got Costa rise, now I'm stuck with Hazard Diouf when I'd much rather have Shaquri Costa, thinking about just doing it for a -8 but I know it's wrong
take it on the chin as a lesson learnt
Yep I think I have to, I'm in a awkward position of playing carefree last season with lots of aggressive hits paying off, but fell massively from 288 to 20k, trying to find the right balance but minus 8 seems a step too far
Hit's aren't wrong at this stage
Sounds like you wana do it so do it. You'll make it back and everyone is taking hits.
Heres a though one! Play 3!
A)Kolarov (WAT)
B)Skrtel (WHU)
C)Cedric (NOR)
D)Richards (SUN)
Its a very good Dilema all home fixturesTop 3, did you see the Villa score tonight?
5-3!
But did they have any first choice players outRichards Guzan and Bacuna missing, rest of the team strong by Villas lowly standards
A B C it is interesting that
This
Abc
Any love for Giroud around here? has decent stats for the first 3 GW
Walcott is a threat! Benteke seems to have better fixtures and form
This. Tekkers matching price and better form/fixtures makes it a non-contest. This isnt too say Giroud is bad but he's like 6th/7th in the striker standings.
True. Giroud has double the amounts of shots inside the box over Benteke. Not suggesting this means he is a better pick but interesting stat!
Early doors and Giroud always has them first timers that get immediately blocked
don't think Walcott is a threat to anyone..he's not a starter..
unless you mean just a threat to playing 90
Walcott a threat? lol
Wenger loves Giroud. Do people still not accept this?
I'm stuck with him but not terribly unhappy about it. He'll do ok.
This decision is killing me, guys - any help?
Milner -> Mahrez for a (-4) hit?
save
Yep
Probably ya. Who else could you drop?
what do u think about my crazy team :-
guzan
kolorov-gomez-target-huth-francis
silva-coutinho-shaqiri-albrighton-westwood
aguero-costa-benteke
i have the biggest 3 upfront ..tell me ur opinion0.5 itb
its the same as everyone else
no one has costa aguero benteke as strikers
Is Clyne / Skrtel worth it over Gomez?
Or just get Gomez and ride his valueget gomez
Skrtel is worth it
why skrtel over clyne i ask?
Bps! He got more than Clyne in every game even though he got 2 YC
Better goal threat although I too prefer Clyne. % owned is a factor as well to consider.
cheers
Want to get Hazard out to avoid the price drop, best replacement? rest of midfield is Mahrez Henderson and Sterling
Alexis
Thanks
Silva, Sanchez, Pedro, Fabregas take your pick.
Thanks mate thinking pedro for differential atm
I want to get Mertesacker out.
Right or wrong?
If right, who should I bring instead?
Other defenders; Kompany, Darmain Saylor and Targett.Kompa
Targett (bench fodder), if you want cash for upgrade elsewhereKolarov double up?
Cant, got silva and kun already.
Is this too heavy on defense?
Myhill (or Butland) - McCarthy
Kompany - Shaw - Azpi- Skrtel - Targett
Hazard - Silva - Mahrez - Puncheon (or Montero) - Redmond
Aguero - Gomis - WilsonYes
you could go 442 but the midfield is far too spread put. Downgrade Puncheon, upgrade Redmod.
Mids are a little light so yes imo
dont listen to em... there is so much value in cheap mids at the moment.. mahrez punch and redmond should all stay in ur team
