As always, we delve into the Gameweek 5 data in our first members article of the week. Arsenal’s midfield and Leicester’s form pair arrive under analysis, whilst we also cast an eye over Everton and West Ham’s playmakers after both guided their respective sides to victory.
No one looking at Shaw > Nyom/Cathcart?
Looking at Mertesacker to Nyom.
Looking at Huth>> Nyom
Kolarov PulisDefender and Williams/Bellerin for the first 3 spots look the best options for me.. Nyom could be worth it as a benchable 4th defender though
I have Kolarov and Williams as my other 2. I was looking at WBA, but I can only see 2 clean sheets in the next 6 potentially AVL/SUN.
I'd bet on them and City getting the highest number of CS's over the next 6 games tbh
And anyway.. Watford get CS's at home and their next 4 home games are tough! Cant see more than a CS or two over the next 8 games for them
Aye that's what I would go for if I were on a WC
I'm getting a little put off Watford defenders now. Their decent fixtures seem to be away from home, where I can't see a huge amount of cleansheets. I'd certainly expect Newcastle, Bournemouth & Stoke to score against them
Good point this
Fair point
Looking at Shaw > Dawson/Creswell/Nyom/Francis.
Yet to make up my mind. Typical
Gameweek 6 will be known as the week when Sergio Aguero kick started the season. I pity anyone who doesn't own him!
Worth the armband tho?
I hear this every week.
It's going to happen!
Hi lads, which website is best for prize changes, totalfpl is not working for me.
Thanks
Fplstatistics
^^ Same same
nO ONE
Thanks
Anyone kind enough to explain Pedro situation to me? Someone is saying he is injured...
Eva is f*cking around with Mourinhos head
No value yet in the rumor Pressers will tell part of the story. Chelsea CL game can only serve to mislead..
Guardian reporting he got a minor thigh injury either during training yesterday or at the weekend.. then some random websites which are now considered sources picked it up and said Pedro's out of tonights game with an injury.. Then the Chelsea fan forum picked that up and panicked and said "Pedro is injured! FML!! And we have Arsenal this weekend!" ... then the FFScout forum picked it up and said "Pedro is injured and out for the Arsenal game!!"
Ben Dinnery said it so I'd say it's pretty spot on
I hate Ben Dinnery. He posts only bad news
Thanks for info e erybody, hope hes ok
Used my FT. Anything worth a hit? 3.7m ITB
Butland
Kolarov - Nyom - Gomez
Sanchez - Mahrez - Pedro - Payet
Aguero - Diouf - Gomis
No
Begovic-McCarthy
Sagna-Bellerin-Dier-Francis-Prodl
Pedro-Sanchez-Mahrez-Sterling-Westwood
Aguero-Wilson-Gomis
Have 1FT but no cash. What changes would you suggest people?Looks good. Not sure if Chelsea will sort out their defense anytime soon so Begovic could be the weak link although he's good value at 5.0. Maybe switch to Butland for Stoke's good run of fixtures and save points?
Any idea when Zabaleta is back? Is it too risky to get Sagna with only the next 3 weeks in mind? I ll wc after that.
If you're going to use your WC than I guess there is no issue.
I meant I ll wc after gw 9
Sorry. Just got it. Doh!
I have the same conundrum, and apparently Zab is back on gw7. I don't want to risk it so I'll pay the extra £ for Kolarov.
But is he worth a hit tho? I ll have to do 2 transfers to bring him in
no, but I don't like hits.
Butland / McCarthy
Kolarov / Francis / Gomez (Naughton / Prodl)
Sanchez / Yaya / Mahrez / Pedro (Westwood)
Wilson / Benteke(c) / Aguero
0.3m ITB , 2FTs
Any ideas?If you must use your FT get rid of Gomez
Gomez who has Norwich and Aston VIlla at home in the next two? Save the transfer and rise in the rankings.
I'm on WC, RMT please 🙂
Cech (Rudd)
Kolarov / Skrtel / Dier (Cresswell / Targett)
Sterling / Sanchez (c) / Barkley / Mahrez (M'Vila)
Aguero / Benteke (v) / Wilson
Cheers!Skrtel to Dawson
Cech - I reckon DDG a better pick
Skrtel - NO!
Dier - meh, although OOP is tasty
Targett - will soon be out of starting line-up, try a Wartford defender
Sterling - YYT safer
Sanchez captain?
Barkley>AyewWow, lot of changes haha... I'll think about it, cheers 🙂
I like to take some risks now and then, haven't been lucky with my 'safe' captain choices so far (only 1 and 2 pointers), so I'm gonna try something more risky... Sanchez for captain!
Feel like Dawson, Damian, Silva, Vardy and Payet all need to be in there.
Jafa, Silva or Sterling? and why?
Sterling, because he has the most attacking threat and is cheaper than Silva? 🙂
Silva will easily outscore sterling over the season imo. Silva has been unlucky so far.
Didn't think of Dawson before, good option...
I had Shaw, switched him tot Darmian and then to Skrtel. Not too sure who I want more.
I think Silva is great, but I prefer Sterling at 8.9.
Vardy is a good option, but my frontline is solid IMO.
Payet just doesn't fit in, although I want him as well....!
Cheers 🙂
No sure on Benteke. I now he has fixtures, but Liv are terrible atm
Gents...
Who's going to replace poor ol Shaw at 5.6? I'm stuck. Thinking Creswell/Naughton/Dier???
Thank you
Dawson
After City, Cresswell for me
Skrtel?
Cresswell is a good option, great fixtures
Also thinking Creswell but must do it this week as have an injured Ward and non playing Saylor!
Lost 2 defenders last night - Kompany & Shaw
What are the chances of Kompany being fit for Saturday ???
would like to know that myself
Not knowing anything, his calf is a few weeks every time he does it
doubt he'll be fit
How come when you go into the members area and look for some info on teams, the corresponding colour next to the team name doesn't match up with the team?
I.e. Liverpool have a white circle, City have an orange, Newcastle - blue, Spurs - red and white?
etc.
I believe this has been flagged before and is on the to-do list 🙂
ah fair enough - just wondering really.
Sakho -> Diouf or Gomis this week?
Diouf
For this week only, Diouf.
Diouf
Cheers all
Silva and diouf in for Richie and Kane (-4)
Kane and Richie 90%+ to dropPardon, Richie is only 55, was looking at francis
I would
Why is Francis dropping. No one is getting consistant CS, and he has good stats?
People are dumb...
2ft only 0,1 in the bank and no buring issues.
Hazard -> Sanchez and Coates -> Cathcard decent? (Will bench Cathcard this gw and play him the next.)
Rest of team:
Fabianski (Schmeichel)
Gomez, Richards, Kolarov (Bellerin, Coates)
Hazard, Redmond, Sterling, Mahrez (Anya)
Pelle, Aguero, Benteke.Save it if you plan to bench, just alexi
Sounds good. Nyom more popular than Cathcart.
aii. Ty guys. Feels wierd to take out Hazard before a homegame, but feels even wierder to not use free transfers 😉
I'd get silva over alexi this week, not that chelsea has doe. Anything to deserve that treatment
If you only have 2 Citeys thats a good move
I use bits and pieces of the members area but taking a look at the team stats for the first time this morning. Cracking set of info there!
Really surprised at the teams who have conceded the most chances
And United being down there amongst the least crosses conceded on both flanks - highlights how much of a loss, loosing Shaw is going to be.Darmian and Shaw were looking like being the best full back pairings we'd had in a long time - gutted.
Shaw looked really good is year too...
Yeah
Blind will I think still offer stability to the left back position - remember last year, he was very impressive as a LB.
He won't offer that attacking ability though, his legs can't move fast enough to get up and back. Teams with pace can now look exploit the left side.
That said, his reading of the game is superb.
My worry is the new CB pairing. Smalling and Blind quite simply has worked so far. Not sure what Rojo will bring - will it unsettle Smalling? Blind was the passer of the two, can Rojo do that?Rojo is terrible.. Blind was small but getting the job done, they should play Darmain there and start Valencia over rojo
No chance
Darmian needs to stay at RB
I haven't made up my opinion on Rojo yet, I'd give him some time first.
Okay my team with 2 FT's this game week:
Mignolet (Hennessey)
Jagielka-Kolarov-Cedric-Gomez-Mariappa
Hazard-Payet-Westwood-Milner-Mahrez
Costa-Aguero-Wilson
I was thinking 1) Hazard out, Sanchez in & 2) Milner out, Barkley in
Which might set me up for Jagielka for Cresswell next week (since WHU not great matchup this week).
Would appreciate any help from you FFS experts!! Many thanks in advance!!!
ps. not sure if Randolph will hold his spot over Adrian but going forward from gw7, but could switch out Mignolet, gain some cash...Get rid of Gomez or Milner
I think you need to get rid of Costa before Hazard
Costa >> Benteke
Milner >> Ayew
Would be my transfers
Sanchez maybe next week as I think your GK and defence can hold for a few weeksThanks!
Milner>Ayew and hold out the Haz transfer until next week. Sure, Chelsea are horrible this year, but we're talking about Mourinho at home against Wenger's Arsenal.
reply fail
Arsenal will win 5-0
Imagine
thank you for predicting the future, had no idea you were a psychic
looks good
Best player for next two? (Want to bring in Payet after regardless, so would be easier doing it upfront)
A) Pedro (ARS, new)
B) Payet (mci, NOR)
C) Coutinho (NOR, AVL)
ThanksB
Can see City conceding and Payet is most likely to be involved imoYeah, would be shame for Kolarov - but I'm kinda swaying that way too..
Although Coutinho could get double profit haul.
Pedro than Cout
Not a fan of Payet?
It's why he's doing so badly.
Ouch!
😉
Payet.
CBA
So you would do Coutinho, even though I would be planning him out after the 2 games?
Why not? Him and Payet are good picks
B
A
My preseason RMT strikeforce that I was bigging up of Aguero, Wilson, Ighalo wouldn't be looking too bad now if I'd actually stuck with it.. Think Ighalo willcarry on getting quite a few goals this season. Always thought he was a better option than Deeney.
Sakho, Rooney and Another was the template.
You sound mad, bad and dangerous to know. 😕
Oh, what happened to Kompany?
Calf injury. Wait for more news
I hope one of Pedro or Kun misses the w/e only and will solve my benching headache
Pedro then.
I see a lot of people are selling Yoyo. Why? Any reasons? His time is over?? ?
No of course not.
Evs among others. Maybe double City defense is the way to go..?
Who else you seen selling him? What were their reasons? He came so close to scoring v Palace and with Aguero not 100% fit, he will likely not finish games giving Yaya penalty duties all over again.
Kompany out probably not as great to double up now.
I am going to have a real laugh if the week I captain Benteke Ruddy finally gets a CS.
Stranger things have happen
can someone remind me the rules with injuries and price changes.
Is shaw price protected at all?Varies. Used to be when flagged Target for Net transfer out increased, but last season players became protected when flagged. Assuming and hoping that continues
Ok. Thanks for the response.
Can't decide whether i should dump Huth first to avoid a potential price drop or to shift Shaw as at least Huth is nailed.Similar boat and Im getting rid of Morgan first. Looks closer to a drop than Shaw anyway
I've just lost .1 on Mings. So not protected.
Crap 🙁
Guess Shaw out it is then..
2xFT to sort out defence I think:
Shaw - Gomez - Kolorov - Williams - Richards
Payet - Mahrez - Pedro - Sanchez - Westwood
Aguero - Gomis - Lukaku
06. ITB
Shaw + Gomez out to Dawson + 5.6, or just Shaw out and save a FT?Mad getting rid of Gomez for his next two fixtures..
Was possibly going to replace with a different LIV defence to ensure start in next 2.. Right probably to keep Gomez though.
Keep Gomez for now. If he keeps his place, the next two fixtures look good, if he's dropped, you kan always sell him next week.
Despite the two goals, I think I'm going to bench Payet this week!
Butland,
cedric, francis, Kompany
De Bruyne, Chadli, Mahrez, Ayew,
Aguero, Wilson, Gomis
Ruddy, Payet, Huth, Azpilcueta,
Madness? City are simply not letting in goals, is he really more likely to score than Chadli against Crystal Palace?They let in two last night
Shaws injury obviously forcing a lot of owners to look elsewhere. Assuming everyone has a city defender and that they are on top of the pecking order, what would be the preference in the best of the rest? Mine in order would be
Dawson (5)
Creswell (5.5)
Williams (5)
Francis (4.5)
Nyom (4.5)
Love to know what others thinkNyom.
Above everyone else? Fixtures ain't the greatest.
Yes.
Typically wouldnt make sense, then again this is 2015-16 season we are talking of. So maybe the right choice
Lookking to replace Mings rather than Shaw, but neverthelss. Find it really difficult to identify the best defensive replacement, but I'd think in this order:
Williams - good team, OK fixtures. but do they do clean sheets?
Dawson - best team defensively, but fixtures not that good.
Francis - attacking threat, plum fixtures, but leaky team.
Bellerin - good tion long term, but upcoming fixtures not the best
Cresswell - good player, ggood fixtures, but can West Ham be trusted for clean sheets?
Azpi - surely Chelsea will turn it around - and after Arsenal, their fixtures coulnd't be better right up until Christmas
Wilson or Vardy?
Vardy
I'm not convinced with Wilson
I think Vardy will outscore him
Prediction time:
What is gonna be the new post...?
I say Uefa CL Scout notes - Tuesday 😉Frisking the Fix?
