In our first members article of the week, we assess the displays of West Ham, Leicester and Villa’s forwards as the search for a Callum Wilson replacement intensifies. We cast an eye over Southampton, Spurs, West Ham and Arsenal’s midfields and also analyse the impact of Brendan Rodgers’ decision to switch to a 3-4-1-2 formation in the last two Gameweeks.
Anyone with Martial debating whether to captain?
With Kosc set to be out after last nights hamstring injury, Martial v Mertersacker looks very tempting.
If Chambers was a confirmed starter then the answer would be yes
Then Kun gets a hatty!
between KDB and aguero for me, cant really look past the city vs newcastle fixture
Does anyone think Pedro will be benched this weekend?
There is a possibility given Chelsea's form
Thing is i don't think pedro has been the weak link, i would say he's been one of their better players!
probably not
Butland
Clyne Reid Richards
Mahrez Coutinho Yaya Sanchez
Aguero Gomis Martial
Subs - McCarthy Westwood Gomez Targett
1.3m ITB, please help!!!
What's best FT for me this week?
Targett to someone.
Probably Targett to Bertrand?
well your 3 priorities i'd say are McCarthy Gomez and Targett
Gomez gotta go too
Do Gomez before Targett. Better to have 4m sat on the bench than nearly 5m!
think i'm good to go for the wknd
Myhill (cry)
Dier(swa) Kolarov(NEW) Francis(WAT)
Pedro(SOU) Mahrez(nor) KDB(NEW) Sanchez(MUN) Payet(sun)
Aguero(NEW) Vardy(nor)
(McCarthy(WBA), Kone(LIV), Richards(STK), Targett(che)
1)would you play richards over any of current defenders?
2) captain is between Aguero KDB or Payet?
g2g
thanks
seems good to go 🙂 Aguero(c) forsure
yeah have had him captain for so many weeks i'm thinking if i take it off now he'll go mental, so might go for one more (c)
For sure? Captaining someone who has scored 1, 5, 2 in the last 3 GWs over another big hitter who has got 3, 10, 7 isn't a forgone conclusion!
I'm not saying Kun won't outscore KdB but I wouldn't be certain about itIf Silva is back Kun will explode
I really hope you're right 🙂
Like that team a lot; good to go for sure.
cheers all
I love me some big numbers 🙂
they are quite big - about an inch high on my screen
i think you are watching something else 😯
How much value will I lose not selling Wilson?
I want to get rid, but I'd ideally want 2 FT's next week.
To get anyone worthwhile this GW, will require me taking a hit.Same. Just did Wilson for the money.
0.5-0.6 imo..
A lot
I carried Mings until last week. 4.5 to 4.3.
Depends what price you paid.
Here's Moin with news of a new Fantasy game for the forthcoming Indian Super League football season.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/09/30/introducing-indian-super-league-fantasy-football/
Any hits worth it?
Butland
Willams- Francis- Kolarov
De Bruyne - Payet - Mahrez - Sanchez
Aguero (C) - Martial - Lukakutroll
McCarthy, Richards, Westwood, S Taylorno hits it's fine
thanks Mum. I'll know I'll pay for the silly bandwagon transfer up top...always burns me every season
No hits 🙂
Stronk tim
Why would you take a hit? I'd be interested to know what you're considering here
Last page bottomed..
Ok, lads. Chadli>?
a) Bolasie/Puncheon/Sako/Cabaye
b) keep
c) Tadic (Already have Mane, but S'oton are inform)
This transfer could cost me -4pts.. :/ Already did Wilson>Vardy and Yoshida>Browning for one more hit >:b
Cheers!
Waste of transfer if you ask me. Keep for now
Thoughts on this, as a wildcard team.
DeGea, Hennessey
Francis, Nyom, Dawson, Kolarov, Azpilicueta
Sanchez, Mahrez, Payet, Mata, Westwood
Aguero, Vardy, SakhoNo Southampton? They look to be on the up
who would you go for?
Pelle or Mane, not sure where they would fit into your side however
too much WH players. Sakho>Diouf/Lukaku maybe.. Def is gud
Ruddy to Hennessy and Milner to Barkley (-4) sound like good moves?
Butland is my other keeper and will start ahead of RuddyAnyone interested by Mahrez(C)?
No. Kun or Martial for me.
There should be goals in that game but Aguero home to Newcastle will be too hard to resist
But he keeps missing...
Not a bad punt
nope
DDG
Cresswell - Kompany - Kolarov
Redmond - Payet - Mahrez - Ayew - Pedro
Aguero (C) - Martial
Bego, Wilson, Targett, Gomez
1 FT, 1,1 ITB
a) Kompany > ???, then Silva/KDB next GW
b) Gomez > ???
c) Save FT for internationalsa.., Bellerin/Dawson etc.
To weak bench to save imo
Janmaat is starting to look like the new Kolarov or Baines.
That plays in a team who can't defend.
yeah but Baines was never really about cleansheets
He was, that was his special beauty behind the set pieces.
Baines had all the setpieces inlucing penalty.
true, maybe more like Baines now, but possibly more attacking.
GW9 get him in. Shame he didn't drop to 4.8
more like the ivanovic of the last few seasons but alas he plays for Newcastle
Surely a few CS in this run -
NOR sun STO bou LEI cpl LIV tot AVL EVE wbayeah I reckon so. But no point me arguing on here that I think Newcastle will improve as well and end up in midtable
The cool kids already have him
true, I got him the week of his goal
I capped him 😎
Mahrez or Payet to Walcott,what do u think?
Risky. Both solid value players, Walcott rotation risk
Poor fixture + rotation risk = waste
No, no, no, no, & no.
nope, how can you stand a player who is not nailed
Dier, Dawson, or Bertrand?
Toby Alder
Bertrand
dier, spurs def look solid this year
Which 2 defenders partners Kolarov? Nyom has Bournemouth with Wilson. Hangalaand has West Brom + Zouma has Southampton.
Kolarov / Nyom / Hangalaand / Zouma
A) Nyom + Hang
B) Hang + Zouma
C) Nyom + ZoumaBournemouth have no Wilson, Nyom could be good
actually thinking that Zouma may be best option to bench :\
Think I agree - seems strange to do
C
G2G?
Myhill
Clyne Sagna Azpilicueta
Mane Payet Sanchez Chadli
Kun(c) Martial VardyLooks great. Only concern is Chadli minutes
Morning all
Anyone got any cheap players that are a bit of a goal threat for champions league games this eve? 😀
Thinking Malmo, CSKA, Benfica, Shaktar, Sevilla and Gladbach!I still regret my last minute Shatov>Ramires transfer :@ for 6 mil he is a good value mid from Zenit.
Dzagoev and Musa from CSKA Moscow are good options too. Xhaka is the best Gladbach player atm.thanks man !
——————— BUTLAND ———————
— FRANCIS — KOLOROV — DAWSON —
MAHREZ — PAYET — SANCHEZ — AYEW
—— IGHALO — AGUERO — MARTIAL ——
——— Chadli — Naughton — Morgan ———
Worth doing Lamela to Ayew? Anything else? Or just save FT and have 2 next GW?
Man City vs Newcastle previous results:
5-0
4-0
4-0
3-1
Most of those with Pardew in charge, now we have McClaren, last chance Aguero!He has a few last chances with Bournemouth and their like coming up.
hmm my arm band is very nearly on aguero, depends on tonight's performance
Monreal or Bellerin worth getting after ManU?
No sold on Arsenal defence.. They looked awful against Oly
Got me eye on Monreal
Opted for Toby over Bellerin, and used to cash for Wilson to Vardy.
Whos toby?
monreal maybe, seem the least injury prone out of that back four and highest chance of bonus pts
Attacking full backs are gold at the moment
Hey guys, whilst its nice and quiet around here, I wondered if anyone could throw me some wildcard tips. I really want to future proof my team, and not just plan for the next gameweek. any tips?
Get attacking defenders, clean sheets seem in short supply
Map it out and see how your side rotates
map it out?
See what your starting XI may look like for the upcoming gameweeks. Then you'll see whether its actually a strong side, or just strong for this gameweek
ok ill do that now, thanks
Mata to KDB my only option for getting a Man City mid, worth it?
After cl game of course
yep
but mata looks the goods also
Why sell an inform player like Mata?
I don't want to but Newcastle and Bournemouth at home could be cricket scores whereas Man U travel to Arsenal and Everton
Up to you mate.... but once Uniteds fixtures turn good you would rushing to get him back. Mata could easily outscore KDB even against everton and arsenal
wouldnt get rid of mata, even though i own KDB and not mata
Fair enough I'd prob advise the same. Just worries me only having Kun
Champions League Semi Finalists from 2004/05 to 2008/09
12 England
4 Spain
3 Italy
1 Holland
0 Germany

Now we are struggling to get teams out of the groups, let alone reach the latter stages.yeah, it's looking quite likely that England will lose a CL spot next year. I wonder which team will be the first to come 4th when it doesn't matter anymore?
Liverpool and Spurs have a tendancy to just miss out.
Spurs
Chelsea are still our best hope IMO, if they won it (big if) they could get our 4th sport back (or even a 5th). The CL has a tendancy to throw up querks like that.
or even just get at least to the semis. England needs that at least. Actually if any of them get bumped down to the EL and go deep in that, that will also be enough, as you get the same points for the EL as you do for the CL. Maybe that's the answer and England's level 😉
Need to get rid of Clyne.
Who for? Anyone 5.9M or less.
Def: Clyne, Cedric, Kolarov, Francis, Saylor.
Thinking of C Dawson or Dier.Dawson for me.
Sanchez or KDB? if i go Sanchez i wont have City cover in midfield, reason for concern? i have Kun and Kolarov though
Sanchez
KDB for next 2
KDB for next four
Sanchez. KDB didn't look comfortable, wide on the right.
Any way to get Sanchez + yaya?
Playing wildcard so anything is possible such as YYT - Sanchez. But City's fixtures interests me more. KDB offers better goal threat than YYT. Sanchez not a must at this stage imo
Is KDB worth the extra money to Yoyo?? I am not sure how will Silva influence KDB
Not if Yaya is fit I don't think.
I think he's worth it over Yaya, but now that Silva has dropped meaning KDB is 0.1m more expensive, if Silva reduces KDB's potential (I think he'll improve it) then you can always quick switch to Silva!
Why Suarez is still on 9 points ?
Has Tadic had that goal taken away yet?
Who knew Aguero(c) would turn out to be a punty choice!
Top of the captain poll by quite some margin.
