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.
Do I need to WC here? Have 5 flags
Myhill - Butland
Kosc* - Kompany* - Williams - Prodl - Gomez
Yaya* Mahrez - Mane - Ayew - Bentelab**
Aguero - Wilson** - Sakho
1 FT and 6.4 ITB
Cheers!
No
Aight. Transfer suggestions? I've been out for 3 days and I've lost 0.3 TV! 🙁 needa ship Wilson
yaya is fine, Kompany and Kosc might be back soon, Bentaleb is bench fodder. Wilson only major concern
Cheers
Wilson -> Sturridge
Keep an eye out for Kosc's availability. Maybe take a hit if that's the case to have playing defenders.
Bellerín looks good.
Then later you will have money for a Bentaleb upgrade.Yeh keen on sturridge. Needa get rid of gomez and bentelab too
Think Yaya will play.
Just do Wilson > Sakho and Kosc/Gomez > Toby/Cresswell
Something like that.Hopefully. Already got Sakho. Thinking sturridge
Yeah he could be gold.
Done
wilson about to drop again it seems.
Very tempted to go Mane over Payet. Madness?
yes, payet is a football genius
In the long run it's fine with me but this week? Probably not
Wait a few weeks for Mane. Saints have a difficult October
I would not bother this GW. Reassess next GW.
Madness
Wilson going down and KDB going up tonight?
Wilson for sure, KDB close.
I have Kolarov as my only gun defender. The rest is Martin, Gomez, Targget and Steven Taylor
Who should I bring it?Oh dear what a horrible defence
How much many and how many FT's do you have?
No FT. have 3.8 in the bank.
Whats the rest of your team? WC in place?
No WC.
My team is
fabianski McCarthy
Mahrez Payet Sanchez Ayew J.Morrison
Aguero Vardy Martial
Dawson. Janmaat next week. Van Dijk in a few weeks
Dawson can get a cleannie vs palace this week?
Fair point. Maybe Francis? Watford short on goals
Thanks. Sounds a good idea
Quick 2014/15 HoF and current rank post
63rd and 1.6m
Not bad ;), N/A and 89k
You are actually 14000+ on HoF
How are these things calculated?
The guy above me has played one season and finished 114th. I mean fair enough, great season and all. But i've got 930 - 80 - 175 as finishes in three of the last four season. And he is higher in the HoF? Seems oddCurrent form is the biggest factor. Mark got a massive jump with his 42nd after 190K+ the season before.
Yeah i always knew it was weighted like that, and rightly so. But ONE good season? Mark has pedigree, i've no problem with his jump 😉
Still. The 190K+ should probably have more weight. Live HoF is a better guide now anyway. The 114th guy is 837K now so will move back quickly for the time being.
Yeah it probably should i suppose
agree thats dodgy
If he finished 1st in debut season, where would he deserve to be?
Good question and not easy to answer
As good as Ronka is, his highest is 90th.
The 114th guy was 44th in live.
It's more of a form HoF vs career as someone like Mark wouldn't rate so highly due to one poor season. He's struggling near me currently so a big drop at the next update.
ahead in that case, but that isnt the case
One season wonders disappear from HoF just as quickly as they arrive.
Pretty impressive getting there in your debut season regardless.
Admittedly there is a 3k finish sandwiched in there as well for me but i was just surprised that ONE good season reflected so highly
Has the fixture ticker gone for everyone or just me?
Everyone for now.
Ah ok, thanks.
😮 pushing for members?
Maintenance probably. No response from the big boys so hopefully it's back tomorrow.
cheers
A) Mane/Payet and Vardy for Pedro and Wilson -4
B) Igalho for Wilson
ArghB
A with Payet
A with Payet is the right answer here
Payet and Vardy
Aguero to explode?
indeed
Yes, he will at least score in both next two games. Sure of it
I sure hope so, captain for me against Newcastle so would be great
hopefully this is just a repeat of the start of this year. there he went:
blank
blank
assist
blank
pen & goal
pen & assist
ssist
blank
blank
blank
blank
then suddenly:
2 goals
goal
goal
goal
2 goals, pen & assist
assist
goalooooooooooo that's pwerty looking
Great new team name.
u guys think ayes will drop again till the deadline ?
ayew, sorry
doubt it
Will Gomez and Wilson price fall again tonight?
Gomez no, wilson maybe
Gomez is only on -15.3 so no chance
Cheers
Gomez recently fell. Wilson very likely.
Any chance of them staying until my next transfer? If not likely I might have to take double hits to sort then out.
Gomez will hopefully survive but Wilson is dropping like a stone.
Jesus Christ just saw the CL highlights, Lewandowski just doesnt stop, a machine, i thought he had a good run when he scored 4 vs Madrid when at BVB, this year hes just unstoppable, after the 5 goals i was thinking yeah happens - match later 2 goals - match later another hattrick, for a top world team. And they got him for FREE 😐 Imagine him in Liverpool or Arsenal, FPL gold :O And when we talk about Munich - D. Costa (Bayern) > D. Costa (Chelsea)
Who is rising tonight? Monreal?
maybe
What about KDB? That is very innportant to me... Think that he is close, if he rises I can affor him..
http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk
he's second to risewhat to do? Is he gonna rise? When the deadline is?
He will probably not rise tonight, although it will be close.
The problem right now however is that a bunch of people are watching the stats and seeing that KDB is close to a price change, so they buy him even though they wanted to wait for tomorrow.
If people could just chill KDB's price rise would not happen until tomorrow.
Does the target have to reach 100 for them to rise?
Most of the time yes. But the statistics has been off most of these starting GWs. For example, McCarty was way over 100% a bunch of times in a row - didn't rise.
I've seen players be under 100%, but still rose.
It seems however that during the week days the stats are better and more accurate than on Saturday/Sunday nights.Thanks boss! Since I'm on my wildcard I'd best get KdB in tonight for Walcott before deciding how I'm gonna fit both of them in.
yep sounds right
yep
Thanks a lot mate!
Sterling to yaya anyone? same price now and yaya is fit
no, sterling will score more points than yaya
how do you arrive at making such a bold claim?
After the newcastle game, we will see who gets the most points okay?
lol, erm, ok
ok, good
yep.
.
-
now now boys
lol xD
haha, casuals hey, can never win 🙂
this
-1
Surely there are more pressing matters? I'd save if not
Because as my now second (and previously first) midfielder he has been pretty useless
Fair enough. Would be too risky for me though with Yaya's fitness. Guessing you can't afford KDB?
I can, but prefer Yaya's explosiveness and nailed-onness. KDB could be shifted if Silva comes in
Go for it then. Wait until after tomorrows match though, an injury could make any decision much easier
confession to make. I dont have a FT. Is it no longer worth it?
Not worth the risk. Absolutely not
cheers
I HATE owning Sterling
I was hoping KDB wouldn't rise tonight so we could have the champs league out of way, but doesn't look like it will happens, "CASUALS"
he's not gonna rise tonight is he?
He will probably not rise tonight, although it will be close.
The problem right now however is that a bunch of people are watching the stats and seeing that KDB is close to a price change, so they buy him even though they wanted to wait for tomorrow.
If people could just chill KDB's price rise would not happen until tomorrow.agreed. i'm tempted to do yaya > kdb just so i can afford to upgrade gomez to a 5.0 defender.
I'm also tempted to bring in KDB (for a hit), but I'm NOT tempted to bring him in if he gets an injury tomorrow. That's a transfer, and points, wasted.
very true, definitely going to wait until after tomorrows game.
You chose... wisely.
Any chance of Myhill/Dier/Sturridge rising tonight?
none
Wenger>Klopp?
I think Arsenal would suit Klopp a lot more than Liverpool for sureKlopp to Liverpool pls 🙁
They say there is a disagreement about transfer policy Klopp wants 100% control but Liverpool don't want to give a manager the power he needs
Well theyre idiots obviously :/ Schame to hear about it ;/
Klopp would be a waste at liverpool. Arsenal will never sack Wenger - he will do a fergie. I have a horrible feeling Chelsea might snap him up when they sack maurine
I don't think Chelsea would suit Klopp for the same reasons i.e. not having 100% control over transfer policy
Looking to do Wilson to Vardy. To fund that got to do a -4 and drop Pedro for Payet or Mane. Feels so unnatural to go Mane with his fixture but he seems the best long term option for me and with transfers at a premium don't want to waste one. So Mane over Payet, crazy or sensible?
You've asked this 10 times in the past hour, surely you must know what you want to do if you're not accepting the opinions many have given you?
Payet is your man!!
Payet over Mane 100%. Bring Mane in 3 weeks time
How do vote on posts?
You know, green arrow under grav.
It works 😮
Pedro to Sanchez or Mata worth a hit? Don't have any Arsenal right now. Do have Martial though.
Not for a hit as unlikely to get sufficient returns to justify this week. Man city mid instead? Or Haz?
Already have Yaya.
Pedro - Mahrez - Payet - Yaya - Westwood
Aguero - Vardy - MartialI personally wouldn't take a hit then. You have good City coverage, which looks important this gw
Thanks.
Just play Pedro
Just might. Thanks.
Which 2 would you play from these?
Darmian (Ars), Evans (cry), Huth (nor), Richards (STO)evans and richards mate, have a sneaky feelin villa will come away with a clean sheet from that one.
Currently on that! Cheers
thats what ive been hoping since ive bought richards in wc in gw 3. but got me nothing.
Richards for sure. Then probably Evans. Leicester aren't likely to keep a clean sheet any time soon
I expect them all to concede tbh so just look for attacking threat. Richards and Darmian probably
So that's it?
UCL fantasy is done for the year?
Looks so. The site is a mess again.
Looks like it. Shame, last week I would have captained Ronaldo for his hat-trick and I would have had Andre Gomes as well. This week I captained Lewandowski and I also had Costa, Thiago, and Feghouli.
what happened? I thought people actually entered teams this week?
I benched Di Maria/De Bruyne/Benzema as they play the next day,
this could be the end… 😐I thought you said its 'done'
Yah, I can't get to my team 😆
Anyone else dropping Pedro? Worried if I do he will start taking his chances as he is getting a few.
saints and villa at home next 2.
dropped him last week mate, that chance he missed against newcastle was epic, unless chelsea start to play good overall, i dont see him as a player you need at all.
Dropped him on my WC for KDB
Jose might drop him as he is lost defensively at Chelsea great going forward but does not fit the Jose style imo
i'd drop. his debut reeked of deceptive
-4 to payet to fund wilson to vardy ?
All of them playing at their peak which Spanish maestro in Epl would you pay to watch live with reason ?
Silva
Cazorla
Fabregas
Mata
Navassilva
Mata, as I follow Utd!
Fabregas put in one of if not the best performance i've ever seen live when he tore us apart at the Emirates
A goal and 4 assists lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6AF1cxOQOA
mata
Navas?!
haha its a joke mate 😉
Gomis -> Vardy
Thoughts?
If not, then I would have to take a hit to go from Wilson to Vardy after downgrading Skrtel to free up fundsOr Gomis and Wilson to Sakho and Vardy?
True, but I don't like the double up on both LEI and WHM (have Mahrez and Payet)
my exact dilemna
Balders, have you oiled your Price Change Bot?
I know, we missed it last night
I have visions of it in a steaming pile and Balders desperately trying to fix it with a sonic screwdriver.
Begovic
Kolarov, Williams, Dawson
Hazard, Payet, Mahrez, Ritchie
Aguero (c), Pelle, Diouf
McCarthy, Ozil, Richards, Targett
0 FT 0.5 ITB
Any hits needed?No. I'd start Ozil and Richards over Diouf and Dawson though
Bench Ritchie
This party?
Started?
Good to go for the weekend? The bench need some work but seem fine for now.
Begovic
Kola Evans Francis
Mahrez (VC) Sanchez KDB Coutinho
Kun (C) Martial Vardy
McCarthy Huth Wanyama Targett
Thanks
Morning DZers
Berahino or Rondon for WBA's tasty upcomming fixtures?
Neither
Berahino
The little bear
Berahino
They don't score that much, but Berahino.
May be they dont score much as a team, but Bera got into scoresheet 14 times last season. So maybe he demanda a littile more attention imo.
From the two ...Berahino, but there are so many other options in that price range
