After delving into the Gameweek 5-8 data for Defenders yesterday afternoon, we now set our sights on the midfielders. Arsenal’s in-form duo arrive under analysis, whilst we also cast an eye over City and West Ham’s summer signings and analyse the recent displays of Southampton’s wide men as the fixtures turn in their favour.
Dammit. Top.
Nice way to start a day - cup of coffee and came here lurking.
First thing I see is 'With the aguero news..'
Oh dear.
mahrez and aguero> de bruyne and pelle -4 yay or nay if aguero is out long term
Yeah.
Why mahrez, no one else you can get rid of?
what if aguero is out for a few months
i was thinking on
a) Aguero > Pelle, Drinkwater > Eriksen
b) Aguero > Lukaku, Drinkwater > Mane
any other ideas are welcomed
There are loads if options. I wouldn't include Erikssen in any of them though
any updates on aguero or still don't know anything concrete?
F5
he got f5'd by brock lesnar?
Dunno. The last time I watched wrestling was when the Tombstone was all the rage.
Its the middle of the night in South America. I suspect Aguero is fast asleep.
I don't suppose....nah....mmmm....surely not.
Did Doosra transfer in Aguero already ?
He's made 3 transfers so quite possibly.
Oooh....gosh....That'd be a right kick in the teeth.
I am sure a load of people did it Saturday night
People were warned last weekend about early transfers....
People do them, get away with it, get complacent, then this happens. Always the way.
In fairness weve all been there but perhaps better to do early if forced on you.
e.g. Injury etc not just chasing the money !Aye. I'm very much against early transfers for greed. Only when they have to be done for affording a plan. I've done a couple of early transfers this season which I've luckily got away with. Won't be making a habit of it. My TV is terrible.
He has .2 itb it may well have been a case of do it at the time or not be able to afford the three players he wanted.
Sounds like it. Wanyama in was one of the ones that he was talking about, so it's bottom of the barrel stuff.
Always the problem with a player at £13 Mil+
I'm pretty sure we all had to make hefty compromises to get him in.
Sometimes they work when I've done them before (got Igahlo & Martial in for Benteke/Watmore on the sunday evening of the weekend they both went mental... Igahlo & Martial have went up +0.5 between them + delivered points, whereas Bentekkers has went down 0.2)
But yeah non-Aguero owners who got him in early after the Newcastle match must be wondering what next at this point
Yes, for -8
Ouch.
Aguero - > Gestede (C)?
Yeah why not. They are playing chelsea
Exactly my thinking
(3C)
Whoa! I'm not that maverick
If kun is out long term, then Kun and ozil > sanchez and pelle for a hit?
Seems a positive move.
Both boring and template moves. Need to come up with something inspired
Aye, sure.
Gonna do it early? 😉Not touching it till the 17th. For all you know sanchez is next!
A -8 hit wouldn't be too bad this week.
Those who got aguero would've taken a hit i guess
no,i dont have kun -but i did transfer pelle in
Perhaps it's a weird thing to say, but this injury at least repaid all those that kept the faith, and cost those that didn't about 50 points and a few more in hits.
Indeed 🙂
But I still hope he's fit.Aye, me and all 🙂
Yaya back on penalty duty anyway 🙂
Who are folks replacing Kun with? Sturridge for one or two weeks? Or a team reshuffle to get Haz in??Pelle if needed.
I already have Mane & he's ticking along nicely... reluctant to double up on Southampton attack, although Pelle is on fire at the minute alright
I think it depends on how long he's out for, if only 3 weeks I'd get Costa maybe if longer then Lukaku to set my team up for GW11
wow just looked at everton's fixs from GW11... Nice... Costa is an interesting call, he could come up with a brace out of the blue against villa, or could do absolutely nothing
Who is more of a priority to get out?
A) Gomez (Would be playing Francis away at city if I keep him)
B) Aguero
C) Both: for a -8Depends on news. But a defender is very rarely a priority to get rid of over an attacker.
Even if the defender you will be forced to play might get negative points?
Even then. The attacker has the potential to get you double digit points. But I guess C might not be a bad option then.
Bony or Pelle for Kun for -4?
I'm thinking Costa
Naah
Back from suspension, easy fixture. Being overlooked on here.
Pelle by a very long way.
wait
you're a citeh fan-don't touch bony atm-sterling could be wheeled out imo
pelle always a good choiceYes, I am very nervous, but what can we do? Those in club know he is injury prone, but they haven't bought 3rd striker.
After Pelle, would probably get Eriksen for Sinclair.never fear nacho's here!
Pelle for sure
Wait so what happened to Kun-meister?
Thank God I didn't do any early transfers.I logged on to Flashscore this morning, looked at the Argentina result, then checked the match summary and saw an early Kun sub, and immediately came on to here to see the uproar. That's as much as I know. 😀
Cheers. Funny old game.
Did his Hammy
Silva or Mane? I currently have no Saints players but I do have KDB. Stumped on who to go for.
Silva, for now.
Normally I'd have Silva all day but I hate not having Saints cover. You know they'll bang in 5 against Leicester
Quite possible, but we know what Silva is capable of too.
Indeed. Maybe bring in Pelle ahead of Costa although I fancy Diego proving a point against Villa
Any chance of Wanyama doing a Boydinho?
Leicester at home and doos said he is becoming dangerous of latewas always abig scorer of goals-but it was SPL
Looks a bargain, but I'll be wanted 3 Saints soon. Probably Bertrand, Mane and Pelle.
0, he plays too deep
Nah.
Used up my ft. By doing martial --> Pelle.
Im thinking playing wanyama this week instead of taking a hit to get an aguero replacement if he is out for 2 weeks
sorry sorry sorry probs been asked 1200 times, but thoughts on how long aguero will be absent for?
The autopsy results haven't been release yet.
Looked a clear hammy pull to me , so a month perhaps 🙁
He looked gutted at the time, he knows he's out for a while. My guess is at least a month.
His head fell off, no return date.
Team is:
Butland, McCarthy
Kolarov, Dawson, Gomez, Nyom, Francis
Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Mane, Mahrez
Aguero, Igahlo, Graham
Already used my FT.
Assuming Aguero is out, what should I do?
A) Aguero + Gomez -----> Costa/Pelle/Lukaku + Bertrand (-8)
B) Aguero + Graham -----> Costa/Pelle/Lukaku/Sturridge/etc and play AOA (-8)
C) Aguero -----> Costa/Pelle/Lukaku and play Francis (mci) (-4)
D) Gomez -----> Bertand (-4) and deal with Aguero next week.
I'd do C if Kun out long term.
C with costa
Cheers guys, I'm actually leaning towards A.
Ayoze to replace Kun if he is out for long term? And switch to 352 after this GW with Westwood > Walcott, bad move?
Anyone?
Ayoze has begun to look good and his fixtures certainly turn round from this week. I have him.
Still a bit of a punt imo. But why not?Exactly. He will be my 8th attacker for the 352 formation once Newcastle good fixtures end, and a differential. Cheers!
On the bright side we can all use that 13m to make our teams look great all over
You will need a couple of transfers to achieve that, unless for those still with WC.
I'm one of the early transfer idiots - did it because funds were tight and I had success with the tactic last season. Guess I needn't have worried about funds! 😆
130,000+ did the same thing GW. Just one of those things.
Yeah, sunk cost - not going to dwell on it. When Aguero got injured around Christmas time last season I actually did really well out of it - lots of green arrows. It's not a problem, it's an opportunity 🙂
That's the spirit. 😀
Same 🙁
0.2 swing happening that night, felt like I was forced to make the transferAlways the risk, no regrets.
Guys any differential suggestions for this lot? Currently thinking ozil and kun > sanchez and pelle for a hit. But just seems so boring and template.
bego
kola skrtel whittaker
kdb ozil payet hazard mahrez
kun ighalo
McCarthy Jerome morgan gomezI wouldn't do those moves it you want differentials.
Gomis for an anti punt. I reckon he can turn his form around,There are some reasons for template. Good move.
Pelle, Costa, Lukaku, Vardy look the most tempting Aguero replacements I would say.
Maybe even Kane if you want to be properly different.
So Sanchez and Coutinho are doubts, Aguero is out, I've already taken a hit.. crap
Sanchez played. I'm hoping FPL Towers take his flag off.
I'm not. Why should we? It puts people off him and will force some to sell him 🙂
This
Not that fussed it's not as if I'm going to win FPL.
As a ML Chairman, even in my £ ML my job is to help new people to the game by keeping them up to date with player info.
Ah Nice, thanks
Aguero has had 500 transfers in since the game.
Casuals.
What are the most popular Aguero-replacements?
Thinking Sturridge, Lukaku or Pelle are the options.. Already have Mane in midfield..
Or is it time to go 3-5-1?Costa, plum fixture this week 😀
Lukaku also a good shoutA front 8 like this or so:
Sanchez KDB Walcott Payet Mane
Vardy Ighalo 8-10m striker(Lukaku, Pelle, Martial etc)I'm leaning towards pelle and drinkwater to eriksen
3-5-1? 🙄
oops
Those plus Costa and maybe even Kane if you're feeling saucy.
Oooo good shout forgot about this fella
Have to feel for Aguero. Finally found his form this season and then goes and picks up an unjury.
It's a real shame that arguably the best 2 strikers in the league (when fully fit), Aguero and Sturridge, are as injury prone as they are.
158,000 people have transferred in Aguero already this week, ouch!158 is Sanchez
132 is Aguero.
No biggy just to let you know.Ah, my bad. Far too early 😆
I feel for my team more than I do for him.
Quite right.
If Aguero out I'm tempted to do these moves over the next 3 GWs
GW9 Kun >> Lukaku
GW10 Westwood >> Walcott
Gw11 Darmian >> Coleman
Stekelenburg (McCarthy)
Kolarov DARMIAN Williams (Evans, Gomez)
Sanchez KDB Payet Mahrez (WESTWOOD)
KUN Vardy Pelle
ThoughtsI'd want to shift Gomez rather than Darmian plus you'll give yourself a benching dilemma (not sure if that bothers you) with 8 good attackers. What's the plan if Aguero is only forecast to miss 3 weeks?
Probably just transfer Kun out for Costa and sort out Gomez for Coleman as would be a easier switch back once he returns.. Leave deadwood
Fair enough - my team is very similar to yours so I'm going over similar thoughts myself.
Any updates on Aguero? Well, i'm quite delighted that I didn't make the move for him already 🙂
He's injured
If kun is out.
We'll all have a couple of millions ITB
Why don't we focus on upgrading defence and watch the points roll in?!
i think it depends on how long he's out...wont want to have to make too many extra changes to bring him back if it's just a couple of weeks
Already taken a hit and have Aguero and Sanchez. WC?
8 years, 8 months agoWas waiting till the break was over to do Pedro to Mane. With the Aguero news I'm most likely going to do Pedro and Aguero to Sanchez and Pelle for a hit. 3.7 left over.
Still going to wait though. Never know.
