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.
-
Costa in for Kun?
-
@Granville
Check email about BC. -
So Aguero -> Pelle looks like a straightforward decision
which means Hoolahan can become Silva 😆 -
Good game between Chile and Brazil.
-
It is. Even I like it. Fast, counter-attacking play.
-
Stream?
-
Not allowed.
-
On TV here.
-
-
That's Latin American football for you, we leave it all on the pitch.
-
-
I actually quite like Kun being out. Opens things up a bit and suits the 3-5-2. Could do without the 4-8 pt hit I'll be taking as a result though lol
-
How could you dislike magical weekends like last one. It's what we live for in FPL and Kun is pretty much the only one that can deliver those
-
-
Would be an epic meltdown here if even Sanchez limps off ! (I hope it never happens).
-
He's taking it easy atm.
-
Heard about Kun I guess
-
He has another game. Hope he stays fit. Like Aguero, he is fun to watch; not just from an FPL standpoint.
-
He won't play the 2nd game. Could be ok in a week.
-
-
-
Isn't he already injured?
-
He's playing right now.
-
-
-
Kun > Lukaku & Morrison > Mane looks on the cards
-
Oh for chrissake what happened to Kun?
-
Hammy
-
-
Aguero injured , Valdivia out , better sleep
-
#MCFC are sweating on the fitness of Aguero who was replaced during the first half v Ecuador after suffering an apparent hamstring strain
I realise it is prob old news on here now..
Early thoughts on this.
Aguero owner for a while.-
Wait for scans ... he could be doing the "international injury" thing, complete with stretcher and City physio on standby.
Or you might wanna think about Walcott.
-
-
Need advice. Aguero - Pelle and Sako - Silva for a -4? Or Aguero - Lukaku, Sako - Silva and Mahrez - Mane for a -8? Vardy and Ighalo are my other two strikers.
-
If Kun is ruled out for a while there will be a fair amount of hits being taken in the next few weeks I'd imagine.
-
Wow I just realized this is a WC qualifier match 😯 If we beat beat Brazil, it'd be huge!
-
you're Chilean & u don't know that's a WC qualifications game ?
-
Crazy right?
-
I'm pretty sure the last time round you were Malaysian.
-
@Zasa, I'm pretty sure you were Malaysian last time round.
-
What are you talking about?
-
-
-
-
-
Chile should have scored.
-
Alexis at it again
-
Proof stats don't work IMO.
-
-
-
Just hoping its only a minor strain, two or three weeks out. This is when your 8th attacker can come in handy.
-
Westwood, I think not, would rather take to hit thanks
-
Depends on who your 8th attacker is. Ighalo and Hoolahan owners would be alright.
-
Ditto
-
-
Luckily I've got Bentaleb coming back...
-
-
Isn't Aguero>Bony the obvious move? Same fixtures, same people assisting him, and now he's going to get good game time and find his feet at the club and maybe play like he did at Swansea...or maybe better!
-
Fixtures aren't great tho right.?
Plus he isn't Aguero. Not anything as prolific.
Lukaku, Pelle the guys I have my eye on.. ATM. -
Bony's crap though. The midfield will just play around him and get all the goals like they did last season. Bony is used as a diversion when he plays as the lone striker.
-
-
Aguero out, Klopp in, we're still in the first week of the break, incredible!
-
Wow, Diouf, Janmaat, Lens and now Aguero likely to miss next week. I am cursed this season.
-
Has Navas ever played as a striker ?
-
No. He's always played as a very out of position right back that is instructed never to score goals.
-
-
How long do his hamstring injuries usually last?
-
Depends on the severity
-
We ll be guessing this for a while.
Need to feed off any hints we can get.
Ranging from a week or two to months. -
Minor: 1-2 weeks
Moderate: 3-5 weeks
Major: 6+ (i.e. off the bone)
It's moreso the fragility and lack of fitness after, and the fact that Kun has done this 100 times before so they'll ease him back with cameos rather than just whacking him straight back in for 90 mins.
Very frustrating injury -
Did mine in August, took me about 5 weeks from not being able to stand properly at all to fully fit again, but Aguero has physio's and I just had some frozen peas.
-
-
For people on a WC gw 11 this is huge. A forward line of Kun, Pelle, Lukaku without Kun can lead to monstrous possibilities in mid and defence.
-
Vargas goal
-
Vargas 1-0
-
Well now that Kun is out...who do you say is man city's best attacking option? At least I have funds for Sanchez now...
-
KDB. Silva. Maybe Kolarov as he is on penalties.
-
So Kolarov suddenly the man to have again
-
Yaya will be on penalties
-
I kept yaya. Nice.
-
If he is back that is. He seems fragile too. Getting older doesn't help.
-
Kolarov isn't a penalty taker that is for sure.
-
-
-
-
If Kun is out, Yaya is the first guy I'm getting.
-
-
golazaooooooo vamos chile
-
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
-
Rubz 😯 Where have you been man? Turned into a primetimer now have we?
-
-
-
If Aguero really is out, which combo is better:
(A) Mane and Sturridge
(B) Klukaku and Silva-
b

-
Anyone here have 2 FTs this week?
Not a WC question...-
o/
-
+1 Good work

-
I did but stupidly jumped at the pelle > Martial transfer for price rise. Sometimes wish I didn't have any knowledge of price changes.
-
I did the same but Marial >> Pelle
-
-
-
@zasa are you ready?
-
I'm always ready.
-
Yeah you are, this is your big moment!
-
-
-
Frikkin classic - Pellegrini goes and says Aguero will not have muscle related injuries then Aguero gets injured. Now what. Hammy will prob be 2 weeks and you know how they always like to ease him in. GODDAMNIT.
-
Gotta be Costa as Kun replacement with Chelsea fixtures and my team without Hazard
