Our delve into the Gameweek 9 data comes around tonight, as we cast an eye over City’s weekend goal heroes in our first members article of the week. Arsenal’s midfield differentials and Newcastle’s four-goal Dutchman are on our radar, whilst we also asses a couple of overlooked recruits for our five-man backlines ahead of the weekend deadline.
Can someone explain to me why there are people on here without Vardy or Payet? What more do these players have to do to convince?
😡
Why do you mind? More points for you and me.
Payet now is overpriced. Non explosive, tough fixtures and... shifted to left back!!!
Vardy is absolutely on the money in every statistic.
If sarcastic about Payet then i give you +1, if not then im really not sure what to say.
Truly I'd get Ozil over him at the current price.
They are both heavily involved in everything their teams do. Create the most chances in the league,etc. Ozil and Payet if you had to chose is just a coin toss for me. I would personally get Payet cuz i have Sanchez.
Lol overpriced.....cause you really need the cash with Aguero out..
He's the highest points scorer in the game 😆
Kolarov is the highest scoring defender. Declared fit. But out of my team.
Rotation + few weeks blanking.
Payet is worth keeping but with fixtures I expect Ozil to outscore him over the next 5.Aye, I sold Kola too. I'm not saying Payet is essential but he's got to be worth his price based on what he's done so far.
Agree, Payet might be overpriced now.
Hazard wasn't very explosive last season, but he ended as top scorer in the entire FPL. There's a lot to be said for an assist and bonus every week.
I had Mane over Payet.
I still think that might be a good idea for the next 5.
I made a mistake on Vardy, as I didn't fancy his fixtures... And opted for Sakho at the time instead. In any case, I've now used my WC and I still don't have them.
I thought having Walcott would be better. Silly me. 🙂
The rotation just kills as a fpl prospect.
What rotation 😉
You're right though, the possibility is always there.
I really want to own Payet, the simple reason is that I don't want to drop any of my midfield. I'm happy with Sanchez, KDB, Mane and Mahrez, an option would be to switch to a 5 man midfield, but I have had more pressing matters.
Been going without Vardy since I needed Ighalo as a cheap Kun enabler. Brought in Pelle rather than Vardy last GW, got Vardy for a hit yeaterday.
First time Vardy owner this GW, drought incoming.
Wenger quotes:
The Arsenal boss said: "He [Aaron Ramsey] is alright but very down because he told me that his hamstring is quite a tough one. He's out.
"Alexis? You could see he was jaded physically. He still pushes himself too much and finished exhausted. Two games with Chile, plus travelling plus Watford and tonight. It's too much."
Alexis will 99% start and be rested next midweek in C1C - but still something to keep in mind though.
Anyone else looking to double up City mids next week?
Got Yaya in for a hit this past week - was a complete failure but happy to keep for NOR and avl.
Was set to bring him in but not sure anymore after getting subbed during ht against Bournemouth.
Looking to bring Sterling for Deadwood or Silva for MahrezNot sold on Sterling......Silva though would be a great choice.
Like Yaya though he may see more limited minutes with ongoing ankle problems and CL games.
Could be.
Ozil Silva Sanchez KDB Payet
For the week.....Mahrez looks such a great option for the next 3-4 games.
think yaya is done, having another sook season
I reckon you gotta take some hits to manage that?
I wouldnt need too, but that midfield looks very tasty. Would be an AOA played for sure. Might do it with mahrez instead of Ozil
No..no hits needed.
Indeed very juicy then
I will most likely double up in mid with Silva/Sterling depends if silva is fit. I think i will go with Sterling and then ship him out to fund Agu back i guess. Thats the plan, but plans change.
Will have to sell either Westwood or Mahrez. Will most likely be Westwood and cause myself a huge benching headache.We have similar plans. Agreed with massive benching headaches until Kun is fit.
Altough looking to play AOA in gw11Same as me, that is my plan but i was hoping to save AOA for gw 38 with goals galore 😀
High five! We are going to smash them 😎
Next week which transfer should I make?
A)Drinkwater to Payet?
B)Drinkwater to Cabaye?
C)Francis to Bertrand?
Want to have all 3 eventually just wondering what would be the best order to get them.A
A
thanks guys
Good morning chaps.
................................ Butland - Ruddy ................................
......... Kolarov - Cedric - Jevans - Souare - Francis .........
......... Sanchez - Hazard - Sterling - Ayew - Mahrez .........
............................... Pelle - Vardy - Deeney ..............................
I have 1 FT and 0.9ITB. Francis to go this week for Janmaat/Moreno/Alder?
Save the FT?
WC?
francis to alder and play instead of cedric
going forward mata or eriksen?
Eriksen
Mata
Mata after gw 10
Only Juan answer when you look at the fixtures after this week
Juan and Only..
cheers, guess im gonna keep hold, really want eriksen tho, worth swapping payet out?
Depends if Mata retains his starting spot.
Think I'd get Eriksen for the next few TBH, if I had room in midfield. Could always reassess later.
Morning gents, good to go this week? Anything worth a hit? 1.5m in bank
Myhill
Toby Azpi Kolarov
Sanchez (c) KDB Mane Mahrez
Costa Vardy (vc) Pelle
McCarthy Richards Westwood Targett
CheerS
Play Evans and Martin against eachother or play Hutton and bench one?
evans and martin, more likely to be involved with goals
First two
Bench Evans, Norwich have scored i think in every game till now
Cheers guys! Hutton was on the bench and staying there!
REPOST
Who to play?
A- Francis
B- Cedric
Who to bench?
A- Yaya
B- Pelle
C- Ighalo

Is Ozil now a viable option ?
Very.
Playing better than he's ever played in the prem and very much the equal of the City mids.
Cazorla is a better option in my eyes as he is on pens
That's about all Cazorla has going for him this season. Ozil a far better option imo.
Cazorla has more SOT and SITB and is just a tad behind in chances created than Ozil
Maybe at the start of the season. In the last 4:
Ozil: 5 SITB, 3 SOT, 17 CC
Cazorla: 3 SITB, 1 SOT, 6 CC
Not even a contestEH mate Cazorla is stat troll. I think last year he had 15-16 SoT without scoring. That is about non penalty goals. Don't go there. I felt in that trap too
He relies solely on penalties though - may as well just buy Noble.
Cabaye
Ozil averaging 6 points a game, Cazorla 3 points a game. He'd better start getting a penalty every game for that reason to be valid...
See above
Would rather look at points scored myself.
How many of those has he scored this season?
I suppose he always has been. Just difficult with so many promising mids to choose from.
would you double up with sanchez tho?
Nobody saw a problem with a Kun + YYT/Silva/KDB double up...
I own both
This is the other thing...I'm not sure. To be clear I've decided to go without Ozil for these reasons, but I still like him as an option.

What next?
Can you afford Gabriel -> Bellerin?
Gabriel -> Monreal given the budget
Chances of Sanchez being rested?
Higher than we'd like judging by Wenger's comments.
Slim. He'll get a rest next week when the League Cup games are on.
This....running close to the wind though...^
At least Arsenal played on Tuesday and he has until Saturday evening to rest as they are the late kick-off. Much needed rest next week and he should be fine 🙂
Close to nil
Against Sheffield Wednesday next week - a near certainty.
LoL at your gravatar 😀
4 days rest at home hopefully should be enough for a guy like Sanchez
Thanks chaps.
0%, everton are not to be taken lightly
Perez moving along nicely for pts....mmmm.
NEW in general have options, after the 4 goal machine last week surely he is the better option at that price? Although Mitrovic looks solid too
Ruddy
Azpillicueta // Bertrand // Evans
Ayew // Payet // Mahrez // Sanchez (c)
Martial // Pelle // Gomis
McCarthy // Kolarov // Westwood // Ward5m in the bank.. Is Gomis ------> Vardy (c) my best transfer this week yeah???
Yes.
Play Kola instead of Berty.
Yup. Maybe a new keeper next week?
Exactly my thinking, always been something more pressing but biggest flop of the season!
Morning chaps.
1/. Who's the best Watford defender to get? Nyom?
2/. Is Wolly (stk) playing because someone is injured (and he'll lose his place soon)?
3/. Is Hangerland (cpl) playing because someone is injured (and he'll lose his place soon)?
4/. Is Kelly (cpl) playing because someone is injured (and he'll lose his place soon)?1. Nyom
2. ShawX back soon
3. 4. UnsureCheers Mario. Hopefully i'll get a response for 3 & 4 - they could be really good value over the few fixtures.
Ighalo to Costa for a hit this gameweek? Any other options to improve the team below for next week?
Myhill (Nor)
Kompany (Man U), Bellerin (Eve), Richards (Swa)
Mane (Liv), Mahrez (Cry), Ayew (Avl), Sanchez (Eve) - Vice Captain, Payet (Che)
Vardy (Cry) - Capitain, Pelle (Liv)
Subs: Mc Carthy (Lei) Ighalo (Stk), Gomez (Sou), Darmian (Mci)
In the bank: 7.2 millionGomez -> Spurs defender
Captain Vardy or Sanchez.Gomez - Spurs defender for a hit? Are you sure. I thought the golden rule is never a hit for a defeneder!
Ayew to KDB
Ayew has got Aston Villa this week and KDB has Man United! The odds are against KDB
how many more games to give hazard a chance? had him since the start and was expecting a turn around, time to cut losses?
Ship him out.
I think you should have shipped him out already - I had him from the start too, but I shipped him out GW5, and it's only got worse for him since, being benched and told by mourinho he won't play till he works harder. Atm I can't see a reason to keep him tbh
He was back in form against DKV yesterday, just lacked final returns. So might be back as an option sooner rather than later imho. Will be between him and KdB.
I'm keeping (if i don't WC) - but shipping him out if i do. I've had enough...
i foolishly kept him on my WC a copuple weeks ago instead of getting payet because i was hoping for the best. The thing is i know he will start to come good at some point because he has way too much class, but its beyond ridiculous now. Im thinking 1 maybe 2 more matches tops.
I think he will do well, if the team does well. Willian looks to be the guy in form though.
he is but i would never buy willian in fpl, his assist/goal stats are horrrid up until now
Butland Hennessey
Bellerin Bertrand Dawson Souare Simpson
Sanchez KDB Hazard Mane Payet
Pelle Vardy Ighalo
1 FT and 0.1 mill in the bank
Time for Hazard to go? Who to though??
A) Keep him (and save FT)
B) Mata
C) Eriksen
D) Someone else?- new article posted
That was one entertaining scoutcast. Especially that youtube comment section 😀
Just like in total fpl.Wenger implying Sanchez may get rested vs Everton?
I'm fairly happy with this team but typically I can't resist the appeal of tinkering. Any subs here or save?
