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.
My team is pretty poor currently and needs some changing. Any suggestions. Will have to take a -8 hit as two transfers already done. Worth taking it?
De gea. Schwarzer
Alderweireld Azpi Darmian Targett Dawson
KDB Sanchez Sterling Walcott Drinkwater
Vardy Ighalo Martial
Some ideas I have currently-
Martial->bony or pelle or lukaku?
Walcott->Ozil? (Walcott is a rotation threat?)
Defence and gk needs some changing(maybe get someone chepaer in place of de gea or darmian or azpi and have some money itb)
Anything very urgent? Do I take a -8?
Nothing that's worth a hit
Don't take a hit. Just do Martial if you really want, but neither of your options face easy opponents
You guys think Bonys GW just were a fluke or you think he'll keep scoring?
He will keep scoring until Aguero returns then he will be benched
His goals were very flukey but he plays for City so there could be more to come.
I plan to bring him in an captain for Norwich
He will continue to score. He's a goal machine.
"Come on Wilfried Bony, score some goals for City"
Best 1 week punt?
A) Walcott (EVE) - playing OOP, decent form, explosive potential
B) Ozil (EVE) - decent form, guaranteed minutes, set pieces
C) Eriksen (bou) - looked good in recent weeks, easier fixture, differential
Out of those, C
A) has a massive points ceiling
Yeeeah, but surely there's a slight risk of a benching after yet again Giroud comes on to score after Walcott blanks. I get the longer term risk/reward, but could be a disastrous 1 week punt,
Although, I'm not a big fan of 1 week punts period.
Only one of those is capable of scoring a hatty and that's Wally. However if Spurs turn up vs Bournemouth Eriksen *will* be involved.
eriksen almost scored a hattie againt swans two weeks ago
Begovic - McCarthy
Dier - Bellerin-Sagna- Prodl-Francis
Sterling - Sanchez - Mahrez - Coutinho - Westwood
Martial - Pelle - Costa
1FT and 0.3 itb
I'm really not sure about any transfers this week, Coutinho out maybe or save FT?
My Beloved DZ, Im here to answer questions, please ask away!
Down 🙂
Toast or cereal?
Would you agree with the following.
Save my FT and the next week do
Hazard to KDB
Ayew to Ozil
And Ighalo to Luk
For a minus four hit
Leaves me with a team of
DDG. McCarthy
Kolv. Prodl. Williams. Bellerin. Staylor.
Sanchez. Ozil. KDB. Mahrez. Payet.
Pelle. Luk. Vardy.
Or should I look at getting another man city attackers in instead of Ozil/Luk like Bony/StirlingWho are you benching form your front 8?
Mahrez most likely. Vs west brom. I love benching headaches. One thing I've learnt. Is that the number of injuries that's happened this season means you need a strong bench
True. Mind you I can't talk my front 8 is
Sanchez, Ozil, KDB, Payet, Wijnaldum
Pelle, Lukaku, Vardy
Now there's a benching headache.
I will be benching Lukaku. Everton have a bad record away to Arsenal.
Precisely when Lukaku's most likely to score a brace....
I think all those are luxury transfers but youll want to make atleast one so you dont waste a FT.
I wouldnt bring in Lukaku unless you take out one of our mids for bench fodder, perhaps ayew to bench fodder and Lukaku in for ighaloWhat would you advise?
Are you the same Scab from CWC 2015 UAE?
With 1 FT and 6.9 in the bank. Which is the better?
A. Sakho to Kane (I have Payet and no Spurs)
B. Targett to Moreno (other def are Bellerin, Toby, Williams, Prodl)
C. Bentaleb to anybody and play 352
D. Wait and to do direct Sakho to Aguero in case he drinks the same magic potion taken by Kolarov.What's the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
African or European?
Huh? I... I don't know that.
reply fail to DMHOMAG
Arrrrggggghhhhhhhh......
Thoughts on this lots gents.
Butland
Francis / Janmaat / Kolarov
Sanchez / Hazard / Payet / Mahrez
Pelle / Berahino / Bojan
McCarthy Barkley Nyom Targett
1FT 5.7inb
A) Save this week. (leaning towards)
B) Berahino/Bojan >> Vardy
C) Hazard >> Mane/ Sterling/ any other city mid
D)??
B
B) Vardy
B
Origi likely to start again gwk10?
Captain Kane or Sanchez this week?
It's now or never for Kaner
Mata > Sanchez for a -4 hit?
Thoughts?I'd keep Mata if I had him. Any other way around it?
Martial > Boby but I'd rather have Gunners coverage?
bony lol
I mean to get Sanchez in.
Not really 🙁
Mids are ; Payet, Mahrez, Mata, Barkley & KDB
No
If Sanchez to be rested it would probably be for the full 90 minutes, I'd reckon? So I think I'll still captain him, an rely on vice captain Vardy if he shouldn't play.
very much doubt he will be rested but if he is , he could still come on if they struggling to break everton down.
Could of course happen, but when resting a player I think he needs to look at it long term, even if it means conceding points in a match.
Test
Its working just fine
icles
Some has overtaken you 8)
Who expected that result from Arsenal ? Still in shock
Great performance. Wasn't surprised. Pep is overrated.
I soon as they brought Giroud on I knew they would win 2-0 with Ozil scoring the 2nd.
Congrats on your massive winnings 😉
Hows the season going you two?
WC next week.
Thoughts on these moves?
Mane--->Wijnaldum
Sakho--->Vardy
Gives me:
Begovic
Alderwield Dawson Williams
KDB Wijnaldum Sanchez Mahrez Walcott
Pelle Vardy (Martial)
Cheers 🙂Only this week? Sound moves. I'd play Martial though.
Sakho ---> Vardy.... Yes
assuming for free then yes for sure. not sure why you would want to wc though next week you could rather hold mane then use two ft and get more city next week. Not neccesary to wc at all imo. maybe wait for leicester fixtures to turnt then do it....
Just the second one for me
For any FPL team,which goalkeeping duo do you ppl reckon to be the best combination?
If you are looking to play both from time to time, then have one guy who plays at home and the other away so that u can keep swapping them for the home field advantage, as much as possible.
At this point given Boruc's doubt and Bournmouth;'s defense, I would recommend Butland & Gomes (alternate home & away). Cheap and make more saves with an added bonus of cleansheet sometimes.
How did Walcott look last night, still worth bringing him in?
Not with Gru continuously knocking on the door.
he got into alot of great positions movement was good , still needs to work on his shooting i feel. I am an owner myself and there is always the niggling fear he will be benched though. If I didnt have him I would rather go ozzil atm tbh. Hes looking on fire!
Should better get Ozil. Similar price.
Good more me all. Thinking of saving g a ft this week to have 2 in the next. Will give me some indication if mahrez is a state or not otherwise can fix the defence next week. My team..
Myhill - ruddy
Muniesa - Kompany - williams - Richards - Francis
Mahrez - Sanchez - payet - westwood - Kdb
Vardy- martial - PelleTypos gallor apologies
You're good this week.
Anyone put off from Sanchez(c) after yesterday?
Why?
What happened? 😕
Would you agree with the following.
Save my FT and the next week do
Hazard to KDB
Ayew to Ozil
And Ighalo to Luk
For a minus four hit
Leaves me with a team of
DDG. McCarthy
Kolv. Prodl. Williams. Bellerin. Staylor.
Sanchez. Ozil. KDB. Mahrez. Payet.
Pelle. Luk. Vardy.
Or should I look at getting another man city attackers in instead of Ozil/Luk like Bony. Or even Barkley instead of Ozil
Best tottenham defender to have from below?
Dier - Goal threat, but also a Yellow card magnet
Alderweireld
Walker
Rose - Rotation risk
Toby
I did a lot of research. Went Toby.
Dier - not because he is a yellow card magnet but because Spurs have lots of midfield options and he could get rotated in December
Toby - Solid pick.
Walker - Very attacking. Cheap. But doesn't give returns
Rose - Best of the lot. Spurs fans reckon he's not rotation prone and is first choice. Flairy. Will get highest BAPS and attacking points.Why wasn't Rose playing from the beginning of the season if he isn't a rotation risk though?
Injured.
From the Scout reports I've been reading, Toby is the one to be on. Just can't trust Spuds defensively still. WBA on the other hand...
I like Walker
4 players from my team in a big game .. Kolarov & KDB vs Darmain & Martial
doesn't look like a promising GW!!Higher probability of losing out points for 2 players
If you go to see, there is a good chance atleast 2 of them will perform.
The proverbial half-empty half-full scenario then
Need them all to score ideally. Bar Damian, the other three give you a chance.
1-1 with Bony and Rooney goals assisted by Sterling and Mata respectively 😉
Those of you who haven't used your WC, when do you intend to use it? I'm averse to using mine before the upcoming international break but then Everton, United and co get tasty fixtures after this GW. Would be nice to have some of their players.
Current team:
Myhill, Schmeichel
Cedric, Evans, Francis, Bellerin, Sagna
Sanchez, Payet, Mahrez, Ayew, KDB
Ighalo, Pelle, VardyCan't see many you'd want to sell from that attack. Maybe Ayew. Keep WC for Christmas period.
Looking at the Big Numbers ^ Martial owners must be a tad concerned. 😕
Not really Jaf. United fan here. He played on the wings this week to counter Colemans threat. And still had 2-3 big chances.
Nice season you're having.Cheers Laterz. The article above says he has very few attempts on goal. One attempt every 70 minutes 🙁
Btw, what's happened to our old mucker, El Ninio?
He's been playing a lot of draft games. This is boring for him i guess.
I'm waiting to see where Martial plays today. Should move up to striker soon.I think he got a job in US didn't he?
Not able to look at the numbers, but he'll have this GW to prove himself. Otherwise its Martial -> Bony ahead of Norwich at home.
Do you think Bony will be consistent enough?
Not necessarily same returns as against Bournemouth, but still worth a punt until Aguero returns imho.
Yes concerned. Though he had big chances to score vs. both Arsenal and Everton.
Hard for a 19 year old lad to be a consistent scorer when he is just establishing himself. I stayed away from him.
Well done. I am keeping him till Aguero returns I guess.
Thoughts on Pedro in the long term?
Likely to be nailed or rotated?If Mourinho decides to focus on improving his defense, which I think he is, then even if Pedro does play all games, not sure if he will rake in lot of points.
Nailed, but better midfield options out there.
It's for a Draft league....im considering setting him to Lamela so u can upgrade Bera to Gomis and upgrade 4.5 def to Toby....?
Who to field this weekend?
A) Martial
B) ManéProbably Martian-he'll be up for this one.
With Jaf on this one. I think he'll get a goal.
Talking of Martian, I've just watched "The Martian."
Anyone seen it? It was excellent 🙂Loved it. Lots of good movies. The Walk. Sicario. The Spielberg Tom Hanks One.
PS - You should watch Martial play. FPL aside, he's a lot of quality.Never heard of those other movies, Laterz. Just took the wife and even she liked it (she hates sci fi).
The Martian landscapes looked great didn't they? Best CGI I've seen. Dreading the new Star Wars film which looks CGI-driven.Watch the Walk with the wife Jafa. Recommend it.
Oh thanks - always love a great recommendation! 🙂
Watched it recently. it was okay a bit slow and predictable for my liking
How did hazard get on last night? Keep or Sell? Cheers
Best player imo..check stickies
Keep
Play Kolarov or Prodl this week?
Prodl
Start Kolo. Likely to be a high scoring game.
+1
Lord
Kolarov
How will Walcotts role/position be impacted upon now Ramsey is out?
I'm thinking of getting rid. Too much uncertainty around him?doesn't it mean more likely to start ?
Thinking if he's pushed out wide?
Giroud is doing well too so wondering about his minutesIt might be as JAP said below.
Ox is always an option.
No change. Ox will come in on the right.
Cheers all
Just seen Kolarov doesn't have a red flag, is he fit now? Haven't read anything or heard any Pelle pressers
declared fit for midweek game by Pelle yesterday
outstanding. best news i got all week
yupp...he is passed fit for ucl game...so obviously he will start against manu..
Which means Sagna's position in trouble?
Sagna/Zab will rotate the same as Clichy (when fit)/Kol will rotate. Maybe time to ship but my DF is a mess at the mo so hearing Kol is fit makes me happy 🙂
That's one less DF I have to worry about as I could only field 1 DF last week
Ruddy-Rudd
Bellerin-Cedric-Dawson-Huth-Saylor
Sanchez-KDB-Mahrez-Ayew-Fletcher
Pelle-Martial- Sakho
5.9 ITB ,1FT
What looks to be the weak spot in my side?Sakho to Vardy
