We delve into the data over the past four rounds of fixtures this evening and roll out the first in a three-part series looking at the players by position. First up, then, it’s the defenders, with West Ham, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Spurs and Watford’s left-backs all catching the eye, whilst Palace’s goal-getting centre-half and Everton’s lack of resilience are also amongst our Wednesday night analysis.
-
Is the El classico on same time as City Pool?
-
El already means the
-
Thanks haha
-
*The El already means the.
-
In Los Angeles we have The La Brea Tar Pits
which translates to The The Tar Tar Pits
-
-
more or less
El Clasico starts 15 minutes before-
Why do they plan games like this? They like to watch us suffer?
-
Thanks
-
-
-
Think I'm going to get Giroud instead of Ozil for extra Arsenal cover.
Will have a trigger happy frontline of Giroud Lukaku Kane and will wait and see on Aguero through his 3 tough games. (Unless he goes ballistic and I have to rethink!)-
Vardy > Gru?
-
I've managed to survive without Vardy
-
Well done, stubborn or plain stupidity??
-
Like I say below, am doing fine without.
Bit stubborn but he's not the only striker scoring goals, and still feel he'll stutter and dry up soon-
Sorry now Limpar is your rank 338k approx?
-
2,076
-
Can't argue with that, tho you should change/delete you link so mate.
-
Lol, I guess that's the guy who took my team code from last year!
-
Changed. Cheers for that
-
No prob, Crackin rank! Keep it up.
-
607 high with 5hits along the way, :tips hat:
😉
-
-
-
-
You've picked the right captain almost every week. Bravo!! That's why you're doing fine without vardy.
So who will be your captain for GW13?
I'm on Lukaku atm.
DdG
Walker / Bellerin / Dijk
Alexis / Deulofeu / Mahrez / KdB
Kane / Vardy / Lukaku (C)
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Brilliant....I like that...
-
What if Walcott is back?
-
Is he due back yet ?
-
Maybe that'll coincide with Giroud > Aguero. You'd think Giroud is at least nailed for wba nor
-
-
What if Vardy doesn't stop? Revert back and ignore Aguero for a while? Or get Aguero and hope Vardy stops?
-
As much chance of Aguero limping off as playing for a while...
-
True..
-
worrying thing is...it is true...
-
Could have overtaken Suarez by now if he hadn't been so injury prone imo.
-
Probably....
-
in terms of?
Saurez at his best is still better than Aguero at his best.-
If Aguero hadn't had such a stop-start career I'd wager that he would have surpassed every single striker in the world at the moment in terms of his ability.
He was incredible at Atletico in so many ways, not just his goalscoring.
-
-
-
-
-
-
I've not owned Vardy and doing fine OR wise. Have been hoping Vardy will slow down, and pretty sure he will over Xmas... But his output isn't exactly un replicable
-
A goal a game...mmm...yeah...point taken...
-
😛
If he keeps it up for two more GWs it will literally be record breaking.

Roy Nemer @RoyNemer 1m1 minute ago
Argentina vs. Brazil is suspended and the match will be played tomorrow at 9:00pm local time.-
2am?
-
Midnight like today.
8.19pm now.-
So 4am Uk time?
-
-
-
That is one waterlogged pitch right there
-
-
A.) PAYET to Barkley this week.
Next week....... Pelle & Mane to Aguero + £4.3 mid who gets 90 mins per week
B.) PAYET to Willian this week.
Next week......Pelle & Mane to Aguero + Stanislas £4.2 Bmouth mid not guaranteed 90 mins pw.
Basically:
Barkely + £4.3m bench fodder guaranteed 90 mins pw.
Or Willian + £4.2m bench fodder no guaranteed game time.
Not that it changes anything but just so you know I have Lukaku.
Cheers-
C. Bolasie and Alli
-
Not for me, I don't want a benching headache every week.
And Bollasie is too sporadic for me.
Cheers for the reply though Teddy!-
Fair enough. I'd bench Alli almost every week anyway. Just gives the potential of 2 pts when players get rested or suspended which will happen particularly over Xmas
Bolasie as good a fantasy option as Willian IMO-
*of more than 2 pts
-
-
-
-
-
Deulofeu a valid Ayew replacement?
-
It's a decent choice.
Scored 3 goals today.-
He's been on my radar for a few weeks and he has good returs, great fixtures and is super cheap. I like that in an FPL player.
-
worried about his game time over Xmas
-
-
-
-
Nice crowd for the Chile/Colombia game.
Plenty of red and yellow.-
South American stadiums are incredible tbh.
-
-
Any Peterborough fans around? Great to see Forrester settling in so quickly, a lot of players going over to England struggle
http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/34801321
Truly missed at our club 🙁 -
Season weirdness level : Sharon's team
-
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/2708458/event-history/12/
New dead team leader.-
Wtf....
-
That's some team..
-
My stomach turned looking at that 😳
-
Only GW38 counts 🙂
-
That's what happens when we rely too much on Sanchez and Aguero...
-
-
Got to love that dude. Didn't play last season, but the year before he did...
-
He knew his luck would change.
-
-
The only thing in coon between that dead team and mine is our kit design. 😀
-
Common*
-
-
-
-
Thoughts on Barkley vs Eriksen and Lukaku vs Kane?
-
Barkley and Kane imo
Unless you can do Eriksen&Kane -
Eriksen and lukaku
-
Its's such a tough call
-
Not for me tho personally I'm not sure if want Eriksen.
-
-
This.
-
-
Eriksen and Kane.
-
-
Have we deduced the best cheap midfielder under 5m or are most going with a more expensive alternative coupled with Ighalo?
-
I only got a B in deduction.
-
The only reason I mentioned it was to change people's perception of me.
-
Thank you would go a long way of changing that. 🙂
-
I realise that. I know I've said it before, but I do appreciate the fact that you frequently reply to me, even when I ignorantly mass-posted RMTs.
-
Cheers, I was talking more in general. The grav change is a good start.
-
Point noted. That's good to hear.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Dele Alli if you have the cash
Otherwise Drinkwater (thirsty work this FPL stuff)-
Are we confident of his gametime in upcoming weeks?
-
-
Don't put to much in there if they are going to be bench fodder IMO.
-
Can't decide whether to go 3-4-3 with bench fodder, or someone a little pricier and rotate with Ighalo in a 3-5-2.
-
Too many good strikers to be rocking Ighalo IMO.
-
-
-
i went for surman, 4.3
-
-
Which combo is better?
1) kun, deulofeu, mane, rose
Or
2) kun, Ozil, alli/lanzini, rojo-
1) will rotate deulofeu and ighalo
2) will rotate Alli/lanzini and ighalo -
B
-
2
-
-
Whittaker is going down in price soon. Is it worth a hit to Moreno considering I plan to use him as a sub in case of Kolarov rotation?
1. I plan to make the move anyway in the next few weeks and cant afford a 0.2 price swing.
2. I need a playing bench. Both Whittaker and Oxford are useless.-
How on earth did you end up with Whittaker...
-
From my wc in wk3. He was playing and scored a goal. In hindsight he hasnt been the greatest pick.
-
-
2 seems you move based on info provided.
-
-
Van Gaal has threatened to fine Victor Valdes if he turns up to training before the rest of the manchester utd squad have left the training ground.
-
🙁
-
-
Have a few options over the break, would appreciate any input...
A) Mane to Ozil
B)Richards to Dann
C)Richards to Rojo
all leave enough to do pelle to aguero the week after. cheers! -
Looking forward to watching a meaningful game of international football tomorrow. 😀
-
Watching one now with Alexis.
-
I'm in bed.
-
So am I 🙂
-
So am I 😈
-
So am I!
-
You don't know which way Chile is going.
-
I know which way my Chile is going.
-
Left or right?
-
Depends which way I'm lying.
Currently about 20 degrees to the right, just so you know the full story.
-
-
-
-
-
Are you not Australian?
-
Bed is for all hours if you want.
-
Are you employed?
-
You can work from bed 😀
-
What line of work you in? IT?
-
Call centre operator.
-
What's the nature of the calls?
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Tough to get excited with Daryl Murphy leading the line though 😛
-
Ridiculous or what.
I'd play Robbie before him.-
Same.
I'd stick Roy up there instead of Murphy, at least he might shout the ball towards the goal. -
wash your mouth out! hatrick (against Rotherham) last weekend.
He's back!-
He's piss.
-
-
Robbie's only good for last 20 anymore. Close call with Daryl Murphy as your option tho 🙁
-
-
-
Fingers crossed. It'll be tough.
-
It will surely be.
-
-
Same here just hope we have something to play for in Dublin!
-
Dream scenario.
Even a 2-1 loss wouldn't be the worst result.
Nil nil or 1-1 even be super.-
I'd bite the hand off ya for a draw tmrw night.
-
yeah I'd be delighted with a draw.
-
-
-
Impossible. International breaks are meaningless.
-
That's cuz your Indian.
-
Really missing the premier league. That's the only reason.
-
-
-
-
With an eye on fixtures what defender for 5m would ye recommend?
Reckon Spurs or Crystal Palace have not bad fixtures coming up and assets in the price bracket.
A. Souaré
B. Walker
C. Your own suggestion.-
Walker (Souare owner)
-
Even with those fixtures coming up? Reckon CPL might have ever so slightly softer fixtures than Spurs.
-
But Pardew is too attack minded to bank on his defenders imo.
-
Maybe. Cheers for the feedback socio.
-
Pleasure.
-
-
-
-
-
Dann
-
He's 5.1 unfortunately.
-
-
-
"The club expects overall revenue for the year to be between £500m and £510m. No club has exceeded £500m before."
http://www.bbc.com/news/business-34797243-
Amazing.
-
And ticket prices are still humongous. Despite being hugely insignificant to the total turnover. I suspect they're maybe 5% of turnover?
-
Glazers are Greedy
-
-
-
FFS should get his own Price predictor
-
So people can complain when it's wrong?
-
😀
-
A disclaimer sorts that and most would accept this on here is feel.
All one can ask for in reality is a reasonable guide.
Tho for me
http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/Home/IndexAndroid
is good enough and I use this to make my final decisions, maybe tbf to scout as I say below they are happy enough with this site as that guide for players.-
People complain now when prices don't change.
-
People will always complain TM in all aspects of life, as you and I know.
-
Pointless being on here when other places have them. Price changes are not supposed to be known or else FPL may as well have them on their site.
-
As I say I'm quite happy with Fpl stats and I've it bookmarked for convenience as I like the value side of this game.
-
-
-
-
-
-
It's high time.
-
Often wondered this, maybe they feel 'plenty of others' cover this and designate resources elsewhere?
-
It's more likely they know it's a very inexact science and so don't want to be bothered.
-
This. Plus it's prediction and thus more scope for controversy.
-
-
-
Hatrick for Deufe-jobby today....YIKES
Should i be getting him over Ozil after all? (making buying Aguero far easier) -
https://mobile.twitter.com/Olimas99/status/664886171382784000/video/1
Wow. RIP Amavi. Looks like his ligaments snapped.-
I think I see two people in this photo
-
Huh? Press play?
-
ah it was just a still photo until I deleted the mobile prefix..
ouch..looks like MCL at least and maybe ACL as well..
-
-
-
Lukaku (c)
But in all seriousness that sucks. Looked very painful 🙁-
Not seen a lower leg move like that from the knee before. To be honest, I think it's end of season for him, and could be the nail in the villa coffin.
-
You sticking it on him?
Currently my (c) Bow.?-
Villa really aren't that bad defensively, tbh...
-
I haven't had a (c) fail now for a while.....
-
-
-
-
Cue Kieran Richardson bandwagon 😉
-
I wouldn't bet on it. No Villa fan wants to see him at LB. New signing Crespo may get a run
-
-
-
one off!
-
Anybody out there who is hit aggressive and takes a minus 8 or 12 on a regular basis?
Can you be succesful doing this?
Surely it keeps your squad fresh and you are not stuck with a player for weeks just because you want to save 4 points.-
Nah, -4 once in a while doesn't hurt though.
-
If you transfer someone in and then hit them out shortly after while still fit, it means you did a poor job sizing up the transfer in the first place.
Either that or you're a chaser only. -
not me
-4 every now and again is about it
wasn't there an impressive poster a couple of nights ago though who was a regular -8'er who had done well?
-
-
-
6 minutes in, Sanchez is fine.
-
Hopefully he doesn't have an Amavi...
-
Now take him off and bubblewrap him, he's done his job and added another cap to his profile!
-
7 minutes in, Sanchez is dead.
-
phew
-
Phew!!!
Remember, no news is good news! -
warrior!
-
-
Gk Butland
Kompany/Toby/Clyne/Bellerin
Marhez/Sanchez/Payet/Ozil/
Costa/Vardy/Kane
Subs Bennett/Cattermole any changers Payet will be one of the changers
And 1 FT-
Payet to Bolasie. Bench Clyne
-
-
Is having Mahrez, Westwood and Defeuleu in your midfield too risky? I think it might be...
-
Too light a midfield. Yeah.
-
Who knows, this season is unpredictable
-
Not really imo. If you play 4 mids that is.
-
Mahrez is a big hitter IMO, price irrelevant (provided Tinkerman doesn't bench him again for Okazaki).
Westwood is a fodder 5th mid, shouldn't be counted on for more than 2 points.
Deulofeu is nailed for now but there are so many players waiting in the wings that it's really just a stay of execution unless he stays on fire consistently.-
great summary. thanks.
Ozil it is. I'll worry about Aguero later!
-
-
-
Best midfielder under 8.1?
-
*ahem* This guy ^
😉-
Nah mate I'll pass on that pornstar.
-
Just means he's more limber and ready to go.
-
-
-
Bolasie if you haven't got Mahrez, Willian if you want a punt
-
Cheers mate.
-
-
-
-
Nothing with a picture of Ozil on it is sexy, sorry Gooner.
-
He's not English so he's crap.
-
Nice 'fuzzy warm tingling' feeling to owning him this time!
-
Me too. Feels great.
If Bellerin declared fit and I'm ready to ball.-
Same!
Bell/Ozil/Sanchez!
What could go wrong?
😉-
Nothing 😀
Just rises in rank for us.
-
-
-
-
-
Yeah, I will use AOA my ass.
Vardy doubt, Mane doubt.-
You just said:
"Will use all out attack my ass."
International break for ya...-
Damn you, Joseeeee. 😆
-
-
-
IRISH MADRIDISTA, stop trying to make Firmino a thing! 😛
-
you will see the power of FFS
-
He's quite clearly already a thing..
I mean, I don't know what you're talking about.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/11830413
I bought him so I'll champion him 😉-
captain him too if you've got the balls 😉
-
He's on my bench 😀
Genuinely might captain him vs Swansea though....
-
