We delve into the members’ data tonight and assess some of the key statistics from the Gameweek gone by. Stoke and Leicester’s weekend goal heroes arrive on our radar, whilst we also analyse Chelsea’s lack of end product, Aaron Ramsey’s central midfield display and the relentless displays of Watford’s top scorer.
-
What would you do with this lot?
Butland l Hennessey
Kolarov l Bertrand l Moreno l Dawson l Souare
Tadic l Marhez l Hazard l Coutinho l Gosling
Lukaku l Aguero l Kane
1FT / 0.3ITB
Aguero to Giroud / Martial ?-
Not Giroud and I'm not convinced with martial. If you do sell Aguero however, I'd be awfully tempted to take and extra step and take a hit selling Tadic for a city mid.
-
I like the Giroud punt. Not a Man U player
-
Problem with Giroud is that Wenger could deploy Campbell and Ox on either flank, leaving Walcott fighting for the forward position
-
He could but Ox and Campbell both so poor recently i doubt both will play
-
I think Campbell has played alright though to be fair
-
-
-
-
Cheers guys
-
-
It's slowed down heaps so maybe I can get some good feedback!
1FT and £0.7 ITB.
Aguero is the obvious problem child in my squad but there's also the lingering doubt over Coutinho, and poor form of the saints (van Djik). I want to know if I should sell Aguero for Kane, or bench this week and play Alli as cover.
Butland
Kolarov - Moreno - Van Dijk
Silva - Ozil - Coutinho - Mahrez
Lukaku - Vardy - Aguero
Schmeichel; Alli - Ogbonna - Dawson-
All depends on Aguero news.
Aguero to Kane seems the move if out.
If fit VvD to Spurs-
If Aguero is fit I'll more then likely bank the FT, Ogbonna has Stoke at home so I can play him this week and reasses with 2 frees up my sleeve
-
True. Im a Bert owner and personally want him to Alder asap
-
Bert at least racks up the odd assist
-
True, i just feel like i should be on that Spurs defence. Will wait a week, i need to sort Targett this week
-
Spurs defence hasn't been as solid as it may seem
-
-
-
-
-
-
Alli.
-
You really need to wait for the pressers with doubts over Coutinho and Aguero. The Pellegrine information is usually pretty reliable.
If both are out you clearly need to replace one. Most seem to expect Coutinho back soon but Klopp is going to be a master of misinformation at this rate.-
If both are out then one definitely has to make way.
Either Aguero to Kane or Coutinho to Ramsey/Walcott
-
-
In any scenario is be very comfortable playing Alli.
He's played twice at CAM, produced both games, and Newcastle are vulnerable to shipping big numbers.
I have VVD and feel the same way, though I'm sure I'll see him rising like a salmon and putting a bullet header in from a corner if I take him out this week...-
I actually want to play Alli which is why I don't mind benching Kun. It's not having Kane that worries me
-
Yeah, I can appreciate that. If Cout is fit do you see yourself playing him tho?
Assuming you would then use your FT for Kane, what gives?-
If cout is fit I think he has to play for me
-
-
-
-
Your team is close enough to what I aspire to...
-
-
Hey guys, any ideas on how to improve my team:
Myhill, McCarthy
Bellerin, Coleman, Moreno, Ward, Targett,
Silva, Ozil, KDB, Mahrez, Hoolahan,
Lukaku, Kane, Vardy
£4m ITB and 1 FT
Was originally set on ditching Myhill for DDG but having second thoughts and maybe I should save?
Cheers-
Save it
-
Save, or sort Targett to a playing player with Xmas hectic fixtures coming up
-
Thanks all
-
-
Ramsey, Coutinho (if fit) or Silva in this week if you had to choose?
Have Ozil and Aguero (obviously will not get Silva if Aguero is fit).-
Coutinho if fit.
-
Ramsey
-
-
How did KDB looked yesterday and why was he subbed early?
-
Nice rest for the weekend, I hope 🙂
-
Just brought him in.
-
-
Ineffective, not injury-related
-
Shite imo
-
Some say back to his best, some say rubbish. I wish I'd watched the game 🙁
-
Depends if you're an owner or not - I think there's a lot of bias in people's responses. I'm an owner, so bear that in mind - and I'd say he was very advanced but didn't really contribute that much to goalscoring opportunities, but it was of those games that he could still have walked away with a couple of assists but only if his team mates had been brilliant after he'd passed them the ball.
-
-
-
% chance of Aguero getting minutes on the weekend?
-
1 in 5
-
30
-
-
Has there ever been a more foolish knee jerk transfer than bringing Sturridge in for a hit last week? Struggling to think of one
-
It was quite rash. Fair play to having the balls to go for it but it was a pretty obvious outcome.
-
Thanks captain hindsight. He did miss a one on one
-
How is it hindsight?? Was inevitable to happen that's my point
-
He looked good in the cup game so people took a punt against a weak looking Newcastle. I agree it was a low percentage move but can't say injury inevitable
-
-
-
-
Would appreciate your suggestions on my team.
Cech
Wollsheid Alderweireld Dann
Mahrez(VC) Hazard KDB Ozil (C)
Kane Vardy Lukaku
Already used up my FT to replace VVD with Toby
0.2 ITB
What should I do with Hazard?
Thanks a ton!-
Bench - McCarthy, Bolasie, Simpson & Martin
-
Hmm...your defence is quite weak but nothing worth a hit
-
-
Bench?
-
Leave Hazard
-
-
-
When was the last time Utd were in Europa?
-
Just when you thought the Europa couldn't get any duller
-
11/12
-
And, if I remember correctly, they couldn't wait to get knocked out. I think that Man City were also there that season and did the same.
-
United lost to A.Bilbao in the round of 16. City lost to Sporting Lisbon in the same round.
-
I remember some of the football Bilbao played was breathtaking at times, I've never seen I side outplay United at Old Trafford like they did.
-
-
-
-
-
How does Aguero to Martial for a two week punt sound - with the intention of bringing back Kun for City's fixture against Sunderland GW 18? I already have Kane and Lukaku
-
Man u are a no go area
-
This
-
-
Might as well bring in Sterling too if you are going to base your FPL decisions with UCL
-
Sounds real bad
-
who do you guys recommend bringing in for 2 weeks instead?
-
I would wait on news and if he is out for just a week then bench.
-
-
-
-
With the MAN injuries, assuming you have a WC, what will be your back 5 for the weeks until January?
-
What?
-
Smalling Bellerin Kolarov Toby Moreno
-
Smalling injury. Moreno doesn't do clean sheets. Kola rotation risk/ no CS without Kompany?
Thinking Dann, Dawson, Shawcross, Simpson-
Your kidding?
-
-
-
-
G2G lads? Thanks all.
DDG
Kolv. Bellerin. Moreno.
Mahrez. KDB. Ozil. Walcott.
Kane. Ighalo. Lukaku.
Subs. McCarthy. Barkley. Wollscheid. Prodl.
Still not sure whom to captain. Between Walcott (if he starts tonight) and Kane-
Captain Mahrez imo
Other than that, your team looks great
ps Friendly Suggestion: Walcott>Barkley-
Thanks man.
That's a shout. Captain Mahrez.
I reckon if Walcott starts tonight on the wing with Giroud up front. We can say wally is nailed.
-
-
-
Looking at getting my defense together. Cant afford Man U, have Stoke GK. What 3 teams would you say are best to cover. Im thinking-
Spurs/ Man C (if Kolorov)/?????
Any thoughts? Everton? Lpool? Need 3 solid really-
Moreno Spurs west brom soon
-
Oh yeah, WBA. Forgot them, thanks
-
You're welcome
-
-
This and Palace.
-
-
Moreno Rose/Alder Zouma and Kolarov IMO
-
Wouldn't be ge getting Kol for xmas
-
That's why I said 4 defenders , to cover for Kola's rotation
-
He's a 1pt cameo candidate though
-
-
-
-
Thanks all. This is helpful
-
Moreno, Toby/Rose, Dann
-
Thanks again
I can get to Kolorov/ Alder/ Moreno in one move with a ? over Kolorov if rotated for WBA/ Zouma. Or could even make my 4th defender into WBA actually.
Cheers lads
-
-
Just saw smalling is flagged yellow. Are there any news how serious his injury is?
-
Not too sure, but I wouldn't sell unless he's out for like 6 weeks.
-
This
-
-
Groin problem. He'd gave cone off but they'd already used 3 subs so limped around doing not a lot
-
According to LVG "Doubtful for the weekend."
-
OOOOUCHHHH!
-
-
Well. At least his value will drop of he's out.
Makes him more affordable again
-
-
Who would you play from these defenders (please pick 3)
Cedric (CRY,A)
Clyne (WBA, H)
Smalling (i) (BOU, A)
Kolarov (SWA, H)
Monreal (AVL, A)
All look like decent fixtures
Who makes the cut this GW?-
Easy. Clyne Kol Mor. Even if Smalling fit
-
Kola Monreal Smalling
Clyne first on bench -
OK, so it's between Smalling and Clyne for the last berth. Anymore suggestions?
BTW, thx @Rhinos and @Eden Hazardous!!!!-
Clyne it is then.. THX!!!!
-
-
-
What are people's thoughts when is comes to Kane vs Lukaku captain this weekend ?
-
Lukaku seems more natural, but Kane is great if you're looking for something differen
-
Not got either so don't care but would prob do Luk
-
Luk has the early kick off.
Meh-
Really!
I always believe in a non-saturday captain.. so yeah, go Kane! -
So did Aguero when he got 4 v spurs
-
-
Lukaku/Kane look the obvious 2. One away in the early KO, one on the back of an EL game...it's another week where it's better to be lucky than good.
-
-
What to do with this lot people?
DDG-McCarthy
Bellerin-Dier-Sagna-Moreno-Francis
Sterling-Ozil-Coutinho-Mahrez-Westwood
Pelle-Kane-Lukaku
2FT and 2.4 itb
Transfer priorities are Sagna and Pelle, any suggestions?-
Keep Sagna
Pelle to Ighalo or save -
Pelle>Deeney?
Then wait on Sagna.
Lineup
DDG
Dier Moreno Bellerin
Sterling Ozil Mahrez Coutinho
Kane Deeney Lukaku -
Saga may well play though. Coutinho your problem if not fit. Pelle to giroud maybe
-
-
Butland Gomes
Toby Bellerin VvD Moreno Simpson
Coutinho Ozil Mahrez KdB Lanzini
Kane Vardy Lukaku
A Lanzini to Ramsey
B Lanzini to Alli
C Lanzini to cheap... King/ Gosling
D Lanzini to Barkley
E Lanzini to Deufelou?-
Lanzini to King. He's very influential and a lot of attacks involve him, whether provider or finisher.
-
Cheers!
-
-
-
With Sturridge out, will Kopp continue with Benteke and Firmino do we think?
Or Origi likely to get a sniff?-
When is Coutinho back?
-
They'll all be involved. Coutinho and Moreno the 2 best liv options
-
Benteke doesnt perform well as a starter. He's a supersub, nothing more. Klopp should see that Firmino would definitley start, and Origi has a decent chance of starting, although I'm hoping Firmino will get the false nine role.
Just my opinion, could go completely worng!!!!
-
-
-
Is Joel ward nailed on? Scott dann costs 0.9 more and I'm not sure it's worth it.
-
I'd say he is worth. Deadly from corners and their wingers will get plenty of them
-
-
1) Rojo > Moreno
2) Rojo > Spurs defender
3) Ighalo > Kane
I know the Ighalo transfer sounds odd as he is playing so well, but I am nervous about missing Kane's great fixtures!-
1) seems best for now. 3) for next week
-
1. Leave Ig
-
-
Check some of the fixtures post Europa game that Utd will/could play if they continue to progress in that competition
http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/10093787/manchester-united-into-europa-league-changes-to-premier-league-fixtures-
Ouch!
-
Its no different to years gone by when progressing in the CL...
-
Playing on a thursday seems to have a detrimental effect to league form
-
Yep, always ruined tottenham 🙂
-
Def has an impact. Look at Everton last season. Liverpool have dropped several points following a europa game
-
-
That's only really true for smaller squads who don't have the players to rotate. Man U are more than big enough to cope.
-
and that's for Europe generally, Weds/Sat vs Thurs/Sun really isn't that different. If anything the travel distance might affect them more as you're more likely to play in russia/kazakhstan/Israel wherever but thats less likely in the knockout stages.
EL is really just a nice excuse for many clubs that scrap for it regressing. Nobody blames spurs' CL run for coming 5th the next year or Man U's CL run under Moyes for their league position either. Similar with Chelsea when they finished 6th.
-
-
-
-
Doesn't really seem like too much disruption. I would have thought their games v Arsenal, Man City would be on the Sunday anyway.
-
They have less time to prepare, especially if Utd draw eastern european teams
-
-
-
G2G?
DDG
Moreno - Bellerin - Dier
Mahrez - Özil (C) - KDB - Barkley - Wijnaldum
Vardy - Lukaku
McCarthy - Aguero - Zouma - Targett
1 FT (haven't done any this week), 0.2 ITB-
Nothing too worrying imo for now.
-
KdB or Luk captain
-
-
Dann or ward for Christmas palace defense?
-
Ward
-
Love it when people ignore an answer then post a similar question
-
Busted!!!!!
-
-
-
Is Christmas palace defence something good?
-
Dann is fantasitc goal threst, Ward is on setpieces i think. Not too bad of a defence, defintiely something to think about.
-
-
-
If you were to drop one, who would it be.
Completely hypothetical, i know most will be like, don't becnh any of 'em. 🙂
1)Kane vs New
2) Luk vs Nor
3) Vardy vs Che-
Sophie's choice right there. If you have Mahrez playing, MAYBE Vardy.
-
thx, putting him on first bench.
-
But I wouldn't bench either of them (as you stated lol), so don't blame me if he hauls 😀
-
Wouldnt. Chill, Mahrez is enough I think
-
-
-

Yo faceless people, get yourselves a gravatar here:

Bread how are you?

Breadbin would never lower himself to using emoticons

Id ask how do get a chrimbo hat but I'm too lazy and too scrooge like
-
-
-
Best move here? 1FT 6.3m itb
Mignolet
Bellerin, Moreno,Cedric
Ozil,KDB,Barkley,Coutinho
Lukaku,Kane,Vardy
McCarthy,Drinkwater,Simpson,Rojo
1.Rojo > Alderweireld
2. Rojo + Drinkwater > Alderweireld + Mahrez/Ramsey/Silva -4
Midfield transfer would cover Coutinho if he is still a doubt.
3. OVERHAUL
Mignolet, Rojo, Cedric, Drinkwater > DDG, Alderweireld, Zouma, Mahrez -12-
1), then line up
Simon
Bell, Moreno, Toby
Ozil, KdB, Barkley, Phillipe
Lukaku, Kane Vardy-
Only take a hit if Cout is out?
-
If Phil's out, then yeah, hit.
-
Thanks
-
-
-
-
-
Any news about Smalling's injury? He continue to remain on the field, playing as attacker for the last 10min after a muscle tear.
With him, Darmian, Rojo and Jones OUT, is DDG still a CS potential?-
I've got a feeling they may pay him up front at the weekend even if he's injured. I might be wrong though.
-
Hope Pellegrini agrees
-
You can't play with a groin injury - it will just get worse. I'm surprised they kept him on yesterday if they thought that's what he has, despite the circumstances of needing to qualify.
-
-
Used all 3 subs
-
-
Something new about Aguero or Lanzini?
-
new haircut?
-
No and out for 6 weeks
-
Who is out for 6 weeks???
Looks like I missed something...
-
-
Lanzini out till Jan
-
