Another rubbish week for me, falling out of the top 500k. Quite a fall from last year.
Is it too late to bring in Ozil? And what do I do with this team?
Bank 4.5m, 2FT
DDG
Kolarov, Bellerin, Moreno
KDB(c), Mahrez, Barkley, Bolasie
Lukaku, Kane(v), Giroud
Hennessey, VVD, Simpson, Surman
Best I can come up with is one of these, but I've not gotten many right so far!
A) Giroud -> Aguero(c)
B) Bolasie -> Ozil/Wally/Silva
C) VVD -> Aldy (bench Moreno)
D) Surman -> Alli (bench Bolasie)
E) VVD & Giroud -> Aldy & Aguero(c)
Tbh if i were you i would be looking at moreno. your team is quite strong anyways
o wait get in ozil for bolasie didnt see
B
Never too late. Not having Ozil will only make you fall further behind.
Yeah it feels that way. Tried to be clever and look for a differential route to make up ground but Ozil just keeps on delivering. Thinking it can perhaps wait a week though. Perhaps A this week and then bring in Ozil & Ramsey the week after?
Bolasie > Walcott could be a differential
My defence is holding me back, who should I get in? I've got 2 FT up my sleeve
Defence is: Bellerin, Zouma, Sagna, Moreno
Sagna for Spurs defender? Palace defender?
Other than Toby, which Spurs defenders are nailed?
Rose
He hasn't given many returns, but he's always looked lively creating chances.Walker not nailed?
Walker too, but he's 1 YC away from suspension
Ah, thanks for the heads up. Wasn't up to date on that
Anytime 🙂
Moreno is the weak link there imo. Bring in a Watford or Palace defender?
Cheers for the reply, any suggestions on which particular players?
Ake, Nyom from Watford and Ward from Palace is who I would look at
Cheers mate. Appreciate your help
🙂
need some help lads
Is it worth holding VVD-> Walker till GW 22.
Spurs next fixtures are [NOR wat eve LEI],
while Saints have [ARS whm nor WAT]
Personally i think spurs will only get 1 CS againt NOR, while saints have good oppurtunities at whm, nor and potentially watford if ighalo fades off. The saints defence surely cant get any worse and im sure its worked on in the training ground. Plus VVD goal threat of course :). What do you lads think?
Good mornings. Who would you bench:
Mahrez Ozil KDB Ramsey Barkley
Lukaku Kane Ighalo.barkels
agree. process of elimination
this
Barkley
Same team. Who are you captaining bro?
Mahrez all the way 😉
Who do I replace Darmian with? Looking for someone cheap! Wolly my best option?
My defense is currently
DDG Myhill
Kolorov Alderweireld Evans Ivanovic Darmian
So Kane -> Aguero. What's the consensus? Wait for more news?
I realize it could be 60 mins of Kun vs 90 mins of Kane, but I'm chasing in my mini league so need to take some risks.
Think I'm going to do it
Same here probably. The way this season's gone, I can see Aguero bench cameo and Kane hatrick.
@Balders - Just read Doolittle's piece on Wenger. It's great stuff. With every passing season my respect for him increases. I hope the Premier League is graced with more managers like him that can build a legacy and bring a principled and beautiful approach to the game. It's great to have Pochettino and now Klopp in the league. The likes of Mourinho, Guardiola and LVG can do one for all I care 🙂
What I disagree with in the article is the idea that Wenger is naive or too romantic. He sticks to his guns and does spend the money when he feels he needs to. Look at Ozil and Sanchez in recent years for example. Getting Cech in this season was a masterstroke that is being seriously underestimated because he didn't buy an outfield player. With the striker situation he feels he is covered with Giroud, Walcott and Welbeck (another shrewd piece of business, imo). In any case, who is available that will be an upgrade on those? I'll give you that a DM was needed and Schneiderlin would have been perfect. But even then, just look at the talk on here about Coquelin being crucial to Arsenal's clean sheets. Wenger clearly knows his players better than the rest of usWhat's wrong with Guardiola?
If anything, he's the pioneer of the beautiful approach to the game.
Certainly not the pioneer but his teams are good to watch I'll give you that. For me he has yet to build a legacy, really take a club forward like Wenger has done at Arsenal, Fergie did at United, Klopp did with Dortmund.
Also, at Barcelona he inherited an exceptional pool of players. True, he made their play more attractive but I'm sure even Harry Redknapp couldn't fail to get Messi, Iniesta, Xavi et al playing like kings.
At Bayern he took over treble winners. What did he really add to them?
This. He is like a teenager playing football manager and picking the best team. He still needs to prove himself to an extent. Taking over any English team and making them dominant would be one way
I think you're underestimating what he did at Barca slightly. Yes it was good timing to come in at the same time Messi started to blossom, but he took a team that had just come 3rd on 67 points and a +33 goal difference to winning the next 3 La Liga's scoring 87, 99 & 96 points with goal differences of +70, +74 & +74 and also winning the Champions League twice in those 3 years.
Possibly but you may also be underestimating the impact having world class players can have. Liverpool, an otherwise OK team with a hopeless manager almost won the Premier League because of one Luis Suarez. Barcelona boasted a number of world class players and have one of the best scouting/academy structures in the game. Can Guardiola bring a club forward on limited resources? The Jury's still out for me on him tbh.
Maybe but It was also a side that had Sturridge fit and Sterling playing out of his skin. I'm giving Guardiola the benefit of the doubt here as he also won Barcelona B promotion from tier 3 to tier 2 in his first year of coaching and because he does really push the envelope tactically whether or not it actually has that much affect I like to think it does.
Do you have a link Pochecinno? Cheers.
Cheers!
🙂
Well that's the thing, fan opinion yoyos wildly between "In Wenger We Trust" and "WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING?" My general impression is the squad is always a man or two short because he wants to trust fading stars on perma-injuries to come good. Knowing Welbeck was out til Christmas, we didn't necessarily need to upgrade Giroud but at least get another plodder to knock in goals. I'd have hugely welcomed spending £12/15m to put Charlie Austin on our bench this year. Similarly I'm not sold of Flamteta and again would have loved to see another player come in to sit on the bench. Cech was indeed an excellent buy and I think most of us knew it was a massive coup when it happened but that doesn't excuse squad shortcomings elsewhere for me. At the end of the day I've got all the time in the world for Wenger for his style and his conviction but that won't stop me pulling my hair out several times a season!I agree, like most, that you are one or two players short. But Wenger is looking to make sure that extra player is the perfect one. Would Benzema really have added to what Giroud is already giving you this season? Probably not. Wenger is looking for an upgrade - he bought Sanchez and Ozil and wanted Suarez remember? He would've been the perfect forward particularly for Arsenal's style of play.
As for Arsenal fans, you should watch this every so often to remind yourself of how ridiculous your fans are 🙂We bought Ozil because Liverpool said no on Suarez I think, I doubt we'd have bought both in the same window tbh or if we had, we wouldn't have got Sanchez the following year. God listen to my Arsenal transfer pessimism 😛
Looking for the perfect solution is why I have so much time for him, but would it really have killed us to get Austin and put him on the bench as insurance? When our attacking options off the bench against Man City reads
03 Gibbs
15 Oxlade-Chamberlain
45 Iwobi
54 Reine Adelaide
I'm not really inspired with confidence.
Help me Iwobi you are my only hope
😀 sounds a bit desperate doesnt it?
At least you have Welbeck on your books. We have no forward cover for Kane, despite what FPL think (Son, Njie) 😛
Also notice in THAT 13/14 season how we were leading the league until Ozil and Walcott got injured and beyond that our team just looked a shadow of its former self.
Ozil: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mesut-ozil/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/35664/saison/2013/wettbewerb/GB1/verein/11
Walcott: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/theo-walcott/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/33713/saison/2013/wettbewerb/GB1/verein/11Also Wilshere who looks to have had a better season than I give him credit for:
http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-wilshere/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/74223/saison/2013/wettbewerb/GB1/verein/11What exactly is N'Jie's role btw?
Have no idea if I'm totally honest. I think he's a winger of sorts but hasn't played for us much and has now picked up a serious injury
haha okay good luck in the January transfer market!
Here's the link 🙂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gSFEaI4HdAtbf at that point we still hadn't signed anyone apart from Sanogo with two weeks to go in the window but yes there are the over-reactionary fans at every club nowadays.
Hang fire for now
For GZ
are norwhich better defensivey now or is uniteds attack just that non existent?
The latter.
Yes to both
spurs to penetrate then?
Well yes I would think so. They may have improved but only relative to how bad they were. They are still expected to concede a lot if chances away from home
great thanks for that mate.
Which 3 def to play with Butland (MUN)?
A) Wollshied (MUN)
B) Smalling (sto)
C) Moreno (LEI)
D) Toby (NOR)
E) Bellerin (sot)
Replies appreciated, Thanks! 😀B
D
Ewith utd being so poor in attack with lvg, double up on stoke?
2FT. 6.0m in bank. Defence needs fixing right?
A - VVD to Toby
B - Azp to Ivan (sideways but more attacking - hopefully Chelsea have turned the corner)
C - Both
D - Anything else
Butland McCarthy
Kolarov VVD Azp Moreno Huth
Ozil KDB Mahrez Barkley Gosling
Lukaku Vardy KaneI think A personally
Cheers. Defo the first one to go with. Debating whether it's worth using another FT
I wouldn't. Just sort out VvD
would you do kdb for ramsey?
Not at all.
Surely that's not your only option?Barkley / oil / mahrez / stanislas / kdb is my mid right now
Get rid of Barkley for Ramsey
my hesitation is that barkley is producing more points at the moment
Feel like Ramsey will get more. Wouldn't get rid of KDB he looked threatening last night.
Wouldn't have expected to ask this, but start Lloris at home to Norwich or Butland at home to ManU?
In the last 3 weeks I got it wrong and benched 27 gk pointsLloris - both will get a CS imo but Lloris to make more saves 😛
Ha that really is a damning verdict for Manchester United!
1- Still do not own Ozil
2- None of my players attack means and are differential with less than 10% property.
For those who find Themselves in the same situation, it is more feasible to have Ramsey instead of Ozil?
* I will buy one of the two in place of Sanchez. I bet on a quick lap which unfortunately did not happenGet Ozil. Not having any of the Lukaku, Vardy, Ighalo, Kane means you will only keep going down when they score due to massive ownership
My attack is Vardy, Ighalo and Kane. This is leaving Ramsey tempting.
Sorry got your point wrong about differentials then
Ramsey or Walcott
Repost:
1- Still do not own Ozil
2- None of my players attack and midfielder are differential with less than 10% property.
For those who find Themselves in the same situation, it is more feasible to have Ramsey instead of Ozil?
* I will buy one of the two in place of Sanchez in #GW18. I bet on a quick lap which unfortunately did not happenI'm in thailand. Doing a lot of drinking but also taking in the sights and historical landmarks. Will be hitting vietnam, Cambodia and Laos in the new year.
Any suggestions of cool things to see and do?All the touristy stuff.
Make sure you try plenty of the local food! Asian food as a whole is amazing!Go to Route 66 in Bangkok and try one of the islands of Thailand if you can
This. And some great regular bars too.
What's the best food you had over there? I've only been here 4 days so am still somewhat of a rookie to the street food
Pho in Vietnam is delicious. Goi Cuon also amazing.
Thai street food is great. Definitely get yourself some curry, Tom Yum and Pad Thai
I would suggest getting to some of the outlying islands. Phi phi and samet are two favourites of mine but samui is good if you want a bit more upmarket.
The main thing is... Food! Go to the restaurants full of Thai people. Authentic Thai food is amazing. If you like jungle/ elephants etc check out the north. Chiang Mai is great for a few daysGet a copy of lonely planet. It was my bible when I did 7 weeks in Thailand and the advice is good IMO. This was 2006 though!!
I've got a copy! Real steep learning curve with avoiding scams and bartering etc. Best food you had over there? ?
My favourite food is north eastern food and a spicy mince stuffed omelette called kai yat sai. Hunt it down!
2 words...ping pong
Lol. Already been!!
Ps: if anyone is wondering why I'm on FFS while on holiday in thailand, I'm in a hospital lobby waiting for my mate to get a haemeroid treated. Rough as guts over here! Lol
thanks for the update
After a differential in defence. Zouma nailed? Appreciate any and all responses
Ivanovic
Think Ivanovic safest option. Cahill may come back for a few games. Terry gave an improved performance. Think his performance will be most improved after Mou's departure.
Could use some advise with a few things to do with defenders...
1. What do we think of United now? Was contemplating koscielny > Smalling now not so sure?
2.Ok to double up on spurs defence? Moreno > Dier is my other option, already have toby. I have Ward and Simpson so can rotate when spurs have a tougher fixture.
Butland Hennessey
Toby Koscielny Moreno Ward SimpsonDefense looks good. No need to tinker.
Sure about Moreno? Liverpool looking very average of late.
He's still created the most chances. It's just a matter of time before someone finishes them.
Ok, I think I should be ok so save my transfer this week then 🙂
Ward is a good back up. Play him for a couple of GWs. Pool will eventually be ok and Moreno is a great attacking threat too.
Yep sounds good, will probably save my transfer then this week. Thanks for the advise 🙂
Kane and Ayew to Kun and Alli (-4)?
I have enough cash to do any independent transfer but thinking Alli will give me Spurs attacking coverage vacated by Kane.myhill or hennesey this week?
I'm going Myhill for the next 3
yes their fixtures are why i kept the double up with dawson through all their bad run, but they dissapointed last week, that could be however due to Bournemouths no found attacking skills more so than broms weakness in defence?
I think so, Bournemouth are looking hot at the moment.
not sure what to do about the ighalo situation.. havent owned him all season and he is killing my rank. do i bring him now or wait a few more weeks?
Same situation, my front 3 is Lukaku, kane, Aguero.
Would only consider Kane > Ighalo but then Spurs play Norwich next. Also Ighalo has tough ffixtures.
Maybe wait a week and see how watford so against new Chelsea?yes got the same front 3, thats what im thinking too
No point getting rid of Aguero now, Lukaku is in fantastic form so the only option would be kane>Ighalo.
Give it a week, if Ighalo scores against Chelsea and Kane blanks then make the switch 🙂 I probably will be doing that, will also free up some cash
No room at the inn
Butland and Hennessey owners - who you playing this week?
Butland.
Palace play Bournemouth right?Yeah
Palace are pretty tight away but would back Bournemouth to score considering the run they are on right now
Butland imo. ManU scoring away to Stoke seems little tough. On the flip side, should not expect save or bonus points from him either
How long do I keep Willian till? After Watford game? They face Man U and Palace away after that.
I'd try to get rid.
Thanks. He will very likely have 0.1 price rise before/ after Watford game, which will have given me 0.1 profit.
I would recommend to keep him, should Chelsea's performances improve with change in manager, Willian will be a vital part of it, as was evident last week
Thanks. Would be good as a differential (for now at least before people start having him).

The Williams owners could always bench him. Crack the 100 at only move from 77 to 24K is a bit rough.
I miss the bunga bunga parties.
Thats what I'm talking about
kane+deulofeu > aguero+alli?
or
vardy+deulofeu > aguero+alli?Option B most likely
Damn missed safety score by 2 points . Great competition TM and kudos for the work.
Cheers, think you also missed out on FPL Cup too 🙁
Pathetic week after pathetic week for me
got 89 with LLoris on the bench.. still happy!! wooo!
how was everyone's gw?
My Dad got 100 points. Got to love the casuals lol
b bro...
