Our first members piece of the week delves into the data from Gameweek 17. Everton and Leicester’s frontmen arrive under our analytical eye, as do United and Southampton’s toils up top, whilst we also turn to midfield and set our sights on Chelsea, Stoke and Villa.
A) Save FT
B) Browing -> Playing DEF? Kolarov is a potential red flag in defence, Vardy might not play too (Bolasie in). Rest are playing.
C) Schwarzer -> Playing GK? Butland is only GK
i have schwarzer as well haha i was blinded by picking an aussie who was cheap as i didnt think i needed 2 keepers. i think butland will play every week so you may not need a backup.
you could probably afford to save it and do browning -> someone next week if theres rotations in your defence.
Repost:
Tempted to bring in Alli but for who?
KDB - Ramsey - Ozil - Mahrez - Drinkwater
Ighalo - Lukaku - Vardy
Logic would mean bringing him in for drinkwater, but not sure who I would bench
see last page
cheers, Im torn about getting him in but maybe saving a ft is the right idea
It is a tough one. If Vardy doesn't play you would regret not making that transfer imo. And if he does vice versa
maybe a vvd to toby move is better,
Maybe but I haven't sen your defence. If you can put together 3 decent ones I would concentrate on the rest of your side.
I have the exact same mid...with alli. Im thinking about benching Mahrez and playing alli. Too crazy?
I wouldnt dare!
I was burned twice ...maybe he will finally blank against Klopp
3 years ago, still funny 😀

My current team
Butland (Hen)
Metersacker Kolarov Moreno Nyom Wollchield
Ozil Mahrez KDB Coutinho Delefou
Vardy Ighalo Lukaku
2FT 6.9 in bank
have 3 options in my mind
1) Ighalo-> Kun, Kolarov-> Sagna
2) Ighalo-> Kun, Coutinho->Willian or Oscar
3) Ighalo-> Kun, KDB->Yaya
Need some help to figure out this thing
or any suggestion will be highly appreciate
Thxs Mate!!!!!
Wouldn't get rid of ighalo yet. Playing well and no signs of slowing down yet
i have him in my team for like 10 weeks already but look at next 3 fixtures is quite heavy for WAT??
Is it a time to say goodbye to Ighalo???
Not if you have him
This is my front-line
Kane - Vardy - Ighalo
Any changes required?It is difficult. There are 5 logical forward options and I am at a loss to which 3 are the best
Luka and Kun being the other 2? What about Gru?
I forgot Gru. You are right 6 logical options
This is why I want to drop Jamie.....6 viable options and Vardy's stats have massively regressed...His ownership % is holding me back...
I get it. There are pro's and cons to the other options as well though.
I am just not sureTrue that...I will decide on Saturday
I have the same question like you
my current front
Lukaku - Vady - Ighalo
Lukaku with 7 consecutive game goals must be weighing on your mind? I think Kane and Ighalo (price) are season keepers now, it's whether you have the bottle to remove Vardy or not.
I think it is a Saturday morning decision to be made
It will make things interesting if Vardy gets injured for a couple of games, people who worry about team value will be holding on for dear life 🙂
No such things as season keepers though. And Kane is definitely not one.
Got rid of Moreno for Dier (before price rise). Taking a risk with double spurs d but with clean sheets hard to come by spurs are as good as any other.
Next gw will look at either kane>ighalo or kos>smalling/ivan depending how things go.
Butland
Dier Alderweireld Koscielny
Mahrez(c) Barkley Ramsey Ozil
Lukaku Kane Aguero
Hennessey Ward King Simpson
Is Ozil, Giroud & Ram too much Arsenal? I have the first 2 and want more!
on their current form you'd be scoring well!
New Eve score prediction?
Well I will be getting drunk
Good for you!
Well it is New years Eve
On 26th?
You said New Eve. Oh just forget it the joke was tenuous at best.
oh hahaha my bad, slow today
lol times 2, i enjoyed it 🙂
2-2
Wijnaldum brace? Perfect!
That's certainly possible!
I hope not, I just got rid of him for Bolasie.
Meh...1-1
Ah, the sanity of the DZ, where you get sensible answers, I've been waiting to speak to you 😉
I have a decision to make and am struggling, I have Sterling on the bench and feel that he should be in at home to Sunderland but it means dropping one of these 7....
A, Mahrez
B, Barkley
C, Özil
D, Willian
E, Giroud
F, Ighalo
G, Lukaku
H, just leave Sterling benched??Wibble
or Will.I.An
Bench Willy
D
Willian or ighalo
I was planning on benching Barkley, it seems overwhelming on Willian though! Would you captain Sterling or is he still a stating risk?
Don't captain , don't bench
this.
and i'd bench D
1 person in a 100 would CPt Sterling
Cool, cheers guys. I will hunt each one of you down if Willian gets a brace 😉
Have a great Christmas all.
Any potential double Gameweek identified???
None yet, but there was a post 2-3 weeks back regarding it.
That grav is trippy!
Lmao Rooney leading talks , I know he is the the most decorated player at united currently but its funny
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3371085/Manchester-United-held-crisis-talks-Norwich-defeat-Louis-van-Gaal-asked-change-methods-senior-stars.html
Herrera and mata leading revolt xD we got Chelsea situation here with creative players revolting.Nobody revolted at Chelsea 😕
With these talks it looks like he won't be sacked right now.
It'd be funny if he wasn't the captain of the national team 😳
All I read from that is Spurs have most shots on target at home since 24 October, so why has Kane not filled his boots more?
It's getting serious. Not sure LVG will last much longer. Mourinho the best manager available. Doubt Giggs will take charge till the end of the season before guardiola becomes available
Hi all
I have 2 ft and 4.4 itb
My team is
Myhill - ruddy
Francis - smalling - moreno - Alderwereld - van dijk
Westwood - coutinho - mahrez - bolasie - Kdb
Vardy - Lukaku- kane.
Where do I need improving. ? Ozil on fire but for who? ThanksCoutinho to Ozil
VVD to KoscilnyThanks
Coutinho or westwood (If not enuf money, u may bring Walcott in instead of Ozil. He score quite often)
Walcott might be rotated. Ozil is on fire
I do agree with you mate. BTW Ozil is first priority
Thanks
Özil for Coutinho or Bolasie
Just so hard to do but thanks
Five days to use WC. And all hanging on a Vardy injury update.
Lol this ☝️
Well it isn't really, you're still going to use it whether he's injured or not?
Who would you bench? Currently benching Barkley...
Ozil Mahrez KDB Alli (Barkley)
Lukaku Ighalo VardyAli
Alli
Those Vardy numbers!
ikr...Ighalo is so much better
This kun conundrum is really playing with my head. So tempted to get him in for a hit
Me too. Just have terrible premonition that Vardy recovers and scores, while City fail again.
And I keep getting visions of him scoring 4.....42 points gone
I have to WC and get him in. If it fails, oh well. It's the logical move.
At home against Sunderland?
Kun (c) 😎
What are people's thoughts on Mane? Keep or sell?
Sold last week after having him since Gw1
Hope it doesn't burn you. Want to sell but think he is due a big haul
I got his hauls. Southampton look lost atm
True.
Missed the price drop this week, may hold for couple more or until next drop
Sell
Will there be pressers?
I've asked this 3 times over the past couple of days. Seems like no one knows because it's holiday season
Are you checking the Scout tweets? There were already pressers yesterday.
Butland
Bellerin Rose Zouma
Silva Ozil Ramsey Mahrez(vc)
Aguero(c) Kane Lukaku
Hennessey Stanislas Moreno Ake
1FT 0.2ITB
How am I looking guys?
Looks good if Aguero turns up.
Cheers TM.
Yes the big 'IF'. I might cop out by Saturday and just captain Mahrez again
Strong. Good bench. You think Chelsea can keep Watford out?
Cheers.
I don't really have a choice. No way are Liverpool keeping Leicester and Ake can't play against Chelsea. Though a much improved Chelsea at home would expect to keep a clean sheet against WatfordThey've beaten 3 of the bottom 5, at home. Second half they still look awful. I've got a bad feeling about benching Ighalo or playing a Chelsea defender.
I wouldn't bench Ighalo
mahrez or lukaku for C? Haven't captained mahrez all season out of stubbornness (stupidness), worried that as soon I will he will blank. He won't be getting penalties at the Klopp.
Captaining Mahrez isn't about penalties, it's about him currently being the best player in the league
I've gone with Lukaku again. His stats are consistently high
Also haven't captained Mahrez. Had it on Lukaku but changed to Mahrez earlier. Fully expecting him to blank now that I finally give him the armband.
Butland (McCarthy)
Alderweireld / Sagna / Bellerin (Johnson, Francis)
Ayew / KDB (c) / Alli / Ozil (Barkley)
Lukaku / Kane (v) / Giroud
Who should i play between Ayew, Allli and Barkley??
Ty in advance.I'd pick Barkley. I can see quite an open game between two teams with dodgy defences. Ayew, Swansea struggling to score. Alli, Norwich have been much improved lately.
I'd bench Alli out of the three.
Is Stanislas nailed on?
Pugh lurks.
Stanislas has been great since coming into the team, though. I think only an injury will keep him out
Oh, I don't see him being dropped while he is fit and on form, but Pugh was in that spot before he was injured so there is a potential alternative waiting in (on) the wings if he slips.
Well, we can say the same with any player that has cover then 🙂
I think I get Diva's point. Pugh is just a bit more than cover. Eddie played him over Stan for all season before he got injured. Te tolerance with Stan might not be too high if he slips, that's what Diva means I think.
Basically yes, plus Stan's fitness had a minor question mark over it this past week.
Not every player had a hamstring niggle in their last game.
I'm trying very hard to ignore that minor details. He's in my team 😳
Did Pugh get injured and then Stan got his chance?
Either way, Alli is the 5th mid I have been eyeing. Just that I wouldn't hve funds to directly do Kane to Kun anymoreGosling?
He is very decent and fits in like a glove into the team.
I have not followed him a lot though, 2 goals and 2 assists only. Going to check the stats now.
I just think this is a very good time for people to play AoA. Clean sheets have been rare these past few weeks and Bournemouth really are doing good right now.
The dilemma of picking a strong front 8. I really don't want to bench any of them, hoping one of them gets a rest.
Who would you bench and why? Thanks.
KDB Ozil Ramsey Mahrez Barkley
Kane Lukaku IghaloWow, that's tough.
If you want play safe without worrying about anyone, it has to be Ramsey on the bench. Not owned highly.
If you want points potential. I'd say Ighalo/Barkley. Would choose Barkley.
Ighalo will blank IMO
Probably Barkley. He's the weakest out of the lot.
Barkley. Don't really rate him, I'm with the camp that think he's been lucky with his returns. Deulofeu has been more involved in Everton attacks. The others in your squad, apart from KDB, are unbenchable atm.
Ighalo. Chelsea's players are turning it on now Mourinho is gone. I can see a clean sheet
Up the page a bit, can't see it with Chelsea. I think he'll do well and Chelsea will concede.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/12190308I hear you. I guess it's easy to look a top side when the opposition is mud. Chelsea are a top side though and the manager player friction is gone now
Why do you think they look so jaded as the game goes on? Something in the fatigue thing, or a motivation thing?
Fatigue maybe but the match was already won really
Thanks all.
I guess it's between Ighalo and Barkley, and Barkley looks like the fall guy here. Something tells me that's a bad idea too, but whatever I do could go wrong.Barkley has a knack of popping up with a haul at random and blanking at other times. Never easy to judge
Morning dzzz, just watch the watford pool highlights...wish I could find space for igloo. Anyhow, thoughts on the team below? Have 1ft and 0.3m
lloris --- henessey
moreno janmaat dawson --- souare simpson
hazard yaya ozil mahrez --- mane
vardy kaku kane
- mane can come it vardy isnt fit (dont want to sell vardy for 1 game)
- not sure which two to start between moreno (LEI), janmaat (EVE) and souare (bou)
A: janmaat >> 5.2m def (dier..dbl up on spurs def? but their next 3 fix after NOR are tough)
B: hazard (if injured) >> kdb/ramsey
C: mane >> alli (to free up funds to upgrade def)
D: save FT
leaning on D at the momentI'd start Souare.
B is Hazard is out. If not D.Yeah thinking on the same lines.
Other option would be hazard + vardy >> alli + kun (cpt) (-4)
Best animal on FFS?
I'm quite fond of the camel that posts here.
Loads of dogs
We do have a lot of dogs
The Puppy
Rupert the horse.
The chicken in the egg.
Very clever
Morning DZ!
Thoughts on this team?

2 FTs 5.6 ITB
A) Coutinho -> Silva
B) Coutinho -> Ramsey
C) Giroud + Coutinho -> Aguero + Ramsey
D) Bolasie + Coutinho -> Silva + RamseyD.
Koscielny or Bellerin?
Kos
Bellerin.
Bit different, but how would this look for the holidays....
Butland
Pieters. Alderweireld. Bellerin
Mahrez. Ozil. Sanchez. Silva. Barkley
Aguero. Lukaku
McCarthy. Watmore. Moreno. OlssenSanchez out till the second week of January.
Oh wow. Thought he was almost ready to go. Currently he is Hazard. Perhaps Rams better idea then
I expected him to start against City. But then Wenger said around January 10th(scout tweets).
Wenger on Sanchez return - "I think he will be back January 10. Christmas period - you can’t count him."
Ramsey most nailed on. Walcott will get fair few minutes.Haven't been around much. Loads of work
Cheers
