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.
Considering if Vardy is fit to play, who should I bench then - Wijnaldum or Willian?
That's a tough one but has to be Willian.... Just about
Thanks! Will keep in mind
Very tough. Willian for me
I would play Willian this week.
Appreciate your thoughts:
What you guys think priority here is... PJones & Westwood to Monreal & Ramsey?
Gomes Schmeichel
Cresswell Francis PJones Moreno Kolerov
KDB Ozil Wijnaldum Mahrez Westwood
Ighalo Vardy Lukaku
2FT & £7.1ITBJones not playing is it? If he is, then can keep him. Ramsey transfer can be done.
He's playing, trouble is the team not him. I NEED to start finding clean sheets and Moreno PJones both letting me down
Well Arsenal do have good fixtures so no harm getting in a defender.
Yes good transfers. Although Francis > Monreal sounds better
Anything less than 4 goals from (K)un is disapointment
Sorry to be the barer of bad news, however I'd prepare yourself for disappointment
My plan has been to bring Aguero in for this week. If he goes mental and I don't have him I'll be kicking myself just like in gw1 with Mahrez
He looked tired and off form on Monday. Plus I'd be worried about the other options who are consistently scoring more and in better form...
Vardy Ighalo Lukaku Giroud
That's asking a lot from him
Yep means he has to be handed the armband if he's owned
Double the disappointment 🙁
Not really. A goal is satisfactory meaning he will have found his scoring boots.
I'd take a goal and assist
KDB/Mahrez captain over Rambo or even Ozil??? Dont you think Soton are really crap?
Avoid to (c) Ozil this week. Might be rested. He played against Arsenal without being fully fit.
Thoughts on Ramsey over KDB?
He has the best stats of all Arsenal mids..
What a fail getting in Rose instead of Walker/Dier 2 weeks ago has proven to be 🙁 ... Even if he does get over his illness i'm worried cause Davies had a great game 🙁 ..
Rose is first choice. Might get rotated in next two but he's first choice so don't be worried
I thought that about Davies when Rose cane back from injury and didn't get in for several weeks...
All but decided to do Vardy to Kun (for free). Should I pull the trigger before the price rises?
Yes, go for it
is it a double transfer are you ie free transfer from last week
No. Just have enough cash itb.
Yes I would especially if your chasing easier to change back to hardy when or if Sergio gets injured
So any spurs fans have opion on which games walker and Kane could be rested?
Walker could be this weekend. Kane hard to say. We need him desperately. Might just get 60 b Norwich or Watford. He'll be wanting to play though.
Interesting I was thinking rotation would be more likely in the watford game for walker
In my opinion Walker would be better to play for us v Watford who are very strong attacking wise. Trippier better v Norwich.could be wrong but just my opinion
So you reckon Walker will definitely miss a game over Xmas? See below 🙂
How we looking?
Butland
Alderweireld, Bellerin, Wollscheid
KDB, Mahrez, Ozil, Ramsey
Kane, Lukaku (c), Vardy
Subs: De Gea, Barkley, Ward, Dawson
Gtg?
Double Stoke defence may up end in tears.
Could be right there, Ward instead for attacking potential?
Swansea haven't scored in 3 of their last 4. Play Dawson
Ta muchly 😀
Just got to my hotel in London after a 13 hr flight from Hong Kong and ehays2the first thing I do? Check for FPL news!
So did ranieri actually mention Vardy? The tweet seems a bit vague unless he literally means every player in the Leicester squad is fit?Nice typing there 😳
I think he might be playing some mind games. Basically he said talked about King, Drinkwater and Huth, and then claimed everybody else was okay.
Vardy wasn't seen in the training pictures though. It might be he has a late injection or he is simply rested for the upcoming fixtures. He's been carrying a few knocks and niggles so maybe he will be rested or benchedCheers mate. Think I will sell. Something I never thought I'd say but it is actually not that scary while absolutely nobody is captaining him for the forseeable future due to a combination of fixtures and mahrez.
Right better cmget a couple of hours sleep and then enjoy london!Indeed. Who will you bring in? Mr Kun?
Good stuff! What you in London for? Xmas Holiday?Yeah visiting family. 5 yr old daughter will love the real Xmas experience too
Good to hear mate! Enjoy 🙂
no direct mention of Vardy at all
Vardy > Aguero or Giroud?
Probably Aguero. I've got Giroud and am more than happy to hold over the next 3 or 4
Why sell him?
Giroud
Are there press conferences this week?
Check tweets.
Lads so I'm finally getting rid of VVD this week and bringing in a Spurs defender.
Originally I thought Walker since he is the cheapest and has decent attacking threat but do we think he will get rotated over Xmas?
Should I just play it safe and get Toby?Play safe get Toby or Dier
Toby best Spurs option atm
Toby best pick
I'd be worried about Spurs 3 fixtures after Norwich , look elsewhere
wat
eve
LEIAll three of these teams scoring for fun.
Hmm, what other defence do you suggest that isn't Chelsea, Leicester, Arsenal or Liverpool?
West Brom, Palace or Stoke?!
West Brom been conceding for fun lately. None of their defenders like BAPS either.
I have Hennessey and Butland in goal so wouldn't fancy a double up personallyCresswell??
Hmm good shout. Might dig around for some of his attacking stats
Toby a lot more attacking threat but more expensive so depends if you think you'll need cash. Are you likely to go for aguero?
Possibly, depending on Kane's form/Giroud's minutes.
Toby/Dier
Ta!
Reading those numbers Rooney wasn't the worst punt. Sigh
Sadly this season does not seem conducive to punts
Really need to bring Aguero in this gameweek cause I have no city attacks . Have a strikeforce of Kane,Vardy,Lukaku and 7.8 ITB . Who should I remove? Currently thinking Kane to Aguero.
Kane at home to Norwich, just leave, kun only gonna get an hour and City in poor form
I'm getting Kun but more in desperation than hope but I wouldn't do it for kane
Choose KDB or Sterling imo
This
Sterling for a differential, KDB as a safe option
What are all your cup opponents like?
Mine seemingly seemed a dead team having not made a transfer since GW12 and having 5 injured players in his lineup last week. But he's made two changes this week
Completely forgot about it - thanks, will go look
Tge cup is as random as it gets. Don't waste your time thinking bout it
Mine was a dead team for most of the season, then decided to use the WC last week to get a decent squad - http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1720590/event-history/17/
If Hazard is fit, which is better?
A- Play Hazard
B- Hazard > KDBWould still chose KDB atm
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/public-stats-tables/view/6810/
The team at the bottom 😯Yeah teams v clinical vs that team who play in red 😉 They havent actually let in that many chances but then making errors at vital times. Similar to Southampton.
Indeed. Kind of puts me off a certain captaincy option this weekend...
Contrary to what a lot of people think, I reckon it's more fun when Kun and Sanchez are firing because then you have to be a lot more creative with the rest of your team.
I actually think it would shake things up a bit.
agree
Start YYT or Ighalo?
|Chelsea fan here and I find it difficult to see how Ighalo will score @ the bridge
Ighalo imo. YYT got going only after his goal.
Both
team is
Ozil Mahrez KDB YYT Rambo
Ighalo Luks Vardy
Ighalo
Both
Morning lads. Like most VVD owners it's time to get rid. Current options are in the following order
A- Dier. Looks nailed on
B- Walker. Generally nailed on but may get a rest over Xmas
C- Dawson. Always like a bit of Pulis plus he likes to attack
D- Outside pick for attacking threatC
C or Ivanovic
I'm thinking Cresswell possibly!
B from that lot thoughGood call
Quite surprised by the 2 responses. Just noticed that Dawson hasn't received any baps this season. 6CS and 2goals but 0 bps
Yup. Would prefer a Spurs defender anyway.
But Cresswell really interests me, only worrying thing is this:
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/public-stats-tables/view/6810/
Vardy - holding or selling?
Already sold.
who for?
Second letter is "g", last letter is "o". 🙂
🙂
Ighalo, nice.
Has to be Ighalo. Only a fool would bring Aguero in and I don't consider you be that.
Sorry it took a while but I did answer last page a few minutes ago. Thanks for not thinking me a fool! 🙂
Sold.
Who was your replacement?
The Cinema
The Cinema=Hollywood=Big star=Agüero! 🙂
Ha, no.
Odion.Haha. Of couse!
Tough one. Many got him cheap so big loss to TV if you sell him and then want him back
sold for Ighalo
If I get Aguero I need to make up some cash. Who to sell, Vardy and...
VvD to Smith (4.0)
KdB to Ramsey
Coutinho to Ramsey and VvD to Ward -4
Leave Aguero
If you really wanna do it i would go for the -4, all 3 of these transfers sound good, getting in Smith(whoever he is :P) or getting rid of KDB is not something i would do.
Cheers, Jimmy
Myhill
Bellerin, Moreno, Ward
Silva, KDB, Ozil, Mahrez
Kane, Lukaku, Vardy
McCarthy, Coleman , Hoolahan, Dawson
2FTs and £3.1m in the bank...
I'm slowly slipping down the rankings, any tips here guys?Dawson/ Moreno swap. Use FT to replace McCarthy. Nothing much can be done with other players
Kun in?
Won't advice atm. Team looks fine
Good team. I would play Coleman ahead of Moreno. Foxes usually run riot away from home, and Pool will definitely concede. I am going with Mahrez (C) again.
PS. Skrtel is gone for at least 6 weeks, so no trust in Pools defense at all.True! I bought both Coleman and Moreno for their fixtures and have had 0 returns on them..
I'm tempted to get Kun in with my two FTsI feel your Moreno pain, as I also have him, and so far he brought me only one good haul of 9, the rest is crap. But I have another priority - to get rid of VVD, just wonder whether to get West Ham or Palace defender with my second FT (first went for Rambo).
As for Kun, don't do it now, give him some time.A huge Kun fan here, but I did that mistake prior to his previous "return" and he returned a massive 2 points haul against the Saints at Etihad, and above got crocked again....
Go with West Ham defender, probably Cresswell?
Bonkers has spoken
http://www.triggerlips.comAqua will copy u
If there are any other Hazard owners left, Hiddink to speak at 12:30. Fingers crossed!
Glad I already got rid, wouldn't want to leave myself open to something like, 'he's improving and has a chance'
Don't scare me 🙁
Two things wanted to shake things up against the template are
Kun score a penalty from Silva got fouled and Vardy blank,YCed
Vardy going mental against Liverpool is imminent with all these sellers right?
Yep. Yesterday it was just me. Now there are three on this page, so he'll explode. 😕
have looked for getting Kun in for this GW for som time but didnt count on Ighalo and Lukaku both would be in this scoring form.

probably not
