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.
Hearing different things..
Do we expect Aguero to rise tonight?
It could be close but Christmas morning looks most likely at present.
What kind of fool would bring Aguero in when all the cheap strikers are firing atm 😀
Madness if you ask me
Desperate measures to jump rankings
Yep. I believe it's a trap.
not exactly desperate measures - bringing in a proven explosive performer (albeit not fully fit yet) against a team that is very poor away from home.
But he is such a differential at present that he could help a jump - or a fall in the rankings!Getting Kun at a time when City have to play lot of matches back to back during festive season (including cup game) seems more than a desperate hit rather than an option for more games. Sure he may score against Sunderland but what after that. Iheanacho & Bony will also be given game time. Not sure if worth sacrificing Ighalo or Vardy for this
yeah they may get gametime, but many players could get rested during this period. Pellegrini said that Aguero needs gametime right now
Think at this point owning KDB up front is sufficient but it's just my opinion.
and they can't afford any slip ups no more. Kun starts every pl game when fit.
Hear hear, I concur
Any scheduled pressers before Boxing Day?
Last page. 🙂
well well,I've got Saudi Doosra as an opponent in this year's FPL cup:
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/3185485/event-history/17/He's got one of the worst teams I've ever seen.
Falcao?!?!
So from what stats tables are telling me, with Payet out Zarate and Lanzini have been on corners for West Ham?
Can someone confirm that Cresswell doesn't have a sniff at any set pieces?
Cresswell was taking corners on Sunday i'm sure?
Not according to the members area 🙁
Everyone likes a benching headache don't they?
How about this one:
Coutinho Mahrez Ozil Ramsey KDB
Kane Lukaku IghaloCoutinho then Kane
I'll suggest Coutinho.
Coutinho
Good stuff.
Cheers guys!
Ighalo
With 2FTs, what would you do?
Gomes Schmeichel
Cresswell Francis PJones Moreno Kolerov
KDB Ozil Wijnaldum Mahrez Westwood
Ighalo Vardy Lukaku
2FT & £7.1ITB
Change Jones to an arsenal defender
Yeah was watching Monreal
Westwood>Coutinho/Eriksen
PJones>ZoumaIvanovic maybe, though Arsenal a better option imo
Ivanovic is good shout too, mate 🙂 I'm afraid Wenger is gonna rotate Monreal/Bellerin the week after with Gibbs/Debuchy so I'm not that confident on Ars defs atm 😉
Cheers buddy!
Coutinho owners,are you giving him another chance?
Only till the next week (SUN)!
Was thinking similar, just hard to choose between them
He's going to sit on my bench like a naughty boy until he behaves.
a chance from the bench
Bonkers has Aguero 2nd in his captain list. That seals it for me then.
Him or Riyad for me...
Norwich has been pretty tight at back recently and rumors Kane getting rested has put me off captaining him.
Despite Liverpool recent form and Mahrez scoring 6 goals in last three games I just don't feel confortable captaining him away at Anfield.
I'm expecting city to bounce back just like they did after that Stoke defeat
Guys, i need help with my team selection
Butland
Kolarov, Bellerin, Dier,
Ozil, KDB, Mahrez, Deulofeu
Giroud, Vardy, Lukaku
Myhill, Richards, Wijnaldum, Williams.
Any advice (esp on captaining) will help
CheersPlay Wij bench Deulofeu, captain KDB imo
Who do you think deserves -4 and Vardy?
a) Kane
b) Giroud
c) Aguero
Having Alli, Ozil, and Sagna from each team!Aguero obviously. His football is over..
What?
Kun is dead for me, sry :/
I don't get it too! 😀
I'm just saying that couldn't be the same player as he was before 1 year, that's what I'm saying..
Tough one. Suggest not to bring Vardy
I was just keepin exact money on my WC to swap Giroud for Kun, but MNF game told me that Giroud is at least class over Kun atm so these money could be useful for other areas like DEF and MIDFIELD in my squad 🙂
I am not feeling well .Damn I should not have ate a box salted chocolate yesterday xD
I think you should eat another box to try reverse the affect.
Wouldn't that multiply the effect?
Not sure but I would atleast try it 😀
Maybe spiced chocolate may reverse it .Kudos
Salted chocolate is awful. Same with chilli chocolate. I just don't get it.
I never ate it but there is also bacon chocolate
Have 2FTs so need to make a move any ideas?Have 0.5ITB??
DDG
Bellerin Kolarov Cathcart Dawson Dann
Mahrez Ozil Silva KDB Westwood
Kane Lukaku VardyDDG>Courtois or Westwood>Bournemouth Mid (Stanislas/King)
Is Stan not injured?
Not sure for that maybe after presser you would know that better.
Ok cheers if fo is he a def starter?
e starts when he is fit no doubt - part of Howe's gameplan last weeks so no point to be benched if fit 🙂
Anyone know when the Liverpool presser is?
Yeah.
do tell?
3:30 I believe.
Cheers
Hi all, any thought about this team?
Myhill McCarthy
Moreno Wollscheid Kolarov Smalling Bellerín
Mahrez De Bruyne Özil Barkley Firmino
Lukaku Vardy Kane
2FT and 0,6 itb
I am thinking of improving the defence
McCarthy > Lloris
and Kolarov > Creswell (or Moreno out?)
then i'll care of the firmino caseAnyone else considering Ozil for captaincy?
i was considering mahrez
130 points off top spot in cash ML, 80 off prize spots.
I'm in need of catching up ground with differentials.
Butland
Dawson - Dier - Moreno
Özil - Coutinho - Silva (c) - Ramsey
Lukaku - Vardy - Kane
Myhill - Janmaat - VVD - Drinkwater
I'm able to do Kane > Aguero for freebies - worth doing?Anyone seeing stoke getting a cleanie against united?
Nope 1-1 is likely but I would play butland if I had him for them saves.
possible
Why are people transfering vardy out ? Is he confirmed out this week?
For me. I'll try to do something different to climb in rankings.
Like bring in kun , I already own him 😎
You are asking for trouble if you are trying to do something different this season. My rank drop like a stone since I do not have the template players like Vardy & Ighalo, even with the correct captaincy.
i dont understand neither
No, just satisfying that urge to bring in Aguero and captaining him against Sunderland, as a differential to boost their rankings after last week's "minor change in ranks"
Is he confirmed playing ?
Who? Aguero? Yes he will play. Vardy? Don't know.
Quite understandable then all those people coming kun
He is slowing, he has a niggle and I hope I can survive with Mahrez from Leicester for the next two weeks. I want Ighalo and someone has to make way. It's not going to be Lukaku and I'm reluctant to lose Kane ahead of the Norwich game so Vardy narrowly edged it. Will I regret it? Maybe, maybe not.
I wanted him to play this week ,I got my AoA fixtures are good too.
Bolasie Del lukaku kun vardy mahrez Wally and ozil.He may play and do well for you. I don't know. Given the risk of rest and rotation across the Premier League I'm not sure I would use my AOA chip this GW or next.
Watch out!! You will be jinxed if you do not have the template players 😆
Thanks, but I'm willing to take the risk.
I took the risk and now I am closer to 1m instead of 100k 😥
So I have 2FT and £4.4m in le bank... and I don't know what the fluke to do.
Butland, Pantilimon
Kolarov, Toby, Huth, Moreno, Cedric
Ozil, KDB, Mahrez, Wanyama, Barkley
Kane, Lukaku, Vardy
I'm thinking Moreno, Cedric and Wanyama to Kosc, Ward & Alli for (-4) which should sort the defence out and give a little more bite to my 5th midfielder.
I am worried that Kolarov may well be sidelined during the festive period.
Any ideas?Why don't they make qualification for the FPL Cup based on the top 2m overall rank rather than GW17 rank? The latter lets in loads more dead teams, whereas most active teams should be inside the top 2m OR.
This because I couldn't make it :'(
Haha me either!
Not interested at all.
more fun to play against a couple of dead teams!
Seriously tho, couldn't care less about thisYou get a tablet , a ball and a Fifa 16 Naah not worth unless somehow you make it too top 32
the odds are similar to playing the lottery, not worth even thinking about
I lost to dead team last season 🙁
Butland - (Myhill)
Alderweireld - Moreno - Bellerin - (Dawson) - (Targett)
De Bruyne - Ozil - Barkley - Mahrez - (Alli)
Kane (C) - Lukaku - Giroud
RMT is telling me to bench Mahrez for Alli, and Cap KdB. Thoughts?KDB (c) is what i'm on.
dont bench in form players, captain them instead
Think bench Barkley for Alli. Mahrez never again.
Play Dawson ahead of Moreno
So benching headache... 😛
Mahrez / Ramsey / Ozil / KDB / Alli
Vardy / Kane / Lukaku
Be great if Vardy is out 😀
Thinking the same
My Coutinho v Your Alli
Who you benching otherwise Alli?I mean i'd hate to, but I think out of the punch he's the one that would hurt me the least if he did get a big score.
KDB (c)
Honestly hoping that Vardy misses this week.*bunch
Same Benching Coutinho.. I'm on Ramsey atm for Captain
I'm also tempted by him.
I have a feeling this is the GW where the high ownership players Iggy/Lukaku/Mahrez will blank bring on the left field cap punt. KDB/Ramsey could score very well this GW.
Ozil or Sanchez long term?
oz
Have to go with Ozil on this one
Ozil no doubt, you don't have ozil yet?
No I had Sanchez till he got injured and haven't got either back yet
How did coutinho played in his last 2 games?
pretty poor
Any suggestions, guys? 🙂
---------------------------Courtois------------------------
-------Alderweireld Shawcross Fernandez-----
Mahrez(c) Ozil Barkley Coutinho Wijnaldum
------------------Giroud --------- Lukaku
1FT 4.2 itb Hennessey; Vardy Bellerin Moreno
Last week I used my WC if matters..
Thanks!Play Vardy bench Barkley, will come on as Auto-sub should he not play imo
play vardy for sure
play belerin maybeBellerin against Bertrand is an even fight + Southampton should score this time imo...
I'm gonna start Vardy instead of Giroud and this is it! Thanks
Cheers!
My cup opponent got 80 points last gw 😐 captained Özil.
Was hoping to get dead team.Mine is ranked 24,911...
I might have to put the kids out for the experience.
Is it possible to see our opponent's team for the cup? If yes, how?
Go to pick team page, scroll down, you will see above the team value your opponent
thanks
does anybody know if there are press cons between these two festive games at all?
or are we all in the dark re rotation...If that happens, it will make things interesting
Closest captaincy poll in a while it seems
Go Ozil if you can't decide.
