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.
I am thinking of improving my defence
McCarthy > Lloris
and Kolarov > Creswell
team is
Myhill McCarthy
Moreno Wollscheid Kolarov Smalling Bellerín
Mahrez De Bruyne Özil Barkley Firmino
Lukaku Vardy Kane
2FT and 0,6 itb
thought?
Moreno to Cresswell could be better option
you think kolarov cannot rotate and can keep a clean sheet?
McCarthy > Lloris is good. Would suggest to replace Firmino rather than Kolarov. With 0.6 in the bank think u can afford the likes of Wally/ Ramsey. Play them and bench Barkley imo
it is a good option.
but i put barkley on the bench last gw and i paid for thatHad Barkley since GW3 and came to a conclusion to sell him. I am anticipating only 1 goal from Everton this week most likely from Lukaku
I'd ship Moreno rather than Kolarov if I was you
you yhink kolarov cannot rotate and can keep a clean sheet?
Liverpool defence is one of the worst in the league at the moment.
City fixtures are good.
Kolarov has 73 points, Moreno has 40.
Kolarov is due a goal.
I'd probably just do one transfer and get rid of Firmino.
it clear that firmino is a heavy pain
Captains this week?
Kun
Mahrez
My mate Mahrez.
Kevin
Kevin! What have you done to my room?!
^This
Two thugs broke into ur house. Had to do something
These darn cartons are so flingin'-flangin' hard to open.
Mahrez of course
Mahrez again
KDB or Ramsey
Mahrez, Kane, Lukaku or Ozil. Hmm.
Rambo
G2G lads,
Butland
Kolarov Toby Francis
Wijnaldum Mahrez Yaya KDB
Kane Lukaku Vardy
subs:Schmeicel Mane Moreno Saylor*
I bet dollars to cents Kolarov don't start this weekend
Kola>Bellerina
no longer nailed so i'd get rid.
for a hit ?
If all FTs used, then all good.
Otherwise Moreno -> Cresswell and play ahead of Francis.
How's this for a plan?
Westwood -> Alli and Kane -> Aguero. Play AOA to leave me with:
Butland
Kolarov / Evans
De Bruyne / Özil / Ramsey / Alli / Mahrez
Lukaku / Vardy / Agüero
Gomes / Richards / Moreno / HuthI wouldn't AOA for one simple reason, VARDY. If he is not fit, you will end up with only 10 playing.
The transfers are for free or a hit?2 FTs. If Vardy doesn't play, Moreno comes in and I've wasted my chip?
IF Vardy doesn't play, you Moreno DOESN'T come in and you would have wasted your chip
Thats the problem with AOA, you have to make sure all front 8 are playingThanks Gunner. I didn't know that.
see below - Moreno does come in
Anytime
can you please assist me above ?
you have wasted your chip, but Moreno does come in if Vardy doesn't play
Are you sure about that?
A friend of mine told me so.yes, I played mine in gw8 (see linked team), and Evans came on for Mahrez I think when I played my AOA
Ya I think you might be right
ThanksThanks PompeyFan
I like it.
Is it for a hit?2 frees
Interesting plan.
Will Alli play deeper with Dembele back?Nm, he was back last week, wasn't he? 🙂
Yeah. Dembele played in the pivot with Alli in the 10, I believe.
Butland/McCarthy
Monreal J.Evans Alderweireld Van Dijk Darmian
Mahrez Ozil Barkley KDB Westwood
Ighalo Lukaku Vardy
2FTs and £7.6m ITB
Looking at transferring out Darmian and Westwood to strengthen my bench.
Which two transfers would you suggest from the below?
A) Dann
B) Zouma
C) Kolarov
D) Ali
E) Coutinho
F) OscarDann & Alli imo
If you're starting a defender against Leicester City, you're doing FPL wrong.
it depends, but since this week it would be a Liverpool defender, then I agree
No one, not a single team, has kept a clean sheet against them this season. Most concede 2-3 goals.
true. But it likely won't last forever, it rarely does
Got to follow the trend though, otherwise we might as well close our eyes and pick a team at random every week.
0-0
yep, there is this
Nice find on Martinez re: Lukaku btw. And nice dig too 😉
Thanks Andy 🙂
Great scoutcast again. Watched it late last night.
With the exception of Kolarov, he's captain material vs Leicester.
3rd on bench
GB, are you sticking with Mahrez {C} this week?
What defenders you starting Jazz?
Didn't get a single CS from 5 defenders last week, I'm guessing you had the same result?
I think I'm going
Rose Bellerin Souare (Evans Moreno)Same, benching Evans and Moreno. Not sure whether to play Butland and Myhill though.
I'm on Butland. Hessenney other GK so didn't want to double up on CP. Probably Butland for you too, Swansea looking better of late, where Man U still looking poor going forward.
Thanks mate 🙂
Not sure I trust the Tinkerman enough not to tinker given he plays City a few days after.
May go safe with Lukaku this week. Maybe Theo...Mahrez will definitely start this week I reckon.
Klopp may decide to field all his available defenders for this match
I'm playing Moreno just for the attacking intent - I know as soon as I bench him he will score/assist.
Dont expect or want a cleansheetHe's only got 1 assist all season. Do you think there is an underlying reason for this?
Does he create poor chances, or can't the Liverpool players finish?
the latter, certainly when benteke has played. Moreno has put it on a plate for him a couple of times and he has fluffed it
I have no City cover.
A) Coutinho to KDB
B) Kane to AgueroA but I'd be tempted by Silva instead - maybe because I own him 😀
A.
Kane & KDB should score higher than Coutinho and Aguero, I think.
a
Thanks
What do we reckon people, Ramsey or Walcott??
Ramsey more nailed, probably more consistent (?)
Walcott more explosiveRamsey for me, 50/50, went for the safer option due to the season being the way it has been so far.
Walcott imo
Moreno, Cedric and Wanyama to Kosc, Ward & Alli (-4).
1) Yay
2) NayWhoops
Did Rambo move earlier today. Nailed, plays at his favorite position till Sanchez returns, no risk of subbing off at 60th minute, gets at least a couple great chances per game, etc.
Some interesting stats in this article..
In particular Pedro, KdB, Veretout, Oscar, Mané.....
Some differentials still out there no doubt.
Mane!!! I am a frustrated Mane owner.
Hmmm, I'm either doing Ramsey {C} or Lukaku {C}...
No Riyad?
Own him and captained last week, feel uneasy about giving him the armband again...
No problem for me doing the same C choice again.
Ramsey meh
It has to be Mahrez against the awful defence of pool.
Lukaku mahrez kun all good options
Ramsey or KDB for me.
KDB looked fiery against Arsenal. He can be a good shot this gameweek.
Precisely 😀
wouldn't do ransey captain,
Cheers Jax
Moreno, Cedric and Wanyama to Kosc, Ward & Alli (-4).
1) Yay
2) NayWell looks good, but all transfers same week necessary? Losing 4 there
I was going Kane (C).
But Mignolet and Skrtel injured mean the Liverpool defence will be wide open.
Mahrez couldn't score another brace, could he?He could
Ditto. I was on Kane, but Mahrez...
I just know that if I go with Mahrez this will be the one he blanksMahrez could've scored a brace even without Liverpool's injuries. They change nothing.
I should play Francis (CRY) over Moreno (LEI), shouldn't I..?
I think I'd play most people over Moreno this week!
Next 4-6 GWs -
Butland or Lloris or another recommendation for GK?
Yaya Toure or Barkley?
Many thanks.Butland is the best.
Butland and Barkley.
Perfect, thanks guys.
With all these chips around makes the knockout competition a bit of a joke. Just going to run into some random who triple captaining or using bench boot
Agreed.
Not that I care much for the cup competition, but I'd agree with this. Would be fairer if they levelled the field out and the 3 new chips don't count for the cup ties. The Wildcard use is clearly a diffrent matter - they can't do much about this.
my opponent has a brilliant team because he makes 7 transfers every week. If he makes none this week he kills me. Just another unfair aspect
Greetings everyone
Mahrez barkley wijnaldum ozil kdb
Lukaku kane ighalo
What to do with this lot??
A Barkley> Ramsey
B Wijnaldum > Ramsey
C Lukaku > Kun
D Save and bench either ighalo/ Barkley
Thoughts??
Help appreciatedb
D. Save & bench Barkley
Bench two:
A) Dawson (swa)
B) Nyom (che)
C) Bellerin (sou)
D) Toby (NOR)
E) Moreno (LEI)Your main choice seems to be Dawson or Moreno to pla as Nyom will bebenched
Will he?
Quite easy. Definitely bench Moreno as Liverpool are facing arguably the deadliest attack in the PL.
And also Nyom as they're away to a new manager Chelsea.B & E imo
No Skrtel does make Mahrez feel like a shoe in for captain.
They struggled without Milner last week and i think this is going to hit them even harder.Skrtel isn't exactly the best defender though. pool are rubbish with/without him.
this
Not if Vardy is injured
if Vardy is out, then thats a huge loss for City. His movement would cause Liverpool a lot of problems.
Yea hes not great but better than Kolo Toure
How do I use my FT ?
DDG
Kolarov Bellerin Nyom
Silva Mahrez Ozil Coutinho
Vardy kane(c) Lukaku
Subs : Kean, Moreno,Morgan,Mutch
2.7 ITB , 1 FT
Leicester would be awarded with penalty against Liverpool. Book this!
good for mahrez
Mahrez (c) is it then
Penalty miss incoming
cheers mystic michael
Exactly! Mahrez (c) here (pool fan)
play
A Smalling (at home against Stoke)
B Wollsheid (away at ManU)
?sorry smalling away and woll at home
woll
Stoke are at home not United,smalling IMO
It's the other way around, Stoke are at home. I'd probably play Woll at the moment as Man Utd's defence is still not quite there, even with Smalling back, you know what they say about Stoke at home. May be goals at both ends though
If Vardy is a doubt. What idea do you like best? 2FT
A. Vardy + Kolarov --> Aguero + Dawson/Dier
B. Westwood --> Alli (Alli in for Vardy if he is injured)b
In your opinion, which Man City midfielder will score more points this period?
KDB
yaya
YaYa or KDB
Thanks guys
anyone keeping their ft this week?
Nope
yes.. most likely. don't see many moves to make
I'm gonna save it just because played my WC last week 😀
Keeping 1 of my original 2, yes.
So do we see ramsey continuing in his favoured position even after Alexis is back?
mahrez captainers: if vardy doesnt play, will that change your thinking, maybe less chance of assists for mahrez ? thoughts
It will be nice to see how they cope up without vardy
they got ozaki ulloa to come in, cheers
Mahrez is onfire without Vardy this means there would be more shots on goal from Riyad 😉
yeah my thoughts to, cheers
Mahrez will assist Okazaki then
my fear as lfc fan ! but would be a miracle if we keep cs, only had 1 in last 8, cheers
Lloris, Butland or Hennessey in for McCarthy?
Lloris
lloris
Bench 1 please gents
A. Alli (NOR)
B. Ramsey (sou)
C. Ozil (sou)
D. Vardy (liv)Vardy
Probably A because he is your fodder. You can't bench any of the others...
No idea but I would bench Alli baba
Alli only imo
Thanks all
Alli
Stupidly got Sanchez last week. Replace him with Ramsey or Walcott!
Ha, that should bed a question mark
Walcott posses more danger infront imo..
why would you get him when he wasn't even confirmed back?
Dawson still a good option after that Pulis tweet?
