Our first members article of the week analyses a number of key statistics from the previous round of fixtures. We cast an eye over Tottenham, Newcastle and Man City’s midfield and strikers and also assess Watford’s out-of-sorts attack as the Hornets struggle for a cutting edge.

wooh Mahrez survives
Defoe wagon engaged. http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/blown-away.gif
All the Mahrez sellers are on WC it seems.
I'm in work in the morning and yet again I'm here for the PuupyPost. wtf. NN all 🙂
Haha night RCA

Daniels wagon has left the station
At 4.6, still plenty of room.
2 up, none down
Butland and Daniels 🙁
Prem Dream Team Challenge
Rules
1. Can't select 2 players from the same team
2. Can't select 2 players of the same nationality
It's harder than it sounds
3. Can use any permitted FPL formation
De Gea
Ivanovic Alderweireld Williams Baines
Mahrez Ozil Payet Firmino
Aguero Ighalo
Oh, are we talking current ones? Here's me wasting time drawing up an all-time one and wondering which of Schmeichel, Ronaldo, Scholes and Cantona I would take if pushed 😀
Ahhhhh Williams! I didn't use any Welsh, back to the drawing board maybe...
Our RB/LB combos 😀
Cech
Coleman fonte Sakho Moreno
Gerrard 🙂
Hazard Mahrez Sanchez
Kun Ighalo
--------------------Forster----------------------
-Coleman-Evans-Smalling-Azpilicueta-
---------Mahrez-Payet-Sanchez-----------
---------Ighalo-Aguero-Arnautovic--------
Sanchez -> Ozil?
2 English players in there?
Scottish
Rep. Ire, N. Ire, Eng
Oh sh!t, nvm, brainfart. I had Forster as Scottish because he came from Celtic 😳
Forster and smalling? he meant maldini
I'm sure Arnie is a mid?
You've been dying to use that haven't ya? 🙂 Totally unnecessary lol
yeah change him with Sanchez I kept re-cutting the formation trying to fit different players in
Too much thinking atm when work needs to be done. Will come back to this interesting idea
BOOM!! Just tweaked the current template 🙂
De Gea
Ivanovic Williams Pieters
Sanchez Mahrez Payet Coutinho
Agüero Kane Lukaku
Where is Williams from?

Wasted time earlier in the week comparing ighalo and Kane to decide who to sell.
Could have just read the article and arrived at the same conclusion.
Aye 🙂 Off the boil to say the least
And the conclusion is....?
*awaitscunninglyasanon-member
Just doing my bit for FFS and helping to sell more memberships.
Great article, green arrow guaranteed. I'll tell you next week what the right thing to do was 😉
How funny it would be if Mahrez trolls his sellers this week
Plan to sell next week but a big haul would make me reconsider
It would be the least funny thing ever!
You spelt most wrong
Any reason why De Gea or Lloris isnt on the watchlist?
Surely a better option than Boruc, Bunn, Howard, Hennessey, Fabianski, Mignoet. Makes no sense unless Im missing something?
I asked that question over a week ago.
I accused admin of taking their eye off the ball and giving bad advice.
The fob off I got from Andy was, " We can't be perfect all the time".
Your wasting your time asking questions like this.
Bunn better than De Gea!!!
I rarely look at it tbh but some of the picks seem...odd
Odd is an understatement.
I wont be wasting my money next season to get advice like this.
Morning all.
Morning mate
Hey matey. How's it going?
good
OR is sh!t need come back just like you did from 500k to 100k in 5/6 GWs ... WCed last week and hoping for come back too
Well done. To us 😉
OR at this stage is still nothing. As long as we're not THAT far off top 10k I think we should still be optimistic.
Morning Nabil
morning James1 😀
Congrats for the great green arrow mate 🙂
What's your plan for next GW?
Cheers my man
You're doing great too with 2 greenies. Well done.
#marathonnotsprint 😉
Still unsure. Got 2 FTs ut don;t know how to use it. If only I can trade one for points 😆
Jags or Bainsey?
I'm pondering the same question myself. Tough call.
Replacing Kolarov?
Jags is the cost-effective option. Baines the premium-priced option with what has now become questionable attacking threat (2 assists over the weekend)
Baines. Jags better bps but Baines attacking threat is worth it.
Butland sale price 4.9 fantastic
So , I was bored yesterday , so I found out the average xA per match for all teams in the last 6 matches , here are the results-
TOT 0.57
MCI 0.77
WAT 0.82
WBA 0.84
MUN 0.87
AVL 0.9
SOT 0.95
STO 0.97
ARS 0.98
CHE 1.04
NOR 1.04
SWA 1.07
WHU 1.15
CPL 1.18
BOU 1.2
EVE 1.2
LEI 1.21
LIV 1.27
NEW 1.35
SUN 1.43
Note :
I know xG is a better measure for goals scored , so take these numbers with a pinch of salt
6 fixtures is a very short sample size and susceptible to variance
I have not accounted for fixture difficulty but as soon as Mr.Caley updates his data , I will update the numbers for fixture difficulty
Lastly , what do you think of this?And should I make one for xG too? And should I add fixture difficulty
I think you need more disclaimers. If I lose points because of this you could be liable. If you like I can ask our legal department to turn it into 40 pages of incomprehensible prose that you have to agree to before receiving the information 😉
In terms of the content I like these measures as it helps to connect actual performance (goals conceded) with some underlying stats to give an indication of whether it is down to luck. Fixture difficulty is important as a rating of 1 away to city is better than 0.9 at home to WBA.
The thing is I added fixture difficulty yesterday but realized the data I had for the whole season was not updated till GW 22 , so as soon as I get my hands on it , I will update 🙂
I was pretty satisfied even without fixture difficulty added as the ranking meets my eye test (bar Man City)
Thanks for the response tho.
which three to play?
daniels (A sunderland)
moreno (A norwich)
dawson (H villa)
bellerin (H chelsea)
toby (A palace)
Tough choice, I'd bench Daniels and bellerin
Dawson Toby Belle
Dawson/Toby/Bellerin
thanks for the input gents
Moreno Dawson Toby
Which gws are usually the blank ones. I know the cc one but what weeks are the fa cup?
30 and 35
Yeah that could leave a headache in the fallout after gw34. Glad they have nothing to do with gw 33 though which was a sudden concern.
Dont know what to do with the below. 2FT 3.4ITB
Schmeicel - Butland
Azpi - Evans - Bellerin - Moreno - Toby
Silva - Mahrez - Alli - Payet - Ozil
Kane - Ighalo - Lukaku
Azpi + Mahrez + Ighalo -> Simpson + Stanislas + Kun. Would u do for -4 now or just Azpi to Simpson this week and free next week?
Thanks in advanced!
Probably don't take hit
Yeah thinking just Azpi to Simpson this week and if all goes to plan, the other two next week. Hopefully price changes dont affect the plan!
Coin toss, the three you want have lower ownership than the three you own so if you're trying to gain ground the -4 could be worth it.
No hit.
this season so far
4 Red arrows in a row
8 Green arrows in a row
8 Red arrows in a row
1 green and I'm waiting
7green and illuminati !!
Your season is like a roller coaster 😯
I never got more than 3 green arrows in a row since last season
Wait till Baines cracks in a 30 yard free kick at the weekend. Glad to be there before most.
mirallas will be on the pitch ? if yes he would kill baines / barkley / lukaku before they take any FR
*FK
I'm still mad from when Mirallas stole that pk from baines and missed last year. Lol
twas funny though
not much for baines owner
I had Baines in my team and a bet on him to score. I was devastated by what happened.
Well I can laugh it about it now...at the time I was not impressed. I mean you get him because he's on pk etc. then I see this nonsense...
Worth doing for a hit kdb and ighalo to firmino/barkley and aguero?
Ddg henesey
Ward toby belerin fuchs creswel
Mahrez ozil antonio kdb alli
Kane lukaku ighalo
Anyone?
Who will you captain if you take the hit?
Kane or aguero
Team might be
Ddg
Toby belerin fuchs
Ozil mahrez antonio firmino/barkley
Kane aguero lukaku
Not for a hit
who's out for Lloris?
A. Myhill
B. Elliot
myhill
A Myhill likely to be dropped and Elliot has 50% chance of DGW
I was thinking of swapping for Howard if they get the double.
Alot of people bringing in Firminho, why?!
The make believe "h" in his name
lol! oops!
I've been impressed with what I've seen of late. Over the coming fixtures I expect a few decent hauls.
Looking at fixtures i odd though considering all his hauls are against tough opposition?
Hadn't clocked onto that tbh. Hope that changes!
Looking at fixtures only.
Are the FFS cup cut-offs determined?
71 surely enough right?
Later today is the plan. Safe by my calculations.
Definitely, apparently it's likely to be a 67/68 cutoff score
66 for me, gutted
So i reckon 72 safe for both comps
Line-up and transfer musings for the upcoming GW
Butland (McCarthy)
Walker Kolarov* Huth (Williams Francis)
Silva Mahrez Ozil Alli (Surman)
Aguero(c) Kane Lukaku(vc)
0.2m in bank| 2FTs
A. Kolarov > Baines (or Jagielka/Dawson)
B. Kolarov & Mahrez > Jagielka (or Dawson) & Barkley
Thoughts appreciated
It may be boring, but McCarthy->Elliot? Gets rid of dead weight (atm, i know he could get his place back) and gives you a potential DGW player whos nailed on and getting save points.
From what you listed, A. Just not sold on Everton defense.
Cheers Swan!
Kdb to barkley or firmino?
Need to do it to get aguero otherwise will have to play ighalo.
Barkley, it the move I did, although I dont have Lukaku. Firmino could be a good pick although he only seems to play well against the better teams when the have easier fixtures next.
whats wrong with playing ighalo at home vs NEWC?
No aguero then
Newcastle picked up, Watford off form.
^^^ This
Really want Kane over Igahlo. Can't make it happen. 0 FT and 2.6 ITB.
Butland Hennessey
Dawson Moreno Wollscheid Monreal Daniels
Payet Mahrez Ozil KDB Alli
Aguero Lukaku Ighalo
Logic dictates that I should wait and do this in a couple weeks. Seems rash to play WC to make this happen now?
PLEASE help. Thanks!
Just wait a week, then KDB> Silva, Ighalo > Kane, you keep a City mid for potential dgw then
Good advice. Seems completely unnecessary to force this now.
Sounded good but that math doesn't add up. Wait a week since Ighalo is at home and Kane is away, can't hurt.
Ya puts me .5 out.
Kane is on the road next two and Ighalo at home for them.
Will have to hold off and reevaluate
Mahrez to cheapie like Gosling or Warson will be your best bet and upgrade Alli to your 4th mid, as you say though, well worth waiting a week, Mahrez and Igalho two good fixtures they could come good
Not sold yet on losing Mahrez.
I know it's trendy on here to consider dumping him now but if he finds his form again I don't want to miss out with his ownership.
downgrade Ali to a cheapie
Hey guys, just checking I got the bench right for this week 🙂
De Gea
Alderweireld Baines PvA
Barkley Ramsey Alli Wijnaldum
Aguero Kane Rooney
Elliot Payet Daniels Williams
As a Westham fan, we were very poor v Newcastle. Even at home I expect a close game with city. 0-0 or 1-0 either way. Lack of a decent striker is really going to hurt us I feel.
Payet over any of your milfs
Barkley (swan H)
Ramsey (che H)
Alli (Palace A)
Wij (Wat A) would probably be the best switch as he is much better at home, although was impressed by him against us last gw. Best Newcastle player.
Payet over Alli or Wij imo. He's still 'unbenchable' atm
I think Bilic's strategy is better when you guys play away games, i.e those victories at supposedly difficult way fixtures. When at home where you need to break the defence or bring down the parked bus, maybe the players bar Payet are geting hard times. just my 2 cents.
Yep and we have no decent option up front. Was really hoping we could have got Austin.
Sakho and Carroll injured most of the time
Jelavic is just awefull (although to be fair scored a nice goal last gw)
Valence to inconsistent.
At least Carroll was great for bringing the likes of Cresswell/Payet into the game for crosses etc. Jelavic just doesnt compare for being able to hold up the ball.
Alli looks good and plays struggling Palace. Wij would be the one to drop I think. Cheers 🙂
Elliot/pickford rotation good ?
Cheap, for sure. Not sure how many CS you'll get. Could work out
Currently have Moreno on the bench, would you play him before any of the following?
A) Dawson
B) Bellerin
C) Simpson
Would play him before C
no
cheers guys
Anyone keeping ighalo and why? Apart from the fixture reason.
My only reason is the fixture and I have a strong front 8 , so can bench Ighalo in the tougher fixtures
many. But may will sell after this GW too
This week will be my 4th week in a row without taking a hit, that's a first in my entire FPL career, really boring playing like this though
haha you need to read villa ronka history
That's what made me stop, I see all the good players like Mark and Triiggerlps very rarely take hits and since December those two are slowly making their way up to where they belong
Who to bench: Ozil, Alli, Antonio, Arnautovic, Mahrez?
Also, play Zouma or Cresswell?
Thanks
Antonio or Arnau. Maybe Antonio since I think LEI - STO will be an open game.
