Our first members article of the weeks delves into the Gameweek 23 data this evening. Tottenham’s in-form midfielders catch the eye, whilst he also assess the recent displays of City and Liverpool’s weekend goal heroes before analysing the recent decline of Arsenal’s playmaker and Everton’s lone frontman.
It's 1 AM & I'm so hungry! fml!
Dominoes
I cannot wait for these DGW's! They're going to be so much fun. Personally I am going to be taking hits left, right and centre and looking to score BIG!
...and be left dissapointed
Quite probably but it will be a quick thrill!
Quiz up anyone?
No quiz up me
?
<
A fishWell, that f***ed up - I'm off to bed 🙂
Night
What's your strongest topic?
maths but open to anything I know a small bit about
Ok, Add me if you like 🙂
Victor Paraschiv
Ah so it's an app 😯 I thought you were asking for quiz time. My b fam.
Everton not likely to keep Newcastle out gwk 24 are they? Jagielka likely to start though?
I'd say they're a 50-50 a clean sheet ... I'm backing them!
1 CS at home all season.
I can't wait to see what DGW's look like on the ticker
You won't be disappointed, its beautiful
Me too 🙂
The blanks look better.
Baines -> Bellerin worth a FT or just keep hold of the Arsenal man? Also best replacement for Myhill? My other goalkeeper is Wayne Hennessey.
Keep Bellerin. Schmeichel, Gomes or Butland come to mind. Maybe wait to see which keeper has a DGW
I prefer Kos tbh.
I have the same problem and im almost certain im going for Kasper as they rotate pretty wellYeah I think I should keep him for now and I'm leaning towards Schmeichel as well, although Gomes seems like a good pick too. Will wait for DGW fixture confirmation first before deciding on my transfers.
A) butland & williams
B) schmeichel & sagnaA
A
Must be other defenders to choose from?
But if I had to pick 1 it would be A.
A
How did Firmino look today?
Pretty rubbish by all accounts. Don't believe the hype just yet.
My 18 points disagree. 😛
No defence will be as charitable again as norwich were all season.
Sunderland might. 😛
He might only get 15pts that game 🙂
Or 21
Two new recruits hopefully this week. Kone from Lorient. Centre half. He's a right unit. Hopefully we can nab debuchy too. That should shore thing up a little.
Jones is awful at RB and the fact we're got ourselves into a position that we need to rely on brown is shocking really.If you get Ayew, you'll stay up for sure I think.
Would be an amazing singing and got to think we've had encouragement fact we've made a concrete bid, but just can't see Swansea selling.
10m + Borini is a very good offer. Swans must be tempted at least.
Well borini saying he's 100% staying at Sunderland and other reports saying he wasn't part of the bid. Different media outlets seem to be saying different things. I won't get too excited until he's signed and I see the standard scarf above the head photo.
Swanswa should hold out for £10m without Borini
Not convinced myself. Especially against a solid Leicester defence.
How about the Arsenal defence which he battered.. 😉
He tried but Stoke were well organised.
Hit the post but had a poor game. Scored his pen..
Didn't have much of a sniff according to the highlights apart from hitting the post
Is Ayew to Sunderland looking likely?
Fans aren't convinced. The sceptics think it's Sunderland putting the rumours out so it looks like they're going after quality, I.e.its just to keep fans happy when we'll ultimately end up with some over the hill player on loan that isn't good enough. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed it might happen though but doesn't seem likely.
Complete rubbish..
Shameful first-touch through-out, bad positioning, no ambition to attack the ball, passing accuracy should be shameful.. all that for a supposedly brazilian star.. wow!
Inconsistent..
Balders, you around?
yea
Check your email 🙂
I see Walker is now yellow flagged. I apologize if this has been covered, but what happened?
New baby
Birth of his child according to Lineup Lessons
Baba
He was due
Gotcha. Thanks. Nothing to see here, then.
🙂
I'm a Yank, so not as close to it as those across the pond. Do you think Walker's spot is seriously threatened by Trippier? I didn't think Trippier looked all that effective over the weekend. But I hate dealing with even the risk of rotation.
Whilst they have a heavy schedule, rotation will be happening. Walker doesn't do 2 games in a row well.
My midfield: Ozil Payet Mahrez Alli KDB. Which one should I bench this week? Got it wrong and benched Alli last week, still reeling from that 🙁
play all 5. mahrez will be in another high scoring game . and alli is currently unbenchable.
Mahrez
Think I'm gonna bench Ozil. Cheers for the replies!
Not a bad shout. I may do the same actually.
Good to know I'm not alone in that one, and Ozil has just been poor lately while Liverpool's defence is quite suspect so I expect Mahrez to do something this week
KDB.
RMT please
Butland, McCarthy
Bellerin, Alderweireld, Cathcart, Francis, Simpson
Mahrez, De Bruyne, Ozil, Payet, Alli
Aguero, Kane, Lukaku
0 ITB, 2 FT
I'm considering transferring out KDB for Firmino. Also considering Barkley for Mahrez (less inclined though). Or does my defense need work?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!Looks fine to me for now. Probably change McCarthy.
kdb might get a dgw . barkley dgw so yeah mahrez out is sound
Thought on my team I'm on my WC
Butland Hennessy
Bellerin baines sagna Simpson target
KDB Sanchez payet firmino Ali
Lukaku ighalo kun
0.6 ITB
Butland is a no for me. Stats without Shawcross are very low compared to with.
Not sure about KDB, would prefer Silva there.
I would get Kosc instead of Bellerin, and perhaps a WBA defender instead of Simpson if you can squeeze it.
RMT please 🙂
Elliot, Hennessey
Jagielka, Dier, Monreal, Daniels, Simpson
Alli, Payet, Ozil, Wijnaldum, Gosling
Lukaku, Kane, Aguero
3.0m itb
Thinking of taking Wijnaldum out, but who for?Looks at good as any, less the keepers.
There are a lot of firing midfielders and I would keep that 3.0 ITB to facilitate a clicking Sanchez or Silva.
Thoughts on any transfers I should make? This team, to me, looks very solid.
Lloris
Evans - Dawson - Jags
Sanchez - Silva - Barkley - Firmino
Aguero - Kane - Lukaku
Subs: Hennessey; Daniels, Targett, Stanislas .1 ITB, 1FT
Any reason Jags didn't play?Considering Hennessey over Lloris, by the way.
Jagielka was rested.
The old benching headache:
Ozil (SOU) Firmino (lei) Mahrez (LIV) Alli (nor) Payet (AVL)
Lukaku (NEW) Giroud (SOU) Aguero (sun)
Currently on Mahrez or FirminoOzil. His stats are down and the others really don't seem droppable. I'd really fancy Giroud in that game anyways (although likely for a goal to come from Ozil..)
One of those first three midfielders.
Mahrez
Tough one. Mahrez or Ozil probably
I know it's a bit laste but didn't expect myself to come back this from my vacation.
76 points this gw. wow. Very glad. 😀 😀
Lukaku and Payet blanking and Ighalo and Alli firing was the icing on the cake. 😀Which week will the DGW fall under, GW25 or after that? Only Eve & Liv have a DGW so far yeah? Might bring Baines in for Bellerin if it falls in GW25
No idea. City and Newcastle will join them if City get to the final.
Cheers, hopefully we'll find out soon after the City-Everton league cup game
Likely tobe after the FA Cup games as replays need to be played before FPL games.
only 1 dgw if city loses
not sure if its wise to use chips then. 3pleC firminho ?Probably wouldn't use any chips in that DGW or would go Lukaku.
there will be two more DGW soon? around gw33 and gw37 iinm, am i?
34 and 37 to play the fixtures postponed for the FACup quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively
Thankth guyth
Kingthman the thecret thervithe was pretty good
next one
a. saving private Ryan
or
b. Mission impossible Rogue nation
c . The Elephant Man with your lisp
😀
lol, have a break
I watched SPR before , but didn't remember
Focus or Mission impossible TM?Haven't seen either but give Focus a go.
did you burn your tongue?? haha 😛
A if no other trannies
about 10/12 haven't watched
Everst/ San andreas / the 33 / The man from U.N.C.L.E/ maze runner / f&f 7 and Southpaw ....Gotta admit, most of those are pretty bad bar Everest & FF7 tbh
exactly That's why I'am asking
cheers Zasa
Konta looks a decent tennis player. Might have an Australian Open semi finalist from GB in the womens.
Never really sure how to feel about these players we shipi n to represent GB
Just realised she was born in Sydney Australia 😆
Moved to UK aged 14.
Not as bad as some then.
To be fair, it's been going on in football for years. As long as they have a passport for whatever nation and they're proud to represent that nation it should be ok, imo anyway.
I do agree really. It is the same in all sports to some degree.
When the player sounds speaks quite clearly in a foreign aspect it is a bit strange.Yes, just a tad. Like most of the Irish football team in the 90's 😀 or the current welsh team lol.
I wish I had another sandwich.
why wouldn u?
I don't have another sandwich
What exactly does CBI stand for in the tables? They're all defs.Thx
Clearances, blocks and interceptions.
clearance block interception IMO
So it appears Walker hasn't been playing for personal reasons. I hope he is OK.
baby leave I heard
Scroll up the page.
oh. he better play then!
So which teams will have DGW?
Only Liverpool and Everton is certain
Ok, so City and Newcastle if City beats Everton? which GW is likely to be?
Yes and no one knows.
Ok, I see, let´s wait, thank you both. 🙂
"Linlithgow Rose became the first junior team to reach the last 16 of the Scottish Cup after Kevin Kelbie struck in extra-time against Forfar Athletic.
After a goalless 90 minutes, visiting substitute Michael Jones set up Kelbie to score five minutes from time to knock out the League One side.
...
Rose suffered a blow ahead of kick off against Forfar, with captain Mark Tyrell missing from their defence as he was unable to swap a shift at the sausage factory where he works." 😀
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35289266😆
Linlithgow is the posh end of where I used to live. That will be the Halls Sausage factory then
I believe that in the Spurs defence Rose and Davies alternate when fit. The only reason we have the impression one of them may be first choice is down to Europa league, cup games and injuries. This sometimes gives the impression that one of them is first choice as midweek games inevitably give rise to the Saturday player always being the same person. Once there isn't a midweek game it gives the league games to somepone else
I think Spurs are doing the same thing with Walker and Trippier now
Yup , its a big pain in the arse....hopefully 4.6m Wimmer becomes nailed...
You may be right but I have a theory (unfounded one 😛 ) that whenever Trippier plays Spurs a 3-4-3 with Rose on the other side....I may be wrong tho...Trippier has hardly played compared to Rose.
Trippier has never played with Davies in the PL this season no?
Maybe when no one is looking.
Maybe in Europa?
At the moment Trippier and Rose seem to hit the team at the same time for sure.
Yup , lets see what happens
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/12536440
Same for Davies/Rose unless one is injured meaning they play them all.Very perceptive Cheeseoid! I hope for the sake of my sky team some normality resumes when the European schedule kicks in in two weeks time.
Are you keeping Rose?
In my case, I really don't know.
I think it may be a 'wait and see' situation, but how much more time can us owners spend waiting? Deciding between Dann/Rose to drop for a DGW player in the coming weeks.At present yes. Unles I think the DGW's present some form of opportunity
@EH
Liverpool only copped 0.5 vs Norwich but conceded 4 goals.
Guess most of https://public.tableau.com/profile/paul.riley#!/vizhome/PremierLeagueManagers/Sheet1 shots in that game didn't factor in then?Norwich had only 5 non-penalty shots in the entire game and hads 4 on target , scored with each of them and none of the shots were Big Chances
Liverpool were *unlucky*
The table link is on the wrong page.
Mbokani goal was 0.49 and the Bassong goal was 0.10?
Also the link you gave is not even rometely related to my model
*Michael Caley's model
It's Paul Rileys. 2/8 is the right page.
So they are using different numbers for xG?yes, Riley uses SoTs only and is scaled up to reflect that. Whereas Caley uses all shots. In a game where everything goes on target, Riley produces much higher values.
Interesting. So which one do you think is better?
IMO
Both are really good but a form ticker based on SoT is not good as high/low shot accuracy ws are unsustainable and thus it gives us false infoI much prefer Caley's for its granularity and precision, but Riley has the benefit of much more open data for FPLers. Both are better than straight shot numbers for sure.
Re:Precision
Yup , Riley's model hopes for a lot of things to balance out over the season 🙂
Cheers both.
I need some stress relief. Which of Saturday's Premier League games would be most fun to watch? Liverpool-v-Norwich?
Once we get to the next page you could try something out...
Well I've brought that one post closer for all of those waiting for the page to turn.
This page has dragged
The first half was so-so , maybe skip to second half? 😉
Cheers EH.
Norwich - Liverpool is the obvious one as a 9 goal thriller. And you get Klopp's celebration at the end.
Cheers Balders. Sounds like I'm off to Carrow Road.
The Palace game might be ok.
I might have to switch to that one. Although my pvr recording says Premier League Soccer it appears they showed tennis instead. I hate when they do that.
West Brom v Aston Villa
Thanks Nick.
Only joshing 😀
I'd go to Carrow Road if I were youWhy I oughta...
😀
