After delving into the Defensive data over the last four matches earlier this week, we turn our attentions to the centre of the park. With double Gameweek shopping in mind, we compare some of the West Ham, Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle midfielders, before casting an eye over the upturn in form from Leicester’s talismanic wide man.
is there anywhere i can watch this chile game>!
Come over.
TM is having a party?
3 goals in 25 minutes, party time.
Bein Sports 3
Cech / Elliot
Bellerín - Rojo - Cresswell - Dawson - Moreno
Mahrez - Ozil - Coutinho - Payet - Antonio
Kun - Rashford - Lukaku
Feedback on this WC DGW34 Team??
I like. Rashford and moreno minutes worry me though.
And only 1 dgw33 playerGW 33 has Doubles?
Everton and Palace.
It´s official?
Yes, check front page for article and fpl fixture list.
Oh that´s very cool, thanks mate. 🙂
Robles/Funes Mori, Barkley and Lukaku from Everton and Ward, Cabaye/Bolasie and Wickham/Adebayor from Palace are the best options right?Those are the names mentioned, but don't overdo it because both blank 35 and Palace two tough away games second double 34.
Yes, you are totally right, don´t overdo, thanks mate. 🙂
Looks fine
Ok, nice, thanks mate. 🙂
Rashford's minutes are a gamble. Other than that its a strong side
Yeah, it´s true, that makes me think too but this is not definitive, I will change somethings. 🙂
Oh and thanks mate. 🙂
When's Cech due back?
Immediately after the international break
I don´t know but he can return soon, I think.
Cech to Robles and Dawson/Moreno to Koscielny?
Not a bad idea, I will see and think, thanks mate. 🙂
Anyone got any ideas for the 2 most nailed in Liverpool defenders (for the rest of the season, not including mignolet)? Currently thinking sakho and clyne, but Moreno and Flanagan are throwing spanners in the works...
Sakho and Clyne
I'd say Sakho and Clyne too
There was some talk about Flanagan not being registered for cup games? Might make his place more nailed in the PL
Yea this worries me. Liverpool will likely only play 2 more Europa games though, can't see them beating Dortmund after seeing what they did to Spurs.
Spurs B team, but I agree. Personally wouldn't want any pool defence but clyne/sakho are the popular options for nailed ons
Sakho and Clyne
Robles Elliot
Bellerin Kos Rojo Sahko Simpson
Sanchez Payet Coutinho Mahrez Lanzini
Luk Kun Kane
0.4iitb. Not sure how i can improve this?Looks good. I assume this is post WC?
Wildcard is active mate.
ozil vs sanchez is my only headache
If WC active then just catch as many rises as you can
Being able to afford that front 3 with the triple ars boys makes me jealous! Maybe upgrade coutinho to firm? Personal preference though with those 2
Yeah thats another tough one. I think Firminos returns are less when sturridge is playing.
And coutinho seems to thrive with sturridge.
Il have another week to decide who to roll with
Looks ok. What are you going to do about GW37? You only have 5 players or so
7 players there with dgw37.
Iv WC'd now. So will have plenty of FTs.
Wil lbe dropping aguero for gw37 and simpson too
Need Alexis for next GW and need Lukaku week after, proving tricky if I'm holding on the WC for 36 as means I'll need to drop Toby to a 3.8 defender.
The mighty steven taylor
In Saylor we trust!
Yeah, looks that way. Problem with that is if Lukaku rises I can't get him still. Bit of a quandry, probably going to be the classic 0.1 short again!
I'm really banking on a Mignolet drop -88 to afford my team, but lukaku shouldn't rise before next weekend. Not many transfers in outside wildcards and they always screw up the system
Market slow and he is at -15 now so might now rise before start of next gameweek
Thoughts on this early WC 33 team? Contains a lot of alternatives to mainstream WC 33 BB 34 sides but I believe all the players here are nailed on to play all their games.
Caballero Elliot
Dawson Rojo Cathcart Sakho Bellerin
Lingard Ozil Alli Mahrez Payet
Aguero Lukaku SturridgeHart might be back.
Sturridge not nailed at all.
Lingard could get dropped with rooneys return
If Sturbridge is fit Klopp will play him, could get a rest before Dortmund game though
Sturridge looked gassed against So'ton after 60 mins and was whipped off. No way he plays twice in a week
What a game so far 😀
From such a dreadful FK!!
2-1 Arg. Goalfest
Argentina 1-2
Everyone come over to TM's. He's having a gaffer and you're invited.
Bring your own alcoholI live next door to Ayew Serious.
I wish 😉
That'll help with the overspill 😉
😀
2 goals no Aguero involvement, typical.
Saving up the goals for us!
He's been doing that for weeks.
Going to prove us all wrong with his away explosion
Can't score away today.
Good leap for a tab end!
Anyone considering Welbeck for DGW 34?
Nope
yes, as below...
(not convinced about it tho)
Why so much love for Robles/Elliot combo? Sure it's cheap but has it got many/any CSs in it?
Rafa's tightening up the defence and Robles has so many games for such a small price 🙂
More of a forced enabler than a want situation
Just so more money can be spent on attacking dgw potential. Might have a few save points in them which could add up in a dgw too
I don't really get the Elliot love over Mignolet to save 0.9m
I think 3 other LIV-slots are valuable.
Eliot may only play 34 & 35 for meYeah I'm more inclined towards Robles/Migs
Robles has the two doubles
Newcastle seem to be improving defensively under Benitez3
Yes, I meant the two in a row sorry
Price and price only i imagine
Robles has 3 dgw's and is 4.3m. Evertons defence isnt great but can get many save points
Elliot is playing in a rafa team fighting for surival. Has a dgw, no blank and is 4.0. Also is a baps magnet in CSs
Is kosc worth the extra $ over monreal?
I've concluded yes.
Absolutely
Is Argentina game on tv?
Scroll up
Roble Eliot
Otam Clich Colem Belle Clyn
Sanch Lanzi Couti Fermi KDB
Wellb Lukak Marti
WCnow / BBDGW34
3 each of LIV / EVE / MCI / ARS seems obvious as want to go all-out-double.
significant improvement made by Kun-omission
What do you say?
(thank you any views welcome)Make a draft with Kun, just so your prepared after he scores a brace against Bournemouth
WC now so that would be too late... 🙂
Ooh, I keep not reading people's post and presuming they're wildcarding in 33
\/ Just ask her \/
Double City defence?!
One or both would go to CHE or MUN after 35...
and best (Ive found so far) for maximising doubleGW34 and 35 without hits
Double city and Everton defence when they're both conceding goals for fun? Could be genius or madness. Could get destroyed by no Kane or Mahrez in particular.
downgrade coleman to jags to save 1m
I could have Rojo in stead of Clish, but MCI rides the barren GW 35 better.
Pick two from:
Rojo, Reid, Jags, McCauley/Olsson*McAuley
McAuley is a poor pick . West Brom have mediocre at best and I would rather have Simpson
The first two
Rojo and Jags
this one
First two but no indication that Rojo is nailed.
Who else gonna play LB now he's fit?
Blind could.
And who plays CB in that case?
Borthwick-Jackson could play LB too. Not far back from injury.
Rojo is nailed when fit. Playing for Argentina now. Watch him
First two
Rojo and Reid
Rojo and Reid/have depending on if you have Robles or not.
*jags not have
Finally I've figured out the compromise between 33, 34, 35 and 37 Gameweeks.
What do you think of it?
DDG-Henn
Smalling- Bellerin - Jagielka - Jaanmat - Simpson
Sanchez - Firmino - Payet - Mahrez - Bolasie
Aguero - Lukaku - Welbeck
0,7 itb
33 - WC (4 daw players)
34 - Bolasie --> Milner
35- DDG ---> Mignolet
that moves give me 7 DGWers for 37 and 2 FT
A keeper change after wildcarding? Cmon.
May play without...but Mignolet has good game in 35. Just think that Man Utd will have more chance for double CS but you're right.
Maybe I just pick Mignolet and upgrade Simpson to Fuchs
Migs / Hennesey
Bellerin / Clichy / Rojo / Moreno / Gabriel
Ozil / Coutinho / Barkley / Antonio / Bolasie
Kun / Kane / Lukaku
Gives 4DGW33
14DGW in 34BB
2FT gets 11 playing in 35
and another 2FT gets 11DGW in 37TC
A bit depends on injuries clearing up and nailedness of defence, which can be assessed in GW32And 10 men in gw 35
Well... right, I had to mix to drafts. My bad
I would have thought 3 LIV would have been part of it (at least from 34 on)
Yep .. Migs, Milner, Firmino. Just made a correct
What's a better combination on a GW33 WC?
A) Robles, Elliot and Smalling + 0.7m
B) DDG, Elliot and ColemanI think Mori is a better pick than Coleman, ignoring price
But A) anyway 😆
Martinez came out and praised Stones' performance vs. Arsenal. So unless they continue in with 3 CB's one of Stones, Jags and Mori will miss out - or they will be rotated.
A
A
I'm going with A
Cheers all! Thinking it's more sensible too, saves precious funds 🙂
I have got Henn and Robles. What an idiot can only get one out for 33. That's it I am bb 33 and not 34. So there.
You can only get one playing in 34 then.
Yeah your right I might have to TC 33 instead. All over Robles!!!! Seriously if I had a WC I could sort it out but can't.
In robles we trust
I am currently on wildcard and would appreciarte some thoughts on these
1. Bolasie or Lanzini (Sanchez Firmino Payet Coutinho)
2. Rojo + Dann or Smalling + Ward ( Kos Bellerin Sahko)
3. Is Rashford too risky of a pick? would enable Elliot to Mignolet
thanksBolasie
Smard
Yes, unless something changes between now and 33 deadlineLanzini
Rojo and dann
Hes a gamble. But could pay off. And Keep elliotId probably transfer dann in gw34 though using ur spare transfer
I could transfer Dann to Smalling
Bolasie, then get Lanzini for DGW37
Rojo and Dann by a mile
Rashford risky if Roonpig is back. Wickham would be good optionthanks all
Kane West Brom (H) on the MNF GW35
He may not be in my team for 34 but sure as hell will be for that
MNF?
Monday Night Football
That may be the week I take a couple hits
He will be straight in!
Defo.. money set aside for it
Even if it requires a hit, I won't care! 😉
He's like Denzel Washington at the minute.. Man on Fire 🙂
For the next game week alone. Which player, in your opinion, is likeliest to have the highest score? (Besides for Kane, Aguero, Arnautovic)
Sanchez or payet
Payet.. Thanks for the heads up. Crystal Palace (H)
Captain material
Wait for Antonio or Lanzini to troll him
Fabregas in fine form could be a contender as could Rashford
I'd agree if Cesc was consistent the past few weeks. It's between Cesc or Payet
Yes Payet of course too
Payet or one of the Chelsea mids.
Agreed. Wish Traore would be given more minutes.
Who would you drop between Arnautovic, Siggy for Cesc or Payet
tough but probably siggy, swansea looked pretty poor against villa from what I saw of it
This team ok for GW34, or should I just WC? It involves 1 hit and I will have Jagielka and Lukaku for GW33. TC during GW33 or GW34
Mignolet
Bellerin - Jagielka - Williams (Simpson, Van Dijk)
Payet - Firmino - Ozil - Mahrez (Alli)
Aguero - Lukaku - KaneAll good
Not a bad idea to WC now in light of the new Everton DGW. Gives you a floating transfer to get in a Palace player for DGW33 then sell prior to DGW34 for someone more useful.
Lukaku TC is now an option for GW33 too.
You'd put the palace player in your wc surely?
Would prefer a Liverpool midfielder in that slot for DGW34. Palace have a terrible DGW34, 33 on the other hand is a different story.
Yeah I mean if you want palace mid for 33 then just put him in the 32 wildcard and sell 34. Why use a ft to bring him in 33?
Thats what I mean. Get him on the 32 WC, sell him with 1FT just prior to GW34
Right, misread.
For instance using a FT to sell Bolasie -> Firmino means you get Bolasie's DGW33 and you avoid having to play Firmino against Spurs
I'd do it now if it wasn't for my ML rivals always copying my moves. I don't want to show my cards until the very last moment.
Talk to me about rashford. What an enabler if he can start vs CPL & AVL
Have you thought about how it can work in GW35? That is the issue
And I doubt he'll be playing regularly by gw37. Waste of another transfer then
Yeah just sell/bench no worries. It's them two brilliant 34 fixtures I'm looking at. Would bench him 32 and 33
Sell for who exactly? in that price range it isn't easy. And would you not have Lukaku and Payet as well? fancy a 541 formation in GW35?
2ft downgrade one player, upgrade rashford. Or just bench for rest of season considering my mid is Alexis ozil coutinho firmino payet. Most likely upgrade him to deeney or someone like that
You'd be limited to Sunderland and Chelsea replacements if you want to make the most of the DGW/game in GW35 situation. I'd seriously look at it and work out your transfers and how many DGWers you'd have in GW37
If
I would love him to start both, hes a no brainer at that price with those 2 home games
Agreed. But GW35 is the issue. Another issue being since he is only 4.6ish you'll have to keep a good bit of money in the kitty to upgrade him
2ft downgrade one, upgrade another. Or bench...
Need more news on Roonpig
Thoughts on Migs and Robles as a pair?
Pretty solid. Robles and Elliot saves you 0.6
0.9 I think actually. But not convinced by Elliot/Newcastle.
Mignolet & Gomes
WAT : ars -336 EVE -78 wba -45 whm -233 [ nor 46 ] AVL 271 liv -146 nor 46 SUN 220
LIV : TOT -203 STO 68 bou 107 EVE 42 NEW 401 swa 124 WAT 146 CHE 20 wba 80(Jagielka)
Decent. But Sakho for 0.1m less gives you more bonus potential. Would probably prefer Elliot over Migs
Migs and Henners for me
One week punt.
A) payet and ivanovic 3-4-3
B) Sanchez and bench fodder. Play AOAA
Thanks mate.
If you don't have or not intending to use BB, then your team doesn't need WC for 33/34
sorry RF to niemi...
