We delve into the Gameweek data now in our first members article of the week. Amongst this evening’s topics for analysis are Liverpool, Stoke and Southampton’s midfielders, Swansea and West Brom’s frontmen, Man United’s full-backs and Palace’s summer signing with a penchant for a pot shot.
Play three:
(A) Valencia (SOU)
(B) Stones (stk)
(C) Amat (HUL)
(D) Evans (EVE)
(E) Friend (sun)

Have the same 5 and still puzzled 🙂
Is Barkley on pens??do we expect him to play like last wk every week??
Based off last season Barkley is pretty patchy, so if you've got him you got to be prepared to drop him fast
I'd be shocked to see him on pens, but yes, he'll play every week.
Doubt it...but a good pick any way for now....
On the verge of doing ayew -- Barkley instead of lamela. A
Have tadic so don't wanna double up with redmond and their fixtures are tricky imo.Ok
2900 currently qualified for GW2 of LMS
43 or over qualifies to join the competition. 🙂Maybe this will be my year
Wrong team. 😛
You had your moment winning Elite 64 from memory?I'm greedy.
Hmm, what do you mean Wrong team?
I updated my ID number in my link and my league page shows that I'm in?Wrong Merseyside team 😉
Sez you….
🙂
Firmino's going to smash it v Burnley
Would be very unsurprising if so.
I swapped him for Coutinho, so yes 🙂
Commiserations
Who thinks Giroud is worth a shout? Arsenal fixtures look promising after the Leicester game. With Ozil and Sanchez he could be worth something. He ain't an Aguero or Ibra for sure, but he usually pops up with the odd goal
I do. Think one of him, Lukaku, and Rooney will be a very steady stream of points over the next 6ish gameweeks. Idk which though 🙂
I agree, everyone's overlooking these 9m strikers. Nice differential picks for the second spot up top imo
I was thinking third.. 😀
Haha fair enough. I've got a few heavy hitter mids so trying to free up cash. I want to have the option of alternating between 3-5-2 and 3-4-3 depending of fixtures
Odd goal?...more than the odd goal surely. He ain't Aguero but he's always worth a punt.
He's like Lukakau...we just get him at the wrong times somehow...Very true.
Eh... It's a wait and see for me
Donkey is always gonna donk
He'll produce more than just the odd goal.
Even Ibra hasn't been convincing yet and you're thinking about Giroud...
Chances of...
Costa > Italy
Lukaku > Chelsea
Rondon > Barca0
0
0Oddly I think the last one may have the best chance.
?...*Costa > Spain...doh...
Pick 2.
A. Friend (sun)
B. Kingsley (HULL)
C. Amat (HULL)
D. Capoue (CHE)DC
Srs? I have A, B!
Good chance B won't play if Naylor is back
AC
De Roon to Capoue on a free transfer??? (It's the #5 spot, unlikely to get a start any time soon)
You answered your own question in the ( )
I wouldn't bother. Save FT and do it next week if you don't have anything more pressing to sort. Why make a transfer to bench the incoming player?
I suppose the only reason is for price increases... Total team value, backups, and occasional 3-5-2 weeks.
Then why waste the transfer?
Thanks. It's true, I probably knew the answer just need a bit of support
Play Foster (EVE) or Jaku (swa) this GW?
Foster
Thinking of Ayew -> Capoue. Allows Ibe -> Martial next week if Ibe blanks again... Other mids are Hazard, Redmond and Deulofeu.
No point using the transfer for someone who will sit on the bench. Save and reassess next week with two.
Definitely this.
This
Cheers guys... just the nudge I needed.
Not worried about a drop for Ayew though?
Would suggest a re-think on Deulofeu as well, what with the Bolaise transfer and Lukaku staying
best 4.0-4.5 def pls? thnx take into consideration cost benefit of extra .5 as it seems both amat and kigsley are nailed.
1.would one go double swa or wba defence?
a. evans
b. pieters
c. kingsley
d. amatAmat if you need the 0.5
Evans otherwiseEvans. Swansea's fixtures are pretty terrible after this week, so it's not a long-term solution.
Kingsley isn't nailed, he's worth 1-2 weeks at most. Once Taylor is back he'll be dropped
thnx all.
so kingsley not nailed for sure once taylor bak? f so best amat if 1 of the 2...
already have mccauley, so go double w evans? thnxprobably Amat then. Not sure I'd go so far as to double on Brom defense. Fixtures good for a while, but when they turn you could be in bad spot.
Ayew replacement help please.
A) Redmond (OOP)
B) Lamela (have Kane)
C) Tadic (I remember his haul vs Sunderland in 2014/15 fondly)
D) Barkley (those fixtures!)A
Tadic
Tadic.
Tadic or Redmond
Well that sure settles that
🙂Yea, gets it down to a Southampton player. Coin toss?
That and budget.
Tadic would leave 0 ITB. Redmond 1.5.
A
Just checked the Rondon > Barca story....plenty of ink spilt but not sure if it's all the same story repeated... No good source really.
As above....zero... 🙂
You're avin a larf
No...i'm just the messenger btw. They're looking for a bench warmer for Sanchez and co....
Jaysus I need to make a bloody decision.
Ayew to Barkley or lamela.
Fixtures are similar maybe Everton slightly easier but can ya trust Barkley to be consistent??
Lamela great pre season and looked good v Everton.Barkley....
I feel better about Lamela. Once Lukaku is back I fear that Barkley will be pushed back to receiving the ball deep and disappearing for multiple matches at a time.
Lamela
As I said above, Barkley is pretty patchy. Tbh I can't say Lamela is much better either. Can't you go with someone like Tadic, or do you already have Redmond?
^ This...
Already have redmond. That's why I'm limited with who to get. Have Haz and firmino too.
Has to one of the above mentioned.
Lamela
bench 1:
a) Valencia (SOU)
b) Stones (stk)
c) Amat (HUL)
d) Friend (sun)D
Anyone know if lukaku is playing this week?
Which trade is best?
A Vardy to Lukaku
B Gray to Carroll
C saveWait for presser, but I'd expect Lukaku back, from what we've heard so far.
If not certain, though, save.Thanks mate
C.
Even if he's back, Vardy at home to Arsenal is better than a rusty Lukaku on the road to West Brom.
You might be right. Lukaku has a good run of fixtures and pens though. Sucks Vardy lost them
So make that transfer next week if Lukaku looks good and Vardy blanks. There's no need to rush it for this week.
The City midfield is driving me crazy! I'm sure they'll score tons of goals once Pep gets them playing his way, I just don't know who's nailed and who's the best option! Leaning towards Sterling atm, he's looked lively and Pep seems to favor him
Sterling on the watch list but wait and see in my opinion
Or do we just "want" Pep to favor him. Can't tell for sure.
Price Changes - 18th August 2016
Risers : Fer
Fallers : Fabregas, B.Traore, Rashford
Thanks, TM.
Fábregas is even more of a bargain, then.
If he gets in the team he is. A player that had 3 goals and 20 assists in the PL the season before last? Even last season when Chelsea struggled he had 5 goals and 7 assists.
Those are more than decent returns for a 7.4m player. But only if he's a regular starter.
FPL Price Changes
18 August 2016
Risers: Fer
Fallers: Fabregas, Traore, Rashford😀
Caveman paintings?
Bench 1 ... ?
a) redmond - away to man u
b) stones - away to stoke
c) amat - home to hull
TnksNever a)
b) equals ownership and c) more of a clean sheet chance.Think I might bench B
Why not A?
Do you expect 2 clean sheets for one?
I think so. Man Utd at home are hard to break down, and Stones/Amat have a better chance of keeping a CS then Redmond scoring/assisting
The attacker normally has a way higher ceiling. No Kompany means no CS normally for MC. Stoke beat them last season at home so know what to expect.
Maybe C
B for me.
C
B
Play 2 out of:
Friend, Valencia, Tadic, RedmondTadic Valencia
That's an odd mix. Who are your other defenders and midfielders to be faced with that decision?
Defence: Stones Azpi Baines Friend Valencia
Mids: Firmino Mahrez Townsend Tadic Redmond
Damn that's expensive forward line must be weak
Aguero Carroll Gray
Whoa, that's an expensive defense. Your forwards can't be strong across the board with so much money tied up in defense and midfield. Surely your third forward isn't as good as Redmond or Townsend (who is the one you should be benching, by the way; not Redmond).
Forwards are Kun Carroll Gray, which I'm happy with for the time being. So play Tadic & Redmond, and bench Valencia and Friend?
I'd bench Friend and Townsend, personally.
Cheers.
I'd play Valencia before stones. Stones offers next to nothing going forward
Play Valencia, Tadic and Redmond?
Chances of Byram starting this weekend? Considering he came on for Antonio just after half time must mean sometthing
Team news still going for Antonio. Antonio gave away the penalty and had his head down.
Hmm true , Collins the safest west ham defender at 4.5?....
Ogbonna could easily replace him to call him safe.
Yeah might steer clear for the time being
They play tonight night get a clue then
might
RMT :
Mannone
Walker/Stones/McAuley
Martial/Alli/Firmino/Townsend
Aguero/Vardy/Long
Bench : Valdes/Capoue/Pieters/Francis
1. Vardy > Costa
2. Long > Rondon
3. Safe
I'd save.
Vardy / Eriksen
to
Ibra / Lamela -4
yay or nayI quite like these transfers, especially if you intend to captain Ibrahimovic.
No need to do it this week. I think Soton's defense is a lot more stout than Arsenal's, so this feels a little unnecessary to me.
Elaine Thompson the female bolt
Willian or Oscar in for Fab?
Don't like either rather lamela if you don't own
thanks..
Only Chels mis to consider is Hazard
Would you play Amat over Townsend or Tadic?
I like Amat over Townsend, actually.
I wouldn't.
best combo?
1. Fer + Negredo
2. Lamela + Vaencia
rest of team
Mahrez -- Haz -- Cout -- (Capoue)
Aguero -- Zlatan --2 easily
Can you afford Kane and Sanchez
thnx
Best defender for 5.5 or less ?
Have valencia / stones / amat / friend....
TnksWalker
Not terry ??
Terry is a good choice too, but won't get much attacking points.
dawson is the best option
RMT keeper De Gea
defenders;shaw,dawson,vvd,stones
mid;mikhi,hazard,sane,eriksen and fletcher
forwards;lukaku,costa gray
who should i transfer in for sane and mikhi probably because he dos'nt start?almost forgot,have jakupovic n lenihan bench
For your Sane and Mkhitaryan replacements, I'd say get Firmino and then one of Lamela or Barkley, I'd choose Lamela.
Otherwise team looks good 🙂
