We delve into the Gameweek 2 data this Wednesday evening in the first members article of the week. Man United and Sunderland’s new midfielders impress on their first starts, Eden Hazard and Harry Kane’s contrasting fortunes arrive under analysis, whilst Michail Antonio thrives on his return to the Hammers’ flank.
Heaton (Jaku)
Morgan Evans Stones (Friend Pieters)
Tadic Mahrez Hazard Ramirez (Capoue)
Aguero Zlatan Gray
Having Friend and Evans potentially out is a worry but I have 2 FT so do I -
A) Friend and Evans > Amat and £5m DF (thinking Williams)
B) Friend > Souare and keep a FT
C) play AOA and make no transfers?
just play Pieters and use 1 FT to replace Friend
B
Evans may play .. wait till Friday then decide
If you have 2FT then make at least one!
I haven't looked at 4.5 options but there must be better than souare? Would say McAuley but he rose
I think Souare is a good route into palace defence with plum fixtures and now the ability to cross into bentekkers
Foster
Stones/Shaw/Friend
Hazard/Lamela/Redmond/Mahrez
Ibra/Aguero/Gray
Jaku/Capoue/Wollscheid/Amat
Already used 1 transfter on bringing in Amat
1FT left. 0ITB
If Friend is ruled out. Thinking of bringing in Palace/Bournemouth defender in for Wollscheid.
Souare likely
What about Targett?
Not nailed and their fixtures aren't that good ... souare or holding ( if they don't sign another defender) are better
thanks mate. Southampton have been very good defensively. Very low xG
https://public.tableau.com/profile/scott.willis#!/vizhome/PremierLeagueTeamStats2016-17/TeamCountingStats
A. Gray→Benteke or Rondon
Or
B. Save ft
b
If tekkers or rondon ??? Tekkers eh!
Dont fall for the Rondon trap. I know the stats are good but West Brom hate goals
Haha ... stats got me thinking yeah .
Would you go tekkers this early??
No chance. He hasnt played for like a year. Give him 2 or 3 full 90
Is Targett starting because Bertrand is injured? Chances of Targett playing this weekend?
I own Targett and awaiting news. Bertrand was due to recover from injury this week but hasn't had any minutes yet so hopefully Targett keeps his place for this weekend.
If you own him keep, if not then I'd look elsewhere.
interesting. Thanks mate. Still thinking of bringing him in just for this week
He'll definitely start this week. There's not even been a hint that Bertrand is back in training yet, let alone match fit having not played at all in preseason.
▼▼ a hint
Bertrand back in trainin
Hazard & Sterling or Payet & Ozil
Try to fit Hazard and one of payet/ozil !!
Haz & Ster
Hazard and Payet, otherwise Haz and Sterling for me
I ve gone Hazard and Giroud
Ok, I've already used my WC earlier this week, just put Amat in for a 4.5 defender so now the decision has become
Hazard/Payet/Rondon/4.5def
Hazard/Sterling/Rondon/Williams (1.3ITB)
Hazard/Payet/Long/
*Last one is meant to say Hazard/Payet/Long/Williams
Best replacement for Deulofeu?
A. Bolasie
B. Townsend
C. Other (Please suggest)
I have 2 FT but plan on keeping 1 to have 2FT after international break.
Also.
1. Keep Gray,
2. Use the second transfer to get someone else?
Thanks
I wanted something crazy deu→Snodgrass and gray→ Benteke .... anyway if you dont wanna tekkers go with b and try to get barks/lukaku next week
Benteke is in my thinking but I thought it might be a lot clearer after international break would of done ramirez and benteke. Looks like townsend and then evaluate the transfers after though i will keep an eye on the press conference for palace
C. Redmond if you don't have already. Else
B.Townsend
1. Wait until break
I do have redmond and cheers
1. & I'm considering Bojan, subject to form and whether Deu/Gray continue starting.
Townsend
Valdes
Bailly/Alderweireld/Morgan
Boyd/Redmond/Lamele/Hazard
Negredo/Zlatan/Kun
Subs:Valdes,Amat,Fletcher,Sagna
My line-up for gameweek 3,is it ok?
GTG?
DDG
Valencia-VVD-Friend-Evans
Hazard-Barkley-Tadic
Aguero(C)-Ibra-Gray
Heaton-Fletcher-Routledge-Amat
ITB 0.1
FT 0
Did Alli>Barkley and Vardy>Ibra
Downgrade DDG (but keep Valencia) and upgrade Routledge then your GTG
Cheers mate. Who is worth the hit ? Any change now is now -4.
firmino or coutinho?
Mane
Coutinho
Coutinho. Boy loves to have a go at goal
Mane
I have coutinho btw
What do you guys think of Chamberlain? How is he likely to do in future?
Fuggedabouthim
Would you prefer Heaton or Foster for the whole season?
Foster for me though there is a case for heaton
Foster more team reliable. Heaton for saves.
Foster
i have foster so foster, but only because i got him
Foster
Heaton, but for next 5 games 100% Foster
Just rotate them like me. Works perfect. Bench Foster for his 10 pointer GW1 and bench Heaton for his 10 pointer GW 2. Works a charm
Heaton. He is a season keeper
What would you prefer?
Shaw + Lamela -> Baines + Pogba
OR
deGea + Snodgrass -> Hennessy + Pogba
Looking at ways to get Pogba in..
Eriksen > ??
A) Walcott
B) Cazorla
C) Chamberlain
D) Any Other
Will have 9.3 for the transfer. I am really confused about swapping him out as well.
Should I just keep him?
I would rather have Eriksen than thoose Arsenal players (conserned about their gametime). Would considering Pogba or just keeping Eriksen.
I am not sure about Pogba immediately and United has pretty tough fixtures compared to Spurs or Arsenal.
Its hard to predict tough fixture for team like United or City, even Arsenal or spurs.
Schmeichel - Jaku
Evans* - Friend* - Stones - Amat - Shaw
Hazard - Townsend - Tadic - Firmino - Fletcher
Kun - Gray - Kane
How to fit in Zlatan? 0.0 ITB, 2 FT.
Could do Kane + Tadic -> Zlatan + Redmond?
Other suggestions?
Might be firmino→Barkley ?
0.1 short... And also think Firmino could come good.
Me too 😀
Probably tadic then if you need ibra badly ... tadic stats are amazing that's why I'm hesitating
Same here. Could do something as Schmeichel + Stones + Kane -> Heaton + Collins/4.5 + Zlatan for -4, but dont know if its worth it.
Losing Firmino is your only decent option. Go for Bolasie?
Yeah, might just do that. Thanks.
WC
Foster (Jak)
Shaw, Walker, Williams, Holding (Amat)
Hazard, Bolasie, Ozil (Snoddy, Capoue)
Kun, Ibra, Negredo
0.3m in bank
G2G? Any suggestions?
had to do barkley to bolasie...
Sterling + Barkley or Bolasie + Ozil?
Can you be sure bolasie & ozil will start and get minutes?
Nope, that is why I am asking!
I want a deulofeu replacement. Personally don't see the logic of getting in another rotation risk in bolasie/mirallas).
I'd like Ozil in but will wait until he's consistent. I'd rather lose one game's points than get one point for 18 mins.
I don't generally like Liverpool players in my squad; points spread too widely and rotation.
Find Barkley's form a bit surprising, but it is what it is.
Not Liverpool is it - early brain fog.
Consider it next week Bol and Oz
Today's press conferences
Stoke - 08:30
Liverpool - 10:00
Spurs - 12:30
Burnley - 13:45
Everton & Southampton - 14:00
Swansea - 14:15
Leicester - 14:30
cheers
Always appreciated, cheers.
Good morning!
Evans -Friend - Kone rotation worked out well then .. 🙁 Anyone else holding these playing AoA chip this GW? And what's with Kone, will he get his place back?
Kone will be either playing for Sunderland or Everton very soon as there is nothing wrong with him. Don't get why so many are selling
Thanks - might just hold until the sitatuion is clear then. Doesn't seem to be dropping in value yet.
Hope you're right, he's stinking up my bench
I'm on Friend and Kone. Probably AOA'ing this GW, since I also have Amat :-/ Even if the former two were fit, AOA would still be a good idea.
Two to bench from Valencia, Stones, Williams, McAuley, Amat? (currently last two)
Stones/ Amat
for me mcauley over stones. wba have settled defence, they played for some time together. city can lose more than 1 against hammers
Cheers both. Was thinking about it from perspective of opposition (hammers squad problems). Will have another think.
Amat and valencia
Agree with Valencia on away fixture, but in as much for attack/bp potential as clean sheets. Feel I have to start him against Hull.
Amat and Williams, because ... will he play 90mins?
a) Hojberg (SUN)
b) Gray (che)
Defensive mid over a striker feel wrong but I'm thinking Hoj=3pts / Gray 2pts
Gray will bully Chelsea. Not impressed with them at all.
This is not how its work this game. Just play Gray.
If you think that little of Gray you should sell him
Should I sell Vardy > Costa or Kane? Already have Hazard.
Or wait till after international break?
Wait
international break seems most reasonable moment to transfer or work around team. injuries may happen, end of transfer window, gw3 may say us something about how settled the teams are. if you dont have aguero/ibra it may hurt anyways, both are on 50% ownership, but i would save with one of those moves
Capoue has scored more goals in two games this season than he has scored in the combined previous 3 seasons
1 - any explanation ?
2 - can it continue ?
3 - will he rival Kun and Ibra for the armband ?
Positional change.
He looks a great cheap mid but that is all.
1. position
2. yes/no
3. defo!
1. Been allowed more attacking freedom this year, turns out he is alright at attacking
2. Potentially, although may be more restricted with Pereyra coming into the team now
3. Definitely not, I don't think anyone can with their form at the moment
Hi folks....got 1 ft and 1.4 its but want to save it ideally till after int break....
Am I ok to play this lot this weekend?
Is it worth benching amat and playing aoa??
Foster (jaku)
Valencia stones friend (amat in friend unfit...kone)
Hazard firmino lamela ramirez (capoue)
Kun ibra gray
Views Appreciated...thanks
Morning guys,
What do ye think of my team for gw 3 ..?
foster - (jaku)
azpil - valencia - stones - (amat, friend)
hazard - barkley - townsend - redmond - (capoue)
aguero - ibra - rondon
Any feedback appreciated
Tnks
Nothing wrong with it (Friend is injured apparently).
Are you on a wildcard or have any transfers?
Yeah heard the news on friend.
I used my free transfer by doing firmino > barkley
What you do ?
Nice team. Same as mine except I have Gray over Rondon and Fuchs over Azpi. Midfield *should* score big this week.
collins nailed for whu?
4.0 defender with the most chance of breaking in the team ?
Collins never really nailed but injuries means he plays at the moment
Love Amat Kingsley
Check the 'minutes played' on the stats - lots of options
Are you asking us to predict injuries?
*Calls Roy Keane on the bat phone*
no thought maybe aguy looked like he could break in , wishful thinking 😛
Nope
GTG?
Foster
Shaw Morgan Evans
Haz Firm Redmond Lamela
Kun Ibra Gray
Jaku Stones Capoue Friends
0 ITB 2 FT
Amazing how you have a sweet team and 2FT
But surely using one of them makes sense?
Even if its a boring move like ditching friend
Friend to who? 4.5 ITB.
Season ticker. Sort by defense. Use 5-6 weeks. There are at least 2 guys on the first 3 teams. One should be nailed.
Why already transfer him? How long he will be out?
Just a game tbh
Have 2FT's and nothing else to use them on tbh. Is Holgate set to continue to start for a while until Coleman returns I assume?
What are peeps doing with friend ?
sell or keep ?
Selling. Boro defence is mediocre and there are plenty of 4.5m def options elsewhere
keep.
Sold for McAuley
Redmond and Long (then long to Tekkers after internationals)
Redmond and Tekkers
Tadic and Long (long to ? After internationals
Help a geezer out
Pogba to explode ?
