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.
Was relying on both Evans and Friend this week. Hmmm
As am i. Considering just going all out attack to ensure I field 11
Actually this is a great idea.. AOA is made for a time like this
Diomande vs United
Both Amat and Kingsley vs Leicester probably safer. Should save the AOA for near the BB
WC
Far too late in the week.
Desperate times then!
Are we sure Evans wasn't just a Cup injury?
I have no idea, I'm just worried
Dead leg i think Numb should be fine
Hopefully aye
Oh. Not great. AOA
evans was a don't be cuptied injury.
Arsene going all out for EFL cup to leave in style
1FT, 0 ITB, If i was to get rid of Firmino, who to bring in from..
A. Lamela
B. Pogba
C Sterling
D. Townsend
E. None of the above.
Foster/ Jaku
Valencia / Morgan / Stones / Amat / Friend
Hazard / Firmino / Redmond / Barkley / Capoue
Kun / Ibra / Gray
Cheers
E.
Cheers
E, keep Firmino
ok cheers. Think i'll just keep and have 2FTs for the int break
C
E. Save
Cheers
So if Friend is injured, my current bench is Amat (LEI) and Kone (suspended). So...
A) Use FT to get Williams
B) Save FT and let Amat autosub
C) AOA with Capoue (ars), Gray (che) and Deulofeu (STO if he plays)
I think B
B for me.
So, already used my 2ft's so would be a -4.
Opinions please on;
A) Firmino to Barkley
B) Firmino to Sterling
C) Hold and suck up the price drop 🙁
Has to be C)?
C; it's what I'm doing. Was tempted to go Deulofeu->Sterling, but this Friend injury changed that.
C
Gray > Benteke or save FT ?
Save this week.
Thinking this same move. I predict a Chelsea clean sheet so think it may be a decent swap. Will be fun if anything!
Was thinking the same earlier. After some research, I'm waiting on getting Tekkers
Would you start Diomande ahead of any of the following?
Baines (STO) Shaw (hul) McCauley (MID) Stones (WHM)
Nope. All likely to score as much if not more.
Not this week
You reckon he's a decent option going forward or a waste of a striker spot? I had to squeeze Ibra in!
Think he's brilliant value, seriously considering him myself, only thing I'd recommend is if you do get him, get another good value 4th defender like Stones or Williams, then you've always got a reliable option of going 4-4-2 when Hull have a tough game.
Can anyone who is captaining Ibra persuade me that it's a better option than Aguero?
No
Hull has to be a worse defence than West Ham
Not with Kun at home
Nope. Don't listen to anyone. Kun is the fpl king. Trust your instinct. Kun for ever
Hazard on form at home is worth considering no matter who he plays, Burnley is tasty.
Sorry misread question
Either or tbh. I honestly dont think there is much in it. Kun at home? Ibra v Hull. Can Hull hold United. I think thats a step above their previous opponents. I have Ibra (c) atm.
Fergietime
Donegal Daily in conjunction with Michael Murphy Sports and Leisure and Inishowen Motors have decided to set up an incredible EURO 2016 Fantasy Football League.
Inishowen motors were presumably supplying the car so why not contact them and if you don't get the required reply say you go to the press? (not the Donegal daily obviously) 🙂
And if they don't give you one go down for a test drive and hit every other car on the lot with the test drive car, then tell them you can't afford it , it was just a fantasy you had to own one
Haha
Don't know the background of this ....but those sponsors don't sound reliable 🙂
Hi Wildwover, I have been trying to get in contact with Inishowen motors, but they arent replying to my calls, I rang a month ago to ask something about insurance and they never rang back
Go to a rival paper, they will love it 😉 GL
Good idea 🙂 Tks
-------------Jakupovic-------------
---Valencia Williams Stones---
Hazard Ozil Redmond Bolasie
-Aguero Ibrahimovic Benteke-
--------------------------------------------
Pickford Capoue Holding Amat
Wildcard team, one thing I keep switching is;
A: Williams & Ozil
B: Baines & Mane
B at the moment.
Keepers man. They are weak. Ozil to Cazorla. Gives you some spare cash.
Williams and Mane and then Pickford to Foster?
Good shout
Personally A for me.
+ Love the strikers.
+ Ozil & Haz will score big in coming weeks
- Keepers weak (probably doesn't matter too much)
- Not convinced on Bolasie
- Excpect Arsenal to sign a centre back so that rules out Holding.
Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback, Holding is a worry, you think Arsenal will defo sign a CB?
Well they are heavily in the market for one.
Mustafi looks off as Valencia are demanding 50m, but Evans, Mbemba, Tisserand, Manolas & Phil Jones (lol) are linked. I don't know what to believe anymore. I do think they will sign a partner for Koscielny though.
Ok thanks mate, Evans would be brilliant
Also why are you WC'ing so early? Surely your team wasn't in that bad of a state?
Didn't have Ibra, had VVD tying up funds and wasn't up with whole structure. Took a gamble going no Ibra, realised I needed to act fast in order not just to get him, but to get a solid team around him
I like A
Thanks all
Captain for this weekend (in a draft league and sadly this is the best I can do!)
A. Martial (hul)
B. Mané (tot)
C. KDB (WHA)
D. Cech (wat)
C, B, A would be my preference, forget D
Yeah I'm currently on kdb cos he's at home. Cheers.
Hoping to stick with Mané once fixtures get good, I think he's capable of explosive returns
KDB
A
KDB. Doesn't seem as good a fantasy prospect as last year but still better than the other 3. He is capable of anything at home!
2FT
0.5 in the bank
Foster Jak
Shaw Stones Friend Souare Amat
Hazard Martial Townsend Redmond Capoue
Kun Ibra Gray
not sure who to transfer. Martial and Townsend have good fixtures next gameweek.
Friend to someone? I don't think I want to spend the 0.5 on williams but I might be persuaded
Friend is injured, Souare/Townsend in a poor Palace team who can't win or score goals. I'd change Friend, followed by Souare. At least Townsend is a threat, looks their best player, and is very greedy with shots. Hopefully adding Benteke will improve his returns, I have Townsend also.
Thanks. any reccomendation for a 4.5 ish def?
On WC choose one each :
A) Pogba (1m ITB)
B) Ozil
1) Diomande
2) Stuani
Ozil, Diomande. But unless you have a decent 5 man midfield (and therefore will play 352) I would find money to make Diomande into a 6.5 at least.
Ozil & Stuani? I have Capoue as my 5th mid
not wise to play WC before the international break, but if you've done it, then A. Diomande and stuani will soon be wanting to leave your team, so neither.
Had too many problems with my team no Ibra, No hazard. Which one is a better pick Stuani or Diomande?
Which Gray should I play?
A) Andre (che)
D) Demarai (SWA)
A will start, D may well not. If D comes on as a sub I'll only lose 1 point if both blank. A blanking looks likely vs. Chelsea defence. D takes set pieces when he plays, and could get joy vs. Swans backline. If D doesn't play, A is first sub anyway.... Can't decide.
A. In my experience trust the security of starts.
A easily.
A
Nice grav, and I'm on A right now. Will probably stick with him.
Bit of a Gray area 😉
I have to aGray with you there.. I'll see myself out.
Do it Graysiously
You win. Three cheers....
Hip, Hip... Hoogray!
I'm going to give this one to Wild Rover . Big improvement needed imo
Grayt reply. Night all 🙂
Unrelated factoid: Adam West was in Batman: Beware the Gray Ghost.
Thoughts on Firmino + Oscar to Ozil + Townsend.
The later have some great fixtures coming up.
For free? Do it.
Ah no, forgot to add the -4 hit.
I wanna say yes, but I haven't seen any evidence Arsenal have got going properly yet. Might look better on the face of it than it is.
Yeah I hear what you're saying. I'm thinking Firm to Town tonight to avoid the drop and then review the Oscar move with 2 mil ITB later in the week. Will have 9.5 for pick of the bunch then.
I was considering a hit to avoid the drop on Firmino, but that was until Friend was injured and A.Gray might be facing a ban. If I had an FT I'd drop Firmino, poor fixtures and no returns yet (albeit he has good stats), it's a fickle game.
It is indeed a fickle old game. Bad luck with those situations. I've got friend too, but never expected to more than 1-2pt from him anyway. You not got anyone to take his place? Firmino stats do concern me, they're not that bad to be honest. And he scored last night too. But that .1 is the equivalent of a .5 as you can't get anything else in the price bracket just. And I think this season TV will be v important.
I will play Stones, Shaw, Morgan this week. But the Manchester Derby is up next, and Leicester face Liverpool, so that defence needs some surgery.
I agree TV will be very important this year, but I can't stomach a 4pt hit this early for a player who will be starting every week in a good attack. Started badly, could do without the points hits.
Hmmm. Hear what you're saying. Think I'm going to take the plunge. I'll let you know how I get on. Best of luck with it.
Cheers for the advise too. Much appreciated.
Like it. Oscar needs to go regardless!
Yep. He's done nada sofas and will he even start the next?
Is Mirallas nailed for Everton?
I really like the look of him...
Not nailed in my opinion. Good option if getting starts.
Not sure. Could be. But Koemen folded a strong 11 last night and he was benched. Bolasie or Mirallas possibly.
Foster, Jak
Shaw, Evans, Friend, Amat, Kingsley
Hazard, Tadic, Lamela, Feghouli, Capoue
Aguero, Ibra, Vardy
2 FT, 0 ITB, no idea what to do. I guess I'm forced to wait on news re: Friend/Evans now...
Foster (Jaku)
Valencia, Stones, Baines (Amat, Friend)
Lamela, Barkley, Redmond, Hazard (Capoue)
Aguero, Ibra, Gray
0.5 ITB
G2G?
g2g
Start Capoue over Hazard.
Routledge to Bolasie worth -4?
Subs are Friend and Capoue , both doubtful
Capoue is fine.
Would you start Routledge or Capoue then ?
Both are dodgy picks lol
Capoue.
Ta
How is this looking on wc?
foster heaton
shaw stones mcauley soare love
haz sterling tadic firminio capoueu
aguero lukaku negredo?
anything obvious im missing?
can do much better than that if on a WC, Ibra needs to be in there, and preferably an everton defender, everton, arsenal, spurs, west ham all need to be focused on from a WC point of view with their fixtures coming up.
jack wheelchair
Who is more likely to keep more CS in the next couple weeks? Man City or Everton
everton
city, whoever they play wont get a kick...
Everton. Manchester derby in gw4
I'm tempted to go with Diomande over Benteke and plump the cash into defence to give a solid option of 4-4-2 for when Hull have a tough game. On a wildcard though so if I commit to it and Benteke (or any other forward) hits form, I'd be in trouble. What do you think?
I think this is a bad idea
+1
+1
Stick with Tekkers.
Cheers lads
Jaku or Heaton this week?
Heaton
Cheers
Jakupovic
Just got Ibra this week so i'm leaning on Heaton.
Got no choice. Heaton it is. See below 🙁
Ah well. Amat v Leicester ain't so bad
how hard is it to get a jackpot in a fruit machine nowadays,on holiday in Yarmouth and ive done about £140 in the fruities today,i reckon they are fixed...
Anyone playing Snodgrass this week?
united away
My first sub, just curious.
Me when I've used all my free transfers and firmino is set to fall in price tonight
https://media1.giphy.com/media/8PnbQkG5uCl0s/giphy.gif
I'm with you.
The price drops a bummer, but it's all about the points. Hope he comes good.
Then Firmino goes and scores a brace and trolls the sellers
Or he doesn't and he falls even deeper?
Oh my God, George, I just found out. Are you ok? 🙁
Feeeeeck. Did Firmino to Barkely but didnt remember that I had been playing with DDG out to someone cheaper to see what the extra cash could do for me. Pressed Make transfers not noticing i had Heaton still in goal. To my horror it showed my team -8 with Heaton in goal when it went back to my team. 🙁 Ffs.
Ouch.. not ideal.. tbf that's gotta be the worst hit in history
Im bloody steaming.
WC? Might make you feel better about yourself
Dear god so what transfers did you do then?
Oi Oi.. how are we all? All set for GW3?
On -4 because of Benteke, Redmond and Capue and it seems like I will have to play Amat or Mee because of Friend.
What's happened to Redmond?
Amat I'd probably play
Nothing, I bought him. But it seems I was wrong as you are going to sign Bouffal and Redmond might lose his place.
