In the first of a number of members articles over the international break, we delve into the data from the Gameweek gone by. Palace’s approach with Christian Benteke arrives under the radar, whilst we also take a look at Paul Pogba’s first away outing for United, Chelsea’s in-form attacking duo and the performance of City’s playmaker in the weekend win over West Ham.
Love these articles.
Big
Love pointless top posts.
😉
So much that you post before even reading it 😀
Lol you say this every time. That's the joke though isn't it
Agreed, just hope some of it translates into points.
Those wildcarding who are you backing to double rise?
Sanchez
Cazorla
Benteke
Ozil
Negredo?
Sanchez sterling
alexis
Sanchez sterling lukaku
Sterling
5 shots in the box for that striker is a good sign. Lovely fixture next too.
Same wavelength
who?
bps avoid him like the plague and other issues
Papa!!
Post WC
Foster Heaton
Valencia Williams McAuley 4.5 Amat
Hazard Ozil Sterling Redmond Capoue
Zlatan Lukaku Benteke
Leaves 1m ITB
Thoughts?
Aguero return plan
Lukaku plus Sterling to Aguero and 5.5mid
Id rather use the 1m and move redmond to lamela/antonio
Thanks Pkw for the reply
Initially had Lamela but that affects my Aguero return plan so had to save.
Any viable Aguero plan you can find?
Agree antonio
Well, then his Agüero return plan needs to involve a £4.5 midfielder instead of a £5.5. Clearly there are more options in the second category (Puncheon, for instance).
Your team looks good, Ronhaar. Nice to see a proper backup keeper in it. I’m considering a similar wildcard team myself. Do you think Valencia will be ready for the City game after international duty?
I like those tekker numbers
079 him.
Stop letting non members know our shizzle.
Would you WC now with this squad? Tadic and Kun the main exits if taking a hit.
Valdes
Kone Stones Shaw
Townsend Haz Lamela Tadic
Ibra Negredo Kun
Foster, Friend, Watson Souare
Just wondering what everyones Squad value and in the bank value is combined already, currently at £101.2, where does this lie in relation to the average?
Average for here
Would you remove Diomande or Ramiez for a hit? Lot of cash itb after Kun gone.
Hull have Burnley so would keep Diomande
Wilshere considering loan offers from Watford, Palace, Bournemouth, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica.
Birthday and Christmas has come at once for Spurs fans
Haha!!
He is an irritating little ****, but don't wish injury blighted career on anyone.
Was still hoping he came good for england's sake but seen little sign of it in recent times.
Toooooo many options! Spare 2 seconds of your time to help a man out.
a) Tekkers, Gray and Sanchez (no hit)
b) Costa, Gray and Ozil (no hit)
c) Tekkers, Lukaku and Ozil (-4)
d) Tekkers, Negredo/Defoe and Sanchez (-4)c
c
Ooooh replies! Thanking you!
A if Gray doesnt get banned
B if you have Barkley and Gray doesn't get ban in the near future.
Tadic and Kun to Antonio and Lukaku? -4
''Chelsea make £30m bid for former defender David Luiz.'' - Sky
Chances fo that one happening? 🙂Can't see why PSG would sell.
Indeed. I think it's too late, PSG would have to search for a replacement, they certainly don't need the money and I can't see his desire to re-join them being so big that he'd force a move away from a CL club for Chelsea.
Maybe Chelsea will try for someone else.
Sakho to make a triumphant return?
Seemed that the chances were good, however, this was just tweeted:
@GFFN
Breaking | PSG have barred David Luiz from joining Chelsea, despite the player wanting the move, according to @HugoGuillemet. (L'Équipe)I doubt his wish to join Chelsea is big enough to force out an exit now, at the same time he's not worth the kind of money PSG would potentially wish to get for him.
Matt Law who's a highly reputable Chelsea source has denied this. Said Chelsea never made a bid.
He also made it clear he wasn't sure what was really going on.
"I hope I don't look silly tomorrow" or something wasn't it? Lol.
Try again on the "current" article....
For whoever was thinking about Rooney.
Some words from Jose languishing in the sports pages of the Daily Star. Worth reading as it gives a nice insight to his thoughts maybe. ..http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/541645/Jose-Mourinho-Wayne-Rooney-droppedGood spot. Should help a few.
Yeah. He says a lot there by his normal evasive standards.
Pogba in the hole would be awesome 🙂
Zlatan is the man from manu to have.
At the end of the article though it quotes Mourinho saying: "And when I put him playing from the outside, with the two strikers in the middle, him and Mkhitaryan developed a lot of our attacking waves, so I’m very happy with him."
Yes it does.
It just shows that perhaps the United line up is very much still a work in progress. I think he meant Rashford and Ibra as strikers with Rooney and Mki coming in from the channels....with Valencia and Shaw being the wingers (in effect).
Mata could be worried about that and Martial....Mkhi would be a better pick than Rooney as he's listed as a mid doing the same job as Rooney.
Hadn't considered him but adds to Pogba and Mkhi allure.
Best 4.5 mid bench fodder for those on WC?
A) Rodwell
B) Hojbjerg
C) Fletcher
D) otherCapoue
So where is Wilshere off to do we reckon?
Petrol station for 20 Benson & Hedges.
Maybe a six pack too.
Clubs mentioned above via Sky Sports.
The physio?
likely outcome on gray?? my wc decision depends on him and whether he gets banned
Ha. See below. Suspect there's plenty in same boat.
Havnt been keen to WC but starting to sway now esp if gray also gets banned...
Foster --- Jaku**
valencia stones** friend souare** pieters
hazard redmond firmino townsend* capoue
kun* ibra gray*
*players i need to get rid (kun/townsend/most likely gray)
**players i want to get rid (stones, jaku, souare)
initially was thinking townsend + kun >> ozil + kaku (-4) but if gray is also banned, might as well WC?I think a ban for gray means I more or less have to wc.
Should I just do it now and try to catch the price rises?lol sigh...view my team above. thoughts?
Quite similar to my current tesm. Pieters close to a drop so beware.
I will try to shoehorn Costa and ozil as I have terrible experience with lukaku.
The International break scares me, reluctant to make a move now with a potential of two competitive Internationals for some players
No WC to repair damages?
yes but don't want to use it.
Please rate or fix this wildcard team:
Heaton Foster
Shaw Valencia Jagielka McAuley Amat
Hazard Sanchez Sterling Fer Capoue
Ibra Lukaku DefoeIt's pretty good. I'd reconsider Jagielka.
How come, who for then?
Williams
This is definitely my favourite article, reminds me why I pay my subscription every year whenever I read it. Just hope that if I follow some of the stats it translates into points and so still provides an edge.
2 week punt:
A) Lukaku and Nolito
B) Vardy and Barkley
?????B
Thanks
A
Sanchez not going to rise? He was on 96% on FPL statistics but gone down to 89% ?
I see that, doesnt make sense
Maybe peoples in wildcard avoid him because they think Sanchez is not playing as a striker anymore. Perez already in Emirates.
Foster, Jaku
Shaw, Williams, Stones, Friend, Amat
Haz, Barkley, Townsend, Redmond, Capoue
Kun, Ibra, Rondon
A) WC
B) Kun & Townsend/Redmond > Costa/Lukaku & Sanchez for -4
If B who would you choose?
Thanksin a similar dilemma to yours....similar team.
i have gray which makes it worse (or easier) as i think i will def WC if gets banned
Costa and sanchez
Those Benteke numbers are horrible.
City folk, how do you see them lining up without Aguero? 4141?
Fernandinho
Sterling KDB Silva Nolito
Ihenacho
false 9
nacho wont startCheers for the reply. Hope it is good news for one of those four mids.
Lots of CP love
Axel Witsel to #Juventus! €18M€ + add ons to Zenit, tomorrow he'll have medicals in Italy. Agreement reached. #transfers
Juventus are boss.
They're amazing. Get these deals done with few rumors, cheap price, and speed. Crazy.
Huge fan of how they operate.
They're definitely putting together a team now that might actually be able to beat a Barcelona in the CL.
Could be a real force again in the CL this season once everyone is clicking.
Still have Marchisio to return as well.
RPRMWCT
Heaton
Baines Valencia McAuley
Hazard Ozil Payet Lamela
Ibrahimovic Lukaku Negredo
Pickford Copoue Amat 4.5
Couple of questions
A - Foster
Or
B - Heaton
Best 4.5 to rotate with McAuley?
Any obvious changes to this team?
