Our next members article of the week takes a closer look at goal threat from the back. We focus on Fantasy Premier League defenders priced at 5.0 or below as we delve into the Opta data in an attempt to seek out value in our five-man backlines.
i have a feeling that Ozil and Sanchez will be this year's SAS. If both of them clicked this week too then i am transferring the one that i left this time.
Viva la OAS.
Then what of Hazard, Ibra and Aguero? Which pen taker from the top team misses out?
well theres always one or two teams which dominate the league as in score three or more goals week in week out. We will get the clear picture soon as the league move on.
I know what youre trying to say but I wouldnt feel comfortable without any of the above
that is where i love this game, the sooner you realise something the better. Limitation is the key word and overthinking is a cruel word.
Nah
Struggling a bit again;
a/ Sanchez Sterling deRoon Williams
b/ Ozil Mane Capoue BainesProbably B. Just.
B

Thanks guys - what I'm currently going for
Kelechi Iheanacho - will he start?
Nobody knows. Will have to wait and see what Pep says.
yes
REPOST
Current front 8: 1FT
Townsend Redmond Lamela Barkley Hazard
Ibra Diamonde Aguero*
Which is better?
A- Aguero > Lukaku, play Townsend and bench Redmond
B- Aguero + Townsend > Lukaku + Ozil (-4), bench Redmond
B for me
B imo
Any news on Valencia and Friend? How likely are they to play?
In my expert opinion, I would say 100% and 90% likely, respectively.
Valencia is fit, its his travel programme which might keep him out. will know on friday probably
no news on friend
Heaton is a better option than Foster for GW4, correct?
go with the bookies odds on who's more likely to keep a cs
thoughts on this WC team?
Sanchez out for 7.0 mid to fund Lukaku to Aguero
Foster / Pickford
Collins / Evans / Williams / Valencia / Amat
Hazard / Ozil / Sanchez / Snodgrass / Capoue
Aguero / Lukaku / Zaza
Punting on Zaza with Wham's fixtures
You have Aguero in your wc team
oooof. sorry about that. thats IBRA
Shaw's precautionary withdrawal news came at wrong moment.. he was very close to price rise .......
Yup !
It's not that what annoys me really, he isn't/wasn't injured and still FPL flagged him. As soon as the flag is removed, he's back to zero.
It's an extremely common occurrence for International Gameweeks. Some you win, some you lose - has happened to Pickford too.
Please RMT! I have used my FT to get Costa. No Arsenal cover is worrying.
Heaton
Valencia - Baines - Stones
Townsend - Hazard - Barkley - Redmond
Costa (C) - Ibra - Gray
Subs: Foster, Capoue, Friend (if injured), Amat
no arsenal cover is definately worrying.
This front 8 when Aguero is back? would cost me -4
Ozil, Hazard, Sterling, Capoue, De Roon
Ageuro, Ibra, Diamondediomande is dead as an fpl option now with 2 strikers theyve signed. you''d be playing capoue every week
damn and blast!
Surely it is his place to lose though?Consider it lost
Is Diomande really on borrowed time with the new strikers they have brought in? if so what about Stuani as a replacement?
no thanks
That's terrible. You're playing Diomande and Capoue every week, which is awful. What's your defence like?
You can't retain Sterling
Pick one
Team A
Foster Pickford
Valencia KONE Collins Pieters Amat
Hazard Sanchez FIRMINO Antonio Fletcher
Ibra Costa GRAY/REMY/RONDON
TEAM B
Foster Pickford
Valencia KONE Collins Pieters Amat
Hazard Sanchez MANE Antonio Fletcher
Ibra Costa HERNANDEZ/VOKES
TEAM C
Foster Pickford
Valencia WILLIAMS Pieters Collins Amat
Hazard Sanchez FIRMINO Antonio Fletcher
Ibra Costa HERNANDEZ/VOKES
Probably C if I had to pick one

What does 'Gray requests a personal hearing" means for us Gray owners guys?
SHould we expect the FA to accept and schedule it? under which timeframe? Does that mean decision is on hold for the moment?
Obviously, I am looking at this GW fixture and beside this, there is a whole WC-or notWC strategy pending on this for mehe wont be banned for hull, not enough time. could be banned for the next few
It's a delaying tactic. Basically he'll be able to play this weekend, but next week is really iffy.
Is this lot good to go or should I take a hit ?
Foster
Valencia Williams Friend
Hazard Barkley Lamela Redmond
Zlatan Costa Gray
(Jaku Capoue Stones Amat)
0 FT, 4.8m ITB
A) Redmond > Ozil (-4)
B) Lamela > Sanchez (-4)
C) No hit neededC.. Avoid hit unless you have very bad players... Redmond, Lamela are decent players..
For everyone linking their team, please use .com/a/entry/ rather than /entry/ due to link format change by FPL ........
A.Collins and friend or
B. Valencia and 4.0?Collins is not 100% nailed on and i dont know any starting 4.0 defenders so none ..
B, unless you already have another 4.0 in your defence.
I have Amat
If you have to choose one then A, but bear in mind doubts over Collins game time
Could do with some help please..on W/C .1 cash left..
Heaton/Pickford
Amat Kone McAuley Baines Friend
Haz Sanchez (C) Barkley Antonio Capoue
Ibra Lukaku Tekkers
I am convinced Baines will do well, but I could downgrade if someone talks me out of it and I could save cash on Barkley to Bolasie/Miralas to raise cash for Aguero. Do I do that now or wait and just do Haz to cheapo mid at the time?
Cheers!
Any advice guys, do I need to WC?
Foster (*Jakupovic)
Valencia - Williams - Stones - Amat - Friend
Barkley - Hazard - Lamela - Redmond - Capoue
Ibra - *Aguero - *Gray
I would say no, even a -4 is ok
Not now Gray is likely to play..-4 Aguero to Lukaku looks good or F/T
who do i get rid of
A. Firmino
B. COutinho
for
1. Ozil
2. Sterling
3. Nolito
4. Cazorla
if i get ozil in,
i will have to get rid of him to get aguero back in the future
advice please
B1 if it were me
This is WC right?
GK- Foster/ Jakop
DEF- Shaw/ Friend/ Amat/ Stones/ Williams
MID- Tadic/ Eriksen/ Capoue/ Hazard/ Ramirez
FW- Aguero/ Ibra/ Gray
1FT
Jakop lost place prob
Just want rid of Stones
watching Shaw news
Tadic/Erik/ Ramirez urgh
Aguero banned
Gray possibly bannedNeed some West Ham, Arsenal and more everton
Damn... Looks like there won't be any 3.9 defender this transfer window 🙁
Have to admit haven't seen much of Zaza and for that reason I can't pick him, wondering why he's in so many teams? West Ham have good fixtures but he's still unknown to most of us right? Have the guys who watch him play regularly done that good of a job in convincing us he's worth having in our teams
Stats seem decent I guess, at Juve pretty good with limited minutes
im tempted, just really as he the main (if not only?) fit striker for WH ahead of nice fixtures. May bottle it and get 'cover' with Antonio
Ah right, well they do have really good fixtures but like I said I haven't seen much of him at all tbh so for that reason alone can't justify getting him over other players. Have Benteke myself
Quite a poor transfer window from Spurs. Not sure that any of their new signings improves their starting Xl.
Yeah and losing Chadli could hurt them, did very well as a bench player or filling in during injuries
if anything, it's destablizing last season's core.
but good for depth though
A) ibra + Antonio
B) lukaku + Payet
A is a no brainier right?
Form + fitnessCapoue owners who are playing WC now... Do you stick or sell and use that 0.1 he earned you? If you decide to get non playing 5th midfielder you can actually get 0.2 itb. I have to say I'm a bit worried he is now transferred in as 4th mid by some ppl and when he underperform he will start to loose value... Your thoughts?
You might be able to bank 0.3 or even 0.4 soon. I wouldn't sell just for a minor TV gain.
Nah keep him, his stock is rising, don't sell too soon if you don't have to.
Keeping
Holgate to hold his spot now that Coleman is back?
Nope
I've got Lamela as my 7m mid. Correct choice? Lallana been showing good form and stats too...
I would get Antonio instead of Lamela
who is the best midfielder available for the 5.5 range?
throw a dice
I am looking at kouyate or maybe dembele when he returns.
Puncheon or Snodgrass?
Good ask, King or Zaha for me, Snoddy if you can squeeze a bit extra out.
Which do you prefer?
A) Baines & McAuley
B) Williams & StonesB long term
I do agree...but Baines on pens was swaying me!
On the wildcard.
Is it wise to cash-in on these players?
Costa, Negredo, Capoue and maybe Foster for
Lukaku, Defoe, Fletcher and HeatonLol, last page...
Maybe not this week. Rising stocks tend te keep rising, decent fixtures too.
