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.
-
Holebas and Pieters are no brainiers for me.
Superb upcoming fixtures.
If Collins was nailed - he'd be straight in my team-
Holebas nailed on? They have so many WB's.
-
Will Holebas play? They have Janmaat now.
-
-
got a feeling coutinho benteke Sanchez or hazard getting a brace this weekend
-
Gray with hat -trick and then ban.
-
that will certainly be lukaku esque troll
-
Got a feeling one of ozil Sanchez hazard ibra firmino vardy mahrez kane costa or debruyne might get 1
-
haha very funny
-
-
-
Choose one
A. Costa + Özil
B. Defoe/Benteke + Sanchez
Please help.-
B
-
I prefer A
-
B
-
You're flipping a coin with an option that also flips a coin.
I know he's not explosive but with Wenger saying he needs to score more, I'm going Ozil over Sanchez. -
A
-
-
Silva 8-0
-
silva is becoming a problem
-
You would score.
-
He's playing against chumps. For City he's had 1 assist all season.
-
-
Koke scored it.
-
-
If I'm to assume Valencia plays on Saturday, do I play the following defence?
Valencia, Friend, stones
Bench: Kone, Amat-
vry low chances of getting points in defence tbh but its still a better than amat n kone
-
Yeh, but it's either that or I fire off my wildcard
-
don't wild card now IMO if you have better team elsewhere in mid and attack
-
-
-
its just united playing city that is complicating otherwise stones is due a cs and Valencia is looking like a season keeper
-
I'd play Kone ahead of Stones fwiw
-
-
Gray no suspension then ? or will he get one after hull game
-
May still get one after the Hull game
-
Awaiting the hearing date.
-
-
Wonder pass by Florenzi, what a goal that would've been if Immobile finished it off.
-
Lukaku to score brace next Monday
-
His form maybe bad but his "threat" is right up there.
-
Not really
-
-
-
Pretty settled on this WC team, thoughts and feedback appreciated. Wish I could squeeze Mane/Lukaku in but you can't have them all! 0.1m ITB.
Foster, Pickford
Baines, Shaw, Masuaku, McAuley, Amat
Sanchez, Hazard, Sterling, Antonio, Capoue
Ibra, Benteke, Bony-
Nice team. whats ur plan to get kun in ?
-
Don't have one at the moment in all honesty! Possibly Ibra and Sanchez to Aguero and Ozil
-
-
Looks strong. Consider Defoe for Bony until he settles?
-
Tempted! Also tempted getting Zaza for Bony for a few weeks. Just think with Aguero back in 2 GW it might be best not to plan transfers off the back of a WC and just save instead!
-
-
very very similar to mine. But I have Barkley instead of Antonio
-
Bony to Defoe and McAuley to Evans and Capoue to Hojbjerg to free up funds if you want
-
-
anyone here have met pl footballers in real life?
-
I once thought I had met Diego Costa, but turned out it was just some bum.
-
I once farted beside Micheal Owen on a plane, does that count?
-
hahha yes
-
If you've farted beside him, you've met him very close imo. In fact, molecules from your intestines have surrounded the poor lad. It's almost as close as if you had kissed him.
-
-
-
Yes, Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka, Lucas Neill, Tim Cahill, Mark Schwarzer (spelling).
-
u surely are from Australia
-
Correct. I worked in a clothing shop and sold the Socceroos some threads 🙂
-
-
-
Giggs, Neville and Zidane. In India 🙂
-
do you live in India?
-
-
Paul Scholes at a soccer school when i was about 12
Jonny Evans at a Snow Patrol concert
David Healy Roy Carroll and Steven Davis in a night club
Just a few off the top of my head -
only alexis
-
I went to school with James McFadden
-
i once won the chance, with 6 other people, to spend the day with Ryan Giggs when i was 11, it was great!
The question (which my dad answered correctly) was: Which team did Ryan Giggs score his debut goal against, and how old was he, my dad answered Everton, and he was 17 years ol ( i think), anyway, it was a day i'll always remember.-
great 😀
-
-
Pat Jennings
-
Came off a flight with Portsmouthteam (preseason). Ended up taking a pee in between Tal Ben Haim and Dave Kitson. Doesn't get better than that 😆
-
What is real life?
-
we r discovering what is real life lol
-
-
david marshall and fabio st our game vs Bolton last year.
nice guys. fabio looks about 12 -
Walcott, Giroud, Gerrard, Sturridge, Suarez a few years back..but my favourite has to be Agger. What a gem of a fella.
-
ohh that's amazing ...
-
-
been mascot for Liverpool, met all the players of 2000-2001 team.
-
Met seamus Coleman a few times.lives down the road from me.
-
Shook Bobo Balde's hand back in the day. Hands softer than silk.
-
Met Keith Gillespie in a bar in France over the summer.
Only guy in there drunker than us. Quite impressive really. -
Shane Long, JWP and J Rod all live in my parents village. See Long about all the time. He owns a Mercedes GT, Bentley
GT cab, a Mercedes GL AMG and a Shelby Mustang. Often see him in the pub. Nice family.
-
-
Pick one please:
Kone & Antonio
OR
PVA & Lanzini
Cheers, lads. -
Anyone looked hard into Alexis vs Eden for the weekend?
-
You?
-
Nope haven't.
-
-
For Capt you mean? Surely you have both 😉
-
Yep for the armband.
-
-
I prefer Eden this week LR. Swansea let you play football, Southampton can be right so and so's.
-
so and so's looooooooooooooooooooool
-
-
-
No Mike Dean this week? Come on.
-
Re Gray,
If they are planning on banning him they will have the hearing this week, if it after this weekend then you can assume he will be fined. They won't allow him to take the piss by delaying if they want to ban him imo-
I guess they could increase any ban by 1 game for frivolity?
-
He hasn't denied the offence, he has asked for a personal hearing, which is basically a chance to repeat his bull that he is a different guy now, hoping to limit the damage
-
He could try to prove himself a changed guy to the judges.
And when they give him a ban nevertheless, he can tell them face to face that they're gay and should burn and die.-
Lol, he is so full of sht, you don't want to kill them one day and then think they are okay
-
Maybe. It's 4 years though. That's literally about one 6th of his whole life. A lot can happen in that time. People can and do change.
-
he got famous and earned money. that's all.
he was tweeting iffy stuff this year-
sorry, 2014
-
Alright, I don't know about that. I'm not following him (or anybody) on twitter. Maybe it's like you side, that he just got rich and famous, and had his agent telling him that he must at least pretend to behave himself. It's likely. Just saying that we should give him a fair trial before judging him.
-
-
-
he's a complete scummy scrote
-
-
-
Indeed, but if he plays v Hull before a ruling then it could be deemed tactical.
-
Hence my original post 😉
-
Hence my follow up(s). 😉
-
-
-
-
-
Is there a possibility he's benched, because his head isn't in the right place at the moment?
-
Allegedly his head hasn't been in the right place for about ever, but that hasn't seemed to prevent him from scoring goals. 😉
-
Obviously 🙂 I knew someone would point that out and it didn't help I changed it from even punnier ''his head isn't straight at the moment''.
-
-
-
-
Here's a different one for you lads, which option would you prefer?
A) Koscielny + Benteke
B) Bellerin + Zaza
Thank you 🙂-
A all day
-
A no brainer
-
cool cheers lads
-
Bellerin guaranteed to get assists whilst bombing up the wing. Both Kos/Bellerin can also get the odd goal.
-
-
So what's the consensus on the West Ham back line? I'm on WC with Collins and 0 itb but am slightly concerned by his gametime
Arbeloa has played on both sides, as has Byram with Masuaku starting well and cresswell still firmly on the sidelines
If they play 4 at the back then there are 3 competing for the centre back slots. On paper Reid and ogbonna look the best bet but Collins has started strong after an excellent euros-
arbeloa Collins Reid masuaku for now
-
Masuaku is your man
-
-
Bale on 19 points now
-
Good emerging talent. One to watch for the future definitely.
-
-
Does anyone know how low aguero's price is likely to drop after all the transfers out??? I've got a plan but it only works if he drops to £12.8! Haha Is this feasible?????
Cheers 🙂-
Possible
-
The Delta is massive, 434,000. Not even got to 5% yet.
-
12.9 the lowest I think
-
-
RMWCT
Foster Pickford
Valencia baines masuaku Evans Amat
Hazard Sanchez Sterling Antonio hojbjerg
Ibra Defoe benteke
Any changes?????-
Looks good. Is Hojberg guaranteed 90 mins? Have you planned how to get Aguero in?
-
Don't know but only because I don't want Rodwell as its three Sunderland players and same with Fletcher. My Aguero buy back plan is ibra to aguero and Sanchez to Ozil or mane or it could be Benteke/Defoe to aguero and Sanchez to snoddy or puncheon
-
-
-
Lol the photo always gives away the article.
-
another reason membership is getting pointless
-
Should've been misleading like...Holebas? Idk not a member 😛
-
-
Which is better?
A) Baines and 4.5
B) Williams and Masuaku-
I'd like to say A, with Evans or Robertson (if you can hold out til their favourable fixtures) but I'm probably going B.
Think Williams is an absolute handful at corners and with grappling pens this season, could get double digit assists.... although that means serious pens for Baines. -
Baines and masuaku
-
Cant stretch that far
-
-
I like B
-
-
WC comes down to:
Rondon and Sanchez
OR
Costa and Barkley
What do you reckon?-
RS
-
-
Evening folks...
Got 5.5itb.....planning ramirez to ozil...
And will do gray to benteke for a hit if gray banned.
How does that sound?....team is
Foster jaku
Valencia stones friend kone amat
Hazard firmino lamela ramirez capoue
Kun ibra gray
With wildcard in gw6.
Thanks-
Not selling Kun?
-
no that can't be right, you must have done kun to janssen or lukaku already or something
-
Sorry folks....yes..already done Kun to lukaku
......
-
-
-
gray banned or not ?
-
You are the real Jack right?
-
😆
-
-
Definitely maybe
-
Hows the move to Bournemouth going?
-
Not as yet. Gone to a personal hearing for which there is no date decided on so far....
-
-
Defoe or Benteke?
-
I m very new to this fpl thing but I think I have learned a lot in very short time like I m feeling like a expert. thanks to all u guys imo
-
We are all second fiddle to MrMaverick and TheBusDriver.
-
Yup, thank those two for all your points and knowledge.
-
-
ypp ffs is amazing and all those working behind to help us hats off to all of them......
thank you all
-
-
A) Cech + Milner
B) Foster + Lallana
I'm thinking A because better fixtures and milner's on pens. Anything I'm missing??
Cheers 🙂-
Milner's playing left back though.
-
Yea. You're missing the fact that it's Milner. Clearly.
-
Yes. You picked Milner. Unless it's a pen (even then not guaranteed) you're getting nothing.
I like the Cech pick.-
I'm well aware it's Milner! Haha I'm questioning my sanity too but I've looked over his last few FPL seasons and he always gets a few goals and assists and now that he's on pens just adds to it but that being said...I prefer option A too I was just looking someone to push me off Milner. Which you've all done...So cheers haha
-
-
-
A) Lukaku and Redmond
B) Benteke and mid up to 7.7
Hazard / Sanchez / Firmino / xxx / 4.5
Ibra / Zasa / xxx-
B)arkley
-
this
-
-
I fancy Walcott but that's just me
-
-
Apart from being a great fighter, Kel Brooks next opponent Golovkin seems like a real nice too. Pity
-
Boxing is more over hyped than the PL
-
Aye. Kell could be destroyed
-
Agreed
-
-
Brooks is actually a more technical boxer but GGG just generates so much power and has a granite chin. No one could beat him IMO.
-
-
Of these who will be the highest scoring duo next 2 GW's?
A - Ibra & Ozil
B - Lukaku & KDB
C - Kane & Payet
D - Ibra & Barkley
Thanks.-
A
-
Flip coins everywhere.
-
C
-
Am also currently on C, not only do i think they will score more, i like the differential aspect they will add back to my side after losing Sanchez as a major diff because of Kun ban and everyone turning to the Alexis route. Think i'll risk it for a biscuit with this pairing.
-
-
I'll ask my magic ball and get back to you.
-
A, easily.
-
C imo
-
