Next up this Tuesday, we delve into the Gameweek 6 Opta data in our first members article of the week.
A pair of Palace and Liverpool attackers come under analysis in light of their weekend showings, while we also cast an eye over Arsenal’s overlooked wide man and Burnley’s chief creator.
Wears the #9 on the team
Scoutcast ghost town
Can't wait to see Bellerin vs N'Koudou in a race down the line.
Am I mad to consider captaining Son this GW? He's in top form and City are yet to register a clean sheet so to me it makes sense given that there's no standout option this week.
I think so
Good punt to have in the team but not to captain this week
Sanchez this week.
Do you think so? Burnley has been fairly strong at home so far this season. I’m not saying that Son is a better alternative, but shouldn’t there be someone better than Sánchez? One of the Liverpool guys, Mané or Coutinho, against Swansea, for instance? Or Lukaku at home against Palace? Or Ibrahimovic against Stoke?
incredible
Who do you think scores more points between now and the end of the season:
A) Deeney
B) Defoe
A
B
B) Defoe
Ask it only in respect of the next 6 GWs.
It's for a draft league in which I'll have either for the entire season. That's why I worded it that way.
If only Lamela and Son were nailed...
Son will be for the short term
So I'll hang on to Payet a little longer then.
Why what just happened for you to make that decision?
Please don't divulge the content of a members article
Here's my current team. 1ft & 1.5itb
Foster (Jaku)
Baines, Valencia, McAuley (Walker, Amat)
Sterling, Firmino, Antonio, Capoue (Snodgrass)
Aguero, Costa, Lukaku
My aim is to get Sanchez in & will take a -4 hit. I'm thinking:
Firmino out - Lallana in &
Sterling out - Sanchez in
Thoughts & thanks.
Crazy to do KDB out Hazard in
Well, one is fit and nailed on, the other is out injured so won't get you any points for at least the next 3GW's.
I'd move de bruyne out. Hazard has a great fixture but hasn't looked too great lately. If you're confident go for it.
Should I ditch Shaw?
If so, who with Kos or Monreal? I was surprised that stats seem to favour Monreal.
Montreal.
Monreal, even.
That's what I was thinking. Most here seem to favour Kos
Injury prone
Kos or Mon?
Kos
It isn't likely that KDB will price drop tonight is it? Only on -65% on FPL stat or is that not accurate anymore?
Anyone?
Not sure if it's accurate. But I don't think he'll fall tonight no.
if its 65, he's not falling tonight.
If Stoke pull themselves together I'd consider Shawcross for their decent run of fixtures.
Stoke look poor. Avoid, despite fixtures.
As I say, not getting him until Stoke tighten up.
Every defence looks poor. Picks should be made based on attacking potential, go fo it 🙂
Spurs look solid.
They do, but maybe the fixtures aren't too nice atm.
Shawx has done nothing for 2 seasons now.
Who reigned longer, Allardyce or Lady Jane Grey?
100% record. Taken them as far as he could.
Can anyone update me on how long the below guys are out?
KDB
BAINES
COLLINS
2-3 weeks
Idk
Idk
Baines should be 1 week, if that
Foster / Heaton
Valencia / Baines / A. Smith / Evans / Holebas
Sánchez / Firmino / Antonio / Puncheon / Capoue
Agüero / Costa / Benteke
0 free transfers, £0.3 in the bank.
No need to anything this week, I assume, although both Baines and Smith are injury risks. I still have three defenders playing – unless Holebas gets dropped after yesterday’s performance.
Next week I’m looking at replacing Puncheon with Snodgrass since Palace’s fixtures turn worse, but Hull’s look promising. What do you think?
Kun to Ibra for 1 week only on a FT worth a flutter or over-tinkering? Tough fixture away without KDB and Ibra seems to have goals imminent.
Step away from the keyboard.
Don't do that. Crazy talk.
Your going to ask why ..well 1 kun could easily outscore Ibrah. A goal every 70 mins kun is scoring at moment.
2 your committing yourself to a transfer in international week
3 what you going to do if Ibrah score a brace..go without kun??
Keep it simple is my advice mate
Cheers for the reassurance gents. Usually a bit of a Thorburn but a bit twitchy about going Braless this weekend.
Me too. How about rashford for cover and piece of mind
Yes and captain him stoke home is going to be his night im doing the same and wildcarding friday night
Benteke is a beauty
They have a sister?
Brother. Jonathan
No assist for Guierreiro after the rebound? If they aren't giving it to Varane, surely has to be his?
Alves didn't even get his goal
I didn't get an OG with Semper, so who got it?
Hmm, not sure. It says Semper OG on an app I'm looking at but not on the website. These Uefa rules are horrible. The entire site is horrible. Not even sure why I'm playing after winning the Euro game and Uefa never contacted me about my prizes.
Of course Pjanic (C) and he comes off at halftime. Could have really pushed up the ranks today
1- play Capoue
2 Capoue to wallcot for -4
1 for me
Close. Depends how much faith you have in Burnley defence. Very good record at home.
conceded 25 shots in the game vs Pool (only 5 on target)
£8.2 To replace De Bruyne
A) Lallana (I already have Firminho)
B) Pay the extra for Couthino (I already have Firminho)
C) Take a punt on Walcott continuing good form
D) Hope Mata doesn't sleep with Mourinho's wife again and keeps his place and form
I know Son looks good but don't like his fixtures at all
I think Lallana is great value.
He really is! I'm down to him or walcott
Stats are useful and fixtures play a part but form is key in this game
I'm thinking son myself
Might be a good shout. I never seem to learn my form over fixtures lesson City then west brom away really puts me off
I'd go Son or Walcott, probably Wally
A or b ? Much thanks
A cech
Williams valencia walker
Coutinio sterling antonio snod Aguero zlatan lukaku
Jaku capoue amat love
B Foster
Valencia walker mcauley
Sanchez coutinio sterling antonio Aguero rashford lukaku
Jaku amat love capiue
Make it easier for us!
Cech/Williams/Snod/Ibra
or
Foster/McCauley/Sanchez/Rashford
The second one but Heaton over Foster for me if its a wc.
Thanks point taken 🙂
I almost had the differences figured out, then I lost it and gave up good work brown Cow.
The second is much better up front but double west brom with fixtures coming might be too much so find alternative to at least one
Haha cheers good point
Janssen taken off at 0-0
Bad sign, right?
Worked hard and linked up well, but very little goal threat.
Given Kane's improved injury diagnosis too I would stay clear.
Got him on my WC last week. Don't really want to transfer after 1 game.
No need to get rid - he'll start on Sun. Just wouldn't be overly hopeful!
Cheers
It was a tactical move I think to bring on N'koudou to introduce some width and pace to the game. Silver lining - Janssen still likely to be on pens and likely to play the majority of minutes until Harry returns.
Cheers. Got him in because contrary to what people think on here, Spurs' fixtures aren't that bad after the City game. I suppose with Kane's news I'll have to rid soon anyway
Ineffective. He's our new soldado
Janssen is still very young.
Can't agree with this conclusion. Very different type of player and much younger. Intelligent and reads the game well. Time will tell but it's a little early to be writing him off completely.
Hope your right.
If only I had the guts to drop Ibra for benteke, it would really boost the mids and defs. But it's hard to let him go.
Do it. Dare you.
At least gotta play around that.
I sold Ibra last week and realised it would be 2 weeks hiding behind the sofa with those fictures. Somehow navigated week 1....
Not now
At least wait til after he's played against the worst defence in the league
Do it! I've gone from 700k to 50k in 3 weeks without him
Arnautovic to drop again tonight. Think I will take a punt on him on WC next week
Hes an option. As is sigurdsson when Swansea fixtures clear.
True. Siggy on pens as well
Lallana, Mane, Firmino or Coutinho?
Had mane and was happy with it but just went coutinho on wc because of the price.
Mane coutinio firmino Llanana in that order for me
Flip a coin or roll a dice. They will continue to swap points throughout the season. I do however think that over the course of the season, Mane and Firmino will be slightly more prolific than the other two.
Have both Baines and Shaw - do we know anything about their chances for the weekend or do I need to take a hit to get one out?
Baines likley out, Shaw idk. Wait til Thursday for more.
Likely*
Ok thanks, could use AOA, or play all of McAuley, Pieters, Amat - Anto many points there!
Not*
Baines could be fit. Shaw was originally out for 3 weeks. Besides with mou critical of him and blind playing so well ..no saying he will get back in
Heaton ( Pickford )
Walker McAuley Evans ( Amat Love )
Sanchez Countino Sterling son (BARRY)
Costa Aguero Rashford
0.8 M ITB
Thinking of benching Walker this week for Amat
Play Walker.
I'd go Walker just because he plays on better team and probably has better attacking potential.
I wouldn't, personally. Swansea clean sheet just as unlikely as a Spurs clean sheet. Walker was rested tonight so he is assured 90 mins and is a much more attacking defender than Amat.
Will Luke Shaw be dropped again?
Find out on the next episode of Dragonball Z
Bench Defoe or Capoue? Seem to get it wrong every week..
Just get a 4.5m and save yourself the headache and save us from answering
Was only thinking out loud but thanks for your kind answer anyway.
7 years, 8 months agoDeeney number! 😯
