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.
It will be a tight game - for sure. Can't see WBA score more than one or two goals.
I would play Pickford and McAuley (too spread the risk).
Definitely play Foster and Chadli over Pickford and Capoue, I would say.
Since Tottenham looks to be scoring goals these days, choosing McAuley ahead of Stones seems to be a good move. Who’s your remaining defenders?
Williams and Valencia (+ Amat).
got lost at the bottom. Sorry for repost How is this WC team? 0.1 in the bank
Cech Pickford
Walker Cedric Williams Holebas Amat
Sanchez Antonio Lallana Son Carrick
Lukaku Aguero Rashford
Lovren over Williams might give you enough for a better 5th mid?
I could do Cech to Karius which allows me to keep williams and then have Capoue over Carrick?
If you don't ship Carrick you'll get a (cheap) defender off the bench.
Carrick is a no no
Cech to Karius = Dont need lovren and can use Williams. Upgrade Carrick to Capoue?
Sounds good. but... as a Capoue owner i dont trust him. might swap to Barry or other sure 2-3 pointer
Really wanted to save my transfer for the international break. What do you think?
Pickford
Williams Valencia Amat (Collins Pieters)
Sanchez Mane Payet Capoue (Puncheon)
Lukaku Aguero Rashford
0.9 ITB
Save? Play AOA? Make a transfer?
AOA.
AOA hardly seems worth it.
Thing is Pieters, Collins and Amat are all likely to get a 0. But then again, do think puncheon's going to score more than 2. Really don't know what to do.
After the West Ham game i really wanted to take out Payet. Was wililng to do a Payet + Collins Out Bellerin + Sterling/Coutinho in for a -4.
Decent week for AOA.
CAPTAIN PICKS
Ibra pros:
On pens
On free kicks
Great fixture at Old Trafford
Underlying stats speak volumes. "Due" if I've ever seen it
Most likely the highest captained player overall this week
Ibra cons:
"Off form"
Wasn't involved at all when United scored 4 last game
Aguero pros:
On pens
Loves playing against Spurs
Aguero is Aguero
Aguero cons:
Against a tough defence away from home
Ibra most likely to be the most captained overall, could get hurt if Aguero blanks
Sanchez pros:
On top form
Arsenal capable of scoring 2 or 3
Last game of the gameweek (not really a pro)
Sanchez cons:
Tough defence
Ibra most likely to be the most captained overall, could get hurt if Sanchez blanks
Have I missed anything?
Yeah, the conclusion
Lolzy.
🙂
How did this get 39 upvotes? 😆
If you don't captain Ibra here, you'll never captain him.
...and if you aren't ever captaining you shouldnt be owning at that price
Yeah, makes no sense to hold onto him and not captain him this GW.
This should be a hot topic.
"Have I missed anything?"
Yep , being unbiased...
Give me the unbias pros and cons of Aguero and Sanchez then
I wouldn't label Burnley a tough defence
2 goals conceded in 4 games at Turf Moor this season
Swansea , hull and Watford were 3 of them
Still shipping plenty of chances
If I remember, they got a CS against LIV (one of the best attack in PL) at the TurfMoor
Watford, Hull, Liverpool and Swansea. 3 of the weakest sides around. Can't argue against the Liverpool result but I didn't see the game. Perhaps they had an off day?
They were very organised in that game, always the two banks of 4. Liverpool had a ton of possession but weren't able to create too many good chances
I would at home.
Conclusion: If you own Ibra, captain this GW and then ship
Exactly this
Why ship?
Because if owning and mostly captaining Aguero - as everyone should - he's too expensive if not captained regularly. By this argument, same can be said for Sanchez though ....
Say Ibra scores a 13 point haul, then who is actually a better choice than him as a striker? Even taking value into account, that would be 1 blank in 7 weeks
That's fine...you just won't have Sanchez. Pick 2 out of Ag, Ibra, and Sanch.
Thats absolutely not true. I have all 3 of those and fairly happy with my team
Are you saying it's not possible to have Aguero, Ibra and Sanchez in the same team? If so that's ridiculous. I would expect most teams to have three heavy hitters. Whether you want Ibra to go with Aguero and Sanchez is a different matter but it's certainly an option
I have all 3 lol
You don't have to captain him. You should be able to afford 2 out if the big 3 and still have a nice team.
Yeah Lukaku
New team, who dat?
Not on those picks.
Would like to add:
Lukaku
Pros: Central in everything Everton do attacking wise.On a goal streak (except last game). Playing a leaky Palace defence. Possibly on pens if Baines is out. Should be 100% fit now.
Cons: Trollkaku. Team was performing poorly last game.
Mané
Pros: Goals galore from LIV midfield. Mané always look like scoring. Most threatening player in and around the box. Playing an awful Swansea defence.
Cons: Goals and points are shared, hard to pick the right LiV mid. Don't know if LIV have a good or a bad day, still incosistent.
Nice one, thanks
Yeah you missed Sanchez gets more points for goals and a clean sheet which is likely imo.
Yes.
Actually I think Bellerin would be a better captain pick than Sanchez this week.
😆
I have him also Ruth but don't think ive ever captained a defender
I'd look at the Chelsea boys. Their attacking stats are good and Hull are leaky.
The pool boys too.
Very low quality analysis, most of time you present opinions, I wonder why it is a hot topic.
Sometimes you just have to go with your gut. It's part of the enjoyment.
There is no point trying to pick an obvious choice. Throw lukaku in there this week.
Kun for me at least at mo
I wouldn't say Ibra being the most popular pick is particularly a con. You could easily say that by not captaining Ibra, you will rise up the rankings if Ibra blanks. Ibra users also have to take value into consideration.
Personally, I am surprised about the Zlatan stuff. Sanchez is on massive form and so is Aguero. With Lukaku being a great option at 9m, Zlatan's large ownership is puzzling to me.
His larger ownership was caused by Aguero's suspension and people being slow to convert back from Ibra to Ag.
That is also not a true statement, since Ibra had higher ownership than Aguero to start the season off.
Good one but you missed Costa who's going to be the highest scorer of GW 7 😉
Yeah the incoming Costa hat trick
Lol that comment to Hot topic was sarcastic guys..If only it helped who has best chance of most points...Will have to look at big chances conceded of the teams they playing now
How has this got a hot topic?
This.
😆
I think it's a bit easy to point to Ibra's ownership as a con for Sanchez and Aguero. From a risk-neutral point of view it doesn't matter at all what his ownership is. A con argument for Ibra could also be; because he will be the most captained overall there's not much to gain. A pro for Sanchez and Aguero could be; because Ibra will be the most captained overall, there's much to gain if Ibra blanks.
Can't see I'll get another opportunity to Do PVA to Bellerin in the coming weeks.
Would really like to save transfer for international break though.
Do it or save????
do it imo. bells will be gold in the coming weeks.
This is what I'm thinking.
so much attacking threat and usually if Ars get a cleanie he's in the bonus.
All this business of the scandal with football managers just shows that they should always have just been left to coach team, and some sort of commercial director should have had responsibility for the business side of things. This has been the case throughout Europe for years by the way.
On a lighter note, the described below does sound very familiar... 😉
Warming to the subject, he described another famous manager as “very bent”, who would ask for kickbacks to be deposited in an offshore account when transfers were agreed.
Can we add Masuaku to the troll list please.
5.0 purchase... he gets me 0, 0 and then an injury plus price drop.
Basically, don't trust players ending in aku.
xD
Haha in the same situation 😉
What to do this week? 1FT 0.0 ITB
Foster-Pickford
Valencia-Lovren-McAuley-Holebas-Amat
Antonio-Sterling-Capoue-Firmino-Snodgrass
Aguero-Ibra-Lukaku
Thanks
Playing Snodders or Capoue
Capoue
Nice team
Your team is almost the same as mine except your defence is better, so rollover imo.
Play snodgrass or Capoue
Will also be playing Holebas and Deeney
Play snod
Do we think Shaw will come back in this week?
If not I will likely use bench boost for Capoue then ship him out the following week with 2ft.
Best replacement for Shaw? Thinking Kosc or Monreal
Already own walker Williams pieters Amat
Cheers!
He will not play tomorrow, but he will be available for selection this weekend. Not nailed though. I would consider Shaw -> Monreal.
Cheers. Is Kosc worth the extra 0.1 over Monreal?
Can't afford Sterling. Thoughts on doubling up with Walcott and Sanchez for the next few weeks?
I send pleasant thoughts in that direction.
Lovren not yellow anymore good news, but what about Baines?
Will probably miss Palace but should recover during the ItB
Source?
Wait for the presser. Koeman has said he hopes he'll be fit. The daily star has guessed otherwise which now seems to have turned into a fact on FFS
this really is my pet peeve here!
A Antonio and Valencia
Or
B lovren and Firmino?
B
RP. AOA and saving a transfer for the ITB. G2G?
Cech (Pick)
Lovren Holebas (Baines*, Walker, Amat)
Mané (C) Firmino Sterling Antonio Capoue
Aguero Lukaku Rashford
Nice. I'd miss Sanchez but strong without him
Yeah. Saving transfer to get him in after the International break
Probably a good decision
Thanks mate. Valencia or Baines?
Coleman
Clyne
Who is best and why.... Austin or Defoe?
Defoe - pens and nailed
Austin is pens and nailed too atm but he does have harder fixtures however he play's for the better team! Saves you 0.9 mil too
Austin has pens?
Surely Tadic
My defence is a mess this week, what would you do here? 1FT, 0.0 ITB.
Foster-Pickford
Baines*-Masuaku*-McAuley-Amat-BradSmith
Antonio-Sterling-Capoue-Ozil-Snodgrass
Aguero-Ibra-Lukaku
Two injuries and one non-playing defender. Already used AOA.
Transfer one of them
Captaincy sorted for this week then - Ibrahimovic (c)
I am thinking
1) Ibra to Kun & Costa to Rashford
OR
2) Walcott to Sanchez & Costa to Rashford for -4. Your thoughts
Do i go Sanchez and Iwobi or Ozil and Walcott - want two arsenal mids for their next three/four run of games
i know sanchez is on fire but is Ozil going under the radar? Plus sanchez and iwobi are more likely to get brought off considering Giroud and Perez are on bench?
Sanchez and Iwobi
Sanchez and Walcott if you can.. Sanchez essential
ok thanks, funds won't allow me walcott - needs to be a 6 mil midfielder with sanchez ...
Sanchez essential
Help me figure out what to do with Shaw + Baines,
I have got McAuley, PVA, Amat to play for.
Should i
a) transfer out Shaw for -4 hit (thinking to hold on Baines)
b) play AoA
c) keep those two and go for current def
What to do with this miserable lot?
DDG - Jaku
Stones, Shaw, Baines, Evans, Brad Smith.
Basically Evans is my only fit and nailed defender.
Really want to save a transfer, but Maybe it Would ne stupid with that defence?
Go with Stones, Baines & Evans..
If any of them doesn't play, that's bad luck
I thought I might get at least one CS this week with my Holebus+Morgan+Williams lot, ended up with only 2 points from the last 🙁
Sell Shaw, Stones or Friend? .4 banked
Play Redmond (lei) or Capoue (BOU)?
Cheers!
RMT Please
Cech (Jakupovic)
Collins - Williams - Mcauley - Amat - Marc Wilson
Ozil - Mane - Son - Capoue - Chadli
Rashford(c) - Lukaku - Aguero
2.4m ITB
Could save a transfer if you just stick Collins in and pray. Or upgrade him.
When I sign in to FFS and then look at some of the pages, I keep getting pop ups when I haven't clicked on anything.
Bearing in mind you are talking to a technological tool, anyone know how to stop these? Had Skybet pop up, a Mac cleaner as well, happened yesterday too.
Anyone keeping Redmond? These facts are interesting but he's dropping like a stone!
More importantly; play Redmond or Capoue (playing Deeney)
Drop
This is my fantasy team, what should be my starting 11 this coming game week
0FT, 0.0ITB
Bravo-Skeletenburg
Alderweild-Valencia-Bellerin-Azpi-Evans
Sterling-Capoue-Coutinho-Willian-Bolasie
Lukaku-Stuani-Ibrahimovic
Bench Capoue Toby and Evans
I have Couthino, Sanchez, Mane, Capoue, Agero, Costa, and Rashford. I'm feeling Coutinho for captain or Sanchez what do u guys think?
Coutinho*
Alexis
Costa, Aguero, Rashford, Coutinho or Cazorla for captain please help!!
Costa
My WC squad. Any'd appreciate any sugestions
Cech - Jakupovic
Walker - Stones - Williams - Francis - Holebas
Firmino - Sterling - Walcott - Son - Capoue
Aguero - Lukaku - Rashford
City are finding cleansheets hard to come by and stones is no scoring threat so that is one slot of concern. Also you may be better off with the likes of lallana and coutinho rather than firmino. Besides that you're good to go and fielding a strong side.
7 years, 8 months agoHave 3xWBA (Foster/McAuley/Chadli).
Are we looking at a CS away to Sunderland this weekend, or would you play any one of Pickford, Stones or Capoue (which I currently have on the bench) instead?
Hoping that something as simple as a 0-1 victory and a Chadli goal can give me massive returns for these 3.
Cheers.
