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.
Next week - no point shipping one of the highest point scorers in the game (and West Ham's only threat) before MID
Think that was just a tactical move in the end. Middlesbrough are crap and will concede
Asses him at MID
What other managers are involved in this sting thing then? Any names been leaked??
Mike Bassett.
So the Son sets on a very disappointing gameweek. I don't feel like Coutinhoing but Coutinho I must and Coutinho I will. This game is Conteageous.
With the Heaton, the Mane thing is I had a Zaha moment and used my Sterling to do:
Hazzard and Lukaku for Kun and Son.
Did I make the right Pickfords?
Cringe
😥
Shaw looks like Success to Mee
😛
How many in one sentence. Classic.
You. Why are you condemning the Rashford pick? I need to talk some sense you.
You really think Mourinho is going to play an 18 year old every week?
Dream on. 🙂
My thoughts too, Ruthless 😛
Rashford is an anomaly. Genuinely think he is the best 18 yr old i have seen in United colours since Ronaldo. 🙂
I think he's special.
He looks very talented. I am more influenced by Mourinho's track record.
I think the plan was EL and EFL Cup up to Xmas plus sub-ins in the PL. That would be 11 starts in the first half of the season.
Obviously he started last weekend but that doesn't mean he'll suddenly be a regular. More likely in and out of the team like Lingard.
I firmly disagree and thats because Rashford is the best option on the wings Mou has got until Mkhi ups his game 🙂
Well, even then. It was Rashford and Lingard on the wings now. I prefer Rashford...
19 years old.
Not guaranteed of starts.
Martial should be a reminder how these things end.
Ibra.
Its unfair to compare Rashford to Ibra though. (I'm an Ibra owner but see validity in Rashford picks)
Rashford is nailed to start the foreseeable in my opinion since he's been one of our best players.
Yu gotta trust me on this Laterz 😉
I have a strong opinion on this so lets agree to disagree 🙂
It will only take a bad game to dropped. Still looks good short term at least
Losing Lukaku might bite you this week but Aguero is probably worth it.
My Pickfords were a little Rashford but needed to be Dunne.
Creepy
Allydice in Wonderland
Excellent 😀
So, not unsurprisingly, some of the dirty dealings Fat Sam was explaining to the undercover journos are likely to see other managers in the spotlight.
My guess is: 'Arry Rednapp, Steve Bruce, Alan Pardew & Tony Pulis for starters. Sure there are plenty others.
Basically managers that regularly bought and sold the same large pool of players, each time getting a cut of the transfer. Been obvious for quite a while.
Crouch, Bellamy, Bent......loads of them just float from club to club each time getting a pay day.
Why they always want to be in charge of the transfers........and when they're not - Pardew (Newcastle) - they're not interested....
To be fair I would leave Bruce out of that list seems like a decent sod. He probably got a lot more in from his old club.
Can confirm Bruce is a thoroughly nice chap, can't see his name being sullied here at all
Best cap pick?
a. payet
b. Walcott
c. coutinho
d. costa
e. kun
f. rashford
Kun
I'd go D.
Why D? Expecting a big Chelsea response from the arsenal game?
How much risk do you like?
Chasing in my MLs, a lil risk wont hurt
To early to say you're chasing surely? Unless you're well off the pace
Yes true, but still don't mind some risks to make it interesting
That's fair enough
Morning my ladies. Anyone have an eye on when a major fixture shift takes place next?
This week? Arsenal, Watford, West Ham, Hull (next week) all looking good.
I have a wildcard. Just wondering when next to use it.
You are the one with the wildcard, maybe you should be the one looking for fixture shifts
I have a couple in mind. GW12 being the major one.
People have perspectives and i'm on a fantasy football forum to get theirs and give mine 🙂
Yeah, 11/12 is when my team will be going through some larger changes too.
Thing though is team is in decent shape so i'm wondering if i can hold longer 🙂
If you don't need it, don't use it. 🙂
Big change around GW 8-9 from looking at the ticker.
Foster - (Jankupovic)
Valencia - Walker - Evans (Stones - B. Smith (4.0 a does not play)
Firminho - Sanchez - Capoue - Willian (Redmond)
Benteke - Aguero - Lukaku
1 FT, 0.5 ITB
1) Redmond to Bolasie and play AOA.
2) Willian has been so disappointing , so Willian to Lallana.
3) Upgrade B.Smith to some 4.5 defender
4) Save FT ( still have the WC)
5) Any other good alternatives?
Any thoughts on:
A. KDB->Sanchez; Firmino->Lallana (-4)
B. KDB->Sanchez; Bolasie->Snodgrass (-4)
Only KDB->Sanchez makes 0.3 mil short.
Which defender to buy for the next few GWs
Smith(bou)
Coleman
Clyne
Holebas
And could matip be an option?
Coleman imo.
+1 or even 2. Clyne an option too.
Anyone got any insight into who Bournmouth's penalty taker will be this year?
Almost certainly Wilson
RuthNZ Is right. Mourinho wont play an 18 year old every week
On 31st Oct he will be 19
...and then he won't be playing a 19 year old every week. 🙂
Actually agree with you here. May well turn out his most effective role is as a super sub
This is his first full season so they need to be wary of burnout
Once again, the DZ talks the most sense on here.
When Ruthless, Triggertits and Uncle Jafa speak, you need to listen 😉
At least you did not turn it into a rhyme
Uncle Jafa is cool dude. His 3 sons don't know nothing though 😉
His 3 sons are
Alad
Ooli
Luccious
Hmmm... 😕
🙂
It's the last roll of Allardyce.
Thought I was dead set on Aguero to see me though as captain but this week looks tempting for both Sanchez and lukaku...thoughts?
When's the scoutcast this week?
Cheers all!
Be honest, you like everyone else will be influenced by the Celtic match
Aguero blanks and suddenly nobody will want to capt him.
Hattrick and suddenly he will be mr popular for the weekend
Ok defiantly influenced by Form. But Celtic are terrible and spurs are one of the strongest defences!
Imo Aguero can always get a hattrick its possibility of him doing it away vs Spurs against Sanchez at burnley or Kaku at cp...toughie for me
Overall maybe happier if Kun gets a rest vs celtic
Scoutcast is over
As in its finished last night or they've stopped doing it?
Finished last night
Thank the Lord
Nice one Ruth thanks
A. KDB->Sanchez; Firmino->Lallana (-4)
B. KDB->Sanchez; Bolasie->Snodgrass (-4)
Only KDB->Sanchez; 0.3 mil short.
Suggest please!!!
B
I wouldn't take -4 to switch from one liverpool player to the other. U never know who scores
Then, apart from Sanchez, which midfielder will be the best nailed and deserving to replace KDB?
I don't any Arsenal and Man City Player at the moment 🙁
Predict who will the be most popular captain choice for:
1. Top 10k
2. Overall
Aguero
Ibra
1 sanchez
2 Ibra
Which pair will get more points this gw?
a. mata deeney
b. Walcott rashford
A
c Waldcott Deeney best for next 4 this gameweek they all unclear but Rashford and Mata become more worthy
Good shout but no united this gw is a scary thought
Thoughts on San(c)hez v Burnley? Burnley have been very tight at home, with two clean sheets from three home games. They CAN shut down teams at home.
I also don't feel like captaining Kun away to Tottenham (a totally different outfit since City smashed them a couple of seasons back). Kun won't score more than 1 max 2 v Spurs.
Hard decision. Which other players do u have in your team?
I would maybe go with sanchez
Burnley have gone 10 months without conceding twice in a home game and are notoriously resilient at Turf Moor.
Last time they were in the PL they kept 7 clean sheets in 19 home games (including against both Manchester clubs and Spurs) and the game against Arsenal was 0-1. They only conceded 21 goals in those 19 home PL games. And they started that season with no PL experience to speak of, unlike this time.
They will set up in a 4-5-1 with deep defence and a hard-working midfield shield, just the kind of team Arsenal often struggle against. I wouldn't be captaining Sanchez for that game when there are other good/better options.
who are the better options?
i probably will go with Mane
Zlatan, Kun, Lukaku...
Anyone captaining a Liverpool mid?
No.. Can't be sure who'll get the haul! 🙂
So captain the one you have.. Points are usually shared between them anyway
If I had Lallana, Couts or Mane I'd definitely consider it - they look like scoring 5 every game. That's 10 scoring opportunities spread out amongst 4 or 5 players (probably)
I have both Mane and Lallana. Think I may go Mane as I just trust him more.
If u go, go with mane he is the most explosive in my opinion
I'd be tempted to Captain Mane if i didn't have IBra.
Yeah Ibra seems the most sensible pick in terms of both form and fixture. I don't have him either.
I mean I don't have him.
How will Arsenal go about unlocking Burnley?
Im thinking Ozil will be the key, they going to have to pass through them.
Maybe Xhaka with a long shot
Ozil and Iwobi and Santi. All 3 are responsible for passes between the lines.
I'm very interested to see how Xhaka and Santi play. Arsene didn't start Xhaka to start yet since Xhaka hogs the ball a lot (check his number of passes) and he wanted the play to flow through Mesut and Santi.
I don't know and not sure they will figure it out. Thats why Sanchez ain't getting the arm band
Who do u give your armband?
Kun or someone else?
Lukaku for me at the moment
But they played poor last game, didn't they?
Just going Kun and for the next 31 fixtures too.
I agree if they unlock the defense it'll be Ozil who does it for sure. I think Wenger is better at figuring these things out than Klopp is as well.
Quick passing between Caz Ozil and Iwobi is the key
If Arsenal get a goal early in either halves,Burnley could end up conceding a few
Anything is possible of course but I doubt Burnley would be fazed by conceding. Nothing would change, they would then be equally determined not to concede 2. Meanwhile they will be hoping they can nick something from a set piece.
It's unlikely to be a pretty game for Arsenal.
Foster
Baines valencia djilobodji
Firmino antonio sanchez capoue snodgrass
Kun lukaku
Heaton gray pieters friend
I have 1FT 1.7 ITB, no wildcard played.
What would u do guys?
Gray --> defoe
Or change something in defence like pieters out for instance?
Apologies that this might have already been asked before.
Is Aguero's price still locked? If yes, until when?
Thursday I Friday I think. 10 days from Mickey mouse cup game I think.
Think Costa/Haz owners might be in for a haul this GW.
I think they both will make points even against the bigger teams
Costa maybe, dont see Haz being involved. I am really really not seeing anything in our game thats different fron last season. Only highlight so far is Costa and how he plays / moves / attitude.
How so?
A. KDB->Sanchez; Firmino->Lallana
B. KDB->Sanchez; Bolasie->Snodgrass
This makes my attacking line:
Bolasie/Snodgrass, Firmino/Lallana, Antonio, Capoue, Sanchez
Ibra, Lukaku, Costa
Suggestions please..
Just KdB to Sanchez. Bolasie and Firmino both with good fixtures. Can't afford it?
It results -0.3 mil for just KDB->Sacnchez
Then what about
A. Capoue, Firmino, Antonio, Bolasie (KDB)
B. KDB-??? (bench Bolasie/Capoue !!)
My front three are Ibra, Lukaku, Costa
Different kind of football alert!!!!!
I got roped into a fantasy NFL league does anybody know of a site similar to this?
Help much appreciated as I am not doing to well
I get by quite well reading the "Start 'em, sit 'em" and Waiver Wire-target posts on the main NFL site, as well as just reading up on individual player news. Would love a good site for it though.
Masuaku dropping when he was on -33% on FFFix is bloody frustrating.
Little help for a draft league?
Need to set my auto pick. Tops 6-7 strikers to have in order?
1.Aguero
2. Ibra
3. Sanchez
4 Costa
5. Lukaku
6. Kane
7. Vardy
Really really unsure. Think Aguero top and Vardy bottom, rest could easily switch.
*Sanchez listed as striker.
Kane seems too low down there!
start Clyne vs swansea or Evans vs sunderland?
I'd never bench clyne
Clyne for me Siva. (Especially if you have Foster)
Cech in goal.. no Foster
Morning dzzz, thinking of using my FT to get a defender and play AOA. at the moment, only have 1 def with a good fix. Not sure if i shd get a cheap or exp defender as i am still deciding whether to WC on friday
foster --- jaku
valencia stones --- friend pieters souare
firmino ozil antonio sterling capoue
kaku ibra benteke
A: friend >> blind/ivanovic/bellerin...and WC next gw to get kun
B: benteke >> rashford..higher points ceiling for rashford over def?
C: friend >> holebas and leaving funds itb to do ibra >> kun on friday thereby not necessary to play WC. Although i was thinking of changing my entire defence with the WC...happy with my mid
A Bellerin
Please can anyone help with:
1) I have £5m for a defender - who to get?
2) I had lost my patience with Redmond, but he posted impressive numbers in this week's Big Numbers article. Stick or twist?
Cedric the best but fixtures not great. Lovren
Yeah, fixtures not great. So hard to find a good defender with fixtures.
Who would you bench this week ?
A. Capoue (BOU)
B Redmond (lei)
C. Tekkers (eve)
B
Capoue
A. Quite comfortably.
Burnley lost to Swansea to home
and draw 1-1 to Hull.
7 years, 8 months agoSo, how worried are people about Antonio's short stint at RB during the last 20 minutes of the game? Time to ship him?
