It’s time for the first members article of the international break now, as we delve into the data from Gameweek 7.
Alexis Sanchez, Sergio Aguero and Zlatan Ibrahimovic come under analysis after their Gameweek 7 armband failures.
Paul Pogba’s improved displays without Wayne Rooney in the Man United XI and Nacer Chadli’s start to life at the Hawthorns are also assessed.
What to do?
Foster/Pickford
Coleman/Stones/McAuley/Holebas/Amat
Firmino/Stirling/Antonio/Capoue/Hojbjerg
Aguero/Ibra/Costa
1FT 0.7ITB
Considering downgrading Ibra to Benteke, which would allow me to upgrade Hojbjerg to Son, Walcott or Cazorla next round. Good plan?
Really guys people still holding on to Ibra need to accept they made the wrong decisin keeping him. Made sense keeping him for leic and even made sense keeping for stoke with his rapid price falls.
But time to get rid now. Liv & che next. No doubt can jump back on if he hits form again later down the line. But a team who barely beat Zorya, drew with bloody stoke and there 11.5m talisman blanking in all these games. Alarm bells should be ringing.
This game is about getting the players at the right time.
Dont. You will get a lot of this is why you keep him. Even when you say he isn't a bad pick but just 1 now they still dont listen. Until someone comes up with an actual valid point to keep then it is all nonsense. He has only had 2 decent GWs and that was the first 2.
For sure. They can talk about his underlying stats but nothing more valuable than the eye test. Utd are really really off the boil just now.
They aren't off the boil though, just not converting the chances. There's clearly a difference. What eye test are you taking? Thrashed the champions, and should've comfortably beaten Stoke(yes i know it's only Stoke). 15 goals scored in 7 matches is only 3 less than pool and city.
Did you see them against Zorya? Even against Stoke they couldnt finish them off.
Liverpool and Chelsea have been very shaky at the back to be fair. No reason Ibra can't turn things around soon (not saying he's worth his price, but the fixtures aren't as bad as your'e making out).
Nothing in 4goals vs leic. 1pt vs stoke who conceded the most set pieces in the league or something along those lines with headed goals. Liv and che nowhere near as bad as them
They'll approach the game differently though. I don't know how Stoke held on but they did...'Pool especially, and even Chelsea playing at home, will come out and attack - and that'll leave chances in behind.
Thia game is about odds...i assumed that Ibra will get lots of chances vs Stoke and that a player of his qualitiy will finish some of them. It was a good bet with odds on my side that didn't went through, but i would bet on this odds every time. Remeber last year how punished were Kun sellers after he was blanking (with good stats) at the begining of then season, he scored 5 vs Newcastle nad most of the people that had him put a (C) on him. Something simmilar could have happened this GW with Ibra but a little luck was missing.
If injuries are no issue by the next GW would you go
A. Lovren & Cedric
B. Clyne & Holebas
A
B
Thanks, why?
Attacking potential.
A. Wouldn't pay 5.5 for a Pool defender and Cedric is a great pick
Cedric + Holebas
I wouldn't be buying defenders from teams that have no interest in clean sheets nor decent attacking threat from the back 3
What do you think lads, 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 ?
Mane, Sanchez, Son, Sterling, WALCOTT
Kun, Lukaku,
Mane, Sanchez, Son, Sterling
Kun, Lukaku, DEENEY
I like 3-5-2 but cant decide...
It actually comes down to you 5th mid and 3rd forward tbh..
walcott
he'll score similar amount of goals with cs points and midfield extra pts
Hey all,
A few of us from the community here have started a whatsapp group for anyone that plays FIFA 17. We are recruiting more and hoping to get a tournament started at some point in the near future.
Let me know by either replying to this post or sending me an email whether you are interested in joining!
Thanks
My email is derekgoud9@Gmail.com
Ps4 or Xbox?
It's on PS4
Ahhh PS4. Sorry, forgot to throw that in there
I play in PC. Can I join?
It's for PS4, sorry! Forgot to add that in there.
A: Benteke & Snodgrass
B: Wilson & Son
?
That's tough.
I know right
B. I think Wilson could be on the brink of a good run. Bournemouth seem to be improving and they have great fixtures coming up. We all know how well Son is doing
A
C. Austin and Son
This
Also this
Snod and Son and go 3-5-2?
This
B
Wilson has fixtures and Son is just on fire, a must have IMO.
Thoughts on Joe Allen as a Capoue replacement. Would rotate with Snodders for the next few gws.
- Can't see Capoue rising anymore
- Advanced position
- Involved in most of Stokes goals
- Potential to quickly rise with a couple more returns in the next week or two
I like it, could be the next Capoue.
But him and Snoddy have amazing fixtures, wouldn't bench Snoddy in that run.
6 weeks of good fixtures coming up as well, whether a starter or on your bench. Will be tempting to a lot of people no doubt. Another 0.1 rise for Capoue would be nice as I could then bank a profit on the swap. At the moment it would be like for like cash-wise for me, and as a 5th midfielder permanently benched probably a bit of a waste of a transfer, given Capoue still has 3 good fixtures left before they turn. Having said that if I find myself with a FT to burn and nothing more pressing, I'll look at doing it.
No room for cheap mids anymore. It's all about a power 5:
Sanchez Walcott Son Sterling Firmino
Defence is
Heaton Pickford
Valencia Baines Lovren McAuley Amat
Over next 2 game weeks thinking of doing Baines to Mustafi and Valencia to Bellerin. Is doubling up Arsenal defence a good idea? Paid for by either
A Ozil to Walcott
B Antonio Snodgrass
Doubling up on Arsenal and Spurs defence seems a much better idea.
rather have4 one each from spurs and ars
Who to sell for Koscielny ?
a/ Baines
b/ Valencia
Thanks.
B
B, I'm doint the same.
B
B
Nice to see some stats on defenders -- that has been the biggest area of weakness for my team so far. Several of these guys look promising.
New crowd, old post 🙂
Little help.
A) Lukaku and Pieters
B) Benteke and Walker
WC active.
Marshall Pickford
Koscielny __________ Smith Holebas Amat
Sanchez Firmino Son Walcott Mayler
Aguero ___________ Deeney
Nothing in the bank.
Thanks.
B
touggh one , A just about
I think B is ultimately better given the fixtures, but you're losing some flexibility for future transfers by spreading the cash around
Yeah, that's a worry. Cheers.
I don't trust Stoke atm so B.
A for me. No much points from
defenders these days with few CS, you have 1 premium def and can rotate the others. Lukaku will outscore benteke heavily IMO.
Jesus, a dead team at 8th overall... no transfers, no captain changes, no Kun, Zlat or Alexis!
*Subs in Spuds & Gooners defenders*
A dead team could win FPL every year if picked perfectly.
That is my plan, at least. This gameweek: Baines to Bellerin. Next: Valencia to Rose. I think the biggest mistake people in here make is to view any goalkeeper/defender combination (back seven) of a total cost above £30 as way to expensive.
WC tinkering. Thoughts on/rate this one
Grant Pick
Stones Walker Koscielny Amat Lenihan
Sanchez Walcott Mane Payet Snodgrass
Aguero Defoe Diomande
Lovely midfield.
Just the keepers are a worry. Perhaps Stones to Holebas and upgrade a keeper?
would leave my defence vvvvv dry haha
I'll downgrade Defoe to Austin and upgrade when Buttland returns
Payet is a bit of a gamble given their form. Also don't fancy Stones personally. I would downgrade him to Smith.
you would prolly love my current team haha
Grant Pick
Smith Walker Kosc Amat 3.9
Sanchez Walcott Coutinho Son Carrick
Deeney Lukaku Aguero
Alternate team(above) pits Payet vs Kaku and Snodgrass vs Deeney.
Does Lenihan play?
For Ireland's U-21 team, yes
I remember when Vertonghen was a HUGE goal threat. Whats happened to his attacking prowess the past 2 seasons? Got him at 5.5 but Considerin an upgrade to Rose instead
I know right.. goal threat seems to have gone. Perhaps the injury.
I've just got him in so hoping this changes quick!
I can only guess that he doesn't get into the positions anymore, maybe his role has changed. For the 5+ years before he was by far the more attacking of him and Alderweireld, with the goals and assists to back it up
Alder happened.
Who will score the most FPL points between now and the end of the season?
A.) Bolasie, Mirallas, Alli or Mahrez?
B.) Bony, Wilson or Slimani?
Alli and slimani
A) Alli
B) Slimani
Agree with above Alli and Slimani
I've done
Antonio -> Son
De Roon -> Sanchez
Ibra -> Stuani
for a -4
Leaves me with a team of
Heaton - Robinson
Baines - Valencia - Evans - Kone - Amat
Sanchez - Firmino - Sterling - Son - Snodgrass
Aguero - Lukaku - Stuani
Will be playing 3-5-2 each week with a decent 3rd striker as 1st sub.
Thoughts?
Looong international break now hoping for no injuries. Team looking good though, looking to get Snodgrass in this week.
A) snoddy and bellerin
B) Son and Pieters
A
A
even if snoddy not on pens when hernandez on the field ? :O
there's a very good chance Snodgrass is their #1 penalty taker.
Hernandez was taking penalties during Snod's long injury, but i do not
think he has ever taken one when Snod was on the field. i could be
wrong about that, though.
A
A
If injury free internationals:
Lukaku and Valencia -> Deeney and Walker -4?
Kill your darlings #kaku
Just do Valencia to Walker/Arsenal def?
Removing Lukaku for a hit is.....strange
Sure, but Deeney looks good and goes on a nice run of fixtures. It would also free some funds to get Sanchez later on
When's later on supposed to be?
GW 9
Lukaku to Deeney for a hit? i don't think so.
Valenica to Walker for free looks ok.
Tekkers> Deeney and Valencia/Morgan > any spurs defender?
Worth a -4?
Nope
Wouldn't sell Tekkers before WHU.
Keep Benteke
no
Comaprison Tools -> Aguero 2015, Gameweek Range 1 - 7 vs Ibra 2016 Gameweek Range 1 - 7
🤔
Again, comparing a consistent performer for god knows how many seasons in the PL to someone who is not and has still to prove his worth is pointless IMO.
it's a lovely little crusade you've got yourself into but you simply can't argue that Ibra isn't a consistent performer. He has scored buckets of goals EVERYWHERE he has played. He does not need to prove his worth
Again, you have not understood my post. AGAIN. He hasn't showed anything in PL and again others are outscoring him so my point is NOT he wont score points it is he isn't/wont score more with Snodgrass compared to Costa + Walcott/Sterling. This is what the facts show now. Do you get this now as if not I seriously give up. You are obviously and Ibra owner.
Is the PL much different to playing English teams in the Champions League? Is 4 goals in 7 not something in the PL?
it's an absolute nonsense to say Ibra hasn't shown anything in the PL. He's got 4 in 7. This after just joining a new club - a 57% goals to games record. Aguero's career PL record is 69%. Not a huge difference, and it doesn't include assists of course.
I have Ibra currently, but am considering selling. That's not the point though.
Again, forget what he has scored and compare with the players I mentioned. He is not worth the money and that money gets you even more points. Please understand this as I am getting completely bored with this.
Shall we forget what Costa has scored too?
If we do then defeats the point of what I am saying so I would go as far to say as no. If you can't understand what I am saying then that is fine but is is obvious. To me anyway.
One rule for Ibra, another rule for others. Got it. 👍
So you dont understand my argument then and price differences? Got it.
If we've all got it that sounds like a wrap. Great take everybody.
🎬
Plus, I owned Ibra at the start so no it isn't 1 rule for him.
look there are some legitimate points that you have made, so I'm not arguing whether x has scored more point so far than y. This is the nature of FPL, we all need to make choices. But you have to be held account for such ludicrous statements such as the above.
Dont feed the troll. Worsel is the same guy who said Laku was the worst pick in the game. That Dimonade and jaku are great picks. Best to just ignore him
This is the guy who bet Bubz 100 that Jaku would be dropped immediately then he wasn't. Wouldn't listen to him.
I have never owned Diamonde either so you are lying. AGAIN.
Let me guess, similar stats, but one comes with goals included?
Are you a script writer/coder or more spreadsheet sorta clever blogs?
*clogs
Perhaps a blog about clogs? I would read that!
I'm on it. Will write it in Dutch.
I thought clever blogs was Triggerlips 😉
Compare their shot maps though....
Indeed.
🤔
I think the point hes trying to make, however ungracefully is that Costa + $1.4m will score more than Ibra... A point i happen to agree with in the short term but couldn't commit to over the course of the season.
Right Guys, Gals, Other
Think I am done with my team now, see below, thoughts appreciated on improvements if any?? or G2G
Cech
Vert Matip Smith
Sanchez Milner Son Firmino
Aguero Austin Costa
Grant Fletcher Amat 4mil
Thanks!
Solid team. I lile the Milner pick
why matip instead of lovren
Wild card team?
any idea on cities preferred backline going forward ? may invest with incoming fixtures...
Think it's still a bit of a minefield myself. At the moment I'd only consider bravo
Stones is pretty nailed. Full backs will rotate as ever. Otamendi should also play until Kompany returns but he's pricey and a YC magnet.
deeney (3-4-3) or son (3-5-2) ? benchfodders would be capoue and diomande respectively.
rest of he wc team:
karius (pickford)
vert kosc smith (robertson/pieters amat)
sanchez cout wally snodgrass _____
kun lukaku _____
I'm a 3-4-3 man. as well as Son has done, when Kane comes back he will be subject to rotation
i'm in a similar situation, going Capoe 5th mid & decent CF as 3rd
RMT please !
Jaku
Collins / Walker / Evans
Walcott / Sterling / Coutinho / Antonio
Lukaku / Costa / Aguero
Foster / Capoue / Amat / Kingsley
Collins Jaku Kingsley need to go, otherwise squad is pretty solid. Consider Pickford, Pieters etc as replacements. Lack of Sanchez is a worry. Maybe do Antonio to Son or if looking to raise cash, Snodgrass and upgrade Kingsley
Jaku lost place i think? Marshall started last 2.
Love a starter these days? maybe switch Kingsley
Awesome, only thing I dont like is Capoue on the bench. If hes always gonna be benched which given the strength of your mids/fwds I guess he is then put in someone who's 4.4/4.5 and use the change to upgrade Collins.
Could also Downgrade Kaku or Costa to fund Wally to Sanchez but thats making it very template and i presume you've avoided that intentionally so go with your gut 😉
Hey guys
Thinking of Antonio to either one, just cannot decide?
Walcott - Next 2 fixtures both at home to SWA & MID - Form 7.3
Son - Next 2 fixtures both away to WBA & BOU - Form 10.8 ( maybe rested due to travelling back from Korea)
i'm going walcott (have Sanchez but i think it's worth a double up)
Also have Sanchez and was thinking the same thing, those home games are hard to resist
Does Doosra still post on here? not seen him about in a very long time
His West Ham and FPL teams find themselves in a relegation battle currently
Weird. I just thought the same thing so ctrl + f'd Doosra and found this
on WC:
A: Grant + Smith + 0.4m itb
or
B: Boruc + Holebas +0.0m itb
(other GK is Pickford)
good talk lads...
I'd say A, both options seem to have roughly the same point potential in upcoming fixtures so go with the extra money ITB
PickFord jak
Baines walker lovern kos Amat
Sanchez Antonio capoue firmino snodgrass
Aguero lukaku Deeney
2 frees and 0.5 in the bank
Any idea what I should do
Antonio to Walcott or son for free
Baines to ?
Need to do something or will lose my transfer.
Cheers
can you afford Antonio to Walcott w/o using 2nd FT?
if yes jut do that imo
Yeah can do.probably go Antonio to son .cheers
You are in the same boat as me.
I'm doing Jaku --> Grant. And playing him instead of PICKFORD for next 3 games
anyone considering allen as fourth mid over snoddy by virtue of his position price and playing for the better team?
not i. Snoddy looks good & has great fixtures
Is it safest to wait until after the internationals to make transfers
it is... but that's no fun 🙂
if you are not dependent then def wait
If price changes weren't a thing.
of course
Considering Shaqiri in for Antonio to finance my Bellerin move... Is that crazy? He'd me my 3rd mid (have Capoue for now)...
what's your midfield
it's not a good idea, imo.
find another way to get Bellerin.
Could do lovren and Williams out for Mustafi and Holebas to get the arsenal cover
looks better, if you have 2 FT's.
Yeah I do.
Could do Kosc and Pieters/Cameron in instead?
i don't trust the Stoke defense until Butland comes back, although Cameron OOP is
a whole other thing to think about . . . i think i don't trust Stoke in general.
Holebas looks very attacking to me, has a lot of set pieces, gets some shots on goal.
he does have 4 YC, though.
a lot to think about . . . i prefer Mustafi & Holebas in.
wait until the international games are played out, of course. a key injury to your team
changes the whole picture.
Hey mate thanks again for the sound advice.
I see what youre saying about the Stoke defence, there's definitely a lot of difference between Cameron/Pieters or Holebas. Plus I'm not sure I'd trust Cameron to hold his place.
Mustafi and Holebas definitely looking a likely combo. Maybe Monreal but he's so unattacking I might as well gamble on Mustafi.
Thanks man
you're welcome
