It’s time to delve into the Gameweek 8 Opta data now, in our first member’s article of the week. A host of midfielders jostle for our attention, as we check in on Southampton, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Stoke’s top performers.
Shocking top of the page comment 🙁
Currently have Coutinho Firmino and Clyne
I am toying with removing Clyne and adding Lallana, is that mental or worth a go ?
Still not overly convinced on Pools defence but 3 pool mids could prove very fruitful with those fixturesNot worth it imo. Restricts your options for other mids
I just see goals, goals and more goals at the expense of conceding a few silly goals themselves
It's almost a case of we will score more than you so it doesn't matter type of tactics
I think you have it right at the moment
cheers for the input both
Way too much for my taste. I own two and think that's a bit risky.
cool cheers
Could someone please explain the bet 365 in play bet ? . Any recommendations on how to do it ?
Need £100 in your acc.
I've put the pre match £50 bet on 'UNDER 4.5 2nd half goals' which is very safe.
Then, punt the other £50 on whatever you fancy in play. If that bet loses you get the £50 back as cash.If you're going for risk free profit the golden rule is the in-play bet has to be greater than evens
And obviously cover the opposite outcome with your other bet
If you want a literally free bet.
Then do 'Barca & draw' in the prematch bet.
And back City in play.
I've done City or Barca, and backing draw inplay
Over 0.5 safer than under 4.5 second half goals with the line ups :). Draw in play was good value but can't see it
Thanks lads
Krul beat me to it Adam !
Also take these offers whenever you can . Doesn't take them too long to stop sending the e mails when they know that you have twigged the way to play it. Make sure that you use the full 50 notes - there's no point messing around with fivers. Demi's approach is bombproof.
Thanks a million Slouch 🙂
50 on over 0.5 goals pre match
Then 50 on 0-0 in play
Winner winner chicken dinner 🙂
What would you do with this?
1 FT - 1m ITB
Heaton, Pickford
Bellerin, Stones, Kaboul, Evans, Amat
Sanchez, Sterling, Coutinho, Capoue, de Roon
Aguero, Lukaku, Deeney
I was thinking of Sterling ➡ Walcott
Did the same, I think it's a sensible move, especially if you plan on KDBing in a couple of weeks like I am
Imagine if City pull off a convincing win today, might mean Aguero is no longer nailed on in any competition
Barca are finally at full strength with Messi, Neymar and Suarez back starting for the first time in about a month. With City lacking Kompany, and Kolarov in there, I expect Barca to win convincingly. However, if City can play the Atletico Madrid game, be strong defensively, and and counter quickly (Sterling is critical here), they could pull it off.
Don't think City'd defence is sturdy enough to pull that off, we'll see
Minor correction. Sergi Roberto is out, and Mascherano is seemingly playing right back. That is unusual, but he is versatile.
Maybe longer term.
But if they beat Barca and Aguero only has a cameo/doesn't play that nails him for Southampton
Pick 7 players to start tonight and a captain lads !!
Marcelo ( 5 points ) Pareja ( 5 points ) Hummels Koscielny Savic
Carrasco Robben Ozil
WalcottAll this speculation about Aguero. Just want Pep to come out and say. "he took a little knock in training and we thought it was best not to risk him from the start tonight"
The fact he didn't is pretty damning
Given that Iheanacho is also not starting, it does suggest a tactical move. Still, quite a surprise.
''Aguero's not good enough for City, he'll be gone in January''
Haha.
You can be sure we'll get some news from the post-match presser.What if it's just a tactical decision. Wouldn't affect fpl then, no team like Barca in the prem
The previous weekend already showed Pep is a unreliable with regard to his comments pre-match. Wouldn't take his word for it. 😉
What was unreliable about what he said?
I meant his comments about only thinking about the next match and seemingly indicating his best team would play against Everton. Only for Kun to be rested.
Just realized if he actually meant it and we are seeing it today with Kun missing from the starting lineup, he is no longer first choice??? #jumpingtoconclusions
I was trying to draw this conclusion out 😉
#illuminaticonfirmed
UCL dilemmas:
1. Areola or 3 pts
2. Grimaldo or 5 pts
3. Switch (c) from Ronaldo to Lewa?
I'm thinking yes, no, noYes No Yes
thanks!
Areola
No
Noon this myself. thanks!
yes, no, yes
thanks! 🙂
Who have you got playing in UCL tonight?
Walcott Robben ADM Godin Juanfran to play here.Asenal - Ludogorets
Bayern - PSV
Rostov - Atletico
Predictions ??2-0
3-1
0-1
Areola, Lewandowski and Alaba. Grimaldo stays on bench.
My 2 DraftKings lineups are:
Moraes, Gibbs, Kurzawa, Moura, Ox, Mertens, Robben, Lewandowski
Sommer, Gibbs, Kurzawa, Griezmann, Ox, Cavani, Hahn, Walcott
Areola, Luis, Grimaldo, Carrasco, Messi.
Kimmich, bench
Rested for the weekend. Armband sorted 🙂
Aguero has not even emerged to warm up with City's other subs. Something amiss there #MCFC @mirrorfootball
https://twitter.com/DiscoMirror/status/788807641309057024@DiscoMirror 39s40 seconds ago Barcelona, Spain
Aguero has not even emerged to warm up with City's other subs. Something amiss there #MCFCwhat the.....
Oh dear....I shouldn't have made my transfers already 😳
Uh Oh
A) Godda knock and they don't want Barca to know
B) Toys out of pram
[it wanted to correct "pram" to "Prem" OMG IT'S A SIGN!!]
Stick or twist C: 20 min to go
go Captain w/ Neymar or Suarez MCI, or stick with CRonaldo's 14 pts?
Aguero is the only one of the seven subs not out warming up. #MCFC
Second half to be the highest scoring half @ 1.95 pre match
Draw/Barca HT/FT inplay @4.33
That'll be meAsenal - Ludogorets
Bayern - PSV
Rostov - Atletico
Predictions ??Buzzing for the game tonight.
I will be content with a draw.
talksport reporting a bust up between aguero and guardiola after he returned from international duty and again tonight
it is adrian durham though, take it with a pinch of salt
Can you imagine if Guardiola does a Joe Hart on Aguero? Would shake up FPL in a pretty major way.
I wonder if the Spanish La Liga version of fantasy football is popular...
Choosing between Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Neymar, Griezmann, Bale, Benzema etc must be impossible!I think no,
Scoring system is different
Which makes more sense:
A) Sterling, Antonio> KDB, Allen
B) Antonio, Rashford > Lallana, Austin
Thanks
Kun > Stuani ? -8
Wilson or Austin, whichever you don't have
Aguero is the only one of the seven subs not out warming up. #MCFC
https://twitter.com/StuBrennanMEN/status/788807763019333632
Baines > Lovren to fund Payet > KDB next week?
Aguero bviously hasn't taken the news well, when told that he will be on the bench. Again.
Could be another Carlos Tevez situation.
Hi guys, my team
Heaton
Williams, Walker, Holebas
Firmino, Sanchez (c), Walcott, Snodgrass
Austin, Lukaku, Aguero
bench: Pickford, Amat, Capoue, Evans
I have no FT left but I'm considering Snodgrass > Lallana/Siggy for a -4 .. worth it do you think?Wait for Aguero news. I'd keep Snodgrass though.
Give Snodderific last chance home to Stoke
Pep interview on BT, says no injury
Really?!
Oh my goodness. I cannot actually believe he would drop Kun for this game. EVER
Anne @Annemcfc9320 7m7 minutes ago
@StuBrennanMEN he didn't warm up Sat either, I think he is carrying a slight knock #imo
#TrustInAnneI trust Demi more.
#sorryAnne
@City_Watch 4s5 seconds ago
Pep tells @btsport that Aguero is benched because he wants more bodies in midfield tonight.I'm truly amazed.
pheeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....................
big statement that
doesn't explain why he isn't warming up though
He looked annoyed at being asked about Aguero
Had Aguero and Capoue to KDB and Austin mentally prepared
Do you think Sterling starts on the weekend? Tempted to sell him
Gotta wait for this game to end then it's deep thinking time
Bolasie to Lallana worth a hit ? Already have Firmino
7 years, 7 months agoIs the Stoke presser tomorrow?
