Our first members article of the week delves into the Gameweek 10 data. We take time to assess the recent ascent of Joe Allen and Eden Hazard and analyse the City and United attacks, before casting an eye over Bournemouth’s improving playmaker and Tottenham’s raiding left-back.
Sanchez to De bruyne .. Stupid move ?
no
Not stupid no, possibly a luxury transfer though.
For example I am sure you must have one or Two weak links that could do with sorting out rather than making a glamour transfer
What should i do guys? Looking to get rid of walcott/capoue....
Heaton jaku
Kosc lovren a.smith mcauley amat
Sanchez walcott firm cout capoue
Aguero lukaku austin
1FT 0.0ITB
A. Walcott/capoue to Sterling/4.3 (-4)
B. Hold walcott, cash in on capoue to 4.3
C. Walcott to ?? 7.8 budget
D. Save
Why Walcott? Mind blowing. A very minor injury and has scored loads of points.
Capou makes sense for profit reasons only.
who to play
a)blind
b)stones
B

Coleman > Fuchs for a hit ?
Not for a hit
Thanks mate
Would you play AOA with the team below. If yes, who would you bench from defense?
Heaton
Walker Holebas Kelly
Sanchez (V) Coutinho Firmino Gundogan
Kun (C) Lukaku Wilson
Pickford Allen Williams Amat
2,4 ITB
Yes. Bench Holebas.
Go for it and bench Kelly. Walker & Holebas provide the best chance of attacking returns.
Thanks mates. I am between benching Holebas and Kelly as well.
Heaton
Smith, Stones, Pieters
Walcott, Coutinho, Özil, Redmond
Agüero, Costa, Lukaku
Robinson, Evans, Capoue, Amat
£1.1m ITB
I know the defence isn't the strongest but looking to do Özil ➡️ De Bruyne this week.
Thoughts?I would do. Team looks great btw.
Thanks mate.
I think now's a good time to jump on De Bruyne before the rush. I have a hunch he'll have a big game against Boro and then everyone will want him in.
Save
Any particular reason for saving mate? Would appreciate the feedback!
Nice side. Maybe a little fore in defense.
Yeah I'm a bit light at the back currently, mostly because a lot of my funds are tied up in my front three and I can't let any of them go right now!
wait until pressers if you can...not totally sold that walcott has recovered, especially with hammys
Good point. Might be a Saturday morning transfer. I usually move early to avoid price rises but I don't think De Bruyne will rise before then.
I would defo make that transfer mate City are cruising!
A Twitter search for 'Walcott Injury' shows a lot of people magically predicting he would break down. Par for the course.
There's no way he's playing this weekend is there?Who knows, it is an important fixture so Wenger will play mindgames.
If Walcott is fot he plays, however it would not be beyond Wenger to be keeping
quiet about any injury he does haveLooks like he's dropping tomorrow as well. Last drop didn't cost me but this one will. Are you holding or already ditched?
Downplaying the injury doesn't make sense to me as surely it will only lift Tottenham to see Walcott is missing from the team sheet. Poch won't change his system regardless of how Arsenal line up
FWIW I am holding. The next drop won't affect the selling value of my squad and I have already taken a 4 point hit this week.
Hopeful he will play rather than optimisticThere's also some decent options in the event we do have to sell. Only thing is it will leave me without any arsenal attacking cover.
Im very worried about this week. No Southampton cover, only Aguero for City cover, have a bad feeling
about it. Defence and keeper poor. Deeney and Lukaku tough fixtures. Coming off a ton but expect some regression
It's often the weeks you think will be awful that turn out great. Nice going this season by the way. Comfortably my worst ever start!
Early days, especially with the chips, most the casuals abbove yo will have used them up probably.
Last year i was at 1m after 24 weeks and still finished 30k so you plenty of time to get it right
Austin for Deeney?
Have to do Valencia to Fuchs with the free and not a great believer in hits
Have only made 8 transfers all season
Me neither. Only one hit so far (Hazard in gw3) and that was one too many
reckon valencia is your first priority to shift...would you be taking a hit for the rest?
Oops you answer my question alr..pls ignore
Capoue - > Allen
Or
Shaw - > Fuchs
Both for a - 4 hit?
Don't have the funds to upgrade to Gundogan atm. Maybe I will transfer out Sterling to Ilkay next GWs.
Is Capoue your 4th or 5th mid? If 4th get Allen
He was my 5th so far. So, I have Walcott, Sterling, Firmino, Coutinho and Capoue in the middle.
I am heavily doubtful about Walcott this GW. Can't decide whether to go for Gundogan for Sterling or Allen for Capoue, putting Wally to the bench.
Also, looking at Allen's upcoming favorable fixtures. Just don't want to suffer another price rise.Even if its for a hit? also pondering the same but Liverpool don't keep clean sheets...
But we are talking Capoue here Ozil. Watford couldnt even score v Hull OG wasn't it?
Haha true, he has blacked in the last 5 gameweeks, so maybe its worth the risk...
*blanked
United against Swansea good chance of a clean sheet. Capoue - Allen.
This
True... Actually I was eyeing Daniels/Smith against Sunderland... Attacking potential and cheaper.
Why sell Shaw away to Swansea?
I have same mid field. Was going to do exactly the same.capoe to Gundo and Williams to Fuchs.I'd moses better though
Morning DZ. For the next two only-
Redmond (hull, LIV)
OR
Gundogan (MID, cry)I've gone Gun I suggest you do the same 🙂
BB-8 are you wanting to get involved in the Chili Bowl comp? I'm building a team if your keen to join?
Sure mate. Always up for a comp
jpr2079@gmail.com do you use whatsup? If so flick me your number as I've started a group
Yup. Will do
You think he can keep it up? Hull are awful, thinking Redmond can have a field day..
I think City will score more over the next 3 so I think he has a better chance of getting more points.
I also would like to add I'd rather have Austin as 3rd forward spot and didn't want to double up on Saints so I'm holing out for Austin in a few GWS
Forward line is Kun Costa Lukaku. No room for Austin in the coming weeks at least..
Redmond. Not convinced the Günslinger will keep firing.
This
They said the same about Allen 🙂 stats have looked great for the Gun.
Allen & Redmond both nailed though. Gündogan is a rotation risk.
P.S - I'm just bitter because I had Gün a few weeks ago and he did nothing for me
Stats are better in the champions league and picking up now in the prem..
Very close. I picked Gundogan just thinking he will at least bring some money even if not points. He is on fire and may easily continue. Southampton is not a high scoring team is another drawback for Redmond.
Leaning to this. At least, we will get profit.
Missed out on the .2 rise for Gund. All about the points now..
Keep in mind for Allen's next game Shaq is a possible no show due hamstring issue and Arnie has a one game band. Don't know if Allen can carry the team himself.
*ban (American spelling)
Anyone else only made 8 transfers this season?
9. Just the one hit. That's not like me. Usually love taking hits.
Only time I would have used hits was instead of the wildcard. Only take hits to take out injuries,
otherwise find there too big a risk they backfireI've taken hits in the last 3 GWs net gain 1pt 🙂
13/14 here love to tinker
8 for me
That's 2 game weeks worth for me. Love trying to win the lottery!
10, 1 hit
7 for me. Around 37k. Two free this week but will probably take a hit on top of those two. Team linked. Antonio, Rashford/ Lukaku out for sterling / Austin.
20 🙂 around 500k but thats becouse I missed on Sanchez and Aguero points last GW and had Aguero captain when he got-2 points. My team value is 14.8 now.
9 for me..kind of paid off..baines antonio to lovren coutinho -4 gw10..ended gw with 0 bench pts..
Giroud anyone?
will you still keep ozil/sanchez/wally if you have giroud....he's a great option...rem he came good during the last few weeks of last season
Why would you? Not nailed
I'm not, i''m asking if any of you are.
Nope.. not yet anyway
Tempting, lets see him get through 1-2 gameweeks unscathed and he may make a great case...
Is this front 8 too weak
Sanchez Coutinho Gundogan Allen Capoue
Aguero Costa Deeney
1.1 in the bank
Any opinions would be welcomedNot too weak, but I think it will be stronger with just one Watford attacker.
Schmeichel
Keane / Pieters / Evans
Sanchez / Redmond / Coutinho / Firmino
Aguero / Deeney / Lukaku
(Jaku / Capoue / Friend / Kinglsey)
Will prob wildcard during next international break.
0FT, .7ITB
Good to go?Yes. Deeney might be less favourite, but we can always hope Liverpool to concede.
Gtg.I'd look to upgrade Kingsley next week.
One to bench?
Walker (ars)
Lovren (WAT)
Holebas (liv)
Smith (SUN)Walker
I benched him against Man City and he got CS. Hope it's right this time.
Holebas
I think it's between Walker and Holebas.
Two favourite DF picks.
Walker
walker or lovren.
leaning towards lovren, dont have the confi pools defense can keep a clean sheet.Do you have any Liverpool mids? Then Holebas would be working against them.
Holebas without a doubt
Surprising to see the lack of love for walker. He'd be my first to play of this lot. I'd bench lovren.
Morning ladies. A simple strawpoll.
a) Valencia -> Fuchs
b) Benteke (bur) -> Austin (hul)
c) Wilson (SUN) -> Austin (hul)
If i don't do A, i have to play Friend vs Citeh. (Wildcarding in 4 weeks)Open to other defenders upto 5.6M
You should really take Valencia out otherwise you risk an injury crisis.
Fuchs looks to be the favourite replacement this week.
I did consider keeping for another weekand doing Deeney to Austin
but decided it was bad play
A
c) is a terrible choice, Wilson (h) to Sunderland is a great opportunity for points.
Leaning towards a) to ditch an injured player and get Fuchs for the nice run of fixtures.Deffo not C. See what happens on Thursday night with Austin.
Not C. I feel A is marginally better than B.
A or B. Why remove Wilson before Sunderland?
B for me
I have 2 ft's. Thinking of going with double Leic defense (Fuchs, Morgan) for the next 4 games = WBA, wat, MIDD, sun. I can see at least 2 cs's maybe 3. My other 3 defenders would be Holebas, Smith, Pieters so plenty of cs/attacking returns potential with their upcoming games. Thoughts & thanks.
What formation will you play?
It's not a sound investment if you have good 5 DFs and keep 2 of them on the bench.
Heaton
Vertonghen pieters lovren
Sanchez walcott mane firmino bolasie
Aguero costa
Jaku smith campbell kingsley
Thinking about vertonghen to stones
Also consdier de bruyne and gundogan
What do U think of my team and possiblity of getting those 2 ?
You shouldn't have a Spurs or Chelsea player anyways Jack. Arsenal fans won't like it.
Leicester have good fixtures defensively so you might want to get a player from there instead of Stones.I'd start Smith. Good chance of a clean sheet. Vertonghen good fixtures on the horizon.
I like the way the title race is shaping up this year. Could be a close one.
Think it will be. Arsenal and City have both improved and Chelsea and Liverpool have no Europe. Think those four will push it all the way.
United will be lucky to get 6th. Need to win 5 or 6 on the spin to get back in and can't see that.I even rate spurs as an outside chance, haven't had a loss yet.
Congratulations on Captain Allen bud!! Excellent stuff 🙂
Absolutely agree. Plus I find it makes for more options this year in the Fantasy League as there is really no 8 man template that everyone has.
I have a feeling Chelsea will win it
Setup to be a great season.. Really liking the look of Liverpool and Chelsea right now. Both have a great shout of winning the league.
Walcott to Hazard for free.
Good move or madness ? Have AlexisFor FT worth it imo
Made a dumb transfer earlier this week so now stuck with the following options:
A) Deeney > Austin (-4)
B) Capue > Allen (-4)
C) Save ( and hope that my TRIPLE Watford line up get some returns at Anfield
*sobs silently*B or save. Pool can't defend.
True may be worth it just hanging tight and seeing what happens...
what was the transfer?
Foster > Heaton (trigger happy)
Is Capoue your 4th or 5th mid?
Capue is my 4th mid
Capoue is my 4th mid
Allen then
C
Play Kelly (bur) or Holebas (liv) this week?
Assuming you have Liverpool,attacking assets would go Kelly
Kelly
Kelly
Holebas attacking returns.. CP can't defend and can see Burnley scoring
Kelly. Gary Kelly is fantasy gold/royalty.
Really?
Chaps
Is Valencia / Sterling / Ozil to D Simpson / Couthino / Hazard -4 a good move?Must be better D options than Simpson. BOU d, Holybas, Pieters, et al.
Wouldn't bother with Simpson, on 4 YC's. Not sure why people are quick on ditching Sterling, good attacking fixtures upcoming.
Any hits needed for this weekend? Also play Mustafi or Williams?
Foster
Mustafi Morgan Stones
Sanchez Firm Son Allen
Kun Lukaku Austin (C)
Which is Burnley 's 2nd choice keeper: Nick Pope or Paul Robinson?
Robinson
Robinson
Robinson is usually the one named on the bench so I'd assume it's him
I have the Heaton & Robinson comboCheers all. Thinking of doing the same. Robinson for Cech and reinvest the 1.5m.
son walccott walker to redmond kdb and morgan minus 4 ? (prefer kdb to hazz in the short term)
GTG?
Bravo
Azpi - Williams - van Aanholt
Hazard - Sanchez - Firmino - Redmond - Allen
Wilson - Aguero
Pickford - Benteke - Evans - Amat
£0.1 itb no FT
Will try to get rid of PVA and Benteke soon, they haven't been firing.Is Pogba overrated or does he just need time to be at his best?
He wouldn't be in a list of the top 20 best players in the world
List is pretty irrelevant if he cant preform up to the standards imo
less time at the barbers and more time training.
then my beloved manutd can start kicking ass
Any changes needed.
Heaton(pickford)
Williams alonso lovren
Cout firm wally sterling
Austin lukaku kun
(Capoe amat Evans )
1 ft. 0.5 itb. Should I do capoue to allen /moses/matic/gundogan
Or get Williams out for fuchs
Or do Williams and capoue out for Daniels and 5.5 mid
Or hold free trans for after international break so two frees then ? CheersNeed to take my first hit of the season to sort my defence out as I haven't managed to field 11 players for the last 3 gameweeks. Valencias injury was the last straw
Valencia > Fuchs ??Yep. OR Morgan if you need cash
Would prefer to spend that extra bit given Fuchs has more potential of getting attacking returns
I went with Holybas.
I got him in a few weeks ago to replace Collins. I had Baines who got injured, Collins and Amat who both got dropped, Love who was bench fodder and Valencia. Diasaster of a defence
Alonso if you can afford it
