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.
How wild would a double hit for Kos and Ozil to become Fuchs and De Bruyne be? :/
I like it
Nice
Crazy for a double hit, the North London Derby has become a more low scoring affair in recent times so potential clean sheet and Ozil is on equally good form. Ozil to KDB on a free for fixtures maybe, for a hit no.
Current team: 2 FTs, 0.8 itb
Cech Pickford
Kone Amat Holebas Smith Valencia**
Sanchez Walcott Lallana Bolasie Capoue
Aguero Lukaku Deeney
Which is better?
A- Valencia + Deeney > Fuchs + Austin for free.
B- Valencia + Lallana + Walcott > Fuchs + Coutinho/Firmino + Redmond (-4)
C- Other transfer?
Can you do valencia, lallana to fuchs, coutinho?
Unfortunately now NO, because of the price Rise/Fall.
Is Coutinho a must have right now?
By doing A I can get Coutinho in for Lallana or Walcott the week after.
C. Valencia - Fuchs and a Kone upgrade.
Any one got the feeling McAuley is going to score this week, the foxs defending on set pieces had been poor !! Thinking of putting him in instead of Allen ?
Karius
Stones Clyne Pieters
Allen Redmond Mane(c) Gundogan
Kun Lukaku Costa
Bolasie McAuley Williams PickfordDo it then. Given your captain you clearly like risks
If you're thinking that way I'd go McAuley over Pieters and keep Allen in.
I wouldnt with allens recent stats. Love the captain pick, but youll be nervous when city play!
Given Mane the armband 3 times this season he's had a goal in each and 2/3 also got an assist, current rank of 25,376
Cheers think I'll stick with Allen, kick myself if he scores tho
I would play Allen. I agree with Norwegian
I hope he doesn't score. Defense of Coleman, Lovren, Holebas, McAulley and Amat. I'm currently playing AOA to keep McAulley on the bench and play Allen.
Foster
Fuchs , Kone , Koscienly
Redmond , Firmino , Coutinho , Sanchez
Aguero , Lukaku , Austin
Pickford , de Roon , Friend , Kaboul
Anything worth a - 4 ?
Maybe Kone -> Smith ?
It might be worth it long term . Apparently he has just given up since he did not get the move to Everton . Cheers
Nop, Solid. Nothing worth a -4.
looks good as it is for this week
planning to stick by Kos with the fixtures?The Valencia injury kind of ended that thought . I am considering it purely because I want to upgrade Redmond sooner or later .
Not worth a -4. Looks good for this week.
Thank you
I would swap Kone for someone like Francis or Stones if you've got the budget on the basis that Kone has to go sooner or later and you're likely to use a FT after the international break. If your happy with you're team for gw12 then poss swap Kone then - Nyom looks tempting
The hardest question
A) Allen Fuchs
B) Gundo Morgan
So I can get Hazard next week instead of Firm/Cout
B
A
I'd go B but A could well be right
Wish i haven't slept the price rises last two nights,there wouldn't be this problem. Anyone else?
Either for me...
If I had to choose B due to City fixturesA
A
Monday night- Allen essential
Tuesday night- Joe who? Get Gundogan NOW
Wednesday night- Drinkwater trumps them both?The question is will Allen or Gundo continue with points or they are next Capoe.
I'm not an Allen fan but he's way better than Capoue. Gundogan is advanced enough to suggest he'll outdoor Capoue too
I agree,but in terms of fantasy will they deliver more or just stop after week or two. Not sure are they season holder.
They're better than Capoue, that's for sure.
But Gundogan isn't a very advanced, nor aggressive player. KdB will be the most advanced midfielder, followed by Silva and Gundogan. I really don't think he'll keep this up.
Allen is a #10 with decent stats, I dont think he'll keep it up at this pace but looks a decent option.Are you getting one of them?
No.
Neither and my TV is almost disastrously low because of it. (Not jumping on bandwagons). How are you planning on rectifying this or just going to keep trudging along?
I jumped on most like Costa Kaku Sanchez etc early. TV is 103.3 here so not that bad.
Just jumping on bandwagons that I actually think will succeed.Yeah I got on Lukaku early but ditched on GW8 WC so didn't really profit. And have Haz. Also you don't quite profit if you keep the players, gaining 0.3m from sanchez means nothing if we keep him all season. Allen and Gundo are in and out of people's teams and they are gaining like 0.2-0.3m SV a pop. I feel quite stuck as my TV is only 102.6m. Last two seasons I managed to be around 105m by New Year so this is new territory for me, just wondered what other players are doing so thanks for the insight!
Answer's in the stars. Capoue's stats are poo, whereas Allen's are good for his price. Gundogen's are good too but the worry with him is rotation. If he becomes nailed then I'll probably get him
But remember it's all about value; you don't need Allen @ 5.2 to be getting you returns every week. Average points-per-game of over 4 and he's good value
Hey guys whats the best way to set up my defence this week
Foster
Williams Evans Kosceilny Amat Pieters
Who starts?
CheersDoubt Amat plays and wouldn't play Williams so slim pickens
AoA ??
Kos Pieters EvansAOA would be Capoue...
Just go with Kos Pieters and Evans
Kos Pie Eva
Pick, Jak
Bellerin, Walker, Holebas, Lovren, Amat
Sanchez, Firm, Gungogan, Allen, Capoue
Aguero, Lukaku, Rashford.
1FT. 2.3 ITB
Really want to get some Chelsea in there. Any thoughts on how to get Hazard in there? Worth getting Azpi for a hit too?
bench 1 ...
coutinho,walcott, firmino, allen, sterling
aguero, lukaku, wilson
Seems to be the week for taking hits...
Any views on mustafi and walcott to Pieters and Hazard for -8 (first hits of season)
Would give me beast midfield of
Sanchez Hazard firmino coutinho
What do u think?....
Could easily pay off straight away.
Cheers...
Lovren or Fuchs?
Lovern
Fuchs for me
Fuchs.
Fuchs
Fuchs
Fuchs if money not an issue
2 fts
Wally to Haz
Sterling to Gun
look good?I'd like to say no as I don't want hazard to rise again but yes if I could I would
\cheers Keeney
I'm keeping Sterling.
I would do that
A - Walcott & Benteke to Gundogan & Lukaku
B - Sanchez & Benteke to Aguero & Chadli/ another 6.6 or under
TaJust listened to the scout cast. Always enjoyable. Just a question which was talked about was Joe Allen(4.8) has be a 4th mid not a 5th. Why is this such a issue? I'd rather have a player scoring well gaining value than having a player that brings in 2/3 points each week.
What's your view on this. What's the difference between Capoue(4.5) bench points to Allen (4.8) bench points?Xmas period also looming.. team rotation.. Allen as 5th could be ideal rather than Fletcher/Carrick type player
4th or 5th, it doesn't really matter does it?
I have him as my 5th this gw as I'm playing Redmond over him, however going forward I wouldn't hesitate in playing Allen over Redmond if I thought Allen had the better fixture.
Does that make Allen a 4.5th mid?I think we tend to talk about 5th mid as our cheaper bench fodder player, who never plays unless one of our heavys gets dropped. Allen is a different type player, like you said.. I'd be happy to drop say Wilson for him depending on fixtures.
Happy I bought at 4.8 🙂Same here. 😉
The Olympic stadium situation is a complete fiasco. How on earth can it cost £272m let alone £323m to convert it for football?!
I know it was a while ago but the Amsterdam Arena was built for €140m
http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/37842354Least the fans are doing some interior decorating for free
Any Liverpool fans here: Lovren nailed on, you think?
King klavan?
Yeah, I think so. Matip - Lovren the preferred partnership.
Personally think someone will be brought in in January or the summer though.So your saying your tip loves Ren?
That's sick bro.
Yes Liverpool team won't change much, settled until results start going bad
Yes.
Are we still talking about Gundogan?
Tonight belongs to Drinkwater
Wanyama
Who's Gundogan?
Never heard of him. Any good?He's GDG
God Damn Goofy?
Good do go
It's the new G2G
It will never catch on. 😉
Is he family of Jar Jar Binks?
I still have my WC available and still not sure when to use it.
I am looking at next international break which is after this weekend which means 8 game weeks until new year when the new wildcard is available.
Is it best to keep it as close to the end of the year as possible if I dont have outstanding issues?
Team is
Schmeichel
Valencia / Pieters / Friend
Sanchez / Redmond / Coutinho / Firmino
Aguero / Deeney / Lukaku
(Jaku / Capoue / Evans / Kinglsey)
Thoughts?Keane is Valencia
Citeh bt the lonas
Pinch me
Did you mean, "punch me" ?
That team cost well over 300m it's hardly Roy if he rovers stuff. Great game though, pleasure to watch
My front 7
Allen - Sanchez - Bolasie - firminio
Aguero - Costa - Luaku
Thinking of Bolasie to Gundo
Or maybe taking Sanchez out for
Hazard or coutinhio given Arsenal facing to good defences?I wouldn't touch that front 7.
Bolasie to Gundo sounds good
Heaton
Walker Evans Holebas
Walcott Sanchez Couthino Gundogan
Lukaku Aguero Benteke
Pickford, Allen, Kingsley, Amat
0 FT 1,8 ITB
GTG ? Really tempted to get rid of Benteke, but not worth the risk ?
I woke up in the middle of the night and checked the city vs barca score then i logged in,transferred walcott to gundogan for -4?i didn't want to do it.somebody tell me it was the right thing.
The right thing but not sure on gametime so the wrong thing.
i don't think guardiola will bench him after that.Also i have allen as my fifth mid
Lol
You should have been here last night. In fact just read the comments from page 1 of this article
😆 I just logged on and this is weird 😆 I'll take a look at the craziness now ...
Count how many Gundogans (or variations of it) you see and report back to us. 😉
*loses count* 😆
And your only 12 comments into page 1, lol.
😆
Potentially your username 😉
Considering Walcott > Haz for a hit. Anyone else looking at something similar?
If Wenger is vague in the presser I'd be very tempted
With Ramsey and Giroud back, and both playing well and Theo coming of an injury I can see him being a rotation risk again.
Long term he has to be but right now he deserves to be 1st choice
Haz is so last Sunday.
Do Wally -> Gundogan and get with the frickin program bro. 🙂Already onboard. Arnie > Günd 🙂
Yep I did Wally to Hazard for a hit. Great form, takes pens and guaranteed pitch unlike Wally. You won't regret it.
Heaton
Smith - Holebas - Lovren
Sanchez - Firmino - Couthino - Allen
Kun - Benteke - Ibra
Robinson - Evans - Amat - Carrick
1FT 0.0ITB
Would you do Allen + Ibra -> Gundo + Costa for -4 or just save the ft?
save the FT
Thanks. Think I will save.
Already done 2 transfer (-4)
Now shaq is injured
Should i do shaq to gundogan (-8)
Or play fletcher 🙁Take the hit. And learn the lesson why early transfers is a dumb idea 🙂
Yes, shouldn't do that again
He hasn't been ruled out https://www.clubcall.com/stoke-city/shaqiri-in-fitness-race-1-1829896.html wait for the pressers
Cheers for the info adam.
How does this look for the weekend? No hits. (Obviously defence is a bit ropey) 1.5m in the bank
Pickford
Koscielny McAuley Coleman (Holebas Amat)
Coutinho Sanchez Gundogan Firmino (Capoue)
Aguero (c) Austin Lukaku
Lol, who did you bring Gundogan in for?
Sigurdsson.
He has United & Everton in the next 2 so I'll look to being him back in maybe when his fixtures turnYeah, seems fair.
Hi all,
This is my team. Should I bench Allen (A to West Ham) or Gundogan (H to Middlesbrough) if Walcott is fit and playing?
Foster
Koscielny - Pieters - Stones
Hazard - Firmino - Walcott - Allen
Kun - Costa - Lukaku
Gundogan - McAuley - Amat - Jaku
Good morning everyone!
Looking for some advice from the morning crew 🙂
Heaton
Mustafi - Lovren - Holebas
Firmino - Sterling - Coutinho - Chadli
Aguero - Ibra - Austin
Pickford - Baines - Capoue - Amat
Have 1 FT. Baines to Fuchs and bench Holebas? Or save the transfer and reassess over international break with a view to doing a -4 or potentially even a -8 as needed to mix things up a little?Team looks fine for this weekend. I know I was winding you up for keeping Ibra this long but I would honestly save.
It's all good 🙂
I don't think anyone could talk me out of transferring Ibra this week, I just don't see a good enough argument, apart from the whole no points thing of course.
With the international break I don't want to take any risks. Will look to rectify from next week.Thing is he should have been getting points and the fact that he didn't is kind of a sunk cost now. He's getting the chances and he's a quality striker so the goals have to come. Right?
Also, if / when you're going to get rid, you'd want to be in a position with 2 frees so that you can upgrade elsewhere at the same time (assuming you go cheaper)
The goals will come but at this point I wouldn't like to think about when that might be.
The value side is another annoying part because I've lost money on him and Costa and Lukaku are steadily rising. Later on in the season I could really feel it.
I'm not holding on for the sake of it any more at least. He'll be gone next week.....unless he gets a hat trick of course 😆Yeah, fair enough but then you'll do it with 2 frees and many more options at your disposal.
Baines >> Fuchs FT and don't Captain Ibra 🙂 looks a strong team tbf Andy
Captain's armband won't be going anywhere near Ibra, not to worry 🙂
I'd probably save. You know my thoughts on Ibra but your logic is sound. I think we owe Holebas a dodgy fixture especially with Liverpool set piece defending
Yeah - at this point I'm not trying to convince anyone other than myself that keeping Ibra this week is the right thing to do.
I just have to hope now that Harry Kane does the business from the off. Then again, it wouldn't be the worst thing to bring in Lukaku after the break if he's still fit and firing
How on earth have you kept patience with Ibra? He would want to be doing serious damage at that price.
Anyway, Baines -> Fuchs looks good!Stupidity? 🙂
Baines to Fuchs.
Oh, and Sterling to Gundogan for a hit 😉 😉Needs more Gundogan.
You even a little bit tempted to captain Ibra?
SWA don't have Heaton which could mean 4 goals and 2 assists for Ibra.Not in the slightest. Aguero v Boro (h) for me
Morning!! Well, not here, but...
Baines to Fuchs looks good. Although, I quite like Cedric is he's confirmed back fit.
I took an eye-watering 16 point hit this week.
Mustafi, Sterling, Son, Shaqiri and Deeney out
Lovren, Hazard, Lallana, Gundogan and Austin in
Am I mad or is this potentially not as crazy as it sounds?
Full team is now:
Heaton
McAuley Lovren Morgan
Lallana Gundogan Hazard Sanchez
Aguero Austin LukakuI gotta be honest with you.
I stopped reading after the -16 hit part. 🙂Lol fair.
Problem is price rises - think I'd have missed out on players like Hazard if I waited more than a week.
Plus doing well in all MLs (and top 35k overall), so a points drop not too bad....
If I can recover about half the hit, think I won't mind too much.
play allen V westham or Rashford V Swansea... got to be rash right against the swans?
Rash
