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.
Morning fellas. Which one would you play:
A) Evans (lei)
B) Pieters (whu)
Piet
B
My current defence
Evans Mustafi Holebas (Williams, Amat)
Is Williams âž¡ Fuchs worth a -4
Yay or Nay
Thanks
I don't think so.
Dont like spending transfers for defenders. Let alone hits.
I agree madness. Evans then!! 😎
Nah. It's not necessary. It's not like your planning on playing Williams this week anyway. Nice fixtures for Fuchs, obviously, but Everton look much better defensively than Leicester.
Worth a -8?
Sterling + Redmond > Hazard + Allen100% no!!
Not when Southampton are playing Hull.
No way
lol no
The Hazard transfers are hilarious
Lol
Hi, appreciate your feedback. This was lost of the previous page.
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
bench a man city mid at home to also rans? How is it even a debate?
Gundogan could be a rotation risk that's why I'm unsure.
might as well dont buy him lol
Allen i guess
Million dollar question... Allen or Gundogan?
i have both. But I'd go Allen and Gundogan is a rotation risk.
Cheers, Hana!
how is gundog is a rotation risk? might as well say everyone in the current team is
they pretty much are but thats modern football for ya. Id go Gundagan MOT
Pieters the best budget defender (under the Holebas price bracket)? Looking to downgrade Valencia to free up some money.
Already have McAuley
i prefer Cameron if fit
Francis?
Nyom from gw12?Forget Nyom, you've got McAuley
Burnley defender?
Would you do Firm to Haz next week for free?
Do you have any Liverpool cover other than Firm?
Yes,Coutinho
There's no hurry. Wait and see what happens over the break
The problem is I can only afford if he stays 9,9m
Anything worth a hit? or gtg?
...........................Foster
............Fuchs McAuley Vertonghen
.....Walcott* Sanchez Coutinho Sanchez
..............Kun(C) Benteke AustinDouble up on Sanchez is brave 😀
Brave is my middle name
Just the one Sanchez will suffice
Firmino**
-------------------->Sanchez number two is Firmino
Morning gents,
Quick one to let you know I've updated the data behind my player analysis tableau dashboard.
https://public.tableau.com/shared/G7MYTS6Q7
Cheers.
Spurs are 18/1 for the title.
That looks a great bet.did you not see Man City last night?
I did. But I also saw them get completely outplayed by Spurs and not win for 6 games in a row.
Lol.
Just combine the bet with Arsenal winning CL then
Always in our shadowthe odds for that wouldnt fit on a betting slip
Thoughts on this for a -8 chaps?
Bellerin, Walker, Walcott and Capoue => Morgan, Stones, Hazard and Allen
Below would be my final team...
Grant
Morgan Clyne Stones
Sanchez Hazard Coutinho Firmino Allen
Aguero Lukaku
Jaku Holebas Amat Diomande
I wouldn't get Stones. Keep Walker?
I do like the look of this team tbf but not sure -8 is worth it maybe -4 leaving Capoue in your team another week
Why would you take 2 hits for defenders? Especially for Belly and Walker. Two of the most attacking backs in the league.
If I were you I'd take a hit to move Diomande out for Austin.My other option is to do Walcott and Diomande to Austin and Allen for free?
Do that
I like Stones for the next few fixtures (I've put him in for Valencia) but I wouldn't lose Walker
This is the problem of having too many high priced defenders I suppose. Looks like it might be best to shuffle around the mids/strikers first and see what happens
which one?
A. Alonso + Coutinho
B. Cedric + Hazard
Heaton Pickford
Walker Holebas Evans Amat
Sanchez Firmino Redmond Fletcher
Kun Lukaku WilsonA although I would pick Stones or Fuchs/Morgan for upcoming fixtures
Cedric's only just started light training after his foot injury. So A
Defo A
Question, should I bring in both Aguero & Gundogan this week for -4 (can't argue with Gundo's form / price and fixtures approaching).
BUT have to take out Walcott & Lukaku I think.
Heaton, Jaku
Bellerin, Valencia, McAuley, Amat, Walker
Walcott, Sterling, Capoue, Firmino, Coutinho
Lukaku, Costa, Deeney
Thoughts?I have the same forwards as you as I entertained the same thought last night. I decided that I need to lose Firmino and Bellerin to upgrade Deeney to Kun if he makes it through the break unscathed. Boro will park the bus at the weekend then Kun if off to Argentina and Brazil. Perhaps u should just do Wally to Gundo this week
Good point, although Boro are tough I think City could break them down. I think I'm going for Aguero this week as I'm top of my leagues and people are closing in on me with him. Very nerve-racking not having Kun in the team.
Hi guys,
Difficult to ignore Allen as a 4th mid if it allows this front 8 with a reliable defense as well in my opinion.
Firmino - Sanchez - Hazard - Allen (benchfodder).
Kun - Lukaku - Austin
What are your thoughts?
Show us the reliable defence.
Actually, I just tried it and you're right, you can still have a very good defence with that front 8 as well.
Was also positively surprised when I tried.
Might be:
Heaton
Alonso/Leicester - WBA - Holebas - Pieters - benchfodder
Lots of budget friendly optionsYeah, I had Heaton, Walker, Fuchs, Holebas, Evans, (Amat), and still 0.3 to play with.
I agree. I have a similiar team with Lovren, Bell, Stones, Williams and Walker in defence. Will need to downgrade to make space for Kun though
Yeah Austin & Allen are good enablers
A new Dembele theory then 😉
Pick 1 to start
A Foster
B Grant
playing McAuley alsoB
foster coz Leics miss the odd penalty. Noble is solid
Now that Giroud is back, would it be reasonable to do Sanchez>Hazard as the latter will have a more advanced position. Cheers
yet to see if thats true, Alexis could well play up fornt most of the season
We have seen that last night..hopefully Wenger does not repeat this in the EPL!
I would keep Alexis but ditch Walcott.
I think Alexis will be back up front this weekend.
In a draft league, would you drop one of these three for Zabaleta? If so, which one?
a) Ox
b) Gibbs
c) Iwobi
d) Keep them, don't pick up Zabaleta.
(They're all bench players picked up as punts to be fair).
Zabaleta has not started in 4 game weeks seems like Pep is not a fan of his
He was injured. Played in both games vs Barca.
Walcott + Vertonghen >> Fuchs + Gundogan
Benteke + Walcott >> Wilson/Austin + KDB
For -4?
Did a very rash -8 at 3k rank last night and already regretting it
Foster+Williams+Son+Walcott----> Heaton + Simpson + Gundogan + Hazard
Any chance this works out long term?
Possibly.
I'm keeping williams for (SWA) next week.
Can see a CS thereNot the worst hit I've seen lol
Hopefully it works out, dont want to ruin my best ever start
i actually like it.
Heaton you can start every week.
A leicester defender better than an Everton one.
Son gametime likely to be influenced by Kane's return.
Hazard's in form and Walcott can easily be brought back in if it doesn't work.
Had a great start, 3.6k OR but my team feels a bit weak for GW11. Thoughts?
Pickford / Grant
Koscielny Holebas Evans Williams Amat
Sanchez Cout Firm Walcott Fletcher
Aguero Lukaku Deeney
1FT & £0 ITB......
sanchez to haz,fletcher to allen,deeney to defoe/bony,not for hits though
ok,pep changed to 4-1-4-1 last night against barca,is he moves back to 4-2-3-1 on saturday ,is it still worth getting in gundogan????
Massive branching head ache this week, please help?!
Heaton
Smith, Bellerin, McA
Sanchez, Firmino, Coutinho, Gundogan
Kun, Costa, Austin
(Foster, Allen, Collins, Amat)
Currently on Allen, they all have great fixtures on paper, just seem crazy branching Allen.benching gun would be crazier
in a attack with kun,kdb,sterling,nolito,i dont think gundogan will be able to replicate these 2 games consistently
no s hit, no one averages 2 goals a game but he still has to start over Allen
maybe ,we give one game to gundagon,if pep shifts back to 4-2-3-1,his potential will go down considerably
I thought this but he seemed to thrive last night, the goal I saw had an element of luck but he seems to be in the right positions.
Think a lot of people with Allen as their 5th midfielder are going to have this headache.
Agree we have backed our selfs in to this corner.
Pickford (bou) or Foster (lei)?
HmmI'm playing Foster.
Foster, Sunderland is a no go zone for me.
Any changes needed here for weekend austin over gundongen?
Heaton
Walker smith pieters
Walcott sanchez firmino coutino
Gundongen
Lukaku aguero (c)
Foster austin mcauley amat
All out attack?
Austin on the bench lol 😀
all or attack,or austin over gun,come on,he's playing HULL
If there ever was a te to play austin, its againat hull
Why have Austin at all if you don't play him this weekend.
Playing Gundo over Austin this gw!
Baaaahahaha!!!
The Gundo phenomenon just went CRA-CRA!
Even if walcott is declared fit by wenger on Friday, there is still a good chance he will start on bench v spurs don't u think??
No. If he's fit he'll play.
If fit I think he starts. Has been in great form and has a decent record against Spurs. I think we revert back to the following lineup:
---------------Cech
Bellerin--Kos--Mustafi--Monreal
----------Santi-----Coq
Walcott------Ozil------Iwobi
------------SanchezI dont think so,wenger will move alexis to the flank to get in giroud
He hasn't scored against Spurs since 2012 ?
He was injured for most of that.
5 goals and 5 assists from 12 starts
Based on what logic?
If he's declared fit,he will start
Are you forgetting the form he's in rn?
Already got in Cout,Morgan for Walcott,Valencia early in the week with my 2 FTs.
Heaton,Pickford
Bellerin,Morgan,Holebas,amat,love
sanchez,firmi,Cout,capoue,redmond.
aguero,lukaku,rondon
0FT, 0.2 ITB
Any changes worth a hit ? and whom to start, capoue or rondon?
Is this GTG?
Forster
Williams - Stones - Lovren
Sanchez - Allen - Coutinho (vc) - Redmond
Lukaku - Costa - Aguero (c)
Subs: Jaku, Lallana, Amat, Love.
Hard to bench Lallana vs Watford, but Allen and Redmond seems a better choice this round....?
You'll have benching headache every week 🙂
Really does not feel that way but I get your point.
Allen and Redmonds fixtures rotates good in which player to play. This is the only round all three of them have rather easy matches.
What do you think of my team
Heaton
Koscielny Walker Smith
Hazard Chadli Coutinho Gundogan
Austin Aguero LukakuWell rounded, strong all over
Thank you!
Very nice team
Thanks!!
Ok so what is the order of Top 10 must have midfielders (taking value, fixtures, potential into consideration)?
1. Sanchez
2. Coutinho
3. Hazard
4. Allen
5. KdB
6. Firmino
7. Gündogan
8. Walcott
9. Bolasie
10. Redmond
Others: Capoue, Chadli, Sterling, Mané, Özil, Payet, Lallana, Antonio, Son, Allihaz cout firm gun/redmond allen must be the 5 at this stage
Right top 10 but wouldn't order it that way tbh.
