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.
Which two to go for ?
A) Fuchs + Siggy
B) Morgan + Mata
imagine the scenes if a player costing 5.5 dares to blank after getting 4 goals in 2 games
Almost inevitable that he will blank
Hope he does. Capoue needs to stop haemorrhaging funds.
how dare he...
*5.6
Unimaginable.... I mean, look at Capoue, he's.. oh wait.
What are the chances of Gundogan being rested this weekend?
its possible, the avantages of having a squad worth billions
*the advantages of being bankrolled by an oil-rich sovereign state.
everyone knows this. Is 'oil-rich sovereign state' money any worse than other money?
I would say no chance. Have a big squad but hes in great form that it doens't make sense to not play him at the moment.
A game or two where he drops a little and then might become a little susceptible to being rested
I wouldn't say no chance.
He has just come back from a lengthy injury layoff and played a lot of football since returning.
Always a chance.

Nailed it! 😉
Anything worth a hit? or gtg?
Stekelenburg Pickford
Holebas Walker Mustafi Amat Love
Coutinho Lallana Haz Ozil Carrick
Luk Costa Austin
Thanks
Imagine Ozil is bald without hair. Looks Despicable to me...hehe
tortology alert
Can you be bald with hair?
Tim Howard.
Which is better for free?
A- Capoue + Valencia > Redmond + Fuchs
B- Deeney + Valencia > Austin + FuchsWill you play Capoue if you do B?
No. Benching Capoue surely for Bolasie
B
B
B. Although could do Morgan over Fuchs to save funds. Fuchs stats aren't great atm.
Am I crazy for considering Redmond over Gundogan as my Son replacement?
no not crazy at all.
Do you have Austin?Nope. No Austin
well its especially not crazy then.
I think its a coin toss, redmond plays up front but gundogan in a team that score more. Overall if i could afford redmond i'd probably do thatCheers bud
Redmond is playing up front, while Gundogan have never been a proven goalscorer
And he's playing Hull
No. In fact, it's a much more sensible move. Consider Siggy and Tadic also perhaps
Good to go ?
Heaton
Koscielny Fuchs Smith
Sanchez Firmino Coutinho Redmond
Aguero(c) Costa Austin
Bench- Pickford Holebas Fletcher Amat
Totes
Same as mine pretty muchGtg
Best option?
A) Fuchs + Siggy
B) Morgan + MataFuchs but not siggy IMO
Gundogan?I am not a Gundogan believer rather have an attacking mid
A
Siggy under the radar, and I don't like Manu attackersUnited are bound to come good some time and it feels like they would score 3-4 when they do
What's with people taking out McAuley on fplstats
Took my first hit of the season last night;
Arnie âž¡ Gundogan
Bench players in Williams De Roon and Amat not cutting it
Feels like a defeat, was hoping to avoid hits
Foster
Walker koscielny holebas
Firmino Sanchez coutinho gundogan
Lukaku ageuro Austin
Good to go ?
We have similar teams so I hope so .
yep
Sure. Lots of attackers vs defenders tho, but not something to use FTs on
Yup
Heaton, Pickford
Vertonghen, Williams, Holebas, Evans, Amat
Sanchez, Sterling, Lallana, Snodgrass, De Roon
Aguero, Costa, Lukaku
0FT, 0.5 in bank
Snodgrass --> Allen/Gundogan (-4)?Gundo. Stoke are without key players this gw
What would you do with this lot?
Heaton l Pickford
Clyne l PVA l Holebas l Smith l Amat
Sanchez l Coutinho l Firmino l Antonio l De Roon
Aguero l Lukaku l Deeney
1FT, 0.4ITB
ThanksDeeney to Austin?
Antonio to Allen/Gundogan (then upgrade PVA)?Would you do it for a hit though?
No, def not - wasn't suggesting to do all of them, just suggesting ideas
I had the first 2 in mind. Deeney -> Austin beeing the priority imo. I was just thinking of ditching Antonio for a hit too, but he plays a weakened stoke this week, so might as well ditch him next week...
Makes sense, no need to take a hit I don't think
2 FT 0,1 in the bank.
Heaton - Foster
Friend - Valencia - Stones - Walker - Amat
Sanchez - Wally - Allen - Sterling - Capoue
Aguero - Negredo - Costa
Thinking:
Sterling -> Gundogan
Wally -> KDB
Stones -> ?
for -4
Then next GW trade Valencia for a 5.5 def.
Sterling -> Gundogan no point. sterling stays.
Valencia to fuchs or peitersI'd look to address your Negredo problem.
Look to Fuchs/Morgan or Alonso/Azpi for your defensive trade
Heaton
Monreal Rose Smith
Firm Cout Sterling Wally Allen
Kun Lukaku
Given Williams Stuani Love
1FT 0.9ITB
Intend to do:
Fuchs for Monreal
Anything else that I should do that is worth a hit?
Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!
Any preferences over Pickford (bou) vs Foster (lei) this weekend?
Foster
I'd play Foster. Bournemouth will kick Sunderland in the nuts
Surely that is against the rules ? . I am expecting lots of red cards
Refs are handing out way less RCs this season. Time to exploit it
🙂
Man I've taken more hits this season already than I did all last season. Hate taking hits as well.
I've not taken one all season but my team is fast becoming a mess. If you are happy with your team hits are okay I think.
Why, its only 4pts plus sometimes hits to take put injured players or make significant upgrades can gain you huge pts.
Taking hits can be good if you buy those you intend to keep for a while.
I noticed yesterday that more players than I expected actually did the Aguero -> Ibra move, after initially thinking it was just one or two.
Considering we haven't heard much from those players since then, I'm curious to know what their plans are if anything?
Are you reversing that transfer immediately?West Ham are gonna ravage Stoke this weekend. No Shaqiri/Arnie.
Too bad about their upcoming fixtures
Not sure about that.West ham aren't a fluid attacking team atm
West Ham are in no fit state to ravage anyone at the moment imo
As they've ravaged everyone else. Stoke have decent back up - their winger did a good job after he came on for Shaq. Plus Bony is fit again.
West Ham are in the drums. new stadium and an exhausted payet. wont be a good season... if they do not wake up soon.
They probably won't.
Gundogan is a massive rotation risk - I'm going nowhere near. To top that he has little history of consistent goal-scoring.
Stubbornness is the #1 enemy of the FPL Manager. I haven't got him in (other fish to fry) but if it looks like he's going to regularly get into goalscoring positions I will consider it for future gameweeks. At that price and playing for a free-scoring team with good fixtures it would be crazy to dismiss it out of hand.
Even if he doesn't score like this every game, but gets a goal/assist every other game and 2 or 3 hauls, he'll be worth it at 5.6.
He also has little history playing in this new role.
Surely having Aguero is enough City cover for now anyway?
I doubt it. Pep has stated they cant win PL title without him.
http://metro.co.uk/2016/10/31/its-impossible-to-win-the-premier-league-without-ilkay-gundogan-says-pep-guardiola-6224987/
That was prior to last night.
Mkhitaryan in Utd squad going to Turkey.
Hope he scores 5 and sets up another 7 just so we can see him against SWA.
Anything worth a hit here?
Foster (jaku)
Walker, pva, pieters (williams, wilson)
Mane, coutinho, sterling, wally, gundogan
Costa, lukaku, Austin
3.0itbNope. But you have a real benching headache if Theo is passed fit
May play aoa.
Fuchs or Morgan? For free. For coleman. Or save.
At the moment it's backline of
Walker,A smith, holebas bench coleman.
Will play Fuchs over holebas as o can't c a clean sheet v pool.Fuchs
I'm going with Fuchs in for Valencia assuming he gets through tonight ok.
Fuchs
alex Hammond on ssn ,beautiful,great way to start the day...

0FT, 0.2 ITB
Whom to bench :
A. Rondon
B. Capoue
Any good reason to take any hit?
if wally looking doubtful how about walker son wally to morgan redmond kdb for minus 4 ?
or fuchs hazz gun ...
Those are great transfers fixture wise
4 goals in 2 match.
With similar goal setting schemes, surely it wasn't a coincidence!?
But the main question is gundogan nailed in pep's formation?
worst case scenario is you gain a fair bit of money to be banked.
The money iTB can't afford the risk in my team atm.
ye im wondering the same thing last night he played silva instea of nolito id imagine to crowd the midfield more, but he will probably play sterling and one of sane/nolito on the wings against boro meaning there are 3 cm spots for 4 players kdb silva gun and fernadinho. surely the former two are nailed so it seems to me he is contesting wuth fern for the dm spot? He has been playing before with kdb out but now kdb is back
Fernandinho injured atm.
But i can't see gundogan played DMF ini pep's tactics this year either.
I'm afraid nolito/sane the most.
