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.
Who do I fix first?
A) Shaqiri
B) Robertson
C) Deeney
Cech
Lovren Holebas Pieters
Coutinho Firmino Sanchez Shaqiri
Agüero Lukaku Deeney
Pickford Robertson Amat Carrick
1 FT 0.9 ITB
Where exactly is Gundogan playing? I would have thought he's in the deep lying CM? He's becoming a bit hard to ignore.
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 in the kdb role but now kdb is back.
He played alongside KDB against Barca so who knows. 4-1-4-1 is an interesting formation.
City were playing a 4-1-4-1.
Gundo one of the middle two behind Aguero in that central 4, so he has much more licence to get forward with Fernandinho providing the cover in front of the back 4.but with silva and kdb central where does he fit in?
Maybe Silva and KDB aren't both nailed on to play centrally.
Pep did say near the start of the season that he'll happily play KDB and Silva wide if he has to, and thinks both are just as effective out wide.
It's all speculation on our part when it comes to guessing what Pep will do. There's a good chance all the players will rotate positionally at different times.
One thing I can suggest is don't think Silva and KDB are automatic picks to fill both those central positions.
Chelsea look so bloody good i want to jump on them immediately
Would you wildcard this lot now?
Or maybe in the IB?
Jaku Foster
Bellerin Valencia Stones Friend Amat
Alexis Theo Firmino Coutinho De Roon
Aguero Benteke Wilson
(I'd probably do it if Theo and Bellerin aren't fit?)
No I would save your WC. Do you have FT's?
Yes 1.
I had a similar team but not quite as good. I wildcarded this week. Was unsure at start but glad I did now. Haz and alonso in. You missed most of the rises though
Thats okay..
I was gonna ask...what's this 4 week wait? Fixtures?
Yep.
Wait it out I guess. WC during Int break.
All depends on Arsenal.
ofc. i can't imagine both Bells & Wally being out.
I'd be tempted.
IMO you've a bit too much cash tied up in defence and unsure of Theo with Ramsey back and potential of giroud looming.
Also not convinced by benteke Wilson combo when others are firing int. break is an issue though could be worth waiting...
Wildcard gives you free upgrade to Heaton too
Chelsea's fixtures don't get properly good until December so you maybe have time on your side. The only worry is prices will have risen multiple times in that period should they get any form of return in the meantime
Thats why i was looking at GW15.
Could be a good time to load up KDB/Hazard/Ozil/Firm?
Maybe Kane is your trigger? Lots of derbies incomingThats why i was eyeing GW15. Kane Austin Alonso Haz United Milf
If those two aren't fit I would.
This. I would WC that.
Sell, sub-optimal
poor fixtures, injured, not sure, poor fixtures, dropped
Keep, poor fixtures, keep, keep, OK
Keep, no form, no form
Yeah, Wildcard!
You could probably string it out a week by getting shot of Valencia (do you have the cash to do De Roon to Gundog or Allen and AOA?).What? Keep Alexis, but sell Walcott due to poor fixtures? They are on the same team
Never wildcard before an international break!
Might it not be better to get rid if Walker instead of coleman for Fuchs.
Spurs fixtures are awful. Worse then Everton imoWorse than Everton? No way...
WHAM
chel
SWANS
manu
HULL
BURN
south
watf
but they're a better team than Everton & Leicester.
...that as well.
Don't have a good feeling about Gundogan.
Still think Hazzential is the key man to bring in nowgundogan is half the price tho
Gundogan can't keep it up. He will likely be rotated at any time too.
no comparison looking at price points
Not sure about rotation, its Gundogan's position to lose
Gundogan may maintain it if he keeps his position. But with so many good players who can play there its tough to see him keeping that spot.
In addition, he scored 10 goals in 108 games for BvB. He has never been a prolific goalscorer before. So there are question marks. Has Pep changed his position? Will Pep stay with the 4-1-4-1 he has used recently? Will Gündoğan be subject to rotation? Are the recent goals a sign of things to come or an outlier?
Only hindsight will be able to answer those questions. Meantime those that have bought him have price rises to bank and good immediate fixtures to look forward to.
i bought sterlingbat 8.3m. if his price falls to 8.1m what will be his selling price? 8.1m or 8.2m (with 50%). i think that with citys fixtures will score some points but price falling is a problem
8.1
It'll be 8.1 - every fall below purchase price will hit your SV
Bottomed, sorry.
Who do I fix first?
A) Shaqiri
B) Robertson
C) Deeney
Cech
Lovren Holebas Pieters
Coutinho Firmino Sanchez Shaqiri
Agüero Lukaku Deeney
Pickford Robertson Amat Carrick
1 FT 0.9 ITBWhat's the deal with Shaq? Is he out for a while? I'd lose him first for one of the mid-rage mid options.
I've no idea. Just got him in last week too.
Wait for the Presser and if he's not fit dump Shaq, and f he is I'd save.
Team FTW:
Grant
Pieters / Kosc / Williams
Sanchez / Mane / Coutinho / Gundo
Kun / Lukaku / Benteke
// Pick / Valencia / Amat / De Roon
Worth taking a -4 for Valencia to Fuchs or leave it at that?
For long term, worth taking -4 on fuchs
Gundogan won't keep it up.
get him in while his stock is low, then flog for profit.
I had the same problem.
Sorted now.Sup fellow Arnie owner. Monday was rough. I got rid
hey you. Could have been a massive haul if Arnie. Post. Adam post....
I have Valencia to fix. Might keep Arnie and play Capow!*for Arnie. YC was a double blow.
My bench isn't good enough, so he went for a hit 🙁
What, averaging 2 goals a game? Brave call
Ouch, bringing in both Arnie and shaq last week were not just a dream.
To make it even more funny I made this weeks transfer ahead of Stoke playing for financial reasons.
If Redmond and Austin gets inured in EL I will rage quit.Pretty bad decision making there. Transfers before a gameweek is finished just to make .1
It's the points that count!
Wish I held on to my AoA 🙁 🙁 I feel like crying looking at my defence
Foster
Rose - Holebas - Bellerin
Alexis - Mane - Coutinho - Gundogan
(K)un - Austin - Rashford
Bench; Pickford; Allen, ............(Kingsley, Love)Why? Arse-Tott could be a 0-0 and Liverpool can't defend against free kicks and corners and Holebas takes em!
Heaton
Vertonghen, Williams, Holebas, Evans
Sanchez, Sterling, Lallana
Aguero, Costa, Lukaku
Bench: Pickford, Snodgrass, Amat, De Roon
0FT, 0.5 in bank
Snodgrass --> Gundogan (-4) ???
Anyone know what's going on with Stanislas?
stroking his US open trophy
should be back this week possibly off the bench coming back from injury
Working towards this over the next couple of GWs, juicy.
Heaton

Repost as need some replies please guys 🙂
Need some help please...
Current team is:

Aguero Costa
Foster Collins Diomande Amat
1 FT, 0.2m ITB
What changes should I make for the upcoming GW...??
(I know my bench is terrible but it frees up cash elsewhere)
Thanks
thoughts on a -12 with
Austin in for Deeney
Hazard in for Shaqiri
Francis in for Valencia
Pieters/Mee in for Williams
Shaqiri Valencia are injured, Deeney is useless and Williams has v tough fixtures coming
the 2 x 4.5 defenders are required to raise cash, basically 9.1 for 2 defensive spots
Play Kone or Holebas?
Holebas. On set pieces and Liverpool can't keep a clean sheet.
Holebas
Who would you bench for this GW? Thanks
Sterling - Allen - Redmond - Sanchez - Firmino
Austin - Aguero - Costaallen
by a country mile
allen
Cheers both - that's what i am currently on
Reluctantly Allen. Strong front 8.
Cheers mate
Wouldn't be surprised if Sane played over Sterling. If that's too risky then Allen
Similar front 8 to me but I have Coutinho and Ibra instead of Sterling and Costa.
I'm benching Allen for what it's worth.
best mid under 7m?
Fixtures wise Allen or Redmond
cheers!
Foster / Pickford
Kosc / Amat / Evans / Lovren / Williams
Allen / Couninho / Sanchez / Firmino / Capoue
Kun(c) / Lukaku / Austin
0.8 ITB.
Can afford to do Capoue - Gund for a -4.. I have the exact money so if I don't do it today I won't be able to afford.
Is it worth doing for the hit?Definitely not. Just play Allen this week. You will just be points chasing with Gundogan now.
I don't really follow. Why would Gundogan be chasing points and not Allen?
He's not going to score a double every week and I'd say he's a rotation risk.
AGUERO , Lukaku, Austin front 3 combo is now the most popular? Can have a balanced team with them up front.
I prefer Costa over Luk but yea seems to be
That's what I've got
There is no way Capoue doesnt drop and Haz doesnt rise till the start of gw right? 🙁
you're the Prophet you tell us
Lost my powers.
all these people saying Gundogan a rotation risk, so is Kun and he dont cost 5.6m
I'd need to know more of why they think this. Apart from 1 game he started the last 5 prem ganes or so hasn't he. He was injured at start. Doesn't smell of rotation to me
Sanchez or KDB....mmmm
I am getting sucked into the Heaton vortex. Should i do Cech to Heaton for a HIT and just play him every week?
Yes but not for a hit
There are always other concerns so no chance i can get him in without a hit
Captain?
Mane Hazard Sanchez Walcott Sterling
Costa Lukaku
Feeling punty then go Sterling if not Haz looks good
Been out of the loop recently. The rank has suffered as a result.
Team atm -
Pickford - Jakupovic
Koscielny - Vertonghen - Matip - Holebas - Amat
Sanchez - Payet - Firmino - Arnautovic - Carrick
Aguero - Defoe - Deeney
2 FTs and 0.1m itb
Thinking Denney + Arnautovic +Koscielny :arrrow: Austin + Hazard + Lowton for -4.
Hi All
I'm doing pretty well (4k overall and only 80 points off top spot) but team a little troubled this week:
Cech (pickford)
Daniels, Clyne, Holebas (williams, amat)
mane, couthinho, sanchez, allen (bolasie)
deeney, aguero, defoe.
I can't decide if I would be silly to do a hit. i've been toying with the following options:
a) Bolasie > Gundogan
b) Bolasie and Defoe/Deeney to Gundogan and Austin
c) Deeney / Defoe to Austin
d) something else!?
Please help!!b
Wouldn't bother with a hit but Deeney/Watford look awful ATM so getting rid of him for Austin v Hull makes sense.
Thoughts on the below?
Either looking at Lallana and Koscielny to Firminho and Alonso for -4 or sticking. Have exact money to do the former if I pull the trigger now
Heaton-Jaku
Koscielny-Holebas-Evans-Amat-Kingsley
Sanchez-Hazard-Coutinho-Lallana-Allen
Aguero-Lukaku-Barnes
Bottomed.
Heaton
Monreal Rose Smith
Firm Cout Sterling Wally Allen
Kun Lukaku
Given Williams Stuani Love

Intend to do:
Fuchs -> Monreal
