Our usual post-Gameweek delve into the data arrives, as we assess some of the most impressive performers over the previous round of fixtures.
Sunderland, West Brom and Tottenham Hotspur all supply us with a pair of standout options, while we check in on City’s key creator and a Southampton differential as the fixtures turn in the Saints’ favour.
West Ham have been shocking as we all know but gw 16/17 they have Burnley and hull both home games. Who would you get in if anyone?
Cheers
Payet if he cares.
I'm waiting for Ayew to hit form. Probably Payet vs those two titan(ic)s
Ayew AFCON?
Yeah there's that to consider, I was hoping he'd begin firing in a Firmino-esque position before the Hull Burnley Swansea Leicester fixtures and then take the profit and run. Payet it is!
Caroll
Antonio not an option? Or even lanzini?
Payet can be a good bet even if he is costly(Kun cash can be utilised here..)
Payet I believe. Non of the other Hammers showing they can sustain form. Antonio also perhaps.
Anyone else think Hazard will score huge this gameweek? Really tempted by Mane --> Hazard(-4) just to protect my rank if nothing else 🙁
Mebe
Mane only blanked in one home game and it was against United . If I was you I would have to be very confident in Hazard's ability to get big returns .
Good spot that, hadn't noticed how good his home form was...
Hey mate,
What's your current rank?
I am currently rank at 47k. Team linked in profile.
I want to be part of your LAWR H2H League next year.
Can you email me the procedure at cyrus_bamji2003@yahoo.com
Hello, despite what you might think LAWR is not my league! 😀
It's run by Doosra and Ginkapo, https://ginkapo.wordpress.com/, spaces are usually very limited. You should try contacting them when they're online (but I don't think requests are usually welcomed). 🙂
Well I wouldn't exactly bet on him outscoring Mané. Don't.
Don't
Mane is captaincy material this week.
Cheers guys, I hope you've talked me down from the ledge! 😀
Between Mane and Defoe, who would you pick as captain for this weekend?
I think both will get a goal each so no.
Mane before any home game for a hit seems a no
Worth taking Pedro out for a hit? If so who for? 1.7m ITB. Current team:
Sanchez Mane Siggy Pedro Clayton
Kane Costa Austin
What's the news on him ?
Probably Eriksen and hope he gets a return Vs United, usually a big game player so he might just continue his form before The two plum home fixtures.
In the same position, but only 0.2 ITB witch limits the options.
He should be fit i belive, but might be benched? If he starts, he could be in for quite a score this gw. Hence i cant really pull the trigger just yet.
Assume you've already got siggy?
Current team
Pickford (Grant)
Walker, Lovren, McAuley, Amat, (Love)
Sanchez, Hazard, Firmino, (Allen), (Hojbjerg)
Kane, Costa, Austin
Any suggestions? Already taken a 4 point hit to bring in Kane and Costa.
Have £1.2M in the bank.
Thanks
Austin > Defoe
Allen > Can
Good to go for this week, Allen out next week.
Who were the risers and fallers last night?
Costa rose.
Here is a link to fpl stats http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/ . Search for the player you want to check and check where it says chgs . If that has changed the player has risen or else go back to the post from last night and sort by stickied comments .
Cheers I'm going to bookmark that .
Keep up Batman.
The race for the first post will never end 🙂
😆
Who was it who asked you how you always seemed to be first post on the page ?
Always makes me snigger when I think of that.
Or just click on events
Cheers
fiso.co.uk (under the secion crack the code) keep track of every price change that's happened, but they're terrible at predictions so you've got fantasy football fix or fplstatistics for that
Pick 3 lads please
A.Lovern
B.Holebas
C.Pieters
D.walker
E.Ake
Cheers all.
ABE
ACD if you have money
CDE if you don't
A. Sell Holebas and play Amat vs (SUN,WHM)
B. Sell Evans and play Holebas vs (EVE,CRY)
dont sell evans just bench him for the coming 3 weeks. amat could get the cs this week
Won't play Evans in any of the next 5. Still worth keeping him?
i would play against the swans but you make a point you can always get a WBA asset in gw20 for their good run
I'm eyeing up Brunt from gw 20 🙂
B
If you were able to successfully foresee the highest scoring player every week, which GW would you let people on here know?
This gw. Everyone is captain Sanchez already anyway
No
😛
39
Anyone here play the harp?
I do, but I don't like to harp on about it.
There is not been to string him along .
I'll make a note of that.
As long as you don't make a song and dance about it .
I think you're a lyre
How would you know you can't even reed
Pipe down
You guys are plucky making puns like that. Change your tune
I can pull a string or two
Is there a minimum size of boot a professional footballer is allowed to wear?
Could they wear a pair five feet long, making it easier to get a toe poke in at the back post?
Wouldn't it be too difficult to stay on side ?
Maybe you could design ones that could flick the ends out sideways, like long leather flick knives. Although that would bring tripping into play
Why someone has not thought of this is beyond me .
This is how I was thinking it might work - a series of strings and pullys.
I heard a interview with John Giles before and he was talking some south American great that wore size 5 boots
That must be just legs going straight into toes 😮
you know what they say about guys who wear big boots
Cristiano Rolando has a size 8 foot but wears size 7 shoes
Pretty small feet considering he is 6ft 1in tall
*hung like a horse
Best front 7(8) from next week?
A)-4
Sanchez Hazard Siggy CAN (DEROON)
---- Kane Costa IBRAHIMOVIC
B) free
Sanchez Hazard Siggy FIRMINO SON
---- Kane Costa (ANICHIBE)
Tough one, with Man U and Tot fixtures both are good options. probably B because that's close to my front 8 so it would be my preference...
A
A
Captain for this week!
Opinions please
A firmino
B Sanchez
C Costa
D Defoe
Cheers
B or C
Has to be B or C
Which one then Sanchez or costa? Very tough to choose
Wait for YMA s captain article maybe
Both have similar home records but probably sanchez due to mind boggling form.
Cheers mate
I like Defoe'a chances of getting a couple but I'd go Costa out of those. He's on fire.
Where has the twitter module gone?
Ah, weird. It's back now...
Struggling to decide whether to do a -4 for Philips to Siggy.
Do the merits of Siggy, outweigh an in form Philips, playing for an in form side?
Fixtures as well, much better for the Swans, but they're truly woeful.
No
No
Am I crazy for contemplating captaining Redmond this week? He performs well at Home and his looked much better the last two game weeks.
Pickford
Alonso, Keane, Rose (Pieters, Brunt)
Redmond (C), Alli, Hazard, Sanchez (VC) (Allen)
Anichebe, Costa, Kane
So many big hitters but I'm not convinced by any of them for this GW.
Yes
Yes you are Sir
Yes
I'd probably go Sanchez or Costa, but Redmond would be a big differential if you've got the balls. Alonso could be a good option. I know the rule is never to captain a defender, but he's probably better than 50/50 to get a clean sheet so he's got a head start and attacking potential. Tony Pulis always parks the bus against the big teams away so he could get right forward
Don't.
choo choo
Are you a trainspotter?
Which trio would you prefer to compliment the below team?
A. Austin, De Roon, Brunt 0.0 ITB
B. Anichebe, Can, Alonso 0.1 ITB
Pickford - Grant
Cedric - VDV - Francis - Prodl - XXX
Siggy - Firmino - Hazard - Sanchez - XXX
Costa - Kane - XXX
Gun to the head i'd say B
I agree.
really close but B. Alonso > Austin
Plainly I'd say B but with that team I'd go A if you get me?
B I think. West broms fixtures only get good again from gw 20, and alonso will definitely outscore him til then. The others can cover, Sunderlands fixtures are ok, and can can keep going
Appreciate the feedback people
B
Heaton | Foster
Walker | McAuley | Holebas | Coleman | Love
Ozil | Redmond | Firmino | Capoue | Siggy
Wilson | Costa | Kane
0ft and 2.5itb
I want to bring one of Sanchez/Hazard in for Ozil. Is it worth the hit?
No. Use the funds to upgrade coleman imo
But probably not worth the hit atm
Wouldn't want to take a hit on defense.
If Ozil decides to blank and Haz/Sanchez explode, you will miss those points big time.
Question is how good are WBA and Stoke going to defend? Stoke have never conceded more than 2 in a game I think and Pulis is capable of grinding it on his day .
Or the form of Sanchez and Chelsea can wreak havoc.
50/50, has to be your call, can go either way.
Fair enough. The hit may not enough play off immediately this week but over the Christmas period, I surely think Hazard and Sanchez both will outscore Ozil.
agreed, not like they can't deliver with their form this week itself though so maybe worth it.
Yeah. But Sanchez or Hazard - which one? I'm thinking Sanchez. Since I have Costa as Chelsea cover and no other Arsenal cover.
If you captain the new addition, it could well be.
My current captain is Siggy. So, if I get one of them, I most certainly will captain him.
I would, both bordering on "essential"
They are. But, Sanchez or Hazard - who is the better pick?
How can you ask questions for the scoutcast or is it only for members ?
Hot topic posted inviting questions then post underneath.
Anyone can
0FT
2.5 ITB
Foster
Holebas, Alonso, Kosc
Haz, Alexis, Firmino, Can
Diego, Defoe, Austin
Jaku, Capoue, Amat, Friend
Should I take a hit or g2g?
I've just be offered an free wildcard on the dark web. Reckon it's gen?
Link?
Yep. Real thing.
What are you most proud of in your life? I have 3 children, once scored a perfect hat-trick on a football tour in France and finally finished inside the top 1k in FPL last season but I think I would have to say that the thing that makes me most proud is that I've never bought anything by U2.
That hat trick sounds rad
Diving header and two volleys as well. Someone in the crowd even said ooh la la 😆
Very deep question
Probably some of the projects i have built during my career i am pretty proud of i don't have kids myself and am quite proud i managed to avoid that problem also
Finishing in the top 1k last session is up there for me too though 🙂
Well done on avoiding the kids. Very sensible 🙂
Once finished one side of a Rubex Cube.
Taking the stickers off doesn't count.
😮 vvvv 😛
Admittedly I peeled off the red stickers and stuck them back on.....
😆
Collecting all 49 of the Candy Sticks football cards during the 93/94 season. That was despite my friend ripping up Mark Bosnich because he knew it was the only one I needed.
It's been all downhill since then.
Amazing! I hope he was no longer your friend after doing that? I completed the whole pro-set collection from 1991, including 2 different Tim Sherwoods (different pictures) and 2 Matt Let Tissier's (one spelt Le Tisser). That was another defining moment.
Risk of #mufc game being called off tomorrow night. Temperatures set to fall to minus 9 over night and the pitch is already hard and icy
Wimps
Pitch is in shocking condition tbf
https://twitter.com/SimonPeach/status/806545961476620289?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
The bouncy castle looks fun though 😉
Cover the pitch with Rooney's wig overnight....
Or a few hundred speed daters? Surely they would help break the ice?
Relegation contenders Leicester have conceded 2 goals in each of their last 4 games. Their free scoring opponents were West Brom, Watford, Middlesbrough and Sunderland.
Manchester City have wobbled a little recently but in recent weeks they have beaten Barcelona and were arguably unfortunate not to beat champions elect Chelsea.
Iheanacho rises tonight folks so remember...if you're not fast, you're last!
I'm covering Nacho with KDB (C)
Agree with this
City s next two games at Leicester and home to Watford might be just as good as Kane having hull and Burnley in a row.
KDB and Nacho will look to contribute in anything they do .
Help please
1FT
1) Sterling to Sigy
2) Diomande to Anichebe
3) Or both for a hit and maybe play AoA?
Very tempted by Anichebe's stats and up against Swansea this weekend. My team:
Foster/Pickford
Clyne/Alonso/Cedric/Amat/3.9
Hazard/Sanchez/Walcott/Firmino/Sterling
Kane/Austin/Diomande
Thank you
Just 1 imo
Dio and Anichebe are both useless donkeys. If you've got one there is no point wasting a transfer on getting the other.
Just 1
To the point! Thanks for the help guys, Anichebe what am I thinking?!
Good to go this week guys??
Foster
Lovren - Mee - Alonso
Hazard (C) - De Bruyne - Sanchez - Can
Kane - Costa - Austin
Bench - Jaku - Fletcher - McAuley - Kingsley
KDB (C)
You don't know how tempted by that I've been, I fancy him to do summat but just think Hazard's home form is difficult to ignore. Gonna be switching between them both until the deadline.....
I'm going for it. Desperately need to climb the rankings. Either a masterstroke or it will end in tears.
Good luck, I think it will work.
Just can't see him blanking in the next two games with his consistency rate , he is on the verge of being world class.
Agreed, massive differential in terms of ownership and armband for this weekend stuff it i might join you.
KDB worth a punt .
Must be a crazy differential . Leicester are horrible , simply horrible .
I have a rule never to take a hit for a defender, however, seriously considering it this week to bring in a Chelsea defender. Madness?
Who are you planning on replacing?
Who would you be taking out? basically the chelsea defender would have to get a clean sheet to cover your hit so it prob is madness......
Worth it for Alonso over the long run. If he ends up with an assist plus CS this week he might just pay those 4 points this week itself .
Play Erik (mun) or Anichebe (swa), have Kane.
Anichebe and it aint even close.
beware with the short names,they have a certain erik lamela too
Eriksen is a big game player and much better form with set pieces.
Form over fixture
Debating KDB/Giroud ---> Sanchez/??
KDB's best games this season were also with Aguero out if I remember right, so thinking of keeping him to just transfer a striker without taking a hit this week.
Possibly Defoe/Benteke/Origi in Giroud's place?
Also have Anichebe so Defoe doesn't look as appealing
Just the striker. Keep KDB
No, keep KDB next two weeks imo
Best player in that city team now with his consistency.
Like the Sanchez/Origi sounds like a decent combo
Anichebe
