Paul Next, we turn to our post-Gameweek members article, casting an eye over Spurs’ main men in defence and attack as the Harry Kane exodus picks up pace. Meanwhile, over on the other side of north London, a Gunners’ winger is assessed ahead of a very tempting schedule.
Chelsea’s recent struggles in attack also come under analysis, while we check out the impact of Michael Carrick on United’s big-money signing as the competition for places in our five-man midfields continues to escalate.
Origi owners holding this weekend?
Yep
Yeah I'd be very surprised if he didn't start
Yes why not?
Chance of him being rested
Defo
I think he may be rotated
klopp pretty much called sturridge a 'super sub' after the game, as in thats his role now. origi playing too well to drop
Yes, rather begrudginly. Cant see a better alternative and need a hit to bring in a Pool mid
Hazard owners holding despite injury scare?
If he's dropping in price then I'm selling because I need the funds to switch to Sanchez
Waiting for the pressers.
^Ignore this post, just read the debate on pointless FPL flags this season, I guess with as much as a simple google search it's easy to see there's nothing wrong with him.
I found the opposite when I searched....
This. Always check the news now sites. I usually look at the 200 flagged players each gw then search myself to see who is really a doubt.
For sure.
If I didn't own and was looking to buy I think there's enough doubts there to wait, but as an owner I'm not too bothered, fairly certain he'll play.
Captain?
Ibra of course
of course
waiting for news, he's obviously not 100% after the knock he took against west brom.
Even after missing a game v sunderland it seems the problem hasn't gone away so he is a risk over the christmas period
Firmino owners how unlucky...
Just watched the game, he could easily have had 2 or 3 goals and a couple of assists to boot. Sellers got away with murder there!
🙁
He also had moments of sheer WTF. He doesn't play well in the wing in my opinion
he looked good to me, could have had huge haul if it werent for some amazing saves and coleman's clearance. still got into those strikers positions even from the wing
Top 5 goals per min across Europe so far this season
5. Lionel Messi - Barcelona
4. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - Borussia Dortmund
3. Maroon Balotelli - Nice
2. Edinson Cavani - PSG
1. Radamel Falcao - Monaco
not sure Falcao stays on that list if penalties are removed. Much like for the rest of his career.
Still it's an improvement after his showing in the PL
Agreed, for equality I think all of these goal tables etc should be complimented with the same table without pens
I saw that Balotelli was having a great season. Who'd have thought
Griezmann: "Koscielny always talks to me about moving to Arsenal. I'm good in Madrid. I don't want to leave, I'm happy here"
Unlucky Kos
yet he fancys the MLS just so he can watch basketball...
love then NBA tbf
I wana see him doing his celebration in an arsenal shirt
It's possible only on FIFA
When are the pressers this week? The usual Thursday-Friday or later?
Do we have an idea on when Coutinho will return?
Aguero + Coutinho in GW20 would be lovely vs Burnley and Sunderland (for Ibra + Hazard??)
New Year's Day has been touted.
It says in the game. "Expected back 14th Jan"
Wait with Cout...Liverpool fixtures aren't that good. Keep in mind Mane is also gone in January.
Aiming for the city game, I would imagine he wouldnt be a starter if he was it would be 60mins only,so maybe the game after..
How I wish I went for Mane back when I picked Firmino
😎
Bobby is the best, but too inconsistend and unlucky
idk, he's been pretty consistent recently 😉
Ditto. My mate, and mini league rival, asked my opinion over Firmino and Mane and I told him to get Mane as I saw him as being more expensive and yielding fewer returns than Firmino. He followed my "advice" and has got returns ever since, it seems, with Firmino blanking left, right and centre. Bloody karma.
wow, who does that?!
He did the same to me last season but I didn't get the returns hahahaha I hate karma.
Gtg for the next 2 gws??
Pickford
Alonso Vertonghen Holebas
Alexis Haz Mane Siggy Zaha
Zlatan Carroll
Boruc Anichebe Mcauley Amat
If Haz doesn't perform in the next 2 gws then he will become KDB..
Any thoughts guys??
Good side that, g2g imo
Thanks mate 🙂
Great team. Good to see Zaha in your team.
What are you doing about Mané during Afcon?
Thanks..Mane > Coutinho straight swap..
2FTs and thinking
Kane to Ibra
Llorente to Carroll
Yay or nay?
Just the first.
Thanks. You think Llorente worth sticking with for the next 3 weeks? Have Siggy already.
I have ibra and Carroll so I wud say yes but if u have Siggy,then do only the first one
Cheers. Why would you keep Llorente if already own Siggy? Would it not make more sense to get cover elsewhere given there performances over the last 2 weeks?
Siggy is more than enough cover from Swansea..Carroll have nice couple of fixtures coming up...so do both d transfers IMO..
Now that Luk's fixtures are easing up are some not getting him back?
I'm considering it, I need a 3rd striker under 10m and the options aren't great.
But he seemed to have a good link with Bolasie, which obviously now has ended for this season at least.
Costa / Ibra / Tekkers for me
I've been holding onto him all this time!
I should have done that instead of the Kaning.
No.
Anyone considering Sterling again? Too soon?
Or Yaya
I really want to early wildcard.
Iv got atleast 6 changes i wana make.
Do we really think its worth saving for the double gameweeks?
When the double GW's arrive you will wish you still had it, if you think you can gain more pts using it now than for a dgw go ahead....
Personally unless I had a major inj/susp/rotation crisis I wouldnt..
Every week i have a number of changes I want to make but cant
I am
Yes save it
Ideally I wud save it...but if u say u need to make at least 6 changes I wud say go for it early..
Nyom and Matip snub AFCON.
Top bloke Allan
Hello,
Do we have a time line on when the sky bonus points in the members stats will be fixed? They changed this year to a tiered system and it's not been fixed at all in the member stats
I use the stats for sky mainly and do pay my ten pounds per year. I'm not trying to cause trouble just would like to know when I can use the stats provided for my needs.
Thanks
I'll ask and see if I can find anything out
Thank you.
If you need to hire a feeelance data analyst to do these sorts of things in available.
Why Fer hasn't played recently ? Do we have anyone here to (up to 6,6m) transfer him out for -4 as he is my 4th mid? Also having suspended Costa up in front.
I have Chadli in mind once I'm convinced to lose Pedro
How's this look people?... (0FTs, 0.3ITB). Anything worth a hit?
Heaton
Walker - Lovren - Amat
Sanchez - Hazard - Siggy - Eriksen
Kane - Carroll - Zlatan(C)
(Jaku - Capoue - Pieters - Evans)
Not sold on Carroll myself. Possibly consider Ake over Amat, Swansea are leaking goals for fun.
ake can't play this week
Carroll's next game is Swansea
Gtg..nice team..
Aftr couple of gws I wud do
Haz > Coutinho
Kane > Costa
Agree mate, already have plans for Kane > Costa and downgrading Hazard to Coutinho to then be able to upgrade 1 defender to Azpi/Alonso.
That's the way to go..good luck..
front 8
sanchez hazard eriksen lallana allen
kane costa anichebe
A) hazard and eriksen out to sterling and walcott
B) kane out to bentebe but I'm planning next week to get costa instead of kane
C) eriksen to walcott and stick with hazard
D) other suggestion
I currently have Redmond and Allen as my 4th and 5th midfielders. Is it worth bringing in DeRoon as my 5th to bolster defence? If so, would you get rid of Redmon or Allen - or even both for Phillips?
leave allen and sell redmond
That's my current though. Choose Allen over Phillips?
If Allen stays as the number 10, yes. If not then Phillips would be good from GW20 onwards.
yes great fixture and money to save
allen great fixtures starting from gameweek 20
even next gameweek could play him against liverpool awful defence
Redmond
Chadli? (on pens)
Appreciate the feedback guys, cheers all!
Foster (pick)
Alonso Holebas Cedric (amat, mc auley)
Sanchez Hazard Payet Siggy (Whelan)
Ibra (c) Origi (costa)
0itb 1ft
Hate various parts (want to lose origi and shake up defence ideally).
a. Cedric/Gareth to Jones
b. Save ft.
c. Suggestions for coming weeks? I'm thinking of switching to 3-5-2 (Losing Origi to cheapie striker, whilst getting Lala and Walcott for Payet and Big Glenn Whelan)
Not that bad. Defence not too bad. One premium is acceptable, particularly when it's Alonso.
Good transfers for a 352 though. Do that
Which team looks better:
A)
Grant Pickford
Walker Alonso Holebas McAuley Cedric
Sanchez Hazard Zaha Sigurdsson Firmino
Ibra Anichebe Origi
OR
B)
Grant Pickford
Walker Alonso Holebas McAuley Cedric
Sanchez Hazard de Roon Sigurdsson Allen
Ibra Anichebe Aguero
a
How come? The overall balance of the team?
B for me
Changing Sigurdsson for Lallana at the end of Swansea's good fixture run.
zaha, firmino, origi, vs allen, de roon, aguero....prefer B
once aguero is back that is...
Yeah I am leaning towards B too just for Aguero. I'd be stuck in 442 though (which wouldn't be too bad given I'd have 4 of the biggest hitters in the game).
B
Just as additional comments, isn't zaha leaving for ACON? I prefer Cout for Pool cover than Firmino. If Cout is too expensive then Lallana. If youre going with B i would lose siggy for Cout/lallana. Finally, I would downgrade Cedric to sb cheaper if u need extra funds.
Hope this helps 🙂
Cheers, much appreciated. Team A is my current team. Team B is how I intend to get Aguero back into the squad. When Sigurdsson's decent run ends in 2-3GW I will be bringing Lallana in for him to get, as you rightly say, Liverpool cover.
B but maybe lose one premium defender (Walker) to upgrade Allen (Zaha/Phillips/Chadli)
I had debated this with the defenders. If I got rid of Walker, I think I would go for another Chelsea defender though. Zaha is going to AFCON but yes, Phillips would be a good option from GW20 onwards. I will have to see nearer the time how I manage it. I could even downgrade Holebas or Cedric to find the extra money for Phillips..........
Bailly back training
https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/811549327361458176
Worried about Jones? I am 🙁
Not really
Tempted to transfer Erisken out. But who do I get instead ?
Walcott? Got Sanchez
Siggy?
Lallana? Got Origi
Nolito/ Sterling ?
Thoughts?
You've missed the boat for Sigurdsson I think. Nolito and Sterling prone to rotation. Walcott is still the best out of those I think.
Getting rid of Nyom instead of Amat this week was a mistake based on the latest AFCON news...
What latest AFCON news?
Some Cameroon players are withdrawing from the squad, Nyom being one of them
I'm bringing in Sterling this week.
There, I said it.
Heaton
Alonso Holebas Toby
Sanchez (c) Hazard Firmino Siggy Sterling
Benteke Kane
you don't want to see my bench...
(pickford, anichebe, kingsley, ake)
Beast of a midfield.
About to use my wildcard (just cuz I still have it). Considering...
Cedric > Van Dijk
Redmond > De Roon
C. Wilson > Origi
J Evans > Ake
Will bring in Aguero after the Liverpool match.
Wise choices?
Not sure on Origi
Can you wait until after this GW? If Origi starts, I like this. He may be benched for Sturridge though.
I can wait, only really using it up for the sake of it.
I have 8.6m to spend on a striker, and I am torn between Defoe, Negredo and Benteke. It's for a -4, and I will be getting shot of Iheanacho. So...
A) Defoe,
B) Negredo or
C) Benteke
Benteke - fixtures are strong and Palace scoring more goals than other two teams combined
Benteke and stick with him
C
This Winks isn't going away. Is anyone getting him as fifth mid?
Mins played
GW10 4
GW11 2
GW12 90
GW13 26
GW14 8
GW15 24
GW16 29
GW17 90
Not for me ....
Selling firmino 6 gws ago and get Mane instead must be my luckiest move ever 😀
Top move! Can I ask why you made the switch? Never cosidered it here
Well i had Cout and Firmino, and then haz got that haul against Everton, so someone had to go. Then Cout gets injured and i had money the money for Mane,which had and awesome Home stats 😀
Quality stuff 🙂
Play Amat or Big Gareth?
Or get Jones in for the latter (using ft)?
