Next this Saturday, we catch up on the member’s area statistics over the last three rounds of fixtures with our usual post-Gameweek article.
We assess the lay of the land at Arsenal as a result of Olivier Giroud’s first-team return before analysing Tottenham’s man of the moment and Manchester United’s pair of form players.
West Ham and Everton also play a part in our thinking ahead of some fine upcoming fixtures.
What about Zaha to Stanislas?
Good point. But number of minutes through the passed weeks is a big concern for this transfer
zaha to stanislas.
as for cedric, i had him too but he either was rotated or not performing, while last match he got injured and that was his end for me.
you should have a better and useful 3rd stiker than ani
Regret that I saved some cash and did not go with VVD. However, Saints' performsnce is mostly disgusting, this is a main problem with Cedric
Shkodran Mustafi has never lost a game as an
Arsenal player: WDWWWWWWDWWDDDWWWDW
Games: 19
Goals conceded: 19
Clean sheets: 5
contrasting statistics
but played awful tonight
that's why contrasting statistics
Blocked a real goal chance however
Heaton Grant
Alonso Ake Baines Friend Brunt
Sanchez Stanislas Alli Lallana Phillips
Ibra Rondon Costa
1. Heaton home vs SOU or Grant away vs SUN?
2. got Friend before last GW, didnt like him starting on the bench, came on (played well and could have got assists) late enough not to get cleansheet.. do you think he ll get starts next 3 GWs or change to another MID defender? it was between him and chambers for the price 4.4
3. Thinking of bringing Giroud instead of Rondon, at least for GW 21. Who would you trust more regarding points output? if giroud, keep him and not bring rondon for WBA's nice fixtures?
4. Which 4 players would you bench for GW21?
Thank you
1. 50/50 but I went Grant
2. Start him ahead of Baines and Brunt
3. Worth it imo.
4. All WBA and Baines/Friend
With Giroud you have a great squad for next few weeks
thank you 🙂
i d like to start baines but cant predict how that match may go with everton missing gueye, they already lost at home today, so probably he ll be on my bench
allez olivier
This gary barlow show has been so poor
Never forget
Car crash TV
what did you expect?
Good day,
I would like either sterling or Yaya for the next 5 gameweeks.
Pros and cons for each?
Pep is a big con for both.
Yaya is on pens and with Fernandinho suspended is nailed more or less
Would the absence of Fernandinho prohibit Yaya from contributing in the final third?
Sterling seems to be playing the full 90 minutes for quite sometime.
Maybe, but he can contribute with long balls as well. Yaya just a classy player with spot kicks. Sterling is more "rotateable" with Navas/KDB/Silva/Nolito/Sane as other winger options
Yaya is a decent punt especially now that he is on spot kicks
Sterling will become Jesus very shortly imo and when he does he will be essential
Thought you meant Jesus Navas for a moment and was pretty skeptical...
Sterling - pros are that he runs like Velma from Scooby-Doo. Cons are that he finishes like her as well.
Yaya - pros are penalties. Cons are his birthday is coming up soon.
Liking your work.
Can we petition Man City to get an orange away kit with red shorts?
Good idea. And a great Dane as their new mascot:-)
Since when was Yaya on spot kicks?
He took one at West Ham last night while Aguero was on the pitch
ah just looked, not good news that
I think it is, for both Kun and Yaya owners.
Bellerin injured...
source?
Wenger just now..
Wenger just said so.
Any details
Hi all,
Heaton
Rose - Brunt - Ake - Alonso - Holebas
Sanchez - Alli - Coutinho - Walcott - Fletcher
Costa - Lukaku - Anichebe
On WC, i think this must be the best i can do...
0.0 ITB
Thoughts?
Ake might be going back. Alonso might be rotation risk.
You can't have two fodders in your team. Fletcher > Phillips somehow.
Last two hot topics will be fun reading if a couple of weeks time.
Not got time to read them now?
Ha this. The title of the Aguero one is particularly aggravating.
who is the best midfield option below 6.4m except phillips??
1. stanislas
2. walters
3. mirallas
4. iwobi
5. rodriguez
1 or 5.
1
1
Not 3
Giroud a great player to have now?
Also, any news on Walcott? Might go triple Arsenal attack.
I would get him if I could
Not when Sanchez starts upfront against Swansea
why would sanchez start there?
Because when he was Arsenal we're actually playing better! The main reason Giroud came in was because of the Walcott injury but now it appears he is fit. Could go either way but I still think he is a serious rotation risk.
Think this is it.wildcard draft no.1000
Grant jak
Brunt Baines Daniels Friend yoshida
Hazard Alexis Eriksen Philips Clayton
Costa Ibra Giroud
Two more games for hazard and then downgrade to coutino and upgrade a defender for free.
Thoughts lads.
Good plan
Thanks kun
thats my team more or less, so its gtg
Thanks for reply nertorc
I look forward to the next draft.
Cheers epic.will probably be in the next half hour or so.
You're gonna be playing 3-4-3...so one defender can be fodder...plough the savings into upgrading Jaku to something better. You only need 4 playing defenders
I'm banking on jak getting a recall but a good point.
Looks sexy ... gks is the issue imo
When I have two playing keepers I always choose the wrong one so I don't bother anymore.
Make it a better keeper than grant then...Heaton's the favourite round these parts
Listen to this cat .. miawwww
Maybe a plan.cheers cat.
Not bad. Id rate Defoe over Giroud personally - save yourself a transfer in a couple of weeks time when you lose patience with donkey bench warming 🙂
I honestly think wenger will keep playing him now for a while anyway.he's in great form and a good focal point for their attack.I think he could be on pens too.
And I was very happy having both ake and Daniels for next three ! Lol
If Ake gets recalled, does that mean Adam Smith goes back to being a nailed option?
Probably
Mist likely :
Smith francis cook daniels
Yes
Hi all!
Who do you reckon I should get in for KdB next week? Can afford literally any midfielder?
Randolph 3.9
Alonso Jones Pieters Nyom Amat
KdB* San©hez Alli Antonio Flecther
Costa Ibra Rondon
0itb
Was thinking Walcott but he didn't start today. Anyone starting a good run besides Phillips (have 3 WBA already)?
Thanks!
Hazard
Think Costa and Alonso is enough Chelsea. Want to differentiate, have had Hazard and the other two are far more consistent!
Coutinho when he is fit?
Yes was thinking of him, Jaks, worry is if he starts vs. swansea. Hopefully he'll play some part in the next couple of games and I'll be able to confidently draft him in. Bit of a bench risk otherwise!
Was thinking of getting Stanislaus actually for the two Bournemouth home games!
Alonso to Baines (-4)?
No
Before city for a hit ?
Forgot about that, will wait then
Always best to look at the fixtures before planning moves 😉
I wasn't aware Toure's record was so good . It's hard to see Aguero getting on pens again .
Man City midfielder Yaya Toure's penalty against Hull City means that he now has the best penalty success record in Premier League history of players with more than ten spot kicks to their name.
The Ivorian's penalty opened the scoring on Boxing Day in the 72nd minute and was followed by two further goals as City ran out 3-0 winners at the KCOM Stadium.
The goal meant that Toure has scored all ten of his penalties in the Premier League during his time at City and boasts a 100% record from the spot during his time in English football.
The record puts him ahead of Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier, who has scored 25 of his 26 spot kicks (96%) and former Liverpool and Spurs midfielder Danny Murphy's 18/19 (95%) record.

The question now : is yaya even nailed on ?
Baines cant be too far behind. Also what about the guy we signed from southampton cant remember his name lol
Lambert ?? I think he is on 100% too
Ah, the guy that's been erased from history by Jamie Vardy 🙂
West Brom legend.
Hasn't Baines missed penalties before? I'm sure he had one saved that eventually hit the post and went in off the keeper's back. Might have been a cup match though ....
Was all set on Lovren + Origi to Ake + Defoe but might skip that plan for now. What would you do with this team, 0.6 itb:
Valdes Jaku
Alonso Lovren Holebas Pieters Amat
Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Jrod Fletcher
Ibra Costa Origi
Roque Santa Claus was popular team name here few seasons ago, right?
dont remember that to be honest
Roque santa cruz
That was Blackburn he played for...so more than a few years 🙂
yeah, I know
Hate taking hits but considering this one ?
Grant
Holebas Pieters Jones
Sanchez Hazard Lallana Siggy*
Kun Ibra Tekkers*
Pickford Nyom Amat Carrick 1FT 0.1 ITB
A) Siggy + Tekkers > Phillips + Giroud (-4)
B) Save FT
A looks good ... but no spurs attacker may hurt !!
I would sell anyone of your other 3 mids before i would get rid of Siggy
But that aside i like the move
amazing ranking u have but i disagree with siggy not first out
bad fixtures for him coming up and afters spurs phillips has good fixtures
also price difference helps a lot
Why do hits never work for me?
Fuchs - scored 0,0,1
Bellerin - scored 0 then injured
Hits for defenders are the hardest hits to get right anyway.
True dat. Hurts me everytime.
what to do with that lot?
boruc pickford
walker coleman hokebas evans amat
sanchez sterling lallana allen coqulin
aguero costa ibra
1 FT and 0 in the bank
Coq>that 4.3m guy or deroon
coqulin 4.3 and de roon 4.4
really? wow
so what to do?
🙂
would u suggest?
Save for now. See how Coutinho fares. then lal>cout + sterling>phillips
3-4-3 again
Holebas down to Chambers to free up pennies.
Allen upgrade to Phillips or Stanislas.
Leave the rest.
can't do allen to phillips
may be stanislas
allen in my squad 5.1 and stanislas now 5.1 and i got 0 in the bank
do u think it deserves a hit from holebas to chambers?
Kun or eriksen captain this week ?
kun for me
And for me. But don't copy us.
Me too
LoL
i didn't copy anything 🙂
really? Sanchez for sure.
He is very good option this week vs a very leaky side .. but for me it's one from kun and eriksen ?
Then Kun. Don't fancy Spurs this week
Sanchez or Alli for me
Who between Kun and Eriksen though?
Sanchez or Costa for me
Wtf ... I'm asking for me not yours .lol
ERIKSEN OR KUN ?
Lol got carried away. Gotta be kun
LoL
Zlatan.
I'm done with that ..
Kun from those two...but better options outside those two
This
Brilliant guys
Cheers
Anything worth a hit? 0.4 ITB
Heaton
Alonso Chambers Pieters
Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Phillips
Ibra Costa Origi
Grant Brunt de Roon Kingsley
Nah, no hit, looks good.
Pieters to daniels if affordable ?
Only 4.8 mate
Not for a hit
For a long term it will pay off .. so it worth it imo with hull next fixture
Anyways 4.8 not enough so no hits needed.
How's this WC draft looking?
TV; £105.7
SV: £104.5
Heaton
Azpi Bellerin Baines
Sanchez Lallana/Cout Alli Phillips
Ibra Costa Defoe/Giroud
Subs; Robinson Ake McAuley De Roon
sweet
Cheers!
Not heard the Ake news? Probably back to Chelsea.
Decent chance of playing there though surely otherwise why would he call him back?
There is no cover for Alonso. Without injuries he will warm the bench.
Very nice.
I'd go Defoe and Eriksen this week. Then bring in Coutinho
Cheers mate.
Eriksen over Alli though?
No Sanchez and no Hazard it might be the way to go you know
I'm not going without a player like Alexis Sanchez thanks.
He is doing really very well without sanchez till now tbh ... great rank atm
But yeah we are not that brave to go without lexi
RIP-
No Hazard. No major loss.
No Sanchez? No thanks!
No Sanchez he says :snigger: 🙂
If Ake back to Chelsea, will he play in start XI? Who will he replace?
No
Maybe
Alonso
It would be intesting-Alonso 6.5, Ake 4.4.
It would be a headache
I would swap Alonso for a nailed down Chelsea defender to avoid it
I can sell Alonso for 6.2, so only Luiz is my option.
Ya i might switch to Luiz also when i see how the dust settles
He has fk potential and is nailed
So we need wait and see what will happen:)
Probably Cahill in future if he were to.
Would be brilliant in a back 3, good ball player and left footed so natural fit at LCB.
At Boro Ake can play every game, it would be a shame for him to sit at Chelsea bench to the end of the season.
Bmouth*
Yes, sorry:)
He has a good chance IMO. Playing as a 3rd with Azpi back to his natural position out wide. Rumours they are going for another wing back too. Ake can cover wide also, so I see the appeal in recalling him. Seems Conte isn't too happy with his wing-backs.
Could be bargain of the season.
3rd CB*
I have seen few games with him this season and IMO he looks good. Currently I've got Alonso in my team, but I don't like his style.
He won't be going back to Chelsea till the summer
Conte's recalled him early...he's played his last for Bournemouth in all likelihood
I'd love to see this scenario.
Would it not be Moses who is at most risk?
Play Ake in the back 3 and move Azpi to RWB. I believe when he first moved to England, Azpi was a RB who could also play LB but because Ivanovic had RB nailed down, Azpi played LB.
Correct me if i'm wrong anyone.
Could be either Alonso or Moses IMO, could be both if they also sign a full back as has been regularly rumoured.
I don't think Ake will jump straight into the team anyway.
It's a worry though for us Ake and Alonso owners.
Yes, at Marseille he was RB, in Chelsea at RB was Ivanovic, so he has to play as LB. It's also possible option to make Azpi RWB, and Ake in central of def.
Backup for Cahill and Alonso
Unfortunayely got stuck with pickford kai marschall. Now that jakupovic had a good performance under the new manager should i be worried? Shal i do marschall to grant/randolph for -4?
Or Mannone at 4.3
Not for a -4 but you should deal with it asap
And of the two I'd sell Pickford. He is nailed on out, there is a pretty good chance Marshall can keep his place. He is the better keeper.
New guy will want to see all his players, so Marshall might play.
Avoid the hit, transfer next week
Thanks all
Do I give Payet (CRY) one more game?
Grant
PVA Valencia Chambers
Hazard Sanchez (c) Payet Snoddy Phillips
Ibra Kane
Heaton Anichebe McAuley Amat
Payet has given up on West Ham it is a nice fixture but if i was Bilic i would drop him
Defoe or Giroud?
I already own Alexis so would 2x Arsenal be too much?
Defoe..giroud even less nailed with welbeck back and walcott to.
Cheers!
If chasing Giroud, if high up already Defoe. Arsenal have nice fixtures and Giroud is streaky.
what s up with ake? is hd really going to chelsea or it s just rumours based on conte saying he will think abput it?
Eddie Howe said he is going back in January, but not 100% complete yet.
7 years, 3 months agoHeaton / Jakupovic
Alonso / Holebas / Cedric / McAuley
Hazard / Alexis / Phillips / Walcott / Zaha
Kun / Ibrahimovic / Anichebe
1FT, 0.1 ITB
Kept Wally for run in, already lost 0.2 in value but now I know that he should had been sold for Alli.
A) Zaha => Snodgrass even with poor fixtures after this GW and keep Walcott
B) Walcott and Zaha => Coutinho and Stanislas for -4
C) Other combo
D) WC to remove Zaha/Anichebe/Walcott/Cedric/Holebas etc.
