Our usual post-Gameweek delve into the Opta members’ data arrives for your Tuesday night perusal now, as we cast an eye over a pair of Belgian frontmen with contrasting recent fortunes and highlight a couple of in-form wingers with Gameweek 28 fixtures to follow.
Elsewhere, we check up on a couple of Spurs attackers in light of the return to 3-4-2-1 before assessing the recent showings of West Brom’s six-goal centre-back.
Bloomin' McAuley again.
Was going to write something similar but decided not to 🙂
McAlways
Can he compete like this next season aswell though ? He's about 50
Also - Scoutcast link now available. Tune in at 9:30pm 🙂

Are you going to talk about Sterling vs Aguero Jonty?
You can leave questions in the hot topic and they might cover it.
Is Aguero or Sterling raising tonight? Or will it be fine to wait and see if City gets a DGW? Thanks.
And status A means? Thanks!
Available
They're not even close. You're safe to wait.
Thanks!
Let's put a bet on how many times Jonty says 'hokey kokey' tonight
I'm betting 6
Depends if he sees this post or not... I'm going to say 2
Trump calls it the Hokey Pokey
Jaku Pickford
Alonso Coleman McAuley Maguire Mawson
Eriksen Mane Siggy Phillips T. Carroll
Kane Ibra Lukaku
Won't bore everyone with all the headache-inducing alternative permutations... but I have exact money for Phillips to Sterling tonight (before Phillips drops). It's simple. It's clean. And I'm really tempted.
That would save me a load of hits (which would come with any other moves) / hokey-cokeys (Lukaku-Kun-Lukaku) / taking out good players (Kane/Eriksen) / lost value etc. Is Sterling enough City cover regardless of tomorrow's result, or is the potential stress of watching Kun in a DGW when I don't have him too much to bear?
Short version: if getting Kun involves lots of hits and complications and team is already set up well without him, is Sterling enough City cover?
Same boat
Glad I'm not the only one. Have been considering about twenty different configurations of hits and whatnot, and giving myself a migraine in the process, then suddenly realised the Phillips --> Sterling option was there and maybe enough on its own. Which way are you leaning?
Go for it. Phillips isn't worth losing sleep over. Not like he'll do much even if he is fit for gw28.
Yeah it's more going without Kun that worries me - doing this tonight shuts off any realistic avenues to getting Aguero in, but feels like it might be the best option
Yes just stirling in your case
Cheers all. The optimist in me thinks that even if Kun explodes, Sterling (who I'll prob captain if he has a double) will likely be somewhat in the points and so potential downside of not having Kun is limited. We'll see if I feel that calm when the games begin...
Me in the catch-up position, I am getting Kun. If your sitting pretty in your league- no need. Btw, Phillips is at -77% in FFFix so he won't drop tonight most likely
do it mate.. i can't see any downsides to that transfer
Anyone know if Mkhi will be fit for the Bournemouth game?
Good plan or too many hits? (Getting Sanchez GW 29 is a priority).
GW 27 Eriksen, Costa > Sterling, Kun for -4
GW 28 Sterling > Mane / Cou / Barkley
GW 29 Mane, Kun > Sanchez, Costa for -4
But if Phillips is out than swap for King in GW 28 so it would be a hit there too.
Really don't like losing Mane week 29 as he has good fixtures and is class. Sanchez can wait until fixtures improve week 30 or so; otherwise looks good
McAuley and Coleman. My two loves 😆
Brunty & Baines here, sigh...
This 🙁
I've seen a few looking to bench Baines @TOT, oh for a pen... let's pray lol
Same. Choosing brunt and baines over mcu and coleman has prevented me to top my ml 🙁
Brunt 75 pts in approx 16 games
McAuley 108 pts in all 26
I don't get it. Brunt is the better pick, just stick with him.
points dont lie
In the last 5 weeks they've got me 82 points 😯
Against my better discipline, since it seems so sexy, I am looking to get talked out of this -8 insanity:
Jaku Heaton
Coleman Alonso Baines Daniels Mcauley
Alli Mane Siggy Philips T Carroll
Kane Kaku Defoe. 4.4 itb
Defoe will fall tonite:
So would you do Defoe to Ibra tonite; and then if City beats Hud:
Alli to Sterling for DGW to free up enough to do Kane to Kun... all for -8 this week???
Fatherly advice would be a simple Kane to Kun tomorrow if he has a DGW...
No point getting ibra for one gw. Just do defoe > aguero and raise the funds how ever you need to.
So Alli to budget Mid for a hit to get the funds.... hmmm... maybe King or Fraser. Sterling and Kone doesn't get me enough... good shout Sess...cheers
King worth consideration given he has pens, potentially OOP, cheap (just about benchable as a 5th mid) and has a game gw28.
Actually can do Alli to Sterling to fund Defoe to Kun... may do this tonite and hide behind couch tomorrow
If exact money then worth the risk.
I'm looking at alternatives to getting rid of Kane
Kane at home and in form... rather lose Defoe ... who are your forwards ?
Diame meant that. Lovely flick
1-1 Newcastle score
Boooo
Urns?
Oh the shame as we swap places next season.
LOL BRIGHTON
Newcastle equaliser with 10 mins left
1-0 Brighton
Penalty
Getting 2 City players is risky and safe.
Risky as Pep may rotate but safe as if he bench one of them other may play both games so it's like getting 2 lottery tickets instead of one, right?
He can bench both and that would be a disaster..
Well I'm glad you cleared that up
No Jesus and Nacho out of favor... Kun is safe and even Sterling is as he is Pep's front row teacher's pet.
right
Newcastle goal
That was coming.
Yep
2-1 Newcastle
2-1 Newcastle
Brighton to blow it again 🙂
Easy to get a blow in Brighton
Brighton fans leaving...
Why aren't they doing the ScoutCast tomorrow so that the City result, minutes, etc is known?
Makes it all ifs and buts doing it tonight.
Do you reckon Huddersfield will save players for their clash against NUFC on saturday? important game for them.
Yeah
Surely a better chance for promotion than a FA cup win. Better reward too.
They should unless they are idiots.
Need advice here.. 1ft 2.0itb
Grant
Alonso McAuley Coleman Yoshida
Alli Mane Siggy
Ibra (c) Costa Lukaku
Heaton Baines T.Caroll Phillips*
a)Phillips >Pedro
b)Phillips >Chadli
c)Lukaku >Gabbiadini
d)Alli > Sterling
e)Phillips Lukaku > Sterling Gabbiadini -4
Considered f) Costa / Alli -> Sterling / Aguero?
Yeah,looks good.But will wait first.
Tough one as Pedro will rise tonight... with DGW likely- wait tomorrow and do Alli to Sterling tomorrow... unless you want a differential to catch up... then Phil to Pedro tonight and Alli to Sterling tomorrow for a hit if they have a DGW
Like the idea.Dont realy care about price rise.
FT 2-1 to Newcastle
Thanks Syd
Lukaku and Stan -> Aguero and TCarrol (-4) worth it?
Then Aguero and KDB -> Lukaku and Liverpool mid for 28?
Looks good. Wait though.
Aston Villa even won a game tonight
We are living in the Matrix, confirmed.
Steve McClaren doing what he does best
With Defoe TV at 7.9 and my SV at 7.8... when he falls tonight, my SV will go down to 7.7, right?
Yes.
Not if you bought him for 7.8.
Yes thats true. I assumed he´d bought him for 7.7.
Yeah can't give the correct answer without knowing what he bought him for.
For the record I think you're right in your presumption that it was less than 7.8
Where do we look this up- I put in for a transfer and the SV comes up for the players but not the price I bought the players for...??
Thanks Kumast and Sess!
Phillips to:-
a. King
b. Snodgrass
(have siggy)
King
thanks. Anyone else?
Any new injury news? Or just tired of the guy?
He´s having a hamstring scan tomorrow. I don't think he´ll play next weekend.
Right. Hopefully he'll be ready for gw 28.
King has higher upside I feel for the reasons I mentioned few posts above.
Thanks, i´ll go up and read that...
What do you mean ´upside´?
I think he has the highest chance of scoring the most points.
Between him and Snoddy you mean?
Newcasle play Brighton, Huddersfield then Reading.
Wow.
Well they have had a good start to that run
