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.
Raith Rovers had to play a Centre Forward in goals tonight as their 3 keepers were all injured
Wouldn't be good from an FPL aspect
Reverse OOP to the max.
Aberdeen has 19 shots (with a miserly 1 on target), 71% possession and 18 corners (last checked at 85mins). They got beat 1-0.
Yip now only 24 points behind Celtic and Celtic have a game in hand
Scottish football...
At least the majority of footballers are actually Scottish....That's where England are going wrong...
Yeah cause Scotland are brilliant at football
Yep took the early price on this before it dropped to 7/10
Bench two??
Alonso McAuley Coleman Baines Yoshida
McAuley & Yoshida
Play Coleman and Baines vs Spurs?
Baines and Yoshia imo.
Mee too.
Bought Alli for 8.2. Should i drop him for Sterling for a -4? Already got in kun this week..
Depends on the rest of your squad too.
No need to do it tonight.
Seems to be quite an even split in regards to TC Aguero or not.
For those who are tc'ing him how many points would you expect minimum?
15
Might at least get a goal and 3 bonus in one of the matches. Might be looking at 9 + 2 = 11 x 3 = 33.
Not using TC though.
You'd want more than that for TC
I mean 15 x 3 not 15 total. That's minimum.
I know 🙂
Yeah I would want more but I'd be relatively satisfied with 45 points. Could do a lot worse.
Agree. You have to be realistic too
1 goal and a couple of bonus in each game, or a brace with 3 bonus. Not unrealistic. Just like the Mane hatty against Leicester 😉
What you want and what you get might not always conform 🙂 But I agree, and will save tc.
time goes by I am less and less confident about it.. that's a bit sad for me since I really liked the idea.. but now there is a possibility of a TGW for Ibra and Sanchez is the ever reliable option..
but if Aguero were 2 play both matches fully I am convinced he would outscore ibra and sanchez in their dgws...
about how many points well 2 double figures would be ok...
11- 1 Goal+ One Assist
9- 1 Goal
9+11=20
TC=60
Lol Mcauley! 😀 He is the player I have longest without interruptions in my team (since gw3) and I am sorry he has no DGWs since I'll probably drop him because of that... gave me a bunch of feel good points.. it's kinda special when u lose the defenders CS and then a guy that shouldn't score scores.. it feels like u cheated somehow to get those points..... long live Gareth Mcauley a guy that at the age of 37 after 21 years of professional football career figured he would've been a decent striker if he ever wanted to...
Dirty points.
Imagine your captain become keeper if he is injured or got red card and then he also get some save point..crazy..
Anyone have John O'Shea back in the day?
I love it when it happens in the top flight. I seem to remember Wimbledon taking a pasting off someone and going down to ten with Vinny Jones in goal late on.
In The Crazy Gang, anything can happen.. 😉
---------------Jaku-----------------
-----Alonso Brunt Pieters------
Mane Alli Sigurdsson Phillips
--Ibrahimovic Costa Lukaku--
-----------------------------------------
Pickford Coleman Daniels Antonio
1 FT, 1.5 ITB
A) Alli, Costa > Sterling, Aguero -4
B) Phillips, Lukaku > Tom Carroll, Aguero -4
I have either B) or Kane/Eriksen to those 2. Still confused 🙂
A for me, Jay. Doing Eriksen, Costa -> Siggy, Aguero (-4)
Both options in B might play in 28
Cheers lads, Phillips being ruled out for a while would make B easy.
Would someone mind telling me the best way to determine when a particular player is going to rise/drop? I understand there are websites which can give you a good indication?
fplstatistics.com
Gw27 Erikson + Costa > Stirling + Aguero -4
Gw28 Alli > King
Gw29 Rondon > Kane
Gw30 Snodgrass > Sanchez somehow!
Good plan?
Bench Coleman or Evans? Currently benching evans.
Very tough, but I'd say bench Coleman out of those
Granville on the Scoutcast
Must've had a good score this week
I saw his score afew days ago and knew he would be on
Hey guys, thoughts here?
Foster
Baines - Coleman - Valencia - Azpi
Siggy - Mane - Snodgrass
Kane - Ibra(c) - Lukaku
Grant - De Roon - Amat - Stanislas
1.4 in the bank. Thanks!
Ibrah to kun C.
😯 Not Kane?
Yeh tough...
kane out
1.4 m. He can't afford kane can he?
Baines to Holgate could fund Kaku to Kun I believe- then Hokey Cokey Hokey Pokey the next week with Lukaku
Just another choice if you want Ibra for Bournemouth
Hmm. Looking at Mawson too. Think i'd rather drop Kane for Kun.
Can't wait for tomorrow's game to finish so I can just get moves done with 😀
Same here. Sanchez to Sterling and that's it.
it will be a bit of an anti climax if city get dumped out
Sell 2 of:
A) Stanislas
B) Friend
C) Holgate
D) Carroll
E) Phillips
A C from that list but good case for all of them!
AC
Which Carroll ?
Is Alli to Sterling (week 27) to Coutinho or Barkley (week 28) worth taking a -4 to do ?
Yes if DGW IMO
Ibra is the only player that can make way for Aguero in my team? Worth it?
If DGW the yes
*then
A) Friend (stk)
B) Maguire (lei)
Neither certain to play. Not sure what your question is?
Who people would rather play this week
Both are flagged so I would not play either but if fit Maguire over Friend
Is Zlatan, Kun and Sterling worth a -8?
Yes if City get a DGW
What's the rest of the story?
Could be good but need to know rest of team to comment
And who he sold!
Out Lukaku, Ali and Kane
Then get them back pretty soon
Alli to Sterling and Kane to Aguero if DWG confirmed would be my suggestion
Should pay but could blow up in your face. I'd keep Lukaku instead of Ibra bearing in mind It will save you 4pts and Lukaku plays in 28 when Ibra blanks
My Post early today:
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???
yep
Sell Defoe or Phillips to fund Aguero?
Phillips but need to know rest of team! I am selling Defoe because of fund needs
Phillips probably. Horrible fixtures coming up
Phillips is injured is he not? When is he expected back?
MRI tomorrow
Have 4.7m for a defender. Prefer it to be long term. Which one would you get?
A) Stones
B) Pieters
C) Cedric (4.8 - Somehow find the funds)
D) Anyone else?
Exclude Funes Mori and Mawson please.
Sorry posted before saw this. Robertson then
Robertson long term? I honestly, don't fancy Hull to keep very many clean sheets at all. I know they've been tight, but they need points against the smaller sides and will be more open. Those Liverpool, United games can blind people.
D Mawson
If you wanted to take some time to make a decision then Stones for DGW??
Yeah, Stones looks good long term. Just worry how many clean sheets he'll get though. They concede pretty much every game.
B
I was all set on ignoring Aguero for his double gameweek and opting for Sterling instead, but the Scoutcast has me reconsidering it.
My team is :
Heaton Pickford
Coleman Baines Luiz Francis Amat
Hazard Mane Eriksen Phillips Capoue
Ibra Lukaku Rondon
2FT, 1.3 ITB
I need to take GW 28 into account with my transfers as well.
So here are the options I'm considering :
A. Lukaku, Hazard -> Aguero, Sigurdsson this week.
Aguero -> Lukaku next week.
B. Phillips, Eriksen -> Sterling, Sigurdsson this week.
No transfer next week.
C. Phillips, Baines -> Sterling, Funes Mori this week.
Sterling -> Sigurdsson next week.
Anything else I'm not seeing?
A for me
really like A, B close second
A. Get Kun
Already done Stanislas -> Siggy.
Worth it to Alli and Lukaku -> Sterling and Aguero (-8) assuming City DGW?
Or just do Lukaku -> Aguero? (Would in both cases do Aguero -> Lukaku before GW28).
I am in a similar dilemma- see above. I am chasing so thinking seriously about -8 to get Ibra, Kun and Sterling. Nobody has endorsed it so based on some other options I would say A (1st choice); I may do my -8 ... but only because.. YOLO
Some other opinions*
good to go for the week? likely going kunless
Foster
Coleman, PvA, Pieters
Eriksen, Sterling, Kdb (c), Allen
Costa, Kane, Lukaku
Randolph, Lanzini, Funes Mori, Robertson 0.8itb 0frees
maybe play Robertson over PvA or Coleman?
Cheers all, can you tell me when are you people planning to use TC ? is Aguero with this possible DGW nailed to use it ? or should I wait? ( I am 1.in my league, 62. points ahead of 2., all boosts and WC still avaible, any ideas/plans for using that triple captain please?
its a high ceiling play but i dont trust kun this season enough to use the first tc in the first dgw with likely sanchez one down the road
yes, I am thinking pretty same, this season is weird for Aguero, I hope that Alexis will keep form until end, I will probably wait for his dgw with good fixtures, thank you
I'm not planning on using TC on Aguero if he has a double in GW27.I feel game time too risky for TC. I will wait for a DGW for Kane/Alexis. I got 75pts for Alexis TC last season.
Yes 1 goal each game with 1 assist over both games with bonus should return at least 20 points x 3 =60. Rather have points in bag now as who knows what injuries may happen by next double game week
....also check the others in your league as to their TC status. If close opponents have used theirsome it gives you time to wait.
I could actually do ...
Kane and Phillips ~> Kun and Sané
Then bring Kane back in for Southampton and then Sane to West Ham midfielder
Is Sane nailed enough?
Yep, nailed and playing really well.
If City get through tomorrow, FFS should do an extra Captain poll....
Are you Triple Captaining Aguero?
Yes
No
Template building.
Yep, much like the regular Captain Poll!
Or just have two Aguero options on there.
Aguero and Aguero (triple captain).
A) Kolarov
B) Sane
For a City triple up with Kun and Sterling
Sane here, cover the front 3, it's where it's happening.
Just watched the scout cast. ..
All 4 of them seriously looking at triple capt Kun......
I normally avoid the group think but in this case it's a bit too tempting.
Enjoyed the show Granville.
I think you may have convinced me to give it a whirl too....
Fixtures, form v MON... tempting you Flynny? sun STO? lol
It's extremely tempting....may not be a better time....
I'm not even sure if my rivals will fathom that city have a dgw......not sure if that helps or not....
It's dangerous stuff... making me consider an 8pt and using Aguero TC too 😆
SAS & TC too Lawro?
That's what I'm looking at but only toying with it at this stage 😀
Also tempted by Arnie as it makes things a little easier and I think he's being undervalued
His run @TOT was brilliant, MID a bit bus-parky then @citeh though, nah, Sane 3rd option here.
Unfortunately I'm probably priced out of Sane. It would be either Ibra and Arnie or Costa and Sane... pretty annoying... will probably just end up doing Costa and Alli --> Aguero and Sterling
Which to do (after the FA Cup Replay, of course)?
A) Phillips > Sterling
B) Phillips > Sané
AND
1) Sterling/Sané (C)
2) Ibrahimovic (C)
Kun is the most important City player it get
to get*
What is more important ?
A) Owning 2 City attackers and 10 playing in GW28
B) 1 City attacker and Zlatan but only 8-9 in GW28
B
How does that work?
Selling Lukaku but then having to get him back
I have issues with Stanislas and Phillips too
A) ---even if the city attacker doesn't match zlatan the extra player in 28 can make it up for it
Not much playing week 28 so I doubt the extra player will make much difference
