Paul 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.
Jaku Pickford
Alonso Toby Coleman Brunt Amat
Mane Eriksen Siggy De Roon Capoue
Ibra Lukaku Costa
1FT 2.4m itb
Costa > Aguero???
If City win tomorrow.
Yes but as I assume you want to play 4 defenders be aware if Toby not fit you will need De Roon or Capoue
Yes mate, got my eye on that. Thanks
ScoutCast is always better with Granville
AZ should do it too, want to see how his WC goes as some of us (gulp) have used ours early doors too lol 😉
G rant

B) kaku & phiilips -> Aguero & sterling -4
C) gray & stan & alli -> Aguero, sterling, t carroll -8??

Def A
Is Hazard + Lukaku --> Sterling + Aguero worth a -8 hit? DGW is assumed. If so, my team would look like this:
Grant
Azp - Coleman - Robertson
Eriksen - Alli - Siggy - Sterling
Aguero - Ibra - Carroll
Foster, Baines, T. Carroll, Amat
Very good team
Even with a -8 hit?
Will Robertson go up tonight?
No
Triple (C)aptain Poll.
Are you Triple Captaining Aguero this week? YES or NO
No
I can't really see a better week to do so. Sanchez vs Burnley (H) and Swansea (H)? Seems unlikely.
after watching the scoutcast im veering towards yes
But it all depends on tomorrow night, injuries, minutes, form and peps comments
Yes
Yes, unless he plays 120 minutes tomorrow.
Alli > Sane/Sterling for dgw captain???
Pickford
Alonso Coleman Valencia Brunt
Mane Eriksen Alli Siggy
Lukaku Ibra
Heaton Carroll Maguire Philips
Sounds decent
Bottomed. Which to do (after the FA Cup Replay, of course)?
A) Phillips > Sterling
B) Phillips > Sané
AND
1) Sterling/Sané (C)
2) Ibrahimovic (C)
I'm going Kun-less. Scary but cannot justify the hit shuffles I'd require further down the line.
A
1 if DGW, if not 2
A1
Cheers guys. Thought that was the best option. Just needed reassurance!
Still confused with this bunch.
Heaton Jaku
Alonso Coleman Brunt FunesMori Holebas
Mane Eriksen Siggy Phillips Fletcher
Kane Ibra Lukaku
1 FT, 1.7 in bank
Currently 9 in GW28 if Phillips plays
a) Lukaku + Phillips ➡ Aguero + 4.5m mid(-4)
b) Kane/Ibra + Eriksen ➡ Aguero + Sterling(-4)
c) Kane/Ibra ➡ Aguero
d) Lukaku + Alonso ➡ Aguero + up to 5.3m def(-4)
e) Kane + Phillips + Alonso ➡ Aguero + Sterling + 4.4m def(-8)
f) Lukaku + Eriksen + Phillips ➡ Aguero + Sterling + 5.1m mid(-8)
Cheers
F does look interesting.
With Allen possibly...
Good shout, that's my pick from the options.
Not as good in GW28 with one of the 3 strikers back to Lukaku. Could also lose Heaton to Grant instead of the Phillips move.
Ugh, that looks a bit busy mate? lol 😉 You trying to confuse Mark?
Mark never gets confused. 🙂
We have very similar teams and I'm looking at Kane -> Agüero(C). So I'd recommend going with C
B) or C) is probably the way to go
I presume you meant to say B) or C) selling kane?
Yep
So it's really Eriksen + 4 vs Sterling and whatever transfers after to get Eriksen back?
Yes, and transfer will be hard to come by after GW28... before the scoutcast I was against selling the Spurs mids but now I'm in a puntier state of mind! Objectively it's probably not worth it.
Cheers for the reply. Wish I could sell someone else tbh. Only Eriksen or Alonso work money wise.
Haha, are you putting up all these options to confuse Mark?
So there are no options for getting in Kun, Sterling and Sane?
Can I ask if you think it is better to keep Kane and do the sell/buy -4 extra for Lukaku, rather than just sell Kane?
FWIW, I may even go Alli, Phillips and Kane to Sterling, Sane and Kun -8
Have Eriksen and can't afford those 3 unless selling Siggy/Mane.
3 MC attackers = 28m so need to find 26.3 so 2 big mids would have to go.
Yeah, it seems those with Ibra can only get 2 MC attackers, which I would prefer easily over a 3rd City attacker and one less hit. I am sure Mark would prefer having Ibra too.
All about Ibra this week or keeping was a big waste.
Sell Lukaku or Kane for Ibra?
I wouldn't this week if that's what you are planning.
Sorry TM, it was all your talk of Ibra 🙂
I meant sell Lukaku or Kane for Kun? I was all set on Kane, but is there merit in selling Kaku instead?
Only works if Kane scores a lot more than Lukaku this week. Would want 8 points more from Kane than Lukaku this week as you are likely to make 2 hits in these 2 GWs plus the money to buy back.
I mean Kun of course 🙁
Like Andy said on the scoutcast.
Something like : Lukaku + 4 = Kane and 2 transfers used if selling Lukaku.
Really depends on plans after GW28 and extra money used to buy back.
I would lose more value selling Kane, who I have had since GW14. It's either 4 points or an extra transfer - not both.
It's basically Kane vs Kaku + 4, put simply? I guess I would have the option of selling Kun rather than Kane if I kept Kane though, hmmmmm.
Most will sell Kun in 28 it's most about what you think they will score in 27. You won't buy Kane in 28 if you kept Kaku so get stuck with Aguero or find a GW28 punt.
I think it comes down to who I would want to carry through the GW28 blank, Kun or Kane. I would not want to punt on a striker in GW28.
If the answer is Kane (who I would prefer in GW29), and I rate him as a 4 point better option than Kaku, I sell Kaku, then buy back in GW28.
You'll still want Lukaku in 29 so it's not that easy. Either way it's 2 transfers for Kun and back out. The main difference is Lukaku(tot) vs Kane(EVE) and less money in your playing 11 in GW28.
Plus who you bring in GW28 if you kept Lukaku.
Haha, complicated. If I sell Kane, I'd probably want back in GW29, so I am probably saving the FT there anyway.
Also, if I keep Kaku and sell Kane this week, I will carry Kun through GW28 (I would not buy another striker), so would have less money available and be playing Kun in GW29 probably.
Kane vs S'ton at home against Kun vs Pool 😛
I like d to facilitate Aguero but like i said earlier depend how much you have tied up in Alonso, we know yur TV is good and the good thing about aguero is when you sell after potential DGW its easy to then get alonso back
Would get 6.5 for Alonso so only 0.2 difference.
0.3*
i like ibra and kanes chances this week, everton arent as solid away from home so adding aguero to that looks like the perfect addition
Could sell Brunt to Alonso later on so it's a tricky one.
Enough cash for Lukaku & Eriksen to Kun & Sterling? If not then Kane for me.
0.5 short. Should have sold Holebas over Amat last week in hindsight.
Then K & E. Hard to lose them for a home game after Sunday though...
Yeah, Mark has Eriksen so is another factor. Looks like a hits parade for the next few weeks.
Cheers all. Could all change tomorrow night.
I will only have Aguero for the potential DGW and that will be for a -4.
Big decision will be Sterling for the -8?
thought on aguero TC
It's a yes from me
I will probably do it.
Both in then back out for me.
Is Alli and Stanislas (or Phillips) to Sterling and Sane and ignoring Aguero crazy? Feel I need to sort my midfield out.
Don't fancy dropping Ibra, Costa, or Lukaku right now, with the aim of getting Kane after the blanks
Nope, could be golden. Captain choice might be tricky though.
Kun looks the real danger. If he'd have been meh v MON then yeah, out of sorts, maybe avoid... but he wasn't, looked back to his best once he'd got that 1st lucky goal.
Yeah I'm certainly a little worried with no Aguero, but do fancy Costa and Ibra to get points, Lukaku doesn't blank, while Stan
(and likely Phillips) are sat with a big 0! Sterling captaincy I would reckon
Am I the only one preferring Sand to Sterling? 🙂
Sané too lol
No, but one of few.
I've gone Sane and could afford either.
Watching the games and not the points he's looking more likely to do something and I think he's more likely to finish. Sterlings finish his still not great.
There's not a lot in it though but I fancied a differential.
Yep, exactly the same reasoning here. I'm not completely sold on Sterling's finishing, plus Sané seems to be Pep's teacher's pet.
Alli + Eriksen > Sane + Sterling for dgw?
-4
Would switch one out for a playing mid in gw28 then... good pla or just do one of them for no hit...
I'd have both if no plans to get Aguero.
Played the full 90 in the last 4 prem games, plus the Champions league game as well as a part in the FA cup, looks as nailed as can be in the City squad
Agreed, finally looks to have settled. Scored some stunning goals for Schalke last year. A great talent.
I can't see past the stats on this one - Sane with 5 goal attempts in 4 GWs.
It's not great admittedly but also factor in goals against Palace in the FA Cup and against Monaco.
Here's a direct comparison of Sterling and San in the past 4 GWs.

Opinions please:
Foster
Brunt Baines Valen Maguire
Alli Mane Phillips
Luk Costa Niasse
Jaku Chambers Stan Davies
A Costa --> Kun
B Costa, Luk --> Ibra, Kun (-4)
C D Costa, Stan --> Kun, Sterling (-4)
D Costa, Niasse, Mane --> Ibra, Kun Sterling (-8)
E Costa, Luk, Stan --> Ibra, Kun, Sterling (-8)
Best option please? I would look to bring Lukaku back in for 28
Definitely A, B is a gut.
A or c
Cheers,
I'll probably lean towards C but I'm wondering if Ibra is going to have a field day
Anyone thinking of a City defender for -4? Would only be able to afford Stones (for Holebas) which is a negative straight away along with his next 3 after the blank in 28. Not sure if its worth it. I'll be getting Kun & Sterling in anyway.
Nah not really, thinking of Caballero though - Stones probably needs to play both games to be worth it.
Ye Willy only nailed one, I've Grant already so wouldn't be looking there... Too much of a risk for the potential return.
I've gone back to Aguero more than once this season and been burned but something about going back to him one last time with the TC just feels right. If City win tomorrow and Kun doesn't play 90 it's locked in for me.
Exactly the same. Been burnt by him every single time this season but I'm hoping this may heal all.
Kun has to not play at all for me. I will then seriously consider TCing.
That is ideal but if he gets a goal and subbed off after 60 would you not still want to TC him?
No. His minutes would be too in jeopardy for me if that was the case. It's a 50/50 call as it is.
Anyone offer a reason to keep Stanislas ?
Perhaps losing 3 games straight since he stuck him on the bench might prompt Howe to give Stan another shot in the team?
That's one reason, another reason is an injury to another player - you might get lucky, who knows.
He is torally out of favour....
....desperate to get rid, but then bound to re-appear for 28 when I'm still short of players as it is.
The only reason I'd keep would be if he cant be turned into Sterling or Sane. If not, I'd hold and hope for 28.
I had kinda planned on using TC in GW34 and BB in GW37 - but are the TC options in GW34 likely to be limited? I guess it's between Chelsea or United for TC options that week?
If Arsenal beat Lincoln there's no DGW there for Sanchez, if United beat Chelsea there's no DGW there for Ibra. Is that correct?
Pretty much.
Plan is kane and alli to kun and sterling this week for a hit.
Then sterling and Phillips/ stan to siggy and chadli / king next week for a hit.
Then Kun back to kane gw29
Does that sound semi sensible?
Heaton pickford
Alonso Coleman brunt Pieters Robertson
Mane alli Phillips snoddy stanis
Kane ibra lukaku
Thanks
I wouldn't get chadli. WB fixtures turn terribl after GW28.
All this talk of Aguero TC
In the past how many points has TC chip earnt you and who did you choose?
Carroll....
Think it was 2 +1×3=9
The answer to this is either gonna be 25 (75) or 4 (12) either from Sanchez/Aguero or Lukaku/Carroll last year.
Yeah, BB in GW34 was just as good as the TC scores that week.
Kun's return when him and Sanchez went big.
Kun last year.
He got a hattie vs. Chelsea and a goal vs Newcastle.
78 pts total.
I think he provided 75% of all my points for that round.
25
X3
Lukaku GW33 .. a massive 12 pts
That was it, 33
Ugh, Kaku 31 I think, blankety-blank lol 😉 sigh...
Payet was a popular GW37 choice last season and he got 12 points x 3
Is there any chance Chelsea v Watford (the postponed gw28 game) could be played before the standard gw34 date? Would hate to lose Costa only to find out he gets a double announced soon after 28.
Neither team have any other distractions apart from the league so cant see why it wouldn't be 34.
Ok thanks mate
Guys, a lot of talk of selling Lukaku and then buying back. For those of us with both Lukaku and Kane, surely it's too risky to go down the selling Lukaku route? Or is Kane -4 better than Lukaku?
I would keep Lukaku through he blanks (and for Hull at home after), then plan on getting Kane in after
I think you are missing the point. I would buy Lukaku back for GW28.
I'm keeping both and Grabban>Kun, no Ibra. If I had to dump one then Kaku and get back 28. Hatty Kane is just too dangerous atm imho.
I have Kane/Lukaku - not shifting these for now, thankfully Costa is my flexible friend and will be out of the door tomorrow night if City win in the cup and Aguero is used sparingly/rested.
But if you had to sell one? I was all set on Kane, but it is worth the extra hit to sell Kaku instead?
Any transfer suggestions for my team. 2FT and 2.4m ITB. Planning on taking a ht or 2 this GW.
Valdes
Alonso, Brunt, Coleman, Evans
Hazard, Alli, Mane, *Phillips*
Lukaku, Ibrahimovic
Subs: Pickford, *Stanislas*, *Amat*, *Anichebe*
My Suggestions
GW27: Alli to Sterling, Lukaku to Aguero, Phillips to King (-4)
GW28: Aguero to Lukaku, Stanislas to Sigurdsson (-4)
GW29: Sterling to Snodgrass
Any additional thoughts much appreiated
Just do haz and Luk to Sterling an Kun for no hit
If City get the GGW:
Just Lukaku to Kun
or
Lukaku/Alonso/Philips to Kun/Mawson/Sterling for -8?
I am doing Costa/Phillips/Baines to Kun/Sterling/Mawson. Most will say just Kun though. I'll still have 9 for GW28 so I'm happy to go big for the DGW.
cheers Jay. Lots to think about!
Robles (Pickford)
Brunt, Baines, Alonso (Fabio, Kingsley)
Philips, Mane, Eriksen, De Bruyne (De Roon)
Lukaku, Costa, Defoe
1FT 2.9 ITB
A - Defoe & Alonso > Aguero & Stones
B - Defoe & Eriksen > Aguero & 6.5 max mid (Lanzini/Snoddy or Milner.. if so which?)
C - Something else?
Thanks in advance.
Is this the way to go depending on city double and possible Phillips injury
Phillips and Costa to Kun and Sterling for a hit.
Gives me
Grant
Baines Brunt Pva
Alli Sterling Siggy Hazard Mane
Crouch Aguero c
Lukaku Daniels Nyom Jak
27 - Kane to Aguero (Eriksen to Sterling - 4)
28 - Save
29 - Aguero to Kane (Stirling to Eriksen for free)
Heaton
Alonso / Baines / McAuley / Pieters
Eriksen / Firmino / Sigurðsson
Kane / Ibrahimovic / Lukaku
Jakupovic / Maguie / Phillips / T. Carroll
1ft, 1.9itb
Thoughts?
Quite like it, well set up for GW28 to save a transfer and have 9 to play.
Think this is the place of many - see my post below, thoughts?
Keen on keeping Kane and Eriksen, Kane with confidence, Eriksen due a goal with all his assists, Spurs back to their scoring best...which option?
1)
Kane + Eriksen > Aguero + Sterling
2)
Hazard + Kane > Aguero + KDB
3)
Only Eriksen > Sterling
Cheers!
Out of those options, number 1 looks the best imo
1 butmake plans to get them back gw29 onwards
Will do, would love to drop Lukaku this week but it seems rash given he plays GW28.
2 looks very tempting. I quite fancy De Bruyne. No one is talking about him.
Jaku(at Lei) or Foster(home to CRY) to start?
Foster probably? LEI looked back their basic best last night, don't fancy a cleanie so save points for Jak, hopefully.
Foster for definite
Who is the better option to go with Aguero TC if dgw for a 4 point hit?
A) Sane
B) Sterling
B then C for me.
Ah c, great option, who is he btw?
lol 😉
Sane has looked lively, although I'm staying off after I saw he's got 5 goal attempts in 4 GWs, just think the stats can't lie there.
ok so Lukaku unlikely to score away to a great Spurs side so what about this:
Lukaku >Aguero
Alli > £5.7M GW28 Starter
Gw28 Kun to Lukaku
Heaton
Alonso Coleman Valencia Brunt
Mane Eriksen Alli* Siggy
Lukaku* Ibra
Pickford Carroll Maguire Philip
That's for a hit this week but still worth it I think?
