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.
Is triple city for -8 worth it over 2 GW .
So -4 To bring in Aguero, Sane, Sterling in GW27
Aguero and Sane out for -4 in GW28
Who do you sell/get for Aguero?
Lukaku to Aguero in 27 and then reverse back for 28
If Lukaku fails in 27 then you win.
even if he scores 1 goal it would be okay right?
And who goes for sane Hazard or Mane if i do decide to go triple city
Well most will keep him so each point hurts. One has a game in GW28 so need to factor that in plus who you want long term.
Yeah thats true, I was considering downgrading hazard to pedro in the future to help finance Sanchez and Kane in the long term but need to consider carefully all options. Triple city is just a consideration
Yes. Because DGWs are fun. Even more fun with no defenders in a small DGW and it's Man City.
who goes for sane Hazard or Mane if i do decide to go triple city
Hazard. Mane has that extra game
Yeah, take 8 mate, attack it hard.
who goes for sane Hazard or Mane if i do decide to go triple city
Hazard, bit meh away and Mane good at home?
Teams a bit of a mess
Jaku Heaton
Baines Coleman Brunt Jones chambers
Stanislas Phillips Erickson Mane siggy
Ibra lukaku Crouch
1FT 4.5 ITB
What to do? Reckon Jones to Mawson then Phillips to KDB for a hit is a good shout?
Not sure KDB is the Man City cover you want.
How do I fit aguero in?
He's only little, it shouldn't be too hard.
Could sell Lukaku/Ibra. If Lukaku, buy back in 28.
Sterling over KDB
Huddersfield are gonna win anyway so all this about TC and getting city players in doesn't matter
Away at City... not a chance
Bought Defoe for £7.5m is he going to fall for me tonight (if he falls)
well it depends, did you buy him flowers?
Only the finest roses!
yes.
ty
Yep, if he falls yer SP is erm... 7.6, might do, both stats & fix tip him over. But these are estimates only.
Feeling the pressure. 1st time in top 20k thanks to this site.
Grant Pickford
Azpilicueta Coleman brunt holebas Amat
Mané Phillips Sigurdsson alli de room
Ibrahimovic Kane Kaku
2.5 ITB / 2 FT
A) Alli / Kane > sterling / kun
B) Alli / Kane / Phillips > sterling / kun / snograss or Barkley
C) Also thinking about losing azpi for maybe a hull defender.
Which would meani I would keep Alli & lose Phillips instead. Just concerned about my lack of players for 28. Currently on 5. Also losing .8 by selling Alli/Kane seems risky with the fixtures they have coming.
If you listen to Mark (or is it Jonty), if you have Kaku, Mane, Siggy, Coleman, and Brunt, everyone else is likely 2 pointers. Maybe get Snoddy and King next week and 7 is solid. Do A.
Cheers. I was over thinking it.
1) T.Carrol, Kane +
A) Sterling
B) Siggy
C) Pedro
2) Llorente + 2 mids of
A) Eriksen
B) Siggy
C) Sterling
D) Pedro
Need only one combo, so either something like "1B" or like "2BC".
Thanks
Will you be playing T. Carroll each week?
He would be 5th mid, so prolly not each week.
2BC
but can you get Kun?
If I got Kun with other transfers I plan (not all this GW), I would have 11m for 2 mids and would already have Sanchez, Alli and Morrison. That's not much, but maybe T.Carrol + Lanzini would be decent choice.
Also, I could sell Alli, then buy Siggy, Sterling and T.Carrol.
So many choices.
Planned transfer once/if DWG is confirmed:
Benteke + Hazard + Amat to Aguero + Sterling + Mawson (-4)
Is there a chance that Mawson rises tonight?
I'll take that as a maybe and make the transfer, finally getting rid of Amat 🙂
Thoughts on the following Transfers then assuming a City DGW.
GW27: Alli to Sterling, Lukaku to Aguero, Hazard/Mane to Sane (-4)
GW28: Aguero to Lukaku, Sane to Sigurdsson (-4)
I'd go for it.
How is it -4for both?
Good evening all, similar question to many I'm sure but in the event of the DGW happening, what do you reckon on these options....
A.
GW27 Costa & Alli > Aguero & Sterling -4
GW28 Sterling & Phillips > King & Coutinho -4
B.
GW27 Costa > Aguero
GW28 Alli & Phillips > King & Coutinho -4
C.
GW27 Costa & Alli > Aguero & Coutinho -4
GW28 Phillips > King
Tough between A & B but maybe A just.
I'm mulling over Alli ➡️ Sterling for a -4 too it's just such a tough call as there's every chance Alli could bag a brace at home vs Everton.
Heaton / Pickford
Alonso / Coleman / Nyom / Pieters / Amat
Mane / Alli / Siggy / Phillips / Clayton
Costa / Lukaku / Carroll
4.8 ITB / 0 FT
Is this crazy? Costa/Alli/Phillips --> Kun/Sterling/Silva or Sane. Of course that is if City wins the match tonight.
Not crazy at all mate.
As ever, the 4th FPL midfielder remains a frustrating minefield.
If Phillips drops, he officially becomes my worst transfer of the season, nudging Gundogan and Emre Can into 2nd and turd.
It really is a minefield mate. I'm hoping WHU can improve and Snoddy/Lanzini could become an option.
or Ayew
if he nails down a place, he's a bit pricier though I think...
Worse thing about him is the uncertainty, we need a firm answer either way, hopefully by tomorrow night. As him ruled out opens up all sorts of other possible hits for next week.
yeah for sure. If he's ruled out I will go -8 instead of -4 (after no hits in 11 GWs)
Evening all.
Heaton, Robinson
Alonso, Coleman, Brunt, A.Smith, Chambers
Mané, Alli, Sigurdsson, Barkley, Phillips
Ibrahimović, Lukaku, Carroll
1FT
£1.7m ITB
If City get the DGW...
A) Alli ➡️ Sterling
B) Ibra ➡️ Agüero
C) Alli & Ibra ➡️ Sterling & Agüero (-4)
D) Something else
E) Nothing
Tricky selling Ibra this week.
Who should I bring in for Phillips before he drops?
9.1 to go crazy with.
No one (yet), let him drop.
Take the drop will find out phillips scan result tomorrow. And see if city can beat huddersfield
Stay, Pedro!
Chelsea blank in 28.
From gw29/30 the ideal front 3, for me is; Ibrahimovic, Kane, Gabbiadini.
That's Ibra and Gab in with decent fixtures plus a double that could come anytime and Kane with great fixtures. Kane also an easy switch to Costa if he gets the dgw34.
What's your ideal front 3 from 29/30?
Same but with a brief return for Lukaku 31-33
3-5-2 planned Jay, Kane & Kaku until Kaku has te go for a DGW'er.
I hope players calm down on bringing in Gabbiadini as his price could skyrocket...looking like a great third striker option!
Phillips dropped
Ah! Time for bed. Lost 0.2 SV on the little ...
Points + info over TV at this stage tho.
He's a nuisance. Night mate
Can anyone give me a compelling argument to TC Aguero other the good fixtures and future DGW uncertainity
You either feel it or you don't.
Captain is enough for me.
I think he's nailed and returning to form, frightening prospect.
But if you triple captain you're Essentially getting 6 games out of him in one gameweek.
haha what more do you need (back to a little bit of form too with his brace v MON)!
I just spoke with Sergio and he said he is ready to explode with goals.
So why won't you TC him then?
Price Changes - 1st March 2017
🔼 Pedro
🔽 Giroud, Origi, Defoe, Phillips
Phillips 🙁
Let's hope he will be ok for 28 and then we can ship him out!
in saying that, doubt he will do much away to EVE anyway but 2points is 2points haha
Expect that miserable Fedolan fella moaning & groaning about him tomorrow... make his day lol
Lol, I don't care too much about team value except if it affects my plans for the next 1-2 weeks. Just look down, every other post is a Phillips post.
You know what will happen, minor strain, back CPL, lol You will have him all season mate lol 😉
2 more weeks man. Need to hold steady.
Cheers. Little disappointed T.Carroll didn't rise, would have priced me out of one of the two options driving me mad.
He is close- maybe tomorrow
Pedro 🙁
Cheers TM. Lost Phillips on WC last week
Our seasons have gone on different paths recently.
Like Ole Faithful... every nite after the price change - thanks TM
Right so I need to find out about Phillips' availability before he either drops again or before Sterling rises... could be tight
It's fine. Next price change will be about 4 hours after the City Huddersfield game.
Hopefully not, doubt we know about Phillips til WBA's presser
So as not to absorb a Defoe fall, I pulled the trigger on Alli to Sterling and Defoe to Kun tonight. Need a big ole couch tomorrow....
Couple of 20' cameos, no injuries lol gl
Just did Defoe to Kun a while go, I expect Nacho to start tonight.
I hope so... or maybe 45 minutes from Kun and out after a 3 goal lead
Fresh new Sane owner here. Swapped out Phillips a few mins before he dropped. I like the feel of this. 😎 (Had to jump on it a day earlier than I wanted as other potential move price-dependent and didn't want to risk Phillips going down.)
Looks a quality asset in a very attacking side.
Yeah. Seems dangerous enough to go all in right now at 7.5 - Likely will nab Aguero as well. Maybe even Sterling for the triple up if it's DGW time, which I suspect it will be.
Wish I could have moved Phillips but needed more funds for Defoe to Kun
I still have enough in bank to do Lukaku to Kun for a hit, which I'm thinking will most likely happen.
How many points Aguero must score to justify TC?
I think 15 points minimum, which is 45 points.
Likely have the other big TC's as cap anyway down the line so the more the better lol
Would want 20 tbh.
Say Phillips is ruled out for a lengthy period...
A) Bench him, play Coleman (tot), worry about him in 28
B) Sell him -4 for Allen (means benching Coleman)
C) Sell him -4 for Mid that plays 27 and 28 (5.6 max, means benching Coleman)
D) Just let him rot on bench
* He's my 8th attacker but Antonio is suspended this week. Currently have 9 men for 28 inc. Phillips
Get shot if his hammy is a tear and out for weeks. B DGW.
Similar spot for me. Probably C or A.
C (get King or Snoddy)
I'd play Coleman over him even if he were fit.
im in the same rut i have contemplated to do -4 and take out stand and philips for sterling and t.carroll. but only to do after the FA cup replay tonight.
Does anyone have a link to the guy on twitter who leaked the Phillips injury before the team news was revealed?
I've just read this comment from a WBA fan on reddit and wanted to verify it:
"Apparently Phillips told a guy in the car park before the game on Saturday that he's hopeful he'll be okay for this weekend. It's the same guy that revealed he was out last week before the team sheets were released so I believe him. Just hope Phillips isn't underestimating it."
Nice one, cheers!
Does Pulis know his player is not keeping his mouth shut when in the car park?
Forget the Man City DGW, I'm wildcarding if Phillips is out this week. Only 12 weeks left in the season and can't afford to carry chokers like him.
Funny how a 8 days ago we were all dissing Kun@12.7, yet after MON and DGWGate we are thinking... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57ajn-NXtdc ey? hic! Me too btw, from zero te TC in 8 days lol 😉
A week is a long time in football as they say...
The real timeline from nah to TC was Jesus crocked, his assist, MON and DGW announced, these sites lit up lol 😉
...and yet all the reasons to be wary of Aguero/City are still there. 😕
You not going for it mate?
I'm not keen. I will get enough City to protect myself and get rid of them as soon as possible afterwards. I haven't decided yet whether that means one or two City players.
How many people here bringing in Aguero if DGW confirmed..
Who are you replacing him with then?
My 3 options are-
Kane 10.9m- 11.3m
Lukaku 9.6m-10.0m
Ibra 11.3m- 11.5m
Prob Lukaku for me... and then buy back right away..
3.4m in account..
Same here. Lukaku will be out.
Probably Rondon to Aguero and either Firmino or Eriksen to Fraser who has nice fixtures in 28 and 29.
GTG?
Foster
Alonso, Walker, Brunt
Barkley Firmino, Siggy, Sane, Sterling
Ibra, Kun(C)
Jaku funes mori, Amat, Niasse
Stop bragging!
SAS good, not TC'ing Kun mate?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGssYCWIV74
yes, if double then I am tripling.
went -4 for this but am excited for this potential, was up to 26,000 but now down past 200,000. So really hoping to climb up the rankings.
You bring in Kun?
Yeah, SAS = Sane Aguero Sterling mate, TC is 10 effective citeh front 3 v sun & STO LOL, even Scoutcast twigged & laughed. 😉
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbEJW99_kZA hic!
Best of luck to you then. Green arrows mate!
I am having a nightmare... What would you do with this team?
Heaton l Pickford
Cahill l Alonso l Baines l Robertson l Friend*
Mane l Antonio* l Siggy l Philips* l De Roon
Kane l Lukaku l Ibra
1FT / 1.6ITB
I cam down to 2 options :
A) Just Kane --> Aguero
B) Antonio + Phillips + Kane --> Sane + King + Aguero (-8pts)
C) Anything other suggestion?
Do you want to attack DGW or not?
Phillips alternatives 5.6m for GW 27/28?
Aguero in for Lukaku already (probably)
how much you have in bank?
See my post on the next page
I like Grosicki and Markovic, personally.
I got Markovic so was gutted about the knock, hopefully back against Leicester
Triple Captain Sterling because....
Man City will have the strongest DGW fixtures
Sterling is much more nailed than Aguero
In fine form & good stats
gl bud.
