Our post-Gameweek members article is served up this Wednesday lunchtime as we assess some of the stand-out performers over the previous round of fixtures.
Harry Kane, Roberto Firmino and Harry Maguire all catch the eye, and with double Gameweeks predominant in our planning, we also take time out to analyse Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough assets ahead of their pair of upcoming matches.
Townsend
Heaton, Jakupovic
Valencia, Davies, Robertson, Stephens, Wilson
Sanchez, Alli, Sigurdsson, King, Carroll
Aguero, Kane, Lukaku
1FT, 0.2 in bank
A) Sigurdsson --> Zaha
B) Wilson --> Chambers
C) Both (-4)
b
Took a -8 to do:
Britos > Rojo
Siggy > Zaha
Barnes > Negredo
Good moves yes or no?
-----------Jaku
--Walker Alonso Rojo
Sanchez Alli Coutinho Zaha
--Kane Lukaku Negredo
Foster T.Carroll Yoshida Holgate
siggy could punish you. (-8) for this gw seems a little much for my liking 🙂
Cheers. I agree about Siggy, everytime I transfer him out he seems to go on a streak. The other two were useless
Looks like they are sound moves, yes. There is some exploit of the DGW and reasonable transfers but Siggy will always be a risk to let go, and personally i would´nt done that single transfer, but as a whole (your option on bench included) i think it looks good-). Bear in mind that Walker might be a rotation risk vs Palace so bench order could be something you should do with care this week-) Holgate before Yoshi, maybe?
Nice one thanks 🙂
Hello guys. Accidentally posted this to old post. What would you do with this lot? Wildcarding on GW36 so transfers will be only for GW's 34/35.
Heaton
Robertson, Holgate, Alonso
Hazard, Sigurdsson, Alli, Zaha
Lukaku, Aguero, Kane
Subs: Foster --- Brunt, Yoshida, Clayton --- 1 FT, 1.0 ITB
A) Brunt -> Bailly
B) Aguero -> Ibrahimovic
C) Aguero and Brunt -> Ibra and Bailly (-4)
D) Something else, what?
A seems like a good move!
a
Cheers. Do you think it is ok to go without Ibrahimovic considering I'm trying to close down 25 point deficit to top 1k?
If thats your goal I´d defo take a hit to get Ibra in. If he screws it you loose 4 points, if he scores big you are done and out-). Bailly is good-)
Thank you. I think the biggest decision is whether I do Aguero -> Ibra or not.
Most handsome Italian player of all time? For me it's Pirlo
(No homophobic comments please)
Claudia Cardinale 😉
Good call old man. Where have you been recently? Hope the season is going well for you
Been around, not as much as I used to though. Been stuck in the 40K's for about six weeks now. Hope you are having a good one 🙂
That's a pretty good rank. Despite what people around here say anything inside top 100k is good in my book
Claudio Ranieri. Of course.
Popular in certain parts of England I believe 😉
Zambrotta
Has a boyish appeal for sure
Behave yourself
Paolo Maldini by a country mile
Don't shoot me Nidge 😉 you have good taste
🙂
Those eyes
Or Fr. Romeo Sensini of course
https://goo.gl/images/EGp2DY
Retro credit for you Red
Paolo Maldini and Roberto Baggio.
Maldini for sure. Baggio has caused me too much pain as a footballer to win my affections!
Inzaghi, the choir boy?
Controversial!
Not to mention Buffon when he sings the national anthem, that´s epic!
Cannavaro, Maldini, Sirigu
Good taste
Christian Pannuci's teutonic, never-a-hair-out-of-place, stiff upper lipped arrogant visage?
Lol. You make a good case
Thats the one i was thinking about, thanks for the reminder-) Hilarious
Foster to DDG -4 worth it?
Would play Jaku (WAT) if didn't make the trade.
Just watched the Scoutcast. Think it's the best once I have ever seen - great blend of stats, fear, coverage, SGW vs DGW, team bashing and 4 managers with very different orientations for the upcoming week.
Well done, and thank you.
Hear hear
indeed - only made me more confused...still no wiser on whether to bring in ibra or kane!!
Play Siggy or King?
King
Siggy
Negredos numbers in this article 😯
Benched him against Arsenal 🙁
On paper it was the right move.
Im hearing Barragan is unlikely to start, thought he did ok the other night against Arsenal so put him straight in now i'm having doubts......thoughts
There's a great hot topic on this.
Indeed dont think im the only one with this dilema
take a look at Arsenals second goal and try to find what is wrong there-) or should I say who is not where he should be and where is he?
we can all read/listen to Gary Neville harp on about that but he was making the run for Traore that lost the ball which he should have passed, IMO generally he was a good outlet. He would be better placed as a wing back than chambers - Ayala OUT
I agree with you to a certain extent, he was caught out by Traore´s loosing the ball, but what I think Agnew saw which he won´t be so fond of is how desinterested/sloppy Barragans reaction to it was. You should at least try to run home, but he doesn´t even try, and if there is one single thing managers don´t appreciate it is lack of trying/no commitment from their players. And he was ok ish overall so it doesn´t need to be an issue at all. I wasn´t aware of Nevilles comment, my source was from norwegian broadcasting-). Neville is hapless, did´nt like him as a player and nor as a pundit and his managerial outings is at best forgettable-)
Negredo or Rashford?
Zaha or Townsend?
I've gone Negredo & Zaha, but all are great options imo.
+1
I'm going Townsend and Negredo
Really want to throw Rashford in, but already have Ibra and worried about minutes!
Sanchez, Tekkers, Kane or Lukaku for the armband?
Lukaku
There is no stopping Kane right now.
Llorente -> Negredo FT ?
Do you have Siggy?
yes
I'd roll the dice mate.
Have just Valencia & Tekkers for the DGW, think I'm going to have to go without Ibra, in terms of importance to bring in how would you rank to following:
1) Gibson
2) Bailly
3) Rojo
4) Townsend
5) Zaha
😆
I'd say the order you posted with your current cover
23541
If you had no DGWers, what who would your priority be??
Negredo for easy fixtures + Boro fighting for their lives + he just scored vs. Arsenal
in my view; Negredo, Gibson, Zaha, Bailly, Rojo
Ibra situation has confused things - leaving him out (happily)
By position
1 DDG
2 Hennessey
1 Chambers
2 Bailly
1 Zaha
2 Townsend
1 Ibra
2 Negredo
It's just Ibras ownership is scaring me, but bur mcy isn't exactly an easy combo
Aye, its more a covering thing for Ibra tbh. If he scores 2+ you're up against it.
Gibson ahead of Chambers I think. Baps monster and 100% nailed (I'd say Chambers is about 95% as he just came back from injury ... )
Aye, you could be right.
Off topic, but it was great to see Sergio win the masters. He has tried so hard for so long. A lesson in resilience for me and not ever giving up.
you on a dial up? 😉
Ha ha rusty. Delayed reactions for sure!
What do we think of this for -4, with AAA?
Pickford
Lovren, Walker
Alli, Eriksen, Sanchez, Zaha, King
Zlatan, Lukaku, Negredo
(Grant, Mee, Maguire, Stones)
Nice
but beware of Walker, he might get rotated. Maguire in front of Mee in case of Walker no show, maybe?
Which one:
1. Grant to Valdes (if fit)
2. Grant to Hennessey and Robertson to Barragan -4 (would have to play him over Alonso)
Neither are great really. Can you get just Hen in?
Yep can get Hen
The big Q. Have you a WC left to play?
If you do then valdes if fit a good option.
If you don't you must remember that valdes is spent after 34.
Look at the clean sheet stats I posted below.
I would recommend DDG Bravo lloris or you could gamble on the cheaper Schmeichel.
Thanks. I will have a look. Its for DGW only
A) Origi to Negredo
B) Bernardo to Chambers
C) Vert and Wally to Chambers and Son (-4)
anyone here hav ibra and not captain him ?
and who do u put armband with ?
Yeh, thinking Lukaku
How is this for defensive stats. Clean sheets only in last 10 games. Look who are bottom.
Mun 6, Tot 5, Mci 5, Eve 4, Sou 4, Cry 4, Mid 3, Bur 3, Stk 3, Wat 3, Sun 3, Ars 2, Liv 2, Lei 2, Wba 2, Bou 2, Swa 2, Whu 1, Hul 1, Che 0.
Davies 5 Fuchs 2 Brunt 2 Olsson 2 Alonso 0
TOT = 11
Man City & Man Utd have surprised in equal measure.
Bravo may be the safest way into the City B4 but Doubling up on Man Utd could also reward.
Thoughts
Nice. Cheers
0.3ITB and willing to take a hit. What's my next move?
Jaku
Gibson Alonso Valencia
Eriksen Alli Siggy King
Ibra(vc) Lukaku(c) Kun
Foster / T.Carroll / Yoshida / Amat
Siggy -> Zaha
Cheers. Do you think it's worth the -4?
Yeah I do.
Thx
The obvious^^^
My vote too. But the obvious is not always the best as everyone who plays this game only knows too well.
Not sure but seeing Amat reminded me of how good it felt to get rid of that non contributing zero last GW after having him hang around for so long in my squad.
Yeh, he's properly annoying
I was 1.7m after GW18, now I am just under 100k, is it good enough to say in last 15 GWs I played well at least?..
Defo, and keep on going
Thanx..
Of course that is serious progress.
Thanx.. The reason is I ask this because I play hybrid style of Jonty of old - no hits, ownership. And this season's Jonty - with lots of hits. - and by playing that style I made this progress.. So is it good enough or should I tweek my style?..
Score predictions?
Barcelona vs Juventus
Monaco vs Dortmund
2-1
3-2
2-1
2-2
1-1
2-2
Big decision to make on Ibra.
At the mo, I'm looking at either:
A) Sanchez and Origi > Zaha and Ibra for -4
B) Origi > Negredo
Wildcard still in tact so will be bringing Sanchez back in for GW36. Thoughts? Too risky going in without Ibra?
B
No wildcard left | 0.0ITB | 2FT
Planning for GW 37
Jaku grant*
Holgate yoshida chambers Walker Valencia
Coutinho alli eriksen Sanchez siggy*
Barnes lukaku ibra
Can't see any other transfers except the starred players.
Grant to Pickford for cash and a double or siggy to someone or both
Any ideas? Cheers
Do you think that the following players are going to be SGWers or DGWers for 34
De Roon
Valencia
and if you think that they are going to be SGWers are you
Playing
Keeping
Selling for another DGWer
Any ideas would be welcomed
Double, both. Keeping regardless.
De Roon DGWer but even so I wouldn't hesitate to bench him for a SGWer with a good fixture (King, Siggy, Son, etc). Don't own him.
Valencia SGWer. Keeping and playing.
Seems Bayern fans clashed with Madrid Police last night, the same as Leicester fans did. Is it the Madrid police or fans that are to blame?
Last night's match at the Bernabeu was treated as "high risk" and 1800 police deployed with batons and face masks.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/bayern-munich-fans-clash-police-10252316
http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/world-news/leicester-city-fans-clash-with-spanish-police-ahead-of-atletico-madrid-tie-35618326.html
A bit unusual and excessive force if you ask me.
I wouldn't consider any number of police in the circumstances excessive.
A lot of kids and decent folk would have been at the game along with tourists visiting so any effort to protect them from walking mobs is very welcome.
A fee tanks might not go astray either.
I have no time for hooliganism and would not describe any effort at policing that excessive no matter how many police deployed.
Lets not distract from why the police were there.
Hooliganism thugs whichever takes you fancy are not welcome by me in any walk of life.
Is there any proof that Bayern fans were behaving bad enough to be beaten up?
I agree with your point about protecting others from hooliganism, but beating fans is a little unusual. Breaking up fights I understand.
This was at half time. When the score was 0-0 and before all the contentious decisions.
A) Maguire > Rojo (-4) Can't afford Bailley and have Valencia.
B) Maguire > PVA (-4)
Will be doing Robles > Hennessey with my FT.
Are you sure Pva will start both? I know Schlupp had a terrible game against Vardy, but still.
I think Palace need him more than anything right now. If he's fit, he's starting. Can't see them not giving him at least 1 full game, I think it will be the Liv game and it just feels like a tight match. Palace doing well against the bigger sides (Chelsea, Arsenal shutout). There's a lot to like.
I also LOVE Maguire, so this is really hard...
I don't see Maguire outscoring PvA till the end of the season anyway, so go for it.
I kinda like Maguire's chances at home. But if you really want, I would think A would be a better option. Man utd has been resilient at the back and palace having tough fixtures. Wouldn't rely solely on PVA's attacking threat.
Thanks - I'm hating having to get rid of Maguire but DGW you have to think either of those will outscore him. Also looking at GW35, Man Utd have Swansea, Palace have Burnley. Still Utd??
A looks good
Which will you do:
A. Walker out for Bailly
B. Carroll out for Negredo
C. Both for -4
B
I would find someone else out if I could for bailly or rojo if can not afford.
7 years, 20 days agoOrigi Sanchez > Kane/Ibra + which mid? 6.3/4 ITB
A King
B Zaha
C Townsend
D someone else
Cheers 🙂
