The Numbers Game – Swansea City

G2G

Simply lovleh

Solid.
T.Carroll is the preferred 4.5m by most on here due to nailedness + some set pieces.
Would also go Kolasniac over Luiz due to him playing as a winger in 3-4-3.

Midfield is shocking

Sadly it's just more confirmation that 3 premium forwards just doesn't work. Weak defence. Horribly weak midfield. No Man City. I could go on...

It can be done, 8m on GKs the key

Elliot, £4m
Trippier, Bertrand, Lindelof, Dawson, £4m
KdB, Pogba, Fabregas, £4.5m, £4.5m
Lukaku, Lacazette, Jesus

That's what I'm on atm.

Cheers all, back to the drawing board it is....

Liked your mid!

Many ways to play the game. If the extra 2 defenders fail, you give many a free shot with their 2 attackers if the 3 other defenders are common.

Only viable and possibly successful with attacking wingbacks in 3atb systems, not ordinary attacking defenders eg Bertrand

I've been on it since the week of FPL launch.

I prefer to rotate some of my defenders, so I don't like 5-x-x formations

Definitely. The only concerns are flexibility and generating team value as defenders tend to rise in value more slowly than midfielders and strikers. Then again they also fall more slowly and at the stat of the season it is more important to avoid falls than jump on risers.

I think so. I've seen it done. I'm going for it this year

Been thinking about it as good prices for good defenders that could give u attacking returns but a lot don't like it so don't ask them to rate ur team

Don't think it would work but I'd go for

Alonso(?)-Kompany-Kolasinic-Bertrand-Daniels

I believe there is a big difference in going with attacking fullbacks, and true wingbacks playing in 3-4-3/3-5-2 systems. If you go with the latter, I think the formation is much more likely to succeed.

I think i like A best

C

No Trippier? I can understand no kane/alli of your adamant about the wembley affect
Maybe foster + valencia > de gea + trippier

You going to be playing 433? Nice team. Are you tempted by any 6 mil defenders? (Kompany/Kolasinac)?

My thoughts exactly. Safest way into that Utd defence and can change to a cheap keeper & nailed Utd defender further down the line when we have more info.

He won't get many save points. A 4.5 will

Absolutely my plan at the moment, too.

I'd say stay on Alli and Austin.

Alli + austin will outscore them imo

Looking good . Lose Rangel though for a lesser owned player.
Will drop in value when he's benched

Tadic?

Redmond but neither appeal to me. The lesser of two evils that one.

Redmond. Snodgrass has been quite abysmal since joining West Ham.

Snodgrass seems like a no go.

I'm leaning towards Salah

Alli

Coutinho for me

Alli

Nice, would want some stronger defenders on the bench though...

Noice , keep an eye on Austin though

One of the most balanced albeit standard teams I've seen. 7.5/10.

As template as I've seen it. Which could be a good thing or a bad thing. Best of luck.

Have you to 4.0's in your defence?

2 non-playing defenders is something i would not chance.

either Long or Rosenior should be upgraded to a starting player -- you didn't post
you itb, so i can't suggest how.

Not a fan of 2 4.0 def

Your bench is too expensive for me. Focus on your starting XI

Both.

Inadvisable would be my word of choice.

Stupid 🙂

Ballsy. But consider how many goals Southampton have, or have not, scored.

Not stupid , a little ballsy

Ballsy

Ballsy. Consider Gross or Fraser though maybe? I'm not too educated on each's potential

At least they're all in the same boat.

lol , yeah

Monreal. I am.

Bailly

Kolansinac imo.

Bailly if you want CS. Kolasinac if you want some fun with a wingback.

Maybe Kompany if he stays fit. Question is whether you want to take that risk. Luiz also good in the mid-term but Chelsea's opening fixtures are pretty mixed.

Kolasinac

Cheers all

I'd say Kolasinac. Was a beast for Schalke last season 3 goals 5 assists in 2000 minutes. He could equal many strikers (take Benteke for example, 136 points in 3100 minutes last season). Could prove excellent value at 6.0.

A

B

Hmm.. makes me wonder if I should go Salah over Coutinho.

I keep this in mind for sure. I will not touch Sanchez since his GW4 fixture is also a home game to Bournemouth squeezed between two tough away games.

Expand please.

Especially with Llorente injured, I'm sure he'll start as their striker. Been scoring in pre season off the back of an excellent season.

Buying bro.

Buying

Only buying after the deadline counts.

Buying. Always a scramble to buy the latest points scorer so bit of both mostly

It's a market-based game, and while performance usually impacts market behavior, a player's price only rises and falls based on buys and sells.

B - By some distance

Good price but wait and see with those fixtures

Not convinced he has an end product.

Trippier for good reason ( without Spurs buying an alternative)
Rangel for bad reason

Not a bad idea

I'd much prefer they didn't show it, gives too much away.

It should be available retrospectively at the start of each gw.

Nice. I'd monitor Ali. Erickson looks to have the better early form. Not so sure about Ayew. Lots of flexibility for 3rd striker at 7.5 and below. I've gone for rashford for now.

I like B a lot

To be fair, they both look bloody good on paper!

I've got somewhere in between them, closest to A, except Kompany, Kane & Molivojevic instead of Kolasinac, Alli & Zaha

How about A with Daniels in for Kola and Salah in for Zaha? Insane midfield..

4-3-3

Big bus.

4-1-3-1 or 4-1-2-1-2 or 4-1-2-3

433. The odd switch to 352.

4-1-4-1/4-2-3-1
