It’s time for our regular post-Gameweek members’ article as we assess some of the standout statistics from the previous ten matches.
A handful of mid-price wide men from Watford, West Ham and Southampton catch the eye, while Spurs and Liverpool’s left-backs chalk up some impressive figures.
Chelsea and Newcastle United’s new strikers also come under analysis as we assess their early impacts in the top flight.
Anyone disappointed that Rooney has retired from international football? He's certainly started the season well, but think the timing is probably right now, plus he wouldn't be the talisman of the team anymore with Kane obviously first choice.
At least it's good news for Everton
Glad for the toffees sake
Not in the least bit disappointed. He should have retired a couple of seasons ago.
Nope, since he burst onto the scene he has been pretty useless for England. I know pretty much all of the players have but his first touch and movement at times was horrendous. No amount of goals in the qualifiers will change my mind
Still would have been a decent bench option for England. I could think of worse players to bring on if chasing a game.
Yes the opposition are.
Is Firmino worth the extra 1.4m over Chicharito?
Probably
Quite possibly not (currently have firmino) would have to score about 40 more points to justify higher price, think hernandez *could* be a season keeper, if not another 7m or less striker pretty likely to emerge...
On pens so probably
I'm not a fan, would rather have Mane for Liverpool cover
In general yes
But now it looks like Firmino might play on the wing some games, and remember last season when he was on the wing he didn't produce
Only with no Pool cover.
Mane Chica or Firmino Antonio
I don't believe in cover.
Depends on how many goals and assists you think each one will accrue over the course of the season. If you think Firmino will score 20% more points that Chicharito, then he's worth it.
I'm looking at the next 5-7 gameweeks and Chicha has better fixtures and less likely to be rotated as he has no CL.
I think Antonio and Firmino will score more points than salah and Chica.
That's the way I'm looking at it.
Yup that could be possible.
I'm thinking of doubling up on Antonio & Chicha after IT break for Salah & Mounie.
Maybe the question should be is here worth the 0.5/1.0 less than Salah and Mane? Thats how I see him
he*
Why?
It's Chicha + 1.4m vs Firmino.
I assume most have Firmino as a way into LIV attack mostly as a 3rd striker too. Otherwise yes most ppl are flocking to Chic. Dont think many have Firmino and Mane/Salah
yes he has a good record vs arsenal infact scored a brace last match vs them. keep firminho he will definitely geta goal in this high goal scoring encounter..cheers
If he's not injured and if Aurier does not sign Im getting Trippier for Daniels for a hit and going with this squad for gw3:
De gea
Danilo Trippier Cedric
Pogba Eriksen Willian Salah RLC
Lukaku Kane (c)
What do you think ?
Whats your bench like?
4,0, 4.5, 4.0, 4.0 😀
But going to wildcard after gw3
Aurier wort 50 mil if Walker is.
Is it cur price 20 mil because he is barred from entering the UK\
?
No, it is because PSG wants to get rid of him
Not sure about Willian, Everton are not likely to concede a hatfull of chances and he didn't impress me too much on Sunday.
Who to play this week
A) Chalobah (BHA home)
B) RLC (SWA home)
C) Lowe (SOU home)
B imo
Tough one. B just
I'm playing RLC, he's looked good both games so far
B I think. Circumstances have forced me to pick between Atsu (WHU) and Carroll (cpl)...
They're all reasonable options, B probably
Anyone keeping their FT this week? This season I will try to take less unnecessary hits to catch price rises. Anyone with me?
Yup
Yes, and I have KDB
Give him some time, he will explode.
Yep think I'll save - despite having KDB and Salah, want a little more data before making knee jerk changes
Same here. Most of my players are due to fall, but I will stick to my plan to have 2 FT next international week and keep the FT too.
Trying to...
Need to play 2 out of Clark (WHM), Loftus-Cheek (SWA), Carroll (cry) and JWP (hud/bench).
Reckon that is alright?
Still ok tbh, RLC looks good during Liv match!
Yep! 2 fts over break could work great
Its a marathon, remember that.
Yeah, but you want players that are on the rise. At the same time your team is on the fall.
So if you act faster this 0.1 mil that you will need will be right there right now.
De Gea
Dawson Kompany Bertrand
Willian Mkhitaryan RLC Eriksen
Jesus Lukaku Firmino
Elliot Kolasanic Carroll Long
Should I get rid of Kolasanic, Willian or Jesus?
Your team looks good tbh.
Impressive team, would maybe consider getting in Ben Davies for Kolasinac but could also save the FT
Cheers. What would you do? Also isn't Rose back soon?
Talk about Aurier but as far as I know he is not allowed in the UK
I honestly don't think he'd be first choice anyway
😆
It's not about ability, it's about him more than anything
He will be first choice, he is a beast. And about that legal issue, you honestly think football clubs in England are not powerfull eneough to solve that minor issue?
I know how good he is, he's better than Trippier but the fact remains he wouldn't just auto become a starter. And personality wise, let's just say he's a contentious figure. Already seen quite a few Spurs fan LGBT groups up in arms about signing him
Exactly.
Is this team worth wildcarding? Only got 32 points last round and If not wildcarding I'm thinking of just doing PvA to Jones and Ritchie to Richarilson
Forster (Elliot)
PvA - Bertrand - Ake (Suttner - Rosenior)
KDB - Willian - Ramsey - Ritchie (Carroll)
Kane - Kaku - Firmino
Take a 4 points hit getting rid of ritchie and Ake (richarlison and Jones ? ) ?
Keep Ritchie he has some really good fixtures.
I have PvA as well. He's just shy of dropping in value, but he could come in good against Swansea...
Not really sure who to replace him with either.
Jones a slight doubt
wc week ( I know too early...)
Foster (Elliot)
Davies Cedric Mee/Lowe (Mbemba)
Salah Pogba richarlison Eriksen (Carroll)
Lukaku Kane Chicharito
any comments/suggestion more than welcome 🙂
I would love Alonso in there but dont know how to fit him in 🙁
Thanks in advance 🙂
Go without Chicha or Richarlison for Alonso
thanks, I could go Loftus cheek but then it means i have 2x4.5 midfielders, would that not be too weak ?
RLC and Chalobah have really impressed me actually both been close to points
thanks so much for taking the time to answer really useful info ! 🙂
Is Fraser to Mooey a wise move?
Danilo -> Trippier or save?
Danilo will start this week. Save.
Just had to pull the trigger on my moves for this week. Gutting to miss out on Eriksen's rise last night and Iwobi sneakily fell for a second time but couldn't stand to see him rotting away for another minute in my team - awful punt.
Hope the value lost doesn't come back to bite me.
Ouch, unlucky punt but shouldn't have kept him this long
Zaha was the priority GW1 and was waiting until later in the week this time around before making the moves as I didn't want to get burned by an injury in training or something similar.
Glad to have him gone, only really a .2M swing that could have been avoided (difference between Tripper and Davies for example) so hopefully it doesn't prove to be a fatal error.
I wildcarded after the first gameweek, had about 6 players dropping in value and just went for it. Looks like we had a similar team of punts that pretty much all backfired.
Re the value of course it's easier with the money as the pricier players tend to get more points but its not always the case, so wouldn't worry too much. Hell the guys top of my mini leagues all have like 1m or 0.5 itb
Ouch
You obviously hate both of them, but which of these rebellious wildcards would you rather be stuck with on a desert island?
A)
Foster
Alonso, Trippier, David Luiz, Davies, Moses
Mikhitaryan, Eriksen, Salah
Lukaku, Firmino
(Elliot, Calvert, Loftus, Chalobah)
0.5 in bank
B)
Elliot
Trippier, Alonso, Moses, Davies
Mane, Mikhitaryan, Eriksen, Pogba, Salah
Jesus
(Myhill, Quaner, McBurnie, Mbemba)
0.1 in bank
As a gay seagull I'd be delighted to be stuck on a desert island with either of those teams. 🙂
a
A but tough
Mind commenting on mine slightly below?
Does Jese take any set pieces for Stoke?
his numbers aren't that impressive from previous seasons. Was it just a one off against Arsenal?
He's a great player, watched him at Real Madrid quite a bit.
It's hard to tell - i remember another Stoke mid who scored on his debut and fell off... was it Imbula or someone.
Pogba or Micky has got last season's Alli & Eriksen selection written all over it.
Dunno about that. Pogba is playing in the double pivot, not CAM and Micky isn't on set pieces.
Using my WC this week, what do we think of this:
Foster (Elliott)
Alonso, Trippier, Davies, (Mbemba, Long)
Mkhitaryan, Pogba, Eriksen, Richarlison (Loftus-Cheek)
Lukaku, Jesus, Chicharito
Colback looks like he'll drop to 4.4 so might swap RLC with him. I'll then have 0.8ITB so plan is to sell Davies at 0.1 profit and get Mendy when he's back. Thoughts?
*Mendy also looks likely to drop to 6.4
Is FFs membership 12.50 a season or a month?
season
Have a word. Season of course.
Not that Im tight or anything but is there like any sample/try before you buy sort of thing? A lot of the time I would be on my phone and curious how the tools/extras are on iphone etc
Is it possible you might be a bit tight?
lol
1m itb, save FT?
DDG
Yosh • Bavies • Monreal
Erik • Mkhi • Fraser • RLC
Kane(C) • Kaku • Firmino
Elliot • Stephens • Carroll • Long
yep
A)
--------------- Elliot -------------------
Trippier - Davies - Alonso - Cedric
------ Mkhi - Pogba - Jese -----------
----- Lukaku - Kane - Morata --------
B)
-------------Elliot----------------------
Cedric------Davies-----Alonso----
Mkhi---Pogba--Jese--Richarlison
Kane-------Morata------Lukaku
C)
------------Foster---------------------
------Davies--Alonso--Cedric-------
Erisken--Pogba--Mkhi--Jese--Richarlison *(can out Trippier instead)
------Morata-----Lukaku-------------
C gives me a much better bench
I always like a big defense, so I'd probably go with A.
Should i do Lacazette to Kane for free?
I fancy him to score against Liverpool.
Rest of team:
Elliot
Alonso, Dawson, Yoshida
Alli, Salah, Ritchie, TC
Lukaku, Chica, Lacazette
Speroni, Atsu, Mee, Long
yes
Have you seen Arsenal matches after Liv...I know arsenal aint of same class as Manchester cubs and chelsea but still expect them to fire quite a few vs BOU WBA BHA!
DDG
Valencia Alonso WALKER Dawson Bertrand
Walker to who?
that's an expensive backline!
Moses
Britos or Suttner
Maguire or Robertson
To a 4.0 so you can spend some cash elsewhere...
Have
Willian KDB JWP
Kane and Lukaku
Going to do JWP to Richarlson
Will Trips and Davies be guaranteed for the season?
I believe in premium defenders over the course of the season rather than taking punts on 6.0 mids and strikers.
This
New AC trailer looks lit
Hope its cooling you well..More imp than good light buttons
AC?
Assassin's creed
The series is tired, generic and needs to be put down.
What is Carabao cup now? One for mediocre ENglish teams as cant see any of top sides playing
All PL teams with European football enter in round 3 as always.
League cup innit
They change LEague cup branding faster than Defoe changes clubs
since there are 6 top sides now (including Liverpool and Arsenal in that) one will definitely try and win this cup, as Man Utd did last season to get silverware.
People going to get STUNG by KDB.
Last year he never went 4 games without blanking
last year city play with one striker
Sold him for Mkhi before GW2. Never looked back.
I say you will this week.. But mkhi is great
They will and it'l be annoying to hold, maybe lose value while other players are scoring and then get rid just as he smashes it but the point is he simply aint worth 10m, he's a 9.5
Hoping he atleast gives 5 points in next two so can replace him with Sanchez uptop
How would you spend 2.5itb?
A) Stephens--->Alonso (already got Cedric)
B) Mounie--->8.5 forward(got Salah & mane, so no Firmino)
C) Atsu--->7.5mid
D) save the FT
c
A
Probably A, unless you're keeping it for Hazard/Sanchez
What is everyone's opinion on Phil Jones, got to be a steal at 5m surely?
for next 2 Gws yes...Then once UCL starts expect him to share time with Smalling+Lindelof
If you long term types go for Bailly or De gea
He's currently a premium defender at a basement price so yes.
Play Elliot (WHU) or Begovic (MCI)?
Definitely leaning towards Elliot...
Also, Atsu (WHU), Carroll (cpl) or TAA (ars)?
Elliott and Atsu ofcourse
Atsu is greedy monkey he should score finally
That's what I was thinking 🙂
GTG????????

AA++
Very weak midfield
yes have the option to put ramsey in there or Antonio but not sure if its worth -4
How good was Vardy vs Brighton?
Close to a couple of tap ins but fluffed his lines, wasn't as useful vs a team that sat back but still had chances. Mahrez was more influential
Thamks
*thanks
Any cresswell love for West Ham's upcoming run?
Would be relying on attacking returns as defensively i rate them as one of the worst in the league
Not sure about heir defence. Better option elsewhere.
Chicha & Antonio seem to be good options.
