Paul We turn to the Opta data next for our regular post-Gameweek check on the top performers over the weekend for members.
A host of midfielders catch the eye this week, with assets from Liverpool, Spurs, Leicester and Stoke all impressing. The growing influence of Burnley’s playmaker is also highlighted as we also check in on Manchester City’s left-back debutant at the Vitality Stadium.
I'm holding onto my WC for now.
De Gea Elliot
Hegazi TAA Suttner Stephens Hunemeier
Mkhi Salaha Ritchie KDB Carroll
Kaku Kane Tammy
1 FT (0.6 ITB)
Was thinking of KDB to Alli and TAA to Naughton, leaves me with 1m ITB. Thoughts?
Two sensible moves. Go for it.
This
Yep
Good moves, wait until next week of course.
No need to transfer TAA out this week, especially not for a -4
On WC. RMT please..
Foster Elliott
Stephen Alonso Kolasinac Mbemba Zanka
Eriksen Silva Mkhy Pogba Caroll
Morata Firmino Rooney
who will you captain
Any $ left?
You got like 9m itb or something?
Looks great, but you'll be hiding behind the sofa when Lukaku/Kane has a great fixture and everyone (C)s them.
Morata (c).. 0.1 ITB.. Any suggestion? Was holding onto Kane for the first 3 gameweeks.
Wouldn't be keeping Kola if I were on a WC
The fact that Ox moved to Liverpool made me want to keep Kola and he is the only Arsenal cover in my team
Don't worry about cover. Especially not Arsenal cover at this point. The bottom line is that a United defender like Bailly or jones will score more than Kolas if Arsenal keep conceding no need to put more thought into it than that IMO
True. Kola to Bailly then. Thanks
What do the new Swansea signings mean for TC's prospects? Different role, rotation risk or simply out the team?
*shrugs shoulders*
Let's see what happens
Still in the team I say. He was signed by Clement so would imagine he keeps his place.
As an Arsenal fan, the Ox deal should be seen as fantastic. 40 Mill for a player who wants to leave and is in the last year of his contract?
In a market where Salah goes for less than that and Walker goes for 50 mill...great business.
As for the player, I was pretty excited when he signed, but he's clearly another over-hyped young English talent ala Walcott, Wilshere, Stones, Barkley and many more.
Hope he gets the chance to establish himself, but to be fair he probably would've done it Arsenal by now if he was going to do it at all.
at Arsenal*
Plenty of players havent improved over the last few years at arsenal tbh. If i was an arsenal fan, i wouldnt care about the fee unless Arsene went out and spent big on two or three first teamers
I named two Arsenal players who have similarly stalled. The deal in isolation looks sound.
As a Liverpool fan I sort of agree. I'm not sure where the Ox fits in..?
His favourite position is CM so presumably has been told he could win a spot there at Liverpool? Wijnaldum's spot? He's pretty young still so could be thinking about the future.
Yup. Wijnaldum's spot would be most likely.
cover in midfield and could also work as a late substitute for one of the wingers. Incredible amount of money, but Klopp usually knows what he is doing so until we acgtually seen him play for LIverpool it´s a wait and see for me
I like him and am sad that he is going but 40 million is good business ..... or would be if the club re-invested the money ... which they wont
This is the point. Money needs to be reinvested
Probably not as the squad is really big at the moment...but Ozil was signed on deadline day, wasn't he? Can always hope...
On the other hand the whole world knows Arsenal need a replacement for Ox , they have 40 million and only a few days to spend the money .
They are welcome to Arnautovic. I will drive him there myself.
I'll pay them a fiver, to take him off my hands.
Out of interest, why are you so down on Arnie and the other west ham acquisitions?
Because they have destroyed our team. As I correctly predicted, weeks ago, almost alone.
You may have noticed our last three results, after a reasonably good start to our pre-Season.
Of course have noticed the poor start...
But in isolation each addition looks reasonable.
I believe the club itself is the problem from the top down. The owner, chief executive and manager all need replacing...
No, they don't. Zabaleta is too old, and has not been given the job of mentoring Byram, so may as well bugger off.
Arnautovic HAS ALREADY proved my point about being temperamentally unstable, and bad for the team.
Chicharito has had no pre-Season, and will break down sooner rather than later. In addition, he needs a partner, whereas we are suited to playing with two DMs. Moreover, Sakho has just screwed himself and the club over. Again.
Hart is now, and has been for a year or more, a crap goalie, and an embarrassment. He was bought by DG and DS for sentimental Birmingham reasons. His advent has fractured the dressing room, as Adrián is a very popular senior player, and he and Noble were instrumental in pulling the team out of the mire, last Season.
Reasonable???
Don't make me laugh.
Lol
Don't need a replacement at all. Squad player who covered at various positions that already have other cover?
Of course I'd like a 100 mill bid for Vidal, which would solve every problem...but know it isn't going to happen.
Solve every problem? Wow
Keeps Sanchez happy. Proven winner with the 'tough captain' mentality everyone keeps saying Arsenal need. Dominates games from midfield and can do the dirty work.
Don't forget the FA Cup final, there's not much that needs changing to sort many of the problems out.
I get that it would make sense that it should ripple across the team and sort them out. But I think Neville was spot on in the game. Arsenal players just can't be bothered to try when things don't go well. I wouldn't be surprised if Vidal becomes like that within a year under Wenger
Yeah it does seem like that. All the selfie stuff really doesn't help when theyre getting smashed and roll over.
Just don't really know anymore. I really thought that 2-0 game v Man City where Coquelin looked great was a turning point. Like he'd realised you can't just play all out attacking and passing away from home v good teams. But yeah same old same old... sigh
I remember Arsenal v United when Cazorla first got the deep CM role.
I thought, wow, Wenger looks like he's really adapted.
And then yeah...same old, same old
hey giys! need help please...
A. any thoughts about my wildcard?
foster (elliot)
jones, cedric, yoshida (mbemba, rangel)
pogba, mkhitarayan, ali, salah (carroll)
morata, jesus(C), firmino
B. yoshida to stephens?
cheers!
Liverpool couldn't sign a Southampton player this window, so instead spunk £40M on an ex Saints player they did not need.
#SaintlyAddiction
Lol.
lol ,I was thinking about that. How could Liverpool transfer window be completed without signing a player with Saints connection. 😛
FSG should've bought Southampton.
Which 3 would you play next GW granted no injuries during IB:
A- suttner (WBA)
B- trippier (eve)
C- carrol (NEW)
D- Atsu (swa)
E- william ( lei)
Abd
RMWCT plan is to roate Jese and Ayew
Foster
Alonso Yoshi Mee Naughton Mbemba
Pogba Mikhi Eriksen Manè Jese
Lukaku Firmino J.Ayew
Foster
Trippier - Alonso - Cedric - Bertrand - Daniels
Coutinho - Eriksen
Jesus - Lukaku - Defoe
Subs // Elliot - RLC - Carroll - McArthur
Second team for fun. 163pts (880k OR) - playing 5-2-3 throughout the season. Not bad considering I forgot about it and didn't make any transfers.
Can anyone advise how long Coleman will be out? Does Martina look nailed until he's back
Martina hasn't played yet this season has he? Holgate has been playing at right back.
Holgate has played RB not Martina
Christmas ish I think. Nobody is nailed at RB.
christmas
best 4.5 mid on a WC?
Thinking Carroll atm, but Chalobah and Cork also options
Romeu? Definitely nailed. Others might be more attacking, but with less nailedness now?
Chalobah would be my pick, got to be nailed in the Watford double pivot.
Sad how the younger fans view wenger as some senile old man who has no idea what he is doing. I can't tell if it's the way this generation thinks wanting instant satisfaction and because he's not winning he's one of the worst managers in history or perhaps these people really can't think for themselves and just simply follow others views.
Wenger will go down in history and for me is one of the greatest managers to grace the league. Yes, he has made some poor decisions recently but at his peak the team he built was one of the most incredible/exciting teams I have ever seen and probably will ever see.
For me those memories created are some which I will never forget in my lifetime. It's easy to forget the past and concentrate on the now (or recent years).
I laugh at some of these kids out there who make disparaging remarks towards wenger like the guy has no clue but then look at other managers as the second coming (I won't name them) even though they are not half as successful as Wenger
Plenty of people have lived through the good times and still think many of those things.
Failure tarnishes even the brightest of achievements
Agreed. Its a vocal minority who're being rude though. Majority like Wenger and are forever grateful, but some want him to go.
It'll be funny when there's eventually a TV money deal crash and or the Russian/Middle Eastern businessmen decide to leave football.
Wenger'll be laughing then after how good of a state Arsenal are in.
Wengy poos has lost the plot.
It's no disrespect to someone like Wenger, he's not called "The Professor" for nothing, but it seems he's getting short of ideas nowadays. The players seem to be going into a comfort zone at Arsenal. He for some reason is not able to inspire them to perform to their full potential. But having said that, since "the Invincibles" departed Wenger has not been able to re-create the magic. When Van Persie left, it was a similar crisis they were in although there was more hope of turning around then than right now.
"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself in the Europa League"
lol.
No one can doubt the impact he had on the club and English football as a whole when he came and the first 8 years he and his team were truly sensational.. the sad thing is there has been a much longer period of mediocrity and getting hammered and bullied the way his teams used to do to others.. his Arsenal career has been very much one of two halves.. actually the
tremendously successful period becoming the smaller and smaller half the longer he hangs around stinking the place out
As an older Liverpool fan I have the deepest respect for Wenger and what he did for the English game. For years I have admired and even envied the way the Gunners play football. But all good things come to pass. It's time for a change at Arsenal surely? Even King Kenny had to step away when we needed a change. You can't hold on to past glory forever. Liverpool supporters should recognize that better than most.
True. But having said that "Liverpool supports" recognizing doesn't help much here 😀
True I agree.
In addition, he has secured their future with a great stadium. Shame about the inhabitants. 😉
Fk me.
You don't see Rafa still living off winning La Liga with Valencia.
Wenger is a dinosaur. The most tactically naive manager in the league.
May long his reign continue
Elneny centre back. Maitland-Niles RCB. Welbeck over Lacazette.
#WengerGenius
Ha
Are we treating Lanzini's "injury" as an International Break injury?
Absolutely. Don't buy him though!
*Triples on WBA defence*
Bloody hell, and there was me thinking at the start of the season their midfield looks weak
Team becoming a bit of a mess - who should I get rid off? And who to get in?
De Gea Elliot
Kolasnic Stuttner Cedric Dawson Mee
De Bryne Mkhitaryan Willian Ritchie Romeu
Kane Lukaku Mounie
2FT 0itb
KdB for a Liverpool mid.
De Bruyne to Salah and something else?
Looks okay. Agree with KDB to Salah and would consider Willian to Pedro or Sterling if he moves.
Are there any nutritionists here who could recommend on a diet which might improve my FPL prospects?
Yep.
Prunes. And wine. Lots and lots of wine.
The occasional take-away curry helps, as well. When you have time.
😉
Thanks, sounds like I'd better dye my hair blonde and prance around in fancy outfits apart from my weekly take-away.
Works for me. 😆
what if one is a teetotaller.
One needs to loosen up a bit. Start with the prunes. 😉
okay 😛
😀
Watch every PL game with a little bit of lemon and a splash of oil
😀
"Understood that Oxlade-Chamberlain has signed 5-year deal worth £120k a week. Sad indictment of #AFC that he turned down £180k to stay.."
Also turned down over 200k a week. Regardless of what you think of his ability i think its admirable that he isnt purely motivated by money and has the self belief that he can succeed in his preferred position at Liverpool
Fair play to him, but it doesn't stop him from being overpriced.
Inflation. Evans costs 30mil. Equivalent to costing approx 17mil a couple of years ago
This last year has been crazy. Evans the same price as Kante, let that sink in.
I prefer to carry on in blind ignorance. 🙂
Haha 🙂
I'd heard 6 year deal so not sure on the wages being accurate
Maybe. I do think its prob around this figure. Its almost certainly less than what Arsenal were offering
Any thoughts on Danilo? I still got him and don't want to get ride for a hit, or should I? I don't expect him to start any more until the CL games..
Bench him then?
Shift. Walker and mendy will be more likely to start now
For a -8?
Nah. Bench him if you can
To all the people saying TV doesn't matter, I am building my WC team ,and falling short of .2 ,so praying for some specific player rices/falls ,I would just like to say that TV DOES MATTER.
Did you see Salah's game after he dropped in value? Or Jesus'?
Points are still more important.
Points are obviously more important. Otherwise FPL would be won by team with most TV.
Any idea why Pool would need another Mid? Ox the Coutinho replacement?
They haven't really addressed any of their problems this window. Ox is unnecessary imo.
We pick up a couple of injuries then we will struggle. Ox covering mutiple positions will be a useful asset. So many games this season.
No. We need competition for places. Looking to get Lemar who will prob be Coutinhos replacement
Do you not believe that £40m could have been better spent on a centre back or goalie? A proper improvement.
The window hasnt closed. we could still get VVD
Squad depth, versatility.
Kane at 80 percent? Everything alright with casuals ?
Grzegorz Krychowiak (def mid) in WBA, he will really improve their defence!
Very tidy player, would be a fantastic signing.
Who is nailed in Broms back four?
I would imagine Gibbs, Hegazi, Dawson and Nyom will be their back 4.
This is based on Evans leaving right? Might get Nyom
Yes, if Evans stays I would imagine Nyom loses his place and Dawson moves to right back.
Thanks for info
So who will Arsenal field in Europa?
Seems like they're shedding a lot of players that would have been useful for the group stage.
The whole club is in meltdown.
So is ours. ðŸ™
But we will go down, you will not.
Still plenty of jokers to put out an eleven.
What cheap players have people got in their WC defences?
Currently looking at a back line of Jones, Cedric, Naughton, Mee, Hegazi.
Players from defences who have kept and look like keeping clean sheets. Wondering whether there are any better options though.
mee to moreno or lowe
I've got a back line of..
Dawson,Maguire,Daniels,Löwe and Mbemba in my wild card team....
Happy with it too....
Got DeGea in goal so jones not an option...
I think you've just about nailed it. No doubt someone will say a Huddersfield Def, but not for me.
Cheers...
Jones, Cedric, Ward, Morgan, Mbemba
pick 2 that u would like to have on WC
a. Lukaku
b. Morata
c. Firmino
BC, but only if you also have Mkhi + Pogba
I assume they're to go alongside Kane, and if not, get Kane
no kane for me now
other will be 3rd FW and Premium mid
AC
A and C. Hazard in a few weeks.
Which one out first, TAA or Daniels? Also ditching JWP so
A) TAA + JWP -> Naughton + Atsu/4.5
B) Daniels + JWP -> Naughtin + Ritchie
Did you see Daniels' goal?
Yes, but wont be scoring every week
naughton + brady(5.5)
So Daniels
Daniels might about to become a wing-back and, for all we know, TAA starts GW4 and does well. Strap that knee down. Decide once you know.
Who is the most nailed out of Burnley's back four? Lowton?
Me
Their back 4 never changes tbh. All are pretty much nailed.
What a difference a year makes.
From Pogba being one of the most overpriced players ever to nobody batting an eyelid at 60m+ for any good player.
Jose always said give it 2 years and Pogba will look a bargain. He was correct 🙂
Both Siggy and Silva are available in one of my draft leagues...
Best option long term?
Ooo. Tough one really. I'd back Siggy I think
Siggy more nailed, Silva a bit of a gamble with pep's rotation.
I'd say Siggy.
Anybody have an idea on whose minutes will be effected by spurs new defensive signings? Tripper for sure right?
Trippier*
Yeah, Aurier gonna replace Trippier by the looks of things.
As a signing you mean Sanchez?
Serge Aurier/Sanchez
yes
