It’s time for our post-Gameweek members article next as we assess the data from the previous round of fixtures.
Manchester United and Spurs midfielders feature in our analysis, as do Stoke’s weekend goal hero and Newcastle United’s new frontman.
A Burnley centre-half and West Ham wing-back also catch the eye, while we also check in with a pair of two-goal frontmen from Arsenal and Man City.
Moreno if he doesn't play tohight
Good shout for next 3 GWs, then WC - thanks!
Someone from Newcastle
Take your pick
Well, now I know Yoshida might be not playing every week, are any of the Southampton defenders safe?
bertrand 100%
cedric 85%
With Pogba and Kompany out and Willian subject to rotation, no choice but to WC. How's this?
DdG | Elliot
David Luiz | Dawson | Trippier | Cedric | Mbemba
Mkhi | Eriksen | David Silva | Mooy | Carroll
Lukaku | Kane | Ayew
Not 100% sold on Dawson - any other good 5.0 defender to get him out for or a 4.5 that would allow for an upgrade elsewhere, perhaps Trippier to BDavis?
Davies has been my best player yet, with the clean sheets and attacking points. I thought about getting Lowe
DDG is expensive and could get defender instead?
Not really sure about Ayew....
Think the structure is pretty good just question marks over returns for silva I feel.
Ayew is a cheap forward that will be on the bench most GWs.
I'd go for a 4-3-3
Ayew to Firmino,
Drop DDG, Elliot can be played for next 3- weeks np, get another 4.0 GK.
Drop Mooy also to fund Firmino
I did something different. Will post once we're on the next page.
DDG too expensive. I'm going Elliot and 4.0. Another option would be Elliot/4.5 rotation. Jones 5.1 best option for United D cover.
My current WC team, would really appreciate some feedback! Thanks!!
Elliot (Foster)
Alonso Kola Jones Davies (Hunemeire)
Eriksen Mhki Choupo (Atsu Carroll)
Kane Morata Firmino
Spending heavy in defense, is this the strongest defence?
Still uncertain about Jesus vs Morata
Thanks 🙂
Don't point chase w/Choupo
Yeah I though, his stats are good, who would you get instead?
Thought*
Who would you get instead?
Mooy. IIRC, they are priced similarly.
why mooy? i am thinking to sell
Choupo is as good a pick as any in that price range. A midfielder playing up top for 5.5 and no1 else standing out at that price it's worth a punt
If I WC I'll have the exact same D. And forwards. Don't like Choupo or whatever his name
Thanks, who would you get instead? It's lacking a bit in the 5-6 range
Mooy
This actually looks well balanced, even with alonso and kane. Must be that cheap midfield - points may well be in defence and up front this year
Choupo is a good option IMO, potentially OOP, good stats and looks very dangerous going forward seems good value for 5.5
I won't consider him until GW9 but he's on my watchlist for sure.
Any left itb?
This WC team ok? Or fit in Hazard?
Foster Elliot
Alonso Davies Jones TAA Mee
Eriksen Mkhi Gross RLC Carroll
Kane Lukaku Firmino
My WC looks very similar. I'm going with Elliot and 4.0 until GW12 or GW15 though. And not sure if I'll go Lukaku or Jesus/Morata. Other than that, very similar.
Good team. Assuming 4-3-3. I think I'd upgrade TAA and downgrade Foster and play 4-3-3:
Elliot 4m
Alonso Davies Jones Cedric (Mee)
Eriksen Mkhi Gross (RLC Carroll)
Kane Lukaku Firmino
Elliot | Foster*
Alonso | Davies | Bertrand* | Yoshida* | 4.0
Eriksen | Pogba*** | Phillips* | Atsu* | Carroll
Kane | Lukaku | Chicarito**
1 FT, 0.4 ITB so I could do Pogba -> Mkhi
I'm seriously considering WC. Comments?
I've got some of the same *problems.
Also seriously considering WC to put in Gross and all the other knee jerk cheap MF options.
I would bring Mooy and go 4-3-3 with strong 4 back, no Lukaku. What do you think? Really awful time Pogba to get injured. I was going to save FT and do Bertrand -> Kola (fund somehow). If I do Pogba -> Mkhi I cant even bring Kola in.
Atm I'm 70-30 on activating WC. Need to do some research on fixtures beforehand if it makes sense.
I think you could just do the FT or even small hit
Don't think you need a WC
Not sure I want to take a hit. Not even sure how I'd use it. So many issues.
Pogba -> Mkhi only move I can see me doing. No Pool cover for next 3 weeks is a concern (can't bring anyone in w/o WC).
A) Mahrez + Joselu
B) Choupo + Vardy
Hmm?
Joselu's underlying stats ain't half bad and has slightly easier fixtures. Plus (I'd assume) Vardy could be sliiightly more at risk in terms of playing 76+ mins. Yes I'm trying to convince myself...
A
I'd take B
Really no better options than Joselu or Choupo? They're just the knee jerk flavour of the month, can't you shift funds around for someone more established?
bottomed :i want to do three transfers because of price fixtures and form:
schindler to ben davies
chicharito to joselu
richarlison to choupo moting
of course doing all three means -8
how would you prioritize? which 1 or 2 to do? maybe all three??
Do 1st two, monitor 3rd - could be a flash in the pan (assuming you need 1 downgrade to do the 1st transfer)
i do - you are right - sensible approach
🙂
Otherwise just do the first for now
Willian+Pogba+Lukaku to Alli+Mkhi+Vardy?
Thanks!
You have Eriksen already? If so, I like it. Considering WC and going without Lukaku.
I don't have Eriksen, just Kane. It's between those two for sure but the fact that Alli is suspended in Champions League for three games make me think he won't be rotated and will be more fresh.
Yeah, Lukaku keeps scoring but if we captain Kane every week, there's more value somewhere else I reckon. And Vardy got great fixtures.
100% agreed. I might be a bit biased preferring Eriksen as he's one of my favourite players (not many elite players from Scandinavia in PL). And he's on form. Should get at least 60-70min / game even with CL going.
Thanks for the input, I'll wait til Friday anyway, plenty of time to change my mind haha
Best budget/4.5m defender?
I'm currently on Naughton, Mee, Moreno (punt), I need 1 more.... Perhaps a Brighton boy?
Thank you for your help
newcastle boy
This
Pedro, Fabregas or D Silva to replace pogba. Can anyone make a good case for any of them
d silva - more nailed, better fixtures
Finally realising I don't have a clue.
Started today wanting to transfer Pogba, Mounie and Tadic.
Now planning a hit to shift Bertrand with Pog.
All over the place
Keep bertrand hes got Palace next!
Shift Pog and Tadic / mounie
But Bavies just looks so appealing
have you finished work for today Zouma?
if so, please walk to your fridge open door grab a bottle of Beer or anything of your desire and walk back to your screen press the sleep button of your computer put your feet up and enjoy the icecold drink .... nahhh? is that good???? now you ok to sit back and tinker again 🙂 hahahah
haha i think it's needed. I was just hovering on the WC button after putting together a team I loved unexpectedly. 65 minutes until the end of the work day and I can switch off from it!
sounds wicked enjoy your afternoon Zouma 🙂
Willian+O romeau to
Choppy+any 7.1
0FT
1 only if you have money
Which two should I leave on the bench ?
A. Loftus-Cheek against southampton
B. Bertrand against Palace
C. Atsu against Stoke
D. Manquillo against stoke
Definitely play bertrand cant pick out of the other 3
Loftus Cheek and Atsu
loftus road cheeky boy
heavy up top is this defence decent enough?
Lloris, Elliot
Jones, Cedric, Yedlin, Naughton, Hunemeier
Not sure about Yedlin, better 4.5 options out there but the rest looks fine
Lloris -> Someone cheaper, use the cash to upgrade an outfield defender.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel, but:
a) Choupo-Moting + Atsu + Hemed, rotating the three (3-4-3/3-5-2) based on fixtures
or
b) Choupo-Moting + Tom Carroll + Joselu, C-M and Joselu play all the time, TC benched.
Joselu has not been playing consistently.
Eased into the team? Played 70+mins the last two.
1) Hazard Jesus
2) Eriksen Lukaku
2
2
Wow, talk about tough call.
If Hazard was fully back I'd say 1, but currently he is not, hence I say 2.
Chuopowagon
Yep... just hoping someone out there will prove consistent enough at 5.5. Doubt it's him, but at least he can be a placeholder.
Chou Chou
What about Gross?
I have currently got PVA, Hegazi & Rangel in my defence who are at risk/not playing and I am currently playing the first two this week. Would you take a hit to swap them for Davies/Trippier (I have £1.9m ITB so can swap any of them). Cheers!
Yeah, think that'd pay off over the next few. Probably sell Hegazi to bank the profit.
Mendy looked really good in the last match, getting forward quite a lot. And they have good fixtures coming up.
A) Mendy
B) Southampton defender
a
Definitely go mendy over a southampton defender. He did get forward alot but he was giving no help to otamendi and is really lucky to have gotten away with a clean sheet, i feel this may be the case for the entire season and he looks really clumsy to me, like he is seconds away from a card all the time, given the other 6.5 options i really wouldnt get him
I dont know who you have but Azpilicueta, Valencia, Kolasinac and davies all look much better options
Chances of Bournmouth keeping a clean sheet vs Newcastle? Thinking of playing Elliot ahead of FoRster
Who rotates well with Elliot?
Dunno, but pretty sure I'm following Mark's lead with Elliot + Krul and hoping for the best.
Sunderland GK
I think its Schmeichel is the best rotation pair home/away
If morata's head was a 6.5mil striker would you buy it?
No
Would it be in a jar like in futurama?
would be great to hear that someone's head is nailed on
What do you think of this WC team for next week?
Elliot, Foster
Baily, Lowe, Mendy, Davies, Mee
Miki, Alli, Carroll, David Silva, Doucoure,
Lukaku, Kane, Hemed
Will Stephens play?
X) Yes
Y) No
Anyone else like the look of Danilo or Mendy? Too risky rotation wise?
I like Mendy
Mendy looks good
Imo Otamendi is at risk of losing his centre back position to Danilo, once Kompany is back. He was poor against Liverpool while Danilo looks much more dependable.
I am taking danilo out in a wc. After that nonsense whete he was listed then didn't start, can't be havung a 5.5 def who might not start
A or B
A)
Forster Elliot
Duffy Jones Dawson Naughton Cedric
Brady Salah Alli Chalobah *Mkhitaryan*
Morata Firmino *Jesus*
ITB 1.1
B)
Forster Elliot
Duffy Jones Dawson Naughton Cedric
Brady Salah Alli Chalobah *Richarlison*
Morata Firmino *Kane*
ITB 1.4
Surely A but I can't go without Kane and Lukaku, can I?
Gomes or Fabianski? How come Watford have three CS...? Thanks.
Because they haven't let in any goals in 3 of the games they have played (Brighton, Southampton, can't remember the other one)
Hey Klopptomist , just a quick one i guess you are a LFC fan? would you know if TAA may play this game week ? or what hes chances are in your opinion,thanks in advance. And i am slowly coming around with Morata i guess he is pretty solid with his head and if Zappacosta starts soon these two could be trouble..... took me a bit but i am there right? 🙂
Hey there! I am but not sure to be honest. I would hope so - imo he's more attacking than Gomez but slightly less solid so Burnley at home seems like his kind of fixture, can't be sure though! Haha assuming he left the toilet seat up this time then? 😉
thanks for that dont want to pay points (-8) for pogba switch so hoping TAA is the man for this week 🙂 if not i get Ayew in so perhaps a 2 pointer there. and yes he (morata) was very good behaved last time arround .......
Gomes
Mini poll please guys, replacing Pogba is messing with my mind, to give a context I already own Mkhi, best move of these
A) Jones to Davies, Pogba to Antonio -4
B) Alonso to Davies, Pogba to Eriksen -4
C) Pogba to siggy, week early but free
D) Pogba to silva, not too sure on him as an option as has a much lower ceiling that Pogba looked to have this season
It's either B or bench Pogba imo
I guess so, tough losing Alonso but there's a real dearth of options At the 8m price bracket other than the two United mids who were my enablers for Alonso
6 years, 7 months agoBest 4.5 def I can get and play this GW ?
