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.
What would you say about:
This week Mane to Salah
Next week Cedric Chica TC to Kolasinac Chupo Joselu -4
?
Nice
Could work will wqit on Salah news only a cold but you never know
Chica to choupo is actually impossible
I'd be wary of Joeslu's minutes. Gayle always likely to be given 20 minutes or so
Morata and De bruyne or Jesus and Hazard.
My front 2 is kane and Abraham and I don't know whether to go a top mid and top fwd or go morata Jesus Kane and have Brady and Choupo M.
1 more safe.
Jesus + Hazard
Foster (Elliot)
Bertrand, Suttner, Kolasinac (Naughton, Long)
Redmond, Mkhi, Ramsey, Ritchie (Carroll)
Kane, Lukaku, Firmino
1 FT, 2.3 ITB
A) Save
B) Suttner > Bavies
C) Bertrand, Ramsey, Redmond > Bavies, Erikson, Choupo/Gross (-8pt)
B
I can see the potential for a Zappa/Alonso double up after GW7. Would be like two attacking midfielders who would gain 8 CS points if the CBs actually manage a shutout.
Good shout especially if Chelsea are as solid defensively as they were last year
Zappa? Moses is first choice until he's dropped
Only if zappa becomes first choice
Would like to think that that will happen sooner rather than later
I can see that happening Zappa is a frikkn Beast 🙂
Cahill a better shout with the information we currently have available.
Cahill fifth choice centre back behind Christensen and Rudiger I'd like to think
Think away! Just get Mendy for now, and you'll probably end up keeping him until he's injured or suspended.
Luckily I'm not thinking of changing my backline until the GW7-8 WC. Hopefully the roles of the league wingbacks will become a bit clearer
I saw you were thinking about it a page or two ago. Either that or your were looking for affirmation for what you already have.
I think people are getting held up on the 'wingback' label. If I'm not wrong, Valencia did well from a full-back position this week (from this article), people like Maguire and Cahill can be better value than wingbacks at the same price (if they exist) too.
Just be wary, that's all I'd say.
Cahill?
Chelsea centre back
Ha 🙂 that not what i meant i thought you compared Cahill with Moses, Zappa or Alonso thats it, just a misunderstanding.
I did
Best way to free up 0.3?
A) Bailly to Jones
B) Mounie to Joselu
Concerned that Jones won't start forever. Joselu's stats are good but haven't actually seen him play so not sure how promising he has looked.
Probably b josulu seems to be heavily involved in Newcastle attack plus a decent differential
B
Huddersfield look defensive
Thanks both.
Wouldn't go near any of those players in B
Well it's one player in B because I already have the other one.
Obviously the alternative would be finding another 2 or 2.5 from somewhere to bring in Firmino but I'm not looking at doing that.
Skysports says Zaha could be in contention for the Sot match. Going straight into the team when he's fit.
Their fixtures are appalling
How to sort this front 7 mess?
Pogba Eriksen Mkhi Salah Mane
Lukaku Firmino
2 FT, 0.0 itb
Mane > Alli easy
I was thinking Mane Pogba Lukaku ➡ Choupo-Moting Alli Kane for a -4. Worth it?
ten million options, but i believe your got it it just here, Alli Kane and someone like Moting sounds great for a -4 🙂
Trust your guts dude you got it
Pogba Mane to Silva Alli.
you confident in Silva's gametime?
Pogba > Silva
Downgrade Pogba and Mane, Get one premium forward, one decent mid and one fodder.
Mane Pogba Quaner ➡ Choupo-Moting Morata Carrol?
Something like that. Or the one below. Haz + Chomo sounds juicy too.
1 premium forward in addition to Kaku & Firmster
Pogba Mane to Choupo Hazard
bit early for Hazard? Not really confident in Chelsea's fixtures tbh
Tough one ... Pogba and mane out to Alli since you have no kane and Ramsey or Antonio to hit fixture's
cheers all 🙂
Which one is better?
1) mane to salah
2) mane to mooy/grob +chicharito to Jesus (-4hit)
1
1
Took a -8 after my WC 🙁 but I think longterm it was good decision
Cedric Mee Lacazette
to
Davies Mbemba Kane
Team is now:
Foster
Davies, Jones, Alexander-Arnold
Eriksen, Salah, Mkhitaryan, Loftus-Cheek
Kane (c), Lukaku (v), Firmino
Elliot, Carroll, Naughton, Mbemba
-8 worth getting Kane and Davies in?
Over coming weeks I may now do:
Foster > Krul and just play Elliot
Allows me to upgrade Mbemba to a 4.5 def .
Thoughts on this?
I did this on my wc. Hope it works out.
Not a few hours before they play.
Did it over the weekend to beat the price rise on Davies
A)
Elliot
BDavies Jones Cedric D. Luiz
Eriksen Silva Ramsey
Firmino Kaku Kane
Subs: Foster, T Caroll, Chalobah,
*Luiz to Kola next week
B)
Elliot
BDavies Jones Azpi Cedric Kola
Eriksen Salah
Firmino Morata Kane
Subs: Foster, T Caroll, Chalobah, Mbemba
Suggestions A or B please?
So had to WC
Should i switch to ronaldo (c) or stay with neymar (c)
switch. I did when I had Lewa's 8 points
Is doing Sanchez, Chaloba/Carrol & Chicharito to Salah (if fit), Gross & Jesus for -4 crazy?
Not really but Gross is unnecessary IMO
It will cost me 4 points to do this, but I now have bench cover for rotation.
Elliot, Foster
Alonso jones bavies maguire (Mbemba)
Mikhi Choupo Erik Antonio Fellaini
Vardy Firmino Kane
Views?
Very good team and balanced. You may have a MF benching headache
Yeah I know but rotation will surely come into play and the likes of Firmino Kane Alonso Erik Fellaini Mikhi are all risks
Need to downgrade Yoshi in order to get Kane with my 2FT's.
A. Yoshi ----> Naughton
B. Yoshi ----> Mee
C. Yoshi ----> Other?
A
Clarke
Have Elliot as only keeper
Both are good. Mee has great fixtures long term.
Clarke if you don't have Elliot
Naughton if you have Elliot
Any rotation pairing lined up?
Got 2 FT this week so can shift out Pogba easily enough.
Have Lukaku so may just leave it at that for Utd and get someone like Ritchie and use balance to upgrade lokilo.
need to get rid of Mane and Pogba- I have Eriksen and Firmino. Please rank:
A) Salah
B) Alli
C) Mahrez
C) Siggy
Thanks!
ABCD
Based on price and form I would rank the same way you did. 🙂
Reckon this site is one Mendy assist away from another bandwagon
To be fair if he is nailed I think he is a very good option. Plays high up and crosses a lot, if no other city option is really standing out he could be good.
Kola bandwagon hasn't even properly started with 2 assists
Yup he has good crosses so bound to get plenty of assists.
A) Kane + Sigurdsson/Coutinho
B) Lukaku + Alli
Which gets more points long term, thinking A is the better option but can't decide between Coutinho and Sigurdsson with so little to go on.
A.Coutinho looking good if he start.
Have to get rid of Pogba on WC,whom to get
A)Alonso and shift formation
B)Siggy straight swap
Mkhi?
have him
A
Thought on Jrod? Keep or sell?
Have 0.4m ITB so 6.3m if I sell.
Joselu? Would do it for free
I'll second Joselu
Current forward line of -
Eriksen Mkhi Salah Choupo
Lukaku Morata Firmino
Used the FT for this week. Is this fine ? Or is Kane essential to get in for a hit ?
It's fine. Gonna be two hits for Kane?
Yes -8
Any advise as to tinker vs saving a FT?
DDG Elliot
Trippier STEVENS Daniels Suttner 4.0
Alli Salah Mkhi BRADY Carroll
Kane Lukaku ABRAHAM
The tinker options are
Stevens to WHU defender or max 5.4
Brady to Choupo-Moting
Abraham to Joselu
I would be tempted by Abraham to Joselu, but I'm with your defence I would save as could be a couple of transfers needed there. When do u plan to wc?
Yeah, I'll be in deep if I do Joselu, and both Stevens and Trippier are benched
Stephens to Jones?
Best defender upto 4.9 on WC?
Lots of decent 4.5m options, Simpson mee naughton
Naughton?
Evans
Any ideas how to sort this defence?
Bavies, Mee, Francis, Hegazi, Yoshida
Thinking of getting rid of at least one of Yoshida/Hegazi. Who is more likely to start next game?
That is unpleasant. I think Yoshida is highly unlikely to start, Hegazi is 50-50 for me... Needs major work though...
A or B?
A) Firmino+D.Silva+Mee
B) Firmino+Ritchie+Mendy
B
B
Draft question
Heaton ->
A) Elliot
B) Butland
C) Fabianski
D) Foster
C
B and it's not even close
Others periodically getting '503 Service Unavailable' on the site?
Yes, for weeks, but nobody cares
Ok cheers
i just got one too. its being investigated, we care a lot.
Yes we care. I didn't mean the users.
Er...who do you mean then? Because Mat is our full-time dev on the case and responding to your comment.
Ah okay. I didn't know this Mat was THE Mat.
How can we report technical issues to FFS? I've had issues in the past but the responses I've had from mods (and you, sorry) haven't helped me answer this question (nor solve the problems). Thanks
You can always mail me direct - cut out the middle man 😉
mark@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk
These days we can normally investigate asap.
Server and HomeCrowd issues are being investigated at the mo.
Okay thanks Mark
Still having issues on Google Chrome on Android where when loading a page, it skips to the bottom. I reinstalled Chrome and it worked for a few days but it is happening again. Anyone else getting this issue?
Thanks
What's the general opinion on Mkytarian?
Nailed? rotated?
Can't really find a better option in the 8-8.5 bracket
Pretty much nailed, might get the odd rest, but at that price point you can't complain for the probable points return IMO.
Check out every Scoutcast since the beginning of the season 🙂
I bought him last week, though I'm not expecting returns anything close to Eriksen, for example. I am considering Mahrez too now that the fixtures are turning.
