Up next, we make our regular post-Gameweek assessment of the Opta data for our members.
The improved performances of Alvaro Morata, Jamie Vardy and Raheem Sterling come under close scrutiny, along with Man City’s relentless attack.
We also check out the impact of want-away midfield big-hitters Alexis Sanchez and Philippe Coutinho, before casting an eye over Marcos Alonso’s downturn in output as the Fantasy exodus on him picks up pace.

and hope Sakho stops Lukaku
I'm doing Aguero to Lukaku this week, but I have no other United player and I'm wildcarding next week.
Can't believe the slander of Wingbacks on the ScoutCast... why was I not there to defend them?!
Monreal over Kola?!
Azpilicueta over Alonso?
BLASPHEMY!!!!!
Just like to Az you're my favourite scout from here ! always love the way you think out of the box ..
Ah thanks bud =)
It doesn't always work out so well for me though... but going OK this year (so far!)
Tbf, Azpi has been killing it recently
How was the dinner with Jonty's parents?
I lol'd at that.
Wish I'd been there getting smashed with Granny + Jontys parents!
Really wanted to be there last night but got the message to say Luke couldn't make it as I was in the car to a friends house.
Did still debate cancelling it, but the missus would not have been happy...
I agree with Azpi. Him and morata got some good understanding. I feel he is the Chelsea defender to go for
The other one is total garbage 😉
Kola and Azpi
Alonso and Firmino > Jones and Lacazette for free.
Do you think it's sensible?
Downgrade for me.
Jones isn't worth getting in based on the fixtures and Lacazette is the worst premium striker option IMO.
Serious?
Come on.
Arsenal's got the fixtures and he is on penalties too
Lacazette at 10.3 looks great value for me.
Only two goals behind the top scorers despite Wenger being very cautious with his minutes and Arsenal's very tough fixtures.
Look we need to see his other forwards but nobody is really looking at Lacazette as a serious choice at the moment.
3 of the next 4 are good but after that it doesn't look good.
He gets subbed early all the time and has he actually impressed anyone?
If Sanchez & Ozil turn up then he could be decent but he can't create anything for himself. So until Arsenal's two AMC are nailed it's too early to get excited on Arsenal as an offensive option.
I want to see a lot more from him before he's even in the same breath as Morata, let alone Aguero/Kane/Lukaku.
Go for it!
What to do with this defensive line-up? It served me well a few game weeks back, but now....
Elliot/Foster
Blind, Hegazi, Bavies, Alonso, Mbemba
1ft, 0,1 itb
Cheers
I'm really tempted by the free hit chip this week
I have a team full of city and Chelsea players but no Liverpool and davies is my only spurs (no kane), added to that is possibility of kun rest.
city, chelsea fixtures look good so I'm happy with my assets after this GW, and may WC over next couple of GWs with fixture change but feel that I could make a leap on other players by having a team full of arsenal, spurs, utd and Liverpool players for one week only
depending on any injuries/price changes over next couple of days I'm thinking of starting gw7 with this team
foster (WAT)
trippier (hud), jones (PAL), fonte (SWA), Moneral (BRI)
Ramsey (BRI), mkhi (PAL), Coutinho (new)
Lukaku (PAL), Kane (hud), Lacazette (BRI)
I had planned to use the free hit on a blank GW but who's to say what teams we would have playing in that? I think I might gamble on these strong players playing strong fixtures than having a team full of playing budget players later in the year. if I can make an extra 20 points over my original team I think that would be a successful use of the chip.
thoughts?
Free hit doesn't look so good this week imho
Not disagreeing with your logic and could work out but I'm kind of waiting and watching from a distance at other people's success and failure using it to try gauge it better , kind of like taking your shot last in crazy golf watching which route your predecessors take lol
my thoughts are basically my team will score averagely this week, but there are 3 teasm playing great fixtures that I have little representation in, and looking ahead that might not happen again for a long time. I'm 90% sure I'm going to give it a go
You don't know your team will score average though ! Guy in my mini league missed the deadline went into the gameweek with Mane and pogba on red and scored his highest of the season, you don't know
I'm not convinced by the 'save the free hit for a blank week' theory. It will vary for each team but I think you'll get more points using it like you suggest. This wouldn't be the worst week to try it.
save it for a week with cancelled fixtures
Yeah or even one of the big DGWs.
Lukaku -4 and captain better than morata/laca/vardy for free and Harry captain?
Nobody knows but I'm not going to shuffle my strikers too much this year, Lukaku could blank and the rest get braces it's a lottery this year
Harry captain with Laca this week for sure. Laca to Morata then next week
Mendy antonio and eriksen(all injured)
To
Mane, silva, suttner???
Wow that's unfortunate.
Yes, moves look good
Eriksen isn't injured
Eriksen will play IMO
Mendy + Antonio > Suttner + Mane/Silva if you can
Eriksen should be fine
Would you consider bringing in Sterling over Silva after GW7?
Definitely.
I will be getting him next week
If he gets minutes, imo he will be great value
No too risky for me Jesus plays that position when he and kun start which will happen in games
Better option from GW8 onwards?
A) Otamendi, Brady & Eriksen
B) Walker, Shaqiri & Silva
Appreciate your thoughts!
A
I prefer A
Even if you have Kane & Davis?
Davies**
B - both stoke and city great fixtures, shaqiri is playing right behind forwards as well
Yea but Mendy now injured will city even play 4 at the back and is Walker even worth that money?
Plus I know I will want Eriksen back at some point.
in that case why not otamendi, shaqiri, silva?
A
One week double punt.
Bertrand+Jesus to Trippier+Laca/Vardy(-4)
Can't decide which forward. Help?
Thanks.
Lacazette. He loves scoring at home.
Seems that way, hope he doesn't start tomorrow. Cheers.
I was thinking of using a free hit to get in arsenal assists, what do you think?
see my post above
Lacazette or Vardy for this GW
Vardy for me
Wait and see if Lacazette plays tomorrow.
I would say Vardy as Bournemouth can't defend while Brighton are a defensive team.
Get Aguero or Morata after gameweek 7?
Morata but nobody knows go with your gut man
Couldn't resist it, transfer made!
Play Tarrol or Naughton? Can see Swans playing wing backs to match up WHM so Naughton would be more involved by that logic
Is anyone considering Coutinho over Salah?
If I didn't have Salah and needed to save coin yes , money not an issue I'd go Salah
Not instead of no.
Salah has been one of the best players so far.
Any thoughts gratefully received:
a) Atsu, Alli, Lukaku
b) Ritchie, Mkhitaryan, Lukaku
c) Alli, Mkhitaryan, Jesus (currently have these)
d) Something else?
Already have Kane and D.Silva
a & b allow Firmino > Morata GW8. I then have the option of captaining Lukaku GW7 & Morata GW8, both have CPL.
Also allow future Lukaku > Agüero move.
A - lukaku for this gw is more useful than jesus
Thanks
so seeing a lot of hate for hockey cockeying here ... can anyone tell me the disadvantages of hockey cockeying?!
Wow. The hokey cokey and hockey cockeying are very different things, to my mind.
Ball is a bit hard on your bell-end
hahahahaha
My ding a ling...
Bottomed...
My team is currently :
Elliot
Davies - Bertrand - Alonso
Willian - Choupo-Moting - Mahrez - Ritchie
Lukaku - Kane - Firmino
Forster - Carroll - Mariappa - Long
I have 0.6m itb, 1 FT and plan to WC next week
I nearly took a -4 hit doing Long + Willian > Danilo + Davis/Groß
Is this worth doing before a WC or do I have a better option??
Do I need to be thinking about using WC this week to sort this mess out?!
Anybody on here used their free hit chip yet? If so, how did it work out?
Top 2 in LMS used it and scored over 100.
Will be a bit different on a week where the big-guns don't all fire though
Interesting. It does seem a powerful chip. Maybe even better than TC or BB.
Agree - if used correctly and not willy-nilly
A) Ramsey -->> Willian
or
B) Jesus -->> Jesus
Maybe a one week punt if I WC over Int break but uncertain whether to do it just yet. Thoughts appreciated.
B = save FT
Would definitely not be putting Willian in right now
Should have been-
A) Willian -->> Ramsey
or
B) Jesus -->> Lacazette
Jesus to Morata
No point doing it this GW
Should have been
A) Willian -->> Ramsey
or
B) Jesus -->> Lacazette
Willian will be rotated now that Hazard is back.
Not guaranteed - Pedro or Willian
Should have been:
A) Willian -->> Ramsey
or
B) Jesus -->> Lacazette
A) Willian -->> Ramsey
or
B) Jesus -->> Lacazette
Sorry all brain dead moment from me there
Should have been
A) Willian -->> Ramsey
or
B) Jesus -->> Lacazette
oops!!!
A I think 🙂
Danilo or Stones
both rotation risks. danilo this weekend probably, neither long term
Stones has played every single premier league and champion league match so far this season.
no was dropped one for kompany and came on later, when kompany is back he is favourite to be dropped
I seriously doubt it but we'll see. Pep won't take off an in form Stones for an out of form Kompany. Not until Kompany is back to his prime, he isn't even fit yet.
Fernandez or Carroll as my final player this week vs West Ham away?
Carroll
Carrol I guess, West Ham very likely to score.
I'm going Naughton
TC
No Chelsea and owning Jesus worries me ALOT. Apart from that I'm chilled
this week is ok, next few weeks not so cool. could always move jesus to morata for guaranteed starts
Stoke Burnley West Brom after Chelsea though!
Palace Watford Bournemouth for Morata are more difficult but nailedness, you're right.
Jesus to Morata
Should I do Wimmer to Otamendi now or Save FT,play mee and do the move next week?
next week
Otamendi went up in price, plays Chelsea and plays for Argentina. Saving sounds better.
Save
Any news on Erik?
Wait for presser
Nailed City defender (long term)?
Nope
I'd say Otamendi at this stage
Not when Kompany is back.
Otamendi and Walker
With the following team:
Foster/Elliot
Otamendi, Daniels, Cedric, Simpson, Mariappa
Salah, Alli, Mkhi, Richarlison, Carroll
Kane, Lukaku, Rodriguez
In GW8 would you:
A) Wildcard + punt in GW7
B) Mkhi, Lukaku, Rodriguez -> Ritchie, Morata, Vardy (-4)
0.1 ITB and 2 FT's. Any suggestions on tranfers?
Gomes (Elliot)
Davies Stones Naughton (Clark Mbemba)
Eriksen Mhkitaryan Chuopo-Moting Doucoure (Cork)
Kane Lukaku Morata
If you had to choose between Everton and Southampton defence, who would you go for? It looks like it's either Cedric or A Williams
Cedric
Cedric for me too
Chances of prices rises of these players this week?
1) Azpilicueta
2) Vardy
3) Silva
4) Morata
Silva & Morata have already had 1 price rise each.
Azpilicueta is a definite price change.
Vardy is a possibility
Silva and Morata definitely not another one
6 years, 8 months agoFoster (Elliott)
Naughton Alonso Jones(Lowe Mbemba)
Mkhi Salah Ritchie Alli(TC)
Abraham Aguero Kane
a) Aguero to Lukaku and then Lukaku (c) for this week ?? and bring Kun back again for gw8
b ) Save the FT and Kane(c)
