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.
Richarlison
Thanks. Was thinking him or possibly Choupo
JESE . promise you hell score
A Stoke midfielder for the weekend?
A. choupo
B. Jese
C. shaquiri
Great shout with Shaqiri!
A. choupo
B. Jese
These are basically forwards/strikers as they rotate
Ritchie on set pieces, playing Liverpool.
Got him already!
Any idea how long Mendy is out for?
Reports are now saying ACL - im gona get rid
thanks. Is Danilo worth a punt?
yes get him next week
I'd avoid. Not sure on his nailednesss
What's wrong with walker?
Nothing. Mendy out long term.
Why? Got to be first choice ahead of Delph?
New options - just for GW7 (can you tell I'm conflicted!?)
1) Aguero, Mkhi >> Lukaku, Silva (-4pts)
2) Aguero> Lukaku (FT) - no City
3) Firmino > Vardy (FT) - no Liverpool
4) Sit on the FT and hope Kaku doesn't explode against PAL
What do you think?
Current team - 1FT £0.3m itb
Foster, Elliot
Alonso, Bavies, Jones, Mbemba, Schindler
Eriksen, Mkhi, Ritchie, RLC, Carroll
Aguero, Kane, Firmino
Cheers - need help!!
In a similar position . I'm holding as I want 2ft for the break and Man United fixtures aren't great after palace.
Looking to remove Dawson and firmino next week, but both have decent fixtures this week.
Currently on 2FTs.
Best use of 1FT? 0.5 itb.
Downgrade Dunk to give more cash to fund Morata next week?
DDG Elliot
Dawson Kolasinac Dunk Bertrand Stones
Mkhi Ramsey Redmond RLC Carroll
Kane Lukaku Firmino
you can do firmino to vardy hes a long term keeper
Chalobah has to go, basically only have Carroll as sub(Hunemeier fodder also) so...have 2ft and this will be one of them
A) RLC
B) Romeu, who has excellent fixtures
C) Other 4.5
So need benchfodder with some potential.
A or king
RLC by a mile. Many mention King but his place isn't assured once Iborra's up to speed.
Aguero > lacazette (-4) one week punt?
not for -4
For free possibly, but I wouldn't for a hit
Hey guys, I have taken my first -4 hit of the season to give me this squad and still have both WCs. Do I also need Lukaku this week or I should l lock in this in and then clean up my defence from next week i.e. TAA, Hegazi ?
DDG
Bavies - Mee - Hegazi
Salah - Ramsey - Ritchie - Richarlison
Kane (c) - Aguero - Morata
Elliott - TAA - Mbemba - Carroll
downgrade ddg , upgrade defense?
Yeah. I was just hesitant about Jones due to being injury prone but Utd's games turn sour after Palace. Any suggestions on which defenders to get? Evans, Kiko-Femenia, Lascelles?
Hey lads, should I WC after this week or wait till week 12?Cheers
2 FT's and 0.0 ITB
Foster,Elliot
Davies,Jones,Bertrand,Suttner,Long
Silva,Mhki,Salah,RLC,Carroll
Kane,Kaku,Firmino
almost exactly my team im planning on doing kaku + firmino to aguero + vardy long term looks great tough fixtures for kaku
or morata + vardy
Was thinking Kaku/Firmino> Morata/Vardy.Thanks
Do you still have your WC?
Very good team, no need to WC.
I'd consider Firmino > Vardy. Maybe Kaku -> Morata on int break.
Thanks
Looking at WC in International break and looking for advice on 3 midfielders
A (as below) Mane DSilva Shaqiri (or Ritchie)
B Coutinho Sterling Ramsey
Fabianski Elliot
Azpilicueta Cedric Maguire Jones Davies
Mane DSilva Shaqiri Carroll RLC
Kane Vardy Morata
Look at Man City and Liverpool's comparative fixtures GW8 and 9 - I would possibly look at another Man City midfielder on a WC who would then become a Liverpool midfielder for GW10.
Otherwise, very solid team indeed - should score big after IB.
can also downgrade jones to mbemba , downgrade mane and up vardy to aguero or jesus
No Eriksen & Salah?
Thanks, unfortunately that would mean my third midfielder would be 5.2 unless downgrade elsewhere which will look at. May keep Alli over Mane initially
Best defender to get @5.6 or below?
Not Monreal, Mustafi or Jones
Schindler
trippier
1 week only - Aurier will be back GW8 and start at RB.
Maguire
Cedric/Bertrand
Don't spend that amount on another defender. Plenty at 4.5mil or Mbemba.
Captain 1
Kane
Lukaku
Morata
De bruyne
Coutinho
luk if no injury tonight . but kane will have a day extra rest . really it should be between those 2 and laca
2
Pick one:
a) Barry to RLC
b) Long to Mbemba
Best midfielder for up to 6.3?
See top post.
ritchie / jese / choupomoting/shaq
UCL question:
Keep captain on Ronaldo or switch > messi/dybala
i put it on dybala
Too late, unfortunately.
My defence is Jones, Cedric, Naughton and Rosenior and got 5,9 for the last spot. Who?
A) Otamendi
B) Davies
C) Bellerin
D) Other (and who?)
C!
On a scale of 1(NO)-10(YES). Do you think tripper will start in GW7
9,9
why wouldnt he , he had an assist last night too
He was used in the mid week, most players that are on rotation are usually benched.
A) Rosenior 4.0
B) Hunemeier 3.9
?
How bad do you need the 0.1?
were both thinking mbemba right?
Sorry, scenario assumes you have Mbemba. A bit risky, I know.
Not that badly
Would you play Oriel Romeu STK(A) or Walker CHE(A)?
I dont think Walker can get a cs against Chelsea and Romeu might sneak in assist or goal?
Currently on Walker but having doubts...
walker all day he should be fixture proof
Having compared Alonso's stats from last year to this, I'm confident* that he'll come good now Chelsea are hitting a great run of fixtures.
*praying
he will probably but azpi seems a better bet he may even switch to rwb when chelsea dont have suspensions
Does he seem better because of the assists he has allready gotten? Surely they cant continue like this?
I like watching him. Great player and for sure going stay on my team.
Chances of Willian starting vs City?
50/50 lets see what happens tonight . feel he will start vs city because hes good in games where they sit back n counter
Pedrito
Kun transfers slowing up, maybe people going back to Kane or Kaku... maybe some rotation fear?
or Crystal Palace/Chelsea.
Any reason for all this Richarlison love or is it just limited options in that price bracket? His fixtures don't seem that good. I already own him btw.
Prefer Choupo-Moting/Jese. Good stats for Richarlison though shots in the box
I like him, very attacking and almost equally OOP as Choupo-Moting and Jese.
Casuals don't look at fixtures. They look at the points scored so far and only Gross has more in that price range.
Becouse he plays out of position? He is really a forward.
Don't expect returns for weeks in a row though, every 3 or 4 maybe
Better option on GW8 wildcard?
A) Otamendi & Ward
B) Jones & Maguire
B,better value
Hello
would you do?
Foster +Firmino +Alli to Krul +Morata +D.Silva(for a -4)
Cheers everyone
This week no, next week maybe.
yes,next week for free could also be the plan,unless I get priced out.
Wouldn't sell Alli
Find a way to keep Alli and get Morata
only if that was so simple.other plan is to sell lukaku.
Nah - Alli is FPL gold
Azpili, moses, luiz, cahill
Which one is better? Why?
Already have alonso, want another one with their great fixtures after city.
Azpi
Azpi
Lots of talk of switching to 4-3-3 with 3 big hitters up front but anybody considering switching to 4-4-2 ? Putting an extra big hitter in midfield instead and investing the change in a stronger defence. I'm considering it on my wc next week.Something like..
Elliot (4.0 non playing keeper)
Davies,Cedric,Luiz,Ottamendi (ward )
Erikson,Salah,Silva,Ritchie (King)
Kane,Morata ( Hemed or other 5m ish striker)
Thoughts ?
This looks worth exploring further . ..
Is Ritchie the big hitter? 😉
Ha.No that would be King 😉
2 strikers looks too few this year
You can only captain 1 of them though ! Switch Hemed to say Aguero and work out what you end up having to lose.Salah down to a 4.5m mid and then 2m out of defence !
It's viable but less fun. A big reward possible if you get it right but you'll need a bigger sofa.
Hi....working towards a wildcard strike force of
Kane morata vardy
I can most likely only afford one of salah or Eriksen.
Which 1 should I go for? Thanks
Eriksen for me. As close to a season keeper a player can be. Well, Alonso is one for me too.
Salah maybe back after GW9. Current plan is to go without Pool on WC, then do Silva, xxx -> Salah, xxx on GW10.
I knee-jerked Kola to Monreal 🙁
I like Kola, but Arsenal defence worries me.............they have managed to nick a couple of clean sheets but god only knows how, they should have been 2-0 down against WBA
What's the logic behind that????
That's what you call giving yourself a head-ake
Going with Vardy as captain.
Completely crazy?
no, I think he can do well vs B'mouth plus he is surely still on pens
I am officially off the idea of using a free hit chip. Hence, I need help regarding who I should captain this week. These are my options, please choose one and elaborate 🙂
a) Phil Jones
b) Henrik Mkhitaritarn
c) Dele Alli
d) Mo' Salad
e) Sergio Aguero
f) Alvaro Morata
g) Wilfried Bony
F or C
Por que, my good Ake?
C - fixture, had a rest in CL
That is true, he should be fit for fight. HUD, however, are solid in defense this year. Would you still cap a midfielder?
Probably Alli but Kun has a great record against Chelsea and since Pep took over Chelsea v City has averaged 4 goals a game.
Kun played 85min mid week tho.
HUD is no walkover for TOT.
However, the last fact is interesting. Perhaps that makes Morata my go-to guy.
6 years, 8 months agoBest one week punt midfielder? £6.2m budget
