Paul Our usual post-Gameweek members’ article is up next as we check in on some of the standout performers across the previous weekend’s ten matches.
There’s cause for optimism in north London after Spurs and Arsenal hit a combined nine goals, while our new expected goals data offers plenty to ponder at Manchester City.
Elsewhere, Man United and Chelsea’s Belgian big-hitters have struggled to convince as Watford’s Samba star continues to catch the eye.
Davies, Billing, Eriksen --> Mee, Richarlison, Salah
Solid move? Switching from 433 to 343
Cheers
No because of your username.
Kinda asked for that one... 😉
But what's your real thoughts on the transfer? Got 2 ft's.
Another way you can look at it is that he's giving his chosen front 3 vs WBA minutes together so they can develop more understanding between each other.
developing any understanding of pep would be more useful
Mission impossible that
This has nothing to do with football, but I'm just curious.
What's your favourite film of all time?
swear to god, first person to say shawshank is getting a slap
Hahaa
What's yours?
So many to choose from....but I do love raising Arizona. Cohen broths at their best.
Seven/good bad and ugly
Apocalypse Now
Never seen, worth the watch then?
Errrr ye-hesss, a must!!!
Oh and the Redux version
an apocolipic mess of a film. riddled with disjointed timelines and scripts written on day packet.
It's bloomin brilliant
Have you seen the deleted scenes like when Dennis Hopper journalist is killed etc. You don't know what happens to him in the director cut.
yeah .
have you seen heart of darkness, the making of the film.
almost as good as the movie. the number of things that happened during filming and production was just ridiculous
my favourite too
OMG yes. One of the best films of all time.
Fight Club
Good film
Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge
Disorderlies.
I like that prison one with Morgan Freeman and Tim Robins, can't remember what it's called
Never heard of it mate...
why I 'otta
Fight club
Raging Bull is a fav of mine. Hard to pick my absolute favorite tho....
El Topo
2001: A Space Odyssey
Kodak porrta pro
😀
Mine's a rogue one...
The Prestige
you might as well just said shawshank 🙂
No way!
Form tables are up
http://www.triggerlips.com
Last time I looked at those I got Laca in instead of Jesus. Never again.
I find myself doing worse listening to the scoutcasts 😆
I've gone back to the old fashioned watching football. It's much easier to do now Sky are showing 30min repeats of all the matches they cover. Takes five hours, so not everyone has the time.
cheers TL
Is it worth me doing aguero and richarlison in for sterling and jesus?
I would. They are guaranteed more minutes at least!
I like those moves! Long term too
Nope.
No.
Yes
Yep. Especially if free transfers
Duffy or Dunk?
Dunk
slam dunk
Dunky
Duffy.
Duffy, better with baps so far, more goal threat
Differing views on goal threat here. I assumed Dunk was more likely to score.
Which one to play this weekend?
A. Jones - TOT home
B. Choupo - WAT away
B
Why isn't McBurnie added to FPL?
Didn't he get loaned out
Nearly. Missed deadline for paperwork. Swansea fannying about with Bony & Llorente deals first
FPL have overlooked his loan move to Barnsley falling through on deadline day.
Poor.
who is McBurnie)
These two guys are ridiculous. Just have moped up all awards for past ten or more years.
Will end soon...
Then it will be Boufal & Lovren's turn......
Thoughts for thic WC team??
Fabianski (Elliot)
Cedric/Naughton/Ward (Simpson/Mariappa)
Sterling/Salah/Zaha/Ritchie (TCarroll)
Kane/Lukaku/Morata
Can't stretch to Richarlison from Ritchie?
I can if i Ward -> Mee
Seems logical to me. The upside of Richarlison from Ritchie is worth more than a few baps for Ward over Mee.
Also I prefer Duffy to Simpson.
Thanks for your advice!
Lineup highlights:
- Pep trolls us again. Sterling, Jesus and Aguero starts. Sane and KDB benched. Silva and Otamendi rested.
- Jones fit enough for the bench
- Abraham benched
- Zaha rested, RLC starts
- Stanislas rested, Daniels starts
Okazaki rested too..
thanks
There has been some discussion on here about best use of free hit chip and don't think we can completely say when is best time.
I have been thinking does anyone consider the psychological or tactical impact of when to use the chip, particularly in relation to ML.
Example being if you used it early and got great score that resulted in healthy lead could this panic your rivals into either using theirs or making transfer mistakes?
Or could it be used as blocker in last couple of weeks? I know of case a few years ago when one person had small lead and he used the traditional WC to bring in his rivals squad, effectively stopping him having any chance of catching him.
Nice points! I plan to ignore MLs and, use it wisely around DGW time, either for a short week or a DGW where following fixtures aren't ideal.
yeah I still think DGW or blank week seem best.
I have messed about every week so far to see what a FH team would look like and haven't seen much to make me consider it was worth it.
only time will tell
I think I am keeping it in the bag for a rainy day. If I never need it, I'll maybe use it in any late double gameweeks.
Anytime may be the best time and anytime may be the worst time. If you get lucky with it you can regard it a success and vice versa.
I personally think it would cover an unplanned double fixture week like the one we had in late december last year nicely without changing ones team but that could fail big also.
The best thing for peace of mind may be just to use it up so that you dont have to worry about it for the rest of the season. May be logic in that too.
I think saving it for a shortened gameweek is best. You could gain more points playing it this week than in the short gameweek in the week itself, but it's what it allows you to do around that, i.e. not waste your transfers and squad places moving in and then out rubbish players just because they don't have a blank.
Looks like Salah will be coming for Sterling for me this week rather than Eriksen.
Thanks Pep.
You can read absolutely nothing into this.
I think you can certainly read into it that Sterling is a bigger rotation risk for the weekend than Eriksen.
That should of been clear since week 1 tbh.
Yup agreed - but this week my plan is to ditch one of them for Salah so this is pushing me towards Sterling out.
With their fixtures turning for the best ............... to be or not to be?
To Coutinho or to Salah? That is the question!
Following on from a previous assertion I made (without anything but that usually unreliable source, a hunch from the grey matter,) this is the question that can answer the question:
Does Coutinho score better against lesser opposition who are more liable to park a bus than Pool’s front three?
There’s no doubt to me that Mane and Salah are most effective on the counter allowing them to use their pace to get behind defences.
Given the ownership differential, it’s only natural to assume a bias on here for the Egyptian but do any of you stats junkies have data to support or otherwise my assertion?
All opinions welcome as Captaincy options are few and far between this week.
Tis nobler to go with Salah. A. because he is in my team. and B. if he ever learns to finish he will be pure gold.
Tough one.. leaning towards salah cause of pens
Love the way Phil Jones has become Terminator this season. Keep thinking he's out then he reappears in the squad all fine
Think I need a new mash-up grav
Makes a change from being in the stands with the fans.
As soon as he is off the pitch the Utd defence concede the same in five minutes as have they done all season too!
One more, for the road. 😉
Which is the team which has lost the MOST matches, at HOME?
Place?
He said AT HOME!
Easy, Swansea
Yep.
Anyone for Fabianski? 😉
Sold him 🙂
Good man. 😀
He's been a gem for me roatated with Elliot
Didn't expect that. 🙁
That is, or should be, the real purpose of these little quizzes ... 🙂
Swansea?
Correct. 4.
Another one 😀
😆
Might double up on Brighton with Ryan if Brighton keep a couple of clean sheets in the next 3
Welcome to my World ... 😀
Why the hell is the most boring team always on TV
I know they have the biggest support as they appeal to the knuckle dredgers and sheep but watching them is painful
which country?
UK ... Man U on again
Only match with both EPL teams
So Silva Otem Sane KDB start at the weekend. Ok
And so it begins
I once knew a Tim
He was also nice
But what ?
😎
Becoming slightly concerned by Richarlson, looking like this year's Mahrez. May have to -4 him in next week if haulage.
Im doing -4 now to get the haul this weekend 🙂
What's the fuzz about Richarlison? He's only 2 points ahead of Doucoure who's 1m cheaper.
I agree, there's a final ball issue with him, but he certainly is making things happen at Watford. I have got him for the short term to replace Brady.
I was sarcastic there mate xD
oh..... 😳
🙂
Ric-haul-son
Will outscore our previous favourite Swans beau imo.
Gutted to end up playing with only 2 defs in last 2 gws. What would you change
Ederson Elliot
Alonso Fernandez Davies Mbemba Hunemeir
Ritchie Gross Silva Tcaroll Salah
Kane Jesus Vardy
1FT, 0.2 itb, ready for hits
The answer is in your first sentence.
Enlighten me man
Get defenders that are playing.
You really need some defenders for your bench.
One of Alonso or Davies needs downgrading to fund upgrades on Mbemba and Hunemeir (or just one of them)
Alonso -> Otamendi?
I wish I could do it man but already got 3 city players. How abt
Davies+Mbemba- Moreno/ Gomez+ kiko
Ah hadn't spotted that sorry! I'd go Duffy over Moreno/Gomez just because of the possible rotation with Liverpool full backs - especially because you're making the change so you have a bench! 🙂
Proves conclusively that nobody can second guess Pep.
A message to all those who frequent the FFS comments section
lol 😆
lol
Is the Ox ever gonna break in to that first team? Looked lively in Mane's position.
As an Arsenal fan, I should probably be hoping for him to fail, but I actually hope he does get there. He's a great talent and was just starting to get some good form going at the end of last season.
didn't he say he wanted to play centre mid?
rumours still about that tino could move in January, could he replace him
Thats like replacing the local Michelin star restaurant with a Burger King.
Quick question. Do you think that Stones is good value if the budget can't stretch to Otamendi?
I know Kompany is back soon but I can't see Pep dropping him.
Kompany has been due back a while. I think he’s broken.
If I couldn't afford Otamendi I'd definitely consider Stones.
Ok thx
Otamendi is better because of goal threat and BPS, but Stones is a decent option.
To be fair, I think goal threat is about equal between the 2. Stones has the two goals in champions league, scored a couple in the preseason. Otamendi has gotten more shots/goals in the league so far, but the sample is small enough that it could just be random. They're both in the box on set pieces.
Yeah i really tried to fit him in but it just doesn't work without downgrading a premium mid & that's not happening so Stones is the only option
No way Aguero starts 3 games in a row coming back from inj. Perfectly set up for 10 mins off the bench at WBA then the important game against nap
We all know what happens with guys who are most transfered in in a GW. 🙂
If he plays 55 today, I think he starts at West Brom.
Remember when sterling got taken off at 70 midweek and everyone thought he is a sure starter with sane benched for playing the full 90?
Why is Napoli so important? They are in control of their CL group.
People make out like they are 3rd and need to scrape through, they have 9 points and are in firm control.
@Bemba, Brazil and Argentina play their next friendlies in Europe so travelling distance won't be an issue.
that's good news to some extent. I just really worry about pep during november/december. It's a really bad feeling
You won't get many league starts in a row around those times from either.
What's more likely - Jones clean sheet or Brady getting returns v Newcastle?
Both 2 pointers. 🙂
United clean
Kane will score at least one.
Lol
Even if he doesn't, someone will get at least one. Spurs are the second most dangerous side in the league
Isn't Jones injured?
No he's fine
In squad for tonight's game.
I've Captained Alonso the last two weeks and I will be doing the same again this week. Please fill in G/W 10 points prediction.
G/W 8 2 points
G/W 9 2 points
G/W 10 ?
-2. 😉
😯
1 pt
Impossible
32
Is the correct answer. 🙂
Gnome magic sent to your team for a monster haul this week.
🙂
I forgot to add they're playing Bournemouth.
I almost did it this GW but got Morata(C) in for a hit and got same points.
18 pts
2 points
2 at most.
10
Romero, Blind, Lindelöf, Smalling, Tuanzebe, Darmian, McTominay, Herrera, Lingard, Rashford, Martial.
McWho?
4.3 mf
The english Iniesta
That spot is taken by Gareth Barry
Gareth is english ronaldo
Jeez last chance for Linelof in Manunited shirt
Did u guys remember how vidic and evra started ? Give the guy a break!
i own sterling and jesus i dont know what to do with them
stare at them with seething anger. that's how Im coping
😀 you're on fire potatoboy
same. and since i own lukaku, i'm even more flummoxed.
