We roll out our usual post-Gameweek delve into the members’ Opta data next, assessing some of the standout candidates over the weekend’s action.
Midfielders from Leicester, Liverpool and Stoke are among our Gameweek 11 headliners, as are Swansea and Brighton’s budget strikers, while we also analyse Romelu Lukaku’s recent decline in output as the transfers out continue.
😎
Hi guys, IF Pogba is back after the IB, would you keep/get Lukaku?
would get pogba himself
Wonder if he'll be eased into the team of start a full game instead...
this
I think my defence is little weak??
Foster / Elliot
Mee - Kolasinac - Zanka (Otamendi, Hegazi)
0FT // 0,6ITB
A. Otamendi or Kola to Jones (-4)
B. Hegazi or Zanka to Daniels (-4
C. No hit and good to go
c
c
Who would you sell first? Luiz or Bavies?
Will be getting in Azpi.
Dann or Daniels will come in for the other in a week or so.
Luiz
keep Davies for now, will play every other game at least over very busy period coming up
although ideally no more coming on for 30 seconds again....
Who is the best £4.4 to slot in here?
Pope / Elliot
Jones / Daniels / Moreno / Mee / £4.4
A) Dunk
B) Manquillo
C) Francis
D) Yedlin
I mean choosing A will create the exact same back 7 as me so A! ha
Dunks fixtures aren't that great. I'm almost tempted to double up on Bournmouth.
Dunk for me.
Thanks.
A probably
🙂
I do like C also to be fair.
I'm probably going for D but have Duffy anyway, so...
wimmer another option but yeah id say dunk.
Cheers mate.
Dunk. Double Bournemouth defence will be horrible in 5 gw's and I wouldn't trust Rafa not to rotate a little bit over Christmas
Yeah good call.
You know who.
Who? Do you? Knew? Flew?
Also be aware that francis is on 3 YC
Fabianski, Elliot
Otamendi, Kola, Davies, Morgan, Mbemba
Eriksen, Salah, Ritchie, Richarlison, Carroll
Kane, Jesus, Tammy
2 FT, 1.7 itb
(1) Otamendi + Davies + Ritchie to Jones + Apzi + Gross
(2) Davies + Ritchie + Jesus to Jones + Gross + Lukaku
(3) Davies + Eriksen + Jesus to Jones + Sane + Lukaku
(4) Otamendi + Davies + Eriksen to Jones + Apzi + Sane
All (-4). Please help me with this. Thanks!
4
Thanks! Don't you think Lukaku will do well at home?
He could do well.But i'm going with on form player over fixtures.
4 sits well with me my friend.
Thanks! Having Sane and Jesus means I'll have one guaranteed starting City attacker (though you never know with Pep).
Ritchie to someone like Gross in the coming weeks then? Kola should go soon too?
Prefer Ritchie tbh, I think he's been a tad unlucky to be behind Gross in the points and think Brighton's fixtures are a lot more sticky than Newcastles.
Kola is another who can deliver as you know but your team needs a bit of Chelsk. defence for the good run, so maybe that's OK.
Srry,you're getting Azpi in with 4 🙂
Maybe a bit of Burnley love.
I mean give Burnley some love, I wasn't calling you love!
Haha. Yes, I plan to do Morgan to Mee in the future.
Thanks! I'll keep Ritchie and Kola for now. Can sell him + Morgan for Mee + Daniels but that won't raise enough cash for Tammy/ Ritchie to premium fwd/ mid, so not so urgent.
I mean choosing A will create the exact same back 7 as me so A! haha
reply fail**
Played my WC for GW 10 and pretty sure my squad value has risen by over 1m since then. Nice. Anyone else get this?
Well Sané has gone 0.3m since then. Jones 0.2m. Salah 0.3m. That's 0.8m
Didn't WC Jones in. Took a risk and swapped Cedric out for him last night and just seen Cedric dropped in price.
Cedric is still 5m
Cedric didn’t drop?
I don't do the squad value thing but surprisingly my TV is 102.5 which I think is reasonable and it sure will help further down the line.
Would be surprised if that happens 😛
Hardly get a 2m price rise over season, over 2 weeks is impossible 😛
Yeah.Jones Sane and Salah are the culprit.
I only have one of those, I must try harder
Tv of 103.7 . Around 93 k OR.
This Zone is dead!
Someone forget to open up the coffins?
Niasse or Calvert-Lewin?
I think Niasse will be given the chance now with Lewin still being protected somewhat.
I would pick Niasse. I have had DCL for few weeks. He gets changes and is kind of entertaining player with his moves, but he is not producing points enough.
It's the Everton question with the new management and the players deciding to bust a gut for them and the club now. Stuart Pearce is a good number two for Mr. Nicey.
I still won't be touching any of their players all season regardless. They have all but killed my Dream Teams the reprobates.
Confused with Everton squad. Sandro should be their starting striker, but he hasnt started in a single game since the first gameweeks. They also have a bounce of players who can play behind the striker(s), so together with Rooney who wont be dropped there will be either 1 or 0 strikers. Wouldnt touch either atm until they start having a certain starting XI.
Transferred Cedric out for Jones. RMT please.
Speroni
Jones Ward Femenia
Richarlson Gross Salah Sane
Aguero Kane Vardy
Elliot Otamendi RLC Mbemba.
Will be between Salah and Aguero for captain.
Nice team! Bench is decent too
Very interested to know which option people are in for?
A - 3 forwards and 2 midfield big hitters
B - 2 forwards and 3 midfield big hitters
Do you mean 2 or 3 premium forwards (>10m) ?
What price will be considered as midfield big hitters?
At what price does a player qualify as a big hitter?
I’m going for Kane, Lukaku & Morata as my front three with Salah & Sterling as my two most expensive midfielders.
8.8 or more!
3 foward big hitters and 2 mid big hitters?
A
I have 3 forward and 3 midfield big hitters.
Kane / Kun / Morata
Salah / Sterling / Richalison
😉
Richarlison indeed a big hitter, but in away games
Kane Rashford Salah Sane D.Silva Hazard for me 🙂
Does Kante coming back mean Fabregas pitch time could be effected? Do Kante, Fab and Bakayoko all play together?
I think it worked a treat this week.
Hope he sticks to it.
The dynamic without Luiz is perfect I hope he stays binned too.
Suggestions on how to use 2 fts in this front 8? 0.1m itb
salah silva richarlison gross carroll
kane jesus vardy
Jesus + Vardy + Ryan to ***** + Abraham + DDG
A) Lukaku
B) Morata
B would let me bring in Mane for one free transfer after the chelsea game.
A
A for the next 2, then Morata
B
Morning DZ
On WC
Who are the best options out of
Morata or Lukaku or Lacazette
Abraham or Murray or Calvert-Lewin/Niasse
Hazard or Eriksen or Sanchez
Any ideas would be welcomed
Morata
abraham
Haz
Lukaku
Murray
Hazard
Morata
Niasse
Hazard.
If you pick Hazard then maybe Lukaku. Though I would try to find some other way to get ManU coverage, maybe with Rashford or Pogba and Jones of course. Lazafette could be good differential and he should be main striker in Arsenal with penalties and he is still out of form. But bcs of Wenger I would still stay away from him. Ramsey is the best choice from Arsenal.
Morata
Niasse
Haz
There is not always an absolute answer to these comparisons, it depends on: budget, formation, form, fixtures, advanced position they are playing and whether you will double up on some teams.
But to give you concrete answer, assuming yoiu have Kane and get Morata, I wouldn't pick Hazard or Eriksen. Eriksen playing deeper and hazard yet to find his touch (plus azpi links up with Morata better at the moment).
Lukaku
DCL
Hazard
And play 352
Fab • Elliot
Otamendi • Luiz • VVD • Ward • Wimmer
Salah • Sterling • Richarlison • RLC • TC
Kane • Morata • Vardy
1ft, 2.5itb
Assuming Luiz gets his place back,
A. VVD + Vardy ➡️ Daniels + Lukaku for -4
B. VVD + Vardy ➡️ 4.5m def + Kun for -4
C. VVD ➡️ Daniels and get Lukaku free next week
D. VVD ➡️ 4.5m def and get Kun free next week
Thats a very bold assumption
I would remove Luiz straight away
Better have playing players than non playing
Otamendi is suspended and Luiz is having a row with conte, I would choose to focus on your defence instead 🙂
please RMWCT
De gea
Api Jones Mee Daniels
Hazard Richar Chopo Salah
Kane Jesus
subs. pereria, dunk, rlc, niasse 0.1 itb
If i was on a WC, I would definitely choose to go with Man city mids instead of their forwards. Cheaper and less likely rotated. Hence, I would ditch Hazard in favour of Morata. But thats my opinion 🙂
You need kun.
No he doesnt.
Kun is a good option but no one NEEDS him.
Jammer Pieter.
We NEED Kane though, right?
🙂
Kun who???
7/10
choupo hazad jesus potential lowlights
defense solid
Replies much appreciated! 🙂
Any suggestions on who to change chopo, hazard, jesus to?
Thoughts on the wc draft pls lads ?
Ddg elliot
Azpi Jones Daniels mee tarkowski
Salah sane sterling richarlison RLC
Kane morata niasse/4.5
Any advice appreciated. Cheers
Decent
Double burnley and double united in defence? Could work. I would look into switching DDG to Pope and one of their defenders to maybe a spurs defender (Vertongen would be my pick) if possible. Also, Niasse is not nailed on. Other than that, looks good!
Looks good what advice do you need lol??
I'd say its just a chance to brag :))
It must be good, It's close to my team. 🙂
11 of them same as mine. Only difference is tark mee daniels niasse for my bdavies trippier Duffy quaner.
Thanks to this forum and at times my instincts this season i am flying high. Long may it continue!
Rank?
LOL
Formality post or genuine one? 😛
Haha. You know it mate
Want to have sane and Daniels but short by 0.1.
My defense is Monreal,mee, naughton, Schindler, otamendi
I am considering moreno. Is anyone worth considering between 4.5 to 4.7?
Plenty.
Duffy, Burnley double up, Moreno.
In that order, for me.
Already have pope, might consider Moreno. But worth a hit?
Not worth a hit.
On WC.
1) Moreno
2) Duffy
2
what would you do with this team ? specially rooney
elliot krul
alonso walker jones daniels moreno
salah silva rlc 4.4 4.4
kane kun rooney
2.4 itb
1 ft
my current plan is to to (rooney + alonso) to ( morata + bailly) and after 3 weeks replace bailly with spurs defender
any better suggestion ??
Do not sell Alonso.
Do not sell Alonso.
Think I'd just get the Spurs defender and save the future transfer. Will Bailly outscore Vert by more than 4pts over the next 3, I think it could be close
Think if you went cheaper than Bailly i.e. Mee or Duffy then you'd have a bit in the bank to upgrade one of your 4.4 mids the next week. At least then you have the option of playing 3-4-3 if necessary plus you'll have a stronger bench?
I'd have to think about it a bit but have to run now, however for this week you're fine 'n dandy even Roon may chip in against Palace. Good Luck. 🙂
Cedric, Silver, Vardy to Daniels, Zaha & Morata? yay or nay
Yay for 1 hit, for 2 hits it needs more consideration
just for a -4
I would do it for -4 only if I had another City attacker.
I have sterling
Go for it.
Yes
Keep Long John.
City defs sure went out of fashion fast
Yep, their appeal dropped like a Stones
They have issues, but otta mendy them soon.
Fabianski
Bellerin Jones Alonso
Salah KDB Eriksen Ritchie
Abraham Lukaku Firmino
Elliot Carroll Cedric Tuanzabe
Should I do Eriksen > Mane who could be explosive or is that too much Liverpool?
Is it more sensible to do Cedric > Ake or Daniels and bench Ritchie?
You don't have any other Spirs so should probably keep Eriksen, do the Cedric to Daniels move and bench Ritchie
Mane though against his old club at home or the inconsistent Eriksen away at Arsenal?
I prefer Mane long term and would say go for it if you had Kane but seems risky to go with no Spurs, they have good fixtures and are always among the leagues highest scorers
Morning DZ - thoughts appreciated:
A. Duffy
B. Dunk
C. Moreno
Pope Elliot
Jones Stones Ward Wimmer
A
A.
On WC.
1) Duffy
2) Dunk + 0.1 itb
Duffy
Duffy 2 yellows away from suspension, Dunk 3 but if they both get a suspension before Christmas, it's pure luck who your 1st sub will be facing.
I went for Duffy because of his goal threat
Dunk goal threat similar? Much better accuracy.
Thanks, mate 🙂 Think I go for Duffy, still cheap
Ahh man just realised no scout cast, usually gets me throu wednesdays at work! Argh iB sucks!
slightly annoyed by Sterling withdrawal
can't decide if that means he has more chance of starting Leicester match or whether he'll now be saved for one after
No real change there! Slightly different circumstance this time but we're always trying to work out whether he'll start or not. I've given up trying and just keeping him in there.

Good read on how expected goals are shaping up so far this season
