The men in black have been a prominent talking point leading up to Gameweek 13 after Everton’s Oumar Niasse become the first player to be handed a two-match ban for a ‘Successful Deception of a Match Official’.
As featured in the first iteration of our members’ Men in Black article last week, though, Anthony Taylor – the referee who awarded the Toffees’ spot-kick against Crystal Palace – had previous when it came to awarding penalties.
Haz in?
I think so... it should be good fun owning both for the next 5 weeks
How do you expect people to give a good enough answer to that without sharing your team?
His team is linked.
Next week
I am, ditching Eriksen for him next week.
Have you prepared your Kane exit plan?
5 in midfield is calling... but why Kane exit plan, is he injured??
Never owned Kane 😉
Not enough Calvert Lewin mentions on here imo. he's featured in every single prem game so far, even more nailed due to Niasse ban and his stats are very decent for 5m
He got a mention on the scoutcast - is my fantasy island risk this gwk.
Looks good, as you say, due to niasse ban - also because sou are really awful at home.
This week only
Haz or Richarlison
Kun or Wilson
I'm really 2 secs away from Wilson and Rich and then hazard next week
The ones that are 2 of the best players in the league.
Arguably -
Liverpool are good defensively at home so Richarlison. And Lun doesn't play anymore so Wilson
That's about where I'm at, Kun to be rested after CL for midweek
Kun is a nightmare, I had to sell him
Probably nothing in it, but would you start...
A) Moreno (CHE), in a team that’s already kept out Arsenal and MU at home, one goal total conceded
B) Murray (mun), the attacker, but perhaps no shot at Brighton scoring against MU.
a
a
Murray
Surprising question after watching Moreno the other day. Chelsea is in form with Kanye back, GL
Utd look a bit dodgy at the back recently & it would be typical of Murray to nick a goal.
What lidleof doesn't inspire confidence?
Hoping Jones is back so Lindelol does not get near the pitch
Morata ain't gonna rise tonight right?
Alice Campello might be able to help you with that one
I'll tweet her later
Nope he's only on 32%
http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/
Thanks
If he scores v pool I'd say his price will go up rapidly next few weeks. If Chelsea click, with those fixtures, Haz & Morata will easily go up +1.0 between them in a few GW's
I'm really struggling for players this week. My team is:
0FT 0.4ITB
Elliot Foster
Alonso Otamendi Jones* Lowe* Mbemba*
Salah Sane Sterling* Richarlison Carroll
Kane Morata Wilson
Are there any changes you'd make for a hit?
Did you bring in Wilson early with your FT? Tough to see anything with a hit in your price range. Playing 10 won’t be too bad for a week. Jones > Mustafi is reasonable.
Yep I thought Jones would be fit for this week but it's looking unlikely now
Southampton (EVE) or Swansea(BOU) most likely to keep a clean sheet this week?
none but Southampton
play the swans defender imo
dropping kane allows for a huge upgrade in midfield and defence but who to drop him for?
Niasse! But after his 2 game ban
callum wilson
Lukaku or Lacazette (if he starts all PL games).
But I doubt I’ll be selling Kane before GW15/16 and that also if he doesn’t perform.
Jones out for
A) Otamendi
B) Vertonghen
C) Kola
??
Daniels, Moreno, Mee, Dann if going cheap... Alonso or Azpi if going expensive
Forgot to say I already have Ward, Azpi, Duffy, Hunemeier
Surely it's better to ship hunemier then? Jones could be back at the weekend or midweek & he's a 6.5 def for 5.0... hunemier is just a dead slot in your squad!
Best week to make the Silva to Pogba move?
Also do we think Silva starts next 3 PL games or a rest for one of the home games?
But he’ll probaly be rested for CL and can start the next 3 easily.
Probably
Thinking Silva to Pogba for the derby. But they might be the same price by then.
I liked silva a lot better with KDB deep
I'll be v interested to see if Pogba starts Utd's next 2 league games.. if he does that's 4 games in 10 days after an 8 week layoff, surely not even Jose is that reckless with a player's fitness?
Yeah why did he play CL...?
No idea, bizarre decision imo
Fabianski
Bellerin Jones Alonso
Salah KDB Eriksen Ritchie
Abraham Lukaku Firmino
Elliot Ake Carroll Tuanzabe
Jones/Eriksen > Otamendi/Sane worth a -4? Have exact money for this.
Or is there something better I should look at?
No that looks good
Murray to Wilson??
Probably
Yes I did
Waiting for that mee rise since forever.......
Elliot
Cedric - Maguire - Daniels
hazard - richarlison - sterling - salah
Kane - Abraham(!) - Firmino
Pope - RLC- Wimmer - Stones(!)
1.9itb 1ft
what would you do...?
A) Stones > Alonso (next week after pool) uses up budget so weak forward line
B) abraham > wilson
thanks!
What do people think of these transfers from next week:
Eriksen to Hazard
Silva to Sane
Not sure on getting rid of Eriksen, but will still have Kane up top.
I like. Though I'd prioritise a Liverpool mid over Hazard.
This is a good point, it would be lovely to fit Coutinho, Haz, Salah, Richarlison, Groß, Pogba into a midfield, but 6 into 5 doesn't go & I think Salah is more important than Coutinho!
Already have Salah. Midfield would be Salah, Sane, Hazard, Choupo and RLC. Would love to find an extra couple of million to get Pogba as well
Took my first hit of the season to bring magic beans in my starting line up 😎
who?
Loftus cheek
Think I have come to the conclusion that it's worth taking a -4 to upgrade Sterling to Sane.
Which 4.7 or less defender should I replace Jones with to fund the move? Looking at medium-term fixtures, nailed-on etc.
Morgan/Simpson?
Dann?
A second Burnley defender?
Dunk/Duffy?
Current defence is: Azpi, Mee, Jones, Naughton and Mbemba.
Dann is the favourite here.
Maybe dunk or Simpson
Dann
Dann
Thanks all - much appreciated.
Quite surprised by the consensus - and reassured too. Feels like a leap of faith with Dann, but the mixture of fixtures, attacking threat and an improving team all point to potential value....
Play Monreal or RLC?
Monreal
Cheers CFM
Best defender for 5.7m? A Spurs option?
0.1 more for otamendi
mustafi?
DDG
Azpi Otamendi Ward
Salah **** Richarlison ****
Kane Morata Abraham
elliot Yedlin Dunk Carroll
A) Silva + Pogba
B) Hazard + Choupo
Sane over any of those options
Will get Sane for Silva later.
sane + xxx
Can do Abraham to Niasse and then Silva to Sane later. So A)?
pick one
a.kaku
b. kun +4
A
Kun + 4... if he doesnt start then he will v Southampton! super captain pick...
would you rather have Mustafi or Otamendi?(Jones replacement) and why please?
Otamendi more cs potential
thats not exactly correct, mustafi has gotten a cs in all but 1 of the games hes played in......
Ota because in the next 3 he will keep 3 clean sheets.Mustafi will keep 2.
ok cheers.... mustafi cheaper though
Otamendi. CS and attacking potential.
very conclusive, cheers guys!
@ André94PT
Any thoughts on good attack vs defence matchups this week based on your analysis?
Thanks
I think those city boys may do ok
city united spurs
Any chance Mou says Jones is fit tomorrow?
most replacements dont look like they will change in price tonight so we can wait and see thankfully! if hes out(which he is) what will you do?
Mustafi -4. I know its for a hit but at least hes nailed and I will need every nailed player for the busy period
How is your team looking right now bro?
Fabianski / Elliot
Otamendi / Davies / Moreno / Mee / Yedlin
Benching Fabianski, Mee and Yedlin. Is this the correct choice?
Moreno should be third sub. Play Mee and Fabianski
Is sane a much better option than pogba?
Pogba let me upgrade kolasinac or ota to alonso
Yes.
G2G? On WC and 0.1 ITB. Wilson and Otamendi better than Niasse and Alonso?
DDG
Alonso, Mustafi, Daniels
Salah, Sane (VC), Pogba, Richarilison, RLC
Kane (C), Morata
Elliot, Mee, Moreno, Niasse
Prefer it as it is. Nice team
Thanks. Niasse can sit on bench
DDG > Pope, Mustafi > Otamendi?
I want little bit United defence :>
nice team!
looks good
My team will hopefully look very similar next week nice team!
Best Lascelles Replacement? 1FT 0.5itb
Have Smalling,Mee,Naughton,Simpson as my other defs
Cheers
Daniels
Chances of Aguero starting this week? That Huddersfield fixture looks too tasty
impossible to call
True. Wouldn't be so bothered as long as he got minutes but he didn't even come on last game!
I really hope he starts but can't see it
6 years, 6 months agoI’ve got Morata, but shall I find a way to get
