Paul We delve into the Opta data now with our usual post-Gameweek members’ article, focusing on a case of standout performers across the previous round of fixtures.
Arsenal’s attack comes under scrutiny ahead of favourable festive fixtures, while Chelsea’s midfield man of the moment puts in another outstanding shift.
We also check out Man City’s super-sub, the Potters’ playmaker and the impact of Claude Puel on Jamie Vardy’s goal potential.
Kiko or Zeegelaar?
Kiko for the more secure pick.
Zee if you fancy a bit of a punt.
looking back at zeegelaar's history before coming to the prem ,he was a bit of a card magnet , & he has already picked up two in last four games , so zeeg maybe punty but it could be a bumpy ride
Interesting. Thanks for this. Kiko for me then..
tbh I would go for kabasele of all watford defenders , he scored 2 in 700 mins of play last year & 2 in last five games , Kiko done 1 assist all season
Kiko has 9 baps. Thats 3 assists worth and he has a great cross on him, he will get more assists. He's just more fun to own imo
Kiko looks far more attacking but goals/assists are not there yet. Even without attacking points, he is a bonus magnet. He is also a more assured starter with Holebas is a serious threat for Zeegelaar. If you can afford the extra 0.2, I would suggest Kiko.
I don't think Holebas is any more a threat to Zeeg than Janmaat is to Kiko. Holebas hasn't even been named in the squad lately, something must have happened.
Was he injured? Not sure though, so don't quote me on that
No injury has been reported.
Cheers, my bad. Not sure where I heard that from then!
Wasn't injured. Silva brought Zeeg in from the Portuguese so he must just favour him over Holebas.
Ah I see, cheers! Not sure where I heard about an injury then... Might be confusing with Mariappa!
thanks everyone!
Play Loftus Cheek or Richarlison this week? Don't want to bench Rich really, but feel that if I'm not playing RLC this week at home to Bournemouth, then when am I?
Play Richarlison. 100%.
Don't think about it that way. Play Richarlison, he's way more dangerous.
Even away to Burnley??
I’d play Loftus.
Is using 2 FTs to go Silva to Alonso worth it long term?
Yes, imo.
Nice to get the opinion of a FFS heavyweight. Cheers, Chappers.
Cheers Virg, likewise. Great gw score btw.
No, in my opinion. Still think that Silva have a value
Who else is involved?
Would you change anything for this GW?
Ryan
Tarkowski Azpilicueta Daniels
Gross Salah Coutinho Richarlison Ramsey
Firmino Morata
bench: Elliot Wilson Mustafi Otamendi
WC this?
Pope
Azpi, Kolasinac, Ward
Salah, Sterling, Groß, Richarlison
Morata, Kane, Vardy
Elliot, RLC, Daniels, Mariappa
1FT, 0.2 ITB
Nope. Just need to ditch Vardy at the moment.
No, keep all. Vardy have nice next 3 fixtures
Want Hazard 🙁
U cant have them all. A WC for just one player is not a good thing. Maybe the best move for you is to save that WC a little bit longer and use it when Spurs approach DGW and then get Hazard and how many Spurs players u want.
I am saying this coz your team looks just fine and thats what I would do but if you feel that Hazard is that much "must have" player than go for it. I dont think that any player is "a must have" to do WC just for him
U allready have 2 chelsea players, a really good one
Vardy to Firmino?
See how many minutes Firmino gets tomorrow night first.
Yes.
I wouldn't sell Vardy before Newcastle, especially as he's nailed on while Firmino is prone to rotation over this period.
No
Any suggestion here? 2ft .6 itb
Pope Elliot
Kola Mee Magu Daniels Hume
Salah Sane Richo Gross RLC
Kane Jesus Morata
Bring in Hazard somehow
Play two
A) Daniels (cry)
B) RLC (BOU)
C) Moreno (EVE)
D) Shaqiri (tot)
AB
Tricky, B and D probably
RLC and Shaqiri
BD
BD
Thanks all!
Aguero & Fernandinho >> Hazard & 7.0 Fwd (-4)
Other forwards Morata & Kane
Yes or No ??
Thanks
Yay
Yes
Bench 2
A) Ota
B) Mee
C) Chupo
D) Kiko
E) Fernandez
I don’t really see Watford not scoring but currently benching A & C
Easier to answer if you give fixtures also.
A) Ota (mun)
B) Mee (WAT)
C) Chupo (tot)
D) Kiko (bur)
E) Fernandez (WBM)
I'm not keen on benching Ota. Strong goal threat, Jose may park the bus, Pogba is out.
Yeah it’s tough this week
Yeah I'm having similar trouble picking my XI. Just gonna go with my gut and hope for the best.
Think I’m benching Mee and Chupo.
How's this WC looking? 0.1ITB
DDG Speroni
Christensen Otamendi Zeeg Kenny Mee
Sterling Hazard Salah Richarlison RLC
DLC Kane Morata
I like it
Very good. But very template. All non wildcarders have this same team too.
Nice. Hard to fault!!
Otamendi, Daniels, Mee, Moreno, Naughton.
Struggling to decide which 3 to play...
First 3
Ota Moreno Naughton
Current team -
Foster
Kolasniac, Daniels, Mee
Hazard, Salah, Richarlison, RLC
Jesus, Kane, Morata
Subs - Elliot, Carroll, Dunk, Hun
0.0 ITB, 2 FT
I'm thinking Jesus to Calvert-Lewin and then Carroll to Sane/Sterling?
Probably Sane.... might see if he drops furhter
Thoughts?
best striker for 7.0 or less?
thanks
Quaner. 😉
G2G? Anything worth a hit? 0.2 ITB
DDG
Alonso, Mustafi, Mee
Salah, Hazard, Shaqiri, Richarlison, RLC
Kane, Morata
Elliot, Daniels, Moreno, Niasse
Nope. Even if Mustafi is out you have adequate cover on the bench. Good to go.
Daniels over Mee for me.
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening, all.
I love the little wind down for Christmas I have, gives me much more spare time to over-think my team and make ridiculous decisions. Like the one below;
Next week, -4...
Elliot > Pickford
Daniels > Kiko
Abraham > DCL
Pickford isn't worth it. Other two moves are OK, but not for a -4.
Doesn’t look all that ridiculous to me. Enjoy it x
No for me
Happy birthday today to former FPL legend and Northern Ireland Hero, Mr Gareth McAuley. Big 38 today. 😀 😎
How nailed is Christensens spot?
Which Combo would you take for next 5 games?
A) Otamendi + Christensen
B) Kiko + Azpi
B
even with Azpi's new centre half role?
He still gets into crossing positions.
Hazard or Kane for Captain?
If Hazard plays full minutes tonight, Kane.
What if Kane plays tomorrow? :/
That would be suicidal.
He might but I doubt hell play full minutes. Either way, Spurs are far behind in the league and theyre playing Stoke which arent so easy to beat, so Kane has to play on the weekend. On the other hand, Hazard or Sane have a chance of being rotated if they play full minutes.
If they're not rotated at the weekend it'll probable come in the midweek game. Can see Morata also being rotated along with Salah, Mane, Firmino, Coutinho, Sterling so not much we can do.
Kane captain is looking the safest bet this weekend though
Hazard. Has form and fixtures. For Kane, has fixtures but spurs have no form. I’d be happy to just get the points if he explodes and forget about getting double that points.
Salah
Any transfer suggestions or G2G?
Fabianski
Alonso Otamendi Mustafi Daniels
Richarlison Hazard Gross Sane
Morata Kane
Pope Mee RLC Niasse
2FT 0.3itb
Daniels to Moreno / Kiko
I am doing this to Moreno
Ederson(Elliot)
Kiko-Daniels-Cristensen(Mee,3.9)
Sterling-Salah-Hazard-Richarlison(RLC)
Morata - Kane - Abraham
2fts
0.7 itb
How to improve team ?
Ederson to DDG
a) De Gea Speroni Christensen
b) Hennessey Speroni Alonso
On one hand I've never owned Alonso and always wanted to and never been a huge believer in expensive keepers, plus Palace have some decent fixtures. On the other, a) seems to give more balance. Thoughts?
B for me. But I am not a big expensive keeper lover.
DDG may be the exception this year though.
I feel I may just be well ahead of my time. Chicarito is an excellent pick for the 3rd striker spot from GW18.
A solid performance at City does not take away the fact that WH are absolutely woeful.
Doubt I'll have any WHU players for the DGW.
Adrian and Lanzini for me as it stands
2 points from Adrian, 4 from Lanzini.
Compared to what Pope and RLC will get, it's worth the risk. Don't be such a bore, it's a dgw. Look what Stoke did in theirs last season.
Watch how they perform with their star goalscorer and Moyes has his poacher back and fit.
Surely Hart will be in goal...!?
Eh
Play which
Mariappa (bur)
Moreno (EVE)
Moreno
Probaby Moreno
Moreno
Excellent thanks
Moreno
Xx
Hi all, little help if possible? I've one free transfer and 1.3 ITB. for a -4 hit, I could squeeze in DCL and Ramsey, replacing Wood and Surman... these two moves leave me with 0.0 ITB... worth doing before price rises/falls means its not possible?
Price rises with these players won't be happening before Thursday night at the VERY earliest. Wait till the European games are all finished
Thanks!
Why replace Surman? Perfect fifth mid
You're right, I also have Tom Carroll who more urgently needs shifting.
Those moves are not worth a hit
Thanks, I'll just wait that little longer to somehow get Ramsey in. I feel like he is essential and great value, but this weekend away to Saints is a tricky fixture.
Current frontline.....Kane Morata Aguero
It's time to ditch Aguero I feel. Who is the best replacement?
Chicarito
Really.....he is the last FW I thought someone would suggest. Chelsea and Arsenal next up too is a no no for me
I can’t wait to get him in week 18 for me but you can get ahead of the wave
But based on Europe minutes probably DCL then upgrade mids
Ya this is what I'm contemplating or maybe even Firmino. My problem with DCL is rotation with Niasse.
2 ft.
Does Sane + Fosu > Ramsey + Vertonghen (anyone up to 6.4m) sound good?
Vertonghen not good value. spurs are leaky without Toby and Jan carries no goal threat.
Which 2 to play this week?
1) RLC(vs Bournemouth)
2) Jones(vs City)
3) Gomez(vs Everton)
4) Mee(vs Watford)
1324
Interesting.
Currently i am on 3412, totally different.
