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.
Ben Mee haul INCOMING
\o/
This!
Van Aanholt to Everton in the new year?
Would be a win win situation I think. Still not sure he'd be great value unless they keep improving, a lot.
2 ft, 1.0 itb
DDG
Azpi Ward Mee Daniels
Hazard Gross Salah Richarl
Morata Kane
Bench: Elliot Mariappa Ayew TCarroll
Any bright ideas here? My original plan was to upgrade defensive options, bring in Kolasinac, at the expense of Gross. Perhaps I should just upgrade the bench instead???
Honestly, I'm stumped
Cash in on Ward this week and Daniels to a Watford wing back next week.
I like the Kola option. Otherwise I'd upgrade Carrol if possible
At the moment I'm thinking,
Ward > Kola
Daniels > Kiko
That will leave me with: Azpi Kola Kiko Mee Mariappa
2 Watford defensive options though....
I think 2 Watford defenders is acceptable in that situation as you'll always play one of Mee or Kiko with Mariappa on bench. He seems the most nailed cheap def currently so can nearly make more of a case for double Watford with him than double burnley. In saying that I'd be more comfortable playing like that with a better 5th mid than carrol and 3rd forward than Ayew
Thanks!
Next week, possible moves, mini WC for -4;
Pope > DDG
Daniels > Kiko
Abraham > DCL/Quaner
Was going to go Elliot > Pickford, but not sure 100% sure on that move.
This will be my first season with a premium GK - feel dirty...
Pope to DDG can wait after the next!! do the remaining two for No hits!
I'd do the 3 moves you suggested but try and wait so no hit.
Pope to DeGea not worth the -4. Jones probably won't play if he plays the Derby. Pope has Stoke at home I think
I prefer the Elliot to Pickford move and rotate Pickford and Pope I think.
Not sure what Jones has to do with anything?
Me neither to be honest. I thought I wrote that in a different comment. I'm tired.
Rotating keepers like that can cause you more grief than anything else.
Watford fixtures looking quite good over the next few gameweeks, so I understand that move completely
I would like to get Kolasinac for these fine fixtures, but I am worried that I might be putting too much in my defense then. Chopo has to go but I am not sure where to beef up.
Does the team become to back heavy?
2FT 0,2 itb
DDG
Alonso - Daniels - Moreno
Hazard - Salah - Sterling - Richarlison
Morata - Firmino - DCL
Elliot Chopo-Moting Jones Dann
I was thinking either
A Chopo-Moting + Jones > RLC and Kolasinac, or
B C-M + Dann > Claudio Yacob and Kolasinac
C C-M + Dann > RLC and Monreal/Otamendi
If you've kept Jones til now, you might as well retain.
I'd prefer that, yes.
C for me. Would give a solid kaneless team
Thank you, Gazetta 🙂
DCL seemingly the best budget striker at the moment?
Austin or Wood are better shouts for me, but DCL is a great enabler.
Yes. Hard for Big Sam to bench him when he is in this kind of form
Wood imo.
Looks that way. Can't go wrong for that price with the consistent game time he's getting and seems to be getting reasonable returns
If Kane blanks again next week (I'll probably still keep for another week), is Lacazette the best replacement?
If he blanks again I will most likely downgrade to Vardy or Firmino and pump money into midfield.
This
Will make it difficult to get him back when he hauls. Don't they have a double gameweek in only 3 weeks?
Ye, he will finish top 3 in the Top Goalscorers this season.
I'll be downgrading to Firmino and upgrading RLC to Coutinho for a few weeks
Don’t see anyone as a good replacement for Kane that’s my problem
I am keeping for this week too and then either keeping or getting rid for Lacazette.
If I lost Kane it would only be for an in form nailed Aguero
2FT and 0.0ITB
Fabianski
Otamendi Daniels Monreal
D.Silva GroB Salah Richarlison
Jesus Kane Vardy
Elliot T.Carroll Mee Jones**
Want to do Jesus to Morata but that leaves me 0.4 short.
Do I:
A. Ship Jones to?
B. Ship Ota to?
C. Ship Monreal to?
Wouldn't do A/B or C.
Will Daniels to Kiko get the dollar?
Nope, 0.1 short.
Daniels > Moreno
Daniels - Zee
I think it's worth it. He could be a great option if continued to play but even if he doesn't your defence is pretty solid. Slightly risky but one you have back up for
Best use of this FT pls? thnx
the heart wants to go austin just for kicks, but still...
1 Jesus - Play him, hope he has min 45 minuts for a goal/assist and save ft
2 Jesus > Lacaz
3 Jesus > Wilson
4 Jesus > Diouf
5 Jesus > DCL
6 Jesus > Sir Charlie Austin
7. > Firmino
Not sure you need to repeat Jesus 6 times.
I'd hold
KAne has scored 6 goals in last 3 games vs stoke
Guess I know where my money is next GW...Might well be a differential captain at current rate of rage transfers
He had scored loads in the last matches against previous opponents too. Doesn't change the fact he and his team mates are off form.
Precisely.
He's not off form. People just have way too high expectations when he comes with that price tag. If he scores a hattrick against Stoke he will be on 100 points.
Spurs' form in general is somewhat of a concern, but that can quickly change.
Bench 2 of this sorry lot!

This GTG?

(S)alah (EVE) RLC (BOU) Hazard (whu) Silva (mun) Richarlison (bur)
Kane (STK) Morata (whu)
Elliot Abraham (WBA) Mariappa (bur) Ward (WAT)
Yeah. I'd place Ward ahead of Mariappa due to the home advantage. Otherwise it looks nice. I am not sure how good picks the city mids will be in the next 3, but it probably isn't worth a hit.
Gained an aversion after last couple of weeks to double up on BUR defence hence Mariappa. Plan next week is silva > Ramsey. Like that?
Yeah, I think that move can pay off. Then again, Silva has swansea next week.
Looking forward to The Scoutcast later, guys. 🙂
Typical, I took Jones out last night for Otamendi after losing patience with his fitness.
Now I see his flag has changed to 50% chance of playing
He'll be lucky to play 3 games over the next 3weeks so don't be too hard on yourself. He should have left your team sooner to be honest
I know Pep, was prioritising attacking changes
Won’t play much over Christmas anyway
My girlfriend is going into labour!
I am on the train home to take her to the hospital.
...so as I had half an hour to kill, I thought I would check my team before I get distracted for the next 18 years. Transferred Tom Carroll for Ashley Young last night.
Gomes
Trippier, duffy, mee
Hazard (vc), salah, sterling, groß
Kane (c) morata, wilson
Elliot, young, otamendi, clark
Won't be checking it again this week. 1ft amd 0.2 itb. All good?
Forget about it. You have more important matters. Best of luck to you both. Congratulations..
But what about my reserve keeper!?
Sounds like you have a keeper at home....
BUD DUM DUM DUSH...
fpl > having a kid
How the hell is Fantasy Football on your mind at a time like this...
Just flicking between this and parenting/nhs/birth info websites!
There can be a lot of waiting, our first took two days after the missus first went into labour. So it's good to have something to while away the time.
Team looks good I would save.
Looks fine. He’s wishes to you both have a wonderful time
Best**
Congratulations!! A personal punt of mine but I'd be tempted to do Austin for Wilson with the 0.2 you have ITB!
Really tough to find a transfer here. 2 FTs....
Abraham has a good fixtures this week, and so does RLC (Who starts over choupo). Have 0.8 ITB so can't do a straight choupo> richarlison swap so going to do it next week.
Ideally would want to use 1ft to get the extra 0.3 for choupo > rich next week, but can get it by downgrading abraham next week.
Gomes (Elliot)
Kola Naughton Moreno (otamendi)
Salah RLC Hazard Sterling
Kane Abraham Morata
See what DCL is up to them do him > Abe
I'm getting rid next week - he has a decent fixture as you say.
I'd take Kane straight out, but controversial I guess
Naughton out imo
for?. was thinking maybe kola out for christenen
That sounds good. Kola suffering from Sanchez. Kola doesn't get that much forward when Sanchez is on the pitch
Naughton to Kiko maybe?
Who’s your other defender
some 3.9 guy who starts with h
I'd do Abraham to DCL this week and save the other trade for getting Richarlison. Could start Otamendi if you don't like Everton chances of scoring against Liverpool
Kun to Lacazette, which allows two City mids next week ... thoughts?
Hell to the No.
would you say to the why, please?
1 City mid is enough, and Kane is Kane.
I think there has been a misunderstanding ... I am thinking of selling Kun, not Kane ... I don't even own Kane
Oh God Dammit. Ignore me .
No probs, Badger ... would you like to give me your opinion on transferring Kun anyway?
Yes.
Thanks Doos ... I think having, say, Sterling and Sane in mid, and Laca upfront, will outscore Kun + just Sane and a cheap mid
Fine. Me? I would have Coutinho instead of Sane. 🙂
I'll consider that , thanks
This!! 🙂
Thinking the same. Just I don't have any other City player atm. Imo United need to attack and win the game so Aguero might get some counterattack scoring changes...
There is always that risk ... wait for 2 fts and get a City mid at the same time?
Best cheap mid punt before I WC next week?
Lingard.
Against City?
Not for me
Suit yourself. 🙂
This
Zaha
Good shout
Gross at Hud?
If only Saints had better fixtures, I'd be all over Austin like a stinkin' rash.
(Strictly analogical sense)
Any suggestions Please.
DDG
Alonso - Daniels - Moreno
Shaqiri - Hazard (c) - Salah - Gross - Milivojevic
Aguero - Kane
Speroni, Dunk, Mee, Niasse
2FT 0.1 Itb
No sure what to do? Maybe downgrade Daniels to Femenia/Kenny/ChilwellSimpson etc.
Thank you
For the love of God get rid of Milivojevic.
Daniels to Femenia next week
Mili to rlc?
Milivojevic is on set pieces and penalties and he is my differential. Might as well ship him out but not big difference between him and 4.5 midfielders. prob going to bench him anyway.
Then to RLC and bank the profit.
What's the point of a 5m midfielder on the bench, and if RLC keeps playing or scores, he'll rise.
True. Milivojevic is 4.6 atm and maybe he is going to raise bit easier if he hauls as he is 0.4 below his starting price. Thank you anyway. Milivojevic has been my WC punt hasn't scored but neither has anyone else in that price bucket (Hughes maybe) Thank you anyway.
Coutois
Otamendi Azpi ward
Sane Salah Ramsey Gross
Kane Morata Murray
Elliot | Mcarthur Jones Mbema
Need to change anyone or save for this week?
Save looks good
rmt?
Pope - Elliot
Alonso - Duffy - Naughton - Kola - Morgan
Coutinho - Stephens - RLC - Salah - Richarlison
Kane - Vardy - Hakuna Morata
Naughton to a watford defender?
Possibly the plan for next week, though might wait and do Pope to Gomes
Bench 1 this week
A. Moreno (EVE)
B. Daniels (cpl)
C. Mee (WAT)
D. Maguire (new)
E. Rlc (BOU)
D
Cheers for reply... the weird thing was I was not even gonna put maguire on the list 🙂
Given only next 3 fixt, gametime, and Form, who will probably score more pts? thnx
1 Jesus mnu / swa / TOT
2 Lacaz sou / whu / NEW
3 Vardy new / sou / CRY
4 Firmino EVE / WBA / bou
3 imo. Jesus rotation risk, Lacaz will get hauled at 70-75 like most weeks. Firm goes long spells without scoring then hauls, then repeats.
was leaning firm w/ home games. not sure yet. liverpool clicking more also than lei
Firm drifts wide so often, especially when both Mane and Salah play. Just doesn't convince me at all that he's worth the money
Also, Lei been playing well the last 3-4 games. Very well
Laca or Firmino. Probably Firmino.
cheers both thin k defo its btn firm and vardy. gun ag the head think firm just because pool is so freaking awesome when rolling. even if firm stays to the side.
Should I do Kolasinac to Monreal to free up some cash?
best defender 5.2 or under?
Burnley? Daniels? Sakho? Maguire?
Maguire a good shout. Will notch soon I reckon
Mee
Any ideas on what to do with 2fts & 0.6 in bank?
Was thinking of Daniels to Christensen. Maybe Elliot out.
Fab
Daniels, Maguire, Moreno,
Hazard, Salah, Rich, Gross
Kane, Morata, Vardy
Elliot, RLC, Ward, Duffy
Fingers crossed there's a helpful crowd out there...
Fabianski (Elliot)
Naughton Mee Daniels (Mustafi, Mariappa)
Richarlison Zaha KDB Salah (RLC)
Morata Vardy Kane
I had a really good week followed by a really bad week (i.e. no Hazard) but feel like the team is (or was) pretty well balanced - what do we reckon?
A) KDB + Mustafi --> Hazard + Moreno (-4)
B) Save FT and re-assess next week
Bank
I like the hit if you are sure you want to stick with Kane.
If you bank the transfer and Kane blanks vs Stoke you could easily do Kane & RLC/Zaha to Hazard and cheaper striker.
Anyone know when Fonte is due back? Thinking of getting Ogbonna and Adrian in the lead up to the dgw. West Hams fixtures are quite tasteful after that and at their price, they're easy to perma-bench if it doesn't work out
I don't understand your comment. How do you make the writing green?
I would stay away. They are doomed
See what the next few gameweeks have in store but look how Palace and Everton have turned things around lately. Anything can happen. Like I said, they can be perma-benched after the double
Working towards this team - any opinions on it?
Pope, Speroni
Alonso, Kolasinac, Otamendi, Moreno, Mee
Hazard, Salah, Coutinho, Sterling, Ramsey
Morata, DCL, Niasse
Way too bottom heavy imo. You'll be left scrambling when Lukaku / Kane hit form. And I think that's a case of when rather than if
i don't think that frontline should be worked toward.
Work away from that team I'd say.
