Paul We delve into the Opta data next, rolling out our usual post-Gameweek members’ article.
Both Merseyside clubs play a part in our assessment, while we also check out the contrasting fortunes from West Ham and Watford’s goal scoring midfielders.
Southampton’s in-form frontman is also among our featured players, as is a certain Man City wide man after a weekend return to the scoresheet.
Anyone concerned Masuaku played full 90 tonight?
Looking to bring him in this week.
I don't think you worry about WHU def rotation (as an Ogbonna owner). They are playing for everything currently
Ahh Ogbonna just seems the sensible choice with a bit of added goal threat even... but I just can't bring myself to do it with the upside to Masuaku 😀
Ogbonna has scored 2 league goals in his career.
Scored 2 goals this season.
I got Ogbonna at 4.3 but I heard he went up so I think masuaku is a good option. the way I look at it:
Ogbonna - baseline bonus
Masuaku - flair move
Don't think they have too many options atm.
I think Cresswell is being overlooked
He's a bit more though and plays at LCB, bit of Baines about him still
He’s the Rolls Royce of West Ham defenders as jonty puts it
A) Kdb
B) Sane + money
Toughie, Sane if you also have another mid from city, if not invest cash in upgrade of someone else to sterling perhaps?
Already have Sterling
Cant separe those 2 - Kdb should play all of next 3 games and maybe better option for those home games where opponents wil all be behind the ball
And Sane rotation risk,could get suspended but those ~2mil coukd ve handy
Yeah see I have Silva but no one else and looking this week to get sterling. So Im in a different position. I think you leave those two (if you watch motd sterling and sane always involved) don't worry about kdb and maybe go for another mid upgrade to pogba, hazard or defender upgrade
Thanks a lot man
Will probably go for Sane and then have an option to upgrade Richa to Pogba
yeah I really do think that is best with 1 prem attacker. I'm almost definitely heading that way. Just make sure you have a move back to get Kane if you don't have him.
Tough. They both offer similar value. Probably Sane just edges it for me.
Thanks
A
Thanks
De Bruyne is the best player in the league and is the most nailed on city attacker... I’m desperately trying to get him in... he’s then like Salah you just always play him and watch the points roll in.
But I think if you have 2 of silva/sane/sterling youre good?
He is a great player no doubt,but in fantasy terms he can sometimes be frustrated ti own,especialy if Silva is playing in front of him
Or Silva if he plays. Arrrgh!
Yeah all great options
Maybe just pick 2 and atay with them long term
Is Kola not in the first team anymore ? Played in Arsenal B-side in Carabao Cup
Seems like Maitland Niles is going to keep his place for now
DDG Elliot
Jones Otamendi Christensen Mee Moreno

Kane Firmino Austin
A. Kane - > Aguero (c)
B. Hazard - > KDB
C. Moreno - > Masuaku (will more than likely bench, who would I play him instead of!?)
D. Save ft
Who replaces Duffy in Brighton Fran this game week?
Brighton team
Ta. Saw that. Hoping it's correct.
A:Richarlison > Lingard
B:Kane > Aguero
C:Kane> Lukaku
D:Roll free transfer
E:Rip it up -12
Kane > Firmino
Morata > Austin
RLC > Pogba
Richarlison > KDB
Current team:
DDG
Ota Jones Christ Ogbon
Salah Haz Sterl Richarl
Morata Kane
———————————
Elliot RLC DCL Hune
I’m just not sure with Kane. He could hit 4 over the next 2 game weeks or hit 1
Or none
So are you edging towards D then?
Not sure if it's worth buying City's players now after pretty bad play tonight..
Good advice there cowboy
Selling mine.
B team
Yep. Just sold Sterling for a hit, he was invisible that game
Ok so I’m definitely stuck
Team:
Speroni
Jones. Otamendi Kenny (ward, hegazy)
Hazard Salah Sterling. Richarlison
Kane. Morata. RCL
A) Morata & Richarlison > Aguero & Lingard (-4)
B) Kane, Morata, Ricarlison > lukaku, Firmino, KDB (-8)
C) Get Chelsea defence in (-4)
Lots of Richarlison sellers here tonight. What's the main reason?
Gone a bit stale along with Watford ... also there’s so many mids absolutely smashing it.
lack of goals and shots in the last few gameweeks, people looking to upgrade midfield with funds from selling premium strikers
It's an easy move to Pogba and he needs a rest because he's tired as F
Brighton away - would bench
Leicester home - all good stats away
Swansea home - all good stats away
Man City - Nope
I keep playing him because of his alleged threat and don't fancy him in any of those and Watford in chaos. For 0.4 less than selling price I can get Lingard whose on fire for a top team with Pogba back
so you're saying that Richarlison would blank against Swansea and Leicester??
Is this serious?
😆
Brilliant.
Bench against a declining and relatively poor Brighton away.
Bench home games because his stats are better in away games....like against Brighton maybe?
Who are you trying to convince, sounds like yourself.
Naive move imo. Watford have had tough fixtures and suffered red cards. Good fixtures coming. Now's the time to have him.
Wouldn't surprise if he scored under 10pts total next 4. Naive move holding
Well, that's my opinion and if you don't like it... then I've got other ones
Had since GW3. Had nice 3 week tally 8 game weeks ago but no baps with goal and assist in one game is fantasy kryptonite to me
kaku or kun up until the dgw?
Iv got Kun and feeling good about it
after Jesus being run into the ground tonight I would be too.
Jesus owner here
I have Kun too, will hold for this week but don't fancy the Real Madrid rumour.
interesting. do you think he may have had his last game as a starter after that tot tantrum
1. KDB + Cresswell/Ogbonna/Masuaku
2. Pogba + Otamendi
3. Coutinho + Otamendi
1 means I have three city attackers - currently have Aguero + Sterling
3 means I have two Liv attackers - currently have Salah
Not sure I’d double up Liverpool midfield v Arsenal so 1
I enjoyed Cout+Salah last GW
B looks a solid move
Is Quaner nailed on?
Dont have the funds for Niasse to DCL anymore but if I can get Quaner for 2pt bench cover, thatd be alright
What to do with my team? 1FT and 0.2ITB
Pope (Elliot)
Alonso Otamendi Ward (Daniels Simpson)
Hazard Salah Sterling Richarlison RLC
Kane Vardy (Niasse)
got to be Daniels. maybe downgrade
Question about Morata:
A) He had enough rotation time and will start in the next matches in the festive period
B) He still has back problems and will be rotated by Conte.
Is the magic question we all want an answer to! Surely he will start next game tho if not injured
No haul since makeshift Stoke defence and lots of blanks. Not even worth Firmino price tag
Back problems don't go away easily. Think he has to start if he can as Chelsea have no choice. Maybe he'll not play 90 as much.
I'm switching for Firmino and using the money to upgrade Richarlison to Sterling..
He will start the next 2 or 3 games at least then you, I, Conte and his doctor will reassess based on his fitness and form. That's about as good a guess as I can muster.
Likely to start, but no way to know about his back problems: if it's a muscular issue it's likely a short-term problem, but if it's structural it could be a longer lingering problem.
What should I do? 1FT.
Foster
Otamendi, Naughton, Maguire
Sterling (C), Hazard (V), Richarlison, Salah
Kane, Lacazette, DCL.
(Gomes, RLC, Daniels, Rosenior)
The Dresser 1983 of Peter Yates.What a movie.Great acting from Finney and Courtenay.
didn't they do a remake recently
Yes with Hopkins and McKellen.
A. Mane, Jesus > Pogba, Kaku
B. Mane, Yedlin > Pogba, Jones
Both will cost -4
Kun + Ward -> Lukaku + Monreal
Does it worth a hit or -4?
Or just hold FT and hope Kun start agains BOU.
Thanks.
Hold. Kun will start and arsenal face the Fab Four
I'd Captain Kun if I held him for this match.
Martial, Richarlison, Lacazette > Pogba, KDB, Austin worth -8?
I think all upgrades and I don't mind -8 if it sets you up long term
Wildcarding in two weeks so not long term moves.
Yes I’d say so
Im considering some similar moves a few comments below. I like yours, thoughts on mine too?
Yes
Does anybody actually know if Morata is fit and due to start again?
Overpriced so not bothered
Cheers Richard, or do you mind if I call you Dick for short?
He's fit, due to start again, and due some goals 😉
Thanks, might be an option.
Who would everyone call the power 5 mids?
Pick 5
1. Salah
2. Sterling
3. Hazard
4. Coutinho
5. KDB
6. Pogba
7. Arnie
8. Lanzini
9. Sane
10. Other
12356
1-5
Salah
Coutinho
Mane
Can
Lallana
Not biased at all
Eriksen says hello
Is he an option?
30 pts in his last four says yes...
2 goals and 2 assists last 4, picking up some form, if Kane and Alli can also get some form then he'll become essential sooner rather than later added to the fact he's got a DGW coming up
1234 + 5/6
I'm on Salah, Coutinho, Sterling, Sane, Hazard
I've never taken a -8 before but this looks very tastey and may be my first?
Yes or no and time to log off and go to bed? Haha
Richarlson, RLC, Kane, Mee --> Pogba, Sterling, Austin, Christensen
go to bed
Thought so 🙁 haha
To be honest the transfers in look tasty, it's just the fact you're taking a -8 to sell 4 fit players, including Kane with a DGW coming up, RLC the magic bean, and Richarlison just when Gray is back into the team and he has the fixtures to deliver, it just seems too crazy for me
I think not taking hits is crazy if you can see the massive upsides to the players coming in. I'd look at it like if the new 4 scores one more goal than the old 4 (highly likely with Sterling in the mix and Kane having a blank) over the next 3 GWs, that's 4-5 points plus probable bonus = 8 points. 4 and 9 point differences are made up so easily if you get the right players.
Calculated my hit profit last season and was over 150pts from memory after point deduction and return from player in vs player out that week traded
Yeah but most of those were likely from injured players, or players scoring 0. Therefore, the comparison is not fair imo
Yes but these aren't the right players to transfer OUT. The INs are great but to sacrifice Kane, Richarlison and RLC for a -8 could be one of the biggest fails of the season
Who do you suggest I sacrifice from my squad to get Sterling and a better defender in?
Which of those transfers are more urgent? Finding a way to get city in? Lose Morata or Kane?
I'm leaning towards Kane C this week
As far as -8s go, that is a very appealing one. If you don't do it and those players absolutely smash it the next 2 GWs as it looks like they might, you will be frustrated. I'd say pull the trigger.
This is it, 100%
Look at each transfer in isolation. So much to gain. Even just Mee > Christensen for a hit looks like paying you back quickly. Burnley's fixtures now really tough. One extra CS for Chelsea and hit covered. Sterling - enough said. Pogba could be the vest value player from now until end of season, and won't stay 7.9 for long at all, so you are also purchasing TV. And Austin is about to play a home game against Huddersfield, which on its own could make the hit justified immediately if he bangs in a hat-trick. A lot of positives anyway, trust your instincts.
Play a 4-4-2 this week or go 3-4-3?
1) Mariappa (Away to Brighton)
2) Calvert-Lewin (Home to Chelsea)
Currently sitting on 2.
Cheers
Pick one:
A. Alonso, Richarlison, Mounie
B. Christensen, Pogba, DLC (-4)
A
B def
A) Morata & Richarlison > Aguero & Lingard (-4)
B) Kane, Morata, Ricarlison > lukaku, Firmino, KDB (-8)
C) Get Chelsea defence in (-4
Speroni
Jones. Otamendi Kenny (ward, hegazy)
Hazard Salah Sterling. Richarlison
Kane. Morata. RCL
I like B
I do as well, but worried about Kane
save
Why save?
why Kane out and Morata out?
Want KDB and unsure of Morata fitness
Morata's had 2 games to rest and another to rest today, so should be fit for the next game. KDB is a nice pick but Sane + Sterling are better value imo
can you do Morata and Richi to Firmino and Sane? Though I like A too for this week.. (I wouldn't take a -8)
I can. But surely aguero + Lingard this Gameweek over Firmino and sane?
for this week yes but longer term Aguero rotation likely
What’s the thoughts on having three city attackers? Overkill?
Better to have Ota + 2 attackers?
I’m going ota + 2
Ota + 2 mids
As you said, Otamendi + two mids are what most people deem the best combo
Pogba 7.9m! Thats a bargain for the 3rd best ppg. I'm in!
Yeah . Time to get him in.
Lukaku or Morata?
This is my team currently on wild card, thoughts please chaps
DDG Elliot
P.Jones Otemendi Kenny klaven Ogbonna
Sterling Hazard Salah Richarlison RLC
Kane Firminho DCL
Can u get another city attacker in?
Yeah I could go kdb but it would be at the expense of hazard or salah which I don't fancy doing. Wouldn't want Aguero or Jesus with three rotation
The ŕotation
Don’t like it at all. GW21 will be a disaster for you. 2 non playing subs, Jones and Firmino high risk of rotation and a few others a medium risk.
Try get some low ownership players that will do well too. Will help you get up the rankings.
You've got all of this pretty wrong.
Kane to Austin, RLC to KDB. Mybe upgrade klavan slightly too as he will go as soon as matip's back. Not sure who I'd do instead though. Maybe even Hegazi.
Hi, please choose Jones or Smalling
Is double up Utd defense with De Gea is too much?
Other def: Ota, Christensen, Ward, Kenny, Mariappa
Thanks.
Jones, back on track and plays great
I've had DDG and Jones most of the season and it's been pretty beneficial other than three 3 gws Jones was injured
