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.
Who is most viable in delivering points over next 3 GWs:
Richarlison
Shaqiri
RLC
Wary that Richarlison is now marked by opposition as hot player...may see his returns drop
Rich
Rich, but monitor in case your concerns prove justified.
Richarlison.
dunk or zanka??
Dunk on 4 Yellows
Dunk 0.1 cheaper and better on BPS. One card away from suspension though.
Dunk
Hey ladies and gents,
Foster, Elliot
Alonso,Otamendi,Mee ,Simpson, mbemba
Sterling,Salah, Rich,Gross, Caroll
Aguero, Kane Firmino
0 its, 2fts,
Mbemba,Carroll,Kane> Ogbona, Hazard/Pogba, DLC
Getting very bored of the template, thoughts?
Patience is running out with Jesus in my team. What is the best thing to do? 1FT, 0itb.
A) Wait and see this GW. Make the transfer with 2FT next GW
B) Jesus>Austin/Chicarito? then upgrade mid next gw.
C) Jesus+Surman> Chica/Austin+Pogba (-4)
D) Jesus> playing cheaper striker and power pack the midfield for 3-5-2.
Doubt he will starts after extra time and pens last night,
Probably suggest A gives you more options
True. His 20-30 mins vs Bou could be better than using a transfer for not so convincing strikers below his price bracket, No?
indeed
Who are your other strikers?
Firmino, Rooney
I did a similar thing to D... Having Rooney and Okazaki has allowed me to have mid field of ...hazard, sterling, Salah, Coutinho and Zaha 🙂
Jesus to Austin for me
Hi guys, is my team GTG for festive season?
Adrian
Jones Otamendi Christensen
Salah Sterling Hazard Coutinho Richarlison
Kane Firmino
Bench: 3.9GK, Ogbonna, Mariappa, Quaner
No FTs and 0.0 ITB
Feel settled with mids and attack.
Will probably get a GK for GW21 and Vertonghen+Eriksen/Son for GW22.
Gtg
Gtg and nice team value. Ease up on all those hits?
Thanks. Well hits, I vow every week to not take anymore, but somehow end up taking anyway. Need to consult a doctor 😀
Triple Liverpool attack is a little much for me. You might want to turn Cout into Sané.
But Cout is on fire man ! Was settled earlier with Cout and Salah, just added Firmino because couldn't see any better FWD option in that bracket. If someone has to go though, Shouldn't it be Bobby?
You not concerned about Sane's rotation?
Nice team. Less Liverpool and more city mids would be my preference
Agree somewhat. But basically I had two options:
1) Richarlison+Firmino
2) DCL+Silva/Sane
Went with the 1st one..as DCL has 3 tough fixtures in next 5 and he may be sharing minutes with Niasse. While Firmino has lots of good fixtures after Arsenal.
Hope it turns out well..
Who scores more over the coming 3 weeks until the blank ?
A) kane & pogba +4 points
With hazard then Kane captain for the next 2
B) sterling , Aguero C (Aguero to lukaku next week)
Then get kane back for his double.
Thanks
Morning all, thoughts?
Mee + Silva (if confirmed out) > Ogbonna + Sterling?
Pope Elliot
Otamendi Jones Mee Duffy Kenny
Richarlison Salah Hazard Silva RLC
Kane Morata DCL
0.1itb 2FT
Anyone?
RLC and morata to kdb quaner
If Silva is confirmed out, then that is a good move. Personally I'd rather keep Mee and ditch Duffy but I'm guessing that wouldn't give enough funds for you to make the proposed moves.
No I have exact money to dtich Duffy instead of Mee, but I have Pope so did not want double Burnley anymore due to fixtures turning
Good move
I know Liverpool took them apart at anfield but arsenal have been keeping it pretty tight at the Emirates this season and mignolet ain't no de gea sont do you still reckon Liverpool will run riot on Friday ? I have 2 Liverpool midfielders and I m a bit ""worried" about that 🙂
I'm worried enough to make Sterling (C) over Salah or Coutinho. But not really worried. I still expect Liverpool to score a few goals.
Thanks.
It'll be a goalfest. 2-3 Pool win imo. (Arsenal fan)
Cheers
Liverpool will score
Looking for excuses to swap coutinho for sterling won't find them in that post , thanks for replies 🙂
Keep couthino he's on fire
1 goal is all you need for 10 pts from a mid don't need to run riot for that
2FT and 0.5 ITB
A or B? Or better moves?
A. D.Silva + Vardy -> Sterling + Firmino
B. D.Silva + Vardy + Kabasele -> Sterling + Firmino + Ogbonna for a -4
Fabianski
Jones Otamendi Monreal
D.Silva Hazard Salah Richarlison
DCL Kane Vardy
Elliot Kabasele Mee T.Carroll
A
depends entirely on Silva news surely - any news on him yet?
Ashley young or fernandinho for 5th mid? Already got RLc and will rotate
You're missing out on so many great mids with that formation. All invested in the forward line? Not a fan, but if I had to pick one - Young.
Too many big hitting mids to go with that formation at the moment
Gtg, save FT?
Foster
Otamendi Christensen Jones
Sterling Salah Hazard Richarlison RLC
Morata Kane
Elliott DCL Mee Daniels
Save
Which do you prefer?
A) Mbemba and Richarlison to Ogbonna and Pogba
B) Mbemba, RLC and Kane to Ogbonna, Pogba and Morata -4
Exact cash ITB for both.
Depends on rest of team but prob A) for now without knowing too much...
Thanks. Team is:
Pope, Myhill
Otamendi, Christensen, Mee, Naughton, Mbemba
Salah, Sane, Hazard, Richarlison, RLC
Kane, Firmino, Niasse
So the burning issues are Niasse, Mbemba and the fact that I want Pogba.
Sane or Pogba?
Pogba
Sane
Pogba
Pogba
Sané
Considering Kane + GroB to Lukaku + Pogba for a -4
Strategy is to keep Luk for 19,20,21 then swap back to Kane for the the DGW.
Is this madness?
I'm doing similar but may go sane over pog
good move
I want to start a Pogba vs. Hazard debate.
Is the only difference between these 2 this season their price?
Both seem capable of explosive scores whilst also frustrating with blanks.
I'm trying to talk myself out of a Hazard to Pogba move for gw 20 which will allow essential upgrades in defence, however I'm struggling to justify the current extra funds tied up in Hazard over the much cheaper Pogba.
Is my comparison filled with holes?
Their only difference isn't just price, they play for different teams in different roles to start.
I'm talking in regards to fpl and points potential Dingo. This is the right place to discuss that right?
I think Pogba is tremendous value based on his price, plus no chance of rotation. Allows me to do a move of Gross to Sterling as well.
You had Hazard or ignoring completely?
I currently have Hazard. Looking to get both Pogba and Sterling in.
With 2 cheap strikers and Kane, you can basically have the midfield of your choice. Makes life easy as that's where all the value and excitement is.
I've got Hazard, Pogba, Salah, Coutinho, Sterling. So many point in there when they fire. Of course the sacrifice is the forward line, but I don't want Morata, Lukaku or City strikers anyway.
Who are your two cheap strikers?
DCL and Quaner. Only DCL gets any gametime so far and he's doing well.
Who are your cheap strikers ?
Try and get both if you can, they are both key for their teams and will both have more spurts of form than blanks.
Both would be nice but with so many good options in midfield now I'm struggling to see Hazard as being good value. Especially when you compare having say Hazard + Mee or potentially Pogba + Alonso. That's the example using my own conundrum.
I agree about Hazard, we all got sucked in again but we can't forget the reasons we were drawn to him in the first place.
He's got 3 weeks for me but not sure I'm in a rush to lose him.
Tbh I would rather pogba plus the money over hazard but even though I would rather that pogba I hadn't made the move hazard to pogba and I have 2FT with the main reason I want to keep hazard and bring pogba in for richarlison but I can't afford that
Yeah I think I'm leaning towards the Pogba to Hazard move in gw20.
The extra funds can give me:
Pogba, Jones/Smalling and DDG; or Pogba, Alonso and Adrian
Vs.
Hazard, Mee, Elliott.
I think the case against Hazard looks strong in the long run.
Yeah it seems like pogba is the better pick but I'm scared because I think hazard is the more explosive option and I saw that in gw15 when I didn't own him
Fabianski
Otamendi - Christensen - Masuaku - Dunk
Hazard - Salah - Coutinho - Choupo
Kane (C) - Morata
Subs: Elliot - RLC - DCL - Simpson
0 FT, 0.8 ITB
A) Choupo + Morata -> Sterling (C) + Austin (-8)
B) Hazard -> KdB/Sterling (-4)
C) Coutinho -> Sterling (-4)
D) Don't take a hit.
Cheers.
C could work..
D
Leaning towards to this as B and C could easily backfire and taking two hits just doesn't feel right. It will be very painful to watch City-Bournemouth game tho.
A) Ward ---> Ogbona (-4)
B) Play Kenny (CHE)
A & a CS would get you 2 points (6-4) .. play B
Who like myself is sticking with morata ? These Chelsea fixtures are great surely he will score a few.
Who are you sacrificing in your midfield for more city assets?
I have kdb and want sterling thinking of transferring out coutinho
Only other option up front imo Is luksku and I can't afford him
Gonna roll the dice, ditch Moreno for Zanka.
Keep Morata depending on tonight...that then determines other moves related to Richarlison/ Shaqiri and Pogba/ Sterling
Thanks
I am keeping Morata
I'm sticking with Morata but at a cost of Hazard. I've gone double City midfielder with KDB and Sterling along with Salah and Richarlison.
Getting rid of Alonso or Morata to make funds for upgrading Choupo?
none.. post your team..
Fab Elliot
Alonso Otta Mee Dunk Moreno*
Haz Salah Rich RLC Choupo*
Kane Morata DCL
2FT & 0.6ITB
Morata then..
Not many alternatives for Morata tho. Only Firmino that I can think of.
Maybe ditch Alonso to Jones/Smalling/Christensen and upgrade Choupo to Pogba?
Alonso & Choupo > Jones & Pogba
Yeah thats what I am planning to do. Not Smalling over Jones?
Don't do that.. sort out your injured players first. You need a bench for the holidays!!
No one worried Sterling could be benched vs Bournemouth?
Easy fixture for them so may rest a few ie Aguero (heel injury hes been playing with) and Sterling? Rely on Jesus and Sane?
He wasn't even on the bench last night so no.
already rested for Cup game.. why to rest again?
BSilva & Jesus played already.. so Sane Aguero Sterling to start against BOU..
Just due to amount of fixtures between now and early January
Sterling started last 8 games.. anyone could be rested..
Pep may want to wrap the title by Feb and concentrate on UEFA CL.. see a lot of rotation from Feb
I think the last time everyone was considering captaining Sterling was in GW9 when City had Burnley at home. Sterling was coming off a haul bs Stoke and a midweek rest... he played zero minutes!
I’ve been an owner for a while and very happy with his returns but I’m not comfortable captaining him. That’s just me though, I can understand the temptation.
He WAS rotated but Pep seems to have a lot more trust in him now since he's been banging in the goals. He's been as nailed as you can get in this City team recently.
Easiest fixture of the whole GW, Sterling in form and rested last night. What's not to like? Will do for me...
Only dodgy thing about Sterling is he takes on the curse of the most transferred in player, other than that, there's nothing to dislike about giving him the C.
I'm not going to over think it, doing that has cost me in the past. He's the only Man City player I have fpr now so he can wear the armband and we'll see what happens. I'm not expecting a hat trick but I'd be happy enough with a goal.
Yes, this curse can't continue.
I'm with you on It.
Moreno owners if you have stuck around for so long, are you tempted to stay a few more weeks for a January recovery?
ditch.. Robertson would provide tough competition
Ok that guy is dead to me, can't afford one more price drop, at break even now
I don't know what to do with Jesus, I stick with him till gameweek 1.
Now I'm considering other options, like
A) Firmino - not my favourite, there are better players in Pool
B) Rooney - not so reliable
C) other cheapy like Calvert-Lewin or Depoitre and upgrade the midfield
??
post your team..
fab
christensen-jones-kabasele-mee-duffy
hazard-sterling-salah-groß-RLC
kane-abraham-jesus
Jesus >> Austin and upgrade Goß/RLC?
austin has rotation with the shitty gabbidiani
Rashford? Utds fixtures look good
Rashford plays as much as Jesus 🙁
Where’s the-‘This much we know’ articles gone? They were my favorite to help with transfer plans.
A lot of articles have gone missing. Say what. Market forces. Suspension tightrope would be very handy at the moment. Maybe it's because the games are coming so quickly.
Who you think is best Niasse replacement at 5.4 to spend.
Or hold and save transfer? Have 14 other starting players
DCL
Fixtures look awful over next 5
Depoitre
Quaner
Depoitre and Quaner are flavour of the week
Bournemouth have cracking fixtures after this week..
Best shout?
A) Defoe
B) Wilson
C) King
Not enough value in these players imo expect maybe Wilson but he doesn't start much does he ?
keep Daniels?
A
Last midfield slot. Would like to remain Kane as differential and hope he pay my faith in him with a hattrick. 🙂
Salah - Sterling - RLC - Hazard - XXX
Quaner - DLC - Kane
a. Sane --> ITB 1.9
b. Pogba --> ITB 2.6
B
B
Let's be honest guys, we were rarely going to play Daniels Vs Man City even if he was fit
75% likely to play which times well for the blue fixtures. Price far from dropping either.
I have other more pressing fires!
Though groin injury could change this to 50%...let's see tonight...
Thoughts on Kane & Choupo > KDB and Rooney?
Or is it worth keeping Kane for now?
Would leave me with a midfield and front line of:
Coutinho Salah Sterling KDB Haz
Rooney Calvert-Lewin Abraham
your backline?
Pep when asked about David Silva and possible return this weekend: “It’s personal issues. I don’t know (if he will return this weekend). I prefer not to make statement because it’s personal life.”
sterling then...
who will get more points
1) zanka
2)dunk??
toss a coin
