Paul
Our post-Gameweek members’ article brings a host of midfielders under analysis as we check out some of the standout statistics from the previous round of fixtures.
Chelsea and Man United’s wide men catch the eye, as does a Potters’ playmaker under new manager Paul Lambert, while we also assess some improved performances up front, with Arsenal’s summer signing now profiting from an upturn in pitch-time.
So.....we want Arsenal to win right?
no
I don't know, it's a win-win situation for me - Arsenal fan, but also I want a blank in GW28 to mix things up.
Yes.
Absolutely 😀
Like the casual I am ..for the umpteenth time ..what happens if Arsenal win ? 😉
ManU-Chelsea won’t be blank 28 for sure
It could be if they drew each other in fa cup and went to a replay, as gw28 would be when the replay was played, so they wouldnt be able to fit the league game in as well. I think the same also applies to man city if they draw in 5th round and need to go to a replay. The caveat is that i may be wrong.
Always.
Hi guys, which move do you prefer
A) Arnie & Son -> Mahrez & Shaq
B) Arnie & Firm -> McArthur & Kun
I am more tempted by B, more risky but more points potential I think
A. Both have a chance returning points.
A
A
Does anyone know whether Mkhitaryan was ineligible for today's game?
Cup tied
Oh there we go thanks
If Arsenal win tonight, tempted to activate WC. Have 7-8 players I want rid of and I no longer need to use Free Hit in week 28.
Any thoughts?
You will need the free hit in 31 or 35.
Nah keep the Wildcard and use before the bigger DGW. You can always take a hit this week and remove 2-3 players who you don't want long-term from your team
Reserve keepers out for both sides, otherwise pretty much full strength
Mkhi dropped
Was mkhi even able to play today or cup tied?
Never mind
Where's Lolrata?
Yellow flag
Cheers. Thought he was dropped due to terrible form.
Injured. With Fabregas.
Who cares lol
Chelsea are without Cesc Fabregas (hamstring) and Alvaro Morata (back)
Fab (Elliot)
Alonso, Christensen, Jones (Robertson Ogbonna)
Salah Sterling Son Lingard Arnautovic*
Kane Firmino (Niasse)
1FT 0.7ITB
The plan was son -> Mahrez but Arni is now injuried.
Any ideas? Who is the best Arni replacement?
Lingard & Arnautovic to Pogba & Choupo-Moting seem good?
0 itb
Thanks.
better than whacking yourself with a spanner.
Can Mkhi play tonight vs. Chelsea or it's against the rules 'cause he already played for United in that competition?
cup tied so no
Ask TAZAH
Lol
Sorry for asking about it in public 🙂
Think I will be dumping Chelsea players come GW28 regardless, given they face Utd, Chelsea and Barcelona before a likely blank in GW31.
Free hit in 31?
Anyone else considering the Vahrez double up?
Reasons not to?
no reason not do. Good value assets
When is Courtois back?
From earlier FFS line-up article: Courtois (ankle) is another who will be expected to face Bournemouth in Gameweek 25, with his training ground injury described by the club as “minor”.
Thanks so I'll keep and start
Thank you so much!
Well that was encouraging. Christensen got through a pre match interview without hurting himself on the mic
I'm starting to think he's cursed ....
asked for shirt number 666 i believe
😆
Remember he was unlucky twice, But Also lucky once 🙂
only remember the bad luck 🙂
I remember the good. As I swapped to Alonso after that 😉
I think between them my dealings with him Alonso Morata and Haz have cost me a net -50 points minimum
With regards to shaq, I see chuopo as better option.. Cheaper and playing oop... I had him earlier in the season and he was outsourcing shaq...... Why the hype guys?
They are very close on the surface:
Shaqiri 9 returns from 21 starts, one double figure haul
C-M 7 returns from 20 starts, three double figure hauls
So Shaq more consistent, C-M more explosive. Not sure about the underlying stats for different periods of the season, though.
Shaq more nailed and new manager might not like Choupo
I hope this game is settled by penalties and that Haz plays to the very end.
How good of a prospect is Gudmonsson, based on positive numbers, fixtures? More than, say, someone who mostly sucks? Or actual investment?
Burnley have scored 19 goals in 24 games, maybe look elsewhere for more attacking returns
Sage advice.
Alderweireld back -> Return to wingbacks -> Son getting dropped to bench?
Or Eriksen dropping further back
Why drop the second most in form player in your entire team? Eriksen to fall back
Eriksen is better than Son, to me. Form, no form.
Or just replaces Sanchez.
If there are no blank fixtures in GW28 then I want at least 5 fixtures postponed in GW31 to make good use of the Free Hit Chip
I Think there is Also usually a blank in 35, right ?
35 will be for fa cup semi finals I believe
Which could still mean up to 4 games (8 teams) having to be rescheduled.
Yep
I reckon it will be 2 or 3 games at max, assuming at least 1 championship side makes the semis
Probably right. Gw31 could be carnage if all the big boys go through
fair enough
A) Arnautivic to Walcott for -4
Or
B) Save and play Ayew or ogbonna
play ayew
Ayew
A) Son & Arnie > Mahrez & Shaqiri
B) Son, Arnie & Lingard > Mahrez, Willian & Shaqiri
C) Son, Arnie & Otamendi > Mahrez, Willian & Stones
D) Son, Arnie & Otamendi > Mahrez, Walcott & Stones
E) Kane, Son, Arnie & Lingard > Niasse, Mahrez, Hazard & De Bruyne
Addicted to hits?
Thanks for the constructive reply.
A. if for free. Otherwise just Arnie to Shaq.
Bottomed;
Verdict on any of these moves for free?
A). Arnie/Richarlison to Mahrez/Milojovic
B). Arnie/Richarlison to Sterling/Caroll
C). Arnie to Willian and hold one FT
arn>mahrez
This
Surely Mil was the enabler
Is Alonso's place under threat by that new left back Chelsea are about to sign from Roma?
wont help when CL rolls round
Very good point. Slightly worried myself but can always switch to Azpi the baps monster
100%
Naaa
Alonso is poor in defending so don't know how that will play out. Hope Emerson is restricted to cup games
Thoughts?
Arnautovic & Pogba > Willian and Sane (-4)?
Keep Pogba
This
Best 4.9 midfielder (Alonso facilitator)?
A. Ibe
B. Milivojevic
C. Someone else?
V
B
Ibe out of those. Mili’s fixtures very rough if you intend to play him
At that price pick anyone !
Harry Winks for a delicious punt?
Which bench fodder on wc?
A) Quarner
B) Crouch
Playing Doucoure as 5th mid
Quaner is a 0-2 pointer. Prefer Crouch out of those.
Unfortunately is looks like Niasse won’t get a move either.
B
Can see the Gunners hammer and tongs from the start.
Early goal hopefully, playing the half time/full time _Gooner win @ 7/2.
Iwobi 10/1 First goal for the Giggles!
Thoughts?
Arnie & Richy OUT
Mhki & Shaqiri IN
Why Mkhi?
Not sure to start this week and some tough fixtures after that.
Christensen starts so likely benched at the weekend and plays in the PL next mid week? Or is that logic wrong?... he’ll probably only play 58mins anyways though 😆
