We turn to the Opta numbers next and roll out our usual post-Gameweek members’ article looking at some of the standout players across the previous round of fixtures.
Sergio Aguero, Jamie Vardy and Eden Hazard’s run of goals arrive under analysis, while we also cast an eye over Spurs and Everton’s recent displays in attack.
Meanwhile, cut-price midfielders from Brighton and Watford are finding form as both sides prepare for a run of four home matches in the next six Gameweeks.
Which 3 defenders would you most want in your side for rest of season from the following
A VVD
B Maguire
C Alonso
D Mawson
E Davies
F Alderweireld
G Vertonghen
H Jones
I Mee
ABG
ACG
amazed at the amount of kun out posts, the guy is back, best striker in the league playing for easily the best team, makes no sense to me, id rather have him than kane
rotation, jesus, champs league
jesus aint fit and if kun gets rotated it will be in the cl, think city should scrape through
soon will be fit, then back to rotation like before. both players want to play, and kane is nailed on every game.
jesus can want to play all he wants, kun is first choice
just like Kun always played before?
kun been first choice for months
is that why pep rotated then yeah?
kun has started every single prem game since dec10th
Excellent. If he continues to start, i'll jump on, i love Kun, but without proof first with Jesus back in the side, i'm steering clear like many others and investing the money elsewhere, instead of depending a lot on Kun.
You don’t know if it’s rotation just like before though. Maybe, maybe not.
well, yes, but you'd expect rotation with more games and Aguero having "played a lot of games" according to pep. It's a gamble i aint willing to risk 12m on, Kane anyday.
Jesus is not even close to the quality of Agüero, pep might sub Aguero off earlier in games, especially if they’re winning, but I think he plays.
i do hope that's the case becasue i'll jump on.
Agreed
For the next few, who would you go for?
A: De Bruyne
B: Eriksen
C: Mahrez
B
B
Eriksen
Between Eriksen and Mahrez.
A) Lingard + Kun > Mane + Bobby - Exact money
B) Ota + Lingard > VVD + Walcott - Exact money
Would you pull the trigger on either of these moves tonight, or just wait until after games and sacrifice them.
Sensible vs Risk??
B
Hiya guys, could i get your thoughts here please on this potential WC team?
Not hit the button, but i'm tempted.
Fabianski
Monreal - Alderweireld - VVD
KDB - Salah - Sterling - Mkhitaryan - Arnie
Kane - Firmino

have you heard of gw31?
of course, happens every season
Don't know how that is within budget
it leaves exactly nothing in the bank, affordable for sure, may keep it an idea until after GW 31
Lots of good players, I'd just be a bit more flexible with cheaper players. Get 2 playing keepers. I wouldn't go in for Mkhi yet, maybe go Shaqiri and get a good 2nd keeper and/or better defender than VDH.
Yeah some good points tehre, thanks TJ 🙂 Not wildcarded or anything, just trying to think outside the box a litle, got Shaqiri in my side now, along with Walcott who play GW31. Shall hold for now and re-jig closer to WC 🙂
Nice, I'd like to fix the bench with a goalie so you could do, hennesey, niasse, lowton or fernandez and mariappa
Instead of what you got.
But I like it.
Cheers SV, yeah agreed, i'd prefer that as well just to have the other playing goalie, shall try and tweak that nearer WC time, thanks.
Nice squad!
Either you have a squad value of almost 110m or you got ALL of those players in at their lowest value and have had them since. I have a 104.6 SV and 0.2 in the bank and i'm 4.8 short ofo putting that crew together!
Apologies, I somehow put Aguero in not Firmino - still 2.2 short though, some lineup.
haha no probs man, yeah i'm keeping an eye on that lot i've put together for after GW 31, rather like it, and need to try something different to overtake my ML leader 🙂
Squad value is 107.1, SV is 104.5, Salah, Kane, Firmino and Sterling are the only ones tehre i have had a while.
Im 105.7 TV, 103.2 SV and only 1.2m short of that crew
Should I do Lingard -> Deulofeu tonight?
Lingard set to drop and Deu to rise so a 0.2m swing
nah
after listening to the scoutcast it looks like people might be making the same mistake (kane>kun) in terms of auba after next GW. the fix are amazing and ars always finish well
hardly the same, kun is premier league royalty, arsenal can be god awful at times
A) Alonso > Daniels & Lingard > Alli
B) Alonso > VVD & Lingard > Walcott
B
B
Who to get rid of first, Alonso or Ota?
If both fit, Otamendi. But need to know more on Alonso
Should i keep both for now and just take the Alonso drop?
he wont
He won't drop? Er ... yes he will.
Yeh wait until after cup games, if you can
Alonso.
Man City have been so unlucky not to have more clean sheets when you look at the stats.
What is a better plan troops?
A- Kun, Shaq, Mahrez ------> Kun to Niasse/Rooney in 31, then in GW32 Niasse/Rooney to Auba plus Ramsey for Shaq
B- Kdb, Erik, Arnie and just roll? Will have 1 less guy in 31
Bit confusing but B because I'm not sure on Mahrez.
If possible I'd have Shaqiri over Arnie up to GW31.
Thanks mate, could do.
Best mid for max 6.4£?
Pope
Alonso/Jones/Robertson
Shaq/Salah/Sterling/Walcott/*?*
Firmino/Aguero
Schmeichel/Ayew/Monreal/Chilwell
Have a number of players i want to remove (Kenny, Depoitre, Pogba, Alonso) with 2 FT in the bank. Should i be looking to make transfers early to avoid price drops or just wait it out until we find out more info after FA cup etc.?
why would you remove Alonso? All to avoid a measly 0.1?
No, because he is injured and has done absolutely nothing since i brought him in. Plus the fact that he costs an absolute bomb and that money could be spent elsewhere on far better things
I do see your point, but h'es bound to recover for next gw and will have had plenty of rest, and is the best defender in the game, i expect a strong finish from Mr. Alonso
You are short sighted.
If possible then wait, especially if these players are playing the FA Cup or Europe. I'd only make an early transfer if there's a specific, unavoidable reason you need to save that extra 0.1m
Best move here?
A) Otamendi > VVD
B) Ogbonna > Robertson
Probably A
Choose Karius, VVD or Robertson?
Thanks.
VVD > Robertson > Karius
Actually... How does this look for free?
Otamendi > VVD
Lingard > Eriksen
Good moves imo.
Looks great.
Sensational
Who would you want from Arsenal for fixtures in GW 32, 33, 34, 35?
Mkhi and that’s it.
I'd say Miki or Auba, preferably Miki in my opinion due to price.
Auba for sure!
Auba could be a great differential but others (Kane, Firmino, Aguero, even Lukaku?) could make it difficult to go for him.
Need to wait and see on Mkhi/Ramsey, I don't quite trust either currently although Ramsey if he's fit is great.
Could be worth having a defender, probably Bellerin or Monreal but might be better teams to choose from.
Are most of us looking at playing the Free Hit in gw31?
No
35
GW 35 for me more than likely.
35 for me.
Why are people looking at 35 over 31?
Why not wildcard 35?
Play Foster (HUD) or Pickford (wat)?
Foster, Huddersfield struggle to score away from home
Hi, is VVD will be great replacement for Ota or Alonso?
Based on assumption that Pool will have decent CS after end of season?
Thanks.
bit of a leading question that 😆
Who is the man alongside Ben Dinnery in his Twitter profile picture? He looks very familiar, but I can't put a name to the face: https://twitter.com/BenDinnery/
Phillip Schofield, looks like he's put on a bit of weight.
I see a very slight resemblance
kevin keegan
Ah there we go, he's changed over the years
Would you bench Lingard (CHE) and Otamendi (ars) to play Chilwell (STK) and Fernandez (bha) ?
Ryan Elliot
Alonso Otamendi Jones Fernandez Chilwell
Sanchez Salah Sterling Lingard Fraser
Kane Firmino Wilson
Would probably play Lingard and Fernandez
Should I keep Wilson?
Yeah
Best keeper for next 5 matches for less than 5.0? Cheers.
Fab/Karius
Karius, Pickford, Fabianski, Foster
More points in the next 3?
A- Arnie
B- Big Shaq plus bonus match in 31
Arnie- Pool away, Swansea away, Burnley home
Shaq- Foxes away, Soto away, Man City home, Everton home
i like shaqiri, but arnie is tempting too...
Will Kunexit be as successful as Kaneexit v2?
If you have KDB it can't hurt badly I think.
Kevexit could complicate things I guess.
VVD or Mane over the next 4?
not mane, surely off form
But who will score more points, ignoring price. Surely Mane, right?
nah many other best option instead on mane there....but if you have to, i take vvd, assuming you already have salah and bobby
That's the thing. If you get Mané now (and then have 3 Pool) you won´t be able to get VVD in for GW31. Only realized this after I bought Mané last week, and now I am kicking myself.
so with sane and silva back from injury, should i forget kun(swap with kane) and double up with city midfielder instead??
Deulefou worth getting in ?
Good stats, but not sure of end product based on his history
Go Doucoure.
Hazard, Niasse, Ramsey and to a lesser extent - Walcott and Wilson- have completely trolled me this season. Not a hope of returns when I have them and as soon as I get them in the score for fun. Get them back the do nothing again.
So I held off of Kane ➡ Kun I the latter done me over big time especially last gw. Very frustrating.
Get them out* . Made a balls of that post. What I mean is when I don't have em the do well. When I get them the give up. When I get rid they do well again. What's a man supposed to do?
Made a balls of that one too. Il just go to sleep.
6 years, 2 months agoMissed the game and see that sterling went off pretty early - is he injured?
