We delve into the members data this evening after the Gameweek came to its conclusion last night. Stoke, Southampton and Watford’s forwards all come under analysis, whilst Sergio Aguero and Alexis Sanchez make a strong claim for immediate investment on the back of their weekend showings.
I asked earlier why people chose Williams over naughton (more attacking) and they said bonus.
In the 2 matches naughton has more total bps points (46-43)
He got a yellow card in the second match which is why he only got 1 BP, which is already impressive in that he is getting any bonus with a yellow. Not sure I agree with people here.
I think they mean the change in rules for how defenders acquire points in the BPS. Also Naughton wasn't originally nailed, I think. Now since the season has started obviously Naughton looks the better pick of the 2
It was this gw I asked, in response to wildcards with Williams in. I'm putting naughton in anyway, glad you agree!
Tabanou what brought in and quickly made concerns that either Naughton or Taylor were going to lose their place. Most likely would've been Taylor since he's the left back. Williams is just more nailed and the bonus point system helps him more this season. Naughton is a good differential
Why does the Bonus system favour Williams this season? it hasn't so far based on Scoredelario's post
tbh, I've just heard a ton of ppl saying it and so I take their word for it. doesn't it factor in clearances and interceptions more this season?
Lots of things. I'd say the jury is still out.
Its based purely on last season of course. After 2GW's I think its still too soon to tell with regard to BPS
2 matches is a small sample size though.
Anyone think this is worth a wildcard? 🙁
Ruddy / Rudd
Azpilicueta / Mertesacker / Morgan / Targett / Saylor
Sanchez / Payet / Mahrez / Sinclair / Wanyama
Aguero /Rooney / Benteke
I've already used both of my FTs this week and I have 1.9m itb. I'd restructure my entire defence and remove Sinclair, Mertesacker and Rooney for the likes of Depay, Gomis and Kolarov... I don't want to be left behind with price rises and potential explosions this week. What would you do?No.. You've got Sanchez and Aguero. No need to wildcard imo
nah, stick
Cheers. We should play Chess again sometime. I'll be joining a University Chess society next month and I've been practicing the boring and disreputable London System 😀
Why bother these days when you read about 16 year old 2700+ Chinese super GMs having immortal games, like the amazing one recently.
I saw that game. Great game!
i wouldn't wildcard that
No
Cheers chaps
Schmeichel
Morgan - TOBY - Az
Depay - Payet - Lens - Haz
Benteke - Deeney - Rooney
Bench: Cech - Clyne RITCHIE Francis
Toby and Ritchie >>> Darmian and Mahrez (for free)
Yes or No?It appears reasonable but I think you should really be concentrating on getting Aguero.
I can do that after by downgrading Hazard to Yaya and do Rooney to Aguero, maybe, what do you think?
Good plan
oh thanks, I think I will go with this plan. 🙂
Not bad, although I'd prefer Depay to Yaya I think. I'd probably do it this week but if you are ballsy enough to go without Aguero this week best of luck to you 😀
Rooney does have a nice fixture though and Hazard is a quality player so I can see the merits of keeping for another week I guessYes, thats what I thought, give Haz and Rooney one more chance with a nice fixture to Rooney and a +/- fixture to Haz and Chelsea needs to win this time.
Then with 2 FTs next week see what I can do and maybe bring Yaya and Kun for them.
I will risk that.
Thanks mate. 🙂
lens->mahrez
toby->darmI see nobody likes Lens, he is a good player and has been important to Sunderland´s attack, he did 4 and 5, not bad, don´t you think he can do something this GW at HOME with Swansea?
Lens is a good pick
Yep, I think he is too.
no way imo.
Can you afford Richie to 4.5 and and Rooney to Kun?No, the only way I can bring Kun in is by doing Haz and Rooney to Yaya and Kun, maybe.
why not just do Ritchie to Mahrez and roll the other FT through. Then next week bring in Aguero with 2 FT
hmm that sounds good.
Ritchie to Mahrez this week.
Haz and Rooney to Yaya and Kun next week.
Then I can bring Darmian in if he continues to play well.
I like it.Yeah skid gives you a lot if flexibility by saving an FT. Imagine if haz gets a haul this gw, you have a lot more option with 2ft.
Yeah, you are absolutely right, I will do that.
Thanks mate. 🙂
No worries man 🙂
🙂
Hey,lads, a little help plz. Who to bench for GW3? Willing to play 3-4-3 or 3-5-2
Alexis (LIV) Coutinho (ars) Ayew (sun) Payet (BOU) Mahrez (TOT)
Kun (eve) Pelle (wat) Gomis (sun)
RMT is telling me to bench Coutinho.
Thanks for the help!Are you on a wildcard? If so I'd avoid such decisions and free up more cash by having a cheap 5th mid.
If not, I'm inclined to agree with benching coutinhoNot on a WC. Its hard to bench Coutinho seeing as how many touches he gets inside the box. THanks for the input, its well appreciated!
I am pretty sure Mahrez gets more touches in the box.Probably Payet gets less but he's an assist machine with good fix. Good luck with the choice!
Good point, thanks!
Mahrez.
Had him and Kolorov on the bench last week. Lost 20 points. ugh 🙁
Couthino
I would bench Pellè.
Thought about that but has WAT away. I know they got a CS last week at home, but I didn't watch the match. Do you think they can keep out Mane, Pelle, Tadic and co?
I don´t know but they have a pretty good defence and defensive midfield and they play with agression and intensity, then Southampton is not doing so well and Pellè has not done something special for a long time, I would go forward and bench Pellè.
Pelle scored GW1....but I see your point. Thanks for the food for thought. I'll chew on it a bit, hahaha Good luck this week, glad to see LEI in the top four!
Yeah, you´re welcome, my pleasure, think well and go forward, thanks and good luck for you too.
I like Leicester a lot and it is great to see them in great shape and in top four.
I don't know why you'd torture yourself with that front 8! Impossible decision, I'd probably bench Coutinho as he would presumably have a low-ceiling against Arsenal
Play 2-5-3
Good shout
THanks for the help guys
I'd bench Coutinho
Coutinho. I have the other seven and will be playing them and benching Lens.
Who are you going to captain?Thinking Gomis to get a differential, and SUN have been the whipping boys so far. A bit scary tho with prob 50%+ of managers captaining Kun.
What about you?Currently the same - in form player for in form attack against out of form defence. But it's easy to argue that any of the others could top score.
Tempting to back a City player after they beat Chelsea 3-0, but Everton beating Southampton 3-0 is a warning sign.I just hope I have the balls to (c) Gomis on Gameday. Good luck and thanks for the input!
Thanks for all the input lids, have benched Coutinho, but will have a bit more of a think. What if I used that All Out Attack chip? Seems stupid tho to do it so early in the season and bring in Coutino (ars).
Use it imo while you have a big front 8. Presumably in the future you sill downgrade someone
You think so, huh? I've been contemplating it. Might give me a boost early in the season as so many managers are struggling right now. Thanks for the advice!
Trying to decide on a combo
A) Kolarov/Westwood
B) Gomez/RedmondI'd go A
A
Thanks fellas
A
Thoughts on my WC team?
Suggestions for changes in forward line?
Mignolet / McCarthy
Bellerin / Kolarov / Darmian / Gomez / Ward
Silva / Sanchez / Payet / Mahrez / Wanayama
Aguero / Gomis / Vardy
0.4 in the bankI like Zarate
Thanks! Already got Payet, so perhaps too much with two WHU attackers?
Looking good.
Personally I'm not sure about Mignolet, Wanyama and Vardy, but they're probably just as good shouts as the alternatives.Diouf up front? Great fix's
Thanks!
0.1 short, have to reshuffle team to get him in.It'll be worth it. Any chance of gaining the 0.1 on a price rise from Gomez. If not, Gomez to Mings?
Alternatively Migs to Butland. Two Liverpool defenders is one too many imo
Thanks!
Also not sure about Mignolet, but can't have Hart because of 3 ManC, and United keeper situation isn't cleared. Suggestions for other keepers than Migs and forwards than Vardy for max 6.4?Not sure! Fabianski maybe? I've gone for Schmeichel because Leicester's fixtures dovetail well with Palace's, but they're yet to show last season's defensive form.
Maybe Ighalo, Jerome or Gestede?
A) Yaya + Hazard
B) Silva + Payet + 2.5B
B
B
Thanks fellas
Ok then, which option:
A) Yaya and Ozil
B) Silva and ChadliB
B
B
C) Yaya and Depay
On a WC, would you go?
A) 2*4.5m GK
B) 4.5m & 4m GKA
B if the cash isn't too critical. If short Butland and McCarthy for 8.5 could work out well
A
or 4.0 and 5.0 (Migs or Romero or Fab or Adrian when off suspension)
According to Sky's gossip column Ivanovic will be dropped against WBA
Ground will tremble...
Why? Because Brom's right mid Morrison is so fast....Ivano will raid down the left I think. Its just gossip I reckon
A. When will Ben Foster return to injury?
B. Which one that more nailed on? Kolarov or Gomez?Foster already injured, so doesn't need to return to injury. Actually, I haven't read any firm timetable
Right now? Probably Kolarov
Hi guys,
Im on a wildcard and can't decide between Kompany or Kolorov. I would prefer getting Kolorov since he's cheaper and is more likely to return assist points but rotation with Clichy is an issue for me if I'm going to pay 5.5mYou know the risks.
Follow your heartDon’t overlook Shaw.
I've got a decent enough bench if Kolarov doesn't play.. If you have players like Oxford Targett to come on then go for Kompany.
I’ve got another cliffhanger
A) Kolarov/Kone
B) Gomez/VardyA
b
B
Will Kone play regulary?
No, he's fighting for a spot. I'd avoid for the time being because of rotation and VsX
Kone will be rotated with Mirallas when he's fully fit
Could someone please help explain how to use your wildcard to benefit monetarily?
I am very confused!
Much thanks
NumbersSimple, but players who are going to rise before they do and then sell them when they have increased.
Take a look: http://www.fiso.co.uk/crackthecode.php
Guys thoughts on this wc team? No sanchez or haz but might get them in later
courtois mccarthy
kolarov shaw Gomez morgan Richards
yaya mata ozil payet mahrez
kun gomis dioufFair call I think Mata is being overlooked.
Like the team a lot. If Kolarov/Gomez dont play you've got good players off the bench.
one of the better WC teams Ive seenCheers mate. Good to know the tinkering has worked somewhere. Have 0.4m itb. Gomez in for now for the price rise. Might take him out later for a 4.5m. And try and use the 0.5m extra some place
Sounds good but still worried about your defence fixtures
Defence fixtures? Suggestions?
This is mine
Ruddy Butland
Ogbonna Kolarov Ward Richards Francis
Sanchez Depay Payet Mahrez Mane
Aguero Gomis Wilson
what do you think? I'm contentMane for me is a bit flash in the pan and not worth his price. Looks solid otherwise
I'm sticking, big fan of his
cool, hope it works out
Same thing for Hazard
Best forward for 5.2? Kone?
Is he nailed on?
Iglaho
thanks guys - thats the problem, I think he is not but looks good form wise
Payet (C) anyone? Don't have Aguero so....
Goal + Assist + 3 BAP
Different WC team...
Kompany - Shaw - Muniesa (Olsson, Targett)
Silva - Sanchez - Memphis - Shaqiri - Albrighton
Aguero - Diouf (Deeney)
A little punty, but worth a shout?i like it a lot, do Kompany to Kolarov. Targett to Morgan or another 4.5
westwood or obertan?
obetan looked impressiv last yr b4 his injuryWith Gestede around I wouldn’t sleep on Westwood
Good morning all
Anyone care to tell how D Sakho has played his two games?
I believe he missed a sitter in last match, but is he worth a spot in wc team anymore?
Atm deciding between him and Diouf and Sakhos fixtures look better for next three games (bench gw4) and I'm not sure if Diouf is absolutely nailed on.Sakho lively and unlucky not to score, if I wasn't worried about Diouf playing 90 minutes as the striker then I would have him
Thanks.
Maybe I'll go for Sakho and hopefully have ft to make switch later.
Diouf is 100% nailed
Butland\Schmeichel
Darmian\Williams\Kolarov(Richards,Reid)
Shelvey\Depay\Silva\Mahrez\Sánchez
Agüero\Sakho(Watmore)
0.8ltb
good to go??Looks good. Downgrade Reid and do Shelvey>Montero?
yeah my bad.. actually i did Reid>> Ward forgot to put that 🙂
Yeah Montero is good so far, but set pieces,corners and long range strikes tilted me towards Shelvey. 2 chances he has created in 2 games both were converted into goal( little unfortunate on the Gomiz penalty not to get the assist against Chelsea)
Depay looks a steal on last night's evidence.....he is flying!
He wasn't a steal 24 hours ago, quite the opposite in fact.
all were waiting for a goal or 2 to jump on him. also this is his 2nd match on his preferred position as winger.
Should have scored against villa. Add to that set pieces and also corners nailed on him i guess.Aye it was only his second game as a LW. Still the fixtures get tough after Newcastle.
Steven Whitaker, welcome to my team.
why not Martin.. I'm deciding on a 4.5 at the moment. I still like Francis
Silva/Payet or Yaya/Depay?
a
sorry for re post missed ward
re-posting.

good to go??
good..
going 3-5-2??yeah 3-5-2 🙂
In your opinions which set of transfers is better for -8
Hazard > Silva
Walcott > Puncheon
Kane > Aguero
Hennessey > Ruddy
or
Fabregas > Silva
Walcott > Yaya
Kane > Gomis
Hennessey > Ruddy
Any ideas would be welcomed
No need to get Hennessey in.
I like A better but Puncheon has poor fixtures. Maybe Mahrez?
Kane > Aguero
Hazard > Yaya/Payet/Ayew (depends on funds left after 1st transfer)
and NO HITS
I won't be joining the Depay bandwagon.
There is no doubt Depay took his goals well last night but the defending was poor. Any decent defender would just show him down the line and prevent him coming inside on his right.I fully agree but he does take a decent amount of shots per game.
He's quick and agile enough to make space to shoot, great dribbler. Plus Mata will feed him one on ones. I've got him for 1 week vs NEW to see how he goes, then to YYT for (WAT)
Sanchez and hazard has scored many goals coming inside in EPL time and time.. is that mean there are no decent defender in EPL?? Both the finish are exquisite and this is 2nd games on wings(his preferred position) and he already has 10 shots(5 shots per game)
who would you rather have in comparison to the 8.5 price tag
YYT or Carzola
Play...
A) Schmeichel
B) Cech
1) Lens
2) Deeney
C) Toby
D) ClyneB
2
CThis.
Ok, thank you both. 🙂
Lawro, sure let's play chess! Have I played you already? I have forgotten who is who re chess usernames and ffs.
My chess.com username is joegreenwood86 anywayOh I remember now. Lawro42 haha. Invited
Should I stick with Chadli ? Or transfer him to Ayew ? ...or Payet? (I'm on WC)
I'd stick with Chadli if he's not close to dropping in price
Tough call, Spurs fix's arent bad but Ayew and Payet are in-form. Depends if you have Gomis or Sakho or Kouyate?
I dont have any of those players
