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.
Really in doubt which 3. striker to choose, max. 6.4:
A) Vardy
B) Wilson
C) Deeny
D) Kone
E) Zarate
F) Diof
G) Other suggestions?
Diouf and Shaqiri could be hot
Ighalo, Jerome or Gestede are my considerations.
Thanks, so many choices...
Vardy out of those for me.Was unlucky last weekend not to get assist when Okazaki took two headers to put his chance away and is playing with confidence.Possibly Diof also.
A) Depay/Mata + Chadli
B) Gylfi + Payet
C) Silva + Shelvey
D) Any other 2 mids for 15.5m
What do you guys reckon? Think I'm going to WC after this gameweek, so long term fixtures not too important.Payet and whichever you don't already have of Ayew, Mahrez and Mane
People saying have decent cover for Kolarov, I noticed that unlike other defenders, he tends to come on as a sub several times.
Having said that, it's seems I'll never learn and have gone with Kolarov for now. Just way more exciting than Kompany.
No guts, no glory mate! We have to take a chance or two to succeed. I'm on him too!
He's going to score a couple one of these days!
yes stay away from him
Kolarov is my favourite FPL player, so much fun. The safety of players playing and getting points regularly is so boring, style is important. Just waiting for Carroll te get fit now so i can have my dream team
I asked this the other day, but got no reply... Why on earth is Courtois only serving a 1 match ban for a straight red? I thought by default that was 3 games? Am I missing some nuance of that rule?
professional foul = 1 game
violent conduct = 3 games
direct or indirect RC irrevalantGood man! Suppose you're never likely to get a straight red as an outfield player for a simple, "professional foul" (which, but the way, is a terrible term isn't it!?)
there's mate.
example: sometime one striker in position to score, the last defender or GK pull his shirt to prevent him = RC (professional foul), or a player use his hand to save goal conceded...Oh ok... and that's a one match ban. Scandalous in my book!! I'm a stickler for fair play though.
Cheers for the insight mateOX/Gibbs red card last season
I hate this rule. Why should you get a shorter ban for deliberately cheating?
Courtois.. not serious play.. 1 game ban
Adrian.. studs-up, waist-high challenge.. serious play.. 3 games
wow, after 2 goals last night, Depay is now in every WC team here. How does the template change so quickly LOL?
This is why it's too early to WC
This.
And a Assist
An assist that required somebody to be in the box. Something Rooney doesn't do anymore.
And they've been bobbins in the league. its just kneejerking and bandwagoning
Wonder how many did Depay to Mahrez/Ayew etc to fund Kun before the Brugge game
A ton
And how many are signing him back today at the expense of someone else (WCers that is).
Any WC card teams manage to fit Haz, Silva, Sanchez and Aguero?? I'm 0.3m out and would love to know how to do it without killing my defence..
I've got all bar Hazard and happy (several visits to the back of the sofa upcoming)
Same here which is the first time for 2 seasons he's been out of my team, very worried he'll get a couple vs Brom this weekend...
I saw one that had them.
For memory it was this;
Myhill, Mccarthy
Lovren, Williams, Gomez, Francis, Huth
Haz, Sanchez, Silva, Mahrez, Westwood
Kun, Gomis, Wilson
Obviously they must have got them before price rises and I can't remember if they had Oxford tooMost are forgoing Hazard. I've also gone without Silva and doubled down on Kompany and Kolarov instead.
Uh oh
This is what it should look like with Haz, Sanchez and Kun. You could adjust for Silva but you'd seriously be lacking in DEF and the two other strikers.
64.5m to allocate among 12 players
4.5 4.5
5.5 5 4.5 4.5 4
x x 7.5 6 4.5
x 8.5 5.5I've managed:
Butland McCarthy
Kolarov Shaw Richards Martin Targett
Haz Sanchez Silva Mahrez Westwood
Kun Gomis Ighalo
But that leaves me -0.3.. could go Ighalo--->4.5 and play 3 5 2 but don't really want that eitherKill your strikeforce instead?
Think I'll flag it for now and hid behind my couch for the Chelsea Vs Brom game this weekend haha
Is Vardy as good as it gets for 6.0?
Diouf (6.5) or Gestede
I like Vardy yeah.
Yup, overlooked because everyone has Mahrez fever.
Looked very good so far, goals will come imo
Thanks. Think I'm on the right track...
Love this article! This article is alone worth the membership money!
agreed.
I wish there was a separate members only section for the members articles so we could discuss them. Difficult to discuss members stats without giving a lot away so no one ends up discussing em
not suggesting elitism.. just a sub forum for members alongside the main forum(Which is one of the main draws of the site)
yup!
what does it say.. Diouf/Pelle/Sakho? 🙂
become a member Siva
Yup 🙂
Romero looks so unconvincing on the ball... Like he will concede a blunder goal anytime...
Let the transfer window shut... and De gea between the sticks...Needs to happen. DDG will perform better surely, especially now that Jones isn't starting.
Jenkinson nailed?
yes he's
Yes
Help Please
A) Kompany and Hoolahan
B) Kolarov and RedmondB
Thats what im thinking, if i choice B) should i start Redmond or Diouf this gameweek?
I like going with a striker is always good and Diouf’s supporting case is more impressive. Shaqiri Afellay Ireland
This back line things killing me.
A) Hart/Gomez
B) Butland/KolarovB .. worth the risk
B
B
Don't like paying more than 5mill on a GKB
United don't look fluid going forward. Have tough fixtures after Newcastle. Depay looked average in his first 2 games. Enough reason to avoid him for now.
Indeed. Club Brugge are not premier league quality.
They're not even Championship quality
avoid imo
Depay or Ozil? I have Shaw but no other Arsenal coverage.
i have Ozil and i'm very happy with him.
Anyone not going Aguero captain this GW3? If not who you on?
Gomis to score loads against a faltering SUN def. You heard it here first
Good luck with that
Gomis?
Also considering Sanchez, but maybe that's fan bias.
Good shout
I'm on Aguero but I'm tempted by Sanchez and Sakho
\o/
Sanchez
Hazard here
Pelle or Diouf ???
not considering the money partDiouf
Would love to see the likes of Hazard Walcott Sterling etc explode this weekend and the likes of Yaya Payet Ayew blank just to see the over-reaction on this site. Crazy how hot and cold people are with players who have blanked in a GW
Very possible it will go that way..
ppl will demand their WC right back.... 😛
TOTALJUSTICE 🙂
Walcott could.. if he starts.. would he start is the question..
Sterling wouldn't worry me with Silva/Yaya/Aguero involved in assists/goals..
Hazard is Hazard.. he will come good..
Even if you don't wildcard - Walcott is still a poor player to still have.
Ya I sold him this GW to fund Kun. The players I mentioned are just examples, Mane and a few more in the same boat.
Looking like any double risers this week?
Kompany and Marhez
Kun
Yaya
I'm currently on Mata but had Memphis in my old team, thinking of going back to Memphis due to him being more of a goal threat and when Pedro signs more nailed than Mata.
People's thoughts??
Think i am bringing in Depay for a punt, it. Was only a matter of time before he exploded, and the good thing is havent missed any of his premier league attacking points yet
Mata more central to anything that happens in ManU attack rite now...
Let Memphis score a goal in PL first....
both those goals cud have been avoided by a better defence...
Though the cross was beauty....Think i would rather have him before his goal than after
'before' for how many games... thats the ques..
after Newcastle the fixtures are tough...
And ManUtd doesn't look like dominating the game...
Even with brugge they were not that convincing when Brugge were attacking initially for 15-20 min. they only grew in dominance once Brugge set back nd settled in their half.
This article just confirms Sanchez place in my team
Captain material?
I still have doubts about him. Particularly with so much talent in the Arsenal midfield who can all score and assist. When Sanchez shoots its often in a poor position with too many players around him. That explains why 4 of his shots were blocked at the weekend.
But the problem is catching the right Arsenal midfielder on the day and he does look the most likely. I don't have him at the moment as I have Carzola will need to transfer him in.
Sure but he's 11m. Thats a lot to spend on a lottery ticket.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one having doubts about him.
Ozil is a 5ppg man. Is Sanchez a 7ppg man to justify his price?
RMT changes
WC team:
FROM
0.0m in the bank
Fabianski (Schwarzer)
Alderweireld Mangala Cedric (Williams) (Huth)
Hazard(v) Payet Mahrez Mane (Sinclair)
Rooney(c) Kane Pelle
TO
1.3m in the bank
McCarthy (Hart)
Darmian Ogbonna Ward (Williams) (Clyne)
A.Ayew Silva Mahrez Payet(v) (Albrighton)
Aguero(c) Lukaku Gomis
Saw Rooney underperforming in the Champions League qualifier. Combined with two blanks from Kane and Hazard & underwhelming Leicester defence. Decided it was time to WC to ship out Southampton, Tottenham and LEI def and to take in better defense, Crystal Palace, MCity and West Ham players.
Thoughts?Not sure on Lukaku due to fixtures and lack of Arsenal and probably too heavy in defence
Could convert Silva-> Sanchez, although that would leave me with only 2 City players and 0.3m in bank.
Not sure its a good time to buy palace players. Good fixture this week, then upit turns ugly
4.0m backup goalkeeper who actually plays and a 4.5m defender likely to get as many or even more cs in long run compared to Huth seemed reasonable to me.
Looks a bit light in midfield IMO.
I am counting on Mahrez pulling his weight. I've had him since pre-season and he's the one guy I am not WCing away.
Captain material Big gun (10-12m) + 7.5 (Payet) + 7.x (A.Ayew) + Mahrez + Benchwarmer (5.1 Albrighton) seems reasonable to me. There are plenty of 8.5 mids out there but I am not 100% convinced they are worth the extra 1m.
Is having no Chelsea cover extreme? I know they will come good but there's other players that are performing at the moment
With everyone jumping ship it's less worrying, but once they get back to form be sure to climb back on board quickly.
I think in these cases it's important to make sure you have 2 ft to make such changes
not extreme, I have a WC team with no Chelsea cover atm
Thanks I might join you there
No, they have been very poor. Better options available until they find some form imo
This is true
Indeed. And there are these things called transfers that you can use when the time comes.
You can transfer in this game?
Ha very true. When wcing I suppose you gotta pick a longevity team so you can atleast get to that 2 free transfer mark for such cases
Are non-Wildcarders shipping Rooney this week with their free transfer? He just looks so out of form...the main thing holding me back is the paucity of options.
If he couldn't performed against FC Brugge, I think Newcastle is far better than Brugge.
Only good point is his set-piece.
I sold him anyway.True, and 10.5 million is a bit much in the hope that he gets a penalty.
Won't ice cold German efficiency machine Schweinsteiger take the penalty? He has a better record.
Aguero Gomis Lukaku Giroud Benteke Pelle
I already have Kun, am put off Gomis as I have Ayew. The other 4 are definite options.
i already have Kun & Benteke & Rooney with 3 blanks + 5 , 6 & 9
i'm keeping Rooney vs Nufc then i'll sellI think I will do that, the will have two free transfers for next game week. Points have been so low weeks 1 and 2 that a -4 hit is daft.
Chelsea are set to make a dramatic bid to hijack Manchester United’s move for Barcelona forward Pedro, according to the Daily Telegraph.
United looked set to finalise Pedro’s move to Old Trafford, with Sky Sports’ Spanish football expert Guillem Balague claiming the Spaniard had agreed personal terms ahead of his proposed move after executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward flew to Spain for talks on Monday.
Chelsea have now entered the race to sign Pedro and hope to convince the Spaniard to move to Stamford Bridge after holding their own talks with Barca.
The Premier League champions ready to pounce on United’s hesitancy to match Pedro’s £21.2million release fee.
The Telegraph claim Chelsea almost signed Pedro in January, but instead went for Juan Cuadrado instead.Yes please
Probably just a rumour made up by Pedro's agent to up the price and help speed up the transfer.
lol! yeah!
