We delve into the Gameweek 3 data this evening in our first members article of the week. Up front, we assess Bournemouth, Chelsea and Liverpool’s lone forwards, whilst there’s plenty to analyse in the centre of the park, as we take a look at some standout statistics from Villa, Palace, United, West Ham and Norwich.
Payet out for ...
A) Chadli
B) Coutinho
C) Ayew
D) Shaqiri
E) Keep Payet
E
D
Transfers are too valuable to be doing swaps like this. E.
😆
Neil's back! 🙂
+1
I like B for this week
First of all, why do you want to ship him out?
Give him some time. One or maybe two blanks don't mean he'll not deliver..Cheers guys! Keep it is
E
Is Doos around?
Just wanted to know what do you feel about Payet's prospects now when Sakho maybe our being arrested.
Does it dampen the moral of the team as a whole or Payet now would have more chances of goals?
Has no-one on this site even heard of Habeas Corpus. Or understood it?
The moral is not great, on account of two poor performances, not on account of some dubious arrest warrants ...Point taken...
If you keep aside the fact that you support them, do you feel West ham will beat Liverpool?
Who here moderates community submissions? I have submitted an article on GW4 captaincy, is it likely to hit the site in time?
What corpse? Who's dead?
i've heard of it, read it's definition at least twice in the past, and still don't know what it is 😀 but my brain is faulty and only retains fun information
see. that apostrophe is proof 😀
Doos is using it in the layman sense that you can't detain a person without conviction and sentence. Don't bother with the legal definition.
Who is alleging that Sakho is wrongfully detained? Surely he is back home by now?
depends if he's injured or not. He certainly won't be locked up next week
West Ham have had a bid for Yilmaz accepted, so there may be a new forward for Payet to work with 😉
Which is better?
A) Pedro + Redmond
B) ayew + coutinhoB
Can you do both?;)
B until more info available.
B
If both play each gameweek
Conclusive. Thanks guys - was keeping me up at night. Midfield will be
Sanchez - silva - coutinho - ayew - mahrez
Happy with that
Thoughts on my WC team?
Ruddy - (Rudd)
Kolorav - Gomez - Shaw (Richards - Steven Taylor)
Sanchez - Silva - Pedro - Redmond - Mahrez
Aguero - Gomis (Graham)
I have nothing in the bank, Any improvements that need to be made??Ruddy/Rudd doesn't seem like the best combo anymore.
The attack seems fine but Gomis' fixtures turn a bit worse.
Shaw vs Gomis? Maybe start Richards
I like it
I like it a lot. Also considering the exact same midfield but think I might go for ayew+coutinho over Pedro+Redmond. Am also running 352
Pick one to play this gameweek?
A) Darmian (swa)
B) Williams (MUN)
C) Morgan (bou)
Other playing defenders are Kolarov and Gomez.
Cheers!
A.
A
I feel Morgan has the highest chance of a clean sheet
I'm not sure I fancy any of them for a cleanie! Darmian maybe best attacking prospect but also loves a YC!
B
Going to decide after Depay's performance today.
A) Depay -> Cout. Hold Gomis this week.
B) Depay + Gomis -> Shaqiri + Tekkers (Those juicy home fixtures)
C) Depay + Gomis -> Diouf + Coutinho
Chadli/Gradel over Shaqiri?
Your opinions hold much value.
PS
Got one free transfer. Other will be a hit. Don't mind taking that as i am one transfer ahead.
One transfer ahead ?
Keep Depay and GomisBut those pool fixtures..
I think I'm also in the same boat. Need to decide whether to ditch Depay or Ozil. Can decide this tonight
A. Not worth the hit to remove Gomis.
this
Depay to Chadli FT
Yay or Nay?Shaqiri?
Did he look good on the weekend? Haven't seen any of the games
No he didn't...he looked knackered.
Nay...unless you plan on using that 1.5M elsewhere
No.
All being well with price rise\falls. I would expect to have the below team in the coming weeks -
Can I get a rating out of 10 for this??
Butland
Francis\Williams\Gomez
Coutinho\Silva\Pedro\Sanchez\Mahrez
Aguero\Gomis
Mccarthy\Watmore\Richards\Targett.
8.5/10
Needs a Man City defender. Swap Williams to Sagna?
I'm also not convinced that having a non-playing forward is the best way to utilise squads, though I know a lot of people on here think otherwise! You could swap one of your mids to Westwood and then upgrade watmore to the forward from the same team (e.g. coutinho out, westwood in + watmore out, benteke in).
If you're on a WC then be aware that Swans fixtures turn for the worse starting from now. I have Gomis and probably keeping for this weekend but he is on my radar to be ditched. If you downgrade Gomis to Wilson (and do the Liverpool move above) then you can upgrade your defence.
I am in a very similar situation to you with a lot of funds taken up by a powerful front 8 and am thinking along these lines...
Scott Sinclair's such a troll.. Does nothing first two games, gets dropped to the bench for the 3rd when he would have came off the bench for me then gets another hatrick last night!
They were playing Notts County, but of a different prospect to the PL
I know but still annoying! He's now the second highest scoring striker in The Sun game 😠Ha
@Doosra...Where do you stand on the Pedro pick ?
He doesn't like it
What about you...what do you think ?
Will likely be very good. I'm holding out to have an proper look though.
it's a wait and see for me
😆
is Jordan so common a man's name that liverpool's team containing three of them is to be viewed as anything other than normal? i'm suspicious
Would it be nuts to consider buying Pedro and Hoolahan in place for Ayew and Payet for 4 point hit? Would give me...
Butland
Kolorov, Darmian, Gomez, Richards
Pedro, Silva, Sanchez, Mahrez
Aguero, Gomis
Subs: Ruddy, Huth, Hoolahan, KoneI wouldn't do it
Completely bonkers! Your team is fine as it is.
don't like it at all. Ayew & Payet are huge attacking threats. Pedro has just joined and Hoolahan is not nailed on as he will likely get rested at times
Don't do it!
A. start Darmain and bench Sakho
B. start Sakho and bench Darmain
C. Sakho >> Diouf or Wilson?
Please suggest..
Thanks!C to Diouf
^This
This.
C to Wilson
C to Wilson
Butland - McCarthy
Shaw - Kolarov - Gomez - Ward - Richards
Silva - Sanchez - Payet - Mahrez - Westwood
Kun - Benteke - Vardy
.3 ITB 1 FT
Tempted to slip in Wilson for Vardy, even though they're both on good fixtures.
Kneejerk?
Vardy > Wilson is a good shout. I'd do it because you have Mahrez.
Mind helping me below
Someone mentioned the above average number of clean sheets over last 3 game weeks last page. Just random statistical outlier or is it a function of nearly every team playing 451 these days?
i'd call it 4231 cos the pedants are out in force these days and it's better not to tempt them with little scraps
Morning all.....
Connsidering I have no attack from Che, Liv or Ars, who is more essential for the next few GWs?
Coutinho
Benteke
Costa
Pedro
Sanchez
??I'd say Sanchez. Explosion imminent.
Liverpools fixtures are crazy though and tekkers %40 ownership is worrying me
I'm with GB. Sanchez.
Casual Liverpool fans *mostly*
Sanchez for me. He's looked good.
Who are your attackers? None from those three? Wow.
Anyhow, Sanchez will score the most points from those. Valuewise im not sure which id choose
The New Gerrard? Looked proper happy in the post-match interview after debut at the Emirates..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKJEB_6p3mo&app=desktopHappiest post-match interview ever
Reminds of a younger Gerrard who also had a similar physique. I think he'll become good but there will be no next Gerrard for ages. Maybe Can though.
It's always nice to keep your FT. Your transfer will be useful next week when we have more information. You never know if a member on your team will be suspended, get injured or even arrested too.
Yeah 2FT for the break should be more valuable then some kneejerk jump. Too bad the Wilson price jump might tilt the odds.
Please RMT for next week:
Ruddy (Myhill)
Mert Azpi Cedric
Hazard (vc) Sterling Ozil Mahrez (Bentaleb)
Aguero (c) Gomis Defoe
Took a hit to bring in Aguero this week, WC still availableDecent that. Ruddy/Myhill isnt great but other than that is looks good to go.
(Nice to see other people struggling with the sinking ship named Bentaleb as 5th mid)
What rank are you because that is pretty decent without using a WC?
890,000 😀
I'm seeing no LIV or MUN coverage. Don't really like ARS def or Özil.
Might have done a Mert -> MUN def
Özil -> sideswap to Ramsey might be an option. He was all over LIV in the second half on Monday.I am an Arsenal fan, I had Rooney till this GW and shipped him before his price gets lower.
I am getting Coutinho/Benteke on my WC when I play it
my friend just joined my money league with the team name 'benteken to the top'. but as he's bottom of the table, 'benteken from behind ' wud be a more suitable name, amirite. (but, as and bottom. 3 bum puns in the space of 4 words. huzzah
who'd you start:
Richards (SUN) or Francis (LEI) ?
Francis looked very threating vs WHU and one assist was a minimum. Though I think they have lower chance to keep a CS than AVL does vs Sunderland...Richards
Francis
Francis
Richards!
Probably Richards, although I fancy them both to concede, because lets be honest Lens will get another assist!
Richards
How do we think Burak Yilmaz would fare in the PL?
I recall him being a popular UCL fantasy pick, has a great record too.Sakho > Benteke/Diouf -4?
Yes, Benteke imo
Cheers for the response mate, I was thinking about it a lot and I figure Benteke will surely be at least a goal better than Sakho mow right?
Need opinion on my team
Hart-McCarthy
Shaw-Azpi-Gomez-Francis-Targett
Silva-Sanchez-Coutinho-Shaqiri-Mahrez
Aguero-Wilson-Jerome
0ITBIs this a wildcard team?
Looks good!
haha ye it is ive given into temptation had to play my wc
is bloudy MANE gonna play this week?
Thoughts on my Wildcard team? Pretty template I think, 0.3m in the bank. Not sure whether to have Gomez over Francis, was thinking probably not as he's a potential rotation risk and I don't want to be making transfers on defence going forward. Also he'll be suspended after 2 more games!
Butland,
Kolarov, Azpi, Darmian,
Sanchez, Silva, Chadli, Mahrez,
Aguero, Benteke, Wilson
Schmeichel, Francis, Westwood, Oxforddont think united are going to hold up against swansea
thinking the same here. might bench shaw replace him with francis or bacuna
exactly the same benching shaw playing francis
Darmian to 4.5/ 5.0 and Oxford up
Have a feeling this week's bandwagon trades could set up to be like the Rooney Ramsey > Tadic Aguero trade around GW6-8 of last season - won't pay off immediately but over the next 2-3 GWs could be huge.
Question is - which of the bandwagons? Yaya or Silva & Diouf or Wilson?Silva and Diouf. 😉
Problem I have with Diouf is his goals (or as far as i've seen anyway) have mostly been easy tap ins or off defensive errors - doesn't strike me as a striker who makes his own chances. Not convinced on the Stoke attack yet.
Not too sure about Wilson, but he's got a good goal pedigree at least.
You could say Wilsons have been tap ins and defensive errors too - but they all count.
this season's goals for Wilson at least.
His youtube highlights look good 😆 😆I've gone for Wilson - but that's because it's all I can afford. Would probably prefer Diouf, to be honest. Wilson will get me a price boost, but is more difficult to replace if/when a transfer needs to be made, so I'm factoring this in too.
Silva nd Wilson imo
Silva and Wilson
Azpi (CRY), Targett (NOR), Mert (new), Gomez (WHU), Huth (bou)
Bench 2 please, who 1st on the bench ?Mert and Huth i guess. Going with the homies
Thanks! I thought Newcastle may park the bus as vs United. Put them the way I see it.
Tough one that. Id deffo bench Huth, and probably also bench Targett. Targett first on the bench
LvG on Fellaini: he will play on 10 or 9 this season. Could this mean he can replicate his last season at Everton? If he's starting at 10 tonight and this weekend as well I'm getting him on my WC during the break. Could be a great bargain at 6.5m
could be a great move
Won't start.
Good to go?
Butland (McCarthy)
Gomez - Shaw - Kolorov (Williams, Richards)
Mahrez - Sanchez - Depay - Payet (Westwood)
Aguero - Lukaku - Gomis
1.4itb, 1xFT.
Best to save for 2xFT in int break I reckon, but itching to change something!
I'm playing Westwood ahead of Payet but that's just me. Pretty good side GL
Considering the same. As a Liverpool fan Ill be doubly gutted if he scores agains us if he isnt in my team though!
