As always, we delve into the Gameweek 5 data in our first members article of the week. Arsenal’s midfield and Leicester’s form pair arrive under analysis, whilst we also cast an eye over Everton and West Ham’s playmakers after both guided their respective sides to victory.
How did Martial look tonight? I can do Rooney -> Martial in a draft league
That would be ill advised
Looked more like the new Macheda than the new Henry.
lol cheers
Really? He looked way better than Rooney. His hold up play and link up with Memphis were great.
Nonsense.
General consensus is that he looked strong, great hold up play...linked up with Memphis very well. He's looks promising.
Not sure what Captain Shirokov is on about...Cheers Daley, would you do the switch?
With Shaw on red is he likely to drop in price or is it fixed ??
It may be locked. Should be ...
For a Def at 5.6/5.7 I wouldn't worry too much until Friday, maybe save FT and get rid next week
The drop threshold increases, but his price is not locked.
2 FTs...what do? Helpppp
Cech, McCarthy
Gomez, Darmian, Targett, Sagna, Saylor
Yaya, Mahrez, Pedro, Kouyate, Westwood
Aguero, Costa, Benteke
Looks good, just Saylor & Costa looking a bit weak atm...
Could trade Cech & Darmian to DDG & Bellerin, gain £0.4M (I just did this with the Shaw news)? Otherwise all good imo
id probably downgrade costa and either upgrade kouyate or upgrade targett as thats not a well nailed on defence
Which of these 2 should I play?
Williams (EVE)
or
Prodl (new)B
Prodl
Thanks gents!
Does anyone have any damning evidence that can convince me to go ahead with Mane > Ayew?
Pre Season I was convinced that Mane was going to be one of my main men and I'm sure he'll get amongst the goals soon, but will Ayew outscore him? Thoughts appreciated.
Hey guys
So what's the story with Kompany?
Tweets
Calf injury hopefully know more tomorrow
Whats all this talk of Rogers resting Benteke? Surely not. They're not exactly in a position to rest him
Europa League mate
I think its just for the Europa game, Im sure he wants us out of it
Europa league. Makes sense to give Ings or Origi a run. Did wonders for Kane's confidence last season.
Wouldn't be a bad thing if he was and BR plays Ings alongside Origi. The latter offers speed and movement.
I see, but still risky in my opinion considering their effort against man utd.
Reedy.
Francis is now getting transferred in, so he won't drop.
Splendid, thanks Horse. That latest assist must have done the trick!
Also Huth is helping with that.
Ah yes. I'm still not sure I trust the Bournemouth backline (even against Sunderland) but it's not the most pressing of transfers. I'll probably leave it then.
who to play ? costa, sakho, defoe
Dude, if you have a player like Costa you play him every week.
but he still not delivering points, specially infront arsenal ?
Then sell him. Way too expensive to rot on the bench.
this
Costa & Defoe. Hard to see Sakho doing anything at Man City.
If ur going to be benching costa then just transfer him out
So does Aguero look good to go for west ham?
See pressers Friday, may not play full game (or could get injured again during game) keeping and playing but I think I will look elsewhere for a captain
I just wanna have the armband on him for the inevitable big haul, would really kill my season if I dont captain him when get gets it
butland
kolarov/ francis/ darmian
pedro/ sanchez/ mahrez/ silva
aguero/ Wilson/ gomis
maccarthy/ Richards/ surman/ muniesa
save? If all fit to go?
Urgh, awful bench dilemma this week....Yes, i know i shouldn't have got myself in this situation anyway
Mahrez, Yaya, Sanchez, Chadli, Ayew
Wilson, Diouf, Aguero
Who to leave out?Aguero might make that decision for you yet.
Pelli might answer that question for you
Id say Ayew has the worst fixture I guess
Probably Chadli, but could turn out badly though.
Chadli
chadli for me.
Ouch.. Probably Chad or Ayew
If all fit maybe AOA?
Already used sadly
woof, how'd it go?
Chadli for me
Saving all out attack? Why not use it
Never mind, seen what u said to keep the faith
Possibly Ayew. Agree that's a tough one.
Cheers for replies
Maybe Chadli but not ideal.
Is the chip out of the question?Another vote for Chadli from me
I'd bench Diouf, but it seems like it's only me then.
Aguero 😉
Chadli for me
Thank you
guys i dont want to lose 0.1 cuz huth will drop tonight .. who i bring in plz advise?
i have kolorov..francis .gomez..targetAre you convinced 0.1 is that important? If yes then Soare.
i have 1 m in the bank
Schmeichel
Fonte Skrtel Kolarov // Ward, Oxford
Payet Hazard Sanchez Depay // Westwood
Aguero Deeney // Watmore
- Currently have 2 FT, was considering the following transfers for the next two gameweeks. Would appreciate some advice:
Depay and Ward > Coutinho and Muniesa
or
Depay and Watmore > Hoolahan and Martial/Pelle
- Captained Payet for his master class on MNF. For the next few weeks, I will continue to take punts on my captain, providing they have nice fixtures.
Who would you recommend captaining this week as a differential?
Thank you for readingSanchez
I couldn't possibly captain Sanchez away at the Bridge regardless of the form Chelsea are showing.
Contradicting yourself then if you're saying you're a punt master?!
Providing they have nice fixtures.
Bottled it!!
aguero status:best option thnx
1.kun>bentek
2.wilson>bentek
3.gomis >bentek
4.Keep all 3 kun gomis wilson4.
Keep. Wait for news
On Kun
ok

Guys i need help think i need to WC, no bench and no FT atm
Kompany Shaw Clyne
Hazard Touré Mahrez Ayew
Wilson Gomis Agüero
subs -Schwarzer Gomez Gamboa Andreu
WC to this?
Myhill
Kolarov Darmien Dawson
Sanchez Silva Ayew Mahrez
Gomis Aguero Wilson
bench - mccarthy, Gomez, Hoolahan, Nyom?
What do you think?
Pointless.
Probably not even worth taking a hit let alone a WC.
Took a punt on Michail Antonio walking into the first team at west ham with my draft team, should I ditch after Moses played ahead of him?
Probably, Moses had a good game
Probably!
Sorry Chickens, but I can't trust you as your in the league 😛
Well aware of this!!
Lurkers citeh..I have previous i think telling mrreilley that he was well behind lanzini and moses
Maybe useful later in season imo
Thats like saying I don't trust because you also play fpl
It's not. Draft league is much more about screwing people over as two people can't have the same player. I have myself in the past convinced people to drop players so I could pick them up!
Yerr draft offers much more intrigue
Some people just want to watch the world burn
It keeps my hands toasty 😉
I think it's Moses place to lose now...
I'd ditch but suggest you keep all season 😆
Tbh he looked great last season but probably needs time to settle in😀 Also I have a triple united midfield to sort out 😕
Or should I just go the whole hog and do Antonio -> Ashley Young?Or I could trade you Schneiderlin for Sterling 😆
haha jog on GK
Dropped Silva for Ayew last week due to his injury, would you do:
A: Hazard ---> Silva
B: Ayew ---> Silva
C: Save FTA
Save for the probability of KdB racking up points. That is if you have a city forward or midfielder already.
Nope just Kolorov and Aguero. Need a city mid
You've kept the faith with last years player of the year.
Silv / Haz looks better on paper to me. I like Ayew and with Montero back it can only benefit him but I feel long term those two.
Butland (Ruddy)
Kolarov, Azpi, Cedric (Francis, Huth)
Hazard, Özil, Mahrez, Chadli (Wanyama)
Agüero, Benteke, Wilson
2FT, 0.9 ITB
Any Ideas?I like it. Not feeling the Chadli love though. Maybe Chadli > Payet? He looks the real deal.
Wait one week imo
Kompany out.... Could be Citeh's first league game in which they concede.
Gotta feel sorry for Shaw. Was finally starting to get going and looking good. Brutal 🙁
Terrible for the lad hope he makes it back to represent his country in the euros
Right lads, which move should I do this week?
Kane to Gomis or Ritchie to Ayew? Or both for a hit?Personally I would give Kane one last chance vs Palace.
Ayew.
Kane to Gomis
Ayew
Gomis
Seems like a coin toss then. Cheers lads.
Pick two from these
Souare(tot)
Darmian (sou)
Williams (eve)
Richards (wba)
Im currenty on Souare and Darmian.1 & 4
might just go with this
+1
Darmian and Williams
nah not keen on williams against everton.
Everton have been on fire and who knows if Southampton will show up. On top of that CP ARE SOLID. Just my input thanks for considering that.
yep agree with you, richards also has that tendency to get forward, so that's good enough for me
Me too
That's the thing.. most people do.
Am I safe to get Benteke this week?
What do we think will happen when Sturridge returns? And when will that be?Rodgers will probably play Sturridge out wide because he is in love with 433
Been listening to Jamie Carragher?
I hate Carra, cant listen to him, what did he say?
Just how much Arogers loves 4-3-3 and plays players out of their best positions just to fit the formation.
I agree with him, if he played Ings out wide, I see no reason why Sturridge won't be
How safe is Rodgers?
Safer than my position in LMS 😉
Since the 1st 3 GWs, you have qualified easily.
I have, starting to get confident, thats probably a bad sign
Benteke all the way.
Might just get him tonight. Just in case Pelle drops.
Get em while the gettin is good.
@ Diva. Do you have anything useful from your stats that tells me anything useful about Janmaat?
Hi Cheese, I haven't looked. I'll do so and get back to you.
Cheers Diva. I have bought the snaky little Geordie bugger now. Janmaat all the way!
The good news Cheese is he's shooting well for a defender. The bad news is his assist potential has dropped significantly from last year, based on the small sample size so far.
His sample is smaller than most because of the red card as well. Have taken the punt now. I plan to bring in a West Brom defender as well next week. The problem with not wildcarding is you can't sort out some of this rubbish painlessly.
I can see it now, another poor week for Aguero and masses sell him prior to his big haul against spurs the following week (if you can remember last season :))
It was at the ethiad last season
I still think he got a good score away to spurs last season, great goal scoring record against them
Everyone seems to have a great scoring vs spurs 😉
They are a good enough team to be taken very Seriously but not good enough to stop big teams, perfect for big players
This is true and my step dad supports them!
Am tempted by Bony. If Pellegrini mentions Aguero will be on the bench then I guess many will switch to Benteke.
If he blanks in the next 3 games would you part with him?
What should I do with depay..got taken off so early last game .. are people ditching?
He scored a beauty tonight. But got rid of him a few weeks back and he still did nothing.
I would not wait any longer.Scored tonight. Tricky run of fixtures for United but that might be what they need.
Any pressing changes?
Butland - (Schmei)
Kosc - Kompany - Gomez - (Williams - Oxford)
Yaya - Mahrez - Mane - Ayew - (Bentelab)
Aguero - Tekkers - Wilson
2 FT and 4.9 ITB.
Oxford -> Dawson and save other FT?
Or
Oxford + Mane -> Dawson + Cout?Just the 1st perhaps. Double Pool attack seems excessive.
True. Cheers!
Oxford to Dawson looks sound. Maybe keep Mane for the 'Utd transfer rumours' twist ... The spotlight should be on him.
Yeh. What's this rumour?!
I think there's gonna be a lot of rotation in that City midfield. De Bruyne and Sterling aren't nailed on.
KdB over Silva for me.
At this stage Silva isn't even nailed, they can easily afford to rest him in games before or after Champions league
Silva is nailed.
Nasri is hardly an option atm. Navas may get the odd game due to his pace.
Nasri will be in and out the side at Sterling's expense especially. Definitely.
Silva is the best option.
I think it will happen at Christmas . There won't be a lot of rotation for a while at least
It's a nightmare Yaya is surely safe until we se how it takes shape
Who will play LB with Shaw out?
Blind with Rojo Cb
Ah, forgot about Rojo
Ashley Young might even get a few games at lb
