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.
Every time I see Nyom I just think of the cat...
Not havin' it anyway (y)
Quality top post (y)
🙂
butland
kolarov/ francis/ darmian
pedro/ sanchez/ mahrez/ silva
aguero/ Wilson/ gomis
maccarthy/ Richards/ surman/ muniesa
save? If all fit to go?Big IF but yes save if they all get the green light.
Looks good to me
Think Pedro is injured. Otherwise very good
cheers fellas. I got 1FT there so im good. Richards and Muniesa have decent fixtures as well to cover Aguero If need be
Same front 7.. Im saving.. I say save!
with Aguero doubtful I was planning on Kolarov as a leftfield captain this week but with Kompany out I'm having second thoughts. Who would you captain from this bunch:
kolarov
mahrez/ sanchez/ pedro/ yaya
aguero/ benteke/ wilsonIm going wilson or silva
Whos comes in for shaw? looking to offload.
Current defence. Kol, shaw, Gomez, muniesa, oxford. 2FT (lucky) 1.5 ITBDarmian, straight swap
after his bright start, I would avoid Darmian.
card magnet, and was pretty avg tonight - 2nd goal was his fault.
I'd look at Dawson or Evans.
I'm debating Naughton, Dawson, or Cedric.
Dawson or evans...why is this even being discussed??
Shaw to Nyom for this week. That leaves you with 2.5 ITB. Then you upgrade Muniesa and Oxford to WBA and Arsenal in the next few weeks.
dont mind this transfer. you rate Nyom?
I do. Watford is in good form and he's the best of their bunch. I actually have Shaw and Muniesa and was planning on transferring Muniesa for Nyom this week. With Shaw's injury, I'll now just transfer out Shaw instead.
Dawson looks like a fantastic option for shaw ..amazing fixtures
Thinking of going for Evans myself. I feel as if he has more to offer in terms of baps and goal threat.
Non Sanchez owners (if there are any)
Are you getting nervous not owning him, I am 😕 I feel as if its only a matter of time before he explodes, only the Chelsea fixture is preventing me from trying to get him this week.
If you don't own Sanchez i'd actually be excited about getting him against Chelsea 🙂
Its just a little inconvenient for me at the moment trying to find the funds without several hits. Perhaps Mourinho can finally turn it around at home.
He's come so close many times already just unlucky I guess
Apart from city and maybe Arsenal, fixtures are meaning less and less these days with the top teams terrified to attack against each other and Chelsea going AWOL
Anything and everything is happening in between
He is made for big games
Nope, not interested in owning him at all besides ownership threat. Would rather have Ozil or Caz
Sanchez has way more goal threat though? Its scary how threatening he looks.
I've watched every match and he has been massively unlucky, but the stats are making him seem like a monster. Tons of touches in the box that lead to nothing and shots that have very little chance of coming off. I don't think he's a reliable captain option and will struggle to outscore the other Arsenal mids
Interesting feedback. I think I'll stay the course and continue to monitor.
Of course, if we start clicking and free scoring it could be another story. But until then, I think Ozil or Caz with their set pieces and good BPS scores (Sanchez is terrible since he gets tackled often and shoots off target) are better to tick over
Selling him...
😯 I guess this is the other thing, I'm kind of hoping he blanks so people sell him in droves and he drops in price. Better to not own him as his stock is falling.
he's not going anywhere out of my team.
His threat at the moment is immense. It's only a matter of time before he explodesI'm keeping the cash in bank and may bring him straight back in for Leicester away if he performs vs Chelsea. I have 2FTs and need to burn one, so I'm going without Alexis temporarily to try out some punts like Shaqiri.
The nerves were what made me get him last week. He's one of two players I'm really just too scared not to own.
Fear was what made me keep him second half of the season for way too long. The double digits aren't really worth the tons of blanks in between
Coutinho-esque
Best 5.0 keeper?
Stek for the long term, Fabianski more short
Begovic long term
Butland and save the pennies
Kane to who? have 0.5 itb 1FT
Cech
Clyne, Azpi, Sagna
Mahrez, Payet, Hazard, Ayew
Kane, Aguero, Wilson
subs - hennessey, sinclair, pudil, oxford
Diouf
Im holding one more game...but Benteke if you given up on him
I would say Big Ben but Kane being a spurs player he will explode after u get rid always happens whit Spurs players
Arsenal will be without both Hector Bellerin and Aaron Ramsey for their opening Champions League group stage game with Dinamo Zagreb.
Neither the Spanish right-back or Welsh midfielder made the trip to Croatia with Arsene Wenger confirming that both players have been rested.
Mathieu Debuchy is the obvious candidate to cover Hector while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will no doubt be hoping to feature in Aaron’s role.
Think I'm still gonna sell ya Aaron
😮 no keep him! He's gonna be the freshest player on the pitch on Saturday!
Hmmmm
This is good to hear as an Arsenal fan keeping Bellerin fresh for the Hazard matchup could pay huge dividends.
Hector owned him in the Community Shield
Sup with Pedro?
There was a twitter link on the previos article I think.
Cheers pinky
Who is Utd's natural replacement for Shaw?
Rojo I think. Him and blind can play left back
cheers DG, was looking at their options on fpl and looks pretty thin. Bad blow.
Yeah poor fella. Can't catch a break 😉
Rojo at CB, Blind to move to LB. Atleast that's what happened yesterday.
tx San
MyHill (McCarthy)
Kompany, Darmian, Gomez (Richards, Target)
Sanchez, Silva, Payet, Mahrez (Westwood)
Aguero, Tekkers, Wilson
x2 FT and 1.1 ITB
Should I change kompany to kolarov ? Westwood to Hoolahan?
What would you WC this to if I choose to play it?
Begovic
Kompany Shaw Clyne
Hazard Touré Mahrez Ayew
Wilson Gomis Agüero
subs -Schwarzer Gomez Gamboa Andreu
Maybe 1/2 new defenders.
Don't think it needs a WC unless Kompany is ruled out, but Gamboa and Andreu need to go for playing options. Double Liverpool defence is also looking risky
Kompany - Kol is no brainer. who would you replace Clyne and Shaw with?
Bellerin and Dawson
Gomez could be more of an issue than Clyne.
No
Evening all
Evening Swan, guess it's about 50/50 for morning or evening.
True. Late evening here in the states for me
Basking in the glow of Payet restoring the fun in FPL. Now to face the benching dilemma for this week.
Front 8
Silva, Mane, Payet, Ayew, Mahrez
Kun, Pelle, WIlson
Assuming Kun is ruled fit, I am thinking one of the Saints should sit. Payet on fire, can't justify benching him and the potenial Kompany injury may open up space for someone to get in on the end of a cross.
Thoughts?I'd bench Pelle
Cheers
pelle or mane /I would be ditching them anyway for the foreseeable.
Don't post much here but in a big dilemma right now..
What to do with this team?
Cech (Stekelenburg)
Muniesa Kompany Richards (Darmian Jenkinson)
Sanchez Barkley Lens Montero (Fabregas)
Deeney Rooney Pelle
I know many would say I should wildcard but I want differential picks..
Do I go for:
A) Pelle -> Diouf (Before Home to MU)
B) Pelle -> Diouf (After Home to MU)
C) Something else
1 FT, 0.6M ITB.Time to sell Fabregas if you don't play him.
Have Cech and Stekelenburg being the other option... I see MU posing a greater threat than Chelsea of scoring.
Fabregas has 2x5. For 8.7 you should be playing that player every week & they should score 20 in 5, not 10.
Didn't even notice Rooney. Needs a reshuffle.
Point taken.. only have 0.6 ITB, so can afford a 9.3.
Was considering Fabregas -> Payet but West Ham play ManC away this weekend..
Fabregas -> YY?Wait a week for Payet then.
Alright, appreciate the response.
Cheers.
No sense wildcarding; as there's really no trend or pattern to speak of. Best to wait for things to shake out.
From your team, I'd look to ditch Rooney first before anyone else. Tekkers or GomisWas planning to ditch him if he blanks again after next week's home game against sunderland..
Hmm.. Benteke has a tasty run of games though.
I'd be WCing that lot
Considering it.
Your m/f is fecking genious. Keep the faith.
If Fab is kept deep though as will be the case when Oscar fills the hole / replace.
I won't advice you on who to replace him with as you are a m/f maestro.
Love the non Aguero tact also but that strikeforce needs a shake up I would suggest Defoe and Wickham.Don't know if its a positive... or slightly less positive answer . Gonna take it as the former 🙂
Have a feeling Fab will come clean in the game I least want him to... the game against Arsenal this weekend.
Probably gonna do Rooney -> Tekkers.
Already have Mahrez, Payet, Westwood, Sanchez, Depay.
Attack: Kun, Wilson and Tekkers.
Swap Depay to a) Ayew b) YYT or c) other d) Save. 1.1 ITB already.I did Depay to Brakley this week.
But you also don't have a City mid which is what should be your priority IMO.*Barkley
Hello late night scouts! Thoughts on this?
A: Hazard to Silva
B: Ayew to Silva
C: save
Did Silva to Ayew last week with my FT for cover as I had other injuries too.The other 13 would probably help.
Not sure B should be an option, since you just did the reverse. What;s the rest of the team?
Mahrez, haz, alexis, ayew, westwood
Diouf, wilson, aguero
Afew mill in the bank
A
A for me
See how Hazard does tonight.
thanks boys and girls!
LMS up to 6%?
Next GW. 6% knocked out. Around 140 out out 2300ish.
Rumours on twitter of Pedro being injured. Cant find a source anywhere!?
Apparently it was on Chelsea TV
CL tomorrow night should give more info.
Butland (Ruddy)
Kolarov Darmian Dawson (Gomez Azpi)
Ayew Sanchez Silva Mahrez (Wanyama)
Kun Gomis Wilson
gtg? is my benching correct? first sub is GomezYep g2g however I think I'd put Gomez ahead of either Darmian or Dawson
im not sure if Gomez is still nailed and i dont fancy pool getting a cs. 6 goals conceded in 2 games.
more of a reason to get the cs. 1-0 pool
It's looking likely barely any activity on the price changes tonight, could even be no changes at all I reckon, will find out in 5 minutes
Drops for sure.
Wilson to rise. Huth and a bunch of other non factors to drop
Prediction:
1 riser
4 fallersI hope Huth isn't one of them however I think today is the day..
Best Shaw replacement could be Bellerin?
Looked good in previous games. Either him or Dawson.
My defence
Panti Hennesey
Kolarov Cedric Francis Targett Huth
1FT
Should I shift Huth (price will drop) to ?
A Dawson
B Nyom
C Naughton
D save (take the drop)Either B or swap for Prodl
Take the drop like a man
FPL Price Changes, 16/09/2015
Risers: DDG, Wilson(BOU)
Fallers: Abdi, Courtois, Gueye, Mirallas, Schneiderlin, Tabanou, Wilshere, Barry, Berguis, Gouffran, Osman, Pelle, WickhamDe Gea f***
Isn't it easier to rise back to original price? Or am I making that up....
Oh wow, way off
Pelle is a real kicker for me 🙁
Got rid for Wilson last week.
Oh wow he fell, are you keeping Balders?
I'm on a WC not sure if I should bring him in or not.
Wasteful and all but he has incredible statsNo idea yet, flirting a bit with Tekkers, but also flirting with Coutinho in midfield instead.
You must have quite the reputation in the Pool dressing room with all this flirtn'
I just thought they could do with another player in that dressing room.
I took the drop. Not worried atm, he has incredible stats so hoping he'll come good in the next 2.
0.1 rise, no droppers 😯
Watching Wilson amass TV for everyone is quite annoying
Think it is point chasing at this point with Gradel out.
I'm not really interested in him,but many have 0.2m resale off him
Same
I have my eye on a punt on Wickham at some point in the season.
Thanks for update..
Wilson nice
No Huth drop lovelyWilson, get in lad
Yes! Finally my selling value is back up to 100 million! I can retire now happy. Diva do you want to take over my team?
Hi Cheese, I am available for management opportunities! 🙂
Sorry I'm on an unexpected giggle fit here, but your comment reminded me immediately of this parody twitter account:
https://twitter.com/alansavailable😆
Even if you have to manage Janmaat?
Especially if I have to manage Janmaat!
He doesn't like dogs.
That is why he doesn't like the Geordie ladies.
Cheers Balders.
How you feeling Diva?
A little more up to speed?Real life commitments intruding tonight Slamdog, otherwise I'd be so sharp I'd cut. From a health and safety perspective it's probably a good thing I'm busy! 🙂
No probs. Diva in hindsight, would this have been the best week for a money making WC what with the roll over price changes from Friday to Saturday?
Better than last week? Probably, yes.

Revenge is a dish best served cold
😀 🙂
Are you getting befuddled again Rukawa? 🙂
Wilson 😎
Lol@Pelle sellers 😉
Back from pub, of course Shaw gets buggered. Bellerin or Dawson (WBA)?
Bellerin better pick but Arsenal fixtures look tougher
Chelsea United Lei Everton Swansea
terribleCS CS 2 goals 1 goal CS
Dawson
Not the most exciting or important topic but any thoughts on Barry Vrs Wanyama for my 4.4mil 5th mid?
Wanyama better goal threat, less YC
sounds good enough for me cheers!
Use the comparison tool 🙂
seems a bit excessive! mainly thinking about game time/ injuries - think the player 10 years younger is the safest bet
