In our first members article of the week, we assess the displays of West Ham, Leicester and Villa’s forwards as the search for a Callum Wilson replacement intensifies. We cast an eye over Southampton, Spurs, West Ham and Arsenal’s midfields and also analyse the impact of Brendan Rodgers’ decision to switch to a 3-4-1-2 formation in the last two Gameweeks.
Who to bench ?
a)Browning (Liv H)
b)Williams (Spurs H)
c)Prodl (Bou A)
d)Richards (Sto H)
a
not sure, but definitely not c
I'll play him, as I don't have the other options, Richards.
A
a
A
A there will be goals in the derby
Shaquiri went down overnight and has lost me 0.1 even though no sites had him reducing in price; it was just a random one. Was going to Tadic anyway it's just annoying!!
Toys are officially out of the pram this morning
KDB went up despite being 90 odd on FPLstats. Just have to suck it up
He was no where near the bottom of the list, was on about -80 when I checked FPLstats. Just frustrating
I need a cheap keeper to rotate with De Gea's bad fixtures, any ideas?
Gomes....but i don't know if they rotate.
has to be myhill for the short term
if im not planning on playing De Gea for 3 weeks, maybe i shouldnt get him in yet?
Don't get him yet. He may get dropped.
De Gea dropped?
he means myhill, theres a possibility, but unlikely i reckon
Na Myhill
Myhill. If Pulis was looking for a reason to drop him, he's been given it.
I wouldn't rotate de Gea, they can keep a cleanie in any fixture.
so do I go for Him and a cheapy (hennessey) or Myhil and someone?
Myhill imo(no rotation).
just straight Myhill, and leave hennessey on the bench until myhill gets injured?
Up to you mate. Fwiw i have Myhill and Lindegaard just in case Myhill gets dropped/injured.
Myhill for me
Is Myhill nailed on though? Not impossible Pulis will wield the axe after losing from 2 up
I think he'll be given another chance though it is possible that Lindegaard will take his place.
he has been solid this season, dont see him being dropped after one bad game
what to do with Pedro?
A. keep him and play him (SOT)
B. play Hoolahan (LEI) instead of him
C. transfer him out for -4, to Payet most likely
D. play AOA with both Pedro (SOT) and Hoolahan (LEI) - means benching Richards (STK)
??
Keep and play
get payet
A, though I'd want him out eventually.
C but A and B are also good options
Very much 'imminent backfire on the cards' situation there.
Not C, but everything else is coin toss imo.A or B
If Hoolahan starts he is guaranteed to get u points this weekend. I'd do D.
Think I've finally settled on my team.
AOA Chip
Myhill (Hennessey)
2 of Gabriel/Evans/Nyom/Davies/Souare
Sanchez De Bruyne Walcott Payet Mahrez
Aguero Vardy Gestede
If Foster comes back into the WBA team I can easily get him, Alexis and Walcott look like a great combination.
Depending on price changes I might be able to do De Bruyne/Gestede > Sterling/Gomis and Gomis has 2 weeks of MNF.
Thoughts?AOA with walcott? i wouldnt, he is not even guaranteed to start
He played last night, Can see Giroud starting
He's been top class in the last two games and he'll definitely start over Giroud against Man United. Aside from the chip would you change anything?
Are you on a wildcard? You can't play AOA same week.
De Bryne is a no go for me now... 10.2 and only played a few games thats a lot of money.
Who to ship out Pedro for? Mata ?Lol and there's me contemplating Mata to KDB
mane or tadic, mata only if after the next 3
If you have Mata and a balanced team u should just keep him
Any confirmed news on Yaya yet?
Yeah it's not his birthday
We'll know more tonight
Trained yday and will probably play tonight. Notihng to worry about from an FPL POV unless of course he picks up an injury this evening
Should I use the FT to short my defense?
Koscielny*, Alderweireld, Williams, Prodl, Targett*
I have 1FT and 0.2£ onlytargett can be your bench player, not like you need 5 rotating def anyway
kosc i would wait til pressies before the weekendThanks NM. Quite happy with those "untouched" back five. Just hoping no more injury. Slightly worry with Alderweireld on Europa
Koscielny did his hamstring so I guess he'll be out for 3 weeks.
Thanks Captain Arteta! Got to check the price movement then. Probably a sideways movement to Bellerin
Wenger on Koscielny…
It is a hamstring. This is why I rotate as we play many games. The other teams do it as well. You look at the other teams in Europe’s benches and you will see them rotate. You cannot play every three days without rotating your players That is a fact and you have to accept that.
The bit on rotation is interesting. Walcott prime for rotation in a game against an organized defence where Giroud's physicality could be more useful?
I would guess at a Giroud start vs Man U
interesting, not his usual style to rotate players. but understandable given that he has so many mids to choose from and with his preferred 4-5-1 formation he can only play one of giroud and walcott
He's trying to justify picking Ospina. Theo will play
Plus Gary Neville said the way man u play is tailor made for Walcott, plus there's 5 days in between
Benching trouble.
Gomes(bou) / Fabianski (TOT)
Prodl(bou) / Francis(WAT) / Dawson(cry) / Clyne(eve) / Kolarov(NEW)
Sanchez(MUN) / Mahrez(nor) / Payet(sun) / Hoolahan(LEI) / YYT(NEW)
Aguero(NEW) / Sakho(sun) / Vardy(nor)
Currently i've got Fabianski, Clyne, Hoolahan and Francis benched. Any change?
I would play Francis and bench Prodl. Good front 8 for this week! Hoolahan first sub!
JK advised me that some people on here have advocated the captaining of Mané, owing to Ivanovic's lack of form. Nice theory but poorly conceived. Tadic for the most part has reverted to LM/LW this season, much to every saints fan's delight as he looks much more comfortable. Occasionally, JRod has played out there instead. Of course there is a fair bit of fluidity in the front three and Mané will occasionally float left but tends to cross from the right and otherwise spends most of the time behind Pelle (or even level with him).
So Mané vs Ivanovic is unlikely.
Have a +1, very usefull info.
The way Chelsea are playing Mane a good shout regardless. And it's on tv 🙂
I didn't dispute that. I was just clarifying the tactical set up.
Yeah I know I upvoted
captaining Mane away to Chelsea at anytime is a very low percentage play. An outrageous punt if you will
Plus there are a wealth of attractive options elsewhere this week.
I may have 3 of your players, after wild card. 🙂
I want at least one. But had too many injuries to address that. Who are you thinking of?
I have Pellè - captain this last week, and want to add Tadic and Fonte.
Yes, I want Tadic too. Good work on Pelle!
Transferred Agüero to Pellè(c) ... 😉
Plus Mane (+Soton in general) are really not good for points potential away from home
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/09/29/the-digest-gameweek-7-4/?hc_page=5#hc_comment_11404082Indeed, we are undoubtedly a team that likes to play at home.
Who would you choose...
A) Francis (top 2 Most attacking def in the league) @ home to watford (lowest goals scored)
B) Nyom away to Bournemouth (have no Wilson)
A
I have the same dilemma, I went with Francis - both teams will be trying to win this fixture, so I expect goals on both sides.
Nooo
post of new?!
Is there a Chance Sakho that Sakho has to move out wide or will be dropped? Will Carroll play second fiddle to him mich longer or will the change their formation and Payet moves out wide with Moses dropped? But surely the 442 days are gone?
I wanna get Sakho but it seems so much more reasonable to go for Vardy
Which 3 to start?
Dawson (CRY A)
Richards (STO H)
Kolarov (NEW H)
Reid (SUN A)
Huth (NOR A)
Kolarov, Reid, Dawson with Richards first sub.
What are your thoughts on formation this year?
Should I duck the striker lull and go 3-5-2?
If I did this it would be Aguero and Vardy, with probably Ighalo on the bench, and KDB in mid
or stick with the standard 3-4-3?
this would include Pelle up front and Westwood on the bench in mid
Should I
A) Save transfer and bench Gomis
B) Do Gomis -> Vardy and then bench
1) Sako
2) Ighalo
Anyone fancy Deulofeu? Got 2 assist last gw..created a lot of chances too. Surely will get another 90 mins in upcoming weeks
Hi guys,
Looking for a Defender between 4.5 - 5.0 to start for me going forward. i got Kolarov and Evans currently
a) Alderweidereld
b) Martin
c) Dann
d )Nyom
e) Francis
f) Williams
g) Cedric
h) Davies
i) Janmaat
I'm so tempting to get Walcott because of his crazy stat. What are the chances of him starting this weekend?
*tempted
My Team for this gameweek
Myhill
Evans Kolarov Alderweidereld
Payet Sanchez KDB Mahrez
Aguero(c) Vardy Martial
Thoughts guys?
Very nice
Great thanks for your input
not a strong bench though:
Hennessy James Morrison Hangeland Browning
