After assessing the Defenders and Midfielders’ form over the last four Gameweeks, our next members’ article now casts an eye over the frontmen. With Sergio Aguero owners likely to need a new replacement as a result of his hamstring injury, we delve into the data to highlight a number of in-form protagonists.
How does this WC team look?
Butland - Elliot
Bellerin - Dawson - Francis - Davies - Souare
Hazard - Sanchez - De Bruyne - Payet - Wanyama
Martial - Pelle - Vardy
Nothing wrong with it but I would choose Yaya instead of Hazard and Costa for Martial and maybe Barkley for Wanyama
And Berty for Dawson
Nice. Lacking a city defender though.
Looks great!
Martial to Lukaku considering gw11.
Maybe Toby or Dier instead of Davies and Francis isn't good option at all (no bou def actually is). My front 3 is the same so I like it a lot 😀 Good Luck!
Tried putting off looking at my team for as long as possible. Its not pretty at all.
Latest news on Jonny Evans and Kolarov?
time to buy yaya? could play in the hole with silva injured..will be the penalty taker for city etc
Could be goof, but he is still 50% chance of playing. Need to wait and see.
good*
Wait to find out if he is injured.
He will be hot property on Friday and Saturday if 100% fit
Can Danny Simpson be getting more minutes on LEI?
Would be a steal for that price and good on the bench.
Only played once.. Risky.. Any Leicester diehards on here?
He played away at Norwich in an attempt to bolster a leaky defence. De Laet is better going forward but can be a liability defensively. With Southampton away next, my guess is that Simpson could start again, but wouldn't be surprised to see De Laet back in for the following GW (Palace at home).
Butland
Williams - Bertrand - Kolarov (or Jenkinson)
Mahrez - Alexis - KdB - Payet
Costa - Vardy - Pelle
Good to go?damn, almost the same team as me 😀
Only defence is a bit different.
I am also thinking that costa will be a hitter soon. Also thinking about changing Payet to Mane.I think with Williams/Bertrand I have two season keepers there, Kolarov will be Jagielka/Coleman soon and Jenkinson/Francis can stay till January. I just feel Costa vs Villa at home after three weeks rest/training, will be superb viewing. I think Payet's golden, for now.
Isint Williams too expensive for defender and for swansea defender?
Not really, they'll be up there for CS' come end of the season imo.
Yes sir
This team good to go?
Fabianski
Dawson / Kolarov / Janmaat
Payet / Sanchez / Mahrez / KDB
Pelle / Vardy / Sturridge
Subs: Gomes / Prodl / Francis / WanyamaYes sir.
Cheers 😉
Good team.
Thanks
Looks great but as good as Janmaat is would be avoiding Newcastle with their form. Bellerin if you can afford.
Played my WC last GW. I own Krul, Reid, Kolarov, Silva and Aguero. Suppose this is why you wait til the international break to play it.
That must hurt... Taking big drop? Who to do you have as second GK?
Got Myhill as well so it's not all bad. If Aguero and Silva are out for a while I'll have to take a -4.
Ouch
Lukaku as Aguero's replacement?
The battle is between Pelle and Lukaku imo. I preffered Pelle and already had Mane from gw1 🙂 Saints schedule is amazing and they are one of top3 teams atm.
Front 8
Sanchez Mane Payet Mahrez SAKO*
AGUERO* Vardy Gomis
1.6m ITB. Used FT for Pedro to Mane early.
What to do?
A) Aguero to 1) Pelle/2) Sturridge/3) Costa
B) Sako to 1) Barkley/2) Wijnaldum/3) Any other palace mid
Thinking of B to analyse the premium forward options
Cheers.B) Wijnaldum. He's class.
Really considering him as a punt.
Had him up until last week when I played my WC. Wish I'd kept him now.
A 3.
Aguero to Lukaku. Sako to De Bruyne. get rid of Gomis as well
Aguero to Pelle
Barkley is the best bet for me for Sako, when it come to Agu i cant help you there 🙂
Cheers. Not much love for studge I guess.
Will Ayew play this GW? Easy game on paper against Stoke if he does. But without him and Kolarov possibly, I may have to field Richards and Jerome even after transferring out Kun for (-4). Did Sagna to Dawson early in the week.
Or might as well do:
Kun + Ayew to Pelle + KDB (-8) ??
Since many are taking hits anyway.
Glenn Murray anyone. Sure loves to score goals and playing for a very attacking team. Is he on pens?
yes
I like him. He did very well for Palace last season but we have many alternatives now that Kun is out and a lot of cash to spare.
Dosent have the best games coming.
Is Mitrovic the main striker at Newcastle? They are massively underperforming and I think they will turn it soon
Yep think the red card against Arsenal has calmed him down a bit as well I've gone with Perez but that's only because I didn't have enough cash for Mitro
They've been massively underperforming for 2 seasons, they're not going to turn it around any time soon
I don't necessarily think they are underperforming, they've shown for 2 years that this is seemingly their level.
I see your point but they won't lose every game and there current fixtures are as good as it gets. I only have 6.6 m
Ahh that's tough then, not many good options in that bracket. No way you can stretch to Vardy/Sakho at 6.7?
using Aguero money to get Alexis and then only pittance left for a striker. May not pan out but it is a good punt and massive differential
He is the main striker, I struggle to recommend anyone from Newcastle at the moment though.
1. Payet, Davies,
Or
2. Mahrez, Azpi,
1
I want this weeks games to start faster. Cant stand seeing the stupid 44 points I took on the page anymore
Ahaha you still got a green arrow!!! Was it the classic Tom Fenley "forgetting to activate WC" move?
Hard to know which Tom is better known for now - winning FPL or failing to activate his wildcard!
Aha he's known for 2 FPL extremes - that's pretty good going.
He's pretty chilled about it at least - very Kipling 🙂
I think it sticks in our heads more because we were on his CWC team!
Yeah maybe, that was a hell of a morning when we realised what had happened 😆
Pelle mania has really taken over this place in the last week 🙂
Hardly a surprise. Stats, form and fixtures.
True. But it is a little out of control tbh
Anyone here getting Bony over Costa,Lukaku,Vardy? Especially those who already have Pelle.
Lukaku looks best option for long term but those next two fixtures are putting me off.Same, I'm going bony for two GW's then switch to Lukaku ..
Care to explaing why you opt Bony over Costa?
Cheaper, I'm getting hazard in with the extra.. On WC
Not bad shout
but after two GW's Bony has Norwich and Villa. Will be really hard to drop him for Lukaku
also see how many mins he gets and how well city are going. If he plays two full games and bangs in four goals, obviously keeping him
If he subs on for last 15 and gets 1 point I'll be trading for Lukaku.. Just don't see lukaku scoring many over the next two so willing to take short term punt on bony
Fair enough. For me its either Bony or Costa just can't decide which one.
One of my biggest problems with Bony is that in 5 weeks (or whenever) you're going to be facing a situation where Aguero's return is imminent and you don't know whether to ship Bony or not. At least with the others they aren't going to get dropped (probably!).
Bony would be my choice but Iheanacho can't play in ucl so we might see heavy rotation in pl between those two and Sterling
Only thing thats putting me off lukaku atm is the game tonight, not sure if he will feature but still.
Bony (c) this week for me. For a hit. Time to live a little
Bony is a 59 minute player... Lukaku is much better option and cheaper... Costa is fat. Vardy is a the only englishman in the whole division that worths 😀
Bony has looked pretty poor every time for City, he needs a good run. I already have Vardy and Pelle and am torn between Lukaku or Sturridge as Aguero replacement.
Points behind rank 1: 141 😎
easy peasy!
CMON, You can do it!
We are back in casuals territory. They will captain Kompany and leave us far behind
I'm 138 behind. Much better chance of winning! 😆
Butland (Ruddy)
Azpi Kolorov (Naughton Evans Francis)
Sanchez Mata Payet Mane (c) Mahrez
Lukaku Pelle Vardy
2.0 itb, -8 hit to take bringing in Lukaku and Mane, AOA played, good to hit confirm on this after the internationals?
I've just seen who's second on the Goals Imminent table... Any one else thinking of getting him in as the Aguero replacement (already own Pelle)?
Is this a members only table? What's it based on?
It certainly is my man. Min of 10 goal attempts with no more than 1 goal over the last four gameweeks.
Can't reveal who I'm referring to, but this guy is second for goal attempts, first for shots inside the box and second for shots on target...
not this gw..
Where can I see this table then?
get a membership
Because of the fixture? I think there could be goals and they are at home
Kink?
I wouldnt touch number one with a mile long stick.
That's a fair point!
Wouldn't have any of them esp Coutinho who flatters to always deceive.
Sanchez was top of the table for weeks before his explosion
Overlaps too well with this:
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/11091/That's an interesting table, possibly justifies my urge to rid myself of a certain Chelsea midfielder.
But the guy I'm looking at doesn't appear on this table...
Nah. Far better options available.
I've been pondering it for a while now but none of the options fully grab me. I think I'm gonna take a punt on him, give him three fixtures to show what he can do
some of the stats guys are considering him here
That's good to know
Was one of my first thoughts when Aguero got injured - I'd noticed him creeping up the tables, certainly an interesting option.
Excellent! Are you still undecided then?
I am, I think I'm most likely to go for Lukaku but I'll try to do a little more digging/reading before I make my transfer. There are still a few in the mix.
Lukaku does seem like a great option, but having been burnt by him so many times before I'm reluctant to make that switch!
Just don't put the armband on him..
No thanks, seen some of his games and he's been looking really bad.
That's what I'm missing. Moved in with my girlfriend over the summer and no longer have Sky Sports/BT Sport, so I barely get the chance to properly watch and judge a player!
Good table - but I've never been a fan of the 'Goals Imminent' name.
Please tell me we're expecting a Yaya return this GW?
Good Day Ladies & Gentleman!
A. Aguero + Berahino >> Lukaku + Pelle (-4)
B. Aguero + Marial >> Lukaku + Pelle (-4)
C. Aguero + Berahino >> Pelle +Costa (-4)
D. Aguero + Marial >> Pelle +Costa (-4)
E. Aguero >> Pelle (1 FT)
Please suggest..
Thanks!E, Then Berahinho to Lukaku GW 11
cheers KID
Do (B).. Also depends on if you have Mata/ Hazard
A
If you were WCing this week, who would be the 3 defenders that you'd defo pick?
Bertrand, Williams and Jagielka/Coleman.
Jags, Berty and United def / Kompany
Jags? What about his next two games?
Doesn't matter. Just bench him.
Dawson, Cedric and Kolorov.
I have the exact combo but reserves are not good: Richards and Gomez.
Anyone watch The Blacklist, any good?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2741602/sorry, fail
Bertrand Bellerin Goalman
Cheers folks. Berty is in there already. Gonna try and get Goalman in as well. Somehow
Why Berty when you can have Cedric for much less and more of an attacking threat? See Rodallegas excellent hulk on STH players earlier in the week.
Why would you want Coleman? Done nothing all season, too expensive and better options abound.
Dawson is a no brainer.
Likewise Kolorov.
Get a grip. 😡Oh Dear 😀
Cheers Jafa! Needed some sense drilled into me. I shall have a look at Rodallegas post soon. 🙂
My reason for not getting Dawson is Myhill- a cheaper route to the Brom defence. Got the funds for one of Kolarov or Coleman. City without Kompany are cack. Hence prefer Coleman. Also, fixtures take a turn for the better from Gw11.done nothing all season? he was injured Jafa
Much less .3? Either or really
Kolarov now a rotation risk with Clichy. Goalman has been injured, he will come good once GW11 come round imo.3 is a lot when it comes down to the fine margins of bringing players in. Golden Rule of FF: Always look for the cheapest way into a defence.
Kolorov - wait till he is rotted. Until then, hang fire.
Coleman: regardless, not sure what the fascination is with him when he did bugger all last year.
bertrand/williams(already used my ft for him)/dier
Cech / McCarthy(*)
Kolarov - Cedric - Huth - O`Shea - Evans
Hazard - Mata - Couthino - Mahrez - Wanyama
Kun - Gomis - Sakho
To the WC-team:
Butland - Elliot
Bertrand - Bellerin - Francis - Souare - Davies
Sanchez - KevinDB - Mane - Payet - (4.5)
Vardy - Costa - Ighalo
Leaves me with 2.3 in the bank and a ft to save.
Worth it?I think so, team looks good. No Pelle would slightly worry me though
Don't like Davies and Costa. Maybe Toby or Dier more worth it. Costa is anti-footballer imo. There are much better options infront. Team is good at all 🙂
So Lukaku & Alderw instead of Costa & Davies? Leaves me with no Chelsea, though...
Chelsea FC lack of form so you don;t need any coverage atm 😉 Better get some Saints' or Swans' or even Palace' players instead... I only got Azpi and I'm leaning to get only deffenders from them. Still not sure is it worth it at all as there is more cheaper deffenders from better teams right now :/ Only because I get Azpi for a hit 3 weeks ago I still keep him in.. Preffer Pelle over Lukaku due to fixtures 🙂 Good Luck!
Curious what the general thinking was behind Everton players.
If on a wildcard, would you be looking to bring at least one in now (say Lukaku) or hold until GW11 as their next 2 are looking pretty tough?Lukaku - will score against anyone. If you were a member, the article above would no doubt convince you further.
this
Having used my WC,after GW 11 i'm thinking Howard and Barkley.....may i replace this week Kun with Lukaku.
Couldn't watch England's match last night,can someone tell me about Barkley,Kane & Vardy?
Not seen it either but Barkley shone apparently. Think Roy seems him as a gamechanger tbh.
Barkley was the creator of everything upfront but only for 30-40 minutes then the game was dead
Kane with goal and assist, Barkley scored long shot with a lil deflection of Lithuinia def. and after 2:0 game was boring..
Kane didint score. Only assist
Wouldn't look too much into the England games as they were hardly against strong opponents.
Anyone watch The Blacklist, any good?.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2741602/Awful
hmm...I read the concept looks good though
It does, trouble arises when you ad up episodes...
It beats watching paint dry and James Spader is always a treat but meh....
Playing my wild card. Very happy with my midfield but who are your top picks up front and at the back?
I've got quite a lot of spare money from getting rid of Aguero.Pelle Lukaku Kane
Cedric, Dawson, Kolorov, Janmaat and a WAT defender.
Upfront ideal three right now would be: Vardy, Lukaku and Pele.a WAT defender? I'm selling Prodl for -4 this week
Davies over a WAT def.
Rose will take his place.
So.
I HAVE to make at least a -4 hit. So I'd have a playing 11.
Question is.
Silva or Kun out first (will wait till Friday pressers of course)
I have no other saints/Everton/Man city coverWho's on your bench?
Take a -8 and do Aguero to Pelle and Silva to KDB would be my advice
Bit surprised that only a few here are doubling City mids?
If Aguero is out more than 4 weeks I'm looking to bring Yaya in for Mahrez after United gameEspecially those with using wildcard
They are half the team without Aguero, Silva, Yaya(if not fit)
have you read Balders hot topic? Aguero absence doesn't affect much. They still score loads of goals but missing Silva might affect more altough they have Kdb now.
But we still don't know how they look like without Aguero and Silva. That kind of situation happaned only 5 times in 160 games!
Yaya is ok but you can't rely on his hammies. He always has some muscular problems. He is useful when he is tip top fitThats why they have KDB now and even the boy who cant finish. Its a different attacking team than last years when Navas was playing in those instances, Nasri can also be a shout to start and i think it will work out just fine.
No Aguero or Silva.
No room at inn, Kuqi.
Payet, Mahrez, KGB and Sanchez is all that's needed.Would rather double up on Arsenal by getting in Walcott with Sanchez. But its 50/50 in risk, Walcott has risky gametime, and City has risky form (considering they're missing Aguero and Silva)
Still not closer to my Aguero replacemen. Ugh!
Lukaku, Pellè, Sturridge. I just don't know.Wait for Sturridge at that point imo. Pelle and Lukaku are the best options for me and I decided to get the Italian
easy Pelle
