Our delve into the Gameweek 9 data comes around tonight, as we cast an eye over City’s weekend goal heroes in our first members article of the week. Arsenal’s midfield differentials and Newcastle’s four-goal Dutchman are on our radar, whilst we also asses a couple of overlooked recruits for our five-man backlines ahead of the weekend deadline.
Vardy going to go up in price tonight do we think?
Almost certain
Close with Pelle and Payet
currently on 94.9
So, how about Ozil as an option now? 🙂
An option for who ?
Transfer to Liverpool in january
Always was a good option 😉
Ayew -> KDB or Pelle -> Bony?
KDB
Thanks. I know they'll both get points, just wondering if Bony will get more in the next few weeks
You will want to transfer Bony out again in a few weeks but not so with KDB
Does that mean you'd go for Lukaku over Bony?
No. Bony will be benched when Aguero returns. I don't trust Lukaku
+1
a to kdb
Would you swap Haz for Ozil or Sterling
Own Sanchez but no city attack, in a draft league and KDB is taken
I'm gonna keep haz, probably out of stubborness
For this GW no. According to post match reports Hazard was really good tonight
Mmmm, ok
I'd keep, he will come good
Not been paying attention for a while but listening to the scout cast has given me a 2nd wind. 2 points from listening
1) Whilst I like Jonty bring involved it was great to have Mark and Granville dominating the first few mins. Old school.
2) Had no idea bout Cedric gate. Personally would never bother emailing fpl, it's only a game, however criticising someone for doing it is much worse, especially as most of it seems to include insults
Loved the first point...
Right then decision time....
Is it too early in the week to do Gomis -- Vardy?
That display last night was appalling and don't want to miss another riseFTs?
1
Not yet
I would. Check for rises tho
its a safe enough move i reckon, as vardy doesnt have a midweek game. would have to be a training injury
Or an injury to another player
Good point. Common sense was never one of my strong points. 🙂
Do it fast, he's nearly on another rise
Butland is forever going to be at 90% to rise
Nah 91%
Bottomed and on the wrong thread
Love some thoughts
Myhill
Kolarov Williams Richards
Sanchez Payet KDB Mahrez
Pelle Vardy Lukaku
McCarthy / Darmian / Westwood / Gomez
1FT, shedloads in the bank
A) Save
B) Gomez > Bellerin to stop haemorrhaging value and downgrade Kolarov further down the line
C) Anything elseA
Yeah seeing a lot of people with similar defences saving. Bellerin is tempting however
I bought Monreal last week and still wondering why
Still a decent pick
May as well do B
Thanks - something to mull over.
Bellerin. He's fun to own.
Yep, leaning towards that.
Bellerin + removal of dead wood + not having to play Richards again versus two frees next week.
Thanks all
Anyone else think that maybe it's time to sell Payet soon?
CHE,wat,EVE,tot,WBA,mun in the next six. All good defenses. Can't see Payet being consistent vs them.
Get a 5th mid and bench Payet? Or too expensive an option?
Too expensive.
Are you not forgetting that WHU have already beat Arsenal, City and liverpool all away this season I'm keeping he could easily get pts in all them games
Those defenses were poor that time.
But the ones coming up have solidified their backline.
I have him and Ayew. Payet is a much better pick so Ayew to Barklay GW!!
i was about to bring him in for Pedro!? Seems consistent (esp with BAPS) and West Ham have scored 2nd most in the league havent they?
That's the thing. Form is there but fixtures taking a turn for the worse.
I haven't owned him yet but I can't see a space for him so he'll have to wait. I suppose it depends how much you've got tied up in him cause you'll proberly want him back soon enough.
Yep, it might well prove foolish but I am damn tempted with Payet > Eriksen/Ozil this week.
Same.
I don't mind those fixtures bar United away.
Brom,Spurs and Watford look tough to me. All likely to be very low scoring.
WBA vs LEI GW 12 score predictions... It's a funny fixture
2-0 Leicester
An irresistible force vs an immovable object, springs to mind!
West Brom wont like the pace of Leicester's front runners. They folded at Palace for the same reason !
Leicester to win - irresistible at present
0-0
Any reason not to get Ozil in? He will keep getting those assists week in and week out.
Bench one of:
A) Kolarov
B) Williams
C) Dawson
D) Bellerina perhaps, maybe even c
Williams
A or B imo
Le Big Numbres. One of my favourite articles of the week. 🙂
best by a mile in my book
Yep, great stats digest before delving into the tables properly.
Ighalo to Vardy now and save 0.1...or wait til the City and United games have passed (have Kol, KDB, Martial)?
Get Vardy in
I meant their champs league games...as in, wait til Thurs? Or do tonight and risk other injuries?
My guess is you want Vardy irrespective of what happens with them anyway.
Hmmm. i do...but with Pedro et al kicking about....surely it's better to wait??
Gonna be a high scoring Derby 😉
Really good performance from Arsenal that. With all that possession Bayern failed to break them down frequently.
Defensive and attacking coverage from Arsenal is looking a must!Need City cover. Ayew -> KDB/Yaya/Sterling for -4? Thinking KDB tomorrow night
KdB all day long.
this
With Gayle sent off, do we expect Bolasie to lead the line vs Leicester this weekend?
Maybe. But I think Pardew should give Bamford a chance.
Yep definitely. I was hoping he'd start the season with Bamford.
Tripling up Arsenal?
Done already.
Bellerin Ozil Sanchez.Ozil captain, Wakey?
Mmmm..dunno...Tough call this week. Might do though.
Beautiful stuff Wakey.
Yep. Got Cech Bellerin Sanchez
Same here 😛
Not a bad idea especially when there fixtures after the international break are v good
A. Defender, Sanchez & Walcott?
B. Defender Sanchez Ozilprefer B
Probably the best way. But who are people selling to get Ozil? So many mids are scoring well
That's a toss. I think there's a chance that Giroud starts next gw, but Walcott's not on bench very long.
Ignore their fixtures. They are red hot team. Just beat Bayern 2-0 in sublime style. Have Sanchez and Bellerin myself, but thrid would be hard to justify opportunity cost.
And i'm not an arsenal fan, just saying their in good state of mind to perform suberbly.
That Ighalo fella is really getting on my nerves now...just can't get along with a Watford forward in my team...
I can feel a captain Kane on the horizon.I love him, when your phone vibrates and you see "Watford Goal", say hello 4 points
I just don't feel the love.....It's like when you had that good looking girlfriend you never quite liked somehow...
Cause she was either really boring or a bitch?
The good looking ones are usually both
Yeah...and all your mates really liked her but you kept looking at other girls...
It's doomed.
Igloo will become essential over the winter.
Sorry
Same here Wakey, looking at one week punts before I WC & it's between replacing him or Ayew for me. Has good fixtures for a while at least.
Same boat. Dont like him in my team at all.
Hopefully gone for Vardy this weekVardy's great...He has that "it could have been me" feel to him.
This is why I sold him for Vardy (-4) before enjoying the Vardy haul v Norwich.
Myhill

Kdb Sanchez Payet Mahrez

I'd just like to thank the community for helping me getting this great rank so far and I hope I have provide also some good advise to other people 🙂
What rank?
6,718
Very nice.
Sexy.
🙂
It sucks for Arsenal fans how Bellerin will probably leave them in a few years
Monreal and him are a top full back pairing
Wow, someone's bitter
How am I bitter? I'm empathetic. Barcelona took Suarez from us.
Bit different arsenal got him from a free transfer from Barcelona and wenger gave him a massive contract at the start of this season, plus Arsenal don't need to sell their top players now unlike liverpool Tottenham etc
Realistically. Alves is aging..Barca will need a new young Spanish RB sooner or later.
What better than Hector Bellerin (already looking like a typical Barca RB) who used to be in the Barca set up.
😕
He could be a loyal player? And if Arsenal start winning the prem he'd stay for a good while
If was born in Barcelona, my dream would be to play for them. They're European giants.
Maybe he prefers Espanyol?
Dont be silly 😉
He's not Cesc 😉
Agreed. If Barca come calling he's off
From GW11 do you prefer
a> Lukaku
b> Martial
?Neither but if Martial gets brought back to a central role it would be him
Great podcast again Mark, Jonty & Granville. Cheers for the mention!
If I had a WC this week, this is how the squad would look:
Cech McCarthy
Jagielka Kolorov Moreno Bellerin Rangel
KDB Sanchez Barkley Eriksen Gosling
Pelle Lukaku Vardy
Unfortunately I'm stuck with my pooascoopa team and I don't have a WC left 🙁Triple everton? I don't even have one and wouldn't particularly plan to get one soon, There form is way to on/off
I wonder how Mourinho feels watching Cech and De Bruyne.
He'll say its the referees fault
They're "weak and naive" - both of them.
Doubt he's bothered about Cech, you can't keep a keeper that good on the bench. And Courtois is better.
KDB big blow though
Dont forget Lukaku and Mata
Yup! He is pretty hasty with his player.
who will score more this gw? thnx!
1.igloo stk
2.martial MCI
3.(-4) wijnaldum sun (trying to do this one :))Can't tell the future but I'm gonna guess 1
To me Arsenal seems like the only team starting to look really good defensively. How about double up with Arsenal in defense? Ozil is of course a good option in midfield but there are so many midfielders to choose from. Giroud and Walcott are probably out of the discussion because you never know who will start. What do you think?
they are all pretty expensive though
With Aguero out that is not a problem is it?
I think Sanchez and Bellerin are pretty much essential
Yes. I am thinking Bellerin + Monreal + Sanchez
Ive had Cech and Bellerin since GW1
Any reason I should not do Martial >Vardy tonight ?
Champions League
Europe LeagueI don't have United players apart from Martial and no Liverpool or Spurs
OK Martial
Not at all, although you may want him back after this GW.
How many other City/United players do you have? I think i'm going to have to wait till their games tomorrow. 0.1 is annoying...but injuries would be more annoying
Kdb and Kolarov
None if you're happy to take a hit for an injury. I'd do it. He's expected to be one of the highest scorers of the GW.
My tv is 103 not very good imo
Don't do it if it will make the world end. Or release all the world's super villans onto our streets at once.
Don't worry about the second. South Africa just did that.
🙂
ft or for a hit?
are you getting Vardy ahead of Wijnaldum or getting both>Ft my midfield is good enough without him
id do martial > vardy sure on ft.
whats your midfield?
