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.
Morning gents, anything better than this plan?
GW10: Mane -> Wally/Ozil
GW11: Wildcard
With my squad (i.e. Awful keepers and bench and no EVE/MUN/MCY etc) I feel like I need to WC in GW11, which means I have a transfer to use this week. I'm also going to the ARS vs EVE game so would quite like triple ARS for that.
Ruddy
Bellerin, Azpil, Huth
Sanchez, Haz, Mane, Mahrez
Costa, Pelle, Vardy
Rudd, Sinclair, Coates, Targett
Bank 0.8m, 1FT
What about Mane to Wijnaldum and then reassess after the GW10? Otherwise you're putting all eggs in one basket.
WC in gw 11 is fine imo.
That is the ultimate kneejerk
Keep Mane IMOCheers. You think he's a better option of all mids this week?
Since it's a 1 week gamble only I was think probably Mane or Pelle should go (as they are away at Anfield), but I would lose a bit of value in Pelle.I think best option is Eriksen.
That's a good idea - Spurs are unpredictable but he does look in decent form. Will take a closer look!
Many others yesterday liked him as a punt. It's Bournemouth he plays after all 😉
Considering Eriksen myself..
Though I don't rate Spurs' next six much highly and having Eriksen is patience test but his open play stats are shouting out loud and its Bournemouth next.😉
With Son and Chadli out there's also less chance of him losing minutes as well.
I expect the onus will be on Eriksen to be tucked up right behind Kane so yeah he is very tempting.
Keep Mane..
Postpone WC a week or two perhaps if possible, till the next internationals maybe.Not sure my squad can wait that long!
Mane likely comes back in on the WC so I'd only be losing him for liv away.Looking at your squad i'm not sure you need to wc. Just buy a new keeper and you will be in the right direction
(after WBA at home though)
Thing is, that'd mean more hits are needed or is have no MCY players for NOR, no EVE players for SUN, and no bench cover in case any of my 3 defenders don't start (oh and Huth looks a poor pick anyway).
I did look at a GW14 WC, but I'm not sure there is much value in waiting - I'd want most of the same players anyway.Fair enough. I guess you have to play it sometime. I probably won't be jumping in Everton but agree city are lethal
Yeah, I'm thinking triple MCY and 1-2 EVE.
If KDB had a better fixture then he'd be a shoe in, I just think LVG will set MUN up to be fairly compact (wont want to get hammered at home by their rivals) so I'm not sure there will be many goals in this one (despite history saying otherwise).
If Haz sounds like he's getting dropped again this week then KDB is certainly an option.
How about Haz to kdb?
Agree with Ozil. I would actually prefer losing Haz over Mane. Or consider Walcott if you're confident he starts
Yeah, Haz out is also tempting but surely he comes back in this week? It's not as if they were convincing without him. And WHU are pretty loose defensively at home.
I agree that Mane is a good pick and he'd likely come back in my WC next week. Ozil looks in great form and is nailed on for 90 mins, whereas Walcott has that potential to score huge and also get pulled at 60 mins. I think Ozil is the better play right now.With Haz after the recent talk by mou you will always be worried and furthermore he hasn't even performed well. I'd sell. Mane guaranteed starts and more attacking than Haz right now anyway
Yeah, Haz is definitely out on my WC. Bringing him in for a hit and giving him the armband last week was a dreadful move!
If he starts this week though (which I think he will) then I think he has a higher ceiling than Mane away at a new look LIV team. Klopp's first game at Anfield - I expect them to be at it.True. I guess I am just wary of anyone not nailed on. That's what has put me off wally even though I want him
when henderson gets back, where will he be playing in your opinion? no 10 maybe?
Tough to say. Klopp might rotate loads of players to begin with to find the right balance.
No 10? Shirley not
CM/DM
Replacing Lallana
Wow... This sums up the season.
Check out the ridiculously high quality of the “Leicester” minileague...

Hope that link works
That's nuts. Just shows what can happen if a couple of players from the same team get off to a flyer. All their supporters are suddenly fantasy geniuses.
Morning dz!
This week saw me fall a couple places in my ml
My defenders are really causing a lot of trouble, especially as I have kolorov and ward
Bring in belerin or tot defender? And for who?Kolarov is fit..
Ward > Toby
Agree
Cheers lads
Bellerin. But keep kolarov!
Bellerin is in incredible form!
Missed Vardy's price rise...
Guess I'll wait till after tomorrow's games then before I bring him inNo big deal. Still a bargain
This
What your thought about HAZARD game time this week? Thinking of dumping him for Wijnaldum if he is likely to come as substitute..
Hazard was a star man last night against Kiev..
Could have easily scored, in fact was denied by the crossbar once..
Hold IMO...What he said
Cheers Pal..
You hope, and you dream. But you never believe that something's gonna happen for you. Not like it does in the movies. And when it actually does, you want it to feel different, more visceral, more real.
V is for Visceral.
Five is coming.Whoop, whoop!
V for Vandetta ?
*Googles Vandetta* 😉
Lol..it was a movie btw
Was that the movie where they tried to subvert London from inside a van? 🙂
Is this a 'fake taxi' casting?
Would love that! 🙂
But what about your fans? They'd never look at you the same!
None would find out. I am not a fool like Lamar Odom 😉
But Lebron, you're not known for your three-point shots, how would you ago about the moneyshot?
Tis a secret...
Godspeed then
Qué?
Google is your amigo here.
El Perro es loco
Yo comprendo.
yo escribe espaniol pero no hablo Espaniol
Aha, eso les pasa a muchos.
Es una lástima
Si, señor 😉
Me pregunta a TL, es porque no postulas mas acqui?
Love you too Trigger 🙂
Which team will keep more clean sheets in the long run?
Crystal Palace
Watford
West BromwichTough one, but would guess West Brom, think Watford will have most home clean sheets though
WBA
WBA
Which 3 to start this week?
Dawson - NOR (A)
Kolarov - MUN (A)
Bellerin - EVE (H)
Richards - SWA (H)
Nyom - STK (A)134
134
134
Yeah, I might just change it to that.
Now I have Kolarov over Richards, but Richards might just deliver some points this week.That's what I think but ultimately it's your decision mate.
I know! Thanks.
Will see if and how he plays tonight.
Probably make a decision right before deadline 🙂Your welcome.
123
134
The first 3
Thanks all for replies.
Seems like the most of you have Richards over Kolarov.One does not simply bench a fit Kolarov
Yes, it could certainly backfire!
😀
234
First one to bench Dawson, but I feel I have to start him this week!
But thanks for input.
123
Hello gents! Need some input
a) Gomis -> Bony/Lukaku
b) Westwood -> Özil (play 3-5-2/benching dilemma)
c) Save
Was originally going to switch Kola, so my defence is now good. Play Kola or Richards?
Butland
Bellerin, Kolarov, Evans
Sanchez, De Bruyne, Payet, Mahrez
Pelle, Gomis, Vardy
Ruddy, Kola, Darmian, Westwood
ITB: 3.8Bench should say Richards, not Kola
Save
C and play Richards
Best 5th midfielder
These days its Mane, Payet, Eriksen...
Normally HoolahanIf your 3rd striker is under 6 mil then its true.
Mahrez? There aren't many decent cheaper options really. Plenty of good cheap forwards though
Wijnaldum
Butland
Monreal, Evans, Prodl
Sanchez, Pedro, Mata, Mahrez
Lukaku, Pelle, Ighalo
Schmeichel, Francis, Anya, Gomez
1FT, 6.2m
Thoughts on Pedro to Eriksen?Do
Pedro to KDB
my rank is poor, need a differential
If you need a differential why dont you keep Pedro
Not a fashionable reply, no doubthave kept for long enough, too many question marks, I would rather go with Eriksen who is guaranteed to play and is in fdecent form
Agreed Pedro to KDB
I like Eriksen
Glen Johnson is a poor pick, imo.
Good thing i don't have him 😀
Eriksen*
Mind not in the right place...care to elaborate? Who would u buy for Pedro?
Takes way too many shots outside the box comapred to inside the box.
1 SiB out of 10 shots is poor, imo.
Mane, Ozil or Wijnaldum could be good.
I have faith in Wiji, very nice fixtures to maintain his form. They have the confidence as a team now, and he's at the heart of it. He's always been a goalscorer, it isn't a fluke.cheers mate very interesting stat there, thanks for the thoughts
My vote's for KDB too
I'd hold onto Pedro. I think you should look to spend some of that banked money
Upgrading Ighalo or Anya would have to be a serious option
cheers will look into it, could go anya to Eriksen and then Ighalo could be benched long term
If you dont want KDB then go for it I say. Questions marks over his fitness and nailedness
whod ya bench?
stekel
Moreno Nyom Janmaat
Payet KDB Sterling Mane Sanchez
Vardy Lukaku
Pelle Darmian Oxford
Currently on Pelle due to the way i think the game will be played with mane more liklely to score on a counter or something if at all.Lukaku maybe
Lukaku imo
Oh god. Glen Johnson could be a possible scout pick this week.
He played well against Swansea tbh.
My keeper is Hart currently, is it worth it to invest in a second keeper like gomes?
I don't think so. I have Begovic and I'm not looking to get rid of McCarthy until next year WC.
Get Hennessey or Elliot instead. Cheap playing keepers
"You can make changes to your team right up until 24 Oct 14:00"
2 hr 15 mins extra tinkering..Will we know the lineups before deadline?
no.. games start @ 15:00
Lineups will be announced at 14:00 no? might be able to make last second changes perhaps
That's always the case, deadline 1 hr before Kick off. But it'd be impressive if you could make a change in the handful of seconds (if that) between lineups and te deadline
I've done it before and so have many others. Would probably only have enough time to make 1 change, eg quickly bench Mahrez if he isn't starting.
Didn't notice that.
Morning DZ
So now Kolarov is fit, should I still get rid of him with Clichy looming around?
Want to get rid of one of Kola, Francis or Huth.
Possible transfers:
Kola -> Bellerin
Francis/Huth -> Moreno
Which one should I do?
Other defenders are Dawson and Saylor, so really need to sort my defense out.stick with King Aleks!
Arsene Wenger confirmed Ramsey will miss Everton match on Saturday
Arsenal boss hinted 'exhausted' Alexis Sanchez may also be rested
'He [Aaron Ramsey] is alright but very down because he told me that his hamstring is quite a tough one. He’s out.' Wenger said on Tuesday.
'Alexis? You could see he was jaded physically. He still pushes himself to much and finished exhausted. Two games with Chile, plus travelling plus Watford and tonight. It’s too much.'Makes sense, so basically avoid Captaining him...
?
I will still captain Sanchez. Regret believing the tiredness hints last time out and think it will be more of the same
You'd also need to consider his output might be on the wane after all those games. It happened to him in the second half of last season where he just hit the wall and wasn't as free scoring as he was earlier in the season.
He started against Watford, i don't see him getting rested against Everton which is a better side
Sanchez has that South American workrate like Suarez. He'll be fine 🙂
Interesting. Puts me off putting the armband on Sanchez actually. Walcott should get a stint on the wing with Giroud up top
Same, may just get Wally in and (c)
Not a bad call
Wenger for some reason does not like playing Walcott on the wings.....Giroud will start imo
why?
Ramsey is out. Sanchez needs a rest (or be substituted in the second half at least).
not so sure about this , i think the ox is seen as the natural replacement now for ramsey on the right wing , and walcott has been moulded into a striker in wengers eyes. Im not sure if giroud starts if walcott starts ahead of ox. Theo owner btw!
Yeah fair call
Don't wish for the Hazard debacle to happen again
I have a theory that says everyone who says Sanchez will be rested is going to captain him and hope he becomes a differential captain. Including Wenger.
Guys, should I do Berahino/Bojan >> Vardy this week?
Berahino to Vardy. Tough run of fixtures for West Brom
No. Norwich and Wat at home.
yeah, thats what putting me off atm, but not owning this week can be risky?
It could be but if those options are performing well for you it could be a risk worth taking.
Anyone see the third and final Star Wars trailer last night? It's bloody majestic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYA3WNdO4Bw
Watched it 15 times last night.. i cant stop 😆
Yes!
Wijnaldum vs Redmond for 5th midfielder?
Wjnai no brainer
But Redmond looks more consistent and cheaper
Redmond doesn't have the scoring potential that Wijnaldum has.
Wijnaldum is too expensive to be a 5th mid unless you're playing 3-5-2
sakho>vardy -4 yay or nay
yes
Yes
Which of these....
A. Get Wijnaldum FT and play him (sun) as the fifth mid
B. Get Alderweireld FT and play him (bou) as the fourth defender
C. Save FT and play Ighalo (sto)
Your pick ?
Thanks.A
Who would you bench?
ozil kdb mahrez payet
pelle vardy bonynone of these...one of your defenders? or play AOA chip..
Already played. Has to be one of these. Thinking pelle
whose the other attacker
Hazard. Everyone would have said bench him but Im playing him for sure so didn't put him in the list
Looks like you need to lose a decent mid to ease your benching dilemma.. I'd say Mahrez
Mahrez
who to bench sakho or ayoze
Sakho. Mourinho has their D working again, I sense another clean sheet for Chelsea.
this
Armband on Sanchez looking risky atm. I doubt he'll be rested though.
yeah have changed mine to vardy
Ruddy-Rudd
Bellerin-Cedric-Dawson-Huth-Saylor
Sanchez-KDB-Mahrez-Ayew-Fletcher
Pelle-Martial- Sakho
5.9 ITB ,1FT
What looks to be the weak spot in my side? Sakho?Hazard looked like he was back to his best last night(played better than he has all season atleast). Went off the post, had a good shot blocked by a defender and was the only Chelsea player to trouble the keeper with a save. Tracked back throughout and still managed to get involved in every attacking move Chelsea made.. Gave me a lot of hope for the weekend atleast 🙂
Hmm.. Considering as a captain option as Sanchez maybe rested.
I think Wenger has nightmares about telling Sanchez that he's going to be rested. Unlikely.
That's good to hear. Even though I dislike Chelsea I like Hazard, also want to bring him in on my WC in a few weeks 😀
As a Hazard owner and Chelsea supporter who couldn't watch the match, this fills me with joy! (Although we should have defeated Kiev)
Morning dzzz, how we doing? had to take a week after a WC week and a horrid score 🙁
now who to bench from this lot?
begovic
moreno davies janmaat --- cedric souare
sanchez kdb yaya mahrez --- mane
martial pelle vardy
- currently benching mane but can also bench yaya (pens?)/kdb/pelleI'd probably bench Yaya. He doesn't seem quite right at the minute. Southampton have turned up in the big games this season
I would bench Martial
tough decision
yaya --- on pens but i dont want dbl mci as i am a utd supporter..bad logic?
mane/pelle --- dbl saints attack vs pool away but both hve equal chance of scoringWell its obvs bad logic but it depends on how ruthless you want to be in the game and how much you care about getting points!IF the game is your first priority bench martiall likely to play on the wing and kompany will be back.If supporting man u means more to you thats fine nothing wrong with that, then id prob bench pelle personally.
What would you do here lads?
Fabianski
Bassong, Dawson, Azpi (Francis, Cedric)
Mane, Payet, Mahrez, KDB (Fletcher)
Pelle Vardy Ighalo
1FT loads ITB
Initial thoughts were Fletcher -> Sanchez and bench Ighalo this week. Then use AOA next week. But with the news about Sanchez should I hold off and save? Or maybe do Francis -> Bellerin?
Plan to WC GW13
We've heard this before from Wenger then he ends up starting. I'd be inclined to bring him in
Cheers 🙂
