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.
kdb payet sanchez mahrez pedro
pedro to ?
1) ozil
2) mane
3) cabaye
4) wijnaldum
1 or 4
2
look at Southampton's next 3 fixtures after this week
2 if you don't have Pelle.
Maybe 3 or 4.have pelle
3 for the longer term, 4 for shorter term (facing average defensive teams for the next few other than Stoke)
I'd give 4 a whirl, all good options though tbh
1 or 2
cheers for the replies
No FT. Drop Hazard for a 4 point hit?
Butland
Zouma - Toby - Hangeland
Sanchez - Hazard - Payet - Mahrez - KDB
Pelle - Vardy
Martial / Nyom / Targett / McCarthy
Hazard to :
A) Ozil
B) Eriksen
C) Mata
D) Wijnaldum
E) Willianno, not for a hit
I'm worried Hazard will drop again though
i'd be more worried that he delivers double digits after selling him for a hit. Transfer value is not that important
How many times are you going to post? 😮
I can't decide lol
I saw a new option E. I would fancy E for a nice punt! Free kicks... 😮
or Sterling even? lol
Sterling after the derby will be better. No point for a hit for him right now.
No
My lineup at the moment.
De Gea
Cathcart | Davies | Evans
Mata | Sanchez (C) | Mahrez | De Bruyne
Ighalo | Costa (VC) | Vardy
Bench : Mc Carthy | Mane | Kelly | Sagna
Good to go? Or should I start Mane instead of Ighalo?Starting Mane might be better since you don't have Pelle.
Mane away vs Liverpool though. IMO Ighalo away vs Stoke is a better shout. Dont you reckon?
I'd start Mane over Ighalo. Stoke kept out Swansea last gw
Didnt watch that match. Stokes defend looks solid?
I didn't see it either, but also consider that Watford have the worst attack (statistically) in the league.
True. Just realised that. Only 6 goals scored so far.
Start Ighalo. Why Sanchez over Vardy (c)?
No particular reason. Palace has won 3 out of 4 away games though.
Plus, Sanchez looks like the safer bet than Vardy (even if he is BPL top scorer atm).
Not sure if he is safe, Wenger is now talking about him being exhausted and it is "too much". I would say he is in danger of being rested this weekend.
Ben Davies?
defence is
myhill
Bellarin Dawson Alderwield Nyom Francis
Francis to Bertrand or Moreno?Bertie
Bertrand, but pretty low priority really with that defence
west broms fixtures turn bad after this week so will need to rotate with dawson probably.
thanks guys think bertrand is a solid pick for the rest of the season?
Myhill stands out better than Dawson thanks to... save save save save save!
haha i know i was thinking of swapping him to butland soon but those save points are too yummy. I can't really see him being dropped too soon either when ever forster is ready because he has been way too solid.
Anybody considering Liverpool attackers? Firmino or Sturridge?
Difficult fixtures. Im going to wait 1 or 2 weeks to see who will shine under Klopp first before bringing any Liverpool offensive player in.
I just can't see myself ever buying Studge because he an injury waiting to happen.
Firmino-not seen enough of him yet. Monitor for now.
I have Sturridge but it was a drunken knee jerk when Klopp was appointed manager...
If he plays well this weekend I'll keep, if not will probably ship next week.Thanks guys.
Morning all, hope your all good. I kneejerked Bellerin in for Francis last night 😉
Good option but will probably get rested for Everton game 😉
Would sum up my season beautifully 😆
I hope so, I'm benching him for Richards as it stands. True story.
😯
That might happen, but i would hate that.
Why would he be rested?
I knee jerked Bellerin in for Lescott two days ago before the price rise...
I'm probably going to knee jerk in Moreno or Van Dijk before the week's done... what a waste, but I still have my TV for my December wildcard to consider... sighgood transfer, i wanted to do it early but champs league and the last int. break made me wait. Moreno could be great value at 4.9 not sure on Van Dijk just yet, he looked extremely slow for my liking
I would pick VvD just for the CS and the odd goal. I believe he will have a total of 5 goals this season if he stays injury free. Maybe one assist.
Moreno is 4.7
take something for that hangover 😉*logs off in shame*
VD over Berty?
absolutely
Bit worried about the rot at ARS.
Bellerin is on a very hot form to keep Debuchy out, so no worries.
Young lad, loads of games = rot 🙁
Wenger is unlikely to do rotation very easily unlike the Tinkerman.
Big question over Belle start vs Eve, but thats how life goes. They need him for Bayern. Also, now ARS have almost everything in their hands. If they win both games vs Zagreb and Olympiacos they will be through. (unless Bayern loses which would jeopardize them going through)
Arsenal aren't playing Bayern next week.
🙁
Good Morning lads.
................................ Begovic - McCarthy ................................
......... Kolorov - Cresswell - Dawson - Francis - Prodl .........
......... Sanchez - Payet - Ayew - Mahrez - De Bruyne .........
............................... Pelle - Gomis - Bojan ..............................
Ayew or Gomis to go this week.
Time to bring in Vardy? Or Lukaku?
Any other suggestions? Comments appreciated, thank you!Gomis to Vardy looks good move this week and maybe bench Payet
You need the V first!
Ayew for Villa as the last chance and also meaningless for a hit to take him out.Vardy needs to be in asap. Lukkaku and Bony are probably the standouts of the rest. Boot Bojan and Gomis.
You need Vardinho, like the Bojan pick
I picked Bojan over Vardy as my Wilson replacement. Seems stupid now, especially since I benched him at the weekend! haha.
Thanks lads. Never realised he was rising last night. Suppose I can wait a day or two now.
For those that haven't seen last nights stats.
Hazards Response to being dropped...
"Hazard didn't make a single tackle in the 90 minutes. He only made one clearance and regained possession on one occasion."
I can see Oscar coming in for Pedro tbh..
That's a quote... from who?
Got off my phone from skysports app. Article, "Hazards Response", 2nd last paragraph
For an away fixture where you're not going to have it all your own way, that is horrendous stats
He did show attacking improvement though, but thats not gonna help his cause.
Did you actually see the match ?!
He was tracking back like hell.....he was the best player on the pitch .....Jose had a problem with the space he was leaving behind and he rectified that
think he will start on the weekend eden? do you still have him? ive kept him from the start and really hoping that turn around happens soon.
I think he will start....Pedro might even be injured
Didn't see, but when you're told you need to defend more and you don't make a single tackle in 90 mins, that's game over
Defending is not all about tackling , it is also about positioning and pressing your opponents
Fair play, doesn't effect me as don't have him. Just thought I'd give a heads up, but ye didn't watch myself.
this... and person dissing on Hazard should sort this thread by stickies and read the sticky by AV-B
This^
Dont need to tackle anyone to defend. Its space coverage.
Butland
Kolarov Francis Whittaker
Sanchez(c) KDB Payet Mahrez Tadic
Pelle Vardy
Schmeichel Cedric Naughton Watmore (lol)
Anything worth a -4?Save!
Cheers
I should play Kolarov over Richards right? Despite Swans bering so poor atm.
Quite close but yes I would start Kolarov
Villa is really bad. Play Kolarov if you can or else you might not get a chance when Clichy is ready.
I'm not so sure..
absolutely
Thanks 🙂
Yeah I am
Yep. Kol is a genuine OPP with real chances of attacking points.
Walcott or Ozil? Fancy a punt for a few weeks.
Walcott
Why walcott tho? I have him and i would rather get ozil
not this. he was awful last night, can see Giroud starting
Everybody is talking about that save. They should be talking about Theo missing an open goal.
Wizard of Öz
Ozil is nailed and showing form, Walcott constantly has the Giroud rotation headache over him
Seems when ozil hits his purple patch he's fantasy gold, but it rarely lasts long. Could be a decent differential for the next couple of weeks.
The Big Nos suggest Ozil but I take it you have Alexis?
If you have Payet, Mahrez, KGB and Alexis, then Ozil is surplus to requirements.This is exactly what I have, just hate seeing so much coin in the bank. Mahrez mins are a concern so fancied benching hin for the time being and playing one of ozil/wally instead.
Head say ozil, heart says wally.Would never bench Mahrez. You risk losing some serious points with what Mahrez has to offer.
Hear what your saying, that said he's only scored 6pts in the last 3 so whilst another is in hot form and Mahrez has gone off the boil I'm hoping that it may be an opportunity to make some gains in overall rank.
Definitely Ozil.
Walcott has great movement and his stats are good. But he's just not a center forward IMO and will keep getting subbed for Giroud. Plus Ozil has better stats.
Özil
Pedro > Ozil? (already have Sanchez)
Currently haven't any Man City midfield thoughTake KDB first.
+1 and double up with Sterling next week
this, think he will be world class personally
How about if everyone in my mini-league has him?
Too risky to go without him or should I take Sterling as a differential
No. You need the KGB in first.
Butland
Monreal-Toby-Dawson
Sanchez-Payet-Mahrez-KDB
Costa-Pelle-Vardy
McCarthy-Richards-Morgan-Wanyama
Any suggestions? 1.8ITB !FTG2G!
Costa->Luk/Bony. Then have the cash for a fifth mid like Mane or Wal.
Save
Good morning all
whant to off load Hazard for:
1. Payet
2. Wijnaldum
3. Ericssen
other mids ... Sanches-KDB- Cabaye-Mahrez
Pls your thought abt this1
Payet. Essential.
Thank you
1
Payet
Reply fail to Andrey
Missed the Staylor drop! But will still do Staylor to Bellerin unless you have any objections:
Kolarov Bellerin Cameron (Darmian Nyom)
Decent backline? Anything you'd suggest otherwise?Think I'm going for Monreal but both great options
Yeah, I agree at 5.7 too. Something about Bellerin though. I had him at the start of the season and I'm gutted to to have missed his points.
Haha! Do you really have to ask people on here whether Staylor to Bellerin is a good move?
hart mane fernandez dann..... is this the time to play bench boost... or is it a game of patience for double gameweeks?
Their fixtures are not remotely close to great. I wouldnt personally
The argument for using it in dgw is you get to buy cheap dgw players and still play your big hitting sgws.
The counter argument to that is triple captain could be even betterpatience
OK...fingers twitching having to learn willpower that i didnt have last year when the wheels fell off in my first year
Butland
Kolarov / Azpi / Merts
Mahrez / Payet / Sterling / Ozil
Vardy (c) / Sakho / Pelle
Mignolet / Naughton / Nyom / Bentaleb
Free transfer saved, 7.0m ITB.
G2G?
Thanks for your input!Good to save
Thanks mate
Play Darmian (MCI) or Huth (CRY)?
I've got Mahrez and Vardy, no other United cover.
Darmian all day.
I have the same dilemma, tempted by Huth, but hes terrible. City always score..
Darmian.
Cheers gents, Darmian it is
Sanchez looks like in danger of being rested this weekend.
Take note would be captainers.
http://www.football365.com/news/wenger-praises-cech-admits-sanchez-is-knackeredHe won't be rested.
He won't be rested. such rubbish.
The great thing with Lexy is that he'll come on for 10 mins and still score 2 goals.
To be quite honest im scared for both Sanchez and Bellerin . Both might not start.
Arsenal don't play Bayern next week mate. They have league cup. They can rest them then.
Oh damn, for some reason i thought they did. My fault!
Thanks!
No problem! 😉
They have C1C next midweek - they'll be rested for that.
Thats a fair point. Not sure why i believed CL game was the next week. Made no sense, but i still thought. (you would think watching football for god knows how many years would give me the proper information 🙂 )
sanchez wont want to be rested, hes in to good form to be rested, he will be rested when he needs it, not for sake of it,wenger has said this many times before
LOL. Really? After a Tuesday game with no travelling involved?
Wenger says this about him all the time but keeps on playing him
Just putting the info out there. He put in some effort last night in fairness to him, I wouldn't be surprised.
Going for Vardy captain myself, keeping away from him just in case. He is so bloody explosive though, hope don't regret it.you don't rest your best player when he's just found form IMO
3 days to prepare for Everton, which is a must win game. Wenger will definitely play his best XI.
Suffered 3 drops this week: Kolarov, Diouf and Saylor. 🙁
Saylor one's very frustrating.
Gutted.
Morning all. Is this team now G2G?
Butland
Dawson Azpi Toby A.
Mahrez KDB Sanchez (c) Payet
Vardy (vc) Lukaku Pelle
Subs: McCarthy, Cedric, Westwood, Targett
(No FT // 5.6 itb)Yep, tidy.
Actually, Westwood before Cedric.
Current team:
McCarthy
Skrtel - Kolarov - Cresswell
Sanchez - Mahrez - Mata - Sterling - Ozil
Martial - Vardy
Who should be captain?!Sanchez or Vardy.
I am an LCFC fan, but I just worry about Vardy! He can't keep scoring every week...
I had Sanchez as C last week, was thinking Ozil this week, just for variety!
I need a Hazard replacement. Money no object.
Sanchez
Sanchez > KDB > Payet
Read the stickies
Sanchez.
1 more match
Apologies. Already have Sanchez.
See my team.
Martial to Vardy?
Others are Ighalo and Pelle.Ighalo to Vardy
Martial fixtures turn after this weekNo moolah! 🙁
I'd definitely get Vardy in.
Hello guys. Any transfers needed or good to go?
Butland
Kolarov Darmian Bellerin
San©hez KdB Payet Mahrez
Pelle (V)ardy Ighalo
Mcarthy Richards, Ward, Surman
could wenger play both Walcott and bellerin on the same wing? surely illegal to use all that pace on one side of the pitch.
Mister Huth, please do not drop in price before the weekend.
+1
I don't know if this is trying to be too clever... But next week I plan on doing Westwood > Silva (if fit) and playing AoA so that I invest the Aguero money and can bench Dawson against Leicester without having to take a hit.
Thoughts?igahlo out for ?
bony? got vardy an pelle, or keep an upgrade drinkwater{5th mid} to ozil, bench igahlo ?
cheers guys
