Paul In our new series of “Monitor” Members articles, we turn our attentions to Matthew Etherington. The Stoke winger has been a mid-price Fantasy favourite for the past two seasons now but so far he’s yet to make any sort of impact, with just one assist to his name after six appearances.
Analysing both the OPTA and our own ICT stats, we dig deep in an attempt to ascertain just how and why he’s failed to produce the Fantasy returns so typical of those last couple of campaigns…
Is it worth playing Moses (home to Bolton)?
He impressed in pre-season but has done absolutely naff all in the first 7 games.
Bolyon 5/4 draw no bet they will surely beat a woeful wigan side worth getting involved ?
Bolton *
Lads what transfer to do and why?
- Rooney to RVP and keep Dzeko this week? Bring probably Sturridge next week.
- Dzeko to RVP and have ultimate strike force Rooney, RVP, Suarez and really unbalanced team.
- Ignore and leave the strike force as it is and improve the defense bring Schawcross for Briggs as a long term solution which means I won’t have to double on New against Tot
Thanks in advance and cheers,
P.S. Already have Walcott and Ramsey in mid and I could captain Silva this GW why not.
Keep Dzeko for this week at least, you have plenty of Arsenal if they do explode. I'd be tempted by ShawX or Woodgate if you wanted to save the pennies.
who will i start vorm or ruddy consider i am starting siclair aswell
Swansea will win 2-0. Vorm CS, Sinclair PEN.
Who to bench this weekend. I'm having real trouble
Rangel, Bos, S.Taylor, Enrique, Kompany
Nani, Bale, Moses, M.Petrov, Barton
Rooney, Saurez, Zamora
Tahnks for any help!
S.Taylor, Enrique and Moses.
Feel like I've got to give Moses one more go, especially against Bolton, but think you are right with the defence. Cheers
Well, it's either Barton or Moses for the chop. I'd have more confidence in Barton doing something.
Enrique
Rooney to RVP worth doing no hits
Yup, unless you have Rambo/Theo/Arteta
Rooney = 64 points so far and can score freely against anyone.
RvP = 31 points so far and in a team struggling to create chances.
My mind is made up.
Id keep Rooney
I thinks Rooney to RVP is worth as a free transfer
Anyone watching Victory Shield? The young sub for England, no 17, plays for Villa but missed his name looks a diamond!
Any chance of Aguero dropping tonight lads?
Hi.
Would love if anyone bothered to comment on my WC team.
Krul Vorm
Kompany Enrique Bosingwa Boyata Simpson
Mata Silva Ramsey Bannan Dyer
Rooney Suarez Adebayor
0.9 in the bank.
I like it except Boyata (>Woodgate?) and Mata (>Nani?). Not sure about Banan but not much better at that price I guess
Ade to Sturridge, Simpson to S Taylor.
I'd suggest Mata to Nani and N.Taylor instead of Boyata.
Adebayor looks like a big doubt too, so I'd maybe go for Sturridge and upgrade Bannan.
Keep Boyata. Bolton have great fixtures and he has Vorm..
Demi, is Boyata a likely starter? He didnt play the first couple of games, was he injured? Could be a good swop for Brown. cheers
He was at Man City in the beginning of the season Catmac. Has featured in all but one of the games since he went to Bolton. For the short to medium term i think he'd be a good replacement for Brown, as Sunderland don't have the best of fixtures. Boyata does seem to have a goal threat too
If what I'm reading about Adebayor and Aguero is true then I'm gonna need a double transfer this week. Who to get in? I already have Rooney.
What do people reckon to Boyata for a decent 4.0 defender?
Worth a go with Bolton's fixtures?
"doubtful" 🙂
He has a teared hamstring which is not naive. I think no
erm.. doubtful?
Dont think so. Harry has Defoe and VDV so he wont risk Ade.
Everybody is on Sturridge, that many scouts all cant be wrong.
Suarez and ageuro - sturridge and RVP worth 4 point hit?
have no arsenal and have silva and mata
what do people think of taking a risk and picking Defoe? only 1.4% of people have him, and if Abeyboyer is out this week might be worth the punt?
Posted earlier but....
Wildcard team:
Vorm, Given
Bosingwa, Jones, S Taylor, Enrique, Tierney
Silva, Nani, Ramsey, Sinclair, Bannan
Sturridge, RVP, Suarez
(.2 in the bank)
Any good?
Thinking of doing:
Sinclair and Tierney out.
Moses and Shawcross in.
Bringing Moses? Really? If u must to have Wigan player then go for Watson
have suarez and adebeyor
But thinking of changing to sturridge and van persue as I'm wildcarding
it will leave me .3 short so I'll have to downgrade jones to a 5.6 defender?
Should I do it? Can't decide?
Wan to capt rvp if I have him
That depends, who would you have as 1st sub?
First sub Brown (Arsenal) and Simpson (Tottenham)... I might have to
Hmm, well Sturridge will probably have to score 6+ to make it worth it. Your gamble.
...and if you'd prefer Adebayor for the long-term that really is a bad transfer.
I might just wait, your right. I want to bring in Suarez GW9 tho, and having Roon Aguero and Ade, I feel id have to let go of him anyways
Who is on your bench?
Bit of a quandary - have a frontline of Rooney, Aguero and Adebayor, 2 of whom are looking iffy at best at the moment.
Worth taking a 4 point hit to do Aguero > RVP for the next few gameweeks? Could be hobbling myself with only 1 striker this week...
wait to see aguero's fitness for this week before making any decision
It's possible we won't find out until after the team deadline closes. Saying it's 5 minutes before the deadline, is it worth it?
Even if Aguero manages to come. He prob wont come out flying like he has this season. Injury should take its toll, and next game Utd should defend well against him so Aguero>RVP is not so unreasonable.
Dyer, Moses or Pilkington?
Need a 5.0 or less midfielder.
dyer (not if you have sinclair)
Also...
Phil Jones or Jose Bosingwa for my wildcard squad?
Can I afford to bench AJ (Fulham) two gameweeks in succession?
Fulham away at Stoke won't be firing in 6 goals.
It's between AJ and Moses in midfield. ..
Fulham away from home are rubbish. Especially when its at Stoke. Great at home though.
AJ.
Well, AJ must surely start. He got a hat trick last time out...when I left him on the bench.
But Moses is also nailed on.
play moses
It's either Boyata or Tierney for me....! But as long as FFS has steinsson as right back in their team news section, it has to be Tierney....
both of them are rubbish choices.
Even if you have three big-hitters up front, and need a cheap 5.defender to use the cash on your midfield?! Or could you name a better defender at 4.0?! Already have Vorm, so don't need more Swansea...
...or does somebody know something the scouts don't?!
Hmm, two players who are yet to register a cleansheet. I suppose it has to be Tierney as they're at home but I would seriously consider getting rid of both.
that wba lad all the way
McAuley? I know he has played to matches, but do you think he will stay in the team?
Sounds promising for his fpl prospects:
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11661_7231524,00.html
+1
*two
McAuley looks good for this weekend but I wouldn't play him in the following 3.
He also scored an own goal against Italy t'other day. 😉
Lampard (C). Rolling back the years...
A certain starter, I reckon.
He is a starter but costly. Hey, maybe Gerrard might be the next old boy to get some FF attention.
Many a true word spoken in jest.
Gerrard goal + assist + 3 BPs against Man U?
Wouldn't be surprised. Gerrard has a great chance to get in that England team for 2012. One of the best midfield players ever in PL.
Lamps should be top midfield scorer depending on VDV fitness.
I just worried about their prices, especially with guys like RVP, Rooney and Aguero eating up funds.
Can manage a front 8 of
Lamps Nani Gerrard Silva Dyer
Suarez Sturridge Best
Not actually that bad.
Probbly should bookmark this.
Who to drop? Simpson, Woodgate or Enrique? All 3 have home games....
Between Simp and Enrique. Spurs will surely score and so will Utd so I havnt a clue. Keep Woodgate for nice CS.
Bah Damn you Adebayor. Now debating what to do with my strikeforce can just do Ade to Suarez as a freebie however I'd ideally like to have
RVP Suarez Adebayor
but I could more easily get
RVP Sturridge Suarez
Always cautious when hammys flare up, often recurrent. Perhaps I should just accept that I've got good points and a good price rise from Ade and get out now.
Considering ade is a doubt should I:
a) keep him, do jarvis -> ramsey and have moses as my first sub in case ade doesn't play
b) sell ade and jarvis -> sturridge and bale
c) sell ade and jarvis -> sturridge and ramsey, allowing me to do moses -> sinclair or wes brown -> 6.7 def next week
Entire team:
Vorm Given
Kompany Enrique Woodgate ( simpson brown)
Jarvis Nani Silva Petrov (Moses)
Adebayor Rooney Suarez
My forward line going into this game week will most probably be:
RVP, Rooney & Sturridge
What about everyone else?
If I do Aguero and Ade>Sturridge and RVP then yes the same. Just waiting for Friday news.
RVP, Rooney & Suarez.
Not ideal having two strikers in the same early kick-off, but I expect both teams to score and neither player are shy in that respect.
Rooney, Suarez and hopefully Aguero.
Just going to mention something similar, Demi 😉
I'm wondering how many with the Adebayor/Roonpig/Aguero combo are changing up to Sturridge and RVP?
If Aguero and Adebayor are both out, this is my preferred option. Just been reading that Adebayor won't be risked if the hamstring tear might deteriate. Reading between the lines, I think he is unlikely to be risked.
Aguero - we're all still in the dark about this one. I've got a late Saturday night at the rugby so probably won't be able to change my team.
I don't think RVP and Sturridge are a bad choice - both likely to score big and near the top of the Watchlist.
Agree Jafs. It really looks bleak for both Aguero's and Adebayor's chances of starting this week. Strikers are too precious, as they bring in the most points so i cant afford to not to sell 1 or 2 of them this week, regardless of how much money is locked in them. Also with Strikers i don't ever think long term. I play the next 1/2 fixtures so RVP will quickly become Suarez in gw 9 and then i will look to gradually bring Aguero back in for Sturridge after Chelsea play QPR
Question marks with Sturridge:
He's averaging 8.5ppg - will the new wide position affect his output?
Will Torres returning affect anything?
Starting time - how much is he likely to be given - he doesn't appear to be a 90 minute man?
On saying all that though, he obviously has the potential to rack up the points, despite limited gametime. 😕
Adebayor definitely out this GW?
