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…
Not sure what to do with this team:
Hart Vorm
Assou Berra Bos Colocinni Sawcross
Nani Silva Murphy Tchyoi Dyer
Suarez Sturridge Hernandez
Was goona do Ramsey and Ade in for Tchyoi and Hernandez but Ade being possibly ionjured makes that not look so great now.
I know having no Rooney or Augerro isn't the greatest but for now it might be ok and results for the last 2 weeks have been pretty good.
Need to ship Tchyoi so bad though..
Shame you can't make the Adebayor transfer, I'd agree with holding off for now.
I'd just bench Tchoyi for now, unless you have 2 frees? In which case I'd use that one for now on Tchoyi>Bannan, who has 3 nice games after this week.
That frontline could be the dream team front line this week....Hernandez is a dark horse around this part of the internets
I'm not sure on Hernandez is he likely to start? I know he is a big time player but Welbeck has been scoring well.
Just the one transfer free, your probably right two free's would give more room to move things around next week making 2 or 3 changes.
I can't believe i still have Tchyoi its been one of them things where others transfers always had to be made.
Hi all,
I am in a similar position to most really, I have both Aguero and Adebayor to deal with,
I am keen on keeping Aguero so who do you think is the best option?
Sturridge?
Personally would keep Adebayor over Aguero if you have both. Ade's fixtures are kinder if they both miss one game. Plus Aguero may well drop again.
Possibly but on the flip side I see Aguero as a threat against any team. Have more confidence in him than Ade.
nice pic +1
Whats up with adebayor?
Ive heard things but havent read much about his condition
Hamstring. I saw it on the tweets the other day, Harry rating him 50/50 and saying that he wont risk him.
is it me or has silva been on the scout picks every week?
Hi guys,
So after all this WC malarky, I have settled on this team.
I have chose the rotation of Begovic+Shawcross with Hennessey+Warnock. Didn't fancy doubling up on Wolves defence, but Villa's fixtures seem to match Wolves for a while so it works.
Decided to double up on Arsenal for a little while, would prove hugely beneficial in my mini-league if it works.
The only thing I'm missing I think is Suarez and Kompany, but funds just don't allow, or spaces for that matter.
With all this said here is my GW8 team, what do you think? Yes I'm bored today.
Begovic
ShawX Tierney Naylor
VDV Ramsey Sinclair Silva
Rooney Sturridge RVP(c)
Hennessey Petrov Warnock Simpson
I think WCing this week and not having Suarez or a way of getting Suarez in could bite you in the ass considering the three fixtures after this. Would rather leave Rambo as my sole Arsenal cover, put Suarez in for RVP and then upgrade Tierney to Enrique and see what cash you have left over for a rainy day?
Keepers - perfect rotation
Defenders - ShawX/Warnock rotation, not entirely convinced with 3 4.0's but you gotta make moullah somewhere.
Midfield - Silva and VDV top 2 over the next few IMO, Sinclair, Ramsey good choices, I am probably the only one not convinced with Petrov.
Forwards - Very good
I like it.
P.s I am guessing theres no way youd have Suarez over Rooney for the next few?
I agree with Mac about not having Suarez. I would chose him over rooney and upgrade tierney to enrique. I think both suarez & RVP will outscore Rooney considerably in the next 3 after that get Roon back in for Suarez, ie have 2 transfers for GW12. I know itd be hard being a united fan but thats my honest opinion.
It would be INCREDIBLY hard being a United fan...also my problem is that everyone in my mini-league has Rooney(c) week in week out. Sure if Suarez outscores him then it makes me a king, but if it doesn't then the WC becomes completely pointless..
Do you know what I am saying?
Grow a pair 😉
Nah I hear ya, as an overall move it MIGHT be better, but for your Leagues Rooney is the better option.
I know what you're saying and he's a good "blocker". RVP is a good enough differential. Its a tough choice because i can see more points for Suarez. Rooney will score 1 goal out the next 3 at best imo. I can see your logic for having him. So as you were 🙂
I have Suarez and you have Rooney. We'll see who wins in the next few weeks 😉
Arghhh, now you got me thinkin again. My forward line is the same as yours lol
On a scale of 1 to 10 how stupid a move is Nani > Gerrard?
I know its fairly stupid but got one of those funny feelings about Gerrard this week and then the next 3 fixtures are tasty.
It's probably close to a 10 on the stupidity scale
BUT
if you think this is your way of getting back in the game, then do it. You will get told not to do it on here, and the sensible thing is not to do it, but this is your team - take risks and have fun.
10, taking out one of the most in form players in the league for someone whos played what half an hour of football this season, in hope of him regaining his form of 2 years ago.
Nasri should have been sitting on the bench for at least 60 mins last week!
And he was rested before, so really hes being rotated around with Milner and Johnson.
I took him out last week and was justified until Aguero got injured and he came on to cause havoc!
How bout Kuyt instead? 🙂
RMT for this week please!
Ruddy (Given)
Kompany Bosingwa S.Taylor (Brown, Warnock)
Silva Bale Walcott Moses (Obertan)
Rooney Suarez Doyle
Free transfers i'm doing today to make this team, Young --> Bale, De Laet --> Kompany
Anyone got better suggestion for those freebies?
Aguero definitely out of Villa match. Should be ready for champs league and Man Utd, claim the Daily Mail.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2048458/Sergio-Aguero-gives-Manchester-City-boost-striker-set-face-Villarreal-Champions-League.html
Captain Nasri?
Was very impressive with Man City last week and with France.
Since Aguero is out, he will probably get more forward.
Just might take the risk.
Wouldnt go against it.
He has had 3 extremely good games in the last 2-3 weeks
I'm wondering. Is risky, but could pay off big. Got it on the Roonster at the moment, which is, erm, risky, but could pay off big.......
Hes French so will probably score 2 points this week! Or even sit on the bench again!!
Ok, I'm not able to post for some reason.
Except for now =) I think it's because of the link I pasted. Anyway, have you read the news that Messi and Krkic have the same grandgrandgrand...parent? Barca DNA.
VDV any injury concern
im in shock
lol
Where does it even say it?
All I saw was 'Arry saying he sometimes has problems with his hammy..
The Tevez Saga...
•12 December 2010 - Tevez says he is going to leave Man City
•20 December 2010 - Withdraws transfer request and commits future to club
•16 May 2011 - Says he will only stay at club if solution found to "family issues"
•8 June 2011 - Tevez says he will never return to "small and wet" Manchester after the end of his contract
•4 July 2011 - Tevez confirms he is going to leave City
•12 July 2011 - City turn down £35m bid from Brazilian club Corinthians for Tevez
•27 September 2011 - City boss Roberto Mancini says that he wants Tevez "out of the club" after the striker allegedly refused to play against Bayern Munich
•28 September 2011 - City suspend Tevez for two weeks
•12 October 2011 - City announce that Tevez will face disciplinary proceedings
Doesn't say much for his 'commitment' to the club.
Apologize before hand, might be re-posting the same question as others... But really this is so frustrating, problem a la two injury doubt forwards.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Vorm (given)
Bos Ward De Laet (Simpson) (Enrique)
Petrov Nani Dyer Silva (Tiote)
Rooney Ade Aguero
---------------------------------------------------------------
one free transfer and I have enough cash to bring in RVP, (SUN, STO, che), think im shipping Aguero out first.
even though other options look tempting:
Suarez - great fix's after Man Utd
Sturridge - cheap alter but not proven?
Drogba - punt oppurtunity, great fix's
or risk it with Dzeko???
Any suggestions would be helpful, thx before guys
Looks like im finally going to have to accept that Aguero is out. Damn.
Do I:
a) Still do planned move of O'Hara -> Petrov and play N.Dyer away at Norwich
b) Spend 4 points to do Aguero -> Sturridge, O'Hara -> Silva
Thanks
Why not keep Aguero, look at City's nice mini run after United.
A expect a heck of a lot of people will be wanting him back by then.
yeah...could do....but worried about having no city coverage.
i should prob just leave him and hope Swansea turn up at Carrow Road
Who has the best chance of playing this weekend of Welbeck and Odemwingie? Pondering who to swap for Sturridge.
would think Welbeck will get more time given distance Hernahdez is coming back from International
Morning guys. I know that there have been a few comments hinting on this, but i can't find anything on BBC sport or Spurs website.
Could anybody provide an update on Adebayor's fitness for this week end please?
There's an article on Sky sports. Basically 50:50 but 'arry won't risk him vs Newcastle so more like 25:75 against him playing.
Hi all- not sure whether to transfer mata or drogba - drogba simply for will he het game time and Mata not really scoring that high
Al Habsi
Jose Enrique R Taylor Bosingwa
Silva Mata Barton Walters
Rooney Drogba V Persie
Any advise helpful
i'd personally keep mata.
after all, from the way he's been playing he has been getting alot of touches on the ball.
against chelsea, he really should have scored, and besides, torres didnt finish the chances he created.
against norwich too, he could have scored more points, but torres' card forced AVB into a tactical change to bring him off
NEW POST!!!!!!
Ah Jafalad, found my Metro teams highest is 3,284 with a 7k 13k 16k and a truely awful 36k trailing in the dust.
3k top effort. My second team is way down the table in 18k.
It's trying to concentrate on fifteen or so teams in five or six different games with different rules, transfer limits etc. It's beginning to wear me down. I made one lot of transfers thinking it was a different league which saw me sitting with all my top scorers sitting on the bench for the week. 🙁 Still I doubt I'll do that again. 😉
Happy with my defence and goal. My midfield and attack lines up as follows:
Ramsey Nani Petrov Silva Dyer
RVP Sturridge Rooney
Reading some of the above comments however I am tempted to drop Rooney for Suarez. This would leave me with a 3.2m to bring in Adam for GW9.
Is that sensible, or should I stick with the Roon?
Im thinking of bringing shawcross into my team in light of the attractive fixtures.
my current line is
given vorm
kompany hutton simpson boswinga enrique.
silva mata ramsey dyer jarvis
rooney suarez disanto
who should i swap out?
or should i not even bring in shawcross?
what about the prospects of bringing in adeabayor?
and any recommendations on jarvis?
keep him or sell him?
thanks alot!
Sell Jarvis...
Hi Guys.
i have 2 FT , 1.7 in the bank ,my team is
Vorm Krul
Ward Barnett Boss Simpson Naylor
Arteta Mata Nani SWP Dyer
Suarez Ade Aguero
Any suggestions ?
Dyer > Petrov is the 1st sub which i’m considering
What do you guys think about this team and formation?
Voorm (Krul)
Jones, Shawcross, NTaylor (RTaylor, Brown)
Petrov, Ramsey, Silva, Nani (Dyer)
Suarez, RVP(C), Adebayor
Then will sub in RTaylor if Adebayor doesn't play for a 4, 4, 2 formation with RVP as captain
Most in my league are playing the Rooney/Augero double up front
So with Ade seemingly out, I need to replace my benchwarmer Holt with a striker worth £7.5m or less...narrowed it down to Klasnic, Agbon or Sturridge for this week, with Agbon the most likely given future fixtures. Only thing is they play City this weekend...thoughts?
h2h opponent has Aguero and probably wont sell him. I have him and a free transfer worth getting rid of him for Balotelli? And getting him back after deadline?
Or maybe drop him for Drogba for 2 weeks?
My other attacking 'threats' are Rooney, Suarez, Mata and Arteta
Vorm Or Schwarzer in my goal?
