Spurs duo Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen arrive under analysis in our first members piece of the week. Watford’s budget frontman, Arsene Wenger’s dilemma up front and Leicester’s out-of-position Ghanaian are also on our radar after impressive weekend showings.
Why is everyone getting rid of Costa before Pool, Stoke, Norwich, Spurs, and Bournemouth????? Serious baffled. Chelsea need points badly and while they don't look great, there's no way they go through those 5 games without at least 10 points.
Because they can't score in a brothel right now
haha...never hear that one before. +1
They may get through with more than 10 points, but there are players out there who will get a lot more points than Costa over the same period.
I captained him 2 weeks ago as my replacement for Aguero. Was expected to see the turnaround but feel lucky to take the 24 points and use that slot on someone with chance of scoring most points next few weeks before Aguero returns
Exactly. I got him in last week for my Aguero replacement and got a lovely 1 point...
Maybe because he is injured?
Chelsea are playing abysmally and he got injured last night
Is he fit for the next game?
Cech (Myhill)
Kolarov, Bellerin, VVC (Nyom, Francis)
Sanchez, Payet, Mahrez, Barkley, Mane
Pelle, Vardy, Costa
1 FT, 0.5 ITB
Who replace Costa with, plan on bringing in Aguero when playable:
A. Bony
B. Kane
And who bench? Thinking MahrezCech Schwarzer
Azpi Kolarov Bellerin Cedric Saylor
Sanchez KDB Sterling Mane Mahrez
Pelle Sakho Ighalo
2FT 1.2ITB
My priority is to upgrade Sakho. But I have to free up funds by selling another. Here are my options:
a) Sakho + Azpi -----> Lukaku + Moreno/Jones
b) Sakho + Cech -----> Giroud + 4.5GK
c) Sakho + Sterling -----> Bony + Barkley
d) anything else?
In options b + c I would have to sell Cech/Sterling as I have 3 Arsenal and City
CheersReally sorry. fail
Sakho>Vardy imo
Cheers Eden. I'm going to give Vardy a miss I think. I dont want to have a Mahrez or Vardy benching headache and their fixtures turn soon anyway
Thanks for that
Sorry
A if you're planning on bringing Aguero back in.
A.
I'd bench Vardy over MahrezBias 😕
explain 😉
You don't have Vardy
That's because I think Mahrez is more value than vardy. Hardly call it bias
B
Bench Barkley imoBarkley has SUN at home. It is between Leicester players at wba
Then Mahrez
Or save the FT and bench Costa. Comes down to who scores most points this GW (Mahrez/Vardy vs Bony/Kane) and value of a spare FT...
Right now leaning to Costa > Bony and benching Mahrez. And then I will watch Kane/Mahrez hatties
Fail repost:
Cech Schwarzer
Azpi Kolarov Bellerin Cedric Saylor
Sanchez KDB Sterling Mane Mahrez
Pelle Sakho Ighalo
2FT 1.2ITB
My priority is to upgrade Sakho. But I have to free up funds by selling another. Here are my options:
a) Sakho + Azpi -----> Lukaku + Moreno/Jones
b) Sakho + Cech -----> Giroud + 4.5GK
c) Sakho + Sterling -----> Bony + Barkley
d) anything else?
In options b + c I would have to sell Cech/Sterling as I have 3 Arsenal and City
CheersI like A
cheers
Would you go Moreno (4.7) or Jones (5.2)Moreno. He's nailed on, plus could be some attacking returns and he's on some set pieces.
Easier option to bench for the likes of City in a couple of weeks too
Of these options I like A but would rotate Moreno with Cedric.
Can you do Cech to Myhill (4.8) to fund any of the forward moves?Cheers.
Yeah, I will rotate Cedric and Moreno
I can only do Cech to Myhill if I went for LukakuHe is on my shortlist too but with Barkley feel good about some EVE coverage
Yep, with Everton I think 'coverage' isnt such a dirty word as it literally is either Barkley or Lukaku
You guys think I should trade Martial out for Lukaku/Kane/Bony or just save my FT?
Save. If LVG has any sense he'll play Martial up top.
thats a big IF
I don't think he does but it might be worth hoping
Don't trust LVG!
trade, kaku
In playing AOA this week and wild carding in two weeks. If you had no other concerns, what do you think of Ighalo (WHU) -> Kane (c)
Go for it but I think Igloo will score
When I bring back Aguero probably going to fund with either Pelle or Vardy > Ighalo. Wish I never got rid a few weeks back
Ighalo is a fantastic 8th attacker for the season. Especially if you bought him at 5.0 I wouldnt get rid of him. Thought Kane c is a good one week shout
I disagree....I think he is a fantastic 7th attacker
This is true as benching him has caused a lot of us regrets. My point is his value for the points he gives is hard to ignore. And he's 'cheap enough' to bench
Do it only of you have no plans to bring back Ighalo.
If you're wildcarding when Aguero's back...why not? Great time for punts. Not sure about him as a captain though. Bournemouth were shocking more than Spurs playing good.
Cheers all!
How do you think Arsenal will line up against Swansea?
Cech
Bellerin Gabrienly Monreal
Flamini Coq
Ozil Caz Sanchez
GiroudWe're not sure about the extent of the injuries so its hard to tell really
Possible.
yep close to if theo and Ox are out (tbc)
Caz would be the big beneficiary here, although Ozil at 8.6 is surely still better value than Caz at 8.1
Are you kidding?!
Caz is on pens , 0.5m cheaper , has more SOT
So looking ahead, what are peoples plans for Mahrez and Vardy. Some horrible fixtures for Leicester GW 14-19 (MAN U, swa, CHE, eve, liv, CITY).
I will sell Vardy after swa
If his form shows regression
swa, CHE, eve expect goals in all 3. I'd keep both.
Maybe will ship Mahrez but still trust Vardy.. Given the chance, he'll surely score, unlike the other premium striker out there. Even Lukaku was out of his game yesterday, given the opportunities he's had.
Man City is way too strong. Vardy for some chance, but Mahrez maybe not.
Liverpool's def have been pretty steady despite their continuous draws. Might be just a goal from Leicester or none, which is somewhat similar against Spurs very early on.
Chelsea looks poor, and assuming this form continues to Christmas, then Leicester stands a chance plus the Foxes are playing at home.
Swansea is an unknown but could be seen somewhat like Palace and be a fierce match.
Man Utd looks good in their defence. Not too sure if they csn continue this form, but it's expected tbat the Reds will win even if they do not have a clean sheet.
I want to get a 4th playing def into my team to get some rotation based on fixtures.
Already have Azpi-Clyne-Alderwield, also Myhill is my GK
Who should I get
A) Kolarov/Kompany
B) VVD/Cedric
C) Smalling/Jones
D) Someone cheap that's playing. Who?They're all good picks tbh. I'd get Azpi out for whoever you go for.
I want to upgrade mu 4th def... not one of those 3 that are already in there
You will you be getting rid of?
Oxford or S.Taylor... haven't been able to get rid of them for a while now.
VVD and Smalling appear to be the best out of all options you have. They offer best attacking returns while not being injury/rotation risks
Thanks mate!
Have anyone else in mind? I'm open to all suggestions...
Was pondering should I even do that, or wait for my WC, not sure when that is... probably when Kun is backMoreno is a good shout but you already have Clyne.
The ones you have listed are probably...are probably the best for the coming fixtures
yeah, on my WC definitly clyne->moreno
Vardy --> Giroud will give me the ultimate Donkey front 3 of
Pelle Lukaku Giroud, Any takers ? 😀
Could do well in the next couple of weeksThrow Rooney in and you have the cast of a famous animation
If only Smalling was 1M less 🙁
This^
I would have bought him twice and double up on him in defence then.
This. 🙁
every premier league game Kompany has played, City have kept a cleansheet. Huge contrast from last season
Captain Fantastic
One could say that 😉
Yes?
(C)olarov returns 😎
Lost his form!
*Zasa working on his dance moves for the next time we meet.
https://media3.giphy.com/media/HgKItzy7Ujsze/200.gifZasa is 😎
You are not
Just realised I own the 7 (fit) attackers with the highest points per game.
Mahrez (7.8) De Bruyne (7.2) Payet (7.1) Sanchez (6.5) Ozil (6.0)
Vardy (7.0) Pelle (5.8) Ighalo (5.4)
and when I look at my team I'm still not 100% happy. I should just log out now.
Might make a mistake like I did last week in doing Ozil>Ayew for a hit.How bad was Valencia's injury. Does it look serious ?
Already lost 0.2 on Muniesa and Richards and want to get rid of Darmian before he drops in priceMyhill with 9 bonus pts, 7 save pts
6/10 cleansheets
Damn you Begovic. At least the fixtures turn in his favor.*favour
Sorry, I'm assuming your a yank and I couldn't help myself
Canadian. We spell it "favour" too. Google's autocorrect has other ideas though.
*you're a yank 😉
you're*
(since you put you head above the parapet)
Really wish I replaced Courtois with Myhill instead of Begovic.
Same. That's the decision bothering me. I didn't get Myhill because I thought Lindegaard would take his place.
Myhill is one of the reason with my low ranking, another is Payet 🙁
I have seen the ICT index, the ticker, FFF assistant manager recommendations and I'm back where I feel most comfortable 😀 totally clueless and looking for security in numbers.
Westwood > Mane or Gomis > Lukaku
This week and long termB (assuming you'll bench WW)
Yes I would. Yep worst comes move to Kun in a couple of weeks, makes sense
Lukaku.
Hazard to Mane for free?
No.
Keep hazard or don't get mane?
Kolarez is either a Chelsea fan or he's trolling you!
It's a no-brainerCheers. Who would you get between barkley and mane?
I have Mane and wouldn't trade for Barkley even if it didn't cost me a FT
Haz to mane done
Yeah I would.
Why the hell not ... Hazard stinks right now!
Go for it
better option
A) Cabaye as 5th mid with defence of bellerin alderwield jones dawson nyom
B drinkwater as 5th mid with defense of bellerin alderwield smalling vvd nyom/morenoA
A ... and play him when they have a good fixture.
B is too much money in defence and you'll want to play 4 of those guys most weeks!Neither for me, don't like Cabaye as 5th mid. And second team defence is just something too luxury to have.
Are you Kolarov owners sure he'll start the next few weeks over Clichy?
Clichy isn't back yet. When he is Kolarov will definitely be a risk
Oh. I thought he was back October 31st (according to FPL). When is he actually coming back?
Clichy isn't back yet.
Lord will score points regardless
If a player in ure team does not play , first substitute will come in?
Need 3 defenders.
Yes, as long as the player coming on makes a legitimate FPL formation
Ah ok thanks

No one want to go for Sanchez against Swansea?
AOA with this lot?
Begovic
Kolarov, Dawson
Sanchez, De Bruyne, Ozil, Payet, Mahrez
Pelle, Lukaku, Ayoze
McCarthy, Williams, Richards, TargettSeems like AOA is a better option.
Why is Scoutcast is not working?
Guys would you take a hit to improve this defence?
bego McCarthy
skrtel bellerin morgan whittaker gomezDefo
OMG! I would.
2 m itb. Gomez > Berty?
VvD
You could play this GW out with Skrtel, Bellerin & Morgan rather than taking a hit
its minus 4 this week or a tfr you don't want to use next week. So yes
Someone was posting saying Darmian is still number one, Valencia just gets the odd rotation such as last GW
True or bollocks?Behind the 8ball after dwelling on the Pedro decision
Butland McCarthy
Kolarov Clyne Huth Francis Muniesa
Pedro Payet Mahrez Sanchez YYT
Pelle Vardy Martial
2FTs | £1.2m in bank
A. Muniesa, Pedro > VVD, Mane/Ozil
B. Muniesa, Pedro, Martial > VVD, Mane, Kane -4pts
Thoughts appreciatedA is enough.
Cheers SMEGGS
According to your options I would go with A.
Its too early to call on Kane to Martial and I wouldn't do it for -4.
Hoping Van Gaal will wake up and see that Martial is the best 9 he has.Thanks Nisheda.
Agreed about Martial too
Ighalo+Payet -> Bony + Ali??
Is it worth it for 2 weeks??No
Giroud's name has moved up after last night!
