We delve into the data this evening in our first members article of the week. Watford, Man City and Everton’s strikers arrive under analysis, whilst we also assess United and Newcastle’s attacks before casting an eye over a couple of defensive differentials from City and Liverpool.
United's stats are horrendous in attack.
Would you rather play:
A) Williams (nor)
B) Dawson (mun)
Williams.
A
B and I'm a United fan.
B
Same decision for me. I'm on A but unsure.
Enjoyed the Scoutcast, good work.
looking forward to watching in a while always top notch discussion from the lads
Somebody has to get you on the scoutcast
"LMS Safety score update is [ ]"
"Thanks TM, now Jonty..."
This
Rough with the Smooth
Rough
"The following have lost their LMS lives this week... "
Why don't you come on?
My accent is a mix of Ryan and Evs.
Beautiful, just what we want to hear
Hearing and understanding are two different things.
That's no excuse, everyone will understand you, please just 1
Let's start an online petition.
Let's do it
#TMFORSC
Delightful then.
This x100
Best one in a few weeks now.
Not watched yet but will do shortly
Was great, like the dynamic of three hosts.
I remember a few times years ago when it seemed a bit awkward with two, especially when someone got a roasting.I love watching the comments section, I was watching you
Yikes... scared.
Always, Always watching you
Ha-ha. Something must have got in your eye during the pre-season friendly on the weekend!
Very friendly affair, you were on off the top scoring sides though...
Always watching
How comes the recording isnt up yet? its usually up like clockwork
And there it is. Like clockwork 😉
Clocks went back an hour 😉
Anyone worried they're spending too much in defence and tying up funds, potentially making getting Aguero back problematic?
Can afford a straight Bony > Aguero personally and I have a solid def.
made sure that will not be the case
Well, after the 50 points he gave me in his last match, I would be happy to take a hit for him, especially given the fact I have 3 hits in 4 GWs.
Yep, although, if I bring in Ighalo at the same time I bring Aguerro back and downgrade one of my strong front 8 to bench fodder, I think I can manage quite comfortably.
True but I won't be gutted if I have to take a -4 to get him in sonehow
Yup, I'm trying to find a way to get rid of Dawson to someone who is less than 4.5.
I may just pass in the short term, decent options upfront at the minute
Yes. I am torn between two choices right now.
1. Darmian to someone like Koscielny or Bellerin. This would mean having to do Sánchez to Özil and downgrade Pellè to either Ighalo or Diouf so I could get Agüero in for Bony (three transfers).
2. Darmian to Moreno. This would mean being able to do Sánchez to Özil to afford Bony to Agüero (two transfers).I like the 2nd option best. Liverpool have good fixtures after the city game and less transfers used
By the hammer of Thor those fixtures are incredible! Don't know why I was so obsessed with Koscielny, I think I'd worked out a good fixture rotation with my other four centre backs and was too obsessed with that.
Thanks, I think I'll save the transfer and keep two for the international break (and start of FIFFSA tournament).
Nope. Still own Westwood so shouldn't be a problem.
How do you plan to get him back currently, say he returns after next gameweek?
Loads of ways to do it in 3 transfers. Depends what else is going on. I already have 3 saved.
Pelle to Aguero, Mitrovic to Ighalo, Kolarov to 4.7
Pelle to Aguero, Kolarov and Clyde to Moreno and 4.6 (or similar)
Maybe KDB or Sanchez downgrades but that seems unlikely2 saved
Which midfielder (short-term):
A) Özil
B) WijnaldumA.
A
Well, I've had a couple of (actually four in a row) decent weeks now, finally up in the top 10 (yay!), so I can really sense a slump ahead.
As for next week, I think it will be a low scoring week other than Leicester attack, so lining up this way:
Butland,
Dawson, **Janmaat, van Dijk,
Sanchez, Mahrez (c), de Bruyne, **Payet,
Pelle, **Kane, Vardy.
(Ruddy, Westwood, Huth, Nyom) - £3.7m in the bank.
My defence is really bad, three away games with two of them difficult. But hardly sure I want to use a transfer on defence two weeks in a row.
Also, I bought Kane EXACTLY with these two weeks in mind, but not exactly sure of selling him this week. Fancy Lukaku from GW13 myself.
So, Kane to Lukaku, Payet to some Mane-esque midfielder, a defender from United... or save and go into the int break with 2 FT.
Much appreciated. 🙂Yep, looks good.
Payet - Wij/Ozil if you must but otherwise I'de save FTThanks. That is what I am leaning towards as well, though I also don't want to keep Kane.
I know how you feel, I've owned him the last two weeks and because of the fact he's saved my game week twice now, I think I'll hold for the London Derby and WHM.
I personally would save, as I think I value that extra transfer over int break quite highly.
I'm saving the Scoutcast for tomorrow's boring drive to work
I have definitely missed a trick the last few times
But the Scoutcast might make you fall asleep at the wheel....
Or hopefully get me excited at all the potential transfer opprrtunities I have inevitably missed 😛
Which 1 to play this week
a) Dier v ARS
b) Evans v MAN U
c) Delaney v LIVEvans from those 3.
yikes...next question
Evans booking and 2 goals conceded imo
We can only score 2 if we manage to have 2 shots on target...
Evans easy
nah.
Ya.
AOA chip?
0 pts
0 pts
1 pt
so, Delaney
A) Play Francis (NEW) (Save FT)
B) Darmian > Moreno (FT) and play Moreno (CPL) (Long term too)
If Bellerin is indeed out, Evans -> Moreno becomes even more easy
But Koscielny.
Can anyone with a good knowledge of football rules help clarify something. On Saturday in the Man City vs Norwich game Russell Martin was sent off for blocking the ball in front of goal with his arm and has therefore been given a ban. I noticed though that Sterling was given an assist which implies the penalty was given for a foul in the build up. Therefore should the sending off still stand? Do Norwich have a case for getting the ban rescinded?
I'm monitoring assists within FPL. There is a real inconsistency on what they give and don't give (based on their rules).
You've made more of this than necessary. His assist was awarded as it was his shot that Martin handled.
Absolutely buzzing after that performance from City tonight. Finally looking good in Europe. Need to keep that up now.
Away to Juve will be a test
Yeah it will be a tough game but play like that and certainly should have a good chance.
Was a great game to watch
Yeah very entertaining. Enjoyed it immensely.
As a Fabianski owner I can't help but notice he has been due a price drop every day for about the last week now (FPL statistics). Anybody else find the whole secret price change thing annoying with FPL?
I know the argument - same for everyone, but it isn't! Some players seem to change price more rapidly than others. The fact it's secret stinks!
Rant over... 🙂 . ps. I love FPL x
Is Aguero's price frozen or will he drop tonight? I'm 0.1 off bringing him back if I go for Rojo
Not frozen at the minute but I believe he will be frozen in a price change for 10 days once the flag is removed
Thanks, so we expect him to drop tonight then? Sitting at -102% with FFF
Been predicted to drop for a few days but never quite made it... expecting him to hit 13.0 at least before he returns.
Cheers mate.
Spoke to my mate who supports United and he considers Rojo more of a medium term rotation risk than I'd previously thought. That's enough to tip me over the edge and settle for Moreno I think.
Looks like cash won't be an issue after all.
Hi guys- help pls! used my AOA last week- so got have to drop 1 of the following for this gameweek to the bench!
payet, mane, sanchez, kdb, mahrez
vardy, pelle, lukaku
any ideas? I m confused as hell!Bench Sanchez. He will blank. But you probably won't be able to do it so Payet or Pellè.
I can t get my head around benching sanchez!
I m torn between mane as I have pelle coverage or payet....Fellow Sánchez benchers unite!
identical front 8 to me - i'm leaning to sanchez mainly because he;'s arsenal vs spurs 🙂
also after bayern munich where he must play maybe not so hot
and who else could you drop given the opponents?Its a tough one.... I m a spurs fan and it almost makes it easier if we lose and sanchez scores... can you imagine 2-0 arsenal with sanchez goal and assist?!
In order to fund Aguero:
KDB to:
A) Wijnaldum
B) Ozil
C) Yaya
D) HoldD for Villa atleast. Save too.
Awesome, looks like I'll be having 2 FTs for the Intl. Break and before the FIFFSA tourney 🙂
That's great!
D may take a couple of games to get back up to speed
Cheers mate. Think this is what I'll do
When is Aguero back? Says for Liverpool game but have there been any announcements/ public updates?
I dream of a time that I'll be on the ScoutCast.
Probably have to win FPL in fairness cuz I'm hard to stick.Be in the top 10 near the end like that guy that was on it last season
Must do that actually good shout.
I wonder if they'd get Wild Rover on it after that great performance
They should really get him on.
Naked waving his £1000 cash into the Google+ cam.With his hat 😉
That's it!
Stark naked, hat, £1000 cash.
Boost the viewing figures a bit.
Might get a few complaints from Ofcom though.I've never seen WR rover IRL so all I can imagine is his grav naked...
Near the top of FPL? I don't remember that.
You might mean Kevin Anderson who they got on it a couple of times? He was near the top of Sky fantasy.No, I'm pretty sure this guy was 6th in fpl and was after benching Grealish for a haul
Yeah, Jack Wain I think it was (Jawain)
Ah yes.
One day....
When I came home, at lunch time, I heard a funny noise
I dream that day every night in my head.
It's started to consume me.
Not seeing much love for bringing in Ighalo on the boards this week...and quite a few flogging him for more expensive shiny new toys...Is he too cheap?
It doesn't matter who he plays for or how much he costs...what matters is how many touches in the box he gets, how many shots in the box, his shot accuracy...blah blah blah..
Top scorer in English football for 2015 and folk are flogging him for players of equal quality but three mill more...Must be crackers...
99.6 Fpl stats
Yeah, mainly in the wider world...Not many on her bringing him in...if anybody at all...
I would say alot of people have priorities at the min . Alot of people have Vardy , Pelle , Kane , Lukaku . When Aguero comes back he might be a very popular pick
I might captain him
Aye....no reason why not.
May end up as my Aguero escape route if things don't go to plan.
Affords me to keep Ozil alongside Sanchez in a 3-5-2..or 3-4-3 some weeks when I choose......
What's your 5 mids?
I sold for Kane this week, the stats were something like Watford only scoring 8 goals although he has been involved in 6 of the goals prior to this week but a good price and easy enough to change back to if I decide.
*last week
True enough... How do you like these apples btw.. http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/3846/
An option in a few weeks time to accomodate Aguero probably
I've has him for a few weeks and he's going nowhere
Watford don't score many goals and are unlikely to for the remainder of the season. He's scored or assisted 9 of their 10. Surely not sustainable. That said, I thought he looked very good at the weekend and your points are all valid
Oooooh, big numberssss.
Hmmm I was set on Sterling, but Ozil is now in my thoughts.
Sterling goal threat v Ozil assists and involvement?😆
Watch Ozil play tomorrow.What a great idea 🙂
The hell is wrong with Bellerin? Whys someone said he's out
Also, KDB rested or dropped?Check stickies on Scout Squad
KDB rested, came on for last 15 mins, being saved for Villa at weekend 🙂
Okay I think I agree with you.
Any Bellerin news?Out midweek.
Little scout tweet would be fab if you have the power. I rely on them for such nuggets of info haha
I'm sure it will be covered off Friday night Chris but as people mention he may be OK for the weekend
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20151103/team-news-bellerin-arteta-ospina
I don't do the tweets.
when is aguero due back? a lot of chat going on about his return here...
Not this week. After that, anyone's guess
Bony or Lukaku then in for Martial..
coin toss
Lukaku....The Bony window is all but done now. The last thing you want after the international break is a non starter that you could have avoided...
^ This
Per Lineker... Bellerin is out.
...of tomorrow nights game
Minor groin strain - probably back at w/end
Small groin injury.
My quick research says they heal in a week.
Phew.
May just play AOA if so
First timer in our 29 man ML this year. Started with an autocomplete team incl Baines, Dzeko and Remy. He's captained his gk 6 times and a def 3 times. He's currently leading by 42 points with a ranking of 11k. Sometimes this game defies all logic!
Chin up you will get there, guy at top on my work league used his bench boost this week for an extra 7 points
A guy I know used his bench boost to start Ighalo over Naughton, oh wait that was me
hahaha hope for us all then, don't reckon he will be top come end of season.
Anyone have any insight whether danny simpson is nailed on or a risk?
3.9m for a leicester defender seems temptingGood price but 1 CS this season
Cheers im thinking as a cheap 5th defender currently have ward at 4.4m so could save .5 to use elsewhere
how many points would you give up today for an extra £1.0m in the bank?
None at the moment with Aguero out.
Is he really back for Liverpool game?
4 points
Deserves to be totp that. 😛
Wenger say how long Bellerin out for?
Just midweek
Thanks Demi
Anyone who does the Bet365 inplay offers.
Bet £50 prematch get £50 bet inplay.
Bellerin is in the listing for first goalscorer he is as we know out and won't play your £50 pre match will be refunded as a non runner. And you'll get the £50 in play as a no lose shot to nothing.
It is the in-play bet that gets refunded if it fails - value is up to initial prematch bet! (I think anyway) - from their email today:
Place a pre-match bet on the Bayern Munich v Arsenal game and we'll give you a risk free In-Play bet to the same stake (up to £50) on the big match. T&Cs apply.
To qualify for your risk free In-Play bet, simply place a bet before kick-off then, once the game starts, place another bet on any In-Play market. If your FIRST In-Play bet loses we will refund this stake, up to the same value as your largest pre-match bet (max refund £50). Where more than one In-Play selection is placed on the same bet slip, the risk free bet will be deemed to be the one which is first on the bet slip.Both would get refunding in this case. The Bellerin bet is like a normal void bet, but it activates the in-play bet. No risk as Tony says
ahh the non runner clause! missed that, it does say it may clear bets that cant lose though, although it hasnt so far...
I know fellas who do it all the time with those who haven't made the squad.
I know that.
But backing Bellerin prematch activates the free bet. And Bellerin is no lose unlike other things people will back to activate the free bet.
The secures a completely no lose bet.
You've done this before .... Gamblor!
*investor 😉
That's bloody genius. Unfortunately I've already done my usual over 0.5 goals. But that's ok 'cos I plan to punt on 0-0 anyway - unlikely it may be, but it's such a big price...and it'd suit Arsenal fine if they can manage it.
I get this but the possible lift on this is usually ridiculously low for my liking.
It'll be the return on over 0.5 more than likely so a few quid profit?Oh yeah, fully expecting all of £1 profit ha. But if the 0-0 comes in - that's what I'm really punting on.
Fellas I know went Joel Campbell non runner Koscielny anytime @ 18s with their free 50s crazy I thought till I saw Kos attacking the set piece Giroud scored from.
wow. Yeah, that'd be nice. I usually just cover the 0-0 offsite to guarantee the money back, and pick something out that I fancy in running.
But I'm not feeling very inspired this time and some think the game will be tight. Here's one such preview: http://www.goonersguide.com/football-pick-27366-Bayern-Munich-v-Arsenal.htm
Best punt to take for just this week before wildcarding next week? Already tripled up on City with Kolarov, KDB and Bony
Bentekkers
Let me get a crystal ball and I'll see what it predicts without your team being linked
