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.
Wenger confirms that Bellerin will miss Arsenal's trip to Bayern with a "small groin problem"
For the weekend than?
i hope so!!
Friday pressers I recon
Embarrassing for Bellerin
Why?
Time for a coffee
I hate coffee....and tea for that matter.
😯 What's to hate?
Groin problems is usually because one slacks during warm up or other preparations.
But I guess Leaf was making a sexual punOh....
because he is missing the bayern game because of his small groin.
Wenger only likes big to medium groins, when your groin is small...you got problems..
😀
Hope so
(I know you shouldn't)
REPOST, need some help here lads
Which is a better option for next week?
A- 3-4-3 with (Kolarov, Cedric and Francis/Azpi), benching Payet/Mane
B- 3-5-2 with (Kolarov, Cedric and Francis/Azpi), benching Kane
C- AOA with Azpi on benchA - Play Azpi. Bench Payet out of those. Benching Kane is mad in a derby, even though the derby is vs Arsenal.
And get a grav mate. You seem to post here a lot
@Members. Do a comparison tool and compare Pelle home vs away.. That difference is wow. I might bench him even though it's against SAFC.
Thats what i am on at the moment. But the issue is its SUN.
His biggest haul was Away tho vs CHE. He played vs WAT and vs WBA away, while the start of the season for SOU wasnt that good.
Chelsea were shambles at that game. Skewing the stats clearly
Yeah but it's Sunderland....
Ha, you're never going to bench him against Sunderland!
Mins Per Attempt:17.3 @home
Mins Per Attempt:41.8 @away
Sorry members for the small peek of stats.
However looks like Pelle will have 2 shots away @SAFC, hope he won't score with any of them. Smaller risk to bench him right? If he scores at least you know you have played the smart stat decision
And he needs a least 5 to score
The trend is not that horrible if you isolate to this season. But yeah, including previous seasons - wow
However SAFC conceded 24 big chances per game that means 2,18 big chances per game. I guess one of that big chances will go to Pelle (statistically wise), so I think gambling on him being the donkey on that one big chance is worth the risk no?
Something to consider for sure. By the way congrats on the H2H win in Balders' tournament. My poor benching decisions cost me in the end!
Yeah your bench saved me, but it was very interesting, you had the 1:0 lead after I made 12 pt hit, you had all the advantage, but didn't capitalize. Wish me luck in the next round against Hooky. However I love the format, really involves more skill than luck
Yeah you can definitely play H2H over 3 rounds very tactically if you want. There were a lot of decisions to be made in the 3rd round I felt. Anyway it was a deserved win, so good luck for the next round. Hopefully I was eliminated by the eventual winner!
thanks mate, I hope the same haha 😉 Cheers
Yep. Pelle has 18 league goals for So'ton, 15 home & 3 away. Think Pelle is better for the home games & Mané for the away fixtures.
But then again, it is vs. Sunderland.And of course this solid argument debate of the most difficult question this GW "who to bench" is not hulked and that copy paste for WBA gets hulked. Comeee oonnn (moaning like Jose) hahahaha 🙂 But really, we need hulked post who to bench. Jonty..???
But that post will just be "who to bench this week?" Followed by a series of responses with one player name. No debate
I agree this debate is better. To bad it isn't hulked
What's your obsession with always wanting to be hulked?
I think only half his post look like they want to get hulked
split personality I reckon
Oh, never knew we can compared the same players.
yeah we can. Thank god I compared Ighalo home and away previous GW, his away stats were off the chart and were screaming explosion imminent and I played him. Brace at the end thank you very much 🙂 😉
You can't ignore the fact that Sunderland have conceded 14 in their last 6 games. That's just as relevant (if not more so) a stat than the difference between Pelle's home/away form.
Yeah they are considering 2.18 big chances per GW, I also mentioned that above. Check it..
I wouldn't like to bank on their main striker missing at least one big chance. I guess you've got a really good front 8, so fair enough if he's the one that you need to bench. My team's not quite that strong though!
Have you seen Sunderland defending lately? They have no clue what is going on. Even against Newcastle they didn't exist until referee's help. They have rotation in CB all the time. If Coates plays, I'm sure they concede 2 at least.
Hey foks!
1FT
3.4 ITB
myhill,butland
bellerin,kolarov,dann,vvd,richards
sanchez,surman,payet,mahrez,kdb
pelle,vardy,bony
Thinking of doig myhill -> DDG
cause I feel like the most easy CL for butland or myhill are behinde them for now..
Yay or Nay?
If you had 2FT i think yeas. But with one save it for me, 2fts is a nice thing to have come next week
Next week international break?
Any point having Ozil as well if I have Sanchez already?
If you think he'll score more points than your current players go for it
Loads of points hopefully
Of course. You don't get penalised for doubling up on the 2nd best attack in the league.
I might replace Alexis even. Ozil soon will be a must. I asked KDB to Ozil everyone said no no no
Thoughts guys? Now both Janmaat and Bellerin are yellowed shall I use my FT to swap Prodl or Dawson for someone?
Cech
Moreno / Bellerin / Janmaat
Sanchez / Payet / Mahrez(vc) / KDB
Pelle / Bony(c) / Vardy
Subs: Gomes / Dawson / Wanyama / ProdlHas Prodl lost his place? If so him to another 4.5 or Dawson to Moreno if you feel you want off West Brom
It seems he has.
I'd rather have Moreno playing instead of Dawson.
Hoping to follow in WR's footsteps and am going all out to try to win UFPL for November. A few things I have noticed are there are only 3 gameweeks, Spurs play 3 times on a Sunday, Liverpool twice at home on Sundays, Palce v Sunderland is the only Monday match. Anyone got any advice for a first time UFPL player or can anyone suggest any punts?
Be brave with the loans if you need to so you have a good bench...and cross your fingers.
Start your team with something like....Toby Eriksen Kane....Moreno Coutinho Benteke...
All this Pelle talk is going to be like last year when Hazard couldn't score away from home
Peel to Aguero soon anyway...
Kane / Vardy / Aguero
Killing time at work and genuinly interested to learn from any Man U fans or others so plz excuse a repost-
A comment above about Man Us attackers got me thinking. For me this would be a good basis for them-
----Bastien Schnidelin-----
????------Mata------????
-------------Martial--------
That leaves-
Rooney
Herrera
Young
Valencia
Depay
Fellani
Blind
Carrick
All of these players are either pretty poor or if put in the team would be out of position. LVG is an obv stubborn bugger but they have a really unbalanced and in place overloaded squad. Interested in any Man U fans take on them.
Just feels odd that they are so high in the league and i have no interest in their mids or forwards.Don't think Man U fans have woken up yet
I watched the whole of the Palace game, 'chuffing' dire.
We are about to go into our best fixture run so far this season. Last week I brought in Smalling. This week I got rid of Martial.
Just about sums up how we're playing.Fair enough. I have no Prem team so not winding up here. There is a basis of a good team there but alot of average players too
Why not fellaini in goal?
I personally think Valencia doesn't have a place in MID.. can only be used as backup RB else, must be sold. Same with Fellaini, must be sold. Depay must be given some time, until end of season maybe. Carrick nearing retirement.
Left with only Young and Herrera. I think Herrera plays well alongside Mata and should book the RM place. For the LM, it must be played between Young and Depay (some minutes).
Rooney, if played, must be in the No.10 role, in the place of Mata in your lineup.Agree with time for Depay. Personally I think Mata is potentially one of the best number 10's in the league. Wasted anywhere else
Indeed, he's the best Man Utd player this season so far (beside DDG and Smalling).
That says, no place for Rooney, else coming from the bench at the 70min mark, to replace Mata. Coz Mata does feel tired after the hour mark.
Pace on the wings. To force the opposition back, make the pitch wide & give midfielders more space to dictate play. That's why Martial & Lingard have been played wide. I'd expect Depay to get a bit more gametime as well also.
I was at the game last night. Unfortunately, Depay looked completely shorn of confidence when he came on, so I think it may take time for him to come back as a starter. Lingard was heavily involved in our attacking play and it seems that LVG is a fan. Rooney actually played a lot better than he has recently, so I wouldn't leave him out completely.
So for now i'd go for Mata, Rooney and Lingard/Depay behind Martial.
The rest of the players you list are either clearly not wide attacking players or are past their prime.Interesting on Lingard, LVG does seem to like him. Depay needs to realize hes not C Ronaldo yet
Butland
Cedric - Azpi - Moreno
De Bruyne - Mane - Payet - Sanchez - Mahrez
Pelle - Martial
Subs: Myhill - Ighalo - Mert - Janmaat
Do I wildcard? I am very happy with my midfield going forward, so I am not changing that when I wildcard. I am very unhappy with my defence. Want Bellerin in for Mert and maybe get rid of Azpi until Chelsea get back to form. Also forwards wise would rather I had somebody else instead of Martial and my keepers are poor going forward.
Any thoughts or tips going forward?
Don't waste it. Team's in rude health. Prob use it to rejig things when Kun is back.
Remember the bad old days when Koscielny defended like this?!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQK-ZnF0HeU?
"Pelle can score big away from home too!"
Oh, I see ...
Your Pelle's away myth argument?
Not saying it's a myth - I'm sure there's some stats out there that show he's not done as well away from home but just 2 games ago he did okay...
I think if you have someone in form and the fixtures, you should at least play him regardless of the history.
I'll definitely be playing him but then I've set my team up to still have Westwood benching fodder
The beauty of bench fodder.
Gonna bench Payet or Ighalo myself. Or even Vardy.vardy? ahh goodluck with that..
Sunderland defense seems to be as bad or even worse as Chelsea's. I think I'm not as brave to bench Pelle although his stats dropped significantly.
So nervous for the game KAA Ghent agaist Valencia tonight! Going to watch in the Stadium 🙂
Enjoy! 🙂
Is it a good time to get rid of Dawson?
Yes
I'm keeping him, because I'd like to have 2FT during int. break. Otherwise I think it's time to sell him.
As mentioned on last night's Scoutcast - here's the Sarjeant with a new colour coded look at team form going into Gameweek 12
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/11/04/team-performance-indicator-gameweek-12/
Would you keep your chelsea assests (in my case azpi) from now on considering their kind schedule?
Of course! Would be crazy to sell imo
not sure if I'm nuts,but I'm even thinking of replacing bony with that bustard costa,not aguero,starting with gw13.
We'll we can both to the asylum together 🙂
have you got two straightjackets? 🙂
I have him so long I'd be a fool to sell him now.
http://cdn.ismfg.net/static/plfpl/img/shirts/photos/17784.jpg
Look him in the eye and say you gonna drop him.
I can't do it.He's too beautiful to bench
It's him or Payet, and Pelle's away form hasn't been great, ever..
Hes no Giroud
This. Giroud is too beautiful
To K.O.L
Both are gorgeous but id rather Pelle, he looks like the type that would cook you breakfast in the morning
😆
Giroud any day. He's the kind of guy you don't really understand what he's saying, but you put up with it anyway because he'll be the one that makes sure all your needs are satisfied.
#smoldering
Interesting point. The french have the reputation of being generous lovers. I Think you may be right but Pelle is the type of guy who knows whats hes doing and will give you an experience that you will be dreaming about when you are in your 60s and wondering how different life could have been
Haha you win! 😛
A bit intense there for a wet Wed morning!
Nice a warm in Singapore 😉
You're right.
I can't look him in the eye.
Fabianski
Monreal | Cédric | Janmaat
Sánchez | Hazard | De Bruyne | Mané
Lukaku | Pellè | Ighalo
2FT, 0.0M.
Thoughts on:
– Hazard –> Sissoko (bou, LEI, cpl)
– Fabianski –> Da Gea (WBA, wat, lei, WHM, bou, NOR, stk)
It leaves enough for Pellè –> Agüero with one transfer.
Not bad. But is Aguero back this soon?
Looks like Hector will miss the weekend ðŸ™
Debuchuy is now tempting for my one week punt 🙂
don't be silly 😉 why are people +1 this haha
I plus oned because it is important info and if people are searching the thread by discussion rating then it'll be near the top.
that's nice 🙂 Looking at Wenger says, he talks about Bellerin then mentions the others are closer to a return, saying training on friday etc. which would indicate he's definitely missing the weekend, especially so he doesn't go to Int. Duty
That's some real reading between the lines!
😀
I +1 since it's about time things go my way
lol
looks like AOA will have to come out with Bellerin, B Davies & Hangeland on my bench!
Yikes
is there no word on rose injury, he had to come off on monday
Has he said how long he'll be out for YMA?
not yet
Ah right, cheers mate
Every time someone makes a groin jokes, it reminded me of this scene.

Gotta love Chandler.Gotta love Friends!
🙂
Still can't believe it's been 20 years since the first episode.Time flies my friend.
Monreal a better option than Bellerin now with the 0.2m price difference?
I think its a case of if you can only afford Monreal or can put that extra .2 to really good use then get him. If not, Bellerin is the better choice
Fair enough. Cheers.
I think Bellerin is worth the 0.2 over Monreal.
When are people planning on using the Triple captain, all out attack and bench boost?
Might be using AOA this week!
AOA used. Other 2 possibly around double game weeks.
Triple DGW if another one comes bench boost and AOA chip I think is not really the biggest advantage but I think after my second wc
AOA this week! 🙂
AOA this week probably
I for some reason think that Man U will concede to WBA, but cant get myself not to play an UTD player in the community champion thing.
how is your team shaping up? 🙂
Well at the moment i have narrowed it down to this
DDG Hart
Sagna Otamendi Smalling Clyne Monreal Rojo
Mahrez Willian Sterling Payet Redmond Ozil Sanchez GYLFI
RONNEY Giroud Lukaku Gomis BentekeAdd Barkley there aswell. Check Jonty's goal imminent (?) table.
Bony and Ighalo also
They have Bony and i will most likely tripple on City assets, so would go 2 defenders and sterling.
I would triple ManU defence for sure. Remember that you need to win scouts more than 16 points margin so lots of differentials is needed and take risks.
Yea look at the players i am trying to get, most of the players are differentials.
Best of luck, mate. Though I hope you don't beat my 16-point lead. 🙂
Haha, cheers mate. I do hope i at least equal a 16 point win! 😀
The community have been quite predictable recently, you just need the right differentials. 🙂
Yea, look at the next page just posted my potential team at the moment
Yes, just saw it. Many differentials in there. Good luck. 🙂
Cheers mate!
Is ozil's price expected to rise this week?
Wayne Rooney: can anyone point me in the right direction for killer stats on Rooney this season vs previous seasons?
You should be able to find this in the members area using the comparison tool
Alright, if Bellerin does miss the weekend, I am in a lot of trouble.
Myhill
Bellerin* - Darmian* - Williams - Muniesa* - Targett*
Sanchez - KdB - Mane - Mahrez - Westwood
Costa - Kane - Vardy
1FT, 1 mil in the bank
I do have the AOA chip remaining and could come handy for damage reduction this week.
Also, which defences do you think are the way to go now onwards?
Any replies appreciated. Cheers. 🙂
Doos, if you're around - saw carroll started at the weekend due to sakho injury, do you think he will nail down a first team spot if he stays fit? lots of competition for places.
Can see a few Cresswell assists if he does
This
No, and Sakho is better in the air anyway.
After the last match, he may not even make the bench ...thanks
Moreno or schlupp in this week to stay for longterm?
Moreno... also simpson is worth a look for 3.9
Looking to bring them both soon aswell.
just got Simpson at 3.9 for Richards... gives me an extra 0.6 ITB
Moreno for the long term
a)Keep Myhill
b)Replace him with?B. DDG
Are Souare and Ward nailed on for CPL when fit?
Yes
They should be. Ward definitely is.
Definitely eyeing up Ward myself for when I need Aguero money. Hopefully he can be the Ward of 2 seasons ago.
Aye, I think hes nailed on in my WC team
Yes.
