We delve into the members’ data this evening and assess the main performers from the weekend’s round of fixtures. Palace’s two-goal hero, Chelsea’s ever-improving defence, Watford’s front two and Sunderland’s raiding Dutchman all make the cut in light of their Gameweek 14 performances.
barkley
Go with the gamble - Haz
KDB?
Already go him!
Barkley then or Deulofeu
or double up on City and go Silva
Deulofeu what a talent. was on fire last night with , a fine solo goal and a triple step over assist.
May get him over BarkleyI have had him for 2 weeks and Barkley has ruined me.
and rightly so, it was the wrong opt
Captain Hindsight in the building.
One thing putting me off - he rarely gets 90 mins.
Still too early to tell but he does have potential
Think Barkley is worth the extra for set pieces and his shot outputI've had Barkley for a couple of weeks but now but I'm not sure he will maintain his form and can see Deulofeu outscoring him over the next few. I'm tempted to swap him for Deulofeu if I have no other pressing changes to make next with with my FT
dont be silly
Get both.
Barkley has killed me in ML's. Went Deulo when Payet got crocked. All he's got me FPL wise is an assist after Everton have scored 7 goals in 2 games.
Reminds me of a young Ronaldo at Man U. Lots of step-overs & not a great deal of output but Ronnie didn't do too bad in the long run. I got him after they'd scored 6 & still waiting for that big haul that he looks like he has in him.Heres hoping.
Waiting for him to transfer that form to the EPL.

Thanks lads. Will sort my defence then
Butland, Ruddy
Smalling, Rojo, Moreno, Bellerin, Oxford
Ozil, Mahrez, Coutinho, Barkley, KDB
Ighalo, Kane, Lukaku
I'm currently thinking of playing my AOA chip this week and benching Ruddy, Rojo, Moreno & Oxford
Thoughts?Makes sense. Unlikely to be a much better
Not a bad idea
Bench Mahrez
vs Swansea? Really?
Yes , his stats are regressing as are his returns
Mahrez not as good vs the top teams - there was a recent article about him and Vardy and the conclusion was that whilst Vardy is relatively fixture proof Mahrez struggles up against good opponents.
I have a feeling he'll have a good week vs Swansea and then I'm probably going to ditch him for his terrible run from GW16 - 19Okay then 🙂
Would wait on aoa chip
bench Mahrez or Ighalo IMO
vs Swansea and Norwich?
My current team
Hennessey de Gea
Moreno Kolarov Huth Bellerín Baker
Deulofeu De Bruyne Özil Mané Mahrez
Ighalo Vardy Agüero
Random question - do I take a -4 hit to remove baker for van dijk and play bench boost??No. wait to play bench boost especially if you're going to take a -4 to get a good enough team. ALso your defence will then be too expensive and it'll cost more hits later to get your team back in shape
Repost:
My team is getting a bit out of shape. Thinking about the following -8. Should I go ahead with it if Coutinho and Moreno come through tonights game ok? Would leave me 0.6 in the bank and struggling to do Vardy to Kane for next week (may need a -4 or -8) although not sure I want to anwyay.
Sanchez, Ayew, Dawson ---> KDB, Coutinho, Moreno
Schmeichel,
Kolarov, Azpi, Moreno
KDB, Ozil, Coutinho, Mahrez
Aguero, Lukaku, Vardy
Butland, Richards, Souare, SurmanAdding Moreno and Coutinho is fine, hold Ayew for this week. Next week, Ayew and Vardy out.
Jamie Vardy.
Purchase Price. 6.3
Current Price 7.5
Selling Price 6.9
Will Vardy's SP go upto 7.0 when he goes up to 7.6? I need it.*7.7
Nope
It always shocks me when regulars can't work out odd and even numbers.
Do I need to wildcard? (Since we have to use it by GW20 anyway)
Defence is in a mess.
**Begovic - **McCarthy(Crys)
Kolarov - Rose - Ake - **PhilJones(inj) - **S.Taylor(inj)
Ozil - DeBruyne - Coutinho - Mahrez - DarrenFletcher
Kane - Lukaku - Vardy
I just did Coutinho -> Sanchez.
I could be without a goalkeeper if Courtois comes straight into Chelsea XI.
McCarthy, PhilJones and S.Taylor are not starting.
Your comments please.Yes, go for it.
Can WC any time during the season - it doesn't need to be by GW20
I wouldn't at the moment. Good front line, same can be said about your midfield assuming you play 343 and a couple of weeks or a couple of hits can fix the defence.no you can't. Use it or lose it.
Exactamundo
Has to be used before GW20
Ermm you should have a look at the new rules
I really should! - retract post
thanks guys I would have had quite a shock!!!
Just made sure you use it for all the price rises, ie activate it Saturday and be active with the transfers.
Just don't use people you want to keep for these transfers with where oyu'll lose money due to resell price issues
- Aguero has previous with self diagnosis
How well can Aguero diagnose himself?
Myself and 1 other last night and Tim on the previous page have pointed out remembering that Aguero has self diagnosed on Twitter before to say he's fine only to miss the next match. I went digging.....
Here is Aguero Tweeting on 3rd May, 2014, that he was only taken off as a pre-caution:
https://twitter.com/aguerosergiokun/status/462687967031484417
Here is a picture taken from transfermarkt.ie which shows he did come off after 28 minutes that day (3rd May). Check what happened after he said it was just a precaution.....
http://imgur.com/B3V2h5TOnly 1 game? .....Perfect .....benches Aguero and plays Rojo 😎
#BenchingProblemSolvedMain difference here I suppose is there was less times between games
Ah... *benches Rojo*
I'm getting fed up with him.
Hope your lad had a cracking day yesterday, mate 🙂
Very good thanks...really good.
People like you are amazing. We also have a "miracle" 8 yr old. Didn't realize at the time of birth.
*5yr old
😳
Happy birthday Wakey Jr 🙂
I wouldn't count on him this weekend. They don't need him.
In fact, Bony may be a better matchup vs Shawcross and Stoke in general.
Pelle doesn't mind playing Kalechi either who scored and looked sharp yesterday with his runs
Delph has been playing well and will retain that role alongside Fernandinho.
Most importantly, Silva is back.
He won't get risked in my opinion.It's the usual FFS wishful thinking analysis at play here, whoever comments on it.
Pellegrini says he's hopeful that he'll play - So Aguero owners can be hopeful that he'll play, and that's about all there is to it.Yes, that's it, sow the seeds of doubt Andy... 🙂
I actually hope he does play....but does nothing 😉 Many who have him will captain him.
However, he scored a brace against Stoke last year away so as ever I remain fearful of Aguero as a non owner.I've been making transfers with a view of bringing him in for the Sunderland game, it gives me time to see if he's fit and in form while fixing the rest of my team without hits (Sanchez to Deulofeu this week, Bertrand to Moreno next, and finally Vardy to Aguero the week after once Leceister's fixtures turn worse).
Morning guys, happy with the squad at the moment. Ok for Saturday? Thoughts welcome. No FTs, 1.3m in the bank.
Butland
Alderweireld VVD Morgen
Coutinho Barkley Ozil KDB
Kane Ighalo (C) Lukaku
Bench: Ruddy, Sterling, Monreal, TargettMorgen = Moreno
Monreal first sub
How did Silva play last night? KdB managed to get two goals but his FPL stats arent something to shout about. Still KDB over Silva?
Silva was MoTM according to BBC
Well thats good to hear. Did he get any FPL assists?
i dIdn't see the game but found this
http://readmancity.com/2015/12/01/manchester-city-vs-hull-city-player-ratings/Hmmm thanks. KDB looks to have played a blinder
Anyone here watched Everton playing yesterday? How did Barkley play?
I heard it on the radio 😀 it sounded like he played deeper due to rotation last night with Osman playing behind Lukaku. That won't be the case in the league.
Question: Form over Fixtures or Fixtures over Form?
Excitiment over both 😎
So haz or barkley/cout 😉
Form over Fixtures seems to be the FFS consensus. I'm a fixtures man myself. I think good fixtures creates good form.
Same here.
Always the former
Form over fixtures.
That said, I'm considering hazard.which leads me to my next question; why the Hazard punt?
Last season I transferred in Benteke for the christmas period, his fixtures were brilliant, leading up to those fixtures Villa weren't playing well and Benteke's form wasn't good. However, i brought him in with the hope that he is a proven goal scorer, who knows how to find the back of the net, score a few goals and pick up form.
Well, he didn't score a single goal.
This, stops me from bringing in Hazard, who struggling to find any form, let alone goals.
IMO form/ stats is the main indicator but fixtures can swing the expectation by about 10-20%
Everyone talks a good game with regards to form over fixtures but when push comes to shove if you wave 3 or 4 dark blue fixtures in front of them they come running
Take Hazard for example....
I really need help understanding Sell Value. Can someone help.
+42
You get half of the profit. Say, cost price of the player was 6 and his selling price is 7, thats 1m profit, so we get only 0.5 of that value.
6.3 PP
7.5 CP
6.9 SP
Explain thisThe difference is 1.2. Half it. Add it on
If the CP increases by 0.1, how will it change things?
It will stay the same. But next time it'll go up
(Because half of 1.4 is 0.7)
don't sell vardy
This
All depends on Kane this GW. Been planning for Lu-Ka-Ku since a while for December. This is very my high value counts.
Easiest way to see it: you bought at an odd number.
Every rise/fall to an odd number = gain/lose value.
Every fall to an even number = no change.Every rise/fall to even number*.
Thats 1.2 profit on player, so you get half of that, which is 0.6m. 6.3 plus 0.6 equals 6.9m.
In short you can say, for every 0.2 rise, you get 0.1Purchase price is 6.3
Current price is 7.5
Difference is 1.2 (7.5 - 6.3)
Profit is 0.6 which is half the difference between PP and SP (1.2 / 2)
Selling price 6.9 which is purchase price plus profit (6.3 + 0.6)
SV = PP + (PP + TV)/2
Rounded down to lower no.just LOL
Why?
Oops
I got my mistake
*Note :
PP - Purchase Price
SV - Selling Value
TV - Transfer Value*(TV - PP)
You gain 0.1 in sell value for every 0.2 rise in market value. Simples.
For every 0.2 buy value increase, you get 0.1 sell value increase.
This is rounded down, so 0.3 buy value increase is 0.1 sell value increase.
Ie you buy Sanchez at 11.0.
BV 11.5 SV 11.2
BV 11.4 SV 11.2
BV 11.3 SV 11.1
BV 11.2 SV 11.1
BV 11.1 SV 11.0
BV 11.0 SV 11.0Every time your player rises 0.2 you make 0.1 when you sell him. In other words you get half the increase.
Eg you buy player for 5.0, sell for 5.4, you've made 0.2.
You buy a player for 5.0, sell for 5.5, you still get 0.2 profit because he'd need to be sold for 5.6 to make 0.3
Does that help? It's probably not the easiest way to explain it.If you buy for an odd number, you make profit every time they reach another odd number. If you bought at even, it's for even.
Much better guys. Thanks.
just click on transfers then data view. you can see it.
Did anyone see the City game yesterday? How did Sterling play?
Poor like always. Why is he on your team?
I heard he got an assist? And played only 30 minutes?
COMMUNITY PICKS HELP
Hi everyone, I won the lottery so I'm Community Pick Champion for this week! I think I have a pretty good team worked out but I would really appreciate your help and advice.
Stekelenburg
Alderweireld, van Dijk, Moreno
Özil, Willian, Mahrez, Bolasie, Barkley
Kane, Vardy, Lukaku
£0.0m ITB
My main concerns are that:
I have no Liverpool (New) or Southampton (AVL) forwards or midfielders.
I have no Watford (NOR) or Man City (Sto) players.
Willian may be forced to play more defensively against Bournemouth now that Ivanovic is back.
Mahrez has been less prolific in recent weeks - is he still on penalties?
Some players I'm currently considering (Mané, Bertrand; Ighalo, Nyom; Giroud, Walcott; KdB; A.Ayew; Azpilicueta, Zouma).You need differentials to beat them by 16 points margin. Get Giroud,Costa Deeney Silva etc.
Triple soton defence perhaps
If Sturridge is on the bench today, start him in your team. My thinking is to win the voucher, you need as much of an upside as possible which is why you need gambles. Willian, Ozil, Mahrez and Vardy both. I'm not exactly liking it.
this
353?
Cuz feck da rulez
Just realised this myself, well spotted! Good news is I have an extra 6m to invest now!
Kolarov is a good differential as FFS will pick Otamendi
Willian out, Mane in.
Kane out, Ighalo in.lose willian/bolassie....Kane even
look at Tekkers/Mane/Pele/Coutinho/HazardAs the current community champion I would
triple on chelsea defs
drop Mahrez Kane Bolasie OzilBOU could definitely score on Chelsea. Id back Southampton defense vs Villa any day.
Scouts pick very template right? And you need to beat them by 16 to get into the lead. So you have to go more non-template to win. Kane > Deeney, Barkley > Coutinho, Toby > Zouma Willian > Mane etc
Team is very standard. Dare I say template.
You should include a 2-3 differentials minimum if you want an actual shot at beating them by a significant margin (to win the prize)
Don't like the Leicester double up. Swansea is a great matchup defensively for Leicester.
Bolasie was so last week, look elsewhere.
Barkley? I think Lukaku will suffice.
Include one of Giroud/Walcott if we hear that he is fit later this week.
Consider Pelle as well. I have a feeling he will be nice and rested and ready to play this weekend.
Cedric over VVD too.Do you need to have 12 players?
I'd ditch Bolasie, Barkley and Willian. See tight games in CPL-EVE and in CHE-BOU. Chelsea will start at the back as they slowlycome back, 1-0 wins to begin with, imo. Lukaku is good enough.
I'd even ditch Ozil for Mane/Coutinho. Sunderland are going to be parking their biggest bus, and there's no Alexis or Cazorla.
Then upgrade Willian to Coutinho. If you need more cash downgrade VVD to a Watford defender, top value for this week.
One word.hazard.
...on second thoughts I don't think 3-5-3 is going to catch on. #Fail
I'll repost later once I've had a rethink!Un-hulked 😉
Flag the new one laterThanks Andy, sorry everyone!
I got picked and lost marvelously to them since i went with pure differentialville. Its either go big or go home to be honest. Thats how i took it and i went home 😀 I would lose Bolasie, Willian and go with some maverick picks
Just noticed that I fecked up bringing Silva in instead of KDB. KDB will do a hauler and Silva will be assister of an assister... Hate this season.
Maybe have both?
I have Aguero too...
Oh my god. Just logged into Telegraph FF. All my teams have Depay. Abort. Abort.
At least you did well two weeks ago. 😀
😀 December monthly prize here I come!
.....do they also have Walcott?
Some of them do, yes.
- New article
🙁
Wonder when the new post will be....
Any more for any more?
One FT left. Debruyne in for:
A) Sanchez
B) Ayew
C) Mane
D) No change required
I am waiting on Kompany for next GW to do a FT is he is still unfit.
Team is:
Mc Carthy (Myhill)
Moreno, Alderwield, Bellerin (Kompany, Richards)
Sanchez, Mahrez, Ozil, Mane (Ayew)
Ighalo (c), Aguero, Wardy
1.6 million in bankA. Sanchez
So I did this..... Mad or Shrewd.....
Coutinho>Hazard & Sanchez>Ozil
Cech (myhill)
Kol,clyne,smalling,(nyom,hange)
Ozil,Hazard,mahrez,de Bruyne(lingard)
Romelu,Studge,igahlo
Thoughts Appreciated.Who is a decent long term replacement for Sanchez?
A) Ozil
B) Silva(own KDB)
C) Coutinho/Firminio
D) Hazard
E) EriksenCould do with some decent advice lads
Currently languishing around 140 k overall
Looking for something different to give me a boost
That in mind should I do
A.Alexis to De bruyne
B Alexis to hazard (c )
I'm leaning towards B at the minute
Thoughts.GTG?
Cech
Simpson VVD Dann
Mahrez Bolasie KDB Ozil
Kane Vardy Lukaku
Bench (McCarthy, Sanchez, Wollscheid & Martin)
0.00 ITB & already on -4
A> Would you already get rid of Sanchez or wait for further updates?
B> Sanchez > Coutinho (Still not passed fit)?
C> Anything else that you would take a hit for?
What would be the Captain choice? KDB, Ozil or Lukaku?
Thank you in advance!Nice
8 years, 9 months ago
Hazard vs Barkey for Sanchez replacement (already have coutinho/ozil)
