We delve into the members’ data tonight and assess some of the key statistics from the Gameweek gone by. Stoke and Leicester’s weekend goal heroes arrive on our radar, whilst we also analyse Chelsea’s lack of end product, Aaron Ramsey’s central midfield display and the relentless displays of Watford’s top scorer.
BJ blah blah blah.
In years gone by I would have taken hits for Kane and Sturridge last week.
I'm having a really good season, and I'm sure it's 50% membership and 50% discipline.
20% membership, 80% own decisions imo.
Ramsey (c)?
Go on then.
Tempting
- Christmas Cracker
Name your best differential over the Xmas schedule?
Theo Walcott. 1.5% ownership.
Can't beat that.
he's in the same category as Aguero and injurridge.
Not sure about that.
Injurridge....love it!
Do you have to own them?
No, although i will be getting Walcott this week. Can just be someone you think will score really well, but don't necessarily have the funds/spare transfer to fit him in
Will he start though? And what about his injury record?
That's the tiny gamble i guess, his start. Don't think he's in the category of Sturridge/Aguero at all. With Ramsey perma-CM now, Walcott looks first choice at RW, and was first choice striker before injury.
Firmino will be one
Well you just ruined that! 😡
silva
I'd agree, Walcott, or Giroud, or even Bolasie. Alli is a good bet too.
Wijnaldum ... he's got amazing stats and still flying under the radar. He'll be frustrating to own, of course, but the upside is that Newcastle have great fixtures and they're looking ever so slightly better now.
If newcastle played at home every week I'd love to own him.
7% and rising
Newcastle have terrible fixtures.
He HAS been frustrating to own.
Planned very early on to get him for Norwich, but Kun's injury changed plans. 25 pts.
Since getting him in, I've played him for 2,3,2 and benched him for 6,14.
Painful!
Eriksen at around 3%
Wait, no it's around 6.8. Does that still count? Mostly dead teams I'd expect.
I'll accept
Zarate
5.3
0.9% ownership
Arnautovic 2.2%
The Wij
Ramsey. 2.7% ownership.
You answered your own question. If Damian hadn't gone and done his hammy I'd have brought him in this week.
(Ramsey)
*Walcott!
If he stars, I think Perez could do well, however i won't be getting him, since I don't think he will outscore the likes of Lukaku and Giroud.
shawcross ,completely ignored....
Not completely.
I bought him for a hit 2 weeks ago and he repaid me by being sent off for a good clean tackle. 🙁
And then I benched him for his clean sheet against Man City this week. 🙁
But he could still be a good choice if Stoke keep returning regular clean sheets. 🙂
Christian Eriksen. 6.8% ownership.
Benteke
Bolasie, Moreno and Silva all @ 5%, that'll do me
Has to be Ramsey
Studge. If he actually plays!
Silva and Deulofoeu
Looking for it to be Delle Alli with a meagre 3.3 %
Same, I think this will be huge
Baines 2.5%
too expensive for a player that doesn't have penalty duties anymore
Rambo
Theo
He'll likely be my captain this week.Also, 10/10 to whoever named this hot topic 🙂
LINGARD
Sigurdsson, new management should revitalise him
Theo burned me twice already this season and we're not even halfway through. Not going there again. Giroud is playing alright too, can't see Wally getting that much gametime.
Butland
Rose - Bellerin - Moreno
Ozil - Silva - Firmino- Mahrez
Kane - Lukaku - Ighalo
Subs: Henessey, Zouma, Gosling, Simpson
Got 6.4mill in the bank, who should I replace Ighalo with next week? Also looking to do Firmino -> Coutinho next week.Hey guys, team is:
Butland
Bellerin - Coleman - Alderweireld
Mahrez - Ozil - KDB - Hazard
Kane - Sturridge - Lukaku
__________________________
McCarthy: Alli, Simpson, Oxford 1FT, 0.7 ITB
1. You reckon i should just play Alli & bench Sturridge in a 3-5-2 for this week?
2. Hazard > Ramsey for free
3. Hazard & Sturridge both out for a hit?
Any help would be greatly appreciated here after a couple of miserable gameweeks. Thanks 🙂
You will need to get rid of Sturridge to make sure you have at least 13 strong playing players during Xmas period.
haha i know, what i'm wondering is whats best to do? or from the three options i've given 🙂
2
Who fancies a punt on Sterling?
Euro seems a lot stronger
It's not.
booooooooo
You?
Could be a good differential on the likes of KDB.
I thinking of it
With a front 3 of:
Aguero Vardy Ighalo
Should I just dump Aguero for one of Lukaku/Kane?
yes
if ruled out but Swansea at home too juicy to jump the gun
Play De gea or Hennessey this week?
Tough one. I still think De Gea, Southampton could bounce back.
Is there a link to the scout cast audio cut yet?
They don't release it until thur
Give them a chance....:)
Usually Thursday. You could load the YouTube one up too and just tab to a different screen 🙂Haha was a long shot! Thanks I'll give that a try.
You can convert it to audio yourself.
Do their faces offend you that much?
Hazard Ozil Mahrez Mane Barkley
How would you best use a FT here?1.8 itb to work with
Hazard to KDB or Silva
Save it
Mane to anyone, Ramsey is my preferred option.
What to do with Coutinho? any news?
hoping he doesn't get trotted out in the 80th and get 10 minutes to pull me 1 point...
I'm hoping he gets a 25 minute run out in their Europa League clash on Thursday
Ramsey or Ozil?
Ozil, he's in form right now.
Best Rojo replacement?
Spurs def if you don't own, Baggies def if you can bench them this week
I have Azpi, VVD, Simpson and Evans.
Toby over Moreno?
Smalling
Darmian. Joking, what about Dann, Moreno or Alderweireld?
Darmian, no, Smalling, no wait, Phil Jones
Ha. Looks like we all did the same joke.
Moreno.
@mulli777 Lifes like a box of chocolate you never no wat your going to get" wat aload of bullsh*t if you buy a box of maltesers ur getin matlesers lad
The spelling makes this tweet complete.The "lad" makes it what it is
plus the selection boxes come with menus
Best Sturridge replacement? Lukaku and Kane my other strikers.
Zarate if you want a punt.
West Ham look a bit lost without Payet.
Ighalo or Vardy still
None of their pundits are as bad as Hoddle. Ignoring his indiscretions prior to his media career (it's so hard not to go there) he said the other day that, "Chelsea always get out of the group stages of the Champions League".
Yeah apart from that time three years ago in 2012 Glenn.
#GlennOut
He makes me cry
Anybody here involved in the CafeCup? Seems the organiser's gone AWOL?!
Aguero likely to drop tonight? I bloody hope not!
He might just survive the night
Nope
World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has been stripped of his IBF title
Source?
Why
Forcing him to fight mandatory who isnt klit
And he refused
Didn't really refuse - Klit had a contract clause
IBF dont want him as champ. Maybe its because of what Fury said
Not at all - it's the IBF rules and Fury's team failed to strike a deal with Glazkov's team (e.g. to fight him later, financial compensation etc)
He signed for the rematch before checking he could.
Back to pretending to tarmac drives
I don't really understand boxing when it comes to this kind of thing but surely it seems odd that a man who won a title less that a month ago is stripped of it? It also seems odd that fighters can refuse fights..
Politics. Could even be that IBF want their belt to stand out and have a single champ owning their belt rather than Fury owning all belts and diluting their organisation with the others
good. dude made a stupid comment and then proceeded to shove his own foot in his mouth until he could lick his kneecap.
Shame it's not all of them, read about some of the things he's said to the media after the win and he sounds like a horrible ignorant person.
Disappointed he's up for a SPOTY award.
So if the FPL gods continue their tirade of wrath against me and Coutinho and Aguero don't feature this week, are:
A) Dawson (liv), Janmaat (tot) or Drinkwater (CHE) decent cover?
B) Take a -4 to drop Aguero > Ighalo
C) Take a -4 to drop Coutinho > Walcott
Stekelenburg
Kosc, Delaney (palace CB) , Alderweireld
Ozil, Mahrez, Ayew, De Bruyne
Kane, Lukaku, Ighalo
what would you guys do with a FT and 2.3 in the bank for this team?
Who would you captain:
Ighalo
Mahrez
Vardy
Ozil
KDB
Aguero (considering he plays)I'm going with Ozil this weekend.
Think it's possible LVG is just playing a little gamesmanship here? Casting doubt over his back line to entice teams into not just sitting back?
Every league game I've seen this season, teams sit back against United and try to counter hoping for a 0-0 draw or 1-0 result on a counter. It's part of the reason they can't. Teams are parking the bus vs United.
I've had a rough night, lost my club chess match and our unbeaten team lost against awful opposition. Massive rank hit inc. (it happens in chess as well as FPL too!)
Anyone want to give me some advice with my team to take my mind off it?
Myhill
Kolarov Bellerin Moreno
Mane Ozil Mahrez De Bruyne
Lukaku Vardy Igahlo
Subs: Sanchez*, Rojo*, Martin*
2.3 iTB
2FT
Sanchez to either Eriksen or Alli seems a good bet, and who to switch Rojo for?Casual chess players 🙄
Sanchez to Alli
Rojo to Aldinothing casual about it 😉
Those transfers seem decent. Lots of money tied up in defence though.... and who would I bench? 🙁Bellerin, Arsenal have been leaking goals recently.
Why would you be worrying about too much cash in defence. The suggested moves are putting sn extra 0.2 into defence & you would have over 8m in bank.
Casual answer. 🙂
Sanchez to Bolasie? Rojo to Alderweireld.
What opening did you play and what was the counter ?
i played the sicilian defence, and the guy played a completely insane, all out attack response that I just failed to defend against.
Always a problem when they go off book. Sicilian is a little bit open to that as well.
Queens Indian all the way for me.
whats ur grading AZ.. i wonder who the best chess player is on ffs. im ecf 183 or fide 2035
Impressive, 158 ecf was my highest. Nowadays I avoid Sicilian because it is so easy for opponents with engine opening preps to take you out of book in very sharp positions where you will not be able to assess accurately below GM level.
You are forgetting the first rule about Chess Club
7.8, nailed on striker in a top 4 side with title hopes.
Plays 90mins whenever he is fit, scored tonight.
Plays: Bournemouth (A), Norwich (H), Stoke (A), Chelsea (H) and Swansea (H).
Might even get him now for Kun for a hit. Sooo tempted...
Good luck with that
Yeah I'm also considering him
the suspense is killing me, who is it!?
who is he?
Martial
striker in a top 4 side with title hopes?
No way not with so many better options
Martial?
The hit will cancel out one of the two goals he'll score in those 5 games. One shot on target per game or whatever it is.
Hey everyone, how are we?
sad 🙁
Super
I guess it's safe to say Darmian won't be playing this weekend. Who to replace him with?
a) Moreno
b) Alderweireld
c) someone else, who?
B
b
Cheers. B it is.
WC Activated and oh man oh man oh man oh man...... It feels good.
Lucky man
🙁3 of my bench are now dream team players..
Great rank.
Thanks TM 🙂
nice!
you can just copy my team if you'd like 😛All except Hazard 😉
please also ignore McCarthy, Sinclair, Richardsa and Williams
Any easy to spot weaknesses here? what needs changing?
DDG, Myhill
Kolarov, Bellerin, Bertrand, Francis, Nyom
Mahrez, Deolefeu, KDB, Ozil, Wanyama
Kane, Lukaku, Vardy
£3.5 in the bank and 2 free transfersI'd like a more solid 4th midfielder in there. Can count on Mahrez, KDB, and Ozil. Deolefeu or Wanyama are a little dodgy as a 4th.
