Paul Our first members article of the week analyses a number of key statistics from the previous round of fixtures. We cast an eye over Tottenham, Newcastle and Man City’s midfield and strikers and also assess Watford’s out-of-sorts attack as the Hornets struggle for a cutting edge.
Who to captain out of these 4?
A. Aguero back on form
B. Lakaku has been doing great this season
C. Ighilo I can see he maybe get one goal
D. PVA and a risky one as I don't normally captain defenders but has been good last 3 and got goals
Discount C and D immediately!
Read A then think about what you wrote 😉
A or B, go with your guts
gotta be D mate
Would like that very much!
Best shots stopper in the world for me, second best overall keeper after Neuer, hope he stays in the prem until retirement
Or he just got Madrid to pay him more money
he will go to Madrid sooner or later unfortunately
Do you really believe what a footballer has to say? Bale's, Suarez's etc comments before left. They even signed contracts.. (!)
They just can't say no to RM and Barca.
At the time Spurs and Liverpool weren't as easily capable of returning to the forefront of world football as United are now (once we part ways with LVG) so it's not really a like for like comparison.
On what planet are Man United returning to the forefront of world football? iirc, Bale left Spurs after finishing in the top 4 and Suarez left Pool after finishing 2nd. Both were at a better level than United are now, easily.
Bale: Spurs weren't playing European football when they finished top 4, so fewer distractions, plus Levy likes to sell the value assets. It's not unusual to think Bale didn't think Spurs would ever match his ambition (and he was right).
Liverpool: Finished 2nd due mostly to him, without any CL distractions and didn't have a stellar squad at the time, so much like Bale, it's not unusual to think that he didn't believe they would match his ambition (and he was right).
United: With as little hubris as possible, United has more money than both clubs combined, and it's only a matter of time, not an if statement. Whether that's another 2-3 years or next year with the right management is the question.
Also I said capable, not that United are well on their way. There are still a lot of things to fix at the club, as high up as the boardroom.
RP
Is Mirallas going to get starts now do we reckon?
Always a rotation risk with him, but can see him start, highly considering him for my FT this week
Opinions highly appreciated
A) VvD + Giroud > Jags+ Lukaku
B) Mane + Giroud > Firmino + Lukaku
C) VvD + Mane + Giroud > Jags + Firmino + Lukaka (-4)
I still appreciate the no replies 😀
Too hard basket.
You obviously want to do the forward transfer.
Gets down to which Sot player/s you want to lose.
Would you do VvD to Jags for a hit? If not, rule out C)
Thanks for your reply TM, I am leaning towards B as I do not think ManUtd would score many if any actually. I have De Gea, so might hope for a 0-0
why get rid of giroud?
Chaps
Do you think I should be looking to dump Yaya? Only got 21 mins at the weekend and worried he won't start vs West Ham.
He will start against WHU imo
He'll start but I would still dump.
How come?
Better options although he does have Sunderland week after.
Plus city been poor away.
Fancy Barkley given his next two fixtures... Thoughts
Keep him 🙂
My team for this coming GW:
Butland
Simpson Toby Smith
Mahrez KDB Alli Ozil
Lukaku Kun(c) Kane
Henny|Gosling|Bellerin|Dann
2FT
0.4 ITB
Dann I think should go? I can do a stright swap for Baines but that's maybe not the best idea for future investments in midfield, espeially with so many decent cheap defensive options..
Use my 2 FT or do 1 and have 2 again for next GW?
do one and I do not see the appeal of Baines, at that price I expect set-pieces 😉
Given first leg results and current form who do you think will make it to C1C finals?
Everton and Liverpool
Merseyside Derby
Man City and Stoke
🙂
Liverpool and Everton
Pool v Stoke (1-0): Toss up really. Pool are very up/down and have been unconvincing. I'd give a very small edge to Pool at home to go thru, but a 2-0 stoke win would not surprise me in the least.
City v Everton (1-2): With Aguero getting back in form, I give the edge to City. Everton's defending is woeful lately.
So by my reckoning, we will have City, Pool, Everton and Newcastle with DGW's
Cheers
+1
Will lukaku or ighalo drop by tomorrow? I'm going in for surgery today and won't be able to make any transfers before the Friday price Chang. Should I just do ighalo to lukaku now? Thanks guys.
dont think lukaku will mate - madness if he does
-25% on fplstats. Chance he drops before the weekend. I agree it's madness though. Good for owners.
Get well soon, do your transfers and go ahead
Thanks heaps guys I might just go ahead and do it now. Goodluck for the weekend.
I have precise funds and 1FT is it wort doing this?
Mahrez > Barkley
Front 7 are:
Ozil, Mahrez, KDB, Payet
Kane, Aguero, Lukaku
I would if no defence surgery required
hmmm well i have souare and nyom which prob could do with getting out - have funds to do Nyom > Jagielka?
who are the the rest of ur Def and GK ?
Butland - Hennessey
Nyom, Williams, Souare, Simpson, Cresswell
hmmm, your defence are facing touch oppositions, but I might risk it and get Barkley
ok mate appreciate your replies
Evertons defence too bad to justify his attacking threat imo
Go for it
I know pens is his biggest factor but Charlie Daniels has only put in 3 crosses in the last two GWs. That's pretty poor.
But can he get 18 pointers?
An anomoly.
and people forget he is a BOU defender, they wont get a clean sheet or a pen every week. I think people will play him again this weekend, get disappointed and he will be stuck on their bench for a long time to complain about his benched points haul when he gets them in like 6 GWs time 😀
Yeah my interest in him has cooled substantially. I don't think he's a bad option, I just don't think he's the 'new baines' people are hoping.
BOU's defence is surprisingly good, 4 cs in the last 8
As a Sunderland fan. This disgruntles me.
As a Sunderland fan, I'd love to know your opinion on Mr. Bruce?
Fat geordie w@nker
Great, good to know.
just as an fyi Palace fans think the same.
What do Palace fans think of their GK situation?
It's a strange one. Speroni shouldn't get another game now and will probably join the coaching staff next year. He only got a 1 year extension because he triggered a contract clause. Maybe when we're safe. But then Pardew does throw a curve-ball at times.
Henn should get one more game, if Pardew is consistent with McCarthy. But my only reasoning that he might get more is that we just tried to ship McCarthy off to qpr on loan with Green going the other way. That tells me he's not happy with McCarthy just yet but also wanting green means maybe Henn could be for the chop. Long answer saying nothing. Basically if Pardew is consistent Henn should get 1 more game to prove himself then McCarthy will come in if he doesn't. Have to remember at the beginning of the season Pardew was saying McCarthy was better than Henn and could become an England keeper.
But regardless, until we sign a striker or get Sako and Yala fit Cabaye will probably still play further up field and we'll probably still concede goals. It's when Yohan plays cdm that we are tight at the back.
That's Oggy, one to mull over then and see how the chips lie.
Not p1ssed at me for making you explode? (Not in a good way).
Only a little bit, at least I got a good death scene unlike those shot off camera.
he's 4.5 so im not complaining
Fair point. I'd rather have him in my team over ward that's for sure. Just not willing to use a FT to make it happen.
Pick one player to buy for this week
Firmino (nor)
Barkley (SWA)
both capable of blanking or scoring big - pick and hope
In that case Liverpool bias will set in
firmino stats last 4 matches are decent - chances created, chances from open play, goal attempts. not shabby
Close call.barkley possibly.
Got to say I'm interested in Firmino. Don't think I'll end up getting him though.
I plan do do Kolarov to Jagielka this GW. Is Jagielka a good option??
Yes
Hen rudd
Simpson bellerin Toby Smith azpi
Ozil mahrez alli payet Watson
Lukaku aguero kane
Baines or barkley to improve this team.
Have funds to do any transfer for free.
Which would be better.
DDG
Ivanovic Williams Huth Daniels
Siggy Oscar Frimino Alli
Aguero (c) Costa
Think this is what I'll be entering the battlefield with.
Night
interesting formation
not ideal but injury dictates 442
Surely someone better than Williams you can play?
Gareth barry but im gambling that Swansea pull off a shock result, Everton will have one eye on semi final afterall
Wow, ok yeah play Williams. Why on earth do you have Gareth Barry?
cheap nailed low owned and dw
Wow, lots of differentials! Good luck!
its on purpose, miles off the pace so mixing it up
Put Williams on the bench, he'll get subbed on no doubt and get everyone jammy points.
#bitter
Is Costa fit now?
think so but no confirmation
Is a 4-3-3 right for this lot this week?
Butland (lei)
Moreno (nor) - Bellerin (CHE) - Dier (cry) - Dawson (AVL)
Alli (cry) - Ozil (CHE) - Silva (whu)
Lukaku [c] (SWA) - Aguero (whu) - Ighalo (NEW)
Myhill (AVL) - Ramsey (CHE) - Francis (sun) - Payet (MCI)
1FT 0.8m
If I didn't know the value of keeping it for a DGW, this would be a prime time to use Bench Boost.
That's a strong bench.would play payet .
payet over dier/bellerin
This
Payet over Moreno or Bellerin IMO
Chappy Chaps - am I good to go? Appreciate the feedback
Butland
Moreno - Toby - Sagna
Payet - Ali - Ozil - Silva
Aguero - Lukaku - Kane
Bench:
McCarthy - Mahrez - Williams - Simpson
Next transfer will probably be Mccarthy out or maybe ship Sagna for ballerin / baines?
Good to go. Would have Simpson before Williams, in case Sagna doesn't play.
And Baines, if/when you can.
thanks, changed! Also noted about baines, ta
This is killing me lads, so advice would be appreciated!
Should I do Kane ➡ Aguero for free this GW?
or
Save my FT this GW and do Ighalo & KDB ➡ Aguero & MID 7.3m or under next GW?
The latter IMO
former
save, Kane could easily outscore kun
I agree with this but most will say do it. I've asked
I think I'm going to save my FT cos I'd rather have Kane in my team than Ighalo for the forseeable.
Would hate to trade out KDB before Sunderland game!!
Yeah but it's away from home and he sucks away from home regardless of weather it's Sunderland or not. I'd rather have Aguero than KDB and in order to get Aguero I need to get rid of KDB to fund it.
I'm thinking of trading Ozil instead
Hmmmm I donno about that
Thanks guys
Keep Kane!
Take a hit and do the latter this week? If you're considering shipping ozil instead then I'd go with that option. I'm guessing your other forward is Lukaku? I'd ship lukaku over both kane and iggy
Pick 2 to bench ?
A Moreno (nor)
B Kosc (CHE)
C Nyom (NEW)
D Simpson (STK)
E Ward (TOT)
d,e
This ^
Not sure if be putting any faith in Watford players at the moment.
Didn't mean to sound like a pirate there.
Is opting for barkly over payet an advisable thing to do over the next 4 gw? There's potential of dgw for EVE and also with spare funds i can get someone like jagielka instead of delaney. Thoughts?
If just get Payet tbh.
Cresswell > Targett??
yay or nay?
NAY!
I'm considering it. It's a lot of cash to free up !!
i wouldnt wanna lose Creswell, good fixtures after this week including gw27 when youll need all th epoints you can get
Let me qualify my response. As a simple equation, no. If it is for cash reasons then perhaps depending on who you want it for. In the end if it will make the game more enjoyable for you then do it!
I so want Defoe for the home game against Bou. But, I can not justify shipping out Ighalo, Kun and Kane with their fixtures. Bugga!
Just thinking back to last seasons DGW's, who all did you have and which was you most successful?
GW28 TOT, QPR: Rose, Kane(C), Austin
Not bad, Rose, if I recall, got an assist in the first DGW match which got the community excited; only to blank and get a YC in the second
GW31: AVL, QPR: Austin(C), Benteke, Phillips
This was my best showing. 42 for Austin, 24 from Tekkers and Phillips had 18 i believe? He had a cracking goal in the 3-3 draw between the two.
GW34: CHE, LEI, LIV, HUL: Hazard(C), Ivan, Vardy, Cambiasso, Schuulp, Sterling, Skrtel
Awful. Hazard had two blanks, Pool didn't score a goal and couldn't keep a CS vs Hull. Only attacking returns were a Vardy goal and a Cambiasso assit. Goes to show you more DGW players does not always equal more points.
GW37: ARS, SUN: Sanchez(C), Cazorla, Kos, Panti
No goals, but Panti got 2 CS, 2 Save points and 4 BAPS total.
i seem to remember Rose only played one of them
Ahh yeah your right sorry, bad memory. I knew the community got riled up about something.
i remember cos there were so many posts worried about rotation and in the end davies to rose (or the other way round) was the only change
Hull 2/2 CS's
Yep, they had the best showing
Was this when Dawson scored vs pool? I remember owning him for that
I got feck all from any of them. Backed Spurs, nobody, Chelsea, Arsenal and had nada to show for it.
Fplstatistics or fantasy football fix ? First has targett at 100% to rise, later at 77%.
Which do we trust ?
Targett seems a cheeky way to free up funds.
fpl usually pretty good for risers but think wildcards might be messing with their algorithims
based on Fiso we're expecting to see 12 risers in an hour??
Outdated source for price changes.
The 2012/13 season called. It wants its price prediction site back. 🙂
I like fplstats way better
absolutely, been largely correct this season
Anybody watch West Brom regularly and know what's happened to them defensively? I've always relied on having one or two Pulis defenders in my team but it hasn't been working out this year
Elliot
Bellerin Toby Baines
Mahrez Ozil Payet KDB
Lukaku Kun Kane
Hennessy Gosling Nyom R. Bennett
1FT 0.4ITB
Any suggestions on what to do? Save?
Playing the correct players?
Baines back on pens ?
Nay.....lukaku
Shame.
I'm 0.1 short of cresswell to Baines. But 2 ft means I'd spend it if he had the pens.
Some set pieces, corners yes, just not pens.
Cheers. I'll sleep on it.
No pressing transfers, so anything I do is tinkering.
Not as far as I know.
Kane: anyone else pls, best way to bring him in? thnx
1.-4 KDB>7.9 (Alli, Firmino,Wij,Barkley, other)...Vardy > kane
2.-4 Kolarov>Wollsheid...Bellerin> 4.7 (Targett,or Other)
3.-4 Vardy>Kane...KDB>Yaya...Bellerin>5.2 (Jags, Walker or Other)
4.Keep Vardy
2
not sure I'd want to be getting rid of KDB
Evening gents
Am I G2G? Advice appreciated
DDG
Dawson Bertrand Dier (Simpson) (Targett)
Kdb Mahrez Arnie Payet (Surman)
Lukaku Aguero Kane
Any news on Kolarov? Just about to pull the trigger on Baines before the price fall. Any reason not to?
Best Def to b ring in for Kolarov?
1.Walker 5.2
2.Jags 5.1
3.Targett 3.7 (huge risj w/ rotation, but lots of cash itb)
4.Wollsheid
5.williams
6.Other
current def:
bellerin - ward - dawson - Rose
Jags
thnx is it because of the fixtures?
