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.
Always good having 2FT's, but nothing to me really stands out with this lot.
Who to play?
Who to sell?
Happy with the front 8, so comes down to this lot:
0.6ITB
Myhill (AVL) or Rudd (LIV)
Dier(cry), Moreno(nor), Konscielny(CHE), JEvans(AVL), Ward(TOT)
any help would be appreciated, thanksCrazy as it seems given the fixture, this could be the moment to sell Myhill. If he loses his place in a week or two you may not have the luxury of a FT then to fix the situation.
Agree, figure I play him knowing that Rudd can come on to give me a point.
not point getting rid of him til he's definitely out.
Moreno with a possible DGW.
I think it would come down to Ward......Ah I just read that the wrong way. Thanks for the thought Diva.
Yeah. At least your second keeper is playing. It's not the end of the world if Myhill doesn't start.
ward and myhill →Daniels and Schmeichel/Forster/butland
Ranked near 500k!
This WC a good idea? May tweak a little but it's close...
Current team.
Myhill Henney
Bellerin, Toby, Zouma, Ward, Bertrand
KDB, Özil, Mahrez, Payet, Alli
Lukaku, Ighalo, Kane
WC to this...
Butland Elliot
Kosc, Toby, Jags, Daniels, Bertrand
Silva, Wijnaldum, Firmino, Payet, Alli
Lukaku, Aguero, Kanegood wc team but I wouldn't do it kun can wait one more week imo if hit needed
get another GK or KDB→Barkley/Firmino and next week Iggy→kunSwap Myhill before Avl? Or trade Henn?
Wise to sell KDB before Sund game? Or sell Ozil instead?Foster played today so myhill may be benched
I don't like KDB I did KDB→Payet this week .. KDB→ someone to free £ for kun next week . keep ozil till sanchez imoThanks dude. Seems to make sense.
You're missing Arsenal cover up front imo. Looks good for the BB chip. But I don't really think you need to wildcard. Loads of games left. I'd save this week and get Sergio next week.
Thanks for response. I'd like Özil but can't have them all AND my rank needs fixing so nothing to lose really.
I WCed last week btw 🙂
Haha... I am just thinking sooner over later as my team is semi template and a few out of form and now may be the time to strike.
,...and if/when Sanchez starts scoring?
Cross that bridge when I get to it.
Perhaps a downgrade of front three. Maybe Austin will come to the fore!
West ham are signing a FUT fave of mine.....Emenike on loan
The on loan family have supplied some great players.. he won't be among the best 😉
Oh no.. Ibarbo leaves but then he arrives
Has Baines taken any set pieces this season? is he on corners?
Some yes
Evening gents. Any of the benched players deserve a start? Thanks
Am I G2G?
DDG
Dawson Bertrand Dier (Simpson) (Targett)
Kdb Mahrez Arnie Payet (Surman)
Lukaku Aguero KaneLooking forward to the FFS Cups, so this means I'll probably be knocked out in the first round
Luck of the draw really.
Can I join?!
Entry closed.
51 wasn't enough.
What was the magic qualifying number Torres?
Still being worked out officially.
I worked out 68 and a good OR would be enough for both.Ah Bollox - no cup run for me then!
I just hope I draw someone I recognize.
And not jon123, or whatever..You'll recognize most members.
oooh errr
1) Wollscheid > Daniels?
2) Bench Ozil (CHE) for Stanislas (sun)?
De Gea (Hennessey)
Alderweireld Simpson Moreno (Bellerin Wollscheid)
KDB Mahrez Ozil Alli (Stanislas)
Kane Aguero Lukaku(c)I'd play Ozil over Stanislas
KDB→Payet?
ozil over stan. too imoMight wait to see the outcome of the C1C next week before dropping KDB. Want to get a clearer picture of upcoming blanks and DGWs.
fair point TDM .. I just hate 10.8 midf. with 2 points every week
Watching the FA Cup highlights and Dawson getting an assist for West Brom! You just know that means it'll be a 2 pointer on the weekend against Villa.
BBC4 is just great.
BBC4 HD is better 😉
TargettL anyone knows whats the setup is, how reliable is it for him to continue to start?!? 3.7 is just to much of a deal t ignore
as it stands, Tadic has been benched while he came in for Mane last game.
Pelle bench
fromt 6 has been:
Wanyama - JWP
Davis - Mane - Targett
LongWith Pelle back after injury and Austin signed that lineup will probably change a bit.
yep good pt. think ill go jags
This probably shouldn't be a question, but should I bench Stanislas or Payet? I know I should play Payet, but I'm starting to have doubts.
City are seemingly getting better in defence without Kompany, but Bournemouth are playing Sunderland. However Stanislas hasn't got an assist or goal in 7 games. Afobe might boost Stanislas' returns, but Bournemouth's goals seem to be spread out over many players. West Ham also seem to be giant slayers this season.
Someone please talk me out of this. Is this a classic "form over fixtures" or a great opportunity for a (stupid) punt?I've been seriously considering Stanislas over De Bruyne this week, due to the latter's awful away returns.
I wouldn't do it for Payet though.I'm waking Optimus or Jafooli up right now, so they can lock this thread immediately.
😀
Play Payet
Payet
bench payet (2 pts vs 3pts)
Pulis on 5Live: "Berahino hasn't been same player we've seen in recent seasons, looks like the inevitable (a transfer) will happen".
Anything on Foster/Myhill?
He said Pickford/Elliot rotation was the way forward
😆
Cheers IE x
Worst thing is some poor team will have to pay 10m + just because he's young and English
Missed out as he has a 'bug'. He'll be on his way this week.
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 defence: Bellerin - rose - dawson - wardKeepers?

Baines

thx
Dint like any defenders currently tbh. Such a let down.
Late night dream team. Who would you have in your all time favorite starting eleven? (only players you've actually watched)
Mine would be:
-----------------Buffon
------Thuram Nesta Maldini
---------------Xavi Pirlo
------Zidane Litmanen Nedved
-----------Henry Del PieroMessi, Ronaldo, Nesta, Maldini and 7 others
7 Payets?
Watched live in the flesh or on TV?
TV will do.
TV will do....in that case Brazilian Ronaldo is first name down!
Yeah he was great to watch. I just can't leave Henry or Alex out.
Yeboah
Yeboah Yeboah Yeboah Yeboah
Yeboah Yeboah Yeboah Yeboah
Yeboah Yeboah (c)Shoot shoot shoot tactic then I like it.
Fair play. You've seen some greats.
----------------Lehmann---------------
Lauren-Campbell-Koscielny-Cole
-------------Vieira-Gilberto------------
-------Ozil---Bergkamp--Sanchez--
------------------Henry-------------------subs: ljungberg , Pires and Lord Bendtner
Bendtner can f**k off.
lol
Subs: Seaman, Adams, Keown, Parlour, Cazorla, Ljungberg, Pires, Wright
Bergkamp was close to my list so brilliant to watch. You don't fancy Pires in there?
I did think of a 4-1-4-1 with Vieira deep lying but I don't think it'd work. Also with Pires you'd have to chuck Sanchez to the other wing. It could all work but it'd be a bit top heavy. Bring back the good old 2-3-5.
Probably so. I think Cech will be close to Lehmann when he's done.
Yup, oh how good it feels to have a properly good keeper again after all these years 🙂
Too many Chelsea & Spurs for my liking. 🙂
🙂 Whatever you thought of the moves at the time, they were two of the best English defenders of the the last 20 years
Purely in jest.
I will go with one's I've seen in the flesh
Schmeichel
Thuram McGrath Vidic
Laudrup Molby Brady LeTissier Gazza
Dalglish Henry3 Danes. lol
I'm a big Juve fan but sadly Laudrup was before my time.
Michael was unbelievable & I had the joy of watching Brian meek in week out... along with Gazza of course.
#longlivetheGers
I've heard Brady was fantastic. Probably the kind of player I would have enjoyed watching.

A goalscoring midfielder in the 80s Italian League. Rarity. Wonderful player.
------------Schmeichel-------------------
----Neville Adams Desailly------------

---------------Shearer---------------------Buffon
Agger , Maldini , Riise

Best Duo:
1.Jags + Simpson
2.5.5 Dier/Moreno/other + TargettBtw those thinking about the cup I had an email from mark earlier and he said they'd be sorting the cup out in the morning, so I guess we'll have an update sometime early tomorrow.
One more question before I go under, start bellerin, Simpson or nyom this weekend?
I'd them all .. Simpson if have to
go under!!*play
Bellerin
Cheers guyS
For this upcoming GW...
A. De Gea + Wollscheid
B. Butland + BellerinHey homies, I'd appreciate some opinions. Don't know where to start really...0.4 ITB 2FT
Perhaps Siggy-> Barkley? Thanks.
Butland (McC)
Bellerin Dawson Moreno (Francis, Simpson)
Ozil Mahrez KDB Siggy (Antonio)
Kun Kane VardyYep sounds good. Or Firmino/ Wij
Cool thanks. Not worth it to dismantle and get Lukaku?
No. Make it happen soon though but no hit.
Free up some funds in midfield and get Lukaku for Vardy IMO.
Yeah I was considering KDB out for Lukaku and whoever. Thanks.
Watford favourites to sign Andros Townsend. Thats bad news for iggy
Shoots and misses when he wants! Regardless of teammates.
Iggy on the decline anyway it seems.
why?
Townsend put the 'selfish' in 'selfish ****'
ah just like Mirallas
Except Mirallas knows how to score
Cos he'd shoot from a goal kick if he had the chance.
He'd shoot from a throw in
😀
this guy is worse than adnan januzai
anyone else pls, Best Def to bring in for Kolarov? thx
1.Walker 5.2 go double spurs
2.Jags 5.1
3.Targett 3.7 (huge risj w/ rotation, but lots of cash itb)
4.Wollsheid go double stk
current defence:
Butland - Henesy
Bellerin - rose - dawson - wardYou only just posted literally on this page.
If you didn't have Rose you could take a risk with Targett but more than one rotation risk is too much.
Daniels or Jags
thnx all. spound advice. rushing into a meeting, prob do baines or jag
Balders, did you see my FanZone idea?
no?
FIFFSA article beneath your reply to one of those no longer with us.
end of season awards malarky? I'd be up for that
[A] Simpson > Targett
[B] Wollschied > Targett
[C} Save my free transferGet a new transfer Targett
anyone going the extra mile for Baines, and sacrifice not having kane/?
Both? Got Baines in as on my wc.
Wouldnt drop kane with his fixtures, Im not even shifting him for Lukaku!
best trio pls? thnx need to close on this for eventually geting kane and dropping Kolarov tonite.
1.baines - yaya - 5.0 (moreno, wollsheid, other)
or
2.jags - kdb - 4.1 SimpsonHoly sh1t, give it a break!
One last bit of transfer gossip. Hiddink wants to sign Pelle -ESPN
IR we have no interest in Alexandre Lacazette ? or any strikers now?
IE 🙂
Season looks to be a write off. We will spend big in the summer. Klopp wants to give plenty of opportunity for the current players to prove themselves. Rodgers messed squad up
cheers
Hope we sign someone. Not seen any realistic rumours lately.
want L.Moura / A.lacazzett .... I'm dreaming
Remy is better than Pelle
So...
Kane + Kolarov -> Aguero + Daniels
or
Vardy + KDB -> Aguero+ Wij?B
hey guys what yall think of this for a wc team
A- ddg hennesey
targett dier moreno bellerin simpson
barkley silva ramsey payet stanny
kane kun lukaku..
OR
B moreno to baines
ramsey to hendo
targett to smithIs there any way to see who the RMT system consistently undervalues? Or go back over its predictions this season?
B'mouth's Smith for example; on RMT never gets over 2.5 usually with a bench flag yet he's scored 6pts, or over, 6 of the last 9 GWs.Pick 3 to play
A: Dier
B: Bertrand
C:Dawson
D: Simpson
E: Target
Currently on ABC...sounds decent?im playing Simpson
Agreed. ABC
