Our first members article of the week takes a delve into the Gameweek 25 data this evening. We assess the improvement from Chelsea and Man United’s lone strikers, analyse the Swansea midfield battle for our attentions and look for reasons behind the downturn in output from West Ham and Watford’s talismen.
Kun to Costa for free?
Costa have a strong chance of outscoring this GW, after which BLANK for Kun. Reverse transfer before GW 29 before City's 2 home games.
I'm considering this, but would lose money and will want him back for double gameweek at least
Just seen the west ham liverpool fa cup highlights. Payet looked threatening. Assist, key chances created and hit the post from a free kick. Worth hanging onto for this week at least, hey?
I'll try to keep him till I use my WC to plan using BB.
Could you share the link you watched?
14 Feb City vs spurs(PL)
21 Feb Chelsea vs city(FA cup)
24 Feb Dynamo Kiev vs City(CL)
28 Feb Livp vs City(League cup final)
2 March Livp vs city(PL)
Nice.
Not.Yeah arsenal and spurs don't have it too easy either, only leicester have the league to focus all theur attention on
COSTA Protagonist! 😀
Right starting 11?
Likely to save ft, so next week I can lose Arnie and gain Vardy for following gw.
Gomes
Dann Moreno Cresswell Daniels
Ozil Alli Mahrez(vc)
Ighalo Aguero(C) Kane
Schmeichel Payet Koscienly Arnie
1ft 0.7itbIt's actually like this

I ll play with payet one more week
Stoke is in very bad form
Moreno is uselessYeah Moreno is last on my bench and Payet playing over Arnie.
Thx
Does Anybody Really Know how to pick a team in this group?
Bench order correct?
Butland
Dann Sagna Azpi
Mahrez Barkley Payet Özil
Vardy Valencia Agüero
Bench: Cech, Alli, Toby , Huth
Please guys help me out!!! Thank you.
I would have Czech and Azpi
I have Azpi.
Think you have it correct.
My players got 2g + 1a in yesterday's game. If only this was fpl...
Can someone enlighten me.
Why is everyone saying Spurs are a solid side at the back? 2 CS's in 7 doesn't suggest so.
Agreed. They always let that one goal in.
I'm expecting them to concede but not more than 2 goals-fewest goal conceded this season
-fewest BC conceded
-2nd after Ars for goals conceded inside box
Use your member, Spidy...Thanks.
Yea Nick just linked me to a table on the last page. Guess I was looking in the wrong place.
I hope you're not serious about that Spidy comment 😉oh, thought you were wearing a Spidy mask?
Deapool, Christina. Deadpool.
http://gph.is/1UaR9Wri've never heard of him...reminds me of my mother in law...
Haha!
But also, thanks for the clarification 🙂
In terms of goals conceded they're solid. Problem for us FPL managers is they don't keep clean sheets that often.
So talking about them in terms of the City game you could say that they'll keep Aguero quiet. But at the same time they may not keep a clean sheet.
This Kun -> Costa bandwagon is even worse than that small Paloschi wagon last week 😀
Ship Kane, Lukaku, Gru, Ighalo instead.
Kun can get into a scoring spree (but not gw27 of course).
In the other hand City was humiliated against leicester
Costa is a proven BPL striker in great form with great fixtures.
Paloshi ticks none of those boxes, and had only played 45 minutes of PL football when the "wagon" was present.
I seriously dreamt about Costa last night and he got sent off with 2 others for fighting. I should have not had so many pancakes after every coming in from the Liverpool game.
Absolutely it isnt. Its not even comparable.
Last week it was Ozil->Sanchez and Lukaku -> Vardy 😉
Anybody have the injury info on Dawson.
Big Rom captain this gw?
Depends on Dawson
You guys sucks
Why?
Any Spuds on?
Don't think Kane uses this site
Ha! 😉
This forum is quite good if you want some info
http://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com/Knowledgeable fans in sbnation unlike the normal fan forums 🙂
Cheers, Eden. 🙂
Smalling & Ayew out
Firmino & Cedric in
2 FT
Yes or no?No point getting Firmino in this week I don't think, blanks the week after.
Firmino no
My subs will form 11 players
Smalling>VVD
thanks
The thing is my first rival in my mini league have firmino and will probably caprain him
Wait, Firminho has a blank coming up.
Do we think Targett will get a start this weekend?
Big question, we will have to wait to know i think
maybe Friday we'll know more
Yep
No one knows. I would say probably.
1FT. Moreno to Fonte now to avoid the price drop or wait a week and save the transfer?
Ill do it
+ moreno blank in gw27
+ fonte is sure to play gw 30+ fonte's obvious form
Well if I don't do it this week I'll do it next week. So should I wait?
At least wait until frriday
Do it.
Gw 27 scares me. No Mahrez or Vardy and can't get either of them unless Man City lose in FA cup.
Come on NorwichNorwich lol
Mate - Carroll to Vardy & Silva to Mahrez - you'll still have £ ITB
Thanks for looking but not losing Carroll with those fixtures. Already done Silva to Sanchez.
What would you do with this team? Thanks in advance
Hennessey - Butland
Wimmer - Alder - Bellerin - Simpson - Targett
Sanchez - Mahrez - Firmino - Payet - Stanislas
Lukaku - kane - agueroThe team seems solid
Although i dont like much wimmer + alderyou dont, but i love it, last 2 weeks paid of, and im dropping one this week
Play Alder/Bellerin/Targett (Wimmer, Simpson)
Bench Stan (although that might not work out well)
If you intending to make a transfer, and I personally wouldn't, I'd ship either Alder or Bellerin for VVD. Now there's a contentious suggestion.
DDG Hennessey
Alder VVD Cresswell Wolly Simpson
Mahrez Payet firminho Alli Ozil
Kun Kane Ighalo
1FT 0.0itb
1. Help me who to bench
Hennessey - Simpson - Alder - Alli? Don't like benching Spurs so any other reasonable alternative?
2. Save ft? Or use it somewhere1 a doubt about benching alli ... Maybe ighalo instead but hard to say
2 save
Not sure whether Payet to Anotnio last week was a good choice now...
You've just made it so much worse for me 🙁
Will very likely do Kun to Costa for free.
Kun- 2 tough games + BLANK
Costa - 3 easier games
Surely Costa will outscore although we will lose money on Kun.I think I'm with you.
Kun will most likely drop 0.1 or 0.2 due to the blankWill he? Most will bench
Usually, highly owned players with blanks will drop 0.1. At least they did last season
I don't think people will sell
God morning guys ! 😀
Rudd
Fuchs Akderweireld Bellerin
Payet Özil Mahrez Firmino
Aguero Kane Ighalo
Bench ; Butland, Alli, Nyom and Target
ITB: 1.6 1 FT
What would you recommend to do ? Daniels for Nyom ?
Regards from Norway 😉
save FT
this.
? 🙂
save transfer
I got Daniels in this GW.
'Gary Neville's Valencia'
No, it's just Valencia.
according to media it's Gary Neville CF
I am pretty happy how people have accepted the idea of Kun > Costa! All heil the mighty Costa punt
Brave!
Was it your idea? Started thinking about it after watching the Scoutcast 😀
Well i mentioned it 2 days ago and then Christina and Rupert said they were thinking the same.
Cant take all the credit 🙂 But, in all honesty bar no injuries i will be bringing him in and hoping CHe loses to MCI in the FA cup.Aye, I think I might too. He seems a pretty safe bet for the next four and a standout captaincy option this week.
Exactly, it will be worth it. If MCI win against CHE in the FA Cup we also have a CHE game in GW 30
Indeed 🙂
Even if Chelsea do lose it'll be a good opportunity to do Costa -> Kun since he'll have a gameExactly right, just waiting on DGW news with Kun and when some of the suppliers come back.
So what happens when Chelsea sub him on 65 for PSG game and then you gotta use a transfer to get kun back
What happens if he scores a brace before that sub ? Not planning on bringing Kun back until DGW news.
Costa a good option I just wouldn't be losing kun for him. Liverpool away doesn't worry me at all
Well no one was worried when they had LIV at home, look how that ended.
It will be City's 3rd game in 7 days when they play liverpool....
24 Feb Dynamo Kiev vs City(CL)
28 Feb Livp vs City(League cup final)
2 March Livp vs city(PL)That too. They will also play City twice in 4 days.
It's not about that though, it's whether it's worth 2 precious transfers. Imo it's not
Of course it's about that. We are playing to maximise points and rest/injuries/fixtures/blanks/form all need to be considered.
In any case I have 2 FT's.In any case you have 1 more FT than i do. With 2 FT this is a very very sensible move in my eyes at least. Maximizing points is the best thing to do, i will be bringing in Costa this GW and saving a FT hopefully next GW.
Everyone gonna struggle for 11 in 30. I'd hate to have to use a transfer to get kun back if he has a blank in 30
If he has a blank in GW 30 that would be absolutely perfect scenario for me. Means Costa plays in GW 30.
It's not like Liverpool aren't in the same situation. Probably worse actually as it's Europa league so Thursday.
And it's MigloletShhh Chilly.
Well yea, but they will play with Benteke and Ibe. I really do not see them fielding top 11. While MCI has to due to being CL
I think they'll play mostly first XI. It's the only way of getting into CL
Fair point, but i really do not think they have the strength to win it. I really do not. But, then again its a bystander saying this, its not like im in the club since they do think they could, like every other club.
I do think they will play a few players from first 11, but not everyone.
I'm not convinced by dropping Aguero but I can see why people want Costa this week.
Well i wanted to write a separate post about something like this, but guess i wont.
I do think that generally people are just too scared of Kun's potential and would rather have that "cozy" feeling having him if he explodes than looking at other options. Kun will have limited supply next GW or even 2 (not saying other players are bad, but just not Silva and KDB, granted Silva didnt play well lately).
Its the fear of dropping Kun that is preventing people from doing so, he has a blank TOT and LIV who does show up for big games as we have seen. They will have a few players recovered by then. Next 3 weeks is the perfect time to ship Kun and asses.By asses you mean buy. Villa Norwich without kun would be batsh*t crazy
Makes absolute sense to buy you are right.
I've had a look at what my team might look like in GW30 and while I don't know who I want in I know I'm going to need every transfer I can get.
Costa will probably outscore Aguero over the next 3, especially with the blank but I know I'll want him back and my team value isn't great so I'll save the transfer personally #boringThat is a rational thing to do as well, but my team for GW 30 will be comprised of 6-8 players max. I really do not want to bring players like Arni / Mane / Wijnaldum in for that gw and screw everything up. I will take GW 30 on the chin and see what comes up. I do hope MCI wins vs CHE so i have 2 more players involved in COsta and Ivanovic. That would be absolutely stunning for me.
Rather have 6-7 decentish players on gw 30 than a lot of wasteful players that i have to ship anyways, and i do not want to wc in gw 31 to rectify that honestly.1. Thanks for the mention...
2.I know you still have those balloons...behind you(think i wouldn't notice the subtle shift of the chair hey?)
😉The chair didn't move but the balloons did. They were to the left of me behind the curtain 😉
They're back behind the TV now!
Just have both. I've had Aguero and Kun together since Hiddink took over.
I think i will ship Aguero and Kun for Diego and Costa this gw 😀
I am not planning to ship Vardy / Kane at the moment.lol
Get Sergio for the triple up 😆
Oh dear. Back to sleep for me.
Should I play AOA? Or play Bellerin and bench Alli or someone else?
Hennessey (Elliot)
Daniels-Wolli (Bellerin, Simpson, Targett)
Sanchez-Ozil-Alli-Payet-Mahrez
Lukaku-Kun-Vardy
Thanks!No one?
I'd go AOA there. Its a rubbish chip but adds a bit of interest.
I wonder how many people have done well from there AOA?
Play Alli or Arnautovic ?
Alli. He's on top form.
Neither
Why not play Alli?
Oops I read bench not play
then who to play?
have Payet Mahrez Barkley
Lukaku Kane AgueroTough call. I would bench Barkley out of that lot.
I hate Costa and can't bring myself to put him in no matter how decent those fixtures are
He will get a red card any day
2 FT's -
A) Aguero & Bellerin --> Costa and VVD
B) Walker --> VVD
C) Bellerin --> VVD
D) Walker/Bellerin --> another 5.6 or underB
Forgot to mention I also own Koscielny...still recommend B?
I would still sell Walker.
'ey up
You speak Yorkshire? Impressive
Studied it and everything
Can't believe I'm 0.1 short of doing Dawson -> Fonte/VVD
It's new-found rage for me.Have you got Simpson? Or a Leicester defender?
Get in Daniels?
Cedric?
Good move too
If you think he's nailed on now then Cedric could be the best of the bunch
Cedric Soares.
Should i bench one of
Bellerin/Moreno/Toby and get in Azpi/VVD this week or save and get Simpson next week for free along with Vardy.Save. Leicester Norwich looks v tasty
Get rid of Moreno...
Latter
