We cast an eye over the members’ data now, assessing some of the top performers over Gameweek 4’s fixtures. Chelsea and Everton’s improving frontmen are assessed, as are West Ham and Man City’s standout weekend performers, whilst we also analyse a couple of new recruits at Goodison and the Bet365 ahead of some fine fixtures.
The "want them all - can´t have them all dilemma". Ibra, Kun, Costa, Luk, Kane, Haz, Alexis, Liv mid and so on...
My plan: Frontline transfer rotations
= Transfer in the GWs hottest (C) pick (if not already owned).
gw 5 Kane
gw 6 Got Mane so save FT
gw 7 Kane -> Ibra
gw 8 Ibra -> Kun
gw 9 Kun
No need to be static right? Sure, might have to take a hit here or there but hopefully not too many. Pricechanges might be an issue though...
Is this a good way to go about it? Rest of team ok. Just worried about not owning Kun some gws and Ibra others. Thoughts?
I like it, but I'm afraid you would lose a lot in your team value which can cause you don't afford your new captain in the long term.
Yeah and there is always some other issue as well. Gonna be my main strategy for the coming weeks though.
Have you used your WC?
I would try and pick the players you want to keep for the medium to long term. No doubt you'll have issues somewhere in your team and will have to use your FT there.No WC. But I´m happy with my team now. It´s just that I can´t have Kun and Ibra at the same time.
I don't like this idea of a plan at all. You will lose value, and you can't taking into account other injuries and loss in form.
Pick a team for the medium/long-term, not short-term.That's the clear downside but I think I'm gonna go ahead and do it (if something extraordinary doesn't happen). To gw 9-10 and then reevaluate.
I can see hits galore.
Not afraid of hits. Took a minus 20 this week... Worked out well.

Fixtures are plum bang on form and price is rising. Nothing really obvious about how I get there though. Any ideas?
A) Santi & Defoe -> Snoddy & Lukaku (-4)
B) Sanchez & Defoe -> Silva/Firm & Lukaku (-4)
C) Something else
D) Forget about Trolkaku
Cech
Baines, Valencia, Collins
Sanchez, Haz, Antonio, Santi
Ibra, Benteke, Defoe
Pickford, Capoue, Kone, Amat
Bank 0.0m, 1FT
hey Jinswick, probably would go with A even though I would want Sanchez...but you do have Santi.
sorry ,meant B
Would do B) with Firmino
Looks decent long term eh, but losing Sanchez before Hull could be eeeeeek
They kept ManU out. Sort of.
wc?
Very funny
?
The above is my WC team from last week 🙁
Sorry I didn't know that. what's your id?
B
Best 4.6 and under defender form these?
A) Holebas
B) Pieters
C) Collins
Cheers!A
A
A
A.
B & C are poor choices.Cheers
Best captain punt this GW before wild carding:
A) Özil -> (c)DB
B) Vardy -> Na(c)ho
C) Vardy -> (c)aneThinking C myself
Kane
C
C
Nacho
Cheers guys - thought A would be more popular. Leaning towards B really
B
C
kdb or hazard for next few gw
Captaining Baines this GW. Madness?
Yes
No but risky
You know the old Baines rule.
Never captain, never bench
Watched Karl Pilkington for the first time. Wow.
Dave to Walker
or
Barkley to Antonioantonio
Walker
Does anybody here connect their iphone to their tv? Not apple tv but a normal hd one.
I think you need Apple TV.
Apple TV is not an actual TV. Its a devise which lets you connect your apple product with any HD TV over a wifi connection. I use that and thats the only thing that works with an iphone.
not true, I can connect my iPhone to my TV using an android box.
Gtg?
Foster (Jaku)
Baines PvA Walker (Amat Kingsley)
Sanchez Ozil Hazard Firmino Redmond
Benteke Lu(C)aku (Diomande)
You have Sanchez and Ozil and you are captaining Lukaku?
GTG
mane or firminho..? firminho leading the stats.......
Firm
Firm and picket 0.5
Looking ahead....
Ozil & Kane > Cazorla & Aguero
Or
Lanzini & Kane > 4.5 & Aguero (Play Capoue as 4th Mid)B

Hi all. It pains me to see the points on the bench in 3 of the 4 weeks played so far.
I actually blame Capoue for this. Each week I have a quiet word with him and tell him he's benched and he can't believe what he is hearing.
Not a fan of using chips until double GW's but the All Out Attack comes into play in this GW and Capoue has been given the green light.
My other headache is allowing Lukaku to keep the armband or let him loan it to Ibra. Surely it owuld be criminal to strip him of the captaincy after his 11 minute heroics?
DannySave you AOA when Capoue has better fixtures or your defence is very weak.
I personally don't think a home tie against United gives Capoue any less chance of scoring if I'm honest. I think West Brom will concede to West Ham so it was a straight swap Capoue for McAuley.
I may change my mind as yet but it is my initial gut feeling
Anyone wish to pass comment on this rubbish 😉
253:
Heaton
Shaw, Walker
Hazard, Pogba, Mirallas, Redmond, Capoue
Ibra (c), Costa (vc), Benteke
Subs: Foster, McAuley, Friend, Amat
0 FT, 2.5 itb, WC used GW2
Take a hit or hold?Wouldn't use AoA to play Capoue tbh.
Dat midfield...
I know.
With that said, I'm on a good points total and position (223pts, 173k).
Save AOA play McAuley.
Pogba no good
people will tell you not to play AoA and bench Capoue but if you believe he will score again then go for it.
Surely WBA won't keep a CS at West Ham and every week people say Capoue won't keep scoring and yet he keeps scoring.
Anyone captaining any Arsenal attack?
Hull to park their bus at Arsenal?
Utd found it difficult to break through Hull and got a 1-0Captaining an Arsenal player is a good shout- feel they will score 2-3 goals
possibly...
Pva > walker worth a ft?
Probably but I'd rather save.
I honestly see 4 spurs cs in next 5 and possibly some walker attacking input
I own Walker and I see him being left out v Sunderland.
I would, the next fixture could be brutal
no
Spurs always rotate their fullbacks as soon as Champion's League starts, and it can be
quite a nuisance. i want no part of that.
What is the general perspective on Lallana on here? Can he be seen as a viable 3rd midfielder option to allow funding of Sanchez/Hazard etc. ?
Looks that way. Though he seems like Liverpools cazorla
Ahh but certainly more attack minded?
A lot more, yes.
He's abit risky at £7.1 but talking outside FPL has been immense for us on the pitch and usually has a blinder for (H) games at Anfield I'm thinking about bringing him in GW 6 with for Ozil (with returns to bring Aguero back)
Cheers
wouldn't have him over Antonio at the mo
Thinking about getting him alongside Antonio for my WC team
you don't want 2 in form players who are cheap, nailed on and have a decent run of fixtures why?
Not the ideal pick certainly seems viable if allows you to get your targets elsewhere.
yes, he can. he is playing very well.
he comes with a bit of rotation risk, however.
Hazard Mane Ozil Antonio
Ibra Lukaku Benteke
would you change anyone of these 8 for next GW? I need to start thinking of a way to get Aguero back....
Hazard to Alli?
Hi guys, any advice on what to do with this team before I use my WC on Friday after the Chelsea - Liverpool game. Midfield would look the obvious choice I presume but then the defence doesn't look great either.
Current team:
Courtois l Jakupovic
Shaw l Stones l Pieters l Friend l Amat
Hazard l Ozil l Redmond l Fer l Capoue
Ibra l Costa l Negredo
1 FT, 3.3 ITB.
just pick the 1 player u think will do best for this week only. i would go iheanacho but up to u
Kane/Nacho for a week.
Didn't actually consider Kane, that could be a great shout.
he still looks woeful for me but guess this might be week he gets confidence back
Well, looks like Cazorla is definitely rising before deadline.
Come on Augero, please drop!Dont get Cazorla. FKs, PKs, CKs and getting forward isn't enough for some it seems 🙂 As an Ozil owner I am considering dropping him for Caz.
Crazy why people wouldn't look at Caz - like you said, he's on all set-pieces and is getting forward more.
2 shots inside the box, both pens. 2 big chances, both pens. Heavily reliant on set pieces and he won't get a pen every 2GWs like he is at the current rate. Maybe a good option but I'd prefer to get proper advanced attackers personally.
I think Firmino will score points more than Ozil, I can't afford Sanchez and I'd rather have Cazorla than having no Arsenal attack.
Need to look at them as individual picks imo, not coverage from teams. Firmino and Antonio are better picks than Cazorla so I'd get them for example, no Arsenal attack doesn't mean anything.
But he could be a good pick yes, just not for me.
This ^ really want to akin to drop so I can squeeze him back in GW 6 alongside Lallana
Think I am going to have to do Foster to Heaton, or maybe Friend to a 4.4.
Unless Antonio rises and then I am really screwed.Antonio is going to rise before Friday at the rate he is rising.
Ozil, Lukaku --> Cazorla, Kane for a hit ?
too mad?a bit - not planning on dropping Lukaku right after scoring a hatrick
I really want Kane for this GW... maybe drop Ibra to Kane?
definitely.
Ozil > Caz is totally sideways.
Often in the prem teams bounce back from bad defeats. So Sunderland might do much better than expected. Then again, they might not.thanks Big.
Don't you think no Spurs coverage is risky for this GW?
what about Ibra to Kane or Hazard to Alli?Ibra and Hazard are not the weakest links in your team are they? They are two of most peoples bankers. So why get rid? What's the weakest link in your team?
Hazard Mane Ozil Antonio Capoue
Ibra Lukaku Benteke
that's the front 8... I really think Spurs will do well next 2 GW but not sure who to drop..That's good, no need to worry about Spurs because...you can't have em all.
Right... last question... whats the best way to get Aguero back in??
yes, too mad.
2 downgrades for a hit...
Guys,
When Kun is back:
A)
Santi l Antonio l Firmino l Capoue/Sond
Ibra l Kun l Lukaku
B)
Firmino l Antonio l Lamela l Sanchez
Kun l Lukaku l Benteke
Cheers !A
or in A) instead of Snod and Santi some other 2 for 14 mil
How can you afford A? What's your defence?
Foster + Valencia/Walker/McAuley
Actually yeah, now that I see there's no Sanchez/Hazard it's not unrealistic.
No Chelsea coverage? hmm....
Wanna sell Hazard to get A or Sanchez in B. I'm not a fan of Chelsea fixtures.
Members article made me so mad about going without Aguero.
So I put together a possible upside down WC team after this GW to get him in
Kun Ibra 6.5
Haz Firmino Antonio Bolaise Capoue
Valencia Shaw Williams Swansea 4.1 4.0
Foster / Pickford
Have a feeling you'll say defence is too weak. I guess Bolaise could be Snoddy to upgrade a 4.0 to a 4.5 in defence. Or Downgrade Shaw to 4.5 for an extra mil somewhere else...yes, defense. you don't want to go with 2 4's.
Bolasie to Snodgrass and upgrade one of them.
Was looking at Spurs vs Sunderland stats to back up the case for (K)ane. Thing that stood out was Eriksens record against Sunderland. Last 5 games = 5 goals and 2 assists for him.
Feels like this a really bad week to not have any Spurs. But this season how on earth do you cover it all!
Really enjoying it though! Tempted to go Özil -> Eriksen instead of Vardy -> Kane.
a long term one or a you wildcarding in 6?
No WC left. Want Ibra for gw 7 and Kun for 8 and going forward but can't have them both. I have what you might call an flexible approach. Simple thing to do is Kane this gw and then take it from there. No need to fiddle with my mids I guess.
What do I do this weekend? Evans (WHU) has the best fixture, but I also have Antonio.
Shall I be brave and choose one of Amat (sou) or Kone (tot) ahead of Evans as I don't have any attackers from Southampton or Spurs.Just play Evans and Antonio
Choose Amat but be the GW where he actually could get a cleanie away.
is mane worth the extra 0.5m over firmino
0.5 is so little difference I think you go with your gut and make the changes elsewhere. It's a small compromise on a defender if you really want 0.5 more for Mane.
Firmino for me tho
If I have .1 extra for my WC team, is it worth doing Shaw-> Valencia given that both are fit and set to start the next fixture?
Yes.
Really tempted to ring Eriksen for Ozil but it means I'd have to take a -4 hit in GW 6 to get Kun back good or bad idea?
Foster Heaton
Walker Baines Valencia Evans Amat
Hazard Firmino Antonio Cazorla Snodgrass
Aguero Lukaka Diomande
0.7ITB
How does that look? I'm just playing around with a WC after this gameweek.Or I could upgrade Lukaka to Ibra and downgrade two defenders
is that a 3-5-2 or a 3-4-3 or a 4-4-2....
3 x 5.5 in def and Antonio and Caz are where you can do some trimming. Snoddy too good for a 5th mid
