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.
Hi Guys
lloris at 5.4 worth a shout isn't he. Cheapest way into Spurs defense and they seem like they have tightened up
I'd never spend more than 4.5 on a goalkeeper, but that's just me.
He definitely is worth a shout. Especially if you are satisfied with the rest of your team.
splash out extra .2 for walker
If I wasn't to go Cazorla as my 3rd mid, who else would you go for? 7.6 available and have Hazard, Firmino, Antonio and Capoue as my other mids.
Losing Caz would mean no Arsenal cover in my 15.
Snodgrass and splash the cash elsewhere. I am keeping an eye on Walcott as well as Caz though.
Probably lallana, or a cheapie and spread the cash?
I honestly don't have much elsewhere to spread the cash;
WC Team;
Foster / Jaku
Baines / Valencia / Stones / Friend / Amat
Hazard / Firmino, Cazorla / Antonio / Cap
Aguero / Lukaku / Benteke
Haven't got enough for Ibra, if I downgrade Caz to say Redmond or Snodgrass - then I could upgrade a GK but I never want to spend on GK. Not sure when I can utilise the cash?
No need to look any further than Cazorla with those fixtures coming up
So next week i could conceivably take a -8 and get the following.
Foster/Jaku
Walker/Valencia/Friend/Amat/Collins
Sanchez/Antonio/Bolasie/Snoddy/Capoe
Lukaku/Kun/Ibra
0.1 ITB
Thoughts please?WC? Big hits rarely work.
Ay, thinking about it but the only other move id make would be getting Collins outta there. Decisions decisons! This seasons shaping up to be quite the mindf*ck isnt it
What would your transfers be?
Haz Sterling Diamonde out for Kun Snodgrass Capoue
When I post a team with no Hazard everybody told me that's a mistake. When I dropped Alexis/Ozil everyone said that I need a Gunner. Last week showed that they're replaceble but maybe that was only one of those weeks and they will now get hauls but that is impossible to go with all big hitters but:
Kun - it's Kun
Ibra - great run + ownership
Hazard - a must have
Gunner - must have + those fixtures
Liverpool - must have
Antonio - great form and plays in mid finally
plus now Costa on form plus Lukaku haul
So which players are must have and which can be replaceble?
for egs. Hazard --> Willian gives fiunds to fill a lot of big hitters and I’m going towards this solution as Kun, Ibra, Gunner is essensial imo.No one is a must have apart from Aguero and maybe Ibra IMO.
No gunner has done anything to show to me they're a must yet, even with those fixtures.
I don't think any player apart from Aguero is a must have.
Lots of good options this year at the moment and you can't have them all so it's up to you as an individual to pick who you like and see how you can balance it.
Chelsea's fixtures turn. Ditch them if you want.
Seems like you've already decided mate:) U just can't have them all, not having Hazard is not the worst thing surely, I also think that Ozil is gonna go bananas soon
Only Aguero isikely to be a must have, and I might not even get him back til gw8. Other than that theres a ton of great options.
Opinions on Iheanacho(C) this GW? Surely Lukaku will troll this gw
good choice if you plan on WC next week as Ichean will be dropped once Aguero is back
That's the plan mate
Yeah I'm thinking the same
Was thinking the same, but is there a worry over minutes?
I wouldn't expect so. He acquitted himself well against Manchester United.
Thanks Clump
form who?
*from*
no other strikers at the club reallyJust because he got subbed off at Manchester United. I guess Nolito or Sterling could play false 9? KDB the furthest forward Man City player too.
Cheers guys
Front 8 of
Hazard l Payet l Ozil l sterling l Capoue
Lukaku l benteke l Zaza
Drop Ozil for cazorla before he rises?
Need a whopping 6 mil for Zaza > kun gw8Gw6 ozil + sterling > caz + Firmino
Gw8 Payet + Zaza > snoddy + kun?
Or gw6 haz > 4.5 + Zaza > kun, play Capoue
My brain is fried, please help chaps
Help please! - where to shave 0.3m off this WC team?
Foster / Pickford
Williams / Valencia / Holebas / Dawson / Amat
Hazard / Firmino / Antonio / Capoue / Marney
Kun / Zlatan / LukakuDawson to Evans.
Sorry that's Michael Dawson - Hull
Not a popular option but does Foster to Mandanda make 0.3 available?
Not quite - 0.2, good suggestion though
I guess it could only be possible if you gain anything from a price rise. You know the other option.
Dawson > Kingsley?
Which dawson is that?
Is Dawson 5.0? Wow get rid
M Dawson 4.4
Honestly think u need to lose a big hitter or kaku, team looks very weak.
Go Kingsley for now, lukaku will be a 7.5 at some point... Ighalo, tekkers, bony etc
Then you can upgrade kingsleyFood for thought cheers.
Dawson ----> Evans saves .5
just saw that was Michael Dawson -- what is he doing there. he's hurt for at least another month!
and then he will need to get match fit and work his way back into the lineup.
Foster to Heaton
Marney to De RoonAlmost, saves 0.2m
thinking of going hazardless for a few weeks as his fixtures seem to be tougher than arsenal and liverpool
so hows this look
heaton pickford/jaku
baines valencia holebas evans amat
cazorla mane/firmino antonia snodgrass capoue
aguero lukaku ibra
no 1 heavy hitter in midfield though
I could upgrade cazorla to ozil and downgrade snodgrass to 4.5m fodder and play capoue as 4th mid
Sound thinking, toying with same idea myself. Donæt knowe about Capoue + 4.5 combo - not a lot of flexibility with shifting midfield players
The ⛈ has cleared. The
Dafuchs
Bolasie to start vs Boro ?? Barkley starting to look like the next Jack Wilshere
Yes of course.
tempting
If Gundogan comes in, who drops out of Silva/KDB/Fernandinho from the midfield?
Didn't Sané also start? Guessing he would first candidate
I could be completely off but I guess it could be Fernandinho.
Sterling
important for city fans but not in fpl scenario
It maybe important for FPL as well.
Fernandinho no way the likes of KDB,Silva or Nolito get dropped.
I would have thought that he would rotate with Fernandinho but if not, then in at CM for either Silva/KDB which seems less likely...
Start
A Foster + Evans (Double WBA)
B Foster + Collins
TyThink I've changed my mind on having Cazorla - how about this for a WC team;
Cech / Jaku
Walker / Valencia / Stones / Friend / Amat
Hazard / Firmino / Antonio / Redmond / Capoue
Aguero / Lukaku / Benteke
(No Ibra is my plan)yeah I spose, could do better than Redmond though
Who?
OK - but too expensive in defence at this stage. Redmond has to deliver soon, I'd get Snodgrass. And I do believe Ibra is worth the price for now
I should still stick with Foster then?
If Redmond does well this weekend it will be tough for him to get rid of. Anyway, I think now there is no point me worrying about the Cazorla rise at least.
Needs baines and Redmond > bolasie imo
Too heavy on Everton. Could do Stones > Baines or Walker > Baines, but I think City will start hitting CS now.
Should I save my FT?
1 FT £0.3 ITB
Heaton
Baines - Valencia - PVA
Hazard - Sanchez - Firmino - Bolasie
Zlatan - Zaza - Lukaku
Subs: Pickford | Capoue | Amat | Love
Anyone else persevering with Januzaj?
nah, too many other options at the price range that are flying
stuck with him for some time ... clearing out will depend on further transfer scenario
Will hold for the Spurs game then re-evaluate.
So I've used my WC this week and this is my team, please have a look if you can.
Heaton / Mandanda
Stones / Williams / Masuaku / Smith / Amat
Sanchez / Hazard / Antonio / Bolasie / Rodwell
Benteke / Zlatan / Lukaku
ITB 1.0
I might take out Hazard and put in De Bruyne just for this week and then will do De Bruyne > Lallana and Lukaku > Kun. Any advice would be appreciated, cheers 🙂Like it, go De Bruyne
Downgrade Masuaku - West Ham won't keep celan sheet's and attacking points will not make it up imho. Not sold on Stones either, go with Shaw/Valencia instead.
Liking the KDB plan though, think it will pay back
Following WC draft possible going with Sanchez over Haz for a few GW's:
Heaton/foster - Pickford
Shaw - Evans - Friend - Holebas - Amat
Sanchez - Firmino - Antonio - Snodgrass - Capoue
Aguero - Ibra - Benteke
Anything not to like here? Price rises tomorrow might topple it though
Defense looks poor, rest is fine!
Yes - but then not much points to be had in any defense so far!
Sanchez to Carzola allows a big Snoddy upgrade & Firmino to Mane (Who looks potentially as explosive as Sanchez this year).
True - £8.4 for upgrade of Snoddy then. Double up Firmino/Mané perhaps?
Its ok except I would ditch Snodgrass to a 4.5 for now since you won't start him ahead of Capoue until at least GW8.
You can use that 1m to get Baines in over a 4.5 def. Or Sanchez + Benteke to Haz + LukakuI have this:
Heaton, Pickford
Valencia, Williams, Evans, Holebas, Amat
Hazard, Firmino, Antonio, Capoue, Rodwell
Aguero, Ibra, Lukaku
in GW8 can drop Haz/Ibra or someone else and upgrade Rodwell if you don't want Capoue to continue as 4th midBeen pondering that, yes. Or upgrade Firmino to Mané. But means restructuring midfield at some point
Prefer Firmino to Mane. Restructure is just 2 transfers. Most transfers are in pairs anyway. It's rare to swap players of the same price I think
Mane to Nolito/Silva/Alli as a FT?
Worth?You wot
No way.
why would you sell mane?
cause I don't have any City and Spurs coverage for this GW
you must have better options than mane
Liverpool are scoring well and against an aging Chelsea defence who may have the wandering Brazilian in there
yip that does read mane to Nolito/Silva/Alli as a FT?
Mane was the first name on my WC. Even captained him last week.
I made he mistake of putting Nolito in my WC squad for 2 GW's till Kun got back stick go with Mane or Eriksen.
no no no
I have 13 other slots to ruin without needing to ruin kun and ibra spots
Drop Townsend or Barkley for Antonio?
Guys, I am an experienced fantasy players, always got onto the top. but this year is extremely hard in my opinion. I ve got my own league and tbh not doing so well right now, so I used my wildcard. But for obv reasons Aguero is not there. Right now I ve got De bruyne in midfield, so I dont think I am ever going to pick Aguero in my team, I think his prone to injuries is a danger - and Ikeanacho is rising. But people talk about Ibra IN and Hazard IN. I dont have them either.
my team:
heaton
walker baines stones
de bruyne antonio eriksen firmino
benteke lukaku kane
ps i was thinking to change eriksen to bolasie, and invest maybe in position instead of benteke.
what do you think lads? Hazard-Ibra-Aguero LESS.. any chance?A chance, totally. The question mark is KDB for that money or Hazard, I'd think.
Since Klopp joined, Roberto Firmino has been the most productive player in the PL. (Minimum 900 mins).
Check out this podcast.. around minute 45 mins:
https://www.acast.com/theanfieldindex/aiunderpressurepodcast-liverpool4leicester1statsanalysisWould your priority be to get Firmino in or Antonio?
Hey, stop telling everyone! 😉
Say that when Mané plays 900mins under Klopp 😉
This time next season we could see Mane being the one...
In any case that notion is what my transfer next week will be based upon.did you just listen to that Under Pressure AI podcast??
i only read the first half of that comment before replying....never mind me!
AI is best podcasts, my favourite!I love AI!
Chose two to play next GW:
Tadic, Lamela, CazorlaTadic, Cazorla since Lamela game time is questionable
LOL @ Insert pun here.

*Posts RMT of a WC with Cech in goal
😆Hey don't be mean, maybe he/she works for the Daily Mail
Rondon, Ighalo or Zaza to score best over the season?
Iggy
The West Ham game got him back to scoring ways?
Seem more attacking this year too, mainly don't rate th other two as viable options
I just don't really know anything about Zaza.
Me neither tbh, precisely why I avoided. Decent stats but that's 50/50 whether it translates to the premier league, gets worse, or better. Iggy is proven
Iggy for me
Cheers.
Got to agree with those above, Iggy for me.
Cool. Thank you.
1) best 6m midfielder (have 6.3m)
a) cazorla and this 6m midfielder
or
b) ozil and 4.5m midOzil 4.5 for me if its capoue. Otherwise Caz and bolasie
well i have capoue so it would be 4.5m bench fodder and capoue 4th mid
putting it like that, it does sound better with caz and bolasie/snodgrass and rotate them with capoue
Man City vs Bournemouth
Spurs vs Sunderland
0 players from City and Spurs 😎Palms sweaty, knees weak arms heavy yet?
Tbh only have Stones myself. Might get in Alli
Only Nolito here.
Fail....
Selling Mkhi this week. Most likely for Mané but a Nolito 1/2 GW punt is in my thoughts
I will most likely sell Nolito for Mane after Bou.
Even though Man City look great it's hard to justify having any of their attackers. All mids are rotation risks except maybe KDB who's quite expensive and not great when Aguero is back
Got Lamela, Stones, Iheanacho.
Here is to hoping Lamela plays...Is KDB captainable this week, with Aguero out? I figure if I have him...
Yeah I think so
Definately
Hi everyone, I need help in fpl draft game...
I have only one, maybe two spots for Mkhitaryan, Rashford or Sane. Who is most valuable for keeping? Please sort from 1 to 3.In order- Mikh, Sane, Rashford (still think his minutes will be limited)
Either this or Sané first.
Mikh edges it because I think Jose will give him another chance and he's quality, albeit injured right now
The question mark with Lucas Perez is whether he plays on the flank with Giroud if he's not himself the lone striker. This seem likely?
Comsidering the upcoming schedule...
Valencia > Baines?It's definitely not a bad move.
Like it!
Nah not for me.
Can see United keeping two clean sheets over the next 3. Plus better attacking threat (other than baines' pens ofc). Would love to have both of them tbh.
I would find another way to get Baines in, Man Utd will keep clean sheets. The city match will only make Mourinho more defensive imo, could see Herrera starting alongside Fellaini and Pogba
no
