J0E It’s time for the first members article of the international break now, as we delve into the data from Gameweek 7.
Alexis Sanchez, Sergio Aguero and Zlatan Ibrahimovic come under analysis after their Gameweek 7 armband failures.
Paul Pogba’s improved displays without Wayne Rooney in the Man United XI and Nacer Chadli’s start to life at the Hawthorns are also assessed.
Am I really looking at a Amats fixtures soon and thinking of playing him?!
F u ck international break
Hulk this
Anyone considering downgrading Capoue to a cheaper option? I could do with the cash. I mean, he's forever rotting on my bench, I don't see myself benching Deeney for him.
And his dream run may finally be over...
Yes, but I dont have an extra FT to take him out.
^Same
All the time he is growing in value id keep
Just did the change, Capoue to Hojberg - used the money to upgrade, Rashford to Deeney, Mustafi to Koscielny and Francis to Smith.
I was never going to play him so dumped him
I nearly cashed in on him for my WC 2 GW's ago.
BUT, I knew full well I could sneak extra price rises out of him and at that point his form showed no signs of slowing. Will keep now until 2nd WC
Absolutely! , If he's resigned to always be a sub then no point in tying up those funds when you can get a 4.4/4.5 guaranteed starter. Money is def better spent in your 11!
Morning ladies. Selling Ibra is going to hurt.
If he doesn't drop more than 0.1, i might just keep him imo.
I felt nothing
depends who you'll get in his place and how you'll use that money
Madness to sell imo
Already did 🙁
2 GW's ago and very happy about that atm
🙁
This is why I listen to IM 😉
Why? He has the same amount of points than Leroy Fer.
For 11.5m he needs to be scoring 25 plus goals.
How many does Aguero need to be scoring then, costing 13m? Bare in mind Zlatan will nip in with assists too.
Slightly more than 25!
The difference is I can see Aguero getting that. Zlatan not so much. I got Costa for 2 mil cheaper than Zlatan and he is currently doing better,
Aguero is always an injury waiting to happen. If that occurs and Zlatan is getting points then it's an easy transfer to make.
Costa is the reason Zlatan is not such a great pick. While Aguero is n.1, Lukaku and Costa are pretty much up there with Ibra, so owning them for so much less is smarter imo.
With such a small sample size that is a stupid statement. Leroy Fer is also outscoring
Hazard
Payet
Mane
Ozil
Alli
Tadic
As for the goals I think he'll score 20+ goals this season so he stays for me
it's not a great statement, but his point that your money tied in the 11.5M+ player could have been better invested elsewhere over these 7 weeks is valid.
He is not currently offering value for money. Once he does, which he will at some point, it will give us none owners a problem but I haven't missed him these past few weeks. I value the points I have got in the last few weeks not the points I might get in a months time.
Never owned him.
Sold him 3 weeks ago for Lukaku... 1.8 saved and 14 points better off.. Can't say it hurt very much 😉
*2.8
Its the right move.
Finally sold, needed that £1.5m to invest elsewhere. Got Sanchez & Kun.
Is Diomande likely to keep his place in the Hull team now? Maloney a threat?
Some Please Help!
Which trio is likely to score more points from now until the end of the year????
A) Tekkers / Nyom / Heaton
B) Austin / Smith / Cech
Thanks
B imo
B
I like B, have a feeling they will score more
B
How does Williams->Lovren/Smith/Pieters + Antonio-> Son sound?
I'm keeping Williams. Think he'll come good.
Son could be gold. He's on fire.
Williams> Lovren
Antonio> Son
Wouldn't do Williams > Lovren personally
Just read post about price drpo/rise in case of Ibra or other players who lost their rise and back to oryginal price. Someone post that there is no worry that he will fall more than 0.1 ant because of that all Ibra, Hazard ect owners can wait but we forget about one simple thing - not only Ibra/Haz etc. drop is important but the rise of players that we want to get in their place too.
This is also true. You simply have to think whether you'll want those players back again in a few weeks.
I'd rather a FT than, say, 0.2 profit.
all depends on current squad, team value and you need some luck (injuries)
Toughs on Allen as 4. mid for few weeks?
Concidering this, so that I can bring Bellerin in. Then as soon as I can reorganise my team Ill be able to swap Allen or my 5. Mid (Carrick) for a better option.
Stoke got good fixtures, and if Allen continue to play nr. 10 role, he will keep gwtting returns?
Allen is a good option......Stoke have a great run of fixtures
Anyone been monitoring Benteke's price rise? reckon he'll rise 0.1 over the break? around 35% atm
Hope so. Can bank the .1 then when I sell for Deeney in a couple of weeks.
Which 2 to joing Amat on the bench lads?
Stones (EVE) Valencia (liv) Friend (WAT)
Bolsaie (mci) Capoue (mid)
It's hard to see Valencia keeping a clean sheet, though wouldn't rule out attacking returns.
Friend & Capoo
Tough one. Friend and Valencia maybe.
Friend and Bolasie. Play capoue !
Setting my team up long term.
Is Friend, Stones and Hazard to Walker, Mustafi and Son worth a -8?
Leaves me with
Heaton
Coleman Mustafi Walker
Sanchez Firmino Son Antonio Capoue
Aguero Costa
Jaku Diomande Amat Love
christ no
Spurs are going to have some bitter fixtures ahead!
Whybare everyone removing Friend now?
Is he crooked ? Have I missed something ?
For long term mayby. But it is a difficult one cause you have to do it soon if you are gonna afford it.
Your 3 players are all gonna lose value and the other 3 are gonna rise. That´s 0,6 value diff...
I took a - 8 to get De Bruyne in a couple of weeks ago as part of a long term plan. He repaid my faith with a haul and then got injured the same match. Long term would be a fine prospect if injuries and form didn't exist. I'm wary about taking hits for long term goals now.
Do you have a limit to how many hits you take per season? or do you take any?
Took a -8 myself so far, last season I took over -40 but I might try no hits from now till season end..
Heh, don't think so.
I daven't done a single one but during whole season I'll probably make 2-3 hits but only if forced.
*haven't
No limits I have a guy in my league who has made 50 transfers so far and played his WC....!! ridiculous stuff
I think any more than 20pts and you'll affect your OR adversely.
Hits always gamble.
I've taken two hits so far...and for my troubles I'm a +36
Still really undecided about what moves to make:
A) Valencia, Antonio & Ibra to Bellerin, Sanchez & Austin (-4)
B) Antonio & Ibra to Sanchez & Benteke
Notes:
- B would mean sticking with Valencia and not having an easy way to get an Arsenal defender.
- Wouldn't mind keeping Antonio a bit longer but my midfield is: Sterling, Antonio, Firmino, Snodgrass, Capoue - so no one else can make way really.
A
Rate this team out of 10. Rivals team.
Pickford
Clyne Williams Holebas
Sanchez Sterling Payet Snodgrass Aguero Lukaku Deeney
Subs: Jaku, McAuley, Capoue, Kone
7
A solid 7.5/8
6
The team's better than mine, that's for sure.
8/10
Is Snodgrass a good 4th mid with the fixtures coming up do we think he will deliver or even as a 5th mid playing 3-5-2?
yep!
Fact is Hull are not gonna score many goals, be ready for a blanks.
Exactly. Everyone playing Hull has the good fixture not the other way around
Defo not.
B
Would appreciate some opinions folks.
I was planning on playing my WC this week... was.. now im looking at my team thinking id make maybe 4 or 5 changes, most of which would be bench players... So im thinking maybe im wasting it and could wait until I really need it thats not to say once the internationals start i will have a few injured that could force it but as it stands 2 ft's looks fine to get a decent 11 out... team below pre ft's
Jaku Pickford
McAuley Holebas Stones Friend Paredes
Firms Capoue Sanchez Hazard Routledge
Lukaku Aggy Negredo
I would wc that in an instant
Parades Routledge Negredo are definates, Haz is a maybe rest I dont see where is worth it... thats majoirty bench players dont want to play my WC to have pts sitting on the bench lol
WC for sure
haz + negredo -> Son + Costa and I would keep WC
This
just do Negredo + Hazard + Routledge(if possible) out for Son + Wally + Austin/Deeney etc for -4 and you'll have a WC team right there
Or This
Great opinions thanks all
Ibra + Antonio + Capoue -> Austin + Coutinho + Firmino?
-8
Would leave me with:
Foster
Williams Valencia Evans Amat Lenihan
Sanchez Coutinho Firmino Sterling Fletcher
Aguero Lukaku Austin
As 5th midfielder and 3rd Forward
A) Snoddy + Austin/Wilson
B) Allen + Benteke/Deeney/Defoe
A with Austin for me
Like Defoe but not Allen, can you get Fer ?
i actually prefer Allen over Fer in his new role 🙂 .. plus cheap enough to bench(these are for 5th and 3rd mid and striker spots)
Cheers Valar, ATB.
B for me, for the short term i would take Deeney
A with Austin
A with Austin
A with Wilson
Just came to know that World no 8 is a dead team.
Hahahah !
Thats annoying
absolutely crushing really..
Will feel even worse if he's there at the season's end
Thats disgusting
TV 100.5 but 2 FT and all 4 chips in hand.
Would swap for my team in a jiffy. What about you guys ? :'D
Thoughts on the best defender and mid combo for max 12.6mil?
A) Smith + Son
B) Bellerin + Snodgrass
C) something else
Depends on the rest of your team. Would Snoddy/Son be your 4th mid?
Yes
With those fixtures I would probably go B. How is the rest of your defence?
B looks good
Who to bench lads?
A) Evans (TOT)
B) Williams (mci)
Currently playing Vertonghen & Friend.
A
B
Is Rose as good a pick as Walker?
No. He's better.
They're both great picks.
Who is expected to score more points in the next few GWs:
a) Antonio
b) Snodgrass
c) Chadli
Antonio imo
The Ibra conundrum. Anybody else having trouble deciding what to do?
What to do with a player like Ibra? Currently on 11.5m and 105085 transfers out this GW, so due a price fall, quite conceivably of 0.3m, bringing TV down. However, his underlying stats are great and could have (and should have) had a hat-trick against Stoke. Also, he is Ibrahimovic so can score at any time. Adding to this, he is very well owned so any sudden conversion of underlying stats sends 40%+ mangers soaring in rank.
Would be interesting to hear your thoughts, especially Jonty as a fellow Ibra owner, as I am going crazy here wondering what to do!
Too expensive and bad fixtures - get rid
As people were explaining above, the way the price system works means he is only going to drop 0.1 this break. I have him and am keeping. I know he isn't exactly proving he's worth 11.5 now, but I think he will over the course of the season.
Really? How come? I thought that 0.3 was the maximum he could drop in a GW. ( Sorry - I can't find the comments above.)
The comments might be on the last page, sorry. Basically it's sonething to the effect that it becomes harder for players to drop once they reach their starting value again, 11.5 in Ibra's case. Same can be seen with Hazard who was plummeting down but has now slowed.
brilliant - thanks for the reply.
I am absolutely tearing my hair out.
Goals are coming for him, I'm certain. But it's literally the choice between Ibra and Capoue or Benteke/Wilson and someone like Firmino.
It's a really tough, and season defining decision. At the moment I'm leaning towards selling, but his stats are indicative of someone who is going to get a big haul sooner rather than later
Yeah, but the alternates to Ibra will yield points too - you can always get him back when he is cheaper and with better fixtures
What are the alternates? Already have Kun & Tekkers.
Costa - silly to draft in when on 4 yellows. Is an injury and/or red card waiting to happen.
Lukkaku - against MCI next and fixtures not that great after that. Burnley will stiffle.
Leave 4m+ in the bank
take a -4
Ibra could turn it on against a leaky Liverpool. I can see a 3-4 score here. Plus he has no International matches.
This
Reply fail! I support jarvish's comment 🙂
Season defining? No pressure there then! lol.
United are not on fire, get him back when they are on form. That was my reasoning if it helps.
This is why it is so hard. I'm a Man U fan and watched the absolute annihilation of Stoke, but we came away with 1pt!
Ibra could have scored 3+ and can see us, based on that performance, putting some past Liverpool.
I have no sentimental attachment to Utd players as a fan - we have been dire the last few seasons, and I shipped out Shaw last week for Koscielny 🙂 - but Ibra is Ibra, with great underlying stats.
Please keep holding on to him. It is doing wonders for my rank and if he does score a goal my other forwards will.....well simply match or score more so more rank climbing. So keep him. Please. If he starts actually performing to his value I will get him in.
So lads, do we think the Spurs defence is as 'must have' as Arsenal's?
Not quite, but I'd rather have Walker than Kosc/Mustafi
Thanks. I have Monreal out of those defences. Not too much attacking threat but good bonus potential.
Think they are a better defensive unit than Arsenal.
Thanks
More Ibra war cry happening I see. Keeping because of x,y,z. Point is he is not worth the money atm, Man U hardly look attacking and other options are scoring more for far less money. The statement it is Ibra and he will eventually start scoring is becoming a bit boring now. If he does prove his value then I will buy at 10.5 after all his owners have shipped the big plank of wood.
Don't own Ibra, but United hardly look attacking is wrong. He had 6 shots, 4 on target vs Stoke. United had 24 altogether. Should've won by 2/3 goals
https://twitter.com/ManUtdReport_/status/782706805474529280
Should have, would have, could have. At the end of the day he is not scoring. That is the only stat I need. No point having loads of shots on target if you don't score. I am not looking at just the Stoke game when I say they don't look attacking. A pub team would look very attacking against Stoke.
he won't go down to 10.5m
He will eventually match the stats he's getting with goals and points. The question is about how long it takes and whether Liverpool and Chelsea are a good start for that. Probably not.
Exactly. I am not saying he is a bad pick. I am saying he is one now. Until he actually starts scoring what is the point in holding on to him. He needs to start outscoring other forwards (in my case Costa) by a considerable margin to prove his worth. He isn't atm. If he scores holders will be like haha at sellers whereas he still needs to outscore your alternative forward and the extra money spent elsewhere. That is a big task even for a legend such as Ibra.
e.g who scores more points
Costa + Son/Walcott
Ibra + Snodgrass
Not even close IMO.
Why not even close?? 3-4 weeks ago Costa was a player of max 5pts per game and Son was nailed on bench...and Ibra and Snod were killing it. Who says Ibra and Snod won't start to fire again...Ibra have the stats and Snod have the fixtures
Blooming hell.
Killing it LOL
Yes, they were killing i, Ibra had 4 goals in 3 games and Snod also had a couple of goals for only 5.5mil.
Ibra last 5 GWs
2-5-5-2-1
That is not killing it
Cost last 5 GWs
5-12-6-1-12
I would say that is closer to killing it.
I was reffering to the start of the season, when Ibra and Snod were getting loads of point and noone was getting Costa because he could get any BP-s and Son was nailed on bench. Costa will within game or two get his 1 game ban and who knows how is return of Kane impact Son. 4 GW ago if someone said that Son and Costa were better picks than Ibra and Snod everyone would have a nice lough, who knows what will happen in 2-3 weeks.
You are completely missing the point but GL
so he gets a 10 point haul next week and suddenly he's a good pick again.
If that is what you understood from my post then I can't help you.
just this 'I am not saying he is a bad pick. I am saying he is one now. Until he actually starts scoring what is the point in holding on to him' - and if he starts scoring next week...
Read the entire comment and then follow up. Then you might understand. Dont just pick one part of the comment. The rest is quite easy to understand !!
This. Saying that it is not important that a player of his qualitiy is getting a lot of shots inside the box is just crazy. He will score, a he will get point hauls, but at the moment for most people it is a choice of Ibra or Sanchez and this choice is (at least for now) obvious. But Ibra will get points, and a lot of them.
Ah. Another Ibra war cry. For me it isn't Ibra or Sanchez. It is the above and there is only 1 clear winner (I also have Sanchez). Keep holding
I'm selling him, like i said it is obvious that atm Sanchez is better option. But saying Ibra is not a good option is just wrong...if Aguero was getting 3-4 big chances a game but was missing them for a game or two you wouldn't say he is a bad pick (remember hs 5 goals vs Newcastle lastyear after his dry spel)
I think I disagree regarding Liverpool and Chelsea not being a good start. Despite good defensive stats, Pool have not kept a CS so far. Chelsea have kept two but have been quite inconsistent at the back.
I'm not an Ibra owner but this is the sort of argument people were making about selling Aguero just before gameweek 8 last year.
Comparing Aguero to Ibra? A guy who has consistently proven his worth to a guy that isn't and still yet to show his?
If 400 career goals isn't consistently proving his worth I'm not sure what is.
Different league is the obvious comeback with additional years. Still pointless IMO.
Its not as if England or English Champions League teams have proved a particular obstacle to him in the past though is it?
Does anybody know any sites that have info/stats for international teams for playing the Daily Fantasy games. Predicted line ups, set piece takers and anything else more detailed etc?
whscored probably best bet
Thanks Demi, yeh can't really find much else though
flash scores?
Good move or not, lads?
Ibra, Capoue, Fer > Stuani, Son, Firminho for -8?
Would be good if I didn't see Stuani in the mix.
No way
I wouldn't do them for free (I know not possible just making a point) let alone a -8..
just dreadful, probably wouldn't make a profit even without the -8 hit
