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.
@ Balders or other - are you able to run a script (not even sure if that's the right word) that works out who has the top score for played pts & benched pts? So basically who has the best 15 man squad so far/after each GW?
Reckon it might be interesting to see how far off OR1 that person is.....
Its certainly possible but it'd take a lot of computing time to go through 3m teams. There's a reason SmartyPants only does a 1% sample for FPLdiscovery.
Ah right, fair point.
Probably the highest overall score would be in the top 1% anyway. Or atleast likely to be.
If they were out side that they be fuming with so many points on the bench 😀
Cheers anyhow, my give Smarty Knickers a ring....
Pickford | Foster
Valencia | Williams | Collins | Pieters | Amat
Firmino | Walcott | Antonio | Ozil | Capoue
Aguero| Costa | Benteke
A) Ozil, Valencia > Son, Koscielny (-4)
B) Ozil, Antonio > Sanchez, Snodgrass (-4)
Could you just do Valencia to Kos?
Otherwise I like B more, but would try to get ARS defender soon.
No, price rise, 0.1 short
Sanchez Firmino Antonio Capoue Fletcher
Antonio would become Shaq
Worst top of page ever?
Fail reply to my own post
very weak midfield that becomes. & all to fun a defender
I know, but as soon as Costa gets his yellow he becomes Deeney and Capoue becomes Son, so I'll rebalance. It's just one week it's bad.. part of a wider plan haha
Who play next GW ?
Kosc - Holebas - X
a/ Baines
b/ Stones
Probably Baines
A. both will concede imo but Baines has better chance of attacking points
This.
Baines for me, surely. Who knows, he might still be on pens. 😉
For the foreseeable future, would you rather have
A) Sanchez and Benteke/Deeney
B) Walcott and Ibrahimovic
A
Any opposing perspectives, people? 🙂
A with Deeney
Reasons why? I have a feeling about Benteke, but people seem very positive towards Deeney.
I think both are good picks.
Deeney just 'feels' right to me.
I have Sanchez and Benteke, and there's no way I'd trade them for Walcott and Ibrahimovic. Also I don't get the Deeney love over Benteke.
A
deeney not leaving my team til 2nd wc
how long has allen been playing in the number ten role?
he's not playing #10
Hi all,
Does anyone think BOU's Stanislas or King are good alternatives to Snodgrass for that 4th mid spot?
And if so, which out of Stanislas and King are the most nailed on and offer the greater potential?
Would especially like to hear from any BOU supporters if there's any here as I don't know much about BOU's squad tbh.
Thanks. 🙂
No.
I'm not even sure Snodgrass is worth that spot himself, over time. But for now I'll keep
I definitely think Snodgrass is worthy of that 4th spot, and if you have him I'm convinced you'll be very pleased now his fixtures have cleared up.
Come seasons end he'll score a minimum 140-160pts if not more imo, and you can't ask for much more from a 4th mid given his price. I actually think he was underpriced at the start of the season based on Hull's issues preseason, but Hull have been more competitive than most expected, and with set pieces in Snodgrass' locker, we've already seen he can grab points even when the fixtures are tough.
Snodgrass is my preferred option, however it's surprising what I can do with the extra funds if I opt for King or Stanislas, hence my original question.
Josh king will find his way into my team this season.
He's the better of the two FPL wise.
Do you think King is close to nailed on, or is it always a risk because he's competing with Stanislas, Ibe, Wilshere and Wilson for his place?
He seems nailed to me.
I can't be 100% tho
Ok thanks. 🙂
Yup looking good for possible King and Success 4th/5th midfielder rotation in near future
if ur doing bournemouth stretch to wilshere has hit post 4 times so is off the radar but will score a good few soon
Sanchez and Wilson/Austin
Or
Walcott and Sterling
Gracias
Walcott/Sterling

Btw I have an identical front 8
Thanks! Are you not a bit worried by Ozil's lack of returns? I watched the Burnley game and he was pretty deep, didn't look much of threat.
A
Ibra and Lamela to Aguero and Allen -4?
or costa and a pool/arsenal mid
I have Costa Firmino and Cazorla already
then yes aguero and allen/snodgrass
Is Callum Wilson worth considering?
yuck
Yeah good fixtures.
yes, he should be considered.

1ft. 0.0ITB. Just sit still and wait for next gameweek?
Collins to Francis?
Wayne Rooney, now into his 13 season with united, has only scored 15+ PL goals on 4 occasions. Peculiarly paradoxical player. Country's leading goalscorer but never really that prolific..
To be fair to Rooney he has spent a lot of his career playing in different positions whether it be left or right side, CM, CDM.. i remeber in particular the season after Ronaldo left he was given the chance to be the main central striker and he scored 34 in all competitions and matched that total again two seasons later.. his goals record over the years has been excellent even if he is utter tripe now
he used to be a fantastic player, but sadly he's finished as a force in the PL.
His scoring record at international level flatters him, in that he hasn't done it at a major tournament in 12 years.
Brought Son in for decent fixtures, top form, and a couple of price rises.....somehow he doesn't feel right sat in my team.
I can't wait for Pogba to start racking a few pts up.
You have a long wait. The guy is so overrated and I'm not just saying that based on his Utd performances.
Maybe.
totally agree.
Only a matter of time Wakey
He's so good to watch.
He is going to be phenomenal.. Can't be easy adjusting to the pace of top level PL football after years in Italy which is played at a snails pace in comparison.. he's had a couple of excellent performances so far showing glimpses of what we can expect and a few poor games by his high standards.. getting forward a lot more without Rooney around too..
Taking the firmino to Pogba punt gw3(2 FTS and nowhere else to use them) has kinda ruined my season start. However, im planning on hopping on again as soon as the fixtures clear
🙂
Pogba is fun to watch, but not good value fpl-wise.
Which is the better option?
A) Vertonghen, Sterling, Austin
B) Mustafi, Walcott, Wilson
Appreciate your thoughts!
Why not Vertonghen sterling austin?
What do you mean?
Post ur current team so we can give a better reccomendation
Pickford - Foster
Stones - Williams - Francis - Amat - ___
Sanchez - Firmino - Son - Snodgrass - ___
Aguero - Deeney - ___
Which 3 are better option?
What would you guys recommend, thinking of going AOA:
Heaton
Walker XXX
Sanchez Son Firmino Walcott Capoue
Deeney Kun Lukaku
A. Williams (city away)
B. Lovren (utd home)
C. Evans (spurs home)
D. Bench Capoue and play 2 of the above
bench capoue and play lovren and evans
Who would you rather have?
Pogba or Mata?
(Pogba & Van Dijk) vs (Mata & Bellerin)
Neither.
Neither, but Mata and Bellerin if you must.
Mata and Bellerin easy
Mata and Bellerin. but mata is less secure then pogba long term i think
Anyone like Joe Allen as 5th mid?
Yes. What's not to like. Whether you play him or not is another matter.
I would instead of Bolasie this gwk
We miss so many pts on this site by not trusting to luck with the minnows and their good fixtures. You just have to jump on and off at the right time.
I'll get Bolasie again soon when I fancy the fixtures. Hardly anybody on here likes him but I got him in again, got a couple of assists, and then jumped off again.
Allen will be the same.
So much this. A sub 6 priced player can act as a false 8.5+ player for a run of good fixtures and form
I like Joe Allen as 4th mid
Could do Capoue > him for free 🙂
Foster Jaku
Williams Valencia walker Stones Friend
Firmino Sanchez chadli Sterling Capoue
Costa Kun diomande
1FT 0.4ITB
A) Valencia + Stones -> Kos + smith for -4
B) hold off till break is over
Nice defence, i would wait. Bench valencia for some weeks, he will come around. Maybe switch valencia to spurs def? Would not take hits with that defence.
Already have walker
Definitely hold off. Defence is good.
I'd start looking towards trying to raise money to upgrade Diomande or Capoue.
Perhaps downgrade Valencia to someone cheaper?
For those of you going 3-5-2 who is your 3rd striker? Would do it in a heartbeat if the cheapest, good playing striker was sub 5.5(noone below Austin @6.3 though)
Currently planning a 3-5-2 / 3-4-3 system on WC with both Snoddy and Austin as my cheapest mid/striker.
Put Diomande in as third striker in 352 frees up a lot of cash.
He is nowhere near nailed though. Infact hull fans are wondering why he even starts for them
Stuani?!
He has a very short lifespan too based on the Middlesbrough forums. Not watched em play since i got burnt my Ramirez but the reviews say he doesn't offer anything at all playing as RW even though he scored
isn't that a good thing? no benching dilemmas
Having a non playing attacker in the front 8 is surely never a good thing. Atleast allen for eg plays in midfield and has points potential. Cheap as chips fletcher etc guarantee 2 points a week too. No forward below 6.3 can assure that. Anyway i was asking to make sure there's no sub 6 forward I've missed. Stuani and diomande seem th3 oly options
Mbokani maybe. Put in a good shift against Chelsea
agreed those 2 pts seem like nthing but they do add up
Afternoon all, How are we all?
Thinking of the below two moves this week for a -4, would appreicate your thoughts:
a) Zlatan > any striker 9.5 or below - who do you recommend?
b) Kone or Zuniga > Bellerin - Which one should i take out?
Cheers,
a) Lukaku
b) Zuniga
RMT please
Cech - (Pickford)
Clyne - McAuley - Holebas - (Amat - Smith)
Walcott - Sanchez (C) - Antonio - Firmino - (Capoue)
Lukaku - Defoe - Aguero (V)
TV 102m, 0 FT, 0 ITB
Many thanks

looks good, but Sanchez is a risky (C) for GW 8 due to international committments.
Rose seems so much more fun to own than Vertonghen. Strugglin to find the 0.4 though. Also, Davies put on a decent shift in his absence. Reckon he is a rotation risk around european matches?
Vertonghen has 90 mins and a steady stream of baps going for him. Not so much as a glimpse of goal threat though 🙁
If Poch is expecting his Spurs team to play at the intensity of that last match then all their players must be at rotation risks to some degree. They simply can't play at that pace every three or four days week in and week out.
Thats the thing. Will be especially difficult for wingers and full backs. CBs in general dont need as much rest/rotation
Or maybe im just pessimistic about rose since i got burnt by him last season
He's doesn't seem to rotate his CBs much. Only injuries last year as far as I remember.
Heaton
Kosi Smith Walker
Mane Sanchez Capoue Payet
Aguero Wilson Lukaku
Pickford Meyler Gibson McAuley
103.0 nowt in the bank. Any help appreciated!
Wow - you are rich
yeah kudos on the team value, well done!
Capoue as your 4th mid needs ditched imo, can you do Mane->Cout, Cap->Snoddy?
Which is the best way to look at form stats or points scored (Ibra stat)
@Demi
Look at utd league results
1-1 with stoke
4-1 vs lei
Beat 3-1 by watford
Beat 2-1 by city
Beat hull 1-0
So last 5 league games they have only scored more than 1 goal once. Watching them its clear the potential is there but jose doesnt know his best team yet and they are not clicking. Game against zorya was a huge tell tale sign. Something missing in that team preventing it from clicking.
Walcott or Son? Or take a chance on Pogba?
RMT
Foster - Jaku
Walker - Lorven - Smith - Baines - Amat
Mane - Sanchez(V) - Sterling - Capoue - Redmond
Lukaku - Aguero(C) - Diomande
0FT
Who to bench? Good to go?
Bench Jaku, Baines, Capoue, Diom
bemch Amat instead of Baines. Really sucks to have both Capoue & Diom!
Baines + Capoue --> Rose + Fletcher, for free. Yay or nay?
Close, but if Baines has penalties definitely not.
Play 2 out of
A) Valencia(liv) B) Jagielka (mci) C) Amat (ars) D) McAuley(TOT)
I believe all will concede i am thinking of starting the first 2 due to possible attacking returns. Thoughts?
