Paul Time to roll out our first post-Gameweek delve into the 2017/18 members’ data and assess some of the stand-out performers over the opening round of matches.
Tottenham’s top scorer misses chances aplenty as the transfers-out pick up pace. Man City’s front two and Liverpool’s summer signing from Roma arrive for analysis, while Chelsea and Palace’s left wing-backs also make the cut thanks to forward-thinking performances.
How can I control my giggles when Kane blanks GW2?
He likes his London Derbies...
What do you do if you need to get rid of both Fabregas + Zaha?
Take a -4
Which players for that -4?
Fab > mooy/atsu/Ritchie/
Zaha > Mkhi
I have Pogba already. Pogba + Mkhi?
Fab > 4.5 mid
Zaha > Mane/Alli/Eriksen
I have Carroll and got a 4.5m striker lol
honestly can't think of much else. I would just go with Mkhi and Pogba probably. Do you have Lukaku as well?
Yup I have Lukaku. Triple United attack would be a madness!
David Silva perhaps instead of Mkhi?
I have KDB. This is my team:
Begovic (Elliot)
Kompany Kolasinac Stephens Bertrand (Rosenior)
KDB Pogba Zaha** Fabregas** (Carroll)
Kane Lukaku (McBurnie)
£0m ITB
Fab > RLC who seems nailed on
Zaha > Salah/Mane is best I think.
Seems the best option to make in a horrible situation.. I'll have to play at least 1 4.5m midfielder every week though
Punt on Wijnaldum and bank some money by downgrading either of the 2 to your 5.5/6m mid of choice perhaps?
There aren't many stand out options at that price... or maybe I could swap the two £7m midfielders for another two £7ms and go Willian and Ramsey/Wijnaldum?
yup could do. Depends on whether you want to have some funds for other transfers the following week.
I think I'll play WC soon so funds in bank won't matter as much...but I really can't decide
Get mkhi and atsu
I've already got Pogba
Son and atsu then
What do you have on your bench? Maybe sell one and bench the other for a week, to avoid a hit.
Or, you could see it as an opportunity. You have 14 million and two mid slots. There's a lot of combinations to be had for that money:
> Mane + 4.5
> Alli/Eriksen + 4.5
> Mhki + 6.0
My bench is: Carroll, Rosenior and McBurnie. I basically went all out with bench fodders to have a strong XI.
I like the sound of Mane/Salah but having 2 4.5m midfielders isn't the best idea?
The best player in the game (FFS Hall of Fame) has two 4.5 midfielders.
But does he also have a 4.5m striker like myself?
My bad, didn't see that. This complicates things. I think I'd still prefer it over trebling up on United's attack.
Yeah I reckon i'm going to have to go with 2 4.5m midfielders and have to play one of them every week. Not many good options though
Zaha to Mooy / Fabergas to Silva??
Gmw 2
Keep Hernandez or swap?
If you got him week 1 against United away why wouldn't you give him a shot at home?
Because there might be a better option with vardy or firmino?
Do you have 1.5m itb to make that change?
Yes
Would have to take a
Hit of -4pts
Ahh personally I wouldn't take the hit. Would give it another week myself but if you don't think Chicharito does much go for it
Then fair play. Firmino is a great option.
Firmino over vardy? Most say that but don't no why? I found this decision so hard to choose which one?
west ham are away again
Yeah and against Southampton who keep a lot of clean sheets
Already have Mkhi so replacing Zaha with someone at 7m or below. Who would you go for?
A) Ramsey
B) Willian
C) Wijnaldum
D) Other (can't be Atsu)
Own Gabbiadini and don't fancy double Southampton attack so Tadic and Redmond out of the question.
Mooy
0 pen box touches, 0 shots and playing in the double pivot. Feels like you're very reliant on set pieces with him. I know his assist was from open play but still.
Rambo
Leaning towards him atm just worried Elneny might keep his place for another game or two.
Other - Richarlison (bold move), Mooy (prudent move)
or C
Chance of Ramsey starting? Or is it too big a risk as Zaha replacement?
Tadic
tadic
Ramsey is a nailed starter, he's start if he's fit.
zaha to
a) ritchie
b) atsu
c) other 7 or less
Atsu
why atsu? just money?
does Ritchie have fks and pens?
Atsu was the best performer last hame. Ritchie was poor
yeh i agree. just thinking games vs lesser teams will play out differently.
I punted on wijnaldum
forget option c
just
Ritchie or atsu??
tadic
GTG?
DDG
Stephens Dawson Lowe Kola
Tadic KDB Willian
Lukaku Firmino Kane
(Elliot Suttner Chalobah Carroll)
Tadic a big risk and Southampton attack looked poor. I would save 1.5 m with transfer to Atsu and use it for Willian to Mkhitaryian when Hazard back
Is Atsu a transfer waiting to happen?
Yes
ffs
Beautiful fixtures until GW 6, though
Which move?
(A) Zaha & Ritchie > Mkhi & Atsu
(B) Zaha & Gabbiadini > Mkhi & Mounie
(C) Zaha & Ritchie > Mkhi & Fraser
B
Out: Zaha & Bailly
In: Mhiki & Jones
I know the second move doesn't seem to make much sense at first glance, but it seems to be the best way of affording Mhiki without disrupting my team balance
Is jones nailed?
Other seem to think so. Apparently he's been performing well for a little while now, if you count preseason.
My man!
I'm just about to do Bailly --> Yoshida (have Stephens)
&
Zaha --> Mikhi.
Would do Bailly --> Jones but I have Matic (long story) so have to lose my UTD def. Way I see it I have two UTD mids so I get half a CS in a way.
Plus Bailly no att threat and Yoshida plenty of att threat.
Like it?
Yeah I think that's pretty sound. Glad I already have Yoshida.
I like having a United defender though, just feel like they're gonna rack up the CS this season.
I agree but I prefer Mikhi so much over all the other 7m Zaha replacements that something has to give.
I believe Yosh will match Bailly over the next 6 games for example.
And I also believe Mikhi will crush all the 7m Zaha replacements.
So this -4 a no brainer for me
Yeah, I'd say go ahead with it mate.
I feel the same about Mhiki, hence my question. Think I'm gonna do the transfers.
PvA: stick or twist?
Stick
Is replacing Zaha with Mkhi worth a hit?
Wondering the exact same thing. I'm probably going to do it.
urgh driving me nuts. was all for zaha to ritchie but after watching scout cast I
feel like i need on the Mkhi bandwagon
He rises tonight too
id love to do it but only feasable way is a doubt hit for me. but yeh probably good depending on what it involves
Zaha and Phillips > Mkhi and Atsu
Seem ok? Just worried on Atsu
Play elliot (hud) or hart (sou)?
Hart - Sou couldn't score in a brothel at the moment
haha ( i just got tadic)
I'm sorry for your loss. Thoughts with you at this difficult time
A) Zaha -> Willian
B) Zaha -> £5m so can Dawson/Stephens/Ake -> Alonso next week
Foster (Elliot)
Ake, Bertie, Dawson, (Stephens, hunemeir)
Mikhi, KDB, Zaha, Atsu (Carroll)
Firminho, Kane, Kaku
0itb
And if B then who? RLC?
A
Also it might be Ramsay rather than Wilian
J Rod or Mounie?
Mounie probs
DeGea (Elliot)
Stones Stephens Dawson Mee (Rosenior)
DeBruyne Willian Wijnaldum (Zaha Carroll)
Kane Lukaku Gabbiadini
My mind had been set on saving the free transfer, but with Zaha's news I can't escape thinking of changing things.
Here are the options:
A) Save the transfer, play 4-3-3, have 2 FTs next week.
B) Zaha->LoftusChick to open up money for next week's possible upgrade of Wijnaldum/Willian->Eriksen/Salah/Mane.
C) Tempted for a hit before price changes: Zaha+Gabbiadini->Mkhitaryan+Mounie.
D) Your suggestion.
Thank you
B I think. Eriksen looks v good, wondering how to get him in my team!
I think Mark needs to scrap this captains vote as well. He forgot to add Xhaka
Haven't been keeping up to date on here so would love some advice. Is it stupid to wild card this team this early? If not thinking Zaha > Tadic, Francis > Daniels. But I'd still worry about Danilo... Would love some opinions.
Begovic / Elliot
Danilo / Stephens / Francis / Suttner / Long
Salah / Willian / Zaha / Ritchie / Carroll
Kane / Lukaku / Jesus
No way should you wildcard, that's a strong team. Can't believe you're considering it.
Only because of the worry at the back. Had a pretty shit opening week (captaining Jesus), was just after some opinions. I shall stick 🙂
Zaha to Tadic is all you need. Danilo will play this week
Nah could even get away without a hit. Get rid of Zaha today and monitor Francis price - might be able to do your options for free spread out. Play suttner and Carroll if necessary - that's why they're there...
My worry is that if Francis doesn't play which looks likely, and Danilo doesn't make it then thats a wasted slot is all....
Zaha > Tadic all good?
If you take the hit of -4 you'd need a clean sheet for your replacement to justify it 🙂
Don't have Zaha or tadic myself but seem so popular pick here and has good fixtures
(A) Zaha + Willian + Danilo > Atsu/Mooy + Eriksen + Jones (over 2 weeks)
(B) Zaha + Willian > RLC + Eriksen
Foster
Danilo, Ake, Yoshida,
Salah, KDB, Willian, Zaha
Lukaku, Jesus, Firmino
Elliot, Carroll, Rosenior, Long
When does everyone think it will be the best time to use the Free Hit chip? The DGW?
Probably for blank game weeks when a limited number of teams are playing.
Blank GW. When there is only 4 or 5 fixtures.
Big blank week.
Cheers guys
Yeah.
DGW, a GW full of blanks, a GW when a couple of your best players have 1-match-suspensions or injuries but will return soon, and if nothing works out, save it for GW38 when everything is wrapped up and players are being rested for the World Cup.
DGW when teams you do not have a lot of players in taking part
would you do:
de bruyne, zaha, michy >> mhkhi, atsu, aguero (-8) ?
i wouldnt wanna get kdb out just yet. having said that none of these are bad at all and you kind of upgrade kdb so probably would say its profitable
Definitely! Do it now before rises
Is B Davies nailed?
At least until Rose is fit, possibly even longer
Yes.
would have thought so, he was rose's only replacement for the end of last season wasn't he?
join us
I'm not getting this one tbh. Chelsea up next, one decent game then the international break and Rose on the horizon.
Which do you prefer:
A) Zaha to Ramsey
B) Zaha and Danilo to Mkhi and Lowe -4
C) Zaha and Gabbiadini to Mkhi and Mountie -4
Opinions appreciated!
I an considering A or B myself. Leaning towards the latter.
Does Atsu offer better value than Ritchie do we think?
Depends on how many penalties Newcastle get.
value wise possibly
everyone seems to be on atsu, i kind of want to go ritchie tho
is zaha to ritchie good option for no hit & 1 mil. in the bank? NEW do have easier fixtures now. Or straight swap to Willian?
Or -4 for Miki like everyone is saying? I prefer not use -4 as I can still play JWP for GW 2 instead of Zaha.
When is Lanzini back? He would be the perfect Zaha replacement.
Read the West Ham numbers article. Ayew is better.
i was at the game ayew was very poor. lanzini was missed
It's early days, has FPL Stats. been very accurate with it's price rises, and falls so far?
Yeah, not too bad...
Yeah pretty reasonable. Predicted some rises (lukaku/mkhi) last night which didn't happen but generally seems on the money
Cheers lads.
Was the scoutcast posted for gw2?
It's on YouTube.
Cheers
who is better option atsu or ritchie for net 3-4 matches?
Form and price says Atsu but Ritchie on free kicks and penalties so possibly the safe pick. I went Atsu and have £1m in bank
hello all, any update on Zaha...is he worth keeping until Fri team news or drop now for Willian for -4? thnx
willian rising tonite it seems at 91%
already got ramsey.cant get mik
