Liverpool and United’s strike pairings come under the microscope as the weekend numbers are crunched. We also look at the penalty box menace of City’s main forward, the Gunners new playmaker both at home and on the road, and highlight the potential on offer from a certain Canary and Magpie over the weekend and season so far:
Would appreciate thoughts on this lot...
Boruc (Mig)
Baines Shaw Chico Walker (Turner)
Yaya Ozil Townsend Morrison (Barkley)
Suarez (C) Lukaku (Campbell)
£3.9m to spend, was planning on Benteke for Campbell
Anyone got any better ideas?Open Controlsi wouldn't captain suarez. don't think he;ll do much this week. tough game.
Open ControlsYou might be right. Yaya?
Open Controls
Benteke for Campbell is an awesome idea.
Open Controlsyep, benteke for campbell sounds like a great idea to me
Open ControlsNope, good idea.
Open Controlscampbell out! benteke in!
Open ControlsWhat's your selling price for Barkley ?
Can you reach Hazard / Oscar for very nice Chelsea run (you've no CHE cover) ?
…but in answer to your question - sounds good 😉Open Controls5.5 for Barkley + 3.9 so yes could do Hazard.
Kind of think Benteke will score more reliable points
I see Torres is being rested tonight - could do him instead of Benteke I suppose - he's looking like a proper player again.
Too risky?Open ControlsTorres heading a better team than Benteke.
If you could guarantee his confidence flooding back the way it looked vs Citeh - then it's certainly a differential....Open Controls
Everton have quite a tough run of fixtures over the next 6. After that they've got a really nice run of fixtures, for me then it'll be;
'Enter the Belgian & American'Open ControlsAmerican?
Open ControlsSurely cheaper options at that role?
Open Controls
i'd prefer distin over him
Open ControlsI can't slot him into my defence. Ill have a play around now.
Open Controls
van Persie a good captain choice for this week?
Open Controlswondering that myself.
Open Controlshe isn't even a good choice to have in your team, never mind captain! it's all about rooney
Open Controlsyes, he is... [even if u have aguero and suarez]
Open Controls
Advice welcome.
1FT and 0.2 ITB
Boruc
Coleman Clyne GJ Dawson Burner
Michu Ramsey Paulinho Ozil Barkley
Suarez Kun Lukaku
Would like a Che def but for who?
One or both of Barkley and Paulinho are in my firing squad.Open ControlsPaulinho>Lallana/Bardy and then get Ivanovic-not necessarily in the same week.
Open ControlsPaul -> Brady. That'll give you the funds to get Terry next week.
Open Controlswhy bring in chelsea Defender? not likely to get a CS IMO.... i was thinking coleman to chelsea def but u cant do that probably and coleman could give u CS after a blank and then again another CS...
could think about Williams... I know it's very common idea, but, he's cheaper than other swans and there's always the Bonus factor....
I'd keep Paulinho... seems so great ... but, doesnt get anythingOpen ControlsChe have a good run of fixtures until GW17 and will get CS's.
Williams is a good shout but for who? Dawson is great value so it only leaves GJ which is possible if he is injured again.
As you say, Paulinho doesn't get anything. If only positioning gave you points!!Open Controls
A) Paulinho & Rooney
or
B) Hazard & Benteke (-4)Open ControlsThe number one rule in FF is pick players who are nailed on, WAYYY to many punts on here. E.g. I was reading earlier about Benteke vs Torres... Not even a headache.
Benteke is by miles a better option than Torres, Benteke will play 90 mins week in week out, 47% of Villa's goals come through him and he's on pens. Torres will be a rotation risk throughout the whole season and no pens as a bonus. Easy decision surely???Open ControlsWill Arsenal vs Chelsea just be squad teams? Will the likes of Ozil be playing do you think?
Open ControlsGiroud to Aguero for -4? Have both Ramsey and Silva in midfield
Open ControlsAny advice is most welcome here. Was going to get rid of RVP but now I'm sticking as he's finally found a bit of form. Think midfield is the area I need a bit of surgery this week.
Boruc / Foster*
Coleman / Toure / Clyne / Baker / Chester*
Ozil / Ramsey / Townsend / Barfa / Morrison
RVP / Lukaku / Sturridge
I've got £2.6m in the bank. Thinking either Barfa > Silva / Hazard / OscarOpen Controlsoscar
Open Controlsthanks guys. As much as I love Silva as a player, I'm inclined toward the more explosive Chelsea options.
In addition, buying either of those for Ben Arfa will give me a benching headache this week, as I really want to play Ravel at home to Villa, which would probably mean benching Townsend. Bad idea?Open Controls
Up against Evs in Tommy's All things 50 quids comp. 😯
Tough draw to start with.Open ControlsOk can't take this anymore. Got to make a decision - please help:
Take one out of giroud Sturridge lukaku
Put one in out of aguero Suarez benteke
Or shall I stay put?
Free transfer 2.4 in the bank.Open ControlsFinally a mention or two for Sess...not delivered yet but just like Paulinho his stas say he surely will...sooner or later....sooner I hope...
Open ControlsSuarez Kun Tekkers best front 3 for upcoming games?
Open Controlsslightly offtopic but marathoning breaking bad is not for the faint of heart. Just finished season 4 and....ooooooooffff
Steadily working its way up my list of favorite showsOpen ControlsIt's up there in the top four with sopranos the wire the west wing
Open Controls
Alrighty then. I've two free transfers so pick one, or two if needs be, players to get rid of from the list below:
A. Michu
B. Barkley
C. Wilson
D. Rudd (to Harper)
E. Paulinho
Go!Open ControlsAlr done my xfer for this gw and this is what i have atm
Thoughts on any xfer i could make nxt gw? hopefully chester will be back this wkend
Mignolet
Walker - Kos - Coleman
Ozil - Haz - Brady - Whitt
Aguero - Suarez - Lukaku
Bench: Lewis, Snodgrass, Chester, Collins (1.2m in the bank)Open ControlsKos/Collins>Evans/Williams?
Open Controls
How's this bad boy looking for next GW ? No FT left , 0 in bank.
Migs
Terry, Coleman, Clyne
Ozil , Michu, Ravel, Ramsey
Aguero (C), Rooney, Suarez
Bench : Lewis, Barkley, Dawson , ChesterOpen ControlsCold shower.
Open Controls
I could really do with some help for this GW.
Current team:
Mignolet Lewis
Coleman Terry Nastasic Clyne Burner
Ozil Michu Brady Ramsey Morrison
Suarez Giroud Rooney
I have 2 FT. Would really appreciate any ideas.Open ControlsThanks, can't afford that though, should I do Lewis > Harper and then use my FTs next week ?
Open Controls
Got Aguerro, Suarez an Giroud. Previous post most went Liv/Ars high scoring result.Most went AV to get 1 only. With MU shipping, next and 2 "easy's to follow think best to hold a while ? Surely Giroud wont play tonight (hope) thanks for opinions? Sorry Q was hold over Benteke?
Open ControlsIs a front line of Aguero/Suarez/Giroud good enough to except Brady/Snoddy/Ravel/Haz/Michu as a midfield? It's going completely against my principles and just looks wrong
Open ControlsGot Hazard already. It more wacking more than 31 mil up front that is the problem in my head.
Open Controls
All of your midfielders are capable of notching in goals. But cant expect consistent performances like premium mids.
Is your defense really good? If so that should cover up things.Open ControlsWalker/Chico/Pieters/Murner/Chester
Good enough for the foreseeableOpen Controls
MF isn't that bad. Just 1 HH missing but right now that doesn't matter as they are failing hard. I'd have Ben/Luka/Rooney over Giroud though
Open ControlsYeah but already taking a four point hit to get the above.
Scared I'll be trapped with money up front when the midfield does kick in. Thinking there's a massive Wally shape hole in my midfield.Open Controls
Cheers lads. Gotta dive. Food for thought
Open Controls
Not sure what my next move should be (apart from sorting my gk). Any suggestions with two FTs?
Harper, Lewis
Coleman, Terry, Dawson, Clyne, Faye
Ozil, Michu, Ramsey, Brady, Barkley
Rooney, Aguero, Suarez
0.4m in the bank.Open ControlsHarper isn't going to get you much, I suggest you downgrade a striker or do Barkley> Morrison and get Boruc or Vorm.
Open Controls
Just a quick muising to pass the time. I recall at the start of the season when people were posting their FPL goals and I saw alot of top 10k top 50k etc type of posts which kinda shocked me as the game hadn't even started yet. Why was no one saying 1st? I mean even now from the pit of hell my rank is in I'm still planning on finishing first overall(yeah I'm delusional) so why the lack of ambition on this site?
Open ControlsGiroud to aguero sounds good
Open ControlsWhy am I considering Yaya Toure and Giroud out for Sessegnon and Aguero(c) - do I need help?
Open ControlsNo way.
Open Controls
-8 is alot even if he gets you rid of Yaya. Meh prob do it
Open ControlsI am a Yaya fan but he just plays so deep. I'm still amazed at the positions he gets himself into. I already have Ramsey and Ozil which I think is enough coverage and could use the differential in Sess (have mignolet Coleman terry clone Ozil Ramsey Oscar Yaya Giroud Suarez Sturridge)
CheersOpen Controls
Do you think Giroud will fall this week? Already above 50%.
Open Controlsyes but only friday nigth i think
Open Controls
It's something I am considering as well. Having 2 big hitters in the mid still could work. How about your defence? Would you opt to play 4-3-3 in occasion? I am thinking that rotation between formations could allow this strategy
