Our weekly regular for Members is rolled out again this evening, offering an in-depth statistical analysis of the main captaincy contenders for the Gameweek ahead. Strong home games for City and Everton look tempting, while Liverpool and Arsenal pay visit to a couple of the promoted clubs over the weekend:
Choosing a palace defender. Know nothing really about any of them.
Which is the most solid choice, do we know? Ward, Gabbidon or Moxey?Open Controls
Gabbidon for baps but Ward more nailed on for Christmas (Gabbidon is old).
Open ControlsInteresting you think gabbidon might be rested during christmas period. Who is the backup cb?
Open Controls
Gabidon is the CB. Go with him
Open ControlsI am thinking this
Open Controls
Ward for that very slight bit of threat + similar bap likelihood to gabbidon
Open ControlsI am looking ward for possible assists, you know if anyone takes indirect free kicks into the box from half way line or possible long throw specialist in palace team?
Open Controls
None if you want points 😐
Open Controls
I'm doing Faye --> Gabbidon for what's it's worth. Plus 3 good fixtures coming up.
Open Controlsdo you know why gabbidon missed 2 games this season? Liverpool and Fulham away? Was it injury?
Those were 2 of their biggest defeats, 3-1 and 4-1. Since he came back they have been solid.Open ControlsAnother point in faour of his nailed on'ess I suppose. I know Pulis could change things but Gabbidon looks a good bet to start games.
Open Controls*favour
Open Controls
same here.im dropping for FT lovren for a Def.
go for Palace Ward fb (chance of assist) or Gabbidon CB + bapos
or
go for either Merts (going up 2nite again) or Pool Def in Skrtl, GJ, or Agger? or anyone elseOpen Controls
Would u rather
1. Look like Beardsley and play like c ronaldo
2. Look like giroud and play like xaviOpen Controls
Clyne -> Baker..... WTF are you guys thinkin.... LMAO TRANSFERS LIKE THIS BAFFLE ME
Open Controls
Best listen to this guy, he's an expert with his season history of a 425k finish.
Plenty of lols in here http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1661808/transfers/history/Open ControlsPOST YOUR TEAM SON AND SHUT UP
Open ControlsTHEN SHUP UP OR POST
Open Controls
You clearly don't even know how to look up a members team...
Open Controls
*gets popcorn*
Open ControlsPlease make your next comment: "I am your father". A Darth Vader grav wouldn't hurt either
Open Controls
LOL wasn't he the one saying people shouldn't be looking at last weeks points? Hmmmm Ramsey...Yaya....Aguero...
Open ControlsBUTTTT AMMMMM I KEPT THEM
Open Controls
Turn the CAPS off please. Thanks.
Open Controls
Yep, Ozil after his brace as well 😀
His GW1 team says everything I need to know.Open ControlsSAYS Pinocchio
Open Controlsvery much so. I give u guys advice and u slate it... LOL
Open Controls
got 82 my first week
Open ControlsYes I saw, Benteke turned out to be a great captain choice. Somewhat lucky to get 2 penalties in 1 game but it went well. 11 points from Whittaker, who was a bad pick as he was never 1st choice, was pure luck (I see he was autosubbed in as well for a bad DGW pick). Sturridge 3rd sub was just madness and indicative of someone who doesn't know what they're doing, along with your extremely expensive GK combo.
Open Controlsthis guy is amazing.
Open Controls
Agree, I won't be doing that!
What do you think of Ozil-> Navas and Janujaz -> Ramsey?Open Controls
Help me pick one please??
A). Dawson > Mert/Kos
B). Dawson > Terry (can't get Rooney in GW15.).
C). Clyne > Vlaar-Rat-Evans-??
D). Save free T.
Defence as is...
Boruc
GJ Burner Dawson (Clyne/Williams)Open ControlsFWIW, I prefer B but only if you can find a way of getting Rooney in. He's immense this season.
Open Controls
B for me, Arsenal have tough fixtures on the horizon.
Open Controls
A. Arsenal might get some clean sheets in the next few GW's, and I'd definitely go Mertesacker over Koscielny, Kos is a walking red card.
Open Controls
I quite like C Dawson has better fixtures to Clyne and United has a nice run over xmas
Open ControlsBest get rid of Dawson first, biggest risk of being dropped.
Terry would be the first I'd get.Open Controls
This would be one of those times where we look to the future rather than keep Clyne based on past performances.
Fwiw not sold on Baker or AVL defence yetOpen ControlsOh dear.
Time to go I think. Night y'allOpen ControlsYep, good idea, Cya folks
Open Controls
That's for me I presume. 🙂
Not sold on Villa defence either but WHU have injuries and I don't trust Newc either. What to do?!!Open Controls
no idea what to do with my team this week, any help would be appreciated as there isn't much flexibility financially.
mignolet
santon, ward, ivanovic
hazard. Ramsey, sessegnon, Townsend
aguero Suarez Rooney
Clyne, Parker, Chester
only .3 in the bank, selling Townsend seems the choice but for who? not many options at 6.1 and underOpen Controls
Who are the best keepers to have at the moment?
Open Controls
Marshall is a good cheapie imo, Cardiff are reasonably resilient.
Open Controls
night
Open Controls
Looks like I'm keeping Ozil for another week or two..really hope I don't regret it. Welcome to my Team...Gabbidon 🙁 and AGUERO!
Open ControlsHe's bound to bring in some points soon, he's still one of the top midfielders for PPG.
Open Controls
I kept him too.....waiting for Theo to show his pace. Ozil might be the best mid option over the next few weeks.
Open ControlsAguerrrrooooooo. Us poor souls who have brought him in this week are going to end up heartbroken if he blanks this weekend 🙁
Open ControlsHaha, I know right? But he just can't be ignored.
Open ControlsYepp most probably. Was thinking about captaining Suarez, but Hull usually don't concede a lot at home and City are amazing at home vs a shaky Swansea defence..
You?Open ControlsHmm yeah I think so. Just terrified of my -4 to transfer him in and captaining blowing up in my face with a 4pointer haha
Open Controls
Just did;
Lukaku/Oscar/Clyne>Aguero/Choutinho/Baker -4pts
Feels right!
Boruc/Harper
Terry/Williams/Turner/Turner/Baker
Ozil/Ramsay/Coutinho/Amalfitano/Ravel
Aguero/Suarez/Benteke
Wish me luck!Open ControlsBad move IMO. Lukaku plays Stk at home. Oscar is our best player and nailed on
Open ControlsI do not think Oscar is nailed on, In the short run anyways, he will suffer from rotation.
It was between Lukaku and Benteke....(3 week punt) I went Tekkers as better fixtures over the next 3 plus his "friends" are back Weimann/AgbonOpen Controls
no chelsea attack? Personally I too would have held Oscar. Mou loves his gloves!
Open Controls
Mignolet / Marshall
Evans / Rat / Turner / Williams / Ivanovic
Morrison / Amalfitano / Gerrard / Hazard / Mirallas
Suarez / Giroud / Lukaku
2FT, 0.8M
Any suggestions? I have no easy way to fit Aguero in but I don't see many obvious weaknesses otherwise... Was planning to offload Mirallas or Lukaku due to their fixtures but I'm reluctant now that they're hinting at picking up some form again.Open Controls
Will RVP make it for the upcoming GW? or should I finally cash in for Suarez? really need a differential so open to keeping if he's playing
Open ControlsDon't think there's been any news but I would expect an appearance from the bench this weekend.
Open Controls
Boruc (Davis)
Clyne Chester Burner Chico Baker
Walcott Ramsey Ravel Hazard Coutinho
Aguero Rooney Kun
I'm thinking of just saving the transfer, thoughts?Open Controlsthat defence hurts my eyes, Downgrade one of the mids
Open ControlsAre you shitting me with that defence? Needs fixing now!
Chester > Gabby? (At least playing and has much better fixtures for the next 5 weeks or more).Open ControlsWould chester to Gabby actually make a difference?
Open Controls
.4 in the bank, I just cant see anyone worth upgrading to in my price range
Open Controls
Bored so I thought I'd ask:
What rank did you achieve your first season?Open Controlsnot a bad shout. else you could spice up your defence.
Open Controls
Am I missing something with all these Baker transfers in?
1) Not first choice when everyone is fit
2) Villa don't keep clean sheets
3) He's just plain terribleOpen Controls
Is Brady getting better or worse? Any news since Bruce's postgame comments or do we have to wait for Friday?
Open ControlsStill struggling. Don't have much faith in him anymore.
Open ControlsMaybe cut your losses and get rid? Busy christmas period upon us soon, 3 games in the space of 7 days to come. Realistically can't see him starting all of those
Open ControlsThanks for the comments - kind of what I expected. I'm debating getting rid of either him or Januzaj for Ravel.
Open Controls
MILANISTA for president... this guy is amazing
Open ControlsLet's not start another conversation. Time to move on. Thanks.
Open Controls
Moyes: "Knocks and niggles, knocks and niggles"
Pellegrini: "The plan was to give Aguero 45 minutes"
Pellegrini is fantasy gold.Open ControlsHe's played Kolarov more often than Mancini!
(Not that Pellegrini's defence has been as good, which is of course completely unrelated)Open Controls
Add to that saying who's in goal before each game, and who he regarded as number one striker (before he tried him)... Pellegrini is the greatest friend to fantasy managers since Ancelotti.
Open ControlsHe did kind of troll us with that Dzeko thing though.
Open ControlsIt was true when he said it though, and he did keep starting him until it became obvious Negredo was better (which he is). Think it was 3-4 starts from the start of the season.
Open Controls
True but not so much in his use of nastasic. Not even any news on this so far. Maybe wait till the presser? I guess pellegrini is honest most of the time, he did say nastasic would face a late fitness test v sunderland then was available v spurs in his pressers.
Also this aguero 45 mins run out baffles me. Why does he need specifically 45 mins v plezen? Seriously he has 3 games in 7 days coming up. He has just come off int duty travelling around america with the argentinian squad and has been playing regularly.
Pellegrini said he was tired and needed a rest so agreed to play him for 45 mins. That is just plain stupid really, why risk injury with him and he doesn't need gametime when he has such a big amount of games to come.Open ControlsYeah I find Pellegrini refreshing because he's not so paranoid and petty that he feels the need to lie and hide in his pressers. It's almost as if, wow, he trusts his team to win.
I am also a Nasty owner and would love some news, I reckon it's probably a knock that Pellegrini doesn't regard as significant enough to mention tonight, especially given he did not need him because it was not a very important game. I'd expect him to mention him in the Swansea presser.
Just wants to keep Aguero playing I'm sure. It's about more than our fantasy teams.Open Controls
alright lads,
pick one to bench
ramsey, oscar, yaya, barkley, ravel
ta!Open ControlsOne of the cheapies. Barkley may finally do something so Ravel for me.
Open ControlsBarkley. Not sure if he will start is all. (If he does start I'd prefer him to Ravel).
Open Controlsthanks lads, here's something funny. I asked RMT the same question and it had ramsey on the bench. 🙂
Open Controls
Barkley, unless you here Barkley is going to start, then RMorrison
Open Controls🙂
Open Controls
Could someone quickly tell me the ManU formation tonight? Haven't seen the game. Was it Phil Jones in midfield?
Open Controls
Evening chaps, hows this team looking for next GW?
Migs
Zaba Ward Rat
Sess. Ramsey Oscar Arnie
Aguero (c) Rooney Suarez
Bench: 4.0 keeper Delph Chico Chester
Look about right? I'm playing Rat in the hope that he will be fit, just so that I won't have to field Chico who could well get minus points!Open Controls
Need some help with the best way to bring in Aguero. please pick 1
A) Benteke and Nasri --> Aguero and Ravel -4
B) Benteke, Sessegnon and Dawson -> Aguero, Bacuna, Gabbidon -8Open Controls
plenty of dif in my mid this gw - nasri, coutinho, walcott - 4%, 5%, 4%
Open ControlsWhat is the importance of team-value? This is my first full season and have been reading this site alot since I started but haven't really seen much in the way of people putting emphasis on raising team value .I can imagine as long as you have not jeopardized masses of points to do so, then having a significant team-value will give you a real edge going into the 2nd half of the season. What I want to know is how much of a difference does it actually make? Thanks in advance.
Open ControlsWhen you get to the Jan WC, team value will be of greater importance. Will give you the chance of having a better defence if you like & matching the template attacking 8's around.
Open ControlsThanks, so holding value is what its all about, in that case should I feel confident that even though I'm 86 points behind my main rival in mini-league I have a much better holding value(about 2.5 mil). I know obviously it's not the be all and end all but I do have an advantage in that sense, he tells me it doesn't matter at all.
Open Controls
Ok lads, can you help shave .6m off this team by GW 15.
Boruc/3.9
A.Williams, Terry, Clyne, Johnson, Burner
Morrison, Barkley, Walcott, Hazard, Ramsey
Rooney, Suárez, AgüeroOpen ControlsHmmm... Don't think Barks downgrade will be enough as the options there are pretty shite.
Williams might be a good shout though for another £4m def.Open Controls
Whats the 0.6 mil for? Just do A Will --- > Ward and theres 0.8 in the bank for you.
Open ControlsRamsey-> Sess
Williams --> Collins
just off the top of my head. I prefer Ram outOpen Controls
A williams to Gabbidon if youre willing to play Terry and GJ every week.
Southamption, Cardiff, Palace have a brilliant 1 in 3 rotation.Open Controls
Morning all !!
Disastrous Matchday 5, for me in UCL with around 4 players not playing including my captain. Bleh.Who cares.
Right.So then,i dont want a similar scenario this GW.
This team all set for the weekend?
Migs
Jagielka Vlar Terry
Ravel Oscar Gerrard Walcott
Aguero(C) Suarez (v) Benteke
Daniels/ Bacuna/Fonte/Chester
Cheers in advance.Open ControlsEvening , pls advice on Def- thx dropping for FT lovren for a Def.
go for Palace Ward fb (chance of assist) or Gabbidon CB + bps
or
go for either Merts (going up 2nite again), Kos or Pool Def in Skrtl, GJ, or Agger? or anyone elseOpen ControlsGJ or Skrtel as they have better fixtures coming up.
Open Controlsthinking Agger as Agger has had mlre pts & bonus p avg p/game than both Skrtl and gj, no? agger now healthy + cb have more baps also
Open Controls
I prefer option B. I don't fancy Palace for enough cleanies despite fixtures. They are rubbish.
Open Controlswho in Option B would u go for..? Merts seem best but onl;y next 2 gw then have 3 tough gw
or go for pool in who GJ, Skrtl or Agger...Open Controlsthx. was just double checking GJ #s this yr r not too good taking out his games he didn't play; agger has been better in pts, baps, bonus certainly due t being CB.
is agger fully recovered health wise..
not sold if GJ can do his assist/gol threat potential, sometimes hes too much hypeOpen Controls
