With Chelsea’s win at the Etihad bringing Gameweek 24 to its conclusion, we delve into the data once again. Stoke’s midfield goal hero, West Ham’s target man, United’s fit-again frontmen and the knock-on effect Liverpool’s downturn in possession has had on a certain Uruguayan all come under our analysis this time around:
What would you do to join Suarez: Pick a letter and a number.
Transfer OUT:
A) Giroud, OR;
B) Adebayor
For:
1) Sturridge
2) JRod
3) Dzeko
4) Rooney (Giroud out only)
5) BentekeOpen Controls
A5
Open Controls
Agree.
Open Controls
Same boat, thinking A3
Or possibly Lambert?Open ControlsThanks guys. It's a toss up between JRod and Benteke. Everyone in my mini league has Suarez/Sturridge or Suarez/Dzeko. I'm 40 points off first and need a differential.
Open Controls
Do you guys reckon Adam Johnson has earned an England call up for the World Cup. Walcotts injury seem to have giving him a new light and would be one of the first in the England team for me at the moment.
Open Controls
Possibly. Closest competition is Sterling you'd think.
Open Controls
Last world cup yes, this world cup I'd pick lallana & sterling ahead of him. I might even go for Milner too.
Open ControlsLallana will be on the plane anyway, whether Johnson is or isn't.

Sorry to repost, lost at bottom of last page
Thinking of swapping Suarez to rvp for one week only with my ft and captaining rvp..
Then switching back next game week with other ft
I took Suarez out against Chelsea and city earlier in the year and was vindicated
It might seem wasted transfers but rvp should surely tear the basement club to shreds
I'm 39 points behind my leader as a further point
Madness or genius?
If I'm being mad please tell me!
@dialsquare I brought him back for 13.3 so 0.1 :pOpen Controls
39 not 2bad look at getting 5 10 pts on him every wk prob would save
Open Controls
Burner, Januzaj ---> Azpilicueta, Pozuelo -4pt
Looking to keep Azpi long term until GW31, Thoughts?Open Controls
Pozuelo is not nailed on..
Open Controls
Only just seen the news. Very harsh to sack Laudrup! Time to shift Bony?
Open Controls
Which striker combo to partner Suarez?
A. Negredo and Bony
B. Dzeko and Giroud
Looking to get one of the City strikers in tonight with prices rising but can't decide which combo to go for.Open Controls
I'd wait and hear some news from Pellegrini on Friday regarding Negredo fitness.
Open ControlsIs there likely to be any though? Given he played the Chelsea game, even if he's not fully fit I can't see Pellegrini ruling him out before the game altogether.
I do like to wait till Friday and I could still afford both then but Dzeko could be 0.2 more expensive then and team value's already an issue for me.Open ControlsNot sure but at this point in the season I'd just wait and screw TV. Not saying you should do the same but just what I would do.
Open Controls
I'm worried about Giroud, few harsh fixtures coming up and possible rotation risk.
Open Controls
Ozil>Mata for -4
Yea or nay?Open Controls
Open ControlsRepost from bottom of the page:
Lambert, Lallana and JRod average positions from Fulham game give some food for thought!Open Controls
Boruc
Baines Gabbidon Koscielny
Hazard Yaya Mata Mirallas
Negredo Suarez Giroud
Januzaj M.Olsson Chester
How do I look? Any glaring transfer??Open ControlsIf you haven't used your tranny yet I'd get rid of Giroud for JRod/Lambert but team looks good, doesn't warrant any hits.
Open ControlsDef no hits. Was thinking I may save.
How crap are Liverpool at the back?
I think Arsenal will score you know.Open ControlsThey could easily score but I still doubt it will be Giroud with his poor record outside of London. Regardless, saving is not a bad idea either although I would personally use it. (Either for Giroud or for Chester and bench Kosc)
Open Controls
Giroud>JRod
Open Controls
Ivanovic or Zabaleta for the next few gameweeks....???
Open Controls
Some help please, what to do to fix this:
Mannone, Marshall
Kolarov, Koscielny, Ward, CHESTER, VLAAR
Lallana, Hazard, Eriksen, JANUZAJ, Noone
Suarez, RvP, Giroud
1FT 0.6itb
Who is the most important to ditch ?
Thinking of:
A) Giroud & Januzaj -> Dzeko & Mirallas (-4) (have to get Dzeko tonight)
or
B) Giroud & Chester -> Dzeko & Azpi (-4)
Any other thoughts please ?Open ControlsA or jrod navas
Open Controls
Bench decision pick one Mata, Lallana, Silva, Hazard or Punch?
Open ControlsHelp me out plz Peebs only one I'm worried about not having is rvp so thinking a?
Mannone/boruc
Azpil gabbidion Evans/Coleman mertasack
Yaya mata carzola lallana/jedinak
Suarez sturridge bony-what was I thinking bony
A)sturridge carzola>rvp 5.4 sterling/zaha
B)carzola bony>silva dzeko
C)bony>dzekoOpen Controlsa with punch?
Open Controls
Ozil>Mata worth a hit?
Open Controls
Is Kosc to Cahill worth -4?
Would need to do it tonight to still be able to afford AJ to Lallana next weekOpen Controls
No imo
Open ControlsEven if it means no Lallana until I WC in a few weeks time?
Open ControlsThere's always another way if you want Lallana. Hits are all about gambling though finding an edge despite starting behind so most hits will get a no asking advice on here, defensive ones will always get a no. If you believe you've found that edge then back yourself
Open Controls
Why? Lallana is a much better option than Mirallas
Open Controls
no
Open Controls
Pringles fella, I'd play Bony and decide next week. Could work well though
Open ControlsWho are well all putting the armband on this week then?
Open ControlsHazar
Open ControlsLike the look of Hazard could have had a couple of assists on Monday but his team mates were crap at finishing the chances
Open ControlsTough one this week, Suarez always a solid option, Hazard's inconsistent with points and the City strikers are rotation risks.
Quite fancy a Lallana punt actually.Open Controls
RVP this week
Open ControlsRVP
Open Controls
Evening chaps. Thoughts on the best pairing? Also need to consider leading up to the blank. ManU don't have best run leading up to it but at home v Fulham is so tempting.
A. Mata+Dzeko
B. Mata+JRod
C. Lallana+Dzeko.Open Controlsguys how does this team look?
Mannone
Kolarov Azpi Ward
Hazard AJ Lallana Sterling
RVP (C) Suarez dzeko
bench ( Kosc gnabry chester)
0 in bank.
if i did this team i would be chasing a 43 point defecit but it looks good right?? and it would need to be done now. :SOpen Controls
Wayne Rooney has scored 7 in last 7 against Fulham
Open Controls
good point
Open Controls
still cant get over the lost to Chelsea. Kun Negredo Nasri Fernandinho, if they play, it would be a different game.
Open Controls'IF' Stop crying get over it, Not like you haven't spent enough on other players
IF IF IF IF IFOpen Controls😆
*chuckles*Open ControlsAs an arsenal fan and long time JM hater (bit strong maybe :P)
Chelsea were 1000x better then city on the night
I do not think they would have made much difference chelsea were in rampant form could easily have had 4 5 or 6Open ControlsIf Welbeck, Rafael, Jones and Januzaj didn't miss the penalties v sunderland they would have made the cup final
Open ControlsYou're right there is too many if's and butts in football people need to realise it doesn't come to what if am sure Chelsea have also had players out and lost it's football you can't win every game
Open Controlsand as you said, man city have spent millions. It's no excuse to say you have fernandino out, with the money spent and the squad assembled it should have played much better
bad management playing demechellis in midfield. Pellegrini has one flaw in that he has too much confidence in Demechellis. Why play him there when you have milner, garcia and even rodwell who can play there naturally?Open Controls
I think you definitely missed Fernandinho's legs in midfield, but fact is you got outplayed on the night.
Open Controls
cahill or mata going forward?
basically a bet on potential gol scoring of ivanovic (had 9 last yr)
or more baps & bonus potential for cahill it sems.
**yes , cahil also scores, but more times than not, it would sem ivan would score more.Open ControlsMannone
Azpi, Yoshida, Evans*
Haz, Silva, Mata, Eriksen
RVP (C), Suarez, Dzeko
Subs: JWP, Kosc, McShane
Would you do anything with this or just save the FT?Open ControlsFor who? Thinking Parr/Ward but it's literally just this GW that's good and they don't have a good home fixture for a while after that. Only alternative is Shaw but that's a double-up and I'm not sure how much I believe in Southampton defence.
Saving transfer will allow for potentially Eriksen downgrade and Evans to Cahill/Ivan or something like that.Open Controls
I kept 4m in the bank in my WC do I could split the S&S and drop Sturrigde for Van Persie before the Fulham game but I'm struggling to let Stur go ........ I think he could outscore VP between gw25-30
I could always go with just Mata for utd cover....... or else
(a) Sturridge --> VP
(b) Dzeko/Cazorla/Kompany --->VP/Nevas/Nastasic (I think Nastasic is nailed on for the next 5 games now that he is fit)
(C) Cazorla --> Silva (keep S&S and go with just Mata as utd cover)
What would you do? Anybody with a similar dilemma?Open ControlsAt the moment I'm SAS and Mata. Want RVP but can't afford so, might bring in Rooney for Sturridge. Can see a whopping score vs Fulham
Open ControlsThere's no way I'd get rid of Sturridge (if I had him) just because we have one juicy game this GW. For starters we're not very good and we haven't really beat anyone convincingly this season (why would that stop now?) and, even if we do, we have Arsenal away after that and soon after a blank.
Open Controls
Me too it a hard one would not get Rooney Fulham and c palace nice fix and prob cap ahhh
Open Controls
Sorry for the repost.
Should i take an extra hit to get yaya in, or should I go for the cheaper Silva.
Yaya appears to be scoring more and also appears to be more durable.
I really don't know what to do?Open Controlshaving watched the game last night Yaya will always outscore Slva and is probably worth the extra cash but everybody in my ML has Yaya so I don't gain anything by bringing him in (since i'm behind) so it probably depends on ifyou need to gamble............. also without AGUERO Silvas scoring potential deminishes in my mind and Yaya's grows due to peno's
