Paul We delve into the data from the previous Gameweek and beyond in our assessment of the main midweek protagonists. Tottenham’s clinical marksman, Liverpool’s faltering frontman and a pair of Villains come under analysis this evening, as do United’s off-form forward, the Swans’ Spanish creator and Newcastle’s shooting displays, with the Magpies now failing to score in each of the last four:
What if we get a draw from these two games on this weekend?
City vs Chelsea
Arsenal vs Liverpool
Does it mean we have to keep carrying our FT and can't plan the major part for GW29 yet?
We won't be able to plan properly until it is decided if the postponed games can be played midweek, for those not in CL/Europa.
those = only Liverpool 😉
🙂
The other games are somewhat important too 😉
😀 I understand, especially Noone, Mannone and Mirallas owners like me.
Luckily for Natster his concern are for those 4 teams only. 😛
Not just those four I do concern, but I think our money are heavily invested on players from those four and our FPL points mainly came from players from those four.. 🙂
Navas likely to be benched vs Stoke due to Nasri being back? Need to decide whether to move him out this week or save the ft and do it next week.
I imagine Nasri will be eased back in.

Community Round Up mention to those who do well. 🙂
Gouffran and Remy are back, Luuk DJ anyone? their fixtures are good and newcastle need goals right?
Will Luuk start now with Remy back? Do you think Pardew will run out the both of them and go 4-4-2?
gouffran - Luuk - remy ? that look promising to me
I would be a little nervous about putting Remy on the wing but they had to have a formation of this type in mind when they transferred in De Jong so what do I know. They couldn't have looked worse since they lost Cabaye so why not? They need Colo back desperately.
Avoid NEW imo. Still suffering from the trickle down effect after losing their best player.
Well yeah this is advisable, but it is still fun to speculate and think about what they will look like for the rest of the year 😉
I know 😀
Fantasy wise, the only player i'd consider is HBA, becaue he's a proven quality, explosive and peni duties. But atm he's not nailed on, out of form & we have a lot of other candidates in our midfield. Wish he's at a different team.
*because
*peno
😆
B'Arfa! 😯 "The Taarabt of the North East"? Not for me ta.
Of those, Gouffran......................... except I've just noticed FPL have him as a striker.
OK so, No Newcastle unless B'Arfa starts playing as if he's a footballer of some reputation and skill again.
Happy belated valentines day....
Anyone know the background music in the video??

thanks!!
I wish I knew he'd keep his place week-in week-out.

How's it looking? Hoping to keep all my "blankers" and just hope my other XI all start.
Looks really good Freddy. Only thing I would consider changing is Sterling v JRod. Gut call there - could have a reasonable argument for starting either. Definitely save your transfer. Hope there isn't a hurricane to feck up your GW 🙂
Cheers Walshy! Hoping there are no major injury concerns after the cup... Sterling vs J.Rod is a tough call. May end up fielding the latter just in case West Ham concede, Rodriguez may very we'll be involved 😀
Really and truly is a tough one that. Surely Pool will put up 3+ at home but Sterling is such a supplemental piece of their offense and so dependent on service he could easily blank. JRod sort of the opposite regarding his influence on his team's attack but couldn't really imagine them putting any more than 2 past the Hammers at home. Hope you make the right call.
Adrian (SOU)
Cahill (EVE) . Azpilicueta (EVE) . Collins (SOU) . Ward (MUN)
Bacuna (new) . Ince (MUN) . Hazard (EVE)
Suarez -vc- (SWA) . Sturridge -c- (SWA) . Adebayor (nor)
Subs: Mannone (ars) . Lallana (whu) . AJ (ars) . Bennett -inj- (TOT)
ITB: 1.9
2 FT
A bit unsure of what to do, any ideas?
Play lallana would be a good start.
Strikers/Forwards against Newcastle in recent games
GW24 Borini 11 pts
GW25 Hazard 21 pts, Eto'o 10 pts
GW26 Ade 16 pts
Next up for Newcastle is Aston Villa.
Now we know who to get for GW27...
Just as well I already have him 😉
I went for Ade this week 🙁
*games that remy miss
Maybe he can change the complexion of the game a bit, but they still concede.
Weimann will return to starting this GW then.
Very cheap @5.8m. 🙂
Was a massive differential last year, when everybody went with the Beast. Risk it if you want.
Have you any idea how he has played in the last few NABIL? I've not seen the games.
Me neither. Never played the full 90 minutes in the last 4, and only a sub in the last game. I'd avoid.
But I can recall he forced a great save from Marshall. So he's taking a fair amount of shots like usual 😛
I think I'll swerve him, got him in after his injury (the first one) and wasted a valuable striker spot for a number of weeks, which started the rot for my season.
I blame Benteke. 😡
evening DZ, does anyone knoe when the Sunderland game will be replayed?
Only news we have on replays from last week's two postponed are that Everton expect to announce their replay with Palace this coming week.
Ok. I had a look and this are my wishful FA CUP results on this weekend.
> Sunderland to beat Southampton .. CPL vs SOU green to go on GW29
> A cupset. Cardiff lost to Wigan .. CAR vs FUL to be played
> Man City won over Chelsea .. CHE vs TOT to be played
> Everton lost to Swansea .. NEW vs EVE to be played
> Arsenal lost to Liverpool .. Just that I’m a pool supporter. 😉
How likely will it be -- x of 5 ?
Sunderland beating Southampton and Swansea beating Everton seem unlikely from that lot
You missed the BIG one. Who for that?
City to beat Chelsea
Pool to beat Arsenal or at least draw. Don't see an Arsenal win here with eyes on Europe midweek
All are likely to happen, except the last one 😉
On a serious note, all results you mention are favourable to most FPL players - i'm sure not all will happen. I hope you're right on every occasion except for the first (Mannone owner and no Soton) and last prediction (SaS here!).
Arsenal should lose this match for their own sake. Or at least play seriously second squad. If they give 70+ minutes to Öz and Groo, that tells just that they are determined to lose to Bayern.
And frankly, I think they have a chance against Bayern. Wenger is traditionally difficult to Pep, and Arsenal beat Ribéry-less Bayern last season. Victory in the first match, and they've got all chances.
Sunderland - Southampton, less likely. I can see Southampton aiming to win the Cup as their only chance to any title, and they're significantly better than Sunderland.
Everton lost to Swans... not. I wish that too, but unfortunately can't see it happening. Cardiff needs victories, probably will be difficult.
I think so that Arsenal should put Bayern on top of this week priority and try to win the first game. The line-up tomorrow should tell us more for how Wenger thinks.
I have not thought about Southampton's target, but I feel you are probably right here. The clash of City v Chelsea and Arsenal v Liverpool just make it better for Southampton's chance to trophy. They should field their strongest team and try to win.
I'm still being hopeful for the Swans to win probably by new manager's effect.
Cardiff ... You never know which Wigan will come to the field on any week. They can do anything.
Nolan, Punch. Adam for short term fix. Just spend a bit and get Lallana or mirallas.
Ya..i can see that..i was up a little earlier today..4 hours ago..and just a page has moved.
I am good.Hoping to continue my recent form.You?
Glad to hear you have been on the up recently. I have sadly faced 3 straight reds...so hoping to reverse my recent form. The two postponed games completely destroyed my GW sadly. Oh well! Turn the page and look forward to next weekend 😉
Ya, my decision to go with no City cover and to hold on to Kosc really helped. I hade a huge boost in the rankings last couple of weeks. If i had done well the first month i would have surely had a really good rank now. Oh well,maybe next season.

Hey ILF. Who is the manager of the team "The Avengers" ?
I don't know Blue Lion, sorry, can't help. I shall interrogate him when I see him hanging around.
What's he done?
Evening gents
If Pool had a blank in GW29, would you keep Rooney or still ship for Sturridge?
Next 5:
Rooney: cry, blank, wba, LIV, DGW
Sturridge: SWA, sou, blank, mun, TOT
Cheers, I just feel the second I sell Rooney he's gunna bang in a brace..
Would you be able to use your transfer on each to avoid benching them? If Pool blank in 29 you will have to keep Suarez due to potential huge loss of value and seems a bad job to bench Sturr also. Can you transfer Rooney out in 28 for a lad and then transfer Sturr out in 29 for a different lad? Should be able to keep a 3-4-3 formation followed by a 4-4-2 for those weeks I reckon?
TBH Acqua I'd get rid of Rooney if Utd had the only game that week home to Fulham.
OK, maybe that was the tiniest of exaggerations, but you get my drift.
😛
RIP Sir Tom Finney, a great player and a great man who will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.
"To dictate the pace and course of a game, a player has to be blessed with awesome qualities.
"Those who have accomplished it on a regular basis can be counted on the fingers of one hand - Pele, Maradona, Best, Di Stefano, and Tom Finney." Sir Stanley Matthews
Indeed a great player.
Any chances Deulolfeu will start in GW28???
Amazing that my 2 transfers last week brought in 6 and 15 points, yet my 63 point mini league lead was cut to 5 points. 101 points was just a ridiculous score last week!
What's next?
Always know you're planning ahead so... 😉
What transfers you looking at?
Was hoping to save to have 2 freebies for the GW28 blanks as I think my team looks ok this week (assuming Terry returns). Whatcha reckon?
Szczesny(SUN)
Terry(EVE), Kolarov(STO), Demel(SOT)
Hazard(EVE), Silva(STO), Lallana(whu), Mirallas(che)
Suarez(SWA), Sturridge(SWA), Benteke(new)
Davis, Puncheon, Whittaker, B Davies
Bank 0.1m, 1 freebie
Very unlucky Jins.
Nothing you can do about last minute cancellations Jinswick. Very unlucky to come upagainst that.
My money ML leader had the same luck, the jammy swine.
5 hours until deadline....
4 games with FA Cup scores counting here, You TM?
hey bl where are you from also morning acqua
If WHam have a game in GW 29, who is the better AJ replacement.?
Nolan or Adam?
Tripling up on SS Gerrard a little too much?
Rather have Nolan over Adam in the battle of the old men.
Given Liverpool's strong fixtures upcoming and Stevie's consistency can't see how tripling (doubling - everyone owns #7) is too much. Only thing is that with City having a deluge of DGWs coming up you may be better off going with Silva or someone instead.
Morning bishes.
I miss Tina.
seems to have had a mid-season crisis.
Solid climb last 3 GWs
LR mate 😀
Ello there FG. How be things?
Did check the scores in the morning. Upper hand. Should kill the kiwis and make this position count now.
Mata to Mirallas after this GW???
Wait for the cup games.Anyhow , i wouldn't do that .
Well Mata is gonna have a blank after this GW and they even play city nd liverpool later ....on the other side mirallas seems to have quite good 4-5 next games
Newcastle have only scored 3 goals in the last 8 games, and all 3 goals were only against West Ham. Do we fancy another clean sheet for his opponent up next? AVL?
Adrian
Ivanovic - Kos - Ward - Baker - Chester(!)
Hazard - Mata - Silva - Eriksen(!) - Noone
Suarez - Rooney - Adebayor
1FT, 1.8 banked.
Depending on results, what would you do with this team?
Open to taking a hit.
Mannone other GK
Eriksen the obvious problem there. Rest looks fine. I have Lallana to your Eriksen and Studge to your Roo.
Haz Mata Silva Lallana Ince
Suarez Studge Ade
looks like the idealish position to be in.
Wait for the results obviously.
i also got F****** rooney before FUL, im holding but i have sturridge its a bit tricky for you then. you're gonna have to wait and see what happens with fa cup results. if liverpool are playing gw 29 go rooney to studge.definitely ship eriksen this week,
If Remy has a game in GW 29, does anyone else fancy a punt on Remy, atleast until Aguero is back fit?
Have you seen NEW lately? No way for me.
Reply fail king 😛
Hamlet on ITV 3, Laterz.
Any chance for City TGW?
They would rather space it out.
cant see it, would be sick though.
would be sick to see yaya in every team
it actually will happen when you said yes,
I ask the other day that any chance for ward to not play, you said Yes and boom suddenly game off
