After kicking off our series of Big Numbers articles with a look at the best performing Defenders over the first three Gameweeks, we now move further up the pitch. This time round we focus on midfielders, with a trio of summer signings all showing plenty of promise in their new surroundings.
Any chance we could see Costa on the bench vs Swansea with a CL clash to follow next week?
Possible..What would you do in Mourinho's shoes ?
Well he now has Remy. I can see that happening at stages this year where he starts Costa on the bench.
I'm sure he wouldn't want to play Remy straight away but on the other hand you can be certain he won't want Costa as a long term injury...
It's only Schalke.
No.
My.
81 points on europa qualifiers fantasy with Olic to go.
What you guys on?
Is there a ffs league for it? If so whats the code?
Finally whats the meaning of life?Well done.
Drugs.
Not sure, not playing.
Sex. Lots of it.42
71,dzeko,mandzukic,sahlilovic.bale and rudnevs to go
don't think so
* 93 with Bale, Mandzukic and Pjanic to go. Would have been 2 higher but I picked the wrong Lithuanian defender. Can't complain though, surprised I even made a team at all. 😛
* There's this unofficial league 1208736-582414
* I'll get back to you on that one.well done
Hi guys, how are we all?
Any price risers tonight or just Rooney falling?Moreno, Clyne.
You said that last night 😉
Sorry. Regurgitating. But they do look the most likely.
Would be annoyed if Moreno rise, seems like he has another day at least.
There'll be three times as many fallers as risers. Bookmark.
It's usually 4 or 5 times.
I am the Oracle.
I am the Walrus ...
You are the Ape-man.
Goo goo gu chu.....or something like that 😆
Nearly!!! 😀
tadic, lamela or chadli as
That order
Evening chums. How goes it?
Goes well. And you?
Pleased with the England result. That is the first big step towards qualification.
Aye. Should be a breeze from here.
repost
Is Davis Forde n1 for Ireland now?
Not sure Loco but most people on here won't care as it's not ffl related
usually a few irish around here
Maybe repost it as a question. With words.
number one goal keeper
He has been since Given retired. Given back but Forde still No 1
cheers!
Ah. It won't surprise you to hear that I don't know.
Forde is STILL number one. Given is cover.
thanks
As Cheeseoid says "Evening", I say good night. Sleep well!
Goodnight
RMWCT if you don't mind...
Mannone/Krul
Ivanovic/Alderweirweld/Naylor/Dummett/Shawcross
Sigurdsson/Sterling/Schneiderlin/Ramsey/Zaha
Welbeck/Aguero/Costa
Thanks very much in advanceDoes that team fit on one page?
Oh, God. Not you too? 🙂
GREAT TEAM. 9/109/10? Seriously?
Yep.
You should have seen the sorry mess that I had. Cheers.
Alderweireld is far from nailed on. Clyne and Bertrand much better options.
Dummett looks like he lost his place, get another 4m def (Wisdom or Moore?).
Would really want to upgrade Schneiderlin too.Wisdom is a dodgy pick now..Gamboa playing a behind closed doors friendly to check out his fitness...Lescott as well...
Sorry, but imo, this is actually poor advice.
And IMO most of your advice given here is poor.
Well, we will agree to differ, then.
But I don't give out stuff that will lead to a weakened team.Your ranking history suggests you do.
Really. And yours ... ?
Mine is way better than yours mate, believe it or not. I have good reasons not to display it, sorry. But a guy who never managed to achieve top 50k saying that my advice leads to weakened teams is just embarrassing...
If you're gonna have a go at someone's history make sure you at least have some
Cheers, Nate. 😉
This.
See my reply above, please.
I know you like schniederlain and his stats may be good from the last game but there is no way he'll continue scoring with the role he has in the team. Just a one off game imo
Agree about the rest though
Perhaps, there is always that risk.
But I think that he is a seriously good player.
.1 available for Clyne. Schneiderlin looks justifiable at the minute. Not sure if there's anyone worth stretching to.
Reckon Alderweirdyweld is a shoe in for centre half, I'd be very surprised if he wasn't.
Absolutely.
He might be, but is it really worth the risk? Why not just have Clyne or Bertrand who are already settled and nailed on and also offer decent attacking potential...
These.
Moore instead of Dummet.
Arfield instead of Schneiderlin
Elliot instead of mannone
7/10
If Jones is out, who to get for 4.7m:
A) PVA
B) Wilson (have Bego as well)
Would especially need them for GWs 4 and 6.Naylor, PvA or Schlupp.
I need them for GWs 4 and 6. Naylor plays Chelsea and Sunderland away then...
Why have you only 4.7m?
Because I'm downgrading Jones to upgrade Eriksen to Sterling with my 2 FTs.
a
PvA is the obvious pick imo, I'm not convinced Wilson will hold that spot, tempting that he is.
Better keep Lovren. I feel.
CB is less rotated and has more chance to score and get baps.Zaha looks good for a price rise 😯
No!! Mustn't!!
Already 😕
How many goals do we think Eto'o will score this season?
8-10
Six
7
Begovic (H) (Myhill)
Clyne (H) Debuchy Pieters
Mata (H) Eriksen Ramsey(H) Sigurdsson (A) Coutinho (H)
Rooney(H) Costa(H) Naismith(A)
(Myhill, Wisdom, Hutton)
1 FT, any ideas?Personally I would do Mata to Sterling
Is MNF on sky? NYG @ Detroit Lions
I'm sure you can find a stream somewhere.
Mata to Sterling, yay or nay?
Yay. Must be safe now
Damn everyone asked that two weeks ago..
I think anyone selling Mata this GW is mad.
Sterling does look, however a great option for this GW.
Certainly not for a hit, is my advice.
Isn't there a good chance he won't start?
I would call it a small chance. Falcoa may start on bench more likely, imo.
I think it's FFS herd mentality selling Mata on the chance he may be benched.
VG has made no indication that this will happen. Maybe he will during his presser, but i doubt it very much.
Mata has scored (iirc) 8 goals in the last 9 games as CAM. I may be completely wrong, but there is no way I am selling. 🙂
*yea
Thinking about doing rooney to aguero after chelsea match, thoughts?
WAIT
Until after CHE match or longer?
Problem with waiting is Aguero form is good and his a safer option than falcao or balotelli,Not to mention already 0.1 Price rise
\i would do it before the Chelsea game and get Aguero v west ham instead. If he is still fit
Balotelli or Rooney for the next two game weeks?
Roonpig, sadly.
I am toying with the idea with Balottell myself
Right. Zzz time ... thanks, all! Domani. 😀
Hasta la banana
Night
Have both Costa and hazard as doubts but still want to do Mata -> Sterling. Would you do it now (I have Siggy as first sub so still pretty satisfied if one of them doesn't play) or wait to make sure at least one can play.
Or just do Hazard -> Sterling/Fabregas?Are these on FTs?
1 FT
If you have only 1 transfer then get sterling
but would you do it now to not risk price changes or wait until either Hazard or Costa is confirmed fit?
I would wait especially with price rises virtually non-existent this year
Grrr was planning on playing Jones this GW. What's the latest?
Looks like a grade 1 or 2.
Didn't look in too much discomfort whilst coming off but I did notice him grimace/ gesture to the physio as the sub was made.
Wait for news, doesn't look great for this w/e.
Jovetic and Dier doubftul. De Jong out.
Feck. I might have to take a hit. But I fecking hate hits.
What has happened to Dier??
bandwagon lost it's wheels I reckon. seems that a few are selling.
coloccini jovetic mata > moreno welbeck sterling?
No brainer.
for a -8, or is it best to do a -4 and hold back on coloccini to moreno?!
I'd be tempted to just do Mata to Sterling and then wait. Welbeck v Man City isn't great. What's your bench?
This would make a great grav...
http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/77463000/jpg/_77463746_023814356-1.jpgyou could that into a great Vitruvian man with a little work.
Yeah, good idea... 😀
Sturridge -> Balotelli for a hit?
other forwards are Costa and Falcao... :SNot at this stage. He is not confirmed out yet
that's good news I guess. Thanks 😉
I've been tinkering away on my WC for far too long tonight. Thoughts on this final draft (for tonight at least!)
Krul / Elliot
Ivan / Lovren / PVA / Naylor / Moore
Siggy / Stirling / Fab / Ramsey / Zaha
Aguero / Costa / NaismithLooks nice. 🙂
Finally... Someone not kneejerking Moreno over Lovren...
Reckon we'll find out Costa news tomorrow?
Prob not until Chels press conf (thu/ fri?)
I think we won't find out at all like last time
'Diego Costa has been passed fit for Everton.'
My concern isn't if he'll start or not.
I'm more worried about him starting and the injury recurring.
It's putting me off captaining him for sure.If he's given the all clear, certain captain for me.
Risky
Which of these options would make you sleep better at night if they were on your team?
A. a defense with Ivanovic, Clyne, Moreno
B. a strike force of Aguero, Costa, Welbeck?B all the way. Ivanovic historically hasn't scored much more than the other Chelsea defenders and it will revert to normal soon. The other 2 are nothing special either just above average so far.
Although the injury proneness of the forwards you have there could be a concern I guess.ta
A. because of injury concerns
Schneiderlin or Larsson
Costa or aguero
Costa (cheaper)
A) haz aguero
B) silva costa
