We delve into the Gameweek 5 data this evening in our first members article of the week. Wayne Rooney’s new role for United comes under analysis, as do Burnley and Leicester’s displays up front, whilst a couple of north London-based frontmen are also placed under the microscope after their contrasting weekend performances.
Di maria (WHM)
or
Hazard (AVL)?
ADM IMHO
Sheep or Scout?
Sheep.
😀 biased opinion!
I don't like to pigeon-hole myself 🙂
Di maria for me - He looks lethal.
and when u watch the match u always feel like he is going to do something. I don't always get that from hazard.
Having said that hazard is due a decent haul and villa don't look the same without ron-crete
Harsh on Hazard. Always looks like he might do something?
Hazard & aguero are going to literally explode with points this week. I predict they'll get a combined 30+ points 🙂
Hazard this week
Get both, god damnit!
Hazard. I am.
You are a hazard?
lol. I was going to ask your opinion on this very thing given your stats. I wanted a differential so stuck in Haz over Fabs. Madness Doos or do you think it could work out? Haz to a while to find his feet last season then went nuts
What's the deal with Zaha? Not going to be a regular starter?
There's a player who plays for Ipswich called Mings. Hehehehe
I prefer Mee
Big head 😉
A or B?
A. Barbeque chicken pizza
B. Cheese burger & chips
Hard to say without prices.
b
B
Barbeque chicken burger & chips. If not possible, then B.
Aguero.
tadic worth holdin onto?
For 1 gameweek, unless you can upgrade to dim or chelsea mids
cant at the mo........ but tadic is disappointing me
He's playing well if that helps....
cheers, it does
Am debating him or Pelle -- I went for Tadic two weeks ago and it has been a bummer so far.
Tough given he hasnt exploded yet at that price. I'd hold, one more week
Certainly, imo.
I have Rooney but want to get rid of him. I already have Pellè & Costa.
Suggestions?Keep him for a week more at least
Pills. Not blue ones tough.
If you've got ADM, you certainly don't need rooney. I just sold Balotelli for Ulloa to free up funds for some GW8 plans.
I'd keep him.
I would have kept him but am on WC. He can still produce in that deeper role, imo.
keep for the home game, then panic
Get rid, imo.
Kun
I'm keeping for one more week then trading him out for Kun. Plan plan plan
Ulloa or Welbeck, both likely to keep pace with Rooney. Gives extra funds for rest of the team
A bojan+mata to siggy and Ulloa for free
B mata+rooney+bojan to pelle+ADM+ulloa for -4Don't do this often but have a free transfer and unsure where to use it
Forster Krul
Moreno, Clyne, Pieters, Trippier, Schlupp
Fabregas, ADM, Sterling, Siggy, Zaha
Falcao Ulloa Pelle
Concerned about zaha and schlupps game timeDiego Costa is slightly essential
What's your rank? (I'm not being narky, just curious!)
My team is linked on my profile page....but if you must feel the need to publicise it.....around the 700k mark. Having a bit of a mare and I put it down to not having or captaining Costa enough. Amongst other things....
Hmm yeah I could have been higher if I just got costa too. Tried to be logical about it and he was yellow flagged twice...
I'd be concerned about the lack of Diego Costa...
I'm with Parm.
Up to 40k and haven't owned him yet this season.
I do believe he is fairly essential but think I can do without selection and hamstring headaches.
If teams get stuck into him like city did then he might struggle. And definitely looks a red card candidate. Obviously I appreciate he could explode but just looking at the flip side
thats my optimistic take on it too
Think how much higher you would be if you had him
Tried to be logical, he was yellow flagged twice.
Yellow flag = managers playing mind games. Only if it's a red flag should you have a cause for concern!
Is Trippier worth having. Swap for Duff
Repost from old article:
3-5-2 RMWCT
Heaton Gilks
Baines Clyne Chambers Moore Wisdom
Hazard ADM Sterling Tadic Siggy
Costa Lukaku 4.9m (would have been Jutkiewicz, could be Vardy)
I'd always envisioned two premium priced forwards in this formation but I don't love Aguero's price and am giving the MUN forwards some time to sort themselves out. Any thoughts appreciated.
Not overly keen, think you need some city with the upcoming fixtures
Thanks for the reply. Have been wondering about them as well.
Anyone know why Wenger didn't play Sànchez this weekend? Rotation risk? Özil better option?
Injured in warm up?
Rested
Should start next GW then. Cheers!
When do the memberships become a tenner? I've asked the mrs for one for Christmas also can she gift me one? Cheers
Pre-season....
Sorry ment £12.50
Feb maybe
If you're a united fan are you thinking of switching to:
A) city
B) Liverpool
C) Guildford town (for easy access on match days)
Are u serious? Being real fan mean u won't give up from your club even if your club is relegated to 7th league. I am not from England,I am from Serbia and City is in my heart and I won't ever stop to support them, no matter what happen.
Hear hear, Dusan, that's how it should be.
That was joke, chill 🙂
I was indeed only joking Dusan 😉 about united fans being from Surrey
But I admire your passion!
Don't be silly, else I will cut you down with my lightsaber, again.
I should have left you in Naboo
Good comeback 🙂
You must be the most bandwagon fan there is
Gotta laugh at these who think you can change football clubs
So I have two FTs, need to use at least one, would you remove either of moreno or balo?
(for whom)
Forster Mccarthy
Pieters clyne moreno (moore naylor)
Adm fabs sterling siggy 9boyd)
BALO costa pelle
2FT, 1.2You should do Balo>Welbeck just so we can have virtually identical teams. Lots of dough in the bank for Kun, defensive upgrade or a 5th mid later. I like the flexibility.
BTW, the masses have suggested starting Naylor over Moreno for GW6 (in response to my inquiries on this board).
Hi guys think I'm settled on this team for this gw
Please rate 1-10. Thanks
http://imgur.com/gPS5Tti9
What a team :O All your benchers could easily start and deliver nice points
It's good. 8/10.
8.263
Looks tasty if not a little template
Absolutely dreadful. If you've still got your wildcard I would play it immediately.
Come on fella, you know it's a good team!7
Krul and terry have not been playing that well
not Krul
I would play wisdom over Peters. the tide is turning on newcastle and wba imo
Mannone Krul
Ivan Rose Wilson Wisdom Yoshida
Fab Sterling ADM Chadli Siggy
Costa Roney Ulloa
0.2 in the bank anything desperately needed?
RMT please
hazard or costa i mean
Costa
Falcao
costa
what to do with Naismith seems to have gone off the boil and gametime looks questionable, will he fall in price this week??
Benching in a 3-5-2.
same here
who are your mids? the famous 5? cesc siggy sterling, ramsey, adm ?
He'll still get game time, Everton just had/have lots of fixtures the past two days (Europa this past Thursday, then CP Sunday, and League Cup tomorrow). Reckon he's secure until Barkley's back. I wouldn't play him, but Roberto played a lot of bench guys this week.
when is barkley back?
Supposed to be out for at least a couple more months, last I read.
thanks, but my 5th mid is King(leicester)?? would you play him?
Over King yeah. Not saying Naismith is a bad choice (I'm an Evertonian so I'm biased anyways), just saying I don't have him in my team is all.
who do you think will score more in gw6, costa or remy?
hopin costa
Costa
Costa.....y?
Remy, think Costa may actually be rested, its going to be a hard Captain choice again
^ Don't listen to him, he bet against the Seahawks at home. 😉
😀 it very nearly paid off, would have been a great comeback
What do you think to this lot then? Worth taking a hit to improve?
Bego 4.0
Baines Moreno Moore Naylor Clyne
Fab Siggy Sterling Tadic Boyd
Pelle Costa Rooney
1m ITB.Only thing I'd ask is why have both Tadic and Pelle? Also Pool's D is in shambles right now but it might be worth giving Moreno a few more weeks after the derby this week
Looking for a cheap (>5.6) midfielder for the next few GWs to help me afford an upgrade. Which one would you pick?
A. Downing + 0.1m
B. Larsson + 0m
C. Moses + 0.1m
D. Quinn + 1m
E. Other
Thanks!Noble,Larsson or Downing 🙂
Downing out of that bunch. Diamé's also looked pretty lively for Hull.
Pelle rising tonight?
Dunno, ask his missus.
lolol
Hope so, just put him
Ask his Mrs
worth doing rambo to sterling for free?
can find a place for sterling at the mo 😕I would, don't think Ramsey will score so freely this year
Is this a good move(next week): hendo,Silva and naismith --> marney, sterling and welbeck?
If so my team will look like this:
Krul Mannone
Clyne Pieters Taylor Wisdom Vlaar
Sterling Fab Ramsey Siggy Marney
Costa Aguero Welbeck
Thoughts?
Aguero and Ramsey or
Falcao and Hazard
CheersA
I predict a Ramsey goal and assist this week in the customary high scoring NLD and everyone who dumped him this week scrambling about to get him again
Aguero: nothing more needed to be saidCheers
So is Rooney > Welbeck and Rambo > Di Maria the trendy thing to do this week?
What's everyones 'real' team value(remove every player and see how much you've got ITB)?
£100.5m here.100.9
100.4
Points far more important though 🙂
0.4 extra
100.7
100.6
101.
😯
I always keep an eye on stuff. 😉
100.7
£100.00 😀
101.
£101
101.2m
101.6m
sorry typo. 100.6
Considering getting rid of Moreno for Lescott. Pool cannot defend to save their lives.
well weeks 7-9 they do have really good chances for clean sheets if not then i would get rid week 10
A move ...
Would rather Wisdom, Lescott's not a 'value' pick in my book.
You don't think he has that attacking threat no more then?
Why is everyone nice to babies?
you are obviously not a father
It's an evolutionary thing, they carry the power of our genetic code
And also are you suggesting not being nice to babies?Strange.....
What a strange comment to make.
weirdo
costa and aguero will be rested or what?
Or what
Nah.
Aguero might not play the 90, but Pellegrini can't afford to drop any more points just now; has to start his best XI
Moreno and caulker to chambers and shaw for free
Yes or no?No. Shaw???
This this this this this
It's his big chance to impress next week, he's surely nailed on against West Ham.
Who gives a feck?
Feck is my new favourite word.
Still think he could do well, but I guess the smart money is just caulker to chambers.
Thanks as always
Are you Shaw mate?
Guaranteed a start against West Ham, and he'll be keen to impress and earn his place
LVG: "I think that Shaw shall be fit enough to play" = guaranteed?
No Jones, Evans, or Blackett = guaranteed
I agree that he probably will but the manager said the above after yesterday's game.
Yeah I think I read that too, think he also said it was a thin selection.
Either way, as I said to your other comment, you're probably right to leave him out.
and no clean sheer either
This 😀
I'd be swapping him for Moreno, so it's about attacking returns as opposed to clean sheets
Caulker to Chambers yes.
The other one is crazy.You might be right, cheers
I don't think bringing Shaw in is CRAZY. He's surely a punt, and a risky one at that, but if you like that kind of thing it could pay off. He'll certainly play if fit and Man U will turn it at some point. They have to (though I hope they don't. It's quite fun to watch).
That said I'd stick with Moreno since he's in 100% nailed and has some attacking returns to his name. Fixtures are better than Man U and you're not banking on Shaw living up to his chance to impress. Now if you could go Caulker to Shaw I'd say go for it, but I doubt that.Think you're right, it's a sideways move just for the sake of it
Shaw might look good or whatever but the fact is United's defence is a car crash. He needs a whole defence to be at it to get the returns. His attacking returns won't be fantastic enough to compensate. He's no Baines or Ivan.
I wish I could afford Baines or ivanovic 🙂
United defence is awful, but so is Liverpool, maybe not as bad, but unlikely to be putting strings of clean together anytime soon, so either Moreno or shaw would be there for attacking potential.
Am I as wrong about this as gibbs?But defenders first port of call for points should be their CS potential - a much more reliable source of points. Attacking returns are not a defender's priority.
Liverpool have looked utterly lost on D so far but they haven't really had that great of fixtures. List coming up is promising + attacking returns = keep Moreno
Maybe, but in recent years you see full backs, wing backs so high up the pitch you have to consider the attacking threat from a FPL view, ivanovic average position against Man City was on the half way line, Moreno against West Ham was another example.
I have Clyne, and PVA in my team with this more in mind that saints, and Sunderland clean sheets, no offence 🙂
