Our first members article of the week delves into the data of the nine matches played out so far. A number of forwards come under assessment this evening, with Liverpool, United and West Ham’s new frontmen all analysed, whilst we also take a look at City’s resurgent Bosnian, Chelsea’s midfield and Swansea’s worrying lack of impact in the final third.
A) aguero Erikson
B) dzeko di Maria
Tough. Probably B
Aguero + Tadic?
This is better
You don't want Eriksen. Matter of time until he's dropped.
Not Eriksen. I think he'll come good at some point this season but he doesn't look like doing it right now.
I gotta keep Balotelli, right?
I feel like he's picked up 2 jammy assists and been close to zero threat in the last couple of games. But those fixtures!?!
Yeah, will be easy to sell if he keeps flopping.
What do you mean?
I dunno, mate. I'd be trying to offload him I think even though as you mention their fixtures are brightening. He simply hasn't returning points worth his price.
Don't get rid. He's getting better and Sturridges return should give him more space
He's shockingly bad.
Only keep if you other transfers to make. With sturridge coming back he won't even start all of next 3 imo
Take a look below...
Front 7
ADM, Siggy, Silva, Fabregas, Sterling
Pelle, Costa, (Lee)
Is it worth transferring Lee to Sakho for a -4 and dropping a mid? Help!no not for a hit...
no
never
Probably not. You might get a return from Sakho, but would it be 4 more than one of those mids could deliver?
I'm gonna do Ramsey>Downing, unless anyone has any better suggestions otherwise?
Downing has been playing very very well. Puncheon and Tadic could also be consider
Cheers will have a look at puncheon. Already have Tadic since gw3
Really not backing Punch as a fantasy prospect in any capacity. As long as Jedi McArthur and Ledley are starting for us in midfield we don't have enough creativity to be free-flowing enough in the opponent's half to bring Punch back on the radar. He has looked pretty good on the ball and when we have been building up from the right but he hasn't been getting too many great goal scoring chances and neither have Palace been doing so from open play in general.
Since Puncheon returned in GW 3 Palace have scored 8 goals in 4 games and Puncheon has scored 22 FPL points (or 5.5 ppg).
He's on a lot of set pieces and the fixtures are terrible. Palace been playing well form were I sit.All fair facts, but I don't think he is a good FPL option! More of a 5th mid at the moment than a 4th for me, as much as I love him.
I've come to the conclusion that I won't be investing in him. He's more expensive than downing but has worse stats, as well as immediate fixtures. His only really good fixture is Sunderland at home which is weeks away.
just throwing options out there:
Gerrard, Silva, OzilSurely not Ozil. If you're gonna offer Arsenal mid it's Cazorla.
Ozil is nailed even with Ramsey/Jack/Arteta/Walcott/Sanchez in, Cazorla is not. Caz could be a good short term punt though.
with ramsey and wilshere out he will have more room to control the midfield...last two games have shown an upturn in form...also ozil is nailed, santi isn't 🙂
Cheers. I've considered Gerrard, solid pick but I think Downings price just takes it for me. Two great fixtures coming up after which he can sit on my bench.
I'm not connived Silva has enough FPL end product, and Ozil is so unpredictably bad at times. From a 9.0 I don't want potential points, I want clockwork, like Fabregas or Sterling
Approved. 🙂
Appreciate the early release of the big numbers article. Always thought it should be on Sunday. Hope this is the new release time
Would we not miss the MNF game as being included in the analysis?
On wildcard. Really want my Costa, Sturridge, Aguero frontline! Can do it and still have a decent side! The extra cash from choosing Dzeko over Aguero though could be a nice security blanket for getting in Walcott or whoever or if someone gets injured I don't know what to do.....
You dont need all 3.
Pick 2 of them, get Pelle, Welbeck, Jelavic, Ulloa or alike in the 3rd spot and bloster than midI know but it looks so nice ha. I can still get this team what do you think?
Mannone
Clyne, Reid, Naylor, Hutton, Duff
Fabregas, Sterling, Siggy, Chadli, Boyd
Aguero, Costa, Sturridge .3itb
That looks fairly decent no Arsenal or Everton though and their fixtures look the best
I can live without the Everton players atm not really on the way form. Arsenal mid either Walcott or cheaper Ramsey will come in after gw8 then..
Yeah fair enough then. Looks good
Cheers. I didn't even need to play my wildcard kind if regretting it already feel like iv been doing ok consistent and this could send me plummeting or soaring through the ranks
Yeah your team looked alright. Nothing a hit wouldnt fix up anyways, but then again. You got a few injuries and if you were planning to WC soon, why not sure it when your big guns have gone down.
It looks good but I would favour only 2 big ticket items up top. Just my opinion. Whatever you do make up your own mind. You gotta like your own team i reckon
Ya thanks for the input. I can go Aguero Costa Pelle which is what I currently have until I hear more on Sturridge anyway. My leagues with my mates is kinda ending up with us all having similar players especially forwards.
Just make sure one of them is Costa. Great value out there plus form and fixtures.
It's too much. I prefer Sterling in my team over Sturridge and it saves you money. I know the "coverage" idea isn't great but Sterling has been super involved and I think he's the one to have.
I have sterling also but would swap for Walcott when/if he hits form when he returns for arsenal coverage then?
I will definitely have Walcott but I'll keep Sterling unless he turns to shit
You could go for it. There are quite decent mid price midfielders, and the expensive ones are not that good like last season (i.e. Yaya, Haz).
Asked earlier, but pages go by so quick post-game that very few people see:
Which do you prefer?
1: Aguero with a defence of Clyne, Naylor and Bertrand (or another less than 5.3m defender) (means activating wildcard)
or
2: Ulloa with a defence of Ivanovic, Baines and Clyne
(for -4)
In both cases the other strikers would be Costa and Pelle.Save the WC for when you need it
option 2 for minein 2 what transfers would you be doing? and how much would you have in the bank after doing said transfers? 🙂
+1.0m ITB at the minute.
I'd be bringing Pelle in for Rooney and shipping Chester. Who I ship Chester to depends on where I go long term.
If I ship him to Moore, rather than Baines, then the following week I could ship Ivan to Bertrand and switch Ulloa to Aguero. I also need to switch JWP to Boyd either this week or next.
Or if I give up on the idea of bringing in Aguero I would switch Chester to Baines.
Basically, if I'm prepared to take a -8 the following week (or -8 this week and -4 next week) I could get to Aguero and Pelle, with the Bertrand replacing Ivan, but keeping the wildcard intact.ah I see - 2 for sure then bud 🙂
Like A but not at the cost of your WC. Go with B.
2 for sure
Thanks for the replies guys. It's interesting, when I asked earlier I didn't put the points/wildcard implications in, and most people went 1 then. Now I include the fact it will mean burning the wildcard most people like 2.
Quick RMT seeing as I've (unwisely) made my transfers for the week?
Krul Gilks
Clyne Duff Moore Taylor PvA
Cesc Siggy ADM Sterling Jedniak
Aguero Costa Pelle
ha nice one, my wild card team is very similar except I have:
Pelle --> Uolla
Moore --> Azpelnice team bud - only krul is a worry 🙂
bench jedinak this week btw 😉Nice. If you had Elliott instead of Gilks you should be assured of a starting keeper every week - albeit a Newcastle one 🙂
Team at the moment for GW7 (2 FTs, £1.0m ITB):
Begovic(sun)
N.Taylor(NEW) Moore(BUR) Moreno(WBA)
Fabregas(ARS) DI Maria (EVE) Sterling(WBA) Sigurdsson(NEW)
Pelle(tot) Balotelli(WBA) Costa(ARS)
subs - McCarthy, Clyne, C.Dawson, Zaha
What to do this week? Need to use at least 1 transfer so Zaha is the obvious candidate for the chop, probably to someone like Boyd to bank some cash. Or go balls out and get Aguero or summat?
HELP!?if you do Zaha to Boyd can you afford Balo to Kun?
No i can't 🙁
I'd have to flog one of the other midfielders, which is a whole new nightmare! Probably end up being Siggy i suppose which would give me £5.1 for a replacements.... the candidates aren't good lolhow frustrating!!!
Could just do the 1 FT Zaha to Boyd and have 2 FT next week?Yeah it's looking that way
Balls out sounds good.
0.1m short of Kun if you do Zaha ---> Boyd 🙁
Think it's 0.2. I can't even afford Aguero if i go full out dirt and get Isgrove lol
Finally get around to buying FIFA 15 on PS4 and I can't even play it... It lags non stop in the menus and in-game... 😕 🙁
really? ah that's no good 🙁
return it to the store and see what they can do maybe 🙂Had a look online and it seems to be a problem for a lot of people atm. In saying that, my friend bought it on PS4 too and his works fine 😕
Hopefully EA resolve it soon.
I brought it 2 days ago for PS4 and it works perfectly fine 😀
Some useless info if you are not British. There's a reason people on this site call Rooney 'roonpig' besides the obvious one. There is a British card company that have a catchy tune in their advert. Moonpig.com. That's where the name comes from 🙂
😀
I thought it was because he looked like a pig 🙂Ive heard of Moonpig.com but even I've never made the connection before 😆
Rooney to drop tonight?
maybe
100%
defo
Falcao to drop again. FPL just trolling us
How about Ramsey/Terry -> Silva/Kompany? Or I could do Ramsey/Terry/Krul -> Silva/Azpi/Forster for a hit?
Krul
Terry Clyne PvA
Fab Sterling Siggy Rambo
Costa Aguero Welbeck
Gilks Moore Hutton Marney
Would like to sell Rooney tonight but no idea who to buy 🙁
Agüero is flavour of the week round here.
is this a joke?
Aguero is but its a big risk imo, he limped off on saturday and has a euro game
Limped off lol.
So we all know that trigger is buying Aguero then...Get Pelle then, no European games to worry about. In form, great fixtures come join the Party!
Danny Ings is your man.
Valencia
Was thinking Sakho until the latest news
Sturridge if he is fit - pity we wont know if he is fit 'til tomorrow
Yes Sturridge the one i really want
Is Sturridge that much safer than Aguero? Both injury prone, actually.
no safer thats why if i get either will have to wait till sat morning
Too much pride to pick Pelle? He's far and away the best choice (and that's not because I was saying it last week). So central to Saints' attack, on form, and great fixtures
I have the same issue, added to the Ramsey problem.
Dzeko & Sterling look like the answer.
Dzeko always seems to do well the Spurs (gw8).Doh *against Spurs*
Should I WC?
Team :
Lloris
Clyne, Lovren, Duff
Siggy, ADM, Sterling, Silva, Fabregas
Costa, Pelle
Want Aguero up front!Don't waste your WC team is good
A) aguero mata
B) dzeko di MariaB
current WC team:
Mannone Heaton
Bertrand Azpili Duff Chambers Wisdom
Siggy Fabra ADM Sterling Jedinak
Ulloa Costa AugeroOkay.
other choice is:
Mannone Heaton
Bertrand IVANO Duff Chambers Wisdom
Siggy Fabra ADM Sterling CHADLI
PELLE Costa WELBECKThat is another choice.
or instead of welbeck go for dzeko since he is playing as fwd and they have avl next up and jovetic is not fit, after that gw you can choose welbeck again..
cool.
Rojo & Rooney > Chambers & Falcao
4 point hit. Do it or not?Nay chance. Chambers has Chelsea away next and 1 YC away from suspension
Fixtures pick up after that though. I get where you're coming from however.
Anyone else cheaper than Chambers worth getting? If I save 0.1 more I can afford Aguero.Duff / Hutton / Moore
Chambers on 4 ycs
He should just have his clean sheet points adjusted for 3 instead of 4 for every start. So incapable of going 90 without seeing yellow!
no
Guys u no if Ramsey is dropping in price tonight? Wanna do my transfer late but plz tell me if he will fall 🙁
100%
Cheers blud ur a lifesavaaaaa!
😆
I have 2 free transfers for this week, safe to do Rooney > Aguero NOW and if he gets injured in midweek then transfer him out? Just want to avoid Rooney's price drop.
If you can afford the drop it's worth the wait I think.
This
A) Aguero + Tadic
B) Pelle + ADM (leaves 2mil in the bank)A
Depends on how well you spend the extra money, I think. Any plans in mind?
thinking i can upgrade pieters to baines and play both baines and ivan for a while instead of straight ivan > baines swap.
Rate my team! Any suggestions?
Lloris
Clyne, Lovren, Duff
Siggy, ADM, Sterling, Silva, Fabregas
Costa, PelleYou are missing some players.
Like who? Is it worth WCing now and getting a strike force of Costa Aguero and Pelle?
Think he means your subs
That looks like a WC team as it is.
Best midfielder+striker combo for 18.6?
Currently on Aguero+Chadli, but not totally convinced by ChadliCosta + Tadic 😉
maybe Downing?Yeah I should probably have mentioned my current players in those positions:p
Hazard Ramsey Sterling Siggy (Marney)
Rooney Costa Pelle
Downing might be a decent pick I suppose. Also considering Silva+Welbeck/Dzeko
Rooney will not drop tonight, dont panic
So you've already transferred him out?
Well done.What are you talking about? i have made no transfers yet
Sure.
you morion ,. stop telling me what i have or havent done.
*moron
Oh the ironyMaybe stop giving out false information ?
He hasn't. Yet
100% dropping tonight.
your 100% Wrong
*you're
You have the code to the price changes and you have been withholding it from all of us for the past month?! How dare you. At least throw an "I don't think" or an "IMO" in that statement instead of presenting it as fact as though you have a clue and it's anything more than your educated guess.
He knows more than the sites actually dedicated to price change algorithms.
Who knew!Tbh you said he is 100% dropping therefore maybe you might have the "code" to the price changes.
Just trolling, mate. Went off about it a page ago 😉
😛
ha Walsh what has gotten into you mate? 😉
Based on?
Quick Poll.
Mane or Chadli?The Mane Man
Are we off Burnley "D"efense now? With a visit to Leicester on the horizon, surely Ulloa will have a field day? Also they will face West Ham, Everton and then Arsenal. Is it safe to stop recommending Duff as an option finally?
I don't think so. Their defense was troubled because their midfield was incapable of stringing three passes together and ravaged by injury. The root of their problem today was their lack of quality at midfield. I wouldn't bring in at the moment if I didn't own, but I wouldn't be looking to sell if I owned either.
I don't see their midfield getting much better anytime soon. They lack quality all over the field. I wouldn't be bringing them in either, let alone playing them anytime in the foreseeable future....pretty much a roster spot free loader IMO.
No marney no Burnley.
Dont jump off them just yet
A)pelle+ullao
B)dzeeko+ulloa
C)keep naismith and make rooney to either pelle or dzeekoEvening. Trying to find news on Ramsey, is there anything new beyond out for midweek?
Scout tweets say he wont make the Chelsea game
Wenger states that there's "no chance" that Ramsey & Arteta will be available for Galatasaray and Chelsea clashes.
he is out for the chelsea game too...that's all we know atm
Cheers all. Would love for us to have a relatively healthy season some time. I know everyone has injuries and I am not being objective but this sucks.
Cometh the hour, cometh the man, Theo...Does he play in defense?
Team good to go?
DDG/(Gilks)
Duff/Cahill/Clyne/(Chester)/(Dummet)
ADM/Sterling/Mane[Chadli]/Siggy/(Marney)
Pelle/Costa/Aguero
-4.
Should I use WC and fix Defence/Midfield? Or is it good to go?It's fine. No WC necessary.
As for Mane/Chadli thing, I can't really decide.Good to go, save the WC
Do we know if there is any indication of whether Sturridge will play this week?
If so, how many minutes do you think he will get?I imagine he will start and get 70 mins...
