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.
Anyone care to help with my defensive woes?
Who the heck do I start, Chester hoping he gets a start? Just don't know!
Begovic
Clyne - PvA - Kelly
ADM - Sterling - Tadic - Siggy
Costa - Aguero - Welbeck
Gilks -- Marney - Ferdinand - Chester
Might as well start Chester and hope for a start. Over Kelly, IMO.
I don't know if Hull is even more likely for a CS
Chester to Moore this week, Ferdinand to Southo defendender next week
Can't make any more transfers. Defence was supposed to get sorted this week but had Rooney and Ramsey to deal with
That is a really shite defence for next week..play Chester over Kelly and hope he starts..
It's a shit defence for any week lol
Day 2 & still waiting on that Rooney price drop...
Lol I definitely jumped the gun on that one..
Sorry to reply, didn't get much feedbacks...
How would you rate my team on a scale from 1 to 10?
Heaton
Ivanovic Clyne Duff (Wisdom Bruce)
Hazard Siggy Sterling Mane (Elmohamady)
Costa Aguero Pelle
0FT / 0.5 ITB
Looking to bring baines in next GW.
Pretty solid, but who's your other keeper?
Heaton had a poor game, and don't think he will be keeping a clean sheet against Leicester this coming game week.
Ivanovic -> Baines next week for free seems logical.
All in all, probably a 7.5/8 out of 10.My other GK is Gilks... I know :S
That's a strong 8/10, I'd say your defence isn't in a great place for GW7. Interesting choice with Mane. Hazard's bound to start firing soon, been incredibly influential this season, stats don't do him justice at the moment.
Thanks 🙂
if Bruce was Naylor, 8/10
difficult decision this week as an Arsenal fan ,
Costa(C) to or not toI'd di it
I did Pelle for the differential this week, which seemed to slightly pay off, but the rest of my team didn't perform so didn't make too much in the way of movement.
Think Costa is a good decision in any case, even much as it hurts as an Arsenal fan. I can see goals being scored in that fixture, probably 3 - 1 to Arsenal.
I'm tossing up between Costa/Aguero for this game week.
Given the way Costa's started and we're at the Bridge, wouldn't surprise me if gives us a Drogba-esque performance and runs riot with you.
ha ha I know , we could lose this badly 3-0/4-0 something like that
Should I do Ramsey -> Tadic/Chadli for -4 or just play Boyd ??
If Ramsey will be injured for more than 1 week, take a hit. He ll drop definitely at least 0.1 and you ll lose points and TV.
Save FT?
Mannone (Heaton)
Moore, Baines, N. Taylor (Clyne, Wisdom)
Di Maria, Tadic, Downing, Sterling (Boyd)
Aguero, Costa, Welbeck
1 FT, 0 in BankYeah defo
Yep
This look alright for the next GW? Took a hit to get:
Begovic
Clyne Naylor PVA
Fabregas DiMaria Sterling Siggy
Aguero Costa Pelle
Gilks; Davis, Duff, WisdomVery close to my team, but haven't pulled the trigger on bringing Aguero in just yet.
Awaiting the Champs League results this week to know for sure.
Otherwise you're in good nick if you've played the hit already.
Thoughts on this lot guyz.Any help appreciated !!
Forster
Clyne Wilson Duff
Ramsey* Sterling Fab ADM Siggy
Costa Falcao
Elliot Hutton Chambers Wood
0.4 in bank
0 FT(Rooney>Falcao already done)
Thinking to get Lukaku but will need -8 hit. Yay or Na ??
Had a nightmare GW,So need to bounce back.If you've had a poor week already, taking an 8 point hit won't help fix that - may only make it worse.
Would suggest taking an -4 hit downgrading Ramsey to Downing to free up funds for Baines from next week onwards?Wat bout tadic?? who would you prefer more??
Tadic is solid, with good fixtures coming up, but think Downing has two good fixtures coming up and you will want Baines from next week.
Thanks man i might just do this!!
CRTEER, your thoughts on silva??
Rambo->Boyd
Wood->Pele
Cheap non-playing Fwds is one of the big No Nos in ff.
this with Welbeck maybe
Thoughts on Straight swap with Silva??
listen to Jafalad 3 playing forwards is a must
Bottomed out...
Begovic | McCarthy
Clyne | Moreno | Bertrand | Duff | Wisdom
Di María | Sterling | Fábregas | Schneiderlin | Sigurdsson
Welbeck | Falcao | Diego Costa
Really looking to get Baines in but. Not sure of the route to go down to get him in. Stubbornly going to keep Falcao as I love that guy. Thoughts appreciated, have 2 FT and £0.0 ITBTo get Baines in, you could downgrade Schneiderlin and Siggy -> Boyd and Downing this game week, and then perhaps Moreno -> Baines next week?
Does Moreno->Moore/Hutton and Berty->Baines work?
Falcao could be the main man now
How do you think McGeady is placed for game time now Mirrillas looks dead.
So, did Rooney or Ramsey drop in the end last night?
Nope
Nope
I didn't watch the game, how was Welbeck?
Missed a sitter, completely flopped it.
Thanks
Got chances though...he'll come good.
Keep rubbing it in
Morning Gents,
Mannone Krul
ShawX Clyne Lovren Wisdom Moore
Siggy Sterling Fab ADM ElAhmadi
Costa Rooney Welbeck
1.1ITB 2FT
Rooney to Aguero
ShawX/Lovren to Chambers
Need to get 0.6 from somewhere to afford the Rooney to Aguero move..
Cheers in advance.Or Rooney to Falcao
Or Rooney to LukakuChambers is on 4 Yellow Cards, one away from suspension.
I know but he will be in my team long term with Debuchy out for 3 months
I love how you still have El Kabadi. We must be brothers 🙂
You only need 11 outfield players at this stage of the season anyway.
Roo->Pele
Lovren->Naylor or CHS defender.
i would do Lovren to Naylor + Roonpig-->Kun. Chambers I would get in for GW 8 when fixtures are better iso ShawX
Can i get suggestions from EVS for my upwards post ??
Superstar advice request 😉
Why third person jooi?
Pathetic
Terry (ARS)
Bertrand (spurs)
Moore (BUR)
Naylor (NEW)
to bench oneProbably JT but even then I can't see Arsenal scoring v Chelsea away, it'll be a typical Mourinho play for 1-0 performance and Chelsea will defend brilliantly
Berty.
after Spurs' thursday Europa adventure??
Yep. Spuds should still score.
debate is between Terry vs Berty , definitely starting the other two
bert
Tough one. Maybe Bert
Who to start nx week?
A Moore home to burley
B clyne away to spursA
same problem as mine ,
A) probably because Burnley can't hit a barn-doorMoore easily, Burnley probably couldn't hit water if they fell off a boat right now...
anyone thinking about UCL yet? who are the must have players for round 2?
RVP anyone?
Was going to get Falcao , but with RVP taking up all his space in the box, RVP maybe the better option.
On penaltiess too no doubt. Face an Everton side returning from a long trip to Russia, good short term option until Sturridge gets up to speedHere comes the decoy
Whats wrong with you people? If you cant address the topic then f#ck off
sorry Trigger , I just wanted to make sure that the post doesn't mean U are actually gonna get Falcao
I honestly have no idea who im getting
anyway I don't think RVP is worth 1m more than Falcao
Proven goalscorer, PK taker, guaranteed 90minutes action, higher average position, if we compare him to Falcao. Worth 1.5m more expensive, imo
Not worth the price tag
probably not , but i have the money sitting in the bank doing nothing, and he can be downgraded to anyone
Don't you have bigger problems in your team 😯
Can he be downgraded to Aguero? 😎
I don't think RVP will be explosive enough this season, especially with so many team mates looking to get on the scoresheet such as Falcao, Mata, ADM, and Rooney (when back). I'd only want to spend 12m+ on a player who I know will score most of the teams goals.
I did say it was short term not for lijfe
Night everyone80 blimey I didn't say long term did I? The same applies for short term as well.
His leg will fall off soon
Bench Clyne or Bertrand for spurs away?
Flip a coin
bert
If you are going to post questions and RMTs on here, at least have the good grace to reply to those who answered you. Poor etiquette imo when you fail to respond.
+1
although sometimes I do it myselfPardoned 😉
Why?
what why?
Why do you not reply to answers to your RMT sometimes?
oh I don't post enough RMT for starters , I posted one this morning and a couple of guys replied .. I actually typed out a reply and was gonna post it but I lost my WiFi connection and switched off..
if there is an instant reply I re-reply to it always .. but sometimes in DZ , the reply comes after 10 mins and u switch off sometimes without checking anyone has replied or notFair enough. I can understand in some instances, others are at work too I'm guessing and might not have time to hang around and when they do return its fallen behind the pages.
upvoted
Cheers. There's a few posters in my white book who I no longer bother to responding to.
I try to reply to everyone but not every comment warrants a reply, especially if 2-3 people comment the same thing
Agreed but in this instance my replies were different. Besides, there's no harm in thanking everyone at the bottom of the post.
Lol what replies are you referring to im curious now
See above
A lot of posters want to get advice and opinions on their teams but don't care much to give the same service. I personally pick and choose who I want to reply to mostly based on the poster tbh. Gotta earn it around these parts!
Good lad 😉
That's a little disrespective tbh.
It's not disrespectful at all. It's disrespectful when people come online for 5 minutes, get what they want, then you don't hear from them again until they need more advice
You should thank everyone who replies not pick and choose. Bad manners imo.
Wasn't referring to those who reply to me. I meant other people's posts
Above, reus grav
Agreed
Thanks 🙂
No problem. Gets my back up when you can be on here, responding to everyone's posts, then you ask something and get nothing but a tumbleweed
So, you annoyed with me?? I do thank but i didnt notice yr reply. So sorry for that!!
Not annoyed-just a little disappointed people post stuff then don't bother to respond to it.
FFS will be divided into a Welbeck camp and a Pelle camp. Surely Costa and Aguero are going to be the main forwards.
Pelle representative here 0/
Indeed, I'm on Pelle for now...
Dzeko could be a nice alternative to Aguero though.Poor mans Aguero. Will always play second fiddle and then there is the threat from Jovetic
not so sure everyone will get Aguero , 12.1 is a steep price
They will be soon enough
He hasn't really has a prolonged spell of sucess for a while. I need a lot more convincing tbh
Well, if 4 goals in 6 games doesn't do it, nothing will.
He did blank in 2 home matches though
Yup, Aguero is terrible at home & those *two* matches prove it...
Do you suffer from amnesia?
Are you only able to recall the past four game weeks by chance?
^^ This. Aguero is one of the few 'must haves' if history is anything to go by. To ignore him is to deny what he's capable of and what he's proven to be as an excellent FPL prospect.
Kind of wish I chose Pelle now, not because of goals/points, but moreso because his price will/is going up quicker
I'm tempted to roll with both Welbeck & Pellé along side Costa.
That extra £5 mill practicaly buys you a Downing!😆
I've gone Falcao
Pelle for me
Sturridge might have something to say about that.
Valid. Pool need to pick up their form though if people are to double up with Sterling.
2 out of Costa, Aguero and Sturridge +1 out of Welbeck, Pelle, and maybe Dzeko or even Adebayor.
Wise people will steer clear of Dzeko (game time), and Adebayor (consistency). I think the other 4 are all valid though. Sturridge of course would need to be passed fit.
*5
Dzeko and Adebayor are good short term picks when Pelle and Welbz have tough fixtures but i agree they are not the best or the safest medium or long term picks
Good to go?
DDG
Cahill Clyne Duff (Dummet Chester)
ADM Siggy Sterling Downing (Marney)
Costa Aguero Pelle
On -4.
Worth WC now?Na don't WC
How about next week?
no need to WC. Only problems are DDG and Dummet/Chester but can be taken care of next time. Who is your second GK? Might as well play him over DDG - Manu just cannot get a CS atm
4.0
I have the same Fwds and have decided that whilst I have Aguero I will keep my WC - that way I can sort out the mess if Aguero is off for a few weeks (I have learnt from previous seasons). Your team is fine for now.
What to do this week... ?
A)
Downing - Fabregas - Sterling - ADM - Siggy
Costa - Ulloa
With Pelle on the bench
B)
Costa - Ulloa - Pelle
Then bench a midfielder?Thats a tough one 😯 I would bench Pelle
Actually scratch that one out. Bench Fab
Against his old club?
You'd bench Fabregas against Arsenal at home? As a Chelsea fan I don't think I could bring myself to it, your first reply is what I initially thought, think Downing could get a hella load of points this week, on corners, been playing in the hole, Burnley should get hammered
I agree on the Downiing point (They are playing QPR though). Pelle is on fire, Tottenham haven't been great defensively and them rotating there central defenders every game isn't helping. Fab has been playing deep since Ramires has been injured and as you can see he has not been delivering. Playing against his old club doesn't change anything imo.
You mean QPR, right?
that's exactly why i would not want to have 8 attacking options with good potential returns every GW. Always a benching headache. Really tough one but i would probably bench Pelle
I'd rather have 8 strong attacking options than 6-7 with weak options off the bench or whatever, tbh
if you feel comfortable with that then sure go ahead, everyone has different tactics 😉
wrong
I would bench Sig. SWA havent scored in the last 2 matches and he has scored only once so far. SOU seem too good atm. I wouldnt bench their only striker.
good point. I would wait until tonight's match though. If Newcastle are really bad and concede a lot then I would not bench Siggy
Bit annoyed that the scouts picked Duff despite West Brom's good result last week
Of all their misses thus far, taking a defender from the most defensive minded team this year is what annoys you?
In terms of transfers this week:
Out:
Rooney 159k
Naismith 36k
In:
Pelle 61k
Ulloa 53k
Dzeko 45k
lot of people actually downgrading on Rooney instead of moving upWelbeck?
only 10k in
Triggerlips may have been right about the Burnley defense burn-ing out . . . fair play mate
Wish I'd seen this comment 😛 What I was talking about above. Think we all should have taken more note of west broms performance against Spurs too. Got PVA stuck on the bench
I think they will bounce back, but Trigger was right to point out that they will eventually have to go on the attack - this may have been what they were trying at W Brom - and then they'll get aught out
One game doesn't change a lot, they were relegation favs anyway so not gonna never concede
You mean to tell me they weren't going to keep 35 clean sheets this year?!
🙂
Think Trigger has gone now, but here's what he said a few days back;
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/09/24/monitor-stewart-downing-2/?hc_page=16#hc_comment_8384087Not having a go at trigger but refuse to credit someone for pointing out that the favs for relegation mau not have a watertight defence the whole season. Burnley defs cheap makeweights in your squad, they do a job
That's not really what he was saying, the point was more that the cleansheets achived already were as a result of chancing a zero attack, and that as soon as they open up to score points, they will be less likely to keep cleanies - irrespective of the normal run of things. I argued against him, so felt like I should hold my hand up when things seemed to prove him right immediately
A) ADM and Pelle
B) Falcao and Tadic?
Both affordable with the classic Rooney and Ramsey double for a -4pt.
(Or something else?)A for me
A
Thanks Both
WC Option A (kun delight):
Manone Heaton
Azpili Duff Chambers Wisdom Bertrand
ADM Sterling Siggy Jedinak Fabra
Costa Augero Ulloa
OR
Option B (who needs a defence?):
Manone Heaton
MOORE Duff Chambers Wisdom Bertrand
ADM Sterling Siggy Jedinak Fabra
Costa Augero PELLE
basically a question of:
Azpili/Ulloa or Moore/PelleB
haha just for the name I'd take B 🙂
Moore Pelle please 🙂
b but do heaton to 4.0 and jedinak to boyd then upgrade def
Cheers.
Did jednak to boyd
Moore to Taylor.
Keeping Heaton or another 4.5 cause I like to rotate.
Is the following worth an 8 point hit?
Terry, Rambo , Rooney > naylor, ADM, aguero
I need to do all three moves in order to raise required funds.Anyone?
I like all 3 players coming in. 2 going out are injured/suspended. I don't see why not
I would.
Yes, you ll probably get immediately those 8 points
Cheers. Worth pulling the trigger now? Can't afford any price changes
I would usually suggest to wait until the CL matches are over, but you ll lose at least 0.2 so i would do it tonight before the price changes.
Cheers
I'd do it too
Team for GW7 looks good to go already -
Begovic
Azpil / N Taylor / Pieters
Downing / Fabregas / Siggy / ADM / Sterling
Ulloa / Costa
Bench - McCarthy / Pelle / Clyne / PvA
Just gotta decide captain, leaning towards Ulloa/Downing...Nice team for this week
Pelle bench?
Yeah, much rather have Downing v QPR (on corners/playing in the hole) v QPR at home than Pelle away at Spurs.
and cheers Super Zlatan, still aren't convinced about ADM's/United's fixtures though...
Cahill and Naismith >
A) Valencia and Moreno
B) Mangala and 6.5
C) Chambers and Pelle
