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.
Best move here chaps? 0.1m short of Tadic & Aguero
A) Ramsey & Rooney -> Tadic & Sturridge (4 points)
B) Ramsey & Rooney -> Chadli/Downing/Dyer/Mirallas & Aguero (4 points)
Krul, Elliot
Terry, Clyne, Chambers, Wisdom, Hutton
Hazard, Ramsey, Sterling, Siggy, Albrighton
Costa, Rooney, Pelle
Bank 0.1m
I like A but B is not bad as well with Chadli
B with Downing
Really depends on your preference. I wouldn't consider any of the mids you've listed in B
B with Chadli
Why A? At least watch Sturidge sit on the bench first. I doubt he will start this weekend.
Tadic + Falcao or Downing + Aguero. Sturridge will be probably fit after the int. break
B. With chadli I guess.
B with chadli.x
B with Downing
As I am 5k in OR, I am really trying to avoid hits. Though should I make an exception this time?
My current XI for the GW7 is:
Forster
Moreno - Clyne - Caulker - PvA
Fabregas - Siggy - Sterling
Costa - Pelle - Welbeck
Bench: Ramsey - Collocini - Albrighton
0 FT
3.8 In the bank
Should I sell Ramsey to one of: Silva, ADM, Ozil and play him over Clyne / Caulker? Or stick with my current XI?If you can Avoid a hit...avoid it...play this team...many people will be taking hit this game week..including me (maybe)
I'd stick as well, better keep
I'd take a hit for silva
Have you many hits any other weeks? I took one this week but felt OK about it as it was my first.
No hits for me yet this season. Has been working pretty well so far...
Go with your gut regardless of hit. Hits only hurt you if you make a bad pick, otherwise they will more than make up for themselves over time. I can't understand why people avoid picking up upgraded players in order to avoid taking a hit. If you can't make up 4 points out of any position over the course of owning them, then you've obviously made a terrible choice.
Hits are part of the game and shouldn't be feared. Just make sound choices if your going to take one. Don't go for a 1 week transfer..... Think long term. I always keep track of my hits and compare what I would have made if I held onto the player and I can't think of too many times I lost points over the course of a few weeks.
Going back to your choices... I'd take either ADM or Silva for Ramsey before your not only missing out on points, but start losing team value as well.
Rooney or Ramsey due to drop tonight?
Any movement in price means I can't do my required trades so may need to pull the trigger today.
Then do it, what's the point in waiting ?
There is no point in waiting
-8 coming up!!There are midweek matches if that affect the players you're bringing in though
Agreed
dunno...but Rooney might fall..in any case I will wait till Friday to make the transfer...because the players I am considering are injury prone and may get injured in between the week..
Well I'm getting in kun.
It's a risk getting him before the CL but f**k it.
Yolo
Whats ur plan?x
Terry, Rambo , Rooney > terry , ADM , kun
(-8)Terry to Terry is very sideways 🙂
Naylor. Sorry. Typo
I checked with the help of a few guys that Debuchy under Red Flag and high ownership had his Price Drop at 250k transfers out (ownership drop of 21.6 -> 13.3%)
So I think that could be a rough benchmark for Rooney and Ramsey .. Rooney is 159k Transfers out atm and Ramsey 126k
Well worked out, i came to the same conclusion for both Ramsey and Rooney
I made my two transfers already. Could of waited but meh
Same thing but I felt a bit pushed having Rooney and Ramsey.
I transferred the same two players out
for Tadic and Kun??
Yep. Hoping Kun gets through midweek unscathed
Who'd you get in? I went "safe" and got Sterling and Welbeck and pocketed the change.
Morning guys! Ever get paranoid your entire ML are lurkers? Seems like it alot of the time
Think the leader of one of my MLs is. Virtually the same team as Pepin
THEY ARE ALL WATCHING
Rooney to kun
Ramsey to ? Up to 7.3
Any suggetions?looking at siggy chadli and mane have pelle though so putting doubt in my mind bout mane.xSiggy. Easily.
Like that confidence.even though not on the best form?dpes have 3 good fixtures.x
Yeah I prefer him to chadli to be honest
I see my transfer target for this week is pending disciplinary charges from the FA
*sigh*+1
So Dzeko, averaging 15 goals and 6 assists last 3 seasons.
This year, no competition from Negredo.
Played in a more advanced role than Aguero last match.
Jovetic and Aguero partnership didn't work when tried (lost 1-0 at home to Stoke)
What's not to like?
After one game they played together in I'm not sure Pelegrini has given up on a Jovetic + Aguero partnership. Aguero can play as a loan striker and has proven it when Tevez was still in the side.
He's a good option no doubt. The thing is you need patience with him since he'll give you a 13 as he did this week and then go AWOL for 2-3 weeks. Thing is that, most looking for a Rooney replacement seem to have funds for Aguero, plus Dzeko's been rested once or twice already. That's his downside for you.
True, but he's less injury prone and has out-scored Aguero last 2 seasons despite limited game time.
For those not wanting Aguero, he may be a better option than Silva.Yes, he's the standout choice after Aguero.
He's probably one of, if not the most underrated striker in the league IMO.
Last, no competition from Jovetic too. Almost went with whole-season injury
*Last year
Only have 1FT, who to get rid of first.. Sanchez or Rooney? Or both for a hit?
the one that you know won't play.
Keep Sanchez IMO..
Lol obviously Rooney..
Yeah obviously Rooney has to go.. Guess the question should have just been Sanchez out for a hit or not.. Over 10 million for a player thats been on the bench for the last 2 weeks is frustrating..!
Could anyone offer any advice on where to go from here:
Begovic/Krul
Clyne/PvA/Moreno/Caulker/Wisdom
ADM/Hazard/Siggy/Sterling/Zaha
Costa/Pelle/Naismith
2.8m ITB and 1 FT left.
Any help is appreciated!!
ThanksNaismith âž¡ Welbeck/Dzeko
I see here people feeling disrespected when i already wrote that 'any advice is Appreciated'. Well i and many of us dont recive thanks for every reply. So feelling disrespectful is way too small minded imo.
don't think he meant u , did he??
may be but still....
Well said. I appreciate any advice ppl give me on this site.
Yesterday I was called "a dog with a stupid gravatar, your an idiot, never anything constructive to say on this site"...
😕Really? Who?
Look in my profile. On my comment thread.
You are a dog, now stop barking
I always appreciate you slut. Xx
Flag up such comments in future. Abuse shouldn't be tolerated.
Your Mum's Athletic
Man up, Tina. 😉
Well, he did reply you, but then you looking for "superstar's advice" instead of replying his.
That's disrespectfulWell it not that i didnt considered his advice but didnt thought its required to reply. And asking for EVS advice is not the worst thing to do or is it??
Duff, Bertrand or ShawX for next gameweek?
(other two are Vertonghen and Naylor)Shawcross
ShawX
Duff
ShawX
Bertrand
in that order for me.
Hi guys! Using my WC for GW7. Any Thoughts?
De Gea --> Schmeichel/Mannone? (Myhill)
Moreno -->Manquillo, Azpilicueta, Taylor, (Dummet --> Bertrand, Moore)
Henderson --> Sterling, Yaya --> Silva, Di Maria, Chadli (Wanyama)
Rooney --> Ballotelli, Welbeck, CostaThis is confusing
This is extremely confusing
I'll repost sorry
Anybody know who are the most nailed on defenders in the Olympiakos defence?
Best midfielder for this week only any price?
Fab. Silva. ADM.
Not going to lie fab could destroy arsenal from an arsenal fan we are terrible on the counter and wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea win by 4
Sterling, Silva, Puncheon, Downing take your pick
For me I think maybe sterling silva but I don't have a clue my team is such a mess for this week
Defo Sterling if you don't have him already, he has QPR to follow as well.
Downing - as many key passes as Cesc so far this season I believe, he's on corners an has been playing in the hole, I'm digging him this week. QPR aren't going to know what's hit them.
Interesting downing would be a big differential I think
Really fancy Sterling vs WBA
Is he going to play? Don't you see him rested after Champions League?
I do like the look of sterling the thing Is liverpool are in a dip of form atm I'd say can't keep CS and poor in the final third
DZ is a bit volatile today , generally its a group of friendly , lovely chaps
Lol you stirred one of them up 😀
Twenty people today reply to my threads with "decoy" comments, yours was last strawBut i still gave you upvote for your price workings
cheers ...
It must depend to some extent what percentage they were on when the gameweek beagan, musnt it?
I am gonna watch this one closely .. there are two scenarios ,
A) He drops at the Transfers out No at 250k
or
B) drops at the percentage of 8% ownership dropIt should be 10% of ownership times 2.5 for red flag
He was owned by about a million , would normally have dropped at 100m
With the red it should be around 250,000
But that was last years rules, no guarantee it will be the sameI am gonna guess a bit (having worked it out) that He will drop when He gets to 26.1 % ownership.. If it is something exact , then I have found the correct algo..
If not back to the drawing board
100,000 sorry not 100m
yeah get the idea , wait and see now what happens..
Its a bit late to be considered the DZ tbf. (This comment just underlines your point 😉 )
Nothing like a bad week to set off a few tensionsDZ is honestly so much more refreshing then any other time of the day on here
a Transition zone now??
Morning crowd (UK)
The hostile domain
I bet you say that to all the zones
Retweet if you hate Monday's
This isn't Twitter
But I hate Monday's.
Retweet
Tell me why.
Monday's are like watching Stoke play. Blergh. Coincidently, they play tonight
I don't like Mondays,
I'm gonna shoot ooooooooooh the whole day down
I hate Monday's too, that much today, I've rang in and said I've got the sh*ts. Back to bed...
Pieters/Moreno out?
Forster (Mccarthy)
moreno moore naylor (clyne pieters)
Adm fabs sterling siggy (boyd)
Falcao costa pelle
2FT, 0.2I envy u with 2 FT
Yeah I would ship Moreno. And roll over a trade.I'm keeping Pieters in for couple more weeks, Sunderland away then Swansea at home, no rush to shift him yet. Still hoping Stoke find their usual defensive form.
Moreno out for me...
Hi guys! Using my WC for GW7. Any Thoughts?
Schmeichel (Myhill)
Manquillo Azpilicueta Taylor (Bertrand, Moore)
Sterling Silva Di Maria Chadli (Wanyama)
Ballotelli Welbeck Costa
Wanyama to Boyd and I certainly wouldn't want double Leicester defence with Moore and Schmeichel also Ballotelli is a bit crap
fancying Ballo bcuz of the GWs ahead. Im using moore as a cheap defender on the bench
Did Rooney and Ramsey to Lukaku and Silva....Dont know how I feel about it but it could go really good...or not so good....Anyone else making either of these transfers?
Thinking about Silva myself but Lukaku..dunno. Wanted him somehow pre GW but seeing him on the telly turned me off. Got Pelle but regret that as well because I forgot about Balo lol.
Might do the same moves completely forgot about Lukaku and Everton could run riot on the Man U defense
Doubt that now. They did almost nothing against the dodgy Liverpool defense.
I've been considering Silva for about 2 weeks now, it'll happen sooner or later...
Do you think Sterling will be benched against WBA, especially if he plays in the CL?
i most certainly hope NOT after what happened against Villa
Before the int break i hope he ll play. Liverpool have to win vs WBA.
No Pool need a win... cant be benching him again
I dont see may people considering lukaku. He can be good Diff this week(poor United defence) and also excellent prospect for coming GWs.
He is frustrating to own too inconsistent
He hasn't caught my eye yet
Well utd defence surely has caught mine given vardy 21pts 😉
Having Baines as EVE coverage is more than enough and better than Lukaku imo
I think Baines is better pick for Everton coverage. So far points scoring is equal.
In my team
Baines as well
So maybe you will get some baines peno and lukaku Goals through utd's weak wall so Good luck. I might well get lukaku.
I reckon over 3.5 in that game is a lock! Everton after Europe and United are well, United!
This Downing and Tadic love blows my mind...ok fair enough Tadic is on pens and looks great but until he starts producing decent returns im not tying up one of my mid spots with him especially when everyone have Bertand and Pelle and now triple Soton!!! As for Downing....I know the stats blah blah but its Downing...like what 1 goal and 2 assists in 2 seasons
3 assists this season for Tadic, and 1 goal and 2 assists already this season.
...for Downing
I know 3 assists....in 6 games... with Fab/Sterling/Siggy/ADM/Chadli/Silva even I just dont see owning Tadic up there with these lads...especially if you own Clyne/Bertand and Pelle
You don't have to understand it. There are some of us that 'get it' though, FPL is all about looking forward and prospecting.
I agree but Downing! In Auckland myself too mate...Lot of Kiwis on here?
Yeah there is a few of us. Jafa, good night kiwi and Innsie are some of the others I know
I'm Irish but living here. Where you watch the football on the weekend?
At home. Got premierleague pass
Sigurdsson is owned by 40.8 % and has produced 1 goal and 4 assists and is 1.1 mil more expensive than Downing who is owned by 3.3% so there is differential. I believe midfielders under 9 mil should produce in about 40% of their games and they ll be ok. Tadic and Downing have produced in half of their games so far (apart from the pens or corners that will give them more points) , so there is the love you mention.
Ok differential I agree. but still going forward I'd rather Siggy everyday
Are people buying Aguero because
A they really want him
B because he uses up spare budget
C because everyone else is and your lazyD. Best forward I can afford
D waiting for Triggerlips to tell us what to do in his blog
😆
😆
...and then do the complete opposite.
😆
Originally I wanted him but I will probably get him in when he is scoring more as I don't think he justifies the price right now
D - living in Thailand where Khun means Mr./Mrs. so basically I just like his name, reminds me of where I live 😉
You'll own him soon enough
Maybe as soon as friday
Sooo A, B or C?
because he's 12M and people feel safe and wow
I own him and have done for 2/3 weeks now but am considering getting rid.
Great on his day but with CL as well, I'm not sure he really represents value.
Aren't that many viable choices for man city.
Aguero, silva, dzeko?
Last year yaya was no brainer.
Moin, did you end up with Rooney as your Captain?
Yup I did..looked good till he got the red..
Is doubling up on Silva and Aguero a good idea?
that would mean Lamela to Siggy/Chadli
Not a bad idea but doesn't sound all that great either...too exp with not enough returns. Aguero just got his first bonus points and then limped off. Silva not explosive enough in my opinion. But that's just my opinion.
thanks!
see above
Lamela to Chadli/Siggy isn't a bad move. That is if Chadli is ok, saw he's flaggedyeah!
I sense that move involves an unnecessary hit..
I sense the usual Rooney,Ramsey dilemma.
feck 😀
goes to the kitchen for a huge coffee
To get Aguero, Costa, Falcao, or RVP need to downgrade one of Lamela or Hazard...already have Silva..
Having taken a look at your team, I'd say go for it. Having Silva on your team already shouldn't affect your pick.
I personally went for Falcao over Aguero as United have been pretty good offensively and I don't want to miss out on their attacking potential..
Also the cash saved will help me get a good 3rd forward
Anything that means Lamela OUT is a GREAT idea!!! 😀
Haha..I agree with this..was a Lamela owner till last week 😀
😯
His assist brace forced me to give him time..don't blame me, it's Lamela's fault 😛
See my comment to Jordan, below ... 😉 😛
Haha..fine whatever you say 😀
Anyway - much better luck with the replacement for you, I hope! 🙂
I think you misunderstood..replaced him last week..with Fabregas 🙂
Morning gents.
Need to get rid of roonpig. Was hoping for aguero really but need to do some shuffling.
Rooney and caulker to aguero and vanaan
Rooney and Ramsey to aguero and tadic and spare change
Rooney and degea to aguero and begovic
What do you guys think? Worth the 4 point hit?Yes. Right now, I would do the third.
To aguero and begovic (seeing stoke has ok fixtures, and united sucks in defense)
Middle one
Thanks for replies, 2 votes for beg and one for tad
I think I'll go with beg, I like tad but Ramsey always a threatGot it thanks
R&R to A&T
reply fail, belongs to da monkey
Got it thanks
Should I keep Chadli or not? 0,4 in the bank
Is everyone holding onto ADM? I'm not particularly keen on United's fixtures... Everton (h), WBA (a), Chelsea (h), Man City (a)
Clyne can feck right off ,only had 1 week with 6 points out of him ,played him twice ,taylors cleanies on the bench both times and benched his points three times,completely frustrating so selling the bogeyman for anybody,cant and wont get him right so feck him.....
lol
A good workman does not blame his tools for a poor job ... 😉
I would keep him, if I were you. 🙂Fair enough doos,but hes on the pine again this week,(Moreno,taylor,ivan,moore)surely spurs will score,aaaarrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhh........
I share your pain, by the way. Perhaps we both ought to take Swansea more seriously? 🙂
