As we brace ourselves for the second international break of the season, our Sunday members regular delves into the Gameweek 7 data. United’s record signing, City’s in-form frontman and Swansea’s resurgent striker are amongst this evening’s topics, as we also analyse the recent displays of a number of favourably priced midfielders across the last few Gameweeks.
Owner of both.Think they'll be around the top of midfield rankings come end of season. Cant you get both ??
Not really, current team: http://i.imgur.com/pK4RQII.png
Don't want to drop Sterling, Liverpool have good fixtures coming up. Same goes with Tadic. Siggy is a season keeper :/In your case its diffcult to both own due to expensive defence.. Id chose Di Maria as you have costa. Better to spread the risk
Yeah, might look into downgrading that defense. Thanks for the input 🙂
No, any other way you can get him in?
Rate ?? / 10
Guzan // Given
Baines // Bertrand // Clyne // (Duff) // (Wisdom)
Siggy // ADM // Sterling // Downing // (Jedinak)
Aguero // Costa // Welbeck8. Lacks 1 Chelsea player
Anyone thinking of Hazard in for Fab? No hurry and obviously sideways, but Hazard on fire and seems likely to outscore Fab over the season.
Fab still a great option of course.I kept hazard even though most owned fab. Hazard will score more goals plus penalty appeal is an added bonus. Fab playing deep puts me off but no doubt he'll continue to get assists.
Best options for Lamela and Naismith with 0.6 ITB?
Chadli and Welbeck/Pelle
Good time to be keeping Naismith.
I'm considering buying him back ahain, to allow massive defense
Would you get Baines(home to Aston Villa) in now for Rafael(away to West Brom), or next gw?
Have $ for straight transfer, and 2 fts, no pressing transfer.Begovic
Baines, Clyne, Wilson
ADM, Fabregas, Sterling, Siggy
Costa, Welbeck, Ulloa
McCarthy, McGeady, Moore, Duff
What to do with 2 FT and 5 m itb?
I want Aguero in for Ulloa . the trouble is McGeady > Boyd which gives me another 1.1m+ 5 itb + selling Ulloa for 5.8m. = 11.9m.
0.3 short of Ulloa > Aguero.
I could spend 4 points to find the extra cash , but who? Wilson or Begovic downgrade? Maybe Mannone?
Help?Mannone is a good choice. Wilson right now is enough for stoke cover
Sunderland poor fixtures. I'd go Guzan or Heaton
Guzan could be worth a look.
So Ulloa, McGeady, Begovic > Aguero , Boyd, Guzan worth -4?Plenty of save points for Mannone tho?
Pretty sure you want clean sheets before save points
True
Sunderland in good form and has a knack of shutting down big boys. Yeah Plus mannone save points will come in handy
Sterling to Llama would do it - sideways move but a nice differential.
Thanks. Sterling has good fix and if I was going to make that move I think there is more value in Chadli
I don't want to WC but I need to fix up my defence desperately. Clyne is the only one of the five that I'm genuinely happy to keep. I'd even change keepers and my fifth mid. Gah!!
In general defence points are so unpredictable that it's not worth to hit the WC just to sort that out.
I am in a similar position, but I'll be fixing it step by step with some hope for points in the meantimeUsually I wouldn't mind so much as I've always been into the whole budget defence. But when I look at this GWs fixtures for my defenders I get a feeling of emptiness!
sot, LIV, ars, CHE
I was on the same boat. Don't WC. It's better to save it.
If I had issues with my attack I'd probably WC with no hesitation. But that area of my squad is fine
People's thoughts on Sterling --> ADM ?
Nope
I am not
Tough to say.. both look lively and involved.. I think ADM looks slightly better, but with worse fixtures and higher price it's a tie in my books. Both very solid options.
WC active Guys....
Any good ideas...?I heard that Costa guy could be a good pick?
I believe you have been misinformed. Papiss cisse is where it's at 😉
Flush the chain again. That usually works.
DDG,
Cahill, Clyne, Naylor
Di Maria, Mane, Sterling, Siggy,
Ulloa, Welbeck, Costa
Subs. Gilks, Chambers, Wisdom, Marney,
6.7m to upgrade.. 1ft
What would you do?Ulloa --> Lukaku
Naylor --> BainesUlloa > Falcao
How am i looking lads? Anything need to be done?
Begovic, McCarthy
Baines, Clyne, Taylor, Duff, Moore
Di Maria, Fabregas, Sterling, Siggy, Boyd
Aguero, Costa, Ulloa
0.5m ITBYour good to go and yoy know it 🙂
And you have kun!!Would prefer him to be Welbeck and Boyd --> Hazard / Walcott..
Would give you a benching problem every week...
Cheeky repost 😉
What to do with this lot?
DDG/Gilks
Chester/Cahill/Duff/Dummet/Clyne
ADM/Siggy/Sterling/Downing/Marney
Costa/Pelle/Aguero
1.7 ITB
Currently thinking of saving my transfer. Thoughts?Save it until next week and see if any problems arise!
Save
A baines/ivan + welbeck (+2.0)
B 4.8 def + agueroA) with Baines. Great price in comparison to other positions, Arsenal fixtures looking good now too.
Yeah, that is my move actually but that kun explosition is what I fear...
As an owner of Aguero i fear of his hammy, quite scary waiting mid week, never know what will happen. Wish i got Welbeck instead and a better 5th mid
I see you point, although a front line of welb costa kun seems to be the way to go...
Currently i am on costa falcao pelle, probably selling falcao tho
Hands up who doesn't have ADM?
Need to wc to get him in and also drop Aguero, so probably waiting until gw13 to get him in for someone. Price will be Something like 10.7 then tough 🙁
If I just wc'd last international break...I don't and hating myself because of it 🙁
I can get him by doing Tadic, Cahill -> Di Maria, 4.1M defender. Which doesn't sound so appealing TBH.Not great option that.
Killed My ranking, but only way up is that he will have couple quiet weeks.
Not seeing it tough tbh.
Got Di Maria at 9.5, the week after his first game and capained him 2 weeks in a row, was great. 😀
:middlefinger:
😉
love you too, Sarcastic
Seems five midfielders is the way to go especially with Walcott returning, think midfielders will out do strikers ... i will get Walcott in when fit & downgrade Pelle
Same with me, hoping my mid and fwd will be:
Di Maria, Fabregas, Sterling, Walcott, Siggy
Costa, Aguero/Rooney, (Cheapie)Same midfield this side, difference is i will keep welbz & costa upfront.
lol you couldn't have sold a 3-5-2 on here last week.
I have wanted to go 3-5-2 since about week 3 but haven't, may do it come week 11 or 12
Hahahahahaha.... but also striking options are very many
Only way for me to get Baines without WCing is to take a -8. It would improve my defence fixture wise all round too. But it's not worth it, is it?
Depends who the people are, but probably not.
Begovic, Chester, Ferdinand > Guzan, Baines, Moore
Not worth it
Thought as much
I think its worth it.
-4 to take a QPR defender. Tick
-4 to take out the ultimate troll Begovic. Tick
And you get Baines..If only I didn't lose both ramsey and rooney. Would have been so much easier
No its not.
Why are people so obsessed with Walcott? He is going to take months to get up to speed, may never be the player he was
whoops , wrong thread
Forster (McCarthy)
Clyne / Shawcross / Naylor (Moore / Wisdom)
Fabregas / Sterling / Siggy / Downing (Lamela)
Costa / Aguero / Naismith
0.6 ITB. Wanting to get rid of Lamela and Naismith. Ideal replacements being ADM and Welbeck but obviously can't do this. Worth going for Chadli and playing 5 in the midfield? Any other thoughts?Which one to remove for Baines?
PVA/Wilson/Naylor/Hutton
I'm thinking PVA because of his fixtures..Has to be PvA. Didn't even realise how bad their fixtures turned until I checked the ticker earlier
Yup, thought so...
Thanks
I wonder if chambers will drop back down to 4.5 before his next start. Would be fantastic
Good option except he'll only get 3 points for a CS (-1 for mandatory YC)
Similar to Cahill 😛
I doubt it. He is only suspended for 1 game. One thing that could happen is he may lose his place if Bellarin/Monreal have a blinder. 😛
First day of the break and is already being sold. It's not impossible When you consider his next start isn't for another 3 weeks
Chester and DDG to Baines and 4.5 (Krul, Guzan, Foster, etc) for -4 worth it?
The only problem would mean I would have 0.1 ITB and will have Downing as my 4th mid. Will be very hard to upgrade him :/It's a good point about downing which I hadn't considered previously. But I suppose it would be a downgrade of Baines after the fixtures turn? Or maybe even aguero depending how he goes over the next few
So which one for the long run
A) Barkley and welbeck
B) Ramsey/Walcott/Ozil and Berahino/sakhoAre you just trolling or what?
No y? B) means an arsenal midfielder, not sure which one, the same goes for Berahino and sakho
Barkley, ramsey and Walcott are all injured...
Hence the statement, 'which one for the long run?'Unless they have season long injuries.
Why not consider Henderson?
He has the stats to back him up. In fact his stats are better than Fabregas.
The thing I like about Henderson is he is creating high quality chances (through balls, pull backs etc) simply because that's Liverpool's style. Whereas someone like Tadic is mainly crossing which translates to a much lower quality of chances...Henderson is the next Gerrard
well that would suck
I saw his potential and snapped him up few weeks ago. Very underrated playing in advanced midfeild role.will surely boost his appeal
Bottom line is he's only 6pts behind Sterling for 3.0 mill less.
So much this.
It's put a thought in my head and it's very very tempting...frees up much needed cash.
Courtois, Elliot
Clyne, Moreno, Wilson, Moore, Duff
Sterling, Fabregas, Siggurdson, di Maria, Boyd
Diego Costa, Aguero, Welbeck
2FT, 0.2 in the bank
Courtois and Moreno out for Mannone/Guzan and Baines is no brainer ?Yep I would
Cheers
Here's my current defense...
Ivan, Taylor, dummett, duff, Hutton
I'm thinking of swapping Ivan out for....
Azpilicueta, Taylor, Bertrand, dummett, Hutton
Is this a good move or should I keep it the way it is now?
Btw I have 2FT so no point hit.Who would you go with for the coming gameweeks?
A) Tadic, Aguero
B) Di Maria, Welbeck2 free transfers, 1.9m in bank, what do I do?
Forster Guzan
Bertrand bardsley n.taylor chambers Duff
Di maria Stirling Hazard Sigurdsen boyd
Costa Dzeko pelle
Thanks guys.A steady flow of points from Cahill appeals more than the explosion of Baines. Why do I feel this way?
Because you have grown accustomed with consistent mediocrity through prolonged exposure to Alan Pardew.
Because, right now, Baines is well below par. Unfortunately. Things may change, however - there is improvement this week.
Missed penalty, though.Also the injury of Stones along with EL means I'm hoping more on attacking returns than a CS from Baines. But he's still the more fun choice
Very poorly taken
Better to have Baines over ivanovic, but worth getting both?
Chelsea seem more defensive, maybe drop Ivan to azi instead?Will Baines play some part for the England squad during internationals ?
Yes.
Crap 🙂
@Doos
Care to chime in about my dilemma?
Have 1 FT and 1.7 banked. Need to ditch Ferdinand, but also have chester, kelly and PvA who ALL need to leave my team. Thinking of taking two out this week for a hit and keep my WCI agree. But you have to get in the right two - and that is not easy. Keep van Aanholt for now, despite fixtures.
Ferdinand and Kelly out.
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/2283/
Maybe Tomkins? Maybe Craig Dawson?I'm liking the look of west ham defence but can't seem to bring one in when priced at 5.0+
9 years, 8 months ago
So Di Maria is essential now? Worth dropping Hazard for him?
