With West Brom and Man United set to see out the Gameweek tomorrow, we delve into the data from the nine matches played so far. Unsurprisingly, Man City, Southampton and West Ham’s in-form front men are on this evening’s agenda, whilst we also cast an eye over a couple of improving north London-based midfielders.

Where to use my 1FT?
A - Costa
B - Backline (Baines in?)
C - Save
Foster - Krul
Wilson Naylor Duff - PVA Chester
Tadic Fab Siggy Sterling - Marney
Costa Aguero Welbeck
B: Baines in somehow.

1. Which team should I pick?
2. Am I missing any players with better fixtures?
Thanks
You could have saved some time and just asked baines and Tadic or jags and sterling! Baines and Tadic for me.
Team is pretty standard so depends if you want to take some punts.
Who would you get rid of first?
A. Chester - poor fixtures, poor defence, rotation risk, chance of the odd goal
B. PVA - poor fixtures, even poorer defence, chance of the odd assist
Thanks
still chester
Thanks!
They both need to go so it doesn't really matter which goes first. Probably Chester though
I agree. Thanks
I'd bin whoever looks most likely to drop in price first.
That'll be Chester
News on Costa?
Chadli > Tadic?Can we have a show of hands if you're ditching costa for aguero?
did that in gwk 3
I was going to but I decided ulloa out welbeck in looks better. I looked at the chelsea fixtures they look good I can always switch some other time squad now strong enough without costa.
Should I sell Balotelli this week? I've kept faith in him this long, so I might as well keep him for Hull at home right?
I'm tempted to do Balotelli + Coloccini to Baines and Welbeck
I would make those moves
Do it.
Do it. Balo is useless
Yeah, I think you need to get rid. It's not even as if he is being unlucky. Looks so far off the pace it's unreal
He was dreadful today. I'd have thought Lambert will get the nod either midweek or next weekend.
I think in City he was surrounded with a lot of players who were goal and attacking threat. I think this time he has to be the one, the main striker and it is difficult for him. I would sell him if I were u
IMPORTANT QUESTION I am sure most are thinking.
Spend the big bucks on Baines (possibly even if it means taking a hit to make it happen) or just cheap out with Jagielka...
(would be taking out Moreno)Baines every time for me. Jagielka's goal run will dry up - not so certain on Baines' supply of assists and bonus.
I am pro Baines too, but what about Ivanovic? Is he too worth his money? I have both and haven't got Ivanovic for his big hauls beginning of hte season. No attacking pts for me. Is he worth keeping? Not so sure atm
Baines. Jagielka is not the poor man's Baines; he is the homeless man's Baines.
I want to transfer iva with baines cos the former seems to have cooled off and the latter seems to be rising. It'll be a straight swap with no additional cost. Yay or nay?
Yay

2FT; £0.3m in the bank.
Just Ferdinand to Chambers(leaves me nothing in the bank) and save the other FT?Yep.
Have you given up on the draft game already?Well, did you see how bad the draft went for me? 😆
Silly queue thingy didn't work, Berahino round 1 😎In that case, I've sent you a trade request.....
🙂
Yeah, good team
Fanks
Any suggestions for this team? I am stuck for ideas...
Begovic krul
Baines terry clyne pva wisdom
Fabregas sterling adm siggy Marney
Costa pelle Naismith
1.5m in the bank
1ftyou could save it or berahinho in for naismith
Can you afford siggy and Naismith to Barkeley and well beck?
BEST Cheap striker for next GW ?
A- Sakho v.s Man City (H)
B- Berahino v.s Crystal Palace (H)
C- Naismith v.s Burnley (A)
D- Welbeck but use the 2 FT Ulloa & Zaha > Welbeck & 4.3 Mid playerBerahino could do well
Anyone else notice the amount of Liverpool fans in the QPR end celebrating that winner ? LOL that wouldnt have gone down too well at Upton Park let me tell you
I thought the athmosphere was excellent,no reason why football fans shouldn't be able to mix.More of a credit to the fans if anything.
Very true
Any Everton fans on here? Or other people who know how many GW's Alcaraz will be starting. Is he a good option, or should i go with Kaboul?
After watching motd i dont think il
Be gettting rid of sterling anytime soon
Don't understand why folk are ditching..he looked really good.
Think mostly to afford baines or aguero
shining light in a poor outfit
i watched the game - trust me sterling was ordinary
Yup, though I'd argue that Yun was good.
Dont think we were watching the same match.
i am sure we were. did you watch him last season. do you watch him for england. he was hiding out wide and not getting many touches. he used to sit in the hole and dictate the whole game.
Was running at players leaving them for dead, created numerous chances and was involved in all 3 goals.
first half yes. 2nd half he was excellent
The bandwagon to sell is an odd one.
i was considering it to get baines and was thinking of replacing him with tadic.
He's struggling with Balotelli. Nothing is sticking up front. Rodgers won't let that continue. I'm holding.
Giving him the hull game then reasses.
He is doing very very well, but Balotelli is killing so much of his potential, thank God Qpr defenders got a touch for those own goals instead of Balo getting the touch.
Still keeps getting points though. Just keep thinking once liverpool click he will get some monster hauls.
Oh I'm keeping, its just annoying Sturridge isn't there.
It has all the hallmarks of a burn sell.
I only seen the first half and I was delighted to have zero Liverpool representation. Sterling is the only real option for them at the moment and if I had, I don't think I would be shifting anytime soon. Still scoring decent without dazzling is a good sign
He was a lot better second half.
First half I wasn't impressed but his run created Liverpool's second and his ball in forced the og kinda. I don't know what all this Gerrard in the hole stuff is about. He hasnt the legs for that.
Anyone else get rodgered by the Seahawks tonight??
Didnt back them after last weeks performence, i think they are in decline now, Cowboys or Eagles my outside choices for superbowl
Chargers maybe?
Fancy Giants to cover spread tonight comfortably.Ive got the Cowboys on the sprad as part of my treble, Colts already up will be waiting for the Broncos on the spread tonight, tbh i thought the Cowboys would be well ahead by now, hope the Cowboys do it coz it keeps me interested in the latenight c4 game tonight 🙂
Giants , jags and saints for my upset treble, looking good
(Saints +3)
Packers if Rodgers keeps this up I reckon. Defence need to step it up though.
Let's go Eagles!!
Really poor defence, offense not much better, despite how well Wilson played, and that Punt fake by the Rams....
Punt fake was ballsy. Class call,,,even if it ultimately cost me a few quid
It was amazing. They got away with a fumble though.
any extra hope for the niners then?
Will lose to Denver. But think they will cover the spread
I mean for topping the NFC West....
Making my transfers this week is going to be a good feeling. Can't wait to kick some of the feckers out.
lol
Foster - Mannone
Clyne - Chambers - Naylor - Hutton - Moore
ADM - Fab - Sterling - Siggy - Boyd
Costa - Aguero - Pelle
2 FTs, nothing itb
Was thinking of doing Naylor -> Jagielka and Sterling -> Eriksen
Already have Pelle so I don't think getting in Tadic as well is wise.
Good moves?@ Wakey.
I love your approach to the game, it sounds fun battling your son. I have been looking at the stats for the last 2 weeks and am loving the look of Eriksen.
So who to lose from ADM, Sterling and Fab.
As stipulated, I will obviously watch the game tomorrow.
ADM imo, fixtures are poor, and so are UTD - really!
ADM is playing a much higher position than he's being given credit for. Furthest forward two weeks ago and splitting RVP and Falcao last week....Rooney ADM Falcao RVP is being underestimated imo...plenty of pts for ADM no matter who they play.
I honestly wouldn't lose any of those if you want a good OR...I assume you have Siggy as well, so maybe Siggy > Eriksen but they do more or less the same job (kicks/corners creativity)...
OR 486 and went Siggy to Tadic last week.
Lovely..
Same thing though...Siggy is perhaps coming to the end of his run...Tadic Eriksen and Siggy all fall into that mid priced playmaker role...
- The Case For Coleman
Repost from bottom of last page.
Why not a love fest for Coleman? The guy is a fantasy point magnet.
He's only played 4 games + a cameo 6 minute appearance to start the season. He had an unlucky own goal in the game Everton gave up 6 to the mighty Chelsea, but overall his stats are awesome.
Week 2 - 1G for 7 pts.
Week 3 - (the chelsea game) 1A
Week 4 - CS 6 pts.
Week 8 - 1G, CS 13 pts.
So in summary.... 4 games, 2 goals, 1 assist and 2 clean sheets.
I think he could be a slight differential from all the Baines owners as he will score more goals even though he's not on PK's, all the while picking up the CS's that Baines is getting as well.Baines is the safer option and will outscore him more in the long run
This has crossed my mind, if Costa is out, im considering Clyne Costa> Coleman Pelle
Should say that would mean Baines Coleman double, and Clyne will be going coz not enough Saint spots, and i want to start planning ahead coz atm i have double Saints defense and it wont be good in 4 weeks
Because of Baines and because he is Irish does not get as much hype
Maith an buachaill!!
The pricing of the two this year makes it automatic Baines. Unless you insist on having an inferior differential to win you some H2H matches.
So you think Coleman is inferior to Baines or is inferior to other Defenders as well? I guess you could make the case that anyone compared to Baines is technically "inferior". But if everyone has Baines, which is the way it's going now, why wouldn't you want the next best thing owned by half as many teams? Look at Costa before his injury. Owners were afraid to not Captain him because so many teams had him that they wouldn't be able to keep up. Owning Baines is the Defense equivalent to Costa IMO. He's essential.....but not essential at the same time because of the Aguero's and Coleman's out there.
What's the point in having a different player to everyone else...if that player is gonna score less points?
and you're gonna do this ON PURPOSE to boot!?
glwt!
😆
Well in all fairness..lets be honest...we all know how shitty Everton defense has been so far...Its just that this week they've outplayed villa & now i hear people thinking about doubling up on their defense.. Bit of a Knee-jerking imo
they had one of the hardest set of opening fixtures
and that tough schedule included Crystal Palace who Everton play poorly every time, as well as Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool away & ManU away
same defense as last season which did quite well
I don't understand why people look only at form without considering the strength of the fixtures, and how teams typically play against the opponents they play
Both Coleman 7 Baines are equally options, but Baines has penos to match colemans goal, and assists aswell.
Also, Baines will be less suspectible to a low patch in form (penos).
I think it'll be close at the end of the season, but Baines just makes more sense for the same pricejesus, i should check my posts for typos...
Yes, but considering the options you have upfront, how do you manage to arrange fund for Baines or Coleman? I've gone for Jags 🙂
I completely agree. Coleman has played half the minutes of Baines this season. If he double his goals/assists he would have 4 goals and 2 assists compared with Baines' 1 goal and 5 assists.
Everton clearly have amazing fixtures so signing one of Coleman or Baines would be a good idea as long as it is doable without wrecking your team. Yes Jagielka has done well too but it is unlikely he will score throughout the season, based on previous years.
The choice is very close I think, Baines does very well in the BPS which is a big plus for him. Coleman was explosive last year and looks to be repeating that form. For those looking right now Coleman is also 0.2 mill cheaper and has a lower ownership (relevant for both current budget and potential for future rises)
I would love it if someone wrote an article on this. One thing I think which is people saying go for Baines because he has pens should realise pens and a very rare set piece are Baines' only chance of scoring so its very unlikely he will match Coleman for goals.think you should also see Innsie's community article on bonus hounds: http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/10/15/baseline-bonus-in-attack-and-defence/
basically, Jagielka does well for getting bonus when the team gets a clean sheet and the other defenders don't get attacking pointsand should add... barring injury, my starting defense the next four weeks is
Clyne Bertrand Coleman Bainesyour defense is amazing. I have Clyne plus 2 southampton players (not def), ivanovic (don't want to use a transfer on him yet) and 3 x 4.0 def (will upgrade one to Baines or Coleman). I think Coleman and Baines will destroy Jagielka for total points.
Serious sample size issues here...
the same logic of doubling colemans returns says that Sakho will finish the season with 30 goals (he's good, but I doubt it!).Right because Baines' 8 games is a huge sample. Last season Coleman outscored Baines
I'm seriously debating between which of the two to get in this GW.
I think there's a slight mental block against Coleman, because I got him for 5m last year.
Baines is getting more touches going forward, Coleman is more of a threat in the box.
Coleman should be fresher this week - there'll probably not be much in it points wise over the season.
Baines is probably the safer option.
How many goals has Tadic scored this season?
Answer this question, and you'll stop rushing to get him in.
Sure he's good - but he's not as good as people are making out (i.e virtually essential)
Ssshh, let them carry on. We know. 😉
How many goals has Fabregas got this season ?
Add Siggy to the list. The top 3 point scoring Mids have only scored once each. So perhaps it's better to not focus on this one stat.
wow, that's very surprising
Didn't say he was essential chap.
lol, brave lad. He's getting 20 odd every week from now on don't you know?
Chasing last weeks points...you know how it goes on here.....
Of course he's not essential and he won't score 23 again but his stats have been great all season and he's been unlucky not to score 10+ in other games.
Please nobody get him.
I think Barkley will outscore him next five gameweeks
i still think when he gets regular time that Mane will be the better pick of the two.
I'm definitely considering doubling on that pair when Siggy has his stiff run.
i considered it but it would mean too much upheaval for me as I have Pelle ,Toby and Mane as it is
Can't believe I'm considering Eriksen again, this is just asking for trouble 😕
no, he's scoring goals and fixtures are getting better.
Did Silva -> Eriksen to afford Aguero. Hoping he's running into great form and his fixtures help.
Best defender duo for 9.1? Currently have Naylor and Wilson, considering maybe Kaboul and Wisdom? Also have Baines, Clyne, Duff.
Kaboul and Wisdom yeah or Chambers and Konchesky perhaps.
exact same defence as mine,not too worried about it tbh
Sterling > Barkley
Costa > Aguero
Front 7 being:
Siggy/Fab/Tadic/Sterling(obviously)
Costa/Pelle/Welbeck
Madness?different
Yes
Being sans Aguero is driving me nuts,and this injury cloud hanging over Costa sure isnt helping... i should probably stick with what ive got shouldn't i?
So I broke into the sub 5k club this week! 50 000 to 4152 xD. Thanks Aguero(c)!
Good work!
the week isn't over yet lol enjoy it til tomorrow night anyway
yeh i know haha. Still got ADM to play though
It's not about ADM to play, but the ones who get their vc-points from Aguero.
Have exactly 4.3 to downgrade Zaha to Albrighton.
Would mean I can bring in Baines.
As a 5th mid that will never play, is Albrighton a good shout??Yeah, Albrighton is the best 4.3 mid atm.
thanks mate.
DONE. I'm a Baines owner again and it FEELS GOOD!Would have felt better if you were an owner before the deadline 😉
I've had baines since gw 1, so glad I kept the faith!
He wasn't good for me when I had him, he de-valued my team by 0.2m, but if it's to get in Baines it's probably worth it.
His game time has been limited so far.
A shame you don't have 0.1 more for Obertan or Boyd as they will both play regularly and like this week both delivered a few points and IMO a playing bench is essential.
is alcaraz an option? how long is stones out for?
Someone's enjoying the Hulk tool tonight!
😯
cheap attempt 😛
🙁
Are we likely to get any news about Costa? Jeez even as I typed that I already knew the answer, this is Jose we're talking about 😆
I decided to keep him the only decent defences he has to play against until gw 20 is west brom and Southampton and arguably Sunderland (sho should tighten up again)
Opinion on this team guys? Right to captain Kun? Baines & Tadic for Terry & Sterling done yesterday to catch the rises:
Forster (4.0)
Baines - Kompany - Bertrand (Wisdom / Duff)
Downing - Tadic - ADM - Siggy (King)
Costa - Kun - Welbeck
1.3m ITB
9 years, 6 months ago1) fab + chester to chadli + baines
2) sterling + tomkins to chadli + baines
