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.
Krul / Elliot
Azpi / Clyne / Van Aanholt / Wilson / Hutton
Hazard / Tadic / Siggy / Downing / King
Aguero / Falcao / Costa
1 FT, 0.2m in the bank..
What would you suggest folks? 🙂
falcao to pelle,downing to di maria
Why would you get ADM for the next few weeks. Horrendous fixtures.
Not affordable. What about Downing and Azpi out for Eriksen and Moore?
Sounds good though I would take a punt on taylor at Newcastle. Surely he has a great chance to keep the cb spot after a cleanie, saves 0.1 too
Hey guys should I hit confirm on Fab and Naismith to Chadli and Pelle ??
What's your squad?
Forster Mannone
Baines Bertrand Naylor Duff Moore
ADM Fab Sterling Chadli Marney
Naismith Costa Aguero
ThanksOh and Siggy
I would chill on Chadli...he aint worth getting rid of Fab over mate. Try and work out a way to get Pelle in though.
But then having said that...you have what you can I think. Unless you downgrade a big hitter.
I think your done-ish.*you have all you could rather
Thanks feel I need a Southampton attacker though
Well you do....and I need ADM...but I can't have them all 😉 see what i'm saying.
I'd be shipping Costa asap
I hate how itunes infects your computer so I stick with android now.
Lol, reply fail
🙂 dirty isn't it!
aguero. best striker in the world?
No
care to elaborate?
suarez
aguero is a much better finisher imo. suarez better at making something from nothing.
Far too inconsistent, really had a bad WC aswell. Suarez is better (not just in creating chances), he slipped through defences for fun last year.
Best PvA replacement for 4.5m?
sorry, that was meant to be a post 🙂
Yes, I don't think Aguero's going to join Newcastle's back line in the January transfers 🙂
Would be a pricey defender for fpl 🙂
Dawson or Chambers
Thanks 🙂
Chambers definetly.
LOL
Everyone knows CR is the best player in the world.
"striker"
Him or Suarez IMO.
top 5
don't just say that. who's ahead?
Perhaps not the best, but he's up there as one of the best.
Messi better than both
messi is not a stiker. i wasn't including ronaldo or messi. oh well
If you don't class Messi as a striker, then he's the best after Suarez
@BenDinnery: Mourinho confirms Costa will miss the midweek UCL game versus Maribor & has a "chance" for #MUFC albeit "small" #CFC
Interesting, thanks for this.
Oh boy.
Had him from the start, seems mad to get rid unless we hear something more concrete so holding for now.
same here yeah
So basically we know nothing new
May have to sell...SO much money tied up in him, though.
he[ll start v Utd.....he's being rested not injured
That's just guesswork
sometimes you have to read between the lines
So from the Luxembourg match till United he will have had what nearly two weeks rest? He plays.
mourinho said he is resting costa for the spain internationals
he thinks costa will be 100% by then, wants him fit as a fiddle
Q1) Who to get rid of? Di Maria or Sterling? Di Maria has tough fixtures, Sterling might get rotated.
Q2) Best Di Maria/Sterling replacement?
1) Sanchez
2) Ramsey
3) Tadic
4) Other?
Why would you get rid of Di Maria?
Scoring goals isn't Uniteds problem it's conceding them. ADM will be fine.Fair point but Arsenal, Chelsea and City won't be that big of pushovers. Sanchez has really easy fixtures in comparison.
Yeah and Liverpool's aren't bad either. Is there not a way you can squeeze an Arsenal mid in elsewhere?
I have Welbeck. Might be enough 😉
Arsenal aren't goal crazy
I'd ship Di Maria, but not yet until Saturday, because he could still rise...I'm thinking of getting one of those 3 in as well. Probably Ramsey, because I can afford him without a hit, but I'd get Sanchez as my frist choice.
alarming stats for siggy owners
What stats are those? Could have had 2 assists and a goal in first 30 mins but wasn't to be.
He didn't have a single shot today
I was about 6 beers in by this point but I swore I thought he had a chance midway through the first half. (After his 2 potential assist chances if you watched the game)
this is where stats can be poo. he tried to dribble the keeper and messed up so didnt get a shot away. the ball doesn't get away and he's round the keeper and passing into an empty net
Fair enough. didn't watch the game so just going by the article
That's the one. Keeper rushed him so he couldn't dink it. Going round the keeper was the best option I think but his touch was too heavy. You are right, stats don't tell the story.
They do over a period of time, and he is on the slide.
Hmm, I'll keep an eye on them then. From watching it though he set two through on goal with nice through balls and if they had their finishing boots on he would have had another 10 pointer. Got bigger things to worry about at the minute but will be watching Siggy if the stats do suggest that.
thinking of getting rid after Lei....
He will be gone before, for me.
Was through on goal right at the beginning, and could have had a couple of assists. Britannia isn't an easy place to go. You'd be crazy to sell
more to do with stats over last 5 gw's
I'm not a member so wouldn't know. He usually looks pretty dangerous when I watch Swansea, so that's good enough for me
Anyone else need a Tadic (minimum) performance out of Di Maria tomorrow?
Dropped to 441 OR and despite having 18 points on the bench only 2 is coming off in to my first XI. But concerned about the effect of Aguero VCs and bench players hitting my OR!Average score is going to be ridiculously high this week.
Bollocks.
441st. Boo hoo.
+42. Ridiculous.
441 OR #FPLproblems
tough world this dropping to 441. what a tragedy
Eh, who said it was a tragedy you miserable lot? Are you not allowed to discuss ranks and stats on this place unless you have had a shocker?
No they just don't appreciate complaining when you are not exactly doing bad.
Didn't mean it as a complaint. Just genuinely interested in the thoughts of those in all kinds of positions about what points are due to come from benches and VCs and how that affects us all.
Agreed. When people post "score check?" And have average points it's fine. But with the exact same post with a high amount they are being a fool.
Will Taylor rise tonight, he's on 99% on fpl statistics?
It is just possible. I really hope so.
I'd say no - but could be wrong. With Leicester up next he has a good chance before deadline, though.
Howard/Myhill
Baines/Naylor/Bert & Clyne/Chambers
Fab/Sig/Ster/Boyd/Alb
Costa/Pelle/Aguero
Just made transfers, i'm done, how is looking fellas?
Walcott likely to start the next match? Might consider swapping him for Siggy
Won't know until Thursday
No
no
No chance. Wenger will ease him back gently, at least two bench warming matchdays ahead of Theo.
2 FT, 2.0 ITB, thinking wildcard time..thoughts?
Begovic Gilks
Terry Clyne Wisdom Duff Ferdinand
Sterling Fabregas ADM Siggy Albrighton
Costa pelle dzeko
HelpI think you can save it you know.. Terry & Dzeko out. Straight swaps. Work on your defence the next week. Not worth your WC...regret using mine 2 weeks ago with Aggy coming into form now..Pshhh!!
437 Total Points.
Finally Might Get Chance Rid Of Aluko (0 Points & Have Him Since Start) This Wk 🙂 .
What Mid Under 5M Bring In 4 Rotation Have Fab ADM, Sterling, Silva.
Wanyama/Cork or Boyd
Thanks, any opinion on Albrighton Leic or McCarthy at Everton either. Cork & Wanyama seem options too
Obertan
Anybody else really getting tempted to smash up the template midfield and transfer out Fabregas?
Never owned Fábregas, never will.
Di María, Sterling, Tadic, Sigurdsson for the win, 😎Why don't you like Fabregas?
To chadli I'm thinking
that already crossed my mind...but i think he's worth it....
he used to cost 12m at arsenal. 9m is a bargain
It's preference isn't it.. Fab has been consistent and made me some nice cash since start of season, so he is must for me.
Think he peaked at 11.5. He didn't play in the double pivot there so it's a false comparison.
He played CAM in Arsenal and was on penalties when RVP wasn't fit which was quite often
Parms clearly bitter he/she messed up and didn't catch the Fabwagon from the off 😉 judging by the look off that midfield.
Costa (C) -->Failed
Di Maria (v) --> Safe my ass. I even hate Utd.Must have a tight bum.
Just spat everywhere with laughter!!
evening lads...what's the best option in your opinion...
Baines & sakho or Jagielka&pelle....
help me here...thanksHmm
BB
Just watched Valencias header again, his one of the best if not the best in the PL at heading, any other great aerial threats you can remember in the PL ? Big Dunc and Dion Dublin for me
Timmy Cahill
Yep good shout, speically considering his size, unbelievable air time and timing
Bojan
Shearer
NiAl Quinn
Yep lots of deft flicks for assist too, Rosler and Phillips i beleive would have benefited well
Shaun Wright-Phillips.
LOL 😀
Andy Gray if you go back a bit
I'll go back a bit - Joe Jordan
Dixie Dean then. His record season when scored 60 goals, 40 were with his head apparently!
Winner alright
Ronaldo was actually good too and Les Ferdinand
Hernandez
Yep similar to Tim Cahill
Good shouts all round, something beautiful about watching a bullet header fly in the top corner
@Wakey
Just looked at your table on mids. *sigh* Might have to talk myself back out of dropping Sterling. If only Siggy was worth more . . . .http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/1373/
I won't be. Sigurdsson, on the other hand ...S'pose it has a lot to do with how you organise the table. I want very much to be confident in dropping Sterling, but I suppose it will always be a leap of faith.
Btw,, going to a wine tasting at a Moselle cave in Trier tomorrow. Know anything about Moselle wines? The Rieslings I have tasted (which I generally don't like) have been pretty amazing.
A)chadli
B)diameA. Love Diame, but his fixtures are ugly for a while.
Wilson, Fab, Ulloa out for Jagielka, Chadli, Pellè.
Good idea for -4? x)
My squad is:
Forster, Guzan
Clyne, Ivan, Wilson, Duff, Hutton
Di Maria, Fab, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Cattermole
Costa, Aguero, UlloaLooking ahead thinking of skimping on defence with such value to be had.
Chambers, Alcaraz and Rose.
Allows Siggy>Ramsey/Feo week after next.....
Grrrrrrr can FPL please remove Lovren's flag!!!!!
... or put one on the entire Liverpool defence? 😉
Urgh... These transfers I'm tinkering are so small but can have such a huge impact on my performance.
Just going to get Jagielka in and save an FT I think.I am also struggling ...
Really really struggling, have so many choices:
Clyne + ADM out to get in Flavour of the month Baines + Tadic, but would also really need to sell Moreno at the same time.
Moreno to Jagielka
Moreno + Fab to Baines + Eriksen
Bla bla bla so tough...You will regret selling ADM and Clyne!
Is tadic really worth bringing in? I struggle to see why. His stats are awesome but before this week his return is only 3 assists and approx avg of 3.5pts per game. For the 7.6 you could have siggy it chadli and save 1m+ or even super Frank and save 2m.
Also tough fixtures in a few weeks. I'm defo not jumping on the tadic bandwagon.
I do wish I had him this gw tho!
He reminds me of Hazard...enough said..
Pick top three midfielders through the end of year...
Fabregas, Sterling
Not sure who else...From now?
Di María, Sánchez & Sterling.Fabregas, Di Maria, Sanchez
Thinking of using the WC this week. Really want to get Sanchez in but the midfield glut, Costa's mystery injury and fitting in Aguero is doing my head in...current MF is Fab, ADM, Sterling, Siggy and Zaha.
Is Alcaraz nailed on?
No, Sir. He ain't.
Much obliged
Evening guys, currently on:
Begovic
Ivanovic Clyne Moore
Fabregas Sterling Siggy Downing
Costa Kun Pelle
Hamer PVA Duff Albrighton
2FT, 1.8 itb
Can i have your opinion on some of the options?
A) PVA + Downing => Hutton + Tadic
B) PVA + Downing => Wisdom + Eriksen
C) PVA + Sterling => Tadic + Baines
D) Begovic + Downing => Foster + Eriksen
E) PVA => Hutton, save 1 FT
F) other
I like B
allright,thx for the input
If Costa is injured...my team next week might be:
Begovic
Baines Clyne Wisdom
Sterling Fabregas Sigurdsson Di Maria
Welbeck Aguero Pelle
1.2M ITB
Bench: Gilks, Duff, Moore, Marney@BenDinnery: Mourinho confirms Costa will miss the midweek UCL game versus Maribor & has a "chance" for #MUFC albeit "small" #CFC
Means nothing. Hes a bloody liar anyway.
Considering freeing up funds for eventual move back to Costa after shipping him for Aguero Friday night (I plan to keep Kun). Also don't like the looks of Liverpool. Thoughts on the following?
1) Sterling >
C) Chadli
E) Eriksen
T) Tadic
2) Moreno >
C) Chambers
D) Dawson
R) Rose (or Kaboul, I suppose)
T) Tomkins
I already have Naylor, the other obvious suspect in this price bracket. Thanks for weighing in.
