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.
OK so to get in Aguero, I have to lose one of Costa or Fabregas.
Which of these works better:
A) Costa to Aguero and Ulloa to Sakho
B) Ulloa to Aguero and Fabregas to Diame
A seems better
A
B. Losing Costa will not be good in the long term.
B for sure, you will scramble for him soon. (i.e his last hat trick)
Weirdly. RMT thinks both are worse than my team as it is.
A would also allow me to either upgrade Chadli to Tadic or Terry to Baines.
It's really hard to decide. At the moment, A looks better.
A
There once was a poster called Innsie
Most others said taking Fabs out looked flimsy
But lo and behold Baines produced the goods
He thought Chadli would produce goals and assists in floods
But at least he avoided Azpi's wincie.
... pretty crap 🙂 Enjoy the DZ!Floods and goods don't rhyme.
Was thinking that but maybe they do in a north east or scottish accent
Love it RCA 🙂
@ O'Shaghnessy:
Nice week. And great season so far. Congrats on being #1 in Canada. Keep it up!Nice. I'm 30th in Australia in UFPL!
Wow. Just looked at his OR -- go for it all, man!
Mentioned last night that the DZ is easily the best time to be on the site.
Arguing here is a big part of why we all excel.
Tempered excitement though, with all the Costa-captainers & auto-subs yet to be factored in.
Oh, & let's not forget ADM & RVP yet to play...
Nice! I'd be #2 in Canada if my country was correct 😉
Why, what happened?
Where do you *live*?Guess I signed up initially years ago under England and won't let me change now sadly. I'm in the Toronto area. You?
Lived around College & Dovercourt area for years...
College & Dufferin / College & Bathurst
Nice! I'm out East in Durham. Good to know there's other fellow FPL fanatics locally though. Now I know who I'm chasing 😆
I have budget exactly for these moves. Should I do it now?
Costa + Sterling + Moreno ->> Aguero + Eriksen + Baines
Alternative is to keep Costa, but I’m doubt if any news will be available soon enough.
Welbeck + Di Maria + Moreno ->> Aguero + Milner + Baines
no
Is it because of Costa?
yes
Is baines likely to go up anytime soon?
Not today at least. Come Thursday there's a good chance I reckon
He went up last night (along with Tadic & Aguero). Even with the rush to get them, they should only rise once more this week.
Gameweek rank is up to 196. I never could have dreamed of such a haul -- it has changed my entire season.
Very nice! 🙂
Well done mate 🙂
Wow. A jump from 380k to 6.5k is spectacular. Keep it up!
Just remember how it can all go the other way too.
From 9k to 200k...
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1333289/event-history/8/ 😯
So... Keep frosty! Stay sharp!Jesus, that is not a bad looking team!
Posted above, but you are seriously in the front page conversation now. Hope you hold strong after the adjustments at the end of the gameweek. Good luck and keep climbing!Ok, that is more spectacular... and he'll have O'Shea off the bench for -2.
Nice!
You've nearly caught me and by all rights I've had a decent week. 😯
Cheers all, and good luck tomorrow.
That assist to the Coleman goal must have been orgasmic (or something of the sort)
Morning DZ.
I ended up with Sterling and StevieG and I want to ship one now for Tadic... Seems like chasing points but he is still a huge differential atm that could help me go up in OR
What you guys think?Gerrard to Tadic is a great transfer imo.
Was thinking of keeping StevieG as a differential as well 😉 and selling Sterling for Tadic but he keeps on getting points!
Do you guys think that Sterling might get rest more often from now on.. Pool in CL and most of midfield players back from injuriesAm confused on what to do as well. Hopefully some more will be known after the midweek matches...
Not a wise plan imo. Sterling is dominating the stats for midfielders and will always play in a more advanced position.
Yeah that's what I'm worried about, I think I have at least a day or two more to decide before Tadic will rise again?
I'd sell StevieG. Sterling is more than enough
Is Chadli -> Tadic a good move or a bit too knee-jerky?
Bit of a knee-jerk reaction. Chadlii was playing against Citeh after all and Saints won't win 8-0 every week.
Yeah, I thought as much. Thanks Ryan.
Knee jerk
Don't do it
PvA and Siggy --> Jags and Downing for free look good to you guys?
No I don't like that trade. I don't think Jags is worth the price and Downing has started to drop off slightly. I also think its a week too soon to get rid of Siggy. Maybe just sell PVA?
Siggy is at home to Leicester next
Didn't mean it as a reply
Yep, thats why its a good idea to keep him for that fixture.
Prob is I have no one to replace him with. I'm just reaching for moves right now. I even thought about selling Sterling and PaV for Baines and downing.... I'll try to squeez some value from hutton.
Siggy still have ok fixtures to keep. Jags and Downing are not urgent buy.
tx guys. I have 2FT but can't really bring in the players I want right now.
best option?
1.sterling - clyne
2.tadic - Jags/or Kompany
*rest of def for bth above: baines - bert1
1
ok
Krul, Foster
Baines, Azpilicueta, Caulker, Clyne, Moore
Di Maria, Fabregas, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Boyd
Pelle, Welbeck, Costa
0.2M & 1FT
Suggestions as to what moves to make?
Easy. Caulker to Chambers. QPR are toilet and Arsenal have good fixtures coming up
Thanks
cant believe Gerrard got most bonus points this season (10) with 2 goals and just one assist
A. Chadli + pelle
B. tadic + welbeck
Which pair would you rather have?A
A
B
A
Cheers, that's what my gut says. But brain thinks welbeck better option.
B) & it's not even close for me.
Pelle & Welbeck are pretty close.
Then, I think the stats favour having Tadic over Chadli big time.
(Not to mention Tadic is on spot kicks & pens)
Good evening DZ, this is my 3rd season of playing properly , the seasons before i done endless transfers and hits and didn't take the game seriously,i joined this site pre season and absolutely love it, im currently ranked 654 overall and its all mostly thanks to this site and in particular the DZ thats when im on here most, so just wanna say thanks and give some credit to all the intelligent views and discussions on here 🙂 obviously my rank will drop but still its a big improvement to my previous seasons and i will be happy with top 50k, anyway big shoutout and thanks to this site, all the posters and the DZ 🙂
Congrats on your current rank.
Stick around and no reason you can't stay up there.You're welcome.
Well played so far!
Cheers lads 🙂
Which to get next week?
A Sanchez
B hazard
C admA
A
C.
C
What to do with this lot?
Foster (Mannone)
Baines Bertrand Chambers (Wisdom Moore)
ADM Sterling Tadic Siggy (Boyd)
Aguero Costa Welbeck
2FT. 0ITB.
If Costa is not injured and Wisdom plays tomorrow, is there any transfer worth making? May have to let a FT slide...Perfect team. Nothing I can suggest
Chambers is a waste of space.
Seems the best option at 4.5m.
Dawson(WBA)
Already have Wisdom.
Cameron then. Slim pickings.
That's why I prefer Chambers.
You know your team is good and just showing off 😉
It was good this week. But that all changes very quickly in this game.
Maybe swap Mannone out. Really tough fixtures coming, and wouldn't be surprised if Poyet drops him for Pantilimon after his performance on Saturday.
Thanks. I'd swap him for Guzan if I had the 0.1m but I don't.
Evening gents
Thinking of doing
Pelle -> Welbeck
Costa -> Aguero
Silva -> Tadic
What do we think? Too kneejerk or well worth doing?
will be -4Knee jerk city IMO. Would only consider Silva out
Pelle -> Welbeck
Silva -> Tadic
worth doing just those 2, no hits and 2mill saved if i want to get aguero for costa after or upgrade ulloaFor free? I like it though don't think there's much between Pelle and Tadic. Might I suggest you upgrade Ulloa to Welbeck and Silva to Downing who is great cover for Siggys tough upcoming fixtures
Not a bad shout.
Im a west ham fan so prefer not to include any players for jinxing reasons 😉
Cheers tho
Not sure why you'd want to sell Pelle.
as it's the only way to get tadic in 😛
Not sure its worth it tbh. Silva -> Tadic only perhaps?
too many southampton players then
see above
silva - tadic
pelle - welbeck
?I think you biggest issue is Ulloa and Silva. I'd be looking to get rid of those two and Tadic is by no means essential. Its too awkward to bring him in as you've maxed out on Saints players.
Team is
Forster
Baines, Clyne, Duff (moore,wisdom)
Adm, Siggy, Sterling, Silva*, Fabregas
Costa*, Pelle*, UlloaSilva + ulloa > aguero + boyd
ulloa -> aguero leaves me 2.5 mill 😛
Who is your 3rd striker? Ditch them for aguero
I suspect many are looking to get rid of Siggy after the Leicester game. His stats are underwhelming and his fixtures get really tough. Is there any reason to keep him if he has another blank?
I just can't sell him, not this early anyway. Bony was the main issue today. Surely Monk will either sort him out or drop him.
Chadli is very tempting, its just the ownership issue what puts me off
Not sure why ownership is a factor when he's not playing well and they have tough fixtures. To me its a good opportunity to jump on a better wagon and be rewarded for it whilst the heard continue to hold on.
Nah. I saw the game today and granted if he had rounded the keeper/taken the easy shot or if Ki had put away his chance etc he would have had more points but when isn't that the case? Swansea don't score that many to begin with so not too much downside in taking a chance on someone else imo.
I'm looking to ship for Sanchez, hazard or adm next week.
Means selling Cahill before QPR but it's an upgrade whichever way you look at itYeah I'm likely to save a FT and use 2 freebies to downgrade Ivan and upgrade Siggy to a big hitter.
We have practically the same team
Marks team is similar as well.
Good week all round then 🙂
Siggy to Sanchez sounds juicy, after reading this i had a little tinker, can afford Clyne Siggy Costa > Chambers Sanchez Pelle, not going to do it but if Costa was out for a while confirmed and it was only a -4 would have been mighty tempting
Rose or Chambers?
Chambers
Rose
PvA --> Alcaraz worth a shot? I have 2 FT and no other obv moves to make. 0 ITB
That makes sense to me
Will Alcaraz even be a starter?
Didn't hear anything about Distin being hurt so maybe he's lost the spot? That's all I can hope for right now.
Its a decent punt. I hear Distin is out of favour. With Stones out Alcaraz is a good bet.
I'm struggling to convince myself Costa is worth 3m more than Pelle
have both
I'm not selling Welbeck or Aguero in the near future
Im struggling to convince myself that Pelle is worth 2.5mil more than Sakho
So basically; if you don't mind struggling for a while one could work from Costa to Sahko.
Good point but I prefer Soton, and their fixtures, and Pelle looks like a big hitter in the making. Can't really compare to Sakho cos I haven't seen enough of him
I'm struggling
Saints doing great right now, no doubt but fixtures been great for them so far.
Costa is a better/proven striker and plays for much better team and will end up with more if he can stay fitYeah that's the thing, will he stay fit? I had enough of that with Aguero in previous seasons. The other issue is Chelsea are so far ahead now they don't actually need to attack. Could be the time to move on to the hungry teams.
Good point re Soton's fixtures, I've not overlooked that. My knee is getting twitchy but the bean is still in controlThe issue isn't so much Costa vs Pelle as Costa & Chester vs Pelle & Baines/Coleman
And the answer is Pelle & Baines 😉
Anyone else hopping on board the Siggy > Barkley bandwagon from GW 10? At least for Swansea's tough 3 GWs.
I've always thought Barkley was a bit overrated. I think I'll pass for now.
Agree with this. His end product isn't really there yet imo.
He's 20
No doubt he will get better as he matures. In FPL we deal with the 'now' however.
I understand that Ryan and based on his fantasy history he could prove to be immense at his price(starting NOW)
He doesn't have much of a history to go on tbf.
True but as a young player he as least showed he can score and also assist. Should show improvement this year and if it looks like he is then he's a really solid fantasy mid imo
Thats it though, he is all potential for the moment. In FPL we need a little more certainty than that.
that's crap man he had a great first half of last season and was cobbled by injury in the second half. He's a good prospect and you could stop with the "FPL" pontificating
I'm willing to be proven wrong. We'll see how he gets on this time.
Yeah, just thought he's an okay punt for that price bracket, not gonna be expecting a goal a game for 6.7m. I just personally feel Downing and Chadli won't get me anywhere (feels so much like Adam Johnson last season).
Check his last 1/2 the season & then his 6.7mil price tag looks just that bit more tempting.
*Correction 1st half the year
His stats were rubbish in the second half of last season
16 appearances
6 SoT
7 Created chancesAnd I think the 2nd half season trumps the first half season
It's before he got injured & managed to be in the Top 3 most attacking (attempts) for mids last year.
With a role behind Lukaku I think 6.7 is an *OK* thing to pay with Everton's run up to Xmas.I think teams figured him out in the second half the season. A mid season injury shouldn't have such a significant threat on his second half of the season.
Just bookmarked the man so maybe
Don't think for yourself.
Wait for Barkley to go off, then complain / lie that you *meant* to do it weeks ago.
I will not consider Barkley until Everton are finished with EL. Martinez's rotation of his attacking players is extremely unpredictable.
Hmm I'm starting to reach so I ask for the peoples help. Anything better than PvA --> Alcaraz with this lot? I have 2FT and 0 ITB
Krul, Foster
PvA, Moore, Clyne, Naylor, Hutton
Sterling, Siggy, Fab, ADM, Boyd
Aguero, Costa, Pelle
Nosebleed, I'm up to 550th. 14th in Scotland. Aberdeen will be knocking on my door soon.
13th in NZ 🙂
19th= in NZ with Ryan here.
You seem to be killing all the fantasy games this season GK, awesome stuff 🙂I'm 20th in NZ at the moment. Going to be a good tussle.
Yeah we're on the same amount of points.
Cheers Inns! Yeah having a great run atm. Lets cram that top 10 lads!
LOL 😀 well done mate
Baines: will he double rise?
No worries, get Coleman instead
Good goal and assist potential but not on pens and frees like Leighton.
Will Bertrand rise tonight?
seems so
Lord help me.... Just dropped Sterling & Ulloa for Diame & Pelle....all to set up a swoop for Baines & Aguero. Fingers crossed !
can only let Pelle price rise , have to hold myself before Wed !
Peyton Manning making history.
And winning me my last leg of a juicy treble 🙂
😉
Risers: Jagielka, Bertrand, Pelle
Fallers: Bent, Chamakh, Colback, Lennon, Grealish, Vaz Te, Snodgrass, Zaha, Lovren, Bony, Bentaleb, Ulloa, Binnom-Williams, BlindCheers mate
Pleasure 🙂
GW13 Pelle to Benteke can't wait 🙂 Will be a straight swap at this rate keep on rising Graziano friend!
Yessss got Jagielka in just in time
Damnit!
I knew I should have transferred VazTe to Aguero now I can't afford it...
U got VazTE??? And u still have him but still his price dropped!! 😮
Jokes, jokes, jokes. Not to worry, owned Aguero for a few weeks now.
Binnom-Williams dropped 🙁
If he walked into my room right now, I wouldn't know who he was...
