A number of midfielders are amongst this evening’s members piece, as we take a look the in-form options at Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham and Tottenham. We also cast an eye over Diego Costa’s recent form, assess Sergio Aguero’s displays compared to recent campaigns and take time to assess QPR’s in-form frontman after another impressive showing in yesterday’s narrow defeat at the Bridge.
Having stated on here numerous times that I'm not interested in rises/falls I know find myself in the strange position of doing that, and all because of Sterling.
I have well and truly had my pants pulled down over this one. If I were to sell him now(which is what I wanted to do) I would be taking a 0.3 hit which I can't afford, all because of the fact he's plummeted.
So I'm left
So ... you are going to chuck good money after bad? Make a decision.
Unlucky.
Liverpool look shite cut your loses and move on better value to be had and allows upgrades elsewhere
He remains a decent option, keep him.
Sunk costs.
Don't think about what could have been. Look at your current situation as a pure, isolated entity and react accordingly.
😯 Hmm that sounded posh, hopefully made sense.
Will Di Maria's price fall? Want to get him, better to wait till Saturday?
Why on earth would you want to get him?
Cos he is a gun
Why not? I am thinking of getting him too, for Haz
Because he will score decent pts in upcoming weeks... LvG will probably switch to diamond again increasing his output 🙂
great player , great fixtures (3 of the next 4 games are just mouth watering)
It could. 1000 out today.
yep better to wait till then..if it falls its good for you
Cheers TM and moin 🙂
Im thinking the same move and also need a drop. He could easily have had goal and assist yesterday
Who are you selling / have sold to get alexis in?
Or at this stage you will be going without.Sold Siggy last week.
The ship has sailed. Alexis will blank over the next 3 matches.
Will is are you just giving bad advice for fun
Says the person who advised people to sell Aguero for Costa last week 🙄
Hook, line and sinker
Did he really? The dirty rotten swine! 😀
Check page 3 of his comments history. 5 times FFS 😆
Just now you said you wouldn't want ADM. Now Sanchez.
😆
At the end of the previous game week, Sterling to Sánchez, etc.
Sold Sterling two weeks back for Alexis 😎
@innsie was that directed at me or willis as I definitely didn't advise that move
Not you mate.
Eriksen 🙁
I would say that this season there is not really such thing as a 'season keeper'.
--- A few weeks ago ADM, Sig, Costa, Sterling, Ramsey (remember him?) etc were labelled as season keepers.
--- Now all of a sudden it is time for Baines, Chambers, Sanchez, Aguero, Downing to take the label.
Let's face it, we will all sell most of our players at some point in the season! It is strange how we can become fixated on the events of 2-3 weeks and be so sure that they can be extrapolated to reflect the remainder of the season.Speak for yourself. I've still got 7 players I started the season with 😉
Same here actually still own 7 off my originals
Begovic
Chambers
Dummett
Naylor
Had all of them since day one. Am still keeping ...Tick tock tick tock 😀
To be fair though, cheapies are probably an exception to the rule.
Not so sure about begovic mind 😉I still have foster, clyne.................... Oh that's it!
Agreed. Costa is the only player I still have from my week 1 team
Clyne for me 😉
I always laugh at the thought of season keepers. Keeping ur players through their bad patches? Not for me
So i'm left with two choices lose my money or hold onto a player that is out of form and expensive, hoping when he does hit form again I can make my money back.
Have any idiot's out there like me , been bent over and screwed by the Sterling situation?Get rid and re assss once Sturridge is back and they gain some confidence
sell sell sell..too many good option now, u can always bring sterling back without losing anymore value and picking up more points from others
Foster (Mannone)
Cresswell Gibbs Alderweirld (Wisdom,Naylor)
ADM Eriksen Siggy Sterling Downing
Costa Aguero Berahino
Thoughts on Sterling > Oscar?is any of the below worth -4:
1 - siggy to chadli
2 - fab to sanchez (have hazard and welbeck)
3 - fab to ADM for the great fixturesBoth 2 and 3 are worth it, imo.
and if you had to choose?
Sorry about delay - order.
I prefer Sánchez. Bad luck with Downing. My issue was that Sigurdsson's stats were awful - I nearly sold him. They have improved a bit, now, though ...
btw doos - last friday i asked many poeple who to play siggy or downing - the vast majority said siggy and i feared his high ownership so i left downing on the bench... i remember you were absolutely certain about dowbning - had i listened to you i would have a good gw rather than average...
I'd suggest getting boyd as fifth mid. Play downing every week and use the cash elsewhere.
not a bad idea...
Hazard to ADM is worth it. Keep Fab unless there is not much money tied up
i have a feeling hazard is on track to be hazard again.
fab is ticking nicely but never captain material - he gets you 6,7,8 points which is great week in week out - but haz can go 2,15,3,12 etc.
Would do 2.
If you have Costa already would you get Hazard, Fabregas or ADM?
Di Maria, perhaps ...
adm
ADM (And I'm not being biased - I actually own haz and not ADM)
out of madness & impatience, i just did a -8:
jags - wisdom
siggy - downing
ramsey - sanchez
now having:
krulliot
wisdom chambers berty (duff/ wilson)
sanchez fab adm downing (boyd)
costa pelle(c) kun
0.1 itb
now regretting the move...should hold onto it..arghhhSolid trades but -8 hurts
Worth it. Will pay off long term no problem. All the very top players take big hits now and then. That's a key component to this game - Knowing when it is necessary
thanks man..hopefully it pays off this week (well at least covering the hits taken)
nice score btw without even captaining sanchez..kudos to u!Thanks. Been trying not to gloat about it because I can't stand the gloaters haha.
Does someone actually have all of
Baines, Clyne/Bertrand,
Sanchez, ADM, Fab/Haz
Aguero, Costa
I'm missing ADM and looks very difficult to get him in for gw13 =>
Suffering bit because not so great team value.I don't have baines
All of those except Baines. Could get him in but wouldn't want to be dirt cheap in the rest of the squad.
Missing ADM myself 😐
all except baines
Missing ADM here. You can't have everyone.
So far looks like I'm not alone then 😉
I can live next two without ADM, luckyly his price might even go down again this week.
Then gw13 it's time to decide if someone else needs to be sacrificed...when Fab eventually gets his ban, I know I will be tempted for swap to ADM - just hoping I will stay strong and keep Fab!
Missing Sanchez and ADM. Planning on getting one in by next week though
Just missing Costa, but think he's the one you can go without for now...
Why do people still take what Willis posts seriously?
I don't. I just find it funny 🙂
I find it funny reading all the serious replies to his trolling comments. Especially when they get into a one-on-one debate 😀
Btw, are we in the final of the hokey pokey?
Unless Zaha gets 30 goals.
Good. I should be up and running again next week.
Sorry about this week.The final's in GW12 so you can have this week to recover.
That's silly though...why no final this week?
3rd v 4th. Don't know why the final couldn't be on the same week tbh.
Bunch of amateurs.
🙄
The 3rd place game is this week
Yeah, that's stupid. Probably doesn't want us to steal their thunder.
😎
Suspense and theatrics
We've got a bye next week. Final is GW12 so just make sure you rest up over the international break 😉
Will do.
It's like Zaha and Mannone(or 8) vs 80 points or something, so yeah, we're through.
Because he is an Estuary.
If I was Mark i'd ban him. Giving bad advice because you're not very good at FF is one thing, but doing it on purpose under the guise of help?
There are many, many more I would ban before Willis.
Not sure you can ban someone for that. Pretty slippery slope to get on imo.A bell needs to be hung round his neck, though ...
Not an anchor...? How kind of you, Doos 😉
a) Sterling & Welbeck > ADM & Sakho (-4)
b) Sterling, Siggy & Welbeck > Sanchez, Downing & Sakho (-8)
Not worth it just to get Sanchez, right...?No. There must be another way.
DDG
Baines Bertrand Chambers
Hazard Fabs Sterling Siggy
Aguero Pelle Welbeck
4.0 Boyd Duff Moore
1 FT, 0.1 itbBertrand to Dummett
Sterling to Sánchez?Chris_W?
Sorry, was on the phone.
Hmm, not affordable...
Sterling to Sanchez leaves a gap of 2mI have just realised. Sorry.
No worries, thanks for your thoughts 🙂
that wont be near enough
Bugger. 🙁
I didn't realise he had fallen so much, blimey. 🙁
Not worth it
Ta
i did b with austin instead of sakho but for -4 as i had two fts.
Mm, bit easier on the eye then... Tough one this
i think its worth it tbh.
B is very worth it.
Interesting... Thanks, CP.
9 out of the 11 players in my starting eleven for next week are in dream team. Feels good to look at it
Ahh...one of the Argies....
😕Take good rest this week. We don't want any excuses later 😉
What's your squad mate must be good
Check out the dream team and my front 7 will be there
Unfortunately next week's scores aren't in the dream team yet 😉
Hehe..good point 🙂
Is Fellaini an option at all?
Yes. A poor one.
In the position he played yesterday I would disagree.
He is an option, whether a good one or not i'm not so sure.
What do you see as the best way to get ADM this week?
2FT and 5.0 ITB
Foster // Krul
Clyne // Chambers // Baines // Naylor // Vlaar
Sanchez // Siggy // Tadic // Chadli // Obertan
Costa // Aguero // Pelle
Siggy + Tadic > ADM + Cheapie is an option but Tadic (h) to Leicester and Siggy has good fixtures in 2 weeks.
Any other way you can see ADM fitting in?Nah, stick with what you've got imo. Can't have them all.
5.0 itb? 😯
Yes. I would do Chadli to di Maria. At the end of the week.
this
Chadli's spectacular conversion rate seems unsustainable...
25% isn't that high.
6 shots in the last 2 games, 3 goals (according to members area tables)
Sorry scratch that, my bad
He's only got one goal, the one yesterday
Yep, 1 goal and 1 assist in the last 4 matches. And I'm an owner! D'oh!
Keep the Chadli faith
i wouldnt get him tbh.
I just saw there is only 10 points difference between 14k and 24k. Pretty congested eh.
How about between 12k and 1k?
No idea. I just saw my rank and doosra's haha. I'm hot on his heels 😀
I am ahead of you? Blimey! 😀
Yeah check the GW history and you'll see you have been all season haha
Crikey. I must say, I am very pleased with my Season, thus far. 🙂
We've both had a similar 3 weeks. mine included a wildcard though so fair play to you.
I so, so, very nearly played mine, last week. Phew!
Wow, means I'm going to drop after auto subs kick in 😐
I don't think a huge % of people have any autosubs though. Not like costa the last 2 weeks.
12 points here 😎 😆
🙁
🙁
Would Sterling > Oscar be a good move if i don't have Fab or Hazard
Is that 2 price drops in 2 days for Sterling? 😯
Looks like bringing in Chambers is being used to facilitate.
If Sterling keeps dropping at the current rate he could be great value when Liverpool start playing like Liverpool again.
He won't drop as quickly now. There are different price-drop thresholds when players are above their original price, and highly owned players drop much quicker. Now he's back at 8.5 he'll need a lot more NTO per drop.
True. I just don't see who would make way thouugh
Alternatives to Sterling?
I've held onto him despite the price drop because I haven't seen a better alternative in the same price bracket. This week I'm going to get rid though - I'm thinking Oscar or maybe downgrade to Downing and move some cash around.Of those options, I'd choose downing. Either that or upgrade him by cutting costs somewhere else.
Guzan (Krul)
Bertrand Clyne Dummett (Wisdom Caulker)
Fab Siggy Sanchez Tadic (Routledge)
Costa Aguero Sakho
I assume save FT is the best option ? I would like to get rid of Siggy but have only 0.3 ITB so dont have many options here ...
thanks for the input
There nobody better you can get to replace Siggy with 0.3m ITB so save te FT
Unless you want to use the opportunity to sell Caulker.. But I guess that can wait if you can field 12 with decent fixtures
Morning folks. Anyone know why Eriksen was withdrawn! Should owners be worried?
Was considering downgrading Ramsey to Eriksen to allow Hazard > Sanchez, but now I'm seriously considering downgrading Costa instead. I get the feing he's on the down (in addition to or maybe as a result of his injury problems). That would allow a direct upgrade of Ramsey > Sanchez and leave cash spare to upgrade Chadli/Siggy > Wally
Could also do Siggy > Downing and lose hazard for Sanchez but I don't like that optionYes. The managers of Spurs and Liverpool are both barking mad. Howling at the moon.
Think it was tactical he was having a quiet game. Chadli looks best spurs option by a mile unless Kane gets a run
I have Chadli. His goal was very welcome yesterday.
How long can his rate of goals to shots last?
His rate of shots is pretty good though as far as I know. You could say the same for Costa, except his shots have dropped
😎
do we think sanchez will continue his scoring streak away to swansea and at home against United?current midfield is:
Di maria, Haz, Siggy & downing (boyd)thats the million dollar question.
Can't maintain 16 points a week but will probably be the best scoring mid of the season
I do. I am nearly certain.
Is Chadli to Mane worth using a FT?
No
god no. Chadli looked good and Mane will dangerous may not start
No keep chadli in form
Thanks for the advice guys 🙂
No. You are exchanging like for like.
Leicester at home is what tempted me. I'll keep and try to roll over my FT. Thanks Doosra 🙂
Good luck, Sunny. 🙂
Thanks and good luck to you as well 🙂
Boring trade option but Bruce to Yun makes sense if the rest of my team is ok ?
Yes imo
Why Yun?
3.9 and starts... Then again I'd prefer steven taylor (I have both!)
Cheap, Qpr have looked better defensively since he has started playing and he is better than Traore
What are the chances of Sakho being back for West Ham at the weekend?
Very high I think but ask Demi when he is around
Great, thanks.
Lads, which keeper would you bring in for Begovic till the Jan WC?
Foster or Heaton?Fabianski.
Good call
Guzan has got good fixtures but Villa can't defend. Foster maybe
Community article on goalkeepers may help
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/10/31/goalkeeper-rotation-review-gameweeks-1-9/Cheers everyone!
Looking for a 4.5 keeper to make funds for Sanchez actually. So Fabianski is a no go for me sadly.
Anyone thinking Kane at 4.8?
There is a fan and media bandwagon for him to start but premier league managers are stubborn beastsI'm surprised Poch hasn't started him earlier.
I do wonder if he has pressure from above, because at Saints he seemed exactly the type of manager to favour youthful promise over big reputations.Europa line up will be interesting but unless Kane not in it I don't think we'll be any the wiser
Yeah I think he is under more pressure at spurs and not handling it well/ players not responding to him as well.
If Sakho gets ruled out for longer, yes
Best mids for under 6.5 to facilitate ADM?
Chadli orDowning
Downing, Chadli, maybe Diamé as well
Thinking about WC...
My team:
Krul, Bego
Hutton, Moore, Ivan, Baines, Clyne
Sterling, Mane, Downing, Fabregas, Cattermole
Costa, Pelle, Welbeck
My WC team:
Krul, Jakupovic,
Hutton, Moore, Wisdom, Baines, Chambers
Sanchez, Mane, Downing, Fabregas, 4.4
Costa, Pelle, Aguero
Or should I just do:
Ivan -> Wisdom and Welbeck -> Aguero for -4 ?Just do the -4
Or just Sterling -> Sanchez for free?
Do it
