We turn our attentions to the weekend’s nine matches now and delve into the data in our first member’s article of the week. Chelsea, Man City and Tottenham’s goalscoring midfielders arrive on our radar, whilst Swansea’s in-form frontman and Andy Carroll’s impact on West Ham’s style of play are also amongst this evening’s topics.
Does everyone have 3 Southampton players left for tonight? Currently on a paltry 25 points from 8 with 3 points coming off the bench.. something like 2.9 millionth rank this week..
I have 2, and 34 points (including Naylor off the bench). Very low scoring GW towards the top, my rank for the week is around 2 million but I only dropped 52 places.
Yep I only dropped 3k!
Hopefully should climb back up a few spots too due to Southampton players (Clyne, Bertie and Tadic) but this has been a weeeeird gameweek with all of the top 10k failing pretty much 😛
good play. 33pts with 2 left..drop from 700+ to 1k..its quite tight at the top
Just Clyne here. Sold Pelle this week. 🙁
Probably better off in the long run, I personally think Pelle's points have come due to his team and him being a focal point, rather than his actual skill.
Perhaps. Seeing I only have 9 players this week, keeping Pelle would have saved me 4 points & made it 10.
Ah I see, bit of a decimation of our teams alright..
Clyne to be injured in the warm up so..? 😛
21+3+Clyne+Tadic+Hutton 🙁
GW rank 3.1m 😥
tough week
I've only got Guzan, no Southampton. Hoping for Villa to do me a favour later...
Hey, I have 19 with 1 coming off the bench. 3.2m rank before tonight
I am 3.2m, clyne, vlaar, Guzan + Boyd and chambers too come off the bench
19 pts
Bertrand Guzan Hutton (hopefully) Tadic and Pelle with Chambers 1pt off the bench. 10 players in total
33+12+clyne
Krul week
just 2 for me. Also sold Pelle, so Bertrand & Wanyama to go. And Hutton hopefully
33 points including my bench, with Forster, Bertrand, Hutton to come. Need some magic!
Cresswell Naylor or Clichy ?
Also , Dummett or Duff ? Or anyone else < 4.5 m
Dummett
Dummett
Naylor > Cresswell >>>> Clichy
I'd avoid Clichy, probably Naylor from the other 2.
2 FT
Defence is:
Clyne, Bertrand, N Taylor, Hutton, Moore.
A: Clyne & Bertrand > Baines & Yun.
B: Clyne & Bertrand > Azpi & £5.3.
C: Clyne > Azpi & save the other FT.
Thanks 😀1
Thanks!
I'd save an FT and see how they go on in their difficult fixtures
CThanks 😀

Cheers!

Thanks 🙂
What to do guys?
Krul Elliot
Clyne Chambers Baines Wisdom Taylor
Sanchez Barkley Siggy Hazard Boyd
Costa Aguero Sakho
1FT 0.7 ITB
Thinking clyne > azpi ?
But would have benching dilemma with chambers?Sorry, no replies on last page: Does this still look good for this week?
Tadic and Welbeck -> Downing and Costa (-4)
Any news on Downing?Nice move if Downing is back. Could easily be another week out.
Surely not??
Wait for the pressers. I wouldn't be confident with him.
If he's back then I'll be very interested.
No news that I know of, I would wait with the transfers until we get more news on Downing. If he is fit, I think its worth the hit.
My next moves after GW 14
I'd look at potential alternatives to Downing but if he's back next weekend it would be a good plan!
I can't really see any alternatives. I'd have 6.6 to spend.
The Ox?
Wouldn't want to double up on Arsenal midfield.
I'm keen on shipping Welbeck (now 1 goal in 7) but his fixtures are giving me pause and I have a history of being burned by players I let go (Costa, Chadli and Siggy this season).
I'd have to ditch him to get Costa though, and I know which I'd rather have!
Talk yesterday was Downing could be til New Year?
Really? Bugger, getting Costa in looks tricky now.
Best goalkeeper under 5.2 m ? Looking at the next 6-8 weeks
I´m looking at a goalkeeper to play until gw 23, Guzan is very tempting.
I'm uncertain about Villa with their important defenders out.
Been discussed my times.
In my view, Adrian then Fabianski considering the form, fixtures, stats.WHM have kept only 2 cleanies so far ?
Stats show they have been unlucky. Did not allow so many chances actually.
And if sakho, downing out for longer period they have to tighten up at the back.
I prefer Fabianski
How long is Rose out for?
Is Baines expected to be back for Spurs games?
I would think so. I hope so
Best 4.5 - 4.6m keeper? Thinking Guzan or Krul?
Most people have been saying Guzan recently. Watchlist agrees.
Okay thank you! Might be a blessing as I already have Dummett.
I'd go Guzan since his fixtures over the next 8 are amazing. (Krul owner btw)
Okay perfect. Thank you 🙂
Thoughts of this guys? I was planning to hold WC until DGW but:
LLORIS - Gilks
Bertrand - CLYNE - Wisdom - Hutton - Baines
Siggy - Sanchez - TADIC - Cesc - Boyd
Kun Costa AUSTIN
to:
KRUL - Gilks
Bertrand - Naylor - Wisdom - Hutton - Baines
Siggy - Sanchez - JEDINAK - Cesc - Boyd
Kun - Costa - Rooney
(-12) but would wildcard.
The Transfers are:
LLORIS > Krul
Tadic > Jedinak
Austin > Rooney
Good, Bad, Ugly?
Krul good
Jedinak bad
Rooney ugly
Have i understood the game?I would save the WC, you don't need to use a WC to get rid of Lloris, Clyne and Austin, you only need to ship Tadic, and even that should wait until after his game tonight realistically..
You can get away with just taking hits.OK ty
I'm reading reports that alexis' poor performance and lack of penetration against man united are down to being'physically spent'-after time with chilean girlfriend according to press there.
Is alexis a humpty dumpty rotation risk.....
I'm slightly regretting selling myself to get Sanchez. Should have stuck with Fabregas or got Hazard instead. Not going above 9m for midfielders this season had worked really well for me until I got him :/
Selling oneself is always a bit extreme-i'm told
Only if it is for a sexual purpose. We all sell ourselves (or our services) on a daily basis when we go to work, whatever that may be 😉
Capitalism
What a drag
Bringing out the old 4-3-3 this week.
Who would you rather have in your team if money was no object?
A) Gerrard - had loads of shots yesterday from open play and FK's, and could have had a pen
B) Oscar - slight rotation risk, no corners or pensB. Liverpool not spending enough time on top in games to give Gerrard a regular supply of penalties, currently.
Oscar-the potential to improve
Stevo-the potential to collapse
oscar everytimeOscar can also get worse you know, or rotated... 😉 And fwiw, Gerrard had more shots than anyone yesterday, with 5 total and 3 great chances from open play on the edge of the box.
Shamless repost here after lack of response.
What would you do with this team? 1 FT and 3.2 in bank.
Obvious transfer is Forster > Adrian (As a Naylor owner I don't like the Swansea double up by getting Fabianski)
Keeping Bertrand for one more gw at least as good options in Chambers Naylor Hutton in next gw.
And need to decide what to do with Pelle!
Forster (McCarthy)
Baines Bertrand Chambers Naylor Hutton
Sanchez Hazard Downing Siggy (Boyd)
Aguero Pelle AustinNice, very similar to mine in many ways, though I have Tadic as well and Oscar instead of Haz.
I'm not in a rush to sell my Saints, based on form of other players right now... Chadli injured, Sterling playing poorly, etc... With Downing injured maybe upgrading him wouldn't be a bad idea.
Pelle>Costa is probably the most obvious move though.Thanks rick, though with his lack of bps i don't actually feel threatened not having him.
I'd look for a way to do Pelle > Costa before making a keeper change. Wait for an update on Downing before making your move, though.
Thanks Ludo.
I'm hanging fire on my Southampton players. Form over fixtures.
And at the moment in time MCY away aint such a deterrent for Southamptons attacking players. Swansea managed to score, and they don't score many.
Clyne to the rescue today.
32 including bench points with pelle and clyne to go........hoping for a big Southampton win to save the gw!
I need Tadic to get at least 15 points for my GW to even look respectable
hes done it before.......doubt he'll ever do it again.......but never say never 🙂
I need a clyne cs and assist and pelle hatty. Easy
A West Ham defender for the next 5 games?
Is Collins above Tomkins in the pecking order?
Or spend the extra for the security of Jenkinson?
Anything about Chadli? Surely the MRI scan results are out by now.
All these people with more than 20 points complaining about a bad gameweek 🙄
Oops, was for Razor Ramone 😉
You have your guns tonight.
Cleanie and a Pelle brace would be lovely. Would make my moves next week with 2 FTs much harder to decide though!
I dont have that problem anymore as I have to worry about baines, chadli, downing and sakho first.....or i'll end up with 9 fit players again
You still have 4pts from the bench to come. Relax.
From three separate players 😎
Details, details....
wow that bad huh? didn't realize it was such a bloodbath
at least you didn't sell Pelle. It could certainly improve after tonight
All that and nobody mentions Chadli's injury. Lovely 🙂
Azpi it is then.
Straight swap for Clyne and keeps an FT in the bank.Reply fail to a reply on one of my earlier comments.
Bugger.Good move
Doing the same move myself!
Would you rather have Baines or Azpi next GW?
Have both.
But if I had neither I'd go for Azpi. Fixtures look decent and he's a fit as a butchers dog.
According to FPL statistics Austin is near a rise. Should I bring him in for Sakho and just be done with it?
I'd wait until the midweek games are over if the budget allows.
That is the responsible thing to do but I'm getting antsy lol
Anyonelse thinking about keeping Clyne over the festive period? For me it would take a 0.4 hit to sell him and there aren't really any tempting mid-priced defenders around. With a decent set of defenders surely he can just be rotated/benched for a few GWs? I already have a Chelsea defender.....
Yes-or Berty in my case. I can still see STH keeping cs and apart from CHS and CTY, the others will still have a hard time scoring against them.
Exactly the same as me, I will be keeping Bertie as well. I don't see any good replacements, don't want to lose any value and I see them keeping some clean sheets as well.
exactly, don't like to read into fixtures too much myself personally.
Who wins this GW?
a) Pelle + 2 points
b) Guzan + Clyne + Wanyama
B
B
I've got whatever the FPL equivalent of writers block is.
I just look at my team and have no idea what to do.Prioritise with the forwards, the mids, then defs, then gks.
Would Bego > Guzan, Bert > Azpi, Chadli > Siggy be worth -8?
Nah I'd pick 2
just the second 2 moves
I like the chosen players but would rather a gradual trade.
Okay thanks for your replies guys 🙂
Reepost
Begovic > Fabinaski
For - 4 pts
YES
NOno just wait a week
Hit for a keeper?!
Forster/Gilks
Clyne/Dummett/Wisdom/Duff/Yun
Sanchez/ADM/Fab/Siggy/Marney
Costa/Aguero/Pelle
2ft any thoughts on what to do would be much appreciated : )Any money left? Defence needs attention
massively but unfortunately no coin left could do pelle to kane and clyne to baines?
What do you guys think the chances are of hearing news on Downing and / or Chadli today. Austin possibly rising tonite and a 0.0 budget on my possible moves makes this news pretty important tbh. 😕
lots of talk of downing being out for an extended period.
source... he said he was ok only a couple of days ago...
Thats the thing their seems to be an awful lot of Chineese whispers about both Downing and Chadders and official news is very much needed. 🙁
I just had a look for some updates and the last news about Downing was two days ago.....there should be an update soon.
I hope so Baileg......thanx for your replies guys 😛
Yeah heard this also really need some official news otherwise moves as planned just can't happen.....Firkin total pain the bollocks 😈
Any rough idea on the Cup cut off points total?
The Cup qualifying is Gameweek 13 - so next weekend.
Nightmare 🙁
Cheers matebugger thought it was this week....
starting off at -4 already 🙁
shit I forgot about this.....
think it will be pretty low... late 20's / early 30's at the moment... depends what happens tonight🙂
🙁
Afraid i may not make past LMS this week
Hard to tell with no link. Good luck 🙂
Repost.
Krul
