While Gameweek 15 is shaping up to be one to forget for many Fantasy managers, our analysis of the weekend’s statistics for members offers some insight to distract us, notably the growing influence of Yannick Bolasie and West Ham’s efforts to maximise the formidable weapon that is Andy Carroll.
best 'keeper to go for after Fabianski is out? (other GK is Krul)
'art
no money concern > Courtois
otherwise Guzan good fixthanks guys
I was thinking Adrian...
Pants. Rotates all season with Krul, best PPG and add his points to Mannone's and he's top of the pile
From a 90 pointer mid week to a 21 pointer this weekend. What a joke..!
FABIANSKI / ELLIOT
CHAMBERS / Baines / Azpila / N.Taylor / Wisdom
Sigurdson / Downing / Oscar / Sanchez / Boyd
AGUERO / Costa / Kane 2 Free TF's & 1.0 ITB
Thinking:
Aguero > Rooney
Oscar > Hazard or Downing > Ericson
Possible keeper change for a -4
What else can i even do....??
Rough with the smooth dear. Get a keeper, bin Aguero. Sorted.
Why do I keep benching Hutton? 🙁
'Cos Villa are crap? 🙂
But defensively they aren't.
He didn't get any defensive points today though
Are they though? Their problem was scoring but now they have Benteke back.
you made the right decision, until he scored 😉
got him on my wildcard three weeks ago and never looked back.
I've had him since GW1 and I think Ive managed to successfully bench him for every clean sheet 😆
Guys I have no manchester cover. Should i be worried? ( 0.0 itb)
Pantilimon Elliot
Azpi Baines Hutton (Wisdom Yun)
Hazard Sanchez Eriksen Downing Siggy
Costa Bony Austin
(No benching problem since Siggy Austin rotates perfectly till jan. Plus 1 bigger will be likely rested)i'd sit at least you have no LIV back line.
Aguero to:
Benteke or Rooney?
Rooney
Hey guys I'm gutted I'm 0.1m short getting Hutton Yaya & Bony 4pt hit for Chambers Obertan & Kun.
Team is
Pantillimon Gilks
Yun Dummett Baines Moore Chambers
Ramsey Walters Mata Fab Obertan
Costa Kun Welbeck.
It's very easy. Get someone cheaper than Hutton.
I would sell Mata.
I prob will when ADM is back! Cheers for the feedback
Wisdom is a good alternative
FPL statistics have Aguero to drop tomorrow. New to their site. Are they usually accurate?
they are fairly accurate as FFFix have him for tomorrow as well
Not 100% but usually accurate I'd say -- atm I see aguero at a -2.7 Tar, so it doesn't look like he'll drop soon, unless they're way off / something dramatic changes in the next 4ish hours
If you got him at 12.4 like I did then the next drop doesn't matter 😀
Happy to see Hutton, Siggy and Hazard as the top 3!
Just done Kun -> Tekkers. Costa, Hazard or Tekkers captain this week?
Don't understand why people are talking people away from Costa as Kun replacement
True he hasn't been scoring lately, but Chelsea have been in a bad period as a team. If he'd been the striker against Spurs he would've gotten the same returns as Drogba got.
Soon Chelsea will go back to their winning ways, and Costa will be the the main goalscorer, no doubt. He's a phenomenal player, and he'll come back guys, trust me!Agree. I am doing Kun -> Costa.
I'm just exploring options, which is never a bad thing. In the end I'll probably end up getting Costa, but I'll probably drop him in 2-3GW's when rotation becomes a factor
But with him being the only premium striker left (i don't consider Rooney/RVP/Falcao being this atm), there are 2 other spots for exploring cheaper options. Isn't that enough?
I don't care about "cheap" spots. I pick the player I think will score most, and secondarily who is best value for my overall squad. As it happens money isn't a concern if I downgrade Aguero, but still Costa isn't a no-brainer. Those who didn't own costa in the last 2 GW's made nice strides up the rankings after all so it goes both ways with ownership...
Costa is one yellow away from a suspension. Hazard better choice
No he's not, he was already suspended.
Costa is one red away from a suspension. Hazard better choice
-8 to do:
A) Fab, Marney, Aguero >>> Yaya, Fer, Rooney/Lukaku
B) Fab, Marney, Aguero >>> Yaya, Boyd, CostaBenteke another option for the top one
List your dream XI atm FPL-wise (With budget of 100 +-)
Mine:
Guzan (Alnwick)
Zab, Baines, Ivano (Yun, Hutton)
Sanchez, Siggy, Hazard, Yaya (Isgrove)
Costa, Bony, Roonpig
Can you do better?Put in Creswell
You're on WC, right?...
Oh, yes. 😉
Yaya> Eriksen?
actually I looked at this too long i'd run with that for sure.
Monk to appeal red card
I have a question, and please only answer of you actually know the answer
Q Does the fact Sakho handballed actually make any difference to the appeal, or would it be judged solely on whether it was a clear goalscoring opportunityThe latter.
Common sense - The latter.
I don't understand the following:
He got his opportunity to score. But he didn't.
Would Fabs have been off IF it had gone in?No.
You are asking the wrong people if you want fact rather than opinion
you might be right there
Monk was talking like it did make a difference.
My opinion is it wouldnt make a difference, but like rover says its only an opinionFor what it's worth, I don't think the handball will come into it
I don't think anyone on here can honestly say they know the answer to that for sure.
Mike Riley hasn't even decided yet!There is that ... 😆
He didn't deny a goal scoring opportunity though did he? Sakho had it but missed! Probably won't matter but it should
Couple of questions for you all.
1. Is there any chance Fabianski's red will be rescinded? Looks a clear cut red but for the handball by Sakho to knock it past him?
2. If he is out next GW, is it worth a hit to replace him or would I be better off playing without a keeper?I'm gonna get Hart instead regardless. Better fixtures, and I can afford it with money and FT
I would probably get Hart if I did make the move.
Fabianski's fixtures until the Jan WC seemed so much better 2 weeks ago when I bought him!
Benteke's next two fixtures: wba MUN
Performance against those two teams last season:
WBA: 1g + 2a (4-3 win)
wba: blank (2-2 draw)
MUN: blank (lose 0-3)
mun: blank (lose 1-4)
That midlands derby looks pretty enticing as a short-term punt...
OR = GW1 rank 🙂
Mine is going to be very much the same. Depends a bit on tomorrow as I have no players left, I've had to guess. But it will be close. 🙂
If you're chasing in your ML, next week the perfect week to captain baines. Then again, you probably aren't winning your ML because you've captained baines and it's failed before 😉
All of which makes your comment redundant! 😀
Pointlessly intentional. If I was chasing I would do it. Austin out is big
There was a time when Everton were tight at the back and captaining Baines wasn't as risky.
But now he's lost many set pieces as well as the leaky goal, the never captain is certainly something to heed.Yeah I've been moaning on here about Mirallas and Barkley. Evertons indifferent form has coincided with baines drop in form
WIsh I benched him this week though
For those who have numerous injuries, red cards and non playing bench squad members.
What are you going for to put it right;
In short to put 11 out;
1) hits?
2) wildcard?
3) ignoring it and playing short for the GW?1
2FT's 😎
Riding out the Austin red, and don't care about Elliot. Fab and Aguero are going out though-8 hit to get 11 starting players
1
Only Austin, Aguero and Chambers for me but two freebies. Bench Austin, sorted 🙂
Do you think Chambers is close to being benched WR?
Personally I've had a rotter:
Fabianski (Suspended)
Chambers (Suspended)
Fábregas (Suspended)
Austin (Suspended)
Steven Taylor (Suspended)
Agüero (Doubtful)
I'm thinking take a -4 atm Aguero to Rooney (top of list atm) and Chambers to Baines. I can't decide whether its worth bringing Alnwick in for Hamer (non playing 4.0 keeper)
What are you thinking bud?I'm actually fine, no reds here and only Aguero to dump. This for a full squad all bar the second keeper.
Wc
Seems like a -4 is well in order then.
I don't need to do it, it would be to strengthen my team, which in truth it badly needs.-4 for me. May ditch chmabers too for a -8 but can play without him if needs be
Need some advice as to whether WC?
Bego/Gilks
Clyne, Moore, Dummett, Azpi, Naylor
Hazard, Oscar, Barkley, Downing, Moses
Aguero, Bony, Lambert
WC would be..
Pantimillon, 4.0
Yun, Hutton, Dummett, Azpi, Naylor
Hazard, Yaya, Sanchez, Downing, Mirallas
Costa, Bony, Sakho/Kane
for me, if you still got your wc, now is the perfect time to use it!
Who are people bringing in?
Already have Austin and Costa
A) Tekkers
B) Rooney
C) Bony
D) Lukaku
I like A but I'm not decided yet
If I do Aguero + Krul TO Lukaku + Hart for -4 pts hit, I will have this team
Hart (Elliot)
Clyne - Hutton - Wisdom - Yun (Chambers)
Hazard - Sanchez - Siggy - Boyd (Fabregas)
Costa - Lukaku (Austin)
It leave me 2.6 in the bank to do Boyd to Downing next week.
How that sounds to you? Do you suggest to do Boyd to Downing move this week for -4 pts more or wait?
Thanks for answers
A lot of choices for the Aguero replacement -
Dzeko
Bony
Rooney
Lukaku
Carroll
Sakho
Who are you guys opting for?among those, I am considering either Bony or Sakho
Sakho,
Have Bony and Costa.
Look @ Sakho's PPGtrue. Their fixtures aren't great though.
Am I the only one considering Wayne? IF he scores tomorrow, he is my replacement for kun
Probably Costa.
Why is nobody getting Dzeko. Isnt that the easiest option?
for some reason, he is not an exciting FPL player for me
Not sure of his fitness or gametime or form
Oh and Pozo was prefered as Agueros replacement
Hmm interesting. Is Dzeko coming back from injury or something? I cant remember why, but why has he not featured recently?
Injured yeah, obviously not fit enough for a whole game and is likely to play midweek
Oh yes, I'll just wait until that games done I guess. Thanks mate
it was because dzeko couldn't play 60-70 mins. Pelle confirmed this.
Only as Dzeko wasn't fit enough for 80 mins.
Though that is a concern in itself.That clears that. Cheers lads, I'm getting him in tonight.
Hey guys, I'm on quite a good run lately. Need to keep it going but lots of uncertainties for the next GW. Any suggestions?
Krul Foster
Baines Bertrand Chambers Naylor Hutton
Sanchez Fabregas Siggy Downing Boyd
Aguero Costa Austin
2 FT
0.2 ITB
Thinking of Kun to Rooney and Fab to Yaya
I also feel like I have to get rid of Chambers but don't know for whom
Cheers 🙂
Is it worth it to get a hit for A gk?
Currently have krulliot,
A. Elliot/krul > pantillimon (-4)
B. Keep with 0 pt frm gk and do the transfer next week
Panicked that Aguero might price drop and now I own RVP, should have thought this through.
it might work magic, or he might get injured tomorrow the way this week is going
Thinking's overrated. I think.
Cogito, ergo sum. 😉 😛
😀
Struggling to field a team for next week -
I've got Chambers, Cesc & Austin suspended. Not sure I want to get either of them transferred. Anyone else in the same predicament?fielding 11 is always a priority for me, someone has to make way, among those 3, Chambers for me
cesc to yaya looks a good move til the january wildcard
Baines is next on my list to sell.
Got 3.9m Itb, can I swap him for YYT?
Def for a mid??
Crazy to sell Baines with his upcoming fixtures
Thoughts on
Krul and aguero > courtois and Rooney
2FTtoo much money spent on a GK for me
Chelsea defence surely worth investment?
If I didn't have 3 Chelsea I'd consider - can always relocate funds with the Jan wildcard - don't think he's a bad option at all
so i want to get hart in for fabianski but cant afford it if fabregas drops tonight?
do the aguero to costa, fab to yaya tonight?Why not 🙂
Wait for more news IMO
as yaya & coista doesnt play midweek it is purely whether aguero plays or not that is holding me back. worth waiting to find out more?
Aguero won't play, I'll put money on it if anyone would give evens.
Yaya not playing against must win Roma during the week?
Yes for me
Why wait if it's that tight financially? I'd do it if you're bang on the money.
thanks. its highly likely that aguero is out right?
What changes would you make to this defence if on a WC?
Azpi Baines Duff Hutton Yun
I'm actually struggling to find a change to make to it?get rid of baines and double up with ivan
Is duff back playing again?
No but he will be soon
Get rid of duff.
