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.
Hey guys, missed the Villa match.. how did Benteke play?
Brilliant
Decent. Nothing special. Should´ve scored.
Two big misses
Kun - 1 Month at least:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-city-without-sergio-aguero-4765919
Just like how Costa was out for 6 weeks?
I hope its exactly like that..
Does any read more reputable sources than the Mirror and Mail? Guardian are estimating 7 weeks
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/dec/07/sergio-aguero-manchester-city-ligament-injury-roma-champions-league
The rags are usually better sources of info for fitba in my experience.
guardian is also trash for football news
uhh, well, no. I live in the US and didn't know any better.
Happy to start though.
Aguero to Rooney now?
I'm holding off till Rooney plays, since I wont lose value the next time Aguero drops.
Why would Dzeko be a rotation risk? He was unfit hence Pozo coming on. Plus Jovetic is a forward whereas Dzeko is a striker
What if Pellegrini shares the 90mins between Dzeko and Jovetic each game?
With those fixtures I don't mind Dzeko even playing 70 mins plus his role is different to Jovetic. And they have Leicester next 😉
He isn't. Both will play or just Dzeko imo
Will you buy him?
No, probably Yaya for a 3-5-2
I just can't drop Fab otherwise I'd get Yaya
Both of those sound like reasons why he is a rotation risk. Dzeko is unfit and Jovetic is a forward 😆
Dzeko has been dropped for Jovetic earlier in the season so there is a risk with Dzeko.
With City midfield they need someone to finish which Dzeko can do best
Dzeko will be the main striker, 60 minutes plus until fully fit, Jovetic will start alongside or come off the bench depending on fixtures.
Pozo came on because there was no way Dzeko was fit enough, 20 -30 minutes max.
Dzekos the man although Jovetic has looked dangerous but Edin will be the focus, Pelly doesn't really have a choice imo.Thanks. I was getting put off for a moment. Are you biting him?
He's on my shortlist but competition is stiff with Bony, Benteke & Roon. Dzeko's fixtures may swing it but will wait till after midweek game.
I dont know much about midweek games, but Jovetic wont be able to make it to the midweek game, which automatically suggests that Dzeko will be rested for Jovetic next weekend?
If Dzeko wasnt fit enough today, no way is he going to play 180 mins over 3 days.
city need to win, none of the rotation messing about. Dzeko and jovetic will probably both start
Bemba has spoken
I am very tempted to get both Dzeko AND Jovetic for the craic the fixtures look as gary neville would say un-bullll-leave-able
Hutton! Get in lad, what a finish.
Thinking Bony in for Aguero, even though I have Siggy?
Haha, took his sweet time before he finished though! Maybe nerves from not having scored in 4 bloody years before today
Haha is that right? Crazy
Have both and I love it. Feel like a Swansea fan.
Although they always seem to score less than they should.
Kun + hazard -> costa + yaya
OR
Kun + berahino -> rooney + bony?
Second one defo. Haz at home to Hull and Yaya on 4 yellows
Cheers, wanted some man city coverage but think you're right, gonna wait and make sure rooney doesn't do anything out of sorts tomorrow
Bottom of the last page.
Fellaini has not travelled and trained with the first team this week he is set to miss out against Southampton according to latest rumours
Care to give your verdict on which of these options is the best?
A) Rooney + Downing
B) Sakho + Yaya
Until January wildcardLike them both but B probably
I'd give A a better look tomorrow IMO
See how Rooney's playing
Current front 8:
Hazard Downing Sanchez Boyd Siggy
Berahino Costa Aguero
Ideas anyone?Apart from Aguero out 🙂
Aguero and Berahino out. You;'ll have to maike up your own mind on the wealth of strikers left.
Thanks. Really want to get Yaya as well for Boyd or Siggy. Just got to work out how to fit it all in!
Duff to Hutton has turned out to be the 2nd best transfer I've made this season imo 😀
This 🙂
Getting Guzan over Fabianski was one of my better moves alright. Benching Hutton every week though 🙁
So is kun, Austin, & Chambers falling tonight?
No change for this evening.
Would you do this for -12?
Fabianski > Foster
Chambers > Azpilicueta
Fabragas > Yaya Toure
Aguero > Rooney
Have the EXACT funds to do it, and would leave me with:
Foster
Hutton - Baines - Azpilicueta
Siggy - Hazard - Yaya - Sanchez
Kane - Costa - Rooney
______________________________
Hamer: Yun, Albrighton, Moore
OR just do the Chambers and Fabragas moves?
Help/comments much appreciated.If you feel good do it. You will kick yourself if price changes go against you.
Cool, in what sense do you mean though by layers prices going against me? As in if who i'm buying drops in value?
players*
If you have been presiding over it for hours and you like the look and balance do it. If you leave it and a price change up for the ones you want to buy or down for the ones you are selling you will feel bad when you miss out. Then the team you wanted romps in next week. If you have doubts then select the ones you need and not the ones you want.
cool that makes more sense, cheers, i should just get the players i NEED as opposed to want, good advice.
Just the cesc and callum moves for me and save no the extra hits.
but Aguero will be out for a month at least?
We don't know that for sure yet... Seen braveheart? HOOOOLLD (at lease until we know the full prognosis) 😈
Haha! yeah, i guess that makes sense to hold on for now then.
You could/should get pantilimon over foster so you can take a drop.
Get Pants instead of Foster. Check his PPG and add his points to Mannone's
Hutton got me in to the top 100k for the first time this season 😀
Reckon I will stay there after tomorrow in 80.6k with 0 players left?
Should do
Nice, that's good enough for me.
Iffy. I doubt that's many points ahead and you have highly owned Soton and Man Utd players to come as well as autosubs.
Hmm, I will have to pray for 1-1 with Fellaini scoring at both ends.
Anyone else looking at the possibility of getting dzeko AND jovetic ? solves rotation issues!
:sceptic:
Hmmm. Tempting with the fixtures but dangerous.
Cue Pozo start
Make sure to get Pozo as your 3rd striker.
🙂
no chance. takes up a valuable striker spot
😯
Daft
Chambers to:
A)Hutton (4YC)
B)Naylor
C)Bartleyb - bartley will lose his place shortly
D) Vergini
Vergini is a beaut.
Six successive red arrows since GW 10! Not a happy lad 🙁
Any help? Team is:
Guzan
Azpi Naylor Clyne
Sanchez Siggy Herrera Fab
Sakho Aguero Rooney
Looking to do Aguero + Fab ➡ YaYa + Costa
Thoughts?yes
Anyone else scared of having their forwards playing at St. James Park now?
I'm also scared of spidersNewcastle are an odd team in that they look like conceding every 5 minutes but somehow hang on.
Yeah, their defense has been wickedly solid somehow.
How'd you fare this week Badger?Had an absolute shocker mate. Everything that could go wrong did lol How about yourself?
I can confirm this
Newcastle are Chelsea's bogie team ... i wouldn't be surprised to see Sunderland whiz past them in a few weeks' time
Would really appreciate some advice guys, thanks. 🙂
Forster
Baines, Naylor, Yun, Dawson*, Moore*
Haz, Sanchez, Siggy, Boyd, Cesc*
Rooney, Kane, Aguero*
2 FTs, 0.2 itb
A: Boyd + Aguero > Yaya + Sakho
B: Boyd + Aguero > Downing + Benteke
C: Cesc + Aguero > Yaya + Costa
D: Dawson + Aguero > Terry + BentekeC by miles for me.
second that.
You reckon Costa is worth the cash and Cesc needs to be removed?
A few thoughts:
Direct answers to your question - - Yes and No
I'm in a different situation than you - working to field a full team so Kun / Cesc -> Costa and Haz is what I've done, primarily so I can field a team and partially a valuation move. I worry about Yaya heading off to Africa in a few weeks and would have kept Cesc if not for the other team issues.
Lastly, I just peeked at your rank and I have no business giving you advice!!Only got the rank because of lovely people giving me advice on here so very much appreciated. C seems the obvious move and that's usually the best option in FPL, just trying to think outside the box.
C or D if you want to keep Cesc
Interesting, quite a lot of Cs then. I was actually leaning towards A but may have to think again!
A's not a bad shout either to be fair. But given all the injuries/suspensions I think it's probably wise to get rid of one of them over Boyd
My logic behind A is that I'd have a good front 8 for Xmas when rotation will hit hard so a benching dilemma is actually good to have. Plus the fact that I like Cesc's consistency and not sure Costa is worth the cash considering I wouldn't captain him in any of the next 5 I don't think (maybe this week)
yeah it'd be nice for the rotation alright.
Cheers for the responses mate. C seems like the obvious move which is usually the best for FPL so will probably end up with that!
Good luck mate
C
Thanks bubz
If you can field 11, I'd keep Cesc w/o a doubt.
I like D personally, in times where a good bench saves GW's, I feel Yaya is a transfer waiting to happenGot to be C
Cheers all, quite overwhelming!
C
No drops tonight?
Think someone mentioned fabregas and maybe chambers?
Cesc will drop.
That's alright, he'll be back in a fortnight, I'm not shipping him out. Just trying to delay having to deal with Aguero.
Cheers all!
Will Sakho even start the next match? Just noticed he just got 45, after being out three or four
grav: mulholland drive?
Correct!
Anyone changing price tonight ????
The people at FPL towers.
Badam tishhhh
I'm here all week.
fabregas and siggy
Like the most of us, it looks like ill be transferring out Aguero.
but who for?
Current attacking 8 is:
Sanchez fabregas siggy downing boyd
aguero bony rooney
Was thinkig benteke but after today , carroll is now a shout? Any advice guys?Costa probably
Apart from Hull home I cant see him okaying consistently so am leaving him out til Jan WC
Lukaku
Siggy or Downing ?
Tough one. Siggy has an ok home game but Caroll is back now for Downing.
Downing has a lot of decent players to put his passes/crosses into the net.
Siggy if you got him at 6.0
this.
Downing
Fab -->
A) Hazard
B) Tourea
Hazard.
Currently ranked 8.2k with no players remaining. Any chance I'll stay in the top 10k?
Yep, I cant see any big autosubs coming. And very few have ManUtd/Southampton players.
No
🙁
Who is the tastiest ManCity defender?
Clichy for me
Zabaleta
Or you might have meant FPL wise?
Unfortunately yes I did
Zaba
I was sold on Zaba until someone mentioned the possibility of rotation with Sagna
That is a very good point, rotation on the basis of rest is definitely there.
Based on form, surely no?
In any case, perhaps going w/o City defender for now is the safer route.
Safe looks like the key word in DecemberYep purely for resting reasons. Sagna seems to have featured once every five games or so in place of Zabaleta. Cant remember if it was injuries or what, but I dont like the sight of that.
Komoany for teams heart safety.
Ask Suarez
All rotation risk
Joe Hart.
Kolarov as always
😆
Ask Suarez...
worth a -4 to upgrade oscar to Hazard this week?
If you don't have any injury concerns, a good bench, suspended players, then maybe
Risky though, I wouldn't do it IMO, surely you have other concerns, no?my first two (2ft) would be fabianksi to Heart and aguero to someone not broken
If I sell Aguero on Wildcard and then by a miracle he is declared fit can I get him back in for the sell price? or will I have to pay the extra?
You'll have to pay up
Have to pay extra but no chance he'll be fit.
Do not sell, you'll still get hit by the 50% sell on fee.
cheers want to do fab to yaya but need to ship Kun to do this.
It is better to take hit at this point of the season or after January?
Haven't a clue
Take it when necessary, thats how simple it is.
I'm quite satisfied with my rank 3k with a total of -12Hits aren't so black & white IMO
Need a southampton cs and rooney blank otherwise i fall out of top 1k !
Rooney hattrick then
