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.
Are any of you guys going Ramsey or wait and see?
Sanchez is enough Arsenal cover for me
Cool. Do you think I should upgrade Mangala>Kompany or Cissokho>Kompany?
I wouldn't want Mangala AND Kompany in my team, just wait for pressers and see Kompany's status
Mangala>Yun or Mangala>Rojo?
I kind of like Yun. He won't hurt your team with fouls. Solid player, right?
im waiting, he still isn't playing well
Thanks, Santa!!! =)
Feels weird to see Boyd's name in the Big Numbers article above
I know! I'm not sure I dare sell him haha
Ok, I think I narrowed down my transfers. Thoughts are appreciated.
1) FT: Aguero > Bony (I can field 11 with Boyd and no ManCity cover)
2) Aguero + Eriksen > Bony + Yaya (-4)
thanks ahead
People are bringing in little Eric. Crazy to get rid.
It is the only way I can get Yaya into my team with ManCity nice run of fixtures
I prefer 1.
I appreciate the reply Diva
1 by a distance. Eriksen to Yaya for a hit has disaster written all over it to me.
Thanks Walsh, the only thing is on my mind is a ManCity attacking cover for their run of fixtures
I agree with this, but you can survive for one game and if he picks up a yellow after bringing him in for a hit that would be very troublesome. And if there is anyone who will pop up with a double digit surprise after looking like a piece of shit the previous week his name is Christian Eriksen.
hahaha, I totally agree, thanks Walsh
First one for me
cheers
Aguero to Bony seems the obvious choice. Bony looks back to his best beast mode. Will watch United tomorrow and assess Rooney.
look above 😉
Would get him but would have triple swans then.
Swansea's attacking stats not concern you?
Does it matter when he has scored so frequently despite these stats?
Surely it's Bony's attacking stats that are more important. If he's grabbing all the pie, he might be having more pie than someone grabbing a small piece of a larger pie.
Is it apple pie though?
Cherry.
Risky move that, I think Bony enjoy's the cider side of life more
Cherry -> Mississippi Mud for -4?
Yes please Paul Deen
Aguero to Bony for me. Price changes look ok so will wait til some Man City news later on before pulling the trigger.
Option 1: 3-5-2
Boyd + Aguero > Yaya + Austin (bench Kane most weeks)
OR
Option 2: 3-4-3
Siggy + Aguero > Yaya + Bony (Kane, Bony, Costa frontline)
This
In exact same position apart from I have Berahino instead of Kane.
Guzan
Baines / Azpi / Wisdom
Hazard / Sanchez / Siggy / Downing
Aguero* / Bony / Austin*
(Mccarthy / Boyd / Yun / Saylor*)
1 FT & 3.8m itb
A) Aguero & Siggy -> Costa & Yaya (-4)
B) Aguero & Downing -> Rooney & Yaya
C) Aguero & Boyd -> Lukaku/Benteke & Yaya
D) any other suggestion
Van Persie injury tomorrow would make Rooney essential IMO
oops ignore
Aguero to Costa
Boring, but probably best.
A but wait until tomorrow.
Rooney on fire could change everything
suprised people still have so much faith in costa
some great cheaper options doing as well if not better recent weeks
bony, benteke, sakho, dzeko, austin, kane
all of the above have potential to score well, alot of money invested in costa and handicapping the team imo
Less faith in Hull
yup i agree
I'm not sure whether to pick him yet but with those fixtures I do wonder if there's a hattrick in there somewhere.
Also, is Sakho a rotation risk now with Carroll and Valancia starting upfront?I agree, I owned him all season so far, I wouldn't ditch. But I wouldn't go out of my way to get him neither
Indeed, I'm fine with Hazard for now during the home games.
Currently with Oscar & Hazard though.
If I was in the top 1k, I'd consider him. Poor BAPs, loose cannon, but has the chance to tick goals over a certain period of time.
Not for me though, bad value, bad form. That in mind though, he seems to be the safety blanket for the Aguero trasbfer*transfer
kane has to be a fad for me. carroll should be added.
totally agree tho, bony/benteke/austin all look like going toe to toe with costa and a lot cheaper. bony is the one tho. think he will score more points than costa here on in and 2.6m cheaper.think its the fear factor of others owning him and not having him.
Yeah that'll come in to it too. Easy to forget he's 50% owned! A scary stat but not while he's just plodding along like he is.
Have to agree, he doesn't seem to be worth his asking price at the moment. I can only think people appreciate having a fire-and-forget, consistent performer - he's a bit like a forward version of Fabregas. But you can't really captain him, he's not explosive enough.
I can see a rest at home to west ham, with southampton away two days later. If you bring him in now, he basically HAS to get you points vs Hull.
If i'll do Aguero -> Costa:
Forster - (Guzan)
Bertrand - Azpilicueta - Hutton - Baines
Sanchez - Hazard - Siggy - Downing
Costa - Bony
Subs: Guzan, Boyd, Chambers, Austin
3,1 ITB
Is there a need to take a hit? Chambers dropping 0,1 won't change his selling value anyway
Still unsure of this transfer.
Sigurdsson -> Yaya Toure. Aguero -> Bony for -4.
Other mids are Eriksen, Hazard, Sanchez, Boyd.
Not keen on moving Boyd as I'll have to think about benches every week. Not keen on Eriksen, because, well, Eriksen.Give Eriksen until Burnley at home at least
Should I transfer after price change so I get more out of Siggy? Heard he is rising.
What's the latest on Aguero?
out for a month according to reports
Cheers. Now for the big decisions!
Sounds like 30 days or more out, but not official
"Unconfirmed Rumours" that he is out for a month. We should know more tomorrow with Pelligrinis press conference
Cried him self to sleep.
Can someone knowledgeable with FPLstats, Fiso, FFF, etc, please say whether or not Costa is rising tonight?
Fiso says 180% yes, but FPLstats has him locked at 0.0.fpl looks broken
wish I knew. Think I'm going to the sensible thing and wait a few days and see what happens regarding Rooney and Champions League games...
I think he is some sort of price protected as someone said yesterday, but not sure tbh
Hard to predict. Most think he's protected from price change after flag removed.
But the rule is never been officially disclosed. Anything can happen.Cheers. Hard to tell yeah.
Hate to lose 0.1 though even if waiting is sensible
FFF appears to have him locked too.
Quick vote please. If you have to pick one...
Bony
Giroud
Benteke
You have Siggy and Alexis in team.Bony imo
Not Giroud for starters.
Bony vs Benteke is a tough one. Flip a coinbony 90% benteke 10%
Boney honey
Bony
Thanks all.
Sucks that Clyne looks like rising further, was hoping he'd fall back a bit before the Jan WC so I could buy him back on the cheap. People are still buying him though 🙁
Same as Forster. Quite surprised.
casuals
I kept and benched. He's sitting in my team for next week.* 🙂
*assuming he doesn't break or get sent off or go on paternity leave etc.good idea mate. I WC'ed in GW13 otherwise I would have kept him for sure.
If falcao starts tomorrow im doing aguero + chambers to falcao and zabaleta
I'm sorry in advance.
id rather just get rooney...falcao is injury prone and hasn't hit form this season
He hasnt had a proper run of games yet... LVG seems to be managing his game time quite well, easing him back, he is a world class striker, with a better record than either costa or aguero for the last 5-6 years... He will have a bearing on this season when back fit...
Well get him in when it happens or when you see he has stepped it up on the pitch, not now in anticipation that he may get going. Even if he does it this season, in all probability you are still several weeks too soon
aye he can certainly do well, but first he has to play...
Louis van Gaal has confirmed that Radamel Falcao will not start vs Southampton due to match fitness. [guardian]
LvG on Falcao "He is not fit enough to start a game yet. He needs to play 45, 60 or even 90 minutes in the 2nd team"
Falcoa is fit for 20 mins according to LVG
*Falcao
I had read this before posting haha... gave myself a get out clause
Im just trying to put the point across that he is someone that is being completely written off amongst this community and I think this is pre-mature considering we have only seen him coming back from injury...
Costa or Rooney?
Rooney.
Rooney
ah look who it is 🙂
(C)osta
Rooney but ADM over Rooney when he's fit, if you can only afford one of them.
wait and see after tomorrow night
Interesting. I almost automatically went to Costa for my Kun replacement.
But it may be worth waiting... Cheers
Ok lads if Kun is out for a month We can transfer him out and plan our WC to bring him back in correct?
In light of this I need to get rid of him obviously for hit! Who do you reckon?
A) costa - obvious choice but i enjoy watching others who have him be frustrated by his shortcomings, however limited they are
B) benteke - this is where I'm leaning
C) Carroll
d) Rooney - I would really rather notRooney.
yeah he could be back for jan WC but injury could be serious and put him out for months
Yep, we can. And that's why those of us considering Yaya shouldn't worry about ACON, too. Winter wildcard comes just in time.
B) for me I think.
fab/marney/aguero --->>> haz/yaya/sakho worth a -8?
Do you have enough players without fab?
yeah i could just do aguero and marney to sakho and yaya/haz
worried about not owning Haz and having City coverageDon't worry about 'cover' ... Just go for players you think will be best.
well i think Haz and YaYa will both do well but have to sell Fab to get both and do -8.
might be best to give it some time and think it over. was trying to catch pre haz price rise and fab dropIf I had to choose I would go with haz
cool. thanks for the advice. am leaning that way myself but have enough cash to cover price changes. wanna make rooney doesn't get injured tom before doing transfers.
Thinking that I will do Fabianski > Hart and Aguerro> Rooney(-4) and play 4-4-2. Normally wouldn't flip goalies but I think Hart can generate enough points to offset my -4. If Silva does well during the week I may do Fab-Silva for a -8. Not a 100% on YaYa especially with 4 YC. This is what my team would look like:
Hart,
Bertrand, Clyne, Taylor, Hutton
Boyd, Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy
Rooney, Costa
McCarthy, Fab, Chambers, Austin
Make sense or any other recommendations? I have .6 ITBRegretting getting ameobi over Boydinho reading above
he will start for me this GW 😉
1. will fabregas drop 0,2m this week only?
2. fabregas to yaya for free yay or nay? will assess kun replacement lateryes imo
if you can afford it wait until after mid week games but yaya won't play midweek....do you also have haz?
I’ve hazard already with cesc and azpi as chelsea cover
why yaya won’t play at midweek? Isn’t last ucl matchday vs roma very important for city?
1. Yes. I guess base on what happened to Di Maria.
2. Yes, if you also have Haz in team.cheers, but di maria was on orange flag at first week though
The threshold might be different then.
Front 8 G2G this week guys?
Hazard Downing Sanchez Yaya T. Siggy
Costa Kane (Berahino)
then next GW Berahino to Austin?Sounds good. I'm a fellow Kane owner, though, and getting very twitchy.
Cheers. Me being a non owner and you an owner, would you bring him in this week? Can also go for Sakho (or any other of the budget options) instead of Kane
Absolutely not.
Cheers. So it may be Sakho instead of Kane....decisions to be made
Looks good to me
Ta.
Looks pretty solid ... amazing front 8 although you'll have benching issues with that midfield and Aussie back in the side!
Yeah, tell me about it. Not looking forward to my team selections in the coming weeks!
Having said that. It's probably a good situation to be in with too much talent rather than not enough.
Age old dilemma though ... if you downgraded one of Siggy or Downing to Boyd you could upgrade a striker when the big boys start hitting their straps (i.e. Benteke, Lukaku, Rooney, etc.)
Think I'm just going to have to lose 0.1 on fabregas as no idea what transfers to make.
Have you had him from the start?
Nope....brought him in for 9.8.
Just take it I reckon
Yaya Sess .... or just hold
Yeah that's what I wanna to, but it's which striker to bring in for Aguero that I'm not sure about. Initially was all for costa, but now I'm thinking Dzeko or benteke would be a better shout.
Not a big deal. Take it.
Absolutely despise losing value.
He once dropped to 9.7m and got back instantly. 😎
Doesn't matter can still get Di Maria or Silva in for him when the time comes
If it doesn't feel right, better off saving. Especially with United still to play & UCL + EL games.
Stomach the drop & your mind will be at ease 😉True....very true.
Best Aguero replacement?
A) Bony (best form)
B) Lukaku (best fixtures)
C) Rooney (best player and team)
D) other ?
Other strikers are Costa and AustinC
A for now. Waiting for Rooney to play and show his position / form.
A
A
Omg, cant belive hutton scored! What was the reaction like here?
The servers finally succumbed to the traffic.
Euphoric/despairing 80/20 split
Nearly flung my laptop out the window (non Hutton owner)
Slept through it but was lovely to wake up to. Especially as I survived another week without siggy punishing me for being one of the few non owners in the top 10k
Punched the air after watching the news this morning. Would have loved some clean sheet points too though...thanks Guzan.
I'm still crying tears of envy
So consensus all week has been toure for city cover. I can afford him but thinking of going nasri instead. Article draws attention to the match he had this week. Anyone with me?
Not I, Zan. However, I am feeling like Dzeko over Yaya. My midfield has been so tidy, feels silly to shift anyone out at the moment.
I'm considering the same Walsh.
Nasri always flatters to deceive, yaya deceives to flatter.
What happens to Nasri when Silva returns?
He created the second highest number of chances last year so he is still in the thick of it
Normally he just plays on the wing.
You are right im on my own
Front 8 this week...
Oscar Sanchez siggy downing
Bony kun replacement vardy
Not confident with vardy In there but should be ok I think!
Any thoughts in regards to the best option?
1) Aguero Fabregas Boyd --> Dzeko Toure Eriksen (-8)
2) Aguero Fabregas Chambers --> Rooney Toure Azpilicueta (-8)
3) Aguero Downing --> Bony Toure (-4) keep Fabregas
I already have Hazard, Costa, Sanchez and currently 6 players injured/suspended.Don't get rid of Downing if you can help it. (Or Boyd)
Look at Kun and one other (Fabregas) and get Yaya and Bony til Acon.Cheers man. I noticed that Fabregas may be about to go down in value tonight, which would mean I could not go for plan B. So that was my choice and I now have Rooney Toure and Azpilicueta. Aguero better be injured and Rooney/Azpilicueta better not get injured this week, otherwise my risk taking will have been a disaster 🙁
I'm right with you on that one. Currently looking at a team with Fabi, Chamb, Fab, Kun and Austin.
Thinking Hamer(reserve GK), Fabr, Kun --> Pantilimon, Yaya, Costa/Rooney but need to move soon!
Best looking move here fellas?
A) Krul -> Foster/Pantillimon
B) Krul & Aguero -> Hart & Rooney/Lukaku/Bony (4 points)
C) Krul, Chambers & Aguero -> Hart, Baines & Lukaku/Bony (8 points)
Elliot
Terry, Wisdom, Hutton
Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Siggy, Downing
Costa, Kane
Krul, Yun, Chambers, Aguero
Bank 0.6m, 1 freebieI like B.
B
Not too keen on -8 but the moves do look enticing.. I would go for the safe option and do B
Whats the go with Sakho guys? I haven't been keeping tabs on him at all. Missed the last few prior to this week by the looks. Injury?
Whats the thoughts on him in upcoming GW's?Looking very selfish in front of goal, which I guess is a good thing for FPL prospects
Cheers. Thinking him over Kane
I would be worried about rotation with Valencia and carroll
Very good point! Thanks 🙂
Have Fab and Jakupovic in goal.. worth doing a -4 to get a playing backup goalkeeper for next GW?
absolutely not.
