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.
Did the following, thoughts please!
Aguero--->Sakho(Already have Costa and Austin)
Fabregas----->Hazard
Jedinak----->Yaya Toure
and hold .6 in the bank still, thoughts?
Don't get rid of Fab.
I don't like the idea of not having Hazard home against Hull tbh.
Using 2 FT's and taking a -4*
Which man utd mid should I get? Mata??
very hard to decide yet , mata if he starts again
Kane Benteke Lukaku is too lightweighted for just next GW ?
and the i will do : Lukaku to RooneyThat seems okay.
I like that forward line, but I swap Kane and Austin and its even better.
Btw, there's no such thing as "too lightweighted" when it comes to FPL currently as there are so many good options
Not a fan of Kane, other than as an enabler.
Spurs' leading man with good stats, what's not to like? He's an enabler and capable of starting in your front 7
You must not have watched Palace - Spurs yesterday.
He was Good the first half against Chelsea and almost score a goal, played well in the everton game where he grabbed an assist scored against Hull and aston Villa.
I agree, but was not referencing those two 🙂
I've never done transfers this early, but I've been losing out on value for weeks and weeks now. Is there any risk in me bringing in Costa, Cresswell and Jedinak this early? Might Costa be rested midweek?
Costa won't play midweek
Cool, I may aswell pull the trigger then.
I guess he will but you're in no rush to buy. He should be protected.
You can bet your house that Costa won't play the meaningless midweek game. It'll probably be something akin to the team that beat Liverpool in April that plays I would assume
dont rush into things mate
Just worried because I have a lot of players out though.
Aguero, Fabregas, Chambers, Austin, Duff...
John Terry has played every minute of every game this season and not picked up a single yellow card. Experience.
Minutes Played: 1350
Yellow Cards: 0Caulker is the same. iirc he got 1 YC in 38 games last season 😯
But when will he get those goals Rick ??
He's already outscoring Yun by 4 points since I got him in, which is 0.2m per point. Definitely worth it so far, and there's still 2-3 great fixtures coming up!
I'm wondering this too.
.....and not a single bonus point.
Indeed, but still nailed & good value.
Goal threat & his UCL threat is bound to reward us sooner or later.
Replace Fab with:
A) Hazard
B) Yaya
I have Costa & AzpiI've got 6 players flagged 3 red 3 injured, no wildcard.
Bonkers!!
Better to take hits than play short imo RR.
yeah, looks like i will have to take hits no options but i think i'll play with no keeper, or should i?
1 aguerro // 2 austin
any thoughts what should be done with these two?
sell / keep,
you're effectively being relieved of choosing to start Austin away where he's not as effective and have him back for WBAaguerro replacement ??
too much money ITB thenI'm looking at Rooney, don't fancy Costa all tha tmuch
It's what I'll be doing.
rooney ,rvp (not in form) ,{ city striker} , falcao , giroud, ??
Costa
I'm counting my blessings that I can field 11 without a hit thanks to 2 FT, though I won't have aspirations for a very high score (involves starting Marney)...but not taking a hit should almost be like 4-8 extra points in my score given the number of hits that will go out this week..
probably hold on to Moore another week as I don't see him moving in price..so probably Chambers and Aguero out and bench Fabregas and Austinfoster or guzan ?
Guzan
Terry the defender least likely to be rotated in the coming weeks, correct?
Him or Cahill, not really sure tbh.
cheers
I'd say so yeah. Expecting Chelsea to rotate massively for the CL game. I don't think the CB pairing will change at all in the PL games tbh as thats the base of Chelsea's defense
cheers
Yaya toure 5th yellow predictions
Gw 16
Gw 17
Gw 18
Gw 19
??17
And Hutton?
None of those.
Hope so
17
16.
16
He might not even get a yellow card. Look at the stats. He got 3 in the first 5 gws and it was because he was frustrated. Last year he got 4 ycs all year
Hopefully
Good stats!
I'd love to own Yaya.
I'd look past the card count, but can't look past ACON
Before I go to bed, I wanna ask, those with Costa or those getting him in, how many times can you actually see yourselves captaining him in the next 5 GWs?
2 or 3
The reason I ask is cause I only see him as an option this GW, and even then I think I prefer Haz.
Depends on the very next gameweek. I'm captaining him for that, and if he performs then it opens up the chance I'll do it again in the weeks after. A blank and I probably won't.
Yeap this is true. If he hits a brace then it's quite obvious that he'll be seen as a better pick.
I can see him rested at home to west ham with two big away games straight after, so prob only the hull match.
West Ham is also quite a big game these days though.
True but the games are:
26th, West Ham (home)
28th, Southampton (away)
1st. Tottenham (away)
No way he starts all three of those.Then there's the FA cup shortly after Spurs away which could be tricky too depending on the draw
I think he'll be benched for Saints, but he could also be benched against WHM... the point is that its really hard to tell.
Even for WHM, United have NEW and Arsenal have QPR
Probably the two home games.
Again, United have NEW and Arsenal have QPR. Would prefer Rooney (rotation proof imo) or Sanchez (if it looks like he'll be starting)
I would sell him in GW18 if I got him now. I want to avoid the disappointment of him not starting in 1-2 of the x-mas games
Think you will have that disappointment with most of your squad tbh.
Not really, I have 8 solid forward options and all 5 of my defenders are reasonably solid/have decent enough fixtures to cover benched players. All part of the plan... though I want to avoid that happening with an 11m striker if I can
I'm watching a replay of Villa - Leicester on TV and it's half-time. I wonder if Hutton can grab his first goal for the Villains and put a cherry on my Gameweek? 😉
He gets sent off - retrospectively.
D'oh! Then I'll give it:
Noooooooo!
OMG Hutton
and
Hutton -> ?
When that happens to recreate the mood on here earlier. 😀Everyone else will have also had sold him.
I guess I'm too late to move him before he dropped eh? Darn late games.
has jovetic play as lone striker ? seriously considering dzeko now..
I think Dzeko is a good option, especially with Navas and Milner in good form.
Risers
Siggy
Hazard
Fallers
Moses
McGeady
Valencia
That is all.Poor layout, but you get the picture.
They're on the previous page in a better layout. 😛
Excellent news, got both risers there and none of those droppers. Ka-ching!
Are you selling Hazard or Siggy? Otherwise, no ka-ching!!
Well I will eventually, or if they get injured I've now got 0.1 TV from both of them as its the 2nd rise since I bought them 😉
?
No offence Flynn, but why not hulk AR's post on the last page which was earlier and better laid out? 😀
this 😛
😳 Sorry about that. Missed it.
Happens to the best of us! 🙂
Just my opinion - boring is best
I know we play this game for the wild highs and frustrating lows, but I feel as if the really successful players are the ones who make the safest moves
Kun > Costa (HUL) it's a no brainer, lads11 goals in 15. Logical choice for those without.
Cheers. Already got Costa so I'm mulling Rooney, Bony, Lukaku, etc. Tempted to go Dzeko with City's fixtures. Not sure about Benteke.
But with such a dense fixture list it really isn't a no brainer... and his last 5 games are 2-7-6-1-1 ... hardly earth-shattering
For me the choice is very evenly contested between the following, with no clear front-runner:
Costa
Rooney
Bony
Benteke
Lukaku
With outside options being Sakho, Ings, Dzeko/Jovetic, or even PelleOk you're right, maybe the point I was trying to make was that all of the benteke/sakho/Carroll replacements for Kun are misguided.
Not having Costa could cost you more than owning him with a blank
Boring way to play, but it's playing the percentages"Playing the percentages"... I can buy that for the next 2 GW's, sure, but in the 3 xmas gw's he'll only play 2/3 of them which puts him at a massive disadvantage compared to other options.
I didn't own Costa this GW and can't say I'm that disappointed tbh
its not really that simple... for the past month is returns have been what you would expect from a 7m player
Bony, Hazard and Clichy in In for Aguero, Fab and Caulker(-8) worth it?
No.
Yes for me but not now
I'd wait for news Man City team news to assess the extent of:
Aguero's injury
Dzeko's match fitness
Kompany's return
I feel that Dzeko could be an equally as good option as Bony & if Kompany is fit then I'd take him over Clichy because he's a certain starterwhy are you selling Caulker? He has 10 points combined in his last 2 home games and has WBA CPL on his horizon...
Fabianski worth a hit to replace?
Also,
a) Aguero -> Costa
b) Aguero -> Benteke
c) Aguero Eriksen -> Benteke Yaya (-4)Have price changes already happened? Thought they happned at like 2:30.
about 17 minutes ago
Yes
think my moves this week will be Chambers + Aguero > Terry + Rooney for free and field the following
..........................Guzan
........Yun ᴰ Terry ᴰ Hutton ᴰ Baines
Hazard ᴹ Marney ᴹ Sanchez ᴹ Downing
....................Bony ᶠ Rooney
Gilks; Moore, Austin, FabregasGood transfers and good resolve not to take a hit.
yeah I may not even remove Moore at all and just wait to dump him with WC as his price isn't going anywhere
Still think it's a good transfer to make as you never know what will happen with rotation for a cheap playing defender if you can manage it.
actually somewhat tempted by Benteke instead of Rooney and then getting Hart in for Guzan
Good moves, good moves.
Would still play out Rooney today thoughactually somewhat tempted by Benteke instead of Rooney and then getting Hart in for Guzan
Hart in next week meaning..
also probably not making any transfers until WednesdayTekkers is another good option, but why the Hart move?
Surely it isn't necessary?their fixtures are crazy good and Kompany is on 4 YC..Hart 0.4m cheaper and won't be rotated like Clichy and Zaba could
True, but Guzan's great value for now & has solid fixtures.
Hart might be a waste of a transfer IMOit's a week away anyways so I'll likely cool off from it..tempted by Zaba if I don't feel too threatened by Sagna rotation as he at least offers attacking input which Kompany does not
What should I do with? (1FT)
- Aguero
- Fabianski
- Austinwait and decide , hold , hold
I've got all 3. Austin is a keeper, just bench him. I was actually gonna bench him anyways away to everton anyways, so im not too bothered that i've now avoided having to hide behind the couch when others reap the rewards of him potentially scoring!
I'll be doing Aguero>Costa/Lukaku/Rooney/Bony/Benteke, and Fabianski>Hart with 2FT's.This
no, Austin is a forward 😉
Lol
Rest of team?
Fabianski - 4.0
Baines - Naylor - Azpi - Wisdom - Duff
ADM - Sanchez - Siggy - Downing - Boyd
Aguero - Costa - AustinAdm??
Is FFFix better than FPLstatistics for Price Changes? FPLstatistics had Hazard & Siggy around 90% to rise today. Was FFF spot on?
Yes.
Cheers, Beavis.
yep
Cheers, AR.
Just noticed some teams over Christmas will play on 26th and then 28th. I know there's plenty of games traditionally but are fixtures always that close?
In fact pretty much all teams.
Yep, it's a tough, tight schedule.
26th
28th
1st of Jan and the
3rd Round proper of the FA Cup the following weekend Saturday/Sunday the 3rd/4th of JanThis is why we should avoid Costa. Don't forget that Drogba AND Remy both scored against Spurs and got massive praise from Mourinho, who'll no doubt use them in those tight fixtures
Have Hazard and 1FT =
A] Moore & Aguero >>> Ivanovic & Dzeko
B] Aguero >>> CostaCan you field 11 if you just do B? If so, I think I prefer B.
I mean 11 with Moore not counting as a likely starter.
Night all.
Laters
Night Beavis.
night beavis 🙂
Night mate
Night Beavis.
I posted this earlier and was roundly pilloried:
"Right, I'm thinking Aguero and Downing to Dzeko and Yaya (not til Saturday, though). My logic is that once Austin's back next week I'll still want Boyd in my squad and he rotates well with Austin anyway... it's essentially a question of Downing or Dzeko in this respect.
Right move?
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/428573/event-history/15/"
So it's now either:
a) Siggy and Aguero -> Yaya and premium option (up to 10m - can't quite get Roonpig!)
b) Boyd and Aguero -> Yaya and budget option (under 7.5m or so)
If Aguero is not out after all I'll hold the transfer.I think you'll want some City coverage so Yaya is a given. I'd go with B though personally. Siggy is great value
your link doesn't work, its below 🙂
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/428573/event-history/15/Yeah sorry, I added a " at the end and it transformed into "
Thoughts on the switch? Think I need that citeh cover for the next six, they're golden. Prepared to hedge my bets if needs be, and dzeko was a monster last season...
You have 4.2itb, where do you put it, if you ignore Costa?:
Hart (Elliot)
Baines Terry Caulker Hutton Wisdom
Hazard Sanchez Yaya Siggy Downing
Austin Benteke Kane
Could do Siggy/Downing>ADM perhaps? Or Kane>Lukaku? Anything else?Kane ---> Bony imo
I've been bitten twice by Dzeko this season and vowed I'd never go back.
Those fixtures are just too frigging plum thou.
Might go Agüero & Chadli > Dzeko & Yaya 2fts and play with no gk if Krulliot out.
I was only expecting a point anyway.Bony/Benteke/Lukaku over Dzeko for me...
Commentator said Villa have invested heavily in a new dugout...
Yes, that's the one thing at Villa Park that was in need of heavy investment. 😆
