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.
Is Ivan worth the 1.2 price over Azpi. Looking for one of them to replace chambers in my team
A) Ivan
B) Azpi
C) Terry
D) Cahill ?
If you have cash to burn then yes. If not, the 1.2 isn't worth it.
With Ivan I'd have 2.7 in the bank.
With Azpi I get 3.8 to spend else whereWorth it then. You have cash to burn.
Azpi is a BAP magnet, Ivan hasn't hit his stride offensively
I have both but would keep Azpi if I had to choose. Extra cash for the striker fund
Worth it imo.
Are most people "all out" on here or still got Soton or ManU players to play still?
I've a disastrous score of 27 with Rooney and Forster to play ... I'd be absolutely chuffed to make 35 methinks.36 with Rooney to play.
24 all out 🙁
Chin up lad , but nice to close that gap
A haul from LCyne and you will pass me out 😆
lol , it's possible . Nah, will take a 2 pts and run
Good GW to get that bad round outta the bag Badger 😉
You'll be setup better than most this coming week mate, don't worryHaha cheers mate. Here's hoping. Your plans all sorted then?
🙂
A little bit now 😉 Thinking of Marney & Kun --> Downing & LukakaNice. I'm thinking of getting Dzeko
Could be a great choice Badger for sure, wanna see him play a bit before I make a decision
Yeah thats the annoying thing isnt it. I want him and Silva, maybe ADM but don't know what they'll be like
Aye, most of these replacements for Kun are up in the air right now. It was the same when AdM got injured, a lot of good options.
Rooney and Clyne left
Just Rooney and 33. Plenty of people will have Soton players tomorrow. Soton cleanie is bad news in fact.
Just Clyne left.
Looking at those in and around my rank , most are "all out "
Sample of 40 gave me 2 x Rooney's , 1 x Pelle and a couple with Saints 1 x defender, ao and 1 x Tadic38 all out w/ Fabi's & Austin's red in the bag 🙂
33 all out.
Hoping that Sot concede.
40 all out.
33 w/Rooney, Forster, Clyne.
40 all out
47 all out..managed to break into 70k for the first time for this season..hopefully more green arrows in the coming weeks
Great going mate! What a GW 🙂
50 all out and now i will do -4 transfer this week.
Fab and Kun > Costa (c) and Yaya .... hopefully i made the right call 😀thanks mate 😀
Just Forster to go. Not sure how I feel about that as a United fan 😕
45 all out.
Amazing when a score of 40 is a good haul ... so many reds and misfires!!
I'm on 32 and I got a green arrow which put me back into the top 10k 😕 unbelievable really.
Wowee!!
42 all out (after auto subs)
34 with Roon to go
thought all was lost after 8 points on day 1. got up to 35 last night, Clyne to go.
Hey lads, need a bit of advice here!
Guzan (Schmeichel)
Baines, Azpi, Chambers (Wisdom, Yun)
Sanchez, Haz, Siggy, Chadli (Boyd)
Aguero, Rooney, Austin
0.8 ITB, 2 FTs..
Obvious areas to address are Aguero, Chadli and Chambers.
What would you be my best move here you reckon?
Aguerro > Costa, Chambers > Creswell
Aguero -> Costa, Chadli -> Eriksen/Downing. Play Wisdom this week then use next week's FT on Chambers
Aguero > Costa or Bony
Chadli > Downing unless you go with Bony above ... might have enough for Yaya?
Don't worry about Chambers
Repost from last page:
Thought on this team for next GW?
Guzan
Baines Azpi Hutton
Hazard(C) Yaya Sanchez Downing Boyd
Costa Bony
Bench: Foster Dummett Moore Austin
I will wait for more news on Aguero before to make any transfer.Looks fine.
Would you trade Balotelli for Dzeko in a draft league?
Yes - Dzeko could feature quite heavily for some time.
Yes
Oh hell yes
definitely 😆
In a heart beat
anything to get rid of Balo
yes
I am leaning towards 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 ITBI like it. Hart is guaranteed at least 2-3 cleanies over the next 6 imo. Any help with my team above?
just do the hart and rooney moves..wait and see how silva performs
Who is better for this week? Bojan or Eto'o? 😐
Can get someone upto 8.1m but that wouldnt allow Tiote to Fabregas next week...Bojan. Looks a player.
I would prefer Eto this week , but neither in the longer term.
Bojan ? Stoke,s fixtures not that great and were lucky to come up against a rudderless Arse defence this week .Have to play only this week, after that he will be on bench 😛
Ahh ok , Eto then
Bojan for sure
neither..other options?
Anyone upto 5.6m? 🙁 Will only play this week and then on bench from next week barring injuries/suspension
Or I can get a better striker, say Dzeko/Carroll and settle for mid-price midfielder like Bolasie/Jedinak/Lampard/Milner
FiT iteam users: who would you bring in from the last fixture - Rooney/pelle/mata/RVP?
Or would you use transfer for next gameweek??
Guzan Given
Baines Dummet Wisdom Yun Wilson
Sanchez Haz Siggy Downing Marney
Kun Bony Austin
1 Ft, 2.8m ITB
Which is better?
A. Marney + Kun > Yaya + Benteke (-4)
B. Kun + Wilson > Costa/Rooney + Azpi (-4)
C. Kun > Costa/Rooney
D. Others?
any thought?C -> Costa
Fabregas > Oscar free
or
Aguero > Costa free
or
Fabregas + Aguero > Yaya + Costa -4
?The last one
I prefer #2.
I'd keep Fab for sure, by process of elimination. It's B for me mate 🙂
No other strikers tickle your fancy?Too risky to get Toure in to make up the -4?
And not really, other strikers are Bony and Austin. Benteke or Dzeko are other options but leaning heavily towards Costa
i just did option 2 too 🙂 with Costa most likely being my cap 😀
and will transfer yaya out around xmas
Who will win this H2H?
A) +24 points
B) Rooney + Pelle + Clyne + DDGA
A
Cheers. Hopefully the game is a boring 1-1 draw with Smalling and Cork scoring 😀
lol at people calling their scores disastrous
You should try 18😯
all out?lol, I had a look at your team actually. Brutally unlucky with both Fabianski and Chambers mate. Are you gonna take some hits to fix your team or just ride it out?
I had 4 red cards and 2 injuries.
Tough week.Was happy enough until the fabianski incident, that was one red too far
I have two frees
And it not over yet Rooney and Clyne to go. You never knowThats not too bad.
I took the decision to use a free to do Clyne -> Azpi.
Regretting that now as that extra free opens up a lot more options at this point.All you need is a Rooney hat trick tomorrow and all will be well 🙂
Jesus...what's your plan for the coming week?
I'll be taking a -12.
Assuming you're talking about your own team, you still have two to play. I scored 22 from 3 today and nearly doubled my score. There's always hope if you've picked well and we know you have a history of picking well.
The GW isn't over yet.
I wish it was.
Blow full time
Aguero out Costa in
Siggy out Eriksen in
For free
Worth it?
Cant do Dummet > Azpi for .1 thoughKeep Siggy. Get Azpi
Agree.
My defense is - Baines, Dummet, Taylor (Swa), Duff, Caulker.
Who should i get rid for Azpi? have 1.8 in the bank by selling Kun > Costa
Regardless, Siggy's last 8 game week scores are- 2,4,2,9,2,7,3,2. only two good scores. So why the Siggy love so much?
This
My bench scored just 8 points less than my whole team. 😆 Anyone beat this?
My bench never scores more than 2pts 😆
😆 would slot stright int o my starting 11 so 😀
I'm not normally a fan of rotating attackers, but thinking of home/away rotating Ings/Austin for the next 5-6 weeks
Aguero + Boyd -> Ings + Yaya (-4) ?
Gives me a front 8 of Costa, Sanchez, Haz, Yaya, Siggy, Downing, Ings, Austin
Thoughts?Was thinking the same, but think Dzeko might be better than Yaya due to 4yc's and ACON.
Good point, but I dont mind taking the chance on Yaya, even if he misses a game in the next 5. Dont trust dzeko at all
ings and austin are both worthy starters... which gives you as option if yaya gets that 5th YC... looks good
Exactly what I was thinking.. thanks Jag
Would you bring in Rooney Rvp mata or pelle on last game?
Rooney or RvP imo
Seriously considering Downing + Aguero out for Yaya and Dzeko.
Like Downing, but prefer to keep Siggy and Yaya more likely to deliver.
Assumig Dzeko is fit (big if) he could clean up with Aguero out - as he did last year.
Can anyone talk me out of it...?!
Yaya 4 yellows is an auto no for me.
Fair point - and AFCON but still a few games away.
Should have 5 games
Normally the case for me but someone pointed out that last year he got 4 YC all season.
Plus 3 of 4 this season were picked up in first 5 weeks when he just seemed frustrated. 1YC in last 10.
When I add in ACON I don't like it but it's hard to deny that on pens and FKs he could do some serious damage this month. We know he's capableAnd less likely than others to be rotated - he`s kinda fixture-proof in some respects.
It's far from crazy. I would rather lose Siggy than Downing, but hey, it's your team. He who dares!
Yeah, I thought about that, but have had Siggy from the start so would never get him back.
Have exact funds to do it, too so may need to move tomorrow...!Me too, and I still have him. But half of his goal and assist output was in the first three games. His returns are starting to look less and less reliable. Though no doubt he will produce on occasion
Wow yeah, hadn`t noticed that! Still, not many better options for 6.4 (my SP now) so will probably hold. May well go back for Aguero + Downing when he`s fit again - drop in Aguero price will probably mirror (or close) any rise in Downing`s.
Tough choice , I'm looking at bringing Downing in as a 5th mid .
However, there is every chance Yaya and Dzeko will rake in the points in the coming weeks.
Has to be your decision but if you feel pretty strong about it , then just do it.Cheers!
Have held Downing for some time - your team is in good shape if he`s your fifth mid!Yeah thanks. Been a little lucky here and there , hope it lasts
any takers on aguero to rvp (c) this week... strangely tempting even just because it makes it easy to switch back to kun when he is fit... and rvp has looked pretty sweet last couple...??
I can see the appeal, but not for me. I think bony is looking beast mode lately
i better post my team
2FT. 0.0 itb
bego (krul)
pocognoli jags hutton (duff chambers)
oscar downing jedi sanchez (fabs)
lukaku bony aguero
am thinking aguero --> rvpYou actually don't have any other pressing issues. Few differentials already so I'd go for Costa in fairness. But RVP/rooney could work.
You may need some bench cover though
Hey lads, need a bit of advice here!
Guzan (Schmeichel)
Baines, Azpi, Chambers (Wisdom, Yun)
Sanchez, Haz, Siggy, Chadli (Boyd)
Aguero, Rooney, Austin
0.8 ITB, 2 FTs
A. Aguero + Chadli > Benteke/Lukaku + Yaya
B. Aguero + Chadli > Costa + Eriksen/Mirallas
C. Aguero > Costa/Benteke/Lukaku and save other FT.
D. Other?Any consideration for bony?
Is it wise to double up on Swans attack? That's the one thing putting me off..
Bony keeps scoring, I'm considering ditching siggy some stage soon
Bony and Siggy go hand in hand, Siggy feeds Bony. Don't ditch Siggy
Both are heavily involved in Swansea's goals. I don't see a problem with doubling up. I beleive Bony is a better prospect than Siggy at the moment too
bony in form of his life and very unlucky not to score 4 goals in last two matches.
I like A. Toss a coin between the two.
Will I go -4 or -8??
Chambers and Aguero to Zabaleta and Costa. Means I have to play Boyd.
Or
Chambers, Fabregas and Aguero to Zabaleta, Silva(if fit) and Costa?-4, and just play boyd as long as you can field 11 players + 1 or 2 players on the bench
I don't know what you will do, but I prefer the top one. 🙂
Team is
Adrian
Baines, Chambers, Naylor, Dummet, Yun
Sanchez, Hazard, Fabregas, Sigurdsson, Boyd
Aguero, Kane, Aguero .4itbYou have problems up front! :p
Whoops Rooney is one of those Aguero's lol
I have the same three red flagged players. My plan A is to just swap out Aguero if he's out for a month or more.
I will probably do the top two transfers but I'm trying to decide who I swap Fabregas to if I do.. Silva means I upgrade Kane to Fletcher/Sakho in two weeks whereas if I done Fabregas to Downing for example I can upgrade Kane to Dzeko/Bony etc
If you have no forwards or mids from these players' teams, which would you prefer until the end of the year?
A) Dzeko
B) Benteke
C) LukakuOr D) Rooney
Another good option. Will assess his performance against Southampton. Its between Tekkers and Rooney for me
B)
Mainly because I can't see any other goal scorers for Villa. Whereas Everton and City could have a multitude of goal scorersThat doesn't say much considering how bad villa are attacking wise...
This is the main reason I will be avoiding Benteke , until "further notice"
But when they do score, there is a very strong chance Benteke is amongst the points.
but they never score 😀
10% of 10 goals is more than 100% of 0 goals 😉
Lets not be silly now. Villa do score goals, and with Aguero gone I'd expect City's goals to dry up somewhat. Everton aren't exactly on fire either.
Yeah im just pulling your leg abit. Benteke is very much on my radar, but i think i'll wait 2-3 gw's to see how he holds up
* This
You both have valid points, but I preferred my pie analogy a couple of pages back. 🙂
I'd wait to see how city line up midweek. If I thought Dzeko would start the pl games I would definitely get him. City's fixtures are too good
C) goals incoming
Rooney or Luka imo
Benteke
Good replies. Thanks all!
any love for silva?
Yep just waiting to see if he is fit
hopefully he starts vs roma
Thoughts on this?
Aguero Barkley Chambers ------> Benteke Yaya Bertrand?
Gives me this for next GW.
Adrian
Bertrand Clichy Collins
Hazard(C) Yaya Sanchez Siggy
Pelle Rooney Benteke
Mannone Marney Dummett Moore
thanks in advanceOr Aguero + Chambers -----> Bony + Azpi (-4)
Then next GW Barkley ---> Fab ?
where's costa?
in 50% of teams wanting 6 points every 2 or 3 weeks
How does this look for next week?
Heaton
Baines Coleman Terry Clyne
Sanchez Yaya Sigurdsson Downing
Rooney Eto'o/Bojan
Thanks!consider Sakho in place for Eto/Bojan
Need cash for next move 🙁
Sakho is 5.7, buy before he rises!
Agree but then I will 0.1 short of Tiote to Fab(assuming he drop once) next week
Eto/Bojan are a good shout then.
Eto can score big when he's in among the points. When? that's the billion dollar question
Bojan only has an assist or one goal in him.
Tough call.
I'd go with Bojan, he's in very good form.
Yaya seems to be very popular.
Worth the 10.7?
If Aguero just misses 1 month would that affect yer thinking about him?If you have a midfielder who needs replacing Yaya is a great option. Its not for me though as I already have a perfect midfield.
...except for missing Fábregas after this Gameweek. 😉
Hazaard > Fábregas
I got Yaya 2 GW's ago before Aguero was injured, so no
A) Yaya & Bony
or
B) Siggy and CostaA
both will be off to ACON though yeah?
b
I think people without Yaya will regret it more, so A
A
A) Costa will be rotated during the busy xmas schedule.
A
Would you trade Clyne for Downing in a draft league?
Depends on whether you need a midfielder or defender ... I probably would
I would.
So who got Hutton finally in our league?Not sure. I saw that somebody did, can't remember who. Good for them.
Pleased with my Yaya capture, he's proving to be quite the catch for Gerrard+Navas, especially as Milner has turned it up a notch points wise too 🙂I'm getting very frustrated with the state of the league though. First Borginho-gate, and then my latest transfer with TJ being vetoed :/
Well done, Yaya served you well! McGregor made my day, but I think I left Cisse on the bench. 🙁
What's up with Borginho gate? Not realy active in the past few days/weeks perhaps.I made a trade for Lamela while having agreed a 2nd trade with Borginho where I would send him Lamela for Eriksen (and a makeweight), and had specifically told him that I wouldn't have accepted the Lamela trade without the deal with him being in place for Eriksen ahead of time, which he was fine with, .. but then once I got Lamela and sent him the offer he pulled out. He's an incredible hypocrite, and the whole situation is just so infuriating.
Then in a separate situation I agreed a trade with TJ for Pelle, but 6 people vetoed it since they thought TJ was giving away assets, which is fine, but one of the people who vetoed was Davies - who himself made a very lopsided trade with TJ at the very same time. Ridiculous double standards...
Anyways, congrats on McGregor, a penalty save is nice. I suppose you probably aren't interested in Heaton then as per my trade suggestion on fantrax? 😛
Btw, how tradeable are Vargas and Jovetic for you? You've got 4 strikers so I figure you might be willing to let one of them go?Wow, that Borginho story is really a stunner. Better learn the hard lesson, never make such a grey deal.
You cannot argue with people making trades similar to yours - whether lopsided or not. It's in the name ogf teh game - people will always try to outwit and outlast other people. lol
Vargas I can consider to get rid, but not Jove. The time has come for him.. 😉Well the thing was that I got several confirmations in writing from him, and even specifically asked him not to burn me, but he still did. I thought there was more integrity among people in the league, but I guess no everyone is as forthright as I believed!
Yeah I suppose you're right about the 2nd part, I just find it odd that someone would object to a trade when they themselves have a similar trade pending. Again, it suggests a lack of integrity imo. We can all veto trades for the sake of getting one over eachother but I think there's a level of sportsmanship that should be observed as well.
You seem to need defenders more than anything as you only have two. Would you accept Coloccini for Vargas? Newcastle have the most CS's, the 2nd fewest big chances conceded, and the 2nd fewest goals conceded in the last 6 GW's. I have Coleman and Clyne as well which is why Coloccini is somewhat expendable even if I think he's great value for the season.Coloccini is someone I can consider... but why the red flag besides him? 😯
I'm not sure tbh. He was injured for a couple of games but just played 90 minutes against Chelsea so it could be just the system being weird and not changing it. Let me google around a bit
lease do so. I'm waiting. And let's continue this on a "fresher" page 😛
I've just had a search around twitter, newsnow, google, etc.. and there's actually a couple of comments, albeit rather vague, about a "slight knock" and needing some scan ahead of the next game, but no quotes or anything from Pardew about it. It doesn't seem like anything serious, especially considering that he did just play the full 90 mins against Chelsea and has a full week to rest.
Fwiw Steven Taylor is suspended for their next game, so I'd be really surprised if Coloccini doesn't play.
Let me know if you're still happy to go ahead with it?
Anyone else have Sigurdsson from the start? 6.5M selling value now is great, probably won't sell him though!
From gw 2 , lol started with Shelvey.
I will probably keep himSeason keeper I think. I foolishly sold him for about 3 weeks back when it was the trendy thing to do.
Got him at 6.0, sold at 6.8, got him at 6.7 again, and now has a sell value of 6.8 for me. He's a solid little money-churner for sure
Not me. Young & Caulker -> Chester & Siggy after the season opener though, my only hit this year so far.
I won't sell him for now.haha, one of those who fell into the Chester GW1 trap 😆
He gave me 2 CSs, though 😉
Jumped on train very late, got him at 6.6m but wont sell him barring injuries... He is gold at that price imo 🙂
Yeah, from the start.
Half his goal/assist output was in the first 3 gameweeks tho.
I think he gets talked up a bit on here. Good for the price, but not all that.
Will sell aft i clear up the pressing issues in my team
Fabianski (Myhill)
Wisdom Terry Clyne Moreno Dummett
Hazard Yaya Downing Siggy Chadli
Ageuro Bony Vaz Te
1mil ITB
Hows Aguero & Chadli ---> Dzeko & Sanchez (-4)? (Pending injury details and Dzeko playing midweek)
wildcard or -8 ?
if you wildcarded would you do more than 3 transfers?
-8.
I'd definitely value a wildcard at more than 8 pointsyep I am making 4 with the -8 but would make about -20 worth on the WC.
