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.
If you had unlimited funds for an upgrade on Chadli, who would you pick? Currently have Alexis, Hazard, Sigurdsson and Boyd.
Yaya seems the obvious pick, right?
Yes, I'd say Yaya too
Yaya, yaya yaya, yaya yaya Toure! Kolo, kolo kolo, kolo kolo Toure! Yayayayaya! 😀
Yaya
My current team is as:
Heaton(Hamer)
Cissoko chambers dawson(Bruce Taylor)
Jedinak Sanchez Siggy Fabregas Chadli
Aguero Costa Austin
0.6 in Bank
thinking of using wc because of injuries and suspensions..
any help???
Yaya is the obvious pick but Silva and Ramsey are darkhorses
Has to be Yaya
Yaya
Aguero / Siggy --> Bony / Yaya for free
Yay or nay? And why?
That would leave me with this front 8:
Hazard Sanchez Yaya Downing Boyd
Costa Bony AustinOooh I like that.
Good moves, but both are short term options obviously. Unless you are planning to use your jan WC early that's a lot of FTs used
I can do the exact same transfers but I'm holding back because:
-Lose a lot of value on Sigurdsson (got him early)
-Sigurdsson is a season-keeper for his price
Other than that it's a good move.I agree with that, I will reconsider and make my decision later.. Thanks guys 🙂
I did Downing/Kun to Yaya/Benteke but I understand the other way of doing it.
Is this front 8 strong enough going forward? I could get to it for free:
Siggy, Haz, Alexis, Yaya, Boyd
Rooney, Austin, Sakho + 3.5 ITB
Or should I bring in Bony instead of Sakho?It's great for now! Keep money ITB will be useful.
Cheers, though it's my hypothetical team if I do Chadli + Kun -> Yaya + Sakho with my 2 FTs. Still like it?
I'd probably get Bony over Sakho.
Cheers, I'll be doing that.
Should I rotate Sigurdsson/Austin or get rid of Austin and upgrade him to Rooney/Lukaku/Bony? Only his home fixtures are good.
I would hate to have to rotate those 2. I would ship Austin given those choices, probably to Rooney if he plays well today.
Are Lampard/Milner worth consideration?
:jeez: Asking whether Lampard is worth consideration or not sounds really awkward 🙁
Are u going to play him? U do not get his points by putting him on bench
Not every week, sometime
I've got Milner; got me 4,4,6 last few weeks so pretty solid for his price! Has hit some very good form and was City's best player against Everton, amazing work rate and I wouldn't be surprised if he continues to get starts and rack up more assists or the odd goal!
Milner good call, in very good form having watched the city vs everton game.
How much gametime should I expect from him? Atleast 1 start in 2 game?
definitely starts 2 games in the xmas schedule and sub in the others, he will get points, an established premiership player.
Not for me. You're asking for trouble with all the rotation
🙁
Wow, look at the top scoring team this week. Clark, Hutton, Carroll, Yaya, double QPR defence and benches Courtois. Just a casual 153 transfers made this season, with 11 this game week. Gotta laugh 😀
Was just about to post the same thing. I'm sure he knew exactly what he was doing with that -40 this week ;D
Yeah.
You looking good in the Cup Nick , that Hutton goal was goldenThanks. I know. I woke up disappointed to see Villa concede, then I was amazed that Hutton scored!
Had Hutton too , goal of the week !
Yep haha, made my game week. Can't really complain but, that YC cost him two extra points. How are you going in the PP cup?
Wow, he's into the top 3,314,000 in the world thanks to that score!
He got his wish though ... we're talking.
Or her
You must know they play a diff game where each GW score counts
front 8 of
Haz Sanchez Yaya Siggy Downing
Rooney Costa Austin.
Does this look good or should i downgrade 5th mid and upgrade Austin. Thinking rotation could be an issue so strong front 8 could be goodI'd stick for now
Anyone considering Jon Walters?
Three goals and an assist in his last 4 appearances. Adam not getting a game so prob on pens too.
5.2MSeems harsh getting rid of Austin but his lack of a threat away from home on top of his ban right now tempts me. His away fixtures aren't great and I'm not big on rotating.
Austin>Rooney
Aguero>Dzeko
Rooney, Dzeko, Costa are a decent frontline. We'll see how Rooney does tomorrow.Keep Austin
Hey DZ, how are we all?
With the funds raised from selling Aguero, is anyone planning to go big at the back?... I am.Hi! Who are you planning to bring in?
Tempted by Zabaleta... He might miss a game or two over Xmas but I'll have Naylor on the bench who I wouldn't mind playing in most games.
I've been there ever since I wildcarded!
Nice rank TFF!
Thanks a lot Innsie! 😀
nice grav.
I told you I'll change it 🙂
How big? I already own Baines and Terry. Adding Coleman and Ivanovic would be overkill. Considered Zabaleta as well but I prefer rotating the last spot between my cheaper defenders.
Baines - Azpi - Zabaleta - Naylor - Yun.
Pretty big eh? 😆 Happy with my front 8 though so I don't know what to do with the cash.Happy with Austin? His away fixtures look dreadful. Playing a 442 and benching him then?
Yeah I'm happy with him. I'll play Boyd in a 3-5-2 this week.
Nope. Already have Baines and Azpi which is enough. Going for a Sanchez-Hazard-Yaya dream trio 😀
I'm tempted by Yaya too but the value offered by Siggy and Downing mean I've got no room for him.
Fair enough mate. I need a Chadli replacement, so he's the obvious pick for me.
lei,CPL,wba,BUR,SUN the next 5 for Yaya 😉
Same fixtures as Zaba 😉
Might get rotated though. Good shout though, you've got more than a decent bench to cover him. By the way, congrats on your rank as well! 😀
Yeah Naylor and Yun have some decent fixture so that won't be too much of a problem I'd imagine. Thanks a lot mate 🙂
Hiii 😀
Already have Baines, Coleman, Terry, Clyne, Duff. Can I go bigger than this? 😆😯 🙂
Will invest all cash in midfield getting likes of Yaya/Hazard/Nasri/Fabregas/Silva(2 of them) 🙂
😯
😉
Considering it. I'm probably going to roll out a back four of Baines, Azpilicueta, Clyne and Hutton next week. My plan B is to switch Chambers to a City defender and potentially roll out a back five for crazy differential. 😀
How about kolarov?
That's the problem with my plan B - which City defender and how likely are they to start...
It's only a few weeks until we've got the Jan WC so I think now's the time to try something a little different 🙂
That's my thinking. Although it's crazy differential, I don't think it's a totally crazy idea. Aside from Aguero and Yaya, both of which come with asterisks, the best defenders are matching the best mids and forwards for form at the minute.
Thing is, I don't understand how Sagna starts BPL games. He is utter crap! I could understand giving him the odd game in UCL or cups, but not rotate with one of the best full backs in the premier league!
Yeah it is annoying. With a strong bench he'd still be a good pick, I think he'll probably miss just one game over Xmas.
Yeah true, he is definitely on my radar.
What makes you think he will only miss 1 game?Without Aguero City are a lot weaker, so I don't think Pellegrini will rotate his best players much. I have nothing to base this on though, it's probably just me trying to convince myself 😛
That does seem decent logic I guess, you could well be right. If he starts against Leicester next week i may be wary however, that would be 5 starts in a row...although I guess if Sagna starts against Roma and Zaba against Leicester, Zaba should start again against palace?
Haha I'm confusing myself here, but it is so annoying how Sagna is complete trash but still gets starts over zaba.Pretty sure Zaba will start against Roma 🙁 I guess there's no point trying to figure out if/when he'll be benched, but if you do get him then I advise you get/have a good defensive sub for when the inevitable happens.
Yeah, good point.
Who are you replacing Aguero with, Innsie?
Bony for me.
Chadli will come good.
Aguero, Chambers, Wilson --> LOLkaku, Baines, Zabalete (-8) ?
You need this to get a playing XL ?
If so do it.
Current team:
Courtois 4.0
Baines Naylor Dummett Hutton Wisdom
Sanchez Hazard Siggy Chadli Albrighton
Aguero Rooney Austin
Options include:
A) Aguero/Chadli > Bony/Yaya (-4)
B) Aguero/Chadli/Albrighton > 7.0/Yaya/Downing (-8)
C) Aguero/Albrighton > Dzeko/Downing (-4)
A
liked the C.
D) Aguero/Chadli > Costa/Downing (-4)
A for me 🙂
I prefer Benteke,however.I really want Downing in, too. How do I do it? 😥
Can't have them all man 😉
B)? :wink:,
Attacking rotations never work for me. There should be no rush to get Downing as well, he's up against a solid Sunderland team away from home this week
Dzeko will surprise us.
A
Too much Swans?
Nah Bony is a beast.
If selling Aguero at 12.5 a drop won't effect my selling value right? He's currant value is 12.9
it meant you bought him at 12,1
if he drops 0,1 now, you will sell him at 12,4
Depends on how much you bought him for.
Foster
Ivanovic/Clyne/Baines
Yaya/Hazard/Siggy/Alexis/Boyd
Kane/Aguero*
(Fabianski/Hutton/Yun/Austin*)
1 FT. Nothing in the bank.
Aguero to Costa the obvious move?I'd say so, unless you want to go without and be risky. 😉
Mind taking a look at mine, TFF?Done. 🙂
Yep.
Aye, not obvious but good move 😉
Yip
Hello Peps,
Krulliot
Hutton-Naylor-Baines-Duff-Wisdom
SChez-Haz- Siggy- Boyd-Eriksen
Roon-Kun-Austin
(A)
Krul -> Courtois
Kun -> DC
(B)
Kun -> Lukaku
Eriksen -> Yaya
Krul -> Guzan
Any other suggestions also welcome.B.
Hi guys, I want to transfer out Aguerro + Chadli this week.. Which pair do you think is best to replaced it? thanks.. 🙂
a) Dzeko + Yaya
b) Dzeko + Hazard
c) Rooney + OscarI'm going Lukaku + Yaya.
I've brought Dzeko. He's the natural replacement of Kun.
Doubling up on Swansea isn't THAT bad:
"15 of Swansea’s 19 PL goals this season have been either scored or assisted by one of Wilfried Bony or Gylfi Sigurdsson. Duo."
19 goals in 15 weeks though
This. They aren't exactly a free-scoring side.
15 games.
3rd striker (have Costa and Austin)
Bony
Carroll
Sakho
Dzeko
It's either Rooney or Yaya, so if I get one of these I can afford YayaBenteke?
Maybe, not sure tbh
Benteke
Dzeko.
Carrot
Lukaku
Bony
Has to be Bony for me.
Keep Cesc or buy Yaya? I bought Cesc at 9M
Really want to keep Cesc all season but City fixtures are unrealI was in a similar conundrum and I bought Yaya
and your midfield will be:?
Keep imo. Find other way to get Yaya?
My mid are: Cesc Haza Sanchez Downing Boyd
Not a fan of 3-5-2 so dunno who to sell to get YayaWhy not a fan of 3-5-2? 😮 Mate, its about points even if it means going against crowd. A cheap forward will potentially outscore a cheap midfielder in the end. Boyd to Yaya and Aguero to whoever possible will not only improve your starting XI but also improve your bench 🙂
yeah you're right but I may put lots of points on the bench though, that is only negative thing about 3/5/2 atm
you only can play 4 midfielders a week, so I think money should be invested in big defenders and keep BoydIf you can get someone like Bojan/Naismith, they do have better potential than Boyd plus not expensive. Suspension/Injuries/Rest means all 8 players will be utilised somehow 🙂
Coming back to your question, Fab to Yaya is fine as you can always switch back
Fab out mate.
Ohh... Just noticed I have a 5-digit ranking for this first time 😎 😯 😆
Congrats SH 🙂
Thanks, hope I can come close to 50k by Jan WC 🙂
Hey there fellow Austin captainer 😀
So benching or selling? Benching, I suppose.*Hi-fi* 😎
Obviously benching 😉
Dont have many issues, so trying to sort my bench this week 🙂
Well done 🙂
Thanks! Hope Clyne and Rooney score goals 😛
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?
Siggy > Eriksen will be a good call maybe?Those aren't bad scores for his price really.
Pls check Eriksen's last 8 GWs and come back
I got him at 6M, sold at 6,8M, went for Downing, still no regret now, wont get him back after winter WC considering his fixtures
Do we have more news on Aguero's injury?
Finally up to 13k.. hopefully the green arrows continue.
Anybody see that UFC last night?
It's just about the most entertaining thing on telly
Anybody else got Siggy and Downing and not want to double up on SWA and WHM?
It's leaning me towards Rooney or Dzeko.
This GW will result in a huge change in fortunes for the people who get it right. I liked the security of having Aguero. 🙁o/
Right now I'm contemplating 2 moves
A. Kun -> Roo
B. Kun -> cheapo & Marney -> Yaya (-8); Power 5 until Jan WC.Yea. I need to change Fabianski out too. Thinking Kun Fabianski and JWP > Dzeko Sterling and Guzan
I have both and if I'm not impressed by Rooney tomorrow I'll be bringing in Bony. He's on fire.
Whats the latest on duff?
Double Swans attack too much?
Yes imo
Nope
No
depends if it is britton and shelvey or siggy and bony 😉
noNot in my opinion
0.1 short of Kun & Austin ➡ Costa & Benteke for free. Ouch.
Could be a blessing or a sign then - keep Austin
no problem, keep austin powers
I'd keep Austin. Maybe he's a better value than Costa. Big if there. I own both.
This looking good for -4?
Aguero -> Tekkers
Chadli -> Yaya
.1 away from doing Aguero -> Costa, Chadli- > Yaya and Duff -> Baines .... -8....
ideas?Nothing official but obviously he's out for a while.
