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.
Any advice? 1FT, 0M ITB.
Guzan
Baines Terry Wisdom Taylor
Downing Sigurdsson Hazard Sanchez
Costa Aguero [!]
Bench: Marney, Dummet, Austin (banned)
Concern: Aguero
Aguero > Whoever takes your appeal
Thinking Dzeko but we'll see how tomorrow and this week pans out
GTG , just need to wait on Aguero news and 1 of the few that can escape a hit this week.
he will be put for over a month according to many and his reaction plus pellegrinis hesitance would suggest so too - would much rather take a hit and play a striker than Wisdom if you ask me
Agree , but you have 1 ft ?
Just need a replacement for Aguero then ?Wisdom home to Villa , fair chance of a cleanie.
But Yeah Dzeko looks good going forward so could repay , away to Leicester
Wait for news because aguero can score big if he isnt out. If he is confirmed out transfer in someone like rooney/rvp/bony. I would keep Austin, cause he has good fixtures after his ban and next weeks fixture isnt great anyway qpr havent won away from home all season.
Aguero to Benteke.
Will Man City play a two striker formation with dzeko and jovetic or 1 striker formation with rotation between the two
Pretty sure nobody here knows the answer.
hold on, let me call manuel 😉
Looking at -4 to bring in 3x city this week. Feel I can cover the -4 due to Sterling (manu) and Dummett's (arse) fixtures. Or make one of the trades next week?
Kun, sterling, dummett --> jovetic, yaya, zaba.
Wouldn't surprise me if Sterling scores against Man Utd, it's not like they have the tightest defence and he's been unlucky recently.
So you'd reccommend just Zaba and Jove in and wait on Yaya? Would save me -4
A) Hazard SIGGY Sanchez Downing
Costa RONNEY BENTEKE
OR
B) Hazard YAYA Sanchez Downing
Costa BONY AUSTIN
I can get both for freeMy front 8 at the moment:
Hazard Siggy Sanchez Downing Boyd
Costa Aguero Austin
I have the same front eight, and was also thinking B.
B
Well , I have B and Siggy ( once Downing in this week or next ) so B it is
And Costa coming in this week
B
B with Benteke instead of Bony
Thanks guys, I was thinking B myself. I will just wait for news on Aguero and do that then 😉
both ronnies? they always were better in tandem :p
Worth keeping Austin & play Boyd instead?
Yes. Read the article... Boyd (c)? 😉
Not a member. 😐
I did saw highlights & he looked quite threatening but against Saints, though? I may have to start Clyne 'cause of bloody Chambers so not sure about Boyd.Basically he took a lot of shots including hitting the post. He may end up with 2 points but your Austin replacement might too, and then you'll be a transfer down and without QPR's main man for his juicy fixtures 😉
Convinced, Innsie. Cheers. 🙂
juicy? austin has swansea/arsenal in his next 4..
Home fixtures!
if u have the ft, i think austin > tekkers/dzeko/bony is the way to go. I'm going dzeko
He plays Swansea at home who conceded 2 goals to Andy feckin Carroll. And Arsenal just conceded 3 to Stoke... Anyway, I'm not expecting him to score every week, but at his price he is a great option.
no love for andy carroll?
Austin is good value but I don't fancy playing him during away games. If you can get 8 attackers he rotates nicely with Sigurdsson.
True that so missing against Everton away isn't the worst thing in the world!
yes, boyd hit the post v qpr and took lots of shots...and of course he scored last home game...austin is very consistent, great value
Agree, AR. Wish he had bit easier fixture, though.
Doing the same. All hail Boydinho!
He's full of confidence! 🙂
Need and Aguero replacement and Costa is a non-option as I have maxed out on Chelsea 🙁
So quick poll...
A) Rooney
B) Benteke
C) Lukaku
Cheers lads!C right now but wait and see how tomorrow pans out
A or C for me, if Rooney & United show poor form tonight then LOlaku
Out of those 3, A
B by a mile.
A if he's fit and keeps scoring. If not, perhaps C.
B
D) Dzeko
lads i need some serious help, would appreciate any thoughts.
2FTs, what to do with them?
Krelliot**
Baines, Naylor, Bartley, Wisdom, Yun
Fab*, Sanchez, Haz, Siggy, Boyd
Aguero*, Austin*, Costa
I think aguero > rooney is locked, so its a matter of who to get rid of out of fab/austin, and to who? austin > dzeko?id keep fabregas and austin...sort out the gk situation though if elliot isn't fit
ye krul > panti is going to be done, which is essentially a -2 hit only
Morning DZers, interesting week coming up.
Morning TM. Indeed. And what a GW it was.
Morning TM 🙂
Afternoon TM.
ACON starts on the 17th Jan, but do we know when Yaya will actually leave for this?
Very likely to be after GW20.
Ok sweet.
Mark mentioned earlier that it could be on the 10th. I've no idea.
Ok cheers. Everything seems to be pointing towards me needing to use my WC early.
Me too. Especially if I get yaya this time.
How's this for next week?
Foster
Baines - Terry - Hutton - Yun
Yaya Toure - Sanchez - Hazard- Siggy
Rooney - Benteke
(Heaton - Brady - Dummet - Austin)Yuninho.. What's that you've been smoking?
Like that front 8. Benching headache nonetheless.I don't know who to play between Brady/Yun/Dummet.. All facing a likely 1/2 points
Yep, perhaps him since in MNF. Might edge you a little in the end.
a bit costa-less but sound
I think I'm moderately happy without Costa after the Hull game
i brought in yaya and rooney last night for cesc and kun so we clearly agree on that 😀
just hoping yaya can get past LEI without the yellow
Guzan
Azpi, Ivan, Hutton (Wisdom, Duff)
Sanchez, Downing, Siggy, Haz (Albrighton)
Kun, Bony, Austin
This week - Kun & Ivan > Costa & Zabaleta
Next week - Siggy > Yaya
Sound planning?Just Kun ➡ Costa.
Bringing costa in gives me four chelsea players. Need to lose one defender
Did Fabregas and Aguero out last night for Yaya and Rooney. Yaya's 4 YC a worry but hes suspended midweek so i took the plunge
need more captaincy options - both yaya and rooney offer that imo .
Yes, I'm considering bojan 😳
Not a bad shout, tbh
Yeah but after that early season bandwagon flop it feels wrong.
Considering:
Aguero+Boyd -> Bojan+Yaya
fixtures aren't great but he has played really well against united, pool and arsenal so you could say he is fixture proof 😉
I wouldn't start him every week, probably roll out the 3-5-2 at times. Would be him, Downing or Austin for the bench. Or maybe Sig with a terrible fix
Welcome to Bojan show, I am getting him too 😛
Who do you prefer? Benteke or Costa?
still Costa
tekkers can only be compared with the likes of dzeko/bony, etc. costa over him anyway
anyday*
Costaaaa
Costa
I was actually planning to sell Costa after the home game, he just isn't looking involved in the majority of Chelsea attacks and isn't getting many (good) shots away. Aguero's injury ruined that plan though...
I think I still prefer Costa over Benteke though.i think captaincy options with aguero gone are going to be pivotal - rooney despite his withdrawn role seems to get in on the points in home games - which is why i chose him over benteke. can deal with yaya missing one game too, think fabs needed to go long term
Was going to sell Costa until Kun happened
Would say Costa between the 2.Thanks guys. Thoughts much appreciated,as always. 🙂
Well it's hardly like-for-like
Which one is Best
A. Aguero, Henderson, Chambers > Bony/Dzeko/Jovetic/Giroud/Benteke/Lambert, Yaya, Naylor -4
B. Aguero, Henderson, Chambers > Rooney/Falcao, Eriksen/Oscar/Ramsey, Naylor -4Sigurdsson or Downing to Yaya? Or should I just get Dzeko instead?
Neither.
dzeko perhaps..
This. by a mile.
Go with all 3 in a rotating 8 forward group
That's what I'm thinking. I'll probably get Dzeko tbh
He's a bit of a headache though with rotation. Not a bad option though if he starts in midweek though... one to watch!
Dzeko is the only striker they have. How on earth is he at risk of rotation?
My issue too. I refuse to sell either of them
@Nabil, you've got mail 🙂
All right bud, gimme a minute 😉
Benteke or Giru or Dzeko or Sakho or Carroll or Bony or Bojan or Kane ?
dzeko
😯
Bony imo
Best non-Chelsea defender to get in? Money is not an issue
Baines
for some reason when someone says defender i never think baines, hes a mf in my eyes 😀
that being said, mirallas is stealing a lot of his thunderPossibly out of form + Mirallas in the side?
A penalty taking defender who plays high up the pitch and has great fixtures?
Soton away/Stoke/N'Castle away are great fixtures?
Show me a defender with more potential then.
Zabaleta or Creswell?
Kompany if fit
Baines or Creswell
When should di maria be back?
Next week
With Naylor, Siggy and Bony. Am I putting too much eggs in the Welsh basket?
Perhaps.
nope, all three are very good for their price
Hey guys, just wondering who you'd transfer in for Augero this game week?
A) Bony
B) Carroll
C) Benteke
D) Rooney
Cheers 🙂D
Thanks!
A or D depending on tomorrow.
D
Lukaku
D - you can captain rooney for a home game
B 😆
DHey - this might be the start of a run!
What's the news on Aguero?
reportedly out for a month
Why no one is considering Ings?
Any News on Aguero?
Out for the year
reportedly out for a month
Thanks Both!
Thinking..
Aguero + Oscar (Have Haz) --> Benteke + YayaNot bad, not bad.
Thanks!
Whatcha reckon chaps?
A) Krul -> Foster
B) Krul & Kun -> Hart & Rooney/Lukaku (4 points)
C) Chambers & Kun -> Baines & Rooney/Lukaku (4 points)
D) Krul, Chambers & Kun -> Hart, Baines & Lukaku (8 points)
Elliot
Terry, Wisdom, Hutton
Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Eriksen, Downing
Costa, Kane
Krul, Yun, Chambers, Kun
Bank 0.6m, 1 freebie
Option B
A to Guzan.
diudnt see Kun there. B with Guzan and wait on the striker decision.
Next week someone to Baines.Cheers - thoughts on the below? I think it's A or B, with A edging it
Hmm, interesting situation given your 5 in midfield. If you're not too worried with Kun's price drops, you could save yea. no hits would be a great start to the week for one.
Costa/Haz(c) i presume?That's what I'm thinking - I think most people will be taking a hit this week.
Costa, Haz or Sanchez for the armband most likely - heart says Sanchez, head says CostaYeah, i guess there's a reason why i went with A instinctively. It's a good enough 11.
I would still go for Guzan over Foster. They will probably score more or less the same over the next few weeks. But the way I see it, Hutton has higher ownership in my ML, most will benefit from Hutton's CS anyway so having Hutton isn't a benefit. But doubling up ensures I still benefit whenever Hutton gets a CS. If your ML has more Wisdom owners, then Foster.
If the above logic makes sense... 😆
Newcastle a bit of a bogey team though...but there will be goals. Good shout Sanchez. Overlooked him.
well you need a gk first off. and no point carrying aguero as well. So I would say B with Rooney
Cheers - was wondering whether replacing Kun could wait a week given I can get a reasonable 11 out this week with just a keeper change.
Kane + 4 probably edges any striker this week, right?
Bit of an odd question but on the old comment system here on the site you were able to see how many comments and replies you had posted. Is that feature still here?
No
Shame
Glad I'll manage to get a green arrow for this week given all the red cards.. The template has been broken and if I can get my transfers right this week I could easily sneak into the top 10k..
Because Boyd is only 4.5 & he had 5 Goal Attempts in the last game! 😀
@ Nabil
😀 So Boyd is the one to get eh? My bad 😉
