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.
Do we have a realistic return date for ADM?
Any opinions on Ageuro and Chadli to Sterling and Costa?
Can't see anything I like better but happy to be told otherwise!
Bony and Yaya
Definitely an option, haven't had a look at their fixtures but the form is there.
Costa is good but Sterling?
A risk granted but I think Liverpool will come out of their rut and after Man U, and Arsenal the fixtures get really good.
I think Chadli will start to flourish again. I would choose Rooney because of game time. Who are your other midfield players? I ask this because the profit could be used to change a budget midfielder due to rotation risks over the busy period.
How long to I hold on to him to find out though?
Rest of midfield is Siggy, Eriksen, Oscar, Hazard so rotation isn't too serious a problem.I still feel changing Chadli is premature. However, 2 Spurs mids is excessive. If you take Rooney could you upgrade to Ya Ya?
No, 8.7 to spend on a forward if I upgrade to Yaya.
Can you afford if Eriksen went instead?
Nope, 0.4 short! Tight budget!
if you need Costa then I would rather go Eriksen iso Sterling. Pool is worse than Spurs atm. Otherwise Bony & Yaya first choice for me too
Oh just saw that you have Eriksen so pls ignore my suggestion
No worries, should have put it in my original question.
Thanks for the Bony, Yaya shout, something to think on.
They should rotate keepers too around Christmas
Mc Carthy. Some tantrums please
Thinking about 4 trades for -8, 1 trade in each position.
Elliot Krul
Yun Duff Baines Clyne Chester
Hazard Chadli Sánchez Albrighton Sigurdsson
Agüero Austin Bony
Aguero, Chadli, Duff(maybe) + Krul out
The hard part is making the 8 back in defence. No GK this week is a start & being able to bench Elliot in the future may get a CS to help. Forced to play Yun/Chester this week doesn't help & finding a defender who makes a better 3rd def in future will help.
Too much? Just a GK hit?
Thanks in advance. 🙂
Just do the GK hit.
agree
Costa/Rooney/Bony/Benteke/Sakho (your choice) & Hart/Panti (pick one)Cheers. The defender one is a bit vanity but could help with Xmas rotation. Duff could be back but don't expect much from him.
I'd just make the defensive transfer next week for free.
First decide on a Kun replacement.
I will try and limit it to a -4. Screw the keeper.Elliot may be useless(1,2's) for the rest of the year. Surely a 2nd keeper should make up the 4 given he gets an extra game to start off with?
Im just not sure about this week.
Citeh/Chelsea have the "big" fixtures this week. I would concentrate on them. Try and sort the keeper next week maybe?
But hey, by all means take a -8 if you can live with it.
Hart/Panty prob the pick of the bunchElliot should be back then. Just don't want to be stuck with little chance of a CS there.
I think you can live without taking the hit for Duff. Aguero and Krul have to go for sure imo. I'm also confused about whether to get rid of Chadli or not.
I would change the defender for the run up to and including the festive Season.
So -8? Don't expect much from my 3rd def for the rest of the year unless Yun does well at home.
Ah. Well, then - don't bother. I thought you would get somebody decent. I rotate all of mine.
Just the GK hit imo TM
Cheers all 🙂
GK favoured so far.
just the GK hit too
talk me out of Dzeko
I won't talk you out of it, but would suggest you wait for the champions league match to get an indicator of pellegrini's first choice squad.
Not as good a player as Bony or Benteke. Could be rotated with Jovetic or get subbed off at 60s. No form either.
Jove injured?
Pretty sure it isn't long term injury.
If he plays, I'd put a lot of money on him outscoring Bony or Benteke, simply because of his teammates and opposition.
The only issue for me is if he plays every game. How would they line up without him?Kun carried them. His teammates aren't very good atm. though I agree Silva coming back might help him.
seems fragile this year, got injured jogging last time around
Mangala, anyone? Seems like has edged Demi this season to partner the Skipper. Not a great defender by any means but a fantastic threat at set-pieces. Great fixtures for City. What do you say?
He seems to be a bit of a card magnet. Should've had a second consecutive red last game.
Good point. £6m isn't cheap either.
Not today, thank you. 🙂
I think he's too physical, even for the BPL. massive card magnet
I think Eto'o would like to get him in an alley outside of a bar after that kick in the back
Are you sure Mangala is preferred to Demichelis? Demichelis has played more minutes
He kicked the old man 👿
Theo, come back
no boyd, yes jedinak
is Boyd worth a -4 or should I just play with 10 players this week. He seems to have delivered when needed
No love for rvp? Managers favourite and if he rediscovers his form could be lethal
He would have to be, at that price!
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/939/Was scrolling for a while..
Indeed ...
ha. you just took off one of my options for a kun replacement 🙂
left with costa, dzeko and benteke...Sakho is better than Bentekke, imo.
I might end up with Austin/Benteke/Sakho
lolI have been looking at that with Lukaku for Bentekke.
Too much of a risk, where I am. ðŸ™..then I have even bigger risk...
😕
issues with game time?
Too expensive for my budget... looks like I'll have to go Rooney
He's cheaper the Kun..
I know but I have 2FT's and want to bring in Sanchez for Fabregas... couldn't afford Sanchez and RVP but I can get Sanchez and Rooney
need some advice for this
Guzan Given
Baines Dummet Wisdom Yun Wilson
Sanchez Haz Siggy Downing Marney
Kun Bony Austin
1 FT, 2.8m ITB
A. Marney + Kun > Yaya + Benteke (-4)
B. Kun + Wilson > Rooney/Costa + Azpi (-4)
C. Kun > Rooney/Costa
D. Other
any thoughts?
I think Aguero cried when he limped off because he suddenly remembered he had his next 5 matches against:-
(1)Leicester(A)
(2)Crystal palace(H)
(3)West brom(A)
(4)Burnley(H)
(5)Sunderland(H)
REAL PITY!!WE ARE NOT GONNA GET HIS SERVICES NOW.....COME BACK SOON KUN. ðŸ™Dzeko/Jovetic and Yaya are coming in
But as you know mate.."kun is kun"..no replacements!! :cry:.....but looking at the fixtures Yaya is not a bad choice either (now he even takes the penalties!!) 😀
why is costa not rising and even at some price sites on 0%?
is he protected for some reason?
Protected for 7 days after red flag removed
cheers
Would it be better to get rid of Duff (crocked) or Dummett (fixtures) first?
Duff
Physioroom have him back at the weekend though
I am not getting rid of Dummett. You go ahead, though ... 🙂
Yeah but I like the prospect of Dummy better. i may be wrong.
Long term definitely, next 3 I don't think so and with all these injuries thought I needed as many viable playing options as possible
Looks like you've convinced yourself to get rid of him before Duff. Yep, it's pretty close. Your call. 😉
one of them plays for burnley
But but but fixtures ðŸ™
could Southampton please have a bad run of form before my January WC
Well they've already got 1 point from their last 3 games
Can anyone find me a prem starting lineup that didn't include aguero or dzeko?
I'm wondering if he has actually started with neither of them?Actually I have just checked the history for this season.
Everytime Aguero has been injured, Dzeko has started.And more importantly, everytime dzeko has been dropped, Aguero has started...
He has never played with jovetic on his ownbut when Dzeko has started because Aguero has been injured, was Jovetic injured also?
AHHH my brain hurts 😆
Well in GWs 1-2 it was dzeko+jov
don’t think he did, Jove is not the lone striker kind of player imo
So could we say Dzeko is nailed on? Or is Pozo a factor?
i think he’s nailed and if he plays ~60 mins. in CL he’ll be my Aguero replacement
Similar thinking to me. Especially with those fixtures
I agree I don't see Jovetic getting played by himself
Is Pozo & Jovetic a possibility? I doubt it
So yeah I think Dzeko will play if fit 😛Saying that, in the last game Pozo came on for Aguero, leaving Dzeko benched.
We have to think that was simply because Dzeko wasn't fit.
Or cos he had the Roma game in mind?
Eto'o anyone? 😛
only if Lukaku gets injured
Wanted to do Chambers âž¡ O'shea but not sure about it after seeing Westham yesterday. Sakho could've easily had hat-trick!
I guess Chelsea & Everton have great chance for CS next GW. Who else?City? Waiting for news on Kompany
Don't like his price. Injury prone as well.
Well with the price comes secure game time (pending fitness)...
& I don't see how money is an issue, at least for me with getting rid of Aguero I could have 3m itb haha
Arsenal and Citeh ...
Arsenal up against inform Newcastle, Doos. You know the team who beat Chelsea for the 1st time this season.
- the one we thrashed a game or two back? 😉
Fair enough! Debuchy?
I have never liked him. Hoping to keep Chambers.
Southampton at Burnley have to have a chance.
Got Clyne already! 🙂
Erm - ManU v Liverpool 😆
Fabby**
Baines//Clyne//Naylor//Dawson**/Moore**
Haz//Alexis//Downing//Siggy//Boyd
Kun**/Austin**/Costa
1FT. Main priority Dawson and Kun? Live without a keeper next week?
Bring in Zab or the premium (over) priced Baines?
Not even considered my Aguero replacement yet....Both? 😎
Baines if just one.Hey, I'm not made of money. 😀
I'll keep chambers as its looks like McNairs days are numbered, with Callum not to far behind.Selling Aguero opens up so many options 🙂 After looking at your team, McNair to Baines looks perfect.
City fixtures look mighty appealing....
(Thanks by the way Innsie 🙂 )
Yeah I'm going to have a back 3 of Baines - Zab - Azpi 🙂 I still think Baines will outscore Zab over December due to set pieces and more security of starts, Everton's fixtures are pretty good too! No worries Evs.
Still Baines.
same here Evs.I may well sell Baines ...
... he is not troubling the scorers ...
Decent run of games though ?
Ditto City I suppose.I am eyeballing Ivanovic again ...
I have a similar dilemma see below. Baines was far from overpriced a few weeks back and it was killing me not owning him. I am still confused as to how much Mirallas effects his attacking potential
Mirallas kills everyone's returns except his own.
He did the same to Sir Leighton and Lukakakaaaa last season 😡
Thinking of ditching Baines to free up cash
Well I sold baines for azpi last week.
Admittedly I didn't anticipate an Aguero injury leaving me with a load o'moolaaah!I have Azpi....
Yeah I admittedly didn't answer your question sorry! Well... I guess I slightly prefer Baines over zaba, but I don't see him as the indispensable force he once seemed.
Depends on the use of the extra cash. You going for yaya?I don't think so, defence and Aguero needs sorting first.
Are you ?Probably not, but have no idea how to spend the cash. City's fixtures might justify Yaya but he is heavily overpriced IMO
Well Yaya is more valuable now then ever over the next month.
getting in the likes of yaya and aguero replacement means that selling baines becomes less a priority. Despite his diminishing returns he earns a few more weeks in my team
Baines is over priced until Everton players learn how to dive.
Thoughts on who is more important to own out of Baines or Chelsea D? Leaning towards Baines for explosive potential and no risk of rotation. Does Mirallas really impact his potential?
Seems to have as no returns since mirallas back. Plus he didn't seem to be on free kicks anymore either
thanks Mate yeah but could easily explode again. Who do you think is the least likely to be rotated in the Chelsea D?
Probably Terry? But I have Azpi as he seems to attract bonus points but am concerned after he was subbed against Newcastle for Luis
Yes so I'm gonna say Chelsea D.
Still Baines.
Yep, Mirallas is on some set pieces and also some source of goals from open play. But not the extend of not owning THE man to get from Everton.So better to have say Baines and downing rather than say Hutton and erikson?
Yep. otoh Baines + downing + Hutton combo is very easy to get
Well, since return from injury Baines hasn't looked great. I actually got talked around to buying azpi last week, having said I didn't see the need for a chelsea mid.
Of course he repaid me with a blank 😆Chelsea def*
Its a tough one I currently have Ivan but he isnt exactly lighting it up for 7.2. Im thinking wildcard so trying to suss out best premium defender. None of Chelsea or Man City are free of rotation risk as far as I know so Baines seems safe
Too my mini league and everyone below me has costa and Sanchez
So common sense would dictate I go fab/Aguero to costa/Sanchez this gws if Aguero is out long term
I currently have Rooney also and hazard
But why am I so tempted with yaya?Yaya definitely got more appealing now he is on pens
Yeah just concerned could back fire between now and January wildcard if Sanchez continues scoring... To be honest I would love Sanchez and yaya and not bother with costa as I don't think he is worth the £11m but I know everyone in my mini league will captain him this week and I already missed his hat trick
elliot > hart
aguero > rooney/dzeko/beneteke
worth -4?
Yes
yeah but 6.0 for a keeper is maybe a bit much
have no keepers atm ðŸ™
yes
Morning lads
Hey. Zlat.
Bye Zlat... Work beckons ðŸ™Zlut
ðŸ™
Actually Man City fixtures are pretty darn good, I'm edging towards Zab over leighton.
Would def rather have Baines
would appreciate some thought here.
Guzan Elliot
Baines JT Naylor Hutton Wisdom
Sanchez Fab Siggy Downing Marney
Kun Costa Austin
1 more FT, 1.1 itb
A. Kun -> Roo/ RVP/ Lukaku/Benteke
B. Marney -> Yaya & Kun -> 7.3. If I go
1. Ings - perfect rotation with Austin until GW22
2. Welbeck - should play a lot since more Arsenal players will get injured in no time
c. Anything else?
Sam Allardyce on Sakho:
“He [Andy Carroll] played up top with a front man and it didn’t work quite as well with Enner Valencia in the first half, but it did when young [Diafra] Sakho came on.”
Sakho also scored and hit the post twice after he came on. Seems to indicate Sakho has a good chance of starting the next few games...
Yaya or Costa ..?
both of them if you can find a way buddy.
otherwise Costa and hope Yaya chills a bit.
So many cheap strikers to replace kun, problem is the "balance" seems to be lost if you don't have one 10m+ striker up top.
😕Lol
Costa?
I guess. Not inspiring though.
yeah like to stick with at least one big dog
Problem is I don't have any WH and they are on fire.
I always wanted to own Sakho.
😕
Following worth a -4?
Krul, fab, aguero > panti, haz, Rooney?Oh yes. Looks sexy.
No Citeh cover?Could get yaya instead of haz.
Have Costa
Thoughts?I dunno. Costa stats are still up there, just not converting. I guess HULL(h) is as good as it gets.
I'm not keen on going back to Costa after selling him when he was susp.
Easily..You have 2fts? Lucky fecker
Yep but no need to sell Fab for Haz if you can field XI
Yes.
YES
