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.
A) Hazard Yaya Sanchez Downing BOYD
Costa BONY Austin
OR
B) Hazard Yaya Sanchez Downing SIGGY
Costa SAKHO Austin
First option playing 3-4-3, second one benching one of Downing, Siggy, Sakho and AustinSecond option leaves me with 0.4 more ITB too
How sure are we Sakho will start going forward? If he is nailed I would go B.
Guys, do you remember the Power 5? Who are they?
I'm sure Fellaini was one of them...
I call it as BMW-MF
Bale, Mata, Walcott, Michu, Fellaini.Ah, the good times. Pretty justified to put 'em on the same line with a BMW 😉
Bale, Walcott, Mata, Michu, Fellaini
Mouth watering.
Yaya Sanchez Haz Siggy Downing - not even close 😆
Yaya - Sanchez - Haz - Cesc - ADM
....and then bench fodder for the rest of your team 😛
Downing says Hi.
I would personally prefer Downing over ADM but I went for the shock factor 😛
😀
ADM? Naahh lol
power six:
bale, walcott, michu, mata, fellaini
+
DEMBA BA 😎Definitely! That guy made it all possible 😀 😎
best Man city def?
Zabaleta
hart
Can't understand why so many are thinking to get Rooney or Costa if Kun is out , when for only 7.6m you can get the one and only Bobby Soldado!!!!!!!
*Loldado
Tempting
* thinks of some witty retorts, then goes to make lunch
Bobby Soldier.. don't let him pull the trigger.
Hi ! 🙂
Pantilimon
Jenkinson, Baines. Cahill,
Hazard, Sanchez, Wanyama, Siggy
Aguero, Costa, Austin
Green, Boyd, Wisdom, Moore
Aguero and Wanyma ---> Toure, Sakho or Caroll
Good or sth else ?:)Sakh it to me
Hutton has got 5 or more points 5 times this season.
I've got his good points once.
4 times he's been on my bench.
3 times of those he's been my first sub.
#middlefinger to all Boyd owners.ur team is too stronk
Also bad decisions, both my 50-50 last two gw's went wrong 🙁
Nice 10 point swing for playing Chambers.
If Yaya is ok after CL game, is Jedinak -> Yaya worth a hit? Or for another midfielder since Yaya has 4 yellows and will leave the team for a while? Already have Hazard, Sanchez and will have the cash for everyone after dropping Aguero for Carroll.
yaya not playing in CL
?
Suspended
Suspended.
Badly bruised after this GW - guess I'm not alone 🙂
To rectify sistuation, I'm thinking
Aguero + Siggy + Chambers -> Bony + Yaya + 5.0m def -8 pts
Is it worth a 8 point hit?
Siggy out looks unwise to me, especially for -4.
He hasn't been returning too many points lately though, and I have Downing as value mid. Even though Yaya wonæt present the same value, I'm pretty sure he'll outscore Siggy over Christmas.
Does it look to anyone else like Bony is looking the best Aguero replacement? I just think his stats and fixtures say goals goals goals
Yeah I'm probably getting him unless Rooney has a blinder.
No love for Lukaku or Benteke?
Benteke maybe. Not really feeling the Lukaku love, he's let me down so many times before.
Yeah, he's gonna troll us on MNF.
He's the best in that price range for me. Costa & Rooney if you can afford.
In a one for one swap, yes.
Some are effectively doing Aguero to Yaya, and then a cheap striker in for a cheap midfielder.Last week was the week to get in Bony 😀
Yes, also looking at Bony - already have Costa and Austin (thanks for saving me from absolutely disastrous GW, Charlie !)
I'm not sure what to take from this Doos, no obvious choice eh.
I will say some of bony's fixtures were tough there.
Hi, first post in ages so I apologise if the formatting is improper. Enjoying my best start to a season, reaching top 300, but team is currently in injury and suspension shambles.
Krul, Elliot
Clyne, Chambers, Yun, Hutton, Duff
Fab, Siggy, Sterling, Sanchez, Boyd
Aguero, Costa, Bony.
2 FT can get me to 4-3-3 with no keeper, or should I WC? Hesitant to WC this close to Jan. Any help appreciated. Cheerscongrats on good start
don't WC now
Aguero -> Rooney/Benteke/Sakho
Krul -> Hart
is enough
can sort out Chambers for -4 to Clichy/Zabs/Debuchy/Evans/Jones/Cresswell/Naylor if you want
How does this team look? Any changes needed?
Foster
Baines, Naylor, Ivanovic
Hazard, Sanchez, Yaya, Siggy, Boyd
Costa(c), Benteke
McCarthy, Moore, Saylor, Austin
Thanx in advance!
Anyone think Fabs has any hope with the appeal?
what is he appealing exactly? you can't appeal a yellow I'm pretty sure..
*Fabianski
ah haha
😛
so we've got Fabs, and then we've got Fabz, right ?
So who would you prefer right now out of Yaya and Rooney?
I guess it has to be Yaya because of fixtures?I prefer Yaya
- and form.
Yeah but if ManU had great fix I'd go for Rooney as a captain. As it is - I don't think I would captain Rooney in any games before GW20
Doos - You getting Yaya?
No. Only because I have had him for two game weeks. 😉
Oh I didn't even check!
😀
Still close Doos - I'm 7 points behind you 😉
roon
except 4 the 4 YCs & ACON, Yaya
No worries with ACON - Jan wildcard to sort that. but yes a yellow would be annoying.
Could this work....
Aguero, Fab, Marney => Sakho, Haza, Yaya (-8)
or just go easy and
Aguero, Fab => Rooney, Hazard (-4) and play Caulker/Marneyfirst option will get you the 4 points sooner than later
1st one IMO.
Thanks, starting to think so too.
Not happy for 8 pointer tough, after totally wasting transfers last two weeks with that Costa-Rooney-Costa circus.
If Kun is ruled out for a few weeks:
A)Kun > Bony (which gives me enough money for Tadic > Yaya)
B) Kun > Rooney
C) Kun > Lukaku (which gives me enough money for Tadic > Yaya)
B
A
Made tfrs before last night but I would have made them anyway.
Now I have Fabianski who will miss 1 game.
Is he worth taking a hit for? I have the money to change everything but no long term goalkeeper in mind.Daft. Just stick.
My thoughts entirely!
Not worth a hit imo, the new keeper would have to get 4+ points AND be a better option in the long run to justify it
This. If Swansea had bad fixtures then yes it'd be a great excuse to change. In this case not many teams have better prospects til wildcard.
one thing for sure is he will outscore his latest GW haul of minus 2 😀
Aguero, Fab, Austin, Chambers > ??????????
2 FT 0.2 ITB
a. Who should be transfer out ?Guys, who do you think is more likely to keep CS between
A) Debuchy (NEW)
B) O'shea (WHM)A

Hey guys. Like most of you, I have to make some changes. Thankfully, I have two freebies saved up. I have this team now:
Fabianski - Myhill
Chambers - Clyne - Wisdom - Hutton - Dummett
Fabregas - Hazard - Sanchez - Siggy - Boyd
Aguero - Costa - Kane.
If I spend two FTs, I can do the following:
Myhill to Alwnick to get a playing keeper while retaining Fabianski
Chambers to Azpi
Fabregas to Yaya
and Aguero to Rooney.
In my head, these all seem really good, but there might be some alternatives out htere I haven't though of. what would you do? Any advice is greatly appreciated.Obviously, I meant if I take two hits... Sorry.
tempting ! You don't want to wait for Kun's news ? he's definitely out ?
I'll probably wait til after Champions League, I can afford a 0.2 price change.
Guardians says he's out for at least a month.
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/dec/07/sergio-aguero-manchester-city-ligament-injury-roma-champions-league
Do you want a Newcastle player for Arsenal next week? Maybe Panty for net -.4 mil and 2 keepers forever.
The rest is sound but wait for a week with Azpi. You will save 4 points.
When do the AFCON players leave? (aka, yaya?)
Not until early January. It has no bearing whatsoever.
Fantastic, thanks Doos 🙂 especially when it's easy to swap out yaya for hazard or someone like that when necessary, it's the 4 yellows I should be wary about, but no point ignoring him for that fact.
Lets go Yaya 😀
Gw20
January WC will be there to sort it out. Don't worry
How about this?
Cesc & Kun out
Rooney & Yaya In
-4
Have hazard and Costa btwYes
Why not Dzeko?Because he is extremely frustrating to own
But there is lot of upside this time. 5 tasty fixtures and I feel if City go for 1 at the top Dzeko will get the nod ahead of Stefan
Standard transfers this week.
cant complain
Lukaku? 🙂
Yea think those make sense. Hopefully RVP Falcao Rooney all start tonight so we can have a look at the dynamics of the United attack.
Rooney or Dzeko ???
for GW 16 go for Dzeko
If you put it like that Rooney for sure.
Yes in both cases I'm getting Yoyo
Benteke
Already have 3 Villa
Guzan,Hutton,Given 🙁I bet ya never thought that would be a problem when you picked Given 😉 haha
I've only just realised I now have 3 Villa too! Crazy times!
Probably Rooney so.
By when is Aguero's price gonna drop??
And will Yaya's price rise?
I just wanna do the transfers before any of this happensnow that I've had a bit more time, starting to like Chambers + Aguero > Azpi or Zaba + Benteke for free and field the following
..........................Guzan
........Yun ᴰ Zaba/Azpi ᴰ Hutton ᴰ Baines
Hazard ᴹ Marney ᴹ Sanchez ᴹ Downing
....................Bony ᶠ Benteke
Gilks; Moore, Austin, Fabregas
just get rid of Moore with Jan WC I think..Not enough captaincy options IMO.
how do you figure? Haz home to Hull (especially there being no Fabs to create) and Sanchez home to Newcastle? Bony home to Spurs or Downing away to Sunderland at a stretch?
plus then the week after I will probably end up doing Baines > whoever I didn't get from Zaba/Azpi and have:
............................Guzan
...................Yun ᴰ Azpi ᴰ Zaba
Hazard ᴹ Fabregas ᴹ Sanchez ᴹ Downing
...............Bony ᶠ Benteke ᶠ Austin
Gilks; Marney, Hutton, Moore
all with over 6m itb
just messing around with options.
Would you be happy with something like this up to Jan Wild Card-
Foster Elliot
Clyne Any Chelsea defender Hutton NTaylor Yun
Sanchez Hazard Downing Yaya Boyd
Costa Rooney Austinyep
thanks
Surely. Just that i can't Siggy, despite that long list of 'Defenders" you have 😆
understand, dropping siggy will be hard
This for a -8 looks rash but even if they score more than 8 points between them it will be worth it as none of the 3 are playing anyway:
Kaboul->Terry
Fabregas-> Yaya
Aguero-> Rooney
Thoughts?if you cant field 11 its a good call
No I can't, I can field 10 with Wanyama.
Thanks
Lukaka is just going to put in a scintillating Europa performance, tempting managers to acquire him as an Aguero replacement...and then troll them on MNF, isn't he?
100%.
Or else he'll now troll me as I said he'd fail, so now he's going to explode, or else he'll double bluff me...
I just tend to stay clear of Lukaku in fpl.Haha I know what you mean. But he has this odd Medusa-like attraction. Can't be his dreads since they're gone...
Kun and Boyd > Ings and Yaya (-4)
Leaves me
Alexis//Haz//Yaya//Downing//Siggy
Costa//Ings//AustinLeaves you with a very strong and very template team 🙂
Way to go!
good and different
not many going for the Ings despite his run of formbut people told me not to do it and just do simple Kun -> Roo instead 🙁
I stand by that 😉
get rid of downing or Siggy and save Boyd.
Contemplating exact same moves, but Marney instead of Boyd. If I have Boyd, I'd think twice.
Ok one more question
Chelsea def or Mancity until Jan WC ??
p.s replacement for ChambersManC have better fixtures but a manager that rotates his defense players more
Anyone considering going 'light' up top? I'm thinking a forward line of Austin, Bony, Sakho could still hold its own and the funds could be used to great use elsewhere.
