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.
Who would you lose to upgrade to Yaya:
A) Siggy (had since start)
B) Downing
Flip a coin
Downing
A
Siggy.
Downing stats are really good.west ham looked good last night
b
i have exact same choice. probably downing for me, as got siggy for 6M
Neither tbh. Spent Sunday evening looking at my midfield and might go for a City defender [play 4-4-2] and I might get Dzeko.
But if you must, Siggy. WHU seem to be on form.
neither, keep both forget yaya too expensive and 4 yellow cards
Neither
Cheers all!
Well, what an aftermath! 3 reds, a suspension, and and an injury.
Going to the game tonight, going to monitor Rooney like a hawk, and probably put him in for Kun as was planning Sterling>ADM anyway... Might the do Hamer>Tremmel with 2nd FT to get 11 out assuming Moore gets another start?
----
Fit to play
Bertrand Moore Hutton
Boyd Siggy Sanchez Sterling
Kane Costa(c)
None players
Hamer, Fabianski, Chambers, Saylor, Fabregas, Kun!
2FT's
1.3m
Best replecment for Aguero?
A) Rooney
C) Lukaku
D) Dzeko
E) Benteke
F) Other striker
My current pecking order would be
Costa
Bony
Sakho
Dzeko
Rooney
BentekeI'm going Sakho to upgrade a cheapo mid to Toure
Not worried about a fifth yellow?
A E C D F
B)
FAECD
Which would you choose? The ones in [] are standard across them all.
A)
Yaya, Boyd, [Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy]
Costa, Kane, [Rooney]
0.7m ITB.
B)
Eriksen, Boyd, [Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy]
Costa, Austin, [Rooney]
2.3m ITB - Can do something about Eriksen or upgrade Boyd or upgrade defense.
C)
Yaya, Downing, [Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy]
Bony, Austin, [Rooney]
0.4m ITB - Allows me to rotate Siggy/Downing/Austin.
D)
Yaya, Eriksen, [Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy]
Dzeko, Kane, [Rooney]
0.1m ITB. Beast goddamn midfield. Could always reduce Eriksen to Downing and bring in Austin for Kane.
Thoughts?
Thanks a bunch guys!
c
Thanks! Just worried about the Swansea double up.
its only from now until ACON... not that long
Hadn't thought of it like that, thanks!
C makes the most appeal to me. Excellent mid and three good forwards. Benching issues are your main worry here.
Not too worried about that tbh. Playing the right fixtures should be worth it. Worst case I can not do Boyd - Downing and bring in Baines in defense.
D 2 -Yaya Downing Dzeko Austin
Or A with Sakho for Kane and less benching dilemma
Can't afforrd that by 0.1m. Would've mentioned it if I could have!
Thanks man! Torn between that and Bony.
Do we think rooney will play tonight? Have Aguero in my dads telegraph team and wondering if it's worth bringing in Wayne or pelle for tonight
Yea he will
I'll be very annoyed if he doesn't show up tonight. I might say something naughty.
I would go for c.
I'm assuming that was in reply to me? That's what I'm thinking too - just worried about doubling up on Swansea.
Any chance Burnley's Michael Duff could be back for next gw?
A) Siggy or Downing -> Yaya & Aguero -> Costa/Rooney (-4)
B) Play 3-5-2 by doing Boyd -> Yaya & Aguero -> Lukaku/Benteke (-4)
front 8 atm are Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy, Downing, Boyd, Aguero, Bony & Austinmaybe B
my concern with dropping Boyd to go 3-5-2 is questioning how likely you are to round trip back to someone in Boyd's price range to fund getting Aguero back into the team (by which time Boyd may be around 5.0)
How this team for nexf week lads after 2ft used?
Fabianski*
Naylor Dummett Clyne
Yaya Sanchez Hazard Siggy Boyd
Rooney Costa
Should I take a -4 to bring in Pants for my non playing keeper?Yes, I did and I would.
you made your changes already?
Must be still a lot of high ownership with those Soton def/players out there,
Really need Rooney to score !!
🙂
Forster penalty save please!
Yup! want Rooney to score a Brace and a DDG CS
Does anyone know when we can expect Silva back?
hopefully for the CL clash I guess
Against ROMA
Good to hear
Do we expect Di Maria to start next GW?
His hamstring injury didn't look too bad. He immediately slowed down and left the field of play.Yes I think he will be back
Could get a 20 min cameo though, as it's his first game back.
If you had
Fab - Haz - Sanchez - Siggy - Boyd
Costa - Aguero - Sakho
which would you do?
A) Aguero + Siggy > Rooney + Yaya
B) Aguero + Fab > Rooney + Yaya
C) Just swap out Aguero for Rooney
D) Neither (Please specify) 😀B
B

i'd keep aguero until the pope confirms he's out
I'm sure someone finds you funny. Keep plugging away. Don't forget to put something out for Santa.
I can get a full team if 11 out this week, but with 2FT I can do Kun & Chadli > yada & bony. Pull the trigger?
Yes, go for it.
Official news on Kun later today no? Best to wait IMO.
That said, those move look good. Personally, am stubbornly ignoring YayaWaiting it is then, I'm guessing Kun will be out for a long run, seeing him pull up it looks significantly like ligament damage. Hope it's it too bad though.
Looking at Benteke vs. Lukaku and upon comparing them using the comparison tool, I noticed that Benteke trumpts Lukaku for goal threat except for one aspect - shot accuracy.
Anyone seen him playing recently? Any signs of this improving? His current shot accuracy for this season is way below that of the previous two, so I imagine this should improve, making him the stand-out choice.Lukaku to get more bonus though (based on my rudimentary research of looking at their bonus history when scoring!)
he got 2 BPS last night despite getting an assist 😆 so many shots off target and offside calls.
But he was a constant menace. Should get better def.Maybe his bonus will improve when he starts hitting the target more. I recall Lukaku trolling me in previous seasons and Benteke is a beast when on form so I think I prefer him.
Bony is also tempting but I have SiggyIt should - just based on last night's performance, I would be happy to bring Benteke into my team. Villa players were always, always, always looking for Benteke when going forward or on counters. He was abit wasteful and offsides as usual, but as you said, should improve.
but Lukaku just has that odd attraction about him....plus QPR next :S
What a strange week, first punt on Austin with the armband who bags a goal and assist before being sent off. Just as I'm crying Aguero goes off early. Even though Austin was sent off he was still the highest scoring playing in my team and I rise 7k with only 38 points.
Nice! Wisdom the joint-highest scorer for my team... from the bench 😀
Any suggestions?
Should I wildcard or take a 12 point hit to do the following..
Fabianski, Cesc, Chadli & Aguero -> Pantilimon, Yaya, Hazard & Dzeko
(If I played my WC I'd make other small changes like Marney -> Boyd)..Chad,Aguero--->> Dzeko,Yaya/Haz , who would you play if you dont transfer out Cesc & Fabianski?
I'd have no keeper..
My 2 available subs are Marney & Yun!Do it.
What do you think?
Option A:
Chambers => Baines
Aguero => Rooney
Option B
Chadli => Sanchez/Toure
Aguero =>Benteke/Rooney
B) without doubt
B
Ignoring next week who is best option til start of ACN
1)fab 2)yayaYaya without Kun is awesomes
GW15: "The week RVP netted 6"
http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Dog-Waking-Up.gif
Should I take a -4 hit and field 9 players or take a -8 hit and field 10? The additional player would be a defender.
Had hoped to be able to fix other problems but seems I'm destined for this 4-point hit:
Aguero > Costa
Fabregas > Yaya
Thoughts? The other option is bench Fabregas and do Albrighton > Downing
Obertan + Aguero > Yaya + Sakho (-4)?
Would leave me with 2.6m ITB for defence upgrade next week and -
Guzan
Baines, Clyne, Wisdom
Yaya, Hazard, Sanchez, Downing, Siggy
Costa, Sakho
(Jakupovic)(Austin, Yun, S.Taylor)
Look below. Do it 😀
Snap 😆 Hopefully a case of great minds!
Thoughts about his move.
Augero -> Sakho
Boyd -> Yaya
Would give me:
Guzan
Baines-Terry-Taylor (Yun,Duff)
Hazard-Sanchez-Yaya-Downing-Siggy
Sakho-Costa (Austin)
1.0 itbThis WC team looks rather sexy ...
Pantillimon
Jagielka, Jenkinson,Clichy
Fabregas, Hazard, Mata, Yaya, Sanchez
Costa, Sakho
Subs - Elliot, Hutton, Yun, Wisdom, Ayozebit weak in midfield though
6 defenders
Can't count.
Ignore Wisdom
wow
genius
You have an extra defender though. Kolorov may rotate with Clichy. Mata not nailed and Ayoze may only get sub appearances though I know he is bench fodder
I like everything apart from the Mata bit. I'd rather have Rooney as Man Utd cover but this move will probably screw up your team.
Wise to swap Krulliot out if its for a hit?
Yes krulliet is dead, over. And possibly for a few weeks
Both GKs? So using 2 transfers?
Would only do 1 of them for a -4 (already used FT selling Kun)
Yes, from a Krulliot owner. Did it for free for this GW. Don't enjoy keeper transfers, but looks like a necessary evil given their fixtures...will probably get a string of 1/2 pointers. Went for Guzan myself over Foster. 3 points vs 6 but a handy price rise yesterday.
Seems that for me it boils down to :
A) Aguero + Marney -> Sakho + Yaya -4 pts
B) Aguero + Siggy -> Bony + Yaya - 4pts
C) Aguero -> Bony/Sakho/Lukaku/Rooney
which one would you prefer?A is similar to what I'm doing (Wanyma for Marney)
A for sure
Cheers guys, I think that is what I'll be looking at yes
Think this may be the decision that makes or breaks my season. Current rank 166.
Aguero > Rooney or Costa
I personally think over the xmas period Rooney is the better pick, can see Costa being rested/getting himself sent off.
Any thoughts?Costa. Very good rank bud 🙂 .
Cheers
I think both are excellent picks so got both
I'm trying to make the same decision. I'm going to watch the game tomorrow to see how Rooney is playing and performing in that team sans Di Maria.
Bringing in Costa seems a bit dull though as every man and his dog has him in their team...
Otherwise I'm thinking Carroll and maybe spending the change elsewhere.
I'm reluctant to get Costa in also, but really afraid by his ownership and what a good scoring GW from him can do to my rank.
So I guess if I don't have Costa he would be the best replacement for Kun, right? Could be a disaster for me if I don't pick a good replacement and Costa goes and scores a brace.
RMT PLEASE 🙂
Heaton
Baines-Ivanovic-Clyne
Sanchez-Siggy-Downing-Hazard
Aguero-Austin-Rooney
Bench-Myhill-Boyd-Dummet-Moore
0.0 ITB 2FT
Any Suggestions?Aguero -> Costa
Save other FT. December injury bug has only started and you'll be in better shape than 90% if you have 2FTs on the backside of next weekend.Cheers
