Mirallas -> Silva ?
Or save a FT ?
If Mirallas is injured, go for it
I'd do it.
Will Mirallas' injury depend on whether you keep Baines or not?
If he's out for a while, which is likely, I'll stick with him.If Mirallas' gone then yes, I'd think your transfer would be better served elsewhere this week.
I've other pressing issues so keeping him regardless of that news.
I'll keep him regardless. Will improve form when he's fully fit regardless of Mirallas.
I'll stick for now, Mirallas out will improve his output tenfold
Plus, have other priorities to straighten out & this is not a good GW for risky transfers imo
Westbrom defence has been fantastic away from home this season. Pool defence has been good at Anfield as well. Really can't decide between Sanchez & Austin for the armband. Who is the better pick do you all think? Reasoning would be much appreciated.
Rule of Thumb: When in doubt take the better player on the better team.
Sensible. Cheers.
or even just the most expensive player
I'd give it to Yaya if it wasn't the early game. I couldn't bare having a fail then spend the whole weekend grieving over it.
Pool defence is brutal, home and away, unfortunately. Marginally less brutal at home.
3 goals conceded at home in last 5... 2 were chelsea, and 1 was a penalty for a foul outside the box. Underlying stats are solid too.
As a Liverpool supporter of more than 37 years believe me when I say the defence is brutal. He needs a settled back 4 of 4 dogs who are organised, don't rely on offside trap, don't go near the halfway line unless they have cover in their spot and at set pieces can dabble in the dark arts while balancing watching man and ball.
Fantasy Football is about stats. Football is not. When you see a full back who cannot stand on his opponents side to show him his weaker option or a centre back who thinks he should mark a winger then you know what a poor defence is. Stats will never tell you this. Rogers still prefers defenders to play football rather than defend. His successor will not make the same mistake.Well I do think the team tightened up a bit at the back with Lucas in the team recently. Hard to tell if its due to fixtures or Lucas though.
I don't think offside trap or high-line is a problem, its just that the back 4 seem to be singing from a different hymn sheet.Fwiw i won't be getting a Liv defender myself, even though skrtel might be tempting due to fixtures
Sanchez (C) it is!
Not an easy choice but Austin imo.
1. Austin is the center of attack for QPR. Arsenal has Giroud, Cazorla.etc. Of course, this improves his assist potential but I would want my captain to be a better goal threat.
2. QPR plays at home.
3. There is massive pressure on BR to improve Liverpool.
That being said, I am going for Yaya(c), Austin(vc).Cheers all.
Right now i'm on austin c, toure vc...
qpr home games are CHAOS. every long ball to zamora causes havoc, and austin is sniffing around every one of the knock-downs, and has pens. Set pieces are also goalscoring chances with caulker and zamora knocking about for austin to feed off.all that said and i starting foster in goals i think...
What happened to the sure fallers Rick?
He did say it's based on FFF predictions. Not sure why you're pointing it out again.
Obviously it's not a great source then. Perhaps possible would have been better.
As ADN said I did specify that it was what FFF was saying. People can go there and check for themselves, but they'd get the exact same summary I gave.
It was just a question 🙂
Well I guess the right answer is that they didn't fall 😉
🙂
@TorresMagic, I noticed your discussion with Diva about posting stats, and I figure I'm one of the ones on your radar potentially posting too many stats that might be deemed "members only"...
I try to keep my posts as oriented around publicly-available stats as possible, for the most part focusing on fixtures, recent FPL scores, or generic stats like goals scored and conceded rather than anything that might be difficult to find elsewhere on the internet. Sometimes I think more detail is useful to start a good discussion, but I usually pull in info from other sources like whoscored, statto, or transfermarkt (among others) that has the same info as the members area in many cases (eg. shots per game, key passes, assists, etc).
Do let me know if I've transgressed any T&C's in any of my posts though, or if there's anything you'd like me to do differently going forwards 🙂Most people just report breaches. Obviously I can't say where you get your stats from but if they were linked in a way by a table or compared Costa's last 4 GWs to whatever over actual stats then they get away from stuff that members pay for. I don't use the stats enough to know what's in there so can't really report any myself unless it's a copy/paste job. Obvious Diva had too much content that looked members area based.
Fair enough, makes sense.
Thanks for keeping the site ticking over so smoothly. Very rarely do I see spammers or other crap posted and most people are courteous and stick to good discussing, so well done!
Coleman to Zaba/Demi/Kolarov or save FT?
I'd bring in Zaba , if its for a free.
Demi
Save the FT Sherlock, no rush for City coverage in the back imo
Coleman havent returned pts in last few weeks though 🙁
The City defense is a minefield right now for me, I'd give it one more week to see how things play out for them. When is doubt, save. Especially for probable low-scoring affairs like this GW. Many away fixtures, has low averages written all over it based on the template.
Stay safe mate, you'll be better with two trannie next week.
Perhaps a more obvious City contender may arise after the debris is cleared 😉
Krul -> Courtois
Kun -> Dzeko
But still a green , 20 k jump from 98k to 78 k
😀
From glum to plum !
A) clichy
B) zabaleta
zabaleta was rested this week so he seems nailed for comming weeks?Zaba. Kolarov will start this GW.
Morning. Posted similar to this yesterday and got loads of god responses, have edited the options in light of this-
Little advice needed
Foster/Elliot
Clyne/Zaba/ Hutton/Ntaylor/ Yun
Fabregs/Hazard/Siggy/Downing/ Sanchez
Costa/Bony/Austin
1M itb, 1 ft
- I have been meaning to get rid of Fab for weeks as i felt i was too involved wit Chelsea but other matters arose.
- I have no Man U and No city attack
- I have too much Swansea involvement
-Frustratingly 0.2 short of Siggy to Eriksen
1. Leave it
2. Fab to Di Mari if fit (prob next week)?
3. Fab to Silva
4. Fab to Yaya (would need to downgrade Clyne too -4)
5. Anything else?
My main priority is mini league (cash and bragging rights!) currently have a healthy lead so dont need to do anything drastic.
Going off the Yaya option and may have to roll without him
Thanks for any thoughtsThats a long post, sorry
Leave it. Fabregas+Hazard is better than Costa+Hazard/Fabregas.
He's got all 3.
My bad! Still wouldn't leave Fabregas!
I'd be tempted by 4.
If not, then save.I would far prefer Utd attacking assets to City atm. With no striker I can see them winning a lot of matches 1-0.
I think doubling up on the City defense is the way to goa la Spain style, you mean?
Imagine Fab in a false 9! Oh the wonders...
Fab to Silva
Thanks all for replies. May well hold and look at Di Maria. Thanks again
If ADM is confirmed fit then 2 seems alright
Thanks again all, this time of day on here rocks for good advice from reasonable people.
The same thing I said yesterday 😉
66 a bit shite including 8 point hit I take it
I had 55 with 8pt hit
martinez screwed me over had naismith om bench as thought he was Injured
You still have Naismith? 😯
never could get rid of him
Any changes necessary? Defence/bench lined up correctly?
Adrian
Zabaleta, B.Davies, Dummet
Hazard, Sanchez, Silva, Sigurdsson
Kane, Costa, Rooney
Yun, Naylor, Boyd 3.5itb 0ftGood to go 🙂
Ta
Mind taking a look, DZ?
Hart;
Baines, Naylor, Dummett;
Sanchez, Yaya (vc), Hazard, Downing;
Rooney, Austin (c), Kane.
Gilks, Siggy, Wisdom, Hutton*.
1.9 ITB.
What would you do with the spare money? (Next week)
A) Dummett > Azpi
B) Naylor > Terry/CahillB
Leaning that way. Cheers.
Dummett to Azpi. Azpi has already had his rest. Hull have scored 2 goals in the last 7 games so I would keep Naylor
Those are for next week.
Oh. Just noticed. Get Demi then.
Got Hart. Demi wasn't an option.
Sorry. Not focusing. 🙁
Now that you're focused, which option? 😉
Chelsea D would be nice.
Get Terry,he looks like the most nailed on of em allTerry is tempting. Cheers.
B with terry
Looks like I'll get him, then.
GW 17 & 20 are the only playable GW's for Dummet, ideally (til the Jan WC)
In between those GW's & Gw21, I would not be playing Toon defense IMO
Naylor has weeks 17,18 playable with likely CS's. 20 & 21 are up to interpretation (personal)
as Swans are playing against Austin's home record & Downing's away record respectively.
Based on that alone, Naylor has more mileage & more longevity/value in your team
Resounding A for me here.
(i.e ideally would want JT, but Azpi's well rested)Sound reasoning. Cheers.
Let's hope Azpi starts, then.Likely mate, already had his rest. (as did JT)
Headaches in abundance in the City defense though 😉Hart. 😎
Then you're set mate 😉
Give it a week if you have some serious City craving 😉
Transfer Dilemma!
What to do? 1 FT
Foster/(Gilks)
Baines/Dummett/Rangel/(Cameron)/(Hutton)
Hazard/Sanchez/Siggy/Downing/(Marney)
Costa/Lukaku/Bony
A) Lukaku ---> Anyone (Except RVP)
B) Cameron --> Demi/Zab/Chelsea defender (Bench Dummett)
C) Baines --> Demi/Zab/Chelsea defender
D) Otherkeep lukaku. he's as nailed-on as anyone for the christmas fixtures and has a knack for scoring against good teams too so fixtures aren't a problem. No one really stands out as a worthy replacement either, except perhaps kane or austin.
B looks best. Probably for Zab or Terry, though terry has poor fixtures. Get zaba!Do you think he will play the remaining fixtures until Jan now that he has had his rest?
This should answer your question best:
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/12/13/the-scoreboard-gameweek-16-saturday/?hc_page=34#hc_comment_9136059Cheers!
B looks good, im looking at Zab.
B with Zaba
Why bench Dummet? He has (SUN) this week, solid game to play.
D, save the FT. You have a good midfield, & a nice front three.
Defense if the only real worry for me here. Though your defense is very much playable this week, so stay put & keep a wandering eye over any good defenders that suit your fancy after the games are played
You're gonna be thankful for those 2 FT's after this w/e,It's a derby.
sakho to Austin and cpt? yea
Not for me. I'd prefer Sakho over Austin this GW. Westbrom have been solid defensively away from home. Sakho is up against Leicester.
Who to cpt then sakho sanchez erriksen hszard
Sanchez (C). Liverpool are a shambles at the back and I sense a high scoring game. 4-3 Arsenal.
lol, sakho has LEI.. 😉
sakho might not start was shite last game
Sakho was rated higher on whoscored with 4 key passes, 5 shots?
seems like a sideways move imo. unless you're really sure he won't start.
I just realised that Bony will leave in Jan for the African cup 😯 Everyone keeps whining about Yun/Sakho/Jedinak/Yaya leaving but I haven't seen any post's on Bony. Wonder who I will replace him with when the time comes...
sturridginho
I might replace him early - gw19 Benteke.
thats my costa replacement once rotation becomes an issue
that's the reason why Kane is better pick than Bony..2 slightly better fixtures , even though followed by 2 tougher one , but if you plan to get rid of Kane by then same goes to Bony who is even so due to 100% not playing..if any chance Kane does well you can even for one of those 2 tough games you can even keep him longer..
A - Austin
Marginally ahead of
B- ZabReply fail PPU
I kind of want to keep Lukaku as a differential. I have gone the WHOLE season without owning Naismith/Ulloa/Bojan/Austin etc
Fair enough, I like it when someone has a plan and they stick to it.
Cameron looks a good bet for the chop. The rest of your team looks very good.
Be great to get some opinions on what to do here. Need to sort out the defense but I'm nervous about having no City players. Willing to take a hit.
5M itb, 1 FT
Begovic Gilks
Baines Clyne Bertrand Wisdom Duff
Hazard Sanchez Siggy Downing Boyd
Costa Bony Kane
A - Siggy to Yaya
B - Begovic to De Gea
C - Bertrand to Terry/Zabs
D - Save
E - Any better optionsBoyd to Silva?
Clyne/Bertrand ---> Terry/Demichelis imo
Wisdom(A) vs Austin or Coloccini(H) vs SUN this Gameweek???
Colo
Colo, Colo Colo, Colo Colo, Colo Colo ccini!
Do you ever take a break from this? Seriously, everytime I pop in here, there you are
I take my breaks on thursday lunchtime, and sundays between the hours of 1am and 2am. Also when the full moon is out.
I hope the next full moon falls on you
That's not a very nice thing to say.
Does my presence on this forum bother you? Shall I leave?
He's a slightly less controversial Unreal
I've had that thought also
Care to share here Billy?
Unreal was a poster on here a couple of seasons ago, who is now banned...
He was on nearly 24/7 and had a habit of getting on the nerves of many other posters (I never had an issue with him, miss him on here actually)
Many similarities to Rickardinho, except that Rickardinho doesn't get on anyone's nerve much.Aha, thanks for that Billy 🙂
24/7 poster musta been a riot though back then eh?It was like he was permanently manic.
Wow, sad story, must had some serious social problems then.
Yaya, Yaya Yaya, Yaya Yaya, Yaya Yaya TOURE
Hopefully I'll be singing that this weekend.... that, or Kolo, Kolo Kolo,... after a Kolo goal vs Arsenal 😀
Kolo almost scored last season in the ARS fixture... http://m0.joe.ie/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Suarez2.gif 😀
Oh i miss those times... 4-0 vs everton and 5-1 vs arsenal seems light years away now ;(i already got yaya & for differential captained him last week..fail
Thanks. Colo it is for me..
U guys started a new conversation in the comment section.
Morning DZ, thoughts on this lot?
A) Dzeko -> Austin/Bony (benching Siggy)
B) Siggy -> Silva
C) Chambers -> Zaba (benching Wisdom)
D) Save
C) is the best in the RMT tool
Hart
Terry, Yun, Wisdom
Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Downing, Siggy
Costa, Kane
Elliot, Chambers, Hutton, Dzeko
Bank 3.4m, 1 freebieA with Austin
Even given the light defence?
Would have to start Wisdom and bench Siggy this week, and then start one of Downing (che) or Austin (ars) next week if going with A. I'm not sure the rotation I have favours Austin (even though he does have the platform to do well)
Could Debuchy be an option too? Although I'm biased, I'm one of those people still not sold on City defenders... Anyway A) isn't pressing if it means benching Siggy.
He's on my shopping list for the Jan WC but I think fixtures are a bit too stiff right now plus I don't trust our defence without Kos in it.
You're the first person to not say A, which is similar to my thinking. Siggy against a depleted out of form Hull could burn those who bench.
I'm thinking C (for those City fixtures) and then Dzeko -> Bony/Giroud/Lukaku/Benteke next week.
Decent plan?That sounds like a great plan.
I will probably end up waiting for Debuchy until Jan as well actually. And you're right City's next 4 looks irresistible haha. Good luck.
Has anyone seen the movie "Her" with Joaquin Phoenix? It won an Oscar for best original screenplay, but is it actually worth a watch? The trailer looks like a bit of a chick-flick...
Yeah, it's good. Interesting movie.
Cheers, will have a look. Got an 8.1 review on IMDB, with 5.4 points per game, so must be worth a hit.
Gravity won Oscar too 😡
wasn't that for graphics though? the sound and CGI's were pretty epic, though the storyline was incredibly mundane and predictable.
That movie was boring tbh 😀 Dont think any of the Oscar winning movies have been great, maybe one time watch. But thats just me... 😉
just looking at the list of oscar nominations from 2014....
american hustle was abit lame overall
captain phillips decent
dallas buyers club - mathew mc. was very very good. jared leto was also great.
gravity - boring, predictable, but cool graphics
philomena - really great plot, moving.
12 years a slave - definitely the best one, very good.
wolf of wallstreet - very entertaining
her - haven't seen
nebraska - haven't seen... any good?
prisoners is also really good, well made thriller.Didnt knew Prisoners was nominated. Nice movie!
Havent seen Dallas buyers and 12 slave a year, Nebraska is bit slow but good movie.Prisoners was only nominated in a smaller category but I included it anyways since it was really good
If you want some real cinematography, go watch 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'.
There's no one like Wes Anderson 😉 Not Michael Bay explosions, by any means, but it's a great film. Art in of itself.
Great film, that & Boyhood are my go-to's for 2014added to my list. thanks alot.
Quality film, has a nice lingering theme clinched on about our lack of personal & inter-personal development. Go see it for sure.
Though, granted it's not for everyone. Bit too much romance involved & one can't help but have schadenfreude for the Joaquin .Good stuff. Will go watch it now, have it recorded on sky. Hopefully UnderstandablyDistraught won't miss me too much if I go 😀
Let's hope not 😉
Is the best trade for this team Rooney to RVP. If not any other ideas with 2.8 in the bank
Guzan (McCarthy)
Taylor Zab Aspi (Wisdom Dummett)
Sanchez Hazard Fabregas Downing (Boyd)
Austin Rooney Bony
thanks guysyes imo
Not sure if you need Haz and Fab to be honest. Why not go Haz to YaYa?
Hi all,
Guzan, Gilks
Baines, Cahill, Wisdom, Clyne, Taylor
Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy, Downing, Marney
Costa, Giroud, Austin
1ft, 3.2m in account.
Save the best option here?If you're content with rolling with Guzan for the next few then save. Otherwise upgrade Gilks
Might be the week to upgrade Guza
Taylor to Zab
Save is the most sensible option but usually nobody wants to hear that 😛
when will we see the good ( baines ) days again ?
After Jan WC 😀
Attack wise may depend on miralles injury.
Defending wise Everton are not good, he has fewer clean sheets than Dummet, Chester or Poglocicni.!
Too expensive for me in a team that has very low chances of clean sheetsif only everton stop leaking after their winner
Captain:
a) Hazard
b) Sanchez
c) Yaya
d) Bony
e) Austin
???e
c
b
a/dE or B
Start Naylor or Chambers?
Naylor
Naylor imo
Naylor
hi mate.
I would go Naylor against toothless hull.As crap as Liverpool have been of late, they did look threatening against United, and with no Kos I think Sterling will cause us big problems this week.
So, Naylor for me.
Naylor.
I know Hazard's form on the road has been horrific, but is anyone considering him for the armband this week? Surely it has to change at one point and he's only a penalty away from a 10-11 point haul
Monday night football too
I'm not one to believe in things like that, but yes it would be good to watch your captain play after the rest of your team has performed well.
sanchez
I haven't considered him but after reading that I am now 🙂 was currently on Kane c and Austin vc ,don't know if it's true statistically but just off top of my head Stoke are pretty poor at home and seem to concede a lot of pens
Bertrand to Zaba/Demi/Mangala? Or save?
For a FT or a hit?
God, I'm being dumb. Clearly a FT.
If you have nothing pressing, then a City defender makes sense as they will probably give you more returns over the next few weeks.
Which City defender is better?
Predictions on Mirallas injury time ?
1 baines
2 azpi
3 clichy
4 dummet
top 3 for starting 11?
Tough one. I'm going to say the top 3 due to Newcastle's injuries at the moment.
Top 3.
Top 3.
baines away at soton
azpi away stoke
dummet home sunderland...
?
Nbnc dude
If you have Baines you don't generally bench him when he has his mojo (though whether he has that or not is open to debate right now). Dummett has colleagues injured and is about to play in a passionate Tyne-Wear derby.
Tyne Weir Derby man. Sunderland will up their game
Top 3 easily.
thanks brothers
Oh for sure, if I'm paying that much for my defense I'd be inclined to reap all the value I've invested
