QPR’s home hitman hogs the array of impressive numbers on show from the weekend, ably assisted by stellar showings from Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen. Elsewhere in our regular members’ statistical digest, we examine how Man City’s tactical tweaks influenced two of their key midfielders and analyse how a pair of returning United assets are hinting at major hauls as their minutes begin to build.
Should I give Boyd a run out this weekend at home to Liverpool or stick with Downing, who has a tough assignment away at Chelsea?
Downing.
This
Downing can wreck havoc regardless of who he's facing.
Never thought Id hear this ^
I'm benching Downing if Siggy is fit

Can't see him being risked against Arsenal and then a game two days later.
Link to pp cup for those still in there!

Tense wait for the team sheets tomorrow evening.
I have Terry + 4 points and my opponent has Azpi.Azpi will play, you should just make it .
I think I'm ok too,
Best a luck.He should do, an Azpi assist + 2 bonus would break my heart.
And to you.
I need a miracle tomorrow :(. Terry 15 pointer might not even do it
🙁
Luck of the cups. He has a 9k GW rank and Azpi, Hazard, and Costa left
I have those 3 too plus a (c) in there!
Me azpi +1pt
Him cahill + costa
Not looking good, though a costa blank and yc is not out the question
Who is the most nailed on City defender? xx
As in, least chance of being rested in the coming days.
May as well get rid of Yun
Hart.
hart
Mangala
Zaha.
🙂
He had his rest his attacking displays are essential to city with no strikers.
Lol just seen my typo!
😳I thought it was a cheeky comment to which I was trying to think of a humorous response. Zaba would be nice to have in my team, strongly considering it.
Did Chambers > Zaba (see my link above) and paid off nicely he may miss one but he's capable of outscoring other city def in 3 v 4 games just need to ditch Moore now, looks like Saylor for me he covers Hutton/Wisdom over the Xmas ( Azpi owner as well!)
I may wait until later in the week to make the change, if Siggy is out for Boxing Day I'll have to swap him out for Silva or somebody like that. I'll probably get Zaba if Siggy is fit.
Any idea who you're captaining on Friday? I'm thinking Hazard.Haz/Costa Sanchez looks an option too.
Guzan,
Azpi, Zabaleta, Baines,
Siggy, Sanchez (VC), Hazard (C), Downing,
Bony, Rooney, Austin
Any changes or what ? Want to bring in Cazorla (c) for a hit but hate taking hits1FT and £0.7 ITB 🙂 Starting to move towards top 10k (ranked 25k) , So I feel taking hits will slow my progress 🙁
QPR away is a good fixture but they haven't conceded more than two goals in like nine GWs or so. I don't expect Arsenal to score more than two goals. You practically have my same defense(looking to bring Zabaleta in right now for either Baines or Cresswell). I'm looking to bring in one between Cazorla and Silva as well....but i don't know.
You happy with Midfielder Wayne?
Team for week 18
Hart (Krul)
Clyne Hutton Lescott (Dummett & Moore)
Sanchez Hazard Yaya Sigurdsson (Downing)
Costa Kane Austin
£3.0m in bank.
Sigurdsson out for Silva -4?
Best def for 5.7 or under? Clichy?
Naylor
O'Shea
DebbieDebbie?
Yea the girl that plays for Arsenal, scored today @ 5,2 looks decent fixtures are mixed tho
Not a bad shout, tbf. Defence looks a bit leaky though hey.
Ill be getting him on jan wc fixtures improve then but he's a nice diff now too
Cheers.
Hope haz smashes it
His face??
Team for GW 18, thoughts?
Pantimilion
Azpi, Hutton, Bavies
Hazard, YYT, Sanchez, Mirallas
Costa, Kane, Giroud
Hamer, Saylor, Yun, Downing
Think I use my wildcard early and move to 3-5-2 until Aguero returns. There isn't much value in players like Rvp,Rooney,Costa,Lukaku etc.
Going to keep Costa cos I want atleast one reliable captain options.
Something like
Hazard-Sancez-Downing-Silva-Dimaria
Costa-Austin-Kane/Sakho
Some of us has already opted 5 big hitting mids. Would love to hear thoughts how has it worked so far.Im thinking along the same lines
Switch AdM to Fab and you have my front 7. 352 seems to be the way to go right now.
So you suggest to have Costa,Haz and Fab instead of spil the beans a little?
Nah, I'm just hanging on to Fab since I've had him from day 1 and he keeps delivering points (no big hauls though) consistently. Having AdM is probably better.
Evening ppl
What to do with Rooney!?
My front 3 are Costa, Austin & Roo
A, leave it and sort other pressing issues
B, Roo to Kane the upgrade Siggy to ADM with the funds
C, Roo to RVP to cover my ML rivals
Zero in the bank but I have 2 Free transfers, any advice appreciatedI like B
Have same strikers. Already knee jerked Silva in for Siggy and think I need to remove Rooney as well.
B. Looks best option imo or if you want to take a punt then G'ru.Cheers lads, Do u think ADM will start the 2 games in 2 days? Thats my only worry with B
will know man u line up before deadline gw19 , ko 12pm
Cheers Rhinos I didn't realise that
Think he will start but doubt he play 90 mins in both.
Yeah i reckon you are right, Are you tempted to leave Rooney for 1 more game, we will be sick if he gets a brace or Man u get a few Pens
Probably keep him one more week. Unless I decide to go Giroud (c)
B looks best to me.
Harry Kane reminds me of Peter Crouch... must be the crappy hairstyle and below par looks?
why you judging another mans looks?
I find Giroud attractive 🙂
😀
😯
He has beautiful hair
Homophoebic much??
🙄
Thinking the same thing Bemba.
That's its I'm selling him
Crouch is decent looking. Hes just tall.
His girl is even better looking 🙂
I'd love to disappoint her for 2 minutes
Ha ha! Love it.
LOL HAHAHAHAHA
If he scores against utd and chelsea he'll be looking lovely to me.
Injuries can be blessings in disguise
Forced me to get Kane & Pants inYep...I remember when Costa got injured and I got Jovetic in
Whats odds on costa anytime goal scorer?
probably same as odds for yellow/red card
was something like 1.90.
Is that good?
It is about 50% chance to score basically based on bookies odds.
9/10
yes imo.
Same odds for no baps.
If he scores two (which is due) he is pretty much guranteed bonus
+1
I certainly hope so after all those Yaya,Silva,Austin cappers.I've no idea of your team, but I'm guessing Costa(c)
Around the evens marker. To get a yellow or red card at 15/8 looks better though, I reckon.
what to do with this team?
Hart
Hutton - Azpi - Wisdom - Dummet - Yun
Sanzhes - Hazard - Downing - Siggy - Boyd
Rooney - Austin - Costa
1 ft
3-5 itb
A) Wisdom--> Zabaleta\ Demichelis
B) Boyd (4 yc) --> Lampard\ Milner (rotates well with siggy)
C) Siggy --> Silva\ ohers
D) Rooney --> Giroud\ RVP
E) Austin --> Giroud
F) Save
I know my defence is crap.. but dont know what i have to do first.. Toughts?
Do people on here expect Hutton to return next week? Surely 3 CBs last game against United was a tactical reshuffle that won't continue.
it was because he was suspended, he's coming back in
Doh my bad. Thanks. That was obvious. Don't know why I thought that was the gameweek before. ha
Maybe asked a hundred times before but..
How was Sanchez tonight? Did (c) him so yeah that didn't work out quite as hoped, but still thinking about giving him the armband for next week. But yeah, missed tonights game so not sure on performance.
He was pretty invisible, honestly. Cazorla stole the show imo
Hmm, thats concerning.. Will be a pretty big gamble with (c) for next week then
He was poor today,looked tired and lost the ball quite a few times
Is Tadic back to face Palace?
On 2 FTs, so I need to utilize at least one of them. Trouble is, I only have 0.2 in the bank, so it looks like upgrading Moore with only one transfer can't be done.
Any stand out issues in the team below?
Guzan - 4.0
Baines - Cahill - Wisdom - Naylor - Moore
Fabregas - Silva - Siggy - Downing - Sanchez
Costa - Austin - Bony(C)azorla is calling my name this week. He's been immense for Arsenal of late.
With giroud back hes no longer on pens.
He won't need a penalty to score against QPR
Just saying kinda lessens his appeal
cazorla cap callin me to. late KO too
You sure? Some were saying Caz was ahead of Giroud.
Im getting him in this week though will probably bottle it and captain sanchez. Id hate to be in a position where i need sanchez to do badly home to qpr because every point he scores moves me down the ranks despite having him
Hard to look past Sanchez this week
Not really, he was awful today.
God bless ya Vergini. 7 points out of nothing for Siggy not playing.
Are Swansea selling Bony in January?
No.
You mean, Are City buying Bony in January?
Lol
I was thinking more Liverpool than City
Ok so lets list the Jan WC Essentials. Here is mine:
Sanchez
Hazard
Austin
City DefSame as above but it consistently changes
ye ur right but the essentials don't change i don't think
No one is essential.
Foster
Zab , Ivan , Chambers
Boyd, Hazard , Sanchez , Eriksen , Oscar
Austin , Bony
Mannone , Carroll , wisdom, Caulker
3.9m in bank
Boyd > Sterling ?Ot could do Carroll > Giroud
Eriksen to silva or yaya
What gw does jan wc start???
21 I think
can be used after gw 20 starts
"The January Wildcard can only be used after Gameweek 20 starts (1 Jan 11:30) until Gameweek 23 ends (7 Feb 11:30)."
As soon as GW20 deadline has passed, I think.
So like FatherTed says, ready for GW21.
So I think I've settled on the christmas special....
Competition where people pick 3 punts (def-mid-fwd) all under 3% ownership and whoever gets the highest total score gets a 10 quid amazon voucher....
sound good?sounds interesting
Kolo Toure
Phillipe Coutinho
Steven Fletcherdo it on the article 2moz
Why don't you do something on punts of players that will play both games on 26th and 28th ?
Would love to see that, can see most teams only having 8 or 9 players each time.nhas been mentioned but doesn't really tie in with my usual article
So falcao has upset Rvps numbers, if only he we're fit and nailed....
RVP (C) again I guess, home to newcastle should be points galore
Man utd have had some lucky results recently remember the saints game. Totally outplayed. Man city better fixtures without a doubt. No man utd players for me.
Who is best captain for next games....Sanchez or giroud....I'm thinking giroud......Sanchez may even be rested....thoughts?
I'm thinking Costa or Haz.
Nasri and Baines to ADM and Mangala. Do I do these transfers or stick?
