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.
So Newcastle go to Old Trafford next.
Don't be too disheartened about RVP and Rooney's blanks this week....
Dummett(c)? 😉
Newcastle will definitely be looking to shut up shop at Old Trafford.
Expect a 1-0 or even a 0-0.Did you see their defending for the AJ goal?
It was horrible!
Just think their performance this week was so so poor and this result will affect morale
Sunderland are a better team though
You think that villa are a better defensive unit than Newcastle?
No, I think LVG will sort em out though and 1 will get a couple in a 2-0 win though.
I'm not, more disheartened about there potential backlash as a toon fan. The points will be a healing salve to my boxing day pain.
It's where Rooney will play that concerns me.
Think it will be tight enough
Newcastle could even sneak a win
Nobody has mentioned Tiote being suspended....
I suppose the Geordie's have a better chance of finishing with 11 then at least.
I suspect sanchez will be rested for the QPR game
He looked shattered today
I can see that happening with two games coming up quickly. Plus he is used to a winter break.
Yep
Half the planet could be eradicated by ebola and that TY guy from ArsenalFanTV would still find positives in it.
😆
Did you see the Clause video? "Christmas is ruined!!" 😆Haha I feel bad for the guy honestly. Apparently he sits in the back with TY on the bus to away games. I think anyone would be broken at this point.
They are both loons. Great entertainment! 😀
If you can't find positives in half the planet's population being wiped out, you can't find positives in anything.
Well.. yeh, this actually! 😀
I'm sure we'd struggle on with 4 billion.
Is it time to sell Sanchez?
good god no.
Of course not
No
The burning question.
you might be on to something
Or on something.
Ha ha!
Yes
before QPR is madness, rest talk is only speculation.
No - it was two weeks ago, now.
At first this seems like a stupid comment but with giroud fit he is still playing very wide but has still returned 9,5,9 and 2 in the last month... I would still hold mate
Yes. He had one blank in a row now. Gotta go.
Who you guys think will play next game. Kolarov or Clichy. Hard to say, I know. But will Kolarov be the obvious candidate with his attacking style?
probably clichy
Clichy is my bet if fit
I think the next 3 will be Clichy, Kolarov Clichy.
I'd expect Kolarov to start two of the next three.
you'll be disappointed if an owner
Why bother? Did you see Zabaleta? He's more in the box than Ivan!
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/1026/
Apparently not. 😕Not a member 🙁
Zabaleta the best option then? No risk for a rest? I love Kolarov though. Have Clichy but want some safe Man City cover over the festives.
You know becoming a regular on here when you ain't been on all day and you refresh page and you know what the latest article is gonna be , this one is my favourite by far , AdM is looking tasty im going to start planning to allocate him asap
Guzan, Gilks
Baines, Azpi, Clichy, Clyne, Wisdom
Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy, Downing, Boyd
RVP, Costa, Austin
1FT, 0itb
Baines & Siggy -> Vergini & Silva? (-4)Concerned about clichy rotation?
Should be.
A bit, but couldn't afford Zab and knew rotation would be a risk. When Clichy plays he often gets bonus.
Is the proposed -4 with it?*worth
Not for me mate
Is ADM likely to start next GW, boxing day?
yes
Giroud, Silva or Falcao captain for GW18?
Currently have 2 FT
Guzan (McCarthy)
Baines dummett yun Hutton wisdom
Sanchez hazard yaya downing Boyd
Costa lukaku bony
Thinking
Lukaku -> Kane
Yun -> zaba
Good idea?
Seems logical
Finally cracked the top 50k for the first time this season, I've taken my time!!
Thanks Mr. TilimonHuzzah! or Hazard!
Take your pic.
Is Bony > Giroud stupid?
I know Swans are at home but Arsenal have an easier fixture and Bony leaves soon.I'm contemplating it.....
I think it's a great shout. I reckon sanchez could be rested and giroud is a great differential cpt option this week.
Is
Eriksen to Silva
&
Bony to Giroud
a good move??
Jerky
Very jerky. Do you have any other issues to sort and is it free?
Eriksen switch is a week too soon.
Considering Bony > Giroud myself...
bony to giroud looks sound as bony is off anyway soon...
Of where?
African Cup of Nations
Johnson screwed alot of us today 😉
Yep lost me 5 pts
He get's me every season atm.
Sure did, stole one of Panti's ba
ps
possibly worst game week ever... with bego and fabs to go. 22 points. thanking god for downing.
Jeez. 🙁
You're a breath of fresh air posting your poor gw 🙂 Chin up next gw will be better
Agreed , fair play Jagsmash, good luck next week , it will even out , swings and roundabouts. ..
Ouch. Very tough luck.
No luck, we've all been there - too many times in my case.:)
after 5 green arrows in a row... now the key is to not get all knee jerky.
just did bego --> pants
pant (krul)
davies jags chambers (pocognoli hutton)
eriksen downing fabs sanchez (jediknight)
lukaku bony rvp
will leave the c on rvp.
can wait a week to board the austin train for flukaku
Any need for a transfer here?
Pantilimon
Baines Zaba Terry (Hutton Yun)
Hazard(c) Yaya Sanchez Siggy (Boyd)
Bony Sakho Austin
2.1 in the bank.. 1FT. Any suggestions?Sig to silva seems popular
0.3 out for that. Might go Sterling though..
Siggy to insert Liverpool player here.
Silva and O'Shea in for Mirallas and Azpi for free? (0.3 ITB)
I prefer the latter.
Didn't Yaya score twice at the Hawthorns a season or 2 ago?
Is it worth taking a 4 point hit to swap Mata (who may not start) for Sterling (now playing striker)?
Absolutely not for me mate
Not sure what to do with Mata then, would you start Barkley over him?
What the rest of your team?
My midfield is: Mata, Barkley, Siggy, Fabregas, Nasri
Strikers: Kane, Lukaku, CostaTry to get sig out pending injury news perhaps?
Yea tempting, I just can't tell what is going to happen with Mata. He was perfect whilst Di Maria was out but now...
One freebie left, use FT to Eriksen or save?
Guzan,
Azpi, Baines, Naylor
Sanchez, Siggy, Hazard (C), Yaya
Kane, Costa, Austin
----------------------------------------------
McCarthy, Downing, Wisdom, Duff
Thanks!Strong bench... I would probably make that trade although eriksen has trolled me in the past
from siggy?
I would be tempted, but probably wouldn't.Yeah it'd be Siggy, I'm worried with no United coverage and Arsenal look good too. Hold it out?
I've a strong lead in my ML
I have very similar team and just had the same thoughts.
conclusion I also have Kane and that is enough Spurs risk for me...so i did Wisdom --> Zaba to get some additional Man City exposure when their next four games look great.
Morining gents
Went To see Ronaldo and Real Madrid in the final of the Mundialito, couldn't see saturday's games:
I want to know if Rooney was playing very deep again.
and
Nasri worth keeping or not ?
Very Deep
Arsenal had the lowest possession (35%) and faced the most shots (27) since Opta started in 2003.
We were lucky to get a point apparently.I'm a Liverpool fan, but I don't think we were that good.
We turned like tanks and took too long to pass forward.
Plenty of shots on target.
Our final ball was terrible
Those stats aren't fair I don't think. We were chasing the game and we took a lot of shots from improbable places - and we had a lot of possession without creating much in the first half
The reverse Happens to arsenal everyweek
Liverpool deserved 3 points and to be fair, if Sturridge played, the game would have been over within 30 minutes. That being said, both teams were there for the taking in the final 20 minutes
We would have wiped ManU out too. Pity.
Sturridge massive miss. Not an excuse though, spent over 100m
We were dreadful. Coudn't string two passes together, couldn't hold the ball up, awful defending, especially from Flamini.
Spineless team.
Anyone here won a monthly prize. I'm 13pts of the lead this month.
on what?
FPL.
I have won loads of monthly's in the works league
Ok. Well done
Liverpool have to be happy with that result ay? Sterling may come into my team...
Happy drawing a game we dominated?
Football is more than that bro, surely we know that!
What about Drawing a game where you are a man down and goal down in the 96th minute?
I've 2 FT's, though my 11 for next wk looks OK, any advice. Guzan, Azpil (H) Baines (H) Chambers (H), Silva (A) Downing(A) Hazard (H) Sanchez (H), Costa (H) Kane (A) Bony (H).....Maybe Chambers > Zabeletta perhaps
1003 points 1042 rank
how many points ahead are you guys around 500th?Click my link, im around there
10 clicks on the FPL site will give you that answer. 😉
ahh ok
50 behind top 50
27 behind top 200
17 behind top 400
they all very catchable
Will bony and toure be available on 10th jan?
Yeah when are they expected to leave.
Yaya & Barkley or ADM & Sterling?
Now what do you think ?
I'm thinking ADM & Sterling. Is Balotelli ready for the next game?
Balotelli is never ready
wouldnt get any Lpool player yet
really?
Sterling for sure
If I buy Sterling and ADM for Yaya and Barkley I would have this team
Foster
Baines Azpi Clichy (Dummet Bartley)
ADM Sterling Sigg Hazard Eriksen
Costa Giroud (Kane)
Next round my move would be:
Giroud & Sigg -> Austin & Silva
With the fixtures in mind, would this be an alright move?
in times of rotation you need a strong and AVAILABLE bench
My worry at the moment is Bartley
what other DEF are available between 4.1 to 3.9 ?Yun?
duff and yun when they are not crocked. wisel....whatever the Leicster defender if he is still getting a game.
Same problem...
Slim pickings!
Crocked Duff, Saylor or Blackett.
I'm just keeping.
Watched pantimilion yesterday. To be honest i felt he was playing a little bit deep to be worthy of consideration
