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.
guys oshea is on 3 yellows or 4?
4
Fingers crossed for laters Innsie, he owes us big time especially after overlooking a few prime candidates!
Yep feeling pretty nervous atm HVT. I'd take a single goal I think.
Me too, due a peno!
with 3 to go tonight a solid Chelsea win could see me with a nice green before Xmas, here's hoping!Yep same here! Good luck mate!
Talking Hazard captaining? Hope Stoke stay generous with their penalties.
Never mentioned his name PB 😉
I'm in this boat! Oscar & Costa to play too!
I'm aboard. Him (c), Costa and Ivanovic need to turn my gameweek around.
Every time I break into the 10k, I get booted straight back out.
Love how many Yaya to silva or Rooney to rvp transfers are being talked about, surely people have better things to spend their transfers on than these or are people's teams that good?
Teams are good 😉
I was about to post the Ya Ya Silva tfr. Is it not a sideways move? I can do the other also, but RVP is poor ATM.
Yes well Toure is on 4 yellow cards so grow a pair mate and have a critical eye. Idiot
Harsh
😆 go jump in front of a bus, douche.
People are ridiculously short sighted. If Demichelis scored this weekend, people would be swapping Zab or Clichy for him.
The non-knee jerk amongst us can see they're very sideways. Rooney to RVP less so, as Rooney is now affectively a midfielder, but people love chasing points ultimately.
What do you think about Krul to Pantilimon?
I have Foster...Sounds good, no other issues I assume?
Not so sure. Sunderland fixtures dry up after hull
Why are people getting Sterling?
Look at his fantasy scores for the last ten or so weeks, hes done nothing
Good fixtures and playing oop persuaded me.
Best left back in the country
I'm also thinking sterling.
Think fact great fixures and he playing through middle
...for 45 minutes. then a left wing back
People are overhypin the lwb bit. Doubt we ll see him play in that position much at all this season. That was a throw 3 strikers on panic change moment yesterday
Agree,much better performing options out there.
playing a false #9
He seems to be turning the corner.
OOP and awesome fixtures
He will explode at any moment.I'm just loling at the amount of optimism here in regards to Raheem, for me untill Liverpool get a striker to actually convert his efforts he's a no go zone.
Clichy + Baines --> Zaba + Terry/Azpi for free?
I already have Yaya, Haz and Costa..Clichy could start this week. So keep him. Baines to Terry/Azpi is ok
Same thought... Will do.. Thanks...
Yea looks good.
Thanks.. Clichy starting was a niggling doubt.. But will go ahead probably..
You knew what you bought, need a solid back 5 with him in there.
Should start next game tho.Actually it is pretty weak, with Wisdom, Hutton and Duff. Saved a transfer, purely to bolster defence before Boxing
Good moves. Do you have enough money to hold Baines another week and do something like Clichy->Azpi?
I am just missing both Azpi and Terry if I do that, by 0.1m.. Along with Baines, yes I stand a chance...
Best defender under 4.8 for Xmas period
Options
Oshea
Chester
Kolo tourea
Must admit on a but very tempted by toure with them fixures
have you seen liverpool play?
this
I'd be tempted to go on a Villa Defender SUN, CPL and lei after this week
Got Hutton don't fancy double up
villa defender maybe hutton/vlar?
A or C. C is exciting pick 😀
I know Liverpool arnt great at back.
But just fixures.I dont agree with 1st statement 🙂
So you're saying having Kolo is excitement.
😆Having a Liverpool or Man Utd defender is always exciting 😆
Toure double up is always good.
I probably should save or take the chance and sell moore?
Forster (mccarthy)
Zab azpi naylor chambers (moore)
Yaya alexis hazard (downing boyd)
Bony austin costa
1ft, 1.0.
I'd save mate
thanks, bench downing over austin?
Yeah gunners D has been leaky and he is in cracking form
Over Xmas rotations I would sell Moore when you have the 2fts though
See what happens with Azpi tonight, if he's benched again it may be worth swapping him out
yeah, tonight might impact obviously.. azpi being benched and/or injuries
Why not Costa/Kane Boyd/Silva for 4pt hit?
If Siggy isn't declared fit who to replace him with:
a) Silva
b) Di Maria
Have Yaya but no United coverage if that makes any difference (which it shouldn't really)a
Silva just edges it for me
I'd jump on Silva, don't trust Utd at the moment and next 3 fixtures are really good for City. Cazorla or Eriksen seem to be common on here too if you don't have those
Yeah, I'm leaning towards Silva based purely on fixtures. Have Sanchez and Kane which I think is sufficient Arsenal and Spurs coverage.
I am thinking of keeping this until Friday's games. Then Rooney and Siggy -----> Di Maria and Austin. Sound good?
-------------------------------Pants---------------------------
-----------------Baines - Clichy - Chambers---------
-------Sanchez - Hazard (C) - Yaya - Siggy------
---------------Rooney - Costa - Kane-------------------
Subs: Hutton - Boyd - WisdomADM or Silva maybe
Nice moves imo... Just not sure about Siggy this gw, any news on him?
I might transfer him out, but there are only a few options I can afford so not sure...
Zaba is owned by 5.6%
😯😎
and I am lucky to be one of those owners 🙂
me too
😎
me three 😎
Me four
😎
Wi Fi
me 5
me 4 B)
repost:
Siggy/Rooney/Chambers -> Bony/ Sterling/ Debuchy (-8)
Or wait with Chambers -> Debuchy?Chambers - Debuchy is not needed imo... Kos is not back and Chambers will play.
Tbh, I dont like Sterling, but I guess he could explode if he finds formHe got some really nice fixtures coming
I know that, but he´s just.. meeh
Rather siggy then sterling then? Or eriksen?
You reckon Marney -> Milner is the best way to use FT? Leaves 0.6 ITB and gets me:
Foster
Ivan Baines Naylor
Sanchez Haz(vc) Siggy Milner
Bony(c) Costa Austin
BENCH: Krul - Downing - Bertrand - Moore
Cheers and Merry Xmas everyone.Anyone ?
It could work really well but for the next few gws only mate
Nice team!
looks good. Milner > marney anyway
Worst game week ever for me, something like 21 points, with 3 Chelsea players to come in, so tempted to rip my team up but January WC is so close.
Baines owners, what's the verdict?Stay away from the WC... U will soon get one any way...
Im keeping Baines, not too happy about it.. but transfer him out when they play STO? Naah...Baines to Zabaleta looks obvious to me
Baines will play STO and new in the next 2.
Zab could play wba and bench... so not that obvious for me.He's done nothing for the last 6 weeks, against similar teams
i dumped him for zab
Very tempted
guzan
terry baines clyne chambers
sig haz sanchez erriksen
costa kane save ft?Yes 🙂
cheers sherlock over the austin episode now!
Get him after this week
Erriksen to sterling or save ft?
Baines -> Zabaleta seems like the most obvious move in the whole world atm.
Are people doing Yaya -> Silva? Haven't considered it yet. Surely risky, no?
I mean, it's Yaya. Come on.haven't seen many people do this move..they are considering a Silva--Yaya Double up!
What?
I regret choosing Yaya over Silva tbh, but no point in doing that sideway transfer now.
2 FTs Wisdom+dummett > saylor+Debuchy?
Other defenders are: Baines, Azpil and Yun
RMT:
1FT, 0,5M ITB

RICARDOAVFC
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?Yes get silva
Is there normal press conf before next round?
should be. just bring them all forward 24 hours i would think.
Thanks
Is Clark from Villa nailed on? He started even with Vlaar back. I like the lad and I think he has goals in him
Ok to save free transfer this week?
Pants
Azpi Baines Hutton
Hazard vc Sanchez Yaya Siggy
Costa Giroud (C).Austin
Alnwick Downing Wisdom Yun.Just keep it... Maybe consider Siggy - ? if he´s not fit.
Thanks mate even if he is out not sure what to do. Downing would come in. But could do -4 for one of Adm silva or sterling and downgrade Baines? Thoughts?
I hate taking hits these days, pretty much anyone could get rested... Baines wont get rested tho 😉
Better safe than sorry.Cheers blue
There a good place to get a summary of last night's risers and fallers?
TotalFPL was good for that but now seems to have given up.Kane up mirralas down
has sanchez run his course?
run of not many points
how did he look yesterday?
tired, i think he needs a rest
likely to be rested
9,5,9,2 isn't really a 'run of not many points' though...
lol, not sure how i missed he'd got those!
just seemed like he wasn't scoring many
lost... only effort is is went down easily to get the free kick that resulted in 1st goal
The FPL site doesn't work ?
does for me
On Mondays even they don't feel like working...its a general feeling for Bot/Human
Like many others on here I think of two possible transfers.
A. Baines > Zaba
B. Lukaku > Giroud
C. Save
I prefer B, but both moves could backfire. Everton is not on form, but then they are playing a "tired" Stoke team at home. What do you think? My weakness in this game is that I keep players far too long.wait why would stoke be tired?
Everton have two days more rest
B
Not A imo, Baines will play the next two games.. not so sure about Zabaleta tho... he could get rested vs BUR.
Giroud looks goodDidn't Zaba already have a rest the week before>?
Yes
but he is not a superman to play 3 games within 6-7 days periodSure, but he could just get another one on the bench... Play both 26th and 28th, naah.. I dont think so actually... Both Kolarov/Clichy and Zab/Sagna will rotate imo...
This is why I'm keeping Baines and anyway he has good fixtures.
Cheers! B it is then. Will keep Baines for now...
After watching back the city game was it just me or did anyone else notice that it wasn't Milner playing the False 9 it was in fact Zabaletta!
What a beast awesome performance had 2 attempts on goal and should have scored!Yup! all of us here during Dugout Discussion were saying this only...Zaba was the forward! in the first half
Suppose it's best kept to ourselves Moin!
How you doing in cup mate?Yeah!
I'm out this week...my stubbornness of Not getting Austin cost me...got Lukaku instead who scored an own goal and got me 0 points..my opponent had Austin 17 points for him..Ouch!
I should be ok I'm ahead with (c) Haz to play totalling 3 Che whereas he has 2 Chelsea.
Hope to get someone big next round!Ooh Nice!! Yup..next round will be more competitive...All the Best!! 🙂
Srsly? Who played in Zaba's place?
No one really, did you see his positioning?
I'm I ok to save transfer?
I have .4 in bank for Hutton in for Yun next week
Joe Hart
Azpi Ried Coleman
Yaya Sanchez hazard Siggy
Costa Kane Giroud
McCarthy Downing Saylor Yun
Lol@ that Zaba Ownership post.
Kolarov on 3.3% ownership 😎If Kolarov was nailed on..his ownership would've been 97.3%
will lol at you back when lolarov is on bench vs Wbrom
😎
If you could have any 3 defenders between now an Jan wildcard who would you jump on?
Other than City I'm not seeing any valueDoes panti count
Yeah, wherever you see clean sheets/bonus etc
Best defender for the next 2 games for 6.1 or less? Mangala?
he's the only one i don't see being rotated for the next 2 so I'd say yep
Demi is safer, no?
Yep agree
