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.
Who is playing up front for city?
Silva?
Milner
lol just sounds silly
Didn't Silva too? And Yaya the last 15 mins?
Zabeleta
Milner. But Silva's runs into the box seemed alot more frequent and arguebly he is in a better position to score that Milner.
Note to all those who are mouse-happy - hold off until after tonight.
Costa/Haz/Fabs/Def could snap their legs.
I wonder why you are England's coach really 😆
I won't be doing any transfers before I see who I'm facing in the fpl cup
Siggy > ?
A. Sterling
B. Eriksen
C. Mata
D. Someone else (and if so who)Already have Downing
Mata or Sterling for me.
Sterling is more solid pick with ADM coming back.
Eriksen by far. Mata is way too risky.
Cazorla
this
Silva, Yaya or Milner?
Hold for one game?
Willis is, perhaps surprisingly, right about Alexis. At the moment, he is pulling Arsenal down with him.
Theo in for Alexis would be a beautiful yet belated Xmas present
Aye. 🙂
Theo loves to score against us though 🙁
Hopefully he'll play QPR and be rested for our game 😉
You think he could be benched against QPR? Strongly considering short term move for Silva to double up on ManC midfield
Morning Doos,
Do you have a sweet table to show this? 🙂
Downing > Sterling for a hit is crazy right?
Yeah
It is madness for free ...
Absolutely no idea what to do with this team. Suggestions would be great.

Best Liverpool defender to get until the wc?
None?
But fixtures are sooooo good...
But they are soooooo bad!
This is soooo true 🙂
Played quite ok yesterday. Coutinho was good, bur him I would never buy. Sterling is temting, his pace is unreal
One who isnt playing 🙂
reported.
😆
No such number, no such name! Return to sender!
Ok ok - then city defender?
Zabaleta. But I am looking at Hart.
Cheers. Will he play all three?
Mmm. I really don't know. Sorry.
Cheers!
Its like asking what is the best STD to catch lol
Lol
Kolo or Skrtel
Škrtel
But I would stay far away from Liverpool defense and I'm a Liverpool fan.
McCarthy to Pants or save?
Other keeper is GuzanGood transfer if no other issues.
Panti is in amazing form and Sunderland defensively are doing well
ADM due back against Newc?
likely
Can anyone who watched the man city game give me an insight into how Nasri and Silva played? I've seen their stats aren't too dissimilar although obviously Silva got two goals. Is it worth using a free transfer to do Nasri to Silva or shall I just stick with Nasri?
I would switch to Silva for free
Nasri had a poor game. Silva and Toure both missed some good chances. Yaya looked quite poor up until his goal, Silva, although not outstanding, was pretty lively. I'd personally get in Silva out of all of them. I'm keeping hold of Toure til ACoN as he seems to nick goals even when not playing particularly well.
i thought yaya did ok
he had 5 shots, and almost set zaba up for another goalTotally agreed. And I think Nasri played good as well! However I would go for Silva from those two
when the cross from Kolovo came in, yaya was behind silva, so i think either would do jus fine
i was burnt by silva for four gw...hate it
Nasri was slightly better, Silva was the luckier one in FPL terms. Silva more advanced though.
Isn't Silva on pens assuming Kun, Yaya , Kolarov not on pitch? Considering there is a good chance those 3 wont be (injury, suspension / ACN, rotation respectively) plus I think Silva is better of 2 all round, I would take Silva every time.
tough, I would stick - Nasri wanted a goal but couldnt get the end product.
If Jovetic is back, it will probably reduce Silvas appeal but he is a very good player - shame you have nasri over him anywaySilva was making more runs into the box.
1FT and £1.0m in the bank. Thoughts plz lads?
Hart
Baines Chambers Wisdom
Hazard Fabregas Sanchez Siggy
Costa Bony Austin
Bench - Marney, Duff, YunDuff > O'Shea?
Duff or Yun to a Villa or Sunderland defender. Play said defender over Wisdom
Baines > Zaba
With a few good days rest until Boxing Day, do we not think that it's the games on 28th more likely to be affected by rotation?
yes and also new years
most def
Ok forgt Liverpool defenders - who is likely to play the next three in city defence?
Hart. Double with Zaba if you can 😉
zaba nailed on?
No but he's the best bet. Hart is the only one nailed on
this
Going by Pelle's usual way of managing this - I'd say that its unlikely any will play all 3. Matches on the 26th and the 1st may well have the same back line, but these may be a completely different back 4 to the 28th and the cup match. The only hope, I think, is that Kompany stays injured in which case one of the CBs might get a consistent run.
Downing or Siggy out for Maria?
None?
Siggy
You have better options than ADM atm but Siggy
1FT and 2.7M banked.
DDG
Clyne Clichy Hutton
Hazard(C) Sanchez Siggy Yaya
RVP Austin Sakho
Hamer Boyd Wisdom Yun
Thoughts please on the three options below..
1 - Sakho--->Kane/Benteke/Giroud
2 - Siggy--->Silva/Cazorla
3 - Yun--->OShea2 Silva
2
Need 14pts from Hazard and Costa to hit 100 for the gameweek. Trouble is many others have them as captain and with no Che defs it would mean a rank drop if they do it. First world problems eh? 😉
Super score
86!!!!
Jesus I'm on 35 with Terry, Fab and Costa (c)
Respec
congrats WR serous score
😯
Cheers, it looked a little better yesterday when I needed 16pts with Sanchez as well
Morning all, landed into work thinking I had Austin captain all weekend and when I check my team its on Bony..!! OUCH..
On the positive side I've had 4 green arrows in a row since playing my WC and moved from 950k to 250k in a month.. Austin (c) would have been the icing on the cake as I was been written off by mates..
Foster
Baines . Azpill . Naylor (Hutton . Yun)
Hazard (c) . Sanchez . Eriksen . Downing (Boyd)
Austin . Costa (vc) . BonyI have 2FT and 0.5 in the bank..
What would one be looking to do??
Was thinking about giving Baines and Sanchez this gw then selling for Man City cover!This sounds like an idea I could steal.
🙂
Feel sorry for Bony captainers. He was a solid pick but some tinkering by Monk has caused a pain.
He'll do well on Boxing Day though.
Do any of you walk around the house in a chugging motion repeating "Yayayayayayayyayayayayyayayayayayayyaya Toooouuuurrrreeeeeee", as if you were a train?
And I mean one of those old kind of steam engine locomotives rather than one of these fancy Dan Japanese trians that float above magnetic rails.No?
Could do with some help lads. Wanna transfer out Siggy but not sure who to replace him with.
Siggy > Cazorla/Nasri/Eriksen/Sterling?Ive got Eriksen and am happy with him for this week.
Sterling fixtures and position looks good but form is crap for Pool.
Nasri - no
Cazorla is in form tooI was thinking of going with Eriksen myself but it would be a 1 week punt. Don't expect him to do much against United & Chelsea.
Yes agreed, if he blanks this week its an easy transfer to Man City mid next week
Time to stop knee jerking up and upgrading bench fodder to nailed on players over this period.
Cheers!
Clichy replacement?
Sanchez looked worryingly bad yesterday
we have to give him QPR then maybe reassess!
Could be rested? Perfect game for that.
playing against good team..expect him to do well against leaky qpr defense
Liverpool's defence is more leaky than QPR's
😆
He's on my list
Are we waiting for news on Siggy or just getting rid?
Keeping myself.
Waiting
get rid now, you will only want him back when Bony leaves, probably keeping
Keeping
keeping
Keeping.
Tho still showing as 25% ...... :S
Anyone doing Siggy ---> Bolasie/Jedinak ?
No!
baines and siggy > silva and vergini?
so who would we say is essential this week?
Hazard
Sanchez.
giroud
Giroud
podolski says hi
nobody
Austin, Downing, Terry, Heaton
George Boyd
Those who are nailed for a start...Bony, Benteke, Austin and the like. Most of our premium picks are a bit iffy one way or another.
Hazard.
Since I can't do Siggy > Downing/Sakho > Austin without doing another transfer.
Thinking Sakho Clyne Siggy > Milner JT Austin for a hit.
Team is Guzan/Alnwick - Clyne/Naylor/Vergini/Hutton/Yun - Hazard/Yaya/Sanchez/Siggy/Boyd - Rooney/Costa/Sakho. Been floundering for the past 2 weeks, just inside 20k.I mean I can't do the above two transfers without doing a third since they are 0.1 over the budget.
Chadli -> Silva or fabregas?
Silva
Baines + Yun > Zaba + Debuchy for free?
Current team:
___________Guzan____________
Baines____Azpilicueta___Dummett
Siggy__Sanchez_Hazard____Yaya
Austin_____Benteke_______Costa
Subs: Elliot, Downing, Wisdom, Yun
2 FTs 0.8m itbdo it
sounds good
I like it.
