We delve into the Gameweek 20 data this evening and serve up some of the most impressive numbers from New Year’s Day. QPR, Swansea, Aston Villa and Man City’s strikers arrive under the radar, whilst we also cast an analytical eye over in-form midfielders from Spurs, Leicester and West Brom.
I feel I'm quite set on my WC team but only have 0.1m ITB if anyone rises/falls. Is it worth playing my WC earlier than expected to ensure I can get the team I want or just wait until the end of January to see transfers/form players etc. and changing my team around?
If you set then go for it. Of course by next week you will want a different team 😉
base your wildcard decision on your current team's ability. don't wildcard a good team just to swap things around if you ask me
I just don't want to wait until the end of January and not have enough money to have the WC team I want because players have risen as others do their teams..
The only thing I'm really waiting on is Aguero but I can have Costa until he comes back..
Chelsea must have Jan WC:
A) Fab, Haz and Costa
B) Terry, Haz and Costa
C) Terry, Fab and Haz
Haz is the only must imo
Any 2 of Costa Fab Defender after that
Getting that 2 right will determine your rank end of seasonI´m more inclined to B)
I've gone with C, but A scares me most
this. I'm in the JT-is-4m-cheaper-than-Costa camp.
But Without Costa who to buy?? Rooney??
Aguero ( RVP for now ) Kane and a in form budget option with good fixtures ( Ings until gw25> Berahino )
Ok, thanks. 🙂
I went anti-FFS last week with Costa ➡ Rooney. Weird I know, but it sets my team well for January and no matter who it is, it's just gonna be a placeholder for Kun.
Same here 🙂
This
Bench Walker Or Wisdom this GW?
Morning.
So Stevie G was at it again last night.
😯Morning.
Indeed. It's written in the stars, that one.
I hope he changes his mind.
My wilcard team has 10 of starting XI at home with Kane only away , and the team is set up well for a long time , feeling confident 🙂
What's your team, mate?
wen don' t need summaries, we need a look ai it 😉
Good luck. 🙂
DDG Panti
Terry Bertrand Tripper Wisdom PVA
Sanchez Hazard AdM Fabregas Boyd
Ings RVP Kane
( RVP> Aguero
Ings > Berahino gw25I'm looking at the same front 8. I'd say it's a good team, mate. What do you see in the expensive rotation, also?
I see that Trippier and PVA is enough for the BUR SUN wonder run of 6 cracking homes , I had Heaton too but was turned off on here of BUR double up , United have cracking fixtures and DDG is the only reliable way into their tightening up defense , When fixtures turn for United will downgrade to Mannone to release more funds , should have 2ft alot because won't be needing to make any transfer,
Sounds like a plan. Good luck, mate.
That front 8 looks like a template in FFS lately. Very strong team, nonetheless. I'd prefer a cheaper GK combo.
I can swap DDG to anyone , Wisdom is actually meant to be Lescott btw
😯 3 Burnley
Trippier and Ings can do well next 4 games I feel 🙂
TM time to change your grav? Since Torres is backed to Atletico.
🙂
Anyone want to show me their WC team? I'll provide feedback,,.
I'll show you after I activated it 😉
Nae' bother. 🙂
My draft:
DDG Guzan
Wisdom JT Bertrand PvA Naylor
Sanchez Siggy Boyd Fab Haz
Kun Austin Kane
Thoughts?Not sure if I should get two cheap rotating keepers or just DDG.
The former, imo.
Love the defence. Good balanced team, I'd say. Lacks United attacker.
I have both ADM and PvA coming back on the cheap.Holding off on Aguero though.
Havent played yet, but made 1st draft yesterday 🙂
Pantilimon-Heaton/Guzan
Terry-Clyne-Debuchy-Hutton-Van Aan/Cameron
Sanchez-Hazard-Sigurdsson-Downing-Boyd
Aguero-Giroud-Ings/AustinGood team, that. Wouldn't want Siggy AND Downing. No Kane? 😯
Kane is past, Ings is future 😀
Will only play one of Sigurdsson/Downing. 🙂
taking a punt on Ings myself
😎
Good Luck!
according to above team news Giroud not nailed.
I went with ADM instead of Aguero. glWelbeck is out, he is rested, so he should start imo 🙂
You wont get Aguero when he is back?
thanks,
Foster Panti
Clichy Cresswell Trippier Dummett Cissokho
Yaya Sanchez Silva Siggy Boyd
Rooney Austin Kane
4.7 ITBIs this a wildcard team?
yeah it is and sorry not yaya, Hazard my mistake :/
Thought so.
I'd want at least another Chelsea player. Terry and Costa/Fab in there and it's brill.thanks mate
Allergic to Chelsea players ?
Thanks man
Forster/4.0
Zab/Terry/Bertrand/Cresswell/Wisdom
Fab/Haz/Siggy/Boyd/Sanchez
Ings/Austin/Kane
Rationale: Defense subject to change, feedback appreciated
Any forward can be upgraded to Kun with 1FT, have enough in the bank (7.x)
Siggy to CHadli any good?Drop Zab, imo. The defence looks too expensive, I think. Hutton and Cameron? in for Zab and Cresswell. Gives you the money for Siggy > ADM.
great suggestion! thanks! Definitely losing Zab - earned me a grand total of 0 points in 3 weeks!!!
Terry and Bertrand along with 3 rotators is perfectly fine. Have you tried rotating GK's instead of Forster?
Chadli keeps scoring! I love goalscoring midfielders. Shame he plays for Spurs. Decent fixtures ahead though...
Best GKs to rotate, choose 2:
A) Green
B) Fabianski
C) Panti
D) GuzanE) Heaton

here's a rotation helper I believe sun and new have been best for cheaper keepers imo gl
thanks
Pantilimon-Guzan
read the article.
Haven't decided mine yet. Probably C & DA lot depends on the rest of your defense imo,
Panti a give-in imo, & Guzan as the safer/more clean sheets
Panti & Green could work out & depends mostly on the duo's save ability, could be racking up double digit hauls with those twoTerry, Bertrand, Hutton, Wisdom and O´Shea.
Nice backline, have you considered PvA over O'shea?
*Clark (4.3) or Lescott (goal threat)?
PvA AV have awful fix's
(LIV, tot, BUR) Not the best of fixtures sure, but starting from Gw23 & onward. Sunderland have exceptional fixtures.
Either way it mattesr little their individual fixtures seeing as that's where Hutton + Wisdom come in, they cover his set-backs. He'll be playing one of them each GW I'm certain so from now until the end.
HUL, LIV, BUR, bur, QPR, WBA, SOT, WBA, AVL, SWA, QPR, LEI, QPR, sto, SOT, WHU, LEI, BUR
No Money for Lescott and Clark is only 0.1 less than Hutton.
PvA didn´t play the last 3 games, he was injured??Lescott offers more goal threat from SP's than Wisdom,
Clark is cheaper, goal threat, & a cheeky little differential in the Villa defense
What? He got injured Gw9 in the 36th minute of the game, shortly after his assist. He always been in favor mate
this is a good point don't want to double up w/def if possible.
pant and guzan work well then.
If you already had Panti
Would you rather :
A: DDG and Boyd
B: Krul and Chadli
*note both Boyd and Chadli will be 5th mid bench fodderanwick and chadli for now but A looks good as well who is up top for you?
Ings RVP Kane ..but
RVP is Aguero placeholder
Ings to Berahino gw25
Need helps guys! I've already taken a -4 to get Kane and Terry in for Tekkers and Baines but now Lallana is out, should I take him out for a -8 or use the WC?
use the WC imo. gl
Use whoevers on your bench or wildcard. Definitely not the -8.
If you have Boyd as 5th mid I think I would have rather played him than Lallana this week anyway so just play Boyd
Never take a -8 in January
Please choose 3 for the next 6 weeks
1) Jovetic
2) kane
3) Berahino
4) Ings
Silva or Sterings?Ings, Kane, Jovetic. Silva
Best use of Ft:
1.downing > eriksen
2.moore > terry
mangala - vlaar - hutton - wisdom - moore
*aleady have chadliMoore to Terry
2
2. too many AV def's
Please don't tell me guzan is your keeper!
Guess I'd say Moore to Terry. Eriksen and Downing are about a wash the next 2 IMO.
SC. was leaning erik for his next 2 fav fixt. tery week after
cheers all.
How does this Jan end wc draft look like?
Forster, Hamer
Terry, Alderweireld, Dawson, Pva, Wasileski
Sanchez, Hazard, Chadli, Boyd, Fabregas/Adm/Wally
Aguero, Sturridge, Kanewhich dawson?
Wba
rather have Cazorla than Walcott
Rooney or Falcao (no money for RVP)??
i'd say Falcoa but it's a coin flip really.
Falcao, mans in form
Play PVA (LIV) or Bertrand (mun)
they both likely not CS's so Bertrand is sure to play 90--both attack so I see the dilemma.
Fff rank Sunderlands chance of a CS higher than Chelsea's!
berty
PvA if he's on the teamsheet
Which team do you prefer?
A) http://m.imgur.com/DGuM5hL
B) http://m.imgur.com/51G4W2Z
C) http://m.imgur.com/9OzJQTEA but chadli over downing
Cheers. For A:
Wasilewski and Boyd or PVA/Cameron and Albrighton?First one
2nd
Any changes to it?
0.2 ITB, iirc.No, looks good. Maybe Wisdom to cheapie as you dont need him
Fab, Haz, Alexis and ADM are must haves in WC??
have all+cazorla
Don't think Fab or Di Maria are quite on that level, although they're very good options. I also wonder if you don't already have Sanchez if he's worth his pricetag, especially with Ramsey/Walcott returning to fitness, but for the moment he and Haz are bolted into my team.
I have Haz, Alexis, Silva, Siggy and Fab in the moment.
I´m asking for the WC.
Done and dusted only way im changing this now is from a injury , team for upcoming gw ...
________Panti____________________
__Trippier Terry Lescott__________
Sanchez(vc) Fab AdM Hazard(c)

_________________________________
( Krul Chadli Bertand PVA) 0.0itbWhat's your TV? (Before and after WC)
Before it was 106.7 ( I think ) and now it's 106.4
Benching dilemma. Trippier is iffy, other than that, good to go 🙂
Cheers , Chadli will mostly stay on bench , just adequate cover should Chelsea rest or rotate through busy period
His potential for points (that you will bench) will hurt like mad tho
Surely you cant bench him for next 3?
I'm thinking of playing him over AdM this week ( RMT agrees 😀 ) and then will just bench him anyway ( or toss up between him and Ings next 2) and he may well be called upon anyway ( Sanchez / Hazard rest )
His next 3 games are very playable. You'll have a benching headache. Plus you mentioned that he'd be adequate cover for CHE players, but then if CHE & TOT make it to the COC later stages, you'd probably have players from both team missing.
Great team, but If it's my team I will do Chadli -> Boyd (for the lovely immediate fix) and bank a little.Thanks for the feedback , I can do that , I would feel safer with Chadli as first sub rather than Boyd , and I don't really need money itb as RVP is Kun placeholder
I realized that about RVP, but then you might be tempted to upgrade Ings later on, or someone else. Just my 2 cents.
hamer.good 2015 4 u mate. did u do wc?
Happy new year mate 🙂 yes I wildcarded, well done lately , you are doing very good 🙂
2FTs:
Yaya + Eriksen -> ADM + Chadli?
Could get away with Yaya -> ADM or Chadli and use the 2nd FT elsewhere. Keep Eriksen before a good fixture.
Thoughts on this draft?
Heaton, Pantilimon
Terry, Bertrand, Naylor, Hutton, Wisdom
Sanchez, Hazard, Fabregas, Di Maria, Walters
Aguero, Ings, KaneVery nice , Walters is not that good of a 5th mid , may as well have Boyd if your not gonna have a Downing / Chadli imo, could downgrade Bertie to Alderweid or Walters to Boyd to gain funds
I think I would prefer PVA and Lescott than Naylor and Wisdom ( more attacking threat )Thanks, mate. Sensible suggestions. Cheers.
About as template as it gets for the WC right now.
Guess that's a good thing, then. Cheers.
Yes, I think it is. I like the Ings pick too.
AV have brutal fix's
Hutton> PvA or maybe Davies given spurs fix'sRotation means I won't play Hutton, anyway. Thanks, though.
a) Falcao--Azpi--Forster
or
b) Costa--Debuchy--DDG
thanksWhat's so appealing about Ings?
He's in the majority of my WC drafts... 😯Next 4 fixtures, 3 good homes, then can easily be swapped to Berahino gw25 coinciding with WBA good fixtures or end of transfer window move to LIV
barnes is 4.4 and in form as well
might want to adjust keeper rotation and get NEW w/pant
Vokes. The End! 😛
on form + lovely immediate fixtures.
Acceptable to those who WC early, not for my liking since I'm WCing in GW23He's a bit too meh for my liking. It is Burnley after all
Lots of WC fails around.
I'm sure mine will be too. 🙁Bit too soon to judge no?
Anyone have any idea what the general template is at the mo, just want to compare my team
People who aren't going for Costa:
What's your forward line on the wildcard?Austin/Kun-Giroud-Ings
May go for Costa but:
Austin Rooney KaneAguero/ Kane/ Argentine Kane
*Aguero/ Giroud or Bony/ Bera or Ings
Kane Falcao (barnes)
playin 3-5-2
got Azpi-Haz-Fab
Chadli is looking a good buy for the next two games before a lot of us plan to WC.
Would you offload any of these 5 to bring him in though?
Hazard, Sanchez, Silva, Eriksen, Downing
Costa, Kane, Austin
Bank 0.1m, 2 FT
I wouldn't triple up on Spurs, so I say lose Eriksen. That could backfire badly, though.
Eriksen, Chadlii reduces his output
You already have 2 TOT attack so I'd pass.
Maybe Downing if you insist but I'm giving him one last shot (vs Hull) before I WC. Bad fixtures coming up.
Ok here are my thoughts and what I'm settling for(albeit for now and may tinker as everyone does) on my wildcard:
Foster Panti (Not bad rotation, Panti has looked good recently and the Pulis factor for Foster)
Terry Clichy Cresswell Wisdom Dummett (A bit expensive I know)
Hazard Silva Sanchez Siggy Boyd
Austin Rooney Kane
With 3.1 mil ITB to upgrade Rooney to Aguero when the time comes and to alter anything later on.
thoughta?I don't think you need 3.1 for Kun. That's too much.
Very good team, but I'd still want 3 CHE.
What to do with my free with 3.7 in the bank? Have no idea.
Guzan (McCarthy)
Wisdom Zab Aspi (Taylor Oshea)
Sanchez Hazard Silva Downing (Boyd)
Austin RVP Kane
thanks guys.Downing to ADM?
With Vokes back is it likely Barnes will be benched?
I hope not he's in form for sure.
