This would be the only week I would say hold for a week.

Relax. He has couple of tricky fixtures followed by BGW. I would stick with Austin.

With Olivier Giroud having hit wonderful form it is understandable to consider him as essential as the likes of Kane and, depending on where you now stand, Aguero and Austin.

Looking at the way Giroud scores his goals it is clear that he is thriving on being in the right target areas at the right time. Arsenal style of play is adapted to suit him in that dangerous balls get put into the area a lot and he takes the chances. In this way, by the very nature of what OPR must do to provide service to their top scorer, Charlie Austin can be seen as similar to Giroud, Somewhat not proved by yesterday's events, Harry Kane seems to be more free playing and more willing to take on players as well as finishing off the same opportunities as the likes of Giroud and Austin and at any rate, Kane's form speaks for itself. He is a monster for fantasy league points, a must have.

Therefore, Aguero aside, it is wise to weigh up the potential of Giroud in the coming weeks compared to Austin and whether or not you can afford to risk not having Giroud. Having scored 5 goals in the reverse league fixtures against both teams he plays in his DGW, Austin instantly commands potential. Yes, West Brom and Villa are better teams now and yes, both games are away from home but you can't ignore form like that in a DGW. Not to mention that he has had the most shots inside in the box over the last 4 GWs compared to any other player.

Giroud faces a tough task against a wise Liverpool who are not afraid to cancel the likes of hm out with Skrtel and Sakho and the defending which has earnt them so many clean sheets of late.. Then he travels to Turf Moor to face a Burnley side who graft out work ethic and determination ever game, before blanking the next GW.

Therefore, I believe Austin owners should not be considering transferring out. He hasn't even played this GW for a start and the underlying stats speak for themselves,

Does no one still believe that good enough players can be 'due' goals if he haven't scored as prolifically of late? Austin and Aguero will score and when that time comes, you won't want to have spent two FTs getting rid of them in the run up while Giroud's thunder gets stolen by the multitude of talent within Arsernal's squad.

Just my thoughts on the matter...

Wait and see on Costa

Forster and Vertonghen OUT

No. No point getting in dgw players for those who dont have and no point getting rid of dgw players for those who have

In the games that Coutinho hasn't got points in he's looked a threat and has been denied by some great saves. Liverpool's fixtures after Arsenal are great too.

Ameobi>Philips

Based on Opta stats which is different to FPL stats

What? Dropped to the bench?! Not sure what Kane has to do with all this.

Micky Dolenz here.. Day dreaming.

Forster -> Davis or Myhill

If Forster out say for a month then get Myhill for Hamer.

Yep

I would look at Mane or Henderson

Bolasie?

Mane or Ramsey for me. I'd still like to have an Arsenal mid for their run home, and Ramsey has been getting chances lately.

Mane is one of Soton's main sources of goals/assists from here on in, good value.

Micky Dolenz

Mane

3 votes for Mane. Sold him before Chelsea game.

How did he play yesterday?

Asked the same question here yesterday, wanted to get Sanchez out before the price drop. From the general consensus, I just kept him for this week. Using a transfer right now to take him out for anyone else doesn't seem worth it. Planning to save the transfer this week, and then have a longer time to decide what to do. Have the same basic plan:

Austin>CotsaCosta
Sanchez?

Owen Wilson's smile

Btw, 64pts.

Keep Aguero. Was unlucky not to score hat trick.

Sanchez needs to go.

I think on a FPL basis there are grounds to lose both simply based on lack of productivity over the last month, especially with less pricey options firing.

All the best for him but my gw33 gk problem is solved.

might be old news

It's in the scout tweets.

Is Myhill the certain replacement? or will Rose see minutes?

Thanks Scab , looks like another hit on the cards , dont think Panti can stand alone until 38

That will leave you two transfers before GW33 to remove 2 of the 5 players with blanks.

Looks like that.

It would be a luxury transfer for me

i would not bother to do that.

Decent pick imo. Problem is who will drop to bench?

Really depends who you are getting in man...

None, stick for now.

Heaton and Myhill rotate well

I'm getting Myhill for Heaton remember Sunderland have a DGW in GW37

That would have been , just tragic

I did

Took a punt on Sinclair , more so to facilitate Ivan in for Pieters . No more though.

😀

Mane is back to the wings, not the no. 10 role he was playing last weekend

damn koeman

Monitor benteke injury

lets hope for his sake Krancjar doesnt play!

Nearly beats Doos' 47 😯

Great team name 😉

Wow Benching Kane was a bold move.. Big balls didn't pay off.

This week***

It shows taking hits every week is good for team's health 😉
Well done! 🙂

Lets hope Ivan pays , love the name

Yep..hits work when you buy the right players. Not sure I'd do -12 though.

Ouch

Vertonghen, Sanchez should leave asap. Finding a replacement for Sanchez is tricky though. Vertonghen to Bertrand/Clyne/Ivan?
Austin can be changed to Costa after DGW.

If nothing to lose. Aguero -> Benteke if fit.

Just get rid of Vert ASAP

Vert >> Naughton

If you did this move would you be able to do Austin >> Costa transfer following Gw?

Vert, Mane and Sanchez make little appeal at present. Austin too but you may as well keep with the dgw coming up.

Sanchez->Silva is a priority imo.
May as well do Vert->Hutton to free up cash and take advantage of the dgw.

Sounds like a luxury transfer but if you're choosing between the three for a 3 week punt I'd go Ramsey

C, but not now, later

Liverpool,Burnley and Blank.

Look elsewhere

Caz is ticking over very nicely.

Start a new one? Something based on different concept?

Middlesbrough might be good for the 5th defender next year

Membership needed at Old Trafford but dint know about the others

I think it will be difficult to get tickets to "top" games . Perhaps best to aim a little lower..
I have just returned from UK , had tickets for Arse - WH , loved it ( Giroud Cpt too).
Will help if you have any family , friends in the Uk , with contacts.

Myhill and Pantz.

Myhill if you have a second keeper for gw35 onwards or Fabianski, Ospina or Migs imo

Fabianksi

Fab or Ospina ( after next ,despite the blank)

Its just a game 😉

Same

35% of the top 10k did the same so no biggie. Aguero could easily have done the same as Kane.

Cheers - makes me feel better. Maddening thing about fpl is that no matter how I do, the what ifs preys on my mind. Must man up.
