It’s time for the first members article of the international break now, as we delve into the data from Gameweek 7.
Alexis Sanchez, Sergio Aguero and Zlatan Ibrahimovic come under analysis after their Gameweek 7 armband failures.
Paul Pogba’s improved displays without Wayne Rooney in the Man United XI and Nacer Chadli’s start to life at the Hawthorns are also assessed.
C
Considering downgrading Ibra to Benteke, which would allow me to upgrade Hojbjerg to Son, Walcott or Cazorla next round. Good plan?
Foster/Pickford
Coleman/Stones/McAuley/Holebas/Amat
Firmino/Stirling/Antonio/Capoue/Hojbjerg
Aguero/Ibra/Costa
1FT 0.7ITB
Palace fixtures really aren't that appealing, I know form over fixtures but I'd rather have Wilson or Deeney.
Who takes penalties for Bournemoth? I'm considering Wilson as third forward..
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/premiership-set-piece-takers/ is a fair guide for Bournemouth.
Thanks..
I have a very ordinary rank but I think a decent TV/SV (103.5/101.5).
Anyone got a 102M selling value?
Evening all. Any thoughts on this?
A - Luka and Snodgrass
B - C Wilson and Son + 1.1m
B lets me get an arse def rather than stones/Williams...
B all day without hits
Thanks, that's what I'm on but there is a lot of luka love around here
A all the way mate. Great fixtures coming up for Snod, and Katy is a beast
Cheers !
Haha....Kaku. ....bloody auto correct ☺
I prefere A
Thanks !
First post of my blog https://tacticalpep.wordpress.com/
would really appreciate it if you gave it a read
Got a link to your team?
Oh I thought you said you'd had a few seasons?
couldn't log into my account when the game went live, this is a new acc
😀
It's not new either.
how have you reached that conclusion?
My mistake, got you mixed up with someone else.
Good to see some green arrows and linking your team.
Nirvana.
Without a doubt.
Good read. I'll bookmark it! 🙂
thanks ozil
Thank you, well written with great reasoning
Good read Mr. Maverick. Great team too. Good luck with the 3-5-2 but I can't bring myself to change from my beloved 3-4-3.
Good stuff.
pick one of these moves to upgrade def & keepers
A)Walcott to Snodgrass
B)Deeney to Austin/Wilson
C)your suggestion
TEAM :
Grant Pickford
Walker Koscielny Francis Amat 3.9
Sanchez Walcott Son Coutinho Carrick
Aguero Lukaku Deeney
I would just stick with Pickford for now he is doing fine..
Snodgrass's fixtures are tempting. Great value
Repost on Snod:
I have Snod and its an interesting call. May be on pens if Hernandez keeps losing pitch time along with the free kicks, plus better fixtures coming. What concerned me about Hull was how they collectively seem to fade badly in games - they really need a new manager and stability fast.
Upgrade def? You have walker and Kos, no need to downgrade a player like walcott because of that!
I'm a little worried with Amat being relegated to the bench with the new manager upcoming
That'll leave me very light
potentially*
missed the key word there
To be honest I would stick it out with that defence for now. You already have Spurs and Arsenal defs, Walcott and Deeney are worth keeping.
Stick buddy , it looks decent.
Has anyone compared the heat maps of Iceland & Bali?
Definitely gonna move to the Indonesian island.......
Yeah but try comparing the Threat stats for Somalia and Switzerland.
You'll be surprised...
Somalia due to explode any moment 😮
The Swiss are all armed with little knives
Can't open 🙁
Can't be as hot as your kitchen .
Did a small summary of the BPS from the non-Bellerin Arsenal defenders to figure out whether Koscielny's role as a bonus point magnet in previous campaigns still holds true and thus would justify the premium.
Looking at the BPS since Mustafi entered (gw 4->) this is what we get:
Kos 30, 17, 30, 44 = 131
Mustafi 20, 18, 26, 40 = 104
Monreal 20, 11, 30, 33 = 94
In these game weeks Kos scored in both gw 4 and 7, i.e his scores of 30 and 44. In gameweek 4 he clearly outscores the others, but Mustafi is really close in gw 7 despite the additional points that comes from Kos' game winning goal. He also beats kos in the "neutral" gw 5, although with a single BPS.
GW 2-3 where Kos and Monreal played but no Mustafi
Kos: 30, 21
Monreal: 31, 16
Kos has gathered the most bonus points but saw Monreal gather 3 bonus points in gw 2.
To be fair, Koscielny is more likely to score goals and gather bonus points because of that, but I was a bit surprised to see that he is not the unrivaled king of BPS. Especially Mustafi's performance against Burnley, which earned him 2 BP, stands out for me.
For now Kos seems like the best alternative, but I would probably try to find the extra 0.3 to get Bellerin. If budget is short and you missed the price rise, Mustafi may be a valid alternative.
Indeed - Bellerin will surely fire soon he is playing right wing, getting beyond Theo a lot...
I have Bell and Kos Arsenal double up worked well last week sticking with it..
Yeah, will bring a lot of points. A bit expensive to have both maybe but probably the best 2 defenders for the upcoming weeks
i.imgur.com/LdKeIR3.png
Bellerín looks dependent on attacking returns for his BAPS, Mustafi now stealing Koscielny's workload.
what are those numbers?
Foster - Jaku
Coleman - Vertonghen - Holebas - Evans - Kingsley
Sanchez- Sterling - Mane - Antonio - Snodgrass
Kun - Lukaku - Diomande
2FT and 0.2itb
Any suggestions?
Foster to Pickford and Antonio to son/walcott
Normally I would stay away from Stoke...especially with the form they are in. However, I'm interested to know what you guys think about Joe Allen playing as a CAM/CF at 4.8. After watching the United match last week he was playing in a much more advanced roll than I'm used to seeing him.
I haven't watched a lot of Stoke's matches this year....but I think this is a newer role for him.
Trying to free up room so I can pick up Benteke so that means downgrading a Barkley to Allen. Worth it?
I like Allen as a fantasy prospect now , and with very appealing fixture , I don't see any issue with it .
Which one is the better option?
A)Vertonghen, Sterling, Austin
B) Mustafi, Walcott, Wilson
I already own Sanchez & Aguero so it's a double up. ML leader owns Walcott but not Sterling. (A) leaves me with 0.0 ITB hence I could not get Wilson(6.4) and have to get Austin(6.3). This is purely for ML not OR as I'm playing GW19 cash out so things start to get a bit serious now 12 weeks left.
Would really appreciate your thoughts and some help to win me £££! Thanks.
B just
Ighalo has to go, I also don't want deeney as I'm too stubborn to go with who I should have picked, for about 7.3 who should I get in for the foreseeable future?
C Wilson? Good fixtures and pens
Defoe or Rondon?
Defoe - easily
Stubborn don't work in FPL - but there are plenty in that bracket. Why not Defoe?
Thanks for the responses, surprised no mention of Austin as he was a consideration, I will also consider who you guys have suggested.
Austin
Austin
C Wilson prospects now Wilshere is behind him must surely be good. Fixtures are a bit pants though. Thoughts anyone?
Fixtures aren't bad at all. Very decent option.
A) Snodgrass
B) Allen + 0.9m
Both have great fixtures. Avoiding Bournemouth mids for now due to rotation.
A
Goal involvement% will always be higher of Snodgrass than Allen. Shaq Arnie Bony waiting to pounce
Baines will he play?
also, worthy to wait for 2 ft to get in Smith (.1 more) or just use the FT for Francis?
Baines should be fine.
Who's a good 4.5(ish) defender for the next few weeks? Already have Holebas.
Pieters or Robertson
Based just on fixtures? Seen Shawcross has had 7 shots inside box in last 4 GW's.
Yeah pretty much. Shawcross over Pieters if you can afford then.
Francis - Adam Smith if you have 4.6
What's with the Robertson love? Is he on set pieces?
Good attacking option but forget a cleanie...
Cheers
Anyone, best move for BOU def
1 ft evans > francis 4.5
2 wait for 2 ft to get Smith 4.6 (dont have now extra funds)
If you're not going to play Francis then wait for 2ft to get smith
will play francis. defence has bad fixt
Then probably Francis but it's your choice if u think bournemouth will get a cs against hull and also smith could get attacking points
1.
Francis is still getting some decent touches in the box
Is masuaku to kosc/ballerina and Sterling to son/Walcott for a hit justifiable???????
Depends on the defender you would play instead.
Sterling vs 3rd def + 4 vs Arsenal def + Son/Walcott.
The 2nd pair should beat the 1st over the next 3 if Arsenal keep 2 CS or thereabouts.
I'm getting masuaku out no matter what and whoever I get will play so this could be either vertonghen/holebas/smith
It comes down to Arsenal def vs vertonghen/holebas/smith. If you think there is a big difference in potential points then the hit may be worthwhile if you think the mids score similar.
I have no idea, do you think kosc/bellerin will guaranteed get at least 4 more points than vertonghen/holebas/smith, also taking into account that Sterling could get more points than son/Walcott???
That's the issue. The extra you spend in defence can catch up with you in attack.
Long term the defender one will so it's about the attack one and how long you plan to keep Sterling or replacement.
Thanks man I'll think about it as none of them are looking to rise soon
Maybe sterling may end up being injured so it could come out as an easy decision
Who to start?
A.McAuley
B. Williams
C. Morgan
D. Amat
McAuley Williams Morgan
When are they doing the scout cast?
Next week. Not much to talk about with no games in the near future.
Ok.
Am I crazy for selling Sanchez? I feel there are so many good midfielders in mid price range (7.0-8.5) that I feel confident in not having Sanchez. It also leaves me with 3.0 ekstra that I can invest in other areas and get a better team overall.
Cech (Jaku)
Coleman Koscielny McAuley (Amat/Collins)
Stearling Firmino Son Walcott (Snodgrass)
Lukaku Aguero Rashford
1.1 ITB to upgrade defence and bring in another striker for Rashford.
Your whole attack is quite weak then so you should upgrade rashford to Costa or someone else
You think Aguero and Lukaku is weak? and with that midfield? I agree on Rashford but I can easly upgrade him for Benteke/Deeney/Defoe or other striker in the same price range. I just feel I dont need those most expensive players to do it well. Sitting around 100k for the moment.
Arsenal play Swansea, Middlesbrough & Sunderland in the next 3 games. Its not the right time to sell sanchez
^^
Im aware of that and I do have Walcott for this. My point is that there are great inform players that are much cheaper and yet pick almost as much points as Sanchez that costs 11.3.
Is there any way to stop having to always relog in to access members articles? Also are/could you link articles in the members section?
Diffferent server for members area but currently you need to login in or leave a tab open. You can't post whilst in the members area so the article idea probably wouldn't work.
Hi guys, thinking doing this before the break for -4 points leaving 0.3itb. What do you reckon and should I wait?
Ibra, Antonio & Valencia -> Kun, Son & Kosc
splendid transfers, although I am not sure of whether Son or Wally is the best
I like the transfers but just monitor the price changes at fplstatistics.co.uk then act just before any changes likely to happen
Great transfers, its worth it.
No need to do those moves now, you'll be disappointed if one of those gets injured playing internationals.
Do the transfers, but after internationals have been played!
Is son playing internationals?
Cheers guys much appreciated.
Hansel - I've already got Sanchez and Cech so I couldn't get Wally if I was to go for Kosc. Also Son is playing internationals vs. Qatar and Iran.
DMKP - I wondered how people knew about price hikes. This looks really helpful. When do you complete the transfer? When it's in the 90s? Late 90s? Top tip thanks.
Alright, makes sense to go Son then. I'm torn between him and Theo but if full Ars cover than Son is a no-brainer
I'll keep an eye on the fplstatistics. Only thing that worries me is that Kun is playing Peru,Paraguay, Eve, Barca, S'ton and ManU in the next 6 fixtures. Is anyone going to brave it without him?
No. I might captain someone ells if there is a better option or risk of resting, but Im not going to sell him.
Yeah I very nearly did Antonio to Walcott last week but decided to keep a FT for after the break. I reckon Son over Wally as he's playing false 9
Evans to Smith or Holebas?
Holebas but it is very close. If you don't have a viable option was holebas is banned for one week after his 5yc then smith
Smith, both have attacking potential + fixtures but Watford still yet to keep a CS
Smith is 0.1 more however, but if it is absolutely no issue then probably smith. Also, Watford fixtures are much better than Bournemouth for next three.
I Have both of them. If i had to choose one, I would probably go with Smith.
Is this a crazy move?
Sanchez + Capoue + Baines > Walcott + Son + Mustafi -4
Would allow me to get an Arsenal defender and means I won't have to play Capoue every week. Potentially Walcott could equal Sanchez's points over next few weeks.
Not a huge fan of getting rid of Sanchez, I'll be honest. No way you can do 2 transfers for free and keep Sanchez? Son and an Arsenal defender would be excellent moves even if it means playing Capoue for another week or two.
Money is so tight at the moment the only way to do both those moves is by downgrading another expensive player, but I have Sterling Firmino Sanchez Antonio Kun Kaku don't really want to get rid of any of them.
Can you post your team and team value?
Foster Jaku
Walker PVA Baines Holebas Amat
Sanchez Firmino Sterling Antonio Capoue
Kun Lukaku Barrow
£102.2 TV £0.2 itb 2FT
So you are keeping Foster the next 3 games? Be aware that he wil drop in price this GW, maybe even £0.2 and Im sure in next GW too. It might be smart to take a hit to bring in a new goalkeeper.
I don't think Foster will drop in price this week, but I am looking at bringing in a new GK likely Pickford to free up some cash
Foster went from around +80% to -17% since sunday so I belive he wil drop. You can follow transfer changes here.

sorry if you knew about this site and are following 🙂
Sorry my fault I was checking Forster. 🙂 small typing error 🙂
I did somthing like this and people are amost calling me crazy. 🙂 In my opinion there are so many good players around 7.0-8.5 that is worth it. With the extra money you realy can ugrade your team. Im sitting around 100k with team value 103.6.
If you break it down... Mustafi probably 5 clean sheets in next 8 games (Baines not close), Son attacking treat and in form (Capoue not even close) Walcott in form and is picking up as many points as Sanchez at the moment.
Thanks for feedback, unfortunately my TV is nowhere near as good as yours (£102.4), I really messed up somewhere along the way when it came to buying and selling players 😆
At least its not around £100 🙂
In my opinion your fist priority shoud be investing in Arsenal defender og goalkeeper. They have great fixtures the next 8-9 games. I compared it to Tottenham fixtures and Arsenal has higher chances for keeping clean sheats. If Arsenal players are to expensive you shoud consider Vertongen and Lloris (0.1 cheaper then Cech)
This is my team btw:
Cech (Jaku)
Coleman Koscielny MyAuley (Amat/Collins)
Stearling Firmino Son Walcott (Snodgrass)
Lukaku Aguero Rashford
1.1 ITB to upgrade Rashord or defence.
Sterling, Lovren and Pickford with yellow injury flags. Any cause for concern?
No
Not sure about sterling but Lovren & pickford should be fit for next weekend
Sterling sounds like he will be okay
Sterling is a Fergie injury.
Soooo many midfield choices... its getting very tempting to go 3-5-2 especially if there is a need to keep using transfers swapping out your third striker chasing form and fixtures.
I like this mid... Sterling, Son, Walcott, Sanchez, Firmino with Aguero and lukaku as the 2
It wouldn't be possible unless you downgrade one of sterling/Walcott/son to snoddy grass
best move pls? thx
