We dig into the weekend data now, with the first of our weekly articles for members. Under the radar this time are City’s Spanish frontman, the Cardiff midfield, Everton’s full-backs, Sunderland’s wide-boy and the new role for Liverpool’s captain:
7/10
Too much money in defense imo, and don't like Ramsey.
Nice frontline, but not sold on double SOpen Controls
What would you do?
Open ControlsWell. Get Giroud or even Rodriguez. Upgrade one of Ramsey or Silva. Choose another cheap mid than Lucas, who is absolutely nothing but a YC magnet. Downgrade either Chiriches or Azpi to Chester or Ward.
Open Controls
my bench and everything look in order?
Boruc
Coleman - Ward - Kosc
Haz - Silva - Ozil - Lallana
Suarez (c) - Giroud (v) - Sturridge
Davis, Chester, Azpi, ColbackOpen Controls
Cracking team ... nice one!
Open Controls
Cracking score this GW Sinik. Pity I wasn't able to keep up. 72 for me and up to 135k @ 1,253 points. Hot on your tail! 😀
Open Controls
Negredo > Aguero for free, or keep Negredo for this GW?

I think I am going to go to bed to ponder the presence of Aaron Lennon in my side. Good night all

Wildcard draft for next week (-36 and 0.0 in the bank).
Might go without Ozil and Silva (who I have now) to afford Lallana.
However, could go Bards->Parr, Navas->Silva & Lall->Ramsey/Cabaye?
Boruc / Davis
Coleman / Koscielny / Bardsley / Turner / Chester
Cazorla / Oscar / Navas / Lallana / Colback
Suarez / Aguero / Lukaku
What do you think? Thanks DZ 🙂Open ControlsQuite like the squad, but not sure about Cazorla in particular. If you fancy a punt, Cazorla > Ox could give you some coin for Oscar > Hazard + Lukaku > Sturridge. 1 punt traded for 2 solid buys elsewhere.
Open ControlsThanks for the advice.
Would rather not double up on Pool attack, not my forte for forwards.
Ox came off the bench against Villa and I'll need more convincing to trade him in.
Wenger might play Ramsey as a RAM (see what I did there) as he's done previously in the season when he's back - meaning Ox is just an impact sub.Open ControlsAre you really doubling up though? Everyone will have Suarez, so it's just effectively one Liverpool striker in your team. Returns from Sturridge is just a plus.
Possibly - but Caz isn't showing any signs of fantasy potential. He was horrible against Villa and gave the ball away so many times. Including the goal.Open ControlsNever put it that way, interesting thought!
Will have a think about it TBH, but it's best to see Sturridge start first - similar to the Walcott situation.
I'd say Ozil gave the ball up a lot as well, plus he doesn't shoot enough. Caz actually had a few attempts plus he's cheaper. But a shame about the goal he gave away..Open Controls
Cazorla > Ramsey
Open ControlsNo love for Santi here.. hmm
Open Controls
WC team draft any ideas PLEASE
Szczesny/Kelvin Davis
Kolarov, Koscielny, Coleman
Wilshere, Lallana, Hazard, Navas
Agüero, Sturridge, Suárez
(Janu, Mariappa, Chester)Open ControlsDrop Szcz to Boruc and upgrade Jack or Navas -> Silva?
Open Controls
The Ballon d'Or is quite unfairly weighted towards people whose skills are shown on TV or in large stadia. I regularly trounce my son at different levels - in the park with a full-sized ball, in the house with his superman ball or, and this is where my true skills are best seen, with a balloon.
But not a single vote yet again.Open ControlsBrazil manager! Good vote.
Open Controls
Boruc/Bardsley
or
Mannone/Clyne + 0.2
Davis non-playing keeperOpen Controls
A by a mile
They're not similar actually.
B means you have to play SUN def everyweek = terrible
A means you can rotate SUN def, just play him in good fixtures. Playing Soton def everweek feels better than SUN defOpen Controls
Would you play Jrod or Ward this week? (have Lallana starting for Sou cover already btw)
Only smart people reply please 😉Open ControlsI don't know about a brace but JRod should definitely be started ahead of Ward
Open Controls
Would it be criminal to go into this week without a MCY striker if on a WC?
Can get a ridiculously good team out with Suarez, Giroud & Sturridge up top.Open Controls
It would be criminal to pick the donkey over one of them, yes.
Open Controls🙂
Better?
Szczesny, Davis
Terry, Kolarov, Clyne, Ward, Chester
Hazard, Silva, Ozil, Gnabry, Noone
Aguero, Suarez, SturridgeOpen Controls
Personally i wun get in gnabry as there is a chance i may need get in an extra arsenal player in the form Of giroud or ramsey
Open ControlsWell 15 players is better than 3 😉
Looks good besides the 4th/5th mids. I would MUCH rather one less heavy hitter in midfield and having 2 mid-priced (Lallana, Ramsey, Eriksen etc) although perhaps that is for in a months time after Arsenal's good fixtures run out.Open ControlsYeah, the 4th/5th is a bid short term to hopefully take advantage of ARS's good fixtures in the next 3 (FUL, CPL). Ozil & Gnabry -> Ramsey & Lallana/Eriksen after them would be the plan.
Another option could be to downgrade in defence and go with the below - better?
Boruc, Davis
Koscielny, Clyne, Bardsley, Ward, Chester
Hazard, Silva, Ozil, Ramsey, 4.2m
Aguero, Suarez, SturridgeOpen Controls
Score predictions for both games?
Open ControlsIf u have silva/yaya or both maybe u can do w/o. Pool and arsenal have gr8 fixtures themselves lol. Another prob is are u going to get aguero? If u are maybe u can just put him in even though he may start on bench. At least save u an extra transfer on getting him in
Open Controls
Is the ticker buggered for anyone else? Was trying to find a rotation partner for Boruc to see if there was a good cheap pairing with him. After dragging the relevant GWs etc around the sort by difficulty threw up some bizarre results to say the least.
ARS, LIV, tot, mci, MUN were the weeks I was looking at and they were apparently the 9th best set of fixtures over those 5 weeks. Meanwhile WBA's five fixtures (avl, sun, hul, nor, STO) were the third worst!Open ControlsBen Foster, that is all,

Hazard, Ozil, Silva, Lallana, Barkley
Suarez, Lukaku, Giroud
Got 2.8m to play with and 1 F. Is there any player within my budget who could explode this coming GW?Open ControlsLukaku to sturridge or negredo? Provided that u want to get rid of lukaku during wc.

Thanks!Open ControlsDo it
Open Controls
Who is the best player to replace Barkley with for a similar price? Januzaj? Ki?
Open ControlsAnyone else noticed the Gnabry/Januzaj rotation for the next 4 is ridiculously good?
FUL, CAR, CPL, FUL
Could be a decent short term gamble for the 4th/5th mid spots until Ramsey is back fit?Open ControlsNo chance the Ox gets the starting berth? And isn't Ramsey expected back very soon?
Open ControlsWenger seems to be moulding the Ox into a centre midfielder so perhaps he is less likely to go out on the wing?
If Ramsey is confirmed fit for the w/e I think I may go super cheap at the back and get a front 7 of:
Ozil, Silva, Hazard, Ramsey
Suarez, Aguero, SturridgeOpen Controls
Has anyone looked at a 5 man defensive rotation? 😯
5 cheapies at the back allows for some serious fire power up top.Open Controls
Not a bad strategy at all. Make sure you get some nailed-on fwds and mids.
Open ControlsAV HC CP CC NC have cheap defenders (< 4.4M).. can we risk having those defs every week?
I would like to see the fixtures rotation thou..Open ControlsRat & Whittaker nailed on?
Open Controls
My defenders on a WC right now are Kolarov-Azpi-Clyne-Chriches-Kosc
Open ControlsThat's pretty strong. Quite a bit of cash on the bench each week, unless you plan to play 4 or 5 at the back most weeks?
Open Controlsplan to play a 3-4-3 and I don't think I really want Ozil or Yaya so I don't think there's any reason to move Eriksen or Ramsey to either of them in my team so my team right now looks like this:
Krul (Davis)
Clyne Kosc Kolarov (Chiriches Azpi)
Hazard Ramsey Eriksen Silva (Lucas)
Suarez Aguero SturridgeOpen Controls
Wad abt william from swans? Some gd fixture ahead! 4.8 though. I gt wes brown too lol. Currently on kosc baines + ward chester brown

Pick 2 to play:

Good morning guys. People on WC, how much profit are you targeting to make utilising all the price rise and drops this week for your final team? My target is .5m. I may make .4 this week.
Open Controls
I think this kind of thing is overhyped because generally you will want to keep the guy rising 0.2
Open Controls
Azpilicueta or Kolarov for WC? [Already have Yaya and Aguero]
Open ControlsKolo.. Kolorov, Silva & Aguero owner here!
Open Controls
Should I trade out Yaya? Originally got him at 9.3
+ thoughts on bringing Ramsey back in?Open ControlsYaya could be up for a rest ... silva is cheaper and more preferred.
Ramsey could be back but no-one is actually sure until the side is named this GW. I would expect him to start on the bench and rotate for 20 minutes towards the end of the game. Home to Fulham they hardly need him.Open Controls
My front 8 is:
hazard ozil lallana silva januzaj
sturridge suarez giroud
Naturally I'd love to have aguero but think I will let giroud play his nice 3 fixtures first before switching him out...
Think this will cost me? I just hope a) aguero doesn't hit form too quickly and b) he doesn't rise too much
I guess a and b are heavily linked too!Open ControlsThat's a very good front 8, and after this week Aguero does have a couple of tricky games.
However, I think not having him will cost you. MCY are a scoring machine and Aguero is a brilliant player. Looking a lock for a 0.3m rise this week, especially if he does anything in the game tonight.Open Controls
0.3? Surely not, that would mean rise today, tomorrow and friday again...I think 0.2 is definetely max.
Open Controls
I m doing the same but i m getting in welbeck/rooney in instead of giroud. I gt an extra 0.6 itb to stomach any aguero rise though
Open Controlsto clarfiy this isn't a wildcard team. I have already taken a -4 this week anyway.
I'm just hoping I can get away without aguero for a few weeks. Luckily his fixtures turn great at the same time giroud's turn sour so it will be a nice switch if all goes well!Open Controls
