    Lukaku will probably drop in value by Saturday....

    You've no City players. They're the favourites for the league, scoring the most goals, and not that they have their best defenders fit again, most likely to keep clean sheets.

    Sergio Agüero sounded a warning to Manchester City’s rivals by saying that he expects it to take no more than a week before he returns to peak form and fitness.

    Thats grand, i'll wait! Once GW22 starts, I'll activate my WC :)

    Interesting interview with aguero. Im having some doubts about whether to get him in this week now. If Im doing it, it has to be tonight.

    Will wait til yaya and aguero are 100% and then get them in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    Did lukaku to aguero even though Im less confident about him starting than I was earlier after seeing his post match interview, but I want him long term and if I dont get him in tonight it will more than likely mean a four point hit. Sturridge or Negredo probably make more sense this week. The last time I signed aguero on a thursday night pellegrenni announced in his friday press conference that aguero was out injured. Surely that cant happen again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Rooney is causing me problems. I was banking on him being fit this week after his little siesta in the sun last week but I'm loathe to not have him for another week when I have other issues. I'm also not using the WC. Rooney has a great run of games if he were back after the chelsea game. He has a good 10 days to return then.

    However Aguero is sitting smiling at me too. Arteta is being shipped and both my Turners look sketchy as well as Silva so I will be taking a hit but no more than -4.

    The plan was Ozil in for Arteta anyway, plus whatever else I decide


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,697 ✭✭✭Danger781


    Take a -4 hit, or activate my wildcard.. Hmm, decisions..

    I'm in the same boat with Rooney. I wanted to keep him and if he was fit this week I definitely would keep him.

    But with him out, it looks like I will only have 10 starters and I have enough to swap him with Aguero for a -4.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    I'm not sure I can bring myself to pull the trigger on Aguero tonight. I'll be down 0.1 but I need more time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,022 ✭✭✭jamesbere


    Would love to bring in aguero, but not taking a hit to do it, Negredo, silva and kolorov should do me for the cardiff game. I'm looking more towards rooney when he's fully fit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 415 ✭✭TaytoCrisps


    8 point hit after playing my wildcard. knee jerk reaction to get aguero in ... really need a bit more disapline in making transfers.... Ramsey was one of the players i brought in only to find out today he is out .

    Interesting alright, If he only went back to full training on monday he might be a doubt for starting against cardiff

    The rise doesn't matter to me, so I'm gonna wait until next week to bring Aguero in. I feel like I'll get a better return from Cole and Negredo than Chester and Aguero and the -4.

    Let's see how that goes. :D

    I may very well regret this...but I'm quite drunk and bed is calling to me and I'm gonna have to read this message three times for typos. G'nite all!


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 7,430 Mod ✭✭✭✭pleasant Co.


    aguero yes, but how long he'll play for is the question.
    Ramsey no, still out.

    Ramsay will not play this weekend, Aguero is expected to be in the squad at least.

    What a crazy idea:eek:
    You played wildcard last week and took 8 points hit this week? And the points hit included Ramsey who is out:confused:
    The only transfer I did was Wellbeck to Negredo anyway. Makes sense as he is very likely to play over an hour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,797 ✭✭✭Dr. Bre


    is ramsey back this weekend?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,797 ✭✭✭Dr. Bre


    sorry just read above hes out.

    Interesting piece on Negredo .

    http://asliga.com/Article/Detail/9/are-you-wasting-your-budget-on-negredo

    awwhs8m.jpg
    When Aguero picked up a hamstring injury in week 16, fantasy managers everywhere turned to Negredo as his replacement to keep some City coverage in their forward line. For the most part he has done the trick, except for gameweeks 19 and 20 where he only played 35 and 59 minutes respectively – And this is the problem.

    Of all the strikers that could be considered “premium” Negredo has made the most appearances this season with 20, but he is only averaging 63.1 minutes per game. Unfortunately for Negredo, Aguero is the main man, and Pellegrini sees Negredo and Dzeko as interchangeable, like for like replacements. Aguero took only 50 seconds to announce his return from injury this week, coming on as a substitute and scoring against Blackburn. This means the ace is back in Manchester City’s deck of cards, and with the Sky Blues also competing in the FA Cup, Capital One Cup and the Champions League, the strikers are sure to be shuffled.

    Negredo’s involvement stats reflect the fact he is not playing 90 minutes every week, and when you weight him up against other options such as Giroud or Lukaku, it’s hard to justify keeping him in your squad.

    Negredo’s yearly ALI is 3.8, below Lukaku on 3.9 and Giroud on 4.3. Negredo has an average of 2.1 shots per game – Lukaku 2.2 and Giroud 2.7. Negredo has an average of 5.3 successful passes in the final third per game, - Lukaku 7.7 and Giroud 9.1. All three men have scored 9 goals this season, but Giroud and Lukaku have provided 5 assists a piece whilst Negredo has only come up with 4. Negredo has returned fantasy managers an average of 4.6 points per game, whilst Lukaku has managed 5.2 and Giroud 5.5.

    When you look at statistics like this, and consider that the main men for Everton and Arsenal come well under Negredo’s price point of 9.9m (Lukaku – 8.8m and Giroud – 8.6m), and offer a near guarantee of 90 minutes every week, you have to start wondering why you’d waste that extra budget on the Spaniard.

    Could Negredo bang in three goals against Cardiff this week? Absolutely. Unfortunately, if I’m going to spend nearly 10m on a player, the bare minimum I expect is for him to play 90 minutes every week. Fantasy Premier League is a marathon, not a sprint. I’m looking for long term, consistent rewards for a reasonable price and Negredo isn’t giving to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,278 ✭✭✭x43r0


    I couldn't decide between leaving in Negredo for this week and swapping out for Aguero after or just making the switch now


    Instead I've got both and doubled up for the Cardiff game in the hope that it's a massacre.

    Will drop Negredo next week when I play the WC


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,575 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    that article didn't tell me anything that many of us didn't already know.

    the majority, I vouch, are holding Negredo for one more week in the hope that he starts one more.

    he's not a premium FF striker. Aguero is patently City's number 1.

    Sums up my last 2 months. And this week.

    Lol.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 378 ✭✭John83


    Need some selection advice on my defense please. Going with three at the back and the ones in bold below are my current selection. I keep second guessing my selections. I have Lallana and J-Rod playing against Mannone. And then I have Shaw selected as well. Is that too many eggs in the Southampton basket (especially with the events there this week)?

    :confused:

    Keepers:
    Mannone - SOU (H)
    McGregor - NOR (A)

    Defenders:
    Martin Olsson - HUL (H)
    Shaw - SUN (A)
    Sagna - FUL (H)
    Ward - STK (H)
    Chester - NOR (A)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    I don't care what Aguero does this week, he was a blocker against my rival.

    All eyes are on the differentials this week, of which Lukaku is number 1! If ever I needed him to work his magic it's now. I'll probably lose £0.1 on him tonight aswell. One goal in 8 games is not good enough for a striker at a club that are scoring goals. Luckily he's been picking up an assist every other game so we're scraping by, but a hat-trick would be more than welcome.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,268 ✭✭✭IsMiseMyself


    Anyone taking a punt on Gnabry this weekend?

    I'm half considering downgraded Sterling to him to free up a bit of cash. Can't imagine Sterling will be banking many points any more given he's very hit-and-miss and he won't be doing much starting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,593 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    I'm tempted to stick with Negredo, even if he's not getting a full 90 every week. His record stands up to the others, will be a nice differential now that Aguero is back, and with the sheer amount of goals City are scoring, he's likely to continue with his returns, I'd say.

    Yeah I think a lot of people are influenced by the Blackburn cup games (where he would likely have scored 7 and 11) and the West Ham cup game (where he would likely have scored 17)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 61 ✭✭biscuits1988


    I see Matic is in for Chelsea at 6.0. Any opinions one way or the other? I know Chelsea's midfield is a minefield at the best of times, but were he to play is he attack minded or more of a holding midfielder?

    Absolutely, and it'd be foolish not to take them into consideration.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,734 ✭✭✭zarquon


    Absolutely, and it'd be foolish not to take them into consideration.

    His returns are pretty good, enough to consider keeping him for at least one more game. I have a concern that Aguero will get limited time this weekend either by subbing off or coming on as a sub. Negredo will get more game time as he was taken off early for Aguero during the week. So for me it's Negredo for at least one more GW and then upgrade to Aguero once he is firing on all cylinders.

    He's very much a defensive mid, wouldn't be great for fpl imo.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,249 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    Current team for this GW.
    Mignolet
    Baines - Mertesacker - Ward
    Lallana - Hazard - Silva - Wilshire
    Aguero - Suarez - Adebayor


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    Good team except for Mignolet

    Liverpool face Villa (H) - I'd fancy Mig's chances of a CS. I hope they concede though! I have Mannone and don't fancy his chances of keeping the Saints at bay. FutureGuy - Did you do Ozil, Toure, J-Rod for Lallana, Wilshere, Aguero?

    You're a mad one for the points hits, almost 50 points in 7 weeks!

    You're a mad one for the points hits, almost 50 points in 7 weeks!

    That's pretty severe even for me, but I'd be over 40 points further back had I not taken those hits - that's how bad my Christmas has been!

    I took this hit with the intention of WCing this week - Aguero, Wilshire were rising last night and yaya was falling so it was a 0.3m swing. Almost certain I still will WC but I'd be happy enough to take that hit. Ozil looks jaded, Yaya will now be off penaties which reduces his appeal, and Rodriguez, who I like, has to be a sacrificial lamb for Aguero.

    I have to make certain decisions to claw my way back. There are a few very strong differentials that I can jump on.

    You should see my injury list over the last few weeks man. This is one of the first times I have thought about point hits for better players, not to get out injured players!

    To Wild card or not, already used sub this week
    Team
    1. Szercerny
    2.Shawcross
    3.Evra
    4.Coleman
    5.Fernandinho
    6.Hazard
    7.Ozil
    8.Huddlestone
    9.Welbeck
    10.Rodriguez
    11.Suarez Capt

    Subs:
    Marshall,Whittingham, Turner, Demel

    Evra is a doubt, whereas the Cardiff boys could get a lot of points against tempted by Mertisaker for Evra and take -4 and hold on to the wildcard for next week.

    I'd personally think 3 from southampton is a bit much. Maybe Lallana to Ericsson or Jay Rod to someone equally affordable? Welbeck? Ade? Southampton's clean sheets should pick up after their difficult Christmas period. Getting Clyne in instead might save a bit of cash if you really needed it though, i reckon he's a bit better for attacking returns than Shaw too (though chambers could battle him for a place)

    Lack of Everton defensive cover would be a bit of a worry as they're likely to get plenty more clean sheets this season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    In a somewhat against the grain move this week I will be bringing in Ozil...for Arteta :O

    With Rooney confirmed out I either go with Aguero or Giroud for -4. That way I probably field 11 and may even have AJ as a sub. I hope Sterling plays or at the very least has a profitable 30 mins.

    Team for the week:

    Mignolet (H)

    Coleman(A)
    Terry(H)
    Chester(A)

    Yaya (H)
    Ozil(H)----Wilshere(H)----Sterling(H)

    Suarez(c)(H)
    Giroud(H)
    Negredo(H)



    McGregor, Lallana, Clyne, Vlaar


    Decisions for me are:
    - To start Sterling ahead of Lallana....Sturridge returning could result in a Sterling cameo for 20 mins.
    - To go with Chester or Clyne (currently siding with Chester).

    Nice seeing 9 of your 11 playing at home mind.
