spock.

I've committed to not getting Walcott until GW13 at the earliest.

So to start Valencia or Amat?

Aguero isn't justifying his price tag either. He has the same points as Ibra and costs almost 2 million more.

I know but as I previously posted, you have to look at the detail here.

Ibra played 8 times 90 min. His nonchalance on the pitch is unbearable. If Mourinho is on to park the bus to try and regain a bit of collective confidence, United may not be an interesting FPL prospect upfront at all.

Agüero only played 5 full (and > 60 min) games. He missed a pen in his cameo appearance at the week-end. That happens. In these 5 games, there's an away blank to Spurs. Tough game, that happens too. He plays in a Guardiola team and gives it all on the pitch.

So far, Agüero stats are misleading in my opinion. If there're the same in 5 games (2 tests and 3 easy fixtures), I'll reassess but not now.

I generally like to spread my options but when a team is performing I have no pb in doubling/trebling up (e.g. think I had Sanchez Ramsey Giroud at some point a couple of years ago and it did me good for a period of time).

I'd ask your question differently though. What would you do with these £3+m? Premium def are not justifying enough their premiumity so far. Upfront, Ibra does not justify his price tag too. Ditto Hazard in midfield.

So far and considering the mid-term fixtures, I'd build my team around Sanchez Walcott 'Pool mid Agüero. Because these 4 players not only are good and have good FPL history but they play in attack-minded teams that are going to score goals. Of course there're gonna be GWs when it'll all conspire (peno miss, play against Mourinho bus, post int break fatigue, be the only attacking player not to be involved, etc...).
So, If I had to sacrifice some £, I'd start with the other 11 players of the squad .

Now, for Arsenal 2 tough games (TOT, mun), the good thing is City offer MID, cpl. So a Sanchez -> KDB or Walcott -> Sterling for these 2 games could work a treat.

Deeney makes sense, but I don't see the point in wasting 4 points on bringing in Allen. I reckon his latest scoring spree is an aberration and think you would be looking to ship him out before long. Although I did say the same about Capoue after 2 weeks.

Cheers - yeah....leaning more towards Deeney alright....the fact that he's on penos as well makes it a no brainer....oh wait :eek:

Actually might look at a Stoke defender instead....I'm determined to take a hit this week it seems

Contemplating cashing in on Capoue and bringing in Allen for the Hull game.

Also contemplating further on bringing in Deeney (swa, HUL) for Benteke for a hit....Palace have pretty tough fixtures coming up so don't see big returns from him in the short to medium term.

Worth taking a hit for Allen & Deeney?

I know a lot seem to like doubling up with Sanchez and Walcott, but I don't like the idea of investing so much in Arsenal attack....especially with all of the other teams performing so well around them. Also, they have 2 very tough games v Spurs & Man Utd coming up, which leads me to my question....

Is Sanchez worth the extra 3+m over Walcott?

Walcott is in better (fantasy) form, has scored more points and Sanchez doesn't look at his best playing up front. Neither are on set pieces. If you knew nothing about either player's history, you would pick Walcott and 3+m without question.

BUT.....we all know that Walcott has these short very purple veins of form, but rarely maintains it over a season (or even half a season. Sanchez is the superior player and on previous evidence will give more points.

I am looking at the improvements I can make to the rest of my team picking Walcott over Sanchez and it is very tempting to ride the Theo wave while it lasts and hope that Sanchez doesn't go on a ridiculous run.

Anyone else struggling with Theo v Sanchez???

Is it worth doing Son to Walcott for -4. Have only had him a week. Didn't see the game last night was he any good?

I watched the 2nd half and he was poor but then again the whole spurs team bar Rose were shocking in 2nd half. He looked v tired which isn't surprising given the traveling and games he had with Korea.

I think the ship has sailed on Son and he's good run has more or less finished.

Arsenal have a good run of fixtures and Walcott is on better from than Son. I have both but I'm looking at options for Son.

Friend to Clyne at the moment the plan. Capoue to Fletcher or Whelan if he looks like dropping. So Zlatan rides again. May hang on to Burnley game at this rate. Don't worry Friend you'll be back in my team after you get through your next few toughies.

Already did Baines to Holebas to free up funds. Is it worth doing Son to Walcott for -4. Have only had him a week. Didn't see the game last night was he any good?

He was nonexistent yesterday but isn't there history that pacy wingers do well against WBA? I wouldn't lose him this week although personally I don't think he's worth 9m since he's very streaky and has also not been doing well in the bonus when he does score.

I'll be giving him only 1-2 more weeks to prove himself or else I'll be getting him out for Hazard.

It is Allen against a hull team that can't stop the ball going into their own net

Doing Mane to Walcott for a hit just doesn't feel right.

Or am I being too patient with Mane?

Holebas. Never bench a striker on pens

Very hard as I hate benching strikers but with this choice I'd bench Austin.

Goodbye Lamine Kone, you served me remarkably badly.

Hello Dejan Lovren, you have very small boots to fill.

If I want Walcott I can spend up to 4.6 I think but was still considering a 4.3m guy especially if you have a playing fifth def. like Amat say. I think it's a good move.

Just do Kightly, as long as you have a decent 4th defender you'll be fine until Christmas rotation

Cheers fellas, done. Midfield is now:

Firmino Sterling Sanchez Walcott

Great set of fixtures this GW, so I look forward to inevitable crushing disappointment.

Liverpool goalkeepers mig and karius have only 13 saves between them in the 8 gws. After a quick look it seems only courtoius has made less saves 11. You won't be getting many save points off karius . They also have that annoying habit of conceding 1 goal a game despite giving up so few chances.

GetWithIt wrote: »

Hmmm, interesting stat. Suggests they are due a heap of clean sheets. Defenders could be the option. Pithy only Clyne seems guaranteed

Yeah, was just gonna say that if they are conceding few chances maybe with the upcoming fixtures clean sheets may not be far away.

Alternatively with Baines now looking unreliable fitness wise I may go for Lovren and Lloris in a defensive shake up.
