I haven't seen much from Swansea this year but I've seen a huge lot of both in ligue 1.Anyone seen much of Swansea this year? Thoughts on opting for Ayew or Gomis?
I'd rate A. Ayew a lot more than Gomis as a footballer. He has more talent and has been a lot more central to his team than Gomis (and we can actually compare them well since OM & OL are about the same standard). Full stop.
But FPL-wise Gomis may be better value now. Outside Agüero, there is no stand out forward this year. Gomis at £7.0m had a great start, has good fixtures coming and a team doing well with good midfielders behind him to pass him the ball (e.g. Montero, Ayew, Siggy). He's also not too cheap so that an upgrade to the £8.0m-£9.0m range is not a huge task.
On the other hand, Ayew who's also good enough value at £7.0m faces a much larger and tougher competition. Because let's face it what's the ideal midfield? If you go 3-5-2: Silva-Sanchez-Mahrez and 2 from Depay, Mata, Payet, Cabaye, Eriksen, Chadli, Coutinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum and Ayew. And if you go 3-4-3 you drop one of the above list to a £4.5m bench fodder. In addition, if you get Ayew, you take Gomis out of the forwards possibilities assuming that both would be Swansea overkill (at least for now). And I repeat I feel Gomis offers more value now than Ayew. Let's say for example that you want United coverage, is Rooney-Ayew really worth the extra £2.0m from Depay/Mata-Gomis? I'm really not sure.
So to conclude, I'd say that if you play 3-4-3 Gomis >>> Ayew but if you go for 3-5-2 then Ayew could be a good option since you should be Ok finding 1 midprice (or premium) forward to go alongside Aguero.

I think Gomis has looked really good since taking Bony's place, I think he has something like 8 goals in last 9 games. Was he always that good or has he improved since breaking into the team?
I have Ayew and Gomis in my wild card team at the moment, I dont agree with the overkill idea. If you think both are good options individually then I dont see the logic in saying having both is overkill.0 -

Any views on this WC team would be appreciated:
Myhill McCarthy
Richards Williams Gomez Darmian Kompany
Mahrez Barkley Yaya Payet Sanchez
Aguero Diouf Gomis
Anything left in the bank ?
It's a nicely balanced side based on current performers and allows you to swap between a 3-5-2 and a 3-4-3 when you want.
I'd have slight concerns over Barkleys run of games as Everton have some tough fixtures coming up but it looks like he has a hand in pretty much all the attacking play for Everton at the moment so if they score he should be involved somewhere in it.

Yeah, Barkley is a pain. Such good form(player & team) but such bad fixtures...0 -
