Does anyone know the clean sheet odds for the following teams:

Burnley
Swansea
Sunderland
Leicester
WBA

I'm in work trying to pick my team for the weekend and haven't access to betting sites. I need to pick 3 defenders from Duff, Taylor, van Aanholt, Moore and Wisdom.

kind of a transfer question........

what is the total value of your defence ?

mine is 24.1 ( average of 4.82) , and starting to feel thats a bit pricey, so wanted to know how much most people have tied up in it ?

Is Ward-Prowse liable to drop now, or will he be protected?

Players don't become protected till they're back available.

What luck has he gotten?

He's playing as the main forward for an inform Southampton team with a strong run of games getting support from Tadic, Long, Schneiderlin and soon Mane too. Plus Clyne and Bertrand from Fullback who seem intent on pushing forwards

You're spot on!

miller82

Clyne worth the extra .2 over Bertrand ?

Making that same decision this week. I don't think so.

I think Clyne is a bigger goal threat but Bertrand is getting in a lot more crosses so he'll probably get more assists. It's close but I think I'd go with Bertrand and pocket the 0.2.

Flecktarn

Pellè or Welbeck?

Not great with odds like that but from the above should I be going with Swansea, WBA and one from Sunderland/Leicester?

If money is tight then people who havent got him have missed the boat and might as well go with Bertrand.

I dont believe in heat maps and stats very much. They are indicative but ultimately not much use imho. Some will say Bertrand is getting up the pitch more, more crosses or whatever but if you're not watching games then you wont get the real picture.

A heat map wont tell you where Clyne was when Wanyama scored v Swans. He never got the ball but he was on the edge of Swans box 6 yards out. Over the last few games Clyne could have had way more points, it just didnt fall right, that changes quickly. He is playing great right now imo.

I'd consider Bertrand a cheap blocker on rivals who have Clyne. I'd say theres quite a few considering both tbh.

Ive two free transfers this week and not sure what to do.

My first transfer is to get rid of Lamela but im not sure who to bring in. Already have siggy, ramsey, sterling and Fabs. I want to bring in someone cheaper. Anyone got any ideas? Im thinking either Chadli who has poor enough run of games, or Schneiderlin who may play a little deeper.

My second thing is I really want to bring in Di Maria but it can only really be for Ramsey or Sterling.

Last but not least I have Naismith and really need to get rid. Thinking either Ulloa or Welbeck.

Anyone any suggestions on any of the above?

AidySevenfold

I took a 4 point hit - Campbell for Ulloa and Janmaat for Bertrand.

Even though Campbell scored v Everton he was doing very little and bar Janmaats goal he's done nothing. No clean sheets and Newcastle don't look like they are gonna keep any for a while.
Was tempted to take Lovren but will keep him another few weeks. Liverpool have some nice fixtures coming up but if no clean sheets are kept he's coming out.

Ulloa was almost taken in last week but decided against it. thankfully won both head to heads by 1 point!!

I'd consider Arfield for Lamela he is the most likely burnley player to be involved in goals and will be on pens till ings is back. He is a bandwagon waiting to take off imo. That will give u the money for wellbeck.

Mr.Prodston

I think we all know the key to the Clyne/Bertrand debate is for Bertrand to get injured and Targett to come in for the low low price of 3.9.

MT 2.0 will have his day in the sun this season, sometime, maybe

I can afford to sell Lamela and bring in anyone 7million and under and upgrade Naismith to Welbeck.

My predicament is Who is the best option for 7million (outside of Siggy) and is Welbeck a better choice that Ulloa considering Arsenal have Spurs and Chelsea up next.


Am I mad to be considering Di Maria in for one of Ramsey/Sterling??

EDIT:

Im heading over for the merseyside derby so im trying to get this all done tonight. Now Im thinking....

Rooney to Welbeck
Lamela to Di Maria

OR

Lamela to Schneiderlin
Naismith to Welbeck

2 free transfers used.

Could go boring transfer in Krul to Forster or Mannone. What to do what to do....

Mr.Prodston

How crazy would De Gea -> Forster and Ramsey -> Hazard for -8 be?

Or should I just suppress this crazy along with all the crazy I've already suppressed this season. I guess I'd better think about it for a while anyway but it might solve my Ramsey->Sterling transfer that I don't seem to want to make :pac:

I'm in an equally crazy mood. Contemplating Pelle and DiMaria in for Rooney and Ramsey.

I'd definitely go Ramsey to Sterling before Hazard.

How Soon Is Now

Best keeper to replace De Gea for 5.5 ?

Already have Burnley Southampton Stoke and Swansea and Leicester defenders.

Rooney to wellbeck and Lamela to Di maria sounds good. Who do you bench every wk it sounds like you have 8 strong attacking options something I'm not a fan of personally but it's easily affordable at the minute.

I'd be the opposite I reckon it's only a matter of time before hazard posts a big score and would love to have him in my team just can't manage it this week.Mr P not sure it's worth a - 8 this week however I think hazard will be especially if he is still on pens the highest scoring mid in the game.

I've had Hazard since my pre week three wildcard and I'm not yet in the least bit tempted to ship him out yet, I agree that he is likely to be top scoring mid, just wish Chelsea would get a pen with Haz and Costa on the field so we'll know for sure, that is a big part of his appeal

I dunno what to do about Rooney been hearing hes being moved back a bit in formation is making think its time to cash in. At the same time hes likely to be involved in the action as he normally is.

Its hard to know but Pelle and Ulloa are both possible options.

Do you have Fabregas?

I think Hazard could make hay over the next 2 weeks against Villa and Arsenal with yellow card happy Chambers at RB.

Going -8 by doubling up on Saints defenders and tripling up on Chelsea's attack could be a dangerous maneuver though. Can't drop Fab or Costa though.

I also need to work out if my reluctance over Sterling is some crazy notion that last year's Mr.P would have had or this year's more savvy Mr.P would have.

Please Mr Rooney, prove the doubters wrong against west ham :pac:

this and Henderson to Sterling are the substitutions I need to make but I refuse to cook my WC or take -8 to make it happen so it's ramsey to di maria this week and I'll probably be kicking myself but such is the beauty of FF.

I have your Sterling reluctance with regard to Fab (similar with Di Maria). I personally don't think Fabregas or DiMaria will score enough goals to compete with Hazard as my number 1 midfielder.
My team value has suffered terribly due to not climbing on bandwagons that I think are going nowhere, Dier, Fab , Naismith and DiMaria have never even entered my thoughts, neither does Ulloa at the moment.

I'm sticking to my principals generally speaking, I'll win this whole thing one of these years what with my acumen for picking em:pac::o

I think we would all agree that I was an idiot not to have Yaya at any point last year? My principals got me nowhere. Although I still think 160k was quite the achievement without him

I think Fabregas could be this year's Yaya. He may not get as many goals as Hazard by the end of the season but if he keeps chipping away with an assist or 2 most weeks then it's hard to combat that. It's the consistency of the returns that will kill you. It shouldn't be quite as catastrophic as Yaya but it makes things difficult. Di Maria remains to be seen I guess but I'd rather be with him than against him just now. These are much more dangerous than Dier and the likes.

I love a punt but I think the way the game has gone last season and this season (despite it only being in it's infancy) especially it's important not to get left behind. I think I said a few weeks ago that you can't win the game in the first few months but you can lose it. Although it's easy to say this when I've had my best start ever by a country mile. In saying that I don't know how to handle this situation as it's so alien as is my approach this year :pac: I played too safe last week not taking a hit and it cost me even greater gains. This has most likely turned into waffle at this point so I'll stop

Oh and I'm sure I'll find my principals before Christmas is out, only so long I'll be able to contain myself :pac:

FrClintPower

I had two FTs coming into this week and have already done Gerrard to Di Maria (doubling up on Liverpool midfielders with the wildcard seemed like a good idea at the time). So my current midfield is -

Siggy - Di Maria - Ramsey - Sterling - Boyd

I have 0.5m in the bank and I'm worried about not having Fabregas who looks like he's going to go up again tonight. Tempted to go Ramsey to Fab, wise move?

Very, imo.

Fabregas and Costa are very much two must haves, imo.
One will feed the other, a lot.

Have already gone with ADM / Ulloa for Ramsey / Naismith.

I'm considering a -4 hit to do one of the following:

1. Get Forster in for DDG
2. Get Clyne in for Pieters/Terry
3. Get Pelle in for Rooney

Which is the more sensible option? I have no faith in DDG especially with their defensive injuries (and their performances generally); which is why I have it as number 1. But mathematically it doesn't make much sense to take a -4 hit on a keeper. The most I'll gain is 1 or 2 save points.



GAH ... HELP! Are any of those transfers worth -4?

If taking a minus 4 it's more of a long term decision. Do you think over the next 6 gws Forster will outscore ddg by more than 4 pts if so make the transfer.

I'd be confident of starting Forster in 6 of next 7 GWs.
If Utd had a full defense, I'd be confident of starting DDG in 3 of the next 7. They don't.

I guess that answers my question

I then have 7 weeks to figure out what to do regarding a sub keeper that actually plays; before Forster comes up against Utd, City and Arsenal.

They are at home to Villa, Newcastle and away to QPR at the same time as Forsters tough fixtures.

That would be my thinking of it aswell. I also took a hit to get in Forster this week.

Benimar

Thinking I may need to take a hit.

I have Rooney (playing deep), Austin (dropping like a stone), Collocini and Ramsey. I have 2FTs but not enough cash to do Ramsey & Austin to ADM and Ulloa, nor Rooney to Aguero.

Decision, decisions.
