He had 3 shots on target vs Liverpool.

He had 0 shots on target in the 5 matches before that.

For last 6 matches he has 10 attempts, 9 of them from outside the box, 3 on target (in the Liverpool game). He has touched the ball in the opposition box 3 times in the 6 matches.

He is bench fodder lads, and as Ziegler say its just annoying not to have squeezed the bit of team value out of him before people realised this.

Well, that puts the Capoue discussion to bed:D

dr.kenneth noisewater

Ok so Capoue has to go but what do people think of Moses as a replacement?

Bleating Lamb

How much value has Capoue lost from his high point?

I don't think I'll ever pick a Reverse OOP midfielder, you could also argue going treble Chelsea (Costa, Haz, defender) which Moses blocks.

5.3m, I believe

Bleating Lamb

Thinking of shipping out Capoue....have Firmino and Coutinho....toying with idea of in form Can in as well for another Pool mid as my bench fodder.....or as a starter when they have best fixtures....would that be overkill?....he's most 'in form ' lad in that price bracket.

Capoue is still the best 4.5 mid I'm not overly concerned with him dropping. I'd prefer him to be subbed in instead of the likes of carrick Glenn whelan etc. The problem is if you have him as your 4th mid.

What would you think of Can?....he's 4.8 m.

Ya ideally I'd like to have cashed in on him but always had a more pressing transfer. At this stage, he can stay there for the rest of the season unless I switch to 3-5-2.

Yeah but id you'd cashed out at the optimum time for de Roon or Whelan for example you'd have had an extra 0.6m or 0.5m to spend elsewhere. Worth more that a slightly higher chance of more than 3 points the one time in ten you need him to autosub in IMO.

If I wasn't constantly needing a transfers a week he'd be long gone. If I don't get him gone before he drops to 4.8 I'll probably end up keeping him for the season. Still 0.4 to be freed up by switching to De Roon now.

dsmythy

Zlatan out. Defoe in.

Alonso in for Lowton is planned next.

Have money after to go Redmond to Coutinho but just have a niggling doubt in my head about him this week.

I got him at 4.6 so I'd made .3 on him. I wouldn't be thinking of the .6 saving as I can still switch and save .4. I've lost .2 since he dropped. I'd still prefer to have him over the extra .2. I reckon I could sell him to go 3 5 2 but I'm not ready to make that decision yet so no regrets. Although I did think of doing capoue to Joe Allen a few weeks back which would've been a nice little earner. Allen would have been my bench player. I like the idea of my bench player having a chance of more than 2 pts.

If he keeps his place he is a decent option as Liverpool don't really play with a holding mid. I wouldn't be keen on having to start him every week though.

Thatsfootball

Currently on a wildcard looking for advice:
Is it worth getting Sanchez/Hazard (already have Costa and Walcott)?

Matic is a decent option as 5th mid too for his price, but would mean no Chelsea defender

Also considering dropping Aguero to beef up midfield, allowing possibly Sanchez and Hazard

Cartman78

Would be interested in feedback on this one...

Keen to get rid of VVD for either Brunt or Lowton....had planned to save the money for a rainy day but the Lallana injury might force my hand.

Is it worth getting rid of Lallana for Firmino for a hit? Or play Capoue and hope Lallana makes it back asap?

wanderer100

Lads I have 1 FT with Lallana and Costa both serious doubts for the weekend. I'm going to wait till tomorrow but who should get the boot

patmac

A lot of people getting rid of defenders, as has been mentioned several times here in the past, it's hard to justify taking a hit as points returns have been poor for defenders in general.

VVD has been a bad investment for me so that's why I'm downgrading.

Ideally would keep Lallana but with Hazard yellow flagged, Allen playing deeper and Capoue...I think it's probably worth the hit for Firmino

Yeah I have taken hits for defenders (can't anymore as I have 2x4.6,4.5,4.3 and a 4.0) to free up cash but wouldn't to a straight swap as not too many outside of Chelsea scoring more than 4 points.
BTW
Front 8 are currently
Mane, Gundogan, Sanchez, Hazard(Capoue)
Kun, Lukaku, Anichibe.
Have 3.3m in the bank was thinking Gundog for Coutinho/Firmino or Capoue to Pedro or save the hit.

Trimm Trabb

Think I'm going Bellerin to Evans.

Puts money ITB which will allow me some flexibility to sort out squad. Would like to go into Christmas period with at least 14 regular starters in my 15 to protect against inevitable rotation and injury.

8-10

Play Capoue. I fully expect Firmino to play, however having come back from playing a game at 2am yesterday morning in Brazil, even if he starts he is surely at risk of not getting 90.

For a FT, yes, but not for a hit. Play Capoue - Lallana isn't out long, and might even make this game

Fant11

Are we confident Brunt wil be a regular starter once Baggies injuries clear up?

I take it he's playing centre mid now.

Also curious on this. I see he is excluded from the west brom team on FFS at the moment.

Ah Christ ! He was going to be my transfer in
Just seen they have nyom left back
If brunt doesn't start midfield he will start there IMO

Mr.Prodston

I haven't logged into my team in more than a week. It's nice to be living in ignorance over all these injuries

Amat & Puncheon > Nyom & Snodgrass....it's been a while since I've had a Pulis defender and it doesn't look like I have missed out on much. Hard to know why I have gone back to the Temple of Tony...probably the upcoming next fixtures.

Leaves me with:

Pickford
Nyom, Walker, Cameron
Sanchez, Coutinho, Firmino, Snodgrass
Aguero, Austin, Lukaku (C)

With doubts over Cameron, Coutinho, maybe Firmino and Capoue my only available sub, I am expecting a difficult week.

Father Hernandez

Pieters in for Lovren

Foster

McCauley Stones Pieters

Coutinho Firmino Sanchez Snodgrass

Bentekkers Aguero Lukaku (C)

(Pickford, Capoue, Amat, Holebas)

If West Brom can somehow keep a CS, I think I could have a good week.

bezuaua

Is Nyom a definite starter?

NabyLadistheman

Im screwed. Holebas & Smith suspendend...Major dounts over Cout/Haz/Sanchez..And to add insult to injury i'm on a -4 already!

Hazard not a doubt.
Coutinho a minor doubt.
Sanchez a very minor doubt.

Exactly that!

Pickford | Given:eek:
Williams | Evans | Amat | Holebas | Marc Wilson:eek:
Hazard | Sanchez | Firmino | Gundogan | Allen
Aguero | Lukaku | Benteke

1FT and 0.3 itb.
Would it be wise swapping Wilson (4.0) »» Nyom (4.3) and pray for a WBA cleanie against burnley?

Otherwise play 10 (I fear Amat can get in with negative points…) and save transfer to reshuffle defense next week?

Scorpion Sting

Walcott's wife is due to give birth so he may miss the game. Dunno whether to get rid or not.

km79

I can't even risk AOA now
decimated

is there any particular reason Brunt is down as not starting on FFs??????? if i sign him he has to start

Dempsey

Heaton/Pickford

Kingsley, Amat, Evans, Walker, Coleman

Firmino, Walcott, Sterling, Capoue, Allen

Costa, Aguero, Lukaku

2FT's & 0.5m in the bank

Where do I improve this squad?

I expect him to start, either in place of Chadli or as left-back in place of Nyom.

dr.kenneth noisewater

Gamble on Moses in for Hjoberg. He's been stinking up my bench for weeks. Hopefully Sanchez and Coutinho are ok to play

NabyLadistheman

I wonder is there any chance of Amat winning his place back?!

I wouls hold for this week and then look at getting Coleman and Allen upgraded - maybe involving Lukaku too to generate more cash.

I don't think they'll get beaten well. Bradley has focused his tactics on keeping things tight and Everton haven't exactly been setting the world alight recently.

Suarezistheman wrote: »

There is a chance yes - all Swansea's defensive sports are up for grabs except for Naughton at RB. Personally I think he awful - the worst of their options so shouldn't but its a close call.

bantee wrote: »

I'm doing the same, no point starting Amat on the outside chance he might start and then leaving a mid on the bench who could potentially return points.

Unbeaten at home with an in form Lukaku. Can't see a CS maybe concede 2 or 3

Trimm Trabb

Dempsey wrote: »

Didn't spot yoy had 2FT's.

Personally would sell Capoue for a 4.3m as I like to have all my TV on the pitch. If not maybe Amat to Evans with WBA's upcoming fixtures - n reason to ship out any of your big hitters. I would recommend Coutinho next week though.

In his 4 games in charge, they conceed 3 goals in 3 of them (Utd, Arsenal and Stoke) and 0-0 to Watford. Everton have scored 4 goals over those 4 gameweeks (one game which was a blank).

Could go either way I guess but anytime I've seen Swansea live, they look like horse****. I think it will depend on which Everton turn up more so than Swansea being tight at the back.
