Good luck for GW21 from all at FF247!
Sturridge is a must-have now he’s not injured! Especially at 9.1m. No matter that we all have Suarez already. Quite apart from today’s performance (9pts from 25min) Sturridge is ranked overall 4th in pts/game out of all players this season, that’s ahead of every midfielder and behind only Suarez, Aguero and Rooney.
Wildcard team. Any comments?
Mannone Kelvin Davis
Coleman Chester Ward Sagna. Mertesacker
Silva Eriksen Hazard Yaya Johnson
Suárez Agüero Sturbridge
Ramsey, Gerard, lallana or cabaye could come in for Erik or others if nec. Now or later.
Whatcha think?
Thanks!
J.
I’ll have a fast look because I have to go to bed. Take a better look on another day if I can.
No to Davis (Boruc will return soonish). Doube Arsenal cover is crazy, I’d stick with Merte. Defense doesn’t look solid enough mate, would pick 3 class A defenders and certainly not 2 from 1 team.
Furthermore your team looks tight. Now off for bed, cya.
Thanks.
Davis. Just cos he’s cheap. And may even rise.
I have 3 defenders. I’ll swap out an arsenal one in a few weeks.
(Sagna)
I only play 3 usually but think the two spares are solid backups off the bench.
Looks good James,keep an eye on Yaya as currently injured!!Wouldn’t have Sturridge,Suarez and Gerrard either!! No room for Arsenal offensive player rather than double defence?!??!
Cheers mate.
Only two pool players for now.
But two or even three has worked great for me before.
Yes, I’d like to bring in Ramsey. If he’s back on form.
James
Your not hitting wc button yet mate? 69 points with mert and sagna to play? 😉
Seriously tho, team looks solid. Not a fan of doubling up on city midfielders, but both class, so my argument fades!
Thanks!
Unsure. Am tempted.
This team could reap benefits for a while IMO.
Agree re doubling up in theory.
And with ignoring the rules when it suites us!
Jimbo,
1) Kelvin Davis ain’t playing now, but you know that. I get it’s just a price thing, just not sure having the Sunderland keeper as your only stopper is a good idea.
2) I like your defence,…..for the next 3 weeks, then you need to lose either Sagna or Mert.
3) I’d take Ramsey over Eriksen, personally. Thinking bout it, do you really want those 5 mids? No cheapie? Surely there’s your gap. Lose a mid, get a cheapie and sort your keepers out.
Thanks Blue!
Yep. Would swap out Sagna in a few weeks
RMsey could work over Erik, but Erik is healthy and on fire right now.
My fifth mid is only 4m. No spare meat on that bone!
Hey fellas….
From 17 pts behind my opponent yesterday i Made it through the cup… Yippee .
Anyway WC active so I got my tinker going on…
Mannone / mcgregor
Coleman / Sagna / Azpil / Kolorov / Chester
Eriksen / Silva / Lallana / Hazard / Januzaj
Sturridge / Aguero / Suarez
Ok Aguero not back quite yet…but will stick him in anyway…. Use auto sub..!!
Bench… Azpil / Januzaj / Chester / as back up…so may end up 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 till Aguero starts
Your thoughts gents..?
Looks solid mate,all bases covered!!
Cheers peaky..!!
Go with Aguero ?
or stick wiv Negrado for one more week..?
Nice one on the cup win bigpopz!
…I see my optimism shone through..?
Haha seriously though good stuff, I survived too :beer:
Jimbo….
Yep I’m dedicating my cup success down to your “positive waves” this morning… :dance:
Q. Bout my WC team ….do I get Aguero now or leave it another week & stick wiv Negrado ?
I’ve got Negredo for next week! With cash to spare..
..I’d recommend it as I feel he may start on the bench…
In other words, Negredo is safe and in form, so stick mate!
Who Care if GERRARD play in a deeper Role he still going to take Corners,Free Kicks,Penalty,ect !!
Can Anyone Rate My WC Team Please !!!!!
Adrian – Mannone
Jagielka – Sagna – Zabaleta – Ward – Chester
Gerrard – Lallana – Hazard – Silva – KI
Suarez – Negredo – Hooper > Rodriguez in Game Week 24
Who Rotates Well with Mannone ?
£2.3 In The Bank NEGREDO > AGUERO
(Unlimited Transfer) So Suggestion would be Much Appreciate !
Jeet….
Tidy looking team…
In a similar position with Aguero > Negrado option
I’ve going to wait until Wednesday AGUERO said he will play some part in the Blackburn game if he score then he will probably start against Cardiff so he could return with a hat trick ? U never know !! Might be a (c) choose
Boruc rotates well and is a good price ATM.
Defense is v. solid. Midfield is good too – Lallana is still surprising me with great returns.
As for Aguero – maybe wait until press conferences later in the week to decide, Negredo will increase in price until then so you may make an extra 0.1m on him if you wait it out. The switch to Rodriguez should probably be done, he could of scored two at the weekend (probably should have done) and I fancy him to score more than Hooper.
Worried by your lack of Arsenal attacking – maybe swap Gerrard for Ramsey? I know Stevie takes all set pieces but watching the game today he was siting very deep and never looked like scoring points until the penalty.
Is Ramsey even fit ? I’ve keep GERRARD for bit until Ramsey form pick up taking a 2 games punt on Hooper then transfer him out for J.Rod in Game Week 24
Do you think it worth the punt ?
Norwich (H) v Hull City
Norwich (H) v Newcastle
____________________________
Southampton (A) Sunderland
Southampton (H) Arsenal
If Ramsey comes off the bench tomorrow then I’m pretty sure he will start next game. Looking at the fixtures I would maybe keep Gerrard for next week too, as you suggest, Ramsey might need a couple of games to get his form back.
It looks like a worthwhile punt on Hooper based on their opponents, but you have to consider which team is more likely to score and create chances. Toss of a coin on who will return the most points really. Maybe stick with Hooper to save a FT in case of any injury to rest of squad.
Who’s more of a season keeper: Özil or Sturridge?
Sturridge for me better chance for PTS Ozil is inconsistent PTS wise !
Great question!
I would say they will have similar returns. If I didn’t have Giroud/Ramsey, but had Suarez, I would keep Ozil. If I had Arsenal cover already, I would maybe go for Sturridge.
Depends who you have in your team mate!
To have Suarez and Sturridge in same team is risky.
Same as having Ozil and Ramsey on same team or yaya and Silva
Anyway, out of the 2, Ozil!!
Jeet, Stabilo and B-Bash – Thanks for all your feedback! Basically when I play ny future WC I’ll have potentially 14.8m to spend on a midfielder and striker…
…so I could have one or the other, with a really cheap player, or two mid priced options such as Ramsey and.. Rodriguez
