Play Nice Fantasy EPL - 16/17

[SM]

Yes he does, has been on an extended break because of the Euros and eased back in. Will start against Southampton 100%.

I meant so far.

 

[elhadjihenry]

I meant so far.

lol no you didn't, and if you did that's completely irrelevant to how good of an option he is in fantasy so was a stupid point to make.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

You don't really need playing back up if you're comfortable with your starting keeper though.

If they have good fixtures, yes. Playing Foster every week I'm not so sure about, but don't want to spend 5.5 on someone like DDG.

Hmm.

 

[SM]

Yes I did.. He hasn't started any of your first three games so has absolutely no sample size to draw inferences on his fantasy relevance. The players I listed all have far more compelling reasons to be picked.

And as I said he hasn't started any of the first three games because of an extended break from the euros. You said "he doesn't even start" which implies that he isn't first choice. Whether he is the best option is irrelevant to what I'm saying, your statement was wrong.

You're reading way too much into a loose use of words. He hasn't started yet this season. He has no sample to draw from as to whether he'll be any good (didn't he barely score for the second half of last season?). My statement was 100% fact and correct.

I'm reading it as the person you were replying to would read it. He has been in the league for 4 years I think that's enough of a sample size.

Bony hasn't played a single minute this season yet why didn't say the same for him?

Because last I checked Giroud didn't join a new club that would play him in a better role than the one he's at.

How many goals did Giroud score in the league for the second half of last season?

I said it to start with and I'll say it again, you're reading way too much into my comment. I didn't think Arsenal supporters would get so upset about Giroud. Especially from a fantasy perspective.

I'm not upset at all and I don't care what you think of Giroud, I was clarifying your incorrect comment so that other people didn't take it as gospel and base their selections on it.

To anyone considering picking Giroud in fantasy, he will start the majority of games for Arsenal from this point on (injury permitting).

Lol my comment was not incorrect at all, get over yourself. He hasn't started a game this season. FACT.

lol which isn't what you said. You said "he doesn't even start", not "he hasn't started a game so far this season". They are very different statements.

As I said, you're reading too much into a comment that was clearly referring to the start of this season. Of course he started games last season, and will come back into the side.

I notice you ignored my question about how many goals he scored in the second half of last season. That's ok.

 

[Jatz]

If they have good fixtures, yes. Playing Foster every week I'm not so sure about, but don't want to spend 5.5 on someone like DDG.

Hmm.

I've put Adrian in there at 5.0. They have a decent run for a while. Stekelenburg also a good option at 5.0

Like I've already said, I'm not arguing whether or not people should pick Giroud which is why I didn't answer that question. You said something which would lead people to believe Giroud isn't going to start games, I corrected it, end of discussion as far as I'm concerned. If you want to try changing the argument to suit your own point go ahead, I CBF with it anymore.

West Ham definitely have the best run coming up.

 

[Jatz]

West Ham definitely have the best run coming up.

Wouldn't say definitely:

The City game aside, they're pretty even. Everton are also in form too.

West Ham have something like 8 easy games in a row, no one else comes close.

 

[Jatz]

8 games time is largely irrelevant in fantasy. Although even with that, I've posted 7 games there and the Everton run still looks better to me. Not to mention the better form, less injuries etc.

Everton have the 4 easiest next games - you could then swap players from there.

Yeah I'm bringing in Holgate too for that reason, but I'd still say I'd rather have players in who I can leave for longer and not worry about.

Will Holgate keep his spot with Coleman back?

 

[SM]

Will Holgate keep his spot with Coleman back?

Depends, most want him to, but I might shift Holgate back out if Koeman suggests Coleman will come straight back in.

 

[Jatz]

Thought Mane might have been a good idea until I saw his price. Wasn't expecting it to be that high.

This is what I've ended up with:

 

[Jatz]

Actually, I lied.

I can swap Valencia for Targett which means I can upgrade Puncheon to Antonio. Worth doing?

Bertrand possibly back starting this week

Claude Puel confirms that @ryanbertrand3 "could start" in #ARSSOU...
