Continuing our round-up of the Christmas period, it’s time to treat our members to a series of articles which examines each of the positions and analyses the form of the key protagonists over the past four Gameweeks. We start in defence, by casting an eye over the top tens for our ICT Index, plus a more in-depth look at the main performers in terms of goal threat and creativity….
Using a similar strategy myself. Really want to save my wildcard for after the DGWs.
Open Controls
Yeah me too. Last thing you want is a wildcard team full of players you don't want! Hard to know who from Chelsea actually have a dgw anyway.
Open Controls
Very nice. I think I'm going -4 to get Mata.
3 for the first DGW and 5 for the second. WC after.Open ControlsNoice. If a hit for anyone is worth it it's gotta be Mata.
Open Controls
Guys im tempted to do Stalin> Adolf Hitler(C)
This is of course for DFW (Double front week), but im still trying to determine if the russian winter will have an adverse effect on my points collection, there is also added risk of the 'Stalingrad effect'
Keep stalin?Open Controls
Ideas for this lot?
Jaaskelainen • Begovic
Shorey • Harte • Cuellar • Nelsen • Hughes
Walcott • Puncheon • Mata • Bale • Michu
Suarez • Van Persie • Berbatov
2 FT, £0.5m in the bank.
Only obvious thing is a GK change. Defence is in shambles. Could get Azpi & Turnbull for a keeper & Cuellar, Worth it?
Any other ideas?Open Controls
Who would you keep out of Jussi and Bego? Bego, I'm assuming? In that case, who will replace Turnbull in the long term to rotate with Bego?
Open ControlsProbably sell Bego & get Wilson or whoever come WC. Jussi has his DGW.
Open Controls
Can you get Ba and azpili in somehow?
Open ControlsYes, those two frees look good TM.
Open Controls
Very similar to mine TM. Fancy a punt of Azpi for Cuellar and Ba for Berba or can you afford it?
Open Controls
I have same keepers and I'm sticking with them. But, I guess it's the only way to get Chelsea deffender. In that case Bego out, as Jussi has DGW next. Also, why both Shorey and Harte?
Open ControlsNeeded a defender a few gws back & Harte filled the bill. Played twice for 5 & 4. Covered some Reading defence too or attack.
Open Controls
Did you see that Nelsen is probably leaving during the transfer window?
Open ControlsWHAT?
Open Controls- Open Controls
Rank these players in terms of how well they'll do this GW: Berbatov, Benteke, Ba, Chicharito and Lambert.
Open Controls
What's the latest on Cuellar and O'Brien's injuries?
Open Controls
Just gone WC crazy. Can I please get an RMT. This team gives me a 6 week score of 331 on the FFS RMT tool. Don't know if I should place any significance on that or not.
http://i.imgur.com/Rd4L3.pngOpen ControlsDon't like it.
Open Controls
Mata instead of Hazard and I'm not sure Pienaar is worth it
Open Controls
shocked...is the RMT tool seriously that bad...captain Demba???...how many minutes are they predicting for him
Open ControlsDon't see minutes. They have Ba/Hazard on 8.2/8.5 points and RVP on 5.4.
Open Controlswhat about Torres though? we need to add Ba + Torres and divide by 2 to try to get a feel whether we agree
Open Controls7.5 per match seems an awful lot to me...Ba is on fire but Torres has been struggling for a long time...they both play together but I doubt there'll be much of that
but it's the captaining of Demba that I'm trying to ask you about...what are the projections for gw22?Open Controls
There's a player in FPL who has played 8 games this season and 561 minutes altogether yet he is still on ZERO points.
Without cheating name that player. 🙂Open Controlswe have a winner!
😯Open Controls
The Sothampton keeper..Gazzinga
Open Controlsyep, yet to score more than 1 point in a game and one three occasions got minus points
Open Controls
The keeper guess gave me an idea. Has to be a reading defender. Marriappa?
Open Controls
Hooiveld
Open ControlsShay Given?
Open ControlsHoiveld.
Open ControlsI thought he's still on minus 1
Open Controls
Davies? Southampton keeper?
Open ControlsHe has 2 penalty saved
Silva and RVP.Open Controls
Artur Boruc?
Open Controls
Just wilcarded.
Does anyone think I'm looking too much into the 2 DGWs?
Jaskelainen / Begovic
Demel / Luiz / Gibbs / Cameron / Nelsen
Puncheon / Walcott / Mata / Fellaini / Michu
Lambert / Ba / Van PersieOpen ControlsNelsen might be off to the States http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20920097
Open Controls
Do the transfers that you make on your WC count towards your total transfers?
Open ControlsNope.
Open Controls
is Mata / Hazard a must for the Dwk ? or i can just pass whithout 'em ,, i got Tacobell - Luiz - Ba
Open Controls
you decide that my friend, they may well be
Open Controls
He probably won't play, but if Suarez were to get a yellow against Mansfield he'd be suspended for United right?
Open ControlsI don't think he's on 9 yet, in fact I'd highly doubt he's on 9 yellows. It's either 7 or 8
Open ControlsHe's on 7. Thought next was after another 3 (so 8), but maybe I misremember the rules. You're probably right it's 10.
Open ControlsAye. It's 10.
"If a player accumulates five cautions between the opening day of the playing season and 31 December in the same season, he will be suspended automatically for one match.
If a player accumulates ten cautions between the opening day of the playing season and the second Sunday of April in the same season, he will be suspended automatically for two matches."Open Controls
evening gents,
how does this look for the WC (post DGW 23)
Bego Turnby
Jones Gibbs Jones(Wbrom) rafa davies demel
Fellaini Walc Bale Mata Cole
VP Sturridge Dzeko
Anything you would change?Open Controls
Repost from earlier:
Which one of these for the DGW?
A) Ivanovic & Luiz
B) Luiz & Hazard
C) Ivanovic & Hazard
Already have Mata. Thanks 🙂Open Controlsdef B, sorry didn't read the Mata part of your post
Open ControlsThanks man
Open Controls
I have no idea because the uncertainty principle states that rafatation is even more unpredictable than unobserved sub-atomic particles.
If you're presuming they all have a dgw then BOpen ControlsThanks
Open Controls
So no hits, I'm going with this
Turnbull
Gibbs Cuellar Shorey
Mata (c) Punchy Bale Walcott
Suarez Rvp Berbatov
Foster Taarabt Demel Davies
Enough in the bank for Berbs -> Podolski next week. Coolio?Open ControlsCuellar is apparently injured. Limped off today. Possible hammy.
Open ControlsYeah waiting for news on that. Will probably just let auto subs take care of it though.
Open Controls
I like it but Cuellar might be injured and Shorey may not play. At least you have Demel and Davies to fill in though.
Open ControlsYeah cheers, worst case those two will come in. I'm pretty much expecting Shorey won't play but if he does he could do some damage. I'll fix my flimsy defence with wc in gw 24.
Open Controls
Sadly I only have Puncheon for the Dgw22. Is that worthing bringing Mata and Turnbull in for Silva and Jussi for a -4 hit?
Open Controls
No Chelsea, no Southampton....
Got the dgw blues... 🙁Open ControlsIts called WC.....
Open ControlsGood luck in the Cup.
Open ControlsThanks, Che dgw is a mare though....
Open ControlsI would get coverage or it could be similar to GW1. If the Cup wasn't on what would you do?
Open Controls
Silva -> Mata (c). Easy peezy, WR.
Open Controls
Seriously Tempted for Ba(C) over RVP(C)
Open Controlsyea me too man
Open Controls
Begovic / Ruddy
Demel / Cuellar / Gibbs / Cameron / Enrique
Walcott / Mata / Fellaini / Michu / Sterling
Berbatov / Fletcher / Van Persie
2FT £1m in bank...
Ruddy & Enrique > Turnbull & Luiz?Open Controls
Begovic ---> Jaask even though i'll lose money if/when I get Begovic back? (£0.2m)
Open ControlsWait a GW. He might get injured.
Open Controlsthanks, WC looking ok? http://gyazo.com/6f109f1957b42f45f1a735e56b24c7b3
Open Controls
Would you have 2 Chelsea defensive assets (Turnbull + Luiz) and 1 attacking asset (Mata) or 1 defensive asset (Turnbull/Luiz) and 2 attacking assets (Mata +Hazard/Ba) for the DGW?
Open Controls
Firstly, Rate my Team is excellent for DGW WCing.
Anyone do better than this?
Turnbull (beg)
Reid Demel Shawx Sagna Fonte
Hazard Mata Michu Walcott Puncheon
RvP Suarez Lambart
Gives full list of DGW players for -4
Haz to Caz
turnbull to Jaas (-4)
To fix up over next couple weeks
Lamb to Berb
Caz to Bale/Fellani
Any issues?Open ControlsWho are the most likely Chelsea players to start both the DGW games? Any opinions appreciated!
Open ControlsBale will destroy QPR! Right?
Open ControlsI'm in....
Open Controls
+ billions.
Open Controls
SWP will destroy Spurs...form over fixtures
Open ControlsNo
Open Controls
Wouldn't be surprised, looked good in the FA cup from all reports, another goal and 2 assists
Open Controls
How about this?
Begovic - Federici
Azpilicueta* - Sagna* - Davies - Demel - Shaw*
Mata* - Ramirez* - Walcott* - Bale - Michu
RVP - Suarez - Ba*
Then for GW23, Ramirez+Ba to J.Cole + Podolski for a -4
3 Chelsea/2 SOT, 3 Arsenal/2 WHU, maintains a core of Bale-Mata-Michu-RVP-SuarezOpen Controls
those with 4 chelsea players - because of BA going to chelsea what are you guys doing or recommend?
I know that you can only have 3 players from one team but if i did nothing what woukd FPL do? remove / flag one of my players?Open ControlsNext time you make a transfer one of them has to go
Open Controls
Baines > a good value or a fraud ?? in other words Baines or can just manage with Howard ??
Open Controlshorrendous value, elite stats. I'd go Distin or Jags to save money if you like their chances of some CS over the next 6. Unless of course you decide to go for 4 uber cheap defenders so you can afford to have Baines long term.
Open Controls
In case you didn't see this above: "Harry Redknapp fears Ryan Nelsen will leave QPR" http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20920097
Open Controls
11 years, 4 months agoRight I'm sorted. Mig -> Turnbull gives me just enough in the bank to do Berbs -> Podolski next week.
So for the dgw's I'll have Turnbull, Mata, Punch & Demel, Gibbs, Walcott, Podolski. No hits, no wildcard used. Happy days.
