The Big Numbers – Gameweek 27

GW 28 plans :

1. Bench RvP and do JCole>Michu..
2. Find a replacement for RvP..(any1 particular?? already have Studge and Lambert) and bench JCole
3. Stick with RvP and go ahead with the subs JCole Harte and Martin.. 🙁

which is better.. I think 1 is better..

Who are people putting in the mix as (c) this week then:

1.Lamby
2. Sturr
3.Mata
4. Fellani
5.Bale ( he loves playing against arsenal)

Is demel likely to start tonight?

Last Leagues Update until the GW ends.

FPL Open (closes GW29) : 445 entered, 256 spots, 256th spot @ 18,520th.

Elite 64 (closes GW31) : 266 entered, 64 spots, 64th spot @ 1,177th.

Millionaire Club : 96 qualified. Entries closed til GW ends. Lots need Bale to bail them out. 35 is the current safety score.

Only 12 days to enter the FPL Open.

Open for everyone to enter.

There's much talk over whether those of us taking rvp out temporarily can later afford to get him back coz ,for instance, his price doesn't fall enough.

There's less talk over the potential rise of the player you temporarily get in though, which can help bridge that gap significantly.

I'm thinking Lambert for instance

Imagine if Bale blanks today...

We would have a retrospective answer to the RVP Walcott Bale captaincy debate a few days back. Lol.

Kudos to the bravehearts who captained Lambert or Cisse.

Gw29 aside a couple of quick chelski questions:

1/ Are people holding onto Azpi or getting rid?
2/ Lampard or Hazard? (don't want mata)

There is indeed a rule something regarding that you must play your best team week in week defined by the FA. This rule comes much more into effect towards the last few games of the season.

For eg-: Assume United have wrapped up their league by gw36. But then they supposedly play a team fighting relegation, take QPR for eg, and they end up playing their second string side which gives QPR the advantage and the desperately needed win. This win propelled them up the ranking, just over another club i.e. Aston Villa.
Aston Villa would then blame United for fielding their second string as their sole reason of relegation causing them losses in millions of dollars, thus the rule comes in effect.

Of course, there is no way your best team can be defined on paper, and no one really plays much attention to this rule. Unless of course, it's me, who write a needless paragraph explaining my understanding of the rule. 😛

Begovic
Davies, Rafael, Enrique (Bertrand, Onuoha)
Bale, Sissoko, Mata, Walcott (Puncheon)
RVP, Fletcher, Sturridge

3.5m in Bank. Bertrand and Onuoha issues. Fletcher bain of my life, every time I need to get shot he has an OK fixture.

Bertrand > Wilson despite Begovic being dire for me

or

Fletcher out?

Ok, price movement aside, suppose you decide to sell rvp, who are you getting in?

I have studge and lambert and tbh don't see any reasonable replacents... Dont want to double up on pool with suarez, aguero doesn't convince me either...

Why couldn't the deadline be 30 mins prior to kick-off on Saturday? Honestly, I expect RvP to feature against Norwich. I think he might even start.

My front eight for the weekend is:

Bale (ARS) - Walcott (tot) - Sissoko (swa) - Michu (NEW) - Fellaini (REA)
Cisse (swa) - Kone (LIV) - RvP (NOR)

If I knew RvP wasn't starting I would definitely bench him, but now I'm thinking Sissoko/Cisse. The risk of benching RvP is just to big.

Looking at my history and noticed my GW score has been inside the top million since gw15.
Made up for an awful start.
How does this compare to you guys?

Anyone else here got Nolan? He's getting a lot of chances now with Carroll back, hoping tonight might deliver some goods. With Bale(c) as well, seriously hoping tonight is a proper feast.

If u gotta, has to be Aguero for me. Big gun for biggish gun

Fellaini & RVP > Sissoko & Suarez to avoid the GW29 blanks would leave me with £8.7m in the bank 😯

Surely those getting rid of RVP will just want him back in two GWs time?

So, my theory is, if you can get away with benching him - definitely keep!

Guys, right in thinking Demel and Marveaux should be first to go?

Bego Bunn
Raphael Clichy Harte Demel Davies
Sissoko Mata Bale Walcott Marveaux
RVP Cisse Sturridge

£2.2m spare, will prob swap for McAnuff or Kebe if Marveaux goes and Demel out for Wilson

Puncheon ➡ Sissoko
Pog ➡ Lambert
4 point HIT

Thoughts?

What to do???

2 red arrows, dropped to 17k

0.9 in bank

Bego Bunn
Hughes Demel Monreal Clyne Davies
Walcott Mata Michu Felliani Bale
Rvp Sturridge Ruiz

If youve not already, have a look at the chap with th etop score the GW unbelievable !

Who should I bench this coming GW?

Bale, Mata, Walcott, Michu, Fellaini
RVP, Sturridge, Lambert

If United have a blank, what do people think of this trio of transfers?

GW28: RVP to Lambert
GW29: Puncheon to Sissoko
GW30: Cisse to RVP

morning all. brutal week but guess most are in a similar boat.

for the coming week

reina
wilson / zaba / jevans
fellaini / bale / walcott / michu / mata
studge / lambert

bunn / RVP / davies / demel

thinking of saving transfer and just benching RVP

look good? and who on earth to captain???? some tasty options

Thoughts on RVP + Guthrie -> Bale + Lambert (-4)?

Current team...

De Gea
Clichy Enrique Wilson
Mata Walcott Fellaini Michu
RVP Aguero Sturridge

Federici STaylor Pearce Guthrie

I really want VP to miss the next two GWs. SAF to say hes not being risked v Norwich and 29 being moved.

Pratik, you still around?

So do we all think Sissoko is the real deal? Thinking of upgrading my 5th mid Puncheon for someone that actually starts games...

So, given that one of the main reasons to be selling RVP is the likely blank in GW29, it would make no sense to bring in a player whose fixture is also under threat. That leaves players from Villa, Liverpool, Newcastle, Norwich, QPR, Reading, Southampton, Stoke, Sunderland, Swansea, Spurs and WBA.

Given the way the fixtures fall and the paucity of attacking talent from many of those teams it appears the only real options are Suarez, Cisse and Lambert.

Can't believe I'm looking to sell the most expensive player in the game and I have so few options worth considering!

(Obviously I'm waiting for now in the hope we hear more about the fixture situation)

Pretty certain I'm going out of the FPL cup to Doosra. Thought I had a good chance after Saturday with
Me: Mata, Puncheon, Clyne, O'Brien
Doosra: 4 points + BAE (+now 1 bonus for McAuley)
But sadly Mata and Puncheon screwed me so I've now got to hope O-Brien outscores BAE by 2 points to draw or 3 to win...

I think the tie is yours Doosra!

done a bit of research when possible dgw's could be, assuming all 4 fixtures are off. it's looking like we may have a couple dgw's instead of one massive one:
