Advice out of the top drawer there.

On your wildcard GB?

What news?

It's Lateriser's birthday you know.

Show some respect.

mindf@uk 😉

Rooney news?

I cant split them. I would prefer Lamps over HBA.

History suggests Lamela will be a higher scorer than Eriksen, but i still think eriksen will go well.

It is common fact that some cannot simply sit with £100m burning a hole in their pockets. It must be spent. Hence the WC triggerrers on GW1!

Thats not to say it won't work out. Last years winner used it then! I won't use mine until the October Internationals are donw at the earliest

Depends though. I feel a bit too busy for FF this year.

Would rather WC now and get my team in a place I am happy with and deal with new issues as they arise than have to plan out a several week strategy for dealing with the numerous issues I already have AND adjust it for the new issues as they arise.

Long

Use the WC to go DGW-crazy at the right time, or if you have to as a way to fix your team. That's it really.

I think last season I made the mistake of not using it early. The early bandwagons carried on with success through to the new year. I tried to chase and ended up with more and more differentials falling further and further away.

This year I think my team is nicely settled and have no need to wildcard. Most wildcard teams I look at aren't much different than mine or in my opinion worse and full of lots more risks.

last season my missus proved that you don't have to use a wildcard early. She had Ivanovic, Hazard, Michu, RVP, Bale etc from week 1 and just subbed others in and out whilst captaining Bale and RVP all season. I think it was week 35 we has the doubles and she wildcarded to make full use and drag her team from 10k to 3k in the world.

However, I really think it depends on the position you find yourself in. If you don't have the right players then wildcard. If you do then save it for late doublegameweeks.

No Rvp 😉

Good

Hazard doesn't make it into many RMTs at the moment, so you might have a good differential there. I'm not sold on HBA myself but he does have the fixtures.

I think no RvP for the next few weeks is a risk, but I don't need to tell you that.

It's good.

This is the morning zone dude! DZ people are probably sleeping now!!!!

WC team?

nolan >> barfa

9/10

Awesome front line and defence but obviously the midfield is going to suffer with this, and it does..
You could save some cash on Ivanovic -> Vidic, Collins -> 4.0 (as you have 3 'big hitters') or even Soldado -> Giroud.

If I were on a wc I would probably take a gamble on Nani rather than HBA

That midfield, wow. You have no flexibility there, I'd say you need at least 2 heavyhitters in the midfield in case somebody starts firing (Pamela, Michu, Hazard, Mata, Ozil, plenty of potential). Downgrade your defense or one of your strikers.

Vertonghen easily. Much higher attacking potential. Plus he's so dreamy.

Vertonghen is very poor for attacking returns so far this season...table for touches in the final third...scroll way.way down....http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/modify/3885...could change of course...

all we can hope is that in two weeks those teams also looks bit "out of date"

What all those yellow flags who will be fine and will cost a lot of people who knew jerked their good teams because they where scared?

Walcott 😉

Before the deadline there will be.

It's less less with No DGWs. In GW38, it's pretty useless.

30 is my answer.

30 Points, I'd say - 50 is way too many. A 48pt hit and you can change your entire squad.

20 points. Scientifically calculated.

Somewhere between 16 and 24 points I reckon.

Around 20 -50 if it ends up getting you some good captain options and a better bench.

I think the best value move a person can make is getting out a dud player for a new premium player that you captain and you manage to catch on a great run. That can add up to 50 pts within two or three weeks. Got to have a lot of luck for that to happen though.

Somebody's a grumpy bear this morning!

Dzeko
Toure
Foster
Silva

What's the point of the ridiculous "qualification criteria"??

Why not add.....1. Your first name can have no more that 6 letters 2. There can't be any more that 6 vowells in your team name.....................

I'm out by one point.....tough gig this one.

Why do you need more points when you take a hit?

Wait & see. Wouldn't want to find out the hard way.

Nani is the 'go to' United midfielder.

No. He will mainly be used as a dm I think.

Can't see him playing in the whole for united, unless they are trying a certain game plan.

Anyway until you no for sure no point risking it. Better to be a week late than 5 to early.

Not much in it. I think with the tweaks in assist/BP rules and prices this season FPL Towers have given the 3-4-3 a bit of competition - it's no longer the stand-out formation and 4-3-3 becomes a viable option - maybe even 4-4-2 if/when the midfielders start to fire. So having a squad in which you can switch formation based on fixtures is probably the most viable strategy now.

I'll try talking you out of 4 Expensive defenders
I think you're missing out on good value of the 4.5m defenders: Collins/Clyne/Shaow/Turner ect
They can a offer great a great rotation that can be as strong as your 4th Expensive.

Doing this also enables you to switch between 3-4-3 and 4-3-3 picking the players you fancy to get the most points. eg Brady VS Clyne/Turner.

Cheers for this mate

This is true! Kim for the win, Kim for president. The Korean Messi.

Yep, I'm looking at that too, see above. My only query is to do possibly change Zab to Nasty, Lamps (major rotation risk IMO) to HBA and then try and do Gabbidon > Walker for spurs attacking cover.

Stekelenberg. Toure , Silva , Sturridge , Walcott, Williams

Too much in the defence for me. Downgrade Dawson and Agger (already got Ming) and upgrade Yaya to a 9m mid. Use remaining cash to upgrade 1 or 2 of the cheap mid.

maybe try and upgrade Hernandez for HBA?

Not worried about lack of Chelsea cover?

Good squad Jonny. Can I throw a little tempter of Evra/Benteke to Vidic/Soldado?

Nice.

Nice -
1- Trekkers all day ,
2 - yes
3 -yes

Anything with RVP wins. At least thats been my conclusions this week.

*thumbs up*

yeah, you do it first and we'll all follow.

Only if you captain ol' beckster.

Chamck is fresh and on better form than RVP.

He is a must. Bring him in this week for a hit if you must!!

Thanks guys, I knew I could trust you.

Just dont be jealous when I get 100 points

This, good point! (although it has been mentioned. Everything has ;-))

That's the first time I've seen that said in here - good point 😉

Or you've instantly got access to at least 4m in funds any time you decide to downgrade him, so have fantastic flexibility 😉

This is true - but you have to compromise if you want RVP. But having him is not the be-all and end-all. Further down the line (after his good fixtures) he can be sold to a 9-9.5 FWD and then you'll find you have a very flexible squad.

I am.
