We delve into the data in the first members article of the week as we assess the stand-out statistics over Saturday and Sunday’s eight matches. Everton’s left back, Newcastle and Villa’s top scorers, Chelsea’s weekend goal hero and Cardiff’s attack under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are some of the topics brought under analysis this time around:
I have 2 FTs.
I am thinking of just using ONE.
Kosc--> Chambers
This frees up 1.7 for me and lets me then do Adebayor --> Aguero for GW 31 (I will use 2 FTs before GW 31)
Look good?Open Controls
Im doing something similar but swapping Ade & Kosc for RVP & Chambers this week with my 2FT. Don't see Ade getting much in the next 2 weeks
Open Controls
I'm liking this.
Are people getting too hung up on this 'I must get 9/10/11 players for next week'. If it means ruining your team its not worth it.Open Controls
In case anyone missed it last night ( should have been stickied for Gawd's sake ). I achieved the mythical, legendary, not common or garden snail GREY ARROW.
76,164 -> 76,164 OR.
😎Open Controls
MODS
STICKY THISOpen ControlsQuite remarkable. In all my years I've never seen the rarer spotted Grey arrow.
Open ControlsOften confused with the lesser spotted Grey Arrow, usually only achieved by those in the top 200 OR.
It, in itself, could be the greatest ever FPL achievement any on here, or anywhere, has ever accomplished.Open Controls
Incredible, Did you call in Bill Oddie ?
Open Controls
Never mind that. Mind this:

Marshall
Ward, Azpilicueta, Smalling/Evra , Vertonghen
Hazard, Lallana, Oscar, Richardson
Adebayor. Rooney
Is this passable folks, 11 players taking a -8 in the processOpen ControlsA -8 is not advisable this week, of all weeks.
Open ControlsI don't know. A -8 isn't sooo bad. Cos bringing in 3 players for three that wouldn't play means only probably a -2 for the gameweek. Any CS or Assist and you're in the money.
If you were taking out guaranteed starters that's a different issue.Open ControlsThe transfers are. Sturridge. Mirallas (rotation concern) and Kolorov (rotation concern) out. For Rooney &. Evra. (dgws and play this week) & Richardson (2 decent fixtures next 2 weeks.
Open Controls
The other options are. Play 10 @ -4. Or. Play 9 with no hit at all. Or even just 8 and save the transfer. However, by bringing in Rooney and Smalling/ Evra I will have good cover for gw 31 and will be able to hold my w/c longer
Open ControlsId feel compelled to make 2 transfers as a -4 is easily pulled back just by playing. Im doing at least a -4 myself.
Open ControlsYeah, I think the risk is a calculated one and impacts reasonably well over the next few weeks, not just this week. With City having another 2 dgws and arsenal Everton and Sunderland all to have doubles confirmed holding my w/c beyond gw 31 could prove a very good move. Thanks for all the input folks, much appreciated.
Open Controls
Is Vertonghen one of the subs ?If he is I wouldnt bring in a spurs defender for a hit away at Chelsea.
Open Controls
Evening all. Not been on so much just recently. How is everyone? Any good suggestions on who to bring in for Chico? As cheap as possible to free up a little cash would be good and preferably primed to benefit from a DGW shortly
Open ControlsEvening Cheeseoid, I'd go Gareth Gates or Will Young. Never liked Chico myself tbh
Open ControlsPondered this myself and came up with Smalling of all people, Johnny Evans would be my preference if he was available.
Open ControlsI have Evra, and I am seriously considering doubling up on this UTD defence. I must be completely crazy
Open Controls
Hello darkness my old friend, ive come to talk with you again.
Open ControlsLook up. More upbeat.
Open Controls
I see the comments about Sturridge out. I have him at only 0.1 below his value so Im thinking:
Baker> Wilson
Studge >RVP
and that gives me the Aguero option for away to Hull. Yay or Nay (-4 by the way)Open ControlsI'm gonna try subliminal Borini messaging.
There's no logical argument I can use to make people buy Borini so I'm just gonna keeping putting the word Borini into my posts so that people keep repeating the name Borini and feel compelled to buy Borini
Peace Borini outOpen ControlsYou think it Borin(i)ng now. There's at least 3 Borini weeks till Borini actually has a DGW, since Borini can't play v Liverpool as Liverpool own Borini
Open Controls*slaps self*
No one may have that pleasure *laughs manically, then cries in pain*Open Controls
Itsy bitsy yellow pokka dot Borini.
Open Controlsif only taking the spaces out would make that short enough for an FPL team name.

I would be more interested if there was any chance of him repeating the feat!!! 🙂

Current team -
No keeper
Bennett shaw
Lallana mata Snodgrass hazard
Rvp (c) Ade
Bit playing Adrian, mannone, Chico, Kos, Coleman, sterling, Suarez
Two free transfers and 1.3 in bank. May just get a Chelsea's defender in. Not worth loading up with one week 2 pointersOpen Controls
HELP PLEASE!!!
Second in my mini league has just took a 16 point hit(poor league) so im now 43 ahead. He only had 4 playing players so hell probably have 9 now.rbp n co.What do I do? I have 6 playing but they include Erikson,Olsson and Lallana...Open Controls
Cahill Ward
Hazard Lallana Mata Snodgrass
Ade
Adrian Mannone Kos Coleman Chester SAS Jwp
A) Kos to Evra ?
B) Kos + Ade > Evra + Rooney(c) ?Open Controls
Any advice for me guys? This is my team.. I currently have 6 starters with 2FT and 4.9 in the bank. I don't know where to begin..
Boruc
Ward*, Bruce, Azpilicueta, Coleman*
Nolan*, Lallana, Hazard
Sturridge*, Adebayor, Suarez*
Subs: Davis, Koscielny*, Gnabry*, Yaya*
*=blanks this GWOpen Controls
Ward has a fixture sir
Open ControlsBut anyway, on a more serious note. First issue is Koscielny, get rid. Bring in another defender (Chambers if you want additional £££, or maybe Shawcross with Stoke's fixtures? Anyone basically).
Use the remaining cash to bring in a midfielder for Gnabry, and just play 8. Popular options are Walters, Sidwell, Snodgrass, Paulinho or Schurrle as a punt (I wouldn't).Open Controls
A good deal of money in the bank, lose Suarez for the week or just keep? I have Sturridge also.
Open Controlsno no no no no no no no
Open Controls
so liverpool in breach of contract, over the buy out clause
what if arsenal sue?Open Controls
Anyone else just writing this week off? I will have seven players playing and then a three week plan for the doubles which involves no hits
I would rather do that than bring a load of dross into my team.Open Controlssimilar thinking for me
you ahead or chasing?Open ControlsAhead, not by a huge margin though, i kinda get the feeling people taking loads of hits just to field a team will get basically the same score as everyone else.
Open Controlsim 40 ahead and will go into it with 7/8 and then try and plan for the dgws i think
big decision whether to bring rvp in or not :S
my ideal front 3 is sas (a being aguero) gw 31
then sar (s being stur and r being rvp) gw 32Open Controls
Is 10 players kind of average for the coming week?
Open Controls
Open ControlsI don't bother ... chasin' mice around ... 😀
Open Controls
Hmmm should probably get advice before a move rather than after...
Did I get it
A) Right
B) Wrong?!
I did Kos, Per, Bacuna > Azi, Pieters, Januzaj -4
My starting 10 for the GW:
Boruc
Cahill, Azi, Ward, Pieters
Mata, Lallana, Haz, Jan
Ade
(Davis - Suarez, Yaya, Bruce)
1m ITB. WC still to play.
Thanks gents!Open Controlsis jan a starter now or something? seems okay will do better then 3 0s anyway
Open ControlsJust fancied a short term punt on him over other options for next week. I'm chasing about 60 points in my money league. I'm hoping Moyes will start him, Mata, Roonpig and RVP up top again. Cheers!
Open Controlsso this is a good punt... i might consider him for 5th again haha.
Open Controls
With the wild card still available it could be an excellent move. Worst case you can go mental for DGW when it comes to undo any damage
I do like the Azpilicueta and Pieters moves. I fancy both for CS this week.Open ControlsCheers for the opinion squatch...hope you're right!
My plan is then to save a FT next week then go into 31 with 2FT's and take an 8 pointer to easily afford to run out a team like this with 9DGW players:
Boruc
Collins* Bruce* Cahill
Gerrard* Jan* Nasri* Yaya*
Studge* Aguero* Studge*
Then WC for form fixtures for the run in... That's my scheme. Woukd love your thoughts mate.Open ControlsI'd go Adam Johnson for Nasri as he's more assured of playing time but it looks well planned. Hopefully the planning pays off.
Saving wild card for after the DGW 31 is interesting. Big opportunity for the future DGWs if it plays out properly.
Normally I'd be nervous without Hazard though. If there's any way to keep him if you have him I'd look into it. I wouldn't buy at 11.1 or whatever he is though.Open Controls
Injury update. It's not on twitter for some reason. I'm definitely out of tomorrow night's 5 a side with the lads. Rib injury. Last Tuesday, I had an air shot when trying to convert a cross with my unfavoured left foot.
Landed awkwardly on my hand, driving my elbow into my ribs. Ouch.
This was the same rib that I injured last summer at a friend's BBQ. I was in the back garden showing off my fabled 1980's BMX tricks to the assembled kids and went over head first, driving the brake handle painfully into the rib cage.
If you transferred me in for a hit or even a FT, I apologise.Open Controlsan apology wont get me those 4points back!!!
now i have to captain rvp
ffs.Open Controls😆
Open ControlsBarbecued Ribs, Nice
Open Controlsp.s on a serious note sorry to hear your out
get well soon pal 😀Open ControlsHaha, cheers. It's sore, didn't expect it to stay sore for a full week.
Open Controls
Team for this week
Boruc
Evra - Smalling - Ward - Ivanovic
Eriksen - Puncheon - Hazard - Mata
Adebayor
Never seen such a pile of rubbish in all my life. Not even a logical captain choice and no guarantees on Eriksen or Puncheon after last weekOpen Controlshazard? surely he is the best choice this week... no matter who you have
Open ControlsSpurs defence has been quite solid recently though. I don't think it wil be a walkover
Open Controls
I'll be joining you on the Smalling punt dude, Not exactly filled with enthusiasm about it but hey ho
Open ControlsCaptain Mata. United will click at the Hawthornes.
Open Controlsso rvp for you?
what makes you so sure?Open ControlsI'm not sure at all. But after playing FPL for a while now, it's these sort of weeks where you can sneak a crafty Captain choice. It doesn't happen very often during an FPL season.
A big captain choice this week worth weight in gold.
United, and Moyes, hurting in a big way. Could be the day for a 3-1, 4-1 United win.
Again, just gut feeling on my part.
Terms and conditions apply.Open Controlshaha yeah i see your point!!
im just worried by 2 things...
if i transfer him in,
i have to play him gw31.. when i want sas (aguero)
and secondly
i know (well i dont but it seems logical :P) my main rivals will captain haz i have a 40 point lead so is it worth risking?Open Controls

Is this a sound plan?
This game week:
Silva > Adam (or any other mid at 5.9, If Adam is suspended)
Kosc > Dann
Bony > RVP (C)
(-4)
Next game week:
RVP > Aguero
Mata > Yaya
(-4)Open Controlsits as sound as this gw could go
but rvp in and out..he does have a gw 31 too but up to youOpen Controls
if i walk down the street naked i get frowned upon arrested and segregated against

double standards.Open Controlsrarely its all star trek and stargate isnt it ?
Open Controls
Surely a 16 point hit is never advisable? Second in my mini league has just did that
Open Controlsand he will need to do another to correct it
Open Controlsit depends who he brought in
but i would be ecstatic haha... are you third or topOpen ControlsLets face it most of the teams this week are poor filled with largely poor fantasy prospects. You fill your team with them and it will not help you long run. Man U, Stoke and Norwich MAY be the exceptions due to fixtures or untapped potential. But I am not confident about any of them
Open Controlsprobably not. There's not many options this week, chances are he's brought in players he won't want after this GW. I'd take the free 16 point advantage and run. Focus on getting Aguero next week without ruining your team and you might pull away while he undoes this weeks moves and tries to fit him in.
Open Controls
if its 5 dgwers thats basically 8 points.. but no it seems stupid ha
bet your eyes lit up at that
i wonder how many hits would be made if it cost 50p per hitOpen Controls

10 years, 3 months agoI need a quick vote for a transfer tonight.
Mertesacker > Ward
Benteke > RvP
Giving me: Terry Coleman Fonte Olsson and Ward and also gives me extra funds to spend in GW31
All I need is a Yes or a No.
Thanks in advance 🙂
