We delve into the data from the weekend’s eight Premier League fixtures this evening. Palace, Sunderland and Tottenham’s chief threats are brought under analysis, whilst Chelsea’s young Egyptian and Fulham’s Colombian goal hero are also assessed after impressing in back-to-back appearances:
-
So with Baines potentially out who is on pens? RL?
Open Controls-
Baines injured? I need to see it to believe it.
Open Controls-
I don't think Everton will allow that.
Open Controls
-
-
Bareth?
Open Controls -
Howard.
Open Controls-
Royston Drenthe?
Open Controls-
This.
He'll fly from the Madejski whenever a penalty is awarded. 😀Open Controls

-
-
lukaku
Open Controls
-
-
Please prioritise in terms of importance/pt potential for the run in:
A. Gerrard
B. Eriksen
C. Mata
I'm thinking of getting 2 for next week.Open Controls-
imo B first due to fixture (Fulham), then C for the dgw, a last.
Open Controls
-
GW34, who wins A or B?
A) Coleman // Dann // Barkley // Gerrard // Agüero
B) Distin // Ward // Demichelis // Mirallas // PuncheonOpen Controls -
-
whats going on Aguero injured or what?
Open Controls
-
-
Do we think Yaya' s price will fall tonight?

Let's see if UEFA have the cojones to hit these clubs with a transfer embargo. With Barca already on an embargo, it really will take some big spenders out of the market.Open Controls -
The Arsenal column in the transfers page on FPL is rather colourful
Open Controls -
FPL breaking their own rules by amending baps more than a day after a game, disgraceful and unacceptable............ but about fooking time!
Open Controls -
Everybody whats about Baines seen a post talking bout injury ?? Aguero too so anybody know anything ? thx yall
Open Controls-
I've haven't heard any of that, and as such, I must deduce it's all jibberish and hogwash.....with a bit of shenanigans mixed in there.
Open Controls-
ok i just did Yaya + Lukaku >>> Mata + Aguero 0.0 in the bank
Open Controls-
Bold. It is tough when you have no money to play with. Good luck
Open Controls-
Thx !
Open Controls
-
-
Lukaku and Aguero aren't changing in price tonight so not entirely sure why you haven't waited til tomorrow for that half of the transfers.
Open Controls-
No money itb. If Yaya drops tonight, he may not be able to afford those moves tomorrow.
Open Controls-
Forget that, misread your post. 😆
Open Controls
-
-
yea i did yaya > mata and thought if Aguero price rised its over so i brought him in ! 0.0 in the bank is tempting 😀

Baines injured? Says who?

Who's been your most infuriating FPL pick?
As I sit looking at my points for this week, a certain Wes Brown leaps out at me.
Who would you say has been the (worst, most difficult, most infuriating, causing the most problems) player you've owned this season?Open Controls-
Eriksen did nothing, sold him then he started scoring points
Open Controls-
Yeah, Eriksen finally got me some points this weekend
Open Controls
-
-
Chambers & Clyne, every time I buy one of them he loses his place to the other.
Open Controls-
That's been a funny one. Must be annoying
I owned Clyne until January wildcard, then got rid and used Boruc as my Southampton cover.Open Controls
-
-
I've got too many candidates from which to choose.
Open Controls-
If you had to choose 1...
Open Controls-
Either Ravel or Vidic. Oh wait, Sessegnon. Hold it...
Open Controls-
Yep - I know all about Sess.
That's quite a list already!Open Controls-
-
Fair enough.
Nice Baines captaincy by the way 😉 It feels good to get a decision right doesn't it 😀Open Controls-
Yes it surely does. I actually wasn't going to do it but found myself advising others it was a good call, so I decided to listen to myself.
Open Controls-
Yeah. As soon as I explain reasoning to someone else, i'm like: "Wait a minute, that sounds great!"
Although I'm pretty sure I advised people not to captain Suarez for that Spurs game. Big misjudgementOpen Controls-
Thought I would (c) Lukaku but everybody was going that route. Since I wanted a DGW player, Baines just seemed logical given my other choices. Now let's hope the injury rumor is just that.
Open Controls-
Pretty sure it's just rumour. I'll quite happily have another 8 points for my captain. Maybe a sneaky goal as well...
Open Controls
-
-
Cleanie and bit extra and the baps should roll.
Open Controls-
Hopefully with an immediate effect this time
Open Controls

3 red cards (plus the resulting suspensions) and an own goal from Wes. It would be better playing a non playing defender every week
Open Controls -
Charlie Adam (most infuriating)
Only reason I picked him was the GW29 blanks when only 5 games were played. We all know what happened - got banned for a stamp & couldn't play GW29.Open Controls-
Oh yeah - Charlie Adam.
I think I was dangerously close to bringing him in if it wasn't for an injury elsewhereOpen Controls-
Got away with it then. 😉 I'd already brought him in a couple of weeks earlier.
Open Controls-
Yes and no. I missed a points haul, but dodged his suspension bullet
Open Controls

-
the undoubted winner has to be lukaku.. what a complete pain in the arse
Open Controls-
No points when you play him. Dodgy assists when you don't. And so on
Open Controls-
and in the realWorld he has soooo much talent.. pretty much two perfect wingbacks to deliver crosses
how does he NOT score goals.. fooled too many times
won't buy again (until he changes his hairdo) 😉Open Controls-
I know. I panic bought him at 11:28 on Saturday. Praying for returns against Palace

What word are you going for there Demi?
Open Controls

Tekkers
Open Controls -
Every midfielder except for Hazard and Silva. They are all some karmic retribution for getting in early on many of the great ones last season.
My Failure Five would be
Coutinho Mirallas Lallana Sessegnon PaulinhoOpen Controls-
I thought Paulinho was going to be my differential in the midfield, but he did nothing!
Thing is, most of those were good picks at the timeOpen Controls
-
-
Michu
CoutinhoOpen Controls-
Had Michu for 2 weeks, 5 points in total, then got injured again.
Open Controls

Worst decision of the season: Getting Theo Walcott 4 or 5 gameweeks before his first start
Best decision of the season: Having Theo Walcott for the start of his dominationOpen Controls-
Better early than late!
I wish Theo hadn't got injured again. He was such a good value pick at 9.0Open Controls
-
-
And Kevin NoIan I'd imagine for those who had him
Open Controls-
-
GW1 - 11 points!
After that, he was terrile for meOpen Controls
-
-
-
Mirallas. Four ******* times
Open Controls -
Bardsley. . . twice.
Open Controls -
Lukaku, burned me a million times
Open Controls -
Benteke when we returned from his injury went 6 games without a goal.
Open Controls

Can't wait until October to have this page from my Chelsea calendar hanging on my wall

Vidic lol
Open Controls

-
can someone update me on the BAP changes pls
Open Controls-
In the Everton match, Distin received a Yellow but it wasn't recorded by FPL.
Today, FPL acknowledged the yellow, which reduced Distin's BAPS and therefore increased the BAPS for Baines and StonesOpen Controls

Guys any news on Yaya , Sturridge and Baines ?
I have 2 FT i can do Lukaku and Yaya out > Erisken and Aguero in do it or wait till know any think
about baines and STURRIDGE ?Open Controls -
-
2-1.
Open Controls
-
-
Rodallega or Kane?
Open Controls-
Rod if you really really have to.
But you've missed the start of his explosion 😉Open Controls -
Kane if pushed as long as he starts.
Open Controls -
Not sure it's the best way to use up a striker position though
Open Controls -
Cheers guys I think I will be opting for Kane. What do you think of this potential team for a 3-5-2?
Boruc-Mannone
Kosc-Chester-Azpi-Baines-Ivanovic
Gerrard Sterling Nasri Eriksen Mata
Suarez Aguero (Kane)
Over the next two GWs this team will cost me a (-8), just (-4) if I keep Puncheon over Sterling and it leaves me with 1.2 in the bank. I actually really like it for the rest of the season but what do you guys think?Open Controls

Remember this anyone?

So Yaya did fall.
Begovic and Cahill Up.Open Controls-
JRod down as well. 😯 They're really dropping low into the low 90%s for falls atm.
Open Controls-
Thought they had to hit 100% for a change... I am confused
Open Controls-
It varies as do the target thresholds, just to keep us on our toes. If they're over 90% and you want to do the transfer, I always reckon it's worth getting it done, if your budget is tight.
Watch for the bleating this evening when people see it. 🙂Open Controls-
Ah ok, thanks for that 🙂
Open Controls -
Are they still using the same 24 period that FPL are since the clocks went forwards?
Open Controls-
Yep every 24hrs prices can change up or down .1 max.
Prices changed 30 minutes ago if you want to check your time, it will be the same until the end of the season. (In theory).Open Controls-
Yeah, I know that bit 🙂 I was wondering if perhaps it had become off-set. Since the 24 period would have had one 23 hour period when BST started if they had their timing based off a system where the system clock changed to BST.
I'm sure they'd have that covered after all these years though.Open Controls

Sturridge just about avoided the drop. I have 24hrs to decide his fate in my team.
Open Controls
-
-
I had 0.1 breathing space for both YaYa and Sturridge, so I'm ok for the moment.
If feckin Baines is injured too (as rumoured) that's just taking the piss. Multiple, multiple injuries have cost me a good rank this season.Open Controls-
Sturridge will definitely go tonight RCA, watch for your transfer in rising too.
Pants season, I shall be pleased to see the back of it. Even managed to screw up my Metro rank this DGW.Open Controls-
Am watching things closely thanks 🙂
What's Metro? Actually I don't want to know 😉
1.6m after GW12, I've draaaaaged myself into top 30k.
I've had over 40 injuries so that scuppered any top 10k chance I had.
Hope you're well Flynny.
I shouldn't be up this late.
Night all 🙂Open Controls-
Night RCA.

My back is killing me so off to me pit. Night all (both).
Open Controls -
done aj to erik. considering lukaku and yaya to kun and mata (-8). yay or nay
Open Controls -
DeGea Mannone
Azpilicueta DeMichelis Mertesacker Vlaar Ward
Eriksen Gerard Ki Mata Silva
Adebayor Aguero Suarez
Season ending team?Open Controls -
It really is the Dead Zone this morning....
Open Controls-
Sure is.
If everything goes well the next 2 days will probably take out YaYa and Sturridge for Gerard and Aguero.
Lukaku next but not sold on anyone at the moment.
Then Coleman to Man United defender but not sure which or Arsenal but they're hurting at the moment.Open Controls-
Are you going for Gerrard as a proven points scorer, or partially because you were thinking he'd benefit from Henderson being out? I actually think it makes Sterling an interesting commodity.
Open Controls
-
-
Yeah not a lot to talk about. GW isn't over yet and people are happy to hold off on their transfers for a little longer. I'm guessing Yaya -> Gerrard/Mata will be the standard trade this week.
Open Controls-
Yaya -> Eriksen is what I'm considering, think that's a popular transfer too
Open Controls

So whereabouts do we all think we will finish the season? For me some where between 2k and 4k. But still hoping I can squeak beneath 1k. Not impossible but it heavily depends upon the rest of this game week
Open Controls-
A good few weeks has brought me up to 23k and I'm hoping to get into the top 20k by the end of this GW. I've given up on my original target of a 5k finish. Still hoping for a top 10k but will settle for beating last years 16k
Open Controls -
Wow you really went all in for the DGW cheeseoid, nice team especially with no hits !
I took a bunch of hits this week as a last roll of the dice to try for a top 100-200 finish, but it hasn't paid off.. will be very happy with a top 1k finish, anything better is a bonus.Open Controls-
It just took a few weeks of free transfers and a bit of forthought about DGW's to come on the winter WC. I was so tempted to take a hit for the full 11 with a DGW. It would have been a CPL defender I would have brought in prob for Agger and would also have prob paid off
Open Controls
-
-
11k here.
Just 28 pts off top 5k and 74pts top 1k.
Got a WC in hand and just hope to get at least inside the 10k.
Goal a few weeks back was top 5k. Looks doable I think.Open Controls -
I'm close to the 10k mark, which was my goal for the season. If things fall my way, then 5k might be possible.

Whats the deal with Salah. Shouldn't we expect certain rotation over the remaining games? When Hazard returns I'd expect him to be rotated with Schurrle for the remaining wing spot
Best to avoid then? thoughts?Open Controls-
I think that the appeal is mostly that Salah is ineligible to play CL, so should be less prone to rotation in the PL. But at the same time, the midfield is still crowded for Chelsea so starts are still not 100%. But that is true for any Chelsea mid.
Open Controls -
I agree, too risky for me. I think there's other mid price midfield options which are more attractive.
Open Controls -
IMO, I just think he would be nailed on. Where Jose might want to protect Haz for the CL.
Open Controls-
I don't see why he would leave out his best player when they are also competing for the PL title.
Open Controls
-
-
He's like Mata at Utd, only one that can't play CL, so should be relatively safe in the PL. He's interchangeable with Schurrle, Willian, Oscar etc and a few of those will be rested for the CL matches.
