With Gameweek 1 concluded, it’s time to delve a little deeper into the data in our first “Big Numbers” article for members of the campaign. We analyse the display of Arsenal’s new wide man against Palace, the QPR front pairing at home to Hull, Liverpool’s ever-improving youngster, Southampton’s delivery under Ronald Koeman and United’s weekend scorer in the 2-1 home loss to Swansea.
Those already planning in advance to get Aguero in should consider the following:
*Pellegrini will not throw him in for 90 minutes straight away (not before gameweek 4 I would think)
*He's made of glass, can get injured if not eased in
*Sure the fixture against Stoke is a tempting one, but after that City face Arsenal(A),Chelsea(H) in the next two..Food for thought....Open ControlsThanks man!
Open Controls
I can do Sturridge>Aguero since I have 0.5M ITB but Aguero has to play 2-3 full minutes before I can considering bringing him in. Great captain material when fit though!
Open Controls
Thanks TFF, Bony looks (on paper) the way forward so.
Open Controls
this is why im not getting him...yet 😉
Open ControlsAfter gameweek 5 looks the most sensible bet
Open Controls
For me Aguero is the one player in the game where you don't have to be certain of starts before you get him. Always scores when coming off the bench as proved again this weekend and if he's fully rested then your bench can cover, its the opposite of the 1pt Kolarov cameos. I also think a player such as this is largely fixture proof,
That said, awful lot of money to gamble before consistent production is seen, and Chelsea is the one fixture that will always scare meOpen ControlsExactly, I know he is a beast... But when Aguero will be sticking it out against Arsenal and Chelsea, Studge will be banging them in against Villa and West Ham...Costa also plays Swansea at home in gameweek 4
Aguero is a no go area for me before gameweek 6Open Controls
Henderson or Bojan for GMW2
Open Controls
Still happy with my mata-fab swap although this new price change rule won't make it as profitable.
I'm i correct in saying (for example) 50000 for 0.1
Then double that again for 0.2
Then other 50000 for 0.3
So basically be much harder to get 0.3 rises on a playerOpen Controls
A beautiful mind?
Open Controls
Fab or Costa for the armband ?
All vote...NOW...!

Liking my strike force this weekend....

Hey Evs. If you had Jovetic with nothing in the bank, would you give him another week and save the FT, or sell him to someone 8.0 or cheaper?
Open ControlsTricky.
Who do QPR play?
Remy had decent stats last week.Open ControlsAway at Spurs, can't see him doing much there 🙁
Open ControlsOh... Nightmare.
Not sure really, that's why I held 0.5m in bank.
It was my Jovetic escape plan 🙂Open Controls
Away at Spurs
Open Controls
Wait till later in the week, check in with the FFS demigod, then reassess. I'd keep if possible, he'll score if he starts IMO.
Open ControlsCheers Arvin.
Open Controls
Nice. Did you get Bony in this week?
Open Controls
Earlier Sturridge and Suarez were called SAS....now Sterling and Sturridge will be called R&D?
Open ControlsSAS 2.0
Open Controlsyes, because Sanogo and Sanchez is the new SAS 😉
Open ControlsAAS
He wants to be called Alexis remember?Open Controls

Has anyone seen TopArse?
Oh how I miss winding him up.Open Controls
Last time we had changes in the price change system FIso and tfpl were pretty much useless the rest of the year. 🙁
Open ControlsNot true at all. FISO was great in 2014 when fixed.
Open ControlsAre we now looking for a 100% rise then a 200% rise then a 300% rise for each jump?
Open ControlsPossibly.
Open Controls
Nobody knows, FPL always keep the algorithm a secret. When they change it it takes the price change prediction guys a while to catch up.
Open ControlsAt least the first rise seemed pretty on the ball.
Open ControlsYep, possibly there's been a tweak to the incremental rises and/or falls. It will take a few players rocketing or plummeting in ownership before TotalFPL/FISO manage to nail it down though.
We should all panic buy/sell a few players to help them out 🙂Open ControlsOn thing is for sure - we have to think hard before bringing players with low ownership, they can plummet fast and won't recover.
Open Controls
Looks that way. Let's not jump the gun, though - the next Siggy rise will give us more of a clue.
Open ControlsSomeone on another thread explained it to me and according to them:
say the first rise needs 50,000NTI, the second one will need 100,000NTI and the third 150,000NTI.Open Controls
Jovetic/Giroud owners-Bony may be the one to own the next few weeks considering City/Pool fixtures, either that or keep Giroud or it might be a case of Pelle if we could see some form.
Open Controlsthis...giroud is not in form
Open ControlsI own Giroud and like the look of the Bony move, tho I own Siggy never thought I'd own 2 swans but it might just be the case.
Open Controls
I think Bony looked horrible against United..
Open ControlsAgree and that's why I ain't totally sold, tho his end season performances were great he ain't up to speed yet.
Giroud is poor ATM too,
Jovetic looks like 20mins from here,
Pelle has a lot to prove,
So where do you go without total butchering?
Remy??Open ControlsI should add Dzeko but rotation hovers and the fixtures aren't brilliant.
Open Controls
I'm in the same situation with Giroud. Apparently he looked awful yesterday.
The best replacement in my mind would probably be Remy. Although I think it's best just to hold on for now. The big man should be involved at Goodison this weekend and could score us some points..Open Controls
Not convinced by Sanchez tbh after watching him for the 3rd time for Arsenal..
Open ControlsI suspect he will do the business at ARsenal but is he worth 1.5M more than Ramsey?
Open Controlsloser
Open Controlstbf he has been marked very tightly in all his games, and still puts in a shift...if giroud knew how to finish outside the six-yard box it would be a different story too...
now with ozil back there will be less focus on him from opposition defenders, and when wally comes back he will be at his bestOpen Controls
Hazard costa and fab all in team for weekend better not be a 1.0 away win need goals nearly 30 million of my budget on them
Open ControlsJust on total Fpl sigg was over 200% before end of night so shouldn't he have went up again
Open Controls
Hi guys - I would really appreciate some help with my team. Is there any stand out transfers to be made?
Krul
Chambers Terry Caulker
Ramsey Henderson Mata Sigurdsson
Costa Rooney Sturridge
Elliot, VanA, Wisdom, MarneyOpen Controls
Nah.Hold it for now IMO.
Open Controls
So what are the F. Luis owners doing? I'm thinking hold on, for now. But not so sure...
Open ControlsWith nearly 3 million players, the old system of 50,100 then 150k seems very plausible.
Open ControlsWould smooth the rises a bit and help those who don't play the value game so much.
Open ControlsI think it would help the early transfers even more as a lot of people don't do the early signing and therefore may miss the price rise as there is no guarantee they will rise again the following week, so the later comers only get 0.1 rise.
Open ControlsThis is true. If we are back to the old system then Saturday night is the big price change night. Those that have missed out on their second rise the week before will already be well above the target NTI for the new week.
Open Controls
Do we know what the current TotalFPL models are using? i.e. how much NTI = 100%.
Open Controls46k or so. Find someone up 10% or whatever then it's easy.
Open Controls
biggest issue with this team is?
Szczesny
cahil, Jones, Vlaar
Sterling, Ramsey, mata, Eriksen
Costa, Rooney, Bojan
what do you think is the biggest weakness??Open Controls
For those of us punting on Bojan...check his avg position in the members area. Not convinced by him but playing furthest forward is better than I thought...fingers crossed.
Open ControlsDo you put 'spoonsful' or 'spoonfuls' of sugar into tea?
Open ControlsSpoonfuls.
Open ControlsSpoonfuls. 'Spoonful' is a single word in its own right. If it were 'spoon full' then 'spoons full' would be correct 🙂

Hello, the best football forum on earth!
So, how many of you took hits today ? 😆Open Controls
Why did not Siggy rise this night? He was way above 100%.
Has FPL changed the pricing system? If so, it is essential to know as I care a lot about building team value.Open ControlsIt seems the pricing algorithm has changed, impossible to be sure what the exact changes are until a few weeks have passed though.
Favourite theory so far is that they've reverted to the old system whereby the second rise needs twice as many NTI as the first and the third rise needs three times as many as the first.Open Controls- Open Controls
who to play for gw2 ?
1. Chambers
2. Van Aanholt
3. Hutton
thanksOpen Controls
What would be the best possible team if only thinking on GW2?
Open Controls
The simple, all-in-one guide to why Siggy did not go up in price last night:
1. FPL adjusts the required transfers boundaries each year.
2. TotalFPL and FISO don't know the changes and have to monitor early price changes to work out what is happening and what changes they need to make to their formulas.
3. Siggy would have been the first double price rise using the best approximation of last year's formula, but...
4. The formula appears to have changed fairly significantly for the second rise in a week*. We can have ideas about why, but...
5. We won't get a clearer idea until someone does rise .2 in a week and...
6. We won't be absolutely sure until there have been several .2 price rises.
*it's most likely to only apply within a Gameweek, but we can't be 100% certain yet.Open Controls
