The final instalment in our series of Big Numbers articles focussing on Gameweeks 1-3 is rolled out this evening. After assessing the fortunes of defenders and midfielders, we now turn our attentions to the men up front – Chelsea and Southampton’s summer signings come under assessment, as do Everton’s in-form budget striker and the contrasting fortunes of a pair of Manchester-based front men.
given up on price rises?
Let's see it...
Krul
Ivanovic Clyne Shawcross
Tadic Fabregas Siggy Sterling
Costa Adebayor Balotelli
Elliot, N Taylor, Boyd, Hutton
I bet Balotelli was first on the team sheet.
Probably 4th or 5th 😎
Needs more Agüero.
Also why no Ramsey?
Fancy Tadic until Walcott is fit
Looks good. I suppose the third striker slot is a tricky one. Ade is pretty solid although he can blow hot and cold. Lots (including me) going with Welbeck.
Plan is to downgrade Ade in 4/5 weeks time to get Wally and Coleman in
pretty good, would prefer Lamela over Adebayor for Spurs coverage though
Next minute - 8 injuries. I'm not on a WC so..care to share? 😛
Above
A good balance. So you should. 🙂
Anyone would dare to risk with Trippier on WC now? 🙂
N
o
Debuchy to Clyne/Moreno/Lovren?
How cool would it be if you spelled his name Fal(c)ao this weekend?
Peeps who piss into the wind, invariably get their trousers wet ... 😉
Especially if they want to make a splash...

The should assume you at United
Falc(a)off
I wish it was spelt Falco and every grav wore an Amadeus wig.
Amadeus! Amadeus!
Gallileo! Gallileo! 😉
which 3 out of these? di maria, sterling, silva, ramsey.
The last 3
di maria's goals / assists stats are crazy though
0 and 0 being the ones what count.
For Real Madrid yeah. He's at United now complete different league and play style.
What has trippier shown so far to look like his worth 0.5/1 million more than his defensive team mates at burnley? 5th on the watchlist and seeing him mentioned a lot. his stats pretty poor and he's barely on any set pieces the past 3 games from what i've seen. a few corners and long indirects is all by the looks of it
A load of rubbish, imo. 🙂
Good run of fixtures and was an assist king last year.
was he on loads of set pieces last season or did he just rely on open play? he's looked ok in attack but not worth 5 million. would prefer shackell
Not sure I could pay 5 for a Burnley defender but if I was to get a Burnley defender it'd be him or Duff.
0 attempts, 0 peno box touches, 1 chance created etc etc.. really really poor
hows this looking?
krul
clyne - caulker - van aanholt ( N.taylor , wasilewski)
di maria - sterling - siggy - tadic (boyd)
balotelli - costa - aguerotake moore instead of wasil
need that extra 0.1 lol
@BenDinnery: Scan results have confirmed Daniel Sturridge will be out for between 2/3 weeks with grade one hamstring tear #LFC http://t.co/uqFgt6onVE
Shit. Worst news possible.
No, the worst news possible is you being ranked 4k.
no more grinding of teeth regarding wellbeck
so you going for welbeck then? 🙂 .. or balotelli?
Neither - yet. Will be Welbeck, though.
He has a history of dragging these things out longer too
Indeed. 🙁
Guess Balotelli really is a viable option now.
Hmmm. Balotelli looms.
gonna get him straight back in when he returns at near 11 million hopefully
Mata and dzeko > fab and ade sound good for free??
Yes
Jones, ramsey ---> di maria clyne or silva&clyne?
Thoughts on Mane and Tadic ? Had the latter but Mane allows me to have Aguero over Falcao without touching my back line
Hey anyone been to Prague? How did you find it...
I followed the signs
🙂
TomTom, i swear by it
Asked a few locals who pointed me in the right direction.
I was there in June - genuinely disliked it, to be completely honest. Felt like a massive tourist trap.
Jones, ramsey ---> di maria clyne or silva&clyne??
Di Maria and Clyne
Prodcast tomorrow?
No scoutcast this week
I give up.
Outrage!!! This referendum is gonna take everything down.
*Podcast
Nope Granville posted earlier no Scoutcast this week.
We should start a Community Podcast. Scoutcast is not regular enough!
If actually be up for it but no one would want to hear me rant on about United.
Doosra could host it. I reckon he's got a proper 80's DJ voice.
Let's do this.
Need someone with the equipment / know how / enthusiasm / time to get it started.
ah that's no-one then
Pretty much
Wouldn't just a microphone do? I'm no expert though.
And a computer, obviously.
Probably not idea but yeah I suppose so. I doubt Markville have got any more than that judging by the sound quality.
RMWCT please.
Schmeichal Heaton
Moreno Ivanovic Clyne Janmaat Moore
Mirralas Lamella Tadic Siggy Di Maria
Baloteli Dzeko Welbeckbenching nightmare!! Mirallas + Dzeko to 4.5 and Falcao/Rooney
Don't like the Dzeko Welbeck and Di Maria picks.
Good luck trying to get Aguero in
Gonna lead to some tough benching decisions, but that's not necessarily bad.
I wouldn't pick Di Maria until we see some evidence that he has any goal threat.
Any more news on jones if out few weeks
A or b
A) bardsley,pieters save 0.5 good fixures
Or
B)Moreno,lovren
FIFA15 demo download is so sloooooowwww...
In the meantime:
Sturridge -> who (for a hit)?
My team atm:
Sterling - Mata - Rambo - Siggy
Falcao - Costa - Sturridge
no money itb.
What do you recon?Who's on the bench?
Nothing mutch: Marney - Wisdom - Hutton
Balotelli also gives you some money to upgrade what undoubdetly is an awful defence.
budget defense 😉
I'd go ballotelli for a hit maybe aguero if can afford
will he surpass break even?
I've downloaded the demo and deleted it after 40 minutes.
that's what I'll probably do either, but 55% still...
Sell Silva or Mata for Sterling?
Mata
That's the way I've been leaning. But then I look at the fixtures :/
Silva is nailed on in a great team. Mata is a rotation risk in a bad one.
Good points. Probably makes sense, especially beyond the next 2 weeks.
mata
Bit of help here please lads/lasses.
If your on -4 then you play your wildcard do you still lose the 4 points or does the wild card cancel the -4?
Much appreciated chaps.
Cheers!Cancels It.
Bollocks!
My mate has done this and is considering playing his wildcard.
Never mind.
Thanks mate.
cancels i reckon! couldnt deduct if on a WC surely
Longest. International. Week. Ever.
Can't wait for Saturday 🙂
Agreed, it has almost felt like two weeks.
Yeah. Funny.
Worried di Maria will rise in the next day or two. Would be very annoyed if he rose before Dyer or Schneiderlin. May have to abandon hope of gaining money on one and get him in for one of them now. Annoying.
rises are v. slow... so was rooneys drop!
Have you made any cash yet?
Not much but yes. And avoided Rooney's drop along with half my injured team.
Di Maria hasn't even risen once yet, changing Dyer/Scheiderlin for him would be a strange move
Only takes one.
Eh?
I don't want to pay 9.6 for him, obviously.
I haven't looked at price rises, is he actually getting transfers in based on an international performance?
More likely because of Ramsey doubt coupled with QPR at home
110k transfers in this week.
Madness.
🙄
Thinking Cahill > Moreno using my FT would catch Morenos price rise and free up some funds...
Or is this a waste of a transfer..?Isn't Cahill possbily injured too? Seems like a decent enough transfer
Ye think it's just a niggle. Got a feeling chelsea will tighten back up after the 6-3 against Everton . My defence is
Cahill Chester Naylor. Hutton Chambers
Could do with the extra 1.0 to upgrade 1 of them
With one more hit I can have this team for the weekend. Is that worth it, or should I rather wildcard? That would save me 8 points in hits and fix a couple of other issues.
Begovic (Krul)
Terry - Chester - Clyne (Caulker, Wisdom)
Sigurdsson, Ramsey, Sterling, Hazard (Albrighton)
Costa, Welbeck, Fletcher
On a WC I would get Aguero, Tadic, Ivanovic, Elliot, N.Taylor and possibly Balotelli/Rooney.I'd think about using your WC would look much better with Aguero Rooney and Ivanovic.
Seriously, is there anywhere you can get a hint of risers and fallers? TotalFPL is really strange these days. They indicated a rise for Ramsay for several days and nothing happened.....and now he's below 100%.
And what's up with Welbeck? Over 100 000 transfers in and he's on 0,0& on TotalFPL.Tha should be 0,0%....not 0,0&. 🙂
Pick one to go with this wkd I'm on a WC
A Rooney
B Falcao
Could start with Rooney and if Falcao has a good wkd have 0.7 in the bank to upgrade Rooney to Falcao GW 5Go safe: Rooney
Go awesome: FalcaoRooney
Rooney. He's nailed on. Falcao will probably come off the bench.
Is there anyone else playing Caulker this week or just me?
Telegraph game. Who should I get for Sturridge?
Can get any FORWARD OR MIDFIELDER apart from RVP
(Got Hazard, Ramsey, Lamela, Siggy, Rooney, Costa)
Thanks 🙂Sorry, apart from Aguero I mean (can get RVP)
Agüero
Can't afford him. Messed up the question.
So. Need some advice. Hope that someone will be kind enough to give it to me.
GW 04:
Begovic
Chambers, Clyne,, Ivanovic
Mirallas, Ramsey, Sterling(c), Sigurdsson, Davis
Costa(vc), Sturridge, Naismith
Green; Davis, N Taylor, Dummett ... - 4, 2.6 ITB
Sturridge to Agüero/Welbeck for a further -4.
Is it worth it, in your opinion? No other Forwards will be considered.I gave you my advice a week ago. 😀
I appreciate it, but being an old git, I have forgotten it. One more time?
WC to a proper 343
Oh. Silly.
To Agüero, in my opinion. Sigurdsson on the bench then?
No, Davis.
Sorry. Cock-up.
Aguero might be the only forward worth it. Welbeck not so much.
Or should I stick it out?
I think it's worth it. And I'd go for aguero. Don't disagree that Welbeck option, but particularly at that very accessible price, I'd be happy to give him a few weeks with poor fixtures to prove his international brace wasn't a fluke.
OK. Thanks. 🙂
nice team Doos 🙂
firstly, Chambers may not play, so how about putting Dummett above Naylor? I think Southampton away is an easier fixture than Chelsea away, and then if Dummett doesn't play Naylor comes in...
yes imo, but only for Aguero...Cheers. I will do that now. Need the percentages, you're right.
Needs more thought - but thank you.
*Scoutcast theme tune*
Hello there, you're listening to another podcast from fantasyfootballscout.co.uk, my name's Mark.
And my name's Granville.
Hello guys hope all is well! rate RMWCT pleasseee!!
Fabianski/ Given
Ivanovic/Moreno/Clyne Duff/Wisdom
Sanchez/Fabregas/Sterling/Sigurdsson Boyd
Rooney/Costa/Naismith
*0.5 in the bank for potential Rooney---->Falcao move in future
i know Fabianski isn't the best goalkeeper choice this game week but i'm trying to think long term here and i havn't got Ramsey because EVERYONE has him and i'm just trying abit of a differential in Sanchez.
thanks guys.You'll need more than .5m 😀
9 years, 8 months agoI love my wildcard team. Not changing it at all now. 😀
