downgrade to wisdom which frees up some cash
Chambers... That's who I will do after this Chelsea game
you wont if he gets 5th yellow 🙂
It is a risk getting him in now then...
i think he is
PVA
Shawcross or PvA
Cant affor shawX, SUN fixtures get ver ugly soon
Pieters to Bardsley
Stoke's defence worth it?
they're resilient, but they're not great. Would just go Wilson and bank the 0.5 if you want a Stoke def.
Rooney on the red card:
"I saw the West Ham player making a counter-attack and tried to break-up the play. I just misjudged it. I am gutted that I am going to miss the next three games. I expect people to say it’s my temper again but I was trying to break up the play. It was a dangerous situation and I just misjudged it.
But I have no complaints. I haven’t absolutely volleyed the lad. I have tried to trip him up and he got further away from me and that is why my leg is straighter than it should have been. I have apologised to the lads."
Not buying it Wayne.
I do, don't see any reason for him to do it on purpose. Especially when he didn't look angry or frustrated in any way during that game.
Misjudged it? He karate kicked him in the midriff
Straightforward and honest. Seems fair, he didn't look like he was out to cripple him.
3 games is about right I suppose.
This. He tried taking one for the team and all that, ended up mistiming it 😛
It just goes to show that as Captain, how little faith he had in his defenders to deal with the attack.
Best replacement for Ramsey at 6.0 million?
Henderson has potential.... but it depends how much you want to save of that 6m
Chadli, Schneiderlin or Moses
Chadli is 6.2
Dorrans, Schneiderlin, Downing, Puncheon, Henderson, McGeady, Moses
Downing
Puncheon
Mane in that order.
Is there anyone else captaining Siggy next week?
I'm very seriously considering it.
Also, I see green arrows after two red weeks! Hallelujah!Hope so!
You do that only if you don't have a clear cut option this week. Anything Siggy does at that price is a bonus not a given. Fact that you had two red arrows won't prevent a 3rd one.
Oh, I meant I finally got a green arrow this week haha.
I'm considering it only because of the lack of options.
I have:
Siggy (NEW) ; Di Maria (EVE) ; Fabregas (ARS) ; Sterling (WBA)
Ulloa (BUR) ; Balotelli (WBA) ; Costa (ARS)
Personally I only like Sterling/Siggy out of that bunch. Who would you captain?Currently on Costa, will be Aguero if I get him and am convinced he'll start at the Weekend
wait, you're saying judge Sigurdsson on his price?
Am here, its captain Siggy this week
Good man!
What is the consensus around here for the best Ramsey replacement?
I already have Di Maria, Hazard, Sterling and Siggy
playing 5 milfs?
Siggy is a backup.
I might go super cheap though, so I bank some cashexpensive sub u got there, i would go for the 4.4 route
Tadic!
I'm surprised people aren't even considering Wilshere. If Ramsey is out for the reported 6 weeks - Wilshere could be good value at 6.4m in the Arsenal midfield. Especially considering he's been playing well this season (even though the team has been struggling).
Not touching Arsenal until after international break
But the chances of WIlshere lasting 6 weeks himself are slim to none + he just doesn't score or assist enough for me.
Agreed. Just saying he would be there in my thoughts if I had to get of Ramsey.
I may bring in Wilshere after the next game though - he seems to be turning a page and with him playing without Ramsey - one could see him go boom.
Could I wait until GW8 to wildcard? Is a wildcard before GW8 advisable?
Krul (swa)
Ivanovic (ARS), Taylor (NEW), Duff (lei), Moore (BUR)
Fabregas (ARS), Sterling (WBA), Sigurdsson (NEW)
Ulloa (BUR), Costa (ARS), Pelle (tot)
Elliot (swa), Clyne (tot), Ramsey (INJ), Mutch (INJ)
Free transfer used. 4.8m in the bank.
Thank youu
Thats a pretty good team. Might take a hit to ship out Ramsey but I'd wait till GW8 to WC
Price rises and falls are getting out of hand. Needs to be scrapped completely.
What do they expect you to do, make transfers before a weekends football is even finished?
If its like this next season, I won't be playing.its part of the game
Rises and falls are needed, but they shouod be made transparent, cant understand why it has to be a big secret
I disagree, price rises and falls of anything you trade is not transparent.
In reality, you only see the change after the value has changed. in FPL they change at a certain time so knowing before seems a bit..... well unrealisticPrecisely. If FPL thinks that keeping it super secret is going to make the game more fun, they're wrong.
Like any other game in the world, there are good players and recreational players. Good players are good because of 1) talent, 2) luck, 3) knowledge of the game's technicalities.
Don't see any reason why the price change mechanism shouldn't be made public. If someone is serious enough about the game, they will search for how it works and use that as one of the many tools available.
a big +1 to this
Not like this it shouldn't.
1) People like to analyze all their options.
2) People like to wait till the end of the week to make sure they are safe doing the transfer.1) People are still allowed to
2) People are still allowed to1) They want you to make transfers before a GW is finished
2) If you don't like doing that you will be punished and you may be punished later on trying to get that player in. Because it may take 2 transfers and not just 1.1) Who does? You are free to make as many transfers whenever and however you want!
2) Didn't understand what you meant by punished but I get your concern which is that you will miss the price changes if you wait too long. But that's the tradeoff! If you make it at the end of the week, you may (or may not) lose value but you also get to find the best replacement and Vice Versa.
Same as every season before.
Lots of good games without price changes you know DC.
Yes I used to like the Sky game, but that all went tits up with the captain changes.
I'll more than likely walk away from all of it next season. They keep trying to reinvent it and change things.
Just leave the thing as it was. It was never broke.
Aren't you trying to reinvent FPL by scrapping price changes?
If its going to be this way then I believe it is better scrapped.
Ramsey got injured, at least give people some time to decide the best option to come in. Who the hell wants to do that transfer on Sunday or Monday, knowing something could happen to that incoming player mid-week, meaning you've just swapped one injured player for another?So then you eat the £0.1m price drop like I have done... that is the option.
You either get rid straight away and risk a replacement maybe getting injured midweek or you let him drop slightly, allowing you to buy more time.
I don't see the problem... if we got rid of price changes altogether, everyone would have the same team, rendering this game pointless.I think you're misunderstanding the point.
If its going to be like this current system, its better scrapped altogether IMO.
I've got no real issue with how it was. Maybe it was a little too exaggerated in price rises. But at least you know where you stand.
Nobody has a clue at the moment.I'm not misunderstanding anything... you're misunderstanding that if price changes didn't exist, we would all have the same team.
Everyone agrees it was much better when we knew when price changes will happen.. but FPL have changed that, so we have to accept it. Scrapping price changes altogether would ruin the game completely.Read again.
You're making out I want it completely scrapped.
As explained. No problem with previous system.
This system doesn't benefit anyone. Anyone at all.
Early decision makers will get burnt.
Late decision makers will get burnt.Or, either or both will get lucky
Same under the previous system. Sounds like what you want is a system whereby price changes only occur on the Friday night.
Your original post... ''Price rises and falls are getting out of hand. Needs to be scrapped completely.''
That suggests you want it completely scrapped.This system. As explained a few times to you specifically now.
Keep going.Not clear from your original post.
Stop being a cry baby bitch hahaNot my fault you can't read.
Take your time. Read carefully. Slowly even.
You quoted this....
"Price rises and falls are getting out of hand. Needs to be scrapped completely."
....
"are getting"
Get it?
If you didn't get it, I explained more in depth over several posts specifically to you. I made it pretty clear to you that it was this system I am talking about. The current one. The only one that matters.
What do you result to in the end?
"Stop being a cry baby bitch haha"
How old are you?I think I know what "DC" stands for now!
they cater for all though not just us hardcores and clearly the majority do want to make early transfers as evidenced by the price changes
Transfers should be disabled until the final whistle of the last game each GW
Its the trade off risk that adds to the excitment though, otherwise there nothing to do durig the week.
I agree with that
Im not understanding everyones issue with the current method.
The same rule applies to everyone, so in no way is it more or less fair to anyone.
Making an early transfer has risk and reward, risk in injuries, reward in price. this is something you need to make the call on.
makes the game more challenging i think.Its less fair to players that like to take their time and make the right decisions.
For instance, I have Ramsey. He gets injured. I'm forced into making a change I didn't really want to make. I'm considering 1 of about 5 or 6 players. Some of which will play in games mid-week. All of which will be training. I'm not going to jump in making a transfer, until I know I am safe to do so. Why would I risk getting an injured player in for another?
I was considering di Maria. di Maria has now gone up 0.1 Ramsey down 0.1.
The GW didn't finish till last night.
It doesn't suit you, is essentially what you're saying.
Adapt or die!Like everyone said, it's part of the game. Same applies for everyone. People who bite the bullet would also like to take their time and make the right decision IDEALLY. If everything was ideal, wouldn't be much of a game now would it.
Take your time and make the right decision, there's not rule against that. It's allowed FYI. Just don't complain about losing team value as well.That was always the case previously though. Nothing has changed in that regard - if last year's system was in place you wouldn't have had any more time to make your decision.
Exactly
This game is about taking risks and gambling. You can just make your transfer end of the week and not care about price rises or falls. Can't have everything.
There was nothing wrong with the game, why do they always have to tinker around. The game was just about perfect
I do however find the profit system stupid. If I've had a player from the start that rose 1.6, and then sold him for a few of weeks, I should be able to buy him back at my current price. Why should I be penalized when I made the right decision to get him in the first place. Think Mark mentioned this in one of his pre match ambles or something last year
He may have mentioned it once or twice...
I HATE this argument. It is based on bad maths. You're not being penalised, you've still made or saved money compared to someone who bought the player at their current price.Better off by 0.1 or 0.2...hardly so
Got side tracked and didnt stress on the point i wanted to originally. My main issue is not being able to sell the player for as much as he's risen. That would be justly rewarding. If he rises after I sell him, I miss out and thats my bad luck.
Yes and if you want that player back in in the future. You have to pay the new price. Bit saft.
The more you look at it the more you start to notice little things wrong.
This will be my last season I think. Across any of the games. Its all started going downhill.
Nout lasts forever. Nout.
They hide it because mankind is driven by the unknown and specaulations
@MAKKINTOSH
iTeam article should be up around 2.30 today (UK time)
last gw i made 2 transfers for a -4 and those 4 points are still not deducted...why???
Which 3 would you play?
Bertrand (tot)
van Aanholt (STK)
Duff (lei)
Caulker (whm)
Hutton (MCI)
Cheers!
PVA
Berty
DuffThats what im on currently, cheers.
Caulker Bert Duff
PVA Caulker Bertrand
Same as Fred for me D1Sable.
For the goal threat i take it? Hmm decisions, decisions.
I personally wouldn't choose Duff because Leicester (as they've emphatically shown couple of weeks ago) have the ability to go on a rampage at home
Have a look and let me know what you think.
Just played the wildcard as I had too many issues:
Mannone
Zabaleta, Ivan, Bertrand, Hutton, Moore
Sterling, Di Maria, Willian, Lallana, Milner
Costa, Pelle, Campbell
Was looking to fit in Courtois, but went with the cheap goalie.
Willian is a punt which will be swapped for a cheapie if it fails, and then spent on getting Sturridge in up front for Pelle.
I think both Willian and Lallana are about to hit form, as is Campbell.
Willian is a risk though in terms of rotation, so I will watch closely.
too many gambles for a wildcard side for me
Who do you consider a gamble? Except Willian obviously, and perhaps partially Lallana?
keep Rooney this week or sell him for this gameweek?
Btw, my other forward is Costa and PelleSell, out for three GW's
sell !!! he wont play until of 2nd november
SELL!
Sell him. Assuming you have a free.
So WC'ing next week. Ship some of this dross.
What dross you need to ship?
Krul - Lovren - Davis - Naismith primarily.
Really want Forster, but have Pelle & Clyne so three SOTs already. That's my problem.
i know you want to get on this ivan and baines wagon with me
Will do Ivanovic > Baines
People considering selling siggy as he's blanked 3 games in a row need to lower their expectations. He cost most of us 6m, you shouldn't expect goals and assists every week. 4-5 ppg would be good enough. Currently he's on 6
One solution i havent heard mentioned is for the prices to change once a week. For example at deadline until sunday, with no transfers being allowed on that day.
Then you wouldnt have to worry about making any transfers early in the weekAnd not just .1 changes either , proper ones that reflect players true value. For example Siggi should now really be 7.5 or 8m.
Have you ever played the Yahoo! game? It works a bit like this. Prices are purely performance based and change weekly.
If all players had exactly the right value it'd spoil the fun of finding bargains and keeping them long term.
What about some sort of points per million (ppm) system. If a player is scoring over a certain pppm (not sure what) then they raise in value to keep a lid on it. Likewise if they drop below a certain ppm. Would keep things fairly balanced maybe.....
Best captain optin next GW ? Im currently on Aguero (C), Sterling (VC)
Hard to call this week.
I'm currently on Aguero but its between him, costa, siggy or sterling for me
For the next 2 weeks, for West Ham, would you rather Sakho or Valencia?
Valencia
Morning DZers! Who to bench:
Haz (ARS) Fab (ARS) Sterling (WHM) DiMaria (EVE) Siggy (NEW)
Pelle (tot) Costa (ARS) Ulloa (BUR)
ThanksHAZ
Siggy
probably Haz on current form and opposition
What trade are you doing this week Trigger?! I enjoy reading your blog
No idea, honestly only know i. Taking rooney our
HELP LADS!!
last gw i made 2 transfers for a -4 and those 4 points are still not deducted...why???Was it your B'day this week?
I have climbed to 331 in the overall ranking, and have 2.2M to spend. I've done my FT for this week so this is more looking ahead.
I'm tempted to leave alone this team as its doing well but I think there are better options for my defence, any pressing transferred required?
Krul - Elliott
Wilson - Bertrand - PVA - Duff - Wasilewski
Fabregas - Siggy - Di Maria - Sterling - Schneiderlin
Aguero - Costa - UlloaAnyone else get the feeling this is going to be a high-scoring gameweek?
I mean, I actually get the feeling it'll be low... Which no doubt means points galore 😀Yeah I thought last week would be high scoring 😆
Never bench Clyne 🙂
So i will play Clyne away to Spurs rather than Moore at home 🙂I'm playing triple saints this week, Clyne, Bertrand and Tadic.
Morning all!
Off on holiday tomorrow so need to sort my team for this weekend..
Which 3 would you play out of:
Shawcross (sun), Clyne (tot), PVA (STO), Bertrand (tot)?
CheersFirst 3 probably
try PVA & ShawX and hope for a nil-nil draw plus either Berty or Clyne - flip a coin. BTW who is DEF No.5?
any ucl team ??? captain for today ??
1. messi
2. hunteller
3. anyone >>Hmm I think I played it too safe this week. Decided to wait until after champions league games, but have now missed Ramsey's drop and Di Maria's rise, all because I wanted to make sure Chambers didn't get injured!
Playing chelsea it wouodnt matter if chambers was injured
I am bringing him as a long term pick in to release funds for Di Maria. It matters if he is injured.
Yeah but only if it was a long injury , there a two week break after the chelsea game. I think you right about being too conservative, especially as Di Maria no midweek game to worry about
I wouldn't bring in an injured player even if short term, but yep I was conservative.
I get waiting to see if the person you want to draft in gets out unscathed....but waiting on Ramsey > Di Maria (who doesn't have a midweek game), just because you might want to use the FT on Chambers if he's injured - that doesn't make sense at all sorry.
anyone considering lukaku for rooney?
everton are up against leaky utd defence and after that game they have pretty decent fixtures.
the other option is welbeck but not a fan of his.It is a shame we have all been forced to make transfers this week, when next week arsenal and Everton are great picks. I'd probably sway towards Welbeck just because of his service.
last gw i made 2 transfers for a -4 and those 4 points are still not deducted...why???????
Add your total scores together Mohit. The total will have removed them. For some reason it doesn't show on your GW score.
you were right mate...cheers 🙂
