We delve into the members data this evening and assess the weekend’s ten fixtures. Everton and United’s misfiring frontmen, Villa’s aerial assault under Tim Sherwood, Palace’s improvement since Alan Pardew took the helm and QPR’s in-form wide man are amongst our Gameweek 26 topics.
Is it worth bringing in a spurs defender for a -4 though?
Unsure, it's hard to predict attacking points.
Most won't get a Spurs
Walker has a good double gameweek history
10 games, one assist, no goals, one clean sheet. No thanks
Certainly a thorny issue amongst many.
Rose the popular option as it standsEvery cowboy sings a sad sad song.
🙂
Is there anything to be said for a Adel Taarabt bandwagon 😉
Rose seems the best option and is cheapest, but also the least nailed of Vertonghen, Walker, and him. If I take a hit it would probably be for Walker.
The answer is none.
I have lloris already. Think i'm set!
Lloris for me.
Vorm will play one of them.
"Picking the right Tottenham defender is the key decision for the double."
Disagree. I don't see the need for any of them.
"Everybody will have Eriksen, Austin, Kane."
Not me. Don't want Austin and am 50/50 about bringing Eriksen in (though I probably will). Kane I already have.
I don't see much value in this DGW and won't be chasing it.
so much this
Those buying Silva. Be warned - it will end in tears!
Why??
Tears of joy so far...
With Aguero, Bony, Dzeko to finish his through balls? Not a chance.
He is the assister of the assister. Nasri is the pick of City mids.
That sounds like stubbornness talking, there. I thought the same; having picked the guy at some point in each of the last few seasons. I got him in again this year when loads of other mids were injured, on a temporary basis, but don't wanna get rid now.
Maybe this season is different...You could be right, in terms of my experience clouding my judgement.
Agree, and Silva looks like he wants to score too. He's almost nailed in my team now
Would normally agree with you, but things seem to be going a little bit differently for him this season!
Hope you prove me wrong, but we have seen the false dawn of FPL Silva before
He's making central runs ahead of the strikers at times, look at his position for his first goal this weekend.. Aguero assisted him against Chelsea and for being the assister to the assister.. his ball to Dzecko was absolute liquid football this weekend.
All good stuff, he's a top-drawer player. Just sharing a player experience that continues to be re-occuring in FPL
'i did sex wee when i saw that pass' Borat accent 😀
Why do I want to get Rooney in and captain him?!
Because he had a shot on goal this weekend.
He has been moved up front, to be fair to him!
JK, it could be a very good move indeed. I, on the other hand, can't do it. Need my 2 FTs and some luck to field 11 players next GW.
Penalties too. It could be a masterstroke
Because he's playing oop 😉
My Utd supporting rival did this last month, having swore off picking from his own team. Result: 50pt lead to 20pt deficit.
How does this look?
This week: terry (lose .1) -> dawson
Next: ADM -> erikson, hutton or bellerin -> walker or any other spurs defender
Week after double: Walker -> Ivanovic
Too many transfers on defenders. I am in a similar boat, wanted 3 spurs, but not overly sold on their defence, especially for hit. Might be Kane, Erikson and Austin for me
I would not be taking any hits though
Hutton to Rose imo
Reckon he'll be a mid next year ?
lost at bottom of last page, guidance appreciated:
2 FTs, only Haz, Fab and Kane for the blank
(a) Wisdom ---> Dawson
(b) Fab -----> Silva
(c) both (and not save a transfer for Rose)
team
Pants
Clyne Hutton Bellerin Clichy Wisdom
Haz Fab Caz Sanchez Downing
Kun Kane Defeo
leaning towards (C). Thanks in advanceI'd get Silva and save a free for the double.
I know, it is tempting, but a risk with Bellerin, Wisdom and Clichy all being risks.
Planning to do a -4 to get Erikson, Austin and Rose in if I save, but could do without Rose if it means getting 11 for this GW.
^^ I'd be thinking this (have similar problem)
- Live Scoutcast feedback
Thanks for those that joined in the live Scoutcast. That'll get edited and released in usual audio form later this week.
Thank you, it was good. The live format works well!
cheers.
Edit granville just to annoy him 🙂
My first time watching, but definitely not the last 🙂
I was playing football and missed it . What exactly is a live Scoutcast and what do you mean join in ?
It was live via youtube - we used the chat function there to involve the community during the broadcast asking us questions etc. Look out for a hot topic with a link to it before we broadcast next time - as it stands it'll be next Monday same time 10 -11 ish.
Bit rusty this week and a couple of gremlins but I think in a few weeks we'll be in full swing.
We'll line up some guests too.
Hopefully we can start scheduling them in YouTube and distributing a link prior to the broadcast so more folk know it's coming.
I'll have to check my availability.
I wouldn't hold you breath 😉 . Evs is guaranteed to be the first guest . Get him quickly before he retires
*quits in a sulk
You will be back 🙂 . You will probably be on at some point or another 🙂 . I make too many mistakes and generally annoy people on here so I will probably never be considered 🙁
I meant Evs 😉
Glad you are not quitting this is me right now 🙁 http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/739593/egg-on-face.jpg?_ga=1.76038493.974639352.1424736763
Will Evs have a testimonial match when he retires?
I'm not reffing it anyway
I shall play, my silky Hazard skills will wow all present.
Jose? ala goals on sunday? 😀
Great idea 🙂 . Looking forward to it
Hope it continues! Great format, especially for us Yanks just home from work
It was very good, thanks to the 3 of you, though as I said on the last page, I did think I'd tuned in to a David Brent lookalike competition. The goatee in good health on these pages!
It was the beardiest scoutcast yet.
They have to do the dance next live scoutcast
My girlfriend woke up and thought I was lying in bed Skyping 3 bearded men on my iPad. Questions were asked, and the answer "it's about fantasy football" only made it worse if anything.
😆
😀 😀
lol
Brilliant 🙂
Good to put a face to a name. For some bizarre reason I pictured Mark and Granville the other way round!
What, Granville as the handsome one? 😉
😆
No I meant you both look like your heads on upside down!
I enjoyed it very much, I got mentioned and everything, Internet fame here I come 😉
I look forward to the next time one 🙂*happens
premature posting.Well done Mark you created a monster 😉
Need to get better at ff, but then yes, the monster shall be born 😆
It will be a cross between the Simple Life and Keeping it up with the Kardashians 😉
I need a far bigger ass for that 😆
You could always pull a Kayne on the last day of the season after Mark wins FPL and say I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best fantasy football teams of all time!
I am 100% pro this.
I look forward to it 🙂
😆
Brilliant, just went on YouTube & seen, look forward to hearing
Have you seen the Dyche interview Steve-o? He speaks very well
just watched and left reply on last page to some one who posted, was very good. Slightly disagree with the Barnes bit in terms of he knew what he was doing leaving his foot in lot longer then he should or needs to.
classy speakerYes, I absolutely applaud the guy... I almost parody him what he says (regarding the financial state etc) but yes, I'm very proud he's our manager... I saw his interview today regarding the whole Barnes incident.. fabulous
Cheers for the Scoutcast chaps- brightened up my Monday!
Logged in before bed to say great job all. Enjoyed it and looking forward to next one.
I'd love to see more of Granville's cat and his super strength
Just caught up after a couple of manic days - can't help but feel you're trying to put the mockers on me with some of those comments! 😉
I missed the live version but I would like the live version to be viewable afterterwards unedited (as well as an edited version for those who want it)
It is on youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIyMJLC03FUThanks
Highly enjoyable listen 🙂
Is there a link to the pundits league, so we can see the teams as they discuss their fortunes?
amost all here not being able to get into FPL via google nor mozilla or any way to get in?
w price changes today, will have to accept it i gather.Anyone think Eriksen will fall much this week? Need him to go down -2 to afford him for DGW.
0.1 maybe, doubt 0.2, but would help
Are loads of folk really getting rid of him ?!
Such a fickle game.
i am considering it as he is the only one of my four (ivanovic, hazard, kane) blankers who wouldn't cost me anything to buy back again a week later. Plus, if i get rid of ivanovic instead, it just means i'm playing 5 defenders this week which is never fun.
Blank Game Week success!!
Just checked my ML rival (he is 1st by 10 points)
He has 3 Chelsea, 2 Spurs, 1 QPR and Colback - 7 players out and only one transfer.
Anyone else got any potential success stories from people not preparing for the blank?How could you be behind someone like that, ffs ??! 😆 😀 😉
haha Just realised that myself. I am so ashamed.
he also has Jaanmat and Chambers - this could be the week I finally take 1st.
Also leads me to question why I am currently losing to him.your better than that Fiona 😀
I know, forgive me FFS gods. In my defence this guy is one of those jammy casuals that make nonsensical decisions that always seem to pay off.
There will be a lot. PVA dropped, one or two injuries, carrying Alderweireld etc.
I'm fifth in Manager of the month cash league and most of them above have 6 or 7 out. They're mostly all casuals but I still haven't managed to win one this season despite being 100 points ahead overall. Been second about 5 times. This could be the one where it's me who comes from nowhere to snatch the cash
A lot in the kitty?
500 quid for overall winner and 100 quid a month for MOM.
nice, good luck, this could easily be the week to steal a march
I was playing for the DGW but I think a lot can be won and lost this weekDefo, if you have Kane and Ericksen next week I think that's enough if the rest of your team is strong anyway
Which one would you choose?
A) Baird to haidara
B) Skrtel to Bertrand (long term, thinking skrtel will get 1 or 2 points)A looks decent, I'm considering Wisdom to Haidara to free up cash for DGW.
Thanks
Have you seen Newcastle's fixtures?
B
Reckon we'll see another DGW or two before season end ?
GW 34 for chelsea
I know. Meant any additional to the ones we already know about.
DGW37 for some of the FA Cup semifinalists
2FTs, currently 10 starters and CL games pending I'm thinking;
A) Fab to Caz or Silva (had Fan since day 1)
B) Ivan to ???
C) Play 10 (includes PVA)
D) Something else (maybe drunk Friday night transfer)
Any thoughts?If I do a boring defender transfer with one of my two FTs this week, should it be Baird or PvA out?
Think PVA has more chance of getting his spot back, so on that basis, Baird
Baird
who needs to go more urgently
PVA or Wisdom?
ps. nailed on WBA defenders if any?Wisdom > Dawson
Wisdom. He ain't getting any mins under Pardew so farm
*far
pulis you mean
Yep...sorry. Cheers. Knew it started with a P 😉
I have 2 fts and have Wisdom and Baird. Should I lose one and only play 10 this weekend so I have 2 frees for the dgw?
If you have kane, you only need 1 ft for the dgw
What about Eriksen and Austin?
Eriksen seems like a good pick for DGW, even though there is a rotation risk. Not sure on Austin yet. I'd say unless you can get someone who has a high probability of getting a CS this week, might be better to just play with 10 and save FT.
Which not nailed on plyers should I shift from my team with 2FT. Selling two and keeping one most likely will result in having 10 starters this week.
A. PVA
B. Wisdom
C. WalcottIf walcott doesn't play against monaco, i think he will start against Everton but it's just a guess
That's also my thinking, thanks.
PVA may or may not get his place back but as one of my only 11 with a game, do I really want him away to Man U? 😕
Have you seen Man U play recently?
You don't think they will score?
I think they will, but they aren't exactly a terrifying force at the moment.
true, but i want 2 frees for the double......... plus utd arent all that these days 😉
True. Even if he plays he could easily end up with a 0 or 1 pointer. Really want to save my FT though.. Got 11 playing with pva.
No, but if you have three other playing defenders it might be worth keeping him.
I do but they are all needed this week
I'm selling Hazard for Ozil and playing 352. I'll lose 0.5 when I want him back, but I aren't playing for team value.
Not sure selling the highest scoring player when Chelsea need to vounce back is a good idea atm tbh
He has Jenkinson and Clyne marking him in his next games. I'm hoping they could reduce his output, while I get a free punt at Ozil.
play dawson or hutton this gameweek?
Dawson. If WBA.
Evening chaps, is there any way I could avoid using my wildcard this week?
http://i.imgur.com/An5raUN.png
I'm half considering just doing a 4pt hit on my defence and hoping two of the other defenders make cameos... Should I just bite the bullet and press the button? 😆
WC immediately
This..
I have never seen 24 before and I am currently on season 4 . I imagine Jack Bauer would say : Wildcard DO IT NOW !!!!!!!!!!!! 😉
😀
See how many players out your ML rivals have first, it could be a good way to make up ground or pull ahead. If you push the button I would get rid of Terry, keep Haz and Kane on the bench and leave enough to get Ericksen in next week
Cheers, I'm not too concerned with MLs anymore, it's all about OR! 😀
I'm still undecided who to draft in for next week but Austin looks good too!Nice rank mate. I've got Kun, Kane and Giroud so pretty happy they'll do well that week. QPR at home to Arsenal and Spurs isn't floating my boat too much, but then again I've played my WC so I would say that!
Think I'd wildcard Lawro, especially with Walcotts game time uncertain too
Thanks. I should've wildcarded a few gameweeks ago and am just trying to cling on 😀
It's probably for the best...Yeah, got to be done I reckon. Seen some teams posted on here that look worse off than yours and they've used their wildcard, so you've done well to keep it till now
Can any of you gents tell me when Silva will rise?
ThanksTonight I think... But I'm not the most reliable on these things 🙂
hazard or costa for chelsea coverage btw not this week for the future 🙂
Haz
Terry to:
A) Cresswell
B) Clyne
C) Other - please suggest!
Keep in mind, this is for -4, and I already own Fonte. Need to sub Terry out to play 11 this week.Clyne seems fine, could be a 0-0, or a United defender.
Half way through his horrific fixtures and I'm pretty pleased with Cresswell. Downing though is testing me.
right, how nailed is dawson?
wba dawson, that is
A lot more than Baird or Wisdom! Think he's played nearly every game under Pulis
4 sleeps til pay day
yippee..... xmas and jan always leave me with a big dent in the bank
A) Wisdom/Defoe -> Dawson/Austin for -4 hit
B) Wisdom/Sanchez/Defoe -> Dawson/ADM/Giroud for -8 hit
I know not many will agree with Sanchez out, but I think Cazorla is good enough for ARS mid cover at the moment.Wouldn't even consider a -8 in what's gonna be a low scoring week anyway
no game for QPR
Any idea if Bellerin is going to play against Monaco? Was he drop as a precaution or Chambers is here to stay? (Playing fantasy CL)
Bellerin had a slight ankle injury from what I understand. Looks a precautionary move.
Does this look a safe plan for the next two weeks?
Forster
Hutton Clyne Cresswell O'Shea
Shelvey Mane Cazorla Silva
Aguero Defo
Gilks Terry Hazard Kane
£3.8 ITB to go Shelvey/Mane to Erikssen and Defoe to Austin for the double.
Drop Shelvey or Mane?
Pick the best two defender for a total of 8.6
Hadiara and Dawson
We're a fickle bunch, 3 weeks ago, everyone was advising me to get rid of Silva, now he's flavour of the month 🙂
People were talking about ditching Sanchez last night
And lol at all the complaints about Ivan being in the watch list ahead of Terry 😆
And Costa not being in the scout picks
Made two bad errors on my wildcard- shipped Silva and Kane. Thankfully I swallowed my pride and got them both back in before too much damage was done. Missed Silva's goal vs Chelsea and Kane's haul vs Arsenal though
Is Mirallas injured and will he play vs Arsenal? Cheers
don't think hes injured just not interested in playing for EFC, so just being benched, wouldn't touch him.
Already bought him last gw, dat mistake... Not sure if I should get Moses in for -4 so I can have 10 players on the pitch... Ty m8
9 years, 2 months agoPicking the right Tottenham defender is the key decision for the double.
Everybody will have Eriksen, Austin, Kane
