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.
-
I am going to save my FT this week even though I have Pva and Walcott who may not play.
2ft next week will be extremely helpful and this week is going to be low scoring for most anyway.-
I used my transfers to maker sure I can field a full team. Playing a 4-4-2, so low scoring is ok with me.
-
-
Good day,
Due to being new to this/not being the biggest BPL fan, in a bit of a pickle for next GW.
Krul (Panti)
PVA Baird Clyne (Terry Wasi)
Sanchez Cazorla Mane JWP (Hazard)
Kane** Aguero Giroud
Can anyone make suggestions so I could field apn ok 4-4-2 please? Only have 1 FT, no problems with taking a hit honestly-
Any money in the bank?
-
Not a penny lol. So it'll be like for like swaps basically
-
Wasi may never get back into the team, so him for anyone you can afford.
-
-
-
Maybe one of the hull defenders. I think Bruce is 3.9? You can bring him in for Wasi.
Otherwise maybe Terry to Cresswell and wait for a window to do Wasi to Zouma later.-
Thank you. Was actually thinking Wasi> Haidara for a week
And JWP> Boyd (too many SOU in my mid)-
With Baird having a high chance of not starting that still leaves you short. I suggest Terry and Wasi out for maybe C Dawson/Lescott and Naughton. That should free you some cash for swapping JWP to Bentaleb (or Mane to someone like Eriksen) down the road
-
Or even JWP to Chadli if you're a gambling man!
-
In fact...
Could you do this?
Terry & Wasi > Lescott & Naughton this week, JWP & Giroud > Eriksen & Austin next (-4)
-
-
-
-
-
-
A) PvA > Dawson
B) Baird > Naughton-
B.
-

For all those who are considering a transfers tonight (silva mainly) but in general please please wait until at least tomorrow night, Silva or Aguero (other Man City players but not toure) could get injured giving you an extra headache.
I think most will have one of Silva or Aguero or other MC players, just do the transfer tomorrow if needs be-
Silva will be 0.1 more expensive tomorrow. I already have him but if I wanted him and didn't have him I wouldn't wait.
-
Its ok if you don't have him but as you do it's fine, may not get injured but then again could so trying to help people out who consider buying him just for the 0.1 gain
-
Sorry meant do have him
-
-
-
I think it's too late he is over 100 % on fpl statistics 97.5 % accuracy on falls
-
I won't be doing any transfers earlier than Friday unless I only have exact cash
-
You don't want Silva.
-
Agree though for example fab out to someone without Europe would be ok
-
-
1st free transfer made. Wisdom --> Dawson
What to do with the next? 2.4m ITB.
Krul
Clyne, Bellerin, Dawson, van Aanholt
Silva, Cazorla, Moses, Sterling
Aguero, Defoe
Pantilimon, Hazard, Terry, Kane-
Save but may be a different question tomorrow giving silva and Aguero play tomorrow who could get injured
-
Is van Aanholt likely to play?
-
Not sure TBH but hard to call a transfer until games are played tomorrow, plus tott play Thurs? so may best wait until later in week.
Money not that much of an issue post WC its about picking the best players
-
-
-
-
With Fabregas likely to fall tonight and his tendency to drop off in the second half of the season, and Terry's returns looking poorer without Matic in front of him, then who would you transfer out?
I have two FTs this week and can't make up my mind between:
Terry to Dawson/Skrtyl/Bertrand
Fab to Mane/Ki/Kouyate
Foster Myhill
Terry Clyne PVA* Hutton Collins*
Silva Haz Fab Caz Boyd
Kun Defoe Kane
Any help would be appreciated.-
Wait until tomorrow night as per my previous posts
-
Good advice, Steve.
Having said that then which transfer should I make tomorrow?-
I will be here tomorrow, ask again then
-
Will do.
Cheers.
-
-
-
-
If you do Terry to Dawson can't you upgrade Fabregas. Or Fab to Nasri.
-
Will fab become Erik? I'd take a one week punt on mane from the ones you mention though must be some other options as well like ozil for example
-
-
100% correct. I want Silva but he's playing a tough opponent in Barcelona tomorrow..big injury risk for a measly 0.1m that won't break me or the bank.
-
I think his chances of injury diminish dramatically because City will never have the ball 🙂
-
haha 😆
-
Could pull a hammy chasing shadows
-
-
Exactly sinik plus a injury to Ags gives plenty of money to invest elsewhere if he gets injured, sometimes my posts seem a little weird to get my post across hence people ignore me
-
-
Forster (Hamer)
Clyne - Terry - Dummett - Wisdom - Kos
Boyd - Silva - ADM - Haz - Walters
Kane - Aguero - Giroud
2FT
This week - Dummett --> Dawson
Next week - Wisdom & ADM --> Rose & Eriksen
Sound plan? -
Any mods around?
-
Sort of, whats up?
-
Just wondered your take on "the fantasy freak" offer to give his team away, read it this morning and been out ever since. So not had chance to comment. Firstly I really don't think this should have been stickied it surely goes against the fairness of the game. Fpl clearly states that duplicate teams will be deleted, obviously posters on here already have a team so is this team then going to be taken over and will the poster then delete their own team? I doubt it.
Now bare with me.
The fantasy freak was a part of the Netherlands fantasy football hockey world cup team, all players had to submit there user ID. I kept the list and decided to have a look at the Netherlands team and clicked on the fantasy freaks team a while ago. Here is the link
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0Aul0PglyD-ESdFhCb19CWWo3LVpxcUVWMGVIOHdkNHc&usp=drive_web
From this you will see by clicking on the fantasy freak the team for some strange reason while doing well was deleted.
So which is the right link to his team? The one he is portraying or the deleted player from the teams above. This is something myself and the rest of team Argentina discussed not too long ago. There is foul play going on somewhere
Sorry for the long winded post, but things don't add up and just wanted to get it off my chest.-
whole heartedly agree with this
I don't think his post should have been highlighted, it's against the rules to have duplicate teams and something about the whole thing doesn't add up.
It's not fair to those of us who play by the rules.-
He's def screwing the system one way or the other. Bet he owns multiple accounts. Either way it should be promoted as a good thing on here.
-
-
Furthermore to add to my post the "fantasy freak" or deleted player has removed himself from all leagues. Now if you click on a genuine Netherlands player you will find they set a league up between themselves. Squad sizes for the tournament were 15 players each side, this league still has 15 players participating in it. Yet the fantasy freak has removed himself from all leagues.
Someone care to explain?????-
Spectrum Holmes 😉
-
Sess do you remember us discussing this exact thing through email a few months ago between team Argentina.
-
Yeah mate. It's fishier than a Sea Life Centre.
-
-
-
Hi Spectrum. Saniul was the non-playing manager of our team. A few other teams had additional 'mascots' and such, but we only had 15 playing members.
I gather TFF chose to leave our league as he was getting high in the rankings and wanted to play his cards close to his chest - I'm guessing there though.
About the multiple teams, this is news to me - I'm confident that we only used the one team for the tournament though (like you say it was linked in the spreadsheet).
Sorry I can't be more helpful - that's all I know about it.-
Nice to see some input from a Netherlands player anyway on the matter Reedy.
-
No problem. A belated congratulations to you anyway - was a bit busy moving house at the end so not sure I got around to saying it 🙂
-
That's ok mate you can congratulate me when I beat you in the fa cup of tea next round 😉
-
Haha. You'll be lucky - I crashed out in round 1
-
Really, I must recheck the scores then ha ha
-
🙂
-
-
Oh god your right I miscounted, I've been checking your team this week 🙂
-
-
-
-
-
-
Hey there Spectrum, and all.
As a genuine member of the Netherlands team, and an FPL player of ages, I think I need to have my input in this. I was surprised to read the accusation of 'foul play' going on somewhere, so I give the Team a look. It's true that we have set up a league up between ourselves - currently we have 15 teams, but then like Reedy said Reedy said Saniul was the non-playing manager of our team during the tournament. Here's the link to the League:
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/my-leagues/665778/standings/
I've checked all accounts with the Tournament Sheet and all the 14 players are there + Saniul the gaffer - except TFF. And yeah the multiple teams issue is news to me - I have no idea why TFF would do it, but i can assure you that Team Holland played by the rule and not 1 secondary account was used during the tourney - we even had a private mail discussions and TFF was active - using the now-defunct ID #358524.
Hope this clears some air - we may be tough on the field but we're no cheats 😉-
I don't think there has been any suggestion of foul play by Netherlands and haven't read anything to suggest that... just an observation.
-
scroll up and you'll find the words of foul play.. maybe not directed towards the Team, but as TFF was a member of the team, I have rights to be semi-insulted 😆
-
I must admit, I could never figure out how Team Belgium never won that comp! 😉
-
we missed the second round by 1 point 🙁
-
😥
-
Screw you Krul
-
-
-
-
-
-
I never doubted the integrity of you guys, thanks for clearing this up all the same though.
-
no problem mate. I agree that something fishy is going on, but hopefully the good spirit of FFS remains tight.
-
-
Thanks for this NABIL. Yes, I wasn't sure how to take that but I assumed Spectrum meant foul play by TFF (the multiple teams issue; which I can't answer to).
I wouldn't have a word said against Team Oranje though!-
This was indeed the case, sorry if you guys perceived it differently I was just trying to highlight my observations
-
No probs mate. I must admit I'm not a fan of multiple teams, 'my wife's team', 'my dog's team' myself
-
no need to apologize bud, we're all in the same train - the FPL enthusiasts@addicts 😉
-
-
Cheers Reedy. Yeah only our pal TFF can answer that - but I'm sure he menas no harm to the community. It's his style - flamboyant yet over the top 😀 A very well done for his achievements, nonetheless.
-
Ha yes indeed. I think I'd need a million teams to get one that high
-
-
-
Team Holland, and you... Nabil are above scrutiny 😉 great post. But this gut TFF is a fraud. Your good nature meant you let him into your team, but he's a sneaky sneakster
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/02/23/scout-notes-gameweek-26-sunday-3/?hc_page=2#hc_comment_9794338-
Wow...I've got some reading to do!
-
I've actually read that before I made my post. Top post from you too, old timer. I, for one, is a strong advocate against multiple teams ('my wife's team', 'my dog's team, etc.) and it's sure signal that you're not just obsessed but addicted to the game. Some people did that just for the sake of getting into/climbing up the Hall of Fame? Come on.
-
But my wife does have a team..... generalisation as some women do play the game.... ask Lucy
-
-
-
-
Still couldn't beat the great gauchos though! 😀 Seriousky though, shame that 1 person has to let the side down like this, it goes against the integrity and honesty of the game. The Netherlands are great lads and were excellent in the tourney on and off the field! Shame they had a bit of a bad egg. Agree that multiple accounts is not on and shouldn't be in any way condoned yet alone promoted.
-
-
Nice one Spectrum 🙂 I just posted something similar at the end of his hot topic. Coincidental timing !!
-
It's been bugging me all day RCA
-
Don't blame you. I'm having an awful time of it recently. Dropped out of the top 20k.
But I bet I'm beating his "first" team. If his top 10 OR team was his only one, I'd be the first to lay on the congrats posts. So annoying and so against the spirit of the game.
We're all here to help each other and be nice. A few poxy quizzes and a fake second team, however well it's doing, is just puke inducing. As is his pitiful, attention seeking post about someone taking over his team.
*puuuke
-
-
-
I love a good mystery. This is a case for Sherlock Holmes. Not seen him about today?
-
He posted earlier under the alias of the fantasy freak 🙂
-
Bad luck gameweek, licking wounds.....
-
-
Morning all, another member of Team Örängē here and gotta admit I'm blown away by this whole thing!
All I can say is we were never aware during the games that TFF had multiple accounts and as far as I can see within the tournie no lines were crossed and if we did it was not intentional.
Thanks Spectrum for pointing out your findings, rest assured Team Örängē is currently taking the whole matter quite seriously and under internal review.
HVT.-
No fingers being pointed at you guys HVT your gamesmanship isn't even in question in the tournament
-
-
-
-
@Spectrum, we've had all sorts on this forum over the years and most eventually get found out sooner or later.
In fairness this is one of the more entertaining Mittyesque stories I've seen on here. 🙂-
I would be interested in purchasing his team but my other team is top 5. I just choose to lurk with that team my username is Commodore 64 🙂
-
🙂
-
You could take down one of the competitors.
I have 4 of the other top 10 so want to get tff team to add to my portfolio and gain a controlling interest.
Those tickets are mine
:evillaugh: -
Are you 'internal error' in disguise???
-
-
-
I've put this forward to Jonty and Co. Probably won't be dealt with till they wake up
-
Ok cheers Ryan. And on that note I'm off to sleep, thanks for all your support and backing on my post guys.
-
No sweat spectrum holmes - congrats again and cheers for your input on the issue. Adios amigo (I don't know how they say it in Dutch 😆 )
-
-
-
-
considering possible transfers; are they good moves?...
Ozil --> Silva
Elia --> Walters or Moses (probably Walters)
Wisdom --> Naughton
thanks!-
Sorry team not linked so unable to comment
team?
Money in bank?
FT?-
1 FT; about 1.5 or so itb
current squad:
Pantilimon, Myhill
Wollscheid, Lescott, Hutton, Terry, Wisdom
Sanchez, Cazorla, Ozil, Hazard, Elia
N'Doye, Kane, Aguero
thanks!-
I would prob hold for now and make changes later in week, you could do Hazard to Silva this week (post tomorrows game), most don't like it but Silva has good fixtures plus you can bring Hazard in back later
-
Ozil --> Silva ? already have Sanchez and Cazorla, too
-
ozil to silva is a good call, especially with Leicester game to come. get in before he rises - I doubt he will get injured in the UCL game and even if he did you would be in the same boat as everyone else bringing him in
-
-
-
-
-
-
Please can someone link me to Mark's team? How is he doing this season?
-
Click my linked team in profile and go to mods league. He's flying
-
-
Afternoon fellas. Appreciate the views!
Foster (Myhill)
Clyne - Terry** - Wasi** - Wisdom* - PVA*
Sanchez - Hazard** - Boyd - Silva - Mane
Giroud - Aguero - Kane**
2.7m ITB, 2FT
A) Wisdom & Wasi > Lescott & Naughton this week, Mane & Giroud > Eriksen & Austin next (-4)
B) Wisdom & Wasi > Lescott & Haidara this week, Mane > Eriksen next week
C) Wisdom & Wasi > Lescott & Naughton this week, ignore Eriksen and Austin next week and save
D) Something different...
I'm thinking that A gives me better cover for PVA than B. A variant of B might be Bentaleb in for Boyd instead of the Giroud switch, but tbh that doesn't appeal much either.
Cheers 🙂-
A
-
Cheers big ears
-
-
-
So, my defence is worrying me. What should I do this week?
Forster
Bruce-PVA-Wisdom-Bellerin
Sanchez-Silva-Boyd-ADM
Aguero-Giroud
Hamer-Kane-Azpi-Haz
2FT 0.0itb
Thinking of bringing in one or two Spurs players next week. Who to change from Wisdom, Bellerin, PVA og Azpi?-
Wisdom and Azpi for my money. Neither will play this round. There's no point buying a DGW player at the expense of an 11th man the week before.
-
Have done Wisdom->Dawson. Who would you get in for Azpi?
-
Who can you afford from Southampton? Can you get Bertrand?
-
yeah, but already have Forster in goal, maybe getting a City def..
-
-
-
-
-
Soldado for the double game week, anyone?
-
interesting differential, without doubt. Would rather go Austin
-
😯
-
Not a chance. He's not even a lock on PKs anymore
-
-
Is PVA-> Yoshida a good move for the next few games atleast, have no Southampton defense cover, if Alderweireld is fit, will he start straightaway
-
No idea. But I wouldn't take the risk.
-
Don't do that. Alderwerield could be fit this weekend and that means yoshida back on the bench. Alderwerield will always be picked ahead of him.
-
yes for a 2 week lay off. now a two month layoff and counting. will need a couple of reserve games to get fitness back.
-
-
-
Recent squad issues, please help/ advise
Normal team:
Krul (Hamer)
Terry - Clyne - Jones (PVA, Wisdom)
Haz - Sanchez - ADM - Silva (Marney)
Aguero - Giroud - Kane
2FTs and WC available, 0.1m itb:
My initial thoughts are:
GW27: Marney, Wisdom --> Boyd, Bruce (11 playing players if PVA plays)
GW28: ADM, Krul --> Eriksen, Lloris (bench PVA)
GW29: sub out PVA if not recalled to starting line up in previous gws -
Team advice please!
Panti - Foster
Terry - Bert - Moreno - PVA - Wasil
Cazorla - Oscar - Hazard - ADM - Boyd
Aguero - Kane - Defoe
2ft and 0.8itb!-
Oscar->Coutinho/Sterling?
-
Hmm I don't like the look of their fixtures though.. Was thinking maybe Ozil? then ADM -> Eriksen?
-
That sound very good, no doubt about that!
-
-
-
Change Wasi, maybe PVA. Just as important to get 11 out this week as it is to get DGWers in next!
-
Wasi and PVA to who?
-
Naughton and Haidara? Or if you can afford to, someone like Lescott over Haidara. Nailed on, CS chances benefiting from Pulis effect, has improved his goal threat.
-
I can do all 4 of wollscheild, lescott, haidara and naughton. Which 2? I actually like the look of Wolls and naughton in for Moreno and Wasil.
-
-
-
-
defoe to Austin next week.
-
Yeh planning on Oscar -> Eriksen and Defoe -> Austin for a -4
-
-
-
In a fairly decent position, 2FTs and 2.6m ITB, but trying to find some gain in GW27 somewhere....
Krul - Panti
Clyne - P.Jones - PvA - Hutton - Wisdom
Caz - Alexis - Silva - Walters - {Haz}
Kun - JD - {Kane}
Advice much appreciated.-
JD...?
-
Probably Jermain Defoe
-
Makes sense.
In that case I suggest benching Haz, Kane, PVA this week, sell Wisdom for a starter and bank the other freebie. Then Cazorla and Defoe out for Austin and Eriksen in the DGW.
-
-
-
I'd > sakho / cisse / giroud
-
*JD
-
-
-
Not seen any highlights of the weekend but is Bellerin likely to start this weekend?
-
I hope so..
-
-
Got 2 FT's and 1.7m ITB, any help/advice appreciated!
Ospina
PVA Baird Wolly Coloccini
Boyd ADM Caz Sterling
Aguero Giroud
Panti Haz Terry Kane
Thinking Baird/PVA > Naughton-
naughton good call
-
-
Benching 3 blanks, and I have Wisdom and PVA with 0.6 allows me for a 5.0 defender and a 4.3, ie Lescott/Naughton or I can get a 4.8 (McAuley) and a 4.5 defender. Any suggestions?
-
should I do Ozil --> Silva right now?
also have Sanchez and Cazorla in midfield-
No
-
is Silva definitely increasing in price tonight tho?
-
Yeah he will.
-
No to the transfer, seems unnecessary
-
Wait imo, if only u have exact fund then do it now
-
-
-
-
Fun game! Please list these defenders in order of preference? Value for money is a factor. Cheers 😀
B) Bellerin
C) Coloccini
D) C Dawson
H) Haidara
L) Lescott
N) Naughton-
B

-
-
Who is the best one week striker punt this week under 6.6m? Have Kane already.
-
Serious question?! Papiss hands down! Might bring him and give him the armband myself.
-
What about sakho or Ings?
-
good options yes. Have you seen Cisse's PPM though? It is immense. Sakho is a bit of form and while i do like Ings i feel swans are much tougher than villa.
-
out of form*
-
-
I vote ings
-
-
-
I kinda think N'Doye. Yes he's away from home, but Stoke's defence is in tatters. It's really beginning to tell - letting four in against City (whom they are normally a bogey side for, at the Brittania at least) and they even contrived to concede against Villa.
N'Doye's in good form and I can see him having some joy against Stoke this weekend.
-
-
What do you think would be right number of payers playing twice for the GW28?
-
2-3.
Kane then Austin and/or Eriksen.-
Yeah looking for that, Wasn't sure about if i should get rose though
-
Probably shouldn't.
-
-
-
Three
-
-
Looking at Terry, Wisdom & Oscar out, Skrtl, Dawson and Silva in, but I only have the exact amount to do it..
.. I know I should wait til Silva plays but isn't he likely to go up? And are any of my trans out gonna drop tonight? -
If you guys had to put your life on one of Sanchez/Giroud or Messi scoring tomorrow who would your sterling be on
-
Messi, Sanchez, Giroud in that order
-
Not a time to be a maverick with those stakes. Messi easily.
-
-
Is that big dafty Somalion around?
-
He's probably watching Star Wars somewhere.
-
He's going to be p1ssed when he finds out ole Darths a baddie....
-
-
-
I feel this gameweek is going to be surprisingly explosive
-
That's what I'm hoping for.
-
-
My defence is currently:
Foster Krul
Terry Clyne Bellerin PvA Naughton
6.2m to spend, PvA to:
(A) Vergini/Réveillere
(B) Wollschield
(C) Dawson
(D) Bertrand
