We delve into the Gameweek 30 data this evening in our first members article of the international break. Our attentions turn to Villa and QPR’s in-form assets ahead of the double, whilst we also analyse City, United and Liverpool midfielders and take a look at Swansea and Palace’s lone frontmen.
How he's been left out is beyond me. On this seasons form, he should be 1st pick.
Roy can't just go on FPL score, you know? 😉
Ha, nor the best defence in the league by the looks of it.
Just because he is part of the best defence, does not make him the best LB for England though. The selected LB's all have more attacking returns than Bert(minute adjusted)
Primary role of a defender is to defend though. Bertrand and Clyne have been superb this season, in both defending and attacking. Both are very attacking.
Was genuinely surprised not to see him called up, and then to see Baines and Gibbs ahead of him.
Baines has been injured for lots of the season and Gibbs isn't playing first team football.Used to be, but now fullbacks are wingers more and more.
I'd put Saints defence down to the system than the individual defenders. England won't be playing a Schneiderlin/Wanyama shield.
Baines has good attacking returns while playing in a bad defensive system - does that mean you discard him from the squad despite him being there since Roy took over? Agreed on Gibbs thoughFor me, the two I'd have picked are Bertrand (100% on merit) and Baines I guess, he provides the experience.
England will have Carrick / Hendo as a defensive shield.Yeah, toss up between Rose and Bert for me. Probably would have gone Bert to have the relationship with Clyne as you say
*shudders at the thought of Carrick/Hendo being the shield vs anyone other than Lithuania*Meh, wouldn't worry me to much to be fair.
Hendo is having a great season, although He might be playing further forward if I think about it.
And Carrick, well I rate the guy. Think when he plays, United look loads better. Does the simple things well, as they say.Rate both of them, however just not as defensive midfielders. Wanyama/Schneiderlin is mostly destructive with energy to get up the pitch. Hendo is basically box to box, while Carrick sits and plays but has never really been one to mix it. They might work well in a good attacking style, but it is England.... 😉
Sorry all got called away at work. Thanks for responses.
Got Fonte and Bertrand and no Swansea defenders. Get Davis or Fabianski? With Fabianski it leaves a spot open for Mane. But with K. Davis I save money and can save even more by doing Fonte>Naughton down the road. Around 2M right there.
This. Davis/Naughton. Bye bye Fonte.
why do you want swansea defenders?
Two cleanies in four and nice fixtures not enough for you?
International matches are bad enough, but international friendlies ...
Superb tactical game
This
Hi everyone, looks like ozil will play the full friendly vs australia.... Any gooners think he's at risk of rotation, or think that Ramsay is a better pick?
Is anyone considering Coleman/Baines?
Nope
Yep. Goalman
I am considering Baines:

Overall 6.3%
Top 1000: 0.6%

Any assists for Eriksen tonight?
1
Cheap goalkeepers 🙂 🙂
Myhill
So is K. Davis safe to get or can Boruc be recalled?
K. Davis looks like he's put on a bit of mass and he's 38.
Isn't Fabianski a safer bet as he is more nailed?
Someone posted on here recently that Boruc cannot be recalled.
Sorry can't remember who it was, although he said he was mates with Shane Long??Great source. 😛
Scotland 1 up.
Berra header from excellant Matt Ritchie corner.
Ritchie looks a find.
Sam Cunningham @samcunningham 7m7 minutes ago
Been told Fraser Forster injury could keep him out for more than 12 months. Huge blow. #saintsfc
😯
Terrible
Poor guy 🙁
Awful news, put in a great season at Carrow Road so really gutted for him
Broken knee cap isn't it?
Massive shame! Has been a top player this season.They'll have to sign someone else. Boruc out of contract and K. Davis is 38!
Bad situation for the club. They can have worldclass Brad Jones for Clyne.Ha
😯 Terrible news
Real shame to hear that
I can't decide between Fabianski or Davis, can anyone help me decide who is more sensible option for the rest of the season?
K. Davis if he's first choice...but I'm thinking Fabianski because I got double Southampton. Not confident going triple Southampton with a new keeper.
I'm also thinking that and I am very tempted to bring Mané in the week after so maybe Fabianski? He has decent fixtures
Good evening. I am sure rhis will have been discussed before but do you think there is any chance Boruc may be recalled by Southampton.
Very unlikely. Can't happen without agreement from Bournemouth and special dispensation from FIFA which would only be given in an extreme emergency (i.e. no GKs left available at the club).
Good. Think I will get in Davies then
Thanks for that. I just wasn't sure how it worked
Bournemouth?
Yes, Bournemouth.
Really?
Yes, really.
You sure?
Too many mixed messages imo, will ask again later with different crowd on
Are you actually a monkey or is it just your grav?
Nice commuting distance from Southampton. Bournemouth are doing well this season
Good to be time to punt on Pelle
*Long
How'd you figure?
Southampton according to rule 6.6.3 can recall Boruc BUT apparently he didn't leave on a good note with the manager. And his contract runs out at the end of the season so he may not want to come back.
These rules might not apply to the premier league. -.-
I'll keep digging haha.
Apparently he has a neck injury right now too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5CwYS_1PVQ
Best left where he is
I have posted several times. Please listen. He is not being recalled.
It is governed by FIFA rules.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/03/23/this-much-we-know-gameweek-30-3/?hc_page=1#hc_comment_9989863
So the consensus among fans is that Boruc won't be recalled because of his relationship with the manager and fans.
Koeman certainly had enough faith with K. Davis letting Boruc go out on loan.
Only situation that might make it happen is if Bournemouth get early promotion without any playoff games and he is eligible for the Saint's last three games. I'm sure if K. Davis is doing fine they won't change anything.
So essentially K. Davis isn't 100% safe but overall is a safe pick.All this uncertainty about Davis is making me want to choose Myhill...
Boring question: who is the one player you're afraid about not owning for the next GW?
giroud and tekkers
So close...
Aguero. If I go ahead and sell him.
Wolscheid
Giroud because he's playing Liverpool.
Interesting that no-one is saying Austin. So either you all have him or everyone is writing him off?
Well I have him. I was considering captaining him. QPR so need the wins they have to be going for it.
Austin (C) 🙂
Austin
A) Courtois and Aldeweireld
B) Davis and Cahill (or Azpilicueta)If Chelsea win the league early Courtois might get benched and rested so B maybe
Have you considered doubling up with Davis and Alderweird? It would allow you more Chelsea attacking players. In the Chelsea defence it is either Ivan or Terry imo as the others are more open to rotation.
That'd mean me tripling up on Southampton… risky!
Probably a bit much I agree
Forster, Aguero & Naismith > Guzan, Costa & Benteke
-8 but worth it next gw? Works out bang on the money
I had planned to ship Austin out for Costa after the DGW, but now hes injured.
I dont have Giroud but it seems pointless to bring him in before the blank.
Considering:
A) Remy
B) Gomis
C) OtherCosta will probably be fit by the time the GW rolls around.
Is the injury looking minor?
Better option for a 4th midfielder till gw35 (Wildcard)
Mane or sigg
Think Sigg better fixures but Mane seems more involved at the moment
Hi Diego Costa Coffee we are really interested in you for the fantasy football cricket tournament. Being current world champions from the previous game we would love it if you would consider joining England
Please can you email your username and fpl ID to

Yep. I'm not Bangladeshi but will be for a few weeks.
Jeesh, no wonder.
And in reply to your question I would go Mane
Yeah think edging Mane
Can bench this week away everton as half thinking about Boyd to Philips for his doubleI have been looking for you turning up on the boards for days pal we identified you before the tournament as one we want we also have Irish contingent so you would complete our UK contingent
How Exactly does it work?

Il note your email down and email next time on computer be sometime 2night thanks MarkNo problem mate thanks for your interest, look forward to your email
I have both. Think its 50/50. Maybe siggy because of set pieces
I've got Mane so a bit biased. Siggy needs to show form.
Are you involved in the Fantasy CWC? Team England are still looking and you'd be a valuable team member. Send lymski@yahoo.co.uk an e-mail if you are interested.Anyone notice the crossed wires? Good 🙂
Why can i not read these articles when i have been utilising this website for about 4 years. I have been a member for a long time but dont seem to get the same overview as the new paying members. Is that right or am i missing something?
You are not a paying member.
So even when i sign in as a member im not a member?
No. Members are those who pay to support the site. Non members get a great deal. Members see more
Since when did we have to pay for websites? They must rake in a fortune from sponsers and i was a member before charges where implemented.
Are you complaining about the value for money?
Sponsors? There are barely any adds as Mark clamps down on any annoying sound adverts as it wrecks the atmosphere of the site.
You got lucky. Be thankful it didn't always cost you!
Full Metal Jacket/ South Park fan?
If so, the answer is "Suckie, suckie, $10"
If not, the answer is "you are right"If you were a paying member you would have a little grey scout symbol next to your name. If you have paid I would contact someone in admin and get them to sort it out because the site thinks you are not.
you have to pay for a membership to be able to read these articles
You got to sell yourself on the street corner.
No takers, eh? 😉
I'm cheap
You need to pay. No Pay no Lay!
This has probably been asked a million times and ive been a member/reader of this website for a long time. How do you add your user name and change your profile pic????? SHAMEFUL!!!!
User name is in your profile at the top right of this screen. Profile pic you need to sign in at Gravatar.com with the email address you use for this site and add a pic. It is really easy and quick.
You used to have a profile pic, did you not? 😉
... and you asked this question about membership last year and not very polite with some of the replies that you received, correct?Sorry dude had a bad game of fives, my baresi esq moaning didnt go down well. I appreciate the responses.
Now that Forster is injured for the rest if the season, worth transfering Lloris to Davis to free up funds?
Losing Lloris and gaining Davis....everyone wins here
I wouldn't bother. I think the transfer is more valuable myself
I really considering doing it to get Costa for Austin for the DGW. Maybe getting Myhill for Foster as well. Having two cheapies at the back? Not for a hit though...
It is perfectly decent option. They are 2 of the best defences after all.
seen a lot of people talking about getting siggy and swansea defenders. what's with all the swansea love?
Fixtures for me.
5 games on the spin vs mid table and lower. Not crazy on them myself (prefer WBA for next 2 anyway)
Swansealona
Swansea are a decent side defensively. Not sure about the Sigurdsson love.
Not confident about him with Bony gone.It is the fixtures. Particularly in GW 33 when a lot of cheaper players have tough fixtures
didn't realize that. cheers mate!
Since it's so quiet I'm going to go ahead and ask for a RMT:
Myhill
Terry, Bertrand, Schlupp
Phillips, Eriksen, Hazard, Cazorla
Kane, Aguero, Giroud
(Lloris, Mane, PVA, Bellerin)
Considering selling either PVA or Bellerin and benching Bertrand, but not sure yet.
Aye she's a looker so she is.
All set.Och, thenk ye!
why would you bench bertrand?
selling pva or bellerin could be good though
and tough decision on which gk to startPretty set on Myhill in goal.
If I replace PVA or Bellerin then their replacement has to play and I can't see myself benching Terry. You think Bertrand away at Everton is better than Schlupp home to West Ham?surely. I think Chelsea and Soton defenders should be played just about every week. especially bertrand and clyne who have attacking threat
Adrian is a decent punt at keeper too. Only City (A) is his hard fixture for the rest of the year.
panti foster
terry clyne alderweireld pva dawson
hazard silva eriksen downing boyd
aguero kane austin
1FT, 1m in the bank and a WC to spare
anything worth a FT this week or should I save so I have two next week?
will wait in case of potential injuries over the break but just trying to plan ahead assuming all goes wellNothing obviously worth doing, unless you want to punt on Downing or Boyd to a DGWer.
Panti to Davies (FT)?
Have PVA and means that I have a playing GK in gw33sounds good
or you could wait a week to make the transfer
who's your other gk?Hamer
Seems logical.
Yes. I am getting Davies, although it takes up my third Southampton spot so I cannot get Mane. Still, Saints are a free-scoring side so I'm not too concerned. Their goals have dried up.
Pros:
-4.4M
-Good fixtures
-No blanks
-Southampton don't let many shots on target
Cons:
-Rusty. At 38 years old he doesn't look as agile (IMO)
-We don't know if he'll have a positive or negative affect on the defence
-Very low chance Boruc could come back for the last three games
Considering getting rid of aguero for Austin or benteke cus it seems the only way I can get a dgw player. Feels more then a bit dodgy though. Anyone else have a similar decision?
Tough one:
a) Benteke (C)
b) Aguero (C)
c) Kane (C)Benteke if uve got him. Got too with dgw imo
not sure I agree. a player with a single gw could outscore a dgwer, especially considering this dgw
Worth the excitement though. I expect him to score well against qpr at home anyway.
yeahh ive got him and i think i will take this risk.....really fancy kun though
kane
I think he will have a hat-trick and England hang over
I was thinking Austin captain myself. You should get him ahead of Benteke imo
Much prefer Benteke......QPR shockingly average
I agree QPR are terrible. But Austin scores goals and has 2 decent fixtures compared to Villas 1. I may yet have both of them.
Hard to believe people are still thinking of (c)ing Aguero.
Why ?...Plenty of players go through a few games without notching, including some of the best ever to play in the prem, it just happens.
He's playing well atm. He has just got unlucky recently and Man City haven't been playing great.
9 years, 1 month agoIs it too late for 12th choice left back Bertrand to get in the squad?
