I got the guzan / myhill thing. Well flukey
DZer's lend me your ears. Does thou knowest of any changes in price this fair eve?
90 minutes to find out.
Murray apparently...again. Can't believe I've got saddled with another money sink striker after finally getting rid of Defoe
Benteke should rise, Morgan too.
Austin and Murray will fall.
Last Man Standing safety score currently 18.
Well done to those above the line.
What was it last week when I got knocked out? My internet screwed up and I wasn't online for a few days?
66 last week needed.
I knew I was going to be out a long time before. It was a tough week without a wildcard.
66 without a WC wasn't that tough imo. Just needed balls to take a few hits.
Demi took a -16 and made it easy.Yeah. Balls and to make the right transfers!
2FTs
Which one?
A. Fabregas, Sterling > Silva, Ramsey +1.2ITB
B. Fabregas, Sterling > Sanchez, Mata
C. Sterling, Vardy > Ramsey, Austin
Thanks all
UFPL has been nothing short of a flop since it's introduction. Does anybody think they will have a revamp of it ?
I hate the loan system...I just can't be bothered with it. I'd like them to do something with it because it has potential, don't know whether they will.
What do you want to happen if you get injuries?
I agree with o'reedy...It just needs the same transfer system as in the regular game.
So pick 25 then have transfers weekly?
You get free transfers in the 1st few weeks as it is right?It doesn't need a 25 man squad...A 25 man squad with a loan system is putting people off the game...It just needs to be an enhanced version of the free game.
Yeah, this basically. I think they introduced too many changes too soon, they should've started with an FPL clone and grown the game if they wanted to.
That was what I expected. In fact I think most people expected that. UFPL needs to be a game for FPL crackpots who just want a little more....not an over complicated new beast....Would you agree?
I would. Over 3 million of us play FPL - it's us they need to appeal to. They'll soon start making money if they cater to their target market.
15 a side like FPL with daily subs & a weekly FT would probably work better.
I don't see why we can't just have transfers like in FPL. I just don't like spending points on stop-gap measures.
What's the point of having a 25 man squad?
It doesn't need a 25 man squad...
Well if it was 18 so you could play 11 on Day 1 & 7 on Day 2 if organised well then a free transfer a week could work with penalties for further transfers. Seeing it's 25 now, you should always have at least 18 available.
Maybe so...but as it stands people don't like it...so what needs to change ?
I'm sure the people in the top 50 love it.
Yeah but FPL have 3.5 million customers on GW1...The game developers should be looking to engage a much higher number for the season than simply the top fifty.
How many of those teams are duplicate teams or teams from countries that are eligible for prizes? 50% are already dead teams. In UFPL, dead teams have no place. As long as they get 10K or whatever x a fiver to cover all the prizes then they have made a profit. If FPL next season was a game costing a fiver to play, 3.5M would decrease very quickly.
I suppose that's the problem they face...trying to work out how analogous the two situations are. You're right, there wouldn't be the same demand...but I think they've put as many people off with their clumsy new approach as they have with the admittance fee.
I'm sure they will tweak it a bit. Perhaps they should get the players to email improvements with a survey or something.
Yeah they should do that. As I say it has potential...I'll no doubt sign up again next year in the hope if improvements.
I quite like the bigger squad in MLS, think they have it right with 18. 25 is perhaps a bit much.
Yep..17 or 18 players would be about right...one FT and a hit for any others.
Would love that.
It's too complicated, I can't get into it. Would like to see a money version of FPL though.
Just play in a league.
I thought they would have just made it a bigger version of the free game, perhaps with an enhanced scoring system and a stick or twist captain.
They'd have to change the name then as that's not very Ultimate 😉
Maybe they could just introduce the option where people can pay or not pay. Everyone will still compete in the main overall league but they could be a separate money league, manager of the month etc which get paid. £10 a season or something. It's definitely pay it and even if they got 10% of the usual players to join it would still provide a decent prize pot for a variety of competitionsI'd* definitely pay it
Yeah, maybe....anything really because it's dying a painful death right now. What do you think is the thing that is putting people off as it stands ?
There is tons they could do in this area and i wouldn't be surprised to see it really take off over the next few years. Companies like DraftKings and others are doing well. But all that is based on daily fantasy competitions i think rather than the long haul we like to suffer through 🙂
The daily/weekly stuff is PlayOn & MondoGoal for those involved.
Yeah no doubt. Just think someone will take it to another level shortly. So much money to be made in fantasy sports
Oh yes...loads of money. Once they get it right it will be gold.
The gambling part is an issue with many countries.
So basically, even with a GW rank of over a million, how am I looking with just 18 with 7 to play including Haz captain? I went Giroud over Benteke.
Above average.
Very good. Giroud may get a good amount of your Benteke pts back and Silva has been sold to early by a lot in the game IMO...
Could still be on course for a big score...will depend a lot on the captain call. I think you went for the right striker for the run in, BTW...even though today belonged to Benteke
I hope so
All about Sergio captain 😉
I know his history with Spurs, but just one goal from Hazard will suit me fine
Gary linear on motd after Sunderlands home victory:
" you think you will stay up Dick? "
Current Squad.
Been absolutely burned by Sterling/ Hendo..
Schmeichel, Pantil
Terry, Schlupp, Skrtel, PVA, Duff
Fabregas, Sterling, Hendo, Hazard, Cambiasso
Kane, Aguero, Giroud
3.5m, 2ft's
What needs to be done here?
Wait for the Arsenal to play or act now..
Always wait, for all you know Sanchez could break his leg
After GW31 I was ranked in the 42,000s and was at the end of a run of 5 red arrows in a row, cut forward to present day and I'm ranked in the 17,000s (although this GW is far from over) and it actually looks like I could possibly break the top 10k for the first season ever.
Just gotta hope hazard doesn't let me down like last week...
Any news on Sadio Mane's injury ?
until rest of season
A. Sanchez + Kane
B. Ozil + Benteke
B
A for me
Have exact funds to do Skrtel Sterling + Kane > Wasilewski Ramsey + Benteke for -4.
worth it? 🙂Anyone? would need to do these transfers tonight thats all 🙂
Is Wasi guaranteed 90 mins? Don't know that he isn't, it's just he hasn't been quite recently. He played a lot of half games for some reason. I also think Kane could do more damage just against Hull than Benteke likely will with his tougher fixtures.
I like Ramsey in for Sterling though!yeah i agree with you're points here, i have Alderweireld and Rose so they could always step in for Wasi i guess. It's all just to accommodate Benteke but like you say Kane could score just as well if not better. think i'll hold then 🙂
to do Sterling > Ramsey i need to downgrade one of Rose, Skrtel, Terry, Ivan or Skrtel by 0,1.sorry, by 0.2
Cool. I'd still drop Skrtel I think...not sure who to suggest as replacement. I like West Ham for cleansheets still, but others have pointed to them having nothing to play for. Not sure I can see another cleanie for Pool to be honest.
Yeah out of that lot i'd say drop Skrtel as well. Just concerned as to whether Terry or Ivan will play out till the end for Chelsea if they win tomorrow.
Good point - I honestly don't know.
Well personally i reckon they'll want to finish the season together, so they should still play. I'll just get rid of Skrtel for now anyway.
I am not sure. I would still rather see tomorrows matches.
me too but if i leave it tonight it just means i wouldn't be able to transfer in Benteke, worth it to just keep Kane?
If you want to do it just do it. You will probably regret if you don't. These darned price rises!
haha! i know 🙂
Not looking forward to having to dodge Kane, SIlva & Sanchez this GW.
Do you need a big couch to hide behind?
Nah, think I'll stay asleep.
That's a better plan. 🙂
That could be bad. Why don't you at least have Kane?
had foster/myhill before last dgw, went foster > schmeichel -4 thinking theres no way my hill will keep cs's vs pool/utd. boy was i wrong...
Schmeichel hasn't exactly been a bad purchase.
yes..but
myhill: 9 + 17 = 26 pts
schmeic: 11 + 7 -4 = 14 pts
12 pt loss!
For GW36 and GW37, would you rather have:
A) Kane + Ivanovic + Larsson
or
B) Benteke + Stones + Henderson - 4A) but with a different mid, for me. Maybe a SGWer like Boyd in the same price range. I'd sooner have Gomez than Larsson I think, if I had to pick from Sunderland (just for the pens).
Thanks. I almost wrote Sunderland mid as I figured they're all pretty much of a muchness, but thought it simpler to give a specific example. Basically, I have two FTs between now and GW37. One has Giroud's name on and the other was earmarked to give me a third Sunderland player for the double, but now I'm wondering whether use that second FT plus a hit to free up funds for Benteke and overlook having a sixth double Gameweek player.
I'm thinking we've missed the boat on benteke, given his remaining fixtures.
But it depends how we look at it I suppose. Form over fixtures they say, for strikers; but he plays West Ham next and Allardyce is now committed to grinding out cleansheets for the rest of the season...then they play Saints away (their form is poor but we know how solid defensively they can be on their day), and finally Burnley who don't give away many goals these days either.
I also think Kane might be worth keeping for Hull alone.See how many Arsenal manage to put past them on monday. It may indicate much.
It might indeed! Won't be making any early changes myself...will wait for the dust to settle from this GW first.
That's the sensible plan for now. I should have the funds to hold until Arsenal has played.
Yeah. The best advice is to consider things for now but ultimately the latest form will tell you the most.
Indeed. And, of course, injury or suspension for a key Arsenal asset could be a game changer too.
Yup. How much easier it would be to navigate that midfield if there were a few less to choose from.
I know what you're saying, but when I looked at the possibility of bringing him in GW31, a run of tot, blank, mci, EVE hardly looked appealing too and look what he's done!
Yes, true as well. And that's the form argument - it's hard to argue with. I just wish Kane would recapture some of his earlier form...has he forgotten he's got a golden boot to win?
The problem with Kane is he can be explosive. He's one player who would really hurt your ranking now if he explodes when you don't own him. Benteke is more explosive than Giroud, whose more of a goal-a-game man - but of course in GW37 that would be equal to a SGW striker brace...
I see now why people have been bemoaning the lack of a fourth striker spot...no easy decisions, really.
Yeah, we can dream!
Tough one. I like Benteke but Kane's fixtures are good as well. I think I would see how Kane does tomorrow before making a decision.
I think Ivan and Stones have similar potential over those weeks.
The Sunderland double gameweek is an interesting one. They could easily do nothing in the DGW but lets face it Henderson isn't really lighting it up so I would probably prefer Larsson over him. I would not let it cloud my decision to much.
Is that the only way you can do Kane to Benteke?Thanks. I would need to take a hit, unless I ignore Giroud. I could do Vardy -> Benteke, then Skrtel to Koscielny. That would leave Henderson squatting in my team unless I took a hit to remove him.
By the way. My recent advice should come with a health warning. Vardy to Benteke would be a definite improvement imo an Squitel to Kosc would get you a DGW player so that seems sensible.(unless you want more Arsenal mids/forwards) Personally I like arsenals back line they seem a little more predictable for when they will keep clean sheets than some.
Yeah, I've seen what your advice has done to our UAE teammates! 😉
I already have Sanchez and Ramsey so no Giroud wouldn't be the end of the world I suppose.I am just not sure. Wait and see the rest of the weeks fixtures. A couple of goals from Giroud and he has gone from desirable to a must have.
How did West Brom concede 4 to QPR!?!? Still so bloody bitter about that DGW.
Ha, I have no idea. It does seem to be the relegation scrappers they struggle with though. Pulis seems to have an answer for everything else.
2 ft s..
1. Sterling/ Fabs - Sanchez/ Ramsey
2. Skrtel/ Sterling - Sanchez/ Koscielny
3. Fabs/ Skrtel- Sanchez/ Kosc
4. Other
Schmeichel, Pantil
Terry, Schlupp, Skrtel, PVA, Duff
Fabregas, Sterling, Hendo, Hazard, Cambiasso
Kane, Aguero, Giroud
3.5m, 2ft's
Ranking just outside Top 1kI like A.
I've just seen that Myhill got 12 points on my bench. I bet if I start him next week they'll concede!!!
Sorry to break it to you, but he actually got 17.
I only looked at the article above 😆
Just off to smash a few things!
Definitely. Remy will score too just to troll
Obviously!
what are the chances of Monreal playing both in the dgw
What say you DZ
Gomez or Larson for a cheeky Sunderland punt as 4th midfielder.
Thinking of doing Sterling Remy Clyne/K Davies --> Sund Mid Giroud Kos/Ospina
For free over the next two weeks. Any help appreciated.Remy to Giroud and a Southampton player to an Arsenal player look good moves. For free, a Sunderland mid would be a reasonable punt because they will at least have an extra shot at scoring more points and have, maybe, begun to find some fight.
Yea would be for free Remy and Stirling ---> Gomez and Giroud this week
Defensive move next week.
Can't decide between Larson or Gomez. Is Gomez even nailed and number 1 pen taker ?
Thanks
Gomez takes a nice penalty. That's about all he does though so a bit of a hit and hope
You could also look at Remy -> cheap striker (one of Sunderland's if you like) and doubling up on Arsenal mids. I'm considering both approaches myself, but probably with a SGW option over any of the black cats offerings. Sanchez, Ozil and Ramsey all look as enticing as Giroud to me...not sure which way I'll go.
Food for thought. My two ML rivals have Giroud so almost feel obligated to get him to cancel him out. But might be a good option with Wickham. Decisions decisions.
Yes...you could steal a march on them if he blanks, but it is risky. Some think Welbeck will take minutes off him in the double...I've no clue on that personally, but it's an interesting thought...
Of course I pick Giroud + Mata over Ramsey + Benteke 🙄
from now on I hope they put playercam on Mike Ashley
I feel as if more blame should be put squarely on the Newcastle players. Its their fault they are playing so miserably.
Yeah that's a good point. They looked like they were trying to lose yesterday
And get sent off. Surely the fans can't stand for such behaviour.
So team Ireland. What chance do you have of smashing Pakistan enough to bring their spot in the next round of the cricket into contention?
Ha, well that seems to rest squarely on the shoulders of one Sergio Aguero. Not merely because we've strategically mass-captained him, but also because we need your help to qualify and I see that you have three Agueros over India, too!
Interesting. We haven't given up hope ourselves yet! We need an average of around 6 points per remaining differential player minimum to stand a chance of qualifying by my calculations. But that depends on your team. If you were to win by over 10 points this goes up. It may seem like a lot but the players we have left have quite a lot of potential
And if you want Aguero to score a lot I guess we want him to fail too! So that complicates matters.
Or you need to smash Pakistan and bring their run rate down to a managable level
Haha, well we'll just see what comes out in the wash. Seems too complicated to appreciate fully in all it's mind-bending complexity.
I don't think I realised how tight, and complex, this all was. If it's any comfort, we're not likely to go tearing ahead however we do. We need a ~50pt lead just to give ourselves a chance, and I can't see us scoring much beyond that target even if we hit it.
Are you sure you need that much? If we manage to beat India (which I think we stand a chance of) but not catch their run rate we will be knocking down their run rate with every run we beat them by. Yours is a moving target you can do nothing about.
You're right...I was treating the target as static, which of course it is not. I'm definitely going to stop thinking about it now...my head hurts 🙂
Any other Europeans staying up to watch tbe most boring fight of the decade?
Why will it be boring?
Becauase Mayweather is probably going to attempt to win on points instead of trying to knock him out if past fights are a good indicator. Maybe I'll be proven wrong but I doubt it.
I'm not really a boxing fan but have been invited by a mate to go watch it with him and his family. I'm also expecting a fairly inconclusive result.
I'm not much of a fan either but I'm watching it with a group of friends so it still should be a decent watch.
It starts in just over an hour right? or is that just the undercards?
Yes. The undercards are on now. Expected to start in an hour but it rarely does. I expect it to start in around 2 hours.
So I probably should have sold Kane for Benteke after all 😕 Bottled it 🙁
I got in Giroud over Benteke. We're such pussies.
I convinced myself at the last minute that this wasn't the week as Everton are in good form. Should have trusted my analysis on their poor away defence this season.
Kane yet to play mate.
Its a bit different to having points in the bank though
I feel like a lot like a biotch right now. it was so obvious
yeah, you and me both. Giroud's 2nd game got me. Benteke has discovered his old form
I appreciate Scorecard article because when I'm having a bad GW like this one I get an idea about my points so I don't have to log in to my FPL account for a while & can save myself from further torture.
I have 4pts, yay me. However at least I know thats only from 2 players, 9 to go 🙂
I'm just watching MOTD.
Linekar says "do you think you'll stay up Dick?"
Accident?Probably an accident, unless Linekar is an 8 year old schoolboy?
He does have a rather playful attitude. I could see that being on purpose. I wouldn't wager on it, but doesn't seem completely impossible. It is pretty funny.
Am I seeing things, or have I woken up to my benched keeper Myhill on 17 points....?
3rd week in a row I've benched his points but this is ridiculous!
Time for me to distance myself from this game for a while. :-/
As Kenneth Williams said.... "What's the bloody point.."Pulis strikes again. fixtures don't seem to matter
Man U strike again. They can fail in any fixture it is not always the one you expect
Sorry to break it to you, but he actually got 27
I jest of course (but he probably should have)
Not 107?
He got 107 'moral points' for that display, I think.
Classic Pulis keeper exibition
They'll concede at least 2 to Newcastle next week 🙄
I have 28 points on the bench in Myhill and Albrighton...my current GW score is 23...
Praying Courtois and Silva/Hazard don't show up.
Anyone else with a ton of benched points?I've got 19pts on the bench from three (7,6,6)...just waiting for Murray to score now.
Just Albrighton here. And he doesn't look likely to be coming on 🙁
Into the top 20!
Dare to dream?Strewth! Congrats
You went ahead with Coutinho (c), nice 🙂
Wow mate, that's very impressive
Well done!
9 years, 7 days agoDon't you just hate GK rotation..just noticed 17 points from Myhill is massive points missed!!
Rival played Guzan(Rested/Dropped) Myhill waiting how lucky is that?!!
Played Pants as most would of right?
Moved Top of ML..it's been a long time coming, 8 points clear..still along way to go in this GW but it's nice viewing (Thank you Coutinho)
I Transfered out sterling to Ramsey which has worked out fine so far, almost very almost got Tekkers in for the hit but held back however I've made my transfer early.. No messing
Myhill(never going to drop you again)
Ivan Terry Bellerin
Sanchez Ramsey Hazard Bolasie
Kane Kun Tekkers (welcome to my team sorry I missed your points this GW)
Pants Coutinho Skrtel PVA
