We roll out the first in a series of three members articles this week, analysing the player data by position over the previous four rounds of fixtures. Everton and West Brom’s right-backs arrive on our radar along with Swansea’s skipper, whilst we also cast an eye over the recent defensive displays from Liverpool, Chelsea and the Baggies.
Butland
Ivan Tony Monreal Fuchs
Mahrez Payet Ozil Alli
Kane Vardy (C)
Fabianski Dawson Aguero Wanyama
FT 0, ITB 1.8m (used my transfer ward out for fuchs)
Any advice please?? Is transferring out Aguero temporarily for -4 wise)
Thoughts ??
Thx
G2G. Interesting name.. is that allowed? lol
thanks mate, targeting towards GW30 now - keen to know the blanks after this weekends games!! how is your team looking?
haha, it seems to have escaped the FPL fun police (touch wood)!!
You'll get more replies if you change it.
If he got a grav to match his name I'm sure he'd get loads of replies
Forster (Butland)
Ward/Dawson - Toby - Daniels
Mahrez - Payet - Arnie - Sanchez - Alli
Kane - Ighalo
Bench: Dawson/Ward - Kun - Simpson 🙁
0 FT 5.3 ITB
Might take a hit to bring in Vardy for Ighalo.. but seems unsensible due to Ighalo's fixture
Thoughts?Butland starting instead of Forster actually.
Fancy Chelsea to win...bias blues fan here 😉looks good, i mean you need vardy to score and ighalo not to score for it to be worth the punt, i'd say don't take the hit, leicester have a good run even after the norwich game so you can always bring him in in the next gameweek... its a solid team!!
not fancy a clean sheet from butland against villa though?!read above ^^ aha
haha, i fancy chelsea too!!
now only 10 days to wait until the games ffs
As long as you a starting eleven no point in taking a hit
*have
What to do here?
Butland
Wolly Bellerin Fuchs
Siggy Willian Ozil Ramsey Kouyate
Adebayor Okazaki
Aguero Baines morenoSorry should have said 1FT 4.4 ITB (draft league)
Baines or Adebayor out for VVD/Fonte and Costa
Don't wanna ditch Ade just yet. vvd and fonte are taken, is Bertrand nailed?
I think he is nailed. and nothing against the punty pick with Ade, i just think others will score higher.
Okazaki could be switched with Vardy or Costa instead.They are both taken as well sadly. I'm fairly happy with my strikers given who is available to me. Wondering about Mane or Walters for Kouyate
What about Khazri from SUN or Imbula/Arnie from Stoke? Maybe even punt on Diouf. great few fixtures coming up for Stoke
You can rule our Imbula, he's a Defensive Midfielder
true, his goal threw me off.
Hmmm....it's different
Draft league mate so I can't have anyone I want sadly
That explains it. Need to what options you have so
adebayor for vardy??
Need to tell us who is available to buy.
Would it help if I said it's a league of 8 of us? Would take far too long to list everyone that's available unfortunately. Best to work on the principle I need huge differentials
Not really. Can't change players who are taken.
Your team looks decent but perhaps look at the 3 best free agents in each position.Is Mane worth a shout or that a no go?
He might work his way back into the side but he's not in their first XI at the moment. It's a mighty punt based on his form in any case. Willian, Eriksen and Sigurdsson look like the best bets in that sort of price range.
I'd stay away. Need starters in a draft league.
Yeah you're probably right. Who would be a good Kouyate replacement?
Ali, Payet, Antonio, Mahrez, Wijnaldum, Arnie, firmino, coutinho, mata, lingard, eriksen, barkley all not availableObviously more unavailable too, those were just off the top of my head
Who's available?
Dembele, Kante, Drinkwater, mane, noble, Can, any Watford mid, Walters, affellay, any palace mid apart from Zaha, any Bournemouth mid, any West Brom mid, any Norwich mid, any Sunderland mid apart from Kazri, any Newcastle apart from Wijnaldum, any Everton not Barkley or Cleverly
In that case... Affellay or Walters looks a good shout.
Is diouf taken?Diouf not taken but I'm quite happy with my strikers. Think a Stoke mid is the best option, thanks!
One of the Stoke mids for me.
Looking that way isn't it, thanks for your responses
What about Khazri from SUN or Imbula/Arnie from Stoke? Maybe even punt on Diouf. great few fixtures coming up for Stoke
Cameron to ??????? (FT and would mean getting 11 out this week, 6.5 ITB)
Rest of defence is: Dawson Bellerín Ward FuchsOh and Forster and Boruc are my keepers... if that influences anyone's decision.
bring is a soton def, they have a tough game next but good for the long term as they have no black GW30
Vvd
Front 8 ?
Toby
VVD or Fonte or Toby
I missed the game how did Chelsea play ? .
played pretty well but just up against a better side..
Thanks Nidge
They played well. Unlucky with free kick and a lapse with 2nd goal.
Cheers I was on earlier but Daniel kept going on so I logged off .
Manfully. They were excellent for the last 20 minutes of the first half and were the better team when they went behind.
In the second half they were under the cosh but coped pretty well. PSG deserved to win the game but Chelsea can take loads of positives from it. Willian was outstanding, as were Ivan and Cahill. Courtois made some good saves but let himself down a bit for the winner.
All in all though, Chelsea looked like a proper team.That sounds very encouraging . I will have to try and watch the highlights . Thank you
No worries. I'll definitely be investing in some of their assets.
Id say chelsea had great opportunities with their 2 breaks (Costa and Oscar)
Could well have been 3-1 Chelsea had it not been for that mistake by Mikel in the first half.
Chelsea move through if they play like they did today in the next fixture.
Really hope United get knocked out of the cup, Watford West Brom and Palace in a row is crying out for Borthwick Jackson
Would help me with DDG but helps the casuals more.
RMT please
Butland, McCarthy
Alderweireld, van Dijk, Bellerin, Francis, Simpson
Mahrez, Alli, Ozil, Payet, Firmino
Aguero, Vardy, Kane
2 FT, 3.4 ITB
I'm considering transferring out Firmino. He has a BGW/no longer a false-9/tough fixtures ahead. I will have 11 players available for the next GW if I exclude Simpson, Aguero, and Firmino.
I'm considering maybe Arnautovic? Will he be fit to play? Thank you!You need to burn a FT. Arnie is good for blanks and if you don't trust Firmino then it's decent. Best to see if Pool get a GW30 anyway and other injuries.
Arnie is a risk but a viable one - he could score huge against Villa. However, I'm hoping that once we know who is playing in 30 I can pick someone with some form.
Punt on Afellay
Does anyone happen to know when the TV schedule for April and May comes out?
Trying to plan captaincy swaps for other games.
I think they like to give six weeks notice so it should be soon for April.
6 weeks in advance normally so soon.
Thanks guys, sorry dragged off to make tea.
Carrick to Arsenal
Whoever spread this rumor should send me the number of his drug dealer.Wenger a huge fan and contract up at end of the season
- Balders' GWK 30 Blanks Gadget
In case anyone missed it, Balders has created a fantastic Team Diagnostic Tool to help FPL managers try to work out how many players they may have in Gameweek 30. The tool and his explanation can be found here:
https://fpldiva.wordpress.com/2016/02/16/guest-post-gameweek-30-blanks-estimator/This confuses me on the phone so gonna throw the laptop at it tomorrow
Cheers
Never heard of it.
So helpful, most likely to have 8 players available ATM.
bookmarked to try at a later time
That is excellent.
ouch 5 definately playing so far
I thought I had good control until I checked that.
gw27: 11 players in 3-5-2, w/Bellerin mun, Azpi sot, VVD CHE
gw30: Like 5 nailed from Lei, Stk, Sot. Looking at maybe 7 guys before the 5th round is played
Thanks for re-linkign I did miss it.
I've got >50% probability of having enough GK, Def's & Strikers, but woeful % chance of >2 Mids.
So according to probablility's Payet is first on the radar to go.....
This = very helpful!
Thanks Balders!
Although quite shocking how many players I'm missing to get an 11 out...
Great effort guys! Very useful to ease confusion
Eamonn Dunphy doesn't seem to think that Thierry Henry was a great player
Eamon Dunphy needs to sober up
I'm sure he's just doing it for the cameras and the money
Well I hope so anywayHe's a rambling alco not sure why he's given the air time tbh
Cruyff either
I am sick. Spent most of the evening vomiting and the other end isn't pretty either.
Couldn't quite bring myself to do the FIFFSA article.
SorryWho actually cares about that silly tournament any more 😛
Wimbledon and FP cup ftwAnd sorry, hope you're feeling better soon mate
Chortle. I do feel a little better just now. That is why I put the laptop on
Good to hear 🙂
Get well soon Cheese! I'm busy tonight but I may have more time later in the week if you need help.
This is the time I usually do it. It becomes harder at work.
Well they say write about what you know so well done on this post
The fourth big number is bad, very bad, but the table of defensive data looks a little different if organized by Goal Attempts in Box Conceded. In such a table, with the parameters of this article, not just 1 (mentioned in the article) but 2, 4 and particularly 6 stand out as interesting if you read across to goals conceded. Then, of course, there is the enigma that is number 20.
I hope this is a reply fail
Nope. 😕
It's a reply to the article I guess.
Maybe it relates the article I guess. I have woken from a nap so excuse me
I know we need to protect members stats but I'm a member and have no idea what you are talking about 🙂
Have to be protected from the members too you know Zan. 😉
Sorry, but Diva and Balders would have been expecting it done
😆
Maybe Mahrez is a better pick for captaincy than Vardy this week
What brings you to that conclusion?
No conclusion in this post, just something to think about
He's a decent shout and I'm surprised he's not higher in the captaincy poll, but I feel as though Vardy is the better option as he's on pens, and Ranieri has said that Mahrez could be taken off early in games
He's not
Anyone got any A,B,C questions? I need to boost my posting history to 15 pages
B
Just practicing
Is the frequent poster cup on then?
Thanks!
Yes
You could do some Marvin quotes.
Good idea
Price Changes
Riser : Willian
Fallers : NoneKnew I should have checked. 😳
Thanks TM.
I feel duped
Had to be bloody Willian didn't it?
Siggy rise too
Not since Valentines Day.
On Sunday
TM is the new cute puppy 😆
What does that make you?
GW27 1 FT 0.2 ITB
De Gea
Bellerin Dann VVD Huth Nyom
Ozil Payet Mahrez Watson
Kane
Bench: Henn Aguero Lukaku Barkley
I will do Lukaku -> Vardy unless on the off chance Lukaku plays gw30 and Aguero doesn't in which case I'd do Aguero -> Vardy.
I will likely bench Watson and play 5-3-2 in gw27, should I be concerned lining up like this or should I consider another move for a hit?
A) Get in Vardy, don't take a hit and play 5-3-2.
B) Something else?Seems ok
I think I might bench Nyom and play Watson, not much in it unless you think Watford are favourite for a CS.
Considered the same but I think Nyom is the smarter choice, more likely to keep a CS than Watson is to get an assist
A
Anyone watch Deutshland 83? I finished it last night and it was really good
Sorry Cheese, never heard of it. By the way, will you be in the spreadsheet one day later this week?
yes. I am in it now though?
OK, if I get a chance I'll stop by briefly (on phone at the mo).
Gay chat? I will be in the spreadsheet all night tomorrow I should think
I try to stay happy and postive, if that's what you mean.
You can look forward to the 86 and 89 series that will be made now.
I heard an interview with the makers of it state that.Brilliant!
Not that I want to spoil anything but they revealed that in the 89 series something called the wall would fall 😉
Apparently stasi had aroud 2000 agents infiltrated west germany at the time the wall fell. Suddenly those agents had nowhere to report to and no country to go back to, trapped.
The arcives of stasi naming and revealing these ppl to the public were not open for all to seebut west german/german government until 2013.Dammit. Might not watch it now
Looks excellent. Just queued it up on the local streaming service. Cheers for the reco
You need to be able t cope with subtitles though
Ah, don't mind those. Have enough German to catch every 10th word at least 😉
I could calculate your chance of winning FPL but you won't like it.
Better than the lottery?
At least four times better than winning the UK lottery.
Funny how just when you think your FPL season can’t possibly get any worse it suddenly does.
Have you been Balderized?
Just doing some Marvin quotes as ILF suggested, tweaked for FPL
Ah, got it. I have a million ideas. They all point to Sergio Agüero.
Here I am brain the size of a planet and still can't get in the top 100,000 of FPL.
The first 10 game weeks were the worst. And the next 10: they were the worst, too. The third 10 game weeks I didn’t enjoy at all. After that, I went into a bit of a decline.
It’s the people you meet on this site that really get you down
Selling my firsts of Hitchikers soon 🙁 Needs must I guess.
Whats the going rate if you don't mind me asking? (just interested not a buyer, my kids destroy anything of value)
Well the true firsts of the first two were actually paperbacks.
1st is about £100-£150 and Restaurant around £50-£60 If unsigned.That's selling within the trade.
Holla ,, when are the cup games ?
and also G2G?
Forster
Wolly-Huth-Cresswell
Mahrez-Alli-Arny-Payet-Sanchez
Vardy-Costa
subs:Jackson-Daniels-Kun
anythoughts appreciated
thxThis weekend.
This weekend. Team looks OK.
thx 🙂
Who do you think is the best defender to have for attacking points (ignoring CS potential)?
Why would you want to do that?
Will time it with fixtures. PvA, for example, did well for me in the past.
PVA
Yup, like him a lot
PVA?
Intrigued by Seamus Coleman as an option after the blank
Toby
Targett and Fuchs are good options I think
Thanks
I have my team almost complete, please decide: Nyom vs Bourthmouth or Cedric vs Chelsea??
Cech
Dier | Huth | Cresswell | ??
Mahrez | Payet | Ozil | Alli
Vardy (C) | Kane
Nyom
Night all,
Off to find my mattress that goes Fflump.
Have you people seen this freekick?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIDAXrjjXe8He misshit that 😉
Just saw it on Facebook. Pahang lost 🙁
Takes a bit of skill to bend it the opposite way. A proper slice.
Proper break this init. Apparently init is a word, I just thought it was British slang
We contribute so much to the world
Indeed. Got to make sense of this crazy place somehow. Hows life in your neck of the woods, FPL team on the improve?
Seychellian glory i helping. No idea regarding these blanks though.
Personally I am trying to recover from a bug in order to go to work tomorrow night.Sorry to hear you're ill, I hope you get better soon.
Your team is on the improve, I'm sure you'll be right on top of the blanks as the regulars on here seem to know whats what. This is the chance to finally make up significant ground on the numerous casual teams still going strong.think it will certainly win me a few h2h's
Not British but it might be innit.
Is 1 n American spelling? Do they say it too?
I see, completely different word that I never knew existed. Innit is still officially slang, thank goodness for that.
Need to burn a FT, 0.5 ITB.
Forster - Hennessey
Bellerin - Daniels - Simpson - Dawson - Ward
I'm not even listing the others, there has to be a defence upgrade. Dawson or Ward out? And who comes in? Stumped here, would appreciate some help.Stoke or S'ton defender. Best to see what happened in FA Cup as that can open up other options.
Cheers, I'm waiting til after the FA Cup, just weighing up options. I've been thinking of Wollscheid over any Southampton defenders as he's cheap and I've already got Forster in goal. Or should I go for Southampton double-up?
Rather Stoke this GW especially if Shawcross is back.
Key here is to know whether Dawson or Ward has a game in GW30. It seems likely Dawson won't but his attacking stats are still pretty good. Maybe sit tight till after the FA cup games then sell they guy who has a blank
Thanks, I'm really frustrated by both - have had them almost since the beginning of the season but they've done very little for me. I've wanted to transfer Ward out for ages but there were always more pressing transfers to be made.
Yeah I'd drop award of the two but GW30 blanks might make you keep him if he has a game
Hi all, Current team-
Butland
Toby, Bellerin, Collins, Fonte
Sanchez, Firmino*, Mahrez, Payet,
Kane, Vardy
Schmeichel, Stanislas, Francis, Aguero,
1ft, 1.8m
What would u do here?
Firmino- Arnie/Alli/Eriksen/
Other?
The only thing about Spurs is that they have A LOT of fixtures. Europa/Domestic Cups etc
I am thinking about Arnie for a punt (he failed before tho for me)
Playing catch up and most of my rivals have Alli.
I'd wait until we have news about the GW30 blanks to make a decision
