We delve into the Gameweek data now in our first members article of the week. Amongst this evening’s topics for analysis are Liverpool, Stoke and Southampton’s midfielders, Swansea and West Brom’s frontmen, Man United’s full-backs and Palace’s summer signing with a penchant for a pot shot.
Depends who plays in front of them, if Britton plays it help.
Will be interesting to see if it was just the opening game or if they'll continue.
Certainly worth sticking with for now. Their manager is so underrated.
One thing that comes of it Amat best option at 4.
The stats in the members section are obviously a big secret. Are people careful with their posts?
Gardener Mussa interesting
The only info you need is on FPL scout tab.
Scout tab?
Yes try not to be too obvious when posting them. Maybe link a table and say "Cor blimey, look who's number 2 here". Or "Flipping heck, how good is that fella who's name rhymes with solero?" That sort of thing.
Act like ScoopWhoop people....10 points are great but number 6 will blow your mind away!
They're not a big secret and can be extracted from other sites. 😉
Keeping Mahrez for now. Thoughts about Fuchs ➡ Walker move or is it better to invest for Everton def?
I like that move. Seems very sound.
I prefer Walker because of attacking threat but no Lloris could affect their cs pchances
I want Coleman but if not fit Walker v tempting
Not intrested in Williams?
Yes but I just can resist a Koeman fullback
*csnt
I'd go Ev myself as there'll be rotation with Spurs full backs soon enough. Both have good fixtures and good defences.
Baines better option than Williams?
If you can spare the cash. Not a massive improvement though.
Thinking of doing Fuchs to Baines or Walker myself. But I will give him another chance against Arsenal.
Thinking of exactly same move
Do we think Chambers will keep his spot in the Arsenal backline and for how long?
One of him and holding will make way this week. Not sure who though.
Cheers Monkey
Not for long. Kosc back soon + looking to sign a CB + don't see them keeping a clean sheet either this week
Good luck to anyone else getting A-level results this morning!
Good luck Puntmaster.
cheers
Good heavens .... my A level results came in 48 years ago!
PS Fingers crossed for you!
Wow! You're 8 years younger than I am.
How do you write such great articles?
You're bound to do well. All the best!
Hope you get 5As
My Favorite Article!
Moin too!
😆
Did ayew drop in price last nite??
I did ayew--lamela last nite.Why don't you check?
Coz I'm a lazy sod
No he didn't. You literally had to click the mouse twice.
https://fantasy.premierleague.com/
No, he did not.
Redmond or Capoue to Start
Redmond no doubt.
Seriously
Redmond
I pity the fool
There are no fools only monkey's and decisions 😛
I'm starting Capoue with Redmond first sub.
Good to go? Not used a transfer but open to suggestions or sub order? Zip in the bank.
Heaton
Amat Stones Evans
Hazard (c) Sanchez Phillips Townsend
Aguero Long Zlatan
Jaku Friend Morgan Holberg
Thanks.Too bad you can't do Long>Defoe. Look fine to me otherwise.
yeah only real question is whether to play stones against Stoke at home over Morgan/friend
(Save transfer)
I think both arsenal and Sunderland are more likely to score. Arsenal usually do and have to come out and win, as do foxes really so expect that game to be quite open.
Sunderland at home with new manager, will want to impress. Derby match.
Stoke look a bit rusty, light up top. That said don't think city have sorted defence out yet so tricky. I wouldn't put money on any of them keeping clean sheet. But I think Stones has the best chance.
That said Morgan goal threat is tempting me...Yeah only reason I listed Morgan was goal threat, nearly a given they'll concede after seeing them without Kante against a broken Hull side, the question is how many.
I wouldn't rule Stoke out based off the game against Middlesbrough, especially at home.
With that said you have a convincing point about Sunderland. You've probably made the right call.
I'd play Jaku. Interesting cap choice. I'm on him too but only coz don't have Kun and Mane injured
Mane just a knock wasn't it? He drove away from hospital. Surely fine.
Captain tough this week. Lot of options with no clear stand out.
Read nothing into his driving away. You can drive an automatic with one arm.
Aguero on a hattrick seems pretty standout.
I heard mane unlikely to make BurnleyCool. Firmino in the hole and origi up top. Works for me.
Stones over Friend?
GW2 MUN-SOU: Shaw & Tadic. No worries, most seems to think that it's a no-brainer to field both.
GW4 MID-CRY: Ramirez & Souare. I think this could be a classic situation where many would start to hesitate fielding both just because they are facing each other. (BTW I have better options in that GW)
I see often a lot of comments worrying about playing defender against owned midfielder/forward. This is a worry that I rarely understand. I would personally worry about that only if I was chasing at the end of the season or if I tried to have a decent rank in some certain GW. But in Classic league, I don't usually get it.
Palace have only won 2 out of last 22 PL games in 2016.
😯Spanking with a Kane.
Kinky.They really need Tekkers to avoid relegation
0 0
Should i play jaku or Foster this GW?
Got that combination with the intention of starting Foster always, having doubts now.
Jaku has a higher chance of a clean sheet I feel although, if Foster gets one he probably gets bonuses too..
Is Ibra likely to jumping before Saturday (before Lei-Ars)?
WC impact calculated on fplsatistics?
Got Vardy and I'd like my options open. What do you guys think?
If he rises, it would have to be tonight as the game week begins tomorrow Friday.
I got the 1.5 ITB, I just wanna see both games before making a decision. There is chance Ibra explodes on Friday and jumps before the Vardys game the next day.
Will Bolasie walk straight into Everton starting 11?
I guess so else why pay 30m for him? He'll be his Mane at Everton.
30M 😯 mental
So the real Mane is 9M and the 2 fake Manes are both 6M....interesting
These days, 30M=10M.
Absolutely. Unlike Williams, he had a pre-season so is fully fit
could be far better long term cheap mid than Redmond
Maybe. Could start on the bench, who knows?
He'll start on the left for absolute certain. Nailed as a set of floor boards.
Anyone here can shed light on how Oscar looked for Chelsea?
Thinking of one of the 3 transfers
A. Oscar>Barkley
B. Vardy>Diego Costa
C. Gray>Negredo
Leaning towards A.I love that his name is Oscar and always deserves one after a game, very theatrical.
Was alright but hazard was definitely the most impressive
Unlucky about the penalty.He played well. Will start again. Why change? Everton away to Pulis. No. Just no.
Do B or C. Although I would save. Pool are a shambles at the back.Cheers
you considered Siggy at home to Hull?
Hi guys, i am new at this place...
Not sure going on a 442, stay in 343 or maybe benching two mf!
Foster
Terry, Stones, Kone, Amat
Lamela, Hazard, Firmino, Redmond
Ibra, Kun, Gray
Sure on the bench: Heaton, Friend, Fletcher
Today i think Redmond on the bench is the best option?!?Nah, I'd play Redmond
Amat and Kone have great home fixtures. Terry and Stones on the bench??
First i thought about Gray but the windy Pool-Defense is a big chance for him to score...
Play Redmond. Certainly play Gray. United will still give opposition chances and are slow with blind back there.
Tough which of the defenders to drop granted. Probably stones or Kone.Quite the conundrum, I'd bench stones
Yeah, Terry is the better choice than Stones but i think Stoke is not sure to score against City.
Kone and Amat are nailed in my team this GW.
Redmond can possibly score in Old Trafford but Gray & Firmino can do also in their match against each other.
Almost done just gotta ask one last thing-
Captain for GW2?
1. Aguero
2. Ibra
3. Haz
4. Cout
Thanks guys 😀 will go with your vote cannot contemplate anymore.Check the cap poll and go with your guy. I wouldn't cap Coutinho myself though.
I haven't read the article because I'm not a member yet this year but I'm guessing because of the picture that Townsend posted some big numbers. I think this illustrates a problem with a purely stats based approach to fpl. If you actually watch Townsend he's going to constantly post big numbers especially with shots at goal but the quality of his shots are terrible most of the time. Think he may flatter to deceive.
Thats a big assumption based on a photo.
It was based on the photo and watching the game.
I think you're right btw 🙂
I've got him because he's got good fixtures and I think he might make a bright start. Usually I wouldn't be so keen bYep, fair one. The fixtures are definitely appealing and you do have to shoot to be able to score. I'm sure one of his speculative efforts will fly in sooner or later and an England call up will be mooted!
Yeah, he and Coutinho are kind of an "approach with caution" fpl player because of their shots from distance. They are usually outside the penalty area, but hey if you don't shoot, you can't score...
He is a player who will consistently go 2 2 2 12 2 over a five week period. He'll average out about 4 points a match. Rough with the smooth.
I have Heaton in goal and I was really keen to start Foster in goal. With him rising I'm worried I won't get him in now! It's just that I was eyeing up Schlupp and don't want to double up on baggies defenders. It now looks unsure if Schlupp will even go?! Is it worth sticking with Heaton for the season? He did score 2 points for saves made!
I will. Have a little trust.
Worse comes to worse I suppose Evans is still there if Schlupp doesn't arrive. It's just I think Foster may score more than Heaton, he will play well against top 6 teams too. Not sure if Heaton will keep clean sheets against them.
Foster got a CS against palace, yes. Myhill+Foster combined got 83+56 last season which is 139(With 11 CS). Heaton alone got 150 with 10 CS in his only season. And now with more save points than that season, he is surely gonna better his stat on paper. Lets see, though. Shouldn't rush on a GK transfer.
Myhill+Foster's 139 is from 38 games which is 3.65 per game. Foster already got 10 the first match day. This point may increase. But it should be around the 3.7-3.8 mark. Heaton got 4 anyway. We should just wait
Where is Chelsea vs West Ham information?
read the match report on BBC or Sky
Who's the best alternative for this GW, Kane or Ibra?
Rooney or Ibra
Cheers
Collins is sure to keep his spot for WHU with a performance like that right?
That was a average performance tbf. Costa scored from under his foot. He made quite a few mistakes at times except for the goal which was classy.
Just saw the highlights, cheers
A decent placeholder may be Byram who was subbed in after Antonio's sub-par performance. With Cresswell out for a decent time, Byram might be the West Ham cover to get in. Need assurance, however.
He put in quite a few excellent performances last season but still got dropped when Ogbonna and Reid returned. I wouldn't get him.
What to do with Schmeichel? Stick or change to Foster?
Fix has him rising tonight so if you want him, get him now.
Good to know, thanks both.
go for it this was my FT too
Schmeichel
Evans - Stones - Shaw
Hazard - Firmino - Townsend - Tadic
Kun(c) - Kane - Gray
Jaku - Friend - Amat - Fletcher
Good to go?
Or do Schmeichel -> 4.5 & Kane -> IbraJust play Jaku. Save transfer. And amat over stones! Miles better fixture.
Give Kane home against crystal palace before you consider letting him go, let alone taking hits.
Consider Amat over stones
Just wondering what is you guys' realistic target this season?
Beating last year's score.
Same every year top 10k....
Finish top of the world. But wait 50k other ffs users have athe same team..!!!
10k and 6k the last 2 yrs so obviously aim is to better that.
Top 10k as every season
Win ML
Aiming for top 10k, or at least top 100k, and want to win all my mini leagues this year.
Dreaming of a top 1k finish, because it would make my season history look pretty cool, with the last seasons being bettered every year by a factor of 10.Matt
top 1k as always
Top 500
Do you think Barkley will rise up in price tonight ?
I sow on fffix that he will, but i need your opinion guys 😀No
I am not sure whether anyone knows the price change days yet.
I haven't looked at the transfer in stats but I think it would be pretty dumb if he did based off a lucky free kick.
4 shots on target
Which is the most reliable price change site? Thinking of doing Højbjerg (copy pasted his name) > Capoue purely for team value
That's really quite pointless
Why? Højbjerg didn't start so I'm assuming he's due for a fall, while Capoue scored so the casuals will push his price up, no?
Capoue scored so the casuals will push his price up, no?
You're the casuals than, no?
think not
Why not get Coutinho in rather
What to do with Ayew?
A) Bench & play Stones / Friend / Capoue. Lets me tinker with 2 FT next week
B) Ship for Ramirez / Lamela / 8.0m mid
Thanks
keep vardy or get rid for ibra (-4)
Get Ibra next gw if Vardy blanks vs Arsenal
Keep
I'm doing Vardy > Ibra in GW5. I have Mahrez too.
Really really don't wanna lose Sanchez but only way to get kun. Decisions
Not having kun will hurt more, a lot more
You would have to take a hit for that unless you on wildcard. So probably wait one more week.
7 years, 8 months agoWhat's your thoughts on Swansea defence, will they keep on playing well?
Remember they were bad some parts of last season and Williams is gone no.
