We dig into the weekend data now, with the first of our weekly articles for members. Under the radar this time are City’s Spanish frontman, the Cardiff midfield, Everton’s full-backs, Sunderland’s wide-boy and the new role for Liverpool’s captain:
I'd put Sturridge in now, it looks like we'll score a couple against Villa so you can save a ft. Also if he rises by 0.1 you won't be able to afford that move.

I guess it's the best you can get with pretty low team value. This team would leave me with about 4m in the bank, and I haven't even had that big gains with players raising. I personally would not double up on SAS permanently, could be good for a few games tho.

@HVT and ILF,
Sorry for the silence in previous page. Was away at that moment, so thanks for the thoughts. I know i should just ride my luck with JRod, Roo and both Yaya & Silva, but patience has got nowhere so far this season. 🙁 Here's hoping for a brighter second half of season.Open Controls
Good luck NABIL, I'd been away too.

Why is Teryy down as price protected on Total FPL?
Open ControlsTerry
Open Controls
He's been shagging the price protector..?
Open ControlsNah just his missus 🙂
Open Controls
Figured it must be alright. cheers.
Open Controls
Protection's been a bit glitchy lately (Evra and Ozil the last couple of days).
Open ControlsDidnt know that cheers
Open Controls
Very good article Paul.
I've just noticed Ozil's stats for the villa game were still impressive even though he blanked; most passes in the final third and second most chances created. He also had the most forward average playing position.Open Controls
You know how loads of people dislike having Yaya in their team? Ozil is like that for me but I don't really know why.
Open Controls
People don't care if stats are good or if he plays well on here, they just went crazy as he only got 2 points. It all got a bit out of hand on here!
Open ControlsYeah it's odd, I suppose many on wildcards are looking for quick fixes and see Rambo as the best option.
I'd still prefer Ozil to Silva though, a more advanced role and much less prone to injury.Open Controls

Is this the best way to utilise your WC?
If you are set on playing your WC, activate it as early into the new GW as possible (i.e. after 11.30am on Saturday) - monitor and transfer in any players that are likely to rise in that week, before selling and settling for your final team prior to the deadline the following saturday?
Does that make sense?Open ControlsYes.
Open Controlsbecause this allows you to maximise TV by playing the market and benefiting from price rises?
Open Controls
Exactly - get 0.2m price rises... make sure you dont transfer out players who you want in your final draft if that will cost you money
Open Controls
That's not ground breaking 😛 Most of us do it unless responding to injuries.
Open ControlsYeah I know the basic principles week-to-week in terms of buying and selling for TV, but just wanted to make sure this applied within the week you have your WC activated! 🙂 cheers
Open Controls
thanks guys
Open Controls
Anyone transferred Aguero in yet or still waiting?
Open ControlsHe's in.
Open Controls
Am on my WC and I was waiting for Negredo to go up one more time for a profit before deciding whether to change or not. But Aguero will easily rise before that, so I'm still waiting but will see how he does tonight.
Open Controls
Two questions:
5th mid - a) Gnabry b) JWP Note I want someone who will get at least one point every week
4th def - a) Vlaar b) WilliamsonOpen Controls
Jedinak from palace gets you 2pts
Open ControlsGnabry wont play every week
Open ControlsWould you risk it for better potential when he does play?
Open ControlsDon't think so. Arsenal have way too many players to fit in there. Maybe Pozuelo for Swansea if you're interested in a punt. More likely to come on I reckon and Swans have some decent fixtures. But again not nailed on.
Open Controls
Whats your budget for each position?
Open Controls
How did Terry get price protected? I didnt even know he had been injured...
Open ControlsA mistake most likely
Open Controls
Is it possible to have a decent team if you've already spend so much to have suarez, rooney and aguero? And,
If you could choose 2 among the 3 mentioned above to be in your team, who will it be?Open ControlsPlenty of bargains there so yes. And I'd have Aguero and Suarez way ahead of Rooney
Open ControlsThanks man, working on my WC team, so many decision to make, how's your team looking like btw?
Open ControlsLooking to WC at the end of the month unless an Aguero price rise forces my hand. Constantly chopping and changing. Looking for something like:
Boruc, Davis
Coleman, Mert, Chester, Parr, Hudson
Hazard, Silva, Eriksen + Ozil & Pozuela or Gerrard and Januzaj
Suarez, Aguero and Adebayor/GiroudOpen ControlsNice, I've been using a 3-4-3 formation so far, planning to change it to 3-5-2, giving me more options in midfield, still chopping and changing too.
Open ControlsI prefer a 3-4-3 formation. Strikers seem a lot more consistent than the mids haha. who have you got?
Open ControlsCurrent team:
Howard (Daniels)
Walker Coleman Sagna (Gabbidon, Rosenior)
Eriksen Lallana Cabaye Y.Toure (Ward Prowse)
Negredo Suarez Lukaku
What do you think?Open ControlsMidfield looks a bit cheap but decent enough. Not much TV? Rest of the team is good. I'd look to maybe downgrading Howard too.
Open ControlsThinking of bringing in Oscar, Aguero and Ramsey would definitely have to downgrade some in the team.
Open ControlsFor this week though, I'm thinking of removing Walker for Kolorov of Ashley Cole. Still giving Lukaku a chance as Eve play west brom, maybe he could score?
Open Controls
Guidetti anyone?
Open Controls
Anyone know how many total users this site has?
Open Controls
Have a guess
Open Controls17K or so in FFS League for starters.
Open Controlstx. I'd guess the real number is closer to 20k then due to a few not wanting people to know they use this site etc
Open Controlsand the rest....
Open Controls
I suspect that the number of lurkers who are not in the FFS League is probably quite large. But there are probably also a number of users with more than one team in the FFS League - they don't usually get spotted unless they try to enter more than one into the FFS Cup.
Open Controls
Rate my wc please, changed my team too many times already...
Szcsesney mannone
Ward Chester clyne kolarov Coleman
Hazard silva eriksen assiedi januzaj
Suarez aguero sturridge
Is clyne nailed on?!
11,000th overall pushing for top 10 finish.
CheersOpen ControlsWhat impact do we expect the Ox's return to have on Gnabry's playing time?
Open Controls
Good to go? Using WC in GW24. I feel gutted benching 2 utd players but I think Chelsea might crush them.

Open Controls I'm having great difficulties in deciding on the 4th and 5th mid spot for my WC team, so I was thinking, is this a viable option?
Pick 2 uber mids (e.g. Pozuelo and Colback) to go with 3 premium mids, with the plan of always playing a 4-3-3. I can get the below squad with this strategy, and with the goal threat and CS chances for the defenders in question, I think I could be on to something. Thoughts?
Szczesny, Davis
Terry, Kolarov, Bardsley, Clyne, Ward
Hazard, Silva, Ozil, 4.2m, 4.2m
Aguero, Suarez, GiroudOpen ControlsA punt on one uber mid is enough I think
Open Controls
any news on jordon mutch?
Open Controls
What's the deal with Suarez, I thought he had scored 22 goals, yet the FPl site has him only scoring 21. Think they need to update that one.....
Open ControlsI think one of them was originally thought to be an own goal but was changed to a Suarez goal by the Dubious Goals Panel a few days later. However, FPL had already finalised the scores for that game-week so it remains an own goal in the FPL records.
Open Controls
Am I right in thinking the early season TV build up was for the Jan WC? Wont be too important after.
Open ControlsIt's always important to have high TV but the thing is at this stage you need to be thinking about maximizing points and not TV.
