The Community Round Up

For those who kept a keen eye on our community submissions and Hot Topics this week, the first Gameweek should be progressing well. The community served up with a wealth of excellent analysis about formations, players and team value from an array of writers and posters. We look back on the best of the last seven days, allowing those who missed out a belated opportunity to pick up some pearls of wisdom from fellow Fantasy managers.

The Community Submissions

In under a week, we’ve seen an impressive 17 articles contributed by community writers, offering some sound advice ahead of Saturday’s kick-off.

Template teams were the focus of Aussie Pundit’s look at the most popular players among Fantasy Football Scout’s veteran managers, while Nisag17 took a look at the template team emerging based on overall ownership.

The game’s heavy-hitting midfielders, such as Eden Hazard and Aaron Ramsey, remained popular targets for veterans and casual Fantasy managers alike. Bowstring the Trout provided this excellent round up of the elite midfield options and Eoin K followed up to cast his eye over these premium options in part 1 and part 2 of his analysis of the Fantasy Premier League’s cast of 9.0 men.

Further up the pitch, Daniel Sturridge was the subject of Jose’s Magic Omelette’s detailed look at how the Liverpool striker will fare without Luis Suarez by his side.

The community were also on hand to help those looking to plunged down the price brackets. The Puntmaster offered up this motley crew of budget punts, Nice to Finally Michu served up this look at FPL’s best 4.5m midfielders and Bowstring the Trout returned to chart his pick of FPL’s differentials with low ownership. On the other side of the fence, Home Run Baker warned against putting too much faith in poorly owned players as he looked to debunk the differential myth.

There are pricing pitfalls to watch for when investing in highly owned players. Anytimescorer’s look at the key groups of players that are likely to suffer early season price falls offered some early food for thought. With this in mind, AZ urged Fantasy Managers to keep their budget allocation flexible in order to react swiftly to a volatile market.

Player prices remained a focus as Rodellegabomb looked at the true value of players, as well as offering an explanation of “Value Over Replacement Player” theory. Another economist in our midst, Nisag17, has developed a theory of player value using incremental gain analysis, which in layman’s terms means getting more bang for your buck.

Premier League players making the transition from La Liga came under analysis in Khaled’s article. Meanwhile, Balotelli’s Bib ran the rule over the the best top flight teenagers and other young starlets.

Don’t forget, if you’ve got some analysis, scout reports or features brewing, be sure to visit our community section to submit your article.

The Hottest Topics

Two major schools of thought emerged on the comment boards during the final week of preparation. While some were stressing the importance of identifying the very best budget options, others were promoting the explosive points potential of the premium players.

Sting was amongst those advocating penny pinching at the back in his excellent look at the the cheapest options, while Athletico Timbo was also on hand to offer his thoughts on the best 4.0 options. Madridista was another urging caution with the cheque book. His analysis of the midfield’s heavy-hitters concludes that Yaya Toure and Alexis Sanchez are simply not worthy of their inflated price tags.

In stark contrast, Absinthe put forward a powerful argument for investing in top-end defenders in order to avoid a repeat of last season’s desperate scramble for the defensive bandwagons as a result of the bonus point re-invention.

Elninorules was another Fantasy manager promoting big investment. He focused on a single midfield target, advocating seeing past Eden Hazard’s 10.0 price tag in order to swoop for a player who could be set for a “breakout” season as a true heavy-hitter.

Elsewhere, The Holy Trinity Freak spent much of the week constructing a team that included not only Wayne Rooney and Daniel Sturridge, but also Chelsea’s Diego Costa. Hellbent on splashing the cash up front, he urged other Fantasy Managers to follow suit.

While many of us will lay down the Wildcard to repair a broken team, few of us contemplate revamping our team names. Your Mum’s Athletic provided some inspiration in this area, presenting the best team names around, with “50 Shades of O’Shea” and “Xavi Got News For You” among his picks.

The Community Tournaments

AZ has set up a new tournament for FPL managers – an early bird cup with 32 teams taking part. The latest standings can be found here.

        It's very important if that player is going to continue scoring well, and rising in value eg. Siggy

        Not so important on the Chester types who were lucky to score big and will probably leak goals after Europa games

      I did my first -4 pts of this seasons getting Siggy in for Young by doing that I had to sacrifice Lovren to Manquillo in order to squeeze in 0.5M for Siggy. Just hope Manquillo is nailed for RB. Any thought?

        He was decent enough yesterday, but no way to tell that he is nailed. Could easily switch Johnson to RB and play Flanagan or Enrique. In fact, it would surprise me if this didn't happen now and then.

        What would be best for Pool would be to just drop Johnson altogether though.

            Oh, we rate him, it's just that everybody likes Haidara too (who also played well in most of the games in the last 6 weeks or so of last season) They're similar players so the extra starts/minutes in pre-season swayed the opinion to Haidara. I'm always keen to caveat my opinion though so hopefully I didn't dissuade you from your choice?

                Dummett was playing in midfield in some of the last games of last season (to accommodate Haidara at LB) so that gave him extra license to attack which probably boosted him up your tables a little too.

              Not sure. Not sure on that too, but i think Kaboul will keep his place with Jan. Dier wont be used too much as he's still young and there are cup games etc to play him.

                That's the comfort - it was an obvious benching so almost everyone did it. Play the percentages and the benched points will be far less than if you take stupid risks. It was the right decision without the benefit of hindsight.

              Naughton misses one game for red card, not sure when Vert and Walker will be fit. Vert could in theory take Kabouls place to play CB with Dier, but unlikely.

            I thought it helped, though seem to remember a post on here giving an idea of the average points it gains you that way and it wasn't as high as I would have thought.

                          Because he didn't play and I don't know if he will start to play any time soon. I need to sub him out and get a replacement. Dier will go up in price tonight (he is 67% of the way to a rise already) and if I am going to sub him in, I have to do it today as tomorrow I can't afford it. I need to get a 5m consistent starter

                              I already have Clyne, I just want some consistent Spurs defensive coverage for 5m. My defence is;
                              F.Luis - Davies - Clyne - Chambers - Ferdinand

                              Is dier a consistent starter?

                              Oh! THAT Davies! Well, you were warned. Get Chester. Will go up .2 over the next two weeks, and you will enjoy playing him.

                              Or take a punt on Dier.

                                I know I was warned but I just assumed he would start. Spurs don't normally spend money on subs. I particularly want a Spurs defender because I can see Poch making them the second best defence in the league.

                        Coutinho to Tadic worth the transfer? Or any other ideas? Have Siggy, Mutch, Mata, and Sanchez.

                            No cash, sadly. Can wait another GW and then do a double transfer.

                          That seems a little punty to me. You might be better off with something safer, like Hazard, Sterling or Ramsey.

                          There are uncertainties about the value of Mata, Tadic and Sanchez, I think you need something safe at this point.

                            Thanks, maybe I'll save the transfer and do Sanchez + Cou to Ramsey + Sterling.

                          Seems like a strong move, although a -4 after one GW is always risky.

                          Sturridge can do better than sterling next gameweek. Aguero prob not going to play full match, Silva is. Don't see any advantage in that transfer.

                          How much risk is too much?

                          Hi all, I'm in need of some opinions to help me decide on the level of risk I should take with my UFPL subs.

                          I'm currently on 89 points with three Chelsea boys to come in.

                          Low risk:
                          Lovren and Jones (total 7 points) make way for Cahill and one of Hazard or Diego Costa.

                          High risk:
                          As above, with the third player coming in for Rooney (-8 points)

                          Immediate evacuation required:
                          As above, with a captain swap from Sturridge (-8 points)

                          I'm currently 13th in the game so I'm feeling a little less risky (scenario 1).

                          What would you do, and WHY?
                          Hazard or Costa as the primary option?

                            Probably the Immediate Evacuation with Costa as captain. I'd be surprised if he didn't score atleast 1 and it'll make the game a lot more exciting for you to watch with those 3 playing for you 😉

                              I would definitely do this if it weren't for a good rank. Not sure I have the cojones now!

                          My best start ever!

                          Except for the 2009/10 season where I was #1 in the world for a few hours on the opening day with 116pts but, like a fool, didn't take a screenshot so that moment is lost forever and I'll never get it back 🙁

                          I think I'm over that now though.

                              Hah. Tell me about it.

                              At least I know that I wasn't in two minds about it. 3rd sub and no intention to play him so I can live with that.

                              You, however...

                          Hey guys, any chance Davies gets a game next week or should I be shipping him out.

                              I was travelling when making the team, so did not even think about the fact that they have Rose in there who is a very good player. I just would like him to get a game next week instead of Naughton

                            I got rid. He may play or he may not, but I'm not having £5m tied up in def waiting to be benched again.
