Andy Here’s the usual heads-up to remind all of the early risers that the Saturday Surgery is once again open for those seeking answers to questions in the final minutes before another gameweek deadline closes.
With a mixed bag on the horizon -ranging from blank fixtures for some, to double headers for others – there’s plenty to consider in the last 90 minutes or so. – hence the opening of the chatroom for those searching for a quick-fire yay or nay to any given dilemma.
Im currently sitting with a ranking of 600, with a wildcard in hand. Im really trying to make this team the best it can possibly be, as i'd love to make the top 100 or even higher up.
team is this at the moment:
Foster, Al -Hab
Luiz, R Johnson, Vidic, Walker, Simpson
Lampard(c), Adam, Fabregas, Malouda, Gardner
Van Persie, Odemwingie, Beckford
Thoughts appreciated.
Here is my team lads:
Foster,
Carr, Coleman, Luiz
Adam, VDV, Nasri,, A.Young
RVP (C), Carroll, Tevez
Begovic, Nani, Smalling, Huth
Got 3.1 in the bank and five doublers. 2 x Bham, 1 x Chelsea, 2 x Arsenal
I am tempted to get three Chelsea because they have better fixtures than Arsenal
Got a few options:
1. Tevez + VDV out > Drogba + Malouda/Walcott in
2. Tevez + VDV out > Lampard + Anelka
Which one would you go for? or any other ideas?
Cheers
Lads my closest rival is 15 points behind me and has RVP and will captain him but my second closest rival is 39 points behind and has RVP and Lamps and I think he will captain Lamps.
I also have both RVP and Lamps so do I captain RVP to protect my lead or Lamps as I feel he will do better in the DGW???
Who's the "safest" captain choice this week?
'safest' may be lampard just because of van persie's legs... I'd say lampard is a 'safe' 6-15 points
but most likely to do well is van persie. He's a possible 15-25
I'm going van persie
RVP. More people have him.
Who's the better captain choice, Lampard.
why? lampard quite often does nothing despite a chelsea win. When he plays, Van persie is involved in nearly every goal arsenal score.
Who would yyou play between coleman, smalling or odemwingie ???
did nani -- > adam this week? barmy or genius, il soon find out!
good decision in long term i think, and probably good decision this week since adam is guaranteed a start, in a good home game, and nani isn't
Spend the extra wisely and it's all good!
Kolarov to Roger Johnson a good move? Or should I just rely on Coleman/Simpson and have two transfers next week?
I just dont know, so frustrating. Same dilemma - have coleman in the team at the mo and have walker coming in if he doesnt play, but should i buy RJ or Ridgewell (4pt hit) and will it get more points this gameweek and in the coming week? They have a couple of 'easy' homers.
My mate is emigrating to new zealand. He says he is impossible to replace. We disagree and are recruiting a new friend before he goes:
http://www.thepeopleabovethepriests.co.uk
Take a look at the advert
Apply u won't regret it
Lads, already done 4pt hit. Worth another do you think?
foster
Luiz Huth Walker smalling
Young Nani Lamps NasrI
RVP Hernandez
Bardsley Dorrans Zigic
Yeah RVP. But think Walcoot might do a bit this week - and Nani very little....Im tempted to go walcott...
walcott is about the only rotation risk i'd consider, because he is amazing value when he does play.
His points per minute are beautiful this season
+1. Swapped him for Adam though - thinking the nest 3 weeks as well. Arsenal then have a shan run of games.
Can anyone help? Get rid of Nani or Young for Lampard. Swaying towards Nani only because of rotation. Right decision?
imo yes!
that site, http://www.ratemyteam.co.uk is great for a confidence booster ahead of the gameweek,
I put in my team and 4 rivals teams, and im coming out on top this week, and to the end of the season. i know its only probability, but sure isnt this whole game about probability really?
Gave me some re-assurance about my points hits.
Do you know their transfers? or you didnt include your transfers this week?
Yeah the website's quite nice to play about with i think
they only did 1 transfer each, and im pretty sure it was tevez to RVP, they dont have the money for lamps.
FPL games aren't won on paper or computer screens. 😉
they're certainly not won on instinct or gut feeling either haha
74 points on the way!
Hang on, i got that last week without any doublers on teh card. Hmmmmmmmmm
Who to bring in to replace VDV? I have 9.0 when I get rid of him and Adam, Nasri, Nani and O'Hara are my other mids.
n'zogbia or cleverley?
Start with Coleman or Smalling please lads?
Worried that Coleman may come on for 1 point and Rio + Vidic will start today
out of those two start smalling. Rio will play today in cup but cant play 3 games in 7 days and so samlling will play with rio benched on tues v newcastle.
hope this is the case as my defence is smalling / luiz / coleman. walker on bench first sub
12 point hit and sold Nani - could be a stroke of genius or the worst mistake i've made in FF terms
Foster,
Dawson,Luiz,Djourou,K Walker (Coleman)
Nani,Nasri,Meireles,Brunt (Barton)
Rooney,Van Persie (Zamora)
Correct to bench Seamus and Joey?
I'd start Coleman over Walker, although, more than likely, Walker will come in as sub.
I'd give Barton a crack over Meireles too.
does everyone think nani will be on the bench on tues then? If so, do you think it'd be better to start smalling over him??
Foster
Luiz – Smalling – Walker
Lampard(c) – Nani – VDV – Adam
Welbeck – Drogba – RVP
Begovic – Dawson – Bramble – OHara
Have 2 free transfers, already have my 3 Chelsea coverage.
Considered Drogba/Nani to Malouda/Rooney but i think thats not worth it.
Advice appreciated.
does this look ok ?
foster
smalling,coleman,luiz(walker,huth)
ferguson,bale,nasri,lampard(jarvis)
carroll,VP,drogba(c)
should i stick with drogba as captain or go safe with lampard or vp ? chasing a 60 point defecit and he surely has vp or lampard as captain.
great team but disagree with captaincy.
For me it's
1. VP
2. Lampard
3. Drogba
Probably been asked a thousand times but who do you captain, drogba, lampard or rvp?
My main rival has just played his wc so no idea who he has.
He will smash you this week with 11 dgw players & 4 ready for next week. 😉
great week to play the wild card, wish i had it.
Im still debating between lamps or rvp, toss a coin.
http://www.flip-coin.com/
Anyone risking Zigic this week, or is it worth taking a hit to get rid?
If he doesn't play I'll only be fielding 10.
yes you should start smelling!
lads,
Pretty sure my rivals all have RVP this week after transfers, and none of them have Lampard.
I have both.
Im protecting a 67 point lead in mini-league.
Who should I captain?
Quick vote please lads:
VDV and Tevez out. Replace with
1. Lamps and Anelka
2. Droggy and Malouda
Thoughts? Cheers
1
Walcott or Nasri?????
will i get shot of vdv or leave him be? I've a feeling he might come back into form. I was thinkin to get rid of him for essien but he rarely gets many points. Should i leave the transfer this week to use 2 free next?
Team without change... is:
Foster,
Luiz. Coleman. Walker.
Fabregas. Lampard. Nasri. Vdv. Nani,
Rvp. Carroll.
