Our next Members article looking at the idea of “value” sees Forwards come under the microscope. With a fresh revision of players last weekend in light of factors such as transfers and pre-season tactics, we’ve tweaked the Projected totals to give you an up-to-date reflection on our thinking. While many of our top ten value forwards are lower-priced options that perhaps may be more suited to rotation, the kind opening prices afforded to the likes of Luis Suarez and Peter Odemwingie propels a couple of FPL big-hitters firmly into our thoughts.

Fulham have a great run of games from the start. Would you not start with from the start??

Bobby Z is the obvious, Hughes a value option, Riise and interesting gamble.

What are you guys opinions on Enrique?
Will he make the move to Liverpool and is he worth having in a FPL defence?Open Controls-
I assume most here have seen this already, but for those who haven't. 6m to Liverpool.

if he makes that move then yes but i can see newcastle struggling after whats going on at that club at the moment so as long as he is at newcastle i would stay clear
Open Controls -
At £5 mill he would be by far the best FPL defender if he goes to Pool value wise
Open Controls-
-
As others have said, if still at Newcastle avoid but, at Liverpool, a bargain and def in my team. Yes Konchesky was rubbish but whilst he was in the Liverpool team for the first half of the season he was a genuine bargain. He didn't deliver the points but that was more to do with how bad Liverpool were at that time,they are much better now.

RMT please
Given
Cole Kompany Baines
Taraabt Silva Nzogbia Moses
Drogba RVP Holt
subs Foster Simpson Orr Ferguson Defence – Three quality players in FPL terms , all will score more BPs
this season judging by EA Actim statistics of last season.
Midfield – Expecting big things from Silva, Taraabt and Nzogbia.
Forwards – RVP is essential no matter what the fixtures. I fancy
Drogba to get the nod ahead of Torres in the first two games, and
Drogba had a great start to last season when things were going his way. I expect Torres to be in the against Norwich so I’ll do Drogs to
Suarez GW3.Open Controls-
I like the team a lot. Many people here will say too much in defence and not enough in midfield but i think the balance is good. Worry about Drogba minutes though.

Hi Guys,
I would appreciate so pointers on my team.
Given – (Ruddy)
Looks good for rotation
A.Cole – I am torn between Cole and Baines but I need Chelsea coverage
Hughes – Good starter, will get some assists, for a good price
Kompany – Obvious reasons
O’Shea and Simpson – O’Shea will Play and be captained, Simpson is cheap and will play –**Advice welcome**
Moses - Punt
Taarabt – The next C.Adam…etc etc
Silva – Class player
N’Zogbia - Obvious reasons
Dyer – I think Dyer is a decent sub who will play and good for rotation
Rooney – Class, can rotate with RVP
Ageuro – A punt as he is untested. But I don’t think I can go far wrong with the team he has behind him.
Rodallega – not everyone favourite player, but he is the striker against the 3 promoted clubs, there has to be goals.
I have 1 million left in the bank to either swap Rodallega of Odem when his games are more favourable, or change Silva to VDV or another top midfielder.
What do you think?Open Controls-
1: Get Ivanovic over A.Cole = More Goals & 0.5 Cheaper
2: 1.5 Spare = Get Sinclair Over Dyer
3: Leave Silva and Rodellaga cause of First Few Fixtures.Open Controls-
Ivanovic isn't a guaranteed starter though
Open Controls

It's a decent team...
I could suggest some changes, but I'm not convinced it will strengthen the team and theses things are entirely subjective...
So I suggest you stick with it for the first couple of weeks and see how you do... then if it doesn't work out then you can make some slight alterations...Open Controls

Any thoughts on my team after changing quite a lot. I have made about a dozen versions by now. Focus is on City-Chelsea-Fulham because of the first fixtures:
Hart (Ruddy)
Terry-Luiz-Kompany-Hughes (Simpson)
Silva-Malouda-Taraabt (Moses-Ferguson)
Zamora-Rooney-Holt
The only 2 players I don't quite like are Ferguson and Holt but can't any players in the same price range.
Any feedback would be appreciated!Open Controls-
If you don't like Ferg and Holt, cheapen your defense. Seriously, 4 guys that cost 5 or more is way too much, considering you should only be playing 3 each week. Double Chelsea defense is also not the greatest, unless you REALLY expect a lot of cleanies. Same with Hart and Kompany: way too expensive in back.
Open Controls-
correction, including hart thats 5 that cost over 5...way too much

90%? do you mean in the next month, or at some point?
If Fabregas goes (likely) and Mata stays (looking increasingly likely too) there's no way Wenger is going to budge on Nasri. He seems content to let the £20 mil go sailing by, for once.
I'd expect him to be there at some point, but not sure it'll be in this window, unless Nasri really stomps his feet, which seems a little needless.Open Controls-
The idea of Arsenal, of all clubs, letting £20m+ go begging is seriously lolzworthy. Deadline day, 25m bid, he's gone.
Open Controls-
You underestimate Arsene's stubborn streak ...

Modric will probably happen as Spurs are, despite what they say, a selling club. Nasri probably won't happen due to Wenger being a stubborn old git and even us fans telling him to sell if he gets 20M. ...and Wes is unlikely to move back to Utd so soon after moving to Sunderland! 😉

yeah pretty much, just predictions anyway. i'm trying to second guess AVB regarding ramires. if he rates him there's really no immediate need for modric. although saying that with essien out they're one injury away from mceachran then another off having to patch up the midfield with an out of position prospect like benayoun, malouda or luiz
Open Controls-
in fact allowing zhirkov to leave could be a hint modric is coming, for both funds and the fact that zhirkov is cover for the middle three

Alex Ferguson's post-match interview with a French TV reporter this evening can be viewed here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1djL1aOb4E
While his comments on Sneijder seem fairly non-committal, it's possible that Ferguson misunderstood - or chose to misunderstand - the question about Berbatov posed by the French reporter in her faltering English.
Q: "Could Berbatov play with Paris?"
A: "Yes, absolutely, no problem."Open Controls-

Hard to say really. My guess would be:
----------De Jong----------
------Yaya------Milner-----

Lining up behind Aguero, presuming Tevez leaves.Open Controls-
Milner!?
Lad couldnt get in an Aguero - Nasri less City team. For obvious reasonsOpen Controls-
yeah, i know he doesn't deserve to be there, but i think Mancini's preference for a 4-3-3 formation, and Mancini's growing dislike of Balotelli's petulant behaviour might put him in with a shot. I wouldn't play him, but i have a feeling Mancini might..

Bent, RVP, Holt
B.
Given/RUDDY
Kompany, Baines, Simpson, Orr, HUGHES
Nzogbia, Silva, Moses, Sinclair, DOWNING
Bent, RVP, Holt
Note: for A. Can switch Barton for other 6m midfielder as reqd.Open Controls -
Morning Lads! Any thoughts on my current team? Been changing it constantly and im feeling pretty happy with it atm;
Given (Ruddy)
Luiz Rafael Kompany (simpson)(Wilkinson)
Barton VDV YaYa Toure Nzogbia Silva
Hernandez Suarez (Beattie)
RVP and Aguero are in serious consideration to get in, but struggling to find the money. Barton could be dubious as well
Any thoughts?Open Controls-
with yaya toure and silva, maybe dowgrade yaya to 6m (e.g. sinclair) and then hernandez to RVP.
Open Controls-
Decent call, just Man City have some good fixtures, I can see them hitting the ground running this season. RVP though, hes got to find a place a few games in

Open Controls-
I read Marveaux played a few times as a LWB in France. Wonder if thats a possibility.
Open Controls-
And yes I know this is irrelevant to your post.
Open Controls-
it is because it could stop taylor playing there.
Open Controls-
It's a good call, but didnt Newcastle sign another Taylor from Swansea who's a LB?
Open Controls -
Ryan Taylor, James Perch and the youngsters Kadar, Ferguson and Dummett will all fight it out for LB. It's a wait and see job i reckon.
Open Controls -
R Taylor has never played LB for newcastle and said that he no longer wants to be a utility player and is fighting for RB...stev taylor maybe, ferguson when he is fit Tav or someone new
Open Controls

Unfortunately he can, so can James Perch.
I am not looking forward to this season.Open Controls -
He could play there, but I would say very doubtful he will, he'll be used in RB, or CM, possibly RW depending on other available players. Personally I'd stay clear, he's unlikely to see much game time
Open Controls-
Marveaux RW all the way hopefully. He'll slot into the hole Barton leaves.
We also don't have any other RW'ers (Ryan Taylor doesn't count).Open Controls

Not sure Valencia will play every week with Young/Nani etc so risky
Open Controls-
Point taken but SAF clearly loves him given how he immediately ousted Nani when he came back towards the end of last year. I think he could be massively under-priced.
Open Controls-
Valencia was used more because Lord Ferg trusts him more in big games and his return coincided with Nani's dip in form. In the long run, the pair will be rotated.
