Paul Carlos Tevez takes a break. Cesc Fabregas is fit and may feature in Arsenal’s weekend friendly. Steve Kean finally signs a striker, though may see his skipper depart for North London. Alan Pardew is determined to freeze out Joey Barton and Joe Cole’s name blinks on the QPR radar. Here’s this morning’s Scribbles, folks:
North-west of Hamshere
thoughts on ireland?
Produces very strange characters like DBronaldo and Roysbrotherjohnson.
You mean these two?

Taraabt for the penalties or Wilshire for the better overall team? Same price, must decide.
Wilshere doesn't score and rarely assists...
Isn't anyone considering Dempsey in their teams?
if dembele plays i'll consider dempsey, if it's johnson i wont
mf is currently silva, benayoun, o'hara, taarabt, bale. too risky?
why on the previous few pages of this thread did it mention that zamora is injured... yet he is starting tonight's game?
Someone just making up rubbish?
said he was set to play in pain, it's not a serious injury just one they're monitoring and that he's trying to play through.
No, he's playing with a broken hand.
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/european/zamora-to-play-on-with-broken-hand-2331247.html
Read your long posts re bps, will be interesting to see how they turn out
Probably switch out Valencia + Ohara, still not sure on Balotteli.
Would it be worth swapping Balotteli for Zamora and upgrading elsewhere?
De'Gea (Kenny)
Luiz - Hughes - Kompany - Alcaraz - (Simpson)
Valencia - Nzog - O'hara - (Moses) - (Ben Arfa)
Carrol - Balotteli - Rooney
Just reading above about the death penalty debate in England's Parliament. What goes on in the Tower of London nowadays?
They must perform Shakespeare in there. I keep hearing about Tower Hamlet.
Most shakespearean actors who went to RADA are probably from tower hamlet
'the world's a stage and all the men and women are all players'
they're not posh though, they're shakespearean actors, they're actors: 'to be or not to be, cha ching!'
Sorry to bring up another RMT
I have been looking at the projections, early fixtures - basically doing everything bar creating a probability algorithm and I find myself with a spare mil. to spend - probably on defence with a view o minimise transfers.
Back 7 of
Al-Habsi/Given
Hughes/Kompany/Enrique???/Simpson/Da Laet
Any advice would be much appreciated - very tempted to down grade a striker to get another big gun... BPs on my mind.
Malouda/Silva/Taraabt/Sess/Moses
RVP/Bent/Holt
get rid of holt, the rest looks ok.
-1
Don't get rid of Holt. He plays Wigan gw1 and wigan don't like defending.
reports say he's headed to leicester for 2M.
Pah Reports - Not liking the look of other 6.5/6/5.5 strikers at the moment.
One report, from the Daily Mail, and is unfounded apparently.
What is the best option for an offensive Chelsea player? I currently have Malouda in, but I think that he might be vulnerable to a being sub'd.
It's got to be Terry or Cole, surely.
no, those are defenders...but as an Arsenal fan, you probably have a hard time recognizing one

2 fat ladies, RVP.
Knock at the door, Agbonlahor.
What in de h3ll is dis?
the higher the number seems to indicate the more often a striker made an attacking contribution (goals + assists) per match last season
Makes sense now I stoped thinking that it was Darren Fletcher 🙂
Right. *transfers in Berbatov*
although a few don't add up. it reminds me of SSN analysing joey barton tweets yesterday. 1 person posts something and other people waste their time wondering what it means when there's probably little thought behind it
I think this means Van Persie was the highest point scoring striker in relation to minutes played in FPL last season.
What do you mean, you "think"? You posted it up! Tell us what it is! 😀
Camzy, you a Yank?
I see your FPL page has U.S. ... just wondering if you're a American-done-good?
no, that's me 🙂
I'm from NY, >duh<, yourself?
CA, but live in AZ. i visit NYC annually, love it.
Very cool, nice rank last year - pleased to meet another domestic Footy-admirer ...
Let's make the Brits hate us a bit more this year, eh? 🙂
This is a bit like that film, Face Off... I thought you were the same guy!
ha, likewise. psshhh, they don't hate us - surprised more likely.
Since you're both from the states- have either of you flown delta airlines recently and would you recommend economy comfort?
how long of a flight? ya delta is fine and good for american express pts.
i'll be in the uk briefly next summer on the way back from the euros, suggested stadium tours in london? already doing emirates since friend is a gunners supporter, but i was thinking craven cottage for sure and white hart lane.
Thoughts on this team? here's the original one, but had to change it with doubts over Nzogbia. http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2011/08/03/members-projections-updated/comment-page-21/#comment-1786452
Kenny
Cole Kompany Baines Enrique
Moses Formica Silva Downing
RVP Drogba
subs (Given Graham Simpson Ferguson)
defence - rock solid, but if Enrique doesn't make move to Liverpool I'm downgrading him to Orr and use the money to upgrade my midfield.
Midfield - Moses and Formica are punts but both on form in Pre Season. Downing looked very sharp in the last Pre Season game I saw him in and I think his position is pretty solid on the left. Silva is quality and is showing that in pre season.
Forwards - RVP - in my team until he gets injured. Drogba is a punt but I fancy him for first two(see comments after RMT in link for my reason)
subs are weak but I can easily play 4 or even 5 at the back if I'm stuck.
is starting bale and benayoun too much of a gamble?
I just don't see the appeal of expensive Bale or rotation risk Beny for a starting squad. You could be more conservative and still be able to bring in Beny for the soft fixture in GW 2&3.... Spose you could pun on Bale GW1 then bring in Beny???
It is a bit amazing that no one has mentioned PFA POTY Bale, if they sign a decent striker who can do something with his deliveries, he becomes more appealing.
He is appealing with good fixtures but VDV is the man at Spurs come rain or shine. Your point is very true though. Can you see Spurs landing a good target man this season though?
First RMT
Would appreciate any input at all if you have a min;
Robinson (DeVries)
Baines / Terry / Hughes / Kompany (Simpson)
VdV / Yaya / Moses (Henry, Ferguson)
Rooney / Carroll / Zamora
No money in bank, concerned about Moses and weak subs, particularly after wk3. Thinking about downgrading a def or VdV and spending a bit upgrading moses/henry
will bothroyd and campbell start up from for qpr this season?? who is the best shout for a qpr striker?
What's this about N'Zog not starting gw1 - is there a source for this?
I think the fact that he's had no pre-season training or games and McLeish has admitted it will be a struggle to get him fit in time.
sorry for slow reply... i'm good thanks you?
Defence A or B?
A - Al Habsi Given
Hughes Luiz Kompany Orr Simpson
Question mark on Luiz starting, can have 6m city defender and double up for GW1 changing to Luiz/Cole/Ivanovic depending on stoke line up?
B - Cech Ruddy
Enrique Hughes Kompany Orr Simpson
Assuming Enrique leaves for Lpool and gets a assured starting place. Allows for cash to upgrade 5th mid of leave in bank.
Bendtner...
stop swearing!
Team A or Team B look better? Two of my many possibles...
A) Given Ruddy
Baines Kompany Enrique/Hughes Bramble Orr
Malouda Silva Taarabt Sinclair Moses
RVP Rodallega Zamora
B) Given Ruddy
Kompany Enrique Hughes Simpson Orr
Lampard Silva O’Hara Sinclair Moses
RVP Suarez Zamora
(assume Enrique at L'pool)
anybody looking at Agger this year? i still feel he is a great player!
since he scored that free-kick v chelsea i've never stopped looking at him
Starting to hear his name being bandied about (not quite willy nilly, as yet)... Probably a good prospect. I refuse to look at liverpool due to their $ antics of late... might have a look at enrique. LIV have a lot of settling to do.
Bendtner on the other hand.
He's in my team at the moment! But if Enrique moves then he won't be. Also considering Riise over Agger.
same here. keeping a spot warm until enrique joins, and if not keeping a spot warm for gibbs in gw4
Eeep. Having urge to take a punt on Welbeck with Hernandez out. Bet he starts vs the noisy neighbours.
you peps all dumping NZog and Zamora? just as i thought my team was sorted.. ARGH!!..
Yep, dumping N'Zog for Yaya after a bit of tweaking.
NEW POST! INSIDE KNOWLEDGE!!! 😉
Ooooh!
why is everyone dumping nzogbia and zamora???am i missing somethng??
http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Aston-Villa-battling-to-get-Charles-N-Zogbia-fit-before-season-opener-article780843.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter amd Zamora has a broken hand though may still play.
am i completely mad to even be considering balotelli?
What is the sunderland back four likely to be ??
Anyone knows why isn't Aquilani in FPL? I know there are a lot of rumors suggesting a move back to Italy (Hopefully Milan) but he is still a Liverpool player till now?
