The Captain Poll – Gameweek One

9 August 2011 2109 comments

Mark

Back in the routine yet? Maybe another familiar regular is what you need to reacquaint yourself with the route to the weekend Fantasy deadline.

We’ve duly published our first Captain poll of the season, canvassing your views on the destination of the Fantasy armband ahead of the season kick-off.

Straight way, we’ve got an interesting one.

Doubts surrounding the fitness of Robin Van Persie and Luis Suarez level the playing field a little, while Nani and Wayne Rooney will catch the eye, though both may look a risk against a West Brom side who will surely be well-drilled by the crafty Roy Hodgson. Perhaps a gamble on Fernando Torres at Stoke is in order? But then Didier Drogba could easily start at the Britannia, such is the uncertainty surrounding the Andre Villas-Boas teamsheet.

Votes are already streaming in. You can cast yours now via the homepage middle column and use this article to discuss the options.

Originally I quite liked the prices given to the players being a bit higher as it made it more difficult. But some of the midfield prices smacks of laziness or fence sitting by FPL Towers.
Far too many players on at 6.0, one of the things I enjoy about the start of the FPL season is finding those rare gems of potentially underpriced players - Carroll and Barton for me (Adam for everyone else). This time it seems really difficult to pick a couple out. A good example - Cabaye. His first season in English football, up against Barton for set pieces so no guarantees there - price 6.0.
Bah.

  If Given's your first choice you'd probably be better served having Ruddy as 4.0 backup as his fixtures rotate much better with Given's.

  Looks good, but...
  
  I'd be worried about starting Gabbidon, Moses AND Holt!
  
  Also, are you confident Alex & Zog will be fit?
  
  Is there a reason why you've gone for Moreira over Ruddy? Will he play?

    Why would you be worried? Theyre all nailed on starters and Holt is on set pieces and pens...
    
    And im keeping a close eye on chelsea situation but seems like alex is most likely to start, and Nzog bagging a goal on his debut pretty much tells me hes starting.

      Worried because you have a defender from a promoted club, captained a player who hasn't been proven at premier league level and a stiker who also isn't proven at this level.
      
      If it works out it will be great, but if it goes wrong you will have to wildcard. By the way, I considered fielding Gabbidon but decided it was too risky. I've currently got Moses in my team and Holt as 1st sub.
      
      Good luck!

    Even if Enrique goes to Liverpool, I wouldn't buy him. Not for the initial few weeks at least because of their fixtures. Also, Liverpool have had a horrid pre season, as far as defence is concerned. Plus a lot of injuries too.

  Dude, I thought I was the only one with 'A' in my team!
  
  And how are his first three fixtures crappy? Sure, city away isn't too bright. But Wigan and Sunderland at home sounds tempting enough, surely. And GW4 is Arsenal away, GW6 is Chelsea away, and GW7 is Stoke city.
  
  I feel his initial three fixtures are better than his latter three. Or four.

    It's similar to the worries that the second WC would make all teams the same again. There is actually a lot of variation, considering that there is a finite number of PL players who anybody would choose if they knew anything.

Give me some feedback please 🙂

How should I spend my last 2£? I’m wondering if switching Nani with Lampard would be a good way of spending those last mill.
Anyway, I might go for 3-5-2 istead of 3-4-3, it depends on the GW.
Btw, Carroll is to immediatly substitute with Suarez once I know he is back.

  Don't feel obliged to spend the full 100 if you don't think it necessary. It will make it far easier to adapt your team over the next GW or two without taking hits. I'm in the same boat currently

Well boys, i'm soooo P*ssed off tonight. My rivals aren't starting up another money mini-league this year. The whole reason I play this game is because of financial incentive. So, i decided to look for league codes with prizes and I found 1 or 2 but when I went to put the league code in, it said, it was fu*king invalid. This added further to my frustration. So, if anyone knows of any leagues with prizes and could give me the code it would be much appreciated. Also, if anyone is having the same problem with league codes could you stand up? Because it getting on my t*ts.
