Krul vorm
simpson richards jones bosingwa ward
silva sinclair dyer SWP arteta
rooney torres adebayor
I'm trying to hoover up price rises of Krul, adebayor, jones, simpson, dyer, whilst leaving my options open for late changes in the week.
My outed players are:
hilario, mata, shawcross, collins, holt, moses
Anybody know who serious the Smalling injury is? Looked fine to me but seemed to go straight in to get checked.
Looks like Jones is rising tonight so is it best to get him in now rather than Smalling for .1 less (or .2 if I leave it)?
I probably should of checked the scout tweets first 😐
Jones in (and up) tonight then 😀
It does ruin my plan for Hernandez v Norwich 🙁
Nani or Young Nani or Young?
lol. Such a tough decision. I think you win either way right?
agree. theyll share the points. Both are one fire right now
I think Young probably gets the edge FPL wise because of the set pieces.
But Nani is .4 cheaper and is playing just as well.
So yeah, either one really 😆
Actually on the topic of setpieces... the fact that Young always seems to tee up Rooney's freekicks at goal, and ludicrously you get an assist for that, might be worth considering.
Got exactly the same problem. I transferred Nani out for Young after Young's display v Arsenal. I think I might have made a mistake though. Young is an out-and-out winger. Nani cuts inside so much and makes runs from deep, he plays and scores like a striker. Chelsea match is a good example. I think you'll get more goals and as many assists from Nani. Now I just need to turn time back so I kept him.
had nani in week 1 swaped to young in week 2
debate is still ongoing!
cleverly's injury helps him a bit, interesting to see val/nani and young playing
i see nani and val possible sharing the rw with CL coming... but who knows its either or atm, nani looked better today, young looked better few weeks ago
hard call
+ just done a -12
Yeah Val throws a bit of a spanner in the works, can Val/Nani/Young play every game together?
Bear in mind goals are 5pts for mids so take on greater importance relative to assists. 1 goal = 2.5 assists for mids. I think it's fair to say Nani scores more with his dribbling and mentality so try him.
-12? Bloody hell. I keep having to resist the urge to take hits but the back of my brain is always saying "you'll lose more in the long run if you don't fix your team now"... Personally I'm thinking of a -8 right now?
I might WC... + I cant afford kenny so ive ruddy at the min
I didnt take a hit this season yet, and i needed to get rid of deadwood, seriously trailing this season
http://www.uploadscreenshot.com/image/464019/9259347
that's my -12 team
might get rid of moses and get kenny in then ive 4.8 to spend on a midfielder... nothing too interesting though for that price
Actually a very solid looking team. I can't suggest obvious ways to improve it. I was thinking that with SWP 6.4 you could get a cheaper but well-scoring player, but no obvious options.
If this is going to be your big reshuffle, why not go for the wildcard and spend the week trading every day to make money so your squad will be better, also dodging the -12 hit? You need to last to January without another reshuffle, realistic?
ade and swp looked fantastic last few games very impressive ...really would like kenny in but Vorm every week is fine, im sick of em on my bench!
the only players that will rise .2 are ade and aguero and i want to keep em! and the only 2 striker slots open since rooney vacates the other..
-12 aint bad if its the only minus points in 5 gws! id like to keep the wc for intl too 😐
Yeah fair play. I got to remember I also have -12 over 5 GWs, just spread differently. Saved my WC too like you, so yeah I can't wait for the next intl break. It's going to be a feeding frenzy.
Nani is magical, I find it very strange that people are still choosing Young over him.
He will be the highest scoring midfielder this season
sorry gonna repost this cos it's a new page. Can i run my WC past you guys…
Krul vorm
simpson richards jones bosingwa ward
silva sinclair dyer SWP arteta
rooney torres adebayor
I’m trying to hoover up price rises of Krul, adebayor, jones, simpson, dyer, whilst leaving my options open for late changes in the week.
My outed players are:
hilario, mata, shawcross, colins, holt, moses
follow up question:
arteta -> mata/nani
sinclair -> 4.5 mid
anyone worth buying at that price or would it have to be the acclaimed and talented shane fergusson
Having checked the 4.5 mids... depressingly they're all probably as good as our friend Shane. There is Tiote... but no. If you can play prices and squeeze out another 0.1, Nathan Dyer at 4.6 is the obvious choice but I take it you already have him?
Take Mata over Nani, not really on skill but because Chelsea have considerably better next 6 fixtures and there is no-one else really to compete for Mata's position. Definite hub.
Dyer is the best cheap-o option. Bradley Johnson if you don't have the extra 0.1m, although he'll probably get sent off soon enough. Even Tiote is a better option than Shane... you want them to at least get you a couple of points if you have to play them!
Yeah... Tiote got me a WHOLE ASSIST today after 4 weeks of getting bugger all. It is a shame how FF basically shuts defensive mids out of the game.
Yeah, I wondered whether they might have got recognition in the new bonus system, but it doesn't look like it. Although Mikel picked up a couple of BPs in GW1 for the 0-0 with Stoke, so perhaps there's hope.
See, sadly that's almost certainly because no-one scored, hence he's ranked high enough on the "PPI Index" thingummy. Some site analyzed the PPI index and found that even though it was introduced to make bonus points less subjective, it still pretty much only cared about goals. So really it just works as an extra top-up for the points the goalscorers/assisters get anyway.
Torres???
Has jones already rose up in price or still yet to happen?
Help appreciated 🙂
jones is probably definitely gona rise tonight because of people like me transferring him in just incase
haha i know yeah, ive transferred him in, was just wondering, not happened yet then i think, likely to rise through the night then or at some point tomoz 🙂
Price changes are apparently meant to happen 7am-ish (FISO, I think?). But I don't know about that. I recall checking at 4.30am (sad) and seeing the prices had changed. Get him now if you will!!
My last minute wildcard plan was foiled at the weekend by the old 11th-hour price changes... 2 rises and 1 drop meant a difference of 0.3m so I decided to abandon my plan and leave my fate in the hands of Walcott, Baines, and my captain Rooney. Oh, and my one-week punt selection- Klasnic. Clearly, I made the right call.
what a disaster. i just played my most tactical week ever, WC transferring all the players out who're dropping, and in the ones who're increasing with the option to meddle later.
was gona wait til after internationals but was gona have to take point hits
guys sould I keep dzeko or change him for adebayor...?
already have silva
appriciate...!
hard to say really, I don't think Dzeko or Adebayor will be that consistent but who knows, Ade is looking decent in these last two games
I say Ade is a nailed-on starter unlike Dzeko and I can see all of Spurs' play going through him as he's basically their only lethal striker. He does have mentality issues so he may burn out over the season. Try grabbing his good form now and be prepared to let him go later if he fades.
Mata or young?
Thanks Joe. Dont like Man Us fixtures but Mata reminds me of Modric-always assisting the assistor
How is Mata always assisting the assistor?
He has scored more goals than any other Chelsea player this year and is on set pieces.
Silva Mata SWP Dyer ****
Odemwingie Rooney ****
A) Suarez and VDV
B) Suarez and Nani
C) Aguero and Arteta (-4)
my friend have 3 each of Manchester United, Manchester City, & Chelsea player and at 340 points now. Wildcard available. No transfer have been made (yet).
Given Vorm
Bosingwa Jagielka R.Johnson Brown Simpson
Young Silva Brunt Sinclair Moses
Rooney Suarez Dzeko
2 free transfers and 0.0 in the bank
Brunt + ? to go
Dzeko for a more nailed on starter?
I may be not right, but I might adopt this DF approach.
Bosingwa + 4.0 + 4.0 + 4.0 + 4.5
Only way to have excellent front 6 + mid price MF + Dyer
Just for the sake of argument- you could have Vorm & Ruddy, and Bosingwa, Kompany, and 3 x 4.0m... with that backline I can fit in Silva, Mata, Arteta, Anderson, Dyer, Rooney, Aguero and Sturridge (or downgrade Arteta to another mid-pricer and upgrade Sturridge to Adebayor)
I think with the upcoming fixtures a city defender could be viewed as nigh-on essential.
Sturridge was woeful yesterday.
I want my GW 1 team back!!
Really? I didn't get to see the game. Maybe I'll go with Ade for now until Sturridge has had a bit more time to settle in.
I do think he'll get more game time than Anelka/Drogba, could be a steal at 6.5m, even if he does get rotated every now and then.
I'm still not sure about sturridge. He was excellent last year and seems to be favoured by AVB this year, but he will be competing with anelka for game time. I'm preferred adebayor for last FW spot.
Arteta and Arsenal also still not impressed yet. By your approach, we can have 5 big hitters, 2 mid MF (anderson + someone) and 1 cheap MF.
It'd be good if we can fit 2 good DF rather than 4 of 4.x DF, I agree.
That's what I've got:
Bos, Taylor (Swa), Gabbidon, Wes Brown, Danny "Two Baps" Simpson.
I think Neil Taylor is my 3rd. highest scorer so far this season!
+1, my impression is that defences really aren't feeling it this year, and clean sheet points are so unreliable that you should go for what's wiping them out - goals/assists. This mentality is partly explained by me going for a Hughes/Senderos Fulham backline. And being owned. The lowest point was when Blackburn scored against them.
Brunt -> Larsson
Dzeko -> Adebayor
?
Good to see sess finally recieve some points , hopefully sunderland bac on track
price rises in
Just did Dzeko to Adebayor. 0.2 swing next couple of days I'm sure.
Yeah. Financially and form-wise it makes sense. Just doesn't feel good losing Citeh attacking coverage. Not unless I can find some magical way to replace Suarez with Aguero.
did u get ade for 8.0?
he's 8.1 now
Bollocks. That teaches me for dithering, I regret that now.
Can we get the final answer on when price changes happen then? Obviously it must have happened around 4am. Yet some FISO sources say 7am or something?
Gabby, Jones, Roon, Dyer and Ade up .1
Djourou, P. Neville, Kuyt, Carroll, Kolarov, yaya, dzeko, M. Diouf, Ben Arfa, Gosling, Helguson, Sorenson, K. Jones, Gomes, Stam and Santon down .1
Will Mata, Johnson (NOR) and Aguero outscore Jarvis, Adam and Dzeko this week by 4?
They have to surely? Right?
Not necessarily.
Dzeko could easily get another 4 goaler with Aguero on the bench, and Adam is up against Wolves at home.
Mata vs Swansea seems a pushover but they have been impressive all year
got a real tough one here
A. suarez to aguero, walcott to arteta (4pt hit)
B. if i dont do A this week then aguero is sure to rise and suarez is likely to fall as well. it will mean i will have to do the same transfer next week + another one (most likely downgrade woodgate to a 4.0 - boyata or gabidon)
both A and B include a -4 so should i just do A this week or should i hold on to walcott and suarez
Right with regards everyone buying Aguero and Adebayor...
I can understand people transfering Suarez out, even with Wolves H coming up. Liverpool aren't in form and he's been missing an awful lot of chances.
Getting rid of Dzeko on the other hand seems odd given City's form. He's played 4 PL matches and scored 8,6,21,5 yet people are getting rid? And the "subject to rotation" argument is a non-starter since the same people are bringing in Ageuro whose in the same boat, not to mention it'll likely be Tevez/Balotelli playing the midweek Carling Cup games.
Methinks it's a case of mob mentality bandwagon going on here, and that hasn't been working for many players on this site so far this season.
Liverpools lack of form is overrated. They played well against Stoke and got unlucky. Yesterday they were down to 9 men to a Tottenham squad who played very well.
Watched the match and there was absolutely no difference to how they played before or after Adam got sent off (until Skrtel went) They were rubbish from start to finish. Their only two good matches this season have been against Arsenal (nuff said) and Bolton who're usually crap away from home.
RE: Aguero. Yes Citeh do rotation, but from the limited number of matches it seems to me that Aguero is saved for every PL match but the same doesn't necessarily apply to Dzeko. Ideally we'll have to see how it plays out as a long-term trend in the future, but that's a luxury pointseekers don't have. I suspect also that Aguero has better impact and goals-to-minutes. All of of course adding up to the eventual suggestion that Aguero is better as reflected in the maintained difference in price.
RE: Suarez. He's been wasteful but the fact remains that like Aguero he is one of those special players that can do things most strikers can't. I think it's fair to say Liverpool had an awful day at the office. But the previous 4 GWs have convinced me they have the talent to provide proper service to a world-class striker. I'm keeping faith with him for now.
I think the whole debate in the end comes down to whether you keep faith with talent or chase form. Unfortunately, you're often always 1 GW behind if you do the latter.
Captain Rooney till he doesnt score anymore!
Finally a respectable gameweek score (61 plus BPs to come for Nani, Sinclair, Silva(?), Sess(?)). Short on transfer inspiration this week though - any suggestions? Currently thinking of saving it and playing the below:
Ruddy
Bosingwa, Simpson, Dunne
Nani, Silva, Sessegnon, Moses
RVP, Dzeko, Suarez
Bank 0.0m
Subs: Given, Sinclair, Brown, Senderos
Is Sessegnon on Sunderland pens? If so captain him.
My team are:
Kenny, Vorm
Jose Enrique, Jones, Ward, Simpson, De Laet
Parker, Silva, Arteta, Brunt, Dyer
Dzeko, Rooney, RvP
For GW 6 i want to sell RvP and Brunt for Adebayor and Nani, or i just sell Brunt for Barton, how is your opinion?
My opinion is well
I would do Brunt > Barton
I know i'm crazy but i'm bringing in Torres for the week, he looked superb up until that humiliating miss and against Swansea he could really carve, he has one game to prove it and if he doesnt excel he becomes Aguero the next week so no harm done. The way this year has gone, I need a differential, and this could be it.
GOD HELP ME
Because Swansea have been so poor this season?
Why would you do it? He scored 1 goal and missed a shocker
Research has gotten me no where this season, i'm going on gut feeling, not putting the C on him though
Okay, good luck 🙂
I wouldnt be suprised if he gets a hat-trick
He looks a different player when Mata is on.
Maybe his problems really were about service and the team not being built around his game. Liverpool, Xabi Alonso -> Chelsea, Juan Mata... could be Fernando Torres Mk. II we're seeing here.
Or not.
He is looking good, no different from Suarez really - both strikers are playing well but just can't seem to score atm
Heres the team for this weekend (2 frees used, beat Dzeko price drop thank f*ck!)
Given
Bosingwa R.Taylor Enrique
Silva Mata Walcott* SWP
Suarez Rooney Odemwingie
0.9 in the bank.
Is it worth taking a 4 point hit to get Nani in (sure to rise and have the exact amount)
or even VDV? Or stick with Wally this week against Bolton and hope he starts, but almost certainly lose out on Walcott > Nani after that?
Im WCing this week!! I cant believe Walcott, Holt & Hunt start from sub. Need a new tonic with Ade, SWP & Petrov. Also to shuffle my defense option. Going to have a cheaper GK (Krul-Vorm combo). Advice me if this is just a knee jerk decision.
