Gonna do Brunt -> Mata, and need to do
1) RVP -> Adebayor
or
2) Dzeko -> Best to fund it. It's a shame that Adebayor went up and Dzeko went down in price, but which option should I take?
So Baines captaincy didn't go too well, oh well at least Rooney missed a penalty 😉
like
Sess ➡ Modric ?
4 point hit ?
no. Sess looks sharp and is always creating. Modric scored a rare goal. He won't given very good FPL returns, maybe
is there anyone else considering taking a punt on Yakubu?
Just to confirm.. A lot of us are doing badly - right?
I'm doing really badly, but the consolation is my rivals (Who were all fighting with me for the top of various leagues last season) are down with me at the bottom of our respective leagues.
I'm using this to reassure myself that we will fight back - a lot of the good players are down in the dumps. It makes for quite an exciting mid to end of season as people surely start to rise (and fall) dramatically!
But just to clarify - is anyone, anywhere, doing worse than me? (203 points!)
231 or so
top 5k last 3 years and I'm having the worst start ever 8)
haha yeah i was 13k last year (first full season but i got pretty geeky about it!)
But this year I'm almost certain my 'gameplan' is better than it was last time. It seems everytime I buy a striker he gets injured or sent off or he just isn't rooney (Who I obviously bought and captained just in time for his missed pen!)
The rooney penalty nearly made me throw up actually, since i also had nani (on the assist) and it meant a 15 point swing!
Oh, the joys of ranting.
Rooney was unlucky, the the earth was loose by the penalty spot, dirty dirty cech...
223pts, 100pts behind rivals (that I beat by over 150pts last two seasons) - was top 2k in the last 2y, now cant reach top 1m.
So I guess it is a very slow start for those who spend time and watch for the fixtures. Good planning always wins, so I really think my season will finally kick off this week end (with Suarez/VP and co having really good fixtures)
Yeah was always in my mind to buy suarez this week but I'm now extremely tempted by adebayor.
270 for me
the answer you're looking for is 'no'
270
302 ^_^
but then again, I'm quite good at Fantasy Football so I'm expecting better really
266
Have a feeling Aguero might get rested or not play the full 90mins this GW with the CL game vs Bayern on Tuesday. 😐
hes done alright as a sub 🙂
Would you wildcard if you had this team or should I hold off for a couple of weeks?:
Ruddy,(Given),
Bosingwa,Simpson,Lescott,De Laet*,(Baines),
Silva,Moses,Sinclair,(Sess,Surman),
Suárez,Rooney,Dzeko.(1 free transfer,0.9 in bank)
*if he starts,or else Sess.
My plan was to do just Dzeko->Adebayor for this week but don't know if the rest of the team is good enough.What do you think?
I would hold off and have 2 transfers next week. Would also play Sess instead of Moses this week
Cheers,mate.But why not buy Adebayor for Dzeko?Dzeko might not even start this week.
You would think Tevez and Balloteli would start mid week and the other 2 at the weekend. It's a tough one, but if you have Dzeko you have to be prepared for him not to play everygame, his points per minute is pretty high tho
Opinions on this please
A/ Walcott, Brunt and Suarez - current
or
B/ Arteta, Mata and Agbonlahor -4 pts
would give me a starting mid of Arteta, Mata, Young and Silva (Dyer)
strikers Rooney, Dzeko and Agbonlahor
B is good but I'm not sure if it's worth a 4 pt. hit.Hold on to Suarez one more week.And I would try to bring Mata in with the two freebies rather than giving away 4 pts. for it.
The only way I can raise the funds is downgrading Suarez to Agbon and Walcott to Arteta
Hmm.Then maybe it's okay.Because Brunt is playing like sh*t as well.But still,I would hold off on selling Suarez or even Walcott this week.Walcott to Arteta looks like a sideways move in the short term.
yeah true, just throwing ideas around at the moment. Thanks for the feedback. Off home now so logging off
cheers
Me likey.
I think Dzeko and Mata are the weak spots here
Chelsea have Swansea at home. Should I beat Lampard's price drop by selling him or have him for just another week?
Sell him for Mata, beat the price drop and get rid of that was of space while also keeping Chelsea coverage
Have a feeling Aguero will be the new Dzeko as far as being rested the week everyone jumps on.
Im going without any Man City strikers until i know for sure. Will have a nervous 90 minutes every time they play 😐
any bonus for dyer, young, rooney, dzeko, agbanlahor or warnock???
Played the WC just in time and managed to get Ade for 8.0.
Krul / Vorm
Kompany / Enrique / De Laet / Simpson
Ferguson / Silva / Dyer / Mata / SWP
Adebayor / RVP / Rooney
Thoughts on WC team? I've still got 1.3 in the bank but really not sure what to do.
i am planning a wildcard...please suggest me a good team...it has been a very bad start for me in fpl ???
plz reply...
Gimme your login and I will do it for you 😉
+1
Actually whatever ill do it:
Ruddy (Rudd)
Baines Cahill Luiz (Simpson De Laet)
Mikel Arshavin Modric Moses Malouda
Carrol Torres (Ruiz)
There you go
Dude, you have to pick the team yourself and then get opinions on it. The people on the site can't pick it for you
ruddy ( Vorm )
simpson,bosingwa,enrique ( baines,gabbidon )
b.johnson,murphy,young,silva ( dyer )
aguero,adebayor,rooney
I hope you werent serious
who me?
Yeah
😛 thats my team alright 100%
Really?
like i said 100%
Why Baines/Murphy/B.Johnson?
Two cheapies in the midfield when you arent even playing Baines and you probably wont for the next 5, Murphy scored a goal...talk about a knee-jerk
we all have different ideas mate. Whats your team look like?
baines will play most games except away to man city/utd. theres room to move if Murphy doesnt work out
I know, but what is the point of an 8m defender especially when you aint playing him?
And have you always had Murphy?
my team is:
Vorm Given
Bosingwa Enrique R.Taylor N.Taylor De Laet
Silva Mata Walcott/Nani/VDV(undecided) SWP Dyer
Suarez Rooney Odemwingie
yeah i hear you with baines, i still unsure if he will play this week. murphy was downgrade from adam to fund suarez to aguero
yep and fixtures are ok ( plus ex liverpool ) given there lack off fantasy points i;ll take it 🙂
Just checked Murphy hes gone alright last 3
Was wondering if i should get Aguero for Suarez but decided against it
Would seem the best tactic is to pick Rooney, captain him and then just fill in the rest with cheap players.
Marshall, Gordon
Djourou, Hill Jenkinson Johnson (liv), dawson
Essien Wilshere Lee (bol) Cleverley meyler
Rodellega, Campbell (Sun) Anichebe
4 Defenders (R Taylor, Jose Enrique, Dunne, Kompany) or bench one and put Moses on? With Rodallego out, he might play deeper and score?
Or keep him on the bench?
Jackoff - so transfer plans? WC?
No WC, im not Jafa i will stick by my word 🙂
Dzeko > Odem, Barkley > SWP, leaves cash to upgrade Walcott/R.Taylor
Dunno if i should take a four pointer for Nani in case he rises.
You doing any trannies?
I have 2 free, so will have to do "something" with this bunch of clowns of mine.
I don't want to WC as I will lose a free trade. I did it last year and it the extra trade could have helped me win my mini league if I had it in gw38.
This FPL year is a bit of a joke hey?
Yeah, I aint going too bad but thought my team was better than its going 😛
Got any transfer in mind?
What do you reckon of my Nani/Walcott situation
Anyone's FPL site opening "all funny" this morning?
If by "all funny" you mean low score, terrible ranking and shockingly ill-judged knee-jerk transfer, then yes.
Mine is always funny Mrs C 😀
It's slow, and the info is all over the show, not in the places where I'm used to seeing it.
Maybe it's just a sign that i really need to take a year off FPL.
Not good if I get so worked up over weekends. I'm taking it out on the husband and kiddies.
😳
I'm trying to stay calm this season and avoid mistakes of last few season's.
Also trying to avoid points hits and early use of wildcard but prices were ridiculous at the start of this season, they're going up fast.
By GW11 it may be pointless wildcarding as you won't be able to afford the team you want by then.
Plan was to WC as soon as gw 7 kicks off. I have 2 free trades(which I don't want to lose) and have already missed Ade/Djeko movements.
Trying to stay clam and stick to the original plan for WC.
Gonna do Brunt -> Mata, and need to do
1) RVP -> Adebayor
or
2) Dzeko -> Best to fund it. It’s a shame that Adebayor went up and Dzeko went down in price, but which option should I take??
I swear more than 2000 people have said they were in the top 2k last year...
Make it 2001
Guys, are the stats out that we can guess BPs with? Or do we just have to site and wait for FPL?
Has anybody worked out the bonus' from the index yet? Can't find it on the site yet.

Stick with Rooney as Captain? Or try Suarez?
I think I'd stick with Rooney, although Stoke away isn't the greatest of fixtures. United tend to win there though, one of the few teams that do.
Liverpool were an absolute shambles yesterday, right from the kick off. Suarez stamped around like a 4-year old who'd dropped his ice cream in the sand box and seemed ready to start biting people shortly before he was taken off. He may well score a hat trick against Wolves though, of course.
to wildcard or not to wildcard that is the question , team unfortunatly is linked , thinking bent out and either gabby (fixtures & form) or ade (starter and form) , any suggestions please and thank you
Will Dzeko's value drop anymore in the next week or two? Surely not, he got a healthy 5-pointer. And brunt is a thorn in my side but i'm out of transfers and only 0.1m cash.
It depends.. If he's no show in starting line or do nothing this weekend, his price will surely be plummeted.
Begovic, Given
Kompany, Baines, Enrique, S.Taylor, Brown
Silva. Sinclair, Walters, Jarvis, Taarbat
Bent, Suarez, Odemwingie - 2 free transfers...
Time 2 wildcard - Yes or No??
You will "lose" your free transfer. Just something to consider.
I'd take a 4 point hit to be honest, 3 transfers make a big difference!
thanks, midfield looks a bit light and nt sure what 2 do with bent as he has nice fixtures, though baines will free up some cash
Me! Where can you play it?
I have already wildcarded (GW4) and it has turned out really badly the past 2 weeks!
Had 2 freebies this week and I have already done Benayoun >> SWP. Have 0.7 in bank.
Do I spend the money on upgrading the defence which is currently: Enrique, De Laet, Simpson, Bosingwa, Ward.
Or ship out Brunt (good fixtures but doing nothing!) for someone?
My worst start to an FPL season ever and I am in need of some ideas please!
Vorm Given
Simpson Kompany Figueroa De Laet Wilkinson
Mata Moses Arteta Silva Dyer
Gervinho Aguero Rooney
Thinking of getting riid on wilkinson this week. What do you think?
I like it. I would do Given -> Krul, Figueroa -> Brown, if you have the transfers though. Great strikers.
