Akers Just a quick reminder to those competing in the Paddy Power Cup V – Round of 16 that the Quarter-Finals will take place over Gameweek 21, and not Gameweek 20, the deadline for which is tomorrow.
The Last 16 results will be published later in the week, along with the all-important Quarter-Final fixtures.
want get rid Sturridge.Who is better : Fletcher / Morrison (8pts hit)
or any better forward.with 7.3 selling price & 0.2 in the bank.help please
Why get rid of sturridge? have you seen the next 4 chelsea fixtures. All easy.
madness
exactly true..not in my mood.
lost on last page
should i start drenthe or silva?
i play both~
my team is
vorm
BAE, kompany, naylor
osman, drenthe, nani, bale
ade, stur, rvp
subs: krul, silva, caulker, evans
so you can see my dilemma here.
LOL ! same team with me.just osman different.thinking to bench sturridge.not enough try when drogra comeback for starting XI
so, iv only gone and done silva to vdv for a 4 point hit, gamble which could easily bite me back hard but nothing could be as bad as the last couple weeks.
WONT DO IT.
Looking at previous games i refuse to Bring Ade in over VDV.
When VDV has played Ade hasnt managed to have any outstanding games of note. Sure he might score but Haveing BAE for WBA and EVE at home with balance that out. So for me VDV, BAE and Bale
Adebayor's scores when VDV has played;
12, 4, 6, 8, 2, 2, 6, 13, 6, 5, 7, 5, 2 = 6 points per game.
VDV - 1 goal, 1 assist in 9 weeks.
What history were you looking at ? 🙄
Why would you choose walker over BAE? Almost no reason to. 0.6 mill is quite alot.
I got walker for 0.5 more. It's a silly personal thing for me tbh - I rate Walker far higher and just really hate BAE - I know they get similar points.
Is Brunt(injured) to Sessegnon(Wigan away) worth a 4 pointer ???
Already have injury concerns about evans,vermaelen and Sturridge .. Need to get 11 players on pitch ..
Sessegnon looked class yesterday, how about Osman and then fix your team up with wildcard laters.
Got only 6.5 M with me .. Can't get osman... Another option is enrique to hibbert and Vermaelen to Baines for an 8 pointer ..feels foolish though
I would do it
ok guys have a meeting and might not be back before the deadline so need to sort things out:
friedel
caulker shawx baines(c)- enrique monk
walterss (dbt) nani bale osman drenthe (dbt)
sturr (dbt) rvp (dbt) ade
what should i do there? im at the risk of not fielding 11
any transfer will be for a hit
Ade got 2 goals and an assist away at West Brom earlier this season. Might give him the captaincy over Bale!
toss a coin.haha
Bollocks to Drenthe !! The Holy one is the best.
+1
His third coming into my side after this DGW
2 Free transfers, DGW, WC and 30pt lead in mini league have thinking about loading up on the DGW players thoughts the following moves.
(A) Rooney, Shutton and Gower out for Baines, Osman and Yak...(-4)
(B) Rooney, Shutton and Gower out for Baines, Cahill and some 5.2 striker
(C) Rooney and Shutton out for Baines and Yak- NO HIT
Any and all salient thought greatly appreciated!
Current team:
Vorm
BAE Jones Shotton (Enriq Simpson)
Bale(C) Silva Moses Walters (Gower)
RVP Ade Roo
You're good to go. No need for EVE investment imo. I'd be trying to find a way of getting Nani into that slightly lightweight midpark.
Ya the more i look at it...i could just bring in Hibbert. Only way i get Nani is to move Roo or VP, but I agree MF is weak. Thanks!
Howard (westwood)
Shotton Walker Jones (evans, bardsley)
Silva, Nani, Walters, Drenthe (ben arfa)
Sturridge, RVP, Adebayor.
2FT, 0.3 in the bank.
any thoughts? how to bring in bale without dropping either silva or nani
anyone else not really wanting to wildcard? every player in my team, except moses and jags has gone up at least 0.1m and not sure i want to replace them
Same , only have about four players who would be bothered to change.
Wish there wasnt a wildcard tbh , gives the poor managers chance to correct all their mistakes
just went on everton mwessage board, according to a thread there, apparently drenthe was unavailable because he was sick (partying new year's when he assumed not starting for Moyes' defensive minded road selections were the conclusions drawn there). Should be available for Wednesday.
Unless Drenthe goes beserk on Bolton, he wont start against Spurs. I know Im not going out on a limb about that, its just that it seems obvious now. I should have heeded the warning before transferring in.

I reckon lots going to use wildcards straight away , and with it being such a long gameweek prices are going to change bigtime.
With that in mind im thinking of no transfers this week , giving two freebies to take advantage of any big movers.
Its either that or just do Allen to Moses , or a rubbish Everton midfielder, might just save it
i see you have sturridge and silva. are you playing them both? if not, which one are you choosing?
Playing them both ,Chance Sturridge wont play but thats ok
Those that bring in all of these EVE players in will certainly be on w/cs lol.
Morning. Care to share what your rationale is on when to use the Jan/Feb WC?
I can't see more than say 3/4 changes max that I would want to do with mine.(which is not bad I suppose if you can do them for free) Was just worried I was missing something since i have not really looked at my ticker.
Mornin' Inze. Not sure on w/c. Thinking later is better than earlier. Right now, there is little I want to change with my team.
The teams at the top of the ticker make little ff appeal. Probably best to play the wc at the end of the transfer window and assess the injury situation.
I can't see anyone bringing more than 2 Everton players - and hibbert is good value at 4.8 so I dint think wildcarding will happen because of that.
Any chance of evans playing this week ?? Is Evans to Hibbert worth a 4 pointer for this week
Worth doing but not if it costs points.
your points hit will be covered by the two games but do ya really want Hibbert long term and he might come out of the two games with only 4 points so you've gained nothing and Evans will probably get his game if not this week then next and United are a better bet than Everton for clean sheets over next few game weeks.
Good morning dead zoners.. Its my birthday today and as aa present can you please let walters be fit to play..
unsure what to do with Drenthe, was there any news over night?
Happy birthday!!!, and look at FW's post above re drenthe
.....someone wiped the floor with you in L5
Happy birthday Mr Drinkwater. Baines doing well the last 2 weeks not good enough for you?
😯
please
the pain
must lie down
huh?
-8 points to get Baines in for favourable fixtures.... 2, 2, 2, 6
-8 to get him the hell out again... 10, 5
-8? Your still hungover? I took a 4pt hit the week I took him out. 3 trsfrs were made. Of which one was Walters. 16pts over 2 weeks. Good? Not?
Always interesting that if you take a hit how people take the defender as the player you took the hit for...?
JE getting injured after 45min was just plain bad luck. Baines getting the peno after Osman fell over his own feed was just plain cruel.
So shut your mouth young man.
We share the pain then.
Guessing I could be your older brother btw
happy birthday mate
rumours that drenthe came down with some illness... like so many others this Yuletide
thanks all... was just finishing my birthday breakfast in bed 😀
There are currently 7 player pulling their weight in FPL - i,e. Value(Form)
GK x1
DEF x2
MID x2
FRW x2
Can you guess who they are?
I can try 🙂
Vorm
Kompany, G.Johnson
Valencia, Moses
Ba, Yakubu
Actually how many games is it?
If it's 5 then leave it, but I dunno if its 3?
used to be 5 at least
you have 3 of them!
If 5 then definitely Valencia and probably Moses.
Struggling to remember when Johnson returned and when Vorm saved that penalty 😕
So: Moses, Valencia and Yakubu
Hint: two of the rest are especially nice to have for this GW
Mine new guesses are above, but now change McAuley > BAE please 🙂
You got another.
Time for the revelation.
Friedel, Hibbert, Skrtel, Moses, Valencia, Yakubu and Fletcher are the players with 1.0 or more in Value(Form)
Was surprised to see Skrtel and Friedel there to be honest.
Pick Started for GW20.
S Kelly - Ars H
Naylor - Villa A
Santon - Manu H
starter*
Just RMT this 11, forget the bench--
Vorm
Smalling/Ward BAE Hibbert
Bale(C) Nani Drenthe Silva Walters
Ade RVP
7
Salutations. It is I, Sir Willis Hide, who is here once again to inquire about the disappearance of Royston Drenthe. Why wasn't he in the squad against West Brom, and will he play against Bolton?
Time for a punt. I am doing Brown ➡ Clark
am i really not going to get a double rise out of jags? cmon man
vorm, kenny
jones, enrique, brown, simpson, ward
nani, bale, silva, walters, shelvey
rvp, ade, sturridge
1 ft and 1.6 in the bank
was all ready to do nani and shelvey to vdv and osman for a hit when i see that walters sturridge and brown are all listed as doubtful. do i stick with my planned transfer or do something else?
What is more likely to happen:
A) BAE clean sheet for both games
B) ADE scores more than 2 goals or more in GW20
I would say A?
B.
But I fancy both.
No.
tomorrow is always coming but never gets here.
oh, how wise i have become in 2012....
Go for it, what attempt number is this?
With Drogba, Sturridge, Kalou and Malouda all apparent 'doubts' he SHOULD start..
Is that just this season?
He'll score a hat trick and be essential by next GW.
so is everyone going bale over ade for capt? i've personally gone with ade
Ade for me. Creates more chances on goal and has the better ppg.
