I toyed with the idea of having Terry in my wildcard. Came to the conclusion in the end that he just isnt worth the money. Taiwo is fine if your happy to gamble a little bit. Clark i personally dont like as there a much better cheaper options but he does seem to pop up a bit on this site for some reason.
Midfield is strong.
No RVP is the obvious flaw in the forward line. Although I do like the Bellamy punt. He will be a great differential and if he can nail down a permanent starting position (altho unlikely) I will be strongly considering him for me team.

could you get rvp in for bellamy if you dowgraded terry to a cheapie?

I agree with TW, Terry to Evans & Bellamy to RVP. RVP will outscore Bellamy more than Terry will Evans.

Best RVP Sturridge 🙂

RvP RvP and RvP 😆

In all likelyhood

RvP, Ade and, if he plays, Berba

Edin Dzeko

RVP, Ade and Aguero for me.

p.s may or may not be my lineup :p

RVP Ade Welbeck

conclusion, Rooney, RvP, Ba and Yak can score anywhere vs anyone.

good bit of scouting there though sir

Kneejerk lessons... Zamora, Agbonlahor and Bent only seem worth playing at home, Dzeko has uncanny skill at scoring away, ditto for Fletcher and Sturridge, Aguero has scored much more at home but still has scored at least as many away goals as half the players on the list.

Thanks mate. Good bit of info that.

Richards and Santon ftw

Any chance I could squeeze another rise out of BAE or Morrison before tomorrow, so I could do Kompany and Santon? Thought not!

richards and santon

Sess and McLean is not necessary, lose Sess to Walters/Ethers or McLean to Siggi.

Especially looking at their fixtures after norwich. I would get rid of Sess if I were you. But ideally after Norwich at home!

Yep spot on mate. Personally I was going for Nadal but the fact that Djokovic played 2 epic matches, as you say, almost 11 hours of constant focus make him a deserved winner thats for sure. 3 games of football in 7 days seems nothing in comparison. I was in front of the TV (and computer) for over 6 hours last night. I just couldnt look away. Such a great game. The best final (or match for that matter) that I can remember seeing.

Ya it was amazing, what incredible athletes. To think the female players wanted equal pay for even though their matches are about a quarter of that! If they were just starting the match now it wouldn't finish until after 8am 😮

Na Van persie seems to be the standout captain choice this week in my opinion

Silva is a great and consistent player but he's not captain material. Bale, VdV and RvP are the logical choices in the absence of Rooney and Nani

Do you know when the Sunderland v Middlesbrough game will be played. As a Gunners fan dont really fancy playing Sunderland lol.

yes

Absolutely.

Yeh if you have nothing else to consider.

Anyone?

looks good to me

Not this week. Perhaps next depending on how they front two go this week.

Richards instead of Dzeko. But that combo could be leathal.

does that mean you will be going without rvp or ba?

looks fine however Brown injured & Turner not first choice, will have to trade him out again later down the track.

Haha nope. That's what nerds do! 😉

Thats what im doing. Altho the deadline will be 530 am here. So will get an early night and then wake up early haha.

there is no deadline for Weds is there, just 19:30 on Tuesday? Do you mean price rises?

I do not believe people in China should be at risk of being called sad for doing what is perfectly acceptable over here 😀

Think of doing the same, will be getting up at 6:15am in Melbourne so not as bad though.

Probably a sub appearance, start is a very optimistic.

Evans.

LOL just realized the prices changed 1 minute before I posted that. Sorry, never mind...

hmm, there is too much weight up front, who will you bench. I'd lose Walters or Sess and Enrique after this week, stick with keepers for now.

Same front 8 as mine, i have been hurt by poor subs in the past so i like having someone who might score on the bench. got wc in bank?

Yep. Underrated, wherever he's gone, whatever level, he's delivered.

to be fair he could have easily scored 9 - 10 if he had scored the penalty, i too had him and just view it as unlucky. but get what you say

Differentials are, by definition, going to be riskier. What you get on here is advice as to who are the statistically/theorectically best picks

For example, Walters. He scores well at home usually, and bar that penalty miss he would have delivered, but there are no guarentees

It depends what your goals are. Yes, if you are behind in your mini league and your rivals have similar teams then yes you will have to take punts, but my strategy is predominantly to pick the players that "should" score the most points

Good post & totally agree. However sometimes it can work the other way. I left out Dempsey & Sess on my WC for McClean & Mata. What a big mistake that turned out to be. However Dempsey scored his hatrick in a unbelievable 30mins while Mata was unlucky with 6 shots for no result, could have been very different on another day & my Differential might have worked wonders.

Totally disagree. What you get on here is a consensus about who the best picks are. To win at this game you need to consistently pick the best players for points throughout the season. The moment you pick a player because he has low ownership rather than point-scoring ability, you have lost.

The trick is to find a better combination of top points scorers than everyone else. They might all be obvious picks individually, but the combination is what can set your team apart.

For the record I finished 32nd last year and I didn't need any differentials. The key was getting on bandwagons at the right time e.g. Kuyt at the end of last season.

I think it depends what your target for the season is. If you want to win the whole thing, I guess it is imperative to have the skill + luck to get a few players that the majority don't have just before they hit massive form. After which everyone will get them in. If you just want to win your mini league, and most of your rivals aren't on here, then your best to stick with the tried and trusted old favourites I reckon.

apparently they're werent linking up so well in africa but with the 442 used at newcastle system it looks good on paper. i will wait to see before investing in either though...

Im going to wait before putting either in. But if you want one in from the get go then it has to be Ba.

Got to be Ba. Its a rare player that comes straight into the English game on full flow.

Ba himself has taken a fair few seasons before he's hit this great form but now he is proven and is delivering. Considering he's only 0.3 more than Cisse I don't see any value in taking the punt

Ba and Rooney have - in their own separate ways - destroyed a few FPL scores this season. 🙁

yep good move, good looking team
how much u got in the bank for the Yak transfer?

man liverpool has some shite fixtures with a bye week...kelley out?

Not sure you should be setting up your WC team with the view to take a points hit the following week? Y not settle for Aguero this week?

The young tacker has been on fire ... the ONLY thing holding many people back is that Sess ownership makes it hard to justify 2 Sunderland midfielders. Otherwise I completely agree, wish i had him instead of Cabaye at the moment.

Yeh it was a quality ball. Tough to go past atm that is for sure. An absolute steal at 4.5

Huth + Jeckal -> Shotton + Aguero.

Kelly/Send and Shotton might be a risk but it's a dead argument as you have enough defensive cover in any case.

Santon to Simpson perhaps. Senderos is more nailed on than Kelly so thats another option. Mayb change Caulker.

I know right.

Jafa: 600 posts: 6000 replies.

For every post, a 100 replies to people's teams.

Raylor to Santon is good. Simpson would be better imo tho if u have the extra .2 to spend.

others def are BAE, richards, senderos,caulker

I have sorensen & vorm.then i play vorm..
With this situation, i would go with Given

Given, however the Supervorm points on the bench issue could raise it's head again. I'm playing Sturridge & am expecting something out of him. So Given for me.
