Having rolled out a Selection Guide to Goalkeepers earlier this afternoon, we now switch focus to the Members Projections for our search for the men between the sticks. While Joe Hart predictably sits out on top, we focus on value in this first Members article, examining those keepers who are expected to deliver the best points per million ratio for the season and the first six Gameweeks…

Houghton = Baines
3 goals so far from Left-Back including a free-kick.Open Controls-
Houghton who?
Open Controls -
That is nearly as many goals Ray Houghton got in his whole Ireland career 73 caps and he was a midfielder...

I have great suspicions that FFS was involved in advising the fpl on pricing. The more I look at potential options/variations of my team, the more I realise how cleverly the pricing system is this season.
Open Controls-
FPL are good like that every year. 'tis part of what makes it the best game around; painful decisions that need real thought. The game would be crap if you could just select everyone you wanted
Open Controls-
Fair point. In other fantasy games sky and ESPN there are players that are priced way off. Either way too cheap or way too expensive for their initial value.

Arsenal are closing in on the signing of Santi Cazorla who has agreed a 4 year deal with the club
Great signing. Anything less than 9m and he's in when their fixtures get better.Open Controls-
A wide attacking midfielder. Just what Arsenal were lacking...
Open Controls -
+loads - a much better alternative to Walcott.
Open Controls -
Really? I knew they were on the hunt but that'd be brilliant. Straight in. Reckon they'll go on the hunt for another player if/when VP leaves? Heard talk of Llorente, would be in my team in a flash if it were true.
Open Controls-
I thought for a minute there you were saying that arsenal were after Stephen Hunt.... 🙂

If Kagawa is 8.5 i can't see Cazorla being any more than that
Open Controls -
Is that a reliable source?
Open Controls -
Hopefully he starts the season like Arshavin did when he joined Arsenal. It would make the season interesting.
Open Controls-
Just as long as his next season isn't as poor.

I am certain about my midfielders and forwards, but still can't decide about GKs and defenders. For now, I got stuck with 3 versions of GK/DEFs combination. Could you help me with picking THE one 😉
(A)
Friedel - Federici
Ivanovic - Zabaleta - Rafael - Demel - Clyne
(B)
DDG - Federici
Ivanovic - Zabaleta - Cuellar - Wilson - Demel
(C)
Jaaskelainen - Begovic
Ivanovic - Zabaleta - Rafael - Hangeland - ClyneOpen Controls -
my team
Fred, Jussi
Cole, hangerland, Fabio, Cuellar, Cylne
Hazard, Yaya, Pienaar, Noble, Beausejour
Torres, Cisse, Aguero
Worried about raising 2 mil for torres - > rooney for gw 2 :SOpen Controls-
Cisse to Ba given they'll both be playing the same position in a 4-4-2.

Home opener to Southampton. Carlos will make a mockery of 9m tag

If he gets a regular spot, I agreed.

I am doing a wait and see on Tevez the charity shield (or whatever it is called these days) should give a far clearer indication.

Evening lads. So Batman was fecking awesome.
Seen Pienaar move has gone through, have I missed owt else?Open Controls -
Just thinking aloud here....I'm not a member yet (Have been for three years)...waiting to get paid...
But I feel its a bit odd that anybody with the Internet could access this site and read that whole article about GK rotation. Would it not be better to make these kind of things members only??
As they guy on the previous page said "My Nan could come top 30k just by reading these articles"!!Open Controls-
In fairness, anyone with a brain, a calculator, and last year's stats could do the same analysis as that article.
Open Controls-
But most people couldnt be bothered
I mean we all did and basically did all this working out before, but now its out there for all to seeOpen Controls

In fairness Luck is factored a lot into this game. Unless your a mathematical genius and can number crunch the stats and make projections, I doubt you would finish extremely high.
A lot of people on here only finish in the top 100k-200kish. Mainly because they allow thier biases to influence their decisions.
But I do agree it is a lot of good info for free. But FFS kinda like the NHS people need their Fantasy health looked after regardless of their level of income.

Both defences cost the same, but which one is better?
De Gea Federichi
Ivanovic S.Taylor Cueller Hangaland Rangel
or
Friedel Federichi
Ivanovic Lescott Rafael Demel ClyneOpen Controls-
Without studying much you have to have City cover
Open Controls -
first one but with lescot in place of ivanovic after the dgw
Open Controls -
Top one all day long!
6 solid defences, rotate to accommodate fixtures Vs 4 solid defences including 2/3 rotation risks
*Ivan > Cole as annoying as it is because if Chelsea sign a RB after season has started you dont want to waste a transfer at the back.Open Controls-
Ps that is a lot of money to be spending on defence
Open Controls-
26.5, not too bad. Can't see many midfielders around the 7-8 mark so unless you are having the big 3 upfront, there is a fair bit of money left over.

Yeah i guess. Pretty happy with the rest of the team though:

Is it a bad move having de Gea in net? Rotating two cheaper ones is better, right? I reckon Rob Green might not be a bad shout... Hughes will keep things tight at the back for QPR.
Open Controls-
De Gea is cheap....ish
p.s. I had Kenny a lot last season. QPR are mehOpen Controls -
Nice grav 😉
1 big/1 cheap vs. 2 cheap rotators ... one of the oldest questions on here. Check the article previous to this one. Spoiler alert: either one can work, but the big/cheap doesn't require correct guessing each week.Open Controls -
its either green/davies for a cheap choice or ddg/davies for a more expensive but more promising combination. looking at the fixtures i think the latter rotate almost perfectly in terms of when utd have hard fixtures, southampton have "easier" ones
Open Controls -
DDG is a good keeper choice imo Darbs

Hell. Yes. Santi. Get in there, you beauty (so my name will at last be appropriate!).

What do you think of this ?
Friedel - Federici
Cole - Coloccini - Williams - Fabio - Clyne
Noble - Yaya - Taarabt - Bale - Hazard
Tevez - Ba - TorresOpen Controls -
Evening chaps - what changes would you make to this?
Friedel | Green
Haangeland | Fabio | Cuella | Gorkss | McCartney
Hazard | Demps | Bale | Lampard | Noble
Torres | Ade | Graham
£0 in bank.Open Controls-
Ade might not be in the game
Open Controls -
Ade is not done
Id like 1 big hitter in defence
Lampard and Hazard?Open Controls-
Yeah, am a little concerned about the defence but may stay strong with the budget tactic.
Only got Lamps as well because of the DGW - keep swapping him with Yaya but Fatty's got the spot at the mo. If i 'downgrade' to Yaya i might bolster the defence - or swap Ade out (if he don't stay at Spurs) for Aguero.Open Controls

I am staying away form lampard, playing to deep to justify 9m
demps? looks like he's leaving so staying away
I like are if he moves to tthOpen Controls-
Yeah, but he's on pens and still pops up in the and the around the box a bit.
Dropping Demps if he moves from Fulham - but while he's still there he gets the nod.
Presume you mean ade (not are)? If so, definitely - at £9m he's a steal.Open Controls

A or B?

He's playing for Brazil at the Olympics too so I can't see him playing many minutes at the start of the season. I'm taking a wait and see approach for the entire Chelsea midfield, and going for Torres and two defenders.

No mention for Al-Habsi in this article?? Disgrace. Yes I know he plays for Wigan, saves + peno saves, simples
Open Controls-
Spoke about him earlier....those 4 pen saves distorted his total last year and the odds on him repeating that are obviously against him. With Boyce pushed forward at wing-back at the same price and Alcaraz 0.5 cheaper, I just don't see Al Habsi presenting value.
Open Controls-
hmmm, interesting. I kinda led the Al-Habsi bandwagon on here. Don't fancy either Green or Migs as i need to double up. Foster interests me, but the cheap rotations just don't. Not prepared to go over 9.5 on keepers
Open Controls-
The problem with Habsi and his pen saves is that if he does get any, they will most likely come in games that you won't play him in anyway, presuming you're rotating.

My first RMT... (the usual '2M spare for Tevez to Rooney GW2')
de Gea | Federici
Lescott | Ivanovic | Cuellar | Jenkinson | Williamson
Hazard | VDV | Nolan | Ireland | Sinclair
Torres | Tevez | Pogrebnyak
Any glaring errors?Open Controls -
Why isn't anyone talking about Zabaleta as a way to save 0.5 and get Man City defense? He's more nailed on than Clichy for the first 3-4 games of the season given that Richards' Olympics participation.
Plus he was pretty influential at the tail end of last season and even bagged a couple of goals.Open Controls-
as much as i like zab as a player, i wouldnt touch either with a ten foot clown pole

Hey guys what's peoples thoughts on my team?
DeGea / (Jaaskelainen)
Lescott / Vidic / A.Cole (Tompkins) (Fabio)
Hazard(v) / Yaya / Noble / Dyer (Britton)
Aguero Torres(c) Graham
No £ left at all, any feedback and comments would be great, I can't promise I'll listen or agree but would appreciate any feedback 🙂Open Controls -
Can any City fan tell me how nailed on Richards is?
And can any United fan tell me how nailed on Rafael is?
Only taking into account the 1st few weeks here.Open Controls-
Vidic and Evans are struggling at the mo. Ferdinand was charged by the FA, so I would say the chances of Rafael playing in the first few weeks is high.
Open Controls-
Yeah I noticed Vidic was 75% but figured there was still time for him to recover. Guess if I get Rafael that would give me money in the bank to swap Torres for Rooney in GW3 aside from that anything else need tweaking?

both at olympics, wouldnt consider either for WK1 while their still involved
