Yesterday, we rolled out the first in a two-part series of Members articles focussing on team stats over the first three Gameweeks so far. Having assessed the performances from an attacking perspective, we turn our attentions to the men at the back, analysing a variety of key performance statistics from a defensive point of view:
Thoughts on my CL team??
Sirigu
Rafael Gibbs Ramos
Pirlo Santi Hazard Boateng
Messi Ibra Pazzini
Subs: Beto Vida Demichelis Tomas
cheersOpen Controls
I like it. Not sure about Ramos's value in such a hard group though. 8/10
Open Controls
I'm a crazy man with big ambitions! RVP will take me all the way!
Sirigu
Silva/Alba/Vermaelen
Hazard/Cazorla/Robben/Di Maria/Nasri
VP/Hulk
Whadya think? Is Pato nailed on!? If so I'll take Pato + Valencia instead of Di Maria and Nasri!Open ControlsYou want to have good substitutes
Open ControlsRead the rules about manager substituions. You can take players out after the tuesday games and put subs in who play on wednesday.
Open ControlsNo worries
Open ControlsPlayers who are substituted out will score 0 points, the captain bonus will be lost from your original captain if a new captain is selected. Substitutions and captain changes can't be cancelled once confirmed.
I'm confused, doesn't that mean rubbish subs are ok still?Open Controls
cuz yer dumbz
Open Controls
5/10
Open Controls
so you're ignoring the only player to score FIVE goals in a CL game EVER who also set the record for the most goals in a season is on pk's and in one of the best teams in the world, the second best player in the world, and ibra who is class and in an easy group... gl with that
Open Controls
not yet but this might give u a rough idea??

I'll have a guess...
-------------------Friedel---------------------
--Walker---Gallas--Vertonghen---BAE--
-------------Sandro---Dembele------------
-----------------Sigurdsson------------------
--Lennon------Adebayor-----------Bale--Open ControlsPossibly instead of Sigurdsson or Lennon but I dont think so yet.
Open Controls
Which front 7??
A.) Santi Hazard Pirlo Ozil Schweinsteiger
Messi Pazzini
or
B.) Santi Hazard Pirlo Scheinstegier
Messi Ibra Pazzini

As if Aston Villa weren't struggling enough.Open Controlsand Gary Neville makes a comeback....for Everton!
Open Controls
Need some help please:
Yaya , Piennar, or Ben Arfa?Open Controls
Pienaar > Ben > Yaya
Open Controls
I have gone for Ben Arfa, a bit of a differential in my ML - almost everyone else has Yaya. After the away game at Everton, he has two good fixtures so I'm hoping for a good little run in points and value.
Open Controlshba and pienaar, take your pick. if you have baines then maybe go hba. i've got both as I think they should both do well
Open ControlsI've also gone Baines and HBA, cheers TW.
Open Controls
Ibra or Ronaldo??
Pazzini, Mandzukic or Martinez???
Pick 4. Hazard, Santi, Pirlo, Boateng, Shirokov, Schweinstegier , Xavi, Ribbery, Robben, Ozil and Di Maria
cheersOpen ControlsEasily Ronaldo for the first choice
Open Controlsi've been leaning towards ronaldo but now closely considering ibra. ronaldo a better player and can score on anyone (plus pens and great fk's) but has a harder group and ibra is also class (though not nearly as threatening or fast) and in a far easier group, really a tough choice
not sure...
remember that you have recovered balls so defensive players could be good too. boateng, shirokov, schweiny, robben, di maria. i know thats five but pick 4 from there
i'd say xavi but your two barca players should surely be messi and alba!Open Controlsthey may be pretty expensive but I think they will be great value!
This is how I see them in a fantasy sense:
messi is basically a way better (and now cheaper) version of fpl's rvp and alba is a better and cheaper version of fpl's baines! (though alba has no fk's or pens but gets forward a lot and should keep more cleanies)Open Controls
Even though Ronaldo has a tougher group, he will go on and score goals... CS may be rare in his group but there will be plenty of goals... Look at the way he and Messi have started, just like the way they left off last season... They will again compete to score the most number of goals in La Liga and beyond... So I would go for Ronaldo...
But I have also gone for Ibra and sacrificed for a low priced defense...Open Controls
If Fellaini leaves who do people reckon he will join??
Open ControlsNo Price Rise Today.
Possible Price Fallers- G Johnson, Hilario.Open ControlsGlenn Johnson had a great game offensively against Moldova. He is on my watchlist.
Open Controlswow. there were never this few price changes during international breaks last year! but i guess we've been having so many rises and drops during normal gw's...
Open Controls
tevez, hazard, michu should all rise before the end of the week, I reckon. But yes a quite international break.
Suprised to see Baines being transfered out by people?Open Controlsok good cuz I own them all :D. yeahhh its an extremely quite international break. i'm glad as I was worried i'd miss out on a buncha price rises because I wasn't going to wc since i'm generally happy with my team
he's being transferred out!!?? what? that's insane! hopefully he wont drop... as long as he doesn't i'm glad their transfering him out so when he gets a monster score he'll be more of a differential for me 😀Open Controls
Man City, United, Chelsea, Arsenal all Saturday 3pm kick-offs 😯
Open Controlsyay! Might stay home this Sat night with a few snacks!
Open Controls
1. when will szczesny be back? wanting to get him in for ddg
2. looking to replace fabio sooo:
a. who will naylor's replacement be?
b. him or demel?Open Controls1. He will be back for this week but there is a big fight with him and Mannone for #1.
2a. Davies
2b i would go Demel because of taylor and chico out there defence will be shakyOpen Controls1. you think so? will he start this week then?
2a. okay thanks
2b. okay that makes sense. thanks. I have 1 or 2 weeks (at least) until I make the transfer so I can afford to wait and see. how long is chico out?Open Controls
1. this week
2.cuellar/figueroa/hughes
3.dunno and demelOpen Controls
In fantasy CL what is everyones mids?? Need some ideas? If you post your full team i will comment and give you advice!
thanks guysOpen Controlsummm lets see...
fahrmann, paulo lopes
daniel alves, lombaerts, inan, denswil, koppers
kaka, toure, viera ramos, djamal, biglia
moses, djebbour, hoarau
what do you think?Open Controls😀
did you really someone could come up with a team THAT bad? only players i'd even think about having would be alves and yaya toure unless there's some cheap players in there that are good that i don't know about yet...
wanted to get signed up and have a team so i can joint ML's and stuff like that but haven't had the time or patience to be arsed to actually set up my team yet. messi and alba are the first names on my teamsheet and then one (if not both) of ronaldo/ibra but after that i honestly have no clueOpen Controls
Busquets Pirlo Hazard Alan Shirokov
Open Controls
Price Changes-
Rise- None
Fall- Hilario, G JohnsonOpen Controls
Will Gibbs rise before next GW?
Open Controls
Looking at that ass he will 😉
Open Controls
Sorry kind of a repost but this is doing my head in!
Pick 1 from each bracket. (Ibra, Ronaldo) (Robben, Ozil,Di Maria) (Schweiny, Pirlo, Shirokov) (Pazzini,Mandzukic) (Abate, Ramos, Vidal)
thanksOpen Controls
Malafeev - Beto
Jenkinson -- Alex -- Sergio Ramos -- Dani Alves -- Evra
Hazard -- Pirlo -- Cazorla -- Carrasco -- Miguel Velosso
Messi -- Pazzini -- RVP
Is alex a starter at psg? And who would be a good 4.0 option at midfield ? thanks in advanceOpen Controls
Krul, Jaaskelainen
Clyne,McCartney, Baines,coloccini, shawcross
Michu, Fellani, dyer, hazard, toure,
Tevez, torres, Ba
i was thinking to get rid of coloccini for reid from west Ham is that a good idea any reply are really helpful as this is my first year in fantasy premier leagueOpen Controls
I don't think so. You already have West Ham defensive coverage in Jaask so Reid would be pointless, especially if you have 4.5 to spend.. in that price range I could go for Cuellar
Open Controlsi only play 3 defenders tho and reid can score huge
Open ControlsHe won't do that again, he's not a goal threat generally. That goal was a one off, the only reason he's rising in price is because casual players just tend to bring in players that do well during one GW. You might as well have Demel for 4.1 if you want a West Ham defender but as I said, you're better off having a defender from a different team.
Open Controls
? - see reasoning above
robben or di maria (if you get ronaldo then surely go robben otherwise either or - if you can get both that'd be better)
schweiny. (or shirokov if you get robben)
?
?Open Controls
Time for a discussion for those interested;
Which players do you believe are most undervalued player in FPL this year and why?
I'll kick off with Kaspar Gorkss - Yes he plays for Reading but he's scored more than 35 career goals and has averaged about 1 in 12 throughout. That's a better ratio than Baines and Terry. Admittedly most goals have come at a lower league level but, he scored 4 in 12 international appearances for Latvia. At 3.9m, that's not bad.Open ControlsGuthie 4.4- scored already and on some penos and FK's.
Open ControlsGuthrie definitely has potential - especially if Reading stay 4411 with him in the hole
Open Controls
I say Tevez
Open Controls
Dyer at a starting price of 5.5 looks to be a real bargin if current form continues.
Open Controls
Anyone else think the presence of Kieran Richardson on the LW for Fulham increases Riise's attacking potential?
Open ControlsCuellar, Demel, Figueroa and Wilson imo. I like Gorkss too as I think he has a goal threat and is only 3.9.
Some good options at 5m like Boyce, Shawcross, S TaylorOpen ControlsYeah I've been looking pretty closely at Ridgewell. I think he's a solid option and offers some threat going forward. Some thing Popov might challenge him for game time though.
Open Controls
Go to bed everyone
Open ControlsWillis Hide was reported by me for being an idiot
Open Controls
Select 3 to play out of these lot for GW4:
a) Saylor
b) Zabaletta
c) Demel
d) Rangel
My initial thought is b,c, d given Krul & Simps are injured?
ThanksOpen Controls
I agree with your initial thought. Is there any news on Demel's knock from last week?
Open Controls
yaya toure or ben arfa for the next few gameweeks?
