A successful 2011/12 promotion campaign saw Southampton rack up the goals as Nigel Adkinsβ side finished second in the npower Championship. Having found the net 85 times last term, the Saints immediately placed Fantasy managers on alert and on the lookout for new blood for their squads. The most obvious and popular pick was Rickie Lambert who notched 25 goals in the Championship, while Adam Lallana and new arrivals Jay Rodriguez and later Gaston Ramirez have also been touted as potential Fantasy options. Even Morgan Schneiderlin – who had just two goals in almost 150 appearances coming into the season – has received some attention after his goal against Man United in Gameweek three.
This was looking like a poor week before the Berba news.
I may just log off for a week and see what damage can be repaired then.
I don't want to get caught up in taking hits and spoiling my team for a week or two of red arrows.Open Controls
what was your transfer this week?
Open Controls
just seen it π― .. i knew there was a reason i always wait till friday for transfers. price rises be damned
Open Controls
Hope that Dyer shout is good enough to cover the loss for you!
Open Controlsdont have berba.. just sayin. ppl chase price rises and risk these unexpected injuries.. Keppin dyer though thanks to you π
Open Controls
No pity for you as A) you are 100,000 ranks above me and B) Your team really doesn't look that bad. I think you'll be fine, but yeah, possibly a rough week π Who did you use your transfer on?
Open ControlsSorry RD see above answer to Fergie's Fledgling.
Open Controls
What's the news on Berba? Is he injured? o.O
Open ControlsJol says he's out for this game.
Open Controls
Damn, so tempted to do Berb->Ba for a 4 point hit even though I just brought the bulgarian in! Must resist though! π
Open Controlswho is she?
Open Controls
Getting rid of Graham and Cabaye this week, it has to happen
Have put flecther in for graham, leaving me 6.6 for cabayes replacement, any ideas?
OR should i choose someone other then fletch, if i get that extra 0.1 i could afford pienaar?Open Controlsanother tempting option is Graham -> ba and then cabaye -> 6.0 player?
Open Controls
Can you do Graham & Cabaye --> Lambert and Ben Arfa or not?
Open ControlsThanks guys, no hec087 , cant afford that.
so basically it boils down to
1.Fletcher and Nolan
2. Ba and Dyer
3. Lambert and Pienaar
Im leaning towards three at the moment..
thoughts?Open ControlsFletcher and Ramirez could be another option?
I think 3 wins if you don't have Fellaini.Open ControlsI like ramires, but i think oscar will get more and more games as the season progresses (not sure if they are the exact same positions but it cant be good anyway)
Sterling is a great idea for his price!! i Want him too now ha , i might wait till next week on him and get rid of guthrie!
I think il pull the trigger on 3.
Thanks for your council guys!
Heroes!Open Controls
3 looks best to me,short and mid term.
Open Controls
I have no everton coverage so Tevez -> Jelly is the best transfer right?
I like Jelavic, probably not going ot go mental like Berbs could but he is consistently up there and Everton are in good form, playing with confidence.Open Controlsyup, I'm talking long-term. What transfer have you done, beergut?
Open Controls
What a shot by Rory, wow!!
Open Controls
what has happened to berbs?
Open Controls- Open Controls
that has ruined my day. just brought him in for an hit. Shaun Maloney time to step up!!!!!
Open Controls
puncheon + sterling = near perfect fixture rotation. Leaving a lorra lorra money to go wild with
Tempting!Open Controls
Wow. I'm so glad I held off on my supposed Tevez > Berbatov trade!
Open Controls
Anyone think Silva may drop 0.1m to 9.5m by next weeks deadline?
Open Controls
This is my current team:
Federici Foster
Rangel Ivanovic Demel Hangeland Clyne
Yaya Toure Bale Michu Ben Arfa Pienaar
Tevez Berbatov Torres
1.3m in bank. 1 FT.
Im thinking of taking a 4 point hit for Hangeland and Torres to Baines and Podolski.
Or Michu to Fellaini for free.
Which transfers would you make?Open Controls
So my remaining decisions for this GW:
Start: Cech or Jaask
Start: Michu, Maloney, J Olsson or Gorkss
Currently have Cech and Michu, any objections?Open Controls
Ok fellow FFS'ers. Time for a sanity check of my team for GW6:
Begovic (Foster)
Baines Nelson Cuellar (McAuley Demel)
Hazard Cazorla Fellaini HBA (Guthrie)
RVP Tevez Fletcher
Captain choice: Thinking Fletcher/Fellaini for flair, or RVP for comfort....?
Do I use my 1FT? Was thinking of Tevez -> Berbs, but now that's off thinking of holding onto it.
Appreciate yours thoughts. Cheers.Open ControlsOk, my team gets no responses.
I'm gonna see this as a "glass half full" scenario, in that you are all stunned by its readiness for this weekend. πOpen Controls
is this puncheon the perfect replacement for Kaca?
Open ControlsNot so sure, for me he's been puncheon above his weight this season!
Ba-dum-tish. I thank you. πOpen Controls
wow berbatov injury come as a complete shock, was going to do 4pt hit to bring in baines with berba part of the deal. Lucky I didn't go ahead with it.
Open Controlshas moyes spoken?
I am itching to put jelavic in my ever changing wildcard team
God I love wildcards! I will just need to erase from my memory the names of all the players I *nearly* put in the team
shudderOpen ControlsMoyes spoke and said nout about Jelly, but Anichebe is a small doubt and Jelly scored the only goal in the friendly training game today so he has a good chance to start
Open Controlsnice one
references to friendly training games are possibly scraping the barrel though hahaOpen Controls
“Unfortunately Dimitar is injured now and can’t play on Saturday so that is the disappointing thing,” Jol told the gathered media. “He will be out for the next two weeks.
So Berb out for 2 weeks confirmed.Open Controlscould be more then that based on the lack of info
Open Controls
@FFScout
Jol confirms Berbatov has hip and thigh problems and will be out for two weeks
http://goo.gl/Hs1XgOpen Controlswoah so misses southampton game too. Fulham be weaker side without him.
Open ControlsThey'll still have Rodallega, Ruiz, Petric(?) though.
Open Controls
π Maybe
Sell, sell, sell ..Open Controls
Weird injury that π
Open ControlsNothing like tooth problem though π
Open Controls
How is this for a transfer plan over the next 3 GWs?
7- Hazard > Fellaini
8- Maloney > Nolan
9- Graham > Ba
Also, is 3 Everton players a bit much?Open Controls
Tevez to the handsome kun free tranny?
Open Controls
What the heck has happened to the starlet Hazard? 2 returns of 2 i believe in his last 2
ahhhhhhhhhOpen Controls
As everybody should have known, he is a very inconsistent player. Although the goals scored would seem not, he was very hit and miss in Ligue 1 too a lot of the time. Don't expect 10+ scores week in, week out from him in my opinion, although he will clearly score big sometimes.

Hmmm two weeks. What do do....Open Controls
Berbatov news has made my day FPL wise!
Open ControlsDoes anyone else want to make a comment on how they almost put Berbatov in?
Open Controls
Defoe as a 2 week filler for Berbatov? I'm on my WC.
Open Controls
On a WC, what to do with Berbs? Current front line of RVP Fletcher and Berbs with 3.3 in the bank. So, keep Berbs and bench him or replace?
