B

I think both are very viable options but the difference is B will be unavailable after tonight's price rises.
Open ControlsVery possible. I'll wait a little more before pulling the trigger. Congrats on the rank BTW.

My frontline is:
Jelavic Ba RVP
who to get out of Suarez and Berba and who to sell or keep it as it is?Open Controlssame as mine.. same dilemma, but leaning towards the Bulgarian Best.

Morning lads, reckon it's worth making any changes to the below team this week? No MCY for their home game against Villa is a concern, but then their fixtures after that aren't too great.
I'm thinking about Santi -> Silva this week, with a view to getting Arsenal coverage back in GW15 when their fixtures turn good. Best from the below?
a) Santi -> Silva
b) Save the transfer
c) Something else
Jaask
Baines, Hughes, McCartney
Bale, Santi, Fellaini, Taarabt
RVP, Ba, Berbatov
Federici, Michu, Cuellar, Clyne
Bank 1.0m, 1 freebieOpen ControlsI plan to do a) this week, but will do it as late as possible (before Silva price rise, or Caz down)
Open Controls
Begovic
Baines Rafael Gorkss
Mata Cazorla Bale Michu
Berba RVP Ba
Foster Nelsen Davies Puncheon
2FT, 0 left in bank.
a)Cazorla->Fellaini, then might upgrade Michu to Walcott or Valencia
b)Baines->Shawcross, Michu->FellainiOpen Controls
hey guys, do you think tevez to suarez or pienaar to fellaini would be a better transfer this week?

Yay or Nay? Suggestion?Open Controls
Just mulling over a man called Baines
Have him and trying to evaluate his worth. Looking on the defensive side; if I wanted Everton defense I could have Jags for 1.5 less or one of the others for even less than that. Much better value out there than the Everton defense though so there's not much of an argument on the defensive side for Baines.
Evertons run of nice fixtures come clanking to an end after wk 13 and Baines will find himself much more on the backfoot until stoke in wk17. His crosses and ability to get forward will still be there but the returns are scrappy from him for the extra money at this point. That fact he's on pens gives him the pull to keep.
So, if Baines to a cheaper defender freeing 2M, the question is would the upgrade from someone like Michu to Silva be worth it to let go of Baines attacking pts. Think my answer would be YES.Open ControlsI think I'll be losing at least 1 of Baines/Fellaini after GW13/14. I might even lose both. Like you say, it's the difference between a Michu and a Mata/Bale/Silva
Open Controlsit would be Baines for me. Fellaini, on current form, could be the best FPL midfielder in the game this season
Open Controls
It's all a matter of personal preference really. The fact remains there is no-one in his league when it comes to defenders. He has absolutely everything.
He is on penalties
He has arguably the best assist potential in the league...almost certainly for a defender.
He scores goals from time to time because he gets so forward.
He never has a bad game.
He never goes a game where he isn't 100% involved in the attack.
He can get you 4 points for a CS
He is capable of a monster score if he scores/gets a CS/assists/gets Baps all in the same game.
He is a baps machine. He got 2 this weekend and he kept no Cs, he assisted none, he scored none. But he STILL got 2 Baps.Open ControlsOh and
He is on every set piece. Corners, free kicks etc.Open ControlsI understand that. It's why I had him in the first place. I talking about being able to get someone like Silva instead and just trying to weigh it up
Open Controls
He had all that last year but still wasn't a particularly good fantasy prospect
Open ControlsEverton are a better team than they were. He has benefited immensely. First half of last year they didn't have Pienaar, Jelavic. This year they have Mirallas and Fellaini playing in the hole. They are unstoppable!
Open ControlsAgreed. That's what makes him a good fantasy propect this year. Cheaper than last and is playing with horses ahead of him.
Open Controls
I think I will give Baines 2 weeks more. Else, I will transfer him out for cash and upgrade my midfield.
Open Controls
Just out of interest what's everyone current rank on here and what are you aiming for by the end of the season? This is my first season taking it a little more seriously and certainly my first season visiting this (or any) site. What should I be aiming for? Current rank is 13k, would like a sub 10k or maybe even 5k?
Open Controls
I'm 6k atm and hoping to get in the top 1k by the end of the season.
Open Controls
top 8k aiming for top 5k
Open Controls
57K now, top 1K would be peachy.
But I - as I would suggest for you - simply look to 'green arrow' each week. It's like rehab, son: one week at a time and the rest sorts itself.Open Controlsi know a bar where they give you free FPL points when you get out of rehab
Open Controls
16k after being 61k before the weekend
I just enjoy watching football and playing FPL. It pleases me muchos.Open Controls
Aiming for Top 500 by end of season....4257......this time last season i was around 50,000 at this stage....finished 4800
Open Controls
Thoughts on who to capt coming gw??
Berb, Suarez, Aguero, Silva or Fellaini?
Got Suarez (c) at the moment but after having Fellaini (c) last week, quite tempted to do so again.Open ControlsSuarez is your best bet..
but as a liverpool fan you'd be more pissed off if you captain suarez and he doesn't score, than if you captain Fellaini and he doesn't, u get me?Open Controls
Best midfielder for 4.8 or less?
I like Kacaniklic, but worried about game time.
Others in contention - Johnson (Nor), and Puncheon & Schneiderlin (Sou)
Again worried game time for Puncheon - is he likely to become regular?
Thoughts appreciated.Open Controlsi had kaca on my bench, and missed his 9 points.. =( yep, his gametime is somehow worrying, but he's an exposive kind of player, similar to HBA but not as skillful.. i'd be happy owning him for now, moreover with the possible unavaibility of richardson..
Open ControlsKaca is only under pressure from Richardson, montior his injury status. I reckon Kaca is nailed on until Richardson is heathly again.
Open Controls
okay, it comes down to these two routes only now..so which one?
a) santi > silva & jelly > berba (4pt hit) (no Everton att except for Baines)
b) santi > fellaini & jelly > suarez (4pt hit) (no City att except for LOLarov)Open Controls
Any suggestions would help I have 1 ft.

Hello DZ.....does anyone have a link to watch EPL highlights on line?
Open ControlsWho do you guys think is ready to go big in the coming weeks.
I reckon these guys are due: Silva, Kun, Michu, HBA, Walcott, Giroud, Bale, Ade,Open ControlsJust caved in and did Peanut to Afro... Sad to see Peanut go but Afro was too much to turn down.
Open ControlsHow's everyone doing this week?
I am not really pleased with my score,57, with the lack of Fellaini in my team.
Anyway, when's Demel coming back? West Ham defense looks really solid.Open Controls
really want suarez in my team whats the best way HELP!!
Schwarz/Federici
Ridgwell/Staylor/Baines/cameron/Nelson
Pienar/Nolan/Cazorla/Bale/Guthrie
Rvp/Tevez/berbsOpen Controls
If Tevez isn't involved again it would have to be him for Suarez. But watch Suarez is a risk due to his likely upcoming suspension
Open Controlsyeh but iam short 0.6 for him have to take sum1 else out
and if gets suspended ill just bring in BaOpen Controls
tevez > suarez & ridge > demel (check his rotation with your cerrent Def first).
Open Controls
Give Bale a last chance or get in Fellaini for Bale?
Open Controls
Cazorla and Lambert to fellaini and Ba -4?
Open Controls
I've done the Cazorla bit. I would do the Lambert move except then I have no idea who I'd bench. So I think I'm sticking.
Open ControlsWhat about the RVP/Rooney plan?? 😉
Open ControlsDiscarded before the deadline along with my other three plans this week, one of which was pienaar > Fellaini. Damn.
Open ControlsI'm glad someone has the sense to see Ba is worth buying and not selling.
Open ControlsHe's the only Newcastle player worth getting though far from ideal because frankly they're hoofball this year. Only getting him for a big slice of a modest goalscoring pie.
Suarez I sold a while ago and is on 4 yellows.Open Controls
Cheers, always start throwing out risky moves around price changes 😆
So know one of them will score this week.
Hopefully owners will be hasty with Ba and sell him, reducing his price so I can rush him in...Open Controls
berbatov or suarez?
Open ControlsBerbatov, by far the better player in a higher scoring team and he's cheaper.
Open Controls
I feel really bad for my PP cup opponent...he had Giroud, Berba and RVP up front this week and I still beat him by 2 points somehow.
That's 4 goals, 2 assists from his strikeforce alone. And I was 10+ behind yesterday thinking I was the one with the bad luck getting HIM!
Anyway, I hope I get a regular now in the next round! 😀Open ControlsGreatest forward line ever 😉
Open ControlsIt's a great forward line...I had Giroud at the start this year... 🙁 ironic that I'd come up against a cup opponent who had him and he'd choose that day to finally explode! 😀
Open Controls
the draw will be tomorrow or tuesday do ya think?
Open ControlsNo idea, never done it before.
Open Controls
Cheers, DeadZoners. I have stayed off the boards all day. Ducking behind the couch.
All in all, out of the cup, but green arrow nonetheless. Oh, and lost my patience with Ben Arfa so already did the straight swap to Fellaini.Open Controlsre-post to get views from different DZ folks
Ba to Berba for free? Comparison Tool says nothing much in it between the two players. NEW has better fixtures, but they are not playing too well at the moment. While FUL is scoring goals for fun, and Berb's price should rise, so there is profit to make.
Yay or nay?Open Controls
11 years, 5 months agoWhich is best?
A. Bale + Ba + Morrison
or
B. Silva + Suarez + Maloney
