Mainly utilised for his ball-winning abilities and dynamic displays in the heart of the Southampton midfield, Morgan Schneiderlin has been afforded a new lease of life since the January departure of Nigel Adkins. While his successful tackles and interceptions have been literally second to none in England’s top-flight this term, the Frenchman has recently added an extra element to his game and with three goals in his last six appearances, we cast an eye over his attacking performances under new Saints boss Mauricio Pochettino to decide whether his 18,000 new Fantasy Premier League (FPL) owners have themselves a bargain.
I reckon this week will be the season decider for most of us...

Is "us" everyone or just those in the top 300?

Ok, going to give Football Manager another go. Any tips for a noob like me?
Open Controls4-4-2 is the tactic of the future
Open ControlsSound.
Open Controls
Start in the lower divisions and work your way up. That's the most fun imo
Open ControlsYeah, started off with Rochdale.
Open ControlsMake sure to offload all the old players with high salaries. And make sure to get one "good" player in each position. One one good defender, one mid and one striker. Look at the free agents.
Open ControlsBut how can I tell if they're good or not? It's not like Fifa where you have ratings for each ability.
Open Controls
Yes you do, they are just different.
But you can go by the words of your scouts/coaches in most cases. See a decent ish player and get your scouts to prepare a report on them.Open ControlsOff course. It's ratings for everything. Finishing, dribbling, pace, stamina etc. If you're lazy though you could just google "Bargains lower divisions fm13" or something 🙂 Ps. make sure not to buy players with very low natural fitness - They will get injured all the time.

Barnet, eight season and I am in Europe. Tidy
Open Controls
Barnett in Europe, Is that for singing?
Open Controls
Yeah I wouldn't play it either, played it for about 4 weeks (restarted about 5 times) and never got any better no matter what I did, stupid/frustrating game
Open Controls
Check out 'Aid The Boss' and 'FM base' for tips on free agents, wonder kids, tactics etc. very good sites
Open Controls
I've been playing it since 2000.

Incase anyone hasn't seen it, here's part of a conversation @GeoffArsenal had earlier:
Geoff Arsenal @GeoffArsenal 1h
if you missed it earlier.
Jack won't make the Reading game but is doing well and expected to be available for WBA.
Theo out 2/3 weeks
-------
Brandon Ridgwell @BRidgwell 1h
@GeoffArsenal I'm gutted, my FantasyLeague Football app says there's a 75% of Theo playing on Sat

Geoff Arsenal @GeoffArsenal 41m
@BRidgwell drop him, lively.Open Controls- Open Controls
err...aren't you the one who always posts things from twitter?
Open Controls
Still not convinced.
Why's Geoff exclusively reported this, whilst none of the other reliable tweeters have said anything?
Will wait to hear it from Arsene himself.Open Controls
Final team after trades...
DDG
Baines, Dawson, Wilson.
Bale, Michu, Santi, Sessengone
RVP, Berbatov, Suarez
Subs. Bunn, Sissoko, Davies, Marriappa.Open Controls
2 frees to get that?
Open ControlsWould you sell Bentekkers to get Berba in?
Open ControlsIf you want him for the dgw, then may as well get him now I think unless you have more pressing issues to resolve?
Open ControlsI guess i need to decide if i want him for the double really. His form is very enticing but it would be no surprise to me if he went a few games now without scoring. Plus Bentekkers has been awfully good to me!
Open Controls
Needs more Aguero.. 😉
Open Controls
Done Theo to Santi? Cheers. Good move I think. And btw, Lukaku and Theo to Santo and berb for a hit?
Open ControlsDone, but I think I made a mistake as Theo will be back for WBA.
erm, for hit no.
Can you just do the first or bench theo?Open ControlsDo that, gives you a week to asses theo for dgw.
That's what I should have done - grrrrr.... !Open Controls
What makes you think Theo will be back for West Brom?
Open Controls
Thoughts on what to do with my team? 1 FT but nothing in bank.
Begovic
Samba/Martin/Wilson
Mata/Bale/Michu/Walcott
Rvp/Suarez/Benteke
Bunn Maloney Harte DaviesOpen Controls
chances of Jenkinson playing the next 3?
Open Controls
What are people using to see price rises and drops, now FISO doesn't seem to be working?
Open Controls- Open Controls
Open ControlsCheers,looks like I have to do Walcott to Cazorla
Open Controls
Mata to Caz and (c) caz or leave?don't have other obvious options to captain, bale or rooney i'm thinking.
Open ControlsBest diff for the run in... Aguero
Thank me later... 😉Open ControlsWho knows? Posted earlier may stick, may take 4 or even 8pt hit but Aguero stays..
Open Controls
Interesting that there is reports on a few Arsenal players but none on Sagna...I wonder is he nearing full fitness?
Open ControlsYeah, if he can regain his spot for WBA I'd fancy a piece of that, might go Fabianski alternatively
Open Controls
Not at all.
Chezzers is just having a break I think, dropping him completely would do no good.Open Controls
Better than playing him and potentially costing Arsenal 4th. He's been woeful most of the season and Fabianski's kept back to back clean sheets
Open ControlsYeah, it would seem strange to drop Fabianski now. Same can't be said for Jenks, GK's just don't really get rotated in the same way.
Open ControlsWell I hope you're right, after the decent defensive displays of late.
If it was up to me Szcz, Vermaelen and Sagna would remain on the bench for now.Open Controls
My front 8 is
Walcott Bale Michu Sess Siss
RVP Suarez Lambert
Have 4.9 in the bank and 2 FTs. Was thinking Sess to Santi but the Walcott rumours are making me think Walcott to Cazorla. Stick to the original plan and bench Walcott?Open Controls
Michu >
My Current MF: Bale, Walcott, Michu, Sissoko, Townsend
A. Hazard
B. Mata
C. Cazorla
D. Keep Michu
E. OtherOpen ControlsD
Open Controls
about to do ,
Walcott + sturridge for Cazorla + berbs ( Already have suarez )
nice?Open ControlsWhat?
Open Controls
Welcome back Santi
😎Open ControlsConsidering the same thing. For Cazorla I'd guess?
Open Controls
just done it myself, night all!
Open Controls
You're the best ronh.
Open Controls
FPL gives Walcott 75% chance of playing, so what is causing people to consider selling Walcott? Goal drought? Concern that injury will be more than a GW long injury?
Open ControlsNever trust FPL. They red-flagged Evans in last seasons GW. I sold him for a hit and he started the game.
Open Controls
Blame Ferguson, he said there was no chance of him playing. I benched him on that advice too, and missed a cleanie
Open Controls
Why don't they just do Tour de France indoors and then everyone could see the start and finish and nobody would get stuck in traffic jams
Open ControlsWould you rather play Sessegnon (mun) or take a hit to get Santi in for Walcott?
Open Controls
Here we go. Not done this in a long time. Hoping to keep within the top 5k and hopefully break back into the top 1k. Here is my team after my trades:
DDG
Baines / G.Johnson / Samba
Bale / Cazorla (c) / Walcott / Maloney
Rooney / Giroud (vc) / Berbarov
Bunn / Sissoko / Davies / Harte
£2.6m in the bank.Open ControlsGot the full amount of Arsenal coverage in already. I like.
