This evening we roll out the final article in our three-part series assessing the stand-out attacking statistics over the first three Gameweeks. Having cast our analytical eye over the Defenders and Midfielders, we turn our attentions up front.
I had already brought in Hernandez and Tekkers for -4
I have Silva, Clyne and Sturridge...
Time to WC?Open ControlsTime to learn a few lessons about early transfers.
Open Controls
Bringing in RVP with wildcard but Brady RVP
is about the same pricr as
Sturridge Ozil
just dosent seem rightOpen ControlsWhy was my comment removed? *And subsequently this one too*
Open ControlsBecause you were making a joke about couplings with an underage preson and it was offending other people. I know it was just a joke but it was in pretty poor taste so had to go.

On a WC,
Michu vs Walcott?
Going with Theo would mean doubling up on Arsenal with Giroud, which doesn't look bad, even though they have 4 away games in the next 6. Michu's short term fixtures don't look so good, but after Arsenal, his fixtures take a turn.
Would you rather spread? Or double on Arsenal?Open ControlsLambert instead then? The only thing that's making me have him in the team is the midfield behind him. And he must be nailed on, looks to be finishing well (at least for now). At 8.7, I think he could prove to be great value.
Open ControlsDon't get rid of Giroud. Very good striker. Started his first season at every club slowly, and then scored 20+ in every subsequent season. Add to that he is the central figure of a top club who always score goals, with the addition of on of the best assisters in the world, with some of the best fixtures in the next 10 under the tutelage of one of the best managers in the world. Get Giroud.
Open ControlsThanks for the reply. It does look like he'll end up with 15-20 goals this season in the league with his confidence. And I do have him currently, I'm a fan of Walcott tbh, so I might just double up. No issues there I think. But yeah, I am aware that I might get a game or 2 where they'll both frustrate..
Open ControlsI think he will be looking at 20+ in the league to be honest mate. I have absolutely no fear or hesitation about getting both Walcott and Giroud.
Open Controls
spread
Open ControlsI'd double on Arsenal. It's tempting to triple actually.

@SHERIFPIERO
responded to your RMT request on prior page. happy to discuss further. you need a serious re-work.Open Controlsyes. i've heard that one before. for some reason, i'm not worried after 3 games about my rank. a bit more concerned about my rank in may then september.
Open ControlsOne does affect the other. Top 10k is easily achievable if you get your head down 🙂
Open Controlscombined ill-advised punts with Koscielny for week 1. took a bunch of hits to fix team and grab on bandwagons early first few weeks. should be okay from here depending on how well i manage with two kids in diapers.
still a bit wiggly on making no transfers over int'l break, but standing firm to have 2 in my pocket after GW5 to review the Suarez option.Open Controlsas for that goal, we shall see. trying to improve one week at a time.

(Lost on the bottom of last page)
Who gives a feck about what level you're on? The main thing I care about is dominating FPL.
Feck your levels motherfeckers.Open ControlsAgreed. Don't get all the fuss
80k and climbing..Open ControlsWhy did you feel the need to repost it?
Open ControlsPost ended up bottom of the page - and I so desperately need everyone to see it so can fulfill my life's ambition and move up levels.
Open Controls
It must have been, I'm not a level 2 yet.
Open Controls
I think he wants someone to tell him to go feck himslef for being so fecking repetitive.
😉
aggressive little feck.Open ControlsI see why you've got sand in your vajayjay. You're 1 of those useless fecks I was talking about when I said, "Not to brown nose or write posts the size of the bible in an effort to gain an imaginary achievement that has absolutely no value or meaning in the real world" in the previous page.
I bet you're going to cream yourself when you eventually get that shit*ty little 2 next to your name.
You feck.Open Controlshaha, Jayden which side do you support?
I guessed it was the useful FPL contributions you were aiming that one at so i took it as the compliment i knew it was meant to be.
don't know where you get the 'number 2' bit from, the rank thing ain't for me. The real-world irrelevant stats, though, they give me the man-tent. Love it.Open ControlsDon't, they're all greedy bar-stewards, the game has become so disconnected from 'the man in the street' that I can't pledge my allegiance to anyone.
Sure, it was a compliment - lets make up and be best friends!
Really? Are you sure it doesn't make you twitch just a little thinking about that little number 2 next to your name?Open Controlsnot in the slightest. should i see a doctor?
You should join us Villa supporters. We used to be immoral spenders but Lerner has seen the light and brought in Lambert to save us. Now we have a dedicated, hard working young side, with fire in the belly. It's a beautiful thing.
Of course, they still get paid a metric sh!t-tonne, so maybe not...Open ControlsMaybe there's hope for yet then.
I rate Lambert and I like the way he is going about the job at Villa. If he can keep hold of his best players they will be a solid top-half team soon enough.Open Controls
Just saw the latest episode of Breaking Bad...
Holy shiet, does Vince Gilligan like a cliffhanger or what?!Open ControlsYeah, my god, it isn't fair to keep us waiting a week for this shiet
Open ControlsI don't think I will be able to take it
Open Controls***SPOILER ALERT*****
.....
.....
.....
I was pretty confused as to what the hell was going on at the end of that episode to be honest. How did so many people shooting at Hank manage to miss? And why were they shooting directly into the car Walt was sitting in?Open Controls
Parm, please remove the smiley form the username. It makes every comment of yours seem sarcastic
And annoyingOpen ControlsI need criticism on my UCL team.
Courtois, Artur
Alaba, Marcelo, Piszczek, Mangala, Ambrose
Hamsik, Matuidi, Vidal, Bernard, Bruno
Messi, Ronaldo Villa
Note: I know nothing about UCL! 😀Open ControlsI like that strikeforce
Open Controlsit's a good team, i think marcelo is out for 3 weeks.
Open ControlsPiszczek is injured transfer him to Maxwell or Lichtsteiner
Bernard > Josue
Other than that it's okayOpen ControlsMarcelo picked up an injury on international duty. will he be ready for the CL debut?
Vidal is a steal. A must IMO.
midfield doesn't look strong but its a messi-ronaldo team so I guess is justifiedOpen ControlsYou think Vidal is a must have like last season?This season he is a 8.5 mid and Juve have Tevez and Llorente now.
Open ControlsStill the price is pretty good for a top club midfielder. He started this season in top form, looks very aggressive. 2 goals in 2 games so far in Italy.
Their group looks decent also. (besides Real Madrid, and even they haven't found top form with the new manager)Open Controls
GW4:
Boruc
Zabaleta - Vidic - Coleman
Hazard - Hernandez - HBA - Walcott
Benteke (c) - Soldado (v) - Sturridge
Mignolet - JWP - Chester - Collins
Everything in order?Open ControlsLooks good. Big points for you this weekend.
Open Controls
You need to make at least 2 spreadsheets, didn't you read the guidelines 😯 ?
Open ControlsI'm kidding. Listen to 4vets
And NateOpen Controls
To be honest, the rep levels were overdue some love. The system was still using default levels used when we had downvotes and the removal of downvotes has caused some knock-on bugs I need to look at with Ed. I'll get on this tonight and tomorrow.
In general though, discussion of rep and upvoting is not encouraged - rep badges are now a minor feature and folk should not get concern themselves, particularly when the system is a tad buggy.Like I say, I'll get those sorted. Locking this up now.Open Controls
doesn't matter
Fellaini will not be the goal-scoring machine he was at Everton againOpen Controls
Some people saved lives today....
Open ControlsLads, when Marcelo's back will he even start over Coentrao, debating whether to get Marcelo for UCL fantasy.
Open ControlsWhy is Özil still on 10.0? Surely he's had enough transfer for a price raise soon?
Open Controlshe is still protected
Open ControlsSo tired of hearing this being asked CAUSE HE'S PROTECTED UNTIL THE FIRST GAME HE'S ACTIVE FROM
Open ControlsRelax, not everyone is as knowledgeable as you..
Open ControlsYeah that's very rare 😎
Open ControlsPeople keep asking because people keep putting different answers. Three different answers have been stated in this thread 7 - 10 days, 8 days and until the first game he's active from. I'll guess I'll know better over the next few days
Open Controls
His price is protected for the first 7-10 days
Open Controls
UCL RMT
Courtois
Alaba,Lichtsteiner,Mangala
Oscar,Mkhitaryan,Kaka,josue
Messi,Ronaldo,Cavani
Bench-3m,Bruno,Ambrose,OrtlechnerOpen ControlsNot bad, not bad for an expensive strikeforce. May I ask how much Kaka costs? Could be better options for the price if it's what I'm thinking it'll be.
Open ControlsIn the UCL game, it makes sense to have a strong bench because you can make manager substitutions during each gameweek. Your bench kind of stinks.
Open ControlsI trust my playing eleven to do the business.
Open Controls
First one of these of the season.
A) Michu > Ozil
B) Snodgrass > HBA
C) Mirallas > EriksenOpen ControlsB IMO
HBA is serious flair
But in all honesty, Theo offers better value than Ozil and Michu is Michu. Although I've lost faith in Mirallas, how sure are we on Eriksen?
HBA is nailed on, by far Newcastle's biggest attacking threat and has set-pieces and penosOpen ControlsAlready have Theo. Not that sure on Eriksen really and happy enough with Soldado having read this article.
Open ControlsThen I would definitely take B
IF I were to double on Arsenal I'd take Theo and Giroud, but shirley 2x Arsenal is sacrilege round your parts?Open ControlsI'd captain Hitler if he was playing up front for Arsenal whilst playing Spurs in a title decider if I thought he'd get me more points.
Then be happy when Adolf missed his penalty.Open Controls
I'm really glad I played my WC after GW1. The international break really hasn't brought about the number of transfers that most of us expected. Only 1 person above 90% on FPL as I write and not many rises so far this week: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/stats/elements/?element_filter=0&stat_filter=cost_change_event bar Giroud.
On a separate note I'm concerned regarding Silva, doubt he will be risked against a "physical" Stoke side...Open ControlsThe fact your happy playing your wc in gw1 means either, your initial team was terrible/2 you don't understand the game 😉
Open ControlsIt wasn't perfect but I also gained a few million in value which will help switch players throughout the season. I'm not entirely sure what "you don't understand the game" would refer to as it's rather vague comment. I understand the game is to pick players to score the most points. I also know that it meant I could win 2 of the leagues I was in to get a bit of early cash back so a fairly decent start with a way to go until Jan's WC.
Open Controls
Quick poll - % chance of starting vs Norwich
A: Eriksen
B: LamelaOpen ControlsJust read a tweet from an unofficial West Ham twitter page that Carroll was seen leaving the training ground today on crutches and got injured during training... If this is true...
Open ControlsAnyone from the USA would like to comment their last world cup qualifying game? 🙂
thanks,
guy from costa rica.Open ControlsOff night, happens to everyone
GL qualifying...Open Controls
For UCL
Vidal or Gotze?Open ControlsHow does this WC team look opinions appreciated thanks!!
Migs
Vidic, Zab, Mert,
Walcott, Lampard, Erikson, Sessegnon!!
Benteke, Sturridge, Giroud
(Davies), ( Chester), (Collins), (JWP) .5itbOpen ControlsSo has it even been confirmed Johnson is out for two months or is it just speculation? And if he is, are we sure Wisdom will fill in?
Open ControlsNot to my knowledge. It is feared that the injury is quite bad - upper ankle - but the source of the rumour is unreliable and the injury is now a knee ligament. My bet is that he is out for a couple of weeks at least but will be waiting for news before acting.
Open Controls
Whittaker nailed on??
Open ControlsNope. Could well be ousted. I personally wouldn't take the risk.
Open Controls
Right with all these injuries my team is pretty screwed. Should I wildcard?
Team for gw 4
Boruc
Chester Coleman Ivan
Walcott Silva Snod Nolan
Giroud Sturridge Soldado
Foster Toure Kim Burner
So injuries Foster Toure Sturridge and Silva. Kim very average.
Wildcard?Open ControlsWell you have Boruc so Foster isn't urgent.
Sturridge could well play (and doesn't play until Monday remember)
Silva might not be out that long, if at all. Wait for news IMO, assuming you would want him not injured.
Toure could well still play. He will be fit, and could even play right back.
Kim has been playing well, and at the very least is nailed on.
I don't think it's a disaster at all, and I would only WC if you wanted to change more than just what you mentioned, as you could easily take a -4 to sort most of it out.Open ControlsAlready taken a - 4 already this week ......
So that's the team I have to go withOpen ControlsWell if I were you I would WC. But I have no reservations about hitting the button. I wouldn't advise you to definitely do so because it doesn't look dreadful, but nobody could blame you either.
Open Controls
might be a good option. it depends on how you feel about playing with less than 11.
I would.
I have Silva and Sturridge but I am going to wait and see.Open Controls
erm...........I posted 'where have the upvotes gone' and it has been removed.
is that offensive? I don't get it.Open Controlsprobably jonty again
