City’s in-form frontman continues to catch the eye. Newcastle’s on-loan forward also impresses, while we cast an eye over a couple of midlands-based midfielders and assess attacking threat from the back over this weekend and the last six Gameweeks:
Anyone thinking of Michu > Hernandez or is it a bit daft
Open Controlsdaft if Hernandez doesn't play
could be decent if he doesOpen Controls
Morning gents,
So I've 0.4m in the bank and 2 freebies to play with this week.
Fancy bringing Silva in for Michu but am 0.2m short, so will need to downgrade with my other freebie - which of these would you say is best?
(A) Giroud -> Benteke
- Benteke has great fixtures and is a beast, but with no Wiemann and potentially no Gabby, will he get the service? Also, Giroud is nailed on for a team full of goals, so I'm not sure he's a must sell. He also has SOT, car, HUL in the next 3 games after this week....
(B) Nolan -> Snodgrass/Sessegnon
- Nolan has been top of my bin list for ages but always seems to avoid the chop. With Ravel in my midfield he is surplus to requirements, however there isn't a great deal out there for 6.6m or below. Sess and Snoddy both have great stats and the latter is on pens. Both also rotate well with Ravel. Sess does have che this week though which is putting me off a little.
(C) Nolan -> a cheapie (Januzaj, Amalfitano, Brady)
- All rotate ok with Ravel and will leave me with circa 1.5m in the bank. Struggling to decide which of the 3 is best if going this route though.
Boruc
Baines, Terry, Clyne, Toure
Michu, Mirallas, Ramsey
Suarez, Aguero, Giroud
Davis, Nolan, Ravel, WardOpen ControlsNolan > Brady I think, save the other transfer looks good
Open ControlsAnd keep an injured Michu? Brady has SOT away this week, so I would only be getting him in this week to fund an upgrade elsewhere.
Open Controls
I'd go for Nolan to Snodgrass. I know he might not be fit, but you can bench him this game week, and he'll be 100% fit after the internationals. I'm bringing him in ASAP!
Also I wouldn't do Michu to Silva because you've got Aguero, personally I'd go for Oscar!Open ControlsAlso, I wouldn't get rid of Giroud just yet. After United, Arsenal have a good run of fixtures and at the minute Giroud is more on form than Benteke. Once Benteke picks up form, then I suggest you do the swap.
I done Giroud to Aguero before the Norwich game and Rooney to Benteke two weeks ago. I wish I had Giroud or Rooneh instead of Benteke tbh. I definitely rushed that one.Open ControlsCheers.
I think I'm swaying back towards Sess or Snoddy in for Nolan to fund getting Silva - check his stats in the members area - very impressive!
Sess vs Snoddy is a close one!Open ControlsI'm with Snoddy all day long! I'm sure he'll fire up after the internationals. And remember, Snodgrass could be £1m cheaper than Sessegnon after the internationals, if he drops a few more times
Open Controls
WC activated
Boruc , Myhill
Terry - Dawson - Clyne - Rat - Rosenior
Hazard - Ramsey - JWP - Cabaye - Morison
kun - Suarze - Rooney
rate this team & any thing to change ???Open Controlsdon't like Cabaye and iffy on JWP
Morrison is on 4 YCs, but his price is going up, so keep
in my opinion, the cheap mids are where you build team value this season. get cheap mids whose price is going up (Januzaj, RavMo, etc.) and keep trading and locking in gains until you have enough for another premium mid or defenderOpen ControlsNice attack. Would swap JWP and Cabaye to better mids
Open Controls
i have only 2 green arrows in whole season so far
OR-140k
very pathetic oppening 10 gws
looking forward to climbing up in rankings at leastOpen ControlsSuperb WC last week Forca - well done.
You will still make top 5k imo, possibly top 1k.
Thoughts on my transfer poser above?Open Controlsget Sess , i got him in with my wc and he looks like great valute
Open ControlsThis week though? Don't fancy him to get much away at Chelsea.
Not a fan of Benteke?Open Controlsnot really , i rate Giroud as much better option than him so i wouldnt waste transfer on him
Rooney,Suarez,Aguero are top 3 strikers
giroud,sturridge,lukaku behined them
then remy
then bentekeOpen ControlsDid you look at Snodgrass also? His stats are just as good as Sess and he's on pens. Better fixtures too.
Open ControlsIs he awake yet after his concussion?
😉Open ControlsMaybe not this week, but gw 12-17 Wba has better fixtures then Nor me thinks.
Open ControlsYou'd expect him to play this week right? 10 days is long enough to get over concussion.
Let's hope this isn't another Taarabt.
Thoughts on the best move?Open ControlsI've said my piece up above!
Open Controls
He was awake before he left the ground lol! Definitely bringing him in after the internationals.
Open Controls
*cough cough...
😉Open Controls
Nicely done with the WC Forca.
Upwards and onwards. Decent week for me too except the Vorm thing. Ugh.Open Controls
Good morning folks. How did we all do this weekend?
I had Kun(c) so Saturday was alright followed by an abysmal Sunday. Michu and Vorm owner.
Dawson and Burner on the bench.Open ControlsWhy do loads of players on TotalFPL have extremely high percentages in the 'falls' bit? 100 players are at 120%+ with a lot of players being 200%+
Open Controlswondering same
think there's a bug in their system which will get sorted out when someone managing it checks it - but would gander they're asleep at the momentOpen ControlsI wouldn't mind if it was correct, but there's not one player in that list who I want!
Open Controls
If I remember correctly, players' prices will drop by 0.1 when the NTOs reaches 10%. For example, if player A is owned by 100 managers, 10 transfers outs equal to -10% (-110%), hence 0.1 price drop,
For risers, the 0.1 price gain is calculated once NTIs reached 40k+ .Open ControlsYeah I get that, but I've never seen so many players that high before.
Open Controls
Just realized i got 69 points this GW 😎
Anyhow, what to address first? 1 FT.
Vorm xx
Dawson Vidic Terry Clyne Burner
Michu Ramsey Barkley Ravel Brady
RVP Suarez Kun
0.7M in the bank. 1 FT.
Surely 4.0 keeper to short term 4.0 keeper?Open ControlsHarper?
Open ControlsYeah, I agree with the keeper transfer, also I strongly recommend upgrading Barkley/Ravel/Brady to Snodgrass when he's fit!
Open ControlsI didn't notice Michu in there! He's been that quiet!
Open Controls
Michu to Januzaj
How can you not own Januzaj? You are the leader of his fan club and talked him up when he was hardly even considered for mispronunciation by MarkOpen ControlsGiving him some pressure free performances. 😉
Open Controls
Hmm, none of the sub 4.7m keepers really appeal as a 1 week punt (don't think any will get a CS). I'd be inclined to do Michu -> Silva/Hazard (probably Silva) and just play no keeper this week.
Open ControlsIs he surely out? I'm patient with these big hitters. Always expect them to come good.
Open ControlsCheck the tweets on the homepage
"Michu twisted his ankle in today's defeat at Cardiff and could miss "a couple of games" including Thursday's Europa tie according to Laudrup"
Not definitely, but I doubt he'll get rushed back. After this week he has 2 away games (incl City). Time to get rid I think, and possibly bring back for GW14.Open ControlsGood point Jinny.
Open Controls
Best fooking team in the Prem.
I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts...
for 28 more gameweeks. 😎
Evening all.Open ControlsHowzit SnakeJ
Open ControlsOops.
At least we can laugh at your grav.Open ControlsGot Aguero and Benteke in this week.

My team selection cost us. It turned out Kun(c) was the way to go even with a -4 from myself and TommyT. Canadian F getting 28 was a killer.
Vorm(red), Lukaku(3 yellows) didn't help.
Lost 459-448.Open ControlsVorm red and Lukaku 3 yellows wouldn't have made a diff though it seems.
Bloody hell close tie.Open Controls

Good morning scouts
One ft, should I use it tho week or do a double next week, if yes who to transfer out?
My team
Boruc Davis
Clyne Reid Williams rafael Wilson
Oscar townsend Ramsey barkley michu
Rooney Kun suarez
Should I do michu >silva or something else as I have aguero?Open ControlsEither save the transfers or get Michu out before he drops again!
Open ControlsMichu surely out of Swansea fixture against stoke or he still has a chance to play. If Laudrup confirms it I'll transfer him out, still have high hopes from michu.
Open Controls
one of these:
a) Michu to Silva this week
b) Michu to Januzaj or RavMo this week; Townsend to Walcott for GW12
c) save FTOpen ControlsWant to transfer rafael and Wilson out too, both bad picks shouldn't have picked either of them.
Open Controls
@Jinswick - jeez Louise...just noticed Snoddy is only 5.9M!
Norwich do have nice fixtures over next 5 or so and allows me to ditch Lukaku next week....
*Puts thinking cap onOpen ControlsSnoddy love!!!
Open ControlsHis stats were very good prior to getting injured.
http://allthingsfpl.com/2013/10/23/fantasy-football-flying-under-the-radar-gameweek-9/#more-2945Open ControlsYeah I know. I was hyping about him before he got injured and someone shown me that. You can't go wrong with him at £5.9m - could drop more and decent fixtures. The only problem is Norwich are struggling a bit at the minute. But I'm sure he'll do well.
Open Controls
5.9? Damn.
I'm going to download MOTD and watch all the games in peace tonight/tomm before making any decision.Open ControlsPerfect h/a rotation with Sessgnon...
WHAM/VILLA/CPAL/CITY/NOR/SWANS or car/HULL or sun/FUL...up to after Xmas!
😯Open ControlsH/A rotation is needed when you have 3 other solid mids to play. I think i'm going to get a little creative with my team this weekend. Lets see. Early days.
Open ControlsIndeed, but the mid range milfs are firing this season. No reason why Sess & Snoddy cant do the same.
No need for 3 solid milfs if you have Dawson/Clyne/Terry/Coleman and Car/hull keeping CS.
Just look at those fixtures....other then WH and CITY they all have leaky defences.
Would you approve if it opens the door to Lukaku->Rooney next week?
😉Open Controls
Is it Snodgrass who performs better away? Have you taken that into consideration with the rotation?
Open Controls*tears up working papers.
Open Controls
Indeed. He was a must have pre-season at 6.5m. Now a full 0.6m cheaper.
I am very, very tempted.Open ControlsNorwich are dire though...only 6 goals in 10 games.
Westham have only conceded 1 goal in their 5 away fixtures.Open ControlsYeah, that's the main concern.
I think they've been a bit unlucky in some games though - e.g. the 0-0 at home to Cardiff was crazy
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24591159Open Controls
Thoughts on Cout as a midfield punt?
Open Controlsdont really think his classified as a punt. sure he got 3 blanks at the start of the year. but having played 900 mins last year.. which is the same as yay toure has played this year and score 63.. coutinho scored 70.. which if that was this year puts him second behind ramsay (73)
suarez being there should increase his appeal.Open Controlsposted something on him earlier today... http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/5952505
Open ControlsThat's an extremely good point, but who did he get these points against?
Open Controlsi dont remember exactly who.. but he was there v arsenal and man city last season.. he did extremely well. all im saying is that he is not the hopeless player in fpl terms ppl have said alot lately. he is a viable option.
Open ControlsLet's see how he performs against Fulham. Suarez and Sturridge should rip them apart. If he looks good and looks like he will be supplying the two with plenty of balls, then I'd be happy to take a punt, especially when no ones really appealing in midfield.
Open Controlssomeone told me before his a "disgusting pick" and another said his just "HBA just more expensive". then i looked at what HBA scored last year and it was 72... just 2 more than coutinho.. who only came to liverpool in january. sure he upsetted afew ppl with 3 blanks and an injury.. still think his a great pick tho. consider rvp has blanked more than 3 times this year! doesnt mean he will keep blanking!
Open Controls
Thanks for this Hazzy. Food for thought.
Open Controlsno problem. i am very tempted to bringing him in this week for one of hazard or oscar (yes i doubled up lol) since i dont know which one to transfer out i am going to save FT and wait till i know who to get rid of for him! (also have silva to, but wouldnt consider transfering him out )
Open Controls
I was tempted, but he didn't do much for me before, so I'd have to wait on him personally.
Open ControlsNope. Never. Again.
Open ControlsIt's certainly a punt
On the downside It may take him a while to resettle and I would be surprised if he outscored hazard or Oscar, let alone silva
On the up side no other premiums are doing it this year so what have you got to lose?Open Controlshe will only get better. people get a blank these days and everyone sells and calls it a disaster. having watched all those games he came close so many times to assist. if suarez was there it most likely would have happened. you could see how much of an impact he makes for liverpool the moment he came of V swansea.. after that liverpool struggled to go forward. (didnt have suarez then either)
Open Controls
Need get Silva in, so should I get rid of..
A. Yaya
B. Özil(if Özil, then bring Wally in after int break to replace Yaya)
C. Neither, too much sideways...
Thanks...Open ControlsWhat's my ideal transfer this week?

Open ControlsHi LR,
I'm in the same situation with you (Vorm + 4m not playing keeper + Michu).
I'm going to get Silva or Coutinho in for Michu. So getting rid of Vorm would mean -4pts hit.
