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:
Chances of Muller starting for Bayern this week?
Considering swapping him and Shirokov to Ribery and someone.Open ControlsRepost from earlier today.
Falling stars update (GW10) (prices correct as of 31/10)
You know the rules..a fictitous team made up of those players who have fallen from grace.Cheap as chips, all less than their opening gw values and collectively on or less than the original 100 mill budget. Definitely no knee jerks allowed and affording the absolute luxury of awaiting Friday pressers.
GW10 team as posted 31/10
Harper(8)
Johnson(DNS) Cole(1) Rosenior(9)
Michu(2) Mirallas(2) Sessegnon(6) Cabaye(7)
Torres(2) Benteke(2) RVP © (24)
Subs..DDG(3) Rat(6) Williams(2) JWP(7) BOOM..after auto subs 69 pts GW10 average 52 pts
Harper/Rosenior prove great budget picks..Cabaye shows the worth of a player ON kicks..and RVP finally living up to his somewhat overpriced hype. On the downside..Torres once again flattered to deceive and Michu proves the worth of a 9.0mill player NOT on kicks.
Boom again for the falling stars. It was hard to compete against a seven goal haul by the City megastars and Captain Aguero this week but not too shabby…happy with thatOpen ControlsBest Midfielder in for under 6.1?
Giroud - Aguero
Michu - ?
Thinking between Barkley, Januzaj, Arnautovic. None really stand out.Open ControlsI'm doing Michu -> Oscar. Have 0.2 in the bank, so can't afford another drop/rise.
I wanted to wait untill wednesday but i guess that's out of the window right?
Should i just do it now and forget about it?Open ControlsWait until the UCL games are done.
Open Controls
Jussi or Begovic long term ?
West ham are more solid but have harder fixtures.
Which would you pick and why ?Open Controls@ KROMOWIDJOJO ÖRÄNJĒ
It's Sorensen. Butland is currently out on loanOpen ControlsIs Butland new?
Open Controlscheers demi
Open ControlsSorry to rain on your parade Demi.
Do you think Tomkins is worth the 0.2 over Rat? Rat gets forward a lot, but he doesn't really have an outlet for his crosses. Tomkins seems like a BP magnet and a decent goal threat. Reid is a bigger goal threat, but he's too expnsive for my tastes.Open ControlsTough one. Rat seems more nailed on to me. Collins could get his place back after a couple poor performances, whereas i see that as less likely with Job. I'd lean towards Rat for the money saved and occasional assist
Open ControlsCollins is still injured no?
Open ControlsYeah but it's not long term is it? Could be back next game
Open Controlsno idea, FPL just says unknown return date.
will consider this during the Norwich game. It just seems to me that CBs are more likely to get BPs when they keep a Clean Sheet.Open ControlsSeems generally true but doesn't seem to have been quite the game changer it seemed to be 6-7 GWs ago when the returns from Vidic/Terry/Ferdinand suggested you might get an extra 2 bonus from your centerbacks. Think the truth is that it's more about owning an exceptional centerback than owning any center back at all.
Open ControlsI guess the other big factor is the supposed goal drought turned out to be a load of baloney so any advantage in CS bonus comes into play less often.
Open Controls
Very likely , over injury just an illness last weekend
Open Controls
One transfer this week, keep for next week or switch Oscar to Silva or Hangeland for Johnson.
3.2 in the Bank (confused as hell please help me with what to do!)
Mignolet
Coleman Ivanovic Vertonghen
Brady Morrison Ramsey Oscar
Suárez (c) Lukaku AgüeroOpen ControlsGiroud >> Rooney for a hit?
Yes or No?
(Already have Ozil and Ramsey if that makes a diff)Open ControlsHad Oscar for a couple of weeks now, I thought he was really bad on Saturday and certainly not a 9.0 player...I hope picks up a bit.
Open ControlsThat;s how ;'ve felt about Michu for weeks now... 🙁
Open ControlsYeah...I read the big numbers every week and wonder about these 9.0 mids...Silva on his share of kicks and corners is worth the price tag but i struggle to find the value in the others..I have umpteen"my stats" and they don't appear high up on many.
Open Controls
The whole Chelsea team looked out of sorts though, will probably get a better performance this weekend, especially with Chelsea's home record. Thinking of bringing in Haz/Oscar myself...
Open Controls
sorry to confuse everyone(including myself lol) but im stuck due to michus injury.
boruc lewis
coleman chico walker burner chester
ozil ramsey oscar morrison michu
suarez studge lukaku
did my ft and got in suarez. have 0.9m in bank left .
A) sit tight and hold on to michu. then next week do studge and walker >>> ageuro and rat (4pt hit)
B) take out michu for janujaz this week and next week do studge and walker >>> ageuro and terry(8pt hit)Open ControlsWhat's with the hits?
Just Michu > Silva.Open Controlsthat would be an hit too though and i want ageuro over silva as city coverage
Open ControlsYou just said you have 0.9 banked?
Open Controls
Feck, Just noticed Sniejder is injured.
Open ControlsStruggling on whether I need to admit defeat to ramsey this week or have city coverage (Aguero/Silva) as priority, got 2fts and 0.4 in the bank, any opinions please?
Mig
Dawson Distin Terry Clyne
Ozil Brady Morrison
Rooney Suarez Giroud
4.0gk, Michu Ravel TurnerOpen ControlsHappy with my team except the defence at the moment, which is:
Boruc
Clyne Dawson Coleman Toure Wilson
I feel I don't have a cheapie I could do with one at 4.0m at least. And my players have upcoming tough fixtures, I had considered sending Dawson on his way but hes good for BPS in a decent defensive team.
Considered Williams but there fixtures I don't see much CS potential (after gw11)...
Suggestions?Open ControlsBeric... hold or ditch Michu for Siva (-4) ?
Open ControlsBrady (sou) or Dawson(NEW).
Open Controlsi wouldn't take a hit, not sure witch of those two I'd play though, probably Brady
Open ControlsAny reason why?
Michu will drop 0.3 over INT. Break if he doesn't play this weekend (already dropped 0.1)
Silva's stats are incredible and he makes City tick in attack.Open ControlsI just don't think silva -4 will outscore brady/dawson and I try not to think about TV. that said, i made my first early transfer of the season this week to avoid losing value.
If you're bothered about your value and you're sure you want silva then i dont think its a bad moveOpen ControlsWhat early transfers did you make?
Open Controls
ful Newcastle Hull nor...
Open Controls
ful NEWCASTLE HULL nor....
Open ControlsJust to be clear.. doing Evra --> Terry tonight for -4 is NOT a good idea? I probably won't be able to afford this transfer next week due to Evra falling. But its just unnecessary to do it now isn't it? Or is it...
Open ControlsNo, Terry might well concede, Evra might get CS. I think the RMT will show max a 1 point diff between them, in Terry's favour.
Open Controls
Hello fellow FPL'ers! 🙂
The final week of my league has ended the Quter finals will start next week. One problem though! Myself and MB10 are tied on 544 pts for 6th place. Wondering how i decide who goes through? Would love to put myself through but wouldn't really be fair.....coin toss?Open ControlsWho has made least transfers?
Open Controls
1 tank in the Eve vs Tot match. Lloris keeps walking whilst Lukaku falls.
Open ControlsYes. Johnson is injury prone as well. Try someon (anyone..) else.
Open Controls
So, fairly happy with my team, Michu not so much...
Boruc Myhill
Coleman Chico Rat Murner Burner
Ozil Michu Ramsey Barkley Brady
Suarez Rooney Giroud
1,6M in bank and 2 FT.
Thinking Michu and Giroud to Aguero and Januzaj. Any reason not to do this? Other moves I should try?
Thinking to do the moves today as Giroud falls, Janu rises, Aguero will rise before CL game and Michu will prob fall once or twice during the week. Thoughts?Open ControlsIs it me or are more players falling this year? A couple of blanks and people are selling up. It's almost impossible to avoid price falls without taking hits.
Open ControlsI've had only 2 price falls till date this season. Murner and Michu being the culprits.
Could have been a lot worse if I wouldn't have played my WC in gw 6.Open Controls
Lukaku > Aguero this week or wait a week?
Would give me Roo, aguero and Saurez as front 3Open ControlsI'd definately hold Lukaku against Palace, could go beastmode.
Open ControlsThat's the front 3 to go far. Maybe keep Lukaku for Palace.
Open ControlsBut what about Aguero against Sunderland?! I know City have not been the same away, but still... It's a dilemma
Open Controls
How we looking?
Mignolet (Davis)
Coleman, Terry, Clyne (Rosenior, Ward)
Oscar, Silva, Ramsey, Januzaj (Barkley)
Suarez(c), Aguero, Sturridge
GW12 Sturridge -> Rooney
GW13
GW14 Davis, Barkley -> Boruc, JWP
GW 15 Coleman -> Vertonghen
Leaving:
Mignolet (Boruc)
Vertonghen, Terry, Clyne (Rosenior, Ward)
Oscar, Silva, Ramsey, Januzaj (JWP)
Suarez, Rooney, Aguero
Cheers!Open ControlsMost Selected XI:
Mignolet
Baines Coleman Zabaleta Ivanovic
Ramsey Yaya Barkley Özil
Sturridge Giroud
Bench: Lukaku RVP Fonte; BorucOpen ControlsI can take that. Bring on the rank rise
Open ControlsIf you could swap your team for that one now for free....would you?
Open Controls4 strikers in there?
Or is this any positions?Open Controlsgood spot, see below
Open Controls
remove RVP, add Oscar
Open ControlsA possible set of points:
6
6 6 6 6
2 3 5 5
9 5
= 59 plus captaincyOpen Controls
Oscar or silva this week? No other city or chelsea coverage
Open Controlshttp://www.goal.com/en-gb/match/122475/paris-st-germain-psg-vs-anderlecht/preview
Ibrahimovic and Tiago Silva doubtful, Cavani out for Anderlecht game tomorrow.Open ControlsIf you are in the paddy power cup then you dont want to take hits this week.
Open ControlsLike most cup competitions there's too many rounds for me to see any realistic chance of winning it, not going to let it interfere with my decision making tbh.
Open Controls
A or B
Giroud and Michu out for:
A Benteke and Silva
B Aquero and Anautovic/Januzaj
Already have Rooney as United cover if that helps
Thanks!Open ControlsAfter a great week for my wc team in UCL 2 weeks ago it now lies in tatters
Adriano -doubtful
Sneijder - injured
Zlatan - doubtful
May have to get rid of Muller for Ribery and get Drogba in.Open Controls
