Paul
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:
So. Everybody happy? 🙂
PS Where the feck is ITWT??? 🙂
Now, there's a question.
Unhappy with the regime ... 😕
Doos-rah.
Michu > Silva (-4)
What says you?
I say no! 🙂
Keep and take the price drops then?

Vote early, vote often! :-D.
Done 🙂
Question for you below on jussi ?
No, I am trying to decide which are your defenders not called Reid to buy
I lean towards Tomkins for the extra BP chance over Rat, but Collins lurks
Winston
This ^^^. 😆
I realise Winston is the safest choice, and the biggest goal threat, but he's only 0.1 less than Kolarov. Is he worth 0.5 more than Tomkins?
Yes.
Yeah not as good as Kolarov, but far better than Tomkins
More nailed on than Aleks, that is what I need.
Get Tomkins. Collins is crap.
Oh god, no.
Awww ... 🙂
Happy as in 14.2857% of The Seven Dwarves? 😉
Nope - I'm Greedy Nan! 😉
We know!!! 😛 😉
Yep, who couldn't be having broken through the 30 point barrier this week?
😆
Guys please give a little advice.
Is this lot good to go?
Boruc
Shaw Ivan walker
Ozil Ramsey yaya ravel
Suarez Aguero Lukaku
(Davis Coleman Barkley Whittaker)
May look at playing Coleman
Basically my main focus is 2 works leagues. A classic league and most importantly a £10 per week league where top GW score warrants a return of about £250.
In short I'm happy to write this next GW off to get it right....
Currently -4 and £0 in bank.
Happy to take more hits this week if needs be
Yeah it's been my thoughts. I'm thinking 4-3-3 dropping Rav.....
Would you take further hits?
I like
Walker to Dawson.... V v sideways but saves ££ and more favourable BPS
Ivan to Mert... Over the season I see more points and £1m saved
If I threw Ozil to Wally (when fit)
The combo of above allows
Lukaku to Rooney
Migs to Jussi after INT BREAK
i know west ham have a few tricky games but jussi is surely a clean sheet machine under big sam.
*Adrián. 😉
Tim Howard
have coleman
so? Check Everton's fixtures after GW16
I'm looking at getting rid of Migs then, it covers nicely to the end of the wc window
This. Awesome fixture for Everton from gw 16.
Miggs (boruc)
Ivan. Clyde. Williams. Dawson. (Ward)
Shirley. Oscar. Ramsey. Townsend. Janu
Rooney. Aguero. Sturridge.
Is this the first week I can get away without any transfers ?
Shirley two Chelsea is too many given the patchy form...
But for this week, you look good to go!

Bieber never disappoints. Great song!
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
very very decent team mate ..
mines very similer ..
mignolet
zabaleta coleman fonte
oscar silva januzaj ramsey
aguero rooney suarez
boruc jwp chester whittiekr
Thanks. Nice team. I might go for Ward -> Dawson instead of Coleman -> Vertonghen though...he's a bit pricey!
dawson would be a better option mate. vert is too expensive .. but a bap magnet lol
have u thought about going for a 433 formation ,.. when i manage to get rid of chester and whittiker i might get reid or swansea defender in there .. a lot of defenders get awesome baps ?
Front eight keepers for now - Ozil, Oscar, Ravel, Rooney
Long term which would you rather have? Leave me to worry how to get them in, just who would want in your side?
A). Aguero, Suarez, Ramsey, Ward-Price
B). Aguero, Suarez, Barkley, 6m mid(Hernandez, Snodgrass)
C). Suarez, Benteke, Silva, Ward-Price
D). Aguero, Sturridge, Ramsey, Sessegnon
E). Suarez, Lukaku, Silva, Brady/Arnautovic
F). Another combo
Reasons would be lovely too. Cheers.
A - 3 essential players and JWP ridiculously cheap for a 5th mid who gets good game time and is on set pieces (?)
You speak a lot of sense sir.
What about the worry problem of tons of fixtures for Aguero... Not worried by that?
No player is essential unless he's scoring points every week and is dirt cheap.
Which one do you prefer Granville?
I know what you mean though... Worried by Aguero fixture pile up in the next few weeks.
You mean...
No player is essential unless he's scoring points every week and has bucked teeth
It's all about the teeth for me, points don't matter... 🙂
Any thoughts on my quandary Acqua?
One of the last I can remember that fit this was Evans
Swansea era Siggy, McLean
So Ramsey?
@Ginka. MB10 has 9 whereas ive done 10 🙁
Guess i have to give up my cause! 🙂
Some really big numbers this week. Is that 72pt font?
What are Barkley owners doing? Keep, selling? I have depth on the bench.
Have to keep for this week
Keeping. When he came on yesterday he looked good. I think he'll continue with good game time personally....
Am monitoring but have bigger priorities ATM
Have three Everton players plummeting in price, but have to keep for this week.
What yous think: to start this week
1.januzaj
Or
2 barkley
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/4356/
Built a table for defenders who accumulate BPS. IF it can be improved any let me know just a rough stab!
There has to be something missing, Vert and Jags, the two defenders with the most BPs don't appear/ What is missing I don't know though
You need to make it public first. Cannt see it man.
Oh have to change it to all matches, so never mind my cmt above.
Is Giggs Boson about?
Thoughts and suggestions appreciated
Migs / Lewis
Wilson / Shaw / Dawson / Coleman / Chester
Sess / Rambo / Silva / Townsend / Whittingham
Giroud / Suarez / RVP
cheers
also 1.6m in the bank
Have 7.6 to spend on Midfielder to replace Michu (-4). Rest of Team is:
Migs, Boruc
Vidic, Zab, Dawson, Clyne, Koscielny
Ravel, Brady, Haz, Rambo
Aguero, Sturridge, Rooney
Assistance much appreciated

Repost
Miggs (boruc)
Ivan. Clyde. Williams. Dawson. (Ward)
Shirley. Oscar. Ramsey. Townsend. Janu
Rooney. Aguero. Sturridge.
Is this the first week I can get away without any transfers ?
Thinking I should maybe take Shirley out but who for , got £7.5m
PPG Dream Team (non-injured, min 5 games):
Boruc
Vertonghen Lovren Baines
Ramsey Özil Yaya Silva
Suárez Agüero Sturridge
Fonte GJohnson Amalfitano; Jääskeläinen
Hmm, seems I have 7 of those 15.
(backs into drawing board, spills coffee)
Got Pienaar in for Michu, let's see how this goes...
Was considering him yesterday, might be something there. Think he's a bit of an average option tho
Please rate my squad (ignore benching)
-4 already and £0 in bank..
Is this lot good to go?
Boruc
Shaw Ivan walker
Ozil Ramsey yaya ravel
Suarez Aguero Lukaku
(Davis Coleman Barkley Whittaker)
Plus points and negatives please
Essential??????????? There isn't such a thing. We have a squad of player with a limited budget and spread the costs as we see fit.
When Bale was a 6m defender playing OOP 3 years ago, he was nearly essential. When Michu was 6.5m last season and scoring braces he was nearly essential. The closest thing right now is Ramsey because of his price, but really he isn't.
Not of those big hitters are essential because you can make those points back using cheaper alternatives
I disagree, Kolarov is essential
I got Coleman off my bench this week
Milanista got B. Turner
think Ginkapo got someone decent as well
😛
Verty
😎
In that case you should be a little more canny and get a 3.9m non playing defender. 🙂
But when Verty gets a bad score I dont feel bad as its Kolarov blocks it
You should have just played Coleman and BTurner in the first place (gloating)
Suarez avging 9.6 ppg.
Near essential.
Can you though tekkers and lukaku are not reliable both blanking left , right and centre where as kun and rooney are delivering most if not all weeks.
I think it's a dynamic phenomenan. Kun,Rooney and Suarez all blank for a few weeks and Benteke and Lukaku may go a run.
Will that make Lukaku and Benteke essential and Kun,Suarez and rooney non essential? I think no.
It's always evolving.
Agree.
Terms such as 'essential' and 'season keeper' are so misleading.
In the strictest sense of the word, as in you need to own this player to get a good score, I don't think it exists.
In the sense of incredibly good value players that you'd be daft not to own because they free up funds to own heavy hitters, I think there have been a few. Evans, Siggy, and Ramsey earlier in the season when he was around 5.5 (unfortunately disbelief killed that one).
(Evans and Siggy two seasons ago, needless to say)
Those are gems, not essential players 😉
but you could argue that they were essential as they were cheap and scoring and this allowed one to have all the holy trinity of that season, Aguero, RvP and Rooney
Evans yes. Siggy, well I missed most of that one. I guess the only big hitter over the years you had to have really was Ronaldo in 2007
Madness! Lamps in his prime. 15g and 10a per year!
Yeah discussion of essentials always goes back to Ronaldo, he is the original.
I didn't play it back then, was Henry ever essential.
never played it back then
But Ronaldo 07/08 was the original default captaincy option. I got my highest rank (until 2 seasons ago) that season by basically leaving on him
Was Ronaldo at his best even more reliant than Robin at his best?
he was. Similar number of goals, more assists, and he was classed as a mid, so his braces and hatties were worth more than RvP's
Monster. Some guy showed you could access old FPL using the Web Archive (http://web.archive.org). Some of the points back then were eye opening.
I just clicked on a random FPL archived page and found this.
http://web.archive.org/web/20071004144048/http://fantasy.premierleague.com/
Remember Portsmouth 7 Reading 4
the season before he was 14m he scored 40 from midfield
Henry was 14m in the first season I played it in 2006. Mark was all over him, he loves a 14m striker 😉
*Searches FFS for the words "Henry comfort blanket"*
got on Siggy nice and early.
Siggy, McClean, Bale, VdV and Silva
I captained VdV 3 times that season
30
20
44
😎
VDV and Bale combo
loved it
Perhaps it's the wording....put it this way, would you go without Suarez/Ramsey?
ramsey yes
suarez no
Just admit defeat and get Aguero.
If you skimping on your 3rd striker probably Mitroglou, his season is extraordinary. 17 goals in 12 games I think.
Just started FM14. Ramsey is on loan to Cardiff. Walcott on loan to Liverpool.
Outrageous.
Alright Doos, got your sandals & leather jockstraps buffed up for the weekend? 😉
Yep. But I never get played!!! 😡
Suck on this, baby!!! 😉 😎
Boruc
Baines, Reid, Clyne
Özil, Hazard, Januzaj, Ramsey
Rooney, Sturridge, Aguero
Subs: Adrián; Howson, Wilson, Faye ... - 4
No Suarez. Bench him 😛
They will!!! 😥
You'll play Doos, I'm sure. The 'management' don't like hits though I reckon!
Reid worth it over Rat as well?
If so, maybe I'll just splash out. I need nailed-on defenders
Doosra, that is superb 😀 a little temp,ate though may I say 😉
You may! 😛
The horror ... the horror ... 🙁
jacuzzi
morrison
brady
townsed
which one of these would be in ur starting 11 ??
Big decision need to be made.
My team:
Boruc
Chico terry clyne
Michu Ozil Ramsey Morrison
Rooney Suarez Aguero
Lewis; Barkley, Faye, Wilson
Got 1FT and 0.8mill in the bank.
Michu -> Silva or oscar or hazard?
Michu to Silva is the best option. Why do Oscar to Haz ?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkV6X8jJHgo-dDU1c1otZnBaWWRPQ1NqTnJUSXpuQXc&usp=drive_web#gid=0
There it is if anyones interested!
Current team is as below..
Boruc speroni
mert Coleman Johnson burner Clyne
Michu Ozil barkley ravel januzaj
Suarez Sturridge Aguero
thinking of Michu to Silva for a free.
Worth bringing terry in for mert (-4) and playing 4-3-3
Maybe even speroni to panti.
Or am i making changes for the sake of it?
I'm considering the same for michu. As above. But I think you have enough cover in defence you don't need to take a hit for defence.
