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? 🙂
Open ControlsPS Where the feck is ITWT??? 🙂
Open ControlsNow, there's a question.
Unhappy with the regime ... 😕Open Controls

Vote early, vote often! :-D.Open ControlsDone 🙂

Question for you below on jussi ?
Open ControlsNo, 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 lurksOpen ControlsWinston
Open ControlsThis ^^^. 😆
Open ControlsI 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?
Open ControlsYes.
Open ControlsYeah not as good as Kolarov, but far better than Tomkins
Open ControlsMore nailed on than Aleks, that is what I need.
Open Controls
Get Tomkins. Collins is crap.
Open Controls
Oh god, no.
Open ControlsAwww ... 🙂
Open Controls
- Open Controls
Happy as in 14.2857% of The Seven Dwarves? 😉
Open ControlsNope - I'm Greedy Nan! 😉
Open Controls
We know!!! 😛 😉
Open Controls
Yep, who couldn't be having broken through the 30 point barrier this week?
Open Controls😆
Open Controls
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 beOpen ControlsYeah it's been my thoughts. I'm thinking 4-3-3 dropping Rav.....
Open Controls
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 RooneyOpen Controls
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.Open Controls*Adrián. 😉

I'm looking at getting rid of Migs then, it covers nicely to the end of the wc windowOpen Controls

zabaleta coleman fonte
oscar silva januzaj ramsey
aguero rooney suarez
boruc jwp chester whittiekrOpen ControlsThanks. Nice team. I might go for Ward -> Dawson instead of Coleman -> Vertonghen though...he's a bit pricey!
Open Controlsdawson 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 ?Open Controls
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.Open ControlsA - 3 essential players and JWP ridiculously cheap for a 5th mid who gets good game time and is on set pieces (?)
Open ControlsYou speak a lot of sense sir.
Open ControlsWhat about the worry problem of tons of fixtures for Aguero... Not worried by that?
Open Controls
No player is essential unless he's scoring points every week and is dirt cheap.
Open ControlsWhich one do you prefer Granville?
I know what you mean though... Worried by Aguero fixture pile up in the next few weeks.Open ControlsYou mean...
No player is essential unless he's scoring points every week and has bucked teethOpen ControlsIt's all about the teeth for me, points don't matter... 🙂
Open ControlsAny thoughts on my quandary Acqua?
Open Controls
One of the last I can remember that fit this was Evans
Open ControlsSwansea era Siggy, McLean
Open Controls
So Ramsey?
Open Controls
@Ginka. MB10 has 9 whereas ive done 10 🙁
Guess i have to give up my cause! 🙂Open ControlsSome really big numbers this week. Is that 72pt font?
Open ControlsWhat are Barkley owners doing? Keep, selling? I have depth on the bench.
Open ControlsHave to keep for this week
Open ControlsKeeping. When he came on yesterday he looked good. I think he'll continue with good game time personally....
Am monitoring but have bigger priorities ATMOpen ControlsHave three Everton players plummeting in price, but have to keep for this week.
Open Controls
What yous think: to start this week
1.januzaj
Or
2 barkleyOpen Controlshttp://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!Open ControlsThere 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
Open ControlsYou need to make it public first. Cannt see it man.
Open ControlsOh have to change it to all matches, so never mind my cmt above.
Open Controls
Is Giggs Boson about?
Open ControlsThoughts and suggestions appreciated

Is this the first week I can get away without any transfers ?
Thinking I should maybe take Shirley out but who for , got £7.5mOpen ControlsPPG Dream Team (non-injured, min 5 games):
Boruc
Vertonghen Lovren Baines
Ramsey Özil Yaya Silva
Suárez Agüero Sturridge
Fonte GJohnson Amalfitano; JääskeläinenOpen ControlsHmm, seems I have 7 of those 15.
(backs into drawing board, spills coffee)Open Controls
Got Pienaar in for Michu, let's see how this goes...
Open ControlsWas considering him yesterday, might be something there. Think he's a bit of an average option tho
Open Controls
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 pleaseOpen ControlsEssential??????????? 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 alternativesOpen ControlsI disagree, Kolarov is essential
I got Coleman off my bench this week
Milanista got B. Turner
think Ginkapo got someone decent as well
😛Open ControlsVerty
Open Controls😎
Open Controls
In that case you should be a little more canny and get a 3.9m non playing defender. 🙂
Open ControlsBut when Verty gets a bad score I dont feel bad as its Kolarov blocks it
Open Controls
You should have just played Coleman and BTurner in the first place (gloating)
Open Controls
Suarez avging 9.6 ppg.
Near essential.Open ControlsCan 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.
Open ControlsI 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.Open Controls
Agree.
Terms such as 'essential' and 'season keeper' are so misleading.Open ControlsIn 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).Open Controls(Evans and Siggy two seasons ago, needless to say)
Open ControlsThose are gems, not essential players 😉
Open Controlsbut 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
Open Controls
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
Open ControlsMadness! Lamps in his prime. 15g and 10a per year!
Open ControlsYeah discussion of essentials always goes back to Ronaldo, he is the original.
I didn't play it back then, was Henry ever essential.Open Controlsnever 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 himOpen ControlsWas Ronaldo at his best even more reliant than Robin at his best?
Open Controlshe 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
Open ControlsMonster. 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.
Open ControlsI 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 4Open Controls
the season before he was 14m he scored 40 from midfield
Open Controls
Henry was 14m in the first season I played it in 2006. Mark was all over him, he loves a 14m striker 😉
Open Controls*Searches FFS for the words "Henry comfort blanket"*
Open Controls
got on Siggy nice and early.
Siggy, McClean, Bale, VdV and Silva
I captained VdV 3 times that season
30
20
44
😎Open ControlsVDV and Bale combo
loved itOpen Controls
Perhaps it's the wording....put it this way, would you go without Suarez/Ramsey?
Open Controlsramsey yes
suarez noOpen Controls
Just admit defeat and get Aguero.
Open Controls
If you skimping on your 3rd striker probably Mitroglou, his season is extraordinary. 17 goals in 12 games I think.
Open Controls
Just started FM14. Ramsey is on loan to Cardiff. Walcott on loan to Liverpool.
Outrageous.Open ControlsAlright Doos, got your sandals & leather jockstraps buffed up for the weekend? 😉
Open ControlsYep. But I never get played!!! 😡
Open ControlsSuck on this, baby!!! 😉 😎
Boruc
Baines, Reid, Clyne
Özil, Hazard, Januzaj, Ramsey
Rooney, Sturridge, Aguero
Subs: Adrián; Howson, Wilson, Faye ... - 4Open ControlsNo Suarez. Bench him 😛
Open ControlsThey will!!! 😥
Open ControlsYou'll play Doos, I'm sure. The 'management' don't like hits though I reckon!
Open Controls
Reid worth it over Rat as well?
If so, maybe I'll just splash out. I need nailed-on defendersOpen ControlsDoosra, that is superb 😀 a little temp,ate though may I say 😉
Open ControlsYou may! 😛

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?Open ControlsI'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.
