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:
Price dips are so fast nowadays. Michu may drop 0.4m in a space of a week, hard to catch your breath. Never been this brutal before, if you turn your eye for a week you've lost 0.4 of your real team value which can take months of planning to gather in the first place.
Open ControlsCan only drop 0.3
Open ControlsHe started the GW at 8.9 having just dropped from 9.0 (which I bought him at). A week later he could be 8.6. I've sold but it's brutal the price changes. I think they fluctuate too much and makes us keen players garner a big advantage over semi casual players.
Open ControlsSorry, didn't see you said "in the space of one week", rather than one GW!
Open Controls
And it's been this brutal for 3 seasons now. Ever since overall number playing hit 2.5 m, FPL have been tweaking price threshold limits
Open Controls
I agree, it's hard to resist playing the markets and letting it decide transfers for you
Open ControlsTotally agree. Knowing Michu will drop 0.3m and Silva will raise 0.2m kind of forces a play knowing that that rise of TV of 0.5m if repeated consistently will bring you serious rewards later on in the season.

My TV is gonna skyrocket this week. More than a million in rises coming up. 😎
Open Controlsgood for you. 😉
Open Controls😯
My selling value would be 103.3m after Saturday. 😎Open ControlsYou truly are good at building TV. I give up. 🙁
Open Controls
Thats huge. Do you always play that tactic so you can smash it in the second half of the season?
Open ControlsWould you like to see my team now as result? 🙂
Open ControlsYes please. Would love to follow this strategy, is it too late, my real team value is around 100.5m, embarrassing.
Open Controls- Open Controls
Jaw drops. Great great team.
Open Controls
selling value 104.8...also every one of my players apart from lukaku migs and terry are going up... and those players i wont lose anything cos of the price i bought them... pretyy happy with that
Open ControlsWell done. You're gonna have a great time with your Jan WC.
Open Controls
Januzaj VS Arnautovic VS Amalfatino, as a Barkley replacement?
Currently leaning towards Arnie.
CheersOpen ControlsJust to be clear if I want to swap Oscar in for Michu I should do it ASAP?
Overall it's a good decidion right? Or should I wait and take a hit to bring in possibly Hazard instead depending on the CL game?Open ControlsIf you can afford to wait, leave it. Value doesn't get you points.
Open ControlsI can't afford any price increases for Oscar or drops for Michu. Value isn't normally a major deal to me to be honest, I just don't want to have to take a hit this GW.
Open ControlsYou will fine for tonight so I wouldn't do it yet. Oscar wont go up and Michu wont go down for tonight. Wait for tomorrow
Open Controls
I have 9.7 for a new DEF/MF
am thinking Brady/Rat or Janusajz/Tomkins
I don't really want Rat as I had him first few weeks and dropped him and hate going back.
I kind of want Tomkins as he scored a couple of goals for me a couple of seasons back....
Guy I am chasing in ML has Janusjaz and our teams are too similar already.
Any better calls for £9.7m?Open ControlsAmalfatino + Rat?
Open ControlsI got big Ron V this week, he's a good option. Attracting the BPs and Lambert seems to be tightening Villa up a bit. Good fixtures too
Open Controlsnot a bad option. villa are actually keeping cleanies these days
Open Controls2 in the last 4 is a kinder interpretation
Open Controls
Janusjaz rising tonight so if I dont do it now I cant do it...
Do we think he is going to be a huge player for ManU? I mean he got two goals in one game, and has had a couple of assists, which is pretty good I guess, but its only the 2 goal game where he did well FPLwise - 4, 1, 14, 1, 1, 5. Lot of ones in there.... Is he going to be a nailed down starter? I guess then the bandwagon begins in earnest.Open ControlsI'm going to bring either him or Barkley in for Michu, so that I can afford Aguero. He looks easily the most creative midfielder Man Utd at the moment. Might be worth the risk.
Open Controlsyeah I think so too but then I would have 8 players the same as the ML guy I am chasing points off...
Brady is also second ranked MF on the Value(season) index (after Ramsey)Open ControlsI just don't fancy Hull to score many. Same boat with my ML leaders, just have to play your own game at this point, long way to go.
Open Controls
I think I might hold on him this week and if he gets jiggy over next game or two I can always bang him in for Barkley or Amalfitano...
Open ControlsYeah, i'm holding anyway until later this week before taking a hit. Have a feeling there might be a couple of injuries in the champions league.
Open Controls
oscar or janu?
if i do janu, i can do wilson > 8.5 (maybe JT) later on.Open Controlswait after Chelsea UCLMatch to get hazrad or Oscar ?
Yay
Nay
or get on of them now
Michu >Open ControlsSimiliar problem mate! If I don't do it now I will have to take a hit to get them in. I'm leaning towards doing it sooner rather than later though.
Open ControlsMichu + 2 M so can get any one but want to wat after UCL may Silva rested and be ready for sunderland he is a very good option too
Open Controls
oscar is rising tomorrow. your call.
Open Controls
All oblivious issues need addressing ?
Would like to go without making a transfer this week -

Can do
Ozil, Zabaeta, Baines Giroud > Walcott, Dawson, Terry, Aguero for a 12 point hit.
Is it worth it? Or could wait til next week and do it for a 8 point hitOpen ControlsI would say that the only reason to take that 12 point hit would be if you were just enjoying changing your team and not actually playing the game for points.
Open ControlsI dont think its worth losing Baines and Giroud anyway. It is highly unlikely that i would make up that point gap in the next gameweek anyway. Think i'll save.

Priceless .....Open Controls
i haf nth against taking hits even for -12. but the transfers u do are either too late or not worthy. ozil has great fixture coming up n walcott not fully recovered may find himself in a benched role temporary..i will wait till he starts..n next match is against manu anw
baines is a sell but to dawson may not worth as tottenham tough fixture..terry is good
aguero is no brainer n i see the need to fund it so maybe baines->a cheap def and giroud->aguero for -4
then do zab to terry next wkOpen Controls
This is my team before ft & 0.3 in bank
Mignolet
Baines, Terry, Dawson, Clyne (Burner)
Ozil, Ramsey, Lallana (Barkley, Siggy)
Suarez (c), Aguero, Lukaku
Questions:
(1) If I bring Silva in then I will have both Aguero & Silva. Is having both a good move or should I just stick with Aguero. I was originally going to bring Oscar in but having second thoughts due to the Newcastle result. Was this just a one-off bad day or a cause for concern?
(2) I watched the Fulham game & Kasami seems to get a lot of accutate/powerful shots away. I'm keen on selling Siggy this week & would Kasami be a good replacement as 15th man. Next week I'm selling Lallana & thinking of buying Cabaye or Schurrle.Open ControlsSup geezers, everyone done with transfers?
Open ControlsMichu + Lukaku --> Januzaj + Aguero with 2FTs?
Open ControlsAye
Open ControlsCheers. Might get Januzaj tonight then Aguero after the CL game tomorrow as he's not rising. It would leave me with Januzaj, Morrison and Arnie in midfield though but I think I'll sort that out when Theo returns.
Open Controls
why Aguero? he'll stop scoring when you get him 😉
Open ControlsWho are your other strikers? Lukaku could easily outscored Kun this week.
Open ControlsSuarez and Benteke.
Open ControlsAhhh I guess yeah I'd lose Lukaku out of those 3 then, reluctantly.
Open ControlsI've got another 24 hours to decide which striker to lose, but Benteke is an explosion waiting to happen.
ThanksOpen ControlsIt's just this one game vs Palace that I'd want Lukaku for, but of course you definitely need Kun. And medium term I think all of the others are better prospects than Lukaku, so probably best to get rid and hope he doesn't cause too much damage this week.
Open Controls
Have 1 FT and .2 in the back need to get rid of Michu but who for ? Januzaj,Ramsay,Sess (but owned by 50% kind of want to stay away
Boruc
Johnson,Williams,Clyne,Murner
Silva,Oscar,Michu
Aguero,Rooney,Suarez(C)
Harper,Brady,Rosenior,Ravel
Any suggestions would be awesome thanksOpen ControlsI'd like to play Barkley this week, but I'm reluctant to drop any of these players to bench.
Ramsey - Özil - Lallana - Silva
Would you drop any ?Open Controlsdrop barkley ..... if you must choose one
Open ControlsThanks. Should I go further to sell him for Januzaj?
Not sure if he's good pick. I also consider Ravel and Kasami for this slot.Open ControlsYou have your 4 mids for next week so no need to transfer for a player you're going to bench anyway. Keep your powder dry on your mids til gw12

Its just not destined to work for him. What a pity, an injury comes his way now.

The importance of captains
Fair to say i have had a terrible season and have never until now been happy with my team. Feel very lucky to be placed around 33,000. Have just looked through the gameweeks at captains , was very suprised to see how well i have done on them . Only one fail in ten weeks/
How do you all compare? I have a feeling if captains didnt get double points i would be much further down the rankings has have been saved week after week
16 Hazard
14 Soldado
12 Walcott
12 RVP
4 Giroud
16 Rooney
12 Suarez
34 Suarez
36 Aguero
Total 156 points or an incredible average captain score of 15.6Open Controlsavg score 12.2

Some seriously good underlying stats for Berahino again last week..Comparison tool shows 51%-49% in favour of a 60 mins 4.5 mill Berahino against a 90 mins 13.9 mill RVP...
Open ControlsYakuza boy
Open Controls- Morrison boy for nice opponent (Norwich), but away game + with West Ham difficulty to scoring
- Januzaj boy for home game with great potential skill, but the opponent will be the worst (Arsenal).
Maybe I'll know the answer after Januzaj boy appearence at UEFA Champions Leage 🙂Open Controls
Guys need bit of advice.
Kun, Sturridge, Giroud.
Should i get Giroud out for Benteke for a hit? Villa has great fixtures, Arsenal don't. Plus i got Ozil and RamsayOpen ControlsI got rid of Giroud last week for that very reason. Triple Arsenal and triple Everton was too much so I replaced Giroud and Lukaku with Aguero and Benteke. The latter didn't fare too well but he shuld start showing returns again given their fixtures.

Anyone think michu to townsend is a good move? thanks
Open ControlsLittle Poll who will score much more points for next 4 gws ?
A- Hazard
B- Oscar
C- SilvaOpen ControlsMichu and Ozil > Silva & Hazard or oscar in for - 4
then get Ramsey Later Morrison > Ramsey ?Open ControlsNo. Not worth a hit. Move Michu for someone cheaper and then upgrade another player next week.
