The Suspension Tightrope – Galling

2 FTs to make... wondering if I should just make them now.. what do yall think?

Boruc Davis
Clyne Coleman Walker Rat Chester
Silva Hazard Ozil Amalfitano Barkley
Rooney Sturridge Giroud

Thinking Silva > Morrison, Sturridge > Suarez... or could do Giroud > Aguero

Worth it to just do it now?

Tough captain options for next GW

a) Suarez - Everton Away
b) Lukaku - Liverpool Home
c) Aguero - Tottenham Home
d) Hazard - West Ham Away

Those are probably my top 4 players. Im thinking Aguero since Man City have really good home form and Tottenham struggling for goals but they don't concede much either. Also can't predict how Liverpool v Everton will go

Studge > Aguero?

I can do it, but I wouldnt if the prices werent changing.

Anyone else think studge's fixtures are better??

Hate getting bottomed out !!
Anyway ,, who wants some serious FPL advice ? been putting out fires everywhere today

Okay. Feck. My worst round so far. And I was seriously waiting for >100 points. 41. forty-fecking-one.

A massive knee jerk. Should I get do Lukaku -> Rémy immediately? Sturridge -> Suarez when it is still possible? I can do both for a hit now, but don't know for how long seen the price changes.

questions for mini leagues

1) Do you play mind games against your rivals?

2) Do you advice them wich transfers they should do?

3) Do you advice them strategies and points hit?

honestly i am doing all off this and sometimes works out brilliantly on the other day not so well

most of ML are not ,,noobs'' and they know something about football so i advice them to get player who wont do as good in my opinion , by exacly this was burned by YAYA this season

but in last seasons i often adviced players like Ramires,Carick.... and my ML was buying them

aslo i told them that they should ,,build up TV and take pts hits'' -this is my favorite , when i check league and see all those minus points every gw

i also advice them to jump on knee jerk and get rid of ,player who dosnt do well at this moment but have great fixures''

i like doing this sort of things and it's fun , but often i am very honest in advices and telling them wich player they should get and C and stuff like that

in pre-season i trying be helpfull as well

Where to go with this. Ideally looking to get rid of Zabeleta for someone more stable as an expensive defender.

1 free transfer, 0.6 in the bank.

Boruc, Mignolet,
Zabeleta, Chico, Turner, Shaw, Collins,
Hazard, Coutinho, Ramsey, Morrison, Januzaj,
Suarez, Aguero, Giroud.

If it hasn't happened yet, you just know that time will come when you have a mega score sitting on the bench who doesn't come in to your team. God I hate when when that happens!

Lost on last page...

Boruc/Foster
Zaba/Toure/Chico/Collins/Turner
Ozil/Brady/Ramsey/Amalfitano/Mirallas
Suarez/Aguero/Lukaku

0.8m in bank with 1 free transfer.

What to do? Do I use my WC?

Thinking about bringing in sessegnon but mark has him ..... Kiss of death?

I was considering selling Migs for Howard come GW16 when Pool have a nasty run of games. However I looked a 3 things, total points, points in comparison to the rest of the defence and saves. Migs has significantly more points than the rest of his defenders, far more saves and the points difference is marginal. Howard has also saved 2 penos to Migs' 1 yet is only 7 points in front.

This seems to be because

a) Migs gets more saves (40 to Howard's 27)
b) The likes of Jagielka and Baines are BP magnets and have more attacking threat

On that basis I have concluded that i am better buying someone like GJ now and then swapping to Jags/Baines later and either persevering with Migs for the save points or swapping for DDG

yess final I manage to win some money on play on..... wow top scorer congrats to other winners : )

Looked awful against SUN.

just used my wildcard
my team is
Krul boruc
Clyne Ridgewell Johnson Coleman Baker
Hazard Ramsey Morrison Ozil Januzaj
Suarz Aguero Remy

I have .2 in the bank
any suggestions

but thanks to most of you guys and fantasy scout for sharing some tips...

Thoughts on Lukaku -> Remy ?

Remy better short term fixtures. Then swap him for Rooney at around GW 14/15.

Gonna do it tonight before Remy rises, or not at all. Take the plunge...?

Drop Stur: Best option pls (Stu going down tonite, seems like this will be a .3 drop this GW , no?

1--FT Studge ag eve > Remy ag NOR so avoid the .3 drop this week for studge
Then in following gw do 1FT at a time to get Rooney and Sess so as to avoid getting hit -4
or
2--HIT -4 Studge > Rooney ag AVL & Oscar ag wha > Sess

The idiots on FIFA who decide they'd rather constantly pause for 3 minutes than play the game they just comitted to.

Down with these sorts of people.

Next GW captains are gonna be a real differential I reckon, there's no clear cut choice like there has been in the last few weeks. The popular choices of Aguero and Suarez will both be coming back off a long trip (Suarez even playing for a WC playoff!), so they could well be both tired and may not be firing on full cylinders. RVP and Rooney are probably the better picks, but Cardiff away will be far from easy. Arsenal players may be worth a punt, they are good at home, especially Ozil! But they will be up against a very decent Southampton who could well get a result there. And then you are into the more 'punty' players like Remy, Benteke, perhaps even Sessegnon or Brady! Any of these could score really well, but it is far from a guarantee.

Who is everyone thinking putting the armband on next GW? I am pretty torn to be honest!

Sturridge going down by 40-50%a day right now. Is there a limit on price drops per gameweek similar to price rises?

GW14 has one day (nov 30th) in November and the rest of the GW on 1st of December - does anyone know if this GW will split for the monthly league rankings (as we have a monthly prize for manage of the month in our paid league)?

If it's split with the Saturday Nov 30th counting towards Novembers ranking then it potentially makes it worthwhile for me to captain someone playing on the Saturday.

Not going to delve into stats or numbers, but I'd just like to share that I've taken a hit almost weekly for the past 4 weeks and it has coincided with a huge change in fortune for the better.
Taking hits to bring in players I think will score well over the next 2/3 games is something I'll continue to do, as I have this week with McCauley and Hazard - although that was forced by injuries to Silva and Reid.
Do you abstain from hits?
I really think it's worth it if you can find the right players

Should I do Giroud to Rooney or Januzaj to Sess/Other mid? Main other players are Suarez, Aguero, Oscar, Ozil, Rambo, Lucas (unfortunately).

The Messi injury means that Aguero will feature in both games for Argentina as opposed to let's say Higuain, Lavezzi and Tevez starting.
Hope he comes out unscathed

finally , my defence looking relativly well for next gw

double Hull , SToke and Chelsa player

i dont like Chelsa player but Hull and Stoke players ,,should'' get me CS in week where so manny teams dont have good defense

interesting too see what will happen and can i get another green arrow based on defenders preformances

Lukaku to Aguero or Remy (and use extra funds elsewhere?)

Migs
Terry Chico Coleman Shaw Wilson
Courtinho hazard Brady Januzaj Ramsey
Rooney Suarez Lukaku

4.6 in bank

Boruc - Lewis

Terry - Dawson - GJ - Nasty - Toure*

Hazard - Ramsey - Silva - Januzaj - Ravel

Aguero - Suarez - Rooney

1.1itb. Oft

Should I do Silva to Walcott, or Toure to Chester/Rosenior this week for a hit. Need both to be done by GW13. Which one for the hit this week?

When is Silva expected to be be back?
Is Silva » Lalana worth it for a hit?

ugh.

Lukaku & Sturridge & Walker -> Suarez & Rémy & Koscielny for 8 point hit?

Optionally Clyne -> Baker instead of Walker -> Kosc

Suarez, Sess or Aguero are my really only options for Captaincy. Maybe Ozil but I'm predicting a blank from him
