We dig into the weekend data now, with the first of our weekly articles for members. Under the radar this time are City’s Spanish frontman, the Cardiff midfield, Everton’s full-backs, Sunderland’s wide-boy and the new role for Liverpool’s captain:
*repost, bottomed
Hey guys, could I get some advice on my WC plan?
WCing next GW to this:
Boruc Jakupovic
Terry Koscielny Coleman Ward Hudson
Ozil Silva Hazard Gerrard Ki
Suarez Lukaku Bony
I'm punting on Bony who has FUL whm CAR, before getting Aguero back in before Norwich (A) by downgrading Terry (most likely) to Azpilicueta. Have the funds to do it. Should I just get Aguero in on the WC next week? Also, not sure about the 4th mid. Don't really fancy double Chelsea or Arsenal. Sorry for the long post
it looks like Boruc and Marshall rotate pretty well. Does anyone have the rotation sheet?
Others going with Boruc, have you considered Marshall (ahead of mannone or other keepers)??
So the big question is ASS or GAS.
Goodnight guys...dont go making any crazy theorems without me
Am I the only one wanting to take a chance with Navas? Should be starting regularly now
Don't want triple City attack with their upcoming blank and Silva and Aguero/Negredo are simply better options. Well worth a punt though.
The Manchester Derby in GW28. The league cup final is then, so unless West Ham turn around a 6-goal deficit (LOL) then it will be a blank.
Thinking too far ahead for my liking!
Can it be played midweek the same gw or is it champs league or summat?
Even in that unlikely scenario, United might go through.
I would be swapping him with Silva if I got him in. Too much injury clouds around Silva and it frees up a good amount of cash
might just be another Wilshere
Why did he only play 39 mins on the weekend? Come off the bench or subbed 😕
Kosc, Sagna or Gibbs?? Best, most certain Arsenal defender.....
Here is one for you, when picking a squad, do you just play the fixtures and form, or do you consider coverage, i.e picking the top player from each team in an attempt to maximise your bonus points potential and diversify the risk?
For instance, if you were WC'ing now, the temptation would be to load up on Arsenal, City and Liverpool players for their fixtures. By doing so, your playing the odds, but limiting your BAP potential (and putting your eggs in three baskets, albeit good, sturdy baskets!).
Just curious 🙂
Is Gnab worth getting in the short term or should I spend my transfer money elsewhere?
I don't buy into 'coverage.' I believe you choose the players who will score the most points regardless of what teams they play for. Don't pick sub optimal players just to spread them around teams.
But if u aim to get the top player from each of the decent sides..... U need coverage IMO when a good side plays a poor side. U need to cover captaincy options.
No. You just need Suarez, Aguerro, and say Hazard. Suarez is going to be captain most of the time anyway.
This is a point, currently City, Arsenal and Liverpool have the stand out fixtures, So if you were picking a squad today, do you load up on 2 attacking players from each and play the fixtures, or do you just pick the best player from each of them and diversify the rest, from the likes of Spurs, United, SOU etc?
Currently, I think the captaincy question is covered by Suarez (and Aguero), so imo it is not too relevant this year, well so far.
Not too worried about coverage. Happy to put 3 eggs in a quality basket
Will Aguero rise in price before the cardiff game?
If he plays/scores against Blackburn, then certainly.
Team for this week, would you WC?
Howard
Sagna - Chester - Ward
Silva - Oscar - Eriksen - Ozil
Lukaku - Adebayor - Suarez(c)
------ Sterling - Ridgewell - B. Turner
Am I the only one that will go through with getting Ramsey if he's declared fit?
Are you confident he will play the full match though? And will he still have the same form from earlier in the season?
Highly doubt it
alot of ppl have mentioned him in WC teams this week.
I'm holding ozil until we see a few games from ramsey, be tough to replicate his form straight up
Am I the only one believing that Natalie Portman will say yes to me?
Without a doubt
Touche. If he were to posit something like "Hey Nat, I'm one ugly mofo ay?" then a yes is quite likely
Hey I know you. Are you an orphanage? I wanna give you kids
Who could refuse Salma?
Your team isn't linked. How can we tell?
Am I the only one....
The only what ??
that can taste the smell of frozen cardboard?
Lols and upvotes to the above.
I am playing my WC. Is it too early to have Ramsey in the team? What could be a replacement? I have no other attacking player from Arsenal. Ozil is too expensive and disrupts the balance of the team. Wilshere seems knee-jerk, but allows Azpil > Terry. I am also looking at Cabaye, Mirallas or Januzaj (again upgrading Azpil to Terry, Clyne to Fonte)
Speroni | Marshall
Coleman | Mertesacker | Azpilicueta | Clyne | Ward
Yaya | Hazard | Eriksen | Ramsey | Assaidi
Suarez | Sturridge | Aguero
If you want him just get him now. He'll be starting very soon if not this week
Rather than Mert & Azpil I'd go with Terry and Koscielney. Koscielney is as nailed on as Mert and Terry is more nailed than Azpil now that Cole is on form again.
I had Mertesacker (and, Yaya) from GW1, so SP of Mert is only 6.0m. Hence I can't afford Terry if I replace him with Kos. I can however do Cole + Kosc, and change over to Ivanovic when he returns.
Alternate: Azpil > Kolarov (Clyne, Ward, Assaidi being a decent bench). In that case, I can have Cech as my only GK.
2nd alternate: Azpil > Cardiff def. Marshall / Speroni > Hart / 3.9m. Coleman > Baines
How about lallana until Ramsey gets 90 mins and shows his early season form. Soton have good fixtures and he is bang on form - then you can decide between Eriksen and Lallana for who to drop to meke space for Ramsey
If you could be any animal what would you choose to be?
Rabbit obviously 😉
No way. You would never be an animal.Natalie is a vegan and would never eat an animal.
Oooh fun fact. Thank you.
I'm a vegetarian too. Wouldn't take too much effort to become vegan. Ok that's between you and me Barney.
Natalie, anything for you. Babyyyy.
the anteater in the razzamatazz ads
not razzamatazz but still valid

Nice one
A liger
You know what would really turn Natalie Portman on don't you?
Just send her the latest draft of your wildcard team!
Now THIS is proper deadzone!
Girls dig money. But Natalie is something else!
She breathes style
She craves swag
She likes pretty guys who win corners in big ball games
Natalie needs El Nino. That's right.
Natalie I love youuuuuuuu
Oh Natalieeee I lurrrrrrve you
Really hoping Wenger can pull off the Draxler deal
Hasn't he got enough midfielders already?
I would love for him to come!
Haven't been reading these transfer rumours - always BS
Best 4th mid that rotates well with JRod?
If you don't ask you'll never know !
Or as my wife says,"If you don't know I'm certainly not going to tell you".
I seem to remember when we did the official FFS champios league of actresses Natalie Portman went out at the quarter finals.
Biased Americans and Aussies I tell you. No class.
The winner was.....Eva Mendes beating Scarlett Johansen in the final
Salma went out in QF or SF too.
Shambles.
When my wife found the peice of paper where I had tallied up the scores the next morning I did get some questions about it
#pairoftarts
So much this.
Natalie = best of both worlds (suave + acting)
If Draxler went to Arsenal and cam in at 8.5 or lower, he would be in my team faster than you could say "who needs RvP"
No way he'd be that cheap. More like 10
Would still be a decent shout if playing every week
I hope not but I think I still would want him in my team even at that lofty price, the sky is the limit on his potential
Great player and has a name like a Bond villain.
Sir Hugo Drax - well spotted Cheeseoid!
When posting a question just ask yourself a question first. What would Natalie Portman do?
Going to wait a week for my WC but am exploring options.
Boruc K.Davis
Coleman Mertesacker Bardsley Chester Ward
Silva Hazard Ramsey Lallana Januzaj
Aguero Suarez Sturridge
1.4m
(although might have different backup keeper, Chester->Fonte, Sturridge->Giroud)
Whilst we're at it.
Imagine you know this girl (imagine its Natalie Portman to bring out the best in you) in the bar is a massive Fantasy Football addict (too easy you say?).
Give us your best FF pick up line.
Can I just say that I am very much in favor of the new quote below
Thoughts on keeper situation at West Ham??
Was going to bring in Jussi for WC but he's been rotated a bit with Adrian lately...will this will be a time share or is he nailed on?
Cheers
Managed to spend every quid in the bank for this wildcard draft. Would love an opinion!
Mannone - Adrián
Koscielny - Kolarov - Clyne - Chester - Ward
Özil - Hazard - Silva - Cabaye - Pozuelo
Suarez - Aguero - Giroud
keep rooney or transfer him out for aguero?already have silva
