Paul 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:
Could Navas be the one midfielder who finally delivers from that 8m waste land? The price is great.
check his home record. 7 starts 2 goals 6 assists
Why are people even looking at Messi's suit? 😕
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-25728213
he looks like he could be frank lampards more flamboyant brother
He? Who the hell is HE? Look to the left
As the best player on the planet, he can look how he wants, even 'arry's nephew.
Im thinking of having 3 City players for this weekend.
Negredo Dzeko Navas..
Is that Silly ?? Cause i could change my mind just as easily
Neg/Dzek likely to be affected by Aguero.
Definitely not silly though, but I'd personally just go for 2 max in the case of a resilient Cardiff team.
Of all the city players, those are among the worst.
Sorry if this has already been discussed, but why is Evra yellow flagged?
repost
this article on hudson doesnt clear anything up...... OGS praised him for the newcastle win but didnt want to get drawn on his future gametime after the whm defeat 😕

"Manchester United boss David Moyes has held talks with Juventus over a planned double move for 20-year-old Paul Pogba - who left Old Trafford 18 months ago - and fellow midfielder Arturo Vidal, 26."
Probably old news to you all but still exciting!
Pogba felt he deserved to play regularly but Fergie didn't think he was good enough I think. Also Juve were willing to give him a bigger salary - you know what Fergie's like with young player wages (hence why Ravel left)
Pretty typical reason, don't think Fergie realised he was mature beyond his years at 19
Might be less exciting for them heading to Man Utd this season.
Exciting, but likely to happen in the Summer me thinks.
debateable whether it's news
lol @ united fans thinking they can get vidal and pogba
like you thought you could get fabregas last season
Moyes will waste the whole transfer window trying to sign them and end up panic buying anichebe for £15m
Could see Pogba moving but not Vidal
Noticed the guy leading FPL took a -8 last week, are hits really that bad if they are for a long term gain?
The people who post that hits are bad are dinosaurs. But probably doing better than me 🙂
Total nonsense myth, good hits are good, bad hits are bad
Haha, I like that good hits are good, bad hits are bad...just makes sense really. Cracking score this week with a cheeky wee hit in there
All hits are equal but some hits are more equal than others!
I have taken 6 hits this season and got a green arrow every week,i don't fear hits one bit.Only ones i wouldn't do is take a hit for a defender/keeper (no point in doing that),but mids forwards yeah why not
Yeah I agree with the no hits for defenders idea too, when you calculate it they really need to score to make it worth while but again if it's for the longer term and it means you can get an Aguero in your team for example maybe it would work hmmm (thinking out loud sorry)
What were the transfers: Walcott, Rooney and ???
I was all for latminute.com'ing my WC but now I am not so sure. Those that are still holding on - what are you waiting for?
Thoughts on this WC draft, good people:
Shezz, Boruc
Coleman, Terry, Koscielny, Clyne, Chester
Januzaj, Silva, Ramsey, Eriksen, Hazard
Agüero, Suárez, Sturridge
?
BOOTIFUL !!! love it
WC active. How can I work Eriksen in? Be crazy and go w/o Coleman for the rest of the season? I realize the standard way is to lose one of the three big defenders. Or I could do Yaya+Gnabry > Eriksen+Wilshere.
???
Mannone, Boruc
Cole, Koscielny, Coleman, Vlaar, Ward
Yaya, Hazard, Lallana, Gnabry, Ki
GAS
With Walcott injured, Giroud knackered, Arteta injured and CL/FA cup leading to more injuries/fatigue, Arsene will surely bring in a forward. I think it will be
1) out and out striker
2) winger who can play up front
3) maybe even both of the above
What do you think and how will this affect Ramsey? especially for those holding a midfield spot for him
Nice attempt at steering rivals away from \giroud 😉
2
i disagree with the giroud knackered point though
've been pondering Rooney today... I'm thinking he is my priority issue to fix this week before I WC next.
The options I see:
Aguero - Self explanatory, but is 3 City too much? (Neg, Silva) Will obviously wait until tomorrow
Giroud - I have no Arsenal, and Fulham have been handing out the goals. Still not sold on his personal abilities, but with the support he get's it's a hard option to pass up
Sturridge - No problems coming back from his injury, a goal and assist in his 25 minute run on make him look appetizing
Benteke - The differential (I assume most of ownership is in deadteams) Feels very knee-jerky though and Villa look dreadful
Keep Rooney - Will Moyes be pressured to play him @ Chelsea? Feels risky and a bad fixture, but allows me to address other issues that may not resolve by Sat (Distin Silva Sterling among others)
Realistically I will go with one of the 2 former options, but would like some input please.
For just next 3 who is better :
A- Wilshere ( Fulham (H) -- Saints (A) -- Crystal Palace (H) )
B- Lallana ( Sunderland (A) -- Arsenal (H) - Fulham (A) )
Wilshere just short term then get back to Ramsey
Play Chester (away norwich) over januzaj (away chelsea) this weekend? Norwich looks so bad
If you are still in the Cup and you are NOT wildcarding, would you change your mind mind if you saw your opponent was wildcarding this week?
No.
Anyone here thinking they will win the FPL Cup is having a laugh.
Could come up against a Wcer in any round.
Only two more weeks to worry about that.
Not true, many still have their first wc. They are probably out of the cup though 😉
So not true. Plenty just make a team for the Cup.
Either way, I have two WC to play.
But defeat is inevitable. Already 1 in 24 to get this far and have to do this another 3 times!!!
If we all thought like that we wouldn't play FPL in the first place
The Cup draw is random. Hardly the same thing.
Well that's my dreams shattered
What's up with Silva? Did Nasri->Silva yesterday 🙁
Palace's Parr, anyone know if he's keepin that place? Lookin to cash in my Gabby chips.
Would love to know!

Another chance to get a mention in the Community Round Up. 😀
Think I'll sort this out the now... 🙂
You should be banned along with Thomass for private league spamming
Give me a bit of info on the Elite 64 one, if you'd be so kind, TM...
Flag button is there if you have an issue.
😛
Stupid question but what does the 58- 339 stuff mean
@Giggs Boson if you are still about mate,hats off fella (triple Everton defence) WOW ,You my man are flying...ON IT 🙂
Cheers Koneheads. You're having an even better season though, great work! 🙂
Thanks GB,was on a bot of a downer last night after the gooners game,thought i had a good diff in Caz,but he wore me out last night,onwards and upwards as they say....All good stuff
Looked at your rise the last 2 weeks,fooking tremendous work going on there,keep it going bud,well in.
Two quite odd transfers for Hull so far, not on the part of Hull but by the selling clubs. Not too bothered about WBA because if they haven't the sense to play Berahino then they deserve everything they get..but what about Jelavic ? Needs to be remembered that Lukaku is only on loan so they have in effect sold their only genuine striker (!)...Could they have somebody lined up ?
Really tempted by this 4-3-3 WC team but it leaves me with the world's worst bench:
Mannone/Boruc
Coleman/Cole/Kos/Kolarov (Ward)
Hazard/Gerrard/Silva(2x4.3m)
Suarez/Sturridge/Aguero
And I'm usually one for a balanced squad. Or is the bench there for a reason?
That bench will be your ruin imo. Any of Kos, Kol, Cole, Gerrard & Sturridge could be downgraded a tad to improve one of those 4.3m mids. Kol & Cole are not nailed on so you would occasionally be needing your bench I reckon. However you know what your doing and it may be a risky differential but not for me.
I think you may well be right. Like I say, I'm usually one for a balanced side and that one most certainly isn't. I suppose I could do Silva->Navas and upgrade 4.3
The mind games of being on your WC.
Absolutely, not planning in doing mine till gw24and it keeps changing. Considered Kolarov before he went up last night but resisted the temptation. Btw I didn't mean to include Koscielny in that initial reply.
I've had Kol last 2 Gnu and so far so good, He seems like he is making that spot his and he us capable of good returns but will be rotated here and there. So far so good. How's tricks ?
He is, but I don't think he'll make my wildcard team. Having a really frustrating season again, how about you?
Sorry for the delay Gnu, Yeah, much the same , very patchy but starting to climb my mini leagues at work. Jan wildcard is shouting at me so might make some changes this week.
Watching some of my wildcard picks rising in price but I'm determined to hold off as team isn't/wasn't in too bad a shape. Life being good to you then.
Yeah not bad mate, Just workin away doing the usual stuff watching Terry Butcher trying to sort Hibs out. Should take a few years. ;-p.
Folks, do you think Coutinho will be the one who loses their place to Sturridge?
Yes. Sterling has done enough to keep his place. Coutinho likely to play if Rodgers is worried about midfield but there aren't to many of those fixtures coming up. Will be 4-3-3 most games I think.
Down Ramsey, DOWN BOY
Neither but if you need the extra funds downgrade Terry to Azpi
Where's RONH's comment gone?
I was just gonna offer him a tweezers to help 🙂
