The Scoreboard presents the Fantasy Premier League information you need from the day’s matches all on one screen, including the current top five BPS (Bonus Point System) standings from each match (provisional Bonus Point earners are in bold). Actual Bonus Points will be shown when added – all points are provisional until then.
WC played. Burner dropped (possibly picked back up), Chester hammy, Coleman hammy. Great. Down to two and a half defenders in a week. 2 transfers made already this week.

what do you make of it Demi?
and did you see my post on the previous page?Open ControlsNo idea what to make of it. Assumed Jose wouldn't sell to united before, but he must not see us as rivals anymore 🙁
Open ControlsAnd yeah saw it. Lots of issues like you say. Personally i blame the defensive solely for Sunday + Welbeck's miss. Not sure what Moyes can do really, it's the players mainly. He's made some mistakes in terms of transfers + he obviously doesn't yet have the motivational skills that Fergie did. Will personally just wait till the end of the season to judge. Top 4 easily do-able with both RVP/Rooney coming back now.
Open Controls
Can you imagine Mata consistently dropping balls onto RVP and rooneys feet, Goal fest
Open Controls
Where exactly would we play him? We already have Kagawa who doesn't fit into team, what good is one more similar player going to do (even though he's an amazing player)?
Open Controls
Slight gap in class between Kagawa and Mata. Hopefully he'd be played attacking mid to make the most of his talents.
Open Controls
Hopefully Mata, Rooney & Januzaj can be a more dynamic trio behind Van Persie.
Open ControlsIndeed that's the only way but it basically means changing the whole ethos of a club that has wingers ingrained in its culture. Very hard thing to do IMO. Easier to just buy good wingers.
Open ControlsYou don't see too many traditional wingers these days. A majority are inside forwards and the full-backs provide width, we've yet to change from the 'old fashioned' system and playing a bog standard 4-4-2 really isn't helping.
Open ControlsI agree that it's not as common anymore, I'm just saying that it would be very hard to change this overnight. In theory, it seems much more exciting having a CM to sit next to Carrick and playing Kagawa, Rooney, Janujaz behind RVP but you need to re-educate the squad as they've been playing like that for their whole careers (those who have been at United anyway) so it's very difficult.
Open Controls
but it worked at Everton
Open Controls
maybe this is what Moyes is planning, Kagawa/Januzi, Roo and Mata behind RVP?
Open Controls
making room in my midfield right now...
Open Controlswhy, it makes no sense, he is similar type player to Kagawa
Open Controls
If I was a rich football team owner…? Possibly.
I think he's worth more £25m now he's not been playing though.Open Controlsnah.... but hes still got way more to offer
Open ControlsNo, a case of Mourinho taking the Mickey, Have Mata for Rooney will be the next offer
Open Controls
no
Open ControlsNo chance. Would give us a very similar player (quality wise) and fill in the last piece of the Chelsea jigsaw, basically handing them the league. (not that have title prospects anymore but still long-term)
Open Controls
37m + rooney would be a pretty good deal for chelsea
Open Controls
no 30m, although he is still a good player. I just don't see how he would fit into the team, as he is a similar type player to Kagawa.
Open Controls
Looking for a few more opinions please, have 1 vote for each.
A) Silva + Januzaj
B) Yaya + Noone
Rest is Haz Eriksen Cabaye(or another sub 8 mid)Open Controls
What do people think about having all of Eriksen Lallana Cabaye as 3 of the 4 starting midfielders each week?
Open Controls
Means only one of Ozil - Gerrard - Haz - Oscar - Yaya - Silva
Open Controls
Silva+3x7m mids is where I'm thinking.
Open Controls
Not a bad shout. Lallana best attacking threat at Southampton just ahead of JRod, Cabaye neck and neck with Remy, Eriksen probably second best to Adebayor. Chances of good points and bonus on a regular basis.
Open Controls
I am going out of the cup on goals scored. Him 1 me 0
Yaya...who else?Open ControlsThe bright side is that you weren't gonna win it anyway so it doesn't really matter.
Open ControlsRemy, Cazorla and Aguero for me so the adventure continues… Never got this far in the cup before, don't even think I've been beyond the 1st round before.
Open ControlsI went out to Aguero(c).
Open Controls
Won this week by least goals conceded. Doesn't really feel like a victory.
Open Controls
Can I have some inputs to my wc team?
Boruc - Davies
Azpi - Kosc - Williamson - Olsson - Ward
Cazorla - Silva - Hazard - Cabaye - Noone
Suarez - Bony - AgueroOpen Controls
I wouldn't mind loaning Mata to United with some kind of clause to buy Rooney in the summer (which might anyways happen if Utd dont make top 4)
Bonus is Utd have ars and MCI to come.Open Controls
Just no
Open ControlsThe Special One has spoken.
Open Controls
Not the best way to start a negotiation there 😉
Win-win. You get top 4, we get Rooney in the summer.Open Controls
No way! Rooney stays at all costs!
Open Controls
So let me get this straight...United get a loan of Mata, then have to give him back AND sell them Rooney?
Open Controls
Weird FPL fact of the day:
The player with the highest goal involvement who's played 900 mins or more is........
.....Jordan Mutch (70%)!Open Controls
😯
That is a ridiculous percentageOpen Controls
missed on a 'mutch' pun. tut tut 😉
Open Controls
Thoughts on Nolan? Great fixtures, Carrol back and well rested. They have to step up, fighting for survival.
Open Controlsstep away from the computer
Open Controls
What a strangely uninspiring game..or was it me..Lukaku looked a bit average..anybody taking the points and running ?..other than that West Brom were rubbish for most of it...Good summary ?
Open ControlsYeah not explosive enough. Only if I kept Ade instead of him 🙁 MNF argument won it for me.
And up to 6.7m good midfielder according to your magic tables? Nollan maybe? What do you think about him?Open ControlsI'd wait for Carroll to show some sort of form first and then look at it..Carroll would be my pick at WHAM..close to zero ownership and working with Nolan and Ravmo together..if they can keep Ravmo happy that is. I think they may come good both at the back (obviously) when injuries clear up and up front.
Open Controls
Agree. Was looking forward to it and Everton looked lacklustre.
Lukaku would look average when his team mates ignore his every move!Open ControlsBoth teams were rubbish. Lukaku has been rubbish for a while now
Open Controls
Not really no.
I think Brom deserved credit taking on a tier team and showed spirit to bring the game level.
Everton surprised me with a lack of quality and desire that made the two teams look like mid table Prem teams which essentially they both are.Open Controls
rooney offski
Open ControlsI reckon he leaves in the summer. To chelsea is where the safe money is. Nice little move down to London to expand the Rooney brand.
Open Controls
This is an attacker's game that being said the value I got from Coleman was priceless. Had him from day 1 and I will hold onto him. Being sentimental doesn't work in this game but this time I will try it.
Open ControlsMore on Cabaye
Found this on a french site: http://www.maxifoot.fr/football/article-20779.htm
Le PSG et Newcastle auraient trouvé un accord à hauteur de 26 millions d'euros pour le transfert à Paris de l'ancien Lillois de 28 ans, a annoncé Canal+ dimanche soir ! A une condition toutefois : le club anglais ne serait enclin à laisser partir Cabaye qu'après avoir recruté le milieu offensif de Montpellier, Rémy Cabella, a ajouté la chaîne cryptée !
Quick translation - 26m Euros. Will only be sold once Newcastle have a replacement signed. Targeting Cabella from MontpellierOpen ControlsCabella is going to Newcastle in the summer it seems so most likely means that Cabaye will go in the summer. Suits Cabaye as well as it guarantees him a spot in the WC squad due to regular football, suits Newcastle cause they keep Cabaye for another 6 months and well, PSG? They don't really need him to win the league anyway!
Open ControlsWell it said 6hrs ago on the page… so kind of breaking where I found it…
Open Controls
Adebayor for me. Tottenham look like they are playing some great attacking football and he has the services of Eriksen behind him. Swansea just seem lacklustre and tired. I think Bony is a talent but he's been reduced to potshots from afar on too many occasions.
Open ControlsGreat question. I go Bony as the Swans ease their best players back.
Ade is temporary resurgence. imo..Open Controls
I like them both but bonys short term fixtures are better
Open ControlsBony
Open Controls
Pulled the trigger. Wildcard madness ensued. Here's my current state of affairs:
Mannone - McGregor
Koscielny - Aziplicueta - Bardsley - Ward - Turner
Hazard - Yaya - Eriksen - Lallana - Januzaj
Suarez - Aguero - Adebayor
Considering a tight budget, I'm quite happy with that. Will have to shuffle the defence to get coleman back in though.Open Controls
Standard. Two of my poorest weeks have been upon playing my wildcard. It gets better next week though.
Open Controls
Has Aguero hit his price rise limit this week or is there another .1 to go?
I might need to go for him tonight if so.
Out = Ozil and Negredo
In = Aguero and 7.6 Mid (??? who)
I have Hazard, Oscar, Cabaye, JanuzajOpen Controls
Lallana
Open Controls
Any news on Shelveys knock yday?
Open ControlsScouts on here are quiet on that one. I asked the question before with no response.
Open Controls
For the avoidance of doubt, points awarded in-game are subject to change up until one hour after the final whistle of the last match of any given day.
What time did the whistle go?Open ControlsPlease rate my WC squad. Any thoughts welcome.
McGregor, Harper,
Coleman, Chester, Koscielny, Ward, Clyne
Hazard, Silva, Cazorla, Cabaye (if not sold), Snodgrass,
Suarez, Aguero, CampbellOpen ControlsSnodgrass to a cheapie and get a better striker. You basically have one free slot for any in form strikers and you need to use it.
Open ControlsBut I can't reach any kind of funds for a decent one.
Someone said downgrade Cazorla and upgrade the striker… could do that.Open Controls
OK due to popular demand:
Boruc (Mannone)
Terry, Mert, Zab, Bruce, Ward
Haz, Oscar, AJ, Cabaye, Puncheon
Suarez, Aguero, Ade
1.7 in the bank
Oscar becomes an Arsenal mid o maybe Erikson after one game, AJ probably gets shipped after 3 games
RMT!Open ControlsI like it. Would like to have a City mid considering how many goals they score but other than that seems solid enough with a very good backline.
Open ControlsNo one has more than about 25% goal involvement though, and i don't really rate their next 3 fixtures. Maybe for AJ in 3 weeks time.
Open Controls
Oooh Mata to Utd rumours in the Telegraph. That would be nice from an FPL perspective (and a fan's).
Open Controls
Nice for Chelsea. Loan out their best player to spank all of the title competition
Open Controlsnot really, Mata is a simlar type play to Kagawa who does nit fit into the club. Why, because Rooney plays in the hole and will never be dropped and Utd play with wingers, so Mata would be forced to the wing and be ineffective.
The only way i could see Mata and Kagawa being utilised effectively, is changing playing style to wide play, to a more central dynamic play with 3 CAMs behind RVP, with the full backs giving width. But i can't see us changing our style.
And we still need a decent CM, a Modric style player.Open ControlsMata played on the wing very well for Valencia, and already has proven Premier League pedigree. It pains me to say it, but Kagawa has failed to shine when given his opportunities and the style of Utd and/or the Prem just doesn't fit his way of playing. I personally think Mata would drop into the team anywhere in attack and deliver the goods as long as he had adequate cover defensively.
But yeah we definitely need a CM as well. But Mata wouldn't be a bad signing imo (it probably won't happen either lol).Open Controlsgood point, maybe it is time to free Shinji. He is a great player and i will always rate him, but he just doesn't fit into Man U.
Mata will be ok on the wing but i would rather buy a decent winger over Mata, simply because thats the way Utd playOpen Controls
In the future just be forthcoming and post "I know i have a good score for the week, but need your social acceptance, so please tell me how good I've done"!
Open Controls
77 hear! 🙂
Open Controls
Yes, I heard 😉
Open Controls
I'm on 28 points, you do the maths!!!
Open Controls
Thoughts on this WC team. Binned Coleman and Lukaku so am losing a lot of value there but I like this: Boruc (K Davis), Baines Kosc (Collins/Mariappa/Rosenior), Hazard Lallana Cabaye Eriksen (Noone). Suarez Aguero Sturridge
Open ControlsNeeds Silva/Yaya IMO
Doesn't need SturridgeOpen Controls
Cabaye or AJohnson?
Open Controls
Lugano nailed on under new manager?
he's goal scoring machineOpen Controls
