Cheeky Dogba. I'm down by 9 goals after 1 leg and next week it's his Baines, Azpi, Chester/Dann, Silva vs my Evra, Ivan, Kolarov, Gerrard. That's pre trannies. Gonna be hard to make up the diff with such similar teams

Green Arrow! I mean, i'm watching Arrow right now. Caity Lotz is so hot.

AN INTERESTING OBSERVATION----
After DGW most top ranked teams look almost exactly the same. Seems like getting the captain correct this week will be incredibly huge in H2H or last man standing competitions.Open ControlsCheeky Dogba. I'm down by 9 goals after 1 leg and next week it's his Baines, Azpi, Chester/Dann, Silva vs my Evra, Ivan, Kolarov, Gerrard. That's pre trannies. Gonna be hard to make up the diff with such similar teams.
Open ControlsThere should be a season long H2H competition for everyone on FFS next season. Or was there one already this season? (my first time playing)
Open ControlsWe used to have massive H2H leagues with promotion and relegation etc. Was just too much work with too little time for Andy
Open ControlsThat sounds like a lot of fun. I personally find H2H more exciting than classic over the whole length of the season. It's kinds of like a cup competition only with room for a few stumbles along the way.
Open Controls
Head to head blows. Sorry.....it just does. No point to it really when FPL is more of a marathon than a sprint. It's a somewhat empty concept and competition. Hate the H2H leagues.
Open ControlsIn my mind, the concept only works if you get unlimited trades week in and week out. Otherwise, it kind of goes against the concept of FPL in general.
Open ControlsComplete luck of the draw in h2h. It's a bit of fun when you can banter with your opponents on here though
Open ControlsThe concept of Fpl is to get the most points every week. H2H utilizes this concept perfectly. I you haven't noticed luck is a big aspect of FPL in general be that H2H, OR rank or classic. Sorry if your past experiences with H2h left you scarred
Open ControlsI think I understood what you wrote? Anyways, no H2H experiences ever left me scarred. Just don't like it. Don't like it at all.
Open ControlsI will give you an example of why H2H leagues have their merit. Say youve been completely on a roll for 5 weeks. You moved into 80K from say 800k. In this time you accumulated 5 H2H wins, placing you top of your league. Next week you have an atrocious week, so your OR gets dropped by 100k places, so you have to start clawing your way back up. In H2H you only lost 3 points and have an easier chance of remaining closer to the top.
Now, which system showcases your skill of Fpl better OR(classic) or H2H? There isn't a clear answer, bun outright dismissing one is definitely not it.Open Controls
Na he's right mate. H2H is complete luck of the draw.
Open Controls
A small green arrow... I'll take that...
Only one decision to make this week...
Take out Kos for Azpi or just play Olsson?Open ControlsSame for me mate. Went up about 900 spots. I'll take that after 3 reds in a row. Make the trade imo. No love for Gayhill?
Open Controls
Willian will be back
Open Controls
Has he only been filling in while Willian has been out?
Open ControlsWillian is overrated.....at least as far as to how he fits in with Chelsea. I've watched all the games, and I have yet to be impressed with him. Sure, he does something good here and there and has contributed to some degree, but that's what any player should or would do. Would much rather prefer seeing Schurrle get the starts ahead of him.
Open ControlsI agree, he (Schurrie) seems much more of an attacking player
Open ControlsWillian almost seems like his mind is somewhere else when he's playing. Schurrle is there and in the moment. His finishing is way better than Willian's, and generally speaking, he's simply more valuable to CFC than Willian. That's my take anyways.
Open ControlsI thought Willian was tasked at playing a more defensive midfielder role? Or is just playing crap?
Open ControlsI think he was intended to be more offensive than defensive. Either way, I'm not impressed. Seriously.......anyone on this site.......has he impressed you enough to think he should start ahead of Schurrle? If you answer yes, then I'm watching an entirely different player than you.........
Open ControlsNo I agree with you, my worry is that he wont start over Willian. If he does I will take him in a heartbeat
Open ControlsI figured you were of like mind. I was speaking more to the general populace in regards to Willian. Simply put, Schurrle brings more to the table. Willian shoots about as well as a donkey with no legs.
Open Controls
They are completely different players. Both are quality
Open ControlsOf course they are different. That's not the topic per se. The point for me is that Schurrle is just a better fit in the Chelsea side. Willian.....not so much........
Open ControlsYeah I agree with that. When you have Hazard and Oscar already you need Schurrle's directness, not another Oscar type

It's probably going to be the week where he doesn't do much but we're all afraid not to captain him and moan when our second choice scores big
Open Controls
last time i didn't captain him against spurs.Still feeling the repurcussions
Open ControlsRooney
Open ControlsThis season United at home are so dangerous.If you know what I mean!!!!
Open Controls
Well lads how's it going? Did the hits pay off or not? Wonder who made the most transfers with the biggest reward. Me I didn't take any hits and wishing I did now 🙁
Open Controls
Yes, it paid very well
Lallana to Sidwell(for bench)
Gouffran to Jelavic
Hazard to Yaya(c)
Lambert to SuarezOpen ControlsNice work on the Yaya captain
Open Controls
Chambers to Zabs (could hav been skrtel)
Mata to Gerrard (could have been toure)
-4 overall,ummmmmm I would say it paid okayish.Open ControlsYeah I brought in Gerrard too. Could have also been Yaya 🙁
Open Controls
Took a -8 and ended up with 186
Nasri & zaba were winners, mannone not so much.Open ControlsNice one. Well done
Open Controls
Morning geezers. It's time to clear up the DGW mess.
What would you recommend?
Mannone
Baines Terry Coleman
Yaya Hazard Johnson Sterling
Lukaku Sturridge Suárez
Subs: Adrián Sissoko Chester Dann
Bank - 0.7
2FTs
A) Sissoko > Mutch and play over Sterling
B) A and Baines > Komp
C) Any other move?
Thinking I'll give AJ one more week against a motivation-less Ham side.Open ControlsAnother option is Sterling + Sissoko > Lallana and JWP
Open ControlsI'd keep Baines for their next DGW. Sterling or AJ to go I reckon. I have sterling too and wondering if I should ship now
Open ControlsOn top of Sissoko oI meant
Open ControlsHave Sissoko on top of those 2 as well, so probably needs to go first. Oh the mess 😆
Open ControlsYeah sorry corrected myself there
Open ControlsHow was your dgw fella?
Open Controls
Feels like hangover day. So much effort into that DGW that little thought has been put into what happens after.
Going to have to try to clear head and look at everything from a new perspective. The DGW may of been the biggest battle of the war , but victory is not yet wonOpen ControlsThey can take our points, but they'll never take our FFFFRRRREEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!
Open ControlsNot do too well, I assume? I remember about a week back that you gave me the business because I said I took a -12 for this DGW. Served me well............just sayin'.......
Open ControlsWho were you bringing in? Do you now have a bunch of rabble to shift? Perhaps that was his point
Open ControlsYou want to look at my score before you start gloating 158 after hits and that was with Koshelny
Open ControlsHappy for ya
Open ControlsJust didn't appreciate the "don't start crying if things don't go well" post that you directed at me about a week ago for no reason. Seems you don't appreciate similar posts that target you.......go figure......
Open Controls
Noice!
Open Controls
The enlightener , you look for a fight but you dont even link your team, are too lazy to check your facts and have failed to hit your target .
Open ControlsI don't look for fights on here. Quite the contrary. You, sir, were the one who jumped on my shite in the first place as I referenced. Get a grip.
Open Controls
Like me, by saving the FT this week, it should become clearer after the weekend with flexibility chucked in to.
Open Controlsyep , great week to save one , put it in the bank till the next double
Open Controls
Okay, let's assume Clyne is injured. Who gets the last spot in my XI out of Evra, Snoddy or Chambers?
Open ControlsAlways play a mid and top of that "in form" mid.
Open Controls
I had two choices to make
a)YAYA + Skrtel
b)Gerrard + Kompany
went with B and still not a yaya owner this season.(have silva instead,150 pts nevertheless)
So this week's decision:
a) Kosc out for sure ,replacement either Cahill/Azpi
b) Mirallas/Silva/Gerrard - Is there any need to replace them ?If yes then who's the first one to kick out .Open Controls
I don't know if it's trying to include Gerrard or Hull's #1 keeper going down but somehow I put Crouch into my side for a hit. I've never had him before what's his potential FPL wise?
Open Controls
I currently have a template team with Ivanovic, Coleman, Zaba/Kos, Yaya, Haz, L'pool-mid, Sas & Lukaku. It looks like my only "differential" is Mata.
With everyone's teams being so similar, and all captaining Suarez, what's a good way to improve your rank ? I like to think I always have improvements figured out, but my only plan right now is to draft in Baines+ a City attacker(Nasri/Silva/Kun) for GW34. However that's not going to get me anywhere in a hurry.
Is the fpl season 2013/'14 dead already ?Open Controls
The concept of 'differentials' gets warped by spending time on this site where, inevitably, people have very similar teams. The reality is that the Scout represents a small percentage of FPL players, and that team you list can definitely send you up the rankings if it performs. I got a massive rise this week from inside the top 10k with a team as 'template' as you could imagine.
Open ControlsI agree about the "differentials" bit.. But I've been looking at smartypants ownership breakdown in the top 10k and it looks like I have the highest owned 11, except for Mata.. My rank has been roughly unchanged in 2014 and everything just seems a bit vanilla
I'm just looking for a way forward without breaking my team, and thought I'll ask around if people are feeling the same..Open ControlsIf you're in the top 10k and want to know about ownership just go here http://fpldiscovery.wordpress.com/
Open Controls
If I didn't discovered this site at the beginning of this season then I would be making easy choices w/o thinking and easily in top 100k but I refused to be a casual"yaya"owner.
Open ControlsAnd I'd probably have more invitations to parties on the weekends instead of my friends having given up on me as "that weirdo who watches Villa v/s Stoke on Sundays 😉
Open ControlsTrick with differentials is to do it slowly. You just need one player that few people have to make that difference.
Dont start throwing out Suarez etc , will just end in tears. Baines is a good one i think. Could bag a hattrick and a clean sheet in same match (unlikely but possible)
A few years ago Hangeland took me from 10,000 into the top 1000 during last few weeks of season.
Another year it was Asso-Ekotto
It dosent take much , just need a bit of luckOpen Controls
There's limited spots for differentials without going backwards. They are there though
Open ControlsIs Michu back yet?
Open Controls
G'morning BL! I'm usually a lurker but it's slow going so i thought I'll say hi 🙂
* slinks away *Open ControlsEllo Blues Clues 🙂
And ello Enzo the lurker 🙂Open ControlsOk mate. Small green after 3 reds in a row so back on course. You?
Open Controls
Hiya Champ ! It looks like you backed a winning horse with Declan .. I'm imagining him sitting on a cushy armchair somewhere throwing a tea party à la the mad hatter 😛
Open ControlsHe owes me a cuppa 🙂
Open Controls
Not so sure about that one. Probably needs some further consideration before you pull the trigger. Liverpool do have some tricky fixtures coming up, but Sturridge is ballin'.
Open Controls
That an easy no
Open Controls
not for a hit. May be worth considering downgrading liverpool attack in the coming weeks though what with the poor fixtures.
Open Controls
So is Barkley nailed on now??
Looking to replace Sterling with a top cheap mid.
He might heat up rest of the way here. He looked good going forward
Or maybe Mutch. Already have Snod.Open Controls
Clearly not nailed on but may be a decent punt for everton dgw34
Open Controls
Evening lads, Acqua's on the UP!
Up to 45k now and trying to sneak into the top 10k by season's end.
Need some opinions for next week:
Mannone Adrian
Baines Ivan Kos Chester Ward
Haz Yaya Gerrard Snoddy Noone
Suarez Sturridge Lukaku
1 FT, Bank: 0.3
A) Kos > Azpi (plan to ship Ivan for Kompany for DGW)
B) Save and play Chester(away to Stoke) -will Chester keep his place in starting XI after that OG?
Cheers.Open Controls
Kos is out 2-3 weeks, not sure if it is wise to keep him on bench Acqua.
I'd go for A
Good work on green arrow btw fellaOpen ControlsCheers.
Yeah leaning toward getting Azpi, since I'll be ditching Ivan and I still want Chelsea defensive cover.Open Controls
If you reread your post i think two plans form
A) Save
B) If you want Kompany , get him now , it will save a future transfer
I would go with plan A and see how you feel next weekOpen ControlsYeah the thing is I only have 5.8 to spend on Kos replacement (or I'd go for Komps straight away).
So you recommend saving transfer or doubling on Chelsea defence?
Saving means playing Ward(CHE) or Chester(stk)(who may be dropped)Open Controls
Ive got almost that same back line (coleman /cahill for baines/ivan) and am saving and playing chester
Azpi could easily get the cleansheet this week but i think transfers are worth saving ready for next DGW, especially if aguero stakes a claim as you will want to give yourself the flexibility to go hard and get him in if you serious about catching 60 points to hit top 10kOpen Controls
Well i think template is good.Protects you.But i think at this late stage of the competition the best way to chase points is by loading up on the right players for the DGWs..and trying to get your captaincy right.imo this is not the time to go differential. Best differential i can come up with is Eriksen. But that is at your own risk.
Open ControlsEriksen, you say ... 😉 Interesting idea, now with Europa out the window. I must opt for a membership next season so I can pore over Wakey's tables instead of trying to figure out who he's hinting at bringing in
Open Controls
Thinking of doing Silva > Oscar/ Shurrle........Who do you reckon will start out of the two?
Open ControlsDont do it
Open ControlsWould you do anything to this?
Mannone
Evra Baines Chester
Silva Yaya AJ Gerrard
Dzeko Suarez SturridgeOpen ControlsChester > Coleman
but assuming you cant afford that id save, you will want silva and yaya for the remaining DGWs
I dont like dzeko when aguero fit, too much rotation, but that may never happen so no point changing now
Evra maybe needs to go before 34 (maybe for Coleman) but great fixture this weekOpen ControlsCheers, guess I'll save my transfer for next gw....
