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 (potential Bonus Point earners are in bold). Actual Bonus Points will be shown when added – all points are provisional until then.
A) Baines, Eriksen, Silva; or
B) Zabaleta, Gerard, Barkley
A will cost me -4 in hits over next 2 gw going into gw 34
Already have Coleman and Yaya, plan to get Aguero in as well.Open Controls
What would you change in this lot:
Mannone/ Boruc
Coleman/ Baines/ IVanovic/ Flangan/ Ward
Hazza/ Yaya/ Nasri/ AJ/ Ince
Suarez/ Lukaku/ Sturridge; 2 FT, 0.2 in bank
I am thinking of losing Ince/Flanagan....maybe Hazza/ AJ
What would you do DZ?Open Controls
I wouldn't lose Hazard for a start!
Open ControlsJust for discussion: Why not?
In last 10 matches, he has scored 5 Goals & 2 Assists. Except 3 against Newcastle, he has scored 1 in matches where Chelsea scored 4 & 6 goals and 1 was penalty
Yesterday also he looked very anonymous. I know Chelsea fixtures are juicy and he is on penos, but why not someone like Eriksen who is form?Open Controls
Hazard is an explosive player, he can explode at any time and he'll definitely have a few quite games where you're not even sure if he's on the pitch. But then he'll go and score a hattie in the next game and you're fecked.
He's a template player, owned by 39.6% of FPL players, that's a massive amount. If you don't have him, every time he does something, your rank will surely go down.
Plus he has fantastic fixtures till the end of the season. At home to Stoke, after losing to Palace looks like a game I'd want Hazard for.Open Controls- In a team playing for the title
- Great fixtures
- Explosive potential
- On penalties
- Nailed on
- High ownership (if he does well, you don't)
Too risky to go without IMO.Open ControlsFair enough Arvin & Innsie, Hazza stays in
What about Ince? Will you do Ince -> Someone like Delph or cheaper?Open ControlsYeah downgrade him to a cheapie to make some cash. I doubt you'll need to play your 5th mid so go for someone really cheap that plays.
Open ControlsMaybe Ki (4.3m)? With 2 more DGWs, if you need him that might come in handy...
Open ControlsWould you believe that I had Ki throughout the season then sold for Ince for those 2 blanks & Ince did nothing
I think I should swallow my pride get him back. Looks like the best 5th benchable midOpen ControlsOuch. I sold Lallana for Gerrard 2 GWs ago and now I wish I had Lallana back. The joys of FPL 🙂
Open Controls
Ince to Mutch would be great, I'd leave everything else as it is.
Open ControlsI thought about it but Mutch went in price twice whereas Ince dropped like 6-7 times in last 10 days 🙁
Even if I buy Mutch, How often will he play in this team?Open ControlsI guess you probably wouldn't play him over AJ.
Actually he rotates quite nicely with AJ.Have a lookOpen Controls
Knowing what's up with Noone would be cool.
Open ControlsIf he's fittish and coming back into the team, then great. If not, the whole price drop thing blows.
Open Controls
please help me in ufpl
A)play lukaku or sturr
B)play mannoe or adrianOpen Controls
Need to get a defender for Dummet, whom will u prefer? Ward or Kompany or anyone else?
Open ControlsKompany over Ward surely. What's the rest of your team like? Budget?
Open ControlsYou're doing well in my 4 picks draft this week. Mata and De Guzman, good job.
Open ControlsThanx! I have De Guzman in my team, hope I had Mata too 😀
Anyone doing better? I guess I have already crossed 30pts mark in ur draft picksOpen Controls

Can't recall the last time I was on here and it was this dead. Gaz - you seem awake - how'd you do this gw so far?
Open ControlsTell me about it..I looked at the comments ticker box on the right & it was me 7 times out of 10. I felt like I was spamming this place 😳
Open ControlsIt's not but 1:00 here in NYC - just got home from the bars and in the mood to have some chats. How are you doing this weekend mate?
Open ControlsWell, seen better weeks in FPL but I guess 7 points from 4 players ain't that bad 😆
What about you?Open ControlsYikes bad news - sorry to hear. 23 from 5 here, small red but happy with it so far given how things have gone. I am without any shares of Chelsea defense so the Palace goal didn't hurt me. My GW looks to depend on an Everton clean tomorrow as I am with Baines and Coleman.
Open ControlsScrolling up a bit I see you have the same 😉 I would get rid of Ince to a 4.0 and upgrade AJ if I'm you!
Open ControlsThinking that..Had been keeping AJ for extra fixtures but if he doesn't do well today, he is going out
Who do you suggest - for that 4.0 as well as for AJ?Open Controls4.0 all are useless fodder 3rd bench options....if you sell Ince for a 4.0 and get rid of AJ what is your available bank for that mid slot?
Open ControlsAt this point in the season if you are going to be forced to play your 5th mid you've lost the plot. Assuming your 2 benched defenders are nailed you will never have to rely on your 5th mid and those extra .3 - .5 could make a huge difference in your actual starting xi.
That said, the options available for a mid up to 7.3 are poor. May do well to just do Ince to Mutch and start him in gw33 and gw35 as he has good fixtures for those two weeks and give AJ a go in his double for 34?Open ControlsFair enough
I was thinking AJ-> De Guzman & save the extra cash for bringing in Aguero/ RooneyOpen Controls
There's Mannone for that
Open Controls
I've sorted it Gaz, reply box working again now. 🙂
Open Controls
Sterling to eriksen for free?
Open ControlsYes. Did not own him this season 🙂
Open Controls
Still not sold on Eriksen personally. Spurs seem a mess and TS seems to be figuring it out as he goes along. Would watch the game today very closely and maybe make a determination afterwards. Not much in the 6.0-7.0 mid price bracket to be fair at the moment.
Open Controls
meh... like Walsh said, watch today with a discerning eye, then maybe.
Actually, looking at your team, I'd throw sterling into a double transfer with Johnson. Downgrade one, upgrade the other, to boring boring Yaya ToureOpen ControlsNo no no.
I can't have yaya now - he already ruined my season - I shall have aguero and Demi for the Dgw. And AJ has two doubles, and looked threatening in the 30 minutes he played last game. Don't know...Open Controls
I root for Arsenal, but as a sports fan in general, I'm excited by the idea that Stevie G. may finally win a PL title this year. The man has played his heart out this season.
Open Controls
For his loyalty etc i think he deserves it too
Open ControlsSome of the best defending from a midfielder that you're likely to see. That's what makes me a fan of his, this year at least. Same goes for Flamini.
If we still had a "man in the stands" bonus system, Gerrard would/should hover them upOpen ControlsCan't say I agree here.
He has done well enough to hold his own in front of their back four, but he has lost considerable pace and has taken several cards on risky sliding challenges because of this. I don't think he rates among the top of CDMs in the PL today. He more than makes up for it with his offensive contributions, though, clearly.Open ControlsFair points. But, he's not a CDM. Not historically at least, which is why the defensive shifts he puts in impress me so much. On one side of the coin its "rash sliding tackles," and on the other its "throwing your body in the way of danger." He may not always be graceful at it, but he's fearless and committed this year.
Open ControlsAnd you just essentially made both mine and Berbilly's points. He is not a natural CDM. He is doing an admirable job, but he is not among the top in the league at his current position.
Open ControlsWho do you rank as the best CDM's?
(I'm not being combative/defensive... the Interweb doesn't always capture "tone," which is why I felt the need to make a disclaimer).Open ControlsFernandinho, YYT, Matic has looked brilliant at times, Ramires, I love Wanyama even tho he has dropped off recently with his injury problems, Lucas when healthy. Just a few off the top of my head I rate.
Open ControlsTellingly, not a single Arsenal, Spurs or ManU player in there. With all their other talent, this is why their 4th, 6th & 7th.
Open ControlsErr..to be fair....Flamini deserves to be in that conversation I reckon. Bentaleb looks like he may be a real player in a couple of years if he continues to mature as well.
Open Controls
Yeah, I'd agree with Flamini. In general though, Arsenal don't play with an out-and-out DM, but with more box-to-box mids, like Ramsey, Wilshire. Even Arteta is not really a DM. Spurs' midfield has been decimated this season and Utd's is just awful.
Open Controls
*this is why they're
Open Controls
I'd say Matic is the best in the league now, from the few games I've seen him play. Fernandinho, Schneiderlin, Lucas, Tiote and Medel all decent too.
Open Controls
I know where you're coming from, but those "throwing your body in the way of danger" are a direct result of him lacking the positional awareness to prevent the player getting in that position in the first place. The top DMs will intercept a lot of those passes or force the player away from the shooting chance.
Open Controls
Don't know what games you're watching, but in general he's a defensive liability most of the time. His marking and positioning is dreadful. Just as well he's so good offensively that it makes up for these shortcomings.
Open ControlsHmm... I'm surprised to hear two knowledgeable people both say that I've gotten it wrong. I genuinely perceived it differently. I'll pay more attention going forward, I'm open to being wrong. But, I've seen what I've seen (not the most credible litmus test)
Open Controls
Out of Jrod-Lambert-Lallana, whom will u prefer to have in ur team? Why?
Open ControlsLallana.
Third striker spot is very valuable. Lala has been so consistent in his point returns and is so influential and integral to their attack every game. JRod has been terrific for his price, and I have owned him for stretches this year so far, but don't fancy doubling on their attack for the run in. Lambert is prone to the occasional rest and early sub off which turns me off of him.Open ControlsThis.
Open Controls
lallana, due to how competitive that 3rd striker spot is, and how lackluster the other MF options are.
Open ControlsLallana as he is better than almost every other midfielder this season. JRod is not better than Suarez, Sturridge, Aguero, Rooney etc.
Open Controls
Took a punt on Jelavic for DGW31 and am still looking at him in my squad. Am going to keep him for this weekend with SWA on the cards but getting him out right after. Will be looking at about 8.7 / 8.8 for his replacement going into GW34 and am not too keen on Lukaku - any suggestions lads?
Thanks in advance!Open ControlsHard to ignore Lukaku for GW34 but after that, Arsenal fixtures becomes awesome. So sth like Jelavic -> Lukaku DGW34 -> Giroud GW35+
Open ControlsI will not be bringing in that donkey even if they played Fulham at home for three gameweeks in a row 😉
Open Controls
Maybe Benteke, nice fixtures till end, but his performance last night was poor
Or Bony, apart from Luka, dont see any better options in that price range, u can bring Jrod or downgrade to Odemwingie/Crouch to rotate with someoneOpen ControlsYeah Benteke has been on my radar. He can't finish this season though it has been so frustrating to watch him!!!! He should have had a brace yesterday against United. Could do for his double in 37 though. Bony too - he's been bang on form recently. Interesting possible punt on a Stoke striker. Thanks for the input, I will give it a good think.
Open Controls
Why aren't you keen on Lukaku?
Open ControlsAhh my first ever reply fail...
Open ControlsWhy aren't you keen on the reply button? 😉
Open Controls😀
Open Controls
He just doesn't pass the eye test to me. He seems so dependent on service which sorely lacks with this Everton's squad. Even though he is a "beast" in the air, he doesn't seem to get on the end of the countless crosses they send into the box from their fullbacks out wide. Mirallas, Delo, and Barkley are all largely selfish players to me who always seem to just want to shoot every time they get within sniffing distance of the box. I just don't rate him at the moment, and even though he is the obvious choice for the double I don't really want to bring him in.
Open ControlsFair enough. I think at his price he's definitely the best option, unless you want Benteke for his future DGW. The Southampton guys are good picks too.
Open ControlsCheers Innsie. I think deep down I believe Lukaku is the best option as well but I think this most recent scoutcast is still on my mind and I want to do something a little bit different as I own Suarez/Sturr/Haz/YYT......etc.etc.etc.......
Open ControlsNo worries. Only 6 GWs left so time's running up to make ground. I'm doing something a little bit different too, getting Caulker and Nasri in this week. After all, it's just a game 🙂
Open Controls
After I messed up with my team and forgot to hit confirm button, I lost my mind, though on 25pts from 6 players, problem is captaincy, it was on Yaya last week, so got a huge 2 pointer from my captain this week, boruc and cahill on bench 🙁 how can i forget to hit confirm button, damn!
Open Controls
3 knockouts this week. 😛
Open Controls
Seems like a right time to ask this: Would you have Mutch as your 4th playing mid if you can get Rooney/ Aguero up top for the downgrade?
Open ControlsYou know my view on this as per earlier - yes. But also keep in mind how well Cardiff and Sunderland rotate all the way through the final gameweek! If your TV is low and you can't afford a pricier 4th mid option, that rotation at 4th mid spot could be a great way to save funds and still get solid point production.
Open ControlsYep. Decent fixtures.
Open Controls
Morning....
Which 2 trannies to do this week?
1)Adrian to Mannone
2)Nolan to Michu/Eriksen
3)Gerrard to Lallana/Eriksen/Silva/NasriOpen ControlsPost ya whole team.
Open Controls
Morning fellas - best transfer moves with the below this week?
Bank 0.5m, 2 freebies
Mannone
Baines, Terry, Chester
Yaya, Silva, Gerrard, Nolan
Suarez, Sturridge, Lukaku
Gazzaniga, Distin, Williamson, GnabryOpen ControlsNolan out.
Open ControlsKinda thinking I should get Hazard this week, which would mean a downgrade elsewhere.
Perhaps
A) Nolan & Gerrard -> Hazard & 5.8m or below mid, or
B) Nolan & Gerrard -> Hazard & 4.3m or below mid (leaves enough cash for Sturridge -> Aguero in GW34)
Also quite like the look of Eriksen, so could just do a straight
C) Nolan -> Eriksen move, or even:
D) Distin, Nolan & Gerrard -> Ward/Vlaar/Bardsley (sub 4.6m), Hazard & Eriksen (4 points)
Thoughts?Open ControlsDidn't notice no Hazard. Nolan and Gerrard > Hazard and Mutch sounds good but that depends if you're happy playing him every week.
Can you do Williamson, Nolan & Gerrard > Hazard, Eriksen and Chambers/Dann? Think I'd prefer that.Open ControlsNah, I'm 0.3m short of that move 🙁
The Mutch move looks good, just annoying that i'll be 0.4m short of getting Aguero next week. Perhaps do that anyway, or even D), and then plan to take a 4 pointer to get Aguero in for GW34 if he is back?Open ControlsYeah a 4 pointer for Aguero isn't the end of the world. You'll be disappointed if you leave money in the bank for him and then find out he's not even back for GW34.
Open ControlsYeah, good point. Guess it comes down to A) with Mutch or D) then. Bardsley brings an extra DGWer I guess. Hmmm
Open ControlsSunderand's 34 double is crap though. Certainly they will not keep a clean in either of those fixtures and you will likely do better with a player with a single game..just something to keep in mind.
Open ControlsD loses a DGW player in Distin though.
Open ControlsYeah, this kinda goes against the grain, although I'd be benching him this week anyway, and have Baines as cover for EVE defence in the DGW.
Nolan & Sturridge -> Hazard & Dzeko too risky?Open ControlsCould come off! Would pretty much rule out getting Aguero though, too risky for me.
Open Controls
What is your selling value on Nolan? Any chance you can get Lallana in for him without dropping one of your core?
Gerrard obviously out if he gets a yellow...so could be moot this evening.Open Controls7.1m selling value for Nolan, so am short of getting Lallana unforts.
Have listed a few options above - think these are my best ones. Whatcha reckon?Open ControlsI would absolutely not get rid of Gerrard unless he gets a ban. I think he is in the same category as YYT and Hazard at this point. Would consider downgrading Nolan to Mutch to bank funds with an eye to switch Lukaku after his double for maybe Rooney prior to 37?
Open ControlsHe's been a great fpl asset this season, I just can't help thinking he can't keep getting penos and freekicks. Cause them aside he barely gets involved going forwards. Plus he has no double and tough fixtures.
Nolan -> Mutch looks a great way to save cash, slightly concerned at no Hazard this week though - expecting a CHE backlash at home to STO....Open ControlsI overlooked no Hazard in your squad 🙂 would be concerned about that as well. Gerrard has been getting the penos and free kicks literally all season and we are nearing the end - no reason why that should stop. The amount they spend in the box generates a massive amount of penalties. Sounds like you want to get rid of Gerrard though, so just go ahead and do it! Hopefully he gets that yellow and you don't have to think about it much more.
Open ControlsCheers. Another potential move I just spotted that keeps Gerrard is:
Nolan & Sturridge -> Hazard & Dzeko
Obviously a tad risky with Dzeko's gametime, but he seems to have the nod over Negredo at the moment, so could still do well.... Worth the risk?Open ControlsI like the idea a lot but I think you need to select a different striker than Dzeko. Cannot have a non-nailed third striker. Too much of a risk for me. Go with JRod or Bony instead. I actually really like this potential move. Would recommend it.

Morning.
My moan for this morning....
After owning JRod for about 6 weeks and massing close to nothing on points I eventually sold gw28.
Results since...
5 goals in 4 games = 36 points.
Unbelievable.Open Controls
Mata to Yaya?
Open ControlsYep.
Needed to stick to the plan, he's hurt me enough and mata has a blank soon.Open Controls
Same here (on Mata -> Yaya). I put a lot of work into my plan for 32-35, I'm buggered if a goal and an assist is going to turn my head now 🙂
Never got round to transfering JRod out though, and it's not hurt me too much (though I was casting envious glances at Dzeko and Lukaku owners last week).Open Controls
Got your own "Miffed" going Evs. That's the trouble with you high flyers, everything has to be perfect. 😉
Open ControlsOh, and is there anyway I can move Ward from 3rd sub to 2nd so he can come in for Evra 🙄
Open ControlsYep, just move your subs about before the deadline.
Open ControlsIf you do manage to hack into FPL Towers software, do mine at the same time, but playing instead of Terry. Thanks.
Open Controls
Hard to claim the last 3 goals as you never would have kept him for the DGW.
Open ControlsYou should join the scoutcast next week. Fit right in 🙂
Open Controls
then what is the move?
Gerrard to...?Open Controls
8 points from 4 😥
Open ControlsI mentioned this yesterday morning, but I think it's worth a re-run.
With the exception of GW36 when they are away to Palace, Man City will have a home game every week till the end of the season.
Just saying.Open ControlsKolarov time!
Open ControlsWould have been nice to think so, but I doubt he's worth it for the game time.
Open Controls
Yup...hoping for consistent returns. Already got Nasri & Yaya
My confusion is if I should wait for Aguero to be fit till DGW34 or get any CIty defenseOpen ControlsNot for me Avishek, team linked.
Open Controls
Yaya benched GW36 then.
Open ControlsIf they've won the league by then maybe.
Open Controls
Wow.
I have silva and Yaya (now)
Decision now is city defender or striker for the 3rd spot ???Open Controls
MOTD, Laterz.
Open ControlsHow do we feel about the relegation battle right now? Will any of the current bottom three climb above West Brom or do you think it will stay as it is with Fulham, Sunderland, and Cardiff going down?

10 years, 2 months agoGoing punty with my transfers this week... Mata + Olsson > Nasri + Caulker 😎
