A very respected voice around these parts turned me on to Diouf as a 3rd fwd option to begin the season. He feels Diouf is generally nailed on, Stoke's top striker ahead in the pecking order over Bojan and Crouch.
Yet, not much love from anyone else, and I am seeing in a non FPL version of fantasy that Bojan actually costs more.
Anyone else have a opinion on the merits of Diouf?Open Controls-
I have a long term bias against Stoke attackers. Little expensive too. Could be an inspired choice though with their fixtures.
Open Controls-
it has all the makings of an inspired choice I feel. This may be the 5th preseason Ive chatted on this forum and every year, there are one or two players that explode out of the gate that are virtually not talked about at all. I got a feeling Diouf is the one at Fwd. This isn't Pulis' Stoke anymore. 🙂 Their reputation makes me hesitate too, but those fixtures make me think its worth a shot.

If you have the money get Diouf. Nailed on and actually plays as the striker.
Open Controls-
I am officially a Dioufus!

Diouf or Crouch will start up top imo. Bojan has been playing behind the front man all pre season has he not?
Open Controls-
FPL usually get the pecking order right with their prices. Diouf is .5 more. That along with the scouting report from that trusted source have me thinking Diouf will be there much more often than Crouch. Crouch seems like the better bench weapon of the two.
Open Controls-
Stoke tried to get rid of Crouch a few days ago only for Crouch to say no. Diouf will play a lot more games than Crouch.

Hiya Fuzzy. I'm a Dioufus as well - he looks like he could be the best bet for discount striker this year. Lots of decent midfielders behind him, good fixtures, fair record in a strong league, Crouch on his last legs etc.

Hello guys.
I am at the dire position of needing a 4.5 Defender, which one you guys think will be either the safest option or the most likely to score option?
Thanks a lot!Open Controls-
I love your grav.
It sort of depends on the rest of your defense. Newcastle & Sunderland have nailed-on options at this price range.Open Controls

Lol, just read the Mourinho quote on the Scout Tweets. Amazing.

It's obviously Cech he's just not told Courtois yet as he doesn't want him to leave.

Thoughts on a punt on Schurrle? Looks like he'll be first choice on the right wing, and could get some big hauls against the weaker sides (i.e. the first few gameweeks)
Open Controls-
I'm looking at Schurrle + Dzeko -> Bojan and Sanchez after the first 2 weeks (since I think sanchez needs a little bit longer to settle)
Open Controls -
its risky, but i like it. too risky for me though.
Open Controls -
Can't see it. He's only been back with the team a week right? If he gets the minutes, it'd be great, but it's possible he'll play 30 minutes or less over the first two weeks. Too risky for me.

am i the only one freaking out about this evans injury?
Open Controls-
Yep, Man u attack is where its at or DDG if you want a defender

rooney or costa
keep in mind I have both hazard and mata./..Open Controls -
I guess not many people spend time in the RMT thread. I strongly suggest you go there now, though, to rate MY team 😉
Open Controls-
Just put here and I'll rate it.
Open Controls -
will do, its all about me, me, me in the RMT thread. One chracater posted the same team 3 times on the one page within 30 mins before.... stand by

Anyone considering Jovetic? I think if he gets game time he's a bargain. Prolific striker and is in hot pre-season form. With the way he's playing you'd think he'd be favourite over Dzeko, and there are still doubts over Aguero's fitness.
Open Controls -
A. Begovic + Evans/Jones
B. DDG + Ward
Ward would be my most expensive defender and play basically every weekOpen Controls -
alan hutton to play much for aston villa? best 4.0 defenders?
Open Controls -

Ward or Ben Davies(if he's first choice)

Replacing Sterling with Henderson and Mata with Young gets me so much extra cash to put into defense and strikers, someone talk me out of doing it!
Open Controls -
shit, Koscielny is injured too!
Open Controls-
shit you had Kos in your team to start?
Open Controls

A) Sturridge and Wanyama
B) Remy and Fabregas/ Ramsey
C) Giroud and Coutinho/ Eriksen ( Lamela in my team)
D) Bojan and Hazard / Yaya / AlexisOpen Controls -
