With Gameweek 1 concluded, it’s time to delve a little deeper into the data in our first “Big Numbers” article for members of the campaign. We analyse the display of Arsenal’s new wide man against Palace, the QPR front pairing at home to Hull, Liverpool’s ever-improving youngster, Southampton’s delivery under Ronald Koeman and United’s weekend scorer in the 2-1 home loss to Swansea.
I wonder how my dead team did. Bet it was better than my real team.

Which 3 to start between:
Kelly (WHU), Kaboul (QPR), Chester (STO), Debuchy (eve)?Open Controls
Sterlin or Giroud Who will score more this year??
Open Controls
talk me off the ledge lads..
...................Begovic
......Kolarov - Azpi - Chambers
Fabregas - Yaya - Ramsey - Young
........Jelly - Rooney - Costa
Gilks - Marney - Hutton - Baird
my brain is telling me to just do Yaya > Siggy and hold (maybe Young > Mata after he drops for a -4)
but my fun bone ( 😉 ) is telling me to take a try on Yaya + Azpi + Young > Hazard + Rangel + Siggy for a -8. the Chelsea defense situaton is so iffy which could lead to both 0 points from no cameo for me and goals conceded for themOpen Controls
I've decided I'm keeping Yaya.
Open Controls
Don't lose Azpi man. He's in the team at the moment and nothing to suggest he'll lose his place.
Open Controls
Yaya and Young>Sterling and Siggy. But do it now before the price rises!
Open Controls
Taking a -8 with that fully healthy team after GW1 is sheer madness.
Open ControlsI know I've calmed down from that..looking at a -4 at most involving Siggy and Jelavic
Open Controls
That's a good team. I'd try to get Sterling and Aguero in over the next few weeks which would prob involve dropping Yaya
Open Controls
Azpi, Young and Jelly are the weak links there, not Yaya. Azpi > Clyne and Young > Siggy looks much better.
Open Controls
Im keeping Yaya until GW 4. plan is to go Yaya> Sterling.
Might i suggest Kolarov/Young > Clyne/Siggy for a hitOpen Controls
Bego - Gilks
Cahill - Lovren - Chester - Moore - Wisdom
Lamela - Mata - Fabregas - Ramsey - Albrighton
Costa - Rooney - Bojan 0.5 in bank.
Was thinking
Mata > Sterling
Lamela > Siggy
Bojan > BonyOpen Controls
25mins to price increases - the tension mounts.....
Open ControlsYep. Scary!
Open Controls
Bony or Sterling for next two GWs??
Open Controls
I wish FPL updated everyday at a certain time to take into account all the hits.
Open Controls
crap, sterling and fabregas are rising, decisions...
Open Controls
Fudge, Eriksen to Sterling it is. Tottenham look hopeless in attack, and don't see them scoring even against QPR to be honest.
Open ControlsComment removed. Please refer to our terms and conditions on posting comments.
I'm thinking this for -4
Young + Jelavic > Siggy + Naismith
team here if you want to see context:

(and also I'm sorry for what looks like an overload of posts, been in meetings all day at work so only now had a chance to see TFPL and the environment)Open ControlsIt's absolute addicition. 3 hours been sat on laptop pondering 1 decision.
Open Controls
In about two hours more people will own Yaya than Hazard.
Who said casuals were dumb?Open Controls
Ivanovic at risk of being rested any time soon? Think he may be worth the extra.
Open ControlsI would like to see your argument for Ivanovic over Baines, cynical one.
Open ControlsHigher chance of a CS and a higher goal threat.
Baines fixtures put me off of him until GW8.Open Controls
baines looked great at the weekend and could easily have gotten an assist or better with slightly more luck. being on pens and set pieces means he will always edge it as far as goal threat. ivan does have the CS potential, but also the slight risk of rotation.
baines would be my weapon of choice if i was gonna spend 7m at the backOpen Controls
PPL think young starts this weekend?
Open ControlsFPL is addicition i tell ya - I've been sat here since 12 pondering what to do to get Sterling in.
Mata -> Sterling Eriksen -> Sterling Young -> Sterling + Dzeko -> Beraniho Young -> Sterling + Wilson -> Hutton
So many god damn combinations.Open Controls
any punters going with a Hazard captain?, really thinking it will pay off?
Open ControlsA) rooney costa
B) costa aguero
C) rooney aguero
D) sturridge aguero
E)sturridge rooney
F) sturridge costaOpen ControlsA or E or all three 😆
Open Controls
Has anyone got the balls to captain Sigurdsson?
Open Controls
So IS have beheaded a journalist in Iraq now? What is going on in this world!?
Open ControlsPrice rise!!
Open Controls
4 for me 😀
Open ControlsDidn't realize there is a Schurrle wagon as well. Oh dear.
Open Controls
Young + Jelavic > Siggy + Naismith done.
no more bird shit in my teamOpen Controlssolid business
Open ControlsI think it's fine as getting Siggy was good and you didn't break up your core, just too bad about the 4 points. And you will have to upgrade Naismith soon, but you would have had to upgrade Jelavic soon too so not much in it.
Open ControlsI wouldn't be so sure, Naismith got 31 games last season and that was with Deulofeu and Barkley constantly in the running..with both gone (Barkley only for now) I think he'll do well and return reasonable numbers for 5m..
think I may slowly shift to a 3-5-2 with Naismith as my 1st sub when the transition is complete..not sure yet on this plan thoughOpen Controls
31 appearances or starts? Either way, didn't realise it was so many.
Hmmmmm....Open ControlsHA if it was starts he would have been the first name on my teamsheet in a beautiful 343 with a strong midfield! 😉
http://www.espnfc.us/player/108763/steven-naismith?season=2013
in the PL he had 13 starts and 18 sub appearances with 5 goals and 2 assists..not bad at all for 5m..Open Controls
If I have a week next week like I did this. I think I will WC and hope 2 weeks form is enough to go off of because on paper it should do well and if it doesn't it is fundamentally wrong.
Open Controlsthoughts on a Hazard captain guys?
Open ControlsHasn't had a big week for a while. Looked sharp against Burnley. Would be ballsy but a decent enough shout
Open Controls
This could be my first ever season making no transfer on gw1... O_o
Touch me. :pOpen ControlsImpressive. Means you did your homework properly.
Open ControlsI did homework every year lol.... *facepalm emoticon*
Open Controls
My grav is touching himself.. 🙂
Open Controls
Me too....normally i take a hit.
Open ControlsFisrt time in 8 or 9 years or what ever it is. Crazy. Not saying I wont mind. Resisted the Bruce to Chester move so far may punt Giroud. Seems rude not to do something.
Open Controls
Would like to get fab into this team but can't figure out how. Suggestions please?
Schezny
Terry jones chester
Siggy Ramsey eriksen young
Studge Costa Rooney
Subs gilks wisdom cabinets MarleyOpen Controls
How long before price rise? Thingking to offload Mata for Fabregas. Wise move?
Mannone
Jones Terry Wisdom
Eriksen Sigurdsson Mata Ramsey
Diego Costa Rooney Giroud
Subs: Krul Mutch Bruce BartleyOpen Controls15 minutes.
Wise in terms of value, yes, I expect a .5 swing.Open Controls
Hazard to cesc?
Would free up a nice 1 million to upgrade defense.Open Controlsalright, team should be done for this coming week..forgot what the panic before the price rises feels like 😆

Away from the Mata > Fabregas conundrum seeing as Giroud played the full 90 last night and was by all accounts absolute pony should it be priority to get rid this week?
Giroud > Bony looks tempting with Swansea's next two.Open Controls
Am I correct in saying Naughton won't drop today due to the fact he's flagged?
