Sturridge owners, keeping or kicking?
Why would you even consider trading?
kicking, for Ade. Not worth 11.5
With Aguero, Rooney, RVP, Costa and now Balotelli as possible transfers I would kick him 🙂
is this even a question?
Too much instability within the team, reckon he will come good in time. Just not at 11.5.
11.5 for a Liverpool striker this season is MENTAL
Markovic looked lively today. Might start against Spurs.
No
Rise - Fabregas
Drop- Walker,Dann,Graham,Giroud,Snodgrass,Bartley,Mirallas,Bavies,Lowton,Muniesa,Altidore,
Giaccherini,Bellerin,Baker,Kone,Chicha,Austin,Diouf,Gomez,Gomis,Diame
chicha to other epl team please
Please pick one to leave my team:
1. Sturridge
2. Costa
.
I like Sturridge's fixtures, but Costa is a better player.
Costa is not a better player though. Costa is a strong donkey. Sturridge is faster and technically better.
😆 top stuff.
I think Balotelli's price might answer your question
+1
I like Costa's fixtures, but Sturridge is a better player 😯
I really don't think he is. And I only own Costa.
Tough one.. Costa I think, some tasty home games for Sturridge, (c) material for many of them. Though I'm not sure he's worth 11.5 atm..
I would bin Costa.
Sturridge needed from gw 24 onwards.*gw 4
Gw24? Thinking way ahead pal 😉
🙂 Typo.
1
Keep Costa. Cheaper and I reckon he'll score more.
Posted this in DZ earlier as well
- For those who missed it, this is what Pellegrini said about Jovetic last night
'At the moment, it is difficult to say who is the best striking partner for him because Alvaro Negredo is injured and Kun Aguero is not yet 100% but he can play with anyone.'
Suggesting that he is ahead of Dzeko in the pecking order
- http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/matches/755318/
See #10's average position for the home side, almost playing as a defensive mid 😯
Okay you've posted this enough TFF, I don't want everyone jumping onboard... 😉
Only the second time Innsie 🙂
Two times too many 😉
This! Some people don't know when to shadup 😛
Link to those quotes?
He made them up. Nothing to see here. *Strolls away whistling
😆
😆
😆
I copied them from your sticky comments 🙂
As reliable a source as any 🙂Lol thought so
People who go on about knee jerking are the ones who missed out on Yaya and Ramsey last year.
Also the ones that kept mata hazard and jovetic
this
True, but last year wasn't normal
Yet did keep Mata, Jovetic and Hazard this week.
Steven Naismith baby. 😎
you got him?
Ye.
True.
So who is this weeks knee jerk?
Jovetic or kun
Hardly Ramsey/Yaya types though.
how is kun a kneejerk 🙄
lol
Di Maria-Herrera-Fellaini-Mata
-------Rooney-Van Persielol
Fellaini.......... WOW!
he's not crap overnight
just over a season
Your dead right it wasn't overnight!
*You're
Whats Fellaini doing in there
Oh my throw up
just now reading he is looking at napoli move, carrick i guess
Mata not as good out wide though
Changing back to 4-4-2? 😆
Fellaini? 😆
Mata on the wing? ffs....
is that u moysey?
____________DDG__________
Jones____Evans___Rojo___Shaw
_______Di Maria__Herrera______
____Mata___Rooney__Januzaj___
___________RVP______________
Mata, Rooney and Januzaj rotating and swapping positions a lot in behind RVP with the wider players as inside forwards and not wingers. Shaw and Jones will bomb forward from the flanks to provide width.thats quite an attacking line up but that central midfield would get torn to pieces mate
We would be cut to shreds.
You guys are both wrong. Arsenal don't get torn to shreds and they have Arteta as a DM with Wilshire alongside him 😆 its all about maintaining possession.
arsenal get torn to shreds regularly against the big sides and thats the exact reason mate..
Wrong again they had the 3rd best defence last season 😉
they were beaten 6-0 by chelsea 5 by liverpool and city put 6 past them also
thats just the ones off the top of my head
keeping possesion is all well and good but its when u dont have it..
wake upThey beat all the small teams though. Unlike United at the moment.
Obviously there will need to be changes for the big games.
DiMaria CM?? Suicide, no way. Take Januzaj out and move Di Maria to where he belongs.
Against the good teams that would probably be the right call but first United need to beat the smaller teams. United needs to be more dynamic in attack and dominate all the possession hence Di Maria as a CM where he played much of his football at RM.
we need a ball winner a strong physical presence in the centre of the park
chelsea have matic and city have yaya
its not a coinceidence that those 2 teams are gunna dominate this yearYou're a typical English football fan. Stuck in the past with the idea of some need for brutish defensive midfielders. The best teams don't need them, they just fill their side with class instead.
and where has that got arsenal? loaded with technically gifted but lightweight players who come up against the likes of stoke and get kicked off the park and they dissapear into their shells.. thats the way of the english game mate its not my fault thats how it is
and again i hate to repeat myself but its no coinceidence that the 2 most dominant teams are also the most powerful physically as well as having the class u speak of...
Mata WILL NOT PLAY REGULARLY this season barring some crazy injury crisis up front. Get your heads round it. He'll be rotated. A peripheral player.
Bookmarked.
😀
37m for a squad player?
And 28m for a circus clown. But those days are over.
roflol
Even as a United supporter I can't deny the comedy. I'd have been laughing my arse off as a rival fan. And as a fan sometimes all you can do is laugh at yourself.
doubt this, look at their other mids
He's not a midfielder.
however you choose to class him, he's better than most at manu right now
No. He's not. But we shall see I suppose.
Now that I've got that off my chest please continue posting your ridiculous MANU formations including Mata.
🙄
You really don't like him do you Muppet? 🙂
Mata the footballer, no. But then neither does Mourinho. 😀
Nice chap though. Lovely beard. Infectious smile.Apparently not. Although it might be worth taking with a pinch of salt, as he also said a page or two back, that Mata doesn't belong anywhere near a top club......
Despite winning Player of the Year in 2/2 of his years at Chelsea. Oh yeah, he also won the Champions League in one of those years, lol.In the two worst Chelsea sides in recent memory.
lol
3rd and 6th respectively. So what are you laughing at?
As I said before, he's the Spanish Van der Vaart.Also that was one of the flukiest cup runs I've ever seen. And Mata did very little. Even missed his penalty in the Final shootout.
So they won the CL, but they weren't a top team?
K.Never in a million years would they have won the PL. So no.
Tend to find myself agreeing with a lot of the points you make on here usually. But your username is looking rather fitting right now.
That's fine. But cup runs are crap shoots while leagues are the true tests of a team's quality. Don't see what's so controversial about that in all honesty.
Look, I've gone on record here calling Mata an 'overrated little oompa loompa,' but the reality is that United have no viable alternatives. That squad is old and slow in the attack and young and naive in the back. An absolute dumpster fire.
You're old and slow up top.
good to see you encouraging conversation 😉
To be fair, I'd drink too if I lived in Manchester.
Obviously ADM is exceptional, though.
If he plays he will get goals and will get assists. Will be difficult to drop IMO
Guys... Should I use my 2 free transfer on
1. Sterling >>> Siggy
2. 4.0 def >>> Clichy?
neither
clichy is not nailed on
Clichy nailed on i think...
who will replace him? Kolarov? I dont think so.Kolarov, yes
why don't you think so?
Mata vs. Hazard.
Hazard has looked incredible but I'm not liking his role at the moment. Do people expect him to be more central in the coming weeks?
hazard is better...
Hazard always plays on the left of the front three
Did young -> kouyate last night... any hammers fans able to offer any support? Starting to question it a bit...
😯
Reassuring! :/
tbh actually he may be a decent 5th mid
😯
He looks good on the field - really dont mind him, especially with Nolans injury, it will allow Zarate to have a proper run. And dont forget Valencia when fit
The only problem with my team is I don't know where to spend my 2FT 😆 Any suggestions lads?
Krul - Elliot
Terry - Clyne - Caulker - Chester - Hutton
Mata - Fabregas - Ramsey - Siggy - Marney
Rooney - Costa - Jovetic
Nothing in the bank.And don't tell me to get rid of Caulker 😉
Caulker - 4.5 then Terry - Ivan 🙂
Caulker>Naylor 😀
No real issues, your team is ranked as high because of a reason....
The only problem I have is with you know who...
I'd plan on fund raising for Aguero.
You dont want to hear it but it is Calulker.
Well done on the new rank Innsie...
I have a similar problem... but I'm committed to giving Caulker two more home games, after that he will most likely be gone...
Tbh honest, I would keep your front 8... Jovetic is probably not a long term option but with Stoke at home you have to keep him...
It might be something as silly as Chester > Robertson...Cheers Zep, appreciate it.
I'm happy with my whole team tbh, but it doesn't feel right to not use a transfer 😉
Chester > Robertson had crossed my mind...Yeah there is no way I'm not using my FT as well...
However, after points, rank is decided on the least transfers, so letting one go is better than using one on a reserve GK etc...
Ah yeah I think that's right, but can you find where it says that?
(As unlikely as it is) if after 38 GWs you are level with 100 other players on 2500pts, the person with the least transfers made will be put at the top of the tree?
Hutton>Moore is the only move I can think of. Villa's fixtures turn ugly soon.
For next week though. This week he should get the frick rid of Caulker.
Before Sunderland at home? Never 😉
How many chances do you expect him to get? He's had an exorbitant amount the first two weeks yet he hasn't scored. This should be a sign to you, my friend.
😀It's also a sign that he's ready to explode... 🙂
Sheesh you're in good shape. Chester > Wisdom to raise some fundage? Dunno nothing needed really.
Jovetic (c)?Or Chester to Robertson
First time I've never wanted to make a transfer 😆
I'm definitely considering it...Don't think I've ever experienced that 🙂
Same
Thanks fellas, I've surely gotta give Caulker atleast another week though...
You do. See what you and Zep have done to yourselves? Pot committed to the worst defence in the league 😛
Hey, it hasn't hurt my rank so far 😉
Touche
As a poker player I love the analogy...
He's my 'one outer'... and he hits on the river... 😎
I'd try to frind a way to upgrade marney to a 5.5 mid.. I know that Downing is one of the biggest disappointments of all tome in FP 🙂 L.. But this year he looks so lively and confident..
Chester to Wisdom because his fixtures go to shit soon.
Same team as mine except I have Hazard, Wisdom and Naylor and you have Fabregas, Clyne and Caulker. So naturally I think it's nearly perfect. 😀
If you want to keep Caulker I can't see anything that needs to be done, so don't make a transfer just for the sake of it.
Is anyone else thinking about using there wildcard next week in the internatinal break
no
yes
I hope it's not to make money.
You will be disappointed.
Still too much uncertainty for me. Things like player's returning from injuries (Walcott, Kun) player positions (United) and price changes. Will hold for now, maybe GW7
Most people on here seem to have saved at least 1 FT.
It takes a pretty bad side to warrant a WC this early on. Nothing a FT & good planning can't fix I hope.
When do transfers 'start costing points'? It seems that I can't WC atm because of this.
I took -4 last week, if that helps.
Not sure what you mean...
Don't worry, confusions.
What a Kunundrum.
😕
I've got 0.5 in the bank now, and I may be tempted to do Sturridge > Aguero for a -4.
😀
Why do people worry so much about prices? Aka Caulker.he was away to spuds what they expecting hell b great value long term imo
5m for a QPR defender? don't see much value in that....
if he fell to 4.5, that'd be a different story
Could easily have scored both games
He's been awful in both even worse than Cardiff defensively.
Because they are why everyone on here does so much better than the average player in the second half of the season. If you keep Caulker for ages though prices don't really matter.
So are you saying keep lol?
True. But it's funny since the price changes are the one thing this website doesn't actually deal with!
5m for a QPR defender is great value?
2013/14 - The Etihad
Man city 1 - Yaya
Stoke 0
http://www.mcfc.com/News/Match-reports/2014/February/City-v-Stoke-City-Barclays-Premier-League-match-report-22-February-2014They had a serious lack of Jovetic back then 😉
Who rose and fell today?
Not Rose, Ben Davies.
RISERS: Fabregas
FALLERS: Dann, Hernandez, Snodgrass, Kone Mirallas, Giroud, Hector, Baker, Gomez, Lowton, Giaccherini, Diuof, Altidore, Graham, Bartley, Davis, Gomis, Muniesa, Walker, Austin, DiameThanks a bunch
Caulker didn't? 😯
If one had 3m ITB...
...would Roon > Aguero be foolish given potential gaberdine and fixtures?
I feel I can't do better value with a Bojan upgrade. Di Maria could change things for the a RoonPig but if fit and starts playing 90 minutes Kun is a points machine!with 3 ITB you can upgrade Bojan to Ade-b. did the same thing myself
But is that really worth it? I'm not so sure
didn't see another decent option and bojan may drop soon
I realise gaberdine isn't a real word. I mean game time. Blame auto correct/fat lazy thumbs/the fact I have a day off tomorrow and I'm tired and tipsy!
Gaberdine is a real word - just not the correct word 😉
friend of mine benched jovetic 😆
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/2867284/event-history/2/That's a ghost team already
pretty much. and he seems like the kind of person who will leave it and not make any changes
ROJO DIABLO MIJO DE DI MARIA
VIDAL PROXIMO
VER EL ESPACIOEnglish only please
Rojo now a red with his friend Di Maria.
Vidal next.
Watch this space.
please stop
and please speak in english
after watching that game, two things
aguero when he plays is essential
sterling and/or sturridge remain good pickswaiting to see balotelli impact first
I know this game is all about points, but it irritates me how short sighted people are when it comes to offering up advice to sell on players who haven't scored points yet...
Let's look at some examples...
Mata blanks in GW1 > mass hysteria and a price drop > 10pts in GW2 = bad advice...
Jovetic blanks in GW1 > mass hysteria and a price drop > 13pts in GW2 = bad advice...
Sterling 13pts in GW1 > mass hysteria and a price rise > 2pts in GW2 = bad move given the fixtures (although arguably a sound long term move, but that was certainly not the reason for the 120k transfer in and a price rise)
Ok , players like Eriksen haven't score yet, but that doesn't mean you should take him out...
I suggest we keep an open mind and have some vision... it's only a matter of time before he starts scoring...I fully agree.
This is FFS Zep. The key is knowing who talks sense
It took a lot of patience in the end after listening to many people on here..
How I managed to keep Lamela, Mata, Jovetic.. Even just for 2 games- I'll never know.
Top 4k now..
Thrilled with this start!!
Thanks to those that advised me to hold!!
But I want points and I want them NOW! 😉
Ouch btw...
And now he has a home game against Stoke to rub salt in the wounds 😯The obvious games are the ones players never score well in. i.e. Bony this weekend.
Lukaku vs Hull last year comes to mind.
Aguero vs Swansea at home last year comes to mind.
I do agree with most of Zep though would add this-
I did take a hit on Mata to Hazard while doing Lovren to Clyne.
I know he, Mata, only blanked for one game but i had no Chelsea mid and made the desicion on how poor as a whole team Man U looked and in comparison how good Chelsea looked. I also have Rooney. This was a long term decision. Lovren to Clyne was easy, why the hell did i start with a Pool defender!!!Yep.. But a lot of luck involved in this game mate.. Man U looks shaky atm.. Jovetic hysteria wasn't the consequence of his blank.. It was the early return of the KUN that changed everything.. Sterling looks very Lively and plays in a very attackin position... Ericksen is Unlucky I agree, He should have much more points but if he keeps beeing Unlucky it might affect some people's scorin.. A lot of luck/ bad luck..
I fancy him to get off the mark next week v Pool...
Very true.
Also this season is shaping up to be much more exciting/frustrating imo
There are so many viable options who on their day can score big-
Mids- Ramsey, Sanchez, Mata, Di Maria?, Hazard, Sterling Fabregas, Silva, Toure. Also includes to lesser extent Lamella, Gerrard, Nasri, Eriksson, Siggy, Coutinio Ozil, Walcott Oscar Llana
Forwards- Costa, Rooney, RVP, Aguero Sturridge. Lesser inclusions Mario B, Bony, Adebayor, Giroud, Lukaku, Benteke
Every week you will probably be scoring 'unique' points (from players your rivals dont have) while also missing some from players you cant fit in.
The teams in my mini leagues are the most varied i have seen them for many years. When there are so many good options it makes the game so much more fun but also frustrating in equal measure.
In short, its brilliant!Yeah I tend to agree, I can see it being cat and mouse stuff... where one rival outscores you one week, then you outscore him the other week as and when your different players bring home the points...
Predicting form will be key... but IMO the best time to have proven player is right after he's blanks a couple of times... cos BOOM he goes on another run...
Knee Jerking is often bad. It pays off sometimes when it involves squad reshaping and price changes capitalisation.
Yeah but with prices being slower this year, it is completely unnecessary IMO...
slower this year... so far
haha so next week if mata blank and fab scores then suddenly it becomes a good advice again?
look over a few games to decide whether the move is good or bad. as u say its too early to think that a player will not score just becos of 1 game..but its also too early to deem the advice as good or bad based on just the score of the next game.Fair enough, the sample is too small to know for sure over the long term whether or not they were bad moves, but I'm focusing on the reasons for selling these players immediately after one game, which in itself is not enough time to make that decision..
But we can only go off the information we have, so if anything it highlights the different perspectives people have in relation to transfer strategies...
I prefer to wait myself...
Agree. I brought in wickham this week so at least I can't be accused of chasing points 😯
I like your style mate...
S'up TW?
is the dead team challenge all sorted out now?
Yeah mate.. should be fairly easy to keep updated every week now...
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1raAyvT8NYalwe4_-1EqJZBOOcbwjmixKpFu18ySKGVQ/edit#gid=1523803645cheers!
22 after week 1, not bad :D.
any chance you'll be able to mention the leaders in the community roundup?Looks great Zep. Well done mate.
Dzeko-Jovetic Comparison. Put Aguero in there just in case you're still considering him, despite him looking unlikely to start. In my eyes, he definitely could still have a massive impact as a sub.
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/6205/For people looking at swapping from one to the other.
Nice one. Big impact as a sub? Yeah I think that sounds about right after him scoring two from the bench 😀
🙂 Just look at his stats in comparison to the other 2 and then factor in time played.......I might just get him in this week(C) instead of Jovetic...
Take into consideration that the defences usually opens up towards the end. I agree it's impressive, but would never captain a sub.
+1
but lets not forget how deadly Aguero was off the bench in his first ever EPL match 😀If so, that can only help his case as a sub! 🙂 Schurrle it's insanity though? 😳
😀
Fairly conclusive evidence
Considerin the other option in fpl below 8 million Jovetic seems a no brainer. would have considered adebayor but i have eriksen and want him for the long term
other options
Yeap. Aguero's tempting me.....
Aguero's stats looking pretty good for only 40 min vs 150 min
Jovetic definitely is tempting I must sayThey're fantastic. Aguero is tempting.....:lol:
Anyone ever let a FT slide or am I just being mad? 🙂
mad 😉
I might have to this week
team?
Krul 4.0
Cahill caulker chambers moore duff
Ramsey hazard mata young marney
Jov rooney costaChambers out?
Moore or Duff to Hutton or Dummett?
Young out?
Letting a FT go with those in your team is madnessChambers, Moore, Young and Duff can all be improved upon with a FT.
chambers out
Better options than Young, Caulker imo. And Chambers time may be up.
Chambers > PvA
Yoshida?
young needs to go. try to get siggy
and will chambers keep on starting? i'm not sure
also caulker is not worth 5m imoGiving caulks 1 more week
Post your team
Krul - Mannone
Jones - Debuchy - Clyne - Wisdom - Moore
Mata - Ramsey- Siggy - Hendo - Marney
Rooney - Sturridge - CostaMoore to a better 4m. Or maybe Mannone to Foster due to better fixtures.
Any 4m suggestions?
Actually there are none. Team is pretty much perfect for next week though.
So I reckon i will let the FT slide!
I really prefer the Krul/Foster combo though.
jones needs to go imo
Was Uniteds best defender against Sunderland and popped up with an assist in his first game. Keeping
downgrade debuchy to naylor save 2 for d int break?
rather u get 2 for d int break,downgrade one of deb/jones?
I was actually going to put that as an option below... but I've never done it, and I don't think I ever could...
Just wouldn't feel right!
Help please...
Krulliot
Terry Caulker Clyne Cavies Wisdom
Mata Ramsey Eriksen Siggy Marney
Costa Rooney Dzeko
2FTs, 0 ITB
A - Terry > Fonte
B - Terry > Colo
C - Terry > Dummett
D - Terry > Naylor
E - Dzeko > Jovetic
F - Dzeko > Ade
G - Cavies > Robertson
A lot of options, but I'm actually stumped...E
Not Terry out. Caulker, if anything.
Any of the bottom 3 will do. Perhaps Dzeko out while you have the FT, as you wont want him long term.wouldn't lose terry unless you NEED the funds for something
EFG all look decent
caulker has got to go though. still think 5m for a QPR defender is madYeah, he'll be gone after his next two home games... but I'm keeping the faith until then...
E
D and
H) Rooney to Aguero😯
Rooney isn't going anywhere...It's hard to remove a Man U player with those fixtures isnt it. The Lure of Kun at home to Stoke doesn't appeal?
E or F
Is Dzeko confirmed out for a while already?Nah, just a knock... I have a feeling he'll start and score v Stoke... 😕
That's the tricky part. I think your/my priority right now is to plan on how to get Kun in
E or F. coin toss.
Why do you want to get rid of Terry?
Do Dzeko to Ade and Caulker to Colo.To generate funds to upgrade Dzeko the week after...
Keep a Chelsea defender ... almost always a clean sheet
just doing my own thing this season and it feels good 🙂
It helps that the price change sides aren't working. It presents a unique opportunity for us FPL managers to focus on who we get without being influenced too much by price changes.
This has to my favourite ever comment from Poseidon it just says so much: http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/08/25/the-scoreboard-gameweek-2-monday/?hc_page=19#hc_comment_8069073
You do realise it's tongue-in-cheek? 🙂
Look at all his previous comments it's not.
Sigh. Your comment was ridiculous anyway and is bound to elicit such responses.
+1 for common sense
I love Muppet's sheer denial as well. 😀
You're in with about a 10% chance of finishing above us I'd say. And I say that in all seriousness.
I'd say so.
