As always, our first members article of the week delves into the data from the previous batch of fixtures. This time around, the displays of Chelsea’s wide men, Liverpool’s lone forward, Southampton’s new playmaker and the Hammers’ attacking improvement all come under analysis.
hi people, just started a blog about the premier league and football in general, i'd really appreciate it if you could have a quick look and give me some feedback. Cheers 🙂

good luck
and take it easy on all that red
duly noted, cheers
nice
Well presented, concise articles but need to sharpen your editorial nib
appreciate your thoughts, care to expand on that last?
Example - first paragraph of Malky article is an awkwardly punctuated run on sentence. Try to avoid that.
Example 2 - the FA could take a "retrospective" look at suspected diving incidents but bans would then be "retroactive"just minor things really in an otherwise well presented blog
cheers pal, will look at them
I like it. Well done.
Despite all blanking last GW this article makes me very pleased to be a Sturridge, Tadic and Caulker owner.
Tadic > Lamela/Silva worth -4 hit?
Krul (Elliot)
Clyne/Azpi/Hutton (Kelly) (Chester)
Ramsey/Siggy/Fab/Sterling/Tadic
Costa/Rooney (Wood)
2m ITBnot for me, especially not beneath this article...
I'm not a member, what does the article say?
Nice try 🙂
I only expected the briefs of what the article said tbh, mods removed his post.
Cheers, interesting stats, No spurs or city cover though....
Going Ade over Jove means no city for stoke... Do I really want that?
I'd be hiding behind the couch if I were you
No.
used my FT am I set for next GW?
Krul
Debuchy Pieters Colocinni
Siggy Mata Ramsey Fabregas
Rooney Costa Balotelli
Barltley bruce marney
Playing Pieters over Bruce? Bruce may not start, but if he does he would be a better option than Pieters against City.
1 FT should i keep Bego or ship him i would rather save the FT
Save.
save, don't waste transfer on keepers - only use for injury/wildcard
you can never predict a penalty save/total blinder
What game on Sky tonight/
MK Dons v Man Utd

Here's my team for the Scout Picks.
Would appreciate some up votes and try to rival Innsie!
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/8077955
I'll try my hardest 🙂
That's true, this doesn't work. The only one who receives votes is basically the first one and the other people will just go along with the flow. They should do something to give everyone a chance to be "the champion" and to receive votes.
Yes, that's the point. I'm saying that the scouts should do something to give more visibility to their post and therefore to the comments with the users' picks.
Its not really the first one. Its the first one who is a 'popular' member of the community. Which at first glance doesnt seem bad, but in fact just serves to make this place even more cliquey than it currently is.
It would be much more useful to have blind submission of entries to be voted for, for example.
Eriksen and Ivanovic should not be there
Why shouldn't they? Eriksen's got some great stats and Liverpool have a poor defence.
Chelsea can keep clean sheets against any team, plus he has a lot of attacking threat.Good long term options for that gameweek there are better options. Othere defenders more likely to get CS and better picks than Eriksen. Liverpool defense is not the best but not the worst either. Anyway those 2 players are the reason I cannot upvote your team
I totally disagree. Look where Chelsea got clean sheets last season.
Would rather have Coleman than Ivanovic for scout picks
Yes I have him but away versus Everton his average points are not going to be that high.
Yes they will.
Good luck winning scout picks.
Chelsea's defense always performs better against the best teams.
Who will be your captain in game week 3? Joveti(C) here
Ramsey.
Same. 😀
Roon Pig or the Sig Monster
Rooney or Ramsey
Roo(c) atm
New recruit Sergio 🙂
Caulker
Balotelli
siggy
Jovetic
So is Bojan being dropped? What's the options here? Just Naismith?
if you've got nothing in bank... pretty much - although palace and leicester forwards perhaps worth a punt if you bench them for a week or two... but then you might as well bench Bojan and play him in week 4
Tis what im doing (benching and keeping)
TalkSport now saying we're definitely in for Vidal.
That's it then. We're not getting him.
🙁😀
How did the game week go MRU? What changes have you/will you made/make?61 which is decent considering I got the square root of bugger all from my strikers.
Brought in Jovetic for Diouf last night. Plan on Bego>Forster as well.
Stoke ruining my team. 🙁I had 49 only, things didn't go as well 🙁
Great changes. Doubling up on the Soton defense? Krul tempts me as well 🙂
I dumped Mutch and Studge for Sterling and Jovetic 🙂Ah well. Onwards and upwards, eh. 😀
I don't have Clyne which makes Forster that much more enticing.
Like your moves but still think selling Studge and keeping Costa might bite you.😀
I would definitely pull the trigger then, no brainer really 😎
The problem is I'm not sure how the Balo factor will effect him. If he goes berserk, I could downgrade DDG to Krul and get him or Balo in for Costa 😀Fair enough. Sterling does look the biz. And Jovetic at that price is stealing.
Good luck, mate. 😀
De Gea / 4.0
Cahill/ Chester / Caulker / Wisdom / Moore
Mata / siggy / Ramsey / Sterling / Marney
Rooney / Giroud / Diego Costa
2FT
What should I do with my team? How do I replace Giroud and how could I get Fabregas into my team!sterlin to fabregas giroud to jovetic. EASY
+1 could do Ade instead of Jov though
Ah maybe not if your getting fab...
Does anyone think Aguero will get a hattrick in 30 mins at Stoke because I'm tempted to captain him.
No I don't think he will get a hatrick in 30 mins..but he will probably get a decent score even if he doesn't start. Worth a punt.
stoke are such a hard team to predict. I think if they're on the ropes then yeah that could happen, but if it's still 0-0 they will fight tooth and nail to bitter end
Hoping for a goal at least. Anything else will be a bonus to me

2 FTs, 0 in th bank
Dzeko out?
If so - Adebayor or Jovetic in?
Or sth different..?
Either him or Caulker. Possibly both. And Adebayor for me
Use my FT for:
A) Dzeko > Ade/Bony/Jove
B) Chambers > PVA/Naylor
b
B, for Naylor
So after another GW, what are your thoughts about Costa as a captain choice? So far he's lost me some ground with his single goals, and I'm thinking of avoiding him as a captain. That said, I didn't watch the last game, did he look like he could've gotten a couple?
He could be fairly consistent though, which could make him one of the more reliable captaincy options.
it's always annoying to see another player in your team (or worse, in you opponent's team) score better than your captain, but to get a single goal from your captain shouldn't be disappointing. if you can keep that up for the season you will surely end up with a good score
So far I dont think he's captain material. That may change. But if it doesnt that should be enough to make me question his value and position in my team at 10.5m
Dzeko > Jovetic?
kneejerk central
But Dzeko's knee is jerked, no?
He just scratched his leg, it's nothing serious, Pellegrini said that too.
Yeh why not
Makes sense right?
Balotelli 10m pfffff
You never know....
Krul
Hutton Debuchy Cahill
Hazard Ramsey Siggy Mata Davis
Rooney Costa
Bojan Wisdom Chester
1 FT and 1m in the bank! Save?
Hi guys,
Got 2 FTs , cant figure what I should do with my free FT, any idea?
Krul (Elliot)
Lovren - Debuchy - Jones (PVA - Moore)
Ramsey - Mata - Fabregas - Sigurdsson (Marney)
Costa - Rooney - Joveticteam looks solid - would maybe consider swapping lovren for somebody more likely to keep a clean sheet anytime soon. But beyond that. I'd try and save the FT for when Jov gets rotated out.
Cheers. I have 2 FTs as it is so will essentially lose one if I don't use it this week.
Any suggestions for Lovren replacement? need to research into who has nice fixtures
Can everyone now please start buying Caulker for his home tie against Sunderland where QPR will get their first cleanie, Caulker will score and get 3 BAPS giving him 15 points. You are all welcome to bookmark this but only if you buy him now (or not sell him if you have him).
I've already sold him.
Remind me not to vote for you.
another cloud-cuckoo land dweller
Its nice, safe and warm here. Join me......
this is going to happen. (C)
This sort of lobbying is really annoying.
Pretty sure he is kidding..
....and relax. This is a football forum you know not anger management classes?
Grrrr
Imma wait for his price to fall to 4.9. Then I'll consider him.
Tomorrow then!
I started the season pretty well, I'm on 123 points but made a stupid snap decision sunday while I was bored and subbed Jovetic and Bojan out (thinking neither would be scoring/getting 90 mins!) for Aguero (who I thought was fully fit now and replacing Jovetic!) and Naismith.
Stupid stupid decisions that will cost me!! ah well.Could end up being good moves you never know
It was silly to do it when you did, the day before the match, but I actually think that is a decent transfer. Aguero + Naismith > Jovetic and Bojan
Yeah I know.
I think I jumped the gun on Aguero and should have kept Jovetic though
may not cost you
was just thinking, liverpool have basically spent £35m to bench agger (lovren + sakho). not sure about that one
He is a bit of a permacrock TBF. Sakho is absolutely awful though. Find it so ironic when the ABUs talk about our CBs.
Except he's not awful. Skrtel-Sakho is awful, but Sakho isn't.
This.
Check Varane - Sakho. Sakho is Liverpool's best defender, by far.
Yup dunno why on earth Skrtel is starting ahead of him. Won't be for long
Sakho is awful. Horrendous player. I have yet to see him do anything well. France was dodgy as hell with him in as well.
Ey. Did you watch the world cup pal??
Yeah, where France were dodgy as hell with him in the team and solid with Kos in. He got yanked at the 60 minute mark twice, FFS.
You're a ridiculous troll. Give it up.
Yet you can't disagree with anything I say. 😀
Yeah, France were terrible...
😆 Now you're just wumming shamelessly.
I'm really not. My Liverpool supporting mate even thinks he's shite.
lol Sakho is better than any of your lot. Your discovery of irony is itself ironic 😉
I really don't know what to say to that. Madness.
For some reason BR doesn't rate him. Not the right type of cb I suppose. Shame I'm a huge fan
Agger's regression has been crazy. He is unfortunately a very poor defender now.
How would we know he never plays
We've seen him more than enough mate. We love him but I think he and everyone else knows it's time to move on - in the best interests of his career and the club
Yeah no point rotting away in the reserves. Hope someone comes in for him and kick starts his career
Hopefully a good club in europe. Napoli would be great. Would rather we sell him for less if it means he goes to a club where he's happy
For sure
i dont see the regression tbh. no reason why there would be any either
love the big numbers articles
Most useful article imo.
How do you think Di Maria will be priced once he's in FPL?
Anything over 8 is probably too much
how is that even a statement? the man creates more than most players in Europe
Yeh say 20 assists and 4 goals in 30 matches thats 80 + 20 + 60, so 160 points. Points are about 20 per million over the season so 8.0 is about right.
He'll be overpriced
he'll only be overpriced at 10.5m or above, anything below that is more than fair
9.5m
fingers crossed for this price point
I think 9M would be fair for player of his calibre in a new league
he had a better season and came in for money than Sanchez, why would he cost 1.5m less, especially considering he's only playing matches in England?
I think Sanchez is overpriced
ok fair enough then haha, I did too 😉
fpl wise though he had a much worse season than sanchez.
sanchez 34 games 19 goals 10 assists = 106 attacking points
di maria 34 games 4 goals 17 assists = 67 attacking pointsI suppose, but Di Maria at United is a much more important cog than Di Maria at Real. Whereas at for Sanchez at Arsenal/Barca it's closer as Arsenal have a pretty class squad (at least in attack).
for more money*
10m..same pricing as ozil when he 1st come epl
How much of a difference does it make if a left sided centre half (who is right footed), plays right sided centre half?
I presume with TotalFPL price thingy bust, the FPL transfers in/out for round is working?
This is quoted from another site ...The person behind the FISO price change tool said that FPL has now hidden the data needed to predict price changes.
When asked when it is likely to go back to normal he said he doesn't expect it to.
He also said that the current TFPL data is not accurate.I think they removed on profile page of every player by exactly how many he is owned, now they play with rough percentage of owners not the exact number. I think that is the problem
Most nailed 4.0 defender, long term.
Duff could be a decent shout I suppose. Seems nailed and fixtures turning for Burnley.
Sounds good, cheers
Austin +0.5 in the bank = zarate??
Must admit i know nothing of him. Genuine option or not?Rule 59: Never get a West Ham striker.
I would rather look at Fletcher at Sunderland @ 5.5m, or maybe even Shane Long who is falling to 5.9m probably tonight.
Thanks guys!
Got 8.4m to replace Giroud. Who would you have?
