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.

      Austin is injured, but no length given yet that I've seen.

    2. Squeakybumtime

      Joel Campbell a complete no go atm

    Yaya going to drop today it looks like. Should I take the drop on the chin and just wait it out? Was intending to replace him with Di Maria.

    1. Squeakybumtime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      wait it out, you wont be priced out of any players with the drop.
      also, he mightn't drop, price drop websites currently up in arms

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        plus I could see him getting something at Stoke..he's been good so far (if a bit lethargic), just nothing FPL-wise

  5. gers23

    Do i need a wildcard to get City cover for Stoke? 🙁

    Krul

    Terry Caulker Bruce

    Siggy Ramsey fabregas Mata Erikson

    Rooney Costa

    Elliot Fletcher Wisdom Chester

    1. UnderstandablyDistraught

      Certainly not

    2. Raddy
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Certainly not.
      It's one fixture and not even a that good one. City ownership is generally quite low too.

    3. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Certainly not

    Thoughts on Dawson at 4.9?

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      too much when there are 4.5 alternatives

  8. Jay_
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Thinking of PvA and Bertrand in for Kolarov and Hutton after the break , Villa terrible fixtures and not keen on City's fixtures all seem Clichy type games

    1. the cromulent one
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Good moves in my opinion.

      1. Jay_
        12 years, 9 days ago

        Cheers mate , nice to get a green light

  9. amol
    • 12 Years

    Hoping Balotelli gets off to a wild one 😀

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      he's going to surprise a few imo.

      1. amol
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        Call me crazy but my front line 😀
        Sturridge-Balo-Aguero

        1. Davido989
          • 16 Years
          12 years, 9 days ago

          Love it! I want to go with something like this: Aguero - Balotelli - Costa

          1. amol
            • 12 Years
            12 years, 9 days ago

            Looks the real deal 😀

          2. cramps
            • 12 Years

            this = points

      2. Licky
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        I think he'll surprise the fans who think he'll be a good signing to be honest. 🙁

        1. Transient Anus
          • 16 Years
          12 years, 9 days ago

          That would be me. I reckon he'll thrive. I'm excited and a little bit scared. Can all go tits up with him so quickly

        2. amol
          • 12 Years
          12 years, 9 days ago

          Nah he'll be good.

  10. andres
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Tadic, de jong or schurle?

  11. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Ok Gents, I made a mistake, I'll admit it.

    I transferred Jovetic out and avoided the price drop for Pelle. Now I am slowly being convinced that he is ahead of Dzeko to partner Aguero up top, or at least the most guaranteed to play for the next few weeks.

    Worth taking a -4 to bring him back? As of such, I was (and probably will be) the only one in my league with him.

    1. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      *Or ladies for that matter. Berb's grav distracted me.

    2. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      I wouldn't undo the move. I don't really see the two goals against Liverpool changing anything. Jovetic can partner Aguero, he should start against Stoke but beyond that it's 50/50 at best as to whether he starts every week.

  12. memo
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 9 days ago

    After a poor start and going against my gut I'm wondering should I spend 4 points to bring in:
    A) Augero for Rooney
    B)Jocovic for Rooney
    C)hold tough

    1. Efan Ekoku Pops
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Djokovic?

    2. Efan Ekoku Pops
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Keep Rooney. Not worth a hit, or a transfer.

    3. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Keep Rooney

  13. SwindonSteve
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Dilemma time guys, need to make a change today before the Bojan/Young price drop:

    Do I:
    A: Swap Bojan, Young and Loven for Jovetic, JWP + £4.9m defender, 8 point hit (already have Taylor and Krul/Beg rotation)
    Or
    B: Swap Bojan and Young for JWP and Rivere, 4 point hit?

    Any thoughts and suggestions of the £4.9m defender for A.

    Cheers!!!

    HELP i need a 5.9 striker to replace Austin?????

    1. gers23
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Naismith

    2. Raddy
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Everyone seems to be buying Naismith these days so I suppose must be a decent choice.

      1. Mowgli
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        Should we not hold off on Naismith as Everton seem to be close on signing Eto?

        1. Raddy
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 9 days ago

          Someone was arguing that Naismith fills in for Barkley so is safe until he returns.

      2. Woy
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        poor assumption

  15. PlayPercentage
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Giroud injury must mean that Alexis Sanchez will end up playing further forward at some stage.
    An out-of-position pick, maybe?

    1. amol
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Doesn't bother me, he played upfront against Everton and did absolutely nothing.

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      A position he was absolute rubbish in though

    3. Raddy
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Problem is he started OOP last match and didn't really perform. Needs a bit more time perhaps.

      1. PlayPercentage
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        He will get other chances up front.

        1. Raddy
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 9 days ago

          I think he will, but for his price I would wait till he has adjusted to the PL, which is only a matter of time imo. Great player. One to watch certainly.

      2. Journeyguy
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        What is OOP?

        1. AWPD
          • 16 Years
          12 years, 9 days ago

          out of position

          1. Journeyguy
            • 12 Years
            12 years, 9 days ago

            Cheers lad

  16. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Will Davis start for SOT or has he been dropped?

    1. Margarido
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Depends.
      I think its nailed, yet.

    2. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      half and half. i'd not buy, sell (or bench) all attacking southampton players barring tadic right now until it becomes clear what is happening with long. also gaston must be due back soon

      1. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        *i'd sell, bench or not buy

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 9 days ago

          Yeah he's first on bench in case Dzeko doesn't feature.

          Or would you go Dzeko > Jovetic/Barndoora.

  17. Pie-o-My
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Question that has maybe been asked a dozen times today, if so apologies!

    Jovetic showing as protected on totalfpl.

    Is he and if so why or is it the site still not working correctly?

    1. El capitaino
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      I don't think anyone has really worked out price changes yet this season and it appears that the main FPL site have changed their code so it's proving harder to get the necessary information to work them out so it's causing all kinds of problems. Also absolutely no reason why Jovetic would be protected.

      1. Pie-o-My
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        I couldn't see why he would be. Not even sure if I want to bring him in. Don't like being forced into early transfers.

  18. Margarido
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Thinking of saving my FT.
    Then more flexibility to face the possibles injures from int break.

    Jovetic and Ramsey

    to

    Balotelli and de Jong

    Thoughts?

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Wouldn't ditch Ramsey. Jovetic is in form.

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Madness

    3. Not Irish
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      This is proper mad.

      1. Margarido
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        ARS (from gw4): MCI, avl, TOT, che
        MCI (from gw4): ars, CHE, hul, avl

        1. Not Irish
          • 13 Years
          12 years, 9 days ago

          Still proper mad.

        2. Lanley Staurel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          12 years, 9 days ago

          Form - that is all I have to say, apart from proper mad like the muppet said.

    4. Raddy
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      You are saying you will do these transfer in the int break?
      There is really no point planning these exact transfers so far ahead. Everything will change again after next GW and over the break.

      1. Margarido
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        Yes.
        After break.

        And of course if no injuries in the standout players

  19. Kno
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Silly to consider dzeko -> jove/ade just to use a transfer? Got two saved up and no other issues in the team really.

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      I am in the exactly same situation.

      I'll probably use it on Dzeko. Both Jovetic and Ade on my watchlist atm, but leaning towards Ade a lil' bit more now

  20. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Who gonna start vs Stoke, Giroud or Jovetic?

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      banter

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      😆

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        Oh yeah Dzeko 😛 going nuts here....

        1. Podge
          • 15 Years
          12 years, 9 days ago

          I reckon Jovetic should be given a chance but I have no insight into Pelegrini's way of managing.

    3. laGan1n1
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Kone 😀

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Could be any of those...

  21. LewanGOALski
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 9 days ago

    How mad would be not having any City coverage atm..?

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Not world ending, 1 good match then 2 bad ones, could probably wait 3 weeks.

    2. Mowgli
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      No so mad IMO, it's hard to predict where the points are coming from at the moment let alone the line up. They don't exactly have plum fixtures either.

      That said they probably will do well - jubut the points could easily come from Yaya or Kompany next week!

      1. Mowgli
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        jubut, seemed to have made up a word there..

    3. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Wait 3 weeks.

  22. Acquafresca
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Christina, still around?

    Your suggested team for Gw4 is my team right now, except I have Fab over Haz and different defenders.. 😉

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Oi, what do you think of Mata & Bojan to Gylfi & Jovetic? I know you sold Jovetic & kept Mata 😀

      1. Not Irish
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        I say do it, Pep.

      2. Acquafresca
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        Tbh I don't trust Jovetic, anyone else you can sacrifice besides Juan?

        1. WINNING!
          • 13 Years

          Sterling is not silva

  23. Dinamo Drachma
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 9 days ago

    is it worth Eriksen, Kelly to Nasri and Dummett? Thanks

    1. emperikal
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      I wouldn't. Dummet may not be nailed on for too much longer. Eriksen will come good surely

      1. Dinamo Drachma
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 9 days ago

        Dummett is nailed tll Santon comes in and Eriksen is likely to drop though

        1. emperikal
          • 16 Years
          12 years, 9 days ago

          Fair enough but I'd prefer Lamela over Nasri personally

  24. emperikal
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 9 days ago

    Pretty ecstatic about 130 points through the first GWs considering I never start the season well! I need to get rid of Young though. Best option up to 5.5 to be my 5th mid?

    a) Larsson
    b) JWP
    c) Downing
    d) Gardner
    e) Marney
    f) Albrighton
    g) Other

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 16 Years

      Go for a 4.5m one if it's going to be your 5th

    6. emperikal

      Not so unanimous 😛 I'm leaning towards JWP personally but worried about him holding his spot

    7. Podge
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      Arfield, if he can score against Chelsea then ManU shouldn't be a problem.

    8. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      You have 101 points.

  25. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    2 FTs and 0 in the bank.

    Would you do

    A) Chambers to Dummett or Colo
    C) Chambers and Moore to Dummett and Naylor
    B) Dzeko and Rooney to Naismith and Aguero to get a good captain

    1. emperikal
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 9 days ago

      I kind of like the look of B which is in C's position 😆

    noticed the full minutes are taken into account in the members section, so for example sturridge played 96mins this gw. imo FPL would be better if they did that for clean sheets etc rather than just capping everything at 90mins
