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.

    any city fans here? what are the chances the jovetic starts the next three games if everyone is fit?

    1. The King
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero should be fully fit after the international break, same with Dzeko. So it'll be between Dzeko and Jovetic for the second striker spot.

    2. wheato
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Most people took the gamble with him knowing Aguero was doubtful for the first few games.

      The brace last night simple locks him in for a start against Stoke. Probably.

      I'll be monitoring the internationals with 2 FTs and looking to shift him on then.

      1. Honeybadger

        "Locks him in" "Probably" lol

        1. wheato
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Nothing is 100% these days!

    2FTs...0.0m in the bank.

    Krul - Foster

    Cahill - Chambers - Naylor - van Aanholt - Wisdom

    Fabregas - Ramsey - Mata - Siggy - Marney

    Rooney - Costa - Dzeko

    Thinking Chambers + Dzeko -> Clyne + Jovetic. Thoughts?

    1. andres
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Betrand instead?

    2. wheato
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Same 2 to Colo and Ade.

  3. Not Irish
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Surely Boruc plays in the LC for Soton, yes?

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Gazza I reckon. Boruc is having a sulk somewhere.

      1. Not Irish
        12 years, 2 months ago

        That will do as well.

  4. Artemon
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Have 2 FTs , so have to use 1 of them othewise will lose - suggestions?

    Krul (Elliot)

    Lovren - Debuchy - Jones (PVA - Moore)

    Ramsey - Mata - Fabregas - Sigurdsson (Marney)

    Costa - Rooney - Jovetic

    1. Feanor
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Lovren's not worth the money at Liverpool.

    2. andres
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Downgrade lovren

    3. The King
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Liverpool can't defend, shift Lovren.

    4. wheato
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Lovren > Colo

      1. Artemon
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Agreed that its Lovren that should go. Not sure if Colo is the answer, would mean doubling up on Newcastle...

  5. Koflok
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 2 months ago

    So

    A) PvA Jovetic (-4)

    B) Cahilll Naismith*

    *up to 6m striker

    1. andres
      12 years, 2 months ago

      A

  6. andres
    12 years, 2 months ago

    A ade, de jong/tadic
    B jovetic, lamela

    1. Podge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      B

      1. andres
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Jove too short term?

        1. Podge
          12 years, 2 months ago

          It's a bit risky alright but there's points in him if he gets the minutes.

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 2 months ago

      B

  7. Bøss ⭐
    12 years, 2 months ago

    anyone considering wild carding over international break? if so, why? (poor start?)

    There are players I'd like, and some slight tweaks I could make and tinker with but I could probably get by without them and save it for later instead.... it is tempting though!

    1. Podge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I was planning on it but have gone off the idea now, not much a hit doesn't solve.

    2. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I always regret it when I do it early. Three GWs done the line you will want to tinker and do it again but you would have lost it. Just save it.

    3. wheato
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Previously the benefit was team value building.

      With the change in formula, I don't see the worth.

      Unless your team is toilet, nothing a couple of hits won't remedy.

    hey all, would appreciate some advice on this (2FT 0.5 bank)

    Krul Foster
    Clyne Pieters Caulker Chester Moore
    Ramsey Fabregas Mata Siggy Marney
    Rooney Costa Giroud

    Giroud out for who?
    Chester out for who? Colo?

    Thanks in advance

    1. MrPenguin11
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Giroud to Adebayor

      Definitely Coloccini

  9. MrPenguin11
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Krul(Begovic)

    Wisdom Clyne Coloccini (Terry, Chester)

    Eriksen Sigurdsson Mata Ramsey(El Ahmadi)

    Rooney DCosta Jovetic

    0.4 in the bank; already traded Jones for Clyne; no FT

    looks like Begovic is going to fall in price; should I take a 4 point hit to trade him out for Mannone and avoid the price drop?

    How's my team look? Thanks.

  10. snowman
    12 years, 2 months ago

    is chester only suspended for 1 game?

    1. Podge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      yeh

    2. FPL Bargain
      12 years, 2 months ago

      yes

    3. Domo
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Yep

  11. Honeybadger
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Did Terry Eriksen Zamora to Dummett De Jong Jovetic... -4, had 2 FT. Bad move?

    1. laGan1n1
      12 years, 2 months ago

      yes

      1. laGan1n1
        12 years, 2 months ago

        dont sell Terry and Eriksen

  12. Feanor
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Finally got around to renewing my Membership.

    Man, these are some really BIG numbers.

  13. Elwood
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Dzeko or Jovetic for the next 8?

    Why is Jovetics price protected?

    1. andres
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Why next 8?

      1. Elwood
        12 years, 2 months ago

        No point in planning any further than 8 games.

    2. wheato
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Neither.

      It isn't.

      1. Elwood
        12 years, 2 months ago

        On TFPL is is protected.

        1. wheato
          12 years, 2 months ago

          I'm pretty sure it's broke as nobody is aware of the new formula for price changes.

        2. Tangogooner
          12 years, 2 months ago

          I see, but does that mean there is no price rise?

  14. RoyaleBlue
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on this team?

    Krul
    terry naylor pva
    haz ramsey siggy lamela
    roo aguero C naismith

    foster marney pieters baird

    1.3 mil itb so can do lamela to fab next gw thoughts?

    1. FPL Bargain
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Good. Ramsey and Aguero good captain options since you don't have costa

      1. RoyaleBlue
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks I preferd Aguero over Costa

        1. MrPenguin11
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Aguero might not be getting too much playing time, but then again he does not need much to collect points

  15. Bøwstring The Carp
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Caulker looks essential. Hatrick incoming, you heard it here first guys!

    1. Captain Shirokov
      12 years, 2 months ago

      This wouldn't be the first time I heard it...

    2. Podge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Nah its been said by many dreamers already

    3. FISSH
      12 years, 2 months ago

      to be fair he has had good chances in both games to score.

  16. FPL Bargain
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Giroud & Mata > Aguero & Henderson now?

    1. FPL Bargain
      12 years, 2 months ago

      -4pts

    2. wheato
      12 years, 2 months ago

      No.

    3. pundit of punts
      12 years, 2 months ago

      No.

  17. HUMZAH96
    12 years, 2 months ago

    WILDCARD.

    When do you plan on using it?

    1. FPL Bargain
      12 years, 2 months ago

      April

      1. Tinchy Sneijder
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Two Weeks

    2. Captain Shirokov
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Whenever.

    3. Podge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Week 8

      1. FPL Bargain
        12 years, 2 months ago

        is there a reason?

        1. Podge
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Fixtures go bad for ManU and good for Spurs and Arsenal

          1. FPL Bargain
            12 years, 2 months ago

            thanks

    4. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      When I need to take a -12 just to keep pace with the pack.

      1. FPL Daniel
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Second international break probably

    5. Jafooli
      12 years, 2 months ago

      When I have four or more red/orange flags. Shouldn't be too long.

  18. Jafooli
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Is FPL transfers (round) in/out working correctly?

    Seems like Siggy is very high

  19. FPL Daniel
    12 years, 2 months ago

    I think whoscored index should be used for assigning BP. This is good the way I see it. Lamela on 3 BP too

  20. FISSH
    12 years, 2 months ago

    King for leicester nailed on?

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Talk of him being sold

    2. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 2 months ago

      nah

  21. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 2 months ago

    So how do we think Eriksen will do at home to Liverpool?

    1. Kerz
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Pool defence shaky, Spurs in good scoring form. I'm sure he'll fare well

    2. Tinchy Sneijder
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Good, Liverpool couldn't defend an invisible man from a blind assassin

  22. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Any changes here gents?

    Krul (Foster)
    Terry, Clyne, Jones (Wisdom, Hutton)
    Mata, Siggy, Eriksen, Ramsey (Marney)
    Rooney, Dzeko, Costa

    1. Tinchy Sneijder
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Template team pretty much, so no

  23. Tinchy Sneijder
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Rooney- Costa-Aguero after International break?

    Yay or Nay

    1. FPL Daniel
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Nay

    2. laGan1n1
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Roo, Balo, Kun

  24. Kerz
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Dzeko > Jovetic? Too knee-jerky or a shrewd move?

    1. FPL Daniel
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Only for a hit

      1. Kerz
        12 years, 2 months ago

        I have 2 FT... No issues except for maybe Caulker who's worth keeping for 1 more week imo.

        Reckon I should switch Dzeko for Jove or not?

    2. Kip
      12 years, 2 months ago

      good move imo

  25. FPL Daniel
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Best budget striker = Ings.

    You know it

  26. Jimjam
    12 years, 2 months ago

    A) Bego & Kelly -> Courtois & Dummett (-8)
    B) Dzeko -> Jovetic (-4)

    Either worth it, or should I sit tight?

  27. Feanor
    12 years, 2 months ago

    I laughed when Caulker missed that sitter against Spurs cause he was on my bench. But it actually might have stopped him from going down this week. I hah-hah'ed myself.

  28. FPL Daniel
    12 years, 2 months ago

    So it is clear we need to sell Mata. The question is:

    Upgrade him to Hazard
    Level up with Sterling
    Downgrade him to Tadic, De Jong, other?

    1. Beavis
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Why is it clear that we need to get rid?

    2. Don Andres
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Why? Injury?

    3. The Shadow
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard if you can. Sterling if you can't swing the cost.

    4. wheato
      12 years, 2 months ago

      It's folk like you why he's losing value.

      Keep.

    5. FPL Daniel
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Because of ADM, no longer a starter. Liability for 9m, no thanks

    6. cramps
      12 years, 2 months ago

      since when was this clear? bur, QPR lei is a three game run that could only get better if all the games where at home

  29. El capitaino
    12 years, 2 months ago

    I kinda love that 73 people have already sold Balotelli.

    1. RoyaleBlue
      12 years, 2 months ago

      People on wild cards probably

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Does a wildcard sale count as a sale ?

  30. bodsc
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone eyeing up a Balo - Costa - Aguero front 3?

    1. Podge
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Balo hasn't played yet so it's a fair bit premature.

    2. Tangogooner
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Yep but expensive
