After kicking off our series of Big Numbers articles with a look at the best performing Defenders over the first three Gameweeks, we now move further up the pitch. This time round we focus on midfielders, with a trio of summer signings all showing plenty of promise in their new surroundings.
@ Doos, Carrick...
So dat guy Welbz scores one off his shin inadvertently and now he's a poacher ala Shearer?
Don't make me laugh!
+1
😆
😀
😉 Love you Al. You put dat guy Welbz to shame
Love u2
don't think anyone said that. the point i made to you was that his clear cut chance conversion stats are strong and his strike rate per 90 is very strong. he can score when given opportunity. to disagree is like arguing the earth is flat
So he can convert a ball laid to him on a plate from 6 yards out.
Well wooooop-deeeeee-do.
Let's see how many he scores this season. Then come back and show me your distorted stats.
Thing is, he also has to get in that position - it's a skill in itself to time runs, take up clever positions, etc. That's what generates the tap ins.
his overall strike rate per 90 mins was in the top 5 in the league too. you're in a hole
No hole at all. Let's see how many GOALS he scores. The only stat I will be ramming down your throat at the end of the season 😉
Yeah and at 6.9 -- what have you got to lose win/win and shin
RMWCT if you don't mind...
Mannone/Krul
Ivanovic/Alderweirweld/Naylor/Dummett/Shawcross
Sigurdsson/Sterling/Schneiderlin/Ramsey/Zaha
Welbeck/Aguero/Costa
Thanks very much in advance
Does that team fit on one page?
Oh, God. Not you too? 🙂
GREAT TEAM. 9/109/10? Seriously?
Yep.
You should have seen the sorry mess that I had. Cheers.
Alderweireld is far from nailed on. Clyne and Bertrand much better options.
Dummett looks like he lost his place, get another 4m def (Wisdom or Moore?).
Would really want to upgrade Schneiderlin too.
Wisdom is a dodgy pick now..Gamboa playing a behind closed doors friendly to check out his fitness...Lescott as well...
Sorry, but imo, this is actually poor advice.
And IMO most of your advice given here is poor.
Well, we will agree to differ, then.
But I don't give out stuff that will lead to a weakened team.Your ranking history suggests you do.
Really. And yours ... ?
Mine is way better than yours mate, believe it or not. I have good reasons not to display it, sorry. But a guy who never managed to achieve top 50k saying that my advice leads to weakened teams is just embarrassing...
If you're gonna have a go at someone's history make sure you at least have some
Cheers, Nate. 😉
This.
See my reply above, please.
I know you like schniederlain and his stats may be good from the last game but there is no way he'll continue scoring with the role he has in the team. Just a one off game imo
Agree about the rest though
Perhaps, there is always that risk.
But I think that he is a seriously good player.
.1 available for Clyne. Schneiderlin looks justifiable at the minute. Not sure if there's anyone worth stretching to.
Reckon Alderweirdyweld is a shoe in for centre half, I'd be very surprised if he wasn't.
Absolutely.
He might be, but is it really worth the risk? Why not just have Clyne or Bertrand who are already settled and nailed on and also offer decent attacking potential...
These.
Moore instead of Dummet.
Arfield instead of Schneiderlin
Elliot instead of mannone
7/10
So many humans think they know better than professional managers who get paid a fortune for what they do. They slate tactics and player choices (Welbeck etc...). I love it when they eventually eat humble pie.

thats brilliant.
Jones injured. Potential WC time.
I hope you make some money on price rises
😆
Risers: None (lol)
Fallers: Cameron, Rosenior
fast
Obvious WC transfers don't count against NTI now.
Ugh.
Of course they don't
lol @ all the WCers...
lol @ you
Will you look at that! LMFAO @ GrimReaper
*claps sarcastically*
Ye two tapins e iz propa worldie playa nowRaw hands Grim
Please everyone transfer welbeck in and enjoy his 2pts.
Done
Will be doing. Which of the crocks goes is all that's left to decide
Welbeck is just the player Utd are crying out for
Oh they will be crying if he keeps this form up
Welbeck will not score goals for Arsenal. Too much of a negative team. For England yes
😀
Negative team?
😯
He will have Sanchez and Ramsey feeding him like crazy
when is Giroud back btw?
sanogo and podolski are deep in the bench then...
Around new years
Sterling is 19. Just imagine.
What a talent.
So much this!!!
He's no Welbeck.
Overpriced in Fpl though 😉
Naaaahh
A year ago Liverpool were planning to loan him to West Ham / Swansea
He seems to have gotten much stronger too. I have seen him hold people off several times tonight.
Huge talent there.
@Conrad. If you are around several of us are ready now.
Indeed. Get on it!

*tumbleweed*
WAKE UP!
I has a sad.
Adrian Childs = Twat
He speaks highly of you though
I like twats
So no
Latest community article...a must read for those playing UFPL
Here's QPR expects...glory with his guide to the game's transfer deadline dash, with some good options for managers to consider.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/09/08/the-ufpl-transfer-deadline-day-dash/
this reminds me, i killed some time a few days ago looking at where to invest in UFPL.
I'll did it out and post it on the article...Done. But be warned, y'all. It is a beast...
Sterling is possibly the most interesting player in the prem..as well as one of the best. No doubt about it BR's only picked him two years ago in desperation...he was only 17. He played well for those few months he was in the side despite only returning us FPLers 2pts a week...and then was largely sidelined. Last season he again improved and rose to be a first team player of choice, or be it rotated a bit. So what's my ramble about ?...Does Sterling prove that giving young English player a start very early in their career play dividends in the long term...maybe we should try it a bit more often...
But Sterling was an exceptional player before he started playing. I knew about Sterling when he was playing in Liverpool's youth team. I understand your point, but he only played because he was good enough. I think we should focus on better coaching at the younger level, rather than squeezing in subpar players at 17 or 18.
I read of several exceptional players at that age...they usually get their break at about 19 or so..not 17...my point is would that two year difference be better for our younger players...I don't know if it is or not but I'm just raising it.
I think your opinion is the opinion of most people, and Jeff Stelling wrote a piece on it last week. I just think England isnt producing players because of poor coaching for kids. How many 17 year olds are good enough to start in the PL? Not many at all. It's tinkering with the end instead of starting with the root. IMO.
people say Rooney, Owen, Fowler and co. peaked early by being over-played as youngsters..
Maybe...yeah..Do you think that may be Sterling's fate ?
Yes. But he will be at Barca or Real by then, so I won't care! 😉
Rooney has no character, though. Neither did Fowler.
I think it showed quite a bit of character from both to rise from disadvantaged backgrounds to become top level pro footballers and internationals.
Disagree totally. Bags of talent, appalling people.
Hear, hear.
Hear, hear ...He didn't play that well when he first started. All pace and no end product. He has come on leaps and bounds though and now fully deserves his place in the England squad.
As for your question... so will, some won't make it. I still can't believe Clyne didn't start tonight. I don't know what more he has to do.
Ok enough of that. Back to how shit Rooney is.
How shit is Rooney?!well shit
Top 5 best strikers in world
How shit is Jack Wilshere.......
Risers: None
Falls: Cameron, Roseniormedium
😀
😆
THREE CHEERS FOR THE GRIM MUPPET!
HIP HIP HOORAY!U serious bro?
"bro"
Phil Jones hammy 🙂
Another Blackett CS and BP please 😎
Jammy Blackett owner, RCA?
Yep. Not jammy at all 😉 Benched Chambers 8 points last week too ðŸ™
My mega uber defence working out nicely so far
Who you got?
Foster/ 4m
Blackett, Chambers, NTaylor, Wilson, Hutton. Total cost 30.5m
GW1 4 points ðŸ™
GW2 23 points 🙂
GW3 17 points 🙂
I've switched Chambers to Moreno this week for a bit of luxury 😉
A UTD CS, and you're not joking?
I hope you do..seriously funny if your Blackett outscores Falcao and Welbeck this week...and he might.
My Blackett, Mata, Rooney trio look good.
Loads of crazy people selling United assets. It's the easiest fixture in the whole season.aye...
Austin we have a problem
7 points last week. Could easily replicate it. Scoff all you want. You've probably sold Mata too.
?no,i have Austin,Mata and Jones btw
Ok, apologies.
What's Austin got to do with anything btw? loloh right, he may nick a goal at Old Trafford.
Naaah 😉i think he will score 🙂
welbz is dat guy 😎
😀
Immediately twice the player since signing for you lot. 😀
Sturridge would have scored that with his boot
John Terry would have scored it with his head.
Suarez with teeth
Sanogo would have missed.
No way
He would have scored 2 of that 1 shot
they have the same conversion rate and similar strike rates
Wellbeck has shown me tonight
Played well
Why have very few people got Gerrard? 34 appearances, 13 goals and 15 assists last season
For the last time...It's our job to ignore Gerrard and it's his job to finish in the top five mids..IT'S THE RULES !!...it's been going on for years...
a lot of those goals from penalties and people thinking Liverpool won't win nearly as many without Suarez.
That's why I ruled him out anywayThis it is exactly.
I scored massively off Gerrard towards the back end of last season. He shot me up the rankings, but Samh123 is spot on, they were almost all penalties, and without Suarez now, he's on diminishing returns there.
Haha. Well it's because no one expects him to keep up this rate. People think no Suarez = less penos, and he's no longer on every set-piece so those assists will reduce.
Having said that, i have him on my mini league team, and he won me the 1st month.
just refuse to get a holding mid for that much, set-pieces or no set-pieces
He should have been priced in around 7.5m this year imo.
aye...Eriksen money at most..
I thought about Gerrard at the beginning of the season. I think he'll be ok, but in my opinion there's better value in Liverpool's squad...specifically Sterling, which is who I went with.
I just think with Gerrard playing in a more withdrawn position his owners will be relying strictly on penalties and FKs...which is ok, but it's not for me.
Lol again at Grim Reaper! 😉
this.
Check out a Grim Reapers posts on the last page hahahaha amazing.
Looooool. These kind of comments always backfire.
Well done WelbzYou're a self righteous muppet, really. 😀 😀 😀
Self righteous? I have my opinions and I'll stand by them.
Do you know what self righteous means?
Are you related to Blue Lion?
Just seen the England score. I presume the Welbeck express has already taken off in full force 'round these parts?
It's insufferable.
the thing which this match actually changed for me was making me consider keeping rooney. his touch was back on tonight
Sticking with Rooney but have welbeck as well.
😯
I think you must have changed your brand of Rum ... 😀Didn't watch the game. Did he have any shots?
3 or 4. created a lot too. a bit of un-ideal assist the assist action thrown in too. overall though his touch was back and he didn't look slow
A few. Created a few opportunities, first goal wouldn't of happened without him. Decent game.
Hmmm. He is the obvious choice for the armband but I swore after Burnley game wouldn't go there again. Gonna be a late fro night job.
Toughts on Cameron ? I tink he will play and he's just 4.3
He's 4.3 for a reason. Until he starts, not worth thinking about.
What gives you reason to think he will play having not done so so far?
He played on World cup and the rest of the Stoke defence not
Well I don't share your optimism he is clearly not first choice at the moment and won't get a look in off the back of a clean sheet against City
@Inssie
Playing the UCL game?Inssie? ðŸ™
😳
Innsie it is. 🙂Nah I'm not playing it.
Ah..right.
Where're the rest of NZ DZ team members? It's so slow here today.Team bonding. I'm the Team NZ representative on FFS for today.
😀
PoP what do you think of this?
Moya
Ivan // Alba // Moreno
Sterling // Fabregas // Brahimi // R.Garcia
Lewan // Ibra // RonaldoSolid team Moin.
Only not sure about Alba at that price. PSG in gw 2 as well.
What about the bench? You got to have some decent players as backup in this format. Otherwise your start players blanking may leave you with a lot of catching up to do.I have copied your bench in terms of defenders 😛 ...the mid you chose was expensive I went with a cheaper alternative...
Haha...I like it Moin. That team should bring home the bacon. 🙂
haha Thanks!
Price changes happened yet?
waiting 😀
Rooney survived 😉
Delph is better than Wilshere
Karl Henry > Wilshere
Lenny Henry > wilshere
😆
Underrated Delph, hes better than Oxlade as a holding even.
gets too may cards for ffl
Delphzinho all day long
Why are people bashing each other for having different opinions? Aren't we all here because we love football and that is what football is all about
Unless I've underestimated the average age of users on this siteBan the word Welbeck imo
I enjoy football from all clubs.
Many enjoy football from all clubs except United or anyone affiliated with them.You have, unfortunately.
Banter - not Bashing, all good.
A page full of "HAHAHA @ Grimreaper" comments isn't really banter
This. Alot
He expressed his opinions with a degree of certainty, I'm sure he can handle it.
But it's bloody annoying.
Every weekend it's "lol at Costa owners/sellers", "lol at Liverpool defender owners".
If someone ACTUALLY laughs out loud at this then they probably put polos in coke tooYeah agree at times. This one a little different though - if you followed the pages.
Grim,s a big guy though and sure he can take one on the chin . Lets not over hype a little banter though
Overestimated?
No, you're wrong. Waaaaaaaa
Haterz spelt with a z because I'm a tit. Lol @ xxxxx
Sorry. Yes I agree with you. Three pages of the above is horrendous.
Were you on during the Everton Chelsea game? AwfulYeah. No differing opinions allowed. Dat guy Welbz is value @ 6.9 so leave him alone!
