The final instalment in our series of Big Numbers articles focussing on Gameweeks 1-3 is rolled out this evening. After assessing the fortunes of defenders and midfielders, we now turn our attentions to the men up front – Chelsea and Southampton’s summer signings come under assessment, as do Everton’s in-form budget striker and the contrasting fortunes of a pair of Manchester-based front men.
If Palace line up like that I will be ecstatic.
Really hope they do. Palace fans deserve an attacking team.
I am a little nervous about the prospect of seeing Wilf central he would have a lot of responsibility...would prefer to see him at his natural position on the wing but I suppose Warnock would allow for a fair bit of interchange with that front four.
How come you support palace? Just curious.
Just do. Been watching closely and just a team I identify with in looking at all the clubs in the Prem. Tough job to choose a team to support rather than be born into one as I have been with my American teams. Just love the Palace organization, history, etc. Really grew fond of them. Probably won't qualify as a "true" fan or a "hardcore" fan as some on here have high standards but it is what it is! 🙂
Sweet. Just interesting as I have family who are palace fans. Good lad 🙂
Cheers Floydy!
Welcome aboard!
I'm hoping Ramsey's injured so I can take a punt on Zaha -4 😆
I got him last week..Happy with him as a pick, tempted to (c)
He's entrenched in my WC team 😀
Mmmm....I'd be tempted to (C) too. I'll go with Sterling if Ramsey is fine though. Schurrle stays for me.
Good luck!Schurrle is a great pick this week...bound to play 90 with Costa and Hazard the favourites for reduced minutes (if any)
I wanna do exactly the same move
Hi all think my team is a bit pants and strongly considering WC:
Gilks, Begovic - Cahill, PvA, Wisdom, Dummett, Caulker - Mata, Ramsey, Silva, Sterling, Albrighton - Costa, Rooney, Bojan
Im thinking about
Gilks > Krul
Cahill > Ivan
Dummett > Clyne
Albrighton> Marney
Bojan> Welbeck
Ramsey> Lamela
Or DONT WC and do Mata> Siggy and Bojan> Welbeck
Don't wildcard just do them 2 transfers
Thank you 🙂
This is going to be a long night. 🙁
*sigh*
you could always sleep on it and come back refreshed tomorrow morning 🙂
And if Sturridge drops ... or Welbeck rises? No thanks. Decision time is now.
Sturridge out no brainer lad.
OK - even if - 8?
Yep I'd say so. Ull probs end up doing it for a hit next week if not this.
Cheers, Floydy_Floyd.
This was very much appreciated! 😀
What's the matter Doosra...what you pondering ?
What to do? 🙂
GW 04:
Begovic
Chambers, Clyne, Ivanovic
Mirallas, Ramsey, Sterling(c), Sigurdsson
Costa(vc), Sturridge, Naismith
Green; Davis, N Taylor, Dummett ... - 4, 2.6 ITB
I'm in a similar predicament Doos, just went with Sturridge ---> Balotelli myself
- 8?
Oooo missed the -4 part 😕 might be best to leave things as they are and use the bench for this week
Too late!!! 😆
sturridge to rooooney
Not today, thank you! 🙂
So you're panicking on a -8...I wouldn't bat an eyelid...Studge > Balo or Welbeck...flip a coin...
I love you, Wakey. Here goes. No coin flip needed. 😀
Enjoy your wine, brood upon the decision, and make it when in half a stupor just before price changes 😀 All sorted!
I think that this is secretly my plan!!! 😆
Agüero, pal.
Welbeck is calling to me Parm.
I am in thrall to a Black Magic Player
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWkqACt1Xi8Wait a few weeks mate, let him bed in. Agüero is good to go from the off.
That is excellent advice, which I apologise for ignoring. 😀
You're a pal.Do it now, and re-evaluate once Welbeck starts scoring. Naismith looks like the ideal one to make way for Welbeck.
Aguero now or Aguero later is probably the crux of it. For Studge obvs.
Should be, I agree. Thank you.
But you know how that ends...
Sturridge --> Aguero is an option?
DOOO ITTT!!
Still a -8... wouldnt mind facing you in the early bird cup this week 😉Indeed. Somebody has their chance, this week. 🙂
Balotelli worth a punt for next 2-3 weeks with sturridge out? or stick with just sterling
I have both and happy with that
I picked up Balotelli for Sturridge but will probably get rid of in a few weeks
Can't fault the double up at this point.
Potential risers n fallers tonight?
f**Ked if i know
No one has a clue.
Just investigating for my own post, and both sites have a ton of players below 100% who should have dropped days ago.
When I read up on it, it appears the days of predictable price changes are gone for at least a while.
Mangala has been at minus 250% for 2 or 3 weeks. 😆
Repost from last page:
Any opinions on:
- Dzeko dropping tonight (he is down over 100 on FPL, mid 90's on FISO).
- General reliability of FISO/Total FPLDoubt it, tbh.
Krul
Caulker, Clyne, PVA. ( Debuchy
Sterling, Fab, Sanchez, Di Maria, Siggy
Costa, BalotelliTaken a hit this week. But does this look alright for the weekend? Think I need to do any more?
Begovic
Jones Clyne PVA
Fabregas Sterling Ramsey Siggy
Costa Rooney Naismith
Gilks; Davis, Wisdom, Naylor
Know there is a few injury worries but hope that it is covered and they aren't injured...Looks good to go
Can't believe the mods didn't step in when I was being abused by that asshole on the previous page. Shocking standards.
Parm down mate.
Don't you tell me to Parm down!
Fluis: drop for?: thx
1.Janmaat
2.Pieters
3.Clyne
4.KaboulClyne or Pieters
Clyne
Clyne
thnx
Not enough Welbeck? Too Di Maria-y? Help me so I can just go to bed.
Krul (Myhill)
Moreno - Ivanovic - Clyne - (Hutton - Wisdom)
Di Maria - Ramsey - Sterling - Sigurdsson (Boyd)
Costa - Aguero - NaismithGood team, go to bed, sweet dreams
Very nice.
I like it mate, you should feel chuffed with that.
Same as mine except I have Fab and Naylor over Di Maria Wisdom, and .6 itb
RMWCT please:
Begovic, Myhill
Jones, Azpi, Clyne, Duff, Wisdom
Di Maria, Sterling, Siggy, Fabregas, King
Aguero, Naismith, Costa
thanksss
Can just about afford Mata and Dzeko > Fab and Ade
Should I do it tonight or wait on transfer news (but if either go down tonight I cannot afford tomorrow)?
Thanks in advancetransfer news?
I'd keep Dzeko - just do Mata to Fab. Dzeko will start against ARS.Lol team news I mean...can only afford mata > fab if I do the other one?
ooo.
hmmmmm.
I'd look at just getting Mata out then. Silva maybe? Or Gerrard?
Hello.
Busy place, eh?
Bully off!
😥
any news on the new algo that characterizes the price rises?
Jovetic, Rooney -> Welbeck, Balotelli?
No! Just do jov > welbeck
All done.. Just the little matter of captaincy..
Who folks?
Foster
Moreno Wisdom Dummett
Sterling Ramsey Hazard Siggy
Costa Balo RooneyCosta or Sterling - I am undecided between those two.
Have you Mario though?
I don't - may bring him in with Sturridge out. Sterling a better bet than Balo for captain IMO.
Could be a great shout sticking the C on Balo though.
Im going Balo but I dont have Costa
Not seen a sigle team with McGeady in...I have a feeling he may be giving Mirallas a run for his money this season. His manager has been singing his praises to everybody that will listen...(5.5)
Isn't Pienaar a threat?
The way things are going Pienaar may have a problem getting back in.
decent player he is too.
I'm looking at doing Hazard, Rooney, Adebayor --> McGeady, Falcao, Aguero in a week or two...
Tip of the day... If you have a good team, don't think to yourself 'I will just have a tinker to see what I could do if I was playing my wc'
You know what will happen 😐
Why I used mine already.
A: Hutton Zaha Falcao
B: Wisdom/Duff Boyd Aguero
Falcao has the better fixtures but may not start, Zaha and Hutton much better than Boyd and a 4.0
Aguero speaks for himself and can downgrade to anybody have no City cover if i go withoutIs it just me that click my username, go to post history, then open many tabs do see if there are replies? And scroll all the way up to watch the live-chat, and TRY to see the context of what people are writing to decipher which thread they are responding to?
There must be a better way of doing it that I haven't found?? (Without getting 30 e-mails).. Help me!Just flow with the pages, the past is the past.
So you just write stuff in discussions or ask questions and then move on never to look back?
I always respond when someone rates my team or answers my question. Keep the latest page open, as well as the last one you've posted on if I'm anticipating a reply.
I like to keep my fans happy."fans" 🙂
When you anticipate a reply, and refresh the page; doesn't the area where you wrote go much further down because others have written stuff?
Click the # next to the reply button for the URL to link directly to your comment.
Omg.. this is exactly the kind of answer I was hoping for, knew I must be doing something wrong! Thanks!
You do see the replies under the posts, dont you? Is 'show replies' ticked?
You mean the replies like you wrote now? yes
Ok. I think that post have a 10-15 minute expiry date, Im happy with that.
Not sure if anyone else watches it but Banshee has to be one of my favourite series' on TV at the moment. Anyone wanting to watch something I highly recommend it.
Who should I drop Jones for, if anyone?
Moreno.
Reckon they'll keep more Clean Sheets than Southampton, in particular, Clyne?
Probably around the same but he looks better than Clyne on the attack.
You surely have Clyne as well?
+1
Keep him, Shaw and Rafael are back they're a much better prospect again at the back
Moreno (.6 itb) or Wilson (1.1 itb)? Have Naismith and Boyd
Moreno.
WTF does Naismith and Boyd have to do with it?
Shows I'll play Naismith every week and dictates how much cash I'll have to upgrade him when he starts flopping and if Welbeck takes off
Too much thought here for my liking. You can't do jack shit with Naismith with 1.1 or 0.6. Too little thought here?
*1.6 with Wilson, Naismith to Welbeck
Oh... go Wilson then, no shadow of a doubt 🙂
I think Naismith is a better pick over the next 2 at least, maybe more though. Welbeck will rise by then though 🙁 I can only afford for him to rise .1 which I should get from Dyers next rise before he becomes Boyd (I'm on WC), what do you think?
Wilson, and be prepared to upgrade Naismith, I think.
To whom?
Wut a game
France-Spain
Basketball WC
cheaters eliminated @home
projected final vs dream team is just a dream
CHEATERShow com cheaters eliminated..whats the story on spain cheating?
fixed draw...fiba not better than fifa...cheaters couldn't play vs dream team before final wutever happened
To WC or not? thnx
krul
cahill - jones - wisdom
haz - rambo - *eriksen - siggy
rooney - dcosta - jovetic
**vito --wanyama - duff - moore
H-0 Ft-1 itb $0
**obvious move would be Jove > naismith/welbk & maybe Jones > clyne (-4) and play duf & moore
got Injured (5) jones, haz, rambo,dcosta,joveWhen are they supposed to update the price changes? It's been a few days...
I dunno but your name made me chuckle 😀
glad to hear that 😀
Jones to Ivan seems like the obvious move but I fancy Moreno and Clyne. Not having Ivanovic means I'm much more flexible further down the line, particularly if upgrading Naismith to Welbeck becomes attractive.
keep some money in the bank
😉I'll still have some even with Jones to Ivanovic, if that changes your advice.
3.9ITB currently.
If jones not injured otherwise moreno/clyne seems good! Ivan too pricy at 7;2 now 🙁
Didn't he start at 7.0? Does 0.2 really make that much difference? 😮
Who would you go for between Clyne and Moreno?
The adverse argument to get Ivam in and then have ultimate flexibility with a quick downgrade. But I'm on my WC.
Surely the ultimate flexibility is money ITB because you don't need a transfer to free up funds.
Very true, but would prefer points and flexibility, is what I should have said.
Fair point!
1FT & 0.9 mitb
need to sort front 8 out! What to do?
Fabregas,ramsey,silva,siggy,king
RVP, jovetic,Costa
A) Jovetic to welbeck
B) Rvo to falcoa and jov to ballo
any other ideas welcome
Krul, (Foster)
Clyne, Wisdom, Debuchy, (Luis, Hutton)
Ramsey, Sterling, Hazard, Siggy, (Davis)
Rooney, Sturridge, Naismith
0.4m ITB
Wildcard or take a 4/8 point hit? :/Take hits IMO.
Sturridge should go regardless. Too much money on the bench.
Sturridge to Costa or Balotelli?
Costa.
9 years, 9 months agoSome big calls in the line up page by Demi...No Falcao will hurt a few. Agreed with the Palce line up...Puncheon Zaha Bolasie with Gayle up front is a bit scary for BUR and LEI at home in the next three.......
