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.
I'd go Welbeck/Aguero and invest in your 4th mid.
Hey guys, I'm on my WC. Would appreciate a quick RMT! Thanks!
Krul (Elliot)
Ivanovic Clyne NTaylor (Moore Wisdom)
Di Maria Ramsey Sterling Siggy (Boyd)
Aguero Costa Welbeck
May go for Fabregas in place of Di Maria or Rambo.
Like this team a lot
Was going to say fab instead of adm or Ramsey before read comment
With Ramsey doubt and wellbeck as arsenal cover is go Ramsey to fabThanks mate!
Looks excellent except Wisdom might lose his place this GW or next, leaving Moore as the last 4m defender standing (Maybe Duff who has great fixtures, but he might be vulnerable). I'd upgrade Wizzy by finding 0.5 from somewhere.
bego (myhill)
moreno - clyne, ivan (wisdom - wasllewski)
fab, sterling, siggy, rams (boyd)
aguero, costa, naismith
any obvious alterations? on WC
mirallas/roonpig are tempting me but dont have a clue..
0.2 ITBMost importantly, replace Wasilevski with a 4.0 who will actually play. You'll be kicking yourself if injuries hit and you only have two playing defenders!
I don't think I'd be too happy having to play Naismith every week either.
Other than that, looks solid. Wait on Rambo and Cotsa injury news I guess. You could go Di Maria and Balotelli if both look to be out.Disagree about skimping on defence. Looks a great squad to me - except your 5th defender: Wasilew??? hasn't played but Moore is also 4m and has played every game. Wisdom might also be dropped from now.
Andy & Fergies,
I am tempted to drop aguero and rambo for some odd reason...
going roonpig and maybe silva and then using the remaining 2.0 ITB to upgrade naismith?
or even go tadic and upgrade naismith to an 8.7?
what do you gents think?Personally i think Aguero is too much of an injury risk to invest in, although if you have him and he gets injured it's easy to swap him for another Class A striker. Not sure I''d want to upgrade Naismith while he's on fire.
im thinkin roon pig this week and this will still leave me with enough cash to bring aguero in after his next 3 fixtures if need be...
the thing is you never know when aguero will catch fire and go wild..
Investing in defence is never a good option...Do Falcao+Balo>Stirridge+Shrek
Cook the man some fecking iggs!
Thinks the man while staring at his wife
*Yells Jake the Muss while staring at his wife
What a film.
Brilliant innit. Powerful stuff.
My defence is making me cringe: Dummett, Vlaar and Bruce.
:0
Innit. Thinking Vlaar to Schlupp for the oop goodness.
A bit punty but good differential. Who are your other two defenders?
Ouch...
Oscar Pistorius verdict apparently at some point today. He is going down to China Town (I hope)
Likely 2 days for verdict.
Ah that's disappointing, if I was the judge I would get the formalities over with and pass the guilty verdict before breakfast.
Oscar trial starts in 10 minutes.
Oscar's brother arrives in a wheelchair. Both legs in "space boots" due to serious motor vehicle accident...Going down yeah?
I reckon.
Chelsea's Oscar arrives - thinking it's the right thing to do to support the fellow Oscars of the world
Oscar the grouch arrives with a hand up his ass
To which Chelsea's Oscar frowns and grumbles, "How come he gets one"
😆
😀
Should probably have a look at my team again. Any thoughts? No free transfers. 1.0 in the bank. Kinda fancy getting Ivanovic and Falcao in somehow.
Krul, Myhill
van Aanholt, Debuchy, Chester, Vlaar, N. Taylor
Sterling, Eriksen, Sigurdsson, Ramsey, Fabregas
Rooney, Costa, NaismithWait for now. Don't make a move until after the Chelsea and Arsenal pressers.
If they're boh fit or only out for a week I'd try and get Debuchy out for another defender - can't see many Arsenal clean sheets coming soon.
I wouldn't get Falcao this week. Risk of not starting.
Maybe save and next week you could do Erik & Debuchy to Ivan & Zaha or another cheapie mid.
Thats a good team, no need to take hits. If you don't want a selection choice you could get ivanovic in next week however. I think siggy/naismith/fab rotate nicely in the next 3 fixtures though anyhow. If anything I'd swap Eriksen and Ivanovic somehow if i were you.
obv a concern with the Costa injury apart from that good to go
Cheers guys.
A) Costa Balotelli Welbeck
B) Costa Aguero Naismith/Welbeck (for welbeck here defence would take a hit)
basically, is Naismith worth it on the WC?Naismith will be worth it until Barkley is back. Fixtures are great apart from GW5 and GW6, so he's a great option either starting or benched.
This ^^ B with Naismith
Q: Why is the iPhone 6 Plus a must-have for Man United fans?
A: Because they can see their team in the Premier League table

Jovetic>?
A. Welbeck
B. Balotelli
C. Aguero
D. Adebayor
E. Naismith
F. Other suggestions(Got 12.1m to spend)
Thanks. 🙂So anyone then. Get Dzeko.
Any particular reason for Dzeko over Aguero?
He's not made of cheese string
Fair point.
B
B if you can
12.1m available? its a sign, get Ageuro
😀
B
Toss up between Welbeck and Naismith for me.
however with the current fixtures, i won't turn my nose up at the idea of BalotelliD or E.
Has to be Aguero looking at the money.
Even with ars,bayern,CHE in the next week?
lol now I'm worried 🙁
Bayern away?
Yep.
🙁
I'd love Aguero but that's what is putting me off him. 🙁
Last season- Arsenal away 1-1, Chelsea home 0-1. 😕Shoosh. You're bumming me out now 😉
Actually I really fancy him this weekend tbh. Dunno why. Just a feeling
You on WC?
Na mate. Just a couple hits will sort me out.
Depends how Arsenal sat up.
After the hammering at the Etihad last season I'd imagine Wenger adopting a more conservative approach and try and hit City on the counter with the pace of Sanchez and Welbeck.Yeah he should try that I'd imagine. They just look very shaky defending so far. Maybe they'll up their game for city
Hope Sturridge is declared fit tomorrow. Solves my problem. 🙂
And btw check Fantrax.ah will do. Been busy and internet issues
🙂
Hmm. Maybe Adebayor then.
c
currently on a WC
any help will be appreciated
Krul/elliot
Ivan/Clyne/shawcross/Duff/wisdom
Sigs/Fab/Lamella/Sterling/Quinn
Welbeck /rooney/Aguero
Any good or do i need to rip it up and make wholesale changes ??????Looks solid, i'd probably go Wilson over Shawcross, not for any particular reason other than 0.5
thats just meThis.
Actually saves him 1m.How nailed on is Wilson?
Kane is not big nor a daddy- name change imminent
Oscar arrives....
Chaos.Where is the best place to get updates do you know?
Live stream...

How is everybody looking at Balotelli as FPL prospect this season?
Will he still be the card frenzy player that you can never draft with peace of mind, or will he be a more stable and consistenet source of points?He'll be one of the top 5 scorers in the league, and the worries about his attitude are overboard. Just look at how calmly he took that horror tackle from Dier.
On WC. Balotelli or Aguero this week?
Balo this week Aguero long term
Aguero every week fixture proof when fit he's a must
Let's not forget that the man is an Olympic legend. I hope the judge keeps this in mind while making the verdict.
So was OJ...
Quick guys let's get really upset at this comment and argue with this guy until he sees the error in his ways.
Rabble rabble rabbleYes lets Champ! Same standard for all. No excuses. Role model. History of violence.Outrage. Bite, bite, bite.
Covered it? 😉Yup all bases covered there. Willis will take this under consideration and meditate on it for a few days before coming out a better person I'm sure
Oscar is innocent.
Nah don't think so
Ramsey injured?....
Could things get any worse?
Already used 4 transfers
Mata -> Henderson
Rooney -> Sturridge (before injury)
Sturridge -> Balotelli
Have Costa-Ramsey-Hazard-Vlarr
Should I wc?
Yep I'd be pulling the trigger ASAP!
haha, now that's why one shouldn't make early trades. ridiculous series of trades there.
I know! I have learnt my lesson, but I was worried about Mata drop and had enough of rooney...
Just wish I waited...
Ah well
This 🙂
Currently on WC.
Mannone (McCarthy)
Ivan Clyne Moreno
Ramsey Sterling Silva Siggy
Costa Falcao Welbeck
0.2 banked. Quinn, Duff
Any thoughts on improving this team? ThanksCosta injury concern and Falcao not nailed on to start change 1 of them to rooney/aguero
Sure, will see to that, thanks.
Is Ward-Prowse nailed on or likely to lose his spot to Mane?
Probably will altho not nec this GW.
Maybe not this gw but in the future.
Ramirez and Taider are both gone which should help his case.
And we are live....
😯Your link isn't working
Im watching it as i type this...on my link
😕Found one.
Your link doesn't work.
Cheers Christina.
Cheers Acquafresca.
Pistoris aside, who'll get the most points over the season (or at least until January WC time:
a) Di Maria + Welbeck
b) Ramsey + BalotelliI never gets these questions.
Never.
On WC, which way should i go... (difference in caps):
A)
Bego (Guzan)
VERT Clyne Taylor (Duff, Taylor)
Siggy dimaria MIRALLAS Fab Sterling
BALO Costa (Naismith)
OR
B)
Bego (Guzan)
LOVREN Clyne Taylor (Duff, Taylor)
Siggy dimaria RAMBO Fab Sterling
ADEBAYOR Costa (Naismith)What I don't understand is how Oscar Pistorious was able to operate a gun if he has no arms???
Post these on DM! Wanna see the reactions to them. 😀
😀 This is much better. If you're gonna WUM at least make me smile
Arms? Legs? Same same? Are you an octopus?
Any champions league fantasy guide posted yet?
Yeah.
Look at my RMT.There'll be one before deadline.
Arsenal Man City game will be high scoring imo. 2-2
As much as past results say otherwise lots of 1-0 etc I feel both teams need a win especially considering Man City have chelsea next week and we will be hell bent on not losing!
Prediction:
2-3
Who is actually not playing a wild card and taking hits instead? B-)
have mata - ramsey - cesc - sigurdson - albrighton in the midfield currently.
feel like a must to get sterling, but who should i drop for him? mata/ramsey/cesc?
i would do mata->sterling in a heartbeat
Before QPR at home ? youve lost your marbles
worry that LVG to play mata at his favourite position in an improved united squad plus good fixture. that could be disastrous LOL
Mata for form, Ramsey for injury doubt, Cesc for fixtures. I'd get rid of Mata
"I have Azpi behind me and he helps me when I attack or have to defend. Off the pitch, we are very close friends because he can speak French and understands everything.
"It is important for me to play with him because I know how he plays... I think he can reach the level of being one of the best right or left backs in the world."
Eden HazardSounds good for Azpi owners.
Starting to think that Felipe Luis may have to spend most of the season sitting on the bench.
Looks like it..Seems obvious some sort of understanding has developed between Azpi and Hazard on the pitch..that can be hard to break for a manager.
😆
Luis is one of the best LBs in the world. He will play every game once fully acclimatised.He wouldn't be the first good player to warm the bench at Chelsea...won't be the last either...
They didn't spend 20m on a 29 year old who's at the peak of his game to bench him. Ivanovic will get the chop soon.
Hi, would appreciate any comments on my WC selection:
Krul (McCarthy)
Wilson, Moreno, Naylor, Clyne, Wisdom
Silva, Siggy, Ramsey, Sterling, Zaha
Welbeck, Rooney, Sturridge
The defence might not be to the liking of some but playing 3-4-3 each week they do rotate nicely between them. The plan is to do Rooney to Falcao after a GW or 2 when settled, and Studger to Balo (potential) after press conf's on Friday - am leaving 2.1ITB for the above.Studge to Aguero if you can afford it
Thanks Mod - will see if I can free up some extra cash for Aguero....
9 years, 9 months agoCurrently on WC and have the following team:
Foster(krul)
Iva/Clyne/Chester (wisdom/hutton)
Rambo/Siggy/Zaha/Sterling
Studge/Roo/Costa
I think you can see my problem here, what to do? Get Balo>Studge and save/invest the 1.5m? I like pool's fixtures so that could be a move. Could also go for Welbeck+Aguero>Rooney+Sturridge and invest in defense/midflied although I'm quite happy with my defense and midfield at the moment.
Thoughts? All comments and advice appreciated
