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.
-
Some 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.......
-
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. ðŸ™
*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=GWkqACt1Xi8-
Wait 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 FPL-
Doubt it, tbh.
-
-
Krul
Caulker, Clyne, PVA. ( Debuchy
Sterling, Fab, Sanchez, Di Maria, Siggy
Costa, Balotelli -
Taken 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.Kaboul-
Clyne 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 - Naismith-
Good 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 advance-
transfer 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 Rooney-
Costa 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 ðŸ˜-
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 without -
Is 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
CHEATERS-
how 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,jove -
When 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 ðŸ™
-
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.
-
