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.
Thoughts on Blind?
Useless in FPL terms, solid on the pitch and I think he'll help in the dressing room too - worked with LvG before and successfully.
I feel it depends on formation. He did quite well in 352..
I'm expecting him to play in front of the back 3 with Shaw at LWB. But agreed, if he does play out wide, he could be worth it at his price.
He can't se it.
can't see it working out in FPL
Reading above this is likely the last weekend Rooney will be in my team
Team in a bit of a mess. 1FT and 3.4m ITB. Any advice?
Krul
Debuchy Clyne Pieters
Eriksen Sterling Mata Ramsey
Austin Jovetic Rooney (C)
Subs: Gilks Davis Hutton Ferdinand
WC
have considered this. still feels too soon do.
No such thing as too soon imo.
FFS! Really can't decide my third striker. Costa,Balotelli are nailed but maybe one the ManU guys or Aguero, Adebayor.
Aguero.
Falcao is a worthy punt
If Swansea had signed him
Gents needs suggestions on below
Krul 4.0
JT Clyne Chester ( PVA Hutton)
Rambo Hazard Siggy Tadic (4.5)
Costa Rooney Bony
1ft
A) Rambo bony out, ADM welbz in-4
B) bony out welbz in
C) bony out ade in
D) save Ftc
D
How nailed is Kaboul?
You'd think 100% considering he's been handed the captaincy but can't see who else Fazio would replace
Thanks
I have the same question
But does that mean he wont be benched? Why else would they buy fazio. Cuz vert wont be benched for sure.
I think he (Kaboul) should be benched for Fazio. That's why the captaincy decision doesn't make sense to me. Vert is definitely nailed imo
Current team:
Courtois, Green,
ShawX, Moreno, Naylor, Alderweireld, Moore
Fabregas, ADM, Eriksen, Rodwell, Boyd
Falcao, Balotelli, Jovetic
Should I do:
ShawX to Wilson
Courtois to Mignolet
Jovetic to Diouf / Ulloa
and invest 3,6 mio extra in midfield?
Hi folks, how do think this wc team looks ?im not sure re the defence
Bego Mannone
Trippier Moreno PvA Clyne Hutton
Sig Fab Ramsey Sterling Zaha
Welb Rooney Costa
Thanks.
On WC there's no logic in having Hutton considering their next 5 fixtures
I think there is. Provided your other 4 rotate well enough to get you through the next 5 fixtures. Think about it this way, you'd never wanna waste a transfer on a 4.0m defender, so you might as well get and keep Hutton and use him when their fixtures get easier than get in a Moore / Duff and never be inclined to use them anyway.
Trippier for 5.0 😯
Dear Fifa players, are they still using the TNS system in Career mode in Fifa 15? I hate it
There isn't a career mode on the demo I don't think, so I'm not sure.
Liverpool has made a film about 2005
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2749403/Liverpool-release-trailer-Champions-League-film-One-Night-Istanbul.html
Why do they milk everything??Lack of recent success
They wrote a book last year titled "Made us Dream"
*last season
History Boys! They love their history!
don't see the lot mention a lot about their History when they got England suspended from Europe for 5(that famous number) years
Best ucl final ever!
Potatoes gonna potate
I recall Uniteds film about the lives of Neville, Scholes et al
Too risky to include Gamboa in a WC team?
Yes, and an unnecessary risk for a West Brom team with iffy fixtures on the horizon.
Who would you recommend as my fifth defender then?
Moore - Coloccini - Naylor - Pieters - XSoton - Clyne or Bertrand/Toby if you have 5.1/5.0 to spend
Sunderland if you want a 4.5Soton def was my initial thought, but people said I should downgrade as I would have a problem choosing defenders every week...
Di Maria looked very good at West Brom despite:
- brand new league
- brand new club
- brand new teammates
- brand new manager
- almost no time to gel with teammates due to limited time for practice
The haters just want to hate, he looked dangerous and it will only get better with better target men on the pitch and better players behind him to help them retain the ball.
When he played vs WBA? o.O
Burnley* haha.. little sleep
Gut says yes, head says no 🙁
*Burnley
He only had one shot which was blocked, and only created 1 chance. That doesn't look good in FPL context.
yes, he had been with his teammates for all
of 4 days. he's one of the best players in the world, not worried in the slightest. 🙂
You appear to be a united fan that can't look at FPL objectively
While this may be an FPL site, it doesn't mean every discussion HAS to be FPL related.
You appear to be an ABU who just wants to hate on United.
My post is correct, from a footballing standpoint.I'm not basing that comment just on the above statements but on all comments I've seen you write recently
OK buddy.
Is Green going to be dropped? Or is he injured?
Doubt he will be dropped, no idea on injuries.
Then why was McCarthy at 4.0 in the watchlost?
*watchlist
No idea, been out of the loop for the past week or so as I'm trying to move flats. Maybe somebody else can shed some more light on the situation.
team getting worse by the minute............ ramsey, dier, costa, studge....... 😕
glad i didnt panic transfer earlyHappy to be on a WC although I think Ramsey, Costa will be fine, Studge no and no idea on Dier.
no i dier lol
yeh studge doesnt look good, may transfer him
A: Naylor, Boyd, Aguero
B: Moreno, Arfield, Baloa
I have hard time picking my europa league team, fellow players wanna comment on this?
Cassio
Rodriguez - Franco - Bruma
Guadrado - Callejon - Kovasic - Chadli
Ba (c) - Bacca - Soriano
Ederson - Darmian - Gullon - BabancoBa is injured
Baaahhh 🙁
avoid PSV defenders in my opinionReally? wow
Gamboa to play RB and Wisdom LB?
Any news on Phil Jones yet?
Worth using the FT to Moreno/Clyne or stick?
I would, Moreno probably.
Thoughts on Zaha? Due a price rise soon due to original low ownership?
Worth a punt but I prefer Punch with pens in his locker.
Latest update of our potential target is he hasn't been on for 2 days, not in work till 10 tomorrow so hoping he is on and I can catch him before work
I have never seen him around. Maybe we should start looking for a new target.
If I don't catch him tomorrow morning we will look elsewhere
Let's hope you do
He won't take pens under Warnock
Why not? Did Warnock say something?
Punch ballooned a pen last season and Warnock said something like he'd never have let punch take pens. Google it
Guess we won't know till they get one
Good player, but I'm not convinced he's a starter yet
I think Zaha is a decent option
Have my team sorted apart from one dilemma, Falcao, Rooney or Aguero? Normally would go for Kun but he his next two fixtures are poor and could only get 60 mins in both
kun all the way
I guess I'd still lean towards Aguero. I think United will bounce back, but you can't be certain and it's hard to tell which of their players will be the main man without watching them play. You know that if Aguero is on the field he'll be in the points.
I would take a punt on Falcao probably won't play more than 30mins against Qpr but he is better for long term.
Anyone also made Europe League fantasy team? 🙂 Here is mine:
Neto / Cassio
Vidic / Albiol / Darmian / Vulicevic / Rzeznicznak
Callejon / Valbuena / Radovic / Kampl / Enache
Gomez / Soriano / Lazovicif Ba is injured I might pick Gomez aswell hmm, decent team.
Thanks 🙂 I am going 4-4-2 for 1st round
Glad I read that, I feel I should wildcard now 😐
Soldier down
Is this WC team a bit risky..?
Krul (McCarthy)
Azpil - Moreno - Wisdom (Duff Moore)
Fabregas - Sterling - Siggy - Zaha (Aarons)
Falcao - Costa - Aguero
I think Aarons will have a big part to play this season and rotates well with Zaha.
Biggest concern is Azpilicueta, will he keep his place?Too risky for me. A lot of areas I'd be uncomfortable with: 3 awful defenders, Aarons not nailed, zaha is an iffy choice, aguero may be rested every now and then with champions league now underway, falcao is playing in a poor team and won't have pens which make his goal scoring record look excellent rather than good. I also personally think fab will play deep too often, but most here don't agree on that.
Hmm.. yeah see your points. Thanks!
I agree. He'll be in the holding 2 mids rather than the attacking 3
Injury check on:
Robertson
Ramsey
StrurridgeSell Silva or Mata this week? Both have been pretty dreadful FPL wise (Goals aside, the underlying stats are not good) Mata has a plum fixture but could be dropped, Silva's fixture is tough, but at least he's nailed on...
Don't normally believe in this stuff but wow
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10152314293856519&id=510866518😆 😆 😆
Would you play Siggy vs Chelsea this week or Eriksen away to Sunderland?
I think Eriksen. Dangerous game either way though.
Van gaal to admit defeat and go 4.3.3 Sunday?
......................De gea
Valencia..Evans...Rojo...Shaw
Herrera...blind
Mata
Di Maria. ..........Rvp. .......Rooney.
Views?
or maybe Rooney and mata change places, wonder if Lvg would consider playing RVP out wide when Falcao comes into the team Seem to remember him playing there for Holland with Huntelaar playing CF
Which defenders are season keepers?
Debuchy, Shawcross, Ivanovic?
No such thing as season keeper
