Hey DZ. Thoughts on this UCL team?
Leno (3.5)
Ivanovic / Sokratis / Moreno (Balenziaga / Spahić)
Sterling / Kagawa / Iturraspe / ÇalhanoÄŸlu (Brahimi)
Messi (c) / Schürrle / Martinez
Dunno. I am useless. 😀
But I do know that Moreno is exceptionally poor value.
Poor value at 4.0M?!
Yes. 'Pool defence is shite, imo.
I agree - somehow sucked into getting him in FPL - not making the same mistake for UCL.
But Moreno is cheap?
(Did you get burned transferring him in to your FPL side this week like I did?)No. I am not and never have been a fan of Rodger's defence.
Ah. Well, it hasn't impressed so far, has it?
I'm suppose weak fixtures to start and potential attacking returns are what caught my eye.
Looks pretty good though no Ronaldo will hurt you
This.
I really don't like the sacrifices required to get both Messi and Ronaldo in. I had Kroos in most of my draft teams, now I'm just hoping that Real are in the process of imploding in the wake of locker room drama and a derby loss. We'll see how it goes.
Handanovic for the 3.5. Rest is decent.
Thanks. Got him in.
Hi guys,
May i have your opinion?
Bego (McCarty)
Janmaat Chester Clyne
Di Maria Fab Ramsey Sterling (Zaha)
Ballotelli Naismith Costa
Will This be a good move for this week?
Naismith & Ramsey -> Pelle & Wilshere (take a hit -4)
Thanks a lot!
Why sell Rambo for Wilshere? Just o make money for Naismith > Pelle? I'd find the cash elsewhere personally
Thanks Mate,
Do you fancy Naismith will score well this week? is having Pelle is a must?
Tommytour - replied to you on the last page
Nice one thanks 🙂
If I were to wildcard this week, I'd go for something like this:
Krul-Elliot
Baines-Ivanovic-Hutton-Moore-Duff
Fabregas-Di Maria-Sanchez-Sigurdsson-Marney
Costa-Welbeck-Pelle
But I won't 🙂 so the team stays mostly like this:
Krul-Elliot
Terry-Lovren-Chambers-Hutton-Moore
Silva-Mata-Ramsey-Sigurdsson-Wanyama
Costa-Pelle-Rooney
Thinking of:
A) Terry=>Baines
B) Mata=>Sterling
Any comments?
That's a crappy WC
Ha! Good job I'm not doing it then. Maybe too light upfront anyway.
Good that you're not wildcarding then 😉
PS Mata > Sterling
Thanks!
For those of you that are too young to remember, MOTD2 was a journey into the past this week. In the late 90s nearly all the games were played on a Saturday 3pm. The odd game on a Sunday. No 12;45, no 5:30 and very rarely MNF.
So with usually 8-9 games on a Saturday at 3pm how did BBC distribute the games? Half the show dedicated to Man United with the rest of the league sharing the other half.😀 City were always last 😉
Some matches would get only 20 seconds of highlights, a bit like the Football League show is now
Best UCL mids this season? fantasy wise...
Matuidi looks like a bargain.
I'm lining up with Fabregas, Sterling, James and Raul Garcia.
Reus
DZ is still cranking!
Care to rate my team?
DDG - Gilks
Cahill - PVA - Bertandt - Naylor - Wisdom
Hazard - Ramsey - Sterling - Siggy - Puncheon
Costa - Rooney - Naismith
0.2 ITB, 2 FTs
Thoughts:
- Rooney has bought at least another week in my team while I downgrade elsewhere to free up money for investing up-front. In the long-term I want Costa, Wellbeck plus one other premium striker
- Hazard, Cahill and maybe Puncheon are three players I'm thinking of shifting.
- I'm happy enough that Hazard will come good but considering he is supposed to be a "flat-track bully", I'm thinking there may be better value elsewhere considering he has City and United away plus Arsenal at home in the next 5. A sideways move to Fabregas seems pointless
- Cahill - Chelsea in the past have been known to tighten up for big games...but I'm still not sure this is reason enough to keep Cahill when I can save 1.5-2m getting the right player to rotate with my 4 exisiting defenders and get 3 out a week with a decent chance of a clean sheet.
- Puncheon would go for a cheap 5th mid, freeing up over a million. A shame really, since I think he's offered exactly what I expected, but he doesn't have a straight-forward run of games and at the moment I'm forced to bench either Naismith or at least 6m in midfield.
Who should I target in defence?
Who, if anyone, should I replace Hazard with?
Who is the 5th mid of choice?
I have Cahill & Hazard too. I'm also thinking of getting Cahill out but probably after their tough games ironically because of what you said about Chelsea tightening up in the big games.
Hazard, so frustrating right now, he is like on god-mode but no FPL points. I would keep him unless you have money issues.
Defence - you need to make a decision on CHS's defence. If you feel the cs potential has gone, remove Cahill.
Hazard - Fabregas.
Get a 4.5 cheapie and never play them. You only need 11-12 squad players at this stage of the season.I reckon use your two FTs to downgrade Cahill and puncheon to save coin and leave it spare for next week
I would do the Hazard to Fab move to save some coin. Fab is consistently picking up points and I think you might regret that. The fixtures aren't great though so you could go with Chadli instead if you wanted (I'm not sure about DI Maria yet).
Not sold on any of those players you mentions, so I'm inclined to hang on to Hazard for 1-2 more weeks
Chadli offers great value it seems but I'm not sure it makes sense selling Hazard for him yet
Cheers for the idea so far. Confirming what I thought. What about just downgrading Cahill this week, benching Puncheon (eve) or Hazard (mci) and having 2 FTs next week? Ideas for a cheap defender? Worth doubling on Southampton? I don't fancy Stoke and I'm not really sold on Liveprool's defence yet, although Moreno could offer value with his added attacking threat
Ivanovic, Baines and Bertrand would the replacements I'd consider. Ivanovic>Baines, IMO.
I'd keep Hazard for now, but if you wish to replace him : Chadli or Mirallas, or even ADM/Sanchez.
Looks like Boyd ATM. Or Cork if he maintains his spot in the starting XI ( Check with Lucy )Keeping Hazard looks like the best op, not many standout midfield options ATM, IMO. At least not stand out enough to warrant a transfer in for Hazard.
I have Bertand, not looking at Baines, also not looking to invest more in defence unless I can downgrade in midfield, maybe to Chadli as Toast suggested (just double-checked his stats and I'm impressed).
CheersSorry, didn't see him. How about Janmaat or Chambers?
- Rooney is a good long term prospect. United looked a lot better with a new formation and a new midfield. Rooney is the best option in the United attack I believe. Keep long term.
- All 3 should probably go. I'd consider Fabregas, Chadlii and Baines if you can afford it.Of course this is standard FFS advice.
Really I think Naismith should go at some point for a better striker. Hazard could stay and Baines isn't an amazing option till GW8 at least.
I think you should consider making room for Aguero soon enough but I don't think you should sacrifice Rooney to get him.
Who is playing left fullback for Atleti?
Siqueira started in the derby and the prior match against Elche, Ansaldi started the opener against Rayo Vallecano.
Cheers, will go with Siquera for UCL I think. Starting the derby is encouraging.
FFS, I missed Balo's 0.1 rise a few days ago and now Pelle's as well.
Austin --> Pelle for my FT good to go?Other strikers are Balo & Costaaaa
In response to Triggerlips post earlier regarding the 3 scenarios.
1. Because of Costa's injury I didn't captain him.
2. Because I thought Rooney wouldn't produce, I made a rash decision to trade him out for Super Mario for a hit
3. Feeling unreasonably confident in my last minute transfer, I captained Super Mario
Well, I went 0/3.. But hey, that's FPL.
Must keep looking forward.
Cheers all, I'm guessing most of you at least made 1 of those decisions correctly 🙂
Did the same as you except I cunningly Captained Sterling. ðŸ™
Which premium defender?
A] Baines
B] IvanovicKilling me too.
Ivanovic looks better stats wise. Much better, IMO.Baines
On wild card
Thoughts on any transfers?
Begovic
N.Taylor Bertand Wilson Duff Moore
Sterling Fabregas siggy Herrera
Aguero Costa Rooney
Thanks in Advance.Nice uber defence. Hutton needs to be there though imo.
Herrara and Costa are a little punty at this stage but I like the idea of 3 UTD. I believe when they hit form, 3 UTD will be a necessity.Costa a little punty?
Brainfade. Read Costa as Falcao.
Costa a punt?.With his 7 goals in 4 matches.And huttone has chelsea city everton and arsenal in the next 4.
Hey kids,
Do we have any better grip on price changes?
Specifically is Brucie or Debuchy liable to drop any time soon?
They'll both drop - it'll probably be soon but we don't know when. I'd say Debuchy is more likely to go down first and would say it'll be in the next couple of days.
Apparently not, no.
Mmm. Debuchy might, actually.
Chester....temporary blip or terminal decline?
I'm keeping him one more GW don't want to get rid of him for a hit. I'll just bench him and see it how goes later
Thoughts?
.....................Moya
.....Miranda, Manolas, Toprak
Kroos, Fabregas, Sterling, Kagawa
.......Messi, Ronaldo (C), Martinez
Handanovic, Suler, Mbemba, Do Nascimiento.
0.5 ITB
Not much strategy to it, just flooding that attack!Nice team. Is do nascimiento nailed?
No clue. I think that he's only in lots of teams because he's the only 3.0 mid. May use the 0.5 to upgrade him to someone who will play.
Just went Do Nascimiento, Miranda -> Siquera, Xhaka.
Who is mbemba and what team does he play for?
Anderlecht. Defender.
Once again, I have no clue if he will play, but he scored a few points last season so I just chucked him in as bench fodder.
Only one sub that I'm sure will play, Xhaka.
Attack looks great, but I wonder whether Mou rests Fab.
I've tried to focus on defenders who might assist/score, just personal preference. Roma's fixtures are tough, other two look good.Could do, but then again Champions League is the time that most managers will rest players.
You loaded up like mine! Yeah..it's all about getting the big boys in the game IMO.
Cool, might be doing something right!
Who are some defenders with some easy fixtures coming up?
Clyne, Bertrand, Fonte, Alderweirald
As this guy says as well, forgot SOT
Swansea, Sunderland and Stoke have quite 'nice' fixtures but given up predicting clean sheets along time ago (damn you Alan Hutton). Some going to LPool on here, not sure of that imo, some going Burnley for cheap
Duff, Berthrand, Clyne
check the ticker?
Thoughts??
Moya/Rubinho
Alaba/Jedvaj/Moreno/Manolas/Danilo
Fabregas/Kagawa/Sterling/Xhaka/Do nas...
Lenwagoalski/Messi/RonaldoLooking good!
If I play my wildcard this week, would I still get 2 FT next week
No just 1.
no, you'll have just 1FT
After reflecting on the price system, I've came to realise that we still have an advantage in terms of TV over the casuals albeit a smaller one. Reason being that prices are still rising but more significantly they are falling. Casual favourites like Crouch etc. are falling so they are losing TV in that sense. If the current trend continues I reckon by January the average TV will look something like this
Casual- 102m
FFS- 106m
This is opposed to last year where it was about
Casual- 104m
FFS- 108m
So the difference in TV I think will be about the same as before except we'll all have less money to play with. Now I will ponder over whether everyone having less money is a good or bad thing for us.
That is, ladies and gentlemen, your Price System Thought for the Day. EnjoyJust realised that I contradict myself by saying we have a smaller advantage, then saying I will ponder over whether this helps us 😳
I will stand by my latter comment
Is transferring Hazard out short term a good move? Thinking of Di Maria, Tadic, Chadli until Chelsea's fixtures ease. I'm just sure he'll start to pick up points when if I do!!! He has excellent stats just not points
Debating this myself, kicking myself over sacrificing my defence to get Hazard in over Fabregas, I want to keep the faith, he did me proud last year.
But whereas he was the main man for Chelsea last year, this year I think the points will be shared, and Costa and Fabregas are taking more than their fair share right now ðŸ™
I have 0.7
Lamela > Chadli to free up funds for Rooney > Aguero in the future OR
Just do Cahill to Baines right now?
Save the FT
Defence: Cahill Chambers Clyne Moore Baird
Why cesc isn't worth the money...
His goal threat is worse than many 6m mids. Members, check touches and shots in the box.
The conversion rate of the chances he's creating is unsustainably high. 37.5%. That's way better than anyone last year, e.g. ramsey was the best with 25%.
We either have another yaya on our hands or he will tail off.
Anyone disagree?sure he could tail off but when? might be another 4-5 weeks before he tails off.
sure his goal threat may be poor but he's heavily involved in a very good chelsea sideWait for the final point tallies among midfielders and the ridiculousness of this argument will be right there, before your eyes.
He will get 200pts over the season.
The END.
I disagree. He won't be as explosive as many other mids around his price, but he will continue to rack up the assists. He's on some set pieces, is central to every Chelsea attack, and if you've watched him this season you'll see the assists and chances he has created have been world class. He'll occasionally play as a CAM too, in arguably the most attacking team in the league.
Ok. How many chances do you think he'll make per game? 3? 4? More than that would be crazy? If he reverts to the mean he will get maybe 2 assists every 3 games. That's 4-5 ppg. Not good enough imo.
tbh he does not seem that involved in Chelsea's attacks. it's mostly him sitting back while Hazard, Costa, Schurrle and Oscar do their business. That being said he does take set pieces for a side with who are probably the most lethal in the air in the league right now. and he does end up creating atleast one world class chance(on a platter) per game. Considering the other options in the game atm i dont consider him "essential" though. Gonna watch tomorrow's game and the City game before deciding between him and hazard(and ADM)
Only problem is by then Hazard will have dropped 0.1m(not a problem if you don't own him..) and ADM/Cesc will be 0.1m more expensive. In ADM's case 0.2m since last week.
It all adds up.
I think you need to look at the bigger picture sometimes over any statistical data. His plays in a team scoring for fun, is on a no of set plays and has an impressive history of large point scores in FPL.
Hazard took a corner vs Swans that rolled to the goal. It was shocking. a minute later Cesc took one from the same spot.
Costa goal.Couldn't disagree more. Stats don't lie. Anyway, happy to come back later.
How about the stat of his total points score? I'm sure that doesn't lie either.
Exsctly. And it won't
My argument is that his ppg won't be worth his price from here in. I'll happily bookmark this and come back later this season.
Who do you think will be the top 3 scoring milfs this season?
Not relevant. Depends how many games they play. Probably gerrard, cesc, ramsey. In no particular order. Sterling close.
ppg won't justify 9.4m from here imo
I'm with you. Tough upcoming fixtures means Costa and Ivanovic is enough anyway.
Best replacement for Chester?
A. N.Taylor
B. Chambers
Thanks.
Hm chambers i think, because hes playing for better team
C. Duff
arsenal tough fixtures id go with naylor good fixtures plus seems attacking of late
Chambers I guess.. Have a look at Duff / Moore
Welbeck rose twice in short period and Ramsey once, what does it mean ?
welbeck took stronger Viagra?
More viagra more points ? 🙂
it means more people brought welbeck in
It means that less people had Welbeck and more had Ramsey
Guys is mariappa nailed on for palace ??
Wilson out for chambers for free worth it ?
"Wild" moneky
Heaton
Baines-Clyne-Naylor
Cesc-ADM-Siggy-Sterling
Pelle-Rooney-Costa
Gilks-Hutton-Boyd-Moorelooks pretty good
think I prefer bertrand over clyne thoughNo problem. Save's me another 0.2m.
ADM to Ramsey, and a possible upgrade of Moore to ->Pva/Chambers?could do
not sure who I think is better between ADM and Ramsey
Just tried to make this team, end up short about 1 M, how did you do this?
nevermind I have aguero instead of rooney, ignore me
Would really appreciate a RMT (Rate my Toast). Dry, Butter or Jam and what changes would you make?
Krul Elliot
KELLY BAIRD FERDINAND Naylor Bardsley
HAZARD Fabregas Sterling Ramsey Siggy
Costa Naismith Rooney
2 FT and 0. 2itb
I have a lot of issues in defence and would love to get Bertrand but need some cash to do so. Alternatively I try to go uber with Duff and Moore/Hutton coming in to shore up my bench. Thoughts?Why do u need Naismith since you will probaly play 3-5-2?
I had Siggy on the bench last week and may Ben bench Haz this week! I know that's a sin
Play Bertand instead of wilson(already got begovic) or double up and hope for the best?.
