Our first members article of the week delves into the data from the previous round of fixtures. We cast an eye over the displays of Liverpool, as well as Arsenal, Leicester and Southamptonโs new strikers and also analyse a number of favourably priced midfielders from Spurs, Everton and Burnley over the season so far.
Just sub Messi in for your lowest scorer...
Don't need to, he's already there..
I've missed Balo's goal and Sterlings assist as they sit staring from my bench....
Sterling didn't get an assist. I have him, just 2 points ๐
oh well...that's good...My plan was to load on Madrid and Liverpool for tonight and Chelsea tomorrow for any flops..
Stopped playing three years ago...
What happened? Was down last night but seemed ok today.
Set my team up just fine. Got the team news on here and went to get shut of Kagawa and another none starter. When I scrolled up with my IPAD it drag and dropped Messi in for Balotteli and then froze...Left my Tuesday players on the bench for me and Messi as (c) for tonight...It wouldn't unfreeze at all..
Ah, more the way they set it up on I-pad than the site itself. I tried making changes on the phone before work this morning. A phukn disaster trying the scrolly price changer thing and dragging and dropoing players to the bench and they wander off. No bother on a desktoo at work. No forward thinking there. The FPL site is golden on desktoo, laptop, tablet, i-pad and phone.This management stuff is stressful ๐
I got Moreno's 6 pts stuck on the bench like I'm a newbie.
Stupid thing eems to malfunction the more busier it gets........No 'seems to' about it. Definitely does. Deaf blind donkeys could develop a better site that can cooe with the inevitable contention it gets.
Should I get Clyne or Bertrand?
Bertrand. Use the comparison tool in the members' area, but don't just look at the headline figures, delve deeper.
Bertie
Either. Both. Clyne.
Bertrand. Cheaper and similar stats.
Colo Moore duff terry PVA
Is terry > Baines a good transfer given I can't get kun for roo if i get him in?Other option is Bertrand
yes.
Baines is good this GW.
I guess the thing is, will I want Baines after this gw?
If I have no use for my 2FT's which would you do:
A) Krul>McCarthy, save 0.5
B) Wisdom>Moore/Duff
C) Clyne>Bertrand, save 0.1
Its either use both FT's on a Fab-for-Baines type manoeuvre, or a minor one like one of these three.B, Duff
Haven't looked at his stats in the members area yet. Are they strong compared to wisdom and/or moore?
Also, Wisdom plays at home vs Burnley in two weeks. surely a good case to keep seeing how burnley cant score goals...
Wisdom I think. And Moore.
B with Duff
sell bojan save the other
somebody ELSE with a faulty link
why? My link works fine, its just that you need to click to get to GW4. Not sure how to change that...
Change the 1 to a 4 or use the history link instead.
see the FAQ's on this site mate
Thoughts on my team (WC this week)
Heaton (Hamer)
Ivanovic Chambers Rojo (Duff) (Moore)
Sigurdsson Fabregas Downing ADM Sterling
Costa Rooney (Ulloa)
0.0 ITBLooks good. Downing plays Liverpool and United next though. I like that pick though, maybe for a few weeks down the line....
I am a United fans so a bit biased there. Downing and Ulloa will rotate based on fixtures. Since Ulloa against United this week, perhaps Downing could score/assist against his former club at home. Thanks.
ulloa more likely to put one past de gea, IMO
ulloa and downing is a huge no
Any suggestion who to replace them with?
I wouldn't be too sure about that...
Really nice..Hope the Downing Ulloa picks work well...Both have pluses, good stats for Wham and good stats for Ulloa in his own right..
None of my rival in mini league have these two combo..
I've watched 2 of the Leicester matches, and Ulloa is a pleasure to see on the ball. I'd have him over Naismith for that price
get de gea
sell rojo and ivan...get 2 decent but cheaper defenders
improve downing either to chadli or somebody more expensive
get naismith unless you went for chadli in which case you should have cash for welbeck or pelleGood advice.Thanks
Albrighton is my bench fodder this week but is going down supposedly.
Should I:
a) leave him be
b) Transfer to Boyd 4.4
c) Transfer to Zaha and bench
d) Transfer to someone else
2FTs and 3m in bank
Appreciate the advice
C. Unless you need that money elsewhere, why not get a cheap bargain.
Depends if you have any more pressing need for the FT's this week. I'd only waste the FT on him if there's absolutely nothing else to do to improve your team for next GW.
As for Zaha, it depends on whether you're happy to sink 5.5 into your bench regularly.Thanks guys.
Team is strong this week:
Bego
Caulker Moreno Colloccini
Rambo Sterling Lamela Siggy
Rooney Costa Naismith
Gilks Chester Albrighton Cahill
Dont think there is anything more pressing particularlythis
Pick 2:
A) Ramsey
B) Sterling
C) Di Maria
Thanks in advance ๐ab
AC
Pick 2 yourself ๐
a and b
C ²
B and C. Ramsey has been very poor.
My esteemed colleagues! Who needs to leave my team 1st? Krul? Moreno? or Sterling?
KRUL
Ivanovic - Clyne - MORENO (Wilson,Moore)
Fabregas - Di Maria - STERLING - Siggy (Boyd)
Ballotelli - Costa - Welbeck
1FT & £0.2 ITB......who's your 2nd keeper? everyone else looks good.
McCarthy, Rick.
Moreno.
Any suggestions for me, Doosra?
Only Krul to go from those three. The other two are great options.
Balotelli
Hmm, Balotelli>who, Pepin?
Save
there's nothing wrong with moreno or sterling...it's a good team so save your transfer
Cheers Dribbler. 2FT for GW 6 may be more beneficial, I spose.
you never know when those injuries will hit
Fo sho!!
I'd save the transfer. Or ditch Wisdom.
Ty Nissa but.....I haven't got Wisdom!!
Best value Stoke defender?
wilson or bardsley. or begovic in goal
Frankie Boyle :- Live at the referendum,
"Americans making a film about what Vietnam did to their soldiers is like a serial killer telling you what stopping suddenly for hitch hikers did to his clutch"
Mental genius.I guess you had to be there.
Your chance runs out on Thursday pal.
I think Terry > Rojo may be my move this week...
Chelsea will keep a clean sheet this week.
Then Aguero out is the ft of choice surely?
Just done it for a hit after seeing his post.
Clearly Kun Aguero has zero chance at more than 2pts at the Etihad this weekend...
(Providing he makes it through tomorrow)
I'd bench if I had him for sure
Bench
Aguero
Etihad
Chelsea def so far this season.
BaffledChelsea conceded 2 goals in 6 league matches against City, Pool and Arsenal last season. No goals conceded in the away matches.
Liverpool almost won the league last season too
Solid. Only properly nailed United defender with no fitness issues, unless you have the stones to bet on Blackett as I did.
๐Sounds good... until he lives up to his name and gets a rojo-card ๐ ๐
im leaning more towards rafael
For this week!!
Bego
Ivano. Baines. Duff
Siggy. Sterling. Eriksen. DiMaria
Naismith. Costa. Aguero
McCarthy. King. Clyne. WisdomNice defense. Bold.
Baines goes to Rafael
Eriksen back to Fab
If necessaryI'm thinking Fab>Boyd, caulker/wisdom>Baines for this week with 2fts, and then Baines>Ivan next week.
Is that smart or silly?
I remember the time I was not a member of this site last season and used to think the guy in the cover picture of the article had great stats for last week ๐
haha they used to that a lot think they are wise to it now
Pieters and Balo are concerns, any good replacements?
Also have 5 players from SWA SOT game, play them?
Forster Mccarthy
Naylor PIETERS clyne moreno moore
Boyd aDM fabs sterling siggy
BALO costa pelle
1FT, 1.2
Hello how is this looking is this team lined up correctly for the weekend? I'm on -4 had to shift Debuchy and Bojan.
DDG
Lovren, Chambers, Shawcross
Siggy, Ramsey, Sterling, Fabregas
Pelle, Costa, Rooney
Clyne, Hutton, Cattermole
How very template!
I joke. Really like it tbh.
Thinking my front 7 this week also.Cheers thanks! Who are you popping the armband on?
I brought tadic in last week. Will be doing tadic > Boyd and 4.5 striker > pelle depending how things go this week.
Muppet?
Aye.
What's the craic wee man?
Moreno>Blackett ๐
-4?
Nah. Does feel like a bit dubious transfer though obviously. Should've never sold him. What's on with you?
Sold who Moreno? Shit all happening man.
Waiting for Friday to make me transfer.Yes, what a horrible pick. Don't know why I let that bandwagon sway me. Knew Pool were horrible defensively. So yeah, pretty daft bringing Blackett right back in straight away with 5 less points to show for it but ah well. Decent week all in all.
You love Blackett haha
๐
Think we're in the DeadZonersSpace.. so this totally off topic Question can;t be ingored now.
Here in the Netherlands we've got some awesome Quizez on TV, like Met Het Mes Op Tafel or Twee voor Twaalf. Quite sure no-one ever heard of this. Do you Aussies, Americans, Englishman, Canadian, Indians have any good (general knowlegde) quizez on TV? Which I can Download/Stream?
Thanks in advance!
(Pellé is the best)Afghan dope you smoke?
Or bubblegum?QI in the UK is funny and quite interesting too
I thought the Netherlands was fun!!!
Honestly thou Question of Sport.
Eggheads is also a real fave.
Loads like Pointless too. I don't.Eggheads makes you want to put your fist through the tv when CJ is on.
CJ is a knob.
Mastermind?
University Challenge.
The ChaseOooooo the brain on you Epic Fail.
Thanks all!
Don't need the Afghan dope ... we have the Dutch Stuffffff ๐
@Tajularrif..Bad couple of fixtures coming up for Downing but with your mids you can hide him for those..then a pair of decent fixtures. Wham look much better this season so you MIGHT be on to something nice...Depends if others can do something with his chances...At 5.5..do it..http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/4382/
What your stats say for strikers? Need me a Dzeko replacement.
Surely pelle?
yep..
Thanks.
Good one thanks.
message to everybody
if you're going to ask for help it's good to post your link for several reasons I can't be bothered to explain
if you don't post your link the advice you get WILL generally be worse
YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR LINK EVERY SEASON
please see the FAQ'sWhere's yours?
have I asked for help?
team 1867 (don't know how to copy and paste on this gizmo)
Hi guys, any suggestions on my team for Gameweek 5:
Begovic, (Guzan)
Dier, Williams, Lovren, Coloccini, (Clyne)
Ramsey (C), Sigurdsson (VC), Chadli, Mata, (Larsson)
Pelle, Costa, (Sturridge)
I was thinking of maybe using my FT to bring in Adebayor in place of Sturridge and play him as Captain, then play Ramsey as VC and bench Williams. Any thoughts?
CheersLose Sturridge > Aguero or adebayor. Adebayor def a decent captain shout this weekend. Consider Rooney/Falcao too (if the latter looks like he's gonna start).
I only have 0.1m in the bank so Aguero isn't an option unfortunately, but that's great advice, thanks for the help!
Think I might go with Adebayor and maybe bring Sturridge back once he's over his injury.
Chester > Duff
Welbeck > Pelle
for -4?First one fine. Second one silly.
Horribly appealing, though. Form (arguably) and fixtures-wise!
listen to the muppet
cheers
Think you're best off just fling the first one this week.
*doing
Doing Chester > Duff only DOES sound reasonable, I might do that in the end.
Yeah, I've made up my mind. Chester > Duff. Thanks all!
just watched liverpool game, what a shambles
Moreno their best player though, looks worth keepingThe pen they got at the end was horrible. So lucky to get the win.
Already done Moreno>Blackett. Was a horrible pick sadly.
hes a good pick imo much better than blackett
We'll see I guess. Pool on for about two CS this season. He better be the second coming of Bale.
this although it does depend how he uses the cash to be fair
O_O
Looks like you have 2 fans TL.
Both scored 81 this week. ๐did they have same team?
I've been telling him.
๐lol they owe me a drink ๐
They won't even acknowledge you. They pressed the transfer button etc.
well they behind me so they welcome to keep copying
Seems 1 just copied WC team & the other has http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/916/transfers/history/
Atleast he copying the right person !!
Will throw in a late transfer somewhere
Ridiculous.
I'm sure others copy some here but these 2 have taken the cake. Guess that's par for the course if you find good sources but makes playing the game less fun as you aren't even playing.
Agreed, it wouldnt be much fun , but i guess its given him a good start, but he would feel silly if i had tanked on my card
I've not quite got in the habit of reading your blog yet but I do like it
Throw in a different move then get someone else. See if they copy. ๐
Most of my transfers have worked out badly so far, the copiers wouldnt of been happy if they had done the Jovetic shuffle
No Liverpool defender is a good pick at the moment. Defence is pourous.
Who should i drop for ADM:
Fab
Ramsey
Sterling
or no-one?No one.
Rams
None of the above imo
None
I think this will be my last week of staying up until 2.45 am for price changes.
It's just not as interesting as seasons past.....yes its ruined the nightly chats, it now a lottery.
Have written an articke on it
http://whichtransfer.wordpress.comNice one TrigIips! I saw this earlier and marked it with a book!!
really liked that piece, confirmed some thoughts. One question-- Can players change price before all games that weekend are played? And if so was that the case last season. Thx
yes, they can change any night of the week
Aye..Feels like half the game is missing..
Definitely took away my wheeling and dealing instincts, Wakey
Off to a solid start (16K)...Grateful for advice on this squad and potential moves
A. Ramsey to ADM
B. Jelly to Naismith
C. No move
D. A and C -4
DDG (gilks)
Chambers Clyne Ivan (pva, wisdom)
Sterling Fab Sigg Rambo (marney)
Costa Roo Jelavici like your team a lot...save the transfer
Thanks guys...I'm leaning Rambo to ADM only bc Ramsey just doesnt look 100%
A
.Bego
Ivanovic. Baines. Moreno
Siggy. Sterling. Fabregas. DiMaria
Naismith. Costa. Rooney
Ill take itvery nice...I'm £1.1m short to afford that
Have 102.3m ๐
But you have Naismith. ๐
The second highest fwd in the game yes I do
352 third forward you're using in a 343
For now and with a home match v Palace.
U are the biggest troll on this site.
Nog off man.I'm not trolling. But ok then.
Can't argue with that..lovely stuff..
Can anyone see Fabregas being rested this weekend? The MNF analysis was pretty damning, and I doubt Mourinho wants a headless chicken in midfield defensively away at City...
Wouldn't be surprised if they lined up like this:
Matic Mikel
Willian Ramires HazardRamsey, Hazard, Fab, Sanchez and co are all coming up to needing a breather soon. Just a guessing game..
My current backline for this week is Moreno(whu) Duff(SUN) Naylor(SOT).
Jones is on my bench. Would you transfer him out for Bertrand this week for a FT, or just save the FT and play that back 3?Save
That's what I'm thinking too. But I'm afraid of a further drop for Jones.
Tempting to save as you don't need him this week but at the same time it's a good long term transfer for other weeks.
Exactly. If Jones weren't dropping like a stone I'd definitely just bench. But I'm worried he'll fall a further penny.
Well if you're gonna do it next week probably then just do it from now imo. If you need the 2 FTs next week for something else then just hold and take the drop.
Very good point. I might just do it this week if I'll do it next week anyway. Cheers.
i sold,released money and saved 0.1
That's true. Thanks!
That's good..I might have a dabble at that Downing punt myself for QPR at home in a couple of weeks..It's on Sky on the Sunday afternoon...Brill..5.5 and a goal and an assist already..What's not to like ?
any europa league fantasy players here?
I gave up after last season. Unless you pick from the lower seeded teams it's too hard to predict lineups for group games. And lower seeded team players will get you feck all points ๐
I'll be playing. It's a lot of fun picking players you never heard about.
I still haven't picked my team though.ok will try to be here more time to have a chat about that
I have to start Clichy or Robertson. Should I:
A) start Clichy sub Robertson
B) the oppositeI'd almost always play a guy from one of the leading clubs...that's what you pay the big bucks for
9 years, 9 months agoGutted at that stupid UEFA game, or rather it's website...30 pts with 4 non players, Balotteli (c) on my bench..Sterling not added and Messi (c) sat doing nothing in my team tonight...What a f up...!!!...
