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 Southampton’s new strikers and also analyse a number of favourably priced midfielders from Spurs, Everton and Burnley over the season so far.
So it looks like the majority will be playing two Chelsea attackers away at the Etihad?
Its not ideal, but like you say everyone in the same boat
Many will captain Costs, although i wont be one of them
It appears so.
Sorry to barge in on your question Demi, but do you think Rafael is nailed on in the United squad? How about Evans? Looking for a replacement for Jones.
Don't think either are to be honest. Rafael is always an injury worry and Evans hasn't been in good form. Rojo would be safer than both for now.
Interesting. Was hoping to save some cash on Rafael but maybe I'll look elsewhere for a defender.
Thanks!
There's always Blackett. 😎
:///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
😀
I want longterm 😉
Not I
Nor I
if they don't get injured tomorow yep
2-2 ? 1-1 ? Mourinho's side don't look like a team to sit in.
They've played dross so far though, including Everton. I doubt Chelsea would have been that open all game if Everton hadn't given away 2 soft early goals.
Big thread/post on last page.
Many like myself have three as of this moment.
Some benching some selling some playing all three
Minefieldcheers, will check it out
Think they'll score a couple
25 - the number of crosses (!!!) Victor Moses played in at home vs. Leicester City over the weekend.
!!!!!
I predicted him to bag some pts..sadly for him it wasn't to be. That side of the Leicester defence is the weakest portion of any defence in the league for conceding chances. Handy to kmow that is..HAZARD !!!...http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/6543/
Check out the chance conceded by Chelsea on the right as well...rubbish..
a few years ago he had 60 shots before he scored a goal...perhaps his crosses are better?
No..he's just rubbish..But if a LW is gonna come good it might just be when playing against the right hand side of Lei...
Mad to bench Alaba tomorrow with City rolling in and play Danilo home to BATE instead? Or play both and bench a 5 pointer from today? Could use some advice!!!!! 🙂
hard,maybe play danilo yep, only 1goal conceded by porto this season and better fixture
Cheers, LA. Leaning this way and leaving Alaba out, but seems crazy to do.
Thinking about caulker to moore and shawX to Ivan
Clyne is my other defender
Thoughts?Good transfers.
What do you think about Courtois to Forster?
(Would be how i would get Ivan since i already have fab and costa)Would rather have Ivan than Courtois.
0 & 2
Cooks found out
Ingram crocked
Defence ranked joint last in fantasy.
WHO DAT?
.........meanwhile in Foxboro - normal service has been resumed.
😛
epic game ........
http://fantasy.nfl.com/league/2457543/team/8/gamecenter?week=2#teamMatchupFull=teamMatchupTabs-8%2C%2Fleague%2F2457543%2Fteam%2F8%2Fgamecenter%253FgameCenterTab%253Dtrack%2526trackType%253Dsbs%2526week%253D2%2CreplaceCooks wasn't found out they were running out 5 dbs all game long to take away the wide receiver play hence the running rampant and the Jimmy Graham rampaging. 6 of 1 half dozen of the other, saints will be fine.
This. Although we're in trouble actually. Ingram should've had 30 carries for 200 yards but our coach has one of those blind spots and it's the running game. I didn't even look at my teams this week although I did at least drop Saints D after last week.
But Katie, your Pats suck just as much as my Saints. Don't kid yourself.lol
saying the Pats suck is dumb.lol
The Dolphins did you lot. And Gronk will break in no time.You're better than that. They don't suck and you know it. They aren't walking the AFC East anymore like they used to, but will be in a dog fight for a playoff spot. Come on MRU.
Same for us. Which sucks relative to what we're used to.
Indeed. League of parity though, I think it's brilliant.
I'm getting Robinson on my fantasy team. Hopefully he comes good as an Ingram replacement.
Is it worth using a FT to switch out Krul or Chester? No other issues but feels like a luxury and maybe I should just bank. Other keeper doesn't play and can field Cahill/Clyne/PVA this week.
sell chester or save
Save and do it next week.
newcastle have good fixtures and might get their act together...I'd just go softly softly and replace chester and albrighton over the next 2-3 weeks
Thanks - helpful comments
ronaldo stick or twist?
I will probably twist to Messi. Probably won't be much in it.
Krulliot
ShawX Clyne Caulker (______ Wisdom)
Up to 5m to spend, but preferably less... fill in the blank please?Shackell or Chambers
Naylor
Else, Duff/MooreOptions I've considered are...
Bertrand, Naylor, Duff, Moore, and maybe Shackell but probably not him...Bertrand I'd actually like best, I love a double up on defense and now is a great time to do so with Saints looking great. Really depends on what you are planning on doing with the funds and where you prioritize if you want to spend 5, 4.5, or 4.0.
Well tbh I'm not really planning on using the funds just now, but Cavies will drop soon, and I plan to drop him too, so I think rather than saving the FT and doing it next week, I might as well do it now before he drops...
That way I can work with the extra cash next week if I chose to...
I'm feeling Duff tbh... Naylor is good but I'd be tempted to play him this week and I'm already happy with what I have in defense...Makes sense to me. Burnley defense has looked pretty quality. Go for Duff if you reckon his place won't be under threat in the near future.
Actually looks like Moore might be the better option, he seems to fit better in my defensive rotations...
Probably Naylor.
PvA, really not a fan of Neil Taylor.
I'm almost annoyed that Fab and Ramsey have made themselves undroppable. I prefer having flexibility in my team and going for my own hunches, but its so hard to move away from the rigid Fab-Ramsey-Sterling-Siggy foursome :/
Ramsey is not hard to move away from. Fixtures not great and you can buy him back for very little loss if any.
How has Ramsey made himself undroppable?
Food for thought.Ramsey was rubbish tonight
He's been rubbish since the Everton game. Lucky to get a goal there.
He's regressed by my eye from last season. He is being so wasteful launching these long shots into the stands, but he's coming up with these individual moments of brilliance in each game to get returns. Odd season so far for him.
this...very disappointed with him atm, but yet still provides those moments...system definitely isn't helping him though
That said, one blank through four games is pretty, pretty, pretty good.
hmm...we need to return to the 4-2-3-1 to get the most out of him...the 4-1-4-1 is just to accommodate wilshere, but has thrown out the balance
Seems like Arsenal and Liverpool have opposite issues.
Brendan has played 4231 twice this week and it has failed miserably compared to 433.
The new pricing system have made players much less undroppable. You could easily swap Ramsey out while Arsenal have tough fixtures and only lose 0.1 or 0.2.
Very different to the last 2/3 years.
Di Maria deserved 4 bonus points against QPR.
I have a feeling those that are being patient and sticking with Ramsey will not be rewarded this weekend. ADM looks a real handful, should terrorize the premier league.
I know he won't play QPR at home every week, but I can't think of any defender capable of man marking him.Mail FPL towers to petition for the extra bonus points 😀
He scored a lucky goal. Otherwise, he did not look like scoring at all.
He doesn't need to score to be effective.
Look at Fabregas.
* Top tip.
Sign Assaidi tonight and you will gain 1.6m in team value.
Thank me later.I'll pass.
Your loss 😉 If you wildcarded during the international break you could have made 0.1 on Rooney.
That's mighty, but the pure profit to be made on Assaidi is crazy to ignore.If he scores a goal in the next game, I'll give it a thought, how about that? 😛
😆
Welbecks failure to convert coud become a problem. Will give him a chance at Villa , if he blanks there might have to join the Pelle club for their QPR game
Making moves in preparation to ditch him for a Kun-Costa-Roon frontline. I think he'll settle. But his finishing has always been the big question mark.
Once he gets his first he should settle down , but it better be quickly
Yup. I'm getting twitchy already as well.
Ugh. The boy just got there and was inches off a goal on the chip. If you got him with the mind to keep as a cheap placeholder that's one thing, but I thought he looked incredibly bright against City and two games is hardly a long enough trial to me.
It was Joe Hart. Just slide it the feck under him.
Danny and his chips. 😡
Really not liking the look of Henderson in my team.
Surely not worth a -4 to bring in Chadli, right? I can't believe I'm even considering.IDK honestly wouldn't hate it. Chadli could easily neutralize that hit with the fixture incoming and would leave you well set up with him in the squad. The logical side of my brain is thinking it's probably not wise to do though 🙂
I know, so you see the issue at hand! I still don't rate Chadli as a player, but if he scores again I may have to change my tune.
Regardless of whether or not you rate him his positioning and stats cannot be questioned. He's a prospect worthy of being on our radars.
Hey Walsh, how warm is it?
In LA?
😉
It's been honestly fking hot as hell lately. Had to drive into the valley the other day it was like 108 or something silly. Its been 90ish where I live though. No humidity though, so no bother 😀
I've avoided it for 2 days. Going out for dinner shortly but it is still hot.
Over 100 for me.
Too hot...whereabouts are you?
About an hour west of you. Thousand Oaks area.
Ah cheers. Well stay cool TM enjoy your dinner, mate.
Cheers mate, you too.
This is why man created air conditioning.
So if Schneiderlin scores in his next game, do we start to take him seriously FPL-wise (as in the thought of transferring him in)?
The same about Chadli?maybe
chadli looks a good option already
its going to be a long season for us arsenal fans...after spending all this money, to still be deficient in so many areas and put in piss poor performances every week...
I genuinely feel for you. The sensible ones like you anyway. 😀
Sri Lankan?
Out of LMS 🙁ha yeah was a shocker for me 🙁
yeah, i am - nice to see you pick that up TM 🙂I have played cricket for many years. Hard to miss.
Surprised to see you go out so early tbh.indeed - i love playing cricket too 😀
yeah, i guess thats what happens when you dont have costa and rooney 🙁
I was shocked how poor Arsenal were tonight AR... Wilshere the only one who looked like he was trying.
hmm, dreadful...this 4-1-4-1 is idiotic, just to accommodate jack, but ramsey and ozil are suffering...arteta is a joke too...cant wait for theo to be back, should signal a return to the 4-2-3-1
Arteta clearly needs to go. A week or two break for Ozil would benefit him IMO.
yep. Jack in the hole for a couple see what he can do
or caz, but isnt as bad on the wing as ozil is
I don't know where I got tonight from 😆
Just insane that we didn't get a DM. Whether it was a splashing on Carvalho (worth it probably) or getting Song for a season, or Diame for 3m! Ughhhhhhh
I know no one knows, but..
FISo has Siggi at 69 NTI and TFPL has him at 4,769
Screw it, I still have no idea whether I'll sell Mata for him anyway. Friday, it is.
Night chaps. Enjoy DZ 🙂Doosra: Can you add Fabregas to your "Deadly Assassins" table?
Mannone, (Krul)
Ivanovic, Moreno, Clyne (Wilson, Wisdom)
Siggy, Fabergas, ADM (vc), Sterling, (Zaha)
Costa, Welbeck, Adebayor (c)
1FT 0 MITB
Krul to Hamer or Zaha to Boyd to free up cash
next week Welbeck to Pelle, Dat Guy again missed a few sitters v Dortmund and Pelle got nice fixtures
or save transferThe nightly price rise lottery
Siggi
Hutton
Di Maria
Naylor
which will it beNone?
Cavies & Caulker have been threatening to drop for the past week, it has to happen eventually...
I'm not selling Caulker though, but I might let go of Cavies tonight before any potential drop, since I'm planning to drop him anyway...I don't care anymore. I know it's important but the last two seasons I was 111m + in the run in and it made no difference to my crap rank.
If you have a bad start, you have a bad start and there's no way you can recover and get in top 10k, regardless of TV/ SV.
Bad start = 1m after 5/6 weeks.night all 😉 for real this time!
Wheres that fighting spirit, i have done a million to 770 from such a position
Costa, AdM, Duff and maybe Blackett to rise
Anyone else have 5 players from SWA SO game?
Forster, clyne, pell
Naylor, siggy
Play them all? Bench clyne?Probably me. No idea who to play/bench from them.
1 1 random scorers might kill us...
Could start mccarthy if he starts for qpr also have pieters from stoke.Yep I'll probably start McCarthy and Clyne, benching Naylor.
Four here. Benching one of my Saints D and playing Naylor and Siggy.
Will Di Maria rise tonight?
I'm thinking he will.Very likely. Surely tomorrow if not.
2nd rise for GW so might not have enough.
First rise was after roughly 15k GW transfers in on Saturday. I suspect it will be very close.
Interesting. Haven't been following that closely this season.
The unknown which makes it so hard to predict is just how many of those are WC transfers.
Good point.
The issue with WC transfers is that some hit the WC button on the last day rendering the earlier transfers counting & defeating the purpose.
Is Chambers a strong bet to start come the weekend? Or should I just ready Bertrand?
well chambers will start on the weekend - was named on the bench, obviously not fit enough to start...
Sitting comfortably in the top 17,000 overall with 2 FT.
No idea what i should do with them.
-------------Krul Foster---------
----Dier --- Chambers--- Clyne---- ( PVA, Wisdom)
Mata -- Fabregas -- Siggy -- Lamela -- Sterling
-----Costa-----Rooney----- (Naismith)
Concerns-
-Mata (lost 0.2mil already) Next fixture away at Leicester
-Rooney (lost 0.1mil)
-Chambers (lack of gametime?)
-Lamela (better options) next fixture home at WBA
Hold one transfer or do 2? any input appreciated?oh and 1.2mil in the bank, first thought is to do Chambers to Bertrand (double Southampton with favourable fixtures)
Nice team. If you are happy with Naismith then perhaps Wisdom out as WBA have become useless. Foster & Wisdom seems excessive either way.
I could do Naismith -> Ulloa maybe... or find more money for a big upgrade to a premium could be doable..
Wisdom out seems sensible. thanks!
Mata to Angel, hold the other.
I've considered this but it seems a bit sideways for me and a short-term transfer as after 2 more gameweeks they play Everton, Chelsea, City, Arsenal in the next 6 gameweeks.. it all depends on if United look like they're improving i guess..
It's Angel. Pay no attention to fixtures. There are about 4 truly great players in this league and he's one of them. He can put City or Chelsea to the sword.
Any idea who will be replacing Debuchy when he is out?
Chambers.
Chambers was on the bench yesterday. Will wait and see what Wengar say on Friday.
I moved to a new job recently hence not able to be as active as last time during DZ.
BTW happy wildcarding Innsie!
Chambers? not 100% sure though
Chambers - much more defensively minded then Bellerin
Real's fifth goal... wow...
No kidding, Zep. You or anyone else know a good website for CL highlights? Fox are so terrible here in the States.
Hoofoot is awesome...
Cheers!

poor quality, but should do the business 🙂
modric pass to bale 😯😯
ourmatch.net is what I use.
http://i.imgur.com/nByvFsm.png
Mad to have 2 x 3.9 defs!???Yes.
Don't like it.
Yes. Find the extra 0.2 and get Moore and Duff.
I done it
Good!
I might be one of the last remaining Jovetic owners on this site. Does city's failure to beat Arsenal mean that Pellegrini might switch back to a two man frontline?
2 man may still not including Jovetic starting though.
Because of Dzeko's shining record this season, no doubt.
Sitting inside the top 1k in UCL, fairly chuffed with that...
No keeper though... 🙁
How's everyone else doing?im 18k - no keeper too 🙁
Who you planning on switching to?
Probably Lodygin or Subasic here...yeah im eyeing up one of them - maybe tomorrow others will become options too...
did you make any manual subs? I switched my whole bench in 🙂
2,508 on 50 with neymar fabregas ivan and bruno martins to play later
sticking on ronaldo captainSame here, heard talk of switching to Messi, I think that's fairly mental...
Messi, Jackson Martinez & Fabregas to play...messi could well outscore ronnie as could neymar but im happy to stick regardless..
should be assured of a solid start anyway
What to do with this mess?
1 FT 2.3m ITB
Bego
Debuchy Clyne Cahill Ferdinand Moore
Fabregas Ramsey Siggy Sterling Albrighton
Balotelli Rooney Naismith
1. Debuchy is a priority to go out. To whom?
PvA, Chambers, Duff comes to mind
2. Costa is obviously essential and I still don't have him.
Fan of Pelle so woud want to bring him in. Should I bring in one now for a hit?
3. No City player but they're a minefield..
