We delve into the Gameweek 5 data this evening in our first members article of the week. Wayne Rooney’s new role for United comes under analysis, as do Burnley and Leicester’s displays up front, whilst a couple of north London-based frontmen are also placed under the microscope after their contrasting weekend performances.
-
Fabregas OR Sigurdsson plus £2.8m?
-
fab is looking pretty dangerous all round. Depends where the 2.8 will go though.
-
Ulloa and Fabregas or Sigurdsson and say Welbeck/Luka. I can also downgrade Ulloa to some cheapster and get both Fab and Sigurdsson 🙂
-
-
I think you should have both
-
fabfabfab
-
-
if this was the end of the season and had to make up points i would rate clyne for a cheeky captain this week. too early for such silliness though.
-
I hope youre my rival at the end of rhe season
-
which 2 transfers you make Beric?
-
Ramsey mata to fab adm
-
-
😆
-
-
I'm usually pretty far down by then and i've always wanted to get a best team score for one week. They are usually such crazy teams that get it.
-
-
Bego
Bertrand Clyne Moreno
Siggy Sterling Fab AdM
Welbeck Costa Aguero
who should i C and V ?
Worried Aguero Costa Fab rested although its currently Costa (c) RMT agrees
Thinking to Captain AdM though because of resting worries for other candidates-
Makes sense to just play it safe and go with Costa (c) and Aguero (v)
-
Captaining Costa isn't the safe pick though. If he is rested but Chelsea are losing or drawing he would get subbed on in the 2nd half just like he was against Schalke in midweek.
The safest option is to go with a player like Pelle or ADM who are pretty much 100% nailed on and should play close to 90 minutes-
Hmmm thats why AdM is apealing, was my V last 2 gws
-
-
Yep think i will play it safe, last 2 captains Balotelli gw4 and Aguero gw5 both silly moves, nice name/grav btw 🙂
-
-
Have u wildcarded?
-
Yep
-
-
This is why I vowed not to own Kun this year--vs. Hull, and you're worried to captain him, and rightfully so. Leave (but monitor) Costa as captain, and have AdM as vc.
-
Its just because of the CL games, we could have all done with winning their groups early
-
-
-
So who to dump Rooney for?
Pelle, Welbeck or Ulloa? Ulloa would make it easier to get fabregas...other 2 would mean taking a hit for Fabregas...first 2 look better though.
Cheers 🙂-
Welbeck, Pelle, Ulloa in that order IMO
-
This, but switch Pelle and Welbeck
-
I'd rank the same order
-
-
No one.
-
Why are you keeping him?
-
Because he's Wayne bloody Rooney. Shifting him after one poor appearance in which he still managed an assist is ridiculous.
-
That makes 4 poor performances out of 5. It makes sense to move Rooney on.
-
He wasn't poor against Burnley or Sunderland. I suppose that might be the conclusion for an FPL manager who didnt' watch the matches though.
-
-
-
-
You've all seen the striker stats so it should be an easy decision really, once you manage to ignore big names and price tags that is.
-
-
If I had the dosh I would dump him for Falcao or Aguero. Downgrading to Pelle is interesting though, but I already have Tadic so I might just bank the transfer.
-
I'm very tempted to sell him for Kun -4. What you rekon?
-
I wouldn't even do it for a FT to be honest. C'mon man, sure we would all like Falcao etc but transfers are valuable. Use the wisely
-
Rooney is nailed on for 90min each game and has 2 home fixtures coming up, City aren't exactly firing on all cylinders although Aguero can explode at any point of course. When fit and City on form it's Aguero all day, but this just isn't the case at the moment
-
-
I have no United bias at all (not saying Muppet does, but some people might suspect that) and I agree that I'd keep Rooney for now.
Save the FT and you can consider downgrading for someone in form next week and use the money to upgrade MF or something. But to use a FT to get rid of Rooney just before a home vs WHU where he is nailed on is pretty dumb without a plan to use the money (and I'm a West Ham fan!)
-
-
I don’t know why I support the Jets. My blood pressure just rises and rises.
-
Newcastle Jets haven't even started their season yet?
-
New York Jets sorry.
-
-
What a terrible play that was. Gino needs to throw the damn ball sometimes.
-
Not over yet, can sense a game winning Jets FG last second
-
My opponents bears defence has killed me.
-
-
Doubling up on Southampton defense, yay or nay? Clyne/Forster. If not, what other keeper should I bring in for Krul?
-
Yay I reckon
-
Had it since GW1 and has worked pretty well so far, except the benched points every time they are away.......
-
Double up. I'm all in.
-
That or begovic
-
-
Worth dropping Rooney for Pelle for a -4?
-
Not sure about the hit…but Pelle should rack the points up in the next fixture run. I have him. And double Saints is fine on the back line. I did it last year, and will do it this year again.
-
Cheers
-
-
lol this place
-
I know, it's getting silly now. 99% of people don't understand the value of FT's, 4 point hits, or WC's
-
-
Couldn't do it with the fixture, although I have both....
-
-
Should I not play Duff or Wilson this week for Chadli?
-
Would go with Duff
-
I mean this as in play Duff, bench Wilson
-
Thanks. So play Chadli & Duff instead of Duff & Wilson. Right?
-
Play chadli over duff or wisdom everytime no matter what
-
Cheers
-
-
-
-
-
-
Better question - best keeper to bring in atm?
-
Forster and Mcarthy
-
Forster or Heaton
-
I went with Forster.
-
-
Pick 2 to play for GW6: Naylor (sun), Duff (wba), Moreno (EVE). Leaning towards Naylor + Duff with Clyne as my 3rd at the moment
-
Naylor, Duff, Clyne is correct.
-
As I thought, cheers!
-
-
-
What do you think of selling rooney for Kun -4?
-
Sell him for Pelle and put the armband on him. He should destroy QPR.
-
Considering the same move actually 😀 What's putting me off is City's must win CL fixture near the Hull game.. Can't imagine Aguero getting a full 90 to save him for that game
-
Nuts.
-
Next week for free, i think this week Rooney outscores Aguero, but after almost every week Aguero on top
-
I wouldn't do it tbh.
-
-
Thoughts on Ozil now that he has his preferred #10 role back? Hopefully….
-
If he stays in the #10 and has another good performance I'll consider him
-
Not a good FPL prospect, imo.
-
We have two weeks to check out his performances before Arsenals good run. GW8 is the best to bring him in if he is looking the goods.
-
-
I just wish Krul had a better defence/team in front of him
-
I'm looking oh so sexy aren't I. 😀
-
Of all the muppets Animal was the least sexy. Miss Piggy was obviously the most sexy muppet then you are on to the males. I guess a lot of ladies would go for Kermits debonair charm, maybe Fozzy bears sense of humour or maybe even Gozo's crazy personality. But I guess chicks love a drummer
-
😆 That they do, mate.
-
-
-
Trust me, as a fan and an owner, so do I 😐
-
It only seems like yday that collo got none pts
-
Wait that almost was yesterday, i meant nine
-
-
-
I can see a nice run of form from Ozil in the near future. He looked a real threat in the hole against Villa.
-
Villa were the walking dead.
-
I think I might pull the trigger. Punted on Zaha this weekend and that bit me. I am trying to separate myself from some people. Everyone seems to have the same midfield. It's either Ozil or Schneiderlin….however I have Clyne and Pelle and would like some Arsenal cover. I know they have to visit Stamford Bridge but I like their fixtures after.
-
-
Just have a bad feeling that Rooney will score if I take a -4 to put Pelle in for him
-
Isn't that the way it always works…however, Pelle should score a brace or more! Wishful thinking, but if you are to take a chance, then who better to take a chance against than QPR's defense?
-
-
Costa
Ulloa
Siggy
Welbeck
Hutton
Top five value for money in order atm imo-
Welbeck already? Not so sure about that, would rather put Clyne
-
Striker for arse at about seven mil, but you carry on and prefer clyne
-
Not denying that he's a good pick up but top 5 value for money? Not for me
-
I really dont see why not when hea ginnna be cf for arsenal toll girouds back
He was priced as a man u sub, now hes a first team gunnet-
Good point, will pick him up after 2 weeks
-
-
-
-
-
Wash your mouth out.
Siggy
Welbeck
Clyne
Heaton
Duff-
Counting on burnley keeping up these cs then? Costa would be 13 or somessthing if they knew how hed fit in so wdll, hes gunna getf loadsa goals!
-
Dyche isn't nicknamed "The British Mourinho" for nothing.
-
Costa will be 13/14 mill next season.
-
-
-
FPL says:
Ulloa
Clyne
Duff
Dier
Heaton-
Ah yes but im thinking of points to come, not those that have been
-
Yeah, I know, but most of those will still be up there. Only really Dier that likely won't be.
-
I would think only ulloa might be in that top five come the end of the season
-
-
-
-
-
Call me crazy but I may need to take a -12 to sort my team out, don't want to WC and could benefit me in long term to avoid WC-ing
-
Nah just wc, burns a hole otherwise. Use it wisely and save the 12 points.
-
It's just 12 points. One goal from a defender and you'll get it back.
-
-
Friends Team im looking after for a month while hes away..... Wondering the best moves going forward for the next 2/3 weeks
1FT and 1.4 ITB
Krul Foster
Wisdom Bertrand Colo Moore PVA
Mata Sigi Dyer Fab Sterling
Rooney Costa Ade
My thinking was -4 for Mata and Ade out with ADM and Pelle/Ulloa in..... Any takers or changes?-
Other option was Mata and Dyer out for ADM and Scheiderlin or Downing.....
-
Friends team looking after while he's away? What is he an astronaut!? Seriously people need to take there fantasy more seriously, it's not a joke! The proposed transfers look good tho!
-
Yh hes working away for a month so as i have the best record out of our group of friends he asked me to help.....all for a cut at the end of the season obvs if he cashes in our ML 😀 lol
And preferences on Pelle or Ulloa? Hes a leicester fan (Idiot) and i know hed prefer Ulloa, but i just see Pelle outscoring him til at least xmas...-
Both r decent picks but I've gone Pelle.
-
-
-
-
Pelle in for Ade, take the -4 on ADM for Mata
-
Thoughts for this change in 2-3 weeks?
Morneo, Naismith and Moore --> Baines, Lukaku and Vlaar
or
Moreno, Naismith, Moore and Tadic --> Baines, Welbeck, Vlaar and Ramsey-
Second one.....
-
-
I think Pelle has just passed Welbeck as my preferred FT this week...
It's gonna be a close one...-
Danny All day
-
Take Pelle and slap the armband on...
-
I did Naismith to Pelle already....happy with that..
-
Don't do that. Will regret.
-
Hmm camp is split...
-
Pelle's fixture run doesn't have Chelsea next week…oh and he has QPR this weekend. My Nana could put a brace in against them.
-
-
-
-
No sticky for the price changes?
-
Moreno or Wisdom?
-
GJ
-
I'd actually play Wisdom this weekend. Everton will score against Liverpool and then you need Moreno to have attacking points. WBA will hopefully ride the Tottenham shut out even though they suck.
-
Not a fair comparison. Wisdom shud only be considered as bench fodder. Moreno is 1.5 million more!
-
Yeah but with Pool's shaky defense I'd need attacking points from him while Wisdom has Burnley at home.
-
Burnley have got to score at some point. I agree though I am relying on attacking points, but he looks likely to get them.
-
-
Who got the clean sheet last weekend though and who got 3 goals blasted in against them. When pool get their sh*t together I agree he will be an asset. Until them I'd risk this one for the weekend. Just me though.
-
-
Any except Pool defender
-
Wisdom.
Up against a Burnley side who have scored just once. -
wis
-
-
Already took -8 to put out a few fires and to avoid burning my WC. Anything else worth fixing?
Forster (Myhill)
Clyne Duff Wisdom (Moreno, Rose)
Sterling Fab ADM Siggy (Cattermole)
Costa(c) Rooney Ulloa-
If you're on -8, I'm pretty sure you're done fixing anything 😛
-
I think a -8 is plenty. Step away from the computer
-
Loooool will do
-
-
-
My tema looks badass for next week
-
what happened to your keyboard today Beric? 😯
nothing serious, i just found it funny

Hi Guys,
De Gea
Ivanovic Duff Clyne (Wisdom Bruce)
Sterling Hazard Ramsey Siggy (Elmohamady)
Costa Rooney Naismith
1FT / 1.5M ITB
I missed the Naismith for Ulloa yesterday, is it still worth it?
Or should I downgrade a mid to get Pelle in?-
Hazard to Fab and Naismith to Pelle
-
I am definitely keeping Hazard in. Love this player and believe he will brace soon enough
-
Fair enough, was just trying to squeeze Pelle in. Go for Ulloa then
-
-
-
or downgrade Ivanovic? but it will be a 4pts hit...
-
Only thing worth taking a hit for imo would be Pelle
-
I would ride out Ivan for this game week…give him one more shot. I think Ulloa is worth it for Naismith though.
-
-
-
Bit the bullet, if Southampton concede to QPR I may break something
-
Pick as best defence u can at the start or when u wildcard, play the ones woth the best chance of a cs each week, only sell any of them to get money or maybe get baines otherfwise dnt think abt them
-
-
Naismith --> Pelle for -4 worth it?
-
Yes
-
-
Just noticed I have crept into the top 100......................of the dead team challenge that is. Woo Hoo!
-
😀
-
Been an interesting experiment. Just shows having Luis and De Jong quickly results in putting out less than 11 men
-
De Jong will come good! Looking forward to taking ANOTHER punt on him in 4 months time
-
Was he ever fit enough to sign?
-
He's gonna be great value in January that's for sure. I've already made a mental note to keep track of him when he returns to be the first to profit from his inevitable undervaluing.
-
-
-
-
Link?
-
click on Zep
-
Just about to release the update...
-
-
-
A) ADM
B) Fabregas + £0.4m?-
I would pick B even if the 0.4 wasnt a factor
-
Difficult to pick. Both would be my preference
-
This
-
Hah, I have to pick this week though! Other MF are Siggy, Ramsey and Marney. Could do Ramsey>the other one at some stage but I'd have to raise a mill or so from somewhere and have more pressing issues than upgrading Rambo
-
-
Need em both
-
FFS! It's not an option, at least not yet. I'd have to take a hit to sell Rambo PLUS raise the money from selling someone else, which is obviously dumb as fk. Sorry, just irritates me when people say stuff like that 😀
-
Ok but it sounded like you would have one the other, not who should I get first
-
-
