Our first members article of the week delves into the data of the nine matches played out so far. A number of forwards come under assessment this evening, with Liverpool, United and West Ham’s new frontmen all analysed, whilst we also take a look at City’s resurgent Bosnian, Chelsea’s midfield and Swansea’s worrying lack of impact in the final third.
Any news on Chadli?
Wisdom. Chadli...
Bego
Clyne. Baines. Ivanovic
Siggy. Sterling. DiMaria. Chadli
Costa. Aguero. Ulloa(c)
have basically the same team except Bertrand for clyne and pelle right now for ulloa but I might switch to ulloa for GW7
Clyne and Bertrand are interchangeable imo all year. Bertrand this/one week. Clyne next. Bertrand. Clyne etc etc
Both solid a.t.mDidn't really write that properly. They will score about the same imo
Probably. Stats are in favour of Bertrand thus far, but not by a country mile. I went with Bertrand cus he was cheaper at the time and had better stats, but it looks to be close.
Ulloa (c)
😯
ulloa captain is awesome
i like Ulloa captain, great pick. He'll be my VC but I still fancy Costa to score at least one against Arsenal. Tight call though.
DDG (myhill)
Caulker - Clyne - Chester (wisdom - moore)
Sterling - Hazard - siggy - Ramsey (boyd)
Rooney - Balo - Welbeck
Worth a WC?
so many players i need to get rid of:
-Chester
-Wisdom
-Caulker
-Ramsey
-Rooney
Wisdom should not be on that list.
Rooney only one
lol stop trolling
he can't play until 20th october due to loan problems...not waiting out that long
its one game.
Its just the one game, theres an international break after next gw m8.
^

What they said.
That's one game, and then it's the International break.
Not something to worry about.so, WC or not?
The thing you have to consider is ; can you put out a decent team with 1 or 2 transfers. If yes, then dont wc. If no, then consider it.
No. Do the Rambo and Rooney out thing. The others can wait. Wild card after the next round, in time for the international break.
Risers: Bertrand Sterling
Fallers: Anderson D Johnson Giroud Mayuka Tiendalli Cazorla Ferreyra Buckley
Nice to see Sterling go up, that's another 0.1 to my TV 🙂
Could have left the Ramsey>Downing trade another day though. I've also come to the conclusion that Caulker must have naked pictures of someone at FPL Towers to not have fallen yet
Nice didn't expect Sterling. Also brought in Bertrand earlier (on my WC) figuring he might double rise
Finally got rid of a few highly owned players. Feels less boring
Ramsey (34.7%) -> Tadic (2.5%)
Rooney (29.1%) -> Pelle (11.6%)
Naismith (29.2%) -> Ulloa (17.8%)You seem to be following me.... I did the 2nd and 3rd transfers last week, already had Tadic but got rid of Ramsey too today 🙂
feel like my hand was forced with ramsey and rooney and don't like it
really don't like taking hits either but the back up options are defenders since albrighton never playsThis is the reason I try to keep a strong squad rather than the Boyd's and Albrighton's. I'll have plenty of bench points most likely, but I could easily have absorbed Ramsey's injury this GW... in truth I would have benched him at Chelsea anyways 🙂
Any comments on my GW7 team?
Begovic (sun)
Clyne (tot), Lovren (WBA), Taylor (NEW)
Siggy (NEW), Sterling (WBA), Fabregas (ARS), Downing (QPR)
Costa(c) (ARS), Pelle (tot), Ulloa(vc) (BUR)
- Subs: Krul(swa) // Tadic (tot), Chambers (che), (Wisdom(liv)).
- 6.8itb
The team picks itself really, though benching Tadic isn't ideal.
Gtg
Transfers ???Just used my FT this week on Ramsey>Downing. He's got two great fixtures next so can give Tadic and Siggy a rest at Spurs and at Stoke in the next 2 gw's respectively, before being a reliable 1st sub for me.
What are people's thoughts on Fab then? If his new position is permanent he'll be out of my team, just hoping it isn't.
What "new position"? This is where hes played every match, barring the City game.
this
I thought an article on this very site stated his position last game was deeper then usual?
than*
You`ll have to read the article again, friend. And i`d suggest actually watching some games. He`s been playing there all the games, alongside Matic.
No offense intended.
Ok, cheers. I have watched all Chelsea games bar this last one due to the fact that I had more vested interest in the Soton game.
I see. Well, if you`ve seen all Chelsea games (not just highlights) and thought that Cesc was playing further up the pitch, then there`s no reason to panic, cus his starting position is still pretty much the same. 🙂
Not a big worry. He'll get near enough to the box to assist most games anyways. plus he takes corners and has Costa, Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic, Matic, etc to aim for...
He`s still Fabregas even if his original position is at the centre of midfield. Matic holds while Fabregas drifts around. He`s just down there to dictate the play as he has way more capabilities in that department than any of his peers. And he`s not really quick enough to play further up the pitch. Atleast that`s what i think Mourinho`s thinking.
DAMNIT Anderson dropped 😐
😀
Dropped his fork??
he would never do that! he has a go-go-gadget one
Worth a WC from 1 to 2?
1. DDG (myhill)
Caulker - Clyne - Chester (wisdom - moore)
Sterling - Hazard - siggy - Ramsey (boyd)
Rooney - Balo - Welbeck
2. Forster (mannone)
Clyne - Baines - Naylor (wisdom - moore)
Sterling - Di maria/haz - siggy - chadlii (boyd)
Aguero - Welbeck - CostaAguero to Pelle or Dzeko, then reinvest the difference in upgrading chadli.
agree. i'd only have chadli if it was in a 352 but you can get better more expensive toys.
that said he is the highest scoring midfielder in FPL so what do i know.... he's basically a striker for spurs so isn't a bad pick at all.
It's borderline but Id just take a hit and fix Ramsey and Rooney this week
Just do transfers for Rooney and Ramsey for -4.
Forster / McCarthy
Moreno / Duff / Clyne / Naylor / Wilson
Fabregas / di Maria / Sterling / Siggy / Boyd
Rooney / Costa / Pelle
Rooney & Boyd -> Ulloa and Downing
Worth it with their upcoming fixtures?
Will leave me 3.6 ITB, or any other options?How about Rooney to one of Ulloa/Welbz/Dzeko, then save the rest of the money for upgrading a defender to Baines.
To get him in the week after United, or this game week?
Probably after. You can field three decent defenders there anyway, no need to panic.
If you get Downing you're gonna have to bench one of your other mids, so it doesn't make sense.
I did Ramsey>Downing but I'm happy to bench Tadic at Spurs and Siggy at Stoke to play Downing in the next two. I doubt you will do that though.What do you suggest I do with Rooney, and the extra FT then?
Thinking of bringing in Valencia for the two fixtures, or Ulloa.
Not sure ..Ditch Rooney, roll the extra FT over a week.
My frontline is Ulloa-Costa-Pelle. I'm a fan of Ulloa, he's on form, the main man so nailed on to start every game, fixture proof, benchable due to price, and has great fixtures for the next few. Great option.
If Sturridge hits the ground running I may do Ulloa>Sturridge if money itb allows in order to get another captain option, but Ulloa is a great pick for that money.
What's an average score around here, would you say?
it varies week to week.
the average overall is 34. might be slightly higher for the geeks on here though 😀
On WC, what's the best GK combo?
Also, Clyne or Bertrand?Clyne. But Bertrand is slightly cheaper and there's not much in it. Both are great picks.
I'd have Forster if I didn't have 3 SOU players already. Foster seems to be a solid pick, as does Mannone. Check the ticker if they rotate though. I'm sticking with Begovic/Krul until Christmas unless i need 0.5 to facilitate something else.Are people no longer keen on Heaton after the result last night?
You'd have to think with the fixtures they have that Dyche has got to try and pick up points in the next 4-5 matches. Means they'll have to find a way to score some goals which the prevailing wisdom seems to be the attack will come at the expense of defensive solidity. I'm a Heaton owner myself and feel we probably have seen the last of the CS there. Certainly away from Turf Moor.
I disagree. Their best chance of winning a game isn't to open up and outscore teams in open games. Its keeping it tight, making no mistakes, and scoring on their few chances. Their template win would be like at Palace a couple of weeks back, but scoring the penalty to win 1-0.
I`m with this guy. Bottom teams won`t just all of the sudden start bombing forward and going for broke in games if they haven`t already. I can`t see Burnley becoming a full out attacking side, more like trying to go back to their ways of solid structure and grind out the points.
I hope you're right!
Will ramsey definitely be out chelsea game? I'm thinking of holding on to him and wait to wc on the int break
Yes AW already confirmed it.
if you have a FT you might as well use it as his value will probably drop this week, and you won't get your FT back if you're on a WC.
Wenger has already said he's definitely out this weekend. And away to chelsea I would have benched him anyways so not bothered. Did Ramsey>Downing today.Jeez, did my ft to shipnout rooney, rambo to tadic for a hit then
Thoughts on David Silva as a short-term option for the next 3 weeks ish? (avl, tot whu)
Nah
there are much better options. Ozil, Tadic, Downing for starters
I think he is a decent option. He continues to tick over and if he stays mostly fit will no doubt be one of the top 10 if not top 5 mf by the end of the season
worth doing rambo > ADM or has he risen too much already
ADM stats are decent - looks a threat. if you're keen, do it - I expect him to rise more if he keeps returning. I personally think Rambo's going to be quiet for a while now, playing deep when he returns, whereas ADM is enough utd cover for my money.
Are his stats decent? I just ran him against silva, hazard, fabregas, sterling and ramsey
Based on threat and creativity there are better statistic options.
He does look quality i grant you
I think there's much better value to be had. 9.9 and rising for a midfielder is a lot, especially when his fixtures get really tough soon.
If you're looking short-term, look no further than Downing: QPR and burnley next two games, and he's only 5.6.ADM looks, as you would expect, to be absolutely magnificent. As a FPL option though, im still not sure if hes worth it. Rooneys suspension might me good for him in a sense. Anyways keeping for now, probably getting rid once they hit the run of tougher fixtures as i think United is just shaite and will struggle against better opposition
Rambo to silva or tadic for a hit?
Of the two, the latter appeals more. Silva is an excellent player but inconsistent in FPL terms.
And tadic has the more promising matchups.
What about for gw 7 only?
Downing at home to QPR is the best option imo. Even better than the expensive Hazards and Dimarias
Can you explain why downing?
@shteveo
Rest of my team:
Bego
Clyne pva moore hutton duff
Rambo haz siggy sterling wanyama
Costa aguero pelleLeaning towards downing now that I cant have tadic
Downing has some good chances created stats, and is a different beast to last season. Wanyama's hardly a decent bet, and kind of ruins your Soton party. For one game though, I wouldn't do it - play Clyne/PVA/Moore/Duff, then three in the middle and three up top. Swap out Rambo next week.
Thanks alot but i just did downing
Damn kneejerkers!
downing has great stats, and his next two fixtures are perfect. Great short-term solution who you can bench after that if you want. Nailed on to start as West Ham's most attacking midfielder and on set pieces for a great aerial side is great.
But still, he`s Downing. Who`s gonna get him 😀
What's the rest of your team?
Reply fail to -KOCH-
Ramsey & Rooney > Ozil & Pelle for free?
Õzil nooooooo
Why is chadli yellow flagged?? I just got him in yesterday!
He went off after going down in a duel. Didn`t look that serious though
"Knock"
Sure it's nothing.'Knock' is fpl language for 'no idea'
A. Is it a good idea to double up ivanovic and baines in GW 8?
B. Tadic or Pelle? Or double up?
C. The best combination of 5th midfielder and 3rd striker OR 4th midfielder and 5th midfielder (depend on preferred formation)?A Depends what it does to your team
B Pelle or both
C Too many variables to answerA) Not sure why it matters, they aren't facing each other? Palace vs. Chelsea, Everton vs. Villa.
B) Depends on your other mids, but both are solid options. Think Pelle is better points return currently, but Tadic could explode soon.
C) Unsure how to answer this one?A. Possibly
B. Both, ATM. Pelle if only one.
C. Boyd, Welbeck/Ulloa; Chadli, Siggy.A) Generally thats too much money in defence and would leave you weak in other areas
B) Depending on the rest of your team i`d say atleast Pellè and Tadic if you want to upgrade somewhere else
C) This is way to complex to answer and is something that you`ll have to find out for yourself
DDG Murphy
Pva Wisdom* Bruce** Krul Kelly
ADM Sterling Ramsey** Chadli Marney
Aguero Costa Pelle
0.0 ITB , 1 FT
a) Ramsey to tadic
b) Ramsey to downing
c) Ramsey to downing and Bruce to Baines/Ivanovic for -4 ? ( only left 3 defenders on next GW)
Thanks.
Ramsey to Tadic and Bruce to Clyne/Bertrand? From your options, I like 3rd but it makes midfield weak 🙂
Having costa and aguero is going to be a constant will they wont they injury worry. Better strengthen my bench
Likes of Van Aanholt, Moore, Jedinak can do the job 🙂
PVA is nailed in my first team with Hutton, wisdom and wanyama on the bench
Same, Van Aan is my regular defender 😉 Hutton, Wisdom atleast start, if you can do Wanyama to Jedinak, you will be fine.
Would you guys captain Costa if he plays 75+ minutes midweek?
He won`t play any minutes midweek, i`m quite sure of it.
IF!
No reason wondering "IF" when its not going to happen. Mourinho has blatantly stated that Costa can only play ONE game per week, and at this point isnt even training between games, simply resting and doing recovery work.
thanks then hpoe you are correct
I dont mean to sound arrogant, but im pretty sure. This is why they bought Rèmy, imo. Almost sole purpose.
no problem mate dont want him to play either! 🙂
Which of these combinations is best:
Schneiderlin & balotelli (2 transfers)
Or
Gerard and pelle (2 transfers)
Or
Gerard and welbeck (1 transfers)3
Thx is that coz of the 1 transfer or do you think welbeck will do better than balotelli or pelle?
Welbeck has great fixtures from gw8 right up till January, regular for Arsenal, is cheaper and saves you 1 transfer.
2 but with Sterling, Gerrard isnt worth it. Hes playing so deep. 10m for a penalty taker is no bueno amigo
Cheers. Have sterling already just looking for extra Liverpool with their great fixtures. Swapping out Ramsey and welbeck.
Not sure getting extra Liverpool is the way to go, as poorly as we`re playing atm. Definitely not Gerrard though, he`s essentially a centreback that`s on pens and some set pieces.
2nd or 3rd
please rate my team and give me any changes or tips to make to my current side.
Heaton Mccarthy
Moreno, Moore, Taylor, Clyne, Pieters
Mirallas, Sterling, Siggy, Fabregas, Boyd
Costa, Pelle, Ulloa
i have 1 FT and 7.5 mil in the bankMirallas to AdM
Mirallas -> Tadic
how long is Hereira out for?
didnt even know he was injured
ouch! he was subbed off early because injured
I want to get Falcao vs Everton but if Ander misses out I will pass (United midfield cannt control the ball without him0I mean he played 75 minutes. Its probably not that big of a deal, and u have all week to decide.
Lol should have waited on Rooney!
hello,Please help me choose the best option
DDG
Wisdom-Caulker-Ivan-Debuchy-Moore
ADM-Fabs-Siggy-Sterling-Albrighton
Roon-Costa-Neismith
1.Getting rid of Debuchy is not my main priority now since i have three set defenders.
2. Will get rid of Rooney for sure. thinking about Kun or Pelle
3. I usually play 3-4-3 and i also want to get rid of Neismith.
4. Have 2 FTs and Wildcard.
Please suggest some ideas people. will be really helpful.you still have debuchy? if anything he's your priority as his value is only gonna keep dropping. there'll never be a good time to do it but might as well do it sooner rather than later, especially with 2ft's.
I see. I was very tempted to do Pelle & Dzeko for Rooney & Neismith.
you think i should get rid of Debuchy now? who may be the best replacement?southampton wouldn't be the worst place to find a good replacement...
Wisdom cannot play this week against Liverpool due to loan restrictions.
Debuchy is out for three months.
Caulker has a tough away fixture at West Ham, who seem to be scoring for fun.
Rooney is banned for three matches.
Unsure that Naismith is your biggest concern really.
Would be using those 2 FT's to get rid of Debuchy and Rooney to save your team value if they keep being removed.
Perhaps Rooney & Debuchy for Pelle and Bertrand/N.Taylor.okay. Pelle and city defender maybe good no?
S'hampton have been playing very well and have some pretty good fixtures coming up after the match against Spurs, whom they might get a result against anyway.
I would suggest a defender from their team - think Clyne/Bertrand, along with Pelle up front.Cheers. Thanks.
Rooney to:
A) Ulloa (BUR)
B) Valencia (QPR)
Costa and Pelle are my other forwards.B
look beyond one fixture. Ulloa wins.
Agreed
Was looking at the next fixture also, West Ham away to Burnley and Leicester away to Newcastle.
Then it gets harder for West Ham yes, but the differential over these weeks worth the punt?Ulloa is already something of a diff
Bring in Dzeko or Ulloa? My ML rival has 5 injuries now but he was saved by Dzeko this week, so is it worth bringing him in just so that I can nullify his differential and guarantee getting more points than him?
5 non playing players to be precise
yes Deko
Hi all, pls RMT:
Heaton
Ivanovic Duff Clyne (Wisdom Bruce)
Hazard Sterling Siggy Mane (Elmohamady)
Costa Pelle Aguero
My defense wont get points this GW I rekon. I used all my FT.
Should I wildcard GW8?Iva will score big this week. Arsenal are pants at the back. I am wildcarding GW8 because of the International break to build value and several teams' fixtures take a turn (Lei, Ars, Tot etc)
Ask yourself, what changes would you make if on WC? In defence, you will change Bruce and Ivan. Midfield maybe Hazard, Sigurdsson and Elmohamady. Just for 5 moves out of which some can be delayed, I wont WC. Couple of hits and you will be fine 🙂
