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.
-
Morning DZ, on a scale of 0-10, how would you rate this wildcard team?
Adrian (Foster)
Ivanovic/Clyne/Chambers (Duff/Hutton)
Sterling/Fabregas/Siggy/Tadic (Boyd)
Kun/Costa/Pelle
- I'm torn between picking one of Ivanovic/Baines
- Siggy is another interesting one, I'd like to lose him but because of his fixtures I'm a bit reluctant too-
Baines for me. Stick with siggs.
-
Thanks!
-
-
Oh and 7/10
-
Thanks!
-
-
8/10
-
Thanks Innsie, any changes you'd make?
-
Baines over Ivan. Moore for Hutton/Duff maybe. Too much money on GK for my liking too.
-
Honestly whatever goalkeeper combination I've come up with has been criticized on here! Any idea about the best combination there is?
-
So what if they criticize you...it's your choice, your team. Make your own decisions. People on here aren't always right, I can guarantee you that they make mistakes a lot.
-
And what Innsie said.
-
+1 Go with your gut TFF.
-
You're right, the choice is mine in the end (as was the case when I went with Pelle(C) in the week when he got 2 goals) but I'm stumped myself when it comes to goalkeepers
-
west ham still havent got a clean sheet.. i would recommend forster and mccarthy
-
he has 3x Soton already 🙁
-
ah so he has.
mannone and someone then.
-
-
Already have 3 southampton
-
-
And Adrian's a crap choice, IMO anyway.
Look at the fixtures, consider the teams' defences, and pick 2 keepers, wether it be a 4.0 and a playing or 2 playing GKs. Either choice is a viable tactic.
Personally, I like the look of Mannone@4.5m. Good value, saves galore as shown recently, and they've shown a potential for CS recently.
Speroni's another one albeit a little more expensive.
Schmeichel too for the fixtures.
All up to you mate.-
Oh and Schmeichel has made the 2nd most amount of saves this season, 1 behind Speroni, this is even after missing out one game.
-
He has too, his defense is crap!!
-
-
I like the look of Mannone too, but his fixtures are very difficult after gameweek 8
http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/team-stats/defending/
This would give you a better idea as to why I have opted to stay away from the Leicester defence altogether-
mannone will still be great value and get save points
-
But you're looking for cleanies with keepers,right? Anyways, I'm done FG
Forster (McCarthy)
Baines/Azpilicueta/Chambers (Duff/Hutton)
Sterling/Fabregas/Siggy/Tadic (Boyd)
Kun/Costa/Pelle
Thanks for recommending the GK combo -
looks good mate.
-
Cheers FG!
-
-
-
-
-
BOOM! 😀
-
-
-
-
-
-
I would keep at least 1 Everton players with their fixtures...maybe Baines over Ivan since the fixtures are better for Everton...Siggy I would remove...better options..
-
8/10
-
Cheers, thanks!
-
-
how do those GK's rotate?
Moore over Hutton maybe? I don't know...
Get Baines, considering you will want him in GW8...saves an extra transfer...Sigurdsson has NEW next, I'd keep...
9/10-
They rotate very well
QPR,bur,CPL,lei,AVL,eve,NEW,WHM,HUL,AVL is what I get with them -
And thanks!
-
-
Solid 8, I like it
-
Thanks GB
-
-
9/10, like the idea of saving a bit more on 4th MID and upgrading DEF
-
Thanks Seb, appreciate the help
-
-
Well done on 30.
8/10-
What's the cutoff for LMS standing atm, TM?
-
Around 30. Not at home and been out this weekend. Still Sunday night here.
-
Cheers...well above for once 😆
How's the US?-
Great, had massive BBQ beef ribs today. Everyone freaked at how much I ate. 🙂
-
😆
Who you there with?
-
-
-
-
-
Cheers, TM 😀
-
One post can easily be deleted in future. 😉
-
-
-
chadli over siggy imo..maybe di maria over fab?
-
I don't think ADM is worth it at 9.9, thanks though!
-
haha okie sure. good team nevertheless!
-
Cheers
-
-
-
-
to be honest, I would upgrade clyne to baines and downgrade tadic.
then adrian to forster
🙂
not a popular opinion though but thatll give u my team 😛-
Thanks SCAB, appreciate the help!
-
-
-
Anyone has an idea as to what was Debuchy's ownership when He got injured ??
He has dropped 0.2 in 2 weeks , current ownership at 7%
trying to relate to Roonpig and Ramsey-
-
it looks both Price changes came after 250k Transfers out
650 k- 400k ( 21.6% ownership to 13.3% ownership)
Ta
-
-
about 650k
-
-
bench one:
A) Clyne (tot)
B) Moore (BUR)
C) Duff (lei)-
Duff
-
After yesterday's game? DUFF
-
C
-
+1
-
-
Duff def
-

-
cheers everyone - that's easy 🙂
-
-
I'm gonna make my transfers on Friday...so that the player picture is clear after CL and Europa...
-
good thinking B1
-
thanks B2
-
whats B1, B2?
-
Bananas in Pyjamas 😀
classic kids show 🙂-

Good thinking
-
thanks tff!

Looking to ship Ramsey, Moreno & Bojan (don't ask) in the next 2 gwk's. So far i've come up with
A) Bertrand, Silva, Ulloa
B) Betrand, Ozil, Ulloa
C) Bertrand, 7.7M (Mane), Welbeck
D) Bertrand, 6.5M, Dzeko
What would others go for?-
C with Tadic over Mané
-
A or C for me, actually like C very much
-
I feel like (C)
Bertrand, Tadic, Welbeck -
C seems pretty popular then. The only thing is that would leave me with Tadic/Mane, Pelle & Bertrand. Too much Soton?
-
not with their form and fixtures imo
-
-
C with Chadli if fit
-
-
ok, need your help guys. This is my first season in FPL.
The question is to WC or not to WC. My Team:
Begovic (Myhill)
Wisdom Caulker Clyne (Colo, Bruce)
Ramsey, Fab, Siggy, ADM (Albrighton)
Pelle, Falcao, Costa
As you can see my bench is really week. I used up my FT for this week by bringing in Falcao for Rooney. I did that early fearing a price drop for Rooney.
Now the problem is I still have Ramsey, who is injured, and Wisdom, who will not play against his former club Liverpool. Costa is always touch and go with his hamstring - I will never take him out but would always need a cover. That leaves me with only 1 player who is a starter - Coloccini.
So here are what I think are my options:
(A) I take a hit (already took one to bring in Pelle last week) to bring in some cover for the above.
(B) Wildcard
(C) Keep this team and see how it goes for a week.
All help is appreciated guys! Thank you 🙂-
A
-
Thanks Moin for your advice.
Wo would you ship out and who would you bring in? Would be great help!-
I would just take out Ramsey for Chadli..decent fixtures coming up
-
-
-
Bruce to Moore, Ramsey to Tadic/Chadli perhaps
-
Thank you NEDFOO. So you think I should take two hits? Or one of the above?
-
Main thing is that you have a starting 11, so I'd probably do the Ramsey transfer & play Caulker Clyne Colo in defence
-
-
-
-
Best keeper pair for 8.6 on WC? I'm thinking Schmeichel & Hemer, good shout?
-
decent shout...
-
-
How many of you till now have got an opportunity to do a luxury transfer i.e. where you are not doing a need based transfer?
I haven't got 1 till now..-
I had one in GW3. Ended up taking out Costa since he was 'injured'... What happened after that is history.
-
Luxury turned out to be a tragedy..
-
Yep...
-
-
-
Terry to Ivan was my luxury transfer one week, but then De Jong got injured so I had to take a hit
-
bad luck..
-
-
this week! no idea who to trade out
-
you have 2 fts?
-
-
-
Rooney / Silva out (-4) to...
a) Aguero / ADM
b) Aguero / Hazard
c) Diego Costa / ADM
d) Diego Costa / Hold Silva-
D
-
why remove Silva? just Rooney should be enough...
-
d
-
-
D
-
D or Aguero and hold Silva
-
Tempted to wait until champions league games are over before deciding on Diego Costa or Aguero
Risking an inevitable price drop in Rooney though?
-
-
-
Moreno points:
1
1
13
1
1

1
.....
new Baines 🙄-
he makes good runs though..
-
was sooooooooooo close to 8 points this weekend 😐
-
-
Still torn about what options to do for this week:
Forster / (McCarthy)
Moreno / Clyne / N. Taylor / (Duff) / (Wilson)
Fabregas / Siggy / Sterling / di Maria / Boyd
Rooney / Costa / Pelle
2 FT, 0.3 ITB
Currently tossing up between:
A) Rooney & Moreno -> Aguero and Wisdom
B) Rooney -> Ulloa/Valencia (for upcoming two game weeks), save funds for Baines next game week?
Or is there a different option you guys would do? -
evening gents
2 FT, 0.7m in the bank
thinking Rooney + Moreno > Aguero + Moore for free after CL
then Ivanovic > Baines the week after that
...................Begovic
..........Ivan - Clyne - Moreno
Siggy - Cesc - Sterling - Di Maria
......Rooney - Naismith - Costa
Gilks; Chambers, Marney, Hutton
sound? also tempted by Siggy > Chadli and need to get rid of Naismith but all in due time I feel..-
Why remove Moreno and wast a transfer?...I would rather remove Rooney and Naismith..
-
well I'd like Aguero in tbh..and I can't afford him unless I do that..yes he's very attacking but I'm not feeling confident about Liverpool's clean sheet ability
-
+1
-
To get the Cash to do Aguero transfer I assume.
-
-
-
Done my transfers.
Good too go?
DDG/Gilks
Cahill/Duff/Dummet/Clyne/Chester
Siggy/Downing/Sterling/ADM/Marney
Pelle/Aguero/Costa
-4
Currently thinking of using my WC to remove the hit and fix GKS/Defence/Mids. What do you guys think? 3 playing defenders and DDG. No bench with Marney injured. Tough fixtures for my starting GK/Defenders (Eve, Ars, Lei, Tot)
Thanks 😀 (If I was to use my WC I would make a team very similar to TFF - top of the page)-
🙁
-
-
Thanks for your time,gentlemen.The code has been cracked
Forster (McCarthy)
Ivanovic/Azpilicueta/Chambers (Duff/Hutton)
Sterling/Fabregas/Siggy/Tadic (Boyd)
Kun/Costa/Pelle-
Baines instead of Ivanovic
-
Nice!
-
why not a Saints defender instead of Azpi? they have good fixtures and when their fixtures turn bad you can swap for a United defender..
-
Forster + 3 Saints already.
-
He has Forster
-
3 saints, Forster, Tadic and Pelle.
-
sneaky grav change 😉
-
ooh I read Forster as Foster..my bad!
-
Nice team then!
-
Cheers,Moin!
-
-
-
-
Looks good! I personally prefer Moore over Hutton (Unless you got Hutton for 4.0(
-
I did!
-
-
ah nice one - azpi looks nailed
i still like moore over one of those other cheapies-
I wish you were a member so that I could show you how poor Leicester are defensively 😛
-
Better fixtures now though. Burnley coming up
-
+1
-
That's a temptation yes, but even against teams like Palace and Stoke their stats have been poor

-
-
😳
never mind! 😀
-
-
-
Nice team, can't really fault it.
-
Thanks Ryan, appreciate the insight
-
-
cash in on hutton imo.
-
Great fixtures coming up
-
-
How many time have I heard "the code has been cracked"? 😉
Okay last comment: Everything looks good except Azpi, IMO. It feels like you just needed to spend the cash somewhere so put him in.
Chelsea are kak for CS this season. Azpi just got one asisst this GW.
I'd downgrade to a 4.5, and bank the cash or upgrade Duff/Hutton.
Cash in the bank can become very very useful.-
ships are safe in the harbour but thats not what they're used for.. spend that cash!! 😉
-
It's the second time after the DZ ripped my team to pieces 😀
I think Azpi is the best choice of 6 or under (can't get another Saints def) and hence I've opted for that route. Azpi to Naylor will give me 1.4 in the bank though, thanks for the advice
-
-
-
Is Boyd the best option for a budget midfielder?
-
Yes
-
seems like it..
-
Most definitely.
-
jip
-
Tina? 😯
-
how did you know? 😯
-
-
-
But could loose his place when Matt Taylor is back in a couple of weeks?
-
-
How's it lookin? Any changes needed?
DDG
Moreno Duff Bertrand
Tadic Sigurdsson Sterling Di Maria
Aguero(C) Costa Pelle
Cheers-
DDG need to go...The rest calls for a BOOM! 😀
-
needs*
-
Cheers
Out for a hit though?-
Yes, high time now. United's defense is crap
-
-
-
DDG...
-
Yeah..needs to go
-
-
ddg...otherwise great
-
Out ofr a hit though?
-
nah...do it next week for free - that is if you can resist making other moves 😛
-
😀
-
Might as well do it this week tbh. It might be a hit next week depending on Welbeck's, Siggy's and Moreno's performance
-
-
-
-
-
I would remove DDG...Howard a better option maybe..rest looks great!
-
Howard?!
This week though? for a hit?
-
-
Any playing alternatives to Duff next week?
-
Wisdom....and Chester 👿
-
-
I suppose DDG--->someone
DDG---------------someone
0-2 ---------------- CS + saves = 6+-
hmm, might be good for the long term too
-
-
-
Best replacement under 10.5m for Rooney?
Already have Costa and Pelle-
Welbeck
-
Welbeck or Dzeko
-
Dzeko.
-
Welbeckio or Dzeko
-
Welbeck
-
Edin Dzeko
-
Welbeck
-
-
Good Morning my beloved DZ'ers , hows everyone doing in the deadzone H2H?
-
Krulliott
Baines Terry Caulker Clyne Duff
Sterling Siggy Adm Eriksen Ramsey
Costa Welbeck Vardy
0.3 in the bank
1 FT
Thinking of either
A) Ramsey to Silva(Cant afford Fabs) this week and swap Eriksen for Tadic next week for free
B) Ramsey to Tadic this week and swap Eriksen for Fabs/Silva(will be able to afford both) next week
C) Take a hit and get Tadic and Silva/Fabs in
Cheers-
Quite sick of Eriksen,, and caulker too though ive a feeling im stuck wit hhim for a loooong time
-
B.
Silva is inconsistent for FPL.

-

For those who missed it, there was a quiz held yesterday which was won comfortably by 3 points to nil by the Rest of the World. The leader board now reads:
NZ 2 Rest of the World 2
Another quiz will be held @11AM BST today, four and a half hours from now.-
can you do it now instead? very level playing at this time imo 😛
-
*field
-
😀 😀 😀
Would be one way traffic!
-
-
-
-
Play Welbeck(che) or Chester(CRY)?I know Chester is easy match but shockingly isnt nailed :(..
-
Welbeck
-
Welbeckio
-
a defender compared to a forward? ....
-
-
come onn only Krul left to be making my def a perfect cleanie bunch 😀
-
+6
-
-
Forster
Clyne, PVA, Naylor
Di Maria, Sterling, Siggy, Chadli
Kun, Costa, Welbeck
McCarthy, Boyd, Wilson, Janmaat
£2.9m, anything worth a hit? i like maybe Janmaat to Baines but i could probably do it for free next week.-
Keep this, and do Baines next week for free.
-
yeah thats what i'll probably do 😀
-
-
no - do it for free next week 🙂
-
thanks mate
-
-
Good to go, no need for a change 🙂
-
cheers TFF
-
-
Looks good
-
cheers 😀
-
-

Still torn about what options to do for this week:
Forster / (McCarthy)
Moreno / Clyne / N. Taylor / (Duff) / (Wilson)
Fabregas / Siggy / Sterling / di Maria / Boyd
Rooney / Costa / Pelle
2 FT, 0.3 ITB
Currently tossing up between:
A) Rooney & Moreno -> Aguero and Wisdom
B) Rooney -> Ulloa/Valencia (for upcoming two game weeks), save funds for Baines next game week?
Otherwise, anything else?-
A
-

A
-
Worth waiting for after Champs League this week?
-
-
-
What would u do with this lot??
Bego / Gilks
Terry Bertrand N.Taylor Moore Dummett
Sterling Siggy Cesc ADM JWP(*)
Costa Pelle Rooney(*)
1 FT , 0.0 in Bank-
JWP can go later, Rooney out Welbeck in
-
this.
-
-
Terry and Rooney out
-
Rooney for Ulloa or Valencia.
Terry -> Baines for free next week. -
cheers
-
-
*sigh* Lets try this again
Good too go?
DDG/Gilks
Cahill/Duff/Dummet/Clyne/Chester
Siggy/Downing/Sterling/ADM/Marney
Pelle/Aguero/Costa
-4
Currently thinking of using my WC to remove the hit and fix GKS/Defence/Mids. What do you guys think? 3 playing defenders and DDG. No bench with Marney injured. Tough fixtures for my starting GK/Defenders (Eve, Ars, Lei, Tot)
Thanks 😀 (If I was to use my WC I would make a team very similar to TFF - top of the page)-
I won't pull the trigger just yet, I think it's good to go - just about!
-
Starting to think the same. Will probably use it during International break.
-
Would I be correct in thinking if you WC over the international break you can keep making changes to your team throughout that break with no penalty incurred points wise? Apologies if that sounds incredibly dumb! Anyway with that in mind 'My Mane Man' I'd definitely save the wildcarding until said break the following GW
-
-
i would wc as i said earlier, theres still several problems even after the hit.
-
To be honest now that I look at it, I think its fine for this GW. But definitely not for the the upcoming GW's
-
imo if your gonna wc next week and take a hit this week anyway, you might aswell use it now
-
Yes but the risk is injuries occurring over the international break
-
Well im pretty sure most people have taken a hit this week and plan to use their WC later.
-
-
-
-
-
How am I looking lads?
Krul
Baines Naylor Moore
Sterling Eriksen Siggy Silva
Pelle Costa Lukaku
Foster Clyne Marney Caulker
2.1 in the bank FT used-
Good to go this week, Eriksen out Tadic/Siggy in next week
-
i believe he could well stay with Eriksen to see show his worth.
-
to show*
-
-
Have Siggy already was going to do Eriksen to ADM/Fab next week
-
Sorry mate I meant Tadic/Fabregas. ADM at that price isn't worth it
-
-
-
wow silva, first time seeing his name in this site (in an actual team), i guess you did ramsey>Silva?
-
Yep...feeling excited and nervouse about it
-
-
-
would you do Terry>Baines for free this week? or save ft and have 2ft next week?
-
Save.
-
Id save personally. Terry is due a goal and i dont see Everton keeping a cleany away to united after a europa league game
-
Save and do it next week.
-
-
Anyone considering bringing Sturridge in this week?
WBA, qpr, HUL are 3 great fixtures.
Assuming he gets confirmed fit for the w/e (midweek CL news should help), he's my Rooney replacement-
Wait and see he has international break after West Brom so anything could happen
-
-
Have the perfect amount of money for these moves for 2 FTs, don't think I'll be able to resist if Sturridge is fit. Don't think Rooney will survive the drop long enough to afford it though 😐
Caulker and Rooney –> Naylor and Sturridge-
lol@your predicament and bottom of the page.
-
Like it. I'd be tempted with Chambers over Naylor if you don't already have him (SWA fixtures get ropey in 3 weeks)
-
