Chadli or Welbeck for UFPL? This one is doing my head in!
-
Chad
-
Chadli
-
chadders
-
Thanks Chaps!
-
That is why I put welbeck in my reserves.....unfortunately I now realise I have no space for fabregas!
-
I'm going with Fab and leaving Webeck on the bench, but who knows what could happen?
-
Same, but with Hazard. Tough choice - DW is on form!
-
He is and I can see him knicking one tomorrow, but I've got to play the % game at this stage and go with the home players. No need to gamble this soon into the season.
-
How you doing in the Overall Rankings? Early days, indeed 🙂
-
172 atm, hopefully go up a bit with a few to come in tomorrow. How about yourself? The beauty of this game will be when squads get ravaged by injury and have to take out these loans. Should be interesting stuff?!
-
Nice one, I'm at 509 after this MD. I forgot subs in GW1 >_>
I'm just hoping the squad holds out til January - the loans confuse me.

How chasing bandwagons can end in tears
The budget striker shuffle, highlights the dangers of buying differentials on the grounds of a few good weeks. Ulloa had scored 26 points in the previous 3 , while Naismaith had scored 24 in his previous 3
Who did the following?
Start the season with Bojan due to loads of pre season goals
RESULT 2 0 0
Oh hes no good, Naismith is on fire lets get him
RESULT 1 0 2
Had enough of this im getting Ulloa in, hes brilliant
RESULT 2
A total of 7 points from bringing in three players who were scoring for fun in 7 weeks average 1 point per game-
someone with terrible luck
-
Guilty of all 3 of those o/
-
I'm glad i only fell for the Naismith trap
-
Highlights the folly of chasing points from a few good games, especially if the player is not a recognised star. Very few players keep the points flowing for more than three consecutive games
-
This whole game is about the folly of "chasing points" ADM, Costa, Bertrand, Fabrfegas, Sigurdsson, Clyne, P. Cisse - to name but a few
-
Some of these things are not like the others. While agree with your point, players like Costa and even Siggy have shown that they offer more than that.
-
-
-
It's all about timing a move to perfection in this game.
You get some right and some wrong.-
Disagree. It's about getting ones who score points and being patient if they don't. None of those three were strong options.
-
-
Please tell me this is not your 'startling post for the new page'
-
i'm surprised that you thought nothing odd of a person who doesn't know the difference between your and you're having the confidence to correct its perceived misuse. this, i wudda thought, might've caused you to read it differently. anyway, when you DO correct someone, maybe do it less condescendingly. please and thank you
-
Did your cat get run over by a car or have you ran out of moonshine mega? You seem in a terrible foul humour
-
hey Dino 😀 drink and ciggies are a thing of the past now. guess my mind and mood haven't fully adapted to the change in chemistry. being spoken down to isn't something i appreciate so i guess i had to stand up for meself like
-
I didn't see his earlier comment, just thought you might be om the sauce and having a random rant.
Can't believe you gave up the uisce beatha 😮 are you off it for good? Any particular reason?-
drink was gettin the better of me. walkin in front of cars, out of my mind drunk. got hit by one last year and woke up in hospital. no proper damage thankfully .then, when it almost happened again and i received a summons for being a danger to myself and others-allied to MJ on here diagnosing me as an alcoholic over a computer screen- i knew it was time to quit. ciggies are a recent thing. for medical reasons i was told i cud no longer smoke. anyway. how's your season?
-
Well hell that's a lot to take in buddy, best of luck with keeping off it and I hope it gets your life where you want it to be. I have always been looking forward to the day I could meet you for a pint and a few games of pool in carraroe but I guess you try and steer clear of pubs these days?
Never mind my season, it's too early to predict either way if you are having a good one or a bad one imo. I never really look at it until about 14 weeks or so in.
Good to hear you are well though and if you ever want to chat to an impartial mate you have my email address. Drop me a mail and I can forward my number-
yeah. pubs are a no go for now. i have poor willpower when faced with my nemesis. thanks man. i might shoot you a line if i ever open my email. i don't have a phone or use my email cause i hate them so much. i'm really one of those hermits who lives down a pit 😀
-
No worries buddy, if it ever gets too dark down in that pit of yours don't be afraid to give me a shout. I'll always have a free ear for you
-
cheers man. that's a great thing to hear. i'll probably be on here more often now that robertson has single handedly dragged me out of the mire and on course for a not completely embarrassing ranking. 😀
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
If you don't know the difference between your and you're, don't try and correct someone that does. It's really simple. I took it extremely easy on you - you could try showing a little gratitude.
-
your post, a certain crudeness lacked, that cud lend credence to your act. that, the bullied man u turd, who wud misspell a simple word
-
An hour and a half ago you were attempting to outsmart me. Now I don't even understand what you're trying to type 🙁
-
He has been "outsmarting" you all along. It's probably better not to respond when someone is toying with you like this, you just end up looking silly.
-
I would suggest you too look up your and you're. Good luck to both of you.
-
-
hey i wasn't tryin to outsmart anyone. i just thought that your persona lacked a bit of realism. the guy who'd write that wud very likely misspell something. i do love your trolling of a certain section and laughed my hole off a few times reading your posts. just think u shud misspell words more often or your prey will seee right thru the lure :p
-
Haha, I see. I probably flit in and out of charachter a bit too often to be buyable at times but hopefully catch one or two of those who of those who just flit by the site 😀 Just caught wind of your issue above by the way. I very genuinely hope you get past it. I suffered something similar myself but perhaps not quite to that level. I'll look out for your posts.
-
cheers man 🙂
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Managed to dodge all those bullets 😉
-
Thing with these type of players is you need to bring them in before their points, however in practice it almost impossible, there are so many budget options that choosing the correct one is very tough.
-
I just don't like cheap strikers full stop tbh
-
Totally agree. I got Ulloa in as a 2 week punt with good fixtures over Welbeck's tougher fixtures. will fix that for next gw though
-
Ah now come on I know its late but saying "you need to bring them in before their points" is like saying "in order not to drown you need to swim".
Or in football parlance "I think the team who will win will score the most goals" ;D
-
-
-
None of the above!
-
only went for Naismith, still stuck with him, gone for Welbz ASAP
There is an argument for a budget striker in a 3-4-3, you just have to have the right one at the right time
This is where I think the guy in my ML who has Ulloa and Sakho will start to fall down-
Really fancy Sakho to notch tomorrow
-
What are his last three scores?
-
No idea
-
5 9 6 he could be a fail candidate
-
🙂 Well we'll see how the theory holds up tomorrow!
While you are here... what do you think to my provisional set of changes with my 2 FTs?
Moreno, Di Maria & Balotelli > Baines, Tadic & Aguero-
Good
-
-
-
-
-
it may work tomorrow, but I don't see it a viable long term strategy
-
Gawd no, definitely not. Requires FAR too much jam
-
-
-
-
Are you following my transfers? 🙂
-
Top Tip:
Try buying these players as they hit their scoring streaks.-
Some people always look for worse case scenarios instead of best case.
-
Top Tip:
Get players that will definitely score lots of points 😀
-
-
Didn't even consider any of them, budget strikers are too limiting.
I have Costa, Aguero and Welbeck now, but would also like Pelle. Can't have them all, and you can only have two if you put a cheap'un in there. -
Naismith did pay me off in the Chelsea match 😛
-
I think you can even apply this to players like Fabregas and ADM.
-
I recall reading somewhere a bit of stats analysis on the folly of chasing points of lower price players. Basically they dont have the quality to continue to run in most cases so it usually ends up being a bust.
-
And Ramsey last season.
-
-
-
Who will rise more over the international break?
A) Welbeck
B) Baines-
The one transferred in more.
-
Not necessarily, they could have different thresholds due to ownership level differences 😉
-
Owned! 😛
-
You know both the numbers you need so you should have your answer.
-
-
Ahhh there's always that one answer 😉
-
Profound
-
-
Probably make more sense to ask that in 24 hours after both have played!?!
Will obviously have a huge influence on transfers in over the next week or two -
Welbeck will, his the easier transfer, people getting Baines will have to take a hit or even for free make a sacrifice
-
A imo.
-
-
I found this quite intriguing:
Ancelotti proclaims Ronaldo king: http://www.marca.com/en/2014/10/03/en/football/real_madrid/1412357889.html
Ancelotti thinks CR7 is the best player he has ever coached. That means he thinks Cristiano is better than Fabio Cannavaro, Kaká, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Shevchenko, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, and that's only naming the other Ballon d'Or winners he has coached.-
except number 9 Ronaldo none of the others are in his league
-
Oh didn't realize that that Ronaldo was on the list. I'd take that one - if fit - over CR7
-
-
Its hard to argue against it to be fair. The man is a machine.
10 goals already in la liga (and more tonight probably)... 26 RM hattricks too-
Oh, I don't necessarily disagree, I just think it's interesting.
-
true. but also the Ronaldo and Ronaldinho he coached were not the phenoms they had been a few years earlier
-
-
Ronaldinho is better imo as was Ronaldo.
But this is deciding between different brands of super car.-
Nice analogy. I agree.
-
-
I'd find it interesting if he wasn't currently coaching him.
-
Fair point, although I don't think Ancelotti would specifically mention this to the press if he didn't believe it.
-
-
Better than everyone IMO.
-
Obviously not Messi. But everyone else I mean.
-
-
different times, different football. All the players mentioned were 9/10 at least at their time
-
-
ML rival got Yaya in this week, he's now jumped above me to 1k. Inspired...
-
who did he ditch for him?
-
Sanchez
-
ok 🙂
-
some call. shame Yaya was generally a load of crap in the game. can't even make a square pass properly
-
-
Probably Rambo
-
-
-
It was a good week to take a hit.
31 (-4) and 7 still to play!
I'll happily take that-
But you did -8
-
-
Begovic,
Baines, Clyne, Ferdinand,
Di María, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Tadić,
Diego Costa, Agüero, Welbeck
Hamer; Albrighton, Wisdom, Hutton.
1FT; £0.3m in the bank.
Providing all goes well, Ferdinand to Chambers next week?-
Looks good to me
my plan is Caulker and Naimsith to Baines and Welbz-
Fair. Looking forward to tomorrow?
-
nervous tbh, but I think we've got enough to beat them
-
Hope so, depends on who replaces Herrera, we'll really miss him I reckon.
-
yeah, he's been awesome
hope he's back for WBA. International break could help us.
we could have Jones, Evans, Smalling, Carrick, Herrera, Fellaini all back
we'll start to look a lot stronger then
-
-
-
-
-
Similar for me. Caulker to chambers. Hoping he gets yellowed tonight so I can wait a week to do it
-
This
-
And Chambers avoids picking up a yellow tomorrow.
-
-
Wow nice set up. WC just played?
Yeah it's a solid change with Debuchy crocked-
Nah, still got the WC.
-
Nicely done. You look really well set up to me
-
Did take one or two hits but certainly worth it for the next few weeks. Might even be able to sort out Begovic next week too.
-
-
-
-
seems like a solid plan
i'm considering bringing chambers in myself if all goes well (PVA might have to go, fixtures are turning bad)-
Chambers looks like a bargain until the Jan WC and Arsenal's fixtures turn great soon.
-
totally if he can avoid that 5th yellow
I'm looking at GW10 for him so could do without a big rise, so a 5th yellow would be great for me to stem any transfers in
-
-
-
-
2FT. Now could I get some advice guys -
Would you do Moore and Ulloa > Bertrand and Pelle (providing they come through the game against Spurs) asap to catch rises over international period? Noticed Pelle is rising rapidly-
Anyone?
-
You could Ulloa to Pelle and keep the FT in case of an injury and do Moore to Bert after the games, losing maybe 0.1
-
Thanks for advice.
-
-
No imo. At least not tonight.
-
I wouldn't do the transfers until after the game tomorrow
-
-
-
What's better? : A) Dummet and Aguero out, Baines and Pelle in
B) Dummet and Fab out, Baines and Chadli, Tadic or whoever in region 7,5 in
Thanks all-
B with Tadic
-
B with Tadic by miles
-
Fook me, don't sell Aguero! Not until he gets injured on international duty anyway!
-
-
Very newb question but when do points deductions for transfers actually take effect? Has the hit I took during the week already been taken into account at this stage?
-
First update so yes.
-
Yes it has.
-
Thanks 🙂
-
-
A lot of fixtures seem to be turning bad after this week.
especially stoke and sunderland defense are up for some rough weeks-
Nice to see a malaysian on here
-
But then a lot of other fixtures seem to be turning good everton, arsenal...
-
-
Shall I just do Dzeko > Welbeck now before his rise later?
Bego McCarthy
Baines Moreno Clyne Naylor Moore
Sterling Siggy Fabregas Tadic Boyd
Costa Dzeko Pelle-
Yeah
-
I wouldn't for the sake of 0.1 given injuries and the break.
-
Yeah you're provably right, I'll wait.
-
-
What is the rush?! You will obviously have plenty of cash in the bank if that is your only move this week
-
-
If you didn't have Baines would you rather bring in
a) Chambers
b) Baines
for GW8. Also bringing in Welbz so don't want to go -8-
B) chambers likely to be suspended.
-
I hope so, that will really stem the tide of transfers in and hold his price steady for a couple of weeks
-
-
B by miles for me, but then that's why you pay another £2.5m!
-
I want both but only getting one for next GW
am hoping Chambers gets a yc tomorrow. If he does there's a damn good chance he won't rise before GW10
-
-
is it really worth a hit?
-
-
I don't understand people selling Fabregas to afford Baines.
-
What about selling Di Maria?
-
Wouldn't do that either.
-
Guessing you won't like my provisional transfers then for next week?
Moreno, Di Maria & Balotelli > Baines, Tadic & Aguero (-4 as i have 2 FTs)
What ya reckon?-
Well, it's not bad at all, actaully. UTD have City and Chelsea coming up.
Tbh, out of my mids (Sterling, Fab, Tadic and ADM), I wouldn't mind losing Sterling based on what I saw from him in last couple of games.-
Hmmm ok cheers. I have to say that Sterling is waaaay down on my 'To Sell' list at the moment
-
-
-
-
-
-
WC tinkering time:
Adrian Given
Moore Chambers Baines Ivan Bertie
Sterling ADM Fab Siggy Boyd
PELLE Costa Welbeck
or
Adrian Given
Moore Chambers Baines Ivan Bertie
Sterling DOWNING Fab Siggy Boyd
AGUERO Costa Welbeck
Thoughts and opinions?
option a has no city attack
option b has no saints attack
any alternatives?
cheers all.-
If you've just gotten on your WC for GW8 all you should do is check fplstatistics for the risers and get as many of them in your team as possible until the morning of the fixtures.
-
is that site getting accurate then?
-
-
I say no to getting both Baines and Big Bane.
-
Big Bane?
-
Big Bane Ivanovic
-
-
-
-
PvA or Wilson to Chambers assuming he doesn't pick up a yellow?
-
PvA
-
Probs Wilson as PVA is more attacking.
-
fixtures for both not looking great so i'd look to shift both out when i could.
-
-
What time do the prices rise/fall??
-
2.45am
-
2am i think
-
Welbeck conundrum is keeping me awake!!
Can't afford if he rises, but it's a huge risk if I do it!-
he will rise
-
Screw it, I'm getting him in
-
-
-
-
-
tomorrow will be tense. its all or nothing for aguero owners. if costa out-scores aguero then rankings will plummet.
-
*aguero captain-ers
-
Ofc he will outscore Aguero!!!
-
I have both, but Costa (c)
-
*when not if ( i dont usually correct bad grammar but this time i felt the need)
-
haha
-
-
Don't forget the brave souls that slapped the captaincy on Pellé.
-
-
Yes or No:
Ulloa>Welbeck + Lovren>Baines (-4)
Note: Siggy will be my first sub in GW8 so I can afford the injury risk. (6.8itb, 1FT)-
heck yeah.
-
yes i am doing the same although I have Moreno not Lovren
-
although im doing it for free
-
I hate taking hits though, especially when Ulloa could well outscore Welbeck when he plays Newcastle away. I want to capitalize on price rises as much as possible though, and I think Welbeck could be a 0.3 riser this GW.
-
ulloa was a home comforts guy and can't score at home to a weak side. punt over time to move on to welbeck now the fixtures are good
-
-
-
-
good moves
-
-
Welbz or ADM to rise tonight?
Want to get a close look at them tomorrow before getting them.
ADM especially as EVE present significantly tougher opponents than he's had to face in the league.-
http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk is working decently for risers. Welbeck looks certain to rise.
-
-
Aguero left it late for us who had him captained
-
just watching MOTD Michael Oliver will be doing a League 2 game next GW after that awful pen call
-
Yeah and it was right in front of him.
-
How he didn't notice that it was a yard outside the box I'll never know. His assistant was equally poor.
You can't effectively GIVE a goal to a team if you aren't 100% sure, its just ridiculous -
it was worse than one Clattenburg gave v United (the first) and he didn't get demoted
refs are untouchable these days
I realise they have a really hard job and are only human and thus make mistakes and miss things
but errors like those 2 should not go unpunished-
get the feeling that oliver is marked down as the next main guy as well. so you are probably right
-
-
-
What is your biggest surprise this season?
Filipe Luis for me, rotting on the bench-
plays in UCL
-
Luis plays the cup and CL games.
Ivan plays league and CL games
Azpi plays league and cup games.
Perfect rotation.
-
-
Anyone reckon that Walcott would make the bench on gw 8?
-
i have him already so yes
-
Why do you have him?
-
-
maybe a week or 2 too early
-
-
Puntmasters first flop this gw
-
Berahino.
slowly...but surelly...he keeps racking the pts. another goal 2day. mentioned him several weeks ago, but the dude gets no respecckt. 🙂 indeed, lots of cheap forwards make berahino not an option.-
I mentioned him a few days ago and got the same response.
-
-
Mate wants his opinion of his team v mine, rate them out of 10.
His -
Fabianski (Bego)
Komps - Lovren - Clyne (Kaboul/Shawcross)
Sterling - Dyer - Siggy - ADM (Schneiderlin)
Costa - Ulloa - Pelle
-----------------------------
Mine -
Forster (McCarthy)
Clyne - Azpil - Taylor (Pieters/PvA)
Siggy - ADM - Sterling - Cesc (Downing)
Costa - Pelle - Welbz -
for any poker players/fans on here. great documentary about the best player ever
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pt2AOIz1wk -
GW8 transfers opinions please
Bringing in Welbeck, downgrading Cahill for a hit (have to in order to make room for Welbeck)
Bego
Chambers Clyne Duff Moore 5.3?
Siggy Sterling ADM Fab\
Costa Welbeck Aguero
Who would you choose in that defensive position. Considering I have Stoke, Ars, SOU, BUR and LEI cover, looking at SUN, AVL, WBA? The usual names are popping up, Hutton, Wisdom, Dawson, PVA-
Hutton looks a good shout with their fixtures easing
-
Maybe an unfashionable choice but an everton defender maybe? decent fixtures.. not great form tho
-
-
On WC:
A: Di Maria + Pelle
B: Tadic + Aguero-
same decision as me except budget constraint means downing and aguero.
can't decide yet for me. tadic and aguero for you if i could afford.
-
