With West Brom and Man United set to see out the Gameweek tomorrow, we delve into the data from the nine matches played so far. Unsurprisingly, Man City, Southampton and West Ham’s in-form front men are on this evening’s agenda, whilst we also cast an eye over a couple of improving north London-based midfielders.
PS nobody else has Tadic or Baines
Bego --> Guzan for a hit is a waste of a transfer..
need to free the money up if I want to get Baines
Thing Jags is just a flash in the pan? Or more big points coming
He is probably doing it to have funds for Baines
This, the other sound good. If you don't need funds from 1st trade i.e.
I will be doing this same transfer but only because I have two free and nothing else to use them on. Ah, the luxury!
nah
personally would just do Guzan and Tadic if you must. Baines the week after.
Arsenal back five against Anderlecht, probably.
-----------------Martinez
-Bellerin--Chambers--Mertesacker--Gibbs
Three of these five have a combined number of 19 appearances for Arsenal.
Time to get Anderlecht attackers in your team. 😉
Agree-let me down badly this weekend in LMS 🙁
Why isn't Martinez on UCL Fantasy? 🙁
Can't stand watching Mourinho's BSing and ugly ass face during press conferences anymore, so I'm getting rid of Costa!
The bandwagon is so full this week it may tip over.
it always is, but some are worth jumping on!
Nah there are a lot of bandwagons that are surprisingly empty. Where is the Coleman bandwagon for example? I'm one of the few on it!
I'd love Coleman but I feel Baines is worth the extra .2.
Exactly, that is why his bandwagon is so empty. I am going with both.
I wish I could afford that.
There is a convoy of bandwagons
Will the slower price rises give a greater advantage to hit-taking transfer hogs that focus on team value?
It isn't that bad these days.
Yes
If you are heavily focussing on something with diminished importance then isn't that a bad thing?
i don't know... saw someone with a pretty good OR already concerned that their team value is adrift of others and its impacting his options
i understand the sentiment, but when we're often holding players for weeks to squeeze at .1 gains (which means you gained nothing in team value when you transfer them again), having the right players that are going up in TV may be of greater benefit later in the season (for those who can become more disciplined about transfers as the season progresses)Maybe. I guess it depends on your approach. I like having a few good value players rather than squeezing in all the big names.
I'm not sure myself. I'm just playing the way I have fun and rolling with it.
More curious how this pricing system change impacts how others do. Moves are so slow, then sudden.
Anyone thinking Everton might use
Barkley and Lukaku for PL,
&
Etoo and Naismith for Europa?
Because they are currently 13th in PL and they need to win all the relatively easy fixtures to gain their ranking..Yeah. That was probably their plan from the beginning till Barkley got injured
Nah doubt it.
Lineup on Saturday when everyone is fit is about right I think.They seem to play their full-strength team in Europa though 😕
hmm..coming Europa game will make things clear...If they do play full strength team..owning an Everton player is slightly risky then..
Champions league place up for grabs to the winners. If they continue with full strength teams in EL, think that's a signal of intent from Martinez. More chance in EL than breaking top 4
Jumped to 22k from 48k in overall rank. I don't have Aguero and a lot of people have him as vice captain coming in. Think I can still get a green arrow?
Small green perhaps.
You should.
Cheers
Did everyone catch the 2 most idiotic own goals in a single game?
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/soccer-dirty-tackle/sunderland-defender-scores-perfectly-taken-own-goal-154931702.html
Really want Falcao to come good tonight..I don't have him but it'd be good to throw a cat in amongst the pigeons....Going to have to improve a bit though.
My biggest gameweek rise ever - from 300K up to 15K 🙂 (not counting rises in the very early weeks).
Of course, that'll drop a good way tonight with only ADM + 6 from the bench but still, mediocrity to semi-respectability in one GW is plenty to smile about. Really shows how tightly bunched it has been this season in the top 10%Good stuff Rosco 🙂
Cheers Innsie. Would have been 10K, I guess, if I hadn't bottled out of buying Baines 😆
Got Baines myself this week. 🙂
Hard to argue with his scores
Yeah its tight all over. I've been doing terribly but still within touching distance of a top 20k finish....I hope.
Nice
Well done 🙂
Jumped from 180k to 5k this weekend. Just shows that its still very tight in the top 300k or so and picking the right captain seems vital.
Its a Marathon not a snickers.
wow..great score! mine only from 133k to 18k, with boyd and adm to come
The guy that got the Best score after the first day in this GW went from 2.2M to 150k
😯
Wow nice I also went up from 35k to 3k with ADM to come but this will change slightly once all the Aguero VC points come in
Same. 170k to 4k now. With wisdom n adm left i wonder where i will be after the gw. Will be happy with 15k
Who is best Everton player (fpl-wise) who isn't a defender?
Lukaku and Barkley. Given wealth of striking options I'd go Barkley
tough one
Mirallas (when back to health), Barkley & Naismith are all relatively cheap, but will all be rotated periodically to accommodate all players getting starts, Europa, etc.
Lukaku will get his points but I think he may be a little over-priced for what you get
be advised that Martinez has a strict policy that if a player scores in a game, they start the next game, keeps both subs and starters quite motivated
Everton fan
Mirallas imo
So only Di Maria blank can keep us nicely rank ? 🙂
Costa cameo.
Yep. Really hope he blanks
Forster
Hutton Chambers Moore Clyne Duff
Siggy Sterling Tadic ADM Boyd
Aguero Costa Welbeck
2.5m in bank. Would love Baines or Coleman but short. Luis, Kaboul or Jagielka reasonable alternatives?Is having Tadic and Pelle too much Southampton? If it is, why is it?
A Sunderland fan so keen on Saints players? 😉
I don't think it is too much until GW13.Ha, I know!!!!
I don't think so.
But that goes for any team. If they are scoring FPL points who cares if they are in the same team. I have both as of this week.I have three Southampton players. Many do. Its fine til fixtures turn
What? Did you see their scores this week?
Seriously though, not at all. Until fixtures stiffen of course.
My boyfriend decided he'd use his WC to copy my team as it was doing well... So he's gone from 7th to 2nd in my ML in the last two weeks. Fortunately he'll find it difficult to make up the 70 point difference with the same team.
Why didn't he make a totally different team to yours ?..OR really does ruin this game...
He decided he would rather replicate me for a while to beat the rest of the ML and then change it round in January.
😆
😆 Now he will use the transfers to get the differentials...but 70 points is too much...
never say never. Closed a 60 point gap this week to 2 points 😀
Different (C) choices might help him catch up.
70 points is not unassailable. This time last year I was 90 points behind mini league leader. A few differential transfers or different captain choices he'll be back in the mix. All depends on his fantasy pedigree really. If he's got a few top 10k finishes in his locker, he's got a chance
You really have to start feeding him false info now... leave your browser open at player profiles you don't want... casually mention how you've always fancied Victor Moses... lol
Only Foster playing tonight. Eek.
If he gets injured/red carded I will go mental. Already transferred him in.
What's your score this week?
115, so I can't really complain..
Yeah that's epic. Well done.
Do you think Eriksen + Aguero will significantly outscore Welbeck + di Maria? I'm starting to havbe my doubts. Such a tough call to make.
Never really liked welbeck and di maria has some tough fixtures.
They will both heavily be out scored by the other two IMO.Thanks, I need some encouragement 😀
It's also funded by Moreno > Chambers, so I'd need to make up +4, but I think the Aguero captainability helps with that also.
Looking at my options this week.... ive got 2 FT's, not sure what to do?
Guzan. Heaton
Baines. Bertrand. Wilson. N.Taylor. Moore.
Cesc. Sterling. Siggy. Tadic. Chadli.
Aguero. Costa. Naismith.
0.0 in the bank.That's really tough. I'd potentially use Cesc to fund upgrades on Naismith and Siggy, after this week.
Downgrade Chadli to upgrade Naismith
Chadli and not Siggy eh, interesting.
Now on 94 points with 3 to go! Provided there's no cards I'll hit a century tomorrow 😀 Hopefully I'll make the top 100k for the first time this season. 😆
Good luck. Beware of the VC's though.
Shouldn't be too bad since I have ADM! Or so I hope...
Look what happens when you don't take crazy punts 😉
😆
😀
Nice one! And no hits this week either 😉
😛 No transfers at all!
Now feel the power of 2 FTs 😀
Coleman or Ivanovic ? Got Baines
what do u guys think?
Ivan
I'm still with Ivan but need to monitor his attacking threat. It was non existent in the last game. Clean sheets isn't enough for that price imo
Kompany is my preference if you got Baines...but out of those 2 I would say it's a coin toss
I'm playing with the idea of him... Think City will tighten up?
Ivan
Coleman
I got Ivan in this week and he went from over 6pt average to 2. I feel I should let people know that over the last 3 seasons, every time I have transferred him in, he has gone on a barren spell. 4 TIMES this has happened!! Expect him to average 1.5 pts from now to Christmas when I will dump him and once again he'll hit double figures. :~)
102 points all out (inc -2 autosub). Gamboa to start and ADM and Falcao 2 pointers and im happy
Wishful thinking. 😉 Great score though!
A man can dream. Cheers 🙂
Wouldn't mind a booking for those two. Maybe a red. A guy can dream.
Nice Job KOL!
Cheers, first non-dgw century 🙂
Well done, still waiting for mine. If I'd played Krul instead of Bego I'd be 99 🙂
average week. 73pts plus DI Maria
Question is with 0.3m ITB is the obvious change to bring in Hutton for Targett?
Foster
Ivanovic * Clyne * Baines
Fabregas * Di Maria * Siggy * Tadic
Aguero - Costa * Sakho
Subs : - Elliot, Wisdom, Targett, Boydi would save if only 1 FT
Yeah, I've already taken a hit this week so that would be next weeks FT. Id either use it to bring in Hutton for Targett or a straight swap for Steven Taylor if he keeps his place after the clean sheet.
ADM captain tonight, make us proud!
New article
http://whichtransfer.wordpress.comMorono
He has probably been Liverpools best player this season, its not him thats the moron, but the cast of ejits he has to work with
I know. He's exciting to watch, would be a great pick if Liverpool could defend.
Is he a decent pick though? Im not sure. Rodgers seems clueless this season.
What's the best transfer you guys have done so far this season? Can anyone beat doing Fletcher to Pelle for a hit just before GW 4 started?
Costa > Adebayor before GW3. Oh wait...
😛
Sturridge to Pelle before gw 4
Jovetic to Pelle before Pelle started his awesome month. Got all Pelle's goals but one..
Same 😀
This week I swapped Moreno - Duff - Di Maria for Baines - Bertrand - Tadic for -4 points.
Unless Di Maria explodes then I'm pretty happy with it 😀
Kaboul, Mangala and Alcaraz look very nice under-the-radar picks.
Is Alcaraz nailed with Distin around?
Not kaboul though
hazard to sanchez?
yes
Moved from 32k to 483 OR. Only ADM left, big drop incoming you reckon?
Not really. Still in top 3K minimum.
Not picking an argument, just interested in how you work these things out: didn't you just tell a guy in top who had ADM plus two others that a big drop was very likely?
not big but decent, they're would be a fair few ADM captained in the top 5k
currnt team of
krul
baines betrand moreno
fab tadic sterling adm
pelle welbeck dzeko
bench: elliott dummett wisdm wanyama
3.5 itb, any real pressing transfers needed here?
was considering di maria + dzeko -> aguero + eriksenWait till after ADM's game tonight then decide
No Aguero is a worry for me. I think Aguero and Eriksen are arguably the best two players you could buy in your situation and I'd agree that ADM is the one to go out of Fab, ADM and Sterling.
Not an easy decision by any means though!
Providing united do nothing tonight, you may even rise further with Boyd coming in, although a few shifts of armbands from Costa to whoever might throw a spanner in the works!
* reply fail to beneath (tinkerman)
Wait till tonight's game.
sweet Dummet subs for Dzeko
9 years, 8 months agoNew plan
Bego
Hutton Chambers Moore Clyne Duff
Siggy Sterling Fab ADM Boyd
Aguero Costa Welbeck
this for -8
Bego > Guzan
Moore > Baines
Fabregas > Tadic
Genius or madness? I'm 16K and top in my ML by 21 points
