Want more thoughts (thanks to those who already replied):
Thoughts on Costa:
I get that everyone now sees him as a yellow-card-getting thug who gets one goal a game. But I remember how much everyone (OK not everyone) loved him in the early weeks of the season. Were people just wrong? Or has he changed? I reckon he has it in him to be the player everyone creamed over in the early GWs, but he is just a bit rough now. Could he not get back to that form, are have we just decided we were all wrong about him earlier?-
Until he gets back to his early season explosiveness, I won't be getting him. 11m for 5 points every week? No thanks.
-
You'll miss his explosive week though 😉
-
but make up for it by outscoring him in all the other weeks
-
-
-
People overreact, its what happens here. He wasn't the messiah in those early weeks and he isn't a lost cause now as people seem to want to paint him out to be for some reason. He will score more than most and will pick up needless bookings but while Aguero is out and most of us are flush with cash I don't think there's a more dependable source of goals around
-
This. 11m is alot, and certainly not "value" but all the players in your team can't be value picks (i.e. your money has to go somewhere), and he's the safest choice for a non-blank out of any forward right now
-
-
He got a hattrick back then. Always looked threatening and capable of getting more than one goal a game
-
His underlying stats have improved compared to then though.... 😉
-
I'm not denying that. He had form back then, plenty of it. Now he isn't looking so good and his finishing isn't the same as it was.
-
-
-
I'll keep him all season unless he pick up an injury. 5 points per game is consistency. I like that in a FPL squad. Most players aren't consustent above 3pts. Costa is 5 or 15 I'll take that over 2-7 points any day
-
He was overachieving in the early season. Very high conversion rate of shot for goal. I think he's more at normal level now and will keep scoring & blank & burst some weeks.
-
I agree about the conversion rate, but he's still getting more chances than pretty much anyone on a consistent basis week-in week-out
-
-
There will inevitably be games where he scores more than one, and that's when his consistency will look all the more impressive.
If he scored a hatrick at the weekend then he'd be dubbed 'essential' all over again...-
If he scores a hattrick it will show he's back in form. I don't think we can say he's in form at the moment, he's only just broken his goal drought.
-
-
Thanks for all the replies. I agree with the overall view that the early ecstasy was misguided, just as the current despair is. He will score, and some days he will score a couple, and that is OK by me.
-
Willing to keep while Aguero is out but he will be the one to go when he's back.
-
People don't like they are wrong. Complete joke to be getting five or so for eleven million. Keep, I need to climb some more. Others can match or oits core him pretty consistently.
He's no Luis or Rambo or Yaya from last year.
Plus he's ugly as feck!-
You win--ugly settles it.

start by getting a picture so people can recognize you, otherwise you're just another grey face... 😉
-
not meant personally, but it could help 😀
-
How do you get a grav?? 🙂 always wondered!
-
-
Cheers TM! Thought I'd done it, but realised I'd done it for a different email address!
-
Will you be running a January Wildcard mini-league this season, TM?
I would be willing to run one if no-one else is planning to.-
You are mre than welcome to run it. May just stick to Last man Standing this season. Other things take preference these days.
-
Thanks, TM.
I have now created a January Wildcard League (352700-723212), which will be open to anyone who wishes to enter, and scoring will commence in GW21.
I will email Jonty so that he can give it a mention in his next Community Roundup.

downing or siggy till wc?

Downing.

Downing.
-
transferred siggy out for downing
-
-
Priorities to get rid of. Thinking Eriksen + Zaba in. 1FT
Don't want to wait too long and risk losing out on Zab's great fixtures
a) Oscar (own Haz and Costa)
b) Baines
c) Clyne-
Clyne man
-
-
Yaya (c) looks appealing.
I have no "Yaya (c)'d" before.-
EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!11111111!!!!11!!!11111one!!111one!1111
-
Why?
-
The time has come..
-
-
Morning gents.
OR updated yet? Thought Baines was going to save my GW 🙁-
Well you were wrong!!!
-
Dead wrong. Feel like Baines -> Zaba/Demi already.
-
-
I totally brought in Baines and Lukaku this week to have something to look forward to on Monday night. It worked out, a bit, but it hurts to bring in Baines for 1 point.
-
-
Order of importance?
Siggy to someone so hot right now like Eriksen.
Or
Bertrand to City defender-
b, because Palace won't score.
Siggy and Eriksen are as inconsistent as other.-
each other* even
-
-
Berty - have you got subs?
-
Yes. Defence is not in a bad way but won't save my FT.
Wisdom-Azpi-Yun-Baines.-
Berty to City then
-
Cheers.
-
-
-
-
Berty to City
-
-
Hands up if you think City will struggle for goals
-
Yeah I'm beginning to think that.
-
Ahem!!! Pozo!
-
O/
This is why I'm not interested in Yaya -
I'm a bit baffled at the moment
-
O\
-
That didn't work 😳 In short, they'll score plenty.
-
-
question is, will that struggle for goals turn into more casual play at the back chasing more goals or a shoring up to defend the small lead?
-
o/ As long as Yaya is on most set pieces..
-
o/
-
I hope not. Need City to keep pressure Chelsea for some excitements.
-
Milner (c) ftw
-
Defenders more important from MCI ATM IMO
-
-
Pick 1:
A) Zaba + Silva
B) Zaba + Nasri
C) Mangala + Yaya
D) Clichy + Yaya
E) Other any combination of city defender + midfielder that isnt Yaya + Zaba.-
E) Demi Yaya
-
Cheers take it you went for Demi over Mangala because of the lack of rotation risk and less likely to get booked?
-
Meant less likely to get rotated than Zaba/Clichy.
-
-
-
-
Question: If the referee awarded Mirallas a penalty early in the second half and Baines slotted it in, Would everyone be rushing to sell him?
-
Ifs and buts can't justify the inclusion of a misfiring overpriced defender.
Get rid -
Fpl players are liddat...to me baines is not even my priority to sell yet.
-
This, i'm keeping. At least hes assured of starts.
-
Exactly!
-
-
if all that had happened AND Mirallas was still fit, yes I would still sell
-
Why don't I believe you?
-
a flukey pen doesn't negate the fact that Mirallas hinders Baines' forward movement and takes most set pieces off of him making him a 7m penalty taking defender at a team that hasn't even been defending all that well..
-
-
-
probably yes. the only reason im not is mirallas' injury.
CS's are a premium defenders' bread and butter -
Whatever! Coulda, shoulda, woulda..time to sell his a$$...
-
-
Clyne and Dawson > Demi and JT (-4)?
-
G2G gameweek 17?
Tom (Hamer)
Dummett Bertrand Chambers (Jags) (Hutton)
Downing Silva Hazard Sanches (Boyd)
RVP Austin (c) Rooney -
Baines now goes for me. Zaba/Clichy/Demi. I have enough cover that if one of them doesn't play it's not the end of the world so with only price/output in mind, is Zaba the best bet?
-
I think he's best if you have backup for his rest.
-
-
Where are you all from, and what do you guys all do for a profession?

GW rank updated
-
*rushes to FPL
-
Mine doubled. Lucky bar steward.
-
ah shite, i fell from 20k to 42k for the GW. No biggie, still my best GW of the season 😀
-
GWP: 68
OR 33851
up 4K from last week-
OR hasn't updated yet, only GW rank.
-
It has now. 35K!
-
-
-
80k 😀
If only Everton kept a CS... -
6428 gw rank 🙂 reasonable happy after 3 red arrows b4 that
-
857K Gameweek rank. Yo!!
-
811k here. High five!
-
-
No movement with Baines' pointer 😯
-
just updated. Stupid FPL
-
-
Slipped another 400 places. Need to get back on track.
-
Up to 38k. Surprised to be honest as I thought I did poorly. Way ahead in my mini league but making no headway in LAWRL 7 though. Main concern is my draft league. Have a decent squad with a gameweek off as I made the semi finals.
-
-
Big green, from 20 to 15... 🙂
Top 3 same score wow...-
Wow, nice shooting.
A big season for you, well done so far. -
Nice one, well played.
-
-
59k GW rank 😎
Finally broke into the top 50k! Halved my rank in two GW's -
Broke top 10K for first time this season 81 points 8705 rank! Congrats to all those with green arrows this week and better luck next week for those that didn't!
-
-
Costa last 11 GWs: 35pts
RVP last 4 GWs: 36pts-
Kane? Austin? Carroll?
-
thats how it goes sometimes. I don't think anyone can argue that RVP hasn't had a large slice of luck with his high scoring % recently, just as Costa had early in the season
-
Yeah of course, it's just an interesting stat and helps demonstrate the gulf of form between the two.
-
or the gulf in luck...
-
What's your problem with RvP? 😆
-
-
-
-
Nicely rephrased.
-
Cazorla last 2 GW's: 22
-
Costa PPG: 5.8
RvP PPG: 4.7-
Chelsea >> United
now imagine it when United clicks -
case closed
-
Costa has had a better season no doubt. That stat was just to highlight the huge gap in form between the two strikers.
-
You're right, this is the key stat, and if I could make the switch now I would.
-
-
Kane kills them both on the value scores.
-
-
Very good stat GB
-
Baines last 5 Gws: 5pts
-
-
Why does my GW update take longer than everyone. Is there something I should be checking in particular?
-
For lumps on your balls
-
It takes longer to calculate 7 figure ranks 😉
-
Ha! 🙂
-
Soz 😉
-
-
-
-
Why do people think Clichy will be dropped? Do they know something I don't?
He's looked pretty nailed on for the last nine gameweeks.-
-
Kolarov is coming to town...;)
-
He always looks so confused
-
-
-
Lolarov was injured..
-
That was when Kolarov was out injured. Let's check stats when they were both fit to play.
-
-
I thought if a player didn't play then your first bench player would come on? Didn't realise it was a defender for a defender etc.
Had Kane as my first bench spot and thought when Azpi didn't play that I'd get his score, instead I get Naylor's 0. Woop!!-
You have to play 3 defenders minimum
-
well you can't play 253 can you? 😉
-
It depends on the formation you play. Kane would have come on for you if you had three playing defenders.
-
You have to have at least 3 defenders on the "pitch"
-
Depends, did you go with 3-5-2?
Then, of course you would not be able to play a striker (2-5-3 formartion...) -
I had Azpi - Wisdom - Baines at the back.
Kane was my first bench spot and Naylor my 2nd.
Just thought if a player on my pitch didn't play it'd go to my first sub but I now understand that's not the case. My Kane goal celebration was rather unnecessary in the end. -
You have to have at least 3 playing defenders regardless what they scored playing
-
-
Or upated?
-
yup just now
-
What you on now Red?
-
-
80 points for the week despite my -4 for Azpi and Dzeko. Not too shabby.
Now...to get rid of Dzeko again. -
Overall Rank updated
-
Done Lukaku and Sterling to Silva and Sakho for a -4, my first hit of the season.
Feels good man.-
first hit of the season ?!
-
Yeah, I really don't make hits often, if at all. This is only my second ever hit in my history of playing the game, over 2 and a half seasons.
-
-
-
@Ryan
'If he scores a hattrick it will show he's back in form. I don't think we can say he's in form at the moment, he's only just broken his goal drought.'
You mean his 'drought' of 165 mins in which Chelsea only scored 1 goal? -
5.2k 😀
I wonder where I would be If I (C) Aguero over Siggy when City played Sunderland...-
Ifs, buts and preverbal maybes.
-
-
When does the YC count reset?
-
1/1/15
-
Of course, thanks.
-
-
New year
-
-
Hit a brick wall since GW8, rank remains almost unchanged!
-
I've been like that during same period, although starting to slip a little last couple GWs.
-
-
ANY CHANGES
de Gea
Pantilimon
Cahill
Clichy
Wisdom
Chester
Dummett
Hazard
Valencia
Yaya Touré
Walters
Montero
Austin
Bony
van Persie-
Please learn how to format your posts. Thanks
-
Get rid of Chester
-
-
-
Super happy with my GW, fell by 3k to 69k.
But I'll tell you why I'm so happy, I took a 12 point hit and am now set up beautifully for Xmas.-
sure
-
-
I can't believe it, with a score of 3 Monday night I got a 6 place rise.
-
It's really tight this year mate! Congrats on the small rise...
-
Must me the smallest green I've ever had.
-
-
Down to 1800 rupert. Terrible week.
Great score bud amd congrats on breaking the 1k-
Cheers. Time to forget about changing Haz captain and to refocus.
Get back in there soon.
-
-
I went down 800 places after Baines 1 pointer
-
Grrrr
