The Scoreboard presents the Fantasy Premier League information you need from the day’s matches all on one screen, including the current top five BPS (Bonus Point System) standings from each match (potential Bonus Point earners are in bold). Actual Bonus Points will be shown when added – all points are provisional until then.
Boyd. Saylor. Cameron/Blackett
No need for Silva when Kun is back imo.
And Austin is still better value than those cheap mids.
Too much sacrificed for that front line IMO.
Costa to cheapie (Kane/Austin) and Lamps > Fabs maybe?
That midfield is revolting 😉 would downgrade Rooney and upgrade Lampard and Boyd
Imo, this is a poor team. Sorry.
Pissed up now
Can't fault that front line though
Don't question me on Aguero though.
Now I'm just pissing about coz it i s late🙂
how much do you have itb with this team?
i have 1.9m
Can you guys help me here??
Been to confused with my defence
Kolarov//Azpi//Chester//Schulpp//Wisdom
What can i do as surely i know Kolarov eont be starting against Sunderland unless Clichy is injured
1. Most discussions here are prediction related. I spend a lot of time here and now want to make worthwhile coz I do like forecasting. U now intend to do actuarial science as a send degree. Can someone shed more light on its relevance, mental stregth required, benefits etc
2. Is Actuarial Science> Statistics too sideways or a downgrade?Ignore spelling mistakes pls
actuarial is hard.
what are your degrees so far, which field are you currently working in and where do you want to work / what kind of job do you want in the future?
Bachelor of science in Chemistry. The rest I have explained.
Used to work as an actuary. Was a dreadfully dull and depressing job. But well paid
I think it depends .obviously some difference between general insurance and life insurance and pensions.
then also difference between multinationals and just local companies.
pricing seems to be more fun than reserving, reporting. capital modelling very interesting for from what I heard.
also with developments in solvency II there are many roles in consultancies and in investment banks.
but this is only what I heard, best to speak with some actuaries 🙂Pensions was depressing as mainly just telling people bad news after bad news following market crashes. My wife still works in it
I never expected to read Solvency II here. I am on FFS aren't I?
hahaha.
i did maths and stats at Newcastle uni. Breezed through and got a 2:1 just by learning the past papers
I then went on to London to work as an actuarial student with Aon. I got one study day a week and was expected on top of that to do 20-30 hours study a week in spare time. Exams were hardest I have ever sat. You need a massive amount of dedicationThe studying needed to become an actuary can be tough but, if you make the effort, can be rewarding. Statistics is a more general field. imo you don't need actuarial science to follow that career and are probably better off following a course with broader applications.
I would agree with this re forecasting. Statistics a better choice.
And to be fair I used to use my study days to get to old Trafford for mid week games 😉This. Study at weekends. Use study days for things you'd normally do at weekends. Much less stressful.
studied act science...hard indeed but i took the wrong approach and cramming and just passing through.
wasnt good at what i did but was paid well. opted to do my cfa ratherisn't CFA even harder to study?
I switched and now run my own garden maintenance business 🙂
Hey there late DZers.
Hope your GW was better than mine (which wouldn't have been very hard 😆 ). I'm off to USA tomorrow for a 2 week holiday, it'll be nice to have a break from fantasy football! Anyway, an early happy new year to you lot, all the best for 2015 🙂Happy New Year to you too Innsie!!
PS. They have the internet over there I think so you should be able to log on. 😉I'll try stay logged off for as long as I can, I spend way too much time thinking about FPL/FFS as it is 😆
Mate where are you going?
I am in N FloridaL.A then Vegas 🙂
Nice one mate
What are your trip plans?
Ever been U.S?Without a doubt, no ifs, no buts, drive or bus down to San Diego mate!!!
Best city on Earth.
Blissful.
Only 60-90mins from L.ACheers Stup, I'll look into that.
Only plans at the moment are the theme parks with the family, Disneyland, Universal Studios, Six Flags etc, and then a helicopter ride around the Grand Canyon. Looking forward to it!
Have a good time mate. I took my holiday away from Auckland to the sunny bay of islands! Vegas is amazing though so enjoy it. I could recommend a million things but make sure you go to the the grand lux restaurant in the Ventian
Cheers mate!
Mate save some money and just sack off L.A and go San Diego.
Not to piss on your parade but L.A is a grade A sesspool.
Sea World and San Diego Zoo and the kids will be happy.
Take them to Disney for a day yes but then go online and book a dirt cheap hotel in San Diego (it can be done hahaha)
Trust me pal. Don't miss S.D.Haha ok thanks mate, will see what I can do 🙂
Have a great time 🙂
Don't get shot. 😉
All the best to you and yours, Innsie! 😀enjoy it mate
Happy New Year to you too Mate!! Enjoy Vegas 😉
nice one mate, have fun! 🙂
Of all the names mentioned as a YYT replacement surely Miralles is a good bet. Seems a good punt & although injury prone you could just sell on the wc. Next 5 are hull, MCI, WBA, crys, liv so looks quite tempting. Thoughts.
I hate him. Don't know him at all... but I hate him.
good shout! no room for him though :/
Not right now, he isn't.
Everton are hopeless at the moment I personally would avoid their players. Get a Liverpool midfielder.
Ssssssssh 😉
Small green arrow
Small mercies 🙂Do.
You took the words right out of my mouth
How do you think United's defense will line up this week ?
---------- Jones // Evans // Smalling ------------------
Rafael --------------------------------------- Young/Shaw
Main ML rival has cut my lead from 80 to 37 points mainly due to my poor/unlucky captains choices. This week he will stick with silva who has served him well last two gws. He's predictable. Should I stick with Austin after last week, switch to hazard who likes Spurs or play safe with silva even though I'm not convinced he can keep conversion rate up!
I'd say play it safe
It goes against all I believe in ff but I think for consolidation purposes and to try break his momentum it's probably the right call
Whoever you think will score the most. Too early for blocking moves in MLs
Doos what to do with Downing from gw23 onwards? those fixtures...
Getting rid for siggy, here
Depends on his form.
If our aforementioned strikers find new and inventive ways of missing ...Who would you switch to if already had siggy?
Maybe Johnson. BUT - it is too early for me.
Would you consider Chadli or Henderson?
Hmmm. Probably not. But I am a form over fixtures man.
There must be no better time in the season to go for some lovely punts. I have gone for a couple of liverpooly ones. Who is everyone else going for until the wildcard?
Mirallas, Coutinho, Ings, Carroll, Cazorla
Bolasie --->
1) Sterling
2) Lallana
3) Someone Else?
Eriksen? Mane could be worth a punt.
Mane with ACON coming? no thanks!
have eriksen..taking a punt
Sterling
thanks
Little help, please..
I have 2 FTs atm. Now if i Would use a wc (i won't though, don't have it), will i still have the FTs left?nope
That's just stupid..
No.
Two questions,
1. Do I offload Siggy for Silva or Sterling, or keep?
2. Who to bring in for Bony - Jovetic/Tekkers/ Carroll?1. Offload
2. take Jove punt
If you bring in Jovetic, I'd do Sterling
Been suggested a couple times now to bench Azpi. I'm not against the idea just curious to the reasoning. He should play this week since being rested right? Is it the form of Eriksen / Kane? If so I've also seen a lot of people benching Kane.
I just can't see me benching a Che player..
Three consecutive red arrows, currently on
Foster
Baines Clichy Zab
Siggy Sanchez Downing Silva
Falcao Costa Austin
Krul Hutton Marney Duff
1.5 itb, saving my FT this week and doing Downing + Falcao --> Hazard + Kane
Thoughts gents?Nah... Falcao and Marney to Kane and Hazard possible?
Not possible, and tbh I prefer to have bench players like Marney and on WC probably Boyd than having to go through the deleimma of rotating and choosing who to play every week!
Okay! Take out Sigurdsson then? Bring him back for Downing later
I could do that, but would you explain this love for Downing with his upcoming fixtures, I beleive Siggy is the better player and will end up scoring more at the end of the season. That's the only reason is Siggy not Downing for me.
I dont think its about which player will score more pts at the end, its about maximising pts imo but what do I know 😉
Downing: WBA, swa, HULL, liv
Sigurdsson: qpr, WHM, CHE, sot
1. Best three forwards from here to January?
2. Best three mids from here to JanuaryTekkers Austin. Costa
Haz. Silva. Downing
Easy peasy
Sanchez/Fabregas/Sterling over Downing, surely?
Not Sánchez, no ...
1. Any three - there are no games
2. See 1.I meant to end of Jan
Austin, Benteke, +1, Hazard, Silva, Sterling.
Sterlings done nowt.
Carroll, Austin, Kane
Hazard, Downing, xxx
Morning all,
Thoughts on Sterling after last night's 4 goals and not even an assist for him?
Also is he likely to get a retrospective ban for lashing out towards end of the game?In my opinion, the person who is directly responsible, is his idiot manager.
The poor lad is under almost unimaginable pressure - but his form holds up! Amazing! Something had to give ...A ban might actually do him some good by giving him some much needed rest!
yup! Hoping he gets the ban..so that I can bring in Lallana or Coutinho
Coutinho is an FPL tease; often his stats look great, but rarely produces decent FPL points...Lallana could be worth a punt; how much is he?
Too much imo. Been missing until this last GW and his first goal he can thanks Fabianski for.
Who is the best to replace Bony, RVP or Rooney, don't feel like Costa and I already have Austin?
I went with Rooney.
pant
hutton clichy azpi
hazard yyt sanchez siggy silva
austin costa
bench: kane dummett wisom
after the nighmare of azpi and clichy not starting last week should they start this week?yes
Hope so, I've brought in Hutton for Moore tho just in case.
yeah took out chambers and marney for hutton and siggy
Morning. RMT
2 free transfers done. Yaya + Moore > Silva + Hutton giving me-
Guzan
Baines, Zabaleta, Clichy, Hutton
Downing, Silva, Sanchez, Hazard
RVP, Austin
McCarthy, Kane, Azpi, Boyd 2.4 itb
(C)?
Bench right?
Siggy owners raise your hands.
\0/I did Siggy to Silva 2gw ago for a net total of +1
😎😕
Plus all the price rises to be used on your WC. 😎

@ u
I Have Downing, Haz, Erickson, Sanchez and Silva, I considering to get either Fab or Sterling, what do you guys think? IMO I'm thinking to let Sanchez go, seeing that the others have solid fixtures, but with Walcott returning soon, that may be a dumb move, and after all he is top of the charts half way through?
Who else is left with the decision of benching Kane or Siggy this week?
Easy one imo. Bench Kane.
That's what I'm doing so far.
@ Doosra
Any captain ideas based on your tables? Is Hazard better option than Austin/Silva?I just love how 150000 sold Siggy two GW's ago and how people are now thinking of selling Sanchez & Co.
It's gonna be the old story of managers destroying their teams with their January wildcard.
Can't wait.
Getting cocky are u?
this!
Because he's in the top 4k! 😛Bless, let him enjoy then
I am thinking to bench Sanchez for Rooney, am I mad? 😯
you need to sell tekkers!!!
Morning gents!
Would you get rid of Siggy for Sterling? I think Bony leaving to ACON could decrease siggy appeal, Swansea also not looking too good atm. Two freebies and not sure what to do with this lot:
Guzan
Zabelta, Terry, Hutton
Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy, Downing
Costa, Austin, Rooney
Subs: Gilks, Naylor, Chester, Cattermole --- 2 FT's, 2.4 ITBSiggy to Sterling and keep other ft.
Thanks Shefki. That's what I thought also.
I have the same problem Siggy or downing for Sterling and like you pointed out Bony off to ACON thinks he's the one to make way..
Do you think Sterling is not in danger to be rested vs Leicester? I hoped Rodgers would have subbed him off earlier yesterday as the game was all but over at 4-1.
There is a chance him being rested but highly unlikely. Can't see Balotelli or Lambert leading upfront.
Would also captain Sterling if I had him.
What if Sterling gets a ban?
Just wait for more news then but really hope he gets that. (non owner)
Was it bad? Havent' seen that incident.
Would have been straight rc if ref would have seen it.
Get Lallana maybe could be a POD and played well v Swans
If Lallana is pod then he will be on bench
Best replacement for Skrtel? 6.3 to spend, have no Chelsea defenders
Azpi.
This
Interesting results in the Comparison Tool between Coutinho and Sterling if selected for the last 4 GWs
Coutinho reminds me of taabarat too much when it comes to stats
You mean Taarabt? 😆
Yep. Have forgotten his name, wish I could forget his impact on my FPL history.
9 years, 5 months agoPotential WC......
Yikes.......
Ddg
Azpi. Alderweireld. Hutton
Lampard. Silva. Downing. Hazard
Costa. Rooney. Aguero
McCarthy.
