Ramsey(c), Caz and Giroud good triple up?
Wait for line ups.
Wrong season.
Ramsey time find some form over nice fixtures?
With Caz, Sanchez, Ozil and Giroud firing, I wouldn't pun on Ramsey and hope he gets an odd goal.
Confidence player, it's not there currently.
K thanks rethink needed
Even if he finds his form, he's not being asked to do what he did last season. His role is different.
Doesn't look right.
Wait for the line-ups.
Ramsey was terrible today, and Caz's ship might have sailed, if all fit I'd rather Bellerin Sanchez and one of Giroud /Walcott
Caz still going to be on sets n pens so happy with him n Giroud.
Still think tripling on Arsenal attack is too much. I think Ramsey will have his day though before the season is out and be a viable option at some point and the trick will be figuring out when that may be.
Alright my fellow DZers, let's hear it, how'd your WC team do on this apocalyptic day? Did it perform as intended or are you confident that in the long run things will unfold itself?
I'm firmly in the latter camp as I had an underwhelming GW overall.Meh. Only changed defence so time will tell.
True, looks like this GW will hopefully be the real test for our offensive picks
I am gradually recovering from my WC. Above average I reckon this week
Nice going Cheese, looks like you're in for a steady climb
Would've been even better had I not benched the wrong player, but pretty happy overall. Looking at my lineup for midweek makes me more optimistic, lots of good fixtures. I had saved screenshots of my potential wildcards from 2-3 weeks ago and they would've been a disaster by now, so I'm mega relieved I waited until the last week.
Who'd you bench? Yeah this following GW will hopefully be more lucrative offensively.
Aye, good that you're content with your current team in any case, always have to look ahead!Mané, played Puncheon instead. One of those where I played it too safe as I wasn't sure he'd start, and with hindsight it looks a terrible decision, so frustrating. Differential with the potential to explode against a crappy defence, and my ML rival who I'm ~40 points behind has Puncheon but not him. The even more annoying thing is I can definitely now see him getting Mané in this week. As soon as I saw Mané starting I just knew he was going to score, was a horrible feeling.
I sometimes wonder whether I'm cut out for FPL - situations out of my control such as injuries don't bother me at all, but if it's a decision I make and get wrong, I stew about it for days afterwards. Sorry I'm venting. 😆And if I'd remembered to read Spot the Differential or wake up before the deadline, I probably would've gone with him as well! *venting intensifies*
Well, 56 with Krul and Coloccini left to go, so I am happy. Autsin, Silva, and Baines out so some bullets dodged. And I had a great week the week before so I didn't regret waiting until the last week. Brought in Fonte, Giroud, and Hazard who all beat 2.
I'm all set for the DGW now too, although probably not bringing Austin back for it now.
We'll really know more after a few more weeks. One week is a short time to evaluate a WC I think.
Lads I am out. Is it certain that Austin and Kane won't change in place tonight..? Don't want to make transfer in this position... Thanks...
Night.
You should be safe tonight.
Nothing is certain with prices this season. If there's a possibility you can make the transfer then I would since it's such a no brainer. But you *should* be OK if you can't do it tonight.
Thanks lads. So i can continue drinking my beer. Cheers all. Lav ya FFS Community
Enjoy!
Putting all of my hopes in Krul, Wisdom and Boyd.
Not looking great.
Same, them + ADM for me
Just have to vent, so apologies (that’s what this site is for, right?).
Today I was infuriated by my accumulator as opposed to my Fantasy team. My team did just fine, shoving me up into the top 15,000, with goals from Kane, Hazard and Ivanovic as well as a good few bonus points scattered around.
But it was Skybet who wound me up. I stupidly put a £1 bet on a four-fold accumulator including Hull and Sunderland to win, and Leicester and QPR's games to end as draws, at odds of 851/1.
At half time, unbelievably, these results were all coming in. I thought Hull would never hold out, so I frantically began the impossible mission that was 'cashing out' with Skybet. They had some 'unfortunate' (convenient) technical difficulties which lasted until the end of the matches.
I actually went and wrote a formal complaint e-mail to Skybet, with absolutely no profanities, expecting they might send me a few quid to shut me up and keep me happy, but instead I received a response referring me to some small print about not being liable for factors out of their control, like technical difficulties.
For most people, I guess this would be a lesson in reading-the-small-print. Not me. No. I am now going to make it my life's work to win as much money off of Skybet as possible.
That'll show them...right?Send them broke.
Gambling is a mugs game 😉
Just leave them go to Paddy Power
you won't win. very hard to prove it was their difficulties and not yours
They published an apology fpr technical difficulties...
Also, I'm only joking about winning money off of them. That's lile saying i plan to win the lottery
It probably was just a genuine technical difficulty
Haha. Beautiful
I think I might just captain CoKane every week and be done with it. Fixtures appear to be no object for him.
He tends to diliver in big games. I remeber when he was everyone's captain vs Sunderland at home. But then again, Poch played him behind Soldado in that one.
It's funny how his pricetag still makes me reluctant to cap him.
Plenty captained him once for a fail.
Everyone fails sometimes though.
Like Aguero you mean?
Just like Aguero and any other top captain choice. Even Suarez who is the best captain option I recall got 2 points a few times.
Aguero has also delivered as captain.
Kane hasn't.Kane would have if we'd captained him as often as Aguero.
But he has delivered some big scores. Maybe we should have captained him more?
Captaincy % is a big factor for most.
Paying double for Aguero is a big factor too.Yes. Other people is also a big psychological factor which is again completely irrelevant to a players points potential. I psychological study of this game would actually be very interesting. Herd mentality I guess is at the core of so much of it.
Pricetag is such a psychological barrier to captaincy.
Odd isn't it.
It is all about getting perceived value out of your big spends rather than getting maximum points overall. I may come up with a graph.
He's been awesome for me since GW12, certainly my top point earner by some way I think. I'll have to check though.
Gtg?
Panti (QPR)
Terry (EVE) - PvA (QPR) - Bellerin (LEI)
Silva (Stk) - Haz (EVE) - Sterling/Sanchez - Cazorla (LEI)
Kane (Liv) - Aguero (C) (Stk) - Defoe (QPR)
Foster - Hutton - Wisdom - BoydI would consider Kane or Hazard captain ahead of Aguero atm
Kun won't be my captain.
What's the situation with Spurs chaps? Need an expert on them here really. Aside from Kane and Eriksen there seems so much uncertainty about who starts for them. I'm looking to bring in one of them for my draft league side that was available (can't pick certain players due to being assigned to other teams), namely Fazio, but it seems he isn't a certain starter.
Rose might be worth the shout. Lloris too. That's it.
Yeah, they've been taken so I might just avoid all together.
Both of these ^^^ I'd throw Chadli in the mix. He'll be back with a bang at some point soon I think.
I don't understand why he's not starting. He was their best player at one point.
If possible, avoid touching with barge-pole anyone except Lloris, Verthongen, Eriksen and Kane.
Cheers, will do just that then. Can feel better about myself not having any at least!
Vertonghen is a great player.
lloris proves himslef time and time again.
chadli has just come back from compassionate leave, i understand, and was starting to lool good again. Worth considering.
Just see the Pearson incident , what a idiot and a bit of a bully tbh his made himself look a bit of a wrong un
He's such an odd one for me because he seemed like such a genuine and positive guy leading into the year but he's done nothing but surround himself with embarrassment and bad publicity throughout the season. Maybe the stress is just overtaking him.
"Oh F Off and die!"
😀
Is that what he said ? Wow ! I've got the volume now my little girl has come in bed with me I just see it didn't hear the interview or analysis
No that was from an earlier debacle earlier in the season when he screamed it at some Leicester fans who were in row one heckling him or something.
Yep I think he got a bit big for his boots, ego got big and he can't handle it that the bubble has burst
Really gonna go for Mata (c), I know it goes against logic, but I think it's a perfect gw for it
Are you on WC or maybe trolling?
No Eriksen out Mata in for 3 gws
Makes no sense. Mata doesn't have assured place in starting XI.
Short term punt, Jan is his main threat n he will surely get in over him, the other is Fellaini he will play tomoz, to add steel, but it want be need against burnley, swansea and Sunderland.
Good luck.
Cheers
Template for top 10k, differentials for top 40k 🙂
You may be top 100k after that!
i've mata too. terrible player to have, BUT he probably wont start tomorrow and will probably start vs burnley and score at least 6 goals. #foolproofplan
Who's better to get before GW27:
A) Rose
B) Austin
Will already have Eriksen and Kane.B might have a broken leg so I think A. Although, it really would not surprise me in the least to see Bavies get one of those two games in their DGW.
Really? That's odd, it said he played all 90 mins yesterday
Broken foot I think. Very sad.
Reports suggest Austin and Dunne both left Loftus Road on crutches
A
I have two FTs and a pretty nice team, Sanchez being the only doubt for now. It looks like this:
Foster
Azpi-Clyne-PvA
Hazard-Sterling-ADM-Sanchez
Kane-Aguero-Giroud
Myhill - Wisdom, Moses, Wollscheid
My plan for now is waiting for the line-ups and then ditching ADM for Cazorla/Walcott. But should I keep to the plan in case Sanchez is still injured? I'd still hold, as I got him for 10.5 and Wisdom (WHU) would cover for him. What do you think?
Obviously I'll have rethink my tactic if ADM scores a brace tomorrow, but it won't happen (shame).Simply wait for Arsenal lineup and react accordingly. Simples.
I'd like to decide earlier what should I do if Sanchez misses the game. How much time do we have until the deadline? Half an hour? 🙂
45 mins
That's plenty, I'll chill out for now. Thanks 😛
This. Just have your two plans of action what to do depending on the Arsenal team sheet in advance and you are well sorted. Plan for if he's in and plan for if he's out.
Over the next 2 games would you prefer to have:
Defoe (QPR-WABA)
or
Giroud (LEI-cpl)Still Giroud.
Based on what I saw from Giroud today, I'd go for Defoe.
Defoe.
Giroud
Giroud.Defoe can't keep scoring at this pace when Sunderland just don't get him the ball enough.
But I've heard that too many times....
Giroud
Confusing, I'll have to go with my gut.
Need some opinions, what would you do with this squad?
Forster
Jones Terry PVA
Oscar Hazard Cazorla Silva
Aguero Kane Giroud
Heaton Lescott Boyd Hutton
1.4 itbSave transfer
Silva to Alexis if he's fit, save if not.
Not enough funds.
Downgrade Oscar to get Costa back
Shoehorning Costa, Lloris and Eriksen (Alongside Ivan, Hazard and Kane who I already own) into my team for GW 28 appears very challenging. Some of the non DGW players have very good fixtures that week and it will be a difficult job to drop them.
Won't bother with 6 unless a DGW.
This is for the DGW! (assuming Chelsea have it too)
Wouldn't bother with Lloris.
But that is the bonus one you can have on your bench in GW 27 so you can get away with one less hit than others.
You probably should have Lloris in your team now if you want to save a hit.
I will be able to avoid the hit. I have been carrying an extra FT for the purpose
Unless you plan to have 4 DGWers on the bench in GW27, you'll be taking a hit.
The final will probably see some players injured.I do intend on having 4 DGW on the bench. That is exactly my plan!
Yeah I mean he's just very expensive, their defense is pretty bad anyway, and it's another transfer you'll probably need to sort out to get rid of him after the DGW. Also spending one on him means you're not spending it on an attacking player where points potential is so much higher and we have such a finite number of transfers from now to the DGW. Also I'm not sure how your team / itb is situated but I don't have enough lying around to upgrade my second GK to him by some stretch.
I should be able to have 3 from spurs and 3 from Chelsea as long as one is a keeper with no hits
Then you've won the game, Cheesy.
Yay! I'm no 1!
I'm planning bringing in Chad Erik and Costa for a -4 to join Kane Ivan Haz (not getting Sanchez in next 2 makes this very easy ( high tv)
any latest news on Walter's fitness?
Nothing new.
I was pretty convinced Chadli would be back in today. I thought he missed the last one because he was away from training for 10 days because of his a Dad's passing.
Seemed an odd one to play Lamela in the derby, although he apparently did ok.
Are there any signs he'll reclaim his place?So was I. Lamela helped Chadli a lot by being himself (complete rubbish) on the pitch today.
I don't see Dembele or Lamela getting the nod over Chadli.
Lamela did okay, with the team doing well, I think Chadli will remain on the bench for the time being.
Even with 2games in 3 days? Maybe he'll start liv. Not a great fixture tho...
I'm going to have to sell him. Lamela played well so even without the coming blank he's trouble.
Gonna wait for the lineups tue, or just get rid now?
Yeah, thanks for the comments guys.
Given chadl's output when he's played, it's a bit of a mystery that he's been out the team for pretty lengthy periods. There has to be something Poch doesn't like. Just weird that Lamela would keep him out, as he seems a bit flaky.
You're right though Kalm, he seems trouble.
Would you rather have Boyd goal or Wisdom CS?
#clutching strawsWisdom CS, which means Foster CS, which is 8 points between them. 😛
That's the thing. Boyd goal is just for me and a couple more. WBA CS means points for everyone. Double for some.
Wisdom and Foster owners make up for only 60% teams in the top 10k. Boyd goal would be better though if you can't have both.
can anyone claim the most boring job ever?
to justify their time on here?I was working in a telephone market research call centre last year with unlimited internet access. Fair to say I did a lot of posting during that time.
Year before last actually.
I crush sprite and coke cans for a living.
It's soda-pressing.
ZING
I once worked in a factory putting packets pf rice onto pallets. All day. 8 hours a day, just stacking rice.
A bit irrelevant, sure.Until you feck up.
i've done that with many jobs. thats a normal job.
i've been had, i've been better been had ......
I did telesales for a while that was soul destroying
What are the chances Giroud, Caz and Wally start Tuesday? Really want to save a FT.
No idea, nor is it worth even spending time thinking about since we get the team sheet. Just plan for what you will do in each possible scenario.
Yeah. Need to kind of plan so I don't do something stupid last minute if one of them is on the bench though.
Exactly.
Giroud out would be interesting for FPL.Don't say that.
Could easily happen.
Nah!
Akpom IN!
There will come a week when Wenger surprises us by benching Giroud for Akpom. I doubt it will be the week after a loss though.
True.
Welbeck is a factor now.
no chance akpom is making his first start in the league after arsenal coming off a loss
Yeah, it would stir things up. I'd probably do Gru + ADM to Caz and Sturridge then.
Huge
Hope you're right.
Welbeck was not encouraging.
He rarely is.
Come on! They wouldn't have scored at all without Welbeck
Welbeck was their best player.The bar was low, but sill.
Why bother? Just have a plan prepared.
Indeed.
Pretty good I'd say. Welbeck played to give midfield a bit more strength. Walcott more likely on Tuesday
if he wants to turn the fans back against him he will bench some players
I expect a first team 11, they need to win
Leicester is not just going to roll over
ADM, Alexis, Silva or maybe even Ozil for next GW???? Got Haz Caz and Johnson...
Sanchez. If unfit then Wally.
Arsenal will run riot on Tuesday, please Sanchez start!
Hoping he does. Even though I'll have to buy him back.
austin out, defoe in
Good.
Clyne (WHU) or PVA (QPR) to start?
PvA
Clyne
A tough one, maybe you can field them both? Who's your weakest link in the front?
I you really needed to bench one I'd say it should be PvA.No one really!
Puncheon Silva Hazard ADM
Giroud Kun Kane
Any ideas when Chelsea and Leicester will have their double gameweeks?
28 or 31. Depends when Leicester get knocked out of FA Cup
Ha! Poor Leicester. Cheers for the heads up.
31 would make life a lot easier for everyone I think.
Yeah, blank is a big factor.
But squeezing everyone into 28 may just be more fun
I might just WC 6 in. Leicester and QPR don't really count.
The only reason I may end up with one of them (especially if Austin is injured) is I may need to drop a value on someone somewhere so I will probably be taking a hit in order to get the 6 I want. So may take a punt on Fer or someone. But I would sooner not
Chuba Akpom is a real punt I admit but is there any chance of him replacing Giroud? I severely doubt it but just a thought.
Other than to give him a rest? No way.
campbell and sanogo didn't so why would akpom? Nope, maybe in a couple of years time
Sanchez, Welbeck, and Walcott haven't been able too either.
yep, maybe one game or if giroud is injured
What's wrong with gru?
he didn't score today
Nothing.
I guess this mane character is kinda popular all of a sudden? 😛
He's the Mane man
I'm furious because he was in my wild card team the entire week until I got worried about Silva possibly getting a big haul against Hull and swapped.
Silva -> Mane this weekGotta hate that. I did similar but removing costa for his haul cos i was worried di maria of all people 😡
Good start to my draft league. Traded Moses and Crouch for Mane and picked up de Jong from the free players trade pool. Then proceeded to transfer out Steven Fletcher for Mame Biram Diouf. Scenes.....
Haha lovely. We gotta get you in knocks and niggles league next season.
3 mane's did me well this gw 🙂Yes thank you, will be interested with my masters finished. 🙂
😉
Cheers for your help this week Walsh. 🙂
Just doing my best, glad I could be of help!
Thanks for the tip 😆
Krul
Terry Clyne Wisdom
Cazorla Eriksen Sterling Haz
Kane Kun Giroud
Subs: Pantillimon, Naughton, Puncheon, Bellerin
1 FT, 1.7 ITB
Suggestions for changes? Giroud to Defoe?Giroud for Defoe?! Have you lost your marbles?
I'd save the trade
Agree, don't get over excited by Defoe. Good fixture coming up but .... it is Sunderland
Touché but only because once I bring in Defoe I can do Caz to Sanchez
hmm could do bring Mane in for Erkissen and then get Sanchez for Caz?
🙄
What a great day to be a spurs fan. A home grown kid sticks 2 past the gooners to turn defeat into victory. Good days for spurs fans have been thin on the ground over the last 25 years so got to take a moment to enjoy them. 🙂
