Our first delve into the members data this week sees us assess the recent displays of Sergio Aguero, Diego Costa and Olivier Giroud and take a look at the “Sherwood effect” on Christian Benteke as Villa prepare for double Gameweek 31. We also check out the form of Swansea and Tottenham’s playmakers as the fixtures turn kind for both clubs.
Gtg or use ft ?
Pantilimon
Ivanovic Bertrand Clyne
Hazard Sanchez Downing Mane Silva
Aguero (c) Kane
Heaton Berahino Baird Wasilewski
0.1 ITB
Maybe Berahino to Costa and sanchez to Sigurdsson?
Stick.
Good to go imo
Thanks for replies
Gtg
Easy save, mate.
Cazorla to Henderson Yes or no?
Tough upcoming games for Hendo. Try another option
Who?
See below
No. Dont touch until you know when either has their dgw
I wouldn't want to keep Cazorla regardless
Who would you have got?
Mane or Siggy
Best PPG midfielder in that bracket, why would you be so keen to get rid?
Been lookin relatively flat and other players coming to the fore again
Not been doing it lately. Rotation risk as well
Probably same. He's aplayer I never sign. Just gets blanks or bursts of form. Too unpredictable for me.
gw32
I'd get Siggy instead.
You know when u ask but you already did it.....
lolNo. How's that work?
Badly
Panti
Ivanovic, Skrtel, Fonte
Hazard, Sanchez, Silva, Eriksen
Aguero (c), Austin, Kane
Krul, Rose, Boyd, PVA
Anything to change?
1FT, like Mane but can't find room for himStick for now.
Nice team, save the FT
Not bad. Stick.
so many teams looking so similar at the moment.
Skrtel out, Rose in.
Tempting, but Skrtel has been awesome since I got him 8 GMWKs ago, United can be beaten plus Skrtel is due a goal, if I could play Rose as well then I would happily do that, but just don't want to leave anyone out.
Why are people so keen to ditch Cazorla? Best PPG midfielder in that bracket.
It's not always useful to use season long stats. You need to acknowledge form
He's been a bit pants from open play for FPL points by my eye recently. Blank upcoming. Plenty of midfield options suddenly presenting themselves now too.
Who would you replace him with? Sanchez?!
Not necessarily Arsenal.
Bench 2 of these..
dawson, terry, azpi, rose, Clyne.Silly to include Dawson in that question. I'd bench Rose.
Rose Daws
Dawson and Rose
Thanks chaps
Any advice for my team?
Foster - Myhiill
Terry - Vertonghen - Alderweireld - Cawson - PVA
Sanchez - Silva - Eriksen - Mane - Ameobi
Aguero - Sturridge - Kane
Got 2 FTs and 0.6m in the bank.
A. Sturridge+Eriksen ➡ Benteke/Giroud+Hazard
B. Sturridge+Sanchez ➡ Benteke/Giroud+Hazard
C. Eriksen+Vertonghen ➡ Hazard+Yun
D. Sanchez ➡ Hazard
E. Other?
Help please. I'm getting more and more confused with every passing day. 🙁Hmm...tough one here mate. C looks okay but it is pretty tricky since having Yun and PvA is not desirable. I kind of like the idea of holding Sturridge at this point too. I think maybe D and float would be your best option and consider whether or not you want Alexis back in for the double or not.
Thanks Walsh. 🙂
I have my WC. So every move I make is short term.
So carrying PVA and Yun(DGW 31) may not be that bad an option. But C involves losing 2 players who play Leicester this week.
Was tempted to lose Sturridge earlier today as the next 2 fixtures are tough and he looks a bit rusty. Giroud in fine form and Benteke with a DGW coming up is making me twitchy. So was leaning towards A.Take a few gambles now and play ur wc on a big dgw. Quids in.
Will be playing my WC in gw 34. Benteke in you say?
Yeh I would do it.
plus I'm a villa fan so I really hope it pays off.🙂
Cheers.
I see...lots of complexities. I find it's a really difficult week to figure out what to do and what direction to go in general. If you are just looking towards getting through to GW33 then I'd be way more tempted to lose Alexis since you can bring him back in on WC for the double if you want. Yun is really crap, though. He's a Championship player. I'd similarly probably hold off until Arsenal's double to bring in Giroud. since he's going to be another transfer out in a couple of weeks unless you are okay with just two strikers in GW33.
Some good points here, esp for wc ppl
So just a simple Sanchez ➡ Hazard you say? Hmm...
No Arsenal attack vs a kak Newcastle defense this gw would worry me though.
This is really tough. 🙁Gamble now if u want to make serious gains...u can go back to a conservative team with ur wc
Probably right.
i need to give this some more thought. Cheers for the help. 🙂
It is really tough, I'm dithering in thinking of what advice to give on it myself 😉 I do envy your WC left though 😀 Good luck PoP!
Haha...thanks for the great inputs mate. 🙂
Great points Walshy, +1 😀
A with Benteke for the double, although would probably do Sturridge to Tekkers and save the other transfer this week as Eriksen has a good fixture.
Thanks. 🙂 Thought about this option.
But going without a fully rested Hazard vs Hull (may even captain him) is making me nervous. Eriksen has been poor in the past few games. Hazard also has the potential to dent my rank more due to higher ownership than Eriksen.
So was leaning towards making that switch.
Pants
Terry, Koscielny, Wollscheid
Sanchez, Hazard, Cazorla, Eriksen
Kun, Kane, Austin
Krul, Boyd, Dawson, Tomkins
2ft, 2.3m
Keen to hear some ideas lads. Thinking of ditching an Arsenal mid for Mane.Looks good that transfer.
Siggy can be another option.Personally I would switch Caz to Mane but make sure Arsenals double isn't in 31 first.
Cazorla out would be my priority. Probably float the other.
I got Hendo as a diff and possible dgw
I'd also take Cazorla out, just not a good FPL prospect right now and there are better options at that price at current.
I'd just do Caz to Mane/Siggy IMO, and save the other as your XI is solid for the GW.
I'm getting sick of Sánzhes, intending to replace for Mane and loose some cash, do it now or wait a week?
I wouldn't make that switch.
Not at all
Lose someone else.
Villa have an upcoming DGW though..
Not too shabby for my planned DGW
Ospina
Terry Sakho Clyne
Hando Hazard Sanchez Mane
Costa Sturridge Giroud
Hopefully Foster and Haidara is back on GW 33 else I'm short by 2 players.Ugh. Don't even want to look at these types of posts with my non-WC. I'm going to try really, really REALLY hard next season to not blow it in the opening weeks of the season!
Mine one's gonna be better. 😉
*My
Everyone stop what you're doing right now, and go watch Black Sails! Bloody cracking show this second season, great character building, plot, politics and just the overall show has really stepped it up this season (did I mention swordfights?)
Better than Better Call Saul?!
Wouldn't go that far 😉 but it's a quality watch, and it's a great differential from the rest of the shows right now
Is it on Netflix?
Hmm not sure bud, don't have it myself 😕
Is it a BBC show?
Nah, it's a Starz series, and I just found that it's streaming on Amazon Prime Instant and Hulu right now only
Cheers Zasa. Will keep an eye out for it.
Does any one know what's the highest score of all time that has been reached in fantasy football?
Someone scored over 200 one week, including an incredible DGW. probably 3-4 seasons ago i think, roughly.
It would've been GW31 last season probably. Suarez, Yaya and others went absolutely bonkers.
Yeah probably, be good if Barclays would give a highest of each year gone by.
Top 10k average was nearly 150 that week!
https://fpldiscovery.wordpress.com/2014/03/26/gw-31-final-results/Awesome foraging BG. What a week:
Suarez - 25
Yaya -31
Sturridge - 18
Lukaku - 18
Barley - 20
Rooney - 15
Zabaletta - 12
Those were the days!
This new Fixture of Villa and QPR for DGW31 doesn't excite me much. think if you have Austin id keep for the double if not save transfer...being a International break and all. play this GW out to review our teams after.
1FT 1.1Bank
G2G
Heaton (Pants)
Ivan Bertrand Bellerin (PVA, Haidara)
Sanchez Silva Hazard Eriksen (Ameobi)
Kun Kane GiroudLooks fine for this GW. I'd save.
Thanks Walsh..how's your looking for this GW
I don't know. I wish I knew. Just saving my transfer and hoping for the best, really 😀
Hey guys, Any chance of Arsenal and Sunderland also getting a DGW in GW 31? Tempted to hold Caz now just in case news breaks over next few days etc?
Don't be tempted
news would have to come quick
Always a chance. Hold your transfers closer to the deadline.
Which teams have a dgw and when?
Thanks. I will decipher this when sober.
thanks for putting this together Balders
good stuff mate
commenting so I can check this as well as I'm also lazy (and still at the office)
🙂
this 😉
The DGW in 31 excites me as a Austin owner. Perhaps a captain differential?
Great reason to keep him now.
Agreed. Little consolation for us Giroud sellers haha.
i hate this game. last week destroyed me and now im stuck with useless players and everyone around me gaining. anyone want to sell me a wc?
sell you a top 5K team with a WC?
im not sure i would get that by my mini league without them noticing something was different 😉
hehehe I wouldnt sell it anyway really because its got a UFPL account attached to it 😛
How much?
Any advice for my team? I'm thinking PVA to Alderweireld. I have 0.9 million in the bank, and I'm sick of red arrows!
Panti/Foster
Terry/Clyne/Hutton/Wollscheid/PVA
Hazard/Silva/Sanchez/Eriksen/Boyd
Aguero/Kane/AustinSolid transfer.
I would get giroud or rooney...
with 0.9 in the bank what's my best route of getting Giroud in?
Downgrade eriksen, silva or sanchez not saying they are disposable just more replaceable than on form strikers.
GW 31 captaincy choices are interesting-
Austin - DGW
Benteke - DGW
Aguero - cry
Kane - bur
Hazard/Costa - STO
Who would you be going for?Tekkers
Austin or Benteke if I decide to bring him in.
Problem is Benteke's fixtures after that aren't great.
I will ditch him for Sturridge(NEW) in gw 32.
It's just about c choice
Would be a two week punt - keep for Spurs, and then get rid for GW33. Some considerable upside but it would be risky since Austin also will need to be transferred out if you have the pair. Probably has to be either or and not both, if being sensible and wanting to avoid hits.
Tekkers if I had him
I'm going for Tekkers likely if I get him in
Afternoon lads. Any recommendations here?
Panti
Terry - Vert - PvA
Sanchez - Haz - Eriksen - Mane
Aguero - Austin - Kane
Krul; Mahrez, Dawson, Trippier
3.6ITB + 1FT
Thinking Trippier to Alderweireld and benching PvA. Thoughts?Good transfer.
Toby is insane value.Agreed. Been waiting patiently for him.
Yeah, sounds fine to me. I'd also consider just losing PvA instead of Trippier....he's pretty useless and has a blank looming although it looks like your team is pretty well set up for it.
Goodnight guys...some seriously helpful ppl around at this time. Nice to see.
Night mate.
Is Hazard going to rise today....??
Actually my team is:
Foster. Jaku.
Clichy. Jones. Bellerin. Yoshida. Bruce.
Silva. Sanchez. Fab. Eriksen. Boyd.
Aguero. Kane. Austin.
0.2 in bnk and 2 fts....
Plan:
(A) Fab + Eriksen >>> Hazard + Siggy/Mane
Or
(B) Clichy + Yoshida >>> Alderwierald + Lescott
Which one should carry out first..?? Worried about price rises....Please anyone....? 🙁
Hazard is nowhere near a rise.
Can you do Fab+Clichy ➡ Hazard+Naughton?
So I'll have 1FT going into the QPR / Villa DGW.
Foster
Terry Ivan Fonte Haidara Naughton
Haz Sanchez Mane Silva Boyd
Austin Kane Aguero
So, only have Austin. 0ITB.
Decent DGW villa options : Benteke (can't afford) Gil, Sinclair, N'Zogbia . Problem is I need to take a hit to free up cash
1) Fonte > Toby, Boyd > Sinclair
2) Same but with N'zogbia
3) Silva>Siggy, Kane>Benteke
4) Same as above but Sanchez not Silva
5) Make one transfer only?
Also two away games at clean sheet masters WBA and resurgent Villa don't inspire hope in Austin that much either....3 is the flair move. I like it. 🙂
How about Sanchez > Ozil & Kane > Benteke
for -4.
Foster news sucks. This game is so annoying.
Irritating ay. Might just have to stick with Eriksen this week, not ideal
And Aguero for that matter
Have 2 FT's with no urgent moves so was going to replace Foster with possibly Hamer or Flappy but might have a hopeful punt on Green with the DGW news.
Why not Guzan? better fixtures.
Hmmm, looked at previous history of fixtures and reckoned QPR just edge it but neither are overly great. Just a hopeful punt with WC up my sleeve for gw34.
I'm all over Forster. Fixtures pick up for them
If I didn't have Panti, I'd be all over Ospina
I'm looking at Guzan in preference to Green. But yes a DGWer seems the obvious fix.
Have Begovic too but he's away to Chelsea that week, annoyingly.
Yeah, got Krul - not much better.
link?
FFS tweet?
Check FFS tweets on home page Nabil.
Tbf it's not on the home page anymore.
Oh, what's happened there then?
It's just been replaced by newer tweets.
I actually need to check old tweets 😉
thanks ppl.
I haven't seen the tweet but he's red-flagged in FPL.
I know I'm very late but...
John Terry's miss 🙁The Yahoo tie-breakers are a complete joke 😡
ouch. Just realized that you had the same record with my opponent. What's the tie breaker?
The winning percentage in the last week of the season, then if that's a tie second last week etc
I played Les Bleus (probably the best team in the league) and he played Snake Juice (arguably the worst)
Great rules. I mean it's a H2H comp, we wouldn't want to base the tie-breakers on H2H or anything, would we? 🙄
We met once in the season and I won, not to mention if we played last week I would've won 5-3 but anywho...
Wow. That Sturridge assist stuck. You gotta be kidding me.
Lol at the FPL's explanation for the Sturridge assist. As if a defender from Swansea didn't touch the ball next and kick it back the other direction, sending it off Henderson: "Daniel Sturridge has been awarded the assist for the Liverpool goal as Jordan Henderson, the goal scorer, was the intended target for his pass." - This might take the all time award for most ridiculous fantasy points. Sorry, but it's almost lame enough to take the whole repute of the game into question.
Zasa time
Sorry I gotta throw this on you, but what would you do with this lot?
Foster Forster
McAuley Bertie Clyne Ivanovic PVA
Puncheon Downing Eriksen Sterling Hazard
Kun Kane Giroud
2 FT, 0.7Punchy > Phillips
Foster > Guzan / Green / Ospina / Myhill
Triple Soton - not sure i like thatCheers. I expect 18 points from my SOT defense this weekend. When it works, it works. I was thinking maybe Puncheon to Mahrez just to free up funds for the next week.
Price changes, March 18th, 2015
Risers - Henderson
Fallers - Krankjar Dunne Cissokho Cisse Gabriel(arsenal)*Kranjcar 😯
Boring
I thought it was Lucifer who fell not Gabriel?
Hendersons been good for you last few weeks in UFPL Balders.
ooh someone's keeping tabs!
Nah, just on the back of advice/conversation 3 weeks ago - he's had a great run since then.
Ah good memory, Captaining him on Monday night got me out of a hole this week after Aguero and Hazard flopped. I may have left him on the bench for his goal against City though 🙁
How are you getting on?Same, the armband saved my week.
Don't seem to be getting the big 80 and 90 scores that seemed easier earlier in the season. Hanging in there, about 360 overall or there abouts.
Henderson is one of those that fit nicely in the squad based rules of UFPL.You could still charge the top 100 from there I reckon.
G2G?
Panti
Clyne Pva Moreno
Mane(c) Eriksen(vc) Oscar Yaya
Aguero Costa Kane
Foster Lescott Duff WaltersCaptain flair. Cool
Think I'll be going Mane(c) too. Him or Kane. That's a punty midfield!
Yep differentials were needed
