Can't get over how bad Sunderland's back four is.
Actually, scrap that. The whole team is useless.
This.
van Aanholt would do better in a better team. He is pretty good when attacking.
I think he'd be better suited in a wingback system.
I don't think he'll ever be good enough defensively in a LB position.Even Dani Alves is as bad defensively, but his team keeps CS in around 70% of the matches.
For the first thing, he could totally play with a couple of decent CBs for a change.I'm pretty sure Alves is better than PVA.
Barca dominate the majority of the matches in that league.
Has Alves got 2 clean sheets vs Burnley in a single season?
Has PVA won La Liga 4 times, CDR 3 times and the Champions League twice? 😉
Probably, never trust Wikipedia 😉
As if a clean sheet against Newcastle would wipe out the memories of the 8 against Soton and the 4 against Villa before today.
People seem to be making a lot of this Arsenal run.
It's impressive but it's not as if they are under any pressure/have any end goal?
They were under immense pressure when the year began. Won 11 of the 12 since then
Also the fa cup victory at ot and the massive win ay city shows a change in approach
They are in the top four mission accomplished 😎
Exactly, as I said "Impressive"
But some seem to be seeing this as the forerunner to a new era of dominance. Looks the same old Arsenal to meIf that was the case they would have won it this year . Chelsea might not have won the title if they had decent competition .
You're like when the league title is resolved, the 19 teams should stop playing well because nobody cares.
A month ago it was highly competitive for 4th spot. I know it's not any more but their good run is a reason for this.
Will start losing and drop to 4th now.
If chelsea looses against arsenal, will suddenly be interesting again
If I go forward with Austin to Murray on my FT (totally probable), I would still be left with 10.
Krul
Alderweireld----Bertrand---Ivanovic
Hazard----Silva----Eriksen----Sigurdsson
Murray---Kane.
And a bench of Ospina, Sturridge, PVA, Lucas and *Naughton.
Is there anywhere you would take a hit? Or just play 10?

Bottomed last page....
Seen a few posts on last few threads about people swapping Arsenal players to Liverpool players to prepare for DGW (benching this week), general points from me:
1 They play FA cup next weekend and players could get injured
2 Gives other ML players info on who you will have for the DGW (assuming point 1 does not happen)
3 At least wait until Monday night if your not convinced by my auguments
Hope this helps 🙂The Kane sale has started.
Fire sale.............
Before a game against Newcastle in a week where several teams don't play. Excellent.
After my Murray disaster the the thing keeping me going is rival's -4 to sell Costa to Giroud
he now has
Giroud, Sanchez. Bellerin, Austin, O'Shea with blanks next week and is sitting on Zouma and Clchy who are 50:50 to playYour rival is no machine.
yet he's beating me by nearly 70
what is wrong with me
I know I think about things a lot, but I think this season I've taken the over-thinking too far and not acted on my instincts enoughI only ever go on instincts 😆
What are your instincts for next week. Mine is west ham will get hammered, they gave away a lot of chances today against a poor team
my instinct says the says the same
Sanchez to Silva and get a keeperYeah. Sanchez is doing ok, but after the blank it's chelsea
Only this season? 😉
🙁
Like I said, I often discuss a lot of things but I've usually always gone with whatever I felt was right. This season I have relied to heavily on stats and hearsay.
If I return to FPL next season I have vowed to always go with a gut feeling when I have one
Yep, going nowhere from my team. Games against teams with nothing to play for are gold at this time in the season.
I can imagine newcastle giving him space in the middle
They lost to Sunderland last week, anything is possible.
*Eriksen
Not sure if it's rational or not :3
I know for sure Eriksen deserves the boot
Who to score more points tomorrow?
Aguero or Rooney....
Ivan or Skrtel for dgw? dont need money and already have terry
Skrtel for that pool defensive coverage
Skirt
I think for those of us on wc the question is how much City attack is needed (non wcers can answer too 😛 )
a) Silva and Kun
b) Just Silva
c) Just Kun
d) NoneNot getting Yaya ?
not on wc no. Nothing to suggest he's worth 10.7 this season
There are no great options at the min . I might keep Sanchez and keep him and use the 2.3 I have in the bank to upgrade Mahrez . I probably have alot of t.v tied up in Sanchez and I want a decent t.v next week when I wildcard
E) Silva, Kun and The King
No room at the inn for Lord Aleks
I think I'm going with c. Silva to make way for Fabregas.
I am looking at either Silva to make way for Coutinho with Ramsey on the bench or Kun to make way for Sturridge with Giroud on the bench (or keep both)
I'm also thinking Kun -> Sturridge aswell and having no Man City
infinintely possible but they play QPR GW36, no City that week would scare me
But it could be argued that that week you get Kun or Silva in for Sturridge or a Pool mid as they play Chelsea
Depends on how MC perform tomorrow, poor form recently
b,
did you see my reply?
Best Taylor (£4.8) replacement? Got Rose, Terry, PvA and Bellerin, with £0.2 ITB.
GW33:
Heaton
Schlupp Dawson Bertrand Clyne Ivanovic
Silva Hazard Eriksen
Aguero Kane
(Pantilimon) Giroud Henderson Philips
Him: Austin + Silva + Henderson
Me: Terry + 25
I should have this, right?
Defo.
Yh
All aboard the Pelle bandwagon!
*tumbleweed*
harsh 🙂
He's been unlucky these past couple of weeks, only beaten by some world class saves. I think his form is pretty good really in open play.
Best Leicester defender?
Need Naughton outSchlupp?
slurpee?
Save FT for DGW players unless you have 2FT or WC
Need to get rid of Naughton to play 11 next week
what's the key to amassing high team value in fantasy football?
are there any strategies or tactics that people follow?
all I can think of is following who is hyped and making well timed transfers, watching things like fplstatistics.fplstatistics and picking the template before anyone else
be one of the "early adopters" makes sense.
this will be my challenge to myself next year: to build team value.
Yes, take countless hits and kiss contention in any mini-leagues goodbye.
Simples!great advice.. except I wouldn't want to take countless hits to achieve good team value.
#obvioussarcasm
#obviousirony
That's about it yeah. And not selling people who have gained in value.
With changes in price this year its been harder to gain TV, usually at this time of the season I make up ground with a high TV value but same as most this season TV wise
I was on 117 last year by the end...
Yeah true.
Sounds straight forward enough. This will be my challenge to myself next year.
I'm only worth about 102.2 now.
Make early transfers to catch price rises in the first half of the season. Always a tiny risk of an injury but that was my tactic this year and I didn't get a midweek injury once.
I'm always scared of doing this but I can see how it would create a differential .. and help an over thinker like me!
Good advice, thanks!Although sometime it comes with risk, you may have picked Giroud this week instead of Murray as you couldn't afford Giroud, agree with innsie make early transfers first half of season and slow down after Jan WC
Matt Philips -> Cambiasso?
Ibe 😎
meh, if you have to.
I always try to find some good in most teams when it's due...even if the picks don't deliver the pts.
However.
Spurs have turned into a shambles, I've no idea what the hell has happened. Kane and Benteke are quite similar players...good big target men in the true CF style of yesteryear. Villa look like they have done o good job tactically feeding the big fella whilst Spurs seem to have no game plan at all...almost hit and hope...just rubbish really.I've always felt Poch is just a poor man's AVB (albeit probably with better people skills). Was never THAT impressed with him at Saints
I couldn't see any plan or any sort of team work at all today..nothing...
The Europa League is more of a threat than a reward, particularly for a team that just went down that road. Spurs are on holidays.
Agreed, no motivation what so ever. People who think Kane's potential golden boot is a motivation are deluded.
They don't even fit together as a team
CPL have been playing with Zaha, Bolasie, Puncheon and Murray..all playing at speed on the break and all playing the same style.
Arsenal have been doing their usual great short passing game.
Villa have been getting the very early ball in to Benteke and giving him plenty of space.
blah blah blah
What is Spurs plan supposed to be ?Pass it around a lot and hope something happens. Its all at such a slow tempo though that its all very predictable. Short passing game works when its a much higher tempo actively stretching defences.
The last two Spurs games is the worst I have seen them for a while. But I honestly believe they have overachieved this season. The coach is new and almost every player is "new" or very young. Poch needs to sort out the defense that should be his first priority this summer and get a second striker.
Their attacking midfield needs a lift too I think. Chadlii, Townsend and Lamela are all very meh
I like Chadli, but agree with Lamela and Townsend. Extreamly inconsistent and light weight.
And Mason is not good enough to start yet.
Yeah he's alright and certainly deserves to be in the squad. Just not enough match winners in there, only average to decent players.
Agreed. If they want to get inside the top four the need to buy big name players. Chelsea buy Fab and Costa, Arsenal Ozil and Sanchez. Spurs buy Lamela, Chadli and Stambouli. Big difference. Give the cred for playing their own youngsters though.
Without Kanes break through God knows where they eould have been.
Nowhere...
Which move is better?
A) Cresswell(mci) ➡ Schlupp(SWA) - this would mean I play Eriksen and bench Moses
B) Eriksen(new) ➡ Bolasie(WBA) - this would mean that I have to play Dawson (with Myhill) and bench CresswellA
T'was what I was leaning towards. Cheers. I can just do Eriksen to Coutinho the week after.
That's a good looking transfer. Eriksen has been a terrible buy 🙁
I had him for his two double digit hauls a while back but 2 assists in the last 9 just is not good enough.
A
My thanks.
A: Go without a GK next Gameweek to save FT for the DGW
B: Use FT to do Foster ---> K DavisWould you have a keeper back then for GW 34 without spending a transfer on one?
If no, then do B.B
This is the big question (or one of them). Rank these three Liverpool mids as DGW options...
A. Coutinho
B. Henderson
C. Sterling.
As you have. Abc
As you have them.
What the others said.
Reverse order
You are on your own here. Not much love for Sterling here!
He's been poor lately at wing back. Fancy he'll be back in the points again when further forward.
Have already Coutinho.
But if i didn't would be after Hendo Jordanas you are.
Southampton really in for a shot at 4th if UTD win tomorrow.
City looking crap.
Southampton just cruising along with no pressure...soton would have a better chance if city won tomorrow, followed by a united defeat to chelsea
City have a fairly easy run in. Uniteda the exact oppositethis
Fair. I just want city vs Southampton to be for 4th place on last day of the season.
people have been saying that about our fixtures for weeks and we've turned over Pool and Spurs
if we turn over City tomorrow I'd say we're very much on course for a top 4 finish.
The crucial thing will be our GW33 and 37 results
I can see us turning over WBA, Palace and Hull, and probably even Everton tbhI think utd will come 3rd.
That doesnt make the fixtures any easier than citys though. City have no chance of finshing outaide top 4 i reckon. With united, sure they have improved, but youre more liekpy to drop points against the tougher teams than the easier ones
Our record v the top 5 this season is the best in the league
also City have to play Villa and QPR, looks easy on paper but they're fighting for their lives.
Mignolet / Hamer
Rose / Taylor / PvA / Terry / Bellerin
Silva / Hazard / Ki / Mata / Henderson
Kane / Remy / Aguero
Best Taylor replacement, Schlupp or Toby?Toby since you have no other Saints defenders.
Yeah, I was only thinking Schlupp for DGW really.
PLay 10 next week or take a hit for a defender(any price)?
Tories planning to cut inheritance tax now! Another policy aimed at pleasing their chums
Cameron and his ridiculous "difficult choices" rhetoric - difficult except if you're in the millionaires club with him and his cronies.
No wonder 100 of his millionaire chums signed that letter that the Tories wrote for them!Indeed...More than thirty of them were Tory donors btw...
No surprise there.
The biggest target for their cuts seems to be the disabled - probably because (a) they don't tend to vote and (b) they don't really have a voice to complain. Disgusting.
Inheritance tax should be cut. It's a ridiculous idea.
Tax at source...paye and NI
Tax at purchase... Vat and other taxes...
Tax on sale... Capital gains etc...
Tax on death... Inheritance.
Just a headline grabberI know how tax works.
Phillips > Bolasie
Points chasing or decent move?best keeper for next GW only
money no objectHart
Hart.
Howard
Hart
cheers guys exactly as I thought, Hart or Howard
would this be daft for -4
Panti, Kos and Sanchez to Hart, Coleman and Silva?
0.1 off BainesI like it.
Who would you be playing if you didn't get Coleman?My back 3 as it stands
Terry(MNU) Lescott (cpl) Toby (stk)I'd leave it. Don't think Coleman's worth a hit.
I wonder if Pearson will use the 3-4-3 system for the next few games. Probably not, but if he does, Schlupp could be a decent buy.
It's all about Vardy.
Well done Innsie, truly paid off
Benched him this week but that was always the plan, so I'm not too upset about it. The next 2 weeks are the ones where I need him to produce.
No room for him at the inn.
Did you buy him? 🙂
Sure did.
Nugent *
Hope so. Perfect timing for Wasilewski to come back in from my point of view...
Going to bring in Schlupp and Vardy for the next 2 GW's
Anyone else done Mane---Bolasie
Might do Sanchez>Bolasie then Lucas>Sterling the following week
No.
OMG Justin Rose
When? And Justin who? Price rises aren't for another couple hours
Didn't even know Cresswell was one free kicks. Beat Bego on his near side.
What a hit. 😎
