Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    pissed that Rooney didn't get the goal, but oh well.

    Impressed with United's defence, considering i thougght we had little chance to keep a cleanie especially without De Gea.

    1. LMNO
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      romero looked a little shakey with the ball at his feet at first but ended up putting in a quality performance. good distribution too.

      united stll seem to lack bite in the final third

      1. The Suspended One

        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        A little shakey????

        Lvg must have had a coronary

        1. LMNO
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          did you notice how he didn't bat an eye lid when that goal went in. kind of wierd

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            He knew they were terrible

      2. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I completely disagree about the distribution also, never seen so much panic

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Well, United got lucky imo. Spurs looked the better team and deserved a goal.

      1. cogs
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        We did. Still room for improvement indeed but considering the doubts over United's leaky defence we did well

  2. mrtapio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    I'm starting to get panic! I have just 12 points! how is that even possible?!
    I mean, there's one dude with 72 points after today. He must be some kind of genius! He had 2m ITB like " I dont need to use all mye money, my team is awsome" !!
    Help me out, talk some sense to me, before I use the WC tonight and do some crazy s*it.

    Schmeichel (2pts)
    Cedric // Koscielny // Huth (1)
    Sterling // Wally (C) // Hazard (2) // Ritchie (2)
    Rooney (5) // Pelle // Benteke

      You're fine....

      You have your captain, there is always hope.

        Hope so! It would be nice if he saves me 🙂

    3. The Suspended One

      Morgan Huth and schmiecheal.?

      1. mrtapio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        No, it was Ward! My mistake

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Lolz

      2. mrtapio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Not Morgan

      3. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        He may have to change that. They play four at the back now, with schlupp pushed on

    4. LMNO
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      theres nothing wrong with your team. the first couple of weeks are quite unpredictable

      Chill.

    7. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      You have more than half your team to go including your captain. In wk 1. It's a 38 wk season.

    1. Mane Of Steel

      Same

  4. TheCurseOfRaheem
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    If only Kane had crossed it to Chadli...

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Eriksen looked good as well. Could have had a couple of goals.

      1. Mane Of Steel
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Having a flashback to that sublime chip pass Harry did to Eriksen

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      He could have done so twice!

      1. Mane Of Steel
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Coulda woulda shoulda... SHOULDA

  5. RoysCallerAnne

    Lickin ma lips looking forward to my Walcott, Ozil, Ramsey 3some tomoro! 🙂

    1. Mane Of Steel

      10 years, 10 months ago

      Thats a damn good threesome

    2. Clam. ☘️
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      *Cue 1-0 West Ham win due to Walcott OG*

      For your sake I hope that does not happen

  6. UptheBlues
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    How did Cabaye look? was he the best from the palace mids?

    1. Mane Of Steel
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Look at his score... Not much more to add

  7. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Memphis Depay? What does he do? He just stands around, he isn't allowed to do anything. Man United are playing with 10 men

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      He is a class WINGER

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Should be playing out wide where he's trained to play.

      We have a winger at CAM and a CAM out on the right wing... :/

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        filosofee

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Aye, I will fall out with him...

      2. Ruth_NZ
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Filoshofee...

        But seriously, doesn't LVG get Mata? The guy is a great #10 and LVG refuses to play him there.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Rooney is too slow and Mata is too slow. Surely its not wise to have them as a 10 and 9 together.

          1. Somalion
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            Would prefer a slow but creative Mata to a Memphis who seems way out of his comfort zone. I think pace on the wings is more important though that's just my own thinking.

            1. Ruth_NZ
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              Yes. Pace on the wings, craft in the centre. United aren't a "ball over the top" team, never were.

          2. Nabs Kebabs
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            surely its not wise to put him on a wing then 😉

        2. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          I'm with you. United in general don't get it, something about them and CAM doesn't click.

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Should play in the "Ronaldo Position" out left and cut in. Not in the hole. Classic LVG and now he´s bringing in Pedro as well. So Memphis probably stuck.

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Could wind up

        Roo

        Memphis Mata Pedro

        Which would be much better imo.

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Agreed.

          1. Somalion
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            At least I hope...

            Could wind up

            Pedro

            Roo. Memphis Mata

            with LVG at the helm.

    4. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I have him and its is worrying. It was painful to watch him today.

    5. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      United are very static in attack. A real problem

  8. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Any reason why ML have not been updated until now?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Which league?

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        My MLs all show "League standings will be updated after the next matches"

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Is your link correct?

          1. Les Bleus
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            Probably not but I have updated it now.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 17 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              Leagues get updated in order. The rest have high numbers.

              1. Les Bleus
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 10 months ago

                What do you mean in order?

                  1. Les Bleus
                    • 14 Years
                    10 years, 10 months ago

                    Ahh ok I see. That's new this year? I seem to remember that they all got updated right away.

        2. Gashead9
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Some of mine still have not updated but others have

  9. Ayew Serious
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    So 12 from 5
    With some big hitters and Wall(C)ott to come

    Still struggling to find positives

    1. Mane Of Steel
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Have faith in your captain

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I have Mane 2

        1. Mane Of Steel
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          😀

    2. reason17
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Who are the big hitters?

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Walcott obviously
        Mane
        Kosc (Im serious)

        1. reason17
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          I have 15 from 6 with the following remaining: Cazorla, Mertesacker, Cedric, Sterling and Henderson.

          let's just hope Arsenal keep a clean sheet!

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      End of GW ftw

  10. Diva
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    I only have 11 points so far and I have a strange sense of calm. It's like this week is so bad for most people it's not actually a problem.

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      12

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I agree. When it is awful for most it isn't a problem when it seems it is just you it is more so.

      1. Diva
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Yes, plus I still like the look of my team, even when four have a 2 next to their name and the fifth has a mighty 3.

    3. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I think, as soon as the deadline went by I felt an immense release of pressure. It might just be that. After a month of fretting over your team - you're done.

      1. Diva
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        It could well be that.

      2. Reedy
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I find wildcards stressful too. It's silly what this game does to you

      3. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I agree, no more mindless tinkering around. Now you can start taking shape properly.

    4. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Exactly. Loads of Saturdays turn out like this. The big teams/ big FPL players often play on Sunday. And often deliver.
      Most of us been playing this stupid game for a long time. No need to panic. Sense of calm posts, as you mention, is just as important as the gravless point check posts.

      1. Reedy
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Yes and I think this is as good a time to have a bad week as any. Ranks fluctuate wildly for a while...it'll start to settle down around GW4. We'll have some idea how we're really doing then maybe.

      2. Diva
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Happy to be of service! 🙂

    5. Whirl
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah, I started really well last year and then spent the next 2 months going backwards which is much more frustrating.

      1. Diva
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Good point. If you're having a bad week, just put on some Yazz - The only way is up!

    6. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Thats the way. Keep calm and carry on.

  11. TheCurseOfRaheem
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone got a worse set of pre-deadlines moves?

    Deeney (4) > Wilson (2)
    Azpili (6) > Huth (1)
    Mahrez (15) > Chadli (2)
    Rooney C (10) > Hazard C (4)

  12. reason17
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Could you rate my team out of 10 please. I feel it is about a 8?

    Pantilimon - Hennesy
    Mertesacker - Cedric - Francis - Bassong - Huth
    Hazard - Cazorla - Sterling - Henderson - Wanyama
    Rooney - Kane - Sakho

    1. Mane Of Steel
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Wait for a RMT until after this GW is complete.

    2. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Not after today it's not. But not bad long-term.

  13. Clam. ☘️
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Hard to tell if WBA assets warrant investment during difficult or easy fixtures.. I feel like they could easily concede to the smaller teams while keeping CS against the bigger teams

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I think Ricky Lambert could be a good investment if they had the right fixtures.

      1. Clam. ☘️
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Hmm I'm not sure if he has the fitness to last the season. How much is he? 6.0?

      2. Captain Peacock
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        They've been linked with Rondon who would put Lambert on the bench.

  14. Paganoi
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Thank God the tinkering and agonizing is over for a bit. Now I can finally get off FPL and FFS long enough to finish Peaky Blinders season 1.

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      No WC this week then?

      1. Paganoi
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Lol. Nah. I'm set. If I even make a trade it'll either be Wilson > Someone or Rooney > Kun.

    2. Clam. ☘️
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Great series. Really enjoyed it.

    3. LMNO

    People mention price rises before GW finished plus I see a few transfers out for people who have not even played yet (WCs being played?). No real site can predict transfer falls/rises, although personally I would look more at the falls than the rises, 0.2 to rise 0.1, 0.1 to 0.1 fall

  20. reason17
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Help me out please guys. I know this is no reason to panic but my team has many faults and I am considering using a wild card. I only got 15 with 6 players, Only Henderson, cazorla, Sterling, Mertesacker and Cedric remain. What do I need to do to fix this team? Is a wildcard needed?

    Pantilimon - Hennesy
    Mertesacker - Cedric - Francis - Huth - (Bassong)
    Hazard (C) - Cazorla - Sterling - Henderson -( Wanyama)
    Rooney - Kane - (Sakho)

    Sunderlands defence is awful ruling pantilimon out.

    Francis and Bassong didn't play well (now i am considering dropping them). But I don't know whether it was a one off (particularly for Francis who seems promising)

    Kane went from being my starlet to someone who has lost his sharpness in a few hours.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      For what it's worth, Francis played (unless you mean Mings?).

      Just keep calm.

      1. reason17
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I am reffering to Francis. He didn't seem to play particularly well and bournemouth didn't seem particularly solid at the back (regardless of the fact that they conceded one headed goal). Should I make changes to the defence/goalkeeper? more premium players?

        1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          So much panic... Francis played ok I thought. Very attacking. He'll score points this season.
          Remember, it's a promoted team. Not sure how many CS they'll get.

          We only have 100m to start. Of course you will be lacking premiums in certain positions.
          Stay calm dear 🙂 Like I said your team looks strong. If you save a transfer your position will be even stronger come GW3

            I was thinking that Hazard + Sterling for Mcity vs Chelsea is a bit much?

      Nice looking team, so I certainly wouldn't use a wildcard. At some point maybe change up the goalkeepers, but I would not say it is critical. And if I had Kane, I would captain him next week.

      1. reason17
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        The defence and goalkeepers look weak don;t you think?
        I am planning to rotate (tranfer) Panti with Fabianski depending on form and fixtures.
        What about rooney?

        1. osceola31909
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Defense is fine. You have Mert and Cedric. I wouldn't waste any transfers on that, and I certainly wouldn't wildcard. Fabianski is a good idea. I have Rooney and am building up money to change him into Aguero. But that was always my plan. If you are planning on getting Aguero, I would put the priority on that as opposed to worrying about the goalkeeper. That can wait.

          1. reason17
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            For me I was thinking Hazard -> Fabregas/ best performing midfielder beneath 9.5

            If rooney is performing well i was thinking E Hazard -> 8.0 and Kane -> Aguero
            If not, Hazard -> 9.0 (fabregas?) and rooney to aguero.

            Then again, it is Hazard 😛

        Do you not feel that my defence+ GK seems week in general?

        Pantilimon - Hennesy
        Mertesacker - Cedric - Francis - Huth - (Bassong)

        Do you think I need premiums? I am being told not to panic but I just need to be put at ease regarding the defence. or atleast bbe told what i need to do so i can construct a reasonable plan to do it 😀

        Thank you 🙂

            1. Cheeseoid
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              Well I have Cedric, Huth and Mings(basically the same as Francis but didn't play) Norwich didn't appeal to me but it has only been 1 game so who knows? You have Mertesacker where have Lescott which is a win to you.

        2. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Now I'm guessing that you will rotate your 3 cheap defenders and always play Mertesacker and Cedric. Rotation can work out very well and I'd suggest Francis was a little unlucky not to get a clean sheet. Pantilimon is all about the save points and Dick will sort the defence out soon enough.

          1. reason17
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            The plan is to rotate the three of them to cover 1-2 positions depending on the fixtures of my attackers i.e. I left out sakho and wanyama this G.W. but more often than not it will be 3 of them vying for one position.

            So you believe Francis, Bassong and Huth don't need replacing (given the current circumstances)?

    5. WestHam14
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      My advice would be to downgrade Henderson, take out Bassong, and leave Panti for the time being. With that you should have 11.5M for a MID + DEF. I would go get someone like Cabaye and Jenkinson, hope this helps. This is what I would do aha!

    6. Dougal McGuire
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      No need to WC that. One bad week is far from a reason to panic. Everyone had a bad week

      1. reason17
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        But take a look at the defence it is awful? Do the 4.5's need to be replaced with otehr 4.5's/premiums?

        Just a bit worried that I picked the wrong defenders

        1. WestHam14
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Bassong and Francis will keep barely any CS just saying. Try to get some 5.0M in, but don't bother right now. Maybe get Jenks or Ogbonna in with your FT

        2. Dougal McGuire
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          It can be fixed one transfer a week just fine. WCs are for *big* problems. You have three good defenders after all. Really not so bad.

        3. Ruth_NZ
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          OK, I'll give you an honest response seeing this is going on and on. But it will be my opinion only and may be no better than yours.

          1. The GKs are a poor pair, there are better 5.0 options than Pantilimon (Stekelenburg, Fabianski) and Hennessey is not the preferred Palace GK. For the same price you could have a good rotation like Myhill/Schmeichel or Ruddy/Butland.
          2. Mertesacker is a poor pick, either find the 0.5 for Koscielny (who will deliver more than value for that in all likelihood) or take a 5.5 from elsewhere such as Darmian/Shaw.
          3. Bournemouth defenders should be a complete "no go" area, that team will leak goals. They are for me anyhow. You need a defender that will rotate well with Huth such as Wollscheid or Lescott.
          4. You have the wrong Norwich 4.5, Martin is nailed and has a better goalscoring record than Bassong.
          5. In addition I think your team structure is poor, too much spent on the midfield and not the best player selections made either.
          6. Because of this you also have missed the "sweet spot" at 5.5 midfielder where there are a number of good options you could use FTs to rotate according to fixtures from time to time.
          7. Absence of a Southampton attacker (Mane/Pelle) looks ill-advised to me considering their good fixtures.

          Finally, I repeat... these are my opinions and yours may be as good or better than mine. You have to make your own decisions.

    All Out Attack chip looks a tricky one to negotiate. If we get 3 DGWs, maybe use it on the least attractive one. But that will be hard to know.
    Glad I didn't waste it this week.
    Always looked a bad idea. Use all 3 chips with some TV built up.

      • 14 Years

      I don't think there will ever be an ideal time to play that chip. For me it will be completely un planned and opportunistic. I'll just 'know' when to play it.

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        GW 38. Easy decision

    3. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I already played it.

      Seeing the lack of clean sheets it looks a good decision thus far. But I estimate its value at only 2-4 points anyway so I was glad to use it before my 4-3-3 with 2 x 4.5 mids make it pointless.

      Saving it for a DGW makes little sense, defenders get DGWs too. In fact even the Bench Bonus will be very tricky to use in a DGW.

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah maybe. Perhaps best kept for a defensive injury crisis in your team as I said above. Surely worth 4 points at least with the transfer saved.

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah that's the other option I considered. But as I will be 4-3-3 with good defenders (3 premiums and a rotation pair) I can't see me needing it for that purpose.

          If you have a cheap defence with some risky picks that could get dropped, however, that might be the best use for it.

    Mahrez to Lens just because I had an extra 1m and didn't know where to spend it. Inspiring transfer that was a few hours before deadline
