Our usual post-Gameweek article for members arrives this evening as we delve deeper into the data for the first round of fixtures. Leicester’s two-goal hero, Man City and Southampton’s chief creators, Swansea’s improved goal threat and an eye-catching cameo from Arsenal’s Chilean all come under analysis.
who would you bench out of mahrez, milner or sterling this week?
thoughts appreciated coz it's doing my nut in.....so much that i'm considering the all out attack chip!
Probably Mahrez
sterling, he needs 5 chances to score once and Chelsea wont give up that many
front 8 being mahrez, milner, sterling, cazorla and payet in mid.
forward line of tekkers pelle and rooney
I don't think we've seen enough in the GW1 to make any clear and competent decisions. Tempted to stick and save a FT. What do you reckon?
Ruddy
Huth, Kosc, Coates
Sinclair, Hazard, Ozil, Mahrez, Chadli
Rooney, Aguero
SUBS: Butland, Wilson, Cedric, WardI've seen enough and will do Hazard -> Payet
Radical!
That's bold. Good luck with that. I will now captain Haz. 😉
Lol. Just seen Paulo Wanchop knocking sh1t out of a little white man who pushed him. Hilarious.
Obviously racist.
White man is relevant?
He's also resigned.
did you even see the video?
lol the little white man
Well I too saw that video. The man was not white, he is Hispanic and he won the scuffle.
You are wrong on every level.
Thank the Lord for keeping 0.5 in the bank so you don't have to worry about rises and falls!
This is the only thing I kind of regret not doing. Oh well, I'm thinking of saving FT anyway so I couldn't care less. 😛
A cool 3.5 earning interest in my account - it does earn interest doesn't it!
Yup... that'll be 2.9 allowing for deflation 😉
No.
0.5% p.a.
That's good I think.
That's what George (No11) & Mark C tell us anyway.
I wish I had kept about 30m in the bank - I might have fielded the best scoring GW1 side if so! 😀
Lol, how true!
Show off! 😛
Ah!_One of those secret articles.
illuminatti'sI'm a member but didn't read it.. You can have my read if you like 😉
Don't let him read the secret message.
There is hope. ty
OMG my favorite article is here!
Where? there on the stair?
A little article with numbers in,
Where Paul declares...No. Under the chair.
😆 to both of you!
I love that song from my youth 🙂
Great pic of Alexis there...
"Don't look now but I'm going to troll you all"I think it's more "Why did I put Walcott in my FPL team"
Lol yea 🙂
"But Wenger said to me that he had just signed a new contract"
This isn't that bad a wc team is it?
Adrian
Darmian Toby Cedric
Sanchez Payet Chadli Mane Ayew
Tekkers Kun
McCarthy Gomez Ighalo OxfordYep, it is
Plz tell me where I went wrong other than no Haz.
Whts the point of having Gomez if u r not playing him against Bournemouth?
He is in for cover, Moreno could start on mon. Who would you bench then?
I'm looking to get Aguero in by GW3/4 (depending on Rooney's performance vs Villa.
Making a transfer in FPL theory is getting in someone who you think will score more points than the one you're getting out at least in the near future. That way, I prefer Ayew to Walcott for the next few as Walcott's starts are forever going to be in doubt and besides I would need to downgrade Walcott anyway to get Aguero
What do I do here? :/Get Ayew. Or. Save FT.
Get Ayew, Great fixtures and quite likely to rise in value before next week.
This^
Save, then use the two transfers to get aguero next gw
Do it... I am
Bed time, see you tomorrow for some price change hysteria at 07:00!
*7:40
Your thoughts on this?
Chadli -> Cabaye
Rooney -> Costa
I really don't know what to do, tempted to save the FT, but I'd hate to lose out on early price rises.Keep Roo and chad
Save FTCosta won't rise this week and it looks like Cabaye might survive until the gameweek deadline without a price rise too.
Actually, it might be close with Cabaye tomorrow morning.
Cheers lads, I feel that's for the best as well.
A. Fabregas > Ayew
B. Save FTA
I did Fab > Ayew
I'm going to captain Ayew as welllol
Haha your funny too
A for me.
Walcott to Payet - yay or nay?
nay
What's the feeling that he'll start against Palace?
i think he will but who knows
Walcott probably has a higher veiling but lower floor.
With the whole racism events with Vardy, could he potentially not start on Saturday?
Football is big biz. What do you think?
it is big biz, I presume he will yes. Do you?
I really want to get Mane instead of Hazard. Would maybe even captain him.
But because of price rise, I probably couldn't get Aguero and Gomis. Would have to do Sterling to Yaya, but Yaya will probably rise and that means no Gomis for me.
Should I still get Mane?Or I could take a hit and get both Mane and Gomis now and be relaxed. Kun probably won't rise until next GW.
Damn, roger that.
Definitely that
U had time to write this, but no to tell me what I want to know. 😛
What do you want to know? Whether or not to get Mane? Of course, get Mane. Look at the fixtures, mate!
Gomis and Aguero won't go up unless they bag goals next week. Rest assured.
But Yaya will. I'll have to downgrade Sterling to Yaya to get Gomis.
Why the obsession with Gomis? And if you want him so bad, take the hit. Why not?
He will have great season.
I'm giving Mane the armband this week, but it's more of a punt. I would have waited a week, and then bought him for Watford(A) and Norwich(H) if he does well against Everton
I have good feeling about him. Would consider to give him armband also. Galloway is young and unexperienced LB, he could cause him a lot of problems.
Gomis or Sakho?
Gomis. Especially is Sakho is in, erm, jail.
Especially *IF. THAT'S V V IMPORTANT.
Bailed... and reported 😉
haha dammit! Missed that news actually, thanks mate. Have him as VC!
Same 🙂
Who's the armband on?
Sakho purely on fixtures
Sakho in jail yet?
Need to feel good about dropping him at 1130 last Saturday morning and sooner prison than wishing injury on players
If you are going to drop him, I'd advise Fri night.
Allegedly Pogba will be a chelsea player by the weekend.
Source?
SKy
Really? Is it on the website? Sky Sources have been having a fairly accurate window.
Lies I checked
I would've checked the site myself if I really believe this haha. So this Pogba to Chelsea things is totally baseless, borderline trolling, right?
Yup.
Na. Already agreed terms with Barca.
Who would you captain this week from this front 6?
Hazard Walcott mane
Rooney pelle sakhoI'm worried that you have a front 6, but I'd go Rooney
I have five of those and I'm captaining Rooney with Sakho vice captain.
Same
Has the time changed for price changes this season?
When was it last season? 1/2am?
Yes. About 4.5 hours later. 7pm UK
Doh *am
Cheers, caught me off-guard
Decisions Decisions
Bench 1 DF and 1 MD/FW for this GW only. My head is melted.
DF - Cedric Kosc Ivan Gomez
MD/FW - Sterling Defoe Ibe MahrezKosc and Ibe. Defender is a very tough one.
Stop Eoin mate, having options is always nice but it hurts the brain 🙂 .
Ivan and Mahrez?
Reply fail
Decent team???
Cech
Jenkinson / Ivanovic / Targett
Payet / Ayew / Cazorla / Sterling
Rooney / Benteke (c) / VardyYep. Except Vardy. Was there some dodgy news about him today? Could be totally mistaken.
Just a race related thing. Should be fine.
Rate out of 10 plz guys and any opinions?
Adrian
Cedric Toby Gomez
Sanchez Payet Chadli Mane Ayew
Tekkers Aguero
McCarthy Kolarov Ighalo Oxford
You will have problems with your team, 4 of your players are rotation risks, good luck with that.
+ you have McCarthy.
What do you mean? He is keeper a palace.
Ok not Kolarov Darmian, Gomez will get lots of games and Yeh Ighalo and Oxford bench fodder, but will still chip in a little.
Price changes are likely to be:
Fallers: Kozak, Remy, Bamford
Risers: No one. Possibly Coutinho and Oxford
Already risen: Gomez and Mahrez
Already fallen: De Gea.Darmian is 5,6 and Ulloa 5,9.
Nice one.
Ulloa's down too. You basing this on Fiso data?
Where do you find this? Not sure of accuracy of any of what I've been checking as they're wildly different (to be expected early season)
I've been checking Fplstatistics and Fiso.
Fiso has a few rising. Really not sure which to trust. Fplstatistics had it covered last season but Fiso had year before.
To see who has already gone up / down, you can see on the official fpl website from the first page
I meant where is he finding the projection on risers / fallers - is there a site that has immediately hit the ground running or is it unreliable still?
Thanks for your comment anyway though.Believe they aren't yet reliable, http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk. Usually gets it right pretty quickly
Thanks. That's the one I've been looking at most as it was generally solid last season.
Glad to see most are looking in same places.
I use fabtasy football fix
Thanks. I'll check this too.
Who's the best mid to have for GW 2 and 3 only? I'm thinking maybe Depay or Ayew. Also Ayew could return a profit if I transfer him out for GW 4? (already have Sanchez payet mahrez)
Payet
Mane. One assist aided by ropey goalkeeping has not sold me on Payet
Anyone else looking to ship walcott tommorow night after deadline inorder to prevent that 0.1 drop ?
no, points win prizes
Considering it, but really only because I planned to drop him after the Palace game anyway.
Only problem is I'm not 100% sure who I'll bring in before the games....Tempted. Read the comments on the hot topic. Helped me make up my mind to not let that temptation prevail, though.
Yes because he was a short term option for me anyway and with Sanchez back and Wenger kind of confused i don't want a rotating 8.9M player.
No mate he deserves a crack off Palace and I wanna save my FT.
If he doesn't start he's my mid to downgrade in GW 3 to free up funds for Rooney --> AgueroI abandoned ship last night. He was a gamble and I was aware of it so first sign of non featuring meant I wasn't going to hold.
Ayew in to begin to stockpile the funds to make Rooney become Aguero was my move.
No sir
cheers guys.
Help needed.....Who to bench?
Butland Ruddy
Kosc Ivan Gomez Cedric Huth
Hazard Sterling Wally Ibe Mahrez
Defoe Rooney PelleAll of your mids
Cheers bud 🙁
Other than corners what was the roster for dead balls for Swansea at the weekend. ....Did Shelvey take any free kicks ?
Not sure... other than Montero going for goal direct from one of his corners!
Thought it was Shelvey, if I remember correctly?
Is Mane worth 1.0 over Tadic?
Yeah
Yep. More goal threat. Would weigh up what that extra 1.0 could do elsewhere in your team though.
Could have easily Aguero+Gomis and keep Sterling if I get Tadic. But I have good feeling about Mane (although I was heavily against him before season started, now there is some voice inside of my head saying he will do well).
Yes in my opinion. Only worry is how Europa League affects him, but yes he's worth the extra funds in my opinion
Then, is Payet better option because they are out of EL?
I'm not sure. I'd generally prefer Mane as he's almost a wide forward. But Payet might be a great pick.
Cheers
Mane should be able to outscore him over the season. Last year tadic was good but the massive explosion of a game where he had 34 goals and 12 assists helped a lot
But that damned EL. 🙁
In case I evaporate and don't get a chance to change my team for GW2, I'm not using a transfer and heading into the Gameweek with 0.0 in the bank and this:
Ruddy
Mertesacker - Azpilicueta - Coates
Mahrez - Sterling - Hazard - Walcott
Sakho (VC) - Rooney (C) - Pelle
Subs: Butland - Ritchie - Francis - Huth
Good to go?Yep
