We delve into the members data this evening after the Gameweek came to its conclusion last night. Stoke, Southampton and Watford’s forwards all come under analysis, whilst Sergio Aguero and Alexis Sanchez make a strong claim for immediate investment on the back of their weekend showings.
WC
Romero (McCarthy)
Williams Komp Shaw (Oxford, Richards)
Silva Sanchez Depay Mahrez (Hoolahan)
Gomis Aguerooo Deeney
What you guys think of that?
I think Romero might be dropped against Newcastle...He was bad against Brugge...De Gea might start...as it is no point doubling up in United's defense...
The team looks great! Don't like the City Double Up as well...Silva to Coutinho in my opinion.
This.. Romero is soon going to bench...
I wouldnt have Deeney anywhere near a WC team to be honest
maybe Deeney>Ighalo/Jerome and upgrade Williams.
Good looking team mate!
Richards to Morgan?
not on wc, but if i was
McCarthy
Kolarov * Shaw * Francis
Sanchez * Silva * Ozil * Depay * Mahrez
Aguero * Sakho
Bench: 4.0, Ighalo, Huth, Targett
3-5-2 is definitely the way to goYour keeper, Kolorov, Targett and maybe Ighalo wont be nailed. Too many not nailed.
Best mid- 5.5mil range?
potential sub rotation
On current form - Mahrez (5.7), Albrighton (5.1) or Wes Hoolahan (5.0).
I think those are the current prices, may have shifted.
Shelvey too?
@Doosra
Who's the best FPL option out of Jenkinson, Reid and Ogbonna?
Reid. If he can hold his place.
Cheers.
Depay punt means a sacrifice on an attacker from one of SOT, WHM and SWA. Who would you sacrifice?
Swansea's fixtures do not look that great but you definitely want one of them vs. Sunderland. Then they have United at home and Watford away.
Sakho has a seemingly tight BOU at home and the goes to LIV and then there are some decent fixtures.
Southampton has a great next three fixtures. I am sold on Pelle for these three.
So have to choose between WHM and SWA if i am sold on Depay that is. Definitely want a one week punt on him. Looks rather exciting.
Butland Mccarthy
Kolarov + 4.5 x 4
Silva Sanchez Memphis Mahrez 4.5
Kun Pelle Gomis
If i go Sakho instead of Gomis, i have a 0.5 in the bank for a Pelle upgrade later.
Just looking at permutations. You also tend to look at team order and attacking ability wise, it is United followed by SWA and SOT at the same level followed by WHM.
There is also the case for Diouf and Stoke but after 3 weeks starting LEI seems the ideal time to decide between Diouf and their midfield assets.
But SOT definitely have the next three fixtures that are great.
Depay does mean sacrificing another 5.0 defender and going a 4.0 keeper instead of a Schmeichel. The uncertainty with Gomez for Liverpool also creates the 5.0 defender problem which did not exist otherwise.
There is a leftfield choice too with going on Ayew and keeping Vardy as striker. That saves you a little bit of money. Safe option i guess is to let go of Pelle and maintain a more balanced team but the next three for SOT look too tasty and i rate their attack. Personally leaning towards leaving Sakho out but that means gambling on Gomez.
Anyone just willing to discuss wildcards and these permutations?
swings and roundabouts, personally I'm without Swansea because I started with West Ham and Southampton.
You are that convinced on Memphis aye?
yep, put a pre-season bet on him for Young Player of the Year, I'm invested in this 😎
I would go for Gomez and Gomis. While Gomis is more expensive than Sakho or Diouf, you can take advantage of Sunderland and then downgrade to one or the other if they impress. In terms of defence, Rodgers won't unsettle the team that has got him CSs, so Gomez is worth a punt. My main worry would be the away fixtures. They're horrible for Liverpool.
You have strong points. Thanks for this.
Is that what were you trying to say?
A) Gomis + Gomez
B) Sakho + 5.0 defender
Payet/Mane/Benteke
Drop one?
Have Cresswell, no other pool or saints cover. Payet surely then?
Bench tickers IMO. He does not look convincing and Liverpool don't look like they know how to accommodate his style of play.
A) Shaw and Ritchie
or 4.5 and Chadli?
Ta 🙂B

Hey look it's the newest Chelsea player
?? 😕
Haha.. Just got it. Not much help though
A lot of people are on the McCarthey wagon - isn't Speroni back any week now?
I believe so.
Yeah but a 4.0 Goalie you might as well have him.
4.0M goalie that could raise TV is not a bad shout
I guess if you're other keeper is a 5.0/5.5 then yes...but I worry for those with just a 4.5 and have no decent keeper rotation
I hoping McCarthy keeps the gloves, 8.5 rotation chance and if not then Butland has good enough fixtures to go by himself for a while.
After an awful start and 78 miserbale points on the board, it feels so good to have Aguero in my team as Captain for GW 3. Good riddens Wally & Shrek!
G2G?
Butalnd (Ruddy)
Ivan Kosc Cedric (Huth Gomez)
Hazard (vc) Sterling Montero Mahrez (Ibe)
Kun (c) Pelle Defoe
ANy suggestions on where to improve without using my WC?For various reasons and short term, I would not want the following players:
Ivan Cedric Haz Sterling Montero Defoe.
Only my opinion but I think an early WC was the way to go this year and the first time not cost related.Well Montero only came in with Kun as I had only 6.4m to spend on a mid.
Hazard & Sterling could yet explode but will monitor. Defoe is a punt and no-one around his price range has started better bar maybe Kone who has awful fixtures ahead.
Cedric and Ivan are the ones i'm currently looking to downgrade but willing to give them until the international break and if things still are not going well then it will be WC city for me 🙂
I would love to have "78 miserable points".
I would do nothing unless you can do it for free but consider getting rid of Sterling, Defoe and monitor Cedric.I'm thinking of keeping Sterling until the international break and maybe getting in Depay then. He could yet explode against Everton and Watford.
Defoe was always a cheap punt my thought process was to transfer to whichever cheap forward hit the ground running. No cheap FW has hit the ground running though 🙁 .
Am monitoring Cedric alright, he seems like a loose canon and So'ton look poor.
Why is Chadli not in more WC teams? #Differential
More exciting options 🙂
This!
Like who, Ayew? I would pick Chadli over Ayew any day of the week 😀
I have a soft spot for Ayew, scored my first goal of the season 😉
I have both.
All the cool kids do. (I'm not one of them)
While Chadli is on the team sheet with good fixtures and previous history he will remain a good long term option who missed getting cut on my WC.
He has like one shot and it went in. Sayin that he basically built his entire last season on those sort of stats.
Would you wildcard this lot?
Mignolet Ruddy
Mertesacker Cedric pva Huth Francis
Hazard Ozil Siggy Cabaye Sinclair
Aguero Wilson Benteke
(no free transfers or money in the bank)Yes, I would. Sorry.
Bit ropey, eh... My problem is that I can't settle on a cheap defence I like, and I wonder if that'll become more obvious in a couple of weeks.
There will be no such thing. It is a chimera.
Stick
Do it.
Decent keepers
Playing defenders
Mids not too bad
Strong attack
Def not.
stick, it's not in too bad shape.
I would not wildcard those. Looks quite decent actually, except PVA and maybe Cedric.
I wildcarded something similar just to get Sanchez and Silva before they accelerated away from me in price. And I got to tidy up my defence etc. No regrets.
You have Aguero for C so maybe hang on until international break to make most of price rises over two weeks?
Stick
Need to play two of these:
A) Muniesa(nor)
B) Cedric(wat)
C) Francis(whu)
D) Coates(SWA)Ouch
A & C
Rough but I'd play A and B. SUN an BOU will concede I reckon
B and D, most attacking and at home. Even if it is SUN
A and C
which prem teams are playing midweek?
SOU at home is the only one I can think of
Is 352 the new 343?
Yep :p So many options in midfield
yup
Last year, from what I can remember early on people went 3 5 2 until the dust settled.
This..
2-5-3 All Out Attack
Captain?
A) Augero
B) Silva
C) Mane
D) Ayew
E) Hazard
Getting a lot of mixed opinions so please say why if you can. Thanks guys!
B.
You have asked the sam Q 40 times now
This is true, still no clear answer though
Make your own decision. This is a competition.
This
(C) decisions are all about your own gut, not somebody elses. 😛Ok, thanks guys, advice taken on board
Polite as usual.....
A...

f) Gomis
Aguero
United defence essential if on WC?
Darmian
I dont like calling it essential, but i would defo get one in if i was using my wc. Dont see any better defence options really
Not with their fixtures
No way! Newcastle, Swansea, Liverpool and Soton next 4 GWs all have the potential to score. All very attacking teams
nah
A. Benteke
B. Ozil
C. CoutinhoC
B
None.
B but don't have any, Sanchez, Kun, Silva, Payet, Ayew, Gomis all better options

According to Bild, United have made an official offer for the Germany international valued at €85m last week. The German sports daily also claims that Bayern chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has been keeping it quiet on United's bid "He [Muller] is a player with no price tag," Rummenigge has said about the player. Meanwhile, Bayern sporting director Matthias Sammer has been quoted as saying: "Müller is in the media because of how well he plays, not because he's for sale."
Crazy if True...Utd are likely to sign a striker before the window.
Bayern will not sell Muller to Man Utd. Fact
In July, Bild reported that United had bid 100m € for Muller. I wouldnt trust these rumours any more than i trusted those. And anyhow, Bayern arent selling Muller
Crazy stuff
Time for Hazard, Ivanovic, Sakho, Mane, Rooney, Walcott and Koscielny to start doing well after so many have got rid of them on their wildcard.
All a strong possibility, except Walcott (as he's not on the pitch)
I don't think he'll be playing too much at the moment. Giroud offers another dimension to their attack with his physical holdup potential.
Six of them were in my opening squad. Explains why I've started so badly.
7 were in my squad til this week
Mane hazard will.... most probably
Still think Haz, Ivan, Mane and Kos will get some points in the next 2 GWs
I feel Hazard is in good form but the players around him not so much.
Mane for sure, not convinced on the others though...
A or B which 3 are a better combo?
A.Pelle, Gomis, Mahrez
B.Manè, Diouf, Vardy
(Very tempted by dioufs tasty fixtures)both good, would go A as Diouf might be playing on the wing and Gomis is on pens. But I prefer Mane to Pelle
I need help man 🙁
Cant decide on which 3 to have..A

Anybody got the figure for Wild Cards played last week?
i.e. The Saturday pre-11:30 figure?
Total Wild Cards played: 117,103I guessed 80-120k this week. Seems like I'll be right then. 😕
Will be the lower end, if so.
I think that is the Gameweek 2 figure. There was no opportunity to play them the week before and as far as I can recall the total shown in that box in previous season was the total from the last Gameweek alone.
I could have played mine, last week.
I think we might be talking at cross purposes here Doosra. You could have played yours last week and you would have been playing it in Gameweek 2.
Read it somwhere...
Mou's last 6 league defeats have come against managers whose sirname starts with P:
Pulis, Poyet, Pardew, Pochetinho, Pulis, and Pellegrini
and his next 2 games are against Pulis and Pardew... 🙂That bus will need a refuel
No way are Chelsea losing to Brom this weekend... BOOKMARK THIS
Yep
A) Depay/Mata + Chadli
B) Gylfi + Payet
C) Silva + Shelvey
D) Any other 2 mids for 15.5m
What do you guys reckon? Think I'm going to Wildcard after this gameweek, so long term fixtures not too important.A, but I feel like B could be just as good
D. Yaya and Mahrez or Payet and Ayew
Payet and Mane after he drops 0.1
Likely to drop?
Mane
FrancisThey should have dropped yesterday. I expect them to drop tonight.
Mane is going to drop?
At -97.2% right now. I think they price drop predictions are less accurate at the moment because of the wildcards.
Can someone please direct me Where do I please find my FPL team ID code ?
click on 'My Points' and see it in the URL
Great this vm
Hitting Points tab on FPL will give you the number in the URL.
Thanks guys
A. Pelle+Payet
B. Benteke+Mane
Funds no issue
B for me..
A
next three fixtures for Liverpool are hardA
Tough choice, I'd go A, bit I think Mane will explode soon
This
Or that
Yep
C) Pelle + Chadli?
B is more expensive and has more upside...A on current form though
Goood moooorning Ffs
Need help putting the final part of jigsaw together
i have Silva Hazard just for this weekend then Sanchez, Payet Mahrez please help me pick 1 from
Coutino-Mata-Mane-Eriksen or Memphis??You're taking Silva out for the Watford game?!?!!?
This
Or that.
Sorry just read how i worded this, Silva and Hazard in my team Hazard out next week for Sanchez who out of the other 5 would you put in??
Ah, that makes sense now I re-read it.. It'd be out of Mane and Mephis for me, depending who looks the best this weekend.
Memphis
Eriksen
Mata
Mane
Coutinho
in that orderDepay obvious choice for me
Thank you for your advice always appreciated even LOUIS99
Haha no problem, every word counts
Hi, bit of advice please.
I've taken an 8 point hit this week to remove Walcott and transfer in Kun.
If I play my Wildcard now will that eliminate the 8 point hit or will it still remain?
Thanks
For a -8 I wouldn't waste a WC mate
Playing your WC would eliminate the 8 points, but as Slash says - it's not worth it.
Remain
Oh am I wrong? If you've already done the hit aren't you screwed?
Thanks all, I'll sit tight!
Thoughts on this WC?? How can I improve this?
McCarthy
Gomez Darmian Kompany
Yaya Payet Sanchez Mahrez
Lukaku Aguero(C) Benteke
Schmeichel Westwood Richards Baker
I'd sooner have Gomis over Benteke
similar to mine with Gomis instead of Lukaku..
And I was Going 2 Do depay and transfer in YYT next week??wat u thinkof that
