We delve into the Gameweek 3 data this evening in our first members article of the week. Up front, we assess Bournemouth, Chelsea and Liverpool’s lone forwards, whilst there’s plenty to analyse in the centre of the park, as we take a look at some standout statistics from Villa, Palace, United, West Ham and Norwich.
-
Guys when do the members and normal cups open for entries? Pages still have not been updated since last year.
Cheers-
Later in the season. Articles etc will be out.
-
-
What to do with this lot?
Ruddy ⚪ Rudd
Koscielny ⚪ Cédric ⚪ Morgan ⚪ Coates ⚪ Gomez
Mahrez ⚪ Ayew ⚪ Sánchez ⚪ Ritchie ⚪ Westwood
Agüero ⚪ Benteke ⚪ Pellè
1 FT, £3.3m in the bank.
Pretty clueless these days.
Thanks in advance. 🙂-
Time to show your magic 😛
-
Kos to Kompany / Kolarov?
or
Pelle to Diouf?-
Have to give Pelle one more chance at home I think.
-
Maybe fix your defense then.
-
Koscielny fit to play? Afaik, he has back problems and that's a serious long-term issue.
-
-
i'm soo happy you said that
i mean i know over the whole season he generally does well but he is just SOOO infuriating with the sitters he misses
-
-
-
-
Maybe go for a City Defender in place of Coates or cedric.
-
Coates -> Kolarov?
Nothing wrong with saving a transfer either, I'm guessing you have a strong starting 11 for this week fixtures wise?-
Feels light with only 1 City. Could get 2 more in for a hit then hold the WC for a bit.
Would mean Ayew or Ritchie getting the boot depending on which defender & which mid.-
I'd be inclined to stick it out with those two mids for now. I still think the City midfield isn't so easy to predict, Silva will be great of course but I still think there is value in Sterling and Yaya. You could probably monitor for a week and Watford are setting themselves up to be defensively solid. I would get Kolarov though.
-
You may be right. Getting one in would probably save the WC for a bit.
-
-
fpl stats show ritchie is close to dropping again.
-
I noticed. Want to give him 2 more games but another drop is annoying.
Cheers.
-
-
-
-
I would save the FT. See pelle & ritchie do see week and upgrade one or both next game week, or if Kos is out longer term then upgrade your defence
-
Expect Kosc to be out again. Could miss a Watford killing by not doing anything though.
-
This.
Koscielny -> Kolarov?
-
-
-
Either:
Pelle>Costa
or
Coates>Kolarov-
Not sure on Costa. He's annoying to watch.
-
I hate watching him too! You could do more with your team but I'm sure you have your wildcard intact so it's best you don't take any hits. I think Coates>Kolarov is a simple move but all you need.
-
that's his whole point
annoyance
but he'll rake in the points and if fit be up there with kun at the end
-
-
-
man city asset imo.... ayew to toure OR coates to kolarov/kompany
-
Could also get Silva. City is my current line of thinking.
-
i dont think silva is good value when you have toure.... his price is really low cause of his season last year....
-
Silva should have quite a few more points this season. Yaya is close to his peak this season though.
-
yeah he will outscore yaya but then hes also 1.5 more expensive... that cash could you used somewhere
-
-
-
-
-
Starting to doubt myself as well.
Probably Ritchie > Yaya straight swap.-
Yaya will troll me if I do that. 🙁
-
I have that fear too. But aside from Watford, he does have a great run of games after.
Thoughts on my headache below?
-
-
-
This Saints team we have this year is relegation material and any hardened supporter will tell you the same.
Cedric and Pelle out imo.
Benteke worries me as does the service he;s lacking and how longs Kos out for ?
Only minor surgery needed I think. maybe a -4.-
I know. Not liking them in my team. Giving them one last chance.
Kosc could be out vs Newc so he's on the list to go.
Benteke gets another chance.
Thinking a hit is the plan.
-
-
No immediate concern but I'd be tempted doubling up City attack
-
Cheers everyone 🙂
-
The ticker looks promising for your attack, so no real work required. Invest in the defence IMO e.g. Cedric/Coates --> Sagna/Kolarov/Kompany.
-
One of your defenders > Kolarov. Mids and forwards look okay for this week
-
Leave it. There's nothing horribly wrong with it. Save the transfer for over the international break.
-
-
Would you play the Bench Boost with this team. I think opportunities are gonna be few and far between.
Schmeichel (Schw)
Azpi Kolarov Gomez (Yoshida Targett - both have NOR(H))
Hazard Toure Ozil Mahrez (Westwood has SUN(A))
Aguero Gomis Wilson-
No.
-
is it because of Norwich's form atm?
-
-
I would only bench boast in DGW
-
assuming that would be to accommodate quite a few DGW players but wouldnt it be tough to do that without playing your WC before that?
-
Not really, if you plan your transfers in advance. Thats what most people do when a DGW is annouced
Also at this moment in time, people don't really have 15 good players, so later on the season you should have a better squad.-
hmmm interesting..... the guy below seems to share the same sentiment... think il give it a pass this week then..... still not completely convinced though but then again since its the first time not many will be
-
-
-
+42
-
-
I'd play the bench boost in a double game week, and the triple captain in the other dgw
-
you think its gonna be easy to have your subs be DGW players without using your wildcard?
-
You'll know the dgw weeks in advance. A few substitutions in the run up should be ok. Plus don't forget you still have 1 WC for the second half of the season. Remember by the tmie they come around the league will be a lot more settled so ergo your team will be too.
-
yeah thats true... but in the run up wouldnt you be getting in players for your main team? rather than bench players.... or would you be wildcarding right after?
-
But your bench should be players you'd be willing to play, if needed. So you'd expect them to get a few points.
-
hmm yeah..... cheers
-
-
-
-
-
-
I would consider it tbh
-
-
Hello DZ, would appreciate your advice on this joke of a team and the transfer options below. Thanks!
Pantilimon
Kolarov Koscielny Cédric
Hazard Özil Mahrez Chadli
Sakho Agüero Pellè
Subs: Rudd Targett Huth Bentaleb
A) Ozil + Sakho > Silva + Wilson (-4)
B) Chadli + Sakho > Yaya + Wilson (-4)
C) Ozil > Yaya free
D) Sakho > Wilson free
Or of course, save - play Targett/Huth if Sakho and Kosc are out.-
C
-
Can't recall whether I have answered this question, if not then D.
-
I believe you have, and it was the same answer. Cheers.
-
2 City enough you reckon?
-
I have 3, but I am not the expert, I may not be accurate.
-
-
-
Not a bad team, but d
-
Not sure on the Sahko situation but D looks the minimum.
-
for sure. just need to decide on whether a hit is necessary + whether Ozil>Silva or Chadli>Yaya
Really can't decide. Would you triple up on City if you could for -4?-
Same situation for me & I'm looking at -4.
Need to look deeper at the Watford defence & how good City are at home.
-
-
-
I think you need the team news on Sakho first but if he's playing I'd go for c. If not, b makes more sense.
-
B. take the -4 this time.... Yaya has WAT cpl WHU tot NEW
Wilson has LEI nor SUN sto WAT (apart from watford the first 4 havent kept a clean sheet thus far)
Wilson cause hes on pens, one more double digit score and his price is gonna skyrocket which always helps with value -
A
-
-
hazard and depay to yaya and sanchez for -4?
-
Not yet. Wait til after this weekend and then reassess
-
hazard or depay to yaya only
-
Probably worth keeping Hazard for this week, but Depay to Yaya looks good
-
-
who would you play this week?
A. Darmian(Swa)
B. Payet(Liv)
Thanks!-
Liverpool and United are the masters of clean sheets at the moment, so just on that i would choose Darmian!
-
Darmian
-
-
I hate my midfield im on wc so nothing is official but all 5 of these are in my team
(Playing 343)
mahrez pedro toure payet hoolahan
I have 3.8 itb any suggestions on it
thinking payet to depay
pedro to sanchez
toure to silva
suggestions?-
Arsenal midfield?
-
is a lottery sanchez when in form tho
-
True, but Arsenal is a team that you can't ignore.
-
ya if fixtures were more clear it would be an easier choice but unfortunately boro Southampton and man city are the only I can think of that have really good fixtures coming up (shampton playing like shite tho)
-
Southampton might be another victim of EL curse 😛
-
-
-
-
-
Keep away from depay for now.
Yaya to silva &
pedro to sanchez only is you have chelsea cover elsewhere -
Pedro to Sanchez imo
-
Payet to Ayew/Ramsey/Coutinho/Depay
-
-
Would you play WC?
Mig Ruddy
Coates Mert Azi Huth Francis
Hazard Milner Payet Mahrez Sinclair
Aguero Benteke Sakho-
Hold off until after international break at least
-
No. That Coates chap interests me. Sun really manned up at the W/E and could not believe they let 3 in tonight.
I'm tempted to give them the benefit of that improvement and get him in. -
No
-
-
If you could pick two 4.5 defenders to have in your team, who would they be?
Currently on Prodl + Francis.-
Watford seems to know how to grind out a 0-0, so maybe one of theirs. Francis does love to run forward.
-
I think you've choosen the best two at 4.5. Maybe a stoke defender is also a possibility
-
I have a Stoke GK 🙂
-
-
Is selection of the DEFs with a view to rotate and play one of them every week; or, is it just bench coverage and maybe play them on the odd occasion?
-
It's between the two you mention and Huth / Morgan
-
-
Is Westwood going to get more points than Payet this GW?
A) Yes
B) No
I am still undecided.-
Probably. Payet will get 2 and westwood will get 2/3 maybe even an assist
-
This
-
-
Not enough vote to convince me to make the decision, but thanks for all your feedback.
-
you better not bench one of the most creative players in Europe..
-
-
-
Play one this gw
1. Montero mun (h)
2. Payet liv (a)-
1 without hesitation
-
thx
-
-
Montero
-
Montero

Enner Valencia slams West Ham medical team: 'They seem to have forgotten that I'm injured... the club have not supported me'
-
Give Eva a call she's not doing much at the moment
-
😀
-
-
-
I already have Kolarov and Aguero...concerned that they're not enough for this weekend and the coming run of games.
Will probably use my free on Sakho > Wilson. Is either of the following worth a hit this week keeping in mind the run of games to come? City have WAT cpl WHU in next 3.
A) Chadli (EVE sun CPL) > Yaya
B) Ozil (new STO che) > Silva-
B, as Chadli has some interesting fixtures and Silva is the muts.
-
Cheers T4T - you tripling up yourself?
-
I can't without losing Hazard, so going to stick with Kolarov and Aguero for now. Giving Mane one more week and monitoring Navas/Nasri as potential cheap ways in to 3.
-
-
Ah, misread.... Not for a hit. On a free next week B.
-
-
B
-
I wouldn't want it for a hit, any of them can score this week.
-
I'd do B next week when no hit is involved
-
Seems like no hit is winning
-
-
Ozil another player I just dumped, kept Caz though for Arse cover.
Yer B.-
Thanks Pinkfish
-
-
A
-
-
who to play this week?
A. Butland(WBA)
B. Ruddy(Sou)-
A
-
Tell me about it!
I am going A. -
A
-
Has to be A
-
A - all day long.
-
Cheers! 🙂
-
A
-
B
-
-
Anything wrong with this defense lineup?
Butland (McCarthy)
Kompany Richards Gomez (Darmian Ward)
Cheers!-
looks good..
-
Ward - Palace can't keep clean sheets, they have some bad fixtures coming up too.
-
Thats the reason I benched him.
-
-
All good IMO!
-
Cheers all!
-
-
A) Pelle > Wilson (-4)
B) Payet > Pedro (-8)
C) Neither
Pelle will drop & Wilson will go up!-
A
-
-
Chasing last weeks points??
-
Trying to resist 😆
Still three more days to hold out
-
-
On WC. which combo do you prefer?
A. Yoshida/Targett/Richards + Coutinho + Costa
B. Shaw/Darmian + Shaqiri + Costa
C. Shaw/Darmian + Pedro + Diouf/Gomis
Thanks.-
A
-
C
-
C
-
B or C 😛
-
C
-
C) Darmian, Pedro, Diouf
-
So C is the preferred choice. Cheers all 🙂
-
-
Interesting that at the end of GW3 45% of those in the top 10k are new accounts.99% of the top 10k have never been in it before either.
Shows the fpl has not settled yet so no need to worry about our positions just yet.
Either that or everyone decided to create a new account this year lol.-
I deleted my account last season, but I am not in the top 10k 😛
-
-
I deleted all the German names from my mobile phone
It's now Han's free-
Corellian, Han Solo is. Not German.
-
His Grandad was German
-
-
I deleted all the Swiss names from mine.
I'm on a roll.
-
-
I know this is a pretty popular question, but
A) Diouf (WBA, ars, LEI, BOU, avl, swa, WAT)
or
B) Wilson (LEI, nor, SUN, stk, WAT, mci)
Thoughts?-
Diouf.
-
A
-
Cheers guys. Was leaning that way 🙂
-
-
Wilson
-
-
Silva is far and away the best midfielder on form right now with great fixtures. Fantastic stats to back him up. Yet YYT is rising faster?
-
He's cheaper
-
Because he's that little bit cheaper and easier to swap to him from Fab, Depay etc
-
YYT has more points so far? Naturally that counts for a lot. It's why Lukaku is rising as well since next to Wilson he has the most points for a striker.
-
-
Who to play this week?
A. Darmian(Swa)
B. Payet(Liv)-
Montero v Darmian
He will do well to avoid a yellow card-
So play Darmian?
-
Wow
-
It's a tough one Payet will probably get 2 points so I would take a chance on Darmian since United look solid at the back
-
-
-
b
-
U reckon whu will score against Liv?
-
-
-
Too early to be thinking of bringing in Pedro? Considering Payet to Pedro.
-
If it's free, why not. Is there bacon on that Burger?
-
A burger wouldn't be a burger without bacon 😀
-
-
who would you be downgrading..
-
Payet
-
-
-
Butland
Gomez Richards Targett
Silva Depay Sanchez Mahrez
Lukaku Gomis Aguero
Subs - Westwood Shaw Reid
A- Lukaku > Diouf
B - Sanchez > Pedro
C- Stick with & save transfers for next GW -
Play 2 of Darmian, Targett and Francis?
-
Targett & Francis
-
Darmian and Francis
-
-
Hazard drops in price days before a tie home to Palace.
Fickle game this FPL lark-
I'd captain him!
Will he double drop? -
It always has been
-
Madness. It'll be high scoring.
-
Should've dropped a lot more tbh
-
Loving it
-
-
Is this defense to light on a WC?
Butland McCarthy
Kolarov Gomez Richards Francis Saylor
Will give me Aguero, Sanchez, Silva, Pedro, Benteke.-
Saylor won't play, need an upgrade
-
I know, but he is cheap and will give me Silva over Yaya.
Could downgrade Silva, and boost my defense.
Whats your thinking?
-
-
-
Aguero up to 30% ownership
-
Damn, need another differential now. Costa?
-
Costa rising tonight it seems
-
(C)osta* 😉
-
I think not. And he isn't rising tonight ...

-
-
Damn. Wish he got a haul earlier.
-
We can thank Rooney for that.
-
-
Butland schmeichel
Kolarov Lovren Francis Prodl Naughton
Sanchez Hazard Yaya Mahrez Westwood
Aguero Gomis Wilson
RP for DZ
WC team, any errors or changes?-
Love the Watford defender, as long as he starts. Front looks tidy too. Not fancying your keepers though. Schmeichel to Myhill I think.
