After assessing the Defenders and Midfielders over the first four Gameweeks, our latest members articles focuses on the forwards. We turn our attentions to Bournemouth, Stoke and Swansea’s in-form frontmen, whilst we also analyse Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool’s strikers after disappointing starts to the season.
Just realized Anderson is south african. That explains this choke
Racist?
Right
R4 defeat against novak from 2-0 up at wimbledon too
Needs KP to step in and show how it should be done
So who's captaining someone that's not Aguero/Sanchez
Kane
Whos he captaining?
Eric Dier
Does he know something we don't
Eric Dier Striker OOP
I like it! CS+Header and 3 BPS= Genius
Im sure a CS and just some random header wont get him 3bps and even if it does its only 9 points
himself
Im sure Adebayor still captains himself, says nothing
It's a great motivation though 🙂
I think proffesional footballers have more motivation than fpl
They are playing the Sky game £££ 😎
I think I might captain Mahrez actually.
Nice racquet work Murray.
How is he doing ?
Murray has gone all Scottish again
It was funny the first 20 times, it really was, and it still is
Trying to match a list from the members area to a list from fpl is tedious work! First automated attempt, ~50% match up, second attempt after capitalising all first letters and removing accents from all words and still up to ~80% match up. Looks like the rest I'm shifting about manually 😕
Im completely lost as to what you are saying here?
Names in the members tables here dont match up exactly with names in the fpl game so it's a ball-ache trying to combine a stats table from here with a prices table from FPL.
For instance on FPL its "Yaya Touré", on FFS its "Y Touré". Or on FPL its "Ki Sung-yueng" on FFS its "Ki".Awh, that is painful
yep the two that take the most cake are probably "de Laet" vs "De Laet" and "Fàbregas" vs "Fábregas"
I've got a macro that does it as part of my dead team thing from last year if you want it. Will have to wait until I get home though
Hey Billy. If you're open to sharing your macro, i'd be interested in it. Let me know if you are, cheers
So I made a new ps4 account and pretended I'm from Australia just to get the fifa 16 demo, it wasn't worth the hassle
You can change it in seconds on your existing account start the download and set it back to where you are!
Don't think that works
It does on Xbox 360
ps4 here
I know, I just presumed it would, got Valderama in my first fut draft, picked Ibarbo instead, if this doesnt sum up fifa I don't know what does
This is to much like hard work on the mobile. Catch you all tomorrow night.
I only use this site on my mobile
Same
You probably live somewhere with better mobile access than I do.
Dunno. It's hard work on my mobile as well
Would really annoy me like this all the time. But rural Scotland is not a hotbed of super fast mobile speed either.
Rural Scotland - hotbed.
I'm going out tomorrow night......The only way of warming the bed is with a stray sheep.
They are never stray....just lonely 🙂

Ayew Serious = the new Unreal. 136 pages worth of posts in 30 days.
That doesn't include the deleted ones.
Haha
You are just more addicted to this site than me.
I know, I need to get a life
Hey Gnu. I think your prediction is spot on once more. "you know who" I reckon has had a melt down and won't be seen again. You call it every year, ya old dog!
😆
I think he might be back for a grand finale.
We've seen it all before....
*lights up pipe*who who who 🙄
KT?
I'll just lock down this thread myself.
Night all 🙂I like Ayew Serious. Rather people who actually post and contribute than just beg for advice all the time.
You don't know how much this means to me, got a lot of abuse here one day just for commenting a lot and its not like its spam or RMTs but its my advice and opinions,
Thanks very very muchHe was joking.... Shhhhhh
Most on here are *insert negative words*. There's a few top people. Just best to do what you do. Ignore annoying people. 🙂
Thanks man
That's unreal.
Is Unreal a former poster on here or?
Still a long way of Rickardinho's record of 300+ pages in 30 days
I don't know any of these names
Don't worry about it. They are some former posters that posted a lot is all. You are polite and I was only joshing. Welcome on board pal 🙂
I thought you were a lurker here last season? If so, you must remember Rickardinho.
I don't, what was his Grav, much easier than names?
It was a player doing an overheard kick. Yellow and blue thing. He stopped posting about October last year I think. But for the first couple of months he was ubiquitous.
I wasn't here in pre season and only came at the start of the season and to be honest don't remember at all! But by the sounds of things, how did I miss him
I only became a regular around the time of the January wildcard, I feel I really missed out 🙁
You know Forca though?
More like remember Forca
Stop it now young man, behave.
Joke donkey former (sacked) mod. 😉Hey Demi, how many H2H leagues are you 20th in?
😆
None 😉
Didn't think so....
Think i've missed something...
😆
Sorry Dave, I'm laughing out loud looking at that. 😆
It is actually funny. another sad face 🙂
Consistent at least,
Check RCA's H2H leagues. 🙂
Hehe 🙂
Are you giving Ayew a challenge 🙂
I don't want to spam!
If advices and opinions are spam then who dares to comment?
But Surely I cant get 300+ pages without spamming or not attending what I must attend
you need to diversify, post injury updates, starting XIs, Risers & Fallers, transfer speculation, scout loan players, the world is your oyster Ayew 😉
Ayew serious?
The name sounds serious.
I will leave them jobs to those who usually do them, wouldn't like to steal their pride and joy
They are expecting you to contribute more to this site in order to reach 300+ pages, that is not necessary a bad thing 😀
I don't have the time, I don't actually spend a lot of time on this site, well I do but my post per minute online im sure is second to none
He's clogging up the @howtobakeacake.com forum as we speak!
*checks own profile*
Phew I'm only on 103 😆and I still reply fail far too often...
Haha
29 for me....
64! 😯 How did that happen? I've only aaked for opinions on two or three occasions and feel like I only pop in for a short while each day.
All those risers and fallers ...
You post the updated price rises alot
That's probably part of it. I think I've slowed down doing other posts since I started the blog though.
Doosra has 215!
😯 That's incredible!
Aye, but he's the Mother Teresa of these boards, that's a lot of wise comforting posts.

Thoughts on this going forward -
Butland (McCarthy)
Kola - Williams - Darmain/Francis (Jenkinson)
Payet - Alexis (c) - Silva - Mahrez (Hoolahan)
Diouf - Kun - Wilson
1 FT & £1.9m itb, seems odd to go without Swansea but for some reason, I'm not worried. It appears I'll save the FT and go into GW6 with two at my disposal and that's rather exciting me.Really good
Cheers, GW6 will be interesting. Payet having City between Norwich/Sunderland is pretty annoying.
before* not between, it's almost time for bed.
Swansea attacker I mean.
Payet -> a firing 8.5 will need to happen soon and Wilson's fix get hard in a few weeks but otherwise good 🙂
I was thinking the opposite with Payet, I quite like the idea of Sako/Puncheon. Still 4 solid fixtures in Wilson, downgrading Payet could give me a nice budget to upgrade Wils to a firing striker, all kinds of options. :p
hmm I think that leaves you weak in midfield, maybe downgrade Williams or jenko?
Jenkinson will likely be gone soon, I fancy Tomkins to keep him out the side. Darmain will be gone after Sunderland too I imagine. My team going into GW6 aside from Payet would still be pretty strong, so I guess it just depends who blanks/finds form etc. How I use the 2 FT's will be key for sure.
Yeah you've definitely not got anything to worry about this week. It could be useful to only use one FT next week as well, its always handy to rollover as much as possible.
Yeah I agree, I'd much rather that then having to somewhat waste one.
79 pages, not good enough
evening lads
murray gonna escape?
Wildcarded at the start of the break and looking to settle my team down now. Tried to fill it with in form players and good fixtures. Looks like they are all playing each other GW5 though. Let me know what you think and any changes you would make.
Mignolet
Smalling-Kolarov-Francis
Ayew-Shaqiri-Pedro-Silva
Wilson-Agüero-Gomis
McCarthy-Redmond-Gomez-WardIm gone, I think bed is a thing I will be seeing earlier from now one, ah well at least it will stay at 137 for tonight
Someone will miss you 😛
To reach 300 pages you have to start talking about ridiculous conspiracies about aliens on the dark side of the moon.
*Takes notes*
You're also expected to have a mental breakdown sometime around Christmas involving a large number of point hits. No pressure 😉
I have had enough mental break downs in my life to know fpl is not worthy of one, and at the moment I am in and plan to stay in the #nohitsclub
They are not ridiculous.
My stats tables will prove this..
http/blahblahblah/bunkum.
1 back for murray
Change of shirt worked
Huth has been on -95ish on FPL Stats for weeks and still surviving!
Coates have been surviving for many days even he has exceeded -100% since sometime ago.
Very tempted to switch from Gomis to Ayew in a week or two. I'm I just being stupid and changing for the sake of it or do you think it'll work out in the long run.
My team so far I wildcarded after week 2 and have been doing well since then:
Myhill McCarthy
Richards, Shaw, Kolarov, Souare, Oxford
Silva, Pedro, Depay, Mahrez, Westwood
Aguero, Wilson, GomisThat sounds to me like a sideways move.
Would double up instead
If you need to free up a striker spot, I think Ayew is a good choice.
More point per goal, more chance of assist, and CS points.
I will keep Gomis as long as Swansea still look good in attacking though.
RCA, how was the dark side btw?
🙂“Flirting with the dark side has always had it's fascination. Because you learn, and there's wisdom there. Escpecially with the post-Freudian era with the young, the shadow is ninety percent gold. You hold treasures there that you need to learn about yourself to be a whole person.”
― Edward Herrmann
Nah, on second thoughts, he was just like all the others. Big fat attention seeker. Then gone in a puff of wind.
Really, bed for me now!G'Night.
Actually had a wee thought about "Wigan"!
I'm noting it and maybe drop you a line or feel free to remind me.
Just a weekly fun update.
😉
wow never expected to see deep psychological talk about the 'shadow' on an fpl site. Awesome haha.
Fifa 16 demo out today, get hype
So are we expecting another disappointing night in terms of price changes?
Yep, I predict 0 risers, 1 faller
Sounds about right
Wouldn't be surprised… 🙁
No1 will be bothered making transfers in a boring international week
Team worth 98.3 with 1.0 in the bank.. should i press the wildcard or stay patient?? If patient what tinkering is required please
Krul Pantillimon
Shaw Dann Morgan Fernandez Johnson G
Hazard Mahrez Mane Ritchie Wanyama
Rooney Kane BentekeYour team is not bad, actually in goodshape.
Do not play your wildcard, not now.
If you feel you have to, then wait till this coming Saturday night but even then I would call caution.WC, try to build some TV and sort out your front 8
I'd sell Kane and Ritchie
Don't sell Kane yet as he's got Sunderland and Palace for the next 2. Sell after that.
Fair enough
What are the selection criteria for watchlist players? I just figured out Lindegaard is in our keeper watchlist, don't you all think he is really risky and no one sure if he is nailed?
You haven't seen his wife. He's a stud. He'll start
Strewth
Why his wife has anything to do whether he will start in WBA.
Because of who he is to have a wife like that confidently.
This will be the grav of some proud Lindegaard owners no doubt:
http://n2.hk/d/attachments/day_150522/20150522_b3414acca3a963cddd5aLttIje3M239l.jpgThis sounds like someone will turn into a better person if he has a pretty wife. Was Jamie O'hara turned to a better player after he married to Danielle Lloyd?
Do players have their price locked when they change teams like new players to the game? (ie Lindegaard vs Pedro)
If they are already in the game, I guess no.
Can't see why they would. It would only be to determine a base ownership and the existing player already has one
Pedro to rise tonight. Please?
maybe next week
Gomis/Diouf to Wilson for free?
What do you plan to use the fund saving ?
One of those two is in great form and another will have a good run of fixtures.Payet to Pedro atm.
In that case, Diouf.
Diouf, yes
Gomis out
Murray out 🙁
Anderson was on fire

Its been a fun ride Coates, and it still is because you're still in my team for some reason
