The first membersโ article of the week arrives this evening as we delve into the data from Gameweek 6. We check in on Chelsea and West Bromโs new attackers, assess Everton and Southamptonโs lone strikers, and cast an eye over Liverpoolโs main performers in light of Brendan Rodgers’ move to a 3-4-1-2 formation at home to Norwich.
-
A) Ighalo & Hazard
B) Rondon & Pedro-
A by a mile

Ighalo & Pedro?

Is this your 1st session playing fpl Poch?
-
Yes, why? Do I reek of Noobity
-
No man i just looked at your history and you have none ๐
I am not trying to insult you mate
Guys as high up the rankings as you are usually avoid hits like the plague just keep that in mind your transfer if any at all has to be clinical and you will have every chance of a great year you could even win it if you play your cards right from where you are
It would be great to see a rookie win it ๐-
Cheers mate. Thanks for the words of encouragement. Never thought you were insulting at all!
Thanks for the advice about taking hits. I know I probably dont even need it but just wanted to gauge if it was a sound move.
Since the beginning I've made moves which are not exactly in line with FFS wisdom so I've been lucky this hasn't been a a 'normal season' so far. Personally think I'm benefiting from beginners luck-
As long as you are operating not exactly in line with FFS wisdom you should be ok judging by whats been happening with the community on here these past few weeks
But this a great place to come to keep up to date with the latest and see which way the herd is stampeding keep up the good work btw-
Cheers. Yeah I benefited a lot from here on building my initial team. The range of views are always refreshing.
There's usually some dissenters when herds emerge which allows you to make a balanced decision on whether to join them or not. Luckily for me the best bandwagons of the season so far; namely Mahrez and Kolarov, I've had since GW1!
Thanks again and good luck with your season

Just been reading TwentyMinuteReads.com
Wonder if you could help me compile an ultimate list of awesome football websites and podcasts?-
goal.com
-
Guardian Football Weekly and The Football Ramble are 2 of my regular ones
-
Cheers chaps
-
-
-
Sorry if I sound like abroken record, but do you guys think I should go for this?
Gomez & Benteke -> Martial and Evans (-4)
Nyom is currently the back up in case of Gomez's AWOL. If don't do it, I'd probably save since Silva is reported to be healthy now.-
Benteke > martial and save
-
Save. 2ft next week would be nice.
-
Just the Bentkke move imo. Nyom is excellent back up
-
Benteke to Martial is fine if Benteke is out for sure.
-
I hope I can know this by now.
-
-
Thanks all.
-

Front 8:
Mahrez I Silva I Yaya I Ayew I Payet (C)
Aguero I Wilson I Martial
I'm thinking of benching Mahrez this week. What do you think?-
Bench Yaya or Ayew IMHO
-
I thought about exactly those two players as well. Do you see mahrez getting much out of the arsenal game though?
-
Hard to bench until he blanks
-
yh you're right. Glad I've been brought back to my senses. What was I thinking??
-
-
-
-
no, Ayew
-
I think i'm starting to shift to ayew now
-
I agree with HEELS_OVER_HEAD. You can't bench a player when he's been so consistent. Have some faith! Haha. I would definitely bench Andre Ayew.....as long as Silva actually ends up playing. Ayew hasn't been performing nearly as well as Mahrez..... and Swansea can't exactly be high on confidence since they just lost to Hull City... granted it was just the Capitol One Cup and they didn't field their best team by a long shot but I can't imagine the loss will help much.
As for Silva, it's looking good apparently.... don't know if you saw the tweet that was posted 7-8 hours ago:
"More good news - manager says Silva, Kompany and Bony should be fit for Saturday - Sterling, de Bruyne, Silva in a three?".
COYG
-
-
-
I have exactly the same front 8 with Sanchez instead of Yaya.
I'm benching Ayew. Thought about playing AOA but with Silva risk as well, it didn't seem worth it.-
I wish I had sanchez but if i sell payet, I only get 10.9m. Just need 0.1 from somewhere now.
I think i'll go with ayew. Cheers.
-
-
-
Just noticed that Costa received a 3 match ban and Gabriel had his overturned. I support neither club, but it made my day to see that justice exists in this world.
-
Seconded. Costa is a dirty old git.
-
Costas ban is totally right imo.
Now i have no love for Chelsea, Costa or Mourinio but the Gabriel overturn is a bit weird. Are they saying he did not kick out at him? If he did its a stupid little thing but by the letter of the law you should get a red. Beckham in the World Cup vs Argentina?
Anyway i think its hilarious but a little confused.-
I don't think he did kick out. They were both walking backwards, Costa stopped behind him, and Gabriel walked into him. Didn't look deliberate to me (or at least not obviously).
-
If he didnt kick out then fair enough, i just thought he did. Anyway its funny
-
I think the kick out was pretty clear. It was minor, but that doesn't matter really.
-
Like Beckham's minimal contact but was a red, same kind of thing
-
Sure. And overturning the ban really undermined one of the few decisions Dean actually got right in the whole match!
Giving Gab a 2-3 match and Costa a larger one could have sorted it out.
-
-
-
-
We're on the same page. But as a Gooner I won't say much lol
-
Massively confusing, are they saying the refs decision was wrong? He actually consulted with the lineo so they are saying they're both wrong
-
-
Time for a blatant re-post of my mates illustration work on the Guardian web site. Costa this week-
http://www.theguardian.com/football/picture/2015/sep/22/david-squires-on-the-dark-arts-of-diego-costa
-
-
What's the consensus on Silva? Enough of a doubt to ship?
Entertaining the thought of doing Silva --> KDB (-4) myself.-
I have Silva and holding tight.
-
As tight as his calf ๐
-
-
Wait for news unless you expect a healthy KDB to outscore a healthy Silva long term
-
Not sure! Quite possible based on the last few weeks. Most plays went through Silva, now that's a bit diluted.
-
appears diluted because Silva has been out. I can't see KDB being favoured for no 10 over Silva though
-
-
this
-
-
Thanks for the suggestions. Will hold tight and wait and see.
-
We don't need a injury/fitness headache right now, especially at that price.
-
-
Captain
a) Coutinho
or
b) Mané-
Neither. Kun versus Spurs.
But if you have to, Coutinho. Liverpool have been garbage, but he's still looked more likely to score than Mane.-
I'am chasing + kun plays first game ๐
Thanks Dush
-
-
You must have other options?
-
kun & sanchez
-
Kun first for me, if you really have to then Cout
-
cheers SAB

Sale value up to 101.6m.
What's yours?-
SV 100.9
Getting better after a bad start in the wrong direction-
Still good, nearly going to make a mil profit.
-
-
101.8
-
Sv? Not TV.
SV = X out all players in transfer window to see your buying power-
Oh cool. Sv is still 101.8, TV is 103.9
-
WOW
Nice -
That's amazing. Must have had those pesky city defenders.
-
Only Kolarov.
Only major bandwagons "missed' are Kompany (since I didn't think his goals were sustainable, nor was he going to get Bonus), Yaya (since I had Silva), Barkley (terrible fixtures, though that hasn't stopped him)... and now Martial.-
I missed out on Kompany and Kolarov because I had yaya, silva and aguero.
Missed out on Barkley but I managed to get Martial on time.
Seems like we both like to play the value game. It's gonna be a slow race but hopefully it pays off in the end-
The only full season I played in FPL I played the value game until Nov-Dec and then piling on the big hitters with the Jan WC.
Only trying to follow suit this season, still learning along the way.

100.2
-
You're only 1.85 million places ahead of me... Watch your back! ๐
-
My rank is only 1.5mil atm. We're probably very close on points heels. I'm on 239
-
230
He's on 309-
jheeez that's going to be a tough catch for both of us. Looks like we're in a league of our own.
-
Patience. Marathon, not a sprint.
-
-
-
-
-
Did anyone else hear someone? ๐
-
๐
-
-
-
Same, 101.6. Hopefully will come in handy.
-
-
Muniesa to Dawson or Evans?
Is Dawson worth the extra 0.2?-
Evans for me
-
When Evans picks up his first knock, that 0.2 will save you a -4
-
That shouldnt be an issue if you have a decent bench.
Evans the better player for BAPS and potential attacking returns-
this
-
-
-
No, Evans has out bapped him twice in 2 games
-
Dawson for safety, Evans will be out injured in 3-4 games
-
-
Costa->Sturridge for a hit? (already have Benteke)
I have a feeling that liverpool are gonna run a riot this weekend-
I don't have that feeling
Costa→Ighalo/Martial or Vardy-
๐
-
-
Yeah. But look at his fixtures after this weekend. You want someone solid for at least 5 of the next 6 weeks
-
No Suarez. No Sterling.No Gerrard. No Henderson.
There isn't much left of the players that played off Sturridge well. He needs that.-
this
-
-
People said that too last week before Norwich game. There are other options or save if u have a player in the bench to play.
-
Sturridge is still very rusty. I'd give him a couple games before even considering it.
-
They really won't. Haven't won at home vs Villa in their past 4 meetings.
-
by this logic we should have won vs Norwich .... we won't win . thanks to BR
-
No more Suarez. Only reason you beat Norwich in past years ๐
-
suareeeeeez ๐
I hate you AF .lol
-
-
-
-
Get someone who has not just had one game back after a very long injury.
You can thank me later -
thank you guys, i guess i ll transfer in Martial
-
-
I went with Dawson, Evans is injury prone
-
You have chosen... wisely.
Though on the short evidence, Evans looks to be a BAPS darling.
-
-
Gday dz.
Another day of tinkering on the WC
Found a way to get yaya in for ayew and still have coverage of chelsea defence with begovic. Happy days
Anyway who should I take forward on wc?
Hazard or sanchez-
Haz
-
Hazard.
People just reluctant to switch from Sanchez, but with a WC .. -
Haz
-
Haz
-
Hazard
-
Thanks all
-
-
Hi, help me choose the first 11.
Myhil Howard
Azpi Kolarov Darmian Cedric Francis
Haz Yaya Mahrez Payet Sinclair
Kun Ighalo Wilson
Cheers!-
bench: Howard cedric francis sinclair
-
That
-
I have a feeling Howard will keep the clean sheet not Myhil
-
-
-
-
Biggest priority out of Tekkers, Cedric, Sterling and Schmeichel?
-
Trekkers *if* ruled out
Wait
-
-
Who's your Captain all now ??
-
Fear
-
Hindsight
-
and your VC ?

Really want to do Silva to Kdb, but not only is the move sideways, it will also be for -4.
Just can't have Silva missing another game after seemingly being fine all week.-
Have the same headache. The worst thing is if he misses this gameweek, he's a definite for the next one so i still can't take him out.
-
Wait for news.
-
Looks like he'll play this week, but it's just frustrating having a 10m mid injured.
-
-
What is sideways about this move?
-
That it's for a hit and when both play Silva can potentially match KDB's output
-
I thought the hit was for another reasoning. (Agreeable)
Don't think it is sideways if you opt for less injury prone players, with more changes to play.
Agreed on the output, only if Silva is fit tho.
-
-
Same team, same base price, likely sharing same position.
-
Probably similar scores too.
-
Only things matter to me, is the certainty of starting the game.
Don't like the injury / fitness headache at this stage, especially at that price.
-
-
-
I brought KDB in when Silva got injured and don't regret it one bit, his game is perfect for fantasy football.
-
-
Aguero mahrez or Hazard for (C)?
-
Kun x 34
-
Aguero, he may not be scoring from open play but he's getting plenty of chances which tells you he will hammer someone soon.
If he was only having 4 shots in 2 games like Martial than I would be worried.-
Exactly, and with Silva, KDB and Sterling to provide him with service...that should have Aguero salivating
-
He should have had a hatrick last night, I watched it and he's still a massive danger, this will be the week when they all go in after a load captain Martial and he blanks after only having 1 shot this week instead of 2.
-
-
-
-
Haz
-
Put the names on a dartboard
Good as any method this season -
Gureao
-
-
Who is looking forward to 5 hours of Manchester striker taunts on FFS on Saturdays.
OMG I told you so LOL
๐-
only for Martial. Spurs are going to be obliging to Aguero and City as always
-
Told you so he would score or blank? ๐
-
I have psychologically prepared myself for it as i fully expect Wilson to start against the useless Sunderland
But i know who is number 1 long term at United and his name is Martail-
Wilson will start the C1C today. LVG wont bench in form player. tbh he was surprised to see Martial hold up play and physic. Also both PL and champions league are home games.So no travel and good rest time.
-
-
don't think i'll be on the Martial wagon this week, so i'm definitely staying away from the boards.
-
-
Im looking forward to when Aguero, Sanchez and Hazard start getting me some pts! Its been so hard sticking with them!
The good thing is that Im in the top 200K even though my 3(4) most expensive players have given me so little pts ๐-
I am also looking forward to Christmas ๐
-
-
bye bye sanchez... hello payet.... now to upgrade wilson ๐
-
I think it's a week too early to be losing Sanchez.
-
eh... id rather payet + 9+
over sanchez and wilson
-
-
-
Pick 2:
A) Wilson(STK)
B) Vardy(ARS)
C) Gomis(SOU)-
AC
-
Thanks
-
-
id wanna play all 3.... leicester on the counter sounds handy against arsenal
-
I was thinking the same.
-
-
A and C
-
Thanks
-
-
-
Butland
Gomez | Kolarov | Darmian
Payet | Mahrez | Sanchez | Yaya
Benteke | Gomis | Aguero
McCarthy | Jenkinson | Westwood | Richards
1 FT & 0.3 ITB
any pressing transfers or save FT?-
Gomez and Darmian are now in rotation. Rest looks good.
-
If Benteke is ruled out I would remove him.
-
Gomez has also lost his spot, start Richards to avoid 1-pt cameo.
-
start Jenkinson if fit?
-
-
-
Benteke
-
-
1) Cech to Myhill
2) Ozil to Pedro
3) Cedric to Evans
4) Save-
2
-
2) or 4)

Quite undecided on what to do this week. This is my current team:
Hart - McCarthy
Kompany - Richards - Naughton - Gomez - Dawson
Sanchez - Mahrez - Payet - Barkley - Westwood
Kun - Benteke - Wilson
A) Gomez --> Azpi/Zouma/Cresswell
B) McCarthy --> Myhill
C) Benteke --> Martial
Or a combination for a hit?
Also, if I don't do A), could possibly play AOA chip... -
Anyone think Moreno will play for a stretch? Think he is fantastic value at 4.7 if nailed
-
Is Rodgers still managing Liverpool?
If the answer is yes, avoid their defenders. -
Yes, but Pool fixtures turn for the worst.
-
Liverpool don't really have the fixtures unfortunately.
-
okay, then ship out Gomez for who? prefer someone under 4.7
-
Evans?
-
-
-
I just watched the movie Three Days of the Condor directed by Sydney Pollack and staring Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway after it was recommended by community member walkman666
Decent film i never sen it before anyone here see it?-
1975 ๐ฏ ๐ฏ

Too old for you ladyguy?

I was born at 1986, how about you Billy?

1992

-
7 years before i was born but there is no movie too old for me as long as it is good

I am just going watching Midnight Cowboy now directed by John Schlesinger and staring Dustin Hoffman (1969)
I like it already great intro tune ๐

Morning DZ. Catching Muse live tonight! Stoked
-
Nice!. I saw them in the summer, they were fantastic ๐
-
saw them a few years ago in the US and promised myself I would make their next show wherever it is in Asia. They're brilliant live
-
-
Shifty, where are you? Friend in band entourage got me tickets for Shanghai last Monday but the business trip was cancelled.
-
Bangkok. Wow nice - don't have such connections, got the tickets camping over the ticketing site at launch!
-
ah sorry just saw that last bit....bummer. where are you based?
-
Detroit. Clients in Shanghai and Tokyo but trip got shunted because of holiday. 2nd row seats too. Bummer. Gave them to a colleague who is a mad fan.
-
-
-
Afternoon Shifty.
Sweeeet! I went to see them live when they came to Malaysia. One of my favorite bands and their live shows are always good. You won;t be disappointed.-
Yea watched them once before - so good! No standing tickets this time as my group doesn't feel as young anymore to be right in the thick of it. Hopefully the seats aren't that bad!
-
-
-
Anyone with Benteke, no FT and strong front 8 thinking of only playing 2 up front?
Instant 4 pt to the good and then assess
Yaya, Payet, Barkley, Ayew, Mahrez
Aguero, Wilson-
Would have no problems playing that front 7 if Benteke is out. Nice midfield - same as mine except for Sanchez and Coutinho over Payet and Barkley. But mine aren't giving me points ๐
-
-
I can afford Costa > Aguero.
No brainer? Or should I go for a Pelle/Igahlo/Wilson
I also Have Kolarov and Silva, tripling on Man C a wise plan?
