Our first members piece of the week delves into the data from Gameweek 17. Everton and Leicester’s frontmen arrive under our analytical eye, as do United and Southampton’s toils up top, whilst we also turn to midfield and set our sights on Chelsea, Stoke and Villa.
Hennesey, Ruddy
Francis, Dawson, Zouma, Moreno, Targett
KDB, Coutinho, Eriksen, Arnautovic, Sinclair
Pelle, Aguero, Ayoze
HELP ME FIX THIS (only diff please) ------ 1.5£ Bank / 0 FT
A) Targett --- Ward (palace)
B) Sinclair --- Alli (spurs)
C) Ayoze --- Ayew (Villa) / Bojan (stoke) / Wickham (palace)
D) Take a -8 hit with two above
My captain choice has just come to me in a moment of enlightenment.. Why not just captain the best player in the league - Ozil!
Ozil (c) Lukaku (vc) I reckon
Might take a punt on DeBruyne
I was keen on him but he's looked a bit jaded recently and could easily be given another rest
Yer the best player in the league
Mahrez (c)Can't argue with that either really!
Bottomed:
Mertesacker should be nailed right?
Looking at defender around 5.0 for Richards.
Im behind in every leagues, is the transfer below a good way to make up ground, or just stupid and will make it even worse?
Hazard/ Vardy -> Bolasie/ Aguero
Need to do the Bolasie transfer tonight..
Worse I think. I may bench Bolasie this week.
I'm looking at something quite similar. It's quite hit and miss as both Bolasie and Kun are explosive.
Vardy to ighalo ?!
Wait a bit man. See if Vardy is okay.
Liverpool are pony. Leicester are likely to tear them a new one.Presser was today. Nothing said. Doubt you hear much more now
Done yesterday the stats don't lie plus hammy is always a worry
A) Walker
B) Dier
C) Rose
??A or B
C if recovered from illness
Walker has 4 yellow cards
Case for getting Silva in this weekend? (already own KDB)
SUN
say what?
Sunderland at home
Lukaku vs Mahrez - (c)?
Well... Yeah. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful than that
Well you just read out my thoughts...
😆
Just ridiculously close
It's the tightest a captain's choice has ever been and that, I think most would agree, is from probably the best player this site has seen in recent years.
I'm surprised you guys aren't also considering KDB vs Sunderland at home, and Kane vs Norwich at home
Oh, I am. Form a serious consideration though
Yeah, I mean I am going for Mahrez tbh, and Kane as VC.
This
Mahrez
Mahrez. Everton vs Newcastle on TV which normally mean Newcastle grind out a result
Through the TV theory down the bin last week v Villa...
Threw*
wijnaldum (c) is the way to do that properly
It seems TV plus playing a big games/good team means they turn up.
Their worst TV performances were against Bournemouth, West Ham and Villa.
Played well against United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Sunderland (big derby), Liverpool and SpursEven though they lost to Sunderland, they were by far the better team and very unlucky
Yeah I know, saw that game. Still is a funny theory though...
Indeed it is.. They are a funny side!
Mahrez captain, as he delivers more and bigger points returns. Plus he's against Liverpool
Exact money for.....
Firmino + Rose out
Ramsey + Ivanovic in
It's fateI would take Rose over Ivanovic any day of the week...
Just Firmino to Ramsey, I'd say
This.
dumped firmino last week, felt amazing. watched him each week since city game and he has been awful, truely awful.
then i saw he started as false 9 against watford and was worried....i shouldnt have been
DO IT
Different transfers out, but the same two in, for me.
Not checked values but if you can capitalize on an Ivanovic rise - go for it. If not, Firminio to Ramsey is solid
Cheers all.
Firmino to Ramsey is a goer, unless I get the Theo bug.
Perhaps I should just get a 2nd goalkeeper as my 2nd move....or bank a transfer!I'd bank, 26th could be a great time to have 2 FT.
Myhill has decent fixs and should in theory start to get some returnsKeeper or ditch Rose imo, Spurs fixtures aren't great .
Andy, I'm still debating Ramsey or Walcott too. Walcott could score big, but Ramsey looked great going forward on Monday night.mjust can't come up with one clear reason to pick one or the other. Why are you leaning towards Ramsey?
Any news on pressers guys?
Team value = 98.8
In the bank = 8.2
Shame for situations like this we cant transfer in an extra man for our squads.
Draft in Ramsey as my 6th mid or something.Team value = 99.8*
Is Alli rising tonight?
No.
Would you rather go into the rest of the season with a template team a la the top 10k, or a la FFS?
Whatever gets more points. Top 10K is winning by a mile atm.
FFS all day long
I just pick a team that tries to get the most points.
Oddly most of the top 10k have the better teams for some strange reason.Thats history. What about the future?
The future nearly always repeats itself 😉
If that is the case anybody outside the top 10k might as well pack in.
DDG
Wollscheid - Toby - Evans (Moreno, Simpson)
Ozil - Mahrez (C) - KDB - Alli (Defaileu)
Vardy - Kane - Lukaku
1ft, 6m ITB. Save FT?Yes, save.
Nice team, yeah save, unless you're keen on Aguero?
Nah, happy with the front 3 at the moment.
Mane likely to drop tonight ? Looking close at 92%
Could drop.
Butland
Kolarov, Ward, Bellerín,
Hazard, Mahrez, Özil, De Bruyne
Lukaku, Kane, Vardy
(McCarthy, Moreno, Westwood, Richards)
2FT, 2.4 ITB
Will get Ramsey/Walcott in for Hazard but would you save the other FT here ?If hypothetically i did have Haz, i would wanna see how he does under new management at home to Watford. Willian, Oscar and Pedro all scored last time out. you know if Haz was fit he too would have..
Was thinking about it and maybe I will keep Hazard, in that case I'm using my FT for a Richards or Westwood upgrade.
Yep. Sounds good!
Cheers
Westwood -> Alli.
First year, anyone care to explain the "ffscout cup" Marks spoke off on the scoutcast
Same as FPL Cup but just for FFS. Another one is more members.
Classic cup for us
There will be an article on here you will just have to leave your ff scout username and fpl ID, then a qualifying round and then you will be drawn against fellow ff scouters
Cheers all
I.am not.kidding I can't playy the reply of the scoutcast.. Is it.me or something.is wrong.?
Did anyone done it?Works fine for me
Might be your phone. Can you use something else?
No.sadly. will try in browser not in app.
It's fantasy football scout on YouTube. Not pornhub. Repeat. Not pornhub
Going by the punctuation and grammar in your post I'll go out on a limb and suggest user error 🙂
Cracked open the mince pies - chriiiiiiiiiiistmas!
😀
I think I have your lookalike after having just seen you on scoutcast Andy
😮
Brace yourself
http://the-bottom.wikia.com/wiki/Spudgun
Ramsey or Walcott? First 3 win
Ramsey
Ram
Thanks both
Walcott
Ramsey
Ramsey
What to do? 2FT (5m itb)
Hennessey - Elliot
Dier - Dawson - Coleman - Moreno - Simpson
KDB - Ozil - Mahrez - Mane - Alli
Vardy - Kane - Lukaku
MANE > Ramsey?Silva possibly in with a shout?Get rid Mane. Had him for 6 weeks and he's been a tease.
As for replacement, yeah. Ramsay/ Coutinho/Wij
Vardy has regressed based on stats, small injuries and no show in training pics. All signs are there that needs to go soon.
Looking for a excuse to get him out for Kun ?
Spot on.
Just trying to convince yourself to bring in Kun?
I may join you...Excatly. Need to start doing things differently. Hard to climb in rankings with template front7
I am actually doing ok this season, c. 7,500, but still feeling the need to change it up.
That is excellent rank at this point. If you want to stay inside top10K you need to be one step ahead.
I'm expecting City to bounce back.Yep, I am very happy with my position. Not sure how I have done it really as it feels a poor season, but I keep grinding out solid game weeks.
Thinking of Vardy > Kun and Kol > Ivan with my 2fts. Let's get this party started!
Yet the returns keep coming.
but only 6 goal attempts in last 4 games will it continue?
Certainly.
How has he regressed?
Has a player ever in the history of fpl only blanked once and returns points in all the other games during the first half of the season?
Six shots in 4 games you say? Sell quick!I'm more worried over those small injuries, 4 yc than his stats and like I said above I will never climb in rankings with template team
Earlier this evening, Harry Kane announced his intentions to score 21 goals vs Norwich via Twitter. I know who im putting the armband on
(K)un?
Rudd?
😀
I know this is wishful thinking, but becasue Leicester have 2 very physical CB's in Morgan and Huth, wouldn't Bony be more suited playing in this game than Aguero?
Ideally, Aguero plays against Sunderland and gets rested against Leicester. Thoughts on this logic?I'd put Kun against Huth any day of the week
I fear Aguero might not start against SUN and I own him already 😕
Definitely cements the captaincy on Mahrez for meEvery team would just play 2 big guys vs City if that was the case.
Kun will start both. He needs match fitness to perform, he'll do a couple of 60 min stints I'd say.
if we used that logic, messi should be benched when he's playing Leicester in the champs league next season.. ....... you play your best players.. thats it!!
As walker has 4 yellow cards am going with dier!
Just has 2 games to survive though
rising tonight too
Rising tonight .
Any idea when the FFS Cup will start?
I'm apparently saving my green arrows for it.January
January
New year
That's great guys thanks.
I will get you round one. It will be clash of the doldrums
That'd be fantastic.
We could call each other up after the first round of games and have a great laugh about how badly it's gone so far.Have to qualify first 😉
Whys you have to go and do that? 😀
How are San Marino doing?
Won out last 2 to put us back in the mix but still work to do
Good I would like to see San Marino and Eire go through if possible.
Thanks mate we will be doing our best, thrown one game away that we should never have lost, but that's another story, hopefully we can win our last 2
They are a good lot those San Marinese.
A record low scoring round 1 and somehow we both manage to lose it.
OK I am bored so once the last of my drivers has vbeen in and taken away his trailer to go down the road I am off to ASDA to buy a stocking filler for the lovely (former weathergirl) Mrs Cheeseoid.
ALready have her main gift and a few other bits and bobs.
Any suggestions? The criteria are:
1 Must be available in a medium sized 24 hour Asda
2 Must fit in a stocking
3 No food I have put a Toblerone in already
4 Must be cheap as I have probably spent to much already.Condoms
*Rondon 😉
Cheese doesn't use rondons.
I have a waxy covering already
Cloudy with a chance of meatballs
Mrs Cheese is known for not liking cartoons
You got the weather reference though right 🙂
Ah god I failed. So sorry.
Maybe a golden shower?
Chocolate flavoured body paint is always a winner, for both parties.
They might sell nutella?
That's the definition of win win.
She will see the romantic side when your standing it nothing but a pair of socks with the jar of nutella and a knife...oh...wait...You are right. Should lose the socks otherwise it seems crazy
Batteries.
Hmm very useful. I there anything they could go in?
Electric cheese grater?
Does that even exist?
A man wearing the stocking in a imagitive way?
*imaginative
Which man?
Sorry I'm booked.
Are you condoning cross dressing?
Umbrella
That would be a very neat fit in a stocking wouldn't it?
Who would you rather get Bolasie or Willian?
Bolasie but neither ideally (Bolasie owner)
Hazard dropping tonight?
Probably.
might just survive tonight, but deffo tomorrow.
Your heel is not the first limb broken
Your lack of form makes us want to cry
But despite it all we know
There's just no getting over you
You know I'm just a fool who's willing
To take a hit and use a transfer for you
But, baby, can't you see
We need a differential and it's you
Hopelessly devoted to Kun
But now the template is tight
Since the casuals are high
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to Kun
Hopelessly devoted to Kun
Hopelessly devoted to Kun
My head is saying, "Fool, It's madness"
My heart is saying, "Gameweek 8"
Get you straight back in
Is that what I intend to do?
I'm hopelessly devoted to Kun
