The Scoreboard presents the Fantasy Premier League information you need from the day’s matches all on one screen, including the current top five BPS (Bonus Point System) standings from each match (potential Bonus Point earners are in bold). Actual Bonus Points will be shown when added – all points are provisional until then.
Would you get Aguero in this lot and how?
Butland
Walker, Bellerin, Wollscheid
KDB, Barkley, Mahrez, Özil
Giroud, Kane, Lukaku
subs: Hennessey --- Alli, Simpson, Moreno --- 2 FT, 3.9 ITB
A) Barkley & Lukaku -> Arnautovic & Aguero
B) Alli & Lukaku -> Gosling & Aguero
C) Moreno & Lukaku -> Ward & Aguero
I'd be getting rid of Giroud
Well that's a possibility too. Nevertheless would like to keep Giroud for Newcastle match. Thoughts about Barkley -> Arnie and save FT this week (go without Kun)?
Yes. Get rid of Giroud after the NEW game. Barkley to Arnie sounds good.
Sounds good
Wait and see how aguero looks first. It he couldn't play sat whst's to say he'll play tue and sat.
Giroud home to Newcastle.
Butland is now the same price as Courtois...
Madness
Actually tempted to get Courtois instead at this stage but the saves won't be as high going forward. Perhaps more clean sheets though
Also , Butland cant keep up his unrealistically high save % all season
Anyone here ever trailed by 120 points in their ML at this stage of the season and overturned it? What are the proven strategies in successfully achieving this?
Getting a player they can't afford without major changes to their team... Aguero
I'm behind 58 points and he can't get him in easily
Believe me things change 10 gameweeks ago I was 13k. 800 odd now
I can't catch a break this season, feel deflated and ready to throw in the towel, which is out of character for me 🙁
Just keep plugging. After today we have a solid gameweeks to focus on in early January. Plenty of points to be had, captain options galore
Captain picks let me down, which I'm sure is the case for many good FPL managers here. Luck has to change at some point, seems everything my rival does turns to gold!
Earlier in the season it took me 6 gameweeks to get from 949k to 1k. I'm sure there's going to be even more opportunities to gain ground once double gameweeks come around and people start using their triple cap, bench boost, etc.
Proven strategies probably aren't a thing as every season is different, especially this one.
You will need differentials eventually probably but there's still half a season left,. don't go crazy just yet. Try and nail those captains.
Still have double game weeks and chips to come. Plenty of timeI've been adding differentials into my team for several weeks which haven't paid off. My target is to claw back 15pts each week from next GW. Seems realistic but difficult!
Will be difficult but don't give up. If you pull it off it will feel great.
Differentials are tough right now, so many players are consistent and it's hard to break. You need to be brave and keep an eye out. Players like Lanzini and Payet coming back soon could help.
Maybe Hazard getting his mojo back, Sanchez returning.Fair points Andy. My biggest weakness this season has been pulling the plug of poor performing players too early this season, then they perform. Could name over 10 players I dropped after 2 blanks in a row who have gone on to score big following weeks.
Patience is good FPL management IMO.
Ten points a week for 12 weeks. You've got 19 weeks to go. A good differential captain most weeks will help but in this season where it's so hard to predict that's not always an option. And him doing badly would help too.
It can be done. Chips DGWs good planning can come back for sure.
WC ignited, fellas. What you think?
Butland
Bellerin, Moreno, Evans
Barkley, Mahrez, Ozil, KDB
Giroud, Kun, Lukaku
Hennessey, Ward, Simpson, Fletcher
0.7m IT. Thinking Payet for Barks once fit, and Giroud to Kane after the Geordies.
Risks are Kun and Giroud
Kun is wait and see, Giroud is a one week punt which I don't like on WCIf I were on a wildcard. I'd definitely in defence have Tottenham and Chelsea cover, maybe even Man United. The minimum for a fifth mid would be Alli
Put Kane in now
All good points, cheers. Yea I've had Kane in all along but just fancy Arsenal to hammer Newcastle.
need TOT def
How's my team looking for next GW used 1ft on Rose>>Azpi
Butland (Hennessey)
Azpi Bellerin Evans (Moreno,Souare)
Ozil(C)Ramsey Mahrez(VC) KDB (Coutinho)
Kane Lukaku Vardy
Play Evans or Moreno?
Looking to get Kun next week (If still fit)
Coutinho and Vardy >> 4.5 Aguero 2FT GW21
Looks great IMO, wise plan
Current forward 8: 1FT, 0.1 itb
Mahrez Yaya KDB Wijnaldum Mane'
Kane Lukaku Giroud
I need to bring Ozil in, which is the better option?
A- Mane + Wij > Ozil + max 4.8
B- Yaya + Wijn > Ozil + Alli
C- Yaya + Mane > Ozil +Arnautovic
D- Hold the FT.ask again after the City game
C
C looks nice. Thanks
I have brought a 80 point deficit bacl to 20 points. Use my chip for next gweek?
AOA
Butland
Moreno Alderwierd
Mahrez Ozil Kdb Deulafeo Shaqiri
Lukaku Kane Vardy
Mccarthy Kolarov Richards Saylorlooks great
AOA or bench Deulafeo
mind helping me aboveOf going AOA and playing Lukaku and Delafeou then don't play Toby.
Kool might just play Kolarov
"Ozil has created more clear-cut chances than the entire Chelsea team this season."
To say the guy is on fire is a bit of an understatement. No matter how bad Chelsea have been that's still crazy!
He's a clear captaincy favourite
I think I need to give him serious consideration this week. Barely looked at hime for it last week:
Giroud (c)
Ramsey (vc)
That ball through to Wally from out on the right yesterday was unreal. He is right at the top of his game at the moment. Let's hope he can keep it up.
And because I came so late for his party, there is no chance to have him + kdb + sanchez + aguero
If all's ok this week.
Am I G2G with correct bench order?
Butland
Kolv. Bellerin. Moreno.
Mahrez. KDB. Ozil. Walcott.
Lukaku. Ighalo. Kane.
Subs. Hennessey. Alli. Wollscheid. Ward.Gtg who's your captain?
No idea yet.
Looking at Ozil. Or Theo again
2 FTs and 0.7 in the bank. Would you change anyone?
Butland Hennessey
Bellerin Dier Moreno Evans Simpson
Ozil De Bruyne Mahrez Ramsey Barkley
Aguero Kane Ighalo
Ramsey/Barkley to cheaper mid. Probably Alli
Thanks but I don't really need more money in the bank. I am one of those who don't mind a benching dilemma for an attacking player?
Silva, Mahrez and Vardy should outscore Aguero right?
Yes
Antonio (WH) nailed on? Or dropping out when Moses/Payet is back?
Not sure what position he plays to be honest but I guess Lanzini coming back too would throw another player into the mix
Not nailed. Mainly playing because there are so many West Ham attackers injured
Play Ward or Alderweireld?
Alderweireld for me
I'm playing Ward
Ward
Going to Europe for my honey moon in the middle of September and I'll be doing a short stop off at Liverpool to visit Anfield.
Would it be possible for me at all to book tickets for a game or just don't bother? I hear it's quite hard.
Of course there is the chance there won't be a game at Anfield at the same time I'm there, but I'll also be in London so I'm sure at least one game will be available.
It's difficult to get tickets, but if you can afford it hospitality tickets are available. That way you can take your wife to dinner/lunch at Anfield 🙂
Thanks for the reply. How much are those tickets?
It varies depending on the package, but I'm not sure you can get September tickets until the fixture list for next season is announced.
http://hospitality.liverpoolfc.com/fixtures
Butland (McCarthy)
Ward Dawson Moreno (Kolarov Toby)
Mahrez Özil Ramsey KDB (Ayew)
Vardy Lukaku Kane 1.0
Have 2FT and only wanna use one:
A. McCarthy > Rudd
pros: second playing keeper;
cons: boring move/ will most likely choose the wrong one from time to time
B. Ayew > Arnie
pros: Arnie on fire/ more or less fixture proof imo
cons: massive benching head aches
C. Ayew > Stansilas/King
pros: money itb/ no benching headaches
cons: boring
Too easy season for casuals. Template team is cheap and firing week after week. Hopefully 2nd half of season is different.
Then they will just jump ship to the new template and we are screwed anyway.
All we need is those big boys to put their shooting boots on.
My team has looked insane on paper for a while now, yet I just keep plummeting down in rank. It's very frustrating
Thats because template keeps on scoring
Feckin Ighalo and Barkley.
I think you can get rid of Barkley. But Ighalo is needed
I second this! Hope they get sold on january 😀
We have the TV.
They have not.
Once the tide turns. We will afford Sanchez and Kun. They will not without making big changes to their teams.
Plus we still have our chips for DGW. They've blown theirs
Ighalo, Mahrez and Arnatovic are not casual picks.
Ramsey,Yaya Toure and Hazard are casual picks.
Maybe I misunderstood the word casual and it means something different to people who take a casual interest in fpl or people who don't actually watch the games and judge their teams on the basis of how much they cost or how they did in previous years.
If you did watch the games you would see first set of players in fantastic form and want to get them in your team.
Pet peeve of mine on this site is people blaming the fact that good players that they have misjudged are performing every week and therefore it can only be luck of "casual" players.
+100000 a casual player by default will keep players too long, miss deadlines and not take such an interest in the game.
A casual is not just someone who is doing better than you. In fact you'd also be inclined to say a better description of a casual is a person that goes on a website, posts their team every week and can't make a decision without passing the responsibility on. Therefore casually playing as not putting too much thought into it and letting others do the thinking.I wouldn't call anyone on this site a casual even if they do take too much credence in posters on here regarding their team.
I just hate the word casual tbh, it's a cheap way to act superior to players that are doing better than you.
This......
Aye. Think in this context though "casual" means "looks at who scored well last week, or who's the top scorers overall in each position, and gets them in". Which often doesn't work, but this season has reaped rewards.
DDG
Bellerin Simpson Dawson
KDB Silva Ozil Mahrez
Kane Giroud Lukaku
Hennessey Alli Wollscheid Alderweireld
2ft 0.2 itb
Anything obvious for the ft this week? Might lose silvs if he doesn't look good?Wow! There is not much to do with your 2 FTs.
altough if you are not planning to bring Aguero in soon I would just keep Silva but it could change tonight 🙂
It might seem like that but still languishing a bit.
Not having batkley has been particularly costly. It would be easy to give in but need to find some differentials somewhere and not sold on kun yet.Arnie is popular differential but still not sure about him.
Consistency is the question I think.
Sanchez getting fit would be interesting.Payet perhaps after next gw?
Very good suggestion.
Hope he comes back as good as before.
double City mid too much.
It really isn't. With bit of luck Silva could have had double digits aswell against Sunderland.
Was hoping for some short term fireworks to hoist me up the rankings. Who would you look to get in? Arnautovic too much of a short punt?
So...I have Walcott and Ramsey...watched Walcott miss chances while Ramsey barely got forward.
Last night's price rise means need a hit to get Ozil.
Would you take a hit or wait until after Newcastle?
Lesson learnt - don't hesitate to take hits for good players
Some players you just have to get and he is one.
Re-posting this at a more lively hour:
Has anyone done a fixture analysis for the second half of the season. First half of the season we had Everton's plum run of fixtures from GW11 (if I recall correctly).
I ask this because a lot of folk are waiting for the first DGW to use their Wildcard. However, if a strong attacking club, such as City (enter the Kun), features in that DGW wouldn't we want to use our Triple Captain Chip at that time?
I'm more inclined to use the Wildcard when fixtures turn so that I can set myself up for the final run of games.The way this season is going for me I'll be happy to finish in the top 200k
But... but... You're a fantasy football legend??? ;-(
Your time has to pass before you can be a legend.
My time has passed..
Lots of regulars are strugling but slowly rising atm. Few good captain choices shoots you up in rankings
Which player should I transfer out to bring Arnautovic in ?
A. Ramsey
B. CoutinhoCoutinho
Yep
If Coutinho gets a haul then no one will be selling him
I would stick with both atleast one gw
Madness to consider Walcott for captain again?
Mahrez, Ozil, Aguero and Lukaku ownerI'm the same. He had so many chances. Should have scored at least three. I'll captain him again I'm thinking. But Ozil is amazing
Agreed with Ozil, if Walcott wasn't so wasteful he and Ozil could have had about 50 points between them
Might happen next week though
I wouldn't. He isn't same anymore and might rotated with Ox
Ox for Campbell I'm thinking
Could be. I would play safe and captain Özil
Not madness but need to give serious consideration to the guys you've listed
Sometimes he looks like he can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo.
At least the chances are there to take.But we know he can explode
Fantasy football aside - how is everyone? Still enjoying the xmas break or back to work now?
Work from home this week and back to office on Monday. And you?
Although I can work from home it's only supposed to be used for emergencies so rather than take the mick I've come in today. Working up until New Years Eve then have New Years day off which is good.
Sucks to be back in work but at least I don't hate the job 🙂
Still on break until the 4th. Been very busy last few days but today I have taken time to myself and just chilled at home.
Still have to fly out in a couple days to visit my future in-lawsVery rarely in my working life have I been off over Xmas through to January, in fact I think only once has it happened. Hope you're enjoying it.
Family and food. What's not to love?!
How's your break been?Certainly eaten and drank too much but I guess that's pretty normal for Xmas! Break was good, fell nicely with the weekend straight after xmas.
Spent time with family and wasn't glued to my consoles so that's a good thing 🙂
Back to work and its faking freezing.
-11 celcius atm 😐-11 ! Ouch.
but atleast there isn't snow which is really strange considering time of the year.
but suites for me. I hate that white sh!t
Where are you?
In a Igloo 😀
We have a NY break here, xmas break is on Jan 6th! I believe its my last day at work here for next 2 weeks! Looking forward to the break!
2 weeks off! Lovely.
My ex-gf used to have a similar thing whilst working in a restaurant/hotel. Would have to work over xmas and NY but then it was a decent break as things quietened down.Yea, pretty happy. Helps that i also run the place! 😀
But, it wont actually be a break since i have to prepare the house for the kid i have on the way 🙂
Happy times!Good luck!
also back at work for a few days. Quite like the quietness of working right now
Wish I could say the same. All one big mess here.
Things that were good about coming in this morning - super quiet roads!
Things that were bad - shop was still shut and opening at a much later time. Had no money for bus so missus had to driveNice to be chauffeured in tho I guess!
I enjoyed my 5 minute cycle in 🙂
In the middle of a 3 week holiday in Asia 😛
Oh C'mon 🙁
Where excatly if I may ask?Vietnam. If it makes you feel any better it's raining today 🙂
Enjoy! 3 weeks off sounds like bliss
Nice! Still better than this freezing darkness
nice. I'm going to Myanmar for 3 weeks from Thursday 🙂
What needs addressing in this team?
Hennessy/gomes
Bellerin/Daniels/dawson/moreno/woschiled
Mahrez/Ozil/ramsey/Kdb/sterling
Vardy/lukaku/ighaloDaniels, if you only have one free then save it. Depending on tonight could have a lot more to think aby
Sell Vardy for Kane or Kun if he explodes tonight
If Kolv doesn't starts tonight. I am very tempted to sell him.
Whom would you get? I think Cresswell if fit.
My defence is
Ward
Wollscheid
Bellerin
Moreno.
Why not Bertrand?
He didn't even enter my thoughts.
Walker is another in leaning towards
Latest injury report at Goodison is not good for Barkley owners :/
A) Ross Barkley>Xerdan Shaquiri
B) Ross Barkley>Marco Arnautovic
C) Keep one more week then Ross Barkley>Dimitry PayetPayet I think
Scoutcast this gw?
**week not gw
You innit?
Not sure to be honest, probably depends on Granville
I think you should become one of the regulars
Thanks for saying but not quite there yet 🙂
Plus I need to improve before that happens I reckon
Any recommendations for this shambles:
Myhill McCarthy
Moreno Kolarov Ake Cresswell Simpson
Mahrez KDB Deulofeu Ramsey Walcott
Vardy Lukaku Aguero
Obvious one is Ramsey/Walcott -> Ozil but would need to free up funds elsewhere for that. Any other advice is welcome.
Anyone looked at the top of the FPL.league, cross referenced with the HOF and has some early favourites to win FPL?
Kuqi, you free for Balders' 2v2 comp?
Whats that?
Thanks for the link - have HT'd now
