The current lull in Euro 2016 action allows us to focus on domestic matters once again as we roll out the first in a series of pre-season members articles that evaluate the performance levels of each individual team over the 2015/16 campaign.

Kicking off with Arsenal, we analyse the team data to get a perspective on their season in comparison to 2014/15 in a bid to spot trends and improvements. We then focus on their squad, assessing goal threat and creativity for all the key individuals in a bid to put some priority on potential targets for the forthcoming campaign.

    If you can't switch captains (playing another fantasy game),

    who would you go with:
    CR7-Bale-Griezzman?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bale

    2. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ronaldo

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ronaldo

    4. Azzuri_Buddy
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Was leaning towards CR7 as well.
      thanks guys.

      another one,

      Gotze or Draxler?

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Gotze

  2. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Probably going to be my team layout:

    5.0+4.0
    6.0+5.5+5.0+4.0+4.0
    11+10+7.5+6.5+4.5
    13+7.5+6.5

    Aguero, KDB, Mkhitaryan. Bit much?

    1. I Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Think there will be two 4.0 playing defenders?

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Nope. 🙂

      2. Play Pal

        It happened last year, probably will again through injury in the weaker teams.

        1. Ziegler1988
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          The only 4.0m that started from GW1 was Targett

          1. I Member
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Oxford but he didn't last long.

            1. Play Pal
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Oxford and Targett were the two which I had in mind, I believe there was also one from Watford who didn't last long either.

      Bit much without the prices.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Meh, I'm bored. 🙂

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd downgrade a mid and upgrade a striker.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        If anything that defense needs upgrading

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      😆 Why bother without a player list?

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Because I'm bored. 🙂

    4. Epic Fail

      It won't be your layout.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Probably won't but hey I can pretend that I'm ahead of the game 😉

    5. Zizoulicious
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Only if there are two playing 4.0 defenders, probably won't be though

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Might not go for a playing bench this year

  3. Ayew Serious

    I'm loving that most posts are about fpl again

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 11 Years

      Best time of year for good discussion with proper ffs posters and no RMTs being spammed everywhere?

        Or just with yourself

        1. Ayew Serious

        Not long until prices are out and RMTs rule.

  4. Zizoulicious
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else reckon W.Ham's home form could suffer by moving away from Upton Park?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Aye, it could.

    2. samaael
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      form could drop but it will be nothing to do stadium change

  5. zon
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Griezmann vs. Ronaldo. No brainer?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep.

    2. KingNidge
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

      1. zon
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ronaldo it is.

    3. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I have both but i'd pick Griezmann; Germany is very solid in defense but Griezmann's form is undeniable.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        No brainer.

  6. Club de Wahlina

    My team
    Patricio Lloris
    Hector Williams Cedric Guerrerio Rami
    Draxler Özil Sanches Payet (Ramsey)
    CR Bale Griez

    Player changed in: Patricio, Cedric, Williams, Özil, Greiz, Sanches
    I have 2m left in the bank, any possible upgrades?
    Cheers

        Weren't they supposed to launch the new design today?

          The normal FPL site was launched yesterday.
          The fantasy FPL site is still to open.

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            True. It gets pretty annoying at peak times just before the season starts

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              You should really try to have it sorted by Friday night at the latest.

              1. Cheeseoid
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                Is the first match on a Friday night? I forgot we have Friday night games this season

                1. TorresMagic™
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights

                  10 years, 1 month ago

                  Not sure. In that case Thursday night.

                  1. Cheeseoid
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 14 Years
                    10 years, 1 month ago

                    I would think I will be well sorted by then.

                    I wonder how Friday night fixtures might affect the game. Do we lose a fixture at some other point do you know?

                    I would love it if we lost the Saturday morning fixture instead

                    1. TorresMagic™
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • Has Moderation Rights
                      • 17 Years
                      10 years, 1 month ago

                      There will be 10/11 games on a Friday from memory.
                      Could just lose a 3pm game instead so it doesn't slow down the tv money.

                      1. Cheeseoid
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 14 Years
                        10 years, 1 month ago

                        Shame. I usually sleep through the Saturday morning fixture so it would have been nice if that went for me.

                        On a match day it is so much harder to stay asleep so I normally end up lying in bed with the radio on and being sleep deprived at night

                        • 12 Years
                        10 years, 1 month ago

                        Sky has the early Saturday fixture now and I'm pretty sure it's an almost every week deal

                        I suspected as much but I can dream

                    2. Ziegler1988
                      • 12 Years
                      10 years, 1 month ago

                      There are 10 Friday night matches in the season and they'll most likely be instead if Monday nights that week. Later in the season maybe 6 matches televised

          Also Coleman or who ever is on the other side at Everton def could be great to have at start.

    Those with wildcards, are you using it now or keeping for the final?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years

      Some are using now and some are keeping for the final.

    2. Mrm9m
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Surely its the best time to use it ? .. You get 8 FT for the final so you only need 3 players to reach it from the semifinals..

      1. Fergietime
        • 10 Years

    Are press conferences changing? With the deadlines being Friday nights if press conferences take place the same day it doesn't leave a lot of pondering time.

    1. KingNidge

    3. The Glory Hunters
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I have got myself into a situation where I don't know the final standings to pay out in my private league. Top 3 shouldn't be a problem - but the manager of the month is going to be more difficult. It's going to be an honesty system - I really should have taken screenshots at the end of the season. Lesson learnt!!!!

    Who do you guys believe the priority is in terms of strikers, i.e. which of the four teams to drop?

    I currently own Muller and Bale. Lukaku to transfer out.

    Leading rival by 20 points and they have Giroud - therefore feel I need to get him to cover.

    Also surely Ronaldo is the captaincy option for day 1?

    Therefore Thinking of getting both Giroud and Ronaldo, replacing Lukaku and Muller. Have 6 players out to replace (incl. Ramsey) but if I go with this strategy will just leave the banned Ramsey in. But Muller looks a good option also?

    Thoughts?

      He didn't seem too happy in his presser but I'd imagine all fans are happy, his CV speaks for itself. Probably a short term fix at best

        Honestly, they do need a short term fix. They weren't anywhere good under Moyes and LvG, but I am sure Mourinho going there has filled the club with confidence. Even if it's short term, they are making really good signings that'll help them now to get a hold back into the PL.

        Hate to say it, I hate seeing him at a rival club.

      You are 5 million over budget 😉 . I think I made a mess of ''our team '' in the Euro's I forgot the deadline and it's now around 3k which is poor by your standards 🙂 . I am avoiding Palace wingers I am worried about rotation and the number of mins they will get Zaha etc could come off the bench after 70 mins . Apart from that it's grand .

  22. Bøwstring The Carp

    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone think that they might scrap the chips (or at least AOA) and introduce a captaincy change ability similar to UFPL this year?

    Would make sense considering:

    1) UFPL has been cancelled and
    2) Friday games are starting, giving potentially three days of choices

    Not sure how this would work in a DGW though, i.e. I presume if you wanted to change your (c) you couldn't change to another DGWer since he would have already played one of his games, but if he played his first game of the DGW on the Sunday there wouldn't be any reason that you couldn't swap, right?

    Just a thought anyway, would explain why Mark Rogers was talking about a bug in the initial launch. Servers might need to be upgraded to account for huge rank changes when people change (C).

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      1 chip cancelled. 2 more added.

        I think it would be interesting to see how casual the casual players really are

    3. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years

      Actually 4 days of choices if you include MNF*

    4. Epic Fail

          No chips.
          Back to either 1 WC or the season WC + jan WC.
          Man in the stand Baps.

          Basically just roll it back a few years.

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            - Keep 3C and BB chips but extra points not counted in H2h leagues
            - Prefer that second one
            - No. Last year baps system was the best ever

            1. Epic Fail
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              In reality the new baps system is better, I just prefer that we didn't know who would get the baps until it was updated, unless Charlie Adam was playing. Got some good discussions going.

              1. S.Kuqi
                • 13 Years

                Yeah. Waiting for those baps were part of the fun

    5. UnitedFan

      Would hate the ability to change captaincy. Takes some of the skill out of the game to a certain extent. Captaincy success that not a lot of people might have is a big part of FPL, as are captaincy fails.

    6. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Terrible game if that happens. Captains Poll and FPL Discovery stats are close to useless.

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        True but just adds a different element to the game like UFPL, Fantasy CL, Fantasy Euros and WC

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          The element of skill disappears.

          1. I Member
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            this

          2. Bøwstring The Carp
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Is it really skill though?

            You can pick Aguero (C) one week and he blanks, doesn't necessarily mean when he scores it was skill

            I think I'd like it for the simple reason that I always have 2 players I want to captain and I know one will shine between the two of them. One might be a punt/ differential, other might be a solid heavy hitter. At least with the ability to change to a different day it helps that dilemma.

            But ultimately I think most of the game is luck but for a few aspects

            1. I Member
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              You just described exactly why it takes away the element of 'skill'. You can call it luck if you want but obviously it's easier to getlucky if you have two or three shots at it as opposed to one.

              1. Bøwstring The Carp
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                I'm saying picking a successful (C) isn't skill it's luck, chance, probability, etc.

                Take last season for example. The stats were there for Aguero one week and showed decline for Kane another week. You'd (C) Aguero and he'd blank while Kane went on a bender.

                Anyone who claims picking Kane (c) during those times was skill is a liar. It was a 50/50 split that paid off, i.e. luck.

                1. I Member
                  • 11 Years
                  10 years, 1 month ago

                  That may be true but having multiple chances to pick a captain clearly increases your chance/probability of getting a good score. It makes it easier.

                  1. Bøwstring The Carp
                    • 14 Years
                    10 years, 1 month ago

                    Can't argue with that

                    1. Bøwstring The Carp
                      • 14 Years
                      10 years, 1 month ago

                      Yet you could say the same about Wildcards in the sense that they give you another stab at creating a team and making it easier.

                      Either way I'm just excited for the season to be back and see what's in store

                      1. I Member
                        • 11 Years
                        10 years, 1 month ago

                        Yeah, and it would be terrible if you got 4 wildcards a season.

                      2. TorresMagic™
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • Has Moderation Rights
                        • 17 Years
                        10 years, 1 month ago

                        Same for every and you only have a limited time/number of WCs compared to changing captain every GW if necessary. Casuals would be stuck with their original choice.

                      3. Bøwstring The Carp
                        • 14 Years
                        10 years, 1 month ago

                        In fairness though casuals are casuals because they don't log in but for now and then

                        They could still prosper. Greed is in a lot of people's nature. How many would sacrifice (C) Aguero's 5 points for someone who plays the next day. I'd say a fair few.

                        And let's imagine there wasn't Friday/ Monday football, would you welcome the (C) change if it was just for the Saturday/ Sunday?

                      4. TorresMagic™
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                        • 17 Years
                        10 years, 1 month ago

                        Nope, still need 2 good choices on separate days whereas I could focus on 1 day especially if only 1/2 Sunday games where I wouldn't want any players from those games.

                2. TorresMagic™
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 17 Years
                  10 years, 1 month ago

                  May as well get rid of the captain aspect if you could get multiple shots at it.

            2. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 17 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Ville Ronka disagrees.

              Having 4 captains in a GW would be a joke. Picking Aguero is more about spending 13m or whatever on a captain and the low odds for him to score. Your 2 main players could be playing on the same day anyway.

              1. Bøwstring The Carp
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                But even a 13m player will blank throughout the season, makes a nice change from Aguero/ Kane dominating the (C) polls to see what players people are willing to punt on as a second choice if/ when they fail

                1. TorresMagic™
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 17 Years
                  10 years, 1 month ago

                  It's hardly a punt when you have a 2 pters to replace as captain. The game would be about picking players for each matchday like the Euros in case of a captain fail rather than just 11 + a captain.
