Paul
Having kick-started our series of members articles focusing on each individual team over the 2015/16 season with a look at Arsenal, we now turn our attentions to Bournemouth.
First up we assess their team data, comparing the Cherries to the rest of the top-flight last term, before switching our targets to their first-team squad and assessing the main goal threats and creators over the campaign gone by, in a bid to get a view on their prospects for 2016/17.
£100m for Pogba is ridiculous. He's really good, has unreal potential but that sort of money is silly. Especially when you let him go for free
Verratti would cost half of that, and right now, is at least equal to Pogba
It's mourinho though
Could care less, just buy buy buy and leave when it gets tough
lol
The reason we failed in 15/16 was cos we did not buy decent players. Of course we signed the WORLD class Djiloshfhaji , League 1 player , Hector and a headless chicken in Pedro.
16th place in the league with Hazard, Fabregas, Costa, Willian, Matic, Pedro, Courtois, Oscar is because he couldn't buy players?
*fat Hazard , fat Costa , fat Fabregas
Yes
What an awful manager he must be then. 😉
Not signing decent players is absolutely not the reason why Chelsea failed
do you mean "couldn't care less"?
Verrati is a different kind of player and Pogba suits a Mourinho team much better.
Both fit any sort of formation he'd play.
Pogba suits a 4231 more than Verrati imo.
Also Pogba might replace Rooney as the £10 in due course of time..
Veratti won't be sold. And Pogba will be sold in 3 years at the same price 😉
And we manager to get Mkhi and Zlat combined for 26 so..
+ the ~20m or so they're getting in yearly wages.
Ibra on 300k p/w and Mkhi on 200k p/w
=26 million p/y
We'll make our sales.
And we got Adidas.
It was rough. Besides, everything I've read suggest Ibra's wages are not quite as high as that.
200k per week.
That's roughly what Mkhitaryan will be earning. Ibrahimović is on more like 250k according to journalists with ties to the club etc. It depends what source you read I guess, I choose to completely ignore the likes of Metro/Express/Sun/Star.
It's more like 22m p/y combined from what I've seen.
ESPN reports 200k. But then they are quoting the Daily Mail so he could be earning more.

Nothing ridiculous about it.
Market value.
Veratti not for sale
Letting him go previously ( not accurate) but doesnt effect Todays price.
Deaney is 40 million
Shows what's happened to football now that people think spending £100m on a player isn't ridiculous
Is it your money?
Its ridiculous that people get upset how others spend their money
We clearly have different views on a supposed working class sport
A working class sport? Maybe that's your problem there forehead.
This is pro sports. If you want working class sports go down to Hackney marshes.
It's rediculous when your lot was cursing city and Chelsea about buying success. Now look. Hard to take you serious:-)
13 million euros a year in wages, 5 year deal.
If the club can afford it and can spend the same amount next Summer then I don't really see the problem
Sorry, but Verratti is nowhere near Pogba's level. Nowhere near.
Why are you sorry?
They're completely different players tbh.
Verratti cant do what Pogba can do, Pogba cant do what Verratti can do.
Verratti is one of the best at what he does though, so 'nowhere near' is pushing it, imo.
£15m for Ibe hahaha I give up. Football is broken
A lot of money needs to be cleaned up.
This Roger guy... he could be one of YOU.
As Blackadder once memorably said:-
"Absolutely not, sir"
So what is all this about a Rami injury.
As an Umtiti owner it would hopefully suit me but it sounds overly hopeful for me.
L'Equipe are predicting to Umtiti to start is all I know.
Hmm. As Kevin Keegan would say I would Love it if Umtiti played.
He would replace a 1 pointer so it couldn't get much worse
Don't rate that Sky game!! Too small a variance in cost between top players, decent options, and this who are bobbins or never gonna play.
Hard to pick out any bargains.
Do I need to go 442 to be able to afford a reasonable team?
Nuke your defence and it all becomes a lot easier.
As in players who don't even play? Or the cheapest starters from relegation fodder?
Seems I'd have to nuke to that extent.
Appreciate your advice mate. Never played it before. Was gonna give it a go.
Best non-extortionate players from bottom half teams. It gives you a lot of scope to get whatever attackers you want really. This is my lot after a quick 20 play about:
Forster
Dawson, Smith/Cook, Nyom/Cathcart
Hazard, Mkhitaryan, Eriksen, Xhaka, Redmond
Ibra, Aguero
That helps a great deal!
Thanks Balders, as always!!
Ive found it very easy to get a strong front 7. just pick some cheap starting defenders.
No membership, No picture ? 😛
You can get a grav without being a member

Correct! And everyone should have one. There is no excuse
I thought he meant the article picture. May be wrong
We may never know. Or he may be away getting a grav
Yep! Away getting a grav. 🙂
Should be a grav of Tyler Durden though! 😐
Pay up then! The picture's lovely 😛

Shhhhhh, no boobs!!??
*Ahhhhhhh
More's the pity
Pardon?
Reports Valdes close to agreeing terms with Middlesbrough
guillem balague reported it and Valdes started following them on twitter or something like that
When you say it's gonna happen "now"
Well when exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
NEED FPL!!!
Patience Mr Cat. 🙂
Not that I have a clue but my guess would be next week.
A Mod has spoken.
has *let slip
am going back to my cave. cya next week.
Sadly I think you have it spot on.
I remember the season we got a bonus WC after week 1 because the site screwed up just before GW1 started. That was a good day especially for those of us who were sorted in advance and just got the benefit.
That was fun 🙂
+1 .
How did the site screw up?
I think it crashed for a few hours before deadline so people couldn't make changes.
It still kept everyone's GW1 scores though. It pays to be sorted early
They didn't keep the score, only from GW2-GW38.
GW1 score wasn't included
I wasn't playing then but I think that was 2011.
1. Chelsea
2. United
3. Arsenal
4. City
5. Spurs
6. West Ham
7. Soton
8. Everton
9. Leicester
10. Stoke
Most FPL points- Hazard
Top score- Aguero (26)
11. Liverpool?
Bit harsh on Klopp isn't it? Surely they will beat Stoke at least.
Yes.. Their biggest flop season yet.. Mark my words
Klopp the flopp at the Kopp?
Headline would be great
There is only one p in kop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0wj38qTtFU
But flopp is fine I suppose.
It was supposed to be a joke on Klopp's name.
Back to the drawing board I guess
I just like the Stannis grammar video and thought it was funny ? . You thought this was actual criticism ?
Not really no. But do it properly man!
With no Europe?
I won't be bookmarking this one as well. 😉
Vesinha has a great pair.
Vesnina*
Of balls?
Her opponent today is the one with the balls
A)socks
B)jeans
C)glasses
I can confirm that this claim is supported by google images
she didn't last long though, getting f***ed by a man
cf Jelena Dokic
mmmm
15 m for Ibe?
Someone's having a bubble bath and it aint the cherries
The world's gone mad. I think you can basically double last season's prices between English clubs.
Wilson. There's your 3rd striker spot right there. Or Grey maybe. Who else could be uber cheap?
Bojan, Wilson, Gray, Benteke
Maybe a Sothampton/ Swansea striker if they sign someone new
Abel Hernandez could be a dark horse
I'm all set on Wilson for sure.
van Persie.
Kerpow. Hope he signs. I can't see him being that pricey you know. 7.5 maybe. Or is that wishful thinking?
Hopefully, but I have a feeling FPL will go by track record and price him at around £9m.
I like Wilson but I am tempted by Gradel. It's all down to prices and whether Tekkers ends up at Palace
If Gradel plays in that second striker slot during pre-season then I agree, otherwise King might play there and still be good value when fit.
Would be a right kick in the nads if Conte managed to win the league with basically the same Chelsea team as last year
Very little improvement needed imo
If he wants to play 3-5-2 then I think a great WB is needed, otherwise a CM for when one of Matic/ Fabregas isn't up to scratch.
No Europe will be massive for them. They'll be right up there this season
I think if koulibaly joins and we got someone like Florenzi and maybe one more striker, we'll be fine.

Half chub just reading your post.
Full chub when it goes live this evening.
Last 6 years -
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday
Monday it is then!
This! after the Euro Finals
So with Chelsea chasing Messi, how much do we expect Messi to be priced in FPL
£15m
And i'd pay it.
This is a joke by the way but really what would he be priced at
14
Yep, I think 14 is what he'd be.
would you start Umtiti over Joao Mario's 3 points? on the off chance Umtiti keeps a cleansheet or scores/assists?
No
Wait for lineups - he probably won't start
Definitely not.
Aye can't see Umtiti starting
Hi in a dilemma need advice please.
Need to bench 2 out of these 4, who would you recommend
Boateng
Hector
Koscielny
Draxler
already have payet,pogba,greizmann from france
From germany already have Neur,Ozil,Muller
Plus 3 portugal who im keeping.
Any advice which 2 to bench from the 4 please.
cpl, EVE, MID, bou, WHM
if only WBA weren't managed by Pulis
#WelcomeJEvans
I was thinking more Rondon
He's not playing.
?
Foster or Dawson for me.
Should have trebled or quadraulped up on Portugese defence,. 35 from 4 is terrible
@FantasyFootyFix
Updates to FPL site. Must be imminent
😮 😀
3/4 chub right now...
Thursday 4 am
you mean Friday
Thursday 4am has been
Not in my country 😛
they say there are code changes
how do they know? sounds like guess work
Theyre running scrips behind the scenes.
I think they mean liniment
Any link to a spreadsheet that keeps tabs on pre-season friendlies?
the word imminent should be on the ban list
How about "Not long"?
They should ban it imminently
That's imminent at this stage.
Arsenal reportedly offering €50m for Draxler
Good business if they can get him,
No it's not. They could've gotten him last summer for less.
This doesn't make much sense.
Agreed, would much rather a quality striker was brought in than spending this much on a position where we have plenty of depth already.
Yup.
Also, we need a psychiatrist who can work his magic with the lads to get their mojo up and running. Xhaka in the middle helps with that a bit so intrigued to see how Arsenal perform in a big-ticket match 2 goals down. The desire and commitment is all too often lacking in the side.
Pogbaaaaa
Sorry bro, you can't have him. 🙂
there doesn't appear to be much value fixture wise in the cheaper (> 7m) strikers, at least fixture wise
Fixtures dont matter anymore, especially early season and for attackers if last season is anything to go by.
Away wins a plenty again i guess as nobody can break anyone down any more unless they counter
who do you have your eye on?
Cheap bracket probably Gray, maybe Ayew if hes made into a fwd and cheap.
You mean
< 7m I presume
Benteke could be gold if he goes to Palace early on. They have nice fixtures to start with
likely to be in my team but he'll be over 7m. Him, Aguero +1
a lot depends on Miki v Martial
Going by the Sky game prices these will be the four most expensive players in their category.
GK:
Ddg
Def:
Toby A
Mid:
KDB
Fwd:
Aguero
Do you think FPL will be the same? Keepers will be many in same bracket though of course
yeah I think all are decent shouts, KDB could be the wrong one, Sanchez probably more expensive
Yeah maybe, he wasn't great last season by any means though
I think DDG & Cech might be 6m, the rest 5.5.
Agreed on Toby, although Bellerin might be the same price.
Other two as expected.
Yeah probably.
Yes
DDG Courtois Lloris Cech 5.5
Smalling Toby 6.5
Sanchez KdB 11.0
Aguero 13.0
Agreed with this. Add Bellerin and Koscielny to the 6.5 defenders.
Bellerin?
Any chance Smalling's lack of attacking returns will keep him at 6.0
Any chance Smalling's lack of attacking returns will keep him at 6.0 ?
Sry bout that
I dont think so 🙁
Sanchez could be the most expensive mid but yeah pretty much.
I think DDG will be at 6m with a number of keepers like Hart and Courtois , Toby will probably be 6.5 with Smalling . I expect KDB and Aguero to be the most expensive in their brackets
I actually forgot about Sanchez I think he will be 11m too
What do we think about Mané, Nolito, Pedro, Willian ect?
Wont be most expensive for sure
What the heck is chub?
It's a fish.
One we don't have in Ireland that I wish we did 🙁
Same with Barbel and Zander... 🙁
I thought it was a new internet slang. 😮
Oh my.
Not mine, obviously.
It's hard to explain..
Not really hard you mean? 😆
😀
oh dear
my detective skills tell me you are not English
best not to ask!
I already regret it!
It means smile.
😆 😆
Borussia Dortmund defender Neven Subotic is in England for talks with four Premier League clubs.
Yess, more Serbs in PL. Would be nice if some PL club signs Mitrovic. The only bad thing is that king Kolarov is off. 🙁
you mean
Kolar-off
Good one!
Bellerin price 7? That would be my guess.
