We delve into the Gameweek data now in our first members article of the week. Amongst this evening’s topics for analysis are Liverpool, Stoke and Southampton’s midfielders, Swansea and West Brom’s frontmen, Man United’s full-backs and Palace’s summer signing with a penchant for a pot shot.
Will Ayew be price proteted now? Falling like a stone at -4.2%/h, and now projected to drop tonight (Fantasy Footbal Fix).
Price protection occurs when they change from red to fit. Now it just takes more transfers out.
OK, thanks for the clarification. I guess FFF might not take this into accoutn so he migh still not drop?
Currently got Mahrez and Costa but thinking I will move to move Hazard and Musa at some point and also pocket £1.5m.
Worth it?
Musa looked better when Okazaki came on.
Love this article, gladit's made a return (stillwaiting for a new keyboardwitha fixed spacebar so bear withme)
Think if Gray doesn't performthisweek thenRondon is looking good with his fixtures.
Would like Davies but Williams would have to make way and Davies fixtures not great.
Evening chaps,
Thinking Ayew to lamela or Barkley...
I think Barkley price will rise most but lamela may be a better option but is he nailed long term...
Which would you pick?
Lamela, for now.
If Lamela keeps scoring, he'll be nailed.
Question for members. What overall score do you typically aim for on rate my team? Sat on 309 at the moment. A couple of defensive tweaks would take me up to 316 and both would be straight in if I was to WC over the next 3-4 weeks. Just trying to work out what I should be aiming for on RMT?
311 for me. Get the WC out 😛
Don't let RMT make your decisions. A week ago Capoue was useless on RMT.
Cheers. Trying to mentally justify the membership! To be fair, it works quite well when comparing 4 or 5 players of the same value. Need to delve into the other tools on offer in the members area.
It's a good guide. Comparison tool, this article and stats table tell better stories.
It ok for looking at fixture rotation for defenders
It's ok for some of your minor places defs 4&5, mid 5 etc. But don't stake your house on it!
Just heard ayew out for four months. Wow. Tough on west ham. Tough on me too.
Who we all swapping him with. I'd like redmond but I have tadic.
Double up baby
Lamela or Barkley. Still cant fully decide. Been leaning towards lamela most of the day
It's a few weeks, not four months.
Sky news just said 4 months. Has to have surgery
WHU official
"Head of Medical and Sports Science Stijn Vandenbroucke has issued an update on Andre Ayew...He has suffered a significant injury.......is facing a significant rehabilitation period."
Chairmans son tweeted 4 months.
Sounds significant
Thats my FT plan booggered.
Panic sell incoming.
What about lallana
Have firmino.
Gone for Barkley me, just hoping he starts this season well like last.
Fixtures are kind also.
Someone save my good friend Ruben! 🙁 🙁 🙁
https://twitter.com/FootballMundiaI/status/766011183535120384?s=09
Poor kid 🙁
Love that passion. Shows his love to play and his love for the clubs. He always wants to perform. That attitude with his potential can mean good things for the kid.
Sky news just said up to four months I believe. Has to have surgery
Bottomed...
Ayew > Barkley or lamela?Currently on 60% lamela
I think lamela but I already have alli, who's the second choice?
Besides barkley!
You tell me 😉 ? Thinking Lamela in good form and will play higher up, bit those Everton fixtures... And then theres' Deulofeu, but will he get the minutes? Also throw Cazorla into that mix, could be a nice differerential
Barkley
I don't know. Injury gw1 throws out transfer plans typical FPL
Lamela
Who asked me to wink last night btw? 🙂
Me 😉
Franks out at the momentNaughty Scoutcast. Nobody does it better. Nobody.
Dont forget the kiss at the end
I don't know but I loved Granville turning on the TV half way through the Scoutcast 😀
He cracks me up. Kicking the bin last week lol.
Next week I want to see numerous Martial posters in the background
😆
What time was the bin kick last week?Serious question? 😀
Err.. Yes? It's my kind of funny!
The TV was classic watching him peer up as if no one could see him! 😆Glad to have Granville back though
Absolutely. I love his dulcet tones.
Im not sure mate tbh. Every time he kicked the bin it put the camera on him. It made me laugh anyway. 🙂
😆 The thought'll do me!
Who was the angry fella who kept getting wound up ?
Not sure - there seemed to be a couple.
I try to keep an eye on the comments but it's difficult to concentrate on both.
Someone asked me to wink though and I did and they never said anything!I think you should make it a tradition if any of you get over 100 points in a GW wear a suit again.
The suits were brilliantFair play 🙂 . I will have to watch it again just to see the wink . I switched it off with a few mins to go
Camera kept flicking on and off you at that point, might have missed you
Me! I didn't see you do it though 🙂
Play Williams (wba) or Friend (sun)
Cheers
Def Williams
I was leaning towards that option, cheers.
Me three
Given I'm WC'ing GW4, I feel like I can make 1-2 shrewd moves before then.
Who would be your priority to shift?
Kasper, Kone, Townsend, Vardy or Gray.
£1m ITB. I feel Townsend to someone like Siggy could be a great move. Not sure on shifting Vardy/Gray purely because I'm not particularly keen on anyone else.Townsend I would keep. Did great against West Brom. 6 shots, 3 on target and 2 key passes. Cut in a lot to shoot and Foster saved a few. Palace's best player and has potential to perform. I have him and hope he scores.
I would say shift Kasper if you plan to wildcard early. Possibly to Stekelenburg if they don't get Hart? Gray to Negredo possibly is another option.How do you know you need to wildcard in GW4?
Is it true mane suffered muscle injury?? Sky sources reckon so???
Why didn't you just type ''Mane injury'' into google ?
Coz I can't chat Google. Can on here.
Chat Google. Get Banged.
Chat Google, Get Binged more like
Wahey.
Because cluttering up the comments page makes more sense.
I pay good money to clutter up the comments page
May still play vs Burnley.
Check the tweets on the home page. If anything happens re fpl it goes up there straight away. Only source you need.
This. Join twitter and set up notifications to appear on your mobile direct from FFS
It's true and there's no helpline either!
See Scout Twitter feed. Mane is fine long term but is a slight doubt for ManU match.
Burnley?
You're late.
He signed for Liverpool in the summer.
Haha omg
Restricted ffs! I think Sigurdsson will have a great weekend.
Mane can't play for next gw? :((
Sh it
I just transferred in him this week !!!!!!!Might play seemingly
Punishment for the early transfer
Yep
Training ground injuries are hard to plan for - regardless of "early" transfers or not. An element of being unlucky there. It's one thing to make a transfer Monday before a player has played midweek in Europe, but Liverpool don't have a midweek game...
Looks like Vardy is runaway capt choice this week. The Hub poll which started after the champions league match has Aguero on 55% and Ibrahimovic only on a measly 12% did not expect it to be quite that low
Aguero (need edit button)
I'm sticking with Aguero.
He scored a hattrick last night.Steau were terrible though.
Suppose goals = confidence thoughExactamumdo.
I've got a feeling Ibra will light it up on home league debut.
I think will too, but I don't own him 🙁
Hoping Martial can get to some of the rebounds!
Hi all, been away for a few days - what is the concensous on Vardy to Ibra for a FT (and should I press the button tonight or do I have another day of deliberation before the prices change)? Cheers!
Stick it out
Do it instantly x
No consensus. I'd hold unless you just have to grab Ibra.
Want to give Vardy another week as feel he may be really up for Arsenal game. But against that Ibra much higher ownership and perhaps safer option at this early stage. I have 1.5 m in bank and if Ibra looks like going up will make me do move before deadline
Drink too much first, then if it all goes wrong you can blame it on the beer.
Love that there's a Friday game, shame there wasn't one every week. 1 Friday, 6 Saturday, 2 Sunday, 1 Monday would be great. I know there's around 10 this season but every week would be better.
Agreed. I work Friday night, I could watch it.
Aguero to have an easy midweek game now or even a rest?
No chance. We are two weeks into the season.
Guess he needs to get through the Stoke game 1st.
He shouldn't play next week though. We are 5-0 up at home. Play the back ups.
As hard as it is I have to drop either Friend or gray this wk.
Which one.?Easy one.
Silly question
Is it??
What are people's thoughts on holgate? Coleman is supposed to be out for a few weeks. Is his position in jeopardy with Williams coming in or will he move to rwb?
Well he's been superb so far so you never know. Only Koeman knows.
I have Williams but would like the extra 0.5 to afford Ibra. Do you think he has a decent shot at playing for a few more weeks?
I reckon he will play until Coleman comes back and maybe even beyond. It's risky buying him though, especially this week. If both him and Williams play this week that's the likely team going forward.
If Mane isn't fit, would Tadic be a solid replacement if I'm looking for an early wildcard? Good stats and seems to be on the brink of getting points. Watford after the United game. Or is Sterling the better option?
Sterling is at risk of rotation. Tadic isn't
Baines is dead. Long live James Milner.
Penalty-taking left-back. 😳He's still a midfielder.
No thanks.
There's no fooling this lad, eh!
Quick opinion on Kane captain this week lads? 🙂
He's due.
0 shots vs Everton. So probably.
Kun for me.
Will probably outscore Kun and Ibra this GW, but fear factor says stick with Kun. Vardy to beat them all though.
I have Vardy, Kane and Kun! 😛
As do I 🙂 Tried to be clever last GW with Vardy(c) ... so will play it safe with Kun this GW
I would if I had him.
You guys are really tempting me! 😀
I wouldn't
Do it.
Anyone else just see what happened at the Mcgregor/Diaz press conference 😆 wtf
Idiot (Connor)
I think it was Nate and his cronies being idiots
you'll do nuttn! Throw your cokes. End of presser.
Staged? Nate's antics seemed calculated at least... Getting a little too wwe for my liking!
Dont think it was staged on Conors part but definitely seemed like Nate had a plan to do something like that. Probably trying to wind conor up to make him throw nothing but bombs all first round again and tire himself out
Well, it'll sell more tickets at least fwiw
play McAuley (EVE) or Friend (@sun)? Got Foster as GK.
Friend then.
Friend
You got a friend.
Well, Friend it is then.
Feghouli > Ramirez? good move or give him time, save FT & play Capoue (CHE)
@Timbo..
My favourite moment was the very beginning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpJ1n1xp4X4
Jonty and Granville both saying hello at the same time! 😆
who will score more points? Is there a clear winner?
1. Costa + Erikson
2. Ibra + Redmond
2
1
1
2 imo
My front 8 at the moment are:-
Firmino - Redmond - Deulofeu - Tadic - Fletcher
Aguero - Vardy - Gray
I'm struggling on whether to stick for another week or change.
I'm worried about not having any ManU front guys.
What does everyone think? Shall I stick or:-
A - Gray > Rooney
B - Deulofeu > Martial
C - Gray & Fletcher > Ibrahimovic & Snodgrass
D - Fletcher & Gray > Martial & Diomande
Thanks in advanceI say save.
Thanks mate, think I'm leaning that way now.
B without a doubt if it's for free.
Yeah it's free
You have 3m ITB?
Yeah, I was happy with the mid priced midfielders and wanted money to make a move if needed
i would spend it, especially now that Bolasie is at Everton and Lukaku probably fit.
Deulofeu is popular around here but he lacks the end product in my opinion and competition from Barkley, Mirallas, Bolasie, Lukaku, and to a lesser extent Kone, Lennon, etc. for points (and playing time) discourages me from him long term...
Martial is locked in on that left hand side and should have a nice season.Thanks for that. I think I may have got caught up with how well he played in pre season. Would you do a straight FT of Deulofeu to Martial and at least spend my 100m haha
That's what I would do. Straight FT. I am trying to find a way to bring Martial into my midfield in the short term but no route currently as my front 8 is as follows and would require a -4 or removing Hazard, which I am not interested in doing...
Hazard - Firmino - Tadic - Redmond - Capoue
Aguero - Ibrahimovic - GrayI like that team. Everyone in my league has Ibrahimovic, I'm wondering if I should bring him in. I have DeGea and Velencia already so can't have Martial and Ibrahimovic.
I hate it when I doubt myself
First time ever though. I normally always spend 100M
Save
Wow, has on of your players Gray & Fletcher doubled in price overnight or you have the 5mn itb?
Im seeing 6.5->9 6.5->9.5 11 ->15+ 11->14
Id be on A+c for a cool+7mn TV if its for freeNo just 3M ITB, I did have Marhrez in but last minute though you know what I will give Deulofeu a go and just left the 3M ITB. I feel I need to spend it now haha. I'm leaning toward Martial
