We delve into the Gameweek 2 data this Wednesday evening in the first members article of the week. Man United and Sunderland’s new midfielders impress on their first starts, Eden Hazard and Harry Kane’s contrasting fortunes arrive under analysis, whilst Michail Antonio thrives on his return to the Hammers’ flank.
to whoever has any goalkeeping partnership, just play the one who think is least likely to keep a clean sheet, this tactic works like a charm
As someone who has a Foster-Heaton combo and got it wrong in both GWs, this advice isn't far from the truth.
You and me both, brother. Going Foster this week. Which means Heaton will make 9 saves, keep a CS and maybe save a pen or score
Quite true, Jaku did well last week though. Not gonna quibble over 3 extra points from Heaton.
PVA could well be the first name on my WC team.
Lol
Seriously, he's been playing like a man possessed and the most goals the calendar year is no fluke. Okay, it was merely the mighty Shrews tonight but he's pretty much the best Black Cat for their impendinf battle this season. Let's not forget what Moyes did for Baines too...
Same here. Alongside Pieters and Adam Smith.
mmm less convinced by those two. I know SUN's defence is on a par with BOU n STO it would seem but Patrick is steamrolling forward.
Smith is very attacking also and has nice bonus potential. Pieters with those fixtures...
Cheers man, will keep an eye out. Traditionally liked Stoke's defence and Pieters could supersede Wolly's baps.
PVA was Sunderland's most dangerous player in the last match, could've scored two
He was, far more exciting to have than Stones...
Not seeing many clean sheets and that's a problem. If he achieves his last seasons 6 goals, it's a success. Surely tempting thou.
Who gets more points by end of season- Ozil or Townsend?
I'd imagine this one's petty clear...Townsend.
is this a serious question?
Trying to gauge Townsend hype.
I've looked at him given the fixtures but honestly, whilst he could grab a haul here and there, constantly firing like Coutinho does from 30 yards does absolutely everyone's head in, not least his owner's and team mates to boot.
And fpl owners. But their schedule and Benteke coming in..
Perhaps find a better comparison.
Yes..but wanted to see if someone would argue for Townsend enough over the likes of Ozil..and if multiple people did..then maybe the hype is real... I'm obviously on the fence for bringing him in..also considering Benteke coming in and a good schedule.
Loic Remy...Now that could be exciting if he joins WHU.
Agreed. How fit is he though?
best 4.5ish defender?
Holding set to start this weekend?
Very likely, no one signed and Chambers might be loaned out.
Only Arsenal could consider loaning out a defender when they have an injury crisis in defence.
I'm lost for words. The only thing that potentially put's my trust back into Wenger's sanity is the poem "If" by Kipling.
Thoughts on the following transfers for s draft league / long term?
Friend and Azpil ----------> Williams and Terry
Not worth it long term because of Terry, Friend and Azpi are the bonus kings, couldn't ask for 2 better season keepers than those.
Williams is as well though, no?
Yep but Terry may still lose his spot, if it was after the transfer deadline and you asked and Chelsea still hadn't signed a CB, I'd have said go for it but as its a long term move to be done now, id say the first 2 are safer as it stands.
Nay
Foster Jakupovic
Valencia *** Stones *** Amat
Hazard *** *** Redmond Capoue
Aguero *** ***
VVD Kone Oscar Firmino Gray Vardy (OUT)
Williams M.Wilson Ozil Bolasie Benteke Ibrahimovic (IN)
Could end being the only 6 changes on my wildcard. Reckon it was worth it?
Yep
I'm gunna start calling you Jinswick soon mate lol
Ha, got a slight deep inner regret at Wildcarding so early mate, kinda wish I just took a hit and got Ibra for now. West Ham and Arsenal, the 2 best teams fixtures wise have still got transfers to be done.
A lot have wildcarded already and It's likely the majority of the rest will be following suit in the next week or two so i wouldn't worry about that.. very few start perfectly i went without Aguero for 2 weeks anticipating a slowish start and he bent me clean over lol
Exactly the same as me with Ibra lol, that's why I figured it's best to react quick and sort the problem immediately. The real winners were those who started with both.
Well this is true they have stolen a march to an extent but nothing major.. i was dead set against both and kind of still am but with Kane Lukaku etc firing blanks i was left with no choice.. will look at it again on WC
They'll both blank this GW. It's inevitable. GW average 27.
Always the way matey
Who's M.Wilson Jay? Stoke defender @ 4
Moved to Bour (Ithink)
Ok interesting thx
He's a Bournemouth defender now, scored in the League Cup tonight.
Reckon he becomes a regular mate?
I'm not a fan of that defence Jay imo
Also some risks going with Ozil/Bolasie/Tekkers
Personally I hope so, that would put Francis back at right back. Adam Smith is good going forward but can get caught upfield on counter attacks, and he's a bit short for a full back too. Not sure that Eddie Howe sees it that way though.
Ok thanks mate 🙂 I need a 4.0 filler and have Amat already so worth a go I'd say.
allo mate 🙂
Allo 😉
Check your email
Got it thanks - looks a good idea!
No probs. Have a browse and see what you think..
was all set to do firmino >> barkley tonight with my FT but friend might be injured
A: go ahead as planned
B: go ahead and take a hit on def if need be...back up def are pieters kone
C: wait..and rather do kone >> baines
I think you've got to sort out the defence without a hit.
Advice needed... Trying to keep Man Utd and Arsenal cover in defence but maybe B could let me upgrade Zaha to Bolasie and get Everton defensive cover for their kind run of fixtures..
A. Cech - Shaw - Holding - Zaha
or
B. De Gea - Williams - Holding - Bolasie
Go without a 5.5 GK imo Foster/Heaton provide better value.
Bring that money to attacking full backs or bap magnets
Walker/Shaw/Valencia/Bellerin etc
Itchy finger. Won't have missed out on too many price changes should I pull the trigger now...
Do it.. have no regrets
Don't WC on a Wednesday night. Give it until Saturday night at least. You know it makes sense.
The real Ser Davos wouldn't wildcard on a Wednesday.
Okay chaps, taken a deep breath and held thy steady hand. Cheers
Hazard or Aguero captain?
This is my dilemma too, decide to go out with a bang on Haz before int break, or play safe with Aguero against a currently weak'ish West Ham. I'll probably end up going Aguero.
The one you think will score the most points.
Aguero for me. Especially this early with ownership and form.
Get a grav and join in by offering advice to others as well as asking questions, say please and thank you too. Welcome to FFS and good luck 🙂
What a lovely man.
I aim to please 😉
Aguero
Aguero by miles
Always Kun if healthy ... All the more when he's home
Just see that Mannone elbow is only bruised and not broken. That puts a spanner in the works of that 8.0m GK combo.
8 mill pairing GK is never a good idea Jay
Was flirting with Pickford and Jakupovic. Glad now though, Foster is comforting at the back.
Agree with that.
Seeing that Firmino is close to dropping, it may be time to move him on, but who for?
A) Townsend
B) Sterling (already have Aguero)
C) Antonio
D) Pogba
E) Coutinho
F) Any other suggestion
Already have Barkley and Redmond.
On the same boat, Townsend is my first choice.
Stats looking good for Pogba and Sterling I'd be taking a punt on one of these two.
My other suggestion would be Lamela
If somehow I can get Ozil, would he be above Pogba and Sterling due to Arsenal's incoming run of fixtures?
I think so.
I'd be going Tadic if I had a FT, but i'm sticking with Firmino.
Bojan is straight in my GW5 WC! 😀
I would love a Stoke defender, also.
Ahhh..... Just logged in.
Friend - 75% chance of playing
Evans - 75% chance of playing
??????
They are injured.
Will they play? Looks like i might have to play Pieters away to Everton!
Too soon to tell, but If history is any judge, I'd assume Evans will be out
Zasa is very close to West Ham according to Di Marzio
Don't believe that to be honest. Hopes it's true though, would be nailed in my team.
12 month loan with a €28m buying option apparently. All signs are looking that it will happen, Bilic bigging him up and confirmed interest, spoke with Bilic today too.
* Zaza, our very own 'Zasa' may be fond of West Ham, but I dunno what that's got to do with Di Marzio 🙂
Could be nice although he isn't really prolific
Yh i prefer Remy or Bony for real and FPL
price changes in 1 hour?
Most likely.
Yeah around there
So my defense is a mess but I'm not taking a -4 to sort it out.
A: Shaw Stones Pieters (Friend Kone)
B: AOL and play Capoue
AOA*
This is what AOA was made for 🙂
I think I'm thinking that way.
Using it at any point in the season seems like such a gamble anyways.
A
A
Thanks for the responses.
Can't seem to choose between Aguero and Ibra for the armband. Anyone got any points that will help choose one over the other?
In Kun I trust, always
Captain sensible, usually a members only article out on Friday at 5pm usually is great, although you can find it on FPL site or Twitter on Thursday evening nowadays most probably.
Truly sad.
Kun is home and Zlatan is away. While I think Hulls good form won't last long, I won't bet against a healthy, in form Kun
For those with both Friend and Firmino, who do you transfer out first?
Keeping both and saving the FT. If you must, it depends on your bench defenders
Thanks for the advice. Will probably resist and hold.
Other defenders are Valencia Stones Williams Amat, should be alright.
Yeah, first 3defenders are great options this week. No need to worry
Keep your Friend
Don't get too comfortable with your teams, there's plenty more change coming round the corner. One more week of data >
Hear hear
Sitting on my hands. I'll take the - 0.1 on Booby F on the chin.
Vardy
eh?
Vardy dropped 0.1 too. 🙂
I sold Vardy for Costa pre GW2. So far so good!
Got your mail - cheers for that.
No prob
I plan on keeping 7 players forever so I'm getting pretty comfortable
You'll be lucky to get through a season with 3+
Really? Ibra Aguero Hazard Walker Stones Shaw and maybe Negredo all seem like good options who have the ability to do good every week.
Indeed but injuries, DGW's, chasing/shadowing ML players mean more change than expected
Thats true. I completely forgot about DGWs. May have to change my game plan
Not at all, thats what the second WC is for 😉 the majority are usually around like gw 28-36 so definitely no harm in ignoring them for a while
Haha forgot about that too! As long as my players don't get injured i should be good for the next couple weeks
Kun, Zlatan, Hazard, Foster, Jaku, Valencia/Shaw, Capoue ?
That basically it, but Walker instead of Foster and Stones instead of Capoue
Nacho injured prob means more kun playtime = more goals 🙂
Or it could mean more playtime = more likely to get injured
He just tweeted that he's ok
Had a play around with a WC team - I can't see anyway of bringing Payet/Mahrez into a team that has Hazard, Kun and Ibra in it. Not enough funds....
Can't have em all man 🙂
I wouldn't say Mahrez is a must have though, wouldn't pick him up unless he shows last seasons form at least.
If you didn't have Kun and Ibra from the start, it could be difficult, but not impossible.
Foster, Jaku
Shaw, Stones, 4.5, 4.5, 4.0
Haz, Payet, Redmond, Bolasie, Capoue/4.5
Kun, Ibra, Ronon/6.5
Oh (oops) Friend & Evans are flagged and I will have Amat vs. Leicester.
Any recommendation for 4.5m or 4.0m DF please.
Souaré ?
Love?
Marc Wilson ? -> Just noticed that he's moved to Bournemouth.
Hold tight. Especially if you've made a FT already.
I'm a bit lucky to have 2 FTs now. I think it might be a good chance to re-consider 4.5m + 4.5m or 4.0m + 5.0m DF.
Amat & Williams?
oops you already have Amat
Yeah, I think Williams with 4.0 look better than two of 4.5m. But I'm not sure if there are any other nailed 4.0m DF apart from Amat.
Holding
Thank you 🙂
I might end up with Amat coming on as well, just gunna roll with him. It would be mad to spend 4 points on what would need to be a clean sheet (plus swansea conceding) just to break even.
Definitely agree that -4 is not justified.
What if you have 2 FTs?
hmm, they should both be very short term injuries (although evans is likely to be injured on and off a lot). if you're planning to keep friend long term i would probably save the FT. if you're happy to part ways with him then go ahead and make a swap, but it would have to be for a 4.5.
Maybe Smith, Mee. Not too many good options honestly.
Thank you. 🙂
Holding, Olsson
Firmino to who?
I want Mane, but not for the next 3 games. Already have Lamela, Hazard and Redmond
Most are going Barkley. I'm sticking for now
He just fits in nicely
I'm same as Swan, sticking. But Barkley is the obvious shout. If you're adamant about changing him out then Everton coverage seems the way to go.
Is Janssen really gunna keep him spot in the spurs first team? 2 up front really?
Thoughts on this?
If I was on a WC I'd probably take a punt on him
Thoughts on Antonio while on a WC with those west ham fixtures coming up?
would avoid for now. Only consider Payet from West Ham
Decent pick.
If he's definitely off defensive duties, 7.0m after the City game is worth a look.
Better option about at 7 I think..
Holy sh*t these price drops... I'll be lucky to have 90M by the end of the week. I just want to make it to Saturday to Wildcard.
Silva to Barkley with my FT or save and go into international break with 2FT?
