Time to roll out our first post-Gameweek delve into the 2017/18 members’ data and assess some of the stand-out performers over the opening round of matches.
Tottenham’s top scorer misses chances aplenty as the transfers-out pick up pace. Man City’s front two and Liverpool’s summer signing from Roma arrive for analysis, while Chelsea and Palace’s left wing-backs also make the cut thanks to forward-thinking performances.
Lovren is extremely attacking.. Almost always gets his head on their corner kicks. Much more nailed also
Any 4.5 defenders to replace Hegazi?
That's how the play this game. Probably won't score again and rotation risk or total bench risk. Wait for the second rise though
Suttner for me at that price.
What happened to Hegazi?
lol
He's got a healthy bandwagon that isn't sustainable and will be ready to be cashed in on after his second price rise
So we have our first 4.0 defender in Mbemba. Might downgrade PVA to free up funds for Mikhi
He won't stay long as a starter though.
A maybe not Lovern maybe more nailed. Heard he was the best again in CL though
B Definitely Son
Fail to condiddy
why
I mean fail reply to you.
If asking why to Son his stats are off the charts - some more minutes and he is such value at 8
Anyone got link to Marks team?
Reckon Mark might have changed his mind on subs
Mark already had a hit it seems.
Yeh has done Valencia and Zaha to Jones and Mykhitaryan
If he'd done that he'd have an extra 0.2 ... I think he's gone rogue and got rid of Kaku. I don't know how else to explain the figures.
Yeh your right it doesn't add up.
Look at his GW history. He has gained 0.3 from Salah, Lukaku and Mkhitaryan. The points page doesn't update TV immediately.
Thanks
Did not know his history over he years was that good. Impressive.
Benching headache with two 4.5m players , ridiculous hahaha.
If Carroll is one of them, then it shouldn't be a headache.
No Mee And TAA
Play me.
Yeah, that's a tough one. I'd lean TAA due to corners and a little bit of attacking threat, but West Brom at home looks like a solid 6-pointer for Mee.
Hmmm. That is a tough one. I'd probably back TAA because of the threat he's shown, but Burnley at home to a crap attacking side looks like 6 points for Mee.
Start RLC ahead of Tarroll
Can someone please clear up the 'free hit' chip for me?
From what I understand, you can make unlimited free transfers for one GW, and once the GW is over your team goes back to how it was before you made all the transfers.
If you use it this GW, you get your GW1 team for GW3.
Any idea when is the best time to use it?
Personal preference, but for last season GW28 - with only four matches - would have been ideal.
Cheers TM
Clarity is intact. Note that any price changes will affect your ORIGINAL team.
looks like it would be best suited for being used on a huge double game week week?
Probably that's what the WC is for - it might be better in a blank week as stated above.
More like blank gw
No, BB or TC is best for huge DGW, Free Hit best for a short fixture blank week or a week where many of the top 6 teams are at home against weak opposition and you want to stack your team
Will Son start?
FPL seems faulty... Mark's team valuation shows to be 99.6+0.5 = 100.1
which is mathematically impossible... unless he sold 1 of Luaku or Salah...can't see him doing so...and definitely haven't bought any fallers!!!
If he got rid of Kaku and didn't buy Mhiki that would explain it...
can't see him getting rid of Kaku 😆
It does seem mad but if the figures are correct he must have.
go to gameweek history and check the TV again
mystery solved ..thanks I'll remember that !
It updates later on the points page. Click on the gameweek history page. It should have the correct TV.
cheers
If he sold Valnencia and Zaha for Jones and Mikhi, and then Mikhi went up 0.1 tonight, that's the cause, no?
It's 99.8
What's the attraction of Lowe over Zanka?
on set pieces... probably pens as well
Who's on set pieces?
And pens?
Would you play Elliot or Hart this gw?
I just asked this last page it was 2-1 to Elliot. I think I will go Elliot. Saints got to start scoring sometime either chances they create.
True.. and since i have Jwp i may aswell be going for a saints win.
elliot
Deadlock
I have the same two. I think i might go Elliot. Newcastle were unlucky not to hold Spurs goalless. They might do better against Huddesfield.
There is no way Newcastle do better missing 2 more defenders from injury and Shelvey from suspension.
Hart is horrible
What would you prefer: a) firminho, salah and alli or b) jesus, mane and willian?
A
Depends who your other strikers are. Im guessing the other are 11.5 and 7.0 or something? I like to have atleast two premium strikers as captain options.. so if thats the case then B.. but if you already have two premium strikers id go A
Without captaincy then a) will most likely score more than b)... But i like Jesus as a captaincy option so i dont know!
I have lukaku and kane
I have lukaku and kane...
B looks good then.
Reply fail to self 🙂
Yes.. To tired
Id go A... although i might consider Silva over Salah to fit in a city attacker. This is close though, B is also a great option the more i think about, and covers city and chelsea attackers since the other option doesnt and you have kane kaku up top. You on wildcard?
Ok it looks like Mark hasn't gone Mykhitaryan. If you look at the maths for his team. Maybe he took Pogba or Son instead.
Pogba a safer option.
Did you do the maths with the gameweek history page. A poster above had the same dilemma. Why don't you let him be though. So much scrutiny of his team.
It is just someone asked me his transfer , I told him it was Mykhitaryan and Jones in, Valencia and Zaha out, but then thought I got it wrong because it didn't add up.
To be fair, Mark surely knew he'd be in for a lot of scrutiny when he signed up for the FPL Show when he essentially shows his team to thousands. He's billed and held up as the expert by the game itself.
He's not complaining about it, I am. Don't get all this obsession.
He's a very good manager so people want to know what he's doing with his team and what his thought process is. I don't think people's interest is difficult to understand or why it would bother you or anyone else?
😐
yeah he really knows his stuff...think he got a bit twitchy about those Valencia knee icepack stories too
Sorry I looked deeper, the link is wrong for his TV, if you go to transfer history his TV 99.8 with 0.5itb
Yes he has. Check his GW history page. 99.8 + 0.5 ITB.
Mark said on his Podcast he went Danilo to Dann... he was worrried Sane might get Danilo's wingback spot.
I think if Zaha's injury is confirmed I'm going to switch him for Mooy, giving me enough cash to upgrade Danilo to Walker or Mendy.
I don't get this obsession with Mark's team. For sure he's a good player and I understand people like to copy/learn from good players, but the number of people stalking his team on these boards is a little crazy.
"He's a very good manager so people want to know what he's doing with his team and what his thought process is. I don't think people's interest is difficult to understand or why it would bother you or anyone else?"
Above.
Hello DZ. That was a great win for Liverpool yesterday. Hope we repeat it again in Anfield.
Yeh It was great and what game by Trent.
Hey FPLD, Pool should qualify now. The defence is terrible though.
It is, and that's the TAA dilemma. He could get assists but not many cleanies.
Yes - I put him in my team as a punt, but when Liverpool's inexperienced 19 yr old is the best defender in their team you've got problems
Defence is for cowards. There's only one good way of playing football. On the front foot.
Yes, shame about the late goal but I'll take that.
It happens. Match was entertaining which served the purpose for me.
Looks like a few are learning where the real team value lies 😆
Where tell me hahaha
Hope it's not the mids see below. Oh no. 🙂
TM, took out Zaha and Gabbi too?
I'm talking about the history page.
guilty
A hit too eh
I learned about it today, haha.
Experience is the best teacher 😉
Ok looking for a way to get Son into this team by GW3 unless Ramsey kicks off.
Don't want to lose any of the front 3
Thinking for GW3 -4
Hart to 4.0 fodder
Kompany to Blind for utd defence double up if Blind keeps place over Darmian
Ramsey to Son
Any other suggestions?
Elliot
Komapany Kola Yosh Jones Bavies
Salah Ramsey
Lukaku Kane Jesus
Hart Carrol RLC Chalobah
Zaha's replacement? Unsure if Ramsey will start and they have two away games before my potential WC. Who do you think will be the best for 2 to 3 weeks. Have JWP so no more Saint.
(1) Mooy
(2) Ince
(3) Ritchie
(4) Atsu
Don't really like any of those options. I feel like Ramsey is safer than all these players. If I had to pick, I think it would be Ince, just because I remember him doing do things on MOTD.
Not fantasy related. Can Clyne or TAA play as LB?
Clyne has played 7 games as LB.
Thanks TM. Means they can both start a game. TAA can become a good option.
Huh? Clyne only played there due to injuries from memory.
Insecure despite probably being the best defender they've got. He's a punt and 'Pool don't look like they've got many cleansheets in them.
@TM, is it possible to bring an old community article forward?
Jonty might be able to. It's already dated etc though.
The Bundesliga game is starting from tomorrow. So I thought we could have some of the game related discussions without going so far back all the time and some of the other posters would also be aware of it. Do I have to mail him about it?
You'd be better off writing a new article or just linking the old article.
Hardly fair to the article that gets knocked off the list due to yours though.
Okay. Got it. Thanks TM.
Sorry for confusion. Was checking mine earlier when someone asked the link, swap the ID and posted it here.
Was useful for me
Highest bench in LMS for GW1
https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/148641/event/1
Still got a good number of points too.
Very jealous.
https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/1988065/event/1
Not much you could do there.
Oh yeah he made the right bench choices. Quite unlucky.
Takes me back to GW1 last season where I filled my bench with fodder. I had Kingsley, Amat and Diomande on there. 24 points on the bench while my team got 45.
😆
Do you guys think, Tadic is a good punt. Went Zaha to Tadic seeing Southampton fixtures.
The team is:
Foster Elliot
Dawson Bertrand Bailly Clark Hunemeier
Salah Tadic KDB Eriksen
Lacazette Lukaku(c) Quaner
Too late now. Tadic should have scored well last game.
Why do you say too late? Yeah already did the transfer going with my instincts. But, if there are some serious doubts, I can put Quaner into my starting 11 hoping he does what he did during the last GW when he came and got an assist.
Southampton still looking strong stats wise. They had plenty of shots. It's just that no one's finishing them. Tadic got quite a few good chances vs Swansea but was wasteful. Good punt potential but also could be the same story as last season.
Yeah, my excat thoughts. Wnated to do Willian but considering the Chelsea fixture and how really bad I want them to have a torrid of a season, went with Tadic. 😀
He is hit and miss, if you are lucky, you will catch his haul... Lets see
Is aaron ramsey nailed btw?
Should be. Just returning from injury.
Might give Oriol Romeu a chance to play and keep Zaha on bench 😮
He created 3 chances afterall, can get a flukey assist maybe 😛
Qn
If my team value is 100.1m now.
Is it possible to extract the 0.01m out ? or do I still have 100m to spend only ?
Only 100m
You get 0.1 when a player will rise twice
Still got 100. You keep 50% of your rises. If you sell someone who raised 0.2, you only get an extra 0.1.
thanks for the information.
Hi guys, I am new member here.
Elliot
Walker, Cedric, Daniels,
Salah, Eriksen, Alli, Atsu
Benteke Kane (c), Chicharito
Sub:- Courtois - Mariappa-Rangel-Sidwell
What do you guys think of this lineup for GW2? I am undecided as I want to swap Benteke out and take a -4 hit since I have swapped Herrera for Atsu for GW 2 .Any advice?
Nice mids, forward line missing that Lukaku guy.
With Liverpool's defence I'd hold off on the hit and review next week.
Hmm thanks for the advice!
just went zaha to Willian and now having buyers remorse. should i have gone ramsey instead?
I would've went Ramsey but Willian isn't too bad of an option. If Chelsea do score, I think Willian will be involved. Heart of the Chelsea attack and the main source of creativity with everyone out. Morata's runs might be able to work well with Willian.
thats what i figured. then i read this article and got into the rut again
Whats done is done, sit back and relax
thanks... wish i could. just want the week to be done till i get my next FT.
Only time will tell.
I'm having that debate with myself currently, I am leaning towards Willian fwiw
Play Dawson or Mee?
Other will cover Danilo incase he doesn't start. I think he will though
Dawson
Cheers that is what I had actually
Kane 97k transfer out.. Kdb 53k transfer out..
Do they look the stats? What is the story behind getting rid Kane and/or Kdb?
Some people are fickle mate, those two blanked while others scored simple as that really, also they are both the most expensive in their respective positions.
people want lukaku / salah / mkhi and need the money from somewhere.
fully expect the reverse to happen if lukaku blanks and kane scores a couple this weekend.
Great on Kane. Could have him cheaper later.
;(
High ownership + poor performance = High transfer outs
Look at the transfers in.
Vardy seems unpopular here though
Lukaku Vardy
Salah Mkhi
Seems a downgrade
6 years, 10 months agoThis is for draft epl (so price is not a factor)
Should I trade out Lovren for Moreno? More attacking potential but might be rotated at some point.
Also trade out either arnoutovic or tadic for son?
