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.
Which is fine, Carroll at home to United is not a bad fixture
Perhaps...
Did Carroll look good in the opening game? Took all set pieces?
Still hoping Danilo starts against Everton. Think Mendy may be on the bench.
Sold Danilo for Hegazi already...
Why so many Son-Lover here? because cheaper than alli/eriksen? did he play for 1st eleven?
He subbed last game.
Scored 174 in 2/3s of the season.
Think he'll start?
Depends on formation. No Trippier means 4 at back is likely so probably.
Cheers
Best 4.5 defender replacement for Dummett (already have hegazi)
and
Best 7mil or below option for Zaha.
i went zaha > willian, but think ramsey would also be a good (maybe better) bet
francis if he recovers is good at 4.5. also look at TAA and Kyle walker peters if your 4.5 is a short term fix
Mee & Ramsey?
TAA
Lowe
Spurs Walker maybs
Thanks guys. Think i will do Zaha to Ramsay this week.
who do you think will score more points this year? Jesus, Morata or Lacazette?
Jesus
Any mid-week games left?
Everton tomorrow.
Captain for GW2?
1. Kaku
2. Kane
3. Vardy
Feel like taking a punt with Vardy - felt he was electric vs Arsenal and has a plum fixture against BHA?
1
1
2
Lukakuuuu
Lukaku
Who am i?
Factor in his Gameweek 38 strike at home to Everton and the FA Cup final winner against Chelsea and ??? – at just 7.0 – has now scored in his last three domestic appearances.
Ramsey
Correct. Send me your credit card details and ill send you a prize.
Probably Ramsey
Who am I ? I'll get injured for nine months within two weeks. Who am I ??!!
Andy Carroll
Do we think Son will get a start against Chelski?
Think he is. Could see Spurs on berserk mode. Kane, Alli, Eriksen, Son for at least a goal or an assist.
Hoping so...
yes should easily take sissoko's place
He could be a huge diff
yeap fortune favors the brave. go for it if you feel punty 😉
Cheers
Last time they beat Chelsea, Son was a sub. They had Rose and Walker then which changes things.
Son should start against Chelsea. When he came on against Newcastle, the attack was much more fluid. He is also a better player than Sissoko.
I'd love to jump on.
JWP-RLC & Zaha-Son feels so spicy.
Do you think Milner will get the start this weekend after a decent display in the champions league? Probably replacing Moreno
Hope not
He came on for Henderson, though, who was not doing too well, imho. Imagine Milner back in midfield (OOP) and on pens
Money no problem who do you prefer from the trio below ?
A) Mikhitaryan- swa LEI stk EVE sot
B) Ramsey- stk liv BOU che WBA
C) Willian- tot EVE lei ARS sto
Mkhi
ABC
this
A
A
A) provided he doesn't get rotated
The C) as while Hazard is out he will dominate more but the fixture is not too favourable
cheers all. my thinking too.. ramsey coming back from injury and minuites maybe reduced while willian is a rotationr risk once hazard returns
mikhi had a great pre season and opening game. i think we could see his dortmund form this season as mourinho's teams are different class in his second season at each club
i think he's under priced and could make a mockery of his price tag by bagging double digit figures for both goals and assists come end of season
I also think he could easily have a season like last season. He benifeted from the position he was played in, and watching all his touches vs West ham on youtube (and also watched the game live), I feel like people are over reacting on him just because he got points. From a non fantasy point of view, I didnt see a performance that will keep him nailed in the side with all their other options which is why i didnt get him in.
Money is always a problem.... but if it wasnt I would say the obvious answer is A)
Who would you start this week between Mee and Davies? Have a feeling I want to be playing both which I will if Zaha is confirmed out for just the one week (highly unlikely I know) or if I replace Zaha I could bench Gross. Hmmm thinking I've almost answered my own question but would be keen to hear others thoughts.
I'm playing Mee and benching Zaha for now.
Yeah same here Dingo, have a feeling that will change tomorrow though.
Thought you were going to have Mkhi for Zaha? Late to the party?
Why people are not talking about gross as a potential zaha replacement over here ? Didn't he have a good first game ? He plays in d hole too.. good fixtures too
injured mate. will be out for 4 weeks
sorry read the question wrongly. i think have to see more of gross before we can bring him in. he has potential though
I already own him. He looked promising against City
He looked good as in.. he tried hard, and was the only attacker... im waiting to see more, although my bet is that he will be as good of a pick as your implying 🙂
Thank you Ophelia, demel and hurrikane
I'm monitoring him but I think there are better picks for now in the same price range.
Bench 1 please
1- Daniels
2- Mee
3- Yoshida (have Bertrand)
1
Sorry, missed scoutcast yesterday. What was the word about Zaha? Best replacements? Cheers
mikhi
Jonty liked Mooy and Mark took a hit to bring in Mhiki and downgrade a defender
i have gone for Mikhi
7.0 bracket - ramsey willian tadic arnie
6.0 bracket- ince mooy gross ritchie
if8.0 bracket mikhi
I asked previously about players with rising value.
What if my team is 99.9m now.
If I sell the player now that has drop in value.
Initial cost 10m, now 9.9m
Do I get 10m or 9.9m to spend ?
9.9
9.9
9.9, poor system
Poor system, how?
Why do we get only half profit whereas have to suffer 0.1 loss for every drop?
Its not like rate of price drop is half of price rise
You'd end up with 125m teams.
It's like real life. You pay taxes on profits but not on losses. Keeps the market more stable.
Or you can say they like to enjoy our hard earned money and put all pressure of loss on us
If I have earned 100 bucks, nobody deserves even single penny of it except me
Anyway, nothing can be done. World is running on bunch of stupid systems, cant really do anything, just have to avoid its use as much as possible
That's just bitter arguing. Every system is designed keeping a large number of people in mind. When it doesn't benefit you, the obvious thing is to write it off. The present system is very good imo.
More like keeping rich people in mind to be precise
The rich people are taxed more in FPL. 😕
Think of this situation.
You have only 2 fit
strikers in the game.
Lukaku and Defoe.
And Lukaku gets injured. Now the only choice left is to go for Defoe.
You'll get a massive rise from Defoe. From 8, his price goes to 11. If the system was the one as mentioned by you, Defoe can easily become Lukaku and everybody will have him regardless of the timing of their purchase and the game will become too template. The market should have enough fluctuations to keep the flow going on and not stagnate the game.
Imagine all the free money on a WC.
Yeah but my team has earned that value, its not like they have loaned me extra 25m.
Atleast give us some benefit, make the rate of price drop half of price rise?
Same for everyone. Would make the game even more money based.
that is awful. Zaha better don't drop in value
Decent chance in 21 hours.
Ince could be decent punt for Zaha me thinks
Very punty. But no more so than Atsu and GroB who are in my midfield.
I have brought Atsu in for Zaha. Atsu was man of the match against Spurs and looked threatening.
He has enabled me to upgrade Rondon (don't ask) to Firmino.
I might to do that tonight. One punty winger for another, with better fixtures, and 2mill in the bank.
That waa my thinking. Willian and Ramsey are both still quite punty. I can't say that Atsu will keep pace with either but I am certain that Firmino will outscore any 6.5m strikers.
I did Iwobi>Brady already had Atsu. They rotate home/ home nicely the next 5 weeks
Zaha to which one of these guys for the next 2-3 gameweeks...
A) Tarroll
B) Atsu
C) Ince
Thanks
C
D Ramsey
E Tadic/Redmond
Is Wijnaldum a good option to replace Zaha?
Or Ramsey is better?
Yes and probably about the same.
Yes but I like Ramsey better but his minute though
Yes. Wijnaldum wilo score consistent points (but will stay under the radar).
I prefer Ramsey, but Wijnaldum could be a great pick also.
If you want a big front 3 guys like Son Wij and Ramsey could tick along nicely.
Going to be hard to watch when their teammates haul though.
thanks all
for short term, which you think is better?
Should have gone with Mkhi for Zaha earlier. *sigh
#suchisfpl.
You can thank the kneejerkers for that
Jeez people.
Y U NO wait for deadline day to make changes and keep everyone happy.
So anyone spotted any nice under the radar defenders in the 5 to 5.5 range?
Umm, too early... Need 3-4 weeks
Bertrand looks good if he is fit
Yeah might double up on saints
With more than 15% ownership is not under the radar though. I'd say Jones or Holebas.
Bertie, Yoshi, Jones, Fuchs, Maguire, Stephens
Am i the only one thinking Maguire is a terrible player ?
Not a good defender I guess, looks fine while moving forward
Wanted to include Morgan but since he's not in the price range, opted for him instead.
Thanks had Jones and Yosh from the start
Will check Holebas and other suggestions.
Save transfer? Or do I have a problem I need to fix?
Foster
Trippier-Daniels-Yoshida
KDB-Mane-Zaha-Ritchie
Lukaku-Kane-Rodriguez
Elliot-Carroll-Suttner-Long
0.0ITB
Seems Zaha needs to be moved yes?
Zaha probably dropping by tomorrow so your call
Zaha ➡ Redmond or Tadic
Who do we think is the better option?
Probably Tadic
Best mid 8.0 or under? Need to get rid of Sane and Rangel. Missed out on mkhi price rise, so was thinking pogba or silva? Any better options?
Do you have more City/United players in your team ?
Just 1 united (lukaku), no city
Then as Ophelia said, Silva seems the proper move.
Is Rangel in your starting eleven or just in the bench ?
Just on the bench, just like having all my players playing every week. Looking for a 4.5 replacement
If you got no City cover apart from sane.. Sane to Silva looks good
Somehow in my draft ive ended up with:
Cech (boruc)
Vertonghen Alderweireld Stones (Trippier VVD)
Eriksen Mane Wijnaldum Coutinho (lallana)
Jesus Lukaku Chich
With 4 Liverpool midfielders and Tadic/Redmond not being picked up by any teams.. Lallana to Tadic seems a good move right?
Yeah but how long are you stuck with Cout for if he heads for the exit door?
Coutinho ill hold onto until he is gone.. thats a risk im willing to take
Definitely. One bad week for liverpool would be terrible for you otherwise
Yeah.. out of all the picks probs lallana best to get out hey? most injury prone, Winjnaldum more consistent?
Could there be any chance of TAA and Clyne featuring in the same starting 11?
Very low.
Thanks TM.
Best mid for max 6.5m? Thinking Tadic
The good fact is that with Liverpool almost qualified for the UCL Klopp won't be tempted to make some changes for this weekend, he'll surely play his best team available.
Maybe there will be rotation.
What I don't get is that it's early in the season why not let them all play again and just build up match fitness .
2-1 isn't something to fool around with. Liverpool conceded a lot of opportunities and on another day Hoffenheim could easily scored a few more goals. Definitely not "almost qualified" for CL
Do Zaha to Willian for free or wait to get the 2nd FT and do Gabbi + Zaha to Mounie/JRod + Pogba ?
Zaha probably dropping tomorrow.
Had a lot to worry for in my team (likes of Zaha, Danilo, Abraham and Fabregas And A weaker Bench)
Can't believe got to this bad start in the beginning coz of injuries though did well with
***67 POINTS***
Played The Wildcard Early and thats how it looks like Now
Hart-Elliot
Cedric-(Walker Peters -TAA/ Jones - Mbemba) -Hegazi- Hunemier
Salah-Mkhi-Eriksen-KDB (Carroll -GoodBye Siggi)
Kaku-Jesus-Mounie
(Downgrading Kane To Jesus Which i think will score better points per game paying 2m less gives you a dream midfield )
Views Guys :')
That front 7 could absolutely smash it. But that defence does look a bit weak.
Im seeing a lot of value in my front 7
Regarding the back 3 Ive faith in cedric for their kind fixtures. Will get jones with my free transfers and want to enjoy some points temporarily from TAA and Walker Peters.
6 years, 10 months agoDanilo is a big worry for me. If he doesn't play then Carrol comes in.
