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.
I fancy RLC to be more prominent with Zaha out.
This can't be a serious question
why not?RLC will start, pools defence is bad, he can easily produce return. Ake managed a bonus point in defeat, he has atacking threat and is point magnet, but still can end upvwith 2 points...i am not 100% sure whom to choose
Aké will score well this week I think. 8 points my prediction.
This!
ok I will blame you if he doesn't))
I saw him play last week and he's the base of all the passing moves. The bonus point he achieved would appear to bear that out.
If he gets a clean sheet. Maybe he'll get 2 bps.
Who to start?
Atsu (Hud)
or
Mee (WBA)
Tough one. Probably Mee.
How does this defense look
Foster / Elliot
Kolasinac / Bertrand / Lowe / Suttner / Mbemba
Worth saving 0.5 by bringing in Bavies instead of Kol or is it worth it for a nailed wing back?
current setup seems fine to me
Bavies for me
Is Son a good option? Thinking Danilo -> 4.5 and Zaha-> Son/Pogba
Son probably will be a good option but you can't gtd his playing time atm so for now maybe wait and see.
G2G?
Foster
Ake - Stephens - Bertrand
Kdb - Salah - Mkhi - Ritchie
Kane - Lukaku(c) - Mounie
(Elliot - Carroll - Suttner - Lomg)
Really nice, I like that
Play 2 out of the below.
A. Mee
B. Lowe
C. Ake
bookie cleansheet odd suggest AB... but C is the most expensive and highest threat!!
AC

Strategy for this year.
I am throwing out the idea who I think will score points this year. When it comes to price rises and drops all my transfers will be determined early on by a tfr out with an imminent drop and tfr in on an imminent rise. My secondary consideration will be who fits in the side in terms of balance and who is likely to score future points. zaha to zakha is an early case in point. I hope to save a drop in price with a possibility of a .2 rise.
Obviously when the season is well under way and the sale price will result in a lot of value i will not sell.
Anyone else thinking along the same lines?
No I tend to go for players that I think will score well
It's a consideration but shouldn't be gospel in dictating your transfers. Plenty of wagons are red herrings and people chasing points. You have to be flexible.
Obviously common sense must prevail.
no, you cant make transfers only fore prices' sake
Not for their sake but a major consideration.
If you do this, you'll just be chasing points all season. It means you'll have plenty of players whose price will rise, but you won't be getting players in before their juciest fixtures. This is a recipe for high team value and a middling rank. Usually the people in the top handful each year don't have especially high team value. That said, early in the season it's worth the risk of trying to do transfers early in the game week, whereas later in the season it's worth waiting right up to the deadline to see if any new team news comes out before making a transfer.
It was hard for me to post all I need to say. I will favor the price rise choice. They go up for a reason and it is clear what are silly bandwagons. I will look for value early on. later it becomes more logical.
Lukaku's ownership over 51%! Don't think I've ever seen ownership numbers that high on FPL before
What was Ibra this time last year?
Thought it was around 45ish bit could be wrong
Correct
Suarez Ronaldo Kun
Suarez and Ramsey have 60ish
Wow didn't realise that! Especially surprised at Ramsey
Im sure Mahrez is over 60% when Leicester won the league
Think he peaked at 70.
Bit confused?
When looking at someone's squad value showing 100.4m with 0ITB would that mean they have 4 players who have risen in price by .1? That would make sense but my team is showing 100m and 0ITB and I have Lukaku who has risen?
Am I missing something?
Look at your history page.
Go to 'My Team'
Go to 'Transfers' and check by viewing your team via 'List View'.
This will tell you your player 'CP' (Current Price)' , 'SP' (Sale Price) & 'PP' (Purchase Price)
Punt-o-meter (0-10......10 being uber punty)
RLC for Zaha
Pool game could be a goalfest. Benteke loves playing them. CP have decent fixtures for the 3 GW apres.
Bench/ dump one this gw
a. alonso
b. willian
A
A
A.
GW2 could get ugly for Chelsea defenders. Spurs have NOT forgotten about the FA cup semi...
Suggestions for this lot
Foster Elliot
Francis Yoshida Mee TFM Long
KDB Eriksen Zaha Fraser T. Caroll
Laca Jesus Kaku
No liverpool bothers me, but not sure where to get the money from for one.
It's obvious: Zaha, KDB/Jesus OUT ->
max 7.9m mid, Salah or
max 9.0m mid, Firmino
Tough choices to lose either this early.
Daniels v Watford (h)
or
JRod v Burnley (a)
Daniels
Ramsey or Brady to replace Zaha?
Some pros for both of them actually.
Brady if you want upgrade someone else, Ramsey if you are fine with rest of your squad
Jesus to Vardy? already own KDB....
No
Surely not
Cheers
Foster Eliott
Sead Jones Cedric Lowe Rosenoir
Salah Mkhi Zaha* Ince Carrol
Lukaku Lacazette Jesus
Pulling the trigger on Zaha -> Atsu. Enables a certain Harold next week.
Dropping Laca before BOU?
Jesus*
Firmino is tempting me to do the same , beautiful team btw
Mee or Dann? is my only dilemma for the weekend.
Got Dann atm but keep flip-flopping between them.
Got both, starting Mee, Dann 1st sub
Thanks for your help
Mee
Cheers
Got both, playing Mee
Well that looks like a Mee whitewash.
I was just thinking Dann may get some set piece joy out of that shocking Liverpool defence. Cheers
Any thoughts on this rabble?!
De Gea
Davies Bertrand Walker
Mane Salah Mk Erikson
Vokes Lukaku Mounie
Elliott Carroll Zanka Ward
If you had those last week you must be near the top 😆
Wildcard team? Not a bad squad other than the front 3.
Plan to do Mane to Alli. Easy to get in Hazard or Kdb when needed also
I could do Mane and Vokes
To
Firmino and Willian to improve the front 3?
WC already?
I always do it early can't resist!
Members: I am not able to load any player’s heatmap (or avg postion etc) from the player comparison tool. Ive tried over various browsers. Is it just me, are others able to access?
I had isues but then I seen somewhere I had to delete my cache on the browser.. It has worked fine since then.
fixed..problem was with my firewall
Try it in private mode with all extensions disabled. If it works, it's a browser issue
Best defender to get in this gw? Budget 5m. Already have Sou and wbo defenders
Mee, I think he's a goal threat
Have him mate.
ddg elliot
alonso bertrand dawson mee 5m
Get Long then, covers both BUR cb's for 4m and bank a mill
Cedric. Worth a double up.
Jones
Double up with ddg?
this
I prefer Jones
Daniels?
A) Zaha -> Ramsey
B) Zaha + Gabbi -> 5.5 + Firmino -4
I tried to do Zaha + Gabbi -> Mkhi + Mounie -4 but fpl site crashed and missed the Mkhi rise which I'm gutted about.
b
I'm giving Gabby a chance, so A
Get Pogba instead of Mkhi?
It's possible, or Son. Just don't fancy them as much as Mkhi which puts me off
I had planned on saving my transfer but Zaha has scuppered that plan. Now considering a hit.
I have no Man United cover.
A. Alonso and Zaha to Davies and Mhiki,
B. Alonso and Zaha to Walker-Peters and Alli/Eriksen, or
C. Zaha and Lacazette to Mooy and Lukaku?
im leaning toward a)
A
A, but a different defender
GTG?
Foster
Kolasinac/Stephnes/Lowe
KDB/Mkhi/Willian/JWP
KAne/Kaku(c)/Firmino
Elliot/Carroll/Suttner/Long
Thought about playing Elliot over Foster but maybe it is safer like this.
my bench order is quite different: suttner | tcarroll
leicester conceded four goals -- think suttner could get an assist while tcarroll's side plays vs united
otherwise, g2g!
Oh good idea, cheers !
So, Siggy to Everton imminent, Barry to West Brom and Spurs are going strong in the end of the transfer window in order to sign 2-3 players.
Things will be interesting.
If Everton's players gel in 2-3 months time then they will be a serious force. With Bolasie up and running and if they buy a strong striker, next year they can maybe push their way into top-4.
*year=season
Lol no
Plus bolasie is made of glass..he is as unfit as you get
I'm not sure about Everton. Still don't feel they have the quality to reach fifth let alone fourth.
And I am not even an Everton supporter eh, I am a Spurs one.
But I am kinda starting to see a plan there.
Klaasen, Davies, Calvert-Lewin, Pickford, Keane etc.
They are getting some very talented youngsters and they mix them with experienced oldies and they have a very good manager. Now with Siggy, Bolasie when he is back and if they hold to Barkley and he starts really working (AT LAST) then they will be counted.
need to play 2 out of these 3
A) JWP (WHU)
B) Ritchie (hud)
C) Phillips (bur)
which 2?
ac
Who is the best replacement of zaha? Groß or philips?
Gross
Gross
But 2 away fixture is something to worry about
Best Zaha replacement? Already have Willian, Ritchie.
Zaha -> Mata YA/NO
Maybe Ramsey
Really chuffed I took that calculated risk before price rising on Monday night.
KDB+Zaha to Mikhi+Salah (got Jesus and no Man Utd cover).
Sometimes you got to take a hit- a justified hit.
Kdb isnt justified as he had scores of chances created..even more than salah..zaha is justified though
I have Jesus so not bothered tbh.
Considering 4 possible replacements for Zaha
1) Tadic (GW1: 2 Chance Created, 3 Shots) - On Fks, Corners [WHU hud WAT cry]
2) Redmond (GW 1:5 Chance Created, 2 Shots) None [WHU hud WAT cry]
3) Ramsey (GW1: 1 Chance Created, 4 Shots) None [stk liv BOU che]
4) Ritchie (GW1: 1 Chance Created, 0 SHot) On Penos, Fks, Corners [hud WHU swa STK]
Went through all imp stats, saw highlights and found tadic and ramsey most inform but Ramsey gametime and Tadic cutting edge are worries. Also if Newc score Ritchie will most likely have hand in it
Thoughts?
Ramsey for me
Praying Jesus does the business this week. Really don't want to sell, but price drops next week will force it
Keep and captain. He will score.
6 years, 10 months agowhom to play this week - RLC or Ake?
