They are starters but potential is not so good...

2 out of 3 each week yes. But you will get frustrated with the choice each week.

Depends on what you do with the money saved I reckon, personally I wouldn't be wanting to start all 3 or are you looking to rotate them?

hey guys how's this looking on WC?

Pope (Elliot)

Otamendi Davies Luiz Cedric (Mbemba)

Hazard Sterling Choupo (Carroll, RLC)

Jesus Kane Vardy

0.2 itb

A: Pope, Cedric, Hazard
B: Courtois, Cedric, Ali/Eriksen
C: Pope, Kolasinac, Ali/Eriksen
D: Courtois, Gros, Ali/Eriksen (343, only Carroll back up)

Thanks all!

Pope simply because you will have 11.5% of your budget tied up with Chelsea defence.

No need for a hit.

Krul to Pope?
Rooney can stay for a week. Well rested after Int Break

Al Jolson

However good you are I doubt they'll be tipping you ten quid a time

Tbh most pop music suits tenors better than other voice types 🙂

I think it's fine. 2x4.5 defenders is a great option if playing 4atb. Mbemba is a trap IMO.

Interesting team. i liked it. If your moves pay off it is going to be a big jump in OR.

Would advice to have a playing back up keeper if possible, (Though i have Krul but your selection method is different from mine)

what formation would you play?
I always put 1 or 2 player who would never play with minimum price

Working in the same lines here, i like to have y bench playing and i always have. I like to have good options on the bench which leaves me with better choices whenever injuries toll up, and also saved FT n the sense that when you have a bench of quality you could sometimes just play one of them when one of your starting players are out for say, one game.
Rashford s a good punt, and defense is solid albeit Simpson not the one i would pick, but he goes well with the other and he is there to get CS whenever you need so, i kind of agree on that one. If we talk value ang getting price rises into it i personaly think Maguire is the one with higher potential to increase oth points and aluevise, but then you´d have to make a compromise with Azpi to Luiz or something and Azpi seems to more pop than Luiz. But, Luiz is cheaper and if Chelsea keeping lots of Cs and he does something in one of those games, say, he also would benefit because he is the most secure starter along with the kindliest pricing. Just some thought along the line

Rumours of an injury but nothing concrete yet

No links just a comment on here this morning about a site saying he went off injured, will be assessed some time today i guess.

he played outside himself, awful. And i am a Liverpool supporter and i love him as a player. But it is La Paz so the thin air could have played some part in it, anyway, taken off because Tite wanted fresh legs and pace in Willian.

Goals for forwards. gametime also important.

Silva will always do better with bps as he can dribble past opponents and creates so many chances but he has no goal threat.

Both are good options the 0.5 saved on Sterling does come very handy.

Understandable. Player like Sterling makes mistake- wasting scoring chances, wrong passes, fouls... Result in minus pts

Same applies to Alli losing his bonus points

Sometimes I also focusing in Bonus Point System in FPL to compare players, Silva 170 and Sterling 117, it means Silva could be more dangerous and more effective

I think Jonty has given the best answer to this question, he said Get Silva. If Sane or Sterling start to then do better, it's an easy downgrade. It's trickier to go Sterling to Silva for example

Good side but weak if injury/rotation starts.

DLC?

I like it. Dlc to Joselu and RLC to TC maybe to ensure 2 pts most weeks in the bench.

Needs a plan though to get Kun and/or morata/hazard once the injuries clear. But I like the formation.

I probably will, just riding out the break first.

Next two fixtures not lukaku are not bad at all why swapping at all ?

Mourinho done a deal with Belgium.

Definitely. It gives you a huge advantage over everyone else by seeing the opts stats.

Of course - £12.50 is nothing compared to what you get ..... assuming you're playing this game seriously.

Depends if you like statistics. For me numbers make the beautiful game boring.

Dont think so but you help the site, so not an issue

Thanks for replies. I ve won my mini league 3 out of the last 4 years but have never done that well overall, me best rank being 20000 in 2006/2007 when not many people played the game .

Heat maps and the new xG stuff are golden.

But there's no replacement for actually watching and understanding football is there?

That's why I am shite at FPL, because even though I've been watching football for 25 years I've got no idea what's happening.

Top site. My ca$h league has become more and more competitive. FFS got me my first top 10K finish last season. Well worth the money. Over a 10 month period 12.50 pounds is nothing. The new updates are top drawer as well.

I’m not so sure. I mean you get access to a lot of stats but it’s never easy making sense of those numbers. Often stats can lie too. Stats may tell you Joselu is a better pick than Morata.

For me the biggest help has been reading the comment section on here.

Might start using the members area a bit more when xG/xA are added.

This year was first time I became a member and I don’t use anything in the members area. The hot topics and articles do it for me

I barely use the member’a area but I’m happy to just support the site a bit

Same as these guys.. only use the ticker but I'm happy to support the site as I come here often 🙂
Most people feed you the info you need when you ask about certain things.. other than that I like to play the game.. not just go by what some spreadsheet tells you to do, where's the fun in that?

Davies until rose is fit

Trippier is a big rotation risk !

You need a new back 3 toast. Stones and Trippier not nailed. Jones has tough fixtures. I'd set the season ticker to 10 games and sort by difficulty when deciding on your Wildcard defenders.

He quoted he mightnt be fit for the Cyprus game

down Silva to Sterling and up Iwobi

You accidentally selected Iwobi 😉

If iwobi played he would be an absolute bargain but he won't start !

like it. should do well

Either poor advice or the agent has put pressure on the player ... ie telling them, 'look mate I've got to make a living too'.

Maybe there is a downside to being a free agent. In terms of uncertainty over future. Plus in summer there might be more completion so easier to land a preferred club in Jan.

Most clubs have wage structures. No way would they pay Barkley £20m as a signing-on fee or add it to his wages, they'd have the rest of their players wanting parity.

B with Fellaini

Both good options I'll probably side with Chupa.

Ritchie

Choupo is the better pick.

Both ideally. Fixtures wise Otamendi. The longer you delay getting Bavies the lesser the need to get him. As rotation will kick in when rose returns.

Bavies

Yes.

He could outscore him by 4 points in the Stoke game.

I hate hits though and would never recommend anyone taking one.

Yes, but so will another 8 choices too.

You sure? Chelsea's fixtures are looking very good...

Ward will have to rotate with a Newcastle defender IMO. Downgrade to Otamendi/Luiz etc yes.

His scores will likely improve given the fixtures, great next three.

Getting him in on Wc!

If you've had him until now it would be silly to sell now their fixtures ease up and there best players are returning.. expect Chelsea to start bashing teams up the next few weeks.

He's on the rise now!

He won't drop, he's being bought.

LOL!

Kane could play another game.

No rush, wait till after Sunday at least.

8 point cost?

id just do mikhi jones --> silva stones.

remoeu to fellainin not worth a hit

2 zip?

Another 0-0

He'll be fine.

I was stuck in a rut last season after using early WC. Took -20 around this time and won the mini league I needed to win and 60k overall. So -12 is ok in my eyes if you really really need it

If you don't need to touch it for 4 weeks couldn't you stage the transfers so you don't take so many hits? Maybe take GW12 as a target, figure out the squad you want then and then back-calculate the best route to get there.

I think a -8 can be justifiable if you have real problems and know for sure what you want to do. A -12 is pretty radical and I have never needed to go that far myself.

B for now don't -4
