Our usual post-Gameweek article for members arrives this evening as we delve deeper into the data for the first round of fixtures. Leicester’s two-goal hero, Man City and Southampton’s chief creators, Swansea’s improved goal threat and an eye-catching cameo from Arsenal’s Chilean all come under analysis.
is Afellay nailed on?
ta
No worries.
May be fine for now but figure Shaqiri, Bojan, Walters would be ahead in the pecking order long term. Of course Bojan has to fully recover from injury first. 🙂
Lol
Sup?
Funny that I asked exactly the same question. Must be looking for a Ki replacement like me.. Went for Shelvey in the end. How exciting!
Sterling owners keeping? Very tempted by Sterling > Payet
Sold
😮
Definitely keeping. Have you looked at City's fixtures after GW3? Wise to double up on either Aguero + Silva or Aguero + Sterling.
And Kolorov if he's nailed
Your statement is correct but the former will vastly outscore the latter.
You can't conclude that after just 1 game. After all, Sterling did score 3 goals in preseason.
I am looking at WC gw4 to bring in Aguero etc. so more of a short term move (not saying I'd definitely get rid of Payet on WC). I'd expect Chelsea to shut up shop and West Ham have Leicester and Bournemouth at home for their next 2!
Keep.he looked very dangerous on Monday.
Couldn't score if all he had to do was hit an aircraft hangar door.
hiya lads, just need a little help. About to rejoin here as a member after benefiting from it so much last season.
Although i can't remember how long it took to gain access to member articles, can you use everything as soon as you put through your payment?
Can't remember how long it took last time and had to email jonty a few times to sort some access troubles out etc.
Yep.
cool cheers doos.
It's instant
Thanks man.
As soon as you get the badge which is normally instant, all benefits including this article are available.
whats the badge TM?
The members one near your name.
The little grey icon next to everyone's name.
ahhhhh i remember now haha, thank you 🙂
This place will be toxic this weekend...
- Arsenal team sheets
- Any Walcott involvement
- End of the game if Walcott has scored/blanked
Walcott hat trick to crash it
Haha yeah and for me to leave fpl
many lol @'s will be made.
This happens for every team every weekend ?
It does.... but it will be even worse this weekend I feel!
Gomis or Sakho?
Gomis
Im waiting up for the meteor show, whats the betting it'll be more anticlimiatic than a 10 minute Theo cameo
Shaqiri thoughts?
My mate at work in mini league likes him, but I said give the two away games to settle and try with the 3 favourable home fixtures after that WBA ars LEI BOU.asking a lot for him to hit the ground running, even Sanchez had a slow start, one to monitor
Yeh this, but if he likes him he will get him, but I advised not to soon. I prefer Chadli Ayew Payet+0.5, he has 1m ib and he shipping Ritchie.
Watchlist him.
I hav. My mids are this
Sanchez Payet Mane Ayew Chadli
So I would say go Ayew or Chadli, but I was saying Ayew more.
How soon do we expect Payet to rise?
Pantilimon, Hennessey
Koscielny, Azpilicueta, Cedric, Huth, Francis
Hazard, Sterling, Walcott, Mane, Fletcher
Rooney, Sakho, Francis
1FT, 0.5 itb
Save FT?Spent a lot in defence!
Whose the second Francis?Whoops! Wilson, my bad
Silva's stats for the game against West Brom are awesome. He's lethal
Always a great FPL pick, imo.
He's my favourite.
Him, Aguero and Hazard are historically my favourite FPlayers
he costs 10m for a reason
Points points points
City Watch @City_Watch 25m25 minutes ago
Porto & Brazil left-back Alex Sandro (24) is 'one step away' from joining City according to Gazzetta dello Sport journalist @mirkogazzetta.
If true, RIP Kolarov.or rip clichy and this kid will be back up
Clichy counts as homegrown so that's be unlikely
Just copying Madrid with the signing of Danilo
You don't need Silva this soon.
Don't forget sterling is playing as a winger, not the pivoting point of attack.
All that for 6 vs 3 and a million more. 😉
Ha I think we all agree that it was Silva's goal... except for FPL Towers
Yaya is the FPL darling.
Good point. Although that still means Silva had more pts per million.
Imagine when Sterling has a good night.
This is why I am tempted to keep him and drop fabregas instead.
^ This
Should have got Yaya if you wanted pts per million. 😛
Sot 2-0 for Sterling 🙂
He's got the finishing ability of a toddler though.
I'd have thought you more than most would have been aware of drawing conclusions from such a small sample size?
To me sterling looked very dangerous and should have had at least one goal. His finishing may be poor but he is made of concrete so unlike silva never seems to break and owing to getting more chances at city I reckon he'll get 10+ goals this season making him better value than Silva (who will also score great imo btw)
aaand for all Silva's lovely play, Sterling had more SoTs
@TM The pain of scoring 23 in GW1 🙁
So close 🙁
GW1 and already out of LMS...later boys, I'll be back next year.
Are you running it? 😉
This^ 🙁
Very unfortunate 🙁
-8 hit rash?
Most would think so, depends on the players. Thinking of a -4 here.
Yes, I am thinking at least of Dropping Fabregas, he was awful. Then again, most of chelsea was. But he is so deep lying now that I think his returns will be few and far between this season.
The earlier you see weaknesses, the better.
depends what you doing, if htey will improve your team in the long run then its fine but make sure youre not overacting to a sample size of 1
After GW1 I think it is.
Extremely
depends on your team, I mean if you have Balotelli, Wilshere, Baines and Dzeko its probably worth it
Last Man Standing entry still open.
Just need to have scored 24 or more in GW1.
Entry closes Monday night. 🙂Knock it down a point will you 🙁
😉
Wow. This wildcard has me on edge. Probably made 50 transfers today only.
Think i've settled on a team:
Scmeichel, McCarthy
Layun, Darmian, Oxford, (Richards), (targett)
Hazard, Sanchez, Ayew, Mahrez, (Wanyama)
Pelle, Aguero, Benteke(c)
What do you guys think?
I'd be worried about the defence. The rest is great
my worry too. dont know how to sort it out though.
DG haz to silva and splash the 1.5 on defence. Sorted
sounds good. appreciated.
Lose Benteke/Pelle
You need some more top defenders 4points cs, same as strikers goals.
youre gonna need another wildcard to sort that defence out
I would have pulled out the WC but I want wally and roo this GW
Defence is awful, 3 possible non starters
Faultless. don't worry about the defense, everyone's will be obliterated if they all want the bog boy in .
it
I think Silva probably the best bet at moment over haz..the little man is just outstanding and once aguero is back fully it will only help his cause*big boys
Happy this wc team
Adrian or Skeletenburg
Darmian Toby Cedric
Sanchez Payet Chadli Mane Ayew
Tekkers Aguero
McCarthy Gomez Oxford Ighalo
Thanx that gives me some confidence.
Haha looks like picks that scores points this gw
I can't believe it's only gw2 and so many people don't know what to do!
Can't believe I'll be transferring in an ARRESTED player
*bailed 😉
Well, i am still in shell shock. What should have been a decent team, got me 24 pts, one of the worst gameweeks I can remember.
Same here. was pretty confident only to play wc before gw2
Keep with is then. Class will out, assuming you have some class 😉
I thought Depay Sterling and Fabregas would be classy.
The only reason I am keeping Sterling for sure is for that period after GW3.They are classy. So they blank one week... so what?
The fear factor. I shall be strong. Don't give in to fear.
Exactly. I'll only be be sh1t scared after gw4... 🙂
This is what I don't understand here. You've posted you have Depay, Fàbregas, Sterling and are tempted by a -8, yes?
I don't see why. You started with Depay for a reason - same as me I imagine, because you expect him to score well? So why sell after his debut against Spurs, when he has Villa and Newcastle home in the next two? 😕
Personally I'd just transfer Fàbregas out, no hit.The dog of reason!
No need to panic anywhere right now.
poem of the day
Also there is just so much talent in midfield, and so little up front.
Worst opening three gw's I can remember. Nobody has more than two good fixtures
😆
Arsenal have already had their good fixture
Great article.
Hi all
I have Kun , Kane and Deeney up front this gw. Bit worried about not owning Roon or Bentekke with them being top of polls for captaincy all over.
Started off bad with 19 points and cant afford to lose ground
do you think i should
a)save ft and take risk..captaining Kane?
b)downgrade Kane for Benteke meaning i can get sanchez in for a hit in gw 3
c)Kun for Tekkers or Rooney for this week and swap back to Kun next week
please helpyou cant worry bout big guns you dont have every week, its impossible to have everyone. save
Hi Rhinos
Yes i agree but it is just this gw with me not having the first and second option captains..just don't wanna go too far behind at start where i am having to take risks to play catch up if you get methe way man u and liverpool played i wouldnt worry bout falling too far behind, every chance Kane will beat them
Cheers Rhinos 🙂
Look what last weeks first and second option captains got!
Had an operation today and the general anaesthetic has left me very hungry but I've been told to eat 'little and often' - I could demolish a Pizza right now.
Good luck with your recovery, then. 🙂
Just order a donner and chips and be done with it either way 😉
Hope you recover soon.
I'm about to go out for Wing Wednesday
General anaesthetic? You've been on here all day 😕
Sats a lot about this site 😉
*Says
He actually has.. I'd love to know what time this op was
Circumcision?
Not a million miles away!
I was in the hospital from Midday until 18:30, but on my own so was online most the time 🙂 I was only out of it for 45 mins.
Operation time was 14:30.
Anything else you'd like to know? hahaWhat did you have? Boy or girl? 😉
Chop it into little pieces then eat a piece as often as you want
This is actually quite scary!
Where are the options? I go for A. Smash the pizza. What do doctors know anyway?!
I have Ritchie or Wilson I wanna ship out. Have 1.5 itb. Best transfer?
I'm thinking of Payet but Ayew sticks out too. Plus I want Sakho or Zarate. For a -4 I could get Zarate and one of the 2 mids.
Thoughts appreciatedWilson to Defoe, Ritchie to Sakho if you fancy the hit
Ritchie and sakho play in different positions
*Payet
Wilson to gomis
Or
Ritchie to tadic
Keep .5mil for next week then Wilson to gestedeAlready have 3 Southampton. I was thinking of Gomis too. dont really wanna take a hit tho. Sakho looks really good for this week as well.
i would honestly hold on to Wilson. Think he had like 15 touches inside the box. ore than any other forward. i read that stat somewhere
He looked dangerous too, i saw the game and he should have scored.
Ritchie played very well but seemed a bit wideThanks pal. Looking like Payet is the leading option then
Ideally before GW4...
Option 1 (likely -4 hit at some point)
Rooney + Hazard + Walcott > Aguero + Sanchez + Payet/Ayew
Option 2 (likely -8 hit at some point):
Rooney + Hazard + Walcott + Pelle > Aguero + Sanchez + 8.5m(Yaya?) + GomisOption 1.
Whoops, posted on the wrong thread.
What are Rutland owners doing this gameweek?
I'm actually tempted to play Butland over Ruddy.
I think both will concede, but Butland will probably make more saves?im playing Ruddy but dont think it will make a lot of difference
Ruddy
Ivanovic Koscielny Cedric
Sterling Walcott Mane Milner
Rooney Kane Sakho
Who to captain this gameweek?
Rooney
i have 8 of those players and im going Theo i think but if i bottle that it will be Mane
I am going Kane. Maybe cos i only have Kane out of that lineup..Kane is on pens which has to be an advantage if you unsure. Think its Mata on pens for utd? Correct me if i am wrong folks
I don't think there will be any prices rises tonight. Anyone think differently?
Could happen at 7am. Doesn't look like it though.
Cheers Doos ! I trust you more than my own mother. 😉
Oxford or Coates? I have Mahrez so thinking Coates then, but Sunderland though..
Oxford may well not play or come off after 60 so id go with him, any excuse no tto pick a sun defender
Need to free up funds. Do you think sterlin out for kayoute is wise so I can buy aguero next week?
Why not Redmond? Sure to start after his gaol on sat. Could go Westwood and free up another mil to spend else where?
Will I be loosing out on many points with Sterlin though? I'm also planning on swapping aguero for Rooney, is that wise?
Friday football means the gameweek is less then 48 hours away! Wahooo
Boo. Means less time to tinker.
who would you bench out of mahrez, milner or sterling this week?
thoughts appreciated coz it's doing my nut in.....so much that i'm considering the all out attack chip!Probably Mahrez
sterling, he needs 5 chances to score once and Chelsea wont give up that many
front 8 being mahrez, milner, sterling, cazorla and payet in mid.
forward line of tekkers pelle and rooney
I don't think we've seen enough in the GW1 to make any clear and competent decisions. Tempted to stick and save a FT. What do you reckon?
Ruddy
Huth, Kosc, Coates
Sinclair, Hazard, Ozil, Mahrez, Chadli
Rooney, Aguero
SUBS: Butland, Wilson, Cedric, WardI've seen enough and will do Hazard -> Payet
Radical!
That's bold. Good luck with that. I will now captain Haz. 😉
