We delve into the members data this evening after the Gameweek came to its conclusion last night. Stoke, Southampton and Watford’s forwards all come under analysis, whilst Sergio Aguero and Alexis Sanchez make a strong claim for immediate investment on the back of their weekend showings.
Silva + Ozil
OR
Yaya + Sanchez & (-1m) ?
Latter every time, imo.
who was on your record subs bench?
The latter
Sterling and Sanchez
Silva and Mesut in my team :/
And you're not happy with that ?
I am, but everyone is saying Yaya and Alexis lol.
Demí?
didn't get it, what do u mean ?
heh
Filling my last two slots of a WC..
A) Sakho & Kompany
B) Benteke & Richards
I have Payet in midfield as WH attack.
Thanks for the help!a
thoughts on Wilson and his fixtures ?
Same amount on target as Mr. Depay ...
did he...Not checked his stats. Have you a table Doosra ?
give him a change of 2 more weeks
Not seen much of him as a player but loads of touches in the box v Villa , pens and great fixtures
Well that's it, WC active....fingers crossed
Would have been -36 otherwise, my team was that bad and only just inside top 2million!
Ayew and Gomis as a double up is asking for trouble. Jeez.
Both good picks, but I'd probably just go with one of them. Gomis for me.
I agree
Good picks on their own. It's the double up I dislike. Swansea always start well , won't keep up this rate of goals and have so many options it will be spread about IMO.
Paid off for me last week
Yeah, I'll have both for Sunderland and then switch one out soon enough, perhaps Gomis to Diouf.
Burton Albion won tonight, our first ever league 1 away victory 😀
Onwards and upwards!
Is it worth downgrading Silva to Yaya in order to swap either Payet or Ayew to Depay?
I wildcarded Depay out at the weekend but I think he will be great this year. So many midfield options.Wait and see how he is in the PL first
No
It's not really a downgrade...just cheaper. I'll stick with Silva though.
Can't think he was going to be that great if you got rid 🙂
How 90 minutes changes things!
Tempted myself!
Wheres your grav?
What you are saying.
Silva at Everton
or
Depay home to Newcastle
From a different perspective, if had to, I'd rather captain Depay out of the two?
god it feels good to WC
goodbye: Azpilicueta, Koscielny, Cedric, Francis, Huth, Walcott, Hazard, Henderson, Sterling, Rooney, Pelle and WilsonHello TV that isn't plummeting by the day!
Exactly, if people hold out until next week they will have 1m less to spend! Big difference
Haha I know Vikram Solankis wife
I'm with you man! Just pressed the button myself
Walcott hendo sterling rooney and Wilson definitely have to go
Can see Rooney trolling this weekend though
Sorry - bottomed
WC Team:
Butland Ruddy
Kolarov Richards Huth Shaw Gomez
Sánchez Silva Westwood Ayew Mahrez
Pellè Agüero Gomis
1) Silva + Mahrez + Pelle
2) Silva + Albrighton + Tekkers
3) YaYa + Mahrez + TekkersA for me
3 easily for me.
1
I just got Kolarov , he won't let me down
All is alright again in the world of fplMe too, first time I have ever owned him. Not sure he will last until Saturday though
He makes FPL fun
A)Mata or Depay
B)6.0 midfielder to rotate with albrightonMata
Arnie at Stoke ?
Are any of these transfers worth a hit in your opinion? (keeping in mind price changes as well)
A) Benteke to Gomis
B) Ramsey to Yaya
C) Baker/Francis to Gomez
D) Hazard to Sanchez
Not worth a hit
Cheers.
Is this a great WC defence IYO?
Kolarov, Darmian, Williams, Gomez, Francis
If not, what who would you change?
It's ok, kolarov and gomez in one team though. Looks rather risky
Mark made a post behind the scenes about Naughton which was interesting, thinks he might perform better than Williams.
I quite like that defence, it's very similar to mine. I might go Kompany+Shaw instead. Can't see Gomez nailing that spot, although he's currently in my team too.
Pretty much the same as me, Kompany, Shaw, Williams, Gomez... I forgot the 5th.. some 4.5 lad!
Naughton? Interesting...
Thing with Gomez is, if he does nail the spot, he is a complete bargain and will troll non owners relentlessly no doubt. If he gets dropped, then I guess it's just an FT to be used. Those home fixtures for Pool are nice and his price lets him just be benched away.Completely agree with you on Gomez, Bubz. Like the defence too.
That's exactly what I'm looking at once Francis drops.
Only thing I dont like about having him at 4.4 is it ties our hands a bit if we end up with 0.0 in the bank and need to get rid of him at some point
Personally don't see the need for the Kolarov risk (see my post on last hot topic about him).
Don't see the need for Francis and Gomez, when are you going to play both? May as well get a 4.0 and save the cash for elsewhere.Kolarov's attacking stats are incredible. I am amazed that not everybody is buying him. His reward outweighs the risk hugely. As for Gomez and Francis, I doubt I'll play both at once, it just gives more options/rotation?
I can't see a situation where you'd ever play Francis over any of your 3 first choice defenders.
Unless Pellegrini ends his full back rotation (can't see it happening, especially once the midweek games start), Kolarov is always a 1 point risk.I would play Francis GW at home to Villa when Gomez and Williams have Spurs and Everton
At home to Watford even*
Although the Francis , Gomes picks does negate the risk of Kolarov / Gomes being a benched
Not if Kolarov comes on for 1 point.
He doesnt do that as often as people think
Strongly considering the wildcard, thoughts on this lot? Been a terrible start and this week does not look any better. I do have two FTs though, really at a loss on this.
Ruddy, Butland
Ivan, Koscielny, Huth, Coates, Targett
Hazard, Ozil, Sterling, Chadli, Wanyama
Rooney, Benteke, WilsonToo much Chelsea and not enough city for me.
You need to decide sooner then later!
Ivan - kol
Haz/Sterling - silva
Still leaves you with no Aguero though
Wildcard team
Butland, Ruddy
Darmian, Kolarov, Ward, Richards, Gomez
Sanchez, Silva, Mahrez, Payet, Redmond
Aguero, Gomis, Cisse
Planning on rotating Redmond and Cisse, may backfire with points on the bench some GWs but like their home/away rotation.
Getting Francis for Gomez once Francis drops to 4.4.
% wc used?
5% casuals , 80% on scout
That's a facetious guess btw
Ok cheers I used last week, but in below 240k now.
Nice start
Cheers
😆
Final call on my WCT:
(A) Yaya + Depay + Tekkers
(B) Silva + Payet + PelleB for me
A but with Pellé and the extra 0.5
Yaya + Payet + Tekkers
Toying between Ighalo and Watmore...
You're a good lad, Ser Davos. I'm glad you didn't have to witness Staniss burning his daughter alive.
Thank you. Will be taking the black soon enough.
Also please kill Melisandre for us, but only after she revives Jon. Ta.
Then please avenge the murder of brother Jon Snow. Get that little sh*t Olly and make him pay.
Fair spoiler warning lol.
lol
Sorryyyy lmao. My bad!
Ighalo by far, Jerome even if he drops to 4.9 to save some cash
mmm okay, thanks. Good shout on Jerome.
Rate my team
Fabianski
Clyne Darmian Cedric
Mahrez Sanchez Mane Chadli
Gomis(c) Aguero Rooney
Thanks in Advance! 🙂Solid. I'd captain Mane this week though.
Does a qualifier counts as a champions league goal
yeah, just like an international friendly still counts as a cap.
He better be wearing 'score my first goal vs Newcastle Utd' laces on Saturday
are you squeezing him in?
I can get him over Payet and leave nothing in the bank with this:
http://i.imgur.com/U27qXxy.pngI already had him in before tonight's game.
That team is basically identical to my WC team so yeah, cant fault it lolhaha nice
Looks decent
You should get some points out of thatI always get confused, decent is slang-y in England right?
in the US decent = not bad, not greatDecent is good in UK
In London , decent is positive ...it's a good thing
Quick poll help guys
first to three wins
A)Mata or Depay
B)6.0 midfielder to rotate with albrighton
im thinking montero (i already have gomis)What are peoples thoughts on:
Kane, Sterling, Rooney OUT
Aguero, Ayew, Pelle IN
for a -4 , got two FTsDoes this warrant a WC in your opinion? 2 FTs used and 1.4 ITB. Or anything worth a hit? Tempted to do Ramsey to Yaya or Benteke to Gomis.
Schmeichel
Azpi Mert Cuthcart
Haz Ramsey Mahrez Chadli
Kun(c) Benteke Sakho
Guzan Fletcher Francis BakerDepay - Ramsey/Ozil - Pelle
vs
Payet - Sanchez - Diouf
?Depay - Ozil - Pelle for me
Payet - Sanchez - Diouf
+1
Second one
latter
Cheers all
If City buy Otamendi who's place is in trouble?
mangala
Mangala
he was supposedly gonna swap on a loan but city wanna keep him - according to many guesses! 😉
352 the way to go atm?
ive always been a 343 player but lack of form out there?A: Sanchez + Kone (mostly 3-5-2)
B: Payet + Giroud
Already have Ozil
Considering the price changes that are likely to happen tonight, would you WC this team?
Butland Ruddy
Huth Koscielny Coates Cédric Francis
Sinclair Fàbregas Sterling Ayew Mahrez
Agüero Pellè Benteke
I have already taken a 4 point hit to change Rooney, Walcott and Ritchie to Mahrez, Aguero and Ayew. However Im thinking about playing the WC now. What do you think, yes or no?
86 predicted fallers on FPL Stat.
The volatility is loo-la. I'll let you all at it. The WC frenzy is in DefCon 1 mode at this stage.
I haven't WCed and obviously it may bite me. But this place has gone crazy. Sure, it's the worst start in living memory but I won't be following the the mode of thinking that persons engage in when concurrence-seeking becomes so dominant in a cohesive ingroup that it tends to override realistic appraisal of alternative courses of action.
The fretting over TV is the worst I've seen in 6 years playing. I've played that game before. Sticking rigidly to transfer strategies to ensure no 0.1 losses. The legendary *cough* Triggerlips is a known exponent of it.
Bah, I say, to all that. How many seasons have we seen 110m in GW37 and you leave 3m in the bank?
Good luck to everyone on WCs but I think (hope, more so 🙂 ) that you all get your arses bitten for not waiting in order to have more data to work with.I have Hazard goes absolutely mental and leaves all those who WC'ed without him in disarray 😛
Sanchez a pretty easy upgrade
Well said that man
Couldn't agree more
Third sentence of the third paragraph!
I admire your approach. Worrying over TV is not something I like to do at all. For me it's due to a shift in the players I think will score well. I certainly didn't expect Aguero and Sanchez fit and firing this early, and that's a large part of it. The listlessness of Rooney and Chelsea has also caught me off guard. These players can turn it around though, no doubt. Hope your patience is rewarded, in a way!
FPLStatistics update: 8 predicted risers, 86 predicted fallers.
If this is correct (or even vaguely correct) losing a bit of TV this week is going to be fine compared with what the early WC'ers are potentially going to lose during the international break......
It isn't correct so don't worry about it, they can't differentiate the WC transfers
They do a pretty job all things considered.
They do with normal non WC transfers but the visibility has been terrible this week
I have to say I think the international break is a fallacy. There's more opportunities for risers and fallers but in reality the same number if transfers occur. I don't think there is much if any benefit (financially) to wildcard in an international break
Not sure - More people will take hits to avoid TV loss so there will be more transfers, plus extra injuries, last minute deadline signings (e.g KDB, Pedro etc) that people will get in.
Guess time will tell though 🙂
You sure it'll be more volatile in the international break?
I think it'll be more volatile in a week without all these WCs
it's never volatile in international breaks..people also take a break from FPL
This. Pretty much the same movement as a regular gameweek, but spread over more days.
