The last-minute August transfer window move to QPR seems to have offered Shaun Wright-Phillips a new lease of life. The winger cut a forlorn figure on the periphery of Roberto Mancini’s title-challenging Man City but, plucked from his Etihad Stadium nightmare by Neil Warnock, Wright-Phillips has been handed the chance to resurrect his career. Under the guidance of a manager with complete faith in his abilities, he is already making an impact at Loftus Road.
Fed up of Darren Bent, I have 2.9 in bank so can afford pretty much anyone. Thinking Luis Suarez as a good differential? No Rooney all season has been absolutely stupid from me so have huge ground to make up but might wait little bit longer to get him

Hi,
My current team is:
Vorm / Given
Senderos / A.Cole / Kompany / Simpson / Enrique
Cahill / Sinclair / Ramsay / Moses / Surman
Bent / Aguero / Rooney
I am thinking of wildcarding in the international break.
Have 2 transfers this week and was thinking of Cahill and Bent to:
Mata and 9.3m forward
or
Nani/Silva and Sturridge
Any thoughts??Open Controls
Silva is close to must have and I like the value from Sturridge, so I'd say Silva/Sturridge.
Mata still has to prove his consistency to score/assist, but he does look dangerous. I think you could move some funds to get Mata in over Ramsay if you downgrade Cole?Open ControlsThanks! Think I will do Silva and Sturridge, then wait and see how Mata does for the next couple of weeks.
Open Controls
a) Nani + 4.0m def
b) Arteta + 5.7m def
(rest of def is Bosingwa, Brown, Ward, Simpson)Open Controlsnever mind. went with nani. and a lovely hit
Open Controls
is this a good time to bring in vdv?
Open Controlsi think there are better options in that price bracket (he carries niggles, and often comes off early because of his general fitness)
Open Controls
Bit hard to say, got Ade? Who out of Mata, Young, Nani, Silva and Nasri do you have?
Open Controlsmake that Young, Nani, Silva and Nasri
Open ControlsWhy?
Open Controlsbecause the 4 others are proven point grabbers and in form
mata might be good, but its only a punt for now, thus on the same lvl as VDV
thats my opinion though. we are 80% agreed though 🙂Open Controls
ive got ade and young.
considering mata.
the reason i was contemplating vdv is that no one in my minileague has him, it would potentially be a great differentialOpen Controls
I'd probably say no. It looks like he won't be playing off the striker for a while, while he is prone to the odd niggle (particularly when coming back from injury).
Young, Nani, Silva and perhaps Mata and Nasri seem to be better options for now.Open Controls
one free trf where can i improve the below team, or shud i keep for 2 free trf's next week & see who in chelsea & arsenal is on form?
vorm (given)
bains, woodgate, r.taylor, (simpson, kompany)
Young, moses, adam, (dyer, feregson)
Dzeko, rooney (vc), aguero (c)Open Controls
Get Ferguson out!
Open Controls
I take it that isn't your correct starting lineup for this week?
Open Controls
Dzeko & Aguero?
Downgrade Dzeko to Agbonlahor/Sturridge, Downgrade Baines.
Upgrade Ferguson & Moses, then bench Dyer.Open Controlshaving both Dzeko & Aguero - means i dont wry about roatation and man city r going to score a lot of goals this yr - i cant see midfield scoring goals it seems will be their strikers so i have gone for both of them
bains out & upgrading moses is the plan for next week
also agbonlahor run wont last & long term wont get more than 10-12 goals - where as both dzeko & aguero will
strudige will be rotated esp now drogba is backOpen Controls
Doing Barton in for Brunt (had enough of him) and maybe save my other transfer and do 2 next week.
Given
Boswinga, Simpson, Kompany,
Moses, Barton, Silva, Arteta
RVP, Rooney, Suarez
Ruddy, De Laet, Brown, Barkley.
0.2m in Bank
Ok am I playing the correct keeper and defence this week and are subs in right order????Open ControlsRuddy at home to Sunderland or Given away at QPR?
Ruddy better chance of clean sheet but Norwich have 0 from 5 so far and conceded 5 pens in 5 games.
Given better chance of making more saves but Villa have a solid defence despite QPR's attack.
I'd play Given over Vorm but Ruddy over Given. If you're not gonna play Ruddy at home to SUN, when will you?Open Controls
Is it just me or do prices rises/falls seems to be happening much more regularly this year? You really need to make transfers early - Adebayor has gone up .2 since the weekend! Glad I got him in on Sunday.
Open Controls
Current Team:
Given/Vorm
De Laet/Simpson/Brown/Berra (Jagielka)
Nani/M.Petrov/Silva (N.Dyer,Ferguson)
Rooney(v)/RVP(c)/Dzeko
have 2.2 in the bank
should i take a 4 point hit for Dzeko&Ferguson for Mata&Best
or
should i just take out jagielka for bosingwa or any def with 7.7
Is dzeko playing this weekend? should i get rid of him because he's a rotation risk?Open Controls
What have facebook done now 😕
Open Controlsgoogle+ knee jerk
Open Controls
Yup. Facebook should just relax. People aren't exactly flooding to google+.

Its bloody awful. Each new feature seems to get worse and worse.

If I was to WC after GW7 what transfers should I do to this team???
Vorm Ruddy
Bosingwa De Laet Smalling Kompany Simpson
Young SWP Jarvis Larsson Ferguson
Aguero Rooney Suarez
1.3m in the bank
Was thinking of doing Kompany->Ward and Smalling->Jones(If Jons starts instead of Smalling)
Also tinking of Larsson,Jarvis,Suarez and Young-> Adebayor,Sinclair,Nani and Silva
That wil leave me with this.
Vorm Ruddy
Jones Bosingwa Ward Simpson De Laet
Nani Silva Sinclair SWP Ferguson
Aguero Rooney Adebayor
With 0.6 in the bankOpen Controls
Well at GW7 we will be able to really see how good Adebayor will be in the long term. If he looks like 16-20 goal getter then that team would look great.
Open ControlsI was thinking of Wildcarding this week to change to that team.
Open ControlsYour previous team isn't too shabby and I dont think you are 100+ points behind league leader like I was. Wait a little bit. With 0.6 in the bank you can afford any minor price increases too.
Open Controls
I really think a WC for int. break after GW11 is a much better option than after GW7. There is a significant upturn in fixtures for the top teams after 11 (especially Utd) I'm trebling up on Utd after GW11..
Open Controls
when,s that dgw with spurs and everton due.
Open ControlsHows this look?
Given (Vorm)
Bosingwa, Simpson, Barnett (Brown, Ward)
Nani, Silva, MPetrov, Jarvis (Moses)
Rooney, Aguero(C), Adebayor
0 cashOpen Controls0.7 cash that is
Open ControlsBarnett's a dodgy pick in my opinion. You could even get Evans for him at the moment..
Open Controlsyea? hes only filling in, or?
Open ControlsWell at the moment he's only filling in, but it seems like he's doing well. Otherwise you could double up on Newcastle with S Taylor or R Taylor/Santon or go for QPR coverage with Gabbidon/Ferdinand.
Open Controlsyeah, surprised he got 2bps even though his defense leaked 2 goals
he rotates much better with simpson than the QPRs, and ward/brown rotate well
cheers though mateOpen Controls
This week or in general?
Open ControlsI went for Enrique because of the fixtures. Stoke are in Europe so it could hamper his CS chances.
Open ControlsThe Spaniard.
Open Controls
I've got Enrique but to be honest I'm having serious doubts as to why. Bought him ages ago on what he 'might' do for Liverpool this season, but so far he has done nothing. 12 points to date versus Shawcross' 23. Whilst not a ShawX fan, I'm getting rid of Enrique once I can afford to.
Open Controls
Lulz, another sacking at Inter. How many managers is that since Mourinho? 3?!
Open Controlschairman's having severe rebound issues it seems
Open Controls
Team for this week:
Given
Kompany//Bosingwa//Enrique
Hoolahan//Anderson//Silva//Sessegnon
Aguero//Adebayor//Rooney
Thoughts?
Wondering if i should play Simpson ahead of either Enrique or KompanyOpen ControlsYeah you should. Could do with a more comfortable lead.
Open Controlswhat you think of sess worth keeping .. growing tired but got an assist at weekend. sorry an iffy assist
Open ControlsYeah im keeping him for the next 2 games and then he's out.
The price fall is annoying though, but i need to http://i55.tinypic.com/20sai4k.pngOpen Controls
City at home are good for those CS's. Keep Komp and I dont think Wolves are gonna score against pool.
Open Controls
52 points
Open Controls
Any chance of form stats on FPL anytime soon does anyone know? Beautiful sentence construction there
Open Controls
they claim all the functionality will return, its just taking an age. I miss the old gameweek history page.
Open Controls
Tough one. I would say Bosingwa because I dont think Swansea gonna score while Everton could easily nick a goal.
Open Controls
I ment to transfer in for my team, not for this week.
Open ControlsThen Komp because he is a guaranteed atleast 10 CS.
Open Controls
There's nothing guaranteed in football...especially not 10cs for city who are on the attack a lot more than last year and who are exposed without de jong...
Open ControlsTrue nothing guaranteed. Would love to see De Jong rampaging from midfield trying to get himself on the scoresheet. I dont think Mancini will keep this open attacking football going. He will melo it down soon.
Open Controls
Bosingwa
Open Controls
Open Controls
All, I have made my three transfers (two were free) for this week and the team now looks like this:
Krul (Ruddy)
Kompany, Bosingwa, Enrique, Simpson (De Laet)
Silva, Mata, Barton, (Moses, Dyer)
Suarez, Rooney, Aguero
Not sure on captain and I think moving forward De Laet will likely have to go.
Any thoughts?Open Controls
I took Suarez out last week so he's bound to get a couple of goals. I'd go with him, son.
Open ControlsCapt between Roon and Aguero.
Open ControlsDo you think Suarez has a chance at home to Wolves?
Open ControlsHe does but the way he is playing doesn't suggest a hattrick. While Aguero at home with the midfield ammo could score another hattrick. Provided that he starts. 🙂
Open ControlsI sold Suarez this week as he hasn't delivered in recent games and my patience ran out. From now have decided to go on 'real form', rather than 'potential form'. Aguero as captain it is then.

Hello Guys,
Anyone know the access code for the mini league "ANY Top 1000 Season" ??

how many weeks do 2 free transfers pass over if i only use 1?
Does that make senseOpen ControlsThey will rollover forever. So just keep using one till you need the spare

i got rooney at 12.2 now he is 12.5 but when i go to sell him he stays 12.2
Open ControlsSee below extract from rules on FPL site:
Player prices change during the season dependent on the popularity of the player in the transfer market. Player prices do not change until the season starts.
The price shown on your transfers page is a player's selling price. This selling price may be less than the player's current purchase price as a sell-on fee of 50% (rounded up to the nearest £0.1m) will be applied on any profits made on that player.
For example, if you buy a player for £8.3m and when you transfer him his price is £9.0m, his selling price will be £8.6m.Open Controls
team for this GW
Given
Baines / Enrique / Olsson / Simpson
Brunt / Silva / Taarabt / Walcott
Rooney (c) / Ade
subs: Ruddy / Walker / Sinclair / Klasnic
ive used 2 transfers. is this teeam ok? advise and tips massively appreciated. cheersOpen Controls
Having in mind that Klasnic is out and Sinclair is playing against Chelsea, your team looks sound. Yet, not sure whether not to bring Sinclair for Baines. Everton is playing away against Man City, which is not good as Man City are scoring goals. Also, Everton have not conceeded only against Blackburn away and, personally, I was not that impressed by their defence against Wigan. So, you may consider a safe bet bringing in Sinclair for Baines (and changing your tactic to 3 5 2 ), just in case Man City start scoring. Good luck.
Open Controls
I am just about to use my wildcard to line up a team strong on set-piece takers. So, I was wondering if any of you is willing to share thoughts about whom better pick - M Petrov (Bolton) or Murphy (Fulham)!
I really like Petrov's runs down the wing, throwing crosses all the time, taking set pieces (corners, free kicks and now penalties). He is also cheaper than Murphy! Yet, Bolton are not only in a dreadful form, but also with a couple of difficult fixtures ahead.
I have not watched any of D Murphy's games this season, yet, he seems to be scoring points, so I guess he is doing well. Just like Bolton, they are not in such a good shape. Yet, the team's performance against Man City and easier fixtures breeds hope that their standing in the upcoming game will improve. Also, Fulham is playing in Europe which can be a double edge sword to his performance.
So, any thoughts?
The team I am thinking of is:
Vorm (Ruddy)
R and S Taylor Simpson (Newcastle) (Taylor (Swansea) Tierney (Nor)) - waiting for Everton's fixtures to cool down and I am bringing in Baines for S Taylor
Mata, Nani, Silva, Van der Vart,Murphy/Petrov
Rooney, Di Santo, Adebayor (I will be bringing up Best for him, so I can get enough money for Baines)
Thanks in advance.Open ControlsBolton beat Villa 0-2, surely that is a good sign that goals are still possible
Open ControlsPls get Gabbidon instead of Tierney, You cant seriously believe that Norwich will get cleansheets.
Looks like your playing a dangerous game, but it could pull off.Open ControlsMuch better idea. Cheers for that as I will for sure listen to your advice.
Well, I will be playing 3 5 2 hoping that my mids will be doing well - counting more on the assists and occassional goals to score points. Any clean sheet and bonus points will come as an extra.
Best and Di Santo are doing decently well and so are their teams, they are both starting up regularly and fixtures are looking good. Much appreciated one more time.Open Controls
Petrov only took the pen because Davies was off the field.
Open ControlsYou won't be able to bring Best in for Adebayor since you already have 3 Newcastle players.
I think its a bit much to treble up on that defence (I can see the logic in doubling up).
Petrov over Murphy, Petrov is infinitely better in open play.
You have to downgrade one of those big mids (even if just to Taarabt, although I'd consider all the way to Dyer), and fix up some of that defence. You can get away with some rotation, but you've left yourself with little options there.Open ControlsCheers for the advices.
"You won’t be able to bring Best in for Adebayor" - well spot it! Although, I am sure that Baines will loose some of his value, I will have to bring up him up right away.
As I will start using a 3 5 2 tactic, Baines is the only defender I would like to bring in to strengthen my defence. So far, the other two defenders (R Taylor and Simpsons) are in top 5 when it comes to total score and fixtures for them are looking good. Bos is the other player whom I like, but I won't have enough money for him.
You are right about Petrov. Yet, for the next couple of fixtures, I am going to bring Murphy in. When Bolton fixture get easier, I will change him for Petrov.Open Controls
