    Moses:

    I have .3 in the bank I could use to upgrade, or I could downgrade for some extra funds just for the sake of it.

    Am I crazy to just keep him? He plays out of position, gets good chances, plays every game.. Definition (for me) of a good substitute in case of an unexpected rotation in my starting 11.

    Keep him to rot on my bench? Or change him for someone else to rot?

        yeah he has dropped too much in value to get rid now. Look at Yaya toure from last year, he eventually came good

          Thanks guys!

          Now.. to ship Woodgate or Sinclair? Tomorrow's game will decide a lot.

          Still toying with Mata and Sturridge.. Probably will keep both (though would have preferred VdV)

      If he is your bench mid with the odd appearance then I wouldn't worry about it at all, in fact, he's a great bench player.

    Anyone knows how the FPL ranking system works?

    I mean, few weeks ago my rival and I had the same points overall but he was placed above me because he had a higher gameweek points.. This week we have the same overall points again and I have higher gw points then him but still ranked below him?

    Probably not important but just curious.

          Felt good but I know my rivals will captain VDV so I took a punt captaining the incompetent prick 😀 The plan was just for this week, next week Bale will be gone for Rooney but not so sure anymore now 😕

          Are you sticking with Nani?

            I will until after the international break. No transfers next week for me. But when I re-assess for GW12, Nani is on notice. I've already mentally prepared myself to lose him, probably to find a way to get in Aguero (or Hernandez)

              Just cant bring myself to go the next few weeks without any Man.Utd players despite their poor form. Was thinking of Nani and Hernandez/Welbeck as well, but dont wanna risk the rotation. Think the safest bet is still with Rooney, really hope that his price will plummet this week.

    Take out kompany and mordic for bale and wilkinson
    then
    Woodgate and agblohnor for Brown 9great run of games) and Torres- Gona come good
    Then
    Ramsey & Taylor for Olsson (great run) and Sessegon another great run???

    What you think, theres just no point in getting van der vaart when ive got persie and rooney up there and then torres to make my points, Everyone goes for the big hitters but i dont see this is the way to win, i am currently top of my league and ive never had a big hitting team!!! i just picked the corr3ectg captain

      VDV will keep on raking in the points. You'll miss out on a player who can consistently get 10+

      Last year he had a brilliant run around this time, and I kept thinking: "No way will this continue. He's bound to drop off, and I'm already too late." Didn't happen until injury stopped him.

      Same with Carroll (newcastle) last year. Same with Charlie Adam. I missed them all thinking others will come just as good. I was wrong.

            Scratch that..

            Do A. Then you have Rooney - Suarez - RvP

            If Rooney continues to do poorly, you can take him out for Aguero

              Changed my mind.
              My first thoughts were Rooney to RVP (so he can have Nani - Silva - VDV) and RVP - Suarez - Sturridge.

              A gives him the option of later switching either RVP/Rooney for Aguero in the future if needed.

Midfield, currently have Larsson, Murphy, Sinclair, Osman (yes, imagine!) and Walters. Then Forwards, Rooney, Agbonlahor and Ba. So major reshuffle required, within budget of course

                  Larsson is criminally underrated on here it seems... the 5th highest scoring midfielder in the game at 6.6m. 3 goals, 4 assists, averaging 5.1PPG having played every game so far. Only downside at the moment is that he's a booking away from suspension.

                  Quality little player, can't believe Sunderland snapped him up on a free.

      You should have silver. VDV, RVP and Silver are surely must haves for any wildcard team. I also think your defense is too expensive, downgrade defense to try and get silver in for one of the mid range midfield players

          Very few clean sheets this year obviously so you probably want to play 3 in defence, a stoke, fulham and villa defender would be decent at budget prices, like wilkinson, baird, hutton..

          Personally I'm gonna splash out on baines from next week as he plays so high up the pitch so I'd advise having a look at him also!

          I'm eyeing up a cheeky punt on Tony Hibbert... between GW12-22 their home schedule reads Wolves, Stoke, Norwich, Swansea, Bolton, Blackburn. He seems to play pretty high up the pitch in home games too.

          I'm thinking about moving towards having Kompany, Evans, Enrique and Hibbert- which gives you a Manchester defender and a Merseyside defender at home every week at a an average cost of less than 5.5m each (on current prices)... add in Wilkinson at 4m and you've spent 25m total. Bargain. Nice in theory, not sure how it'll work in practice though, with rotation issues for Evans/Wilkinson.

      VDV, RVP and Silva are musts.. I would also say Enrique is a must.. Forget Graham and Sinclair, the rest looks good then.

      But remember Kompany is suspended for the next game though if you plan on wildcarding for the following week

    Would just like to mention how brilliant Swansea were on Saturday. I know they were only playing Bolton but look at Britton and Allen's passing chalkboards:

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/chalkboards/95HPZk7835auP8C2rVOz

    They'll probably come unstuck against the better teams but who can disrupt their passing and keep the ball themselves, but I can see them continuing to pass a lot of the lesser teams into submission, particularly at home. They had 70% possession on Saturday and made over twice as many passes as Bolton. I don't see them being like Blackpool either where they eventually get found out after a while because they actually know how to defend to a degree, and they have the mighty Vorminator in goal.

        Dyer still had five shots, 2 on target and 3 blocked compared to Allen's two (one off Target and the goal) so he's still certainly a threat but I'd expect Allen to chip in with goals/assists on a more regular and consistent basis as he's involved in more of the play.

        Jerome's even worse though. Comparable to Heskey. He's been benched behind Walters for the last few games anyway. I'd say Jones is more likely to displace him and even then, Walters is a good chance to play ar right midfield.

            First, that's a singular, not plural, and secondly, stupid question, and thirdly, the statement is literally correct, it didn't matter they were getting shots on target, they were unable to put the ball in the net more than once and it took ages. Having seen the WBA match I still don't think they will deliver many thrashings.

    Morning, everyone who's ruining the start of the working week 😀

    So, uhoh, FISO says RVP is 88% to a rise having risen already yesterday! But TOTALFPL disagrees by not having him anywhere on the rises page implying he's below 48%.

    As I feared, this is important because he plays Tuesday and if he rises today it puts pressure on us to transfer before seeing if he survives the match.

      TotalFPL didn't have anyone at 100% to rise tonight (ramsey was 95%, the highest), and yet 4 people rose, including Joe Allen who was at 84%. I think FISO will be the more accurate predictor to base your decision on.

        Unfortunately it's not clearcut, FISO missed the Aguero rise a couple days ago but Total caught it. I suggested it was an error in dealing with protection by FISO as Aguero was protected recently. I guess RVP hasn't has he? Really can't commit to either site atm.

        From a month of looking, I gauge FISO is more precise and gets the % almost perfect. But when they do get it wrong, it's in a big way due to a special issue like protection, so the riser isn't even anywhere on the top risers page.
