Bonus Prediction
Ba 3, Best 2, Walters 1
OKAY TIME TO COME CLEAN, was waiting for a new page so everyone saw.
First of all, im not actually mattyd. I apologise to mattyd if he ever reads this, but i took his link and name to 'blame' someone for my stupidity, main reason i am saying that part is because from my encounters on here with he is alright and should be able to post here in peace later on
Secondly, i dont even play FPL..lol..
Thirdly, I have no idea how Nigel came to the conclusion of my team link being mattyd's but he seemed to fall for it, so again i apologise to mattyd, although it did seem to work wonders, maybe i should have done it to alex kheruson to get that guy hated haha.
Fourthly i apologise to Christina and Jafa who offered alot of their time and support to me.
Fifthly im not a 26 year old pe teacher, im 17 years old.
Anything else you wish to ask before I piss off forever?
:O why don't you play FPL?!
I play a different FF game.
Seriously that all? haha sweeet
p.s im also not Australian.
double bluff..
Me and John are also the same person.
Jack, Im busy at work mate.. When I pop back on and see things like this is annoys me...
hi different fpl player ...hows u?
WTF
Aaah, that's my cue to log off. Enough of this kak.
-JohnD link your team
-JO, get a life
-Alex, your the biggest bullsh*tter of them all
I will link my team
y what happend?
If it makes you feel better Christina you were my favourite 😆
You will get over me. Eventually all 17 year old boys grow up.
I actually think Christina hated you...with minimal toleration.
😯
Yes, why did you not just register & play FPL? It's not if you did not spend hours on here anyway?
I actually have lots of questions to ask you, but what the hell you will probably lie about it anyway.
😕
Because i play a different fpl game, which is almost identical.
Shoot Christina, im being honest..
Not a good idea for a 41 year old woman chatting to a 17 year old boy.
🙄
Christina, you sure you're not an 18 year old girl?
i mean really, REALLY sure?
Haha okay we will leave it be!
Been a pleasure talking to you 😉
And....im outta here guys
Christina.. your a bloke... I give up with this bull...
no your bloody not.. whats with the above comment if your being honest.. Your talking shite and I dont believe a single wotrd of it
haha no wonder you're here most of the time. too jobless to be a PE teacher.
how many 17 year old PE teachers do you know?
how did you keep posting fpl stats, if you're not registered?
foxsports.com.au fantasy premier league runs of the same scoring system..check it out if you want to.
what did you get by offering ppl nonsensical advice?
So then you are Australian? Why would a non-Australian play on that site?
Lol..ok that was a lie, but the rest is true!!
So you are an Australian?
Maybe.
Of course he is man, the times he logged on should have given it away and the times he complained about having to watch matches. I never cared about time differences when I was 17. Most of the advice was sound yet with a narcissistic element of wummage. I didn´t really care how old he was, look at his name and grav, I always assumed he was young (17-21) and inconsistently mature.
There is no doubt that JackOff and MattyD are the same person - his name is Matt Devine, and he is indeed an Australian. I have been on to him for a long while and can bore you all with some details if you like. This latest piece of bullshit about not even playing FPL and "hijacking" MattyD's team link is just a desperate attempt to try and deny the fact that he has two FFS accounts and was actually posting questions and replies to himself. Matt, if you had of just come clean honestly and admitted the facts, people would have probably laughed, called you a twat, and then gone back to listening to your advice etc. You've decided to keep fibbing to try and save face and that will only make things worse. Grow up mate...
that's what I said double bluff and then he tries to make out he is me too... c*ck sucker
I can 100% confirm that i am not him.
Im leaving the site anyway so i dont see what staying on here trying to lie more would do?
I just didnt think it was fair on people to let them hanging.
why bring me into it if your not lying?
Because you were clearly getting worked up haha
Bye
"I just didnt think it was fair on people to let them hanging ' Hanging? On what you knob? 😕
Was it fair to lie to people and give advice that was contrary to what you were doing yourself?
People like you don't disappear, you'll be back with a new username, if you aren't already.
Okay firstly, my advice was all my thoughts...they werent a lie.
See previous page, Christina and Jafa wanted answers.
I will disappear, I can 100% guarentee that also, no point being on here now haha..cya!
I might stop visiting.this site its frequented by the mentally ill.
+1000000
I suggest you stay.
Some people on here offer brilliant advice.
There was a bloke on the hearts site I go on that pretended to be a soldier who became an entrepreneur businessman who got cancer and finally logged on as someone else and pretended to have died.
Folk on the site started a huge charity campaign on his behalf while he was 'stricken'.
The guy eventually came on admitting everything and blamed his mental health.
Sad.
Nigel Napoli(can I call you that?) - for interest sake how much time did you spend on the investigation?
.."have been on to him for a long while..."
Probably waayyyy too long, but the fact is he is only 75% right.
Of course you can call me that.
It really wasn't that long, the past 2-3 weeks to be precise.
I for one am glad this lying prick is leaving.
This situation reminds me of Katiegate.
Only difference is she had class.
Hope tough talking ChrisKing doesn't mind me answering your question and dragging this thing on a little longer. You and Jaf were friendly to the guy and therefore deserve an answer.
Maybe I am a loser that needs to get a life :-), but I didn't really waste too much time on the 'investigation'. When I said ..”have been on to him for a long while…” I meant that I 'just knew' that he was a shonk that was fabricating stuff from early on, but I didn't have any proof. Firstly, the guy was hard not to notice - he was very abusive to people a while back, and a couple of people pulled him up on it. One time a guy named 'MattyD' came to his defence, praising up his wonderful advice to people etc and bagging the guy that had pulled him up, and I was immediately suspicious that it sounded like a 'self-post', and so started to take more notice of his posts (which were numerous). I just remembered certain things he claimed about his transfers, points, ranking etc and soon saw inconsistencies. It was only in the last week that he slipped up with the following two posts:
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2011/10/27/the-scoutcast-%e2%80%93-episode-60-man-with-a-van/comment-page-11/#comment-2153923
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2011/10/27/the-scoutcast-%e2%80%93-episode-60-man-with-a-van/comment-page-11/#comment-2153936
The first one revealed which league he was in, I just scrolled through until I found a team that had scored the amount of points he'd claimed to have got that week, and one of those teams had the exact same players he had said he had. When I noticed the team name 'Matty's Maulers' and the manager's name 'Matt Devine' I remembered the MattyD post defending him and knew it was him and that they were the same guy. The second post linked above confirmed that this was his team. I just then bookmarked it and had a look (and laugh) when I saw him post comments about his team, transfers etc. Didn't know if I was going to out him, but when he started blatantly lying to you and Jafa, I thought you both deserved to know he was full of crap. Interestingly then last night that MattyD made another appearence, this time linking his team, which was identical to my bookmarked one of Jack's! 😯 Not that I needed convincing anyway. The manager's name then got changed to 'Jack Hopkins', but has since been changed back to 'Matt Devine'. Really, it took longer to type this up than what any detective work took!
ChrisKing is right that no-one got hurt, but this guy was giving advice left, right & centre here numerous times a day, it wasn't like he was keeping a low profile. And you guys had been helpful to him from what I saw...
Sorry mate I wasn't trying to 'tough talk' just thought this is all childish behaviour from everyone.
Should I have kept it myself? If we could private message each other I would have told him that I was onto him and to start being truthful with people who trusted him. It was either let him keep lying to everyone or out him.
just got back from lunch.. Nigel you are wasted mate... I suggest you apply for a job on watchdog or something... absolutely brilliant
JACK(OFF)ATTACK. SAYS:
Anything else you wish to ask before I piss off forever?
....and not a moment too soon.
He'll be back, calling himself Susan, dressing in his dead mothers clothes.etc
Lol
Nigel, Jackoff, you are both effing pathetic
Jacoff - Nobody cares, just leave, go away, nobody has been hurt and nobody wants you here anymore.
You are only a kid so I can understand the fascination with coming on and giving people the shits, you did that and you can now go out, do some school work, play some sport, get a girlfriend etc. Goodbye.
Nigel - Seriously I dunno what kind of life you live but I sure am happy i'm not living the same one.
To 'stalk' someone on a website and take evidence after evidence is just ridiculous, you need.
Im not saying what Jack did wasnt dumb, but seriously you need to get over it. You aren't a hero here, I actually pity the life you live and how much time you have on your hands.
Both of you can f*ck right off in my honest opinion.
I'd like to add that everyone should shut up on the matter and move on to more important issues, like FOOTBALL!
Its a foobtball forum, lets treat it like one and everyone grow up.
Jack! MattyD! Wait I'm so confused. I mean you were always helpful and I thank you for that, but why did you go to all of these measures to lie to us;
My rotating goalkeepers Given & Al-Habsi have given me a total of 30 points so far (forgot rotation one week).
Individual points:
Given: 32
Al-Habsi: 42
FAIL
since we're on this, keeping rotations for gw12 - 20ish?
i currently have given/ruddy, needless to say.. it's been quite bad
Was looking into this myself since Given's fixtures are AWFUL.
So far it's between:
Howard + Vorm (awesome until GW21)
(Sunderland Keeper) + Robinson
Robinson + Vorm
Do people think the extra money for Howard + Vorm or Sun + Robinson is worth it over Robinson + Vorm?
I don't see Robinson keeping many clean sheets, even with the decent home fixtures when I'll play him, whereas Howard could be good for quite a few clean sheets.
In exchange for the info please leave your opinion/views/ideas!
i think you should go fr vorm ruddy instead of robinson vorm.. robbo wont get clean sheets so might as well save the 1m and play vorm every week.. consistent 3 points with CS's here and there
Good point, the logic was that the extra 0.8m for Robbo + Vorm would get me 3 extra favourable home games than Ruddy + Vorm... can't see it being good value in that case.
How about
Vorm + Ruddy @ 8.2m (4 favourable home games when rotated)
vs.
Howard + Vorm @ 9.6m (8 favourable home games when rotated + Everton good for cleanies?)
Wortht he extra? Not so sure at the moment...
thanks for the info!
will definitely keep those pairing in mind
the cost of the pairings seems kinda steep for me, vorm n robinson is about the most i'll go at 9.2mil
the way i see it, it's saving on the keeps to ensure i have good cap choices each wk, looking to get rvp, rooney, silva and vdv.
anyone to go with ruddy or kenny?
Yeah I know what you mean, but when you consider that if you play it right, there's double the favourable home fixtures and a greater potential for clean sheets from teams with good defences at home (Swansea and Everton)
Howard and Vorm? Howard has a good run of fixtures so you may not need vorm
But I bought Vorm for 4m so it's not costing me anything extra, plus they rotate amazingly until around GW21 (look at the ticker and you will see what I mean)
I have Al Habsi and Vorm, and people said I was crazy because they didn´t ¨rotate well¨.
Vorm-45
Al Habsi-42
But did they didn't rotate particularly well.
You can only play 1 keeper at a time so adding their totals isn't the same as saying they rotate well. Look at GW2 and GW3 for example. They both scored well but you wouldn't get the points for both of them.
Saying that if you picked the correct player each week you would have got 5+ points which is decent, although they were luck to get 3 penalty saves between them, especially Al Habsi away to City - no-one in their right might would have picked him!
plus you
Think Walters will rise any time soon? Also, anyone gonna take a punt on Cleverley?
Given > Al-Habsi
Would you for a 4pt hit?... Would you do it full stop?
a 4pt hit for a keeper??? not even in a double gw
no.
This is just silly! Given has Norwich home next and actually has a chance of keeping a clean sheet.
Looking at the fixtures from GW12 onwards, I get the feeling you haven't even looked at the fixture list
Anyone think Hibbert (RB at Everton) at 4.8 is a bargain? Or Hughes (when fit) at 4.7?
hibbert starts every game? then yes! 4.8 for an everton defender with those fixtures looks good..
definitly a better pick than baines at 8! however with hibbert dnt expect a goal or assist ever. he always holds his line since baines is always somewhere close to the strikers
since everybody is getting hot on hibbert here are some career stats:
at everton since 2000
league: 225 app 0 goals
fa cup: 18 app 0 goals
league cup: 15 app 0 goals
europe: 19 app 0 goals
OVERALL: 277 app O goals
i like having vorm and ruddy.. consistent 3 points every week if not for the odd CS for vorm.. plus cost me just 8 million.. apart from Man city clean sheets hard to come by..
man u and ars.. ouch
I have Vorm/Ruddy as well. They don't rotate well and you'll get stung the odd week but there are so few clean sheets about that you'll get more points spending your cash elsewhere imo.
Vorm/Krul have been terrific for me so far, and only 0.5m more expensive. Their fixtures are stiffening though...
599 points - would have liked to have made 600 this week but can't complain. Best position I've ever had.
RMT guys finally i can afford for 3 big up front and 2 expensive Mids. but these days i see people use 3 expensive Mids (Silva, VDV, Nani or Mata) and 2 expensive FW.
which formula you will choose? discuss 😀
oh sorry, here my team link
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/938607/event-history/10/
I transfered in RVP, VDV
Out: Nasri, Adebayor
Naaice gravitar.
yup, who's that? pls tell me it's u
Rukawa is a blokes name, I think... so unlikely
Sounds moves for me, smells a little like chasing points, but because RVP and VDV are both season keepers barring injury and their fixtures are decent they are very sound moves (just dont swap them out if they dont score next week!)
Personally my goal hasnt been to have 3 exp mids and 2 exp forwards (although thats what ill have for next few gwks). My aim is to have a minimum of 2 captaincy options (preferably 3) and united coverage (as well as City, Tot and Ars) and my current team is the best way i could acheive that. It means my united coverage is Nani, but we'll see how that works out, i still back him to do well if United do well.
Silva is the best
VDV play forward, doesnt play Europa this season. he's on PK, FK...
if you decided to choose 2 Mid way, i think you should have Silva and VDV, not Nani
I dont like things called coverage. i choose the best player at a price, no matter what's his team
Nani is one of the best FPL points scorers historically with a price of just 10m. United have great fixtures until early January.
Silva has outscored Nani til now, but if United start to perform then its likely Nani will bring in the points - and probably to a larger degree than Silva. Anyway, for now my big 5 will be Silva, VDV, Nani with RVP and Aguero up front. Happy with that.
TBH, anything can work.
the last few weeks have been about big name strikers and last night it was a cheaper option (Ba) that pulled in a hatful of points.
what's your team?
i updated team link above 😀
but i see the players top overall always use 3 big Mids + 2 big FW, not my formula
I'm thinking about it too (my post in last page) and seeing these things favor MF.
- 1 more point than FW for goal
- 1 more point if the team keep CS
- same point for assist
I think the combination of expensive MF/FW with 6.x mil players based on good fixtures will be my way to go... Not a definite of 2 or 3 expensive MF. I will shuffle on the fixtures.
"combination of expensive MF/FW with 6.x mil players" is on both 2 formulas certainly 😀
but finally, which we should go for the next 5-10 GWs?
For next 5-10 GWs, I definitely keep VDV, Silva, RVP, and .. Adebayor.
One of Rooney or Nani will be included to make it 3 expensive MF or 3 expensive FW. I still can't decide.. 🙂
i see some pro players here like Christina and Jaha also use the 3 big Mids.
maybe i must change to it after?
"...pro players here like Christina..."
😳
*Jafa
Don't know about 'pro' but Inalize is a very canny player.
Strange that you should pop in on a morning like today....
i'll choose 3 mids and 2 forwards between those, gives room to fit in any in form mid/low price striker from time to time.
who's ur bigs up front? rooney, rvp, aguero? who will u replace them with in times of injury, suspension or loss or form?
ur big mid is likely to be cheaper than ur big forward, hence more to spread ard!
my team this week
Krul (Vorm)
Enrique ShawX Raylor Simpson Laet
Silva VDV Ramsey Sinclair Dyer
RVP Aguero Suarez
let's see what going on, maybe i have to change to 3 big Mid
Right. I only came on this morning to ask pilks to cleverly? No man u players at the moment. Yes or no?
Cheers for the replies guys. Think I'll give it a week or so.
Who should I play in Gw11? ... Brown or Naylor?
Brown - Away to meet Man Utd. Sunderland will not have their first-choice GK, Mignolet, and O'Shea.
Naylor - Away to meet Liverpool. Swansea have yet to keep CS away from home.
Krul in goal and other DF are Richards, Simpson, De Laet.
Some opinions please.
i'd go with swansea, more likely to keep a c/s at liverpool than s'land at old trafford
I think so for Swansea's chance. Btw, as Liverpool fan, it's not what I want to happen.. 🙁
Neither are going to keep a cleansheet for you, so it really comes down to who you see getting thrashed less. I don't think Liverpool have a crushing victory in them so I'd probably go with the SWA defender.
worth doing kompany to vermaelen for a 4pt hit?
before you jump on me for taking a hit to replace a defender, see the following exhibits:
a) kompany suspended GW11, vermaelen home to west brom
b) kompany likely to fall in value this week, in which case i can't afford vermaelen
c) vermaelen's next 10 fixtures: WBA nor FUL wig EVE mcy avl WOL QPR ful; kompany's next 10 fixtures (excl. GW11): NEW liv NOR che ARS STK wba sun LIV wig --> edge to vermaelen
d) vermaelen's attacking returns since '09: 7 goals, 2 assists in 3,429 minutes; kompany's attacking returns since '09: 2 goals, 3 assists in 6,138 minutes.
i think the above exhibits demonstrate why i want vermaelen, and it starts with GW11.
if i wait 'til next week, it will mean a hit anyways, as i won't have enough funds to make the switch in a single transfer.
soooooo.....go for it?
Nope, kompany is well worth keeping, imo with those fixtures Komp is still going to keep more clean sheets than Vermaelen. I've been looking at getting a united def in for kompany, that might be where to look
Just remember Arsenals defense is cake regardless of who they are playing against, Vermaelen may improve things but not dramatically.
Kompany by contrasts plays for a team with a solid defense regardless of fixtures
Its a no brainer for me. Don't be fooled by fixtures
United cover is where I would look if you really wanted to get rid of Kompany
i hear you, about united, but let's analyze the full picture thus far:
over the first 10 GWs, despite all the talk about arsenal's defensive frailties, they've only kept one less cleanie than united (and citeh, for that matter).
as for the fixtures argument between ARS/MANU lines up as follows:
ManU: SUN swa NEW avl WOL qpr ful WIG BLA new
Ars: WBA nor FUL wig EVE mcy avl WOL QPR ful
By opp table position (rank then home/away):
ManU: 14h 10a 3h 9a 17h 12a 15a 20h 18h 3a (avg. home opp rank: 14.4; avg. away opp rank: 9.8; overall opp rank: 12.1)
Ars: 13h 8a 15h 20a 16h 1a 9a 17h 12h 15a (avg home opp rank: 14.6; avg away opp rank: 10.6; overall opp rank: 12.6)
So, on fixtures, Ars is looking better than ManU (if slightly), not to mention the fact that with Koscielny/Mertesacker/Vermaelen/Santos across the back and at full strength, my feeling is that we're about to come into some shockingly, abnormally decent defensive performances from Arsenal.
Finally, who from the United back four can give you the attacking returns that Verm has over the past 3500 minutes? Vidic is the only one who comes close, but is a full 1.1 more expensive.
You would have to try your luck with someone like Jones, he gets forward a lot. I would also disagree with you that Arsenal has better fixtures than United after all there is a certain match against Manchester City. Also Jones is cheaper than Vermaelen, when Smalling comes back he would also be a better option and cheaper still.
and just to carry that fixture analysis across to citeh:
QPR NEW liv NOR che ARS STK wba sun LIV
or
18h 3h 6a 8h 4a 7h 11h 13a 14a 6h (avg home opp rank: 8.8; avg away opp rank: 9.25; overall opp rank: 9)
or
3 places in the table tougher (on current form) than either united or arsenal
and here we're thinking about clean sheets/attacking points, NOT wins/losses, so the relative fixture strength tends to matter.
why spend 6.7 on a ars def? surely there are other ways to spend ur cash?
i really do rate vermaelen, but i'll really sooner get more ars attacking coverage than defensive ones
By the time you get Vermaelen in your team you have to take him out again.
And, by the poster's logic you'd be better off with someone like Anton Ferds who has as many cleanies so far as anyone else and is a bonus point magnet, not a rotation risk and only £4.7m.
Arsenal Defs are just not good value for the money they cost.
nomar, you've posted some serious wisdom in the past, so i'll give you the benefit of the doubt here and cast aside your clear QPR bias!
however, the upcoming fixtures for QPR are
MCY stk nor WBA liv MAN SUN swa ars NOR
1h 11a 8a 13h 6a 2h 14h 10a 7a 8h
home: 7.6; away: 8.4; overall: 8.0
in general, pretty f*in tough. also, the BP argument doesn't really hold water, as vermaelen plays the same type of role that ferdinand does, so assuming arsenal put in the same type of display that qpr do on the day, vermaelen will get the same BPs that ferdinand does.
also, with my attacking 8 of:
silva/allen/nani/vdv/ramsey
rvp/bendtner/adebayor,
i'm not sure how i would use the extra cash from kompany > ferdinand (not vermaelen), so the price difference isn't a huge deal for me.
BUT i would like to know why you say that i'd be taking vermaelen out of my team as soon as i get him in.
thanks!
Because he's injury prone and can't stay healthy.
Right now I find it hard to see how any FPL def justifies a £6.7m price tag, let alone one who is constantly injured and plays in a notoriously shaky defence.
But I'm sure none of that will put you off, so I hope he works out for you.
OK peoples, here's my thoughts for GW11:
Krul (Vorm)
Ward, Enrique, Simpson (Naylor, Kompany)
VDV, Silva, Walters, PetrovS (PetrovM)
Suarez, Rooney, Agbonlahor
only change was Rooney > RvP. madness or mustness?
I wouldn't say a 'mustness' but most people here seem to.
you're not jumping on the bandwagon?
happy with your frontline?
I've a feeling all the people dropping Rooney/Nani etc this week will get bitten on the bum. Lovely fixtures coming up for United (although, admittedly for Arsenal too), but I see an easy win against Sunderland this week.
will nani get gametime consistenly though thats the problem
I think so. The only games he hasn't started in the Prem are Liverpool and Everton away (I think), both where Fergie would've wanted someone to help out defensively a bit more than Nani does. There's no games like that coming up, I'd be surprised if he isn't starting the vast majority of games.
i know what you mean. people forget how good Rooney has been this season and i keep thinking that this week is THE week for Man U to shine again.
but on the other side, it's like: take the bait, make the change, get on the bandwagon.
screw it, i'll keep Rooney and take 2 FT's with me for after the international break.
aaah...I have a friend on the FT-GW12(Free train)....
Not having RVP is a worry for you, and I wouldn't want to be without him this week, but the idea of taking Rooney out before Sunderland at home just doesn't seem right to me. Suarez out isn't great given his fixture either, so it would be a big point hit needed otherwise. Just my 2 cents though.
Did anyone see the Everton game? How did Man U play?
Thanks for the comments guys. This is my team at the moment and i will probably now not change my side and then make two free transfers for gameweek 12
Given (Vorm)
J Enrique, Simpson, Shawcross, (Bosingwa), (Kompany)
Martin Petrov, Johnson (Norwich midfielder), Silva, Ramsay, (Sinclair)
Van Persie. Rooney, Adebayor
I have opted for Martin Petrov (as opposed to Scott Sinclair) as Bolton have the easier fixture. Not sure though as Petrov has been very poor recently
Vorm, Kenny
Enrique, Wilkinson, Rangel, Bosingwa, Kompany
VDV, Sinclair, Mata, Silva, Ferguson
RVP, Ade, Best
RMT pls?
Thinking about playing a 3-4-3 leaving Kompany, Rangel and Ferguson out.
Does anyone think its worth it to use my FT to get a better keeper in?
NNo, your keeper combo is fine.
Upgrading Best or Ferguson would be a better use of your transfer. Or stick with what you have and have 2 frees for the 2 week International break after this next GW.
Yeah, they've been fine til now. Vorm is away to Pool and Kenny at home to Citeh. Not sure how to play that one out. Have actually got 1.1 in the bank. Thinking to swap Bose out soon before his price starts plummeting and use that plus money in the bank to upgrade Ferguson to someone who actually starts.
here is my team linked I hope...
Excuse my stupidity, but how do you actually link your team? Do you have to be a member first?
Any Fifa 12-ers on here? Or anyone for that matter
Got it today for cheap, starting a career as Arsenal, any realistic signings I should add?
Thinking of getting in a striker, a holding mid and Hazard, and wanna get rid of some players...
Doesnt have to be entirely realistic as thats boring.
Just need to convince myself it would happen otherwise I don't enjoy it lol
Yeah Chris. Ive had fifa12 since it came out. Arsenal is one of my favorite teams to play for career mode. My first signing was Mario Gotze from Dortmund, on a loan to buy. Second major signing was Javi Garcia from Benfica. Third was Mat Hummels also from Dortmund.
I personally like rvp for his in-game style of play. I like to play my virtual pro along the front line, and rvp has the best link-up for my game style.
Also for your first season, i would almost exclusively play Aarron and Jack as your midfield 2. Ramsey shows significant improvement early on.
Thanks alot lonecomander.
I like the Ramsey-Wilshere combo, only downside is I feel bad benching Arteta haha.
Brilliant shout with Hummels, I feel Merts is useless on this game.
At the moment I have the current 4-3-3 lineup, rotating Hazard/Gervinho/Walcott for the wing spots.
Probably going to sell Arshavin and Diaby as they aren't getting played (mind you I have played 3 games haha) what position does Garcia play?
The term "Cover" has its sense....
For Example if someone did not have Bale in the his team But have VDV still gets the something out of TOT-QPR game......
what u say guys?
Cover is overrated in my opinion.
For example, if someone had Ramsey, but not Nani, and was selling a forward and had 12.5 to spend, the better choice would be RVP regardless of cover.
Still semi-important to not put all your eggs in one basket though.
what if their cover this week was adebayor, ramsey, rooney, balotelli, sturridge, downing?
some time its matters .sometimes not.....
only to some extend in offense, but "cover" is much more important in Def
in def every defender share cleanie
for offense, only a few key players have this characteristic and its not guaranteed pts like def.
for example, i have sturr and ramsey as my CHE and ARS cover this week. 5-3 score was bound to get me some returns but then i only 2 from each. So cover in offense doesn't always work
FPL is 90% luck, you guys over think it too much. Just choose the players you think will score the most points. The other 10% is based on knowledge of form and fixtures.
Roo ---> rvp done. 3 weeks too late 🙁
its never too late......
it's a luxurious position to be in, i suppose.
i WAS thinking the same thing.
nearly everyone in my league has Rooney and are hoping that he will come good again. i'm one of them.
i have a funny feeling that a lot of people will do Rooney > RvP and then Man U will have a good win against SUN.
of course, if RvP does perform and Rooneys barren spell continue........
Fairly set now on doing Brown to Wilkinson to free up a bit of cash. My other free will probably be used for either:
1. Barton to Ramsey; or
2. Nani to VDV
Second one a big knee-jerky but Spurs' fixtures are good and VDV looks like he'll score all season, plus his price is rocketing and I'm losing ground to rivals who have him.
Which option would you gor for? Thanks!
Given
Simpson Collins Enrique
VDV Silva Sinclair Nani
RVP Agbon Studge
Subs – Vorm, ShawX, Moses, Brown.
1 FT 0.2 Bank
suggest making any transfers this week? or save?
i'm considering mcauley & hibbert (EVE) from GW12
Does anyone know the highest a players value has gotten over years? For instants c Ronaldo in them at year were he score 40 something goals? Surely it would have been huge. Is there a limit a player can rise
Too???
I think CRon hit 14m that season? I know he never left my team from the start.
No limit, it would just go up as long as there's people left to buy the player. I think Ronaldo started (that season) £14M, and went to over £15M. Henry would've been around that area too.
Van Nist and Owen were quite expensive
Hi guys what are your thoughts on Rooney. He has not done much these last few weeks but does anyone fancy him now that Man United have easier fixtures coming up.
I am thinking of making these changes (for a four point penalty):
Rooney to Suarez
Given to De Gea
What do you think?
I think that although Suarez has Chelsea away he could score due to Chelsea's poor defence.
Any WBA fans here? Trying to sort out my defense and was curious as to whether McAuley would be a constant in the West Brom back-line.
Well, more so than Jones and Dawson, apparently ... 🙂
Sooo Doos what's your take on the exposure of our young friend Jack?
I had a brief read, he doesn't play FPL and posts on a FPL website, thats about the jist right?
Now that you mention it....you guys were best friends were you not?
We were tag team partners, it seems I'm gonna have to go it alone for a while 😥
unless....?
unless what...?
unless you are also one of his "characters"....
uh oh
😯
Was hoping we could be partners in crime!
One of his characters, interesting. I'm just too darn nice to be one of those I'm afraid 🙂
I will be your partner Fratboy.
I have read this forum for a while now and you were the first one to reply to my first post the other week, it is destiny is it not?
Haha DEMI IM SORRY
You replied to the next time I posted for help just the other day.
If Fratboy doesn't want me I will join with you 😀
Haha funnily enough, yes
Apparently he plays a premier league game on an Aussie website
The Aussie with schizophrenia? Never really liked him, Christina - a touch of the TM about him ... always very negative ...
🙂
What's yours, Christina?
Yeah I'm considering. Esp since he & Hibbert (EVE) rotate very well, for about 10GWs
I think he was injured at the start of the season.
Seems nailed on and has played well.
I have him in my team and he will come in very handy after GW 12 when Kompany/Simpson have pretty tough fixtures
Hope so! Just put him in
You need to keep an eye on Shorey, then ... 🙂
Thanks for the replies, decent replacement for De Laet.
Manchester United have the easiest run till the end of the season
Why? because the have played all of the other 5 teams in the big 6 already (Ars, Tot, Che, Liv, Cit).
Which obviously means they only have to play them once more each.
Cue: Get United players now!!
It's best to wait till they gain some goal-scoring form.
Agreed. They're in a bit of a transitional period now I think, SAF will work from the back for some solidarity and go from there. They'll be back, but i'm keeping my eye on their form, not bringing Nani/Young in just in case they may score big
I also agree. I will wait and see as to how the sunderland game goes, I can see their form may rise. Remember they have had a tough patch of fixtures, don't go all anti Man United now as a result. Form will come in the next couple of weeks
I'll be watching the Sunderland game to see whether or not it's worth putting Nani in, there's no doubt their fixtures are getting much better it's just a case of whether or not their form can make the most of a 10.1 mil investment.
There are arguments for and against
Defence - The ones worth getting are more expensive than City defenders and will probably keep less cleanies
Midfield - Nani/Young have been poor and VDV/Silva/Mata/Lampard are in better form.
Forwards - Rooney only nailed on and Aguero/RVP are playing better at the moment.
Seen a few people say this and I have to say I agree.
United fan?
Are City going to keep that many cleanies with the system they are playing? They have the same number as QPR, Swansea, United and have let in more goals than Newcastle.
This.
I dont think City are the same side as last year defensively, they've conceded goals to Wolves, Villa, Bolton and Fulham this year. With tougher fixtures to come I think you may not see great returns for city defenders.
Was contemplating Kompany > Jones and then possible reversing the transfer later and was rubbished out of it, you reckon its a good plan?
I think so. Jones is nailed on for me, particularly over the relatively decent fixtures coming up. Evans is a bit of a risk though. At any point, Raphael or Ferdinand could come in and Evans will probably make way.
United wont get that many clean sheets, but who will.
Personally going with, De Gea, I still think hes more nailed on, now with Rafael Vidic and Ferdinand fit. And you can get a decent Defender for 4 mil to make up for the extra 0.6, and you cannot get a quality keeper at 4.
Im totally thinking the same think. De Gea is more nailed on, he could be this years Hart
Wow didn't think I'd end up getting just 1 point for Begovic and 1 point for ShawX. Lesson learned this week, bragging does NOT work for me haha 🙂
thats the problem with doubling/trebling, however next 3 weeks u may get 12 pts each game from them
"Now that is an encouraging thought" (Gandalf, badass)
I think that one may have to be relearned once or twice ... 😉
Yeah, I have Bego, Shawcross and Wilkinson, so painful stuff all round. Quite fancied a Stoke cleanie yesterday too. Ah well, there'll be weeks where it pays off, and others where it doesn't.
Very painful! Your season picked up Bubbles? Shame to see so many sad emoticons from you this year!
Ha, nah not really. Still hoving just outside the million mark. Stopped the bleeding with the mini-leaguers now. Gap has stopped growing, time to slowly but surely reel them in!
Any news on ShawX anyone???
What happened with jack
Have to say most of the time he was negative at every comment i posted.
He turned out to be a REAL W*nker.
Commissioner Dreyfuss is a w*nker, Jack is an onanist! 😉
Hhhm, not nearly as aggressive though.
Tosey - now that I got you on the line...what you doing defence wise going forward? Was it you that said Stoke + BlackB from gw 12-->
I have Enrique and thought of selling but, Im not so sure anymore. I paid 5.2m and he is up at 5.5m I think. If I cut him lose then that's it, won't get him in again. I know Pool have tough games, but I can bench him i think or even play for the odd assist.
Maybe I should let Mata/Sturridge go rather.
I am going to give Spurs/Arsenal a go for a while ...
defence wise im bargain basement apart from enrique n its gone well recently. not enough consistency to double/treble, had doubled on newcastle but got rid of s.taylor last week
i have no idea about the rest of my team at the moment, i need to shift gerrard n bent over the next few weeks n unsure whether i want rooney lamps nani or even baines. need to decide this week tho as whoever i bring in for gerrard dictates what i can afford to do the cpl of weeks after
swaying towards lampard at the moment, altho could do gerrard to mata then bent to rooney?
any thoughts?
Trouble with Lampard is that he really affects the rest of your team ... and Chelsea may be about to enter a major wobble ...
Aaah, I remember your post from yday...not sure about your 15...Think I suggested SG-->Silva this week. Wilko/Hibbert next week?
Lol, talking point of the day.
He was negative most of the time, and rarely answered direct questions from me. But hey, I couldn't really give a toss, got more important things to worry about! I know the good guys on here. Nuff said
For all those still languishing with Ferguson, you could do worse than putting in Reo-Coker ... 🙂
Nope.
