Our first members article of the weeks delves into the Gameweek 23 data this evening. Tottenham’s in-form midfielders catch the eye, whilst he also assess the recent displays of City and Liverpool’s weekend goal heroes before analysing the recent decline of Arsenal’s playmaker and Everton’s lone frontman.
Ah, the joys of navigating a Corby 6600 trouser press/ ironing centre (lol) in a generic hotel room near a roundabout.
Save me Puppy.

Just get a suit carrier, loads less hassle

These are the futurelol
I'm totally in favour of a new price rise/fall system.
MOTM price rises would be pretty funny.
Any suggestions?
I might have a huge forehead, but it's not good for thinking.
TV more significant? less significant? more rises/falls? less rise falls?
What do you have in mind?I'm not particularly crazy for TV but it becomes more important throughout the season. I just don't agree with players like Lukaku being able to drop prior to Newcastle at home, despite being in decent form.
3 blanks in a row begs to differ.
*waits for stats dump**insert stats*
😉Thing is all casuals see is the returns.
3 blanks = sell.
They don't look at fixtures.Yeah, true.
Not entirely fair on those who might have him in prep for a DGW. Ah well, as TM said, it's part of the game.We will get the last laugh.
Sellers better use his money to get a bigger couch.
Why not? You'll get his points against Newcastle - those who sold him won't.
It's part of the game.
I miss the days when 0.3m rises weekly were commonplace.
Agree, if you're going to have them at all they should be significantly larger and quicker rises and falls.
Playing in a draft league.
Is it worth trading Ighalo for Kane, would require a hit to bring him in?I think Ighalo will get as many points as Kane.
Thanks
Ighalo is highest scoring forward , why do people continue to under rate him.
What kind of draft leagues have hits?
last q
lose kdb or ozil ?a leading q. there.
ive got both. see what kdb does tmrw.I Have no kun so i need to make the move soon one or the other ill probably decide mid game tomorrow
Who replaces Vertonghen at Spurs?
Wimmer probably.
Dier/Wimmer I reckon.
Kevin Wimmer, probably.
Wimmer
Wimper
I suppose it makes sense to have 2 FTs to allow for the DGW.
No point loading up now to have only 8 in the blank GW.No guarantee of an early DGW anyway.
Exactly. Mind you all this faffing about who to get I shall probably lose more points in the meantime than any DGW actually gets me.
Maybe just a couple of hits to get them in and one to clear the decks after they all fail.
Any news on Darmian? Who will play in his place?
supposedly fine, no punctured lung as was suspected:
https://twitter.com/DarmianOfficial/status/691343574789652481
don't know extent, probably find out before the Derby game on Friday
http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/10143132/matteo-darmian-is-recovering-well-from-a-head-injuryCheers Sinik! 🙂
Borthwick-Jackson's name was mentioned a fair bit.
Arthur Albiston?
He'd probably improve the team even now!
If my SV of a player is an odd number and CV or a player is even does that mean I won't lose value from 1 price drop?
Have Ozil at 9.3, his value now is 10. Projected to drop tomorrow..Safe here?if both your purchase value and the current value of a player are even (or both odd) you lose 0.1m sell value on the next drop
just think of it as, can I cleanly subtract my purchase value from the current value and divide it by 2. if you can, the next drop hurts you.
PP and CV need to be different for no change.
Thanks all. Conclusion is I won't lose value on Ozil.
Will Townsend be nailed and a good attacking threat?
Probably nailed, attacking threat remains to be seen. If Newcastle are still in the FA cup, this weekend might be a good opportunity to do some scouting.
Nope. Watford knocked them out
Seems a lot of money for him imo.
That's what I thought. I'm thinking he must be nailed for that money?!
They signed Thauvin for the same amount
Ah yes the ever present thauvin. Good point. Yeah Newcastle aren't afraid to splash big money on terrible signings
Triggerlips around?
Yes, had a post on the last page.... Oh wait
😛
Have things at uni got better for you? You don't have to reply, it's personal I understand. Was just thinking about it the other day.
Workload is a b!tch other than that it's the same old, go to class/lectures, play pool with mates or hang out in breaks, then revise, FFS, sleep.
It's what I expected uni to be, the work is tough and I would be lying if I said I ain't struggling but I guess it's always going to be challenging to I need to put my head down.Exams?
Every month, they are tough - had four two weeks ago.
If I'm not getting to personal here, you getting on OK with them?
Meh is the only word to say.
Meh is good 🙂
Just put your head down and don't regret not working. Have fun, make friends, and study! 🙂
Cheers babe. 🙂
What's your major?
Computer Science.
Good luck with that, workload must be enormous. I used to be an engineering student, workload sometimes make me wanna cry.
I honestly can't wait till it's over, 2 and a half years left.
If you like it, it won't be a great deal. I switched major cause I found passion in marketing and no matter how huge is the workload, I always manage to keep pushing.
Good luck, bro.Thanks mate, it's really interesting to me. 🙂
Computer genius hey?! Make sure you watch Weird Science. Then you can make a woman out of a few paper clippings and a bra!
"make a woman out of a few paper clippings and a bra!"
Sounds like a lousy version of "Her" the movie.Showing my age but yeah, Kelly LeBrock! Hubba hubba!
the visuals are better than "her" 🙂
She's Alive!
That get's an up vote from me!
I'll check it out. 😉
basically off to bed with no transfers
lets hope i Don't wake to a major price rise
so If i switch Ozil - It will be gosling
switch KDB - 5.4m mid Antonio
cech - forster // 4.9 Gk
thanks for your help today , Ill make the tough decision tomorrow if its not too late thenNo ones rising tonight
May have to take a -8 this GW 🙁 Man O man am I bad at this game.
Thanks for reading I'm sure you are all captivated but just wanted to share.used ur 2nd wc yet??
No as I keep getting told not to.
I am so confused as to what to do I am just sitting on my hands.
probly best. bound to be a big build up of DGW that need it later
I hope it works out however many you need to take.
I think it's a particularly difficult season.Thanks ILF. Hardest season I have been involved in yet.
what you at in overall standings? you winning your mini league?
dont get disheartened. we all have bad spells.
well some of us 🙂488k OR. Am not in any private ML's thankfully.
Guess I should just take the hits as it doesn't really matter at this point anyway!
No real difference if you finish 400K or 1 millionth? No medals for either.lol its all about the chatter on here really. i dont come on too often, but when i do it cheers me up 🙂
That and battering my workmates season after season lol.Yeah I am addicted tbh. Spend way too much time worrying about my trades than important life stuff. None of my mates even care about EPL.
I'm terrible too. I was captivated. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Yay!! Team awful unite!!
If it helps..just don't get Aguero.
Punt on other forwards and bulk up the mid/ defense in the next fewThanks! It has crossed my mind actually.
May just have to do that and hide behind a couch each week. 🙂
Anyone looking at enner valencia? I wouldn't put a man off doubling up on him and payet with those sexual fixtures.
Also, is ozi--> sanchez looking like a viable option?I am. Sakho isn't back til March and even then, he wasn't that inspiring when he was fit. And Carroll will surely be injured for the rest of his career. So that makes Valencia nailed, and playing with Payet and Antonio, I think he should score plenty if he stays fit.
P.s. I have Payet tooJust hard to ignore aguero, kane, lukaku front 3. Along with Costa if fit. I might get both in this week, although I can afford payet and aguero for free too. Just don't wanna let enner go when he's this hot esp with villa at home
A good differential for sure. We might be signing Yilmaz though.
Aguero getting injured before next GW would make my life a whole lot easier. Not that I would ever wish it on anyone. Just fpl wise ☺
Just logged in, do we know when dgw is? If so, which teams?
No.
Ta
Article will be out when the fixture/s is placed.
Liverpool and City (I hope).
Don't forget Everton either way.
Yeah I hope we beat them, we are playing at home though.
You'll go through I think. Then Firmino will deal with you again, in the final. 😀
Firmino will be gone.
is it time to get rid of moreno??
pools defence is poor - his points are poor
am i answering my own q.?You can always hide if DGW is nearby.
you have a point...
i shall do more mulling
Id still play him in a DWG
They will want to print the tickets ASAP
Is Chadli likely to be nailed once back to full fitness?
No
A lot of competition, Lamela, Alli, Erikssen, Son
Just started listening to Coldplay, they are bloody good. I went from Chief Keef to Coldplay.
Love Coldplay. Clocks being a favourite
I'm listening to it right now... 😆
It's a song that makes me feel sad, I like Viva La Vida.Yellow, Magic, The Scientists, A Sky Full of Stars, Every Teardrop is a Waterfall
The list goes onViva La Vida is the ultimate uplifting tune for me. First song I heard on the radio after my Dad told me he had terminal cancer. It still gives me strength now
Wow. Rough stuff Che.
SorryNo mate, not at all. Sh!t happens, it's how you deal with it. Good tunes help
Sorry bro hope all is well!
Why aye, life goes on!
Now there is two songs
L. I. F. E. G. O. E. S. O. N. by Noah and the Whale
And
Jack and Diane by John Mellencamp
they get slagged off a lot. but some of their stuff is ok 🙂
Why do they get slagged off? 😯
see below 🙂
To get to the good stuff you gotta go back to around 1967-72
Those 5 years changed music forever 🙂 some real hidden gems if you look aroundlike this 😆
Do you have a favourite from the era?
There is already some Coldplay on the soon to be unofficial FFS music compilation. Looking some more to go on
Anything progressive/ hippy/ obscure
Found a few I REALLY like that I'd never even heard of before.
Few that spring to mind are: early Pink Floyd (Piper at the Gates of Dawn), Uriel, Ultimate Spinach, Sweetwater, The Doors, Arthur Brown, United States of America.One for the playlist if I had to pin you down?
I have a playlist of all my favourites but The Doors are a must listen to
Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine is like a best of, but try listen to When The Music's Over any live version. Their debut album "The Doors" is probably the best thoughWhen the music is over is on the playlist. Thanks
The Doors, Jefferson airplane, Deep purple and fleetweed mac are some good bands.
I like most of them. Come on give me one track each of you!
What did you make of Aslan cheese?
I listened too a few tracks. I have to say it didn't grab me but they do get a spot on the playlist. It isn't about my taste. It is music for getting BAPS to
back in the day by Ahmed. youtube is blocked at work so can't give you the link.
The doors: people are strange
Jefferson airplane: White rabit
Fleetwood Mac: the Chaind
Deep purple: Hey joe and when a blind man criesAll good songs. I love White Rabbit so that goes on the Unofficial FFS playlist
YES
🙂
Well before my time but open to anything
Aby example?Born in 96, way past my era. Any good artists I should search?
I'm 1992 but always found myself drawn to that particular era. Even my father doesn't go that far back, he's more of a 70's hard/ classic rock guy.
See above for a few bands I like. A lot of them are psychedelic/ hippy bands but some great songsSounds like your Dad knows the score if you're into Floyd and The Doors
Funnily enough he can't stand the Doors. He hates the way Jim incorporates poetry so much into the songs and has lots of monologues. Personally I think it's what makes them so good.
But yeah, he got me into Floyd's later stuff like The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon and I tracked back from there. He's more into Black Sabbath and Motorhead 😀Shine on you crazy diamond!
Some neo psychedelic bands from the late 90s and the 2000s like tame impala, the warlocks and the black angels are great.
Conclusion: stick to fetty wap
Try Animals, one of their B-sides
Coldplay eh? Don't think I've listened to any of their stuff since I was at school, VLV aside.
More a fan of Kasabian/Arctic Monkeys/Oasis/The Smiths myself. 🙂Oasis
The drink?
Uwotm8?
Can i ask the administrators of this site, how much time is involved in keeping it up and running?
I can only assume that guys like Mark, Granville, Jonty, etc. have full-time jobs and do this on the side, but it must be close to a full-time job keeping this site up-to-date ... or do they have a large pool of contributors doing this? Guys like Torres Magic et al. spend so much time organising leagues and side-competitions ... where do you find the time, or are you retired millionaires with an unbridalled dedication to FFS?
In any case, it's a marvel of modern science and technology and thank you guys for the site. I've been a member for 6 years and have enjoyed every gut-wrenching and joyous moment, there are some sincerely knowledgeable and funny folk who traipse these parts.
Cheers all ... feeling the love! TEsWell said and I concur
All are part of England's Bourgeoisie
The guys that write the articles do the main work.
The only leagues etc are the FFS Cups.Well said, however this site is run for a profit, mainly as an affiliate site. Credit to them but bigger credit to the regulars, community article writers and the mods who do everything for no payment.
Beasts of No nation.
Great stuff there!Great film.
Good performance by Idris Elba.
Yeah.
Sadly no BAFTA or Oscars nomination.I'd recommend the Danish Girl and Ex machina.
Alicia Vikander is my new favorite actress.
Which January window transfers do you definitely see happening?
Pato seems to be done. West Ham may well get their striker, Emineke or Yilmaz?
Yilmaz is big, white and sweaty in fifa
Is this the part where that gets deleted? 😉
😛
I fully expect Chelsea to launch their no messing around bid of £38m for Teixeira any time soon now..
We have the money, I think we should pay up. 🙂
Liverpool have not had a great time pursuing players in Ukraine and can't help but feel this will end much the same
Same here, I don't think we will pay up but I'd be ecstatic if we did.
No because apparently this is somehow different...
"apparently"
Well what's the difference?
He is a beast in the game, and in real life ... he and Emeinke last year were unstoppable!
looks like Newcastle have beaten us to remy. When will they sign a defender!!
Morning lads. Need some opinions on Ener Valencia, anyone watching him lately?
West Ham are looking to sign a new striker.
Do they want Benteke for £15m by any chance ?
They actually enquired about Balotelli haha
ok but transfers window will close before next gw. I want to hear some thought about him if they dont buy anyone else
Very much on my radar, having a great player like Payet to assist him is a real plus too!
worth a punt?
Given no other pressing concerns, yeah
do you know latest news about Caroll and Sakho injuries?
Caroll seems out for the season & Sakho isn't back till March I think.
Sakho back about mid February. Carroll is perma-injured.
Caroll should be back in about 4/5 weeks, training that is. Unless he gets injured making a cup of tea or something.
...which he will
no doubt
Best 4.8 defender?
Cedric
Williams
Reid
Taylor
Williams imo. Or Simpson if u need sum cash
Would someone be so kind as to remind me what the first tiebreak rule for the FFS Cup is?
Rule number 1) Never talk about FFS Cup
Rule number 2) Always talk about DGW's
Seems I've got it arse about 😉
Most goals scored but i'm not sure
Cheers
Overall rank I think.
I had that feeling.....if so I'm out :(.......thought I was golden when he captained Baines! Although he had Firmino and Alli plump his score up significantly
Draft game decision. Keep hold of Jagielka or make a move to bring in Kompany before others nab him?
Make a move imo.
So getting Firminho in.. at least 1 priority it seems now.
Ozil, KDB, Mahrez, Payet,
Which of these should be axed tho!*Firmino
OzilMahrez imo
Wouldn't get Firmino in now. Liverpool have a blank GW27 (confirmed) and if there is a replay in the FA Cup against West Ham *OR* the FA decide to put the fixture after GW27, then you'll be bringing in a player who has a blank before he has a DGW. I'd just wait for more news. A good move if it's confirmed soon that it'll be GW25.
If you are going to ditch one, I'd say Ozil
Screw this all DGW talk because https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYtjpIwamos
Only the 20th time you've linked it 😛
*shakes fist in air* Curse you lack of viable youtube links pertaining wildcards!
Should I expect the second round draw of FFS cup tomorrow ? Was pretty chuffed to beat my oppenent who had Aguero 😀 luckily he also had Lukaku captain though B-)
Got ya!! my bad 😎
Whenever the article comes out.
Risers:
Fallers: Bojan, Kolarov

If you're still around, I found the link 🙂 Coldplay and Me Myself and I were my suggestions.

^The page before has some as well.Thanks Slamdog! I might release Radio Cheeseoid later today if interested. Really liking the variety
The G-Eazy one is the one I was looking for thanks!
