Have two free transfers, thoughts on the following options?
A) Brown > Smalling
B) Silva > Mata, Fabio > Smalling
C) Silva > Ramires, Fabio > Vidic
D) Silva > Ramires, Fabio > Smalling, Brown > JonesOpen Controls
why u gonna take silva out?
Open Controls
B next week
Open ControlsWhy next week? Would miss out on Smalling at home to Wolves.
Open Controls
Don't get both smalling and jones. The only reeson they both played was due to carricks CL suspension, jones needed a warm up match. They rotate rb over Xmas unless rio twangs something.
Open ControlsThis is true, and I don't like it. What about Rio? Didn't he go off with an injury?
Open Controls
can you afford just fabio to smalling? if so i'd just do that for now.
man utd have only conceded 3 goals in 7 away games so i don't see the harm in waiting a week for that, reason being i'd rather have silva than mata next weekOpen Controls
dont think ramires offers enough value at 7.1 imo.
Open Controls
will jones rise tonight?
Open Controls
why Larsson why??? 🙁
Open Controls
very disappointing but there was no authority in that penalty shot
Open Controls
asking myself that all day, such undeserved poor luck, meanwhile sess and ohara get pure luck assists... not just
Open Controls
The part where Bendtner tried an audacious flick that actually came off?
Open Controlsnot convinced that richardson meant to shoot that, and if he did, he definitely did not mean to go near post with the shot, he sliced it and fortunately it fooled the keeper as well, he had that smile on his face of "I didn't mean to that but I scored so I might as well enjoy it"
Open Controls
if he had scored that pen and got 1 or 2 BP . . . instead i get silva 5, walters 3 and the best one is blooming VDV 🙁
officially depressedOpen Controls
Because he knew he'd been a dirty diving cheating b*stard and at the last minute his concience got the better of him and subconciously he didnt want to score
Open Controlsit was a legitimate penalty.
Open Controlsalways, always a foul. Not sure what game you saw
Open Controlsa) No contact
b) Outside the box even if it was a foul anywayOpen ControlsYou are completely blind.
Open Controlswell the referee, commentators, and general footballers would all disagree; nothing is absolutely certain, but yeah you're completely and utterly wrong
Open Controls+1million. i'm confused how people can think otherwise, the side on slow mo proves there is zero contact
Open Controlsinside the box and there was definite contact.
Open Controls
Right Bendy is out!!
who for though? Sturridge or Welbeck?
CheersOpen Controls
how serious was sorensen's injury?
Open Controls
Most of my rivals in a cash league have got Bale but I'm stuck with VDV. I also need to get rid of Saylor, NDyer, Turner, (Drenthe and Ramsey). Basically I have no idea what to do with my team so help would be really appreciated.. Guess I'm taking a hit this week.
Considering VDV + Saylor -> Bale + Verminator. Thoughts ?Open ControlsVDV will come good but Bales form is too good to ignore, seems good to me overall
Open Controls
Saylor would have to be the priority given he's done and dusted.
Without knowing the rest of your team, the transfers you mentioned sound pretty smart.Open Controls
You're crazy to trade VDV when you have non-playing problems to deal with ...
Open Controls
Best replacement for Drenthe? Got 6.7m and already have Walters. I guess Sess or Larsson?
Open Controls
Can you just bench him? Discussed mid-priced option earlier and there's nobody that appeals that have form and fixtures.
Open ControlsBut that means playing Dyer 🙁
Could play 4-4-2 this week, was considering that. Santos, Jones, Enrique and Walker.Open ControlsYeah thats what I'm going to do, just play Dyer.
If there was anybody else I wanted him (and Ramsey) would be out but there's not so I'll take 2 pts while I make my decision.Open Controls
It's a bit like the VDV situation - if you've stuck by him through the 2 weeks of injury, you might as well hold on to him. Sounds like he wasn't too far off being fit.
Open Controls
Considering a silly punt on Formica and spending the money elsewhere. Don't know why really... vaguely exciting FPL prospect and a player I quite like watching. Maybe that place in my squad will be reserved solely for silly punts - in honour of Drenthe.
Open Controls
Drenthe wasn't a silly punt, just unlucky. Haven't looked at his injury record, but he hasn't played many games. 100 games in 6 years might tell it's own story.
Open ControlsYeah, I didn't really mean a silly FPL choice per se... more a silly punt on my behalf because I'd barely seen him play and got carried away with the hype. Feels like it's come back to haunt me. I'd love to have him over that DGW but I'm not sure if I'm that patient.
Open Controls
You keeping Rambo over the next few weeks? I think I may.
Open ControlsAbsolutely. He's been unlucky not to score or assist recently. It'll come.
Ps. No shades of Moses here AT ALL.Open ControlsRambo has been getting about 2 goodish chances every game for a while now. He is 'trying too hard to score', as they say, and he smashes most of them over. He'll start scoring when he stops thinking about it and it'll come naturally. Whether that happens in a game or two's time or in 3 or 4 months, who knows. Be nice for AFC if it happened some time soon!
Open Controls
I remember when you said he was "must have" a good few weeks ago.
I did nearly go for him but glad I stayed clear, especially after all the points Drenthe has racked up over the last couple of weeks!Open Controls
Evening all,
I have a quick query re the QPR gk situation. Does anyone know if cerny is first choice now and how long he will likely hold the position?
Cheers in advance for any infoOpen ControlsSHould hold it til the next WC Murphy and Kenny both have muscle injuries.
Open Controls
Seriously?
Open Controls
i do understand why you would ask that, unfortunately i am a non-paying member.... just thought there maybe another site?
Open Controlstotalfpl.com in the left hand column under "livenews"
Open ControlsAh! Apologies...
Open Controls
Any Sinclair owners thinking of getting rid? If so, who for?
Open ControlsYep, Gonna get in Nani/Young/Mata
Open ControlsMid priced players are so hard to gain fruitful points hauls from. For me they're like 1/3 of the whole 11 roughly and I've had Drenthe, Walters, Sinclair, Ramsey, Sessegnon e.t.c all in the weeks where they've not done much. Think i might just keep, and then sell for Larsson after 2 gw's. I like the look of him if he's on pens too.
Open Controls
took him out this week for Bale 🙂
Open Controls
Does anyone think hernadez to yak is a good move, considering their next 3 fixtures??
Open Controls
Is caulker ever gonna play for swansea again???
Open Controls
i bit early, but anyone think about (C) ba over Rvp?
ba for norwich away, rvp got fulham home
both looked tempting, but norwich's defence look utter crapOpen Controls
Hennessey has done me proud when standing in for Vorm this season. 2 penalty saves for him, I think now.
No room for sentimentality though. Back to warming my bench next week.Open Controls
2 players that have those little flashes that make you go hmm, I wonder, and that you don't hear much of on here are Hennessy and Shane Long
Open Controls
Which of these:
1. Kompany - Jones
2. Aguero - Ba and Wilko Jones (-4)
Current team:
Komp JE Simp Brown Wilk
Silva Bale Walter Brunt Dyer
RVP Ade AgueroOpen Controlsgo Simps to Jones, with Saylor out Newcastle's defence has gone downhill faster than Eddie the Eagle, and with ShawX back, Stoke look much more reliable at the back.
Open Controls
I got rid of Rooney for Adebayor this week. Would it be mad to get him back in now that Chicharito is injured?
Open ControlsBrown > Smalling
Yay or nay?
Smalling is a a rotation risk and Sunderland may get tighter at the back now O'Neil is there but provides Man U defensive cover that I've been lacking.Open ControlsWhy Jamsiep? Blackburn are certainly scoring goals at the moment.
Open Controls
What happened to Michael Turner today? Simply injured or out of favour?
Open Controls
Good question! I'd like to know that too...
Open Controls
Anyone recommend going with Smalling this week? I can't really go with Jones as leader of my mini-league has him.
Despite Jones' regular starts, I actually consider Smalling as being more nailed on when fully fit and in form. Is that not the case?Open ControlsThey're both potential rotation risks but with our midfield injuries Jones may play in the centre a bit more often with Smalling RB.
Jones could easily get pushed back and Smalling rotated.
The xmas period isn't great for rotation, there's always the idea of getting both!Open ControlsHard to say, there hasn't been a time yet when all of Utd's CBs and RBs have been fit.
Open ControlsI wouldn't worry about your rival having Jones, though, one Utd CB instead of another isn't much of a differential anyway.
Open Controls
Why can't you go for Jones? Just aim for the team that will get the most points.
I think both will play a similar number of games over the next few months. Jones perhaps slightly more as he'll get the odd game in midfield but enough for 1.1? Not sure.Open ControlsWell, we have Bale, Silva, RVP, Ramsey, Silva, Vorm and Jenny in common so I'd prefer more differentials. I also think Smalling carries more attacking threat when I think back to the end of last season where he filled in at RB, very successfully.
Open Controls
Unless Jones is going to carve out a role in midfield, I don't agree with him being the most secure option. Sure, he's played just about every game but that's because United have had injuries all along the back 4... hell, even Jonny Evans has had quite a bit of game time!
I think United's strongest back 4 does include Jones (and Smalling for that matter), but I don't think Ferdinand is going to be discarded just yet.
Smalling Jones Vidic EvraOpen Controls
Tiger is back on the prowl...
Open Controls
Need some help with my midfield. I have Silva, Walters, Cabaye, Sessegnon and Ramsay and want to bring in Bale, but can't figure out who to take out (not Silva obviously). Walters is on pens, Sess has been looking good. I'm bringing in Ba for Aguero, so having Cabaye might be too much Toon (also have Simpson). Any ideas?
Open ControlsCabaye for sure
Open Controls
wouldn't bother with Ba. norwich will beat newcastle.
Open Controlseither Ramsey or Cabaye, but without knowing the rest of your team it's hard to call.
Open ControlsCheers. Here's my team: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/224/event-history/14/
Open Controlsyeah I'd get Cabaye out.
Open Controls
Ba - form and fixtures
Open ControlsBa for sure
Open Controlsrooney. newcastle are on a slippery slope and with a lot of defenders out they'll struggle. just watch...
Open Controls
Need ideas please:
Vorm (Beg)
Komp Enrique Brown (Naylor Saylor)
DVD Silva Larsson Dyer (drenthe)
RVP Ade Suarez
2 FT & 1M in bank
Would like a decent replacement for drenthe somehow...Open Controls
Good, cheap defender (under 5m) will good fixtures coming up that will hopefully get me a few clean sheets up until the wildcard?
