Valencia and Sess

mata/moses are the two on teams in the top half of the league in terms of upcoming fixture difficulty.

valencia/sess are the men on form.

coin toss.

if you want a more detailed analysis of the form of valencia/mata/sess, see:

Bit weak up front, I'd transfer a bit more money from your defence to upgrade Aguero.

seriously, though, you'll need braces from your front 3 every week to offset the risk you're taking with up to SIX punts in def/mid.

would rethink one of rooney/aguero, probably dropping aguero as you have silva.

or do the unthinkable and replace RVP with henry.

You really going without Bale? Really? I like the Ramires move but I would move things around to accommodate Bale in 5* luxury if I were you!

Do you have those keepers now? If so I'd keep them too.

Not sure if Evans is nailed on to be honest, I can see us starting the same back four as we did against City for a little while now...

Smalling__Jones__Rio__Evra

Front 3. Gorgeous.

The problem you've got is...

There are loads of great value forwards in the FLP this year, and very few great value mids. Drop one of your forwards to Sturridge or Yak and get Bale in I reckon

To be honest mate there is not much to argue with here. It's obviously top heavy but your defence is very decent considering (looks like you have an awesome overall team value).

Rooney may not be worth it though with United's fixtures.

You may have to rethink Kompany due to the ban also. Congrats for joining the mavericks on the Moses-McClean rotation in midfield.

Would rather have Bale than Silva, fwiw.

TY all!!!
Allways good to read comments from proven value member of FFS 😉

Fratboy - I want to send Bale out because of fixtures... He has horrible fixtures, and I don't know if he will keep his form with those fixtures... I remember last season he scoring good for 3 gws and then 2 2 2 2 .... unlike his mate VDV... But I might be wrong this year...
As to the keepers, i have them since Gw2 or 3, so I will keep them....they are cheap and I think they are enough...would love to have hart, but ain't got the money...
Evans is a gamble, but might get me some points in the easy fixtures... i hope..

JFR - RVP ( is a season keeper imo (i know how much people hate this) ; Aguero (look as city fixtures) ; Rooney (he will explode soon, bad fixtures to him mean nothing, just look at the begginging of the seaosn)

Impressve Tackle - I'm keeping Kompany because I have him since the begginig of the season,and I'm sure I will want him back, and woun't be able to afford it if I sell... its only two gws... Rooney (read what I wrote to JFR)

thank you all for your review, much apreciated!

love it

I love when you just write something in the morning out of true passion. Happens all the time.

Did you write one for Scholes?

That's really not at all bad you know ... 🙂
I'm not an Arsenal supporter but I really felt something when he scored and reacted the way he did. It was one of those rare sporting moments; a truly beautiful and perfect thing.

I would if I had th meoney...

Thinking about it.

No. Not when theres vorm who a lot cheaper and will proba end up with similar pointage

Would rather have Richards, Kompany and Lescott than Hart

You get save points whether your keeper is good or not, So I would rather have someone like Hennessey or Al Habsi that does a lot of work for the team, even if they dont get a cleansheet.

Yes

Defence in A doesn't look much better to me, it's just Skrtel over Smalling isn't it? Not much in that for me.

Main differences seem to be Nani/Sess or Valencia/Dempsey and for that reason, as well as Sturridge, I'd go B. If you don't rate Smalling then pick someone else, plenty of decent 5.0 defs.

Your a monkey.

I like this. A bit different but still quite good.

Savic is a CB

10 pts for me. But not too much in my first 11 that I'm proud of.

I hope Ade fires a blank vs Eve since my rivals captained him and the law of averages says he will then rape Wolves as my al capitino.

😉

Most certainly I am too. Back to basics. He's fresh off a vacation from Dubai. Time to set roll in 2012.

Anyone (C) Vorm? RVP's due a penalty miss.

I'd put Bale, Ade, VDV, Rooney, Nani, Valencia, Aguero, Silva and maybe even Odem above RVP for captaincy this week if I'm honest.

Not for me. The Swans still haven't conceded more than 1 goal at home this season.

You aren't going to make any friends with this haha.

Are you a doppelganger? Didn't you see 6mboyjam's post at the top of the page 😡

see above

Similiar is true of the Fulham defence though. Not that many cleanies at home.

I fancy a couple of Huth goals coming up in the next batch of games.

Even Swindon scored 2 against Wigan, by that logic, Aguero and Silva ARE necessary for me this weekend 😯

Better value than Shotton(4.1m) with Swans/Wba/Nor/Sun at home in next 7? I doubt it.

the rotating story box at the top gets larger/smaller depending on what story is in the box atm.

they could solve the problem by having all headers for articles be the same size, but probably not at the top of anyone's list of priorities.

I agree with this ... I generally work on the principle that if the GK is cheaper than the defenders that play, and vice versa then they are the ones worth getting too. Don't know if that's the way others work?

e.g. Senderos & Kelly cheaper than Stockdale / Schwarzer

Richards cheaper than Hart

Sorenson cheaper than Shawcross/Huth

Mignolet cheaper than Bardsley/Brown

Santon / Simpson cheaper than Krul

tough choice.

have a 4th defender with a shout for a CS?

if not, i'd bench.....noooo, i can't be of help. walters OOP but liv better against stk style of play than che against sun's.

i'm thinking sess just edges it on current form.

🙂 Thanks for that buddy! Take that Mickie ol' mate!

Interesting. He does look a real threat on goal, his pace is quite amazing for the position he plays.

looks like he may well have been given license to push forward from AVB, who has at times utilised him as an immobile CDM, as previously he has not been a renown goalscorer...good find Dan...interesting

so he's been work on the offensive and defensive sides of his game in training? Well done Ramires

under NO circumstances would i say that your team needs a WC from a injury/rotation POV.

wait until the last minute and then use the WC to take advantage of new players/prospects.

it's often easy to be on the fence about some teams, but yours categorically does not need a WC this week.

especially with jones and nani hosting bolton this week.

Sit tight ... at least 2 or 3 of your "doubts" will play.

che have a good run of upcoming fixtures, but 4 of 7 are away, with MUN being one of the home fixtures.

barring discussion of sturridge's knock, you'd have to say that dempsey/sturridge is a better combo. sturridge scores better away from home than at the bridge, whereas all mata's big hauls come at home. so, given the run, you'd have to back sturridge over mata.

then there's dempsey/zamora. dempsey nailed on OOP, zamora is a big ?, of late.

Definitely B, both parts are better in FPL.

You don't have Kompany in defence.

Played, scored and assisted in the FA Cup in what looked to be a full strength side to me also...

I haven't really paid much attention lately, so I may well be wrong. But this has the look of a classic FFS cheap player bandwagon that'll have people scratching their heads in a couple of weeks wondering why the hell they bought him, as he's sat on the bench.

An option I'm contemplating is taking Krul out ans bringing in the Swansea backup keeper who's 4.0 - then play Vorm every game.

Swansea are picking up their fair share of CS, sometimes even against teams you wouldn't expect.

I guess people are looking at it like, for 0.4m than Ferguson (aka Mr 1-Point Cameo) you can get someone who has (or so I've heard) looked very impressive when he's played, has nice scoring potential and whose style of of play attracts bonus points.

All that said, he's not in my team 😀

You can ask 'Arry, but I doubt it.

That doesn't look like a quick question ... but I'll have a read.

GW 21 we're away to blackburn but that's not really the point.

Sounds like a decent enough plan to me - I've had Vorm since GW2, £4.0m and I'll be dumping him with the WC. I think their fixtures toughen considerably and believe the clean sheets will dry up, at least a little. I'm looking at 2 from Sorenson, Mignolet & Krul to rotate but not sure what I'll go with yet.

If you got him in GW2, you will have paid what, 4m? With a current selling price of roughly 4.6?

Ditch him now only to get him back in post-GW30 and you'll likely pay upwards of 5.2... unless you've got cash monies lying around, that's an extra 0.6 you'll have to find from elsewhere, at a time of year when every 0.1 is precious.

Looks good, I'm playing around with something similar.

Ramires --> Walters after this GW for me.

That's badass front 8 but you'll never play McClean, as long as you're cool with that then I am.

G - rate him 6 out of 10, mostly because I do not rate high Vorm's chances for a cleanie in the next 9 GWs.
Def - 7. I really like Richards, Senderos, Shotton (OOP, still not sure if he'll play all the time) combination. Not sure about Santon (not a 1st team regular) and Caulker (do not like Swa's fixtures), but at this price this is the best you can possibly get. If you sell Vorm for a cheaper keeper (e.g. Mignolet) you may get some extra money for another def (e.g. Evans).
Mid - 9. If Silva, Dempsey, Bale and Ramires play together in one team they will win the Premiership by themeselves 🙂 (*a note to self* well overstated) Perhaps McClean needs to start more first team appearances before including him in the team. If he does, he will be awesome prospect for his price tag.
For - 10. By the time that Ba returns, these should be the three top scoring Forwards. IMO - the way ahead.

Overall, 8.5, just because I really like your move to put Agu/Roo/RVP in one team 🙂 Nice one and good luck.
