A superb Stamford Bridge encounter brings Sunday’s events to a close and allows us to take a step back and start examining the action in more detail. Our Members can now lose themselves in our selection of key stats from the matches so far, and assess our view on where the Fantasy Premier League bonus could be heading…
What would you make of this team for next week:
Vorm
Lescott Kompany Cahill
Demps Silva Valencia Sess
Zamora RVP GrahamOpen ControlsDempsey as captain too
Open Controls
Looking fine although it helps if you tell us your bench too (or LINK YOUR TEAM)
Not keen on Cahill as a fantasy player as he wont play every game and Chelsea DF is shipping goals left right and centreOpen ControlsBench is Enrique, Luke Young, Dyer and Mignolet/Ruddy, I actually haven't got Vorm or Kompany in yet, it's something I might do, wondering how to improve my defensive performance next week basically! I hate that I got Cahill in to be fair, I just want to get something out of him if I can. If it looks like he won't start though I'll have to get rid of him quickly.
Open Controls
You get killed on this game if you wait to do your transfers this season. Sure it wasnt the case last year (but stand to be corrected?).
I had exactly the right money to do Morison>Ba but wanted to wait until Ba had played and see how he looked before taking a 4pter (already got Sigs for Walters with my FT). As I am on China time by the time I got back from watching the 2 games (3am ish here) it was too late to fire up the computer and risk the wrath of waking up the missus.
So wake up this morning and Ba has risen so I'm 0.1 away from Morison to Ba. Think my team is looking grand for this week anyway so I'm not too fussed but any suggestions of where I can free up the funds to bring in Ba after the Spurs game?
My team is:
Mignolet (Krul)
Kelly Caulker Richards
Sigs Bale(vc) Silva Sess Dempsey(c)
RVP Aguero
Bench: Morison Simpson Huth
Bank 2.2m
Obviously Huth looks the obvious candidate to downgrade but I suspect he will have his ban rescinded and be a great differential during his decent run of fixtures. I'm aware Stoke have a lot of games this month but I still fancy a few cleanies and some possible attacking returns from old Huth.
Any suggestions are more than welcome 🙂Open Controls
buy Cisse instead, he plays higher up the pitch and may well score more 🙂
Open Controls4.3 Simpson
Open Controls
Simpson --> Santon who's 4.2m. Morison --> Ba. Does it work?
Open ControlsIt does actually but there are a few problems. One is that Ba is only one more rise away from it not working and by the time Newc play Spurs it will probably be out of reach.
Alsdo I'll be taking a 4pt hit to do a Newc>Newc DF switch. But needs must I guess to afford the enigma that is BaOpen Controls
gotta be simpson to a 4.0 defender in case ba goes up twice more before next deadline then.
tell you what, i will trade you dyer and .3 you need for sigurdsson.
damn i wish we could do that!Open Controlsoh yeah deffo worth a hit now if it means keeping a newcastle defender in the back vs some 4.0 rubbish.
DO IT, im jealous!!!Open ControlsWould be for an 8pter if I made the move this week. Cant justify an 8pter to be honest.
In all honesty it will end up that I'll get rid of Huth for someone like Evans or Shawx to afford it. But I will do it reluctantly thats for sure. I fancy Huth to do well in the coming GWsOpen ControlsYeah don't think it's worth that much of a hit.
Open Controlsto have ba in place and keep a newcastle defender vs a 4.0 rubbish?
hes got caulker and kelly already, cant think of a good 4.0 to bring in right now worth using. then again, i cant access fpl site atm to look.Open ControlsFAIL, for an 8 pointer i see. yeah thats a bit much 😉
Open Controls
Wish we could too......after the Norwich game though as I fancy some big returns from Siggs
Open Controls
If Huth price is dropping,
Huth > Evans ( Bench him this week)
And then Morison > Ba after deadline on saturday for a FT as Ba will rise only 0.1 more max this week..Open Controls
Thoughts on Huth to Bridge? Will he start at Sunderland?
Open Controls
probably not because he's nothing but a mansized baby with zero ambition for himself...
Surely bought as cover for the worst case scenario that every other sunderland defender, youth team player and Martin O Neill himself are not fit enough to play
Stay well away from himOpen Controls
Anybody think Chelsea yesterday were totally marking valencia out of the game ??
Every time he had the ball there were around 3-4 players who would crowd him from all directions for almost around 70-80 mins.. which resulted in 2 fpl points..
But as soon as CFC were under pressure he was left 1 on 1, looked very attacking and his cross to rooney sort of directly resulted in the 3rd goal..
What do you guys think ??Open Controls
i think you should link your team and quit the jokes 😉
Open ControlsWhen my rank/luck improves I will.. right now its too bad for FFS standards.. 😐
Open Controls
Well it wasn't his fault, Song. Utd were too slow on the ball until Scholes came on. Who thought Scholes would make the difference in such a crunch time? Just wow.
Open ControlsThey werent that slow for Valencia to have a poor game..
My primary purpose watching the match was Valencia as hes in my team (:P), So I was keeping a close eye on him.. And every time he had the ball 3-4 CFC players would just run at him, not only stopping his runs but also stopping his forward/sideways passes.. and on the other end Ivanovic was man handling Young not giving him even an inch of space..
When scholes came on and young off united started attacking through the centre and the left.. and Giggs also shifted to the left and was out smarting ivanovic and even evra started making runs so chelsea started focusing on the left leaving Val alone..
If you see the match again you'll see valencia was more threatening towards the end of the match even at the LB position..
This is what I could make out..Open ControlsAhh.. sorry for the many grammatical mistakes.. 😛
Open Controls
Anybody who has been watching Utd recently could see that Toni V was our dangerman. So it made sense to try and mark him out of the game. It almost worked too
Open Controls
Mignolet/Sorenson
BAE, Senderos, Caulker (Santon, Shotton)
Ben Arfa*** Dempsey, Valencia, Bale (McClean)
RVP, Dzeko, Cisse***
Need to transfer out this week with 2FT.
Would like to know:
1) Who would you bring in for them?
Unlimited funds, I have quite a lot in the bank from removing Rooney (...) and Torres in the last 2 weeks.
My thoughts for the striker are Aguero (need to get him in for that upcoming BLA, BOL, and I'll transfer Dzeko out next week and bring Ba in) and Zamora (Great fixtures).
Midfielder I'm thinking Taarabt (Fixtures and great game the other day, unlucky) and Siggy.
2) Mignolet (ARS) or Sorenson (ful)
I'm inclined to go with Mignolet, I have a feeling Arsenal will disappoint. Also,
3) Is it right to bench McClean after such good form?Open ControlsThat is, *** means I need to transfer out - HBA not starting and Cisse (qpr) obviously suspended.
Open Controlssiggy and aguero imo.
and dzeko >ba next week looks like a good shoutOpen ControlsHmmm, last week I had a choice between AOL and Valencia and went for the safer option - we all know how that turned out. Don't wanna make a similiar mistake.
What's your take on the Mignolet/Sorenson situation?Open Controls
predictions for tmrw?
spurs 2-1 (bale, defoe, suarez)Open Controlsjust a cheeky punt, hes raring to go and has been out 7 games! surely he'll be involved and less racist 😉
Open Controls
liverpool 2-1 (bellamy, gerrard, bale)
Open Controlsheart says 1-0, head says 1-1 at best, maybe 0-1
gerrard and baleOpen Controlshaha we'll see. Plz link team quite annoying when i click someones name and it goes to a random page. We are on a fantasy football site...
Open Controls
Liverpool 2 Spurs 1 (Racist 2, Assou 'Gollywog' Ekotto 1)
Open Controlswow, quite an imagination you have 😉
Open Controls
hi lads,
i'm considering sess > siggy, then fletcher > ba. any thoughts?Open ControlsHmmm is this worth the 4pt hit?
Silva + Santon > Valencia + Dawson
was considering getting in richards/komp for dawson but then i cant afford silva, and city have really juicy fixtures coming up. Also didnt want to get rid of mata, very nice home fixtures in next 3-4 gwks.
Thoughts?
Lineup this week would be:
Vorm
Caulker- Evans- Senderos
Silva - Mata - Bale - Dempsey
Aguero - RVP - Ba
BENCH: Sorensen - ReoCoker - Williamson - SantonOpen ControlsOOPS! Valencia + Dawson > Silva + Santon
Open Controlswould downgrade mata after gw28 when utd's fixtures ease up a bit..
only thing is leaves me with a really really cheap back 5 🙁Open Controls
I like Mata, perhaps even over Silva if he keeps up his form. However, I don't think we're quite at this stage yet.
If you go for that team then you have the option of downgrading 1 of Silva, Mata or Dempsey for someone cheaper and bulking up at the back in a feew weeks.Open Controlsexactly. how do the transfers look for short term?
Open ControlsYeah, quite good I'd say. The Newcastle lads rotate with Senderos and Caulker (if I remember correctly) and you play Jevans every week.
Ba Aguero RVP is probably the best front 3 at the moment and the strength of your midfield 4 makes up for Reo-Coker.
I'd say your set.Open Controls
I'd keep hold of Valencia (he's the one player I dont have that I really want and can't get)
Mata has been a poor fantasy player for his price this year. He probably wont do anything of note for a good few GWs now after last nights returns, so I'd get rid.
But it's very much a judgement call you've gotta make 🙂Open ControlsGaff, if Mata can score big vs utd, he can definately score good vs the likes of:
BOL wba STO??
Its not that hes a poor fantasy player the strikers he was/is providing for couldnt find the finishing touch. If chelsea start bagging goals(like they did today) then that means mata bagging pts!!Open ControlsHe's a great player no doubts in real life. But whatever the reasons may be, he's not worth 9.0+ in the fantasy game. Purely my opinion of course as there are plenty of people who champion him on here.
But to me Chelsea are still a very suspect team with nobody to put their chances away so I'm not too fussed who they are playing. Until they start showing some consistency I wont be buying any of their players. Especially for such a high price.
Also if you can ride out the Pool game (which could still prove fruitful for Toni V) then Utds fixtures ease up considerably.
As a compramise I guess you could do your proposed transfer and then Mata>Toni V after his nice run of fixturesOpen Controls
And ive had valencia over sess for all his good run of fixtures, and sadly see it coming to an end, with nani/young set to be back. Not saying he will be rotated, but the points are more likely to be spread out.
Open ControlsWe obviously disagree! I think Mata will outscore Valencia now for the rest of the season. Whether his points will justify the extra cost I don't know.
Open Controls
as a general rule i dont like the notion of a 4 point hit to bring in two players with road ties, one which i wont start. i like who you are adding, i like who you are dropping, i dont think a hit is necessary. save the tranny and get both next week.
Open Controlsprice rise possibility of silva? currently at 68%. Im just saying double toon rotates perfect with the rest of my defence, and i see silva a necessity in the near future, but would like to keep mata in for his good run from GW 26-28 (BOL wba STO)
Open Controlsso your transfers would put you at .0 in the bank?
Open Controls
Fair point. Your transfers are good but perhaps better done next week.
Open Controls
no no no no no (there's no limit)
Open Controlssorry read it wrong, didn't see you corrected it, now it's just a bit of a maybe/meh, wouldn't bother with Santon
Open Controls
Hmmmmmmz just thought about a transfer I did last night and it could have been better grrr...
Did Welbeck > Ba and Sess > McClean to fund it. Just realized I could have done Sess > Siggy and the fixtures would have worked out perfectly...Open ControlsIsacki, might i ask a small favour since this is dead zone time... may you please shed some insight on my proposed transfers this week? I think it will pay off until gw28, what do you think?
Open ControlsSorry acqua I disappeared for 20 mins....
Silva and Santon are definite players to get in and Dawson definitely should go for now. Just not sure about losing Valencia. He's delivered in good and bad fixtures this year and yesterday's 2 was more of a surprise than par for the course. People are worried about the wingers getting some of his points but his great run started while Nani was playing every week on the other flank. Young is in iffy FPL form. I'd keep V if I could.Open Controls
Report: Siggy is out for 3 years with a slight niggle, could be fit for Saturday though
Open ControlsThanks... are you sure you mean that exactly?
Open Controls
Am I stupid?
My team is:
Vorm/Sorensen
Evans J/Caulker/Williamson/Richards/Enrique
Demsey/Silva/Sess/Bale/Reo-Coker
Aguero/Ba/RVP
I am thinking of Sess > Mata this week then Reo Coker to McClean next.
I have 4.0 in the bank so I have some options, I just thought some Chelsea coverage would be good and Mata done ok on the weekend...Open ControlsI predict Mata will outscore Sess over the next 4 weeks but not by much.
McClean looks better value that Reo Coker as well so go for it if there's nothing else you want to change.Open ControlsThanks, anything else you may change? I know it looks a bit samey but I am struggling to see better options or a decent deferential...
Open ControlsI suppose Enrique's fixtures are quite bad but it depends how much you'd lose by selling him and who you'd get in. You can afford to bench him and play Jevans and Richards every week and rotate Calker/Williamson.
The rest of your team are tried and tested FFS favourites, that's why it looks samey. I wouldn't really want to tinker with it just because of that (despite my name!)
Sess > Mata is a nice move in my opinion but I wouldn't dare touch Silva, Dempsey, Bale, RVP, Ba or Aguero.Open Controls
How about Reo-Coker>Sigs and then use the cash to upgrade in DF at another time?
Sess is one of the most in-form players in the game and is playing upfont some games. Would seem a shame to get rid for Mata who's either very hot or frezzing cold (mostly cold though)Open Controls
Good afternoon everyone. Totally off topic but i need your idea.
what do you think about his accent? is he actually good at English? I actually want to kick his a*s by showing off his English. Though he's good at English but it doesnt make sense when he's talking to Vietnamese
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0-NWyaxiyYOpen Controlsyep, sounds clear to me.
Open Controls
Bonuses added-disappointing only 2 for Aguero as Mark predicted.
Open Controlsjust rvp and aguero bps. at least sess isnt mocking me further from the bench.
Open Controls
thanx guys . . do we reckon tht will happen b4 the spurs game ???
Open Controls
No, he's risen twice already in 2 days, right?
So in theory he can only rise .1m more. I'd be surprise if he rises more than that anyway, most people who got him in did so on WC on Saturday (hence the Saturday night rise) then the knee jerkers yesterday.
Will be interesting to see anyway.Open Controls
93 points after Bonuses, BAE and Bale to play and i still think I'm going to be knocked out of the cup, how sickening!!
Open Controls
I'm on 85 with BAE and Bale - my cup opponent is on 81 with Enrique and Bale - so want the win, he's a Raylor :-S
Open Controls
69 points with bale
if i didnt make any transfers, id be on 84. Im SO PISSED!!!!!
sorry. its just cisse single handedly turned my rvp (C) gw into a rvp (no C) gw.Open Controls91 with a pleasant surprise of 1 for Lescott and 1 for Mignolet, Makes up for being shafted with only 1 for Graham, he scored the winner goddamit! I'll take that though, YAY!
Open Controlsfor whatever reason the fpl site acts funny at work. if anyone would post them, i would be very thankful.
Open ControlsSure there'll be a new post soon with them all in. Normally pretty on the ball these FFS peeps
Open Controls
Lmao @ Henry bonus pt but nothing for Theo!
Open ControlsAcqua I disappeared for 20 mins - have replied to your query!
Open ControlsIs this the earliest the BPs have updated all year? Remarkable.

Unable to log into the members area 🙁
Open Controlsme neither, then again im not a member 😉

Cheers Isacki me myself left too 🙂 So yay or nay to -4 this week?
Feel really good about it, just want some support behind my decision!
For ppl who werent on:
Dawson + Valencia > Santon + Silva (-4pts)Open ControlsEPIC FAIL
Open ControlsCare to link you team or state your reasoning mr hot shot know-it-all??
Open Controlsnvm im not surprised by your ignorant comment/reply after reading you earlier post: "I wouldn’t be surprised if Henry rigged the site to get a bonus point, the cheating bastard"
you disgust meOpen ControlsNothing wrong with hits if they improve your team and I would take one here. Only reservation is about Valencia continuing to be United's dominant midfielder, but overall I can't object.
PS don't bother with timewastersOpen ControlsWhat? he is a cheating bastard! Why? I'll give you a clue, I'm Irish
Open Controls
You already have aguero.. So you can afford not having silva for now... Stay with aguero till the BLA/BOL matches..
May be Mata > Sess/sigurdsson instead and avoid a hit..
Right now mata is too inconsistent FPL wise.. Only Chelsea player I would have is strurridge..
OR Dawson > Richards and get some city defensive cover..Open Controls
this week was bad 🙁
43 with bale and enrique to go 🙁 i didn't expect this 🙁 no BP for sess, booos 🙁
so disillusioned with my poor judgement every time 🙁 all i aim is to be above average, that's all 🙁
right now, time to get rid of walters 🙁Open Controls
Hello Fellas, advice needed!
Mignolet Krul
Caulker Shotton Santon Enrique Kelly
Sessegnon McClean Dempsey Bale Silva
RVP Aguero Morrison
Got 2 FTs and 1.3 in the bank
Thinking:
1. Enrique->Evans; Morrison->Ba
2. Sessegnon->Siggurdsson; Morrison->Ba; Enrique->Richards (-4pt)
What says y'all???Open Controls
