Open ControlsBa> Drogba for a 4points yay or nay- pros and cons
Open Controls4-pointer
Open Controls
I'd at least wait until after the Spurs game next week. Chelsea also have lots of fixtures coming up in the coming weeks so that's made me think twice about getting him in, though he is looking good atm.
Open Controlsso hold tight with ba?
Open ControlsI would for at least another week because given the fixtures i don't think it's worth a hit.
Open Controlscheers, any suggested future prospects i should look at?
Looking at bringing in:
-siggy
-spurs defender
-drogba/lamps
-gerrard(maybe)Open ControlsSorry for the slow reply, just done the ever exciting Monday morning commute. I'd bring in Siggy for definite, he's too good to miss out on. I have knee-jerked and transferred him in already this week.
I can't see your linked team as the FPL site is banned in my office but if you haven't already got Walcott then he is a decent prospect for the run in.Open Controls
bad gw for me
31 pts with Suarez,RVP,Mata,Bale and Skrtel to play
Ba (C) BIG FAIL!Open Controls
I think you'll be fine with that score - unlucky with the captain but plenty will have gone with Rooney or Dempsey and so you've only those on RVP to worry about but given you've also got him the damage should be limited
Open Controlsto be honest i am only worried for my ML leaguer
i dont know why but he C suarez ðŸ™Open Controls
Ha! Try 15 -(4)!!
Open Controls
Snuck into the top 50, but feels kinda hollow with it being mid gameweek... hoping for an RVP blank for any captainers out there!

Nice work Jim, would be great to see my name up there, somewhere one day.
Imagine if you captained Valencia - top 10?Open ControlsWell even a Rooney(c) might have bumped me up another 10 or so places I guess.... fine margins! I've had a few bad weeks recently, even if I had just got on Siggy a few weeks back when I considered it, I'm sure I'd be in the top 10 about now.
Open ControlsKeep going mate.....would be great to have a winner in our company!!!
I'm hot on your tail......I've just broken into the top 100K for the first time ever. Dizzy hights
Okay, now for some questions, where to start....Ba, Silva, Kelly....oh no too many..
Good luck..Open Controls
Welcome my man I am 33rd.....you are right on my heels!
Good luck! 🙂Open Controlsblimey.....some big hitters on here at the moment......go for it guys....let's get a FFS winner..
good luck anyone in the top 1K and the rest of courseOpen Controls
Folks,
if money does not matter (I have plenty), who would you bring in for BA (except RvP and Roon)?Open Controlsfor next week or long term?
Open ControlsI am having a similar problem.
Adebayor has favourable fixtures but isn't scoring enough. I am considering Suarez!Open Controls
Suarez might be injured
Open Controls
i am getting Adebayour in GW 31
nice fixures comming up and he takes penalty kicksOpen Controlsi had him earlier this season and he did score quite well
if somone will score that would be him
+he is capable of +10pts per gameOpen Controls
Question we're all asking.
Cisse (New) - for a straight swap
Suarez - now, if you can bring yourself to having him in your team
Ade - later
Balo
Odem
Seem to be some the favorites.
But if money no option, Tevez might be back very soon, and we all know what he is capable of. I predict a Tevezwagon before the seasons out, period.Open ControlsTevez? If he will get minutes and will be scoring, might be a goo option. I will basically take anyone who is scoring.
Open Controls-1
Open ControlsI reckon Tevez will be hot to trot within a week or two. Point to prove, others (Aguero, Dzeko, Silva) flagging
Do't like him much or agree with his attitude over past few months, but I reckon we'll all be talking 'how to free up funds for tevez' shortly.
keep your money safe for that very time....Open Controls
Is the Spurs - Stoke game under threat? Not been around much so don't really know, thanks in advance.
Open ControlsTop tweet.
Open Controls
Apparently Pulis said he's going to talk to Harry about it and if they want to postpone then Stoke have no problem with that, but I can't see that Spurs will want to postpone. I could be wrong, but I think they will play.
Open ControlsAny idea by when we will have any confirmation by? Matters a lot in my H2H.
Open Controls
Worth a 4 point hit? Have 6.9m in Bank. Pilkington to Walcott? Or risk him starting against Wolves? Already did Valencia in for Nani... Team for GW 30 is,
Vorm,
Evans, Enrique, Cahill,
Pilkington, Valencia, Morrison, Siggy,
Suarez, Rooney, RVP,
SUBS: Mingolet, Dempsey, Senderos, WilliamsonOpen Controls
Sensible thing would be not to take the hit. But maybe more fun to gamble. Walcott would have to score just to break even. He clearly does not average an assist or goal every game.
Open Controls
quick early captain poll for next week.
RVP home to AVL, Rooney home to FUL or Suarez home to Wigan ??Open Controls
pils + ba > valencia & pog (or yak) worth a 4 pt hit?
Open ControlsBa take some pils? No wonder he is out of form if he is on lips. 🙂
And yes, is worth.Open Controls
Am i crazy for thinking of doing this:
Bale>Gerrard(4pt hit) WIGAN
GW 31: Ba>Pog NORWICH bolton
GW 33 Gerrard>Bale NORWICHOpen ControlsDeadzoners I could do with a bit of assistance.
Team
Krul Bogdan
Evans, BAE, Simpson, Enrique, Kelly
Bale, Silva, Dempsey, Mosses, Drenth
RVP Rooney Suarez
I want Valencia in and not sure who to remove. I have 2FT's and £1.2m in the bank.
Thinking Suarez to Ade and Dempsey to Valencia. Then i would have fund to get Kompany back when he return and could also afford to do Krul to Hart.
Could also do Drenth to Valencia Suarez to Cisse/Ba and Enrique to Kompany. Any thoughts please?Open Controlsnot sure about the cash, but how about drenthe > valencia and suarez to someone like the yak?
Open ControlsYes i could to that! Could even do Suarez to Ba.
Open Controls
wakka, wakka, wak, wak........get rid of drenthe asap is my only advice...
Open ControlsYes i know 🙂 I am trying but he is sitting on my bench so not top priority.
Open Controls
straight swap silva>valencia. Leave suarez until next week.
Open ControlsNot a bad idea. Would then have £4m in the bank and 2Ft's next week but would have to play either Drenth or Mosses this week.
And not having Silva is a bit of a risk......Open Controls
Silva has just left my squad......sad day, he has been there from gw1. Welcome Antonio!!
Open Controlsdid that transfer 5 hrs ago
Open Controls
31pts with Hart, Walcott, McClean, Miyaichi, Skrtel and RVP to play. How has everyone else done?
Open Controls36 with RVP, Suarez, Enrique, Bale, BAE, Silva. A decent if not great week so far I think.
Open Controls
32 (- 4) 6 to play.
Open Controls
44 with bale silva suarez skrtel to go
feeling good about it (unless suarez is injured and bale gets postponed - then i have a big issue...)Open Controls
34 with Hart, BAE, Enrique, Silva, Bale, RVP (c) to go.
Just glad I used my second transfer and got Evans this week and didn't leave it till next! Really reckoned Wolves would nick one after the Europa shambles. Phew I'd have been sick to have missed out on 12 plus bonus!!Open Controls
28 with 6 to play
Siggy as 1st sub still causing major painOpen Controls
Suarez could miss Wednesday's game to bring my 1st sub in - here's hoping! Never really comfortable with Suarez in there anyway
Open Controls
What are the chances of me being able to save a transfer? Any suggestions? Quite a few things I'd like to do :/
Reina bogdan
Evans Kelly Enrique Santon Senderos
Bale Dempsey Young McClean Moses
RVP Rooney Ba
1FT 0.9 in the bank... HmmmmmOpen ControlsI did Young to Valencia this week to beat his price rises. It frees up a lot of cash and Valencia looked very good yesterday.
Open Controls
I don't fully understand those who make a transfer at this time of the day. There's all sorts of news that could develop rendering your transfer wasted.
Open Controls
Ithink early transfers are done for a couple of reasons,1 like this week both siggy and tony are going to rise 3 times,so if you wait till sat then thats 0.3 more each is going to cost you,also theres the gut instinct of pressing that confirm button,anyone whos not got got tony v in their team surely wants him ,and when hes safely on board it feels good,ive made plenty of early transfers this year and have 108.0 to spend ,that would have been much lower waiting to transfer in only on saturdays ,it enabled me to upgrade ba to saurez last week........
Open ControlsI meant at this time of the day not at this point in the week. Valencia and Siggy won't go up between now and midnight tonight - so you could wait all day to see if any news comes out on an injury that wasn't initially reported.
I'm all for getting in on bandwagons early to maximise your team value - but can you imagine the feeling transferring in Tony V at 7am only to find out at 10am that he's strained a calf and will be out for another couple of weeks.Open Controls
CHELSEA
what are peoples thoughts on chelsea coverage for
avl, WIG, ful, NEW
it seems like a no-brainer to get lamps or mata in but if u look at the fixture list it isnt as clear-cut
21 mcty
24 TOT
27 benfica
31 avl
4 BENFICA
7 WIG
9 ful
14 fa cup semi
17/18 CL semi potentially
21 ars
24/25 CL semi potentially
that is pretty tough and youd imagine the likes of kalou meireles etc will have to play a big part
so will u be getting chelsea cover or not?Open ControlsNot yet but if I do Mata is the only one I would consider!
Open Controlswould u be confident of him playing though?
wigan at home is the stand out fixture but its 3 days after benfica and 2 days before a london cderbyOpen ControlsI see your point but I really don't see him being dropped. He's been playing a couple of games a week all season and he hasn't been rested.
Open Controlshe was rested at home to stoke last week, he only played 54mins as he came on for someone who got injured
Open Controls
Nice thinking Tosey. Top of my list is Drogba atm. But your analyzes makes me to reconsidered it. Lamps is still my prime target (way above Mata) but he is too expensive for me and I like my midfield. The third striker is the one that I am looking for.
If u want to play safe than defender is the way to go.Open Controls
Feck me that's a lot of games....I might just keep ignoring but the fact I can do young>Valencia and Ba>Drogba is tempting regardless...
Open Controls
It's a bit annoying, their fixtures. Lovely home games (Wigan, Newc, QPR & Blackburn), but tricky away games (Fulham, Arsenal & Liverpool). Plus they'll have Champions League & FA Cup games too. Will probably stay clear, but I'd just absolutely love to take a punt on Torres. Again.
Open Controls
Looking at Lampard still, at least he was rested vs Leicester, the league will still be important to them..
Open ControlsI'm still getting. Regardless.
Open ControlsYeah we are in form, Chelsea players could explode, captaincy consideration and low low ownership. Now when the confidence is high, even Torres scoring brace it is wise to have Che cover. the magic of it, is to pick the right one.
I am gonna say wild punt and say RamiresOpen ControlsActually same here
Lampard and Drogba haven't played much football this season, surely they are still fresh (ish)Open Controls
With a front 8 of:
Bale Valencia Pilkington Sigurdsson Dempsey
RVP Rooney Ba
with 3.1 in the bank and 1 free transfer!
Would you:
a. Ba>>>>Suarez
b. Ba>>>>Aguero
c. Pilkington>>>>Anyone under 8.4 (slim pickins)
d. Dempsey>>>>Gerrard
e. Something else, please specify
Cheers allOpen ControlsNone of the above. Great team. Stick with it. Save the transfers. Maybe Ba to Ade in a week or two? Or upgrade the defense.
Open ControlsCheers man....na the defence is pretty tidy for the moment!
Cheers dude!Open Controls
+1 A good week to save. No clear cut Forward options out there so stick imo
Open ControlsWell, I am doing Dempsey to Lampard, fwiw. I am also trying to funnel in Cabaye to go with Sigurdsson - or even N'Zonzi ...
Open Controls
Take a hit and do Pilks to Walcott and downgrade Ba to Demba Cisse?
Open ControlsI don't fancy that bro!
Open Controls
The Rooney RVP captaincy saga could continue to go on for a few weeks. Is it a wise idea for people chasing to select the less favored captaincy pick of the two in order to have a differential?
Open ControlsHad I done this in the past two games I would have made up a lot of ground on my minileague leaders
Open ControlsI see 3 strategies there.
1. Follow your hunch,
2. Pick one and stick with him till the end,
3. Go with the poll.
Currently I think I am gonna go strategy 3 and use 1 if I am 100% convinced and can't sleep if I pick the poll winner or something.Open Controls+42. Me too.
Open ControlsI suppose I am proposing a 4th strategy. High risk high reward. So far I have mixed both 1 and 3 but unfortunately favoring 3 too much.
Open ControlsLast year I was strategy 3 all the time. Strategy 1 only 2 or 3 times. One of that was Demps captain for the double luckily 😛
But I was really convinced above Zamora.
This year due to the sheep around here and FFS going in pubic at the beginning there were some bold choices like Carrol and Torres so I abandoned that strategy.
Now this site is sheep free so I think the winner of the poll is the smart choice.Open ControlsFFS going in pubic?
😯Open ControlsThat partnership with FPL so everybody voted here and the product was Carrol and Torres.
Stilicho if u want I guess you have the data, let say for the last 15 GW's or something the winner of the poll never draw a blank, as I remember. Maybe RVP ones, but that is more than decentOpen Controls
I'm sticking with RVP c and Rooney vc. It's impossible to predict who is going to have the best week and get it right every week. Both players are as likely to have big scores away against a decent team as they are at home against a poor team! As long as you have both you can't go far wrong.
Open ControlsRVP captain every week for you? Is that what you mean?
Open Controls
alright guys, im top of my mini league by 30 points
i've got mingolet,enrique,bale and RVP to play
he has:
ekotto,vermaelen,yaya,chamberlain,bale & RVP
will he catch me up??Open ControlsYes, imo.
Open Controls
i know we’re not even half way through this GW but it’s so fragmented that it affects me attention span so how about……ooh look, a squirrel.
sorry, my mind keeps wandering. How about this line up for next week:
Mingy
JEvans, Skittle, BAE
Young, Bale, McCLean, Siggy
RvP, Rooney, PCisse
Krul, Demps, McAuley, Williamson
was thinking about Demps > Walcott for two weeks (ARS have AVL and qpr lined up).
or something else?
or am I good to go and hot to trot?Open ControlsMight get the trots with that lot ... 😉
Nah - looks good to me. 🙂Open Controls
Silva/ba-->TV/Suarez for free?
Vorm
Enrigue/Evans/Shotton
Bale/Valencia/Mclean/Walters
Rvp/Suarez/Rooney
BEnch:Krul/Demspey/Simpson/Kelly
Gw31-no trade
Gw32-Dempsey-->Lampard or Siggy and Suarez-->Drogba depending on the situation at Chelsea and the Benfica result.Open ControlsWhy not?
Open Controls
sess anyone?seems like he has been forgotten.....and could be good diffriential
Open ControlsCould be but after his first game back he has Man city and Tott? But worth a risk if your playing catch up?
Open Controls
anyone looking at myaichi now?
Blackburn home this week and will have a double week to follow aswellOpen ControlsBolton may have problems. Manager is not someone in whom I trust.
Open ControlsNo way man.....has done too little in the league for me!
Plus Bolton have hardly been prolific!Open Controls
Already nicely nestled in my team. More worried about finding a 3rd striker. The options aren't great. Might have to stick with Holt this week and hope he plays.
Open Controlswell im thinking dempsey to myachi (already done nani to valencia) leaving me the cash to do holt to adebayor the week after
Open Controls
You not tempted to wait till after the Fulham vs Norwich game?
Open Controlsyep, may just bench him this week and role 2 freebies over. just after a few opinions at the moment
sessegnon is another optionOpen ControlsMy thinking was exactly that, Miyaichi for Sess but I guess it depends on how Sess plays.
Would also like to get Walcott in so Dempsey or Mata to Walcott seems good to me, just all about when.Open Controls
I think he looks good as a cheapie and am looking a getting him in soon.
Open ControlsTempted, but not so sure the mood is so good at Bolton at the moment. The Muamba incident might motivate them?
Open Controls
I nearly replaced Dyer with him this GW. Think I will stay clear.
Open Controls
You think Blackburn game will go ahead?
I mean I know they will have to play again at some point but all depends if the news is good or bad this week.Open Controls
I went to Craven Cottage on Saturday, and Danny Murphy was benched!
Open ControlsSo the bolton avl game is definitely postponed right? I.e. Myaichi won't be getting points this week, correct?
Open ControlsWho is everyone going with for their third striker? I can't seem to make up my mind.
Open ControlsSuarez. LOL
Open ControlsNo idea. Ba probably gets another week.
Open Controlsthis week was the Last Chance saloon for PCisse and now he's delivered 6 + baps.
still not sure if he'll get a start in GW30 though.Open ControlsSuarez
Ade
Drogba
Ballo
All good options. The cheap ones suck atm. No Odem this year and Carrol for the first part of the seasonOpen Controls
Balotelli
Open Controls
Mornin' y'all!
What do you think of doing these transfers for a 4 pt hit?
De Laet -> BAE
Dempsey -> Valencia
Ba -> Balotelli
Team is linked. Other suggestions hugely appreciated...
Currently in my best position so far, at 3,210.Open Controls1 and 2 good. 3 a risk. But could pay off but i think i would just do the first two.
Open Controls
Help make me feel better about benching Siggy!
Open ControlsAt least you did not captain him as well.
Open ControlsYou don't have to trade him in like some this week. 🙂
Open ControlsI like that thought....a little better 😉
Open Controls
Unless you are linking your team, i'm afraid i can't. I dropped McClean for Siggy last minute, considering i captained Dempsey, i guess i deserved it?
Open Controls- Open Controls
You still have a lot of points to play for, if that helps 🙂 Silva hoping for at least 1 ass, BAE and Skrtl clean sheets, Bale to score and baps, and Rvp to terrorise Everton. Hold your head high kiddo
Open ControlsThnks dude.....any chance either Bale/Silva will get rested 😉
Open Controls
I really do think it was!
