Papiss Cisse and Hatem Ben Arfa offer some food for thought to digest over the Sunday roast, sparkling with goals and assists in Newcastle’s win at the Hawthorns. With tomorrow night’s clash at Old Trafford still to come, our members can now soak up some of the key numbers from the Gameweek so far and get our view on where the Fantasy Premier League bonus points could be heading…
What do you guys think to these transfer ideas?
A) Reina>Friedel
B) Reina>Cech
C) Enrique>6.2 (.1 off BAE 🙁 ) Walker?
D) Ba> 7.9
E) Save a transfer would play:
Bogdan
Evans Verm Kelly
Dempsey Bale Siggy Valencia
RVP Rooney Ba
(Reina McClean Enrique SenderosOpen Controls
I'm looking to off load Reina and/or Skrtel
Looking at Verm or Stoke, don't really fancy Spurs def. Like B) but I already have Cahill so not for meOpen Controlsyeah, I'll keep one of them for home games now, but I think I'm done playing them none stop now...you can't lose 1-2 to Wigan...that's more than embarrassing.
Could always do Enrique>Cahill I guess....hmmm. Cech gets a few more save points than Reina though and I do quite like the idea of a Spurs defender...Open ControlsSeriously FB, look at Stoke's fixtures..
Open ControlsI've thought about Crouch or Etherington, I would snap up Begovic, he'll get rotated at some point though 🙁
Open ControlsI was thinking more def, Bego or Huth. I have Scwharzer as other keeper so not the end of the world if Bego gets rotated. Don't think Pulis will rotate in the prem though. If Bego keeps his place this week he will stay no1
Open Controls
B. Its a pity you can't afford C otherwise I would do that instead
Open Controls
Hi guys, 0.6m in bank, team below, what should I do?
Vorm (Mignolet)
Skrtel, Richards, Evans (Caulker, Williamson)
Dempsey, Bale, Valencia, Siggi, Walcottt
RVP, Rooney (Ba)
A) Yak and Baines in for Ba and Skrtel
B) Cisse and Vermaelen in for Ba and Skrtel
C) Something else
cheersOpen Controls
Thoughts on my WC Team please ladies 😉
Vorm Schwarzer
Evans Baines Vermaelen Caulker Simpson
Valencia Dempsey Walcott Siggy Ryo
RVP Rooney Rodney
Bank: 0.9 to get in Bale for Dempsey
Baines and Verm to much @ the back.Open Controls
I likes it.
Open Controls
Anyone else considering Kompany if he's confirmed fit for next week?
Not sure I trust Baines, Verm or Spurs defence.Open Controls
losing skrtel or enrique?
Open Controlssame here, i was looking @ baines but i think im going to get shawx & use the the money elsewhere... just a thought
Open ControlsYeah not a bad shout, cheers. Although I'm not sure what I'd do with the extra money atm, got over 2.0 unspent as it is. Miyaichi - Walcott is a possibility.
Open Controls
I was thinking that and swapping Ba to Ade. Isn't Shawcross on the suspension tightrope though?
Open Controls
Open Controlsoops meant to put this one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq1ffbQv4xsOpen Controls
Is it worth getting Alex Song? 3.5% ownership and has 10 assists this season
Open Controls
Doos has him, is it worth the risk ❓
Also, Verm,Walcott & RVP is the best possible ARSE coverage.Open Controls
10 assists? Blimey, under the radar despite Doosra's endorsement.
MF spots too precious ATM. I want about 8!
Dempsey, Bale, Tony V, Yaya, Walcott, Siggy, HBA, McClean
Those in that pool should be ahead of Song.Open Controls
No love for Miyachi? 🙁
Open Controls
Wake up, you lazy so-and-so!!! 😉
Open Controls
What are James Morrison owners doing? I'm helping my Uncle (genuinely - managing one team is heartbreaking enough) and I'm perhaps going to suggest to him HBA to go with Tony V, Bale Dempsey and Siggy. Maybe Yaya?
Open ControlsIs that Yakubu(C) vs Swansea uncle, if yes then i'd go for Ryo IMO.
Open Controls
i was lucky enough to have 4M in bank
so i easily trasnfer him out for WalcottOpen Controls
Henry is such an incredible player.
2 goals and an assist with 30 mins left.
best captain choice in a while.Open Controls
which game are you playing, hal? espn?
Open Controlsno, i'm playing the official MLS one.
I like it because it is essentially the same interface as FPL.Open ControlsYeah, I think I looked at that but I wasn't eligible for the prizes. Not sure if you've seen this, it's like american FFS but in it's foetal stages.Helps me out though.
http://www.mlsfantasymanager.com/index.html
I'm guessing by the layout he's familiar with FFS.Open Controls
is the mls anygood? or are the european lads well better than the americans?
Open Controlsit depends which teams you watch.
New York are playing some great stuff right now, as are LA and a few other teams.
I wouldn't say the Europeans are on another level. the Americans hold their own pretty well.Open Controls
almost any team from a big european country would blow any mls club out of the water
Open ControlsYou have empirical knowledge of this? There were people when Henrik Larsson played for Celtic who used to go on and on about the fact that it was Scottish football. He then went on to play for Barca and Man Utd. Ask their fans what they thought of him.
It's too easy to slag them off when no one knows how "any team from a big european country" would do against any MLS club.
Ask the England team how good the US team are.Open Controls
must start watching it sometime, no doubt the best coverage over here would be of la/ny. planning honeymoon on the west coast of america for next year, might get a game in
Open Controls
Vorm – Krul
Skrtel – Evans – Caulker – Vermaelen – *Senderos*
Bale – *Moses* – Valencia – Siggy – Dempsey
*Ba* – RVP – Rooney
I have 1 FT and 1.4m in the bank.
The players with asteriks are the ones I want rid of.
Any suggestions?Open Controls
can anyone pick a player from the bottom 5 who you think "might" rescue their team from relegation, and be unlikely fantasy gold into the bargain?
Open Controls
are blackburn in the bottom 5 ❓ feed the yak 😛
Open Controls
I had klasnic down for that but he is not getting starts.
Open ControlsWhat about Ryo Miyachi? Seems to be on a lot of set pieces when Petrov isn't on the field. Could give good fantasy returns in the coming weeks... Cheap alternative and possible differential
Open ControlsThe icing on the cake of course 🙂 I plan on keeping that low-down as an advantage to my ML 😉
Open Controls
U could take a big risk with Morten Gamst Pedersen.... our football aint great at the moment and we are relying on set pieces so if u want a 5th midfielder he could be a differential!
Open Controls
What do you guys think, are these good transfers. Team is linked
1FT 2.8m in the bank.
Ba > Ade
Surman > B Arfa
4pt hit
Or should I just do the first one for no hit? or save a transferOpen Controls
All that building money , and do we actually need it !
Ben arfa , Ryo , McLean , SiggyOpen ControlsYou'll find that people are using the money on expensive defenders. Cant rely on the cheapie defenders now at this stage of season. Utd, Arsenal, Pool, City, Spurs and Baines.
Open Controlsyeah, i think this year, it's been way less important to build value in your team. there are very few "must-haves" for the season, especially expensive "must-haves"
Open Controls
Can't rely on defence. Very little defensive points this week.
Open Controls
hey my team is...
vorm, lindegaard
cahill, simpson, clichy, enrique, evans
bale, gerrard, moses, miyaichi, o'hara
rvp, suarez, rooney
have .6m in bank.... and 1 free transfer
was thinking maybe.........
bale -----> walters
suarez -------> adebayor
enrique ------> baines (8 point hit)
or
gerrard ------> walters
enrique -------> baines (4 point hit)
which ye think or do ye see something else i should possiblly do?Open Controls
why Walters...he's done nothing these past few months
Open Controls
Blackpool's defence is the only thing that is the same from last season (Gary TF too) and it's getting ripped apart in the Championship and in the media too.
Open ControlsI would love Blackpool and Holloway back in the Prem. His press conferences were top class. "If you buy a house, its yours. It cant get up and walk away." Cant remember the quote but great stuff.
Open Controls
Enrique, Young, Ba OUT
Baines, Walcott, Hernandez IN
4pt hi, and I have Rooney already.
Good idea?Open ControlsWell, there is that. But I was thinking this before.. and still feeling a bruised by my loyalty to Ba (pts wise anyway)
Open Controls
Pog -> Cisse worth doing this week? Fixtures are Pog (NOR H) and Cisse (LIV H).
Already have Dempsey coverage.Open Controlsno not this week imo save the ft if thats your only concern
Open Controls
For one week only i'll have the fab five,
Walcott • Tony V • Dempsey • Bale • Siggy
But Dempsey won't be with us next week(Getting rid for Ryo)Open ControlsWhy is my grav not showing up? It's too good not to be seen.
Open Controls*best Swedish accent*
Weeelll ... not a lot of light shed here, so far.Open Controls
what are you waiting for?
I find going to the toilet helps
Turning on the lights also helps 😛Open Controls
Any feedback on my team would be apprecaited, gents. I have 1.4 in the bank.
Sczcenzy (Bogdan),
Kompany, Evans, Enrique, Cahill, (Kelly),
Valencia, Song, Silva, (McClean, Sigurdsson),
RVP, Rooney, AgueroOpen Controls
Keep an eye on the Aguero situation, might require a transfer if he's out for a considerable period of time. The other player to look at is Silva - he really is looking burnt out. Other than that you appear to have a very nice setup to last the rest of the season.
Open Controlsagree with bad pen on silva
Open Controls
getting mcclean off the bench this week... nice! team looks good, i was shocked @ the stat above about song's 10 assists this year! save the ft
Open Controls
I'm half expecting to be watching some random BBC programme tomorrow evening and have it suddenly cut to a replay o that Crouch goal.
Open Controls
halnone, which position are you in in our MLS league? I haven't checked my squad since GW 1 and I'm somehow in 3rd....
Open Controlscan people help me... struggling in mini league and need to take a big punt on a proper risky captn this week... who???
Open Controlsmaybe someone like van der vaart, or adebayor. home to swansea.
Open Controls
taiwo>cahill, done..team for next week, right or wrong lineup!?!?!
krul
cahill evans shotton (2.williamson, 3.caulker)
valencia bale siggy dempsey walcott
rvp(c) roonpig (1.suarez)Open Controlsok folks Verm is coming in this week but who goes?
Skrtel - Pool defence is crap right now
Santon - May start now, but with Colo injured not sure about Newcastle defence
Taiwo - awful fixtures but will play and could get attacking points
I also own Caulker so one of the other 2 will have to play this week,Open ControlsCrikey. 🙁
Open ControlsTaiwo IMO
Open ControlsHas to be Taiwo.
If you still belive in Taiwo then go for Santon.
I think there be very few cheap CS till the end of season. Swansea maybe but the rest will go to top 6 teams.Open Controlsalso just thought, maybe Santon still sits and Raylor goes lb.
Open ControlsI feel once Agger is back, Pool will be much more solid at the back. They seem to lose their way against the smaller teams randomly, a bit like the Arsenal of recent seasons. He also has the much talked about goal threat, which would have come to fruition had Suarez not been a tit this week.
For me it'd be between Santon and Taiwo... and I fancy Newcastle's chances of CS much more than QPR, even potentially without Colo. Got to remember that Santon, when played, does put crosses in so he does have some form of attacking threat. It's a tough decision though, both have pros and cons.Open ControlsI think Liverpool are fecked.
Open ControlsNah I agree with Bad Pen. Once Agger and either GJ or Kelly are back, defence will solidify again. Maybe I'm just blindly clutching at straws here... time will tell 🙁
Open Controls
thanks, still would you play Skrtel or Santon this week then?
Open Controls
what was the script with kun this weekend. wasnt in the squad but was he injured? i thinking about gettin him this weekend. surely if it was just rotation by mancini then he would at least be on the bench
Open ControlsMan City tweeted it was an injury. Nothing serious from what I gathered,probably just a niggle.
Open Controlsthanks this is my team you think it will be too top heavy am 25 points behind so takin a little risk
krull ruddy
williams mcauley evans shotton raylor
bale demps mclean sig valenicia
rvp rooney suarez
n got 2.6 mill in bank/ is swap suarez to kun can free 1 mill to upgarde elsewhere.
av caught up 150 point in my league n 57k overall which am pretty happy with after a crap startOpen Controls
He suffered a foot injury in training on Fri..
Open Controls
Anyone watch MOTD? Poor show I thought for a number of reasons
• over played that goal by about 10 times
• didn't talk to Shay GIven much atall
• Colin Murray is overall a poor presenter.Open Controls
Colin Murray is a great presenter.
Open Controlscolin murray is awful. I prefer Adrian Chiles. I dont know what it is about the BBC but they hire some right dullards..
Open Controlsthey have to regionalise their presenters....so sometimes the better ones get overlooked
Open Controlsgood point. There must be a female scottish presenter out there with more personality than Edith Bowman though...
Open Controls
Colin Muarry is a nice bloke, i can say that as ive met him. Radio 1 were presenting in my local pub in Reading once. Its just his voice and him in general i find quite annoying. There are better presenters out there, thats all im saying..
Open Controls
Fair enough.
I think he's better on the radio than TV. Which is a good job, since he's hardly ever away from 5 Live. He just seems very sincere to me, something which seems to be lacking with a lot of preseenters nowadays, and he seems genuinely interested / knowledgable of lots of different things.Open Controls
Hi guys, 0.6m in bank, team below, what should I do?
Vorm (Mignolet)
Skrtel, Richards, Evans (Caulker, Williamson)
Dempsey, Bale, Valencia, Siggi, Walcottt
RVP, Rooney (Ba)
A) Yak and Baines in for Ba and Skrtel
B) Cisse and Vermaelen in for Ba and Skrtel
C) Something else
cheers!!Open Controlsi'd go b i think, but not for a hit unless needed
Open Controlscheers
Open Controls
Verm for Skrtel is a good move imo. I'd wait on Cisse unless you'd start him over Siggy? Always useful to have 2 FTs.
Open Controlsthanks, yeah i think I will wait on Cisse.
Open Controls
B looks good to me. Im not sure about Arsenal's potential to keep clean sheets though
Open ControlsThanks
