Sunday’s action brings an end to our first weekend of the season – a breathless 3-2 victory for Man City providing a fitting conclusion. Here’s our regular Members article, picking out some of the key stats from the weekend’s games…
Some advice would be appreciated please.
Current midfield: Mata Bale Dyer Larsson Cazorla.
I have 3 chelsea players I need to get rid of b4 GW3 - Torres, Mata, Ivan. Also have Dyer but would like to get Michu in. Was thinking Mata to Michu, but is 2 cheap Swans mids too much. I will swap Dyer out later.Open Controls
You don't need to get rid of all three before GW4. You can put them on the bench.
Open ControlsBut I doubt they are gonna have another 5-0 riot
Open Controls
Favorable fixtures aside, 2 Swansea attacking players is a bit much for my taste.
Also, you don't "need" to get all 3 Chelsea players out by GW3. They have extremely favorable fixtures. If they don't sign a RB, Ivanovic is a very viable asset.Open Controls
How about a City midfielder for Mata? Despite having Dyer already, doubling up with Michu isn't a bad shout to be honest.
Also, why not keep Ivanovic on the bench for GW3 rather than selling him? I don't think it's worth a point hit for a defender, especially when I presume that you'll have 4 other defenders to choose from.Open Controls
Degea (fedrici)
Cole • lescott • Hughes (demel) (clyne)
mata • bale • valencia • guthrie (dyer)
aguero • tevez • graham
Thoughts on that mess?
Mata > Michu?
Best replacement for Aguero?Open Controls
Aaaargh have just seen that my captain, Aguero, was injured in the first few minutes of the first game of the season! I can only wonder of the points he could have got me, should he have stayed on the pitch!!
Open Controls
if this article was released after FPL updated the bps why is it members only?
Open Controls
Adam Johnson looking likely to move, with Sunderland favourites to sign him.
Would he tempt anyone at 7.0?Open Controls
yup
Open Controls
Bit too much for a Sunderland player from the off. I'd at least have to see some promise from him in the team.
Open Controls
Where will he play though? Don't see McClean getting benched...Or at least I should hope not
Open Controls
no chance mclean is o'neills fav
Open Controls
Crappy start (again).........
would anyone of you get rid of
a) BALE
b) YA YA
c) MATA
or
d) CAZORLA
to get Michu in??????
or shall I just stick with what I have got????Open ControlsE) Wait and see when the GW is over. They all look good already
Open Controlsthank you chaps..........I will stick........don't like Swansea anyway!
Open Controls
defo stick sounds like an awesome midfield already
Open Controls
I had Bale, Mata. YaYa and Kagawa but just done Mata => Michu and freed up 3mil
Open Controls
On the whole, the advice Re: Agüero seems to be: relax, wait for more news. Jesus
Open Controls
No point waiting for Jesus... he's stoned tonight.
Open ControlsHe'll be the very player to get a hatrick on his return after everyone panics and knee-jerks him away.
Open Controls
Torres to Aguero now?
I wish there was an obvious replacement for Torres, apart from Petric who I have doubts aboutOpen ControlsI don't plan on getting him as I have max City players (Tev strikeforce) but if he thinks he'll be fit for the game after Pool then it'd be worth the swap for Nando. Torres could do well against Newcastle
Open ControlsWatch spurs this week and maybe something will jump out at you
Open ControlsIf Defoe stays as the main man then he is a bargain, but one cant be sure of that.
Open Controls
Sort of finalised my team very last minute but still 46, with 5 to play isn’t bad.
Already done Lampard to Michu to avoid his price rise so that leave 2.5m in the bank. Leaves me with this squad:
Friedel Fed
Lescott A.Cole Clyne Hangeland Demel
Noble Yaya Kagawa Michu Taarbt
Bent Tevez Torres
2.5m in the bank.
Already done one transfer is it worth taking a 4 point hit for next week or just leave it as it is?Open Controls
Enough for the day..... Your thinking too much. You got a decent team out there
Open Controls
You're fine. You'll get over 50 points, which is a good benchmark to be aiming for each week. FPL is a marathon, not a sprint. Everyone transferring in Michu could look very stupid next week.
Open Controls
This Kaka talk is getting more and more intense. Daily Mail online now reporting that the loan has been offered by Real. All of this from a Twitter rumour? Bit mad!
Open Controls
I'm sure all FPL managers will be demanding some form of compensation?
Open Controls
Taarabt is on a final warning. He needs a big performance at Carrow Road to convince me to keep him.
Open ControlsGreen is being rolled out against the Canaries, if it all goes pear shaped again then Foster can have the first team jersey for the conceivable future.
Open Controls
Got no one playing tomorrow. Need a 1-1 with two own-goals and shedloads of cards.
Open Controls
What was with Vertonghen not playing? AVB doing the same cr@p he did to Cahill.
Open ControlsDoesn't help himself does he
Open Controls
amazed how fast the leagues and baps were updated this year, much improved!!
Open Controls
All the cool kids still going torres to Rooney / RVP?
Open Controls
I was out during the games today so I have a couple of questions if anyone would be so kind..
-Did Chelsea look good today?
-Where was Miyaichi?
-Did city look vulnerable at the back or did Southampton look impressive when going forward?Open ControlsGoing forward decent, defence bad
maloney is your man
southampton overachievedOpen ControlsB) Miyachi was never likely to play as long as Moses is at Wigan.
C) City were pushing very high and had possesion of 80%, but it told with two very fast counter attacks, they were caught out big time.Open Controls
A) After the first 7 minutes, Wigan out played them
B) Moses is better I guess
C) A little. Southampton are actually a good sideOpen Controls
Any McClean owners here? He is another one on side with the bps gods. Definitely one to consider.
Open Controls
I own McClean but he was first off my bench this week - 6 points. Played Taarabt at home [2] instead. Oh well. I plan on rotating those as my 4th midfielder throughout the season.
Open Controls
Yep. ATM I have Pienaar and Michu ahead of him. Wondering whether I should have got Mc over Pie and then get Jelly.
Still, not worth losing a WC over.
All we had at this point last year was Bolton and their 4-0 win at QPR but shoddy following fixtures.Open Controls
Should i do Guthrie to Michu now? this will leave me with .5 to get rooney for aguero and tevez for torres the week after.
Open Controls
Not sure. Fiso has whacked up figured up saying 170k need to transfer the player in for the first week to initiate a price rise. I sorta remember this from last year too, Can't remember if it's true or not tho. They have Song and Modric falling tonight
Open ControlsJust Michu
Open Controls
How did Graham play? Five goals and no goal or assist surprised me
Open ControlsEverton vs United predictions?
Everton 1-3 United (Jelavic; Rooney x2, RVP)Open Controls1-0 Hibbert
Open Controls
From the start and cemented till GW22
Open Controls
Lampard --> Michu
That obviously would mean a hit for Rooney/RVP - I won't be too concerned about waiting 1 more week. I'll be keeping an eye out for Aguero news too...
Should I do the Michu transfer? Already got GrahamOpen Controls
I have, for Mata. Slightly impetuous but just correcting a mistake with my final selection. I had been worried about his lack of experience...
Open Controls
Finally going to get some luck from the bench with Ridgewell coming in for Vertonghen 🙂 .Never happened last year.
Still think these points should be halved though.Open Controls
not happy with the non existent performance from mata!
Open ControlsThought he picked the ball up really deep for him. Quick check on the comparison tool and yes he did. Deeper than at anytime playing away from home last year
Open Controls
I would like pienaar to score a hattrick tomorrow
Open Controls
Fingers on the Willard already can't help myself!
