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…
Would anybody use there wildcard in order to get better players or replace injured or benches players in the first GW?
Open ControlsMe to.

Still can't believe no baps for Cazorla on Sat! Did anyone watch that game? Played everyone off the park, including McLean. Feckin scandal. Consoled by having a good long term FPL pick once Giroud and Podolski find their range.
Open ControlsI still have not gotten any single attacking points this GW. Beat that.
Open Controlswow! that's incredible. what points you on? I'm a measly 37 so don't worry!
Open Controls
Looks like NOT having Michu is a massive differential for game week 2 eh?
Open ControlsAny news on Aguero ?
Would you :
A- Torres > Rvp as planned
B- Aguero> Tevez
C- both for a hit ?
ThanksOpen ControlsAguero just tweeted he's alright. Wait for an update. A looks good though.
Open ControlsI wouldn't even think about A till after the midweek games.
B probably unless the injury is a big over reactionOpen Controls
Best 5m defender?
Open ControlsRidgewell
Open Controls
Okay, who else is doing Mata-Michu? It just feels wrong having 5.0m in the bank and Bale as my only mid above 6.5m.
Open ControlsIs Cuellar nailed on?
Open ControlsYes he is with the injuries to Bardsley and Brown.
Open Controls
Cazorla vs Podolski comparison (BUT YOU'RE A FORWARD SON!)
Cazorla vs Michu. *cough*Next week's bandwagon.*cough*Open ControlsGiroud will the be the man this season
Open ControlsI had flicked over to the QPR/Swans game by then, how did Giroud do when he came on?
Open ControlsGiroud didnt do particularly brilliantly, but Carzorla changed notably. Carzorla started feeding the ball to Giroud (or just past Giroud) in shooting positions. Giroud just has a natural centre forward feel
Open Controls
That run he made for the chance he missed was brilliant. Great movement.
Open Controls
Cazorla the new Fab. Discuss.
Open ControlsNo, but only based on one game. A better passer but you won't see him scoring many in the box like Fabregas. And won't get Fabregas's number of assists as there's no-one, bar Podolski possibly, to bury his assists. Giroud looks poor, but based only on Sunderland game.

@Mark
Did you see this guy this morning? He had ChinaMag's grav at the time.

It was part of a string of trollingOpen ControlsRight, it's the time of the season where the elite use their wildcard/or take hits. If you don't have Michu or Petric you need them. If you have Aguero, get Tevez. Do what you need to do.
Open ControlsPetric can wait. Utd next. I don't understand folks who haven't knee-jerked Michu though. They've convinced themselves that all GW1 bandwagons are badwagons.
Open ControlsBazinga? 🙂
Open ControlsAre you and !Bazinga! the same person or different?
Open ControlsWatch the big bang theory. You obviously dont know who Sheldon is.
Open Controls
Anyone else sending a "get well slowly" card to Ramires in the hope that their Swansea midfielder comes off the bencn?
Open ControlsNo, my opponent has Rangel ready to come on and I'm only 11 points ahead.
Open ControlsYES! I have Dyer of Swansea. Going to be a long 2 days
Open ControlsNo, he's gunna come off the bench for a 1 pointer...
Open Controls
Yeah I used my wildcard to save making hits
Open ControlsNight guys, looking forward to the United game tomorrow as I don't own a player from either team 🙂 will drastically effect the rank though 😕 😛
Open ControlsNight man, I only have Rafael, and Pienaar on the bench. I'm dreading it.
Open ControlsKaca and Cuellar here :/ couldbe in the 100s already 😕
Open Controls
Thanks. And just as a note. I'm aware I went on a bit today about the score. I will defo tone it down. Its just I'll prob never get another good score like this ever again ha (as my history suggests) Good luck to all tomorrow!
Open Controls
Well folks, after a weekend when I was hugely disappointed with my picks, I think I have come to terms with the simple fact that sh*t happens and I just need to work out which sh*t is good and which sh*t is bad. Ta-da! Good night all!
Open ControlsRepost - Thanks for your reply Parm
What would you do?
I have 4 mil in the bank.
I have Guthrie, Lampard, Sandro, Kagawa and Nasri in Mid. I have Tevez, Torres and Pog up front.
I want to get Rooney/RVP and Michu.
If I swap Guthrie/Sandro and Torres out, I can only get Michu and Rooney.
If I swap Lampard/Kag/Nasri out, I can get Michu and anyone, also can upgrade a Midfielder next week to anyone between 8 and 8.5.
Considering that Chelsea miss the gw3 fixture I am thinking Lampard and Torres.Open ControlsWC Time.
Open Controls
Is Rooney still a good option for his price with RVP playing?
Open ControlsWatch the game tomorrow and then think about it
Open Controls
Rio has a groin strain. Carrick will play CB v Everton, but Rio is expected to be fit for Fulham. No idea if this has been reported on here, been out of the loop for a couple of hours
Open ControlsIt was out for a month earlier
Open Controlsyou benched Rafa didn't you?
Open Controls
I read rio was out for upto 4 weeks. Guess this is what I get for reading Twitter and believing
Open Controls
The irony of your comment, now that you've posted it twice 🙂
Open ControlsUse ur wildcard I did
Open Controlsthen you are an idiot
Open ControlsGood statistical analysis. You contribute loads. Thanx.
Open ControlsHe's still going.
Open Controls
A wildcard is like a virginity. Dont throw it away to some cheap skank like Michu when you could wait for the real deal: RVP.
Open Controls
Pogrebnyak to Adebayor. Simples. What can possibly go wrong??? 😀
Open ControlsWhat can right...EVERYTHING ! 😀 I'm definitely with you on that Ade transfer Doos. Under AVB's play I think he will be the focus of every cross, pass, etc.
Open Controls
I'm new to the official Fantasy league. Can someone explain how the price changes work. I read somewhere a price goes up for everytime 1% of the total users transfer a player in. Will Michus price go straight up to £6.7 mill?
Open Controlsmassively doubt it but i hope so xD
Open ControlsI have no idea what your talking about but this might help: http://development.totalfpl.com/pricechanges
Open ControlsPrices increase in .1 increments. When Michu rises, he will be 6.6. In the event that he gets enough transfers tomorrow to warrant another rise, he will move to 6.7.
I believe the cap is a .3 rise for a given GW but I'm not 100% on it.Open ControlsThank you. Nice to get a helpful answer as opposed to The Palmtree trying to be a smart ass as per usual.
Open Controls
Each player has a certain number of transfers in required before they will go up 0.1 in price. If this target is reached in a game week then double that amount is required again in that same game week to raise them another 0.1. If this is met again then double the previous double for another price rise of 0.1

Night folks I'm off to fret over thoughts of feta. And whether or not to make a last ditch grab for Michu.
Have a good week and don't do anything silly now! 🙂Open ControlsLayout has gone crazy. Scout picks is now at the bottom of the page for me...
Open Controlshad that yesterday. Close/open your browser
Open ControlsEh? Can you send a screenie to me with your browser details (type and version). Not had any other reports - support@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk
Open ControlsMust be having problems eh?
Tried turning it off and back on again? 😉Open Controls
Cheers using a wildcard is good u see
Open ControlsSee the green reply button? Use it.
*awaits jokes about how Alt+F4 would be better*Open Controlsdidn't have to wait long 😆
Sorry mate, I need Kagawa to play, rival has Dyer first sub with Kagawa and Rooney to play. Blame AVB and his VdV cameo, or blame QPR for being shite, your call.Open Controls😀
I can cling to hope for another 18 and a half hours.
Or blame myself for getting and playing someone I knew would be a 2 point king just because he had a DGW. Almost got and benched Puncheon. Almost got Kaca and played him over Michu which wouldn't have been as bad. Instead I got bloody Guthrie and played him.Open Controls
Could someone link me the totalfpl price rise site?
Open ControlsCertainly: http://development.totalfpl.com/pricechanges
Open Controls
Why no Dawson today for spurs. get rid or will he play next.
Open Controlshe's fourth choice at best.
Open Controls
Got song in and aguero. Thinking replacing aguero is higher priority atm cos my midfield is ok for next week. Is Song likely to lose any value soon? Also thoughts on Defoe as agueros replacement? seems ade will be on his way back but defoe surely cant be dropped!? got 1 mil in bank so rooneys another option.
