With the Gameweek completed by a classic Anfield tussle, it’s time for our members to scan some of the key statistics from the weekend matches to help identify the form and trends that could help shape future Fantasy selections…
What to do What to do...
I'm playing my WC now before anymore price rises and also because the transfer window is closing leaving me able to chop and change my team.
Right now my teams
Friedel Green
Rafael Williams Kaboul Reither Nelson
Allen Yaya Kagawa Hazard Michu
Tevez Defoe Suarez
Defoe I'm not sure on, if he's going to start week in week out with Ade i'll keep him if not I'll put Petric in, info on this will help me out alot.
Right now I'm looking at taking out Reither > Hangeland pointless i know just for scoring threat. Nelson >Coloccini or STaylor, Green > to some reserve thats 4 no point having a reserve when there aint any good ones. Then Allen > Dyer because he's going to drop.
If Defoe aint starting I'm going to put Petric in and add the rest to Allen so i can get Johnson
Tell me what you guys think
Oh and one more thing I'm not sure if I should change Friedel to Vorm or Krul and aswell as Kaboul to someone.Open Controls
When is your second book due out?
Open Controls
Has Saylor looked like an attacking threat first 2 games?
Open Controls- Open Controls
I thought Silva was poor second half of last season...
Open Controls
Last chance for Bale and Zabaleta this week.
If Bale can't get at least an assist or a goal against Norwich at home, he's out for HAZARD.
Same goes for Zabaleta. Surely City should be able to keep a cleanie against QPR at home. Otherwise 0 out of 3 cleansheets will see him out of my team for BAINES.Open Controls
I think Zabaleta is worth holding on to. city will get clean sheets soon, and he's not about to get dropped. after yesterday's tactical disaster I think Mancini will revert to normal, and against Southampton Zabaleta got forward a lot.
Bale on the other hand... he's too inconsistent and Spurs have showed zero form.Open Controls
Team for next week...
DDG
Clichy---Demel---Cuellar
Ireland---Hoillet---Siggy---Noble
Tevez---RVP---Graham
(Cole, Mata, Fonte)
1 FT....any suggestions?
Thinking about getting rid of one of the chelsea boys for newcastle/swansea (HBA?Rangel/Chico/Williams?) or even another Spurs player (getting rid of Siggy next week).Open Controls
Does anyone know why Taarabt was dropped at the weekend?
Argument ?
Ramadan ?
To deliberately punish me for trusting him again ?Open Controls
4-4-2 played. Hard to play him on RW away from home in that system as he doesn't defend well enough and having Fabio behind him at RB would have been a recipe for disaster.
Open ControlsHmmm true. I thought he was your best attacking threat v Swans.
Open Controls
C, imo. 😛
In all seriousness, once they fielded an extra striker an attacking mid had to be dropped. Park is the captain, Hoilett and Mackie are needed on the wings - so, it had to be Taarabt.
and Ramadan ended on Sept 18th.Open Controlshaha 🙂
Yeah that makes sense.
I really should have done my research on Ramadan instead of blindly postingOpen Controls
Morning ladies.
Thoughts on City - QPR? Kompany and City for a clean sheet? Looking to trade Kompany and Torres for Baines + RVP for a hit. Sounds like a good plan?Open Controls
I would feel better if that hit came for ivan out along with Torres.
Open ControlsThat's my problem. I want to get rid of Ivan because of the blank, but QPR, Stoke and Norwich in the coming 4 games...
Open ControlsI just cant see the point in getting rid of Komp before the QPR game. I understand that going without united cover is a problem. But this move is one you might regret. I would much rather take out Verm. I think you have 1 too many Arsenal player. But you have the better rank so I might be wrong. You could just get Kagawa for someone.
Open ControlsVermaelen has 16 pts in two rounds, without even an assist or a goal. Tough fixtures coming up, but I think I'll stick with him. Cazorla -> Kagawa maybe?
Open ControlsI think that one is a good move, or yaya out if you can afford it. That is not an easy call. But I think that Kagawa could be good enough United cover, I know many disagree with me but I cant see RVP justifying 13 mil.
Open ControlsCheers mate. Agree with you that 13 mil. for RVP is massive, though I hate the thought of Rooney might be out for as much as eight weeks, and RVP is on pens, free kicks, and probably will start every game. But again, Kagawa for the assists, then it's ok 🙂
Open Controls
Not a good idea... Kompany is still a goal threat and Torres and Hazard have struck up a good partnership and look dangerous...
I would have Kompany, Torres, Hazard and RVP all in the same team...Open ControlsKompany, Hazard, Torres + RVP = 50 % of the budget. Gotta think about the cash bro. Tevez and Petric my two other strikers, looking at RVP as my only ManUtd cover, but if he's in, that means some seriously cutting in the budget.
Open Controls
sorry lost on last page
hey guys,
no frees transfers left. No Man City attacking coverage. Had aguero but transfered to RVP last GW. What to do? Need to Hazard in next week as well. I think my team is okay. Hopefully Adebayor has a big one this weekend. Other problem is Hughes and McCartney which I am willing to live with as hopefully one of them gets a clean sheet at least.
DDG
McCartney Zabaleta Hughes
Cazorla Michu Maloney HBA
RVP Adebayor Graham
Trades I planned last night:
GW4: Either Cazorla or HBA to Hazard
GW5: DDG to Vorm (to fund transfer in GW6) OR just get tevez in.
GW6: A. Cole to Baines
what to do? decisionOpen Controls
Ade --> Tevez
Open Controlsthanks cocky. i was thinking of that one. See how ade goes this week. But this leaves me with no spuds coverage
Open ControlsI understand your concern but coverage or not, you'd expect Tevez to outscore Ade. Tottenham hasn't been playing too good and it has been safe to ignore them this far. It's a risk either way, to have coverage or to not have. Gut feeling has to be used.
Open Controls
In an ideal world I would say def get hazard and Tevez in. Baines not quite so important.
Open Controlsokay thanks hayemaker. Will definitely be looking at getting tevez. I will give ade two more weeks and then transfer him to tevez (should be a straight swap with tevez continuing to rise and ade seemingly doing the same). Form spuds mid should be more transparent then as well
Open Controls
Im worried little bit for Fellaini, Moyes said that he will also play deeper role 0_o
Open ControlsPienaar it is
Open Controls
He obviously will - more often than not.
Open ControlsFelliani is like the Yaya Toure of Everton.
Open ControlsI think it will be the other way around.
The big Fella(ini) will be FPL gold because Moyes now has enough versatile midfielders that he can afford to play him up front more oftenOpen ControlsHmm. If Fellaini plays behind Jelavic, that would mean only one spot for Naismith/Mirallas/Osman.
Open ControlsOsman will be rotated. He's not close to an every game starter
Naismith's minutes will be carefully watched by Moyes as coming back from major injury.
From watching Belgium v England I'd suggest Mirallis is more of a wide player than he is a striker
The big Fella(ini) is about to go on a rampage 🙂Open Controls
Is this an upgrade?
Ivan, Zab OUT
Baines, Rafael INOpen Controls
Really struggling with my wild card team, like the idea of Newcastle coverage but worried about no spurs coverage. What do people think of these options
A. Bale, clyne, hughes
B. siggy or vdv, Rangel, hughes
C. HBA, walker, hughes
Team has man u cover in Rvp, but no spurs or newcastle cover.
Rest of defense is cuellar, s. Taylor, Hughes, demel.Open Controls
I’m wildcarding. I’m in the top 37 000 rank so far, but when I look at my team there are 5 players I’m not expecting to perform.
This is my team after WC:
Vorm (Cerny)
Rangel | Baines | Hughes (Ivano, Demel)
Michu | Pienaar | Yaya | Kacanklic (Hazard)
RVP | Tevez | Petric
0.0 in the bank.
Thoughts?
Considering Rafael and Valencia/KagawaOpen ControlsTripling up on Swans might be a mistake.
Open ControlsIf there were two Swans in the front 7 I'd agree but despite the reservations of many on this board Swansea look as good if not better at the back than last year!
Open Controls
No Spurs? I fancy some offensive cover from Newc as well.
Open ControlsYaya>HBA
Open Controls
The Swans have been fantastic, and their fixtrures are mouth watering. I'm thinking they can't go on scoring like they do so doubling up in attack is a bit risky IMO. Michu should be enough.
Spurs. Bale and Ade will start firing soon, but I've learned not to wait, and pick form players. I'll be the first one to bandwagon Bale, and maybe Ade.
Ben Arfra instead of Yaya.... Yaya is in outanding form right now, but yes, Ben is a very interesting prospect... hmmm...Open Controls
please help me with my WC team:
Schwarzer Begovic
Baines/Jags Figueroa/Gallas/Rafael Rangel McCartney/Demel Cuellar
Hazard Michu Pienaar/Fellaini Nasri/Kagawa/Toure Guthrie/Kacaniklic
Tevez RVP Graham/Petric
depends on choices i will have at least 0.6 left in the bank
are my keepers ok for rotation?
please choose the ones i have / withOpen ControlsBaines, Rafael, Pienaar, Toure, Graham
Open Controls
So, I need to swap Rooney for someone but I can't afford van Persie.
I'm thinking of just bringing in and putting faith in Torres but seems pointless for GW3, so I'm torn between Jelavic, Defoe, Adebayor and Petric atm!
Need some advice!Open ControlsJelly/Ade/Petric all good shouts. I would look at Ba/Cisse as well.
Open Controls
Adebayor or Jelly, You've got a very good team there for this coming gameweek.
Open ControlsYeah I'm leaning towards Ade, Everton away and Tottenham (i'd like to think) should tear Norwich up at home!
Open Controls
I took a hit to downgrade one of my other players to bring RVP in for Rooney if that's any help...
Open ControlsGot no other players I want to downgrade tho tbh! I'm not convinced by van Persie enough yet either!
Think I'll go with Ade!Open Controls
Have Mata and Cashley, gonna transfer one out for next GW...
1 FT
A) Mata---->HBA
B) Mata-----> Bale
C) Mata---> Kagawa
D) Cashley----> Chico/Williams/Rangel
E) Cashley-----> S. Taylor
Suggestions?Open Controls
bugger, i just wildcarded. i couldnt help it. it was like Dougal on the plane with the red flashing 'do not press' sign above it.
Open ControlsWow, the cream rises to the top and all that jazz.
Mark storming up the FPL rankings.Jenkinson has been fantasy gold for him so far.Open ControlsCheck out Akers' score this Gw!
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/901627/event-history/2/Open ControlsJenkinson was one of the last names on my team sheet prior to gw1.. and he's been the most satisfying so far.
Open Controls
Lot's of players have started with a bang this season. I want them all! Thinking Sterling could be a genuine 4.5m midfield option. I'll take the odd game sat on the bench for that price.
If he starts next week and does well again I think I will bring him in.Open ControlsI cant believe that fpl players right now using WC. It should be taken on saturday before price rises...
Open Controls
yep, I will be wildcarding at final whistle on Sat before Intl break. It's become a tradition.
Open ControlsGood luck in affording everyone.
Open Controls
About the only thing I've done right so far was WC'ing during Saturday.
My team went up £900k in value the last two nights 🙂Open Controls
I activated my Wildcard on Sunday (didn't know what it was)... now i do
My new team is:
Howard, (Begovic)
Baines, Rangel, Rafael (Gallas, Demel)
Piennar, Michu, Hazard, Toure (kacasomething)
Graham, Van Persie, Tevez
i like Everton this year for CS and have a soft draw, will go howard to sczerny GW7-8.
I can rotate between, Rangel, Rafael, Gallas.
I feel RVP is going to better then last year.
Thoughts??Open ControlsI play a different type of fantasy which doesn't have it, in hindsight i probs should have asked you guys or read the rules... oh well team was going bad anyway
Open ControlsIn my first fpl season I thought wildcard got you only 1 more free transfer =D
Open ControlsI once rolled a trade and then played WC. I was under impression I would not lose the free trade and would have 2 trades the week after the WC.
I received an email back from FPL towers confirming that my thinking was correct.
Only to receive another email a day later.
I was devastated.Open Controls
me too. i bought jimmy bullard
Open Controls
Got away with Gerrard (c) =D
Open Controls
an eclectic mix of budget defensive diamonds, musing midfielders and firepower forwards
Al-Habsi, Begs
Rangel, Hughes, Jenkinson, McCartney, Rafa
Pienaar, Hazard, Kaca, Michu, Johnson
Tevez, Ade, RvP
thoughts?Open ControlsWC team?
Midfield looks a little light to me.Open ControlsPersonally think you could downgrade one or both of RVP and Ade to upgrade your midfield. Graham is looking decent, spurs aren't firing. Torres is looking much better value than RVP imo.
Open Controlsal-habsi...makes me think of The Love Guru flying past on a magic carpet.
Open ControlsAde > Graham
Pienaar > HBA
?Open Controls
Pienaar all day long
Open Controls
Just noticed I'm up to £101.4m. Not that its any use to me, but out of interest what's everyone elses team value up to?
Open ControlsNo WC.. 2 transfers.
It seems ridiculous to me too.. hence the question.Open ControlsIf you had Hazard, Michu, tevez then between them they cover pretty much all of that. Not altogether ridiculous.
Open ControlsI know where the money has come from.. its ridiculous that the prices rises on those players have been so much.
Lots of knee jerkiness abound.Open ControlsStandard for the start of the season I think. People have a bad week and overreact. It's always been this way, non?
Also the flurry of wildcards will help.Open Controls
Must've had the likes of Michu, Hazard, etc.... You lucky dog.
Open ControlsI've missed the boat on Hazard.. feel that I've missed out on his early value.
Gone for RvP instead (super differential for me atm).. will swoop for Hazard at another time.Open Controls
Very nice mate
Open Controls101
Open ControlsI'm on 99.9 with 0.9 in the bank. A little bit annoyed I haven't got Hazard, will bring him in next week. Also miyaichi dropping 0.1 has annoyed me.
Open Controls
Hello all.
What defender for 5.0 or less would you fit in with this lot: Zabaleta, Cuellar, Hughes and Demel?
- Newcastle have good fixtures and are a proven defence.
- A Swansea defender perhaps, but they don't rotate with Cuellar.
Thanks in advance!Open Controls
What Michu 7.0M //////// ? To buy or not buy ? I have Graham and Dyer already!
Open ControlsFor the price I would be going Pienaar/Johnson instead at this point personally.
