The Community Round Up

Squad balance and the influence of the Fantasy Premier Leagues’s new Bonus Points System on our formations were amongst the key discussions taking place on the boards this week. We also look at some of our posters’ worst ever Gameweeks and catch up with the latest from our community’s leagues.

The Hottest Topics

The international break provides a useful time for Fantasy managers to take stock of their team. It’s a time to consider playing the market with a wildcard, saving transfers or waiting nervously for your players to return from their travels unscathed.

In our discussion on international break strategy, Newarse was among those looking to invest in Wayne Rooney ahead of Gameweek 4’s clash with Crystal Palace, while SAAB admitted he was “dying to” wildcard. Sadly Rooney’s head injury has since put paid to Newarse’s plans.

For those considering wildcarding over the break, though, Get In urges caution. Similarly, Triggerlips has also been looking at how much a wildcard is worth and wonders whether it could be best used later in the season when the double Gameweeks mount up.

Impressive Tackle’s post late last week on squad balance proved one of the most popular yet. He looks at the ideal spread of money across the team, which will come in handy for those currently on a wildcard.

Elsewhere, Southampton fan Bayern Badonde has been keeping a close eye on his team’s midfield in an attempt to help us better understand their mid-price options. With so many forward options on offer this will prove useful to those looking for an alternative to Rickie Lambert.

For many, especially those that captained Robin Van Persie or Edin Dzeko, Gameweek 3 was a horror show.  When we asked what has been your worst ever Gameweek, SW6 had last season’s Gameweek 2 tally of just 27 firmly etched in his memory. Similarly, Adam West will never forget selling Dimitar Berbatov just prior to the Bulgarian putting five goals past Blackburn for Man United.

Finally, the Bonus Point System continues to vex the community, especially the lack of points for assists. Blue Tiger was on hand to run the rule over the new system and show the dramatic changes it is making to our formations.

Community Leagues

In HeelsOverHead’s Worst To First – 2 Million+ Club league, open to those with an overall worse than two million in the first five gameweeks, Goyko Locos continues to lead the competitors epic race for a respectable rank. He is now 920,000th in the FPL game with no hits or wildcard. To join the other 18 teams in this league the code is 459213-545168.

Meanwhile, in Thomas and Peppie & Felix‘s Friends Life H2H Competition Thomass, Forca Inter and Daniel top each of their three groups.

Forca Inter is also one of the five league leaders in In Tommy We Trust‘s  competition. The other four are Smarty Pants, Tommy Tour, Mind Over Mata and Binji.

Torres Magic’s Last Man Standing competition saw 47 knocked out, with 934 left. The safety score was 34. In his Early Bird league 475 qualified and 256 were knocked out.

With a score of 207 Dr Ennet leads Fifa Las Vegas’s league, closely followed by Somebody’s Gonna Get Lit Up on 205 and Messimerized on 199.

In FFS UEFA’s leagues Shipsontrev was the top weekly scorer with 68 points. Lateriser12’s captaining of Olivier Giroud earned him this week’s Order of Extreme Valour award. Special mention goes to The Light Knight for his audacious decision to hand the armband to Hatem Ben Arfa. Tommy Tour is another doing well. He sits in first place in their La Liga on nine pts and is 529th in the world.

FFS Uefa have also announced details of their latest tournament, which is open to 737 community members and based around the FA Cup. More details can be found here and the registration form can be found here. Those already involved in the FFS UEFA leagues and those who applied unsuccessfully to be a part of that competition have all been given an automatic space so do not need to apply.

      Collins was flagged earlier in the season (very early), so despite having net 71k NTI some of these NTI won't have counted towards the rise. Don't know how many of them, though.

    Not sure what to do with my FT as there doesn't seem to be a Mirallas replacement worth bringing in...

    Migs - Rudd

    Zaba - Kos - Clyne - M.Turner - Brayford

    Hazard - Silva - Michu - Mirallas - Kim

    Giroud - Soldado - Van Wolf

    Brayford is just a perma bench so will prob stay forever now he's dropped in value.

    Save the transfer? Or get shot of Mirallas for Eriksen maybe?

    Had a decent start this season, but still stuck to the game plan and used WC on sunday.

    Still trying to make money on players just now but team I am so far going with is :

    Mignolet / Boruc

    Walker Coleman Zaba Shaw Whittaker

    Oscar Brady Ozil Lamela Redmond

    Sturridge Benteke Giroud

    Think Ozil is a must, Lamela looks like Bale Mark II, but know this is a slight gamble, but midfield has let me down so far so why not go with the new boys

    May go back to Negrado if guarantees starts
    Unsure if should stick with Terry or go with Walker??

    People wildcarding now...are you including RVP?

    With no WC again until GW20, this is the time to set your squad up long term. It is easy to get rid of RVP and then spend the funds how you want but once you have gone RVP-less and spread the funds around your team it is very difficult to get him in after.

          Cole is the safest bet for game-time, but I'd argue there are better options for less than 6.5 with similar CS potential and probably more attacking threat

      I can't wait to see him playing. I think from FPL perspective, it's Giroud & Theo who will benefit. Ozil will get 3 points each for the many assists he will make... but Giroud will get 4 points for being on the end of them... and Theo 5 points! Plus inevitable Baps...

      Not sure Ozil will be a proflific goalscorer as well as assister basically

          Wally & Olly are my Arsenal weapons of choice also - I think Walcott could be in line for the odd hattrick or two now, and GIroud will have a steady supply of chance. Giroud seems to have a bit of confidence now so as long as he avoids injury, he has the form, fixtures and supply line to make a mockery of his price tag

            Nice. I'm keeping Giroud, I certainly think he won't score any less when Ozil has arrived. Triple on them could be madness, probably best to stick with Walcott and Giroud.

      I think Walcott wud score higher with similar mins but I suspect ozil will get more mins across season as Walcott is prone to a niggle. Similar to cazorla last season, ozil may be a season keeper whereas Walcott may be the more explosive (c) choice to own in stages. Walcott is really consistent tho actually so long as he keeps fit.
