Tottenham and Arsenal justify their lofty league positions by supplying us with some eye-catching statistics over the weekend. Michu’s goal threat against Palace, Southampton’s defensive solidity and Chelsea’s attacking midfield trio also come under our analytical eye in this week’s regular sift through the data for members.
Aftertoon everyone,
I notice they've been popular today, so here's my "should I wildcard?" post.
Current Team (already on -4 and have 2.6 mil in the bank)
Mignolet K.Davis
Terry Coleman Whittaker Chester BTurner
Ozil Michu Mirallas JWP JWilliams
Suarez Benteke SoldadoOpen Controls
Alright sod it, I am playing the money game and having some fun, and I have even...yes...wait for it....oh bugger....got a Rag in!!!
Spent 12pts....yes 12.
Did Eriksen, Walcott, Lampard and Benteke OUT
Got Brady, Michu, Ozil and Rooney IN
Team is.......
Mignolet
Enrique Coleman Zabaleta
Michu Ozil Brady Barkley(v)
Sturridge Giroud Rooney (c)
Boruc , HBA, Burner, ChesterOpen ControlsUsed mate.
Open Controls
Michu and Ozil look like perfect moves for every week, the rest of the season. Rooney is home to West Brom and got lucky, (well not really) with a fantastic free-kick! Brady two home matches in a row.
Thanks for the sarcasmOpen ControlsJust noticed your grav!!!! HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WISH YOU'D STOP MOANING 4 - 1 MINUTE!!!
AGUEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!Open ControlsNot really internet warrior. I am a very intelligent man, and a City fan, so this week my life is undoubtedly better than yours.
Now, back to FPL talk. See yaOpen Controls
I would appreciate some passing thoughts on this draft WC team...
Migs Lewis
Baines Vidic Dawson Wilson Clyne
Ozil Michu Ramsey Brady Jedinak
Rooney Suarez LukakuOpen Controls
Good bad
Meh good meh good good
Good good meh meh bad
Good good good
Overall though I like it, maybe downgrade baines to upgrade midfield? Dawson is undoubtedly good if you reckon he's nailed?Open Controls
Lampard to Brady
Benteke to Rooney
For a hit? Tonight to avoid price changes?Open ControlsReally? Interesting view? What makes you think he's worth keeping?
Open Controls
i would say so...minimum couple of weeks to a max of 5 weeks.
Open Controls
Open Controls
Rvp, meet and wally our for Rooney michu and baines for -4?
Open Controls
it is indeed really tempting me 🙁
http://i.imgur.com/7gar2Co.pngOpen Controlsyeah, that's why it's tempting me.
I am 0.3 short to afford it, but I could make that money on price rises, if decide to WC by tonight..Open Controls
How do you feel about downgrading Whittingham to Ravel Morrison 4.4 ? That would give you the cash to do the other transfers. Obviously if you make the money on price rises then happy days
Open ControlsI haven't decided yet whether use WC or not, so I'll be thinking and dealing with it if decide so 😉
but sounds appealingOpen Controls
Done 3 transfers on Saturday before price rise till now 2 FT and -4
RvP ➡ Rooney
Walcott ➡ Ozil
Lampard ➡ Ramsey
Thinking about going for Benteke ➡ Suarez will be another -4.
How bad is Benteke injury ?Open ControlsArnautovic in my opinion is a better option than Ramsey, Hernandez etc. OOP and very, very talented
Open Controls
Many are jumping on Rooney because of the money but RVP is the penalty, corner and direct free kick taker... I am not selling.
Open Controls
Rooney also takes corners and free kicks, depending on location. Dunno if penalties are worth over 3 million
Open Controls
if roon had pens you would soon rub it in at rvp owners.
Open Controls
same here rvp stays
Open Controlsdirect FKs are on Rooney, have you seen last games ?
He also takes some cornersOpen ControlsHe scored against City because RVP was absent, the majority of the direct FKs will be taken by RVP imo
Open Controlshe's also been taking them with RVP around.
And after 2 goals directly from the set pieces, he should be taking them in the nearest future at leastOpen Controls
both scored when main man not playing
keep up pleaseOpen Controls
Ride the price drop, then
Open Controls
1ft
A. Walcott to Ozil
B Walcott to Michu
C. Benteke to SuarezOpen Controls
Evening guys, how's everyone doing? Am completely undecided on how to use my FT this week.
Mignolet/Harper
Zabaleta, Mertesacker, Clyne
Walcott, Mirallas, Nolan, Ben Arfa
Soldado, Sturridge, Giroud
(Walker, Ward, Williams)
A) Nolan -> Michu
B) Soldado -> Rooney
C) otherOpen Controls
Which transfer
Walcott to ozil
Or
Hba to OscarOpen ControlsWant to do it before price rises
Open Controls
Must resist temptation....
Ignore price madness...
Kill totalfpl....
No early transfers...
Not yet time for Nolan to michu....one more week...
Resist the soldado to Rooney - soldado will come good...
Agggggg!!!!!!!!!!Open Controls
Seems people don't like Aguero that much. How come?
Has put in great numbers in terms of shots for the past two seasons. Is extremely talented, plays for a team high on confidence and with some attractive fixtures coming up.
Don't fancy Suarez one little bit, has basically had no pre-season and may not even be the best option in his own team.
Rooney I'm down with but I think I'd favour Aguero still. Aguero has penalties, a better, more attacking manager, more talented players supplying him.
Why would you disagree?Open Controls
He is great I agree. But he is also rotated...
Open Controls
1) Utd and Pool fixtures.
2) City don't play as well away.
3) I'm just afraid to go near him because of last season. Burnt myself 4 times. He does tempt be but i'm not plunging in immediately like i did last season.Open ControlsFixtures arent as good as pools/uniteds and possible rotation. I agree that he has as much upside as any player in the game though
Open ControlsAguero is a great pick once CL break is on.
Open ControlsHi Scroob. Response to me? 😉 for me, it's a question of importance to the team- Suarez will be Liverpool. he's played well in the internationals and has got one hell of a point to prove. IIRC, he outperformed sturridge last year.
Aguero- not a fan, four great strikers for 1-2 slots, although aguero first choice, won't play all, and until I see mancity winning convincingly consistently a no for me.
Shrek? Great fixtures, will play nigh all, and has a bad midfield (not utilised properly) so should hog the pointageOpen Controls
Aguero's immediate fixtures are a lot less tasty than those of Liverpool and ManU.
ManC's results have hardly been the most consistent recently.
Suarez was scoring for fun in the internationals.* Citation needed. And is arguably the best player of the 3.
Rooney has scored 2 freekicks recently and everyone thinks he's the dog's doodahs.Open Controls
I'd disagree with suarez. He returned from Evra ban and dominated. He'll do the same again.
Rooney has nicer fixtures than aguero.
Aguero is more prone to rotation.
My thoughts 🙂Open Controls
@scroobius
saw you were thinkin of offloadin soldado, not worth holding for 2 home games?Open ControlsYeah could do. Just getting annoyed at him not picking up points (I've captained him for the last two weeks exacerbating the annoyance).
Open Controlsthe same, but i pulled the trigger last week to get rid of aguero after a run of nothing........of course he scores 2 whilst tekkers gets 1 point and injured..........so its making me think that i have to be patient and soldado has to be good surely...........
Open Controls
Just saw MOTD.
One 5.0 M player absolutely stood out for me. Amalfitano.
Will definitely get him once fixtures become better.Open Controls
any suggestions on this team
Migs
Coleman - Zaba - Shaw
Brady - HBA - Ozil - Eriksen
Benteke - Rooney - Giroud
Bench : Given - Collins - Ward - Parker
no FT 3m in bank
any changes required??Open ControlsFor the next couple of weeks would you rather have:
1) RVP, Lukaku, Evra
2) Rooney, Giroud, BainesOpen Controls
So
1. Injured, still a sub and CS chance
Or
2. On form, on form, on formOpen ControlsWhen you put it like that... 🙂
I think I am a bit afraid not owning RVP...Open Controls
That's a lottery, one could easily outscore the other
Open ControlsHmmm... it is isn´t it. I just can´t decide right now.
Open Controls
Out of 10?
Migs (Lewis)
Coleman Zaba Collins (M.Turner Baker)
Ozil Michu Moses Barkley (HBA)
Rooney Sturridge GiroudOpen Controls
8
Open Controls
Hey folks
I have 1FT and thinking of taking out Lampard for Michu?
Mignolet, Given
Vidic, Coleman, Turner, Turner, Chester
Walcott, Lampard, HBA, Whittingham, Brady
RVP, Soldado, Lukaku
What do you think?
I have £1.7m in the bank
Thank youOpen ControlsLampard to Michu seems like a good idea I think!
Take a look what to do with Chester next. I think he could be out for a while.Open Controls
Michu is more a striker than a midfielder, he should be the n1 choice in anyone's team
Open Controls
dio it + swa has good 5-6 fixturs..lamps not penciled in.
Open Controls
Really need to work on my team value with me wildcarding this week.
Don't quite understand the 'science' of it all, is there a way to best profit from the system?Open ControlsCheck on http://development.totalfpl.com/pricechanges which ones are about to rise, and more important which ones have the highest procentage rise.
Open ControlsCatch the double risers.
Open Controls
I've already used by FT on Soldado to Sturridge. I'm thinking of dumping Walcott but looking around I don't see any adequate replacements. I already have HBA, Brady and Michu and I'm a RvP and Giroud owner. Plus I have no more money. Any suggestions?
Open ControlsMirallas for this week, oscar for long term, eriksen if you want a cheaper ozil type player
Open Controls
studge and suarez in my team...... beautiful...............it surely cant get any worse........ 😯
