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.
I made a rash knee jerk on Saturday night, when I was drunk. I have fallen foul to drunken decisions before.
Went Benteke & Chester > Lukaku & Shaw
But I have Wally & RVP in my team, so is it worth just taking another hit and get Ozil, Ramsey or Michu in for Wally & go RVP > Rooney, might just be worth writing this week off and take a few hits to get the team sorted!
What do people think?Open Controls
Don't point chase, chill and see what Lukaku and RVP do
Wally for Michu Oscar Erikson or Ozil when you have more infoOpen ControlsYeah I find it hard to chill haha, but will be able to afford a good midfielder with price drops rises for Wally if he doesn't play. Already have Eriksen, HBA and Redmond in midfield and Sturridge to up front too, so I should stop panicking.
Open Controls
wait to see if wally and rvp are injured first.
Open ControlsYeah I will do, just getting frustrated with not quite getting my transfer right! Was sure HBA would do something against Hull!
Open Controls
Did the something similar ..
Benteke Brady Soldado > Michu Suarez (for -8)
And I still have RVP & Wally..Will not go for another hit..Sticking with this lot and praying for good things to happen now !!

I had an awful gameweek this week and indont know what to do. This is my team, it got me just 28 points and im wondering should I WC? Btw I have 2 free transfers and 0.3mil in bank.

Mirallas Walcott Nolan Eriksen
Benteke Soldado Sturridge
Bench: Mannone Kim Bo-Kyung Collins TouréOpen ControlsEveryone did, Tekkers, Soldado should be priorities out, Wally Nolan after that
I like me some lukakuOpen ControlsWas thinking of getting in rooney and Lukaku looks enticing but ive already made the mistake of getting him!
Open ControlsDifferent situation, he was never going to start for Mou, he is the straw that stirs everton's drink
Open Controls
why would you take Soldado off?
did you look at his upcoming fixtures?
sure he's about to start scoring,can't keep missing forever.Open ControlsYes. He can. It's called not being very good
Open ControlsHe does have very strong fixtures, but I think Eriksen + Spurs defender and then having Rooney/Saurez could be a better way to go.
Open Controls
Thoughts on Oscar please guys?
Open Controls
Newcastle's fixtures are pretty dire...though I suppose we have to persevere with Ben Arfa through them because he could score at any time, I guess.
I wonder if he is still on penalties now that Remy is in the team? He did take them for QPR last season, I remember him missing one while I had him in my team (against Fulham?).Open Controls
Can someone pls answer me this.. Is lampard worth holding onto??
Open Controls
So, is there any room for morals in FPL. I absolutely refuse to get a racist, violent Suarez. Will that bite me in the arse (excuse the pun)?!!
Open ControlsTotally, nothing in the world could cause me to roser Yossi Benayoun, not even 5 consecutive hat tricks
Wait, did you say morals or standards?Open Controlsin that case,you should first stop watching football,stop playing fpl and then erase 99% of the planet earth.
Open Controls
100% with you.

You can do well in FPL without him IMO.Open ControlsTotally agree with your comment.
Diving, sadly, appears to be part of the game so we have to put up with it. But the rest, no thanksOpen Controls
Current team
Mignolet, Marshall
Ivanovic, Coleman, Mertesacker, Turner, Chester
Lampard, Ben Arfa, Walcott, Mirallas, Kim Bo-Kyung
Benteke, Giroud, Soldado
Potential w/c team
Mignolet, MCGREGOR
Coleman, TERRY, DAWSON, CLYNE, TURNER
TOURE, MICHU, OZIL, BARKLEY, BRADY
Giroud, AGUERO, LUKAKU
Yes, no, maybe...?Open ControlsA bit knee jerky then?
Open Controls
To w/c or not, that is the question.
Open Controls
The answer is no. Put down GW5 as an aberration. A freak event. Compared to the goal shortage in GW1-4 this was one week yet most here are persisting with 7 up front so what really has changed since Friday when you liked this team?
Open Controls
Oscar seems to be pipping Eriksen in popularity in the number of wildcard drafts posted - but the comparison tool shows Eriksen to be ahead on averages, albeit over the 2 GWs he's featured.
What's driving people towards Oscar?Open ControlsOh and Tekkers/wally to
A ozil /lukaku
B Sturridge/michuOpen Controls
Ramsey Ozil Brady Michu Whittingham
Giroud rooney suarez
Best front 8?Open ControlsAgree.
Seen dem fixtures though?Open Controls
Suarez>Studge and Ramsey>Eriksen maybe better.
Open ControlsAgree potentially with Ramsey to Eriksen.
Definitely not regarding suarez.
I bought sturridge before suarez return last year and got DESTROYED for it. Suarez obliterated sturridge points.Open Controlsdid the same last year and thinking doing the same this season 🙂
Open Controls
no
Open ControlsWell who would you suggest xD?
Open Controls
Hi have
Boruc
Toure Merte Collins Baker Garrido
hazard - Ward Prowse - Michu - Walcott- Moses
RVP Chamakh Benteke
Only 1 FT was gonna get rid of hazard as well for -4.
Having a crap season is there any justification for a WC instead?Open Controls
Headache.
Augero and Barkley
Or
Muchu and lukaku
Help!?Open Controls
Would someone mind telling me why all the Erikson love?
I'm normally quite hot on up and coming FPL points scorers. I know the boy's got potential, but is this purely based on his Europa goal? Or did I miss an AVB presser which assured he'd get game time?
CheersOpen ControlsI believe he'll get game time.
But unsure of spurs scoring a lot.Open Controlsimo he is a modric type of a player they missed last year,maybe even more offensive and will surely start every game.I reckon he'll produce sooner than we hope.
Open Controls
He'll get a lot of game time, if not being nailed on. He is the only genuine playmaker in Spurs' midfield (yet to see Lamela) so he's quite important for their attacking threat. That being said, I went with Oscar instead of him. Just see more goals coming from Chelsea's mids given that their strikers can't score! (Oscar also has a great a strike on him!).
Open ControlsWatch him play, only link up type TOT have ATM
Open Controls
no
Open Controls
Well that's it hba to Oscar for a hit!
Open Controls
Is wilson nailed on at stoke?
Seems to get good bonus points
but palacios is coming back....Open Controlswe have to wait to see.
Open ControlsI noted that it wasn't Wilson who got subbed for palacios this week.
Open ControlsDon't think so
Open Controls
Just seen the Ballotelli has got a 3 match ban. Some people never learn lol
Open ControlsSuarez to do the same GW15 (I think it takes 9 weeks for the average Uruguayan footballer to get hungry)
Open Controls
looking at the fixtures EVERTON will be lucky to get a clean sheet in the next 5... IMO
Open ControlsI see 3/5 cs there.
Open Controls
Pls could someone give me an answer on my post? A or B please!! Many thanks
Open Controls
I could be wrong here but if you had Benteke at 9m then I don't think tonight's pending price drop will effect you as he us currently at £9.3m therefore a drop of £0.1m will still mean you have made £0.2m profit giving you a £0.1m Mark up.
Therefore it's worth holding fire at the moment.Open Controls
What are peoples thoughts on Moses these days? Stats look good enough but will Suarez return effect game time?
Open ControlsMoses to play while Coutinho is out i think.
Open Controls
Here's a thought. Benteke now ruled out for C1 cup. Would that not confirm the injury and turn flag red making him protected. The thresholds on TotalFPL are shockingly low.
Unbiased views appreciated.Open Controls

A little reminder of what to expect from suarez this season
Including quality freekicks , the lad is Pure quality.Open Controls
7.9 for a midfielder. Already have HBA. no one really sticking out. Have 3 Arsenal so cant get Ramsey...

WILDCARD WORTH
How much hit pts will your wildcard worth?
if to have your wildcard team would cost you -12 or -16 in hits would u wildcard or just take hits instead?
thanksOpen Controlsthanks mate i was thinking the same
Open Controls
I've taken two -4's in a row so my threshold would probably be anything over -12 at this point. Read somewhere the average worth of a WC is somewhere around 30 pts.
Open Controlsu mean -30 pts? basically changing all players?
Open ControlsPoints it saves you from hits + points it gets you from in form players you bring in.
Open Controls
Certainly not -30pts. Surely you can replicate the key WC transfers with 8 transfers. 6 is borderline so 20pts for me.
Open Controls
Anything over 2 hits wc
Open ControlsWait for DGW to maximize value
Open Controlsu mean in 4 months time?
Open Controls
Who will score more this week?
A) RVP
B) Suarez
C) Ozil
D) Walcott
I know it's an odd question re: the circumstances but want to see what people think hahaOpen ControlsBest 4.5m defender?
Open Controls
Hi guys, thinking of doing
Walcott & Benteke > Michu & Rooney (-4)
It'll leave my team looking like this, worth it or shall I keep Walcott and just bring in Lukaku for Benteke?
Boruc. (Davis
