Paul We delve into the Gameweek 36 data this evening after Arsenalโs clash with Newcastle drew the line under another round of matches. With the double Gameweek fast approaching, we cast any eye over some standout performers from City, United, Sunderland and West Brom, whilst we also analyse a couple of popular Fantasy protagonists whose recent droughts are persuading many owners to part company:
Say Rafael ends up being fit for the weekend would you still get Jones in for Man U defense? I can't afford Evra and don't really think anyone else is nailed on to play both games
I'd go Jones. Rafael has become a bit of a joke, but maybe not as bad as his brother. Those two cats annoy the living shite out of me for some reason.
And I'm a twin....not identical, however.
I wouldn't go near Rafael....either Jones or Evra.
I can see Jones playing the first game at right back at least. and possibly a move to centre. Dont think Rio and Vidic will play both matches. Jones has been pretty reliable. Think he'll play both matches.
Season is slowly slipping away.
It slipped away from me between GWs 9-11 ๐
Deleted my post??
Go back a page.
Weird ... appeared on the new page (by coincidence) and then disappears back a page.
The most exciting thing that's happened on here today!
How are the leagues looking TM, sorry to hear you got bumped this week.
Your post sort of breaks the CAPS rules. ๐
Guess it really is boring on here.
Being at lunch so filling in some time.
I got bumped a few weeks ago.
2 Grand Finals in FPL Open & Elite 64 with Wakka Wakka in both.
LMS is down to the Final 3 with winner taking all this week.
Oh sorry mate ... didnt realise there were CAPS rules ... NOW I KNOW!
Been a tight year with your leagues, I had a terrible start to the season so was never really in it ... you've done quite well though!
Better start planning where to reassign your time and thinking. For me I might spend more time doing my job rather than being paid to sit at my desk and think about FF. Got 3 months to make some progress before next season starts. Less one month for the WC of course
@TM How many will get eliminated of the remaining four this week?
In Last Man Standing
Only 3 left as I got eliminated.
Winner takes all this week as GW38 is normally a lottery.
You will need to beat the other 2.
Whoa, a bit of pressure there. I was thinking of an RVP (C) punt if he's fit this week to try to get up to a 3-digit rank and now with this information I feel like this is definitely the week for a punt. By the way thanks for setting up all these leagues each year, fun distraction if you aren't doing well and even more fun if you are!
Cheers & good luck. ๐
He won't be match fit for the double I think.
Well if he isn't fit then i'll have to go in another direction but from what i've read he's been making good progress in training. Still, i'm definitely holding off on making any transfers until Friday just so I can monitor the situation
Guess I'll post my team and see what you guys think of my potential moves.
Mannone
Azp, Baines, Demi
Ramsey, Eriksen, Mirallas
Rooney, Suarez, Aguero
3.9, Flanagan, Ward, Kim
----------------------------------------------
Basic template plan is to go Baines and Mirallas --> Jones and Yaya-4. Anything better than that? ranked around 16k and still hoping for a top10k finish. Thanks
An 11th player would be better.
Agreed, the 10-man "bus" isn't likely to do any better than a full 11
Baines & Mirallas > Yaya and Jones sounds pretty good, provided Jones plays 180.
Koscielny could be another option, granted he's not playing the double.
That just about finishes things off nicely. Much like the rest of our teams, so I see little movement in the ranking for most.
Yeah looks pretty template but I don't really fancy taking alot of hits to make wild changes but would be willing to hit for high upside players which I can't think of any ๐
Mannone (Marshall)
Kos Demi Ivanovic (Gabbi / Bruce)
Mata Nasri Eriksen Ramsey (Mutch)
Suarez Aguero Borini
Transfers:
P Jones for Both matches this DGW?
Rooney for Suarez?
Amalfitano or Delph as a pun?
Chasing a 19 Point Deficit (back from about 80-100 over past 10 weeks), the above would give me 9 DGWers, rival has DDG, Kolarov, Zaba, Aguero made 4 transfers already. Assume they are YYT, Rooney in - Maybe Mata and UTD Def
Worth the above?
you have to get Rooney. could be slaughter otherwise.
What news on Bardsley? Is it worth starting him, to get auto subbed out?
How's the team look? 0.5itb
DDG
Demi - Cahill - Chester
Yaya - Mata - AJ - Rambo
Suarez - Aguero - Rooney (c)
Coleman - Ward - Puncheon
Don't change a thing.
Apart from swapping Punchy and Ward on the bench.
Good enough, I'd reverse the subs though.
Cheers. Don't think the subs will get a sniff though..
True ... but for a loss of 8 seconds of your life it could make a monumental difference if Ramsey falls ill and you get Coleman with -1 instead of Puncheon with 15 (2 goals, 3 baps)
You guys always tell me them when I ask so now that I’ve figured out how to find them I figured I’d return the favor, so here are the current Point Benchmarks:
Dead Last: 1153
Top 2 Million: 1604
Top 1.5 Million: 1764
Top 1 Million: 1898
Top 500K: 2019
Top 250K: 2093
Top 100K: 2161
Top 50K: 2201
Top 20K: 2244
Top 10K: 2272
Top 5K: 2296
Top 1K: 2346
Top 500: 2364
Top 100: 2400
#1 Overall: 2519
Amazing ... sitting at 16k at the moment, so a nice big DGW return could bump into the top 10k, but it's tough going from here.
Lovely stuff. 16 points away from the Top 1K. That is my target. Gambles will be taken.
I'm also aiming for top 1K but with me being 35 points away it just might not be feasible but hey, with the right punts and a good DGW anything can happen!
Easily. Upswings are very easily possible.
This is my season. Momentum is with me. http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/6694/history/
Shinji is my gamble.
We have pretty similar teams and I was thinking about an RVP (C) punt if Giggs declares him fit on Friday, if not, I too was thinking about Kagawa as a great differential.
At 36k....need another big haul to get up there.
edit: 34k
23 points outside the top 50K. Disappointing from my start of season ambitions, but a major recovery in the last few weeks. I'll take that and try again next season.
Wow I'm agonisingly close to Top 10K. If I had captained Rooney last week it would have looked a good shout. Can still hope.
32 points in 2 weeks required to get in top 100k
it is possible but tough
most probably i will just miss it by a whisker
Hows she looking? Going Yaya-less for the entire season.
Mannone
Ivan Kos Demi
Mata Nasri Ramsey Shinji
Suarez Kun Roo(c)
wouldn't fancy Shinji in there.....any way you can get Mata?
oops..;)
Looking rock solid! I've decided to stick with Nasri (& no Yaya) also... Nasri's stats have looked very decent in Silva's absence. Due a big haul. Great option for the DGW
Kagawa... interesting pick. Currently struggling to find the funds to bring in Mata, I may go Valencia myself
Giggs to stick with the starting XI from the Norwich game?
Really fancy Shinji. Been eyeing him for a while now and i just get that spidey sense telling me a haul is due. Plus i love the player. Good time to gamble i reckon.
fair enough. best of luck with the pick.
Also i do think Giggs will stick to a similar team not the same one. Mata will come in.
If I didn't already have 3 United players, then I'd join you on Kagawa!
Which Premiership players second name is made entirely of Roman numerals?
VIDIC?
Bang! Got it!
second name = middle name? or nickname? last name?
Any changes for the final gameweeks? Made my trade fro the week, so any further changes will require a hit.
Mannone (Adrian)
Jones, Desmichales, Chester (Baines, Mariapa)
Yaya, Mata, Eriksen, Gerrard (Mutch)
Rooney (c), Aguero, Suarez
0.2 in the bank... 8 DGW players
Finally, all of my opponents have Ramsey and Nasri... and none have Yaya or Gerrard. Trying to protect a 20 pt lead in teh final 2 Gameweeks.
Which is the only Premier League team Thierry Henry has played against, but failed to score?
Can anyone hazard a guess?
Nope.
Arsenal! Unless he scored an own goal before, you can't say I'm wrong ๐
Didn't Henry light up Chelsea after being falsely accused of not scoring against big opponents and then after his haul he questioned whether or not Chelsea where a "big team"
Guessing it must be chelsea so ๐
Nope.
Nope.
Palace or Cardiff or someone who wasnt in the PL when Henry played
No, Henry has scored against every single Premier League club he's played against in the league, apart from this one team.
But they are in the Premier League now.
Ah still in the PL. Hmm.
Did he play Arsenal in the champions league ever?
Nope, the clue is they're currently in the PL.
Fulham? QPR?
Nope.
Nope.
Perhaps Hull, I know they were in the league a few season ago
Nope.
Here's another clue... When he played against this team he was on loan.
YEEEEEES!
He played 28 minutes against them in the 11/12 season!
Is this sarcasm lol?
No, why would you think that?
It took ages for anyone to answer... that means it's a good quiz question...
Just beat me to it
Play Januzaj this week if you have him?
Me neither ... unless it's really itchy!
La Rojas comment above got me thinking. Who's the most obscure player you've brought into FPL? Talking players with such low ownership they put differentials to shame or players that people would scream 'Good God why on Earth do you have him in your team?!'
I had El Ahmadi early in the season as bench fodder, no idea why. And I had to play him one week. I think it was against West Brom. I put a bet on the match, over a certain amount of goals. El Ahmadi scored for me and made my bet come in and win me £80!
Haha brilliant.
I started the season with Altidore. He was in such a great run of form for the U.S. national team.... I also owned Berbatov for a random week, but he was immediately injured, so I he never played for me. And, to make myself feel better about those disasters, I've owned Dann for 5 weeks now, so he was kinda obscure (
Oh, and of course Steer was extremely obscure to the casuals.
An American friend of mine has had Altidore in his team all season on principle lol
Fabio was a pretty horrendous choice. Don't really know why I got in Aaron Hughes in GW24 either, he hadn't played a minute for 5 weeks and went out on loan pretty soon after.
Lol. Strangely enough every time I brought in a non playing keeper with wildcards each one quickly went out on loan soon after lol
Morning lads. You reckon there is much in it between A and B?
A) Kolarov Azpi Alonso Mata Sterling
B) Evra Jones Chester Zaba/Demi Eriksen
In what bracket would you want to finish each year to be considered "Elite" ... i'm thinking top 10K?
Super Elite = top 1k?
Applying the word elite to fantasy football immediately makes you super-non-elite at using words. Anyone finishing in the top 1K every year is very lucky (though admittedly good as well).
Unless you strive to be an elitist its probably better not to use the term. Finishing in the top 10k regularly does make you a very good FPL player though. Finishing in the top 1k regularly makes you a bit of an FPL legend, but only if you don't proclaim yourself one ๐
Cesar Azpilicueta might just have the scariest photo on his FPL profile...
And why are Man. United the only team that smiles in their pictures
Nevermind, Liverpool as well
A lot of them are shocking. He looks like Big mouth Billy Bass. Have to wonder why they dont get normal pics of them.
Nasri looks drunk out of his mind
Nasri's is another good one
Charlie Adam ... hahahaha!!
Oh wait, thats just his normal face!
Any player need to go?
Speroni (Boruc)
Kolarov Chester Jones (Ward) (Fabio)
Yaya Mata Eriksen Ramsey (Barkley)
Rooney(c) Suarez Aguero
Right then Nice to Finally Michu and Zep! One last quiz question before I go sleep!
Can you name the 4 players who have played in the Manchester, Merseyside and Madrid derbys?
4 ๐ฏ can't think of one
Two are very easy!
Ronaldo is one
Ronaldo hasn't played for Liverpool or Everton lol.
Oh I misread that, my bad
No Merseyside derby for him
Wouldn't have played in the Merseyside one though
lol
Rafa nearly had him for around 10 mil ๐ฟ
Mowen
The dog
Anelka
Michael Owen? YES!!
xabi alonso
if liverpool vs united counts as manchester derby ๐
you can definitely add him by the logic used in for Mark Hughes ๐
MvManaman anyways
Did Steve McManaman play at Pool, City and Real?
YES!
YES!
The fourth one is currently in a managing career!
McMannaman was City, Real and Liverpool right?
FourFourTwo? ๐
I'll post the three that I got without looking for answers later in the mag!
Owen & Anelka have been said, the other I got was Steve McManaman.
Jo played for CIty and Everton. Did he play with Athletico?
Wait the last ones flawed. Apparently Mark Hughes is the fourth. But it clearly says where I read it, that he played for Barcelona, so how could he have played in the Madrid derby.
Sorry lads!
It's El Clásico, not the Madrid derby ๐
I know, but where I read it said "these are the only four players who have played in the Madrid, Manchester and Merseyside derbys... Mark Hughes (United, Barcelona, Everton)
๐ ๐
๐
Have a look at this one ๐ ๐
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Which_4_players_have_played_in_the_merseyside_derby_Manchester_derby_and_Madrid_derby?#slide=2
Loads of players that have played for 2/3, but can't for the life of me name a 4th...
Hi everyone.
MANNONE
EVRA ZABA Azpi
MATA JOHNSON Eriksen Ramsey
Suarez AGUERO ROONEY
Coleman - BRUCE - Noone
You guys reckon I should do one of
Johnson / Eriksen / Ramsey + Coleman to
Nasri / Yaya + Chester
for -8?
No, right?
Looks good as is
Its not worth 8 points no. Stick with what you've got.
As always. This DGW madness will lead to nothing spectacular in rankings. Rankings won't move. Will be happy to gain 10pts on rivals.
There's some very appealing sgw players that could make the difference
True. Every bit helps. I'm hoping Ramsey does his bit. Was disappointed with Kun last GW. No Chelsa worries me for GW 37/38. ๐
Yeah I fancy rambo, eriksen and ivan to do well for me this week.
Could always get a chelski next week?
I can't see how I would be able to fit a chelski in without taking a hit.... 0 ITB. Depends how ML stands after the GW.
only 23 pts between positions 1-3.
What you reckon, go Rooney(c)? Safe option as I think no 1 and 2 will both do that. or do I risk Kun or Yaya?
Kolarov(c) ftw
steve mcmanaman ๐
gerrard + silva to yaya +8.7 mid?
best mid for 8.7
a) AJ
B) Giacherini
C)Januzaj
D)Amalfitano
E)Sterling
can get city mid because i already have 3
I feel like I've let you all down haha! But here's what the answer says!
"Mark Hughes (Man Utd, Barcelona, Everton), Steve McManaman (Liverpool, Real Madrid, Man City), Nicolas Anelka (Real Madrid, Liverpool, Man City) and Michael Owen (Liverpool, Real Madrid, Man Utd)."
Right lads. I'm off to sleep!
Ill polish up some questions to ask in 24 hours time! And I promise they won't be flawed this time!
Ok guys.
Let's be prepared. Differentials. For GW 38, just in case I'm still in the hunt for my ML.
Go!
Borini, Giaccherini, Vidic, Kompany (since most people are getting Evra and Demi)..Jelavic!
No thanks. Not defenders. We are talking GW 38 here...we need some explosive picks.
