West Ham and Newcastle’s main forwards come under analysis in this week’s first members article. United’s youngsters display against Hull, Stoke’s rout of Fulham, City’ in-form frontman and Southampton’s recent resilience are also amongst some of the standout statistics on show:
Who have been your biggest flops of the season? I pretty much agree with the majority f these picks: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2055747-biggest-flop-for-every-premier-league-team-this-season

"Alcaraz is a poor defender, and his positioning is not good. Roberto Martinez gets so many thumbs up for his work this season, but Alcaraz has been Everton's Achilles' heel at the back."
Alcaraz was out for months with injury. He's not a good defender but Achilles' heel when he's played a few games?
Some of the other picks are poor as well. Wanyama in my opinion was good until injury. And Anichibe, a player renowned for being a bench player... And yet he somehow forget Soldado.Open ControlsJovetic had a long time out too.
To be honest he may as well single out every player that has been injured or on the bench and call them flops.
Ozil more of a flop than Wilshere imo.Open Controls
neither of those two are flops. jacks still young and ozil just needed to adjust/not be played a full 90 every game
Open ControlsArticle claimed Wilshere was a flop, not me.
Ozil, for the price paid, this season was a flop. Uninterested and 2nd rate performances on many occasions. I'm a massive fan of his and was delighted to see him in the PL but he really died of 2nd half of the season. That doesn't mean he will remain a flop though but this season I think he is.Open Controlsjust dont really like the term flop. and i know it was the article not you!

Further to the Kolarov posts earlier, the squad restriction for Man City in the Champions League looks to be a more serious punishment than I originally thought.
Given that City have no first team players (bar Richards who never plays and surely will be leaving in the summer) who are home-grown by the club, this immediately cuts the 21 man squad down to 17 players.
This means that a few injuries could leave City really struggling to put out a competitive bench in the CL next season and would also force them to play back-ups in the PL games around CL games due to the lack of room for rotation in Europe, thus also impacting on their chances in the PL, as well as in the CL.
Anyone got any thoughts on this? Obviously this is all dependent on City not successfully appealing the punishments.Open Controlsserves them fuc#ing well right.
those are my thoughts.Open Controls
Any news on Aguero?
Aguero > Dzeko sound like a good swap?Open Controls
5 weeks today is the start of the world cup
winner/top goalscorer?Open Controls
Winners - Germany (Even tough I'm supporting Italy)
Top Scorer - RonaldoOpen Controlsthe italians are my least favourite footballing nation ever and i dont even know why!
Open Controls
So how is everyone's ML shaping up.
I'm currently top by 14 points, but have a frontline of Rooney, Wickham & Aguero - so looks like some hits will occur.
What do people think the best strategy is if leading? Try to cancel out the other persons differentials or play your own gameOpen Controls
Play your own game.
Just take out Kun+Roon and bring in Suarez and Dzeko.Open Controls
Canceling is a p*$$y move but if there's a lot price money, defo do that.
I'm leading by 21 pts as it stands and my team is in shambles 🙂
Waiting as long as i can. For team news and maybe clues of my rivals moves. Only 80£ in my ML though...Open Controls
What's your team like for the final GW? I feel in a very similar boat.
Open Controlsfair bit in my one as there's so many teams. Will be saving transfers till as late as possible too
Open ControlsOk. Good luck to you Chris!
Open Controls
Ahead by 40.
2 weeks ago was 101 ahead.
Probably gonna play safe and be boring shipping Kun/Room to Dzeko/StudgeOpen ControlsProbably doing this too...

Got a 13 point lead in my mini league but my team is in tatters with injuries. Need some help with transfers. Obviously wait on Aguero/Rooney news but i'm struggling with what to do this week. Aguero + Rooney > Sturridge + Dzeko. Maybe Stirling in as my rival has him, not sure whether to do -4 or -8.
My team - 0.4 ITB
Mannone (Adrian)
Ward, Cahill, Zaba, Jones*, Chester*
Ramsey*, Yaya, Mata*, Eriksen, Noone*
Suarez, Aguero*, Rooney*
Rivals team - 4.2 ITB
Howard, Davis
Coleman, Zaba, Ward, Baker, McNaughton
Yaya, Mata*, Stirling, Ramsey*, Bacuna
Suarez, Aguero*, Wickham
*injured or doubtOpen Controls
Gents, would you triple up on Liverpool with SSS for a hit?
Rooney, Mata ➡ Studge, Sterling
Yay or Nay?Open Controls
Don't think I will triple up. If Liverpool have a mare (it's that kind of season, even against Newcastle) then all your eggs are in one basket.
Double up seems safer. Suarez and Studge for me I think.Open Controls
If your home country gets knocked out the World Cup, who will you be supporting?
I think it'll be Italy or Belgium for me!Open ControlsMy home country is going to win it.
Open Controls
So if you go by FPL terms, Crouch is the 4th highest scoring English defender. Take him to the World Cup I say
Open Controls*striker. Goddam.
Open Controls
What do guys think of Matas chances this week? Benched...?
Open ControlsNot sure if Giggs is mean enough to bench him for two games in a row but my gut feeling is to get rid of him.
Open ControlsHmm... Not sure i can afford to get rid PB. Look above.
p.s. Gotta go put the kids to sleep. I'll be back in a while.Open Controls
I can't afford the hit so I will keep him. I have too many injury worries to worry about. Have to keep the possible bench warmers.
Open ControlsUnited have a decent away record, don't they? So hopefully he can get something.
Open Controls
Feeling a bit sad this is last week.
Think this has been best season for banter on here.Open ControlsYour mum's a banter.
Open Controls
Why are people predicting Germany to win World Cup?
Haven't they leart yet that only Latin teams win in South America
Only Europeans in with a shout are Italy and SpainOpen Controls
Brazil will win. It's fixed.
Open Controls
Lukaku or Van Persie for last striker spot?
Have Suarez and DzekoOpen Controls
Thinking about next season..if I can't improve my rank each season then I'll stop playing..maybe that's the reason for the worse transfers possible in the last few weeks...to make it easier next season to top it...
Keep looking at Yaya...trying to learn where mistakes were made...he always scored 6 goals. He stepped up because aguero was always getting injured..? But he spent last season injured too. And they have Negredo.
Anyone else thinking of next season?Open Controls
Naffed off..Little lad just played in the regional cup final. He played in the Semi final LAST NIGHT whilst their opponents played their semi last week. My lads team were 1-0 with fifteen minutes to go...Can anybody guess which team ran out of steam?...Youth football is stupid in this country sometimes..ridiculous.
Open Controls
that's absolute nonsense..how can they let that happen??
Open Controls
Ludicrous that. Should have played the semis over consecutive days then the final tonight. Who on earth makes these decisions?
For all the talk of B teams etc stuff like this is what turns young kids of a football career, they get totally disheartened with the gameOpen Controls
These things happen at all levels, annoying but it is what it is.
Open Controls
I am going Sturridge but I was considering RVP. His game time was worrying me though.
Open ControlsMeh.
Open Controls
Mignolet
Coleman Davies Dann
Mata Nasri Ramsey Eriksen
Rooney Aguero Dzeko
subs: Mirallas (inj) Jones (inj) Ward
Rooney & Mata > Sterling & Suarez best option for me?Open Controls
rank 3.7k, this has been a sh1te fpl year.
yoyo can fro.Open Controls
If you had to sell one of mata and ramsey who would you choose
Open Controls
My opponent has agureo Suarez Rambo. I believe he'll capt Suarez and transfer in dezko for ag. I'm thinking of taking in dezko adebayor sturr and gerrard and give armband to Suarez. Getting rid of Suarez roo Rambo and ag. What do people think of this.
Open ControlsSorry giving armband to sturr
Open Controls
I just got home from work.
I am a little bored.
