With Gameweek 1 concluded, itโs time to delve a little deeper into the data in our first “Big Numbers” article for members of the campaign. We analyse the display of Arsenalโs new wide man against Palace, the QPR front pairing at home to Hull, Liverpoolโs ever-improving youngster, Southamptonโs delivery under Ronald Koeman and Unitedโs weekend scorer in the 2-1 home loss to Swansea.
Current backline: DDG Terry Luis PvA Coloccini Wisdom
a) Luis -> Azpi
b) Luis -> Clyne
c) Take 4pt hit
DDG & Luis -> Cortois & Clyne + 0.5Open Controls
B is not so bad but Luis will play so I'd stick.

Any reason bot to just save the free transfer? With no decent replacements for Jove for 8mOpen Controls
Im riding with Jove until some sort of CLEAR replacement pops up. Hoping Remy or Pelle start banging the goals in.

What is quizup. Bored at work and like quizzes maybe this is for me?
Open ControlsBest app ever.

Yep. Number one in South Korea on the Simpsons ๐
Open Controls
No way.

Utd still have great fixtures.
After this week Chelsea have some tough games. They don't look like they'll be interested in putting teams to the sword rather than just tika-takka'ing them to death, so I'm not sure Fabs will outscore Mata over the next 4-5 weeks.Open Controls

Open ControlsWhat's peoples thoughts on Burnley's chances this weekend?
Open ControlsSo many 's in a post ๐
No goal for Burnley this weekOpen Controls
Would you think it would be an improvement if you could have a larger rise than 0.1 per night? Or for the next day it to start at the percentage over 100% a player was left at?
Open Controls
No it would be more like the Yahoo game which is ridiculous
Open Controls
I feel sorry for David Moyes. He is a bloody good manager but he was set up to fail from the start. It is the players who are trash, not the manager or the backroom staff (well, the backroom staff may be as well, but not Moyes). I believe this is why Fergie got out when he did - he knew it was the end of the road for this mediocre squad and he saw this disarray coming.
When you look at this Man Utd squad, only 3 or 4 (max) of their players would get into any of the top 4 sides.Open Controls
Was just thinking De Gea is pretty rubbish also. Very overrated and weedy.
Open Controls
Moyes made mistakes but your entirely correct. There was a coup against him, I am convinced. A lot of the players I expected more from. Fergie is complicit, he allowed these attitudes to develop in later years whereas before he would have never stood for it.
Open Controls
i'll bet that Fergie decided to retire the day that United got pumped by Barca at Wembley in the CL. it was written all over his face, he knew it was the end of an era.
Open Controls
Ok, before the price rises.
Mata > Fab, Yay or Nay?
Cheers ๐Open Controls
schurrle as a option for a couple weeks with chelsea's fixtures any good?
Open Controls
not nailed on so nay
Open Controlsi put him in from the start, so far so good, but like you say its not without its risk
Open Controls
Would I be foolish to turn down getting Siggy for at least a couple more weeks? Current MID/FOR is Ramsey Mata Sterling Hazard Marney Rooney Diego Costa Bojan
Open Controls
Night Night, I'm off to bed before I hit accept on Ramsey to Fabregas.
Open ControlsAnyone got a Z2?
Open Controls
if schurrle was nailed on i'd get him in a second he seems to always score when he come on

Asked earlier today but a new crowd...Quite a few lol's at people wildcarding in GW1..but..I remember last season and those same lol'ers saving their WC's for DGW's...It was a disaster for most. Playing in GW1 is a good a time as any if it is to try and get a good early start...Which of the late WC'ers last season can say it was worth saving ?..not many...
Open ControlsI dint save it but I regretted alot
Open ControlsI wish I had saved it last season.
My new approach is to keep it until I'm genuinely unhappy with my team, whether that is early or later I dont mind.Open ControlsYeah..do that by all means..but that's not the same as saying that playing it in GW1 to try and get a good start is wrong...I well remember everybody taking Snodgrass and Lallana and co out for DGW players and then they outscored the "new" picks...Playing a WC can backfire in GW1just as much as DGW37..or be a success..
Open ControlsI agree with you, that's my punt really. If you feel you can improve your team a lot then hit the trigger, doesn't matter when you use it if it helps.
Open Controls
It's great using it GW2 with there is a DGW1 imo.
I find it's best to use it early. If you really don't like the balance and you are sure of what the optimum squad will be, then a GW2 WC is fine. You want to reach the optimum team as soon as possible to maximise your points. The trouble is that we have little to go on this early and it is likely you will be wrong.
I plan to WC GW8 when fixtures start to swing and my defensive rotation goes to shit. Hopefully Wally is back by then, I can also get Baines etc...Open Controls
I'm sorely tempted to hit the WC button I have to say... Not because I had a bad GW but all the players who looked likely to do well (that I swooped out at the last minute to play it safe) have done so and I honestly think each one of them has the class and history to do well throughout the season.
Don't think I've ever WC this early before but just feels like the right time to restructure for me to capitalise early...Open Controls
Can't believe that much people have Ron Vlaar and he's gonna rise soon too. Look at his fixtures in a couple of weeks lol. And please don't start about a possible transfer to Southampton etc. There are no excuses.
Open ControlsVlaar was a fantastic pick last season (as commented many times) against teams in the lower half..complete tosh against the upper half though. Once you knew that he was a reliable as any defender in the game...and very predictable...What more could you want for 4.5.
Open ControlsI'm happy with Hutton.
Open ControlsWas on my bench last week, will start this week.
Villa showed they are solid enough. He also may go to UnitedOpen Controls
anyone considering going Fab and Hazard and ditching Costa
general question not for this weekOpen Controls
Ditching Costa? Only if the person you ditch him for is a Kun

Dilemma, can't swap Mata for Fab as I've already 3 Chelsea and seems pointless swapping hazard for Fab
What say you??Open ControlsYe pointless, your team is fine.
Open ControlsCheers, so tempted by price rises and Mata's looking highly likely fall!
Open Controls
Play Bojan
Bench huttonOpen ControlsYeah relax for the week and save the FT imo
Open ControlsCheers, scared Fab will go nuts this weekend?!

Get rid of that joke Ashley Young though.Open ControlsSensible. Thanks

Nothing is worth a -8 hit, use a WC if you have to

Keep my transfer for the week, yes? Thinking it will come in handy as I try to figure out how to get Bojan to Aguero =POpen Controls
it's been six years and its always been the same GW 1.. the knee bloody wants to jerk. but same as every year.. once you take a step back and breathe u realise there are enough options to chase once the popular ones die down. its so easy to get dragged in.. wait 3+ weeks and then makes decisions in all il say
Open Controls
Mata to Fab is done. Feel terribly uneasy as I know I will want Mata back but Fabregas would require a hit with one rise.
Open ControlsLooking forward to some Mata returns this week, thank you very much for trading him out and ensuring he performs this week.....
Open ControlsI expect him to produce something, just hope Fab can outdo it.
Open Controls
If LvG sticks with a 352 it may be awhile before you want him back. If comes right back with the 4411 maybe sooner.
