As always, our first members article of the week delves into the data from the previous batch of fixtures. This time around, the displays of Chelsea’s wide men, Liverpool’s lone forward, Southampton’s new playmaker and the Hammers’ attacking improvement all come under analysis.
Would you start Chambers or Wisdom?
cheers
wow your nick...
do u know the song?
of course
Chambers but have to wait on presser to see if he is likely to start or not. Either way I see 0 or 90.
Start chambers, and get wisdom off the bench if he doesn't play. Unlikely to get a cameo appearance.
Krul - Myhill
Blackett - Dier - Clyne - Hutton - Dummett
Fabragas - Yaya - Sigurdsson - Ramsey - Larsson
Aguero - Rooney - Naismith
0.3m left, wildcard played.
Keen to jump off the Naismith wagon but hes so cheap I feel im stuck with him.
Also not sure with Aguero, Rooney, Costa, and Ballo. 2 of them 4 is proving a difficult choice.
Anyone else got any tips for a midfeilder around Larssons price range or is he a good choice?
Downgrade Yaya and Larson.
Is this your post wildcard team ?
I played wildcard this week, so can still make changes
Not fond of Blackett Dier Yaya or Larsson personally.
Balotelli is not going to have a normal debut. He will either score or get sent off or something else will happen no-one is expecting. Its just not going to be "normal".
For £10m I dont want to watch from behind a sofa.
think we might see the first ever naked crowd dive/surf
10 is well over anyway!
if studge is worth 11.5 playing in the middle, wouldn't you say balotelli is worth 10 if he takes over the central position?
Krul
Rio, Hutton, Chambers (O'Shea, Chester)
Mata, Fabregas, Ramsey, Young (Albrighton)
Rooney, Costa, Sturridge
2 FT, 0 in the bank.
What would you do? Obviously want to get rid of Young (for Siggy) but not sure who to get rid of out of Mata, Cesc and Costa (for Lamela/Eriksen/Adebayor). Any advice would be appreciated.
Way too much invested in your attack, leaves your defence like that.
Happy with the defence for the time being. Got a transfer penciled in for GW4.
Young & Sturridge > Siggy & Ade? Does that work?
It does but I want Sturridge GW4 onwards I think. Chelsea have the worse fixtures whereas United have good fixtures and poor form (hence Mata vs Cesc/Costa).
I would suggest looking at either a Chambers or Rio replacement
That's the GW4 plan as they have alright fixtures this week.
One of Costa or Sturridge to Adebayor then Young to Siggy imo
Mata
Find a way to get Sturridge > Aguero soon
Cheers all.
Cesc to lamela/erik for me.
So Jovetic and Mata saved my week so glad I didn't take hits! Shame Chester forced my hand for this was wanting rid of caulker!
Should've just benched him for the week.
Captain Rooney (bur) or Ramsey (lei)?
Rooney
rooney is safer....ramsey for the flair 😀
I thinking flair. How is Ramsey away from home?
no idea but i am going with Rooney (for now)
Any City player ?
Dzeko? Unless he becomes Jovetic....
Of those, probably Rooney.
Any alternatives like a City attacker or Siggy?Have Siggy....but West Brom def looks okay....
I'd still fancy Swans to bag and him to be involved.
Dzeko (Jovetic) should work.
Rooneh
I'm going Rooney!
I'm thinking Rambo atm, wouldn't risk captaining any United player with their current form
I'm on Ramsey at the moment
Rooney
Just a small comment tip for anyone who hasn't picked up yet -
Since FPL have changed many things for Price Changes over past couple of seasons, it has now simply a case of avoiding drops. It is literally impossible to chase a rise. Let me explain, when it rises you only get 50% profit back when transferring. Basically, this means unless the price rises by 0.2, it makes no difference when transferring out. A 0.1 rise alone is USELESS. Yet, when it drops by 0.1 you make an instant LOSS. The consequence of this? Basically you have to avoid every drop you can, especially since this year, it's been noticed that second and third rises thresholds have been doubled and tripled respectively. You won't make much chasing rises if 5 of your players drop, it's all about avoiding.
Unfortunately, FPL have also seemingly cracked down on FPL Price checking (or so we believe) and if the price checking websites stop functioning completely (they're already experiencing problems) we'll have to act pre-emptively in transfers. In conclusion, in the transfer arena the strategy is avoiding losses, no longer can you really afford to take price hits over points hits, it just doesn't work. Sure sometimes they'll recover but if they don't chances are you'll have you budget cut for the rest of the season.
At the end of the day though, the performers won't drop, it's just a case of finding them.
What's your thoughts? Is this a correct analysis? How would you tackle it?Avoid Losses.
Going for shit will read it over while doing it 😉 😛
Hulkeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddd juhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 😛
Ok who was it, well done, trying to do a "Rohn". Thank you contributor who was behind this. I am gonna guess TM 😛 ?
P.S. No longer will try to post quality FPL analyses this the way to be Hulked. Get in !!!
This. Too long, make it into key points if you're doing this next time Cellino.
I've held onto Mata and Jovetic.
Where I've gotten the points, I'm 0.2 short now on value. Quite annoying, but ultimately I want to hold onto them for as long as possible so their selling value isn't a prime issue for me. However if through injury I want to get rid of them.... 😕Exactly what i'm worried about.
Ignore it completely and get the players I deem necessary within the budget I have.
Good comment, I agree you should go 'money grabbing' this season
More of a point oriented season which is better for the game 🙂I guess, and it's one of the positives of the changes!
I just pick players I think will score points. The players who score points will rise in value anyway. I won't transfer someone out just because their price is falling. I kept Jovetic and Mata, and they both got double digit hauls. Just concentrate on building a good team and the price rises should take care of themselves imo.
Agree on that, but a couple of poor performances can cause knee jerks from many, and drop in value. You keep faith, he's injured, know you have say 7.8/8 left to get a replacement, this is what i'm worried about.
Its like I said earlier free transfers are going to become a case of only being able to afford transferring players in who are considerably less in value which basically means no transfers at all unless you have injuries
This.
Is FPL transfers page (for round) a decent guide?
I guess, kind of, thing is we aren't exactly sure how they calculate threshold and such.
Spurs and Liverpool is going to be interesting.
Spurs off to a flyer with no real flaws at the moment, have a great attack and defence. Liverpool coming from a 3-1 defeat looking for a response. Probably the hardest result to predict in a long timeSpurs to win for me.
Spurs were just lucky against West Ham, thrn they played QPR. They will get schooled by Pool.
No Bias at all from the Arsenal Fan...
Spurs conceded the same amount of shots against them v West Ham as they managed against QPR. (18) Then there is actually watching the game, rather than just looking at the result and drawing conclusions.
will be a spectacular match
but spurs will grab the win imo, eriksen and lamela will hurt that pool defense a lot
Goals galore.. probably a BTTS with one of Sturridge/Balotelli/Adebayor AGS would be my bet 🙂
Will Dzeko drop tonight? So will Adebayor rise?
Dzeko should be far from dropping. Lots of transfers in last week cancelling out those removing him this week. Probably will fall by the end of the week, maybe Sat evening. Adebayor will definitely rise but not tonight
Hope you're right. It'd give me at least one more day to think about the swap 😉
I'm not selling caulker this week. Proved that weekend there with mata that a little patience can go a long way in this game.
Dzeko--->Jovetic for free?
yes
Would really appreciate advice at this stage!
Foster - Krul
Terry - Caulker - Clyne - Chester - Hutton
Mata - Eriksen - Rambo - Siggy - Marney
Rooney - Diego Costa - Dzeko
Which one of these would you do:
A) Dzeko > Jove/Ade
B) A + Caulker > Colo
C) Terry > Dummett, Eriksen > De Jong, Dzeko > Aguero (C)A
Jovetic or Ade?
leaning towards Ade myself
a) PJones, Hazard, Mata, Costa
or
b) Rose, Fabregas, Sterling, AgueroB probably, but I am not sure about Rose
Plan was to downgrade Sturridge to Ade/Jovetice to free up funds to upgrade Davis to Sterling. The option of downgrading to Balotelli instead and upgrading Davis to another mid is far more enticing! gotta calm down my inner punt monster
He's got to start after the loss last week too 🙂 .. new players added to fpl cant rise for 10 days right? bit rusty with price protection
already brought in by nearly 4000 people 😯
Sterling looks great, the one player I feel want soonest, especially from GW4
i may double up with Balo and Sterling come GW 4 🙂
Ballsy.
I'll get Balo when he grows up... i.e never.
Off pens, overpriced and probably playing wider than Sturridge.maybe i should just get Sterling and Jovey in this week and then swap to Balo after a few weeks 🙂
rush of blood to the head and all that 🙂 .. im more excited about watchin De Jong's debut tonight than anything else tbh
Krul- Foster
Debuchy-Jones-PVA-Ferdinand-4.0
Cout-Mata-Haz-Lamela-Siggy
Roo-Jove-Pelle
0.0 in the bank and 2 ft what shoukd i do?
wanna get out pelle cout ferd but dont want a hit. Any tips please
Ramsey, costa
way over the funds i have
Bego / Gilks
Debuchy / Clyne / Chester / Wisdom / Moore
Hazard / Mata / Ramsey / Sterling / Marney
Rooney / Costa / Fletcher
what to do with 2 FREE TRANSFER?ITB?
possibly get rid of Bego?
Want siggy... But for whome?
Should I ditch Sterling for Siggy ?
and upgrade Moore to Clichy?Avoid Clichy.
How would you change this team? Not got any FTs left for this GW but not really sure what my next move should be over the international break. Cheers for any feedback.
Krul (Foster)
Debuchy // Evans // Taylor (Hutton, Kelly)
Ramsey // Mata // Siggurdsson // Larsson (Hoilett)
Sturridge // Costa // Rooney
(NB: Planning to get rid of Hoilett, but not sure who to switch him to.)Larsson, Hoillett and Evans I would ditch
Thanks for the reply - Hoillett I'm planning to get rid of, but I feel I can argue a case for the other two.
Evan appears to be LVG's favoured CB, ahead of Jones and Smalling in the pecking order whilst also cheaper. Man U also play the 3 promoted teams in their next 3 fixtures. A punt, but with 0.4% ownership a differential that could pay off.
As for Larsson, it was a toss up between him and Ince, but potential Europa rotation and a lack of returns at Palace last season made Ince the weaker prospect to me. Sunderland also have some great upcoming fixtures, and he's registered attacking points in GW1 and GW2.
looks fine, just hoilett, basically anyone who plays and is remotely attacking
Thinking Albrighton myself.
I'm hoping Di Maria starts vs Burnley. He's an established star, I can't expect the work permit takes very long to sort out..
I think he has Italian citizenship
Surely not. We need him and Rojo STAT.
as do I! Yaya is dropping! 😐
I'm excited, sign a CM and another CB and we're going to look pretty damn good, next summer should be tasty as well
We don't need another CB. Two CM needed. One box to box and one holding option.
I think we do. Evans is always injured, Jones is too reckless and Smalling is too shit.
Krul
Naylor, chambers, wisdom, dummet, bruce(hull)
Fabregas, ramsey, sigurdsson, mata
dzeko, rooney, costa
3,5itb was saving for aguero but not gonne happen yet. halp with 1ft
Stupidly i did not get rid of Giroud last night. Worth a hit to get rid of him or wait to next week? Who should i get instead if i get rid? 0.4 in the bank. Go for naismith? Adebayor?
Ade.
Ade
What's the deal with Davies from Spurs and why isn't he playing?
Because Pochettino is playing Rose as a LB
Rose is better.
Does any else find it REALLY spooky that Bojan & Boselli both start with the same two letters?
It was a subliminal warning sign from the fantasy Gods and I'm totally kicking myself for missing it.
😯Bojan's record in Serie A should've been warning enough.
and if you take their second parts of the name in the order Boselli and Bojan.. it's in the order
Sell i before Jan 😯WOW!
Is Clichy nailed on?
As much as Kolorov is.
Kolarov will start vs Stoke though! 😉
come on be honest, a lot of you were selling or thinking of selling jovetic last week........
whats changed minds, goals aside, does it look like hes more likely to get an extended run?
You can't really take a player out of the starting XI after a performance like that.
dzeko for the chop then
He'll still be leaving my team, just a week later than anticipated - GW4 rather than GW3.
Top talent. Always been about waiting for him to find his feet.
i agree, but he needs playing time afforded to him to do that
Which he'll no doubt get considering his form and all the question marks surrounding City's other strikers. 😀
Dzeko injured, Aguero eased in, home against Stoke. And Giroud has to go.
Dzeko is NOT injured.
This from Pellegrini:
At the moment, it is difficult to say who is the best striking partner for him because Alvaro Negredo is injured and Kun Aguero is not yet 100% but he can play with anyone.Clearly suggesting that Jove is nailed on and Dzeko is behind him in the pecking order
What's the reasoning behind you only getting a 50% of price increases? Seems annoying and unnecessary. Aka jovetic drops to 7.9, likely will rise back up to 8 but that's worthless to me as I've basically lost 0.1m.
It only starts from what you bought him for in the first place, so you won't lose anything in that case.
Ahh that's a relief. Thanks
How so?
You will get the 8 back when he rises to 8
Thats the way it is....
Fabregas, Dier and Siggy are the only players who've risen by more than 0.1 while most are literally dropping like flies so this whole chasing value stuffs a load of crap we're all actually going to lose value either way
No you haven't.
2 FTs
Sturridge -> Jovetic
Young -> Sterling
Yay or Nay?Not sure about Jov long term, but can't argue with Young out for Sterling.
yay
seems the move of the week tbh.. though if DeJong looks tonight maybe a VERY VERY punty Balotelli and DeJong in instead 😉 .. probably the worst advice you'll get all night 🙂
Haha I'd wait on Balotelli. The guys a nutter!
Consider getting Dzeko. Yay or nay?
No.
% chance of starting vs Stoke
A. Aguero
B. Dzeko
C. Jovetic
A 0%
B 99%
C 100%A. 30%
B. 70%
C. 80%
Dummett, is he expected to be around long in that FB spot until Santon returns in late October (ish) or is someone waiting in the wings?
At 4m I don't need him to be absolutely nailed on, lord knows in my defense of 4m players for the most part, he will be in good company 😀
Looking to boot Ferdinand this week, despite his good fixture, i'm not sticking around on the QPR wagon.His to lose for now.
If he starts to bomb, think Haidara can step in.Would get rid of Ferdinand.. i have Caulker and considerin him as my 8th attacker atm and keeping him 🙂 ... Haidara is arguably the better player but Pardew likes em average so he's gone with Dummett for the moment. should be ok for a bit until he has a run of bad games. though he's starting position is in his own hands at the moment. worth the risk
RMT 1-10 please;
Krul - Mannone
Cahill - Kompany - N Taylor - Hutton - Wisdom
Sterling - Sigurdsson - Fabregas - Ramsey - King
Aguero - Naismith - Diego Costa
£600k in the bank.
Looks like I'm going to be activating my wildcard.
Any advice would be much appreciated.Can't tell if trolling?
What does that even mean?
Don't activate your wildcard.
Why not?
This would be my team after activating my wildcard.......
