With the international break affording us time to reflect on proceedings, we roll out the first in a series of three members articles. Starting with the defenders, we assess some of the standout contenders across the first three Gameweeks of the 2014/15 campaign.
Gonna lose value in Rooney and JT this week. Have to stomach it.
How's that ?
Yeah but they have good fixtures, I am fine to keep them for this gameweek at least
Spain XI vs France: De Gea; Carvajal, Ramos, San Jose, Azpilicueta; Busquets, Koke; Raul Garcia, Fabregas, Cazorla; Diego Costa.
France XI: Lloris (c), Debuchy, Varane, Sakho, Evra, Pogba, Matuidi, Sissoko, Valbuena, Griezmann, Benzema

Krul/foster
jones/cahill/ferdinand/dummett/bruce
ramsey/fabregas/tadic/mata/shelvey
rooney/costa/naismith

(repost)
2.9 in the bank folks with one free transfer, what to do with this team?
Krul Foster
Jones Clyne Naylor Rio Wisdom
Fabregas Siggy Ramsey Sterling Marney
Rooney Sturridge Naismith
considering Rio to Ivanovic with the cash I have ITB, or perhaps upgrade Rooney to Aguero? cheers for any thoughts
rio to ivan looks good
I'll second that.
Nice team. I'd keep an ear to the ground on Rooney news and probs go Rooney -> Costa
Team for this GW (-4). Good 2 go?
Krul
Terry, Moreno, Clyne
Ramsey, Fabregas, Sterling, Siggy
Costa, Rooney, Pelle
Gilks, Marney, Wisdom, DummetLooks very good
Cheers, how about your team? On a WC or not?
Nah saving WC for sure. 2 FT's, haven't decided yet what to do. Young is out for sure, will see if I just replace him with Zaha or use both my FT's to upgrade him. Want Sterling but that won't be easy
Yeah i wanna save it for as late as possible too.
Sterling is good value and in form atm, I think he is really worth it.
Is Welbeck a viable option?
apparently.
Not yet with Arsenal fixtures, wait and see
+1
Wait and see but I think he'll be excellent value
Can't wait for Destiny to come out! 😀
Can't wait for FIFA 15 to come out!
Hope it lives up to the hype
I really think it will

i hated the beta. the stupid gun that had a miserable aim annoyed me. Poor mans Halo. NHL 15 and FIFA 15 on the other hand 😀
Yeah, can't wait for FUT again 🙂
I am sad to leave my FIFA 14 UT behind. Spent a fortune on it.
Can't buy coins in fifa 15 apparently
there is a 3 strike system in place for buying coins. there is a one strike system for selling coins.
Hopefully they can stop the cheating and it will reduce prices of players and make the servers run better
Right my team from last night seems perfect, for now.
Go on then. Gizza clue?

How am I looking chaps? I'm tempted to keep Jovetic in my team as I think even off the bench he could do some real damage against Arsenal...
DDG
Terry, Coloccini, van Aanholt
Sterling, Siggy, Ramsey, Fabregas
Rooney, Costa(c), Jovetic
1FT and 0.3ITB. Any other pressing transfers?apart from gooney, it looks noice
Cheers
Get rid of Jovetic, he is not sure to start. Get Pelle, Welbeck or Naismith for example
Rest is goodThat's a temptation but are any of those three an obvious upgrade? Naismith could be a rotation risk with Everton cluttered fixture list, Pelle hasn't exactly done anything although could potential be good value if he finds his shooting boots and Welbeck could flop... I'm unsure... Thanks for the suggestion 🙂
Personally I have done Dzeko to Pelle. Saints have great fixtures and I wanted attacking coverage from them. Pelle played well against West Ham and that should boost his confidence. It is clearly a punt and I hope it will pay off against Newcastle.
It is too early to get Welbeck I agree. The problem with Naismith is that his ownership is rising so I hope his heroics will stop otherwise it will hurt.I tend to agree with all of that 🙂
Hope that helps you to make a decision 🙂
I'd do Rooney to Balotelli but you could save the transfer.
That's been in the back of my mind... I'm convinced Balo will score against Villa! But I also know Rooney all to well, whenever his ability is called into question he rescues his career with a 30 yard volley, overhead kick or a goal from the halfway line!
What does this WC team look like?
Krul, Manonne
Terry, Clyne, Amat, Moore, Duff
Ramsey, Fabregas, Sterling, Siggurdson (King)
Aguero, Welbeck, CostaTerry's price is falling, get rid for someone like Moreno or ShawX.
Too early to get Welbeck, that is just my opinionIs chelsea defence no longer necessary?
Their upcoming fixtures are not so good, they will play City, Arsenal, United... with only two easy games against Villa and Palace.
I have Terry and I will sell him before GW5.
What do you guys think of my wc team. Not sure who to play so many options 😀
Bego
Clyne, Moreno, Blackett, Dier, Wisdom
Sterling, Siggy, Di Maria, Fabregas, Boyd
Falcao, Welbeck, Costa
Will Blackett be starting now? United May go 433 and Rojo has his permit
True, im not to sure about this
Blackett to Wilson/Robertson
Welbeck to NaismithNeed Arsenal cover
No you don't.
For next gw
Worth a WC?
Krul (Elliot)
Baines, Moreno, Evans (Wisdom/duff, Bartley)
Cesc, Ramsey, Sig, Sterling (Marney)
Falcao, Costa, Welbeck
or stick with
Foster (Myhill)
Jones, PvA, Coloccini (Wisdom, Moore)
Haz, Cesc, Mata, Sig, Ramsey
Falcao, Costa (BZ)stick dagnammit
I'm warming to the more balanced WC option -Liverpool, everton, manu fixtures all good
You should stick imo.
Stick and WC after gw 7. Next international break. You have solid team till then
I'd stick.What do you gain from the WC? Sterling who you could just transfer in and Danny bloody Welbeck!
He's better than giroud.
TY fellas. Guess I'm gonna play it safe for the moment.
Is sterling going to rise tonight?
And is mata going to fall?I doubt sterling will rise. No idea really though.
Fack knows
maybe
Friend of mine going to the cricket tomorrow! #ProudYorkshiremen
Alderweireld, Moreno or Janmaat? All great options, but so hard to choose...
Alderweireld because Saints fixtures are beautiful.
Alderwireld over Clyne? How come?
He is 5.0 but get Clyne of you have the cash
How much is he, 5?
Yes, good value
Thoughts on this team please?
Krul Eliot
Caulker Clyne Moore PVA Hutton
Fabregas Ramsey Mata Lamela Sigurdsson
Rooney Costa Naismith
1.9m in the bank.
Caulker seems to be the obvious weakness, but I think I'll keep for another week.
Odds of Mata starting?
Thanks.Caulker is going to score. 🙂
good side no worriesCheers mate!
Rojo or P. Jones?
Jones
Anyone think Balotelli is worth a shot instead of Sturridge? That £1.5m could prove really useful
Depends on how you use that £1.5m
Absolutely.
Surely tempting but I think Balotelli will be subbed off early in the next few games, he hasn't had a full game with LFC yet.
Lads, any idea when the likes of Sterling, Diego Costa, Rooney & Mata's prices are due to change?
could you mail me? don't have your address, will give you the links for the members, the spreadhseet's driving me nuts
Yeah, i've been trying to add ID's but the hyperlink won't show up. Strange.
must be something to do with all links (bar the last one) being removed prior to adding the names?
how about removing all the names, adding the links again and then adding the names?i have all the IDs btw, just let me know which one's you don't
almost impossible to say......... i dont even know where fiso n fpl are gettin their data
I want to know this too.
Ctc seem to suggest mata is near falling priceNot an idea, we should get used to that though.
Game of Throwins 🙂
My favourite name this yearTy 🙂
haha!
Best striker for 5.5M? Liking the look of Ulloa
Seems like he could be a decent punt.
him or naismith
Fletch - he'll come good very soon. Very consistent on fpl.
@Lawro
I know you love a cr@p bandwagon, but if you're gonna start one there's 2 key memebers of team Malaysia around. Catch my drift? 😉Noted 😉
Fecking Aussies.
It's all fair dinkum mate
any good with picture editing?
Well.. kinda.. What picture do you want?
Stick with:
Krul
Jones Terry Naylor
Siggy Fabregas Ramsey Sterling
Rooney Dzeko Costa
Or WC to:
Krul
Jones, 6.0, 4.5 (Not sure who yet)
Siggy, Fabregas, Sterling, Di Maria
Costa, Aguero, Welbeck
Stick till you know how LvG plans on setting up.
And how Welbeck fits in. May take time to gel with the others
That's the ideal scenario but I want to avoid players dropping/rising in price so that I won't be able to afford it anymore. Will probably stick for the coming GW though.
True but you could wildcard a couple weeks from now if you still think its necessary and downgrade your 6.0 defender to a 5.5 if you need the money (still loads of good options at that price - Lovren / Moreno / ShawX) .
Stick
hmmm shall i wildcard now just incase of price rises or wait till after euro qualifiers commence to see whether any players will pick up injuries
Doubt there will be any double risers now, missed the boat on that one, so wait.
And consider not wildcarding for a further week
Anyone know of a good table on upcoming defensive fixtures?
Krul
Duff - Moore - McShane
Sterling - Ramsey - Di Maria - Siggy
Costa - Aguero - Falcao
(Hamer - King - Wisdom - Hutton)
Stupid or brilliant? Can't decide
Not McShane he won't stay around for long.
Thought about something like this, but I know i'd end up hating it. One/two/three of costa, aguero or falcao will almost certainly go down with an injury within the month and then it'll take some sorting.
Who are the must have defenders excluding Ivanovic?
at least a couple nailed on 4.5s imo
The article lists the best ones
Best midfielder under 5.8?
Ben Arfa or Zaha.
I was looking at barfa but not sure on his game time yet.
Moses a decent shout?
Dyer
Moses Zaha JWP Schneiderlin
Zaha game time? Same with Barfa?
I reckon he'll play quite a bit, they need him to anyway.
You talking bout zaha?
Zaha?
Will Robertson still be in the starting 11, following Hull's transfers?
Yh they didn't sign a new lb apart from him this window.
