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.
What is the general opinion on Adam Johnson?
General Melchet thinks he's a damned fool rapscallion.
Woy! You fancy some Hockey world cup action? http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/09/01/ffs-hockey-world-cup-2014-pilot/
Quick to act I see. I like it 🙂
Essential.
That face in combination with that hat 😆
Great potential, but inconsistent. Worth monitoring.
who?
Too inconsistent, frustrating to own
Cheers peeps. Considered him as an option in my draft mini-league. Seems to create a lot of chances and score big some weeks but those strikers can't hit a barn door.
1-0 Italy. Immobile scores.
For Dortmund he has looked pretty dire.
Taking his time to settle certainly but let us not forget that Lewa was a benchwarmer for a good while. Hopefully Klopp brings out the best in him.
Which mid price striker do people expect to come good? Pelle? Jovetic? Adebayor?
I'm holding Naismith until one of them makes a convincing case for themselves.all will be decent but inconsistent options I think.
same here, will keep Naismith until I see something from Ade or Dat Guy
Welbeck. But keeping away until gw8 / I see him gel with the others
Welbeck 🙂
Pelle is definitely getting the chances.. Just his finishing has been poor but he is settling in. I would keep Naismith for now or get are in.
I was going to ask you what the deal is with Pelle.
Southampton fixtures look pretty juicy.
Pelle, I just got him in haha
Welbeck
I've been doing a little bit of research into who I should replace Jovetic with and after sifting through all of the relevant stats I can't look past that man Andreas Weimann, two goals one assist already this season playing as the main man in the rejuvenated Aston Villa squad. He seems to me like a big game player who transcends the fixture list but even when you take his fixtures into account he's got the defensively frail Liverpool in his next game!
Liverpool are all too susceptible to Aston Villa's pacey counter-attacks as I know all too well, I predict a Weimann brace next week... All that being said he's available at a cushy 5.5M!
At over 7pts per game so far this season look no further than Weimann for your FPL squad chaps!Rotation headache. Would you play him every week?
Yes, Aston Villa can surprise anyone.
you think Aston Villa will keep this up after the run of terrible fixtures?
Good luck with him, I'm never happy with a cheap forward for some reason. Probably stupidity being the main one.
^This
Weimann is sneaking under everyone's radar!
Do you know something the rest of us don't!?
Liverpoolay be susceptible to pacey counter attacks but will they work against ARS, che, MCI, eve?
All these endless riddle question are a result of the broken price system imo.
If we knew who was going to rise and fall tonight there would be decent discussions and dilemas about keeping, transfering in or selling.
Instead we have to hear about how man fish can fit in a box
Sure i will get a better response when back on the deadzone, thats where it will be missed most as thats when the proce changes occur
Don't really need to know who's rising when and where tbh. Just get in at the start of the week the likely lads and wait for it too happen. I'm personally waiting on dier, dyer,Ivan and weimann to rise and Rooney to fall before bringing back at a discount. Have also avoided potential drops for the likes of mata, caulker, hazard and Cahill.
You might not but many do
Yeah I realise people who played wildcard later will have more of a need for the price change sites as every bit of info will be priceless then. For me it's a mild inconvenience cos it keeps me in the dark. Was just trying to say it defo hasn't ruined my strategy.
done the same Randy, dropped those who I think will lose value, a la Rooney and Mata and brought in everyone I hope will double rise over the break. may bring Rooney back at a cheaper price as you mentioned
No, its just you
Mad to have three Liverpool players (Lovern, Sterling, Sturridge) and three Chelsea players (Courtois, Fabregas, Costa)?
I don't think so.
Not for next week it isn't, should pay off handsomely I would think
I have debuchy, caulker and Clyne in the back. Thinking about snitching Debuchy to lovern
Just finished Deadwood, highly recommend it if you missed it.
one of my favorites
so so good
Huzzah!!!!!
Alexis
Hi Sunny. Ellipsis should be here soon, the Argies are taking over
Hey Spectrum. Can't wait to see Argies ruling all over
🙂 the start of things to come
Your right Vamos must brush up on my Argentinian.
here, here! 🙂
Alexis. Better finisher.
Walcott is pretty clinical...
Wally, possibly my favourite player in the league.
easy this (outside of Chelsea)
Walcott
Haven't seen enough of Alexis to say.
Walcott
Walcott fpl and pl, scores, assists and proven in the prem league!

Jamie Carragher trolled by a little kid
Jammiee jamiiee 😉
bit weird how he strokes the kids face
2-0 Italy from a penalty and red card. Pfftt, get LvG back there.
Wow.
Come on Italy
If you're reading, lads.
Krul - (Eliott)
Terry - Clyne - (Robertson/PvA/Moore)
Rambo - Sterling - Siggy - (Powell/Marney)
Aguero - Falcao - Costa
0.2 ITB
Hows this lot look?Missing a defender starting 😉 looks good
You have to get a better 4th mid. Downgrade Terry if you want to keep that front 3.
Just reading through a few posts to catch up after my trip to The Pleasure Beach today. Ditching Ramsey seems to be a fairly common idea with the didficult fixtures coming up. Probably worth pointing out that Wally should be back sooner rather than later, so the worst case scenario would be Wally in when the fixtures ease should Ramsey's price continue to rise ....or get Ramsey himself back if his price remains stable. Not a problem either way as far as I can see.
He can score against anybody...Just putting the option out there for those wanting to take the risk.
😯
Well I want Sterling in so I have basic choice to lose one of Mata, Ramsey or Hazard
I think of the 3 Mata is the most expendable, and the least nailedfor sure
Definitely...I can see him becoming a bit surplus now...
tbf with Theo back I might lose Rambo anyway
Theo is FPL goldWe really want you on board wakey! email me lymski@yahoo.co.uk Gaucho wasabi has given me the task of getting your signature whilst he's away 😉
Joan Rivers has died
Ahh
Cry me a river
what you think is humorous wordplay is merely a glimpse inside a broken soul. but also not humorous
I agree sorry couldn't resist
Zaza does his best Joe allen impression to get indi sent off
Foster Krul
PVA, Jones, Chester, Colo, Wisdom
Ramsey, Fabregas, Sterling, Siggy, Zaha
Costa, Rooney, Naismith
3.9 ITB. 0FTs. With Naismith's upturn in fixtures, I'd like to play him in a 3-4-3 so did Mata -> Zaha with my free transfer.
My question is, is there any move that is worth the hit, in order to reinvest the cash? Or, as I'm currently leaning towards, is it worth holding on to see what mid-priced strikers hit form/Aguero.Strong side that Lucy so unless you want to take the plunge on Falcao I'd leave it as it is.
Yeah it's weird feeling ok about the team with so much in the bank!
Waiting on Falcao/Balotelli for now.
I also have 3.9 in the bank and love my team.. very strange at this stage in the season.
I don't think you need a hit at all this week.Thanks!
What move gave you so much spare? 😀
Random Q.. What factors would you consider when predicting the result of a match? Team news, form, rest period, motivation, team comparison.. others?
mood
weather
teams prev resultflicking through stats, history etc on Soccerway.
Checking the thought of other punters on OLBG
Try come up with my own deluded view of how its going to turn out based on all this and hope for the bestFrom a betting perspective team news is huge. Form is fleeting and only recognised properly in hindsight. Stats like Spurs losing 6 saturday matches after midweek european matches last season also helps a lot.
Will Rooney or Terry drop over the coming days?
probably
Mertens with the luckiest goal of his career.
I'm in need of an fpl fix, feeling lost already with no premier league this weekend
I'm itching to make transfers! Stop me!
Can non members of a FPL league read comment's on the leagues forum? 😕
I just tried and could so I guess not.
couldn't*
😀Ok, cheers
Eh? 😆
Currently playing a 3-4-3 formation but got this defence, and wondering who to play?
Terry (SWA), Caulker (MUN), Chambers (MCI), Moore (STK), Wisdom (EVE)
I have 1FT and 0.5mil in the bank, any possible transfer suggestions?
Cheers! 🙂
Wisdom still struggling to rise
what a mess this year with price rises
Question:
Who the hell is Zaza?italian Joe Allen
Below is my WC Team. I could do Lamela to Eriksen and have enough to go Ramsey to Fabs, good move?
Krul - Elliot
Colo - Taylor - Wilson - Wisdom - Duff
Ramsey - Siggy - Sterling - Lamela - Zaha
Sturridge - Costa - Falcao
I have a simple yet annoying conundrum.
Mata & Rooney out for:
A) Sterling and Aguero
B) Fab and Sturridge
Thoughts?Agreed
A
A
Eh
I'd go Sterling and Sturridge 😉
Wow that was a lot more straight forward than I thought!
I figure Fab will keep chipping in with assists all season and Sterling will be rotated since he still is only 19 that and Man City's God Awful fixtures made me hesitate.
A) It is in a landslide victory
Cheers for the replies
Play Caulker (mnu) possibly up against my captain or Moore (STK)
other option is Naylor so I think I can rule him outMoore is away, not at home, sorry
I'd play Caulker.
Caulker. He'll score this time for sure
Caulker probably gonna score this week.. just cause most of us gonna be benching him.
de gea - givens
jagielka - azpilicueta - moreno - m. duff - dummett
hazard - siggy - gtf - sterling - ramsey
weimann - rooney - diego costa??need help with my squad
who's Dat Guy?
Danny 'Dat Guy' Welbeck
Any NFL fans out there? I noticed Katie is sporting the New England badge.
I've asked to play NFL fantasy football and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on which players to grab.
Cheersmatt forte
Marshawn Lynch
Payton Manning
Any wide receivers on the BroncosThey are referred to as logos not badges over here in these parts 🙂
I'm doing it aswell....
Peyton Manning will be the top points scorer but no doubt he will go first round of draft.
Adrian Peterson if you have first pick
Doug Martin will have big things this year
Demarious Thomas Strong wide reciever for broncos
Calvin Johnson is a beast
Seattle Defence
Too many to name reallyCheers for all the advice! I'll be on the look out.
Zaha + Falcao
or
Di Maria + WelbeckA but it's guesswork at the mo
I'd go A but I think it's quite early to judge.
yeh, im on a wildcard and cant decide
