Our next Members article looking at the idea of “value” sees Forwards come under the microscope. With a fresh revision of players last weekend in light of factors such as transfers and pre-season tactics, we’ve tweaked the Projected totals to give you an up-to-date reflection on our thinking. While many of our top ten value forwards are lower-priced options that perhaps may be more suited to rotation, the kind opening prices afforded to the likes of Luis Suarez and Peter Odemwingie propels a couple of FPL big-hitters firmly into our thoughts.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Contrary to belief, there is very little chance of Briggs playing left back behind Riise or left-mid in front of him. He played there once in a European game out of neccesity. Left-mid is not his position and he has Duff, Dempsey, Dembele to contend with there anyway.

      Hughes is the man to go for if you want a Fulham defender but don't want to pay the extra for Hangeland's goal threat. Briggs will make the bench at best for us this season.

          Yeah he is a real prospect. Some good young talent coming through, Ferguson, Vuckic, Krul and I've heard good things about Airey as well.

          Total farce of a club again, was feeling pretty optimistic a few weeks with the additions of Ba, Cabaye, Marveaux but its gone the inevitable path of chaos and fecking embarrassing cackhandery.

      I'm hoping to get him. I've got Albrighton at the mo, but need to downgrade Terry -> Luiz or Ivan to afford the Nzog upgrade. Hope to know more about Chelsea's first choice 11 after the Glasgow Rangers game on the 6th.

      Swap Perch out for a perch.
      Other than that you need a goalie.

        Evans is good when the ball is mostly played on the floor, hence why he was really good vs barca. He struggles against the big lumps upfront, and with crosses.

          i remember at the start of last season against fulham at craven cottage Zamara gave him the run a round. And Zamora aint even quick. I think evans is too flat footed and lacks confidence when he has the ball on the deck. I like smalling though

    Hey, folks!

    Forde (MWL)
    McEveley (Bar) Gerrard (Car) Moxey (CP) Harte(RDG)
    Nolan(WH) King(LEI) Elliott(BC) Coppinger(DON)
    Long(RDG) Nugent(LEI)

    Cheers

      You need some Leeds in there. Gradel or Howson in midfield.

      Maybe even Paynter since Becchio will be injured for a few weeks yet.

        thanks Scratch
        you reckon King to Grandel would be enough or is it better to keep King and upgrade Coppinger or Elliot and downgrade some of the defenders?

    first team is most balanced but was looking at points and the midfield and attack score way more than defense so surely the 3rd team would score the most points?
