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

      Has Gyan been playing as well as Sessegnon in pre season? Is Sessegnon just behind or playing in a 2 man strikeforce?!

        Sessegnon has never actually played as a striker pre-season, he's always been in behind the striker, and getting great reviews while there as well.

        Gyan has been less spectacular but scored today and is perhaps now coming back to fitness now after injury

    Any thoughts on the impact of 'the scout' providing tips to everyone via the fpl homepage each week?

    Presumably the tips will reflect the views on this site and significantly increase the level of competition in mini-leagues.

    I won a cash league of 70ish people last year full of people who did very little research so picked poor teams each week.

    Already people in the league are saying they will wait till the scout picks come out on the 11th and probably end up with a competitive team similar to the bog standard rmt on here.

    think it will make the pack tighter.... making smart differentials crucial

      I had to give up on the chatroom. The same 4 or 5 knobs constantly shouting out their players names followed by the odd comedian who falsely claims a VDV goal or some such, followed by 3 minutes of people clarifying it didn't happen and an angry mob giving out followed by the knobs shouting their players' names again. Rinse, repeat.

                    Clearly, I can't be sure how AVB thinks but 2 things I know for sure: his nationality is irrelevant and he is a far better defender than Luiz at this point in time.

          I was getting at the fact that he will be playing a very attacking part in the team under AVB making him a great choice, ontop of CS's of course.

            Ah fair enough. I do know that but didn't really realise that's what you were getting at, bit tired.

              Me either, Cole is gonna bag plenty more CS but Baines is attacking and defensive cover for Everton so it's a very close call. I think the fitness of Arteta will decide it for me.

    Hmm re-done since my earlier uber risky team, what do people think of:
    Given / De Vries
    A Cole / Kompany / Hughes / RJ / Simpson
    Malouda / N Zogs / Sess / O'Hara / Moses
    Hoillett / RVP / Carroll

    Think I should downgrade one of RJ or Hughes or indeed both?
    Carroll is only if Suarez is unavailable.
    RVP will probably be swapped for Drogs or Torres
    Hoilett has a great first fixture but not playing centrally might he not be the best pick?

    Midfield – Expecting big things from Silva, Taraabt and Nzogbia.
    Forwards – RVP is essential no matter what the fixtures. I fancy Drogba to get the nod ahead of Torres in the first two games, and Drogba had a great start to last season when things were going his way. Will be changing him to Suarez in GW3

          Nope, I'm waiting to see what happens. Lampard definitely won't be worth the 12m. I could be tempted by Malouda if he shows great form and plays regularly but at 10.5m I think it's a bit too much of a gamble. The rest of them either don't seem like big point scorers or will be rotated too much.
