While Gameweek 15 is shaping up to be one to forget for many Fantasy managers, our analysis of the weekend’s statistics for members offers some insight to distract us, notably the growing influence of Yannick Bolasie and West Ham’s efforts to maximise the formidable weapon that is Andy Carroll.
Raheem Sterling
no goals since week 5
only two double digit hauls in weeks 1 & 5
how his price levitates with Sturridge still out mystifies me
who would you rather have tonight- Rooney or Clyne?
are you kidding? haha
Bertrand 😉
RVP 😉
not kidding. I have Rooney but sense a 1-0 Saints
How does Fabz and Kun > Hart and Rooney for -4 sound?
Have got Naylor as Swans coverage. Don't like the double up so looking to shift one.
do you have a playing sub keeper?
no....
Is Chambers->Clichy worthwhile? Don't really fancy get SOT defence back in just yet so open to other suggestions.
Defence is pretty lightweight, currently have: Azpi, Wisdom, Dummett, Chambers, Yun
CheersI worry about Clichy's minutes over the busy schedule. =
Clichy will be rotated with Kolarov soon imo
Decided what to do , but give (or not) your approval
Jedinak + Kun to Yaya + Djeko
Thanxthat's good
What happened/is happening with round 2 of the PP cup?
In Round 1, did GW14 or GW15's score count?
Gw15
That's BS. Why?
I'm not sure tbh. If I was to guess it could be due to workload constraints in the quick turnaround of gw 14
Because that was the designated round 1 gameweek?
I asked "why?" not "can you be an insufferable d1ckh3ad?"
GW14 was midweek & draw wasn't out from memory.
Was stated in entry that GW15 was the start.
Who scores higher tomorrow?
A) Clyne + 1 point
B) RooneyNeither. Match is tonight.
Don't presume everyone is in England.
Just everyone west of Turkmenistan.
Rooney
coin flip if i was a bookie i would have Clyne + 1 slight favourite
Hopefully they both blank.
Has anyone thought that Pozo/Jovetic could affect Dzeko's game time?
Sensible people.
Jovetic is not a striker. And what is a Pozo? lol
Aguero's injury replacement when he limped off. He had a decent game. Jovetic can play as a striker.
Only because Dzeko is himself just back from an injury and is needed for Rome. Dzeko is the main man if Aguero is out
Jovetic can't play as a striker lol
I think he can. Played there for Firoentina.
I can see Jovetic starting with Dzeko. I feel Pelle will want a target man up front, that's more of Dzeko's game than Jovetic. As for Pozo, he only came on so as to not risk injuring their only fit, senior striker, Dzeko.
anyone considering Pelle as an aguero replacement? Them next 3 fixtures look good
no chance. Pelle hasn't been impressing lately
Form > Fixtures
If I can afford Aguero and Boyd to Yaya and Sakho, best to do that instead of Downing to Yaya... right?
Just concerned about the lack of funds left over..Downing is great. Why would you sell him?
because I want Sakho and think he is a better option, 2 west ham isn't that great.
For example I would play Sakho this weekend and bench Downing. so may aswell sell?Are these frees? I wouldn't swap Downing for Sakho as part of a hit.
I wouldn't bench fit players this week and take a hit.
Focking Chadli, what a trap
This.I've had enough...but what if he starts now?
Not really-- He was more than invaluable till he got injured.
8th highest PPG among attacking players... (don't own, just sayin')
Surely has to start vs Swansea.
If you have other concerns, leave him.
Currently have as many as SIX injured/suspended players, so need to make some transfers.
KRUL/ELLIOT
Bertrand - CHAMBERS - N.Taylor - Hutton - Yun
Sánchez - FÁBREGAS - Eriksen - Sigurdsson - Marney
AGÜERO - Diego Costa - Austin
Would you make these moves for -8 (got 2 FT)?
Agüero -> Rooney
Fábregas -> Hazard
Chambers -> Baines
Krul -> Pantilimon
Would leave me with 1.2 ITB for further upgrades.Not sure on the keeper change but rest looks very good. With 2 FTs and Elliot out long-term it looks like a good move and time to do it.
Very tempting, I'm in a similar situation. Trying to decide whether it's worth the extra -4 for pant, when I could wait one more week for Elliot to be back. On the other hand, of pant scores an avg 2, it's only a -2 hit.
Thanks guys, the Pantimilon move is the one I'm least confident about...might be better to leave it for another week.
Austin should be in CAPS too 😀
Silva and Rooney or Yaya and Bony/Benteke
really like the Silva pick but we really need to see him play healthy first
Yaya and Bony
What should i do?
A. WC
B. Aguero, Fabegras, Gilk -> Rooney, Yaya, Pantilmon -4
C. Aguero, Fab -> Hazard, Bony
C. Aguero, Fab -> Dzeko, Hazard
FABINSKI Gilk
CHAMBERS Wisdom Clyne Hutton Baines
FABERGAS Sanchez Davies Siggy Downing
AGUERO AUSTIN Costa
0.3 in bank 2 FT
C with Hazard + Costa
lol, Fantasy Football Fix asks for your FPL Username & FPL Password instead of just your team ID?
People actually use this site?talk about naive!
yup
& people like it
It's naive to think that that's the only way to login to their site
The name puts me off.
You can scroll down & enter without FPL password.
Joining as a member is weird too, they asked for a photo of my passport and bank details but no money. Strange...
They already had mine so they didn't ask again.
I think I've talked myself into getting Dzeko, if:
He plays 90 midweek.
Silva is involved midweek.Why not Lolkaku? QPR H, he could be a decent 1 GW punt, maybe even more..
When you expect a big score - he'll blank. Too inconsistent.
WOW. What a weekend....my team, like many others, is left in ruins.
Team for next weekend;
-
Clyne - Bertrand - Baines - Hutton - Wisdom
Hazard - Sigurdsson - Downing - Boyd
Rooney
(Fabianski/Gilks - Aguero - Fabregas - Austin) 1FT - £0.6
Happy to go without a GK this GW. Hardly worth a hit?
Aguero + Fabregas ---> Costa + Sanchez (-4) No-brainer surely?
Yaya 4yc.... but please, go ahead and take multiple hits or even wildcard to fit him into your mid. 😯
You make a good point, Business Dog.
Would love to have Sakho as a Aguero replacement but West Ham have 3 tough fixture in their next 5. Don't think he is fixture proof.
sun, LEI, che, ARS, WBA
only one tough fixture there for meAye, Leicester.
Like many my team is in a bad state.
Currently looks like - http://imgur.com/H1ZRN4w
Selling prices - http://imgur.com/uWsuBEh
I'm thinking an 8 pointer is needed:
Aguero, Chadli, Chambers to Dzeko/Bony/Jovetic, Yaya, Clichy (am a little worried about Kolarov)
or
Costa, Mirallas, 6.4m def
Thoughts?
Not a nice gameweek for me - Aguero, Fabianski, Chambers, Austin. Serious repairs in order now. Thank the lord for 2 FT.
I also have Fabregas but no Fabian.
Im benching Fabregas and Austin. Prob ditching Chambers.
Some thoughts on the posts and articles and Xmas schedule I have read recently:
I can't find that excellent post from Greenmill (i think) about the players who played every minute over the Xmas period, what I can remember was that the likes of Terry, Benteke and Yaya played every minute for their clubs. Having players that are proper nailed on is so vital over the Xmas period.
In terms of forwards and the excellent post about Aguero replacements, I genuinely believe your front 3 should consist of Rooney, Benteke and Austin and if your not keen on Benteke then Bony instead but as you know he will be subbed off most games around the 67-70 minute mark. The three I have put forward will play every game, 2 are on pens as well. The Rooney positional debate for me is negated because Rooney is a proven FPL performer, he will get you points wherever he plays on the pitch.
Look at the fixtures for Man United, Aston Villa and QPR over the Xmas period, golden in my eyes.
Yaya Toure and Kompany are the ONLY 2 city players you should consider over the Xmas period, everyone else will see some rotation and I include Hart to a lesser extent. Their fixtures are ridiculously to good too ignore.
Sanchez WILL get rested at some point, Wenger should do it sooner rather than later or he'll burn him out like Ozil. Chambers is soon to not be nailed on, get rid, simple as.
And finally whilst I was out yesterday and checked the Villa score, see-ing Hutton score and imagined how happy this site was 🙂 Merry Xmas you slags!Sanchez will be rested in the CL imo
Until their definitely in, I can't see it
They have already qualified.
lol at me
Wenger's already said Sanchez won't travel with the squad for the CL game.
Sanchez rested CL hopefully. Why not Dzeko for City?
Rotation, do you want a player over the xmas period who will constantly get 60 minutes or 25-30 off the bench, very frustrating
Bony has played the full 90 in his last 2 games. Or every game I've owned him 😉
CHADLI !!!!
Will he start to play ? im loosing money on him currently ;(
What is the tie breaker for the PP cup? Is it OR rank?
If so I need Mata to score 4 or less tonight to advanceOR I think.
yes, basically the one who has better overall has 1 point head start
Def frisbee Chambers???
Or keep?Why are people getting in Tekkers? Plays in a poor team
scores fantasy points?
Good players in crap teams usually soak up the baps and have high goal involvement.
How's Rooney's fit?
errrr
just see if he plays this evening?left or right?
like a round peg in a square hole
more arguments about luck on this article. i agree with triggerlips by the by. it was nice of lady luck to guide me to those 4 consecutive top 6k finishes. all the hours of effort i put in was for naught seeing that the hand of providence steered me to where serendipity decided i belonged. in other words: noop. luck is but a small aspect. i'd say that to finish in the top 30k or so requires little luck and much effort
I think it simply varies from person to person.
Some will put in effort and be rewarded
Some will put in effort and not be rewarded
Some won't put in effort and be rewarded
Some won't put in effort and won't be rewarded
It's entirely variable for everyone.It's not all that different to a person's actual footballing ability. Some can try as hard as they like and get nowhere while for others it's oh so very easy.
i think that if you make sensible decisions based on statistical analysis and visual observation, you will get a good rank. not necessarily wonderful, but solid. so i don't actually agree with you. but of course what one deems success is considered by another, abject failure. so i guess it's relative
amen
Good poker players win more money than they lose. But they don't win every time. I see fpl as no different. A luck based game where the skilful player will usually find a way to win more than they lose and generally will come out ahead.
4 consecutive finishes in top 6k. Niceeee
I've had 3 top 1kish finishes in 4 years. Didn't do anything different in the other year and finished 50k 🙂
luck plays a part..but if u are getting all the mainstream players u are just 1 of many who are affected...so u would not lose out really. I have 7 captain blanks so far and still within 2k becos i pick all the safe captains and when they fail everybody fails.
i think most impt to get a good end is
1) play safe by getting all starters and reliable point getters..
2) resist punts early (barkley, young are some of those who fails).
3) resist making 1 gw transfer..it seldom works out
4) wait until the player is back b4 u get him (walcott, sturridge for eg)
5) safe captaincy
boring game but with that your team should be solid and u will have a respectable rank.
Guzan( Krul injur)
Wisdom/Azpi ( Duff/S taylor/Chambers all susp or injured )
Sanchez/haz/Siggy/Downing/Marney 😀
Costa/Dzeko
-4. Play with 10 this week ???
Any thoughts pls.
