1. The tough task facing new Brighton manager Potter 7 hours, 52 mins ago

   I was just wondering am I a dying breed a person who actually watches football games and who plays fantasy football? I was watching a video with Joe and David - salivating over stats for preseason! Then Joe comes out with the throw away comment - "famously Simon March won fpl by not watching games" - purely stats. He continued "The game is mostly about stats mostly not watching it - which is just a part of it" I have the feeling there was a lot of confirmation bias in that statement as I assume most who win fpl/or do well in it watch the games as well? I remember Joe also admitted that he rarely watches an actual game when they are on live - so he is obviously heavily stats based. It was clearly evidenced last year when David got hung up on the 'underlying stats' of Salah through his dry run and lost ground. Watching the games would have told a different story. It seems watching the games or the now termed 'eyetest' seems to be almost 'maverick' or not seen as relevant as stats.… » Read

   I am going without Salah and Sterling - treble Liverpool defence for the first few fixtures Then probably phase in the bargain Chelsea/West Ham Leicester/Villa lads. 4-3-3 Ryan (button) ♦ VVD-Robertson-TAA-Coleman-(Azpileceuta) ♦ Fraser-Sigurdsson-KDB-(Dendocker-Trybull) ♦ Wilson-King-Kane » Read

   haha you sound like the fantasy football version of Jon Dahl Tomasson..... » Read

4. Is it worth paying extra for Wilson over King in FPL? 10 days, 2 hours ago

   Is Chicarito an option now with arnautovic gone? Will he be top dog or superseded by a new signing? He is very tempting great value at 6m » Read

5. FPL position change and Leicester move boost Perez's appeal 10 days, 8 hours ago

   Is Cicharito a good pick now since Arnautovic is off to pastures new? Great value at 6.0? Nice fixtures. Or are West Ham likely to splash out on a striker that will put him down the pecking order again? » Read

6. Why it's hard to trust Arsenal assets in 2019/20 12 days, 12 hours ago

   Well I have Azpilicueta on as my first sub (maybe for the first two fixtures) After that they look great from gw3 There are loads of potential Chelsea options at thier prices Whoever starts as striker, Loads of midfield options Willian CHO/RLC They are all midtable prices or tailsiman promoted team prices » Read

   Giroud is more a gw3 pick - wait and see how Chelsea start - fixtures » Read

   I have got Coleman as well instead of Digne he saves the .5 and starts. » Read

   I like it to be honest. Similar to mine except I went 4-3-3 gw1 KDB instead of sterling and have Wilson up front as well. Treble liverpool defence is the way to go for the first five gameweeks. You need to plan a rough exit strategy though after that. » Read

10. Why it's hard to trust Arsenal assets in 2019/20 12 days, 13 hours ago

    I agree I have avoided both Salah, Mane, and Sterling in my favoured draft. Kane is a great set and forget option. But then again I am liable to captain anyone who I think will score well in any given gameweek - defenders-midfielders etc. I just think the value is not there with Sterling and Salah. Until cheaper defensive options like - Christensen/Zinchencko/4.0's emerge, I will not be getting them. Probably wildcard by then anyway. » Read

11. Why it's hard to trust Arsenal assets in 2019/20 12 days, 13 hours ago

    Staying fairly the same barring three changes here and there. I started looking ahead at gw5 on to see can I get my price points right (for roughly moving towards options) Looking at the potential of Lacazette gw6 onwards for example. How to get Chelsea lads in as well maybe Leicester/West Ham and the defensive bargains. I think it is important to play fpl like snooker and have rough plans leaving a pattern of options. You don't want just one needs to be flexible. » Read

12. Pulisic among the new players priced up by FPL 12 days, 22 hours ago

    Very underrated player I always thought. Always busy in games covers the ground. » Read

    Has anyone looked at a 5-2-3 formation 'The three 4.5 midfielders bench' Sterling-Salah captain rotation. 5-2-3 gw1 0 itb Pickford (button) ♦ Coleman-Robertson-TAA-Laporte-Azpilecueta ♦ Sterling-Salah (Dendocker-Tetley-Hayden) ♦ Wilson-King-DCL » Read

14. Pulisic among the new players priced up by FPL 12 days, 22 hours ago

    They must have really tested likely options and formations this year. I have tried a few now to see if I fluke on one. » Read

15. Pulisic among the new players priced up by FPL 12 days, 23 hours ago

    I remember one year there double chelsea and double Man United was common place. Back in the days of Fabio, Vidic, Terry, Ivanovic etc. I can't recall the five at the back though. » Read

    You should be a guest on the FFS podcast - a few cages need rattling! » Read

17. Pulisic among the new players priced up by FPL 12 days, 23 hours ago

    KDB is this years Mane 9.5m. Mane served me well last year - he was obviously way under-priced then and there is value with KDB now too. » Read

18. Pulisic among the new players priced up by FPL 12 days, 23 hours ago

    I will most likely go treble pool defence (can't get away from it with those fixtures) I plan to keep the liverpool treble defence for 5 gameweeks - gamble on a tight Arsenal game. Phase out some/all of the Bournmouth lads in gw3 4-3-3 0 itb Pickford (button) ♦ VVD-Robertson-TAA-Laporte-(Kelly) ♦ Fraser-Sigurdsson-KDB-(Dendocker-Tetley) ♦ Wilson-King-Kane » Read

19. Zaha among the most appealing mid-price FPL midfield options 13 days, 4 hours ago

    There is a great bit on Drimic's wiki page - Early life - "Drmić was born to Croatian parents in Lachen in the canton of Schwyz, and is a dual national.[5] "He applied for Swiss nationality at the age of 16, taking the exam three times in front of commissioners in his home village of Freienbach. On the second attempt, he was rejected because he knew more about Zürich, where he had spent six years in a football school, than the village. He then hired a lawyer who made the case that this was acceptable as Zürich is nearby and of importance to the community." It sounds like he blagged his way into Switzerland! » Read

    From the sound of Drmic this is just his last big payday to sit on the bench - if he does not get injured by the splinters http://fplupdates.com/fpl-potential/josip-drmic-fantasy-football-potential/ » Read
