Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2016-17
FPL is finally open and ready for business and so are we with a new edition of Bore Off. This will only be one of the many articles we will try and bring you over the coming weeks, all leading to GW1 and the beginning of another season. For any new members we welcome you to the site and we hope you enjoy this article. For the veterans, you know the drill. Cookie (United fan) hates Liverpool, Init (Everton fan) hates Liverpool and Kop (Liverpool fan) hates Liverpool. Think that is a fair assessment of all three. Well ok, having seen the prices and some of the options I have called back The Three Amigos from their summer vacation to get some early observations from them for questions that many of us are wondering about.
Who should we turn to at City? Is Cesc worth considering? And Giroud…of course, don’t matter what the question is about, it’s Giroud. So without further ado, let us get to our question and answer segment quickly so we can let Cookie go back to watching Love Island and complaining about Theo being out.

***New Article*** Some idiots talk FPL
They try…
Thanks guys a brilliant read. Interesting and funny love the bit about Kop hating Liverpool
It’s true
It is. I actually don’t, just for the record, but I let it slide for the comedic effect of the Kop line! I genuinely don’t though. Never really got that hatred of a rival thing. It’s just another football club to me. If Liverpool are playing in the CL and we have it on I want Liverpool to win. And that’s not just because the Mrs supports them. Well, maybe….
We are more alike than I care to think about Init!
Those last two sentences had me knodding and juddering at the same time
Awesome. Cheers guys. I love Kop’s quick thought on Giroud
Not FPL, but I do love this thread
Homer: How was jerk practice boy?
Bart: Actually we were just planning the annual father-son river-rafting trip.
Homer: Hehe . . you don’t have a son.
Homer is freaking great.
Many thanks Mito, good to get the Bore Off ball rolling for the season.
Be interesting to see how much changes between now & GW1!
You think they bring Theo back? Not sure how that show works.
Gents,
Brilliant as ever. FPL has FINALLY begun. We had to wait for the first GABO. We always need to wait for that.
I know it’s early days, but which of these two is better?
ps option 2 (with Mane) leaves me with 0.5 ITB
Mixture of both for me.
Personally i think Courtois and McAuley will potentially score more than Foster and Azpi in the first few weeks. Mainly due to McAuley goals threat.
I wouldnt have an Everton player personally for the first 5 GW’s due to their fixtures but that could be some famous last words. So stick with Rodriguez but would monitor his pre-season.
If Mane is fit in time for the start of the season i think stick with him. I think Coutinho may play a little bit deeper with Salah arriving.
Whats your thoughts behind Fabregas, I would worry for his playing time.
Thanks bmac. I can’t decide what I prefer on the defensive front! If Azpi plays rwb his attacking potential is really good too. I’m slightly concerned at Coutinho playing a little deeper as well. I think Mane will be the main man there. All the while Hazard is out I think fabregas is safe, so I’ll start with him, and ditch him when Hazard is back.
Have you considered Cedric for £5m instead of Azpi? Southamptons start of the season is very tempting. If you went Foster, Cedric, Coutinho you could then bring in Defoe instead of Rodriguez. Just an idea.
I’m a Pompey fan so won’t/can’t consider any of that lot 😉 thanks anyway though! I didn’t pay enough attention to defence last year, so quite like the idea of getting Spurs, Chelsea and Man U defensive cover.
Majority of last season Azpi was a CB and the fact Chelsea now have a two RWB in Moses and Rudiger i cant see him playing in the RWB position very often.
I agree with the Mane choice if fit, Fabregas has been in and out of my team so good to get another view on him.
I thought Rudiger was a CB? I’m only really considering Azpi cos I was under the impression he was moving out to RWB. He won’t be there if that’s not the case.
These decisions will be much easier after pre season. I just can’t help tinkering now!
You are right he is a CB but can play RB also i think. You may be right in what you say mate with regards to where Chelsea aim to play him im not 100% sure, in which case i understand your desire to have Azpi. Pre-season should answer all this and may make your decision easier.
Rudiger is a CB who can play RB. Which means probably not WB
