Anyone considering dropping Fabregas? Think he told the media he wasn’t going to score/assist as much the next games…??????? On the other hand, on MOTD I heard him say he has a perfect relationship with Hazard and Oscar. Plus, Matic is the deepest midfield player. What you guys reckon? Hmmm also keep in mind he is still the set piece taker right? Last game I saw Oscar take a free kick though. >.<
fabregas mind games…?jks
Unless his points dry up, i have no need to drop him yet… but for 0.4 more you can get the big dog 😉
as you say matic will always play deeper, and when fab goes forward, which he will naturally, oscar usually does a good job of sitting in for him!
+ most games when we lead at 70 mins, oscar/willian/schurlle comes off for mikel and fab pushes forward, so theres still that attacking potential aswell,
YOU’RE RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thinks.
Thinks is thanks!!!!!!!!! >.<
Absolutely not. That interview is being blown out of proportion altogether. He didn’t say anything of the sort
TRUTH BE TOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPOKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who’s the better pick for next gameweek, Wisdom with a home game against Palace or Hutton with an away game against QPR? Palace has scored 11 and conceded 14 while QPR has scored 6 and conceded 18. Still though, it’s a home vs away dilemma.
Can’t you just enlarge your avatar? Don’t really care about seeing yet another FPL team. >.<
Give me sexy girl isntead. :popcorn: :hippo:
+1
Here’s your girl, now answer my f*cking question.
Sorry, can’t read. Cool picture though.
lmao
nice… thanks
cody- hutton for me but its a 50/50 call!
team looks promising for this week though!!
Hazard – Thanks man!
reasoning being, if palace can score against chelsea….west brom shouldn’t be a problem
Yeah true!
Wisdom, for me.
NIN – ooo alright. Thanks!
No problem. To be honest, i don’t think it’s a close call to make. Wisdom is the right pick, and maybe even move Hutton to 2nd sub and Zamora to 1st sub as i think he’ll start again vs Villa with Vargas.
yeah zamora looked good actually, but then again to me he didn’t look like scoring. (i watched the match whilst muti-tasking-that fair nin?)
hazard10 – Yeah i thought he actually played okay, but yes, didn’t really threaten. Still, on that form you’d have to fancy QPR to score 1 or 2 vs Villa. Famous last words 😉
It’s a coin toss but agree that Zamora should be first sub.
It’s a coin toss, in all honesty. Burnley could also score against Chelsea so the point Hazard is making below makes no sense. 😉
I think Villa have a better team however they did concede 3 goals versus Everton. I think Wisdom and Hutton both used as back but I think Wisdom has a bit more attacking threat. Don’t know, go with your gut (if you have one).
I think I’ll flip a coin – literally.
cheers buddy 😉
wisdom and hutton both have no goals or assists….
It’s all about how dangerous they look. Van Aanholt for instance has been looking very lively going forward but he also assisted in just the first game. Janmaat looked like getting goals/assists after the first game, which he did but it was his last one. Anyway, now I think about it Hutton also makes good runs going forward. Villa just got Benteke back though, and they really need him. They only scored 4 freaking goals. So Hutton getting no assists is no surprise. Lol. 4 goals in 8 matches. WOW!
WBA got 8 from 8. They have Berahino though. Now Bentekers is back I think Villa will soon start scoring again.
Just wanted to tell you stats don’t say everything Hazard. And Crystal getting a goal versus Chelsea doesn’t mean they will score against all opponents now. Burnly was a good example, they scored against Chelsea but didn’t score in their next 5 fixtures. Too much arousal in your voice/typing when referring to Chelsea… I CAN TRUST YA LIKE I CAN TRUST MOU’S PRE-MATCH PRESSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was a joke back for saying i was wrong raz!!! no brain was put into that!
This is why I got rid of Costa 3 weeks ago. Never know if he will be playing. Then Rooney get suspended and back in team comes Costa. One more week and I can get Rooney back
Ummm. You crazy? >.<
Just tweeted my vote– good luck to you all!
Gonna re-post from last night: I’m pondering potential transfers. Things are going very well but there are things I’d like to fix…
1) Sterling game time is the Concern of the Week, as is losing Costa. I am going to resist both of these right now, though I wonder whether getting Boyd in for Quinn (who’s lost his place?) is worthwhile, so I have a playing attacking sub. That said, this feels like a wasted transfer…
2) I really need to fix up the defence. Swansea, Stoke and Sunderland fixtures get pretty nasty in 2/3 weeks time and I might be looking to clear out Taylor, Wilson and O’Shea. Coloccini isn’t a brilliant option but I fancy Newcastle a bit more in the coming weeks. I am looking at Chambers, Hutton, and perhaps Moore of Leicester. Thoughts?
3) Downing has a tough next fixture but thereafter he looks ok for a few weeks. Sigurdsson however hits a run of tough fixtures soon. Pondering Barkley, and I’m glad to have another week to monitor his return.
4) Anything else obvious? Thanks in advance anyone!
Pippin, instead of moore for your defense how about wisdom? I’m thinking to bring him in this week as his next 3 fixtures look appealing, after which he can be benched again.
Southampton have some decent fixtures up until GW13 so maybe look at Alderwierld if you can afford him instead of Colo or Taylor.
I’d wait and see how Barkley does in the next game before swapping him for Siggy.
Swansea didn’t play very well yesterday at Stoke but at home to Leicester i expect them to get back to winning ways.
photek- thanks pal. I agree on waiting re Ross, and yes Gylfi deserves a crack at Leicester. Wisdom is a good call, I like your thinking! Alderweireld is a good option, but I’m hesitant to double up on Saints at the back– worth pondering though, thanks!
Howdy Pip. Nice work in reaching the top 1k :thumbup: I agree with photek re Wisdom. WBA have 3 decent fixtures ahead. I’d probably leave it at that as the rest of your team is looking really good for this weekend, providing Costa is fit of course.
Cheers NIN- I’m delighted with my scoring. Thanks as ever for your sound advice. Wisdom in for one of my current defenders is a good call. If Costa isn’t fit I may take a 4pt hit Friday to get in someone who I think is very likely to score, or else just take the 2pts from someone off the bench. Will see how reports of his “recovery” go!
If you want to bring Wisdom in then in might be worth doing it this week and bench Downing.
Hey guys, really need some help with my team having a poor season so far some advice would be appreciated;
Heaton (Mannone)
Clyne Chambers Taylor (Hutton & Duff)
Fab ADM Siggy Sterling (Cattermole)
Costa Pelle Aguero
I know Costa is injured but not willing to drop him yet.
0.8 in the bank and one free transfer.
I’m willing to take a hit and any suggestions for a 3-4week strategy will be welcomed,
Thanks.
FT you’re front 7 are very strong aslong as Costa is fit for the next game.
Clyne and Taylor both have decent fixtures in the next gw, maybe look at replacing Taylor as Swansea’s fixtures look harder in the following 2. Chambers fixtures look ok.
maybe look at using your money on improving Heaton. You could double up on Southampton and get Forster
Thanks very much Phokek.
Would you replace Heaton instead of Mannone?
I would like to replace Taylor but if I upgrade a keeper to a 5m it only leaves me 4.7m to play with.
maybe mannone after that horror show he’s bound to be dropped and they only have palace and leicester (both away) in the next 7 that might bring points.
they have ARS, EVE, MANC, CHE and liv in the other games…tough run.
can anyone explain what this fantasy football fix is? if you upload your team to their site, does it automatically make the changes or does it then recommend what you should do????
It’s poo to be honest.
thanks Ant – poo in the sense that the recommendation aren’t very good?
Yeah. For instance it told me I’d get around 52 points this week. Then underneath it said click to improve points which I did, and it took Baines out and put an injured Arsenal defender in.
thats crazy! just out of interest, how many points are you on?
40 points.
It shows 5 suggestions to make for your team. It seemed to me that the suggestions are based on the top scoring player that you can afford for that position, but maybe not if it suggested an injured player from Arsenals defense 😛
hmm sounds crap then. so it didn’t automatically change it for you, just made the recommendation?
Aye just recommendations
cheers all. best and most satisfying way to do it is to make your own calls based on your instincts and knowledge anyway (and recommendations from peeps on here too)
Gerrardslipped – I think that will be a useful tool for a bit of guidance maybe, but they’ll need to get it sorted out first as it’s a touch bonkers (i’d rather make my own decisions anyway, with help from people on here of course). To be honest, their price change is the main reason i’m using the site as it’s a lot more accurate than anywhere else. Over time i fancy it to become a really good/cool site but for now, stick to the price change
