Good luck for GW1 from all at FF247!
Thinking of dropping Mata for Sterling with my free transfer. Too soon to bail on Mata? Thought he looked terrible in the 30 minutes of the game i saw
Considering Mata has Sunderland next whereas Sterling faces Man City, I’d say yes, too soon. Give your picks a chance… from gameweek 4 onwards I will probably have Sterling in my team.
Thanks. This site’s like group therapy for FPL addicts. Not saying I’m happy others teams didn’t do well, just helps knowing it wasn’t just my team that tanked
Agreed.
With these fixtures I’m persevering with Mata & co.:
Sunderland (A) Burnley (A) QPR (H) Leicester (A) West Ham (H)
I have Henderson so I’ll probably go for Sturridge in for Costa rather than picking Sterling.
…I don’t mean this week for that sub, in a couple of weeks.
Was also thinking about this… From people who’ve successfully built team value in previous seasons, how hard do you chase it? If you can upgrade or go sideways, your new guy still has good fixtures, and you can also make money, would you do the transfer?
Sterling in certainly seems like it would be a nice earner…It’s tempting. But then I did pick my team for the first 3 GWs at least…
ManU definitely have the better fixtures but, like you, would hate to miss out on a Sterling price increase. Have to remember I didn’t pick Sterling because of his GW 2&3 fixtures. A little shocked Siggy’s price didn’t go up overnight
Players who tend to rise in value are those who score well and have good fixtures (Sigurdsson, Clyne, Chester).
It also helps if a similar player has a shocker or gets injured (e.g. Sigurdsson is a direct replacement for Barkley).
I don’t think Sterling/Sturridge will go up much if anything this week but if they score well in GW3 then they’ll go through the roof.
…well Sturridge might not because people might not have the cash to upgrade.
For me it’s always been Sturridge or Costa to play up front with Shrek. I’ve decided: Mata & B0jan get at least another week. Promised myself I’d let my team stand for 3 weeks before I started to tinker. Want to make it at least 2 weeks…
30 points with 3 to play…..not exactly the start i was hoping for!!!!
Kicking your arse MR D – oh wait I have 31 with 3 to play – Dzeko, Terry and Costa (c). Who you got?
Dzeko, yaya and fabregas…..i would like 20 points from those please.
Too bad, based on the second half feeder club deserved a draw. On that note, don’t see this Liverpool playing for the title this year.
Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal contending for the league.
Man Utd and Liverpool playing for 4th.
Precisely.
I don’t see Arsenal contending for the league.
I don’t think they’ll win it but won’t be far off. Chelsea, Man CIty then Arsenal.
Have you seen Arsenal play yesterday??????????????
Hardly anyone is fully fit yet.
That’s a typical Arsenal excuse James. You’re not a gunner are you? 😉
Yes, actually, didn’t you know? 😉
In the words of Wenger we looked… “jaded”.
In the words of me, myself and I: You looked … ”faded”.
We are not the title contenders? I think you are DALEY when you said those words. 😉
That was still Palace which is a tough team to beat. They still have not left the Pulis image behind and their game looked exactly like the way Pulis liked his team to play. Difficult game !! And still we were without Ozil and Wally.
Being without Ozil could be a blessing in disguise. Wally is needed though. Think Chelsea will be this years winners. Hoping otherwise.
Who the f. is Daley?
You did not get it then mate…
Daley BLIND !!! Now you will realize.. 😉
Ozil+Sanchez combination would be killer,remember you heard it here first before you get Ozil in your fantasy team.
AHA. We don’t make jokes about Daley Blind where I’m from. 😛
Man Utd playing for 4th?Really?See how they come out of the “easy” fixtures over the next few weeks.
They need to add at least 3 world class players. Fletcher and Herrera won’t rescue the terrible defense. So 1 central midfield player, 1 defender and a player like Di Maria/Robben. Don’t see that happening though.
Afternoon friends, anyone need any help? Tea, coffee, biscuits, beer?
Is Valium on offer?
Give me 2 😉
Hey mod, about time, I’ve been looking all over for one of you. Do you still stand by all your tips? I look forward to seeing a reasoned debate… :beer: please.
I’d like a big haul of Silva points if you could whip one up for me please innit.
‘Bout time a mod turned up! I could go for a beer please mate, nice one.
Init – a beer be nice. Had a 10k race today so nothing last night and just finished my first. Can you ensure its a cold one please? Some not in there long.
Afternoon Innit!
Way we finished left me feeling very unsettled! Thankfully I have beer!
Mata has one more game after this weekend, then I think Sterling will have to be in! And why did I get rid of Naismith??!
B – Bash , is that the correct linking of your team?
Dreamers, no its not mate! No idea how that’s happened! I haven’t changed anything from last season. Will have a look when I get home with better wifi! Cheers fella!
Hello mate, yeah thought about you when the blue Messi netted! 😉
On your team link thing – you need to re-do it as they have changed all the user ID numbers so you need to re-link it.
Ok cool, 2 beers, 1 Valium, 1 shed load of Silva points and a new Sterling for B all on order. Give me 5 ok 😉
I’d like to know what your credentials are initt. Link your team, are you qualified to give advice around here??? lol
Red I worked in a hotel during my Uni days so I’m well versed in carrying trays for customers so don’t worry! Sterlings a bit heavy mind you! Advice you say? No mate, no idea about any of this fantasy stuff, ask each other I’ll just get the drinks in while you chat 😉
Haha, sounds good initt- thanks!!
Where are the mods when you them? I mean, ffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deano says something like this all hell breaks loose. I do an attempt and it’s being ignored.
Terrible hosts.
I’ll get you an ashtray for that Raz. More cognac?
I want to file a complaint! Where do I find and fill in the form?
I stuffed them all up some Aussie chaps arse last night Raz.
I didn’t interfere there. Was quite hilarious though. Reminds me of the days I used to own an Anime Network on DC++. Used to have 10-20k users a day (some never leaving :P). Anyway, arguments with other networks about petty things. People trying to crash your hubs/network and so on. At a certain point in my life I even took such small/petty things seriously. Hehe.
You called Lord Razman?
Interesting to see Dummett at 4.0 start for Newcastle. I know some Geordies were talking him up last season, he could be one to watch for people who don’t have Krul if he gets regular playing time.
Good news for Jovetic owners. 😉
