Good luck for GW1 from all at FF247!
I’m sure a few of us opted for DDG as are only GK thoughts on MU Def or non exsistant
United need to sign a couple of decent centre backs.
Exactly. Al this talk of Di Maria, Vidal, Cuadrado, etc. is redundant if we don’t get at least one, but preferably two solid CBs. A good RB wouldn’t go amiss either, Rafael is turd.
I was very skeptical towards having DDG as my lone keeper to begin with, and if United’s defence doesn’t perform I might get in Lloris instead.
I’m waiting on finding out who C.F.C’s starting keeper is tonight then I’ll be bringing him in as my keeper for the season with a 4.0, hopefully it’s Courtois and Cech’s allowed to leave so rotation will be unlikely.
Thankfully United have the fixtures to allow us time to plan a replacement, if it comes to that. I’m keeping the faith for the moment! Seems weird wanting United to keep clean sheets! Damn this fantasy football! 😉
B-Bash not as weird as me leaping out of my seat and punching the air when Sturridge scored yesterday in a room full of both Everton and Liverpool fans who all know I don’t support Liverpool!
Lol! Did similar thing thing last season when Rooney scored!
Hi B-Bash.
I know how you feel.
I am looking at loading up on Soton players for their decent run.
Amount of stick I took when I bought Lambert LOL
Afternoon Horse,
yes, Southampton got an excellent run of fixtures now and they impresses yesterday! I thought Tadic looked promising and Clyne looked pretty decent at right back!
I have Clyne already and like the look of Tadic.
Also if Long can nail down a place up top, he could fill the cheap forward spot..
I only caught the highlights on MOTD but I thought Ward-Prowse played in an advance role and took some free kicks.
Ward-Prowse interests me more than Long. He played well and seemed to be on most set pieces throughout!
Soooooo many options in midfield.
Sterling looks decent too.
Where is Potty and where are his leagues with silly names? Really want to compete with people of FF247. Also where did the Regulars league disappear? Or I didnt get an invite there? :O

DDG – GIlks
Pieters – Chambers* – Terry – Baird* – Hutton
Ramsey – Mata – Fabregas – Siggy – Albrighton
Jovetic* – Rooney – Costa
*On my boot list
Hoping Terry will start tonight or he will be added to that list, actually he should be the first to go if that happens, lol. If Terry does play tonight would you make any changes? I might give Jovetic 1 more week, not sold on Pelle yet, he wasn’t really involved as much as I like him to be. Also, don’t think Kun will play more than 30 minutes next GW.
Lol, whoscored looks kind of silly just point out SIggy’s weaknesses:
Finishing very weak, crossing weak, passing weak, aerial duels weak. HAHAHA. And dude has no strengths?

Already pointed this out a few days before the United game… they still haven’t changed it though… 😉
True. Aguero against Liverpool will only result him getting injured for life. You should stick to the team if your defenders have decent games in GW2. If not, then maybe Chambers > Kelly / N Taylor / Chester.
Hutton has Newcastle at home, Pieters hull away and Terry Leicester home. With a bit of luck Chambers might start due to Gibbs injury.
Thats a decent back line of defence. Even Hutton at home to Castle is not a bad choice. Is he nailed though? Seems like a steal at that price.
Hmmm, watched MOTD and coach was talking about him and a few others for having a terrific performance. So he should start.
Hi Raz would give Chambers 1 more wk , Baird I would leave @ min , Ive got him as well not sure why he didnt start but did come on. Terry will start , Jovetic if Kun starts Jov will come on & you never know Kun will probably go off with injury
Yeah, planning to keep it as it is. With a bad of luck I can do 2 ft’s next week and bring in some Sot coverage. Hmmm, Pelle might go all out against WBA (since they have a poor defense) but Pelle hasn’t impressed in the first match. Think the WBA game can tell me if he’s worth the punt or not. If I do get him I can also do Chambers to Clyne (with 0.5 extra cash). That is, if Clyne doesn’t rise before saturday.
Please RMT
Krul/Mannone
Terry, Peiters, Chambers, Bruce, N Taylor
Mata, Fabri, Ramsey, Siggy, Hoilet
Rooney, Costa, Jovetic
0 m in the bank.
Offside…
Looks ok..
What’s ur plans for chambers…cus Bruce / Taylor bit shakey…?
Any thoughts on pool attacking cover..?
I’m thinking mata > Sterling maybe..?
Why is Taylor shaky?
Chambers is my short term pick. I will play 3-4-3, so Terry along with 2 defenders will cover my defense.
I’ll bring L’pool attacking coverage after GW3.
Cant understand what to do with Jovetic.
B..
Went off at united….looked shakey..!
That was because he picked up a YC and then Januzaj was continuously running into him. I think that substitution was only to keep Taylor from a red.
B..
Like I said looks shakey….
He may get some game time
But I wouldn’t rely on him as a regular in my defence…
How did he get yellowed anyway…..wasn’t Jauzaj turning him inside out…?
Shakey..!
Offside,
Looks ok, but I agree with BP. Chambers and Bruce are not always guaranteed a start.
City got a week till Liverpool and with Aguero apparently back, Jovetic will have to battle it out with Dzecko for the second spot maybe?
Do we think anyone else will rise this GW …?
Plus who’s gunna start to lose us money..?
Siggy already gone up….which I’m chuffed about..

bp, iv actually written an article on it, of who to get in etc…
not sure if its any good but I’m gonna wait until after the chelsea game and add any performances that are worth mentioning, then i might email it to init or even just screenshot it on a comment.
Haz..
Sounds interesting….
I’ll keep an eye out for it…
thanks bp, never done anything like it and not sure if it’s very good.
if init and members find it useful i will try and do it after each GW.
i had a look at who’s hot for price rises (siggy/sterling/rambo/clyne) and who’s not (barkley/shaw) looking at mata/giroud swell but haven’t written anything up for those two as of yet!
Bigpopz – Just use Totalfpl. The exact NTI figures don’t really mean anything to us as Totalfpl tells us who’s on the up/down and when. Of course players will rise, which ones? The ones who did well! It’s that simple. Same for drops. Just keep an eye on it mate.
Sigurdsson +0.3
Dier +0.2
Chester +0.1
Sterling +0.1
Barkley -0.2
Snodgrass -0.1
Shaw -0.1
Naughton -0.1
57 pts with Terry & Costa still to play… Hopefully Terry doesn’t play as I’ve Siggy to come in.
Average with most on this page I’d imagine lads?
nope, thats a really good score, hopefully captain costa, has and terry can make it up for me. had a bit of a mare leaving both siggy and clyne on the bench.
you should link your team mate
49 with Haz, Costa and Terry to go. You played 4 defs over Siggy Hammer?
