The deadline bell has rung, meaning no more tinkering, no more transfers and your gameweek captain has been chosen. Did you go with Costa or Fabregas or are you ignoring the Chelsea brigade and maybe kept faith with Siggy or even Robertson!! Whatever your team, we now look forward to three days of action, starting off with Aston Villa vs Newcastle this lunchtime and finishing Monday night at the Etihad as City entertain Liverpool.
Keep track of all the action, the goals, the talking points, right here at FF247 Live Match Chat, an interactive chat which encourages you to keep involved and share your thoughts and emotions as the matches take place.
Good luck for GW2 from all at FF247!
Might have to use my wild card. What do you guys think?
Had a nightmare this week.
What’s the rest of your squad?
What changes would you make if you had a wildcard?
This is my bench, happy to loose 4 points.
Gutted with this week.
Your team doensn’t look that bad. Especially now I’ve seen the second part. Only problem areas are Chester and Bojan? Doubling up on Hull was kind of a big risk.
Why???
Your team does not look bad.
Bench Chester.
Bojan<Naismith or similar
Who have you got on your bench?
Would have been better if you had posted a screen shot from “Pick My Team” tab.
My world ranking has dropped to like 400,000 from 10,000 or so.
Problem areas is defence imo.
Jagielka – Poor fixtures and pricy.
Debuchy – Poor fixtures (after this week) and pricy.
Chester/Davies – Fine for now but need to get rid of one.
Vlaar – Fine this week but terrible fixtures after that.
Bojan – He’s terrible. Get rid asap.
Eriksen – Could do well but better options out there (Mata, Sterling, Fabregas)
I’d transfer Jagielka for Colocini this week, play 4 at the back and consider wildcard next week.
badger
Double Hull at the back is a risk. Perfect chance now to remove Chester – go for Coloccini and I honestly think your defence is OK.
As seems popular here, Naisith in for Bjan would be a good move so in two transfers you have given yourself a competitive squad. Don’t worry about one bad week. You will get more of them but we all do. Don’t panic and the WC is definitely not required.
Thanks a lot man!
Badge, 1st question has to be why have you got 2 Hull defenders ?
They kept a great clean sheet in the first game and looked promising today, if Chester wasn’t sent off could have been another clean sheet.
Getting rid of Chester though, going to head the advice and take Coloccini.
I’d bench Chester this week and get rid of Davies next week. Same result but saves you money.
Actually…consider my post above.
55 (-8) with Dzeko to play. Playing Chester instead of Taylor cost me 10 points…suppose you can’t really predict a red card.
Austin > Jelly or Naismith?
Fixtures are with Jelly right now, and he is on penalties too.
Naismith
Jelly for me, Everton start the Europa league after GW 4 and I’m unsure if they’ll stick with the two up top for the EPL, burning a couple of FT’s on your third striker isn’t needed early days.
Anyone about? I’m having a cracking start: 143 points overall, and 529 in the world- best I’ve ever done by a long long way (and yes, I know it’s only week 2!!). Bit unsure what to do next. I’ve got 2 FTs, and my team is below.
1) I have no City or Liverpool cover. Sterling/Silva are tempting me. That said, I’m quite pleased with my attacking lineup- all getting goals/assists, and all have decent fixtures. Maybe I don’t need double Man Utd, but is double Chelsea still ok? I think after the game tomorrow my ranking will slip a little because I’m without cover from these two high-scoring teams.
2) Begovic won’t keep a CS next week (or maybe at all, Stoke look shoddy at the back!). That said, I don’t like rotating keepers, since I always leave the wrong one on the bench. After the City game, his fixtures are good, and he may well get save points. It doesn’t seem worth trading him for, e.g. Lloris or Forster at this point.
3) I said I’d do an early WC, but I really don’t think that’s necessary at all. Thanks anyone in advance for your thoughts!
Cracking team mate, only change i’d make is Rooney or Mata, but then again, you’re doing far better than me!
Wow, you most certainly are no fool of a tôk anymore.
I think you should devise a plan to bring in Aguero for Rooney, and be ready to put this plan into motion when Aguero starts firing, because the way United are playing right now, Aguero should outscore Rooney by a margin.
Pippin,
First off, brilliant shooting mate – keep it going.
I am on 128 currently with Sterling still to go this week. I’m 13,522 which shows you that there is only 15 points between us but 13,000 places!
I agree with Tekno – I’d be trying to work Aguero in in place of Rooney. Terry I think would be the one to make way for me. You have two other Chelsea players anyway and a defender of 5.0 would allow you the 1.5 necessary for Aguero.
You are in a great position – don’t worry if you slide one week – inevitably it will happen, but be calm and assured on your transfers and you will have a fine season. Great platform.
Pippin,
So you are the man who has stolen my top spot in the Manager of the Month competition eh? Only consolation is it wasn’t Dier who helped you overtake me.
Your team looks very good and like you, I have 2FT with no City/Pool coverage. Im thinking Kolarov in next week and then possibly a WC GW3…i don’t like the pressure of keeping it.
thanks badger, tekno, Gallant, Bean for your kind words- and ideas! I like the idea of Kun too- he has the great advantage that he is easily traded out for anyone else if he gets injured. Terry out is a decent call- I could bring in a Saints defender perhaps and yes switch Roo directly for Aguero. Will likely let Rooney play Burnley first though, and monitor Aguero in the next two fixtures.
Bean, yep my team is Athletico Bosh. If Kolarov can hold down his starting spot he’ll be gold, but I’d just worry about his competition, especially once the CL begins. Gallant, great score also mate, and very wise to point out that there’ll be some bad weeks too- and not to panic! If Sterling has a blinder tomorrow, you may well overtake me- good luck!
Pip, stay clear of Kolarov. There’s no chance Clichy’ll be benched each match, and last season Kolarov often came off the bench for a 1 pointer. You’ll end up regretting it, mark my words. MARK MY WORDS!!!!!!
Tekno- yeah mate, I was actually trying to warn my rival Mr Bean- but your choice is words is much more stark haha! I am actually happy with my cheap rotating defence (exception to which is Terry, who’s doing ok for now but is the obvious one to downgrade for cash, as we discussed above)
i’m like you, if I have two keepers I will always have the wrong one playing, did it week after week last year. I started with Begovic as well, but have been disappointed. Only reason I went him over Krul was newcastles first game was against MCI. sure enough Krul keep a CS this week and Stoke can’t against 10 men.
Who is more nailed on & more potential point scorer Taylor or Amat Swa
Taylor…aways prefer fullbacks
Silverback
Neil Taylor. Amat has Fernandez (new signing) vying for his place.
Taylor was kind of terrible the first game. But he’ll play everything you reckon?
In same boat as you Silverback. Considering a move for Newcastle defender, Swansea defender or Sot defender. Preferable Swans or Newcastle since they have 2 homegames next.
Swansea good till GW10 (bar Chelsea away GW4)
Soton good till GW13 (bar Spurs away GW7)
Newcastle good till GW15 (Bar Pool and Spurs in GW9 and 10)
Taylor, Collo, Clyne should be nailed on for their respective teams…Dummet and Yoshida are cheaper options but not sure how long they will remain in their starting squads.
Dummet till November, I think. Think I might use wildcard after GW6 (second International break).
Hi Raz yes not sure who to get in Swa would be better for me rotate better with other Def but Ihave got Bojangles to sort as well & Ive already made 1 sub
+1 on Taylor. He gets forward well, and I think any defender on an early YC will look flakey against a winger like Januzaj. Didn’t see the Swans game this weekend but he seems to have done alright.
Hi All,
Is it too early to think about using my WC? Had a decent start and currently around the 67k mark with Dzeko still to go in overall rankings…
Current Team:
De Gea
Debuchy Ben Davies Vlaar
Ramsey Mata Eriksen Siggy
Rooney Costa Dzeko
Krul Davis Duff Chambers
Already done Ben Davies and Chamber out for Dier and Wisdom with my 2 FT’s
WC Team:
Krul Mannone
Neil Taylor, Yoshida, Dier, Vlaar Wisdom
Ramsey Mata Cattermole, Siggy Sterling
Costa Aguero Adebayor
Think Aguero will be starting from next weekend and this way I have attacking cover from the major teams. Also think Adebayor might be a decent punt and differential.
That looks a very strong team there shep with the WC, I’d hold on a few weeks however just because the team is pretty similar, just slowing build the team you want.
