Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! GW8 The USA Edition
Welcome to the Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! GW8 USA Edition article. Having heard what our European writers have had to say about their own FPL seasons , Change of plans, the American contingent finished their part of this double edition of GABO first (just like the Ryder Cup), so we will go with them. Don’t let this put you off though 
We jest of course, because we know we have a good many regular site member from ‘over there’ and they all clearly know their stuff. They follow it as avidly as we do in the UK and in many cases are actually proving to be more successful. We here at FF247 love playing their game – MLS, and we would like to think we have had a fair degree of success in doing so. Except when we completely miss the deadlines! Do they have the same issues, what are their takes on our league and their fantasy game in relation to ours and how are they faring this season so far? Let’s go find out…

Hi folks. I am new here and this is my first comment. Love this site for the brilliant articles and I also like the way people respond to comments on this site.
Hi Sarolkar, welcome. Glad to see you posting, this is the best FPL community around.
How’s your team doing so far, did you have a good start?
Hi sarolkar, welcome to the site. I’m not sure if was intentional but you’ve actually put your e-mail address up there. Up to you but I wouldn’t overly recommend it. Unless you’re just lonely and want people to speak to in which case I’ll shut up 😉 You can switch it in your profile.
@RedVT – best start in my last 3 seasons. Currently on 372 points. OR around 202k. Waiting for Ibrahimovic to explode.
@init – I didn’t realise I had put my email. Need to change.
Change done?
Anand I’ve just changed the earlier one as well now that I know it was a mistake. Welcome again!
Need feedback on my midfield
Looks weak.Too much spent in defence for my liking.I’d downgrade Blind and Ibra and upgrade Hojberg and either Capoue or Fletcher preferably for an Arsenal mid and maybe Son if you can afford.
+1
Downgrade Mc Auley to Amat and Paredes to a 4mn non playing. You obviously don’t want a fourth defender as you won’t bench Blind Walker or Bell (I suppose)
Use the cash to upgrade Hojbjerg/Fletcher to Chadli/Snodgrass
Though it would be nice to know how much money you got ITB
Currently own Hazard and haven’t been able to watch any Chelsea games this season really. Should I be dropping him or is it just a matter of time until he starts scoring good points again?
He has looked ok. But for that sort of money you would want better than ok
Cheers nice one
hi guys,
just managed to read the article, very entertaining one, well done for the contributors :))
Just noticed the number one player in the world (490 points) has already used his Bench boost, Tripple captain and Wildcard chips! :what:
Think I remember this happening last year
Hi Smash. How things going with your team mate? yeah i see these chips are being used prematurely thus resulting in temporary high ranks but the #2 guys has only used his WC like most of us including myself.
Number 8 in the world hasn’t made any transfers…… !! :oogle:
And has got triple Arsenal and double Spurs at the back and captained De Bruyne…….. :oogle:
Is he a ghost team with a high rank?
Similar things happened last season too. I’d be interested to see how successfully he played the chips
I can see the reasoning behind that though. I always kind of figured that winning the league was equal parts lottery and skill. And coming from behind once a template has been established means you’re relying on your ability to pick better differential players every week than 1 or 2 other million people.
For that reason I’ll probably always use my WC early and probably try the TC approach in GW1 or GW2. Once you’re out in front, it’s much easier to ride a good trend than it is to try to pick against a good trend and overtake those places.
Just my thought.
What should i do.???
Bank : 0.2
Thanks for make your time for mw.
How many transfers ?
