Grab, Avoid or Bore off!
Our first installment of Grab, Avoid or Bore off for the 2015-16 season is ready. For those new to the site, it is a simple question and answer segment that covers everything from the serious to the absurd. So why do we call it that? Tradition, is the easy answer as we basically have veered so far off course that we look like a Tiger Woods tee shot. So glad to get the fellas back together as they offer their opinions on everything from going without Haz & Kun to Giroud’s choice of underwear. So without further ado, let’s ask our “experts” some questions on the minds of many and some on the minds of none.
Anyone think this is the year for Barkley or will he have another poor season? Scored a nice goal vs us today.
It could be tough again for Barkley to get regular game time in that Everton mid, adding Cleverly to an already overcrowded position makes a case for ‘too many cooks’.
Guys a good read on Norwich here. Covers the FPL aspect. http://norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/2015/07/18/from-a-fantasy-football-journeyman-a-run-down-on-the-dos-and-donts-of-picking-a-canary-in-your-team/?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed
Great read Mito cheers for this. Not really interested in the Norwich defenders as I have Ruddy for sure. What’s your opinion on the midfield I was looking at Hoolahan but like the article says he might not play week in week out. What do you think of Redmond for Ki or Mahrez??
Or even Johnson at 5.5 as well?
Johnson caught my eye to begin with, but now I will have to monitor Redmond to see if he might be worth a punt on after reading the article.
Are you thinking of bringing him in for GW1 or monitor how he does over the first few weeks??
@MattX, I hate wasting transfers on 5th mids, goalkeepers or 5th defenders. So I hope that if I convince myself to grab one, it is from the start and I don’t feel the need to drop him soon.
Same Mito, 5th non-playing mids/defs or second non-playing goalies are sort of a nightmare. You will always look to get rid.
Ye that is the same with me. I always seem to change my mind over the season though so I’m just not sure what to do right now.
Whys everyone so set on Walcott after one pre season game?.
It’s not really about todays game mate. It was the other day Mito put up a points potential and Walcott is by far the best player and he will hopefully play upfront either with Giroud or instead of him.

All the info is on this page regarding the points per minutes of some of last season’s top performers and how Wally compares to them.
Yeah i seen all the info, but whats changed?. Is he going to play upfront, is he going to be rotated, is he going to play?. These are all still ????’s.
Well hopefully those questions will get answered in the upcoming games. By the looks of it he’ll play alongside Giroud if not on his own up front.
@Ant, I think the excitement is in part due to the hope that he now will start. Frankly I am not sure that it matters as much as people think whether Giroud plays or not. Theo will score points
Even if we don’t project out his last two seasons because a lack of minutes and only look at the 2012/13 season where he played a bit under 2300 minutes his numbers are still outrageous. In fact if we combine his last 3 seasons which is 40 games worth of minutes. We are still looking at 24 goals and 19 assists over that span. If he starts and that is always a big but be it because of injuries or Wenger, he is as close as a sure thing on my team as there is.
Sighs, it this stage I’m at the point I don’t know what to do with my team. HAHA.
At the moment really considering not to have Kun the first 3 gameweeks and maybe play Costa and Rooney.
At team wtihout Hazard and Kun does look heavenly.
Team without Haz/Kun can be with Ivanovic-Wally-Sterling-Chadli-Lens-Costa-Benteke-Rooney.
That looks real strong. So you rate Lens that much?
BTW I was looking at Azpi vs Ivan a moment ago and ran to a surprising result. If we give Azpi similar minutes to Ivan, Azpi outscores him by 2 points. I found that quite interesting and if Filipe Luis leaves I think I am bringing Azpi and saving the 1 mil.
True that Mito. Was thinking the same, but as long as Luis is there I just can’t have Azpi. Such a high priced defender being rotated sucks. Last I heard Ake (another Chelsea leftback-central defender-mid) will move to either Sunderland or Newcastle I think.
Great read as always fellas
Can someone please see where I can improve this team I’m thinking the bench Tbh but then will have to sacrifice kun
Payet over wanyama in first team aswell
Hi Morgy, you got missed on the end of an old article here so apologies. As for the team itself – Aguero probably won’t be available for the first few weeks of the season. Wanyama and Schneiderlin are both effectively defensive midfielders so I’d go and find some wingers or other midfielders with more attacking potential for a similar price.
Morgy, I would agree with Init. I would also downgrade the forward line to get a better midfield. Init, are you well pal?
Yes good thanks Alex, how’s your t-shirt?!
Init, worn out. And Evie loves hers! Team set up well?
No idea Alex, guess I’d best go check where those Auto-complete guys are up to. I hope they’ve been following the articles and advice on here
Init, I thought auto-compete was based on FF247 articles? If so you’ll be sweet 😉
