Grab, Avoid or Bore off!
Welcome to another installment of Grab, Avoid or Bore off for the 2015-16 season. As always we will tackle some of the most important questions in FPL, like is your spouse worth having if Pelle was available? After we tackle some of those hard hitting questions we might get silly and answer questions about Ozil, Aguero and others and it how it relates to FPL, time permitting. As I gathered the 3 Amigos this week, I noticed an air of grumpiness in the lads. Well, Kop was grumpy, the other two were their usual self. Come to think of it, grumpy is Kop’s modus-operandi so I guess everything was as expected. Init is forever optimistic, but always willing to lay into someone, Cookie is as always waiting for the other shoe to drop as he is eternally pessimistic about his FPL team and Kop was…well you know. Well enough about them three and how they were feeling and onto something that matters even less, their opinions on FPL…
Ha! I was hoping there would be one of these in the pipeline. Nice work lads, great stuff as always.
Okay, turns out Vardy has a knock and won’t play against Spain.
Mane also down with an ankle injury.
I’m slowly thinking anyone for 5 a side ?
Silvers – right before I played my WC I had 9 flags!! So this feels like a breeze… :rant:
Oh what I would give for a WC. :smiling:
Seems like FPL site is sitting on a goldmine. WCs for cold hard cash.
Evening all. Many thanks to Mito for sorting this and to Kop and Cookie for their answers. Someone did point out on twitter that they’ve yet to come across a live corpse and they may have a point!
What a stiff.
He’s dead to me.
He’s Gomis to me.
Friends, here’s a little chart I’ve put together as a tool as we look at transfers. It’s helped me process a Payet replacement and begin thinking about who to bring in as a Kun make-weight. I posted it last night under the differentials article but I thought I’d throw it on here too. Hopefully it’s helpful. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing it Pancho.
No prob Mito. It’s great to have same names in your article that I didn’t even look at in my assessment!
on second though, wrong guy :/ Cookie wrote that article. whoops :cuckoo:
You see how Mito just took the compliment?
Neither of them wrote the best bit! #michu 😉
Surprised you didn’t ask NIN to do it :hippo:
My helper stuck around, where’s yours gone. Again. Pay peanuts…
Get Texans?
On sabbatical. Think it’s a Texas thing.
Thanks Pancho, great stuff. Can you explain the ‘form’ figure? Is that based on recent FPL points?
I just used the FPL site. I went to transfers and sorted each position by form & then by team selection %. Just compiled it all together from there. Form is basically points-per-game for their club in the last 30 days. Thus, someone like Wijnaldum may be skewed by a random 20+ point haul, but his form will change dramatically in a week or so when that GW is no longer in the last 30 days. That’s also why I put Walcott and Kun as “NA” in that category.
Such a rare and outstanding performance (Wiji) does skew averages a bit but he still achieved it so it’s relevant albeit with a half hearted asterix!
A ha, gotcha. Cheers.
Great stuff Pancho useful chart thanks again mate.
No problem Silvers! I needed something to do while watching Netflix
Cheers Pancho, great stuff – that would of looked great on the differentials article 😉
I would have included it in there…
Had it nor arrived 2 days after the article went live. Keep up Mito
I read it, I had to alter bore off because of it. :finger:
I had a differential segment instead of one word association. #bastards
Glad to see I’m not the only one with a system…
Impressive EBC! Despite us being all things techy on here and twitter etc I’m still a pen and paper man when it comes to planning! Just feels better for some reason.
Looks like a great system EBC! I have found this year as I take FPL seriously for the first time it really helps to have a plan.
Man on fire…
Interesting, Williams scored.
Yikes, he really is turning the screw these days eh?
With 2 free transfers over the break I decided to make one early and not lose anything on Payet so I did him for Deulofeu right away. I was impressed about 3 weeks ago when he had 2 assists to Lukaku but I didn’t pull the trigger. Glad to have him in now!
