Grab, Avoid or Bore off!
Welcome to another installment of Grab, Avoid or Bore off for the 2015-16 season. No better time to put out a semi-helpful article, as we start getting into the tough weeks. You can no longer get away with flying by the seat of your pants (finger pointed firmly at you Mitro) with blanks and double game-weeks, and the chips starting to get used by those that still have them. For long, many have believed that a lot of the higher ranked players are there more by fluke than anything. So as we head down the stretch expect the managers with well thought out plans to start climbing up the overall, so if them managers were truly fluky they will be exposed. So with that in mind, we hope the 3 Amigos of mediocrity can help a little, even if it is by pure chance that they call one right this season.

2FT and 2.9m, what would you do?
Get a Leic defender for Ward as CP have been shit and you have Hennessey too. Save the other FT will be really useful in gw 30
Which teams are confirmed for gw 30?
As of now only two games are certain to go ahead in GW30 and those are –
Leicester v Newcastle
Stoke v Southampton
West Brom just scored
So has Reading. 1-1. That game seems irrelevant because even if WBA are booted out, the chance that Arsenal will win the return in 10 versus Hull is 90 percent. 😉
Watford just scored and if those scores stay the same then that’s 2 games gone from GW 30
Watford play WHU in gw 30.
If Watford win, WHU-Watford is off. With just a few minutes to go we might as well note that WHU-Watford is off.
. It’s 3-1 for Reading, WBA is doomed. There is still a small chance WBA-Arsenal will go through, but Arsenal has to lose in 10 days. Rather not touch those players now. *sighs*
It’s all just 1 big headache.
Sad that west brom have Arsenal that week or else would have 1 game more so Watford vs west ham is cancelled too :/ Time to get 3 Leic and double at back for Saints
1 of Chelsea or Citeh won’t play.
1 of Bournemouth or Everton won’t play.
Reading 2-1 now
If Watford win their game against WHU is gone.
OOPS Daniels missed a peno. Will they change to someone else so do you sell him?
I don’t think any manager changes penalty taker if he misses one penalty
Yeah I would not be surprised if he’s off pens now. Did he take them last season does anyone know?
Hi Smash, they shared them last season between Pitman, Wilson and Kermorgant. I agree with Snookie though, I doubt they change him on the basis of one miss, that sends a poor signal to the next guy. It wasn’t a bad pen, it was a good save, it happens.
100%. I actually think they might sell him after this debacle.
Bournemouth or just some FPL owners?!!! That’d be a bit harsh
T’was tongue-in-cheek
Really need Man city and Spurs to lose tomorrow
I could really do with Spurs losing too but I guess many will have 2 if not 3 anyway so we are all likely to be in the same boat regardless. Can’t say I’m fussed about the other but it’ll certainly shape my next transfers that one. City not playing in GW30 will see many ditch Aguero or at least push them over the edge on that one if they were considering doing so anyway. It may be an odd tipping point though as surely everyone would want him for GW29 regardless.
I kinda hope all teams go through, leaving a despicable game-week for us all to whine about
NIN! Someone to speak to! I got nothing to say though
**thinks of some idle small talk** How’s the new job going mate? The permanent one that is. Better and more settled I hope? What are your plans for FPL this week and what are you doing about Aguero given GW29, that’s if you’ve not already offed him.
Haha, evening buddy. Job is going great, i’m getting the hours i want and there’s no more carnage with rosters and mental weeks. Happy days. How are things on your end, all good i hope..
I’ve already spent this weeks FT, sold Firmino for Mahrez as i had no Leicester cover at all. I’m not selling Aguero unless he gets injured or a worthy DGW dictates it. I’m as interested in that Liverpool defence as i am the Villa crew when it comes to Aguero. If Norwich can put four past them……
Brilliant mate, happy it’s worked out for you, hopefully more of a settled routine for you now which always helps. All good here I think, usual chaos juggling kids, real work and this! Wouldn’t have it any other way though.
Good point on Kun and Pool. You just never know with that pair which team will turn up on the day. I’m probably keeping him also but I’ll have to have a proper look at some stage. Plan here in my mind without really studying my squad is Firmino and Moreno to Mahrez and Huth / Fuchs. Tomorrow’s results may change that though.
That’s true, it’s very hard to predict which way Liverpool / City will perform. Blanks and doubles may change things as you say but for now i’m not even contemplating selling him. Norwich, United, B’moth and West Brom after the Villa game; i’d hate t not have him for those games.
I think I am gonna sit GW30 out.Everyone else is gonna be in the same boat so why stress? Gonna tweak 1 or 2 but nothing major.Why destroy a solid team for 1 week.Got 5 playing up to now but not expecting many more!!
I’m thinking the same, sort of. Guess we can tweak ahead of it given that we have maybe 4/5 free transfers prior to it but I won’t be taking in players who play just for the sake of it if there’s no good reason to beyond that week. I’ll take a blank over someone who will likely grab a 2 pointer and be useless after it and take up the spot of a main player who I wished I then had. Fortunately only 1 of my ML rivals has a WC left and he’s not daft enough to use it that week, although I hope he does
Just to update then…
Given the FA Cup results so far GW30 now looks like this…
Norwich vs Man City – off if Man City win
Aston Villa vs Spurs – off if Spurs win
Bournemouth vs Swansea – 100% PLAYING
Man Utd vs Crystal Palace – off if either win
Stoke v Southampton – 100% PLAYING
(Sunderland v Everton – OFF!)
(West Ham vs Watford – OFF!)
Arsenal vs West Brom – off if Arsenal win their replay (v Hull)
Liverpool vs Chelsea – off if Chelsea win
Leicester v Newcastle – 100% PLAYING
For an easy visual the tracker now looks like this as we stand –
Tracker….
Great stuff Init Thx for the update.
I have 6 100% playing so Villa wining would help (3 spurs)!
About the above topic I agree there’s no valid point on selling your best players for 1 GW specialy if losing money is involved. For me this means not selling Kun, Kane, Payet, Alder, Alli so either spurs lose or a 10 man-ish gw is on the cards. If that’s the case my planning ahead may be restricted to defensive players.
DMC, i’d want spurs to win here.. haha, love the difference in opinions for GW30
Nice one init, good stuff mate. I hope to see more yellow tabs after the games. The more of a nightmare that week is for the casual, the better 😉 :hippo:
Thanks a lot for the info Initt. 7players for me till now.
Currently got 5 guranteed to play!! Will probably bring in at least 2 more! Really really need Spurs and city to lose so I can field 11!!
