Good luck for GW20 from all at FF247!
Hey guys! I ended up with 50 points yesterday, and moved into my highest ever overall rank of 38000. I’m 19th in my ‘Second Half’ league (Raz is first with 63 points). That still wasn’t enough for a green arrow in the Regilars league or in the FF247 league! How did you guys do?
Wow…I am 2 points behind you and 2700 places below you! And also my highest ever rank. Hopefully we will keep on this way in the new year! Congrats on your rank and be sure I will do my best to overtake soon! 😉
well done guys- great achievements!
Cheers hazard! Not too shabby yourself considering you started 4 GW late!!! 😉
Wc activated…suggestions, feedback, critique, scrutiny….all appreciated
Note: due to self-imposed restrictions, I do not field any players from last season’s top four clubs…
Draft 1
Mannone speroni
Blaines Coleman walker shaw Whitaker
Coutinho sterling erikson lallana cabaye
Suarez lukaku adebayor
.7 left in the vault
That is a very big restriction! How did you come up with it?
Just for good fun and banter….the idea started from real life managers often stating they are hindered by not having the funds of the big clubs….and so I challenge my kids and mates each year…
With such restrictions you have fielded a great team. Although i think one expensive defender from Everton shall be enough in form of Baines. Unless you hold Coleman on discount and are not in a hurry to cash in profit.
Exactly. Had Coleman and Baines from day 1….until Baines was offloaded…
+1, I’m also against 3 Liverpool attacking players
If against, who would you be for? And why?
I would do either Sterling or Coutinho out, because all three of them can’t get points unless you expect them to hammer every opponent. Whittingham could be a better option that Sterling, not sure about Coutinho sorry
I agree with opting for one of the two pool mids….but I don’t see who will produce more…Dempsey May be a good option…michu also….
Hey ATF, happy new year.
Some things to consider are Mannone’s playing time now that Westwood is expected back soon. The good thing is that Mannone and Westwood are the same price, the bad thing is obviously wasting a transfer on a keeper if you pick the one who isn’t starting.
Shaw went off at half time with a toe injury, not sure how serious but something to be watched. I was looking at him and Clyne closely today with the WC in mind. Clyne looked pretty reckless when he came on imo, if he plays like that all the time he’s bound to pick up a fair amount of cards.
Adebayor went off injured today as well, he was looking like a great differential though and Tottenham look to be gaining some good momentum right now.
Other than that you’re looking pretty good considering your restrictions. Good luck!
He wouldn’t exactly be wasting a transfer since he’s on his wildcard. Mannone would retain his place for a while do right?
That’s the big question, how long will he keep his place once Westwood is fit? I’m hesitant to pick Mannone in my WC for that reason. I’m also concerned about Gazzaniga and why Kelvin Davis started in his place for Southampton yesterday.
I’m on my WC right now and have decided to go for two budget keepers who rotate well, but I need two that are going to be starting. I have McGregor and Speroni in my first draft WC team because of those concerns over Mannone and Gazzaniga.
RedTV, happy new year to you, mate. Thanks for the input. I’ve had shaw and Mannone since day 1 so i will hold and assess for the time being. I think Mannone will remain first choice…
Thanks ATF.
Mannone keeping his place would suit me, as I’d like to get Josh Ward for a budget defender and I don’t want to double up on CP with Ward and Speroni. Lots to consider before the next deadline!
Any thoughts on my first draft WC team ATF?
Speroni McGregor
Coleman Mertesacker Chester Ward Whittaker
Walcott Toure Cabaye Hazard Mutch
Rooney Suarez Rodriguez
.9 in the vault to ship Rooney out for Aguero when he’s fit.
Don’t want to double up in the back so much so I’ll probably end up with Mannone in for Speroni if he looks set to keep his place.
Hey guys! Please help with my friend’s team.
Szczezney Gazzaniga
Coleman Koscielney Chester Ward DEBUCHY
Livermore Oviedo Yaya Hazard Whittingham
Rooney Suarez Rodriguez.
I think I should change Debuchy to Dawson, since he’s red carded. Is there any better option? I plan on playing wildcard in 2 GWS. Thanks :biggun:
Dawson or Fonte?
Looking at the upcoming GW fixtures.. I’ve got way too much Man City coverage. Who would you swap Negredo for? Some good and viable cheaper, differential strikers options please?
Adebayor?
Anyone know how bad his injury is?
Wild card in play.
I see a lot of posts stating that team value isn’t important but In my opinion this is where the people that worry about team value early on will have an advantage.
I’ve Got 112.6 to spend so can get a few big hitters. How much have other people accumulated?
Sorry my mistake. TV is 112 but have got 109.2 to spend
My first year doing FPL and I read around before the season, plenty of people advised to raise team value in first few weeks so I tried to. My team value is 111.7 with 107.3 to spend. Was planning on holding on to my wildcard to the end of January but concerned will loose out as players may increase a lot in value now wc’s are activated. Are you using your wc now or later?
This is also my first year so I don’t know how it all works, my confusion is that my team value is 110.8m but when I go into transfers and get rid of all of my players my overall value to spend on a new team is only 106.9!
Your team value is the cost your team would take to have with the prices the players are currently at.
The value you have to spend takes in to account the price you bought players for.
For example (false values), I bought Cabaye for £6m. He now costs £6.6m to buy. My team value would include the £6.6m, but the actual amount I would have if I sold Cabaye would be £6.3m (Half of the difference between your initial buy and current price.
I hope this helps.
Thanks flingy so basically if someone’s price goes up by 1m while in your team you would get 0.5m of that
Game Week 21 which goalkeeper would u guys choose ?
