Newly promoted Burnley looks to drown the Swans with goals, the Pardewites take on the forever parked bus Baggies, Everton and the Spurs face off in what looks to be the marquee game for Saturday. In other action Boro looks to bore us against Stoke, Saints and the Redmond Bandwagon take on Watford and City pounds Moyes and his Sunderland side into submission in the last game.

know that it is too early but would it be wise to drop Batshuayi
We are assuming here that he starts on the bench for the 1st few games
If so then who should I replace him with?
My team is:
Stekelenburg, Jakupovic
Cedric, Kingsley, Simpson, Walker, Nsue
Mkhitaryan, Coutinho, Cook, Mahrez, Lamela
Batshuayi, Aguero, Long
My FT is still in place
Wait till the game is over. We don’t know for sure he won’t start but I doubt it. Depends if Conte plays 2 upfront
I have no idea what was going through my head when I popped him in but Watch, he comes in and smashes a brace, scores big points like the other 2 players that I popped in on the final hour (Coutinho, Lamela)
Keep Calm and Trust Your Gut
He could do the business tonight still
Morning / Afternoon / Evening all,
My plan all along was to go for it with AOA in Week 1 and then wildcard in week 2. (mainly based on the fact i couldn’t be arsed properly researching any of the fixtures other than week 1). Reading through the posts on here though, i’m now thinking maybe i’ll delay for a bit.
I am interested in everyone’s view on Ibra though. I don’t have him in my team and after watching his performance on the weekend, i’m genuinely scared to not bring him in. To be honest i think that was the first time i’d actually watched one of his games for 90 mins. Annoyingly, he looks every bit like he justifies the hype.
So…. Do i take a hit or two to bring him in? Or do i bite the bullet and wildcard? Thought s on both please.
Current team:
Schmeichel / Jaku
Morgan / Valencia / Smith / Paredes / Amat
Ramirez / Sanchez / Hazard / Townsend / Redmond
Vardy / Kun / Gray
Thanks!!
I think your team looks alright. 3 four million defenders maybe a bigger issue but if ur wildcarding soon enough you might get away with it. Paredas won’t play and not sure Smith will
Cheers Smash. Thoughts on Ibra? -8 to get him in and replace one of my 4.0M defs..
No player in FPL is worth a -8 Chins. In MLS maybe given the superior scoring system. Not here though. Yeah I have him and he’ll not be going anywhere soon as I feel those who don’t will slowly be fixing to get him anyway. The slower the better 😉
Cheers Init. I really do love the FMLS scoring. But anyway… your comments haven’t help me in the slightest. So “thanks”
Looks for smiley face thing with his tongue out.
They weren’t really designed to, but you know that, so yeah Bingo 😉
You’re a strange and twisted late night cheese eating individual mr Init. But that’s the way we like you.
Can’t argue with any of that.
Chins, Happy Birthday!!! Again.
If you want Ibra that much downgrade one of Gaston, Townsend or Redmond to Capoue and upgrade Vardy.
Yeah if downgrade Townsend as you can’t do Ramirez and change Vardy to Zlats. However I’m sure Vardy will be out to prove a point against Arsenal so not sure it’s worth the hit
I was thinking that too Smash. But United at home worries me. Surely i can’t go from planning a week 2 WC to holding onto my free transfer?!!? ha!!
Cheers Cooke. I think i might do just that. You think Amat will play again this week to give me 3 starters?
Hope you’ve had a decent first week so far mate. I can’t be arsed to check the league table to find out.
Don’t check the leagues mate! Would I do it? No not personally, think Vardy has as much chance
of scoring vs your lot to be honest, so I’d probably save it, give everyone a second week and go from there next week.
Damn your wisdom Cookie!!! I know you’re right. That WC is burning a hole in my pocket, and i promised myself i wouldn’t ignore any player that showed obvious promise this season (See Vardy, Mahrez etc from last year)..
Like i said though.. A beer tonight and fate will take over. Yep. Leaving decisions to alcohol. What could go wrong.
Other than a repeat of the Obertans. Other than that i mean.
Hi chins, I find early WC strategies a bit odd. One thing is to do it for your plans didnt go accordingly and needs must; but why put In a place a strategy that just wastes it?
I dont see a need to WC other than upgrade your defense but maybe you get away with it for a while.
On the Ibra front it would take a brave man to not go with him. He’s class. And that normally converts into fpl points. You need of course to downgrade one of the cheap mids and looking at them maybe towsend for Fer and Vardy for Zlatan?
I find your face a bit odd.
Only messing. Yeah, downgrading one of the mids does seem to be the consensus. And i suppose there will be many that miss out on Vardys hatrick against the Goonies. Tough call. I think i’ll be left kicking myself if i don’t do something to get Ibra in. I’m worried by the biggest manc of all (Cookie) not getting him though. That big blue lump has got inside my head and i can’t shake it.
Not that tough In my eyes. Vardy is great but he’s no Ibrahimovic. I understand the Kun + Ibra vs more balanced teams conumdrum but not the Kun + Vardy one. If it’s unbalanced , it needs to be the former duo.
Chins, happy birthday, hope you have a good one! You have a nice front 8 but, by going with double Leicester defence and 3 x 4.0m lads, you’ve kinda sentenced yourself to that early WC in my eyes.
It was fine for GW1 but no more. Tap dat button and get yourself the likes of Coutinho and Baines (will kick off soon I think) in as well as Zlatan.
Cheers James,
All this lovely advice is helping on one hand but making it harder on the other. I’ll have a birthday beer tonight and see what happens. Just as long as it doesn’t go the way of a few years ago where i woke up with Obertan in my team.
Chins – happy birthday pal! Get a few jaegers down you and then log in to your team 😉
Thanks Mitro. I’ll explain to Mrs Chins that it was your idea!
Someone say a hit??
Hit for you this week Mitro?
Smash – I want to bring in zlatan but I think Kane could do well this weekend so I’m probably going to shift either gray or Morgan. What you got planned?
Yeah you were on the fence about Zlats. I’m going to try and hold. On 65 points with Hazard to go. I’ll keep an eye on transfers. Think I’m ok with Gray for now. Maybe a bit concerned by Mahrez. My defence is cheap and pretty rubbish though
I have no idea what was going through my head when I popped Batshuayi in but Watch, he comes in and smashes a brace, scores big points like the other 2 players that I popped in on the final hour (Coutinho, Lamela)
Keep Calm and Trust Your Gut
Slow, i have no idea who Batshuayi even plays for!!!
I’m trying to keep calm and trust my gut, but all the stupid thing ever tells me is to go and eat.
Now that Palace have sold Bolasie can they please hurry up and sign Benteke now so I can finally have my three stickers. Agüero Ibrahimovic Benteke is the way to go IMO
Courtois; Ivanovi?, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Kanté; Willian, Mati?, Oscar, Hazard; Costa.
(Ignore those question marks, the C with the accent doesn’t work here haha)
Adrian; Antonio, Reid, Collins, Masuaku; Nordtveit; Ayew, Noble, Kouyate, Valenica; Carroll.
Mon Terry and Costa, cheers TJ, is Fab on the bench at all? Thinking of trebling up on the Blues players if they play well tonight.
Work your magic Oscar!!!
No payet or Cesc!! Is Oscar on pens for Chelsea?
Bloody hope so!
Hazard got to be
Bloody hope not!
Hope it’s Hazard but think it’s Cesc, Oscar, Hazard in that order
No Cesc? Meh!!!
Hazard!!!!! And he looks awesome!!
