Decent gameweek, 68 points. How have you guys done?
Let me inspect your teams. 😉
Decent score that.
Well played Raz, good scoring. Disappointing mid-40’s for me, not happy.
Talk me through captaining Vardy instead of Aguero Cookie.
Home to Hull, we all thought they would smash them, Vardy had scored and played well vs United the week before.
GW1 – Mistake 1
Was a fair punt! He could have grabbed a brace easily!
Good reasoning. So just unlucky really.
Cookie, mid 40’s? So you scored your age? :p
Good haul mate! Well played
Nice work Raz! I’m on 55 points but the real question is, can you beat 27 points sat on your bench?? Haha, oi vey. You know the FPL Gods are laughing at you when your cheap ass 4.0 fifth defender outscores everyone else you started in defense.
Well, on a positive note. Your fifth defender at least started. I figured I’d go with the safest option, Paredes, he did not even play, Hojberg did not start either.
So I have my issues. Was thinking Amat but looking at their fixtures and I’d do better to think again.
Ssshhh Love SUN 4.0
Whisper it quietly
But why looking at fixtures for the 3rd bench anyway?
66 points
Hi Raz,
Decent points for you.
I got 61 points with no CS from my defender and GK.
Gameweek score of 49 which isn’t great! Looking at this team is there anything jumping out that need attention? I’m always one to WC early and always say I won’t do it! Do you think Coutinho, Hazard and Lamela will be better options than Firmino, Oscar and Alli?
Is that your current team or WC team?
That’s my current team MadHatter!
In that case i wouldn’t WC at all mate.
Nothing wrong with that team. Give it some time. You know if you bring all these players in and your original team do the business (which is very likely) you’ll be kicking yourself!
Don’t make snap decisions like i do!
I’d keep Firmino but would consider swapping Alli and Oscar for Hazard and Lamela.
I’m regretting not getting Hazard in now.
Yep me too but Oscar was a good punt and if he keeps his spot he’s a bargain for 7.5!
Hey igy, I have Firmino and Alli as well and while it’s tempting to grab this week’s heroes I’m not planning on making any moves until we see at least another match. On another gameweek both Firmino and Alli could get the points and Coutinho and Lamela could blank. Lamela is certainly an interesting idea though as he had a couple good chances and if he keeps looking good that’s a great option to generate some money and keep Spurs cover.
Hazard is another story though and I think he’s going to be an important player for Chelsea and in FPL. If I didn’t already have him I’d be looking to get him in sooner rather than later!
Hi Red! Thanks for the advice! It’s a tough one and I really have to stop myself from taking points hits, I did it far too often last year! I’d love to get Hazard in place of Oscar but would obviously have to free up funds elsewhere which would likely be a cheap 3rd forward, then look to switch either Alli or Firmino to get the last bit of funds!
Igy, sounds like the best bet is to hold fire and save up that transfer if you don’t have any major problems or injuiries. Once we see another match you’ll have a better idea of the form players and can use your 2 free transfers to make some big moves. That’s my plan anyway. I’m keeping my eye on Lamela and if Vardy blanks again and Ibra scores, I may go Alli and Vardy out for Lamela and Ibra. Really hope I don’t have to though, I’d rather hold onto Vardy and spend the money elsewhere TBH. I think he can keep pace with Ibra points-wise over the season. But only if he’s in form and firing!
Thanks Red! Yeah I think I’ll give it one more week before making any big moves! All three of my mids could easily score in the next game and I’d be kicking myself for using the WC! I’m happy I have Ibra and Aguero up top to start with! I didn’t really consider Leicester players to start with, although had Vardy and Mahrez for most of last season. Will keep tabs on the midfield as I think I have a decent strike force and don’t want the mids to be my downfall.
67 points first week. Pretty happy with that and no major transfers needed for week 2.
I’m close to confirming Mahrez —–> Coutinho tonight. Very close. Profit!
Arsenal are shite though and Mahrez is on penalties. Probably foolish.
Happy with Hazard at least!
Coutinho quite often scores against the big boys don’t he and then blanks against the likes of Burnley
Aye… it wouldn’t surprise me. If so, fortunately he’s got Spurs, Leciester and Chelsea straight after!
Not 100% sure but I thought the commentator said that was Coutinho’s first ever goal from a set piece. Did anyone else catch that?
He scored against West Ham from a freekick last season in the FA Cup. If he was talking about League goals then yeah it was his first I’m fairly certain.
Maybe that was it Admiral and I’m not actually hearing things or hallucinating. Haha, thanks man.
No chance! He’s taken a few quality FKs in the last couple of seasons Red: one 35-yard stunner vs Southampton springs to mind.
Yeah, I thought it sounded strange when I heard it as I was almost certain he’d knocked a couple in at least. Must have been groggy from lack of sleep or something, ha! Thanks james.
I had the exact same thought just before about Arsenal and Leicester, It will probably be another thriller like the Liverpool game
Most likely! Hope not, however, and Kosc should be back to shore things up. We’ll see… Mahrez is a class act after all.
Kingsley automatic sub in
Hell yes
Any one any ideas on who I could transfer out Ramsey for? Looked today and he could be out for up to 3 weeks.
He’s 8.0m and I’ve got 0.5m in the bank. I was thinking Pogba for some sort of United midfield cover, but not certain he’ll start next week!
I think he would have started this week by the looks of Mourinhos mood when talking about his suspension in the press conference
Did he give any hints on position? I’d imagine he’d be in place of Fellaini or Herrera.
You get can get cheaper 3 point DMs than Pogba.
Cazorla.
Do you have spurs coverage ?
Consider Eriksen ?
