If LUKAKU doesn’t score today am transfers him out for Welbeck what do u guys think ?
do it.
Im not that keen jeet. I can see him picking up again. Hes prob a 20 goal a season man atm so im being patient. Did that last time an he got 2 in following game. Hes a decent 3rd striker…as is welbeck tbf. Rvp an rooney back soon tho
Lukaku is a hit and miss u don’t know when he will score next he hasn’t scored in his last 6 games !! what about a punt on Podolski £8.1
Now thats more appealing than welbeck. I can see him swapping with giroud. Good fixts.
The last time there was a mass transfer OUT of Lukaku, he responded with a brace. Here’s hoping history repeats itself.
Jeet-one thing i forgot. Mirallas came back. Since then lukakus goals dried up cos mirallas is a ball greedy twat. Mirallas might be out today. Time will tell
Morning all…So can anyone better my -1 points from yesterday? :stupid:
Morning Kop. Mate, it was a disaster all round. Who have you got left to play?
Hi Blue…still have Coleman, Dawson, Mertesacker, Walcott, Cabaye, Sterling, Lukaku, Suarez (c) left to play!!
How’d you get on?
Kop – 8 points from 3. You’re still in for a monster weekend. I still have Distin, Dawson, Walcott, Hazard, Eriksen, Suarez, Lukaku. Captained Silva unfortunately. A lot of people may benefit from “default” to Suarez as Milky Bar points out below.
Not sure about a monster weekend, but I might manage to keep my head above water!
I’m getting knocked out of the cup by a ghost team…
Kop – yeah, I’m watching my Cup opponent closely. His captain will default to Suarez, so as long as he doesn’t go goal-scoring crazy, I should have him covered (and he’s ranked higher than me so it would be a great result!). Moreover, I simply can’t lose to someone called “Sexy Andy” – a travesty of justice!!!
Kop I did see someone on here that was saying he bad -3 from 5 players playing.. It included a -4 hit but still, it’s harsh.
At least you have Suarez as your cap.. I went roo cap & negredo vice.. Gives me 2 points from my cap. I bet you can at least double that 😉
Hopefully I can do better than double it 😉
How did you manage a negative score?! hahahahahahahahaaha. I mean, sorry Ken
Milky, that’s what happens when you take a 4 point hit for Shrek!!!
Neeeever take a hit over the festive season. I’m a rookie and I even knew that! Rotational risk is the devil here!
I took a hit so I could field a full team!!!
Kop. Just as i thought u an i turned a corner. Im doin ok 12 with 8 comin in from subs. Early transf rams out cabaye in. Not happy as price dictated the move
It’s a good move though Chopper.
Cheers kop. U restored my faith.
Morning Kop…
Long time no speak…
Yeah, it was a Mental Day yesterday…
Sorry to hear about the -1 …Crazy…
Hope things will get better today, for all of us…
:beer:
After a brief discussion with Cookie and Kop on Twitter yesterday I thought I’d put the main point out there on our boards to see what you guys think.
My argument was that Manchester United, although winning their last four games, aren’t really performing well. From a general point of view, that’s fine. Some may argue that it’s what makes a good team, that being able to win games even when not playing your best is vital to finish in the top four or even challenge for the title. My concern from an FPL perspective is that when looking forward to teams that are ‘in form’, the so called ‘Premier League form tables’ do not portray a full picture of how a team is performing.
So the question I put to you is, do you think that results dictate the ‘form’ of a team? Is your view the same as a fantasy manager when compared to a general supporter?
Cookie seems to think that I have a general hatred towards Manchester United, hopefully you guys can clear this up! I didn’t think I did but since I’m reluctant to bring in any of their players based on their data, he got me thinking.
What are your thoughts?
For reference, here is the ‘form table’ I mentioned:
http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/form-guide.html
Well I do hate Manchester United, I’m a Liverpool fan. However, in terms of FPL: the only reason option is Rooney. Cheeky punt could be Januzaj, and if you want to waste money Evra, since he picks up points. Having watched their game yesterday, Evra was USELESS, and still bagged 3 BPs? lol.
Flingy. Not a bad thing hating manu or cookie
i think certain fpl managers get blinded by their fav team/players. Iv brought players in that are in form ie. Playing well but not necessarily scoring. Iv also brought in players that dont look good on the eye ie. Ozil but score.
Answer-Whether a team wins or notvis not good form. Whether a player scores or not is not good form imo. In an ideal world-good form=nice looking play And points to back it up
I can very much relate to that with Ozil, and my friend who joined fpl for the first time yesterday got 3 united players (Rooney, Januzaj, De Gea) because he supports them!
Being myself a United fan doesn’t really blind me. I have Evra and Rooney on my team because atm they deliver FPL wise. All other United players are useless (Welbeck has a weird rise in form but it won’t last?). But being a United fan I find it quite difficult to also have Suarez in my team hoping he plays well and scores points because ultimately I wish he would bite someone again or just plays like Emile Heskey!
United have had good results in the past 4 GW but imo that doesn’t dictate that they are an in form team. Rooney is the only one holding the boat afloat!
So Cookie may have a point because if you only looked at points you maybe would have brought Rooney a long time ago! I do not hate, per say, any other team hence me only trying to go for FPL players that guarantee points regardless of their club!
That’s what makes FPL so painful: cheering for players playing at rival clubs!! So if you pick a player that plays for a rival team it will always be a win-win. Either he scores big and you are happy FPL wise. Or he fails in FPL and then in real life you are happy. Therefore also the need to pick players from your team, the joy just becomes that much intense!! Gotta love FPL and everything around it! FF247 sure contributes to us FPL managers enjoying the game even more!!
All those who captained Rooney, and subsequently have Suarez as their captain are rather fortunate. Some of us took the risk on Suarez at Chelsea, and you blokes who went safe bet Rooney vs. Norwich will reap our risk! 😛
Milky – Ivanovic is playing, and Suarez may still have an appetite for Serbian flesh. My captain’s choice of Silva could still turn out to be a blinder!
blue, Haha, I’ve been to Slovenia, which is close-ish to Serbia. The food is pretty damn good!
Milky-r u the littlest hobo?
Am I a what chopper?!
So this mornings rumour on twitter is that Ozil wont feature today!!
hahaha, this GW gets even funnier
More room for Walcott, and I didn’t captain him!
Arrrgh, Walcott was my VC!
Imo ozil is is well over due a rest.
Kop – not surprised about Özil, expect Poldi to start this match too
I like this rumour a lot!
Before this GW I would never be happy about this but today I am, as I sold him to get Walcott, and I don’t want him getting a brace and me regretting it
Does anyone know if Podolski a 90 mins player ?
i don’t think so. he might play 90 mins over next 2 – 3 games. but when giroud fit again, he will only get 60 – 70 mins average. just like last season.
