Need help!!!! which keeper do I sling for next weekend De Gea V Fulham or Cech V Newcastle ????
Why do you have Cech and De Gea?
Hi, I got 59pts so far, with Van Persie still to play. Here is my squad:
Starting 11:
Szczesny
A. Cole, Clichy, Williams
Song, Y.Toure, Sinclair, Hazard(C)
Pogrebnyak, Van Persie(VC), Suarez.
Subs:
Jaaskelainen, Allen, McCartney, Figueroa.
I want to continue getting 50+pts – what changes do you think I should make?
Probably get rid of Suarez for Tevez is a good start… although I get the feeling you are a Liverpool fan
Get rid of Song immediately.
The rest looks fine, so no need for a points hit.
^This
Ken, Thanks…………. last season I made tooo many rash transfers just in this type situation!!!!!
cheers
the biggest joke is aguero,silva and kompany for only 2 pts,argh!!
could be worse. You might have Michu on the bench.
I had Kacaniklic and Williams on the bench -sigh-
I had McLean on the bench and he got 3 bonus points. Not sure why. He was nonexistent. Cazorla, who i thought was class, didn't get sh*t!
LOOOL how is that even possible?!!? sometimes, the bonus people allocated to people is actually bs! How Michu didn't get 3bps is stupid!
But i have to admit, if I took out Noble+Bale for Williams+Kas, I'd have been much a happier manager
Nice consolation that you made, which I nearly did in having Allen over michu!
all 3? waste of money.
-Tevez 2.5M less than Aguero
-Nasri/Yaya 1.5/2M less than Silva
-Lescott 1M less than Kompany, Zabaleta/Clichy 1.5M less.
Could save 5M+ there.
ha,easy to comment but when you got the money ,how would you know this kind of mad disaster would have occured?
because Kompany and Silva are overpriced. Aguero's injury is bad luck I admit.
this was my team
Frederici
Vlaar Cole A. Hangeland
Valencia Cazorla Michu Yaya
Bent Tevez Graham
(Bench: De Gea Fabio McClean Coloccini)
I've got 60 points with Frederici still to play against Chelsea and Valencia against Everton today.
I took a gamble with Bent and it didn't pay off. I'm very disappointed that Graham did not get much points considering the result. Frederici would have gotten a clean sheet if it wasn't for that…..
Feel bad for Aguero (and I'm a United fan) but I chose Tevez so I'm good.
i am planning to take off A. Cole. I only had him because of the double gameweek and I really don't care what anyone tells me. I just don't trust the Chelsea defense. I'm not sure who to get though? A Sunderland defender or a Swansea defender?
Afterwards, I'll take out Bent if he doesn't deliver at home…
I'm taking off A Cole too. I only had his for DGW, and to be honest if Wigan had a better striker I could've seen them score.
AH! WHY BENT! LOL
but don't get Bent. Although he is a goal scorer I don't see the quality being provided for him to score : much rather have Cisse. Or even Rooney 
I too feel sorry for Aguero and I'm a Man U fan, great striker, it's a shame he's injured. But I too had Tevez haha
SWANSEA defender! tbh, take out Vlaar for a sunderland defender too. I'm looking to replace A Cole with a Newcastle defender after Newcastle game. Having said that, Man Utd have tricky fixtures too, but keeping faith in De Gea
I thought Lambert would benefit Bent's play. Bent is not a great player, but he scores goals.
I'll take him out later if he doesn't do well in the next fixture. I have priorities, and taking Cole out is one of them. Then I'll see what I do with the rest of the squad. I've made one commitment this year: NO POINTS HITS!
I always regret it
I hope Cazorla turns out well. You have Podolski so he better score his chances so Cazorla can get assists.
Lets hope we see a revolutionary United today
Lambert seems a good shout. I like the look of him, reminds me a bit of Holt. Another player I think will be good would be Graham, just unfortunate he didn't get any goals on Saturday!
also, Jelavic.
Yep, no point hits for me neither! Last year had about -40pts! :O but now I'm beginning to be more tactical
and I think after A Cole goes, it will give me spare cash to swap Rooney for RVP (if RVP is getting more game time, etc) or even a swap in midfield for Noble > Pienaar
Cazorla will do good I believe. Will score, but will create more than score. Podolski hopefully will get a good run of games and get the RVP role, but will he be cut out for it? Only time will tell
4-1-5 formation LOL wow I can't wait!
I think Man Utd can deploy a 3-5-2 formation if we had a LWB (Valencia at RWB) with Nani possibly being that role, therefore allowing more attackers in there. It's gonna be interesting how SAF will fit everyone! Rooney, RVP, Kagawa, Valencia, Nani…!! Just hope Kagawa starts for FPL sake LOL 
hello everyone
my team:
De Gea
A Cole, Gorkks, Williams, Clichy, Hangeland
Kagawa, Bale, Michu, Noble, Kascanilik
Torres, Tevez, Podolski
Not convinced with Podolski, or Torres. I've traded Torres for Rooney and going to wait a few weeks for Podolski, while Tevez is staying due to the injury of Aguero. Other than that, seems like a good team for the next coming weeks but any tips would be nice?
Thanks
great team! today, you will see whether Kagawa is worth a place though
Thanks
and being Bundesliga Player Of The Year, he just HAS to start
probably playing at CM, just trying to adapt to that position I think…. But he's definitely subject to rotation so may swap him for Valencia
8 the same as me, so your team must be great
Does anyone see any changes i can make for next week? My current team is
De Gea
Cole. A | Kompany | Vermalen(v) – Coloccini + Shawcross
Kagawa | Larsson | Michu(c) | Lallana – Kacaniklic
Petric | Torres | Tevez
Spare 1m in the bank
IMO, Petric with United away is quite a bad option
would rahter much have Lallana playing. Other than that, pretty solid team. Similar to mine but yours is more concentrated in defensive while mine is concentrated on attack 
not sure. United's defense is plagued with injuries at the moment. I'd wait and see how United do today and then make that decision.
at first i thought Petric was a bad idea this weak, but Man UTD defence…well there was no defense..and he played a brilliant game so i think i may keep him
52 points with De Gea, Kagawa, and then Torres(c), Harte and Cole. A to play agian…a very nice start i believe
started off with 60 points and torres ashley cole and rafael still to play…hopefully ramieres doesnt make it back as at least i have noble to come in…started begovic ahead of vorm..pure gutted with that 90th minute peno
54 points so far with De Gea still to play. Not a bad start. So I have 3 Chelsea players, Torres, Cole & Terry in my team. Im look at trading one this week, and probably another next week, in prep for the GW3. I also have 2 Reading players, so I didnt plan that too well!
Any way who should I transfer, and who should I bring in? I was thinking maybe Terry for Evra or Walker? Any thoughts on that?
Terry for Evra. Not convinced by Spurs defence.
I'm not sure about Utd defense either at the moment. Rio, Evans, Smalling, and Jones injured. Rumors are that Carrick will drop back in the center back position with Vidic.
But then again, I agree with your second statement. I'm not too convinced by Spurs defense and even Chelsea's defense.
Hi so far i have 17pts with Vidic,Rooney, Van Persie to play what do i need to do for week 2 i have Hart,Kompany,Vidic,Vertonghen,Yaya Toure,Dembele,Noble,Miyaichi, Rooney Van Persie,Prog starting team Subs Minolet,Mariappa,Tomkins,Whitehead so could i get help i have no money to spend i have a very bad score i want to get catch up and do wel thanks help would be great.i tought Dembele would have got more points as fulham scored 5
Bro…. one of the guys gave you a solid team to start with on here and you didnt listen one bit! You did the same last year! You ask for help then don’t listen!Now you have put yourself in a bit of a hole.
If I were you, I would make only one transfer this week…. either get rid of Rooney or Van Persie (probably Rooney as I believe he will play deeper) and buy someone cheaper (maybe Tevez) and then next week, transfer a midfielder and use your spare cash to upgrade Miyaichi.
thanks
Should i sell Aguero asap? value will go down fast?
or wait to see how things sort out etc…
?
I will say wait till after the scan result. Aguero already twitted that the injury is not a serious one. Also he is now giving 75% chance of playing.
I have him too and am not in a hurry to sell him.
Aguero, off with knee injury today!!! Not panickin at the MO but should I risk changing him for TEVEZ……….. and does anyone think that RAMIRES will reappear from illness on Wed…….????
i thought tevez would be my differential. Appears I am wrong
So Michu has 1 good game, and everyone suddenly wants to trade their team for him….LOL
Thats what happens in FPL! But if watch highlights he could of had another 2 goals, his touch looked class and swanseas fixtures not too bad so dont blame people wanting to get him in
i don't support knee jerks but people can't help it
I'm also not a knee jerk fan but would be considering Michu for my first sub – other than the fact I've got to sort my Aguero and Ferdy issues first !
thats why i took the risk of 2 Swansea players, they dont play one of the "big 7" until round 9 or 10
You only have 1 Swansea player mate. Nice try.
is Maloney & Terry out for Michu and a 5.5 defender (maybe rafael) worth a 4 point hit
I've made a commitment to not take point hits, but i guess you can.
Chose Cazorla over Michu and Mata over Hazard! Yet again the fantasy football curse strikes me again!
Why do I bother!
Cazorla is a gun. Stick with him… By the end of the year he will smoke Michu in total points.
Hey lads, since Rio Ferdinand is out injured.. Who do ya guys reckon will start at the United's defence in gameweek 2?? Is Evans a safe bet?? Or should I go with Rafael instead? Don't have the funds for Vidic and Evra and I need a United defender.. Any thoughts on this?
I have a narrow 3 point lead against my opponent in a H2H league. What are the odds on me keeping the lead?
I've got Cole, Valencia, Yaya, and Tevez as captain.
He's got Cole, Kompany, Hazard, Silva, Aguero, and Torres as captain
now i really hope chelsea fucks it up
WHAT you are playing me!!!!
hello fellow rival. I wish the worst fantasy results for you
Aguero and Silva screwed up lol. You still lead by 5.
you can always hope torres and hazard do well against Reading. Meanwhile, I'm counting on Valencia and Frederici.
hope Sturridge plays instead of torres
I hope the 5% who selected Green had him as a sub because he is proper shit
LOOOL true that!
May I say i had Michu in my line up for my fantasy football but not on my OTHER fantasy football! ARGHHHH!! D:
Idrees, thankyou very much! i saw all your comments with Michu in your team saying he is your darkhorse etc, and by the deadline he was in my team…THANKYOU! haha
first thoughts:
cazorla is class. if only arsenal had a great striker like RVP….
Michu was worth the gamble
Fulham did pretty well. might get petric later down the road
qpr shows you can't buy a team. hope they get relegated to be honest
liverpool show that they need time to adjust (if they ever do)
norwich might not be as good as last year
now that i think about it, norwich weren't so good last year fantasy wise, except for holt
I didn't get Michu but had Dyer in my team lol.
Michu was my best buy
I had Dyer at first, but made a last minute switch to Michu. However, I had Graham as one of my strikers and I'm a bit disappointed that he didn't get goals or assists. But I'll stick with him for now. I don't fancy Petric away at United at the moment.
I KNOW RIGHT what was Graham doing the whole match?! He scored like 6 times in pre-season.
Glad I bought Michu. I knew he'd be a new and improved Sigurdsson.
Saying that, QPR were absolutely terrible.
Michu was worth the hype. A bit disappointed i took off Prajnic and replaced with pogrebnyak. Hopefully, he scores against chelsea. wat are the odds. lol.
My team for GW 1. Final one but any advice for last minute changes?
Green
Harte, Terry, Hangeland
Downing, Mata, Yaya, Bale
Tevez, Torres (c), Podolski
Subs: Begovic, Guthrie, Coloccini, Clyne
Downing at 6.5 is a bargain IMO.
Good looking team. Yeah i think Downing could be the dark horse this year. I'm expecting him to have a great year. I did have him in my team at one stage but decided against keeing him, as after this week, Liverpools fixtures are tough. But definately one to keep an eye on
And its deadline reached….the teams have been registered
eyy lads really sleepy no more changes apart from now
heres my team lemme know the changes needed
federici subs : jask
lescott a cole hangeland subs : demel , clyne
mata , bale , yaya , guthrie subs : dyer
aguero torres C graham
.5 in the bank
De Gea
Harte | Kompany | Cole. A | Coloccini – (Shawcross)
Larsson | Kagawa | Michu – (Kascaniklic + Lallana)
Cisse | Torres | Tevez
Swap Kascaniklic for Guthrie, Guthrie is at least guaranteed game time.
Which Cisse is that? Remember that Papiss Cisse is likely to have been weakened by Ramadan (like Ba was for the first few weeks of last season)
Also Stoke play Reading which Newcastle play Tottenham… I'd play Shawcross over Coloccini.
i did have shawcross, i put them the wrong way round. and do you even know who Kascaniklic is…….
hahaha Bradley I too have Kascaniklic – looks like I’m gonna get some nice players’ prices being risen!
him + Michu! Just a shame that I had Kasca on the bench :\
During in going Gameweek How can I substitute My Player from Bench into Starting XI..? Plz Help..
u can't. can only change after the current gameweek expires.
yea Idrees. I had Lallana and Kasc on the bench, each got 5 and 8, and my mids Kagawa and Larsson got 2 and 3……..GOD DAMN
Tbh a lot of you giving TERRIBLE advice out there, really
those people are ones who haven't played fantasy epl before
What is your team and what advice would you give?
thb not all are bad avices. There were some people giving heads up on michu prajnic.
WIll Santi Carzola play this week?
Will Bosingwa play against Swansea? Would he be a better option than Ashley Williams? Same price….
Lampard or Mata?
Rooney or Aguero?
is Lampard a definite starter for first two games? and what about Aguero with Tevez and Adebayor on Man City squad?
Who would know with Man City…. Aguero, Tevez, Adebayor, Balotelli & Dzeko…. All very good… I have Tevez in my team, but I might wait and see how Man U line up, or how Mancini rotates his strikers over the first few weeks.
who to play? cuellar or simpson? i've been struggling over this one for ages because both have pretty hard games, I'm just not sure which defence/player will perform better
What are your thoughts on Federici for first preference?
Just FYI, Richards has an ankle injury and is out until September, so Zabaleta is a guaranteed cheap route into Manchester City's defence.
Hmm do you think Mancini will play 3-4-1-2 or switch back to a back four?
Is Kagawa likely to start for United? And if so, where? Would it be worth trading him out for someone else?
Does anyone have an idea of how Mun U will line up against Everton. I want to trade Santi Carzola for a united player, but who is a dead set certainty to start in their midfield? Valencia?
If I was u, I'd keep Cazorla. None of the Man U midfielders are 100% guaranteed a spot and Everton is their bogey team (most likely be low scoring affair), On the other hand, Cazorla is playing a defensively weak Sunderland and he has a share of set-piece duties with RVP gone.
Hey all…..
After weeks of deliberation and many changes, this is the team Im running with for GW1….any thoughts please
Krul (Begovic)
Hangeland, Clichy, Cole (Harte, Cuellar)
Yaya, Michu, Lampard, Kagawa (Noble)
Torres, Aguero, Pogrebnyak
Ale – I reckon Nolan and for what it's worth you haven't spent enough on you first choice keeper
Lyons – C/R every time, at least I hope so that's who I've got!
Still hoping someone will give me some Defoe thoughts – first choice, good team, good striker 7.5m
Will they play Defoe up top though? Or will they put Sigurdsson/Van Der Vaart in that role instead? Remember that Defoe and VDV competed for the same place last season.
changed my team looking for some advice i think my midfield is abit weak what do yous think? My team is
Cerny, Krul
Barnett, Stam, Zabaleta, A. Cole, Gibbs
Neville, N. Dyer, Yaya , Mata, Noble
Torres, Tevez, Van Persie
Any suggestions would be much appreciated thanks.
Personally, I think maybe you should drop tevez and bring in a top midfielder, since he's not guaranteed a start and 95% won't play the full game. I would recommend bale or silva as a replacement
I am freaking out right now! Please help!
Mata/Hoilett or Cazorla/Ramires?
And
RVP or Rooney?
Mata and Hoilett. At least they will likely start. Cannot see Ramires getting a start for Chealsea this week…
Hey guys, just two quick doubts.
Who should I start?
Jaas or Green?
McClean or Noble?
Thanks!
Not sure he 'll start but Sir A will want to give him some game time before his first start at OT. What about Defoe – am I mad ?
well will Van persie play against Everton for Man United
Am I the only person that thinks Defoe is a good call bound to start every week and spurs have a good run after gw1 ?
Hello again i have changed my team it is Hart,Minolet,Kompany,Vidic,Vertonghen, Mariappa,Tomkins, Yaya toure,Dembele,Noble,Miyaichi,Whitehead, Rooney,Pogrebnyak, Van Persie who should i start with what do people think i would love a team to get of to a good start not a bad one like the last one
So after Wasting 4 Hours, this is what my squad looks Like
Frederici, Jaas
Lescott, Williams, Hangeland, Barnett, Clyne
Kagawa, Bale, Hazard, Sinclair, Guthrie
Pog, Torres, Aguero
Still unsure about Kagawa. With RVP likely to play against Everton, I dont think he will be playing that front
Also Sinclair, is he a good bet ?
Please help. Thanks, Cheers
Hi Gentlemen!!!
What do u guys think bout my team??
Any suggestions welcome!!!!
GK-Cech(Vorm)
DEF-Ivanovic-Zabaleta-Hangeland(Skrtl,Harte)
MID-VdV-Kagawa-Michu-Noble(Allen)
FORW-Teves-Torres(c)-Petric
Hope to finish better than last year (385 000!!!)
This is my second season as FPL manager!!!
Thanx in advance
GOODLUCK TO ALL IN GW1
you have too much on your goalkeepers and defenders ! why to include gk of 5.5, if you are to bench him. the same for skrtel ! instead upgrade your mid. goodluck !
-Kagawa(8.5£), Valencia(9£) or Yaya Toure(8£)?
-Michu(6.5£) or Sinclair(7£)?
-Pogrebnyak(5£) or Petric(6£)?
I have 20.5£ to spend..what do you think is the best possible combination?
Thanks.
YAYA-MICHU-PETRIC!!!!!
Now Yaya or Sessegnon? :p Same price..
sessegnon has a small injury i believe…
Think more or less got my team, just would love to know the starting centre backs for spurs?? any ideas???
Current team atm…
De gea (cerny)
Walker Hangeland Lescott (Gorkss Clyne)
Ramires Yaya Toure Noble Bale (Britton)
Aguero Graham Rooney
Would like to downgrade walker to kaboul or dawson depending on whos going to start then i can upgrade toure to silva or ramires to kagawa next week.
Thanks
Same, Vertonghen is pretty much nailed on, the other spot could also be Caulker who had a great season last year but we'll see.
Rather annoying, there were rumours of Dawson being made club captain but I havent heard anything so you would think as skipper he would start! So who nos…. ha mayb the site will crash again after the first week so we get more free transfers and know the starting lineups
FYI i just did get a notification from my fpl app on my phone saying the FPL site my crash, so take that into consideration.
Well apparently Dawson isn't in the squad so looks like Kaboul should have it
NIce buddy where did u see that? the extra 1mil will defo come in handy
cheers
Finally done with my team…phew!!!
Schwarzer
A.Cole(vc)/Zabaleta/Gorkss
McAnuff/Bale/Nzogbia/Ramires
Aguero/Torres(c)/Graham
Bench:Green/Piennaar/Williams/M.Dawson
Bank:1.5
Please rate my team.Thank you.
You have five players not playing in gw3, might not work out, remember if reading concede two then they start to lose points
I have made all the planning for it….
Whats this 4 oints everyone is talking about?
After week 1, you only get 1 free transfer a week, if you want to make more than that it'll cost you 4 points off your teams core for that week.
i have one midfield place left to fill and i have £8.5mil in the bank. But i'm not feeling Kagawa!!!
Please Help!!
Dembele or Noble maybe and have some funds left over
Nasri!
i already have 3 City players.
current midfield is :- Pienaar; Yay Toure; Allen & Tiote on the bench.
Don't have Tiote, hes not a good fantasy player. Sessegnon for 8.0 is a good shout after this week apart from that theres not too much until you hit 6.5 (hoilett, walters, michu)
Sess is a good shout this week, Arsenal started horribly last season and I have the feeling they'll do the same again. My only concern for him is that he is currently injured and only has a 75% chance of playing.
Alternatively, I would recommend Arteta (as an Arsenal player I could never buy him, but he gets the job done, and as vice captain it is fair to assume he will get game time), Oscar (though he is a rotation risk), or anyone from the 6-6.5 crowd (Hoilett, Holman, Song, Dyer, Larsson, Michu, Snodgrass)
Actually, don't get Song. Looks like he's heading off to Barcelona.
Under pressure now with deadline day tomorrow im panicking under pressure
so i need your best thoughts and changes i could make to help me out please.
DeGea and Jaaskelainen for cheaper keeper
Tierney, McCartney Vlaar Vidic Harte
Valencia Bale Yaya Toure Allen Walters
Van Persie Borini Maiga
Players im unsure of
Harte
Tierney
McCartney
YY Toure need replacement dot know who
Allen i hear he wont score much playing deep in the midfield
Walters a big risk or not should he stay or should he go or is he too dear for a bench player if so i was thinking Leon Brittion or Guthrie
Players i need out
Van persie i dont know why but im not sure to have him in in his first game maybe a GW2 Player i am thinking of as replacement Agureo Rooney or Rooney[if feeling risky] who else do you think Would score high week in week out long term?
Valencia who to bring in Nani Hazard Mata maybe Silva but he would come out when cups come along
Maiga i just dont know him enough never really heard of him before ?
