When the creator of last years league makes a team, we should all automatically be put in the same league as last year.
There's some interesting chances this year with "chips" involved.
One chip gives you triple captain score, another gives you all your bench playing while a third gives you a 2-5-3 all out attack formation. Wildcards count as chips and you have two. One this year and one next.
You can't play more than one chip a week. Lots of new tactics will come from this!
Good luck everyone!
PS dirkdiggler, if you want my advice this year, you just need to ask ;)
The league code for fanfooty is 32008-141017
Do Chips work like wildcards, as in you can only use them once a year? Not one a week right? aha

Yep just once!
Interesting. I, very much like you Spite tried keeping on but instead of just a few weeks of not looking (I gave up completely) whereas you came back and finished very high last year so kudos to you.
Think I might be more intrigued this year. Wouldn't mind if I took part would you??

Would love it mate! If the original creator of last years league doesn't play this season, then I'll be happy to make a new FF league :)
For those wondering about Sportal's EPL game they've teamed up with Real Dream Team under that banner.
Game has added a few features and will launch a EPL style draft version as well I believe.
along with having an eliminator competition.

RDT EPL last year was so meh, they should have capped the amount of players available from the same team I think...i had like half of chelsea at a stage...

Anyone got some tips on what bench players/cheapies to get?

Look for new signings in clubs that are generally down the bottom of the table. Those players are usually fairly cheap and should get a lot of game time. Youngsters from top clubs that go out on loan to lower clubs are always good to look at too. I guess just keep an eye on pre-season as well to see if anyone is going to have a breakout season as well.
Signed up, any tips on players I should pick? Kind of just based my picks off the percentage of teams players are currently in.
I'm only a casual follower of the Premier League. When are final lineups usually announced by teams, is it just before kickoff? eg. Do you need to be tracking lineups right up until the final minutes before the deadline each week?

Roughly 58 mins before kickoff. Round locks 1 hour before kickoff. It's not the same as AFL, you will go into the round completely blind which is why you need to know who is 'nailed' on to play (nailed being certain starter)

Chadli and Henderson at 7.0 are considered bargains, as is Sakho at 6.5 as a striker. Benteke at 8.5 could be, depending on how he fits in at liverpool.
Guns that you should start include Hazard and probably Rooney. Aguero is 50/50 for gameweek 1 but if it looks like he is playing, then its best to start with him as he is hard to get in being the most expensive player in the game by a mile.
There's also a whole bunch of good value 8.5 mids, one will be awesome, it's just hard to know which ones.

See above, but also don't forget wanyama at 4.5, deeney/wilson at 5.5 as strikers for the promoted sides.

They haven't launched it as yet.
Just look in the Help Menu, under What's New in 2015/16 and it def says All New Draft Style game.
would think it'd have to launch by the end of next week.
Going for depth this season so I don't have to burn the Wildcard early this season
Latest Squad in FPL at this stage is.
Courtois (Adrian)
Fonte, Clyne, Richards, van Aanholt, (Reid)
Silva, Ramsey, Wijnaldum, Milner, Albrighton
Aguero, Sakho, Rodriguez
If anyone needs a league in RDT EPL, PM me as we are looking for players who finished top 50 last year. I actually won it last season and we are trying to create a superleague of guns from last year

I can't turn down hazard. Hwve hazard, Ramsey then Milner and Henderson as bargains. That's my starting mids.
I'll be the first to post my team up I guess. Let me know what you guys think.
(http://i61.tinypic.com/e18f9g.png)
I'm actually quite happy with this. I think I've hit a pretty good balance.
Solid looking start up Chelskiman.
I am looking at:
Mignolet; (Speroni)
Jagielka; Clyne; Fonte; (Francis; Prodl)
Hazard (C); Mane; Yaya (VC); Payet; (Redmond)
Giroud; Kane; Deeney
Just two more tips:
Don't spend more than 9.5m on keepers. Keepers all score basically the same amount of points, there's no point spending excessively on them. If you have a 5m keeper or more, you'll never play the other one so get a 4.0 one.
Or get two 4.5s and rotate them based on fixtures.
Have a contingency plan to get Aguero. He's 13.0 and if he starts to fire, you'll need to get him that round. If you don't and he goes big (which is often) then your season is pretty much done. Usually to do this you'll need a striker that's at least 8.5m otherwise you just won't be able to free up funds.

So do I with Aguero, start him on your bench, you don't need to be wasting transfers on getting him in. Just make sure you have depth in your forwards to help cover him.
For the veterans that play regularly, do you try and avoid the -4 for extra transfers as much as possible or do you try and use it tactically, regularly throughout the season?
Generally tactically. Especially if getting players in for double game weeks.

Yeah, it looks pretty solid. I did have a team with both Aguero and Costa up front, but it was much weaker in midfield. This team is obviously strong in midfield, but weaker in attack. Not that Costa is a bad pick, but there's always the worry of not starting Aguero and having to find a place for him later. You don't wanna get stuck chasing points early, but other than that I think I have a decent balance to my squad.

I think it's going to be a tough ask for him to repeat what he did last season. He'll still bang in the goals, but I'm not sure he offers any real value. His price is refelctive of his performances last year, but I personally think he's over priced. He was great last year because of how cheap he was.

Courtois (Schwarzer)
Clyne, Fonte, Janmaat (Lescott, Baker)
Hazard, Cazorla, Chadli, Henderson, Wanyama
Costa, Kane (Deeney)
1.0 in the bank to spend.
Any thoughts? Pretty generic with a few thought picks. I can't see an immediate trading plan but i honestly can't see how you can predict these things when there are just too many factors to consider.
@Powerman
Don't think anyone is starting him so it may not be a bad strategy as when he starts to play and everyone trades him in, he will go up in price making him even more expensive. On the flip side, if he's out for more than a week then you're effectively just leaking points.
An idea is to start rooney and Costa and have money in the bank to make the switch when the time comes.
@rusty
Try not to take hits. The winner last year took no hits at all. If you do, only do it for a double Gameweek player or if you're a few dollars short of aguero/hazard and can't wait a week. Most of the time it's not worth it to cover a one week injury and the general rule is don't take hits for defenders - on average you'll lose points!
@Luigi
Solid team. Id spend the 1.0 on deeney to sakho and play 3-4-3. Sakho is the focal point of west ham so besides his tough round 1 opponent, he should snag a few goals early after that with their nice draw.
@chelskiman
It's a good team you've got for value for money but the lack of flexibility up front will cause you issues. How do you get in a giroud, lukaku, benteke or pele if they start hot? How will you work in Kun when he's back?
Costa La Vista!!
Cech (Guzan)
Mertesacker, Distin, Skrtel, Cedric (Bassong)
Hazard, Yaya, Cabaye, Milner (Richie)
Costa, Benteke (Agbonlahor)

Guzan, (Speroni)
Clyne, Jagieka, Fonte, (Morgan, Ward)
Hazard, Henderson, Schneiderlin, Carzola (Wanyama)
Aguero, Rooney, Agbonlahor
thoughts?
I'm in again boys team name is happytimes. Will post my 1st cut shortly. Would love to comment on teams above but truthfully have no idea
Cech ( speroni )
Clyne, Shawcross, o'shea, ( rose, cresswell )
Hazard, ozil, mane, Ritchie ( Ki Sung )
Costa, lukaku, Bojan
I'm fairly happy with my mids and forwards, maybe a question mark over Bojan, I just got a feeling if he's fit and ready that he might be good value.
I like to set and forget my keepers, would normally have 4.0 @ speroni but had .5 left over 10m on keepers
And gone 3 x 5.5 1 x 5 and 1 x 4.5 on defenders with no Chelsea, arsenal or Manchester players

You've chosen two keepers who may be second choice come game week 1. So keep an eye on them. The teams ok but villa will sign a striker so you may need to upgrade agbonlahor. Schneiderlin is a pretty defensive player so not sure he's a great FPL pick.

Cech is an arsenal keeper so you've got the cover there anyway.
I don't mind the bojan punt, it's a punt after all. Other than that it looks strong, would just consider a different defender instead of shawcross.
Take the 0.5m from your second keeper and get azpi at 6.0 from chelsea in defence.

Yep your own comments nailed it. Giroud even isnt a sure starter at this point, will have to wait to see how they play the Community Shield. Walcott could be the striker this season. Benteke a good option at the same price, lukaku a little cheaper, also good option. Very balanced team, nice.

I know it's ok to start the season that way but have a contingency plan. If your scenario is Aguero or no Aguero, always choose Aguero! Have a look at Man City fixtures from Gw4 to Gw10. Ageuro will be captain for 50% of teams in GW4. Chances are he will score, and maybe more than one. Then you're chasing!

Had a bit of a play around. Not sure if the team is stronger over all or not. Also not especially happy with my bench, but not a great deal I can do if I want a strong first 11. I have 0.5 in the bank, so not much room to move there either. Anyway, thoughts?

Not at all, especially if Aguero does miss the first game. If both stay fit for the year they'll be 1 and 2 for points scored as a striker, easily.

Agreed, I kind of like this idea too.
@Chelskiman
Team looks pretty good. Would downgrade second keeper to Hennessy at 4.0 and use the extra cash to upgrade graham or Ki to Ritchie and Cabaye to Hendo/Chadli/Tadic.
Consider the Costa/Rooney to Aguero trick above too
Hate to be THAT guy, but in all seriousness, what's all the hype about Aguero? I mean yeah sure he's been a proven scorer; but why base your team around him or come up with contingency plans from now? It's a fair chunk of money. Others can score such as well, and there's no saying he's gonna be the god that everyone expects.

No problem, you can ask!
He's scored more than 200 points in 2 of the last 4 seasons, not including 156 in 2013/14 where he played only two thirds of the season. Basically, his points per minute/game is far far far superior than any other players in the game, including Hazard. Hazard plays all the games and scores ~200. Aguero always gets injured/misses games and still cracks 200. In FPL, captain choice is vital. You can lose so much ground by picking the wrong captain choices. If you have Aguero, you have that captain option that pretty much never lets you down. You pay the premium knowing you can whack your C on him and he's going to net you at least 12 points.
If you don't have him, you have no one as reliable as him to make your C and you end up chasing points. Not only that, because he is so expensive, he becomes relatively unique each season. This always separates the casuals from the real players. There was a stage last year that the top 100 all had Aguero and 99 had Kane. If you didn't have Aguero, you didn't do well, it was as simple as that!
EDIT*
From last season:
Haz points per minute is 0.069
Kun points per minute is 0.085
That's just crazy considering they are clear 1 and 2 point scorers from last season.
Note: Kane just edged out Hazard on PPM, but he is relatively unproven so obviously high risk high reward
The Real Dream Team Draft game launched yesterday...
http://epldreamteamdraft.virtualsports.com.au/
Hmmm. I just really don't like our fwd options this year.
Its always tough to pick a player that only recently signed during the summer. (Benteke)
We don't like injury clouds. (Aguero)
And we usually don't like uncertainty over JS. i.e. competitions for spots/goals/points. (Giroud)
Overall team form, firepower and goal-scoring ability through quality playmakers in support is also an issue. (Berahino, Lukaku)
Order it by Price: Aguero, Costa, Sturridge, Rooney, Kane, Giroud.
by Points: Aguero, Kane, Costa, Pelle, Berhaino, Ings, Lukaku
by Selections: Costa, Kane, Benteke, Rooney, Berahino, Lukaku, Aguero, Giroud.
And then there are your more unique ones too.
Anyone else agreeing with me? Any ideas on how to overcome the uncertainties, and which are the best factors to focus on or ignore?
I think with Aguero, if you do start him and he gets injured you can simply trade to any other striker you want. It's easier to trade down than to trade up. If he starts on fire and you miss his points you will want to bring him in, and that could take a couple of weeks of trading if you don't have the coin in the bank to get him in right away. If he does get injured, you can trade down, bank the coin and then when he comes back just bring him back in.
I do somewhat agree with you Luigi as it's a huge amount to pay, and it can weaken other areas, but I guess you have to weigh up whether it's worth having him as he's pretty much odds on to be a top 3 forward or if it's worth having a bit of extra money to strengthen other areas of your team.
I've had like 4 teams so far which have included Aguero, included both Aguero AND Costa and then one without Aguero. I think I will be personally starting with him though at this stage.

Agreed. Except he will not just be a top 3 forward, he will be a top 3 player overall, most likely. And if he doesn't last the whole season, his points you gain when you have him will be immense.
I'll certainly be trading up to him via rooney or benteke.
@Luigi
Yes, you are kind of forced into picking Rooney, Costa, Benteke, Lukaku, Pelle as the "premo" forwards and then sakho, defoe, wilson, deeney etc as the cheap ones.
You can't safely pick all 3 from the cheap basket and picking 2 from the premo basket gives the flixibility to get in Aguero sooner.
Hmm yeah gee definitely all good points. Oh so tempting, starting almost to seem like a no-brainer when you put it that way.
But just have to wonder if Costa/Rooney can pull out a ripper season and for 2.0 cheaper too. they're the glorious questions of fantasy epl

Ever since Suarez left EPL its been tricky ;)
Hazards ownership is up to 54.4%. Hard to see his price rising above current price.
Tempted to leave out Hazard to start with and hope to catch him when he's cheaper

Yep wouldn't think he would increase, but if he starts well, you'll be playing catch up on his points!
Price changes allllwaaaaays trip me out in this, will give it a try nonetheless!

i'll be honest. it is almighty tempting. and i'm thinking why wouldn't they start him! him alongside Berahino would be deadly and Lambert is a proven scorer.
Early days but from this it sounds like they'll play together.
"I think me and Saido Berahino up top will be a great partnership and that is another reason why I am looking forward to being a West Brom player."
I'm on!
Been so out of the loop with EPL for the past year, gotta get back into seeing as I've decided to do fantasy.
Might have to do some research as opposed to just going for players I know. :P
Okay, so I just made a quick draft of a team, let me know how good or bad it is. Tried to look at some value for money.
Fabianki (Krul)
Ivanovic, Clyne, Dann, Alderweireld (Huth)
Hazard, Chadli, Schweinsteiger, Cabaye (Afellay)
Costa, Ings (Vydra)
Costa in doubt for GW 1 :-[ :-[
Quote from: Luigi197 on August 03, 2015, 05:58:02 PM
Costa in doubt for GW 1 :-[ :-[
I'm happy to play Vydra, I'm fairly sure he'll be scoring most of Watford's goals.
Even though he has had a good pre-season, Ings won't start in PL unless Benteke/Sturridge are injured or rested, I'd look to swap him man.

Not bad, Fabianksi rotates well with Schmeichel if you want to choose him over Krul.
Ings wont play and Vydra is probably going to come off the bench as Deeney is generally a lone striker. I'd also change Schweinsteiger because he's not a good FPL prospect but hes a good player... Afellay could probs become wanyama to give some more certainty.
If you want some other cheap options, Ki/Mahrez are 5.5, Sinclair is 5.0
Sakho is 6.5, deeney/wilson are 5.5
Cabaye picked up a knock and is in doubt for GW1
so this fwd line is really giving me the shizzzz. i'm thinking atm:
Start with Rooney, Kane, Lambert (and 1.0) . relatively safe picks as there are no doubts over starting XI or fitness.
See how the first couple weeks pan out.
Then be prepared to switch Rooney and Kane into any Combo of Aguero+Pelle or Costa+Benteke or Lukaku. etc.
Thoughts? yay nay?

Rooney will be back to playing as an out-and-out striker so is a good option whilst Kane has a good set of early fixtures (after ManU in GW1). I don't follow the Premier League closely enough though to know what Kane's chances are of backing up his outstanding debut year.
You definitely need to have a plan to get Aguero in early though.

Yep this looks like the standard plan man! There aren't actually many other combinations you can run with unfortunately.
Made a few changes after reading the replies, consulting a few mates and reading some articles.
Fabianski (Schmeichel)
Ivanovic, Richards, Dann, Alderweireld (Huth)
Hazard, Milner, Mahrez, Wanyama (Cabaye)
Rooney, Pelle (Wilson)
The doubts of Costa and Aguero suck, but I'll look to bring either in asap.

Yep wouldn't think he would increase, but if he starts well, you'll be playing catch up on his points!
I've left Hazard out of my current team, I have other captaincy options (although Costa is one!!) so don't see me loosing to much without him so long as my cheaper alternatives live up to my expectations.
If this fails there is always a wildcard or the $4.0M I have sitting in the bank so won't be hard to get him back in.

Looking much better!
Cabaye is still in a slight doubt for GW1.
I have no idea why Fanfooty is all over Cabaye, his stats have not been very appealing! Pay 0.5 more to get a hendo/milner/chadli/tadic!
He's really good, decent price and Pardew can basically make Palace revolve around Cabaye.

Jay Rodriguez missed all of last season for Southampton not sure if he's back right away but definitely will get the spot in front of Pelle if he's okay to play. However last year they played 2 up front when Rodriguez played it was only 1 but with CAM

Jrod won't start as his fitness isn't up to scratch. They have played him in some friendlies to get his fitness up and he started as a high wing, still behind Pelle. He won't displace Pelle but play with him

meanwhile your midfield is sorta uncertain. i.e. Schweinsteiger and Schniederlin at new clubs, the same one at that, with role and hence fantasy output not known for sure.

And gone 3 x 5.5 1 x 5 and 1 x 4.5 on defenders with no Chelsea, arsenal or Manchester players
Have had a bit of a change around decide its best to start with Aguero, just to hard to get him in otherwise.
Cech / Courtois ( Hennessy )
Clyne, Mertesacker, O'shea, Azpilicueta ( baker )

Team looks good. Wouldn't go baker as the 4.0 options, Steve Taylor or Targett (first few games) probably have better chances. O'Shea to Huth as you don't have Leicester defenders just for some added JS and you're probably set to go!

From my limited knowledge of the game a players price changes once he is transferred in or out a certain number of times for that week. Price changes can occur every night including last night up to a maximum of 0.3M each week.
Spite or another regular player will have to confirm that.

Correct, no one knows the formula as they change it every year but its based on transfers in/out and price.
fplstatistics.co.uk usually show when prices will change and its about 11am our time
As an example the 1st price rise may be after 15,000 net transfers in, second at 40,000 and third at 100,000. Same in reverse for price drops.
Also Nigey, I cringed when I saw that you wrote you traded out Mahrez. Ouch!
Courtois has already been traded out by 21,569 managers so we know the figure for the 1st price change is more than this ;)

My team was set for a while, the only last two day changes I made were, Vardy in for Lukaku, Vardy out for Benteke, Sterling out for Mahrez, Rooney to Kun, then back to Sterling and Rooney in and a switch from Westwood to Bentaleb. Very last decision was Courtois out for Ruddy!

I went the opposite way, I'm glad Ruddy didn't grab a clean sheet or that would have really stung.

Also Nigey, I cringed when I saw that you wrote you traded out Mahrez. Ouch!
Should have stuck with my gut instead of listening to my mate. :P
I think and hope Sigurdsson will be better in the long run.

Only good thing to come out of it was crystal palace winning
How did people go this week? I scored 41, how good/bad is that? It's a fair way above the average score.
I had a shocker
why pay the big bucks
Aguerro Capitan 2 points
Sanchez 1 point
Hazzard 2 points
and i had Richards on the bench with 8
Did A.Williams -> Coates and Yaya -> Sterling just before lockout.
So many regrats

Got 39 which was slightly above the average.
But yeah, most of the players expected to score well didn't do that great in GW1.
Finished with 30 points of which 15 were from Mahrez my last minute inclusion that I knew nothing about :o

After his red, i traded Courtois to Adrian before price changes so we'll see how that goes :-X :-X

Think Adrian is the best choice here. Nicely done. Although holding Courtois is an option for those with two playing keepers
So when are we looking at price changes occurring?
Considering jumping on Mahrez, but dammit Gomez is tempting haha
Scored 49 with YaYa's 16 ;D

Hmm, thinking I'll hold my transfer and save it for next week. That, or drop Walcott for Mahrez to free up bulk funds (cheers Spite for the idea haha)

Watched the arsenal game, Sanchez when he came on was by far there most influential player I would not be too concerned about him and Aguero didn't start.
I went sterling over Yaya because I have a app on my phone that told me he was out injured for the next 2 weeks
Can't believe I missed the start of this. Had a huge few weeks and totally forgot all about it, even with watching some of the EPL and highlights.
Team on field is
Adrian
Clyne, Skrtel, Mertesacker
Yaya Toure, Hazard, Fabregas, Barkley
Benteke, Rooney, Sakho
Thoughts????

If you are just starting this week, I'd probably go for...
Adrian, McCarthy
Gomez, Muniesa, Huth, Francis, Oxford
Hazard, Sanchez, Silva, Mahrez, Westwood
Aguero, Gomis, Sakho
Just basically get all the big guns who will probably rise over the next few weeks as they will be hard to fit in when all the prices start to change. Probably not the best idea to double on Man City players for this week, but could easily do Aguero to Benteke (vs Bournemouth) and then just hold the cash until the start of the gameweek and then upgrade him back to Kun

yeah not yet. no one player's form is determined after one game. put faith in the guys you've chosen. if after say 4-6 weeks none of your players have any form, then i'd consider wildcard.

In other news, the aguero train has left the station, should rise in price tomorrow so all aboard!! Fair play to take a hit (-4 points) to bring him in

Oh damn. :-\ I'm still annoyed over my whole Mahrez thing. :'(
I hope not to take any hits, its a risk in itself but if you plan well its definitely viable
made some knee jerk moves and realized i shouldn't have done 3 so - 8 which i know is stupid
so do i just leave that (didn't get aguero either)
or play the wildcard?
out of curosity
if i played that now would i then not lose the 8?
If you played the WC I believe you wouldn't cop a -8 mate. And if you still don't gave Aguero I'd look at WCing it

This. You need to get him in so that'd be another -4. Once you're at 5 hits then you may as well WC, and I am sure you can find another few changes to make! Good luck!
Starting with Aguero starting to pay off, unfortunately he was the only one that did anything this week
Got Yaya and Mahrez today before price rise too. Had 2 freebies.
yeah thanks chaps i played it
so went
cech > romero
huth > oxford
sterling > Yaya
henderson ? mahrez
Sahko > Gomis
Roony > Agureo
what do you guys reckon
Adrian (5.0) - out for 3 games
Fonte (5.5) - conceded 6 goals
Hazard (11.5) - done nothing
Henderson (7.0) - done nothing
Cazorla (8.5) - done nothing
Rooney (10.5) - an 'assist' but really not convincing
Kane (9.5) - spurs relying on him and not living up to it at alll
Lambert (6.0) - done nothing
Janmaat (5.0) - out for 1, conceded 4
Meanwhile, there are players like Kompany, Yaya Toure, Mahrez, Lukaku and Aguero who i DON'T have.
I could wildcard.
Or i could chill for a moment. and just 3 trades to sort out Adrian, maybe get cash from Hendo to Mahrez, to then trade Rooney to Aguero. all for -8..

I am all against using your WC this early... but I can only see one player I would retain that you mentioned... think it may be time to pull the trigger!
Haz, Sanchez, Payet, Mahrez, X
Kun, Gomis, X
Would look nice! (not sure if possible)
Current team:
Adrian (McCarthy)
Clyne, Williams, Fonte (Janmaat, S Taylor)
Hazard, Cazorla, Chadli, Henderson (Wanyama)
Rooney, Kane, Lambert
1.5 in bank.
Potential team with WC (have not activated it yet or done these transfers officially)
Hart (McCarthy)
Clyne, Williams, Darmian (Gomez, Ward)
Hazard, Y Toure, Chadli, Mahrez, (Wanyama)
Aguero, Gomis, Kone
2.6 in bank which could be used.
thoughts?
I would help you Luigi mate but tbh I have no clue :P
So looking at my current team:
Schmeichel (Schwarzer)
Azpilicueta, Richards, Clyne (Morgan, Targett)
Hazard, Erikson, Ramsey, Henderson (Wanyama)
Benteke, Agüero, Deeney
So I want to bring in Mahrez and Kompany. If I bring in Mahrez I need to lose Morgan to keep the number of Leicester players down. I think I need to lose Henderson cause of his injury problems as well ??? Hasn't been that bad though.
so
Henderson --> Mahrez
and
Morgan --> Kompany
That leaves me with -0.4m so do I trade someone else losing the 4 points Or do I leave Henderson in with the possibility of him missing and do Ramsey who has done nothing to Mahrez and leave me with 1.1m??
Halp pls.
yeah wouldn't say a -8 hit is worth nrich mate.
Considering your already stready defense if it's a matter of Mahrez v Kompany; i think Mahrez might win coz his price rise is likely to increase quicker.
Forgot to say in there I have a free transfer left from last week. So really it's just -4.
Gone the wild card already. All my so called stars scoring 2s each of the game weeks. flowered em off and stared fresh. Only one i kept was Clynne Jagelika, and Henderson.

That's pretty unfortunate but don't think it is worth trying to trim down another 0.4m.
Only perhaps benteke to gomis but even that for a hit doesn't seem worth it to me.
You could do hendo to albrighton and morgan to kompany but not sure albrighton is as good of a pick as mahrez.
You may just need to forgo kompany and pick up shaw or darmian who is 0.4m cheaper instead
Maybe I could doing Ramsey to Mahrez? Would leave me with 1m in the kitty.

Hmm, ok. Would it be worth getting rid of hazard then bringing him in later when he picks his form up?
Safe to say my wildcard payed off ;D
66 for the week.
cheers friends of Fanfooty ;D
Woke up this morning and saw that Arsenal and Liverpool had a 0-0 draw and thought "Nice, a cleansheet for Mertesacker"........... :(
Despite that my score of 62 this week was a lot better than 30 and 34 in the first 2 weeks :)

Looking at the rising value and the risk of waiting for form to magically appear were what made the decision to WC it much easier.

Cech
Kolarov Gomez Kompany Clyne Smaling
Pedro Hazard Mahrez Barkley (Redmond)
Wilson (Kone, Gomis)
486k in cash. basically Hazzard isnt in form but I had crazy ammounts of cash left. Would have gone Agguerro but wanted the two Man City defenders.
any changes to be made?

Kompany has scored 2 goals and has 100% goal scoring from attempts (2). Obviously this is not sustainable.
With City having the easiest fixture over the next 6 weeks, I would say yes, Aguero will go berserk soon so get him while you can!
So I traded out Wanyama for Mahrez, I'm sick of missing out. :P That's one free transfer used.
Forwards are Pelle, Costa and Wilson and they're travelling okay but I feel I need Aguero. Not sure whether to bring him or not or just back my boys in.
Thinking of using my other free transfer to downgrade Sigurdsson who has scored a total 6 points in 3 weeks and getting somebody a bit cheaper like Kouyate to park on the bench and banks some cash.
I'm glad all over, go the Eagles

my man Kompany brilliant as usual.
Not happy Spite its Yarran all over again :P
Dropped Sagna (11) to get in Aguerro (2) and pushed Wilson (6) to bench. and changed captain to aguerro from Kompany (7)

to be fair you did say drop kompany. Im just annoyed i can only have 2 from one team. Im sure it was 3 last year.
Didn't realise there was a FanFooty league for this.
I'm in now (Silva LinIngs is the team name).
Having a horrible, horrible start to the year though.
Captained Aguero the last two weeks for a grand total of 8 points :(
Cedric, Kolarov and Lens are about the only players I've got right this year.

fellas. Aguero, Hazard.
what to do?
Apparently Aguero is getting a shot on target every 20mins so only matter of time before they start hitting back of net. Keep
Hazard and Chelsea for that matter seem to be struggling. Only trade if you have the luxury
I'd keep Aguero he'll start scoring soon. I punted Hazard last week which feels kind of weird seeing that my team name is Dukes of Hazard :P
As a Chelsea supporter and one of Eden Hazard's biggest fans... it's killing me to even think about trading him out. Dunno who to bring in either tbh.
My previous bae Mata is the Juan (heh, couldn't miss the opportunity) I'm thinking of bringing in for him.
I keep hearing aguero will go bang every week. Had him captain all year.
got rid of him finally. when a defender is doubling him or more each week i cant afford to keep him. I do realise he will probably go 15+ this week now.

Kompany injured too, who did you pick up?
Kun was injured last week and subbed off at the 23rd min mark. He's ok now, so the goals should start flowing.
Hazard - I have no idea what to do here
How are you travelling this year thus far Spite?
This is my fist year doing it properly and because I'm only a casual follower of the EPL, I decided to sign-up to a FPL forum site to assist me. All the veterans on there are doing terribly and bemoaning that this season is screwed and totally different from normal (eg. defenders scoring better than all the attacking premos).
Ironic thing is if I didn't listen to all their advice and based my team on my own (limited) research I'd be doing much better ::)
I keep thinking I may as well ditch my Chelsea players (Ivanovic, Hazard and Costa) and just wing it from here on out on players I like because that's what my initial team was and most seem to be doing pretty well. :P

Having Sanchez, Kun, Hazard has eaten all my funds and they're all doing badly :s

That's it. I'm a chelsea fan too, love him to bits. His and Chelsea's form is definitely poor.
But i don't really like the options available, especially around his price!
Goes with the whole wayward thing of defenders and cheapies scoring well and premos bottoming out.
Payet, Ayew, Mata, Silva and Sterling are the only players remotely close to him in price.
I got no other injury worries i don't think. But i do have a Chadli.

I just brought Ayew in for Milner, happy with that move. Got Kouyate sitting on my bench and I'm not sure I want both him and Payet. Don't wanna be playing both every week and whichever I choose weekly would probably be the one to spud up that week. Still leaning towards Hazard -> Mata.

Hazard --> Mata sounding good to me too. Esp since I've already got 3 City players.
Then i'll make a decision next week on trading Chadli to either Ayew or Payet based on form and all.

I'm Costa La Vista but don't have Costa :P
Finally had a good week with 74 points.
Have not had a good year otherwise. Can't pick a good captain option this year. The best I've had is Sanchez's 5 points as C in week 2. Otherwise I've gotten 4 points out of all my captains.
Very tempted to stick with Aguero this week though.

74 is huge! Nicely done :)
My highest C choice has been Sanchez 3 points last week :P I have gotten a single point doubled twice too for my C. Not great!
Wilson C this week, fingers crossed!!

Saving grace tbh, he's basically got half of my 46 points so far this week.
Costa or my boy Cabaye might be the next to go.
I started the season with Mahrez and he has scored 23.3% of my total points so far :o ::)
what do we reckon. worth the double trade for -4?
Chadli --> Payet
and
Diouf --> Wilson (leaving me 2.6)
or
Diouf --> Martial (leaving me 0.4)

First trade has to be done imo.
If diouf is back this week then don't be afraid to hold. Has a good fixture coming up and should be the main man.
I would also consider ighalo as watford have a good attacking fixture ahead and everything they do goes through him

No love for Martial? Could be headlining United's attack and hitting some form. Hate for him to explode. And is a 'premium' for lack of a better word.

Sure I think he's an ok option. Fact is UTD have a terrible draw after sunderland and the kid has 4 goals from 4 shots on target - not a sustainable rate. That and he's just a kid, kids get rotated. He will do well against sunderland, rise more in price but after that he is a very risky pick imo, not sure its a justifiable hit

I think i've changed my mind tbh; and will have to agree to give Martial a miss for now.
After a bit of reading it is obvious that he's strike rate can't be sustained.

Watch him make us look silly now lol hatty incoming!
Since last week posting my C here yielded me my first C returns, I'm going to do it again.
This time, Aguero C, show me the points!
Used the money I had banked plus a suspended Costa to bring in Kun Aguero.
One less headache now.
Martialling the troops this week. The gun slinger as Capt this week. The Man U martial to go huuuuggee.
Had Mahrez captain... didn't play... Aguero Vice Captain 8) 8)
arrggh as always happens i just traded out aguero and he scores 5
Captain Agueroooooo!
Shame the rest of my team is a shambles and I haven't looked at it for a month!

I keep hearing aguero will go bang every week. Had him captain all year.
got rid of him finally. when a defender is doubling him or more each week i cant afford to keep him. I do realise he will probably go 15+ this week now.
Only a matter of time, what a jet. 8)
Went to make a last minute captain change of Aguero to Mahrez, but missed the deadline 8)
Other change I was going to make was trade Sterling to Payet, which didn't have the same result :'(
Best week so far scored 95

109 points for the week! Huge ranking boost, just outside the top 100k now.
panic trades. -4 hit already despite week off.
Clyne -> Walker
Toure -> Sanchez.
Form and price falling for the two outgoing players while form and price rising for Sanchez is my reasons. plus i needed the cash

Looked for the first time in a month :p
Henderson -> Walcott
Benteke -> Pelle
So first Yaya gets injured, then Aguero and now Silva. Close to WC time :(

I literally just bought Aguero in last week for his monster score, trading him only to have to bring him back later will be a headache.
Might have to bench him and hope Pelle and Vardy can hold the fort. 3-5-2 it is.

Cant have 13m on your bench for 4+ weeks man, so out he goes! At least you got his monster score, there were 140k people that traded him in right after and got nothing but an injury!!

That's true.
Trading out Kun means I can't get Vardy (already got 3 Leiciester players) in because Wilson has to go as well.
I could maybe just take the hit and make an extra transfer. Bring in Vardy, get rid of Huth for a better defender and then get another forward in for Kun.

Unlucky man. Aguero the only injury for me (so far, still another round international matches).
Will have to take a -4 hit though as I already used my free transfers this week.
haha shower! I knew I should have waited with the trades :p

Bloody Sterling! Traded him in for GW5 and he rewarded me with scores of 0, 2, 2 &1. Traded him to De Bruyne this week and he scores a bloody hattrick >:(
Jamie Vardy! :-* :-* :-*

That's very unlucky.
I used my WC and still scored badly this week :( Couldn't ditch Mahrez but benched him and he was one of my highest scoring mids :(
who needs aguero when you have Vardy kids a gun.
who does everyone have as captain?
i pretty much auto lock Sanchez in now.
Just keeping it on Vardy.
Sooo I might have Aguero still, might have to bring in Vardinator!
This team makes you wonder why you bother putting any thought into it http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1686099/event-history/9/ (http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1686099/event-history/9/)
Has made 0 transfers all season and Vardy captain every week, so obviously haven't touched their team since they first made it.
Ranked 17th overall :o :o
That's one more reason to go ghostship at some point this season. :P
That's a pretty fair effort in picking a starting lineup..wow ::)
Can't take a trick in this comp. Last week I was deciding between Pelle, Lukaku & Bony to replace Kun - went with Lukaku and Bony dominates. This week was deciding between Bony, Costa & Kane to replace Gomis with - went Bony and Kane dominates ::)
The big one that kills me every time I look at the overnight scores though is picking Fabianski over Myhill to replace Courtois in GW5 :'(
Yep, much the same.
Brought in Ighalo like two weeks ago for not much in return.
Trading out Ivanovic for Azpi didn't work out either.
Disgusting effort by myself, wont even crack 20 at this rate :'(
Well I used my WC and scored 34. Soooo..... :'(

Had Vardy captain anyway, so no dramas. Also had Ighalo and Mahrez so all went down pretty well.

Had Vardy captain anyway, so no dramas. Also had Ighalo and Mahrez so all went down pretty well.
If only the team I supported would get out of their form slump and magically do as well as my fantasy team.
Sounds like you did very well, nice!

Yeah, I think I missed the code and didn't end up joining that.
Edit: Joined it now, although I'm terribly late to the party. :P

Will save a trade this week and bench bloody Eriksen >:(
WINNING!

Eriksen has amazing away stats so think a lot about that one.
I scored 79 and jumped to third in our league and only 6 points behind you, so should only be a matter of weeks until I am top again ;)
Haha good job though man, keep going strong!
I literally cannot even load the fantasy premier league site, guessing I'm the only one having this problem?

Happening to a lot of people. Not sure why. Clear cookies/cache and try again?
Scored 68 last week to move to 5th in the league. Should've been 76 points if bloody Kolarov could actually score a penalty >:(

Also scored 68 and slotted into the league at 11th.
Who the hell are half these names though? :P
Used my WC last week for a paltry score of 46 :( If I still had the same team prior to the WC I would have scored 71 :'(
What's worse is everyone who used their WC early would still have those players that I dumped :'(
I've had two horror weeks in a row and dropped far out of the 200k which is sad
Pretty happy with my team atm.
Schmeichel (Fabianski)
Kolarov, Smalling, Alderweireld (Dann, Richards)
Mata, Ayew, Mahrez, Ozil (Kouyate)
Vardy, Lukaku, Ighalo
Brought in Kolarov and Lukaku this week, probably should have made those transfers closer to the start of the round but meh. :P
Went away without internet over the xmas period so made it difficult! I dropped 250k overall places in a single week and didn't qualify for the cup!! :(
Been doing fairly well lately but having a shocker this week, only on 23 with Lukaku and Alderweireld to come.
Gonna go out of the cup and take a hit towards league win amibitions.

I won 70 - 55 last week. :o
Been doing pretty average the last few weeks and it's predominantly related to missing with my captain choices.
Above average so far this week although would've been much better if Mahrez had scored that penalty as my captain >:(
At the start of this comp I joined a league setup by Hawthorn FC. Was just going through the teams list to see how many Hawks players were in there and noticed David Hale's team name is "CaitlinJenner'sBalls" ;D
Edit: he's doing well as well, currently ranked 18,305

I think he was.in the Top 10 early in the year in one of the AFL comps last year as well? Does alright in the world of fantasy sports.
Admittedly stopped checking ny team as per every time I try EPL fantasy. I just never seem to be able to keep it up for the season. I was doing pretty decently too so I'm kinda scared to look.

Yeah I often miss a few weeks then go flower it. I'm even in a $10 buy in league so that sucks haha
Well I lasted the full season and finished with a ranking of 18,869 which I'm pretty happy with in my first proper attempt in this competition. Even briefly pushed ahead of Spite with 2 weeks to go ;)
