General FPL Chat Season 2013/14

bezuaua

Greetings!

I'm on WC and have 2 major doubts:

Nani - obviously a risk but still taking a punt on him.

Calum Chambers (southampton) - will he be a regular? or is it safer to go with Chester/Gabbidon ?

Mr.Prodston

With Carroll out til the New Year it appears that West Ham have swooped for Mladen Petric. Could be a cheap option whenever his price is set.

Invincible

Kagawa starting for Utd tonight, could it be his springboard into the Premiership starting 11?

mailburner

I have hart and zab and so far it worked out well

I dont have rvp or rooney

i have rio but am tempted to bring in vidic after the city game which
would leave me totally dependent on clean sheets
utd have such and easy looking fixture list that im thinking it could
work out great

do people think this is mad?

He did nothing of note in the time he was on the pitch so doubt it.

Valencia looks good though.

Lemlin

Valencia goal. Rooney assist.

Oh right, didn't get a chance to see the game, only updates on sky football app.

I think the two games either side of utds next cl game away at shakthar donetsk are rotation risks for every utd player. They will play there strongest team in donetsk so in particular ferdinand and maybe vidic will miss one of the league games either side. WBA home and sunderland Away.

NabyLadistheman

Guys which of these do we think is a better option over the next few weeks?

Michu or Erikkson?

Cantona's Collars

Things not looking good for Mata,Jose has stated that Oscar is his preferred number 10 & both him & Ramires are his first choices as Mata needs to learn to track back.

Gone from a FF must have to an no-no over the space of the Summer.

Santi101

Mourinho is a moron. Mata pisses all over Oscar and Hazard for that matter.

Di canio sacked.

Not sure if it's a good or bad thing for those with 'pool players in their teams,they play Sunderland in GW6.

I reckon its a bad thing myself. New manager usually gets an initial boost.

I agree. Nobody could be as bad as Di Canio was either.

Bit ridiculous sacking him
Now after allowing him to rip their whole squad apart.

They have put Kevin Ball in charge temporarily they wont have someone in by next week

Thought I'd share this site with you all http://fpl.checkmystats.org/

Don't think I've seen it mentioned on here . It's an easy way of pulling up stats without signing into the site , It also goes into a little bit more detail than the official site.

My main pay league is wide open after a disater GW4 from everyone. Im down in 18th but only 45 points behind the leader!!

Rvw was meant to be on them in the first place. Snodgrass just grabbed the ball on Saturday.

FHFC

Lads, general query as first time player. What is a good overall score, if you ended the season in a high position, top 5,000 say, how many points would you be likely to have?

Hw many points won it last year?

Just wondering what is a good average score to have, I've averaged 54 pts per week over the 5 weeks so far, and looking for some consolation as the last two weeks have been ****e.

The overall gameweek average figure is pretty meaningless I reckon, especially as there are probably loads who registered a team and gave up after a couple of weeks. I'd imagine you'd want to be getting well above that to be competitive.

It can vary greatly year to year.

In 2011/12 I finished 524th overall with 2279 points, last year I got just 46 points less (2233) and finished 6584th. Highest ever score pointswise was 09/10 with 2437 points but that was just a finish of 1228th place

3 points ahead of my main pay-league.

If I can hang on, despite 10 teams being within 20 points, next week I will bag 50 quid as a monthly prize.

Slim chance though. All depends on Suarez

I have Suarez in too!

Does anybody think Luiz could get a run out in midfield with Ramires a doubt for the weekend? He currently seems like dead wood in my defence but I can't move him out till next week.

Mourinho was pretty critical of Benitez playing Luiz in midfield .

Anyone know why Whittaker was rested last week?

Personally, I think Russell Martin is better.

We'll see how it is this week-end.

Mignolet or Boruc this weekend?

Boruc for me. I'd say the Sunderland guys will want to put on a good show to impress whoever the new manager will be

Lemlin

Usually this place is buzzing on a Friday morning. You'd know FIFA was released yesterday.

Lucas Hood

There's no hype this year about FIFA , think Gta V is the cause of that .

There was enough hype for Xtravision and HMV to open at midnight last night.

Edit:

Boruc plays for Southampton home to Palace this GW
Mig away to Sunderland

Tough one! I'd go with Boruc

To the 104k that bought in Aguero he aint in the squad

Can the admin of the Boards FSA league close it off to new entries? No point in letting people join in any further surely

I think Ade (Nuri Sahin) is the admin

KevIRL

Just noticed the 'Rivals' function on TotalFPL, very useful

roryc

Yeah I use that, was great last year to keep an eye on my main rivals. I think the bonus point section is new though, seems to update in real time too. FISO seems to have gone downhill since last year, I never use it anymore.

roryc

Does anyone know what the timeframes for 'Quarter1' are in the game?

Swiper the fox

Robbie Brady is out for the next 4 weeks


I assume he will miss at least two FPL games in this time, I don't have him:P

Fantasy Premier League season will be divided into four quarters:



Q1 (GW 1-9),



Q2 (GW 10-19),



Q3 (GW 20-29)



Q4 (GW 30-38).

cathalio11

I don't understand what you mean by "Quarters"?

Is this an official thing?

roryc

I run a few money leagues and this season one of the prizes is for the winner of each quarter, as per the 'Quarter' filter on each league table.

I see Joe Hart is in 3rd place that probably explains his poor form. He was probably thinking whether to go with suarez or sturridge during the B munich game.

At least he was sensible enough to not pick himself :pac:
