Now at Crystal Palace and at 4.5m Martin Kelly could be a bargain buy.

Kelly is a bit of a sicknote, hasn't played much football at all in the last couple of years.

James or Blackett from Man Utd are far better value in the short to medium term.

final decision I think ........
I've had siggy all the time in my drafts but now I've slotted Henderson in for gw1.I've no other pool player and am slightly worried they might bang a few in first week but then have 2 tough fixtures.
meanwhile siggy has united away but then 2 home fixtures.
my plan is to transfer him in after gw1 but these things never go to plan
what to do?????

United's defence wouldn't fill me with confidence at this moment in time, I'd expect them to beat swansea but I'd certainly expect Swansea to score as well. I think it's a bit silly to plan to transfer Siggy in after week one, something else is likely to be more pressing and you could be looking at a 4 point hit. Henderson had an immense season last year but Siggy outscored him in a little over one third of the minutes.

Evans might still play Saturday!

Chambers a must have at 4.5m? Arsenal have few injuries and he played well last weekend.

He didn't outscore him. Henderson got 124 and Siggy got 72. He did play only a third of the minutes though so you're half right :-)

Sorry, I meant outscore in the old fashioned sense, Sigurrdson got 5 goals and Henderson got 4.

Henderson isn't an attacking mid though.

So might Shaw according to the fpl site

Ever since Gerrards' deeper lying role, Henderson has been allowed get forward more. Very much a box-to-box midfielder now. I think he's a good bet to get 150+ fpl points this season

Girlfriend organised a surprise camping trip in the wilderness from tonight until saturday afternoon.

Me out loud: 'Yay, thanks'!

Me to myself: 'God-dammit, now I have to pick my fantasy football team by tonight, and on top of that I won't hear any last minute injury news or be able to do any last minute tinkering with my team'.

Well that's my tinkering done! Going with the following:

Krul
Cahill - Debuchy - Jones
Eriksen - Mata - Ramsey - Fabregas
Bojan - Rooney - Giroud

Subs: Elliot, Siggy, Van Aanholt, Moore

If any see anything feel free to point it out, but I won't see it and it won't get changed!

Good luck to everyone for the next day and a bit of tinkering!

Tony Pulis could leave Palace before the weekend. Palace defenders wouldn't look that attractive if he leaves.

balls!!! I had just finished my team cos I'm going over to united game this weekend ! I had a palace QPR rotation in defence . have to look at it again now so! is he gone for sure

Mr.Prodston

Crystal Palace's defenders right now potentially :pac:

Ned Walsh

Crystal Pulis is no more. Left by mutual consent

jive

No Palace defenders will be making my team now given their prices. Uncertainty regarding their 4.5s makes them unattractive even at that price

Tony_Montana

any suggestions how spurs will line out gw1. d particularly in defence?

JaMarcusHustle

Any indication on who will likely land the Chelsea GK spot, Cech or Courtois?

rosskind

Poch said there'll be late fitness test for Walker, Vertonghen, Dawson, Chiriches, Dembele, Paulinho and Chadli plus question marks over who starts up front and at left-back. Only really Lamela, Eriksen and Lloris are certain starters.

Scout Podcast is out. Hoping they are decent as never listened before. Tried one earlier from FPLAvids, it was OK, host was dire

patmac

Is Gibbs worth playing lads, or would I be better of with De Bouchy, also any cheap Hammers defenders/ midfielders worth punting on like Cresswel,Potts or Noble

Alfred Borden

Taylor of Swansea or Naughton of Spurs?

Paully D

IT STARTS TOMORROW! :eek:

Just want the season to start now. Will be good to get back into the swing of things.

The missus is away tomorrow evening so I can pay good attention to any last minute news.

Likewise... sick of chopping and changing my squad numerous times a day. Also can't wait to just have the football back period. World cup was ok for something to watch while we waited but international football doesn't compare to the league for me!

Def was the first part of my team I had set up-
Now with cheap chambers in, evans inj, pulis sacked it throws a fukcstick into my plans.

You've got Jones & Smalling at the same price as Evans.
Chambers is less expensive than most Palace defenders...
Do you want me to throw you a snickers

kronsington

Is young likely to start for Utd? A bold move admittedly. If he was my cheap mid I'd look to bring in someone else for mata and upgrade elsewhere then

What's people's target for the season? The only league I lost last year was my work one where a lad finished just outside the top 1k so it has to be my aim to try and secure all the private leagues I'm in.

I dunno, I won all my leagues last year, but I'm in alot more this year and such an aim probably isn't realistic.

I wish to make a nice profit at least

Not really worried about the money - the bragging rights in the office are worth their weight in gold

Begovic and **** keeper who'll never play

OR

Krul/Mannone rotation?

Very hard to say as had a surprisingly good finish last year and hard to base my expectations on one good year. Have entered three pay leagues (the Loi ones) and have just moved to a new office in work and they've a leaguee at a tenner a head too. Would like to do well in them but hard to know what target to set overall. 8k last year so anything in top 20k would probably be realistic.

To finish 1st overall.

aha_sender

To finish top 100

Dietsquirt

Not many are picking Ashley Young, just over 5%. He's a good pre-season. He's 5.5M.

Ive decided Siggy out - Young in.

Is Davies for Spurs nailed on?

Dubliner28

Ashley Young or Henderson ???

zarquon

Looking to make it inside top 1K.

To win a league or two especially a money one if possible.
First time entering money leagues so while some hate the H2H format it represents a good chance to win some money for me.

I stuck him in too - with no wing backs he's nailed on for a start and is taking corners also so should be good for an assist or 2
