General FPL Chat 2014/15 MOD WARNING POST 1839

Earthhorse

With Remy's move to Chelsea complete the next transfer I make will have to be a Chelsea player. Likely, either himself or Terry (Costa and Fab being my other Chelsea players).

Interesting as I've never been in this position before.

8 mil deal apparently done. Highes is generally good at picking up lads 2 to 3 mil so he probably thinks he could get 2 to 3 players for that.

For real? Wow i was thinking £15M or more around that figure with it being last minute. Maybe Shawcross himself pushed for it, he's not getting any younger. Would fully expect Stoke to bring in a replacement tho

He's 26 which is quite young for a centre half. He could easily play at the top level for another 7/8 years.

Not sure about his contract status. Maybe it's up next Summer.

Lucas Hood

They'll probably just keep Cameron now and let him compete for a centre half spot with Huth & Wilson.

He has 4 years left on his current deal.

Remy will get feck all gametime at Chelsea, won't be a regular starter unless Costa is injured

Every time I log back to the site I see this message

Anyone else had this?

It looks like the 01/09 surprised the FPL site

Ya. Same here. Looks like the change of date messed up the security certificate or something like that.

I've just realised that even if I had wanted to pull the trigger on Rooney to Costa at about half one this morning I wouldn't have been able to.............Big [EMAIL="f@ck"]f@ck[/EMAIL] there by the site. People wanting to make transfers couldn't and may now not be able to do so because of funds!!!! Very often 0.1m of a difference is all it takes not to be able to get your player

He's already dropped in price overnight. Oh well. Probably bring in Naismith for him.

Does this make Rooney worth hanging on to now?
Di Maria and Falcao with Rooney although RVP is meant to be out.
Not sure what to do with Rooney. He was quiet last weekend. And he was my captain.

Mr.Prodston

Both Mick gifs have appeared on the Benchwarmers facebook page in the days after they were posted in here, coincidence I think not. FHFC must be in cahoots with them.

I'll accept my commission a week late it's ok. Seriously though, where's my money?

Lemlin

Hull have signed a new striker Abel Hernandez from Palermo for a club record fee.

I told ya, Mick moves in mysterious ways.

It suggests to me that there was something to the van Persie operation rumours floating around.

Negredo has left City so that leaves them with 3 strikers reducing the rotation up front.

Surely with his reputation, he will cost 12.5M.

Royston Drenthe, one of our former forum favourites, has signed for Sheffield Wednesday!

Gaston Ramirez going to Hull.

Negredo gone from City.

FHFC

Neither Falcao or Wellbeck moves confirmed yet. Sky say Arsenal applied for an extension....

I hope the Welbeck deal falls through..

I would have thought would be guaranteed more given he's more captain, that said I do think Falcao has been brought in to provide higher level of competition for starting positions.

I'm intrigued by Kevin Doyle going to Crystal Palace but he's never been prolific

Imo Rooney is a permanent player on your team (unless injured).

Don't know. Rooney might be captain but I think yesterday's arrivals and departures at Utd are bad news for those of us with him in our teams. If he is playing up front as the main striker and is on form then he is good value. However as we saw even back when Fergie was his manager Rooney doesn't like played out wide and he certainly doesn't like playing second fiddle to another superstar. He used to get in a huff for a couple of months and was more likely to pick up red cards than goals. With Falcao and RVP more likely to be the central striker Rooney will, at best, be out wide as part of a front three. Plus there is a risk he could be on the bench. Having lost both Hernandez and Wellbeck Van Gal really now has only 3 strikers. Will he play all three at the same time? If he does he risks fatigue and injury and has no rotation options or impact off the bench. If he is picking two out of three it will be RVP and Falcao ahead of Rooney.

I think Rooney is now a very expensive gamble.

Your wrong ,the captain of the team won't be benched espically Rooney.
With vp looking likely to go for the knee op Rooney is a solid choice.
Van Gaal eyes are soley on the league now and will play falcao and rooney and when vp is fit rotate him.
Vp in the last two games was dire to say the least,im going with falcao,his record speaks for itself and is worth the money!
If balotelli is 10 then falcao going to be 12.

dahat

11.0 for Falcao... The maths begin!

Just waiting on the Van Persie news for the injury.

Perhaps. But as you say when RVP is fit then rotation will be a factor. 10.5m is a lot for a player subject to rotation. The Utd front line look very powerful from the point of view of challenging for the league but from a fantasy football point of view just like the city frontline they look overpriced with a risk of rotation and egos kicking in. For a little extra Costa looks a much better bet with less risk of rotation.

Yep, it will cement his place for sure.

I won't be getting any United attacking players until I see a serious improvement from them. I think they need to change from 5-3-2 to 4 at the back, so until they change from that I don't really see myself getting anyone.

Apart from their form, there's now a rotation issue - pretty sure they won't play RVP, Rooney, Falcao, Di Maria and Mata in every game. One of the appeals of Rooney/RVP/Mata before the other 2 were signed was that they were guaranteed starters. But that's not the case for any of them. Obviously if RVP is injured that changes things, but nothing confirmed yet.

Andersonisgod

Potentially a silly question but given my terrible start I can't take risks getting this wrong. If I activate my wildcard and make changes and save them, can I make further changes if I need to before the deadline for the next gameweek shuts?

Once you activate wildcard, you have until 11.30 on the morning of next gameweek starting, i.e Sept 13th.

Shedite27

Anyone see any winners and losers of deadline day?

Of the cheap option defenders, looks like none of Hutton, Wisdom and Moore were replaced.

Hull signed Ben Arfa, Ramierez and Hernandez, who knows who will go where but I wouldn't trust anyone there to be a regular till we see their starting XI.

Southampton signed a defender and midfielder, so some of them will drop to the bench.

United let some of the kids out on loan, Powell and Keane, could be good cheap options eventually.

Coates to Sunderland, who will be benched there?

Sandro and Krankjar to QPR.

HighClass

Will Welbeck be starting at Arsenal? Reckon he could end up being a pretty good scorer while Giroud is out, Arsenals type of play should suit him a lot better than Uniteds did.

Yes. Unlimited changes until September 13th.
