General FPL Chat 2014/15 MOD WARNING POST 1839

This is so-so...

Total Captain Points : 250
Total Captain Points as % of Overall Score : 21.42%
Total Vice-Captain Points : 158
Possible Captain Points if you Always used your Vice-Captain instead : 316
Possible Captain Points if you Always Captained Highest Gameweek Scorer : 502

--

This I like.

Total Played Keeper Points : 69
Total Benched Keeper Points : 10

Times Active Players Achieved Double Points in a Gameweek : 31
Times Benched Players Achieved Double Points in a Gameweek : 1

The second part should be a perfect record for a couple of seconds which made my last min "Siggy on" change not go through...

--

This shows the standard we need to achieve now. In the best 1% and I'm not happy :pac:.

Current Rank : 30,287
Average Gameweek Rank : 934,196
Total FPL Users : 3,429,451
In Top x% of All Users : 0.88%

Need to increase my average GW rank by ~300k to finish around top 1k if I go by last year figures. Shows too that a 1m GW rank is nowhere near a bad one.

--

Impressive consistency in my pts per formations .

Formations:

3-4-3 (14 times - average 57.4 points)
3-5-2 (4 times - average 54.5 points)
4-4-2 (3 times - average 55 points)

Captains Used:

Costa (6 times - 44 points - average 7.3 points)
Agüero (5 times - 80 points - average 16 points)
Rooney (2 times - 18 points - average 9 points)
Hazard (2 times - 34 points - average 17 points)
Austin (2 times - 38 points - average 19 points)
Sánchez (1 times - 20 points - average 20 points)
Sterling (1 times - 2 points - average 2 points)
Silva (1 times - 4 points - average 4 points)
Pellè (1 times - 10 points - average 10 points)

Really need to improve my captain picks. Only one captain with a double figure average. Just not good enough.

----

Food for thought to finish with.

Had I captained Hazard or Sanchez every single week I'd have outscored my 250 pts respectively by 32 and 6 pts. Aguero would have bettered it too had he not missed 5 games.

Major doubt in defense for this GW: (will get Bertrand in)

Hart
Terry | Bertrand | ???
Hazard | Sanchez | Silva | Downing
Costa | Kane | Austin

Available defenders:
Phil Jones – away against Austin…
Naylor – home against Chelsea…
Wisdom – away against Everton…
Hutton – home against Liverpool…

Any considerations ?

In a similar situation re: Austin.

My GK is DDG. Considering benching Austin for Siggy!

I have benched Clichy as I have Sanchez!

I really don't like having attackers playing against my forwards it's a no win situation

John83

I'm unsure whether to start Austin or Boyd this week? It seems madness to drop Austin but I just have a feeling he'll draw a blank.

Is it madness?

If you have no Utd defenders then go with Austin!

Van Gaal has admitted that QPR's long ball tactics could cause united's defence problems, so I'd be sticking with Austin. Even if he's having a bad day he's still on penalty duty as well, so there's always that.

Darrenon91

First time poster but Im in the exact same position. leaning towards Boyd but will then have three burnley players. Had alderwerield but gonna wait to have to FT's to get aguero in instead of transfering him out.

My 244 captain points seems miserable enough.
when they say Possible Captain Points if you Always Captained Highest Gameweek Scorer do they mean in the whole game or in your team? I would be three points from first place if it is option B, otherwise I don't see the point of providing that stat without the other one.
Either way I'd be flying it if it wasn't for crappy captain choices.

In your team. But let's be honest a lot of the time that is a player you have a absolutely no business captaining!

You mean I shouldn't regret not captaining Terry for his back to back 15 pointers? :pac:

No definitely regret that he was the obvious pick for sure!

OneColdHand

So much negativity regarding captaincy choices!

If I'd picked my LOWEST scoring ATTACKING player each week, I'd have 76 captaincy points!

Copper_pipe

Lads what 7 would ye pick to start here

Terry, Trippier, Hutton, PVA, Wasalawski

ADM, Sanchez, Hazard, Boyd, Puncheon


Usually play 3-4-3







Just realized this is my 7k post!

harpstilidie

Same dilemma and I've benched Sigurdsson.

Can believe I've (c)'d Sterling 3 times!

Liverpool got 5 CS out of their last 10 games.

Their defenders are very rarely cited in here (myself first and included - I didn't even bother consider their keepers in my GK analysis 2 weeks ago ).

Is it just a fluke run? Or is there FPL investment to be made there?

KevIRL

I got in sakho for Liverpool's decent fixture run with the intention of wildcarding him out at the end of Jan. May have to rethink that now, he has picked up bps the last 2 games as well as the cleanie

Rikand

I was looking through my captaincy's for the last few weeks. I havent made a good captain decision since I captained Charlie Austin for his Hat-trick in GW 17

It was also after that week that I transferred out Costa and Siggy for Giroud and Fabregas... Captained Giroud for GW 18 and all my brilliance of the previous 17 gameweeks went in the toilet. I've been trying to catch up ever since and making it worse and worse

Shipping Costa and Siggy when I did, even though it seemed like a good idea at the time, was a total disaster!

Rikand

Not looking for sympathy or comments or anything there btw... I just had to get it off my chest, lol

Iused2likebusts

the last 6 gws my captains have returned a grand total of 24pts shocking stuff.

Hopefully you've taken the mantle!!

Especially as you're up to second in the most coveted pay league in Irish football....

Ok guys help me out here as I think I'm going mad. Looking at Liverpool's players on my transfer page and I cannot see Jordan Ibe who came off the bench yesterday.

But when I use the official App, I can see him there for 4.4m. And I also see other players who were there at the start of the season but on loan or sold since; Aspas, Assaidi, Reina etc

What is going on here? How can I transfer in Ibe on the app but not on the website? Are other people also seeing this?

Not seeing him on the website either. Dunno why you'd wantvto buy him though

up to the lofty heights of 4th place in the fantasyleague.com standings :eek: let's see if i can maintain that

KevIRL wrote: »

I don't I just was curious of his price as I thought he'd be a new add to the game this week. However now I see he's 4.4m so must have been there from the start.

Lucas Hood

Wasn't he only recalled on Friday? I imagine they'll add him back in soon enough.

He's still red flagged with the flag saying on a season long loan deal. Owned by 0.1% of teams. Not a big deal or anything but interesting that a player owned by some of the teams can be removed from the site. I'm sure they'll update it on Monday

KevIRL

Very interesting big numbers article this week on FFS. Easily my favourite article on there each week and food for thought re eriksen, Rooney and a few others

Is Cazorla now a viable replacement for Sanchez? Or run with the two, he is cheap at 8.2 and on spot kicks.

Ziegler1988

Going to be so sad to sell him; maybe see you in GW30 Stewie

Only if you have balls of steel when most of the top 10k captain Sanchez against Villa and Leicester

Considering both for a while. Need to look more closely at their fixtures. Giroud in for Kane could be done either.

Very true, be sort of FPL suicide possibly. Really tempted to go with two of then given the games they have.

Appeals even further when I see Silva v Chelsea next and with Hull after that I can swap Di Maria out for Silva if needed.

extra gravy

I'd be wary of Cazorla. Even though he's in good form, he has only produced attacking returns in 7 of the 21 league games he's featured in this season.

Penalties,free kicks and an advanced role at 8.2 is very tempting, very tempting.

7 PPG in last 10

Ziegler1988

There's a slight rotation risk with Cazorla in February if we have FA Cup and Champions League. Ozil, Ramsey, and Rosicky will definitely get minutes and Cazorla was out on his feet at the end of the match. I think he'll get the rest next week against Brighton though.

You can add wellbeck and walcott into the mix there as well. Close to 10 viable attacking options for 4 spots.

Cazorla is really making them tick these days though. Him and Sanchez won't be benched in the league any time soon imo. Any Arsenal fans have a view?

Considering dropping Silva in the Wildcard to Santi, leaving me with Bellerin, Santi and Sanchez. Too much Arsenal?

Considering the same. For next 3 games anyway.
