    As jimmii said, I can't see myself getting rid of him before the DGW.

    With Spurs having nothing to play for anymore, I may get rid of Kane before then aswell. A DGW frontline of Costa Sturridge Giroud would be lethal.

    What week is that double game week potentially happening?

    We have a fairly rubbish one in gw31 then a decent one on gw34 arsenal still have a game to be announced which I am hopeful will be 34 as well.

    Would there be any doubts over Naughton losing his position? Presume he's pretty nailed on at this stage?

    Those of you with Foster but not Myhill, what keeper you going for?

    Ospina - decent fixture this week and has a double coming up but also a blank before hand.

    Myhill - cheap, guaranteed to play. Fixtures not the best.

    Adrian, Fabanski, Forster - decent fixtures and will play

    Currently trying to decide between Forster and Adrian.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,502 ✭✭✭spock.


    I did Foster-->Forster this week (doubling up with Bertrand) If money is no issue he's the best keeper to have over the rest of the season imo.
    Fabianski the next best alternative.

    If you have the money and no chelsea def courtoius is a good shout good fixtures no blanks and a dgw in the next 5.

    You don't think Cech will get the odd match? Chelsea defenders have much bigger point potential anyway

    I think he will at the end if chelsea have the league wrapped up. Im not getting courtoius I have Ivan but for people that need a keeper that dont have a che def I think its a good move. Courtoius to ospina or mig for gw 35 then if chelsea have the league sewn up.

    If I was getting a GK I would just get Forster in and forget about it until the end

    The challenge for those who lost out is to judge who of their team will perform in the next week or 2 and who won't, and to try to keep knee-jerking to a minimum, which is extremely hard to do when you've lost out by over 40 points in a week. the natural reaction is to think your team is absolutely shíte, whereas it's not necessarily the case.


    I have a question or two now that I'm trying to find an answer to.......

    I'm looking at my own team and trying to find out what I could have done differently over the last 4 weeks to prevent a slide from 24,000 to 70,000 place with a team I would not have considered shíte. How could I have predicted that I needed to sell both Aguero and Sturridge for Giroud and Costa? Being a week or two late to the party can destroy a season.

    What prompted people to sell Sanchez weeks and weeks ago and why did many of us hold on to him?? I held on to him simply because I could. I didn't need to sell him to free up cash when he was injured. Did people sell because they needed cash or because they thought his best days were behind him (because selling him weeks ago meant you'd probably not be able to buy him back again)

    There are some 50:50 decisions that don't go your way like bringing in Azpil instead of Terry earlier this season which cost probably 40 points, an incorrect captain choice (that Sanchez mega haul + Aguero mega haul which people can get on the wrong side of) and these decisions can affect your season but these are the bad luck calls I think that you can do little about.

    But it's not all luck and I've made bad decisions. Can someone tell me how they decide the correct time to sell a player, a highly owned player like Sanchez or Aguero or Costa, when by doing so they run the risk of being on the wrong side of a big haul from them??

    How long is too long too long to hold on to the likes of these? In other words, how long before your good team becomes shíte??!!

    I sold Sanchez because his performance levels were dropping, there were far too many potential scorers in the Arsenal team, he wasn't gonna be played for full 90mins now that the others were back and needed game time (and he needed resting). Much better to sell and get Ozil who was 2m + cheaper who started to show what he was capable of - others opted for Santi has he guarantees assists and was on penalties

    Aguero on the other hand is totally different - with City chasing Chelsea he was guaranteed game time (and nearly 90mins every week) and there wasn't many City players appealing. I would of opted for Aguero everytime! No one could of predicted he was going to have such a poor return (look at his ownership for top 10k) - people who didn't opt for him couldn't afford him or where chasing the pack & hoping for a differential (which worked). I felt he wouldn't return as much as earlier in the season and held back for a while but watching him play and not having him in your team while rivals did why drive you mad! If you were ahead of the pack you just had to have him in (IMO)

    And were you not afraid that he'd hit a big score or two and being so highly owned put a real dent into your season? I guess that's why I held on to both him and Aguero? The fear of their potential.

    Yes there was that fear but I felt that they would be more infrequent to earlier in the season due to - not playing full 90mins now, being rested for easier GW's and the fact there was other high potential scorers within the same team.

    Aguero on the other hand had far less big scorer potentials in his team

    I've had both success and failure with this. I sold Costa back in October because I was tired of the never ending drama over his hamstrings. That turned out to be a great decision since I used the money better and didn't have to worry about him for the captaincy which he usually underwhelmed in. I sold Kane on the Jan WC because he had a very high conversion rate that I didn't think was sustainable, tough fixtures, and a blank. That did not turn out so well and cost me 30+ points.

    I was guilty of rushing Sanchez back in and giving him the armband against Leicester. In hindsight, it would have been much better to avoid but at the time 60% or so of the top 10k captaining him up front was too great a risk. Aguero I'm still holding and will continue to since I think he'll come good. Hopefully people sell him and he's a bit of a differential.

    In terms of holding players too long I think it depends on the FTs you have available and how much you trust them with the armband even after a few blanks.

    That's a very interesting matter.

    You mentioned Agüero, Sturridge & Sanchez. Out of these 3 I'd put the blame on Sturridge for your free fall in the rankings lately. Purely because he's a differential (considering his ownership) and a differential that doesn't work means disaster in the overall rankings.

    Now, what'd be interesting is to analyse your whole squad. A single differential can't singlehandedly destroy your team. I think you "gambled" on Yaya too. And I guess if you had Silva instead you'd be a good 20 pts (at least) better.

    ---

    One thing I'd be very curious to know (if many boardsies agree we could actually gather the "data" in a table (*)) is some kind of ratio between your overall rankings and your captain returns. Like overall rankings, overall points, captain pts, vice captain points. Actually the "Possible Total Points if you Always Captained Highest Scorer out of (C) and (VC)" from http://anewpla.net/fpl/ is very interesting.

    If I have a look at my own example, I'm stagnating around 20k for 8 GWs in a row now and I've been oscillating between 46k and 19k since GW17 which represents about half the season so far. Last year from GW13 onwards I've never been outside 14k and from GW22 onwards never outside 5k. After 30 GWs I scored this year 366 (C) pts which is 21.6% of my overall pts. Last year at the same stage I was on 454 (C) pts that represented 30% of my overall pts. I can search for all my mistakes but in my opinion the main difference lies here.

    Long time reader but new time poster. I've had a disaster of a season in FPL this year, Got my girlfriend who doesn't really like the sport to participate and she's probably going to beat me. New low.

    Lost momentum around Christmas and could never win it back. Had too much faith in big name players.

    Ya. Bought Sturridge in the night Giroud was benched and have persisted with him in the hope my mistake would come good in the end. To make matters worse I tried to force this issue my taking a hit to get him out last weekend for Benteke. That cost me a further 10 points.

    I did gamble on Yaya in what was another massive recent mistake. A major lesson I'm taking out of those two transfers is the old favourite saying on this forum - 'It's better to be a week late to the party than 3 weeks early'

    You say Strurridge is the main reason for the tumble - let's do the maths so.....................

    Bought for Giroud in GW25 and used to GW29 inclusive

    Sturridge - 22 points
    Giroud - 31 points
    9 point difference

    Sturridge sold for Benteke for -4 hit in GW30.
    Benteke 2 points + (-4) = -2 points
    Giroud - 13 points
    15 point difference

    It's likely I'd have captained Giroud in GW29 instead of Aguero which would have yielded a further 9 points.

    So the transfer that night has cost me 33 points. That's extraordinary and I'd never have thought it was that much.

    Couple that with my Yaya in instead of Silva to try to steal a march in GW26
    Yaya 9 points to GW29 + Mane 3 points GW30 = 12 points
    Silva 41 points from GW26 - GW30
    Difference of 29 points

    Total loss over 5 weeks because of Sturridge and Yaya = 62 points if my maths are correct or 53 if I still went with Aguero (c) in GW29 since there is no definitive way of knowing for certain if I would have gone with Giroud in the end

    53 points!!! Oh my God. This is kind of saddening and depressing when I see it in print like this. :(

    According to that anewpla.net I'm 45 points off 25,000 so i guess I'd be somewhere near the top 20,000.

    These are the what if's though but they are the decisions I would not put down to bad luck like a 50:50 captain choice. Poor decisions, trying to steal a march, trying to be too clever. Lesson learned the hard way I guess but at least if nothing else it is a lesson learned!

    You hit the nail on the head iroced!

    Long time reader but new time poster. I've had a disaster of a season in FPL this year, Got my girlfriend who doesn't really like the sport to participate and she's probably going to beat me. New low.

    Lost momentum around Christmas and could never win it back. Had too much faith in big name players.

    Lesson learned???!!!:)

    Done!! I just deleted post altogether and added in a new one instead. You and Busts updated now

    This has confirmed busts lamentable captain choices anyway, his captain points % is absolutely miles behind the rest of us.

    Remember that you will need to double your vc's total for the purposes of this list, a few haven't by the looks of it.

    It's a truly outstanding score so far by busts considering his captain choices. Without going into any detail it's highly likely that with a few better picks he'd be right up near the top of the world rankings.
