De gea
Morgan Walker Bailly

Let the fun start

Dont be at yourself

Looks like I'm the only one of you lot without Aguero! Hoping for a 1 pointer from him!

Valdes
Stones-Baines-Valencia-Friend
Hazard-Firmino-Alli-Redmond
Ibra-Vardy(c)

Foster-Albrighton-Llorente-Amat

Need to change Sigurdsson for a £7.5m or under midfielder as reports suggest he'll be benched today.

Lamela and Deulofue getting the most love in that price bracket it seems. Any suggestions please? I already have Tadic and Townsend.

Benimar

Going with:

Foster
VVD, Shaw, Friend
Hazard, Firmino, Redmond, Lamela
Aguero (c), Vardy (vc), Gray

Jakupovic, Gaston, Souare, Amat

Have a niggling feeling I should start Gaston (home to Stoke) over Lamela.

This really is much less stressful and leads to a much more enjoyable Saturday, well for anyone with kids at least. .Anyone on board for this club this year?

Not sure if I'll go that far but deffo plan to spend less time obsessively following live score updates, projected placing etc.

Starting XI:

Foster

Friend Valencia VVD

Lamela Hazard Firmino Spacecraft

Aguerooooo(C) Gray Vardy

If you don't have Hazard, Oscar is 7.5m. On penalties too it seems.

I do have Hazard.

I'm going to take a punt on Deulofeu I think.

Websitw gone belly up?

Assuming it doesn't changed in the next hour!

Foster
Shaw, Stones, Friend
Mahrez, Redmond, Firmino, Lamela
Aguero(c), Gray, Ibra

Subs, Jak, Fletcher, Amat, Kone

Best of luck all

DwightSchrute1

Foster
Stones, Walker, Shaw,
Mahrez, Lamela, Payet, Sanchez,
Long, Aguero (c), Gray

Jaku, Hojbjerg, Amat, Paredes.

Draft #3629. Hopefully it will bring me some luck. No Chelsea or Man Utd attacking coverage could cause problems.

FPL site down. Great :rolleyes:... Every single time they fùcking change it :mad:.

And I'm about to leave for a 2 weeks east european road trip.


If site gets back alive, can anyone tell me the good cheap 3-way rotations for defenders. Did not have time to look for it.

I've taken a punt on Barkley myself. I had him penciled in for the WC originally but for no real reason, he's gotten the nod.

DDG
Valencia, Stones, Evans
Sanchez, Firmino, Barkley, Redmond

Ayew - think West Ham might be decent up front this year with Payet and Feghouli and big AC if he stays fit. Ayews stats last year look good

Was the plan. Computer crashed last night.

Hazard & Ramsey

Or

Sanchez & Lamela (and no Chelsea)

Dont be at yourself

The app seems to be working fine for those making last-minute tweaks!

Mr.Prodston

Well at T-1 hour plus 5 minutes of temptation here I am:

Heaton
Valencia - Souare - Friend
Townsend - Hazard - Redmond - Mirallas
Ibra - Vardy - Aguero (c)

Jaku: Evans - Amat - Capoue

0.5 ITB

Must. Not. Go. Tinkering!!

(Unless it's to do with Mirallas and Souare :pac:)

I have Friend, McAuley and Amat if that helps for 4.5, 4.5 and 4.0 respectively. FF is working fine atm for me.

SlipperyPeople

de Gea

Stones
Valencia
Morgan
Friend

Hazard
Mahrez
Redmond
Oscar

Agüero
Ibrahimovic

Hopefully the slight gamble on oscar instead of lamela doesn't come back to bite me but he looked good in preseason which I expect conte took notice also a bit of a differential.

All the tinkering.

Heaton
Morgan Valencia Stones
Hazard Eriksen Redmond Tadic Firmino
Kun Vardy

Been hovering over Oscar instead of Tadic, but they are both appealing.

I think that'll do for this week. Removed Zlatan, if he goes nuts I'll just wildcard.

Any Arsenal fans able to give me a rating on Iwobi starting for 2/3 gameweeks?

Probably 6/10, I loved him and Sanchez on either flank but once Ozil is back, Ramsey will probably be pushed wide

wrestlemaniac

Foster
Shaw-Stones-Friend
Lamela-Hazard-Deulofeu-Tadic
Aguero-Rooney-Vardy

Hopefully my Rooney differential pays off

Cheers mate .

I finally managed to sign in.

callaway92

If I remember correctly, we won't actually see the teams our opponents have until GW1 is over will we? Or do we see them when it officially starts, I can't remember.

dahat

Heaton
Evans Valencia Friend
Martial Hazard Tadic Townsend Lamela
Aguero Vardy

Still may switch to Stones but need a Siggy GW2 plan to do that.

Once the game loads you'll see everyone's teams. Probably somewhere between 12-12:30.

Nice balance to it.

Well, here goes....

Valdes (DeGea)
Morgan, Soare, Stones, (Shaw, Amat)
Hazard, Redmond, Deulofeu, Mahrez, (Fletcher)
Aguero VC, Vardy C, Gray

Best of luck all and here's hoping for lots of points ahead!

T-b0n3

Go big or go home, currently on:

Foster (Jaku)
Stones - Valencia - Friend (McAuley Amat)
Frimino - Redmond - Lamela - Townsend (Capoue)
Kane - Ibra - Aguero (C)

I had Vardy in Kane's place, but I want Kane for GW2 so I'm just going to hope and pray Hull but up a good fight this morning! No Hazard or Chelsea is also a worry, with a bit of tinkering I could get him in for Frimino which I'm contemplating. Would involve downgrading Valencia and maybe Townsend.

Paully D

Anyone have a link to Ville Ronka's team (I know it won't be available to see until the gameweek loads)?

Don't think anyone knows it until the live FFS Hall of Fame updates with new IDs

Ballsy going with Vardy over Kun for captain. I think Vardy could run riot today, but I've got too much of the Aguero fear to move the armband off him.

Shaw, Morgan, friend, (evans, Amat)
Mane, Oscar, Redmond, Ramirez (lamella)
Aguero, Long, Vardy

3 million in the bank.

I want to keep an eye on lukaku, an Arsenal attacker and Ibra/martial/miktaryan.

Sounds like a plan - but truthfully it happened because I can't decide on any big hitters other then Aguero.

blockfighter

I must be the only person who decided not to put Aguero in my team. Opted for Kane, Long and Iheanacho. I may live to regret this...

LightsStillOn

Being a genius this year and left my team to the very last minute, half and hour to figure it out and hope for the best! Hopefully the casual way will work for me

Site is down again

What is the cut off time for gameweek 1?

Most people play and prefer 343. You've also gone against the grain with a lot of choices. And the big one, NO AGUERO?

All I can say is it's different, but I wouldn't be advising it!

Mint Sauce

Not giving much away this season. Think that was my downfall in the last one leading to my 1. Million odd finish and relegation from the FSA League.

MarkSRFC21

Foster
Valencia - Friend - Souare
Haz - Mahrez - Townsend - Redmond
Ibra - Kun(c) - Gray

1m in the bank for next week

Think this is the final draft. Best of luck everyone and I'll see you on the other side

Yeah I got a time out, worked fine after a refresh though.

Flashbacks to the year of the infamous GW2 wildcard

steve_r

yeah me too. Just one change I'd like to make.

CSF

Having a horrible last minute conundrum between Mahrez/Gray and going 3-4-3 and going 4.5 cheapie/Zlatan and going 4-3-3 (a Burmley defender would be the 4th defender this week, probably Amat next week)

Answers on a postcard within the next 20 minutes people.
