General FPL Chat 2017/18

Cartman78

I'll hope you indulge me in a Friday morning whinge - gone from being smug and confident and green arrows a couple of weeks ago to a state of absolute shambles now ---

Courtois – expensive & out of form, never gets save or bonus points
Elliot – not playing
Moreno – injured, return date unknown
Kiko F. – injured, walked off the pitch during last game
Ward – injured
Duffy – OK for his price
Daniels – poor returns, losing value
Salah – Legend
Coutinho – Meh, very inconsistent, rotation risk
Richarlison – injured
Surman - steady, but had blanked or been rested any time I actually needed him
Hazard – brought in for a hit, returns expected
Crouch – nuff said
Morata – injured & out of form
Kane – form not great

Bank - Empty :rolleyes:

Not sure what to do - Moreno to Ogbonna is likely to be my FT this week. Not sure if it's worth taking hits to bring in other cheapie defenders.

Might just get Moreno out and hope I can get 11 on the pitch

Slight selection headache.
Who would you bench from:
Gomez Klavan Mariappa Crouch?

Liverpool double def seems fun at Home, not sure about away though.

Klavan for me

I'm benching Gomez myself as he's least likely to get a CS but he's a better chance over Klavan then getting attacking points. Liverpool away from home generally concede.

Crouch at home to West Ham could score points, Watford CS looks good too

That defence is grim.

Moreno - Kenny

Start Kiko and hope that he's fit over Daniels.
Daniels and Duffy will play.
Bench Surman and he'll come in for Richarlison/Morata.

You'll field 11.

It surely is - it was all hunky dorey a few weeks ago....fixtures and form were on my side - I took my eye off it tbh and tweaked further up the pitch and now...

Cheers - could be another horror show this week either way I reckon...just hope I get the Captain choice right at least to thread water

mee v dunk who should i choose?

Burnley away from home against Brighton and is mee going to slot straight back in.

Decent chance of a 0-0 there I'd say. I'd consider going with both depending on your players elsewhere. If not, I'd probably go with Mee with Dunk as first sub.
Haven't looked at it properly this week yet though.

I've seen far worse teams hit big scores.
Courtois Duffy Kenny all look like decent chances of clean sheets.
If kiko starts happy days. If not, Daniels may get some attacking points.

Your front 8 is very good.
Captain is tough this week.
On Hazard myself

Wilberto

Sterling or David Silva? Have Sterling, but it'll be a straight 8.2m swap. I suppose it's impossible to call really.

Something I don't get - Ward is worth 5.2m in transfers but only 4.9m in my team. Why?

5.2 is his price if you want to buy him into your team

4.9 is his sell on value if he is in your team

e.g You buy a player for 8.0. He plays well for a few weeks and his value rises to 8.6. So you have made a profit of 0.6. If you sell that player you have to pay half of this profit back, so in reality you sell the player for 8.3 a make only .3 real profit.

You only get half the increase in price when selling on.

Assuming you bought him early days at 4.5/4.6, and he's now worth 5.2, so he's increased 0.6 and you get 0.3.

Jesus, he is not at 5.2m defender

Thanks lads.

Anyone else thinking of getting rid of Kane this week, apart from the 50 odd thousand that have already done it?

Nope not personally but there's a good discussion on the Scoutcast about it.

Think I'm gonna do it he's playing 2 of the stingiest defences the next 2 weeks and throw a blank in there too granted he may get a few against Southampton but I feels others will out score him until the new year. It's just about who to get now is the problem lacazette with a couple of home games coming up or gamble on lukaku going on another streak now after the other night....

Was just coming on to post the same dilemma.

Trying to see if I can upgrade Morata to Aguero but Kane to Aguero would be so much easier.

... The problem is being able to fund buying him back in 3 weeks time.

No.



:pac:



Seriously though, the more people that get rid now, means the fewer people that'll have him when he inevitable explodes. Then, the one's who got rid will have the dilemma of squeezing him back in, and potentially taking a points hit to do so.

Already thought ahead to that won't want him back until January when wildcard is in play again but long term I'm even madly considering a possible 4-5-1 with a power packed midfield and Kane on his own but will see how Christmas plays out

The top scoring striker in the league.
The top points scoring striker in FF.
10 points more than the next best.
Not a single ‘must have’ striker in FF at the moment.
Have 0.4 invested in him.
Absolutely essential for DGW22

That’s a no from me.

Any concerns about Aguero not starting this week? I have him and I'm debating about getting rid.

I've given up on City striker's, and my sanity is all the better for it.

Who to start tomorrow in my defence
Mee and Mr Jones (definitely, hopefully they have got a thing going on)
Marriappa,Daniels or Klavan.

If I thought he’d drop 0.2-0.4 before the DGW then I would do it.

Not sure on rules here but can someone tell me how this works. Bought Ward at 4.5m. Now at 5.2m. Transfer value is 4.8 currently. What’s his transfer value if he drops to 5.1m tonight ? I think it should be still 4.8 but wanted to be sure

-=al=-

Yeah you'll be fine. You won't lose any value with 1 more drop.
