They have had a tough start but have had the lowest amount of shots on target in the league. I feel they lack pace going forward and will struggle to score goals. I do think they will get a lot of cs and would be interested in their defenders.

Bolasie might be back next month might help in the pace department

All in all

Will Elliot be dropped by Newcastle when Darlow comes back from injury?

Elliot was starting before Darlow got injured.

I'm showing two different scores in two private leagues today

Points in league one : 63 (GW4)
Points league two : 53 (GW4)

Overall points in league one : 160
Overall points in league two : 150

I joined both at the same time so should have the same scores in both

Odd as well my latest points shows 63 but total gameweek shows 53

This ever happened to anyone before?

Did you get 10 points from played last night and autosubs?
Perhaps league 2 didn't update properly?

KrakityJones

Yeah I was at 53 on Sunday got 10 points last night with auto-sub so that's exactly it - one league didn't update for some reason. Presume twil correct itself - doubt there's anyone you can email for corrections is there? Would be a bit petty asking but then those 10 points would see me jump up one place - ten points is ten points like

If it hasn't updated by this evening I would send an email to fpl

KrakityJones

Cheers - no harm in that I guess.

might ask em for 100 extra points as well..for the inconvenience

Going to be a lot of casuals with a sub coming in for Pogba this week given the Fri deadline.

Gareth Barry goal incoming.

I had a disaster last gameweek. Took out Kiko Femenia as Janmaat was back for Naughton and took out Aguero for Morata. With the minus 4 I lost 20 points with those two transfers. 20 ****ing points.

I also have Mane suspended and Pogba injured. Thinking a -8 this week is something I'll end up having to do.

Just a general query for those that have played FF for years. Has there ever been a time when you got the full price when selling a player that had risen in price as opposed to only getting half the price rise value? For those looking to move on Hegazi/Pogba you could be looking at a +0.7 but only end up with a +0.3. As rises are much less likely than drops then it seems a bit unfair to only get half the rise. Have FPL ever given a reason for this rule?

Its always been like this since I've been playing 7/8 years. If you got all that value as profit it would be too easy to have whatever team you want after Xmas which I think would ruin the game.

Think before it became the official game you got the full price can't remember if it was still like that when it became fpl. You used to end up with some ridiculous team values at the end of the season.

Feeling sorry for myself with my wildcard disaster, but of the 275,000 people wildcarded last week 75% were worse off, than if they hadn't.

FPL official tweet, probably not the same as my post when I look at it closely, still not a good week to wildcard.

Right so forum, no starting the matchday thread till 18.45 tomorrow please. A low profile game between Brighton and Bournemouth may just cause a few to miss the deadline...

caviardreams

No matchday thread so..... Elliott or Foster, who to start in goal? I imagine a good few have this conundrum also?

Have Elliot and Yedlin starting.

Got Elliot in at the moment too but can just imagine a classic Pulisball clean sheet at the same time

Irish94

Who is guaranteed to start for City at the back - Mendy or Danillo? Otamendi and Walker seem the only two nailed on.

Father Hernandez

Any thoughts on who I should start as GK and defence?

Elliot or Foster... both at home, opposition Stoke and West Ham both scored twice in last fixture, Newcastle have had 2 CS's last two games however...

Have Bavies and Jones starting as no brainers.

The it's a toss up between Gamez & Lowe

If I start Eliott probably go Lowe, Foster I'll go Gamez.

Anyone care to shed any light on this?

I'm going to hedge my bets and start Foster as I have Clarke also for Newcastle

I'd never call a wing back nailed on.

The early deadline, coupled with no doubt many -4's incoming, should see everyone who has their team ready and taking no hit off to a good start this gameweek.

-=al=-

Mendy is probably slightly more nailed than Danilo. In saying that, Sane had a cracker last week but if Mendy is fit he should play. His crosses are worth 6.5 alone!

I'm taking a punt on him this week in the wc. Pretty happy with it... for now

Foster
Kolasanic Jones Davies Mendy
Eriksen Mkhitaryan Ritchie
Kane Morata Firmino

Elliiot | Gross, Carroll, Gamez

I could have kept Lukaku instead of Morata, but it meant having a 3.9 defender and two 4.4 midfielders. In hindsight I kinda like it more since I don't mind having no subs, but it's probably better this way... I hope!

I have taken an 8 point hit (holding on to wc hope it pays off later)
I think a few 4.4m and 3.9m is no harm can be changed later.

In saying that though a lot seem to be saving money by getting rid of lukaku for Morata/Jesus so they avoid having to skimp elsewhere.
