General FPL Chat 2017/18

Wilberto

Looks like a few of people here are going for that heavy hitting front line.

Can't say anything though as I've gone for it myself. I did always have Kane and Lukaku though so it was just Aguero I needed!

We'll have to think of an acronym for that combination now though. KAL? ALK? LAK? I'm gonna go with ALK! :pac:

Lanzini has started training "but it’s way too early." Obiang will not be in the squad: "It's nothing major. Hopefully ready [GW6].” #WHUFC
Feck it ! Signed him to afford aguero
Wasn't using him but was hoping for a possible price rise

Anyone with Swansea insight? Just wondering will Abraham keep his place, or will Bony take it, or might both play together

They have been playing 2 up top ayew and Abraham in a 352 or a 442 diamond. Ayew more likely to be replaced with bony I'd say.

Just curious. I'm inclined to think Abraham and Bony are a bit similar and thus may not play together. I guess we'll find out soon enough. Clement had positive words to say about Bony after the league cup win anyway

What are people's plans for triple captain this year?

I'm awful tempted by a guaranteed starting kun against a shocking palace this week.

I'd be waiting until Bony shows he still has a goalscoring touch before plumping for him. He's basically been a bad FF selection since Jan 15

It's tempting but I think it's always better to play TC on a double game week.

Have saved it for doubles the last 2 seasons and a misfiring Lukaku 2 seasons ago and a'creative' Negredo pick last year as a differential has convinced me that I'm probably going to be better off playing it in a single GW this year.

I'm also tempted by Aguero this week but think I'll hold onto it

Western Pomise

Have many people here wildcarded yet?....with the lack of much movement in price rises I think there is less of a necessity for an early wildcard if you are doing ok.

Even though they can't buy a point at the moment, Palace have only conceded two goals away from home this season.

Could be worth keeping in mind when looking at captaincy choices...

Stoke Press Conf:

MH: We are struggling on the injury front at the back. Shawcross & Cameron are out, Wimmer is struggling & Zouma can't play against Chelsea.

i have Kun fear, but if i had him, there's no chance I'd be TC'ing him.

Palace have a new manager, whose first plan will be to make them difficult to beat. New tactics and new motivation could make Palace tricky to break down (although odds are they do get hammered).

A DGW later in the season is much better. You'll potentially have big teams chasing titles and Champs League spots against mid-table or relegated teams with nothing to play for. Look at Harry Kane at the end of the last season - he made a complete mockery of tired teams with little to go for.

True, also the champions league factor, would prefer not to have managers bearing future games in mind.

Which three defenders to start from the below? 4 of them play against each other

Yoshida (MUN) - Jones (sou) - SWard (HUD) - Mbemba (bri) - Rosenior (NEW)

Pretty easy pick IMO - Jones Ward Mbemba

Joeyjoejoe43

Richarlison away to Swansea, Mee at home to Huddersfield or Chicarito at home to Spurs... Who should I bench? Have Mee benched right now..

I'd agree with that.. no debate..

Agree with the guys about Jones and Ward. But I prefer Rosenior over Mbemba.
Brighton will be trying to keep it tight as this could be an early 6pter and also I watched Brighton last week and Rosenior had 3 shots I think.

tomwaits48

who to bench.....carroll at home to watford or matic away to southampton...?

Jones and Ward, would agree. But Saints at home could keep a clean sheet, Newcastle are away and Brighton might tighten up at home. Toss up between these I think, especially Mbemba and Rosenior. Might lean towards Mbemba though

Rosenior was playing right back yeah? Could be something to sway my decision.

Matic I think.

Newcastle beat them twice last season and I'd fancy them to do so again and Mbemba scored for his country in international break so could be a goal threat from set pieces... having said that he's my second sub, but I have Alonso, Davies and Jones who are starters every week.. Mbemba is just there as a playing sub in case he is ever needed..

Ignoring Sigurdsson, who is Evertons next most attacking threat?

Pickford!! They've looked pretty blunt of late and so I'd give them a wide berth for now.. they do have 3 nice fixtures coming up though, so you could take a punt on Rooney or Calvert-Lewin who scored 2 in league cup.. I think he'll start against Bournemouth as a reward for that..

Ah sorry, I should have said midfielder!

They've got lovely fixtures coming up, but the midfield looks hard to predict.

The real mccoy 91

Darlow is back for Newcastle not sure if that puts Elliot's place under threat but something to keep an eye on
