Christian Gamboa and Jason Davidson have both signed for West Brom. Both are defenders, Gamboa impressed as an RWB for Costa Rica and Davidson is an LB/CB.

Probably affects those looking at Wisdom and Gamboa could be an option depending on pricing.

Dawson wba will probably now move to burnley has been heavily linked which will see duff 4.0 lose his place.

so I did manage to stay away until less than 2 weeks to go, a lot of threads to read over as i'm pretty much starting from scratch with my team now.

goodbye Saturday mornings, they were nice while they lasted.

It's the way to do it I'm up to changing my team 2 to 3 times a day at this stage.

It is too early to have any level of sureness anyway, value will present itself when the team news comes out and a few defenders are out injured, creating 4.0 options hopefully.

I know there is no point in picking a team until after this weekend's friendlies as they are the ones that count but the truth is most of us lunatics have a serious FF addiction.

I checked a WBA forum and they still seem to think Wisdom will start, either at RB with Gamboa on the wing or at CB with Gamboa wing back in a 5-3-2. I think Wisdom will start their opening match, but I'm a little nervous he could lose value after that with ~8% ownership if he's benched

Nah it makes perfect sense, with every draft you learn a little bit more, but I'd nearly say that if one has the same team next Saturday morning that one does right now, there is a high chance they're doing something wrong in their strategy.

Jordon Mutch has gone to QPR. Will he prove to offer Mutch more than ample punning opportunities?

5m, not Mutch really given the cost of players these days, he will no doubt prove that he didn't Costa lot when the season ends.

I'm thinking of Instead of having siggy and 4.5 ml mid I may rotate 2 around 5 ml mark.
arteta at 5.5 is on pens but not sure who to rotate him with for 5ml as spurs are arsenals rotating partner
QPR and hull rotate but not sure about a pairing of holiett and elmahamody?

What does rotating partner mean exactly ?

Why oh why did they have to make Van Persie doubtful!!!

ArmaniJeanss · 05-08-2014 11:30pm

Anyone have a chart/link of all rotation pairings.
i.e., obviously we know Everton rotate 100% with Liverpool whilst Newcastle rotate perfectly with Sunderland. But that doesn't tell us how well Newcastle rotate with Everton. Almost by definition they must rotate terribly with either Liverpool or Everton and very well with the other. But which?

So there must be a chart somewhere detailing how well each team rotates with every other team???

and if anyone has this will you post it in the rotating teams thread please.

Someone on FFS made an app. It's called FPL Wizard and it's free on Google Play at least

MattHelders · 05-08-2014 11:39pm

2 of Mata, Hazard and Silva.

Any advice?

Mata and Hazard, for the first few weeks at least.

I appear to be in the Boards.ie FSA League.
My question is....

Is there a thread for that in here?!:pac:

So many frickin' threads at this stage we'd need a thread explaining all the various threads happening in the place!

I assumed this too but after having a look found out this to be incorrect (don't ask me why they did it like this).

Take Sunderland for example, they start the season AwayHomeAwayHomeAwayHomeHome (Home weeks 6 and 7)
and Newcastle start the complete opposite (Away weeks 6 and 7)

Stoke and Swansea similarly are complete oposites for the first 11 weeks, then have double home fixtures to mess things up.

So while other teams might mix nicely with others, every team seems to only have one true home/away partners for the entire season.

kennyb3 · 06-08-2014 9:25am

I am happy with 14 of the 15 players I have;

GK's - Bego/Gilks

Defenders - Luis, Evans, Mariappa, Wisdom, NTaylor (think both Mariappa & Wisdom will play once all is said and done)

Midfield - Fab, Mata, Ramsey,Siggy, Albrighton (prob switch to another 4.5 mid who wont lose value given their fixtures)

Forwards - Rooney, Costa, Jovetic

Only player I'm not happy with is Jovetic and might downgrade to Jelavic or Austin and keep €2m for moves.

The main other issue I see and wanted to discuss is I've 3 United & 3 Chelsea - too much?

No pool coverage and no city coverage (assuming I don't go for Jovetic) - feels wrong. Fixtures aren't great but just doesn't seem right.

Where do you stand on form v fixtures?

I've 2 options imho - Fab -> Sterling or Fab -> Silva/Yaya

I favour changing Fab over other 3 mids as have Costa upfront.

Thoughts?

I find it odd, and I fit in to this category, i haven't seen anyone talking about Kompany and very few have picked Zab. They won the league last year!

Benimar · 06-08-2014 12:14pm

In order to bring in Mata, which I feel is a no-brainer, I need to downgrade Hazard to Fabregas OR Sanchez to Ramsey.

Any opinions on which would be best?

Dietsquirt · 06-08-2014 12:36pm

Sanchez to Ramsey

It looks like Fabregas will be playing too deep - conjecture of course, just based on pre-season.

At this stage I suppose a move like this is pure speculation, but if Falcao came to City and Jovetic departed it'd certainly be something for everyone to think about FPL wise.

I expect he'd be 10 million+?
