Any FPL podcasts worth listening to? Started doing some running and thinking I could double up my run time and (some of) my obsessing about FPL time.

Welcome to the FSA running club. Myself and FutureGuy are already members.

I do think Debuchy is very good value as a first choice player in a side who should be there or thereabouts on the clean sheet table come the end of the season, but Arsenal's fixtures are very difficult to start. I can't see them keeping too many clean sheets from PAL, eve, leic, MCI, villa, TOT, chel. Their fixtures pick up big time from mid-October, but it's a tough start with Everton and Chelsea away and City and Spurs at home in the first seven weeks.

Scout Cast.

There's demand for more FPL is really taking off.

Wenger hints at Sanchez wide role (initially)

I think he'll get plenty of goals and assists from our wing though

I presume that would mean Giroud playing? Could be a good option at 8.5m. He might not be the greatest player ever, but he's got some cracking players behind him: Ozil, Cazorla, Walcott, Ramsey and now Sanchez.

Of course, Sanchez and Giroud might be an Arsenal overload.

Yaya's expensive but worth it if he stays? So many midfield options.

Hard to know where Fabregas will play, whether Fatntasy Football wise, he'll be worth the investment.

I think Sanchez is a must. As is Terry :eek: He'll play every game.

People appear to be leaning mor etowards Rooney than RVP, I know RVP's injured but would he not be VanGaal's main man?

Also people mentioning Dzeko a lot, City have 4 forwards, arguably all have a chance of starting

I''d say people are considering Dzeko, as Aguero is injured pretty regularly, Negredo really didn't impress at all last season, and Jovetic didn't get much game time.

redknapp mentioned on SSN that he plans to play with 3 cbs this year will make their full backs decent options if true.

Looks like they've had a bid accepted for Caulker now. I wonder who their first choice full backs will be?

Hope you're enjoying the running dude.

As for recommendations, just the FFS scoutcast. Just FFS for anything fantasy related to be honest. Nothing comes close to them, and I'm going to be reading the exclusively from now on.

having said that, I haven't even looked at the game yet. I'm going to kick back and wait until the week before the start of the season before selecting an initial team. It's a massive change from 2 years ago when I was checking the site 2-3 times a day to see if the new season had started!

Cheers, just started and hoping to get to a 5k of some sort next month.

Back on topic, I agree there is no other site in the league of FFS. I did membership this year and it looks good so far. The only other one I'd still look at regularly is www.fantasyfootballgeek.co.uk. Its articles are basic enough but readable and give a good point of view sometimes. Really helped me picking my team last year as a novice, before I found FSA, and found it worth following ever since.

TotalFPL's articles can be ok too, their ESBO can be a help in making a decision on starter or captain.

Without a doubt. There are a ton of analytical tools available.

Cheers mate.

It actually worked out at just over €16, but when I looked at the video preview I felt I'd get a lot of use out of the statistics besides just Fantasy Football reasons as I'm aiming to start doing a bit of writing towards the end of the year, so I'll definitely get value from it.

Agree 100%. Lots of good stuff, plus its a small contribution back to what is a great site and has been for a long time now

just signed up to it today for the first time.

howdy everyone, hope you all enjoyed your summer.

I enjoyed those few weeks off from fantasy football (i decided against entering a team in that shambles of a world cup fantasy set up)
Loved watching the world cup without the usual FF, i wasn't getting wound up that the Iran manager took a player off 2 minutes before the 60 minute mark:D

Just picked a very rough team to enter my team into the FSA championship and don't plan to really revist the FPL site or here much until a week or two before the kick off but i said the same last year before changing my team about 5 teams a day for the next month so we'll see how the stay away goes.

14 million for Fabio Borini. What the **** is going on?

Borini out and Remy in with £6 million in change is unbelievable.
