I would stick with Puncheon but if you think Pool can win then it's worth a shot.

Played Milner, but finsihed as a push, both on 4 points.

Finished the week on 65. Cech with 9 tonight, Caz with 10 as capt and the 4 from milner

manual_man · 24-08-2015 10:14pm

finished on 55. 17 from 4 played tonight so not too bad

stiffler123 · 24-08-2015 10:16pm

73 points, thank you Bellerin.

jimmii · 27-08-2015 2:03pm

there's something to be said for having a few players in your squad that you're happy to have in the reserves every week. use the extra cash elsewhere - even with that most weeks you won't be able to play ALL the players you want

Yea this week is a good example. I 'm going to bench Mahrez or Wilson which is a tough call.

it's tough going - going forward - with the fixtures and matchday permutations that we know. between GW5 and GW14, Spurs have an insane EIGHT fixtures on either MD2 or MD3, while Chelsea have just one. i think you could peruse the fixtures 'til the cows come home, but there's still going to be a few weeks where you have to leave players out when you don't really want to, as well as not always having decent options for MD2/MD3

I didn't realize that Spurts had so many games on Sundays/Mondays. I have none of their players although Chadli is the only one Id consider at the moment. Who else qualified for the Europa league this season?

i'm not sure... other than Saints... who could get knocked out tonight. Liverpool are the next most in terms of MD2/MD3 fixtures, with 5 during the same period. I'm not sure if we'll know beyond GW14 for MD scheduling before we get to use our final transfers

Looks like it's just Liverpool and Spurs from a quick check online. That's grand, I have 3 pool players and I was thinking of getting Mignolet in too.

yeah i think i'll have 3 L'pool in my 1st team - Gomez and Benteke to add to Mignolet who i already have. Mignolet and Coutinho for my 2nd team

Soton out. Just spurs and pool in the EL group stage

KevIRL · 29-08-2015 9:35am

Have set up a H2H league to start in GW5, selected 3 knockout rounds for the end as well so should finish in a final in the last week I think

318-3245 is the code

manual_man · 29-08-2015 11:54am

How about that for a lineup troll. Mert, Ozil, Giroud were all options for me this week :rolleyes:

jimmii · 29-08-2015 11:55am

Few last minute changes with that line up! Starting with a 5-2-3 formation now!

jimmii · 29-08-2015 3:53pm

I'm guessing no one really has any decent MD2 option is the unthinkable does happen in the second half! Cedric captain home to Norwich??

Markx · 29-08-2015 5:20pm

Mane, Redmond, Gomis, Shaw, Jerome in that order depending on the lineups in the earlier game.

Yeh similar for me one of those weeks where all the good options are MD1. After a HAPE of points in the reserves last week have almost none this week which is always nice!

Decent start this week hopefully a few MD2ers can keep thing ticking over tomorrow.

jimmii · 29-08-2015 7:00pm

Wifeys birthday tomorrow so will have to make some early moves hope that doesn't kill me again this week!

manual_man · 30-08-2015 2:22pm

Mane(c) :cool:

Gah! Did Redmond over Mane. Jerome is an even worse player for UFPL than FPL!!

yeah Jerome has done s.f.a haha. his biggest contribution being big chances missed. at 5.0m may be worth having one or two weeks when you have no other options though

KevIRL · 30-08-2015 3:13pm

A solid 20 points there from mane and Cedric. If Rooney(c) can deliver in the next game it'll be my best of the season to date

manual_man · 30-08-2015 5:41pm

Williams is an absolute demon for the CBI's

stiffler123 · 30-08-2015 6:39pm

57. Depay once again proves to be a useless captain choice.

jimmii · 30-08-2015 6:45pm

98 boom. Depay my only player to score less than 6 wish it was like that every week!!

Great Score. Game week rank of 7 is impressive.

I moved up a few hundred places to 755th but dropped a couple of places in the fsa pay league which shows how high the standard is.

Holy crap I didn't even know that!! I expected it to be good but nowhere near that good! Up to 166 OR now happy with that!!

In random news M Night Shyamalan just walked into the bar. Place just got scary.

jimmii · 31-08-2015 1:56pm

Just have to leave this here so that when I am moaning in the future I can look at it and be like yeh its not always bad!

manual_man · 03-09-2015 3:43pm

have we our final squads picked? i do morealess tho just hanging on til the internationals are done and dusted to avoid any nasty surprises.

p.s. super score jimmi, especially considering the average for the gw

Yeh was pretty pleased with that I was expecting it be decent but you don't expect a 98 to be that good in ufpl so was a nice surprise.

Haven't even looked at making finishing touches yet will be having a tinker tomorrow I have quite a few transfers rolled over.

yeah i have limited options in my 1st team with just 4 transfers and needing to use one of them to take Gradel out. 7 transfers in my 2nd team and i like the look of that better how i'll have it

jimmii · 04-09-2015 5:16pm

Gone through it now dam it takes a long time! I guess its all those transfer decisions you have in FPL from now until Christmas all wrapped up into one week! I'll be letting one transfer go to waste might just do Shaw>Darmian for the craic. MD rotation sucks on 7,9,11 & 13 but I guess we are all in the same boat there between all those GWs only have 14 players playing outside of MD1 :eek:

the md rotation is very difficult with the fixtures as we know them in fairness, some gw's you're just not going to have many options but everybody's in the same boat in that regard. i think you could come up with a 1000 different drafts and you'd still be short of options on a few of the gameweeks.

Yeh those GWs just don't feature teams you are going to want many players from in the long term. Going with more Spurs & Pool coverage than I had expected handy having a couple of decentish players who can come in for Saturday failures!

Trimm Trabb · 10-09-2015 4:36pm

How are the final UFPL drafts going?

Mine is done now and just like last year I used too mant transfers GW 1-4 on one week punts and haven't had enough transfers to pick the actual 25 I want! It's only a couple of small tweaks I'm missing out on overall - I'm only really pissed off at managing to be left with Ben Davies in my squad when I swore I would have 8 regular defenders this year.

I haven't got many differential players in my squad - the majority and 20% plus ownership. Its hard to steer clear of the obvious, there aren't too many must have expensive forwards so its much easier to get all round quality squad this year. I went with Pedro over Hazard and Benteke over Kane but other than those 2 have pretty much everyone I would want. I tried to learn from last year and stick with players who I like but haven't scored well in first 4 weeks and not to jump on too many bandwagons - actually Mahrez is another one I left out who I'm slightly worried about.

Anyone gone with any particular strategies in their selection?

jimmii · 10-09-2015 4:56pm

Still happy with the plan I came up with. When it comes to it there will probably be a bit on tinkering done!

jimmii · 10-09-2015 5:13pm

Gone and done it now. Used up all my transfers and immediately regretted it!

Trimm Trabb · 10-09-2015 6:15pm

Did the winner of this last year do any interviews or anything?

Would be interested to know what worked for him in regard to what position he spent money, did he put a lot of emphasis on match days etc.

FFS have had a few articles from one of the regs there who did really well in the beta and last season but didn't really say anything that wasn't obvious.

I'll fire it up tomorrow! Have tried to put together something a little different.

jimmii · 11-09-2015 11:19am

Now is wish I hadn't made a certain transfer so I could bring in Bego and then just have two gks when Courtois comes back! I think with three gks its worth the punt if we do believe he is out for a while.

manual_man · 11-09-2015 11:44am

Chelsea have been ****e in defense. Not sure there's value there

That will surely change at some point and if he is out I wouldn't be surprised if Jose tried to tighten it up at the back to give them a bit more protection.
