General FPL Chat Season 2013/14

Scorpion Sting

If there was a double gameweek happening, wouldn't it surely be confirmed by now? Afaik last year Chelsea's DGW was announced before the Sky TV schedule was released.

Just fishing for some info folks. I renewed a private league as administrator but cant find where to get the actual league code in case there are new players, is it possible to find that somewhere on the site?

roryc

Go to the 'administer league' icon (under 'Actions' tab in 'Leagues'), then click on the 'Send Invite' tab. It will give you the code and also the ability to send invites directly to email addresses.

Thanks Rory.

Is there a new app for 13/14, or will the one from last season still work? I cannot log into my 12/13 app, but I could the other day.

fantasy football buddy still works fine, it's not an offical app but can do everything you need from it.

Just saw that the official app is free at the minute on the App Store. Hopefully it will cover the new season too, bit pointless to make it free otherwise

managed to get Bale, Hazard, Walcott and Aguero into my first draft, along with Terry.

happy with that foundation for now.

i have Aspas in too for now, which is my main issue. it's him or Kone atm. i'll come back to it in a few days. i reckon it could still look very different come GW1. many transfers will go through for EPL clubs before the season starts IMO.

for one, if Rooney goes to Chelsea, there'll be some re-jigging to do!

Might be similar to my current squad?

very similar indeed.

i'm not going to bother putting my full team up until the season starts, but you've about half my squad there.

Coleman is certainly a must have, then with so many striking options, it's hard to see how too many teams will be the same.

Do you think Kolo Toure will be first choice for us? I know Coleman could be out of position, but we've great fixtures to start the season and hopefully some clean sheets. If Toure plays i'd rather him than Coleman myself. I don't think Rodgers fancies Skrtel at all, if we don't sign another centre half i'd fancy Toure to start. Suppose we'll learn more as preseason develops.

SlickRic

Kolo is another great call.

i think it's quite obvious Rodgers doesn't really rate Skrtel, so Toure would be decent Liverpool cover.

If Toure was 1st choice I would fit him in but most certainly not at the expense of Coleman. Coleman is the bargain of the game so far.

Both are great value. However martinez's teams are very attacking I can see liverpool keeping a fair few more clean sheets than everton. Obviously coleman will get more attacking points than toure. If toure is a guaranteed starter Id slightly favour Toure.

Jax Teller

No harm in having them both .

thats what I plan to do both are great value.

Anelka is starting up front with Rosenberg for WBA this evening.

roryc

Interesting - wonder if he'll get much gametime? If he starts the first couple of games and bags a goal his value should shoot up.

He has great potential - but then so did Robbie Keane last season

Too risky imo

That's my current (starting) midfield too. If Bellamy's knees hold up then he will be good value IMO, potentially a big bargain at that price if Cardiff can score goals. He'll play very close to the front and takes his fair share of set pieces.

My thoughts:

1) Coleman. Have him, great value but not convinced of hype, Everton had loads of CS last year (esp the end) which will surely not happen with Martinez. My experience is it is not worth the stress trying to predict attacking points of defenders (baines excluded

2) I don't like Anelka at the moment. WBA got Di Santo too, I smell a lot of rotation, remember Clarke last year?

3) For Bellamy owners, have a look at Whittingham. I think he is main set piece man including pens? Has a great goalscoring record too. I think someone said on another forum Bellamy is not nailed on, I don't know...any cardiff fans out there!

Buddy works well, but its got the wong jerseys on the players atm e.g. Aguero in a Norwich shirt. Hopefully theyll get it fixed soon.

Frazier Campbell could be one to look at in the £5.5m striker range. 7 goals in his 12 games for Cardiff after they signed him in Feb. I'm guessing he'll play up front with Cornelius? Another new signing at £5.5m, but hasn't actually played a game for Cardiff yet.

Invincible

City have signed Jovetic, Dzeko not that appealing in front three anymore.

Can you get it for iPhone?

Benteke has signed a contract extension now until 2017, so there goes his possible Spurs move.

Reina off to Napoli on loan for the year . Good for all of us ,No need to worry who'll play now .

It's annoying because toure is great value at 5m. Toure + Szcesney costs 10.5m. Mignolet + Mertesacker costs 11m. I may plump for the former.

given their early season fixtures i may double up on mignolet & toure if toure looks set to be first choice which i think he will be.
