General FPL Chat Season 2013/14

iroced

So. We could have Rooney and Yaya out for the season.
Hazard may not be as essential as he used to be. At least for the next 2 games (with the CL semis perspective I guess Mourinho will take no risks vs Sunderland and then they travel to Anfield).
How fit is Aguero? We'll see Wednesay I suppose...

That's 2 or 3 big players out making the middle priced players much more appealing again (e.g. Eriksen ATM).

So, that's an advantage players with a high team value had which is vanishing away...

I was just thinking the same myself. Plus expensive defenders like Terry are still proving their worth.

If i have to sell yaya I'll probably double up on chelsea defence with azpi and cahill in for Baines and get Silva, Mata and RVP for DGW37.

I would consider Chicharito in for Lukaku if RvP and Rooney are out and Moyes seems like he's picking a consistent team (yeah right :rolleyes:)

Right but I thought he was out for the season... Is he due back? His return could reshuffle the cards.

See other thread. Have put up a few links. He posted videos of himself in training yesterday. Could be back for DGW.

On another note I passed 1, 500 posts (all on this forum) since September today. Thanks for having me. As someone who hasn't engaged with a Web forum for many years yous have largely restored my faith in the Internet! And also proved that deep down I'm still an opinionated ****er who cant shut up.

Think I'm learning the ropes. Just don't mention Distins yellow, Terry's 'goal' and never ever disrespect Michael Turner.

When it comes to consistency, you have to take your hat off to the leader, he has been number 1 in the world for 8 weeks running, in last 17 weeks he fell to 3rd once, and straight back up to first one week after, and fell to 2nd, and straight back to first.

His lowest ever rank was 4334 in GW2:eek::eek::eek:

I beat him last year!

gotta laugh some times at lads thinking theyve won leagues

sadly this isnt a paid league so no biggie

this lad stopped playing a month ago
pretty sure he was top 5k then and 130-140 ahead
of the rest of us

so ive clawed his lead back as a result with him playing yaya
hazard studge and them injured and now im 8 ahead

obviously tuned back in and made 3 transfers this week in a panic
certainly made me laught
now if only the two above me in the money league would have
a lapse or two

extra gravy

There's a planned tube strike in London on Monday 28th which is due to start in the middle of the Arsenal - West Brom game. No word yet about whether the game might be affected but it's just something to bear in mind for those considering getting Arsenal players in early this week.

Seems it's being fairly widely reported that Moyes is about to be sacked.

Ings will be a good cheapie striker next year. Also Kightly could be good for points.

A good cheap striker.... Seems like a while since one of them entered the equation.
Would be nice to see it next year though... It's been hard to see beyond the expensive ones this year

Just looking at my ranking for each quarter:

Q1 891k
Q2 133k
Q3 94k
Q4 20k
Overall 48k

I have made slow and steady progress each quarter and am currently on a run of only 3 red arrows in the last 18 weeks rising from 350k to 48k. My season low point was after GW5 when I was ranked 1.2m!

I've actually followed the same run as my previous 2 seasons. I always seem to blow up in the last few gameweeks. Last year it was not having RVP when everyone captained him, this year it will be probably be the week just gone.

Q1 192k
Q2 40k
Q3 4k
Q4 191k

Overall rank 4,500 (down from 2,700 last week). Hopefully having a decent team for the final DGW will pay off.

How do you check your ranking for each quarter?

Go to the league table and you will see an option at the top to filter through a range of options, months and quarters.


I'm 218 in the world for quarter 4.:cool:

218 is pretty damn good!

I've steadily improved over the season, up to 5k overall now. I always make too many transfers in the first half of the season every season(31 this season over the first 19 weeks) but it seems to work out in the end:

Q1 - 237k
Q2 - 93k
Q3 - 19k
Q4 - 17K
