Til Mertesacker returns?

When is that likely to be?

Chambers + Diego Costa

or

Cahill + Giroud

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Defender themed questions and goooooo

What are peoples thoughts on wisdon for west brom was he brought in as cover or will be be a starter?

How do ye see hulls backs shaping up, Is Rosenier a starter?

Presume chambers will be out when mert is back?

Is Cameron a starter for stoke and Luis for chelsea?

The Wild Bunch

With no Sagna I think Chambers will go to right back

Chambers-Mertesacker-Koscielny-Debuchy

debuchy is a right back also

I'm pretty sure that has no real chance of happening unless Gibbs (probably Monreal too) is injured

Gibbs is a left back and Monreal is a liability?

Chambers is a natural fit at RB, and Wenger didn't spend 16 million for him to sit on the bench

Jenkinson shipped out too so Chambers the obvious choice

Alfred Borden

As an Arsenal fan our back 4 when all our fit will be Debuchy-Mert-Kos-Gibbs. Wenger sees chambers more as a CB or DM but will probably go rb when debuchy gets injured

Debuchy will be the starting right back? Has he ever even played left back?

Chambers played centre half, and Wenger says he sees him as a DM too, not saying he will not play RB at some stage, but Gibbs is starting left back and Debuchy starting RB...unless Wenger plays a massive curveball

The Wild Bunch

My bad - never knew Wenger rated Gibbs as a first choice LB

Cahill + Giroud - Chambers could be very short-term.

Sanchez + Erikson
Or
Fabregas + Ramsey

1. Wisdom will start a chunk of games this year I'd be pretty certain. At the start of the season they're stuck with a few injuries already so he'll be there from the get-go. Can cover RB and CB so I reckon how much he continues to play will depend on his performances in the first few weeks.

2. Can't say for sure, don't know them well enough as a team. Seems like there's been a 3 CB with wing backs approach in pre-season, with Robbie Brady as a wing back (sounds like the United situation)

3. Not necessarily, I reckon he'll be in and out of the team for the rest of the season after starting the first few weeks. Arsenal have a tough start and CL qualifiers so I wouldn't want to spend much on any of their defenders. I reckon he's worth a punt. If he gets a clean sheet GW1 he's likely to rise then if he's dropped you can bank profit in switching to another 4.5

4. I do not expect Cameron to start for Stoke. Should be 4 from Huth, Shawcross, Pieters, Wilson and Bardsley

5. Chelsea's backline is another toughie. I think Azpil will play a handful of games more than Luis over the season as he covers both sides, but neither will be nailed on every week. At 6.0 I'd pick Azpil. It's another case of picking 4 from 5.

Probably Fab and Ram. Slighty uncertainty as to how Sanchez will start I suppose.

The Wild Bunch

Anyone going 4-3-3 with 3 top strikers?

My MF and FW line looks like

Mata
Fabregas
Sanchez

Costa
Rooney
Giroud

Lack of reliable point scoring defenders/Keepers will come back to haunt you, and you will have a difficult choice of captain

Difficult choice of captain... You say that like it is a bad thing?

FHFC

Lads. Just downloaded the FPL Wizard app a few people mentioned.

Genius stuff. Free. Go get it.

Analyses rotation options for 2 and 3 player defensive rotations. Rotating 3 players for one or for two spots.

Will take form into account during season also.

Cheers mate, thats a really good answer and giving me some food for thought.

Wasn't sure if I should drop Mannone + Krul for DDG + Hamer, but decided, 'Screw it, I'm going for it.' Glad I've nailed down that decision.

Had to look him up. Here's some trivia:

"Hamer was born in Chard, Somerset and is a Bristol City fan. His family moved to Germany at the age of 3 and, consequently, he is a fluent German speaker"

:pac:

I know someone who lives in Chard!

She knows f*** all about FPL though.

It's also an excuse to call your team "Hamer Time"!

Downloaded the official FPL app just there, pretty good I reckon. Only thing is it doesn't seem to allow you to manage your Ultimate team, is there a separate app for that do people know?

Requires an Android device though doesn't it?

The official one isn't available on android then? Used fantasy football buddy last season but it hasn't been updated yet. Sent an email to devs to see what the story is with it.

What do these apps do/have?
