Martin Kelly is a rb, palace have joel ward who is an excellent player , arguably there player of the season last year, unless there gonna play ward as a cdm (which they did a bit last year) I wouldnt be rushing into buy this guy just yet.

Are Ward, Dann, Hangeland nor fairly sure starters for Palace? Could Kelly slot in at LB instead of Williams/Delaney?

perhaps yeah! dont really rate martin kelly at all myself as a player but defo cant see him dis-lodging ward as rb anyway, as you said palace dont look particularly strong at lb so might be a spot there for him, and if he starts regularly could be cheap option at 4.5 with palace under pulis being v solid at the back.

Does anyone know when the first FFS podcast will be available?

Anybody got an opinion on Isgrove v Ward Prowse on who is the more likely starter and points scorer. Had in Ward Prowse but people here seem to like Isgrove i personally never heard of him.

Seriously torn between Fabregas and Hazard! Hazard hasn't done much pre-season but then again he is Hazard and can turn it on at any minute and should be playing in a much more attacking position the Fab however Fabregas has done well pre-season getting up creating chances.

Also Sturridge/Costa is doing my nut in. The heart says Sturridge but the general feeling i get around these parts is Costa is the way to go!

fuck this game and all the stress that comes with it! The deadline can't come quick enough

Anyone any thoughts that might help to push me in one direction of the other??

Have a look at what you would do with the extra million, and compare the 2 situations.

For example, Hazard + O'Shea vs Fabregas + Debuchy. That always helps me.

I've currently got Fab selected and have 1mil in the bank and don't know what to do with it! I think that's what worries me! I also have Sturridge selected so can easily swap him for anyone! Money doesn't seem to be an issue as i like the look of my team its just those two decisions i can settle on. I mean i don't feel i should just buy Hazard because i can afford him if Fab has a high chance of out scoring him?

Backstreet Moyes

Any thoughts on Adam Johnson at 6.5 scored well last season and should score well for dribbling.

Yeah it's always hand to have 0.5 or 1.0 in the bank so you can easily transfer in whoever rips it up in GW1.

Have you posted up your team recently, out of interest?

Is there additional points for dribbling this year? Checked the rules but couldn't seem to see anything

In the BPS system which is used to calculate bonus points, they award a point for every successful dribble.

Fairly sure i read someone say it here.

Shaw is out for a month so Young at 6.5 is very attractive with United's fixtures and his pre season form.

I think Young is only 5.5. Can't access it here in work

Ah, right, thanks. I just assumed there would be one up before GW1.

Mr. Incognito

Young isn't a punt. He's a midfielder who will be playing as a defender. He may well be scoring or assisting the odd game but no where near as much as other midfielders like Siggy who are essentially playing off the strikers.

No clean sheet bonus- no point

He'll be getting forward a ton and Siggy played in the wide position in Swansea's last friendly to accomodate Bony and Gomis.

He will be starting for the first 6 fixtures with shaw injured more than likely , which are extremley winnable from utd perspective. He's position is wing back sure, but anyone who has seen the united system in pre season knows that they sure as hell attack too. He scored twice in 1 game in the states and put in a couple of excellent performances also. An absolute steal at 5.5 imo, I will deffo have him in my team for the first month anyway.

United have an easy start and should score goals. Young is not playing as a defender he is a wing back who will be bombing forward offering width from the left. He has scored and assisted a few in pre season. at 5.5 he is attractive for the first few weeks.

If he's a steal at 5.5 then what is Shaw at 6.0 with added clean sheet points? I think you're exaggerating, he might turn out to be a good pick but he's not a steal.

CSF

I can't get my head around the logic here, Young wouldn't have made my team last year had he been starting as a winger at that price, now he's a fullback and people are creaming themselves.

What is this sorcery?

HAHA Shaw is injured for the first month of the league man so hes hardly any value at 6.0 now is he !! Look all im saying is hes a nailed on starter since shaw is injured, united are more thank likely going to win defo 5/ their first 6 games and the boy is playin out of his skin in pre season. Makes sense to me and in my eyes hes great value considering. If you dont agree thats fine too. I will more than likely sub young out once the first 6 games of the season have been played by the way

Yep, people are getting massively confused here. Young playing as a wing back is bad for FF. Not good. Bad.

Since the day it was made. Think its a keeper. I've offered the same lad 5/2 again so if lightening strikes twice I'm sure there will be a new and improved video come May.
