How reliable are they? Some of it seems like guesswork to an extent, in that they're working off the same info as us and we as a massive collective are frequently uncertain.

Guesswork just like you or me.

A lot on here could put up line ups and end up getting as much of them correct as total fpl and ffs.

I think so too, but still it's good that they are doing the donkey work aswell!!

Hazard or Sanchez?

Pulis leaving has made me doubt my choice of Hazard...

I follow football quite closely during the season but I can't keep track of who said what at each press conference. They get it wrong quite a bit obviously but I find those predicted lineups invaluable a lot of the time, I certainly wouldn't disregard them.

The first game is obviously a bit of a guess but they're usually spot. Having said that, Mourinho pretty much said Ivanovic would start.

8-10

Terry or Cahill
Eriksen or Lamela
Dzeko or Giroud
Mata or Ramsey
Coloccini or NTaylor

.....?

rosskind

Depends how long you're planning on keeping your Chelsea defender but both are safe enough short term.

At the top of their game, I think they're pretty close (I'd edge Eriksen) so given their respective seasons last year, Eriksen is less risk.

Dzeko is criminally underrated imo but is lacking fitness (so is Giroud) and Jovetic looked better in the community shield so I went for him.

Depends if you have any teammates but I'd edge Mata.

It's close, I'd look at the fixtures to see when you'd be playing them. Gun to my head, I'd say Swansea.

Alfred Borden

Barkley out for 6 weeks

The Wild Bunch

So lads, Giroud or not?

Having a scooby what to do

SpaceCowb0y

Final decision i need to make before heading out and away from the stress of all this!

Henwin

Anyone else getting Wickham? 3 goals at pre season, on pens and takes direct fks.

Is there any 4.5 million striker who would be anywhere near getting some minutes? I'll be playing a 3-5-2 mostly it seems and the striker is usually gonna be the third sub.

Not really, Lee's been on fire for WHU in preseason and with Carroll and Valencia injured he may get a few runs. Wouldn't bet on it tho.

If you can stretch to 5.0 then Lukas Jutkiewicz has been starting and scoring for Burnley in pre-season.

I've gone for Zamora, he might get a few minutes here and there...hoping I'll never need him though!

the whole year inn

jack rodwell will he get game time?

Lemlin

It's like Christmas Eve in here with all the excitement

cathmhaoil1

To the Arsenal Fans out there

Ramsey or Sanchez, i have been swapping them round day.

Also Giroud, yay or nay?

was all set and now with barkley out i have ended up making 3 changes fml

Have 2 many teams in various leagues.

- Main team
- Ultimate team
- A single season squad but with the ability to change capt/vc team line up and order of subs each week
- A single season team with no changes allowed whatsoever apart from 1 wildcard in Jan

All with $'s at stake, cant end well, spreading myself too thinly. Ultimate the biggest candidate of getting binned as the single season ones require minimal impact. The last few days of finalising line ups has been a headwreck though. Gonna get out for a spin on the bike in the morning and try miss most of the last minute $hite

who ya get for barkley

Hackers

In similar position, have 1st 3 you have listed. €70 in the pot in the boards FSA ultimate pay league will make it worthwhile to stick with it as like you say it could be the one to pull the pin on otherwise.

Just copped on we are in a lot of the same leagues, best of luck!!

I have 3 players from Chelsea, Arsenal and United.

Lol.

I wonder what Barkley's value will be down to in 6 weeks time. Still has 28% ownership right now.

Total Fpl have put up their predicted lineups.
Of interest is Blackett, James and Young for united.
Cameron to miss out for Stoke
Bruce as part of a back 3
No Giroud
Isgrove is in their team
No Luis or Oscar for Chelsea


Make what you want from that.

Reinforcing all my decisions - Pieters, Isgrove and Van Aanholt. Beautiful.

As for the info on totalfpl, of course its guesswork! What else would it be? But its educated guesswork. If you come to one conclusion based on the evidence at hand, and dedicated sites come to the same, then it makes your life easier. In the long run decisions like this pay off. No one bar the manager knows who will play.

FFS not predicting Isgrove to start btw.
