What's people's target for the season? The only league I lost last year was my work one where a lad finished just outside the top 1k so it has to be my aim to try and secure all the private leagues I'm in.

Very hard to say as had a surprisingly good finish last year and hard to base my expectations on one good year. Have entered three pay leagues (the Loi ones) and have just moved to a new office in work and they've a leaguee at a tenner a head too. Would like to do well in them but hard to know what target to set overall. 8k last year so anything in top 20k would probably be realistic.

To finish 1st overall.

aha_sender · 15-08-2014 09:22AM

To finish top 100

Dietsquirt · 15-08-2014 09:50AM

Not many are picking Ashley Young, just over 5%. He's a good pre-season. He's 5.5M.

Ive decided Siggy out - Young in.

Is Davies for Spurs nailed on?

Dubliner28 · 15-08-2014 09:54AM

Ashley Young or Henderson ???

zarquon · 15-08-2014 09:58AM

Looking to make it inside top 1K.

To win a league or two especially a money one if possible.
First time entering money leagues so while some hate the H2H format it represents a good chance to win some money for me.

I stuck him in too - with no wing backs he's nailed on for a start and is taking corners also so should be good for an assist or 2

Coat22 · 15-08-2014 10:05AM

Any good IOS apps out there worth considering?

SpaceCowb0y · 15-08-2014 10:49AM

Any Stoke fans on here care to tell if they think Wilson is a certain starter?? FFS seem to think he will and bringing him in for Pieters allows me to bump Sigurdsson up to Sterling. At £4.5mil it's a bargain for Stoke defence too with their early run of fixtures

I've never met a stoke fan in Ireland (or anywhere else if I'm being honest)
Wilson appears very likely to start this week but for how long is anybody's guess, there are plenty of options right along the backline for Hughes.
One thing about Wilson is that he never scores, ever (except fo that wondergoal for Ireland)

Lucas Hood · 15-08-2014 10:56AM

Wait for Hughes' press conference and see if he gives any hints to see who'll start.

LostArt · 15-08-2014 11:05AM

Costa and Wilshire or Sterling and Giroud?

Ha I've never met one myself now that i think of it but i thought there was someone posting regular updates on them at least on here? Not too worried about him getting goals as long as the CS potential is there as i reckon swapping Sigurdsson out for Sterling should more then make up for any points Pieters will get for going forward.

fucking stress of this all, listening to the FFS podcast has only made things less clear for me now too :rolleyes:

I still cant believe theres no android fantasy football app in this day and age. Having to use the website on a phone is such a pain.

Or is there an app and im just blind?

dahat · 15-08-2014 11:07AM

Fantasy football buddy

Fantasy football manager

Both not official but pretty good.

km79 · 15-08-2014 11:12AM

debuchy and Blackett or
Jones and chambers.....
will have .5 in bank to upgrade when either lose place (prob to Ben Davies)
I was see on united defensive cover due to fixtures but now I'm not so sure they are worth 5.5

Thatsfootball · 15-08-2014 11:27AM

Is Ramsey/Costa a better option than Fab/Giroud?

Loads of times posted in here. There are several, the best of which is Differential FPL which costs €1.20 but well worth it. Loads of free ones too.

Fabregas will play deeper for Chelsea, I don't think he will be amongst the very top point getters

Ormus · 15-08-2014 11:54AM

Which £4m goalie is most likely to start?

I'm guessing none of them will start. Do Myhill or Gilks have half a chance?

Arnold Tanzarian · 15-08-2014 11:59AM

Im not so sure about that, from my understanding he will have a license to roam forward at his will with Matic being the ultra defensive midfield player.

To give out 30 superb prizes in the 5th Bohs FF Comp and win a prize in the Finn Harps FPL Comp

I'd be delighted with top 50k finish but top 100k would be great.

Your setting your target quite low there,
I finished just outside top 10k last year in my first full season. Hoping to improve on that obviously. Top 5k is my target at this early stage. I'd be afraid to go much higher. If I was in the top 500 or so it would probably take over my life and the weekends would be absolute hell. As it is I spend far too long thinking about it when I should be doing other things like sleeping:o

John83 · 15-08-2014 12:35PM

Anyone with any ideas of how the City attack with lineup?

I've had Dzeko in every draft until today. And now that's he's gone I'm worried I'll miss out on the City attack. I know City have a tough opening, but Dzeko has shown in the second half of last season that he can score in the tougher fixtures; with or without Aguero in the side.

I just feel uneasy about putting the unproven Costa in my lineup over the proven Dzeko.

highgiant1985 · 15-08-2014 12:50PM

Edit: my post is in reply so someone who asked is a player likely to start.

I've been using the following to get an idea of the likely starting line ups. Obviously no one knows for sure and not sure how accurate it is or isn't but its something...

GLaDOS · 15-08-2014 12:54PM

Minimum expectation is top 10k
