I've gone ahead and picked a quick team to get this started:

Krul - 4.5
Mannone - 4.5

9 mil spent

Debuchy - 5.5
Baines - 7.0
Shaw - 6.0
Dunne - 4.5
O'Brien - 4.5

27.5 mil spent

Fabregas - 9 mil
Walcott - 9 mil
Sanchez - 10.5 mil
Odemwingie - 6.5
Shelvey -5.5

40.5 mil spent

Dzeko - 8.5
Bony - 8.5
Jelavic - 6.0

23 mil spent. That's a decent stab for a first team IMO. Players are underpriced compared to other seasons IMO.

Well it's quite ironical that I was the last to post in here and was trying to talk wise.

Now I'm considering going a tad misterprodstonly wild :pac:.

Ulloa -> Pellè
Sterling -> Chadli
Ivanovic -> Baines

And there is Diego Costa. If he was out for sure for the QPR home game I'd take my chances and ditch him. Since next is United away and after Liverpool away and then international break.
But of course we don't know how long he's out for. And I don't have great subs for him next week if he doesn't play the next game.
So King -> Boyd is tempting but think it'd be a waste. I can only regret being hesitant about Boyd during my WC. Should have trusted the people saying he'd be a regular at Burnley.

Here's my team

--- edit ---

Ulloa -> Pellè
Sterling -> Chadli

done.

Couldn't wait too much since I only have £0.4m left in bank after doing it and would have lost £0.2m on my first transfer tonight. Actually maybe the full £0.4m if Sterling and Chadli move. Crazy early transfers due (partly only I must be honest :pac: but still partly is a huge negative change IMO) to the new price change blackout.

I understand the excitement such a team could provide BUT (although it is to me much earlier to go down that route anyway) this is the team of someone who's chasing I think. You are not chasing. You're at the top. You're leading. If I were you I'd wait for the "chasers" to take risks and inevitably make mistakes at some point.

For what I remember of your team, I think you can afford 2 of DeGea->Fabianski or Forster (but think you already have Southampton def) / Nolan->Chadli / VP->Aguero without rushing it. In fairness you may only just do the Aguero one since the others don't offer you better fixtures than the ones you already have (well that's of course if Nolan is not restricted to 20min cameos).

it's hardly the craziest team your likely to see (up your game, Mr P

)

Di Maria Hazard Aguero and Costa cant be argued with. Chadli continues to defy expectations. Cisse is bang on form (us 'veterans' from a few seasons back can remember the damage an in-form Cisse can do). Sanchez has underperformed relative to price tag so far - but his class is undoubted and he's guaranteed game time with a lovely run of fixtures...

Defense is a bit of a motley crew. CS have been hard 2come by. If you could re-jig to fit in, say, Azpi, i'd be fairly confident in that aspect too.

The thing about the front 7 - Costa aside, there doesnt seem to be any 'must-haves', as of yet anyway. Just a good number of players vying for our attention (and budgets). To sum up, Mr P, it could work out!

I liked cheap and cheerful until i was awarded 1-2 points for each of them.

I am too lazy to tell you what that team would have scored last week(s), but i am pretty sure it wasn't great.

The midfield / forwards combo might work depending on your formation.

Cisse is a little bit like Turner to me and he seems to have hit the ground running. We know what he can do with a bit of form. For 5.9 it's not totally crazy. Trusting Newcastle I'll readily admit is a little alright :pac:

The defence is a little cheap. However Clyne and Rose would play most weeks for pretty good teams and capable of keeping clean sheets whilst rotating the other 3 for best fit. The Burnley keepers would be the biggest worry there I'll admit.

That midfield is badass though, am I right? Along with Costa and Aguero up front. It's not template, it is a little bit of fun and a little testing the waters with normal people :pac: I don't see why it shouldn't do well though?

Sanchez is a gamble but the kind of one that might be worth it while Walcott/Ramsey get back on their feet. He should see a lot more consistent gametime too and be a bit more settled. Hazard could be set to take off, at the very least I'd expect him to keep par with Fab. No matter whether I play it safe and template or I follow my crazy nose I like to have firepower in my team and don't mind skimping on defenders.

But yeah I'm mainly plugging myself in for a check up on the crazy scale

I think Sanchez is a great shout. He's still a bit too expensive, but if I didn't have Welbz already I would be tempted to swap Cesc for him.
I would wait to see if Wisdom loses his spot to Gamboa.

Great advise if you didn't have Sigs though. Your MID is fine as it is.

So its a tough one. Defence is important too

Two Swansea defenders is too much. So Williams or Fab has to go. With the £4million defenders out there I would ship out Williams.

From this he could upgrade Scheiderlin to a Chadli.

If he further downgrades Rose he would have another £1million to invest in Tadic, Mane, etc...

I would definitely be banking that £2million particularly if I had a Chelsea & City defender in my squad.

Well I see a Chelsea defender as very similar to Kompany. In fact, I brought Kompany in for Cahill in the WC. And they have both score 10 points in the 2 weeks since that transfer!

Baines I see as something different - ie, attacking potential.

You could do Bego to Foster, Wisdom to Moore and Jedinak to Boyd. I think Begovic is a good option but he's definitely not essential and Foster is probably the second best option behind Mannone for his price. These changes should allow you to upgrade Jelavic to D Welbz.

Thanks. Made those changes for now anyway.

sheroman01

My team at the mo. Pretty much the usual team at this stage:

Mannone

Bertand - Robertson - Taylor

Sig - Fabergas - Sterling - Di Maria

Costa - Augero (c) - Ulloa

Subs: Heaton, Chadli, Wilson, Duff

Not sure who to change. I'm thinking of Wilson -> Chambers. Just for the long term.

I see no urgent reason just yet to change the template midfield, certainly not just for the sake of seeking a differential. Fab and Di Maria are unsellable. Siggy returned to form at the weekend and definitely a keeper for now. And while Liverpool have struggled Sterling remains their most dangerous midfielder and will stay for now, at least till it emerges how the return of Sturridge improves the team and potentially Sterlings points potential. Boyd is 4.4m, nuff said.

Cesc has no goal threat though so I wouldn't regard him as unsellable. I think he can keep up his assists, but also think Chadli+3m bank could be more useful. I would also prefer Hazard long term although see it as a sideways move currently.

Begovic Mannone

Costa Aguero Jelavic

Have 0.2 in the bank. I could possibly downgrade Taylor to Moore, Jedinak to Boyd and Mannone to a 4m Keeper which would generate funds to switch Jelavic with Wellbeck. Or bring in Tadic for Sterling? Some help would be greatly appreciated.

FHFC

Just to pass the time in the international break (I fuppin hate the international breaks FPL wise) here's my current team and short term plan.

Forster / Heaton
Clyne, Chamber, Moore, Duff, Hutton
Di Maria, Fabregas, Sterling, Siggy, Boyd (aka the template)
Costa, Ulloa, Pelle.

£8.1m in the bank.
2FTs

Defence / GK
My double Southampton defence has not yielded great results yet (the one CS they got me was unexpected and I had benched Clyne) and is under scrutiny, however they have 4 incredibly favourable fixtures next so will stick for now.

The cheapie defence has returned very poorly in general the last two gameweeks but I'm not giving up just yet, but am considering one change by getting Azpilicueta in for one of the three 4m lads. HOwever after Palace their fixtures arent the best CS wise with Man U and Liverpool away - or are those the very games to bank on a 'Jose Park the Bus' Clean Sheet?

Regarding Chambers, his yellow cards are frustrating but he is a 4.5m starting Arsenal defender. I think its worth persevering for now over other 4.5m options, as Arsenal have good fixtures now for a while and he is liable to get an attacking return at some stage too.

I also have an eye on Baines if I were to make moves elsewhere which resulted in me having the funds.

Midfield
I see no urgent reason just yet to change the template midfield, certainly not just for the sake of seeking a differential. Fab and Di Maria are unsellable. Siggy returned to form at the weekend and definitely a keeper for now. And while Liverpool have struggled Sterling remains their most dangerous midfielder and will stay for now, at least till it emerges how the return of Sturridge improves the team and potentially Sterlings points potential. Boyd is 4.4m, nuff said.

Forwards
Ulloa to Aguero after the internationals is a done deal. The question I remain with is whether to go with Pelle or Welbeck medium term. Pelle had his first blank in 4 games v Spurs, but has three home in the next four (Sunderland, Stoke and Leicester) along with Hull (a). Welbeck has goals in him (as he showed in Europe) but has only 1 big FPL haul among 5 blanks so consistency wise so far way below Pelle.

A final consideration is that there is no obvious value option in the Arsenal midfield if I want Arsenal attacking coverage for their upcoming fixtures, while as suggested by 'Busts elsewhere Tadic (or Mane) are looking good attacking options for Saints good fixtures.

Decisions
So after Ulloa to Aguero I'll have 1.7m in the bank. If I was going Pelle to Welbeck it would be advisable to do it before Hull (h) and two more decent fixtures in Sunderland (a) and Burnley (h). So that is option A for the second FT and would leave me with 2.1m to spend on defence. (If I then went ahead in future weeks to get Tadic or Mane for say Sterling I'd have even more and could move to a mid price defence rather than a cheapie one if that was looking the way to go)

Option B is to look at my defence who after two bad weeks have pretty awful options for next GW too Chambers is out, Moore away to Newcastle, Hutton away to Everton. Duff at home to West Ham not overly appealing either. I could use my second FT to do Hutton to Azpil (Palace a) and leave Welbeck and Pelle another week to audition.

If Welbeck does well for England and starts to bandwagon in price that would also be a consideration, and for -4 I could do all three moves.

Finally if I downgraded Sterling to a Southampton midfielder I could actually afford Clyne to Baines meaning my cheap defence would be not so cheap with Azpil, Baines and Chambers. Too much?

If nothing else this will remind me in a weeks time what I was thinking, and may cover some questions other people are also considering (certainly seems to be based on the General thread). Any thoughts are welcome if any of ye are needing something to occupy the FPL brain cells at the moment!

Does anyone have any suggestions for this team:

Forster - McCarthy

Kompany - Duff - Wisdom - Moore - Wilson

Sterling - ADM - Siggy - Cesc - Boyd

Costa - Aguero - Welbeck

I have 2 FTs, and 0.5m in the bank. But not a single transfer is jumping out at me, however I don't want to waste a transfer either. Obviously there's certain players that I don't have (Pelle, Ulloa, Chadli, Hazard, etc) but I can't have everyone, and it's not immediately who should make way for any of these players.

There are 2 that I am considering:

1. Moore out, Hutton in. Villa are over the worst of their tough run, so I feel Hutton would be a definite improvement without burning through all my banked money.

2. Kompany out, Baines in. Very tempted to have Baines. He's clearly on form, and has good fixtures. But City are over their tough(ish) start which is one of the reasons I got him in 2 weeks ago in my WC. And he returned a very tidy 8 points last week.

Any opinions?! Or any other suggestions for transfers that I'm not seeing?

I'm fairly happy with my set-up now. Going to rotate Chadli and Ulloa as per their fixtures. Sitting 1st and 2nd in most leagues with 314 points. Any feedback on my team is welcome

Sig - Fabergas - Sterling - Di Maria

Costa - Augero (c) - Ulloa

Necronomicon

Yeah, going to 3-4-3 from 3-5-2. Really don't like to take anything above a 4-point hit but I might do, there will undoubtedly be a more urgent need for the WC later.
