very true... and tbh that squad doesnt look amazing in terms of coming weeks potential... things like Chambers one week monster mega-haul is just one of those things but obviously benefited a lot of managers up near the top

No thinking outside the box with that team apart from no Fabregas which is surprising given his high ownership.

11 for me (I'm counting Betrand as he and Clyne have been so similar). Only differences are that I have Hazard, Austin, Wilson and Hamer.

I think many defences will change quite dramatically over the next few weeks.

It just shows that a portion of the top 1,000 have swapped Fab to Haz so the ownership is split between the two. Surprised still that the three cheap mids feature so much.

Had 11 of that 15 and had a disastrous GW. Surprised that this is the top 1k template team...

An interesting article I've mentioned before.....

re. the January wildcard

Can someone clear this up for me? Its not making a lot of sense

"The January Wildcard can only be used after Gameweek 20 starts (1 Jan 11:30) until Gameweek 23 ends (1 Feb 11:30)"

Gameweek 23 fixtures run from (earliest) 31 Jan @12:45 until (latest) 1 Feb @16:00

Somethings not adding up here

Ziegler1988 · 26-11-2014 02:34AM

It says 7th of Feb at 1130 for me on the site

So it does, under the FAQ... in the Rules section it actually states 1st Feb

Yeah probably just a typo

I was on FF Scout last night and saw a member had the name Ag Imirt Pelle. I almost applauded.

Might be an idea to inform them all the same. You know someone who made a balls of their Jan wildcard would use it as an excuse to try and get another one.

If I had 3 then I'd definitely use one this week

Still giving it some real thought, maybe even a little more than most weeks.

How's your team shaping up currently, out of interest? You're still a fair bit ahead of me, though I closed the gap somewhat this week

I've been coasting for the last month or so really. 8k at the moment.

That's what I have, Pelle is 7.9 having dropped last night.

So my backline has its issues and Tadic and Pelle too. It's remedied with a few hits and I can see things I might like to do but Costa is still annoying me.

Yeah I have Costa too but I'm tempted to ditch him for the festive period as soon as he gets that fifth yellow. I have Hazard too. My only Saint is Clyne, but in your position with 3, along with Colo and Moore, I think I'd have pulled that trigger already! Up to you, but be aware that you may haemmorage a lot of squad value by NOT playing it this week. Below is my squad for comparison:

Guzan Gilks

Clyne Baines Duff Moore Dummett

Sanchez Hazard Siggy AdM King

Rooney Costa Austin

1.7 ITB, 1 F/T

Ticking along OK but a few things need sorting, my 2 Leicester duds have to go, need to get Kun back (probably for Costa), Clyne has been an absolute hero but I'm now considering ditching him for Isla this week, which would leave me enough funds to do a straight Costa->Kun swap next week if needs be. WC used of course!

Shame you're £0.3m short to a combined Pellè + Tadic -> Austin + ADM.
You still could do it but for an 8 pts hit with downgrading Coloccini to Dummett (but be quick or be dead :P since Dummett is bound to rise tonight).

Very strong team bar no Aguero.

It actually took me a bit of time to wonder how you managed this team since I first read Aguero for Rooney :P.

jimmii · 26-11-2014 05:31PM

Lose Tadic & Pelle for ADM & Austin or do we think its better to keep hold of one?

d'you know that could be genius iroced. AdM and Austin could easily make up that 8pts this gameweek, as well as benefitiing team value, and Mr P gets to hold on to his WC for a "while" more :P:P:P:P:P:P:P

Mr.Prodston · 26-11-2014 05:41PM

In the last 3 weeks I've sold, bought and sold ADM :pac:

Tadic to ADM is probably impossible as a direct swap for many anyway. So considering the fixtures I'd say that ADM + Austin should outscore the Saints combo over the next 3 weeks. Of course the difference between "should" and "will" could be huge :rolleyes:

Cheers manual_man. I hope if it's not genius it's at least a good move since it's one I'm probably going to do (not the exact same players to ditch though and did half of it already) since I need to do something to kickstart my season. I'm actually planning a big hit (-8 or -12 for at least the next 3 GWs and hope it'd pay off over that period). Sounds like an early gamble but I'm stagnating above the top 100k mark and I feel if I do nothing I'll just continue to stagnate there.

Lol yeh for sure. Same way captaining Aguero over Ings should give you more points! Its that or do Pelle>Austin & upgrade Cameron to Rangel or something boring like that.

It's the nature of the game a few educated gambles from time to time are needed to kick on in this. Of course looking more medium-term is important too, but even in this sense it would be hard to argue against said moves, i think most would agree that Austin+AdM are a good bet to outscore Tadic+Pelle between now and the new year anyway. re. Tadic i'm finding it hard to think of a Premier League player i like more at the moment, he's an absolute joy to watch, but in strict fpl terms he hasn't really done it yet (bar that one super gameweek, when almost no one had him!) - although he's a super player to have in Ultimate fpl, for anyone who's playing that.

jimmii · 26-11-2014 06:00PM

Yeh Tadic & Fabregas etc are perfect for UFPL they just seem to hover up points no matter what they do.

Ah don't mind him Mr P. That wildcard can wait another little while, right?!
