English Premier League Thread II

[Sage]

Sage, I'd drop Evra, he's "doubtful" according to fergie's press conference, so he probably won't start, might be worth taking a chance on smalling though

thanks man

Is ferdinand fully fit for the season?

 

[acmilan4ever]

thanks man

Drop Evra and go with Baines or Kolarov

Baines has always done well.

yeah Ferdinand is

baines doesn't play this week, and since david luiz is injured I put Alex instead of evra.

yeah Ferdinand is

I'd choose ferdinand, problem is he is injury prone and fergie likes to start smalling/jones/evans out of the blue.

making a gamble using Rooney for my fantasy team. He is always a slow starter but his preseason form has been awesome.



ACM4E, whats the fantasy code? I'm in a league with my friends on there Wanna register for rnb league

defenders are consistent. Clean sheets= points. Caps=points etc. More than that, crappy defenders get negative points.

Forwards are a position you should rotate on form. Look at Rooney, Tevez etc. When they hit a 'hot streak' it's goals every week. Remember Malouda/Drogba early season?

Am I the only one having trouble logging in at the moment to the FPL?

points distribution is poor ...main source is usually cleansheets and when they concede its no cleansheet points + negative points ...I'm not saying go out and buy a cheapest/crappy defenders just think you need one quality defender,depending on system

Huth,Hangeland,Hughes,Johnson are all good defenders...Goalscoring defenders most 6-5

Drogba still finished as 2nd highest pointscorer (Malouda third)...thats why you should IMO invest heavily in attack and Midfield ...but thats just me

Ba or Shane Long ?

well i'm just saying it's a strategy. My friend used it and won our league. Obviously you need most inform strikers (heavy price).

But even with your drogba point. He racked up majority before november. You could easily get that and if you dropped him early, you could have picked up tevez or rooney or chicarito when they hit form. Make sense?

another great example is berbatov first half

for me a lot of it is analyzing form and fixture list (if i stick with it). You see Man Utd coming up on swansea, wba, wigan etc. (teams who concede a lot) you might wanna load on their attackers.

last year i got f'd. Stuck with rooney too long early season when he was really off form and doing nothing. Then contract situation. By time i came to my senses and dropped him I was sooo far behind all the people who had drogba/malouda. And the smart ones there dropped them by december and moved onto tevez/nani.

Ba, Long will be a bench player after this weekend.

Fail on logic on my part
Well, I came close to winning our league last season
Yep always check for those "gimme" fixtures and alter accordingly

Ba, Long will be a bench player after this weekend.

Demba Ba

[Charbel]

I wanna fix my team, but I can't log in. FML:/

 

[Sage]

Sage why spend so much $$$ on Defenders ?

I didn't, my starting 3 right now have a value of 4.5 and the other two are worth 6 million each.

Baines is too expensive

 

[Charbel]

Will Nani play or will SAF not field him? I have Enrique in my team..who will probably not play with Liverpool..but if he doesn't I have good substitutes that would come in. Same thing for Suarez.

Sinclair and Simpson on bench

Nani is 100% starter

Valencia is not fit, so Nani is 100% sure starter unless SAF is on a WUM mission.

Roberto Mancini hits out at Manchester City board over slow transfers

• 'I asked for Nasri two months ago but I don't have him'
• Carlos Tevez will not play in opener against Swansea

Is Aquilani playing today for Liverpool???

Not sure but i got this from BBC:

1356: Early rumours doing the rounds at the moment that Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is starting with all four new boys in Charlie Adam, Jordan Henderson, Stewart Downing, Jose Enrique against Sunderland today. Full team news when we get it, people.

Edit:

1413: BREAKING TEAM NEWS

Talking of Liverpool, by the way, it is confirmed - Stewart Downing, Charlie Adam, Jordan Henderson and Jose Enrique are all handed debuts against Sunderland, while Luis Suarez also starts alongside Andy Carroll.

 

[Kalac#16]

Apparently it's now illegal to list the PL fixtures.

 

[Dinar]

Is Aquilani playing today for Liverpool???

Starting XI: Reina; Flanagan, Carragher, Agger, Enrique; Henderson, Lucas, Adam; Suarez, Carroll, Downing.

And Aquilani is not even on the bench.
