KevinAshburner 1,270 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Time to quote myself. I had him Gylfi Sigurðsson in my FPL Team but then last night I had too many injuries and had to make tough decisions and take him out. I knew I was gonna regret it but I have bad luck with these type of competitions and prediction scores for football matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 replaced him by Hazard at the last minute and I hope it pays off in a couple of weeks. I have four 9,00 players in my midfield, if they don't start paying back, I'll replace them for Sigurdsson and improve my attack instead. I wasn't bad when I had Costa and Rooney, but I changed it to afford Hazard... blehThat's a pretty good looking team you got there. Doubling up on Everton's defense is probably not the best of ideas given their tough early fixtures but the midfield looks great.Won't be enough to beat me but you can take second place.

Had to replace Terry to have Hazard as I already had Cesc and Costa and wasn't willing to change any of them... didn't know who to pick as I only had 5,5 available... so I went with Jagielka... any suggestions?

Barbara 15,149 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Fonte?I had a couple of Saints players I wanted to add to my team, but they're still a mystery to me as a team. I'll wait a couple of matches before making any bet on their players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For £5.5m I would go for Debuchy or Jones and at £5m there's also Ben Davies. For some reason Davies isn't playing today against West Ham but should be Tottenham's first choice ahead of Rose this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Naismith was on my bench but unfortunately he scored 9 points. My captain Rooney and vice captain Ramsey did well though. 26 points today with 5 players still to play.I believe in Hazard, Fabregas, and Costa.

Barbara 15,149 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 at least having Ramsey made up for the lack of Sigurdsson, so I won't complain much about my midfield.I brought Hazard for the long term, I don't even believe he'll have a good start of season, but I believe he'll tend to be more expensive as time goes by, which means I don't have a four 9-pound men midfield, but three at 9 pounds and one at 10pounds.My odd striker Weimman scored, so that's good. Still I foresee a couple of changes coming in the next two rounds for me. I might drop Jagielka for someone else 5.5 pounds or lower and if Lambert doesn't start well the campaign for Liverpool, I might change him too. The moment Benteke is back in form, I'm getting him though, doesn't matter when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's their #1 taker... and somehow his assists stats are still expressive. One between him and Ramsey will bite the dust soon if they don't give me tons of points. Do you have any idea when Benteke is expected back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I checked correctly I will have 55 points once the bonuses have been added. Not too bad for the first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did finish ahead of you last year and I plan to do it again (come on, I need some comfort prize with the awful first day I had)edit: they were just added and somehow I made 26 points.

The collective points of Siggy and a top striker will bring you more pts than Gerrard and Lambert IMO.I think Bentekkers is a month or so away.

Jype 6,398 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Looks like 55 points was better than I thought it would be, the average score so far is just 22.I’m currently second with just one point behind the leader in a league where the prize for the winner of GW1 is a trip to England for a PL match including all costs so shit’s about to get real. I still have Costa and Hazard to score me some more points but it remains to be seen whether that’s enough to beat my competitors who have some different players left (mostly one or two players like Yaya, Dzeko, Fabregas etc.). None of the others have Hazard so a hat trick for Eden on Monday and I can start planning for my trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankit 3,176 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 After an average first gameweek, where Luis and Ben Davies both did not play, i am now in a dilemma whether i should remove both of them or keep them for one more gameweek and take it from there.
