Play Nice Fantasy EPL - 16/17

[SloaneysDanger]

What's the issue?

EDIT: For some reason read that as defenders lol.

I originally had De Gea and Friend, but figured Shaw is more likely to get forward and attack, while Valdes may well earn more save points than De Gea. United may well get more CS than Boro, but they had an absolutely fierce home record last season in terms of goals conceded, so could see them having a season similar to Swansea when they first went up, where they don't concede many at home.

So you intend on playing Valdes every week?

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Whats the latest on Ozil and De Bruyne?

Looks like Ozil is no chance according to the website and any City fans clear up De Bruyne?

Looking at either Firmino, Miki, Martial, Hazard or Sanchez as replacements.

Wenger already said Ozil won't be ready this week I think.

 

[elhadjihenry]

No chance Ozil plays this weekend.

I figured this and I was hoping for info on De Bruyne

Yep. Jak there if I really want a change.

I'm not convinced forking out on a keeper is worth it.

Considering changing my keepers to Foster and Heaton/Valdes. Foster has good fixtures to start and Heaton/Valdes are good backups. I think having a keeper on your bench who is actually capable of a clean sheet is a good idea. With Hull's current situation I don't see a clean sheet any time soon.

kdb has apparently said it's unlikely he plays gw1 but im still picking him.

I'd rather a cheap keeper who will play every week to be honest. Keepers rarely outscore defenders, so having Shaw instead of De Gea isn't a huge hit I don't think.

A double United defence/goalkeeper wouldn't be a bad thing.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Rotating keepers rarely works. Nothing more frustrating than when your 4.5 keeper on the bench gets an unexpected 6 while your on-field 4.5 keeper scores 1.

I prefer to have a 4.0 on bench and invest the extra 0.5 on field. 4.5 keepers can also score just as well, if not better than the more expensive keepers from the better teams (see Butland and Gomes last year) so I rarely spend more than 5.0 on a starting keeper.

Better options than Dier. DM's are never usually a good pick in FPL.

Just traded Miki out for Mahrez, not sure if I should switch back.

Dier is a weird one, he's not going to score that well.

Why won't Dier do well? he got decent 130 last season for his price 5.5.

And he scored a nice goal at the Euros. /Perez

That's because he was a defender last season in FPL.

Oh

That's how I started off, can't afford it now.

[jd2010]

Will keep track of KDB news and re work eriksen and siggy to get him into the side

 

[SloaneysDanger]

I'm not even considering Swansea players right now. They look ordinary and losing Williams destroys their defence.

Yeah I'm hoping at worst Williams is there just for Burnley and then moves to Everton

 

[A Bit High]

Surely Sanchez plays up front for The Arse this week doesn't he...

 

[Van_Dyke]

Thoughts?

 

[A Bit High]

Here is my team at the moment.

Foster (Heaton)
Stones - Morgan - Van Aanholt - Shaw (McCauley)
Sugurdsson - De Bruyne - Ozil (Hojbjerg, Ibe)
Rondon - Aguero - Lukaku

Change since the Ozil/De Bruyne doubts

Foster (Heaton)
Stones - Morgan - Van Aanholt - Shaw (McCauley)
Sugurdsson - Sanchez -Firmino (Hojbjerg, Ibe)
Rondon - Aguero - Costa

 

[Magma]

courtois (jakupovic)
funes mori stones morgan (amat mcauley)
hazard deulofeu feghouli kdb (allen)
benteke lukaku kun

is what im currently sitting on. funes mori probably becomes williams once that is done. sunderland are also interested in jagielka now so might be worth a look at that.

Walcott?

Thoughts?

Avoid all Hull players besides Jak. Much better choices at 4.5 than Robertson.
Double Everton midfield is something I am yet to see anywhere. Not ideal.

 

[Cruyff14]

Updated, but will no doubt change it again

DDG (Jak)
Shaw, Stones, Morgan (Amat, McAuley)
Firmino, Hojberg, Deulofeu, KDB (Ibe)
Kun, Ibra, Rondon

Unsure on Firmino, and don't know whether to downgrade DDG and upgrade elsewhere.

What are people's thoughts on my side overall?
