exactly, i agree he is a good buy but.. either him or gerrard.. hmm maybe ill take lampard over gerrard and partner with arshavin , kuyt and danny murphy, dont really think any1 got that kind of money tho,

Damn i so dont want to leave gerrard out of my team

1 question guys
7.5m zhirkov chelsea guy
quite expensive for a new-comer

he plays as a middfield,but is listed as a defender at FPL
say if he score a winner for chelsea in a 1-0 victory
his points would be:
defender clean sheet +4
appearance +2
middfield clean sheet +1
middfield score goal +5 or as defender score goal +6
bonus +tbc

so if he scores a goal he would be getting this pts?
i cant seem to find an answer for this at the website

-------------Cech-----------
Bosingwa-Terry-Alex-Cole
-------------Deco-----------
------Lampard-Essien------
Anelka--------------Zhirkov
------------Drogba---------

milner will take most of responsiblity now that young is probably leaving for MU

Speaking of AV, they have acquired S.Downing. He used to take Pks and Fks at Boro. So he might be the one to pick next season for AV.

Nope... Cleared.

Both. 

drogba will be hit this term..

---------------EVDS------------
O'Shea-Ferdinand-Vidic-Evra
Valencia-Carrick-Fletcher-Nani
--------Berbatov-Rooney------

Tosic might challenge Nani for left flank, Park to come in for either flank as backup. Fabio, eventhough is leftback, will be given change to play as rightback.

how about wes brown, i think in 2007/2008 he had quite a good season when neville was injured for rest of the season, his fantasy point at that time was quite good worth the money to buy him at that time, does he injured?

horrible grammar lolz r u darre enuf?

ive been thinking about gerrard now.. due to recent alonso departure, its most likely that gerrard will be shifted to CM post rplacing alonso, with that... his attacking duties is now limited... which is y i think its better to buy torres instead.

1 more worth mentioning points is.. defenders tends to concede more early of d season, and it takes them maybe 5 games at least to gel more together, which is y id say a pick of torres- rooney -seb in front not necessary useless, and packing with midfield stars quite a waste with lotsa 6-7mil cheap midfield players.

Lukemjstc, nice blog u have there, quite informative fo a beginner^^

( i doubt ppl will share more in tthis thread due to rivalry perhaps?)
hehe well ill be the joker then,

- ben foster will become available due to Vandersar recent injuries. for 5.5 we all should just forget about reina and cech and use the extra 1mil to upgrade other areas.

players that out of position we should at least put on watchlist-

zhirkov= definte lookout

warnock = will play as winger this term.

steinsson = right winger this term

song = a midfielder misclassed as a def.
more to come? lets just pour out the knowledge, arent that fun when we all in d same thread but keeping ideas to urself, this make it more challenging^^

( replying to ur words on cana in ur blog. hehe promoting ur blog here )

hehe

tq for joining my league..

i try make most possible player (with 100k).... n base on last season standard, they make a lot of point... maybe i will make some change when 2 or 3 game has started..... so who do u pick?

cana influence will definitely help sunderland, however in terms of fantasy points.. he might be struggling to compete a decent overall points. bonus collector max is only 3points, and with this is only his 1st season in epl, where physical really comes 1st... i doubt that he can make a lot of bonus points as a def mid. for example... lets take two of d most fear def mid in epl, essien and mascherano, both arent collecting that much overall points even they get free 1 points from clean sheet, let alone a sunderland team,
However, he indeed is some1 i put in my watchlist, at least until later gw when sunderland gets better fixtures.

gerrard torres combo is quite a bond rafa cant easily break, but he HAVE to if no1 comes and fill d gap alonso left, thus with lamps and gerrard having d same price, id take lamps anytime ( with d latter playing just bhind anelka droggy  and good chelsea early fixtures)

foster... cant really put a preseason and compare it with real epl, believe me he will be at least a differential even if u put him as ur 2nd keeper. at 5mil no1 comes cheaper and with man u defense early fixtures. a guaranteed 6 points in hand for clean sheet. save 1.5 by selling cech or reina

zhirkov... wait till community sheild then decide. warnock and steinsson really is players to watch, take notes that blackburn now under big sam, he definitely will put more to defense.
tips .. NO HULL player. id bet they wont be as lucky as last season getting 3rd early of d campaign. heck they cant even sign a bobby zamora from fulham lol, murphy from sunderland. guess that no1 really wants to go to a relegation candidates team. thank god owen didn joined them.

mendy is good. for his price i agree he is 1 of d best pick, but id rather fork out maybe .5 more mils to get better 5.0 midfielder, and with hull is on their way( prediction) down to relegation , mendy will defo lost his 1point clean sheet this season, even m turner which is a bargain last season dont get my vote now, well.. theres a good news for hull tho, they maybe getting jozy altidore and if that happens.. ill bet on jozy instead of other hull players. even geovanni comes with 5mil will make me to think twice b4 getting any hull players. + hull have a terrible fixture for 1st few weeks.

kurt: for 4.0 defender.. u might want to avoid birmningham's so called super def . they did it in champonship level last season but i doubt it can be repeated here in premiership. heck they even lost 4-1 to Crewe last night( preseason)
so.. ( for 4.0 he most probably just be a sub right?) fork out some money and get a 4.5 defender from stoke at least.
