Fantasy Premier league 2014/15 Official Thread

[Killer River]

Just wanted to say what a sick level of competition there is in this group! I crept into the top 1% overall today yet don't even make the top 10 of the £10 league :0

Special shout to Marc Carnie too - setting the pace hitting the illustrious top 100 in the world this week - as you do!

Nice work Marc

Thanks guys, just been very lucky this season so far.

A lot of good players in the blonde league not far behind me, a good week for any of them is all it takes to change everything. so that will keep me on my toes.

so glad i only entered the free game

sitting midway in the league scored above average points for the week and only 1 team above me scored less points than me

too many experts in this game and i am making too many school boy errors

Actually mate, you're doing pretty well for your debut season. You're in the top 10% of players after all.
One good thing you're doing is you're very disciplined on taking point hits, you haven't had any! You probably should do a couple and your team at the moment could certainly do with a bit of surgery. The thing most novice players do is they do too many hits and they aren't buying wisely in the 1st place which just compounds it.
You've spent waaaaaaay too much in defence and keepers and that has a knock on effect meaning you have a weak midfield and relatively light attack. You need to move the money out of defence/keepers and into midfield and attack.
If I had your team, this is what I'd do.
Aguero is tearing the game apart so he would be my 1st priority.
I'd sell Pelle+Jags+Tadic and buy Aguero+Yun+Downing. The beauty of that is, it is wise to have at least 2 good captain choices. Rooney+Aguero fit the bill and they rotate perfectly as one is always at home every week.
The following week I'd sell Lovren+Rodwell+Valencia and buy Hutton+Siggy+Kane.
I'd selll most of the rest too but that would be the main problems.
Best of luck!

i am trying to make it to transfer window without taking a points loss
i thought my defence was quite reasonably priced apart from baines


i wanted defenders who have the abilty to create and score

but i am regretting not having aguero and costa in my team
just hoping they hit a dry patch while rooney goes on a rampage (after monday's game obviously)
