Arsenal-Mania's Fantasy Football 13/14

[Giroud]

I've gone for Negredo, Van Wolfswinkel and Agbonlahor up front. Negredo was scoring a lot during preseason and had a good end to last season while Van Wolfswinkel scored a good bit in a ****e Sporting side. He'll get goals at Norwich. Anyone had a punt on Anelka or Vydra?

 

[Kroket]

Yup, real tough to pick players that'll get you goals, tried to fit in RVP despite his price tag as he's as close to a guaranteed 20+ goals as you can get but I just can't get it to work. Closest I can come is him plus Darren Bent, who at £6 million might be worth a gamble as I wouldn't be surprised if he grabs a decent amount of goals for Fulham. Then I could still add Lambert who should rack up plenty of points too but the price at £7.5 million seems a bit steep tbh.

At the moment I'm more inclined to just go with Negredo, Soldado & Benteke. Decisions, decisions.

You pick 2 top players and the rest of your squad is rubbish

Looking through the list of defenders I realize how many poor ones there are in the PL.

 

[Pea-Tear-Griffin]

Everton have been playing a variation of 352/5 at the back (much as Martinez employed at Wigagn) in pre season such as against Juventus etc.
As such I believe that Coleman is particularly good value(5.0million) and Baines if you can afford him.

 

[Giroud]

I've got Coleman. 5m sounds like a good deal for a defender who should get a good few clean sheets and some assists.

 

[squallkid]

I want to join but I always forget to update my team after the first week.

 

[spartandre217]

Just joined.. Should be interesting.

Anyone want to post your fantasy teams.

 

[Kroket]

Bit of gamble with Bony up front, Gabby Agbonlahor & Berbatov might have been safer (and cheaper) options but I can see the Ivorian getting off to a fast start. Really, really good player from what I've seen from him at Vitesse.

 

[Wouterus]

Good start Kroket, Mignolet with a clean sheet and a penalty save. I picked him too .

 

[mo50]

Mignolet was a great choice, I picked him too.

RvP should be in every team. Guaranteed points almost every week. I made him captain and earned 24 points.

 

[Clrnc]

Damn it, I changed Mignolet to Guzan last minute because Aston Villa was playing twice.

Never going to pick RVP. Against my principles even in fantasy football

 

[Kroket]

I dumped Nolan and Coleman in favour of Koscielny and Wilshere, that ended up being a great decision

Oh well, I still expect the Chelsea boys to score some good points, maybe Soldado too.

 

[bingobob]

Sitting 4th at present, Paulinho and Walker playing today and Zabaleta still to play.

I made a rookie mistake and left Arteta in the team

 

[CurryFlavoured]

Shocking first day, it wasn't helped by replacing Mert with Kos at the last second, Utd conceding late and Zaha not even playing. I still have 5 players left to play though.

 

[Bigbludfire]

I picked quite a few ****s with Van Judas being number one so I feel happier knowing they'll flop. Unfortunately the realist of me comes out that made me pick them to begin with

I've picked 4 set piece takers in Lambert(hasn't ever missed a pen for Southampton), Van Judas, De Guzman (replacing Ramirez because he's injured right now), Baines.

 

[Cudareli]

Dokaka, tried to inbox you but it keeps coming up with an error.

I'm playing fantasy football but with a drafting system, so players can only play for one team.

I picked up Ravel Morrison based on what I read about his pre-season form, but considering he started on the bench on Saturday, I'm contemplating trading him for Ross Barkley.

Do you think Morrison will get much game time this season?

 

[MDGoonah41]

people, you should really change your team name to be your A-M name. so we know who is who and can congratulate/mock accordingly

I would but I'm in half a dozen other leagues so the majority wins.

Maybe alter the opening post to include everyone's team name and username?

I'm "We Go Again" fwiw.

Top 30, but I essentially have 6 players left to play given the City game tonight and our game vs Chelsea on Wednesday. Including my captain

 

[fabo]

I got 53 pts so far with Zabaleta + 3 Chelsea players still to go. Really need something from Hazard, Lukaku against Villa. But I don't think I'll be keeping Lukaku anyway, won't play every week. Will go for Bony or Sturridge/Benteke as a replacement.

Defenders have saved my week so far with Mignolet, Kolo & Terry getting the pts. Also had bloody Whittaker on the bench who got a goal and an assist + bonus which is annoying but there's no way I would have started him.

Eerily similar to me

I've also got 53 points with Hazard Lukaku and Zabaleta to play again (although I also have Dzeko and Benteke) and am thinking of getting rid of Lukaku. As you said, not enough of a cert to start every game.
