Dugout Discussion – Burnley vs Newcastle

Hope RuthNZ's post is made a hot topic. Price movement feels too arbitrary this season.

FPL thrives on it being a secret how prices will move from season to season. I don't actually know why that's important if you are trying to manipulate and pressure people into more active engagement with the site by way of moving prices.

Prefer the randomness of it all to be honest. FPL provides enough information nowadays

I think what you are asking for is transparency, as the current system seems to be hidden under secret algorithmic anal canal loving analysts hidden in the dungeons of FPL Towers.

What we need to understand is that when the capstone is close to being placed upon the pyramid, the elite lawmakers will enjoy our demise, to such an extent that they will no longer bother hiding their cynical lies anymore as the very institutions that protected them, fall into the hands of the enemies that are led by them.

Don't think FPL should tell people about the price rises or implement any sort of price predixtion. That will only influence people to be more concerned about their TV.

As Ruth said, they are managing certain aspects of it this season and that isn't right.

I haven't being bothered by TV this season. I've had a few players fall in value that I could have shipped but kept them and the following week they've produced points and gone back to their original value in the weeks after.

I agree COMPLETELY and have thought this for years

Most of my league competitors are casuals, and haven't the faintest idea to look at the FPLS or Fix, so I, knowibgvthe 'code' sites have a huge advantage over them every year

So long as FPL involves price rises / falls, then people will want to take and mitigate risk - by keeping the data under the tabs, they punish those without access to he data.

This years, otoh, is a complete fustercluck of their own making.

FPL have made a huge effort over the past 2 seasons to increase media content and drive interest all week.
The next area for growth should be the pricing element of the game.They could have a lot of fun with it, providing additional daily content such as "if 500 more managers show Lukaku the door in the next two hours, his price will drop. This is going right down to the wire, don't go anywhere".

I think they don't want to be transparent. They feel the need to protect sections of their client base. If they explain all, they will lose the ability to manipulate prices when they think it's for the greater good.

Perhaps they think it's too complicated. That group they're trying to protect might find the game interesting enough to participate so long as it's very simple. If it is marketed as a game in which pricing plays a significant part, they may feel they will lose that part of their base. It may also explain why there seems to be a concerted effort to reduce the impact of price changes on the game.

Personally I would prefer full transparency for this really interesting element of the game rather than guesswork.

I think FPL Towers setting up their own price prediction site could have its own pros and cons.

For example: It could perhaps allow the casual to actually see how all their "casual" transfers have influenced the market and therefore allow for less "casual" transfers to happen hopefully. Which would lessen random price fluctuations.

It could also however have an opposite effect in that more people now would have access to the market and could realistically try to sway it in certain ways to create rises and falls for certain players.

The pros and cons are there. Hearing peoples opinions has been interesting so far.

B

Jesus. Rotation risk. The other two are nailed.

Could be a call

Might punt on Sturridge before GW 12 WC if Couts is out.

Decent plan.

Looks fine

Do it.

Lukaku

Kaku

Cracking question. I'd say Lukaku might be more consistant

I think Haz could come into his own between now and Christmas. If he scores he's onto double figures basically
Still don't see the explosiveness from Lukaku
But....I may be going for both. Already have Haz and will only ditch him if desperate for cash. Definitely want him from GW14 for SWA NEW whu hud SOU eve BRI STO ars LEI bri BOU wat WBA. Just look at those home games...

Lukaku

I am considering cutting the C on Hazard this week if Kane ruled out. At home and he loves a big game. More to your question, I'll have both in my team from next week.

I know Morata is the current preferred Chelsea pick, but I think Hazard could outscore him in the coming weeks with a few explosions. Hopefully helped by a few penalty conversions!!!

Lukaku

Find a way to get one of Haz/Morata @GW14. 🙂

Only if they play 3 at the back, usually its 4 and Bailly Jones is no 1 partnership, Bailly is back now. So to answer maybe no....

No he's not and no I wouldn't.

Kane

Both could do very well
Really fancy Kun against Arsenal and might even cap him over Kane (have both)

Kane if fit.

I think city vs arsenal would be a good scoring game so I'll go for Aguero,given he starts pep spoils all plans

Yeah he's nailed. Could do a job in terms of the odd 6 pointer but don't expect too much in attacking returns or bonuses

Should be. Was injured during GW1 which is why he didn't play the next few. Decent budget option.

Are you sure you want to lose Alonso? Any other defenders can fund it?

nah

Because he's one of the best premier league strikers of all time spearheading one of the most frightening attacking sides in Europe?

Chelsea have nice run of fixtures , I have Morata but Chelsea defence too expensive for me .

Flip a coin.

Short term Hazard.

Alli seems out of form, if you can than also think of Pogba or hazard ,Chelsea have good fixtures & Pogba can be pivotal for united

Good team.
Nothing to really indicate that Dele will suddenly regain form though.. then again he was not much better at the start of last season too.

Great team. I like your Alli "punt". Not too sure about Kaku over Kun.

I got him in this gw, out of form but still has 3 goals and 3 assists in 10 and has been unlucky not to get another couple of goals in his last 3 fixtures. He's gonna start bringing in big points eventually and I think it will be over this great run of fixtures. My bet is this is the cheapest we'll see him all season too

De Gea to Pope will almost get you Hazard

Eriksen over Alli all day long.

Ya,got me to a 40 atleast

Lucky you =(

Same here!

Too sideways IMO, either one could have a monster GW

C

look at Arsenal's fixtures again and get rid of Kolasinac before Alonso

Save the transfers and have 2 ft to assess over the international window

Same situation. Waiting on Kane. Have Jesus and some cash. Jesus to Kun is an easy decision this week but we will want Kaku after this for his two home games.

Sorry, tis' the other way round

You need Simpson to play this week? or you have a backup?

Not for hit

I would hold for now as Joselu has a good home fixture this week.

A

A

Currently -97.8, so unlikely

I think it will be a while yet before we see price rise for mee

Love the name. But you need to get him in asap if you're going to rock a name like that.

He won't rise even after the deadline IMO.

Save with Caroll as the first sub

Alonso--> Daniels
Jesus--> Kane

if that's possible

Ok

Congratulations.

An impressive result. Cheers

Elliot

Always play your best team.

I played Elliot this GW and now, I have to bend the knee...

Mee
