Gameweek 4 - A week to remember

Update: Some of my followers have asked that I show my weekly score and I shall very well do that. 

Gameweek 3 score : 

Hi Guys,

I must say I'm rather satisfied with last week's performance. I'm very disappointed with Rooney especially since he scored a hattrick against Brugge during their champions league qualification.

Looking at the overall robustness of my team (measured against schedules and form thus far), I think this team can take me far. A few minor tweaks I need is getting in a keeper that can be fixture-proof (possibly hart/cech) and a cheap keeper who actually plays (Mccarthly from CP). I also need to trade out Mings for a cheap pound-for-pound defender (what does that term even mean?).

It comes to no surprise that Wilson scored 3 goals last Gameweek. He definitely has the talent and has been the main goal-scorer for Bournemouth. They have a fairly lethal attack force but unfortunately, their defence is pretty bad.

Benteke has yet to fully assimilate into the Liverpool team and the next few games will determine whether I'll keep him in the long term.

Mahrez is on absolute fire. I'll keep it for as long as his form last. Once its gone, he'll be gone from my team as well.

I think all the other players are pretty standard - Hazard racking up an assist as he should be doing; Yaya Toure also notching an assist; Chadli likewise.

With all the above being said, I present you Gameweek 4. I'm going to play as many 'Home' players as I can. The current results are wayyy too skewed towards 'Away' wins.

I'm still tossed between captaining Benteke or Diouf. As of now, its Benteke. But I'll do a quick review and may very well decide to do a last minute switch.

Current Rank: 587, 451

Gameweek 3 - A Brighter Tomorrow

I'm barely in the top 50% right now, a position that makes me uncomfortable as it does not allow me to boast of my superior skills. Having done so much homework with NUMBERS over the last few weeks, I'm definitely saddened but ultimately undeterred by this.

Looking at GW3, I made 2 early transfers and got in Yaya Toure and Mahrez for Wanyama and Walcott. Getting these 2 out were no-brainers but choosing who to replace them became more difficult.

Yaya Toure - He is pure quality. Granted he did not perform well last season, I do believe that this may be his revival season. He may start to take penalities again  and in time to time, nick some balls into the back of the net.

Mahrez - He is cheap, he has assists, he has form and most importantly, I like to jump onto the bandwagon until Leicester proves otherwise. I haven't watched him play yet but stats don't lie.

This week, I'll scrutinize most games and make a fair assessment of all my players.

I may transfers the 2 ''untouchables'' next week should they not perform.

I may regret this but my gut tells me to captain Rooney (has a good record against the Magpies) and that's what I'm going to do.

Gameweek 2 - I might start to shit bricks soon

No doubt. Gameweek 1 was horrendous but I'm still not too worried yet. I have a solid team with good coverage in all areas. I'm not planning to switch any players out yet because I'm giving all the benefit of the doubt - first game jitters, and that they'll be able to show their 'true form' in GW 2. Needless to say, some players true form may be perpetually letting in goals faster that you rev your Bugatti, or their form may be hitting the crossbar to show Ronaldinho that he is not alone in craving for nike ads, worse of all, their true form may be carrick-like and pass the ball towards his own goal 99% of the time.

Beneteke is my captain of choice this week and I hope their opening game at Anfield will prove to be a memorable one. I feel the energy at Anfield reviving slowly but surely.

My entire midfield has the potential to do really well this game week as most are somewhat attacking players. Hazard has the hardest game but hazard is the reigning player of the year right? He should be indispensable....for now.

My only regret thus far is bringing in Mings instead of Francis for Bournemouth because he is not in favour to start games.

With all that being said, I will not reveal who I'm bringing in and who I'm axing because I'm not sure myself either. But I do like the fact that I have 1.5 milly in the bank such that I can get almost any player I want.

I present you GW2!

It is the time of the year where fpl warriors awake from their slumber and change their teams 5 times a day. Every warrior is undecided between taking in Aguero now or waiting until he is back with full fitness. I followed some rules strictly when choosing my GW1 Team.

1. Hazard and Rooney are must-haves. Hazard has been exceptional last season and he creates and scores. Although seemingly a little sluggish in pre-season games, he always shines when the games matter. Rooney is going to play as and out and out striker after the departure of Falcao. Rooney plays best in the central midfield role because he is a ball winner coupled with the fact that he usually passes forward unlike Carrick. However, when thrust back into his old role as a striker, I'm confident he'll put the goals in for Manchester.

2. Defence Team that doesnt require much transfer and have good rotation. For a large number of defenders, their scores have the lowest variance compared to midfielders and attackers. They will consistently score the same number of points every week without much fluctuation in prices. There are exceptions to the rule: Ivanovic

3. Think about possible transfers in future. I definitely want to bring in Aguero at some point and also bring in any ''in-form'' player. Thus, I'm clear of my team changes when an opportunity presents itself. 

With that said, I present you my GW1 team.
