Gamweek 7 - Indie Team for the Win

Results from Gameweek 6:

I'm very pleased over what happened during Gameweek 6. It was made even better that my automatic substitutions worked in my favour. Let's hope we can carry this momentum (is it even fair to call it a momentum) over to this week.

Gameweek 7

I couldn't find any good reason to keep Hazard. I don't think he is a bad player at all, but the exiting morale at Stamford Bridge will definitely dampen his confidence and hunger to win. Playing poorly for the last 5 games, by any standards, forces me to drop him. Freeing him seemed to be the most sensible as he cost the most. I now have plenty of money to make changes to my team.

I have swapped out Hazard for Payet is so hot right now. One of my key strategies was the ride the bandwagon early - which I did for Mahrez. Beyond just an incredible streak of luck, Payet is an on-ball genius with impeccable technical skills coupled with great vision. He not only knows where or how the most difficult pass is, but he also possess the risk-appetite in him to make such passes. I may sound like his wife now so I'll stop here.


I have also traded for Sakho for Diouf because of the possible of injured Diouf and also as an insurance for Payet. If Payet doesnt score or assist, then it must be true that Sakho is doing it all on his own. If both manages to perform well, than hurray for me. If not, I'll have to include the word 'Faith' in my next post for goodluck.

Below is my team for GW7. Good luck one and all.

Possibly switching Chadli for Wilson. Still contemplating. 

Gameweek 6 - No Change Just Faith

Last week's results

Last week's was nothing short of disastrous. Everything that could go wrong went wrong and it seems like its a common occurrence every week. Rather than blame bad luck, I'm back at it again evaluating fixtures, looking 3-4 weeks ahead to test the robustness of my team.

After looking through the transfer market and not see any immediate need to bring in any ''must-have'' player, I've decided to save my FT and make a change next Gameweek instead. Perhaps I should not term players ''must-haves'' as they have a tendency to flop in recent times.

My captain remains as Aguero, Arguably I could captain Wilson instead. My vote for each sways back and forth, akin to a voter in Iowa State. I may very well make a last minute switch and captain Wilson instead.

Players I need to trade out - Mings and Azpi.

Cheers Mate.

 

Gameweek 5 - International Break for football players or FPL players?

This is my result from Gameweek 4:

Another dismal week for me. With 2 players from my bench scoring a combined 19 points, I can't help but feel frustrated and annoyed at the same time. My last 2 gameweeks only seem decent because of Wilson who has been single-handedly keeping me afloat.


Let's look forward to Gameweek 5. I'm very excited this week not only because its a new week which promises hope and success, but because I tried FIFA 16 Demo version and I really liked it. I played with Manchester City, one of the 10 default teams, and felt very comfortable using Aguero and Toure. As such, both shall lead my team this week against Crystal Palace. No doubt Crystal Palace has superb form and a defiant defence, but character and class trumps all.

The rest of my players remain fairly unchanged from previous week. I haven't found any reason to make any major changes to my team. If possible, I do want to save my free transfer next week and go for a major change in 2 weeks times.

Trust me lads, for this week matches, just sit back with a beer and enjoy the matches, don't fret over your FPL team.
