Here’s a new FPL tips article where the FFGeek contributors show us their team before the transfer deadline. Here’s part 1 with Rob, Joseph, Alex, Shayne, Keith, FPL word and Mikael L. Danielsen. All these FPL managers finished in at least the top 0.5% last season
FPL tips – FFGeek contributors show their teams for GW2 – part 1
Here’s the start of the series where 10 or soFPL managers who contribute to the FFGeek site with good histories who show their teams each week. This will give people a feel for what other managers are doing. It’s a fairly informal thing with no obligation on anyone and these teams may change at anytime before the deadline without further notice. It also wont covering early transfers. It’s just to give an idea of the trends for the week no more
It’s the first time I’ve done it so forgive the formatting if it doesn’t work out 100%
Rob Reid (The FPL Vet)
Rob finished with a rank of 22k last season 4,701 in 2015/16 and 7,810 in 2014/15.
GW1 70 points
Here’s his GW2 team:
1 transfer – the likely injured Zaha out for Ramsey. This was a tough one regarding who to bring in. Mooy was the main rival for the Welshman but I was really impressed by Ramsey’s cameo on Friday night and I’d back him to start against Stoke in a box to box role. There’s still no definitive news on Zaha’s period out but it sounds like it could be around 4 weeks. This hasn’t been confirmed though I hasten to add! His price looks set to drop tonight and at this early stage in the season with budgets so tight I didn’t want to lose even £0.1m.
Ramsey comes straight in for Zaha and I’ve gone for Mee over Dawson in defence with his home fixture. Lukaku is my captain with him playing a Swansea defence that somehow managed a clean sheet against Southampton’s 29 shots.
Joseph Crilley
Joseph finished with an overall rank of 13k last season
GW1 score 74 points
Here’s his GW2 team:
My transfer was Zaha to Mooy so I can save some money for transfer(s) next week when we have some more information about players.
I brought Mooy in because he’s the key man in a team with excellent fixtures so looks good value at 5.5.
Armband is currently on Kane as I fancy him to do the business against a depleted Chelsea side. I will be very tempted to play safe with Lukaku but Kane’s london derby record of 19 goals in 26 games is hard to resist
Alex Ball
Alex finished in 10k in 16/17 28k in 15/16 and 3k in 14/15
GW2 team
Zaha to Mooy for my free transfer this week just to save some dollar. I like his potential for £5.5m and their excellent fixtures
Shayne Ellis
Shayne finished with an overall rank of 8k last season
GW2 team:
I transferred in Vokes for chicharito, with West Ham’s disappointing performance last weekend and Vokes scoring 7 goals in his last 6 appearances and now being Burnley’s main man with the sale of Gray, can’t resist his overall value of 6mill.
Also I captained Mane, Palace were poor defensively and Liverpool at home, edged my decision over Lukaku who is my vice cap.
Keith Spencer
Keith finished with an incredible rank of 325 last season
GW2 team. No transfers this week
FPL word
Top 9k in 16/17, top 1k in 15/16, top 5k in 14/15
GW1 scored 64 points
GW2 lineup
Zaha to Ritchie for me, 1.0m in the bank
Mikael L. Danielsen
Mikael finished 5,846 OR last season
Transfer: Ramsey replaced with injured Zaha.
Overall rank: 531,950
Team value: 100,1
Captain: Lukaku, Vicecaptain: Kane
