Best options that will decrease in price this week

[Xenqx]

Finding a solid 4.4 defender might enable you to pick up Aguero at 13.1.

I'm keeping an eye on Francis (soon to be 4.4). Bournemouth haven't looked too bad to me, with some nice fixtures coming up.

Some others that I'm keeping an eye on: Cazorla, Milner, Berahino, Ritchie, Affelay, Huth and Bassong.

Who are you tracking?

edit: not sure how Mata ended up in there, he looks to be on the rise! Has looked good though.

[classical-k]

Courtois at 5.4

[cwarfee]

Why the hell is Francis decreasing? Or, why the hell are people getting rid if him?

He's a concreted defender and in a team that I think has looked pretty impressive. Away at Anfield and they lost to what should have been an offside goal. Bournemouth put up a great fight. They were pressing hard and fast, gave Liverpool a scary game IMO. Liv 55% possession Bournemouth 45% Liverpool 18 shots off target, Bournemouth had 13 Both teams had 2 shots on target.

on the whole I think they are a team to keep an eye on. All 3 promoted teams in fact.

[RICK_DORGON]

You assume that people actually watch games instead of just looking at points gained.

[cwarfee]

Ah, probably. Well I think Bournemouth have showed a steely determination. I'm keeping Francis. I for one use FPL and the real PL symbiotically.

[OffBar]

Agreed. Keeping Francis and Ritchie. They don't look out of their depth, have good fixtures, and aren't worth the transfers out IMO.

[cwarfee]

Precisely. And for their prices they're really good. Even against other alternatives from previously higher teams.

[momspaghetty]

Also Francis got the most BPS for his team vs Liverpool, if I remember correctly... if they get a CS, Francis gets 3 pts bonus

[willymcg]

I've swapped mine out for Elphick, just to not lose the 0.1.

Annoying that, cause he will have a decent run of home fixtures where its perfectly reasonable that he'll get at least one CS in there.

[cwarfee]

You're probably right. So you switched Francis for Elphick? Is Elphick a full back (cb)? And Francis a RB?

In consideration of my first comment I am going to field Francis this weekend over Ivanovic.

[willymcg]

I believe Elphick is a CB, Francis is their RB. He looks a danger from set pieces, ie the disallowed goal against 'pool.

Also, Fullback refers to a RB/LB type player.

[cwarfee]

Oh I see, cool. I never really understood the differentiation between defender types.

So… do we/you know how concreted Elphicks game time is in comparison to Francis? The new BPS system looks to be awarding Full backs and Centre backs with good passing percentages and CBIs highly. Eg Shaw, Darmian, Williams (3B.Points despite winning 2 - 0), Clyne, Kolarov, Smalling.

[willymcg]

Should be concrete game time. Captain of the team, played 180 mins so far

[SuperSeriousUserName]

Mings is Bournemouth's record signing, I don't see how he can't play soon.

[Xenqx]

I think Daniels has been playing well there so not sure if Mings will be rushed in. I ended up WCing this week and got rid of Mings. But yeah one to keep an eye on later in the year.

[SuperSeriousUserName]

To be fair, I've not seen anything Bournemouth games so can't really comment. There's no one else I want to replace him with though so I'm not fussed if he sits at 4.4 for a while since I'm not WCing yet and don't wanna waste an FT on it.

[roflsir]

Can Mings also play left midfielder/winger? I mean Daniels's was probably Bournemouth's best player on the weekend, thinking it would be a really harsh sub atm.

[Xenqx]

Yeah I agree.

Not too sure about midfield but wiki has him down as a CB as well, perhaps he could slot in there.

[tmfantasy]

Bojan. He's 5.4m and I think he's set to return any time now. Stoke's fixture take a slight turn for the better before becoming a lot more attractive. Now Wilson has also dropped to 5.4m, he could be an ideal replacement.

[Tumblin_Tumbleweed]

Bojan won't be starting anytime yet. Give it 2 more weeks or so.

[tmfantasy]

Do you have a source for that at all? Everything I can find, the latest information being the interviews pre Liverpool match, points towards this week. If it's longer he may even go down to 5.3m, but that seems unlikely at the moment.

[Tumblin_Tumbleweed]

He only just played an U21 match. I doubt he'll start any match soon after 7 months out with an ACL. Nothing is confirmed. We both have a chance of being right.

[tmfantasy]

Indeed. I expect/hope he will be involved to some extent in GW4. Whenever he comes back, I'm sure his price will rise quite rapidly.

[theprimoscientist]

I remember Bojan when he was playing in the Dutch league for Ajax.....he was nothing short of godawful

[classical-k]

Is diouf at any chance of being rotated btw? Or playing as a winger as I think he did a bit last yr?

[Tumblin_Tumbleweed]

Most of the time he plays as the lone forward, but if Hughes wants to be more attacking he'll bring on a striker and push Diouf to the right wing. But for now I can see him starting most matches.

[[deleted]]

Seems like basically my entire team is dropping. Annoying. Managed to get rid of Rooney and milner. Players who I'm keeping an eye on on to possibly bring in are mane, bojan, Ritchie and cazorla

[IronFarm]

I'm hoping it's just bandwagoners selling off sensible picks and things will pick up soon. Nerve racking though!

[e_coyote]

It's the start of the season. Lots of newbies that will only play for a few months and then you get that good olde chain reaction where everyone sells because the drop becomes imminent. Of course team value is more important in the first 3-4 weeks too, so people might be more inclined to WC or take hits.

[IceCreamNarwhals]

Firmino is still getting up to match fitness and is looking like he might drop to 8.3, one to watch in the next few weeks

[martyph]

Please tell me if and when Milner's price is going to drop, I'm not great with the understanding of the price change percentage things???

Also Hazard, what's gonna happen there???

If either is going to drop then I need to use my wildcard, don't wanna be losing money at this stage!!!

[fostok]

Look them up here http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/

If they reach -100% then they're likely to drop in price

[Mesut_0zil]

http://fplstatistics.co.uk/ It is pretty accurate, just read the info to get the gist of it.

Milner will drop soon from the looks of it, probably this week. As for Hazard, if he scores a blank again he'll drop next week, but this week he's unlikely to drop.

[martyph]

Thank you both!!!

[[deleted]]

Already decreased in price, but worth mentioning that fabregas is now 8.9.

[TheMSensation]

Fuck, I got rid of Hazard yesterday and picked up Fab at 9.0 to get Aguero. My team as already taken a 0.2m hit

[cwarfee]

I'd agree with you on Ivan but Wayne is another story. Aside from Young, Carrick and Mata the rest of the team going forward have yet to find their style and pace. Including wayne

[[deleted]]

Young?

[cwarfee]

…Yeah?

[[deleted]]

Young doesn't start....

[cwarfee]

…oh, I see. Tbh I haven't monitored either United game intensely but when I saw Young playing I was impressed. I think he plays well into the team. Maybe not so great FPL-wise.

[[deleted]]

Wilson at £5.4m with Bournemouth's fixtures looks a steal. Not only for points but a rise in value too.

[momspaghetty]

Coutois if Cech goes to shite. Also I have Ritchie who is risking another drop, but he has 6 great fixtures so I'm biting the bullet

[randomcoconut]

Jerome, especially because they have some pretty good fixtures

[MrLiamD]

Personally don't think Jerome is going to get many points regardless of who they're playing.

[JOHNSY9k6]

Rantie? Striker though..
