Liverpool and United’s cut-price wide men both catch the eye this weekend. We also run the rule over Everton’s lone frontman, Tottenham’s attack under Tim Sherwood and a couple of Alan Pardew’s French imports:

2626 finish last year
578,895 so far this 😆Open Controlsasking only really because i can remember people saying that it's easy to finish in the top 10k if you put a bit of effort in, but it really isn't. i've been trying all year and i'm just doing brutally badly. was in the 2k's last year
Open Controls
3K last year, now languishing at 750,000 - really need a break
Open Controls
Top 20k 3 years running. Now about 550k. Everything iv done has turned to shit in the last 8 gw's.
Open Controls
Maybe past winners, whom for so long have rested on their laurels, have struggled to adapt to the evolution of Fantasy Football, this year's new trends which have come at a break-neck pace.
Open Controls
Not scaremongering, but just pondering.
Reading between the lines, Wenger quite explicitly mentions that Özil might need a rest sometime over the festive period.
Considering the fixtures, more likely to be whu if any. Right?
Dec 26 whu
Dec 29 new
Jan 1 CAR
Jan 4 TOT
...1 week break...
Re. Ramsey, Bemba has a fair point that Ramsey is less likely to be rested against Cardiff, considering his record against them and former club et al. So he could be rested vs whu as well, with Flamini/Arteta and Rosicky in CM?
What do you folks reckon? Is anyone free from rotation in that midfield?Open Controls"Bemba has a fair point" *logs off*
Open Controls
now if you stayed logged off that would be a christmas present and a half
Open Controls
Remember Arteta has swollen ankle after THAT tackle so could be rested.on Boxing day
Open Controlshis reaction was a tad exaggerated I think, Flamini should play over him nevertheless though 😉

Sure you want to captain Lukaku? Not exactly in the best of form.

If I tell you Silva will play CPL, is he the best midfielder in the game at the moment?

Night folks pick one to play :
A- Turner SOU (H)
B- Ward AVL (A)
C - Johnson MCI (A)Open Controls
Distin & Clyne flagged, Zaba out so only Debuchy & Coleman fit. FT used, do I bring Mert in for Zaba for a hit to boost the defence? Squad is...
Krul, (Szczesny)
As above
Yaya, Ramsey, Henderson, Hazard, (Januzaj)
Rooney, Lukaku, Suarez (c)Open Controls
7.6 to spend on a mid, not got Ramsey but think it's too late to bring him in especially over hectic Xmas period? Spurs have 2 good fixtures, any good options that'll play both games or go for cabaye, or any other thoughts???
Open ControlsCabaye defo 180mins over next to games but got arsenal, lamela easier fixtures but 110mins? Who wins???
Open Controls
cabaye
Open Controls
wow u can predict the amount of time they play?
Open ControlsWell there's the added factor that lamela's rubbish.
Open ControlsStill Mirallas. I won't be helping you again despite your awesome grav 🙂
Open ControlsThanks would consider him if I didn't have 3 Everton already, maybe should have shared that but at 200k you keep your cards to your chest...
Open Controls
Roo leads captain poll so no need for any more daft questions please re who to captain.....and relax
Open Controls
Some of us don't need a captain poll to tell us who to captain.
Open ControlsBit of a maverick eh?
Open ControlsProbably not much. I'm going Wally but I expect a fair few will join me this week with the lack of serious alternatives.
Open Controls
Correct

Evening fellas, Merry Christmas! Any thoughts on the below, 1 free, 0.6 bank.
Gazzaniga
Coleman Distin Burner
Ozil Hazard Ramsey Whittingham
Suarez Rooney Lukaku
Vorm Sterling Clyne Collins
A) Ozil > Walcott/Silva
B) Ozil & Sterling > Walcott/Silva & Cabaye (-4)
C) Clyne > Evans
D) SaveOpen Controls
just save. very hard over Xmas period. chance you will just transfer someone in who gets rested
Open Controls
I'm so confused as to who to bring in that I might just do nothing. Not only that but I'm not sure transferring out Ozil is a good idea either.
Ozil > Yaya/Silva/Theo?? Who the hell knows which one is correct?!Open Controls
Hold Ozil for one more and Palace at home may force your hand
Open Controls
Standard transfers for the week for me...Coutinho > Wally...Redmond > Barkley..
Front line of
Hazard Wally Silva Cabaye (Barkley)
Suarez (C) Rooney Lukaku
I still think Coutinho has it in him to get plenty of assists as his numbers are high for chances created as well as his rubbish shots at goal..time will tell.Open Controlsyep i sold for silva this week, wish id done itt last week.................. coutinhos season turns around now 😉
Open Controlscould do easily..I can accept that his shooting is rubbish and he joins Paulinho and Townsend in the reject pile for that..but he is creating chances for Suarez and that must surely come good at some point. Having said that Sterling is doing an even better job of that for half the money.
Open ControlsCut your losses on him. Sterling or Hendo are doing what you wish he was doing but for less cash. Win Win.
Open Controls
Who are your Goalkeepers/Defenders, pretty expensive front 7. Love it.
Open ControlsGone for a double up of North london and Merseyside for perfect home and away rotations plus one other..Not done me much good so far really compared to a few other roptions but that's been the plan.May do New/Sun instead soon...
Gazza Davis (Krul next week)
Walker Kos Coleman Johnson BurnerOpen ControlsChrist how do you afford that. Must have got Coleman and Lukaku pretty early on.
Open ControlsYeah I did..I based my early defence on these stats and decided to stick with it, well that and the rotation...Three of the most attacking defenders in the game..One topping the list, one doing ok, and another not so ok...http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/3832/
Open ControlsNice. I may sign up now...
Open Controlsoh sorry didn't notice..Walker, Johnson and Coleman have topped the attacking stats for defenders for quite a while..but you probably don't need a table to know that.
Open ControlsYeah great premise to pick those players on those stats. That's what sort of made me want to sign up...
Open Controlsyeah you should..It's great delving into the stats for nuggets..Here's a free one...Baines has delivered more than twice as many crosses as Coleman this season despite being crocked for so long...amazing...Coleman > Baines ????? (no chance but you get the picture)
Open Controls
If O Shea is confirmed not to play I will take the risk and captain Lukaku over Suarez. Backfired last time but Lukaku is also due
Open ControlsI'm going Lukaku. Had it on him as soon as the last GW got under way and have not swayed. The beast is overdue to score and Sunderland are overdue to concede.
Wes Brown has been the rock for them but he will not be present... Lukaku = floodgates.Open Controls
chester (MUN) ahead of davies (che) on the bench ?
Open Controls
Happy Xmas guys and girls.
Open ControlsSurprised at a lack of enthusiasm for Cabaye. Imagine if Cabaye was on the pitch for the penalty, he could have potentially had a brace.
Everyone would be going crazy to get him in, no?Open ControlsI can't get over last season's obsession with the hole though.
Open Controls
i'm shocked by everyone getting cabaye over lallana. lallana is no.10 and in the better team
Open ControlsWhen you do a real-life comparison, Lallana is the better player in a better team.
When it comes to fantasy, you've got to consider so many other things.
Price (Cabaye's cheaper)
Form (Newcastle are in better form and Cabaye's been instrumental)
Set-pieces (Cabaye owns this)
Fixtures (Slightly better for Newcastle)Open Controls
Hey guys
I know that nobody here is a mind reader, but how much time do we reckon Nasri will get this week and next? Will he be pushed out a bit by Navas or Milner?
CheersOpen Controlsyeah
Open ControlsAverage @80mins per game currently
Open Controls
In all of Citeh's early games Nasri was Silva's sub. He plays them together infrequently__Am I right? Not sure.
I don't think Navas has any affect on Nasri's game time but Milner clouds the skies. I am not sure tbh.
I just wish Navas would start more games.Open Controls
I was all set to get him in as my Everton cover tonight, but noticed the knock
Open Controls
Firstly, Merry Christmas everyone 🙂
Secondly, didn't Arsene say he might rest Ozil against West Ham? Drop to Wally now?Open Controls
He didn't say when. Could happen, and I did that transfer this week which also meant Sess --> Silva.
Going to miss Sess SO BADLY!Open ControlsLucky man, I've still gotta play Sess this week!
Just did Ozil -> Walcott, next week GJ -> Clyne and Sess -> Silva 🙂Open Controls
Merry Xmas. :):
Open ControlsThanks pinkfish 🙂
Open Controls
My front 8 are
Ozil/Hazard/Barkley/Lallana//Ravel
Suarez/Rooney/Lukaku
with Ravel currently on the bench.
I have 2 FTs.
A) Ozil & Ravel -> Walcott & Cabaye and play Cabaye over Lallana? Since both Wally and Cabaye are rising I'm gonna have to do it tonight;
B) Ozil & Lallana -> Silva & Cabaye;
C) just Lallana -> Cabaye?Open Controls
My cup opponent is now up, apologies if this is old news for everyone else...

It's cup time be careful of hits, bin Ozil for Silva this GW giving coverage for both teams
Open Controls
will berbatov play this week ?
Open Controls
Ward-Prowse out Barkley in before price rise. ??????
More likely to play and do something
Gives me the following front 8
Whittingham, Barkley, Ramsey, Ozil, Yaya
Rooney, Lukaku, Suarez
Would most likely be rotating Whittingham and Barkley as the others are nailed on starters for the most part.
The only niggle is that Everton and Cardiff do not rotate home/away.Open Controls
10 years, 4 months agowondering what the worst score is for people who did really well last year. say you were top 20k last year and are doing terribly this year, what are you on?
