    bego > mannone or krul?

    1. ZiDan

      I would go for Krul as better fixtures. Best to wait until after the games tonight in case any injuries.

        Hmm having used the comparison tool I am now thinking whether to get Jovetic rather than Ade...

        Is Jovetic the real deal? Is he still too rotation prone?

        1. Not Irish
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Real deal Holyfield.

          1. MJ6987
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            You think he is?

            1. Not Irish
              • 10 Years

              That's what I said. 😀

                Just checking!

              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              2 goals aside, he only had one header which went wide. He also only created 1 chance. What's so amazing about the stats?

          2. Bøwstring The Carp
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Agree, stats wise and performance wise.

        2. WorldCupDanB
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I'd say he's both.

          1. MJ6987
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            A rotation prone real deal?

            1. Bøwstring The Carp
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              As of the minute he isn't a rotation threat. I'm 99.9% certain he will start against Stoke

              1. MJ6987
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Cheers. Sorely tempted now. Save 0.6 as well.

          Koeman basically playing his best team in League Cup. What a muppet.

          1. Valar(Keith)
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Bertrand, Gardos, Morgan, Tadic on the bench though. 3-4 changes.. similar to most teams above.

            1. Not Irish
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Not sure Gardos is ready yet. Seems like Southampton should have more kids to blood in.

            Suppose e wants to get Pelle and Long firing.

        3. La Roja
          • 12 Years

          Tadic rested, get in

        My gut is telling me to captain Caulker this week.

        I don't think I can follow through, but this bodes well for his prospect of opening his goal scoring account for QPR. Had the same feeling ahead of Townsend's cross shot last season, a week which I actually did cap him.

        Stay strong Caulker owners, stay strong.

        1. Resnais
          • 9 Years

          I found comfort in this, strangely. Let's hope he rewards our patience!

          Will he start ahead of Chester when Hull play 2 CBs?

      • Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Welp, this lineup hasn't done much for me (despite the resident faithful contingent complimenting it, heh), any ideas? 2FTs this week

        DDG/Gilks
        Cahill-Dummett-VaAn-Caulker-Debuchy
        Arnie-Eriksen-Mata-Ramsey-Sig
        Rooney-Bojan-Costa

        Over the long run, I probably need to find replacements for Caulker, Arnautovic and Bojan, Debuchy and maybe Eriksen. What do you guys think?

      • Svidde
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Taylor, colochini or PVA? have to pick 2 of them.

        1. Kerz
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Colo and PvA

      • flygloble
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Who do I bench? Open to all suggestions.

        Im happy with my team at this point (only change I look to make is Mata - Di Maria when possible and wildcard is active so thats no problem)

        Im currently going with

        Krul (myhill)
        Hutton - Blackett - Clyne - Dummett (Dier)
        Sigurdsson - Fabregas - Mata - Ramsey (Sterling)
        Rooney - Jovetic [c] (Naismith)

        1. Albert_Luque
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Naismith, Blackett, Dier

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Surly united are gonna sort it out soon, a clean sheet against Burnly is a must. If Blackett doesn't play he wont get subbed on so Sterling will come on in that case anyway? Seems smarter than starting Sterling against a confident Spurs.

      • gravless

        Nooooo why is Clyne playing?

            2. Not Irish
              • 10 Years

              Rested surely. Only had a cameo appearance at the weekend.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          is Colo overkill as a Chambers replacement if I intend on getting Krul for Begovic as well? if so was liking the look of PvA, he gets forward a lot

          1. Bøwstring The Carp
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I've Krul and am transferring in Colocccini too tonight after the game if he survives 😀

            1. sinik
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              I think I MIGHT take a hit to do Begovic + Chambers > Krul + Colo this week..Begovic surely won't get more than 1 or 2 points vs City and with the rest of my defense being Azpi, Kolarov, Hutton and Baird it's possible I can't even field 3 defenders if Chambers doesn't play!

              would be a -4 that really just needs to score 4 or 5 points between the pair to be worth it

                9 years, 8 months ago

                Not sure I would want such an expensive keeper
                Don't know exact figures, but his points per pound would have been lower than many of the cheaper keepers last year, that extra million or mill and half could be valuable to swap ballo to say aguero without much shuffling

            3. Mak_Gold
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Should I do Bojan to Naismith now or wait until Friday night?

                  you'll lose 0.2 by waiting.

                  Money is going to have a considerably increased importance this year by the looks.

                          I am happy to pretend Naismith is 5.5 already and that way I can wait till after the Chelsea game

                        Why this year more than others? What's the theory on this?

                    So whats the plan Dzeko owners? Still feel like hes worth hanging onto when it seems fairly likely he'll start at the weekend

                    1. Jafooli
                      • 12 Years
                      9 years, 8 months ago

                      Just done Dzeko > Jovetic.

                      Could do with the extra 0.5m and also he might rise whilst D is likely to fall.

                        Would you still do it if Dzeko was cleared to play?

                          Probably not. Ditch Young first.

                    What to do with Dzeko?

                    I have 2 FT and no other pressing issues

                    Adebayor, Jovetic, Bony are some of the options

                      any confirmation of Dzeko's injury?

                        Dzeko's injury not too bad, just a knock, which is great news. (via @DTguardian)
